Investigation continues into case of 14-year-old boy fatally shot April 5

Hill Street house searched again

WILKES-BARRE – Investigators on Friday searched a Hill Street house for the second time this week, fueling speculation the residence is closely linked to the shooting death of14-year-old Tyler Winstead. Two Luzerne County detectives, a city police detective, a state trooper with the Forensic Services Unit and an assistant district attorney were inside the house at 117 Hill St. for about an hour leaving just before 2:30 p.m. Neighbors said city police Det.

Nations condemn the launch attempt, keyed to honor the nation’s founder.

PYONGYANG, North Korea — North Korea’s much-touted satellite launch ended in a nearly $1 billion failure, bringing humiliation to the country’s new young leader and condemnation from a host of nations. The United Nations Security Council deplored the launch but stopped short of imposing new penalties in response. The satelRice lite’s disintegration Friday over the Yellow Sea brought a rare public acknowledgment of failure from Pyongyang, which had hailed the launch as a show of strength amid North Korea’s persistent economic hardship. For the 20-something Kim Jong Un it was to have been a highlight of the celebratory events surrounding his ascension to top political power. It was timed to coincide with the country’s biggest holiday in decades, the 100th birthday of North Korean founder Kim Il Sung, the young leader’s grandfather. The United States and South Korea declared the early morning launch a failure minutes after the rocket shot out from the North’s west coast. North Korea acknowledged its demise four

ery Rev. Joseph Martin blesses the shroud as part of Orthodox Good Friday at the Holy Resurrection Orthodox Cathedral in Wilkes-Barre during Friday’s service. Millions of Orthodox Christians around the world commemorate Good Friday, also known as ‘Great Friday.’ The atmosphere of the day is solemn and it is observed as a day of mourning to remember the events leading up to Jesus Christ’s crucifixion. Many Orthodox churches retained the Julian calendar after the Gregorian calendar was introduced in Europe in 1582. Therefore they often follow a different Easter date compared with many western churches. Easter holidays, such as Good Friday, are ‘moveable feasts,’ as these dates change according to calendar calculations.

WILKES-BARRE – The Luzerne County Public Defender’s Office ranks at or near the middle of the pack in both staffing levels and budget compared to other third-class counties in Pennsylvania. A review of data obtained from each of the 11 third class counties shows six of them employ more assistant public defenders than Luzerne County, while four have fewer attorneys. Luzerne County fares better in terms of budget. Four counties spend more, while six others spend less on public defender servic- Flora es. Whether a comparison to other counties should play a role in deciding the outcome of a class action lawsuit Chief Public Defender Al Flora Jr. filed against the county will likely be a matter of debate between the parties. In past interviews, county officials have noted that a study conducted in 2010 showed the staffing level in the public defender’s office was comparable to other similarly sized counties. Assistant County Solicitor Vito DeLuca last week said he expects the county will again look to that standard in addressing the lawsuit. Constitutional mandate See DEFENDER, Page 10A

DEP boss raps Wilkes report on drilling Michael Krancer calls the university study of new state regulations ‘biased.’ By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

During a February visit to the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research at Wilkes University, Department of Environmental Protection Secretary Michael Krancer praised the institute’s work in conducting unbiased scientific research into the environmental impact of Marcellus Shale gas drilling. Last week, Krancer changed his tone, harshly criticizing a March report on Act 13, Pennsylvania’s newly-enacted drilling impact fee law. In a letter to institute Director Ken Klemow, Krancer referred to statements he made during his

February tour of the facility, when he said the institute is “interested in science just as we’re interested in science,” and “we can’t have too many institutions do this kind of work. It’s great work, as long as it remains unbiased.” “However,” the secretary wrote this week. “I found the recent Institute Report on Act 13 to be neither science nor unbiased. It is political commentary and very misleading to boot.” The secretary then went on to point out items in the report he finds “particularly untenable.” The report was released by the Institute for Public Policy and Economic Development in collaboration with IEER. Both institutes are affiliated with Wilkes University.

The report notes both positive and negative aspects of Act 13, but concludes that the law falls short of its objective of providing local governments revenue to mitigate the negative effects of drilling, increases the potential for economic uncertainty and provides no recourse to mitigate impacts in non-drilling counties. Krancer criticizes some of those and other contentions of the report in his letter. He calls false the claim in the report that Act 13 “strips municipalities of their power of local zoning and land use planning,” contending that “The Oil and Gas Act always provided that environmental protections associated with natural gas development were a matter of state law. Local governments have never had the authority to discriminatorily ban particular uses from their borders.”

Krancer also calls the report’s assertion that the public would remain uninformed about the chemicals companies use in hydraulic fracturing “a particularly egregious falsehood,” and says that the state’s mandate for disclosure through the Web database FracFocus.org is “one of the most forward thinking disclosure provisions of any such law in the nation.” The directors of the two institutes that crafted the study referred comment to Wilkes University spokesman Jack Chielli, who said the university and institute directors are “reviewing the secretary’s comments carefully and may modify our analysis of Act 13 should we determine that is necessary.” “We hope to continue our conversation with the secretary about development of the Commonwealth’s natural gas re-

sources and this report,” Chielli added. “As the secretary pointed out during his visit, our purpose is to provide unbiased analysis to the public and its decision makers. We know we are doing a good job with our research when we spark deeper thinking and discussion on both sides of the Marcellus development issue.” G. Terry Madonna, Professor of Public Affairs at Franklin & Marshall College, said that “most cabinet secretaries traditionally have refrained from engaging in active politics,” but did not think Krancer’s words veered too far in that direction. “I think he has every right to do that,” Madonna said. “Defense of a policy of the administration is not political.” “It may be a little strongly worded, but I don’t see that as exceptional,” he added.

Lackawanna officials say cooperation topic of visit By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Lackawanna County Commissioners Jim Wansacz and Corey O’Brien visited the Luzerne County Courthouse late Friday afternoon to meet with Luzerne County Manager Robert Lawton. The commissioners and Lawton declined to discuss the point of the meeting or say whether it was connected to Lackawanna’s

upcoming plans to sell the Triple-A baseball franchise purchased by both counties. O’Brien and Wansacz said residents want elected officials from both counties to work together, and they wanted to meet with Lawton to start developing a working relationship. Lawton said no agreements have been reached regarding a disagreement between the counties over the franchise. Lawton

said he will brief council on any attempt to resolve the matter. Luzerne County has a pending lawsuit arguing Lackawanna is legally required to give Luzerne half the proceeds if the franchise is sold. Lackawanna County filed a countersuit arguing Luzerne County isn’t entitled to any proceeds and owes Lackawanna millions of dollars for past stadium repairs.

Lackawanna County officials plan to sell the franchise for $14.6 million to SWB Yankees LLC, a joint venture of the New York Yankees and the Mandalay Entertainment Group. Lackawanna County Commissioners had said a public hearing on the proposed sale could be held Monday, but a county representative said the meeting won’t occur Monday and may be held later in the week.

Luzerne County Councilman Stephen A. Urban questioned the legality of a meeting involving a quorum of the three-person Lackawanna Board of Commissioners and said he was informed two Luzerne County Council members also attended. “If the Lackawanna County Commissioners want to say anything, they should address the full council at a public meeting or executive session,” Urban said.

