He Imes Eader: Obama Promises Rigorous Review

5
>> THE T WORD: It was awful nice of Uncle Sam to

give us two extra days to get our taxes done. So that gives
us until midnight Tuesday to pay up. But as you wave
goodbye to your deduction-filled envelope, did you ever
wonder if your money has found a good home? Relax. Its
in the hands of the federal government. Itll put it to wise
and fiscally responsible use. Wont it?
>> GOOD GOSH AND GOLLY: When your name
consists of two colors, youve got homespun written all
over you. (Not literally written of course. That would be
weird.) If you are in the mood for a little homespun, handy-
man humor, then mosey on over to the F.M. Kirby Center
Tuesday to see PBS personality Red Green. The
suspender-wearing author will be dishing out
wit and wisdom beginning at 7 p.m. and wrap-
ping it all up in a ball of duct tape.
>> DRESSING WAY DOWN: It would
be a fair assumption to make that the per-
son who invented National Wear Your Paja-
mas to Work Day is a pretty laid-back dude.
Or institutionalized. Nevertheless, this
Wednesday is indeed set aside for us to stay
in our Pajamas (or, as scientists call them,
PJs) as we head off to work. Sounds like a
nice idea if you work at a mattress store or are
Hugh Hefner. But it would be downright odd to
be pulled over by a cop in SpongeBob jammies.
>> PLAYOFF TIME: If you were to break
down this years Calder Cup playoffs by nick-
names, the WBS Penguins would stand no chance. After
all, who would win in a fight between a bear and a pen-
guin? Unless the penguin was well armed, hed end up as
dinner. Luckily, thats not the way things work. So when the
Penguins host the Hershey Bears this Friday
night in the playoff opener, theyve got a
great shot at not being eaten. Game time is
7:05 p.m. at the Mohegan Sun Arena.
>> TAKING CARE: For more than 40 years,
us humans have been setting aside April 22
to celebrate the planet we call home. Its
Earth Day this Sunday. If you are looking
for some way to participate, its prob-
ably a good time to go out and clean
up a small section of the Earth
near you. Sort of straightening
up around our collective house
so to speak. For you surly types
who never take part in anything, just dont
litter. That oughta be enough.

CARTAGENA, Colombia
President Barack Obama, speak-
ing for the first time about allega-
tions that Secret Service agents
hired prostitutes, said Sunday
that of course Ill be angry if
those accusa-
tions are pro-
ven true by an
investigation.
Obama said
the agents rep-
resent the Unit-
ed States and
are supposed to
conduct them-
selves with the highest levels of
dignity anywhere in the world.
Obviously, whats been reported
doesnt match up to those stan-
dards, Obama said in a news
conference wrapping his appear-
ance at a Latin America summit.
The president never directly
mentioned that the specific accu-
sations, confirmed by media out-
lets, that agents were cavorting
with prostitutes before the presi-
dent arrived in Colombia.
The Secret Service sent 11
agents home and placed themon
leave for misconduct as the agen-
cy reviews what happened.
I expect that investigation to
be thorough, and I expect it to be
rigorous, Obama said. If it
turns out that some of the allega-
tions that have been made in the
press are confirmed, then of
course Ill be angry. ... We are rep-
resenting the people of the Unit-
ed States, and when we travel to
another country, I expect us to
observe the highest standards.

Withthe distinctionof beingthe oldest
toll highway in the United States, the
Pennsylvania Turnpike at 70 years old is
showingitsage, andthetravelingpublicis
taking notice.
Coupled with
deteriorating
road conditions,
a recent series of
state-mandated
rate hikes now make the highway one of
the most expensive toll roads in the na-
tion.

The turnpike system, which includes

HAZLE TWP. State police
say they are looking for the man
who punched another man in
the face Friday night when their
vehicles were stopped at a traffic
light at the intersection of 28th
and North Church streets.
Glenn Follin of Freeland told
state police he was stopped at
the light with his son in their
vehicle around 8 p.m. when
another man got out of a dark-
colored truck or SUV yelling at
him. Follin said he got out of his
vehicle to speak with the man
and was punched in the face
three or four times. The other
man got back into his vehicle
and fled, Follin said.
He said the man was white,
approximately 6 feet, 2 inches
tall, with a thin build, brown
hair in a crew-cut style and a
goatee.
Anyone with information is
asked to contact state police in
Hazleton at 570-459-3890.
WILKES-BARRE A short-
circuiting electric line caused a
vacant house to catch fire briefly
Saturday.
Firefighters were called at
11:35 a.m. Saturday to 282 N.
Pennsylvania Ave. to investigate
a possible fire in the home.
Firefighters arriving on scene
found power arcing from the
line entering the house at the
service box on the outside wall.
The short circuit caused the
walls of the vacant home to
catch fire, Assistant Fire Chief
Edward Snarski said.
Firefighters extinguished the
flames after PPL Electric Util-
ities workers cut power to the
house.
A neighbor said the home has
been vacant for several years
and that the police have been
called to the house in the past to
remove squatters and looters.
Snarski said he is not sure
how long the house has been
vacant but that it was boarded
up when we got here.
Snarski said it appeared as if
someone, possibly seeking scrap
metal, may have previously
tampered with the electrical
service box. The fire did not
appear to have been intentional-
ly set, he said.
Luzerne County property
assessment records indicate the
home is owned by John Patrick
Gildea of North Main Street.

break-ins overnight Friday into

The Associated Press
ALLENTOWN -- Three men
were arrested shortly after an
early-morning shooting out-
side an Allentown nightclub,
which resulted in the death of a
New York City man and the
lockdown of a local hospital for
hours.
According to police, an alter-
cation happened inside Club
Horizon at 1221 Airport Road
shortly before 2 a.m., forcing
club personnel to exit all pa-
trons to the parking lot.
Police allege that moments
later, Amos Muir, 37, of Wilkes-
Barre, fired several shots from
the passenger side of a vehicle
in the parking lot, striking both
Teddy Bell, 33, of Brooklyn,
N.Y., and Gregory Fluker, 35, of
Bethlehem.
Police said Muir then fled in
a vehicle driven by Brian Fran-
cis, 29, of Wilkes-Barre. Allen-
town Assistant Police Chief Jo-
seph N. Hanna said Francis
struck a parkedcar as he fledto-
ward Route 22. Pennsylvania
State Police later pulled over
Francis vehicle on Route 22,
just before the Northeast Ex-
tension exit, Hanna added.
Muir faces homicide, reck-
less endangerment and fire-
arms charges. Francis faces hin-
dering apprehension and hit-
and-run charges. Another pas-
senger, Keith Brissett Jr., of
Brooklyn, N.Y., is being
charged with hindering appre-
hension. All suspects are being
charged with receiving stolen
property since the firearmused
in the incident was reported
stolen, Hanna added.
All suspects were scheduled
to be arraigned before District
Judge Robert C. Halal.
Bell and Fluker were both
transported to St. Lukes Uni-
versity Hospital-Fountain Hill,
where Bell was pronounced
dead at 2:30 a.m., Hanna said.
Lehigh County Coroner
Scott Grim ruled the cause of
death attributed to gunshot
wounds to the body and the
manner of death homicide. An
autopsy is scheduled for today.
Fluker was treated and re-
leased.
The early-morning shooting
forced St. Lukes to lock down
the hospital for several hours,
according to hospital spokes-
woman Denise Rader.
Rader said no incidents hap-
pened at the hospital, but the
lockdown was a precautionary
measure to ensure safety of
staff and patients.
The hospital was ruled all
clear about 5 a.m., she added.
Sundays incident is the lat-
est violent occurrence at Club
Horizon.

The allowance given to U.S.
House members to pay for of-
fice operating expenses was re-
duced by 6.4 percent this year.
Though that was on top of a 5
percent reduction the year pri-
or, all three Northeastern Penn-
sylvania congressmen said they
support the need to tighten
purse strings.
Its got to be a shared sacri-
fice, said Rep. Tim Holden, D-
St. Clair. We need to be part of
the solution, not the exception
to it.
Holdens office allowance
dropped to $1,308,869 this year,
according to his chief of staff
Trish Reilly. She said a legisla-
tive assistant, Courtney Wil-
liams, left and has not been re-
placed.
The Mem-
bers Repre-
sentational
Allowance,
known as an
MRA, is used
to pay for all
office operat-
ing expenses everything from
staff salaries to leases for dis-
trict offices to equipment pur-
chasing to mailing expenses to
the phone bill, according to
Shawn Kelly, Rep. Lou Barlet-
tas spokesman.
The 2011MRAfor Barletta, R-
Hazleton, was $1,419,837. Bar-
lettas office spent $1,406,623.
The unspent money was sent
back to the U.S. Treasury. If a
member goes over the MRA, he
is responsible for picking up the
difference out of pocket.
This year Barlettas MRA is
$1,328,967 a cut of $90,870.
Kelly said its not an easy thing
to implement, but its support-
ed by Barletta and others in
Washington.
Cutting expenses remains a
challenge because the 11th Dis-
trict spans five counties and
about 2,500 square miles of
Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Providing constituent ser-
vices and outreach for about
650,000 residents on a shrink-
ing budget is not easy, but be-
cause our nation is $15 trillion
in debt and because Rep. Barlet-
ta believes inthe federal govern-
ment livingwithinits means, he
voted to cut congressional
MRAs, including his own, Kel-
ly said.

Luzerne Countys community devel-
opment business loan fund lost $6 mil-
lionontheHotel Sterlingproject, raising
the question of how many other IOUs
are on the funds books.
Set up years ago with federal seed
money to provide low-interest economic
development loans, the fund is owed
about $30 million on 54
loans, including the one
to the nonprofit CityVest
for the Sterling, records
show.
Another seven loans
totaling about $7 million
are listed in the funds re-
cords, but they are la-
beled as forgivable,
which means they were
essentially grants that
dont have to be repaid.
A Luzerne County
Council majority agreed with county
Manager Robert Lawtons recommenda-
tion to stop spending the funds remain-
ing $11 million on demolition or stabili-
zation of the downtown Wilkes-Barre
Sterling property.
Lawton said he doesnt want to reject
future loans for viable projects because
additional funds were depleted on the
Sterling.
Though the fund may never reclaim
the $6 million investment on the Ster-
ling, county Community Development
Director Andrew Reilly said hes confi-
dent most of the remaining loans will be
repaid in time.
For example, the Hazleton area eco-
nomic development agency CAN DO
Inc. owes the fund $7.7 million, not in-
cluding $770,000 in forgivable loans.
Repayment of about $6.5 million of
the money owedby CANDOis tiedtoits
sale of land over a dozen to 30 years, re-
cords show.
The Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of
Business and Industry owes $7.4 mil-
lion, with most repayments also linked
to future land sales.
The economic development group al-
so has a $2.5 million forgivable loan ap-
proved by past commissioners Todd
Vonderheid and Greg Skrepenak in 2004
for the downtown Wilkes-Barre movie
theater project.
The fund is owed $1.89 million for a
project at the Hazleton Broad Street Ex-
change Building, once home to the Deis-
roth store. The county assumed owner-
shipandeventually will sell the property
inanattempt torecoupthe loanfunding.
The county Redevelopment Authority
and related county Rail Corp. owe the
fund about $1.7 million used to buy 56
miles of railroad and associated proper-
ty. Twenty-five area businesses serviced
by the track had pleaded with commis-
sioners to loan the money to the author-
ity in 2001.
Reilly said the loan fund is paid when-
ever the authority and Rail Corp. sell
land.
Roughly 30 borrowers are current on
their repayments, records show.

country, or county for that matter, toex-
perience a little springandsummer fun.
The 2012 Luzerne County Keystone
Active Zone Passport program outlines
trips to area state parks, trails and out-
door events.
The free programstarted in 2007 as a
state initiative by the Pennsylvania De-
partment of Health and coordinated
through Pennsylvania Advocates for
Nutrition and Activity combined with
funding from local sponsors and the
partnership of the Greater Hazleton
Rails to Trails, Wilkes-Barre Family

Michele Schasberger, Health Com-
munity Project Manager with the
Wilkes-Barre YMCA, hopes the KAZ
Passport will put residents on the road
to a healthier lifestyle while introduc-
ing them to the areas recreation spots.
Starting today, participants can regis-
ter and print a passport from
www.KAZpassport.org, which contains
a listing of outdoor events, state parks,
and trails to visit and a scavenger-hunt
style question that must be answered at
each place. Afterwards, participants log
their visit and answer. The program
runs from April 20 through Sept. 30.
Schasberger said last year between
500 to 700 people registered. She said
about the same number register annual-
ly but the number of visits to various
sites have increased.
Most sites are only an hour away and
are free, Schasberger said. The KAZ
Passport websitehas directions tosome
parks or links to websites with direc-
tions.
Our website is the one place where
our outdoor treasures are promoted in
one spot, she said.
There are some newadditions to this

Four very motivated and
dedicated Lake-Lehman
High School seniors received
$1,000 scholarships from the
Lake-Lehman Foundation
Sunday at the fifth annual
High Tea at Hayfield on the
Penn State Wilkes-Barre
campus.
The list of accomplish-
ments for Kristen Boyle,
Matthew Gorski, Victoria
Frederick, and Tiffany Oplin-
ger is stunning, considering
all that the students have
done at such young ages.
They have achieved high
grades, participated in vari-
ous school and community
extracurricular activities and
have dedicated much of their
time and talent to many vol-
unteer ventures.
Not only were the recip-
ients honored, but so were
those for whomeachscholar-
ship was named. Debbie Hig-
gins awarded the Constance
Petroski Krupinski Memo-
rial Scholarship to Frederick,
a scholarship named for Hig-
gins late sister, of whom she
spoke fondly.
During her lifetime she
walked on the Great Wall of
China, visited the historical
land of our ancestors in Po-
land, learned to throw a boo-
merang in Australia, rode a
camel to see the Sphinx and
pyramids in Egypt, and skied
the Italian Alps. If there is
one thing I believe shed like
to impress upon our scholar-
ship recipients today is to get
out there and see what the
world has to offer you.
Boyle received the Nicho-
las Drahus Jr. Memorial
Scholarship, Gorski received
the JohnPeter Farrell Memo-
rial Scholarship, and Oplin-
ger was given the Lake-Leh-
manFoundationscholarship.
Wehavea wonderful com-
munity here in the Back
Mountain, and its nice to see
such wonderful young men
andwomenwhoare goingon
to great things, Johnna
Evans of the LLF said. Were
very proud.
The recipients expressed
gratitude towards everyone
in the room.
Im so thankful to be giv-
en this opportunity in the
presence of my family,
friends, and teachers, Oplin-
ger said. Theyve truly
shaped me into the person I
am today. It may be clich to
say, but I would not be where
I am today without them.
The Lake-Lehman Foun-
dation is a nonprofit organi-
zation that was founded in
the fall of 1995 and officially
re-established in April of
2008. The LLF raises and al-
locates money to enhance
the Lake-Lehman School
District and community
through educational, extra-
curricular and community
programs.
Seniors receive scholarships at High Tea
Recipients and those for
whom the awards were
named are honored.

