WILKES-BARRE While there was no
written letter of resignation as of Friday af-
ternoon, Wilkes-Barre Area School Board
President Maryanne Toole said Superin-
tendent Jeff Namey has indicated verbally
that he plans to step down by June 30.
Namey told reporters after a raucous
March school board meeting that he expects
to retire before the end of his current con-
tract, which expires 2015.
But Toole said this week she has had sev-
eral conversations with Namey regarding
his plans, and Namey indicated to me ver-
bally when hes leaving. June 30 is what he
told me.
But, Toole added, I have nothing in writ-
ing.

WILKES-BARRE After delib-
erating Friday for more than sev-
en hours, a Luzerne County jury
found Benjamin Tyrell West-
brooks guilty of first-degree mur-
der in the November 2010 shoot-
ing death of Al-
icia Weaver.
Westbrooks,
22, of West Ha-
zleton, then
asked to be im-
mediately sen-
tenced on the
charge, which
carries a man-
datory sentence of life in prison
without parole.
And that was the sentence
Judge Tina Polachek Gartley
gave Westbrooks.
Justice is never served, West-
brooks said while leaving the Lu-
zerne County Courthouse.
Westbrooks said Weavers kill-
er is Brandon Crum. Westbrooks
said he will be filing an appeal.
Prosecutors say Westbrooks
shot andkilledWeaver ina wood-
ed area in Foster Township after
the two argued about money.
Westbrooks allegedly said Weav-
er owed him. Prosecutors identi-
fy Weaver as a prostitute and
Westbrooks as her pimp.
Defense attorneys alleged dur-
ing the week-long trial that
Crum, who was in the vehicle
when Westbrooks allegedly
pulled over on a dirt road where
Weaver was killed, was the shoo-
ter, and had placed the gun at the
crime scene sometime later.
It was a long trial, with a lot of
witnesses, Assistant District At-
torney William Finnegan said,
who prosecuted the case with fel-
low ADA Shannon Crake. Noth-
ing can bring Alicia back but
we got (her family) a first-degree
conviction.
During a brief sentencing hear-
ing, Weavers mother and sister
spoke with Polachek Gartley, as
well as a man who identified him-
self as Weavers foster father.
We just wanted justice for my
sister, Weavers sister Christine
said. Now, she can rest in peace.
Were glad its all over.

WASHINGTON The Obama administra-
tion said Friday it will for the first time require
companies drilling for oil and nat-
ural gas on public and Indian
lands to publicly disclose chem-
icals used in hydraulic fracturing
operations.
The proposed fracking rules
also set standards for proper con-
struction of wells and wastewater
disposal.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said the long-
awaited rules will allow continued expansion
of drilling while protecting public health and
safety.

WILKES-BARRE Kings Col-
lege Board of Trustees will meet
today to discuss a multi-million
dollar shortfall in the 2012-13 bud-
get that may mean a wage freeze
for staff and
lower financial
aid rewards for
incoming stu-
dents.
Those finan-
cial aid re-
wards, an
amount taken
out of the colleges budget re-
sources to provide students with
lower out-of-pocket costs for tui-
tion, are at the heart of whats pro-
jected to be a $4.5 million operat-
ing loss for the upcoming fiscal
year.
That follows a $2 million oper-
ating loss this current fiscal year
anda $1millionoperating loss the
previous fiscal year.
In an email sent to the Kings
Collegestaff andfacultythisweek,
Father John J. Ryan, president of
the school, said that while he was
not surprised by a projected bud-
geted operating loss for (2013), I
am surprised by the amount.
Of theprojected$4.5millionop-
eratingloss in2013, Ryansaidthat
$3.75 million can be related to an

PRINGLE OK, its promday.
Youneedhair curled, nails paint-
ed and eyebrows made extra-al-
luring.
You could go to a salon and
pay the premium to pros, or go
where pros learn their tricks:
West Side Career and Technolo-
gy Centers cosmetology room.
We do this twice a year,
teacher Mary Ellen Morris said,
Once for the semi-formal, once
for the prom.
The classroom became prom-
prep central Friday morning as
cosmetology trainees worked
their craft on fellow West Side
students as well as eachother for
the school prom that night.
Junior Tywanda Jones wove a
double French braid in senior
Jackie Josephs hair as effortless-
lyas most people donsocks. And
that was only half the job. Im
getting it curled, too, Jackie
said.
How long does all this haute
coiffure hold up?
Until I wash it in the morn-
ing.
Junior Jessica Mitchell was
finishing up about 45 minutes
spent getting her locks wound
around a curling iron in small
doses administered by senior
Lindsey Kelly.
Her hair was poker straight
whenshe came inthis morning,
Morris said, pointing to the cas-
cading ringlets. It doesnt mat-
ter how they walk in, they walk
out lookinglikea millionbucks.
All for a fee tocover the cost of
materials, no labor charge.
While Jessica had locks long
enoughtocurl, Lindseys natural
strands were decidedly too
short, but not to worry. She
picked up an extension that
matcher her color perfectly and
said Heres my hair.
In fact, as Morris walked
around the room pointing to ev-
ery girl with extensions clipped
to and hidden by their natural
manes, it started to look like a
good time to invest in bobby
pins.
Asked how many of the little
hair clips sere being used in one
morning, Morris laughed, point-
ed to empty boxes on a table.
Weve probably used about a
thousand so far.
Whilehair was at the, er, topof
the styling to do list, students
also got eyebrow and eyelash
work, pedicures and nail polish.
Sophomore Samantha Weiss
showed off still-drying finger-
nails painted in white, green and
silver. Why those colors?
My dress is forest green, she
answered.
And lest you think this is all
nothing more but fluff and frou-
frou, remember: They arent just
getting ready for the prom,
theyregettingreadyfor a profes-
sion.

Two women hospitalized in crash
AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER
A two-car collision near the intersection of Market Street and First Avenue in Kingston
sent two women to the hospital and snarled traffic early Friday evening. The women
were occupants of the car to the right with its hood open. Firefighters had to cut open
the car to remove the driver. Additional details were not available.
PLAINS TWP. Charges
against William Gronosky, 29, of
Nanticoke, for allegedly burglar-
izing a state troopers house in
Laflin and stealing his service
weapon were forwarded to court
Friday after a preliminary hear-
ing.
District Judge Diana Malast
determined there was enough
evidence to forward the charges
of burglary, theft, receiving sto-
len property and conspiracy to
Luzerne County Court.
Gronosky next faces a formal
arraignment in county court on
July 13. He is held in the Lu-
zerne County Correctional Facil-
ity for lack of $500,000 bail.
Courtney Sadusky, 24, of
Wilkes-Barre, waived her prelimi-
nary hearing on a charge of
conspiracy. She was charged
with driving Gronosky to the
house to commit the burglary on
March 22.
She also faces an arraignment
on July 13 and is free on bail.
WILKES-BARRE A city
man was arraigned Friday on
charges of reckless endanger-
ment and discharging a weapon
into an occupied structure after
an incident on April 17.
Anthony Parker, 27, of Carey
Avenue, was arraigned on the
charges by District Judge An-
drew Barilla. Parker was tenta-
tively scheduled for a prelimina-
ry hearing before Barilla on May
15.
According to court papers,
Parker allegedly told police he
was playing with a shotgun
when he lost his grip on it, and
the gun began to fall.
Parker told police he caught it
and accidentally pulled the trig-
ger, causing bullets to discharge
and put holes in a nearby apart-
ment wall.
Police said they later learned
Parker was drinking at a local
bar earlier in the evening.
WILKES-BARRE A city
man was arraigned Friday on
charges stemming from two
separate incidents, including an
incident in which, police say, he
led them on a brief chase.
Robert Donald Tyson, 42, of
North Sherman Street, was
arraigned on charges of escape
stemming from one incident and
10 charges stemming from the
chase by District Judge Andrew
Barilla.
Tyson was scheduled for a
preliminary hearing on May 15
for the escape charge and on
May 10 for the remaining un-
related charges before Barilla.
According to court papers, on
May 2, police attempted to stop
a vehicle driven by Tyson near
Wyoming Valley Motors. When
police made contact with Tyson,
he then abruptly sped away,
police said, traveling at a high
rate of speed and leading them
through several city streets be-
fore being apprehended after his
vehicle struck a guide rail near
St. Peters Church in Hanover
Township and he led police on a
foot chase. Power was out in the
area for approximately two hours
following the crash.

BEAR CREEK TWP. The
Board of Trustees for the Bear
Creek Community Charter

a new three- part review process

tion on the program, which in-
cludes three tiers of assessment:

fying those students in need of

Extension urban forester, and sever-
al Wilkes-Barre public works em-
ployees plant trees at Hickory
Street playground Friday.
WILKES-BARRE Bringing natural-
gas powered vehicles to Pennsylvanias
roadways requires more than an abun-
dant supply of cheap gas.
It requires an upgraded distribution
network bringing gas to public filling
stations that by and large havent been
built; auto companies and aftermarket
outfitters to build the vehicles, fleet
owners to buy themand government as-
sistance to get it all off the ground.
That was the picture painted by
speakers at The Road to Efficient
Fleets, a conference hosted by local en-
gineering firm Borton-Lawson, the
Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Com-
merce and hotel owner Gus Genetti Fri-
day at the Genetti Hotel andConference
Center in Wilkes-Barre.
For the100 representatives of munici-
palities, businesses and state and local
agencies and authorities attending, the
program offered a comprehensive over-
viewof natural gas vehicle technologies
and outlined a roadmap for local munic-
ipalities and businesses interested in
converting their fleet vehicle to run on
natural gas.
Cynthia Williams, Environmental
Policy Manager for the Ford Motor Co.,
said her company is in the process of
launching a series of vehicles specially
designed for natural gas conversion and
building its network of certified upfit-
ters to install the conversion kits.
The company is exploring many al-
ternative fuels and considers natural
gas a strong medium and long-term al-
ternative, she said.
CNG we see as a long-term-viable
fuel and we will continue to make our
products capable to run on natural gas,
Williams said.
Infrastructure issues

UNION TWP. Northwest Area
School District is joining Lake-Lehman
School District in taking the first step
necessary to withdraw from the North-
east Pennsylvania Health Trust, Super-
intendent Ronald Grevera said.
We are planning on submitting a let-
ter telling them we will withdraw from
the trust as of June 30, 2013, Grevera
said. Trust bylaws mandate such a letter
be submitted one year before a member
district pulls out.
The decision follows a meeting Tues-
day hosted by Lake-Lehman Superin-
tendent Jim McGovern. Facing a severe
cash crunch, McGovern aggressively
looked for alternative insurance cover-
age and said he found plans that could
save $1.1millioninthe first year. Grevera
said Northwest Areas possible savings
are similar.
Our district could potentially save
$800,000to$1million he said, stressing
that it depends on what insurance bro-
kers determine after taking a closer look
at the districts needs.
The trust is a consortium of area dis-
tricts formed in 1999 to use collective
buying power to lower insurance rates.
After several years of high premium in-
creases and recurring red ink, it began
building a surplus andholding rates well
below average increases market wide,
but that trendhas stoppedinthe last two
years.
Our increase this year was the high-
est of any school district in the trust,
Grevera said, a little bit above 10 per-
cent. And school districts cant continue
to be in that type of situation.
Board President Randy Tomasacci
was blunter. Every plan in the world is
cheaper, except the one were in, and
most of the other plans are better, he
said.
Grevera noted that submitting the let-
ter of intent does not mean the district
will definitely withdraw. The goal is to
see the savings materialize, regardless of
howit happens. If thetrust makes chang-
es that provide the same savings before
the end of June 2013, there would be no
reason to leave.
I dont think anybodys intention is to
simply kill the trust, Grevera said. Our
intention is to save the money.
Northwest Area joined Greater Nanti-
coke Area in submitting letters of intent
to withdraw in 2007, but the move was
blocked when the teachers union sought
and received an injunction form a Lu-
zerne County Court judge, who ruled
the move could not be made without
union approval.
Tomasacci said discussions are being
held with the union to avoid a rerun of
that scenario.
Pittston Area and Dallas School Dis-
tricts successfully withdrew from the
trust in 2007 then sued for what they
claimedwas their shareof atrust surplus
hovering around $20 million.

HAZLETON For a second, it sound-
ed as if Joe Sarge Heintz was back in
the Army.
Atenchut, barked the 82-year-old
former 1st Sgt. as he called fellowveter-
ans to attention at the rededication of
the Jewish War Veterans Memorial.
In unison they saluted as the flag was
raised Friday afternoon outside the for-
mer Jewish Community Center on
North Laurel Street.
Heintz organized the project to clean
up the memorial after a neighbor, Jessi-
ca Husty, brought it to the attention of
state Rep. Tara Toohil, R-Hazleton.
These people gave their lives for this
country, said Heintz.
Originally dedicated in 1959 by the
Cohn Kase Post 287, the flagpole and
concrete base with a plaque that read
In Memory of All Men and Women
Who Made the Supreme Sacrifice had
fallen into disrepair.
World War II veteran David B. Levin,
89, was commander of the post and
chairman of the committee to dedicate
the memorial 53 years ago. In a clear
plastic sleeve he carried a yellowed
newspaper clipping of the event.
The post was named for Sgts. Harry
Cohn and Louis Kase, who were killed
in action, he said. It has since merged
with a post in Wilkes-Barre.
Its wonderful, saidLevinof the pro-
ject. I often thought of doing it myself,
but I didnt have anybody to back me.
A new rope was installed, a new flag
attached to it, the plaque and base were
cleaned, the area around it was spruced
up and lights were installed to illumi-
nate it at night.
Toohil thanked all those involved in
the project and said it was a community
effort.
First of all it really goes to show
howmuch we really do appreciate all of
you veterans and that we do not forget
the sacrifices and the blood and the
sweat and the tears and the lives, the ul-
timate sacrifices that have been paid for
this country, she told the crowd of ap-
proximately 40 people.
Looking around at the veterans wear-
inghats embroideredAmericanLegion,
Veterans of ForeignWars andAMVETS,
Sam Greenberg of Kingston paused to
collect his thoughts.
Right now what it means is that its
brotherhood, said the 84-year-old past
national commander of the Jewish War
Veterans.
This is what its all about, to recog-
nize that were veterans regardless of
race, creed or color, he said. This will
live on. This will live on.
Husty, who has a son in the U.S. Ma-
rines who served in Iraq, had seen the
memorial at its worst. She read the ded-
ication on it and starting making calls,
she said.
The community appreciates the ef-
fort put into the project and Husty also
took pride in it.
It gives me a great sense of security
that veterans are being recognized and
that freedom still rings, she said.

WILKES-BARRE A Lehighton
woman was sentenced Friday to two
years probationinacaseinwhichpolice
say she stabbed a man, who had been
attacked with a stun gun by another
man, in July 2010.
Melissa Pankevitch, 28, of James-
town Street, was sentenced by Luzerne
CountySenior Judge JosephAugelloon
a charge of simple assault. Pankevitch
pleaded guilty to the charge in March.
According to court papers, on July 4,
2010, police were called to North Wash-
ington Street in Wilkes-Barre for the re-
port of a stabbing.
When police arrived, they said Pan-
kevitch approached them and said she
called 911 and that she stabbed Daniel
Hannon.
Hannon later told police after being
treated at Geisinger Wyoming Valley
Medical Center inPlains Townshipthat
he was sitting on the back porch of his
residence when Pankevitch and Wal-
lace Baldwin arrived.
Hannon said when the two pulled in
his driveway, it was dark and that he
could not see them.
When he saw who it was, Hannon
told Pankevitch she was not permitted
to be at the home without her mother
being there. Pankevitchs mother is
Hannons fiance.
Pankevitch allegedly said she was
there for her daughters belongings, ac-
cording to court papers. Hannon said
when he turned away from the pair, he
was zapped by a stun gun by Baldwin.
Baldwin and Hannon began to fight
over the stun gun, Hannon told police,
when Pankevitch approached him and
he felt a sharp object strike his left side.
He yelled for a friend to get help
when he was allegedly stunned again in
the neck, and stabbed again in the right
side.
Baldwin, 27, alsoof Lehighton, plead-
ed guilty in March to a charge of use of
an incapacitation device and was sen-
tenced on April 23 to four years proba-
tion in the case.
Both Pankevitch and Baldwin must
pay their share of $12,185 in restitution
to the Victims Compensation Assist-
ance Program and $6,905 to Daniel
Hannon.

COLUMBUS, Ohio Five ex-
otic animals are back on the east-
ern Ohio farm where they lived
months ago before their owner
released dozens of wild animals
into the rural community, then
killed himself.
The widow of Terry Thomp-
son picked up two leopards, two
primates and a bear from the Co-
lumbus zoo on Friday and return-
ed them to their former home in
Zanesville where 50 animals
including black bears, mountain
lions and Bengal tigers were
released Oct. 18.
Authorities killed 48 of the ani-
mals, fearing for the publics safe-
ty. Two others were presumed
eaten by other animals. The sur-
viving animals were found in cag-
es and placed under quarantine
at the zoo. Ohios agriculture di-
rector lifted the quarantine order
Monday, after test results
showed all five animals were free
of dangerously contagious or in-
fectious diseases.
Thompsons suicide, the ani-
mals release, and their killings
led lawmakers to re-examine
Ohios restrictions onexotic pets,
whichare consideredsome of the
nations weakest.
Now that Marian Thompson
has retrieved the animals, noth-
ing in Ohio law allows state offi-
cials to check on their welfare or
require improvements to condi-
tions in which they are kept. The
states agriculture department
says it will be up to local author-
ities to be alert to their caretak-
ing.
Ohio has done everything in
its power tokeeplocal officials in-
formed throughout this process
to ensure they had as much infor-
mation as possible in advance of
this threat returning to their
backyard, said David Daniels,
the states agriculture director.
Ohio lawmakers are consider-
ing legislation that would ban
new ownership of dangerous ani-
mals but grandfather in own-
ers such as Thompson. The bill is
on track to pass the Legislature
this month.
Should it become law, Thomp-
son would have to register the
animals with the state, obtain lia-
bility insurance and pay permit
fees of at least $1,000 by 2014.
She also would have to pass a
backgroundcheck, microchipthe
animals andmeet strict newcare-
taking standards, including fenc-
ing requirements.
For now, Muskingum County
Sheriff Matt Lutz saidthere is not
much local authorities can do as
long as the animals are being
cared for properly. At the first
complaint we have, well follow
up, he said.
Ron Welch, the countys assist-
ant prosecuting attorney, said his
office made several attempts to
persuade Thompsons attorney
to allow an inspector, the sheriff
and a humane officer to see the
cages at the property before the
animals returned. They were de-
nied.

