>> DEWEY, CHEATEMAND HOWE: Is there another

profession in this world that is the butt of more jokes than
lawyers? OK, maybe politicians. But lawyers are in the top two.
In response, someone (probably a lawyer) has come up with
International Be Kind to Lawyers Day. So Tuesday is a day to
show your local attorney a little love. And stop telling all those
jokes that begin, What do you call a thousand lawyers at the
bottomof the ocean? Or, How many lawyers does it take to
screw in a light bulb? .. Or .. Wait, whats this? A cease-and-
desist order? ... Never mind.
>> ITS ONLYADATE: Its inevitable. Every year, at least
once, a Friday aligns with the 13th day of a month and every-
one goes running for cover thinking a meteor is going to conk
themin the noggin. In reality, scientists say you are 356 times
more likely to be hit in the noggin by Phyllis Diller. But serious-
ly, there really is nothing to fear about Friday the 13th. Its
just a number. In fact, in some countries, Tuesday the
13th is considered the unlucky day. So, relax this
week. Nothings going to happen. Well, as long as
Phyllis Dillers not around.
>> SOY-TENLY: From1930 to 1965, The
Three Stooges, in all their incarnations, starred in
more than 200 movies and short films. According
to mathematicians, that adds up to 34,767 nyuk-
nyuk-nyuks, and almost 454,398 fingers in
eyeballs. Now Hollywood is reviving the Stoog-
es for a new movie. The appropriately named
The Three Stooges opens this Friday, and
stars actors who LOOK like Moe, Larry and
Curly. But can they ACT like Moe, Larry and
Curly? We shall see.
>> AMUSIC MAN: Composer and pianist George Gershwin
has written some of the most famous music in American
history. Ever hear of Rhapsody in Blue? Ive Got a Crush on
You? Someone to Watch Over Me? Even if the names arent
familiar, the melodies will be. And the Northeast Philharmonic
has these melodies for you, and a whole lot more. The phil-
harmonic will be presenting Here To Stay: The Music of
Gershwin this Saturday at 8 p.m. at the F.M. Kirby
Center.
>> HOORAY, HOCKEY!: OK, good news, bad
news. First the bad: The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
Penguins will play their last regular-season home
game at 7:05 p.m. this Saturday. Yes, thats right.
When the teamfinishes its game against the
Bridgeport Sound Tigers, there will be no more
regular-season action at the Mohegan Sun
Arena until fall of 2012. The good news? Play-
offs! The Penguins have a spot rapped up in
the postseason, so do not fret, hockey fans.
Theyll be at least a few more home games
this year. Hopefully, a lot more.

NEW YORK Ahh, spring.
The days get longer, flowers
bloom, and gasoline gets more
expensive.
Its a galling time for drivers,
and its more maddening than
usual this year. The average price
of gasoline could surpass $4 per
gallon nationwide as early as this
week. Its already $3.93 per gal-
lon, a record for this time of year.
Why the seasonal spike? Its
the time of year refineries reduce
output to repair equipment and
start making a cleaner, more ex-
pensive blend of gasoline for
summer.
Since 2000, pump prices have
risen every year between early
February and late May. The an-
nual increase has boosted prices
by 27 percent on average, accord-
ing to the National Associationof
Convenience Stores. This year,
prices have risen 14 percent, or
48 cents per gallon, since Feb. 1.
Theres always built-in in-
crease, and its going to be accen-
tuatedthis year, saidTomKloza,
chief oil analyst at Oil Price Infor-
mation Service.

before the seasonal run-up.

Antonios hit by fire after flood recovery
AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER
After being flooded at its West Pittston location in September, Antonios Pizza made a
home on Wyoming Avenue in Wyoming near the intersection with Eighth Street. The busi-
ness suffered another blow with an early-morning fire Saturday. Wyoming Mayor Bob
Boyer said a state police fire marshal was called to determine the cause. The building sus-
tained heavy damage in the fast-moving fire reported around 6:15 a.m. Fire departments
from surrounding communities assisted and the fire was brought under control within a
few minutes, said Boyer. One firefighter suffered a hand laceration battling the blaze, the
mayor said.
WASHINGTON Students
such as Delano Coffy are at the
heart of brewing political fights
and court battles over whether
public dollars shouldgotoschool
vouchers to help make private
schools more affordable.
He was failing in his neighbor-
hood public elementary school in
Indianapolis until his mother en-
rolled him in a Roman Catholic
school. Heather Coffy has
scraped by for years to pay the
tuition for Delano, now16 and in
a Catholic high school, and his
two younger siblings, who attend
the same Catholic elementary as
their brother did. Shes getting
help today from a voucher pro-
gram, passed last year at the urg-
ing of Indiana GOP Gov. Mitch
Daniels, that allows her to use
state money for her childrens
education.
I cant even tell you howeasy I
canbreathenowknowingthat for
at least for this year my kids can
stayat theschool, saidthesingle
mother, who filed a petition in
court in support of the law. The
state Supreme Court is hearing a
challenge to the law, which pro-
vides vouchers worth on average
more than $4,000 a year to low-
and middle-income families. A
family of four making about
$60,000 a year qualifies.
For all the arguments in favor
of vouchers, there are opponents
who say vouchers erode public
schools bytakingawaymoney, vi-
olate the separation of church
and state by giving public dollars
to religious-based private
schools, and arent a proven way
to improve test scores.
Even among supporters,
theres dissension over whether
vouchers should only be offered
to low-income students on a lim-
ited basis or made available to
anyone. Theres also division
among black and Hispanic lead-
ers as to whether vouchers help
or hurt kids in urban schools.
Many opponents also dislike
scholarship programs that pro-
vide tax benefits to businesses or
individuals for contributing to a
fund to pay for private school.
They say those programs under-
mine public schools by keeping
tax revenues out of state treasur-
ies, animportant source of educa-
tion dollars.
Fights about using tax dollars
to help make private schools
more affordable are popping up
around the country.
In Louisiana, Republican Gov.
Bobby Jindal won a victory
Thursday with passage of legisla-
tion that expands statewide a
voucher programin NewOrleans
as part of broad changes to the
states education system.
Virginia lawmakers recently
passed a bill backed by Republi-
can Gov. Bob McDonnell allow-
ing a tax credit for contributions
to private school scholarship pro-
grams, and Florida GOP Gov.
Rick Scott signed a bill expand-
ing a similar program. Creating
or expanding voucher or certain
scholarship programs has been
debated in New Hampshire,
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, South
Carolina, Ohio, New Jersey and
elsewhere.
But school choice supporters
have faced roadblocks, too.
Recently, in Arizona, GOP
Gov. JanBrewer vetoeda bill that
would have expanded a law
passed last year that created edu-
cation savings accounts for par-
ents of students with disabilities;
the money could cover expenses
such a private schooling, virtual
programs or future college costs.
The vetoed bill would have
broadened eligibility to gifted
students, childrenof military per-
sonnel or students attending
poor performing schools. Brewer
said it was too early to consider
such proposals before a newbud-
get is approved, and she ex-
pressed unease about changing
the education system in ways
that may make parts of it uncom-
petitive.
Democrats historically have
shunned vouchers, but some are
joiningthepushbymanyTeaPar-
ty-inspired Republicans. The mo-
mentum carries over from last
years congressional debate over
whether to extend the District of
Columbias voucher program.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-
Ohio, and other congressional
Republicans successfully pushed
for that program to be included
as part of a last-minute deal to av-
ert a federal shutdown.
Also last year, the school dis-
trict in Douglas County, an af-
fluent Denver suburb, adopted a
program, now stalled under
court order, that would allow up
to 500 students to receive about
$4,500eachinstate money touse
toward private school. Legal
challenges to the Colorado dis-
tricts program and the Arizona
one are pending.
The Friedman Foundation for
Educational Choice, an advocacy
group based in Indianapolis, esti-
mates that about 212,000 stu-
dents are using vouchers or tax
scholarship programs through
more than 30 such programs, 17
of which provide vouchers. The
group said that total has risen
from 36,000 students in 2000.
Teresa Meredith, an elemen-
tary school teacher in Shelby-
ville, Ind., andanofficer inthe In-
diana State Teachers Association
who is the lead plaintiff to the
state suit, said shes not opposed
to private schools. But when par-
ents choose to send their kids to
one, she said, they are making
the choice to pay for it.
If theyre not happy with their
local public school, then they
need to choose to make their lo-
cal public school better, not run
fromit, said Meredith, a mother
of four.
PedroNoguera, a sociologist at
New York University who spe-
cializes in urban education poli-
cy, said even with a voucher,
many students still cannot afford
or get into or find transportation
to more exclusive private
schools.
Battle continues over vouchers fate

LOS ANGELES Film fans
are still forking over for The
Hunger Games, which took in
$33.5 million to lead the box of-
ficefor athird-straight weekend.
Accordingtostudioestimates
Sunday, Lionsgates The Hun-
ger Games raised its domestic
total to $302.8 million. It easily
out-earned two returning favor-
ites, Universals American Pie
sequel American Reunion and
a 3-D version of the blockbuster
Titanic, released domestically
by Paramount and overseas by
20th Century Fox.
Both newcomers opened sol-
idly, though. American Re-
union pulled in $21.5 million,
the lowest haul since the 1999
original but still a decent return
for a comedy franchise whose
last big-screen chapter came
nine years ago.
Titanic in 3-D reeled in
$17.4 million over the weekend,
raising its domestic take to
$25.7 million since opening
Wednesday. That lifts the life-
time domestic gross of James
Camerons mega-hit to $626.5
million.
StarringJennifer Lawrence as
a teen forced to fight other
youths in a televised death
match, The Hunger Games
now has topped the domestic
gross of each of the Twilight
movies and all but the first and
last of the Harry Potter films.
With $25.5 million overseas,
The Hunger Games raised its
international total to $157.1mil-
lion. That put its worldwide
take at about $460 million.
The Hunger Games has
helped studios race to a record
box-office pace, with domestic
revenues for the year now at
$2.8 billion, up 20 percent from
2011s, according to box-office
tracker Hollywood.com.

Last summer citizens were asked to
list activities theyd like to see at Moon
Lake Park as part of a master plan that
will help determine the future of the
Luzerne County-owned complex in Ply-
mouth Town-
ship.
On April 18
the county will
publicly present
the proposed
plan incorporat-
ing some of
those activities
and the project-
ed costs and rev-
enue associated
with each, said
county Chief Engineer Joe Gibbons.
Camping was ranked highest by citi-
zens and a volunteer steering commit-
tee, followed by swimming, hiking, fish-
ing, nature education, special events,
shooting and archery, sports camps,
snow tubing, ice skating, rock climbing,
a dog park, zip lines, disc golf and fly-
ing radio-controlled aircraft, Gibbons
has said.
After the activities and financial esti-
mates are disclosed, the county will
seek public feedback at the hearing on
whether those uses make sense, Gib-
bons said.
The group also will discuss whether
any of the uses would be attractive to
private operators. County officials have

SCRANTON As a therapist, Larry
Rinish knows the treatment side of
substance abuse. As a former heroin
addict he knows the abuse side, too.
The 33-year-old Plains Township
man said he had been homeless and
living in Hollenback Park in Wilkes-
Barre, jailed and disowned by his fam-
ily. He sought treatment, but during
the wait to get into programs went
back to his habit.
I tried everything, he said last
week of getting clean and sober.
It was only after he said enough is
enough that he left behind his life as
an addict, started a new one and en-
tered the treatment field as a ther-
apist.
Rinish relied on those experiences
to set up a company planning to open
a halfway house for
adult women fresh
out of inpatient treat-
ment programs.
Redwood Recovery
Centers LLC has a
hearing for its project
at 614 Wyoming Ave.
on Thursday night

with general commercial zoning.
This is a project Ive been working
on for nearly five years, said Rinish.