Hazleton man receives 11-22 months in stabbing By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A Hazleton man charged with stabbing and injuring another man during a fight in 2010 in Hazleton was sentenced Friday to 11 to 22 months in county prison. Robin A. Santiago, 21, of North Vine Street, was sentenced on a single count of aggravated assault by Luzerne County Judge David Lupas. Santiago pleaded guilty to the

charge in October 2011 and was ordered to pay $30,000 in restitution to the victim for his injuries as part of the plea agreement. According to court papers, on Aug. 7, 2010, police were called to Fourth and Vine streets in Hazleton for the report of a fight. When police arrived, several people began yelling that a man, Jorge Luis Rosado, was stabbed and that Rosado was leaning against a vehicle with his hands pressed to his abdomen. Police said a few moments lat-

er, Santiago exited his apartment, yelling that he stabbed Rosado, according to court papers. When police ordered Santiago to the ground, a pocket knife with a three-inch blade was thrown on the ground. Police said the knife appeared to be covered in blood. Lupas said Santiago is eligible for work release and will be paroled upon serving his minimum sentence. He received 216 days credit for time already served in prison.

Shooting suspect still at large By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

PLYMOUTH TWP. – State police at Wyoming intensified their search for William Gronosky Jr. after he allegedly fired two shots at a trooper on U.S. Route 11 early Friday morning. Gronosky, 29, was driving a rented gold 2011 Chevrolet Cruze with a Pennsylvania license plate FTF-1838. State police said a trooper attempted to stop the vehicle on Route 11 when Gronosky fired two shots at the cruiser at about 1 a.m. Both rounds passed above the cruiser.

The trooper was not injured. Gronosky drove away at a high rate of speed south on Route 11 through Union and Salem townships. The trooper stopped the Gronosky Jr. pursuit near the Shickshinny-Mocanaqua Bridge in Salem Township. State police said Gronosky is considered armed and dangerous. He is wanted for his alleged role in an armed robbery at the Carousel Lounge adult club

in Plymouth Township on March 15 and burglarizing a trooper’s residence on March 22-23. There was a heavy police presence in the Parsons section of Wilkes-Barre Friday morning looking for Gronosky and a woman known to him. The woman is believed to be an exotic dancer at the Cabaret Lounge on Market Street, Kingston, state police said.

This will bring the plant into compliance with laws governing discharges in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.

Improvements include the addition of two 300,000-gallon aeration tanks, two 250,000-gallon sludge tanks and an addition to the plant’s sludge-processing building at the authority treatment plant in the Coxton section of Duryea. Additional filtering systems will also be added to all six aeration tanks at the plant.

It’s a program that really works Annual event highlights national recognition of success of Mature Workers. By EILEEN GODIN Times Leader Correspondent

WILKES-BARRE – The Mature Workers program has reason to toot its horn, after being ranked third in the nation by the Department of Labor for meeting goals and placing candidates in jobs. Gerry Chickeletti, program director, announced the news to 115 representatives from various nonprofit organizations and companies Friday morning during the annual Training Site Supervisors’ Breakfast at the Ramada Inn, Wilkes-Barre. In a county with an unemployment rate near 10 percent as of February the Mature Workers Program sponsored by the Area Agency on Aging in WilkesBarre has found a niche retraining older individuals to re-enter the work force. The program helps provide training in areas of customer service, computers and jobhunting skills to give people age 55 and older a chance at a second career. “Just in the past week, I have gotten 34 calls from employers looking for help,” Chickeletti said. Chickeletti said a study by the Department of Labor revealed the program “was doing some unique things.” Representatives from the department visited the program several times through the year talking with training sites, participants and employers. The end result: the program was ranked third out of 24 sites, following only New York City and Monroe, La. Chickeletti attributes this success to association with the Area

WILKES-BARRE – A city man charged with shooting a man in the leg during a robbery in January 2009 pleaded no contest Friday to related charges. Robert Anthony Wiggins, 21, of Kulp Street, entered the plea to charges of robbery and aggravated assault and two counts each of reckless endangerment and criminal conspiracy. Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr. said Wiggins will be sentenced on June 8. He faces a maximum sentence of10 years in prison on both the robbery and aggravated as-

rectors, receptionists or food services, he said. Other affiliates do not have this; many are sponsored through service organizations, Chickeletti said. He also gave credit to the orga-

sault charges, which are felonies. According to court papers, on Jan. 18, 2009, police were called to the Hanover Village Apartments in Hanover Township for the report of a man shot in the leg. Police said Muadhdhin Sharif had a gunshot wound in his left thigh, and was transported to Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center for treatment. Sharif later told police he and his girlfriend, Alicia Crich, were watching TV in their living room when they heard a knock at the door. Sharif said a man, later identified as Jeremy Battle, was at the door, asked for a cigaretteand entered the apartment to talk about an incident that occurred at the Hanover Village Apartments a few nights earlier.

nizations and employers that have served as training sites and have hired participants. Wayne Wolf of the American Red Cross Wyoming Valley Chapter, has had hired four Mature Worker program participants during the past few years. “It is a great program for those looking to re-enter the workforce,” he said. “As a training site, our role is to help them grow through new opportunities and challenges.” Participant Linda Benesky described her experience as a trainee and intern at the F. M. Kirby Center. At the end of her nine months, she was hired as an administrative assistant. “I love it,” she said. Chickeletti said he has a pool of about 75 individuals ready to go to work right now.

Sharif said he was sitting on the couch talking to Battle when another man, later identified as Wiggins, entered the apartment wearing a mask, gloves and brandishing a gun. Wiggins pointed the gun at Sharif and demanded money, according to court papers. Wiggins said Sharif had until the count of five to give him money, and that when he got to three, Wiggins shot Sharif in the leg. The two men began to fight, and Battle removed Sharif’s wallet from his back pocket. Court papers say Wiggins

pointed the gun at Sharif and Crich when he and Battle ran out of the apartment. Wiggins had remained at large since the Jan. 18, 2009 incident until November 2011, when he was unable to post $200,000 bail and was lodged at the county prison, according to court papers. Battle, 22, of Wilkes-Barre, was also charged in the incident. He was sentenced in January 2010 to three to six years in state prison and 10 years probation for his role in the robbery and in a number of other unrelated incidents.

State police said the two men got away with more than $3,500. Both are still at large. State police on Thursday charged Courtney Marie Sadusky, 23, of Wilkes-Barre, with driving the pair away from the Carousel Lounge robbery, and driving Gronosky to burglarize the trooper’s house in Laflin, according to the criminal complaints.

that “pre-kindergarten increased graduation rates by 44 percent.” Clash noted Gov. Tom Corbett’s proposed budget sets aside “$1.8 billion to house about 50,000 inmates,” yet only $180 million “from all sources” is earmarked for pre-kindergarten. The plan cuts 5 percent from pre-kindergarten spending, Clash said, and eliminates Accountability Block Grants most school districts used to fund kindergarten and pre-kindergarten. State Rep. Phyllis Mundy, D-

Kingston, a long-time advocate of early childhood education, said she helped form an early childhood education caucus in the House of Representative that is pushing to prevent those cuts. Mundy drew a distinction between “spending and investing,” arguing that investing in pre-school programs now reduces the need to spend on prisons later. Others who joined in the press conference and then read to the children were State Rep. Tarah Toohil, R-Butler Twp.; Luzerne County District Attorney Stephanie Salavantis; United Way of Wyoming Valley President Bill Jones, and Luzerne County Head Start Executive Director Lynn Biga.

