Viewing for Tyler Winstead takes mourners on path young man from Wilkes-Barre knew well

Final farewell on familiar ground

By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – The halfblock between the home where Tyler Winstead grew up and Mt. Zion Baptist Church was a path that Tyler often traveled. Raised by his grandparents only three houses away from the Hill Street church, Tyler attended services every Sunday and was an enthusiastic participant in church youth programs for years, a family friend said. On TuesWinstead day, hundreds of mourners tracked the same path Tyler had a hundred times before, from the Hill Street house to the church where Tyler lay in an open casket at the center of a crowded room, packed with others hoping to wish him goodbye. Along the short path they passed the patch of sidewalk, now marked with dozens of prayer candles, balloons, flowers and crosses, where five days earlier Tyler was found wounded in the chest by the gunshot that would take his life. Willie and Carol Golden, Tyler’s grandparents who raised him from the age of 3, gripped hands tightly as they passed the memorial, following Tyler’s siblings to the church around 5 p.m. They did not stop at the spot.

The casket bearing the body of Tyler Winstead was brought into the Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday as state police investigated nearby at the home of his friend Elijah Yusiff.

Some of Tyler’s classmates at GAR High School did pause, lingering by the memorial as they exchanged hugs and brushed away tears. The investigation into Tyler’s death is still ongoing; just hours before the viewing Tuesday city and state police exe-

WILKES-BARRE – Claiming the rights of criminal defendants are being violated, the American Civil Liberties Union on Tuesday filed a class-action lawsuit that seeks to force Luzerne County to hire more attorneys for the Public Defender’s Office. The suit, filed on behalf of Chief Public Defender Al Flora and three people currently facing charg- Flora es, stems from Flora’s decision INSIDE: Chief in December to Public Defender limit the types seeks injunction of criminal to keep county from firing him, cases his office 10A. would accept due to what he says are excessive caseloads handled by his attorneys. The policy has left more than 300 defendants to face charges without an attorney as the county has failed to provide an alternate source of legal representation, according to the lawsuit filed in Luzerne County Court. “You can’t have a situation where people are on the brink of losing their liberty and not be given an attorney,” said Witold “Vic” Walczak of the ACLU, who filed the suit. Flora declined comment on the suit, referring questions to Walczak. Five office vacancies Walczak said the issue recently came to a head after Flora was not permitted to fill any of five vacant positions – even though four of those positions are included in the county’s 2012 budget -- due to the countywide hiring freeze that was instituted under interim county manager Tom Pribula. “He made a judgment, based on the ethics of law, that his office cannot handle the workload. He tried repeatedly to get more funding and staff without success. This was his only recourse,” Walczak said. Assistant County Solicitor Vito DeLuca said he spoke with Coun-

Fugitive in W.Va. killing nabbed here by marshals Rasshammach Roberts captured when seen leaving Wilkes-Barre residence. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A man wanted for a deadly shooting in West Virginia seven months ago was captured in Wilkes-Barre by U.S. Marshals on Monday night. Rasshammach Roberts, 29, was apprehended when a U.S. deputy marshal spotted him leaving a residence in the 100 block of Old River Road, according to a news release from U.S. Marshal Martin J. Pane. Roberts initially denied his identity, which was confirmed by fingerprints, the news release says. Roberts was charged in Mineral County, W.Va., on Sept. 8. He is accused of killing Ryan Henry, 25, and shooting his brother, Richard Henry, 27, on Sept. 4. Roberts’ brother, Rasjahon Roberts, 27, was captured by the U.S. Marshals in Williamsport on Sept. 16. Two other suspects also were captured; Tavon Kearney, was arrested in Hampton, Va., on Oct. 24, and Taj Green was captured in Queens, N.Y.C., on Nov. 7. The case was featured Friday on the network show “America’s Most Wanted.” Roberts was the second fugitive wanted for homicide in another state to be captured in Wilkes-Barre in recent weeks. U.S. Marshals and city police apprehended Clifton Sykes, 45, at a house on South Hancock Street on March 26. Sykes was wanted for the deadly stabbing of another man in Newark, N.J., on March 23. According to the news release on Tuesday: Roberts was involved in an altercation with the Henry brothers about a woman. Roberts allegedly shot Ryan Henry in the chest and Richard Henry in the face. The two brothers from Boston, Mass., were in West Virginia for a family reunion at the time of the shooting. The U.S. Marshals in Clarksburg, W.Va., began assisting in the investigation in early September. Information that was developed indicated Roberts was staying in the Wilkes-Barre area. After his capture, Roberts told authorities he watched his profile air on “America’s Most Wanted.” Roberts is jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility awaiting an extradition hearing.

U.S. representative says he won’t meet with Dem challenger Cartwright before primary

Holden: No time now for debate By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

U.S. Rep. Tim Holden, in the midst of a competitive primary battle against fellow Democrat Matt Cartwright, said Tuesday there will be no formal debates against his challenger before the April 24 primary. Citing his job duties as a 10term congressman plus the rigors of campaigning against a rare primary election opponent, Holden said he doesn’t have the time to debate. He also said he believes the public has a pretty good idea thanks

to news media and campaign efforts where both candidates stand on the issues. The deciCartwright sion is a digression from the Holden campaign’s comments made on March 15. At that time, Eric Nagy, a campaign spokesman, said while Cartwright’s request for a debate in all six counties in the 17th Congressional District was not feasible, one debate was likely.

State Auditor General Jack Wagner, right, announced his endorsement for Congressman Tim Holden, left, in his re-election bid in the 17th District race Tuesday in WilkesBarre.

“Here’s the problem I have. I do not have the luxury of missing work,” said Holden, 55, of St. Clair, Schuylkill County. “The people of this district elected me to do a job … These two weeks during Congressional Easter break are the only two weeks I’ve had home full time. I’ve had a jam-packed schedule and I’ve got to go back to work Monday morning, we’re in session.” When asked why no debate could be held on a weekend or at night in the next two weeks, See HOLDEN, Page 5A

Man arrested in burglary

A man awaiting trial on burglary charges was allegedly caught burglarizing another home Tuesday, Kingston police said. Police charged Robert James Burns, 24, of Chestnut Avenue, with burglary, criminal trespassing and theft Tuesday after Burns was allegedly captured on surveillance video taking cash and other items from Theo’s Metro, 596 Mercer Ave. Police said video footage from a surveillance system show a man entering the building at approximately 5:45 a.m. Tuesday, going through the cash register and looking at bottles of alcohol behind the bar. Kingston officer Edward Palka and Detective Stephen Gibson recognized the man as Burns, according to a criminal complaint. He was subsequently arrested, arraigned before District Judge Paul Roberts and is being held at county prison for lack of $75,000 straight bail. Before his arrest on new charges, Burns had been free on $15,000 bail related to charges of theft, burglary, criminal trespassing and loitering by prowling at night stemming from an alleged burglary Aug. 26. In that case, Kingston police allege Burns broke into the Chester Street home of Margaret Hargraves, but was frightened away by the homeowner. PLYMOUTH TWP.

Filling up on facts By EILEEN GODIN Times Leader Correspondent

WILKES-BARRE – Excitement was in the air Tuesday, as 70 students from Wilkes-Barre Area’s Dodson Elementary School participated in Nutrition Feud. Designed to be similar to the TV game show “Family Feud,” the contest tested the students’ nutritional knowledge gained from a year-long program sponsored by the Commission of Economic Opportunity in Wilkes-Barre. Mary McHale Parrs, a registered dietitian with CEO, said the goal of the program is to increase children’s awareness of the importance of a healthful, diverse diet, exercise and breakfast. “I really feel we are making a difference,” Parrs said. “Some children never saw a fresh pear before or know where fruit comes from.” Three different shows were planned throughout the day; the first starting at 9 a.m. for the fourth through sixth grades, 1:30 p.m. for kindergarten and first grades, and at 2:15 p.m. for second and third grades.

“I really feel we are making a difference. … Some children never saw a fresh pear before or know where fruit comes from.”

Mary McHale Parrs registered dietitian with CEO

Eager to show off their nutritional know-how, two teams consisting of five students each took the stage to answer challenges such as “Name a food group on My Plate or the Food Pyramid” and “Name an animal we get food from.” A touch a stage fright prevented two first-graders from giving an answer, but nervous energy or not, Team 2 earned 200 points before the end of the game. Every student received an activity book at the end of the game show, so every one was a winner. This was the second year CEO held a game show in area elementary schools to test the children. Last year, Parrs said the game show was modeled

after “Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader” but called “Are You Smarter than a Nutrition Wiz.” Parrs said the nutritional education program was started six years ago in the Wilkes-Barre Area School District, but now serves the Hanover Area, Greater Nanticoke Area, Hazleton Area and Wyoming Valley West. The only requirement for the USDAfunded program is at least 50 percent or more of the student population must participate in the free or reduced lunch program, Parrs said. The curriculum was developed through staff members at CEO, the Supplement Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP education, and in partnership with first lady Michelle Obama’s healthy kids’ initiative, Parrs said. “We work as a team to come up with these ideas,” she said. The educational program is geared to inform the students and their parents. Students learn what foods make up a healthy diet and are given a sample or snack, Parrs said. “The children are taking what they learned back home,” she said.

Police: Man shot by cop likely to be charged with injuring 2 Times Leader staff

WILKES-BARRE – A man shot by a city police officer is expected to be charged with injuring two people with a Taser during a home invasion at 251 Kidder St. on Monday morning, according to police. State police at Wyoming said James M. Rankin, 21, forced his way into an apartment and was confronted by Naeem Ford, 28, and Margarita Martinez, 22, at about 4:30 a.m.

During a struggle, Rankin allegedly stunned Ford and Martinez with a Taser and jumped out of a third-floor window. He was spotted running by a city police officer on Laurel Street, state police said. State police said Rankin was given “repeated commands to show his hands and get on the ground.” As the city officer approached Rankin, he started to make “furtive movements and reach into his waistband” when he was shot in

the torso by the officer at Laurel Street and Jenks Lane, state police said. State police did not say if they recovered the Taser. Rankin underwent surgery at WilkesBarre General Hospital. His injury is considered non-life threatening, state police said. Rankin remains hospitalized under police watch. The officer has been placed on administrative paid leave.