Joe Agolino sat at a table near the
counter in his West Pittston restau-
rant, waving hello and making chit
chat with the patrons who walked in.
It was business as usual Easter Sun-
day at Agolinos Restaurant, an as-
tounding difference from the state the
popular local eatery was in only eight
months ago.
Its very humbling to see all the sup-
port weve had from everyone in the
community, Agolino said.
Agolinos re-opened in early Decem-
ber after the September flood waters
devastated the building. Easter Sun-
day has always been a busy day for the
business andthis year was nodifferent.
Absolutely, sold out, Agolino re-
plied when asked if the stream of cus-
tomers would stay steady throughout
day. Its actually been like this pretty
much every day since we re-opened.
Both sides of the dining room were
packed with those dressed in their
Sunday best, out to eat with family or
friends for the holiday. Aspecial Easter
menu was prepared for the day.
Im just happy that we had the abil-
ity to come back after everything that
happened.
Agolino said that, if anything, the
restaurants customer base has grown
since the flood.
Business for restaurants that were
affected by flood waters on the Sans
Souci Parkway in Hanover Township
was present, but certainly not as
strong.
Its odd, but were kind of dead to-
day, Alice Matyas, owner of Austies
Family Restaurant, said. Weve been
doing fantastic business on weekends,
though. We actually normally have ex-
tra staff on Sundays, but for some rea-
son its just not like that today.
Up the road at Mas Family Restau-
rant, owner Kathy Nichols was having
a little better luck.
We opened at 6:30 this morning,
and weve been doing pretty well, Ni-
chols said. This is the first Easter
weve been open here, so I dont really
have much to compare it to, but weve
definitely had some business today.

have kept crude oil prices elevat-
ed for months. The oil used to
make most of the gasoline in the
U.S. has averaged $120 per barrel
this year.
This years spring surge is
moreextremethanusual because
three refineries that serve the
East Coast were shut down last
fall and another one may be
closed in July. Thats threatening
supplies in one of the countrys
most densely populated regions,
and pushing prices higher every-
where.
Demand for gasoline tends to
drop off in winter. That makes it
the perfect time for refineries to
get ready for summer, when the
objective is to produce as much
fuel as possible. The catch is that
the refining industrys version of
spring cleaning causes supplies
to shrink and prices to rise. To be
specific:
Refineries need major main-
tenance once every four years, on
average. On a practical level, that
means one-fourth of the nations
refining capacity is temporarily
shut down in the first quarter of
every year. Because the U.S. has
half the number of refineries it
did in1980, a delay in getting one
or two back up and running has a
greater impact than in the past.
TocomplywiththeCleanAir
Act and limit smog, refiners have
to make a special blend of gaso-
line that doesnt easily evaporate
in the warmsummer air. The fuel
is 5 to 15 cents a gallon more ex-
pensive to make because of raw
material costs.
The nationwide fuel supply
cant be transformed overnight.
Between April 1, when refiners
must start making the summer
blend, and June 1, when retailers
have to be selling it, supplies be-
come uncertain, and prices at the
pump rise.
During this period when refin-
ers are doing maintenance and
making summer gasoline, the
odds of anunexpectedsupplydis-
ruption rise, analysts say.
To protect themselves against
this possibility, energy traders
buy wholesale gasoline futures
on financial exchanges. That
pushes wholesale gasoline prices
up.
Distributors and gas station
owners buy gasoline every day
based on a price set on ex-
changes. Station owners then
change their prices based on how
much their last shipment cost,
how much the next shipment is
likely to cost and what their clos-
est competitors are charging.
Retailers can go back to selling
winter blends on Sept. 15. While
its not required, most do so be-
cause it is less expensive.
Seasonal price swings are not
unique to the energy business.
Flights to Europe are more ex-
pensive in summer, when travel
demand rises, and strawberries
and tomatoes get more costly in
winter because they must be
shippedfromfar-flungplaces. Yet
when it comes to gasoline and
spring price hikes, drivers dont
want tohear about supplyandde-
mandor higher productioncosts.
Tony Kost of Leesburg, Fla.,
who commutes 80 miles round-
trip a day for work, says its hard
to buy the industrys explanation
for the seasonal price spikes.
He has a simpler, if unproven,
theory: Oil industry price fix-
ing.
The oil industry has inflated
the price of gasoline, says Kost,
who paid $3.91 a gallon the last
time he tanked up.
There are some consolations
for Kost and other drivers. Even
though it may not feel like it, gas-
oline prices do usually dip after
their spring peak. Last year gaso-
line fell from $3.98 per gallon on
May 5 to $3.55 on July 1 and fin-
ished the year at $3.28.
Also, summer gasoline blends
improve fuel economy by 1 per-
cent to 2 percent. That means
drivers will at least get to go a lit-
tle bit farther on that pricey tank
of gas.

VATICAN CITY
Pope celebrates Easter
P
ope Benedict XVI implored the
Syrian regime Sunday to heed in-
ternational demands to end the blood-
shed and expressed hope that the joy of
Easter will comfort Christian commu-
nities suffering because of their faith.
Benedict, struggling with hoarseness
and looking tired, celebrated Mass on
Christianitys most joyous holy day on
the flower-adorned steps of St. Peters
Basilica, before a crowd of faithful that
swelled to far over 100,000 by the end
of the 2-hour-long ceremony.
Only hours earlier the pontiff, who
turns 85 on April 16, had led a long
nighttime vigil service in the church.
There have been concerns over his
health, and he has recently used a cane
in public appearances. He no longer
walks down the basilicas long aisle,
traveling instead aboard a wheeled
platform pushed by aides.
CHARLESTON, N.Y.
More cleanups in N.Y., Vt.
Seven months after the deluge of
Tropical Storm Irene, cleanups contin-
ue and worries remain in upstate New
York and Vermont.
Farmers are still grappling with
crop-smothering rocks, trees, gravel
and sand left behind when the flood
waters receded. And theyre also con-
cerned that the gray or even sandy
white soil left behind by Irene will
affect yields.
Some local governments worry
about new floods as they continue to
clear piles of trees, rocks and house-
hold debris from stream banks.
Rural, hilly areas in New York and
Vermont were hit especially hard hit by
flooding when Irene soaked the East
Coast last August.
In the Adirondacks, Essex County
officials say there is still a tremendous
amount of debris to remove along
rivers and tributaries.
LAGOS, NIGERIA
Car bomb kills 38 people
A suicide car bomber detonated his
explosives Sunday morning on a busy
road after apparently turning away
from attacking Nigerian churches hold-
ing Easter services, killing at least 38
people in a massive blast that rattled a
city long at the center of religious,
ethnic and political violence in the
nation.
The blast struck Kaduna, the capital
of Kaduna state, leaving charred motor-
cycles and debris strewn across a major
road in the city where many gather to
eat at informal restaurants and buy
black market gasoline. The explosion
badly damaged the nearby All Nations
Christian Assembly Church and the
ECWA Good News Church as church-
goers worshipped at an Easter service,
the possible target of the bomber.
TEHRAN, IRAN
Istanbul to host nuke talks
An Iranian state television station
reported Sunday that international
negotiations about the countrys dis-
puted nuclear program will take place
in Istanbul, indicating that disagree-
ments over the venue that had threat-
ened to derail the talks may be resolv-
ed.
But there was no confirmation how-
ever from Turkey nor from the six
world powers involved in the Friday
meeting the five permanent U.N.
Security Council members and Germa-
ny that Iran had confirmed its par-
ticipation.
Iranian officials had earlier dismissed
Turkey as a host because of Ankaras
criticism of Iran ally Syria.

Remembering after Easter tragedy
Easter flowers and a balloon are
placed in front of a burned home in
Florence, N.J., Sunday after a woman
and a young girl were killed early
Sunday morning when a fast-moving
fire left them trapped on the second
floor, authorities said.
Mike Wallace, who pioneered and
then dominated the enduringly pop-
ular TV newsmagazine "60 Minutes,"
died Saturday night, CBS announced.
He was 93.
Wallace, who had triple heart bypass
surgery in early 2008, died in New
Haven, Conn., his colleague Bob
Schieffer said Sunday morning on
CBSs "Face the Nation."
Known for his often caustic ques-
tioning of sometimes reluctant sub-
jects on "60 Min-
utes," Wallace was
the first CBS network
correspondent to
work beyond age 65
in a medium dom-
inated by young
faces.
The veteran broad-
caster was already 50 when "60 Min-
utes" debuted in 1968. He stayed with
the newsmagazine for 38 years, step-
ping down as a full-time correspondent
in 2006. He made occasional appear-
ances after that. His final interview,
which aired in January 2008, was with
baseball pitcher Roger Clemens.
"Lets face it," Wallace, who had a
pacemaker and two hearing aids, told
People magazine in 2006. "Im not 85
anymore."
As the self-described "black hat" of
"60 Minutes," he traveled the world,
displaying his charm and wit and ask-
ing sometimes barbed, always pene-
trating questions of kings and presi-
dents, business magnates and bureau-
crats.
Of the roughly 800 pieces he did for
the show, two stood out the most for
him, Wallace told The Associated
Press in 2006.
One showed his tender side as Wal-
lace persuaded piano virtuoso Vladi-
mir Horowitz to play "Stars and
Stripes Forever" in 1977. The other, in
1979, showed Wallaces tough side as
he became the first Western reporter
to interview Irans Ayatollah Ruhollah
Khomeini after 53 American hostages
were taken in Tehran. To his face, Wal-
lace quoted Egyptian President Anwar
Sadat as calling Khomeini a lunatic.
"I figured what was he going to do,
take me as a hostage?" Wallace said in
the AP story. "The translator looked at
me as if I were a lunatic."
When he interviewed Nation of Is-
lam minister Louis Farrakhan in 2000,
Wallace set an incendiary tone: "You
dont trust the media; youve said so.
You dont trust whites; youve said so.
You dont trust Jews; youve said so.
Well, here I am."
"So what?" Farrakhan responded.
Wallaces search for skullduggery
was such that that beer magnate Jo-
seph Coors once said: "The four most
frightening words in the English lan-
guage are Mike Wallace is here. "
The comment was adapted into a
"60 Minutes" ad, and Wallace dis-
played a framed copy in his office.

the master of the tough interview.
He died Saturday night at age 93.

