Luzerne County Manager Robert Lawton has
advised county council to stop spending money
ontheHotel Sterlingproject indowntownWilkes-
Barre.
Lawton said in his written report to council,
whichwas publiclyreleasedMonday, that demoli-
tion of the structure at River and Market streets
Further, the countys acquisition of the Ster-
ling would place it in the chain of ownership, ex-
posing the county to liability issues related to the
site and its contents, he wrote.
Lawton said the county could be liable if demo-
lition damaged adjacent properties, including the
Sterling Annex purchased by the Greater Wilkes-
Barre Chamber of Business and Industry.
Could drain fund
Some council members had wanted to explore
would approach $1.5 million.
The expenditure would de-
plete a significant portion of
the countys $11millioncommu-
nity development business loan
fund, he said.
The county may recoup this
expense by reselling the cleared
3.34-acre parcel, but theres lit-
tle likelihood the county would get back the $6
million already loaned to the nonprofit owner,
CityVest, to preserve and market the structure,
Lawton wrote.

WILKES-BARRE For the first time, the
parents of Tyler Winstead on Monday
spoke out about their 14-year-old sons
shooting death near his Hill Street home
last week, saying authorities arent keeping
them informed.
Christine and Terrence Winstead Sr. said
they spent as much time as they could over
the years visiting with
Tyler and his siblings,
who live with Christines
parents, the childrens le-
gal guardians. But a fam-
ily rift made it difficult.
And because of the
strained relationships be-
tween the adults, Ter-
rence and Christine say
they feel excluded, not only fromTylers fu-
neral plans, but fromsharing in any knowl-
edge of progress or lack thereof in the
investigation of their sons homicide.
As his parents, we have a right to know,
Christine Winstead said late Monday after-
noon at her and Terrences Willow Street
home. I need to know for peace of mind,
for peace of heart. Its a senseless crime. He
was just a child. To be gunned down like
that, its not right.
Tyler Winsteadwas walkingwithafriend
after playing basketball at the Catholic
Youth Center on South Washington Street
when he was shot in the chest in front of
117-119 Hill St. He lived with his grandpar-
ents, WillieandCarol Golden, whowerehis
legal guardians, a few houses away from
where he was shot, authorities have said.

WILKES-BARRE -- A city po-
lice officer shot a man in what ap-
pears to be a home invasion on
Kidder Street early Monday
morning.
It was the fifth reported home
invasion in the area in the last
three weeks, but a state police
spokesman said it would be pre-
mature to link it to any others.
The man, identified as James
Rankin, 21, address unknown,
suffered a single gunshot wound
while being pursued by the offi-
cer on Laurel Street just before 4
a.m. Rankin underwent surgery
at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital
and is expected to survive.
State police Lt. Richard Kra-
wetz, commander of the criminal
investigation unit, said city po-
lice responded to a reported
home invasion involving an
armed man in the 200 block of
Kidder Street.

WARRIOR RUN -- A heated
discussion broke out at the bor-
ough council meeting after a resi-
dent complained about alleged
drug activity and the lack of po-
lice presence near his home.
He said he feared for the safety
of his four children. Several resi-
dents backed up his claims of
drug dealing in the borough
streets.
Other residents agreed the
amount of time the Nanticoke po-
lice spent in the borough had di-
minished since last year.
Council President Robert Day-
lida agreed with the residents.
Im seeing less of them too, he
said.
The borough contracts with
Nanticoke for police protection.
Nanticokes chief of police was
not in attendance at the meeting.
Daylida said residents must
call 9-1-1 when they see drug ac-
tivity so that the police can re-
spond.
People have to get more in-
volved, he said.
Inanother matter, anupset res-
ident said she wanted access to
the boroughs records on sewer
payments. Solicitor James Pyrah
assuredher therecords arepublic
and she needs to file a right to
know form with the borough
secretary.
He also said the borough had
filed several liens this year and
last against those not paying
their sewer bills.
In other business, the prelimi-
nary estimate for repairs to the
Chestnut, Front and Short Street
floodwater systems was present-
ed by Borough Engineer Paul Pa-
sonick. The $394,000 estimate
includes construction costs as
well as engineering and survey-
ing costs.
Pasonick said the estimate was
the minimum and costs could
rise depending on the require-
ments of the Pennsylvania De-
partment of Transportation,
which will also be involved in the
project.
Pasonick told council it must
decide what to do with the com-
munity development funding it
will receive.
To which Daylida said, I dont
know what were going to do.
The solicitor announced that
the Wyoming Valley Sanitary Au-
thority has asked the borough to
pass an ordinance that will bring
it into compliance with federal
guidelines on industrial pre-
treatment requirements to pre-
vent pollution.
The council will advertise the
ordinance and it will come up for
approval at next months meet-
ing.

WEST WYOMING -- Council
voted Monday to authorize the
borough solicitor to look into
procedures that would reduce
the size of council from seven to
five members.
With only 2,700 residents, the
borough doesnt need a seven-
member council, said Council-
man Dan Gadomski.
This is such a small bor-
ough, he said. Trying to find
people to sit on council is bru-
tal.
In other matter, Gerald Boni-
ta, judge of elections, asked
council to warn campaigners in
the April 24election that they
must hand out campaign cards
at least 10 feet from the borough
building, which will serve as a
polling place. The distance re-
striction is set by the county,
Bonita pointed out.
In other news, council an-
nounced that Charney Park will
soon be getting a makeover,
thanks to a grant from the state
Department of Conservation
and Natural Resources.
The $40,000 grant, which will
be combined with $20,000 from
the borough, will cover the cost
of new playground equipment
and benches.
The project will also include
updating the basketball court
and making the playground
handicapped accessible.
Junior Council member Jared
Saporito announced the Wyom-
ing Area High Schools Drama
Club will perform at the West
Pittston Cherry Blossomon May
5. The schools Key Club will al-
so be at the event.
A bulk pickup will be held
April 16. Residents are allowed
one large item per household.
Volunteers are needed for the
annual Hose Co. No.1 Bazaar
scheduled for the end of July.

W H AT S N E X T
PLACERVILLE, Calif. In
Thomas Kinkades hometown,
at the gallery where his art ca-
reer first took off, an original
painting by the self-described
Painter of Light sat unsold for
years. Buyers were perhaps de-
terred by the $110,000 asking
price.
The painting, Sunday Out-
ing, was being sold on consign-
ment, and when word came Fri-
day night that Kinkade had
died, its owner called and asked
for the selling price to be raised
to $150,000, gallerist Nathan
Ross said Monday. The paint-
ing sold hours later.
It wasnt the only one. Bar-
raged with orders from custom-
ers in person, on the phone and
online, Ross has called in as
much extra help as he can find.
He said on a typical day hell
sell one to five Kinkade pieces
through the gallerys website.
In the last 48 hours, he says
hes received about 300 online
orders.
Phones are just ringing non-
stop. We have five lines and
theyre constantly lit up. People
are waiting in line to buy paint-
ings, Ross said. Its just been a
real juggling match to make
sure everyone gets taken care
of.
Other galleries across the
country that specialize in Kin-
kades work are reporting a sim-
ilar surge in sales following the
popular painters death at age
54.
John Vassallo, who owns five
Kinkade galleries in New York
and New Jersey, says sales on
Saturday reached half his typi-
cal sales for the entire month of
December, the busiest month of
the year. Like most Kinkade re-
tailers, Vassallo traffics not in
originals but limited edition re-
productions, many of which
come hand-signed by the artist
himself.
Any piece with Kinkades
original signature is in high de-
mand at a cost of $8,000 to
$15,000, said Vassallo, who
counted Kinkade as a personal
friend.
Its been a tragic cost unfor-
tunately, Vassallo said of Kin-
kades death, but I know that
Thom is looking down and
bringing the people.
Vassallo also said he believed
Kinkade likely left behind unre-
leased work that would help
feed public demand even after
the painters death. The Mor-
gan Hill company that produces
and distributes Kinkades art
hinted in a weekend message to
gallery owners and employees
that such work did indeed exist.
He leaves behind a rich lega-
cy of published and unpublish-
ed work and has inspired gener-
ations of artists to follow in his
brushstrokes, Thomas Kin-
kade Co. CEO John Hasting
wrote in the statement. Hasting
said later that the company was
heartened by the outpouring of
appreciation of Kinkades work.
The company hasnt offeredany
specifics on how much sales
have increased.
Though no one knows how
long it will last, the renewed in-
terest in Kinkade would seem
to represent something of a re-
versal of fortune.
In 2010, one of Kinkades
companies filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy after many years of
huge commercial success. The
bankruptcy filing came as the
company had started making
payments on an almost $3 mil-
lion court award to two dis-
gruntled former gallerists.
Kinkade died Friday at his
home in Los Gatos of what his
family said was apparent natu-
ral causes.

HANOVER TWP. The driv-
er of a tractor-trailer hauling
lawnmowers trimmed the top of
his trailer when it scraped under
a railroad bridge on Dundee
Road on Monday morning.
Township police said Emmett
McDonald, 48, of Hohenwald,
Tenn., was driving a 2009 Ken-
worth tractor en route to the
Sears warehouse in Hanover
Industrial Park when at about
8:45 a.m., he drove under an old
railroad bridge/trestle and the
entire top of the Great Dane
trailer was ripped off as McDo-
nald drove under the bridge.
McDonald told police he was
unable to stop in time when he
saw the sign warning of low
height clearance, police said,
adding that the height of the
trailer McDonald was hauling
was 13 feet, 6 inches.
But, a yellow and black sign
at the beginning of Dundee
Road at the Sans Souci Parkway
warned of a height clearance of
11 feet, 9 inches, and there was
another similar sign along that
road as well as a sign on the
trestle itself, police said.
The trailer, which contained
about 240 boxed Husqvarna
lawnmowers, was towed from
the scene; the tractor was driven
away. In the interim, Dundee
Road was closed for about five
hours.

MIDDLETOWN-- OnePower-
ball ticket worth $2 million from
the April 7 drawing was sold at
Xtra Mart, 114 W. Hartford St.,
Milford, Pike County, according
to Pennsylvania Lottery offi-
cials.
The ticket correctly matched
all five white balls, 05-13-17-20-
30, but not the red Powerball 18,
and added Power Play, which
sets the prize at $2 million, less
25 percent federal withholding.
This is Pennsylvanias first $2
million match-five Power Play
prize since enhancements to
Powerball took effect in January.
Before those changes, this prize
would have been worth only $1
million.
The retailer will receive a
$10,000 bonus for selling this
winning ticket. Before the game
was changed, it would have
earned a $5,000 bonus corre-
sponding with the smaller jack-
pot.
Lottery officials cannot con-
firm the identity of the April 7
winner until the prize is claimed
and the ticket is validated. Penn-
sylvania Lottery Powerball win-
ners have one year from the
drawing date to claim prizes.
The Lottery encourages the
holder of the winning ticket to
sign the back of the ticket, call
the Lottery at 717-702-8146 and
file a claim at Lottery headquar-
ters in Middletown, Dauphin
County, or at any of Lotterys
seven area offices.
Claims may be filed at head-
quarters Monday through Fri-
day, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and
from8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at ar-
ea offices.

City man pleads guilty
A city man charged with luring a
man into a home, hitting him with a
bat and robbing him pleaded guilty
Monday to related charges.
Tremayne Hampton, 22, of North
Empire Court, entered the plea to
charges of aggravated assault and
robbery before Luzerne County
Judge David Lupas. Hampton will be
sentenced June 15.
According to court papers, James
Karlowicz told police in November
2011 that he was standing in the
parking lot of South Main Plaza off
South Main Street where he was
approached by two men offering to
sell speakers.
Karlowicz told them he wanted to
look at the speakers before he com-
mitted to buying them. Police said
the two men walked Karlowicz to the
rear of 105 Sambourne St.
Karlowicz said one of the men en-
tered an apartment when Hampton
appeared and struck him with a base-
ball bat, the complaint says. Karlowicz
said his wallet, which did not have any

WILKES-BARRE Six years ago, Hill-
aryTransuewaivedherrighttoanattorney
at a juvenile hearing before former Judge
MarkCiavarella, andshe was incarcerated
for a minor offense.
On Monday, Transue, now 20, said she
and her peers should feel vindicated after
Gov. TomCorbett signedtwopiecesof leg-
islation into law at the Luzerne County
Courthouse.
Four years ago, Pennsylvanians wit-
nessed a scandal that shocked the con-
science, Corbett said, referring to the
2008 indictments of two former county
judges, Ciavarella and Michael Conahan.
Now, we are taking action to prevent fu-
ture injustice against our children.
Thebills, Senatebills 815and818, spon-
sored by state Sen. Lisa Baker, R-Lehman
Township, require that legal counsel be
present at juvenile delinquency hearings
for juveniles under14.
Those14andoldermaywaivetheirright
to counsel, but only in limited circum-
stances.
That bill, Corbett said, becomes effec-
tive in60days.
Bill 818 requires a judge to state why
eachjuvenilereceivedthedispositionthey

manchargedwithshooting andkill-
ing a 17-year-old girl during a fight
with his brother was sentenced
Monday to five to 10 years in state
prison.
Martin Joseph Beamer, 25, of
West Shawnee Avenue, was sen-
tenced on charg-
es of involuntary
manslaughter
and aggravated
assault by Judge
DavidLupas after
the May 1, 2011,
shooting that left
Samantha Clau-
dio dead.
Imsorry fromthe bottomof my
heart, Beamer said Monday. (Sa-
mantha) was a friend who meant a
lot to me. I wish I could take it
back.
Prosecutors say Beamer and his
brother, John Bogdon, were at
Beamers home when Beamer
placed a live round into a 9mm pis-
tol inanattempt toscareBogdonin-
to leaving.
Beamer held the gun in one hand
while grabbing Bogdons shirt with
his other as Bogdonthrewpunches,
court papers say.
The gun went off, and Claudio
screamed and ran into the kitchen,
where she collapsed, police said.
I tried to save her, Beamer said,
whowasassistedbyhismother, Tra-
cy, until paramedics arrived. No
matter howmuch(prison) timeI do
Ill have to live with (her death)
the rest of my life.
Beamers attorney, Thomas
Cometa, said his client accepted re-
sponsibility and has been remorse-
ful since surrendering to police im-
mediately.
That, Assistant District Attorney
Frank McCabe, said is something
that rarely happens.
(Beamer) has been cooperative
from the beginning, McCabe said.
He was there when the ambulance
came and admitted (to the killing)
from the beginning.
McCabe said Beamers actions
have affected the lives of his own
family as well as Claudios.
Its a tragic shame, McCabe
said.
Membersof Claudiosfamilywere
present Monday, including two of
her sisters, who told Lupas they
wanted justice for their sister.
In a plea agreement, prosecutors
sought a mandatory minimum of
five to10years inprisonfor Beamer.
Beamer must payatotal of $3,798
in restitution and received credit for
time served from May 2, 2011 to
Monday.
This was not an intentional kill-
ing, but still had tragic consequenc-
es, Lupas said. It was an unfortu-
nate decisionto pull out a weapon. I
wish people would realize that if
theydecidetopull aweapon, (some-
thing like) this could happen.

