WILKES-BARRE TWP. – A husband and wife who were victims of a homicide/suicide Friday and Saturday were well-respected in their town and are fondly remembered, according to friends who knew them for many years.

Chester Welebob INSIDE: See had served as a townChester and ship councilman for 20 Mildred’s obituyears, and his wife, aries on Page 8A Mildred, was a wellloved nursery school teacher before she retired.

“They both cared for each other a lot. They did a lot of things all over town over the years.

It’s so sad, so tragic,” said John Quinn, a former township councilman whose father was Chester’s basketball coach in high school.

Wilkes-Barre police on Friday night found 82-year-old Mildred Welebob, a resident of St. Luke’s Villa, in a wheelchair behind a vehicle at the rear of the facility’s parking lot on East Northampton Street. Acting Luzerne County Coroner Bill Lisman said she died of a single gunshot wound, with the cause of death ruled homicide.

A short time later, Chester Welebob, of Wilkes-Barre Township, was found dead inside his car in Wilkes-Barre Township. He was pronounced dead of a single gunshot wound at 12:15 a.m. Saturday, Lisman said, with the cause of death ruled suicide.

You can always spot a negative ad because it follows a similar pattern. First get a photo of a candidate and Photoshop it to make him/her look like a cross between Fred Gwynne and Lou Ferrigno.

No more fun for ‘Games’

By DAVID GERMAIN AP Movie Writer

LOS ANGELES — The date-night movies “Think Like a Man” and “The Lucky One” finally have knocked “The Hunger Games” off its No. 1 box-office perch.

“Think Like a Man,” based on Steve Harvey’s dating-advice best-seller, debuted as the top weekend draw with $33 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. That’s almost double what studio executives had expected for the Sony Screen Gems ensemble movie, which features Michael Ealy, Taraji P. Henson and Gabrielle Union.

The Warner Bros. drama “The Lucky One,” starring Zac Efron in an adaptation of Nicholas Sparks’ romance novel, opened at No. 2 with $22.8 million. It also came in a bit above studio expectations going into the weekend.

“Think Like a Man” was produced for about $13 million and took in nearly that much on opening day Friday alone, with business getting even better on Saturday. Sony executives had figured the movie might pull in about $17 million for the whole weekend.

“It was a wild ride. It just got better and better as the night went on Friday. Then to be up so much on Saturday,” said Rory Bruer, head of distribution at Sony.

Lionsgate’s blockbuster “The Hunger Games” took in $14.5 million, slipping to third-place after four weekends at No. 1. The film raised its domestic total to $356.9 million.

“The Hunger Games” added $13 million overseas, where its total now stands at $215.8 million, for a worldwide haul of $573 million.

Disney’s nature documentary “Chimpanzee” opened at No. 4 with $10.2 million.

Despite some healthy newcomers, Hollywood’s overall revenues dipped for the second weekend in a row. Domestic receipts totaled $129 million, down 5 percent from the same weekend last year, when “Rio” led with $26.3 million, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com.

Revenues likely will decline again next weekend, with no huge newcomers expected to come close to the $86.2 million debut of “Fast Five” over that same weekend last year.

But business should shoot back up after that as the superhero ensemble “The Avengers” launches one of Hollywood’s biggest summer lineups ever over the first weekend of May. Paramount’s 3-D version of James Cameron’s blockbuster “Titanic” added $5 million to bring its three-week domestic total to $52.8 million. The film’s lifetime domestic haul now stands at $653.6 million.

lions.

A source close to the Paterno family says renaming the field would still be “a tremendous and humbling honor,” but it “has always been a fan-driven matter. It was never important to Joe.” So in January, when Penn State tried to use the issue as leverage to get the family to sign a full release in exchange for paying the full contract, the family didn’t budge, the source said.

Tensions, already smoldering under the surface between the first family of Penn State and university leadership, have exploded just short of all-out war since January.

Alumni reaction to the board of trustees was harsh when Paterno was fired days after former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky was charged with molesting 10 boys and two Penn State officials were charged with lying about what they knew to a grand jury.

Hunt for Ariz. girl continues

By TERRY TANG Associated Press

TUCSON, Ariz. — Investigators found “suspicious circumstances around a possible entry point” at the home of a 6-year-old Arizona girl whose disappearance has prompted a massive search, with more than 150 law enforcement officers trying to figure out whether she was abducted, a police spokeswoman said Sunday.

Tucson police Sgt. Maria Hawke wouldn’t comment Sunday on whether the entry point was a bedroom window or a door. But family friend Mary Littlehorn said she heard from others close to the family that a window screen in the girl’s bedroom had been knocked down.

The parents of first-grader Isabel Mercedes Celis have said they last saw her in her bedroom at 11 p.m. Friday, according to Hawke. She was discovered missing at

about 8 a.m. Saturday, and the parents phoned 911 minutes later.

Officers kept the whole neighborhood block where Isabel lives cordoned off for a second day and fanned out Celis over a wide area looking for clues to the possible kidnapping. A fourth search of a three-mile radius around the home was completed Sunday afternoon in temperatures that reached the high-90s, police Lt. Fabian Pacheco said at a Sunday evening news conference.

Pacheco wouldn’t comment on the suspicious “entry point,” saying: “I don’t want to compromise anything.”

Earlier Sunday, Tucson police chief Roberto Villasenor said officers had served at least two search warrants. The girl’s

4 kids die in La. home fire; mom charged

By HOLBROOK MOHR Associated Press

Four unattended children died in a mobile home fire in Louisiana and their mother was charged Sunday with four counts of negligent homicide for allegedly leaving them alone, authorities said.

Capt. Doug Cain, a spokesman for Louisiana Department of Public Safety, told The Associated Press that the fire began just before midnight Saturday in the town of Rayne, about 70 miles west of Baton Rouge in southern Louisiana.

Cain said the children who died were ages 2, 5, 7 and 8.

He said their mother, 26year-old Shaqueta McDade, was arrested and charged

Penn State went on the defensive, publicly giving a series of explanations for why it chose not to allow the 85-year-old to retire as he had planned in January.

Days later, he was diagnosed with cancer and died from complications Jan. 22, igniting fan displeasure that he was not honored while alive.

The family stayed quiet until after his death, but in response to statements by board members, newly selected President Rodney Erickson, university counsel and spokesmen, they have made a few public zings that indicate the relationship was incredibly tense.

Just Friday, the family released a statement saying that over the last few months, “our family has been subjected to a series of false and misleading statements that seek to justify the board’s actions by denigrating Joe Paterno’s reputation.”

“We take no joy in our differences with the board and university, but we will never waver in our defense of Joe Paterno’s record and our advocacy for due process.”

with four counts of negligent homicide. She was being held at the Acadia County

dal-related town hall meetings with students and alumni, Erickson said Penn State would find a way to honor Paterno “in time.”

Specifics have never been discussed publicly.

The family was granted use of the Bryce Jordan Center on campus for a public memorial and the spiritual center for his viewing and private funeral.

But after the contract details were released this week by Penn State -- which also drew public criticism from the family since the university called it a settlement and the family disputed there was any -- a university spokesman was quoted in the Centre Daily Times saying the contract payment had been delayed because of discussion of issues that weren’t worked out with the family, including “naming issues.”

The source close to the family denied that.

“There were no naming issues in discussion. It was never pursued,” the source said. “[The family is] upset the university makes it sound like it was something

Jail.

Rayne police officers interviewed the mother after the fire and arrested her because “she is suspected of leaving the children unattended,” Cain said.

Dr. Mark Dawson, the Acadia Parish coroner, also said the four children were home alone when they died, but he was traveling Sunday and had not received a full report on the matter.

Dawson said he had no other details immediately available.

Cain said the mobile home was fully engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived.

The children were found inside the charred remains of the white mobile home after

[the family] wanted.”

After Paterno’s death, the university offered the family three items in exchange for a full release, which would have prevented the family from suing the university and from publicly speaking negatively about it.

Those were: • Naming the stadium after Paterno.

• An apology for how Paterno was fired by phone. (This had already been made before Paterno died.)

• Honoring the contract that was eventually honored anyway last week.

It’s not surprising Paterno did not want the stadium named after him. He was always uncomfortable with the statue placed outside of Beaver Stadium in 2001.

At Saturday’s Blue-White game, life-size cardboard Paterno cutouts and “Joe Knows Football” T-shirts were as popular as ever.

His son Jay Paterno apparently signed one of the petitions for renaming the field -- an effort led by Blake Tobias Jr., who is a Schuyl-

parents, identified by friends as Becky and Sergio Celis, were helpful as police worked to find their youngest child, he said. He said police were still classifying the case as a “suspicious disappearance/ possible abduction.”

“We’renotrulinganythingoutoftheinvestigation at this point because we really need to keep our mind open about all the information that’s been brought to us,” Villasenor said. “The family has been cooperating with us.”

Littlehorn, who gathered Sunday with other family friends at a police command post, said authorities separated the two parents for hours Saturday as they questioned them. She said it was difficult for them knowing their little girl was out there somewhere.

“She hasn’t been allowed to help look for her daughter,” Littlehorn said of Becky Celis.

The Tobias duo and a team of volunteers walked from tailgate to tailgate asking for signatures and were close to 60,000 names by kickoff.

A few months ago, the late coach’s son Scott Paterno sent an email giving him the “OK,” Blake Tobias Sr. said. He said he also has the support of the James A. Beaver family.

Under Tobias’ plan, Beaver’s name would stay on the stadium and Paterno’s would be on the field. Beaver, the 20th governor of Pennsylvania and a Civil War Union general, donated the money to support the first football program at Penn State, he said.

The Tobiases have also reached out to similar group efforts -some that started as many as four years ago. There is also a team trying to rename Park Avenue, the road to the stadium, Paterno Way.

LOCAL SALARY ISSUES Home rule charter allows altering compensation before new term begins

County Council to discuss controller’s pay

By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Luzerne County Council members will discuss the elected controller’s pay this year because the home rule charter allows them to alter the compensation at least 12 months before a new term begins.

The controller’s seat will be up for re-election next year, with the winner taking office in January 2014. Incumbent Walter Griffith has said he plans to run again.

The controller pay has been $36,562 for years.

Past commissioners dis-

cussed increasing the salary over the past decade but never acted.

Under the old governGriffith ment system, a single row officer salary couldn’t be increased without raising the compensation of other elected row officers and commissioners the same percentage.

This package deal isn’t an issue with the new home rule government because the elect-

ed treasurer, recorder of deeds, register of wills, sheriff, coroner, prothonotary, clerk of courts and three commissioner posts have been eliminated.

According to news archives, the last row officer salary increase was adopted in 1992 because elected officials had been earning the same pay their predecessors received in 1979.

Raises that had been approved in 1982 were discontinued in 1987 after public outcry, and the salaries had reverted to 1979 levels.

The controller in Luzerne County is paid less than coun-

terparts in the 11 other similarly-sized third-class counties in the state, according to figures from the Pennsylvania State Association of County Controllers.

Northampton, with a controller salary of $39,000, is the only other third-class county that pays the controller under $40,000, the association said.

The remaining salaries, according to the association: Berks, $78,526; Chester, $70,240; Cumberland, $65,403; Dauphin, $82,950; Erie, $61,935; Lackawanna, $66,174; Lancaster, $79,369; Lehigh,

$62,500; Westmoreland, $62,152; and York, $72,712.

At minimum, the compensation warrants discussion, council members agree.

Council Chairman Jim Bobeck said the discussion should focus on the appropriate pay and responsibilities of the position, not the current office holder.

“We’re not making a decision on any current person, but simply what is best for the county for the future,” Bobeck said.

