WILKES-BARRE Tax-free re-
turns fromatrust connectedtonat-
ural gas drilling on land owned by
LouisDeNapleswasoneof thefalse
promises made to investors by at-
torney Anthony Lupas Jr., accord-
ing to a court documents filed Fri-
day.
There was no drilling under way
and the land in Bear Creek Town-
ship where it was supposed to oc-
cur was ownedbyLuzerne County,
not the Dun-
more business-
man, as Lupas
claimed, the
documents said.
Attorney Er-
nest Preate Jr.
made the revela-
tions in the pa-
perwork filed on
behalf of five people who sued Lu-
pas alleging they were defrauded
by him in the investment scheme
costing them their life savings.
Others have sued the 77-year-old
Lupas over similar losses and with
the charge of mail fraudfiledinfed-
eral court, the civil and criminal
cases have begun to uncover the
scope of the scheme dating back
years and involving millions of dol-
lars invested by clients and close
friends of the prominent attorney.
Defendant Lupas Jr. was freely
using Louis DeNaples name to en-
ticepeopletoinvest inasecret fund
tobackDeNaples gas drillingoper-
ations, according to the filing by
Preate. He said earlier this month
he contacted DeNaples, who told
himhetransferredall his interest in
the land in question before 2004
and was unaware Lupas collected
money using his name.
According to Preates filing, Lu-
pas provided a trust agreement to
investors stating they would be
able to withdraw their $50,000 in-
vestment and receive 7 percent in-
terest if gasoroil wasdiscoveredon
the land by Dec. 10, 2010. Lupas
owned hundreds of acres of land
next to the property in question.
This was a fraudulent induce-
ment on the part of Defendant

ticket lines swelled as Ameri-
cans wagered nearly $1.5 billion
on the longest of long shots: a
less than 1 percent chance to
join the 1 percent Friday night
as the winner of a record $640
million Mega Millions jackpot.
A caf worker in Arizona re-
ported selling $2,600 worth of
tickets to one buyer, while a re-
tired soldier in Wisconsin dou-
bled his regular weekly ticket
spending to $55. But each
would have to put down mil-
lions more to guarantee win-
ning what could be the biggest
single lotto payout in the world.
I feel like a fool throwing
that kind of money away, said
Jesse Carter, who spent the $55
and donated the last two tickets
he bought at a Milwaukee store
Friday to a charity. But its a
chance you take in life, with
anything you do.
The jackpot, if taken as a
$462 million lump sum and af-
ter federal tax withholding,
works out to about $347 mil-
lion. With the jackpot odds at 1
in 176 million, it would cost
$176 million to buy up every
combination. Under that scena-
rio, the strategy would win $171
million less if your state also
withholds taxes.

munications and marketing for

WASHINGTON President
BarackObama saidFridayhe was
plowing ahead with potential
sanctions against countries that
keep buying oil fromIran, includ-
ing allies of the
United States,
in a deepening
campaign to
starve Iran of
money for its
disputed nucle-
ar program.
The world oil
market is tight
but deep
enough to keep
the squeeze on
Iran, Obama
ruled.
The sanc-
tions aimto fur-
ther isolate
Irans central bank, which proc-
esses nearly all of the Irans oil
purchases, fromtheglobal econo-
my. Obamas move clears the way
for the U.S. to penalize foreign fi-
nancial institutions that do oil
business with Iran by barring
themfromhaving a U.S.-based af-
filiate or doing business here.
Obamas goal is to tighten the
pressure on Iran, not allies, and
already the administration ex-
empted10EuropeanUnioncoun-
tries and Japan fromthe threat of
sanctions because they cut their
oil purchases from Iran. Other

Respondingtopublic concern

known as pink slime in pur-
chasedbeef products local and
regional supermarket chains
have joined their national coun-
terparts in discontinuing pur-
chases of beef containing the ad-

statistics, prior to the recent
public outcry, up to 70 percent
of all freshgroundbeef products
contained the filler, which did

at a downtown Washington,
D.C., liquor store Friday.
But Horsley, who said she
wont buy a lottery ticket unless
the jackpot tops $100 million,
remained realistic.
I dont actually think Im go-
ing to win, and I dont believe in
superstitions or numbers or
anything like that, she said. I
just figured its right around the
corner. Id be crazy not at least
to give it a shot.
Thousands of players who
converged on convenience
stores in 42 states and Washing-
ton, D.C., where Mega Millions
tickets are sold agreed.
Kelly Cripe, a spokeswoman
for the Texas Lottery Commis-
sion, said that as of Tuesday,
nationwide sales for the Mega
Millions drawing totaled more
than $839 million.
Officials projected an addi-
tional $618.5 million in sales
ahead of Fridays drawing, how-
ever, for a projected total sales
figure of more than $1.46 bil-
lion.
This is unprecedented,
Cripe said Friday by e-mail.
Some Indiana players man-
aged to get freebies, as Hoosier
Lottery officials gave away one
free Mega Millions ticket to
each of the first 540 players at
several outlets around the state
Friday a plan announced be-
fore the jackpot grew by $100
million.
In Indianapolis, college stu-
dent Chris Stewart said he
showed up at the lotterys head-
quarters at 6:30 a.m. to be first
in a line.
Ive never seen a jackpot like
this before, said Stewart, who
bought five additional tickets.
If I won I mean, wow! I just
dont know what Id do. Id real-
ly have to think what I could do
with it.
The lines were out the door
at Rosies Den cafe in the rural
northwestern Arizona commu-
nity of White Hills, 72 miles
southeast of Las Vegas and one
of the closest points to Nevada
which doesnt offer Mega
Millions for buyers to get in
the game.
Rosies worker Christine Mil-
lim said its been nonstop for
four days.
In one step I sold $2,600
worth so, that was one person,

KINGSTON The streets of
Paris came alive on Friday at
Wyoming Seminarys 39th An-
nual Live Auction to benefit the
schools general fund.
The yearly fundraiser auctions
off donated gifts and services to
raise money to fulfill the wish-
list of current faculty members
at the schools Upper and Lower
school campuses.
This years Parisian-themed
event featured a French-inspired
dinner and an open bar provided
by the Westmoreland Club and
met with the approval of the 200
guests who paid $50 per person
for the privilege of bidding on
an eclectic array of items, in-
cluding jewelry, original artwork
and prints, gourmet baked
goods, autographed sports
memorabilia, as well as a cre-
ative project from each of the
schools classrooms.
The faculty wish list usually
consists of materials and spe-
cialty programs to enhance the
in-class educational experience
for Wyoming Seminary stu-
dents.
According to event co-chair-
women Rosemary Chromey and
Maureen Conyngham, past wish
list items included iPods, smart
boards and laptop computers.
We put together a wonderful
auction committee, said Chro-
mey. We all worked together to
solicit donations and organize
this amazing evening.
School officials said the mon-
ey raised from Fridays auction
would be divided equally be-
tween Seminarys Upper and
Lower campuses.
We are truly a community,
said Lois Feivus, who heads
Seminarys pre-school program.
The parents are jewels and the
school is enormously generous
and enormously attentive to our
needs.
Feivus said she was actually
planning to bid on and purchase
a sale item in an effort to give
back to the school.
Everything comes full circle,
said Feivus, whose two children
are Seminary alums. I couldnt
be more proud of this school.

Snow possible in region
S
ome areas of Northeastern Penn-
sylvania may see 2 to 4 inches of
snow by daybreak today.
The National Weather Service in
Binghamton, N.Y., said the higher
elevations may see accumulating snow-
fall while the valleys and low lying
areas may see none or very little snow.
A storm system moving across the
region Friday and early this morning
will bring rain that may change over to
snow across the mountains.
Snowfall may seem odd considering
there were 21 days in March with high
temperatures above 50 degrees.
According to weather records, the
average high temperature for March is
36.5 degrees.
The average high for March 2012 has
been 49.3 degrees, 12.8 degrees above
normal, making this March the war-
mest on record.

For the second summer in a row, the
Wilkes-Barre Family YMCA, in part-
nership with the Commission on Eco-
nomic Opportunity and the city of
Wilkes-Barre, is offering the Food-n-
Fun at the Park program.
In 2011, the program provided nearly
7,000 free and nutritious lunches to
more than 200 children daily at 21 sites
throughout the city, thanks to a
$20,000 grant from YMCA of the USA
and Walmart in order to feed more
children across the country through
the national Summer Food Service
Program.
The USDA states 19.5 million low-
income children receive free or re-
duced-cost meals during the school
year, including more than 70 percent of
children in the Wilkes-Barre area. This
year, the program will begin June 11
and end Aug. 17. It will be offered Mon-
day through Friday from10 a.m. to 2
p.m. at Huber Park, Coal Street Park,

WILKES-BARRE State officials are
expecting a full report fromthe operator
of a natural gas compressor station in
Susquehanna County regarding an ex-
plosion there on Thursday.
The Pennsylvania Department of En-
vironmental Protection along with Wil-
liams Energy has begun an extensive in-
vestigation extensive into what
caused the explosion at the Lathrop
Compressor Station, Colleen Connolly,
regional spokeswoman for DEP said at a
press conference at the Northeast re-
gional office on Public Square.
Connolly said a pre-
liminary investigation
indicates there was a
small natural gas leak
fromone of the natural
gas lines inside of the
building.
Immediately the
alarms went off inside
the building and the
building itself and the
workers went into
evacuation mode,
meaning they got out
as soon as possible.
Emergency shut-off
valves immediately
activated and the gas
was stopped, shut off,
and everyone got out
safely, Connolly said.
Preliminary reports also indicate a
spark in the building ignited the explo-
sion and led to the fire. What caused
that spark, we dont know. Were looking
into that, Connolly said.
It was no more than a fewminutes be-
tween the time the alarm went off and
the explosion occurred, Connolly said.
The fire was contained and the building
sustained extensive damage.
The compressor station is shut
down, meaning no gas is moving
through that line and no gas will move
through that line until Williams Ener-
gy gives us a report (and) we determine
if and when its safe to go back online,
Connolly said.
DEPhas askedWilliams toconduct its
own investigation and issue a report on
what happened before the explosion
what was goingoninside the plant, what
workers were doing at the time, if the
lines were operating properly, how
much gas was moving through the lines,
if any equipment was malfunctioning
andif anythingwas wrongwiththelines,
Connolly said.
We want toknowfromWilliams what
happened in the minutes and hours pre-
cedingthis explosion. Thats themode
were in now, investigating how it hap-
pened, what Williams was doingat the
time of this explosion. Well look into
whether or not they were operating un-
der the regulations of their air quality
permit from DEP, she said.
The permit, which DEP renewed in
February 2011, allows Williams to oper-
ate seven compressors at the station,
whichis near Springville. There were six
compressor engines on-line at the time
of the explosion, she said.
Williams has at least one permit re-
quest for another natural gas compres-
sor station with DEP. Well look into
howthis incident affects future requests
by them to operate more compressor
stations, Connolly said.

ton man guilty of committing first-de-
gree murder.
Rodolfo Hiraldo Perez, 25, was con-
victed of the charge and criminal con-
spiracy to commit criminal homicide
by a jury of seven men and five women.
Prosecutors say Perez and Angel
Sanchez, 21, killedVladimir Ruiz, 21, in
a fight outside a Hazleton tavern in Ja-
nuary 2011.
Perez testified Thursday he was in-
toxicated and didnt knowwhat he was
doing when he stabbed Ruiz in the
heart.
Perez will be sentenced on May 29
by Judge David Lupas, a formality
since the charge carries a mandatory
sentence of life in prison.

Safety modifications were made
to a short stretch of the road in Ash-
ley after a May 2009 fatal crash in
front of the Bentleys restaurant and
banquet facility.
We have a large volume of our
accidents on that stretch of road-
way, Hanover Township Police
Chief Al Walker said. Its a combi-
nation of a couple of things. The
grade is very steep and the difficulty
of going up and down through the
mountain with the twists and turns,
weather variations can change the
road surface at any time and driver-
related problems with speed and al-
cohol use.
According to the Pennsylvania
Department of Transportations In-
ternet Traffic Monitoring System,
an average of 19,400 vehicles and
900 trucks travel daily on Route 309
between Mountain Top and Ashley.
Archives from The Times Leader
indicate five people have died in
crashes on the same stretch of road-
way since May 2009. There have al-
so been many crashes resulting in
serious injuries, including a Novem-
ber 2011 seven-car crash that was
blamed on a deer running across the
road.
Walker said his police force has
stepped up speed enforcement pa-
trols in recent weeks, issuing dozens
of citations on Route 309.
Were not up there for a lot of
service calls due to the low number
of individuals in that area, Walker
said. Its not practical for us to be
up there all the time when a major-
ity of our calls are in the residential
neighborhoods.
The speed limit for that section of
Route 309 in both directions is 45
mph.
After a man died in a fiery crash in
front of Bentleys in May 2009,
PennDOT installed a series of rum-
ble strips across a 500-foot segment
of the left-hand, northbound lane,
and several new signs advising mo-
torists to watch their speed.

HARRISBURG Prose-
cutors on Friday filed a docu-
ment listing 33 statements
made by two Penn State ad-
ministrators to support the
perjury charges against the
men, accused of lying to a
grand jury investigating
child sex abuse allegations
against a former assistant
football coach.
A second document de-
fended the case and said a
judge should not dismiss the
charges.
The statements laidout by
the state Attorney Generals
Office are fromJanuary 2011,
when athletic director Tim
Curley and former vice presi-
dent Gary Schultz appeared
before a secret grand jury in-
vestigating Jerry Sandusky.
Their lawyers spokeswo-
man, Martine Charles, of-
fered no immediate com-
ment about thefilings, which
The Associated Press ob-
tained late Friday.
Many of the statements
downplay the seriousness of
a report Curley and Schultz
fielded from graduate assist-
ant Mike McQueary, who
said he saw Sandusky in the
football team shower with a
boy a decade ago.
Curley, 57, is quoted say-
ing the report by McQueary
was not sexual in nature,
while Schultz, 62, is quoted
saying he was not told any-
thing more serious than per-
haps that Sandusky grabbed
the boys genitals.
Prosecutors wrote, in an
answer to defense attorneys
motion for more detail about
the allegations, that the state
identifies these statements
with the understanding that
any or all of these statements
will support the charge of
perjury, and that it is not re-
quired to prove the falsity of
every identified statement.
Curley, now on leave from
the university, and Schultz,
who has retired, were
charged in November with
perjury and failure to proper-
ly report suspected child
abuse. They have denied the
allegations and have asked a
Dauphin County judge to
throw out the charges.
Sandusky, 68, awaits trial
on dozens of child sexual
abuse charges involving 10
boys over a 15-year period.
He has denied the allega-
tions and is on house arrest
awaiting trial in early June.
Prosecutors said Joe Pa-
ternos testimony was prop-
erly allowed as evidence in
December.

Military to evaluate Bales
T
he attorney for the soldier accused
of killing 17 Afghan civilians says
the military is planning to conduct a
comprehensive mental health eval-
uation of his client.
John Henry Browne said at a Friday
news conference that officials would
likely travel to the military prison at
Fort Leavenworth, Kan., to conduct the
assessment of his client, Staff Sgt.
Robert Bales.
Bales has been charged with 17
counts of premeditated murder. The
military says he left his base in south-
ern Afghanistan and went on a shoot-
ing rampage through two villages on
March 11.
TREXLERTOWN
An act of deep devotion
A Pennsylvania man who had recent-
ly written in The New York Times
about his love for his Alzheimers-
stricken wife killed her and himself in
what their family called an act of deep
devotion.
The bodies of Charles Snelling and
his wife, Adrienne, both 81, were found
Thursday in their home in Trexlertown
in eastern Pennsylvania.
The coroner said Charles Snelling
shot himself; autopsy results on his
wife were pending.
Charles Snelling, prominent in local
political circles, responded late last
year to a call from Times columnist
David Brooks for people older than 70
to evaluate accomplishments and les-
sons in their lives.
In an essay published online in De-
cember, Snelling looked back on the
turn his prosperous and happy life had
taken, mixing memories of the young
woman he fell in love with at first sight
with the challenge of caring for some-
one with dementia.
VALLEY FORGE, PA.
Newest casino ready to roll
Pennsylvanias 11th casino has re-
ceived final approval from state gam-
bling regulators.
The $150 million Valley Forge Casino
Resort was scheduled to open for busi-
ness early today at a conference center
just outside Valley Forge National His-
torical Park. The Pennsylvania Gaming
Control Board gave the casino the final
signoff after two test nights, board
spokesman Doug Harbach said Friday.
Valley Forge is the first of the smaller
resort casinos laid out in the 2004
law that legalized gambling in Penn-
sylvania. It will have 600 slot machines
and 50 table games. The casino itself
will be more selective, with gambling
restricted to people attending a con-
vention, meeting or private function
there; people who spend a minimum of
$10 in one of the resorts dining, night-
life or retail outlets; or anyone who
purchases a resort membership.