Wilkes Universityis theplacetoteachif
you can land a full-professorship and
money is important, according to new
college staff salary data. The average an-
nual salary for a full professor at Wilkes is
$100,300, the highest inthe area, withthe
University of Scranton running a close
second at $99,100.
The figures come fromthe 2011-12 sala-
ry survey conducted by the American As-
sociation of University Professors and
compiled into a searchable database by
The Chronicle of Higher Education. The
online database does not have informa-
tion about Kings College.
According to the Chronicle, the Associ-
ationof UniversityProfessors is usingthis
years data to combat claims that faculty
salaries are causing rapid increases in col-
lege tuition rates. The survey of 1,251 in-
stitutions showed that the average salary
for professors, associate professors and
instructors rose by1.8percent inone year,
less than the inflation rate and far less
than tuition has been rising.
Locally, the University of Scranton had
the highest average for associate profes-
sors, $66,400. Misericordia University
had the lowest average pay for full profes-
sors and associates, $69,600 and $56,000
respectively.
Penn State University full professors at
the main campus averaged $132,100, the
seventh highest among 84 Pennsylvania
institutions surveyed. Associates aver-
aged $89,200, and assistants averaged

DALLAS TWP. The Dallas School
Board unanimously voted Monday to
eliminate a full-time maintenance posi-
tion in favor of a part-time one.
Last month, some board members had
concerns about abolishing the laborer po-
sition in the maintenance department be-
cause of the increased needs of campus
maintenance since the completion of the
new high school building last year.
The board tabled the motion to remove
the position, which was open due to the
resignation of an employee, until Super-
visor of Buildings and Grounds Mark
Kraynack could provide the board with
documentation about how the depart-
ment would be affected by the change.
Kraynack said that after discussing the
issue with the board, he found that the
groundskeeper staff was lacking.
The board approved a motion to add a
part-time groundskeeper position to help
ease the workload.
Kraynack said the groundskeeper posi-
tion duties include plowing snow, cutting
grass andtending to the outdoors areas of
campus.
The board also approved a 15 cent in-
crease to all student lunches for the 2012-
13 school year, which will bring the high-
est price for a school lunch from $1.90 to
$2.05.
Superintendent Frank Galicki said the
increase in cost is attributed to meeting
the federal standardfor school lunchpric-
es, as well as the current economic cli-
mate.
The board also heard fromEugene Kel-
leher and John Brougher, representatives
of the Back MountainEcumenical Group,
about a potential project to honor Dallas
graduates whohave beeninjuredor killed
during service in the armed forces.
Kelleher said the group is raising funds
through the 1st Lt. Michael Cleary Fund
to purchase plaques to honor those from
Dallas HighSchool whohave beenaward-
ed purple hearts or gold stars.
Cleary, formerly of Dallas, was killed in
December 2005 during combat in Oper-
ation Iraqi Freedom.
Brougher said he hopes to have a group
or individual from the high school take
over the project, but the mens group has
worked to design the plaques and set up
rules for the program.
The 14-inch plaques would include a
seal from the branch of the military in
which the person served along with their
name, rank and date of receiving the
award.
Brougher said more research needs to
be done to determine how many Dallas
graduates would be honored through this
program.
He said anyone wishing to make a do-
nation to the project could do so through
the 1st Lt. Michael Cleary Fund, which is
operated through the Luzerne Founda-
tion.
In other business, the following three
fall sports positions are open at the high
school: girls tennis coach with a stipend
of $2,217 and two girls soccer co-coach
positions with stipends of $3,033 each.

WILKES-BARRE A man
who prosecutors say was in-
volved in a $15 million heroin
trafficking ring pleaded guilty
Monday to related charges.
Benjamin McNeil, 22, with a
last known address of Howard
Street, Wilkes-Barre, entered
the plea to five related charg-
es, including corrupt orga-
nizations and criminal conspir-
acy, before County Judge Jo-
seph Sklarosky Jr. McNeil will
be sentenced June 8.
Investigators say McNeil
was charged as part of an in-
vestigation by the state Office
of Attorney General called
Operation Bloodstain, which
netted 17 people who investi-
gators say distributed 1.5 mil-
lion heroin packets in North-
eastern Pennsylvania since
January 2007. Narcotics
agents believe the organiza-
tion purchased 50 to 100
bricks of heroin every two to
four days in Newark, N.J., and
New York City to sell in the
Wyoming Valley.
Several other members have
pleaded guilty and are await-
ing sentencing, while others
have been sentenced or are
awaiting trial.

mation and narrowing down a
vast amount of leads.
In response to Christine and
Terrence Winsteads concerns,
county District Attorney Stefa-
nie Salavantis said county detec-
tives are conducting the investi-
gation as it needs to be conduct-
ed.
AndI amsure that I canspeak
for the Wilkes-Barre police as
well when I say we are not trying
to intentionally keep any family
members out of the loop, Sala-
vantis said.
Terrence Sr. said a detective
handing a business card to Tyl-
ers grandmother but failing to
give one to Tylers mother on Fri-
day suggested otherwise.
But Salavantis said authorities
did not distinguish between par-
ents and grandparents when
they met with them on Friday.
The family as a whole was af-
fected by this tragedy, she said,
adding that no family members
have been provided much infor-
mationat all becauseits anongo-
ing investigation.
Expressing doubts
Terrence Sr. said he and Chris-
tine have problems with some
things theyve seen, both in per-
son at the crime scene and in
photographs.
To be lying there, when you
just came from playing basket-
ball, with your sneakers off your
feet? He dont walk around with
his sneakers untied and his pants
hanging down around his waist.
So why were his sneakers off?
Terrence Sr. said.
If youre shot in a spot and
theres no blood spatter any-
where in the area where your
body is lying, youve been placed
there, he said.
These investigators, I dont
know what theyre doing, how
theyre doing it, I cant tell them
their job. Were not arguing
white-and-black. But black-on-
black, its like its laid back, and
its not right, he said.
Anyone with information
about the deadly shooting is
asked to call Wilkes-Barre police
at 208-4200.
Losing guardianship
The Winsteads regret that
they had not spent more time
with their children, especially
now that Tyler was taken from
them at such a young age. They
lost guardianship of their chil-
dren when Tyler was 3.
The family, at the time, lived
on South Welles Street across
from the former OKarma Ter-
race, now Boulevard Town-
homes.
Drugs, violence, et cetera, we
just happenedto be caught inthe
middle of it. They were on our
porch, in our alley. Children &
Youth comes around, Whoa,
youre all doing drugs. Wait a
minute, the drugs are being sold
next door; we live over here. We
dont have nothing to do with
this, Terrence Sr. explained.
He said he had to submit to
blood tests and, if they came up
positive, the couple would lose
custody.
After two years of being drug
tested, all of a sudden I come up
positive? I mean, come on, give
me a break. Theres a problem
there, Terrence Sr. said.
But in the meantime, grand-
ma has the kids, we dont want to
fight, now were getting out of
Wilkes-Barre. So we never
fought. They were better off
where they were, even though
they were still in the same neigh-
borhood. But we could keep
them safe, so we left, he said.
Personal struggles
Terrence Sr., 63, said that al-
though some might drudge up
the past, he and Christine, 42,
are good people and good par-
ents. Im a Vietnam veteran,
shes a Desert Storm veteran.
We have good educations. Im a
college grad, she had a couple
years. We met a snag in life, and
that was over12years ago, andall
we did was climb the hill since
then.
Terrence Sr. said he and Chris-
tine went from dinky apart-
ments to more dinky apartments
to moving to Scranton for five
years, when grandma finally
said, You got it together.
Two years ago, the Winsteads
learned of a house on Willow
Street that was large enough to
accommodate their children for
visits and sleepovers, so they ap-
plied and moved in. And al-
though they believe they could
raise their childrensafely intheir
newhome, they never triedto re-
gain custody.
We thought about it, but
theyre better off where they are
because, if we regained custody,
they would have to switch
schools. They like where they
are, theyliketoplaysports, sowe
never pursued it. All we want to
do is see themand keep in touch.
Its one of the main reasons we
moved back to Wilkes-Barre and
rented this big house. We want
them to be happy, Terrence Sr.
said.
And happy memories of Tyler
are what they will always hold
onto.
He was just a child happy,
smiling, always smiling. The first
thingheddowhenhedmeet you
is giveyouahug. Always. Thekid
played video games, basketball
and went to church. He didnt
have to roam the streets or hang
out on corners with kids, he just
wasnt there. His grandmother
and his grandfather, they raised
him good, they did a good job,
Terrence Sr. said.
Asked what they remembered
best about Tyler, his parents re-
plied in unison: His smile.
Hed come here and say,
Mom, I love you, and give me a
little hug. And that smile his
smile, Christine said, her voice
trailing off.

AKRON, Ohio An Ohio
woman accused of injuring ani-
mals, animal cruelty and numer-
ous drug offenses while posing
as a veterinarian will remain in
the Summit County Jail after a
judge refused to reduce her
bond.
Brandi Ann Tomko, 35, of Sha-
ron Township, made a brief ap-
pearance Monday before Com-
mon Pleas Judge Paul Gallagher.
Her attorney, John Greven,
asked Gallagher to reduce her 10
percent, $100,000 bond, saying
the sensationalized aspects of
her case obscure the fact that she
has been charged solely with
low-level felonies and misde-
meanors.
"Very seldom, I think, do you
see F4s, F5s and a bunch of mis-
demeanors have a bond set at
$100,000, 10 percent. This is a la-
dy who has one prior felony con-
viction, and it happened about
10 years ago," Greven said.
Two Cleveland television
crews shot the proceedings as he
addressed the court.
"The other thing, judge, is she
has known about this investiga-
tion for quite some time. The al-
legations that they are saying
happened ended about a year
ago, and she didnt run away
from it, she didnt leave town.
Shes been around the entire
time," Greven said.
He then asked the judge to
consider a "significant bond re-
duction."
Gallagher refused and kept
the current terms in place.
Tomko has been named in a
33-count indictment containing
15 drug-related felonies, identity
fraud, theft, practicing without a
license and five counts each of
injuring animals, cruelty to ani-
mals and cruelly keeping ani-
mals inside a residential dwell-
ing.
The charges involving the ani-
mals are misdemeanors. That
fact prompted a small number of
protesters to appear outside the
courtroomaskingfor harsher pe-
nalties in such cases.
Prosecutors contend the of-
fenses occurred between Febru-
ary 2010 and April 2011 while
Tomko was treating pets at the
C&D Animal Hospital in East
Akron. The facility closed last
May.
Gregory Peacock, the assist-
ant county prosecutor handling
Tomkos case, gave a brief ac-
count of some of the states alle-
gations in his argument oppos-
ing a bond reduction.
"She clearly has a drug addic-
tion that she cant control," Pea-
cock told the judge, "and she ob-
viously has caused numerous
people harm because of that.
Theres also an identity fraud
case where shes stolen the iden-
tity of a veterinarian.
"The states position is that
Ms. Tomko is where she needs to
be right now and is a risk to the
community if she were to be re-
leased."
In another felony case filed af-
ter a Jan. 24 traffic arrest, Tomko
was indicted on charges of hero-
in possession, aggravated pos-
session of drugs, misdemean-
or child endangering and oth-
er offenses.
Peacock used the case as an-
other indication Tomko could
be a flight risk.
She was scheduled for a
March 5 bond hearing in Gal-
laghers court, and when she
did not show, the judge issued
a warrant for her arrest.

that severely limits what attorneys on
both sides may say to reporters.
Judge John Clelands order also ap-
plies to any law enforcement investiga-
tor who has ever worked on the case
and anyone acting on behalf of the
lawyers.
The off-limit topics include evidence;
opinions about Sanduskys guilt or
innocence or about legal and factual
matters under discussion; and the
reputation, character, credibility or
criminal record of the defendant or any
witness, prospective witness or orga-
nization which is or may testify at trial,
or be the subject of trial testimony or

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA
3rd nuke test for N. Korea?
Recent satellite images show North
Korea is digging a new underground
tunnel in what appears to be prep-
aration for a third nuclear test, accord-
ing to South Korean intelligence offi-
cials.
The excavation at North Koreas
northeast Punggye-ri site, where nucle-
ar tests were conducted in 2006 and
2009, is in its final stages, according to
a report by intelligence officials that
was shared Monday.
Its release comes as North Korea
prepares to launch a long-range rocket
that Washington and others say is a
cover for testing missile technology
that could be used to fire on the United
States. The Obama administration said
Monday it would consider both a rock-
et launch and an underground nuclear
test as highly provocative and leave
Pyongyang more isolated.

Sextortion victims sought
Investigators are trying to identify
hundreds of potential victims whose
images were found on the computer of
an Indiana man charged with coercing
two teenage boys into recording sexual-
ly explicit videos by threatening to post
clips of their previous online indis-
cretions on gay porn websites.
Richard Leon Finkbiner, 39, was
arrested Friday at his home in Clay
County and faces two preliminary
counts of sexually exploiting a child.
He remained in custody Monday.
Finkbiner estimated to FBI agents
that he had coerced at least 100 young
people into making explicit videos,
according to documents filed in U.S.
District Court in Terre Haute. U.S.
Attorney Joe Hogsett said Monday that
it could end up becoming the biggest
U.S. sextortion case to date.

keswoman Victoria Nuland
told reporters in Washington.
Not only has the violence not
abated, it has been worse in re-
cent days, she said.
The violence bolstered fears
that the uprising could spark a
broader regional conflagration
by sucking in neighboring
countries.
Under the Annan plan, Syr-
ian troops were meant to pull
out of population centers by
this morning, but President
Bashar Assads government on
Sunday introduced a new, last-
minute demand saying
forces cannot withdraw with-
out written guarantees from
opposition fighters that they
will lay down their arms.
Syrias main rebel group, the
Free Syrian Army, rejected the
governments demand for a
written guarantee, but says it
will abide by its promise under
Annans plantostopfighting
as long as the regime does too.
We as protectors of the Syr-
ian people announce a cease-
fire against the regimes army
starting on the morning of
April 10andwe will sticktothis
promise if the regime abides by
the clauses of the initiative, a
member of the FSAs military
council said in a YouTube vid-
eo.
The Syrian opposition and
Western leaders had been skep-
tical all along that Assad would
live up to his commitment to a
truce because he broke similar
promises in the past and esca-
lated attacks on opposition
strongholds in the days leading
up to the cease-fire deadline.

Two relatives mourn for a man who was shot dead on the Le-
banon-Syria border, at their home in Beirut, Lebanon, Monday.
TEHRAN, Iran Iran is sig-
naling a possible compromise of-
fer heading into critical talks
with world powers deeply suspi-
cious of its nuclear program -- of-
fering to scale back uranium en-
richment but not abandon the
ability to make nuclear fuel.
The proposal floated by the
countrys nuclear chief as part of
the parrying before talks start
Friday suggested that sanc-
tions-battered Iran is ready to
bargain.
But this gambit appeared to
fall short of Western demands
that Iran hand over its most po-
tent nuclear material and ease a
standoff that has rattled nerves
and spooked markets with see-
saw oil prices and threats of Is-
raeli military strikes.
It is important for Iran to un-
derstand that the windowis clos-
ing and that these talks are an op-
portunity, White House press
secretary Jay Carney said Mon-
day. The decision rests with
Iran.
The talks involving Iran and
the five permanent U.N. Security
Council nations plus Germany,
tobe heldinIstanbul, are the first
direct talks on Tehrans nuclear
programinmore than14 months.
The dispute effectively boils
down to one issue: Irans stated
refusal to close down its uranium
enrichment labs.
The U.S. and its allies contend
that the same sites that make fuel
for reactors could also eventually
churnout weapons-grade materi-
al. Iran has repeatedly insisted
that its nuclear program is for
peaceful purposes only.
The ideas put forth late Sun-
day by the nuclear chief, Ferei-
doun Abbasi, are an attempt to at
least acknowledge this huge di-
vide.
Abbasi saidTehrancouldeven-
tually stop its production of the
20 percent enriched uranium
needed for a research reactor,
used for medical research and
treatments. But, he added, Iran
would continue enriching urani-
um to lower levels of about 3.5
percent for power generation.
The framework addresses one
key Western concern. The U.S.
and others worry the higher-en-
riched uranium could be turned
into warhead strength more
than 90 percent enriched in a
matter of months.
Yet Abbasi also directly
snubbed a demand backed by the
U.S. and some other countries.
They want Irans stockpile of 20
percent-enriched uranium to be
transferred out of the country.
Abbasi indicated that it would re-
main in Iran.