BEIRUT A U.N.-brokered
plan to stop the bloodshed in Sy-
ria effectively collapsed Sunday
after President Bashar Assads
government raisednew, last-min-
ute demands that the countrys
largest rebel group swiftly reject-
ed.
The truce
plan, devised
by U.N.-Arab
League envoy
Kofi Annan,
was supposed
togointoeffect
on Tuesday,
with a with-
drawal of Syrian forces frompop-
ulation centers, followed within
48 hours by a cease-fire by both
sides in the uprising against four
decades of repressive rule by the
Assad family.
But on Sunday, Syrias Foreign
Ministry said that ahead of any
troop pullback, the government
needs written guarantees from
opposition fighters that they will
lay down their weapons.
The commander of the rebel
Free Syrian Army, Riad al-Asaad,
said that while his group is ready
toabidebyatruce, it doesnot rec-
ognize the regime and for that
reason we will not give guaran-
tees.
Annans spokesman had no
comment onthe setback. The en-
voy has not said what would hap-
penif his deadlines were ignored.
Evenbeforethesetback, expec-
tations were low that the Assad
regime would honor the agree-
ment.
Russia, an Assad ally that sup-
ports the cease-fire plan, may
now be the only one able to sal-
vage it. The rest of the interna-
tional community, unwilling to
contemplate military interven-
tion, haslittleleverageoverSyria.
In recent days, instead of pre-
paring for a withdrawal, regime
troops have stepped up shelling
attacks on residential areas, kill-
ing dozens of civilians every day
in what the opposition described
as a frenzied rush to gain ground.
Activists said at least 21 people
werekilledinviolenceonSunday
and as many as 40.
Mortar rounds are falling like
rain, said activist Tarek Badrak-
han, describing an assault in the
central city of Homs on Sunday.
He spoke via Skype as explosions
were heard in the background.
The regime is exploiting the
truce plan to kill and commit
massacres, he said.
Just asAnnancomplainedSun-
daythat theescalationwasunac-
ceptable, Syria said its accept-
ance of the Annan deal last week
was misunderstood and suggest-
ed it would not be able to with-
draw its troops under current
conditions.

TONGCHANG-RI, North Korea
North Korean space officials have moved
all three stages of a long-range rocket into
position for a controversial launch, vow-
ing Sunday to push ahead with their plan
in defiance of international warnings
against violatinga banonmissile activity.
The Associated Press was among for-
eign news agencies allowed a firsthand
look at preparations under way at the
coastal Sohae Satellite Station in north-
western North Korea.
North Korea announced plans last
month to launch an observation satellite
using a three-stage rocket during mid-
April celebrations of the 100th anniver-
sary of the birth of North Korean founder
KimIl Sung. The U.S., Japan, Britain and
other nations have urged North Korea to
cancel the launch, warning that firing the
long-range rocket would violate U.N. res-
olutions and North Koreas promise to re-
frain from engaging in nuclear and mis-
sile activity.
North Korea maintains that the launch
is a scientific achievement intended to
improve the nations faltering economy
byprovidingdetailedsurveys of thecoun-
tryside.
Our country has the right and also the
obligation to develop satellites and
launching vehicles, Jang Myong Jin,
general manager of the launch facility,
said during a tour, citing the U.N. space
treaty. Nomatter what others say, we are
doing this for peaceful purposes.
Experts say the Unha-3 rocket slated
for liftoff between April 12 and 16 could
also test long-range missile technology
that might be used to strike the U.S. and
other targets.
North Korea has tested two atomic de-
vices, but is not believed to have mas-
tered the technology needed to mount a
warhead on a long-range missile.
On Sunday, reporters were taken by
train past desolate fields and sleepy farm-
ing hamlets to North Koreas new launch
pad in Tongchang-ri in North Phyongan
province, about 50 kilometers (35 miles)
south of the border town of Sinuiju along
North Koreas west coast.
All three stages of the 91-ton rocket,
emblazoned with the North Korean flag
and Unha-3, were visibly in position at
the towering launch pad, and fueling will
begin soon, Jang said. He said prepara-
tions were well ontrackfor liftoff andthat
international space, aviation and mari-
time authorities had been advised of the
plan, but did not provide exact details on
the timing of the fueling or the mounting
of the satellite.
Engineers gave reporters a peek at the
220-pound Kwangmyongsong-3 satellite
due to be mounted on the rocket, as well
as a tour of the command center.

NEW YORK The U.S. natural gas
market is bursting at the seams.
So much natural gas is being produced
that soon there may be nowhere left to
put the countrys swelling surplus. After
years of explosive growth, natural gas
producers are retrenching.
The underground salt caverns, deplet-
ed oil fields and aquifers that store nat-
ural gas arerapidlyfillingupafter abalmy
winter depressed demand for home heat-
ing.
The glut has benefited businesses and
homeowners that use natural gas. But
with natural gas prices at a10-year low
and falling companies that produce
the fuel are becoming victims of their
drilling successes. Their stock prices are
falling in anticipation of declining profits
and scaled-back growth plans.
Some of the nations biggest natural
gas producers, including Chesapeake En-
ergy, ConocoPhillips and Encana Corp.,
have announced plans to slow down.
Theyve gotten way ahead of them-
selves, and winter got way ahead of them
too, says Jen Snyder, head of North
American gas for the research firmWood
Mackenzie. There hasnt been enough
demand to use up all the supply being
pushed into the market.
So far, efforts to limit production have
barely made a dent. Unless the pace of
production declines sharply or demand
picks up significantly this summer, analy-
sts saythe nations storage facilities could
reach their limits by fall.
That would cause the price of natural
gas, which has been halved over the past
year, to nosedive. Citigroup commodities
analyst Anthony Yuen says the price of
natural gas now $2.08 per 1,000 cubic
feet could briefly fall below $1.
There would be no floor, he says.
Since October, the number of drilling
rigs exploringfor natural gas has fallenby
30 percent to 658, according to the ener-
gy services company Baker Hughes.
Some of the sharpest drop-offs have been
in the Haynesville Shale in Northwestern
LouisianaandEast Texas andtheFayette-
ville Shale in Central Arkansas.

4 have to flee Wilkes-Barre fire
A fire Sunday afternoon caused heavy damage to the sec-
ond floor of a four-unit apartment building at the rear of
1336 N. Washington St. Wilkes-Barre Fire Chief Jay Delaney
said the cause is under investigation. All of the apartments
were occupied and everyone got out safely. The fire was
knocked down fairly quickly, said Delaney. A neighbor,
Cindy Davison, said she smelled smoke and saw fire when
she went onto her back porch. It was a big flame, said
Davison. She ran to the building to alert the occupants,
telling them, Get out. Theres a fire, she said. All four
occupants were going to stay with family or friends for the
night, added Delaney.
Women, including those with
children, will be able move into
the center from treatment pro-
viders such as Marworth and
Clear Brook Inc. The clients,
who must have a non-violent
criminal record, will have access
to counseling and educational
programs and must seek and
maintain employment during
their 90-day stays.
We work directly with a lot
of community agencies that sup-
port that effort, said Rinish of
finding jobs for the clients.
Redwood also will collaborate
with other agencies to address
the day care and educational
needs of the children of the cli-
ents, he said.
The center will provide much-
needed services to an under-
served group, he added.
This is the third of its kind
in the state, said Rinish. The
other centers are in Philadel-
phia and Harrisburg.
Among the advantages of hav-
ing a local center are treatment
dollars stay in Northeastern
Pennsylvania and the payment
of taxes to the municipality, Rin-
ish said.
Redwood will lease the space
from the owner of the building,
East Scranton Properties LLC,
who will use its money to reno-
vate the property.
Rinish estimated the owner
will spend between $2 million
and $2.5 million on the build
out. Redwood will use its mon-
ey and seek other sources to
fund the operation.
To start off, it will serve 26
clients and expand to between
50 and 60 beds within three
months of opening, he said.
There will be between 10 and 15
staff members at maximum oc-
cupancy of 60 clients. The focus
will be on women , but if neces-
sary men will be accepted.
Rinish acknowledged he has
been named as defendant in a
lawsuit filed by a company he
previously was associated with.
Not every partnership turns out
to be 100 percent successful, he
said.
Redwood has plans for other
treatment facilities.
Rinish said he is looking at
other properties in Luzerne
County with the intent of open-
ing a facility in cooperation with
a non-profit organization to
serve veterans. And he is look-
ing at opening an outpatient fa-
cility in Wyoming County.

ALLENTOWN Thousands
of Penn State graduates angered
over the way the Board of Trust-
ees handled the Jerry Sandusky
sex scandal will finally get to do
something about it, casting bal-
lots for three open alumni seats
in a hotly contested election with
dozens of candidates.
A record 86 candidates are vy-
ing for spots on a board that has
been roundly criticized for firing
coach Joe Paterno over his hand-
ling of an abuse allegation
against Sandusky, a retired foot-
ball assistant charged with sex-
ually abusing 10 boys over a 15-
year period. He has denied the al-
legations.
Voting begins Tuesday and
runs through 9 a.m. May 3, with
results to be announced at the
May 4 Board of Trustees meet-
ing. All alumni more than
550,000 strong are eligible to
cast a ballot.
Paternos forced departure af-
ter 61 years with the school out-
raged many former players and
alumni, who assert the trustees
rushed to judgment. Many of the
trustee candidates are demand-
ing that Penn State apologize to
the Paterno family and rename
Beaver Stadium in honor of the
legendary coach, who died of
lung cancer in January at age 85.
The board has said it removed
Paterno and longtime President
Graham Spanier on Nov. 9
four days after Sanduskys arrest
because they failed to do more
torespondtoa2002report froma
graduate assistant who told Pa-
terno he saw Sandusky sexually
abusing a boy in the showers of
the football building. Paternos
supporters say he properly re-
ported the alleged assault to his
supervisor, and was scapegoated
by trustees frantic to contain the
fallout from the scandal.
Joe Paterno was sacrificed
andit was because of the howling
mob in the media, said 1975
graduate Barbara Doran, 58, a
private wealth manager at Mor-
gan Stanley and one of three can-
didates endorsed by Penn Staters
for Responsible Stewardship, an
alumni group calling for dramat-
ic changes to the way Penn State
is run.
At the same time, Doran said,
shes heartenedthat somanypeo-
ple have taken an interest in uni-
versity governance. A typical
trustee electiononly draws about
a half-dozen candidates.
It says that you have amazing,
dedicated, interestedalumni that
so care about the university they
want to personally get involved,
she said.
Most candidates say the Sand-
usky scandal highlighted the
needfor a shake-upat PennState.
Their ideas include greater trans-
parency and termlimits for trust-
ees, and a restructuring of the
board to give more seats to alum-
ni and fewer to the governor and
business and agricultural inter-
ests. Alumni hold nine of the 32
seats on the board, with three
elected each year for three-year
terms.
Candidate Ben Novak, 69, said
hes under no illusions that
change will come easily, given
what he said was the boards re-
luctance to meet with alumni
groups and the fact that only
three seats are up for grabs. He
predicted the board will agree to
minor concessions while resist-
ing a major overhaul.
I wouldhope this boardwould
welcome any new alumni and
would be very solicitous of their
ideas, said Novak, a retired at-
torneywhoservedas atrusteefor
12 years until 2000. This board
will not easily agree to most any
of what the people have in mind.