A majority of Luzerne County Council voted Tuesday to stop providing funding for the Hotel Sterling, leaving the planned demolition of the landmark downtown Wilkes-Barre building up in the air. County Manager Robert Lawton recommended the end of funding, saying the demolition would drain $1.5 million from a county community development business loan fund. Lawton said the loan account has $11 million, and he doesn’t want to turn down future loans for viable economic development projects due to a lack of funds. Council members agreed to set up a meeting with elected state and Wilkes-Barre officials to discuss possible alternative funding Lawton said streams for demo- Mayor Tom lition.

McGinley and Williams said they wanted to hold the meeting with other government leaders before agreeing to end funding. Williams expressed concerns about congestion caused by traffic barriers around the site. During Tuesday’s council meeting, Lawton presented recent photos of deterioration inside the building and said moss and grass are growing on upper floors. The roof has caved in, causing further damage, he said. Councilman Eugene Kelleher said state Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski, D-Wilkes-Barre, has agreed to get involved in a meeting to discuss options. Kelleher said representatives of King’s College and Wilkes University should be invited because the Sterling has become an eyesore encountered by prospective students.

Zimmerman is at the center of an investigation over the shooting of Trayvon Martin, 17. Zimmerman says he shot Martin in self-defense after following him in a gated community in Sanford on Feb. 26. Martin, who was unarmed, was black. Zimmerman’s father is white and his mother is Hispanic. The lack of an arrest has inspired nationwide protests and some claims of racial profiling, which Zimmerman’s supporters deny. Meanwhile, Sonner on Tuesday confirmed the authenticity

The violence comes at a pivotal time for the U.S.-led coalition as it forges ahead with plans to hand over security responsibility to the Afghans. The Taliban claimed responsibility for Tuesday’s attacks — one in the western region of Herat and the other in the southern province of Helmand — in telephone messages to the media.

TEHRAN, IRAN

China: Be flexible in talks

Iran’s economic ally China urged all sides Tuesday in upcoming nuclear talks to show “flexibility and sincerity” even as Tehran sent mixed messages with hints of compromise and blasts of defiance. The appeals by China — among the world powers taking part in the negotiations later this week — carry significant weight in Tehran and the West, and appeared aimed at nurturing the cautious hope that this dialogue won’t quickly collapse like the last attempt more than a year ago. Senior envoys from Iran and the five permanent U.N. Security Council members plus Germany — are to hold preliminary sessions Friday in Istanbul and move into direct talks the next day. The timetables appear open, but there is speculation the sessions will not stretch beyond Saturday in a bid for a slower, step-by-step approach that will involve scheduling future talks.

Nail polishes not so ‘non-toxic’

Report finds some polishes advertised as free of one or more certain toxins actually do contain those toxins.

Loann Tran, co-owner of Happy Nails in Salinas, Calif., holds up a bottle of nail polish that was tested and found to contain toluene and formaldehyde, despite being labeled as free of those toxic chemicals, after a news conference in Oakland, Calif., Tuesday.

The Associated Press

Police say a boy, 5, brought 50 packets of heroin to school for show and tell, and his stepfather has been arrested. The student went to kindergarten Monday with his stepfather’s jacket and pulled out the drugs in 10 small plastic bags when it came time for his presentation to the class, Bridgeport police said. The teacher grabbed the bags away from the boy, and the principal called police. The boy’s stepfather, Santos Roman, 35, was arrested after arriving at the school. Roman was detained on $100,000 bail. The boy was put in state custody until other relatives could be located.

SAN FRANCISCO — Some nail polishes commonly found in California salons and advertised as free of a “toxic trio” of chemicals actually have high levels of agents linked to birth defects, according to state chemical regulators. A Department of Toxic Substances Control report determined the mislabeled nail products have the potential to harm thousands of women who work in salons in California, and their customers. The use of the three chemicals in nail products is not illegal if properly labeled. But agency officials said the false claims may be a violation of a state law that requires disclosure of harmful chemicals in consumer products.

Syrian troops defy U.N.-brokered cease-fire with more attacks

Alert students save the day

A dozen students knew what to do when their bus driver slumped over the wheel unconscious. Surveillance video shows 13-year-old Jeremy Wuitschick rushing down the aisle and grabbing the wheel on Monday morning as other students yell: “Call 911!” Wuitschick had noticed the driver was shaking and his arms flailing just as the bus started to pull into Surprise Lake Middle School in Milton, about 30 miles south of Seattle. Wuitschick saw the driver’s eyes bulging and heard rasping noises. Students can be heard yelling, “Oh my God!” and “Call 911! Call 911!” on the video, as they realize the bus is out of control. Others cried, “Stop the bus!” and “Take the keys out of the ignition!” Wuitschick heeded the calls, removing the keys and turning the steering wheel to pull the bus over. The bus slowly came to a stop against the curb. Wuitschick and another student, Johnny Wood, who trained in first aid by the Red Cross, started chest compressions on the driver until adults arrived.

BEIRUT — Syrian troops defied a U.N.-brokered ceasefire plan Tuesday, launching fresh attacks on rebellious areas, but special envoy Kofi Annan said there was still time to salvage a truce that he described as the only chance for peace.

BALTIMORE — Two public school teachers and a school administrator who call themselves “The Three Amigos” are sharing part of last month’s record Mega Millions jackpot, planning for trips to Europe, new homes and their children’s college funds, Maryland Lottery officials said Tuesday.

The winning Maryland ticket is one of three nationally that split the $656 million jackpot, the biggest in Mega Millions history. The other winners in the March 30 drawing were picked in Kansas and Illinois. Kansas’ winner claimed a share of the jackpot Friday, but also decided to remain anonymous. Nobody has come forward in Illinois, where winners have one year to claim a jackpot and must make at least some details about themselves public, though not necessarily one’s name. One Maryland winner is a special education teacher, one is an elementary school teacher and the third is a school administrator. All three said they plan to continue to work, noting that they were committed to their students. “One said ‘I can’t give up on my kids,’ ” Martino said. The discovery of the real Maryland winners comes after a week of speculation and intense media coverage of a Baltimore woman, Mirlande Wilson, who claimed to hold the winning ticket and then said she had lost it. The lottery confirmed that Wilson did not win. She and her attorney did not immediately return calls from The Associated Press seeking comment.

Kevin Costner: Country crooner?

ORLANDO, Fla. — Attorneys for a Florida neighborhood watch volunteer who fatally shot an unarmed black teen have withdrawn as his counsel, saying they have lost contact with him. Attorney Craig Sonner said Tuesday in a news conference they haven’t heard from George Zimmerman since Sunday. They said that against their advice, Zimmerman contacted the special prosecutor who will decide if he should face charges.

Holden said that in the occurrences when the two have appeared together, at political committee endorsement sessions, he said the party supporters have backed him. Cartwright, 50, of Moosic, was critical of Holden’s decision when contacted Tuesday. “I don’t know what to say about a man who will circulate vicious falsehoods on television about me and my family and then refuse to face me in person,” Cartwright said. “He can’t defend his record of voting to create the Halliburton loophole and against health care reform even though he has access to the best health care in the world.

Chief to proceed in Dallas Twp. Sale won’t change plans, say officials of Chief, which gets planning commission’s OK. By SARAH HITE shite@timesleader.com

DALLAS TWP. – Officials from Chief Gathering LLC said Tuesday the company will continue with its plans to build a pipeline and metering station in Dallas Township despite its sale to another company. Penn Virginia Resource Partners L.P. announced Tuesday that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Chief Gathering LLC for $1 billion. Chief representatives attended a township planning commission meeting Tuesday evening to seek final approval for its Wyoming County Pipeline project and a metering station to be located off Hildebrandt Road. Chief got what it wanted as the planning commission gave the company conditional preliminary approval for a subdivision of the approximately 20-acre property owned by Robert and Jacqueline Hayes to build a metering facility on about 16 acres. The facility will measure gas flowing from northern counties into the Transco interstate pipeline. Jeffrey Malak, attorney for Chief, said despite the sale, the company will continue to operate as Chief Gathering LLC and due to an agreement made with the township last year, the cur-

rent plans for the pipeline and metering facility will not change. Township Solicitor Thomas Brennan said Tuesday it is his preliminary understanding that Chief’s assets are being acquired by PVR, but that the acquisition will not impact the previously existing agreements between Chief and the township. In fact, the agreement explicitly states its conditions will not change if Chief is sold or if the pipelines change hands. “We specifically provided that the agreements are binding on the successors and assigns of Chief,” Brennan said. The metering facility, which was approved by the zoning hearing board in December, will include a pig receiver, an inlet receiver, two flow control buildings and various tanks and valves. The site will also need to meet stipulations ordered by the zoning hearing board, such as video surveillance and chain-linked fencing with barbed wire surrounding the property. Some of the metering equip-

ment will also be located within Wyoming County. Nick Bryan, an environmental manager for Chief, said the site was “stripped down to the bare bones” in order to meter the gas. The planning commission could not give Chief approval for its land development application, but granted the township’s engineers permission to work with Chief engineers in remedying all outstanding issues. The commission granted conditional preliminary approval to Williams Field Services LLC to construct its metering facility about 500 feet away from the Chief site. Williams officials said plans needed to be revised due to conditions ordered upon the project by the zoning hearing board in January. Mick Goodwin, of Milnes Engineering, said there will be an additional building on the site for communications equipment and a skid that will be connected to the site. He also said electricity will need to be provided on the site. Times Leader reporter Matt Hughes contributed to this article.

Leighton has asked him to schedule a meeting to discuss the Sterling. Discussion on options won’t end just because the county “put a padlock on the wallet,” the manager said. The council also adopted the new personnel code, which establishes hiring procedures and employment policies. A vote on natural gas drilling fees was postponed because some council members wanted to review the status of legal action against the governing state legislation.