ORLANDO, Fla. A grand
jury will not look into the
Trayvon Martin case, a special
prosecutor said Monday, leav-
ing the decision of whether to
charge the teens shooter in
her hands alone and eliminat-
ing the possibility of a first-de-
gree murder charge.
That prosecutor, Angela Co-
rey, said her decision had no
bearing on whether she would
file charges against George
Zimmerman, the neighbor-
hoodwatchvolunteer whohas
said he shot the unarmed
black teen in self-defense. Co-
rey could still decide to charge
himwith a serious felony such
as manslaughter which can
carry a lengthy prison sen-
tence if he is convicted.
Agrand jury had been set to
meet Tuesday in Sanford,
about 20 miles northeast of
Orlando.
Corey has longhada reputa-
tion for not using grand juries
if it wasnt necessary. In Flor-
ida, only first-degree murder
cases require the use of grand
juries.
Coreys decision means she
doesnt have to rely on poten-
tially unpredictable jurors,
said David Hill, an Orlando
criminal defense attorney.
Lets give her the benefit of
the doubt. Maybe she knows
there isnt enough for first-de-
gree murder but she wants to
maintain control and charge
himwithsomethingelse, Hill
said. What does she need a
grand jury for? She cuts out
the unpredictability of the
grandjury. Shegoes whereshe
feels she has more evidence.
Corey took over the case
last month after the prosecu-
tor who normally handles
cases out of Sanford recused
himself. That prosecutor,
Norm Wolfinger, had original-
ly called for the case to be pre-
sented before a grand jury.
Prosecutors sometimes use
grandjuries toavoidthe politi-
cal fallout from controversial
cases. But Corey was elected
by voters more than 100 miles
away in the Jacksonville area,
so political problems are less
of an issue for Corey, Hill said.
Martin was killed Feb. 26
during a confrontation with
Zimmerman in a gated com-
munity in Sanford.
Zimmerman has claimed
self-defense.
Anattorneyfor Martins par-
ents saidhe is not surprisedby
thedecisiontoavoidthegrand
jury and hopes a decision is re-
ached soon.

DES MOINES, Iowa Mitt Romney
faces a daunting to-do list as he transi-
tions into the role of likely Republican
presidential nominee.
Among the tasks: Raise as much
money as possible for the general elec-
tion campaign against President Ba-
rack Obama. Hire more people and
send them to the most critical states in
the fall race. Hone his message to ap-
peal to voters across the political spec-
trum.
And do it all quickly while fending off
challenges from GOP rivals who refuse
to quit the primary race.
Obama, with the advantages of an in-
cumbent, is well ahead of Romney on
fundraising, organization and broad
pitches to voters. So Romney can be ex-
pected to spend part of his time over
the next three weeks trying to catch up.
Theres a break in the primaries lasting
until April 24, when several Northeast-
ern states vote.
Romney also must start thinking
about a running mate and strategy to
amass the 270 electoral votes needed to
win the White House on Nov. 6.
I do think the Romney teamis think-
ing about how they put in place their
fall campaign, said Terry Nelson, a for-
mer top aide to President George W.
Bush. But they clearly have some con-
tests to get through, so they wont be
able to turn their eyes entirely to that.
Theres little question that Romney
will clinch the nomination in June, if
not earlier. He has a wide lead in the
race for the 1,144 delegates required to
secure the GOP nomination. But chief
rival Rick Santorum says hell press on
at least through the end of the month.
Pennsylvania, which he represented in
the House and Senate, votes April 24,
along with Connecticut, Delaware,
New York and Rhode Island.

2 Philly firefighters killed battling blaze
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Firefighters greet each other in the aftermath of a fire in an abandoned warehouse on York Street near Ken-
sington Avenue in Philadelphia on Monday. Two firefighters who were battling the massive blaze were killed
when an adjacent furniture store they were inspecting collapsed, burying them in a pile of debris, authorities
said. It took about two hours to extract the bodies of Lt. Robert Neary, 60, and firefighter Daniel Sweeney, 25,
because of all the debris, Fire Commissioner Lloyd Ayers said at a news conference.

BALTIMORE The holder
of a winning Mega Millions
ticket sold in Maryland claimed
a share of the record-breaking
$656 million prize on Monday,
but will remain anonymous,
state lottery officials an-
nounced.
The winner claimed the prize
at lottery headquarters with a
ticket matching all six num-
bers: 2-4-23-38-46 and the Mega
Ball, 23, said Maryland Lottery
spokeswoman Carole Everett.
The winner will remain anon-
ymous, but officials will share
some details at a news confer-
ence this morning, she said.
Maryland does not require
lottery winners to be identified.
The jackpot was the biggest
in Mega Millions history, and
the three winners one each
in Maryland, Illinois and Kan-
sas will each receive more
than $218 million before taxes.
Kansas winner claimed a
share of the jackpot Friday, but
also decided to remain anony-
mous.
Lottery players waited in
long lines to buy tickets as the
jackpot gradually climbed,
leaving millions of losers to
grumble about their misfor-
tune and dream of what they
would have done with all that
money.
Marylands winner bought
the ticket at a 7-Eleven store
in Milford Mill outside Balti-
more. An attorney for a Balti-
more woman who initially
claimed she had the winning
ticket, then said she had mis-
placed it, did not immediate-
ly return a call seeking com-
ment Monday evening.
Maryland has been the
home of Mega Millions win-
ners in the past. In 2007, Ell-
wood Bunky Bartlett won
roughly $27 million after tax-
es.

Maryland ticket buyer with
share of $656 million prize

ANCHORAGE, Alaska An
Alaska wildlife center that takes
in orphaned and injured ani-
mals is missing one of its larger
residents.
The Alaska Wildlife Conser-
vation Center announced Mon-
day that a 300-pound, 2-year-old
female Kodiak brown bear es-
caped six days ago from its en-
closure near Portage. The bear
had been destined for a zoo in
Sweden in early summer.
The center is near Chugach
National Forest land in the
southernmost end of Anchor-
age, about 40 miles from down-
town. The bear was last seen
Tuesday night in mountains be-
tween the Portage and Placer
valleys, the center said. A spo-
keswoman for the Alaska De-
partment of Fish and Game said
the bear was not a public threat.
Its not like an escaped mur-
derer has gotten loose, said
Jessy Coltrane, the area biolo-
gist for Anchorage. Its just a
bear in the woods in an area
where we have lots of other
bears.
The bear had been named
Shaguyik, an Eskimo name for
ghost or shadow, according
to the center website.
Its the first time the center
has had an escape, said execu-
tive director Mike Miller.
We had our electric fence
turned off for maintenance and
during that time, something
spooked Shaguyik, Miller said
in the announcement. Unfortu-
nately, this years heavy snow
load required us to fix our elec-
tric fence and thats when the
incident occurred.
The bear climbed over the
fence to escape, said center
spokesman Ethan Tyler.
The bear was found on its
own in December 2010 on Ko-
diak Island at a season when
most bears were denned up for
the winter, according to the cen-
ters website. She was flown to
Anchorage for care. A veterinar-
ian spayed her in November.
She carries a microchip but is
not wearing a collar and has no
identifying tags. The nonprofit
center is the custodian of the
bear under a permit but it re-
mains the possession of the
state, Tyler said.
The center is the permanent
home of five bears. Shaguyik
and another young bear were
under the centers care until
they could be moved to a Swed-
ish zoo in June.

PITTSBURGH Dozens of
bomb threats at the University of
Pittsburgh, including at least
four on Monday, have prompted
professors to start holding class-
es outside and forced security of-
ficials to implement new build-
ing access measures and offer a
$50,000 reward
The threats began in mid-Feb-
ruary, at first targeting a land-
mark building at the center of
campus. But in recent weeks nu-
merous buildings have been
threatened. Four threats had
been made by mid-afternoon
Monday, starting at about 4 a.m.
It wasnt really until probably
a fewdays agothat this startedto
affect me, as far as my feelings of
security, said Dawn Diehl,
whos studying for a masters de-
gree in library science. So now
its pretty alarming. Weve never
had an experience like this. I
kind of have that feeling like,
wheres this going to end?
Diehl was surprised Monday
to find all but one door to the
main library locked and every-
ones bags being searched.
Under newsecurity measures,
students and faculty will need a
school ID to get into buildings.
Non-residents wont be permit-
tedindormitories, anda $50,000
reward is being offered for infor-
mation.
Brian Graham, a fifth-year
chemistry student, said the
threats began as being written
on walls in buildings, and he
hoped security would be able to
catch the perpetrator. But then
threats started arriving by email.
I think its a little bit more
nerve-racking, Graham said of
the latest wave.

Writer finds new council
receptive and responsive
K
udos to the members of the Luzerne
County Council!
Since the inception of the council I
have contacted its members several times
via email regarding matters such as the
disposition of the former Hotel Sterling
and, most recently, the countys proposed
ethics code.
I never expected to receive any re-
sponses. At best, all I expected was an
automatic email response saying some-
thing such as, Thank you for your interest
in county government. But to my surprise
I received personal and detailed responses.
The replies ranged from agreement to
disagreement, each detailing the council
members thoughts. I greatly appreciated
this discourse.
It is so refreshing to know we have a
government body in Luzerne County that
not only solicits ideas from the citizens,
but also listens to those thoughts, and
responds very intelligently.
Again, let me give praise to the council
and hope that the citizenry of Luzerne
County appreciates the work this fine
group can and will do.

nstead of downsizing Pennsylvanias

be?

Hey, why not go with volunteer legisla-

Dont take media bait
in Martin shooting case
T
he truths of the incident are still un-
known regarding the death of Trayvon
Martin, yet so many people are quick
to condemn, convict and sentence.
First, the liberal media are to blame
seemingly for intentionally race-baiting the
public. They used a photo of Martin at age
13. He was 17, and though they probably
had access to current photos, selected the
more incendiary outdated photo to pro-
mote the innocence of a young adolescent.
More obvious was their intentional choice
of a 7-year-old, unrelated mug shot of Ge-
orge Zimmerman.
None of us was at the scene of the in-
cident and knows what occurred; but were
all being played the puppet fools by a
media seemingly hellbent on inciting a
racially inflammatory event.
We need to gather our composure and
view only the fully presented facts and not
be swayed by explosive snippets and sound
bites.

Local business applauded
for observance of holiday
H
ats off to Beiters Home Center for its
advertisement and its decision to close
for three hours on Good Friday and all
day on Easter Sunday to celebrate the
resurrection of Christ.
Awesome! Glad to see that some people
prefer to do the right thing rather than
bow to the almighty dollar.
Its like the old days. Remember when
stores were closed not only on holidays,
but also every Sunday? Do you remember
when life moved at a much slower pace?
Before corruption and greed overtook us?
Its a shame that our children will never
know a true Sunday, when everything was
closed except church. Seems like everyone
was much happier back then, when we
took time to slow down and say thank you.
It would be nice to move back in that
direction and use a Sunday for what God
intended.
Thank you to Beiters for the memories.
Special thank-you to Jesus.

Animals were not meant
to perform circus tricks
I
n Fridays newspaper I read with a very
heavy heart about the circus coming to
Wilkes-Barre. When are people going to
realize that animals are not our toys?
These animals are taught to perform
acts that are unnatural and even harmful
to them. When was the last time you saw a
tiger eager to find a high wire in the jungle
just so he could balance on it? When have
you seen an elephant in the wild balancing
on his trunk, possibly damaging his spine
and neck?
I always thought humans were supposed
to be the more intelligent of all the species.
Well, the ones who protest these abom-
inations toward animals are the more in-
telligent.
Go to the Elephant Sanctuary site,
www.elephants.com, and you can read
about how many years it takes for an ele-
phant that was rescued from a circus to
learn how to live and behave like an ele-
phant is supposed to live.
I urge you to boycott any circus that has
performing animals in it.
If the circus animals are so happy to be
around their trainers, how about setting
the animals free? If they truly love the
circus atmosphere, then theyll come back.
But dont hold your breath.

Penn State alumna backs
candidate for trustee
P
enn State University has been facing
unprecedented challenges; a substan-
tial amount of work and sound lead-
ership is needed to navigate these rough
waters and to maximize the valuable con-
tributions that Penn Staters make in aca-
demics, social science, clinical research,
the arts, agriculture, technology, athletics
and numerous other disciplines.
Electing the next members of the uni-
versitys Board of Trustees is an issue that
has far-reaching implications, and with
Penn State alumni numbering more than
555,000 worldwide, it is a privilege that
many of The Times Leaders readers can
choose. Dues-paying alumni association
members or alumni benefactors automat-
ically will receive an electronic ballot on
April 10 to be submitted on or before May
3.
However, anyone with a Penn State
degree can request a ballot at

I enthusiastically endorse Rich Bundy
(Orrin R. Bundy III) for trustee. Ive
known Rich for 31 years. As a Penn State
Blue Band alumna, I can attest to the Penn
State love and loyalty that was modeled in
the Bundy home and nurtured in Rich
from his earliest days.
Not only is Richs dedication to Penn
States mission clear, but he has 20 years of
unparalleled practical experience in higher
education administration. At Penn State,
Rich was assistant director of annual giv-
ing. Currently he is vice president for
development and alumni relations at the
University of Vermont. He provided lead-
ership to Iowa States eight-year compre-
hensive fundraising campaign and he was
a major gifts officer at Michigan State.

HE LONG, ROBED
arm of the Supreme
Court has overreached
again, this time into a
mans underpants.
The court last week ruled
against a New Jersey man who
had been strip-searched, after a
traffic stop revealed that he had
an unpaid fine a fine that he
had, in fact, paid.
Albert Florence was a passen-
ger in a car driven by his preg-
nant wife. The police stopped
the car, and a check revealed
that Florence had an outstand-
ing civil fine. Despite the fact
that he hada receipt for the pay-
ment inthe cars glove compart-
ment, Florence was taken to jail
and strip-searched. It took six
days and another strip search
before charges were dismissed
and he was released from jail.
Evenwithout thesenightmar-
ish facts which the court con-
sidered irrelevant the 5-4 deci-
sion upholding the right of pris-
on officers to strip-search any-
one, for any reason, despite lack
of serious charges, is a chilling
affront to the Fourth Amend-
ment that protects against un-
reasonable search and seizure.
Both the cops in the case and
the justices of the court should
doanother search of their con-
sciences and their reason.