“We have to pay an appropriate See CONTROLLER, Page 14A

Lost lives remembered Area’s Jewish community marks Holocaust

By JOE DOLINSKY Times Leader Intern

W

ILKES-BARRE – Members of the Jewish faith gathered Sunday to commemorate the lives and heroism of those who died in the Holocaust. • The Jewish Community Center of Wyoming Valley commemorated Yom HaShoah at a special service featuring the testimony and perspective of guest speakers before culminating with a torch-lighting ceremony.

Wilkes-Barre resident Andrew Klein was one of about 100 people attending Sunday’s service.

“It’s a day to come out and honor the memory of those who died,” said Klein.

“But it’s also about remembering the people who never got to live out their lives,” he said.

Traditionally observed on the 27th day of the Hebrew month of Nisan, Yom HaShoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day, is observed annually as a day of commemoration for the estimated six million Jews killed during World War II. The date was chosen to mark the day in which Al-

lied troops liberated the first Nazi concentration camp in Germany in 1945.

Sharing her knowledge on the Holocaust was guest speaker Laurel Leff, journalist and author of “Buried by the Times: The Holocaust and America’s Most Important Newspaper.”

Currently an associate professor of journalism at Northeastern University, Leff spent years researching the Holocaust and its lack of coverage in American newspapers like the New York Times.

To date, she has written several scholarly publications on the Jewish people and the Holocaust.

In her speech, Leff reminded those in attendance to honor the memories of friends and relatives by remembering their sacrifices.

“There are fewer and fewer survivors remaining,” Leff said. “So it becomes even more of a burden for us to do that.”

In addition to remembering those who died, Leff urged the audience to be conscious of what people might be capable of.

“The thing I want to have people take away is that there are people who are capable of doing terrible things,” she said.

“It’s up to us as a human race to make sure that doesn’t happen,” she said.

Sunday’s service was organized through the efforts of Jewish Community Center Yom HaShoah Committee members David Schwager and Constance Stern.

An outpouring of support for animal shelters

By STEVE FONDO Times Leader Correspondent

PLAINS TWP. -- Animal lovers came out to OverPour Bar on Sunday to listen to live music and show their support for the local SPCA and The Blue Chip No Kill Animal Shelter.

The all day charity event featured a raffle table filled with gifts and services certificates donated by small business in an effort to support the local animal entities.

“I went to the SPCA to find a companion for my 5-year-old Peek-aPom,” said tavern owner Eileen Rosengrant. “While I was there, I decided I wanted to do something to help raise awareness about what these or-

Boy’s disappearance spawned parents’ age of anxiety

By MEGHAN BARR Associated Press

NEW YORK — A generation of sheltered American children grew up in the shadow of anxiety that fell over this country one day in 1979, when a little boy with a charming grin vanished from a Manhattan street corner.

They never knew his name or saw that angelic-looking face. But their parents would never forget it.

For some, their caution was simply a result of what they read in news reports.

Others, including Jim Stratton, had an immediate and very personal reason to be afraid.

“It sent a chill through everybody,” said Stratton, 73, whose son was in the same neighborhood play group as Etan Patz, the 6-year-old who never boarded his school bus on May 25, 1979. “You could not leave your child for a minute.

Anywhere. It was like a dark cloud had come over the neighborhood.”

Before Etan disappeared, the notion that a child could be abducted right off the street, in broad daylight, was not familiar. Children roamed their hometowns freely, unencumbered by fear.

They could walk to school and the bus stop and just about anywhere they pleased all by themselves. That all changed after Etan set off for school in his favorite pilot’s cap and corduroy jacket and did not return.

A new age of paranoia had grabbed hold of the national psyche. And so many years later, that paralyzing sense of fear has yet to fully release its grip.

“In many ways, it was the end of an era of innocence,” said Ernie Allen, president of the National Center for Exploited and Missing Children. “And parents suddenly became much more protective and much more hovering over their children.”

Etan was one of the first missing chil-

Investigators work the crime scene in the 1979 disappearance of 6-year-old Etan Patz in New York, Sunday. Heavy rains expected in the region halted the investigation on Sunday, but work in the basement is expected to resume this morning.

Before Etan disappeared, the notion that a child could be abducted right off the street, in broad daylight, was not familiar.

dren whose face would appear on a milk carton. In the coming years more faces would follow, mutely appealing for help from a public that began, for the first time, to mobilize on a grand scale in its efforts to find them. Even now, after more than 30 years, we still haven’t given up hope for a resolution, for answers to every parent’s worst nightmare.

Last week, authorities began ripping

up an old basement near Etan’s SoHo loft with the aim of finding his remains, spurred on by a cadaver-sniffing dog that picked up a scent there.

“He was here the whole time for all of us,” said Cass Collins, Stratton’s wife, who has been haunted by the boy’s disappearance ever since. “He was always in our thoughts.”

The ones who never made it home are

painfully seared in the nation’s collective memory. There was 6-year-old Adam Walsh, kidnapped and killed in 1981 when he wandered away from his mother at a department store in Hollywood, Fla. There was 12-year-old paperboy Johnny Gosch, never again seen after vanishing on his newspaper route in 1982 in West Des Moines, Iowa.

There was Jacob Wetterling, abducted and killed by a masked gunman in 1989 while riding his bicycle home from a convenience store in St. Joseph, Minn.

“There were some kids who biked around with a switchblade in their basket after it happened,” said Alison Feigh, 34, who grew up with Wetterling and sat next to him in sixth-grade math class.

“There was a change of our innocence at that time. In sixth grade, I didn’t even have the word abduction — that wasn’t even part of my vocabulary.”

Now a program coordinator for the Jacob Wetterling Resource Center, which teaches parents and children how to build safer communities, Feigh is fighting for a world in which children can explore beyond the edge of their driveways in this era of helicopter parenting.

“We want kids to walk around smart and not scared,” she said.

But how to shake the fear? Collins, a writer, has two grown sons, one of whom was a rather anxious kid, often fretting about venturing off on his own, she said.

Last week, when she read about the renewed search for Etan and felt that old familiar gut punch to her stomach, Collins decided to apologize to her son.

“I said to him, ‘If you got a sense from us that the world is a scary place, it came from Etan Patz,”’ she said, her voice choked with tears. “That’s where it came from. And I’m sorry if we did do that. Because it’s not a good thing to imbue in a child.”

Yukie Ohta, now 43, was 10 years old when Etan disappeared from SoHo, where she grew up. They used to play in the same basement that is now being torn up by investigators. “I would never let my child take the bus alone at age 8 or 10, but we all did when we were kids,” Ohta said. “I think it was just a different time and place.”

U.S., Afghanistan make key deal

B R I E F

Pact crucial to U.S. exit strategy as it creates rules for American forces who stay after withdrawal deadline.

By HEIDI VOGT Associated Press

Overhanging threat

A plume of ash and steam rise from the Popocatepetl volcano overshadowing the Catholic church Nuestra Señora de los Remedios or Our Lady of Remedies in Cholula, in the Mexican state of Puebla Sunday. Popo, as the volcano is commonly known, has put out small eruptions of ash almost daily since a round of eruptive activity began in 1994. A week ago, the eruptions started growing larger. Authorities prepared evacuation routes, ambulances and shelters in the event of a bigger explosion.

KABUL, Afghanistan — The U.S. and Afghanistan reached a deal Sunday on a long-delayed strategic partnership agreement that ensures Americans will provide military and financial support to the Afghan people for at least a decade beyond 2014, the deadline for most foreign forces to withdraw.

The pact is key to the U.S. exit strategy in Afghanistan because it establishes guidelines for any American forces who remain after the withdrawal deadline and for financial help to the impoverished country and its security forces.

For the Afghan government, it is also a way to show its people that their U.S.

allies are not just walking away.

“Our goal is an enduring partnership with Afghanistan that strengthens Afghan sovereignty, stability and prosperity and that contributes to our shared goal of defeating al-Qaida and its extremist affiliates,” said U.S. Embassy spokesman Gavin Sundwall. “We believe this agreement supports that goal.”

After 10 years of U.S.-led war, insurgents linked to the Taliban and al-Qaida remain a threat and as recently as a week ago launched a large-scale attack on the capital Kabul and three other cities.

The draft agreement was worked out and initialed by Afghan National Security Adviser Rangin Dadfar Spanta and U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker. It must still be reviewed in both countries and signed afterward by the Afghan and American presidents.

U.S. forces have already started pull-

ing out of Afghanistan, and the majority of combat troops are scheduled to depart by the end of 2014. But the U.S. is expected to maintain a large presence in the country for years after, including special forces, military trainers and government-assistance programs.

The agreement is both an achievement and a relief for both sides, coming after months of turmoil that seemed to put the entire alliance in peril. It shows that the two governments are still committed to working together and capable of coming to some sort of understanding.

“The document finalized today provides a strong foundation for the security of Afghanistan, the region and the world and is a document for the development of the region,” Spanta said in a statement issued by President Hamid Karzai’s office.

Neither Afghan nor U.S. officials

would comment on the details of the agreement. A Western official familiar with the negotiations said it outlines a strategic partnership for 10 years beyond 2014.

Reaching any agreement is likely to be seen as a success given more than a year and a half of negotiations during which the entire effort appeared in danger of falling apart multiple times.

Since the beginning of the year, U.S.Afghan relations have been strained by an Internet video of American Marines urinating on the corpses of presumed Taliban fighters, by Quran burnings at a U.S. base that sparked days of deadly protests and by the alleged killing spree by a U.S. soldier in a southern Afghan village.

Tensions were further heightened by a spate of turncoat attacks by Afghan security forces on their international counterparts.

Nor’easter bringing rain, snow to East

WASHINGTON

More scandal firings seen

he chairman of a House committee investigating an alleged Secret T Service prostitution scandal predicted

more firings as key lawmakers and a top adviser to President Barack Obama expressed confidence Sunday that the agency will effectively deal with the incident.

“Every possible lead is being examined,” said Rep. Peter King, who heads the House Homeland Security Committee. King, R-N.Y., said he expected that in the “near future, several other” members of the Secret Service will leave.

“What they were thinking is beyond me,” King told NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

So far, the scandal includes 12 Secret Service employees and 11 military members.

Up to four inches of rain could fall from Philadelphia to New England.

TEHRAN, IRAN

Iran claims drone data

Iran claimed Sunday that it had recovered data from an American spy drone that went down in Iran last year, including information that the aircraft was used to spy on Osama bin Laden weeks before he was killed. Iran also said it was building a copy of the drone.

Similar unmanned surveillance planes have been used in Afghanistan for years and kept watch on bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan. Tehran, which has also been known to exaggerate its military and technological prowess, says it brought down the RQ-170 Sentinel, a top-secret drone equipped with stealth technology, and has flaunted the capture as a victory for Iran and a defeat for the United States.

SANAA, YEMEN

Leadership change praised

The U.S. ambassador to Yemen said Sunday that a recent military shake-up has improved the fight against al-Qaida, which has taken advantage of internal turmoil to overrun parts of the country’s south.

Ambassador Gerald Feierstein also told reporters in the capital, Sanaa, that Washington is concerned about Yemeni officials who resist reforms ordered by the new president, Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi. Yemen’s army has stepped up the offensive against al-Qaida’s dangerous Yemen branch in the south after Hadi made the announcements that replaced Saleh loyalists with new officials.

CAIRO

Israel gas pact terminated

The head of the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company said Sunday it has terminated its contract to ship gas to Israel because of violations of contractual obligations, a decision Israel said overshadows the peace agreement between the two countries.

The 2005 natural gas deal has become a symbol of tensions between Israel and Egypt since the uprising. For many Egyptians, it typifies the close relations the regime of deposed President Hosni Mubarak forged with Israel, despite hide hostility toward the Jewish state among his people.

Critics charge that Israel got the gas for bargain prices and that Mubarak cronies skimmed millions of dollars off the proceeds.

By KARIN LAUB Associated Press

BEIRUT — The deployment of U.N. truce monitors brought a lull in shelling of the Syrian opposition stronghold of Homs for a second day Sunday while President Bashar Assad’s troops kept up heavy attacks on other areas where observers were not present.