When he was shot, Trayvon
Martin was not the baby-faced
boy in the photo that has been
on front pages across the coun-
try. And George Zimmerman
wasnt the beefy-looking figure
in the widely published mug-
shot.
Both photos are a few years
old and no longer entirely accu-
rate. Yet they may have helped
shape initial public perceptions
of the deadly shooting.
When you have such a lop-
sided visual comparison, it just
stands to reason that people
would rush to judgment, said
Kenny Irby, who teaches visual
journalismat the Poynter Insti-
tute, a journalismthink tank in
St. Petersburg, Fla.
The most widely seen pic-
ture of Martin, released by his
family, was evidently taken a
fewyears ago and shows a smil-
ing, round-cheeked youngster
in a red T-shirt. But at his
death, Martin was 17 years old,
around 6 feet tall and, accord-
ing to his familys attorney,
about 140 pounds.
Zimmerman, 28, is best
known from a 7-year-old book-
ing photo of an apparently
heavyset figure with an impos-
ing stare, pierced ear and facial
hair, the orange collar of his jail
uniform visible. The picture,
released by police following
the deadly shooting, was taken
after Zimmermans 2005 arrest
on an assault-on-an-officer
charge that was eventually
dropped.
In a police video made public
this week of Zimmerman being
brought in for questioning a
half-hour after the shooting,
the 5-foot-9 man appears much
slimmer.
In a case that has caused a
nationwide furor over race and
the laws of self-defense, Martin
was shot to death by Zimmer-
man in the city of Sanford on
Feb. 26 as the unarmed black
teenager was walking back
from a convenience store.
Zimmerman, a neighbor-
hood watch volunteer whose
father is white and whose
mother is Hispanic, has
claimed self-defense, saying he
opened fire after Martin
punched him in the face,
knocked himto the ground and
began slamming his head on
the sidewalk.
Black leaders and others are
demanding Zimmermans ar-
rest on murder or manslaugh-
ter charges, but state and feder-
al authorities are still investi-
gating.
A more complex portrait of
the two figures has emerged
since then. A photo of a beam-
ing Zimmerman looking sharp
ina jacket andtie has come out,
along with a more recent pic-
ture of Martin, with gold teeth
and a white sleeveless under-
shirt.
At the same time, it was
learned that Martin had been
suspended from school for
marijuana residue in his back-
pack.

ISLAMABAD Osama bin
Laden lived in five safe houses
while on the run in Pakistan and
fathered four children two of
them born in government hospi-
tals, his youngest widowhas told
investigators.
The details of bin Ladens life
as a fugitive in Pakistan are con-
tained in the interrogation report
of Amal Ahmed Abdel-Fatah al-
Sada, bin Ladens 30-year-old Ye-
meni widow. They appear to
raise fresh questions over how
bin Laden was able to remain un-
detected for so long in Pakistan
after the Sept.
11, 2001attacks,
despite being
the subject of a
massive inter-
national man-
hunt.
Details from
the report were
first published
bythePakistani
newspaper
Dawn.
The Associ-
atedPress obtaineda copy onFri-
day.
Al-Sada is currently in Pakista-
ni custody, along with bin La-
dens two other wives and several
children. They were arrested af-
ter the U.S raid that killed bin La-
den in May in his final hideout in
the Pakistani army town of Ab-
bottabad. The U.S. Navy SEALs
shot her in the leg during the op-
eration.
Mohammed Amir Khalil, a
lawyer for the three widows, said
the women would be formally
chargedfor illegallystayinginPa-
kistan on April 2. Since the raid
that killed bin Laden, it has been
known that he lived mostly in Pa-
kistan since 2002.

WASHINGTONRep. Paul Ryan, the
powerful chairman of the House Budget
Committee, is endorsing Mitt Romney
for the Republican presidential nomina-
tion.
There had been speculation the Wis-
consin Republican would fall into the
Romney column, and Ryan did so Friday
morning in an interview on Fox News
Channels Fox and Friends.
Ryan says Romney is best suited to
beat President Barack Obama.
He also says that Romney has emerged
as the candidate most
deserving of the GOP
rank and files backing.
Ryan tells Fox hes con-
vinced that Romney
has the skills, the te-
nacity and the courage
to lead the party in the
race against Obama
this fall.
He also says hes convinced that if we
drag this thing on through summer, its
going to be harder to turn Obama out of
office.
Rick Santorum says Republicans
wont win the presidency by picking a
candidate who jokes about firing people.
Santorum was talking about rival Mitt
Romney, who joked earlier this week
about his father, the former chairman of
AmericanMotors, closingafactoryinMi-
chigan and moving production to Wis-
consin.
Santorum suggested Friday that the
quip is more evidence that Romney
doesnt understandthestruggles of work-
ing people.
The former Pennsylvania senator was
campaigning in Wisconsin for the states
primary next week.
Newt Gingrich is acknowledging
what has become increasingly clear: Mitt
Romney is the likely nominee.
The former House speaker told Mil-

ship that sank after being

down on its first voyage, which
began April 10, 1912, with more
than 2,000 passengers and
crew from the southern En-

bound for New York.
Five days later, she lay at the

Lupas Jr. since Louis DeNaples
did not personally own the prop-
erty, the filing said.
Theta Land Corp., one of the
DeNaples companies, ownedthe
property on Penobscot Moun-
tain. The land was transferred
The Conservation Fund, a non-
profit corporation, and again
transferred to Luzerne County in
June 2004, the filing said.
Preate asked for a special order
fromthe court to publish the law-
suits filedby FrankandMary Lou
Pisano, John F. Pisano and Jo-
seph and Barbara De Santo in
newspapers because Lupas has
been avoiding attempts to accept
notice of the suits.
Without theservicePreatesaid
he is unable to begin the discov-
ery process and gather informa-
tion from Lupas and his family,
his son David, who is a Luzerne
County judge, and Gino Bartoli,
an alleged partner in a Bear
Creek Township property where
windturbines, ownedandoperat-
ed by Florida Power and Light
Co., are located.
Preate and Lupas met briefly
Thursday after Lupas was
charged in U.S. District Court,
Scranton, andplacedonhousear-
rest, but Preate could not serve
papers on Lupas in the federal
courthouse.
A hearing on Preates request
has been scheduled for 2 p.m.
Thursday in Luzerne County
Court and an out-of-town judge
will hear the matter.
The entire 10-member county
bench recused itself from all
matters that would involve Mr.
Lupas as a party, said county
President Judge Thomas Burke.
The court took the initiative
on its own part to notify the (Ad-
ministrative Office of Pennsylva-
nia Courts) of a bench recusal,
said Burke.
Based on the courts request,
Senior Judge Charles Brown of
Centre County was assigned to
handle Preates filing, Burke add-
ed.
Late Friday afternoon Preate
said the hearing might not be
necessary because the county
Sheriffs Department will try
again Monday to serve Lupas
with the papers at the apartment
in Plains Township, where he is
confined under the terms of his
release for the criminal charge.

New Alexander St. was at work
when the fire broke out, but others
who were home made it out safely.
She was too distraught to provide
additional information.
Edna Vivian, an emergency re-
sponder for the American Red Cross
who was on-scene, said the agency
would provide shelter for the family
WILKES-BARRE -- At least four
people were left homeless after a fire
broke out in their New Alexander
Street home Friday afternoon.
Wilkes-Barre Assistant Fire Chief
Thomas Makar said flames were
shooting out the windows of the sec-
ond floor of 184 New Alexander St.
when fire crews arrived on the
scene. It took firefighters about 40
minutes to get control of the blaze,
which was called in at 4:36 p.m.
The rear of the second floor of 184
New Alexander St. sustained heavy
fire and smoke damage; the other
side of the two-story duplex -- 186
New Alexander St. -- sustained
smoke damage, Makar said.
Makar said all on-duty firefighters
responded and he called in an addi-
tional eight to 10 as a Rapid Inter-
vention Team and for additional
manpower.
Awomanwho saidshe lives at 184
if they were unable to stay with
friends or relatives.
Makar said the cause of the fire is
under investigation. He said it was
yet to be determined if the residents
of 186 Alexander St., which sus-
tained smoke damage, would be al-
lowedto returnto their home onFri-
day.

WILKES-BARRE A Har-
risburg man who pleaded
guilty to a robbery charge
stemming from a December
2010 deadly shooting was
sentenced Friday to four to
eight years in state prison.
County Judge Tina Pola-
chek Gartley sentenced Ty-
rek Smith, 25. He pleaded
guilty to the charge in De-
cember.
Smith was charged along
with his cousins Isiah and
Izel Garrett ina case inwhich
prosecutors say Abdul Sha-
bazz, 30, of Hazleton, was
shot and killed in a drug deal
gone bad.
The Garretts handed over
counterfeit money, prosecu-
tors say, inexchangefor mari-
juana inside their fathers
West Hazleton apartment.
When Shabazz realized the
money was fake, police said,
Izel Garrett fired a .38-caliber
handgun, killing Shabazz.
The brothers are currently
appealing two consecutive
life sentences each in Sha-
bazzs death. They were con-
victed of second-degree mur-
der and other charges in De-
cember after a jury trial.
Smiths attorney, Royce
Morris, said Friday his cli-
ents remorse shows through
the cooperation he has of-
fered investigators and that
his client made a poor choice
in deciding to hang out with
his cousins.
Two very dangerous indi-
viduals are off the streets be-
cause of (Smiths) coopera-
tion, Morris said.
Prosecutors say Isiah Gar-
rett had been charged with
homicide in a November
2010 incident in which police
say he and two other men
shot and killed a Harrisburg
Area Community College
student during a robbery. He
was arrested for the Harris-
burg area shooting while in
custody for the West Hazle-
ton murder.
State police Trooper James
Surmick said Friday it is rare
that he comes to know a de-
fendant as well as he has
come to know Smith, and
even more rare that he decid-
edto speak onSmiths behalf.
Surmick asked Polachek
Gartley to consider leniency,
telling the judge Smith is
well-spoken, intelligent and
that they share many inter-
ests.
The longtime trooper said
Smith is not the street thug
his two cousins are and that
he believes Smith learned his
lesson.
This incident saved
(Smiths) life, Surmick said.
Otherwise, he would have
ended up dead.
Assistant District Attorney
Frank McCabe said the Gar-
retts lead Smith into a situa-
tion he otherwise would not
have been in and he believes
that Smith never imagined
Shabazz would end up dead.
You can choose your
friends, but you cant choose
your family, McCabe said.

Tyrek Smith, 25, pleaded
guilty to charge stemming

PLAINS TWP. A preliminary
hearing was continued Friday for
Jerayme Johnson, whois accused
of shooting another maninanact
of retaliation involving rival gang
members.
Thomas Tonic, 19, who was
shot in the face outside a night-
club at the Woodlands Inn & Re-
sort in June 2010, did not appear
for the proceedingbefore District
Judge Diana Malast.
Malast continued the hearing
until May 7, giving police five
weeks to find Tonic.
Prosecutors may ask a Luzerne
County judge to classify Tonic, if
he is found, as a material witness
that would include bail and pos-
sible incarceration.
Johnson remains at the county
prison for lack of $500,000 bail.
An arrest warrant was issued
for Johnson in September 2010,
charging him with criminal at-
tempt to commit homicide, per-
sons not topossess a firearm, fire-
arm not to be carried without a
license and two counts of aggra-
vated assault. He was arrested in
New Jersey in January.
Johnson is a member of the
Bloods street gang, and Tonic as-
sociated himself with the Crips
street gang, police said.
According to the criminal com-
plaint:
Chapelle Jones told police she
was at the club with Nia Smoth-
ers, Mercedes Smothers and
three other women whom she
felt were upset because there
were Crip gang members disre-
specting them.
During the course of the night,
Nia Smothers and Mercedes
Smothers were texting their boy-
friends, Errol Holmes and John-
son, respectively, about what was
happening in the club.
The women claimed Tonic was
throwing up hand signs of a gun
while on the dance floor, the
complaint says.
Johnson, Holmes and another
mantooka taxi tothe clubtocon-
front Tonic for harassing their
girlfriends.
Police said surveillance foot-
age showed Tonic and a woman
leaving the club. The woman
pushed away and ran back into
the club when Johnson ap-
proached Tonic, shooting him in
the face.
Tonic identifiedJohnsonas the
person who shot him but refused
to sign Johnsons photo when a
photo array of eight similar-look-
ing people was shown to him.
Holmes was not charged in the
shooting.
Hearing continued for man accused in alleged gang shooting outside Plains Township nightclub

Excluding Fragrance
WILKES-BARRE About two
dozen Wilkes University stu-
dents spent hours throughout
February collecting canned
goods and selling paper hearts to
raise money to help the hungry.
The result of their hard work -- a
shipment of more than 2 tons of
food -- was delivered to the Salva-
tion Army on Friday.
Case after case of Shurfine
canned vegetables were unload-
ed from a Schiels delivery truck
as smiling Salvation Army em-
ployees looked on.
Cecilia Golightly, an adminis-
trative assistant at the facility,
said the need is certainly there
for the food.
In todays economy, people
need the help. This is going to be
a fantastic help, she said.
Though the shelves in the stor-
age garage werent empty, they
were pretty bare. Thats been a
trend in recent years as more
people need help and more orga-
nizations are inundated with re-
quests and struggle to keep up
with the need.
Theres been many times
when the shelves have been
bare, Golightly said. Its been
rough.
But the 5,000 pounds of food
received Friday, coupled with the
1,500 pounds delivered previous-
ly by students on the Wilkes Stu-
dents in Free Enterprise team,
will ensure those shelves stay
stocked at least through Easter.
Students who participated,
many of them who hail from out-
side the Wyoming Valley, said
they felt it was the community-
minded thing to do to help those
less fortunate.
Tory Price, a Wilkes student
from Berwick, said students un-
derstand there are people out
there in much greater need than
us and integrating Wilkes into
the greater Wilkes-Barre com-
munity seemed like a worthy en-
deavor.
We let the students and the
community know we can all
make a difference, said Domin-
ick Manzioni of Honesdale. He
said the support was so inspiring
that the team decided it would
likely continue the project next
year.
Golightly said the students ef-
forts show that there are people
that still care in the world.
The fund and food raisers were
done as part of the nationwide
Lets Can Hunger Campaign in-
volving Students in Free Enter-
prise teams at colleges and uni-
versities across the country.
Each team was charged with
raising a minimum of $5,000 or
5,000 pounds of food to donate
to a local shelter under the goal
of providing urgent hunger relief.
The Wilkes students exceeded
this goal by collecting canned
goods and raising money
through their own initiative, the
Hearts for Hunger campaign.
They sold Hearts for Hunger
cardsa for $1 on the Wilkes cam-
pus and partnered with Schiels
to sell them in the Hanover
Street food store. The team
raised more than $1,000, which
was used to purchase additional
food. Schiels also donated 20
cases of canned goods to the pro-
ject.
ANDREW M. SEDER/FOR THE TIMES LEADER
The area Salvation Army food assistance program gets a big boost as crates of Shurfine canned
food are unloaded. Wilkes University students spearheaded the drive, helped by Schiels Market.
When carings on the menu
Wilkes students and area
business help the Salvation
Army feed the needy.