I
F MOVIEMAKERS ever
decide to put Luzerne
Countys dastardly juve-
nile justice scandal on
screen, the final scene probably
will look a lot like what unfold-
ed Monday afternoon in the
courthouse.
Asmiling, grandfatherly type
governor signs his name to new
laws drafted in response to the
misdeeds of two, corrupt coun-
ty judges and their fat cat cro-
nies, effectively signaling that
the bad guys got what they de-
serve and no harm will again
come to our children. The End.
Except, this shouldnot bethe
end of the kids-for-cash saga,
not yet.
Much remains to be done in
the real world of Pennsylvania
policy-setting and lawmaking
and regarding area residents
ethical conduct to rectify all
the things that leduptothe pre-
posterous crime, first made
public in January 2009. Only
you and like-minded people, in-
cluding angry moms and dads
disgusted at the blatant misuse
of power, can ensure those ac-
tions are taken in the months
and years ahead.
The good news: You have
blueprints to follow and plenty
of allies.
A specially formed group
calledthe InterbranchCommis-
sion on Juvenile Justice ex-
plored the scandal, gathering
testimony from more than 60
people, and released a report in
May2010withdozens of recom-
mendations. Similarly, the Phi-
ladelphia-based Juvenile Law
Center issued a string of sug-
gested reforms. (Visit
www.jlc.org and click on Lu-
zerne Kids-for-Cash Scandal.)
Kudos to state Sen. Lisa Bak-
er, R-Lehman Township, for
quickly seizing on some of
those ideas and spearheading a
four-part package of bills.
Thank you, also, to the many
state lawmakers from this re-
gion and beyond who enthusi-
astically backed the bills with
their votes.
Stalled, however, is Senate
Bill 816, which calls for the Of-
fice of VictimAdvocate torepre-
sent and advocate for the inter-
ests of victims of juvenilecrime.
Alsolagging, but expectedtobe
finalizedsoon, is aproposedlaw
that discourages court person-
nel from putting teenagers in
shackles.
Meanwhile, based on the rec-
ommendations issued nearly
two years ago, several practices
should be reviewed and proba-
bly adjusted within the state
Department of Education, the
Judicial Conduct Board, the
court system and other realms
dealing with juvenile crime.
That means adults like you
need to keep attention focused
on these important matters and
not let up.
After all, the dirty judges
wrongdoing became exposed
thanks largely toanunwavering
pursuit of justice on the part of
certain youths parents. Only a
similar passion will ensure that
this shameful scenario reaches
a fitting, if un-cinematic, con-
clusion.

investing in stabilizing the struc-
ture for possible future preserva-
tion.
The manager strongly advised
against this option, saying the
investment would drain at least
$6 million from the business
loan fund. The $6 million esti-
mate was provided two years
ago and could only escalate
due to roof and weather damage
since then, he wrote.
Such a commitment would
significantly reduce the funds
available for other, more imme-
diately productive, loan activ-
ity, he wrote.
Lawton said he toured the in-
side of the Sterling on April 5
and saw conditions that would
make stabilization a hazardous
undertaking. He also sawstruc-
tural problems conducive to im-
minent, local collapse.
Assessing structural integrity
is challenging because most of
the buildings critical floor sup-
port systems are encased in ce-
ment or concrete. Extensive,
costly testing of these systems
would be necessary before de-
signing a stabilization project,
he wrote.
His recommendation will be
discussed at tonights council
meeting, though Lawton made
it clear the matter is a policy de-
cision that ultimately rests with
council.
CityVest is out of funds andex-
pected to file for bankruptcy if
the county doesnt agree to take
over the project.
Lawton said Wilkes-Barre like-
ly would end up covering the
demolition tab if the county
doesnt get involved because the
city condemned the structure in
September. The city would then
be entitled to the first lien posi-
tion to recoup demolition costs
at resale, he said.
Leighton disappointed
Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom
Leighton said hes somewhat
disappointed in the recommen-
dation.
I just hope we still can have
some dialogue relative to it. The
building still has to come down,
he said.
Leighton said the county has
access to $1 million for demoli-
tion, but the city does not.
Nor do I think wed have the
capability to borrow it without
showing wed have the revenue
to pay it back, he said.
The mayor said he has asked
state and federal officials for
funding to demolish the struc-
ture but doesnt expect any as-
sistance.
Money is tight everywhere,
he said.
Public safety concerns
He said the condemnation
was necessary for public safety.
Traffic barriers around the Ster-
ling may need to be widened if
daily monitoring of the structure
reveals the need, Leighton said.
We may eventually have to
close Market and River streets
altogether if the building be-
comes in immediate danger of
collapse, he said.
The city had refused to waive
an estimated $50,000 in permit
fees to demolish the Sterling --
one of the holdups in an agree-
ment between the city, county
and CityVest needed to proceed
with demolition design.
Leighton said he doesnt be-
lieve the permit fees were a driv-
ing force in Lawtons recommen-
dation.
I think the county just decid-
ed to go in another direction, but
its a problem thats not going to
go away, he said.
Council members react
Several council members say
they agree with Lawtons recom-
mendation.
Council Chairman Jim Bo-
beck said it would be a bad fi-
nancial bet for the county to
fund the lions share of demoli-
tion. The city had agreed to pro-
vide about $250,000 in state
gaming funds toward demoli-
tion.
The countys made far too
many bad bets in the past, Bo-
beck said.
Councilwoman Elaine Mad-
don Curry said she will strongly
consider walking away.
The tragedy of the Hotel Ster-
ling is that apparently you can
spend $6 million of taxpayer
money and still utterly destroy a
historic building, she said.
Council Vice Chairwoman
Linda McClosky Houck said
shes concerned the countys
strapped general fund will be
tapped to cover unexpected
costs related to the property, and
theres no expectation the coun-
ty will recoup more than the
demolition expenses.
I dont think its the countys
problem, but it will be if we take
it over, she said.
The county is loaded with
properties that could use county
funding, including many flood-
damaged structures, said Coun-
cilman Edward Brominski. The
county shouldnt provide special
assistance bailing out one, he
said.
Councilman Rick Morelli said
he supports not using county
funding for the project but be-
lieves county officials should
still stay involved in discussing
other options.
Councilman Harry Haas, who
wants to see the building pre-
served, said he wont agree to
spend a cent on demolition and
believes Lawtons option is the
best because it will buy more
time for the building to stay
standing.
Councilman Rick Williams
said he hopes government lead-
ers can work out a solution.
My hope is that we dont have
encumbered traffic patterns for a
long time or the eyesore of the
Sterling, he said.
The Sterling Hotel is seen Thursday. Officials are worried the
structure is in danger of collapsing.
STERLING
Luzerne County Manager Robert
Lawton has started posting copies
of contracts hes approved on the
county website, www.luzernecoun-
ty.org.
Lawton said he would release docu-
ments to keep the public informed
about his actions.
Home rule allows the manager to
privately make decisions about
purchasing and personnel. Under
the previous system, county com-
missioners had to approve these
actions at public meetings.

The meeting will be broadcast live
on Service Electric Cables Chan-
nel 19. The television station spent
more than $12,000 on equipment
to broadcast two council meetings
per month as a public service, said
Scott Cannon, of Video Innova-
tions, which was hired by Service
Electric to handle the broadcast.

The charge filed by Wilkes-
Barre Township police said Ran-
kin was found with 25 heroin
packets inside his vehicle after he
struck another vehicle in the
Wyoming Valley Malls parking
lot on July 22, 2006, according to
the criminal complaint.
On Monday, Laurel Street was
closed from Kidder Street to
Scott Street andabout 50yards of
the sidewalk fromReyes Deli and
Grocery Store at 366 Scott St. to
380 Scott St.
Troopers with the Forensic
Services Unit spent most of Mon-
day searching the closed area.
Virginia Swift, who lives in an
apartment building at Scott and
Laurel streets, said she found out
about the shooting when she
awoke at 6 a.m. to walk her dog.
With the shooting taking place
lieved to be Rankin escaped from
the house out a window, Krawetz
said.
Krawetz said Rankin was mak-
ing suspicious movements as he
ran, causing the officer to believe
Rankin was reaching for a gun.
A news release from the city
stated Rankin did not comply
with verbal commands and made
(suspicious) movements. The
suspect was subsequently shot
by a Wilkes-Barre Police Officer.
It was not immediately known
if investigators recovered a gun
Rankin was allegedly carrying.
I know my child, said Ran-
kins mother, Mary Lee Lawson
of Philadelphia in a telephone in-
terview Monday afternoon. I
know he didnt pull no gun on a
police officer.
Lawson was traveling to
Wilkes-Barre late Monday after-
noon to learn more about why
her son was shot. She said there
was a confrontation involving an-
other son, David, with residents
in the same house over the week-
end.
Im upset the police shot my
son, Lawson said. Why
couldnt they Taser him, especial-
ly since he was running away.
State police and the Luzerne
County Detective Bureau are in-
vestigating because the shooting
involved a city police officer. The
officer has been placed on admin-
istrative paid leave.
County court records say Ran-
kin was sentenced in March 2007
to six to 18 months in the county
prison on a conviction of posses-
sion with intent to deliver a con-
trolled substance.

Swift said she is contemplating
leaving Wilkes-Barre.
Im definitely considering it
when my lease is up to move
away from Wilkes-Barre, she
said. It has me nervous. I have a
5-year-old daughter. It definitely
worries me.
Other recent home invasions
in the area:
A West Pittston woman told
police on March 19 that a man
climbed through a window, as-
saulted her and stole prescrip-
tion medications.
A man residing on Church
Street, Hanover Township, said
he was confronted by an armed
man and tied up in his house on
March 26. A second man entered
the house as the two suspects
stayed inside for about 90 min-
utes, stealing mostly electronics.
They fled in the mans Ford Fo-
cus, which was pursued by a
Wilkes-Barre police officer into
Monroe County. Police said the
suspects in the stolen car shot at
the pursuing officer.
Three men forced their way
into an elderly couples residence
on Pittston Boulevard, Bear
Creek Township, Saturday morn-
ing. The couple were bound and
blankets were placed over their
heads. The three men were in the
residence for about 90 minutes
before stealing a Nissan Frontier,
state police said.
Three men smashed a slid-
ingglass door toanapartment on
East Noble Street, Nanticoke,
and fired multiple shots inside
the apartment early Sunday
morning.

PA R K I N G R E V E N U E S
TULSA, Okla. The expla-
nation for a shooting rampage
that terrorized Tulsas black
neighborhood and left three
people dead may lie in a killing
that took place more than two
years ago.
Carl England, whosesonis ac-
cused in the weekend shooting
spree, was fatally shot in2010by
a man who had threatened his
daughter and tried to kick in the
door of her home.
The man was black, and po-
lice say Englands son may have
been seeking vengeance when
he and his roommate shot five
black people last week.
Police documents said the
two suspects have both con-
fessed. According to a police
statement, 19-year-old Jake En-
gland admitted shooting three
people and 32-year-old Alvin
Watts confessed to shooting
two.
Also Monday, the two sus-
pects appeared in court to have
their bond set at $9.16 million
each. Authorities have said they
expect to charge the pair with
three counts of first-degree mur-
der and other crimes.
Family and friends say Carl
Englands death sent his son in-
to a downward spiral. On Thurs-
day, Jake England apparently
wrote a Facebook post marking
the second anniversary of his fa-
thers death and lamented that
its hard not to go off.
Back in 2010, Carl England
had responded to his daughters
call for help and with her boy-
friend tracked down the man
who tried to break in. A fight
broke out, and the man took out
a gun and fired at England.
The man who pulled the trig-
ger, Pernell Jefferson, was not
charged with homicide because
an investigation determined he
acted in self-defense.
Jeffersonwas chargedwithat-
tempted burglary and a weap-
ons violation and had his proba-
tion revoked in an unrelated
weapons case for which he is
serving a six-year sentence. He
is scheduled to be tried in May
on the burglary charge.
According to an affidavit, Jef-
fersontriedtokickinthedoor of
the apartment Englands daugh-
ter shared with her boyfriend af-
ter the boyfriend hit him with a
baseball bat during an earlier
confrontation at the couples
home. When Carl England and
the boyfriend found Jefferson,
Jefferson came at England, who
hit Jefferson with a stick. Jeffer-
sonfell tothe ground, pulledout
a handgun and fatally shot the
elder England.
Jefferson fled but was arrest-
ed after seeking treatment for
his injuries at a hospital.
Watts brother, Gene, told the
Tulsa World that Watts moved
in with England after his father
died to help him rebuild his life
and deal with his anger, which
seemed to be racially focused.
Ive never known my brother
to be no racist or anything like
that, Gene Watts said. I know
he was going through a little bit
of depressionproblems, but oth-
er than that, hes got in little
scuffles before, but hes never
went off and done this.
Alicia Houston, who lives
near the roommates, told the
newspaper she has known En-
gland since he was a child and
from the time his father died,
that boy has been somebody
else. She said England needed
therapy from the beginning
but didnt receive it. He was tak-
ing medication for depression,
she said.
The January suicide of En-
glands fiance, only months af-
ter she gave birth to their son,
made matters worse. Sheran
Hart Wilde died from a self-in-
flicted gunshot to the head on
Jan. 10, according to the state
medical examiners office.
All those killed in the spree
were apparently random tar-
gets.

NEW YORK Sean Payton now
knows for certain he wont be coaching
in 2012.
And the NewOrleans Saints must fig-
ure out whether Bill Parcells or some-
one else is best suited to take over a
team seeking its fourth straight trip to
the playoffs.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell
on Monday rejected the Saints appeals
of their unprecedented punishment
stemming from the
leagues investigation
of the clubs bounty
system. The program
offered cash bonuses
for big hits that
knocked targeted op-
ponents out of games
or hurt them enough
that they required help getting to the
sideline.
Inadditionto upholding Paytons sus-
pension, which begins next Monday
and runs through the Super Bowl in
NewOrleans next season Goodell al-
so upheld suspensions of eight games
for general manager Mickey Loomis
and six games for assistant head coach
Joe Vitt, along with a $500,000 fine for
the franchise and the loss of second-
round draft picks this year and next.
Loomis, who declined comment
Monday, and Vitt begin their suspen-
sions after the preseason ends.
The Saints case represents perhaps
the starkest example yet of the sea
change that the NFL has undergone
since medical research and media re-
ports on the long-termdamage suffered
by football players through concussions
began to gain attention a few years ago.
While former players say off-the-
books incentives have been around for
years, and current players say the tough
talk about getting after specific oppo-
nents happens in locker rooms through-
out the NFL, Goodell responded to the

reason to feel like a rock star.
His playoff win at the Masters on the
second extra hole stretched into early
evening, and when he finally slipped on
the green jacket during the trophy pre-
sentation, the flashes from so many
cameras danced across his face like
strobe lights.
Imnot ready for fame, Watsonsaid.
I dont really want to be famous or any-
thing like that. I just want to be me and
play golf.
He might not have a choice. His style
of play Bubba golf is what he likes
to call it already made himone of the
popular figures on the PGA Tour.
In the buttoned-up sport of golf, Wat-
son is different. He hits the ball a mile,
rarely in a straight line to where hes try-
ing to get. His driver is pink from the
shaft to the head. When hes not on the
course, he is posting videos of his crazy
stunts on Twitter. His dream purchase
was the General Lee 01, the original
car in the TV series The Dukes of Haz-
ard.
And nowhe is the Masters champion.

hitter until a softly hit grounder
in the sixth inning ended her
campaign. Her effort Monday en-
abled the Tigers to a 7-0 victory
over Mountaineers.
It was an outstanding effort,
Tunkhannock coach John Keefe.
We had another excellent per-
formance by Jamie. But we were
benefited by a lot of girls who hit
the ball well today.
The Tunkhannock rightys bid
came to a halt when Dallas lead-
off hitter Taylor Kelley made con-
tact witha ball that abruptlystop-
ped between the pitchers mound
and third base. Two batters later,
Katy Comitz lined up the middle
for the Mountaineers only other
hit of the game.
Im glad to see them get the
second hit, Keefe said. Because
Id hate to see that little bloop be
the only hit.
Despite a limited strike zone
and windy conditions, it proved
to be one of Jamie Hampseys fin-

PHILADELPHIA- With a towel draped
over his head, slugger Ryan Howard ap-
peared to be in disguise as he headed to-
ward his locker.
Without him and Chase Utley, its also
hard to recognize the Philadelphia Phil-
lies lineup anymore.
Instead of depending on a potent mid-
dle of the batting order that powered the
teams run of five consecutive National
League East titles, the Phillies were
forced to rely on the first major league hit
by Freddy Galvis for their only runs Mon-
day in a 6-2 loss to the newly-renamed
Miami Marlins.
That was good news for Galvis, who
went 0-for-12 as the replacement at sec-
ond base for the injured Utley and his
knee problems before a two-rundouble in
the seventhinninggave Galvis his first hit
and first RBIs as a Phillie.
"As soon as I got to second, I felt much
better," Galvis said.
But the Phillies offense is still sneez-
ing.
A disappointed crowd of 45,574
watched quietly at Citizens Bank Park as
the Phillies lost their home opener for the
first time in three years.
That was the third consecutive loss for
the Phillies after Roy Halladay pitched
eight shutout innings in a season-open-
ing 1-0 victory Thursday. Since then, the
Phillies have scored just seven runs in
three games, and are averaging just two
runs per game out of the gates.
"I want togoout andscore10runs, who
wouldnt?" said Phillies outfielder Shane
Victorino. "(But) four games in, theres
no reason to sit here in a state of panic.
Ive got 12 at-bats. Im going to have 600
during the season. Everybodys in a state
of panic because we dont have the big