International envoy Kofi Annan expressed hope that despite continued violations of the cease-fire he brokered, an expanded team of up to 300 observers — up from eight now on the ground — can help end 13 months of violence and lead to talks between Assad and the opposition.

Assad has used heavy weapons to try to crush the uprising against him, prompting some of his opponents to switch from peaceful protests to attacks on soldiers.

The violence has left more than 9,000 people dead, according to the U.N. At

Saturday a larger observer mission than the 250 initially envisioned. The mission was set for at least 90 days, but the Council left it up to U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon to decide when it will be safe enough to deploy it.

It will be the first time the U.N. has sent an unarmed mission into a conflict zone, and Western diplomats warned the team will likely fail unless the Assad regime complies with the cease-fire.

The Syrian opposition and its Western supporters suspect the regime is largely paying lip service to Annan’s truce plan, in part to appease allies Russia and China while trying to dodge truce provisions that could threaten its grip, such as pulling tanks and troops from towns and allowing peaceful protests. The Syrian government hasn’t complied with those terms, prompting bitter complaints from the U.N. chief last week.

Some Syrian activists were skeptical about the U.N. mission, based on the performance of the advance team that ar-

when they visit somewhere, and when they leave, shelling resumes.”

Saeed is a resident of the Damascus suburb of Douma, which he said was attacked Sunday by government troops firing artillery and machine guns. He said loud explosions shook the city early, causing panic among residents. Some used mosque loudspeakers to urge people to take cover in basements and in lower floors of apartment buildings.

In contrast, the central city of Homs enjoyed a second day of relative quiet, after several weeks of relentless artillery barrages by regime forces that have devastated large tracts of rebel-held areas in the city.

Five observers visited Homs for the first time Saturday, walking along debrisstrewn streets lined by gutted apartment buildings. Two monitors stayed on in the city after the rest of the team returned to Damascus, said team spokesman Neeraj Singh.

France’s Sarkozy forced into May 6 runoff

By ANGELA CHARLTON Associated Press

PARIS — Socialist Francois Hollande and conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy are heading for a runoff election in their race for France’s presidency, according to partial official results in a vote that could alter the European political and economic landscape.

French voters defied expectations and handed a surprisingly strong third-place showing to far-right candidate Marine Le Pen, who has run on an anti-immigrant platform aimed largely at Muslims. That could boost her influence on the French political scene, hand her party seats in parliament and affect relations with minorities.

With 75 percent of the vote counted, Hollande had 27.9 percent of ballots cast and Sarkozy 26.7 percent, according to

figures released by the Interior Ministry after final polls closed.

Le Pen was in third with 19.2 percent of the vote so far. In fourth place was leftist firebrand Jean-Luc Melenchon with 10.8 percent, followed by centrist Francois Bayrou with 9.2 percent and five other candidates with minimal support.

Turnout was also surprisingly high, projected by polling agencies at about 80 percent, despite concern that a campaign lacking a single overarching theme had failed to inspire voters.

Hollande, a 57-year-old who has worried investors with his pledges to boost government spending, pledged to cut France’s huge debts, boost growth and unite the French after Sarkozy’s divisive first term.

“Tonight I become the candidate of all the forces who want to turn one page and

turn another,” Hollande, with a confidence and stately air he has often lacked during the campaign, told an exuberant crowd in his hometown of Tulle in southern France.

Sarkozy said he recognized voters’ concerns about jobs and immigration, and “the concern of our compatriots to preserve their way of life,” he told supporters at his campaign headquarters in Paris’ Left Bank.

Ten candidates faced off for Sunday’s first round of voting, a referendum on Sarkozy at a time when many French voters are worried about high joblessness and weak economic prospects and the president is seen as too cozy with the rich.

The top two candidates head to a runoff May 6.

The race is on now to sway Le Pen’s voters for the decisive second round.

NEW YORK — A spring nor’easter rumbled along the East Coast on Sunday and was expected to bring rain and heavy winds and even snow in some places as it strengthens into early today, a punctuation to a relatively dry stretch of weather for the Northeast.

The storm is atypical for April but not uncommon, said David Stark, a National Weather Service meteorologist in New York City, where 21⁄2 to 31⁄2 inches of rain are expected in the city with wind gusts of 25-30 mph.

With the storm came a spate of disruptions. Pro baseball games were postponed in New York and Washington. The space shuttle Enterprise’s scheduled arrival in New York City was pushed back. An Earth Day celebration at a park in Virginia Beach, Va., was canceled.

From Philadelphia north through New York City and into southern New England up to 4 inches of rain could fall, with the heaviest downpour expected early today.

Some higher-elevation areas in the western parts of Pennsylvania and New York and in West Virginia and Ohio could even see snow. Forecasts called for 4 to 12 inches.

Flooding was possible in some areas, but precipitation in much of the Northeast is below normal for this time of year.

“We’re down 7 or 8 inches,” weather service forecaster Charlie Foley said. “This won’t completely wipe out the deficit but it will certainly help.”

Even Lake Champlain on the Vermont-New York border, normally close to flood stage this time of year because of rain and snowmelt, is near a record low.

Just a year ago, it approached its highest level on record.

The storm’s biggest threat is likely power outages caused by falling trees and limbs bringing down power lines, said meteorologist John Darnley.

Another unseasonable nor’easter last year just before Halloween dumped up to 2 feet of wet, heavy snow that snapped tree limbs and power lines, and knocked out power to more than 3 million customers in the Northeast. In Connecticut, it broke a state record for the number of power company customers left in the dark by a single storm that had been set only two months earlier when the remnants of Hurricane Irene slammed the state as it barreled up the Eastern Seaboard.

The worst of the flooding from Irene was in Vermont and northern New York, where cleanups continue seven months later.

father Chester WeleO urbobdearest returned to the Lord on Sat-

urday at 87 years of age. Chester was a caring father, a devoted husband of 60 years, a friend, and someone who lived a very long and very happy life. Chet had a zest for living, was extremely curious and wellread, and would captivate you with his many stories from his well-lived life. His family is so very proud of who he was as a man, his six decades of devotion to our mom. And the principles he stood for in his life.

Born in 1925, Chet was the son of the late Mary and Paul Welebob.

Chet joined the Navy at age 17 and was a proud veteran of World War II serving as an engineer on the USS Bancroft DD-256. He fought bravely and participated in many historic battles, including Guadalcanal.

Upon returning home from war, Chester met and married his life’s love, Mildred Palko-Welebob. They began their married lives together residing in Hanover Township, giving birth to their first daughter Paula Bukevicz, wife of Lt. Colonel Ronald Bukevicz (Dover, Del.). In 1952, they moved to Wilkes-Barre Township, where they resided the remainder of their lives, raising three more daughters, Bobby Dougherty, wife of Terrance Dougherty, Wilkes-Barre Township; the late Jayne Welebob (1954-1969), and Susan Welebob, fiancée of Terry Finn, Bear Creek.

Chester was a sales representative with Robert Hall Clothing Stores, where he worked 40 years, winning numerous national awards for sales. Chet was an expert in his field.

He also served as a councilman

for Wilkes-Barre Township for two decades. Chet’s favorite hobby was golf, where he was a member of the Wilkes-Barre Municipal Golf course for 30 years entertaining his fellow golfers with war stories every Tuesday evening after the game.

Chet was an active member of St. Joseph’s Church and Monastery, for 60 years before its closing in 2004.

He was a member of Our Lady of Hope Parish, Park Avenue, WilkesBarre.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney speaks at the RNC State Chairman’s National Meeting in Arizona, Friday.

Romney plan includes health spending cuts

Money for defense would increase above what some other Republicans advocate.

By ANDREW TAYLOR Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Reducing government deficits Mitt Romney’s way would mean less money for health care for the poor and disabled and big cuts to nuts-and-bolts functions such as food inspection, border security and education.

Romney also promises budget increases for the Pentagon, above those sought by some GOP defense hawks, meaning that the rest of the government would have to shrink even more. Nonmilitary programs would incur still larger cuts than those called for in the tightfisted GOP budget that the House passed last month.

Differences over the government’s budget and spiraling deficits are among the starkest that separate Republican Romney and Democratic President Barack Obama.

Obama’s budget generally avoids risk, with minimal cuts to rapidly growing health care programs such as Medicare and Medicaid while socking wealthier people with tax increases. It’s all part of an effort to close trillion-dollarplus deficits.

Romney, by contrast, proposes broad cuts in government spending, possibly overpromising on reductions that even a Congress stuffed with conservatives might find hard to deliver.

His campaign materials give relatively few specifics, other than a pledge to bring total government spending down to 20 percent of the U.S. economy by the end of a first term in 2016. That is roughly in line with where it was during Republican George W. Bush’s presidency.

Estimates by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office put current government spending at $3.6 trillion, or about 23.5 percent of the

N extto the Big Co w o n Rt. 309

gross domestic product this year, slipping to 21.8 percent by 2016.

The math can get fuzzy. But the Romney campaign says it needs to come up with $500 billion in cuts in 2016, the target year. Overall, Romney promises to shrink the government by about one-seventh when compared against the size of the economy.

The GOP front-runner suggests raising the Social Security retirement age and reducing cost-of-living increases for better-off retirees.

He generally endorses a plan by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., to gradually transform Medicare from a program that directly pays hospital and doctor bills into vouchers for subsidizing future beneficiaries in buying health insurance.

Because Romney promises to protect current Social Security and Medicare recipients from cuts, he cannot get much savings from those programs by 2016. Combined, they are projected to make up about 44 percent of the budget that year. Interest costs, which cannot be touched, would make up an additional 9 percent of the budget, while Romney promises to add almost $100 billion to the Pentagon budget that year, based on his pledge that military spending reach 4 percent of GDP. The Medicaid program now provides health care for about 50 million mostly poor and disabled people, including nursing home care for 7 of 10 patients nationwide. Obama’s health care law would sharply boost Medicaid enrollment to cover more people above the poverty line, a move that Romney promises to repeal.

Like House Republicans, Romney promises to transform Medicaid into block grants for states and shed federal supervision of it. He would cap the program’s annual growth to inflation plus a percentage point.

Economy helping Obama

By PAUL WISEMAN AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON — The improving economy is swinging the pendulum in President Barack Obama’s favor in the 14 states where the presidential election will likely be decided.

Recent polls have shown Obama gaining an edge over his likely Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, in several so-called swing states — those that are considered up for grabs.

What’s made the difference is that unemployment has dropped more sharply in several swing states than in the nation as a whole. A resurgence in manufacturing is helping the economy — and Obama’s chances — in the industrial Midwestern states of Ohio and Michigan.

And Arizona, Nevada and Florida, where unemployment remains high, are getting some relief from an uptick in tourism.

“The biggest reason for the president’s improving prospects probably is the economy,” says Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

The Great Recession of 20072009 hit several swing states particularly hard. Unemployment peaked at 14.2 percent in Michigan, where the auto industry faced ruin. It also hit double digits in Arizona, Nevada and Florida, which were at the center of the housing bust, and in North Carolina, which lost jobs in textile and furniture plants.

In 2010, the economic misery helped Republicans retake control of the House and gain seats in the Senate. But the GOP can’t count on a repeat when voters return to the polls — with much more at stake — on Nov. 6.

After an agonizingly slow recovery, several swing-state economies are finally accelerating: • The job market is improving in Michigan and Ohio. In Michigan, unemployment fell to 8.5 percent in March from 10.5 percent in March 2011. And in Ohio, it dropped to 7.5 percent from 8.8 percent over the same period, putting it well below the national average of 8.2 percent. A Fox News poll released Friday showed Obama leading Romney 45 percent to 39 percent among registered voters in Ohio.