Pa. voter ID law focus of hearing By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

The voter ID law will be the focus of a Pennsylvania House Democratic Policy Committee public hearing from 2 to 4 p.m. today in Waverly, Lackawanna County. State Rep. Sid Michaels Kavulich, D-Taylor, requested the hearing and will serve as cochairman. The hearing will discuss the impact the new law will have on voting procedures in the upcoming primary and general elections. It will also examine how the changes could affect the general public, including seniors, veterans and people with disabilities. Audience members will be able to make comments at the end of the hearing. Under the law, acceptable photo IDs include a driver’s license, a student ID with an expiration date IDs from a personal-care home, or those issued by the military or a feder-

al, state, county or municipal entity. Voters who come to the polls without a photo ID would be allowed to cast a provisional ballot, and then would have six days to present officials with an acceptable ID. Among those scheduled to testify are representatives from the Lackawanna County Department of Elections, NEPA Center for Independent Living, AARP Pennsylvania and The League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania. The hearing will be in the auditorium at Waverly Community House, 115 N. Abington Road, Waverly. Gov. Tom Corbett signed the bill into law on March14. It passed the state House by a margin of 104-88 with three Republicans joining every one of the chamber’s 85 Democrats in opposition. The state Senate passed it March 7 by a 26-23 tally. Every Democrat in the Senate, plus three Republicans, voted against it.

PARKING Continued from Page 1A

Qualifications from firms interested in leasing the city’s parking assets. Council is expected to vote on the request at its meeting Thursday at 6 p.m. Public comment is allowed. “I’ll wait to see the proposals,” said Councilman Tony George. “I want to see the figures first.” Councilwoman Maureen Lavelle took the same position. “I thinks it’s worth investigating,” she said. “But I want to see the quotes first before I make a decision.” Prior to the lease agreement, Lotter said Indianapolis would typically receive about $600,000 in revenue from the parking meters. He said after expenses, the city would net under $100,000. “The parking meter rates had not gone up since 1985,” Lotter said. “And that was due to various political reasons.” Since Park Indy has taken over, the meter rates have been increased and hours of oper-

County plans for Piazza-less primary By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Luzerne County officials won’t discuss if or when Election Bureau Director Leonard Piazza will return to work from a forced administrative leave. County Manager Robert Lawton, who imposed the disciplinary action last week, said Tuesday a plan is in the works to ensure the April 24 primary runs smoothly if Piazza isn’t at the helm. Lawton said he has contacted state election officials to discuss the matter and is seeking assistance from the county’s electronic voting machine supplier. County employees with past election experience also will provide assistance, Lawton said, declining to elaborate. “We have a knowledge base,” he said. The placement of Piazza on leave with pay was connected to

ation were extended. He said the meters were upgraded and now allow credit card use. They also are equipped with sensors that allow vehicle owners to add time to the meters through their smartphones. Park Indy also uses the StreetSmart system that monitors meters and signals when time has expired to allow enforcement to go to the specific site and issue tickets. Wilkes-Barre participated in a trial program of the StreetSmart program last summer but has not yet implemented the system. Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom Leighton announced Monday the city will explore a possible 30- or 50-year lease of its parking assets for a “minimum bid price of $20 million” that would be reinvested into public safety, anti-blight and infrastructure initiatives. All city garages – Park and Locks and the Intermodal Transportation Center – all surface lots and all parking meters could be leased to a vendor, the mayor said. According to figures provided by the city, the total revenue from parking charges and me-

ters was $967,618 in 2011 and $738,851 in 2010. Alan Wohlstetter, legal counsel for the authority, said there are 2,113 garage spaces, 160 surface lot spaces and 800 parking meters that could be leased. Frank Sorick, president of the Wilkes-Barre City Taxpayers Association, said the idea bears watching. “After seeing the hand-picked bid process that happens so often in the city, of course I have concerns,” Sorick said. “It seems like they already have a vendor in mind, but state law says we must request proposals.”

his recent decision to audit the campaign finance reports of county Controller Walter Griffith, according to informed Piazza sources. Griffith has said Piazza’s office doesn’t have authority to audit his reports because that responsibility is handled by the state. The controller believes he was singled out because he’s been scrutinizing Piazza’s attendance records. Piazza has declined to discuss interactions with Griffith and said he does not believe Lawton has authority to discipline him. County officials said the election director is a county employee supervised by the county manager. The county election board met in closed-door executive session Tuesday night to discuss the matLotter said Indianapolis, population 830,000, received $1.4 million in revenue from Park Indy in the first year of operation. He said the agreement with Park Indy includes a percentage of meter revenue be paid to the city. He said the “vast majority” of the $20 million upfront payment was invested in the metered areas of the downtown. “We replaced sidewalks, improved streets and we are financing a $6.3 million parking garage,” Lotter said. Lotter said the city was not taking advantage of the parking meters and the potential revenue they could generate. He

ter. Local political consultant Bob Caruso objected to the private meeting, saying the public should hear the discussion. The board asked county assistant solicitor Vito DeLuca into the session. Piazza was not present. Lawton was in the room for a few minutes. Caruso told board Chairman H. Jeremy Packard that the board’s solicitor, Michael Butera, works for the county manager. Packard said the board is aware of that and will discuss the possibility of retaining outside legal counsel. Caruso also said he received a call from a candidate who unsuccessfully tried to obtain a list of registered voters from the election bureau on Monday. Election office workers told the candidate they did not know how to provide the information on a computer disc, he said. said the equipment was antiquated. Lotter said the city would not have been able to upgrade the equipment. He said Park Indy has handled it all and the city has received money to invest at no risk. He said the city is also exploring investing in a mass transit system that could reduce the number of vehicles in the downtown. “If that takes away downtown parkers, there is no impact on the city’s budget,” Lotter said. “The parking vendor would need to deal with that.” Lotter said Indianapolis re-

“We’re two weeks away. The candidates need this data now,” Caruso said. Lawton said he was not aware of that problem and said the administration will correct any candidates’ difficulties obtaining service from the office. In related business, Piazza filed a complaint against DeLuca on Tuesday with the state Supreme Court disciplinary board seeking his disbarment. Piazza accused DeLuca of obstructing justice by halting the campaign finance investigation. DeLuca said he can’t discuss confidential personnel matters but added, “Trust that the proper procedures were followed.” Piazza also said he plans to seek assistance from the state American Civil Liberties Union next week “on behalf of Luzerne County’s 190,000+ voters.” ceived 16 responses to its Requests for Proposal to manage and update the parking meter system. Drew McLaughlin, administrative coordinator for the city, said the parking authority will issue a Request for Qualifications, not the city. He said City Council will be voting this week to authorize the inclusion of city owned assets in the request. McLaughlin said the city owns the Intermodal Transportation Center and the parking meters; the authority owns the Park and Lock garages and the surface lots.

OTHER OPINION: PA. LEGISLATURE

Shedding state flab won’t be quick fix

HE ANCIENT Chinese philosopher Lao-tzu once mused, “A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step.” The Pennsylvania House of Representatives this month began what, if successful, will be a long and laborious process of shrinking the size of the state’s bloated General Assembly. But at least the legislators took the first step. Spurred by public outrage over the 2005 pay-raise controversy and the more recent Bonusgate scandal, the 203-member House voted140-49 to cull its own ranks by 50 and cut the Senate from 50 to 38.

A senseless shooting in our own backyard

SEND US YOUR OPINION

candlelight vigil was held April 4 on Public Square by the Wilkes-Barre NAACP and the Peace Center in a show of support for the family of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old who was shot and killed on Feb. 26. Trayvon was shot while returning from the store with a bag of Skittles and an iced tea. His parents are seeking that the man who shot their son be brought to justice. Less than 48 hours after the candlelight vigil, an unarmed 14-year-old boy was shot and murdered near his Wilkes-Barre home – reportedly the victim of a drive-by shooting. I’m deeply disturbed and depressed by this shooting since I know the family of this young boy, Tyler Winstead. This most recent violent incident occurred right in our own backyard on Hill Street in Wilkes-Barre. My most sincere and deepest sympathies are extended to the family members in their period of mourning. Scott Richardson, of the Diversity Institute at Misericordia University, made mention of this exact type of violence during the candlelight vigil. Already, I’ve received a call from a concerned citizen offering support for a public protest of this violent act. However, at this point, I encourage anyone with information that can assist law enforcement in capturing and bringing those responsible to justice to contact the Wilkes-Barre Police Department at (570) 208-4200. I applaud Mayor Tom Leighton for the urgency and priority he has assigned to this case. Ronald Felton President Wilkes-Barre unit, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People

Writer finds contractor to be a man of his word

ast July, after receiving five estimates, we had our roof replaced. One roofer said he wouldn’t replace the roof unless we also changed the skylight in our bathroom. Other contractors didn’t share the same opinion. The contractor we chose assured us that the skylight didn’t need to be replaced, saying, if it leaked “in the next five years,” he would replace it at his expense. We didn’t have that assurance in writing. The roof was fine through all the wind and rain from the hurricane and flood last fall. It wasn’t until we had snow and heavy frost that water leaked into our bathroom. I called Ed Gilroy from Gilroy Construction, who had replaced the roof and given us the assurance. He restated his assurance that, as soon as the weather was conducive to changing the skylight, it would be replaced. And this week it was! Ed Gilroy is certainly a man of his word, which restores my faith in contractors.