Both opened the season on the disabled

T
hey insist there is no cause for
concern, no reason to worry,
no sense of alarm.
Then why are sirens going off
when the Philadelphia Phillies start
swinging the bats?
They couldnt score again Monday,
when even a home opener in front of
a 205th consecutive sellout crowd at
Citizens Bank Park wasnt enough to
inspire much offense from the soft-
swinging Phillies.
They managed just two runs dur-
ing a 6-2 loss to the Miami Marlins.
But thats about average for the
Phillies, who have scored just eight
runs through their first four games.
"Ive been on teams like this where
you dont hit early, you just get it
late and start hitting," Phillies out-
fielder Juan Pierre said. "I have faith
and confidence. Itll come around."
But when?
Tomorrow? Next week? Next
month?
"Everybodys trying to find answers
for whats going on," Phillies center
fielder Shane Victorino said.
From the moment they realized
their top run-producers Chase Utley
and Ryan Howard were going on the
disabled list to open the 2012 season,
the Phillies knew it was going to be
a struggle to score.
They just didnt think theyd have
to scrap this much.
"I dont care what weve got," Phil-
lies manager Charlie Manuel said,
"give them to me, Ill work with
them."
What the Phillies have right now
is a problem.
Theyre stacked with one of the
premier pitching rotations in base-
ball, with Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee and
Cole Hamels all capable of shutting
down opponents each time they take
the mound.
But they cant win if they cant
score.
Halladay opened the season by
shutting out Pittsburgh in a 1-0 victo-
ry Thursday. And the Phillies havent
won since.
They lost a 2-1 game in extra in-
nings, when Lee pitched brilliantly.
They blew a four-run lead in Pitts-
burgh and lost 5-4 Sunday. And they
were beaten 6-2 by Miami on Mon-
day in a game where Hamels had
nine strikeouts but surrendered four
runs.
"The motto weve always had was
being the Fightin Phils, Hamels
said. "Weve just got to keep fighting
and good things will happen."
Fightin Phils?
More like Flailin Phils.
They got a mini-rally started in the
bottom of the seventh inning Mon-
day, when Utleys sub - a kid in-
fielder named Freddy Galvis - deliver-
ed a two-run double for his first hit
and first RBI in the big leagues.
That cut the Phillies deficit to 5-2.
And that was the last baserunner
the Phillies got.
"When youre not getting hits,"
Manuel said, "the games not too
much fun."
Instead, the Phillies turned it into
funny follies.
When Hamels fielded a soft chop-
per and fired it to first base in the
sixth inning, nobody was there to
field his throw. The single and two-
base error turned into a run for the
Marlins, and only added to Philadel-
phias frustration.
Because every error, every mistake
pitch, every wrong step gets magni-
fied as the pressure mounts to play
perfect defense when scoring runs
becomes such a struggle.
"Thats another part we need to
start focusing on," Victorino said,
"dont give the other team extra
outs. Right now, its kind of like a
snowball. Things are rolling down
the hill."

BUL L E T I N BOARD
Fearless Diablo looks to go a perfect two-for-two with another win
in tonights second leg of the Bobby Weiss Series. Last week the Dy-
lan Davis trainee was dead game in fending off a pesky Ideal Champ,
towinina solid1:52.4. This eveningthefour-year oldsonof Art Major
is going to need that and maybe a little more drawing outside of that
same rival. But with his ability to win on or off the pace, I look for
red-hot driver JimMorrill tohaveFearless Diablointheright position
when it matters and once again hand defeat to Ideal Champ in that
what should be a barn-burner of a tenth race!

NEW YORK Daniel Mur-
phy singled home the winning
run in the ninth inning and the
undefeated New York Mets
took advantage of a throwing
error by reliever Henry Rodri-
guez to beat the Washington
Nationals 4-3 on Monday
night.
Kirk Nieuwenhuis hit his
first major league homer for
the Mets, who are 4-0 for the
first time since 2007. Coming
off a surprising three-game
sweep of Atlanta to start the
season, New York rallied from
a three-run deficit before a
crowd of 23,970.
Several fans left Citi Field
chanting Undefeated! Unde-
feated! The Mets received
another excellent effort from a
retooled bullpen that ranked
28th in the majors last season
with a 4.33 ERA. Miguel Batis-
ta got out of trouble in the
sixth, Ramon Ramirez escaped
a seventh-inning jam with a
double-play ball and Jon Rauch
(1-0) worked two hitless in-
nings for his first win with New
York.
Cardinals 7, Reds 1
CINCINNATI Matt Holli-
day, David Freese and Yadier
Molina homered during the St.
Louis Cardinals big first in-
ning, and Jake Westbrook
found his control after a rough
start, beating the Cincinnati
Reds.
The defending World Series
champions improved to 4-1
with an offense that hasnt
missed Albert Pujols so far.
Giants 7, Rockies 0
DENVER Barry Zito
threw a four-hitter for his first
shutout in nine years and Pablo
Sandoval hit a two-run homer
to lead the San Francisco Gi-
ants to a win over the Colorado
Rockies.
Zito (1-0), who hasnt lost to
Colorado since Sept. 25, 2008
a span of nine starts
allowed three harmless singles
and a double. He didnt walk a
batter and struck out four in
tossing his fifth career shutout
and first since April 18, 2003,
against Texas.
Astros 8, Braves 3
HOUSTON Travis Buck
drove in two runs, Justin Max-
well homered in his Houston
debut and the Astros rebound-
ed from an early deficit thanks
to sloppy defensive play by the
Atlanta Braves in a win.
The loss drops Atlanta to 0-4
for the first time since losing 10
straight to open the 1988 sea-
son. The Astros are 3-1 after
finishing last season with base-
balls worst record.
Brewers 7, Cubs 5
CHICAGO Aramis Rami-
rez drove in two runs in his
return to Wrigley Field, Ryan
Braun got booed relentlessly
and the Milwaukee Brewers
hung on to beat the Chicago
Cubs.
The Brewers were sailing
along with a four-run lead
going into the ninth when
things got real interesting. The
Cubs scored two runs and
loaded the bases before John
Axford struck out Starlin Cas-
tro looking on three pitches to
end the game.

Ozzie Guillen will return to
Miami from Philadelphia to
apologize again for a remark
he made about Fidel Castro
that has angered Cuban
Americans, with at least two
local officials saying he should
lose his job.
There was also a backlash
at the state level. The
chairman of the Florida
Hispanic Legislative Caucus
called for punitive measures
against Guillen.
Five games into his tenure
as Marlins manager, Guillen
planned to fly to Miami and
apologize Tuesday at Marlins
Park. The Marlins and Phillies
are off Tuesday before their
series in Philadelphia resumes
Wednesday. Guillen told Time
magazine he loves Castro and
respects the Cuban leader for
staying in power so long.

STANDINGS/STATS
BOSTON Fenway Park is
ready for its 100th birthday and
the Boston Red Sox are planning
a big party.
After a decade of renovations
to the majors oldest ballpark, the
team has put on some finishing
touches to get it ready for this
season. The home opener is Fri-
day, and a week later the Red Sox
will celebrate the anniversary of
Fenways opening on April 20,
1912, when they play the New
York Yankees.
The festivities started on Mon-
day, when the Harvard baseball
team took batting and fielding
practice to mark the 100th anni-
versary of their 1912 exhibition
game against the Red Sox the
first game played at Fenway. Har-
vard and Red Sox alum Mike
Stenhouse pitched batting prac-
tice.
Harvard baseball is thrilled to
be included in the birthday cele-
bration at Fenway Park, Crim-
son baseball coach Joe Walsh
said. Our guys look forward to
any chance to set foot on a major
league baseball diamond in
this case a batting practice ses-
sion where many will take aimat
the Green Monster. These are
special moments that all young
baseball players dreamabout and
Harvard has been fortunate to
have these opportunities every
few years.
Although past years offseason
renovations included visible and
popular additions such as the
Monster Seats and new con-
courses, this years work was de-
signed to put the finishing tou-
ches on a decade of work.
Among the additions:
A patio of inscribed bricks
purchased by fans. More than
18,500 were sold. Also featured
are 35 handprints from influen-
tial figures in Red Sox and Fen-
way Park history, including Bob-
by Doerr, Dennis Eckersley, Carl-
ton Fisk, JimRice and Carl Yastr-
zemski.
Plaques around the park ex-
plaining points of interest, such
as Canvas Alley and the Red
Sox clubhouse.
Season ticket-holders club,
featuring historic panels and arti-
facts tracing the history of the
team and the ballpark. The high-
light: a collection of baseballs au-
tographed by the World Series
teams from every season since
1920 (one is missing). It was
loaned to the team by a donor
who has chosen to remain anony-
mous.
Also Monday, the team gave
Mayor Tom Menino a tour. Be-
cause Menino was in a walking
boot, he was driven around by
Red Sox president Larry Lucchi-
no in the bullpen cart that was
used from1968-78 to bring reliev-
ers into the game.
The cart was restored and will
be displayed as part of the ball-
parks Living Museum theme.

Continued fromPage 1B
BLOOMINGTON, Ind.
Mark Lenzi struck gold when he
switched from wrestling to div-
ing in the mid-1980s.
Over the next decade, he be-
came the 1992 Olympic 3-meter
springboard champion, earned a
bronze medal four years later in
Atlanta and became the first
driver to score 100 points on a
single dive.
On Monday, Lenzi, the last
American male diver to win
Olympic gold, died at the age of
43 in Greenville, N.C.
Lenzis alma mater, Indiana
University,
posted the an-
nouncement
on its web site
but did not pro-
vide a cause of
death. His
mother, Ellie,
told the fam-
ilys hometown newspaper, The
Free Lance-Star of Fredricks-
burg, Va., that Lenzi had been
hospitalized the past two weeks
because of fainting spells that
were caused by low blood pres-
sure.
Mark came from a wrestling
background and the goal of any
wrestler is to pin you, former
Olympic teammate and current
Texas divingcoachMatt Scoggin
told USA Diving. When Mark
got into a contest, he was going
topinyou. I remember before his
first World Cup, he was going to
win 1-meter, I thought there was
no way it was my third World
Cup and I was still trying to get
onthepodium. Hewon. Hewas a
very confident competitor.
It almost didnt happen.
Lenzi was wrestling in high
school when he was suddenly
captivated by Greg Louganis re-
markable Olympics perform-
ance in 1984. Lenzi quickly
changed sports and dove right
into his new passion.
In 1989, he swept the Big Ten
titles in the 1-meter, 3-meter and
platform competitions, then
went on to win the first of his
back-to-back 1-meter national
championships in 89. He was se-
lected the NCAAs diver of the
year in 1989 and 1990.
But Lenzi was just beginning
to emerge on the international
stage.
His victory on the 3-meter
board at the Barcelona Olympics
gave the Americans their third
straight title in that event. Four
years later, following a brief re-
tirement, Lenzi earned an Olym-
pic bronze medal.
No American male diver has
won an Olympic diving medal
since Lenzi in 96.
Mark grabbed onto a dream,
Scoggin said. He wasnt going
to believe anything was impossi-
ble. It was amazing how rapidly
he became an Olympic cham-
pion.
Lenzis impressive resume in-
cludes 18 international spring-
board championships.

those abilities a bit more than
if she were at a place where
she could only play one sport,
softball coach Bill Higley said.
The coach feels that Rava
has improved in every aspect
of her game.
We changed her swing and
approach at the plate and she
has become a much better
contact hitter, Higley said. As
for her pitching, she is starting
to develop more off-speed
pitches and, most importantly,
has the confidence to throw
them in any situation.
The Defenders are 12-10 but
have suffered some tough loss-
es, especially with Rava on the
mound. When not pitching,
shes playing second base a
position she has never played
before.
Its been a learning curve
for her but her self-sacrifice
and determination to play well
there has been a great example
of leadership to her team-
mates, Higley said. She is a
fierce competitor but she is
also the one leading the team
in all the fun things.
FRITZGES SOLID ON THE
COURT Junior Eric Fritzges
(Dallas) is having a good
spring playing with the El-
izabethtown mens tennis team.
Fritzges is 7-4 at No. 3 sin-
gles and 8-3 at No. 2 doubles.
He won both in 9-0 victories
over Messiah and Stevenson
and won his singles match in a
6-3 loss to Division I La Salle.
Erics game has matured a
great deal over the last two
years, coach Matt Helsel said.
He can grind out a point if
needed, or he can switch to
offense when the opportunities
arise. He is tireless from the
baseline and can rally with
anyone.
The coach feels that Fritzges
backhand and net game have
dramatically improved to make
him a well-rounded player with
various weapons.
Just as Erics game has
developed, so have his lead-
ership skills, Helsel said. He
takes an active interest in help-
ing teammates at practice and
rooting for them during match-
es. He is a vital asset to our
school and our program, both
on and off the court.
FROSH DUO AT HOOD
Freshmen Jackie Yurchak and
Alison Schuetz, teammates at
Hazleton Area last season, are
members of the Hood softball
team.
The versatile Yurchak has
caught and played shortstop
and left field for the young
Blazers who are 7-20 under
first-year coach Terry Burdette.
Yurchak is hitting just .172
(11-for-64) but had three hits in
a recent 6-2 loss to Wesley.
Jackie was one of our
recruited freshmen and has
been a vital part of our team
this year, Burdette said. Her
versatility defensively has been
a real strength. Her hitting has
steadily improved and I expect
her to continue to develop as a
power hitter.
Burdette didnt recruit
Aaron Zack is a plebe at the
Naval Academy but hes al-
ready made a name for himself
with the mens outdoor track
team.
Zack (Crestwood) has com-
peted in the javelin in four
meets thus far this spring. He
finished third in his first meet
(184-2) at the Point Loma
Open in San Diego, Calif. and
then finished third (185-7) in a
five-team meet in Annapolis,
Md. He recorded his first colle-
giate victory when he captured
the javelin at the Maryland
Invitational with a personal
best toss of 190 feet.
Last weekend, Zack finished
third (189-08) to help the Mid-
shipmen edge Army 102 -100
in the annual Star Meet.
Zacks on pace to qualify for
the IC4A meet and could score
at the Patriot League Cham-
pionships, throws coach Chris
Campbell said. He is a very
hard worker and he is very
dedicated.
Zack, whose senior brother
Gary is a standout thrower for
Moravian College, didnt get
into the Academy after high
school so he went to Wilkes
for a year. He got good grades
and then got picked to go to
the Academy this year.
Aaron is very knowledgeable
about the javelin and Im sure
his older brother is a role mod-
el for him, Campbell said.
Hes a great kid and I think he
is going to do great things.
Hes just a plebe (freshman)
right now but next year with
youngster (sophomore) legs
underneath him, he should
throw even farther.
DUO HELPS PANTHERS
Sophomore Matt Wotherspoon
(Crestwood) and junior Sam
Parente (Pittston and Lacka-
wanna College) are having
solid seasons with the Pitts-
burgh baseball team.
Wotherspoon, a 6-foot-1,
175-pound right-hander, has
made eight starts for the Pan-
thers and is 2-1 with a 5.56
earned run average. Hes
worked 45
1
3 innings and given
up 44 hits and 33 runs, 28
earned. Hes walked 23 and
leads the team with 48 strike-
outs.
Wotherspoon had his best
game to date when he pitched
a nine-inning complete game in
a 3-1 triumph over Michigan
State. He gave up seven hits
and an earned run with two
walks and a career-high 13
strikeouts.
Matt has done a great job,
coach Joe Jordano said. Pitch-
ing on the weekend is a major
accomplishment, especially for
a sophomore. He has transi-
tioned well and works very
hard. He has a bright future
and is a great young man.
After a slow start, Parente is
hitting .371 (23-for-62) with
four doubles, eight RBI and 11
runs scored.
Sam is starting to heat up,
Jordano said. We initially had
him at first base and now have
him at third base and he con-
tinues to develop defensively
and he is swinging the bat
well. Sam is a tough player and
a solid addition to our team.
The Panthers are 14-15 over-
all and 2-7 in the Big East
Conference.
DOUBLE DUTY FOR RAVA
Sophomore Kacee Rava
(Coughlin) is doing the job at
the plate and on the mound for
the Baptist Bible softball team.
Rava, also a standout basket-
ball player for the Defenders, is
hitting .390 (23-for-59) with
eight doubles, a triple, three
home runs and 21 RBI. Shes
scored 14 runs. On the mound,
shes 5-7 with a save and has a
3.21 earned run average. Shes
worked 76.1 innings and given
up 94 hits and 52 runs, 35
earned. Shes walked 22 and
struck out 35.
Kacee is a great athlete and
going to a small school like
ours allows her to showcase
Schuetz. In fact, she wasnt
planning to play softball.
We lost a pitcher due to
health issues and were down to
just two pitchers, Burdette
said. Jackie told me that her
high school and travel ball
teammate was already at Hood,
I began talking to Alison about
playing for us.
Since joining the team,
Schuetz has pitched in eight
games with five starts and has
a 1-4 record and a 5.07 earned
run average. She had here best
effort with a complete-game,
seven-inning performance in a
6-1 triumph over Wesley. She
gave up just four hits.
During the Wesley game,
the ump asked me between
innings where I got this pitch-
er, Burdette said. I told I got
her from the math department.
Alison has the potential to be a
very strong pitcher.
CHRISMER HELPING
BULLDOGS Junior Derek
Chrismer (Crestwood) is bat-
ting .324 (22-for-68) for the
DeSales baseball team. He has
six doubles, 12 RBI, 10 runs
scored and has stolen six bases
in six attempts.
Derek is a key member and
leader on the ball club, coach
Tim Neiman said. He has
been slow to recover from
off-season surgery but still
contributes at the plate and
defensively when called upon.
Hes a clutch player in the
middle of the lineup and defi-
nitely a guy you want at the
plate with the game on the
line.
The Badgers, 15-8 overall
and 9-1 in the Freedom Confer-
ence, are also getting pitching
help from freshman Tyler Sobo-
leski (Berwick). The left-hand-
er has pitched in two games
and worked three innings,
giving up three hits and a run.
Tyler continues to make
strides adjusting to the college
game, Neiman said. Tyler
will make an impact on the
staff as the season progresses
and play a key role in the fu-
ture.
MEDVECKY FITTING IN
Freshman John Medvecky (Ha-
zleton Area) has played in 18
games and started 12 for the
Albright baseball team.
The 6-foot, 175-pound in-
fielder is hitting .263 (10-fof-38)
with two doubles, four RBI and
eight runs scored. In the field,
he has made three errors on 42
chances (.929).
John has been a pleasant
surprise, coach Jeff Feiler
said. He has proven to be a
very solid defensive third base-
man. Hes a hard-nosed kid
who isnt afraid to put his body
in front of the ball to knock it
down and make the play. Of-
fensively, he is doing a nice job
making adjustments in order to
be more successful against
collegiate pitching. His bat has
started to become a little more
consistent in the last few
weeks.
The Lions are 10-15 overall
and 3-4 in the Commonwealth
Conference.