CHICAGO Accustomed
to wearing Vera Wang gowns
on red carpets, singing at the
Grammys or autographing her
weight-loss memoir, Oscar
winner Jennifer Hudson will
take on a new role under a ve-
ry different spotlight in
Chicagos drab criminal courts
building at the trial of the man
charged with murdering her
mother, brother and 7-year-old
nephew.
The Hollywood stars pres-
ence, and the accompanying
media hubbub, is bound to af-
fect the proceedings, which
begins today. Thats when pre-
siding Judge Charles Burns
plans to start questioning
would-be jurors one by one,
trying to weed out anyone
who could be swayed by Hud-
sons celebrity status.
Hudson is expected to be at
the trial every day once testi-
mony begins, court officials
say, and shes on the 300-name
list of witnesses who could
testify. While the judge will
warn prospective jurors to
avoid watching TV coverage
of the trial, they may see Hud-
son on American Idol on
Thursday.
Legal experts widely agree
on the No. 1 challenge at trials
involving megastars: Its iden-
tifying 12 jurors able and will-
ing to assess guilt solely on
what they hear in court.
Hudson will need to refrain
from overt displays of emotion
as potentially starstruck ju-
rors eyes dart back at her, said
Gerald Uelmen, a defense at-
torney at O.J. Simpsons mur-
der trial.
The risk is that jurors may
be watching her rather than
testifying witnesses, and they
could be influenced by how she
reacts, he said. She would be
well advised not to engage in any
facial expressions or outbursts.
That could be grounds for a mis-
trial.
Prosecutors say William Bal-
four, the 30-year-old estranged
husband of Hudsons sister, shot
the family in a jealous rage be-
cause Julia Hudson was dating
another man. Jennifer Hudson, al-
so 30, and Balfour grew up in the
same South Side neighborhood.
The bodies of Hudsons moth-
er, Darnell Donerson, 57, and
brother, Jason Hudson, 29, were
found shot to death in the fam-
ilys home on Oct. 24, 2008. The
body of her nephew, Julian
King, was found days later in a
vehicle several miles away.
Balfours attorneys have said
the evidence is circumstantial,
though prosecutors say proof he
committed the crime will in-
clude gun residue found on his
cars steering wheel.
Adored by many Chicagoans,
Hudson will pose a stark con-
trast to Balfour, a short man
with a long criminal record. He
was a one-time Gangster Disci-
ples gang member and known
by his street name, Flex, ac-
cording to court documents.
The dilemma posed by Bal-
fours trial became clear last
week, when 150 potential jurors
filled out their questionnaires in
court. Nine of the 66 questions
dealt with Hudsons career:
Would-be jurors were asked if
theyd ever seen her Academy
Award-winning film Dream-
girls and if they belong to an
organization for which Hudson
is a spokesperson, presumably a
reference to Weight Watchers.
It was obvious many potential
jurors had heard of the killings,
some gasping when the judge
first read the name of the case.
And when Burns asked if any-
one felt they couldnt hear the
evidence without sympathy, bi-
as or prejudice to step up, he
looked on with apparent alarm
as five, 15, then 20 people rose.
He finally told everyone to sit
down and disregard the ques-
tion, for now.
Hudson celebrity status impacts trial
Star will be at trial for man
charged with murdering

We consistently (opposed parole)
and will continue to do so.
Sandi Gibbons
The spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County
district attorneys office said it would vigorously
oppose Charles Mansons release during this weeks
parole board hearing. Manson, now 77, and others were convicted of
killing actress Sharon Tate and six other people in 1969.
IN THE early hours of April
15, 1912, the Titanic, a luxu-
ry passenger liner making
its maiden voyage from
Southampton, England, to
New York City, struck an
iceberg in the North Atlan-
tic.
Titanic, billed as unsinkable, plummet-
ed two miles to the bottom of the ocean
floor in just two and a half hours. Of the
2,240 people aboard, 1,517 perished either
by drowning or by freezing in the frigid
ocean waters.
A U.S. inquiry board found Capt. Edward
J. Smith responsible for the tragedy, citing
his indifference to danger and overconfi-
dence and neglect in steering the ship into
an ice field while traveling too fast for the
conditions. For 100 years, Smiths reputation
has been sullied. While he bore the ultimate
responsibility for the tragedy, there were
others in positions of authority who also
were culpable but escaped the scrutiny of
history.
Capt. Smith was by experience and ability
the most respected commander of the White
Star Line, the British shipping company that
operated Titanic. Smith, a native of Henley,
England, joined the company in 1880 and
captained 18 ships, having sailed an estimat-
ed 2 million miles before taking command of
the Titanic. It was to be his last voyage be-
fore retiring at age 62.
At 9 p.m. April 14, Smith, concerned that
the vessel was entering an ice zone, excused
himself from a dinner party. He headed for
the bridge at the front of the boat deck and
spent the next few hours charting a safe
course. Contrary to popular belief, Smith
was not trying to break records, for the
Titanic could never match the speed of a
Cunard liner. Maintaining speed in the vicin-
ity of ice was accepted practice by captains
of all liners who did so to adhere to sched-
uled mail deliveries.
The sea was calm, the sky cloudless and
full of stars, allowing plenty of time to iden-
tify and avoid any obstacles in the ships
path. But as a routine precaution, the cap-
tain, before retiring to his quarters, ordered
the lookout to watch for icebergs.
About 11:40 p.m., the lookout, Frederick
Fleet, saw a small iceberg directly ahead.
But as the ship drew closer he realized that
the berg was considerably bigger. Only then
did he sound the warning bell. The delay
proved to be fatal.
First Officer William Murdoch ordered a
sharp change of direction and reversed en-
gines in order to avert a collision. For more
than 20 seconds, however, the bow contin-
ued to steam straight ahead. The iceberg,
towering 100 feet above the surface, was
only 500 yards away. Murdoch should have
left the engines full ahead not reverse to
make a sharp turn.
Titanic sideswiped the iceberg on the
starboard (right) side, punching a series of
gashes and holes along 250 feet of the hull.
Smith, awakened by the collision, rushed to
the bridge and was briefed by Murdoch.
During a quick inspection, Smith and Tho-
mas Andrews, the ships architect, discov-
ered that five of the ships forward compart-
ments were severely damaged. Massive
flooding already had begun. Andrews be-
lieved the damage fatal, estimating that
Titanic had two hours, at most, before it
sank.
Smith immediately ordered the lifeboats
uncovered and the passengers awakened. He
then instructed radio operators to send
distress signals and, later, when a light was
spotted on the horizon, had rockets
launched from the bridge. But there were no
ships in wireless contact, or close enough to
render immediate assistance.
Smith was severely criticized for the 60
minutes he took to assess the situation and
to order the lifeboats loaded and lowered.
But he had good reason. He knew Titanic
had only 20 lifeboats with a total capacity of
1,100, insufficient to evacuate all 2,240 pas-
sengers.
The shortage was due to British Board of
Trades outdated maritime safety regulations
as well as the White Star Lines misconcep-
tion that Titanics unsinkable design
would enable her to stay afloat long enough
for passengers to be transferred safely to a
rescue vessel. Nor was the crew adequately
trained in evacuation procedures a respon-
sibility shared by the Board of Trade, White
Star and Smith with the result that the
evacuation was poorly managed and many
of the lifeboats left half-empty.
During Titanics final moments the cap-
tain continued to call out orders and assist
in the evacuation. At one point, he drew his
pistol and ordered a group of sailors to get
out of a lifeboat where they had squirreled
themselves away.
When Titanic finally sank at 2:18 a.m.,
Smith went down with the ship. If his body
was recovered, it was never identified.
Titanic captain wasnt only one responsible for tragedy

COMMENTARY
W I L L I A M C . K A S H A T U S
T
HE U.S. SUPREME
Court should strike
down four troubling
provisions of Arizo-
nas anti-illegal-immigration
law. They conflict with federal
laws and shouldnt become
models for states grappling
with illegal immigration.
The federal government has
exclusive authority over immi-
gration enforcement. One can
debate the efficacy of federal ef-
forts, but Arizonas 2010 immi-
gration law was a wronghead-
ed attempt to supersede feder-
al law.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals blockedkeyprovisions
of the law, including requiring
law enforcement to question
people about their immigra-
tion status, ask for documenta-
tion and detain those without
it. Arguments that this could
lead to racial profiling are per-
suasive. The immigration sta-
tus of people arrested also
would have to be determined
before they could be released.
The appeals court blocked
other odious provisions, in-
cluding making it a state crime
for illegal immigrants to try to
find work and allowing police
to make arrests without war-
rants if they have probable
cause to suspect individuals
committed crimes that could
make them deportable under
federal law.
Placing the burden of immi-
gration enforcement on local
policeis impractical andexpen-
sive. Hard-won relationships
between law enforcement and
immigrant communities
would be damaged if Arizonas
law becomes a model for other
states.

LL THAT ARMY Na-

Spec. Dennis Weichel
knewwhen a group of
children neared his convoy in
Marchwas that they couldbe in
danger. The Afghan children, in
a northeastern province, were
in the area trying to retrieve
shell casings at a firing range to
sell for scrap.
Weichel leaped fromhis vehi-
cle to get the children to safety.
But thenone of themdartedun-
der a vehicle, whereupon Wei-
chel crawled under that vehicle
and pushed the child out of the
way. The youngster made it.
Weichel was run over and
killed.
Civilian casualties are an un-
fortunate reality of war, despite
American efforts to limit them.
Then there are awful aberra-
tions suchas thedeaths of17Af-
ghan civilians, allegedly at the
hands of a U.S. soldier who has
been charged with 17 counts of
murder. That incident was hor-
rific, andthere was noreasonor
excuse for it.
But most members of U.S.
forces do all within their power,
evenputting themselves indan-
ger in the case of Weichel,
deadly danger to help civil-
ians. AndAfghanciviliansknow
it. Of the contrast between Wei-
chels action and that of Army
Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, charged
in those 17 killings, one Afghan
who happens to be the uncle of
the boy Weichel saved, said, As
youknow, all five fingers onone

UCH LIKE STATE
lawmakers in New
York who heralded
their ethics reform
package last year, Congress is
heaping great praise on itself
for passing a law banning in-
sider trading and bringing
more light to the financial
transactions of federally elect-
ed officials.
It is about time this double
standard will end.
Yet much like state lawmak-
ers, what Congress has done to
clean up its own behavior
doesnt go far enough and
morereforms areclearlyneces-
sary.
The U.S. Senate and House
of Representatives now have
passed legislation clarifying
that members of Congress are
subject to federal anti-fraud
laws covering stock trading.
Congress took this action af-
ter the CBS60 Minutes news
program revealed several dis-
turbing examples ranging
from the actions of House
Speaker John Boehner, R-
Ohio, to House Minority Lead-
er Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. in
which lawmakers benefited fi-
nancially by having knowledge
of information before it be-
came public.

Writer seeks responses
to many vexing questions
I
hope someone can answer these ques-
tions.
Why are they remodeling the baseball
stadium when, as of last week, the Lacka-
wanna County commissioners are trying to
sell the team and the Yankees seemingly
wont confirm if they will come back to
Scranton next year?
Why hasnt Luzerne Countys district
attorney charged that Kingston attorney
with theft by deception for allegedly dou-
ble billing? Everyone knows you cant
charge twice for the same work.
Also, why is a detective who works for
the district attorneys office making more
than $100,000 a year?
And now, the last topic: What happened
to the $6 million spent on the Hotel Ster-
ling? As I remember, CityVest said it was
paying someone to take care of the build-
ing. So, why is it falling apart?
I have more questions; but I would like
to see these answered before they are for-
gotten.

