A wage freeze is possible for staff and lower financial aid rewards for students. By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE – King’s College Board of Trustees will meet today to discuss a multi-million dollar shortfall in the 2012-13 budget that may mean a wage freeze
for staff and lower financial aid rewards for incoming students. Those financial aid rewards, an Ryan amount taken out of the college’s budget resources to provide students with lower out-of-pocket costs for tuition, are at the heart of what’s pro-
jected to be a $4.5 million operating loss for the upcoming fiscal year. That follows a $2 million operating loss this current fiscal year and a $1 million operating loss the previous fiscal year. In an email sent to the King’s College staff and faculty this week, Father John J. Ryan, president of the school, said that while he was “not surprised by a projected budgeted operating loss for (2013), I

Benjamin Tyrell Westbrooks, of West Hazleton, sentenced to life in prison without parole.
WILKES-BARRE – After deliberating Friday for more than seven hours, a Luzerne County jury found Benjamin Tyrell Westbrooks guilty of first-degree murder in the November 2010 shooting death of Alicia Weaver. Westbrooks, 22, of West Hazleton, then asked to be immediately sentenced on the charge, which Westbrooks carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole. And that was the sentence Judge Tina Polachek Gartley gave Westbrooks. “Justice is never served,” Westbrooks said while leaving the Luzerne County Courthouse. Westbrooks said Weaver’s killer is Brandon Crum. Westbrooks said he will be filing an appeal. Prosecutors say Westbrooks shot and killed Weaver in a wooded area in Foster Township after the two argued about money. Westbrooks allegedly said Weaver owed him. Prosecutors identify Weaver as a prostitute and Westbrooks as her pimp. Defense attorneys alleged during the week-long trial that Crum, who was in the vehicle when Westbrooks allegedly pulled over on a dirt road where Weaver was killed, was the shooter, and had placed the gun at the crime scene sometime later. “It was a long trial, with a lot of witnesses,” Assistant District Attorney William Finnegan said, who prosecuted the case with fellow ADA Shannon Crake. “Nothing can bring Alicia back … but we got (her family) a first-degree conviction.” During a brief sentencing hearing, Weaver’s mother and sister spoke with Polachek Gartley, as well as a man who identified himself as Weaver’s foster father. “We just wanted justice for my sister,” Weaver’s sister Christine said. “Now, she can rest in peace. We’re glad it’s all over.” Weaver’s family characterized

West Side cosmetology students provide prep power
Pretty for prom By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com
PRINGLE – OK, it’s prom day. You need hair curled, nails painted and eyebrows made extra-alluring. You could go to a salon and pay the premium to pros, or go where pros learn their tricks: West Side Career and Technology Center’s cosmetology room. “We do this twice a year,” teacher Mary Ellen Morris said, “Once for the semi-formal, once for the prom.” The classroom became promprep central Friday morning as cosmetology trainees worked their craft on fellow West Side students as well as each other for the school prom that night. Junior Tywanda Jones wove a “double French braid” in senior Jackie Joseph’s hair as effortlessly as most people don socks. And that was only half the job. “I’m getting it curled, too,” Jackie said. How long does all this haute coiffure hold up? “Until I wash it in the morning.” Junior Jessica Mitchell was finishing up about 45 minutes spent getting her locks wound around a curling iron in small doses administered by senior Lindsey Kelly. “Her hair was poker straight when she came in this morning,” Morris said, pointing to the cascading ringlets. “It doesn’t matter how they walk in, they walk out looking like a million bucks.” All for a fee to cover the cost of materials, no labor charge. While Jessica had locks long enough to curl, Lindsey’s natural strands were decidedly too short, but not to worry. She picked up an extension that matcher her color perfectly and

said “Here’s my hair.” In fact, as Morris walked around the room pointing to every girl with extensions clipped to and hidden by their natural manes, it started to look like a good time to invest in bobby pins. Asked how many of the little hair clips sere being used in one morning, Morris laughed, pointed to empty boxes on a table. “We’ve probably used about a thousand so far.” While hair was at the, er, top of
the styling “to do list,” students also got eyebrow and eyelash work, pedicures and nail polish. Sophomore Samantha Weiss showed off still-drying fingernails painted in white, green and silver. Why those colors? “My dress is forest green,” she answered. And lest you think this is all nothing more but fluff and froufrou, remember: They aren’t just getting ready for the prom, they’re getting ready for a profession.
Two women hospitalized in crash
SAN FRANCISCO — Crab fishermen working off the Northern California coast have managed to free a gray whale that was tangled in a large fishing line and that had disappeared after a previous rescue attempt, federal wildlife officials said. Fisherman Mark Anello was out on his 48-foot wooden crab boat Thursday about 31⁄2 miles off the coast near Bodega Bay, located about 67 miles north of San Francisco. A fourth-generation fisherman, Anello noticed something odd near his boat: three buoys floating nearby were moving. He motored closer to investigate. Anello and two others on his
boat the Point Ommaney found the orange and white buoys connected to a whale that measured close to the length of his vessel, said Tony Anello, Mark’s father. “They come up slowly alongside the whale, and the whale started fighting at first,” the elder Anello said. “Then the whale decided to calm down.” Using 12-foot, bamboo poles with hooks on the end, Mark Anello and his crew spent 90 minutes freeing the 40-ton mammal, which had been nicknamed “June” by rescuers who had earlier tried to free the marine mammal. Once the creature was free from the ropes, nets and buoys it took a lap around the vessel.
Charter school approves review for identifying gifted students By JANINE UNGVARSKY Times Leader Correspondent
BEAR CREEK TWP. – The Board of Trustees for the Bear Creek Community Charter School Thursday night approved a new three- part review process for identifying gifted students. Gifted Program Coordinator Kara Rogers provided a presentation on the program, which includes three tiers of assessment: classroom-wide assessment, parental referral and formal review by the gifted multi-disciplinary team and school psychologist. The approach is aimed at identifying those students in need of enrichment in the most efficient manner possible. In a related manner, the board
reviewed the job description for the gifted program coordinator/ foreign language teacher but tabled action on any revisions to a future meeting. The board also took its first look at the proposed 2012-13 budget totaling $4,796,632. The trustees are expected to approve the budget at their June meeting. In other business, the board heard updates on the planned school cleanup to be held on the school grounds this weekend, the school flag football game scheduled for May 12, the spring concert on May 15, the Probability Carnival under the big top on the school grounds on May 17 and the Junior National Honor Society inductions on May 22.

WILKES-BARRE – Bringing naturalgas powered vehicles to Pennsylvania’s roadways requires more than an abundant supply of cheap gas. It requires an upgraded distribution network bringing gas to public filling stations that by and large haven’t been built; auto companies and aftermarket outfitters to build the vehicles, fleet owners to buy them and government assistance to get it all off the ground. That was the picture painted by speakers at “The Road to Efficient Fleets,” a conference hosted by local engineering firm Borton-Lawson, the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce and hotel owner Gus Genetti Friday at the Genetti Hotel and Conference Center in Wilkes-Barre.
For the 100 representatives of municipalities, businesses and state and local agencies and authorities attending, the program offered a comprehensive overview of natural gas vehicle technologies and outlined a roadmap for local municipalities and businesses interested in converting their fleet vehicle to run on natural gas. Cynthia Williams, Environmental Policy Manager for the Ford Motor Co., said her company is in the process of launching a series of vehicles specially designed for natural gas conversion and building its network of certified “upfitters” to install the conversion kits. The company is exploring many alternative fuels and considers natural gas a strong medium and long-term alternative, she said. “CNG we see as a long-term-viable

Jewish War Veterans Memorial in Hazleton rededicated after being cleaned up. First dedication was 1959. By JERRY LYNOTT jlynott@timesleader.com
HAZLETON – For a second, it sounded as if Joe “Sarge” Heintz was back in the Army. “Atenchut,” barked the 82-year-old former 1st Sgt. as he called fellow veterans to attention at the rededication of the Jewish War Veterans Memorial. In unison they saluted as the flag was raised Friday afternoon outside the former Jewish Community Center on North Laurel Street. Heintz organized the project to clean up the memorial after a neighbor, Jessica Husty, brought it to the attention of state Rep. Tara Toohil, R-Hazleton. “These people gave their lives for this country,” said Heintz. Originally dedicated in 1959 by the Cohn Kase Post 287, the flagpole and concrete base with a plaque that read “In Memory of All Men and Women Who Made the Supreme Sacrifice” had fallen into disrepair. World War II veteran David B. Levin, 89, was commander of the post and chairman of the committee to dedicate the memorial 53 years ago. In a clear plastic sleeve he carried a yellowed newspaper clipping of the event. The post was named for Sgts. Harry Cohn and Louis Kase, who were killed in action, he said. It has since merged with a post in Wilkes-Barre. “It’s wonderful,” said Levin of the project. “I often thought of doing it myself, but I didn’t have anybody to back me.” A new rope was installed, a new flag attached to it, the plaque and base were cleaned, the area around it was spruced up and lights were installed to illuminate it at night. Toohil thanked all those involved in the project and said it was a community effort. “First of all it really goes to show … how much we really do appreciate all of you veterans and that we do not forget the sacrifices and the blood and the sweat and the tears and the lives, the ultimate sacrifices that have been paid for this country,” she told the crowd of approximately 40 people.

Edward Awdakimow raises the flag at the rededication of the Jewish War Veterans Memorial on North Laurel Street in Hazleton on Friday afternoon. The memorial was originally dedicated in 1959 outside the former JCC.
Looking around at the veterans wearing hats embroidered American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars and AMVETS, Sam Greenberg of Kingston paused to collect his thoughts. “Right now what it means is that it’s brotherhood,” said the 84-year-old past national commander of the Jewish War Veterans. “This is what it’s all about, to recognize that we’re veterans regardless of race, creed or color,” he said. “This will
live on. This will live on.” Husty, who has a son in the U.S. Marines who served in Iraq, had seen the memorial at its worst. She read the dedication on it and starting making calls, she said. The community appreciates the effort put into the project and Husty also took pride in it. “It gives me a great sense of security that veterans are being recognized and that freedom still rings,” she said.
Probation given to woman in stabbing Melissa Pankevitch sentenced on charge of simple assault in Wilkes-Barre incident. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE – A Lehighton woman was sentenced Friday to two years probation in a case in which police say she stabbed a man, who had been attacked with a stun gun by another man, in July 2010. Melissa Pankevitch, 28, of Jamestown Street, was sentenced by Luzerne County Senior Judge Joseph Augello on a charge of simple assault. Pankevitch pleaded guilty to the charge in March. According to court papers, on July 4, 2010, police were called to North Wash-
ington Street in Wilkes-Barre for the report of a stabbing. When police arrived, they said Pankevitch approached them and said she called 911 and that she stabbed Daniel Hannon. Hannon later told police after being treated at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Township that he was sitting on the back porch of his residence when Pankevitch and Wallace Baldwin arrived. Hannon said when the two pulled in his driveway, it was dark and that he could not see them. When he saw who it was, Hannon told Pankevitch she was not permitted to be at the home without her mother being there. Pankevitch’s mother is Hannon’s fiancée. Pankevitch allegedly said she was there for her daughter’s belongings, ac-
cording to court papers. Hannon said when he turned away from the pair, he was “zapped” by a stun gun by Baldwin. Baldwin and Hannon began to fight over the stun gun, Hannon told police, when Pankevitch approached him and he felt a sharp object strike his left side. He yelled for a friend to get help when he was allegedly stunned again in the neck, and stabbed again in the right side. Baldwin, 27, also of Lehighton, pleaded guilty in March to a charge of use of an incapacitation device and was sentenced on April 23 to four years probation in the case. Both Pankevitch and Baldwin must pay their share of $12,185 in restitution to the Victims Compensation Assistance Program and $6,905 to Daniel Hannon.
UNION TWP. – Northwest Area School District is joining Lake-Lehman School District in taking the first step necessary to withdraw from the Northeast Pennsylvania Health Trust, Superintendent Ronald Grevera said. “We are planning on submitting a letter telling them we will withdraw from the trust as of June 30, 2013,” Grevera said. Trust bylaws mandate such a letter be submitted one year before a member district pulls out. The decision follows a meeting Tuesday hosted by Lake-Lehman Superintendent Jim McGovern. Facing a severe cash crunch, McGovern aggressively looked for alternative insurance coverage and said he found plans that could save $1.1 million in the first year. Grevera said Northwest Area’s possible savings are similar. “Our district could potentially save $800,000 to $1million” he said, stressing that it depends on what insurance brokers determine after taking a closer look at the district’s needs. The trust is a consortium of area districts formed in 1999 to use collective buying power to lower insurance rates. After several years of high premium increases and recurring red ink, it began building a surplus and holding rates well below average increases market wide, but that trend has stopped in the last two years. “Our increase this year was the highest of any school district” in the trust, Grevera said, “a little bit above 10 percent. And school districts can’t continue to be in that type of situation.” Board President Randy Tomasacci was blunter. “Every plan in the world is cheaper, except the one we’re in, and most of the other plans are better,” he said. Grevera noted that submitting the letter of intent does not mean the district will definitely withdraw. The goal is to see the savings materialize, regardless of how it happens. If the trust makes changes that provide the same savings before the end of June 2013, there would be no reason to leave. “I don’t think anybody’s intention is to simply kill the trust,” Grevera said. “Our intention is to save the money.” Northwest Area joined Greater Nanticoke Area in submitting letters of intent to withdraw in 2007, but the move was blocked when the teachers union sought and received an injunction form a Luzerne County Court judge, who ruled the move could not be made without union approval. Tomasacci said discussions are being held with the union to avoid a rerun of that scenario. Pittston Area and Dallas School Districts successfully withdrew from the trust in 2007 then sued for what they claimed was their share of a trust surplus hovering around $20 million.

5 exotic animals back on Ohio farm; safety debated Animals lived on farm where Ohio man released 50 animals Oct. 18 before he killed self.
By ANN SANNER Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Five exotic animals are back on the eastern Ohio farm where they lived months ago before their owner released dozens of wild animals into the rural community, then killed himself. The widow of Terry Thompson picked up two leopards, two primates and a bear from the Columbus zoo on Friday and returned them to their former home in Zanesville where 50 animals — including black bears, mountain lions and Bengal tigers — were released Oct. 18. Authorities killed 48 of the animals, fearing for the public’s safety. Two others were presumed eaten by other animals. The surviving animals were found in cages and placed under quarantine at the zoo. Ohio’s agriculture director lifted the quarantine order Monday, after test results showed all five animals were free of dangerously contagious or infectious diseases. Thompson’s suicide, the animals’ release, and their killings led lawmakers to re-examine Ohio’s restrictions on exotic pets, which are considered some of the nation’s weakest. Now that Marian Thompson has retrieved the animals, nothing in Ohio law allows state officials to check on their welfare or
require improvements to conditions in which they are kept. The state’s agriculture department says it will be up to local authorities to be alert to their caretaking. “Ohio has done everything in its power to keep local officials informed throughout this process to ensure they had as much information as possible in advance of this threat returning to their backyard,” said David Daniels, the state’s agriculture director. Ohio lawmakers are considering legislation that would ban new ownership of dangerous animals — but grandfather in owners such as Thompson. The bill is on track to pass the Legislature this month. Should it become law, Thompson would have to register the animals with the state, obtain liability insurance and pay permit fees of at least $1,000 by 2014. She also would have to pass a background check, microchip the animals and meet strict new caretaking standards, including fencing requirements. For now, Muskingum County Sheriff Matt Lutz said there is not much local authorities can do as long as the animals are being cared for properly. “At the first complaint we have, we’ll follow up,” he said. Ron Welch, the county’s assistant prosecuting attorney, said his office made several attempts to persuade Thompson’s attorney to allow an inspector, the sheriff and a humane officer to see the cages at the property before the animals returned. They were denied.