B I L L A R S E N A U L T
Javelin thrower Zack is
starting to earn recognition
with strong showings.
Saints case by handing out stern
penalties.
Former defensive coordinator
Gregg Williams, who left the
Saints after last season to join
the St. Louis Rams, ran the
bounty program and has been
suspended indefinitely. He did
not appeal.
Goodell said in a statement if
Payton, Loomis and Vitt em-
brace the opportunity and par-
ticipate in a constructive way,
he would consider reducing the
financial penalties on them.
While none of them has been
fined, each will lose significant
amounts while not being paid
their salaries during the suspen-
sions.
Goodell also would consider
whether there are factors that
would support modifying the
forfeiture of the teams 2013 sec-
ond-round draft choice.
The commissioners latest de-
cisioncouldopenthe way for the
Saints to coax Parcells Pay-
tons mentor since their days to-
gether in Dallas out of retire-
ment.
Parcells, a Hall of Fame final-
ist who turns 71 in August, has
saidhe wouldconsider coaching
the Saints if askedtohelphis for-
mer protege. PaytonandLoomis
played golf with the former NFL
coach during NFL meetings in
south Florida last month to talk
to him about the teams predica-
ment.
Paytons suspension was sup-
posed to begin April 1, but he
was allowed to continue work-
ing while his appeal was pend-
ing, delaying plans to select an
interim coach.
If the Saints decide to hire an
interim coach from outside the
organization, as would be the
case with Parcells, the club also
wouldhavetointerviewaminor-
ity candidate to comply with the
NFLs Rooney Rule.
Parcells, who won two Super
Bowls with the NewYork Giants
andtook the NewEnglandPatri-
ots to a Super Bowl, has not
coached since retiring from the
Cowboys after the 2006 season,
though he then worked in Mia-
mis front office.
The Saints also could decide
to promote from within the cur-
rent staff.
There are three strong candi-
dates among Saints assistants to
takeover as interimcoach: offen-
sive coordinator Pete Carmi-
chael, defensive coordinator
Steve Spagnuolo and offensive
line coach Aaron Kromer. Pay-
ton expressed confidence in the
abilities of his assistants to com-
pensate for his absence, but also
has voiced some misgivings
about saddling those coaches
with additional responsibilities.
Vitt also could be a candidate
to step in, as he did briefly last
season when Payton broke his
leg, once his suspension ends.
Loomis will be able to oversee
the draft and handle other roster
moves. Whenthe preseasoncon-
cludes, he will serve his suspen-
sion for failing to put a stop to
the bounty system in a timely
way.
With all the uncertainty, Pay-
tonhadbeenworkinglonghours
at the Saints suburban New Or-
leans headquarters trying to
cram as much planning for 2012
into whatever time he had left.
Payton has said he laid out
plans for the offseason training
program and the beginning of
training camp, up until the
Saints play Arizona inthe Hall of
Fame game Aug. 5 in Canton,
Ohio.
The NFL has said Williams
bounty system, which ran from
2009 through 2011, offered cash
payments of $1,500 for knock-
outs, in which an opposing
player was knocked out of a
game, or $1,000 for cart-offs, in
which an opponent needed help
off the field. The league has said
the bounty pool grew as large as
$50,000, reaching its height in
the 2009 season, when New Or-
leans won its only Super Bowl.
SAINTS
Continued from Page 1B
manager Charlie Manuel said of
his slugging first baseman. "But
I couldnt put him in the lineup."
If only.
Instead, all the big hits are
coming from the other side.
Miamis Omar Infante belted
the first of his two homers off
Phillies starter Cole Hamels -
who also surrendered a both a
run-scoring single and RBI dou-
ble to cleanup man Gaby San-
chez before departing in the
sixth inning with the Phillies
down 4-0.
Infante later added another
solo homer off reliever Joe Sav-
ery in the seventh inning, and
Austin Kearns deposited the
first pitch new Phillies closer Jo-
nathan Papelbon threw at Citi-
zens Bank Park deep over the
left field wall in the ninth in-
ning.
"I felt like I made some very
good pitches," Hamels said.
"Unfortunately, there were a few
pitches that got away."
The Phillies didnt exactly
make things go their way.
They left Jimmy Rollins
standing at second base twice
and Hunter Pence died there
once over the first six innings as
the Phillies couldnt come up
with a clutch hit.
In fact, they had just three
hits over the first six innings,
until a mini-rally in the bottom
of the seventh.
Victorino and John Mayberry
Jr. began the inning with sin-
gles, and after Carlos Ruiz reac-
hed on a fielders choice, Galvis
drove his two-run double into
the left-center field gap.
"To see him get that hit in
that situation was very big," Vic-
torino said.
Only for a fleeting moment,
though.
Galvis blast finished Marlins
starter Anibal Sanchez, and
three Miami relievers retired the
final eight Phillies in order to
close out the Marlins second
victory of the season.
"We havent been scoring
runs," said Manuel, after his
Phillies fell to 1-3 at the seasons
start. "Were four games in and
the bottom line is we havent
been hitting the ball hard
enough to score runs. Weve def-
initely got to move the ball a
little bit better than that."
PHILLIES
The returns of Howard and
Utley, whenever they come
back, should help stop the
slide.
But the Phillies cant wait
for that, or they may be bur-
ied by an avalanche of de-
spair.
They need to run and bunt
and scratch out runs any way
they can, the way they talked
about doing through spring
training.
"Weve talked about playing
without the big boppers and
playing small ball," Victorino
said. "Which way are we go-
ing to approach this game?"
The approach the Phillies
took in their home opener
was appalling to Phillies fans.
The Phillies managed just
six hits against the Marlins.
Three of those came in a
two-run seventh inning. None
came while the Phillies final
eight batters were going down
in order.
"We havent been hitting
the ball good," Manuel said.
"Can we? Well find out."
You wont find a hint of
self-doubt in the Phillies, even
after dropping to 1-3 by losing
their third straight game and
first home opener since 2009.
"Its four games in. Theres
no reason to sit here in a
state of panic," Victorino said.
"Its a long season," May-
berry Jr. said.
If the Phillies dont figure
out how to start producing
runs, it could be a longer
road back to the top.

as a U.S. Open champion with
the rawest skill of any player in
his 20s.
And now there is Bubba, on
a first-name basis everywhere
he goes.
Perhaps it was only fitting
that during his victory speech
Sunday he found one down-
side to winning the Masters.
He has been in the members
locker room since he first
showed up at Augusta Nation-
al in 2008 and couldnt break
70. The next time he drives
down Magnolia Lane, he will
walk through a different door,
up the stairs to the locker room
reserved for champions.
I heard now that I leave the
locker room, Watson said.
Its going to be sad. Ive been
there for four years. I know all
the guys. They treat me real
well. So, sorry.
Its time to move on, and
move up.
Watson, with his fourth ca-
reer win in his last 51 starts, is
now No. 4 in the world, which
makes him the highest-ranked
American. He is virtually a
lock to be at Medinah for an-
other Ryder Cup. It was the
second time in the last six ma-
jors that Watson has been in a
playoff, losing to Martin
Kaymer at the 2010 PGA
Championship. He has earned
more than $3 million in each of
the last two seasons and
played in his first Ryder Cup.
Howmuch better can he be?
Major champion ... I mean,
cant do any better than this,
he said. Ive won four times
and won a major. Who knows?
Thats the best part about his-
tory. We dont know whats go-
ing to happen. We dont know
the future. We dont know any-
thing. Hopefully, I keep crying.
Hopefully, I keep having the
passion to play golf and keep
doing what Im doing.
Watson showed his emo-
tions at the start of the week.
Stopped under the oak tree af-
ter a practice round, someone
asked him what it would mean
to win, and he brought up the
adoption of his first son, Caleb,
two weeks ago. Watson got so
choked up he walked away.
Winning the Masters? He
was uncontrollable.
He sobbed on the shoulder
of his mother, Molly. He
hugged everyone he could find
caddie Ted Scott, his trainer
and players who stuck around
to see him go two extra holes
for a green jacket, such as Ben
Crane, Aaron Baddeley and
Rickie Fowler.
Watson is a self-described
goof, yet he looked more deter-
mined than ever at the Mas-
ters.
Sunday at Augusta was a su-
preme test.
He started three shots out of
the lead, andtwo holes into the
final round, he watched Louis
Oosthuizen make an albatross
on the par-5 second hole with a
4-iron that landed on the front
of the green and rolled some
90 feet into the cup for a 2.
That put him four shots be-
hind, though Watson knew he
could make up ground, and he
was right. The turning point
came after his bogey on the
par-3 12th, when mud on his
ball sent his putt behind the
green off line and some 6 feet
by the hole. Watsonranoff four
straight birdies, all of themim-
pressive a 9-iron for his sec-
ond shot on the par-513th for a
two-putt birdie, a sand wedge
to 5 feet on the 14th, another
massive drive for a 7-iron onto
the green at the par-5 15th and
an 8-iron to 4 feet at the 16th.
Still, this Masters will be re-
membered for two wild shots
in the playoff. One was an acci-
dent. The other was on pur-
pose.
After he and Oosthuizen
each missed birdie chances on
the 18th in a playoff, Watson
pulled his drive into the trees
to the right of the 10th fairway.
When he saw his ball deep in
the woods, he immediately
pictured the shot in his head.
Not many others could have
seen it.
He used the crowd as a line
for how he wanted to start the
gap wedge from 155 yards
straight to the fairway, low
enough to stay under a large
limb and then a wild hook to-
ward the green.
Hooked it about 40 yards,
hit about 15 feet off the ground
until it got under the tree and
then started rising, he said.
Pretty easy.
It set up a two-putt par from
10 feet, enough for the win
when Oosthuizen chipped 12
feet by the hole andtwo-putted
for bogey.