ABOARD MS BALMORAL
With prayers, a hymn and a
moment of silence broken by a
ships deep whistle, passengers
and crew on a memorial trip
marked 100 years to the mo-
ment since the Titanic sent
more than 1,500 people to a
watery grave.
As the 1912 disaster was com-
memorated around the world,
the city that built the vessel
Belfast, Northern Ireland
looked back on the tragic sink-
ing with a distinctive mixture of
sorrow and pride.
In the North Atlantic, pas-
sengers lined the decks of the
MS Balmoral, a cruise ship that
has been retracing the route of
the doomed voyage, as the ship
stopped early Sunday at the
spot where the Titanic went
down in the early hours of April
15, 1912.
After a short service and a
moment of silence, three floral
wreaths were cast onto the
waves as the ships whistle
sounded in the dark.
Jane Allen from Devon in
southwest England, whose
great-uncle perished on the
Titanic, said the moment vividly
reminded her of the horror of
the disaster.
All you could hear was the
swell splashing against the side
of the ship. You could see the
white breakers stretching out to
sea, she told the BBC. You are
in the middle of nowhere. And
then you look down over the
side of the ship and you realize
that every man and every wom-
an who didnt make it into a
lifeboat had to make that deci-
sion, of when to jump or stay on
the ship as the lights went out.
Another cruise ship, Journey,
which traveled from New York,
also held a service at the site,
400 miles off the coast of New-
foundland.
The Titanic, the worlds large-
st and most luxurious ocean
liner, was traveling from En-
gland to New York when it
struck an iceberg at 11:40 p.m.
on April 14, 1912. It sank less
than three hours later, with the
loss of all but 700 of the 2,208
passengers and crew.
A century on, events around
the globe marked a tragedy that
retains its grip on the worlds
imagination.
In Belfast, a memorial monu-
ment was unveiled Sunday at a
ceremony attended by local
dignitaries, relatives of the dead
and explorer Robert Ballard,
who discovered the wreck of the
Titanic on the ocean floor in
1985.
A brass band played as the
granite plinth bearing bronze
plaques was uncovered beside
Belfast City Hall. Officials say it
is the first Titanic memorial to
list all victims alphabetically,
with no distinction between
passengers and crew members,
or between first-, second- or
third-class travelers.
We remember all those who
perished and whose names are
herein inscribed men, wom-
en and children who loved
and were loved, their loss still
poignantly felt by their descend-
ants, the Rev. Ian Gilpin told
the crowd.
After a minutes silence, a
choir sang Nearer My God To
Thee the hymn Titanics
band is reported to have played
as the ship went down.
Belfast spent decades scarred
by its link to the disaster, but
has come to take pride in the
feats of engineering and indus-
try involved in building the ship.
Last month, a gleaming new
visitor attraction, Titanic Bel-
fast, opened on the site of the
shipyard where the doomed
vessel was built.
The focus of the world is on
Belfast and we are doing her
proud, said Una Reilly, chair of
the Belfast Titanic Society. We
are all proud of this ship. What
happened was a disaster; she
was not.
On Saturday, thousands at-
tended a memorial concert in
Belfast featuring performances
by Bryan Ferry and soul singer
Joss Stone. At St. Annes Cathe-
dral in the city, a performance of
composer Philip Hammonds
The Requiem for the Lost
Souls of the Titanic was fol-
lowed by a torch-lit procession
to the Titanic memorial garden
in the grounds of city hall.
The requiem performed by
male choristers dressed as ships
crew and female performers in
black also included words by
Belfast novelist Glenn Patter-
son, who imagined the victims
reflecting on all they had missed
in the last 100 years.
We passed instead into myth,
launched a library full of books,
enough film to cross the Atlan-
tic three times over, more con-
spiracy theories than Kennedy,
97 million web pages, a tourist
industry, a requiem or two,
Patterson said. We will live
longer than every one of you.
Remembrance ceremonies
also were being held in the
ships departure port of South-
ampton, southern England
home to hundreds of Titanic
crew who perished and in
Halifax, Nova Scotia, where
more than 100 victims of the
tragedy are buried.
The most famous maritime
disaster in history was being
marked even in places without
direct links to it.
Venues in Las Vegas, San
Diego, Houston and Singapore
hosted Titanic exhibitions that
include artifacts recovered from
the site of the wreck. Among
the items: bottles of perfume,
porcelain dishes, and a 17-foot
piece of hull.
Helen Edwards, one of 1,309
passengers on the Balmoral
memorial cruise who spent the
past week steeped in the Titan-
ics history and symbolism, said
the storys continuing appeal
was due to its strong mixture of
romance and tragedy, history
and fate.
(There are) all the factors
that came together for the ship
to be right there, then, to hit
that iceberg. All the stories of
the passengers who ended up on
the ship, said Edwards, a 62-
year-old retiree from Silver
Spring, Maryland. Its just a
microcosm of social history,
personal histories, nautical
histories.
Romance is an appropriate
word right up until the time of
the tragedy the band playing,
the clothes. And then theres the
tragedy.
As the world paused to re-
member the victims, a U.S.
official revealed there may be
human remains embedded in
the ocean floor where the Titan-
ic came to rest.
REMEMBERING TITANIC: We passed instead into myth, launched a library full of books, enough film to
cross the Atlantic three times over, more conspiracy theories than Kennedy, 97 million web pages, a tourist
industry, a requiem or two. We will live longer than every one of you.

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN
Taliban attack 4 cities
T
he Taliban launched a series of
coordinated attacks across the
Afghan capital and at least three east-
ern provinces on Sunday, targeting
NATO bases, parliament and foreign
embassies in a complex assault that
shows the insurgents can still penetrate
Afghan security and hit Western and
government targets in the heart of
Kabul.
Suicide bombers and insurgents
wielding heavy weapons and rocket-
propelled grenades executed the near-
simultaneous attacks in what the Tali-
ban called an opening salvo ahead of
the spring fighting season, when warm-
er weather typically brings increased
attacks. One police officer and 17 mil-
itants died in the attacks.

Tragedy on high seas
A century-old tradition, the Full
Crew Farallones Race has never been
for the faint of heart: Winds averaging
10 to 20 knots and churning 14-foot
Pacific Ocean swells are among the
rough conditions typically braved by
yachts and their crews during the day-
long regatta, a spring favorite of skilled
sailors.
But on Saturday, powerful waves and
a disastrous series of events brought
rare tragedy to the august race and the
San Francisco Bay areas large sailing
community.
One crew member died and four
others remained missing at sea Sunday
after two powerful waves swept them
from their boat near the rocky Farallon
Islands, the halfway point of the 54-
mile race that began at daybreak in San
Francisco and had 49 entrants.
WASHINGTON
Unprepared for disaster
Tornado, hurricane or flood, nursing
homes are woefully unprepared to
protect frail residents in a natural disas-
ter, government investigators say.
Nearly seven years after Hurricane
Katrinas devastation of New Orleans
exposed the vulnerability of nursing
homes, serious shortcomings persist.
We identified many of the same
gaps in nursing home preparedness
and response, investigators from the
inspector generals office of the Depart-
ment of Health and Human Services
wrote in the report being released
Monday. Emergency plans lacked
relevant information. ... Nursing homes
faced challenges with unreliable trans-
portation contracts, lack of collab-
oration with local emergency manage-
ment, and residents who developed
health problems.
The report recommends that Medi-
care and Medicaid add specific emer-
gency planning and training steps to
the existing federal requirement that
nursing homes have a disaster plan.
SANAA, YEMEN
Seven dead in Yemen
Yemeni military officials say al-Qaida
fighters trying to take control of a key
southern town launched two attacks on
residents, leaving seven dead.
Officials say clashes in the city of
Lawder killed two al-Qaida militants
and an armed civilian fighting back.
Also on Sunday, a suicide bomber
drove his car through a civilian check-
point west of Lawder, killing three
people manning it. The officials spoke
on condition of anonymity in line with
military regulations.

You aint nuthin but a racing hound
An Afghan Hound races at a dog track
near Brands Hatch in Kent, England,

WASHINGTON Starting
next year, thecheckwill nolonger
be in the mail for millions of peo-
ple who receive Social Security
and other government benefits.
The federal government,
whichissues 73millionpayments
a month, is phasing out paper
checks for all benefit programs,
requiring people to get payments
electronically, either through di-
rect deposit or
a debit card for
those without a
bank account.
The changes
will affect peo-
ple who get So-
cial Security,
veterans bene-
fits, railroad
pensions and
federal disabili-
ty payments.
Tax refunds are exempt, but the
Internal Revenue Service encour-
ages taxpayers toget refunds elec-
tronically by processing those re-
funds faster than paper checks.
About 90 percent of people
who receive federal benefits al-
ready get their payments elec-
tronically, the Treasury Depart-
ment says. New beneficiaries
were required to get payments
electronically starting last year,
and with a few exceptions, the
rest will have to make the switch
by March 2013.
Its just that natural progres-
sion of moving to howpeople are
used to receiving their funds,
said Walt Henderson, director of
the Treasury Departments elec-
tronic funds transfer division.
Henderson said electronic pay-
ments aresafer andmoreefficient
than paper checks; in 2010, more
than 540,000 federal benefit
checks were reported lost or sto-
len. The switch will save the gov-
ernment about $120 million a
year. Social Security will save $1
billion over the next decade, ac-
cording to the Treasury Depart-
ment.
You think of that paper check
floating out there in the delivery
system, with personal informa-
tion on it, its much more suscep-
tible to fraud versus an electronic
payment, Henderson said.
Advocates for seniors say they
understand the governments de-
sire to cut costs and take advan-
tage of technologies that most
workers already use. But they
have raised concerns about re-
quiring the switch for older reti-
rees who may not be used to elec-
tronic payments.
The government has created a
website, www.GoDirect.org and
a toll-free phone number, 1-800-
333-1795, that people can call for
assistance.

ernment
about $120

WOODWARD, Okla.
The television was tuned to
forecasters dire warnings of
an impending storm when
Greg Tomlyanobich heard a
short burst from a tornado si-
ren blare at midnight Satur-
day. Then silence. Then rum-
bling.
The 52-year-old quickly
grabbed his wife and grand-
son, hurrying them into the
emergency cellar as debris
whirled around their heads at
their mobile home park in
northwest Oklahoma. They
huddled inside with about 20
other people before the torna-
do among dozens that
swept across the nations mid-
sectionduringtheweekend
roared across the ground
above, ripping homes from
their foundations.
It scared the hell out of
me, Tomlyanobich said.
The storm killed five peo-
ple, including three children,
and injured more than two
dozen in Woodward, a town
about 140 miles northwest of
Oklahoma City. But it was the
only tornado that caused fatal-
ities. Many of the touchdowns
rakedharmlesslyacross isolat-
ed stretches of rural Kansas,
and though communities
there andinIowa were hit, res-
idents and officials credited
days of urgent warnings from
forecasters for saving lives.
When Tomlyanobich
emerged from the under-
ground shelter after the storm
subsided, he saw a scattered
trail of destruction: home in-
sulation, siding and splintered
wood where homes once
stood; trees stripped of leaves,
clothingandmetal precarious-
ly hanging from limbs.
It just makes you sick to
your stomach. Just lookat that
mangled steel, he said Sun-
day, pointing to what ap-
peared to be a giant twisted
steel frame that had landed in
themiddleof themobilehome
park, which is surrounded by
rural land dotted with oil field
equipment.
The storms were part of an
exceptionally strong system
tracked by the National
Weather Services Storm Pre-
dictionCenter inNorman, Ok-
la., which specializes in torna-
do forecasting. The center
took the unusual step of warn-
ing people more than 24 hours
in advance of a possible high-
end, life-threatening event.
At the storms height, torna-
does popped up faster than
they could be tallied. Center
spokesman Chris Vaccaro said
the weather service received
at least 120 reports of torna-
does by dawn Sunday and was
working to confirmhowmany
actually touched down.
The storm system was
weakening as it crawled east
andadditional tornadoes were
unlikely, though forecasters
warned that strong thunder-
storms could be expected as
far east as Michigan.
Woodward suffered the
worst of the destruction from
the storms, which also struck
inKansas, Iowa andNebraska.
Woodward City Manager Alan
Riffel said 89 homes and 13
businesses were destroyed.