Report implies slowing economy
B R I E F
Unemployment drops much less than expected By KEVIN G. HALL McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON — Employers added an anemic 115,000 jobs in April as a shrinking workforce shaved the unemployment rate to 8.1 percent, down slightly from 8.2 percent in March, the government said Friday in a report that’s sure to spark concerns about the economy’s sluggish recovery. Mainstream forecasters had projected about170,000 new jobs in April, but they were disappointed for the second consecutive month as a strong winter of hiring due to unseasonable warm weather seems to have moved up job creation. “The job market was soft in April, given the tepid payroll job gain and the decline in labor force participation. But it isn’t as soft as the data suggest, as it reflects payback from the very warm winter, which juiced up job gains earlier
in the year,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist for Moody’s Analytics. “Underlying job growth, abstracting from the temporary effects of the weather, is over 175,000 per month.” Part of his optimism came from revisions Friday that showed that hiring in March was 154,000, not 120,000, and that February’s sizzling initial report of 240,000 jobs was actually 259,000. Viewed over a longer stretch, the hiring picture looks stronger than the single month of April. The White House seized on this theme. “With upward revisions of 65,000 (privatesector) jobs to the past two months’ employment reports, in the first quarter of 2012 private employment expanded by 697,000 jobs, the largest quarterly increase since the first quarter of 2006,” Alan Krueger, the head of the White House Council of Economic Advisers,
said in a statement. “So far this year, 827,000 private-sector jobs have been added, on net.” Government job losses — on the federal, state and local levels —drag against that number, however. Private-sector employers added 130,000 jobs in April, but the overall number was lower because of the 15,000 government jobs that were lost during the month. The jobless rate, which fell by a tenth of a percentage point, is declining in part because of workers exiting the labor market. “The decline in unemployment also reflects the expiration of the emergency unemployment-insurance program in an increasing number of states. Older workers losing unemployment insurance are leaving the workforce, contributing to the decline in labor force participation, and younger workers that were slow to take a job now have no choice,” Zandi said.
Troops blast protesters
gyptian troops blasted protesters with water cannons, tear gas and E live ammunition, trying to prevent
them from marching on the Defense Ministry Friday in clashes that left one soldier dead and scores of people injured just three weeks ahead of presidential elections. The fierce street battles raised fears of a new cycle of violence surrounding the upcoming vote to replace Hosni Mubarak, who was ousted more than a year ago. For the first time in Egypt’s chaotic transition, hard-line Islamists, rather than secular forces, were at the forefront of the confrontation with the military rulers who have been accused of trying to cling to power.
A bear that became famous after it was tranquilized and fell from a tree at the University of Colorado died when it was hit by two cars after returning to town, likely looking for food. A photograph captured an image of the 280-pound black bear in midair, its arms and legs spread, after it was tranquilized April 26. It was relocated 50 miles away to the mountains and was struck on U.S. Highway 36 — which connects Denver to Boulder — around dawn Thursday. The spot where the bear was killed was a little more than 2 miles from the university’s campus. Both cars were towed from the scene and one driver was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, the Colorado State Patrol said. LOS ANGELES
‘Super Moon’ will shine
According to NASA’s calculations, Saturday night is when the moon will hit your eye like a big pizza pie, to paraphrase Dean Martin. It’s "super moon" time. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is letting its enthusiasm show in a new video on the subject. "The timing is almost perfect," it notes. At 11:34 p.m. EDT, May’s full moon will reach perigee — the closest point to Earth in its elliptical pattern — and "only one minute later, the moon will line up with the Earth and the sun to become gloriously full." The moon will appear 14 percent larger than other full moons of 2012. "The swollen orb rising in the East at sunset will seem super indeed."

Adam Yauch, the gravelly voiced Beastie Boys rapper and the most conscientious member of the seminal hip-hop group, has died. He was 47. Yauch’s representatives confirmed that the rapper died Friday morning in New York after a nearly threeyear battle with cancer. Yauch Also known as MCA, Yauch was diagnosed with a cancerous salivary gland in 2009. At the time, Yauch expressed hope it was “very treatable,” but his illness caused the group to cancel shows and delayed the release of their 2011 album, “Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 2.” He hadn’t performed in public since 2009 and was absent when the Beastie Boys were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last month.

By JILL LAWLESS Associated Press
LONDON — Sodden fields. Deep puddles. Flash floods. This is what drought looks like in Britain. Last month, water authorities banned 20 million U.K. homeowners from using hoses to water their lawns or wash their cars, saying two exceptionally dry winters had plunged much of Britain into drought. Since then, the rain has hardly let up. Official figures show that April was both
ties, canceled events and grumpy residents. But officials insist the drought and the watering ban remain — to the bafflement of many Britons. In eastern England, Daniel Allen noted with irony that he’s been told he can’t water the lush foliage in the grounds of his riverside pub, the Rushbrooke Arms — “which is incredible as I had a river running through it yesterday.” The River Lark usually runs past the thatched pub in Sicklesmere village as a trickle. “Yesterday the river was lapping into
On Friday, Sicklesmere was one of 22 sites under Environment Agency flood warnings, meaning flooding is likely. The agency issued a further 61 flood alerts across England. The national weather service, the Met Office, says 12.6 centimeters (5 inches) of rain fell across the country in April, almost double the monthly average and a record since records began in 1910. High-profile casualties of the weather include the venerable Badminton Horse Trials — due to start Thursday but canceled for the first time in a quarter-century because of a waterlogged course.
U.S., China reach deal on Chinese activist Arrangements give Chen Guangcheng chance to live with family in safety. By MATTHEW LEE and CHARLES HUTZLER Associated Press
BEIJING — With a series of quickly choreographed steps, the U.S. and China outlined a tentative deal Friday to send a blind legal activist to America for study and potentially bring a face-saving end to a delicate diplomatic crisis. The arrangements, if kept, promise to give Chen Guangcheng much of what he wanted: a chance to live with his family in safety and to get a formal legal education. It would also allow Washington and Beijing to put aside a rancorous human rights dispute

to focus on managing their rivalry for global influence. As part of the deal, China’s Foreign Ministry said Chen can apply for travel permits to study abroad. The State De-
partment said an American university — later identified as New York University — has offered a fellowship for Chen with provisions for his family. Spokeswoman Victoria Nu-
land said the U.S. expects Beijing to process the travel permits quickly, and once done, visas would be issued. “I don’t think this is empty talk here. I think they mean this is a way out, and it’s a dignified way out. It’s a good way out for the Chinese government and our government and for Chen and his family,” said Jerome Cohen, an NYU law professor who met Chen nearly a decade ago, advised him during the negotiations and arranged the fellowship. In a sign that not all was settled, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton offered a guarded assessment. “Over the course of the day, progress has been made to help him have the future that he wants, and we will be staying in touch with him as this process moves forward,” said Clinton, who was in Beijing.
CHICAGO — Men rarely get breast cancer, but those who do often don’t survive as long as women, largely because they don’t even realize they can get it and are slow to recognize the warning signs, researchers say. On average, women with breast cancer lived two years longer than men in the biggest study yet of the disease in males. The study found that men’s breast tumors were larger at diagnosis, more advanced and more likely to have spread to other parts of the body. Men were also diagnosed later in life; in the study, they were 63 on average, versus 59 for women. Many men have no idea that they can get breast cancer, and some doctors are in the dark, too, dismissing symptoms that would be an automatic red flag in women, said study leader Dr. Jon Greif, a breast cancer surgeon in Oakland, Calif. The American Cancer Society estimates 1 in 1,000 men will get breast cancer, versus 1 in 8 women. By comparison, 1 in 6 men will get prostate cancer, the most common cancer in men. “It’s not really been on the radar screen to think about breast cancer in men,” said Dr. David Winchester, a breast cancer surgeon in NorthShore University HealthSystem in suburban Chicago who was not involved in the study. Winchester treats only a few men with breast cancer each year, compared with at least 100 women. The researchers analyzed 10 years of national data on breast cancer cases, from 1998 to 2007. A total of 13,457 male patients diagnosed during those years were included, versus 1.4 million women. The database contains about 75 percent of all U.S. breast cancer cases. The men who were studied lived an average of about eight years after being diagnosed, compared with more than 10 years for women. The study doesn’t indicate whether patients died of breast cancer or something else. Greif prepared a summary of his study for presentation Friday at a meeting of American Society of Breast Surgeons in Phoenix.

LOCAL BRIEFS WEST WYOMING – The Police Department is investigating several incidents involving thefts of sewer manhole covers and various street signs. The thefts of the manhole covers pose a hazardous condition as pedestrians can be seriously injured if they were to fall into the open hole and severe vehicle damage can result if a vehicle drives into the hole. The police department is asking residents to report suspicious activity to the department by dialing 911.
SUGAR NOTCH – Police announce street sweeping will be conducted along Main Street on Monday. There will be a no parking order in effect from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Violators will be ticketed and may be towed.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A private U.S. company has set a new date for launching a cargo ship to the International Space Station. Space Exploration Technologies Corp., better known as SpaceX, said Friday it was now aiming for a May 19 liftoff of its Falcon rocket and Dragon capsule. It will be the first commercial cargo run to the space station. The launch of the supply ship, scheduled for Monday, was delayed for software testing.
Salmonella in dog food sickens 14 people By JEFFREY COLLINS and HEATHER HOLLINGSWORTH Associated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Fourteen people in at least nine states have been sickened by salmonella after handling tainted dog food from a South Carolina plant that made headlines years ago when it produced food contaminated by toxic mold that killed dozens of dogs, federal officials said Friday. At least five people were hospitalized because of the dog food, which was made by Diamond Pet Foods at its plant in Gaston, S.C., the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. No pets were sickened, according to the Meta, Mo.-based company. “People who became ill, the thing that was common among them was that they had fed their

her as a “happy-go-lucky” girl, who was looking to get her life back on track to do good things. Westbrooks’ attorney, Allyson Kacmarski, thanked the jury of six men and six women for taking their job seriously. “Sometimes, (the verdict) is a surprise,” Kacmarski said, who represented Westbrooks along with attorney John Pike. “With multiple shots being fired, it was tough. (We maintain) Crum did the killing.”
NATURAL Continued from Page 3A
tribution,” German said. “It makes sense.” And converting to natural gas makes the most sense for companies and municipal customers who store and refuel their vehicles at a central location and that use a lot of gasoline, German and other speakers said. According to Allen Westbrook of UGI Utilities, Inc., powering a vehicle on natural gas saves about $2 per gasoline-gallon equivalent and $1.75 per diesel-gallon equivalent, but vehicle conversion kits are expensive – from as little as $5,000 for a small car to more than $80,000 for a long-haul truck – with much of the cost stemming from the price of thick-walled gas storage tanks. Refueling stations can cost even more, from tens to hundreds of thousands depending on the size of the station and its filling speed. According to Westbrook, the Honda Civic GX – the only out-offactory natural-gas vehicle on the U.S. market today – will pay off its $9,500 higher cost at 120,000 miles, or in six years if driven an average of 20,000 miles per year. A garbage truck that gets only 5 miles to the gallon, by contrast, and drives 40,000 miles per year would pay off its $75,000 conversion kit in just over 4 years, making it a much more attractive option, Westbrook said. Government grants and tax in-
pets Diamond Pet Foods,” said CDC spokeswoman Lola Russell. Three people each were infected in Missouri and North Carolina; two people in Ohio; and one person each in Alabama, Connecticut, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia, the CDC said. “Our folks are really wanting people to be aware of it. They want to be aware that this is causing people to get sick because they may have product in their homes. For every one that is reported, there may be 29 others,” Russell said. People can get salmonella by handling infected dog food, then not washing their hands before eating or handling their own food, health officials said. The South Carolina plant temporarily was shut down April 8.
Diamond Pet Foods has issued four rounds of recalls for food made at the plant, located outside of Columbia, S.C., between Dec. 9 and April 7. The latest recalls were announced Friday. “We took corrective actions at the plant, and today the plant is up and running. Our mission is to produce safe pet foods for our customers and their pets in all Diamond facilities,” the company said in a written statement Friday. In 2005, a toxic mold called aflatoxin ended up in food made at the same Diamond Pet Foods plant in South Carolina and dozens of dogs died. The company offered a $3.1 million settlement. FDA officials were not immediately available for comment Friday on the most recent problems with the plant.
Kacmarski said in her closing argument that there was no direct evidence linking her client to Weaver’s death and that two other people in the car, Crum and Daniel Smith, could also be responsible. “The day after Brandon Crum appears, the gun appears. Why?” Kacmarski said. “Because he did it. Not my client.” Kacmarski told jurors if they were guessing who committed the crime when they went to deliberate, that is reasonable doubt, and that means a not guilty verdict. Smith and Crum went on the run after the homicide, and police were unable to locate them for a
number of months, Kacmarski said. Westbrooks is the one who was in the Hazleton area and reported to his parole officer for a scheduled meeting, she said. Finnegan said in his closing argument that Crum is the one who gave investigators vital information to the case and that Westbrooks was the one telling numerous stories. “Why didn’t he say what happened from the beginning?” Finnegan said of the three different statements Westbrooks gave to police. “Once police found out (where he was) he had to change his story. He ran out of time. He ran out of stories.”
centives can ease the sticker shock of switching over, and are crucial to getting natural-gas-vehicle infrastructure off the ground, speakers said. “This market doesn’t work unless we have public policy and government help to help get it off the ground, and we shouldn’t be embarrassed about that,” Westbrook said. “…We shouldn’t be embarrassed about asking for public policy help; solar and wind do not exist without public policy to make those things financially viable.”
The federal government has also offered tax credits for fleet vehicle conversion in the Natural Gas Act of 2011, but despite its name that act has not been passed by the Senate. The industry has found one eager partner in the Luzerne County Transportation Authority, executive director Stanley Strelish said at the conference. Strelish said LCTA would like to install a fast-fill refueling station – the more expensive of the two varieties that pumps natural gas at comparable speeds to a commercial gas pump – at the authority’s depot on Northampton Street in Kingston, and to replace its 100 buses with natural-gas powered vehicles gradually, initially at a rate of five per year. “I think natural gas is definitely the way of the future,” Strelish said. “We at the Luzerne County Transportation Authority are shovel-ready for a fueling station for (compressed natural gas). Unfortunately, the funding isn’t available right now.”
Plains Twp. experience Plains Township Commissioner Jerry Yozwiak explained the process his municipality underwent in obtaining a $149,000 grant to purchase a natural gaspowered recycling truck and refueling station. That truck now saves the township approximately $1,500 per month in fuel, he said. “Was it worth it? Oh absolutely yes it was worth it,” Yozwiak said. But government aid for gas vehicles has dried up temporarily. Under Act13, Pennsylvania’s drilling impact fee law, the state will invest $20 million in natural gas vehicles over three years beginning in 2013, but the state is not currently issuing any such grants for gas-powered fleet conversion.

HARRISBURG — New documents filed by the attorneys for former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky suggest there are at least 17 accusers in the child sexual abuse case, a much higher number than described in criminal charges. The requests, dated April 16 and April 23, were attached to a motion filed Thursday in which Sandusky defense attorney Joe Amendola asked the supervising judge to mandate more disclosure of investigative materials. The criminal charges against the former Penn State assistant football coach only pertain to boys named as Victims 1 through 10 in court records. The April 16 discovery request asked for information on “uncharged conduct evidence,” while the one filed a week later pertained to employment records. The court filing did not name the people, explain what might make them accusers or indicate what role, if any, they play in the criminal case in which Sandusky has denied all allegations. “This in all likelihood means that there are other people who have come forward who have accused him of improper sexual conduct,” said Wes Oliver, a Widener Law School professor who specializes in criminal law.

quests grew from previous material disclosed to the defense by the attorney general’s office. The April 23 request referred to “all individuals identified as Accusers 11 through 17 as well as 18 through an unknown number.” “The requests we made are based on what we believe should be provided, based on information we’ve received to date,” Rominger said. A spokesman for the attorney general’s office declined to comment, citing a gag order issued by the presiding judge. Lawyers for potential civil litigants have said there are accusers beyond the 10 alleged victims for which Sandusky, 68, faces 52 criminal charges. One alleged victim has filed a lawsuit in Philadelphia that is on hold while the criminal case proceeds. There are many possible reasons why prosecutors might not file charges based on the claims of a purported victim, from problems with the statute of limitations and questions about credibility to a strategic analysis about how much evidence to put before jurors. Information about any additional accusers for which Sandusky has not been charged could help the defense try to undermine the credibility of the prosecution’s case, said University of Pittsburgh law professor John Burkoff, an expert on Pennsylvania criminal law procedure.
Former football player and outspoken board critic are 2 of 3 elected by alumni. By GENARO C. ARMAS Associated Press
STATE COLLEGE — Penn State alumni elected three new members to the university board of trustees, including a wellknown former football player who recovered from a spinal cord injury and a businessman who has criticized the board’s actions after Jerry Sandusky’s arrest in a child sex-abuse scandal. Alumni elected lawyer Adam Taliaferro, who played for the late coach Joe Paterno; prominent donor and outspoken board critic Anthony Lubrano; and retired U.S. Navy captain Ryan McCombie. Election results were announced Friday following more than three weeks of online voting that drew a record turnout of at least 37,000. The new trustees begin their three-year terms July 1. All three newcomers have expressed varying degrees of criticism of the board, but no one more so than Lubrano, who has been especially critical of the board’s ouster of Paterno days after Sandusky was charged in November. Alumni sent a message that they were dissatisfied with the board’s decisions, Lubrano said following the trustees meeting during which election results were announced. But Lubrano added in a statement, “Though I have been an outspoken critic of the manner

in which (the board) handled the firing of Coach Paterno and the events that followed, I understand the importance to all of us to heal as a Penn State community.” Current members have already started reaching out to alumni watchdog groups that called for change, board chairwoman Karen Peetz said. She did not anticipate problems working with the new trustees. “I think the board is always open to discussing what the issues are, whether it’s incoming members or people who are already on the board,” she said after being asked if the election sent a message to trustees. Taliaferro, who practices law in Cherry Hill, N.J., led the election with 15,629 votes, followed by Lubrano, a financial services executive from Exton, with 10,096 and McCombie, a 1970 graduate who lives in State College, with 4,806. Taliaferro, a 2005 graduate, is
a former defensive back for Paterno who became well known for his courageous recovery from a career-ending spinal-cord injury suffered his freshman year in 2000 during a game at Ohio State. He also won election last year as a freeholder in Gloucester County, N.J. “At the end of the day, we’re going to have to work together to come up with solutions to problems going forward,” Taliaferro said in a phone interview. McCombie was attending a commissioning ceremony on campus and did not attend the meeting. Of the three incumbents whose terms are expiring, only retired schoolteacher Anne Riley ran again, losing her re-election bid. A State College resident, Riley is one of the board’s more well-known members and a frequent visitor to campus Former newspaper editor David Jones has said he decided

two years ago to limit his tenure on the board. The third, David Joyner, left the board because he is now the school’s acting athletic director. All three were part of a board in November that unanimously voted to oust Paterno as head coach in the aftermath of the charges against Sandusky, a retired assistant coach. Paterno died in January at age 85, less than three months after being diagnosed with lung cancer. The head coach testified before a state grand jury about a 2002 allegation against Sandusky that was passed on to him by a graduate assistant. Paterno fulfilled a legal obligation by relaying the accusations to his superiors, one of whom oversaw campus police. Trustees have said Paterno had a moral obligation to do more, and have also cited a “failure of leadership” in severing ties with the coach.