Troops blast protesters
E
gyptian troops blasted protesters
with water cannons, tear gas and
live ammunition, trying to prevent
them from marching on the Defense
Ministry Friday in clashes that left one
soldier dead and scores of people in-
jured just three weeks ahead of presi-
dential elections.
The fierce street battles raised fears
of a new cycle of violence surrounding
the upcoming vote to replace Hosni
Mubarak, who was ousted more than a
year ago. For the first time in Egypts
chaotic transition, hard-line Islamists,
rather than secular forces, were at the
forefront of the confrontation with the
military rulers who have been accused
of trying to cling to power.

Beastie Boys rapper dies
Adam Yauch, the gravelly voiced
Beastie Boys rapper and the most
conscientious member of the seminal
hip-hop group, has
died. He was 47.
Yauchs representa-
tives confirmed that
the rapper died Friday
morning in New York
after a nearly three-
year battle with can-
cer.
Also known as
MCA, Yauch was diagnosed with a
cancerous salivary gland in 2009. At
the time, Yauch expressed hope it was
very treatable, but his illness caused
the group to cancel shows and delayed
the release of their 2011 album, Hot
Sauce Committee, Pt. 2.
He hadnt performed in public since
2009 and was absent when the Beastie
Boys were inducted into the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame last month.

Famed bear killed by cars
A bear that became famous after it
was tranquilized and fell from a tree at
the University of Colorado died when
it was hit by two cars after returning to
town, likely looking for food.
A photograph captured an image of
the 280-pound black bear in midair, its
arms and legs spread, after it was tran-
quilized April 26. It was relocated 50
miles away to the mountains and was
struck on U.S. Highway 36 which
connects Denver to Boulder around
dawn Thursday.
The spot where the bear was killed
was a little more than 2 miles from the
universitys campus. Both cars were
towed from the scene and one driver
was taken to the hospital with minor
injuries, the Colorado State Patrol said.

Super Moon will shine
According to NASAs calculations,
Saturday night is when the moon will
hit your eye like a big pizza pie, to
paraphrase Dean Martin. Its "super
moon" time.
The National Aeronautics and Space
Administration is letting its enthusi-
asm show in a new video on the sub-
ject. "The timing is almost perfect," it
notes. At 11:34 p.m. EDT, Mays full
moon will reach perigee the closest
point to Earth in its elliptical pattern
and "only one minute later, the
moon will line up with the Earth and
the sun to become gloriously full."
The moon will appear 14 percent
larger than other full moons of 2012.
"The swollen orb rising in the East at
sunset will seem super indeed."

WASHINGTON Employers added an
anemic 115,000 jobs in April as a shrinking
workforce shaved the unemployment rate to
8.1percent, down slightly from8.2 percent in
March, thegovernment saidFridayinareport
thats sure to spark concerns about the econo-
mys sluggish recovery.
Mainstream forecasters had projected
about170,000newjobs inApril, but theywere
disappointed for the second consecutive
month as a strong winter of hiring due to un-
seasonable warm weather seems to have
moved up job creation.
Thejobmarket was soft inApril, giventhe
tepid payroll job gain and the decline in labor
forceparticipation. But it isnt assoft astheda-
tasuggest, as it reflects paybackfromthevery
warmwinter, whichjuicedupjobgains earlier
inthe year, saidMarkZandi, chief economist
for Moodys Analytics. Underlying job
growth, abstracting from the temporary ef-
fects of the weather, is over 175,000 per
month.
Part of his optimism came from revisions
Friday that showed that hiring in March was
154,000, not 120,000, and that Februarys siz-
zlinginitial report of 240,000jobswasactually
259,000. Viewedover a longer stretch, the hir-
ing picture looks stronger than the single
month of April.
The White House seized on this theme.
With upward revisions of 65,000 (private-
sector) jobs to the past two months employ-
ment reports, in the first quarter of 2012 pri-
vate employment expanded by 697,000 jobs,
the largest quarterly increase since the first
quarterof 2006,AlanKrueger, theheadof the
White House Council of Economic Advisers,
said in a statement. So far this year, 827,000
private-sector jobs have been added, on net.
Government job losses on the federal,
stateandlocal levelsdragagainst that num-
ber, however. Private-sector employers added
130,000 jobs in April, but the overall number
was lower because of the 15,000 government
jobs that were lost during the month.
The jobless rate, which fell by a tenth of a
percentage point, is declining in part because
of workers exiting the labor market.
Thedeclineinunemployment alsoreflects
the expiration of the emergency unemploy-
ment-insurance program in an increasing
number of states. Older workers losingunem-
ployment insuranceareleavingtheworkforce,
contributing to the decline in labor force par-
ticipation, and younger workers that were
slowto take a job nowhave no choice, Zandi
said.

Unemployment drops much less than expected
By KEVIN G. HALL
McClatchy Newspapers
LONDONSodden fields. Deep pud-
dles. Flash floods. This is what drought
looks like in Britain.
Last month, water authorities banned
20 million U.K. homeowners from using
hoses to water their lawns or wash their
cars, saying two exceptionally dry win-
ters had plunged much of Britain into
drought.
Since then, the rain has hardly let up.
Official figures show that April was both
cooler than average and the wettest in a
century, leaving a trail of flooded proper-
ties, canceled events and grumpy resi-
dents.
But officials insist the drought and the
watering banremainto the bafflement
of many Britons.
In eastern England, Daniel Allen noted
with irony that hes been told he cant wa-
ter the lush foliage in the grounds of his
riverside pub, the Rushbrooke Arms
which is incredible as I had a river run-
ning through it yesterday.
The River Lark usually runs past the
thatched pub in Sicklesmere village as a
trickle.
Yesterday the river was lapping into
our yard. It filled up the car park com-
pletely, Allen said.
On Friday, Sicklesmere was one of 22
sites under Environment Agency flood
warnings, meaning flooding is likely. The
agency issued a further 61 flood alerts
across England.
The national weather service, the Met
Office, says12.6 centimeters (5 inches) of
rain fell across the country in April, al-
most double the monthly average and a
record since records began in 1910.
High-profile casualties of the weather
include the venerable Badminton Horse
Trials due to start Thursday but can-
celed for the first time in a quarter-centu-
ry because of a waterlogged course.

CHICAGO Men rarely get
breast cancer, but those who do
often dont survive as long as
women, largely because they
dont even realize they can get it
and are slow to recognize the
warning signs, researchers say.
On average, women with
breast cancer lived two years
longer than men in the biggest
study yet of the disease in males.
The study found that mens
breast tumors were larger at diag-
nosis, more advanced and more
likely to have spread to other
parts of the body. Men were also
diagnosed later in life; in the
study, they were 63 on average,
versus 59 for women.
Many men have no idea that
they can get breast cancer, and
some doctors are in the dark, too,
dismissing symptoms that would
be an automatic red flag in wom-
en, said study leader Dr. Jon
Greif, a breast cancer surgeon in
Oakland, Calif.
The American Cancer Society
estimates 1 in 1,000 men will get
breast cancer, versus 1 in 8 wom-
en. By comparison, 1 in 6 men
will get prostate cancer, the most
common cancer in men.
Its not really been on the ra-
dar screen to think about breast
cancer in men, said Dr. David
Winchester, a breast cancer sur-
geon in NorthShore University
HealthSystem in suburban Chi-
cago who was not involved in the
study. Winchester treats only a
few men with breast cancer each
year, compared with at least 100
women.
The researchers analyzed 10
years of national data on breast
cancer cases, from 1998 to 2007.
Atotal of 13,457 male patients di-
agnosed during those years were
included, versus1.4millionwom-
en. The database contains about
75 percent of all U.S. breast can-
cer cases.
The men who were studied
lived an average of about eight
years after beingdiagnosed, com-
pared with more than10 years for
women. The study doesnt indi-
cate whether patients died of
breast cancer or something else.
Greif prepared a summary of
his study for presentation Friday
at a meeting of American Society
of Breast Surgeons in Phoenix.

BEIJINGWith a series of
quickly choreographed steps,
the U.S. and China outlined a
tentative deal Friday to send a
blind legal activist to America
for studyandpotentiallybring
a face-saving end to a delicate
diplomatic crisis.
The arrangements, if kept,
promise to give Chen Guang-
cheng much of what he want-
ed: a chance to live with his
family in safety and to get a
formal legal education. It
would also allow Washington
and Beijing to put aside a ran-
corous human rights dispute
to focus on managing their ri-
valry for global influence.
As part of the deal, Chinas
Foreign Ministry said Chen
can apply for travel permits to
study abroad. The State De-
partment said an American
university later identified
as NewYork University has
offered a fellowship for Chen
with provisions for his family.
Spokeswoman Victoria Nu-
landsaidthe U.S. expects Beij-
ing to process the travel per-
mits quickly, and once done,
visas would be issued.
I dont think this is empty
talk here. I think they mean
this is a way out, and its a dig-
nified way out. Its a good way
out for the Chinese govern-
ment andour government and
for Chen and his family, said
Jerome Cohen, an NYU law
professor who met Chen near-
ly a decade ago, advised him
during the negotiations and
arranged the fellowship.
In a sign that not all was set-
tled, Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton offered a
guarded assessment.
Over the course of the day,
progress has been made to
help him have the future that
he wants, and we will be stay-
ing in touch with him as this
process moves forward, said
Clinton, who was in Beijing.

HAZLETWP. ThestateDe-
partment of Environmental
Protection on Friday ordered a
township property owner and
company to clean up illegally
dumped waste from a property
off Stockton Mountain Road.
DEP issued a field compli-
ance order to Penn Earthworks
Inc., owned and operated by Jo-
seph Umbriac, following an in-
spection of property at 55 Fall-
ingLeaves Lane onWednesday.
The materials consist of demo-
lition waste and waste tires, ac-
cording to the order.
The property is owned by Ester
Rose Rodriguez, whom Umbriac
called his common law wife; she
was not available, so a copy of the
order was left at the house andan-
other copy was to be mailed Fri-
day afternoon, according to DEP
Solid Waste Supervisor Chuck
Rogers.
Theorder instructs PennEarth-
works and Rodriguez to cease
dumping solid waste material on
the property, remove the materi-
als from the property and deposit
themat a permittedsite within30
days, and produce receipts from
the disposal site within 35 days.
If the site is cleaned up within
the 30-day period, DEP would
have to determine through a fol-
low-up inspection if the company
would be fined for any other rea-
son, such as if runoff from the de-
bris contaminated groundwater
in violation of the Clean Streams
Act, said DEP spokeswoman Col-
leen Connolly.
Fines could potentially be in
the thousands of dollars. We
would have to determine that
amount, or even if they will be
finedat all, whenwe do aninspec-
tion of the property after the 30-
day period given to clean up the
pile, Connolly said.
Rogers said DEPhas had illegal
dumping issues with Umbriac in
the past.

ing several incidents involving
thefts of sewer manhole covers

pose a hazardous condition as
pedestrians can be seriously
injured if they were to fall into
the open hole and severe vehicle
damage can result if a vehicle
drives into the hole. The police
department is asking residents
to report suspicious activity to
the department by dialing 911.

THOMAS YANOVICH, 88, of

Funeral arrangements are
pending from Bednarski Funeral
Home, 168 Wyoming Avenue,
Wyoming.
tribution, German said. It
makes sense.
And converting to natural gas
makes the most sense for compa-
nies and municipal customers
who store and refuel their vehi-
cles at a central location and that
use a lot of gasoline, German and
other speakers said.
According to Allen Westbrook
of UGI Utilities, Inc., powering a
vehicle onnatural gas saves about
$2 per gasoline-gallon equivalent
and $1.75 per diesel-gallon equiv-
alent, but vehicle conversion kits
are expensive from as little as
$5,000 for a small car to more
than$80,000 for a long-haul truck
withmuchof thecost stemming
from the price of thick-walled gas
storage tanks.
Refueling stations can cost
evenmore, fromtens to hundreds
of thousands depending on the
size of the station and its filling
speed.
According to Westbrook, the
Honda Civic GX the only out-of-
factory natural-gas vehicle on the
U.S. market today will pay off its
$9,500 higher cost at 120,000
miles, or in six years if driven an
average of 20,000 miles per year.
Agarbage truckthat gets only5
miles to the gallon, by contrast,
and drives 40,000 miles per year
would pay off its $75,000 conver-
sion kit in just over 4 years, mak-
ing it a much more attractive op-
tion, Westbrook said.
Government grants and tax in-
centives can ease the sticker
shock of switching over, and are
crucial to getting natural-gas-ve-
hicle infrastructure off the
ground, speakers said.
This market doesnt work un-
less we have public policy and
government help to help get it off
the ground, and we shouldnt be
embarrassed about that, West-
brook said. We shouldnt be
embarrassed about asking for
public policy help; solar and wind
do not exist without public policy
to make those things financially
viable.
Plains Twp. experience
Plains Township Commission-
er Jerry Yozwiak explained the
process his municipality under-
went in obtaining a $149,000
grant to purchase a natural gas-
powered recycling truck and re-
fueling station. That truck now
saves the township approximate-
ly $1,500 per month in fuel, he
said.
Was it worth it? Oh absolutely
yes it was worthit, Yozwiak said.
But government aid for gas ve-
hicles has dried up temporarily.
Under Act13, Pennsylvaniasdrill-
ing impact fee law, the state will
invest $20 million in natural gas
vehicles over three years begin-
ning in 2013, but the state is not
currently issuing any such grants
for gas-powered fleet conversion.
The federal government has al-
so offered tax credits for fleet ve-
hicle conversion in the Natural
Gas Act of 2011, but despite its
namethat act has not beenpassed
by the Senate.
The industry has found one ea-
ger partner in the Luzerne Coun-
ty Transportation Authority, ex-
ecutive director Stanley Strelish
said at the conference.
Strelish said LCTA would like
to install a fast-fill refueling sta-
tion the more expensive of the
two varieties that pumps natural
gas at comparable speeds to a

Street in Kingston, and to replace
its 100 buses with natural-gas
powered vehicles gradually, ini-
tially at a rate of five per year.
I think natural gas is definitely
the way of the future, Strelish
said. We at the Luzerne County
Transportation Authority are
shovel-ready for a fueling station
for (compressed natural gas). Un-
fortunately, the funding isnt

Mrs. Ann B. Sapol
May 1, 2012
her as a happy-go-lucky girl,
who was looking to get her life
back on track to do good things.
Westbrooks attorney, Allyson
Kacmarski, thankedthe juryof six
men and six women for taking
their job seriously.
Sometimes, (the verdict) is a
surprise, Kacmarski said, who
represented Westbrooks along
with attorney John Pike. With
multiple shots being fired, it was
tough. (We maintain) Crum did
the killing.
Kacmarski said in her closing
argument that there was no direct
evidence linking her client to
Weavers deathandthat twoother
peopleinthecar, CrumandDaniel
Smith, could also be responsible.
The day after Brandon Crum
appears, the gun appears. Why?
Kacmarski said. Because he did
it. Not my client.
Kacmarski told jurors if they
were guessing who committed
thecrimewhentheywent todelib-
erate, that is reasonable doubt,
and that means a not guilty ver-
dict.
Smith and Crum went on the
run after the homicide, and police
were unable to locate them for a
number of months, Kacmarski
said. Westbrooks is the one who
was in the Hazleton area and re-
ported to his parole officer for a
scheduled meeting, she said.
Finnegan said in his closing ar-
gument that Crumis the one who
gave investigators vital informa-
tion to the case and that West-
brooks was the one telling numer-
ous stories.
Why didnt he say what hap-
pened from the beginning? Fin-
negan said of the three different
statements Westbrooks gave to
police. Once police found out
(where he was) he had to change
his story. He ran out of time. He
ran out of stories.
WESTBROOKS
COLUMBIA, S.C. Fourteen
people in at least nine states have
been sickened by salmonella af-
ter handling tainted dog food
from a South Carolina plant that
made headlines years agowhenit
produced food contaminated by
toxic mold that killed dozens of
dogs, federal officials said Friday.
At least five people were hospi-
talized because of the dog food,
which was made by Diamond Pet
Foods at its plant in Gaston, S.C.,
the federal Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention said. No
pets were sickened, according to
the Meta, Mo.-based company.
People who became ill, the
thing that was common among
them was that they had fed their
pets Diamond Pet Foods, said
CDCspokeswoman Lola Russell.
Three people each were infect-
ed in Missouri and North Caroli-
na; two people in Ohio; and one
person each in Alabama, Connec-
ticut, Michigan, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and Virginia, the
CDC said.
Our folks are really wanting
people to be aware of it. They
want to be aware that this is caus-
ing people to get sick because
they may have product in their
homes. For every one that is re-
ported, there may be 29 others,
Russell said.
People can get salmonella by
handling infected dog food, then
not washing their hands before
eating or handling their own
food, health officials said.
The South Carolina plant tem-
porarily was shut down April 8.
Diamond Pet Foods has issued
four rounds of recalls for food
made at the plant, located out-
side of Columbia, S.C., between
Dec. 9 and April 7. The latest re-
calls were announced Friday.
We took corrective actions at
the plant, and today the plant is
upandrunning. Our missionis to
produce safe pet foods for our
customers and their pets in all
Diamond facilities, the compa-
ny saidina writtenstatement Fri-
day.
In 2005, a toxic mold called
aflatoxin ended up in food made
at the same Diamond Pet Foods
plant in South Carolina and doz-
ens of dogs died. The company
offered a $3.1 million settlement.
FDA officials were not immedi-
ately available for comment Fri-
day on the most recent problems
with the plant.

HARRISBURG New docu-
ments filed by the attorneys for
former Penn State assistant
coach Jerry Sandusky suggest
there are at least 17 accusers in
the child sexual abuse case, a
much higher number than de-
scribed in criminal charges.
The requests, dated April 16
and April 23, were attached to a
motion filed Thursday in which
Sandusky defense attorney Joe
Amendola asked the supervis-
ing judge to mandate more dis-
closure of investigative materi-
als.
The criminal charges against
the former Penn State assistant
football coach only pertain to
boys named as Victims 1
through 10 in court records.
The April 16 discovery re-
quest asked for information on
uncharged conduct evidence,
while the one filed a week later
pertained to employment re-
cords.
The court filing did not name
the people, explain what might
make them accusers or indicate
what role, if any, they play in the
criminal case in which Sandus-
ky has denied all allegations.
This in all likelihood means
that there are other people who
have come forward who have ac-
cused him of improper sexual
conduct, said Wes Oliver, a
Widener Law School professor
who specializes in criminal law.
Asked about the eight sup-
posed accusers, Sandusky de-
fense lawyer Karl Rominger in-
dicated the basis for the re-
quests grew from previous ma-
terial disclosed to the defense
by the attorney generals office.
The April 23 request referred
to all individuals identified as
Accusers 11 through 17 as well
as 18 through an unknown num-
ber.
The requests we made are
based on what we believe
should be provided, based on in-
formation weve received to
date, Rominger said.
A spokesman for the attorney
generals office declined to com-
ment, citing a gag order issued
by the presiding judge.
Lawyers for potential civil liti-
gants have said there are accus-
ers beyond the 10 alleged vic-
tims for which Sandusky, 68,
faces 52 criminal charges. One
alleged victim has filed a law-
suit in Philadelphia that is on
hold while the criminal case
proceeds.
There are many possible rea-
sons why prosecutors might not
file charges based on the claims
of a purported victim, from
problems with the statute of
limitations and questions about
credibility to a strategic analysis
about how much evidence to
put before jurors.
Information about any addi-
tional accusers for which Sand-
usky has not been charged could
help the defense try to under-
mine the credibility of the pros-
ecutions case, said University
of Pittsburgh lawprofessor John
Burkoff, an expert on Pennsylva-
nia criminal law procedure.
At least seven more
Sandusky accusers
Only 10 accusers mentioned in
criminal charges. New filings
reference seven or more.