In a big win for PPL Electric
Utilities, the National Park Ser-
vice has given support to the
companys proposal for a high-
voltage power line cutting
through Delaware Water Gap, a
project opposedbysomeenviron-
mentalists.
The park service on Thursday
identified the route proposed by
PPL and its New Jersey partner
as a preferred alternative in its
environmental review of the pro-
ject. The distinctiondoes not rep-
resent final approval -- a decision
is expected this fall -- but it shows
the agency siding with PPL over
objections of environmentalists.
The park service has jurisdic-
tion over part of the project that
would pass through Delaware
Water Gap, a national recreation
area.
At issue is a proposed145-mile
transmission line fromPPLs Sus-
quehanna nuclear power plant in
Salem Township, Luzerne Coun-
ty, to the Roseland substation
near Newark, N.J. The $1.2 bil-
lion project is a partnership be-
tweenPPLandNewJerseyutility
PSE&G.
The utilities maintain the line
is needed to prevent power out-
ages during peak demand peri-
ods and that the proposed route
is preferable since most of it is
along existing power line routes.
Denying its passage through De-
laware Water Gap would force
them to cut through other com-
munities and habitats, they said.
We commend the National
ParkServicefor its verythorough
review, and for concluding that
our proposed route provides the
most appropriate balance of
meeting societys energy needs
while minimizing impacts to fed-
eral lands, Gregory Dudkin,
president of PPL Electric Utili-
ties, and Ralph LaRossa, presi-
dent and chief operating officer
of PSE&G, said in a joint state-
ment.
Environmental groups have
maintained conservation and al-
ternative power sources such as
wind and solar energy should be
used to meet NewJerseys power
needs, rather than a new power
line that they say will destroy sce-
nic views and natural areas.
This is a shameful day in the
long history of our parks andmay
set precedent for more gas and
power lines through our parks,
said Jeff Tittel, director of the
NewJersey Sierra Club. This de-
cision is an insult to the more
than 5 million people that visit
the Water Gap every year.
Utilityregulators inbothstates
favor the project. And the pro-
posedline got a blessing fromthe
federal government last year
when the Obama administration
added the project to a list of pow-
er-grid upgrades that will get
more rapid reviews because of
their job creation potential. The
line is expected to create 2,000
jobs during construction.
The park service expects to
make a final decision on the pro-
ject by Oct. 1. PPL and PSE&G
hope to have the project complet-
ed by the summer of 2015.

The Morning Call
PHILADELPHIA A bail
hearingwas postponedFriday for
a Luzerne County man accused
of trying to board a cross-country
flight with explosives in his bag.
Joseph Picklo, 29, made a brief
appearance in federal court Fri-
day but his detention hearing
was rescheduled for next Tues-
day.
He will remain in custody in
the meantime, a spokeswoman
for the U.S. Attorneys Office in
Philadelphia said.
Picklo, of Dallas, faces a federal
charge of attempting to carry an
explosive device onto an aircraft,
which prosecutors said carries a
penalty of up to 10 years in pris-
on.
A criminal
complaint
states he was in
possession of
two home-
made M-80s, a
plastic bottle
wrapped in
electrical tape and partially filled
with a powdery mixture, and a
test tube filled with another pow-
dery substance which also in-
cluded a wick when passing
through security around 5:30
a.m. Thursday at Philadelphia In-
ternational Airport as he was
about to board a flight to San
Francisco.
U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobac-
co, Firearms and Explosives
spokesman Steven Bartholomew
said the materials are being sent
to its lab for analysis.
He was stopped when TSA
screeners noticed something un-
usual in the backpack, investiga-
tors said.
Picklo never made it through
security and no one was ever in
danger, police said. According to
investigators, Picklo indicated he
forgot that the items were in his
bag.
A phone listing for Picklo
could not immediately be locat-
ed.
No flights were delayed and
the security checkpoint was reo-
penedanhour later, officials said.
Hearing put off for Dallas man detained in Philly

Were trying to just see how our
part might fit in a little better.

Intermodal Transportation Hub in Wilkes-Barre has
been authorized following the fatal collision of a bus and pedestrian last
September.
Adult Literacy program
yields great benefits
P
ennsylvanias Adult and Family Litera-
cy program proves its value every day,
transforming the work lives of our
citizens who have not been successful in
the education system, or who have emi-
grated from another country. It is not just
an education program; it is also an eco-
nomic development program for the state.
Soon the Legislature will determine how
much to fund it.
Heres an example about a man named
Mike, whose story demonstrates the crit-
ical need to continue the funding of Adult
and Family Literacy:
Like a lot of Pennsylvanians, Mike had a
life that wasnt easy for him educationally.
He never liked reading and, of course,
getting through school without mastering
the basics of reading put him behind the
eight ball.
Mike dropped out of high school after
his junior year because he found a summer
job loading trucks that gave him a lot of
satisfaction. His employer liked him so
much he offered Mike a permanent job at
minimum wage and benefits. Getting that
paycheck meant more to him than fin-
ishing school. Mike was valued in his job,
and it gave him a sense of worth in the
community. He also became one of the
millions of Pennsylvanians older than 25
with no high school diploma or GED.
A few years later Mike got married and
he and his wife had their first child soon
after. He was advancing in responsibility at
work, but when it came to becoming a
supervisor, he knew he would have to
show he had a high school diploma to get
the promotion. Now what?
His boss, who had learned to respect
Mikes positive attitude and hard work,
told him about the GED, the high school
equivalency test. The boss also had the
human resources manager make calls to
find out how Mike could get in the pro-
gram.
You can guess the rest: Mike was highly
motivated, joined a literacy program in
which he was tutored by a trained volun-
teer, took and passed the GED and now
was qualified to advance. In addition, he
overcame his reluctance to face written
material and his embarrassment at not
having finished high school. Not only his
work life but his role in his family and as a
member of the community was enhanced.
How did all this happen? Because Penn-
sylvanias program in Adult and Family
Literacy is there to help provide the skills
needed by so many. Adult and Family
Literacy funding should be kept at least at
the level it was a year ago in the common-
wealth budget.
Lets make sure our legislators realize
that in addition to all the important educa-
tion programs such as universities, com-
munity colleges and K-12, Adult and Fam-
ily Literacy is an absolutely effective pro-
gram that gives adults the opportunity to
realize their full potential as workers, fam-
ily members and assets to their communi-
ties.

K
THE RECENT scandal
involving former Sen. Bob
Mellow has Pennsylvania
citizens outraged, and right-
fully so. Too often we see
elected officials abuse their
power for personal gain, to
the point where it is no longer a surprise, it
is an expectation. These recent charges only
highlight this issue.
While Sen. Mellow was charged with
conspiracy and improper use of taxpayer-
paid staffers, he is not the only politician
using our tax money for personal gain. Peo-
ple are outraged about his $140,000 per year
pension, but all of our so-called public ser-
vants are receiving these absurd pensions
and massive perk packages.
Its time for this to end. Its a matter of
principle and poor representation. This
culture in Harrisburg must change, and it
starts by addressing three specific areas.
Per Diems. Our lawmakers receive a $163
bonus every day just for showing up to
work. This can total up to $20,000 per year
for each legislator.
The money is supposed to be used to pay
for food and lodging, but its often misused.
Many public officials simply accepted full
per diems regardless of their expenditures,
giving self-serving legislators part of their
Walking Around Money and leaving tax-
payers to foot the bill.
Our politicians eat lunch whether theyre
at home or in Harrisburg. We shouldnt be
paying for their meals, period. Some people
in our area wish they could earn $163 a day,
let alone a bonus to supplement their pay.
The whole per diem system must be
scrapped.
Health Care. Our lawmakers receive Ca-
dillac Health Care benefits on taxpayer
money. Although they used to get it free,
legislators allege that they reformed the
system. The truth is they now pay only 1
percent.
I dont consider that reform. Its an ap-
peasement, nothing more than politics be-
ing played with our money and our time.
Increasing your premiums from zero to 1
percent isnt a reform, its an insult. We
expect real reform, not the perception of it.
Automatic pay raises. Lawmakers receive
automatic cost of living adjustments, which
have been used to increase their salaries 75
percent over the last 17 years. With a single
vote in 1995, our public servants ensured
they would never have to hold an open vote
to increase their salary ever again.
No vote means no accountability, and no
accountability means its easier to exploit
the public.
Now lawmakers kick back and relax as
they watch their salaries increase while
seniors see their Social Security rates stay
the same for years. This is another example
of self-service, not public service.
Legislators are voted into office to carry
out the will of the voters. Now I ask: Are you
being properly represented when public
servants pad their pockets with expansive
political perks paid for by you?
Sen. Mellow may have gotten caught for
using legislative staff for personal gain, but
our legislators have been using these perks
for their own benefit for decades.
It may not be illegal, but it certainly is
immoral. It is an issue of principle, and we
must stop these practices. We must hold our
public officials accountable.
This is why I am running for office. Our
district needs a leader who will fight these
outrageous and wasteful legislative perks.
They are an insult to the citizens of our area
and our first goal should be to stand up and
say, We are fed up. Enough is enough.
If elected, I will refuse the per diem, I will
demand our legislators pay more for their
health care plans, and I will fight to repeal
the automatic COLAs. Right now, these
practices show that our politicians do not
answer to the voters the way they should.
The connection between citizen and poli-
tician has gone from clear, to hazy, to non-
existent. This must change and I am here to
tell you that if I am elected, it will.

ome food products are
doomed. Thats the
case with what meat
producers euphemisti-
cally call lean, finely textured
beef. This ammonia-treated
filler left fromother cuts has an
unappetizingnicknamepink
slime.
Even before it became a
householdname that
turnedstomachs, the
pink gelatin-like sub-
stance was already
operating from a
trust deficit with
some members of
the public.
Twenty years ago,
federal regulators
said the fatty additive was safe
for consumption, having been
exposedtoammoniumhydrox-
ide gas to kill E. coli, salmonel-
la and other bacteria. The U.S.
Department of Agriculture and
the FoodandDrug Administra-
tion approved the product for
use as a cheap additive in up to
15percent of a poundof ground
beef.
But food activists began rais-
ing concerns. Unflattering sto-
ries proliferated and pressure
was brought to bear on school
districts that used it under the
federal lunch program and
chain grocery stores that car-
ried it.
Good news came for Pitts-
burghers last week when Giant
Eagle, the largest supermarket
chain in the region, said it will
no longer sell beef with the ad-
ditive. It joined Kroger Co., the
nations largest
traditional grocer,
plus Stop & Shop,
Wal-Mart and oth-
er chains that de-
cided to purge
their shelves of the
product. Some
large grocers -
Whole Foods,
A&P and Costco - never car-
ried pink slime in the first
place, and therefore deserve
certain consumer bragging
rights.
As Americans become more
savvy about food, they are
bound to question more prod-
ucts that were FDA- andUSDA-
approved. Since we are what
we eat, it helps to know more
about the real content of what
goes into our mouths.

Pink slime just
wont cut mustard
This ammonia-
treated filler left
from other cuts
has an unappetiz-
ing nickname
pink slime.
L
ONG-TIME Wilkes-
Barre City residents
probably recall the
rocky road taken in
building what is now the
James F. Conahan Intermodal
Transportation Center. Heres
hoping the Luzerne
County Transporta-
tion Authority can
prevent past frombe-
coming prologue.
A recap for the for-
getful or unknowing:
Then-Mayor Tom
McGroartys appar-
ent failure to tend to
details left the trans-
portation center
barely begun,
marked by the leg-
endary hole in the ground,
source of many jokes and icon
for unfulfilled promises.
After McGroartys depar-
ture, that hole originally in-
tended to be the downtown
movie theater became the in-
ception of the current trans-
portation hub, a modern park-
ing lot and bus terminal.
Skip to September 2011,
when a bus backing up at the
center hit EdwardRehill, 86, as
he walked behind what he like-
ly thought was a parked vehi-
cle. Rehill died of his injuries.
Rehills death raised many
questions about the safety of
the Intermodal Center design,
though anyone who has walk-
ed past the main entrance on
South Washington Street sure-
ly had questions before that.
Vehicle exit and
entrance ramps
are wide and con-
fusing and utterly
uninviting to pe-
destrians travers-
ing the sidewalk.
The Transpor-
tation Authority
boarddecidedthis
week to pay for a
study to suggest
enhancements for
the operations of
the center.
This certainly seems like a
wise albeit belated move in
the aftermath of Septembers
tragedy. Heres hoping it leads
to whatever changes are need-
ed to prevent a recurrence.
And if the study finds sub-
stantial safety flaws in the cen-
ters design, the follow-up is as
obvious as it is necessary.
Figure out how such an ex-
pensive facility could have
been designed and built with-
out more attentiontouser safe-
ty.

They alsoare organizinga community
cleanup of a creek flowing into the river
from 9 to 11 a.m. today.
The recently begun flood cleanup ef-
fort is thefirst groupserviceproject most
members of the10-person teamhave un-
dertaken, but teamleader Patrick Skovi-
ra of Westminster, Md., participated in a
previous 10-month termof service in the
programand aided relief efforts immedi-
ately after the September flood.
Nowthat Ivegonefromseeingthedi-
saster when it was occurring to now, the
aftermath, its unbelievable to see how
much damage a flood can do, Skovira
said. Just howthelandscapecanchange
and the communities can change. Its a
bigshocktoseewhat Mother Naturecan
do, but also to see communities coming
together.
Residents of the surrounding commu-
nity said the town has needed to come
together because they have largely been
left to clean up the mess themselves.
Bob and Jerilyn Shirley live near the
bank of the Susquehanna where the
AmeriCorps workers toiled Friday.
They were fortunate, they said, to
have taken on only 6 inches of water on
their homes first floor in the flood, but
their neighbors were not so lucky. A
home just across the street exploded
when it was struck by a large propane
tankfloatingdowntheriver, andanother
mans house was torn from its founda-
tion and came to a rest in the middle of a
street.
He chopped the house apart piece by
piece, dragged it down to the river and
set it on fire, Jerilyn Shirley said.
Theres just nobody to help.
Willis lives near the creek the group
and community volunteers will clean
this morning.
It was like a whirlpool around here,
andeverythinggot pushedthat way, she
said. So theyre gonna have a field day
with that.
TheAmeriCorps workers saidtheyare
happy to help, and though it can be a te-
dious job, they said the thanks they get
makes it worthwhile.
People always come up to us and say
thank you for the work, so even if we
dont see it when were doing it the after-
effect is good, said 18-year-old Victoria
Mosher of Geneva, N.Y. I like helping
the people, seeing the reaction of how
what were doing is affecting them, even
if its obvious. In subtle ways, its cool.
Some people that we have met, it
took their entire home and flooded their
entire basement, said Emily Goblirsch,
a 24-year-old volunteer from Rochester,
Minn. But it sounds like theyre pretty
positive. Its taken thema while to get to
this point but theyre happy to have the
help and to have made it to this point.
Im glad theyre helping, Jerilyn
Shirley said. You can look at the devas-
tation down there and you can see they
could use hundreds of people.
If theres goingtobe a cleanuptomor-
row, well be there, added her husband,
Bob.
FALLS
Courthouse had been tight the
last two days of the trial, as
threats loomed from those asso-
ciated with the case.
Several Luzerne County depu-
ty sheriffs escorted Perez into
and out of the courthouse, while
others were perched outside the
courthouse with rifles.
Perez, an alleged member of
the Trinitarios gang, testified
Thursday he had been drinking
and doing drugs the night of the
homicide, and he went to the
fight betweenSanchez, alsoanal-
leged Trinitarios member, and
Ruiz where he was asked to
watch Sanchezs back.
Perez, a native of the Domin-
ican Republic, said gunshots
scared him, he was under the in-
fluence of drugs and alcohol and
he didnt know what to do.
Then, I stabbed him once ...
but I didnt know where, Perez
said of the assault on Ruiz. He
said he was too intoxicated to re-
member where he got the knife
or to know where he stabbed
Ruiz. I didnt know it was that
bad. I didnt know what I had
done.
Ruiz, who prosecutors say was
a member of the Bloods gang,
died at the scene from a stab
wound to the heart, a forensic pa-
thologist testified Wednesday.
Surveillancevideoof theincident
shows Sanchez kicking and
punching Ruiz, with Ruiz eventu-
ally down on the ground, being
stabbed by Perez.
David Lampman, who repre-
sented Perez with attorney John
Pike, said Friday in his closing ar-
gument that it was rare for himto
ask a jury to convict his client of
third-degree murder.
Im not going to justify it. You
cant. It doesnt make sense,
Lampman said of Ruizs death.
(We) dont live by the street
code.
LampmanandPike hadargued
Perez didnt intend to kill Ruiz,
and therefore, wasnt guilty of
first-degree murder.
Perez acknowledged he
stabbed Ruiz and only later
learned he had died from his in-
juries, showing there was no in-
tent, Lampman said.
He told jurors the fight was
gang related but that Perez never
tookpart inany plantokill Ruiz
prosecutors didnt prove that, he
said.
It was a terrible and awful
drunk decision, Lampman said
of Perezs actions. But there was
no specific intent to kill. Were
telling you (Perez) is guilty but
of third-degree murder.
Assistant District Attorney Da-
niel Zola, who prosecuted the
case with fellow ADA Shannon
Crake, dismissed Perezs claim
that he was too drunk to under-
stand what he was doing.
We have the whole thing on
video, Zola said. The evidence
shows theyhadonethinginmind
Vladimir Ruiz was not going to
leave that corner alive. That is
clear. Period.
Gonzalez, charged in the
shooting death of Juda Hope in
the same fight, has yet not been
located to face charges in Hopes
death. Investigators say they
know Gonzalez boarded a plane
tothe DominicanRepublic some-
time after the homicide.
Sanchez pleaded guilty earlier
this week to a third-degree mur-
der charge relating to Ruizs
death and will be sentenced in
May.
They wanted to finish the
job, Zola said. (Ruiz) was going
to die that night at the hands of
Perez and his co-conspirator An-
gel Sanchez.