Congressmen must work to keep jobs in the U.S.

he trade deals NAFTA and CAFTA cost Northeastern Pennsylvania thousands of jobs, yet our congressmen, Tom Marino and Lou Barletta, voted to pass the most recent trade deals with Colombia, Panama and Korea. These pacts will no doubt cost us more jobs. Since China joined the World Trade Organization, U.S. employment in the auto-parts sector has dropped by 45 percent, with about 400,000 workers losing their jobs. It’s no coincidence that in a similar period, U.S. imports of Chinese auto parts have skyrocketed by almost 900 percent. We need to fight to secure and create jobs now more than ever, especially against China’s illegal and predatory trade tactics. Recently, 188 senators and representatives sent a letter to President Obama urging him to act. Unfortunately, Congressmen Marino and Barletta did not sign. We need them to get involved and help us protect the 1.6 million good-paying U.S. jobs that are at risk. Call Rep. Marino’s office at (570) 8368020 or Rep. Barletta’s office at (570) 7510050. Let them know that addressing Chinese predatory policies in auto parts should be one of the Interagency Trade Enforcement Center’s first and highest priorities. Bill Herbert Wilkes-Barre

Acts of domestic violence prove need for funding

ake a look at what happened across Pennsylvania in only one recent fiveday period, March 24-29: • A Philadelphia woman reportedly was stabbed and shot to death by her boyfriend. • A Chester County woman was fatally stabbed by her estranged husband, police said, leaving her four children motherless. • An elderly Lehigh County man killed

DOONESBURY

his wife and then himself. • A pregnant York County woman was fatally stabbed by her boyfriend in front of her 5-year-old daughter, police said. • The CEO of one of Pennsylvania’s largest insurance companies was charged with assaulting his girlfriend’s husband in Allegheny County, resulting in the downgrading of the company’s credit rating and his firing. It’s ironic that during those same five days I joined other human services providers visiting state legislators at the Capitol to plead for the preservation of funding for vital programs serving our most vulnerable residents, including domestic violence victims. What more poignant proof of the dire need for this funding do legislators need than the tragic toll of those five days? Domestic violence occurs every day, in every community, at all socioeconomic levels and within every age group. Last year 166 Pennsylvanians died because of domestic violence. This is no time for state leaders to turn their backs on victims. Peg Dierkers Executive director Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence Harrisburg

Unbalanced budgets have left us debt-ridden

he last time the United States government was debt-free was in 1835, when Andrew Jackson, a Democrat, was the president. The problem, of course, is that there have been too many years when the federal budget was not balanced between revenue and spending. In the last 83 years, there have been only 13 years in which the federal government’s budget didn’t end the year with deficit. The closest thing to a truly balanced budget occurred in 1938, when there was a slight deficit, and it happened again in 1960, when there was a small surplus. Following the October 1929 stock market crash, President Herbert Hoover’s 1930 budget surplus overtaxed the economy and was one factor that led to the Great Depression. President Harry Truman balanced the budget three years in a row, from 1947 to 1949, and did it again for a fourth time in 1951. The only president to balance the federal budget four years in a row was Bill Clinton, who did it from 1998 to 2001. Incidentally, Democratic presidents were responsible for nine of the 13 balanced budgets that have occurred over the last 83 years. The two presidents who increased the present national debt the most were Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, both Republicans. Republican presidents love to cut taxes, but they also love to spend more money than they collect in taxes. That’s why America is in debt today. David L. Faust Selinsgrove

Flora seeks injunction to keep county from firing him Chief public defender makes move due to filing class-action lawsuit against county over office staffing. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

SCRANTON -- Anticipating that his decision to sue the county could get him fired, Luzerne County Chief Public Defender Al Flora Jr. filed a federal lawsuit seeking an injunction that would prevent the county from removing him from office. The suit, filed on behalf of Flora by the American Civil Liberties Union,

says Flora suspects County Manager Robert Lawton will seek to terminate him in retaliation for a class-action lawsuit Flora filed Tuesday in Luzerne County Court that seeks to force the county to hire more attorneys for the Public Defender’s Office. That lawsuit, which was also filed by the ACLU, contends the county is violating its constitutional duty to provide representation to indigent defendants by failing to adequately fund the Public Defender’s Office. The suit against the county says Flora was forced to limit the types of cases his office would accept due to an overwhelming caseload attorneys are hand-

ling. To date, more than 300 persons who qualified for a public defender have been denied representation due to the policy. The federal lawsuit is based on alleged threats of retaliation that were made against Flora by former interim county manager Tom Pribula after Flora publicly spoke out about staffing concerns and the possibility he might sue the county. The suit cites a budget meeting held on Jan. 12 at which Pribula stated he believed Flora would sue the county. Pribula then went on to note that Flora is selected by the county manager with county council’s confirmation, and that

they could replace Flora if there was a “lack of cooperation,” the suit says. Since learning of Pribula’s comments, Flora has refrained from making public comments about staffing issues in his office, the suit says. That threatened retaliation creates a “profound chill” on Flora’s right to express himself about a matter of public importance and sends a message that a “lack of cooperation with the county’s budget choices … will be punished,” the suit says. The suit contends any personnel action taken against Flora would violate his federal constitutional right to free speech and due process, and would also

The suit stems from Chief Public Defender Al Flora’s decision to limit the types of criminal cases his office would accept due to what he says are excessive caseloads handled by his attorneys. The policy has left more than 300 defendants to face charges without an attorney as the county has failed to provide an alternate source of legal representation, according to the lawsuit. representation,” the suit says. The suit seeks relief for three named plaintiffs: Samantha Volciak of Hazleton, Yolanda Holman of Hanover Township and Charles Hammonds of Clairton, as well as all other persons who qualify for representation from the Public Defender’s Office, but have been denied due to the policy that limits the types of cases the office will take. Under that policy, implemented on Dec. 19, the office only represents adults charged with homicide or felony sex offenses; persons who are incarcerated (re-

gardless of the charge) and any one facing a parole revocation hearing, involuntary mental health commitment or extradition to another county or state. The policy does not affect representation of juvenile defendants. Volciak is charged with drunken driving; Holman is charged with fraud in obtaining food stamps and Hammonds is charged with theft by deception. Each applied for a public defender, but was turned down. In addition to turning down defendants, Flora contends high

constitute wrongful discharge. Equally important, any action taken against Flora would hurt the county lawsuit because it would no longer have standing to proceed with the suit if he’s no longer the chief public defender. Witold “Vic” Walczak, an attorney with the ACLU, said the suit is a preemptive move aimed at preventing the county from taking action against Flora. Should the county do so before a ruling is made on the federal action, it would virtually assure a second federal suit against the county, he said. “If they want to fire Flora, they do so at their own peril,” Walczak said.

der directing the county to allow Flora to immediately fill the four vacancies as well as to hire two more attorneys to handle appeals and one secretary. Walczak said additional staff may be sought at a later time pending more thorough review of the department’s needs. The suit also seeks a court order that would ensure Flora can continue with the policy of refusing certain types of cases. Walczak said that’s based on a concern that county judges might start ordering the Public Defender’s Office to represent defendants over its objections. Walczak noted the suit only relates to the department’s adult unit. The juvenile unit is fully staffed. Walczak said Flora is concerned he may soon have to transfer attorneys from the juvenile unit, which has been touted as a Flora: More help needed model for the state, in order to Flora’s lawsuit seeks a court or- cover the adult unit.

caseloads have precluded public defenders from providing meaningful assistance to those who are represented. For instance, attorneys often meet with clients just minutes before the preliminary hearing – the first step at which a district judge determines if there is sufficient evidence for the case to proceed. That lack of contact continues throughout the entire judicial process, the suit says. “In fact, the attorneys are often unable to conduct meaningful and comprehensive interviews with clients until the eve of trial, if the case proceeds that far,” the suit says. “They frequently lack adequate time to engage in advance preparation for sentencing . . . (and) typically review the presentencing report at or shortly before the actual hearing.”

Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis said she couldn’t comment on the ongoing investigation into Tyler’s death Tuesday, but said her office is “doing everything possible… to do justice for Tyler.” “I want to make sure we follow all the proper procedures and make sure everything is done by the book,” Salavantis said outside Mt.

Visitors calling at his viewing Tuesday were greeted by a video slideshow of pictures of Tyler – Tyler opening presents under the tree; with his brother in their Sunday best; huddling around a chair with his siblings and relatives. In each photo there was one constant; the grin on Tyler’s face beamed from ear to ear. “He was a kid that had so much potential just because of his personality,”

Apologetic Guillen begs for forgiveness Marlins manager was also suspended for five games for remarks about Fidel Castro and will sit out the rest of Miami’s series versus the Phillies.

By STEVEN WINE AP Sports Writer

MIAMI — A contrite Ozzie Guillen sat in the heart of Little Havana seeking forgiveness for what the Miami Marlins manager called the biggest mistake of his life — saying he admired Fidel Castro. This wasn’t some offhanded insult about a sports writer, the type of thing that got the outspoken Guillen in trouble in Chicago. This was personal to the fan base that the Marlins rely on so much that they built their new stadium in the middle of the city’s Cuban-American neighborhood.

Castro is the sworn enemy of those fans. So after being suspended for five games Tuesday, the Marlins manager tried to quell the tempest. “I’m here on my knees to apologize,” Guillen said. “I’m very sorry about the problem, what happened. I will do everything in my power to make it better. ... When you make a mistake like this, you can’t sleep.” A chastened Guillen, who has a history of polarizing comments about gays and immigrants, among others, spoke without a script and made no disclaimers. He said he’ll

do whatever he can to repair relations with Cuban-Americans angered by his praise of the Cuban dictator, remarks he said he didn’t mean. Guillen, who is Venezuelan, told Time magazine he loves Castro and respects the retired Cuban leader for staying in power so long. In response, at least two Miami politicians said Guillen should lose his job. Callers on Spanish-language radio in Miami agreed and 100 demonstrators picketed Marlins Park toting signs like “NO APOLOGIES FIRE HIM NOW.” “He is full with hypocrisy,” said

Luis Martinez, who has lived in Miami since the late 1950s. “I don’t accept any kind of pardon from him. They should get him out.” The team didn’t consider firing Guillen or asking him to resign five games into his tenure, Marlins president David Samson said.

NEW ORLEANS — Multiple media reports citing unidentified sources say Bill Parcells is unlikely to become the Saints interim coach. The reports say Parcells prefers to remain retired and not replace longtime friend Sean Payton, who will serve a season-long suspension for his role in New Orleans’ bounty system. Saints spokesman Greg Bensel declined Tuesday to Parcells confirm Parcells has been ruled out as a possible Payton replacement, saying the team “has nothing to report” concerning the search for an interim coach. Parcells’ agent Jimmy Sexton declined to comment. If the Saints decide to select a replacement from their existing staff, the leading contenders are: assistant head coach Joe Vitt, who will serve a six-game suspension; offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr.; offensive line coach Aaron Kromer; new defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.