STATE COLLEGE Penn
State alumni elected three new
members to the university board
of trustees, including a well-
known former football player
who recovered from a spinal
cord injury and a businessman
who has criticizedthe boards ac-
tions after Jerry Sanduskys ar-
rest in a child sex-abuse scandal.
Alumni elected lawyer Adam
Taliaferro, who played for the
late coach Joe Paterno; promi-
nent donor and outspoken board
critic Anthony Lubrano; and re-
tired U.S. Navy captain Ryan
McCombie.
Election results were an-
nounced Friday following more
than three weeks of online vot-
ing that drewa record turnout of
at least 37,000. The newtrustees
begin their three-year terms July
1.
All three newcomers have ex-
pressed varying degrees of crit-
icism of the board, but no one
more so than Lubrano, who has
been especially critical of the
boards ouster of Paterno days af-
ter Sandusky was charged in No-
vember. Alumni sent a message
that they were dissatisfied with
the boards decisions, Lubrano
said following the trustees meet-
ingduringwhichelectionresults
were announced.
But Lubrano added in a state-
ment, Though I have been an
outspoken critic of the manner
inwhich(the board) handledthe
firing of Coach Paterno and the
events that followed, I under-
stand the importance to all of us
toheal as a PennState communi-
ty.
Current members have al-
ready started reaching out to
alumni watchdog groups that
called for change, board chair-
woman Karen Peetz said. She
did not anticipate problems
working with the new trustees.
I think the board is always
open to discussing what the is-
sues are, whether its incoming
members or people who are al-
ready on the board, she said af-
ter being asked if the election
sent a message to trustees.
Taliaferro, who practices law
in Cherry Hill, N.J., led the elec-
tion with 15,629 votes, followed
by Lubrano, a financial services
executive from Exton, with
10,096 and McCombie, a 1970
graduate who lives in State Col-
lege, with 4,806.
Taliaferro, a 2005 graduate, is
a former defensive back for Pa-
terno who became well known
for his courageous recovery from
a career-ending spinal-cord inju-
ry suffered his freshman year in
2000 during a game at Ohio
State. He also won election last
year as a freeholder in Glouces-
ter County, N.J.
At the end of the day, were
goingtohavetoworktogether to
come up with solutions to prob-
lems going forward, Taliaferro
said in a phone interview.
McCombie was attending a com-
missioning ceremony on cam-
pus and did not attend the meet-
ing.
Of the three incumbents
whose terms are expiring, only
retired schoolteacher Anne Ri-
ley ran again, losing her re-elec-
tion bid. A State College resi-
dent, Riley is one of the boards
more well-known members and
a frequent visitor to campus
Former newspaper editor Da-
vid Jones has said he decided
two years ago to limit his tenure
on the board. The third, David
Joyner, left the board because he
is now the schools acting athlet-
ic director.
All three were part of a board
in November that unanimously
voted to oust Paterno as head
coach in the aftermath of the
charges against Sandusky, a re-
tired assistant coach. Paterno
died in January at age 85, less
thanthree months after being di-
agnosed with lung cancer.
The head coach testified be-
fore a state grand jury about a
2002 allegation against Sandus-
ky that was passedontohimby a
graduate assistant. Paterno ful-
filled a legal obligation by relay-
ing the accusations to his superi-
ors, one of whom oversaw cam-
pus police.
Trustees have said Paterno
had a moral obligation to do
more, and have also cited a fail-
ure of leadership in severing
ties with the coach.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.
Heres what Cinco de Mayo has
become in the U.S.: a celebration
of all things Mexican, frommaria-
chi music to sombreros, marked
byschools, politicians andcompa-
nies selling everything
frombeans to beer.
And heres what Cin-
co de Mayo is not, de-
spite all the signs in bar
windows inviting revel-
ers to drink: Its not
Mexicos Independ-
enceDay, andits barely
marked in Mexico, ex-
cept in the state of Pue-
bla, where the holiday
is rootedinacomplicat-
ed and short-lived 1862
military victory over
the French.
But dont let that
spoil the party.
In Houston, ballet folklorico
dancers will ring in Cinco de
Mayo by stomping to traditional
Mexicanmusicinacitypark. New
York City will close parts of Span-
ish Harlem and Queens for street
fairs as Mexican flags flap from
apartment fire escapes andcar an-
tennas. Albuquerque honors the
day with a Mariachi concert and
free cab rides for those who show
their love for Mexico with a little
toomuchDosEquisXXortequila.
Even West Des Moines, Iowa, has
an all-day festival with Mexican
food, artwork and live music.
The holiday has spread from
the American Southwest, even
though most are unaware of its
original ties to the U.S. Civil War,
abolition and promotion of civil
rights for blacks.
Often mistaken for Mexican In-
dependence Day (thats Sept. 16),
Cinco de Mayo commemorates
the1862 Battle of Puebla between
the victorious ragtag army of
largely Mexican Indian soldiers
against theinvadingFrenchforces
of Napoleon III. Mexican Ameri-
cans, during the Chicano Move-
ment of the1970s, adoptedtheho-
liday for its David vs. Goliath sto-
rylineasmotivationforcivil rights
struggles in Texas and California.
Over the years, the holiday has
been adopted by beer companies
as a way to penetrate the growing
Latino market, even as the histor-
ical origins of the holiday remain
largely forgotten.
David Hayes-Bautista, a profes-
sor of medicine and health servic-
es at UCLAandauthor of thenew-
ly released El Cinco de Mayo: An
American Tradition, said the ho-
lidays history in the U.S. goes
back to the GoldRushwhenthou-
sands of immigrants from Mexi-
co, Central and South America
came toCalifornia duringthe Civ-
il War.
According to Spanish-language
newspapers at the time, this first
group of multinational Latinos on
U.S. soil identifiedwiththe Union
Armys fight against theConfeder-
acy and often wrote pieces about
the evils of slavery. Hayes-Bautis-
ta said these Latino immigrants
were concernedabout the Unions
lackof progressandNapoleonIIIs
interests in helping the South.
It wasnt until the news came
about the Battle of Puebla that
theygot the goodnews theywant-
ed, said Hayes-Bautista. Since
Napoleon III was linked to the
Confederacy, they sawthe victory
as the first sign that their side
could win.
But in the years that followed,
Latinos in California and the U.S.
Northwest celebrated Cinco de
Mayo with parades of people
dressedinCivil War uniforms and
gave speeches about the signifi-
canceof theBattleof Pueblainthe
larger struggle for abolition, said
Hayes-Bautista.
The date received another jolt
during World War II during the
U.S. governments Good Neigh-
borhoodPolicyaimedat building
good relationships with Mexico
and during the Chicano Move-
ment, when Mexican American
activists adopted the day to rein-
force civil rights demands. Two
police beatings of Cinco de Mayo
revelers oneinHoustonin1978
and the other in Washington DC
in 1991 resulted in riots and
sparked protests and calls for re-
forms fromLatino advocates.
The holiday spread outside of
the American Southwest as more
Latinos moved to new areas
around the country. Jody Agius
Vallejo, a sociologypro-
fessor at the University
of Southern California
and author of Barrios
to Burbs: The Making
of the Mexican-Ameri-
can Middle Class, said
Cinco de Mayo is now
used by assimilated
Mexican Americans as
aneasy way for themto
showcase their ethnic
identity.
Its very similar to
how Irish-Americans
celebrate St. Patricks
Day, saidVallejo. One
way they can honor
their ethnicity is to celebrate this
day, even when most dont know
why.
But not all buy in. To others,
she added, this holiday is kind of
viewed as a joke because they feel
its their culture that is being ap-
propriated and exploited.
Hayes-Bautista said because
thethemeandfocus aroundCinco
de Mayo has transformed a num-
ber of times, it wont besurprising
if it changes again.
Cinco de Mayo is
more noted in U.S.
May 5 is not Mexicos
Independence Day and its
only marked in Puebla.

PHILADELPHIA Five
priests were deemed unsuitable
for ministry because of substan-
tiated allegations of sexual abuse
or other inappropriate conduct,
the citys Roman Catholic arch-
bishop said Friday.
Three other priests would re-
turn to the ministry and another
died during the investigation,
Charles Chaput said. He said 17
other cases were investigated,
but the findings were not being
immediately announced.
The announcements come
during Monsigner William J.
Lynns trial. Lynn is charged with
child endangerment for his hand-
ling of abuse complaints.
The 2011grandjury report that
led to Lynns case also alleged
dozens of accused priests were
still active in Philadelphia, de-
spite a zero-tolerance policy
among U.S. bishops. A 2005
grand jury report had blasted the
churchfor ignoringor dismissing
sexual-abuse complaints made
against 63 priests in the archdio-
cese over many decades.
The 2011 report said the arch-
diocese was continuing to down-
play complaints or focus on mi-
nor discrepancies to find them
not credible.
The archdiocese responded by
suspendingthe priests andhiring
a former child sex-crimes prose-
cutor, Gina Maisto Smith, to re-
examine complaints involving
active priests.

BOGOTA, Colombia A
woman who says she was the
prostitute who triggered the U.S.
Secret Service scandal in Colom-
bia said Friday that the agents in-
volved were idiots for letting it
happen, and declared that if she
were a spy and sensitive informa-
tionwas available, she couldhave
easily obtained it.
The woman said she spent five
hours in a Cartagena, Colombia,
hotel room with an agent, and
while she barely got cab fare out
of him, she could have gotten in-
formation that would have com-
promised the security of U.S.
President Barack Obama if the
agent had any.
Totally, she
replied when
asked.
The man
slept all night,
said the wom-
an, who was
identified by
her lawyer as Dania Londono
Suarez. If I had wanted to, I
could have gone through all his
documents, his wallet, his suit-
case.
She saidinthe 90-minute inter-
view with Colombias W Radio
conducted in Spain that no U.S.
investigator had been in touch
with her, although reporters de-
scended on her home a week af-
ter the incident when a taxi driv-
er led them to it.
They could track me any-
where in the world that I go but
they havent done so, she said,
speaking in Spanish. If the Se-
cret Service agents were idiots,
imagine the investigators.
That alarmed a U.S. congress-
man who is monitoring the case.
Rep. Peter King, chairman of
the House Homeland Security
Committee, issued a statement
on Friday expressing concern
that investigators have been un-
able to locate and interview two
of the female foreign nationals in-
volved, including Londono. I
have asked the Secret Service for
an explanation of how they have
failed to find this woman when
the news media seems to have no
trouble doing so.
Eight Secret Service agents
have lost their jobs inthe scandal,
althoughthere is noevidence any
of the 10 women interviewed by
U.S. investigators for their roles
in it have any connection to ter-
rorist groups, King said earlier
this week.
In the interview, Londono
called the Secret Service agents
caught up in the scandal fools
for being from Obamas security
and letting all this happen.
When I said, Imgoing to call
the police so they pay me my
money, and it didnt bother
them, didnt they see the magni-
tude of the problem? she said.
Londono said the man she
slept with never identified him-
self as a member of Obamas ad-
vance security detail for the April
14-15 Summit of the Americas
and said she saw nothing in his
room that would have indicated
the mans job other than a brown
uniform.
Londono said the man had
agreed to pay her $800, but that
she never would have made a
public fuss about his failure to
pay had she known he was part of
Obamas security detail and real-
ized the repercussions it would
have for her.
My life is practically de-
stroyed, she said. My name is in
the gutter.
Her photo has been splashed
all over the Internet since a news-
paper took it off Facebook a week
after the incident, when she said
she fled Colombia fearing for her
life.
I was afraid they might retal-
iate, she said, saying she feared
for herself and her family after
looking up Secret Service on the
Internet and seeing that some
agents were sharpshooters.
Woman in Secret Service case calls agents fools
Prostitute claims she could
have easily obtained national
security information.

We do not believe Mr. Lupas

Writer says gun control
is far from moot issue
A
Los Angeles Times editorial has
stated, The battle against gun control
has been largely won. Therefore,
National Rifle Association members and
others should stop funding the NRA.
The battle is far from won.
The Obama administration has consis-
tently pushed for excessively restrictive
gun laws. It has by executive order placed
burdensome restrictions upon gun dealers
in states bordering Mexico. This action is
now being litigated in the federal courts.
It is working with the United Nations in
ratifying draconian international regu-
lations of small arms.
For now, the subject of gun control is
taboo in the White House. They recall the
setback of the Clinton administration in
congressional elections resulting from
efforts by the NRA and others.
Once re-elected, the Obama adminis-
tration will continue to press for confisca-
tory gun laws. The president will nominate
Supreme Court candidates who favor con-
fiscatory gun laws, which in tandem with
U.N. mandates will nullify the Second
Amendment.
In summary, the notion that the gun
control issue is moot is pure fiction.
Finally, HR 3594, titled the Second
Amendment Protection Act, has been
introduced in the U.S. House of Repre-
sentatives. If enacted, the United States
would terminate funding of the United
Nations should the administration agree to
any U.N. treaty that would restrict the
right to keep and bear arms as stated in
the Constitutions Second Amendment.

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

K
TALK ABOUT killing two
birds with one stone; heres
an idea that can take down
a whole flock.
Its called postal bank-
ing, and it could help res-
cue the Postal Service,
make banks nicer to the little guy, raise the
national savings rate and cut the cost of
financing the national deficit.
This is not a new idea. A vast array of
nations from Germany to India offer their
citizens financial services through the post
office. We do too, a little, by selling money
orders and package insurance. But we used
to do much more.
From1910 to 1967 Uncle Sam ran the
Postal Savings System. It paid 2 percent on
deposits (which peaked at $3.4 billion in
1947) and reaped 2.5 percent by putting
the money into local banks, thus covering
the cost of operations. Customers could
save as little as 10 cents at a time by filling
a postal savings card with stamps and then
turning it in for credit.
Consider the possibilities. The Postal
Service is in financial trouble partly due to
meddling by Congress, but also because
the digital revolution is driving down mail
volume. Congress wants the place run like
a business, but wont let the service set
prices, close money-losing outlets or other-
wise be businesslike. The government,
meanwhile, backstops the for-profit bank-
ing system without charging for this valua-
ble service. These same banks treat low-
income customers like piatas, beating
fees out of them at every turn.
The postal banking alternative is old,
established and could easily work here.
There are post offices all over America,
and they already handle lots of cash. Postal
deposits could be invested in Treasury
securities for ironclad safety, and these
new funds would likely reduce Uncle Sams
cost of borrowing, saving money for tax-
payers. Instead of the certificates used by
the old Postal Savings System, depositors
would get debit cards.
A postal bank could make money in
several ways. Users could pay modest fees
for checking and other services, and the
system could pay out less in interest than
it earns on the Treasuries it would buy.
Since the goal isnt to drive banks out of
business, individual accounts could be
capped at some appropriately modest sum,
and there would be no loans except to
Washington. Even so, this new postal com-
petition should force banks to treat their
smaller customers a little better while
rescuing many poor Americans from the
teeth of costly check-cashing outlets and
payday lenders.
Could postal banking be big enough to
make a dent in Postal Service deficits?
Well, the Japanese postal bank has more
than $2 trillion in deposits, and the United
States is nearly three times as populous.
Its not inconceivable to imagine an Amer-
ican postal bank throwing off an annual
profit of $5 billion, which is what the Post-
al Service lost in its last fiscal year (al-
though losses seem to be accelerating).
Besides, aiding the Postal Service is the
least of the plans virtues and postal
banking by itself cant save the system,
which needs to change regardless. More
important is that postal banking would put
the government once again on the side of
encouraging thrift. People with savings
dont need payday lenders, after all. Accu-
mulating capital can help them weather
emergencies, start businesses and buy
homes.
A postal savings system would give peo-
ple a trusted place to save right in their
own communities, without outrageous fees
or sales pitches for tricky products. Postal
banking could take its place alongside
other cherished non-market institutions,
such as Social Security and public librar-
ies, that help Americans help themselves.
People love their libraries. Why not let
them bank on their Postal Service?

COMMENTARY
D A N I E L A K S T
T
HE NUMBER OF im-
migrants coming ille-
gally to the United
States has been de-
clining for several years. De-
mographers have repeatedly
said as much, and nowa report
by the Pew Hispanic Center
confirms it illegal migration
from Mexico is virtually at a
standstill. Last year, about 6.1
millionMexicans wereillegally
in the country, down from a
high of 7 million in 2007.
What accounts for the
change after decades of steady
increases? A declining birth
rate and solid economic
growth in Mexico have led few-
er people to leave home. On
this side of the border, a weak
economy has made the United
States less appealing for job
seekers; andtougher border se-
curity has made the treacher-
ous journey too expensive and
dangerous for most, according
to the report.
The more pressing question
now is what to do with the 11
million illegal immigrants
from Mexico and elsewhere
whoare already here. Some Re-
publicans want to redouble ef-
forts to deport them; Mitt
Romney has saidhe hopes they
will self-deport. But suchfan-
tasies of a mass exodus are as
unrealistic as the demand for a
vacuum-sealed border.
Besides, a real exodus would
leave some sectors of the do-
mestic economy struggling.
Right now, more thanhalf of all
farmworkers in the United
States are here illegally.
Fixing immigration requires
more than an enforcement-on-
ly strategy. Lawmakers must
undertake a comprehensive ap-
proach that includes a path to
legalization for those who are
here, an agricultural worker
program to help growers and
farmhands, and strict work-
place enforcement to discour-
age people fromcomingillegal-
ly in the future.

