Ex-Massachusetts gov. trumps rivals in Wisconsin, Maryland and D.C., taunts Obama

Everything goes Romney’s way By DAVID ESPO and KASIE HUNT Associated Press

Local’s struggle on A&E

MILWAUKEE — Mitt Romney tightened his grip on the Republican presidential nomination Tuesday night, sweeping primaries in Wisconsin, Maryland and Washington D.C., with time left over to swap charges with President Barack Obama. “Four more years?” Romney asked sarcastically of the president as supporters cheered him

to pad his already-wide delegate lead over Republican rival Rick Santorum, who flashed defiance in the face of pressure to abandon his own candidacy in the name of party unity. Wisconsin was the marquee contest of the night, the only place of the three on the ballot where Santorum mounted a significant effort.

The state has granted five local school districts exemptions to tax hike limits, allowing them to increase property taxes by a combined total of nearly $2.5 million beyond the state-set limits. The limits are set each year as part of the law known as Act 1, which authorized the use of money from legalized gambling at casinos to offset school district property taxes for homeowners. As part of When Gov. that deal, the Tom Corbett law restricts how much dis- took office tricts can raise last year he taxes each year. pushed sucTo exceed the cessfully to limit, the district must ei- have the numther get voter ber of exempapproval or get tions reduced an exemption to three. from the state. In previous years there were 10 exemptions, allowing wide latitude for districts seeking to exceed the tax cap, known as the “Act 1 index.” When Gov. Tom Corbett took office last year he pushed successfully to have the number of exemptions reduced to three. Two of those exemptions are to raise money to cover high special-education costs – a cost incurred largely because of state and federal regulations, and payments to pension funds, an amount set by the state, not the district. Typically, those were the exemptions sought by local districts in the past, so loss of other exemptions last year may not have had much impact here. Hazleton Area – Luzerne County’s biggest district – sought the biggest exemptions: $1.3 million for special education and $652,002 for pension payments. The state granted the full pension request but approved only $769,614 for the special education request. The state approved full amounts for pensions requested by the other four districts, LakeLehman, Northwest Area, Wyoming Area and Wyoming See EXEMPTIONS, Page 10A

Area grocery chains ring up high praise in magazine’s survey Wegmans tops list of nationwide chains based on several categories in Consumer Reports reader survey. By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

Grocery store chains with a presence in our area fared well in a reader survey conducted by Consumer Reports that appears in the magazine’s May edition. Wegmans topped the list of 52 grocery store chains nationwide determined by price, service, cleanliness and quality of meat and produce. Also making the cut were Aldi (20th), Target (22nd), Giant (23rd), Price Chopper (30th), Sam’s Club (33rd), Weis (46th) and Walmart Super-

center (51st). The magazine conducted a survey of readers asking them about the shopping experiences at one or two stores between April 2010 and April 2011. Those stores were limited to supermarkets, supercenters, warehouse clubs and limited-assortment stores. Wegmans scored 88 points out of a possible100 to secure the top spot on the list. It scored well in service, cleanliness and perishables, and scored above average in price. Aldi registered a score of 79, and readers ranked it average in service and perishables but excellent in price and above average in cleanliness. “Wegmans is very pleased to be included in this list of See GROCERY, Page 10A

Police: Man reveals another alleged victim Charged with assaulting two boys, Duryea man said he also molested a third, police say.

By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

PLAINS TWP. – A former youth camp volunteer arrested last month on charges he sexually assaulted two boys alerted Duryea police to a third male juvenile. Vito Joseph Russo, 40, of Evans

Street, Duryea, contacted police on March 20 allegedly admitting he performed lewd sex acts numerous times on a Russo boy from 2009 to December beginning when the boy was 11 years old, according to the criminal complaint. Russo was arraigned by District Judge Diana Malast in Plains Township on charges of in-

voluntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child, indecent assault, endangering the welfare of a child, corruption of minors and indecent exposure. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $50,000 bail. According to the latest criminal complaint: Russo stated took the boy to church and Boy Scouts’ functions beginning when the boy was 11 years old. He said he performed numerous lewd acts on the boy, who often slept in his house.

County council eyes vacancies

Boards and authorities have unpaid openings that need to be filled. By JENNIFER LEARN ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

ROMNEY Continued from Page 1A

Returns from 15 percent of the state’s precincts showed Romney with 43 percent of the vote to 38 percent for Santorum, 11 percent for Ron Paul and 6 percent for Newt Gingrich. Returns from 25 percent of Maryland’s precincts showed Romney with 48 percent of the vote to 30 percent for Santorum, 11 percent for Gingrich and 9 percent for Ron Paul. With 43 percent precincts counted in Washington, Romney had 68 percent of the vote to 13 percent for Paul and 11 percent for Gingrich. Santorum was not on the ballot. “We won ‘em all,” he declared. Romney won at least 74 delegates in the three races, with 21 yet to be allocated. That pushed his total to 646 of the 1,144 needed to clinch the nomination. Santorum has 272 delegates, Gingrich 135 and Paul 51. Interviews with voters leaving Republican polling places in Maryland and Wisconsin showed an electorate more concerned with a candidate’s ability to defeat Obama than with the strength of his conservatism, his moral character or his stand on the issues. Similar soundings in earlier states have consistently worked to Romney’s advantage. Voters in both states were less apt to be born again or evangelical Christians than in most previous contests — 34 percent in Wisconsin and 32 percent in Maryland. Based on earlier contests, that, too, suggested an advantage for Romney. Increasingly, Romney and many senior figures in his party have begun behaving as if the primaries are an afterthought, hoping to pivot to the fall campaign and criticism of Obama. “He gets full credit or blame for what’s happened in this economy and what’s happened to gasoline prices under his watch and what’s happened to our schools and what’s happened to our military forces,” Romney said of the president while campaigning in Waukesha, Wis. Obama said things could be worse — and predicted they would be if Romney and Republicans got their way. In a speech to the annual meeting of The Associated Press, he said a House-passed budget written by Republicans was “antithetical to our entire history as a land

mas A. Blaskiewicz and John D. McCarthy Jr. serve on the board, though Sharkey hasn’t attended meetings in years. The authority provides tax-exempt bond status for nonprofit health care providers and educational institutions to help them attract investors. Council has been asked to endorse a loan of up to $42 million for Wilkes University to build a new science building. The county accepts no risk in the unlikely event of a default because the bond is insured, authority Solicitor Pete Moses told council. Council may vote on the Wilkes loan endorsement at its April 10 meeting.

Council also must fill singleseat vacancies on the Luzerne County Community College Board of Trustees, the county ethics commission and transportation authority. Five seats are vacant on the Children and Youth Advisory Board. All seats on these boards are unpaid, and citizens have already applied, largely in response to the county’s online application at www.luzernecounty.org under the council link. For example, there are 25 applicants for the community college seat and 23 for the children and youth board.

of opportunity and upward mobility for everybody who’s willing to work for it ... It is a prescription for decline.” When he wasn’t focusing his rhetoric on Obama, Romney prodded Santorum to quit the race, suggesting a refusal to do so could cost the party the election in November. “The right thing for us, I think, is to get a nominee as soon as we can and be able to focus on Barack Obama,” Romney said in an interview with Fox News. “You have to remember that it was Ross Perot that allowed Bill Clinton to win” in 1992, he added, a reference to the Texan who ran as an independent that year. Santorum, in his home state of Pennsylvania, took note of the calls for him to exit the race. “Ladies and gentleman, Pennsylvania and half the other people in this country have yet to be

heard, and we’re going to go out and campaign here and across this nation to make sure that their voices are heard in the next few months.” For Romney, the end of the contested primary campaign could hardly come soon enough. Obama has gained in the polls in recent months, particularly among women, as Republicans vie among themselves for support from a conservative party electorate. Santorum has devoted more time to social issues — including birth control — than Romney, who has generally stayed focused on economic issues. Additionally, surveys indicate Americans are growing more optimistic about the overall state of the economy. Unemployment has fallen in recent months, but it is still at a relatively high 8.3 percent of the work force.

Elizabeth E. Goss

The boy told police that Russo was “a family friend and was like a father figure” to him, the criminal complaint says. The boy said he did not know it was wrong until recently. Police arrested Russo on March 14 on allegations he sexually assaulted two younger boys he met while transporting children on a bus to functions with the Independent Bible Church in Duryea and to youth camp. One of the boys told police he met Russo when he was 9 years old, and the other boy was 8.

Munchak reports to prison to begin serving his sentence By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

Former Lackawanna County Commissioner A.J. Munchak reported Tuesday to a federal prison in North Carolina to begin serving a seven-year prison sentence on corruption charges. Munchak, 65, surrendered himself to the Federal Correctional Institution at Butner in Raleigh, N.C., a low security facility, at around 12:30 p.m., said Chris Burke, a spokesman for the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Munchak and his co-defendant, former Commissioner Robert Cordaro, were sentenced in January on numerous counts, including bribery and extortion and tax evasion, for demanding money from companies that did business with Lackawanna County while they served as majority commissioners.

Landfill to get more trash

The state Department of Environmental Protection has approved a change to Keystone Sanitary Landfill’s operating permit that will allow the Lackawanna County facility to increase its daily acceptance of trash. The permit modification allows Keystone, located in Dunmore and Throop boroughs, to increase its average daily volume of trash from 4,750 to 7,250 tons and its maximum DeNaples daily volume from 5,000 to 7,500 tons. The landfill is owned by businessman Louis DeNaples. In December 2011, DEP held a public hearing on the proposed permit changes and reviewed all input. Landfill gas odors were a primary concern. Keystone has drilled 37 additional gas wells to capture landfill gas, added flares and installed temporary and permanent caps across 21 acres of its facility, with additional capping set to begin this month. The company has also increased its patrols for nuisance odors and put measures in place to immediately report problems to DEP and the host municipalities.