Many blue-collar workers in Ohio and Michigan credit the federal bailout of General Motors and Chrysler for saving tens of thousands of auto industry jobs, says Paul Allen Beck, a political science professor at Ohio State University. The bailout began under President George W. Bush, but Obama expanded it. “There’s a feeling the administration went out of its way to protect jobs that are very important,” Beck said.

• In Florida, unemployment tumbled to 9 percent in March from 10.7 percent a year earlier.

That was more than twice the nationwide drop of 0.7 percentage point (from 8.9 percent to 8.2 percent) over the same period. A rise in tourism is helping. • Even Nevada, a focal point of the real estate collapse, has seen some improvement: Unemployment dropped to 12 percent in March from 13.6 percent a year earlier.

• Unemployment is down over the past year in the 10 other states the Associated Press identifies as swing states: Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.

Still, political analysts caution that voter sentiment — not to mention economic momentum — can turn fast.

Murphy-Kane AG fight a marquee matchup

By PETER JACKSON Associated Press

PATRICK MURPHY

KATHLEEN KANE

AGE: 38 PARTY: Democrat EDUCATION: B.A., King’s College (1996); J.D., Widener Law School, Harrisburg (1999).

EXPERIENCE: U.S. Army Judge Advocate General Corps, January 2000 to December 2004, including deployments in Iraq and BosniaHerzegovina, and assignments in New York and North Carolina. Member of the U.S. House of Representatives, 2007-2011. Private law practice, Philadelphia, 2005-06 and 2011-present.

FAMILY: Murphy and his wife, Jenni, have two children and live in Bristol, in Bucks County.

AGE: 45 PARTY: Democrat EDUCATION: B.S., international studies, University of Scranton (1988); law degree, Temple University Law School (1993).

EXPERIENCE: Private law practice, Philadelphia (1991-95); assistant district attorney, Lackawanna County, 1995-2007, private law practice, Scranton (2003 to present) FAMILY: Kane and her husband, Chris, have two sons and live in Clarks Summit, in Lackawanna County.

ruption to murder. She specialized in cases involving abuse of children and senior citizens, and headed the office’s insurance-fraud unit. She left in 2007 to work on Hillary Clinton’s campaign for president.

Running for attorney general “is a natural progression — career-wise and experience-wise and knowledge-wise,” she said during a recent campaign swing in the Scranton area, adding that hired consultants guide her on campaign strategy.

“I know what I know and I know what I don’t know.”

The race is the top attraction in the Democratic primary.

Kane has been endorsed by both of Philadelphia’s daily newspapers, the Inquirer and Daily News, and former President Bill Clinton appeared at a recent rally on her behalf in the Philadelphia suburbs.

Murphy is backed by organized labor, former Gov. Ed Rendell and all seven Democrats in Pennsylvania’s congressional delegation. He’s been endorsed by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and President Barack Obama’s political strategist David Axelrod has stumped for him in Philadelphia.

Kane’s campaign has been financed chiefly by her husband and a handful of other executives at Kane Is Able, a Scranton-based, non-union trucking and warehouse company that his family founded and owns. Of the more than $2.5 million the campaign raised, Chris Kane alone

contributed or loaned $2.25 million, according to state campaign-finance reports.

Murphy reported contributions of $2.2 million and was outraising Kane by more than 3-1 in the days leading up to the primary.

Both candidates have aggressively sought to exploit what they see as weaknesses in their opponent.

Murphy portrays himself as the real Democrat in the contest.

“I would stack my life experience against either one of my opponents in this race, Democrat or Republican, and I’m proud that I prosecuted terrorists who tried to kill American soldiers,” Murphy said in a recent interview.

Kane says Murphy lacks her professional credentials.

“He’s running because he’s a politician and he wants to be governor and then president,” Kane told about 20 people who were eating lunch at the Abington Senior Community Center in Clarks Summit.

Kane has repeatedly questioned Murphy’s qualifications to serve as attorney general, citing an Associated Press story in which he acknowledged that he did not take the Pennsylvania bar exam and has never tried a case in Pennsylvania’s courts.

“Murphy has said he took the Minnesota exam because he was entering the JAG and was told he would get the results sooner.

HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania voters should expect to be asked for photo identification at polling places in Tuesday’s primary election, but those without it won’t be barred from casting ballots.

The statewide balloting is being used for a test run of the new law that — starting in the Nov. 6 general election — will require Pennsylvanians to show a photo ID that meets state guidelines every time they vote. The goal is to educate voters and identify problems so officials can better prepare for the much larger turnout anticipated in the presidential election.

The law Gov. Tom Corbett signed last month following an intensely partisan debate put Pennsylvania among a handful of states with the strictest voter ID requirements amid ongoing GOP efforts in legislatures across the country to toughen such laws.

Republicans who advocated the law portray it as an effort to curb voter fraud, although Democratic critics charge that there’s no evidence of such fraud. They say the law — one of the toughest in the nation — is a thinly veiled effort to suppress the vote for President Barack Obama in a key battleground state in the fall election and argued that it would discriminate against elderly, poor and minority voters.

The American Civil Liberties Union has vowed to challenge the Pennsylvania law in court. Last month, similar laws were blocked in Texas by the U.S. Justice Department and ruled unconstitutional by state judges in Wisconsin.

In the primary, poll workers will ask voters for an acceptable form of identification — a Pennsylvania driver’s license, for example — but allow registered voters to cast ballots whether or not they have it.

everyone, whether they have ID or not,” said Shari Brewer, the director of elections in Butler County. The law allows Pennsylvania driver’s licenses to be used as an ID for voting purposes up to one year past the expiration date, but it requires all other photo IDs to contain a future expiration date.

In the general election, voters who do not have proper identification will be allowed to cast provisional ballots that will be set aside and counted only if they provide a valid ID to county election officials within six days.

They also can apply for a free photo identification card through PennDOT. The law has alarmed students at some of Pennsylvania’s largest schools, including Penn State, Temple and the 14 state-owned universities, because their IDs do not have expiration dates and many students do not have a Pennsylvania driver’s license.

The Morning Call in Allentown, which was first to report the story, said stickers bearing an expiration date were among the remedies being considered.

Some county officials predict the dress rehearsal of the new law will delay primary balloting.

Lines at polling places were not uncommon even under the prior law, which required identification only from people voting in a district for the first time and did not require photo IDs. “It will surely slow things down. ... It should give us some inkling of how much it slows things down,” said Stephanie Singer, a Philadelphia city commissioner who chairs the city’s election commission.

In July, state officials plan to launch a $3 million-plus informational campaign — financed by federal fund — that will include newspaper, TV and radio ads as well as robo-calls. In September, literature will be mailed to every household with a voter, said Secretary of State Carol Aichele.

“It is our intent to make sure every eligible voter in Pennsylvania has a photo ID,” said Aichele, the state’s top elections official.

SANFORD, Fla. — All eyes remain on the Florida jail where the man charged with murdering 17-year-old Trayvon Martin is awaiting release on bail, and it could be several days before he leaves.

George Zimmerman’s attorney was still working Sunday to secure the money for bail and a safe place for the 28-year-old neighborhood watch volunteer to stay. But residents in Sanford, where Martin was killed, don’t expect a ruckus once Zimmerman is released.

City commissioners haven’t received calls from nervous residents. Protesters haven’t showed up outside the jail. And talk at one local coffee shop seldom focused on the case.

“It’s just kind of a non-issue now,” said Michele Church, a server at Mel’s Family Diner.

“That’s pretty much all anybody in Sanford wanted, was an arrest, so it could be sorted out in the court system.”

Mark O’Mara, attorney for George Zimmerman, answers questions from reporters after speaking with his client at the Seminole County Jail in Sanford, Fla.

On Friday, a Florida judge agreed to let Zimmerman out on $150,000 bail. Defense attorney Mark O’Mara has said there are several options for where Zimmerman should go, but would not disclose any of them. Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester on Friday indicated Zimmerman would be allowed to leave the state if ar-

rangements with law enforcement could be made for him to be monitored. He will be fitted with an electronic device.

About a half-dozen photographers and cameramen remained camped outside the Sanford jail Sunday, focused on the door marked “Bonds Rooms,” where other people who had been ar-

There are a host of reasons for Englewood’s downward spiral.

But they mostly boil down to an exodus of families from an area that was predominantly singlefamily homes, resulting in an explosion in the number of abandoned buildings, and an influx of gang members.

According to the police department, there are more than 4,100 abandoned buildings in Englewood, nearly 600 of them vacated in just the last 15 months. One study found more vacant homes in Englewood and the community to the immediate west than anywhere in Chicago.

It all has created an atmo-

special plans by the city under way in anticipation of Zimmerman’s release.

A spokeswoman for the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office declined to release any information about whether they were increasing patrols or security.

Zimmerman has been the subject of scorn and debate in the weeks after he shot and killed Martin, who was unarmed and returning from buying Skittles and iced tea at a convenience store. The case has been the focus of continuing attention and sparked a discussion about race and the laws of self-defense. Before he turned himself in, members of the New Black Panthers had put out a bounty for his arrest.

Defense attorneys for other high-profile clients who awaited trial on bail have said Zimmerman should leave Florida and refrain from going out in public.

Sanford residents say they aren’t expecting to see him around the neighborhood anytime soon.

“The mood in Sanford has Martin calmed down tremendously,” said Sanford Commissioner Patty Mahany, whose district includes the neighborhood where Martin was killed. “I think now that people are able to see the justice system taking place, even though they understand it’s going to be quite slow, people are willing to just remain calm and really we’re all getting back to our daily routines.” She said there were no

WORLD OPINION

Taliban ‘spring offensive’ proves NATO still needed

T

HE BRAZEN SERIES of attacks launched by the Taliban recently against high-profile targets throughout Afghanistan was intended to demonstrate that the movement still has the ability to create mayhem. By launching a simultaneous assault on the main NATO compound in Kabul, the presidential palace, foreign embassies and several other targets, the Taliban sought to start its “spring offensive” in spectacular fashion.

The attacks ended in failure.

But Hamid Karzai, the Afghan president said, the ease with which the Taliban breached the security cordon in the capital suggests a major intelligence failure on the part of both Afghan and NATO forces.

Where does this leave us?

The Taliban’s intent was almost certainly psychological –

to shatter any feeling of security in the capital, and focus minds on what will happen when the Westerners depart.

The operation also showed that the Afghans still have a long way to go before they have all the means at their disposal to see off their enemies: they relied heavily on NATO helicopters, intelligence and special forces.

This makes the decisions reached at the May NATO conference in Chicago all the more important, since it is there that the major Western powers will debate how much support they are prepared to offer once NATO has ended combat operations. If, in our rush to the exit, we leave the Afghans to fend for themselves, it will have disastrous consequences for their security – and for ours.

F

LORIDA’S STAND Your Ground law is an invitation to violent disaster. It is a radical broadening of the law of selfdefense that made the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, a black teen walking through a gated community in which he was a guest, seem nearly as preordained as any Greek tragedy.

Stand Your Ground laws create something close to a presumption that an assailant intends to use deadly force, and that it is therefore reasonable to use deadly force in return.

Killing in self-defense no longer needs to be necessary to pass legal muster – a radical departure.

Florida’s numbers of justifiable homicide cases have nearly tripled since the 2005 law came in. Before the law, there were 12 a year, on average; and now there are 33. In Texas and Georgia, justifiable homicide cases have nearly doubled since those states passed Stand Your Ground laws. Most states with such laws have experienced large jumps in justifiable homicide cases, even as homicide rates have stayed flat.

No wonder the Brady Campaign Against Gun Violence warns visitors not to argue with Floridians. “No retreat” gives a man with a gun the right to the last word.

Misplaced motivation

T

HE COORDINATED arrival at Ben-Gurion Airport of hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists from countries such as Canada, Portugal, Jordan, France, Britain, Belgium and Turkey was designed to create a provocation.