EDWARDSVILLE -- Council announced on Thursday it will begin to crack down on illegal dumping in the borough. Council Chairman Dave Stochla said officials plan to exhaust all avenues and work with neighboring communities to bring violators to justice. Also, Councilman Gary Mack said borough police will be working with the Larksville Police Department to target aggressive drivers along Route 11 in the borough. Mack said letters were sent to high schools throughout the area alerting them to the traffic safety initiative. The move comes in response to excessive speeding along that stretch of road. “Our goal is to keep people safe,” said Mack.

Sadusky told investigators she was coerced into helping Gronosky because her boyfriend owes him money for drugs, the criminal complaints say. Gronosky and Williams are persons-of-interest in a home invasion on Church Street, Hanover Township, on March 26. Township police said the Church Street homeowner was bound inside the house and had his Ford Focus stolen. A WilkesBarre police officer spotted the Ford and escaped injury when the driver fired shots at the cruiser during a 25-mile pursuit that ended in Monroe County. Anyone with information about Gronosky and Williams is asked to call state police at Wyoming at 697-2000.

Widespread offensives avoided despite killing of 6 protesters

BEIRUT — Syrian forces used live fire, tear gas and clubs to beat back tens of thousands of protesters who took to the streets across the country Friday in powerful and often jubilant displays of defiance. But a U.N.-brokered truce largely held up without the widespread, bloody offensives that have pushed the nation toward civil war. Activists said security forces killed at least six people, a lowerthan-usual toll. The rallies, de-

scribed as some of the largest in months, stretched from the suburbs of Damascus to the central province of Hama, Idlib in the north and the southern province of Daraa, where the uprising began in March 2011. “Come on, Bashar, leave!” the crowd shouted in Daraa, linking arms and stomping their feet to the beat of a drum in a traditional Arab folk dance, according to a video posted online by activists. The protests might have been far larger had President ashar Assad’s regime not violated a key aspect of the truce by keeping

troops, tanks and snipers in population centers instead of pulling them back to barracks. The presence of plainclothes agents of the feared Mukhabarat security service also had a chilling effect on some of the gatherings in Damascus, the capital, and elsewhere. The demonstrations were a critical test of the cease-fire, which went into effect at dawn Thursday, because they challenged the government’s commitment to avoid the kind of atASSOCIATED PRESS tacks that have made Syria one of the bloodiest conflicts of the Arab Anti-Syrian regime protesters chant slogans against Syrian Spring revolts.

TULSA, OKLA.

Charges filed in shootings Oklahoma prosecutors filed murder and hate crime charges Friday against two men arrested in an Easter weekend shooting spree that left three people dead and terrorized Tulsa’s black community. Jake England, 19, and his roommate, Alvin Watts, 33, each are charged with three counts of first-degree murder, two counts of shooting with intent to kill and five counts of malicious harassment. The harassment counts allege the victims were targeted because of their race. Police say the men, who were arrested early Sunday after a two-day manhunt, appeared to have chosen five victims at random. Three died and two others were wounded. Under state law, first-degree murder is punishable by death or life in prison. Prosecutors said decisions about whether to seek the death penalty are usually made after a preliminary hearing.

PITTSBURGH

Boy convicted in slayings A boy who was 11 when he was accused of killing his father’s pregnant fiancée and her unborn son was found guilty Friday of their 2009 shotgun slayings. Lawrence County Judge John Hodge found the now-14-year-old Jordan Brown delinquent, the juvenile court equivalent of a guilty verdict, in the deaths of Kenzie Houk and her unborn child. The judge closed the trial to the media and all but immediately family members because of the boy’s age when the 26-year-old Houk died. The verdict on the criminal homicide charges means Brown could remain in juvenile court custody until he’s 21. Whether he remains incarcerated in a juvenile facility that entire time or is eventually released on probation will be subject to future hearings on the state of his rehabilitation. He’s been held in a facility about 80 miles from his home for most of the three years since he’s been charged with criminal homicide. ISTANBUL

Powers set for nuke talks After years of failure, Iran and the six world powers may finally make some progress on nuclear negotiations when they meet again Saturday if each side shows willingness to offer concessions the other seeks. But even if the two sides find enough common ground, they may have a tougher time in any potential second round. That’s when the six powers will likely seek further commitments from Tehran to reduce fears that it could use its uranium enrichment program to make the fissile core of nuclear missiles.

Judge could recuse herself The judge hearing the George Zimmerman case announced Friday that her husband works for the law firm of Mark NeJame, who has been hired to act as a CNN analyst for this case. Circuit Judge Jessica Recksiedler said she had an ethical obligation to disclose that and allow Zimmerman’s attorney or the special prosecutor to ask her to step down. No one has made that request yet, but Zimmerman’s attorney, Mark O’Mara, said that’s an issue that worries him and that next week he may ask her to give the case to another judge. The judge scheduled the 10-minute hearing on her own, specifically to tell attorneys about the issue.

Newark mayor saves fire victim Cory Booker rescues neighbor from second-floor bedroom. By SAMANTHA HENRY Associated Press

NEWARK, N.J. — The mayor of New Jersey’s largest city said Friday he thought he might die when he dashed through a burning, smoky kitchen to find and rescue a neighbor from her second-floor bedroom. “I felt fear. I really didn’t think we were going to get out of there,” Mayor Cory Booker, his burned right hand still bandaged, told a news conference in front of the boarded-up home. The 42-year-old mayor said it was very difficult to breathe as he looked for the woman, 47-year-old Zina Hodge, whose mother had screamed she was still trapped inside the burning house. As he got to the bedroom, Booker said he could hear, “I’m here, I’m here. Help! I’m

here.” The mayor, who was coughing heavily after the rescue, was taken to the hospital and treated for smoke inhalation and seconddegree burns after the rescue late Thursday. Booker downplayed his actions, saying he just did what any neighbor would do, “which is jump into action to help a friend.” “I didn’t feel bravery, I felt terror,” he said. “It was a moment I felt very religious, let AP PHOTO me put it that way.” Hodge remains in stable condition at a Newark Mayor Cory Booker talks about hospital, suffering from second-degree rescuing a neighbor Thursday from a fire at this Newark, N.J. home. burns.

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — A late-night encounter with four bears trying to snack from backyard birdfeeders gave Vermont’s governor a lesson in what not to do in bear country. One of the bears chased Peter Shumlin and nearly caught the governor while he was trying to shoo the animals away, he said. “I had a close encounter with a bear, four bears to be exact,” Shumlin said Friday. Shumlin said he had just gone to bed inside his rented home on the edge of Montpelier late Wednesday when the bears woke him up. He looked out the window and Shumlin saw the bears in a tree about five feet from the house trying to get food from his four birdfeeders. “I open up the window and yell at them to get away from the birdfeeders. They kind of trot off,” Shumlin said Friday. “I go around to the kitchen to turn the lights on and look from the other side and they’re back in the birdfeeders. So I figure I’ve got to get the birdfeeders out of there or they’re going to make this a habit.” He said he then ran out and first grabbed two of the feeders. As he grabbed the other two, “one of the bigger bears was interested in me.” “It was probably six feet from me before I slammed the door and it ran the other way,” Shumlin said. Shumlin said he didn’t stop to get dressed. “I sleep like many Vermont boys, without too much clothing at night. The bottom line is: The bears were dressed better than I and they could have done some real damage.”