O
UR STATE legisla-
tors can call it a sur-
plus if theywant, but
its reallyaslushfund.
Its $184 million that was
left over in the General As-
semblys budget last year that
was stashed in an account con-
trolled by legislative leaders.
Actually, they really have no
business calling it a surplus.
The state is practical-
ly broke. Gov. Tom
Corbetts budget this
year included deep
cuts to schools, uni-
versities andahost of
state services. His
proposed budget for
next year is similarly
draconian.
We just dont have
the money, he says,
so we must cut, cut,
cut just like Tim and Tina
Taxpayer have to do when they
balance the old checkbook at
the kitchen table.
Every penny of that $184mil-
lion should have been pumped
into schools, colleges, roads,
etc.
Very few other states allow
legislatures to amass slush
funds, let alone slush funds
with such little accountability.
The money is controlled by
Capitol bigshots behindclosed
doors with very little account-
ability and few restrictions on
how the cash can be used.
Do you trust them? Hmmm,
lets look at some recent histo-
ry:
Former House Speaker
John Perzel, R-Philadelphia, is
off to prison as part of the Bo-
nusgate probe.
House Democratic bigwig
Bill DeWeese will join him be-
hind bars.
Another Democratic hon-
cho, former Sen.
Robert Mellow,
last week was
fined $21,000 for
an ethics viola-
tion.
Yeah, these are
the guys we want
controlling a big
pile of unencum-
bered cash.
In fairness, law-
makers last week
noted that $50 million of that
cash has been committed to
accountability block grants
to schools.
Accountability! Nice touch
of irony there.
No, this must be the budget
year in which that slush fund
melts back into the general
fund to lessen the impact of
tight state revenue collections.
Speak out.
Contact your representa-
tives and tell them to spend
down the surplus.

p.m., but that he did not want to
say anything before that.
Namey has been with the dis-
trict for 42 years, serving as su-
perintendent since1996. He has
announcedretirement previous-
ly but was persuaded by the
board to stay on.
In early 2007 he told the
board he planned to step down
that June even though his con-
tract was good through June the
following year. But by May of
2007hehadreconsidered. Now
Im pushing it to January,
Namey said at the time, cer-
tainly no later than the follow-
ing June.
Before June 2008 rolled
around, the board persuaded
Namey to stay, renewing his
contract through June 2011.
In December 2010, the board
extended his contract to 2015
over the objections of several
members, including Toole, who
frequently found herself in the
minority at the time.
Toole said the renewal had
not been discussed until it ap-
peared on the agenda, and she
said the term of the extension
was too long, considering
Nameys own prior attempts to
retire.
Fully vested pension
With 42 years in public educa-
tion, Namey is potentially eligi-
ble to receive a pension equal to
100 percent of his pay, currently
$161,544, according to District
Business Manager Leonard
Przywara.
Asked how she would handle
finding a replacement, Toole
stressed she could only speak
for herself, but that I want to
see us do a national search. I
want to put advertisements in
the professional journals, partic-
ularly the Pennsylvania School
Boards Association Bulletin.
Toole said the obvious choice
for an interim superintendent
would be Deputy Superintend-
ent Bernard Prevuznak. When
Namey talked about retirement
in 2007, he said one reason for
bringing Prevuznak into the
post several years earlier had
been to assure a smooth transi-
tion.
Toole said Prevuznak would
be welcome to apply for the
post, but that she would not
want the board to hire himwith-
out a rigorous search and inter-
views.
I want to see Wilkes-Barre
Area be respected by the educa-
tional community and the com-
munity as a whole, Toole said.
I think this is why we need to
go out of the area, because too
much has happened.
Prior to becoming superin-
tendent in 1996, Namey served
as assistant superintendent for
14 years, and deputy superin-
tendent for three years, as well
as acting superintendent for a
spell.
Namey had been considered
for the top spot earlier, when
Leo Solomon retired in 1993.
But he took himself out of the
running, saying the job was too
susceptible to politics and he
wanted to keep his more secure
position of assistant superin-
tendent for pupil services until
his son graduated from college.
High-profile problems
Inmore casual moments inre-
cent years, Namey has joked
that he should have retired in
2007. It would have spared him
the high-profile problems that
evolved as the federal corrup-
tionprobe first hit the public eye
in 2009.
The probe, which started in
Luzerne County Courthouse,
but FBI agents visited districts,
including Wilkes-Barre Area in
early April 2009. Days later,
Namey testified before a federal
grand jury. Shortly after that,
Brian Dunn became the first of
three board members charged
with corruption related to hir-
ing of teachers or awarding of
contract.
James Height and Frank Piz-
zella Jr. were charged later,
though Pizzella was accused of
action taken before joining the
board: Passing a bribe from the
relativeof ateacher candidateto
a sitting board member. Pizzella
insisted he had helped expose
other crooks caught in the
probe, a claim reinforced by
prosecutors at his sentencing.
All three ultimately pleaded
guilty.
During the early stages of the
investigation, after an FBI agent
sought teacher hiring records
but before Height was charged,
Height admitted to The Times
Leader that the district had no
written hiring policy, and that
board members took turns pick-
ing candidates to be inter-
viewed.
The board promised to devel-
opa writtenpolicy but has failed
todosofor more thantwoyears.
Toole has said the policy is high
priority since she was elected
board president in December.
Namey has also had to deal
with increasingly intractable
building problems.
In the past decade the district
has hired outside consultants
and conducted internal studies
in mulling possible building
consolidation, particularly with
the three high schools, but pro-
jected costs have been prohib-
itive.
In 2007 just as the board
seemedpoisedtocommit toma-
jor repairs at Meyers High
School, a structural study found
the building had been sinking
far faster than it should have.
Engineers determined that the
soil underneathwas toosoft and
keeps shifting when the water
table rises with a swelling Sus-
quehanna River.
Most recently, the board has
been grappling with a water
leak at Meyers they have been
unable to pinpoint even with
special equipment designed to
look through the concrete
flooring and metal reinforce-
ment bars that cover the main
water line, where the leak is.
District with issues
Namey has had to cope with
health scares ranging from bed
bugs to H1N1 virus, and with
growing gang influence and
risks of violenceepitomizedbya
recent machete attack on one
student, though the attacker
was not connected to this dis-
trict andthe assault occurredoff
school grounds.
And the district found itself
suffering yet another black eye
from the corruption probe last
week when a federal grand jury
indicted long-time solicitor An-
thony Lupas. The charges are
unrelated to Lupas district
work; he is accused of bilking
people through a bogus invest-
ment scheme.

Kingston, said this happened
when she pushed a bill requiring
more state focus on juvenile jus-
tice needs and effective treatment
options.
Mundy introduced House Bill
1384 in April 2009. It passed the
House, but the Senate didnt take
it up for a vote. She reintroduced
thelegislationas HouseBill 226in
January 2011.
In May 2011, state Rep. Tarah
Toohil, R-Butler Township, intro-
duced the concept as House Bill
1546, Mundy said.
After House passage, the Sen-
ate acted on Toohils legislation,
amendingit andreturningit tothe
Housefor final approval beforego-
ing to the governor, Mundy said.
Its not word for word, but its
my bill. Its my idea and pretty
much my language, Mundy said.
Mundy made a comment about
Toohils legislation on the House
floor, sayingimitationisthemost
sincere formof flattery.
Petty politics is causing unnec-
essary duplication and interferes
withthe legislative process, andit
happens frequently, Mundy
said.
Citizens want efficient, biparti-
san movement on viable legisla-
tion with no concern for which
party or legislator gets credit, she
said.
We worked hard to draft that
legislation, and it is a waste of re-
sources, Mundy said.
She acknowledgedthe same ac-
tivity occurred when Democrats
were in control.
Both parties have done this.
Personally, I think its reprehensi-
ble. I havenever doneit, shesaid.
Toohil saidshemodeledherleg-
islation on recommendations of
the Interbranch Commission on
Juvenile Justice, which is why its
similar. She said she didnt base
her bill on Mundys.
State officials set up the special
commission to investigate cir-
cumstances that ledto corruption
inLuzerneCountysjuvenilecourt
system.
Toohil also said there were dif-
ferences inthe proposedbills, par-
ticularly in the estimated costs.
She said she proposes legislation
based on the validity of issues
not to obtain credit.
Shesaidmost peoplecareabout
the endresult andpay little, if any,
attention to the author.
I dont care who gets it done, I
just want it to get done, she said,
addingthat Mundyshouldreceive
credit for her workonjuvenile jus-
tice issues.
The legislation would force the
Juvenile Court Judges Commis-
sion to collect and analyze data
from juvenile courts across the
statetoimproveadministrationof
the juvenile justice system.
The commission of nine juve-
nilecourtjudgesmustusethedata
to identify juvenile court trends
and effective programs and prac-
tices and make this information
public. Thecommissionalsomust
make recommendations to judges
and the Administrative Office of
Pennsylvania Courts.
Mundy said the additional re-
viewand oversight could have led
to earlier detection of past inap-
propriate activity in Luzerne
Countys juvenile court system.
Toohil posted an announce-
ment about the advancement of
the legislation she sponsored on
her website in March, saying the
action was in response to the Lu-
zerneCountykids for cash scan-
dal.
My bill is designed to prevent
the kind of injustices to children
that occurred in Luzerne County
from ever happening again any-
where in Pennsylvania, she said
in the posted announcement.
LEGISLATION
crease financial aid to help our
working-class constituency
weather the storm and make a
Kings education affordable,
Ryan wrote in the email obtained
by The Times Leader. The col-
lege was trying to respond to the
economicclimateand, becauseof
its mission, help its natural con-
stituency of the working class.
The result of multi-year awards
increased our overall average dis-
count rate from 36 percent in
2009toanestimated42.5percent
in 2013.
John McAndrew, a college
spokesman, said the discount
rates were a factor but even more
so was that the true numbers and
impact theywouldhave onfuture
budgets werent figured in ap-
propriatelytoallowthecollegeto
budget properly.
He said no single person was
responsible for the oversight. Li-
sa Marie McCauley, who served
as vice president for business af-
fairs and as college treasurer, re-
signed for personal reasons on
April 25. She could not be reac-
hed for comment Friday.
McAndrewdeclined to discuss
McCauleys role inthe budget cit-
ing personnel issues.
Ryan said the financial chal-
lenges, once realized, are nowbe-
ing addressed.
We are beginning to reverse
the direction of our discount rate
with lower financial awards of-
fered to first-year students enter-
ing the fall 2012, Ryan said. Ad-
ditionally, the admissions team,
is doingaremarkablejobof bring-
ing in a freshman class compara-
ble in number and quality to the
preceding three years; this de-
spiteasignificant tuitionincrease
and lower financial aid packag-
es.
Tuition will jump 5.4 percent
this fall to $29,174, McAndrew
said. Over the previous three
years tuition increased an aver-
age of 3.9 percent.
Consultant hired
Ryan said the college also has
hired the higher education finan-
cial consulting firm of Scannell
and Kurz of Pittsford, N.Y. to help
with financial aid optimization.
But since the discounted tui-
tion packages were awarded to
students that could be at the
school for the next three years,
Ryan notes this is a multi-year
process which will not right itself
in a single year.
At a Presidents Forum held
Feb. 13, Ryan alluded to long
range plans to help turn the tide
of struggling college finances. In
addition to lowering the tuition
discount rate, Ryan proposed in-
creasedfundraisingactivities and
seeking newmarkets for existing
academic programs.
Last summer, the college
signed an agreement with the
Universityof NotreDametoover-
see a majority of Kings Colleges
endowment. There is no fee
charged for the service as both
schools fall under the umbrella of
The Congregation of the Holy
Cross.
Ryan was in meetings Friday
and unavailable for an interview.
McAndrew said Ryan will
meet with the campus faculty
and staff Tuesday at 1 p.m. to in-

MAKING LEARNING FUN
CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER
J
ohn Kasgreva, 12, a student at Hanover Area School District, tries to knock down as
many cans as he can to win a prize during the Carnival of Books held Friday after-
noon at the Hanover Area Junior/Senior High School.
As we continue to offer mil-
lions of acres of Americas public
lands for oil and gas develop-
ment, it is critical that the public
have full confidence that the
right safety and environmental
protections are in place, Salazar
said.
The proposed rules will mod-
ernize our management of well-
stimulation activities, including
hydraulic fracturing, to make
sure that fracturing operations
conducted on public and Indian
lands follow common-sense in-
dustry best practices, he said.
The new rules, which have
been under consideration for a
year and a half, were softened af-
ter industry groups expressed
strong concerns about an initial
proposal leaked earlier this year.
The proposal would allow com-
panies to file disclosure reports
after drilling operations are com-
pleted, rather than before they
begin, as initially proposed. In-
dustry groups said the earlier
proposal could have caused leng-
thy delays.
Some environmental groups
criticized the change as a cave-in
to industry, but Salazar said the
rules were never intended to
cause delays, but to ensure that
the public is fully aware of the
chemicals that are being injected
into the underground by compa-
nies seeking to produce oil and
natural gas.
The Bureau of Land Manage-
ment, which oversees drilling on
public lands, estimates that 90
percent of the approximately
3,400 wells currently drilled on
federal andIndianlands usinghy-
draulic fracturing techniques.
The rules would not affect
drilling on private land, where
the bulk of shale exploration is
taking place. A nationwide drill-
ing boom in formations such as
the Marcellus Shale in the Appa-
lachian region and the Bakken in
North Dakota and Montana, as
well as in traditional production
states such as Texas, Oklahoma
and Louisiana, has led to 10-year
lows in natural gas prices.
Still, Salazar said he hopes the
newrules couldbe usedas a mod-
el for state regulators.
We hope our leadership is fol-
lowed, he said at a news confer-
ence.
Industry groups and Republi-
can lawmakers say federal rules
are unnecessary, arguing that
states already regulate hydraulic
fracturing, in which water, sand
and chemicals are in injected un-
dergroundtobreakupdenserock
that holds oil and gas.
The industry also has com-
plained that disclosure of chem-
icals used in fracking could vio-
late trade secrets.
RULES
POTTSTOWN A federal
jury has ordered a suburban
Philadelphia hospital to pay
$78.5 million in a lawsuit over
an emergency cesarean sec-
tion.
Attorneys for Victoria Upsey
say her son, who is now 3, suf-
fered brain damage because of
an 81-minute delay in the C-
section procedure at Pott-
stown Memorial Medical Cen-
ter in August 2008.
Attorney Daniel Weinstock
says the delivery was delayed
because the obstetrician
thought the baby was dead. He
says the doctor negligently
performed an ultrasound ex-
amination using outdated, in-
sensitive and poorly main-
tained equipment provided to
him by the hospital.
Hospital officials tell WFMZ-
TV theyre disappointed with
the verdict and plan to appeal.

During the regular season the
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins
were a mediocre 18-16-2-2 at home.
In the playoffs, theyre undefeat-
ed.
The Penguins wonall three games
at the Mohegan Sun Arena in their
3-2 series win over the Hershey
Bears. Its a streak theydlike to keep
going tonight against the St. Johns
IceCaps in Game 3 with the series
tied 1-1.
The first two games of the series
were played in St. Johns and the
Penguins managed a split by taking
Game2. WhilethePenguins werefo-
cused on the first two games, head
coach John Hynes said the home
fans were always in the back of their
minds.
I knew the guys were excited to
come back and play here, Hynes
said. Theyre looking forward to
the crowd.
And the crowd seems to be the
reason why the Penguins have been
stellar at home in the postseason.
Hynes saidthe atmosphere has been
different for the playoffs when com-
pared to the regular season.
When good things happen the
place erupts. It didnt feel like that in
the regular seasonat times, he said.
Theres more electricity in the
building and players do feed off
that.
Much of that electricity has been
generated by a group of students
fromSt. Gregorys Academy in Elm-
hurst Township who has been at-
tending Penguins games of late and
leading the crowd in chants.
The group has been so loud and
supportive that it has even caught
the attention of the Penguins play-
ers.
And its a big reason why the Pen-
guins are looking forward to having
the next three games of the series at
home.
This is my third year here and
these playoffs have been the best at-
mosphere Ive seen, said defense-
man Joey Mormina. Those guys
from St. Gregorys have been awe-
some and its been really fun to play
at home.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Maria-
noRivera sat ona chair inthe cor-
ner of the visitors clubhouse at
Kauffman Stadium, his right
knee tightly
wrapped Friday
night and
crutches rest-
ing against a
nearby locker.
In one decla-
rative state-
ment, the Yan-
kees closer put
to rest any notion that hed shuf-
fle off into retirement after a dev-
astating injury sustained the pre-
vious night in batting practice.
Im coming back. Write it
down in big letters. Imnot going
out like this, Rivera said.
The 12-time All-Star vowed he
will return to the mound by 2013,
despite hinting in spring training
that this season may be his last.
He said he reflected on the injury
at his hotel roomintheweehours
of Friday morning before making
his decision.
I love toplay the game. Tome,
I dont think going out like this is
the right way, Rivera said. I
dont want to retire because I got
hurt inthewaythat it happened. I
dont think like that. With the
strengthof the Lord, I just have to
continue.
Rivera hurt his knee when his
foot caught on the turf near the
outfield wall before the series
opener against Kansas City. An
MRI taken during the game re-
vealed the extent of the injury,
and Rivera dabbed tears from his
eyes when he spoke in the club-
house Thursday night.
He wasnt sure at the time
whether he would return.
He was certainof it less than24
hours later.
Miracles happen, Rivera said
with a smile. Ima positive man.
The onlythingis that I feel sorryI
let down my teammates. Besides
that Im OK.
Rivera spoke with New York
Mets medical director Dr. David
Altchek, who performed surgery
on his shoulder following the
2008 season, and was told that he
shouldbereadytoworkout again
in about five months. Rivera
hopes that allows himto pitch by
the start of spring training.
You know, I just kind of had a
feelingintalkingtohimlast night
that it wasnt the way he wants to
go out, Yankees manager Joe Gi-
rardi said. He still has to get
through this rehab and well see
where hes at, but Mo wants to do

SANDIEGOA911call from
the home of Junior Seau released
Friday captures the voice of a
woman who is horrified to find
the former NFL linebacker in a
spare bedroom with a gunshot
wound to the chest.
My God, my boyfriend shot
himself! Oh my
God! the eight-
minute call be-
gins.
The woman,
who identifies
herself as
Megan, said
she was return-
ing to the home
Wednesday morning from a one-
hour visit to the gym.
Oceanside police released the
recording one day after the San
Diego County medical examin-
ers office ruled the death a sui-
cide. The family plans to donate
Seaus brain for research into
football-related injuries.
The caller is nearly hysterical
and breathing heavily during
much of the call as emergency
workers guide her through life-
saving measures that failed.
Where is the gun? the dis-
patcher asks.
Its next to him in the bed,
she answers.
What is your boyfriends
name?
Junior Seau, she says.
The dispatcher asks where he
was shot.
I cant tell, maam. It looks like
in the heart, she said.
She told the dispatcher that he
did not have a pulse and that his
chest was not moving.
I just came home from the
gym, and hes in our spare bed-
room, and he shot himself, and it
looks like he shot himself in the
chest, she says after the dis-
patcher transferredthe call to the
fire department.
Nearly five minutes into the
call, she goes to the door to allow
rescue workers in. She explains
again what happened and then
begins to sob.
The womans last name is unin-
telligible onthe recording. Lt. Le-
onard Mata, a spokesman for
Oceanside police, said police
arent releasing the womans
name.
Seau played for his hometown
Chargers for 13 seasons and was
also a star at SouthernCalifornia.
Theres been no medical evi-
dence that brain injuries from
football may have played a role in
his death.