HOLY REDEEMER CINCO DE MAYO CELEBRATION
May 5 is not Mexico’s Independence Day and it’s only marked in Puebla.
and during the Chicano Movement, when Mexican American activists adopted the day to reinforce civil rights demands. Two police beatings of Cinco de Mayo revelers — one in Houston in1978 By RUSSELL CONTRERAS and the other in Washington DC Associated Press in 1991 — resulted in riots and ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — sparked protests and calls for reHere’s what Cinco de Mayo has forms from Latino advocates.

Even West Des Moines, Iowa, has an all-day festival with Mexican food, artwork and live music. The holiday has spread from the American Southwest, even though most are unaware of its original ties to the U.S. Civil War, abolition and promotion of civil rights for blacks. Often mistaken for Mexican Independence Day (that’s Sept. 16), Cinco de Mayo commemorates the 1862 Battle of Puebla between the victorious ragtag army of largely Mexican Indian soldiers against the invading French forces of Napoleon III. Mexican Americans, during the Chicano Movement of the1970s, adopted the holiday for its David vs. Goliath storyline as motivation for civil rights struggles in Texas and California. Over the years, the holiday has been adopted by beer companies as a way to penetrate the growing Latino market, even as the historical origins of the holiday remain largely forgotten. David Hayes-Bautista, a professor of medicine and health services at UCLA and author of the newly released “El Cinco de Mayo: An American Tradition,” said the holiday’s history in the U.S. goes back to the Gold Rush when thousands of immigrants from Mexico, Central and South America came to California during the Civil War. According to Spanish-language newspapers at the time, this first group of multinational Latinos on U.S. soil identified with the Union Army’s fight against the Confederacy and often wrote pieces about the evils of slavery. Hayes-Bautista said these Latino immigrants were concerned about the Union’s lack of progress and Napoleon III’s interests in helping the South. “It wasn’t until the news came about the Battle of Puebla that they got the good news they wanted,” said Hayes-Bautista. “Since Napoleon III was linked to the Confederacy, they saw the victory as the first sign that their side could win.” But in the years that followed, Latinos in California and the U.S. Northwest celebrated Cinco de Mayo with parades of people dressed in Civil War uniforms and gave speeches about the significance of the Battle of Puebla in the larger struggle for abolition, said Hayes-Bautista. The date received another jolt during World War II during the U.S. government’s “Good Neighborhood Policy” aimed at building good relationships with Mexico

PHILADELPHIA — Five priests were deemed unsuitable for ministry because of substantiated allegations of sexual abuse or other inappropriate conduct, the city’s Roman Catholic archbishop said Friday. Three other priests would return to the ministry and another died during the investigation, Charles Chaput said. He said 17 other cases were investigated, but the findings were not being immediately announced. The announcements come during Monsigner William J. Lynn’s trial. Lynn is charged with child endangerment for his handling of abuse complaints. The 2011 grand jury report that led to Lynn’s case also alleged dozens of accused priests were still active in Philadelphia, despite a zero-tolerance policy among U.S. bishops. A 2005 grand jury report had blasted the church for ignoring or dismissing sexual-abuse complaints made against 63 priests in the archdiocese over many decades. The 2011 report said the archdiocese was continuing to downplay complaints or focus on minor discrepancies to find them not credible. The archdiocese responded by suspending the priests and hiring a former child sex-crimes prosecutor, Gina Maisto Smith, to reexamine complaints involving active priests.

Woman in Secret Service case calls agents ‘fools’ Prostitute claims she could have easily obtained national security information.
By FRANK BAJAK and VIVIAN SEQUERA Associated Press
BOGOTA, Colombia — A woman who says she was the prostitute who triggered the U.S. Secret Service scandal in Colombia said Friday that the agents involved were “idiots” for letting it happen, and declared that if she were a spy and sensitive information was available, she could have easily obtained it. The woman said she spent five hours in a Cartagena, Colombia, hotel room with an agent, and while she barely got cab fare out of him, she could have gotten information that would have compromised the security of U.S. President Barack Obama if the
agent had any. “Totally,” she replied when asked. “The man slept all night,” said the woman, who was Suarez identified by her lawyer as Dania Londono Suarez. “If I had wanted to, I could have gone through all his documents, his wallet, his suitcase.” She said in the 90-minute interview with Colombia’s W Radio conducted in Spain that no U.S. investigator had been in touch with her, although reporters descended on her home a week after the incident when a taxi driver led them to it. “They could track me anywhere in the world that I go but they haven’t done so,” she said, speaking in Spanish. “If the Secret Service agents were idiots,
imagine the investigators.” That alarmed a U.S. congressman who is monitoring the case. Rep. Peter King, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, issued a statement on Friday expressing concern that investigators “have been unable to locate and interview two of the female foreign nationals involved,” including Londono. “I have asked the Secret Service for an explanation of how they have failed to find this woman when the news media seems to have no trouble doing so.” Eight Secret Service agents have lost their jobs in the scandal, although there is no evidence any of the 10 women interviewed by U.S. investigators for their roles in it have any connection to terrorist groups, King said earlier this week. In the interview, Londono called the Secret Service agents caught up in the scandal “fools
for being from Obama’s security and letting all this happen.” “When I said, ‘I’m going to call the police so they pay me my money,’ and it didn’t bother them, didn’t they see the magnitude of the problem?” she said. Londono said the man she slept with never identified himself as a member of Obama’s advance security detail for the April 14-15 Summit of the Americas and said she saw nothing in his
room that would have indicated the man’s job other than a brown uniform. Londono said the man had agreed to pay her $800, but that she never would have made a public fuss about his failure to pay had she known he was part of Obama’s security detail and realized the repercussions it would have for her. “My life is practically destroyed,” she said. “My name is in
the gutter.” Her photo has been splashed all over the Internet since a newspaper took it off Facebook a week after the incident, when she said she fled Colombia fearing for her life. “I was afraid they might retaliate,” she said, saying she feared for herself and her family after looking up Secret Service on the Internet and seeing that some agents were sharpshooters.

OTHER OPINION: ILLEGAL WORKERS
Rethink strategy on immigration
T
HE NUMBER OF immigrants coming illegally to the United States has been declining for several years. Demographers have repeatedly said as much, and now a report by the Pew Hispanic Center confirms it – illegal migration from Mexico is virtually at a standstill. Last year, about 6.1 million Mexicans were illegally in the country, down from a high of 7 million in 2007. What accounts for the change after decades of steady increases? A declining birth rate and solid economic growth in Mexico have led fewer people to leave home. On this side of the border, a weak economy has made the United States less appealing for job seekers; and tougher border security has made the treacherous journey too expensive and dangerous for most, according to the report. The more pressing question now is what to do with the 11 EDITORIAL BOARD
million illegal immigrants from Mexico and elsewhere who are already here. Some Republicans want to redouble efforts to deport them; Mitt Romney has said he hopes they will “self-deport.” But such fantasies of a mass exodus are as unrealistic as the demand for a vacuum-sealed border. Besides, a real exodus would leave some sectors of the domestic economy struggling. Right now, more than half of all farmworkers in the United States are here illegally. Fixing immigration requires more than an enforcement-only strategy. Lawmakers must undertake a comprehensive approach that includes a path to legalization for those who are here, an agricultural worker program to help growers and farmhands, and strict workplace enforcement to discourage people from coming illegally in the future.

MALLARD FILLMORE
Save USPS by reviving post office savings accounts TALK ABOUT killing two birds with one stone; here’s an idea that can take down a whole flock. It’s called postal banking, and it could help rescue the Postal Service, make banks nicer to the little guy, raise the national savings rate and cut the cost of financing the national deficit. This is not a new idea. A vast array of nations from Germany to India offer their citizens financial services through the post office. We do too, a little, by selling money orders and package insurance. But we used to do much more. From 1910 to 1967 Uncle Sam ran the Postal Savings System. It paid 2 percent on deposits (which peaked at $3.4 billion in 1947) and reaped 2.5 percent by putting the money into local banks, thus covering the cost of operations. Customers could save as little as 10 cents at a time by filling a postal savings card with stamps and then turning it in for credit. Consider the possibilities. The Postal Service is in financial trouble partly due to meddling by Congress, but also because the digital revolution is driving down mail volume. Congress wants the place run like a business, but won’t let the service set prices, close money-losing outlets or otherwise be businesslike. The government, meanwhile, backstops the for-profit banking system without charging for this valuable service. These same banks treat lowincome customers like piñatas, beating
MAIL BAG
DANIEL AKST fees out of them at every turn. The postal banking alternative is old, established and could easily work here. There are post offices all over America, and they already handle lots of cash. Postal deposits could be invested in Treasury securities for ironclad safety, and these new funds would likely reduce Uncle Sam’s cost of borrowing, saving money for taxpayers. Instead of the certificates used by the old Postal Savings System, depositors would get debit cards. A postal bank could make money in several ways. Users could pay modest fees for checking and other services, and the system could pay out less in interest than it earns on the Treasuries it would buy. Since the goal isn’t to drive banks out of business, individual accounts could be capped at some appropriately modest sum, and there would be no loans except to Washington. Even so, this new postal competition should force banks to treat their smaller customers a little better – while rescuing many poor Americans from the teeth of costly check-cashing outlets and payday lenders. Could postal banking be big enough to make a dent in Postal Service deficits? Well, the Japanese postal bank has more than $2 trillion in deposits, and the United
States is nearly three times as populous. It’s not inconceivable to imagine an American postal bank throwing off an annual profit of $5 billion, which is what the Postal Service lost in its last fiscal year (although losses seem to be accelerating). Besides, aiding the Postal Service is the least of the plan’s virtues – and postal banking by itself can’t save the system, which needs to change regardless. More important is that postal banking would put the government once again on the side of encouraging thrift. People with savings don’t need payday lenders, after all. Accumulating capital can help them weather emergencies, start businesses and buy homes. A postal savings system would give people a trusted place to save right in their own communities, without outrageous fees or sales pitches for tricky products. Postal banking could take its place alongside other cherished non-market institutions, such as Social Security and public libraries, that help Americans help themselves. People love their libraries. Why not let them bank on their Postal Service? Daniel Akst is a columnist for Newsday and a member of the newspaper’s editorial board.

COMMENTARY
A postal savings system would give people a trusted place to save right in their own communities, without outrageous fees or sales pitches for tricky products.
Los Angeles Times editorial has stated, “The battle against gun control has been largely won.” Therefore, National Rifle Association members and others should stop funding the NRA. The “battle” is far from “won.” The Obama administration has consistently pushed for excessively restrictive gun laws. It has by executive order placed burdensome restrictions upon gun dealers in states bordering Mexico. This action is now being litigated in the federal courts. It is working with the United Nations in ratifying draconian international regulations of small arms. For now, the subject of gun control is taboo in the White House. They recall the setback of the Clinton administration in congressional elections resulting from efforts by the NRA and others. Once re-elected, the Obama administration will continue to press for confiscatory gun laws. The president will nominate

Supreme Court candidates who favor confiscatory gun laws, which in tandem with U.N. mandates will nullify the Second Amendment. In summary, the notion that the “gun control” issue is moot is pure fiction. Finally, HR 3594, titled the Second Amendment Protection Act, has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. If enacted, the United States would terminate funding of the United Nations should the administration agree to any U.N. treaty that would restrict the right “to keep and bear arms” as stated in

Reader remembers the joyful days of May
O
ne of the most beautiful months of the year is May. Everything seems to be coming to life. Our gardens have all types of birds. How invigorating it is to hear the birds singing early in the morning, encouraging us to get out of bed. It is time to plant our gardens and fields. It is almost time to “smell the roses.” In parochial school we had a part of the classroom, with an altar, dedicated to the blessed mother. We would bring flowers from our gardens every day. The students all looked forward to this. Life was not so complex, and we were filled with joy. Frank Mrufchinski Nanticoke

“As we continue to offer millions of acres of America’s public lands for oil and gas development, it is critical that the public have full confidence that the right safety and environmental protections are in place,” Salazar said. The proposed rules will “modernize our management of wellstimulation activities, including hydraulic fracturing, to make sure that fracturing operations conducted on public and Indian lands follow common-sense industry best practices,” he said. The new rules, which have been under consideration for a year and a half, were softened after industry groups expressed strong concerns about an initial proposal leaked earlier this year. The proposal would allow companies to file disclosure reports after drilling operations are completed, rather than before they begin, as initially proposed. Industry groups said the earlier proposal could have caused lengthy delays. Some environmental groups criticized the change as a cave-in to industry, but Salazar said the rules were never intended to cause delays, but to ensure that the public is “fully aware of the chemicals that are being injected into the underground” by companies seeking to produce oil and natural gas. The Bureau of Land Management, which oversees drilling on public lands, estimates that 90 percent of the approximately 3,400 wells currently drilled on federal and Indian lands using hydraulic fracturing techniques. The rules would not affect drilling on private land, where the bulk of shale exploration is taking place. A nationwide drilling boom in formations such as the Marcellus Shale in the Appalachian region and the Bakken in North Dakota and Montana, as well as in traditional production states such as Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana, has led to 10-year lows in natural gas prices. Still, Salazar said he hopes the new rules could be used as a model for state regulators. “We hope our leadership is followed,” he said at a news conference. Industry groups and Republican lawmakers say federal rules are unnecessary, arguing that states already regulate hydraulic fracturing, in which water, sand and chemicals are in injected underground to break up dense rock that holds oil and gas. The industry also has complained that disclosure of chemicals used in fracking could violate trade secrets.
p.m., but that he did not want to say anything before that. Namey has been with the district for 42 years, serving as superintendent since 1996. He has announced retirement previously but was persuaded by the board to stay on. In early 2007 he told the board he planned to step down that June even though his contract was good through June the following year. But by May of 2007 he had reconsidered. “Now I’m pushing it to January,” Namey said at the time, “certainly no later than the following June.” Before June 2008 rolled around, the board persuaded Namey to stay, renewing his contract through June 2011. In December 2010, the board extended his contract to 2015 over the objections of several members, including Toole, who frequently found herself in the minority at the time. Toole said the renewal had not been discussed until it appeared on the agenda, and she said the term of the extension was too long, considering Namey’s own prior attempts to retire.