mean the investment of a lot more of his
time, into expanding his brewing capac-
ity to 10 barrels per day. Just how much
money, Schonfeldisnt saying, but he ex-
pects it to pay off.
He said if the plan is approved by gov-
ernment officials, work will start on a
new2,607-square-foot building adjacent
to the restaurant. He hasnt purchased
equipment or hireda contractor because
he first needs approval fromthe Luzerne
County Zoning Hearing Board.
His request for variances is before that
body Tuesday night.
Everythings been on hold until this
hearing, Schonfeld said.
The Schonfelds purchased an adjoin-
ing property and home a decade ago
with the idea the lot could one day be
used for expansion or overflow parking.
The house was razed but the property
hasnt been used until now.
The newbuilding will be dedicated to
brewing equipment and the brewing
process.
Schonfelds father, Jim, who owns the
property and Martys Blue Room, also is
requesting approval to build a 455-
square-foot addition to the restaurant it-
self. The two buildings will be attached
but there will be no public access to the
brewing area, though tours may be giv-
en.
Aglass wall will be installed so people
in the restaurant will be able to see the
brewing process take place.
Schonfeld said his current brewing ca-
pacity is about 60barrels a year. Withthe
new equipment and space, he said he
will be able to brewup to1,400 barrels a
year. That will result in his beer being
sold in a 10-county radius as far away as
the Lehigh Valley, Bloomsburg and the
Northern Tier.
While half-kegs andsixtels a canister
that holds about two and a quarter cases
- will still be sold, 12-ounce bottles will
replace the 22 ounce size sold now.
If business continues to boom, Schon-
feld said expansion on the property is
not likely.
If I decided to go larger, Id probably
move, he said.
Kristen Kochanski, a bartender at JJ
Bankos, said the Benny BrewAmber La-
ger has been selling well since it entered
the draft offerings at the West Nanticoke
establishment. She saidcustomers seem
to be ordering it again and again. Once
they learn its from a local brewer, she
said, theyre impressed.
In the past week, the Oatmeal Stout
has been added to the draft lineup at JJ
Bankos, but it hasnt been as popular as

nations have about three months to
significantly reduce such imports
before sanctions would kick in.
Still, administrationofficials said
that Obama is ready to slap sanc-
tions on U.S. partners and that his
action on Friday was another sig-
nal.
At issue for Obama was ruling,
by Friday, whether oil supplies
were sufficient to keep demanding
that nations cut off Iran not an
insignificant matter in a time of
high election-year gas prices at
home.
Obama gave his OK after consid-
ering available reserves, increased
oil production by some countries
and global economic conditions.
The White House emphasized that
he would continue to keep an eye
on the oil market to make sure that
it and its consumers could
withstand shrinking purchases out
of Iran.
It is not year clear, at this stage of
the process, how the sanctions
could affect gas prices.
The U.S. sanctions are set to take
effect on June 28. A European oil
embargo, approved in January,
starts in July.
Put together, Obama administra-
tion officials contend Iran is about
to face its most severe economic
pressure ever.
The United States imports no oil
from Iran.
The mainimporters of Iranianoil
that have not received exemptions
from the U.S. are China, India, Tur-
key, South Africa and South Korea.
The administration would be loath
to hit a close friend like South Ko-
rea or India, or a NATO ally like
Turkey, with sanctions, and is
working with those countries to re-
duce their imports.

and spun to reduce fat and then
chemically treated with ammo-
nia to decrease the chance of
bacterial contamination from e-
coli and salmonella. The trim-
mings used to produce the
product formerly were sold to
rendering companies for use in
pet foods and saturated-fat
cooking oils. The
use of pink slime is
prohibited in a num-
ber of countries in-
cluding the Europe-
an Union.
Weve never
knowingly used
pink slime in our
stores, said Chris
Evans, co-owner of
Thomas Family
Markets, with
stores in Luzerne
and Wyoming coun-
ties. In fact, a lot of
our beef product is
produced right here
in our stores, where
we use fresh trim
from our own beef
product. We built
our reputation on
the quality of our
meat.
Evans said he
could not be certain of beef
products purchased through
their FoodTown buying group,
but a letter from agri-giant Car-
gill Inc., which supplies beef
products to a number of Food-
Town affiliates, stated the addi-
tive would no longer be used.
Before all this uproar, Id
never even heard of pink slime
said Joe Fasula, vice president
of Gerritys Supermarkets. We
produce much of our ground
beef locally and have never
used filler in our product.
Like Evans, Fasula said he
could not vouch for the beef
purchases made through their
Shur-Save affiliation, but he
noted that Shur-Saves national
beef supplier, AWI, would no
longer be purchasing beef with
the additive.
This stuff is added by the
mega meat-packing facilities,
stressed Fasula. And the big-
gest problem with that is the
meat packers were trying to
pass this stuff off as
fresh.
Fasula said his
meat department
supervisors have
been fielding daily
questions about
pink slime from
concerned custom-
ers.
To be honest,
this is something
that caught every-
one by surprise,
continued Fasula.
I actually talked
to Pennsylvania
meat inspectors
who never heard of
this stuff. But I as-
sure you; the pub-
lic reaction was
heard loud and
clear by us.
Fasula said that
in the past Gerri-
tys, which operates nine stores,
had sold discarded beef trim-
mings to outfits like Taylor
Meat Packing in Wyalusing for
use in their rendering process.
The ironic thing is, said
Fasula we might have actually
been getting that product sent
back to us in the form of this
filler.
Steve Ross, vice president of
MaineSource Food and Party
Warehouse, which operates re-
tail stores and is a food supplier
to many local restaurants, said
the company will not sell fresh
ground beef product containing
the additive after April 10.
Our pre-packaged tube
ground beef and pre-formed
patties never had the filler, ex-
plained Ross. However, our
ground chuck and ground
round did contain it.
Ross said MaineSource had
not had much feedback from
culinary and restaurant clients,
but individual consumers had
raised concerns throughout
their corporate system.
Ive been in the supermarket
business for over 35 years,
Ross said. And this is the first
time Ive ever heard of pink
slime. Ill be glad when is off
our shelves.
A spokeswoman for Metz
Culinary Management, of Dal-
las, which supplies food service
to school districts, universities
and hospitals, said the company
would discontinue the use of
pink slime in all future menu
items but stressed that local
school districts that had pur-
chased beef products contain-
ing the additive through federal
government programs have to
make individual decisions
about continued use of the
product in their federally sub-
sidized programs.
The federal government re-
cently purchased 7 million
pounds of the product for inclu-
sion in reduced-price and free
lunches but will allow individu-
al school districts to choose be-
tween the lower-cost product or
ground beef with a higher fat
content.
We are holding all beef prod-
uct suspected of containing the
finely textured beef until we
hear something from these
schools, said Metz Vice Presi-
dent of Marketing Maureen
Gallagher. Its all up to them
now.
Neighborhood meat markets
have benefited from concern
over the additive, which has
been associated with larger
stores.
Since all this happened, ev-
eryones been coming in asking
if Ill grind their beef while they
watch, said Russell Solovey,
owner of Plains Meat Market. I
dont mind. Its what weve been
doing for years, anyway. Weve
never used any kind of filler.

CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER
A sign hung in the ground beef section at Gerritys in Pringle informs customers that the store
will not use additives.
Steve Ross, vice presi-
dent of MaineSource,
said that increasing
demand for products
free of pink slime and
limited supply likely
will drive up the price
of ground beef prod-
ucts during the out-
door grilling season.
Beef Products Inc.
recently announced
the closing of three of
its four facilities that
make the product.
A 2011 beef industry
study by the University
of Missouri said beef
prices already are at
all-time highs due to
the rising cost of cattle
feed and escalating
energy costs.

HARTFORD, Conn. Goals
havent been easy to come by of
late for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
Theyve been even harder to
get for Cody Wild.
But both parties broke through
Friday night, as the Penguins
scored three times in a span of
2:12 in the first period, including
Wilds first AHL goal since 2008-
09 in a 3-0 win over Connecticut
at the XL Center.
I think I
blacked out; I
hadnt scored in
so long, the
Penguins de-
fender said. I
jumped in the
play and (Brian
Gibbons) made
a great drop
pass. I just put it
on net to see
what would hap-
pen.
With Carl
Sneep injured
and Brian Strait
and Simon
Despres still in
Pittsburgh, that
gave Wild, who last scored for
Reading inthe ECHLlast season,
a chance to step in the lineup
along with Philip Samuelsson.
Every time weve had guys
that have hadtostepinthe lineup
theyve played well, Penguins
head coach John Hynes said.
Those guys are ready; they work
hard.
With the win, Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton (40-22-2-5) jumped
ahead of idle Hershey and into
fourth place in the Eastern Con-
ference with seven games re-
maining.
The Penguins controlled the
tempointhe openingperiod, out-
skating and outhustling the list-
less Whale.
When we work as a five-man
unit all over the iceit makes our
job that much easier, said Pen-
guins forward Jason Williams.
Everybody canreadoff eachoth-
er and in the first period we defi-
nitely did that.
A hooking call against Andre
Deveaux sent the Penguins on
the power play at 5:32. They pa-
tiently cycled the puck in the

NEW ORLEANS Kentucky coach
John Calipari likes to say there are no
rivalry games at this point in the season.
Try telling that to the Bluegrass State,
where basketballs version of the civil
war Kentucky vs. Louisville, winner
plays for the NCAA title has so divid-
ed the small state that senior citizens
have actually come to fisticuffs.
The fans take it as, whoever loses,
its their funeral, really, Louisville se-
nior guard Chris Smith said. Its really
cut-throat, I would say.
The game today is the fifth time top-
seeded Kentucky (36-2) and fourth-
seeded Louisville (30-9) have met in the
NCAA tournament. They split the previ-

NEW ORLEANS Welcome to The

OK, so, the Ohio State-Kansas matchup
may not have the fantastic freshmen, the
outspoken coaches or blood-feud story line
of the opening semifinal between Ken-
tucky and Louisville. But this one still
should be worth a two-hour investment in
front of the TV set tonight.
Besides the chance to watch two top-
line teams play for a spot in the national
title game, the Buckeyes-Jayhawks game
offers a rare opportunity to see two All-

the line.

Lackawanna County commis-
sioner Corey OBrien described
negotiations about the future of
the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yan-
kees franchise as ongoing and
productive Friday afternoon.
Lackawanna County needs to
complete the sale of the Interna-
tional League baseball franchise
to a joint venture between the
parent New York Yankees and
Mandalay Baseball Properties
LLC to raise the funds necessary
to reconstruct PNC Field and
have the team return to the
Moosic stadium in 2013. The
Yankees are playing their sched-
uled 2012 home games at six dif-
ferent sites to allow for the reno-
vations, which officials have tar-
geted as needing to start close to
April 1 in order to be ready for
2013 and beyond.
Were down to a handful of is-
sues that were trying to over-
come, OBrien said. We dont
know if an agreement will be re-
ached or not, but were working
on those issues.
OBrien said the two sides are
putting in the time to try to reach
an agreement. Without it being
resolved soon, the future of the
franchise in northeastern Penn-
sylvania would be in doubt be-
cause the Yankees and Interna-
tional League would need to find
a home for 2013.
Were talking on a daily, hour-
ly basis with the New York Yan-
kees and SWB Yankees with re-
spect to a definitive agreement,
OBrien said.
At the same time, OBrien said
therearediscussions withEwing-
Cole regarding the stadium re-
construction process. The pro-
ject has an estimated cost of
$28.7 million.
Were negotiating a guaran-
teed maximum price contract
with the construction manage-
ment firm to ensure that Lacka-
wanna County taxpayers are not
on the hook if this project goes
over budget, he said.

Lackawanna County
commissioner addressed state
of baseball team on Friday.
By TOMROBINSON
For the Times Leader
It all happenedunderthewatch-
ful eyes of Yankees manager Joe
Girardi and pitching coach Larry
Rothschild.
Garcia pitched one-hit ball for
six innings against a Pirates Tri-
ple-A lineup that included major
league infielders Garrett Jones
and Pedro Alvarez - who like
Swisher and Cervelli for the Yan-
kees - came downfromPittsburgh
to get some swings in.
Fashioning a superb blend of
fastballs and offspeed pitches,
Garcia moved his pitches around
andhit hisspotswhilestrikingout
four. He left the game after allow-
ing two hits around a walk in the
seventh inning.
Cervelli, who came down to
catch Garcia, was impressed. Gar-
cia said he was satisfied with the
performance.
"Im really happy," said the 35-
year-old Garcia, who went 12-8
with a 3.62 ERA for the Yankees
last season. "I want to continue
working."
The Yankees have a logjam of
pitchers battling to line up behind
ace C.C. Sabathia and Hiroki Ku-
roda in their rotation. The candi-
dates include Phil Hughes, Gar-
cia, 16-game winner Ivan Nova
and recently-acquired Michael
Pineda.
If Pineda - whos still trying to
build arm strength this spring -
doesnt make it, he could wind up
starting the season with Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre.
Theres no chance of that for ei-
ther Swisher or Cervelli.
Swisher went 1-for-4 inhis plate
appearances as he tries to recover
from a groin injury that kept him
out of camp for the past week. It
was the second time in three days
Swishers spent time working out
with Scranton/Wilkes-Barres
teamin minor league camp.
"I cant get enoughof youguys,"
Swisher joked as he joined minor
leaguecampfor morningpractice.
Cervelli singled home Colin
Curtis inthesecondinningduring
his 2-for-4 day, and barely pulled a
shot with home run distance foul
during his first trip to the plate.
"I feel good," said Cervelli,
whos battled concussions among
an assortment of injuries in the
past. "Im just looking to have
good at-bats, hit the baseball well.
Thats all I care about."
In the lineup for Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre was Steve Pearce,
the former Pittsburgh Pirate who
signed a minor league contract
with the Yankees this week.
The SWBYankees will soon get
former Oakland As slugger Jack
Cust, a native of Flemington, N.J.
who was recently released by the
Houston Astros. Cust was also
signed to a minor league contract
as an insurance policy in case 41-
year-oldRaul Ibanez doesnt work
out as NewYorks leftydesignated
hitter.
Cust is expected to join Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre this weekend,
well before Thursdays Interna-
tional League opener at Lehigh
Valley.

NEW ORLEANS Anthony
Davis was busier than any of the
other players in the Final Four.
The Kentucky freshman had
to make the circuit of Player of
the Year presentations Friday,
not that he was complaining.
There were a lot of awards
yesterday and today, Davis said
with a big smile. Its a great feel-
ing, especially as a freshman. Ive
been working hard and now its
rewarding.
Davis became the first Ken-
tucky player and second fresh-
man to be selected The Associ-
ated Press Player of the Year. He
pickeduphis latest trophy, along
with Coach of the Year Frank
Haith of Missouri.
It was Davis secondceremony
of the day, and he had to make a
quick exit to get to practice, part
of the preparations for the na-
tional semifinal matchupagainst
Louisville on Saturday.
This is great to be here and
hopefully we can win the nation-
al championshipandaccomplish
our goal, he said. Even if we
come up short we still had a
great season.
The 6-foot-10 Davis sure did.
He averaged 14.3 points on
a team with six double-figure
scorers 10.0 rebounds and 4.6
blocks while shooting 64.2 per-
cent from the field. His block to-
tal is a school record and third-
best ever for a freshman. He was
the Southeastern Conferences
Player, Freshman and Defensive
Player of the Year.
My expectations were noth-
ing like this; I wasnt planning on
any awards, he said of how he
approached his first and what
many project will be his only
season in college basketball. I
have to thank my teammates for
those lob passes for easy baskets
and for them getting beat off the
dribble for all those blocked
shots. Without themthere are no
awards.
No Kentucky player had won
the award which started in 1961,
and the only other freshman to
win it was Kevin Durant of Texas
in 2007.
Im surprised because youve
had a lot of great players from
Kentucky, Davis said. Hopeful-
ly Im starting something, and a
lot of Kentucky players will win
this award.
Davis received 43 votes from
the 65-member national media
panel that selects theweeklyTop
25. Balloting was done before
the NCAA tournament.
Thomas Robinson of Kansas
was second with 20 votes, and
Draymond Green of Michigan
State received the other two
votes.
Jimmer Fredette of BYU won
the award last season.
Haiths first season at Missou-
ri got off toa roughstart andend-
ed with a second-round thud in
the NCAA tournament. In be-
tween his unpopular selection to
replace Mike Anderson at Mis-
souri and the Tigers stunning
loss to 15th-seeded Norfolk
State, things went very well.
Missouri won 30 games and
the Big 12 tournament and was
ranked in the AP poll the entire
season, reaching second for one
week and was third in the final
poll.
Haith received 21 votes from
themediapanel, whileJohnCali-
pari of Kentucky andTomIzzoof
Michigan State tied for second
with 10 votes each. The voting
was done before the NCAA tour-
nament.
Unlike Davis, Haith didnt
have a practice to rush to Friday.
Its good to see your peers at
something like the Final Four,
but the disappointment of your
season being over is still there,
Haith said. Still, I cant tell you
how honored and humbled I am
with all the recognition.

