Head of typical public company made $9.6 million last year, AP finds

CEOs enjoyed big paydays in 2011 By CHRISTINA REXRODE and BERNARD CONDON AP Business Writers

NEW YORK — Profits at big U.S. companies broke records last year, and so did pay for CEOs. The head of a typical public company made $9.6 million in 2011, according to an analysis by The Associated Press using data from Equilar, an executive pay research firm. That was up more than 6 percent from the previous year, and is the second year in a row of increases. The figure is also the highest since the AP began tracking executive compensation in

For too long, activists say, CEOs have been richly rewarded no matter how a company has fared — “pay for pulse,” as some critics call it. To be sure, the companies’ motives are pragmatic. The corporate world is under a brighter, more uncomfortable spotlight than it was a few years ago, before the financial crisis struck in the fall of 2008. Last year, a law gave sharehol-

LAPD seeking Manson tapes Police want to review audio conversations between family member and attorney. By LINDA DEUTSCH Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Police want to review audio recordings of conversations between a Manson family member and his attorney as detectives search for information about unsolved killings. Los Angeles detectives seeking the material are merely practicing due diligence after receiving a tip that the recordings and other items in the estate of nowdeceased lawyer Bill Boyd, who once represented Charles “Tex” Watson, were becoming available, LAPD spokesman Andrew Smith said. “This whole thing has gotten totally blown out of proportion,” Smith said, commenting on a report that first appeared on KNBC-TV. Homicide detective Dan Jenks and Lt. Yana Horvatich, who made the request, have no specific information on what might be in the recordings, but they want to examine them, Smith said. In their letter, they said they believed Watson discussed unsolved murders with his lawyer. The audio recordings were previously made available by Watson to the co-author of his book, “Will You Die for Me? The Man Who Killed for Charles Manson Tells His Own Story.” The book contains no information on unsolved murders. The book features gruesome, detailed account of Watson’s role in the killings of actress Sharon Tate and six other people. It also discusses Manson’s murderous plans for those killings and includes sections on the formation of the Manson Family cult, Watson’s family his-

for him Tuesday in the May 16 shooting death of Daron Rhashawn Trollinger, 26, at the Eagle Ridge Apartments on Beverly Drive, Edwardsville. State police said Barnes would be charged by Philadelphia police and held there. Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis said he will be returned to the Wyoming Valley for an arraignment on the charge of criminal homicide. Barnes was wounded in the shooting and was discharged from the Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center, Plains Township the day after the shooting around the time state police investigators found a .22caliber revolver wrapped inside a jacket in a kitchen cabinet in his Main Street apartment. He was not a suspect when he was discharged. His arrest warrant was obtained five days later and Barnes was considered armed and dangerous when he fled the area. “That was our concern,” said Salavantis. According to arrest papers: Barnes, who went by the street name, “Bomb,” was interviewed by state police in hospital emer-

tory in Texas, and his complete devotion to Manson. He said he agreed to murder for Manson without question and felt no remorse afterward. He also noted that he was under the influence of LSD during most of the time he was with Manson. Boyd, a lawyer hired to represent Watson by his parents, conducted a long fight to prevent his extradition to California from Texas, where Watson went after the murders. By the time Watson arrived, he was not speaking and was ruled to be insane. He was committed to a mental institution for a year before he was found fit to stand trial separately from Manson and three women followers. Watson, now 65, was convicted of the seven murders. All four defendants were sentenced to death but saw their sentences commuted to life when the death penalty was briefly outlawed in 1972. Testimony at the Manson trial cast Watson as Manson’s chief lieutenant, the cruel killer who confronted the pregnant Tate and her friends and announced, “’I’m the devil and I’m here to do the devil’s work.” Police requested about eight hours of recordings of Boyd and’ Watson that were made when Watson returned to Texas after the killings, according to KNBCTV. The request was made in a letter dated March 19 and was included in a U.S. bankruptcy filing involving Boyd’s law firm in Texas, the station said. “The LAPD has information that Mr. Watson discussed additional unsolved murders committed by followers of Charles Manson,” said the letter written to a bankruptcy court trustee in Tyler, Texas. A hearing on the request is scheduled Tuesday in Texas. gency room and said he was shot in the head and chest while struggling with a gunman who tried to rob him in one of the buildings at the apartment complex. He fled the building and returned to his apartment where his girlfriend cleaned his head wound and called Luzerne County 911. But two people who were with Barnes the night of the shooting said they went to the apartment complex with him to buy marijuana from Trollinger. The unnamed witnesses met with Trollinger in a stairwell of building G6. One of the witnesses said Barnes burst through a rear door brandishing a blackcolored revolver. The witnesses fled the building. One of the witnesses heard gunshots, met up with the other witness and heard additional shots as they ran across a field behind the apartment building to Barnes’ residence. The other witnesses said when Barnes later returned home there was blood on his white T-shirt. The other witness heard Barnes say he was robbed. The day after the shooting Barnes called one of the witnesses and asked for the other witness who was not available. During the call, the witness recalled Barnes saying, “the cops found the gun” and then abruptly hung up.

Lambert ‘trespasses’ at Kirby

‘American Idol’ alumni performs tunes from his No. 1 second studio release. R E V I E W By BRAD PATTON For The Times Leader

Just one day after his new album became the No. 1 record in the country, Adam Lambert was in town to headline the “98.5 KRZ Summer Smash” at the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts on Friday. “Trespassing,” Lambert’s second studio release, debuted atop the Billboard 200 yesterday and made a little history by replacing the latest offering by Carrie Underwood at No.1. It was the first time an album by an “American Idol” alum took over the top spot from another AI alum. Lambert took the stage of the Kirby Center – the same theater in which he launched his first ever solo tour two years ago – at 9:35 following an introduction by one of KRZ’s disc jockeys that included the words “tall,” “talented,” and “tasty.” To a deafening roar from the near-capacity crowd, Lambert sported a look slightly reminiscent of Elvis in “Jailhouse Rock” as he wore a black suit over a black and white striped shirt. “You guys, we’re number one,

and it’s all because of you,” he said following his opening number, the title track of his latest album. “Thank you so much for your passion, your support and your insanity.” Later he thanked his musical director for taking what he called a “crazy electronic studio album” and making it come alive on the stage. Although the album hit the shelves less than two weeks ago, it seemed nearly everyone in the audience was very familiar with the material, singing along to every song and waving their “Glam sticks” in unison. An early highlight was a stripped down version of “Whataya Want From Me” from Lambert’s first album, 2009’s “For Your Entertainment,” as was the new song “Broken English.” Following another new number “Naked Love,” which Lambert stressed for the family-friendly audience is about freeing yourself not taking your clothes off, he scored big with his latest single “Never Close Your Eyes” as he headed down the home stretch of his 45-minute performance. Preceding Lambert was The Cab, the duo of singer Alexander DeLeon and pianist Alex Marshall, who did a five-song, 30-minute acoustic set. Opening number “Angel with a Shotgun” with its quick segues into “Don’t Stop Be-

lievin’” by Journey, Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream,” and Kings of Leon’s “Use Somebody,” was a treat. The Cab left the crowd craving more when it finished up with a nice rendition of its latest single “La La.” Kevin Rudolf, a singer, songwriter and guitarist, was impressive in his 20-minute set even though his guitar was mostly inaudible for the majority of it. Standout songs included “I Made It,” “Don’t Give Up,” and his closing number, “Let It Rock.” The less said about the opening act the better. Neon Hitch, a British songstress in short shorts and a bikini top, spent most of her 10 minutes on stage writhing on the floor and singing songs with titles that cannot be printed in a family publication. Backed by what she called “her tribe” – two shirtless guys with bongos and a DJ, she celebrated her birthday by treating the crowd to three songs, the last of which she turned into “Love U Betta” for the evening. The official attendance figure was not available at press time, but it looked to be a fairly large crowd with a few scattered empty seats. But what it may have lacked in size, it more than made up for in excitement and noise, as it stood, sang and shrieked from the moment Lambert took the stage.

L-L grad killed daughter

1969 graduate of Lake-Lehman High School killed his 3-year-old A daughter before taking his own life

during a violent domestic dispute at the family’s home in Triangle, about 17 miles north of Binghamton, last weekend. The Associate Press reported Larry Oney, 61, shot his daughter, Allison, before shooting himself and setting Oney their house ablaze. Broome County Sheriff David Harder said Oney initially tied up his wife, Melissa, 39, with neckties when she asked him for a divorce after the family returned home from visiting a zoo. Oney initially wanted to kill his wife but decided to torture her by killing their daughter, Harder said. Harder said Oney assaulted his wife and cut her Achilles tendon before he killed their daughter. Melissa Oney freed herself from the neckties and called 911 from a cell phone. Oney graduated from Lake-Lehman High School and attended King’s College in Wilkes-Barre. He was a licensed physician assistant at United Health Services in Johnson City.

Students learning from laboring W-B CTC class builds docks for Wilkes-Barre’s dragon boat races.

By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

PLAINS TWP. – Big boats require big docks – four of them to be exact, each 8 feet by 16 feet and weighting an estimated half a ton. And when you want floating docks that size built on the cheap, you call WilkesBarre Area Career and Technology Center. Their students can get the bulk of the work done in two days. “I thought it would take longer,” teacher

Phil Rodzon said Thursday after his students had finished nailing the decking on the frames of docks intended for the dragon boat races coming to the Susquehanna River in June and September. The docks are made out of pressuretreated lumber provided at a steep discount from Lowe’s and are still awaiting flotation devices that will be attached under the decks to keep them above water. They are needed because dragon boats – nearly 40 feet long and just wide enough to hold a drummer, steersman and two rows of 10 paddlers shoulder to shoulder – will return to Wilkes-Barre big time this summer.

The Riverfront Parks Committee, which brought two dragon boats in for races featuring eight teams last June, hopes to have up to 30 teams participate in September’s dragon boat festival, racing in four boats at a time (two boats will be available for up to 10 teams at RiverFest next month). To race that many teams, you’ve got to load and unload the boats quickly, meaning docks must be big enough to hold most, if not all of the 22 people about to board. A couple of these behemoths hooked together should do the job nicely. See DOCKS, Page 9A

Suspect became berserk, cops say Zebidiah C. McKaskle faces several charges after a struggle with officers. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

PLYMOUTH – A man detained in a jail cell yelled out he was “getting froggy” and lunged at officers, according to charges filed on Friday. Police charged Zebidiah Clifford McKaskle, 28, of West Main Street, Plymouth, with two counts each of aggravated assault and simple assault, and one count each of prohibited offensive weapons, institutional vandalism, resisting arrest, possession of drug paraphernalia, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness. He was arraigned by District Judge Martin Kane in WilkesBarre and jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $100,000 bail. According to the criminal complaint: Police investigating a disturbance involving McKaskle who was suffering drug-related problems and was “out of his mind” while armed with a knife in the area of 340 W. Main St. at about 1:30 a.m. Thursday. McKaskle ran from police, discarding a black case and a seveninch serrated knife in a parking lot. Police said they found a marijuana pipe in McKaskle’s pocket. McKaskle was placed inside a cruiser where he allegedly kicked an interior divider and had a medical emergency. He was transported to Wilkes-Barre General Hospital where he told officials he smoked marijuana and methamphetamine, and ingested Xanax, the criminal complaint says. McKaskle was released from the hospital and driven to the Plymouth Police Department where he was placed in a holding cell. Police said in the complaint McKaskle became combative and threw toilet water at a surveillance camera. He allegedly flooded the cell with the toilet and was placed in another holding cell. McKaskle continued to be combative telling officers, “I’m getting froggy and about to jump,” according to the criminal complaint. Police said McKaskle lunged kicking at officers. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on May 30 before District Judge Donald Whittaker in Nanticoke. Edward Lewis, a Times Leader staff writer, may be reached at 829-7196.

SAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS

PITTSBURGH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The attorney for former GOP state Sen. Jane Orie argued that she shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to repay more than $1.3 million that the Senate Republican caucus spent on attorneys related to her eventual

Sandusky charity to shut down

B R I E F

Second Mile will transfer its programs to a Texas-based youth ministry serving abused children. By MATT MOORE and MICHAEL RUBINKAM Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — The charity for troubled youths started by Jerry Sandusky more than three decades ago — and through which the retired Penn State assistant football coach met the boys he is charged with sexually abusing — said Friday it is seeking court approval to shut down and transfer its programs to a Texasbased youth ministry that serves

abused and neglected children. The Second Mile said it has been financially crippled by the child-sex abuse scandal involving its founder and onetime public face and concluded after a six-month internal review that it had no other option but to close. The State College-based charity began the legal process of dissolving itself Friday, submitting a plan to Centre County Court that would transfer its programs and millions of dollars in assets to Arrow Child & Family Ministries Inc., a $36 million charity that operates in Texas, Pennsylvania, Maryland, California and Honduras. “While we are sad that The Second

Mile will not continue running programs, we are heartened that the important work of helping children — and their families — reach their full

potential will go on,” the charity’s interim president and chief executive, David Woodle, said in a statement. The announcement was widely expected after Sandusky’s November arrest plunged The Second Mile into crisis. Donations dried up, volunteers fled and organizations that once referred children to The Second Mile said they no longer would. Prosecutors allege that Sandusky found his victims through the charity he started in 1977 and committed many of his offenses inside Penn State football buildings. He has pleaded innocent to more than 50 counts of sexual abuse involving 10 alleged victims and awaits a June trial.