Kingston, said this happened when she pushed a bill requiring more state focus on juvenile justice needs and effective treatment options. Mundy introduced House Bill 1384 in April 2009. It passed the House, but the Senate didn’t take it up for a vote. She reintroduced the legislation as House Bill 226 in January 2011. In May 2011, state Rep. Tarah Toohil, R-Butler Township, introduced the concept as House Bill 1546, Mundy said. After House passage, the Senate acted on Toohil’s legislation, amending it and returning it to the House for final approval before going to the governor, Mundy said. “It’s not word for word, but it’s my bill. It’s my idea and pretty much my language,” Mundy said.

crease financial aid to help our working-class constituency weather the storm and make a King’s education affordable,” Ryan wrote in the email obtained by The Times Leader. “The college was trying to respond to the economic climate and, because of its mission, help its natural constituency of the working class. The result of multi-year awards increased our overall average discount rate from 36 percent in 2009 to an estimated 42.5 percent in 2013.” John McAndrew, a college spokesman, said the discount rates were a factor but even more so was that the true numbers and impact they would have on future budgets “weren’t figured in appropriately to allow the college to budget properly.” He said no single person was responsible for the oversight. Lisa Marie McCauley, who served as vice president for business affairs and as college treasurer, resigned “for personal reasons” on
April 25. She could not be reached for comment Friday. McAndrew declined to discuss McCauley’s role in the budget citing “personnel issues.” Ryan said the financial challenges, once realized, are now being addressed. “We are beginning to reverse the direction of our discount rate with lower financial awards offered to first-year students entering the fall 2012,” Ryan said. “Additionally, the admissions team, is doing a remarkable job of bringing in a freshman class comparable in number and quality to the preceding three years; this despite a significant tuition increase and lower financial aid packages.” Tuition will jump 5.4 percent this fall to $29,174, McAndrew said. Over the previous three years tuition increased an average of 3.9 percent. Consultant hired Ryan said the college also has hired the higher education financial consulting firm of Scannell and Kurz of Pittsford, N.Y. to help with “financial aid optimization.” But since the discounted tui-
tion packages were awarded to students that could be at the school for the next three years, Ryan notes “this is a multi-year process which will not right itself in a single year.” At a President’s Forum held Feb. 13, Ryan alluded to long range plans to help turn the tide of struggling college finances. In addition to lowering the tuition discount rate, Ryan proposed increased fundraising activities and seeking new markets for existing academic programs. Last summer, the college signed an agreement with the University of Notre Dame to oversee a majority of King’s College’s endowment. There is no fee charged for the service as both schools fall under the umbrella of The Congregation of the Holy Cross. Ryan was in meetings Friday and unavailable for an interview. McAndrew said Ryan will meet with the campus faculty and staff Tuesday at 1 p.m. to inform them of the board’s decisions and to provide details of the budget. That meeting, like today’s board of trustees meeting, is not open to the public.
Jury orders Philly hospital to pay $78.5M in C-section suit The Associated Press
POTTSTOWN — A federal jury has ordered a suburban Philadelphia hospital to pay $78.5 million in a lawsuit over an emergency cesarean section. Attorneys for Victoria Upsey say her son, who is now 3, sufMundy made a comment about Toohil’s legislation on the House floor, saying “imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.” Petty politics is causing unnecessary duplication and interferes with the legislative process, and it “happens frequently,” Mundy said. Citizens want efficient, bipartisan movement on viable legislation with no concern for which party or legislator gets credit, she said. “We worked hard to draft that legislation, and it is a waste of resources,” Mundy said. She acknowledged the same activity occurred when Democrats were in control. “Both parties have done this. Personally, I think it’s reprehensible. I have never done it,” she said. Toohil said she modeled her legislation on recommendations of the Interbranch Commission on Juvenile Justice, which is why it’s similar. She said she didn’t base

her bill on Mundy’s. State officials set up the special commission to investigate circumstances that led to corruption in Luzerne County’s juvenile court system. Toohil also said there were differences in the proposed bills, particularly in the estimated costs. She said she proposes legislation based on the validity of issues – not to obtain credit. She said most people care about the end result and pay little, if any, attention to the author. “I don’t care who gets it done, I just want it to get done,” she said, adding that Mundy should receive credit for her work on juvenile justice issues. The legislation would force the Juvenile Court Judges’ Commission to collect and analyze data from juvenile courts across the state to improve administration of the juvenile justice system. The commission of nine juvenile court judges must use the data
to identify juvenile court trends and effective programs and practices and make this information public. The commission also must make recommendations to judges and the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts. Mundy said the additional review and oversight could have led to earlier detection of past inappropriate activity in Luzerne County’s juvenile court system. Toohil posted an announcement about the advancement of the legislation she sponsored on her website in March, saying the action was in response to the Luzerne County “kids for cash” scandal. “My bill is designed to prevent the kind of injustices to children that occurred in Luzerne County from ever happening again anywhere in Pennsylvania,” she said in the posted announcement.
Fully vested pension With 42 years in public education, Namey is potentially eligible to receive a pension equal to 100 percent of his pay, currently $161,544, according to District Business Manager Leonard Przywara. Asked how she would handle finding a replacement, Toole stressed she could only speak for herself, but that “I want to see us do a national search. I want to put advertisements in the professional journals, particularly the Pennsylvania School Boards Association Bulletin.” Toole said the obvious choice for an interim superintendent would be Deputy Superintendent Bernard Prevuznak. When Namey talked about retirement in 2007, he said one reason for bringing Prevuznak into the post several years earlier had been to assure a smooth transition. Toole said Prevuznak would be welcome to apply for the post, but that she would not want the board to hire him without a rigorous search and interviews. “I want to see Wilkes-Barre Area be respected by the educational community and the community as a whole,” Toole said. “I think this is why we need to go out of the area, because too much has happened.” Prior to becoming superintendent in 1996, Namey served as assistant superintendent for 14 years, and deputy superintendent for three years, as well as acting superintendent for a spell. Namey had been considered for the top spot earlier, when Leo Solomon retired in 1993. But he took himself out of the running, saying the job was too susceptible to politics and he wanted to keep his more secure position of assistant superintendent for pupil services until his son graduated from college. High-profile problems In more casual moments in recent years, Namey has joked that he should have retired in 2007. It would have spared him the high-profile problems that evolved as the federal corruption probe first hit the public eye in 2009. The probe, which started in Luzerne County Courthouse, but FBI agents visited districts, including Wilkes-Barre Area in

early April 2009. Days later, Namey testified before a federal grand jury. Shortly after that, Brian Dunn became the first of three board members charged with corruption related to hiring of teachers or awarding of contract. James Height and Frank Pizzella Jr. were charged later, though Pizzella was accused of action taken before joining the board: Passing a bribe from the relative of a teacher candidate to a sitting board member. Pizzella insisted he had helped expose other crooks caught in the probe, a claim reinforced by prosecutors at his sentencing. All three ultimately pleaded guilty. During the early stages of the investigation, after an FBI agent sought teacher hiring records but before Height was charged, Height admitted to The Times Leader that the district had no written hiring policy, and that board members took turns picking candidates to be interviewed. The board promised to develop a written policy but has failed to do so for more than two years. Toole has said the policy is high priority since she was elected board president in December. Namey has also had to deal with increasingly intractable building problems. In the past decade the district has hired outside consultants and conducted internal studies in mulling possible building consolidation, particularly with the three high schools, but projected costs have been prohibitive. In 2007 just as the board seemed poised to commit to major repairs at Meyers High School, a structural study found the building had been sinking far faster than it should have. Engineers determined that the soil underneath was too soft and keeps shifting when the water table rises with a swelling Susquehanna River. Most recently, the board has been grappling with a water leak at Meyers they have been unable to pinpoint even with special equipment designed to “look” through the concrete flooring and metal reinforcement bars that cover the main water line, where the leak is. District with issues Namey has had to cope with health scares ranging from bed bugs to H1N1 virus, and with growing gang influence and risks of violence epitomized by a recent machete attack on one student, though the attacker was not connected to this district and the assault occurred off school grounds. And the district found itself suffering yet another black eye from the corruption probe last week when a federal grand jury indicted long-time solicitor Anthony Lupas. The charges are unrelated to Lupas’ district work; he is accused of bilking people through a bogus investment scheme.

While the Penguins were focused on the first two games, head coach John Hynes said the home fans were always in the back of their minds. “I knew the guys were excited to come back and play here,” Hynes said. “They’re looking forward to the crowd.” And the crowd seems to be the reason why the Penguins have been stellar at home in the postseason. Hynes said the atmosphere has been different for the playoffs when compared to the regular season. “When good things happen the place erupts. It didn’t feel like that in
the regular season at times,” he said. “There’s more electricity in the building and players do feed off that.” Much of that electricity has been generated by a group of students from St. Gregory’s Academy in Elmhurst Township who has been attending Penguins games of late and leading the crowd in chants. The group has been so loud and supportive that it has even caught the attention of the Penguins players. And it’s a big reason why the Penguins are looking forward to having the next three games of the series at
home. “This is my third year here and these playoffs have been the best atmosphere I’ve seen,” said defenseman Joey Mormina. “Those guys from St. Gregory’s have been awesome and it’s been really fun to play at home.” Thiessen focused Now in the middle of his third postseason with the Penguins, netminder Brad Thiessen said he’s truly getting a feeling for just how big a playoff game is.

Field is deep in talent and possible winners
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Hot pace. Muggy day. One of the deepest, talented fields in years. A delicious stew with all the ingredients for an unpredictable Kentucky Derby. The 20-horse field for today’s race is so stacked that unbeaten Gemologist is no better than third choice on the morning line. In other years, the colt would be the talk of the Derby. In this one, early favorites Bodemeister and Union Rags have grabbed the spotlight. Still, some very talented colts could go off at big odds — I’ll

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Mariano Rivera sat on a chair in the corner of the visitor’s clubhouse at Kauffman Stadium, his right knee tightly wrapped Friday night and crutches resting against a nearby locker. In one declarative statement, the Yan- Rivera kees’ closer put to rest any notion that he’d shuffle off into retirement after a devastating injury sustained the previous night in batting practice. “I’m coming back. Write it down in big letters. I’m not going out like this,” Rivera said. The 12-time All-Star vowed he will return to the mound by 2013, despite hinting in spring training that this season may be his last. He said he reflected on the injury at his hotel room in the wee hours of Friday morning before making his decision. “I love to play the game. To me, I don’t think going out like this is the right way,” Rivera said. “I don’t want to retire because I got hurt in the way that it happened. I don’t think like that. With the strength of the Lord, I just have to continue.” Rivera hurt his knee when his foot caught on the turf near the outfield wall before the series opener against Kansas City. An MRI taken during the game revealed the extent of the injury, and Rivera dabbed tears from his eyes when he spoke in the clubhouse Thursday night. He wasn’t sure at the time whether he would return. He was certain of it less than 24 hours later. “Miracles happen,” Rivera said with a smile. “I’m a positive man. The only thing is that I feel sorry I let down my teammates. Besides that I’m OK.” Rivera spoke with New York Mets medical director Dr. David Altchek, who performed surgery on his shoulder following the 2008 season, and was told that he should be ready to work out again in about five months. Rivera hopes that allows him to pitch by the start of spring training. “You know, I just kind of had a feeling in talking to him last night that it wasn’t the way he wants to go out,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “He still has to get through this rehab and we’ll see where he’s at, but Mo wants to do things on his own terms, and de-

Frantic call to 911 provides insight to suicide scene of former NFL star linebacker.
SAN DIEGO — A 911 call from the home of Junior Seau released Friday captures the voice of a woman who is horrified to find the former NFL linebacker in a spare bedroom with a gunshot wound to the chest. “My God, my boyfriend shot himself! Oh my God!” the eightminute call begins. The woman, who identifies herself as Megan, said she was returnSeau ing to the home Wednesday morning from a onehour visit to the gym. Oceanside police released the recording one day after the San Diego County medical examiner’s office ruled the death a suicide. The family plans to donate Seau’s brain for research into football-related injuries. The caller is nearly hysterical and breathing heavily during much of the call as emergency workers guide her through lifesaving measures that failed. “Where is the gun?” the dispatcher asks. “It’s next to him in the bed,” she answers. “What is your boyfriend’s name?” “Junior Seau,” she says. The dispatcher asks where he was shot. “I can’t tell, ma’am. It looks like in the heart,” she said. She told the dispatcher that he did not have a pulse and that his chest was not moving. “I just came home from the gym, and he’s in our spare bedroom, and he shot himself, and it looks like he shot himself in the chest,” she says after the dispatcher transferred the call to the fire department. Nearly five minutes into the call, she goes to the door to allow rescue workers in. She explains again what happened and then begins to sob. The woman’s last name is unintelligible on the recording. Lt. Leonard Mata, a spokesman for Oceanside police, said police aren’t releasing the woman’s name. Seau played for his hometown Chargers for 13 seasons and was also a star at Southern California. There’s been no medical evidence that brain injuries from football may have played a role in his death. San Diego Chargers chaplain

Night Racing Card Special T Rocks looks to maintain his current sharp form in the $50,000 Van Rose Memorial tonight. The four-year old gelded son of Rocknroll Hanover has never been better of recent, winning two straight Open Paces at Harrah’s Philadelphia. He’s had a career year already, bankrolling $157,250 along with taking a career mark just last week of 1:50.1. Like most of Daryl Bier’s horses, the late blooming Special T Rocks loves to close and throw Big Bay Point in the mix from post nine, you can be certain that there will be a fast tempo. In what will be the finest and richest race of the young season I look for the Bier owned-trained and driven Special T Rocks to roll past them all to win going away!!

Jockey of Believe You Can becomes first female to post victory in Kentucky Oaks.
Jockey Club rules can make giving a thoroughbred the proper name a bit of a trick.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Rosie Napravnik insists she’s just another jockey. She’s one with champion’s credentials now. Napravnik became the first female jockey to win the Kentucky Oaks, keeping Believe You Can near the front from the start before pulling away from Broadway’s Alibi in the $1 million race for 3-year-old fillies at Churchill Downs on Friday. “I wouldn’t say there was pressure because the expectations were nobody had ever done it before,” the 24-year-old rider said after her first Grade 1 stakes victory. “It’s great for all the women in the industry, in the world. I’m just happy.” In the fillies’ counterpart to the Kentucky Derby, Napravnik finally broke through after finishing second last year behind Plum Pretty aboard St. John’s River. In this one, she took the filly named for the pep talks former Kentucky Gov. Brereton C. Jones’ father gave him to the front in the 11⁄8-mile race with an impressive stretch run. “My father had told me from the very beginning when he made a little plaque to hang in my bedroom with the word ‘can’t’ on it. C-A-N-apostrophe-T with a big X across it,” the former governor said. “Believe you can and you can.” The victory also gave trainer Larry Jones his second Oaks victory after winning in 2008 with Proud Spell. That celebration was cut short when his star filly, Eight Belles, broke down after a second-place finish in the Kentucky Derby the following day. She was euthanized on the track and Jones later retired briefly following health problems. “I’m not going to bring up a lot of things in the past,” Jones said. “We celebrated for 24 hours. At that point, we kind of forgot we had won the Oaks. We’re going to enjoy this one.” Napravnik lost her Kentucky Derby mount this week when the Joneses decided not to run colt Mark Valeski, but this was a good consolation prize in a race delayed 35 minutes because of a strong thunderstorm earlier in the day. “It’s unbelievable. I can’t even tell you what I’m feeling right now,” Napravnik said.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — In Irish legend, dullahans were a kind of Celtic Grim Reaper, roaming the countryside on black horses, holding their heads under their left arms while brandishing swords made from human spines. When they came to your door, your time was up. “But the exciting part about the legend is that when they rode, neither lock nor gate could keep them from their goal,” said Jerry Crawford of Donegal Racing, which owns Derby entry Dullahan. “We think the legend speaks of a good trip for Kent Desormeaux, and Dullahan on their trip to the finish line.” Thus speaks the power of a name, at least to the people who have the difficult task of choosing the perfect one for their racehorses. It’s harder than it looks, not least because of the stern rules of the Jockey Club: No repeats of currently registered Thoroughbreds, no naming after living people, nothing too bawdy or suggestive. You’re naming for posterity, especially if you have a horse in the Kentucky Derby. Naming racehorses has gotten a little easier now that the Jockey Club puts out a list of horses’ names that have been released, says David Fiske, manager of Winchell Thoroughbreds, based at Corinthia Farm in Lexington. “The trick is trying to find something new and fresh that hasn’t been used before,” Fisk said. With Sabercat, Ron Winchell wanted to find a name that used Cat in it because of his runner, Sabercat’s sire, Bluegrass Cat, and his even more famous forebear, Storm Cat. “He wanted something that was ominous or threatening,” Fiske said. “There are a lot of sports teams named Sabercats, I think that was in the back of his mind.” John Oxley, the owner of Prospective, saw the horse at the Saratoga sale and loved him partly for his good looks and partly for his brilliant pedigree, which featured Mr. Prospector and Seattle Slew. “I thought, ’He’s very prospective for the Kentucky Derby,’” Oxley said. “I didn’t expect it to be available, but you never know until you try.” That was true for Alpha, the horse owned by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s Godolphin racing operation. Jimmy Bell, who heads up the Sheikh’s breeding operation, Darley, here in Lexington, said the name just seemed good and happened to be available. “I always like to think good Derby horses have good names,” Bell said. “It’s a good strong name, it’s dominant, it’s top dog. I think it’s a nice name, short, meaningful and, golly, it landed on the right horse.” That was also true for Optimizer, picked by officials at Bluegrass Hall LLC because it was a derivative of “optimum,” said Sienna Hooper, who works there. “It was just a name they