Reader says studies prove
dangers of contraceptive
I
n 1963 Pope Paul VI warned the laity of
the dangers of contraception, especially
to marriages and to society. His pre-
dictions have come to pass, but unbek-
nownst to him are dangers caused by the
contraceptive pill itself. These dangers
have been revealed by studies done by the
American Medical Association in 1990 and
1995 and the Mayo Clinic in the early
2000s.
The AMA in 2002 released a paper show-
ing that hormone replacement therapy,
which uses a low-dose estrogen prepara-
tion, increased the incidence of breast,
lung and colorectal cancers in women who
took the pill.
In 2006, the Mayo Clinic published a
study that showed the contraceptive pill
increased the incidence of breast, liver and
cervical cancers.
The World Health Organization classifies
the contraceptive pill as a grade 1 carcino-
gen.
The church, by standing up for religious
freedom, is saving women from a drug that
can cause cancers and blood clots. Both of
these conditions have been fatal in a lot of
women.

47.60 percent of Luzerne County
seventh-graders were not in com-
pliance. The statewide average
was 23.92 percent. In Lackawan-
na County, the rate was 36.49per-

better with 17.25 percent of stu-

what the state has to work with,
he faults a breakdown in commu-
nication between students,
school districts and the state as
reasons why the figures are so
high. He said school nurses and
administrators need to make it a
point to request vaccination doc-
uments to keep up-to-date files.
Holli Senior, a Department of
Health spokeswoman, said she
couldnt disagree with Law-
rences comments, and was hope-
ful the number of students not
current on vaccinations is much
lower. She said the point of the
state highlighting those figures
was to encourage parents to get
their children immunized.
Lawrence said since the Octo-
ber report he has no doubt the
vaccination rates went up as
schools worked to comply with
the state recommendations.
The state gave families several
months starting from the first
day of school in each district to
come into compliance with the
new vaccination requirements.
The Department of Health has
been reminding schools of the
deadline, providing educational
materials to schools and stake-
holders, and offering vaccines to
students who are underinsured
or uninsured through its Vac-
cines for Children program.
When the current school year
began, families were given an
eight-month provisional period
to get their students up-to-date
with their vaccinations, said Dr.
Eli Avila, Secretary of the Penn-
sylvania Department of Health.
This period is coming to an end,
so we are reminding families to
make sure school-aged children
are immunized.
Individual school districts
make their own policies for stu-
dents that arent vaccinated. The
state does not have authority to
punish students, Senior said. She
noted each school district could
pass policies that range from re-
moving students from school to
sending letters home to explain
the policy and the importance of
the vaccinations.
New immunization regula-
tions that took effect last August
require children in all grades to
receive a second dose of mumps
vaccine as well as a second dose
of the chicken pox vaccine.
They also require students in
seventhgrade tohave one dose of
meningococcal conjugate vac-
cine (MCV4) and one dose of the
tetanus, diphtheria and acellular
pertussis vaccine (Tdap). All vac-
cinations must be appropriately
spaced to be considered valid.
The extra vaccinations bring
Pennsylvania in line with recom-
mendations from the U.S. Cen-
ters for Disease Control and Pre-
vention.
Senior said vaccinations not
only prevent disease in people
who receive them, but also pro-
tect those who come in contact
with unvaccinated individuals in-
cluding those who are too young
to be vaccinated or individuals
who cannot be vaccinated for
medical reasons.
She noted that while the U.S.
has seen dramatic reductions in
vaccine-preventable diseases,
Pennsylvania, inrecent years, has
seen a resurgence of mumps,
measles and pertussis or
whooping cough. The low levels
of vaccine-preventable diseases
at the national level show immu-
nizations work as intended to
keepchildrenhealthybycontroll-
ing the spread of infectious dis-
eases.
VACCINES
Wilkes-Barre, with the assistance
of the State Department of Health,
has designed a vaccination clinic
program that is free to greater
Luzerne County students that
need vaccinations:
The Wilkes-Barre Health Depart-
ment will be at Kistler Elementary
School on Friday, between 1 p.m.
and 3:30 p.m.
On the same day the depart-
ment will be at the Kirby Memorial
Health Center between 4:30 and
7:30 p.m. offering free chicken pox
vaccine shots and a limited num-
ber of Tdap shots.
The states District Health Clinic,
at 665 Carey Ave., Hanover Town-
ship, will hold extended vaccina-
tion clinic hours this week from11
a.m. to 7 p.m. offering MCV4, Tdap
and the chicken pox vaccine. The
following vaccinations also will be
available: VAR, Polio, MMR and
Hep B. Call 1-877 PA HEALTH to
schedule an appointment.
Children in need of the vaccines
must be accompanied by a parent
or legal guardian. Advanced regis-
tration can be completed online at:

erators who would cover staffing
and maintenance in exchange
for revenue opportunities at the
park, eliminating the need for
county funding.
The county must formally
adopt the final master plan.
The state may cover 50 per-
cent of recreational improve-
ments at the 650-acre facility,
but the state wont turn over
more funding until the county
completes the master plan. The
county will be responsible for
park maintenance.
Gibbons said he will discuss
state feedback on the park at the
hearing.
County officials have applied
for state funding to build a boat
launch because it has been iden-
tified as a need. Boats with elec-
tric motors are not permitted on
the lake.
The park has been open week-
ends only in recent weeks be-
cause of security staff layoffs,
but county officials came up
with a plan to reopen the park
daily from the second week of
April into November.
The parks water and electri-
cal distribution systems, sewage
treatment plant, pool and camp-
grounds need costly repairs, offi-
cials have said.
Sasaki Associates Inc., Water-
town, Mass., is completing the
master plan.

Ive been juggling since I was
7, he saidRinny. I wouldlike to
learn everything about jug-
gling.
Hes a fourth generation per-
former who has chosen the cir-
cus as his career.
At this date it wouldnt be a
good idea to stop, he said.
Besides juggling, he pedals
about atopa seven-level unicycle
and mesmerizes audiences with
his balancing skills on the Rolla-
Bolla cylinders.
There are only three or four
people in the world who can bal-
ance on eight cylinders like him,
he said, and in the United
States nobody does it besides
him.
Rinnys devotion to perform-
ing is common among circus
people, said Billy Martin, ring-
master of the circus.
It involves whole families,
he said. Many of the people in
the show are sixth and seventh
generation circus performers.
I was born in the circus, said
50-year-old Carlos McIntyre.
He and his wife, Marleny, and
daughters, Francy and Carla, left
their home in Chile to join the
show as jugglers.
It runs in the family, said19-
year-old Francy.
Life on the road is not for ev-
eryone. This showstarted at the
first of the year and ends in mid-
December, said Martin.
The circus traveled 905 miles
from St. Louis, Mo, to Wilkes-
Barre, said Martin. The next
stop is Altoona and then on to
Binghamton. When it arrives at
a destination, the performers
shop at local stores and see the
local sights.
On Easter Sunday, they
plannedtorunthroughtheshow
in the afternoon and have a pot-
luck dinner later, said Martin.
Each venue is different, he
said. The armory, a new venue
for the circus, has a narrowfloor
andtheshowwouldbealteredto
accommodate for it, Martin add-
ed.

19, heangrilyblamedhis fathers
death on a black man and used a
racial slur. HesaidThursdaywas
the second anniversary of his fa-
thers death.
Its hard not to go off, given
the anniversary and the death of
his fiancee earlier this year, the
posting said.
Itsapparent fromtheposting
on the Facebook page that he
had an ax to grind, and that was
possiblypart of themotive, Wil-
lingham said. If you read the
Facebook post and see what hes
accused of doing, you can see
theres link between the two of
them.
The Facebook page had been
taken down by Sunday after-
noon.
A family friend, Susan Seven-
star, said England was a good
kid and a good, hard worker,
who was not in his right mind
after losinghis father andthe Ja-
nuarysuicideof his fiancee, with
whomhed recently had a baby.
If anybody is trying to say
this is a racial situation, theyve
got things confused, said Sev-
enstar, who described England
as Cherokee Indian. He didnt
care what your color was. It
wasnt a racist thing.
TheTulsaWorldreportedthat
Englands father, Carl, was shot
inthechest duringa scuffle with
a man who had tried to break in-
to his daughters apartment. En-
gland later died.
Themanchargedintheshoot-
ingis servingasix-year sentence
on a weapons charge, according
to Department of Corrections
records.
Acting on an anonymous tip
and backed by a helicopter, po-
lice arrested Jake England and
Alvin Watts, 32, about 2 a.m.
Sunday at a home in Turley,
north of Tulsa. The two were
roommates, andofficers went to
their home, then followed them
several blocks to another home,
where they were arrested with-
out incident, police said.
Authorities said they planned
tocharge themwithmurder and
other offenses. Task force com-
mander Maj. Walter Evans said
that investigators recovered a
weapon but that it was not clear
who fired the shots. They also
found a truck that had been
burned.
Police previously said they
werelookingforamaninawhite
truck.
The Rev. Warren Blakney Sr.,
president of the Tulsa NAACP,
said the arrests came as a big re-
lief. Black community leaders
had met Friday night amid fear
over the shootings andconcerns
about possible vigilantismin re-
taliation.
The community once again
can go about its business with-
out fear of there being a shooter
on the streets on today, on East-
er morning, Blakney said.
It wasnot immediatelyknown
if the suspects had lawyers.
Police Chief Chuck Jordan
said the gunmen appeared to
have chosentheir victims at ran-
dom. Police identified those
killed as Dannaer Fields, 49,
BobbyClark, 54, andWilliamAl-
len, 31. Two men were wounded
but were released from the hos-
pital, Jordan said.
The shootings come at a
fraught moment for blackAmer-
icans. In late February, an un-
armed black teen, Trayvon Mar-
tin, was fatally shot by a neigh-
borhoodwatchvolunteer inSan-
ford, Fla., raising questions
about racial profiling and touch-
ing off protests across the na-
tion.
WhileTulsa policewere reluc-
tant to describe the shootings
there as racially motivated, City
Councilman Jack Henderson
was not. BeinganNAACPpres-
ident for sevenyears, I thinkthat
somebodythat committedthese
crimes were very upset with
black people, Henderson said.
That person happened to be a
white person, the people they
happened to kill and shoot are
blackpeople. That fitsthebill for
me.

duce white blood cells.
Seeing the long road ahead of
the family, friends pulled togeth-
er a fund at Citizens Bank in
Mountain Top and organized a
fundraiser called Caseys Pot of
Gold.
Sue Kearney said colleagues
from work teamed up with Elva
Valentine of Valentines Jewelry
and American Gold Buying in
Dallas to organize the event.
This is howit works. Residents
are invited to clean out their jew-
elry boxes, looking for gold items
to take to American Gold Buying
to exchange for cash. Then, the
donor is asked to give a percent-
age of the exchange to Caseys
Pot of Gold.
For every $10 donated, the par-
ticipant will receive a chance to
win a white gold, diamond and
sapphire pendant, worth about
$600. The drawing will held Fri-
day during a benefit at Cava-
naughs Grille in Mountain Top.
Valentine said participants do
not have to be in attendance to
win.
The jewelry does not have to
be in good condition, Sue Kear-
ney said. It can be a broken gold
necklace, or the backs of lost ear-
rings.
The money will go to help with
the familys mounting medical
and transportation expenses to
go back and forth to Philadel-
phia.
Sue Kearney said her daugh-
ter, a graduate of Crestwood
High School in 2008, was well-
known for field hockey and track.
But Casey also has a big heart
and was inspired to help those
who found themselves in times
of trouble.
She took a year off and volun-
teered with AmeriCorps in the
Midwest helping with disaster
relief, Sue Kearney said.
The strong-willed young wom-
an is receiving five weeks of che-
motherapy in Philadelphia.
Casey is holding up, her
mother said.
The whirlwind of events that
turned the familys lives upside
down began when the results of a
blood test showed Casey had
chronic myeloid leukemia in the
blast crisis stage. Her cure, to
find a bone marrow donor.
Kearneys only sister, Meagan,
25, stepped up, ready to help.
However, testing showed that
Meagan was not a direct match.
Meagan was upset that she
could not be a donor, Sue Kear-
ney said.
Now Casey is waiting for a
bone marrow donor match to be
found through the International
Bone Marrow Donor Bank.
Sue Kearney said Caseys spirit
is strong. She is planning to re-
turn to school but wants to
change her major from occupa-
tional therapy to genetic re-
search so she could better under-
stand the disease that afflicts her
and why it occurs.