Missouri coach Frank Haith poses with his award as the Associ-
ated Press college basketball coach of the year Friday.
For just the second time in
Steve Barbers six years as
head coach, Wyoming Valley
West didnt qualify any wres-
tlers for the PIAA Champion-
ships earlier this month.
The Spartans made up for
that the past few days.
A trio from Wyoming Valley
West Cody Cordes, Travis
Roper and Kyle Krasavage
earned All-American status at
the National High School
Wrestling Championships at
the Virginia Beach Convention
Center in Virginia Beach. Ha-
nover Areas Dominic Vitale al-
so earned a medal on Friday.
Cordes, a 145-pounder, took
fourth during the freshman
tournament, picking up four
wins over the three-day event.
Vitale, also participating in the
freshman event, took sixth at
138 and also won four match-
es. Cordes didnt make it past
the Northeast Regional Tour-
nament during the regular sea-
son, while Vitale didnt qualify
for regionals, placing fourth at
the District 2 Class 2A Cham-
pionships.
Roper won four bouts in the
sophomore event and placed
eighth on Friday in the 126-
pound class. Earlier in the
week, Roper knocked out Pitt-
ston Areas Tyler Lutecki from
competition for one of his
wins.
Krasavage, who was a state
qualifier for the Spartans in
2010 as a freshman but missed
the event this season because
of a stacked weight class at re-
gionals, took fifth at the junior
national event. Along the way,
Krasavage picked up five wins,
including a defeat of a two-
time state champion from
South Dakota.
A total of 28 Wyoming Val-
ley Conference wrestlers made
the nearly seven-hour trip to
Virginia Beach for the tourna-
ment. The freshman, sopho-
more and junior events ended
Friday, while the senior tour-
ney was just beginning.
Three wrestlers from
Meyers -- Vito Pasone (113
pounds), Jeff Nealon (132) and
Darren Stucker (145) -- are par-
ticipating in the senior compe-
tition. Stucker, who was a
state qualifier for the Mo-
hawks, won his first two bouts
Friday, then lost his third to
drop into the consolations. Pa-
sone, a state runner-up, won
his first match, while Nealon
lost his.

ous four meetings.
Basketball purists may argue
Duke-North Carolina or Kansas-
Missouri are the games biggest,
most intense rivalries. But those
are like quaint tea parties com-
pared with the animosity be-
tween Kentucky and Louisville,
which required government in-
tervention to get them to sched-
ule each other.
No, think Auburn-Alabama on
the hardcourt, and you get the
idea.
We get along with most of
them, Kentucky fan Pat Stahl
said of Louisville fans, as long as
they dont talk to you.
Or, heaven forbid, say some-
thingat adialysis appointment. A
71-year-old Louisville fan
punched a 68-year-old Kentucky
fan earlier this week after their
discussion over tonights game
got out of hand.
To be fair, police say the Ken-
tucky fan did flip off the Louis-
ville fan.
It all started with the racial
lines in Kentucky, Louisville
coachRickPitinosaidof therival-
ry. Now (its) no longer racially
motivated. Its just pure hatred.
Its a given that Louisville and
Kentucky would be rivals, their
campuses a mere 70 miles apart
in a state where basketball is
king. To hear fans of bothschools
tell it, however, the programs
might as well beondifferent plan-
ets.
Kentucky is a college basket-
ball blue blood, its seven national
titles secondonlytoUCLA, while
Louisville has a nice little tradi-
tion going with two national ti-
tles.
Kentucky is the bigger school,
and its campus is set in bucolic
hill country. Louisville sprawls
over several city blocks, smoke
from a soy processing plant bil-
lowing overhead and railroad
tracks cutting through the center
of campus. (If the Louisville la-
crosse coach never sees a train
again after she retires, itll be too
soon.)
Big Blue counts most of the
state among its fan base, too,
while Louisville isnt necessarily
even No. 1 in its own city.
Infact, about theonlythingthe
two schools have in common is
Pitino, who led the Wildcats to
one national title and two other
Final Four appearances in eight
years at Kentucky.
Forget that engendering any
warm-and-fuzzy goodwill with
the Kentucky folks, however.
Now that Pitino isnt theirs, Ken-
tucky fans hate him, too.
But the bad blood has been
simmering for generations.
Kentucky never scheduled in-
stateschoolsunder coachAdolph
Rupp, andformer assistant Joe B.
Hall dutifully followed suit when
he took over as coach. Gov. John
Y. Brown stepped in following
their matchup in the 1983 NCAA
Mideast Regional finals, now
known around the state as The
Dream Game, and told the
schools to start playing each oth-
er.
RIVALRY
matchup between these teams
with a bad back. Kansas best
player is Thomas Robinson, who
had 21 points and seven re-
bounds in the Jayhawks 78-67
win on Dec. 10.
In my eyes, hes the college
player of the year, Sullinger said
of Robinson. I knowsome think
different. But with his season,
the way he took his team to the
top, youve just got to give it to
him.
In fact, its Kentuckys Antho-
ny Davis who took player of the
year awards from The Associat-
ed Press and college basketball
writers Friday. But while Davis is
a story of an ultra-talented fresh-
man trying to lead his team to a
championship in what likely will
be his only year with the Wild-
cats, Sullinger and Robinson ap-
proach college in a different way.
At one point last season, Sull-
inger was viewedas asurefirelot-
tery pick, a one-and-done pros-
pect with nothing much left to
prove in college. He never sawit
that way, however, and when
Ohio State was eliminated from
last years tournament as a No. 1
seed, the 6-foot-9 forward com-
mitted to staying in college.
I wanted to make a state-
ment, that not everybody is us-
ing college basketball as a pit
stoptogothenext level, hesaid.
That theres more than money
and endorsements. Theres
championships that youvegot to
win at every level. Thats what I
pride myself on. Ive wona cham-
pionship all the way from ele-
mentary to now. I pride myself
on winning. Thats the biggest
thing. Thats why I came back.
Pride, was also one of the
first words Robinson used when
asked about his decision to re-
turn for his junior year.
He spent most of his first two
seasons playing limited minutes
behind the Morris twins, Mar-
kieff and Marcus. NBA scouts
were telling Robinson he could
be a first-round draft pick if he
left.
It was a pride issue, Robin-
son said. I didnt want people to
guess and be like, I think he can
play. Weve seen glimpses. I
wanted to come back and prove
to everybody that Im a good
player.
He did. Widely viewed in the
preseason as a player who might
nudge his way onto some All-
America lists, Robinson outper-
formed the predictions. He aver-
ages 17.7 points and 11.8 re-
bounds a game and is learning
the difference between coming
off the bench as a role player and
leading a team.
Guys can be prepared to get a
check, but Imnot sure theyre all
prepared to make a living, Kan-
sas coachBill Self said. Thomas
wasnt preparedto make a living.
I mean, lets call it like it is. He
never had to carry the water. To
me, it wasnt a hard decision. He
needed to show everybody and
himself that he was a guy who
could make plays to impact a
game.

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton scored
again 34 seconds later with help
from some strong backchecking
byJoeyMormina, whobroke upa

necticut forward broke towards
the net on the rush.
The Penguins scrambled up the
ice, making it 2-0 when Ben Street
muscled out of a Connecticut
check on the right boards, cutting
towards the net and beating Chad
Johnson shortside at 7:23.
Wild capped the scoring at
9:01, jumping into the play and
lofting a Gibbons drop pass
through traffic and into the net
from the left post. That was the
end for Johnson, who was re-
placed by Cameron Talbot.
I think we have to continue to
build off of this game and make it
a repetitive occurrence, Hynes
said. The way we played tonight
(with the) focus, intensity, and
commitment is something we
have to have moving forward.
Scott Munroe was rarely test-
ed, but made several big third pe-
riod saves for his fourth shutout
of the year.
The Penguins conclude the
weekend today at 7 p.m. in Alba-
ny.
Notes:
Sneep (injury), Boris Vala-
bik, Matt Rust, BrandonDeFazio,
and Kevin Veilleux were scratch-
es for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
Hynes said the team would have
more information about Sneep
Monday.
Goaltender BradThiessenre-
turned Thursday from Pitts-
burgh. Patrick Kileen was as-
signed to Wheeling of the ECHL
to make room for Thiessen, who
was 3-1 in four starts for the par-
ent club. We feel really comfort-
able going with either one, Wild
said of Thiessen and Munroe.
Theres no real backup on this
team.
Munroe and Talbot both
played collegiately at Alabama-
Huntsville, although they were
never teammates. Munroe was a
Charger from 2003-06, while Tal-
bot was there from 2007-10.

Comets knock off Warriors
Coughlins Dannah Hayward,
GARs Quieterriua Gross, Ha-
nover Areas Olivia Jendrzejew-
ski and Northwests Amanda
Jimcosky are all in arms reach of
a potential state championship
entering the season. Dallas Re-
gan Rome and Holy Redeemers
Marissa Durako position them-
selves to make noise in the dis-
tance events after medaling a
year ago.
Its not just sheer talent that
has WVC coaches optimistic for
2012.
Spoiledinunseasonably warm
temperatures, area athletes are
weeks ahead in their progress
and aimto take down school and
district records along the way.
Most of the teams are two
weeks ahead of schedule, Ha-
nover Area coach Al Weston
said. Weve lost just one day of
practice; compared to last year
when every day was rained out.
There should be some great
times by the end of May.
Two new girls track coaches
will grace the infield this season.
Stanley Mirim takes over the
helm as interim coach at GAR.
Pat Conaboy heads a Tunkhan-
nock girls squad that over-
achieved at the District 2 Class
3A championships for a fifth
place finish.
Division 1
After lurking in the shadow of
the states Class 3A 100 meter
hurdles champion, Hayward
takes over Blacks leadership
role at Coughlin. Black and Hay-
wardjolteda Crusader teamthat
failed to win a dual meet to a
fourthplace teamshowing at the
state meet in Shippensburg.
Were going to miss Shelleys
quiet leadership, said Coughlin
coach Paul McGrane, of his for-
mer hurdler who now stars for
PennStates trackandfieldteam.
Lucky for us, Dannah is picking
up right where she left off.
In a district that is very load-
ed with quality hurdlers like
Wyoming Valley Wests Hilari
Norris, McGrane noted Hay-
ward may be one of the most
overlooked athletes in the dis-
trict. She placed sixth in the
state in the 300 meter hurdles.
No one knows about her,
McGrane said. We expect her to
be outstanding.
Tunkhannocks Destiny Dista-
sio is the returning district
champion in the pole vault.
Hazleton Area senior Julia
Franzosa aims to reclaimher dis-
trict title in the javelin.
As far as throwing events,
shes our stud, Hazleton Area
coach Mark Otterbine said.
Shes looking to repeat at dis-
tricts and better her perform-
ance at states.
Returning conference and dis-
trict champion Dallas faces a
cast of teams of that seek to un-
seat the Mountaineers. With so
many teams bringing returning
state performers, the conference
should remain competitive all
season.
Teams like Hazleton, Crest-
wood and Pittston are going to
be toughtomatchupwithdue to
the quality student-athletes they
have in their programs, Dallas
coach Matt Samuel said. In this
division and this district, we are
going to need both of those qual-
ities if wearegoingtobesuccess-
ful this season.
Division 2
Entering the 2012 girls track
and field season, returning
league and District II Class 2A
champion Holy Redeemer finds
itself in much better position
than the majority of its oppo-
nents. Along with the talent, the
Royals have a depth that most
teams will not be able to keep up
withinwhat is shapinguptobe a
rebuilding year for several
teams.
The Royals return a slew of
district champions or placewin-
ners from 2011 in a number of
events: Marissa Durako won the
1600 and 3200 meter run, Fallyn
Boich won the discus and took
second in the javelin, Julia Wig-
not won the long jump and fin-
ishedthirdinthe triple jumpand
Marnie Kusakavitch finished
third in the 100 meter dash.
Weve been looking good
early on in practice, but putting
it downonpaper is onethingand
weve still got to go out there and
perform, Redeemer head coach
Garfield McFarlane said.
So far, according to McFar-
lane, the only real bump in Re-
deemers road has been injuries.
Two of our sprinters are on
the shelf right now, from earlier
season injuries, and one of the
middle distance girls, she has an
injury shes nursing, McFarlane
said. Its an easy call to make
early in the season to rest them
though. Were not later on in the
season, trying to win some
points, so right nowmaking sure
of the health of our athletes is
paramount.
McFarlane is counting on his
squad staying healthy to fend off
the challenges that he sees com-
ing his way during the season.
I thinkthat Hanover Area and
Wyoming Area, theyre always
tough, McFarlane said. Hanov-
er always has a lot of goodthrow-
ers and jumpers. Meyers has
some quality sprinters, too, so
theres competition all the way
around and we have to concen-
trate on what we can do out
there.
Like the Royals, the Hawkeyes
and Warriors bring back some
district champions as well and
certainly figure to be in the mix
for the league championship.
Hanover Areas Olivia Jendre-
jewski and Northwests Amanda
Jimcosky finished sixth and sev-
enth, respectively, in the high
jump at states. Both juniors are
in prime position to leap to
championship contention. Jen-
drejewski, a defending two-time
district winner, also placed sixth
in the triple jump at states.
Hanover Area fished third as a
team at districts last year and,
while it watched sprinter Raisha
Piper leave, Amanda Keeganand
Amy Viti are back and as formid-
able in the sprints as they both
were last season.
Sara Radzwilka, last years
District Class 3A champ in the
800 meter run returns for the
Warriors, along with Sam Shin-
er, who brought home a fourth-
place finish in the long jump.
The Warriors, though, have been
bitten by the numbers bug and,
according to coach Joe Pizano,
are in a down year as far as quan-
tity goes and will need to stay
healthy to compete for the
league crown.
While injuries are certainly a
part of any sport, there are few
teams in the league this season
that can afford even as many as
the three injuries that the Royals
are currently dealing with. GAR,
for example, currently has less
than 20 girls out for the team a
number that will drastically off-
set the Grenadiers exceptional
athleticism in the sprints and
jumps.
Quieterra Gross is back for
GAR this season after winning
the district championship in the
110 hurdles and taking second in
the event at the state champion-
ships. Her sister, Quinniea, is al-
so a strong competitor inthe 200
dash and 400 run.
Unique Twyman and Nashae
Caruso help to round out GARs
talent in the sprint events.

Henrik Lundqvist was steady
throughout in winning for the
third straight game and for the
sixth time in seven. He won at
Minnesota and at Winnipeg to
get to 250 NHL victories, and
helped the Rangers widen their
lead. His best stop of the night
came 2 minutes into the third
period when he denied David
Desharnais on a breakaway to
keep the score at 2-0. Rene Bour-
que spoiled Lundqvists chances
of a shutout when he scored
with 2:29 left to make it 4-1.
Lundqvist made 19 saves.

It was Crosbys third four-
point game in a season in which
concussion troubles have limited
him to 18 games. And it came
after he was held without a point
in his past two outings and a day
after his nose was bloodied by a
puck in a loss at the New York
Islanders.
Steve Sullivan had a goal and
two assists, Evgeni Malkin had a
goal and assist, and Pascal Du-
puis set up two to extend his

WRIGHT TWP. With an
experienced group of hitters
returning, Coughlin coach Moe
Rodzinak said before the season
that the success of his team
would depend on how quickly
his pitching came around.
The Crusaders couldnt have
asked for a better start on the
mound.
Junior Josh Featherman
threw a no-hitter and narrowly
missed a perfect game in a 5-0
win against Crestwood on Fri-
day in the Wyoming Valley Con-
ference opener for both squads.
Only two batters reached base
for the Comets, both coming on
errors. Featherman struck out
seven and did not issue a walk.
He was really on. He pitched
well, Rodzinak said. It was a
nice way to start. Its only the
beginning of the season, though,
and weve just got to keep it
going.
Featherman helped his cause
with two RBI while Joe Parsnik
finished 3-for-4 with a double
and a solo home run for Cough-
lin (1-0).
Shane Casey struck out six in
six innings for Crestwood (0-1).