The timing of what is being dubbed a “flytilla” – after maritime attempts such as the infamous Mavi Marmara to challenge Israel’s sovereignty – is no coincidence. It was purposely planned to take place precisely when thousands of Israelis vacationing abroad for Passover or Easter made their way home via BenGurion Airport.

Editorial Board

Thankfully, our political leaders took pre-emptive action.

There also appears to be increasing understanding in the international community that many self-proclaimed proPalestinian activists are not so much motivated by the desire to improve the lot of the Palestinian people as they are to do everything in their power to delegitimize Israel.

Amazingly, however, many prominent Israelis who should have known better attacked our government leaders for mishandling the situation.

MALLARD FILLMORE

Multi-certified teachers can help districts, students THOSE OF us who work in the field of education – whether in Pennsylvania’s school districts or in higher education – realize that we’re on the precipice of a huge change.

Cuts in funding have forced school districts to use cash reserves. Programs and services are being cut. For most school districts, the largest part of the budget is for personnel, leading administrators to furlough teachers to compensate for reductions in funding.

Whether you agree with the cuts or not, the reductions have forced all of us to look very closely to see what we can do more effectively and more efficiently with fewer resources. Funding cuts on all levels of education are forcing us to rethink many things, from the training of teachers to curriculum and program changes.

The real challenge is how to reduce costs while still providing students with a quality education. Ultimately some cuts might force schools to make program decisions that are not in the best interests of children. However, when resources become scarce, retaining talented teachers can help to offset some of the impact of these changes. Research has shown that the greatest factor in student success is the classroom teacher.

It all comes down to a more efficient use of resources, including personnel. We need to develop strategies that will help teachers to be multidimensional in their orientation.

Teachers need to be able to branch out, moving beyond a single certification level or

MAIL BAG

MICHAEL SPEZIALE one subject-matter certification. Teachers certified to teach multiple grade levels or subjects will help school districts to be able to move and reassign personnel in order to address student needs. Addressing student needs, after all, is what education is all about.

Teachers need to take advantage of every educational opportunity that is available to strengthen their positions. A good example is the recent state mandate that requires different certifications for elementary and middle-level grades. Formerly, teachers with elementary education K-6 certification could teach both elementary and middle school up to eighth grade. Recent Pennsylvania Department of Education requirements stipulate that teachers now must be certified either in pre-K-4 for elementary or 4-8 to teach middle level. This requirement, first instituted in 2011 and expected to be fully functioning by fall 2013, requires middlelevel teachers to complete a program of study that focuses on teaching grades 4-8.

After completion of the middle-level program, teaches can be certified in various disciplines in grades 4-8.

Teachers who want to increase their value to their districts will seek middle-level certification. The state has put programs in place to help them do that. For the second time in three years, Wilkes University has been the

recipient of a Department of Education grant that offers free tuition toward specific graduate courses that can help Pennsylvania teachers attain middle-level certification. To be considered for this program, teachers must hold Pennsylvania certification or emergency certification and seek to become certified in a content area they are not currently certified to teach at the middle level. Teachers who qualify, after applying and meeting eligibility requirements, can begin to take classes this summer.

Teachers need to embrace such opportunities, which allow them to increase their value to their current or prospective employers. Employees in business and industry long ago learned that acquiring new skills makes them both more valuable and more marketable. Educators need to adopt the same mindset. Earning such certifications will help school districts to use teachers where they are needed most to meet pupil needs.

In the end, it will be a win-win for everyone: school districts, teachers and, most important, the students they educate.

Michael Speziale is dean of the College of Graduate and Professional Studies at Wilkes University.

find it very disheartening that this area’s buildings, roads and amenities are still named after despicable criminals.

Anyone who has been following the news must realize that no sector of the community has been spared from corruption. I suggest that any public building, monument or park that is named after any convicted felon be immediately renamed.

Let’s start using the names of geographic locations, historic events or innovations that have helped this area prosper – not the names of low-life individuals who brought this area into disrespect. This will show any interested individual, or organization, that this area is trying to come clean.

The public, in general, seems to have a very short attention span in regard to these felons. Northeastern Pennsylvania needs to reinvent itself and disavow its sordid past.

Let’s pass a law that no one’s name will be used for dedications. Let’s also make the area’s elected officials, such as judges

hen my children were younger they used to play a game called “Opposite Day,” meaning you meant the opposite of everything you said on that day.

Well, former Vice President Dick Cheney must have been playing “Opposite Day” when he made the remark that President Obama has been “an unmitigated disaster to the country.”

After all, Mr. Cheney served under former President George W. Bush, who recklessly started a war in search of invisible weapons of mass destruction – a war that cost this country billions (albeit, perhaps to the delight of Cheney’s former company, Halliburton), a war that took thousands of lives, a war that injured countless combatants and noncombatants and their families in ways beyond measure, a war that must never be forgotten for all its atrocities.

Now that is what I call “an unmitigated disaster to the country.”

“We wanted to get together several organizations that promoted healthy lifestyle choices,” Leadership Wilkes-Barre team member Dave Parsnik said. “Basically anything not just sitting at home playing video games. We want kids to get out there and get active.”

There was an array of tables for children to gather information at. As each visited and spent time with a certain group, it was noted on a tiny card with the child’s name. These cards were then used to raffle off prizes like bicycles and an X-Box gaming system.

A popular stop was Godwin’s YOUniverse table.

“It’s really about your imagination,” she said as she showcased various homemade instruments to the crowd. “We want kids to learn how to take ordinary household objects and make them fun.”

In additional to the musical umbrella, kazoos made of toilet paper rolls and wax sheets, and drums made of Folger’s coffee containers were on hand.

Healthy eating was a big factor at many of the interactive areas.

Best Buy volunteers Matt Tucker and Emily Evanko were on hand to not only concoct healthy treats for the young crowd, but to have fun while doing it.

“The recipe is interesting; it’s Yogurt Smash,” Tucker said.

“You take half of a banana and put

it in a plastic bag, drop in some low-fat yogurt, sprinkle granola in and you mash it all up.”

Kids flocked to the table to mash away at the bags, which resulted in a healthy treat.

“Parents like it, it’s easy to do,” Tucker said. “People have been telling us they want to replace lunch items with it.”

Another healthy food stand was hosted by Wegman’s, a table that showed kids how to make a turkey wrap.

“It’s a basic recipe with a fun spin that’s healthy,” Kaitlin Zomerfeld, Wegman’s restaurant manager said.

Children were taught the proper technique to roll up a wheat wrap that contained thin cucumber slices, all-natural turkey breast, and, instead of mayonnaise, a choice of hummus or ba-

ba ganoush.

Aaralynn, 6, and Ahmad, 3, were two such Revolution-goers that came away with the wrap, along with their mother Jessie MBaye, all of Plains Township.

“It’s a nice event here, there’s a lot to see and do for the kids,” MBaye said. “They’re really enjoying themselves.”

how lonely he was,” Sakaduski said. “I said, ‘Chester, I could relate to that, given my husband passed away. But you have to keep going.’ He said, ‘But I can’t bring Millie home.’ I said it was a lot more comfortable for her to stay there, but I could understand that. Millie was very pretty and he missed her.”

Sakaduski said Chester visited Mildred every day. “He would go around suppertime and stay until she went to bed,” she said Sakaduski suspects that dealing with Mildred’s Alzheimer’s disease took a toll on Chester. “I know how this could change and affect you, especially when they don’t remember you,” she said.

Sakaduski said she and Chester were both Democrats and enjoyed talking politics, but he lost interest in local politics when a Republican majority took over.

“That’s what kept him alive.

Most of his friends with him in politics have since passed away,” Sakaduski said.

Quinn recalled Chester as a

“great guy” who loved to tell stories. He said Chester convinced his mother to let him enter the military at age 16 when World War II broke out and told Quinn a story of a naval battle in the South Pacific . “His ship got hit a couple times and he told me he remembered thinking, ‘I’m going to die in the South Pacific and I should be home playing basketball for Coach Quinn,’” Quinn recalled, noting that his father, John Sr., coached his friend in high school.

Chester was one of three township residents who were unable to receive their high school diplomas because of their enlistment in the military during World War II and were recognized for their service by council in 2002. The three men were presented with their high school diplomas in a ceremony hosted by the Wilkes-Barre Area School District and received citations from the state Senate and House of Representatives.

In 2004, council passed a reso-

lution honoring Mildred for 30 years of service working with children and child care services in the township.

“She will be regarded as one of the most influential people and a mentor to children in WilkesBarre Township,” Councilwoman Mary Yuknavich had said.

Mildred was unable to attend the meeting to receive the honor. Council instead presented a plaque and a watch as a token of appreciation to Chester and their daughter, Sue. Times Leader features reporter Mary Therese Biebel met the Welebobs when she stopped at St. Luke’s Villa – then called Heritage House – while working on a story about Christmas caroling in the area in December 2010.

“Folks at the Heritage House know the benefits of singing together, which they do just about every night after dinner, thanks to the efforts of 90-year-old resident Frank Loch, who plays the piano by ear and without ever having taken a lesson,” Biebel wrote.

In her story, Biebel noted that Chester visited Mildred every day, and cherished the time they spent by the piano with Loch and the other residents.

“My beautiful wife of 60 years,” Chester had said. “She has Alzheimer’s, and it kills me.

(She) and I danced at the Waldorf-Astoria to Guy Lombardo.

We danced day and night over at the Irem Temple.”

Melodies were something Mildred still recognized, Chet had said.

“She loves it,” he said of the old standbys. “Some people hear the music. But I feel it, in my heart.”

voters, she said.

“There also is a certain element of public service in taking these elected positions,” she said.

Councilwoman Elaine Maddon Curry said the home rule charter now requires the controller’s office to complete audits according to recognized governmental auditing standards, and nobody in the controller’s office has the educational qualifications needed to meet that standard at this time.

“Ideally the office should be held by a CPA so that all audits can be conducted in-house, but of course that would likely require an increase in salary for the controller position,” she said.

Councilman Tim McGinley said the salary should be discussed because the controller is “a very critical position in the county government.”

Councilman Rick Morelli said he’s open to discussion but initially opposes a controller increase amid recent budgetary

layoffs. Most county non-union workers haven’t had a raise in years, he said.

Griffith said he believes the current compensation is fair and should not be increased when all departments are “doing more with less.”

“I think council should look at it, but I don’t think increasing the pay is a good idea at this time,” he said. “I think there are many people in our county who don’t come close to making $36,500 with benefits.”

Continued from Page 1A

“This tragedy affected a lot of people. (They) are remembering, ‘Mrs. Welebob was my nursery school teacher,’” said Bernice Sakaduski, who lives on East Northampton Street directly behind the Welebobs’ home and who worked as township secretary when Mildred taught at the township nursery school.

When they were younger, Sakaduski said, Mildred worked at the school, “and Chester was Mr. Mom.” She recalled Chester and her “talking like two old women” as they hung clothes to dry on the clothesline. A little later in life, Chester became an extraordinary salesman.

“We’ve been living here together about 60 years, no fence, we all got along. They had four children and so did we. We spent many days in the backyard.

There was a big tree that gave a lot of shade. We had birthday parties there. We often sat and reminisced,” Sakaduski said.

Sakaduski said the Welebobs lost one child as a teenager, and it hit them hard. But they did their best to raise their other three daughters, often foregoing vacations to provide for them.

A family representative said on Sunday that the family was not prepared to comment for this story.

Sakaduski wasn’t sure exactly when Mildred went to live at St. Luke’s, but she estimates it’s been a few years, and Chester missed her like crazy.

“He did tell me the one time

Though Summers is thrilled to have been nominated she also noted that it can be a tough road for a third-party candidate to get on the ballot in the fall.

“To get statewide candidates on the ballot we need a minimum of 20,000 signatures, where the other parties only need 2,000,” she said. “In reality, we really need to have 40 or 50 thousand signatures, and even then it can still be conAIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER tested and possibly withTom Stevens is running for chairperson of the Libertarian Party. drawn.”

sy; they relied on the services and guidance from the association to help them teach their daughter to do simple tasks such as how to eat.