AUGUSTA, Ga. Bubba Watson
started the day by watching the rarest
shot in golf. He ended another thrill-a-
minute Sunday at Augusta National with
a signature shot of his own to win the
Masters.
It was a page right out of Bubba golf.
If Ive got a swing, Ive got a shot,
Watson said.
So deep in the trees right of the 10th
fairway that he couldnt even see the
green, Watson hooked a gap wedge off
the pine needles from155 yards to about
10 feet from the hole. That led to simple
par, good enough to beat Louis Oosthui-
zen of South Africa on the second playoff
hole.
It was Oosthuizen who set the tone for
this wild day with a double eagle only
the fourth in Masters history on the
par-5 second hole when his 4-iron from
253 yards landed on the front of the
green and rolled some 90 feet into the
hole for a 2.

AUGUSTA, Ga. Instead of
leavingwiththe greenjacket, Louis
Oosthuizen will have to settle for
an albatross.
Outdone in a playoff by perhaps
the only shot more spectacular
than his double eagle, Oosthuizen
came up short to Bubba Watson at
the Masters on Sunday night. Un-
able to see the flag, Watson man-
aged to hook a wedge off the pine
needles to 10 feet while the South
African couldnt get up and down
from in front of the green.
Its fine, Oosthuizen said. He
hit an unbelievable shot there. I
played well. This is not one where I
felt like I played badly. Great stuff
to him, he deserves it.
Though Oosthuizen had already
won a major, he would not have
beenanyones pickat the beginning
of theweek. His onlyvictories since
the 2010 British Open are the last
two African Opens, and being a
quiet, modest manwho is happy on
his farm, hetends toget overlooked
in a sport where Tiger Woods, Rory
McIlroy, and Phil Mickelson get
rock-star status.

purest swing in the game, and he is

each of the previous two playoff
meetings, using victories in 2008
and 2009 as springboards to the
Stanley Cup Finals.
Throwin Philadelphias addition
of former Pittsburgh stars Jaromir
Jagr andMaxTalbot andthe Flyers
coaching staff calling out the Pen-
guins for dirty play and theres
more than enough bile to go
around.
The series starts on Wednesday
night in Pittsburgh, where the Pen-
guins have home-ice advantage in
name only.
I expect a pretty intense series,
Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby
said. If anythingprior tothis is any
indication, thats pretty fair to say.
Those are the kind of series you
want to be a part of.
Pittsburghs 4-2 win over the
Flyers in the regular season finale
on Saturday was the calm before
the storm. Save for a first-period
fight between Philadelphias Harry
Zolnierczyk and Penguins forward
JoeVitale, bothteamswereontheir
best behavior.
The game was so calm Crosby
felt compelled to call it weird.
TheFlyersare5-1at Consol since
it opened in 2010 and their 25 road
victoriesthisseasontiedBostonfor
tops in the NHL.
Hartnell hasatheoryonwhyPhi-
ladelphia feels so comfortable at
Pittsburghs new barn, pointing to
Consols plush interior as opposed
to cramped and outdated Mellon
Arena.
The fans arent on top of you,
he said. It feels like youcanjust go
out and play.
Something the Flyers have done
better than most teams against the
Penguins.
Philadelphia won four of the six
regular seasonmeetings, oftenfrus-
trating Pittsburghs high-powered
offense by taking away the space
Crosby and Art Ross Trophy win-
ner Evgeni Malkinneedto operate.
The Flyers have the utmost re-
spect for Crosby and Malkin,
though with that respect comes a
fair amount of anger.
Theres guys in (Pittsburgh)
that you dont like, Hartnell said.
Obviouslytheyresomeof thebest
players in the league and you see
themon the highlights every night
and it annoys you.
And that annoyance can some-
times bubble over. Their last mea-
ningful meeting a 6-4 Philadel-
phia win on April 1 ended with
an ugly brawl in the final minute
that left Philadelphia coach Peter
Laviolette smashing a stick over
the glass in frustration.

NEW YORK Jonathon
Niese took a no-hitter into the
seventh inning in his first start
since signing a rich contract
and the New York Mets com-
pleted a season-opening sweep
of the Atlanta Braves with a 7-5
victory Sunday.
Niese (1-0) allowed just two
balls out of the infield through
six innings and retired 15 in a
row before walking Dan Uggla
on a nine-pitch at-bat leading
off the seventh. On the next
pitch, Nieses 98th of the game,
Freddie Freeman singled clean-
ly to right.
New York has played 7,971
games in its 51-season history
and is the oldest team in the
majors without a no-hitter.
Diamondbacks 7, Giants 6
PHOENIX Ryan Roberts
and Lyle Overbay hit consec-
utive two-out homers off Matt
Cain and the Arizona Dia-
mondbacks tied a franchise
record by rallying from six runs
down to beat the San Francisco
Giants and sweep the season-
opening three-game series.
Reds 6, Marlins 5
CINCINNATI Scott Rolen
drove in the winning run in the
ninth inning with a sharp in-
field single that third baseman
Hanley Ramirez failed to han-
dle, lifting thei Reds to a come-
from-behind win over Miami.
Cubs 4, Nationals 3
CHICAGO Jeff Samard-
zija dominated into the ninth
inning, outpitching Jordan
Zimmermann, and the Chicago
Cubs beat Washington for their
first win of the Theo Epstein
era.
Cardinals 9, Brewers 3
MILWAUKEE Lance
Lynn pitched two-hit ball into
the seventh inning and St.
Louis beat the Brewers, taking
two out of three from their NL
Central rivals to start the sea-
son.
Astros 3, Rockies 2
HOUSTON Brian Bogu-
sevic drove in the go-ahead run
after Jose Altuve scored on
Jordan Pachecos throwing
error to tie it in the eighth
inning and Houston beat Col-
orado.
Padres 8, Dodgers 4
SAN DIEGO Clayton
Richard and two relievers com-
bined on a four-hitter, Chase
Headley hit a grand slam and
Andy Parrino had his first big
league homer for the San Die-
go Padres, who beat the Los
Angeles Dodgers 8-4 on Sun-
day to avoid a four-game
sweep.

Mets win, complete
sweep of Braves
DETROIT Alex Avilas
two-run homer with two outs
in the bottom of the 11th in-
ning gave the Detroit Tigers a
wild 13-12 victory over Boston
on Sunday, leaving the Red Sox
winless in three games under
new manager Bobby Valentine.
Detroit trailed 10-7 when
Miguel Cabrera tied the game
with a three-run shot off Alfre-
do Aceves in the ninth. Boston
then scored twice in the 11th,
but Mark Melancon (0-2)
couldnt hold the lead.
Cabrera and Prince Fielder
singled before a wild pitch sent
Cabrera to third and Delmon
Youngs sacrifice fly cut the
margin in half. Avila followed
with a drive to right and Cody
Ross tried to make a leaping
catch, but the ball appeared to
hit a restraining gate just above
the wall before caroming back
onto the field.
Rays 3, Yankees 0
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
Jeremy Hellickson came within
one out of a three-hitter on his
birthday and Tampa Bay beat
New York to complete a sea-
son-opening sweep and match
the best start in club history.
Carlos Pena and Jeff Kep-
pinger homered for Tampa
Bay, which also started with
three consecutive wins in 2002.
New York is 0-3 for the first
time since 1998, when it went
on to win 114 games and the
World Series. The last time the
Yankees and Red Sox both
opened with three straight
losses was 1966, according to
STATS LLC.
Orioles 3, Twins 1
BALTIMORE Jason Ham-
mel took a no-hitter into the
eighth inning in his Baltimore
debut and the Orioles beat
Minnesota for a three-game
sweep.
Hammel (1-0) faced the
minimum 21 batters through
seven innings, allowing two
walks, before Justin Morneau
ended the no-hit bid with a
leadoff double off the right-
field wall in the eighth.
Royals 7, Angels 3
ANAHEIM, Calif. Eric
Hosmer and Billy Butler home-
red and drove in three runs
apiece, and Kansas City beat
Los Angeles to take two of
three in their season-opening
series.
Jonathan Sanchez (1-0) got
through five innings to win his
first start with the Royals, who
dampened the revamped An-
gels much-hyped home debut
with two victories after getting
shut out on opening day.
Indians 4, Blue Jays 3
CLEVELAND Carlos
Santana hit two home runs on
his 26th birthday, Derek Lowe
pitched seven strong innings
and Cleveland beat Toronto for
its first win.
Santana opened the second
inning with a drive to center.
He connected a second time off
Joel Carreno (0-1) in the fifth, a
two-run shot to right that
broke a 2-all tie.
Rangers 5, White Sox 0
ARLINGTON, Texas Matt
Harrison pitched six scoreless
innings while Josh Hamilton,
Adrian Beltre and David Mur-
phy homered for the Texas
Rangers, who wrapped up their
season-opening series with a
5-0 victory over the Chicago
White Sox on Sunday night.