UN finds enrichment at site have located radioactive I nspectors traces at an Iranian underground

In a report obtained by The Associated Press, the International Atomic Energy Agency said it was asking Tehran for a full explanation. But the report was careful to avoid any suggestion that Iran was intentionally increasing the level of its uranium enrichment, noting that Tehran said a technical glitch was responsible.

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN

France to pull out troops French President Francois Hollande for the first time provided details of his plan to pull France’s combat troops out of Afghanistan by the end of the year, saying Friday he would leave around 1,400 soldiers behind to help with training and logistics. The new French leader, making good on one of the major foreign-policy promises of his campaign, confirmed in a one-day visit to Afghanistan that all of France’s 2,000 combat troops would be brought home by the end of this year — putting France on a fast-track exit timetable that sparked consternation among some allies at a NATO summit in Chicago early this week. ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.

Smoke spreads across state As smoke from a massive blaze in the southwestern New Mexico wilderness spread across the state Friday, health officials as far away as Albuquerque and Santa Fe warned residents to limit outdoor activity over Memorial Day weekend due to growing air-quality concerns. The privately owned ghost town of Mogollon was placed under a voluntary evacuation order as firefighters worked to tame the blaze, which has grown to 70,000 acres or nearly 110 square miles. Two lightning-sparked fires merged Wednesday to form the giant Gila Wilderness blaze, which has destroyed 12 cabins and seven small outbuildings. The Baldy fire was first spotted May 9 and the Whitewater blaze was sparked May 16, but nearly all of the growth has come in recent days due to relentless winds. PORTLAND, MAINE

Churches fight gay vows Scores of Maine churches will pass the collection plate a second time at Sunday services on Father’s Day to kick off a fundraising campaign for the lead opposition group to November’s ballot question asking voters to legalize same-sex marriages. Between 150 and 200 churches are expected to raise money for the Protect Marriage Maine political action committee, said Carroll Conley Jr., executive director of the Christian Civic League of Maine evangelical organization and a member of the PAC. Conley is also trying to drum up support for the Maine campaign from religious leaders from around the country.

Somali forces capture town from militants This is the biggest victory since pro-government forces took control. The Associated Press

MOGADISHU, Somalia — African Union and Somali troops seized a town on the outskirts of Mogadishu on Friday from Islamist militants after three days of fighting, marking the biggest victory over al-Shabab since the progovernment forces took control of the capital last August. A top United Nations official, meanwhile, announced that a presidential election in Somalia will be held on Aug. 20 — with votes cast by lawmakers instead of by ordinary Somalis because of continued

the coalition’s control. More than 300,000 internally displaced Somalis live in and around Afgoye, located 30 kilometers (20 miles) north of Mogadishu. Thousands fled the area in overloaded vans and donkey carts the previous two days amid gunfire and explosions. African Union “and Somali troops are here now, and alShabab abandoned the town,” resident Aden Muse said by phone. “The fighting has stopped and people are indoors. We hope no more fighting will AP PHOTO happen.” Soldiers have taken posiUgandan soldiers serving in Somalia listen while their contions in the police and district tingent commander for Uganda, briefs members. headquarters, residents said. “Tomorrow will be a new insecurity in the country. forces, said the troops moved Lt.

Mexican front-runner promises to reduce violence By MICHAEL WEISSENSTEIN Associated Press

MEXICO CITY — Shortly after sunrise last month in the border city of Nuevo Laredo, police found 14 butchered bodies in a van outside city hall, a salvo in a seesawing battle of horrors between Mexico’s two most powerful drug cartels. Soon after, nine people were hanged from a bridge in Nuevo Laredo. Fourteen heads were left in coolers outside city hall. Eighteen mutilated bodies were dumped by a scenic lake in western Mexico. The decapitated bodies of 49 people were dumped outside a small town 75 miles from the U.S. border. The man who appears likely to become Mexico’s next president says he can ease the waves of violence consuming the

country by changing the focus of its sixyear offensive against organized crime. President Felipe Calderon’s administration has targeted the top ranks of the country’s drug cartels, deploying thousands of troops to capture crime kingpins and seize their drugs and weapons, often in close coordination with the U.S. Enrique Pena Nieto, who has a doubledigit lead five weeks before the July 1 election, says his top security priority will not be arresting the leaders of the organizations that move hundreds of millions of dollars of narcotics each year into the United States. Instead, he and his advisers say, they will focus the government’s resources on reducing homicide, kidnapping and extortion — the crimes that do the most damage to the greatest

number of Mexicans — by flooding police and troops into towns and cities with the highest rates of violent crime.

NEW YORK — Thirty-three years to the day after 6-year-old Etan Patz vanished without a trace while walking to catch a school bus, a man accused of strangling him and dumping his body with the trash was arraigned on a murder charge on Friday in a locked hospital ward where he was being held as a suicide risk. A lawyer for Pedro Hernandez, who was a teenage convenience store stock clerk at the time of the boy’s disappearance, told the judge that his client is mentally ill and has a history of hallucinations. Hernandez, now 51, appeared in court on Friday evening via video camera from a conference room at Bellevue Hospital, where he was admitted earlier in the day after making comments about wanting to kill himself. The legal proceeding lasted only around 4 minutes. Hernandez didn’t speak or enter a plea, but his court-appointed lawyer, Harvey Fishbein, told the judge that his client was bipolar and schizophrenic and has a “history of hallucinations, both visual and auditory.” A judge ordered Hernandez held without bail and authorized a psychological examination to see if he is fit to stand trial. Hernandez was expressionless during the hearing. He wore an orange jumpsuit and handcuffs. A police officer stood behind him. The prosecutor who appeared in court, Assistant District Attorney Armand Durastanti, said it was “33 years ago today that 6-year-old Etan Patz left his home on Prince Street to catch his school bus. He has not been seen or heard from since. It’s been 33 years, and justice has not been done in this case.” Hernandez, a churchgoing father now living in Maple Shade, N.J., was arrested Thursday after making a surprise confession in a case that has bedeviled investigators and inspired dread in generations of New York City parents for three decades. Etan disappeared on May 25, 1979, on his two-block walk to his bus stop in Manhattan. It was the first time his parents had let him walk the route by himself.

The monkey was part of a search in the Carey Patch section of the borough when Arnott’s son, Jeffrey Arnott Jr., 23, was being pursued by police on a stolen all-terrain vehicle on March 19, according to the crim-

PITTSBURGH — A wellknown expert on the natural gas boom is again facing criticism over his ties to industry and a lack of transparency in how he presents work to the public, fueling debates over research that’s been published by major universities. Timothy Considine was lead author on a shale gas report recently issued by the University at Buffalo and a previous report from Penn State University. Critics say both reports presented research in misleading ways and failed to fully disclose funding sources. Considine, now at the University of Wyoming, has gotten funding from industry groups such as the Marcellus Shale Coalition, the Wyoming Mining Association, the American Iron and Steel Institute, and the American Petroleum Institute. On Thursday, the Public Accountability Initiative, a Buffalo nonprofit, issued a critique of the UB study. “Taken together, the serious flaws in the report, industryfriendly spin, strong industry ties, and fundraising plans raise serious questions about the Shale Resources and Society Institute’s independence and the University at Buffalo’s decision to lend its independent, academic authority to the Institute’s work,” the critique said. Some say Considine and the University at Buffalo could easily have avoided the controversies over transparency. “It sounds like a moral blind spot,” said Stephen Satris, a professor of philosophy at the Clemson University Rutland Institute for Ethics. In 2010, Penn State administrators retracted the original version of a report on the economic impact of Marcellus Shale natural gas, noting that Considine and his co-authors made “a clear error” in not disclosing that the report was funded by an industry group, as well as “flaws in the way the report was written and presented to the public.” This week, the University at Buffalo published a correction to Considine’s report on environmental regulations involving the Marcellus Shale, noting that an initial claim that it went through an independent peer-review process “may have given readers an incorrect impression.” The University at Buffalo also said the report “was not funded

or commissioned by external sources.” But Considine told The Associated Press in an email that the University of Wyoming paid him and two other lead authors. Considine said the Wyoming funding was disclosed in a conference call with reporters, and that he was just doing work as a tenured professor. But that funding link wasn’t acknowledged in the actual published report. Considine is the director of the UW Center for Energy Economics & Public Policy, and the group’s website includes a page called “Outside Organizations.” It contains links to the American Gas Association, the American Petroleum Institute, the Natural Gas Supply Association and the International Society for Industrial Ecology. Asked about industry-funded research, Considine replied that “two plus two should always equal four, no matter who paid for the pencil.” He added that he doesn’t see how the shale institute “could provide any more transparency than it already has.” Satris said the suggestion that more transparency wasn’t possible is flat-out wrong, adding that after the PSU experience, the researchers “should know better.” The University at Buffalo didn’t respond to repeated requests from the AP for comment about the Wyoming funding. Though some criticize Considine for accepting research funding from industry, that practice is widespread in academia. Wyoming spokesman Chad Baldwin said the school “does not prohibit professors from doing private consulting work” and wouldn’t have information on private contractual arrangements. “I think that’s behind the times,” Satris said of the school policy, noting that the medical community has moved to embrace full disclosure of research funding after scandals over how the tobacco industry secretly funded pro-smoking studies.

S. Africa, Australia host new telescope

The project will help scientists figure out the make-up of the universe. By DONNA BRYSON Associated Press

PRETORIA, South Africa — Australia and South Africa will share hosting of a giant radio telescope made up of thousands of separate dishes and intended to help scientists figure out the make-up of the universe, the international consortium overseeing the project announced Friday. South Africa led an African consortium that included Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia and Zambia, and telescopes will be erected in all its partners. In South Africa, dishes will be added to a remote site in the arid Karoo desert where a smaller radio telescope project already is under way. South Africa and Australia, which partnered with New Zealand in bidding for the project, had competed fiercely. South Africa claimed victory Friday, saying it got two of the projects three major components. “We may feel slightly disappointed that we didn’t get the whole thing. But I think one should emphasize that we did get most of it,” said Justin Jonas, the chief South African scientist on the project. “Two-thirds of the biggest instrument in the world is still the biggest instrument in the world.” South Africa’s science minister Naledi Pandor and scientists who had prepared the country’s bid celebrated with an Africa-shaped cake at a news conference in South Africa’s capital. “This marks a real turning point in Africa, where we are becoming a destination for science and engineering, and not just a place where there are resources and tourism opportunities,” Jonas added. Australia also welcomed the split decision. “It is an outstanding result for the Australia-New Zealand bid after many years of preparation and an intensive international process,” said Sen. Chris Evans, Australia’s science minister. The Square Kilometer Array telescope will be 50 times more sensitive and scan the sky 10,000 times faster than any existing telescope. It requires huge open spaces with very few humans. John Womersley, chair of the consortium’s board, said the telescope will help scientists answer key questions: “Where do we come from? Where are we going? What is this universe we live in?” “We don’t understand what 96 percent of our universe is made of,” he said.

Bud weakens to tropical storm PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico — Bud weakened to a tropical storm Friday as it headed toward a string of laid-back beach resorts and small mountain villages on Mexico’s Pacific coast south of Puerto Vallarta. Two people, one of them from France, were reported missing in a separate storm in Cuba. The National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida, said that maximum sustained winds that were once blowing at 115 mph had slowed to 70 mph Friday night. The government of Mexico changed the hurricane warning

ders the right to vote on whether they approve of the CEO’s pay. The vote is nonbinding, but companies are keen to avoid an embarrassing “no.” “I think the boards were more easily shamed than we thought they were,” says Stephen Davis, a shareholder expert at Yale University, referring to boards of directors, which set executive pay. In the past year, he says, “Shareholders found their voice.” The typical CEO got stock awards worth $3.6 million in 2011, up 11 percent from the year before. Cash bonuses fell about 7 percent, to $2 million. The value of stock options, as determined by the company, climbed 6 percent to a median $1.7 million. Options usually give the CEO the right to buy shares in the future at the price they’re

PPL officials also visit schools to discuss energy saving ideas and ways the students can help conserve, Nixon said. The message is getting through, he said, noting the posters show recycling, hanging laundry out to dry, and planting trees, among other ways to Go Green. Joe Nixon, a PPL spokesman, said the entries received show “there’s a lot of great creativity

for the coast of Mexico from Manzanillo to Cabo Corrientes to a tropical storm warning. Hurricane watches were also discontinued. Forecasters said the storm would continue to weaken and the center would move over land late Friday or today. Rainfall was expected to accumulate from 6 to 10 inches in many spots and Mexican authorities canceled school in 11 communities expected to be hit by heavy rains in Jalisco state. Emergency workers prepared emergency shelters, many of them in empty school classrooms. Heavy rains and 6-foot (2-meter) high waves pelted Melaque, a beach town on the Bahia de Navidad, about 60 mph (100 kilometers) east of the sparsely populated stretch of coast where the storm’s center was expected to come ashore during the night.