But work on renovation of PNC Field on hold until agreement reached

Officials optimistic about sale By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

MOOSIC – While a binding agreement has not yet been reached, officials on all sides of the negotiations are optimistic that a deal will be struck soon on the sale of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Triple-A baseball franchise. Until an agreement is reached, though, work on the renovation of PNC Field will be on hold. Lackawanna County Commissioner Corey O’Brien said Tuesday that negotiations are ongoing to iron out the details of “a potential agreement.” “At this point, that’s where we are,” O’Brien said. “We hope to have it concluded soon. We will do whatever is in the best interests of the taxpayers.” As for the estimated $40 million stadium renovation project, O’Brien said,

“work won’t start until there’s an agreement with the SWB Yankees.” About 3,000 miles away on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles, Larry Freedman, executive vice president at team manager Mandalay Entertainment, said negotiations continue to progress. “We feel the project will get done and we will be there for a long, long time,” Freedman said. Freedman declined to be more specific. He said the minority participation of Mandalay chief executive Peter Gruber in the $2 billion purchase of the Los Angeles Dodgers has “absolutely nothing” to do with Mandalay’s interest in the local Triple-A franchise. In November 2010, the Lackawanna County Multi-Purpose Stadium Authority reached a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Mandalay Base-

Trust to honor Gilmours

The North Branch Land Trust will honor Wilkes University President Tim Gilmour and his wife, Patty, with its Community Stewardship Award at its 13th annual Dinner and Auction on May 10 at the Westmoreland Club. The event begins with cocktails at 5:30 p.m. followed by dinner. Since coming to Wilkes in June 2001, the Gilmours have exhibited a commitment to projects that advance urban and environmental sustainability on the university campus and Gilmour in the region. Wilkes launched the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research for Northeastern Pennsylvania with a $1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy. The Institute is tracking the environmental impact of Marcellus Shale drilling. In March the university broke ground on a state-of-the-art science building that will use sustainable practices in its construction and subsequent operation. Patty Gilmour has taken a lead role in the greening of the Wilkes campus and in advancing sustainable landscaping practices. Her contributions include the creation of an urban native habitat and a pollinator garden emphasizing organic gardening.

Forty Fort fire change doubted Vote to move engine to Kingston’s station during the day raises questions about response times. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

FORTY FORT – Borough Councilman Rob Craig is questioning an unexpected vote taken by council members Monday night that approved stationing the borough’s fire truck at the Kingston Fire Department during daytime hours. Craig said the issue, which was not on the agenda, came up “out of blue” without any prior public discussion. It was voted on by council late Monday night after nearly all residents had left the meeting. The motion, approved by a 4-2 vote, calls for the borough’s engine to be stationed at Kingston, which has had a cooperative agreement to provide fire

coverage to Forty Fort, for a twomonth trial period beginning April 15. The borough’s fire department consists of four paid members and volunteers. The fire engine currently is stationed at Kingston from 4 p.m. to 7 a.m., but remains at the borough’s station located at Wyoming Avenue and River Street during the day, Craig said. Craig, who voted against the transfer along with council member Dotty Craig, his mother, said he opposes the move because he believes it will increase response time. “I’ve been a volunteer firefighter over 20 years. I’ve seen how fast a small cooking fire can engulf a room in a matter of minutes. To have someone there as soon as possible, even if it’s to grab a fire extinguisher out of a truck to hit it, is crucial,” Craig said. Council President Joe Chacke said some sections of the borough are closer to Kingston’s station than Forty Fort’s station, so response times to

those areas will actually be quicker. Chacke supported the transfer along with council members Frank Michaels, Rick Kamus and Karen Martinelli. Councilwoman Betty Mascelli was not at the meeting. Chacke and Bob Sgarlat, one of the paid firefighters with the borough, said there are benefits to being stationed at See ENGINE, Page 5A

WILKES-BARRE – After several weeks of effort, an attorney for three people who allege they were scammed by attorney Anthony Lupas said he succeeded in serving Lupas with notice of a lawsuit that’s been filed against him. Ernest Preate Jr. of Scranton said Lupas was served Tuesday with a writ of summons, a legal document that notifies a person they are being sued, but does not contain specific allegations. Preate represents Frank Pisano, John Pisano and Joseph DeSanto, who are among numerous people who Lupas allege Lupas bilked them out of money through a bogus investment scheme. Preate had filed court papers last week seeking permission to serve Lupas via public notice in a newspaper after repeated attempts to serve him with the suit at his apartment in Plains Township failed. He said he succeeded in serving the papers Tuesday with the help of attorney Joseph Blazosek. Another 17 people represented by other attorneys also have sued Lupas. It could not be determined Tuesday whether those suits had been served on Lupas as well. Now that Lupas has been served, Preate said he can move forward to obtain records and schedule depositions of those who may have knowledge of the alleged scheme. Whether he will be able to question Lupas remains in question, however. Preate acknowledged he may have a difficult time questioning Lupas, given Lupas is facing a mail fraud charge the U.S. Attorney’s Office filed against him last week. He said he suspects Lupas may use the criminal case as a reason to refuse to answer questions.

Hazleton transit wants to hit brakes on consolidation with LCTA Officials want more time to gauge impact on southern city. By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

Hazleton wants to put on hold plans to consolidate its public transit system with the Luzerne County Transportation Authority. City officials saidtheyneedmoretimetoconsider how the move would impact the city.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation offered all transit systems in the state the opportunity to participate in consolidation studies two years ago. Hazleton City Council voted in February 2010 to participate in a study, with the result being a plan for the LCTA to consolidate with Hazleton Public Transit, as well as with the Luzerne/Wyoming Counties Transportation Department. Hazleton City Council approved the plan in November,

and the county commissioners the LCTA board followed suit in December. Tonight, council is expected to rescind that approval. Hazleton has questions PennDOT hasn’t addressed, City Administrator Mary Ellen Lieb said. “I think we’ve been dealing with this for a good three months now and we don’t feel there’s been any progress that’s been made,” Lieb said. “We don’t feel that any of the concerns that the mayor has or that (the city) transit (authority)

LCTA Executive Director Stanley Strelish said he had no comment on Hazleton’s decision. Strelish said Hazleton has not contacted LCTA about the consolidation and that the authority has not heard back about an agreement it sent the city in January. has have been addressed.” In particular, Lieb said the city is concerned that PennDOT transit grant funding previously allocated to Hazleton wouldbepaidtoLCTA,andthat transit in Hazleton would not be adequately funded by LCTA.

The city is also concerned that only one of two the Hazleton residents appointed in March to LCTA’s board will have voting rights, she added. Steve Hahn, who was named See HAZLETON, Page 5A

OAKLAND, Calif. — A nursing student expelled from a small Christian university and upset about being teased over his poor English skills opened fire at the school, going from room to room in a rampage that left six students and a secretary dead, police said Tuesday. One L. Goh, 43, forced the secretary into a classroom at Oikos University in Oakland on Monday, told people to line up and, when some didn’t cooperate, began his shooting spree, police Chief Howard Jordan said. “It’s very, very sad,” Jordan said. “We have seven people who didn’t deserve to die and three others wounded because someone who couldn’t deal with the pressures of life.” Goh, a South Korea native who became

a U.S. citizen, was expelled in January from the school for behavioral problems from the small private school of fewer than 100 students, Jordan said. The chief said Goh had anger management issues with other students. Jordan said Goh appeared to have been planning the attack for several weeks. Goh was upset with administrators and several students at the college, which an official said offered classes in Korean and English and was founded to help Korean immigrants adjust to a new country and find careers in nursing and ministry. Goh was being held without bail Tuesday after being booked on suspicion of murder, attempted murder, kidnapping and carjacking, according to sheriff’s Sgt. AP PHOTO J.D.

Several other developing twisters were reported as a band of violent storms moved north through the metropolitan area. Officials had no immediate information about injuries. Footage from highway video cameras showed a large, dark funnel cloud moving on the ground not far from a major interstate early Tuesday afternoon. In Lancaster, south of Dallas, local television footage showed homes without roofs while other buildings were flattened.

The surgery on Cheney, who has had a long history of heart troubles, was performed at Inova Fairfax Hospital Heart and Vascular Institute in Falls Church, Va. In a prepared statement, Cheney thanked his doctors and the unknown donor. Cheney, 71, waited nearly two years for the heart. He has had five heart attacks since the age of 37 and suffered his most recent one in 2010. BEIRUT

Syrian troops start pullout

Syrian troops began pulling out Tuesday from some calm cities and headed back to their bases a week ahead of a deadline to implement an international cease-fire plan, a government official said. The claim could not immediately be verified and activists near the capital Damascus denied troops were leaving their area. They said the day regime forces withdraw from streets, Syria will witness massive protests that will overthrow the government. President Bashar Assad agreed just days ago to an April 10 deadline to implement international envoy Kofi Annan’s truce plan. It requires regime forces to withdraw from towns and cities and observe a cease-fire. ISLAMABAD

U.S. offers $10M bounty

The United States has offered a $10 million bounty for a Pakistani militant leader who allegedly orchestrated the 2008 Mumbai attacks and has been directing an anti-American political movement in recent months. The move could complicate U.S.Pakistan relations at a tense time. Pakistan’s parliament is debating a revised framework for ties with the U.S. following American airstrikes that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers in November. The reward is for “information leading to the arrest and conviction” of Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, who founded the militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba with alleged Pakistani support in the 1980s to pressure archenemy India over the disputed territory of Kashmir. The U.S. also offered up to $2 million for Lashkar-e-Taiba’s deputy leader, Hafiz Abdul Rahman Makki, who is Saeed’s brotherin-law. Pakistan banned the group in 2002 under U.S. pressure, but it operates with relative freedom under the name of its social welfare wing Jamaat-udDawwa — even doing charity work using government money.

Profane tweet stirs speech fight High school student expelled over late-night session on Twitter. He says it didn’t involve school. The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — Austin Carroll was fighting insomnia when the Indiana teenager turned to Twitter for relief and casually dropped the F-word multiple times, apparently to demonstrate to his followers that the expletive would fit almost anywhere in a sentence. But his middle-of-the-night profanity quickly cost him. A few days later, Carroll was expelled from high school over his foul-mouthed lapse, even though the word wasn’t directed at anyone, and he says the tweet didn’t involve his school. Now the 17-year-old senior is at the

Carroll

center of a debate over how closely school officials may monitor students’ online activities when they aren’t in class or even on school property, an issue that has frustrated administrators and confounded

courts. Carroll insists he made the tweet on his own time using his own computer, making it none of the school’s business. But school officials in the small city of Garrett, about 20 miles north of Fort Wayne, contend that the teen used either his school-issued computer or the school network. The details could spell the difference between a routine school discipline case and a broader First Amendment dispute.