(second in WVC), 14 rebounds, five
assists, four steals and three blocks
per game. The WVC Division I Player of
the Year scored her 1,000th career

Alexis Lewis
Holy Redeemer
Freshman guard
She opened her career by averaging
an impressive 15.1 points and was the
Royals leading scorer in 14 of the 18
games she played. A tenacious re-
bounder and skilled defender, the
WVC Division II Most Valuable Player
also had six games of 20 or more
points. Got better as the season went
along, averaging 18.3 points per game
in February. In the first playoff game
of her career, had 24 points, 15 re-
bounds, two assists and three steals.
Kaitlyn Smicherko
Wyoming Valley West
Senior guard
A multi-sport standout athlete, she is
regarded as perhaps the top defender
in the Wyoming Valley Conference.
Finished the season averaging 10.6
points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.0 steals. The
WVC Division I first team all-star made
72.5 percent of her free throws and
connected for 34 three-pointers (1.4
per game). She had seven games
where she scored at least 15 points,
and the Spartans were 6-1 in those
games.
Nikki Sutliff
Lake-Lehman
Senior guard
Sutliff was the floor leader for the WVC
Division III second half champs and
was named the divisions Player of the
Year. She averaged 12.7 points, 4.0
rebounds, 4.1 assists and 3.8 steals, and
made a team-high 32 three-pointers
(1.5 per game). Her eight games of 15 or
more points were second among the
Black Knights. During January, she
averaged 14.4 points per game, spark-
ing Lake-Lehmans 14-game winning
streak after a 3-5 start.
Katie Wolfe
Nanticoke
Senior forward
Technically the center for the Troja-
nettes, the 5-foot-9 Wolfe was the WVC
Division III Most Valuable Player. She
led her team in scoring at 12.9 points
per game and pulled down 7.6 re-
bounds per game. Dangerous defen-
sively, she averaged 2.1 steals per
game. She had four games of at least
21 points. Unexpected from a post
player, she had four three-pointers and
made 68.8 percent of her free throws.
Tara Zdancewicz has come
a long way as a basketball
player.
So far, in fact, that her first
varsity action is a distant
memory.
That whole first game of
mine was a blur, she said of
when she scored her first
basket.
More than 1,000 points
later, and after earning so
many accolades, Wyoming
Valley Wests Zdancewicz has
added to her basketball port-
folio by earning The Times
Leader Player of the Year
honors.
The daughter of Ron and
Laura Zdancewicz of Larks-
ville, the senior helped lift
the Spartans to a WVC Divi-
sion I championship and the
District 2 Class 4A semifinals.
Being the teams top scorer
and rebounder would auto-
matically make her a leader.
A shuffling roster made
that leadership all the more
important.
Tara Zdancewicz, Kate
Smicherko and Taylor Reilly
(the teams three seniors)
helped build this program
into what it is today, coach
Curt Lloyd said. Collectively,
they helped win 72 varsity
games in their four years
while winning two WVC
Division I titles.
The Spartans entered the
season with high hopes for
trip to states, matching a run
made during Zdancewiczs
sophomore season. A handful
of players relocated during
the early season, sending
three players into other
teams starting lineups.
Yet Zdancewicz and compa-
ny won the division crown
and played for a state tourna-
ment berth.
Our goal was to reach
states, but it was definitely a
rewarding season still, Zdan-
cewicz said. It seemed like a
lot of people wrote us off
with all the changes. But just
the way this team gelled,
everyone on the team came
together.
Despite increased attention
from opponents, the 5-foot-9
senior averaged 17.4 points
and 12.0 rebounds this sea-
son. She hit the 15-point
mark in 18 games for Valley
West.
When the playoffs came,
she averaged 21.0 points, 10.3
rebounds, 3.3 assists, 3.0
steals and one block in three
games.
The forward was named
the WVC Division I Most
Valuable Player and earned a
McDonalds All-American
nomination. Last week, she
earned a place on the all-
state second team.
Im so happy. I didnt ex-
pect it at all, Zdancewicz
said of the all-state honors.
Especially since we didnt
make the state playoffs, I
didnt think something like
that would even be possible.
Next up for Zdancewicz is
Penn State. Along with her
studies, she still expects to
get on the court, too.
Basketball is still an op-
tion for me, Zdancewicz
said.
And the way she plays the
game, basketball is a very
good option.

NEW YORK Carmelo
Anthony scored a season-high
43 points, making the go-ahead
3-pointer with 8.2 seconds left
in overtime, and the New York
Knicks spoiled a rusty Derrick
Roses return to the lineup to
beat the Chicago Bulls 100-99 on
Sunday.
Rose scored 29 points after
missing the previous 12 games
with a strained right groin, but
he shot only 8 of 26 from the
field and missed a pair of free
throws with 19 seconds left in
regulation and the Bulls ahead
by three.
Anthony made a 3-pointer
eight seconds later to tie it, and
scored the final five points of
the extra period as the Knicks
pulled out a thriller in a possible
playoff preview.
The Bulls trailed by 21 in the
first quarter, led by 10 in the
fourth, then failed to put it away
by missing four straight free
throws in the final 34 seconds of
regulation.
Despite having their starting
five together for only the 11th
time this season, the Bulls lost
for the third time in four games,
their NBA-best record falling to
43-14.
The Knicks increased their
lead over Milwaukee to one
game for the eighth and final
playoff spot in the Eastern Con-
ference. They travel to Chicago
on Tuesday, visit Milwaukee on
Wednesday, and close a difficult
week by hosting Miami next
Sunday.
Spurs 114, Jazz 104
SAN ANTONIO Tony
Parker scored 28 points and San
Antonio won its 11th straight
game, beating Utah to maintain
its slim lead atop the Western
Conference.
Manu Ginobili added 23
points for the Spurs, who are
now on their second 11-game
win streak a season best in
the NBA. But unlike that first
tear that started in January, the
Spurs are now fighting off the
Oklahoma City Thunder for first
place instead of trying to catch
them.
Al Jefferson led the Jazz with
19 points and 10 rebounds. Utah
dropped 1
1
2 games behind Den-
ver for the eighth and final play-
off spot with nine games to go.
The Spurs (40-14) have played
two more games than the Thun-
der (41-15).
Heat 98, Pistons 75
MIAMI LeBron James
scored 26 points, Chris Bosh
finished with 22 points and nine
rebounds, and Miami steadily
pulled away to beat Detroit.
James Jones scored 18 on
6-for-8 shooting from 3-point
range for Miami, which played
without Dwyane Wade for the
11th time this season. Wade sat
out with right ankle soreness,
which the team said was caused
by an awkward landing on a
dunk attempt against Memphis
on Friday night.
Thunder 91, Raptors 75
OKLAHOMA CITY Kevin
Durant scored 23 points and
Oklahoma City had a 24-0 run
bridging the third and fourth
quarters to beat Toronto and
end a season-worst three-game
skid.
Oklahoma City remained
percentage points behind San
Antonio for first place in the
West after the Spurs beat Utah
114-104.
Celtics 103, 76ers 79
BOSTON Kevin Garnett
scored 20 points and Rajon
Rondo dished out double-digit
assists for his 17th consecutive
game, finishing with 15 to help
lead Boston over Philadelphia.
Brandon Bass and Avery Bra-
dley each added 18 points, and
Paul Pierce had 17 as the Celtics
won for the seventh time in nine
games.
Nets 122, Cavaliers 117
NEWARK, N.J. Gerald
Green scored a season-high 32
points, including a clutch 3-
pointer with 36.7 seconds left in
regulation and a high-flying
dunk in overtime, leading New
Jersey to a win over Cleveland.
Anthony Morrow scored 24
points, Deron Williams had 18
points and 10 assists as the Nets
won a season-best third straight
at home.

If you want
to knowhowto
hit a baseball,
look up Ted
Williams.
The late Hall
of Famer was
such a student
of the art, he could figure out
what his batting average would
be depending on where the ball
was in the strike zone. He wrote
books on the subject and talked
hitting with fellowplayers more
than politicians discuss ear-
marks.
Then again, if you want to
knowhowto hit a baseball, you
could also ask Pete Rose.
The should-be Hall of Famer
had a simpler approach: See the
ball. Hit the ball.
So, which method works bet-
ter? Well, Williams .344 lifetime
average and Roses 4,256 hits
make a pretty strong case that
they both do.
Its the same thing in fantasy
baseball.
Those who dive headfirst into
the sabermetrics pool can cite
stats that look like a bizarre
Scrabble accident: BABIP(bat-
ting average on balls in play),
xFIP(expected fielding inde-
pendent pitching) or PECOTA,
which has nothing to do with
former Royals utility man Bill
Pecota. It stands for player
empirical comparison and opti-
mization test algorithm. Dont
try to figure that out. Youll hurt
yourself.
Others look at fantasy baseball
in an old school light. In this
method, there are two very im-
portant tests: The eyeball test,
and the nose test. Watch enough
games and you can tell if a play-
ers good. Conversely, you can
also tell if he stinks. Or he hasnt
changed his socks.
Both ways can help you find
good players, except with the
second, theres less math. We like
that one.
Well, with that in mind, lets
start some old school analyzing,
shall we?
Assuming most folks have
already drafted and have a full
roster, lets look at a fewplayers
who are gathering dust in the
waiver wire attic. Chances are no
ones taken these guys, but they
could turn into a hidden trea-
sure. Of course, they could also
end up like a tattered baseball
card in the spokes of a bicycle,
but were fishing for potential
and these guys have some.
Kevin Millwood, SP: OK, so
hell be 38 on Christmas Eve and
hes had ERAs topping 5.00 in
recent years, but Millwood may
be a sneaky early-season pickup.
He posted a sub-4.00 ERAin the
rare air of Colorado at the end of
2011, and this year hell be throw-
ing baseballs in Seattles spa-
cious Safeco Field. Aspring ERA
of 2.57 and 21strikeouts in 20
innings just helps his cause.
Danny Espinoza, 2B: Quick
quiz: Which player finished in
the top10 among second base-
men in HRs and RBIs in 2011and
is still not getting drafted? Too
easy? The fact this quiz was in
Espinozas capsule was a dead
giveaway, huh? Still, its true.
The Nationals second baseman
brings good power and produc-
tion numbers to the table and
can steal a fewbases. His .236
average and ungodly strikeout
rates may be a concern, but that
was in his rookie year. The
chance he improves and the fact
he plays a position where pow-
ers at a premiummake him
worth the risk.
Edinson Volquez, SP: The year
after the Rangers traded Volquez
to the Reds for future MVPJosh
Hamilton, it was considered a
win-win for both teams. In 2008,
Volquez had an All-Star worthy
17-6 campaign and seemed ready
for acehood. But injuries and
ineptitude followed, dropping
his stock faster than Maxell VHS
tapes. But hes in San Diego now,
and Petco Park could help lower
his numbers. It seemed to work
for ex-Red Aaron Harang, who
went froma 5.32 in 2010 to 3.64
at Petco in 2011.
Jason Kubel, OF: Hes three
years removed froma 28 HR, 103
RBI season. And hes been relo-
cated fromthe hitters death trap
of Minnesotas Target Field, to
the stadiumat the second-high-
est altitude in all of Major
League Baseball. That would be
Arizonas Chase Field. You dont
need Mr. Wizard to tell you light-
er air equals better offense.
Wilson Ramos, C: A2011line
of 15 HRS, 48 runs and 52 RBIs
may not seemtoo sexy, but con-
sidering hes a catcher, hes
young and he plays in an improv-
ing Washington Nationals li-
neup, he could be quite the bar-
gain. If he stays away fromkid-
nappers, that is.