Rafael Galvez, manager of the Hotel Bahia in Melaque, said his staff would to board up windows before Bud’s arrival. “I went through Wilma in Cancun,” which hit as a Category 4, Galvez said. “This is a little less severe.” Category 2 Hurricane Jova hit the area in October, killing six people and flooding parts of Melaque and neighboring Barra de Navidad. “There was a lot of flooding in the whole area, and we lost electricity,” Galvez recalled. But this week, he said, only seven of his hotel’s 26 rooms were occupied, and none of the hotel’s guests were planning to leave. The hurricane center said the storm would hit land, move a little inland and then make a U-turn and head back out into the Pacific. Rain, rather than wind, could be the big threat.

trading at when the options are granted, so they’re worth something only if the shares go up. Profit at companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index rose 16 percent last year, remarkable in an economy that grew more slowly than expected. CEOs managed to sell more, and squeeze more profit from each sale, despite problems ranging from a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating to an economic slowdown in China and Europe’s neverending debt crisis. Still, there wasn’t much immediate benefit for the shareholders. The S&P 500 ended the year unchanged from where it started. Including dividends, the index returned a slender 2 percent. Shareholder activists, while glad that companies are moving a bigger portion of CEO pay into stock awards, caution that the rearranging isn’t a cure-all. For one thing, companies don’t have to tie stock awards to per-

formance. Instead, they can make the awards automatically payable on a certain date — meaning all the CEO has to do is stick around. Other companies do tie stock awards to performance but set easy goals. Sometimes, “they set the bar so low, it would be difficult for an executive not to trip over it,” says Patrick McGurn, special counsel at Institutional Shareholder Services, which advises pension funds and other big investors on how to vote. And for many shareholders, their main concern — that pay is just too much, no matter what the form — has yet to be addressed. “It’s just that total (compensation) is going up, and that’s where the problem lies,” says Charles Elson, director of the Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware. The typical American worker would have to labor for 244 years to make what the typical boss of a big public company makes in one. The median pay for U.S. workers was about $39,300 last year. That was up 1 percent from the year before, not enough to keep pace with inflation. Since the AP began tracking CEO pay five years ago, the numbers have seesawed. Pay climbed in 2007, fell during the recession in 2008 and 2009 and then jump-

out there.” He said while students might be energy consumers today, they’ll be bill payers in the future. So to help them learn what their energy usage means for their families, who are paying the bill, will hopefully encourage them to “help their families become more energy efficient.” Peg Foster, the principal at Fairview Elementary, said she was proud of her students who won but also for the teachers and other students who submitted entries. When she arrived at the school in February, she said conservation education was already a staple at Fairview. She said she was impressed with the efforts the school and PTA made for Earth Day programs and other energy related events including Green Fest.

formance had been stellar and it needed to pay him enough to keep him in the job. Simon’s paycheck looks paltry compared with that of Apple CEO Tim Cook, whose pay package was valued at $378 million when he became CEO in August. That was almost entirely in stock awards, some of which won’t be redeemable until 2021, so the value could change dramatically. Cook wasn’t included in the AP study because he is new to the job. • Of the five highest-paid CEOs, three were also in the top five the year before. All three are in the TV business: Leslie Moonves of CBS ($68 million); David Zaslav of Discovery Communications, parent of Animal Planet, TLC and other channels ($52 million); and Philippe Dauman of Viacom, which owns MTV and other channels ($43 million). • About two in three CEOs got raises. For 16 CEOs in the sample, pay more than doubled from a year earlier, including Bank of America’s Brian Moynihan (from $1.3 million to $7.5 million), Marathon Oil’s Clarence Cazalot Jr. (from $8.8 million to $29.9 million) and Motorola Mobility’s Sanjay Jha (from $13 million to $47.2 million). • CEOs running health-care companies made the most ($10.8 million). Those running utilities made the least ($7 million).

• Perks and other personal benefits, such as hired drivers or personal use of company airplanes, rose only slightly, and some companies cut back, saying they wanted to align their pay structure with “best practices.” Military contractor General Dynamics stopped paying for country club memberships for top executives, though it gave them payments equivalent to three years of club fees to ease “transition issues” caused by the change. The typical pay of $9.6 million that Equilar calculated is the median value, or the midpoint, of the companies used in the AP analysis. In other words, half the CEOs made more and half less. To value stock awards and stock options, the AP used numbers supplied by the companies. Those figures are based on formulas the companies use to estimate what the stock and options will eventually be worth when a CEO receives the stock or cashes in the options. Stock awards are generally valued based on the stock’s current price. Stock options are valued using company estimates that take into account the stock’s current price, how long until the CEO can cash the options in, how the stock price is expected to move before then, and expected dividends. Estimates don’t generally take inflation into account.

ed again in 2010. To determine 2011 pay packages, the AP used Equilar data to look at the 322 companies in the S&P 500 that had filed statements with federal regulators through April 30. To make comparisons fair, the sample includes only CEOs in place for at least two years. Among the AP’s other findings: • David Simon, CEO of Simon Property, which operates malls around the country, is on track to be the highest-paid in the AP survey, at $137 million. That was almost entirely in stock awards that could eventually be worth $132 million, some of which won’t be redeemable until 2019. The company said it wanted to make sure Simon wasn’t lured to another company. He has been CEO since 1995; his father and uncle are Simon Property’s cofounders. This month, Simon Property’s shareholders rejected Simon’s pay package by a large margin: 73 percent of the votes cast for or against were against. But the company doesn’t appear likely to change the 2011 package. After the shareholder vote, it released a statement saying that “we value our stockholders’ input” and would “take their views into consideration as (the board) reviews compensation plans for our management team.” But it also said that Simon’s per-

Singing the blues over second place in ‘Idol’ competition By ANTHONY McCARTNEY AP Entertainment Writer

LOS ANGELES — Coming in second on “American Idol” may still be a path to superstardom, but it no longer offers guaranteed paychecks worthy of the next pop idol or rock star. Wednesday night’s runnerup, 16-year-old Jessica Sanchez, doesn’t have a definite shot at producing an album and could be paid as little as $30,000 in advances for recording singles, according to the “Idol” contract she and other Season 11 contestants signed earlier this year. The agreement appears to be the first time in “Idol’s” history that producers are not offering the show’s runner-up an album deal that in previous years came with a guaranteed advance of at least $175,000, an

Associated Press review of the Fox show’s contracts reveals. The analysis covers eight of “Idol’s” 11 seasons during which contracts filed for contestants under the age of 18 were available. The contracts were reviewed by judges in accordance with a California law that requires at least 15 percent of a minor entertainer’s earnings be set aside for their benefit once they reach adulthood. The reduced royalty advance covers the period immediately following the show. In addition to recording new music, the series’ winners and finalists are obligated to perform in a concert tour and lend their likeness to a Walt Disney World Resort attraction in Florida. If Sanchez is given an album deal following the show, she will receive the same $175,000 bonus that Lauren Alaina was paid after placing second in the show’s 10th season. But 19 Recordings Inc., which has the option to handle the albums and recordings of Idol contestants

Idol” producer FremantleMedia declined comment. They also have not disclosed which recording deal would be offered to Sanchez. “It makes sense. You can’t continue to offer the same sorts of rewards and incentives when the program was averaging 25 to 30 million (viewers), and (now) the finale is barely breaking 20 million,” said Northwestern University assistant professor Max Dawson, who

for several years after they appear on the show, has replaced a guaranteed album deal for the runner-up with a staggered “Development Period” that requires less music and pays out less in advances. Sanchez could be paid as little as $30,000 if she is asked to perform four single songs, or $60,000 if she records an “EP” of between four and 10 songs. Representatives for 19 Recordings Inc. and “American

teaches a course on reality television. Wednesday’s finale was the lowest-rated final show for “Idol” in its history. “These contracts don’t pay off,” he said, contrasting the long list of “Idol” alumni who have been dropped by record labels with those who have thriving careers. “It seems like the successes that people like Kelly

Clarkson and Carrie Underwood have had are the flukes.” He noted that the recording industry has shifted toward single song sales in recent years, and even established artists are struggling to sell full albums. “I wouldn’t be surprised, quite frankly, if this is the direction they head with the winners,” Dawson said.

STATE OPINION: PENSIONS

Sweet deals tax public’s patience

F YOU HAVE any remaining doubts that the “benefits” associated with “public” universities are totally out of whack, we submit for your sobering consideration the following: • Fired California University of Pennsylvania President Angelo Armenti Jr. likely is headed to court to challenge his dismissal by the State System of Higher Education. Charges and countercharges are flying. But what struck us in particular is the fact that Armenti says his employment contract required that he be notified six months in advance of any firing. What legal beagle in the state system signed off on that idiocy? • Then there’s Penn State football coach Joe Paterno’s “pension.” All manner of rationalization is being employed in defense of the late coach’s $13.4 million pension: “Mr. Paterno was a great guy.” EDITORIAL BOARD

“He was underpaid.” ($1 million annually is “underpaid”?) “Well, he did work for Penn State for 61 years.” “Hey, that’s the system.” Well, “the system,” in this case, the State Employees’ Retirement System, is out of whack. And no matter how great a guy Paterno was, no matter his stature (questioned with the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse scandal) and no matter the length of his service, no college football coach warrants a $13.4 million public pension. Employment in Pennsylvania’s public and “quasi-public” universities is rife with cushy contracts filled with pay, perks and protections that mock taxpayers. It’s an obscenity that must be stopped. And if our “leaders” won’t do it, mark our words, a public that’s had more than enough will. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Greensburg

MALLARD FILLMORE

Early childhood education investment yields great returns A LOT has been written and said about the rate of return on an investment in a college education. Current estimates suggest that the average college-educated person will earn about $1.3 million more during his or her lifetime than a person with a high school education. Society in general also benefits when people seek undergraduate and graduate degrees. College graduates tend to vote more often, participate in community activities on a more regular basis and volunteer to serve others in greater numbers. Because of these and other important factors, investing public funds in a college education makes sense. What about the other end of the spectrum? Most people agree that advanced degrees for our nation’s young adults are a sound investment, but what about the very young? The recent “Attracting, Developing and Maintaining Human Capital” study conducted by the Pew Center on the States shows there is a greater return on investment in early childhood education than from a college degree. From a state’s perspective, the study says there is an increase in earnings per capita. For every dollar spent on early childhood education, the state realizes a return of $2.78 in terms of greater productivity and reduced remedial education over the life of that individual. We know that 90 percent of brain growth occurs by age 5. High-quality early childhood education can channel that growth into productive human development characteristics

While many Pennsylvanians might not be familiar with this program by name, we’ve probably all taken advantage of a great park or open space made possible with support from the Keystone Fund. For example, in Luzerne County the Keystone Fund has supported restoration and protection projects at the Bear Creek Preserve. This park provides many trails for people to hike and is an important habitat for local wildlife. After all of this program’s great successes to save Pennsylvania’s environment, it’s time for concerned citizens to save the Keystone Fund. I hope that people who enjoy our great outdoors will write to elected officials such as state Rep. Karen Boback and state Rep. Tarah Toohil, and tell them not to come

dismal failure. A Philadelphia newspaper report showed the camera intersections having an increased incidence of crashes of 12 percent to 15 percent. The current bills do not require adequate engineering standards, such as adequate all-red intervals and countdown timers to show time until next color light. Adding to this, a bill exists to exempt buses from the citations. If there is such a hazard here, why should buses be allowed to run the lights? The reason is because they cannot stop in time, due to the duration of yellow signals being too brief. The unions should seek to get rid of cameras for all, not only buses. Related to this, we have bills to allow speed cameras in work zones, even though it has been shown that posting speed limits can cause crashes, by obstructing the traffic flow. It is truly astonishing that the state has not been sued over the likely harm from the cameras or the likely abridgment of constitutional rights. Please contact your state elected officials and have all camera enforcement banned. James Sikorski Jr. Wapwallopen

lists minimum requirements to obtain such a letter, including: • Hold a diploma from a college or other institution approved by the Department of Education. • Have six years successful teaching experience, at least three of which were spent in a supervisory or administrative capacity.

• Complete a graduate program in education approved by the state that includes the Pennsylvania school leadership standards. The Times Leader obtained a list of Wilkes-Barre Area administrators from the district and asked the state Department of Education who among that list had superintendent letters of eligibility. Of 21 administrators (excluding the business manager and controller) five have superintendent letters: Four school principals and one central office administrator.

The lone central office staffer with a superintendent letter is current Deputy Superintendent Bernard Prevuznak, who moved into that position several years ago at the recommendation of Namey to assure a smooth transition once Namey retires. Prevuznak is the front-runner to become acting superintendent while the school board decides on a replacement for Namey, but he has said he will “wait and see” before deciding if he wants to apply for the post full time. The principals with superintendent letters of eligibility are

THE TIMES LEADER

Gina Bartoletti at Dodson Elementary, Harold Gabriel at Heights Elementary, Patrick Patte at Coughlin High School and Anthony Schwab at Meyers High School. One principal and two central office administrators have assistant superintendent letters of eligibility: Flood Elementary Principal Marlena Nockley, Secondary District Principal Andrew Kuhl who oversees all secondary schools, and Director of Elementary Education Rochelle Koury, who oversees all elementary schools.