ingnext tosomeof them, andlet

Lukas will saddle one of the
longest shots, 50-1Optimizer.

throw anyone out, said Todd

ant who has two Derby starters
including Gemologist. There

ON THE MARK
By Mark Dudek
For The Times Leader
Night Racing Card
Special T Rocks looks to maintain his current sharp form in the
$50,000 Van Rose Memorial tonight. The four-year old gelded son of
Rocknroll Hanover has never been better of recent, winning two
straight Open Paces at Harrahs Philadelphia. Hes had a career year
already, bankrolling $157,250 along with taking a career mark just
last weekof 1:50.1. Like most of Daryl Biers horses, the late blooming
Special T Rocks loves to close and throw Big Bay Point in the mix
from post nine, you can be certain that there will be a fast tempo.
Inwhat will be the finest andrichest race of the youngseasonI look
for the Bier owned-trained and driven Special T Rocks to roll past
them all to win going away!!

liked and picked.
With the Internet, crowd-
sourcing can help the naming
process. At WinStar, employees
can enter a naming contest. For
Gemologist, they put the nam-
ing contest on Facebook. It was
won by Al Hilbert, a New Yorker
who picked up on the horses
dam, Crystal Shard.
The Facebook contest pro-
duced some 400 names, and the
WinStar officials narrowed them
down to the one they liked best,
said bloodstock assistant Amy
Nave. Hilbert was at Saratoga
for the Wood Memorial, and hes
supposed to attend the Derby,
too.
In the Lets Go Stable, nine
investors were in the syndicate
that owns El Padrino. Founder
Bryan Sullivan said each inves-
tor is allowed to suggest one
name. The first time around, no
one liked any of the names. But
Sullivans partner, Kevin Scatu-
orchio, had the name reserved,
and everyone liked it.
It means godfather in Span-
ish, Sullivan said. Hes actually
the exact opposite because hes
so laid back. But its a good trait
because hell be able to handle
the Derby crowds.
The pedigree is still the best
source for names, and this years
Derby features plenty of that
kind of inspiration.
Rousing Sermons sire is
Lucky Pulpit and his dam is
Rousing Again. Take Charge In-
dy is the product of A.P. Indy
and Take Charge Lady. The stal-
lion Scat Daddy helped two of
his colts: Daddy Long Legs and
Daddy Nose Best, whose dam is
Follow Your Bliss.
Trinniberg combines his sire,
Teuflesburg, with his owners
native country, Trinidad. Cre-
ative Causes sire is Giants Cau-
seway. Maybe the most clever
use of pedigree is Done Talking,
the colt produced by Broken
Vow and Dixie Talking.
Sometimes, theres more sen-
timent involved. Union Rags
name comes from his sire, Dixie
Union, and one of his maternal
forebears, Glad Rags II. That
mare belonged to owner Phyllis
Wyeths family, won Englands
1966 One Thousand Guineas
and became a foundation mare
for their farm.
Then there are the names
plucked from everyday life. J.
Paul Reddam, owner of Ill Have
Another, has said the horse is
named for Reddams response to
his wifes nightly query of Do
you want any more cookies? as
he lies on the couch.
Owner Ahmed Zayat named
Bodemeister for his trainers
son, Bode Baffert, who in turn is
named for friend and famed
skier Bode Miller.
Dr. Kendall Hansen stayed
even closer to home, naming
the grey Hansen for himself.
But no doubt the most
thought went into the naming of
Went the Day Well. Team Valor
Racing has gotten so many
questions about it that they just
send out the email from the
man who bought the horse in
England, Mark Ford, who owns
25 percent of the horse.
Ford said the phrase comes
from an epitaph written by John
Maxwell Edmonds in 1918:
Went the day well? We died
and never knew; But well or ill,
England, we died for you.
A 1942 English war film had
the same title.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. In Irish
legend, dullahans were a kind of
Celtic Grim Reaper, roaming the
countryside on black horses,
holding their heads under their
left arms while brandishing
swords made from human
spines. When they came to your
door, your time was up.
But the exciting part about
the legend is that when they
rode, neither lock nor gate
could keep them from their
goal, said Jerry Crawford of
Donegal Racing, which owns
Derby entry Dullahan. We
think the legend speaks of a
good trip for Kent Desormeaux,
and Dullahan on their trip to the
finish line.
Thus speaks the power of a
name, at least to the people who
have the difficult task of choos-
ing the perfect one for their
racehorses. Its harder than it
looks, not least because of the
stern rules of the Jockey Club:
No repeats of currently regis-
tered Thoroughbreds, no nam-
ing after living people, nothing
too bawdy or suggestive. Youre
naming for posterity, especially
if you have a horse in the Ken-
tucky Derby.
Naming racehorses has gotten
a little easier now that the Jock-
ey Club puts out a list of horses
names that have been released,
says David Fiske, manager of
Winchell Thoroughbreds, based
at Corinthia Farm in Lexington.
The trick is trying to find
something new and fresh that
hasnt been used before, Fisk
said.
With Sabercat, Ron Winchell
wanted to find a name that used
Cat in it because of his runner,
Sabercats sire, Bluegrass Cat,
and his even more famous fore-
bear, Storm Cat.
He wanted something that
was ominous or threatening,
Fiske said. There are a lot of
sports teams named Sabercats, I
think that was in the back of his
mind.
John Oxley, the owner of Pro-
spective, saw the horse at the
Saratoga sale and loved him
partly for his good looks and
partly for his brilliant pedigree,
which featured Mr. Prospector
and Seattle Slew. I thought,
Hes very prospective for the
Kentucky Derby, Oxley said. I
didnt expect it to be available,
but you never know until you
try.
That was true for Alpha, the
horse owned by Sheikh Mo-
hammed Bin Rashid Al Mak-
toums Godolphin racing oper-
ation. Jimmy Bell, who heads up
the Sheikhs breeding operation,
Darley, here in Lexington, said
the name just seemed good and
happened to be available.
I always like to think good
Derby horses have good names,
Bell said. Its a good strong
name, its dominant, its top dog.
I think its a nice name, short,
meaningful and, golly, it landed
on the right horse.
That was also true for Opti-
mizer, picked by officials at
Bluegrass Hall LLC because it
was a derivative of optimum,
said Sienna Hooper, who works
there. It was just a name they
Name game isnt
so easy afterall
Jockey Club rules can make
giving a thoroughbred the
proper name a bit of a trick.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Rosie Na-
pravnik insists shes just another
jockey. Shes onewithchampions
credentials now.
Napravnik became the first fe-
male jockey to win the Kentucky
Oaks, keeping Believe You Can
near the front from the start be-
fore pulling away from Broad-
ways Alibi in the $1 million race
for 3-year-old fillies at Churchill
Downs on Friday.
I wouldnt say there was pres-
sure because the expectations
were nobody had ever done it be-
fore, the 24-year-old rider said
after her first Grade 1 stakes vic-
tory. Its great for all the women
in the industry, in the world. Im
just happy.
Inthe fillies counterpart to the
Kentucky Derby, Napravnik final-
ly broke through after finishing
second last year behind Plum
Pretty aboard St. Johns River.
In this one, she took the filly
named for the pep talks former
KentuckyGov. BreretonC. Jones
father gave himto the front inthe
1
1
8-mile race with an impressive
stretch run.
My father had told me from
the very beginning when he
made a little plaque tohanginmy
bedroomwith the word cant on
it. C-A-N-apostrophe-Twith a big
X across it, the former governor
said. Believe you can and you
can.
The victory also gave trainer
Larry Jones his second Oaks vic-
tory after winning in 2008 with
Proud Spell. That celebration
was cut short when his star filly,
Eight Belles, broke down after a
second-place finish in the Ken-
tucky Derby the following day.
She was euthanized on the track
and Jones later retired briefly fol-
lowing health problems.
Imnot going to bring up a lot
of things in the past, Jones said.
We celebrated for 24 hours. At
that point, we kind of forgot we
had won the Oaks. Were going to
enjoy this one.
Napravnik lost her Kentucky
Derby mount this week when the
Joneses decided not to run colt
Mark Valeski, but this was a good
consolation prize in a race de-
layed 35 minutes because of a
strong thunderstorm earlier in
the day.
Its unbelievable. I cant even
tell you what Im feeling right
now, Napravnik said.

finishedsixth. In2001, hisheavy
favorite Point Given wound up
fifth.
I dont want toget myself too
pumpedup. Evenmyson, Bode,
doesnt want totalkabout it, he
said.
The 7-year-old namesake of
Bodemeister is worried. Upon
learning the colt was headed to
the Derby, he asked his dad,
Well, what if he loses?
Its a little extra pressure for
me to make sure that he runs
well, said Baffert, who had a
medical scareinMarchwhenhe
was hospitalizedwitha heart at-
tack inDubai.
Bodemeister, ridden by Hall
of Fame jockey Mike Smith,
goes into the starting gate star-
ingdown129years of Derby his-
tory. The last horse to win with-
out racing as a 2-year-old was
Apollo in1882.
Union Rags, the 9-2 second
choice ridden by Julien Lep-
aroux, is the best horse trainer
Michael Matzhasbroughttothe
Derby since he won with unde-
featedBarbaro in2006.
I was luckyenoughonce, he
said. Itshardtobelieveyoucan
get lucky twice.
Matz trains the strapping colt
for Phyllis Wyeth, the former
steeplechase rider who was par-
alyzed fromthe waist down in a
1962 car accident and gets
around in a wheelchair. She is
marriedtopainterJamieWyeth,
whose father was the renowned
artist AndrewWyeth.
Gemologist, undefeated in
fiveraces, istrainedby2010Der-
bywinnerPletcher, yethesbeen
overshadowed by the other en-
trants since arriving late in
Louisville and getting most of
his training inFlorida.
Hes done everything he
could possibly do, Pletcher
said, but part of it might be be-
causethe2-year-oldraces heran
in werent the Breeders Cup
races. He was a little late in de-
veloping.
Two of Gemologists wins
came at Churchill Downs.
Anytime youve had success
over this track in the past, it
bodes well for the future,
Pletcher said.
Hansenis a standout onlooks
alone. The colt is nearly white
and his outspoken owner Ken-
dall Hansen tried to doll himup
by having his tail painted blue
for the Blue Grass three weeks
ago. The track stewards didnt
approve and neither did trainer
Mike Maker.
Weregoingtowinthis race,
Hansensaid. Werenot worried
about anybody. Weve got the
best horse.
Like Baffert and Pletcher,
Steve Asmussen has two horses
in the Derby Daddy Nose
Best and Sabercat who will
try to help him end a 0-for-10
skid. He came close last year
when Nehro finished second to
Animal Kingdom.
It is definitely on the bucket
list, Asmussen said. I like my
horses, love how theyre doing,
feel that theyregoingtorunreal
good Saturday, but have no con-
trol over everybody else.

chance of showers and thunder-

Making it feel subtropical is
thehumidity, whichwascloseto

combinedwithhumidityaffects
horses in different ways. Some
sweat profusely; others handle

Castellano leaves on stretcher, but returns
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Jockey Javier Castellano left on a stretcher
after a spill Friday in a race just before he was scheduled to ride
Grace Hall in the Kentucky Oaks, then returned in time to mount
the race favorite.
Castellano, who appeared to have an abrasion on his cheek,
left the ambulance and walked unaided into the jockeys room
following the spill in the 10th race, the American Turf.
Castellano was riding Star Channel, who pulled up clean in the
aftermath of Castellanos fall. He got up before being put on a
stretcher and appeared to smile as he was loaded into an
ambulance.
Castellano also is scheduled to ride Gemologist today in the
Kentucky Derby.

YATESVILLE Brandon Mat-
thews breezed through his high
school career at Pittston Area
with several accolades, including
a PIAA Championship in 2010.
Now, the much-honored golfer
will take his skills to the Division
I collegiate level at Temple Uni-
versity, he announced on Friday
at Pittston Areas Cefalo Center.
The biggest thing is what this
coach could do with a golfer no
matter what skill level, Mat-
thews said about Owls coach and
teaching professional Brian
Quinn. As a golfer, hes going to
make me better. Im going to be
better coming out of there no
matter what than where I am
right now. I couldnt guarantee
that with any other school and I
knew that was the deciding fac-
tor.
The sonof Donna andTedMat-
thews will major in Business
Management andchose the Owls
over other notable schools such
as San Diego State, Louisiana
State and the University of North
Carolina. But there were many
other reasons for Matthews
choice, including being close to
his beloved Philadelphia Phillies.
Withthe coach, youcant get a
better coach, Matthews added.
Its close to home. An hour 45
minutes from my front door so if
Imhomesick, I can go home any-
time. I can go to the Phillies all
the time.
Under Quinn the last five sea-
sons, the Owls have turned the
program around. In just his sec-
ond season in 2008, Quinn led
Temple to its first team cham-
pionship in three years at the Big
Five Invitational.
The team placed tenth at the
Atlantic-10 Championships last
weekend and did not qualify for
the regional event to be held May
17-19. The NCAA Champion-
ships will be held May 29-June 3
at the Riviera CountryClubinPa-
cific Palisades, Calif. The golf
season begins with a fall session
in September and October and,
after a break during the winter
months, resumes in March. Next
season, Temple will still be part
of the A-10 before moving to the
Big East the following campaign.
Quinn is also a former profes-
sional, winning 17 events on the
Asian PGA, South African PGA
and South American PGA Tours.
Getting paid to golf is something
Matthews hopes to accomplish
when his career at Temple con-
cludes in four years.
Finish college, get my busi-
ness degree andfromthere, try to
go on Tour depending howI am,
the future Owl said. And if that
doesnt work out, probably be-
come a PGA Teaching Profes-
sional somewhere along the line.
Im going to try to my hardest to
make it on Tour, but if it doesnt
work, it doesnt work.
Matthews is not just a standout
golfer. Hes an honor student at
PittstonArea andis one of the all-
timegreat golfers topass through
the area, and Quinn knows what
kind of person hes getting in the
Dupont resident.
He has done a great job both
academically and athletically,
Quinn said in a statement to Pitt-
ston Area principal John Haas.
Inmyopinion, I believeBrandon
has the ability to be a top colle-
giate player in the nation. I look
forwardtospendingthe next four
years watching him grow into a
great golfer, but more important-
ly a great human being.
Pittston Area coach Len Ben-
fante only contacted Quinn
through writing, but he praised
his former star and says the sky is
the limit for Matthews future
and even compared him to for-
mer PGA Tour player from Ha-
nover Area Ted Tryba.
Unlimited ceiling, Benfante
said. Ive never seen anyone like
him. When hes on his game, hes
as good as anyone Ive ever seen
and Ive gone to pro tournaments
and watched pros play.
I never saw (Ted) Tryba play
in high school. I saw him play af-
ter high school. But talking to lo-
cal (coaches) that watched him
play in high school, this kid is ev-
ery bit or better than Ted was at
this age.

The Times Leader staff
SWOYERSVILLE For Mi-
sericordia Universitys baseball
team, the accomplishments
have been piling up throughout
a regular season in which the
Cougars went 32-7, setting a
school record for wins and lead-
ing the MAC Freedom Confer-
ence in many statistical catego-
ries.
Misericordias pitching staff
had the lowest team ERA in the
conference at 3.83 and held op-
ponents to a .260 batting aver-
age. The staff was led Evan Ro-
baczewski, who was awarded
conference Pitcher of the Year
honors after going10-0 setting
a school record for wins in a sea-
son and leading all pitchers in
strikeouts.
The defense was there all sea-
son long as well as the Cougars
posted a fielding percentage of
.968andturned37double plays,
both tops in the conference.
Not tobe outdone, the offense
seemed to always show up as
Misericordia hit .303 as a team
and was shut out just once this
season. The Cougars scored 10
runs or more on nine separate
occasions and lit up the score-
board for a season-high 24 runs
in a game against Stevenson
University.
Put it all together andit added
up to a No. 1 seed in the Free-
dom Conference Tournament
and a season that was on the ra-
dar of every one of Misericor-
dias opponents.
Thats just fine with head
coach Pete Engbert.
Ever since Ive been here
weve been the underdog, but
since winning the conference
tournament last year theyve all
beengunningfor us, saidEngb-
ert, now in his fifth year at the
helm. But Im really pleased
with the way the guys have re-
sponded this year.
Coming into this season I
had high expectations and
most of our players had been re-
turning veterans, knew what
the expectations were and exe-
cuted on a daily basis.
Even on the rare occasions
when another team had Miser-
cordias number for that day
such as Friday, as Manhattan-
ville scored 11 runs in the final
three innings to upset the Cou-
gars -- Misericordia showed the
ability to respond. With the ex-
ception of a seven-day stretch in
mid-April and the regular sea-
son finale, Misericordia fol-
lowedits three other losses with
win streaks of at least five
games.
There were a few keys; we
got a lot of goodpitchingall year
long and the defense was good
all year, Engbert said. And
with our pitching, with Evan,
hes an absolute workhorse. Ev-
erybody plays with a lot of confi-
dence whenhes onthe mound.
The praise for Robaczewskis
stellar season comes as an add-
ed bonus for a team that was
without the former member of
the University of Pittsburgh
team while heading into last
years tournament.
Robaczewski, a junior who
played his high school ball at
Wyoming Valley West, returned
to the area to be closer to family
and has high hopes after a
strong season.
My time at Pitt just wasnt
working out for me, Robaczew-
ski said. Now, I love being on a
winning team. All you ask for is
to win and its great. I was think-
ing about some other options,
but its a good thing I didnt fol-
low through with them and
camehere. Wehadhighhopes at
the beginning of the season and
everything has been working
out.
While pleased with his own
effort, Robaczewski said he
couldnt have had his success
without the run support from
his offense, muchof whichcame
from Kenny Durling.
Durling, a high school team-
mate of Robaczewskis, finished
the season with the second-
highest batting average on the
team at .408 and also set a
school record with 48 RBI over
the season. His performance
was rewarded with Freedom
Conference first team honors.
Its nice, sure, but I just want
to win, just go out andgive it my
all, Durlingsaid. Imjust going
out there every day and doing
what I canto helpthis teamwin.
Coming off last year we know
we had a great team, we knew
we had to put the pieces togeth-
er.
While most coaches would be
more than happy with Robac-
zewski on the mound and Dur-
ling at the plate, Engbert is
quick to point out that two play-
ers dont make a conference
champion and that his teams
overall depth might be the big-
gest strength for the Cougars
heading into postseason play.
He had a heck of a year,
Engbert said of Durling. He
hadthe best year of his career on
the field and hit .410. Andrew
Tressa was part of an outstand-
ing double play tandem. Two-
thirds of the way through we
moved him to third base and
hes done an outstanding job.
Gabe Noyalis transferred in
from Bucknell and he had
thrown some innings for them
as a freshman. Weve had a num-
ber of other pitchers step up,
like Matt Karabin and Pat Clark,
a senior set a school record for
17 career wins.
You never know what hap-
pens in a playoff format. We
cant overlook anybody, Engb-
ert said. I think if we dont
change anything, if we stick to
the pitching and defense that
has won for us all year that we
should be all right.