PYONGYANG, NorthKorea North
Koreas newleader addressedhis nation
and the world for the first time Sunday,
promising to place top priority on his
impoverished countrys military, which
promptly unveiled a new long-range
missile.
The speech was the culmination of
two weeks of celebrations marking the
centenary of the birth of his grandfa-
ther, national founder Kim Il Sung
festivities that were marred by a failed
launch Friday of a rocket that generated
international condemnation and cost
North Korea a food aid-for-nuclear-
freeze deal with Washington.
KimJong Uns speech took North Ko-
reans gathered at Kim Il Sung Square
and around televisions across the coun-
try by surprise. His father, late leader
Kim Jong Il, addressed the public only
once in his lifetime.
Appearing calm and measured as he
read the 20-minute speech, Kim Jong
Un covered a wide range of topics, from
foreign policy to the economy.
His speech, anda military parade that
followed, capped the carefully choreo-
graphed festivities commemorating
Kim Il Sungs birthday, which included
a massive fireworks display.
It was the best look yet the outside
world has had of the young Kim, who is
believed to be in his late 20s.
Punctuating Kims message that the
North will continue to pour funds into
its military, the parade culminated with
the unveiling of a new long-range mis-
sile, though its not clear how powerful
or significant the addition to the North
Korean arsenal is.
Some analysts suggested it might
have been a dummy designed to dupe
outside observers.
Although the rocket launch Friday
was a huge, costly embarrassment for
the new leadership, Kims address was
seenbyanalysts as anexpressionof con-
fidence by the young leader and meant
to show that he is firmly in control.
Superiority in military technology is
no longer monopolized by imperialists,
and the era of enemies using atomic
bombs to threaten and blackmail us is
forever over, Kim said.

BEIRUT Syrias 4-day-old cease-fire
appeared to be quickly eroding Sunday,
with regime forces firing dozens of tank
shells and mortar rounds at neighbor-
hoods in the opposition stronghold of
Homs, hours before the arrival of a first
team of U.N. truce monitors.
Even though the overall level of vio-
lence has dropped, escalating regime at-
tacks over the weekend raised new
doubts about President Bashar Assads
commitment to a plan by special envoy
Kofi Annan to end 13 months of violence
and launch talks on Syrias political fu-
ture.
Assad accepted the truce deal at the
prodding of his main ally, Russia, but his
compliancehas beenlimited. Hehas halt-
ed shelling of rebel-held neighborhoods,
with the exception of Homs, but ignored
calls to pull troops out of urban centers,
apparently for fear of losing control over
a country his family has ruled for four
decades. Rebel fighters have also kept up
attacks, including shooting ambushes.
The international community hopes
U.N. observers will be able to stabilize
the cease-fire, which formally took effect
Thursday. Asix-member advance teamof
U.N. observers headed to Damascus on
Sunday, a day after a unanimous U.N. Se-
curity Council approved such a mission.
A larger team of 250 observers requires
more negotiations between the U.N. and
the Syrian government next week.
With Assad seen as a reluctant partici-
pant in Annans plan, the observers suc-
cess will depend on how much access
they can negotiate in Syria and how
quickly the team can grow to a full con-
tingent, analysts said.
The Security Council demanded free-
dom of movement for the U.N. team, but
the regime could try to create obstacles;
the failure of an Arab League observer
mission earlier this year was blamed in
part on regime restrictions imposed on
the visitors.
Truce eroding as first U.N. monitors head to Syria
Attacks by government troops have
escalated during the weekend.

TRENTON, N.J. Like a per-
former waiting to take the stage,
Chris Christie stands quietly
alone behind the curtains and
takes a moment to himself, and a
few deep breaths.
Cue the video. (A highlights
reel of tough-talking Christie
sound bites plays over Chariots-
of-Fire-esque inspirational mu-
sic.)
Cue the announcer. (Advance
staffer Jim Gilroy, who hung the
banners and checked the mics,
turns one on and channels his in-
ner-professional wrestling an-
nouncer voice: Ladies and gen-
tlemen, the governor of the state
of New Jersey, Chris Christie!)
The applause starts, and the
show begins.
Part stump speech, part quiz
show, part comedy hour, Chris
Christies townhalls are probably
not what Norman Rockwell envi-
sioned in his famous 1943 paint-
ing of an assembly where people
come to air their grievances and
an elected official listens patient-
ly.
Yet the time-old tradition of
the town hall has become the
hallmark of Christies adminis-
tration and helped make him a
rising Republican star. It has also
helped him at home in New Jer-
sey, a state that leans Democratic
in almost every way. The con-
frontations and touching mo-
ments but mostly the confron-
tations have become the stuff
of YouTube legend, and not acci-
dently; his staff posts the videos.
Since taking office in January
2010, Christiehas heldtownhalls
at a clip of more than two a
month, inall but one of the states
21 counties. Hes held them in
halls, hes held one in a mall. Hes
held them in a church, in an air-
port hangar, on a military base.
Mostly, he holds themincommu-
nity centers.
While other politicians shy
away from shouting matches
with constituents, Christie has
made it his trademark.
Ill call on hostile people in-
tentionally, he said. I dont
want people to think Im only
calling on people with the big
smiles and Christie lapel pins.
As a result, a few rules of en-
gagement had to be established:
Raise your hand to be called
on. I want everyone to hear
you.
State your name and home-
town. I dont want tohave tosay,
Hey, you, in the red sweater ...
Fight the urge to make a long
speech. When you get this mi-
crophone, there will become an
indescribable but undeniable de-
sire to make a speech. Take my
word for it.
Remember, this is Jersey. If
you decide that today is the day
that youwant toshowoff for your
friends, if today is the day you de-
cide you want to take the gover-
nor of NewJersey for a walk, just
understand the rules of engage-
ment before you start: We are all
fromNewJersey. And I think you
know what that means.
Still, Christie often recalls a
pieceof advicehewas givenyears
ago: Its hard to hate up close.
The events allowhimto energize
his base but also reach out to his
critics and let them get to know
himas a person, not just a politic-
ian whose policies they dislike.
So before he starts, he takes a
moment to remember that.
I need to take a deep breath
and whatever Im thinking, feel-
ing at the moment, I gotta get rid
of it. Because when I go out
there, this will be the one time for
many people that they will get to
see me inperson, andthey are go-
ing to leave with an impression,
he said in a recent interview. I
want people to walk away really
knowing me.
A few months after taking of-
fice, his statehouse office started
to feel like a sarcophagus,
Christie said, and the isolation of
seeing the same circle of people
set in.
So when his staff suggested in
May 2010 that he use town halls
to drum up support for his pro-
posal for an annual cap on prop-
erty tax increases a topic that
infuriates New Jersey homeown-
ers, who have the highest proper-
ty taxes in the nation he jump-
ed at the chance.
There was some risk. His pred-
ecessor, Democrat Jon Corzine,
tried out something similar in
support of his plan to privatize
the New Jersey Turnpike. Cor-
zine planned to hold 21 town
halls, one in every county, but
stopped at 13 at the insistence of
aides who watched his poll num-
bers drop with each PowerPoint
presentation he gave. By the end,
aides recall, his audiences were
so hostile that state police re-
quired those attending to walk
through metal detectors.
But for Christie, there was a
potentially big payoff: Trying to
figure out a way to force the press
to write a little bit about what I
actually wanted to talk about.
In the early days, Christies
staff filmedthe events
with a crude flip cam-
era sohe couldreview
it later the way a foot-
ball team looks at
game-day footage of
their quarterback. So
when Christie told a
teacher complaining
about his suggestion
to freeze her wages
for a year that she
doesnt have to do the job if she
doesnt like the money, the spat
was caught on camera. His team
of 20-something new media guys
posted it on YouTube, and
watched as clicks added up.
It was probably the moment
after that experience where I fig-
ured out that I could do that,
Christie said. Everyone is like,
How do you talk to your constit-
uents that way? Well, I tried it
once. It worked.
He did make adjustments.
Even when he wasnt snapping
back, it seemed he was always
looking down at the audience.
Its like youre talking down to
them because you are literally
talking down to them, Christie
recalled his communications
chief, Maria Comella, saying in
suggesting that he needed to
physically be onthe same level as
his listeners. She said, I think
you are going to have to take
some chances.
They moved him down, roped
him off and let the audience sur-
round him, a security concern
that required additional state
troopers from the Executive Pro-
tection Unit to attend. They also
started passing the microphone
around to audience members in-
steadof having themline up. The
effect was an event that felt more
like a talk show than a political
speech, with Christie as the pro-
vocative host.
Now, the town halls draw an
average of 500 people and scores
more turnedaway by or-
der of fire marshals.
Residents arrive hours
beforehand to ensure
that they find a seat.
It starts with the vid-
eo. He greets the crowd,
and explains that hes
there because being
governor is isolating.
Youtravel ina bubble. I
never walk through a
front door toanyplaceanymore,
he says.
I walk through more kitchens
than youll ever walk through in
your life. And thats not good for
me to be walking through that
many kitchens, he adds, as the
crowd chuckles, acknowledging
the fat joke at his own expense.
Next comes the stump speech,
or rant, depending on his mood.
Sometimes its about why the
public should support whatever
plan he has just unveiled. Some-
times he uses the speech to rebut
criticism, or to single out Demo-
crats andRepublicans whorefuse
to fall in line.
Sprinkled in between are sto-
ries of his childhood, stories from
the roadandpeople hes met, and
stories about this home life: pick-
ing up dry cleaning, getting in
trouble with the wife, whatever
cute thing his four children said
or did that week.

VATICANCITYPope Bene-
dict XVI prayed Sunday for the
strength to carry on as he marks
two major milestones this week:
his 85thbirthday andthe seventh
anniversary of his election to the
papacy.
The comments, while innocu-
ous, were the clearest sign yet
that Benedict has no intention of
resigning any time soon despite
his age and increasing frailty.
Next Thursday, on the occa-
sionof the seventhanniversary of
my election to the See of Peter, I
ask for your prayers, so that the
Lord gives me the strength to ful-
fill the mission he entrusted to
me, he said in French to thou-
sands of people in St. Peters
Square.
Benedict has slowed down re-
cently he was seen in public
for the first time using a cane
when he boarded his plane for
Mexico last month. During the
long, six-day trip to Mexico and
Cuba, heat times lookedexhaust-
ed. He looked similarly tired dur-
ing the busy Holy Week services
that greeted him upon his return
to Rome.
But Benedicts health is re-
markably strong for someone his
age. He has never canceled a
planned event due to illness and
suffers fromnoknownchronic ill-
nesses. Few men his age go to
work every day, run a 1-billion
strongchurch, write books, deliv-
er speeches and meet with visit-
ing heads of state.
And Benedict has some very
pressing issues on his agenda.
The Vatican is expected to re-
ceive word soon from a break-
away group of traditionalist Ca-
tholics on whether they will ac-
cept the Holy Sees terms for rec-
onciliation.
The group, the Society of St.
Pius X, opposes some of the core
teachings of the Second Vatican
Council, particularly its outreach
to Jews. Benedict, who is not un-
sympathetic to some of their con-
cerns, has worked since the start
of his pontificate to try to bring
them back under Romes wing
out of fear that they are essential-
ly creating a parallel church.
On the other side of the spec-
trum are hundreds of dissident
priests who are making their
voices heard in Europe: Priest
movements in Austria and Ire-
land are calling for a relaxation of
the celibacy requirement for
priests and for the church to or-
dain women two things the
Vatican has ruled out.
Benedict appeared so con-
cerned by the Austrian initiative
in particular that he dedicated
muchof his Holy Thursday homi-
ly to reminding its members that
he had no authority whatsoever
to allow women priests since an
all-male priesthoodwas anirrev-
ocable church teaching.
Other big events on the popes
agenda include a trip to Lebanon
in September, a meeting of the
worlds bishops in Rome the fol-
lowingmonth, andfarther ahead,
World Youth Day in Rio de Janei-
ro in the summer of 2013.
While he was in Cuba last
month meeting with Fidel Cas-
tro, Benedict was askedbythe85-
year-old retired Cuban president
howhe canmanage tokeepdoing
his job. Castro noted that at his
age, he spends his time reading
and reflecting.
I am old but I still manage to
carry out my duty, Benedict told
him, according to a Vatican
spokesman.
That said, Benedict has greatly
cut back his schedule. And his
birthday today will be a rather
small-scale affair: His older
brother Monsignor Georg Ratz-
inger flew in from Germany over
the weekend, and Benedict will
meet with the governor of his na-
tive Bavaria and some Bavarian
bishops in town who want to
wish him well.
Benedict himself asked to keep
the birthday celebrations low-
key, his secretary Monsignor Ge-
org Gaenswein told Italian week-
ly Gente. Just a family party. As
he requested: Please I dont want
any big celebrations, Gaen-
swein quoted the pope as telling
his aides.
Popes are allowed to resign;
church lawspecifies only that the
resignation be freely made and
properly manifested. Only a
handful have done so, however.
The last one was Pope Gregory
XII, who stepped down in1415 in
a deal to end the Great Western
Schism among competing papal
claimants.