Taking the team approach “It’s the event that allows us Working together, local people to fight back against cancer,” raise funds while honoring said Jeffrey Bauman, Americancer victims and survivors. can Cancer Society Income By JOE DOLINSKY Times Leader Intern

In May of 1985, Dr. Gordy Klatt began circling the track at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Wash. to raise money for his local American Cancer Society office. He didn’t stop for 24 hours. Klatt’s only request was that friends run or walk alongside of him for $25. Eightythree miles later, the surgeon had raised more than $27,000. Klatt’s idea took off and since then the annual Relay for Life has been a staple of cancer awareness locally and nationally. By coordinating their own events, area schools are doing their part to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer.

Development Representative. “The relay brings students and the community together and mobilizes them for one purpose,” he said. The 2012 Relay for Life season opened Friday night at Misericordia University’s Anderson Sports and Health Center. During the event, teams of people camp out and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have one member of their team participating at one time. Because cancer never rests, relays are overnight events up to 24 hours in length. Students in the Misericordia University “Colleges Against Cancer” chapter hosted a series of purple-themed events last week in an effort to raise support for the event. The student club is hoping

Compressor lockout procedure had role in Susquehanna County blast A public briefing about the explosion is set for Tuesday at Montrose High School. By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

A security box left unlocked sparked a chain of events leading to an explosion and fire at a natural gas compressor station in Susquehanna County, according to a report by the station operator released by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection on Friday. An explosion inside the compressor building at Williams’ Lathrop Compressor Station, located near Springville, Susquehanna County, sparked a fire that burned for approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes March 29. The accident sparked tensions in Dallas Township, where a natural gas gathering line passing through the Lathrop Compressor Station enters the Transco interstate gas Williams pipeline. blamed the DEP asked accident on Williams to confailure to duct its own inadhere to its vestigation and issue a report on internal prowhat happened cedures. prior to the explosion. According to the report: On the morning of the accident a worker was performing maintenance work on compressor unit 3, one of seven natural gas compressors at the station. During that operation the worker isolated the compressor from the others by locking two valve locks. The worker placed keys to the two valve locks in a lockbox, but could not recall placing a personal lock on the lockbox. Two other workers then entered the compressor building and did not see the first worker. Assuming maintenance on the compressor had finished, the workers reopened the valves and began returning the compressor to service. The failure to ensure that gas remained isolated until work was completed allowed gas to be reintroduced to the compressor before it was ready. Three workers in the building heard gas flowing from the compressor and immediately left the building, hitting the emergency

Gas trapped in pipes inside the building continued to burn for 30 minutes, and a secondary fire fed by residual oil in unit 3 continued to burn for an additional two hours. Williams blamed the accident on failure to adhere to its internal

North Korea had characterized the launch as a gift for its late founder, Kim Il Sung, two days before the 100th anniversary of his birth.

OTHER OPINION: GREAT SACRIFICE

Civil War death toll a moving target

AST YEAR, Americans marked the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War, the deadliest war in the nation’s history. Until recently, historians generally were satisfied that the combined fatalities of soldiers on both sides totaled 618,222. William F. Fox and Thomas Leonard Livermore, two Union Army veterans turned amateur historians, took on the task of counting the dead. They studied battlefield reports, conscription lists, pension records and news accounts of remote battles. Their estimate of Union dead was 360,222. Because many records about the South had been destroyed, they made educated guesses about the Confederate dead, a total they put at 258,000. Their estimates of the war’s toll was accepted for over a century until J. David Hacker, a demographic historian, figured out how to use other sets of data EDITORIAL BOARD

from that era to come up with a more accurate count. Hacker estimated that the number of Civil War dead is actually closer to 750,000. Using a system called the twocensus method, Hacker increased Fox and Livermore’s mortality count by looking at data that the amateur historians missed. Though his figures are far more systematic than the work of his 19th century predecessors, he insists it isn’t the final word. More research must be undertaken. Still, discovering that the Civil War’s toll was even worse than remembered is a remarkable, if sobering, achievement. As Americans, we’re even more in debt to the soldiers who fought to end slavery and preserve the Union. Their courage and sacrifice deserves to be honored – and counted. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

here will be an important public hearing beginning at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Harveys Lake municipal building, and I urge residents to attend. Council has a plan to move our police station from the entrance to the lake to a more obscure location on a private road at the opposite end of the lake. It is my strong opinion that the police station should remain at the main entrance to our community to show police presence. If one had to pinpoint what represents our “downtown,” where countless visitors congregate, it would be at the Sunset section that includes Grotto Pizza, Jones’ Pancakes, the Villa Roma and nearby establishments. While we have the state access area at the other end of the lake, people do not congregate there. In fact, it is forbidden. They launch their boats, park their vehicles and trailers and go out onto the lake. This area also is patrolled by the state. Furthermore, the building in which they want to put the police station has been unused for many years. The taxpayers recently updated the existing police station, including upgrades such as a new heating and air-conditioning system. Council is proposing moving the borough secretary across the street into the police station. If council makes this move, the taxpayers will begin to pay heat, electric and maintenance on two buildings, instead of one. This idea was not well thought out, or even presented at a public meeting. I am a minority member of council and will not be voting for this foolish move. However, if the residents don’t show up and express their opinions at this meeting, you can almost certainly bet that this move will take place. When you get your next tax bill, all you can do is pay it and stew. Michelle T. Boice Council member Harveys Lake

No debate? Holden needs to be heard on issues

hen you run from a debate, you run from the voters. U.S. Rep. Tim Holden, the voters of the newly drawn 17th Congressional District deserve to hear where you stand on the issues before we go to the polls on April 24 to cast our votes in the Democratic primary. Congress chooses to support big business and big oil instead of the middle class, chooses to seemingly wage war on women and apparently has chosen to turn its back on the environment and the very air we breathe. By the summer, gas might be $5 a gallon. We would like to hear where you stand

on these issues, Mr. Holden. We care less about negative television ads and more about the issues that we are faced with every day of our lives. Adam G. Ciechoski Wilkes-Barre

End one-party control of state AG’s Office

fter 30 years of Republican control in the state Attorney General’s Office, it is time for a change. We have seen what happens when one party dominates Harrisburg. The Republicans are subjecting our commonwealth to radical policies. We cannot afford another Republican attorney general who will gladly enforce them. That is why, on April 24, I’m voting for Patrick Murphy in the Democratic primary. Patrick served our country honorably in the Iraq war; he was a military prosecutor and an outstanding congressman from Bucks County.

made a campaign promise last year as I was running for a seat on the Swoyersville Council. As a councilman from the borough’s third ward, I am keeping my pledge to do whatever it takes to help our fire department. So with the help of local country giant Iron Cowboy, I will be hosting a fundraiser night to benefit Volunteer Fire Department No. 2, Station 279, located on Slocum Street. The event is set for Sept. 8. These men and women, all volunteers, do whatever they need to do 24 hours a day, all year long. They even volunteer to help people in other towns. Example: When the river went over its banks they went to West Pittston to help pump water out of basements, staying all night until the job was done. That’s beyond the call of duty!

Think about this: It costs $10,000 per year for insurance and $1,200 a year for building utilities. An image camera costs $15,000, an air pack $5,000, a portable radio $1,000, a fire engine $480,000, a pager $500, and this is just a start. What is the cost of saving a life? In my opinion, you can’t put a price on it. Please join me Sept. 8. For more information, locate me on Facebook. I believe that we need to help them, so they can help us. Christopher S.