ROUBAIX, France Lionel Messi,
Roger Federer and ... Tom Boonen.
Granted, Boonen isnt the global mega-
star those other two are, but theyre
alike in that they tower above others in
their sport.
On a bicycle over cobblestones,
theres never been anyone better than
Boonen. To the layman, that might not
seem much of a claim to fame. But in
cycling, it makes Boonen something of
a god. This sport has built a whole
tradition of venerating hard men who
win hard races the hard way. Boonen
on Sunday won the hardest one-day
race there is, for a record-tying fourth
time, and did it the hardest way pos-
sible alone.
For 53 kilometers (32 miles), Boo-
nen rode solo at the front of Paris-
Roubaix, his long, muscular legs inexo-
rably churning him forward over the
brutally bumpy cobblestones that
make this race a monument in cycling,
as cherished by hard-core fans as Le
Mans in motorsport and footballs
clasico matches between Barcelona
and Real Madrid.
The cobblestone tracks through
French farmland shake loose nuts and
bolts, puncture tires and spill riders.
The rattle and shake of gripping han-
dlebars over them is so exhausting,
like holding a jackhammer for hours,
that many of the 113 riders who reac-
hed the finish and the 82 others who
foundered before the northern French
town of Roubaix will suffer aches and
pains for the rest of this week.
Everything hurts your arms,
your hands, your legs, your back, your
neck, said Allan Peiper, a director
with the Garmin-Barracuda team who
rode in five Tours de France and mul-
tiple Paris-Roubaix. He said the batter-
ing meted out by the cobbles makes
the race even more punishing than the
toughest mountain stages at the Tour.
But Boonen seemed to glide over the
rocks. That takes tremendous power
and bike-handling technique. And it
took courage to ride off the front of the
race when the finish was so distant. In
recent decades, few have pulled off
such a long, one-man victory.
Bike fans adore such daring. The
risk for Boonen was that he would
quickly tire and be swallowed by rivals
hunting as a pack behind. But once
Boonen escaped, they couldnt catch
him. Cobblestone by cobblestone,
Boonen pedaled relentlessly to main-
tain and then increase his lead. When
it finally reached 1 minute, with 26
kilometers (16 miles) to ride, it be-
came clear that the game was up.
I dont get many chances to pull off
a number like that one, Boonen said.
I found myself at the front alone and
thought, OK, why not give it a try? I
fought for every second and when I
had accumulated a minute, I thought,
OK. Its possible to ride all the way to
Roubaix.
Frankly, it was beautiful, said
Christian Prudhomme, the Tour direc-
tor who had the best seat in the house,
riding in a car behind.
We were right behind him for an
hour and a half. It was a sort of animal-
like strength. Not at all robotic, Prud-
homme said. It was impressive.
This was the 110th Paris-Roubaix,
which started in 1896, making it older
than the Tour. With the other cham-
pions, Boonen has a plaque bearing his
name in the communal showers at
Roubaixs velodrome, where the race
ends among cheering crowds.
Boonen on Sunday also happily
lifted the wonderfully bizarre trophy
the race has awarded winners since
1977 a cobblestone mounted on
marble.
In 2009, when Boonen tested posi-
tive for cocaine a second time, it
looked like success was ruining him.
He unhappily acknowledged that when
he parties, I apparently turn into
somebody different.
Now, the former world champion
looks like a winner again.
People said he was finished, be-
cause of his health problems, his knee
problems, his wobbles outside of
sport, said Prudhomme. Now, he is
back.
Boonen also won Roubaix in 2005,
08 and 09, and now shares the record
of victories with Roger de Vlaeminck,
winner in 1972, 74, 75 and 77.
This month, Boonen also won his
third Tour of Flanders, the daylong
race through his native Belgium. It,
too, rattles over cobbled sections.
Federers record of 16 tennis majors
and the football marks Messi is setting
almost every week with Barcelona are
arguably more impressive and certain-
ly make them better known.
But Boonens combined total of
seven Roubaix and Flanders wins, a
new record, is important stuff to fans
who think cycling over rocks really
rocks.
It makes him almost a god, said
Francois Doulcier, president of The
Friends of Paris-Roubaix, a group dedi-
cated to preserving the ancient cob-
blestone tracks.
It means he really is strong, that he
loves cycling, and that he loves classic
races with paving stones. Were in
awe.
After Boonen crossed the line, an
employee of his Omega PharmaQuick
Step team cleaned him up a bit with a
quick wipe of his arms, face and legs,
making him presentable for television
interviews.
Shame, really. Because covered in
the grime and dust this race throws up,
Boonen looked the part: the cobbles-
tone king.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. The Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees
fought back froman early six-run
deficit on Monday night, but
couldnt complete the comeback
in a 6-5 loss to Syracuse to fall to
1-4 on the season.
Yankees starter Adam Warren
struggled in his first start of 2012
only lasting three innings and al-
lowing all six runs. The right-
hander, who hasnt won since
June 20 last season, gave upthree
runs in the first and three more in
the second.
He threw41 pitches in the first
inning as the Chiefs batted
around and plated their runs on a
sacrifice fly and RBI-singles by
Nationals top prospect Bryce
Harper his first Triple-A RBI
and Mark Teahen.
Tyler Moores first home run of
the season, a two-run blast in the
second, gave Syracuse a 6-0 lead.
But the Yankees werent giving
up.
They started chipping away.
Dewayne Wise, signed in Janu-
ary as a minor league free agent
by the Yankees, hit his first home
run of the season in his first
game of the season after being
with his wife while she gave birth
for the teams previous four
games withashot over theright
field wall in the fourth to trimthe
lead to 6-1. It was also the first
longball of the season for SWB.
He was activated off the tempo-
rary inactive list on Monday.
The Yankees put up three runs
in the seventh taking advantage
of three Syracuse miscues.
After Wise doubled, Brandon
Laird popped up, but the ball
dropped in the infield to put run-
ners on first and second. Colin
Curtis then singled home Wise
for a 6-2 deficit, but Curtis was
out on a baserunning mistake.
The next batter, Kevin Russo
poked a single to score Laird for a
6-3 deficit.
Ramiro Pena followed with a
flyball to center, but Harper mis-
played the ball and collided with
right fielder Xavier Paul, scoring
Russo and the lead was cut to 6-4.
The Yankees ran themselves
out of scoring chances inthe final
two innings.
SWB loaded the bases in the
top of the eighth, but Russo end-
ed the frame with a groundout.
Then in the ninth against
Chiefs closer RyanPerry, Francis-
co Cervelli drove in Ramiro Pena
to pull the team within a run at
6-5. Cervelli however was thrown
out trying to reach second base.
That hurt the team because the
next batter, Steve Pearce dou-
bled.

ren nowhas seven losses and sev-

Richardson hit six 3-pointers
and scored 22 points, J.J. Redick
had 20 points and the Orlando
Magic eased past the Detroit
Pistons 119-89 Monday night.
Glen Davis added16 points
and16 rebounds starting in
place of center Dwight Howard,
who missed his third game in
two weeks with back spasms.
All five Orlando starters reac-
hed double figures in the Mag-
ics first win over the Pistons
this season.
The Magic also were playing
without backup point guard
Chris Duhon, who was suspend-
ed for the game for conduct
detrimental to the team.
Tayshaun Prince led Detroit
with 21points and eight re-
bounds.
The Pistons lost their third
straight game since a three-
game winning streak. Detroit
concludes its four-game road
trip at Charlotte on Thursday.
With both Howard and Hedo
Turkoglu (out for the regular-
season with a facial fracture)
missing fromthe starting li-
neup, Magic coach Stan Van
Gundy inserted Davis and Red-
ick into the lineup.
Neither player disappointed
early, with Redick connecting
fromthe outside and scoring
eight first-quarter points, and
Davis reaching double-double
status just minutes into the
second period.
Grizzlies 94, Clippers 85

the Bobcats. John Wall scored
just two points but had12 as-
sists.
Corey Maggette scored 23
points for the Bobcats (7-48),
who lost their 12th straight.
It may have been a newlowin
Bobcats history losing by 28
points at home to the second-
worst teamin the league.
On the positive side, the Bob-
cats took a step closer to securi-
ng the worst record in the
league and the best chance at
the No. 1pick in NBAdraft
lottery on May 30.

AOL gets $1B for patents
Faltering Internet icon AOL was able
to squeeze out more than $1 billion
from Microsoft for a trove of some 800
patents in an auction, the latest sign of
just how valuable such portfolios can
be for the worlds biggest technology
companies.
Microsoft refused to say what the
patents cover. Benchmark analyst Clay-
ton Moran said they revolve around
Internet technology, including ad-
vertising, search and mapping. This
would help Microsoft go up against
Google Inc., a big rival that is ahead of
it in all three areas.
$2.2M Sunoco settlement
Massachusetts authorities say Suno-
co Inc. has agreed pay $2.2 million to
settle allegations that it sought pay-
ment from the state for hazardous
waste cleanup at gas stations at the
same time it was getting reimbursed by
its insurers.
Attorney General Martha Coakley
said in a statement Monday that the
Philadelphia-based fuel company re-
ceived money from a state fund estab-
lished to speed up the cleanup of envi-
ronmentally dangerous leaks from
underground storage tanks.
The state says Sunoco did not dis-
close that it also got insurance settle-
ments between 1997 and 2001 to cover
cleanups.
AT&T sells Yellow Pages
AT&T Inc. on Monday said it agreed
to sell a majority stake in its Yellow
Pages business to the private-equity
firm Cerberus Capital for $950 million.
The sale is part of AT&Ts strategy
to jettison shrinking parts of its busi-
ness so it can focus on segments that
are growing, particularly its wireless
business. Revenue from the Yellow
Pages unit has shrunk 30 percent in
two years, as consumers continue to
shun phone books in favor of the Web.
Oneok building pipeline
Oneok Partners plans to build a $1.8
billion pipeline that will bring 200,000
barrels of crude a day from North Da-
kotas Bakken Shale field to an oil-
trading hub in Cushing, Okla.
Construction of the 1,300-mile Bak-
ken Crude Express pipeline is expected
to start as soon as 2013 and the system
may be operating in early 2015, the
Tulsa, Okla. based partnership said
Monday. The project would be Oneok
Partners first oil pipeline.

ITS RE-
FRESHING
to see a little
variety now
and then.
Thats why
I was pleas-
antly sur-
prised to get my hands on the
LG Lucid.
Given the specifications, you
wouldnt expect the Lucid to
be all that impressive. Its got
OK screen resolution
480x800, compared to the
720x1280 or better resolutions
sported by state-of-the-art
phones. Its got a 5 megapixel
camera, compared to the 8
megapixel devices now com-
mon at the top of the range.
But the processor is a decent
1.2Ghz dual core model, the
droid 4.0, the manufacturer
has indicated an upgrade to
Android 4.0 at some point.
I dont usually recommend
midrange phones, but with the
LG Lucid, Id break that rule
its a great phone for people
who are looking to get into a
feature-rich smartphone with-
out spending the seemingly
ubiquitous $299.99 price tag
that most new devices seem to
carry.
At $79.99 from Verizon
Wireless, the Lucid is some-
thing of a bargain considering
the performance. Its not the
most powerful phone on the
market; its not the fastest or
the thinnest.
But its probably one of the
most balanced devices you can
buy.
entire time
you own it.
In terms of
construction,
the Lucid is
sturdy but
light and
sports an in-
teresting
chrome bezel
along the
sides. It
seemed a bit
thick when
looking at it edge-on, but it
doesnt feel that way in the
hand. The display is adequate
at 4.0 inches and is protected
by damage-resistant Gorilla
Glass, always a nice feature.
One nitpick is that it cur-
rently runs Android 2.3 as
opposed to the current An-
midrange
device that
doesnt try to
bite off more
than it can
chew at an
acceptable
price point of
$79.99 to
boot.
Typically, midrange smart-
phones suffer from being ei-
ther underpowered for the
software they support or rela-
tively powerful but lacking an
important feature.
The Lucid doesnt seem to
have those issues. Its perfectly
capable of running every bit of
software with power to spare,
its snappy, and its not lacking
in features that might make
you pine for another phone the
RAM and storage are both
sufficient, and it has 4G con-
nectivity.
In practice, the camera is
pretty good. It can take HD
video, and offers autofocus and
a flash. The pictures are crisp,
and the screen, while not
breathtaking, is quite clear.
The Lucid, like most 4G
devices, has a front-facing
camera for video chat.
Most important, the phone
is extremely responsive. LG
seems to have done what is
nearly impossible: produce a

MADRID Juan Hurtado Bravo
wants youtolookgoodandhewouldlike
to show you how -- before you buy your
clothes online.
InditexA, owner of Spanish retail gi-
ant Zara, and Mango are in discussion
with Hurtado to allowthe 29-year-old to
do just that, he says. Coquetame, the
company he co-founded last year, makes
a website that helps customers visually
mix and match attire online.
Its one of the 80 startups in Madrid-
based operator Telefonicas Wayra pro-
gram, which is nurturing companies in
Europe and Latin America.
Spainmay soundlike anunlikely place
to incubate tomorrows tech success sto-
ries. Miredinits worst economic crisis in
decades and with the highest unemploy-
ment rate in the European Union, the
country ranks 30th out of 71in the Glob-
al Entrepreneurship and Development
Index, after other European nations
such as Germany, France and Italy.
The index, which measures entrepre-
neurial attitudes, action and aspirations,
is led by Denmark, while the U.S. was
rated No. 3.
Still, Spainis home to some successful
standouts, including outdoor Wi-Fi ser-
vices provider Grupo Gowex, founded
by Jenaro Garcia, airline Volotea and so-
cial networking site Tuenti, now owned
by Telefonica. Bravo hopes his Coque-
tame will be the next success story.
Under Wayra, which means wind in
the Andean Quechua language, entre-
preneurs get an average of about
$50,000, space and six months of men-
toring.
Telefonica receives a 10 percent stake
in each business and a preference right
to buy a successful product.
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has
pledged to pass a law for entrepreneurs
and offer red carpet treatment for
those who create jobs, while cutting le-
vies for small companies.

NEW YORK Facebook is
spending $1 billion to buy the
photo-sharing company Insta-
gram in the social networks
largest acquisition ever.
Instagramlets people apply fil-
ters to photos they snap with
their mobile devices and share
them with friends and strangers.
This is an important mile-
stone for Facebook because its
the first time weve ever acquired
a product and company with so
many users, CEO Mark Zucker-
berg wrote on his Facebook page.
We dont plan on doing many
more of these, if any at all.
Facebook said it plans to keep
Instagram running independent-
ly. Thats a departure from its
tendency to buy small startups
and integrate the technology
or shut them down altogether
just so it can hire talented engi-
neers and developers.
We think the fact that Insta-
gram is connected to other ser-
vices beyond Facebook is an im-
portant part of the experience,
Zuckerberg wrote. We plan on
keeping features like the ability
to post to other social networks,
the abilitytonot share your Insta-
grams on Facebook if you want,
and the ability to have followers
and follow people separately
from your friends on Facebook.
Facebook is expected to com-
plete its initial public offering of
stock next month.

It's going to be
windy at times
again today. A
large low pres-
sure system over
eastern Canada
and the north-
east U.S. is creat-
ing high winds,
clouds and some
passing rain
showers. This
systemwill
remain nearly
stationary over
the next few
days, keeping it
cloudy, breezy
and cool. Along
with rain show-
ers, we may
have some snow
showers
Wednesday
morning. By
Thursday, the
systemwill begin
moving away
and take the
clouds and wind
with it. High
pressure moves
in Thursday
night leading to
a good deal of
sunshine Friday.
The temperature
will warm up a
little this week-
end.

Q: What do youthink
about the use of pink
slime ingroundbeef?
T.H., Philadelphia
A: Witha name like
pink slime, it seems
likeleanfinelytextured
beef has a serious
imageproblem. Iveseenthevideoof food
chef andcritic JamieOliver wherehetoss-
es scraps of meat intoa washingmachine
toillustraterather poorlythemeat sep-
arationprocess, followedbythedousingof
householdbleachonpre-preparedso-called
pinkslime tomakea dramatic point. This
is simplynot accurate.
What is finelytexturedbeef? When
butchers removethevarious cuts of beef
fromacarcass, therearebits of meat left
behind. Onasmall scale, butchers have
tossedthesescraps awayor sent themtopet
foodmanufacturers becauseit is difficult and
not cost-effectivetotrytoremovethelast
bits of meat. However, it does makeeco-
nomicsensefor largescalebeef suppliers to
invest inatechnologythat cansalvagethese
last beef remnants. Andabout 20years ago,
withtheblessingof theUSDAfor safety,
thats exactlywhat theydid. Thepieces are
heatedtoliquefythefat, andthebeef rem-
nants arespuninacentrifugetoseparatethe
meat fromthefat. This meat contains only
3-6percent fat. This finelytexturedbeef
(yes, it is real meat) is thentreatedwith
ammoniumhydroxidegas tokill anybacte-
ria. This ammoniumhydroxideis not an
ingredient inthebeef it is just aproc-
essingstep. This actuallymakes it safer than
ordinarygroundbeef. True, it is not ground
upbeef but nutritionally, it is real beef.
Leanfinely-texturedbeef is bothnutri-
tious andsafe. What has upset folks so
muchis the perceptionthat this is cheap
meat filler hiddenfromthe public. Once
something has beenlabeledpink slime,
its toughto convince the general public
that its anything else but that. Industry
experts claimthat the eliminationof this
beef fromour groundbeef will require the
slaughtering of anestimated1.5 million
more headof cattle eachyear to make up
the difference.
By the way, finely texturedmeat is like
filet mignoncomparedto whats foundin
all-beef hot dogs andbologna.
Q: Is hair dye safe? Does it cause can-
cer?
C.W., Roswell, Ga.
A: This has beena debatedquestionfor
decades. Ananalysis of 79 studies done
since1966 publishedinthe May 25, 2005,
issue of the Journal of the American
Medical Associationsuggests that there
is no strong evidence of a markedin-
crease inthe overall risk of cancer inhair
dye users. Withrespect to bloodcancers
like leukemia or lymphoma, the data
suggests that there might be a very slight
increasedrisk. But analysis of nearly 40
years of data is not easy, since certain
chemicals that are potential carcinogens
have beendiscontinuedfor at least 25
years. That makes todays hair dyes much
safer thaninthe past. Also, lighter hair
colorings are felt to showevenless of a
potential risk. The positionof the Amer-
icanCancer Society is that hair dyes pose
very little or no increasedrisk of cancer,
andfactors like smoking or poor diet are
far more important. For those who still
have concerns about the long-termuse of
hair dyes, my advice wouldbe to use
lighter dye colors; have less frequent
touch-ups; use ammonia-free coloring
thats lowinthe chemical p-phenyl-
enediamine; consider using coloring
thats chemical-free andvegetable-based
(e.g. henna); have highlights instead
of full coloring to avoiddye contact with
the skinof your scalp; or just avoidusing
it entirely.