he said. But if youre thinking of
assembling a group of advisers,
you have some of the most ac-
complishedadvisers right here in
Massachusetts.
The states recent run of presi-
dential contenders began in1960
when then-Massachusetts U.S.
Sen. JohnF. Kennedysecuredthe
Democratic nominationona first
ballot and went on to narrowly
defeat Republican hopeful Ri-
chard Nixon.
Kennedy was the first presi-
dent to hail from the state since
former Republican Massachu-
setts Gov. Calvin Coolidge, then
vice president, took the oath of
office in1923 following the death
of then-president Warren Hard-
ing.
Prior to Coolidge, the state
could claimtwo other chief exec-
utives John Adams, the na-
tions second president, and his
son John Quincy Adams, the
sixth president.
After Kennedys assassination
in 1963, his brother, former New
York U.S. Sen. Robert Kennedy,
was assassinated in 1968 during
his campaign for the White
House. And their younger broth-
er, then-U.S. Sen. Edward Kenne-
BOSTON Massachusetts
may account for about 2 percent
of the nations population, but
when it comes to nurturing
White House dreams, the Bay
State is a political boomtown.
Since1960, at least half adozen
Massachusetts politicians have
launched serious campaigns for
president, while a handful of oth-
ers have toyed with the idea.
Three captured their political
partys nominationandone, John
F. Kennedy, went on to occupy
the office.
The difference this election cy-
cle is that the politicianaimingto
be the fourth major party nomi-
nee from Massachusetts in the
past five decades, Mitt Romney,
is a Republican.
You can say that all governors
and senators see themselves as
potential presidential conten-
ders, said Boston College politi-
cal science professor Marc Lan-
dy. Whats perhaps more sur-
prising is how successful Massa-
chusetts politicians have been in
making themselves very serious
contenders.
What makes the streak even
more unusual is Massachusetts
reputation as one of the most lib-
eral states in the country.
Timothy Vercellotti, associate
professor of political science and
polling director at Western New
England College, chalks up the
string of would-be Massachu-
setts presidential hopefuls to a
number of factors from the
states obsession with politics, to
the potential brain power sup-
plied by local institutions like
Harvard University and MIT, to
its location on the Northeast cor-
ridor linking Washington, New
York and Boston.
Im not sure you can say that
theres something in the water,
dy, unsuccessfully challenged in-
cumbent Democratic president
Jimmy Carter for their partys
nomination in 1980.
The loss marked the end of the
Kennedyfamilys efforts toretake
the presidency and paved the
way for other Massachusetts can-
didates who lacked some of the
aura and political baggage of the
Kennedy clan.
First was former Massachu-
setts Gov. Michael Dukakis, the
son of Greek immigrants, who
triedtoride crest of the states ec-
onomic boom of the 1980s,
dubbed the Massachusetts Mir-
acle. Dukakis secured the Dem-
ocratic Partys nomination in
1988 contest, but lost to the Re-
publican nominee, then-Vice
President George H.W. Bush.
Bush also had ties to Massa-
chusetts. He was born in the
state.
Just four years later, another
politician of modest means got
into the race: former Democratic
U.S. Sen. Paul Tsongas, whodleft
the Senate in1984 after being di-
agnosedwiththe cancer. In2003,
Democratic U.S. Sen. JohnKerry,
a Vietnam veteran who first won
electiontothe Senate in1984, an-
nounced his candidacy.
Bythen, Romney, inhis second
year as Massachusetts governor,
was already laying the founda-
tion for his pursuit of the Repub-
lican nomination for the presi-
dency. Despite a hard-fought
campaign in 2008, Romney lost
theGOPnodtoArizonaU.S. Sen.
John McCain.
But Romney never really stop-
ped running for president.
After the election of Barack
Obama, Romney set about trying
to position himself as the 2012
GOP nominee a mission hes
all but accomplished.
Eventhoughhes aRepublican,
Romney has also been dogged by
the Massachusetts liberal label,
mostly for signing the states
landmark 2006 health care law,
whichbecamethemodel for Oba-
mas 2010 national health care
overhaul.

EASTHAMPTON, N.Y. Out
behind a small farmhouse on a
Long Island country road sits an
old gray barn where a tormented
artist dripped paint off brushes,
sticks even turkey basters
onto canvasses spread out on a
wooden floor. Besides making
quite a mess of
things, leaving
splash marks
everywhere,
Jackson Pol-
lock also creat-
ed some of the
20th centurys
greatest mas-
terpieces.
Pollock, who would have turn-
ed 100 this year, is being remem-
bered at a New York City fun-
draiser later this monthhonoring
a charity that aids struggling art-
ists, along with the Academy
Award-nominated actor and film-
maker Ed Harris who spent near-
ly a decade making the 2000 film
Pollock.
There also are exhibitions in
Washington, D.C., and at the
home Pollock shared with his
wife, artist Lee Krasner, in the
Springs community of East
Hampton now a museum and
study center. And shoe manufac-
turer Crocs is releasing a Pollock-
inspired shoe this June, fash-
ioned after the paint-splashed
floor that visitors can still see in
the artists barn.
I think Pollocks art is incred-
ible, Harris told The Associated
Press in a recent telephone inter-
view. I think it was revolution-
ary at the time and I think it kind
of holds up that way and it is real-
ly exquisite.
The fundraiser honoring Har-
ris, and the Pollock-Krasner
Foundation, which has given
$56.3 million in grants to artists
in 72 countries since 1985, is in-
tended to help finance and ex-
pandthe workof a separate Stony
Brook University-basedorganiza-
tion that runs the Pollock-Krasn-
er home.
What we try to give people
here is insights into who these
people were, what it was that
stimulated them creatively and
where that took themin terms of
their art, said Helen Harrison,
director of the Pollock-Krasner
House and Study Center.
Harris said that before he start-
ed filming in 1999 the exte-
riors of the Pollock-Krasner
home and scenes from a nearby
general store were filmedonloca-
tion in Springs; the interiors re-
created on a Brooklyn sound
stage he spent a couple of
nights sleeping in Pollocks bed-
room.
I was hoping for a visitation
which didnt quite happen,
joked Harris, who was nominat-
ed for a best actor Oscar for his
performanceinthefilm, whichal-
so was his directorial debut.
I cant even express howinval-
uable it was to me, he said of the
home. I dont think the film
would have really have had the
richness and authenticity it did if
we werent filming there. Just on
an emotional level, or a meta-
physical level of some kind, you
knowyoure filming a story about
this man and this is where he
lived.
Pollock, a lifelong alcoholic
who died behind the wheel in a
drunken-driving crash at the age
of 44, was a controversial artist
reviled by some critics and lion-
ized by others. His best-known
paintings were created by drip-
ping paint, seemingly haphazard-
ly, across canvasses large and
small. Some feature popping
bright colors, others are stark
black-and-whites.
I like to describe his work as
energy made visible, said Pepe
Karmel, a Pollock expert and as-
sistant professor in the art histo-
ry department at New York Uni-
versity. The lines curving
through space, changing direc-
tion, the colors; it is an amazing
image of the worldthat couldrep-
resent many things. Its totally
opened ended. What they all
have in common is the fantastic
energy that characterizes mod-
ern society.
Pollock was already an artist of
some note working in Manhat-
tans Greenwich Village in the
early1940s, but the move toLong
Island in late 1945 was the key to
unlocking his genius, many ex-
perts say. They also agree Krasn-
ers motive in separating Pollock
from his drinking buddies in
Manhattan succeeded in focus-
ing his attention on his artwork,
albeit temporarily. Marcia Gay
Hardenwona best supportingac-
tress Oscar for her portrayal of
Krasner, who was an artist in her
own right, living in the home un-
til her death in 1984 at age 75.
Today, Pollock artworks sell
for tens of millions one paint-
ing in 2006 reportedly sold to an
unidentified collector for $140
million but when the couple
lived in East Hampton in the late
40s and 50s, they struggled to
pay their bills. Harrison says
there was one bounced check
found amid Pollocks papers for
$4, andit was several years before
the home was equipped with
electricity and plumbing.
A key turning point came in
1949, when Life magazine did a
profile of Pollock, asking the
question, Is he the greatest liv-
ing painter in the United States?

PITTSBURGH Commu-
nities that struggled with road
salt shortages during recent
harsh winters that sent de-
mand and prices soaring are
now dealing with the opposite
problem huge stockpiles of
the material following an un-
usually mild winter season.
Some communities have salt
piled to the roofs of mainte-
nance sheds, garages and in
at least one case a former
railroad tunnel. Others still
have to buy hundreds of tons of
salt to meet minimumpurchas-
ing requirements in the con-
tracts they signed, but have lit-
tle or no room to store it.
We couldnt take another
grain of salt if we wanted to,
Tom Hartswick, manager of
Castle-Shannon borough in Al-
legheny County, told the Pitts-
burgh Tribune-Review
(http://bit.ly/IpbJOk ).
The National Weather Ser-
vice says the past winter was
one of the warmest in Pitts-
burgh since at least 1871, with
the city receiving more than a
trace of snow only twice since
March and just two dozen
times since two days before
Halloween.
Throughout much of the
country, it just wasnt a win-
ter, said Mark Klein, spokes-
man for Cleveland-based Car-
gill Inc., which supplies many
local municipalities with salt.
He said lack of demand
prompted the company to lay
off more than 10 percent of the
workers at salt mines in New
York and Louisiana.
More than 100 municipal-
ities in Allegheny and Butler
counties buy salt collectively
through the South Hills Area
Council of Governments. Un-
der the contract, they must buy
at least 80 percent of the salt
they order annually. During
harsh winters, the contract al-
lows them to buy 25 percent
more salt than ordered at the
original per-ton price. Other
communities take part in a
state joint purchasing program
requiring them to buy at least
60 percent of their original or-
ders.
Communities participating
through the South Hills Area
Council of Governments pro-
gram collectively ordered
157,000 tons last winter at a
rate of $53.83 a ton, - down
frommore than$100a tona few
winters ago, according to Louis
Gorski, the executive director.
Under the contract, they were
required to buy at least 125,600
tons, and Gorski said the
amount of salt delivered is
running substantially lower
than 80 percent because it
wasnt needed.
Our storage bins are full,
Whitehall Manager James Lev-
entry said of the boroughs two
bins, which hold a total of 600
tons. We still need to order
500 tons (by contract). I dont
know where wed put it.
Gorski said Friday that he is
negotiating with Cargill for the
company to stockpile salt for
communities with limited stor-
age space. The state joint pur-
chasing program, known as
COSTARS, already has a built-
in stockpiling option.
Emsworth ordered 500 tons
from North American Salt Co.
of Overland Park, Kan.,
through the state program, but
is about 110 tons from the 60
percent minimum, and will pay
$10 a ton to have the company
stockpile the surplus salt, ac-
cording to Paul Getz, president
of the council.
If we brought (the salt) out
here, wed have to cover it with
tarps. No matter how well we
stored it, wed probably have
less salt by the time next win-
ter rolls around because of wa-
ter runoff, Getz said.
Getz also cited environmen-
tal concerns because of a near-
by stream. In July, a water main
break beneath a South Park
Township storage area washed
tons of salt into adjacent Peters
Creek, killing hundreds of fish.
South Parks storage area is
an old Pennsylvania Railroad
tunnel, about 175 feet long and
20 feet high. Today, it holds
about 2,000 tons of salt, which
piles to the ceiling through
much of the tunnel.
Salt surplus soars
after mild Pa. winter
Stockpiles reach the roofs of
maintenance sheds and
garages throughout state.

Every time we have deep snow,
we tend to have more moose in
town.
Jessy Coltrane
The Anchorage-based biologist for the Alaska
Department of Fish and Game discussed the
situation facing populated portions of that state, still coping with the
aftereffects of winters record snowfalls. Moose-vehicle collisions
reportedly are higher in several communities.
THROUGHOUT my adult
life and career, I have held a
number of positions and
had a number of titles. I
have been a trainee, an
assistant vice president, a
VP/chief operating officer
and now, much to the surprise of my in-laws,
a president and CEO.
While my career has been and continues
to be exciting, this month, I will celebrate
the 16th anniversary of what has become the
most important position Ill ever have. In
April 1996, with a great deal of credit to my
wife, I became a parent.
For many of us, being a parent is the sin-
gle most important job we will ever do. The
title of Mom or Dad brings with it great
joy, but also carries a tremendous amount of
responsibility.
Parenting is hard work, and even the best
moms and dads need support and guidance
along the way. For more than a decade, the
United Way of Wyoming Valleys Success by
6 initiative has been a leading advocate in
supporting young children and their families
throughout Luzerne County. Today, there
are more than 16,000 children younger than
age 5 in the county, and Success by 6 contin-
ues to promote best and promising practices
that support positive parenting skills, early
childhood education and family engage-
ment.
Nationally, United Ways Success by 6
initiative is one of the largest networks of
public and private community partnerships
focused on early childhood development. It
is based on medical and scientific research
indicating that a childs environment and
experiences, by age 5, have an irreversible
effect on brain function and a lasting impact
on later success in school and in life.
Our children deserve the best we can give
them. The United Way of Wyoming Valley is
proud to be partnering with organizations
such as Head Start, Child Development
Council, Childrens Service Center, Wyoming
Valley Childrens Association, the Catholic
Youth Center, the YMCAs, Big Brothers Big
Sisters and others to help children from the
areas most at-risk families get a good start in
life. We believe all children and their families
deserve opportunities to succeed, regardless
of any demographic or economic consid-
eration.
The investment in our young children is
an investment in our community and is well
worth the cost. According to the Pennsylva-
nia Office of Child Development and Early
Learning, every $1 spent on high-quality
early education saves $7 in reduced future
expenditures for special education, delin-
quency, crime control, welfare and lost taxes.
To bring awareness to the needs of young
children and to recognize the efforts of par-
ents, teachers, caregivers and other adults
who play important roles in their lives, the
United Way will celebrate the Month of the
Young Child throughout April. We are hold-
ing a series of public forums focusing on a
variety of topics related to the importance of
early childhood issues. More information
can be found on our website, accessible at
www.unitedwaywb.org.
Parents are their childrens first and most
influential teachers and role models. Person-
ally, I always will be grateful for the love,
support and example I have received from
my parents, and I am proud to be their son.
My biggest hope is that when my two teen-
age daughters are adults, they will be able to
say something similar. For now, though, I
am just bracing myself for the prom, a sweet
16th birthday party and additional car insur-
ance. Yikes!
Parenting, when done well, is a wonderful
job, and the title of Mom or Dad couldnt be
any more rewarding. Hug your kids and let
them know how much you love them.