School officials say they cannot discuss a student’s disciplinary record and will not say why Carroll was expelled March 19 from Garrett High School, a 600-student school where younger students are given iPads and older ones are sent home with MacBooks. His mother, Pam Smith, believes it was in retaliation for her son’s previous misbehavior, which included a suspension earlier in March for violating the dress code by wearing a kilt to school and a suspension last fall for using the same expletive on a school computer. Then on March 16, her son tweeted the F-word again. Carroll, who did not respond to interview requests from The Associated Press, told Fort Wayne television station WPTA that he was just trying to be funny.

Wife, 80, lands small plane for ill husband Pilot husband, 81, fell unconscious at controls, later pronounced dead at hospital. The Associated Press

STURGEON BAY, Wis. — An elderly woman with no recent piloting experience landed a small plane that was running dangerously low on fuel after her husband fell unconscious at the controls, the director of a northeastern Wisconsin airport said Tuesday. Helen Collins, 80, had some flight training years ago but was not familiar with the controls of the Cessna twin-engine plane on Monday evening when her husband passed out, said Keith Kasbohm, director of Cherryland Airport where she landed, near Sturgeon Bay. Another pilot took to the skies to guide Collins to the ground, but she had to land the aircraft herself. “She was on her last attempt to get lined up with the runway,” Kasbohm said. “She reported one engine was sputtering on that last attempt to “The first land. We were all watching thing I and knew she thought of had to do it.” Collins’ 81- is, ‘We year-old hus- have to band, John, find somewas later pronounced dead one to help at a hospital. talk this Helen Collins had called woman 911 from the down.’ ” Cessna prompting air Keith Kasbohm traffic controll- Airport director ers in Green Bay to alert Kasbohm. “The first thing I thought of is, ‘We have to find someone to help talk this woman down,’ ” he said. Kasbohm called Robert Vuksanovic, a pilot who lived just a mile from the airport. Vuksanovic jumped in another plane owned by the Collins and flew up to meet the Cessna while instructing the novice on the radio. “He felt it would be easier,” Kasbohm said. “With him alongside of her he could control her speed and altitude” before she attempted a landing. Kasbohm described Collins as “cool, calm and collected on the radio” as the aircraft made a hard landing and skidded about 1,000 feet before coming to rest. “She must have flown around here about 10 times,” said Torry Lautenbach, whose property is next to the airport. “She did a really good job (landing the plane). It was amazing,” Lautenbach said. “It took one bad hop and then it came back down and skidded.”

Obama: New GOP would reject Reagan The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama said Tuesday Republicans want to enforce a “radical vision” on the nation, accusing the opposition party of moving so far to the right that even one of its beloved figures, Ronald Reagan, could not win a Republican presidential primary today. Obama sought to present himself as the protector of the middle class and the leader of a

Democratic Party that is willing to compromise. He singled out Mitt Romney for criticism and more broadly said Republicans had shifted from any reasonable debate on issues. Republicans “will brook no compromise,” Obama told news executives at The Associated Press annual meeting. He cited a GOP debate late last year when the entire field rejected the prospect of $10 in spending cuts for every $1in tax

increases as a means to lower the debt. “Think about that. Ronald Reagan, who as I recall was not accused of being a tax-andspend socialist, understood repeatedly that when the deficit started to get out of control that for him to make a deal he would have to propose both spending cuts and tax increases,” Obama AP PHOTO said. “He did it multiple times. He could not get through a Re- President Barack Obama gestures as he speaks Tuesday at publican primary today.” The Associated Press luncheon during the ASNE Convention.

HAZLETON Continued from Page 3A

Hazleton’s transit director last month, said he, Hazleton’s council and the recently seated Luzerne County Council need to review the impact of consolidation before moving forward, and he attended Tuesday’s county council meeting to further that process. “I think the city of Hazleton needs to look at whether that partnership would really be in the best interest of southern Luzerne County,” Hahn said. “They’re really two different operations.”

ovations through its Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program. Ewing Cole, the architectural firm hired last year to design the new stadium, set March 20 as the start date for the project. As construction goes on, the Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre Yankees will play most of the 2012 season in ballparks in upstate New York as the Empire State Yankees. While O’Brien and Freedman declined to discuss the “sticking points” in the negotiations, Randy Mobley, president of the International League, said he’s not concerned “this week.” “Right now we’re focused on getting our season opened up in two days,” Mobley said from his Dublin, Ohio, office. “Right now the situation in Scranton/WilkesBarre is not at the top of things we’re thinking about. Next week we will get back to seeing where things are.” Mobley said there some things need to get done to ensure Triple-A baseball returns to the region in 2013. “First, the team has to have a facility to play in,” Mobley said. “There is a deteriorated facility there right now that is in need of repair. That has to be addressed if baseball is going to continue to be played there.” In the fall, Mobley said, all International League teams must guarantee they have a place to play the following season. “The significant point will be this fall,” Mobley said. “Come April 2013, they must have an acceptable facility to play in.” Mobley said the league has the power and authority to revoke franchises if requirements are not met. “We do have a situation developing with that facility,” he said. “If something isn’t done by some point in time, we would have to look at options.” Mobley said he expects the stadium project to get done, and if the project starts later than anticipated, construction schedules can be extended to ensure completion. The league is aware of declining PNC Field attendance, which could be attributed to the condition of the facility, management or economic issues, Mobley said. “As far as the management situation, everybody involved is looking to bring the fun and excitement back to the ballpark that we’ve seen there before. That seems to have fallen away for various reasons,” he said. Mobley said the franchise hold-

LCTA employs its drivers and all are union employees, whereas Hazleton owns its buses but contracts its drivers and most maintenance through three bus companies based in Hazleton. Each of those companies is under a threeyear contract with about two and a half years remaining, Hahn said. Hahn said a merger is unlikely to lead to layoffs since there are few redundancies between LCTA and Hazleton’s bus routes, but said it’s uncertain how LCTA would deal with those companies and their employees when the contract expires. There could also be logistical problems with consolidation, Hahn said.

“One would think that if you were concentrating and operating from the southern part of the county, it would make no sense to have a bus travel to Wilkes-Barre to refuel for instance,” Hahn said, adding. “It wouldn’t make much sense for a bus from Hazleton to travel to Wilkes-Barre to get repaired by a union mechanic for a union rate.” LCTA Executive Director Stanley Strelish said he had no comment on Hazleton’s decision. Strelish said Hazleton has not contacted LCTA about the consolidation and that the authority has not heard back about an agreement it sent the city in January.

people who are all on the same page. It works out 100 percent better.” Craig said he has other issues with the coverage agreement with Kingston. He and Jim Shedlarski, chief of Forty Fort’s volunteer company, said there has been friction between volunteer and paid firefighters, and believe the change is a precursor to efforts by some council members to disband the volunteer department.

“They’re looking to get rid of our end of the fire department completely,” Shedlarski said. “The town really needs to know what’s happening.” Chacke said he believes Craig’s criticism is based more on personal animosity toward Chacke. He also noted the change is provisional. Council will monitor response times and if it’s determined there is an issue can opt to scrap the plan, he said.

er has to bring fans back to a facility and a product (team) that are appealing to them. “They will let us know by attending or not attending games there,” he said. Kristen Rose, president of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees, did not return a message seeking comment left on her voicemail. Should the Triple-A franchise remain with the stadium authority, Mobley said operation of the

team would continue as long as league rules are adhered to. Another unresolved issue is the lawsuit filed by Luzerne County to claim a share of any sale proceeds. Each county paid $1 million to jointly buy the franchise in 1986. Luzerne County’s suit seeks half of the $14.6 million and also challenges Lackawanna County’s decision to negotiate a sale without an independent appraisal and Luzerne County’s consent.

Teresa A. McDade March 29, 2012

eresa Alice McDade went to her home in Heaven, Thursday, March 29, 2012. We know this because Mom truly believed the scripture John 3:16; “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall never perish but have eternal life.” Teresa was a daughter of the late James and Frances Bimler Brewster. She was born October 8, 1926, in Mauch Chunk, Jim Thorpe. Teresa was raised in Wilkes-Barre, graduated from Meyers High School and Wilkes-Barre Business School. She lived in Pittston Township the last 50 years. Her siblings, whom she loved dearly, are Dot, Helene, James and Fay, all deceased, and Nancy O’Kane of Burke, Va. Teresa has eight children, whom she always made feel like the most loved children on earth. They are Maureen and Jim Longoria, San Antonio, Texas; Judith and Martin (deceased) Jordan, Pittston Township; Donna and Joe Slakis, West Wyoming; Edward, Forty Fort; William, Keith (deceased), Matthew and Rose, Brian and Cheryl, all of Pittston Township. As much as she loved her children, none were more loved than her 14 grandchildren and five greatgrandchildren. She called them all her “Sweethearts.” They are Jill,

Jenna, Jared and Jessica (deceased) Longoria; Patrick, Martin and Kelly Jordan; Eric McDade; Matthew, Frank and Danielle McDade; and Brian, Michael and Jason McDade. Also, Joshua, Juan, Lilly and Ella. Nana’s fifth great-grandchild is on the way. Mom also loved her dog, “Sweetie.” Our family would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the guests, aides, nurses and staff of Highland Manor, Exeter, who showed such loving kindness and care to our Mom and Nana. Only God can adequately repay you. We will be forever grateful to all of you. In keeping with Mom’s wishes there will be no calling hours. The burial will be at the family’s discretion. To honor our beloved Mom and Nana, we will have a family gathering to “Celebrate Her Life.”

Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conviction upheld

Jason Richard Mitchell, 37, was convicted in 2006 of injuring son by shaking him. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A man convicted of severely injuring his then-2-month-old son by shaking him violently should not have his conviction and five-to-10-year prison sentence vacated based on claims of ineffective counsel at the time of his May 2006 trial, the state Superior Court ruled. In recently filed papers, the court upheld the rulings of Senior Judge Chester Muroski, who denied the requests of Jason Richard Mitchell, 37.Mitchell, through his attorney, requested a new trial in the case in which he was charged in September 2003 with shaking his infant son, Joshua, so violently the infant was bruised in several places and his

brain bled and swelled. The infant suffered a stroke and was left with severe and permanent vision and neurological problems, prosecutors said. Mitchell was convicted of aggravated assault, simple assault and reckless endangerment after a jury trial, and sentenced two months later to five to 10 years in prison by Muroski. Mitchell appealed his case to the state Superior Court, which upheld his sentence in June 2008. In September 2008, Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeal to the state Supreme Court was denied three months later. A year later, Mitchell filed his original Post Conviction Relief Act, in which he argued his attorney at the time of his trial, R. Bruce Manchester, failed to present an â&#x20AC;&#x153;identity defenseâ&#x20AC;? on behalf of Mitchell because Manchester represented both Mitchell and his wife, Louise. To introduce that evidence,

court papers say, Manchester would have had to implicate Louise in the case. Mitchell also argued Manchester did not present evidence of his good character as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;non-violent, peaceable person.â&#x20AC;? For those reasons, Mitchell said, he should be given a new trial, which Muroski denied in May 2011. That denial led to the most recent appeal to the state Superior Court, which upheld Muroskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling. The high court said Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;identity defenseâ&#x20AC;? is meritless because all evidence in the case suggested Mitchell was the perpetrator of the crime, not his wife. The court also said in its filing that Mitchell never brought to his lawyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention that he had witnesses who would testify to his good character, and that prosecutors alleged Mitchell shook the child out of frustration, rather than any â&#x20AC;&#x153;violent predisposition.â&#x20AC;?

Homicide suspectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorneys seek more time By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Attorneys for a city man charged with shooting and killing his girlfriend after an argument in December said Tuesday they do not expect to delay a June trial date, but asked for more time to file court papers. Attorney William Ruzzo said he and attorneys John Donovan and Danielle Bruno had just received the remainder of evidence in the case involving their client, Stanley Davis, 45, who was charged with shooting and killing Carlotta Springer-Howard inside their Sterling Street residence on Dec. 16. Davis is scheduled to stand trial on homicide and a firearms charge beginning with jury selection on June 11. Judge Fred Pierantoni said he would give the defense attorneys an extra 14 days to file any requests and that a hearing on those requests would be held May 14.

Assistant District Attorneys Jarrett Ferentino and Thomas Hogans are prosecuting the case. City police allege Davis and Springer-Howard were arguing before he picked up a shotgun and fired it in front of her 18-yearold son, Fred Lassiter. Her two younger children also were in the apartment. Davis was captured when he was stopped driving a van on Academy Street minutes later. Springer-Howard died at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital of a gunshot wound to the chest. Lassiter testified at a preliminary hearing that his mother and Davis were arguing for several

hours about her making phone calls to another man. At one point, Lassiter said, Davis left the apartment but later returned. Lassiter said he was sitting next to his mother on a couch when she leaned toward him and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If anything happens to me, everything in this house goes to you.â&#x20AC;? The argument continued in a second-floor bedroom, where Lassiter said his mother told him, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know what he got,â&#x20AC;? referring to a sawed-off shotgun. City police Detective Ralph Elick said Davis admitted to the shooting, giving four different descriptions of how it happened.

Editorial

OUR OPINION: ETHICS CODE

Council should stick to intentions

EMBERS OF THE startup Luzerne County Council recently signaled their intent to water down a proposed ethics code, something they – with ample prodding from the public – should reconsider. After all, voters were sold on the home rule-style government that spawned this council in part by the promise of higher ethical standards, a perceived antidote to this region’s widespread trouble with selfserving and corrupt elected officials. The home rule charter spelled out the creation of a government watchdog group and implied it would have substantial enforcement teeth, not merely a bothersome bark. Why would the 11 council members go wishy-washy on ethical codes when this experiment is barely four months old? Why lower the bar before anyone has ever been expected to clear it? Of particular concern is a stipulation in the proposed ethics code that aims to discourage council members from violating the charter by tinkering in the county’s day-to-day operations – a realm specifically reserved for the county manager. The code calls for any council member who strays where he or she doesn’t belong to be temporarily banned from voting. During a work session Monday, however, the council reportedly agreed to drop this clause from its ethics code. If so, it would be an ill-advised move and one that seemingly runs contrary to the in-

tentions of voters who wanted more – not fewer – assurances that their representatives in county government consistently would play by the rules. Council isn’t expected to finalize wording of its ethics code until later this month. Before then, concerned residents should speak up. In order for home rule to work as designed, and to discourage Luzerne County Council members from exerting undue influence on county workers and activities, those members must keep their noses out of everyday operations. It’s one of the charter’s chief conditions. A temporary voting ban for proven violators is a strict yet sensible sanction. Instead, council members apparently agreed that a nominal fine of $100, for first offense, and a public censure would serve as sufficient deterrents. Fat chance. If shame alone were enough to get public officials to strive for the highest of ethical standards, this editorial would cause council to immediately reverse its position on the proposed code. And if its members don’t realize the folly of that wishful thinking, shame on them.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “I would warn voters to never put their faith wholly in an individual politician, because a politician will disappoint you.” Sarah Palin The former Republican vice presidential contender, who appeared Tuesday as a guest co-host on NBC’s “Today,” answered questions about this year’s presidential race. She urged people to forgo blind loyalty “but have faith in what that politician stands for, what their record represents.”

Lawyers fund can help victims of malfeasance

lients of Anthony J. Lupas Jr. who in fact sustained financial loss through his alleged wrongdoing may each receive up to $100,000 in compensation from the Pennsylvania Lawyers Fund for Client Security. The fund was established in 1982 by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to reimburse clients who suffered a loss as a result of misappropriation of funds by their lawyers. The claim must be based on an attorneyclient relationship or fiduciary relationship customary to the practice of law. The fund has no jurisdiction over claims involving malpractice, ineffective representation or disputes over fees. Any client who believes his or her lawyer has misappropriated funds can file a complaint with the fund at P.O. Box 62585, Harrisburg, PA 17120-0901. Claim forms, as well as information about the fund, are available at this website: www.palawfund.com. Or call 1-800-962-4618. While it is not necessary to retain a lawyer to file a claim, one might wish to do so since the Pennsylvania Rules of Disciplinary Enforcement prohibits lawyers from charging a fee for assisting a claimant with filing a claim without prior approval of the board of the fund, and the board has adopted a policy that fees will be approved only for exceptional circumstances.

OTHER OPINION: SAFETY LAW

Drivers, cyclists must share road

NEW STATE law kicked in just in time for the season when cyclists take to the road in ideal conditions. It should serve as a guide for those on bicycles as well as those behind the wheel of cars, trucks and vans. Effective Monday, Pennsylvania’s new bike safety law requires motorists to leave a 4foot cushion when passing a bicyclist. Drivers on two-lane roads are permitted to cross the center line in order to do so but, obviously, only if there is no oncoming traffic. If they cannot pass without coming too close to the cyclists, motorists must wait. EDITORIAL BOARD

The measure also prohibits motorists from cutting sharply into the path of cyclists when turning. For cyclists, the law requires them to avoid impeding the flow of traffic whenever possible. That means using the right-hand lane and staying as close as possible to the curb or edge of road when they can do so safely. Violations of the new law carry a $25 fine, but the real value of the measure is that it clearly states the responsibilities of cyclists and motorists for sharing Pennsylvania roads.

Mike Carroll for supporting the library’s bid for a $30,000 grant from the Department of Education’s Keystone Recreation, Park and Conservation Fund. We also thank Beth Bisbano, Office of Commonwealth Libraries’ library development adviser, for her assistance. The funding will be used for library renovations that will include the creation of senior citizen study space, new carpeting, lighting and other needed repairs. Both Sen. Yudichak and Rep. Carroll have been ardent supporters of the Pittston Memorial Library, and for that, we have been truly grateful. We are honored that they recognize the library’s value to the community and its commitment to its patrons.

Downtown association appreciative of Boscov

he Boscov’s Department Store in downtown Wilkes-Barre is to get a face-lift, and that is great news. Bravo, Mr. Al Boscov, for believing in Wilkes-Barre. We have a great asset in your store. It has been here through the good and the not so good. In these times of conservative corporate spending, it is encouraging to see a company willing to invest in the city and the people of Wilkes-Barre. Our members frequently use your store. When going for a walk, I automatically take a detour through Boscov’s (and I don’t often leave empty-handed). You and your staff are to be commended for your diligence to the city and especially to the residents of the downtown area. Thank you for your years of support.

Drilling seen as boon, not burden, for taxpayers

s a Luzerne County resident, I read with alarm state Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski’s recent commentary (“Weak impact fee on drilling could impact your wallet,” March 26), especially when he called Act 13 a wasted opportunity, before complaining about how our county, with no drilling whatsoever, will be victimized by the industry. His remarks seemed more like a concession to the Gas Drilling Awareness Coalition than anything. Where are the facts to back up his assertions? What taxpayers will feel it? Well, Pashinski doesn’t say. The natural gas industry has been developing the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania for more than four years, and the facts yield a much different perspective. Natural

DOONESBURY

gas operators, for example, seek no tax breaks, subsidies or incentives from Pennsylvania to develop the Marcellus Shale. Therefore, they are not a drain on Pennsylvania taxpayers, but rather a huge boon. Some examples from recent studies include: During 2010, the Pennsylvania Marcellus Shale natural gas industry triggered $11.2 billion in economic activity, generated $1.1 billion in state and local taxes and supported nearly 140,000 jobs. As a result of Pennsylvania Marcellus production, residential electricity and natural gas bills across the commonwealth are $245.1 million lower ($217.4 million from lower natural gas bills and another $27.7 million from lower electricity bills). In 2010 alone, natural gas companies paid more than $1.6 billion in lease and bonus payments to Pennsylvania landowners. Low unemployment is another way the industry has contributed to the Pennsylvania economy. Thousands of individuals, me included, now have steady, high-paying jobs, with benefits and retirement plans. From the state’s perspective, this means more sales tax, corporate tax and personal income tax revenues. It also means fewer social services that definitely burden Pennsylvania taxpayers. Bradford and Susquehanna counties added 3,600 jobs over the last four years due to natural gas, and you can bet Luzerne County workers received some much-appreciated jobs as well. All in all, the Marcellus Shale is responsible for employing more than 229,000 individuals, almost 2 percent of the commonwealth’s population. William F. desRosiers Harveys Lake