Feathermans no-hitter propels Coughlin
Penn State to play receiver and
will be reporting June 24.
Got to work out, get ready for
Penn State and the Big 33
(Game), Lewis said. Its time to
get towork now. I have workouts;
Penn State sent me the thing. Im
going to be running, staying in
shape and getting ready for Big
33.
Lewis had 16 points in the first
half as the East took a 44-43 lead
at halftime. Hazleton Areas Tra-
vis Buckner had all nine of his
points infirst 20minutes (two20-
minute halves were played) for
the East.
The game was close early in
the second half until GARs Dar-
rell CrawfordandMMI Preps Ge-
orge Gera hit consecutive three-
pointers for the East. Another
Crawford three a bit later opened
up the first double-digit lead, 64-
53 with 12:21.
While three-pointers were
nothing new for Crawford, they
were for the Wests James Hawk,
Tunkhannocks 6-foot-10 center.
Hawk missed badly on one at-
tempt, laughing at the awry shot.
He came back to hit his other at-
tempt from outside the arc,
bringing a smile to his face.
You get to try things youd
never tried in regular basketball
games, Hawk said. I shot a
three, airballed one and made
one. It was nice that you could
mess around and still have the
feel of a real game.
The game didnt morph into a
slamdunkcompetitioninthelate
minutes, something that has hap-
penedinthe past. However, there
were some plays that were out of
the norm of regular-season bas-
ketball.
Perhaps the best was turned in
by West guard James McCann of
Valley West. The standout point
guard sent a bounce pass be-
tween the legs of a defender to
Dallas Bob Saba, who finished
off the play with an easy basket.
Crawford finished with 11, the
only other East player in double
figures. The West was led by
Hawkwith13andLake-Lehmans
Kevin Bohan and Chris OCon-
nor, who added 10 apiece. Hawk
also received the sportsmanship
award.
Holy Redeemers Ryan De-
Remer won the three-point
shooting contest at halftime, de-
feating Sam Hwang of Wyoming
Seminary.

ENDING
HAZLETON In what has
been a productive run under
coach Paul Zaffuto, Pittston Area
has been able to work young tal-
ent into the lineup each year and
develop solid baseball players.
On Friday, it was two new-
comers to the program a soccer
player and a football/basketball
player who came through in ex-
tra innings.
Pinch hitter John Kielbasa and
new second baseman Jordan
Houseman laced run-scoring sin-
gles in the top of the ninth to lift
the Patriots to a 3-1 win at Hazle-
ton Area on opening day for the
Wyoming Valley Conference.
Kielbasa, making his first ap-
pearance for the teamin a league
game, knocked in A.J. Mancini
withabasehit andHousemanfol-
lowed it up two batters later with
an RBI single of his own.
It was a surprise it was a big
surprise, Zaffuto said of the
clutch hits in the ninth. (Kielba-
sa) was a guy who played soccer
and we didnt really get a chance
to see him. Last year he didnt
make the varsity team. But I saw
the way he was hitting in the
cage, and he puts the bat on the
ball.
Houseman, meanwhile, is one
of his high schools top all-around
athletes and opened his first var-
sity baseball season batting lead-
off for the Patriots.
Not to be overshadowed was a
strong performance on the
mound from Chuck Bressler and
Michael Schwab, who held the
Cougars to three hits in nine in-
nings.
The duo issued nine walks on
the afternoon but did not allow
the Cougars to capitalize.
Schwab pitched the final four
frames, stranding two runners in
three of them before setting Ha-
zleton Area down in order to
close out the bottomof the ninth.
For the Cougars, starter Antho-
ny Zaloga gave up just one run in
seven innings of work, striking
out six and walking one.
With teams gearing up for low-
scoring games because of the
switch to BBCOR-certified bats,
small ball was in full effect in the
opener.
The two squads combined for
bunt attempts in eight plate ap-
pearances, with top hitters on
both sides being asked to move
runners over. PittstonAreas Josh
Razvillas and Hazleton Areas
Matt Barletta both had a double
and a sacrifice bunt.
But the problem for the Cou-
gars was coming up with a hit af-
ter getting runners into scoring
position.
We need to get those timely
hits, Hazleton Area coach Gino
Cara said. We moved themover,
but then weve got to finish that
job. Every run matters, and weve
got to get them in.
Hazleton Area (0-1) did man-
age to jump out in front, breaking
a scoreless tie in the bottom of
the fourth. Barlettas double
brought home Carl Cara, who re-
ached base three times on the
day.
PittstonArea (1-0) answeredin
the top of the sixth as Razvillas
doubledandscoredona single by
Tyler Loftus.
Both teams missed opportuni-
ties for another run in the fourth,
however, as a suicide squeeze by
the Patriots didnt bounce far
enough from the plate for a force
out at home and the Cougars had
a runner thrown out trying to
score on a wild pitch.
That set up the extra-inning af-
fair with the Patriots finally pre-
vailing in nine.
Loftus and Anthony Schwab
each had two hits for Pittston Ar-
ea. Carl Cara and Rich Gawel
addeda single apiece for the Cou-
gars in a matchup of Division I
East champions from the past
two seasons.
Our objective is get that lead-
off hitter on and move him over
and try to get him in, Zaffuto
said. Didnt work for us early on,
but late in the game we got
lucky.

East, sparked by driving layups
from Kayla Gegaris of Crest-
wood and Kassie Williams of
TunkhannockgavetheEast a16-
12 lead 13 minutes into the
game.
The game developed into a
game of runs from there.
The West scored 16 of the
next 18 points behind a three-
pointer from Sarah Shaffer of
Northwest and a jumper by Bec-
ca Zamonas of Hazleton Area,
and sported a 28-18 lead with17
minutes remaining.
The East scored the next 11
points, with a putback by Nikki
Sutliff of Lake-Lehman and a
layupbyShannonMurrayof Ho-
ly Redeemer restoring the East
lead with 12:30 to play.
You start scoring and its get-
ting late, and you knowits your
last chance to play, said Grace
ONeill of Pittston Area. You
still want to win.
That lead was shortlived, as
the West enjoyeda16-3 outburst
tomakeit 44-32West withseven
minutes to play. Sara Flaherty of
Dallas hada key layup andKatie
Wolfe of Nanticoke had a pair of
baskets, including a nimble re-
verse layup, to power the West.
A late charge by the East fea-
tured a couple of baskets from
Gegaris, who finished with 11
points. But Zdancewicz scored
the Wests final six points and
set up a bucket by Danielle Tu-
zinski of Hanover Area before
that to put the game away.
Wewent onthat bigrun, Ge-
garis said. But the White
(West) team started running
the fast break. The momentum
of thegamereallywent upalot.
The three-point shooting con-
test at halftime delivered the
nights drama, as Shaffer needed
double-overtime to defeat
ONeill.
Both shooters scored 10
points in the competition,
whichfeatured15 shots frombe-
hind the arc, and10 again in the
tiebreaker another 15 shots. In
what became the third round,
Shaffer made her final seven
shots to win 12-9.
My dad rebounds for me all
the time, Shaffer said of her
practiceroutine. Graceis a real-
lygoodshooter. This was agreat
competition and was a lot of
fun.
I dont shoot like that very of-
ten, ONeill said of putting up
45 threes in three minutes. At
practice, we usedto shoot them,
just not that much.
Zdancewicz pacedthe 33hon-
ored seniors with 15 points and
also pulled down seven re-
bounds in the game. Wolfe and
Tuzinski (three blocks) topped
the West with nine rebounds
each. Jazma Robertson of
Meyers had three blocks for the
West.
Lisa Kintner of Tunkhannock
hadeight points, eight rebounds
and six blocks for the East. Ann
Romanowski of Wyoming Semi-
nary added seven rebounds and

WASHINGTON Cartier Martin
tied a career-high with 20 points in his
second game under a 10-day contract,
and the Washington Wizards built a big
lead and held on to it for a change,
breaking a five-game losing streak
Friday night with a 97-76 win over the
Philadelphia 76ers.
The loss knocked Philadelphia out of
first place in the Atlantic Division.
The Wizards had blown double-digit
leads in their last three home games,
but this time they didnt let up, playing
with speed and hustle the entire game
not to mention 47 points from the
bench.
The 76ers, meanwhile, have lost six
of nine and are struggling to score.
They had only 36 points at halftime
and found themselves outhustled to
most of the loose balls. Washington
outrebounded Philadelphia 52-38 for
the game, and the 76ers had only two
fast-break points in the first half.
Lou Williams and Thaddeus Young
scored 14 apiece for the 76ers, who
have lost six of nine.
Celtics 100, Timberwolves 79
MINNEAPOLIS Kevin Garnett
had 24 points, 10 rebounds and four
assists in his return to Target Center
and the Boston Celtics outmuscled
Kevin Love and the Timberwolves in a
100-79 victory Friday night.
Paul Pierce had 21 points and nine
rebounds, and Rajon Rondo had 17
assists for the Celtics, who have won
four in a row and six of their last seven.
Love had 22 points and 11 rebounds
but succumbed to Garnetts physical
defense in a battle between the face of
the Timberwolves past and present.
Hawks 100, Knicks 90
ATLANTA Joe Johnson scored 28
points and Willie Green carried the
Hawks in the fourth quarter, leading
Atlanta to a 100-90 victory over the
Mike Woodson and the New York
Knicks on Friday night.
Green scored 15 of his 20 points in
the final period, including a 3-pointer
from the corner that stretched Atlan-
tas lead to 94-84.
Woodson, who coached the Hawks
from 2004-10, returned to Philips Are-
na for the first time as the Knicks inter-
im coach. His team wasnt at full
strength, forced to go without injured
starters Amare Stoudemire (back) and
Jeremy Lin (left knee).
Heat 113, Raptors 101
TORONTO Dwyane Wade and
Chris Bosh scored 30 points each and
the Miami Heat beat Toronto 113-101
Friday night, their seventh straight win
over the Raptors.
LeBron James had 26 points and
nine assists and Mario Chalmers added
14 points as the Heat won for the sec-
ond time in two nights after beating
Dallas at home on Thursday.
Nuggets 99, Bobcats 88
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Arron Afflalo
scored 12 of his team-high 19 points in
the second half and added 11 rebounds
as the Denver Nuggets held off the
Charlotte Bobcats 99-88 on Friday
night.
The Nuggets entered in a three-way
tie for seventh place in the Western
Conference standings with Houston
and Utah and in need of a victory
against the worst team in the league.
Both the Rockets and Jazz were also in
action Friday night.
They got it behind a balanced effort
as Ty Lawson had 14 points and 10
assists, while Corey Brewer added 17
points off the bench on 7-for-11 shoot-
ing, and Kenneth Faried had 12 points.
Bucks 121, Cavaliers 84
CLEVELAND Brandon Jennings
scored 28 points and the Milwaukee
Bucks routed the Cleveland Cavaliers
121-84 Friday night.
Ersan Ilyasova, who missed Tues-
days game because of back spasms,
scored 20 points while Mike Dunleavy
added 16 and shot 4 for 5 on 3-pointers.
Jennings and Ilyasova didnt play in the
fourth quarter.
Rookie Kyrie Irving scored 29 points
to lead Cleveland before leaving in the
fourth quarter with a sprained right
shoulder. Irving was 11 for 20 from the
field, including 6 for 6 on 3s.
Bulls 83, Pistons 71
CHICAGO Luol Deng scored 20
points, Joakim Noah added 19 points
and 12 rebounds, and the Chicago
Bulls beat the Detroit Pistons 83-71 on
Friday night.
The Bulls scored the final eight
points after the Pistons closed within
four with just under 5 minutes left and
came away with their 14th straight win
against Detroit. In the process, they
improved their league-best record to
42-11 even though star Derrick Rose
and Richard Hamilton remained side-
lined by injuries. Luol Deng came
through again after scoring 22 in in a
lopsided win over Atlanta on Wednes-
day and Noah was his usual relentless
self, helping Chicago win again despite
all its bumps and bruises.
Mavericks 100, Magic 98
ORLANDO, Fla. Dirk Nowitzki
banked in a jumper with 5.9 seconds
left and scored a game-high 28 points
to lead the Dallas Mavericks to a 100-
98 victory over the Orlando Magic on
Friday night.
Jameer Nelson scored 24 points to
lead Orlando. Ryan Anderson added 21
and Dwight Howard finished with 19
points and 15 rebounds.

program and
has been sus-
pended indefi-
nitely.
The com-
missioner has
said since the
unpreceden-
ted penalties
were announced that the Saints
coach would likely be allowed to
continue working as his appeal
wasresolved. However, headded
that the challenge would be ex-
pedited, indicating that Payton
wouldnot likelybeabletoaddon
much work time should his ap-
peal be upheld.
Goodell alsosaidat NFLmeet-
ings this week in Florida that
Payton could have some contact
withthe teambut didnot gointo
detail, and Payton indicated that
he was still a little unclear about
that, as well.
With all the uncertainty, Pay-
ton is trying to compress as
much planning for the 2012 sea-
son into whatever time he has
left at Saints headquarters this
weekend.
The NFL could not immedi-
ately provide details onhowPay-
tons decisionto file anappeal on
Friday would affect the timeline
for the process to play out.
The decision to appeal is for
Sean Payton to make and an-
nounce as he deems appropri-
ate, NFL spokesman Greg Aiel-
lo said. If there are appeals, the
commissioner will arrange for
expedited hearings, as he stated
at the league meeting.
Theresults of theappeal could
affect whether Bill Parcells
comes out of retirement to take
over as interim coach while his
former offensive assistant and
protg is suspended.
Parcells has saidhewouldcon-
sider coaching the Saints if
asked. At a spring training game
in Jupiter, Fla., on Friday, Par-
cells declined to answer ques-
tions about the possibility.
I knowbetter than that, Par-
cells said.
NEW ORLEANS Saints
coach Sean Payton is appealing
his season-long suspension from
the NFL for his role in New Or-
leans bounty system. And hes
not the only one looking for a lit-
tlerelief fromthepenalties hand-
ed down by Commissioner Rog-
er Goodell.
General manager Mickey Loo-
mis, assistant coach Joe Vitt and
the Saints organization each de-
cided to appeal on Friday.
Paytonwill alsoaskNFLCom-
missioner Roger Goodell for his
guidance on the parameters of
the suspension, which runs
through next years Super Bowl,
a person familiar with the situa-
tion told The Associated Press,
speaking on condition of ano-
nymity because the league and
the Saints didnot announce Pay-
tons plan to appeal.
Saints spokesman Greg Ben-
sel did confirm that Loomis was
appealing his eight-game sus-
pension and, separately, the
team would challenge its
$500,000 fine and loss of second-
rounddraft picks this year andin
2013.
Vitt, suspended for six games,
is doing the same. His represen-
tative, David Cornwell, con-
firmedthedecisioninanemail to
the AP.
Goodell last week announced
the suspension of Payton, start-
ing Sunday, for his role in con-

TAMPA, Fla. Michael
Pineda experienced soreness in
the back of his right shoulder
during the New York Yankees
13-9 win over the Philadelphia
Phillies on Friday night.
Pineda, bidding for a rotation
spot, allowed six runs and seven
hits in 2
2
3 innings. The hard-
throwing right-hander struggled
with his fastball velocity again,
averaging around 91 mph.
Pineda also said he had issues
with his mechanics, opening up
his left shoulder while making
pitches. He finished with two
strikeouts and three walks,
throwing just 40 of 71 pitches
for strikes.
Yankees general manager
Brian Cashman said he is con-
cerned about Pineda, who will
have an MRI on Saturday.
Carlos Ruiz had a three-run
double during a four-run third
against Pineda.
Cardinals 4, Mets 3
JUPITER, Fla. Kyle Lohse
allowed an unearned run and
three hits in six innings and
singled in a run to lead the St.
Louis Cardinals to a 4-3 victory
over the New York Mets on
Friday.
Lohse did receive a scare,
though. Omar Quintanillas well
struck grounder in the third
inning hit Lohse in hand. After
the play, the trainer came out to
check on Lohse, who said he
simply needed a few moments
to let the tingling in his ring and
pinkie fingers subside.
Rays 3, Pirates 3
BRADENTON, Fla. Casey
McGehee and Matt Hague each
homered Friday for the Pitts-
burgh Pirates in a 3-3 tie with