Bean-counter reference underrates value of CPAs

f Frank Pinto is trying to build a case for becoming the next auditor general, he should start by looking up the definition of CPA. His crass reference to the 67 employees in the Auditor General’s Office who are CPAs as “bean counters” demonstrates his lack of respect for the knowledge, experience and training required to obtain and maintain a CPA license. The reference appeared in the April 2 edition of the Harrisburg Patriot-News, but he also has used this term on PCN and in other interviews. To earn a CPA license, one must graduate from an accredited college or university, pass a rigorous national CPA exam and meet a work experience requirement. CPAs use the knowledge and experience needed to earn the CPA license to serve not only as auditors who provide trusted information to the investing public, but also as business advisers for clients, CEOs of major corporations and managers at state-funded programs to ensure that they are administered appropriately. CPAs are trained to look for waste and fraud, and to identify ways to create efficiencies. CPAs are critical to the office of auditor general because they are the only professionals licensed to conduct audits. The auditor general does not have to be a CPA, but the effectiveness and leadership capabilities of auditor general would be greatly enhanced by possessing knowledge of the office’s staff. Mr. Pinto clearly does not understand the role a CPA can play in the Auditor General’s Office. Through his trivializing of their experience, he publicly has insulted more than 20,000 members of the Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants who have worked hard to earn and maintain their CPA licenses. The audit function is essential to protect the public. CPAs and the general public should be appalled that Mr. Pinto would trivialize and insult the licensed professionals that perform this function.

ing levels, but a meaningful comparison could not be made due to differences in the way the counties collect and report their cases. Some public defender offices included all types of cases they handled, including criminal, probation violations and mental health commitments, as a single figure in the caseload statistics. Other counties excluded probation and mental health data from caseloads, negating the ability to conduct an equal comparison. Brad Winnick, chief public defender for Dauphin County, said he understands the desire to conduct a county-to-county comparison. But he cautioned against only looking at staffing and budget figures as many other variables affect a department’s operation.

ing revenue from enforcement of the parking meters. Leighton wanted the authority to hire the Fox Rothschild Law Firm of Philadelphia to handle the solicitation. Alan Wohlstetter serves as legal counsel to the parking authority and works for Fox Rothschild, which employs former U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, brother of former city administrator J.J. Murphy. J.J. Murphy has been hired by Fox Rothschild as a consultant to assist in the process, Wohlstetter said Friday. Murphy is being paid a consulting fee of $300 per hour. At a special meeting of the parking authority Thursday, a timesheet dated March 19 was presented for review from Goals Consulting – Murphy’s firm. The timesheet noted Murphy had billed for $8,130, representing 27.1 hours worked since Feb. 21. Katarsky said he is questioning why another consulting firm – Desman Associates of Chicago – was brought in this week. The authority approved a $5,000 contract with Desman on Thursday, but that amount could increase significantly – to $75,000 – if the RFQ returns several interested bidders, Wohlstetter said.

The launch brought swift international condemnation, including the suspension of U.S. food aid, and raised concerns that the North’s next move could be even more provocative — a nuclear test, the country’s third. The U.N. Security Council denounced the launch as a violation of two resolutions that prohibit

“Looking at it now, I think we should have hired Desman first,” Katarsky said. “We put the cart before the horse, I guess.” Katarsky said the study being done – an assessment of the condition and potential revenue production of the city’s parking assets – could have cost the authority $175,000 but now appears that it may cost more than $300,000. “And just for a damn study,” he said. Leighton defends actions Leighton said he didn’t force or “bully” the authority into doing the study. “Somebody has to tell me how to generate new revenue,” Leighton said. “This is something we are going to evaluate; if it doesn’t work, we won’t do it.” As far as Murphy’s involvement, Leighton said his hiring was never hidden. “We need to work with people who we can trust,” Leighton said. “This is a very important project for the city and the parking authority; it has to be done the right way.” For his part, Katarsky said he didn’t know Murphy’s brother was a partner at Fox Rothschild. “I don’t know if it matters,” he said. “Murphy knows the city.

Some of those factors are intangible, such as the policy of the District Attorney’s Office in taking plea agreements. Some prosecutors are more open to plea bargains than others, which will significantly impact the amount of time an attorney spends on a case, he said. Operational differences Interviews with several chief public defenders also revealed wide variations within the offices relating to the types of cases they handle, which affects an attorney’s workload. For example, in York County persons facing a mental health commitment are represented by private court-appointed counsel, not the public defender’s office, said Bruce Blocher, chief public

Congress. “Congressman Holden relies on the support of hard-working individuals who contribute what they can and from organized labor who believe that Tim Holden best represents working-class Pennsylvanians,” said Eric Nagy, Holden’s campaign spokesman. “Matt Cartwright, on the other hand, has written himself a nearly $400,000 check in an attempt to buy himself a congressional seat.” But Holden, as 20-year incumbents are apt to do, reported a healthy dose of funds coming from political action committees or other political organizations. His campaign tallied $258,705 from these types of donors, while Cartwright’s report only showed $8,200 from those groups. Both candidates’ reports are sprinkled with familiar names.

needs to raise and spend at least as much money as the incumbent,” Baldino said. “If the challenger exceeds what the incumbent spends, it markedly improves the odds of the challenger winning.” A Cartwright spokesman touted the campaign’s support among individual donors. According to the reports, he outraised Holden this reporting period by $127,683 in individual contributions. “Ninety-seven percent of our campaign’s raised contributions came from individuals from across the country who support Matt,” said Shane Seaver. “Meanwhile, nearly 60 percent of our opponent’s contributions came from PACs and lobbyists. That should tell you everything you need to know about who Tim Holden represents in Congress; clearly not the people of Northeastern Pennsylvania.” Holden’s campaign shot back by accusing Cartwright of trying to buy a seat in

Asked why he did not disclose his consulting role when discussing the project earlier this week, Murphy said Friday, “You didn’t ask.” Murphy also said he did not think there is anything wrong with using the Philadelphia law firm where his brother, a candidate for state attorney general, works. “My brother has not been involved in one meeting or one conversation with the parking authority, the city or anyone associated with the proposed project,” Murphy said. “I am not a bidder and I will not be working with any firm that may bid on this contract.” Karen Ceppa Hirko, a frequent critic of the mayor and city government, expressed concern over the cost of hiring Murphy. “He’s being paid $5 a minute,” Hirko said. “Imagine being at work and having someone hand you $5 every minute. There are a lot of people in this town who don’t make much more than that in an hour.” Hirko has asked City Council “to end this orchestrated waste of taxpayer dollars with an emergency meeting to end this madness now. Though I doubt they will.”

Those cases are handled by private court-appointed counsel. “If someone qualifies for counsel, we take the initial information for the court and it assigns counsel,” she said. “There is just no way we can spend that kind of resources and not pay somewhere else.” Kennedy, Blocher and Winnick all declined to comment on whether they agree with Flora’s decision to file suit, but each said they understand his frustrations. “I’d love to have more people, but the bottom line is the budget,” Kennedy said. “We’re in the middle of cutbacks in county services, so I don’t know how realistic that is at this point.”