who was trapped on the rail and finished sixth. In 2001, his heavy favorite Point Given wound up fifth. “I don’t want to get myself too pumped up. Even my son, Bode, doesn’t want to talk about it,” he said. The 7-year-old namesake of Bodemeister is worried. Upon learning the colt was headed to the Derby, he asked his dad, “Well, what if he loses?” “It’s a little extra pressure for me to make sure that he runs well,” said Baffert, who had a medical scare in March when he was hospitalized with a heart attack in Dubai. Bodemeister, ridden by Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith, goes into the starting gate staring down 129 years of Derby history. The last horse to win without racing as a 2-year-old was Apollo in 1882. Union Rags, the 9-2 second choice ridden by Julien Leparoux, is the best horse trainer Michael Matz has brought to the Derby since he won with undefeated Barbaro in 2006. “I was lucky enough once,” he said. “It’s hard to believe you can get lucky twice.” Matz trains the strapping colt for Phyllis Wyeth, the former steeplechase rider who was paralyzed from the waist down in a 1962 car accident and gets around in a wheelchair. She is married to painter Jamie Wyeth, whose father was the renowned artist Andrew Wyeth. Gemologist, undefeated in five races, is trained by 2010 Derby winner Pletcher, yet he’s been overshadowed by the other entrants since arriving late in Louisville and getting most of
Castellano leaves on stretcher, but returns LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Jockey Javier Castellano left on a stretcher after a spill Friday in a race just before he was scheduled to ride Grace Hall in the Kentucky Oaks, then returned in time to mount the race favorite. Castellano, who appeared to have an abrasion on his cheek, left the ambulance and walked unaided into the jockey’s room following the spill in the 10th race, the American Turf. Castellano was riding Star Channel, who pulled up clean in the aftermath of Castellano’s fall. He got up before being put on a stretcher and appeared to smile as he was loaded into an ambulance. Castellano also is scheduled to ride Gemologist today in the Kentucky Derby.
his training in Florida. “He’s done everything he could possibly do,” Pletcher said, “but part of it might be because the 2-year-old races he ran in weren’t the Breeders’ Cup races. He was a little late in developing.” Two of Gemologist’s wins came at Churchill Downs. “Anytime you’ve had success over this track in the past, it bodes well for the future,” Pletcher said. Hansen is a standout on looks alone. The colt is nearly white and his outspoken owner Kendall Hansen tried to doll him up by having his tail painted blue for the Blue Grass three weeks ago. The track stewards didn’t approve and neither did trainer Mike Maker. “We’re going to win this race,” Hansen said. “We’re not worried about anybody. We’ve got the best horse.” Like Baffert and Pletcher, Steve Asmussen has two horses in the Derby — Daddy Nose Best and Sabercat — who will try to help him end a 0-for-10 skid. He came close last year when Nehro finished second to Animal Kingdom. “It is definitely on the bucket list,” Asmussen said. “I like my horses, love how they’re doing, feel that they’re going to run real good Saturday, but have no control over everybody else.” Trainer Graham Motion, jock-
ey John Velazquez, and Barry Irwin, who heads the Team Valor ownership group, shared last year’s win with Animal Kingdom. They return with 20-1shot Went the Day Well, trying to become the first connections to repeat since 1972-73 when Riva Ridge and Secretariat prevailed. And then there’s the weather. Today’s forecast calls for a high of 86 with a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. The Derby day temperature has topped 80 degrees just five times since1969, when it hit 87. Making it feel subtropical is the humidity, which was close to 70 percent on Friday. The heat combined with humidity affects horses in different ways. Some sweat profusely; others handle the elements. All Derby horses will be examined by vets on race morning. “The hot weather may be to our advantage,” said Mark Casse, who saddles 30-1 shot Prospective. “There are some hot-headed horses in this field that it could hurt. My horse stays calm and cool.” Getting the ideal trip is a key factor, especially with the traffic issues created by such a large field making for a chaotic charge into the first turn. Some horses maybeforcedtostopandmakea second charge in the later stages, which may not suit their running styles.
liked and picked.” With the Internet, crowdsourcing can help the naming process. At WinStar, employees can enter a naming contest. For Gemologist, they put the naming contest on Facebook. It was won by Al Hilbert, a New Yorker who picked up on the horse’s dam, Crystal Shard. The Facebook contest produced some 400 names, and the WinStar officials narrowed them down to the one they liked best, said bloodstock assistant Amy Nave. Hilbert was at Saratoga for the Wood Memorial, and he’s supposed to attend the Derby, too. In the Let’s Go Stable, nine investors were in the syndicate that owns El Padrino. Founder Bryan Sullivan said each investor is allowed to suggest one name. The first time around, no one liked any of the names. But Sullivan’s partner, Kevin Scatuorchio, had the name reserved, and everyone liked it. “It means godfather in Spanish,” Sullivan said. “He’s actually the exact opposite because he’s so laid back. But it’s a good trait because he’ll be able to handle the Derby crowds.” The pedigree is still the best source for names, and this year’s Derby features plenty of that kind of inspiration. Rousing Sermon’s sire is Lucky Pulpit and his dam is Rousing Again. Take Charge Indy is the product of A.P. Indy and Take Charge Lady. The stallion Scat Daddy helped two of his colts: Daddy Long Legs and Daddy Nose Best, whose dam is Follow Your Bliss. Trinniberg combines his sire, Teuflesburg, with his owner’s native country, Trinidad. Creative Cause’s sire is Giant’s Causeway. Maybe the most clever use of pedigree is Done Talking, the colt produced by Broken Vow and Dixie Talking. Sometimes, there’s more sentiment involved. Union Rags’ name comes from his sire, Dixie Union, and one of his maternal forebears, Glad Rags II. That mare belonged to owner Phyllis Wyeth’s family, won England’s 1966 One Thousand Guineas and became a foundation mare for their farm. Then there are the names plucked from everyday life. J. Paul Reddam, owner of I’ll Have Another, has said the horse is named for Reddam’s response to his wife’s nightly query of “Do you want any more cookies?” as he lies on the couch. Owner Ahmed Zayat named Bodemeister for his trainer’s son, Bode Baffert, who in turn is named for friend and famed skier Bode Miller. Dr. Kendall Hansen stayed even closer to home, naming the grey Hansen for himself. But no doubt the most thought went into the naming of Went the Day Well. Team Valor Racing has gotten so many questions about it that they just send out the email from the man who bought the horse in England, Mark Ford, who owns 25 percent of the horse. Ford said the phrase comes from an epitaph written by John Maxwell Edmonds in 1918: “Went the day well? We died and never knew; But well or ill, England, we died for you.” A 1942 English war film had the same title.

YATESVILLE – Brandon Matthews breezed through his high school career at Pittston Area with several accolades, including a PIAA Championship in 2010. Now, the much-honored golfer will take his skills to the Division I collegiate level at Temple University, he announced on Friday at Pittston Area’s Cefalo Center. “The biggest thing is what this coach could do with a golfer no matter what skill level,” Matthews said about Owls coach and teaching professional Brian Quinn. “As a golfer, he’s going to make me better. I’m going to be better coming out of there no matter what than where I am right now. I couldn’t guarantee that with any other school and I knew that was the deciding factor.” The son of Donna and Ted Matthews will major in Business Management and chose the Owls over other notable schools such as San Diego State, Louisiana State and the University of North Carolina. But there were many other reasons for Matthews’
“It’s close to home. An hour 45 minutes from my front door so if I’m homesick, I can go home anytime. … I can go to the Phillies all the time.” Under Quinn the last five seasons, the Owls have turned the program around. In just his second season in 2008, Quinn led Temple to its first team championship in three years at the Big Five Invitational. The team placed tenth at the Atlantic-10 Championships last weekend and did not qualify for the regional event to be held May 17-19. The NCAA Championships will be held May 29-June 3 at the Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, Calif. The golf season begins with a fall session in September and October and, after a break during the winter months, resumes in March. Next season, Temple will still be part of the A-10 before moving to the Big East the following campaign. Quinn is also a former professional, winning 17 events on the Asian PGA, South African PGA and South American PGA Tours. Getting paid to golf is something Matthews hopes to accomplish when his career at Temple con-

cludes in four years. “Finish college, get my business degree and from there, try to go on Tour depending how I am,” the future Owl said. “And if that doesn’t work out, probably become a PGA Teaching Professional somewhere along the line. I’m going to try to my hardest to make it on Tour, but if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work.” Matthews is not just a standout golfer. He’s an honor student at Pittston Area and is one of the alltime great golfers to pass through the area, and Quinn knows what kind of person he’s getting in the Dupont resident. “He has done a great job both academically and athletically,” Quinn said in a statement to Pittston Area principal John Haas. “In my opinion, I believe Brandon has the ability to be a top collegiate player in the nation. I look
forward to spending the next four years watching him grow into a great golfer, but more importantly a great human being.” Pittston Area coach Len Benfante only contacted Quinn through writing, but he praised his former star and says the sky is the limit for Matthews’ future and even compared him to former PGA Tour player from Hanover Area Ted Tryba. “Unlimited ceiling,” Benfante said. “I’ve never seen anyone like him. When he’s on his game, he’s as good as anyone I’ve ever seen and I’ve gone to pro tournaments and watched pros play. “I never saw (Ted) Tryba play in high school. I saw him play after high school. But talking to local (coaches) that watched him play in high school, this kid is every bit or better than Ted was at this age.”

SWOYERSVILLE – For Misericordia University’s baseball team, the accomplishments have been piling up throughout a regular season in which the Cougars went 32-7, setting a school record for wins and leading the MAC Freedom Conference in many statistical categories. Misericordia’s pitching staff had the lowest team ERA in the conference at 3.83 and held opponents to a .260 batting average. The staff was led Evan Robaczewski, who was awarded conference Pitcher of the Year honors after going 10-0 – setting a school record for wins in a season – and leading all pitchers in strikeouts. The defense was there all season long as well as the Cougars posted a fielding percentage of .968 and turned 37 double plays, both tops in the conference. Not to be outdone, the offense seemed to always show up as Misericordia hit .303 as a team and was shut out just once this season. The Cougars scored 10 runs or more on nine separate occasions and lit up the scoreboard for a season-high 24 runs in a game against Stevenson University. Put it all together and it added up to a No. 1 seed in the Freedom Conference Tournament and a season that was on the radar of every one of Misericordia’s opponents. That’s just fine with head coach Pete Engbert. “Ever since I’ve been here we’ve been the underdog, but since winning the conference tournament last year they’ve all been gunning for us,” said Engbert, now in his fifth year at the helm. “But I’m really pleased with the way the guys have responded this year. “Coming into this season I had high expectations … and most of our players had been returning veterans, knew what the expectations were and executed on a daily basis.” Even on the rare occasions when another team had Misercordia’s number for that day – such as Friday, as Manhattanville scored 11 runs in the final three innings to upset the Cougars -- Misericordia showed the ability to respond. With the exception of a seven-day stretch in mid-April and the regular season finale, Misericordia followed its three other losses with win streaks of at least five games. “There were a few keys; we got a lot of good pitching all year long and the defense was good all year,” Engbert said. “And with our pitching, with Evan, he’s an absolute workhorse. Everybody plays with a lot of confi-
dence when he’s on the mound.” The praise for Robaczewski’s stellar season comes as an added bonus for a team that was without the former member of the University of Pittsburgh team while heading into last year’s tournament. Robaczewski, a junior who played his high school ball at Wyoming Valley West, returned to the area to be closer to family and has high hopes after a strong season. “My time at Pitt just wasn’t working out for me,” Robaczewski said. “Now, I love being on a winning team. All you ask for is to win and it’s great. I was thinking about some other options, but it’s a good thing I didn’t follow through with them and came here. We had high hopes at the beginning of the season and everything has been working out.” While pleased with his own effort, Robaczewski said he couldn’t have had his success without the run support from his offense, much of which came from Kenny Durling. Durling, a high school teammate of Robaczewski’s, finished the season with the secondhighest batting average on the team at .408 and also set a school record with 48 RBI over the season. His performance was rewarded with Freedom Conference first team honors. “It’s nice, sure, but I just want to win, just go out and give it my all,” Durling said. “I’m just going out there every day and doing what I can to help this team win. Coming off last year we know we had a great team, we knew we had to put the pieces together.” While most coaches would be more than happy with Robaczewski on the mound and Durling at the plate, Engbert is quick to point out that two players don’t make a conference champion and that his team’s overall depth might be the biggest strength for the Cougars heading into postseason play. “He had a heck of a year,” Engbert said of Durling. “He had the best year of his career on the field and hit .410. Andrew Tressa was part of an outstanding double play tandem. Twothirds of the way through we moved him to third base and he’s done an outstanding job. Gabe Noyalis transferred in from Bucknell and he had thrown some innings for them as a freshman. We’ve had a number of other pitchers step up, like Matt Karabin and Pat Clark, a senior set a school record for 17 career wins. “You never know what happens in a playoff format. We can’t overlook anybody,” Engbert said. “I think if we don’t change anything, if we stick to the pitching and defense that has won for us all year that we should be all right.” Nationally ranked Misericordia plays today at 11 a.m. in an elimination game.

76ers tops Bulls in Game 3 for 2-1 lead The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Spencer Hawes scored 21 points, grabbed nine rebounds and hit the go-ahead jumper late in the fourth quarter to help the Philadelphia 76ers rally to beat the Chicago Bulls 79-74 on Friday night and take a 2-1 lead in their Eastern Conference playoff series. Hawes scored 10 clutch points in the fourth to give the eighth-seeded Sixers the surprising series lead. Game 4 is Sunday in Philadelphia. Already playing the rest of the series without reigning MVP Derrick Rose, the Bulls got another scare in the third quarter when Joakim Noah left with a sprained left ankle. Noah, who scored 12 points, returned in the fourth quarter
Erving returns to 76ers as adviser
PHILADELPHIA — Julius Erving has returned to the Philadelphia 76ers as a strategic adviser. The Sixers made the announcement Friday at halftime of Game 3 of their playoff series against Chicago. Erving’s deal runs through 2015 and he will be available to the franchise on an as-needed basis. He will counsel CEO Adam Aron and managing owner Joshua Harris. Erving will also take on a larger role as a goodwill ambassador for the team, meeting with fans and sponsors. Erving played 11 seasons with the Sixers and led them to the 1983 NBA championship. His No. 6 was retired by the team and hangs in the Wells Fargo Center rafters. He will continue to live in Atlanta. Erving presented the game ball before tip.
and mostly hobbled around the court. With Rose out, the Sixers believed they were in perfect position to knock off the topseeded Bulls and build a series lead on their home court. Good plan. The Sixers scored only 11 points in the third quarter and trailed by double digits early in
the fourth before taking off against the battered Bulls. Hawes keyed the surge and buried two free throws to make it 71-70 with 3:28 left. After getting crushed on the boards all game, the Sixers scooped up a loose ball rebound and hit the open court, only to have Andre Iguodala miss a long and unnecessary
3-point attempt. Iguodala, bothered by right Achilles’ tendinitis, chucked the ball off the backboard to the dismay of a crowd that has seen him do that too many times to count. Celtics 90, Hawks 84 BOSTON — Rajon Rondo had a triple-double with 17 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists to lead the Celtics to a 90-84 overtime victory over the Atlanta Hawks and give Boston a 2-1 lead in the first-round playoff series. Game 4 is Sunday night. Ray Allen returned after missing almost a month and scored 13 points in 38 minutes. Kevin Garnett had 20 points and 13 rebounds and Paul Pierce scored 21 points one game after leading Boston with 36 points and 14 rebounds.
NFL
Colts get first look at Luck and like what they get to see By MICHAEL MAROT AP Sports Writer
INDIANAPOLIS — All Andrew Luck wanted to do was stay composed on the field. He could have fooled anyone. While Luck acknowledged that he was still trying to get acclimated to a new playbook, a new locker room and new teammates, those who watched closely on Friday said the new Indianapolis Colts quarterback looked a whole lot like the one they remembered at Stanford. “He’s the same Andrew, as brilliant as ever,” said tight end Coby Fleener, Indy’s second-round pick and one of Luck’s college teammates. “He went out and was calling plays that were probably 30 words long off the top of his head. He’s amazing.” Luck wore a red No. 12 jersey, just like he did in college, and of course it helped to have some familiar faces on the practice field -- notably Fleener and another ex-Stanford teammate, receiver Griff Whalen But the No. 1 overall pick in last week’s NFL draft acknowledged Friday’s debut did not feel
the same. He was anxious and nervous. Television and still cameras were scattered around the back side of the team complex, and some of the team’s front-office personnel even came outside to catch their first real glimpse of the new franchise quarterback. Most was impressed with what they saw in the first workout of this weekend’s rookie mini-camp. “He’s unflappable, mature beyond his years,” new coach Chuck Pagano said. “You listen to some of those play calls and you know why he’s an architectural engineer. He’s going to have a great career in that in about 15 years.” First, he’ll get a crash course in NFL play-calling, which will be a challenge for someone widely regarded as the most polished college quarterback since Peyton Manning. Pagano said he’s hoping the 38 new players learn some simple things this weekend: What it AP PHOTO takes to be a professional, where to line up, play calls and the tem- Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck throws during the po of practice.