Tigers 6, Orioles 4
SARASOTA, Fla. Tony
Plagman hit a tiebreaking, two-
run triple off Jim Johnson in the
ninth inning to give the Detroit
Tigers a 6-4 victory over the
Baltimore Orioles on Friday.
Johnson walked Curt Casali
and Daniel Fields before Plag-

center. Johnson, who is dueling
with Kevin Gregg for the clos-
ers job, has a 7.71 ERA this
spring.
Red Sox 9, Twins (ss) 7
FORT MYERS, Fla. Daniel
Bard made his final case for a
rotation spot, allowing three
runs and four hits in six innings
Friday as the Boston Red Sox
beat a Minnesota Twins split
squad 9-7.
Bard, who struck out seven
and walked three, is competing
with Alfredo Aceves, Felix Dou-
bront and Aaron Cook for the
final two starting berths.
Cody Ross homered twice for
Boston, raising his spring train-
ing total to six.
Twins (ss) 4, Blue Jays 1
DUNEDIN, Fla. Ben Rev-
ere followed Aaron Hicks fifth-
inning double with a triple, and
a Minnesota Twins split squad
beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-1
on Friday.
Angels 9, Diamondbacks 2
TEMPE, Ariz. Albert Pu-
jols homered and C.J. Wilson
had another strong start, and
the Angels pair of new stars led
Los Angeles to a 9-2 victory
over the Arizona Diamond-
backs.
Pujols hit his fifth spring
homer off Diamondbacks starter
Josh Collmenter. The Angels
got to Collmenter for four runs
in the first, two coming in on
Howie Kendricks fourth homer
and two more runs coming on
Bobby Abreus single.
Wilson worked 6 1-3 innings
and allowed five hits and one
run Justin Uptons fourth
homer in the first. Wilson low-
ered his spring ERA to 1.33 after
five outings.
Dodgers (ss) 6, Cubs 3
MESA, Ariz. Dee Gordon
had a two-run triple in the sev-
enth inning, leading a Los An-
geles Dodgers split squad past
the Chicago Cubs 6-3 Friday.

with a walk, drove in his first
runs of spring. The Dodgers
leadoff hitter is batting .381 with
15 runs and 10 stolen bases.
Reds 6, Indians 5
GOODYEAR, Ariz. Todd

ris singled and scored on Ryan
Ludwicks double. LaMarres
two-run homer capped the rally.
Nationals 3, Marlins 2
VIERA, Fla. Giancarlo
Stanton and Logan Morrison
returned to the lineup for the
Florida Marlins, who lost to the
Washington Nationals 3-2 Friday
night.
Stanton, who had not played
since March 11 because of wrist
and knee injuries, went 0 for 2
with a walk. Morrison was out
with troublesome knee since
March 13. He had an RBI single
in three at-bats.
Braves (ss) 3, Astros (ss) 1
KISSIMMEE, Fla. Jair

nings and an Atlanta Braves
split squad topped a Houston
Astros split squad 3-1 on Friday.

and is expected to be one of the
anchors of the Braves staff this
year.

Stocks way up for quarter
Stocks wrapped up the quarter with
another gain on Friday, this time driven
by a report that consumer spending
rose in February at the fastest pace in
seven months.
It was the strongest quarter for the
Standard & Poors 500 index since
2009, and the strongest start to the
year since 1998. The Dow Jones indus-
trial average had its best first quarter
since 1998.
The Nasdaq finished the day with a
slight loss, although it has gained al-
most 19 percent for the quarter.
Philly papers sale near
The sale of the Philadelphia Inquirer,
Philadelphia Daily News and Philly-
.com will likely be announced Monday,
according to several sources.
The buyers of Philadelphia Media
Network Inc. are a group of local in-
vestors, led by George E. Norcross III,
executive chairman of Conner Strong
& Buckelew, a New Jersey insurance
brokerage, and Lewis Katz, former
chairman of Interstate Outdoor Ad-
vertising.
The investor group has spent much
of the past two months negotiating to
acquire PMN from its hedge-fund own-
ers in a transaction valued at between
$55 million and $60 million, according
to multiple reports.
Credit card info breached
MasterCard and Visa warned Friday
that some of the data in their cardhold-
er accounts may have been breached.
The companies dont directly issue
credit cards they process card trans-
actions for the banks that do. Master-
Card said that it had notified banks
as well as law enforcement of a
potential problem with a third party,
"U.S.-based entity."
The companys own systems havent
been compromised, MasterCard said.
Visa said the same.
Honda recalls SUVs
Honda says it is recalling more than
550,000 CR-V and Pilot SUVs because
the low-beam headlights can fail.
The automaker says it will fix a prob-
lem with the headlight wiring. Affected
vehicles include 2002-2004 CR-Vs and
2003 Pilots.
Honda says there isnt enough slack
in the wiring leading to the headlight
switch. Over time the wires can work
their way loose and cut off the low-
beam lights. No crashes or injuries
have been reported due to the problem.

WASHINGTON U.S. con-
sumers boosted their spending
in February by the most in sev-
en months, raising expecta-
tions for stronger growth at the
start of the year.
Americans spent more even
as their income barely grew. To
make up the difference, many
cut back on saving.
Consumer spending rose 0.8
percent last month, the Com-
merce Department said Friday.
The biggest increase since July
coincided with the best three-
month hiring stretch in two
years.
Paul Dales, an economist at
Capital Economics, suggested
that estimated annual growth
for the economy in the current
January-March quarter may be
revisedup to around2.5 per-
cent, compared with earlier es-
timates of about 2 percent.
Consumer spending drives the
majority of economic activity.
Some of the higher spending
last month reflected surging
gas prices. But consumers
spent more on other goods and
services, too. After excluding
inflation, which was due main-
ly togas prices, spendingrose a
solid 0.5 percent.
The job gains are not result-
ing in bigger paychecks for
most Americans. Income grew
just 0.2 percent last month,
matching Januarys weak in-
crease. And when taking infla-
tion into account, income after
taxes fell for a second straight
month.
Most consumers spent more
of what they earned and saved
less. The saving rate dropped
to 3.7 percent of after-tax in-
come inFebruary. That was the
lowest level since August 2009.
It had averaged 4.7 percent for
all of last year.
Americans are also taking on
more debt. Consumer borrow-
ing increased from November
through January by the most in
a decade for a three-month
stretch. The increases were dri-
venalmost entirely by auto and
student loans. Credit card debt
decreased in January and re-
mains well belowpre-recession
levels.
Consumers open their wallets in February

TOKYO Japanese Prime Minister Yoshi-
hiko Noda saidhe is staking his political career
ondoublingJapans sales taxtoavoidaEurope-
an-style debt crisis after his Cabinet on Friday
endorsed the unpopular reform.
The Cabinet gave its approval to a bill that
would raise the 5 percent sales tax in two
stages to 8 percent in 2014 and to10 percent
by2015. The bills fate is still uncertainbecause
it has to be debated and voted on in parliament
to be enacted into law.
Noda said raising the sales tax is necessary
to help ease revenue shortfalls caused by the
countrys agingpopulationandshrinkingwork
force. Japan is the worlds fastest-aging coun-
try.
With Japans national debt already twice the
size of its economy, Noda and his allies have
warnedthat urgent steps are neededtoprevent
a crisis similar to the one gripping Europe.
The step is for the future of the people and
the country and cannot be avoided or put off,
Noda told a news conference. I will stake my
political career to achieve the goal.
The plan is unpopular with the public and
opposed by opposition lawmakers as well as
some within Nodas own Democratic Party of
Japan.
The Cabinet approval of the bill rattled the
ruling party and its coalition partner, the Peo-
ples New Party. Several ruling party lawmak-
ers resigned from top positions in the educa-
tion, health and internal ministries in protest.
A veteran politician who heads the Peoples
New Party has threatened to break away.
Noda said a sales tax increase would be the
fairest andmost stablesourceof revenuetocre-
ate a society that promises a better tomorrow
than today.
He said tax breaks and other measures
would cushion the impact of the sales tax hike
on low-income citizens. The maximum tax
rate for high income earners would also be
raised.

EIJING A pledge by
the manufacturer of Ap-
ples iPhones and iPads
to limit work hours at
its factories in China could force
other global corporations to
hike pay for Chinese workers
who produce the worlds con-
sumer electronics, toys and oth-
er goods.
Foxconn Technologys prom-
ise comes as Beijing is pushing
foreign companies to share
more of their revenues with Chi-
nese employees. It follows a re-
port by a labor auditor hired by
Apple Inc. that found Foxconn
was regularly violating legal lim-
its on overtime, with factory em-
ployees working more than 60
hours per week.
I think whatever Foxconn did
will have an impact, certainly,
on all Chinese workers in all
trades, said Willy Lin, manag-
ing director of Hong Kong-based
Milos Knitwear, which makes
clothing in three factories in
China for European clients.
Foxconn, owned by Taiwans
Hon Hai Precision Industry Co.,
promised to limit hours while
keeping total pay the same, ef-
fectively paying more per hour.
Foxconn is one of Chinas big-
gest employers, with 1.2 million
workers who also assemble
products for Microsoft Corp.
and Hewlett-Packard Co.
Japans Toshiba Group, which
employs 32,000 workers in Chi-
na to make goods such as refrig-
erators and TVs, said it too is
taking measures to reduce over-
time work and create safe work-
ing conditions at its factories.
China has long been a low-
cost manufacturing center for
goods sold under foreign brand
names. But wages already were
rising quickly as companies
compete for workers and com-
munist leaders try to push the
country up the technology lad-
der to make more profitable
products.
Research firm IHS iSuppli es-
timates that Apple pays $8 for
the assembly of a 16-gigabyte
iPhone 4S and $188 for its com-
ponents.

Did you win it all
last night? The
more than half a
billion dollars?
No amount of
money can buy
us a nice day
here today. The
rain overnight
will diminish this
morning and
turn to scattered
showers and
drizzle lasting
into the after-
noon and cloudy
skies will keep
high tempera-
tures below 50.
Rainfall totals
will range under
a half inch.
Partial clearing
tonight will lead
to only limited
sunshine on
Sunday with
April showers in
the afternoon.
Despite today's
drop in tempera-
tures, this month
will still end up
being the
warmest March
on record mak-
ing seven
months in a row
with above aver-
age tempera-
tures.

o if all went according to meteor-
ological plan or, OK, prediction
plenty of us in these parts woke
up this morning to snow. Now this
might seem an especially cruel twist of
fate, doubly so if lately wed been toy-
ing with the idea of a.c. in March.
But I urge you to embrace Mother
Nature no matter how fickle her behav-
ior. In the words of Shania Twain, let
her change her mind a million times.
We should just go with the flow. Or the
snow, as it were.
I may have a defensive ulterior mo-
tive here, but forget that for now.
First things first: Proud to say Ive
been on a tear this mild month. In an
unprecedented display of energy and
efficiency, attributable largely to the
swell days now apparently behind us,
Ive made all kinds of early headway on
tasks I every other year regret waiting
far too long to tackle.
For one thing, Im already 75 percent
finished with my twice-a-year game of
swap-the-closets, and anything wool or
flannel or otherwise hot and itchy is
out of sight and mind. For another, The
Tipsy Tiki (a.k.a. leaning lounge-ga-
rage) has already had its first pass-
through and inspection. The patio
furniture is all unstacked and placed
and the umbrella popped and planted. I
even hung the little metal sign with the
flip-the-way-you-feel attachment in-
dicating whether happy hour is in
session or (boo) over for the evening.
Then I went away for a few days.
And that mama who pulls the strings
in the skies? Well, she made a big, fat,
frustrating mess. Came home to find:
The outdoor pillows no longer on
the backyard chairs but upside-down in
the dirt. The solar-powered tiki-torch
a piece of kitsch I love, in part because
it actually works snapped into three
pieces. The outdoor porch carpet all
haphazard and askew. And the lawn,
freshly cared for by my visiting angel of
springtime, once again arrayed all
snazzy in gumballs fired like weapons
from my favorite tree. (I wont repeat
myself, except to remind for any who
care that I have in my keeping a front-
yard tower of terror that loves me so
much it gifts me with pockets full of
prickly presents almost daily this time
of year. Picking them all up is my most
enjoyable winter penance.)
Darn these mighty winds. They also
seem to have scooped up (and depos-
ited elsewhere) at least half of my pricy
red-rubber mulch, because I swear I
dont remember so many bare spots.
Ah well, said I to myself. Time to go
back in the house. Thatll teach you to
jump the gun.
And thats when I spotted it: a little
sled hanging by a little rope on the
knob of a BIG door that wished me a
Merry Christmas. Just when Id decid-
ed I was so proud of myself, for all this
unusual, extraordinary timeliness.
Merry Christmas, for crying out
loud.
Pride is such folly.
A question: What good is decoration
if three full months elapse and you live
in the place and you notice it not even
once? Closer inspection revealed, as in
the past, that this wasnt the only piece
of paraphernalia du Noel still hanging
around either. Apparently, my attention
to detail could use some attention
itself. You know how sometimes you
discover a cobweb you could wear as a
head wrap? How did this come to pass?
Where you were when this was but a
finger of dust? These are the deep,
reflective questions we all must ask
ourselves on occasion.
Also: If Im such hot stuff in the
efficiency department why is my porch
still crawling with shamrocks and lep-
rechauns and wishing all who happen
by a Happy St. Patricks Day?
Is it even worth it now to whip out
the wooden carrots and pastel eggs? Or
do I just quit the fight and go back to
bed until winter is really over?
On that note: Happy Easter, all. No
matter what my house tells you.

n home decor, theres
something about the
start of spring. When
lifes renewing itself out-
doors, we feel the urge to revive our
interiors too.
This season, decor offerings are es-
pecially upbeat.
Start with the palette. Saturated is a
word being used a lot; it means ripe
plum hues, intense tangerines, rich indi-
gos, verdant greens, zingy turquoises,
hot reds and peppy yellows.
Dee Schlotter, a color expert with PPG
Pittsburgh Paints, says exuberant orange
is No. 1 on her trend radar.
Its full of joy and playful, says
Schlotter, who also cites Geranium Pink
as a hot hue. It goes really well with
orange, and its a happy, girly color.
Teal and turquoise are back after a
lengthy retirement, and with expe-
rience in mid-century modern
and traditional decor, they
have legs that will carry
them into fall.
Erin Olson loved
the color
family enough to devote
a blog to it; the House of
Turquoise follows all things
blue-green.
What I love about turquoise
is that it can be paired with any
other color, since it has both warm
and cool undertones, she says.
My personal favorite is using tur-
quoise as a fun punch of color to an
otherwise neutral space. A turquoise
throw pillow, lamp or rug will instant-
ly bring new life to your room and can
easily be switched out, she says.
Crisp, clean whites a common
counterpoint, but youll see black as
a foil as well.
Graphic prints pop in bold colors,
and zigzags and stripes are all over
the home-accessories market-
place. So are lattice and iron-
work prints, big and little flo-
rals and abstracts. African
hand-block, Moroccan
and Silk Road patterns

I BEGIN to-
days exercise
thanking the
118 readers
from Maine
to California
who e-mailed
me with rec-
ommendations on preventing
cloudy glassware from com-
ing out of the dishwasher.
That will do.
As far as which way to
place forks and knives, up or
down, in the dishwasher,
Bernice Wissler has deter-
mined how I will do so from
now on:
I put them both top up
and bottom up in order to
be sure that none of them
nest. The silverware holder
has six compartments and
we usually have more than
six forks, for example, so
having some facing up and
some down makes for a
more even distribution.
Thanks, Bernice.
Things tall people never
consider: I recently had a
front-loading washer and
dryer installed in my family
room. Initially I thought the
pedestals were an excellent
idea; however, I discovered
that the detergent/bleach
dispenser was at eye level
for me Im 5 feet, 2 inch-
es tall. This is a safety issue
for petite women and for
any children in the house-
hold who would be using
the washer.
Remember the mice-in-the-
dishwasher problem? An
acquaintance who moved to
the Pittsburgh area e-mailed
me about her experience
with Mickey, et al:
Mice got into my dish-
washer through the hole in
my cabinet wall created by
the dishwasher plumbing.
(My dishwasher is set under
the counter next to an un-
dercounter cabinet.)
Seeking a warm winter
home, the mice climbed five
flights up through the apart-
ment building and entered
my domain through the tiny
spaces left when the round
pipe was inserted through a
rectangular hole.
Best cure is to seal
around the pipe so that
there are no more tiny
spaces.
That curly copper nest-
ing wire (that is not what it
is called, but it is what it
looks like) may discourage
the mice, but it might not
keep them out complete-
ly.
Any port in the storm:
Kathy had a mouse living
in her clothes washer.
When it overflowed, the
repairman assumed that
the tube that senses when
the tub is filled was cut,
broken, or torn (turned
out it was gnawed on),
and he took apart the top
plate around the dials. It
was there we found the
culprit in his nest.
The sensing tube was
replaced, and a few traps
set up in the laundry room
put the problem to rest.
I had inadvertently at-
tracted the mouse with a
self-feeding cat dish for
dry food that I discontin-
ued using. Now my cats
are fed twice a day and no
food is left lying around
anywhere.
To prevent mice in the
dishwasher, she suggests
rinsing dishes thoroughly
before being put inside.
Ive been told thats
better for the dishwasher,
she said.
Sewer-gas odors: A regu-
larly asked question about
what causes them brings
another possible source.
I had a similar experi-
ence; it turned out to be
coming from the electric
hot water heater.
The house had well
water with a water soften-
er to remove significant
calcium and iron content.
When I switched from
extra coarse softener salt
to a standard grade, the
odor started. I checked the
owners manual for the
heater, and it stated that
odors can occur with cer-
tain mineral compositions.
I switched back to the
extra-coarse grade, and the
problem was solved.
Changing the softener salt
type on an existing system
may work, like it did for
me.