In addition, all attorneys here are required to file and write their own briefs for appeals, which attorneys say is an extremely time consuming process. “That’s a lot to handle,” Blocher said when told of Luzerne County’s policy. “If we all had to handle appeals on top of everything else, it would be crushing.” Erie County, which has a fulltime equivalent staff of 12.5 attorneys, does not represent any person charged with homicide, said Chief Public Defender Patricia

He said when the bidders are deciding to put in a bid they will have questions about the city. “J.J. assisted the mayor in running the city,” Wohlstetter said. “He has the knowledge.” Wohlstetter said all involved are charging by the hour; he said they did not opt to seek a percentage of the final deal – if one is ever reached. He said those arrangements usually result in larger payments to the companies involved in the process. “The parking authority has spent $83,000 to date on this plan,” Wohlstetter said. “We’re all working darn hard. There are easier things in the world to do. This is not just something a lawyer can do – we need a team and we need leadership.” Members of the parking authority are: Katarsky, Paul Maher, chairman; Robert Jabers, Mary Ann King, daughter of the late James F.

HANOVER TWP. — Fielding a young lineup, Hanover Area wasn’t entirely sure what to expect in the early going. But after two weeks of the Wyoming Valley Conference baseball season, the Hawkeyes are not surprised to be in this position. Friday’s 6-3 home win against Meyers left Hanover Area as the lone unbeaten team in the league and atop the Division II standings. The Hawkeyes (3-0) still have nine games left in WVC play, but victories over fellow top contenders Meyers and Lake-Lehman give them an early edge. “I knew these kids, when they played to their potential, they were going to be tough to beat,” Hawkeyes coach Mike Zapotoski said. “But this early, you never think that they’re going to be playing this well. … It’s tough to expect them to come out and play as good as they are. “But this is our best start (since 2009). So I wouldn’t say I’m surprised that we’re 3-0. We’re very pleased that we’re 3-0.” The main factor once again for Hanover Area was starting pitcher Mickey Ferrence. After picking up the win against Lake-Lehman last week, the junior lefthander went the distance Friday, allowing just three hits and one earned run while striking out six. Ferrence was in command against the Mohawks, issuing just one walk and reaching a three-ball count just twice. After Meyers closed to within 5-3 in the fifth inning, Ferrence snuffed out the rally in the final two frames, getting six straight outs with just 15 pitches. “He’s one of the hardest-working kids I’ve ever coached,” Zapotoski said of his ace. “He’ll go home and lift weights and run the dyke. Hard work pays off for him. He busts his butt.” At the plate, Hanover Area broke things open in the bottom of the fourth. Already up 1-0 courtesy of a Zach Kollar sacrifice fly in the third, the Hawkeyes racked up four hits and took advantage of three Meyers errors to go up 5-0. A double by Mike Sulcoski got things started. Nick Deno, Mike Blazaskie (two-run double) and John Wickiser each drove in runs to cap the key inning. Meyers (1-2) struck back in the See HAWKEYES, Page 3B

Also, the Penguins clinched home ice advantage with Hershey’s 6-4 loss to Portland. But perhaps the biggest thing the Penguins gained during Friday’s 3-1 loss to Binghamton

The Hawkeyes added an insurance run in the sixth. Morrash took the loss for the Mohawks, giving up six hits and three earned runs in four innings. Matt DeMarco, Dakota Owen and Morrash had the hits for Meyers. Deno and Blazaskie had two apiece for the Hawkeyes. “We’ve gotten clutch hits when in years past maybe we weren’t getting them,” Zapotoski said. “This group, they have the ability to beat everyone. We’ve just got to keep playing like we’ve been.”

MMI breaks through with first home victory FREELAND – Two teams took the field looking for a breakthrough. One team got it. MMI Prep scored five times in the first inning and did not look back in a 10-0 victory over GAR in five innings Friday in a matchup of winless teams in Wyoming Valley Conference Division II softball. It was the Lady Preppers first win on their new home field. “Yesterday, going into practice, we wanted to focus on the little things,” MMI Prep coach Marsha Kringe said. “Bunting, slapping, hitting to the left side … it was amazing.” The Preppers (1-2 WVC-II) played the kind of game Kringe was looking for, generating offense -- nine hits -- and playing stellar defense -- no errors. The defense made sure pitcher Kayla Karchner’s two-hitter remained a shutout, as the Grenadiers (0-4) twice put a runner on third base. MMI Prep’s defense turned a double play after a leadoff triple by Brittany Stephenson in the second inning, as second baseman Maria Carrato caught a soft liner and threw to third baseman Devan McCarrie before Stephenson could return to the bag. Hayle Shearer had a fine running, and juggling, catch in left field on a fly ball. And catcher Amber Ferry found a foul pop-up in time to make a diving catch for

an out in the fourth inning. “We’ve been missing those our first few games,” Kringe said of the defensive plays. “Kayla’s been great. She came in this year and said she’d do anything to help the team. She’s proven she’s up to the task.” Karchner (double, two RBI, two runs) and Carrato (RBI, run) had the biggest days offensively for MMI Prep, each collecting two hits. Meanwhile, GAR struggled through five errors defensively and no sustained attack offensively. The Grenadiers had runners on base in every inning against Karchner, making it a long bus ride home for the squad. “Oh, absolutely,” GAR coach Barry Snyder said. “At least for me, anyway. That’s not how we play.” MMI Prep 10, GAR 0 GAR

HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL

By JOHN MEDEIROS jmedeiros@timesleader.com

“It’s our rivalry, so it means a lot,” Bone said. “It’s not just like one of those regular games.” There were a few near misses in the first 10-minute overtime for Wyoming Area, including an open-goal opportunity by Wyoming Area’s Valerie Bott that was broken up at the last second by Pittston Area’s Sarah Kosik. The offensive surge carried over to the second overtime, and Bone ended the game with a 30-yard laser that Pittston Area keeper Jordan Cumbo had no chance of stopping. Overtime didn’t appear imminent late in the second half. After withstanding some strong runs by Pittston Area’s Liz Mikitish and Allie Barber, Wyoming Area scored on a counterattack with four minutes left in regulation. Samantha Acacio started the play with a long pass to Bott, who connected from the right side for her fifth goal of the season. It came a minute or so after Pittston Area missed taking the lead when Madison Cardinale’s shot ricochet off a defender caromed just wide of the right post. The Patriots, though, got the equalizer with 1:43 left in regulation. Mikitish got a lot of leg behind a corner kick from the right side and the ball curved just as it reached Wyoming Area keeper Jordan Chiavacci. The shot hit Chiavacci’s hands and by the time she pounced on it, it was already in the goal. “I though it was pretty evenly

three-run home run and a triple among her four hits to lead the Black Knights to victory over the Blue Knights. Miranda Dembowski also tripled and drove in three for Lehman. Bri Headman drove in two runs and fanned eight to pick up the win.

they could so we couldn’t finish a scoring chance,” Street said. “We just weren’t on the gas pedal enough.” At the other end, Thiessen playd just as strong until a misfortunate play with less than four minutes remaining. As the puck rolled along the boards deep in the Penguins end, Thiessen skated behind the net to play it. That’s when the puck hit something in the corner and bounced out in front to Binghamton’s David Dziurzynksi, who buried it in the open net to put the Penguins down 3-1. “That’s a bad bounce, but we’re not talking about bad bounces,” Hynes said. “We didn’t play our best game tonight.” Now that home ice and a first round opponent are settled, the Penguins finish the season with two games against Bridgeport this weekend. Hynes said he won’t rest players because it’s more important that everyone gets their game in order before the playoffs start next Friday. “At least you know where you’re going to be and who you’re going to play. For us, it’s more about having a solid weekend so going into next week we feel good about our game,” Hynes said.

goal and a bunch of scoring chances, but nothing to convince the Penguins they are playoff ready. “When you’re going into the playoffs, you’re supposed to be playing a certain way. We weren’t tonight,” head coach John Hynes said. “We needed more intensity, more urgency and more commitment in our game. Ultimately, we got what we deserved tonight.” Ryan Craig put the Penguins on the board first when he tipped in a loose puck in the crease during a first period power play. That was all the offense the Penguins could muster for that night. “It was nice to get up1-0, but it’s what you do with it after,” Craig said. “It was one of those nights where we needed more.” The Senators tied it up near the end of the period with a goal from Mike Hoffman on the second and last shot they would take in the opening frame.