“There is no Sesame Street for disabled children,” he said.

“Parents and children need help and that is why places like this are so important.”

Katie cannot walk or talk, but enjoys close social interaction with others, music, and television, Kane said.

Helped offered through the Children’s Association includes occupational therapists, speech therapy, and physical therapy as well as an integrated programs with other children.

Lori Kozelsky with the association said the children are able to learn from each other.

Katie and her family benefited from utilizing the association’s resources. Katie, now 21, will be graduating from Wyoming Area High School this spring, Kane said. Due to the severity of her symptoms, she will be unable to work, but will attend a satellite campus of St. Joseph’s Center in Wilkes-Barre.

The original Team Katie was formed by Kane, his wife, Michelle, son, Sean, and daughter, Katie. As the walk-a-thon event grew, so did Team Katie.

Today, Kane said, the team is composed of about 40 members.

He said due to the large size of Team Katie, they have the ability to raise thousands of

She said the names of candidates were changed for their own privacy.

Burak, an elementary education major from Shavertown, said she was nervous about asking questions of someone she did not know, but found her subject eager to share her experiences of living with cerebral palsy.

“It was hard to ask some of the questions. I didn’t want to be too intruding,” she said. “It was hard to listen to some of the answers; it was sad.”

But even though her 19-yearold subject was in a wheelchair, Burak said she was had a very positive outlook and does not let her disability stop her from learning and being involved in several activities.

“She is involved in more activities than I am,” she said.

This was the goal Nordstrom set out to accomplish.

Experiencing life with a disabled daughter, Kane described the day of the walk-athon as “uplifting to see hundreds of people come out to help the children”. Even Katie participates.

“She gets to go for a wheelchair ride,” he said.

Currently registration is down, but Kozelsky said this is par for the course. The larger part of the registration happens the day of and online registration, she said.

“It was hard to ask some of the questions. I didn’t want to be too intruding. It was hard to listen to some of the answers; it was sad.”

said.

In everyday life, going up to someone and asking, “What is it like to be you,” is unheard of, Nordstrom said. The project gave students the opportunity direct and indirect learning.

The results provided several great stories to share.

The students work was turned over to a group of faculty writers who, while preserving the students’ words, created a series of memoirs.

“We wanted to share this with the campus and community,” she said.

In 2009, Nordstrom did a similar project focusing on the different ethic groups of the area, to dispel the images the media has created.

Nordstrom hopes the “power of one,” to have the students know at least one person in each demographic, will increase tolerance and understanding.

Blue-White Game weekend may have been coach Bill O’Brien’s show, but Joe Paterno was certainly not forgotten.

By GENARO C. ARMAS AP Sports Writer

STATE COLLEGE — The man in the white dress shirt, Penn State tie and rolled-up khakis jogged through the Beaver Stadium tunnel and on to the field before slowing down at the finish line — the 50-yard-line.

It was alumnus Gus Curtin’s tribute to the iconic look once sported in the same stadium on fall weekends by the late coach Joe Paterno.

A weekend during which the annual BlueWhite spring game gave fans a glimpse into the Nittany Lions’ future under new coach Bill O’Brien also allowed people like Curtin to remember the past. From the bouquets of blueand-white carnations left at the bronzed PaSee JOEPA, Page 5B

Giroux sets Game 6 tone with goal, big hit on Crosby

By PAUL SOKOLOSKI psokoloski@timesleader.com

PHILADELPHIA – Before the game even began, Claude Giroux begged to be on the ice when the first puck dropped.

It didn’t take long for the Philadelphia Flyers to find out why.

Giroux scored the first goal just 32 seconds in and later added two assists Sunday and beleaguered goalie Ilya Brzygalov made 31 saves as the Flyers upended the Pittsburgh Penguins, 5-1 to capture their Eastern Conference

quarterfinal series, 4 games to 2.

“Right off the bat, being able to get the first goal was huge to kind of get the momentum,” Giroux said. “It kind of got the fans into it.”

He didn’t need to score to do that.

Giroux opened game six by delivering a punishing hit that toppled Penguins star and Philadelphia arch-enemy Sidney Crosby against the boards, bringing roars from the sold-out crowd of 20,127 at the Wells Fargo Center.

“I wasn’t planning to hit Crosby,” Giroux said. “When you get a chance to

hit another player, you better take it. I was able to do it first shift.”

Moments later, Giroux struck the first blow, scoring unassisted to give the Flyers a quick 1-0 lead.

Now Flyers coach Peter Laviolette knows why his captain came to him during the pregame with an unprecedented request.

“When the best player in the world comes up and says, ‘I don’t know who you’re starting tonight, but I want the first shift’ that tells you all you want to know,” Laviolette said. “Claude had a

great game from start to finish.

“He made sure the Flyers moved on.”

And guaranteed the hated Penguins moved out of the playoffs.

Giroux assisted on Scott Hartnell’s goal later in the first period as the Flyers took a 2-0 lead, then helped on Erik Gustaffson’s goal early in the second period for a 3-0 Philadelphia advantage.

The Penguins never recovered,

Last month, Coughlin grad Justin Accordino represented the Wyoming Valley Conference at the NCAA National Wrestling Championships by earning All- Pasone American status for Hofstra.

Vito Pasone may someday follow in his footsteps.

Hamlin holds off Truex for victory in Kansas

Defensive trouble combines with Phillies’ hitting woes

By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer

The Associated Press

“Whether it was coincidence or not,” Hamlin said, “our car definitely felt better when the sun came out. I felt the car lost a lot of grip, but I guess a lot of guys did.”

It was Hamlin’s first career win at Kansas, and gave his Joe Gibbs Racing team some momentum heading to Richmond, where the Virginia driver has won twice in 12 career starts.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — The sun shined brightly on Denny Hamlin at Kansas Speedway.

At the most opportune of times, too.

Hamlin’s car hooked up after the final pit stop Sunday, just as the sun finally broke through on an overcast afternoon, and he powered by Martin Truex Jr. for the lead. Hamlin then managed to hold off a late charge by Truex to win for the second time this season.

SAN DIEGO — The Philadelphia Phillies added a few defensive mishaps to their recent hitting woes.

A day after San Diego ended a 13-game home losing streak to Phillies, the Padres shut down Philadelphia 6-1 Sunday.

“We are going to test our fortitude,” said right fielder Hunter Pence, who is hitless in his last 15 at-bats. “We are going to test our resolve right here, especially in Philly. I have all the confidence within. I owe a lot to my teammates, the way I’ve been swinging

Liriano went five innings, allowing five runs, three hits and four walks. The left-hander has given up 22 runs, 25 hits and 13 walks over 16 1-3 innings this season.

Josh Willingham went 0 for 2, which ended his seasonopening 15-game hitting streak that had tied Kirby Puckett’s Twins’ record set in 1994. Willingham walked once and was hit by a pitch.

Rangers 3, Tigers 2

DETROIT — Alberto Gonzalez’s squeeze bunt turned into an RBI infield single in the 11th inning, and the Texas Rangers went on to beat the Detroit Tigers.

With the bases loaded and nobody out, Gonzalez bunted back to pitcher Thad Weber (0-1), who had no play at the plate on runner Nelson Cruz.

Weber froze with the ball, and first baseman Miguel Cabrera struggled to get back to the bag in time. Everybody was safe, and Texas took the lead.

Blue Jays 5, Royals 3

Orioles 3, Angels 2

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Nick Markakis hit a two-run single in the eighth inning and a runscoring single in the 10th, leading the Baltimore Orioles to a victory over the Los Angeles Angels.

LaTroy Hawkins (0-1) came on in the 10th and issued a leadoff walk to No. 9 hitter Robert Andino, who advanced on a sacrifice by Endy Chavez and a groundout by J.J. Hardy before Markakis grounded a hard single up the middle that deflected off the glove of second baseman Howie Kendrick and into center field on a 1-2 pitch.

Athletics 5, Indians 1

OAKLAND, Calif. — Seth Smith hit a two-run homer, helping Tyson Ross get his first win in nearly a year as the Oakland Athletics avoided a series sweep with a victory over the Cleveland Indians.

Cliff Pennington had two hits and drove in two runs for the A’s, who ended a two-game slide and have won four of six.

White Sox 7, Mariners 4

SEATTLE (AP) — Alex Rios got three hits and drove in three runs as the Chicago White Sox completed a series sweep of the Seattle Mariners with a victory.

A day after Phil Humber pitched a perfect game for the White Sox, John Danks (2-2) went six innings for the win.

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com

Time to panic? Just let our trusty meter decide When Albert Pujols put pen to paper on Dec. 10, 2011, he not only became a Los Angeles Angel of Anaheim, he also entered a higher tax bracket - a $240 million tax bracket.

To put it in terms the average baseball fan would understand, that’s enough moola to buy 30 million ballpark beers, 60 million hot dogs, 80 million pretzels and 2,821 Platinum Edition Cadillac Escalades. And, so far, ZERO home runs.

In 14 games, Pujols has a .262 average, 5 RBIs and has gone yard as many times as the Angels’ Rally Monkey.

That’s not going to last. At least for Pujols. It’s a good bet the Rally Monkey’s HR numbers will stay where they are.

RICH SHEPOSH FANTASY BASEBALL Pujols has been the game’s best hitter over the past decade, so even figuring on a slight adjustment period to a new league, his final numbers should be in the 35 to 40 HR, 110 RBI range.

If you must panic with only nine percent of the season in the books, save your knees bent, running around behavior for some other guys not living up to expectations.

Using the world famous Tufnel Rating Scale -- it goes to 11 – let’s run a few highly drafted players through the Panic-OMeter, asking the question: How worried should we be their early season struggles will continue.

TIM LINCECUM, SP, GIANTS: The human body was not

designed to throw a baseball overhand. It was especially not designed to throw it the way Tim Lincecum does. Almost from the start, scouts marveled at his stuff, but cautioned his whirling dervish motion would come back to bite him. Is that the case this year? After three starts, an 0-2 record and 10.54 ERA does not bode well. Another red flag: His strike out rate has been declining in recent season. In 2008 he K’d 265 in 227 inning. In 2011, he was down to 220 strikeouts in 217 innings. He may recover and put it together for 2012. Or, his arm could fall off. Watch him closely. PANIC METER: 8 GIANCARLO STANTON, OF, MARLINS: When he went by the name of Mike Stanton, he hit 56 home runs. Now that he’s known as Giancarlo, he’s demonstrating Rally Monkey-type power. Tout-

ed as one of the next, great young power hitters, with 40plus HR potential, Stanton has a big, fat bagel in the homer column. The problem could be just a slow start. A lot of power hitters take time to get going. But the Marlins also have a new ballpark with a neon green paint job, dancing fish and -- more relevant -- cavernous outfield dimensions. It may have some impact on his power. PANIC METER: 6 JOSH JOHNSON, SP, MARLINS: When Roy Halladay pitched a perfect game in 2010, what gets overlooked is he HAD to be perfect that day. Because Johnson was his opponent.

When healthy, Johnson’s one of the game’s best pitchers. When healthy, he can flirt with 100 mph. When healthy, he can contend for the Cy Young. But guess what he can’t stay? Yup.

He was shut down after nine games in 2011 and now he’s struggling to regain his form.

Chances are good he’ll help fantasy owners and start putting up better numbers as he gets more innings. That is, if he can stay … what? Anyone? Anyone?

Bueller? PANIC METER: 6 ADAM WAINWRIGHT, SP, CARDINALS: Think of what St. Louis would have been last year with this guy in their rotation.