The automatic paper towel dis-
penser has moved into the kitch-
en.
Like bathroom towel holders,
the Innovia dispenser releases
towels when you hold a hand
near its sensor. It continues to
dispense the towels until you
move your hand away, and then
tightens whenoneis beingpulled
away for a clean break. Excess
towels retract automatically.
Any standard-size paper towel
roll can be used.
The Innovia dispenser is avail-
able in stainless steel, red, white,
black or blue, although supplies
of the red dispensers were low
earlier this month. The dispenser
costs $99 at www.InnoviaHome-
.com. Shipping is free.
Q&A
Q: Where can I dispose of house-
hold (nonrechargeable) batteries
instead of the trash?
A: If your concern is that the bat-
teries contain hazardous materi-
als, rest easy. The single-use, dry-
cell batteries that we commonly
use for household purposes such
as flashlights and remote con-
trols no longer contain mercury
and dont have to be treated as
hazardous waste, said Mike Set-
tles of the Ohio Environmental
Protection Agency. Those batter-
ies include AA, AAA, C, D and 9-
volt batteries.
The U.S. EPA says it does not
require special disposal mea-
sures for the small quantities of
single-use, dry-cell household
batteries a typical homeowner
might want to get rid of.
As long as the batteries were
made in the past 15 years or so,
they can be disposed of in the
trash.
Please note that the disposal
information applies only to the
batteries I mentioned. Other
types of batteries, including but-
ton-cell and rechargeable batter-
ies, may still needto be treatedas
hazardous waste or have special
handling requirements.

Homeplans.com.
Thesingle-level designcovers1,408
square feet of living space. An unfin-
ished basement offers the opportuni-
ty to double that space.
The simple rectangular footprint
and modest square footage make it
easier and more affordable to build,
without sacrificing important space
in the kitchen and great room.
The bright country kitchen has an
island, adding valuable prep space, and a
corner pantry offers extra storage.
Theres also roomfor casual dining, with
sliding-glass doors to the rear deck let-
ting in fresh breezes for pleasant summer
meals.
After eating, head to the front porch to
enjoy the evening. On chillier nights, relax
by the fireplace in the great room.
A soaker tub with a box-bay window
highlights the master bathroom, which al-
so has a separate shower and dual sinks.
Two additional bedrooms share a full
bath with a skylight.
The two-car garage provides a workshop
area with a window and back door.

Flors new spring collection
of floor tiles includes Fedora,
in a soothing palette of dusty
turquoise, oatmeal, walnut and
flannel. Used in a bedroom
with lavender, cream or pale

serene of sleeping spaces.
Land of Nod has a cheery Wa-
termelon Stripe duvet cover in

as the Dot Matrix rug, com-
posed of hundreds of rolled felt

SPRING
Continued from Page 1C
AP PHOTOS
A wall painted in Tangerine Tango, an exuberant orange tone, from PPG Pittsburgh Paints. When
lifes renewing itself outdoors, we feel the urge to revive our interiors, too. This season, theres
something especially upbeat about the home-dcor offerings sprouting up in stores. Graphic prints
pop in colors, and zigzags and stripes are all over the home-accessories marketplace this spring.
from last season.
Not a fan of bright?
Look for a whole world
of calming neutrals such
as soft putty, grellow (a
gray/yellow blend),
greige (a gray/beige),
aqua, pewter, copper, va-
nilla and shell pink.
Youll see lots of texture
in this category: weath-
ered wood, animal hide,
burnished metals, burlap
and gauzy cottons. Honey-
comb patterns, naturalistic
motifs such as twigs, leaves
and birds, watery Impression-
ist prints and airy florals
soothe the soul.
Neutrals are taking the pop-
ular gray trend and moving it
forward, by adding warmth
with natural materials such as
jute and linen, and then giving
it a real punch by adding a sun-
ny pop of yellow, says Sher-
win-Williams color marketing
director, Jackie Jordan.
Repainting walls in a fresh
spring hue is one way to update
a room, but if youre not ready
to commit in a major way,
small changes also can alter a
rooms mood. Try a lemony
throw, clean white paint trim, a
teal rug or sandy-toned drap-
ery.
Go for a bright, candy-hued
lamp base and pick the color up
again in a big fruit bowl. In the
kitchen, replace cooking tools
with new ones in luscious to-
mato red.
IKEA is offering its Expedit
shelving in fire engine red;
theres the new Varmdo rock-
ing chair in the hue, too.
Loll Designs cubby bench
comes in a pretty grass green.
And CB2s Go-Cart desk in vi-
brant blue would be a fun place
to work. Their Parlour atomic
orange chair adds energy
to a neutral room.
Pier 1s Liliana
armchair has an
ironwork pattern
thats recurring in
textiles and furni-
ture detail this
season. The Annie
Black Bird wing-
back chair has a
dramatic black
and white nature
motif that would
pop against dark or
white walls and
wood floors. And a hanging
lamp in caramel with leaves
rendered in gold is the perfect
addition to a restful room filled
with tawny hues.
If you like strong pattern but
prefer quiet colors, consider
BlissLivingHomes muted deep
sea and celery chevron revers-
ible Maru throw. DwellStudios
got a new collection of zigzag
flat-weave wool and cotton
rugs in lapis and citrine. And
Galbraith & Pauls loop-embel-
lished velvet pillows come in
gentle shades of coral and nut-
meg.
A hammered brass stool from
India makes a cool side table
from Wisteria, and there are
Kuba cloth chocolate and white
throw pillows and a great col-
lection of cowhide stools,
trunks and benches here, too.
Z Gallerie Inc. offers an Annie
Black Bird chair in crisp black
and white with a nature motif.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: Im a
17-year-old senior
with a single, very
controlling mother.
Its impossible to
have a sit-down con-
versation with her
because shes always
working to support us. She works as a
dog groomer. Shes polite to her cus-
tomers and friends, but she turns into
a witch when its just her and us kids.
I have never had any freedom. I
go to school, come home and groom
dogs. She makes me feel useless un-
less Im working for her. She wont let
me work, doesnt want me to go to
college and wont give me my Social
Security card or birth certificate, so I
cannot get on with my life. Help.
Teen Who Needs Advice
Dear Teen: Where is your father in
all of this? If your mother doesnt
want you to see your birth certificate,
it may be that theres something shes
afraid you will see. Her controlling
behavior does seem excessive for a
girl your age.
In a few months you will be an
adult. If you wish to continue your
education, you should talk to a coun-
selor at school about it and inquire
about scholarships, student aid and
how to apply. Do not let your moth-
ers disapproval discourage you from
trying.
Dear Abby: Im dating a hard-to-
find kind of man. He is charming,
funny, polite and very sweet. He is
my Prince Charming except for one
thing. Hes a racist.
I have asked him not to say de-
meaning things about people of other
races to me. Most of his friends are
like that, too. When he meets some-
one of a different race hes polite and
friendly, but when he sees someone
on TV, or walking on the street he
makes derogatory comments.
Im considering breaking up with
him over this. Am I overly sensitive,
or is this a legitimate concern?
Too Sensitive in Texas
Dear Too Sensitive: Youre not
overly sensitive. We are living in an
increasingly diverse society that in
years to come will only become more
so. Birds of a feather tend to flock to-
gether, and so do racists. Unless you
want to become increasingly isolated
and surrounded only by people who
think like your Prince does, find
someone who thinks like you do.
Dear Abby: My cousin Carla just
had a baby. Shes in her early 20s,
unemployed and living in a condo
her parents bought her. Her deadbeat
boyfriend lives with her. They smoke
pot and love to party, although Carla
has abstained since she got pregnant.
When I received an invitation to
her baby shower, I declined. I dont
think her having a baby is a good
thing, and I didnt feel comfortable
celebrating this good news. I have
not offered my opinion on the sub-
ject, but when my sister asked me
why and I told her, she called me self-
ish. Do you think she is right?
Principled Cousin
Dear Principled Cousin: I dont
think you were selfish for sticking
with your principles. Nor do I think
your unemployed cousin and her
deadbeat boyfriend are heading down
the road of parenthood in a respon-
sible way. Because you didnt feel you
would enjoy the event, you were right
to decline the invitation.

have to know how to do some-

it. You get an overall sense of

things are now. Youve put in the
time and paid your dues. Youve
earned the right to perks.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Youre
looking for love, and you will
find it. Your true love is likely
the one who makes you laugh,
makes you wish you were better
dressed, or makes you dinner.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). When
its time to be tough, youll show
no vulnerability. Being able to
defend yourself verbally, emo-
tionally, physically, financially
and otherwise makes you feel
so confident that no one would
dare cross you anyway.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your knack
for finding things will come into
play. You could save the day by
simply remembering what others
did and said when they them-
selves cannot seem to recall it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your
work has improved so much that
you almost hate to look back at
the early, awkward stages. Youll
notice how far youve come, and
so will others.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It might
be difficult for you and a partner
to agree on financial matters,
and your preferences may clash
in other small ways. But as long
as you still agree on the big pic-
ture, you can work things out.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Youll
control your spending and
calorie intake. Youll hold your
tongue and manage your vices.
But you cant help who you love.
Youll enjoy the quiet time you
spend with your feelings.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You recognize the wisdom in
silliness and naive beliefs. You
dont mind playing the part of
the clown philosopher or eternal
optimist if it makes your loved
ones feel happier.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Youre drawn to upbeat people.
Shake hands and introduce
yourself. By adding only one new
friend to your life, you will move
your social life to a new level.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
appreciate the one who will
interrupt his or her cherished
routine in order to accommodate
you. Even if the effort is small,
you dont take this for granted.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The
universe teaches patience and
acceptance. Your tolerance
grows. If the whole world could
be just 10 percent more tolerant,
it would seem as though para-
dise descended upon us.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (March
31). The relationship sector of
your life gets a blast of exciting
energy in April. The one youve
known forever sparks new inter-
est and curiosity in your heart.
May brings a promotion. In July,
youll realize a personal goal.
Your hobbies and talents will
move you into a different pro-
fessional realm. Capricorn and
Sagittarius people adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 5, 20,
31, 19 and 28.

The Verano is a new compact sedan from
that near-luxury nameplate, Buick. Its an
impressive, competitively priced car; a stellar
cut from the quiet and comfortable motoring
cloth. A great car in many respects, the Vera-
no is also an unmitigated failure.Yep, a single
car is poised to both flourish and fail. All the
goodwill this Verano works hard to achieve
goodwill I came to wholly appreciate dur-
ing my week with a near-loaded, $28,245
example may be largely undone by an odd
miscalculation by Buick and parent General
Motors Co. The Veranos failure isnt its driv-
ing experience. The car is powered by a 2.4-
liter, direct-injected four-cylinder engine that
makes 180 horsepower and 171 pound-feet of
torque. Although its 3,300 pounds is a tad
heavy for this Buicks size its smaller
than a Honda Accord or Toyota Camry the
engine has just enough power to move the car
sufficiently. That motor is paired to a six-
speed automatic transmission with a manual
shift mode. The gearbox routes power to the
front wheels and helps move the Verano from
0 to 60 mph in 8.2 seconds, according to Car
and Driver. This engine and transmission are
the only units available on the Verano, and
they work in concert with each other to create
a smooth, capable driving experience.
The result is a fuel economy rated at 21
miles per gallon in the city and 32 on the
highway. In just under 200 miles of testing on
more city streets than highways, I averaged
22 mpg. Also smooth is the Veranos han-
dling. Based very loosely on the Chevy
Cruze, it uses the same rear suspension setup;
something called a Watts Z-link. Without get-
ting into a dissertation on physics, this setup
essentially gives the car more responsive han-
dling than you might expect from a Buick
pedigree. Meanwhile, driving over rough
roads is also nicely dampened. Turning
inward, this Buicks failure isnt its passenger
experience.
The front seats are so comfortable I almost
stole them for my living room. Theyre soft
and supportive but have the firmness and bol-
stering you know is good for you. The back
seats are good too, but theyre not the thrones
of the front.
My test car came with the Luxury package,
which swaddled those seats in a beautiful
deep tan leather Buick calls Choccachino.
This option also adds a heated steering wheel,
heated front seats, keyless entry, push-button
start and a nine-speaker Bose sound system.
The interior is well-constructed and feels
worthy of its near-luxury status. The standard
full-color touch screen, which controls the
stereo and optional navigation, is intuitive
and fast-acting. Below the screen sit the cli-
mate control and redundant buttons for the
stereo. Although they have a quality feel to
them, there are a bit too many buttons, and
their layout could be more straightforward.
My only other complaint about the interior
was the just-too-wide gaps between the doors
and the dashboard.
The Verano is also exceedingly quiet
inside. Mausoleums are louder. This is no
accident, as Buick used tricks such as lami-
nated glass on the doors and windshield as
well as fiberglass stuffed into the door panels.
Finally, passengers can enjoy the quiet com-
fort of the Verano knowing the car has
impressive safety features such as 10 air bags,
ABS, stability control and a tire-pressure
monitoring system.
Despite all this content and safety, the Ver-
anos failure isnt its value.
The car starts at $23,470, which is less than
a top-end Chevy Cruze. Every Verano comes
with amenities including a six-speaker stereo
system with XM Satellite radio, USB and
auxiliary inputs, a 7-inch touch screen dis-
play, Intellilink infotainment system with
Pandora and Bluetooth streaming audio,
automatic climate control, 18-inch alloy
wheels and fog lights.
The aforementioned Luxury package
added $3,380. A sunroof and paint upgrade
brought the grand total to $28,245. Since the
only feature my car was missing was the
$795 navigation system, you can get the
loaded potato version for a smidge over
$29,000.
But if the Veranos value, comfort and
especially its seats deserve an ode, the cars
styling deserves a eulogy. This is where the
car fails.
To be clear, the Verano is certainly not a
bad-looking car; much of its look is similar to
the rest of Buicks conservatively styled
products at the moment. It has a prominent
chrome grille and wide, eager headlights out
front. At the back is a handsome, straightfor-
ward design, accented only by a pair of thick
chrome trim pieces that seem to draw their
inspiration from the eyebrows of the late
Andy Rooney.
But Buick takes this car, replete with con-
servative, practical luxury, and tells us the
Verano will target people considering a Lexus
IS250, Acuras TSX or even Volvos compact
C30 two-door hatchback. The unstated goal?
That this car would appeal to people born
during the presidential administrations of
Carter or Reagan rather than those of Taft or
Wilson.
It doesnt; it cant. On paper it should, for
the multitude of reasons youve just read. But
this exterior design takes precisely zero
chances and rather than dispel the notion that
a Buick is only for people who buy Ensure by
the pallet, it reinforces it.
There needs to be a unique or aspirational
element to Verano; something to draw the
attention of thirtysomethings at a stoplight
and cause them to ask "What is that?" and
then pick up their iPhone and Google it.
Buick had an opportunity to really change the
perception of its brand and to move it into the
perspective of a younger buyer. But it missed
by a mile.
Including features such as the Intellilink
infotainment system and pricing the car very
competitively is a nice start, but its not
enough. Throwing in a free Xbox game with
every tube of denture paste doesnt make peo-
ple want to buy denture paste. Styling and
features aside, another element of the Vera-
nos handicap is that the cars its targeting
have gobs more luxury street cred. The com-
petitive Lexus is one of the cheapest cars that
company makes; buy one and you have the
same brand of car as the guy in the full-size,
$113,000 Lexus LS Hybrid. Although it may
seem silly on its face, this kind of brand equi-
ty matters. Instead, this Buick will appeal to
the same demographic the rest of the brands
lineup attracts and perhaps younger empty-
nesters who are seeking affordable luxury but
dont need a large car. Those buyers will get
a comfortable, quiet, economical product that
they will like very much.