Public outrage
over pink slime
is unwarranted
Signs of early labor before the
37th week of pregnancy may
be more subtle than dramatic,
doctors say. Its not necessarily
even painful, says Dr. James
Marquardt, an obstetrician/
gynecologist in Midlothian, Va.
Some tips:
Be aware of contractions. They
can feel as if like your abdomen
is tightening like a fist every 10
minutes or less, rather than
anything sharp or painful.
Pay attention to back pain ... A
dull ache in the lower back can
be a sign of trouble, whether the
discomfort is constant or comes
and goes. You also may feel
more pressure or fullness in your
pelvic area, as if your baby is
pushing down.
... and cramping. Regular abdom-
inal cramps that feel like a men-
strual period or gas pains with
or without diarrhea, nausea or
vomiting arent a normal dis-
comfort of pregnancy.
Dont wait for your water to
break. Even with full-term births,
only about one in four women
will experience the stereotypical
gush of water before labor be-
gins. But increased vaginal
discharge watery, mucus-like
or bloody can indicate preterm
labor.
Stay in tune with your baby. A
decrease in typical fetal move-
ment may need attention.
Err on the side of caution. Call
your doctor with concerns and
follow advice, which can include
resting on your left side or drink-
ing two or three glasses of water
or juice to see if you feel better.
If symptoms worsen or return
or if theres any doubt in your
mind ask for a checkup or
head to a hospital.
Report any problems. Tell your
doctor about abnormal symp-
toms even if they go away. Also
share any history of preterm
birth, which is a risk factor for
early labor in subsequent preg-
nancies.

Slimming with soup
Soup and other foods with high water content
help you feel full and satisfied when eating
a reduced-calorie diet.
Healthy Living
Look for soups that have
Low fat content
A substantial amount
of vegetables or lugumes,
such as peas, carrots,
tomatoes, beans
Not too much salt
(recommended daily
allowance of sodium is
1,600 mg)
When choosing soup
Its official. Kids need to get
dirty.
Its something that all kids
seem to know instinctively
and most parents need to be
reminded of. A little dirt is a
good thing. And a new study
has finally found that expo-
sure to dirt might just make
our kids healthier in the long
run.
Health experts have known
for years that kids who grow
up on farms are less likely to
have immune system disor-
ders such as asthma, allergies
and inflammatory bowel dis-
ease than kids who grow up in
cities. Its called the hygiene
hypothesis, but even though
its generally accepted, health
experts have never under-
stood why it works until
now.

A new study from an interna-
tional team of researchers led
by scientists at Brigham and
Womens Hospital may finally
have found a biological expla-
nation for the hygiene hypothe-
sis. The study, recently publish-
ed in the journal Science, found
that exposure early in life to mi-
crobes helped to train certain
immune cells to resist disease
later in life. Exposure to those
same microbes as an adult did
not have the same effect.
The immune cells affected
were generally those in the
lungs and intestines. No mi-
crobe exposure meant that the
immune cells were not properly
trained, leading to respirato-
ry and digestive disorders later
in life.
So there you have it. A little
dirt early in a childs life can
help protect him from all sorts
of diseases. Go ahead, toss out
that bottle of hand sanitizer
and let your kids play in the
dirt.
DIRT
Who just slammed that door
and burst into tears, mother or
daughter?
As women wait longer to have
children, their menopause is more
often coinciding with the onset of
puberty in their kids. The effect
can be a lot more squabbling, and
extra strain on the family as a
whole. Dependingonthevolatility
of the pairing, clashes can range
from occasional flare-ups to con-
stantly simmering conflict to com-
plete meltdowns.
Its the irritability factor,
times two, said 45-year-old
Chris Niederer of what she and
her 14-year-old daughter, Made-
line, are experiencing. Everyone
in the family is definitely aware.
Even though the Niederers, in-
cluding father John, 16-year-old
Zach and Michael, Madelines
twin, are a very open family, the
key to getting along is being re-
ally conscious of moods and real-
izing that some of it is internal
stuff we cant help, said the Min-
netrista mom, adding that many
of her girlfriends are in the same
boat: We talk about how erratic
and impulsive they are, but its so
much easier to see that behavior
in them than in yourself.
Online discussions of the topic
call the condition hormone
house and Mother Natures
practical joke.
The number of women having
babies in their mid-30s has risen
significantly in recent years, ac-
cording to the Centers for Dis-
ease Control and Prevention. In
1996, women age 20-24 had the
most babies, followed by women
25-29. By 2010, women in their
early 30s were having more ba-
bies (97 per 1,000 births) than
those in their early 20s (90 per
1,000). Since menopause typical-
ly occurs betweenages 45and55,
that means a whole lot more
clashingof reproductive stages in
families nationwide.
Menopause and puberty are a
lot alike, theyre just going in re-
verse, said Dr. Donna Block, an
Edina, Minn., gynecologist with
more than25years of experience.
One is ramping up; the others
ramping down.
Symptoms commontobothcy-
cles of hormonal upheaval on
top of changing bodies, personal-
ities and emotions include
more susceptibility to depres-
sion, the need for more sleep,
acne problems and greater appe-
tite (not exactlythe kindof moth-
er-daughter sharingdesiredbyei-
ther side).
The mythology in the past was
that every menopausal woman
acts crazy, said Dr. Gretchen Van
Hauer, a psychiatrist for Allina
Mental Health who has been prac-
ticing for nearly 25 years. Women
began taking pointed exception to
that notion during the womens
movement in the 1960s and 70s,
claiming no connection between
menopause and emotional volatil-
ity. NowIdsay the pendulumhas
swung to the middle between the
two attitudes, she said.
Theres less stigma attached
to both menstruation and meno-
pause than in the past; a recent
episode of the popular prime-
time sitcom Modern Family
featureda momandher two teen
daughters having what a little
brother called their monsteral
cycles at the same time. The dia-
logue poked fun at old stereo-
types while acknowledging the
reality that, yes, guys of the
house, the ladies are going
through something right now.
In real life, too, moms and
daughters of this generation are
much more vocal about what
theyre experiencing.
I did not talk with my mom at
all about anyof this, Niederer said.
But I can with my family, not only
with my daughter and husband,
but my two teenage sons. We took
thosecommercials about talkingto
your kids about drugs and applied
them to everything else, too, like
how our physical changes are af-
fecting our emotions.
As for menopausal momNieder-
er, she says shes lucky Madeline is
generally even-tempered, and ma-
ture for her age. That way, she
knows if theres an outburst, its ve-
ry likely to be purely hormonal.
We can be emotional, but we
still have tofindways tobe respect-
ful to each other, Niederer said.

with it, and when to walk away.
Hormones in the house with menopausal mom, pubescent kids
By KRISTIN TILLOTSON
Star Tribune (Minneapolis)
toChildrens.
Braylon, 6, of Massillon, has
made many trips to Childrens for
numerous medical problems.
Whenhehadaseizureat school,
Braylons mother quicklycalledhis
neurologist at Childrens and met
the ambulance at Mercys emer-
gency department. Her husband
went toAkron, Ohio, toawait Bray-
lons arrival.
It soundslikeyoureabletothink
veryquickly, beingabletocall every-
one, Holleysaidinadmiration.
But standing next to her son in
thehospital ER, shecantholdback
her tears.
She confided her fear to Holley:
Did Braylons seizures mean a
shunt placed in his brain had mal-
functioned?
Holley knows the family. Hed
seen them in the hospital during
Braylons previous visits.
Youre a Christian, right? he
askedBraylonsmother.Shenodded.
Quietly, hekneelednext toBray-
lonshospitalbedandplacedahand
ontheboy.
Weareprayingthisisnot anoth-
er shunt problem, Holley whis-
pered, eyes tightly shut. We pray
that you also be with his mom, his
father, all of his family. Give them
strength, andgivethempeace.
AstheteamwheeledBraylonout
of the Mercy ER to the awaiting
Childrens ambulance, Holley
quickly grabbed a plastic bag filled
with the boys belongings so it
wasnt forgottenintherush.
Youre going for a ride, buddy,
he told Braylon, cradling the boys
small handinhis own.
As the ambulance sped from
Canton, Ohio, to Akron, Braylons
mom said she liked having the
chaplainalongfor thejourney.
Its nice to have somebody to
talkto, shesaid.
Thetransport programat Akron
Childrens Hospital is one of only
threenationwidetoincludeaflight
chaplain, according to the Associ-
ation of Professional Flight Chap-
lains.
The fledgling nonprofit group is
workingtoconvince more medical
transport programs nationwide to
embrace the flight chaplain con-
cept, said Amelie Buchanan, co-
founder and executive director of
theassociation.
Before leaving her job to help
start the national association, Bu-
chanan served as the nations first
flight chaplain for five years with a
transport programinColorado.
Buchanan soon discovered she
was there to minister to her fellow
crewmembers just as much as she
wasneededtohelpwithpatientsin
crisis.
Crew members tend to be
Type-A personalities, she said.
Theyarewonderful caringforoth-
ers, but they dont care for them-
selves. The culture sort of stresses
that youjust keepgoingon, nomat-
terwhat youseeorexperience. But
when you dont talk about those
types of experiences, it can lead to
something very similar to post-
traumatic stress. They become ve-

Holley, 32, joined Akron Chil-
drens chaplaincy team about 1
1
2
years ago after completing clinical
pastoral education residencies at
Methodist Hospital System and
Childrens Medical Center in Dal-
las. He also serves as a chaplain in
theAir ForceReserves.
TheVirginianativewas working
as a professional dancer in Las Ve-
gas whenhefelt calledtoministry.
So he hung up his tap shoes and
earned his master of divinity from
Austin Presbyterian Theological
Seminary.
Shortly after he started working
at Childrens, hospital leaders
asked him to join the transport
team, inadditiontohisdutiesinthe
emergency department, pediatric
intensive care unit, psychiatric de-
partment andother areas.
This is a just a very high stress,
high anxiety-producing job, said
Kendra Paxton, nurse manager for
transport andthecommunications
center at Childrens. We felt it
would be nice to have somebody
like Mitchell to get to know the
staff, talkwiththem.
Atfirst, somecrewmemberswere
admittedlyskeptical whenthechap-
lainjoinedtheclose-knit team.
Hell just get inour way, critics
complained.
But as he spent time with the
crew, they quickly realized he was
theretohelpthem, not hindertheir
work.
He takes care of all of us, said
Tina Wood, a paramedic with the
transport team. Youcanapproach
himwithanything.

HOW TO CONTACT:
Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069
For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com
O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I have
been married for 19
years, but I cannot
stay faithful to my
wife. Ive had a few
affairs, visit massage
parlors on a regular
basis and feel my
wife deserves better.
We have kids who will be affected,
and it will hurt us financially, but I
dont feel right staying in a marriage
I cant be faithful to. I havent told
my wife about this, but I believe she
knows because we havent been inti-
mate in months. Please give me some
advice.
Living a Lie in the Mid-Atlantic
Dear Living A Lie: It would have
been better for you to have divorced
before you had children. However,
now that you do have kids, its time
that you level with your wife.
She may prefer to remain married
to you until your children are out of
the house. Or she may feel that her
chances of finding someone else are
better if you separate now. Youll
never know until you talk to her.
Dear Abby: I am trying to decide
who to have as best man at my wed-
ding. I asked my best friend before I
got engaged. After the engagement,
I received a lot of pressure from my
mom to have my brother as best man.
After arguing with her for a month
straight, I finally gave in and asked
my brother. We have never been
close. Theres no communication and
no desire for it.
My gut instinct tells me my best
friend should be my best man. On
the other hand, if I tell my brother
he isnt the one anymore, Im afraid
it will be the final dagger in any type
of relationship with him. I need your
advice on this matter.
Groom-To-Be in Minnesota
Dear Groom-To-Be: Youre right that
having asked your brother to be your
best man, you should not rescind the
invitation. However, your best friend
can still be your best man. According
to Emily Post, there can be two best
men. She says:
Though not so common, two chief
attendants may be the right solution
when you dont want to choose be-
tween siblings or close friends. The
attendants can share the duties and
the fun!
So there you are. Problem solved.
Dear Abby: Im dating a man, Ja-
son, who is a DJ. Lately work has
been slow for him, but because he
was so popular when he was younger,
he finds it hard to accept that he will
have to get a 9-to-5 job.
Jason has expressed in the past
that he doesnt want to call a 30-
year-old his boss and would like to
go to school. We hope to get mar-
ried one day, but I am torn because I
dont want to support the household
on a wing and a prayer.How can I
explain this without it turning into an
argument?
On the Record in Connecticut
Dear On The Record: The longer
Jason waits to look for a 9-to-5 job,
the younger his bosses will be. You
shouldnt have to support the house-
hold because Jason is dragging his
feet about returning to school. Ex-
plain it to him by saying that if he
doesnt become more proactive, you
will have to consider finding someone
who is more ambitious.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Unfaithful husband searches for way out of his unsatisfying marriage
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
wont like the way a situation is
going. Good news: Youre so cre-
ative now that youll be able to
come up with about seven ways
to lead the action in an alternate
direction.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Send a
message of forgiveness to your
own mirror. If theres something
keeping you from doing this,
identify the issue. What might
help you get past it?
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your life-
style will speak volumes to the
people close to you. Consider
what you might do now to make
them know how deeply they are
loved.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Children look to develop their
identities by associating with
people who are more or less
their own age. Youll be like a
child now, too, figuring out how
you might fit in.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Youre prob-
ably not looking for love, but
that doesnt rule out having it in
your life. Love, in its many forms,
will be out there looking for you
today, and by the days end,
youll consider yourself found.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Youll
only share your visions and
dreams with those you really
trust. People have to know you
and prove their trustworthiness
over a period of time before
youll open up to them.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Youll
be mentally sharp in the morn-
ing and then again late in the
evening. The afternoon brings a
slump that will actually be quite
enjoyable if you give in to it and
relax with good company.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You feel
that the onus is on you to put a
few crazy notions into the mix.
Contributing ideas from outside
the existing pattern will cause
heads to tilt, eyebrows to arch
and hands to clap.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Youve been dreaming about
how things should go or could go
in a perfect world. Now youll be
reconciling the way things actu-
ally are.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Extenuating circumstances may
have you taking less than opti-
mal care of yourself. Get back to
basics. Your mood is always bet-
ter when you feel secure in your
health.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The
one who loves you is also able
to hurt you with so much as a
cross-eyed look. Knowing this,
you might recognize the similar
power you hold with your love
and wield that power gently.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You
have a way of spiritually reach-
ing into the heart of someone,
plucking a molecule for examina-
tion and then reading the feel-
ing. You can sense even the qui-
etest anger, fear, joy and elation.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (April 10).
Strong relationships will bring
unexpected benefits to your
world this year. Take a chance
over the next six weeks. The
training you get or an invest-
ment you make will pay in
September. Friendship and
romance decorate your July.
Libra and Scorpio people adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 5,
2, 13, 29 and 41.