Wainwright was the team’s best pitcher before he underwent Tommy John surgery in February of 2011. The comeback trail has not been kind to him in 2012, as is evident by a 9.88 ERA and 0-3 record. But, there is hope. Typical recovery time from Tommy John (the surgery, not the former pitcher) is 12to-18 months. Wainwright is 15 months into the process. By mid-summer, he should be fine.

Ben Curtis picks up Texas win

Move may not be fatal one after all

The Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO — Six years later, Ben Curtis is a PGA Tour champion again.

His victory Sunday in the Texas Open didn’t come easy.

Neither did his words describing the redemption of nearly a decade spent falling from British Open champion to, this year, waiting by the phone simply for a chance to play.

His voice quivered, and his eyes welled up.

“It’s been a tough couple years just fighting through it,” Curtis said.

Holding off Matt Every and John Huh in a tense back-nine finish, Curtis finished with flourish by holing a 12-footer for birdie on the par-5 18th, sealing a two-stroke victory and his fourth PGA Tour title.

His even-par 72 put him at 9 under and triggered a wave of emotions that Curtis said he didn’t know were in him.

Curtis won $1,116,000 and a two-year tour exemption — a more meaningful reward after being relegated to a status so low that this victory came in just the fourth PGA Tour event he managed to get into this year.

“You think you’re just staying positive and not worried about it, but I think deep down, you realize all the hard work you put in that, you know, finally paid off,” Curtis said.

It was 2003 when Curtis kissed the Claret Jug at Royal St. George’s with a square jawline and closely cropped black hair. This time, he was handed a pair of cowboy boots, smiling with a rounder face and a better appreciation of the journey.

“When you come out here and win one, well, if I win one every year I have a great career. That would be true,” Curtis said. “But, you know, to get to three, four, five wins — you’re a solid player. I just feel like you get yourself into contention and just have that

mainly because the Flyers defense blocked 40 shots..

“They were very good today at blocking shots,” Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. “The Flyers played their best defensive game of the series today.”

“Our D,” Giroux said, “was unbelievable.”

When shots did get through, Bryz was there to stop them.

Finally.

After allowing 21 goals through the first five games of the series, Bryzgalov turned away nine shots while holding Pitts-

belief, and anything can happen.”

Every had a 71 and lost a chance at his first tour win with a shaky putter. Huh roared back with a 69, but the Mayakoba Classic winner fell just short of completing what would have been a remarkable comeback.

Huh nearly withdrew Thursday when he plunged to 5 over through only his first three holes and finished with a 77.

But he rebounded with rounds of 68 and 67 to give Curtis and Every another player to worry about Sunday.

“I didn’t really expect too much, final round,” Huh said.

While Huh’s first round was ultimately too big of a hole to overcome, Every couldn’t close the deal after starting the tournament with a courserecord 63. Four blown putts from 9 feet or closer — including a 6-footer for birdie — kept Every a stroke back until Curtis birdied No. 18.

It was nonetheless a validating week for the 28-year-old Floridian, whose only name recognition in three winless years on the tour was a misdemeanor marijuana arrest as a rookie in 2010. That earned a PGA Tour suspension, and even now, Every’s official biog-

raphy lists regaining his tour privileges as his biggest achievement.

“A little bummed out,” Every said. “Kind of a pillow fight there for a while between the three of us.”

If missing one badly needed putt after another was a learning experience, Every didn’t want to hear it.

“Been hearing that for about 15 years,” Every said. “But I don’t know, man. I mean they got to go in sometimes and it didn’t today, but maybe it will one day. Saving for something bigger, maybe.”

Legends Of Golf SAVANNAH, Ga. — David Frost and Michael Allen won the Champions Tour’s Legends of Golf, shooting a 10-under 62 for a one-stroke victory over John Cook and Joey Sindelar in the better-ball event.

Front and Allen, coming off a victory last week at TPC Tampa Bay, finished at 29under 187 at The Club at Savannah Harbor. Cook and Sindelar, former Ohio State teammates, closed with a 61.

Andy Bean and Chien Soon Lu (62), Jeff Sluman and Brad Faxon (63), and Tom Purtzer and Brad Bryant (64) tied for third at 27 under.

“Right off the bat, being able to get the first goal was huge to kind of get the momentum . It kind of got the fans into it.”

Flyers star Claude Giroux On his first period goal

burgh scoreless in the first period, stopped 10 more in the second and 12 in the third.

“Blocking shots, protecting the net, that’s how you win when two even teams play against each other,” Bryzgalov said. “Everybody just sacrificed themselves for this game.”

The only goal the Penguins managed came on Evgeni Mal-

kin’s unassisted shot on a secondperiod power play.

But just like most of Philadelphia’s wins went during this series, the Flyers immediately answered when Danny Briere slid a puck past Penguins goalie MarcAndre Fleury just 36 seconds later for a 4-1 advantage.

The Flyers wrapped up the scoring when Brayden Schenn

Maybe it won’t be so bad after all.

The move of girls soccer to the fall, that is.

When the PIAA decided all girls soccer must be played in the fall starting this year, the situation looked glum for the Wyoming Valley Conference. Some programs were struggling with numbers at the time and, combined with competing with the monster known as field hockey, there was a chance some school might have to drop girls soccer.

Some still might. At least three, according to one source, aren’t sure if they’ll have enough players in the fall. The WVC made a smart move in tossing all the girls soccer teams into one division for the fall for just one year. That way, if some programs fold the remaining teams will still play the same number of games.

Once things settle down, then proper divisional alignments can be made, perhaps for the 2013 season.

The 2013 season will be key, according to a few coaches.

The prevailing feeling is 2012 will be a little rough with the quick turnaround. But once that’s complete, those coaches believe things will stabilize.

As one coach put it, soccer might lose some players to field hockey but will have a chance to get athletes from two spring sports – softball and track.

Let’s hope so. Girls soccer has been around since 1990. It would be a shame to see it come apart at the seams.

JOHN ERZAR NOTEBOOK will be Class A. The breakdown of District 2 is: six Class 3A teams; 19 Class 2A teams; and 12 Class A teams.

With the WVC and Lackawanna Conference competing for spots, it will be interesting to see how the playoffs are set up. Also, DelVal, Honesdale and North Pocono are jumping from the WVC to the Lackawanna Conference.

FALL CLASSIFICATIONS Three current WVC teams will be Class 3A for the fall seasons in 2012 and 2013 – Delaware Valley, Hazleton Area and Wyoming Valley West. All the rest will be Class 2A with the exception of MMI Prep and Wyoming Seminary, which

PLAYOFFS DATES SET As expected, the bulk of the District 2 playoffs will be the week of May 21.

Ten teams make the playoffs: four Division 1-A teams; three Division 1-B teams; two Division 2-A teams and one Division 2-B team.

The soccer committee will seed the teams on Wednesday, May 16. The first round will be Friday, May 18, or Saturday, May 19.

The first round will have the No. 10 seed at the No 7 seed and the No. 9 seed at the No. 8 seed.

The quarterfinals will be Monday, May 21. The No. 10 vs. No. 7 winner will be at the No. 2 seed. The No. 9 vs. No. 8 winner will be at the No. 1 seed. The No. 6 seed will be at the No. 3 seed. And the No. 5 seed will be at the No. 4 seed.

The semifinals are Wednesday, May 23, and the championship Friday, May 25. Those games will be at neutral sites with artificial turf.

The only guarantee is the Division 1-A champion will be the top seed. After that, it could be interesting. Usually, the 1-A runner-up is the second seed. But if Berwick finishes second and Lake-Lehman wins Division 1-B, it might come down to how much weight the committee puts in Lehman’s 2-1 victory over the Dawgs.

hit an open net with eight seconds remaining on the game clock.

“I’d like to congratulate the Flyers and their organization on their series win,” Bylsma said.

They got it by lifting the puck and elevating themselves past Pittsburgh – that is,, when the Flyers weren’t forcing it home.

Giroux’s first shot went sailing over Fleury’s right shoulder and into the net, and Gustafsson’s goal in the second period was a low laser that eluded Fleury.

Two other Flyers goals were pretty fluky.

Hartnell shoved home the game’s second score by poking a loose puck just across the goal line – as it was sitting between

Fleury’s legs following an initial stop. And Briere’s goal 9:10 into the third period was registered when Fleury appeared to knock down a hard shot from Flyers winger Jakub Voracek, but the Penguins goalie unknowingly knocked the puck over the goal with his leg.

It all happened through extra effort, Giroux said.

“Guys were playing hard,” he noticed.

Because of that, the Flyers avoided blowing a 3-0 series lead and returning to Pittsburgh for a seventh and deciding game of the series.

“We didn’t want to go back to Pittsburgh,” Giroux said.

Instead, the Flyers are going to

Nadal beats Djokovic to win Monte Carlo final

By JEROME PUGMIRE AP Sports Writer

MONACO — Rafael Nadal finally managed to beat Novak Djokovic in a final, thrashing the topranked Serb 6-3, 6-1 on Sunday to win the Monte Carlo Masters for the eighth consecutive year and end a run of seven straight defeats to his rival in title matches.

Nadal was hardly troubled by Djokovic in this one and broke the Serb’s serve five times in a one-sided affair on clay to win his 42nd straight match at Monte Carlo. It was his first title since last year’s French Open and the 47th of his career.

“I always loved this tournament since I was a kid. One of my dreams was play here,” Nadal

tive Grand Slam finals and handed him his only defeats on clay last year.

“Winning against Novak in (the) final after losing a few ones is important for me,” Nadal said.

“My level of tennis was high during the last four matches.”

Nadal was also relieved to come through the tournament without further aggravating his troublesome left knee, having rested it and had treatment for three weeks before coming to Monte Carlo.

“I am very happy because my knee is not limiting (my) movement. I can run 100 percent,” Nadal said. “You have pain, but (if) you feel you can run to every ball, (then) the pain never is a prob-

said. “It’s a historic tournament (where) you see all your idols when you are a kid playing here.”

The 25-year-old Nadal thrust his hands in the air after clinching victory in style with an ace that flew past the beleaguered Djokovic, who beat Nadal in an epic Australian Open final this year.

“If you see the finals I win here, all the finals are against probably top-six players,” Nadal said.

“That’s something that makes the victories even more difficult.”

Nadal now leads their head-tohead series 17-14, but it was his first win against Djokovic since an early match at the 2010 ATP Finals in London. The Serb had beaten Nadal in three consecu-

lem.”

Nadal has won a record 20 Masters titles, putting him one ahead of 16-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer.

Djokovic, who has been playing through grief since the death of his grandfather Thursday, said he felt emotionally drained and was unable to summon the mental strength he needed to dig deep against Nadal.

“I definitely don’t want to take away anything from Rafa’s win.

He was a better player,” Djokovic said. “But it’s a fact that I just didn’t have any emotional energy AP PHOTO left in me.”

Djokovic’s grandfather was Rafael Nadal reacts after defeating Novak Djokovic during their buried back home in Serbia on final match of the Monte Carlo Tennis Masters tournament in Monaco on Sunday.

the game after beginning the day with the fewest errors (six) and best fielding percentage (.990) in the league.

Nick Hundley homered, tripled and drove in a career-high four runs, leading Anthony Bass and the Padres to a split of the four-game series. San Diego has its first two-game winning streak of the season.

“We have to stay strong within and keep pushing, keep attacking and keep believing that we are going to hit better than we are hitting,” Pence said.

Hundley, who began the season in an 0-for-21 slump, hit a sacrifice fly in the first inning, an RBI triple in the third and two-run homer in the fifth off Joe Blanton (1-3). Hundley has hit safely in six of his last seven games, going 10 for 26 over that stretch.

“He hung a curveball out over the plate that I got good,” Hundley said. “I don’t think my swing ever left, I think my approach and my mental state was terrible early on. I think my swing was OK, I just had to keep battling.”

Bass (1-2) pitched three-hit ball for six innings and allowed an unearned run. He walked five and struck out a careerhigh seven in his sixth major league start.