And it was Watson who hit a
shot that only he could even
dream of pulling off.
Hooked it about 40 yards, hit
about 15 feet off the ground until
it got under the tree and then
started rising, Watson said.
Pretty easy.
The hard part was holding
back tears.
He was blubberinghardonthe
10th green, shoulders heaving
and face contorted, for so many
reasons. Just two weeks ago, he
and his wife adopted a baby boy,
Caleb. The first person on the
green was his mother his fa-
ther died right after the Ryder
Cup in 2010. He held her tight
and cried on her shoulder.
As incredible as it all seemed,
Gerry Bubba Watson, Jr., the
powerful lefty with a million
shots at his disposal, was a major
champion.
I never got this far in my
dreams, Watson said in Butler
cabin, where defending cham-
pion Charl Schwartzel helped
him into the green jacket. Its a
blessing. To go home to my new
son, its going to be fun.
Oosthuizen was trying to join
Gene Sarazen in the 1935 Mas-
ters as the only major champions
to win with a double eagle in the
final round. The former British
Open champion made one
clutch putt after another on the
back nine, none more important
than a 4-footer on the 18th for a
69 to force the playoff.
Both had a good look at birdie
at No. 18 on the first extra hole
and missed.
Watson, dressed all in white
and using a pink driver, hooked
one into the trees and it ap-
peared he would have no shot at
reaching the green. Oosthuizen
followed him, clanged off a Ge-
orgia pine and was left with 231
yards to the green. His approach
came up short.
Thats whenWatson, whorare-
ly hits a shot on a straight line,
came up with the most magical
shot of his life.
I was there earlier today, dur-
ing regulation, he said. So I
was used to it. I knewwhat I was
facing there. I had a good lie, had
a gap where I had to hook it 40
yards or something. Im pretty
good at hooking it.
Oosthuizenwas inthe fairway.
All he couldsee was a corridor of
fans leading into the woods.
I had no idea where he was,
Oosthuizen said. Where I stood
from, when the ball came out, it
looked like a curve ball. Unbe-
lievable shot. That shot he hit
definitely won him the tourna-
ment.
They finished at 10-under 278,
two shots ahead of four players
who kept it close and made the
Masters as compelling as ever.
Phil Mickelson, playing in the
final group for the fourth time,
recovered froma triple bogey on
the par-3 fourth hole and still
managed to stay in the game. He
couldonlymaketwo-putt birdies
onthe twopar 5s onthe backand
shot 72.
Its disappointing that I didnt
grab that fourth green jacket,
said Mickelson, whose wife and
three kids flew in from San Die-
go onSunday. Its disappointing
that I didnt make it happen on
the backnine andget the putts to
fall, even though I felt like I was
hitting them pretty good. I gave
them all good chances. I just
couldnt quite get them to go.
Lee Westwood of England ran
off three straight birdies, but the
last one hurt. He had an 8-foot
eagle putt to tie for the lead on
the15thandmissedit, andafinal
birdie on the 18th gave him a 68
and only made it look close.
I dont feel like giving up just
yet, said Westwood, who had
his seventh top-3 finish in a ma-
jor since the 2008 U.S. Open.
Matt Kuchar tied for the lead
with a short eagle putt on the
15th, then bogeyed the16th for a
69. Peter Hanson of Sweden,
who had a one-shot lead going
into the final round, didnt make
a birdie until the 15th hole. He
closed with a 73.
Watson, a 33-year-old fromthe
Florida Panhandle, won for the
fourth time in his career and
moves to No. 4 in the world,
making him the highest-ranked
American in golf.
And he created a legion of fans
especially in Georgia, where
he returned to school to get his
degree who chanted, Bubba!
Bubba! Bubba! as he hugged ev-
eryone he could find on the 10th
green.
I dont play the sport for
fame. I dont try to win tourna-
ments for fame, Watson said. I
dont do any of that. Its just me.
Im just Bubba. I goof around. I
joke around.
I just want to be me and play
golf.
Tiger Woods usedtoplay prac-
tice rounds with Watson at the
majors because he was intrigued
how a guy who has never had a
coach could make the ball move
any direction he wanted.

Augusta, Ga.
MASTERS
nearly impossible to fluster.
When he won the claret jug at St.
Andrews, he took a four-shot lead
into the final round and practical-
ly breezed to the finish.
So while everyone else was
measuring Phil Mickelson for his
fourth green jacket, defending
champion Charl Schwartzel said
there was someone else who was
worth watching.
I think hes playing the best
out of everyone up there,
Schwartzel said, referring to his
friend and countryman, whom
hes known since their days of ju-
nior golf in South Africa. Hes
hot right now. When hes playing
like this, hes unstoppable.
Oosthuizen wasted little time
rewarding his friends faith in
him.
In the fairway on No. 2, from
253 yards out, he blasted a 4-iron
onto the front, than watched it
roll fromthe front of the green to
the back and into the hole. Oos-
thuizen raised both hands in the
air and high-fived his caddie as
fans let out a roar that shook the
Georgia pines all the way to
Amen Corner.
I knew if I get it right, its go-
ing to feed toward the hole, he
said. But never thought it would
go in.
It was the most famous alba-
tross at Augusta since the one
Gene Sarazen knocked in on No.
15 en route to a playoff victory in
1935 known as the shot that
put the Masters on the map.
Oosthuizen sauntered to the
cup and plucked the ball out. But
instead of saving it for a glass
case back home, he tossed it to a
fan.
When something like that
happens early in your round, you
think that this is it, Oosthuizen
said. So it was tough. It was
tough the next five holes to just
get my head around it and just
play the course.
Oosthuizens smooth, sweet
swing held up to the pressure.
The only problem was, it takes a
little flair to wear a green jacket.
He made onlytwomore birdies
the rest of the day both on
par-5s, which may as well be pars
for the way the long holes play at
Augusta National. Watson, mean-
while, made four straight birdies
on the back nine to join Oosthui-
zen atop the leaderboard.
Forced into a playoff when nei-
ther could make a birdie on 18,
Oosthuizen headed toward the
putting green after signing his
cardonlytofindit hadbeentaken
over for the green jacket ceremo-
ny. Security led him back
through the clubhouse, where a
group of fans greeted him with
applause.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. After being
shut out in two of their first three
games of the season, the Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees ex-
ploded for five runs in the first
two innings en route to a10-0 vic-
tory over Syracuse Sunday, the
teams first of the season.
Jack Crust had a two-run sin-
gle in the first, followed by Bran-
don Lairds RBI double to give
the Yankees a quick 3-0 lead be-
fore the Chiefs even came to bat.
Crust and Steve Pearce each
drove in another run in the sec-
ond to put the Yankees up 5-0.
D.J. Mitchell went five innings
in his first start of the season for
the victory. He allowed just one
hit, while striking out four and
walking one.
Manny Delcarmen and Jason
Bulger each pitched two hitless
innings to complete the shutout.
The Yankees put the game out
of reach with a five-run seventh
inning.
CraigTatumandCust eachhad

around a two-run single by Chris
Dickerson.
Laird completed the scoring
with an RBI double.

NATIONAL FORECAST: Strong to severe thunderstorms will develop from portions of the southern
Rockies into parts of Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas today. Expect rain along a slow-moving cold front

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I really
need some feedback.
When I was 13, I
would cut myself. I
stopped around 15
after an attempted
overdose that didnt
work. I did it because
my parents were stressed due to
money problems and ignored me or
yelled at me a lot. I was also bullied
in school. I had just moved here, so
there was no one to turn to.
Suddenly, in the last week, I have
begun binge eating. I see no hope for
me graduating, no hope for my life or
my future. I wake up wanting to go
back to sleep or overdose. My wrists
have throbbed at the thought of want-
ing to cut again, and last night I had
a dream of jumping off a building. All
day I have had the same daydream of
hitting the ground. I cry randomly for
no reason. I have thought of multiple
ways to kill myself.
This just started. I cant see why I
cant be happy. My brother is coming
home from Afghanistan. I should be
ecstatic.
I plan on talking to a counselor
tomorrow because I am not sure how
to handle this. I dont want to get into
such a state that Ill let myself over-
dose again. Thank you for your time.
I just need some guidance on how to
handle this.
Wavering Girl in Watertown, N.Y.
Dear Wavering Girl: You are also a
smart girl to be reaching out for help.
I hope by the time you read this you
will have spoken to a counselor about
your feelings, because it appears you
are suffering from a severe depres-
sion, which can impair a persons
judgment. Being bullied at school and
worried about graduating would be
enough to trigger it. The behaviors
you describe mean you need to talk to
a mental health care professional.
If you had given me your phone
number, I would have talked with
you personally about this and,
with your permission, spoken to your
parents about it. Your counselor can
help you, but if you experience more
suicidal impulses, please contact the
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
by calling 800-273-8255.
Dear Abby: I work for a small com-
pany. Employees here bring in treats
to share and leave them in our break
area so co-workers can help them-
selves. One employee, Karen, sits
at a desk that is very near the lounge,
and snaps to attention when anyone
walks by with treats in hand. Then
she jumps up and follows them into
the lounge, where she lingers until
the snacks are ready.
Shell hover over the trays of what-
ever is being offered while eating
samples. Then she takes a huge
helping and stands nearby while she
eats it. She follows that up by taking
more back to her desk. Its annoying
to see a plate of cookies or a pan of
brownies that were brought to share
with everyone gobbled down by one
person.
Karen earns a good salary. She
certainly has enough money to buy
her own food. So, Abby, whats a good
way to tell her to stop?
Missing My Cookies in Erie, Pa.
Dear Missing Your Cookies: Try
this. The next time one of you brings
a treat to the office, put a sign next
to it that reads, One to a customer,
please, or tell Miss Piggy in plain
English that shes taking too much of
a good thing.
DEAR ABBY

Teen in throes of depression knows she has to get immediate help
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-

ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus

Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O.
Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447.
(Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your
mood is curious, experimental
and creative. It takes an open
mind and heart to live in this
headspace. Youll take a sugges-
tion, try it on and see where it
leads you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Youve
probably heard that antibiot-
ics arose from the accidental
contamination of a Petri dish.
Mistakes can bring about glori-
ous events and discoveries. Be
open to the magic that might
come of a blunder.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Something about your chemical
and emotional makeup will work
in favor of creating harmony for
yourself and others around you.
You have a talent for neutraliz-
ing acidic personalities.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Youre
firing on all cylinders. When you
look at a person, you can see the
chemistry, habits, emotions and
ideas that helped to form this
individual.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The sector
of the brain that responds to
feelings of love is different from
the one that responds to feelings
of attraction, but the two can
light up at the same time.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Any
regret youll have in life will have,
at its root, a poor decision. To
minimize regrets, maximize your
ability to make quality decisions.
Ten years from now, what will
you wish you would have done?
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your
collaborations will be free of
conflict. This is easiest, but will it
bring the best result? Ask some-
one to play devils advocate by
trying to shoot down your plan.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In
determinate games, the start-
ing player can always win if he
knows the strategy. In indetermi-
nate games, two perfect players
could play on forever.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Youll enjoy connecting with an
attractive someone on matters
of mutual interest. Youre likely
to be further besotted if this per-
son also happens to agree with
your worldview.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A
sign mate declared, He who is
devoid of the power to forgive
is devoid of the power to love.
There is some good in the worst
of us and some evil in the best of
us. Martin Luther King Jr.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
know youre passionate when
you cant get enough of your
subject matter. Your energy only
increases as you learn. The more
you engage your talents, the
more prolific you become.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The
spirit of play is alive in you.
Engaging the right playmates
will be key to maintaining this
buoyant energy throughout the
day. Youll gravitate to flexible
thinkers.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (April 9).
Your horizons open with new
possibilities, starting with a
change in your inner circle. Make
room in your heart to love a new
addition. June sees you putting
a talent handed down through
your ancestry to good use. Your
public and private personae
merge in interesting ways in
August. Pisces and Taurus peo-
ple adore you. Your lucky num-
bers are: 3, 40, 21, 6 and 18.