HE $10 MILLION
bounty Washington
has placedonthehead
of the founder of the
militant Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)
in Pakistan is further depress-
ing evidence that the Ameri-
cans do not always appear to
understand the consequences
of their actions.
Hafiz Saeed, the Pakistani
who created LeT, is accused by
boththe Indians andthe United
States of masterminding the
November 2008 Mumbai at-
tacks, in which 10 gunmen
slaughtered 165 people.
In the wake of the Mumbai
outrage, the Pakistani author-
ities, under huge pressure from
the Indians, arrested LeTs top
leaders, including Saeed. How-
ever the courts later freed them
all, on the grounds that there
was no evidence to connect
them to the crime.
The Pakistani authorities as-
sert that they have no evidence
against Saeedandcannot there-
fore charge him. So what does
Washington imagine it is going
to achieve by offering this sub-
stantial award for information
leading to Saeeds arrest and
conviction?
For a start
there is the
clear hint
here that the
Americans
appear to be
thinking that
Saeeds arrest
might comefirst, perhaps byhis
seizure by U.S. special forces in
an operation similar to that
which led to the death of Osa-
ma binLaden. The evidence for
his conviction would follow
thereafter. For a country guilty
of abuse of detainees inGuanta-
namo, kidnappingSaeed leav-
ing aside the violation of Pakis-
tani sovereignty would be an
extremely dubious act, which
the Indian government itself
could hardly applaud. This is
worryingly reminiscent of the
Wild West. It does not look like
the action of a government that
believes in the law.
Whatever the culpability of
Saeed over the Mumbai atroc-
ity, this is not the way to bring
him to trial.

T WOULD COME as no
surprise if David Suzuki
called an emergency
meeting of his David Su-
zuki Foundation to deal with
the sad news that the North
Pole was not melting.
Every eco-system has its
canary in the coal mine and,
in the case of the Arctic, its
the polar bear supposedly
dying off, say doomsayers,
because global warming is
melting the very ice on which
these bears need to hunt.
The trouble with this, how-
ever, is that its bogus.
Our Nanooks of the North
have never been healthier.
An aerial survey of the north-
ern shore of Hudson Bay,
where the polar bear is sup-
posedly most threatened,
shows a population some 66
percent greater than what
many scientists predicted.
The survey shows a bear pop-
ulation along Hudson Bay of
1,013 animals when the alar-
mists predicted the number
would be as low as 610.
These would likely be the
same scientists used by Da-
vid Suzuki for his sky-is-fall-
ing, ice-is-melting, canary-is-
dying fundraisers that have
Santa Claus drowning as the
North Pole melts.

HEEUROPEANCourt
of Human Rights has
done the right thing in
ruling that five terror-
ist suspects including Abu Ham-
za and Babar Ahmad may be ex-
traditedfromBritaintotheUnit-
ed States.
The reason for the appeal to
the European Court was that
conditions in the Colorado de-
tention center to which the men
would be sent if convicted, the
so-calledAlcatrazof theRockies,
are so harsh as to constitute a vi-
olation of the human rights of
prisoners kept there. Certainly, if
convicted, the prisoners would
be kept in solitary confinement
with only restricted opportuni-
ties for talking to each other.
But while there is no gainsay-
ing that U.S. penal conditions
are harsher than in Britain, this
is not a reasonfor refusingextra-
dition to a friendly, democratic
nation. If the men were likely to
face the death penalty, it might,
arguably, be another matter; but
solitary confinement is not
torture in any real sense. There
are certainly problems with the
extradition arrangements be-
tween the United States and the
United Kingdom, but this is not
a case in point.

MALLARD FILLMORE DOONESBURY
Questioning Tim Holdens
motives and commercials
I
was struck by Congressman Tim Hold-
ens commercial, aligning himself with
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey and Vice President
Joe Biden. I doubt that Casey, much less
Biden, would feel so tied to Holden.
How could they? The important Demo-
cratic initiatives set by President Obama,
such as the Affordable Care Act and ex-
tending the debt ceiling last August, were
ones Holden voted against. This is a Dem-
ocrat? Even the crucial effort on the part of
the previous administration known as
TARP, the rescue plan, he turned thumbs
down on.
This question might then be asked:
What is Tim Holden for? Answer: He
seemingly is for getting re-elected (10
times in the last 20 years), and he is
against anything that might jeopardize
that.
If Holden is a fiscal conservative as he
claims, does that mean that he wont tax
the rich that revenue-raising is somehow
not integral to reducing the national debt?
People from Luzerne and Lackawanna
counties now have an opportunity in the
newly reconfigured 17th Congressional
District to vote for a representative.
The oft-mentioned Founding Fathers
didnt see a role for professional (career)
politicians. They instead favored the con-
cept of citizen-legislators: people who
would go to Washington, serve and leave
with their integrity intact.
Matt Cartwright is a promising alterna-
tive to Tim Holden. We deserve better
than what weve been getting. A clue to the
whole mystery is that Republicans have
complimented Holden by securing all of
Schuylkill County for the reapportioned
17th District.

The entire staff and I value and appre-

compassion.
Last year our volunteers provided more
than 9,000 hours of service to our patients
and their families. Our hospice volunteers
visit with our patients in their homes and
at our in-patient units in Wilkes-Barre and
Dunmore, transport family members, make
bereavement visits and help with various
clerical functions.
I would be remiss if I didnt also thank
our very special four-legged volunteers and
their owners who brighten the lives of our
patients through pet therapy.
Our hospice team provides exceptional

sents the10th Congressional Dis-
trict that currently includes parts
of Luzerne and Lackawanna
counties and all of Wyoming
County.
A key part of Mr. Marinos
message in 2010 was his desire to
downsize Washington, and he
was pleased that one of his very
first votes was infavor of a resolu-
tion that cut 5 percent from all
representatives office budgets,
House leadership budgets, and
House committee budgets, said
William Tighe, Marinos chief of
staff.
The vote he references is
House Resolution22, that passed
the House 408-13 on Jan. 6, 2011.
If other federal agencies are
going to be asked to tighten their
belts, there is no reason why the
House shouldnt be able to lead
by example.
Tighe said that in addition to
the 5 percent cut from 2010 to
2011, Marino was able to return
to the Treasury more than
$100,000 in unused MRA dollars
in 2011.
To hold future expenses, Tighe
said staff salaries will be kept rea-
sonable, future staffing cuts will
be made through attrition and
electronic media will be used
whenever possible to replace tra-

hindering apprehension and ob-
structionof justice for her alleged
role in attempting to hide Gro-
nosky.
Last week, state police charged
Courtney Marie Sadusky, 23, of
Wilkes-Barre, alleging she drove
GronoskyandWilliams tothe Ca-
rousel Lounge on March 15, and
alleging she drove Gronosky to a
troopers house in Laflin to bur-
glarize, accordingtocourt andar-
rest records.
Gronosky and Williams are al-
so persons of interest in a home
invasion on Church Street, Ha-
nover Township, on March 26,
where the homeowners Ford Fo-
cus was stolen. During a pursuit
on state Route 115 in Bear Creek
Township and Suscon Road in
Pittston Township, shots were
firedat a Wilkes-Barre City police
officer chasing the Ford.
Connors said additional charg-
es will be filed as the investiga-
tion continues.

The unseemly topic dogged
Obama to the end in Colombia,
where he fought to keep a focus
on Americas trade relations with
partners throughout the Ameri-
cas. And it is likely to follow him
back to the United States as law-
makers in the Republican-led
House consider whether to hold
hearings.
When Obama took a question
about the topic, he was standing
next to Colombian President
Juan Manuel Santos.
Obama made tried to put the
controversyincontext bylauding
the agents who protect his life.
These men and women per-
form extraordinary service on a
day-to-day basis protecting me,
my family, U.S. officials, Obama
said. Theydoveryhardworkun-
der stressful circumstances and
almost invariably do anoutstand-
ing job. So Im very grateful.
He said he would reserve judg-
ment until the investigation is
done.
Five U.S. militaryservice mem-
bers were also alleged to have
been involved in the incident.
The Secret Service agents at
the center of the allegations had
stayed at Cartagenas five-star
Hotel Caribe.
The 11 employees in question
were special agents and Uni-
formed Division Officers. None
were assigned to directly protect
Obama.
The scandal probably is not an
isolated incident, a leading
House Republican said Sunday.
California Rep. Darrell Issa,
chairman of a House investiga-
tive panel, said he wasnt certain
whether Congress would hold
hearings on the misconduct. But
lawmakers will be looking over
the shoulder of the Secret Ser-
vice, he said, to make sure that
the agencys methods for training
and screening agents arent en-
dangering the nations VIPs.
Things like this dont happen
once if they didnt happen be-
fore, said Issa, who leads the
House Oversight and Govern-
ment Reform Committee.
AGENTS
CARTAGENA, Colombia (AP) The
Obama administration said Sun-
day that a key free trade deal with
Colombia will be fully enforced
next month, an expected but
important victory for the U.S.
business community, which con-
tends the pact will be an economic
boon for America. Labor union
officials, a key constituency for
Obama, said they were disappoint-
ed by the agreement.
Obama officials insisted they
moved ahead only after Colombia
took steps to halt deadly violence
against labor unionists.
President Barack Obama and
Colombia President Juan Manuel
Santos were expected to hail the
agreement at an afternoon news
conference. For Obama, it amount-
ed to a chance to shift some focus
back to his original mission in
Latin America creating jobs back
home amid the distraction of a
Secret Service scandal involving
prostitutes that all unfolded be-
fore Obama arrived.
The news of the trade-deal imple-
mentation came as Obama hud-
dled with about three dozen re-
gional leaders in hot and steamy
Cartagena as the Summit of the
Americas drew to a close.
Throughout his trip, Obama has
touted Latin America as a growth
region for U.S. businesses in an
election-year economic appeal
aimed at voters back home.
U.S. unions have opposed the
trade deal, saying Colombia still
has an abysmal record of violence
against labor leaders.