But Namey noted the district has not had assistant superintendents for about two decades. The reason, he added, is job security. Under state law, “assistant superintendents have contracts, like the superintendent, so if the contract expires and they don’t’ renew it, you’re out of a job.” By giving the administrators titles like director or deputy superintendent, they remain tenured employees, and if the position is eliminated, they can move to other jobs in the district if they are appropriately certified, Namey said.

www.timesleader.com

Namey said he doubts many people within the district will apply for his job, in part because of all the work running Luzerne County’s second largest school district entails. “I think they understand what’s involved,” Namey said. “If they do apply, that’s fine. They are all good and qualified people. But I would be surprised if a majority of those who are properly certified for the position apply for it.” Mark Guydish can be reached at 829-7161.

stopped and told he could not get closer. “I believe that was the airplane that dropped the atom bomb,” he said. “I did not realize this until later when I heard that plane landed there.” In January 1946, Klansek was honorably discharged. He took advantage of the GI Bill, graduated from Wilkes College with a degree in economics and stayed enlisted with the Naval Reserves. “I never would have gone to college if it were not for the GI Bill,” he said. Korean War Service In August 1950, Klansek was called to duty to serve on the U.S.S Cape Esperance, a carrier converted to transport airplanes and supplies to troops in Japan, Eniweitok, Philippines and other U.S. Pacific islands. “I was in the Navy, but in World War II, ..I spent maybe a

total of 13 days at sea,” he said. “During the Korean War, I spent a total of 13 days on land.” Living on a ship was not easy. After his work was done, he said he passed the time reading and playing cards. During his two-year tour, he remembers the ship crossing through a series of typhoons. As the large vessel tossed and pitched in seas towering well over the ship’s bridge, those inside were made to sit on the floor to avoid injuries and were reduced to eating crackers and bread, Klansek said. The storms delayed the ship on a return trip from Japan by two and a half days. “It was very bad,” he said. “The ship almost collapsed. Waves were only two feet from flooding the smoke stacks. These were the same storms which sank the freighter, the Pennsylvanian.” Comparing life at home and the support of the nation to the

war effort then and today, he said, “It is not nearly the same country, as a whole, as it was back then. Communities were inspired as a whole to do things to support the country.” Spirit of sacrifice For example, he said, children use to collect aluminum for various drives to conserve metal and other resources for the war effort, he said. Communities would band together to turn off all their lights to seem invisible from the enemy, and food rations were common. Klansek, whose mother, Mary, ran a small grocery store called Klansek’s in Lake Silkworth, recalled the cardboard ice cream lids and how they would cut a slit in them and secure them over the headlights on their car to dim the lights. “Today, people do not know what is going on,” he said.

Spanier sues Penn State over Sandusky emails The Associated Press

STATE COLLEGE — Former Penn State University president Graham Spanier has filed a civil lawsuit to force the school to release emails related to the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. The lawsuit was filed late Fri-

day in Centre County court and concerns an internal investigation, led by ex-FBI chief Louis Freeh, that Penn State is conducting about the scandal. It was first reported by the Centre Daily Times newspaper on its website. Spanier isn’t asking for money in the lawsuit, which claims that he first was told Penn State emails from before 2004 didn’t exist and that he recently learned at least some of those emails have been retrieved but the school refuses to allow him

to see them. Spanier’s lawyers claim that Penn State attorneys were willing to send copies of the emails but allege the attorney general’s office asked the school not to do so. The lawsuit seeks to have a court force the school to give copies of the emails to Spanier so he can be better prepared to testify for the internal investigation. Spanier also claims in the lawsuit that he offered to resign on Nov. 9 and trustees accepted that offer. Previous reports have said

that he was fired or resigned under pressure. Penn State spokeswoman Lisa Powers said Friday the school may not have a copy of the lawsuit and didn’t immediately respond to questions. Spanier’s presidency ended four days after Sandusky was charged with dozens of sexual assault counts. Eight of 10 boys Sandusky is accused of abusing were attacked on campus, prosecutors allege.

Former PSU president wants school to release messages related to child sex scandal.

to an elementary school in 1979. Many of the visitors attended the school as junior school students. But John Gavenonis, 71, of Larksville remembered taking a favorite high school class there. A 1958 graduate of Plymouth High School, he remembered the high school band practiced in the basement of what was then the junior high school. Gavenonis said, “We were the best band in the Valley.” He said the newspapers always mentioned the band’s performance in articles on the sports page. He pointed out to other visitors the small room where 60 band members practiced. No bigger than an average elementary classroom, he said 60 band members practiced there. He pointed outwherethepercussion,brassand woodwind sections sat. Gavenonis said there wasn’t even a storage room for the instruments. “We just put our cases in the corner.” As a trumpet player under band director Abner Millard, Gavenonis’ favorite piece was the Notre Dame Fight Song. He also liked playing Sousa marches. He came to the closing of the school specifically to see the former band hall. “I wanted to see if this room was as small as I remembered it. It’s even smaller!” L William Muchler, 66, of Ashley attended junior high school at the campus. “We liked sports with Coach Mergo.” He remember graduation day from junior high. “On graduation day it was like watching an old movie. The streets were blocked and we marched down Main Street from Academy to Center Avenue.” He said graduation ceremonies were held in the Shawnee Theater. Many students remembered the covered bridge which connected the building to a high school building which was demolished after the Agnes Flood. Muchler said if a student failed a freshman course, the next year the student would have to walk back and forth through the tunnel dur-

ing the school day to retake the failed class. Students also remembered the library was in the junior high building and that as high school students they walked through the tunnel to visit it. Joanie Vitkoski, 64, of Edwardsville wanted to talk about her favorite teacher, Mrs. Clarke, who taught science downstairs in the basement. Vitkoski said Clarke was a thin woman with long, flowing red hair. She remembered Clarke saying to the students who were reluctant to study her subject, “If you’re not interested in science, you don’t have to learn. The only things you have to do in life are to pay taxes and die.” Not all the visitors were former students. Frances Krispin of West Wyoming taught music K-5 at the Elementary Center. “I remember all of the big programs we used to put on. They are all good memories.” Leonard Brozena, 63, of Larksville was both student and teacher at the school. He attended the school as a junior high school student. After graduating from Wilkes University, he returned to the district to teach at Vine Street Elementary. When that school closed, he was part of the first faculty to teach elementary students in the Main Street building in 1979. “I looked at my room. There are a couple of bookcases I brought from Vine Street Elementary. I nailed them to the wall and they’re still there.” He said the most difficult thing about that first year was how to establish routines since the building had never been used as an elementary school before. For some, it was a family affair. Julianne Muchler-Kurkowski, 52, of Crestview, Fla. is visiting the area and came to say goodbye to her former school with some of her family members. She held her one-yearold grandson Alek. Of her grandson she said, “His father, uncle, grandmother, grandfather and greatgrandmother attended this school.” On June 8, the last group of students will walk out of the Main Street Elementary Center. Principal Ray Whalen will lock the school door for the final time. But it’s clear that the memories will remain.

Lehman High School in June 1943, Klansek enlisted in the U.S. Navy. “At this time our armed forces were in a life and death struggle with the enemy, and all of the young men in my high school and community were eager to serve and defend our country,” he said. Klansek did not ship out to boot camp at Sampson, N.Y., until after his 18th birthday, Dec. 7, 1943. He still has a photo of his graduating boot camp class with the signatures of all the men – many of whom were from Luzerne County. He then went to Radioman Operator School at Norton Heights, Conn. and then was assigned to an “amphibious communications unit which was to land behind and support the Marine forces in their effort to capture the islands heading up to Japan.” But once his unit of about 15 men arrived in Hawaii, their unit was dissolved and he was reassigned as a radioman at a Naval Air Station in Honolulu. “I received and sent out coded messages to all ships at sea,” he said. “The messages were coded with a series of five letters and numbers. We used a scramble to code and decipher messages.” The Japanese were trying to bomb the West Coast during this time, he said. “They were also trying to get to the Alaskan islands,” Klansek said. “But the cold weather and fog stopped them.” Klansek said although Hawaii was beautiful, debris from the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor was still visible. Shortly before his tour ended, he remembered walking past a small airfield known as John Rogers Air Field and seeing an unusually large plane. Curious, he walked toward it only to be

Adam Henrique’s overtime goal puts New Jersey in Stanley Cup finals against Los Angeles.

Takacs’ tally gives Dawgs tix to states Berwick wins the final District 2 spring girls soccer championship.

By TOM CANAVAN AP Sports Writer

NEWARK, N.J. — Adam Henrique scored off a wild scramble in front at 1:03 into overtime and the New Jersey Devils defeated the New York Rangers 3-2 in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals to advance to their first Stanley Cup final since 2003. The Devils will face the Los Angeles Kings in a series that will start on Wednesday here. It’s a remarkable comeback for a proud team, with three Stanley Cup titles, that missed the playoffs last season for the first DEVILS time since 1996. Henrique’s series winner came after Henrik RANGERS Lundqvist stopped Ilya Kovalchuk twice and Alexei Ponikarovsky. The last shot lay in the crease and Henrique, a rookie, tapped it home. Ryan Carter and Kovalchuk also scored for the Devils, who blew a 2-0 first period lead. Ruslan Fedotenko and Ryan Callahan tallied for top-seeded New York, which had a good flurry just before New Jersey scored. Henrique, who is nominated for the Calder Trophy — given to the NHL’s top rookie — skated away from the crease and jumped against the end boards in the corner as his teammates jumped off the bench and mobbed him. The six Rangers on the ice just stayed down in disbelief and frustration. This was very much like Game 5, which the Devils won 5-3. New York carried the play after the first period and had a 35-29 edge in shots. But when it came time for a game-deciding play to be made, it was a Devil who made it. Henrique, who scored the game winner in Game 7 of the Devils’ opening-round series against Florida, overcame injury to score this one. He seemed to take a stick from Brian Boyle in the groin area late in the third and had to leave the ice. He felt no pain after the game winner. All the Rangers could do was bow their heads and then line up for the traditional handshake after losing to their cross-rival rivals in a series that was close. Ageless Martin Brodeur, 40, kept the Devils alive in the third. He stopped a power-play shot by Brad Richards, made a save on Artem Anisimov between the circles and used his stick to deflect a pass from the boards by Carl Hagelin in the final minute just before it got to Marian Gaborik on the edge of the crease. Lundqvist’s best stop in the third was on Dainius Zubrus on a shot from behind the circles.

Tonight’s focus is on the co-featured $25,000 Open Trot, where invader Sevruga looks very stout. The four-year old gelded son of SJ’s Caviar has been on a tear since joining the barn of Julie Miller, winning three of his four starts this season. His most recent start at Harrah’s Philadelphia was certainly his most impressive to date. In a $30,000 Open Trot, Sevruga took the lead just past the opening quarter and never looked back, drawing away to win easily in a career best mile of 1:52.1, that’s just a tick off of the world-record for four-year old trotters.

Philadelphia Phillies center fielder Shane Victorino, left, and right fielder Hunter Pence collide as they chase a fly ball hit for a single by the St. Louis Cardinals’ Matt Adams during the fourth inning of a baseball game Friday in St. Louis.

Pence’s home run lifts Phils in 10th ST. LOUIS — Hunter Pence hit a two-run homer in the 10th inning off Jason Motte and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-3 on Friday night. The Phillies won their third in a row after surviving a fourth inning in which Pence, the right fielder, and Shane Victorino, the center fielder, lost balls in the lights. The winning runs came too late for Cliff Lee, a 17-game winner last season still seeking his first win of 2012. Juan Pierre singled to start the 10th against Motte, working his second inning. Mets 6, Padres 1

NEW YORK — Dillon Gee struck out a career-high nine, won consecutive starts for the first time in nearly a year, and doubled and scored the goahead run Friday night to lead the New York Mets over the San Diego Padres 6-1. Getting help from a fine catch and throw from left fielder Mike Baxter that led to an inning-ending double play in the first, Gee (4-3) allowed one run and four hits in seven innings. Combined with Sunday’s 6-5 win at Toronto, Gee came away with wins in two straight outings for the first time since he reeled off five in a row from May 13 to June 10 last year. Pirates 1, Cubs 0

PITTSBURGH — A.J. Burnett and four relievers worked out of trouble all game and the Pittsburgh Pirates sent the Chicago Cubs to their 10th

straight loss with a victory. Burnett (3-2) gave up six hits, struck out six and walked two over 5 1-3 innings and the National League’s best bullpen made it stand up as the Pirates extended Chicago starter Ryan Dempster’s misery. Marlins 7, Giants 6

MIAMI — Chris Coghlan snapped out of a season-long slump with a tiebreaking threerun homer off Tim Lincecum in the sixth inning, and the Miami Marlins rallied past the San Francisco Giants. Coghlan, who has shuttled between the Marlins and the minors since winning the NL Rookie of the Year award in 2009, was batting .104 when he hit his first home run since last June 11. ATLANTA — Rick Ankiel hit a two-run triple in Washington’s four-run first inning, Ryan Zimmerman padded the lead with a three-run double in the seventh and the first-place Nationals beat the slumping Atlanta Braves. Rockies 6, Reds 3

CINCINNATI — Todd Helton homered and drove in three runs, leading the Colorado Rockies to a victory that ended the Cincinnati Reds’ longest winning streak of the season at six games. Helton had a two-run homer — his first since April 29 — and a run-scoring single off Johnny Cueto (5-2), who gave up a career-high 11 hits in only 4 2-3 innings.