dia plays today at 11 a.m. in an

pen. But its kindof disappointing
to have this kind of performance,
especially in the first half.
Pittston Area was up 3-0 by
midway through the first half as
Barber scored twice and senior
Danielle Fereck scored once.
Barber struck again twice late
in the half and 39 seconds apart
to push her goal total for the
season to 27, one less than WVC
leader Ashley Dunbar of Dallas.
I started right after basketball
season, Barber said. I came in
and worked hard. My coaches are
a big help, my team is a big help.
They accepted me very well. I
was nervous the first practice.
PittstonArea coachNicole Tie-
so was lost for words about Bar-
ber before piling on the superla-
tives. Davis was right to the
point.
Allie Barber is wonderful, a
nice player, the North Pocono
coach said. She really dictated
the pace of the game. It would be
nice to have somebody like that
to play the ball through. She
makes everybody else on the
teambetter. I hadmy fastest play-
er mark her up and she couldnt
stay with her.
Senior Nicolette Bradshaw
capped the scoring in the 63rd
minutes. The six goals equaled
the total North Pocono surren-
dered in its first 10 games.
North Pocono has been really
strong on defense. Theyve given
up something like10 goals on the
season, Tieso said. So we knew
offensively we had to pick it up.
They girls are coming together.
Weve been clicking offensively

PHILADELPHIA Spencer
Hawes scored 21 points,
grabbed nine rebounds and hit
the go-ahead jumper late in the
fourth quarter to help the Phi-
ladelphia 76ers rally to beat the
Chicago Bulls 79-74 on Friday
night and take a 2-1 lead in
their Eastern Conference play-
off series.
Hawes scored 10 clutch
points in the fourth to give the
eighth-seeded Sixers the sur-
prising series lead.
Game 4 is Sunday in Phila-
delphia.
Already playing the rest of
the series without reigning
MVP Derrick Rose, the Bulls
got another scare in the third
quarter when Joakim Noah left
with a sprained left ankle.
Noah, who scored 12 points,
returned in the fourth quarter
and mostly hobbled around the
court.
With Rose out, the Sixers
believed they were in perfect
position to knock off the top-
seeded Bulls and build a series
lead on their home court.
Good plan.
The Sixers scored only 11
points in the third quarter and
trailed by double digits early in
the fourth before taking off
against the battered Bulls.
Hawes keyed the surge and
buried two free throws to make
it 71-70 with 3:28 left.
After getting crushed on the
boards all game, the Sixers
scooped up a loose ball re-
bound and hit the open court,
only to have Andre Iguodala
miss a long and unnecessary
3-point attempt. Iguodala, both-
ered by right Achilles tendin-
itis, chucked the ball off the
backboard to the dismay of a
crowd that has seen him do
that too many times to count.
Celtics 90, Hawks 84
BOSTON Rajon Rondo
had a triple-double with 17
points, 14 rebounds and 12
assists to lead the Celtics to a
90-84 overtime victory over the
Atlanta Hawks and give Boston
a 2-1 lead in the first-round
playoff series.
Game 4 is Sunday night.
Ray Allen returned after
missing almost a month and
scored 13 points in 38 minutes.
Kevin Garnett had 20 points
and 13 rebounds and Paul
Pierce scored 21 points one
game after leading Boston with
36 points and 14 rebounds.

The Sixers made the announcement Friday at halftime of Game 3
of their playoff series against Chicago. Ervings deal runs through
2015 and he will be available to the franchise on an as-needed basis.
He will counsel CEO Adam Aron and managing owner Joshua
Harris. Erving will also take on a larger role as a goodwill
ambassador for the team, meeting with fans and sponsors.
Erving played 11 seasons with the Sixers and led them to the 1983
NBA championship. His No. 6 was retired by the team and hangs in
the Wells Fargo Center rafters.
He will continue to live in Atlanta.

WASHINGTON Hard to
blame Capitals forward Brooks
Laich or anyone who played
in Washingtons three-overtime
loss to the NewYork Rangers
for wantingtocatchuponsleep.
While dozing, Laich wound
up having quite a nightmare.
I woke up, and for some rea-
son, I thought the season was
over. I had a deep sleep I had
a long deep sleep and I
thought the season was over,
Laich recounted Friday. And
then it refreshed in my mind
that we only lost one hockey
game, that its 2-1. Were still in a
good position.
Yes, Brooks, a team needs to
win four games to end a series,
so theres more hockey to be
playedbetweentheCapitals and
Rangers, starting with Game 4
at Washington today. Top-seed-
ed New York holds that 2-1 lead
Laich reminded himself about,
thanks to a 2-1 victory in
Wednesdays extra-longcontest.
Your morale is certainly a
notch up after winning a game
of that length, rather than los-
ing, Rangers center John
Mitchell said. That is impor-
tant for our team.
Rangers coach John Tortorel-
la used fewer players for more
minutes apiece than Washing-
ton coach Dale Hunter, who
spread ice time out more evenly
amongalarger groupinGame3.
Tortorella bristled Friday at a
question about his team re-
bounding physically fromthe fa-
tigue, saying: Were not tired. ...
This isnt a tired team. Like I
said yesterday, we have no
chance if we ... He cut himself
off there, then added: Ill just
leave it at that. Were fine.
The Capitals, meanwhile, are
hoping to continue a pattern:
They havent lost two consecu-
tive games in more than a
month.
That consistency allowed
Washington to make a late-sea-
son push to qualify for the play-
offs as the No. 7-seeded team in
the East. It also let the Capitals
come back to eliminate the
reigning Stanley Cup champion
Boston Bruins in the first round
after trailing that series 2-1.
Were mentally tougher.
Weve talked a lot about the ad-
versity weve gone through
throughout the course of the
season. When things are getting
tough on us as a group, we stick
to our systems well, forward
Matt Hendricks said. We dont
deviate away from them, the
way we used to, where wed get
down a goal or two and wed get
individual. Wed try to do
things on our own. (Now) were
relying on our system, on our
teammates, and its benefiting
us.
Coach Dale Hunter, who re-
placedthe firedBruce Boudreau
in November, has managed to
get players to focus more on de-
fense and on shot-blocking, on
conservative and possession-
protecting offense.
We bounce back. Six weeks
ago we needed to win. We
couldnt have a losing streak or
we wouldnt be playing right
now, Hunter said. Well be
fine on Saturday.
After repeated earlier-than-
expected exits fromthe playoffs
following fantastic regular sea-
sons including four consecu-
tive division titles Washing-
ton is hanging around against
higher-seededteams inclose-as-
can-be games.
Nine of the Capitals 10 play-
off games have been decided by
one goal.
Five have gone to overtime.
It keeps you in the game. It
keeps you always intense. It
keeps you right in the moment.
Little mistakes cost you. Its fun
to play in those kind of games.
Those are the games you want
to play in, forward Jason Chim-
era said. I wont lie to you: It
wouldbe nice togoout andget a
5-0 lead in the first period and
kind of ride it. But I dont antici-
pate those kind of games.

INDIANAPOLIS All An-
drewLuck wanted to do was stay
composed on the field.
He could have fooled anyone.
While Luck acknowledged
that he was still trying to get ac-
climated to a new playbook, a
new locker room and new team-
mates, those who watched close-
ly on Friday said the new Indi-
anapolis Colts quarterback
looked a whole lot like the one
they remembered at Stanford.
Hes the same Andrew, as bril-
liant as ever, said tight end Co-
by Fleener, Indys second-round
pick and one of Lucks college
teammates. He went out and
was calling plays that were prob-
ably 30 words long off the top of
his head. Hes amazing.
Luck wore a red No. 12 jersey,
just like he did in college, and of
course it helped to have some fa-
miliar faces on the practice field
-- notably Fleener and another
ex-Stanford teammate, receiver
Griff Whalen
But the No. 1 overall pick in
last weeks NFL draft acknowl-
edged Fridays debut did not feel
the same.
He was anxious and nervous.
Television and still cameras were
scattered around the back side of
the team complex, and some of
the teams front-office personnel
even came outside to catch their
first real glimpse of the new fran-
chise quarterback.
Most was impressed with
what they saw in the first work-
out of this weekends rookie
mini-camp.
Hes unflappable, mature be-
yond his years, new coach
Chuck Pagano said. You listen
to some of those play calls and
you knowwhy hes an architectu-
ral engineer. Hes going to have a
great career in that in about 15
years.
First, hell get a crash course in
NFL play-calling, which will be a
challenge for someone widely re-
garded as the most polished col-
lege quarterback since Peyton
Manning.
Pagano said hes hoping the 38
new players learn some simple
things this weekend: What it
takes to be a professional, where
to line up, play calls and the tem-
po of practice.

Doan scored in the first period,
Mike Smith made 25 saves and
the Phoenix Coyotes beat the
Nashville Predators 1-0 on Fri-
daynight tograba 3-1leadinthe
Western Conference semifinal
series.
By winning their first game in
the month of May, the Coyotes
canadvance tothe conference fi-
nals with a win in Game 5 on
Monday night in Arizona.
The Predators played with
forwards Alexander Radulov
and Andrei Kostitsyn scratched
for a second straight game, this
time the decision by coach Bar-
ry Trotz to stick with the lineup
that won 2-0 on Wednesday
night.
They sorely missed their of-
fense, thoughNashville thought
it tied it with 7:12 remaining.
But officials waved off the pow-
er-play goal because a whistle
blew before the puck crossed
the line.
The Predators wound up out-
shooting Phoenix 25-24, but
they had chances with the net
open they simply missed with
Radulov and Kostitsyn on the
sideline. Radulov leads Nash-
ville with a team-high six points
inthe postseason, andKostitsyn
is tied for the team lead with
three goals. Fans cheeredthe an-
nouncement that the two were
scratched after they were sus-
pended for Game 3 for an appar-
ent curfew violation last week-
end in Arizona.
Nashville hadplenty of chanc-
es, outshooting Phoenix 10-5 in
the third.

termine when hes done, and I
dont think he wanted to be done
because of an injury.
Rivera remained with the team
Friday night in Kansas City. He
plans to return to New York this
weekend before consulting with
Yankees team physician Dr.
Christopher Ahmad.
Rivera said he was touched by
the outpouring of support he re-
ceived after the injury even
Miami Heat star LeBron James
mentioned the freak accident.
There was a bouquet of flowers in
the empty locker that adjoined
Riveras in the clubhouse, bring-
ing a smile to his face.
Hes special, Red Sox manag-
er Bobby Valentine said Friday
night in Boston. Hopefully hell
come back, eventhoughhes with
the bad guys.
Royals manager Ned Yost
called Rivera one of a kind,
while Philadelphia closer Jonath-
an Papelbon referred to him as
the godfather of their role.
Its just kindof toughtoput in-
to words, Papelbon said. Its
just tough to see your leader,
your idol its hardto evencom-
prehend it or talk about it.
Longtime Yankees manager
Joe Torre called the injury unfor-
tunate.
Even though he has a tall
mountain to climb I think he still
has a lot of fight left in him, said
Torre, now the MLBs vice presi-
dent for operations. Its a testa-
ment to Marianos work ethic
that he was injured while prepar-
ing for a game as he has done his
entire career.
Rivera had lunch with Alex Ro-
driguez on Friday and spoke with
Derek Jeter in front of the cap-
tains locker when they arrived at
the ballpark. He planned to ad-
dress the rest of the team before
Friday nights game against the
Royals.
We need him around and we
need his presence and his leader-
ship, A-Rod said. He promised
me that hes goingtobe aroundas
muchas possibleandImgoingto
hold him up to that.
Jeter simply shruggedwhenhe
was asked about Rivera making a
comeback, pointing out that he
knew all along that his close
friend of some 20 years would
never be forced into retirement.
Regardless of when he de-
cides to retire or slow down, I
think were going to remember
him for everything that hes
done, Jeter said. People arent
going to remember him for this.
Its an unfortunate incident.
Whenever he decides to do it, its
going to be the same story.
Girardi said that David Robert-
son and Rafael Soriano will close
games the remainder of the sea-
son, though he seemed to indi-
cate Robertson will get the first
shot.
The 27-year-old Robertson
emerged as a dependable setup
man for Rivera, tossing 11 score-
less innings to start the season.
Hes comingoff abreakout year in
which he appeared in 70 games
with a 1.08 ERA, earning his first
All-Star selection in the process.
Very confident in Robby, first
baseman Mark Teixeira said.
Hes been so good for us in the
eighth-inning role. Hes got great
stuff. Hes got confidence. Hes
got the support from us and we
hope to hand him a lot of leads.
The Yankees officially placed
Rivera on the disabled list prior
to the game, giving them10 play-
ers on the DL one fewer than
the rival Red Sox.
In a flurry of roster moves,
right-hander Michael Pineda was
transferred to the 60-day DL, and
outfielder Dewayne Wise and
right-hander Cody Eppley were
brought up from Triple-A Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre. Right-handed
reliever D.J. Mitchell was op-
tioned to Triple-A.
Its the first time that Rivera
has been on the disabled list
since 2003, when he missed time
with a groin injury. But the sting
of the move was lessened by Riv-
eras declarationthat he wouldre-
sume his sterling career once his
knee has been repaired.
I thought he was going to
come back anyways, Teixeira
said. I was one of those guys that
didnt believe he was going to re-
tire. Hes still one of the best play-
ers in the game. Its tough to
think at 42 hed walk away.
RIVERA
Shawn Mitchell said Friday he
didnt know where the brain will
be sent.
The Seau family really has,
almost like Junior, a philan-
thropic approach, where they al-
ways desire to help others,
Mitchell said in a phone inter-
view. The purpose is not initial-
ly to discover anything about
their son and what led to these
tragic circumstances, but rather
the betterment of other people
and athletes down the road
through anything that can be
learned through the study.
He said the family was not
speculating as to whether con-
cussions were a factor in Seaus
suicide.
Garrett Webster, the adminis-
trator and player liaison for the
Brain Injury Research Institute,
said his group has requested
that the family donate the brain
but hasnt heard back.
I dont want this to sound too
crass, but weve sort of made
our pitch, said Webster, the son
of the late Hall of Fame center
Mike Webster of the Pittsburgh
Steelers. We hope the family
choses us, but the important
thing is somebodys going to get
it and its going to get looked
into. Junior Seau was a wonder-
ful man and were all aware of
his work with charities. I wish it
never happened. The important
thing is, in some way, this will
continue his legacy on giving
back to the community and
helping people.
Webster said it was his under-
standing that Dr. Bennett Oma-
lu, the co-founder of the Brain
Injury Research Institute, assist-
ed with the autopsy as a profes-
sional courtesy, and the trip
gave him the opportunity to
speak with the family.
Medical examiners spokeswo-
man Sarah Gordon said she
couldnt comment beyond what
her office released regarding the
findings of the autopsy.
Officials at Boston Universi-
tys Center for the Study of Trau-
matic Encephalopathy did not
return calls from The Associated
Press seeking comment Friday
on whether researchers there
had reached out to the Seau
family. The Boston University
center has analyzed the brains of
dozens of former athletes, in-
cluding that of former Chicago
player Dave Duerson, who shot
himself in the chest last year.
Duersons family has filed a
wrongful death suit against the
NFL, claiming the league didnt
do enough to prevent or treat
concussions that severely dam-
aged Duersons brain before he
died in in February 2011.
Another ex-player, former At-
lanta Falcons safety Ray Easter-
ling, who had joined in a concus-
sion-related lawsuit against the
league one of dozens filed in
the last year shot himself last
month at age 62.
SEAU
Coming off our last series
and going every night, Ive
been able to get into a
rhythm, he said. Last year
was the first year I was able to
play in a seven-game series,
and you really get into the feel-
ing and emotion. Going out
there every night knowing who
youre facing has been a lot of
fun.
In last seasons playoffs
Thiessen was remarkable.
Through two rounds he posted
a 1.67 goals against average
and a .940 save percentage.
Seven games into this years
playoffs, Thiessens numbers
are trending back to where
they were last season. He cur-
rently has a 2.14 GAA and a
.906 save percentage.
Hes been solid, Hynes
said. He hasnt given up any
bad goals. Hes been a rock
back there for us and has given
our team confidence.
Strait questionable
Defenseman Brian Strait has
missed the first two games of
the series with an undisclosed
injury. He didnt skate in Fri-
days practice and Hynes said
he is day-to-day.
PENGUINS
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Nick
Watney answered what he re-
ferred to as a wake-up call at the
Wells Fargo Championship by
taking the lead.
Tiger Woods might need one
after missing the cut.
Watney had gone nine
straight rounds on the PGA
Tour without breaking 70 and
had failed to crack the top 10 in
all nine of his stroke-play tour-
naments this year. He worked
hard to change that, and it paid
off Friday with an 8-under 64
that gave him a one-shot lead
over Webb Simpson going into
the weekend.
A two-time winner last year,
Watney had failed to crack the
top 30 in a full-field event this
year, and missed the cut in New
Orleans for his first weekend off
at a tournament since July.
I think last week was a wake-
up call for me, Watney said.
And Ive worked really hard
these five days leading into this
event. I think it just shows Im
making progress. Who knows
whats going to happen this
weekend, but Im really excited
for it. More hard work, and
hopefully Ill be in this position
a lot more.
Woods wound up in rare
position.
He failed to make a birdie on
any of the par 5s or any hole on
his back nine, missing a 4-foot
birdie putt on his 17th hole with
the cut on the line. Woods
wound up with a 73 his
eighth consecutive round in the
70s for an even-par 144 to
miss the cut by one shot.
It was only the eighth time in
267 events on the PGA Tour
that Woods missed the cut, and
the first time it happened at the
same place twice Quail Hol-
low, where in four trips before
the downfall in his personal life
Woods had won once and never
finished worse than11th.
This is one of my favorite
tour stops, and unfortunately,
Im just not going to be around
for the last two days, Woods
said.
Phil Mickelson and Lee West-
wood narrowly avoided joining
him.
Mickelson was right on the
cut line and facing a scary finish
on the par-3 17th over water and
the par-4 18th, with a stream
running down the left side and
trees and trouble on the right.
He played both holes perfectly
for pars, though his 72 left him
11 shots out of the lead.
Lefty couldnt believe how
much the course had changed
from Thursday morning, espe-
cially with the swirling wind
that made the course nearly
tough enough to let Woods back
into the tournament. Woods
was tied for 85th when he fin-
ished. At one point, he was tied
for 72nd.
Seventy-four players made
the cut at 1-under 143, the first
time in the 10-year history at
Quail Hollow the cut was under
par.
I havent seen as big a
change since like Shinnecock
95 where it was a whole differ-
ent course, Mickelson said,
referring to the U.S. Open. So I
played well today. I didnt get
the ball in the hole as well as I
would have liked, but I hit a lot
of good putts that caught the
lip, I hit a lot of putts that just
didnt go in and I hit a lot of
good shots that just didnt quite
go my way today.
Westwood was outside the
cut line until he holed an18-foot
birdie on the 17th and made par
on No. 18 for a 72. He will play
with Mickelson on Saturday.
Watney was at 12-under 132
and will play in the final group
with Simpson, who had a 68.
Watney is staying with Simp-
son, who lives about a mile
away. One side benefit from his
64 was that he has a bet with his
host that high score takes out
the garbage each day.
Stewart Cink, winless since
he captured the British Open at
Turnberry in 2009, had a 69 and
joined Ben Crane (64), John
Senden (68) and D.A. Points
(68) two shots out of the lead.
Ryan Moore had a penalty
stroke for his ball moving on a
tap-in and had to settle for a 70.
He was at 9-under 135.
Senden looked as if he might
catch Watney in the lead when
he was in the middle of the
fairway on the par-5 seventh
hole. But his approach went
well long and under a tree, and
he wound up with a bogey.
Rory McIlroy celebrated his
23rd birthday Friday with a
birdie on his final hole for a 68
that kept him in range, just six
shots back. McIlroy nearly mis-
sed the cut two years ago until
an eagle on his 16th hole of the
second round allowed to make
it on the number. He went on to
win the tournament.
Woods wont have such a
chance, though he did have
some luck a bizarre ruling on
the par-5 fifth hole in which he
never found his ball and didnt
get penalized. His second shot
went well left, over the gallery
and into the trees. There was a
mad scramble to surround the
ball, but when Woods arrived,
the ball was nowhere to be
found.
Rules official Mark Russell
spoke to spectators who said
they saw it land, and consid-
ering the open terrain, deter-
mined a fan had taken the ball.
INSPERITY CHAMPIONSHIP
THE WOODLANDS, Texas
Tom Lehman had an eagle
and five birdies on the first eight
holes on the back nine, then
bogeyed the par-4 18th for a
7-under 65 and a one-shot lead
after the first round of the
Champions Tours Insperity
Championship.
Fred Funk and Houston na-
tive Tom Jenkins were tied for
second, and past winners John
Cook and Bernhard Langer
topped a large group at 68.
The 53-year-old Lehman, the
player of the year last season
after winning three times, has
three top-12 finishes in six
Champions Tour starts this
year. He eagled the par-5 15th
en route to his lowest score in
nine Champions Tour rounds at
The Woodlands.
SPANISHOPEN
SEVILLE, Spain Frances
Gregory Bourdy shot a 6-under
66 in windy conditions to take a
one-stroke lead after the second
round of the 100th Spanish
Open.
Bourdy had a 5-under 139
total at Real Club de Golf de
Sevilla.
Italian teen Matteo Manass-
ero boosted his hopes of making
the U.S. Open, shooting a 70
join Spains Jorge Campillo (72)
of Spain and Englishmen Robert
Rock (72) and Simon Dyson
(69) at 4 under. Manassero,
ranked 64th, needs to be inside
the top 60 by May 21 to earn a
spot in the U.S. Open.
American Shaun Micheel, the
first-round leader, shot a 77 and
slip to even par.