WASHINGTON — Hard to blame Capitals forward Brooks Laich — or anyone who played in Washington’s three-overtime loss to the New York Rangers — for wanting to catch up on sleep. While dozing, Laich wound up having quite a nightmare. “I woke up, and for some reason, I thought the season was over. I had a deep sleep — I had a long deep sleep — and I thought the season was over,” Laich recounted Friday. “And then it refreshed in my mind that we only lost one hockey game, that it’s 2-1. We’re still in a good position.” Yes, Brooks, a team needs to win four games to end a series, so there’s more hockey to be played between the Capitals and Rangers, starting with Game 4 at Washington today. Top-seeded New York holds that 2-1 lead Laich reminded himself about, thanks to a 2-1 victory in Wednesday’s extra-long contest. “Your morale is certainly a notch up after winning a game of that length, rather than losing,” Rangers center John Mitchell said. “That is important for our team.” Rangers coach John Tortorella used fewer players for more minutes apiece than Washington coach Dale Hunter, who spread ice time out more evenly among a larger group in Game 3. Tortorella bristled Friday at a question about his team rebounding physically from the fatigue, saying: “We’re not tired. ... This isn’t a tired team. Like I said yesterday, we have no chance if we ...” He cut himself off there, then added: “I’ll just leave it at that. We’re fine.” The Capitals, meanwhile, are hoping to continue a pattern: They haven’t lost two consecutive games in more than a month.
That consistency allowed Washington to make a late-season push to qualify for the playoffs as the No. 7-seeded team in the East. It also let the Capitals come back to eliminate the reigning Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins in the first round after trailing that series 2-1. “We’re mentally tougher. We’ve talked a lot about the adversity we’ve gone through throughout the course of the season. When things are getting tough on us as a group, we stick to our systems well,” forward Matt Hendricks said. “We don’t deviate away from them, the way we used to, where we’d get down a goal or two and we’d get ‘individual.’ We’d try to do things on our own. (Now) we’re relying on our system, on our teammates, and it’s benefiting us.” Coach Dale Hunter, who replaced the fired Bruce Boudreau in November, has managed to get players to focus more on defense and on shot-blocking, on conservative and possessionprotecting offense. “We bounce back. Six weeks ago we needed to win. We couldn’t have a losing streak or we wouldn’t be playing right now,” Hunter said. “We’ll be fine” on Saturday. After repeated earlier-thanexpected exits from the playoffs following fantastic regular seasons — including four consecutive division titles — Washington is hanging around against higher-seeded teams in close-ascan-be games. Nine of the Capitals’ 10 playoff games have been decided by one goal. Five have gone to overtime. “It keeps you in the game. It keeps you always intense. It keeps you right in the moment. Little mistakes cost you. It’s fun to play in those kind of games. Those are the games you want to play in,” forward Jason Chimera said. “I won’t lie to you: It would be nice to go out and get a 5-0 lead in the first period and kind of ride it. But I don’t anticipate those kind of games.”
Coyotes beat Predators to take 3-1 series lead By TERESA M. WALKER AP Sports Writer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Shane Doan scored in the first period, Mike Smith made 25 saves and the Phoenix Coyotes beat the Nashville Predators 1-0 on Friday night to grab a 3-1lead in the Western Conference semifinal series. By winning their first game in the month of May, the Coyotes can advance to the conference finals with a win in Game 5 on Monday night in Arizona. The Predators played with forwards Alexander Radulov and Andrei Kostitsyn scratched for a second straight game, this time the decision by coach Barry Trotz to stick with the lineup that won 2-0 on Wednesday night. They sorely missed their of-
fense, though Nashville thought it tied it with 7:12 remaining. But officials waved off the power-play goal because a whistle blew before the puck crossed the line. The Predators wound up outshooting Phoenix 25-24, but they had chances with the net open they simply missed with Radulov and Kostitsyn on the sideline. Radulov leads Nashville with a team-high six points in the postseason, and Kostitsyn is tied for the team lead with three goals. Fans cheered the announcement that the two were scratched after they were suspended for Game 3 for an apparent curfew violation last weekend in Arizona. Nashville had plenty of chances, outshooting Phoenix 10-5 in the third.

Shawn Mitchell said Friday he didn’t know where the brain will be sent. “The Seau family really has, almost like Junior, a philanthropic approach, where they always desire to help others,” Mitchell said in a phone interview. “The purpose is not initially to discover anything about their son and what led to these tragic circumstances, but rather the betterment of other people and athletes down the road through anything that can be learned through the study.” He said the family was not speculating as to whether concussions were a factor in Seau’s suicide. Garrett Webster, the administrator and player liaison for the Brain Injury Research Institute, said his group has requested that the family donate the brain but hasn’t heard back. “I don’t want this to sound too crass, but we’ve sort of made our pitch,” said Webster, the son of the late Hall of Fame center Mike Webster of the Pittsburgh Steelers. “We hope the family choses us, but the important thing is somebody’s going to get it and it’s going to get looked into. Junior Seau was a wonderful man and we’re all aware of his work with charities. I wish it never happened. The important thing is, in some way, this will continue his legacy on giving back to the community and helping people.” Webster said it was his understanding that Dr. Bennett Omalu, the co-founder of the Brain Injury Research Institute, assisted with the autopsy as a professional courtesy, and the trip gave him the opportunity to speak with the family. Medical examiner’s spokeswoman Sarah Gordon said she couldn’t comment beyond what her office released regarding the findings of the autopsy. Officials at Boston University’s Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy did not return calls from The Associated Press seeking comment Friday on whether researchers there had reached out to the Seau family. The Boston University center has analyzed the brains of dozens of former athletes, including that of former Chicago player Dave Duerson, who shot himself in the chest last year. Duerson’s family has filed a wrongful death suit against the NFL, claiming the league didn’t do enough to prevent or treat concussions that severely damaged Duerson’s brain before he died in in February 2011. Another ex-player, former Atlanta Falcons safety Ray Easterling, who had joined in a concussion-related lawsuit against the league — one of dozens filed in the last year — shot himself last month at age 62.

termine when he’s done, and I don’t think he wanted to be done because of an injury.” Rivera remained with the team Friday night in Kansas City. He plans to return to New York this weekend before consulting with Yankees team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad. Rivera said he was touched by the outpouring of support he received after the injury — even Miami Heat star LeBron James mentioned the “freak accident.” There was a bouquet of flowers in the empty locker that adjoined Rivera’s in the clubhouse, bringing a smile to his face. “He’s special,” Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said Friday night in Boston. “Hopefully he’ll come back, even though he’s with the bad guys.” Royals manager Ned Yost called Rivera “one of a kind,” while Philadelphia closer Jonathan Papelbon referred to him as the “godfather” of their role. “It’s just kind of tough to put into words,” Papelbon said. “It’s just tough to see your leader, your idol — it’s hard to even comprehend it or talk about it.” Longtime Yankees manager Joe Torre called the injury unfortunate. “Even though he has a tall mountain to climb I think he still

Watney takes lead as Woods heads home
and into the trees. There was a mad scramble to surround the ball, but when Woods arrived, the ball was nowhere to be found. Rules official Mark Russell spoke to spectators who said they saw it land, and considering the open terrain, determined a fan had taken the ball.
The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Nick Watney answered what he referred to as a wake-up call at the Wells Fargo Championship by taking the lead. Tiger Woods might need one after missing the cut. Watney had gone nine straight rounds on the PGA Tour without breaking 70 and had failed to crack the top 10 in all nine of his stroke-play tournaments this year. He worked hard to change that, and it paid off Friday with an 8-under 64 that gave him a one-shot lead over Webb Simpson going into the weekend. A two-time winner last year, Watney had failed to crack the top 30 in a full-field event this year, and missed the cut in New Orleans for his first weekend off at a tournament since July. “I think last week was a wakeup call for me,” Watney said. “And I’ve worked really hard these five days leading into this event. I think it just shows I’m making progress. Who knows what’s going to happen this weekend, but I’m really excited for it. More hard work, and hopefully I’ll be in this position a lot more.” Woods wound up in rare position. He failed to make a birdie on any of the par 5s or any hole on his back nine, missing a 4-foot birdie putt on his 17th hole with the cut on the line. Woods wound up with a 73 — his eighth consecutive round in the 70s — for an even-par 144 to miss the cut by one shot. It was only the eighth time in 267 events on the PGA Tour that Woods missed the cut, and the first time it happened at the same place twice — Quail Hollow, where in four trips before the downfall in his personal life Woods had won once and never finished worse than 11th. “This is one of my favorite tour stops, and unfortunately, I’m just not going to be around

“Coming off our last series and going every night, I’ve been able to get into a rhythm,” he said. “Last year was the first year I was able to play in a seven-game series, and you really get into the feeling and emotion. Going out there every night knowing who you’re facing has been a lot of fun.” In last season’s playoffs Thiessen was remarkable. Through two rounds he posted a 1.67 goals against average has a lot of fight left in him,” said Torre, now the MLB’s vice president for operations. “It’s a testament to Mariano’s work ethic that he was injured while preparing for a game as he has done his entire career.” Rivera had lunch with Alex Rodriguez on Friday and spoke with Derek Jeter in front of the captain’s locker when they arrived at the ballpark. He planned to address the rest of the team before Friday night’s game against the Royals. “We need him around and we need his presence and his leadership,” A-Rod said. “He promised me that he’s going to be around as much as possible and I’m going to hold him up to that.” Jeter simply shrugged when he was asked about Rivera making a comeback, pointing out that he knew all along that his close friend of some 20 years would never be forced into retirement. “Regardless of when he decides to retire or slow down, I think we’re going to remember him for everything that he’s done,” Jeter said. “People aren’t going to remember him for this. It’s an unfortunate incident. Whenever he decides to do it, it’s going to be the same story.” Girardi said that David Robertson and Rafael Soriano will close games the remainder of the season, though he seemed to indicate Robertson will get the first shot.

for the last two days,” Woods said. Phil Mickelson and Lee Westwood narrowly avoided joining him. Mickelson was right on the cut line and facing a scary finish on the par-3 17th over water and the par-4 18th, with a stream running down the left side and trees and trouble on the right. He played both holes perfectly for pars, though his 72 left him 11 shots out of the lead. Lefty couldn’t believe how much the course had changed from Thursday morning, especially with the swirling wind that made the course nearly tough enough to let Woods back into the tournament. Woods was tied for 85th when he finished. At one point, he was tied for 72nd. Seventy-four players made the cut at 1-under 143, the first time in the 10-year history at Quail Hollow the cut was under par. “I haven’t seen as big a
change since like Shinnecock ‘95 where it was a whole different course,” Mickelson said, referring to the U.S. Open. “So I played well today. I didn’t get the ball in the hole as well as I would have liked, but I hit a lot of good putts that caught the lip, I hit a lot of putts that just didn’t go in and I hit a lot of good shots that just didn’t quite go my way today.” Westwood was outside the cut line until he holed an 18-foot birdie on the 17th and made par on No. 18 for a 72. He will play with Mickelson on Saturday. Watney was at 12-under 132 and will play in the final group with Simpson, who had a 68. Watney is staying with Simpson, who lives about a mile away. One side benefit from his 64 was that he has a bet with his host that high score takes out the garbage each day. Stewart Cink, winless since he captured the British Open at Turnberry in 2009, had a 69 and joined Ben Crane (64), John
and a .940 save percentage. Seven games into this year’s playoffs, Thiessen’s numbers are trending back to where they were last season. He currently has a 2.14 GAA and a .906 save percentage. “He’s been solid,” Hynes said. “He hasn’t given up any bad goals. He’s been a rock back there for us and has given our team confidence.”

He didn’t skate in Friday’s practice and Hynes said he is day-to-day. emerged as a dependable setup man for Rivera, tossing 11 scoreless innings to start the season. He’s coming off a breakout year in which he appeared in 70 games with a 1.08 ERA, earning his first All-Star selection in the process. “Very confident in Robby,” first baseman Mark Teixeira said. “He’s been so good for us in the eighth-inning role. He’s got great stuff. He’s got confidence. He’s got the support from us and we hope to hand him a lot of leads.” The Yankees officially placed Rivera on the disabled list prior to the game, giving them 10 players on the DL — one fewer than the rival Red Sox. In a flurry of roster moves, right-hander Michael Pineda was transferred to the 60-day DL, and outfielder Dewayne Wise and right-hander Cody Eppley were brought up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Right-handed reliever D.J. Mitchell was optioned to Triple-A. It’s the first time that Rivera has been on the disabled list since 2003, when he missed time with a groin injury. But the sting of the move was lessened by Rivera’s declaration that he would resume his sterling career once his knee has been repaired. “I thought he was going to come back anyways,” Teixeira said. “I was one of those guys that didn’t believe he was going to retire. He’s still one of the best players in the game. It’s tough to think at 42 he’d walk away.”

Senden (68) and D.A. Points (68) two shots out of the lead. Ryan Moore had a penalty stroke for his ball moving on a tap-in and had to settle for a 70. He was at 9-under 135. Senden looked as if he might catch Watney in the lead when he was in the middle of the fairway on the par-5 seventh hole. But his approach went well long and under a tree, and he wound up with a bogey. Rory McIlroy celebrated his 23rd birthday Friday with a birdie on his final hole for a 68 that kept him in range, just six shots back. McIlroy nearly missed the cut two years ago until an eagle on his 16th hole of the second round allowed to make it on the number. He went on to win the tournament. Woods won’t have such a chance, though he did have some luck — a bizarre ruling on the par-5 fifth hole in which he never found his ball and didn’t get penalized. His second shot went well left, over the gallery