STATE COLLEGE — Penn State coach Bill O’Brien’s responsibilities cover so much more than overseeing a football team. It may not be part of the job description, but four months into his new job O’Brien has turned into a face of a program and school seeking to move forward from scandal. He’s hoping to soothe the concerns of loyal alumni shaken after the arrest of a retired defensive coordinator on child sexual abuse charges and the ouster of O’Brien’s predecessor — the late Joe Paterno.

PITTSBURGH — Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin spent last spring watching their Pittsburgh Penguins teammates try to carry on without the injured stars, a burden that became too much during a seven-game loss to upstart Tampa Bay in the opening round. A year later, the helpless feeling of trudging around in a suit while the franchise they expected to carry to a Stanley Cup floundered on the ice below them remains fresh. The memory of the long ride down the elevator from the press box to the quiet dressing room following a listless 1-0 defeat in Game 7 is why Crosby never considered shutting it down this season despite a 15-month battle with concussion-like symptoms and Malkin became arguably the best player in the world while playing on a completely rebuilt knee.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Ramon Ortiz was given the moniker of Little Pedro when he arrived on the scene in the Major Leagues in 1999 for his resemblance to Pedro Martinez on and off the mound. In his debut with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees on Tuesday at Alliance Bank Stadium against the Syracuse Chiefs, the right-hander showed why he was given that nickname. The 38-year-old only allowed one hit and struck out five in four innings of work before being removed after a rain delay of about a half hour. The game was suspended with the Yankees holding a 2-0 lead after four innings. The game will be resumed Saturday during the Yankees first home series of the season. Ortiz threw 59 pitches, 41 for strikes and the only hit he allowed was a leadoff single by Mark Teahen in the bottom of the third inning. Ortiz, who was added to the Yankees roster prior to Tuesday’s game after being signed on Monday by the organization, attended spring training with San Francisco on a minor league deal. The Giants released Ortiz on March 26. The Yankees scored in the top of the fourth as the Syracuse defense had trouble again in the series. DeWayne Wise walked and Brandon Laird reached on a two-base error by left fielder Corey Brown to setup a sacrifice fly by Colin Curtis for a 1-0 lead. Doug Bernier doubled to center field scoring Laird for a 2-0 lead.

ON THE MARK MARK DUDEK For The Times Leader

The Bobby Weiss Series rolls on this evening, with the filly & mare pacers squaring off in two divisions. Let’s take a look at the first division, pitting round one winners against each other, Ooh Bad Shark and Just A Glimpse. Last week both these four-year old mares had an easy time of it, both winning coast to coast with nearly identical times as well. Ooh Bad Shark draws one slot inside of her main rival and that alone just may be the difference in what should be a very interesting first division. In the second division Gottaseeaboutagirl deserves a second chance after drawing a tough outside post last week. In her effort last Tuesday she got away poorly and had to close into a slow pace, before finishing a good second to Ooh Bad Shark. There is no such rival in here and tonight the Western Terror filly draws a much more favorable three post. Gottaseeaboutagirl also gets the weaker of the two divisions as well, making her a standout selection in that tenth race. BEST BET: GOTTASEEABOUTAGIRL (10TH) VALUE PLAY: SPEED MCQUEEN (14TH)

Detwiler shines, helps Nats win The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Ross Detwiler pitched five scoreless innings and the Washington Nationals beat New York 6-2 Tuesday, handing the Mets their first loss of the season on the same night they learned that David Wright had broken a finger. Detwiler (1-0), a surprise addition to the back of the Nationals, allowed two hits, struck out six and walked one. Ian Desmond homered off Dillon Gee (0-1) leading off the game, and Jayson Werth had four hits of the Nationals’ 13 hits and drove in a run. New York said during the game that Wright’s right pinky was broken a night earlier when he dived back to a base.

CINCINNATI — Carlos Beltran and David Freese homered again, and Kyle Lohse provided another stingy performance, leading the St. Louis Cardinals to a victory over the Cincinnati Reds. The defending World Series champions are 5-1 for the first time since 2008. Beltran, counted on to help make up for the loss of Albert Pujols, hit his third homer off Mike Leake (0-1). Freese, the World Series MVP, added a two-run shot off Leake — also his third. Brewers 7, Cubs 4

Wright to get more tests on finger The Associated Press

NEW YORK — David Wright has a broken finger, and the Mets say they want him to take time off and heal rather than try to play through the pain. Before Tuesday night’s game against the Washington Nationals, manager Terry Collins took Wright out of the lineup after learning the third baseman had injured his finger diving back to a base the previous night. Later Tuesday, the Mets said X-rays had shown a fracture. Collins remembered how Wright suffered in silence last season before revealing back pain that turned out to be stress fracture that sidelined him for two months. “It would be the worst thing that could happen right now. It’s his top hand, bottom finger,” Collins said. “He is swinging the bat so well. It wouldn’t make any sense to make adjustments to his swing.” Wright batted .226 last year before he went on the disabled list May 18 and sat out until July 22. The Mets don’t know whether he will be placed on the disabled list this. He was scheduled to see a hand specialist on Wednesday and will be fitted for a custom splint. The fracture is too small to be surgically reduced. “No one ever really wants to go on the D. Hopefully, that’s not the case this time,” Wright said. “Can’t determine anything when it’s puffy and swollen like it is now.’ Wright has a homer and four walks in four games this season, as well as at least one hit in each game. For Tuesday night’s game against Washington, Collins moved second baseman Daniel Murphy to Wright’s No. 3 spot in the order, and had Ronny Cedeno at third base and batting second. The Mets lost 6-2, their first defeat this season after a 4-0 start.

AHL

Glaring sounds help Penguins prepare for noisy, playoff atmospheres By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguin Bryan Lerg had a flashback when he saw a CD player positioned between the benches for Tuesday’s practice. It reminded Lerg of his days with the U.S. National program, when head coach John Hynes made his players skate from goal line to goal line while blaring the anthems of other countries that the team faced in international play. “I heard them all,” Lerg said. “I think it was after a bad game we lost and he was pretty heated up.

When you’re getting bag skated, the last thing you want to hear is all these anthems.” Hynes opted against playing anthems on Tuesday and instead used the CD player to blare crowd noise as his players practiced 6-on-5 situations. He also put a minute on the clock and had his players attack or defend as the seconds ticked away. Hynes said it was all done to replicate a game-like situation when the crowd is loud and communication is key. “You have to communicate, not just throw pucks around,” he said. “It’s about communicating

in adverse conditions.” Especially if those conditions are at the Giant Center against the Hershey Bears – the Penguins likely opponent for the first round of the playoffs. The players liked the twist. “It was a really interesting idea,” said defenseman Joey Mormina. “If we’re playing Hershey and they’re swarming and the crowd is buzzing, it’s hard to communicate. Today was great to get the guys not just communicating, but doing it loudly.” Winger Geoff Walker said it was the first time he ever practiced with crowd noise. He felt

the technique will help come playoff time, along with the game clock. “He put a minute on the clock and when it got down to a few seconds, we had to run a quick play to get to the net,” Walker said. “That could be the difference in a Game 5.” Although Lerg said the crowd noise was nothing compared to the anthems, he added that Hynes once took things to another level during his days as the U.S. coach. “(Brian) Strait told me that when he was there, they had to skate to the anthems and he put a

couple of second-place trophies on the ice that they had to skate by,” Lerg said. “He feels it works and sometimes you do go through a practice and you don’t hear much communication. It was good for us, especially going to a place like Hershey where they’re wound up all the time.” New kid in town Forward Adam Payerl, who was signed to an amateur try-out agreement, practiced with the team on Tuesday. Payerl, 21, recently completed his third season with the Belleville Bulls of

the Ontario Hockey League, having set career highs with 22 goals, 47 points and 106 penalty minutes. Hynes said it was possible that Payerl would get into a game this weekend. Wheeling call-ups Hynes said the Penguins will call-up a group of players from the Wheeling Nailers, who were eliminated from the ECHL playoffs on Saturday. Players expected to join the Penguins include G Patrick Killeen, D Peter Mert, D Andrew Hotham, F Chris Barton, F Cody Chupp and F Ryan Schnell.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas fired coach Bobby Petrino on Tuesday, publicly dressing him down for unfairly hiring his mistress and intentionally misleading his boss about everything from their relationship to her presence at the motorcycle accident that ultimately cost him his job. Athletic director Jeff Long announced his decision at an evening news conference and laid out a stunning laundry list of misdeeds against the man he hired away from the Atlanta Falcons four years ago. The 51-year-old Petrino, a married father of four, had maintained an inappropriate relationship with 25-year-old Jessica Dorrell for a “significant” amount of time and at one point had given her $20,000, Long said. He would not disclose details of the payment, but said both parties confirmed the “gift.” Dorrell, a former Razorbacks volleyball player, worked for the Razorbacks Foundation before she was hired by Petrino on March 28. Long said she was one of three finalists out of 159 applicants and got the job after a time frame Long said was “shorter than our normal affirmative action hiring process.”

Smith has caught 699 passes during his career for 10,278 yards with 59 touchdown receptions and holds almost every receiving record in team history. He also has six returns for touchdowns — four on punts and two on kickoffs. Last season he caught 79 passes for 1,394 yards with seven touchdowns playing under new offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski in a pass-first offense. Smith went to the Pro Bowl along with rookie quarterback Cam Newton. “Steve has been a difference

maker at receiver for us since he’s been here,” Hurney said. “It’s always good to keep your core players. We felt like Steve made it very clear that he wanted to finish his career as a Panther. We’re glad he did.” Smith ranks 32nd all-time in NFL history in receiving yards and is coming off his fifth Pro Bowl season. He’s spent all 11 seasons with the Panthers after being selected in the third round out of Utah in 2001.