Hammel sharp as O’s breeze past Royals BALTIMORE — Jason Hammel pitched six shutout innings, Chris Davis homered and drove in three runs, and the Baltimore Orioles cruised past the Kansas City Royals 8-2 on Friday night. Adam Jones and J.J. Hardy had two RBIs apiece for the Orioles, now 28-1 when hitting a home run. Davis hit Baltimore’s league-leading 70th homer of the season in the seventh inning with a man on to make it 8-0. Rays 7, Red Sox 4

BOSTON — Matt Joyce hit his second grand slam in six games and Elliot Johnson had a two-run shot to lift the Tampa Bay Rays to their third straight win in a game that saw the benches empty in the eighth inning. Carlos Pena, inserted into the leadoff spot after a miserable slump, added a solo homer for the Rays. Adrian Gonzalez had an RBI double for Boston, which lost for just the fourth time in 14 games. White Sox 9, Indians 3

CHICAGO — Adam Dunn hit his 15th homer, A.J. Pierzynski and Dayan Viciedo

He finished his career with 1,139. 1929 — Pinch-hitters Pat Crawford of the Giants and Les Bell of the Boston Braves hit grand slams in New York’s 15-9 victory. 1930 — Joe Sewell of the Cleveland Indians, who fanned only three times in 353 at-bats during the season, was struck out twice in the same game by Pat Caraway of the White Sox. 1937 — Billy Sullivan and Bruce Campbell appeared for the Cleveland Indians as pinch hitters. Each hit a home run, making this the first time two American League pinch hitters hit home runs in the same game. The Indians beat the Athletics, 8-6. 1956 — Cincinnati Reds pitchers John Klippstein, Hershell Freeman and Joe Black combined for 9 2-3 hitless innings, but lost 2-1 in 11 innings to the Philadelphia Phillies. 1959 — Harvey Haddix of Pittsburgh pitched 12 perfect innings before losing to Milwaukee 1-0 in the 13th on an error, a sacrifice and Joe Adcock’s double.

Cust-om HR lifts Yanks to win in 10 The Times Leader staff

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Another rough outing by Dellin Betances will go down as a no-decision. The right-hander struggled once again for the Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre Yankees lasting just two innings on Friday against Buffalo allowing four runs, four walks, a wild pitch, a hit batter, a home run and a balk in the outing. But Jack Cust slammed a walkoff, solo home run in the bottom of the10th to help the Yankees defeat the Bisons 8-7 in a wild game at Coca Cola Field. The game consisted of 11 pitchers being used, five combined errors and nine walks issued by Yankees pitching. While Betances, the No. 2 prospect in the organization according to MLB.com, was struggling, Bisons starter Jeurys Familia didn’t fare much better, also lasting just two innings. After Buffalo got to Betances for three runs in the top of the first, the Yankees answered with a two-run single by Cust (3-for-5, 3 RBI) for a 3-2 Bisons score after the first. Buffalo scored another in the top of the second. But again, SWB wasn’t standing pat and plated a pair of runs in the next half inning on a sacrifice fly and a groundout to even the score at 4-4 after two innings. Things settled down a bit in the third, but Buffalo added single runs in the fourth and fifth innings to retake the lead at 6-4. A Cole Garner RBI-single in the sixth pulled the Yankees to 6-5.

Warriors slide into district’s 3A final

Rematch undoing of Sem’s Parkhurst

single from Wolfgang. Two batters later, Wolfgang came home on a ball hit by Drew Bednarski that the Trojans mishandled. Bednarski would later make it 3-0 in the bottom of the third when she scored on a single from Lindsay Carey. North Pocono cut into the lead in the top of the fourth, thanks to back-to-back RBI from Maria Day and Lauren Antosh that made it 3-2. Wyoming Area made it 4-2 in the bottom of the fifth when Lexi Coolbaugh hit a ball deep into right field that scored Bednarski from first while Coolbaugh raced into third. Coolbaugh never made home, however, as the Trojans’ Antosh ended the inning two batters later on a pop up. “(Wyoming Area) hit the ball hard all day, we knew we we’re going to be in for a fight,” North Pocono coach Michael LaFave said. “I’m proud of the way they fought back, getting all the way back into it.” The Trojans cut the lead to one in the top of the sixth when a triple from Kaitlyn Pittsman scored a run. Pittsman came around to tie the game at 4-4 on a single from Day. Day finished the game 2-for-2 with 2 RBI for North Pocono, pacing the offense along with Pittsman, who went 2-for-4 and scored twice.

WEST PITTSTON – Chalk up one more moment for the old adage that a home run isn’t needed when a single will do. After battling back and forth with North Pocono during a District 2 Class 3A softball semifinal, Wyoming Area’s Alex Holtz hit a perfectly placed single that scored Nicole Turner and gave the Warriors a 5-4 victory at home in eight innings. With the win, the tournament’s No. 2 seed Wyoming Area (11-4) advances to the final against No.1 seed Valley View, a 10-1 winner over No. 12 seed Holy Redeemer. That game will be played Wednesday at a site and time to be determined. No. 3 seeded North Pocono’s (14-1) season comes to close. “It’s definitely exciting,” said Holtz of her game-winning hit. “I knew we had some speed on the bases and my idea was just to try and get the ball in play.” With one out in bottom of the frame, Holtz had Turner on second – who had drawn a walk and advanced on Emily Wolfgang’s single – and Wolfgang on first. Holtz’s curving shot dropped in front of North Pocono’s Olivia Heffinger, who got to the ball as Turner was rounding third. However, the throw to home never made it there as Turner slid in well ahead of the play before be- Wyoming Area 5, North Pocono 4, 8 inn. ing mobbed by her teammates.

Dufner has 2-stroke lead at Colonial The Associated Press

FORT WORTH, Texas — Jason Dufner lists Ben Hogan as his hero. At Hogan’s Alley, Dufner had the lead halfway through the Colonial with a chance for a Texas two-step that only Hogan has accomplished. Dufner had a bogey-free 6-under 64 on another windy day Friday to reach 11-under 129. A week after winning the Byron Nelson Championship, Dufner had a two-stroke lead over Zach Johnson — the 2010 winner who shot a 67. The only player to win both

PGA Tour events in the DallasFort Worth market in the same year was Hogan in 1946. Johnson, who had an opening bogey-free 64, started the second round eagle-birdie-bogey. Then there was a four-hole stretch on the back nine when he alternated birdies and bogeys twice. Van Pelt (64) and Tommy Gainey (67) were tied for third at 133, a stroke better than Tom Gillis (69). Defending Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial champion David Toms shot a 71 and missed the cut at 5-over 145.

championship game at Wilkes on Wednesday. The winner of that game goes on to the state tournament. “We’re a very aggressive team,” Lakeland coach Brian Wagner said. “Our offense started right off the bat. We worked on that the last couple of weeks. When its playoff time, you’ve got to get that extra base.” Dana Prudente and Shelby Gallis had doubles in the first inning for Lakeland. Prudente drove in one run and Gallis knocked in two to give the Chiefs a 3-0 lead just one out into the game. Morgan Sederovitz led off the second with a triple to right-center and scored on a sacrifice bunt by No. 9 batter Katie Holt. After that, the Hawkeyes were Lakeland’s equal, though the damage was done. In the second inning, Hanover Area’s Katie Pelak made a reaching backhanded grab of a line drive at shortstop. Nicole Trevethan made a diving onehanded catch on a fly ball in center. Ashley Evans closed the third inning with an over-the-shoulder catch on a ball in deep left field. “Our defense played outstanding. We’ve shifted positions all year round,” Thomas said of an alignment that was without shortstop Caitlyn Bogart, who broke her thumb during Wednesday’s game. But Hanover Area never really solved Lakeland pitcher Alissa Steier, who picked up her 11 strikeouts in bunches. “She moved the ball around a lot and kept them off-balance,” Wagner said. “She worked the corners and she worked around (to) the offensive weaknesses of the batters. “After the double down the right-field line (to Brittany McNair), she adjusted her pitches. Alissa and our catcher Lauren (Terpak) are a great tandem. They work well together.” The Hawkeyes managed just four hits and threatened once.

“They came out swinging the first two innings. Danielle (Tuzinski) threw a great game. They were just straight-out hits. They hit her pitches, and they hit them into open spaces. We hit balls right at them.” Tami Thomas Hanover Area coach

Back-to-back doubles by McNair (to right) and Tuzinski (to left center) in the fourth inning could have meant a run, but McNair was thrown out trying for a triple. “I sent her to third. That’s on me,” Thomas said. “We were down and I figured why not take a chance? But I misjudged the ball. It was a nice hit by her. We would have scored a run.” Tuzinski had stretches where she retired six straight and five straight, and she finished with six strikeouts. She allowed just two hits after the second inning and did not allow another runner past second base. She is one of nine seniors on the Hanover Area roster. “Well, our junior high team did pretty well,” Thomas said. “I’m going to miss this group. I’ve been coaching most of them since seventh grade. This is a special crew.” Lakeland 4, Hanover Area 0 District 2 Class 2A semifinal Lakeland

HERSHEY – A week ago, George Parkhurst took the court at the Hershey Racquet Club and was dealt his first loss of the season to Wyomissing’s Ricardo Saad in the finals of the PIAA Class 2A Team Championships. On Friday, the Wyoming Seminary senior got to face Saad again; this time in the PIAA Class 2A Singles Championships at the same location with a state medal on the line. Unfortunately for the Siena recruit, the result was similar. Parkhurst dropped the quarterfinal match to Saad 6-0, 6-1on Friday and was eliminated from the competition. Saad is guaranteed a medal since the top four in the state all earn the honor. Last weekend, Parkhurst dropped a 6-3, 6-1decision to the junior after being fatigued from

al today in the girls 2A javelin throw, where she’s seeded ninth. Franzosa was actually a fifth seed, and her finals run began with a bummer when her first throw sailed right of the boundary line for no score. “First one she ever threw out of bounds. Ever,” Hazleton Area throwing coach Nick Gaudiano said. “She was so excited, she never turned her hips. We corrected that right away.” “I have no idea what happened there,” Franzosa said. Those who know Franzosa’s competitiveness had a pretty good idea what would happen next. She followed that early mishap with her finest throw of the day, a beauty that sailed straight down the middle of the field and landed more than 135 feet away. That wasn’t quite as good as her District 2-winning throw of 135-10, but it was good enough to best a state field that included top seeded Olivia Hassler of Parkland, whose District 11 championship throw sailed 149 feet, 10 inches. But on Friday, she only managed 130 feet and settled for fourth place. That was one spot above Alguire, an 18th seed who earned a fifth-place medal with a distance of 129-3. “It’s my personal record, so I’m happy with it,” Alguire said. “I just had confidence in myself and just gave it all I’ve got.” That strategy worked for Franzosa. She struggled early and slipped late -- which resulted in a final throw of 119-9 and left Franzosa driving her javelin into the grass just before she entered the

a long match earlier in the day. On Friday, Parkhurst wasn’t in a long match before meeting Saad. In his first outing of the day, he dispatched Elk County Catholic’s Ben Wortman 6-0, 6-0 to advance to the quarterfinals. In Class 2A doubles, the District 2 champion of Will Cognetti and Walker Temperton from Scranton Prep won twice on Friday to advance to the semifinals of the bracket. The Cavaliers team only dropped two total games in four sets to reach the semis. Abington Heights’ Nathan Engh dropped his first round match in straight sets in Class 3A and was eliminated. The D2 3A doubles championship team of Andrew Neidig and Joe Hunt from Delaware Valley was also ousted in the first round in straight sets.

warmup tent for the last time. But she could have just as easily been using it to hammer home an exclamation point. “We had a magical season,” Hazleton Area coach Mark Otterbine said. “This just caps it.” In between her first and final attempts, Franzosa was steady and consistent, hovering between 126 and just under 136 feet. “I did a couple weird things today,” Franzosa said. It turned into a wild time for her, though. “I was letting it all fly,” Franzosa said. That strategy worked well for Dennis, who added nearly four feet to his District 2 tournament throw of 48-9.5 to earn eighth place at states with a distance of 52-5. “I threw terrible at districts, that’s all it was,” Dennis said as he proudly walked off the medal stand. “I knew coming into it I had a chance of getting up here. It feels pretty special.” Redeemer’s two 2A girls medalists shared special moments, as well. Wignot moved up a slot from her No. 8 seed by slightly increasing her distance to land at 17-0.25. But the day belonged to Franzosa, who became the first Hazleton Area girl to land on top of the state’s track and field medal stand. “She devoted herself to this since she joined the team in ninth grade,” Otterbine said. “She’s played volleyball, basketball. She made a decision to dedicate herself soley to this goal. You want to see your son meet up with someone like Julia - just (because of) her personality, her dedication. “I’ve never met someone with as much dedication as her.”