TALLADEGA, Ala. Its onto
Talladega Superspeedway, where
the focus Friday was on engine
temperatures and tandem racing
and everything that factors into
the fast Alabama track.
But as everyone turned their
attention to Sundays race, there
was still a slight hangover from
the dramatic decisions that al-
tered NASCARs last outing.
A late penalty took Carl Ed-
wards out of contention for the
win Saturday night at Richmond,
anda cautionfor debris gave Kyle
Buschthe openingtotake the vic-
tory away fromTony Stewart. Af-
ter finishing third, Stewart com-
plained the debris was nothing
more than a plastic bottle that
provided zero threat to anyone
on the track.
Both drivers left Richmond un-
happy with NASCAR, but both
had cooled by the time they got
to Talladega.
There is nothing else that I
can do, said Edwards, who was
penalizedfor jumpinga restart. I
amsatisfied with that personally,
that I did everything I could do
and that is that.
Stewart also seemed resigned
to simply accepting the final out-
come.
It looked like a bottle to me,
but the end result is the same
thing: it still cost us anopportuni-
ty. It still cost us a win, Stewart
said. Yes, they did what they
needed to do, but you just hate
the timing of it. And, you hate
that it even happened in the first
place.
Either way, the late-race theat-
rics hadpeople talking, andthats
what NASCAR needed after a
stretch of ho-hom racing. The
last month has featured unusual-
ly clean, caution-free racing, and
the long green-flag runs have
stretched the field and eliminat-
ed accidents. The last multi-car
accident in the Sprint Cup Series
was at Martinsville Speedway,
three races ago.
On Friday, NASCAR president
Mike Helton defended both the
penalty against Edwards, it was
never in doubt he jumped the res-
tart, andtheneedfor thecaution
debris that spoiled Stewarts
race, it was a good bit more sig-
nificant than a water bottle. We
knowthe difference froma water
bottle.
But he didnt discount the af-
fect both incidents had on the
perceptionof the overall product,
which usually spikes whenever
NASCAR is shrouded in contro-
versy and drama. Helton remains
confident theres plenty of action
ahead for NASCAR.
Ive been around long enough
that Ive seen stretches where
weve got more drama than we
can handle, and Ive seen stretch-
es where the focus should be on
the race track, he said. So just
sit tight. In my opinion, theres
going to be drama, and there was
a little last weekend between
them and us.
Tony didnt like our call, Carl
didnt like our call, and those are
the two guys that tied for the
championship last year. And they
were both mad at us. Mad at us
because of the intensity of them
wanting to win races, and thats
what drives the sport. I think (in-
tensity) is alive and well. When
that turns into drama just stay
tuned.
Nowcomes Sunday at Tallade-
ga, where its unclear what kind
of racing fans will see.
The 2.66-mile superspeedway
has traditionally been one of the
most exciting venues on the
NASCAR schedule, in part be-
cause of the constant threat of a
massive accident that can collect
a large portion of the field. The
mandated use of restrictor plates
at Daytona and Talladega forever
kept the entire 43-car field
bunched in a pack, and one
wrong move by one driver could
trigger The Big One.
That changed over the last few
years as drivers figured out the
fastest way around the track was
in a two-car tandem with one
driver pushing another. Fans hat-
ed the tandem racing, and NAS-
CAR worked tirelessly over the
winter to create a rules package
that would end the practice.

Talladega could continue to spice up season
By JENNA FRYER
AP Auto Racing Writer
The news came tearing
through the peloton on that
awful spring day, in whispers
passed from rider to rider fol-
lowing Stage 3 of the Giro
dItalia.
When the news finally reac-
hed Tyler Farrar, he nearly col-
lapsed in anguish.
What happened in the Giro
was pretty horrible, he recalls.
Theres no denying that.
It was nearly one year ago
that Farrars good friend, Bel-
gian rider Wouter Weylandt,
was killed during a crash on a
fast, technical descent. The af-
fable, well-liked Weylandt be-
came the fourth rider to die in
the history of the race, and the
first in one of cyclings three
main tours in nearly two dec-
ades.
Farrar had spent countless
hours with Weylandt on train-
ing rides around Belgium,
where the American makes his
in-season home. He was so
grief-stricken that he pulled
out of the race after riding a
ceremonial Stage 4, crossing
the finish line with Weylandts
teammates.
It was a rough time, Farrar
says now, with the Giro set to
start today in Herning, Den-
mark. That kind of thing
doesnt go away. I dont think it
ever completelygoes away. But
cycling is my life, my job, and
even though it happened, I still
love the sport. I still love racing
my bike.
That has helped Farrar not
only cope with the passing of a
close friend, but with all the
other heartache that bikes
have caused him.
There have been his own
crashes, too numerous to
count, including the one a cou-
ple years back in the Tour de
France, when he broke his
wrist. He suffered through 10
stages before the pain became
too much, finally pulling out of
cyclings premier race.
Thentherewas thedayhere-
ceived a phone call that his fa-
ther, Edward Farrar, an ortho-
pedic surgeon back home in
Wenatchee, Wash., had been
hit by a car while riding to
work. The elder Farrar had
played linebacker at Georgia
Tech, climbed some of the
worlds highest mountains and
become an accomplished cy-
clist in his own right. Nowhes
paralyzed from the chest
down.
Cyclinghas certainlytaking
some things away from me in
my life, but its also given me a
lot, Tyler Farrar says. Theres
been rough moments, and mo-
ments where it wasnt my fa-
vorite thing inthe world, but in
the global picture, its givenme
the life I have.
Ive wanted to be a profes-
sional cyclist since I was about
14 years old, he added, as if
trying to convince people hes
not crazy. Youjust havetodeal
with the hard part.
The 27-year-old Farrar has
persevered through those
many hard parts those dark
days after Weylandts death,
when he would lay in bed
sometimes all day long to
emerge on the doorstep of
what could be the brightest of
summers.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.
Derek Jeter belted a two-run
homer, CC Sabathia went
eight innings for the third
straight time and the New
York Yankees beat the Kansas
City Royals 6-2 on an encou-
raging Friday night.
It began with closer Mar-
iano Riveras announcement
that he plans to return from a
devastating knee injury rather
than retire, and ended when
David Robertson struck out
the side in the ninth to give
Sabathia (4-0) his fourth
straight victory.
Jeter singled and scored on
Mark Teixeiras homer in the
first inning, and then broke
the game open with his fifth
homer during a four-run sev-
enth. Jeter hit only six homers
all last year, his fifth coming
on Sept. 4.
Tigers 5, White Sox 4
DETROIT Jhonny Per-
altas two-run homer in the
bottom of the ninth inning
gave the Detroit Tigers a win
over the Chicago White Sox.
Chicago led 4-2 after Gor-
don Beckhams tiebreaking
two-run shot in the seventh,
but Detroit got a run back in
the eighth on an RBI single by
Miguel Cabrera. After Alex
Avilas one-out single in the
ninth, Peralta ended it with a
homer to right-center off Matt
Thornton (1-1).
Indians 6, Rangers 3
CLEVELAND Johnny
Damon hit a two-run triple
and Jeanmar Gomez pitched
seven strong innings to lead
the Cleveland Indians over the
Texas Rangers.
Gomez (2-1) gave up seven
hits and three runs as Cleve-
land won for the fourth time
in five games. Texas has lost
five of seven, but still leads

STANDINGS/STATS
ROCHESTER, N.Y. Ramon
Ortiz best start for Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre will go down as a
loss.
The right-hander only al-
lowed one run in six innings of
work on Friday against Roch-
ester.
But the Red Wings pitchers
were better holding the Yankees
scoreless as the Yankees drop-
ped a 3-0 decision at Frontier
Field.
While Red Wings starter
Scott Diamond allowed runners
to reach base in each of the first
three innings but pitched his
way out of trouble all three
times, Ortiz couldnt do the
same although he was close.
The right-hander allowed a
leadoff double to Rene Tosoni
to start the top of the fourth.
He then got Aaron Bates and
Joe Benson on strikes, but Matt
Rizzotti doubled in Tosoni for a
1-0 lead.
The Yankees loaded the bases
in the bottom of the third with
one out, but Diamond got Jack
Cust to pop out and Brandon
Laird to ground into a fielders
choice to end the threat.
SWB also had three runners
on in the bottom of the seventh
with two outs and in the bot-
tom of the ninth with one out.
In the seventh with Steve
Pearce the hottest hitter on
the team coming up entering
the game as the third-leading
hitter in the International
League with an average of .372
he flied out to end the threat.
Pearce (0-for-4) again came
up empty in the ninth with
three runners on and struck out
for the second out. Cust flied
out to end the game.
The game was 1-0 until the
top of the ninth when SWB re-
liever Chase Whitley allowed
the first two batters to reach
putting runners on first and
third with no outs.
The Red Wings second run
scored on a single by Darin
Mastroianni. A sacrifice fly by
Ben Revere gave Rochester a
3-0 advantage.
Yankees leadoff hitter Kevin
Russo (2-for-3) and No. 9 hitter
Ray Kruml (2-for-4) were the
lone multiple hitters for the
team, which stranded 13 run-
ners on base and was 1-for-13
with runners in scoring posi-
tion.
Former Red Baron teammates
in 2001 will square off today
when Nelson Figueroa pitches
for the Yankees against Paw-
tuckets Brandon Duckworth. Fi-
gueroa also took the hill for the
Barons in 2001 and Duckworth
was on the 2003 squad.
Transactions
The Yankees were part of six
transactions involving New
York, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre or
Trenton. Reliever Cody Eppley
was called up from SWB to New
York and Dewayne Wise was
signed and selected by N.Y.
from SWB. D.J. Mitchell was op-
tioned back to Triple-A. Also for
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Ramiro
Pena was placed on the seven-
day disabled list and Corban Jo-
seph was activated from the
D.L., but was sent to Trenton.

Markets drop sharply
Stocks plunged Friday after the gov-
ernment reported that hiring slowed
sharply last month. The report con-
firmed investors fears that the U.S.
economic recovery is faltering.
The losses in the market were wide-
spread. Both the Nasdaq composite
and the Standard & Poors 500 index
closed out their worst weeks of the
year. The Dow Jones industrial average
had its second-worst week of the year.
The dollar and U.S. Treasury prices
rose as investors dumped risky assets
and moved money into lower-risk in-
vestments.
It was the third straight daily loss for
the Dow, which is still up 6.7 percent
this year, the S&P 500 8.9 percent.
PPL earns more profit
PPL Corp. announced Friday a big
jump in first-quarter profit.
The Allentown electric company
posted earnings of $541 million, or 93
cents a share, for the three-month
period ended March 31. Thats 35 per-
cent more than last years first-quarter
earnings of $401 million.
However, excluding special items,
PPLs earnings from ongoing oper-
ations for the quarter were lower --
$409 million, compared to $407 million
in 2011.
Apple sways funds
Shares of Apple Inc. are having a
huge impact this year on the perform-
ance of mutual funds, especially those
investing primarily in large-cap growth
stocks like Apple.
One reason is that the stock is up
about 44 percent, four times the return
of the broader market.
Apple has become the worlds most
valuable company, and represents 7.3
percent of an index comprised of
growth stocks within the Russell 1000.
Hundreds of funds use the Russell 1000
Growth index as their performance
benchmark, so most of those funds
own Apple stock in an effort to beat or
match its returns.
USPS asks for action
The U.S. Postal Service is urging the
House to quickly pass legislation that
would give it wide authority to close
thousands of low-revenue post offices,
reduce labor costs and end Saturday
delivery. The agency forecasts a $14.1
billion loss by the end of this year;
without changes, it says annual losses
would exceed $21 billion by 2016.

LOS ANGELES Battleship, the
first in a string of movies based on Has-
bro board games, has survived an arma-
da of tomato-throwing critics and
chugged to $170 million in ticket sales
overseas.
Yet it faces choppy seas as it steams
toward its U.S. debut on May 18. What
might sink Battleship is competition
from other hotly expected blockbus-
ters, including the superhero adventure
The Avengers and Sonys long-await-
ed Men in Black III, which rolls out
May 23.
The hit-or-miss fate of a given Holly-
woodbig-budget movie doesnt normal-
ly matter that much. Media company
analysts discount the studios as too vol-
atile to be given much credit inside
large conglomerates.
But Battleship is the first board
game movie since Clue tanked in
1985. Its a barometer for the appetite of
audiences for a handful of other Hasbro
board game movies, including Univer-
sals own Ouija, due out next year, as
well as Risk andCandy Land, which
are in the works at Sony Corp.s movie
studio.
Universal Pictures took the unusual
stepof releasingBattleship ininterna-
tional markets five weeks before its U.S.
debut.
The overseas haul for Battleship
goes part way to justifying its reported
$209 million price tag. But after sub-
tracting splits with theater owners and
marketing costs, it is estimated to need
about half a billion dollars at box offices
to turn a profit.
Thats tough given the competition.
In a little more than one week, The
Avengers snagged $304 million
abroad, far more than Battleship did
in three weeks.
Both movies squarely target the
young males that make or break Holly-
wood movies in the all-important sum-
mer movie season.
American patriotic militarism is ac-
cepted overseas, but not relished, and
international audiences appear to have
overlooked a heavy dose of it in Battle-
ship to get their action movie fix.

WASHINGTONThe Can-
adian company trying to build
the disputed Keystone XL
pipeline in the U.S. submitted
a new application for the pro-
ject Friday after changing the
route to avoidenvironmentally
sensitive land in Nebraska.
TransCanada said it applied
again to the State Department
for permission to build the
pipeline to carry oil from so-
called tar sands in western
Canada to a company hub in
Steele City, Neb. From there,
the project would link up with
other pipelines operated by
the company to carry oil to re-
fineries on the Texas Gulf
Coast.
The Obama administration
blocked the pipeline earlier
this year, citing uncertainty
over the Nebraska route -- a de-
cision that drew fire from Re-
publicans andindustry groups.
State Department approval
is needed because the $7 bil-
lionpipeline wouldcross a U.S.
border.
Obama is under pressure to
support the pipeline from Re-
publicans and business and la-
bor leaders who argue it would
create jobs; the State Depart-
ment estimates it could result
in up to 6,000 new jobs.
The multi-billion dollar
Keystone XL pipeline project
will reduce the United States
dependence on foreign oil and
support job growth by putting
thousands of Americans to
work, said Russ Girling, Tran-
sCanadas president and chief
executive officer. The pipe-
lines opponents, including
Democrats and environmental
groups, say it would transport
dirty oil fromtar sands in Al-
berta, Canada, that would re-
quire huge amounts of energy
to extract. They also worry
about a possible spill. The
pipeline would travel through
Montana, South Dakota, Kan-
sas and Oklahoma, in addition
to Nebraska.