Three Padres pitchers combined to hold Philadelphia scoreless over the final four innings.

The split gave San Diego its first non-losing series of the season. The Padres have not won a series against Philadelphia since taking a three-game set in July 2006.

“I’m sick of those guys, and it’s not from anything they do except for beating us,” Padres third baseman Chase Headley said. “We play OK, but it just seems like every time they come in here, they’re playing well and getting every break you can get, and we’re just not.

It was nice to not have to answer that question today.”

Each team made three errors, accounting for four unearned runs in the game.

“The last two nights were just bad games,” Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. “Today, it got a little bit sloppier.

It’s been a while since we played this bad. I look at it like this is a test. It’s a test for the coaching staff, the manager and the players. I see guys who are trying too hard. They just need to relax and play like we can.”

Blanton yielded six runs — three earned — on seven hits over six innings. He struck out two and walked two.

Stoll send Kings to 2nd round with OT goal VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Jarret Stoll beat Cory Schneider with a wrist shot at 4:27 of overtime to give the Los Angeles Kings a 2-1 victory over Vancouver on Sunday night, knocking out the top-seeded Canucks in five games in the Western Conference first-round series.

Brad Richardson tied it for Los Angeles at 3:21 of the third period, and Jonathan Quick made 26 saves.

Bruins 4, Capitals 3 WASHINGTON — Tyler Seguin scored at 3:17 of overtime, Tim Thomas made 36 saves, and defending Stanley Cup champion Boston beat Washington to force a seventh game in the Eastern Confer-

ence series.

Game 7 is Wednesday night in Boston.

In overtime, David Krejci intercepted a pass by Nicklas Backstrom and sent the puck to Milan Lucic, who passed ahead to Seguin. Seguin, who entered the game without a point in the series, veered slightly to his right to draw goalie Braden Holtby from the net, then lifted a shot past the rookie to win it.

The Bruins took a 3-2 lead at 11:51 of the third period on Andrew Ference’s goal, but Alex Ovechkin tie it with 4:52 left in regulation.

a great wrestling school,” Pasone said. “Everything worked out for me there and it set up good.”

Pasone said he will be getting his letter of intent on Wednesday and will sign it shortly after he receives it. Other finalists to land to standout were George Mason, Clarion, Eastern Michigan and Lock Haven.

But the deciding factor was the site.

“As soon as I walked on campus, I thought it was a great place to live. I just felt so comfortable on campus,” added Pasone, who

will receive a scholarship.

He is joining a program that was in shambles in before Benley took over in 2008 with several off mat issues, academic problems and not much success wrestling.

Since then, the team has been on the rise and is now ranked 13th in the country as a team academically and crowned a pair of all-Americans this past season.

The two all-Americans for the school in the same year is the first time that happened since 1941.

The plan is for Pasone to be

redshirted for the 2012-13 season. But current 125-pounder for the Mountaineers has been injured often, so Pasone may still be able to crack the starting lineup next season.

Pasone will major in history and secondary education with hopes of becoming a history teacher.

“I can’t wrestle my whole life,” he noted.

But he can for the next four or five years and may become the next all-American to come out of the Wyoming Valley Conference.

Schneider made 35 saves in his third straight start after Roberto Luongo lost the first two games.

The Kings will play the St. Louis Blues in the second round.

BATAVIA, N.Y. – Originally scheduled to play two seven inning games as part of a doubleheader, the Scranton/WilkesBarre Yankees were forced to settle for one nine-inning game and a come-from-behind victory over the Norfolk Tides.

The Yankees rallied from a 5-2 deficit to knock off Norfolk 6-5 in what was a home game for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

The Tides took the 5-2 lead into the bottom of the seventh, but Scranton rallied to knot the score with a two-out rally. Jayson Nix and DeWayne Wise hit back-toback doubles to pull the Yankees within 5-3, and after a walk to Steve Pearce put runners on first and second, Jack Cust tied the

terno statue outside the stadium to the charity 5K race run in Paterno’s honor Sunday, fans paid tribute to the Hall of Fame coach who died in January at age 85.

“It’s nice to know that the support and the love is all there, because all the people who love and support ... he’s been a part of them for so many years,” Paterno’s widow, Sue Paterno, said before the race Sunday. “They’re feeling a loss like we’re feeling a loss. Our (loss) is maybe more acute.”

The spring football game marked the first event at the stadium since her husband’s death.

Many alumni still question the circumstances behind Paterno’s ouster last November by university trustees in the aftermath of child sexual abuse charges against Jerry Sandusky.

The retired defensive coordinator has maintained his innocence and awaits trial. Paterno testified before a grand jury investigating Sandusky that he relayed a 2002 allegation brought to him by a graduate assistant to his campus superiors, including the administrator overseeing the police department.

Authorities have said Paterno wasn’t a target of the probe. The Board of Trustees ousted him, citing in part a moral obligation to do more to alert authorities outside the school, and a “failure of leadership.”

But unless the subject came up in conversation, there were no outward displays by fans of protest against school administrators or trustees over the weekend. Fans were eager to see what the team looked like under

or to the whole field, and we just needed some kind of change — the weather, an adjustment — to make something happen,” Hamlin said, smiling. “And we got both of them.”

game with a two-run double to center off Norfolk reliever Zach Phillips.

The Yankees took the lead one inning later, as Willie Eyre (0-3) loaded the bases on a double and two walks. Chris George was summoned from the bullpen, and his first pitch eluded catcher Luis Exposito for a wild pitch, allowing Ramiro Pena to score the goahead run.

Norfolk put the tying run on in the ninth inning, but Kevin Whelan retired pinch-hitter Jai Miller on a popout to end the threat and register his fourth save of the season.

Chase Whitley (2-1) picked up the victory, pitching one scoreless inning.

O’Brien.

“It seems like he’s genuinely excited to do new things and to put a good team out there, but he’s also respectful of tradition,” said Curtin, 39, of Annapolis, Md. “So far I like him.”

Inside the stadium, there were no apparent mentions during the spring game of Paterno’s name over the sound system. No images of Paterno were seen on video boards.

Like Curtin, dozens of alumni, students and other spectators wore attire that offered some kind of reminder of Paterno.

Some people donned “Joe Knows Football” T-shirts, a play off the old Nike ad campaign slogan featuring Bo Jackson.

Others wore T-shirts or sweatshirts that read “Team Paterno” on the front and “Make an Impact” on the back — the latter phrase referencing a command from Joe Paterno’s father, Angelo, to his son.

The “Team Paterno” shirts were a gift to some donors for the cause of Sunday’s race, Special Olympics of Pennsylvania, a charity long championed by Sue Paterno.

“We were in it together,” Sue Paterno said when asked about the “Team Paterno” phrase. “I said, ‘I help you all the time. Now you help me.’ He got hooked ... It turned out to be a real good tagline this year.”

The charity said Sunday it hoped to raise nearly $300,000 from the race, which would triple the amount it raised last year.

“I’m 55 years-old, and I’ve never known another coach here,” Rich Ellers, a lifelong season-ticket holder from Centre Hall, said Saturday at the Paterno statue.

“His spirit will live on. He’ll never be gone in that sense.”

“I was just watching from the third spot, hoping those guys would give me an opportunity,” Johnson said. “I just wish I was closer to those guys to race for it.”

Hamlin’s best finish at Kansas had been third last year, and for most of Sunday he was content to ride around during long green-flag runs out of the spotlight. His car kept getting better with each stop, though, and his Toyota finally took off at the end.

Just as the sun finally poked through on an unseasonably cold day.

Daughter’s law school loans weigh heavily on her parents’ conscience Dear Abby: My wife and I are 50-year-old professionals who have paid every penny of two daughters’ four-year college educations. Our oldest, “Lana,” went on to law school and has incurred well in excess of $100,000 in law school loan debt. She has struggled to find a job as an attorney, and I’m no longer sure she still wants to practice law. Lana is married to a medical student who also has significant student loan debt.

Two nights ago I made the mistake of telling Lana that her mother and I would help her pay off her student loans. I regret having opened my mouth. She and her husband spend their money on frivolous luxuries and

DEAR ABBY ADVICE are not responsible financially.

My wife and I live frugally. We withdrew money from our retirement accounts to help fund our daughters’ college educations. We now need to increase our retirement contributions and pay for maintenance and repairs to our home that we delayed.

Although we have always helped our children financially, we can no longer afford to trade our financial security and our present standard of living to support them. I would appreciate some advice. This may be an issue affecting a lot of parents.

— Spoke Too Soon in Pennsylvania

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

Dear Spoke Too Soon: Before making any promises to your daughter, you should have reviewed your retirement plans with your financial adviser. It’s still not too late to do that, and once you do you should inform Lana that, upon review, you now realize that giving her more money will compromise your plans for retirement.

You should also explain that you have deferred important repairs to your home because the money was directed instead to her education.

The problem with deferring maintenance is it usually costs more than if the problems had been dealt with promptly, which is why you are, regrettably, unable to bail her out of her student loans. It may be the wake-up call Lana needs that it’s time to assume her own responsibilities.

CRYPTOQUOTE

Dear Abby: My mom and I have been travel agents for 15 years. My cousin, whom I have always been close to, asked to join our business multiple times over the past few years and we always said yes.

A few months ago I learned that she went behind our backs and started her own travel agency. When I confronted her about hiding it from us, she denied it. Then one day I went over to her new office. She said she hadn’t wanted to hurt our feelings, but she already has. She says I’m being “irrational” for not supporting her, but I think she was wrong for not joining us and going off on her own.

Do you think our relationship can be saved?

— Family Matters in Oklahoma

Dear Family Matters: Your cousin should have been forthright about starting her own business instead of hiding it. It is not “irrational” to feel hurt that she didn’t level with you, and that was her mistake.

However, this is a free country, and your cousin had a right to change her mind about joining you. Your relationship can be fixed as long as you and your mother accept that she had a right to go into business for herself if she wished, and refrain from discussing business when you’re together.

To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed 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.

HOROSCOPE

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Paradoxically, the people who have hurt you are also the ones who most need your kindness.

They need your forgiveness so as not to suffer the tyranny of their own guilt and the continued negativity it promotes.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are in a funny, playful mood, and wherever you go, you are likely to bring gifts. Your smile, your laughter and your flirtatious attention are delightful bonuses.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). To exercise personal restraint requires much more energy than it does to simply react to every trigger or follow every impulse. Your restraint is an act of love, and it’s worth the effort.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). While trying to build someone up, you might stretch the truth with extraordinary compliments that are not exactly well deserved, although there’s no harm in making a person feel good.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Only others who work hard and play hard will truly understand your lifestyle.

You may find yourself trying to explain it, but unless they fall into that category, it’s a worthless effort.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You think before you speak, so you rarely commit a faux pas. If you do say something that doesn’t land quite right, it’s only because you’ve been misinformed or have made an incorrect assumption.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The excitement builds. You are open, and you are curious. People will connect with you and love you for what you can bring to them.

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). Know what you’re good at, because if you don’t, you’ll miss the chance to sell it. By the end of the month, you will find a perfect showcase for your work.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You reach out in one way and then find it difficult to make a difference in other ways.

Learning will help you. With a little more knowledge, you’ll bridge the gap.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Most workers never get thanked for their contributions. You’ll turn this around by acknowledging those who help you and standing up for their compensatory rights.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will bump into an old friend or someone you’ve wanted to know for a while but, for whatever reason, haven’t had the occasion to connect with.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are so used to seeing a certain person as very powerful that you may find it difficult to see how vulnerable this person also is.

Lead with your natural empathy, and you’ll understand the truth.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 23).

You’ll apply a perfect blend of logic and intuition to your projects and wind up with inspired solutions for making your life and the lives of others a whole lot better. You’ll take on a personal challenge in May. A special relationship grows even tighter through June. You could be moving to be near someone you love in the fall. Aries and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 24, 39 and 17.