KINGSTON

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Panthers’ wide receiver Steve Smith expects to finish his career where it began — just like he predicted 11 years ago. Smith, who turns 33 in May, signed a contract extension Tuesday that will likely keep him in Carolina at least through 2015 and likely for the remainder of his career. A person familiar with the deal told the Associated Press that Smith will earn approximately $18 million in guaranteed money over the next three seasons. There is also a club option for the 2016 season. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the terms of the deal have not been announced. During a press conference Tuesday Smith said the opportunity to retire as a Panther would be “extremely special.” He also said it cements the promise he made to general manager Marty Hurney in 2001 prior to signing his first contract. “I told Marty I would be the best Panther player ever to put on a uniform,” Smith said. Although Smith later qualified that remark by saying he believes

NBA ROUNDUP

Celtics top Heat in offensive battle The Associated Press

MIAMI — A week ago, the Boston Celtics beat the Miami Heat with defense. This time, they did it with offense. Paul Pierce scored 27 points, Kevin Garnett added 24 points and nine rebounds, and the Celtics made their first eight shots of the fourth quarter to hold off the Heat 115-107 on Tuesday night. Rajon Rondo posted doubledigit assists for the 18th straight game, extending the NBA’s longest such streak in 20 years with an 18-point, 15-assist effort. Brandon Bass added 12 points and 10 rebounds, while Avery Bradley scored 11 for the Celtics, who shot a season-high 61 percent. LeBron James finished with 36 points, seven rebounds and seven assists for Miami, which got 20 from Dwyane Wade and 18 from Mario Chalmers. Chris Bosh finished with 13 on 5-for-13 shooting. The Celtics beat Miami 91-72 in Boston on April 1, a game the Heat called “unacceptable” after establishing season-lows in scoring and shooting. This one won’t sit any better with the reigning Eastern Conference champions, who ousted the Celtics in five games from last year’s playoffs and could see them in the second round of the upcoming postseason. No team had shot better than 55 percent against the Heat this season, and Boston’s 115 points were two shy of matching a season-high against Miami. Boston improved to 18-7 since the All-Star break, and dealt Miami a blow in the race for the No. 1 seed in the East. The Heat fell 21⁄2 games behind Chicago,

said. “We battled our way through it. We told the team we needed to win this game, and we’ll take it any way we can. And it was an ugly win. But we needed it.” Meyers shook off a 9-3 deficit after four innings, firing back for five runs in the fifth and two more in the sixth to take an improbable 10-9 lead into the final frame. But Borum, on the mound in relief, mixed in three strikeouts with three walks to get out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the seventh to keep the Black Knights (2-1) within a run. Barbacci laced a one-out double to make it 10-10 in the home half. A single, a strikeout and a walk brought up Borum with the bases loaded and two outs. One strike away from extra innings – and, with daylight fading, perhaps a suspended game – Borum reached out and knocked an 0-2 pitch right up the middle for his third hit of the game and a Lehman win. “He got himself in and out of trouble (on the mound and at the plate),” LeValley said of Borum. “He battled his way back and came through for us.” Lake-Lehman had lost in extras to Hanover Area on Thursday and a setback against the Mohawks (1-1) would have dropped the Knights into a hole early in Division II race. That didn’t seem likely in the first half of Tuesday’s contest. A two-run single by Curt Barbacci in the second keyed a 5-1 lead for the Knights, who then opened

the $634 million ballpark that opened last week. At the hourlong news conference Tuesday morning, there was little evidence of Guillen’s roguish charm or quick wit, which have made him a favorite with fans and reporters since he became a major league manager in 2004. Speaking somberly, he took

which played later Tuesday at home against the New York Knicks. A layup by Wade got Miami within 108-103 with 2:22 left, before Garnett made a higharcing jumper that dropped softly through the net, his 11th make in 14 shots. That pretty much described the night. Whenever Miami got close, the Celtics found a way to hold them off. Miami had two shots to tie early in the fourth after being down by as many as 18 earlier, before Garnett made jump shots on four straight possessions, the average length of those makes being 19 feet. A 10-0 run early in the first quarter gave Boston a quick lead — and that wasn’t even the Celtics’ best run of the opening period. Boston scored the last 11 of the first, the run actually becoming 13-0 when Garnett scored to open the second quarter, and Boston’s lead was 35-22. Everything the Celtics wanted, they got. Boston shot 61 percent in the first quarter, 62 percent in the second. Celtics coach Doc Rivers used eight players, all of them making multiple shots by halftime. Of them, the only one who failed to make at least half his shots was Bass, who more than made up for that with six first-half rebounds. Wizards 93, Magic 85 WASHINGTON — Kevin Seraphin took advantage of Dwight Howard’s absence from Orlando’s lineup, getting career highs of 24 points and 13 rebounds to lead Washington. Jordan Crawford scored 21 points, John Wall had 15 and Cartier Martin and James Sinthe bottom of the fourth with six straight hits, highlighted by an RBI triple from Troy Shurites. It was 9-3 headed into the fifth. Meyers answered right away with extra-base hits from Dan Conrad (two-run double), John Zionce (two-run triple) and Matt DeMarco (RBI triple), cutting the lead to 9-8 with no outs. Cody Cutter came on to strand that last runner at third and Lehman temporarily stayed in front. The Mohawks changed that in the sixth on a sacrifice fly by DeMarco, with the go-ahead run scoring on a throwing error. Borum, Shurites and Cole Barbacci all finished with three hits for the Knights. DeMarco (3 RBI) and Zionce did the same for Meyers. The teams combined for five errors on a frigid day, but the most glaring number may have been the 14 runners stranded by the Mohawks. “We didn’t give up when we went down 9-3, but we left a lot of runners on base,” Meyers coach Matt Skrepenak said. “We made a lot of mistakes. We had a lot of opportunities to capitalize and we just failed at those opportunities. “I’m happy with the way we fought back in the ballgame, but we have a lot of work to do.”

full responsibility for his comments, but said they were misinterpreted by Time’s reporter. “It was a personal mistake of the thing I had in my mind and what I said,” Guillen said in Spanish. “What I wanted to say in Spanish, I said in English in a wrong way.” Guillen said he doesn’t love or admire Castro. “I was saying I cannot believe somebody who hurt so many people over the years is still alive,” he said.

Time said Tuesday it stands by its story. Guillen said the uproar he created has left him sad, embarrassed and feeling stupid. He said he accepted the team’s punishment. “When you’re a sportsman, you shouldn’t be involved with politics,” he said. “I’m going to be a Miami guy for the rest of my life. I want to walk in the street with my head up and feel not this bad, the way I feel now.”

Guillen has gotten in trouble before on issues ranging from sexual orientation to illegal immigration. Just last week, he boasted about getting drunk after games. Those episodes quickly faded. But on South Florida’s scale of political incorrectness, praise for Castro is a home run, and it was unclear how long it would take for anger toward Guillen to subside. Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig said the remarks “have no

that I’m about, which is the balance between academics and football,” O’Brien said Tuesday in addressing a regional meeting of Associated Press Sports Editors in State College. “You can win many, many games here. You can win championships here, and you can graduate kids here and the players that play here should be very proud that they are Penn State football players, and that’s where I would start.” O’Brien is overseeing his first spring practice in the midst of his rookie year as a head coach. The primary responsibility right now is to get his players used to new systems, especially on the offensive side of the ball. The annual Blue-White spring game is April 21. A four-month offseason follows, a period during which O’Brien plans to crisscross the state to talk to alumni. It’s part of his ongoing efforts to become more familiar to the Penn State fan base. “No question,” he said Tuesday when asked if he felt responsibility to make peace with alumni upset by the scandal. “What I talk to (players) a lot about, and I would say this to alumni too ... is that our football players, our student-athletes, should have a tremendous amount of pride in being football players at Penn State.” O’Brien said he doesn’t dwell on the past with his team. “We weren’t here when that happened,” he said, referring to the allegations. “At the same time, we’re very mindful of things like child abuse and making sure we have to reach out to victims of child abuse, charitable organizations and things like that.” The team will do more outreach in the offseason, O’Brien said. At the same time, he stressed again that he would remain respectful of the program’s storied traditions and Paterno’s legacy — 409 wins, two national titles and loyal backers that appreciated his philanthropic efforts as well. “When I say ‘change,’ it’s my vision of the program,” he said. “It has nothing to do with how we feel about the previous (50 years) of Penn State football.” With a trial looming for former assistant Jerry Sandusky, who maintains his innocence, the issues aren’t likely to go away any time soon. Penn State trustees have tabbed former FBI director Louis Freeh to conduct an internal investigation, and the NCAA has launched its own inquiry, too. Yet against that backdrop, O’Brien appears to be doing relatively well on the recruiting trail with verbal commitments from several highly rated high school prospects for the Class of 2013. His interactions with recruits’ families have been “very positive,” he said, and he hasn’t heard any concerns from assistants. “You can tell there’s a sense of moving forward, and that’s what we’re doing,” he said. “The other thing that’s really, really important for us to understand too is we’re very up front. We talk to them about our philosophy of the program. It’s about respect ... Those things are somewhat of a preemptive strike.” The transition is simpler for the players — it’s mainly about learning about the new schemes and coaching philosophies. “Coach O’Brien has been intense. It’s been a lot of fun for us,” linebacker Michael Mauti said. “Our team is definitely behind him 100 percent. He’s shown us he’s ready to take over. When he tells us to jump, we’ll say ‘How high?’”