Nets dump Sixers behind Green’s 23 points The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Gerald Green scored 23 points, and Kris Humphries had 18 points and 13 rebounds to lead the New Jersey Nets to a 95-89 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night. Deron Williams had 11 points and 10 assists, MarShon Brooks scored 22 points and Jordan Williams had 13. New Jersey’s 13 road wins are four more than they have at home. Jrue Holiday led the Sixers with 19 points, Evan Turner had 18 and Thaddeus Young 13. The Sixers snapped a twogame winning streak and suffered a big blow in their push up the Eastern Conference standings. They started the game clinging to seventh place and play six of their final seven games on the road. This was a game they could not afford to lose. The Sixers, who started 20-9, have not won three straight games since March 7-11. Knicks 103, Wizards 65 NEW YORK — Baron Davis scored a season-high 18 points on his 33rd birthday, JR Smith had 23, and the New York Knicks surged into a tie for seventh place in the Eastern Conference by routing the Washington Wizards. Carmelo Anthony and Steve Novak also had 18 for the Knicks, who could now be looking at a playoff preview when they host second-place Miami

big lead. In the end, it didn’t matter. Pittsburgh led 2-0, 3-1, 4-3 and 5-4 but it still wasn’t enough. Kennedy’s goal early in the third period that put the Penguins up 5-4 appeared to give the Penguins the big goal they desperately needed. Instead Couturier scored 17 seconds later to tie it again, and Jagr put the Flyers in front for the first time with less than 11 minutes to go. Couturier netted the clincher with 1:49 remaining before Giroux capped his six-point night with an empty-net goal. The ending was in stark contrast to another electric start by the Penguins. Crosby needed all of 15 seconds to give Pittsburgh the lead, working a give-and-go off the opening faceoff with Steve Sullivan and ripping a one-timer by Bryzgalov. The goal tied Pittsburgh’s franchise mark for fastest goal to start a playoff game, set by Greg Malone against St. Louis in 1981. It also was the quickest allowed by Philadelphia in playoff history, breaking the mark of 21 seconds set by Chicago’s Jim Pappin in 1971. It failed to wake up the Flyers and the Penguins pushed the lead to 2-0 thanks to a reconstituted power play. Pittsburgh went 0 for 3 with the man advantage in the opener, so coach Dan Bylsma took Crosby off the top power-play line and inserted Sullivan. The group needed less than a minute to score, with Kunitz tap-

KURODA Continued from Page 1B

Joe Girardi began applauding the pitching effort as he walked to the mound to remove Kuroda, and a sold-out Yankee Stadium crowd followed his lead. The 41,336 fans gave Kuroda a standing ovation. "It’s the greatest feeling in the world," Kuroda said. "I’d like to repeat it as much as I can." "He’s the story of the game, eight shuout innings," Yankees captain Derek Jeter said. The Yankees lineup added plenty of subplots though, starting with the sluggers who drove 4-3 New York over the .500 mark for the first time this season. Granderson’s second homer in a week, a liner over the right field wall, finished the scoring in the fifth inning of a game where half

on Sunday. The Knicks tied Philadelphia after the 76ers lost earlier Friday to New Jersey, and New York holds the tiebreaker for the No. 7 seed. Anthony was well off his NBA-leading average of 32.4 points through his first five games in April. But he only played 29 minutes as the Knicks narrowly missed their second 40-point victory under interim coach Mike Woodson. Raptors 84, Celtics 79 TORONTO — DeMar DeRozan scored 13 of his 22 points in the third quarter and made four pivotal free throws down the stretch as the short-handed Toronto Raptors held off the Boston Celtics. DeRozan was a perfect 13for-13 from the line as the Raptors ended a four-game losing skid despite being without two of their top players. Big man Andrea Bargnani was shut down for the rest of 2011-12 with an aggravation of a lingering left calf injury that had forced him to miss nearly half the season, while point guard Jose Calderon was still feeling the effects of a right eye bruise and was kept out as a precaution. Heat 105, Bobcats 82 MIAMI — LeBron James had 19 points and nine rebounds to lead the Miami Heat to a victory over the Charlotte Bobcats.

series sweep of Charlotte. Miami led by 22 after three quarters and rested James, who also had five assists, the entire final period. The Heat, playing without Dwyane Wade again, improved to 11-1 in the star guard’s absence. He is expected back for Sunday’s game at New York. Derrick Brown had 21 points and nine rebounds to lead Charlotte, which lost its 15th straight. The Bobcats trailed 33-19 after the first quarter and got no closer than 15 points in the second half. Hawks 109, Magic 81 ORLANDO, Fla. — Jannero Pargo hit five 3-pointers and scored 17 points, and Joe Johnson, Josh Smith and Marvin Williams each had 16 as the Atlanta Hawks beat the Orlando Magic. The Hawks earned their third straight win over the Magic this season and have now won six consecutive regular-season meetings over their division mates. Atlanta shot 50 percent from the field (40 for 79) for the game, including 14 3-pointers. The Hawks led by 35 at one point. Glen Davis and Von Wafer each scored 16 points to lead the Magic. Orlando lost its second straight and fell to 1-4 without center Dwight Howard, who sat for the fifth time in seven games with back spasms.

Bucks 113, Pistons 97 AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Drew Gooden scored 26 points, and the Milwaukee Bucks pulled away from the Detroit Pistons in the third quarter for a muchneeded win. Milwaukee is in ninth place in the Eastern Conference, trailing the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers by two games in the race for the playoffs. Brandon Jennings had 20 points and 10 assists for Milwaukee, which had all five starters score in double figures. Brandon Knight scored 25 points for the Pistons.

DCNR to alert anglers

The Associated Press

SUNRISE, Fla. — Martin Brodeur stopped 24 shots for his 100th postseason win, and a threegoal first period was enough to help the New Jersey Devils spoil the Florida Panthers’ longawaited return to the Stanley Cup playoffs in a 3-2 victory Friday night. Patrik Elias, Dainius Zubrus and Ryan Carter scored in a span of just over 8 minutes in the opening period for the Devils. Brodeur also picked up an assist for his 10th postseason point, and became the second goalie in NHL history to reach triple-figures in playoff wins. Only Patrick Roy has more, with 151. Sean Bergenheim and Kris Versteeg scored for Florida, which was in its first postseason game since losing to Brodeur and the Devils on April 20, 2000. Jose Theodore made 35 saves for the Panthers. Game 2 is Sunday night. Red Wings 3, Predators 2 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Ian White and Cory Emmerton scored in the first period, and the Detroit Red Wings got the best revenge against the Nashville Predators with a victory that evened the opening series 1-1. Johan Franzen also scored, and Jimmy Howard made 24 saves as the Red Wings answered Nashville defenseman Shea Weber being fined only $2,500 for smashing Henrik Zetterberg’s head into the glass at the end of Game 1 on

ping in a pass from James Neal to give the Penguins an early twogoal lead for the second straight game and the fourth time in the last five meetings between the teams. Philadelphia coach Peter Laviolette burned his timeout to give his team a now well-worn wakeup

call. And as usual, it provided immediate results. Crosby’s turnover turned into a short-handed breakaway for Giroux. Marc-Andre Fleury made the initial save, but Talbot — a key cog of Pittsburgh’s 2009 Stanley Cup run — knocked in the rebound. The Penguins, unlike Game 1

when the Flyers scored the final four goals, responded. Crosby’s deft drop pass to Martin turned into the defenseman’s third career playoff goal and first in four years. And just like Wednesday, a three-goal first period wasn’t nearly enough.