‘Hunger Games’ receives writer’s two-thumbs up

read “Weekender” correspondent Pete Croatto’s movie review of “The Hunger Games.” I agree with his positive assessment of the film, particularly, that it is a “thoughtful bracing adventure” without the sex and gross violence. It is a movie that should be seen by people of all ages and genders. I recommend it highly and hope many go to see this superb movie. As for me, I am well into the “boomer” range. The film runs the gamut of human emotion from tender love to outrage. Its main character, Katniss Everdeen, plays a modest and reluctant hero who morphs into a strong female protagonist by getting the gumption to get the job done in her own fashion, rather than that set by game (government) rules. I was riveted in my seat, watching and pulling for her eventual triumph – in her fashion. My next move: Read Suzanne Collins’ book to experience it again. George Below Wilkes-Barre

Perfection: Baylor tops N.D. for crown

By DOUG FEINBERG AP Basketball Writer

DENVER (AP) — Brittney Griner came up big for Baylor, scoring 26 points and grabbing 13 rebounds to help the Lady Bears finish off an undefeated season with an 80-61 win over Notre Dame in the national championship game Tuesday night. Baylor became the first team in NCAA history to win 40 games. Even more important to the Lady Bears, the team cut

down the nets for the first time since 2005. For the Fighting Irish (35-4), a second straight trip to the title game ended in heartbreak. They

lost 76-70 to Texas A&M last season. Odyssey Sims chipped in 19 for the Bears, while Destiny Williams added 12. The Irish cut a sizable deficit to three points early in the second half, only to have Devereaux Peters called for an illegal screen, which was her fourth foul. With Peters on the bench, the Bears built their lead back up by dumping the ball into the 6foot-8 Griner, who showed off her wide array of shots as she arched hooks and jumpers over

the smaller Irish players. From there, the Bears went on a 33-11 run to seal the title. Griner scored 17 of her points in the second half, even with two, sometimes three, defenders hounding her at all times. Notre Dame was led in scoring by Skylar Diggins, who had 20 points. Natalie Novosel, one of the top Irish scorers, had a rough night. She finished 0 of 11 with five points. The teams met in the preseason WNIT final on Nov. 17, with the Lady Bears winning in Waco,

Texas, 94-81behind Griner’s gem of a game when the junior center scored 32 points, grabbed 14 rebounds and blocked five shots. This time, the stakes were much higher — and Griner responded again. All season long, both Baylor and Notre Dame have focused on the slogan “Unfinished Business.” Griner & Co. even have wristbands with the phrase on it. Coach Kim Mulkey said the team used the same motto the year the Lady Bears won their only championship.

NEW ORLEANS — The running joke all season was that Kentucky was good enough to beat some NBA teams. Say, maybe the Toronto Raptors. Farfetched? Probably. But with that stable of pros-in-waiting, one thing seemed certain: The Wildcats were the team to beat in college basketball. Capping a season that had a feeling of inevitability, Kentucky finished with a flourish, beating Kansas 67-59 in the NCAA championship game Monday night. OK, so maybe it was the last time we’ll see many of those future millionaires in blue and white. At least they’ll go out as heroes after bringing home an eighth national championship to Big Blue and giving John Calipari the one missing piece to his resume. “We were the best team,” Calipari said. “I wanted this to be one for the ages.” Calipari has had a knack for luring the nation’s best recruits to Lexington, never worrying about whether they’d stick around.

Broken stick on faceoff breaks bid to stop Norfolk Admirals’ league-record winning streak.

NORFOLK, Va. – For want of a stick, a game was lost, a streak maintained. The stick belonged to Cal O’Reilly, and it was broken and disgarded when he lost a thirdperiod faceoff to Norfolk’s Tyler Johnson to start a power play Tuesday in Scope Arena. Without it, O’Reilly faced Mark Barberio between the faceoff circles, while Richard Panik and MiADMIRALS chel Ouellet jockeyed for position in Pens’ goalie Scott PENGUINS Munroe’s face. Barberio’s shot was true, giving Norfolk a 2-1 win, its 23rd in a row, a North American professional hockey record by five games. “I saw the shot off his stick,” Munroe said, then shrugged. The next time he saw the puck, it was in the net with a red light on overhead. Brian Lerg scored in the second period for the Pens, who went away from Virginia not at all dismayed. “We didn’t even talk about the streak,” Pens coach John Hynes said. “It was more about playing a certain way, about going into the playoffs and making sure we do the right things. We just wanted to play our game and give ourselves a chance to win tonight.” It was a radical departure from the way the Pens played the last time they were in town, on March 14, when they became the 16th victim in this improbable streak. “This was 180 degrees,” said Lerg, who tipped in Alex Grant’s shot from the blue line to tie things at 1-1 in the second period. “I liked our game tonight. Losing aside, we’ll take this game.” It’s as though the first two periods were played with mirrors, albeit with little smoke. Norfolk had only two shots in the first 17:30 of the first period.

Angry Greco’s hit completes NW comeback

By JOHN MEDEIROS jmedeiros@timesleader.com

SHICKSHINNY – Do not make Northwest’s Sara Greco mad. Lake-Lehman learned what can happen if you upset the Rangers’ first baseman. Greco had three hits, including the game-winner in the eighth inning of Northwest’s 6-5 win over the Black Knights in

high school softball TuesNORTHWEST day. “My first atbat I struck out, and that LEHMAN got me mad,” Greco said. “After that, I was in a zone. I just saw the ball real well.” Maranda Koehn led off the bottom of the eighth with a sin-

gle to left, and Taylor Perlis bunted the next pitch toward shortstop for a single. Greco lined a 3-1 pitch into center to complete a Northwest comeback. “It felt good when I saw that ball get into the outfield,” Greco said. “But I didn’t even realize that Maranda was still running. I saw the throw go home and it was up the line, and Maranda

scored the winning run.” Lake-Lehman put two runners on in the top of the eighth, but went down 1-2-3 in the inning. Tiff Oplinger (singled) and Korri Wandell (walk) reached first, but were thrown out at second by catcher Oliva McCorkel trying to steal their way into scoring position. See NORTHWEST, Page 3B

Norman’s voice of experience helps McIlroy overcome failure By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland watches his tee shot on the fourth hole during a practice round for the Masters golf tournament Tuesday in Augusta, Ga.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — In the aftermath of his Masters meltdown, one phone call that meant the most to Rory McIlroy was from Greg Norman, the master of the Sunday collapse at Augusta National. Norman had four good chances to slip on a green jacket, the most unforgettable in 1996 when he blew a six-shot lead to Nick Faldo. So the Shark could speak from experience, and the kid was more than willing to listen. “I think it was great coming from him See MCILROY, Page 3B

because he had sort of been in the same position in 1996 — well, ’96 where Faldo won, but I think ’86 as well, 1987,” McIlroy said, pausing to try to get the years right. “Sorry, I wasn’t born.” It’s that kind of humor that has helped McIlroy move on — that and the U.S. Open title he won a few months later. Still fresh this week for the 22-year-old from Northern Ireland is how he lost a four-shot lead in the final round. There was the tee shot on the 10th hole that

Three divisions of the Bobby Weiss Series headlines tonight’s fourteen race slate, with the ladies carrying the banner. Gottaseeaboutagirl is certainly a standout in this series and looks very stout in the twelfth. The three-year old daughter of Western Terror was never better in winning the Night Styles Final at the Meadowlands, on March 23. In that race driver David Miller guided the lightly raced filly to a perfect second-over trip, she rocketed off cover to win going away in a career best mile of 1:51.3. She looms as a solid favorite this evening and I see no reason why the Bob Rice trainee doesn’t take down her fifth victory of 2012. BEST BET: BANK PRESIDENT (11TH) VALUE PLAY: ALL STAR PLAYER (5TH)

bounced around the trees and landed behind the cabins left of the fairway — way left. There was a three-putt on the 11th, a four-putt on the 12th and eventually an 80 on his scorecard. “Obviously, the first time I played the back nine last week, there’s memories that come back and memories that you probably don’t want,” McIlroy said. “It’s fine. I got that all out of the way, and just looking forward to this week and looking forward to try to put myself in contention to try and win this thing.” Norman’s first big opportunity was in 1986, the year he had the 54-hole lead at all four majors. He sent a 4-iron over the 18th green in the final round, and his bogey made Jack Nicklaus a Masters champion for the sixth time. Norman won the British Open that summer, spent the better part of the next decade at No. 1 in the world and became a perennial favorite at the majors. That’s where McIlroy is now. He won with a record score at Congressional for his first major. He rose to No. 1 in the world last

“Olivia is so important to us,” Greco said. “I told her a bunch of times she was so good today. She saved the game with those throws. Without those, I probably wouldn’t have even had a chance to bat for the game-winning hit.” Northwest tied the game in the bottom of the seventh with hits from Jaden Perrillo and Kate Agnello to start the inning. Rachel Linso lofted a sacrifice fly to center to move Perrillo to third, and Maggie Murphy’s third RBI of the day came on a sac fly to right to score Perrillo. Lake-Lehman opened the scoring with a two-run homer well over the fence in left by Tiff Oplinger. The Black Knights added a run in the third on a single by Vickey Cadwalder and a double by Lacey Miller that scored runner Kendra Stine. “Our hitting was definitely clutch,” Lake-Lehman coach Wayne Oplinger said. “We had some key two-out hits. They had timely hits, we had timely hits. We just came up on the short end.” Down 3-1, Northwest answer-

King’s scored five times in the ninth inning, but still couldn’t overcome a big deficit. Chris Sweeney led the Monarchs with a 3-for-4 performance, including his sixth home run of the season.

month, though only for two weeks, when he won the Honda Classic. And, like Norman, he still doesn’t have a green jacket. But he’s young. He’s super talented. And he copes with success and failure with a refreshing dose of self-deprecating humor and raw honesty. He is comfortable with his game and who he is, and he’s not interested in comparisons with anyone but himself. Even Tiger Woods. “It’s nice to be getting all this praise and everything, but you have to take it with a pinch of salt,” McIlroy said. “I definitely don’t have the achievements that Tiger has or nowhere near the level of success that he’s had over the last 15 years. But hopefully, I can one day even get close to that point.” Woods had never played with McIlroy until a practice round at Abu Dhabi to start the season. He knew enough about Boy Wonder, however, and while Woods wasn’t at Congressional last summer, he was impressed by how someone so young could recover so quickly from a major disappointment. “He has all of makings of being a great champion for a long period of time,” Woods said. ed in the fourth. Murphy led off with a homer to left, followed by a walk earned by McCorkel and a triple to the right-field fence by Koehn. Greco’s single to right scored Koehn and Northwest led 4-3. “That was the big inning,” Greco said. “And Maggie’s home run got us going … a lot.” Linso fanned seven and scattered five hits in the win. Headman suffered a hard-luck loss despite allowing 11 hits. Six came after she was struck in the lower leg by a line drive off the bat of Greco in the sixth inning. “She said it just stung,” coach Opligner said. “It didn’t swell up on her. I had no reason to take her out. She’s our Roy Halladay or Cliff Lee.