signed a nine-year contract worth $51 million to give the position some stability and overcame a shaky start to be “a rock” according to coach Peter Laviolette. “They play a similar style, they have depth,” Crosby said. “I don’t see a lot of differences.” Attitude included. The players change but the mindset in Philadelphia does not. The Flyers are still aggressive, both on the ice and in front of a microphone. Laviolette didn’t hesitate to call Pittsburgh’s Dan Bylsma “gutless” for sending out a checking line in the late stages of a 6-4 Philadelphia win on April 1, a move that led to a brawl following Joe Vitale’s punishing — if clean — hit on Philadelphia’s Danny Briere. Laviolette grew so incensed he smashed a stick over the boards and began trading barbs with Pittsburgh assistant Tony Granato. The Penguins have tried to take it in stride, brushing aside all the chatter as gamesmanship. Perhaps, but the Flyers have a way of getting underneath the skin of an opponent. Forward Scott Hartnell embraces the villain role better than any player in the league. He talked openly about wanting to punch Malkin, Crosby and defenseman Kris Letang in the face if given the opportunity and has predicted the series will turn into a “bloodbath.” Maybe not the best thing for a team that’s down a few pints. Briere missed the final week of the regular season with a sore back after taking the hit from Vitale. Defenseman Nicklas Grossman also went out with a lower body injury sustained in the first period of the April 1 meeting and remains day-to-day. Yet even shorthanded, the Flyers know they can’t afford to change the way they play. “I think it’s going to be a rough series,” Giroux said. “It won’t be easy. They want to win as bad as us. We’re a young team with a lot of energy and we’ve got to make sure we go out there and make sure we outwork the Penguins. It’s going to be a tough one.” One in which the Flyers will need to rely heavily on Bryzgalov to win. The 31-year-old netminder played some of the finest hockey of his career in March, posting three straight shutouts at one point. The eccentric, contemplative Bryzgalov, who became a breakout star while being featured in HBO’s “24/7” series leading up to Philadelphia’s Winter Classic matchup with the New York Rangers, is hardly intimidated by the Penguins. “You know, I’m not afraid of anything,” Bryzgalov said. “I’m afraid of bears — bears in the forest.” Consol Energy Center should be bear-free tonight. It won’t be pressure-free, however, and Bryzgalov hasn’t exactly sparkled in the postseason recently. He hasn’t been on a team that won a playoff series since playing for Anaheim and was miserable last spring as the Phoenix Coyotes were swept in the first round by Detroit. Laviolette insists his goaltender is in a better place now, even on a team filled with playoff newcomers. There are no such issues with the Penguins, where the core has been intact for several years. Yet the dynasty that looked almost inevitable after the club made the Cup finals in 2008 then won it the next year has not materialized.

place in our game” and were “offensive to an important part of the Miami community and others throughout the world.” “As I have often said, baseball is a social institution with important social responsibilities,” Selig added in a statement. “All of our 30 clubs play significant roles within their local communities, and I expect those who represent Major League Baseball to act with the kind of respect and sensitivity that the game’s many cultures deserve.”

Marlins officials said Guillen still had the support of the organization. “We believe in him,” said Samson, the team president. “We believe in his apology. We believe everybody deserves a second chance.” He said he expected no further punishment from MLB. Guillen apologized over the weekend after his remarks were published in Time, then left his team in Philadelphia, where the Marlins were playing the Phillies, and flew to Miami.

DeNaples must leave board

B R I E F

Market decline continues

The stock market extended its longest and deepest slump of the year Tuesday, caught between a recurring nightmare of European debt and the beginning of uncertain corporate earnings reports at home. The Dow Jones industrial average saw its biggest decline of the year and third triple-digit loss in four days. A five-day losing streak has shaved about 550 points off the Dow, about half what it gained from January through March. Alcoa, the aluminum company, surged 5.3 percent after the market closed. Minutes after the closing bell, the company reported profit of 9 cents per share. Analysts expected a loss of 4 cents. Alcoa was the first of the 30 stocks in the Dow to report its quarterly results.

Louis A. DeNaples must resign from the board of First National Community Bancorp and give up his controlling interests in FNCB and another financial institution, the Federal Reserve ruled Tuesday.

The order requires that the divested shares be transferred to third parties unrelated to DeNaples. The order applies to Dunmorebased First National Community Bancorp and Urban Financial Group Inc., of Bridgeport, Conn. In 2008, federal regulators barred DeNaples from serving as chairman of the FNCB board. His brother, Dominick L. DeNaples, now serves as chairman.

his fitness to hold a casino license constituted entry into a “pretrial diversion program,” an interpretation DeNaples had contested. That ruling, in turn, makes DeNaples ineligible to serve on the bank board. DeNaples received a license to operate Mount Airy Casino Resort but subsequently transferred majority ownership to trusts in the name of his children and grandchildren. The order that DeNaples resign from the bank boards takes effect 30 days after the decision is served to him. DeNaples was given 30 days after

NEW YORK — Best Buy CEO Brian Dunn is stepping down from the nation’s largest consumer electronics retailer, a company that has been criticized for not responding quickly enough to growing competition and the changing shopping habits of Americans. Best Buy said Dunn Tuesday that it was a mutual decision, and that there were no disagreements with Dunn on any matter relating to operations, financial controls, policies or procedures. Dunn, a 28-year veteran of Best Buy, had been CEO and director since June 2009, and the company said it was time for new leadership given the challenges the company faces. Best Buy said that it has already created a search committee for identifying and choosing its new CEO. Board member Mike Mikan, 39, will serve as interim CEO while the company searches for a permanent replacement. Richard Schulze will continue as chairman. “I think the departure is long overdue,” said Brian Sozzi, chief equities analyst at NBG Productions, an independent research firm. “Best Buy’s operational strategy has been way off the mark and late to address the fundamental industry upheaval.” Best Buy is trying to become nimbler and avoid the fate of former rival Circuit City, which liquidated its business in 2009.

Nike wins Tebow spat

Reebok has thrown in the towel in its effort to sell New York Jets Tim Tebow jerseys and T-shirts. The terms of a settlement with Nike were disclosed Tuesday. Reebok must eliminate from the sales chain any Tebow clothing it manufactured after the quarterback’s trade last month from the Denver Broncos to the Jets. Nike had sued in Manhattan, saying Reebok was infringing on its licensing rights.

Saab bankruptcy costs GM

The value of bankrupt Saab Automobile’s assets covers less than a third of its debts and only some preferential creditors will get any money back, the company’s trustees said Tuesday. The debts include claims of about $89 million from former owner General Motors Corp. Saab also owes GM about $322 million paid for preferential shares but GM would be entitled to that only if the bankruptcy produced a surplus, which it won’t, the trustees said.

Gambling revenue for Nevada casinos was up 5.7 percent in February, state regulators said Tuesday. The 3.3 percent growth rate on the Las Vegas Strip was outpaced in all but five areas in the state. The Strip accounted for 56.9 percent of Nevada gambling revenue in February, compared with 58.2 percent in February 2011.

Wireless providers to disable stolen phones By ERIC TUCKER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Major wireless service companies have agreed to disable cellphones after they are reported stolen under a strategy intended to deter the theft and resale of wireless devices. The system announced Tuesday relies on a centralized database that officials hope to be operating within six months. The database will record smartphones’ unique identifying numbers. That way, wireless carriers that receive a report of a stolen smartphone will be able to recognize the device and

unique identifying numbers. New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said cellphone thefts have been a persistent problem in the city even as other crime has dropped in the last decade. He likened the new approach to “draining the swamp to fight malaria.” The FCC said smartphone manufacturers will also implement automatic prompts that encourage users to lock their devices with a password. The industry has also agreed to create a campaign educating consumers about how to protect their cellphones and to release quarterly updates on their progress.

Cellphone carriers covering roughly 90 percent of U.S. subscribers are participating, the FCC said. The goal is to render stolen cellphones useless, drying up the market for them and removing the incentive to steal them. “What we’re announcing here today will make a stolen cellphone about as worthless as an empty wallet,” said Sen. Charles Schumer, who called smartphones “catnip for criminals” because they’re valuable, exposed and easy to steal. Schumer, D-N.Y., is sponsoring legislation that would make it a federal crime to tamper with smartphones’

block it from being used again. Major U.S. cities have been reporting increases in smartphone thefts as criminals steal devices to resell — sometimes overseas — as part of sophisticated operations. Officials say cellphones are now taken in 38 percent of all robberies in Washington, and more than 40 percent of robberies in New York City involve phones. Many of the robberies are violent, resulting in either serious injury or sometimes death, police say. D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier said her department had devoted considerable resources in recent months to the problem, but “that’s just not enough, not in a crime as complex as this one is.”

Today will be another payback day for all that warm, sunny weather we had last month. A zone of low pressure nearby has delivered colder temperatures for today and with converging air currents and freezing temperatures aloft, more April showers will form. At times, icy showers will pass through, offering a mix of rain, snow and snow pellets, sometimes referred to as soft hail. Highs today will remain in the 40s and again tonight lows will stay above freezing. Thursday will be another cold day, but without showers. Then on Friday expect a sunny and warmer day. - Tom Clark

Cinnamon and cherries mixed with large-grained Israeli couscous, also called pearl couscous, dress up an otherwise-ordinary dish of cauliflower. For extra pop, the couscous often comes in three colors.

CAULIFLOWER

ROAST OR SAUTÉ THIS VERY VERSATILE VEGGIE By SUSAN M. SELASKY

Detroit Free Press

auliflower has come a long way from just sitting on a veggie tray. Several years ago, it was popular in low-carbohydrate diets. When cooked and mashed with milk or cream, it has the texture and nearly the taste of mashed potatoes. • Some may wonder whether you should blanch broccoli or cauliflower before freezing, and then, how to cook it. • These cruciferous vegetables contain properties that may help ward off certain cancers. They also are excellent sources of vitamin C and fiber.

Before freezing broccoli or cauliflower, it’s best to blanch or steam them first. For broccoli, trim off the stalks and cut them into pieces; separate the crown into florets. For cauliflower, cut away the stem end and cut the florets from the core, cutting as close to the core as possible. To blanch, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and have ready a large bowl of ice water. Place broccoli or cauliflower in the boiling water for about 3 minutes. Drain and immediately plunge into the ice water to stop the cooking. (The icy bath also helps retain the broccoli’s color.) To steam, cut as directed above and steam for 5 minutes. Chill as above. Once chilled, pack the vegetables in containers or freezer bags. Keep 10 to 12 months in the freezer. Boiling can make cauliflower watery because it already contains a lot of water. Sauteing works well, but perhaps the best choice is roasting, which brings out cauliflower’s sweet flavor. Choose cauliflower heads that are heavy and creamy white with no dark spots or signs of decay. The cabbage-like leaves should be bright green with no yellowing. Cauliflower, well-wrapped, keeps a good week in the refrigerator. To use, remove the leaves and trim the stem end from the core. Cut away the florets from the core, cutting as close to the core as possible. You also can cut the core into small pieces.