Talladega could continue to spice up season By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer AP PHOTO
Tyler Farrar forms a “W” in honor of Wouter Weylandt as he wins the third stage of the Tour de France in July 2011.
Memories of friend still strong with Farrar Belgian Wouter Weylandt died a year ago in a crash at Giro d’Italia. By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer
The news came tearing through the peloton on that awful spring day, in whispers passed from rider to rider following Stage 3 of the Giro d’Italia. When the news finally reached Tyler Farrar, he nearly collapsed in anguish. “What happened in the Giro was pretty horrible,” he recalls. “There’s no denying that.” It was nearly one year ago that Farrar’s good friend, Belgian rider Wouter Weylandt, was killed during a crash on a fast, technical descent. The affable, well-liked Weylandt became the fourth rider to die in the history of the race, and the first in one of cycling’s three main tours in nearly two decades. Farrar had spent countless hours with Weylandt on training rides around Belgium, where the American makes his in-season home. He was so grief-stricken that he pulled out of the race after riding a ceremonial Stage 4, crossing the finish line with Weylandt’s teammates. “It was a rough time,” Farrar says now, with the Giro set to start today in Herning, Denmark. “That kind of thing doesn’t go away. I don’t think it ever completely goes away. But cycling is my life, my job, and even though it happened, I still love the sport. I still love racing my bike.” That has helped Farrar not only cope with the passing of a close friend, but with all the other heartache that bikes have caused him. There have been his own crashes, too numerous to count, including the one a couple years back in the Tour de France, when he broke his wrist. He suffered through 10 stages before the pain became too much, finally pulling out of cycling’s premier race. Then there was the day he received a phone call that his father, Edward Farrar, an orthopedic surgeon back home in Wenatchee, Wash., had been hit by a car while riding to work. The elder Farrar had played linebacker at Georgia Tech, climbed some of the world’s highest mountains and become an accomplished cyclist in his own right. Now he’s paralyzed from the chest down. “Cycling has certainly taking some things away from me in my life, but it’s also given me a lot,” Tyler Farrar says. “There’s been rough moments, and moments where it wasn’t my favorite thing in the world, but in the global picture, it’s given me the life I have. “I’ve wanted to be a professional cyclist since I was about 14 years old,” he added, as if trying to convince people he’s not crazy. “You just have to deal with the hard part.” The 27-year-old Farrar has persevered through those many hard parts — those dark days after Weylandt’s death, when he would lay in bed sometimes all day long — to emerge on the doorstep of what could be the brightest of summers.
TALLADEGA, Ala. — It’s on to Talladega Superspeedway, where the focus Friday was on engine temperatures and tandem racing and everything that factors into the fast Alabama track. But as everyone turned their attention to Sunday’s race, there was still a slight hangover from the dramatic decisions that altered NASCAR’s last outing. A late penalty took Carl Edwards out of contention for the win Saturday night at Richmond, and a caution for debris gave Kyle Busch the opening to take the victory away from Tony Stewart. After finishing third, Stewart complained the debris was nothing more than a plastic bottle that provided zero threat to anyone on the track. Both drivers left Richmond unhappy with NASCAR, but both had cooled by the time they got to Talladega. “There is nothing else that I can do,” said Edwards, who was penalized for jumping a restart. “I am satisfied with that personally, that I did everything I could do and that is that.” Stewart also seemed resigned to simply accepting the final outcome. “It looked like a bottle to me, but the end result is the same thing: it still cost us an opportunity. It still cost us a win,” Stewart said. “Yes, they did what they needed to do, but you just hate the timing of it. And, you hate that it even happened in the first place.” Either way, the late-race theatrics had people talking, and that’s what NASCAR needed after a stretch of ho-hom racing. The last month has featured unusual-
ly clean, caution-free racing, and the long green-flag runs have stretched the field and eliminated accidents. The last multi-car accident in the Sprint Cup Series was at Martinsville Speedway, three races ago. On Friday, NASCAR president Mike Helton defended both the penalty against Edwards, “it was never in doubt he jumped the restart,” and the need for the caution debris that spoiled Stewart’s race, “it was a good bit more significant than a water bottle. We know the difference from a water bottle.” But he didn’t discount the affect both incidents had on the perception of the overall product, which usually spikes whenever NASCAR is shrouded in controversy and drama. Helton remains confident there’s plenty of action ahead for NASCAR. “I’ve been around long enough that I’ve seen stretches where we’ve got more drama than we can handle, and I’ve seen stretches where the focus should be on the race track,” he said. “So just sit tight. In my opinion, there’s going to be drama, and there was a little last weekend between them and us. “Tony didn’t like our call, Carl didn’t like our call, and those are the two guys that tied for the championship last year. And they were both mad at us. Mad at us because of the intensity of them wanting to win races, and that’s what drives the sport. I think (intensity) is alive and well. When that turns into drama — just stay tuned.” Now comes Sunday at Talladega, where it’s unclear what kind of racing fans will see. The 2.66-mile superspeedway has traditionally been one of the
most exciting venues on the NASCAR schedule, in part because of the constant threat of a massive accident that can collect a large portion of the field. The mandated use of restrictor plates at Daytona and Talladega forever
kept the entire 43-car field bunched in a pack, and one wrong move by one driver could trigger “The Big One.” That changed over the last few years as drivers figured out the fastest way around the track was
in a two-car tandem with one driver pushing another. Fans hated the tandem racing, and NASCAR worked tirelessly over the winter to create a rules package that would end the practice.

Jeter’s homer leads Yankees
Tigers 5, White Sox 4
DETROIT — Jhonny Peralta’s two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning gave the Detroit Tigers a win over the Chicago White Sox. Chicago led 4-2 after Gordon Beckham’s tiebreaking two-run shot in the seventh, but Detroit got a run back in the eighth on an RBI single by Miguel Cabrera. After Alex Avila’s one-out single in the ninth, Peralta ended it with a
homer to right-center off Matt Thornton (1-1). Indians 6, Rangers 3
CLEVELAND — Johnny Damon hit a two-run triple and Jeanmar Gomez pitched seven strong innings to lead the Cleveland Indians over the Texas Rangers. Gomez (2-1) gave up seven hits and three runs as Cleveland won for the fourth time in five games. Texas has lost five of seven, but still leads the AL West. Shin-Soo Choo and Jack Hannahan homered off Colby Lewis (3-1) as Cleveland took an early lead. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — David Price struck out 12 over eight strong innings and Jose Molina hit his first homer of the season to lead the Tampa Bay Rays to their sixth straight win. The Rays, who are a major league-best 19-8, improved to 13-1 at home and won for the 12th time in 13 games overall. Price (5-1) threw just 106 pitches while allowing an earned run, three hits and a walk. He is the second AL pitcher to win five games this season, joining teammate James Shields, who got his fifth victory Wednesday.
Nationals come back to beat Phillies in 11
WASHINGTON — Pinchhitter Wilson Ramos delivered an RBI single with two outs in the bottom of the 11th inning Friday night to give the Washington Nationals a 4-3 comeback victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Steve Lombardozzi started the winning rally against Michael Schwimer (0-1) by singling with two outs, and 19year-old Bryce Harper — the youngest player in the majors — drew his third walk of the game before Jayson Werth walked, too, loading the bases. That brought up Ramos, who hit a 1-2 pitch to bring home Lombardozzi and set off a celebration, with his teammates streaming out of the dugout to greet him at first base. Cubs 5, Dodgers 4
CHICAGO — Paul Maholm pitched six crisp innings for his third consecutive win and the Chicago Cubs held on for a victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Maholm allowed one run and three hits while improving to 1-5 with a 4.91 ERA in nine career starts against Los Angeles. The left-hander has won his last three outings after dropping his first two starts of the year, allowing three runs over 18 1-3 innings during the streak. Reds 6, Pirates 1

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Derek Jeter belted a two-run homer, CC Sabathia went eight innings for the third straight time and the New York Yankees beat the Kansas City Royals 6-2 on an encouraging Friday night. It began with closer Mariano Rivera’s announcement that he plans to return from a devastating knee injury rather than retire, and ended when David Robertson struck out the side in the ninth to give Sabathia (4-0) his fourth straight victory. Jeter singled and scored on Mark Teixeira’s homer in the first inning, and then broke the game open with his fifth homer during a four-run seventh. Jeter hit only six homers all last year, his fifth coming on Sept. 4.

T H I S D A T E I N B A S E B A L L May 5 1904 — Cy Young of the Red Sox pitched a perfect game against the Philadelphia Athletics, beating Rube Waddell 3-0. Having pitched nine hitless innings in two previous efforts, he ran his string of hitless innings to 18. 1917 — Ernie Koob of the St. Louis Browns pitched a no-hitter against the Chicago White Sox for a 1-0 win in St. Louis. 1925 — Manager Ty Cobb of the Detroit Tigers hit three homers, a double and two singles against the St. Louis Browns. 1925 — Shortstop Everett Scott of the New York Yankees was benched, ending his streak of 1,307 consecutive games played that started while playing for the Boston Red Sox. Scott, who gave way to Pee Wee Wanninger, had the longest playing streak before Lou Gehrig. 1962 — Bo Belinsky of the Los Angeles Angels beat the Baltimore Orioles 2-0 with a no-hitter at Dodger Stadium.

Yankees shut out by Red Wings The Times Leader staff
ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Ramon Ortiz’ best start for Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre will go down as a loss. The right-hander only allowed one run in six innings of work on Friday against Rochester. But the Red Wings’ pitchers were better holding the Yankees scoreless as the Yankees dropped a 3-0 decision at Frontier Field. While Red Wings starter Scott Diamond allowed runners to reach base in each of the first three innings but pitched his way out of trouble all three times, Ortiz couldn’t do the same although he was close. The right-hander allowed a leadoff double to Rene Tosoni to start the top of the fourth. He then got Aaron Bates and Joe Benson on strikes, but Matt Rizzotti doubled in Tosoni for a 1-0 lead. The Yankees loaded the bases in the bottom of the third with one out, but Diamond got Jack Cust to pop out and Brandon Laird to ground into a fielder’s choice to end the threat. SWB also had three runners on in the bottom of the seventh with two outs and in the bottom of the ninth with one out. In the seventh with Steve Pearce – the hottest hitter on the team coming up entering the game as the third-leading hitter in the International League with an average of .372 – he flied out to end the threat. Pearce (0-for-4) again came up empty in the ninth with three runners on and struck out for the second out. Cust flied out to end the game. The game was 1-0 until the top of the ninth when SWB reliever Chase Whitley allowed the first two batters to reach putting runners on first and third with no outs. The Red Wings’ second run scored on a single by Darin Mastroianni. A sacrifice fly by Ben Revere gave Rochester a 3-0 advantage. Yankees leadoff hitter Kevin Russo (2-for-3) and No. 9 hitter Ray Kruml (2-for-4) were the lone multiple hitters for the team, which stranded 13 runners on base and was 1-for-13 with runners in scoring position. Former Red Baron teammates in 2001 will square off today when Nelson Figueroa pitches for the Yankees against Pawtucket’s Brandon Duckworth. Figueroa also took the hill for the Barons in 2001 and Duckworth was on the 2003 squad. Transactions The Yankees were part of six transactions involving New York, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre or Trenton. Reliever Cody Eppley was called up from SWB to New York and Dewayne Wise was signed and selected by N.Y. from SWB. D.J. Mitchell was optioned back to Triple-A. Also for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Ramiro Pena was placed on the sevenday disabled list and Corban Joseph was activated from the D.L., but was sent to Trenton. Red Wings 3, Yankees 0 Rochester

Movie based on Hasbro board game debuts May 18

Markets drop sharply
Stocks plunged Friday after the government reported that hiring slowed sharply last month. The report confirmed investors’ fears that the U.S. economic recovery is faltering. The losses in the market were widespread. Both the Nasdaq composite and the Standard & Poor’s 500 index closed out their worst weeks of the year. The Dow Jones industrial average had its second-worst week of the year. The dollar and U.S. Treasury prices rose as investors dumped risky assets and moved money into lower-risk investments. It was the third straight daily loss for the Dow, which is still up 6.7 percent this year, the S&P 500 8.9 percent.
PPL earns more profit
PPL Corp. announced Friday a big jump in first-quarter profit. The Allentown electric company posted earnings of $541 million, or 93 cents a share, for the three-month period ended March 31. That’s 35 percent more than last year’s first-quarter earnings of $401 million. However, excluding special items, PPL’s earnings from ongoing operations for the quarter were lower -$409 million, compared to $407 million in 2011.

‘Battleship’ faces choppy seas
Apple sways funds
By RYAN NAKASHIMA AP Business Writer
Shares of Apple Inc. are having a huge impact this year on the performance of mutual funds, especially those investing primarily in large-cap growth stocks like Apple. One reason is that the stock is up about 44 percent, four times the return of the broader market. Apple has become the world’s most valuable company, and represents 7.3 percent of an index comprised of growth stocks within the Russell 1000. Hundreds of funds use the Russell 1000 Growth index as their performance benchmark, so most of those funds own Apple stock in an effort to beat or match its returns.
LOS ANGELES — “Battleship,” the first in a string of movies based on Hasbro board games, has survived an armada of tomato-throwing critics and chugged to $170 million in ticket sales overseas. Yet it faces choppy seas as it steams toward its U.S. debut on May 18. What might sink “Battleship” is competition from other hotly expected blockbusters, including the superhero adventure “The Avengers” and Sony’s long-await-
Canadian company hoping to build disputed pipeline resubmits application.
The U.S. Postal Service is urging the House to quickly pass legislation that would give it wide authority to close thousands of low-revenue post offices, reduce labor costs and end Saturday delivery. The agency forecasts a $14.1 billion loss by the end of this year; without changes, it says annual losses would exceed $21 billion by 2016.

WASHINGTON — The Canadian company trying to build the disputed Keystone XL pipeline in the U.S. submitted a new application for the project Friday after changing the route to avoid environmentally sensitive land in Nebraska. TransCanada said it applied again to the State Department for permission to build the pipeline to carry oil from socalled tar sands in western Canada to a company hub in

Steele City, Neb. From there, the project would link up with other pipelines operated by the company to carry oil to refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast. The Obama administration blocked the pipeline earlier this year, citing uncertainty over the Nebraska route -- a decision that drew fire from Republicans and industry groups. State Department approval is needed because the $7 billion pipeline would cross a U.S. border. Obama is under pressure to support the pipeline from Republicans and business and labor leaders who argue it would create jobs; the State Department estimates it could result

in up to 6,000 new jobs. “The multi-billion dollar Keystone XL pipeline project will reduce the United States’ dependence on foreign oil and support job growth by putting thousands of Americans to work,” said Russ Girling, TransCanada’s president and chief executive officer. The pipeline’s opponents, including Democrats and environmental groups, say it would transport “dirty oil” from tar sands in Alberta, Canada, that would require huge amounts of energy to extract. They also worry about a possible spill. The pipeline would travel through Montana, South Dakota, Kansas and Oklahoma, in addition to Nebraska.

That’s tough given the competition. In a little more than one week, “The Avengers” snagged $304 million abroad, far more than “Battleship” did in three weeks. Both movies squarely target the young males that make or break Hollywood movies in the all-important summer movie season. American patriotic militarism is accepted overseas, but not relished, and international audiences appear to have overlooked a heavy dose of it in “Battleship” to get their action movie fix.
well as “Risk” and “Candy Land,” which are in the works at Sony Corp.’s movie studio. Universal Pictures took the unusual step of releasing “Battleship” in international markets five weeks before its U.S. debut. The overseas haul for “Battleship” goes part way to justifying its reported $209 million price tag. But after subtracting splits with theater owners and marketing costs, it is estimated to need about half a billion dollars at box offices to turn a profit.
ed “Men in Black III,” which rolls out May 23. The hit-or-miss fate of a given Hollywood big-budget movie doesn’t normally matter that much. Media company analysts discount the studios as too volatile to be given much credit inside large conglomerates. But “Battleship” is the first board game movie since “Clue” tanked in 1985. It’s a barometer for the appetite of audiences for a handful of other Hasbro board game movies, including Universal’s own “Ouija,” due out next year, as

BEIJING — China agreed Friday to let foreigners own bigger stakes in its securities firms and promised to limit export subsidies after a highlevel dialogue with the United States went ahead despite a standoff over a Chinese legal activist. China’s government also said it was implementing an earlier commitment to expand access to its auto insurance market and would allow greater foreign investment in Chinese stocks and bonds. It promised to pursue reforms of its controversial exchange rate controls but gave no timeline. This week’s Strategic and Economic Dialogue came as a

weak global economy and pressure to generate jobs is fueling U.S. demands for Beijing to lower market barriers and scrap currency controls. Washington complains China’s currency is undervalued, giving its exporters an unfair advantage and hurting foreign competitors and the global economy. Chinese officials agreed to raise the cap on foreign ownership of securities joint-ventures to 49 percent. That is above China’s promise of 20 percent ownership as part of its World Trade Organization obligations. The two governments said they would start negotiations this summer on limits to export credits. NATURAL GAS $2.28

A cold front that passed through overnight is slow to move away this morning and, therefore, cloudiness will persist for a time, allowing for only limited amounts of sunshine. There is the slight chance for a shower this afternoon. Skies should clear tonight under a full moon. But since the moon is now closest to the earth, known as perigee, the moon is a tiny fraction bigger and brighter than normal. A Supermoon! The naked eye really can't see the difference, but see for yourself tonight. This phenomenon happens about once a year. - Tom Clark