BEIJING China agreed
Friday to let foreigners own
bigger stakes in its securities
firms and promised to limit
export subsidies after a high-
level dialogue with the Unit-
ed States went ahead despite
a standoff over a Chinese le-
gal activist.
Chinas government also
said it was implementing an
earlier commitment to ex-
pand access to its auto insur-
ance market and would allow
greater foreign investment in
Chinese stocks and bonds. It
promised to pursue reforms
of its controversial exchange
rate controls but gave no
timeline.
This weeks Strategic and
Economic Dialogue came as a
weak global economy and
pressure to generate jobs is
fueling U.S. demands for Beij-
ing to lower market barriers
and scrap currency controls.
Washington complains Chi-
nas currency is undervalued,
giving its exporters an unfair
advantage and hurting for-
eign competitors and the
global economy.
Chinese officials agreed to
raise the cap on foreign own-
ership of securities joint-ven-
tures to 49 percent. That is
above Chinas promise of 20
percent ownership as part of
its World Trade Organization
obligations.
The two governments said
they would start negotiations
this summer on limits to ex-
port credits.

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

NATIONAL FORECAST: Showers and thunderstorms will be possible along a frontal boundary from
the northern Plains to the Ohio Valley and east into the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. Some strong to
severe storms will be possible from Nebraska and South Dakota into Iowa. There will be a few scat-
tered showers possible over the western Great Lakes region.

AT HOME S E C T I O N C
timesleader.com
Some easy undertakings can
make a big difference in the ap-
pearance of your home:
Takea tour. Its easytoget used
to little flaws and stop noticing.
Periodically walk through your
house with a note pad, looking
criticallyat eachroomandjotting
down the fix-ups needed.
Dont let the task overwhelm.
Pick off a chore or two as you
have time.
Revive your woodwork. Win-
dow frames, door casings, base-
boards and other wood surfaces
can scar over time, but hiding
dings is easy.
I used Restor-A-Finish from
Howard Products Co. to freshen
my woodwork. Rub it on with
fine steel wool, and it softens the
old finish just enough to let the
stain seep in to hide all those lit-
tle blemishes. You also can dis-
guise scratches in wood with a
wax touch-up stick, a crayon or
even a nut meat, but I like how
Restor-A-Finish leaves a protec-
tive coat over the repaired areas.
Best, its fast. I had all the door
casings and window frames on
my first floor done in15 minutes.
Touch up the paint. Walls can
take a beating. Little chips and
scars make painted surfaces look
dowdy.
When I finish a paint job, I like
to save a cup of leftover paint in a
plastic deli container for touch-
ups. The paint stays fresher than
it would in a can and is easier to
store.
Choose a container with a
tight-fitting lid so you can shake
the paint to mix it before you
start to work. Then take a small
artists paintbrush and brush on a
little paint to hide the scars.
Clean smudges. Look closely
to spot smudges on walls and
doors, especially around switch-
es and knobs.
A Mr. Clean Magic Eraser re-
moves those in a snap. So does
Scrubbing Bubbles, which re-
moved all kinds of dirt fromhard
surfaces. I dont think Ive ever
used it to clean a bathroom, but I
use it all the time on my walls.
Clean light fixtures and fans.
Have you looked at your dining-
room chandelier lately? Chances
are no, because we rarely lookup.
Chandeliers are particularly
prone to collecting dirt, because
they have so many surfaces. A
good dusting will let your light
shine brighter.
Check the state of the globes
over light fixtures, the blades of
ceiling fans and the plastic grates
over bathroomexhaust fans. The
latter might benefit from remov-
ing the grate and giving the inner
workings a good vacuuming, but
shut off the power first.
Vacuumcrevices. Did you ever
look at the spot where your car-
pet meets the baseboard? The
vacuum cleaner doesnt reach it
well, so its a place where lint,
dust and other dirt collect.
Thats what a vacuumcleaners
crevice tool is made for. Its a noz-
zle with a narrowend that fits in-
to slender spaces, and its perfect
for grooming carpet edges.
Dust high and low. Baseboards
get dusty. Ceilings collect cob-
webs. With a long-handled dust-
er, make a pass around the top of
a room, thenthe lower perimeter.
Doesnt that look better?
Spruce up
your house

A d-i-y furniture project that takes lit-
tle time and costs little money? Almost
sounds too good to be true, but ask Ed
Rosser of Wapwallopen how he made a
cable-spool coffee table for about $20.
Rossers wife, Lisa, got the idea from
Pinterest andCountry Living magazine.
The neat thing about it is not only is
it a table, its also used as a bookshelf,
and you can push it around anywhere in
the room that you want to because its
on wheels, Rosser said.
The hard part? Finding the spool.
You need to get an electricians wir-
ing spool, which can be tough, he said.
I went to an electrical contractor and
Rosser spent a total of $21; $15 for the
dowels and $6 for the wheel casters
Project level: Intermediate
How cool? Five stars. Putting to-
gether a piece of furniture this big in so
little time is a pretty awesome feat.
Tips: These spools are bolted to-
gether, so tighten the bolts to the spool
before even starting anything. As con-
tractors and people use them, they loos-
en up over time. Make sure to tighten
the bolts and reinforce the strength of
the spool itself.
the spool, where theyre fastened from
underneath with wood screws.
You have to sand the tops of the dow-
els so they sit flush with the table top,
Rosser said.
Next, make it mobile. Rosser screwed
three wheel casters to the spool bottom.
Finally, paint the spool the color you
desire and use something to seal the top
of the table to prevent scratching. Ross-
er used water-based polyurethane.
So, is this a good fit for a beginning
do-it-yourselfer?
Oh my God, yes, he said. Its quite
simple. It tookme about twohours todo
the whole thing, from putting it togeth-
er to painting it.
Total cost: With the free spool,
was given it for free. I would imagine
someone might ask around $20, $25.
The spools come in various sizes.
Dowels are used to create partitions
to separate books. To determine dowel
placement, Rosser measured around
the spool and divided it by the number
of -inch dowels he wanted: 8. He
marked off the spaces and got to work
drilling holes at the marks with a -inch
bit.
Make sure to drill from whats going
tobe the topof the table down. As youre
drilling, the bit is going to tear the wood
apart, and you dont want that on the ta-
ble top.
The dowels are then hammered into
the holes until they touch the bottomof

N
ows the perfect time for dreaming about your
spring and summer garden. Gather up your
seed and garden catalogs, take some notes,
visit a garden center, let your imagination
loose and put a plan on paper.
Choosing one style, though, can be difficult. Do you want a
formal garden, a cottage garden, perhaps herbs mixed in with
vegetables and flowers? Will you grow only culinary herbs or
a combination of culinary,
aromatic and decorative?
Why not a little of them all?
Consider planting a number of
smaller, themed gardens. I did that
at my home in Maine and came to
see each one as a room:
There was a beautiful knot

bench in the TEA GARDEN where
I grew chamomile, lemon thyme,
sage, yarrow, lemon balm, roses,
calendula, bee balm, mint, lemon
verbena and several scented gerani-
ums. The bees loved this garden,
and it was a great stress-reliever to
sit on the bench in the warm
sun and listen to the buzz of
their activity, inhale the fra-
grances and enjoy the gardens
peace and beauty. In the middle
of winter, it was possible to sit
and recall the warmer days of
summer; the bee-balm seed
heads were as fragrant then as
in midsummer, and you had only
to crush one to be taken back.
The CULINARY GARDEN was

circular with a birdbath in the
center. The walks around the
beds were of crushed rock, and
bricks outlined the circular
shape. In the winter, the snow

Q: I have an
asphalt-shin-
gle roof that I
am thinking
of replacing.
In our
neighborhood
I have seen
other roofs replaced. Some
have had the old shingles
removed and others have had
the new shingles installed
over the existing ones. Is one
way better than the other?
I imagine putting new shin-
gles over the old ones is
cheaper, but is it as good?
A: It is cheaper, but Ive
never considered it wise. My
roof was done just before I
bought the house, and Ive
seen just one layer under-
neath. Most of my neighbors
have new roofs, and the roof-
ers took off the old to make
sure the decking was solid
and what needed to be re-
placed was done.
If there is just one layer of
shingles on the roof and you
are adding one more, then,
yes, it might be all right.
From what Ive read, most
roof structures can support a
couple of layers of shingles
without causing problems.
It is important, however,
that the roof underneath be
able to accommodate the one
being installed on top of it. If
a lot of the old shingles are
curled, the new ones might
assume that shape.
Does the existing roof leak?
You might be covering it over
rather than repairing it.
There is also a manufactur-
ers warranty to check out
before anything is done to
make sure that you dont inad-
vertently void it.
Q: Two of my sisters have

made renovations to their
bathrooms. They have re-
moved the bathtubs to replace
them with walk-in showers.
They only have other half-
baths, therefore no other
bathtubs. What are your feel-
ings regarding sale values of
homes if there is not a bath-
tub available in the house?
A: Although we have be-
come a people that appears to
favor the quick shower over
the long bath, most buyers
want to have the option avail-
able.
I can see a point in having
just one tub in the house
rather than in every bath-
room, but I wouldnt go out of
my way to remove one, espe-
cially if it did the job.
Older bathtubs tended to be
shorter than modern ones.
People who use tubs prefer to
stretch out in them rather
than curl up their legs. If the
existing tub was, say, 4 feet
and I could add a longer one
without having to spend thou-
sands of dollars to do so, I
would.
You cannot assume that
buyers tastes will be just like
yours, especially in a resale
market in which those who
are looking want everything
to be available and dont want
or have lots of money
to make it so.
Theyll just move on to the
next house.

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

COOL DIGS
would melt off the rocks first
and leave the herb beds cov-
ered, making an interesting
pattern. I grew tarragon,
marjoram, curled onion,
chives, sage, winter savory,
Welsh bunching onion, garlic
chives, thyme, oregano, nas-
turtium, parsley, coriander,
chervil, basil and borage
here. It was my habit to pick
a bouquet of these herbs to
chop and toss into a salad. If
there were any left over, I
would put them in a basket
to dry for winter use or
freeze them in a little water
to add to a winter soup. As
soon as the snow melted, the
chives and bunching onions
were there to harvest for the
first taste of spring. The blue
jays and mourning doves that
frequented the birdbath were
great company on an after-
noon spent cultivating and
harvesting.
The ROSE GARDEN was

next; it had two entrance
trellises and a third trellis
with a bench underneath. In
the beginning, I planted 14
old-fashioned roses, but
some didnt survive the cold
winter. I replaced them with
the more vigorous rugosa
rose. This garden also was
circular but with a larger
center than the culinary gar-
den. I edged the center with
sweet alyssum, placed a love-
ly old clay pot in the middle
filled with scented gerani-
ums, then planted double
pink petunias around it. The
effect was of a huge tussie
mussie. I planted creeping
thyme between the bricks in
the path. The aroma was out
of this world. When the
thyme was in bloom, the
bees were busy at the blos-
soms so it was necessary to
step carefully. The trellises
made interesting shadows in
the snow for a pleasing win-
ter effect. Garden structures
can be important for a winter
garden.
The next garden was the

EVERLASTING GARDEN,
where I planted herbs and
flowers that dry for decora-
tive use: liatris, strawflow-
ers, statice, echinops, xeran-
themum, acroclinium, fever-
few and salvia horminium, to
name a few. Everlastings are
generally easy to grow, and
in most cases the annuals
can withstand a light frost. I
planted this garden first in
the spring and simply cov-
ered the rows with Remay
cloth until the days became
warmer. A huge number of

strawflowers can be harvest-
ed from just a dozen plants; I
picked them every sunny day.
This garden provided me
with bouquets to carry to
friends, fresh flowers in sum-
mer and dried bouquets in
the winter. The pleasure of
giving and getting was two-
fold: between the garden and
me and between my friends
and me.
I had never heard of a LI-

BATION GARDEN until one
day I realized I had inadver-
tently planted hops, grapes
and elderberries together in
one corner of the main gar-
den and that all are used to
make alcoholic drinks. I de-
cided to expand on the idea,
did some research and discov-
ered that heathers were once
used as a substitute for hops
in making beer. So I added
heathers to this garden. I
planted sweet woodruff for
May wine, and a quince bush,
rose bush, mint, wormwood
and lemon balm for making
cordials. A friend would occa-
sionally harvest hops for
beer, but I didnt try it. I did,
however, harvest the hop
cones each year for use in
sleep pillows, an old-time
remedy for insomnia. And the
heathers were a marvelous
addition for year-round plea-
sure. The reds, greens and
golds of the leaves and the
pink, rose and white flowers
make a garden tapestry to be
enjoyed even on a winter
walk. I harvested bunches to
use in wreaths and winter
bouquets. There was a low
bench in this garden that was
a wonderful place to hide
away and sit quietly. The
mint crept out into the path,
and its refreshing fragrance
would linger long after it was
touched.
The FRAGRANT GARDEN

was just what the name im-
plies. On warm summer after-
noons, its heady aroma could
be overpowering. Lavender
was, of course, a part of this
garden. Old-fashioned cinna-
mon pinks, though not as at-
tractive as the new hybrids,
smelled beautiful. I planted
several dwarf lilacs and a half
dozen peonies, along with
several fragrant rugosa roses
and garden phlox. There was
a succession of aromatic
blooms all summer, from the
early spring peonies to the
late summer phlox. I harvest-
ed huge baskets of peony pet-
als for potpourri and added
rose petals from the rose gar-
den. I enjoyed strolling in the
gardens just at dusk and pick-
ing a bouquet of fragrant
herbs to infuse for use in the
bathtub. I would put some
sprigs in a pan of water, sim-
mer for a few minutes and
then strain the infusion into
the bath water. The whole
house would smell sweet.
With all this talk of fragrant

baths, meditative teas and se-
cret hiding corners, you
might get the wrong impres-
sion of what it is like to culti-
vate more than an acre of gar-
den space.
My knees were permanent-
ly stained brown.
It was difficult at times to
really enjoy the gardens
or get away for any length of
time because there was
always something that need-
ed attention.
Summer was an intense
time of planting, weeding,
harvesting and processing.
But I loved it.

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: Im an
artist and budding
filmmaker with a
B.A. degree. My
problems are my job
situation and where
I live.
My dad has told
me that like him and his father
my brother and I share a similar prob-
lem. We all have trouble getting and
keeping jobs. We never seem to get
ahead or be content or comfortable.
On my mothers side, however, she,
her father, her brother and my cousin
all have held steady jobs. Why is that?
As an artist, I feel I dont really fit
into any job description. Mom would
like me to work for the federal gov-
ernment like she does, but I dont
want to. I have fought depression and
personal attacks from friends and
classmates who all told me to give
up and get a real job. It makes me
even more determined to realize my
dream, but its getting harder. Can
you advise me?
Swimming Against the Current
Dear Swimming: Ill try. Most people
work so they can have food on their
table and a roof over their heads.
Their jobs serve a purpose. I agree
with your mother that you should
have one but I wouldnt presume
to dictate what kind.
For your father to imply that you
will never get or be able to hold a
permanent job is wrong and unfair
to you, and I urge you not to fall into
that kind of self-fulfilling rut. You can
hold a job and pursue your art and
filmmaking on your own time, al-
though your success may take longer
than you would otherwise like. Many
others have done it, and so can you.
For inspiration, talk to your mothers
side of the family.
Dear Abby: I live in a different state
from the one where I grew up. Twice
a week I call my elderly parents to
touch base. While I enjoy speaking
with Dad, my mother turns these
calls into a trial.
Conversations with her are one-
sided. She rarely asks me how Im
doing, and when I tell her things,
she ignores or quickly glosses over
my news and redirects the subject to
herself. She rambles on about trivial
events in her life, barely acknowledg-
ing me on the other end of the line.
Some days I am patient and toler-
ate it. On others, my fuse is shorter
and I ask her to focus more on con-
versing with me, which offends her,
and she accuses me of being rude.
I am an interesting, successful man
who is frustrated my mother cant
connect with me more meaningfully. I
dont see my parents often and would
like to be part of their lives. Mom
is not by nature a generous person,
but the telephone seems to magnify
her self-absorption. Do you have any
thoughts on how to handle her?
Listening But Not Heard
Dear Listening: Yes. It appears that
you are seeking validation from your
mother that you may have never re-
ceived from her. Its regrettable, but
at her stage of life, you are not going
to change her. She may be rambling
because few people are willing to
tolerate her self-centeredness. On the
days you are feeling more patient,
let her ramble on; on those that you
dont feel that way, keep the conversa-
tion upbeat but brief.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Aspiring artist can achieve his dream but first must find a steady job
To receive a collection of Abbys most memo-
rable and most frequently requested po-
ems and essays, send a business-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 Mor-
ris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). People
dont like to think about it or
admit that its going on, but
within every relationship, there
is a tally, and everyone involved
knows the score. Someone owes
you in a subtle way.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Build
some accountability into your
plans. Youll have a greater
sense of purpose if you know
you will have to report your
progress to another person. You
wont feel that youre alone in
your ambitions.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Youll
shine in the spotlight, so go
where youre likely to get the
chance to present your case or
talk about your cause. If you
have a shot at showing off your
knowledge, all the better.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You
will be swimming with the sharks
again, so get prepared. Dont
think out loud. Answer the tough
questions decisively, or youll risk
being dismissed as wishy-washy.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Lay your
cards on the table. After all, you
cant help what you were dealt.
Right now its better to err on
the side of full disclosure rather
than being accused of withhold-
ing information.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are
not easily manipulated, and yet
when theres a part of you that
needs or wants something, a
mere suggestion is all it takes to
convince you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You read
the signs but that doesnt mean
you have to follow them. The
signs were placed just to get you
to the conventional route, which
is not the only way.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Every
culture has an indigenous lan-
guage and jargon. If you are
going to live in that world suc-
cessfully, you have to get com-
fortable with the language. Its
not an option, its a must-do.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You dont have to be told to
think positively because its your
natural inclination. Even when
people seem to be disappointing
you, you reserve a small window
of faith and hope that they will
prove you wrong.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
People need to know you exist.
Take up as much space as possi-
ble. Walk the parameters of your
territory. Gesture broadly. Make
waves in the air around you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
have this way of disarming peo-
ple, and it will be most effective.
Youll ask personal questions,
and the tilt of your head will get
the object of your affection to
open up.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Use
your time at a leisurely pace,
especially when its your turn to
take the floor. When you relax,
your audience will relax. Theres
really no rush to get to the point.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (May 5). You
will establish communication
lines with important people and
move your life in the direction
of your dreams. Youll have zero
expectations for family life. June
and your loved ones will make
you proud anyhow. In July, youll
work for the sheer enjoyment of
it and make a killing. In August,
youll have a cheerleader. Aries
and Libra adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 30, 24, 1, 2 and 28.

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