Pasone won more than anyone at Meyers

By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

Getting your name etched on the wall of the Meyers wrestling room is quite an accomplishment. The program has such a storied history that anyone would be honored to be in the same breath as the great names associated with the wrestling team. Vito Pasone is the latest to complete an outstanding career for the Mohawks and is also The Times Leader Wrestler of the Year. Pasone finished his time at Meyers as the school’s all-time wins leader with 146 in his four-year career and he was a four-time District 2 Class 2A champion. As a senior, he ended his career last month with a runner-up showing at the PIAA Championships and a title at the

Northeast Regional Tournament. Just last weekend at the National High School Coaches Association Senior National Championships, he capped his accomplishments as a national champion and a four-time All-American. Overall during his high school career, he collected more than two dozen medals, including about half being of the gold kind. He’s now off to an undecided college where he could earn more hardware. “I wish him all the best. He’s obviously a great kid and a great role model,” Mohawks coach Ron Swingle said. “He’s a pleasure to coach and we as coaches were very privileged to have coached him.” The season didn’t go as planned for Pasone because he hit some rough patches

along the way early in the season with a three-match losing streak. But he regrouped and won 15 straight before settling for second at states. “There were times I didn’t think the season would play out the way I thought it would,” Pasone said. “It definitely did work out the way I hoped it would except that I wanted to place higher at states. But I can’t complain about it.” The Mohawk standout is one of just 24 wrestlers in District 2 history to win four district golds and his total of career wins is good for seventh all-time in district history. Those are great accomplishments considering millions have wrestled in the district over the last 75 years. But the one thing that

will stick with Pasone happened just last month after winning his state semifinal bout, a 3-0 win over Bedford’s Ryan Easter He raced to the back of the Giant Center in Hershey and was greeted by his coaches Swingle, Ron Swingle Sr., and Ryan Kittrick. “Coach (Ron) Swingle Sr. walked up to me and said ‘you’re there, you made it,’” Pasone said. “But the coaches also said ‘but you’re not satisfied yet are you?’ I wasn’t satisfied, but it was a great feeling because it was the big show. It was the big dance.” The lasting memory may not seem to be very significant, but for one of the most dressed wrestlers in district history, it’s the start of what could be many more accomplishments to come.

Andy Schutz

Wyoming Area Junior, 132 pounds He became the first three-time district champion in school history when he won the District 2 Class 2A title. After a third-place showing at the Northeast Regional Tournament, he qualified for the PIAA Championships for the first time; he also won a match at states.

With a crowd of 30,568 at Nationals Park, Boston took an 8-7 lead in the ninth on Jason Repko’s RBI double off reliever Henry Rodriguez, who hadn’t allowed a run in his previous 11 innings this spring. Repko, the center fielder, threw out Ian Desmond at the plate for the game’s final out. Alfredo Aceves, a candidate to replace the injured Andrew Bailey as Boston’s closer, pitched a scoreless eighth. Bailey will have reconstructive ligament surgery on his right thumb on Wednesday. Blue Jays 13, Tigers 8 DUNEDIN, Fla. — Detroit slugger Prince Fielder was on the move, stealing a base and then getting thrown out at the plate in the Tigers’ loss to Toronto. Fielder grounded into a forceout in the third inning. One out later, the burly slugger stole second for his first spring training swipe since 2008. Jhonny Peralta later singled and Fielder tried to score, but was easily nailed by left fielder Eric Thames. Thames homered off Tigers starter Max Scherzer, who was charged with nine runs and 11 hits in 4 1-3 innings. Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run homer in the Detroit first. Danny Worth homered off Kyle Drabek in the Tigers seventh. Rays 6, Twins 2 FORT MYERS, Fla. — Reid Brignac went 2 for 2 with an RBI double in Tampa Bay’s win over Minnesota. Brignac raised his batting average for the spring to .333 after hitting a miserable .193 last year. He has been competing with Sean Rodriguez for a starting spot at shortstop. Both of Brignac’s hits came off of Twins starter Liam Hendriks, who is getting ready to begin the season in Minnesota’s rotation while Scott Baker and Jason Marquis catch up after missing time this spring. Jeremy Hellickson, the American League Rookie of the Year last season, gave up two runs on six hits through four innings to lower his ERA to 9.00. Mets 7, Yankees 6 PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Ike Davis hit a tiebreaking home run off Mark Montgomery with one out in the ninth inning, giving the Mets a victory over the Yankees in the first spring training game between the New York rivals since since 1996. Yankees starter Ivan Nova struggled with his fastball location and gave up five runs, eight hits and two walks in 2 2-3 innings. His ERA rose to 8.06. Mets starter Mike Pelfrey allowed one run and two hits in four innings with no walks and five strikeouts, lowering his ERA from 8.59 to 7.62. Cubs 5, Brewers (ss) 3 MESA, Ariz. — Starlin Castro hit a two-run homer in the first inning off minor leaguer Kyle Heckathorn, and the Cubs beat a Milwaukee split squad. Castro’s homer went off the scoreboard in left field. He was replaced later by Alfredo Amezaga, who homered off Heckathorn leading off the fifth. Scooter Gennett had three hits for the Brewers, including a run-scoring double.

Rangers clinch top seed in East The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Ryan Callahan and Artem Anisimov scored as part of a four-goal first period, and the New York Rangers clinched the top seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs for the first time since 1994 with a 5-3 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night. The Rangers are tops in the East for the first time since Mark Messier led them to their last Stanley Cup championship 18 years ago. The Rangers, who lead the overall NHL standings with 109 points, are assured of home-ice advantage until at least the Stanley Cup finals. The Rangers are atop the East thanks to a stunning series sweep of the Atlantic Division-rival Flyers. They went 6-0 against Philadelphia for the first time in 40 years. Ryan McDonagh and Brian Boyle also scored to help the Rangers storm to a 4-0 lead. Marian Gaborik added his 41st goal, and Henrik Lundqvist earned his career-best 39th victory. Devils 3, Islanders 1

MIAMI — LeBron James scored a season-high 41 points, Mario Chalmers added 19 and the Miami Heat clinched a playoff spot with a 99-93 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night. James scored 14 straight Miami points in the fourth quarter, helping the Heat finish off a four-game season sweep of Philadelphia and extend their home-court winning streak to 16 games. Chris Bosh scored 17 points and Udonis Haslem grabbed 11 rebounds for Miami, which won despite Dwyane Wade sitting out with a bruised left knee. Evan Turner scored 26 points for Philadelphia, which fell 1½ games behind Boston in the Atlantic Division. Lou Williams scored 18, Spencer Hawes added 12 and Andre Iguodala had 11 before leaving in the third quarter with a left eye contusion. Spurs 125, Cavaliers 90 CLEVELAND — Danny Green scored 19 points against a Cleveland team that released him last season, Tony Parker added 19 and the San Antonio Spurs coasted to their eighth straight win.

fast-tracked Wildcats raced past nearly everyone who got in their way. Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Doron Lamb, Darius Miller, Terrence Jones, Marquis Teague — Coach Cal had a team of ringers and he, along with everyone else, knew it. Who’s No. 2 seemed to be the only question left. Kentucky lost just twice during the season: on a buzzer-beater by Indiana and to Vanderbilt in the SEC tournament in New Orleans, where Commodores big man Festus Ezeli pushed the Wildcats around. The Vandy loss seemed to serve the Wildcats well, giving them a not-so-subtle reminder they still have to play, that this was no divine-right coronation. The message clearly came through. Kentucky attacked its first four NCAA tournament opponents like a swarm of bees; swat one and the rest are coming after you. The Wildcats earned a return trip to the Big Easy by turning a highly hyped regional final against Baylor into a rout. Waiting for them was in-state rival, Louisville in the national semifinals.

game of it, thanks to some master manipulation by coach Rick Pitino, the former leader in Lexington who’d gone to the enemy, but Kentucky was just too deep, too talented. That set up a blue blood matchup with Kansas in Monday’s championship game. Save for a slight stumble near the finish — Kansas closed to within five after trailing by 18 — the Wildcats rolled to the title everyone said was theirs to lose. “They’re playing with pros,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. Davis rose up as the best of them all. The 6-foot-10 freshman with the pterodactyl wingspan and Lexington’s favorite eyebrows dominated in what may be his only season in college basketball. Shot-swatter, rim-rattler, jumpshooter, game-changer — Davis was the consensus player of the year, everyone’s pick to be the No. 1 overall choice in the NBA draft when he comes out. He took over the title game without making a shot until the last 5 minutes, a 1-for-10 performance that was nearly a perfect 10 on the rest of the stat line: 16 rebounds, six blocked shots to tie a title game record, three steals, enough intimidation to get the Jayhawks to chuck shots at the backboard so the ball wouldn’t get sent into the student section. “He is an unbelievable factor on both ends,” Self said.