DISTRICT 2 BASEBALL

Scranton ends Hazleton Area’s season … again By JUSTIN BEITER For The Times Leader

HAZLETON — On Friday afternoon, the third time wasn’t a charm for Hazleton Area. For the third consecutive year, the Cougars’ season came to an end at the hands of Scranton with a 5-2 loss in the District 2-4 Class 4A semifinals. “It was a good ballgame,” an emotional Hazleton Area coach Gino Cara said. “Two very, very good teams. One of these years, we’re going to get Scranton back. They’re a great team. They’re well-coached, and we knew that coming in.” Cara will look back at a fateful top of the second inning as his

team’s undoing. The Knights were able to produce four unearned runs with two outs and never looked back, ending the second-seeded Cougars’ season at 9-7. Two walks sandwiched around a throwing error on a sacrifice bunt attempt loaded the bases for Scranton with nobody out. Hazleton Area starter Anthony Zaloga appeared as if he might wiggle out of the jam when he fanned back-to-back hitters, but it wasn’t to be. Jake McCarthy and Tanner Schmidt came through with consecutive two-run singles to give the Knights a 4-0 lead. The early cushion proved to be

enough for Scranton’s ace pitcher Joe McCarthy. The University of Virginia-bound senior wasn’t dominant but was consistent as he struck out seven and walked one in his five-plus innings of work. Hazleton Area was able to cut the lead to 4-1in the bottom of the fourth when Kyle Klein scored on an RBI groundout. After Scranton answered in the top of the fifth with a run of its own on a wild pitch, the Cougars tried to make one last push to save their season. Evan Vigna led off the bottom of the fifth with a single that was followed by a walk to A.J. Greco. After a strikeout, leadoff Tyler

Rubasky stroked a single to left field to load the bases. With two outs, Carl Cara reached on an infield single that cut the lead to 5-2. But that was as close as the Cougars would get. T.J. Chirico hit a ball up the middle that Scranton shortstop Jon Palochko made a nice play on, stopping the potential rally with a fielder’s choice. “I thought the ball was through,” Gino Cara said of Chirico’s grounder. “(Palochko) made a good play. It wasn’t an extraordinarily difficult play, but I thought it was through the middle. That would have put us back in the hunt. “(Scranton) got the opportuni-

ties and capitalized. We didn’t.” After Hazleton Area put its leadoff hitter on in the sixth, the Knights turned to hard-throwing D.J. Navoczynski to seal the deal. The closer came in and retired all six hitters that he faced, adding two strikeouts to earn the save. “McCarthy threw a great game,” Gino Cara said. “Navoczynski came in and he threw well. He threw hard. Nothing like we haven’t seen before, but he threw well.” Third-seeded Scranton will now face No. 1 Wyoming Valley West on Wednesday in the district championship game. “These guys can beat anybody. There’s no doubt about it,” Gino

Cara said of the Knights. “Valley West has two top-notch pitchers, and so does Scranton.” Scranton 5, Hazleton Area 2 District 2-4 Class 4A semifinal Scranton

MONTROSE -- Kayley Schinski and Katie Wolfe each hit RBI singles in the sixth inning to provide all the offense Nanticoke needed in a 2-0 victory over Montrose in a District 2 Class 2A semifinal contest Friday. With the win, the Trojans will meet Lakeland in the final, set for Wednesday, 4:30 p.m. at Wilkes University. Wolfe finished 2-for-3 with an RBI to pace the offense while Hannah Rubasky kept Montrose’s bats quiet. Rubasky pitched all seven innings and allowed just three hits to earn the shutout.

Syracuse knocks off Florida in lacrosse

STONY BROOK, N.Y. (AP) — Sarah Holden scored her fourth goal with 2:02 remaining in double overtime and No. 4 Syracuse upset top-seeded Florida on Friday, 14-13, to advance to its first women’s lacrosse national championship game. Holden netted the winner by making a move from up top and buried a bounce shot by Florida goaltender Misty Meagher.

SLAMMING Continued from Page 1B

Valley West beat Scranton in the program’s last trip to the district final back in 2009. The Spartans bowed out in the state quarterfinals that season and dropped their first postseason game in each of the past two years. Ending that modest skid gave Friday’s win – and a return to the title game – a little extra significance. “Yeah, it means more,” Milius said. “It feels good to come back. … We had two decent years (in 2009 and 2010), but not good enough for us. We expect more out of these kids.” And they delivered against De-

laware Valley. The fourth-seeded Warriors took a surprising 2-0 lead in the top of the first, making some solid contact against Alexander. But the Old Dominion recruit struck out the side in the second and would allow only three hits and an unearned run after that. “I was leaving the ball up. I was kind of dragging through a little bit,” Alexander said. “My ball was flat. I feel like I didn’t warm up as much as I should have. … Basically from the third on, once I got to the lineup the second time around, I was able to pitch to them more effectively.” Of course, the bats needed to come through as well. Matt Zielen got things going with an RBI single in the third and the Spartans followed it up by loading the bases with two outs.

That brought up Leonard. The team’s leading hitter during league play came through again, clearing the bases with a double that put Valley West up 4-2. The hit seemed to loosen up a Spartans squad that hadn’t played since May 16. “I think so,” Milius said. “It had the kids believing that they’re there. They just had to close the door on it. They responded well.” Delaware Valley (10-6) got a run back in the fourth on a perfect suicide squeeze, but Zielen answered with a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the frame. Stephen Dosiak added a sac fly of his own in the sixth and Pechulis put the game away two batters later. The Spartans third baseman sent a 2-2 pitch well over the left-center fence for a two-run homer that put an exclamation

tually supposed to go on a New York trip today, but I stayed home and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.” Berwick (12-3-1) will move to the state tournament, playing the District 3 sixth seed on Wednesday at Lake-Lehman High School. The game was moved from Wilkes University to accommodate a state lacrosse doubleheader. The starting time hasn’t been set. Dallas (13-3) was attempting to win a record seventh district championship. Instead, the Mountaineers completed the last spring soccer season, as all girls soccer moves to the fall in a few months, tied with Coughlin for the most titles. “Hats off to Berwick,” Dallas coach Chris Scharff said. “They were good enough to win the championship. It’s not like we lost a team that was way below us. Obviously, I thought like everybody else we had more talent than everyone else. I think it showed in our play. It didn’t show in the result, but it showed in our play.” Davenport started the first

point on the victory. “It’s great,” Alexander said. “Out of anyone, I think our guys want it the most. We could have folded over (early), but we’re not that type of team. … We never give up.” Wyoming Valley West 8, Delaware Valley 3 District 2-4 Class 4A semifinal Delaware Valley Wyoming Valley West ab r h bi ab r h bi Rivera ss 4 1 2 0 Dosiak ss 2 0 1 1 Quinn lf 2 0 1 0 Zielen cf 2 2 1 2 Barbaro pr 0 0 0 0 Pechulis 3b 3 1 1 2 Cerberville p 2 1 1 1 Alexander p 3 1 2 0 Portugal rf 3 0 0 1 Hogan lf 3 1 1 0 Addvensky cf 3 1 0 0 Leonard 2b 2 0 1 3 Knesnik 2b 2 0 0 0 Flaherty rf 0 0 0 0 McIntyre 1b 3 0 2 1 Stayer dh 3 0 0 0 Stauffer 3b 3 0 0 0 EMcCue 1b 2 0 1 0 Clark c 2 0 0 0 CMcCue pr 0 1 0 0 Hupfer ph 1 0 0 0 Sabecky pr 0 1 0 0 Murray 1b 0 0 0 0 Harrison c 1 1 1 0 Totals 25 3 6 3 Totals 21 8 9 8 Delaware Valley ...................... 200 100 0 — 3 Wyoming Valley West ........... 004 103 x — 8 2B – Quinn, Leonard; HR – Pechulis IP H R ER BB SO Delaware Valley Cerberville (L, 0-1) .. 6.0 9 8 8 5 4 Wyo.

scoring play of the game, sending a 25-yard direct kick toward the right post. Bri Floryshak headed it toward the goal and Takacs emerged from a group of players to score. What proved to be the gamewinner came 15 minutes later. Karleigh Hartman sent Floryshak on a run down the right side. Floryshak angled inside the penalty area and got the ball close to the goal. Dallas keeper Gabby Oliveri got a hand on the grounder, but Davenport was there to pop it in. The two-goal deficit did little to deflate Dallas. The Mountaineers moved within 2-1 with 16 minutes to play when Ashley

Dunbar scored on a right crossing pass from Courtney Wagner. Two minutes later, Talia Szatkowski sent a pass to Dunbar, who banged off Berwick fullback Kelly Sheptock a few times in the penalty area before the ball ended up rolling to keeper Sarah Wilczynski. “She’s the best defender in the league. She has been for three years,” Berwick coach Paul DiPippa said of Sheptock. “She’s very determined back there. She can do it all.” Dallas standout midfielder Colleen McDonald, who missed the last seven games with a left knee injury and wasn’t expected to play, challenged twice with

long shots. Wilczynski made the save both times. “They play a tough game always,” Wilczynski said. “It’s never done until the buzzer is up.” Dallas had won in its last six trips to the championship game. Its only loss previously came in 1993 in a 2-1 setback to Bishop Hoban.

last pieces of the government’s case in its effort to prove that the pitcher lied to Congress in 2008 when he denied using performance-enhancing substances. Under cross-examination, Clemens’ lawyer tried to poke holes in the physical evidence. He got the expert to acknowledge there were “hundreds of thousands” of white males in the United States who could be a match for the scant amount of DNA found on the needle, and that it’s “conceivable” the cotton balls could have been contaminated by beer and saliva. Prosecutors had hoped to wrap up their case heading into the long holiday weekend as the trial reached the end of its sixth week, but the DNA expert’s testimony took much longer than expected. U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton then ended the session a halfhour early when one of the jurors learned that her mother had died. The judge said he doesn’t expect the juror, a woman who works in law enforcement with the local public transportation authority, to return. Two jurors have previously been dismissed for sleeping, and another departure would leave only one alternate in a trial expected to last at least two more weeks. The government’s key witness, longtime Clemens strength coach Brian McNamee, says he injected Clemens with steroids in 1998, 2000 and 2001 and with human growth hormone in 2000.

With his trainer facing suspension, I’ll Have Another runs a mile during rainy prep. The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Triple Crown hopeful I’ll Have Another took another tour around Belmont Park on a rainy Friday, this time galloping a mile under exercise rider Humberto Gomez. After two days of 11⁄2-mile jogs, the Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner UP NEXT picked up Belmont the pace as Stakes he prepares 5 p.m. June 9 for the BelNBC mont Stakes on June 9, when he will attempt to become thoroughbred racing’s first Triple Crown champion in 34 years. I’ll Have Another was accompanied by his stable pony, Lava Man, as he entered the track with steady rain falling. His ears were pricked forward as the chestnut colt galloped through the stretch before being pulled up on the turn. “He was a little hard to pull up,” Gomez said. “He felt really good. We’re happy because he came out of the last race very good. He handled the track very, very well.” Trainer Doug O’Neill, who returned to California after the Preakness, is scheduled to arrive at Belmont on Sunday. His assistant, Jack Sisterson, has been overseeing the colt this week. “He looked super,” Sisterson said. “One thing we were looking to see how he got over the track, stride-wise, and he looked fantastic. The rider said he felt good, and he’s happy, so we’re happy.” O’Neill was suspended for 45 days by the California Horse Racing Board on Thursday for exceeding the approved limit for total carbon dioxide in one of his horses. The suspension will not begin before July 1, so O’Neill will be able to saddle I’ll Have Another when the colt tries to join the likes of Secretariat, Citation and Affirmed as the 12th Triple Crown winner. There could be as many as 11 challengers: Alpha, Atigun, Dullahan, Five Sixteen, Guyana Star Dweej, Optimizer, Paynter, Ravelo’s Boy, Street Life, Union Rags and Unstoppable U.