his pink pigs they come in vari-
ous sizes, but all arenamedPene-
lope have become expected
props at protest rallies.
If I am elected to Congress, I
think I will need a much larger
pig, he joked.
All props aside, all pigs aside,
Stilp says there is a leadership
vacuum in Washington. He said
hes appalled that there are only
three candidates for the11th Dis-
trict seat.
There are much more intelli-
gent peoplethanmelivinginthis
district excluding my two op-
ponents, he said. I canlead, not
just point out problems.
He said many members of
Congress dont work hard.
Congress is broken, he said.
I havegoneafter Democrats and
Republicans. I want to bring real
reform to Congress.
Stilpsays he will spendaround
$30,000 in the primary to cam-
paign and meet as many voters
as possible.
I know every road, township
and town in this district, he
said.
Stilp drives his late fathers
1997 Pontiac Bonneville. He said
he and his wife Judy dont have
children.
He said he designs inflatables
and has made good investments.
Stilp said he looked at the field
of candidates and decided the
district needed better leader-
ship.
I saw nothing to hold me
back, he said.
Stilp intends to preserve and
create jobs if elected. He would
work with high schools and col-
leges to assure their curricula of-
fer courses that are applicable to
the local job market.
He said every candidate is for
preserving Social Security and
Medicare.
But ask them how they will
do it, Stilp said. I will offer a
plan for the long run; we must
get this country out of its fiscal
dilemma.
Stilp wants Americans to have
affordable health care.
We need to make our society
healthy, he said. We have to
push for preventable health care
to hold health care costs down.
Stilp says the national budget
proposed by the GOP wont
work.
You wont find a middle-class
family who wants it, he said.
The Republican budget is like a
death sentence for our most vul-
nerable in society.
Stilp favors controlling spend-
ing and reducing the deficit. He
wants gas prices reduced and he
opposes earmarks.
Stilp said he has no problem
withabortionwhenthelifeof the
mother is at risk or in cases of
rape. He said he is personally
opposed to abortion, but he
feels its an issue best left in the
hands of women.
Stilp opposes Iran becoming
equipped with nuclear weapons.
He said he visited Ground Zero
shortly after 9/11 and he never
wants to see anything like that
happen again.
We must keep the defense of
this country strong, he said.
We must use everything in our
power to influence Iran to pull
back from this course.
On illegal immigration, Stilp
says the U.S. must follow exist-
ing laws.
We have to, Stilp said. Peo-
ple are here who shouldnt be
here. We have to find a way for
them to become citizens.
But Stilp knows his district
and his possible constituency.
He said the top issues remain
jobs, health care, senior citizens
and the economy. He said illegal
immigration has to wait.
Stilp favors campaign finance
reform, saying somethings
amiss. He said the impact of Su-
per PACs is too great.
Too many members of Con-
gress have been bought and sold
by these PACs, Stilp said.
Stilp said the natural gas drill-
ing industry has taken over
Pennsylvania.
These companies got the run
of Harrisburg, Stilp said. Its a
prime example of how large spe-
cial interests can take over a
state. We still dont know the
long-term effect this industry
will have on the environment
and our natural resources.
Stilpnotedthat heis thepolit-
ical outsider wholives inthe11th
District who is running against
the political insider who lives
outside the district. Vinskolives
in Wilkes-Barre, which is in the
17th Congressional District.
We need a strong candidate
who lives in the district, Stilp
said. If Vinsko wins, Barletta
will use that against him.
STILP
again puts Pennsylvania roads at
the top of its Worst Roads list
for the third time in the last dec-
ade.
I avoidthe PATurnpike when-
ever I can, because its too expen-
sive, said long-haul trucker Ed-
die Haun of Cincinnati, Ohio,
who stopped at the Skyliner
Truck Plaza in Dupont recently
for gas. What in the worlds go-
ingonwiththat road? I meanthat
stretch of highway between Al-
lentown and Philly is like a cow
path.
I drive exclusively for Smuck-
ers out of the Cincinnati area,
Haun said. If Im forced to take
the turnpike and pay the higher
toll, the cost gets added to the
freight tariff and just trickles
down to the consumer in the
end.
After years of relatively stable
toll rates, Turnpike Commission
Chief Engineer Frank Kempf said
hikes in recent years are in line
with a commission decision to
make a historic capital invest-
ment in surface and infrastruc-
ture improvement and bridge re-
placement projects along the
east-west corridor and northeast
extension portions of the high-
way.
We spent over $400 million in
capital investment in2011andare
projected to spend another $600
million in 2012, Kempf said.
When the turnpike was built in
1940, it cost about $1 million per
mile; today that number is closer
to $30 million.
He noted the recent $101 mil-
lion Lehigh River Bridge replace-
ment project in Carbon County
on the Turnpikes Northeast Ex-
tension as an example of their
commitment to improving turn-
pike road conditions.
Kempf said that at the time the
turnpike was originally con-
structed, it was a state-of-the-art
roadway, but that over time ii be-
came outdated in terms of infras-
tructure and design.
Most of our maintenance
went towardseasonal resurfacing
and stop-gap repairs, Kempf
stressed. We are completely re-
designing the turnpike to todays
stringent standards and thats re-
ally expensive.
Unique topography
According to Kempf, Pennsyl-
vanias harsh winters, salt usage
and varied topography make
Pennsylvania unique.
Weve got mountains, rivers,
swamps andforest fromborder to
border, Kempf said. It adds
enormously to construction
costs.
I have tosay that I -80 inPenn-
sylvania is getting better, said
Barbara Cederburg, a trucker
fromFort Worth, Texas, whotrav-
els the road with her dog Gigi.
But Im told by dispatchers to
avoid the turnpike when Imtrav-
eling through Pennsylvania and
that generally makes for an inter-
esting ride because the rest of the
roads go from bad to worse, she
said.
OLD
Truck driver Eddie Haun, of Cincinnati, Ohio, says he avoids the turnpike whenever he can because
its too expensive and says the stretch between Allentown and Philly is like a cow path.
Act 44 of 2007 tasks the
Pennsylvania Turnpike Com-
mission with an annual obliga-
tion of $450 million for the
next 47 years to help shoulder
the cost of rebuilding Pennsyl-
vanias transportation infras-
tructure.
The increased debt levied by
Act 44 resulted in annual toll
increases that make the turn-
pike, not only the oldest, but
now one of the most costliest
long-distance toll roads in the
United States.
A 2010 PennDOT study pub-
lished in The Pittsburgh Post-
Gazette states that the Penn-
sylvania Turnpike is now the
highest per mile toll.
The Act 44 bill was origi-
nally conceived as a way to get
toll revenue from Interstate
80, said state Rep. Ed Pashin-
ki, D-Wilkes-Barre, who voted
for the legislation.
Seventy to eighty percent
of all the traffic on I-80 is out of
state. However, the federal
government denied our re-
quest in regards to the toll pro-
posal. In the end, we needed to
find a revenue stream to fund
the states infrastructure pro-
jects and mass transit, he
said.
Pashinski said that the bill,
which eventually became law
and was signed by then-Gov.
Ed Rendell, saddles the Turn-
pike Commission with much
of that debt instead of placing
the obligation for infrastruc-
ture projects, as originally pro-
posed, on out-of-state traffic.
This issue definitely needs
to be revisited, said Pashin-
ski. The Corbett administra-
tion isnt doing anything
about this situation, and the
current law unfairly overbur-
dens the Turnpike Commis-
sion.
For its part, the Turnpike
Commission is holding up its
end of the long-term financial
obligation placed upon it by
Act 44.
The turnpike has always
been a funding partner with
the state, said commission
spokesman Carl DeFebo. We
basically do what were told by
the state.
DeFebo said the Turnpike
Commission has tightened
its belt in terms of oper-
ations, workforce and efficien-
cy over the last decade with
far fewer employees, owing to
their successful automated
EZ-Pass toll system.
A historical timeline of turn-
pike rate hikes shows that fare
increases were rare over the
first 50 years of its operation.
In fact, from 1991 to 2008, the
turnpike levied only one toll
increase.
Since Act 44 took effect,
tolls have risen sharply each of
the last three years.
State Sen. Lisa Baker, R-
Lehman Township, noted that
she opposed the Act 44 legisla-
tion and actually signed a let-
ter opposing it that was for-
warded to Rendell. It said
Northeastern Pennsylvania
commerce and business devel-
opment would be unfairly im-
pacted by the increased toll
structure imposed by the leg-
islation.
Im concerned with the
enormous debt burdening the
Turnpike Commission, Baker
said. I hope we can rectify the
situation in the very near fu-
ture.
Act 44 puts Pa. transit fixes on turnpikes back
Bill initially created as way to
collect tolls on Interstate 80,
Rep. Pashinski says.

PHILADELPHIA It was fit-
ting when the Philadelphia
Flyers flashed a picture of Hulk
Hogan on the big screen above
center ice at the Wells Fargo
Center after their winger Scott
Hartnell registered the final
body slam of the night.
Game 3 of the Eastern Confer-
ence quarterfinals between the
Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins
looked more like Wrestlemania
than a hockey playof game.
When the teams werent tus-
sling, Danny Briere, Matt Read
and former Penguin Max Talbot
all scored twice as the Flyers
pinned Pittsburgh against the
ropes with an 8-4 victory Sun-
day that left Philadelphia with a
3-0 series lead.
Weve just got to go after
them, go out and get the win
and get out of here, Hartnell
said.
The Flyers can do just that,
when they go for a series sweep
of the rival Penguins at the
Wells Fargo Center at 7:30 p.m.
Wednesday.
Weve made some mistakes,
said Penguins coach Dan By-
lsma, and theyve cost us every
game. There have been some ab-
normal things that weve seen in
pretty much every game weve
played, from Game 1 to this
game here.
There have been some
strange situations.
Things got really wild quickly
Sunday.
In the first period alone, scor-
ing stars Sidney Crosby of the
Penguins and Flyers sniper
Claude Giroux exchanged soft
punches, Penguins defenseman
Kris Letang received a game
misconduct for pummeling Ki-
mo Timonen and Penguins win-
ger Arron Asham took a match
penalty for cross-checking Bray-
den Schenn to the ice.
That triggered an evening
that featured three all-out
scrums, six fighting penalties,
six misconduct infractions, an
unsportsmanlike conduct call,
37 total penalties and 148 penal-
ty minutes between the teams.

Ty Wigginton and Lay-

phias struggling offense
a boost.
Wigginton drove in
four runs and Nix had a
tiebreaking double to
support Cole Hammels and help the Phil-
lies avoid a three-game sweep with an 8-2
win over the New York Mets on Sunday.
It shows our guys we can score runs
and we can knock themin, Phillies man-
ager Charlie Manuel said.
Scoring runs has been
a big problem for the
five-time reigning NL
East champions who are
playing without injured

Tigers 5, White Sox 2
CHICAGO Gerald Laird
homered among his three hits
to back a strong outing by Rick
Porcello and lead Detroit to a
victory over the White Sox,
snapping Chicagos four-game
winning streak.
Porcello (1-0) was sharp
against an aggressive Chicago
lineup. He allowed five hits,
struck out four and didnt issue
a walk in 7 2-3 innings.
Indians 13, Royals 7
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Tra-
vis Hafner hit one of the long-
est home runs in Kauffman
Stadium history, Shelly Dun-
can homered and drove in
three runs and Cleveland
romped past the Royals for a
three-game sweep.
It got so bad for the Royals
outfielder Mitch Maier pitched
in the ninth. Maier was the
only Kansas City pitcher to not
give up a run, working a hitless
inning.
Mariners 5, Athletics 3
SEATTLE Brendan Ryan
hit a two-run homer, Justin
Smoak added a solo shot and
the Mariners beat Oakland.
Smoak snapped a skid of 11
straight at-bats without a hit
when he lined a solo homer to
right field with two outs in the
third off Graham Godfrey (0-2).
Blake Beavan (1-1) threw seven
strong innings.

Red-hot Ortiz
lifts Red Sox
LOS ANGELES The Los
Angeles Dodgers turned a
bizarre triple play in the top of
the ninth inning, then Dee
Gordon singled home the win-
ning run in the bottom half for
a 5-4 win over the San Diego
Padres on Sunday and a three-
game sweep.
Matt Kemp hit his fourth
homer in three games as the
Dodgers sent San Diego to its
fourth loss in a row.
It was 4-all when the Dodg-
ers turned their first triple play
since June 13, 1998, against
Colorado.
Chris Denorfia led off with a
single against Javy Guerra (1-0)
and Chase Headley walked.
Jesus Guzman squared to bunt,
but the pitch came high and
tight and hit his bat as he
backed away.
The ball landed in front of
the plate and catcher A.J. Ellis
alertly picked it up and threw
to third. Guzman, startled by
what happened, didnt run to
first base, which made it easy
for third baseman Juan Uribe
to relay to shortstop Gordon at
second base. In turn, he threw
to James Loney to complete
the triple play.
Braves 7, Brewers 4
ATLANTA Chipper Jones
hit a three-run homer in his
return after missing two
games, Brandon Beachy
pitched seven strong innings
and the surging Braves beat
the Milwaukee Brewers for a
three-game sweep.
Jason Heyward also home-
red for the Braves, who have
won five straight after losing
their first four games. Beachy
(1-1) gave up three hits and one
unearned run in seven innings.
Cardinals 10, Cubs 3
ST. LOUIS Jake West-
brook allowed one earned run
in seven strong innings and
rookie Matt Carpenter home-
red, tripled and drove in five
runs for the Cardinals in a
victory over the Chicago Cubs.
Reds 8, Nationals 5
WASHINGTON Joey
Votto hit a two-run double in
the 11th inning and Cincinnati
avoided a four-game sweep
with a victory over the Nation-
als.
The Reds, who had scored
just 10 runs in losing five of six,
scored their most runs in a
game this season.
Marlins 5, Astros 4
MIAMI Omar Infante and
Hanley Ramirez hit the Miami
Marlins first homers in their
new ballpark, activating the
much-discussed home run
sculpture and helping to beat
Houston in 11 innings.
Diamondbacks 5, Rockies 2
DENVER Trevor Cahill
earned his first win with Arizo-
na and Chris Young homered
and drove in three runs as the
Diamondbacks beat the Rock-
ies to avoid a series sweep.
Acquired from Oakland in
the offseason, Cahill (1-0) held
the Rockies to four singles in 7
1-3 innings.
Pirates 4, Giants 1
SAN FRANCISCO Kevin
Correia pitched six effective
innings, Garrett Jones home-
red and the Pirates ended a
five-game losing skid with a
victory over the Giants.