PPL Electric Utilities seeking 2.9 percent increase By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

PPL Electric Utilities has asked the state Public Utility Commission to approve an annual revenue increase of about $104.6 million, or about 2.9 percent, for distribution service. The company cited an investment since the start of 2010 of nearly $1 billion in its distribution system as the chief factor

driving the request. In addition to the distribution system upgrades, the company said costs associated with the major storm damage in 2011, including several flood events, played a role in its decision. If approved, the requested increase would likely take effect Jan. 1, after investigation and review by the commission. The Allentown-based utility said that even with the proposed increase

B R I E F

for distribution service, the total electric bill for customers receiving generation service from PPL Electric Utilities (based on today’s generation prices) is expected to be lower in 2013 than it was in January 2010. This is due to the steady decline in generation rates, which make up twothirds of the total bill. The company projects that small- to medium-sized commercial and industrial customers

would be paying about 1 percent more than they were in January 2010. Based on the average monthly residential usage, using the requested rate hike, a customer’s bill will be $118.59 in January 2013. The average current bill is $111.60 and on Jan.1, 2010, the average bill was $137.34. Irwin “Sonny” Popowski, the state’s Consumer Advocate, said his office will likely file a com-

plaint with the PUC and that will trigger an investigation that will include public hearings throughout the PPL coverage area to give the public a chance to comment on the request. “It’s certainly true they’ve spent money to improve their system,” Popowski said. But what needs to be determined “is what’s a fair rate of return.” “I certainly understand what they’re seeking the increase,”

U.S. auto sales surge By DEE-ANN DURBIN AP Auto Writer

ETROIT — Appealing small cars, low interest rates, truck deals and unseasonably warm weather helped the auto industry achieve its best monthly performance in almost four years in March. General Motors said Tuesday that its U.S. sales rose 12 percent compared with last March on solid demand for cars and small crossovers that achieve 30 miles per gallon or better on the highway. Chrysler Group’s sales jumped 34 percent as buyers went for Fiat small cars and Chrysler sedans. Toyota said sales were up 15 percent, with sales of the Prius hybrid climbing 54 percent for the month. Sales at Ford rose 5 percent as demand for the Focus small car rose sharply.

The dollar rose sharply against the euro Tuesday after the Federal Reserve appeared less likely to launch another round of bond-buying to help the economy. In minutes from the Fed’s March meeting, policymakers said they believed the economy is improving. Some members were concerned that gains in the job market could fade, but only two said more economic stimulus was needed.

PHILADELPHIA — Pennsylvania’s 11 casinos pulled in more than $233.1 million in gross slot machine revenue last month, setting an all-time monthly high since the state’s first casino opened in November 2006 and showing further evidence of its growing gambling market. The slots totals released Tuesday include revenue from two test nights and one day of operations at the state’s 11th casino, Valley Forge Casino Resort, which opened on Saturday. Overall, the figures broke the previous monthly record of $218.3 million set in July, and they represent an 8.5 percent increase over March 2011. “Virtually every jurisdiction in the country would kill for that kind of growth, especially in a sluggish economy,” said Joe Weinert, senior vice president of Spectrum Gaming Group, a New Jersey casino consulting firm, who called the state the “envy of the casino industry.” Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, the first casino to open in Pennsylvania, took in $21.3 million in slot revenue in March, a 5.7 percent increase from a year earlier. Mount Airy Casino Resort near Mount Pocono showed a larger percentage increase of 10.2 percent, to $13.5 million. When slots and table game revenues are combined, Pennsylvania has surpassed New Jersey and grown into the second-largest casino market in the country behind Nevada, Weinert said. The two traded places in July, Weinert said, and, by January, Pennsylvania had grown into a $3.66 billion market, compared to a $3.3 billion market for New Jersey. The numbers also show evidence of the increasing competition. Harrah’s Chester Casino and Racetrack, which is just outside Philadelphia, was up less than a percent over the year before, as it faces competition from SugarHouse Casino in Philadelphia, Parx Casino in Bensalem, casinos in neighboring states and now the new casino in Valley Forge. Valley Forge, a smaller “resort” casino expected to attract a more high-end clientele, brought in more than $500,000 in the three days recorded. SugarHouse posted a 25 percent increase over last March, while Parx saw an 8.7 percent spike.

AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER

Orders for manufactured goods rose 1.3 percent in February after sliding 1.1 percent in January, resulting in the third increase in four months, according to the Commerce Department. Durable goods, which are meant to last at least three years, remain some of the main muscle behind the delicate recovery and have seen new orders rise during four of the past five months.

Popowski said, but noted it’s the “level of profit they’re asking for which we would argue is excessive.” Jennifer R. Kocher, a PUC spokeswoman, said if a complaint is filed, the PUC will schedule public hearings in late spring or early summer and after its fact finding would be able to approve the request as presented, reject it wholly or approve a lower rate than requested.

parts of the U.S. buyers are leaning toward new fuel-efficient compacts like the Chevrolet Cruze and sub-compacts such as the Honda Fit to save money. Also, incentives on trucks are good enough to lure buyers who want something bigger. Ford said sales of the F-series pickup, the nation’s best-selling vehicle, rose 9 percent. Industry analysts say sales could run at an annual rate of14.1 million to 14.5 million vehicles, continuing the strong performance in January and February. GM said compact and subcompact car sales were up a combined 62 percent thanks to the new Chevrolet Sonic subcompact. GM sold 8,251 Sonics in March. Sales of the Chevrolet Cruze small car were up 20 percent. Ford said it had its best March since 2007. Focus sales were up 65 percent compared to last

March. But that came at a price. Sales of the Fiesta subcompact fell 34 percent as buyers flocked to the newer and bigger Focus. Chrysler had its best month in four years. Fiat sales hit 3,712, compared to just 500 last March when the Fiat 500 subcompact was first on the market. The Fiat 500 is growing in popularity as new dealerships open and fuel prices rise. Sales of Chrysler’s 200 and 300 sedans each doubled over last March. Both cars have recently been revamped and have better fuel economy than previous models, which is attracting new buyers. Jeep brand sales rose 36 percent on the strength of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. March saw more growth in loans to subprime buyers, which boosted sales. GM said 9.5 percent of its buyers were subprime in March, compared with 6.1 percent in all of 2011.

The air is very dry across the region right now. That’s why the National Weather Service has issued a Fire Weather Watch for Northeastern Pa. A breezy northwest wind (15 to 20 mph), sunshine and very low humidity makes conditions favorable for ﬁres to spread rapidly. It is not a good idea to burn anything outdoors today. One spark is all it takes to start a brush ﬁre. Grab the sunglasses today as you head out the door; you will need them. Sunshine will fill a blue sky today as the temperature climbs into the lower 60s. Tonight will be clear and cold with a low of 42 degrees. - Kurt Aaron

Mini bundts a perfect end to Easter meal

I’ve always loved orange and chocolate, and this mini bundt cake combines those flavors into a wonderfully light dessert that’s ideal for your Easter dinner table. Properly whipping the eggs and folding gently into the batter will create the desired airy sponge consistency. A topping of Grand Marnier Chocolate Glaze is a perfect finish. •••

MINI ORANGE SPONGE BUNDT CAKES Cake: 1 and 1⁄3 cups flour 1 and 1⁄3 cups sugar 1 ⁄4 teaspoon salt 6 large eggs, separated 1 ⁄2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice Zest of 1 medium orange 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier (orange liqueur) 3 ⁄4 teaspoon cream of tartar Separate eggs and let whites stand for approximately half an hour at room temperature. Sift flour, 1⁄3 cup of sugar and salt together and set aside. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks on high speed until they become lemony in color and develop a pudding-like consistency, approx 4 to 5 minutes. Slowly beat in 2/3 cups of sugar, then beat in orange juice, orange zest and Grand Marnier and continue to beat until creamy (2 to 3 minutes). Slowly beat in the sifted flour mixture until well mixed. In a separate bowl, add cream of tartar to the egg whites and beat on medium until peaks begin to form. Very slowly, add in and continue to mix the remaining 1/3 cup of sugar on high speed until peaks become stiff. Gently fold this mixture into your cake batter. Spoon mixture into ungreased Mini Bundt Pans (you also can use large muffin or cupcake tins). The recipe makes approximately 12 mini bundt cakes. Bake in 350-degree oven for approximately 20 to 25 minutes or until cake springs back when touched. Invert pans onto cooling rack. When cool, run a knife around the edges of the cakes, and they should come out easily. Place onto serving plates and top with chocolate glaze. Chocolate glaze: 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped (you may substitute chocolate chips) 1 ⁄2 cup heavy cream 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier Heat heavy cream and butter in a pan until warm. Remove from heat and slowly whisk in chocolate until completely melted. Whisk in Grand Marnier until smooth. Ladle chocolate mixture over cakes. Best when served within two hours of glazing.

Children are sure to flock to these chocolate nests By ALISON LADMAN For The Associated Press

ou’ll have no trouble enticing the kids to get involved in this easy and tasty part of Easter

dinner prep. We’ve combined a blend of crunchy cereals and noodles with a deliciously sticky blend of chocolate, marshmallow and peanut butter to create edible “nests” in which the little ones can store their chocolate eggs and jelly beans (assuming those treats stick around long enough to be stored). The process is simple — just melt together the butter, marshmallows, peanut butter and chocolate, then stir in the dry ingredients. After that, let the children set to work shaping their nests.

Just note — this is a messy project. So you might want to do it before the kids get into their Easter best. Also, to make it a little less messy, lightly coat the kids’ (or your) hands with cooking spray. The finished nests can be stored in plastic bags at room temperature for up to a week. •••

CHOCOLATE BUNNY NESTS Start to finish: 20 minutes (plus cooling time) Makes 20 small nests 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 10-ounce package mini marshmallows 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter 6 ounces semisweet chocolate bits 2 cups thin chow mein noodles 1 1/2 cups square corn cereal, such as Corn Chex 2 cups crispy rice cereal, such as Rice Krispies Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows, peanut butter and chocolate bits. Stir continuously until completely melted and blended. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chow mein noodles, corn cereal and rice cereal. Allow the mixture to cool until safe to handle. For small nests, scoop by the tablespoonful onto the prepared baking sheet. For larger nests, use about See NESTS, Page 2C