Spruce up your house in no time By MARY BETH BRECKENRIDGE Akron Beacon Journal

OUTDOOR ‘ROOMS’ OFFER A VARIETY OF PLEASURES
N
a combination of culinary,
By ROSANNE DOMBEK For The Associated Press
ow’s the perfect time for dreaming about your spring and summer garden. Gather up your seed and garden catalogs, take some notes, visit a garden center, let your imagination
loose and put a plan on paper. Choosing one style, though, can be difficult. Do you want a
formal garden, a cottage garden, perhaps herbs mixed in with vegetables and flowers? Will you grow only culinary herbs or
aromatic and decorative?
Why not a little of them all? Consider planting a number of smaller, themed gardens. I did that at my home in Maine and came to see each one as a room: ••• There was a beautiful knot bench in the TEA GARDEN where I grew chamomile, lemon thyme, sage, yarrow, lemon balm, roses, calendula, bee balm, mint, lemon verbena and several scented geraniums. The bees loved this garden, and it was a great stress-reliever to
sit on the bench in the warm sun and listen to the buzz of their activity, inhale the fragrances and enjoy the garden’s peace and beauty. In the middle of winter, it was possible to sit and recall the warmer days of summer; the bee-balm seed heads were as fragrant then as in midsummer, and you had only to crush one to be taken back. ••• The CULINARY GARDEN was circular with a birdbath in the center. The walks around the beds were of crushed rock, and bricks outlined the circular shape. In the winter, the snow See GARDEN, Page 2C
Some easy undertakings can make a big difference in the appearance of your home: Take a tour. It’s easy to get used to little flaws and stop noticing. Periodically walk through your house with a note pad, looking critically at each room and jotting down the fix-ups needed. Don’t let the task overwhelm. Pick off a chore or two as you have time. Revive your woodwork. Window frames, door casings, baseboards and other wood surfaces can scar over time, but hiding dings is easy. I used Restor-A-Finish from Howard Products Co. to freshen my woodwork. Rub it on with fine steel wool, and it softens the old finish just enough to let the stain seep in to hide all those little blemishes. You also can disguise scratches in wood with a wax touch-up stick, a crayon or even a nut meat, but I like how Restor-A-Finish leaves a protective coat over the repaired areas. Best, it’s fast. I had all the door casings and window frames on my first floor done in 15 minutes. Touch up the paint. Walls can take a beating. Little chips and scars make painted surfaces look dowdy. When I finish a paint job, I like to save a cup of leftover paint in a plastic deli container for touchups. The paint stays fresher than it would in a can and is easier to store. Choose a container with a tight-fitting lid so you can shake the paint to mix it before you start to work. Then take a small artist’s paintbrush and brush on a little paint to hide the scars. Clean smudges. Look closely to spot smudges on walls and doors, especially around switches and knobs. A Mr. Clean Magic Eraser removes those in a snap. So does Scrubbing Bubbles, which removed all kinds of dirt from hard surfaces. I don’t think I’ve ever used it to clean a bathroom, but I use it all the time on my walls. Clean light fixtures and fans. Have you looked at your diningroom chandelier lately? Chances are no, because we rarely look up. Chandeliers are particularly prone to collecting dirt, because they have so many surfaces. A good dusting will let your light shine brighter. Check the state of the globes over light fixtures, the blades of ceiling fans and the plastic grates over bathroom exhaust fans. The latter might benefit from removing the grate and giving the inner workings a good vacuuming, but shut off the power first. Vacuum crevices. Did you ever look at the spot where your carpet meets the baseboard? The vacuum cleaner doesn’t reach it well, so it’s a place where lint, dust and other dirt collect. That’s what a vacuum cleaner’s crevice tool is made for. It’s a nozzle with a narrow end that fits into slender spaces, and it’s perfect for grooming carpet edges. Dust high and low. Baseboards get dusty. Ceilings collect cobwebs. With a long-handled duster, make a pass around the top of a room, then the lower perimeter. Doesn’t that look better?
HOW COOL IS THIS?
On a budget? This D-I-Y table adds spark By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com
A d-i-y furniture project that takes little time and costs little money? Almost sounds too good to be true, but ask Ed Rosser of Wapwallopen how he made a cable-spool coffee table for about $20. Rosser’s wife, Lisa, got the idea from Pinterest and Country Living magazine. “The neat thing about it is not only is it a table, it’s also used as a bookshelf, and you can push it around anywhere in the room that you want to because it’s on wheels,” Rosser said. The hard part? Finding the spool. “You need to get an electrician’s wiring spool, which can be tough,” he said. “I went to an electrical contractor and
was given it for free. I would imagine someone might ask around $20, $25.” The spools come in various sizes. Dowels are used to create partitions to separate books. To determine dowel placement, Rosser measured around the spool and divided it by the number of ¾-inch dowels he wanted: 8. He marked off the spaces and got to work drilling holes at the marks with a ¾-inch bit. “Make sure to drill from what’s going to be the top of the table down. As you’re drilling, the bit is going to tear the wood apart, and you don’t want that on the table top.” The dowels are then hammered into the holes until they touch the bottom of
the spool, where they’re fastened from underneath with wood screws. “You have to sand the tops of the dowels so they sit flush with the table top,” Rosser said. Next, make it mobile. Rosser screwed three wheel casters to the spool bottom. Finally, paint the spool the color you desire and use something to seal the top of the table to prevent scratching. Rosser used water-based polyurethane. So, is this a good fit for a beginning do-it-yourselfer? “Oh my God, yes,” he said. “It’s quite simple. It took me about two hours to do the whole thing, from putting it together to painting it.” • Total cost: With the free spool,
Rosser spent a total of $21; $15 for the dowels and $6 for the wheel casters • Project level: Intermediate • How cool? Five stars. Putting together a piece of furniture this big in so little time is a pretty awesome feat. • Tips: “These spools are bolted together, so tighten the bolts to the spool before even starting anything. As contractors and people use them, they loosen up over time. Make sure to tighten the bolts and reinforce the strength of the spool itself.” If you’ve completed something crafty and are willing to share so others can learn, please contact Sara Pokorny at spokorny@timesleader.com or call 829-7127.

Think twice about layering roof shingles
A: It is cheaper, but I’ve never considered it wise. My roof was done just before I bought the house, and I’ve seen just one layer underneath. Most of my neighbors have new roofs, and the roofers took off the old to make sure the decking was solid and what needed to be replaced was done. If there is just one layer of shingles on the roof and you are adding one more, then, yes, it might be all right. From what I’ve read, most roof structures can support a couple of layers of shingles without causing problems. It is important, however, that the roof underneath be able to accommodate the one being installed on top of it. If a lot of the old shingles are curled, the new ones might assume that shape. Does the existing roof leak? You might be covering it over rather than repairing it. There is also a manufacturer’s warranty to check out before anything is done to make sure that you don’t inadvertently void it. ••• Q: Two of my sisters have made renovations to their bathrooms. They have removed the bathtubs to replace them with walk-in showers. They only have other halfbaths, therefore no other bathtubs. What are your feelings regarding sale values of homes if there is not a bathtub available in the house? A: Although we have become a people that appears to favor the quick shower over the long bath, most buyers want to have the option available. I can see a point in having just one tub in the house rather than in every bathroom, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to remove one, especially if it did the job. Older bathtubs tended to be shorter than modern ones. People who use tubs prefer to stretch out in them rather than curl up their legs. If the existing tub was, say, 4 feet and I could add a longer one without having to spend thousands of dollars to do so, I would. You cannot assume that buyers’ tastes will be just like yours, especially in a resale market in which those who are looking want everything to be available and don’t want — or have — lots of money to make it so. They’ll just move on to the next house.

urprising amenities and special touches make this 2,000-square-foot home, Plan HMAFAPW00921 from Homeplans.com, a lovely choice. Bay windows dress up several rooms, including the front bedroom, the master bedroom in back and the dining room. Enter through the covered front porch into the foyer. To the right, the two secondary bedrooms share a full bath that has two sinks to speed up morning routines. Ahead and to the right, the formal living room opens to a small side porch. For greater flexibility, or to turn this space into a home office, consider modifying the room so it can be closed off with doors. Further in, the heart of the home consists of the large family room, the open U-shaped kitchen with a snack bar and the dining room with a niche for special china. The master suite offers access to

Q: I have an asphalt-shingle roof that I am thinking of replacing. In our neighborhood I have seen other roofs replaced. Some have had the old shingles removed and others have had the new shingles installed over the existing ones. Is one way better than the other? I imagine putting new shingles over the old ones is cheaper, but is it as good?

strawflowers can be harvested from just a dozen plants; I picked them every sunny day.

The pleasure of giving and getting was twofold: between the garden and me and between my friends and me. ••• I had never heard of a LIBATION GARDEN until one day I realized I had inadvertently planted hops, grapes and elderberries together in one corner of the main garden and that all are used to make alcoholic drinks.

garden. Old-fashioned cinnamon pinks, though not as attractive as the new hybrids, smelled beautiful. I planted several dwarf lilacs and a half dozen peonies, along with several fragrant rugosa roses and garden phlox. There was a succession of aromatic blooms all summer, from the early spring peonies to the late summer phlox. I harvested huge baskets of peony petals for potpourri and added rose petals from the rose garden. I enjoyed strolling in the gardens just at dusk and picking a bouquet of fragrant herbs to infuse for use in the bathtub. I would put some sprigs in a pan of water, simmer for a few minutes and then strain the infusion into the bath water. The whole
house would smell sweet. ••• With all this talk of fragrant baths, meditative teas and secret hiding corners, you might get the wrong impression of what it is like to cultivate more than an acre of garden space. My knees were permanent-

Aspiring artist can achieve his dream but first must find a steady job Dear Abby: I’m an artist and budding filmmaker with a B.A. degree. My problems are my job situation and where I live. My dad has told me that — like him and his father — my brother and I share a similar problem. We all have trouble getting and keeping jobs. We never seem to get ahead or be content or comfortable. On my mother’s side, however, she, her father, her brother and my cousin all have held steady jobs. Why is that? As an artist, I feel I don’t really fit into any job description. Mom would like me to work for the federal government like she does, but I don’t want to. I have fought depression and
DEAR ABBY ADVICE personal attacks from friends and classmates who all told me to give up and get a “real” job. It makes me even more determined to realize my dream, but it’s getting harder. Can you advise me? — Swimming Against the Current Dear Swimming: I’ll try. Most people work so they can have food on their table and a roof over their heads. Their jobs serve a purpose. I agree with your mother that you should have one — but I wouldn’t presume to dictate what kind.
UNIVERSAL SUDOKU
For your father to imply that you will never get or be able to hold a permanent job is wrong and unfair to you, and I urge you not to fall into that kind of self-fulfilling rut. You can hold a job and pursue your art and filmmaking on your own time, although your success may take longer than you would otherwise like. Many others have done it, and so can you. For inspiration, talk to your mother’s side of the family. Dear Abby: I live in a different state from the one where I grew up. Twice a week I call my elderly parents to touch base. While I enjoy speaking with Dad, my mother turns these calls into a trial. Conversations with her are onesided. She rarely asks me how I’m
CRYPTOQUOTE
doing, and when I tell her things, she ignores or quickly glosses over my news and redirects the subject to herself. She rambles on about trivial events in her life, barely acknowledging me on the other end of the line. Some days I am patient and tolerate it. On others, my fuse is shorter and I ask her to focus more on conversing with me, which offends her, and she accuses me of being rude. I am an interesting, successful man who is frustrated my mother can’t connect with me more meaningfully. I don’t see my parents often and would like to be part of their lives. Mom is not by nature a generous person, but the telephone seems to magnify her self-absorption. Do you have any thoughts on how to handle her? — Listening But Not Heard
Dear Listening: Yes. It appears that you are seeking validation from your mother that you may have never received from her. It’s regrettable, but at her stage of life, you are not going to change her. She may be rambling because few people are willing to tolerate her self-centeredness. On the days you are feeling more patient, let her ramble on; on those that you don’t feel that way, keep the conversation upbeat but brief.
To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, selfaddressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)
HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
GOREN BRIDGE WITH OMAR SHARIF & TANNAH HIRSCH PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION
ARIES (March 21-April 19). People don’t like to think about it or admit that it’s going on, but within every relationship, there is a tally, and everyone involved knows the score. Someone owes you in a subtle way. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Build some accountability into your plans. You’ll have a greater sense of purpose if you know you will have to report your progress to another person. You won’t feel that you’re alone in your ambitions. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll shine in the spotlight, so go where you’re likely to get the chance to present your case or talk about your cause. If you have a shot at showing off your knowledge, all the better. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will be swimming with the sharks again, so get prepared. Don’t think out loud. Answer the tough questions decisively, or you’ll risk being dismissed as wishy-washy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Lay your cards on the table. After all, you can’t help what you were dealt. Right now it’s better to err on the side of full disclosure rather than being accused of withholding information. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are not easily manipulated, and yet when there’s a part of you that needs or wants something, a mere suggestion is all it takes to convince you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You read the signs but that doesn’t mean you have to follow them. The signs were placed just to get you to the conventional route, which is not the only way.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Every culture has an indigenous language and jargon. If you are going to live in that world successfully, you have to get comfortable with the language. It’s not an option, it’s a must-do. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You don’t have to be told to think positively because it’s your natural inclination. Even when people seem to be disappointing you, you reserve a small window of faith and hope that they will prove you wrong. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). People need to know you exist. Take up as much space as possible. Walk the parameters of your territory. Gesture broadly. Make waves in the air around you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have this way of disarming people, and it will be most effective. You’ll ask personal questions, and the tilt of your head will get the object of your affection to open up. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Use your time at a leisurely pace, especially when it’s your turn to take the floor. When you relax, your audience will relax. There’s really no rush to get to the point. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 5). You will establish communication lines with important people and move your life in the direction of your dreams. You’ll have zero expectations for family life. June and your loved ones will make you proud anyhow. In July, you’ll work for the sheer enjoyment of it and make a killing. In August, you’ll have a cheerleader. Aries and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 24, 1, 2 and 28.

Mercedes SLK 350 finally cleans up its act If it’s raining, you can still see the sky, thanks to the Panorama roof, a $500 option that replaces the steel roof with a glass one. If you choose it, consider another option, Magic Sky Control, which varies the opacity of the glass roof. Another worthwhile nicety: Airscarf, which places a vent at the bottom of the headrests to blow warm air on the nape of your neck. It’s part of the Premium 1 Package that also adds the previously mentioned sound system, satellite radio, heated seats and other goodies. It’s a decadent treat. But the poetry ends once you lift the trunk lid. While cargo room is adequate with the roof up, it’s stingier on space than an airline overhead bin with the roof folded. Pack lightly. The 2012 SLK350 is a powerful road machine, one that you’ll want to drive, appreciate and use up. You can’t help yourself. It possesses the essential essence that separates the great rides from the merely satisfactory, the thrill rides from the no-frills appliance. Yes. It’s that good, something I never thought I’d say about an SLK, especially in 1998.
LARRY PRINTZ WHEELS I don’t feel particularly poetic when I test-drive a car. Oh sure, a car might — if I’m lucky — send my mind into flights of literary fancy. But having driven thousands of new cars, few factory-fresh rides actually take me to this hallowed ground that resides in an admittedly remote corner of my cerebral cortex. Certainly I wasn’t expecting this from the redesigned 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK350. Blame it on my first test drive of a 1998 SLK, when a headlight fell off the car at highway speed. That only added to my dislike of the car’s stubby, blobby shape, which was festooned with retro styling cues. What’s worse, the SLK was an adequate roadster, but a mediocre sports car. When redesigned for 2005, the second-generation SLK was a marked improvement despite its soft lines and that odd proboscis upfront. But its personality still made it unsafe to drive if you were born with a ychromosome. So I was genuinely surprised by this third-generation model, which is the first SLK worth recommending. You might think it’s merely the styling and, to these eyes, this is the first SLK that’s downright fetching, channeling the finest styling cues of the first SLs and expertly marrying them to a modern Mercedes design aesthetics. The grille seems as if it came from the new SLS AMG Gullwing, while the side sculpting recalls the new E-Class and C-Class lines. The back still seems a bit stubby. But overall, this car has a lot more testosterone in its genetics. You can tell once you’ve strapped yourself inside and twist the ignition fob. That’s when one of three engines spring to life. The entry-level SLK250 has a turbocharged 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 201 horsepower.
Next is the SLK350 and its 3.5-liter double-overhead-cam V6 that produces 302 hp. Finally, for the power hungry, there’s the SLK55 AMG, with a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8 engine good for 415 hp. I opted for the middle child, the SLK350, because it seemed the best balance of power, fuel economy and price. With that decided, the next question was where do you drive a German roadster that’s bred for devouring the autobahn at triple digit speed? After all, we chafe under the tyranny of the double nickel speed limit and money-grubbing, small-town sheriffs waiting to empty your wallet. The answer: take it to your favorite country road. You know the kind, the one with two lanes of endless gray ribbon that ends at the horizon
and is divided by a dotted yellow line and a crystal blue sky is as large as your driving passion. Or one with twists and turns that glimmer in the distance like a desert mirage, its siren song tempting you indulge your right foot. Who could resist? The country music played softly like a roadside lullaby as the blacktop unfurled before me. Sure, Wagner would be more appropriate, but this was North Carolina, not northern Germany. But listening to music is beside the point, despite the SLK’s excellent Harman Kardon audio system. It’s the intoxicating snarl of the SLK’s engine, mated to the sevenspeed transmission, that provides a mechanical melody.
And what a sweet song this roadster plays. The gearing is perfect, unloading mountains of torque that allows you to bring the tail around, tires howling, just before the electronic nannies kill the fun. The ride is firm, the steering properly weighted although somewhat lacking in feel. It almost feels like you’re strapping on an engine, rather than driving a car. The cockpit is a cozy place for two people. Making it an alfresco experience takes holding the roof lever down for less than 20 seconds. Once that’s over with, you’ll find that the wind rustles your hair just enough to make people wonder what you’ve been doing. My advice? Give them a mischievous smile.