There it was,
in the final
paragraph of a
Times Leader
news story
about a recent
Dallas School
Board meeting.
Dallas was looking for a pair of
co-coaches for girls soccer this
coming fall.
Its a long story, said current
girls coach Chris Scharff after a
victory over Crestwood on
Thursday night.
Since it was pretty darn cold
and Scharff didnt appear ready
to expound on the situation,
heres the short story.
Scharff and Abe Lewis coach
the boys team that plays in the
fall. With the girls switching to
the fall, he and Lewis couldnt be
in two places at once. Or could
they?
The duo had a plan hatched
where they could have coached
both. Scharff has been around
Wyoming Valley Conference for
decades, first as a star player at
Lake-Lehman in the mid-1980s
and later as a coach. His dedi-
cation and passion for soccer is
akin to George Currys for foot-
ball.
Lewis has also been a player
and coach, although he is more
like the deputy and Scharff the
sheriff in the latter department.
Still, if he had to, I have little
doubt he could run a team.
But the board decided it
wasnt feasible and nixed the
idea. That left Scharff with a
decision to make. It ended up
being an easy one. His son, Bran-
don, has two more years with
Dallas. Selecting the girls job
would mean he wouldnt be able
to see his son play or coach him.
It was an easy decision be-
cause my son is there, Scharff
said. If he wasnt there, wed flip
a coin maybe.
Scharff has run the show since
1999 and handing over the keys
will be difficult.
The girls, they play so hard
for us no matter what we ask
from them, said Scharff, who
won a PIAA Class 2A title with
the girls in 2007.
In one sense, I cant fault the
school board. But in another, if
anyone could have pulled off
double duty, it would have been
Scharff and Lewis.
MERCY RULE?
Yes, soccer has a mercy rule
like other sports, but it isnt well
known. Nor does it really cut
into keeping scores from getting
out of hand.
The PIAA passed the new rule
in December and spring soccer
is sort of the guinea pig for it.
Once a team leads by seven
goals, the clock does not stop for
goals, yellow or red cards or
injuries. However, one game
official told me that if the injury
requires extensive care that
would knock too much time off
the clock for example, an in-
jury that requires paramedics
the clock could be stopped.
The problem is the new rule
doesnt really shave much time
off the clock. Stoppages for goals
or cards usually last less than a
minute.
Still, the PIAA should let the
new mercy rule run through the
fall season and then revisit it to
see if any tweaking is required.
POSTPONED, LET US KNOW
Were getting to the part of the
season where school activities
force the shifting of some games.
Weve already had a handful of
games moved without notice.
Any changes in dates or start-
ing times can be emailed to me
at [email protected].
PLAYOFF DATES
Although nothing has been
announced, its a good bet the
District 2 playoffs will have its
quarterfinals, semifinals and
finals the week of May 21. This is
based on past scheduling.
The regular season ends Mon-
day, May 14, weather permitting.
That leaves the rest of the week
for makeup games, divisional
tie-breaking games and a prelim-
inary-round district game.
The state playoffs start May
30 with the District 2 champion
facing the D3 sixth seed.
GONNAMISS IT
Coughlin is playing its final
season at Guthrie Field. The
Crusaders will move to Solo-
mon/Plains Elementary when
girls soccer switches to the fall
because field hockey uses the
field, which is adjacent to Dan
Flood Elementary.
Although parking can some-
times be tricky, Guthrie has
always been among my favorite
places for soccer. The sidewalk is
close to the sideline and ele-
vates, giving a good view of the
field. The grassy hill behind one
goal give an up-close, upper-
deck view.
Karl Tuffy
Rhodes of the
Cubs began his
march to the
Hall of Fame on
April 4, 1994. In
one of the most
eye-opening
openers of all time, the Cubs
leadoff hitter smacked three
home runs and posted a tidy little
4-3-4-3 stat line.
The problemfor Rhodes was
he had to play the other 112
games in that strike-shortened
season. A.223 average and only
five more homers the rest of the
way pretty much assured hed
have to buy a ticket to Cooper-
stown like the rest of us.
At least Chris Shelton had a
fewweeks to flirt with immortal-
ity. In 2006, the Tigers first base-
man belted nine home runs in the
seasons first 13 games. That feat
had only been accomplished by
guys named Larry Walker, Luis
Gonzalez and one Mike Schmidt.
Fantasy owners who snapped
Shelton off the waiver wire had a
nice 13-game run. And then the
reality clock struck midnight.
Shelton hit only seven more
home runs that year and was
eventually shipped out to Corpo-
ral Klingers favorite Triple-A
teamin Toledo.
There are some times, mirages
dont need the sweltering heat of
summer to occur. In baseball,
mirages happen more often in the
cool air of spring.
Its just the reality of players
taking time to round into shape,
and teams making adjustments.
You could ride the mirage for a
while, but dont expect the wave
to last the season.
With that in mind, here are five
nominees for the 2012 Tuffy
Awards, presented to the players
whose April performance will be
nostalgia by mid summer.
Yoenis Cespedes, OF, As: The
former Cuban star may very well
end up being a good player. But
the power showhes put on for
Oakland in the early going isnt
likely to last the whole year.
Major League pitchers will make
adjustments to himand hell get
pitched around in the As light-
hitting lineup. His power is legit.
When he hits em, theyll go far.
Just dont expect himto sustain it
for 162 games.
Barry Zito, SP, Giants: Its hard
to believe that a decade ago Zito
was one of baseball best pitchers.
His 23 wins in 2002 for the As
were the most in a season by any
AL pitcher in the 2000s. Mix in a
2.75 ERAand182 strikeouts and
its no wonder he won the Cy
Young. But thats also the last
time he won more than16 games
a season, and the last time his
ERAwas below3.00. Since he
moved across the bay to San
Francisco in 2007, hes been
nothing short of awful. Most
wins in a season as a Giant? 11.
Lowest ERA? 4.03. His early-
season success in 2012? An aber-
ration.
Kyle Lohse, SP, Cardinals: Of
the players on this list, Lohse is
most likely to win the last
laugh award. He might be the
Cardinals best pitcher in 2012.
He did put up solid numbers in
2011with a 14-8 record and a 3.39
ERA, and he won15 games in
2008. But his career chart looks
like the Richter Scale. For every
sub 3.50 ERAhes posted, he can
match it with three over 4.50.
Right now, he has two quality
starts under his belt and a 1.35
ERA. Its a good bet he doesnt
keep that pace up.
Jason Hammel, SP, Orioles:
Hes had one great start and one
OKstart. But the great was pret-
ty darn .. well, great. When you
throw7 no-hit innings in your
season debut, you get noticed.
When you get noticed, people
pick you up on the waiver wire.
When people pick you up on the
waiver wire, they start you in
fantasy. When they start you in
fantasy, you revert back to your
old Colorado formand put up
batting practice type numbers.
Dont put up batting practice type
numbers. Dont pick up Jason
Hammel.
Omar Infante, 2B/SS, Marlins:
Trivia Alert! Which Miami Mar-
lin is among of the NL leaders in
HRs and RBIs? Yep. Thats right.
Omar The Tent Maker Infante.
But he wont be the answer to
that question come July. In real
baseball, Infantes a valuable
middle infielder. But in fantasy
baseball stats rule, and Infante
just doesnt put up enough of
them. Hes only been in double
digit HRs once and never had
more than 55 RBIs in a season.
Earth. Meet Omar. Omar. Earth.
Dont be fooled by a little early season success

JOHN ERZAR
G I R L S S O C C E R
WILKES-BARRE Chris Wa-
das and Deedra Porfirio scored
wire-to-wire victories in the in-
augural running of the Max Fine
5K Run on Sunday.
Wadas blitzed the course,
breaking the tape in 15 minutes,
36 seconds. The 30-year-old
track and cross country head
coach for Misericordia Universi-
ty outran second-place finisher
Frankie Redmond, 23, of Hard-
ing, by 16 seconds. Jeff Skwierz,
29, of Forty Fort, finished third,
15 seconds behind Redmond.
I went over the first mile in
4:59, said Wadas. There were
no mile markers the rest of the
way, so Im not sure what I ran
over miles two and three. At the
turnaround (where he could see
Redmond), I thought I had
about a 10-second lead. So I just
tried to stay controlled. Then I
picked up the pace a bit over the
final mile.
Redmondranfor Wadas at Mi-
sericordia. Both runners run for
the Keystone Track Club, which
is based in Harrisburg. Skwierz
ran for Lock Haven University.
Porfirio, 35, of West Pittston,
won the female division of the
race, finishing sixth-overall in
19:07. Jill Matthews-Lada won
second-place honors, finishing
ninth-overall in 20:21. Kerry Za-
wadski, 36, of Luzerne, finished
third among, clocking in at
21:34.
Porfirios win was her second
race of the weekend. She won
top female honors in the Lu-
zerne County Community Col-
lege 5K Run for a Purpose on
Saturday in 20:04.
I wasnt sure just how well I
woulddo after running onSatur-
day, said Porfirio.
Not a problem.
I ran in front right from the
start, Porfirio said. When we
reached the turnaround (Martz
Bus Terminal, just off Old River
Road), I felt good, so I pushed to
get a good time over the second-
half of the race. My legs are sore
now. But I love this course. It is
flat and fast.
The race, which started and
finished near the Jewish Com-
munity Center of Wyoming Val-
ley on South River Street, was
organized by the Fine family to
memorialize Max Fine, a history
teacher, who died in June at age
61.
We wanted to keep my fa-
thers memory alive, said Max
Fines son Mike, who served as
the race director. He was a kind
man known for his great smile.
He was and still is my greatest
inspiration. We hope to make
this race an annual event.
Proceeds from the race go to
the Muscular Dystrophy Associ-
ation.

Wadas, Profirio post victories
By ROBERT MINER
For The Times Leader
Wadas Profirio
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C.
Carl Pettersson had another
fast start and finished with a
2-under 69 for a five-shot victory
over Zach Johnson on Sunday in
the RBC Heritage.
Pettersson had a run of five
straight birdies on the front nine
during the third round Saturday
to move in front. This time,
Pettersson birdied three of the
first five holes and built a five-
shot lead by the turn that he
never relinquished. He finished
at 14 under.
It was Pet-
terssons fifth
career PGA
Tour title and
first since the
2010 Canadian
Open. He tied
countryman
Jesper Parnevik for most wins
on tour by a Swedish player.
Top-ranked Luke Donald
needed to finish eighth or better
to retain his ranking, but tied
for 37th and will fall behind
Rory McIlroy.
Johnson shot a 70 to finish
second at 9 under, while Colt
Knosts chances for his first PGA
Tour title fell apart with a 74.
He was third, another shot fur-
ther back.
Kevin Stadler (68) and Billy
Mayfair (69) tied for fourth at 6
under. Two-time Heritage win-
ner Boo Weekley had his worst
round of the week, 73, to tie for
sixth with Matt Bettencourt
(69).
Masters winner Bubba Wat-
son and most of the worlds best
took the week off to recover
from the years first major.
ENCOMPASS INSURANCE
PRO-AM
LUTZ, Fla. Michael Allen
won the Encompass Insurance
Pro-Am for his second Cham-
pions Tour title, closing with a
3-under 68 for a three-stroke
victory over Kenny Perry.
Allen finished the three-day
event at 12 under. He took a
five-shot advantage into the final
round, tying the tournament
record for the largest 36-hole
margin.
Allen bogeyed Nos. 3 and 4 at
TPC Tampa Bay to cut his lead
to one, but rebounded with
birdies on two of the next three
holes. He extended his advan-
tage to four shots with birdies
on 12 and 14.
Perry eagled the par-4 first
hole and par-5 12th during a
round of 65.
Allen also won the 2009 Se-
nior PGA Championship.
MALAYSIAN OPEN
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia
Louis Oosthuizen won the
Malaysian Open, a week after
losing a playoff to Bubba Wat-
son in the Masters.
The South African completed
a 3-under 69 in the rain-delayed
third round, then closed with a
68 for a three-stroke victory
over Scotlands Stephen Gal-
lacher. The 2010 British Open
champion finished at 17-under
271 on Kuala Lumpur Golf and
Country Clubs West Course.

I dont thinkweveseenalot of
that in Games 1 and 2, said By-
lsma, a former Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton Penguins coach. We
obviously sawa lot of it tonight.
Maybe a little too much.
The level we took it to is not
what you want to see in hockey,
Hartnell said. Its scary. Youve
got to keep your head up at all
times.
Hartnell tangled with two Pen-
guins first Craig Adams and
then James Neal in the final
fight of the night. He left the ice
to a standing ovation, and with
the image of Hogan on the screen
above him.
Somebody comes and grabs
me from behind, another guy
starts throwing bombs at my
head, Hartnell said. If theyre
trying to get under our skin, they
wont. Theyre just frustrating
themselves.
Mainly, the Flyers mastery of
Pittsburgh seemed to frustrate
the Penguins more than any-
thing.
After Jordan Staal gave the
Pens a 1-0 lead, Talbot tied it by
chipping a shot past Fleury and
Briere scored two straight to put
the Flyers up 3-1.
I thought the first two games
in Pittsburgh were crazy, but this
one was evenwilder, Briere said.
Coming up on top is really a
good feeling.
Neal got Pittsburgh back with-
in a goal with less than five min-
utes toplayinthe first period, but
Read answered for the Flyers just
33 seconds later.
Thats the way the day went for
the Penguins, who watched Phi-
ladelphia pull further away each
time they pulled close.
I dont have a good reason for
that, Bylsma said.
Maybe the reason is Philadel-
phias resiliency.
When Neal got the Penguins
within 4-3 with his second goal of
the game early inthe secondperi-
od, Read responded with his sec-
ond goal, too. Staal scored again
for Pittsburgh later in the period,
but Wayne Simmonds firedhome
a goal for the Flyers just 46 sec-
onds from the second intermis-
sion to get a two-goal lead back
for the Flyers.
That finished Penguins goalie
Marc-Andre Fleury, and Giroux
greeted his replacement Brent
Johnson with a score 27 seconds
into the third period for a 7-4
Flyers lead.
Talbot, who started the scor-
ingfor Philadelphia, alsoendedit
by whipping a shot past Johnson
with less than three minutes re-
maining.
We still have a lot of work to
do, Schenn said. The fourth
(series victory) is always the
toughest. And theyre not going
to roll over and die.
FLYERS
Continued fromPage 1B
He led off the inning with a walk
and advanced to second on
Bryce Harpers fielders choice.
Mark Teahen then moved Moore
to third with a single, where he
scored on Jhonatan Solanos sac-
rifice fly. Carlos Rivero later de-
livered an RBI single to make the
score 3-0.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre finally
got on the board with a two-out
rally in the fifth inning. Craig Ta-
tum singled and scored on a Ray
Kruml double to center to cut
the Chiefs lead to 3-1.
Syracuse (3-7) immediately
answered in the top of the sev-
enth inning, however, rallying
for four runs to put the game out
of reach. Harper, Teahen, Rivero,
and Jarrett Hoffpauir all had
doubles in the inning.
The Yankees would add a final
run in the bottom of the ninth
when Brandon Laird knocked in
Steve Pearce with an RBI double.
Mitch Atkins picked up the
win to improve to 1-1 on the sea-
son. He pitched seven innings,
allowing just one run on three
hits and two walks while striking
out four.
Starter Ramon Ortiz was
tagged with his first loss of the
season. He went five innings, al-
lowing three runs on five hits
and one walk while striking out
one.
Jason Bulger gave up four runs
in an inning of work, watching
his ERA ballon to 9.53.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and
Rochester Red Wings open up a
four-game series tonight at Fron-
tier Field in Rochester with a
7:05 first pitch. Right-hander
Dellin Betances (0-1, 10.80 ERA)
makes the start for the Yankees,
while Rochester will send lefty
Scott Diamond (2-0, 0.00 ERA)
to the mound.
YANKEES
But WiggintonandNix, two re-
serves Philadelphia added this
season to bolster its bench,
helped the Phillies set a season
high for runs while matching
their 2012 best with 14 hits.
Theyre new on our team and
it definitely takes thema while to
get the feeling they belong,
Manuel said. I know how much
they want toimpress you. It takes
them awhile to get used to our
team and feeling good about
themselves.
Said Wigginton: Anytime you
take the field and contribute, it
definitely feels good.
The Phillies tied it at 2 in the
seventh on Wiggintons sacrifice
fly to right that scored Jimmy
Rollins. Rollins couldve made
the second out of the inning, but
right fielder Lucas Duda mis-
judged his lazy flyball to short
right field. The ball dropped in
for a single.
Lucas broke back on the ball,
Mets manager Terry Collins said.
He probably had a shot.
Rollins moved to second on
Hunter Pences single to left,
then both advanced on a wild
pitch by reliever Ramon Ramirez
(1-1). Pence, incidentally, likely
would have been the third out:
His grounder into left field got
through the hole between short
and third because shortstop Ru-
ben Tejada was cheating up the
middle for a potential steal by
Rollins.
Nix, who had been hitless in
seven at-bats this season, dou-
bled home Pence to put the Phil-
lies up 3-2. Nixs hit nearly was
caught by left fielder Scott Hair-
ston, who charged into the cor-
ner and jumped for the liner but
had it glance off his glove and ri-
cochet into foul territory.
I think it was a good time to
get my first hit, Nix said. I was
happy to get my feet wet and get
something done.
The Phillies, helped by Teja-
das throwing error, tacked on
five unearned runs run in the
eighth, an inning highlighted by
Wiggintons bases-clearing dou-
ble.
That has been our problem,
Manuel said. We do get a couple
of hits andwe cant get a bigone.
Hamels (1-1) fell into an early
hole, giving up Ike Davis first
homer of the year, a two-out, two-
run drive in the first.
You put it behind you and
start back over, said Hamels,
who struck out 10 and allowed
two runs on six hits. You need to
get the next guy out and keep
plugging away.
The Phillies avoided a three-
game sweep at home against the
Mets for the first time since June
13-15, 2006.
The Phillies blew the game
open with five unearned runs in
the eighth off Manny Acosta and
Miguel Batista.
David Wright was 2 for 4, drop-
ping his average to .572 (12 for
21). Davis and Duda each had
two hits for the Mets, who got six
solid innings from starter Mike
Pelfrey. The right-hander al-
lowed one run on eight hits while
strikingout twoandwalkingtwo.
He was outstanding, Collins
said of Pelfrey, who was lifted af-
ter 99 pitches. It was another
good start for him.
The Phillies got a run back in
the bottomhalf when Rollins sin-
gled home Juan Pierre.
NOTES: Mets OF Jason Bay,
after originally being in the start-
ing lineup, was a late scratch. He
injured his right ring finger slid-
ing into a base Saturday night. .
Each member of the Phillies and
Mets honored the 65th anniver-
sary of Jackie Robinson breaking
the color barrier in baseball by
wearing No. 42 during the game.
During a pregame ceremony,
members of the Tuskegee Air-
men and two players from the
Philadelphia Stars, Harold Gould
and Mahlon Duckett, of the Ne-
gro League were recognized. .
PHILLIES
guins a 1-0 lead at 2:53 of the sec-
ond when he stole a breakout
pass behind the Bridgeport net
and cut out in front to go high
blocker side on goaltender Kevin
Poulin.
Tyler McNeely was able to tie
the score for the Sound Tigers on
his second goal in as many games
against the Penguins. The
Bridgeport forward tipped Scott
Oleksys point shot past Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton goalie Scott
Munroe at 6:03.
The Sound Tigers went up 2-1
with 6:05 until the intermission
as Michael Haleys slow-rolling
slapshot made it to the Munroes
crease where Tomas Marcinko
shoved the puck across the goal
line.
Munroe took the loss against
his former team, stopping 25-
of-28 shots and finishing the reg-
ular season with a 19-10-3 record.
Poulin picked up his 26th victory
for Bridgeport with 31 saves.