Lamb stars as season’s symbol By BILL DALEY Chicago Tribune

Christians often celebrate Easter on different Sundays, as is the case again this year, because of differences in how the date is determined by the Eastern and Western churches. Whether it be April 8 (West) or April 15 (East), there’s agreement that lamb is one of the most symbolic dishes you can place on the Easter table. The lamb is closely identified with Jesus, whose resurrection is celebrated on Easter by believers. On one hand, Jesus is the “Good Shepherd” leading the flock to safety. He is also the “lamb of God” whose death takes away “the sins of the world.” “At Easter, the reference is to the selfsacrifice of Jesus,” says Katerina Katsar-

has written five books with religious or biblical themes. So strong is that symbolism at Easter, the lamb can appear in many other edible forms besides meat. There’s the butter shaped like the Easter lamb in Poland. In France, there’s the agneau pascal, a lamb cake dusted with powdered sugar, while the Czechs bake a lamb-shaped cake called a baranek and decorate it with frosting or glazes. The lamb symbolizes innocence, inMCT PHOTO telligence and obedience for the Rev. Lamb is one of the most symbolic dishes Leo Patalinghug, who is starring in a you can place on the table at Easter. new 13-week cooking series called “Saka Whitley, author of “Around a Greek voring Our Faith” on the EWTN Global Table: Recipes & Stories Arranged Ac- Catholic Network. Yet, lambs are still slaughtered for cording to the Liturgical Seasons of the Eastern Church” (Globe Pequot, $19.95). A resident of Vilas, N.C., she See LAMB, Page 2C

Get crackin’: Cookies sure to please By JOE GRAY Chicago Tribune

Millions of kids will dunk many more millions of hard-cooked eggs in dye this Easter season (the venerable Paas sells more than 10 million kits a year). But let’s be honest — nobody eats those eggs, especially kids. It strikes us as a shame that after all the creative dipping, the kids wind up with chocolate bunnies and little malt eggs, instead of handcrafted treats. That’s what makes this project from “Cupcakes, Cookies & Pie, Oh, My!” (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, $17.95), by Karen Tack and Alan Richardson, so attractive. With a little help from mom or dad, kids can decorate eggs they can eat: the book’s eggs-tra special cookies.

food. That makes us feel sad because the lamb is “such a cute little thing,” says Patalinghug, a professor of pastoral theology at Mount St. Mary’s University in Emmitsburg, Md. That’s why the lamb is a symbol for Jesus to underscore the depth of the sacrifice. “There’s a tenderness to the lamb; it is the type of relationship God has with his people,” Patalinghug adds. Tenderness, of course, has a culinary meaning too. The Easter lamb of Greece is very young, fed with milk and wild herbs that delicately flavor the meat, says Whitley, who was born in Thessaloniki. “The shepherds bring them into the villages and towns just before Easter,” she writes. “According to Greek Orthodox tradition, no meat is eaten during the forty days of Lent by the observant. So the lambs are ready, and the people are ready for them.” •••

OVEN-BAKED LAMB WITH POTATOES Prep: 15 minutes Cook: 2 hours Makes: 8 servings This is the traditional Easter meal of Katerina Katsarka Whitley’s childhood, she writes in “Around a Greek Table.” 2 to 3 cloves garlic, cut in slivers 1 leg of lamb, 4 to 6 pounds 1 tablespoon rosemary leaves 1 lemon, halved 1 teaspoon salt Freshly ground pepper 1 bay leaf 1 ⁄2 stick (4 tablespoons) butter, melted, or olive oil 1 ⁄2 cup water 6 potatoes, peeled, cut into quarters 2 heaping tablespoons tomato paste, diluted in 1⁄2 cup warm water 1 tablespoon oregano 1.

Strain through a fine sieve; divide among 4 small bowls. Tint each a different color (red, neon blue, neon green and green) with food coloring. Cover with plastic wrap; set aside. Roll 1 batch dough on a lightly floured surface to 1⁄8-inch thick. Cut out eggs with the egg-shape cookie cutter (or use a pattern you make from heavy paper, as we did). Transfer to parchment-lined cookie sheets, spacing an inch apart. Cut a circle from the center of each cookie with the round cookie cutter or a knife.

Place the meat in a large baking pan. Rub meat with lemon halves; season with salt and pepper to taste. Place the bay leaf next to the lamb. Baste meat with some of the melted butter. Pour 1⁄2 cup water around the meat. 2. Bake, 1 hour. Add the potatoes all around the meat; pour the tomato-paste mixture over the potatoes. Sprinkle with remaining butter, juice from the lemon halves and oregano. Bake, until internal temperature reaches desired doneness, 145 degrees for medium-rare, 1 hour.

HERB-CRUSTED LAMB CHOPS WITH RED WINE REDUCTION Prep: 15 minutes Cook: 20 minutes Makes: 2-3 servings This recipe from “Savoring the Faith,” the Rev. Leo Patalinghug’s new cooking series, calls for frenched lamb chops, which are trimmed so the long rib bone is largely free of meat or fat. Many markets sell the chops already frenched or ask the butcher to do it for you.

Refrigerate while repeating with the remaining dough (but don’t cut holes from the second batch), rolling together the scraps as necessary. (Cut an even number of cookies with holes and without.) Heat oven to 350 degrees. Remove one cookie sheet from the refrigerator at a time; have the kids brush the cookies with the egg wash, using separate clean brushes for each color. Paint stripes, waves or dots, leaving 1⁄8-inch space between each color. The authors suggest tracing a line between the colors with a toothpick to keep the color from running together, but we didn’t have this problem. Want more intense colors? Chill painted cookies, 10 minutes. Brush a second coat of the same color over the first. Bake until cookies are light golden and firm, 12-15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; cool completely. Spoon royal icing into a zipclose plastic bag. Press out the excess air; seal. Snip a very small corner from the bag. Pipe deco-

dentation at the center of each mound to form a “nest.” Allow to finish cooling until firm. Nutrition information per serving (values are rounded to the nearest whole number): 180 calories; 80 calories from fat (41 percent of total calories); 9 grams

rative lines and dots on the cookies, outlining the colors. (Parents, you may need to do this part. Also, straight lines are much easier to pipe than curves.) Allow to dry, 1 hour. When cool, tint the lemon curd bright yellow with food coloring. Spread a thin layer of curd on the undecorated side of each whole cookie; sandwich with a cookie with a hole. (Your kids might prefer jam or melted chocolate instead of the curd.) Makes: about 12 sandwich cookies Royal icing: Combine 2 cups confectioners’ sugar, 1 1⁄2 tablespoons powdered egg whites and 3 tablespoons warm water in a bowl; beat with an electric mixer on low until blended.

High school senior’s refusal to ‘sext’ results in loss of her best friend Dear Abby: Two years ago, when I was in 10th grade, I had a best friend, “Ben.” We talked all the time and always hung out together. I never regarded him as someone I’d like to date, so I never took his attention very seriously. That summer, he texted me and asked me to send him a picture of my breasts. I told him I didn’t know what he was going to do with the picture, and I didn’t want to get in trouble. He was upset that I didn’t “trust” him. We didn’t talk the rest of the summer. The following year we had a chemistry class together, and Ben acted like he didn’t know me. He deleted my phone number and dropped me

DEAR ABBY ADVICE as a friend on Facebook. Now, in our final year of high school, he’s in another class with me. He still won’t acknowledge me and is always flirting with my best friend. I miss him a lot. I don’t understand why he’s treating me this way. What did I do that was so awful? — Bewildered in Pennsylvania Dear Bewildered: You did nothing wrong. You considered Ben to be a friend, and I assume that you aren’t in the habit of showing your male friends your breasts. It seems only logical that you wouldn’t send a

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

picture that could wind up heaven knows where. Ben is acting this way because he is trying to punish you for not giving him what he wanted. He’s flirting with your friend to hurt you. These are not the actions of a friend, and the sooner you accept it, the better off you will be. Ben strikes me as immature and a user, so be glad you didn’t do what he wanted.

Dear Wondering: First discuss this with an attorney who specializes in wills, trusts and estate planning. If you leave an equal amount to each of your heirs, it will prevent hurt feelings and resentment among them. Monies given before your death to one of your children should be tallied and deducted from the amount he or she is allotted in your will — with an explanation of why it is less.

Dear Abby: Regarding money and adult children, should a parent help all children equally if they are financially able to? Or should a parent offer help only to the children in need? If one child has a high-paying job, does he/she deserve any less from a parent in the end? — Wondering

Dear Abby: I am torn between two important people in my life. My best friend and my husband graduate this year on the same day, one at 9 a.m., the other at 10 a.m., at two different colleges an hour and a half apart. My friend says that because I was able to attend my husband’s associate and bachelor degree graduations, I

CRYPTOQUOTE

should attend her ceremony because I have never seen her graduate. However, I feel my husband’s having earned his master’s degree is a huge accomplishment, and that I should attend his graduation. What do you think, Abby? — Undecided in Arkansas Dear Undecided: I think you should follow your instincts, because they are exactly right. During your lifetime you will have many friends, but let’s hope only one husband. 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). Ideas inspire you and propel you forward. You’ll feel like diving in without testing the waters first, and this may work well for you, provided you’re familiar with this particular “pool.” TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Don’t worry about finishing what you started. Organize your project for completion at a later date. The process of taking stock, categorizing and figuring out where things stand will illuminate an important piece of the puzzle. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Venus newly gracing your sign decides to lend you a cloak of charm. All you have to do is wrap it around yourself, and suddenly the world finds you enchanting. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Getting too involved in the lives of others can be, simply stated, a drag. When you are careful to identify problems as “yours” and “mine,” life becomes rather manageable. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You enjoy learning new things quite a lot more than you’ll enjoy repeating the same old tasks. And yet, it’s the same old tasks that need your attention. A mid-morning attitude adjustment will help. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The moon in your sign casts a glow of intrigue on your life, and you may field more attention, questions and curious stares than you’re used to. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You can never know everything about a person. Even if the other person is your twin who shares the same DNA, there still will be a world to discover.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Special projects are so enthralling that you wish you could spend all of your time on them. Even if you can’t make that happen given your current situation, you’re lucky to feel so strongly about your interests. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have an important point to make today, and there’s no use in being subtle. Sing it from the rooftops. You’ll attract like minds. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be a master of free association now, so feel free to go off on a conversational riff. Chances are, you’ll hit on the topic that your counterpart most enjoys. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll go on a shopping spree, but what you’re after is something other than tangible goods. You’re looking for the inspiration or information that will lead you to the next adventure. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It was this day in 1939 that your sign mate Glenn Miller recorded “Moonlight Serenade,” which quickly became a popular standard. You’ll be similarly creatively inspired, so remember to record your ideas! TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 4). You are charismatic and popular this year, and you’ll use your powers for good, elevating the mood of those around you. Over the next four weeks, you’ll be proud to see your brainchild develop and walk on its own. Family makes you proud in August. Leo and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 39, 2, 12, 34 and 28.