To roast, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place florets on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with a few pinches of kosher or sea salt; toss to coat. Roast about 20 to 25 minutes or until the florets are slightly golden. Another roasting option is to cut the cauliflower into steaks. Trim the stem end away and steady the whole head, core side down. Slice into 1/2 — to 1-inch-thick pieces. Place on a sided roasting pan that’s been drizzled with olive oil. Give the cauliflower another drizzle of oil and season as desired. Roast until nicely browned on both sides, about 10 minutes per side. ••• SAUTEED CAULIFLOWER WITH ISRAELI COUSCOUS Makes: 6 side dish servings Preparation time: 15 minutes Total time: 30 minutes Look for Israeli, also called pearl, couscous in the ethnic aisle of some grocery stores. It’s sold plain or tri-color. Israeli couscous grains are larger than traditional couscous. 1 1/2 cups Israeli (pearl) couscous 1 tablespoon olive oil 4 cups cauliflower florets 1 small shallot, peeled, sliced Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste Pinch of cinnamon, optional 1/4 cup dried tart cherries or golden raisins 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar 1/4 cup chopped parsley or snipped chives See CAULIFLOWER, Page 3C

HELLO, CHEF’S Corner readers. It’s me again, the non-cooking traveler. Today I’d like to tell you about a dish from the beautiful Hawaiian Islands. A few years ago, I accompanied my mom on an educational seminar in Oahu, Hawaii. For a tourist, there is a lot to see and do in Hawaii: black-sand beaches, pineapple plantations, volcanoes, natural waterfalls and, of course, a luau. Well, I am naturally attracted to the color yellow, and when I saw this beautiful pineapple relish adorning one of their favorite fishes, I knew I had to try this lusciouslooking creation. How awesome is it that Vanderlyn’s now has a direct connection with a fresh-fish purveyor from Hawaii? The dish Chef John has re-created for me is Mahi Mahi with Pineapple Relish. He accents it with Pina Colada aioli, which only enhances the island-flavor experience. If you are like me and prefer someone else to do the cooking, we will offer this dish at Vanderlyn’s Restaurant this weekend. For reservations or additional features call Vanderlyn’s at 283-6260.

Spring for fresh, grilled asparagus By ELIZABETH KARMEL For The Associated Press

AP PHOTO

Prosciutto-wrapped grilled spring asparagus.

I have always loved asparagus. But the minute I tasted grilled asparagus, it went from a vegetable I liked to one that I was madly in love with. Every time I make it — seasoned with my basic grilling trilogy of olive oil, salt and pepper — people ask for the recipe. That’s because grilling transforms the asparagus so much that most people think I am pulling their leg when I tell them it has just those ingredients. Most people don’t realize what a powerful flavor enhancer the heat of the grill is. And this simple recipe really shows just how powerful it is.

It works because the high heat of the grill causes the natural sugars in the asparagus (as well as many other vegetables) to caramelize, accentuating its nutty, sweet flavors. Though asparagus is available all year long, it’s a sure sign that spring is here when the local asparagus begins to arrive at the grocer. I prefer the thick bottomed stalks that snap instead of bend with tight tops and a plump green look to them. Asparagus also comes in white (popular in France) and purple varieties, but I think the green variety is more tender, sweeter and usually is less expensive. If you crave thin asparagus, save it for the saute pan. It’s much too delicate to hold

up to the grill. In fact, for grilling the thicker the stalk the better. I usually buy asparagus the day I am going to cook it, but you can keep it fresh in the refrigerator the same way you keep parsley fresh — cut off the bottoms and place the entire bunch upright in a glass of water, similar to a bouquet of flowers. When you are ready to cook it, you need to trim the bottoms. You have two options. You can snap the stalks one at a time. Or, if you’ve kept the bunch intact (usually held tight by a rubber band), lay it on its side on the cutting board and use a knife to cut just below the See ASPARAGUS, Page 3C

band. I then wash my asparagus, dry it and place it in a zip-close plastic bag. Drizzle olive oil in the bag, seal it and “massage” the stalks so that all the exposed surfaces have a light coating of oil. This is essential for juicy grilled asparagus. Otherwise, it will dry out and might stick to the grates. My motto — oil the food, not the grates! Grilled asparagus needs no adornment to enjoy, but in honor of spring ham I am wrapping the room-temperature grilled asparagus with translucent slices of Prosciutto for an antipasto appetizer all in one

bite. You can take it even further and dress it up as a gorgeous salad with a dollop of buratta or fresh mozzarella and a drizzle of olive oil, coarse sea salt and cracked black pepper. Either way, it’s the perfect way to celebrate spring! ••• PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED GRILLED SPRING ASPARAGUS Look for fat firm stalks with deep green or purplish tips. Also check the bottom of the spears. If they are dried up, chances are they have been sitting around for too long. Start to finish: 25 minutes Servings: 8 1 pound fresh thick asparagus 2 to 4 tablespoons extra-virgin

olive oil 1 teaspoon kosher salt (use salt according to taste) 1/2 pound thinly sliced prosciutto Heat the grill to medium. Trim off the tough bottoms of the asparagus spears. You can use a knife and cut them roughly two-thirds of the way down, or by hand. For the latter methods, one at a time, grasp each stalk by both ends and bend it gently until it snaps at its natural point of tenderness. Wash and dry the spears. Place the asparagus in a large zip-close plastic bag. Add enough oil to allow you to massage the spears and coat them entirely with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and massage again. Leave the asparagus in the bag until ready to cook. Place the asparagus on the See ASPARAGUS, Page 5C

Harsh comments on her hair color make wild college student feel blue Dear Abby: What’s the best thing to do when someone insults me for being myself? My hair has been blue for the last two semesters of college. I’m young, and my family is letting me express my “wild” side while I’m in school. Six months ago I went to meet my ex-boyfriend’s mother, and the first thing she said to me was, “You’re one of my son’s phases, right? Boys don’t actually bring girls with blue hair home to Mama.” Abby, it was with my ex’s encouragement that I dyed my hair this bright color. My family, my church and most of my teachers think it’s OK. Is there a social stigma attached to exotically

DEAR ABBY ADVICE dyed hair? And what’s the best way to react when someone insults me for just being myself? — Nice Person in Walland, Tenn. Dear Nice Person: Whether there’s a stigma attached to looking different depends on who is doing the looking. Some people find it off-putting. Did you tell her that it was with her son’s encouragement that you dyed your hair blue? It would have been interesting to see her reaction. When others comment about the unusual color of your hair, instead of treating it as an insult, smile and

say, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Then change the subject. Dear Abby: My husband and I have been married for 26 years. I love him, but he’s a terrible listener. He’s not that way with everyone. When we’re out socializing, he’s a good conversationalist and a polite listener. It’s when we are home that he never lets me finish a sentence. When we’re alone, I can’t express a complete opinion or thought without being interrupted. He just cuts me off and starts talking on the subject. I’m an intelligent woman with valid opinions, but he would rather hear the sound of his own voice than mine. How do I get him to let me speak and not interrupt? — Silenced in Illinois

CRYPTOQUOTE

Dear Silenced: Is your husband controlling in other aspects of your relationship? If not, the problem may be that you have been together so long he thinks he knows where your sentences are going, so he responds before you complete your entire thought. One way to handle this would be to tell your husband how patronized it makes you feel. Another would be to interrupt HIM by saying, “Excuse me! I wasn’t finished talking.” Dear Abby: My sister, “Beth,” and I are very close, but a constant source of contention is her boyfriend, “Brody.” Beth and Brody have broken up several times, and each time it happens, she fills me in on every horrible thing he has ever done.

They always seem to get back together, and then Beth expects me to like him despite everything I know. Does the fact that she forgives and forgets mean that I have to do the same? — Too Much Info in Ohio Dear Too Much Info: No, it doesn’t. But you should be civil, even if you’re not warm and friendly. Then cross your fingers and hope your sister recognizes less drama is healthier and the relationship ends soon. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, selfaddressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You don’t have to wait for a wish to be granted in order to be thankful for it. You’ll issue thanks in advance whenever possible, letting others know that you’re already happy. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Whether it’s a casual connection or a solid friendship, it would be unwise to base the relationship on what you want to happen. If what is already happening isn’t so great, this is a good time to chalk it up to experience. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are so imaginative that it will be important not to let your imagination roam into dark places. Why scare yourself? Music and humor can all be used to keep your mind reaching for the light. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Trust your free associations,. People will try to override those initial feelings. Take note of what you thought before you thought what they wanted you to think. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Fear of travel, or hodophobia, is so common that even the most adventurous have experienced it to some degree. Fearful or not, you have much to gain. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re not the same person you were. However, the seeds of who you are now were always inside you; you grew them. And different seeds are inside you now. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your ability to concentrate grows stronger when you’re extremely interested in your subject matter. Each new piece of information adds to the magnetic appeal.

MINUTE MAZE JUMBLE BY MICHEAL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In order to communicate well, your attention has to be on the conversation. Part of you doesn’t want to communicate at all. You’d rather quietly work on your projects. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you’re questioning your lifestyle, you’re not alone. Profound questions will come to mind for many Sagittarians now, and the answers to these questions are surprisingly simple! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A meeting goes other than planned. Could you have played the situation another way in order to get the response of your dreams? Likely not. So don’t take it personally. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Someone is thinking of you and trying to figure out how to get to you. Maybe this person is already in contact with you, technically speaking. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A super-smart someone will help you with a problem. Finally, you’ll be able to move past this and on to a project that’s been on the back burner for what has felt like an eternity. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 11). You’ll explore your talents and make money with them this year. Attractions develop through the next six weeks. There’s something you dearly desire, which leads you to approach life with a more passionate level of intensity in August and September. November is your chance to heal a family relationship. Virgo and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 2, 35, 49 and 19.