Mavericks on Sunday.
Ramon Sessions scored 22
points, and Gasol had 20

Lakers, who are 4-1 while the
NBAs leading scorer rests his
bruised shin.
Metta World Peace had 18

from a fourth-quarter deficit
before finishing off a four-game
season sweep of the defending
champion Mavericks, who
swept the Lakers out of last
seasons playoffs.
Heat 93, Knicks 85
NEW YORK LeBron
James had 29 points and 10
rebounds, Dwyane Wade add-
ed 28 points and nine boards,
and the Heat beat the Knicks
to clinch the Southeast Divi-
sion title.
Chris Bosh finished with 16
points and 14 rebounds for the
Heat, who pulled away in the
fourth quarter of a possible
playoff preview. Miami is sec-
ond in the Eastern Conference
and New York came into the
game tied for seventh, al-
though they fell back behind
Philadelphia after the loss.
Bulls 100, Pistons 94
AUBURN HILLS, Mich.

including a tying 3-pointer in
the final seconds of regulation,

session.

CLEVELAND Jameer
Nelson scored 21 points and
the Magic clinched a playoff
berth in the Eastern Confer-

his back.
Raptors 102, Hawks 86
ATLANTA DeMar DeRo-
zan scored 23 points and the
injury-riddled Raptors beat the
Hawks for their second
straight win over a playoff-
bound team.
Kings 104, Trail Blazers 103
SACRAMENTO, Calif.
Marcus Thornton scored 20
points and made the winning
jumper with 3.4 seconds left,
lifting the Kings to a victory
over the Trail Blazers.
Thornton hit a 17-footer off
an inbound pass before Por-
tlands Raymond Felton mis-
sed a desperation shot from
halfcourt at the buzzer.
Celtics 94, Bobcats 82
CHARLOTTE, N.C.
Rajon Rondo had 20 points
and 16 assists to help the Cel-
tics beat the Bobcats despite

SUNRISE, Fla. Stephen
Weiss scored the first two
playoff goals of his 10-year
NHL career, Jose Theodore
stopped 23 shots and the
Florida Panthers got their
first playoff victory in nearly
15 years, beating the New
Jersey Devils 4-2 on Sunday
night to even the first-round
series at a game apiece.
Marcel Goc had a goal and
an assist for the Panthers,
who survived a frantic Devils
rally in the third.
Travis Zajac and Ilya Ko-
valchuk scored in the first
2:02 of the third period, and
Martin Brodeur made 20
saves for New Jersey, losing a
playoff game to Florida for
the first time in six career
postseason starts against the
Panthers.
Tomas Fleischmann had an
empty-net goal as time ex-
pired and Florida fans littered
the ice with hundreds of toy
rats a tradition that dates
to the Panthers run to the
1996 Stanley Cup finals.
Game 3 in the Eastern Con-
ference series is Tuesday
night in New Jersey.
Feels good, Weiss said.
Obviously, these fans have
been waiting a long time for
this kind of hockey and this
is a big win for us. Not the
start we wanted in the third
period, but this is a big win.
It was the Panthers first
playoff win in 5,478 days
they beat the New York Rang-
ers 3-0 on April 17, 1997, a
year before the arena they
currently call home even
opened.
Predators 3, Red Wings 2
DETROIT Shea Weber
turned boos into silence with
a goal early in the first period
and the Nashville Predators
held on to beat the Detroit
Red Wings to take a 2-1 lead
in the first-round series.
Henrik Zetterberg scored
with just under a minute left
to pull the Red Wings within
one, but they couldnt tie the
game to force overtime.
Weber, jeered for smashing
Zetterbergs face into glass at
the end of Game 1, snapped
Nashvilles 0-for-12 streak on
the power play against the
Red Wings and helped the
franchise win its first playoff
game against them on the
road.
Detroit will need to win
Tuesday night at home to
avoid facing elimination in
Game 5 at Nashville.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Bowlers representing the Department of Veterans Affairs Med-
ical Center in Wilkes-Barre recently participated in a national bowl-
ing tournament through the national charity, Bowlers to Veterans
Link (BVL) held at Chackos Family Bowling Center, Wilkes-Barre.
The bowlers rolled a total of 45 games and sent their scores into
the BVL headquarters to compare against VA bowlers from more
than 100 hospitals around the country. The tournament was start-
ed in 1946 when World War II veterans were returning from the
battlefields of Europe. The tournament also featured divisions for
the popular Wii bowling game, allowing those veterans who are
physically unable to get to the bowling lanes the opportunity to
enjoy the sport. The BVL raises approximately one million dollars
each year for the nations veterans in need. For more information
on the tournament, visit www.BowlforVeterans.org. Some of the
participants, from left: Marian Skomsky, recreation therapist, De-
partment of Veterans Affairs Medical Center; Anthony Griceo; Carl

NEWS FOR

Timmy Walsh, from Camera For
A Cure, was hosted by the Lung
Cancer Alliance April 1-3 in
Washington, D.C. Walsh met
with Congressional staff, in-
cluding those in state repre-
sentative and senator offices,
discussing the Lung Cancer
Mortality Reduction Act. Walsh
explained the impact that lung
cancer has on families. He was
joined by his mother and two
other families dealing with the
same disease, one from Mas-
sachusetts and the other from
Georgia. The families, along
with the LCA staff, came to-
gether to talk about lung can-
cer statistics and the lack of
research funding. Camera For A
Cure is a
nonprofit
fundraiser
started by
Walsh when
he was six
years old. He
takes pho-
tographs and
sells them
with all pro-
ceeds going to the Lung Cancer
Alliance. Walsh continues to
raise funds for cancer research
along with other diseases and
causes. He is an Olyphant
resident and a student at
Wyoming Seminary Lower
School. For more information

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: My
friend Veronica is
obsessed with food
not just eating
it, but also talking
about it, looking at it
and watching me eat.
She frequently asks
me what Im eating, especially if its
something I have made. I cant open
a container of yogurt without her ask-
ing what flavor it is.
On a daily basis, Veronica an-
nounces what shes making for dinner
that night, what she made the night
before and what kind of desserts
she has planned. I used to share my
food with her, but I stopped when
she wanted bites I didnt offer. I had
to stop buying from the vending ma-
chine at work, too, because Veronica
began to expect to share. When I
refused, shed make joking snide
remarks. She never has any money to
return the favors.
Veronica will watch me out of the
corner of her eye. Or, shell stare at
what Im eating. If anyone at the table
has extra food or dessert, Veronica
will be the first to take it. She could
tell you what all five women at that
table had for lunch that day.
Veronica is a good cook and shes
not overweight. But shes driving me
crazy. Is her obsession some kind of
disorder?
Food-Shy in Ohio
Dear Food-Shy: Your friend does
seem to be preoccupied with food.
From your description of her behavior
its surprising that she doesnt have
a weight problem. Yet you say she
makes dinners and desserts every
night.
Could it be that she doesnt eat
breakfast or lunch, which is why shes
mooching off the others? Or could
she be short of money? While I agree
that what you have described could
be signs of an obsession, it is possible
that the woman is famished.
Dear Abby: Im 18 and a high school
graduate. My best friend was raped a
year ago. It took her a long time to be
able to tell me, and although I begged
her to tell, she would not go to the
authorities. She has heard stories
from other girls and has reason to
believe the same boy has raped them,
too.
I believe if she came forward, the
other girls might speak up. Then he
wont be able to continue to do this
to other girls. But I cant change her
mind.
Is there something I can do? Can
I go to the police and tell them what
she told me? Should I talk to a law-
yer? I dont want to see her regret not
doing something. Shes very fragile
and this is so hard for her. She has
told very few people. Please tell me
how to help her. I dont know what
to do.
Wish I Could Do More,
Birmingham, Ala.
Dear Wish: The most helpful thing
you can do is encourage your friend
to contact a rape treatment center. Al-
though the rape occurred a year ago,
she can still benefit from counseling
to help her recover from the trauma.
If she is reluctant to go, then give
her the phone number of the Rape,
Abuse and Incest National Network
(R.A.I.N.N.). Its 800-656-4673. A
counselor there may be able to help
her find the help she needs.
However, she needs to do this for
herself. As well-meaning as you are,
you cant do it for her.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Friends focus on food might be turning into an unhealthy obsession
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 may
feel strangely under-\confident,
especially considering your skill
level. Its so important to have
people around you who value
your contribution in an objective,
realistic and supportive way.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Sometimes you have time to
entertain those who behave in
overly dramatic ways. Right now,
youre simply too busy. Later,
youll be impressed at how these
people solve their own problems.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Dishonesty causes stress in your
body. Youll dare to be truthful
even when you dont know how
others will take it, and youll
keep your stress level low as a
result.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Youll
be taking part in an obstacle
course of sorts. Vaulting over
hurdles and jumping through
hoops might not be your idea of
fun, but it sure is good exercise
and will keep your mind and
skills sharp.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Everyone
knows you are playful. Your abil-
ity to hunker down and focus for
many hours at a time will be the
reason you get an assignment
and another person doesnt.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You
handle a tricky situation for
your team, and you might even
wonder, What would they do
without me? You should ask for
a raise in the near future!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Leadership is your calling today.
Constructive comments take a
little more thought to phrase,
but the loyalty you gain will be
well worth your effort.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
never expect the kindness you
show others to be immediately
repaid. Right now, youre building
up karma, and it will come back
to you in a big gesture.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Feeling uptight? Let your shoul-
ders descend from their upright
and locked position. Your job
becomes much less stressful
when you trust others to do
theirs.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Charitable activities appeal to
your sense of duty and your
community-oriented mindset.
Youll have less time to worry
about your own life when youre
helping others.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Projects get complicated, caus-
ing you to reassess your level of
commitment. Your luck, especial-
ly financial, will improve when
you decide one way or another.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The
people you love dont always
act normal. As for the new
people coming into your life,
they may not be so normal,
either. But you learned long ago
to tolerate a little weirdness.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (April 16).
Theres a certain goal that
eluded you in the past no mat-
ter how hard you tried to make
it happen. Youll see the first
signs of progress by the end of
May. Friendships lead to moves
and promotions in June. Family
will make you proud in August.
September brings a development
in your love life. Cancer and
Aquarius people adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 4, 14, 39, 20
and 11.