TV COVERAGE

PARIS — Between bites of some “frites” at the players’ restaurant, Oracene Price smiled at the thought of being back at the French Open with her daughters, Serena and Venus Williams. The family wasn’t at Roland Garros a year ago, making it the first Grand Slam tournament since 2003 without either Williams. Serena was still working her way back from a series of health scares, including two foot operations and blood clots. Venus revealed in August she’d been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that causes fatigue. Now they’ve returned. “I’m happy about it. They’re happy about it,” Price said Friday. “Serena’s thanking God that she’s able to play at all. And so is Venus, with her illness; it’s still there. They’re doing the best they can do.” Which tends to be pretty good, of course. Both have been ranked No. 1. Serena’s 13 Grand Slam titles are by far the most among active women; Venus comes next with seven. None of the other entrants in the French Open, which begins Sunday, owns more career Grand Slam match wins than Serena’s 211 or Venus’ 210. And it’s certainly tough to match Serena’s self-confidence on a tennis court. When it was pointed out to her Friday that five women divvied up the past five Grand Slam titles — Kim Clijsters at the 2011 Australian Open, followed by Li Na at the French Open, Petra Kvitova at Wimbledon, Sam Stosur at the U.S. Open, and current No. 1 Victoria Azarenka at January’s Australian Open — Serena needed only a second or two to formulate a response. “Hopefully,” she said, “it will be six this time — with me.” She’s 17-0 on clay this season and among the favorites heading into the French Open, which she won in 2002. What would a second title, a decade later, mean to her? “It would be really intense and really crazy,” Serena said. “I mean, obviously

Pierce: ‘There’s no tomorrow’ for Sixers, Celtics By JIMMY GOLEN AP Sports Writer

WALTHAM, Mass. — Kevin Garnett won’t be posting any comments from the 76ers owners on his mental bulletin board. The Philadelphia fans won’t be getting all riled up over comments deriding their loyalty. “It’s Game 7. There’s no tomorrow,” Celtics captain Paul Pierce said before practice on Friday. “If this is not the most important thing to you right now, there is no way to motivate you as a basketball player.” The Celtics and Sixers will play Saturday night for a spot in the Eastern Conference finals, where one of them will face the Miami Heat for the right to play for the NBA title. The 76ers forced the series to a decisive game by beating Boston 82-75 on Wednesday, keeping alive a surprising run that started when they knocked out top-seeded Chicago in the first round. “I think they’re excited about the chance to go in there and have this Game 7 and see what we can do,” Philadelphia coach Doug Collins said. “I don’t think we have any fear. I haven’t felt that in our guys at all. When we have played poorly, it’s not out of being fearful. I think sometimes we don’t execute well. That to me has nothing to do with whether or not the guys believe they can do it.” The Sixers have not been to a Game 7 since 2001, and Collins said he was relying on the energy of a young team that has just one 30-year-old, Elton Brand,

getting significant playing time. The Celtics, who have three in the starting lineup alone, are 3-2 in seventh games since the new Big Three was assembled in 2007. Brand said his younger teammates are ready. Philadelphia point guard Jrue Holiday, who called Game 6 the “end of the world,” said this would be “The End of the World II.” “They’re not scared of the moment at all, which is really good for our team,” Brand said. “Some of the older guys are saying, ‘Hey, we don’t get this opportunity too many times. So let’s try to win this game.”’ That’s also the mood in Boston, where they are gearing up for the last run of the new Big Three. Pierce is under contract, but Garnett and Ray Allen are free agents at the end of the season. Still, Garnett wasn’t manufacturing anything to motivate himself for the game, like he did for the finale against Atlanta when he fixated on comments by a Hawks owner calling him a dirty player. (He then fed the Sixers bulletin board material this week when he said they had fair-weather fans.) Allen said he wasn’t thinking — yet — about the possibility it could be his last game in a Boston uniform. “We’ve been so fortunate to do what

Knicks give Woodson multiyear extension NEW YORK — Mike Woodson will return as New York Knicks coach after leading them to their first playoff victory in 11 years. The Knicks removed the interim tag Friday and announced they had given Woodson a multiyear contract extension, rewarding him for a terrific finish to what had been a turbulent season. Woodson led the Knicks to an 18-6 record after replacing Mike D’Antoni on March 14. The Knicks lost 4-1 to Miami in the first round, snapping an NBA-record, 13-game postseason losing streak by winning Game 4 for their first victory since 2001. General manager Glen Grunwald says in a statement that Woodson “has the respect of every person in this organization.” Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.

we’ve done here,” he said. “It seems like we’ve been ruled out so many times before, so many years before. It’s just another opportunity to go out and be who we are, so we’re not worried about what’s beyond tomorrow. We’re worried about more about what we have in the present day.” The Celtics will be without guard Avery Bradley, who also missed Games 5 and 6. Rivers said Friday that Bradley will miss the rest of the season after having surgery on a left shoulder that frequently popped out of its socket during the regular season and playoffs.

there are several people here that want to win. I think I’m one of those people.” Price said a championship at Roland Garros “would be Serena Williams huge” for Serena, because it would make clear that “it doesn’t look like she’s ready to quit” at 30 years old. Asked whether her younger daughter is ready to get her name etched on another Grand Slam trophy, Price chuckled. “For sure,” she said. “You know Serena. She’s got to be on the list at least once a year, right?” One challenging step along the way over the next two weeks could come in the quarterfinals, where Serena might have to face three-time major champion Maria Sharapova, who is seeded second and also a popular pick. “She’s such an experienced player that has been under so many different circumstances and achieved so much in her career,” Sharapova said. “When she’s fit, she’s extremely strong on the court and hits a very powerful ball. That makes her very dangerous.” That sounds like a rather fair scouting report for Sharapova, too, even on clay these days. Having once described her movement on the slow red surface as something akin to a “cow on ice,” the Russian can get around well on the stuff. “I’m much more comfortable on this surface. Even though I don’t play too many tournaments on it throughout the year, I feel like with every year that has come, and the clay-court season that arrives, I feel physically stronger,” Sharapova said. “That’s definitely helped me in the recovery process, as well. I’m enjoying it a bit more. Before, I felt like in matches I was saving myself a little bit because I didn’t always believe that physically I could play seven matches in difficult, heavy conditions in Europe.” She’s coming off her second consecutive title on clay at the Italian Open, where she beat Li in the final Sunday.

Senate calls on bank head

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is being asked to appear before a Senate panel next month to answer questions about the bank’s $2 billion-plus trading loss. The Senate Banking Committee has scheduled a June 7 hearing for Dimon to testify. The hearing is one day after federal regulators appear before the panel on the topic. Dimon has told the committee through a spokesman that he will testify. He has called the misstep “a black mark.” The loss has revived Democrats’ push for stricter oversight of Wall Street banks under the 2010 regulatory overhaul. The Securities and Exchange Commission is reviewing what JPMorgan told investors about its finances and the risks it took weeks before suffering the loss.

By ANDREW TANGEL Los Angeles Times

NEW YORK — Facebook Inc.’s bungled stock-market debut made it clear that big money still rules Wall Street. But this time, the small money got a look at how Wall Street really works — and that could spell trouble for the financial industry. Millions of small investors have trimmed their investments in stocks after seeing their 401(k) accounts pulverized by the market plunge in 2008-09. The May 2010 flash crash — in which $1 trillion briefly vanished from the stock market — served as another flashing yellow caution sign. Facebook, with its worldwide popularity, was seen as a chance to rekindle popular interest in stocks when its shares began trading publicly last week. Then the stock flopped. Investor enthusiasm was expected to be redhot, but many backed away amid trading glitches on the Nasdaq, widespread news reports of insider selling, and nagging questions about the company’s future prospects. In the aftermath, it also became clear that big investors and wealthy clients had been warned the company’s financial outlook had weakened. Instead of rekindling interest in stocks, Facebook’s debut fueled longrunning concerns about how the stock market works. “This has proved the game is rigged,” said Charles Geisst, a finance professor and Wall Street historian at Manhattan College. “There’s just too many questions about the integrity of the stock market, and I think people are starting to realize this — individuals, at least.” Prominent investor Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks basketball team, declared on his blog Wednesday that the investing public’s positive impression of the stock market had been “torched to the ground.” Retail investors reportedly got 25 percent of Facebook’s 421 million shares in the initial public offering. Regulators and congressional investigators have begun probes into what went wrong, looking into questions over information distributed ahead of the IPO. Morgan Stanley and other underwriters warned privileged clients that their analysts had grown sour on Facebook’s revenue growth potential. They failed to telegraph the same information to retail clients and the general public. Information affords a crucial trading edge on Wall Street. Regulators have tried to level the playing field for years.

Fiat to halt sales to Iran

Italian automaker Fiat SpA, which controls Chrysler, said that it and subsidiaries will immediately halt sales to Iran, following similar moves by other carmakers under pressure to cut ties to Tehran over its disputed nuclear program. The international community has been toughening sanctions on the Islamic Republic — including on its main cash cow, oil — because of fears that it plans to build nuclear weapons. Iran says its nuclear program is peaceful. The auto industry has been under pressure from the anti-nuclear lobby group United Against Nuclear Iran to cut off business dealings with Iran. UANI says that the global auto industry is the second-largest source of foreign currency for the Iranian government, after oil.

A year ago this week, Baker Hughes reported 1,847 rigs. Of the major oil- and gas-producing states, Colorado gained five rigs; North Dakota four; Alaska two and California one. Texas declined by eight rigs; Pennsylvania by four; New Mexico and Oklahoma two each and Wyoming one.

laundry products, around 1-inch packets that are meant to be dropped into a washing machine in place of liquid or powder detergent. Nearly 250 cases nationally have been reported to poison control centers this year, a figure that’s expected to rise. No deaths have been reported. Almost all of the cases so far have been reported since March, when several companies began to market the packets. A handful of children have been hospitalized for several days. Texas reported 71 instances of exposure this year, all but one in March or later. Some children might be confusing the tubs of colorfully swirled detergent packets for bowls of candy, said Bruce D.

Anderson, director of operations at the Maryland Poison Center. Maryland has reported 15 cases this year. “Kids are very bright and will find a way to get to something that they want to get to,” he said. Dr. Michael Buehler of the Carolinas Poison Center said Tide’s tougher lid could make a difference. “In a nutshell, yes, it would be good, but I don’t know enough,” Buehler said. “It’s too early to tell.” Spokesmen for other detergentmakers did not immediately say if they also planned changes. Sun Products Corp., which makes “mighty pacs” sold under the all brand name, is evaluating its packaging, spokeswoman Kathryn Corbally said.

Consumer confidence has been rising since August, when it bottomed out at 54.9 amid the contentious debate over raising the national debt ceiling. That figure was the lowest reading since 1980. The steady rise slowed to a crawl in April, with the index rising just 0.3 percent from March. But the outlook brightened significantly in May. The new reading topped figures from early 2011, when a similar boost in consumer confidence was derailed by high gas prices and economic turmoil abroad.

slowing. ... But the American consumer is unmoved. In fact, they are downright optimistic,” said Chris Rupkey, chief financial economist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi in New York. “Consumer confidence at a new high should make us more certain that the consumer will continue to lead this recovery going forward.” More favorable outlooks on wages and jobs helped push the index to 79.3 in May, up nearly 4 percent from April’s 76.4. This month’s figure was up 6.7 percent from a year ago.

I’ve been wrestling with this holiday weekend forecast all week because of the many possible scenarios the computer guidance is showing. The concern has been, and still is, a weak frontal boundary draped over the state this weekend. Today we should be just on the north side of the boundary where enough dry air should allow for a good deal of sunshine. Starting tonight, the front will drift back north as a warm front and showers could return tomorrow. Expect a warmer and more humid day Monday. Time to relax and remember those who served this great nation.

SANDRA SNYDER WALL TO WALL

By STACY DOWNS

ANSAS CITY, Mo. — Chalkboards may be old-school, but they’re the newest accent in home decor. “Look what I made,” said Kelly Sims of Liberty, Mo., holding up her smartphone during an unofficial show and tell during a chalkboard-paint class at Be Here Now, a store in Independence, Mo. She flipped through pics: A picnic basket with a chalkboard top for playfully listing its contents. An old mirror converted into a message board. The fronts of a few kitchen cabinets for meal planning and writing quotes.

Sims finds pieces in thrift stores, garage sales and even the trash, then transforms them with chalkboard paint into gifts and home-entertaining accessories. Sims may be a kindergarten teacher, but she was a student in chalkboard-paint class. The instructor was Meredith Martin, an interior designer who lectured on how to mix custom colors and what you can make with it. Results included a table setting with a chalkboard-painted paper runner and flower pots with chalkboard labels. Next to her sat a chalkboard-painted desk, storage boxes and a child’s play table. She led the class in a craft project, a large metal charger with the decorative border taped off. With paint, the center of the charger became a chalkboard. Here’s an array of chalkboard paint information: • Apply paint thickly with a foam craft brush for small pieces or a regular paintbrush for furniture and walls. For glass See CHALK, Page 3C

ou become responsible forever for what you have tamed.” So said French author Antoine de SaintExupery in the form of a little fox to a “Little Prince.” Pure coincidence, but I’d just finished a conversation with an old friend about that golden nugget (among many) from that gentle giant of a book when something showed up on my porch, quaking, shaking and needing a friend. To make a long backstory short, a bighearted band of visitors had just left my house when they came upon a bird in distress, unable to fly and seemingly under attack. In short order, one visitor was back at my door, requesting a box and my help in a hurry. Antoine I was summoned to quite the scene: Four modern-day disciples of St. Francis, in the middle of the street, scooping up a wild, confused, shellshocked bird. Dear God, for me! The rescuers were running late, so my instructions were breathless and brief: “Give him water and some kind of food and just keep him alive. We’ll call you later. Thanksloveyoubye!” And then there were two: One wideeyed bird, now in a toaster box; one equally wide-eyed me. Clueless. (Fear not, this story does end legally.) First instinct: How about some oyster crackers, little bird? But he just turned up his little beak. So I offered a salsa bowl filled with water and left well enough alone, certain wing-flapping pandemonium was nigh. In a good sign, though, little bird planted himself in the water and had a bath. Still, he showed zero interest in food and zero ability to fly. And night was falling. Would he make it through? Until I figured this out? Reinforcements were summoned. A teenage nephew, owner of two pampered parakeets, arrived bearing birdseed. We changed up the accommodations, swapping out the toaster box for a storage bin, then a low-walled foil pan with a better view. Cleaned up the crackers and swapped in the seed. But he just sat in those as well. This was not going to be easy. … Will you just let me love you, wee fellow? My answer? He climbed out of the pan and headed for the nearest dark corner, behind the recycling bins, there to stare up at the screens in longing. “But you can’t fly, baby boy,” I explained. “And it’s a big, scary world out there. Which is why I have accepted responsibility for you.” (Tame or not.) “And which is why I shall call you Antoine (after the author).” Day two. Morning. He lived! Still behind the recycling bins and food still untouched, but life had been sustained, and I couldn’t help taking pride. Advice came from all corners: Open the door; let him choose. Put him in the yard; let nature decide. (“It’s God’s way.”) Take him to a veterinarian; abdicate. First, I decided, Antoine must eat, if he is to make it anywhere. Flecks of roast beef were my next offering, but no go. The good news (sort of)? By the looks of the porch, his little body was still functioning. So I gave it to Google, which educated me — sigh — that to keep this bird any longer would be illegal. No choice. I summoned the nearest-residing member of “Team Antoine” and said we were in this together. He returned quickly, to do what we had to do. Before I could even change the sheets in what was now my bird hotel, my young, gray charge was on his way, via private escort, to the Pocono Wildlife Sanctuary. En route, he was treated to a picnic in a park, where he dined (finally) on cat food from human hands. (I do not make this up.) You try to do this and not bond. So our bird was officially identified as a starling, an “aggressive, nuisance” species — pish! — with nearly fully grown tail feathers. He’d be caged temporarily but soon would soar free over the Poconos, it was explained. Now that I will accept as God’s way, whether or not … well, you know. Fly away, my little Antoine, my little sky prince. Perhaps someday you’ll return to me – maybe even find me, by then, a bona-fide birder. My yard will be your yard, and, oh, will it be dreamy … To twist some famous words from a beautiful book: I think you become attached forever to what you have named.

Safety check: Secure those backyard pools Considering that it took an hour to regain feeling in many of my fingertips, it might not have been the brightest thing I’ve done recently. Yet, the swimming pool in my kinfolk’s back yard in northern Connecticut looked so inviting that I spent a half hour in it, despite a water temperature of 65 degrees — just eight degrees warmer than the air. My taste of summer reminded me of some advice about pool safety I received recently from www.poolsafely.gov, which is part of the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Every day, 10 people die from unintentional drowning, the Centers for Disease Control reports. Of these, two will be children age 14 or younger. Drowning is the sixth leading cause of unintentional death for people of all ages, and the second leading cause of death for children ages 1 to 14. • The fence or other barrier should be at least four feet high. It should have no footholds or handholds that could help a young child climb it. • Vertical fence slats should be less than four inches apart to prevent a child from squeezing through. • If the fence is chain link, then no part of the diamond-shaped opening should be larger than 13⁄4 inches. • The maximum clearance at the bottom of the barrier should not exceed four inches above grade. • For aboveground pools, there are two recommended ways to prevent young children from climbing into the pool. The steps or ladder into the

pool can be secured, locked or removed to prevent access, or a barrier such as a fence can surround the steps or ladder. Fence gates should open out from the pool and should be self-closing and self-latching. The gate should be well maintained to close and latch easily. The latch should be out of a child’s reach. If a gate is properly designed, even if the gate is not completely latched, a young child pushing on the gate will at least close the gate and may actually engage the latch. The release mechanism for the gate should be at least three inches below the top of the gate on the side facing the pool. The gate should have no opening greater than inch within 18 inches of the latch-release mechanism. This prevents a young child from reaching through the gate and releasing the latch.

Which would you do first? A: Six of one, half-dozen of the other, but if it were me, and it has been, I’d paint first and refinish second. I’ve always found it easier to remove dust from the walls than get all the paint off the floor, no matter how carefully I cover things. Questions? E-mail Alan J.

There’s a lot to like in this onestory design, Plan HMAFAPW00689 from Homeplans.com. With 2,916 square feet of living space on one level, there’s plenty of room to spread out and live large. The kitchen island is designed to seat five people and curves around so they can all talk to one another. This generous area opens to the conversation room, boasting a fireplace, windows and sliding doors to the backyard. When it’s time for dinner, head to the living and dining zone, which also leads outside. A media room can become almost anything: home theater, office or craft room are just a few possibilities. Three bedrooms grace the right side of the plan. The deluxe master suite offers a tray ceiling, sliding glass doors to the outside, a dressing area, dual walk-in closets, a doublebowl vanity and a compartmented toilet. The sunken shower area is highlighted with glass blocks. A garden whirlpool tub finishes off this area. Extra storage in the garage will

On the shelf TV host and interior designer Sabrina Soto weighs in with her approach to decorating in her new book, “Sabrina Soto Home Design.” Soto, host of shows including HGTV’s new series “The High/Low Project,” starts with the premise that everyone has the ability to think creatively. Then she guides her readers through their projects by showing them how to approach decorating one step, or “layer,” at a time. Soto’s method takes readers through eight layers, from studying and understanding the raw space to adding accents to the finished room. The book introduces readers to many of the options available, be it countertop materials or sofa styles, and provides tips and photos of rooms in a wide variety of styles. “Sabrina Soto Home Design” is due out Monday from Wiley. It’s priced at $19.99 in softcover. -- McClatchy-Tribune

CHALK bottles, apply thinly. Spray cans of chalkboard paint are available. • Black — as in blackboard — is the most typical color of chalkboard paint, but it can be any color. • Chalkboard markers, available at craft stores and at Chalk Ink (chalkinkworldstore.com), are an alternative to dusty, smearing chalk. • Decals with chalkboard surfaces are another way to go if you don’t want to commit to paint. Large-format shapes include rectangles, squares, airplanes and coffee cups, to name a few at All Modern (allmodern.com). Little labels are available at Martha Stewart Home Office with Avery at Staples (staples.com). • Erasers like you had in elementary school are adorable. But if you want the surface to be super clean, clean it with a damp cloth. • Furniture, such as the top of a desk or a dining table, works well for chalkboard paint. But the paint can be used on the entire piece. Artist Tiffini Killgore painted a dresser with chalkboard paint and wrote the names of Kansas City neighborhoods on

the drawers in chalk. • Good gifts can be made with chalkboard paint. Paint an empty wine bottle, et voila! A vase. Great gift tags, too, can be crafted. The best part: they’re reusable. • Chalkboards are great party pieces. Use a chalkboard-style oilcloth as a runner on the table. Give guests chalk or chalk pens and tell them to go to town. • Jot down anything on a chalkboard surface. It can be erased. Kraft paper can be covered with chalkboard paint to create a tablecloth. Great for writing pairing suggestions for tasting parties. • Let your kids draw on the

walls. No problem with a chalkboard or chalkboard paint. • Make a Monday-through-Friday message board out of an old five-panel door using chalkboard paint in the panels. • Pictures on Pinterest.com are inspiring us. We especially love walls with chalk drawings, such as a family tree in a nursery. A hint for precise outlines: Rent a projector and create a transparency at a print shop. Understand that when you apply chalkboard paint, it goes on gritty. When it dries, sand surfaces with 150-grit sandpaper before you first write on them.

Metal tubs Diamond Spas in Frederick, Colo., welds recycled copper and stainless steel into tubs that are lined with foam insulation, then buffed to a nice Old World finish. Like kitchen pans, the copper tubs can be left to develop a patina or rendered shiny with a polishing compound. Soaking tubs aren’t as complicated to install as you might think. Ifyou’reputtinginasmaller,oneor two-person tub, you’ll actually use less water than a conventional tub. But a four-person version can hold a lot of water — close to 250 gallons, compared to about 50 for a conventional tub. So floor joists

need to be able to hold the weight of the water, not just the tub. Also,makesureyou’llbeabletoget the tub sideways through doorways. Many tubs come with an overflowfailsafebuiltin,butyoushould have a drain in the bathroom floor as well. The river rock bed is an attractivewaytohideadrainingfloor system, but you also can tile the bathroom floor and install a drain. You’ll need lots of good hot water, so upgrade your system, and consider an inline heater that continuously reheats the full tub. There are jetted options for many of these models, if you’d prefer some bubbles with your soak.

The statue, at right, is located near the burial site of Father Murgas, who built the church of Sacred Heart and became the first pastor of the parish in the Diocese of Scranton. Father Murgas, famous for his invention of wireless telegraphy over land, was also a botanist whose collection may be seen at King’s College, and an artist whose works of art are above the altars in Sacred Heart Church. The total cost of $2,200 to repair the statue, which was originally donated by the parish Holy Name Society, was funded with parishioners’ donations and the matching grant from the FCSLA

Middle-aged single women wonder where all the single men are hiding Dear Abby: My friends and I are women in our 40s and early 50s. Some of us are married, some are single. Individually or as a group we have taken classes, volunteered, gone on cruises, gone to clubs and bars — you name it. We have noticed that nearly everyone at these activities is female. There are loads of single middle-aged women out there joining things and having fun, but there seem to be almost no single middle-aged men. Friends in various parts of the country report the same thing. Where do the single men go? Our running joke is they’re all home watching bad cable TV. Middle-aged

DEAR ABBY ADVICE guys must be there somewhere, but where? You’d think that if they wanted to meet women, they’d go where women are, but we rarely see them. Can you solve this mystery? — Where the Boys Aren’t, Northern Wyoming Dear Where The Boys Aren’t: Your problem may be that most of the males in your age group are already married. I don’t recommend looking for eligible men in clubs and bars because the ones who go there are usually looking for younger women.

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

I do suggest volunteering because it offers an opportunity to expand one’s circle of acquaintances. I caution women who are looking for companionship not to “hunt in packs” because some men find the idea of approaching a group of women to be daunting. The pool you’re fishing in appears to be small. Have you considered looking online for men in other communities in your state? You will increase your odds of success by putting yourselves “out there.” Dear Abby: I have been dating a wonderful man for two years. We’re talking about marriage, but there is a problem. He has his ex’s name tattooed on his backside and it’s starting to bother me. I offered to pay to have

have ...” and insists that the request should be, “May I have ... ?” I was raised to believe that either would be acceptable. What say you? — Query-Conscious in California

Dear Really Confused: Removing a tattoo can be expensive, timeconsuming and painful. If the only deal-breaker in your relationship is the tattoo, consider asking him to turn the other cheek and have YOUR name placed opposite his ex’s so you will have equal billing. A large “X” could be inked over the ex’s name if it would make you feel better.

Dear Q.C.: If the server asks you, “What’ll you have?” it’s perfectly acceptable to respond, “I’ll have ...” However, “May I have ...” sounds more refined. If this is the only complaint your fiance can come up with, he’s a lucky man and should count his blessings.

Dear Abby: Please settle a debate between my fiance and me. He contends that when we’re in a restaurant, it is impolite to say to your server, “I will

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). As a rule, you think the best of others. Someone will temporarily disappoint you, but in time, he or she will satisfy and exceed your expectations. There is more to this person than you currently are being allowed to see. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are your own person. When you are gently nudged in a direction, you won’t mind exploring. You will, however, politely and stubbornly ignore more forceful requests. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be in a position to make up with someone you’ve been at odds with for a while now. It won’t be necessary to admit you were wrong, though, which is good because you probably weren’t. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The day will surprise you. Romantic or creative passion motivates you to take a bold risk. One action leads to the next. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It would be a shame to let financial issues cause relationship tension. Strive to regard money with an attitude of neutrality. The less emotional you are about money, the better you’ll master it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There’s a contest of sorts going on unofficially, but the stakes are unmistakable. Come up with a private strategy. You’ll probably need to take yourself out of the game in order to hear yourself think. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s something you need to do in order to excel on the job. You’ll have to work on this on your own time, but the sacrifice will be worthwhile.

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). That situation that went bad in the past isn’t worth depleting your serotonin over. Maybe you already forgave, but forgiveness is sometimes more of a process than a one-time pardon. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll challenge your own excuses and come up with an excellent way to frame things in your own mind. The questions you ask yourself will be important to the outcome. It’s better to ask “how” than “why.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A new source of encouragement appears to reassure you that you are on the right path. This could come from a friend, but more likely, it will be part of a teaching process. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Strengthen existing relationships before you reach out to make a new friend or alliance. Otherwise, jealousies arise, and the thing you did to make your life more interesting will make it more complicated instead. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be drawn to those who live life on a large scale, and you’ll be inspired by their stories and ways. When you encounter powerful forces, it makes you want to get stronger, and you will. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 26). You’ll respond extremely positively to an unexpected event, triggering a wave of good fortune over the next 10 weeks. In June, a favorable trade has you smiling. Libra and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 50, 2, 15 and 41.