of the Yankees eight hits went for extra bases. And in the middle of that offense, A-Rod launched the 630th home run of his career over the center field wall to start the third inning, tying his former Seattle teammate Ken Griffey Jr. for fifth place on baseball’s all-time list. "It definitely means I’m getting old," Rodriguez joked. "It was just a special day." It started with a tribute to former Yankees stalwart catcher Jorge Posada, who retired after last season and threw out Friday’s first pitch. "Probably a Hall of Fame player," Girardi called Posada. Then it was time for the current Yankee players to shine. And they didn’t wait long. A-Rod rifled a two-out single to left field, Robinson Cano and Mark Teixeira both drew walks, and Nick Swisher slammed a three-run double to center field

to get Yankee Stadium hopping with delight. "It was electric," Swisher said. "I was on second base, I didn’t know what to do. Today was a great day for us." It got better when Kuroda took the mound. Slapped around for six runs in 52⁄3 innings while taking the loss at Tampa Bay during his Yankees debut last week, Kuroda grew more comfortable quickly in his new home. Erick Aybar singled and stole second against Kuroda to start the game, but that was the only Angels baserunner to advance past first. "He was aggressive this game," Yankees pitching coach Larry Rothschild said in praise of Kuroda. "He went out there trying to prove what kind of pitcher he is." If this was any indication, the Yankees may have picked up an

ace. Kuroda ended the second and fourth innings by getting double play grounders, struck out two batters in the third inning and didn’t allow a baserunner through the sixth, seventh and eighth innings. "I think I was too careful in my last outing," Kuroda said. "Since my last outing wasn’t really good, I wanted to do a much better job today. This stadium is one I feel comfortable in." He left reliever David Robertson to seal the victory by recording a double-play and a gameending strikeout, but Kuroda gave no outward signs of being touched by the ovation for him. "I really appreciate what the fans did," Kuroda said. "But this was only one game. If this were the last game of the World Series, I would have tipped my hat. But we have a long road ahead of us."

HARRISBURG -- Pennsylvania’s statewide trout season begins Saturday, prompting the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to urge anglers and other woodland visitors to take steps to prevent wildfires. "We ask trout anglers and other visitors to be extremely careful because fire danger ranges from high to very high across much of the state," DCNR secretary Richard Allan said. "One act of carelessness could prove disastrous among tinder-dry conditions in some of our forests, where wildfire dangers climb with each day of sun and wind." Open fires are forbidden on state forestland when the fire

danger is listed as high, very high or extreme. Recent wildfires driven by gusting winds and fueled by tinder-dry fields and forests have kept volunteer and Bureau of Forestry firefighters busy across much of the state. Most serious was a blaze that threatened homes, forced evacuations and left 400 to 500 acres scorched in the French Creek State Park area of Berks County. In the past week, bureau personnel have responded to more than 140 fires that burned 1,201 acres, statewide. Three fires, including the Berks County blaze and others in Luzerne and Cameron counties, each burned more than 100 acres.

the ninth. Buffalo scored a run in the bottom of the ninth off Yankees closer Kevin Whelan and threatened for more with two on and no out, but Whelan induced a groundball out and struck out the final two batters for his first save of the season. The Yankees will play their “home” opener this afternoon at 4 at Syracuse’s Alliance Bank Stadium against the Chiefs. SWB right-hander Adam Warren (1-0, 18.00) will take the hill against Syracuse lefty Zach Duke (1-0, 1.50) All nine players in the Yankees starting lineup contributed with either a hit or run batted in. Wise finished 4-for-5, while Cust was 2for-3 and scored three runs. Doug Bernier had a 2-for-4 afternoon, while Wise and Laird each had two RBI.

and another in the second when Lucas May homered to put SWB in an early 3-0 hole. A run in the fourth by the Yankees on a groundout got them on the board at 3-1. Then came the big inning in the fifth. That’s when Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre batted around plating four runs on three hits. The team also capitalized on drawing two walks and one Bisons error. Ramiro Pena smacked an RBIdouble in the frame, Dewayne Wise plated two on a bases-loaded single, and the final run of the inning came home on groundout by Colin Curtis to open a 5-3 lead.

Mets get Phils to knuckle under The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — R.A. Dickey threw seven sharp innings, Jason Bay hit a tworun homer and the New York Mets beat Cliff Lee and the Philadelphia Phillies 5-2 on Friday night. Scott Hairston also homered for the surprising Mets, who are off to a 5-2 start. Freddy Galvis hit his first major league homer for the Phillies. The five-time defending NL East champs are 3-4. Dickey (2-0) allowed just one run despite nine hits. The knuckleballer struck out seven and lowered his ERA against Philadelphia to 2.40 in seven career starts. Dickey has compiled 14 straight quality starts — six or more innings with three earned runs or less — dating to last July 25.

Chicago has scored 17 runs the last two games after totaling 19 runs in the first six.

Red Sox take Fenway opener behind Beckett The Associated Press

BOSTON — Josh Beckett pitched eight solid innings and the Boston Red Sox rebounded from a rough road trip with a 12-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday in their home opener. The Red Sox began their 101st season at Fenway Park. Boston entered the game with a 1-5 record that included a 10-0 loss to the Detroit Tigers in which Beckett (1-1) allowed five homers. But he limited the Rays to five hits and one walk. He struck out just one, getting Carlos Pena in the eighth and extending his streak to 281 games with at least one strikeout since the start of his career. Only Dwight Gooden has a longer streak to begin his career, 349 games from 1984 to 1997. White Sox 5, Tigers 2

CHICAGO — Jake Peavy pitched effectively into the seventh inning and Dayan Viciedo homered and made a key catch Friday as the Chicago White Sox defeated the Detroit Tigers. Peavy (1-0) took a one-hitter and a 3-0 lead into the seventh. He walked Miguel Cabrera and Delmon Young’s two-out, tworun homer finished him. Alex Avila singled off reliever Will Ohman and Jhonny Peralta followed with a double against Addison Reed before Viciedo made a diving catch of Andy Dirks’ sinking liner to left field to end the inning. Indians 8, Royals 3

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Mi-

chael Brantley had a pair of hits during a seven-run first inning, and the Cleveland Indians roughed up Luke Hochevar before knocking him from the game. Shin-Soo Choo and Jason Kipnis each drove in a pair as the Indians scored more times in the opening inning than they had in any of their first five games. Asdrubal Cabrera added a solo homer in the ninth for good measure. The seven runs allowed by Hochevar (1-1) in the first inning matched the number of runs that Kansas City starters had allowed during a six-game road trip to begin the season. Orioles 7, Blue Jays 5

TORONTO — Wilson Betemit hit a two-run single in the eighth inning and the Baltimore Orioles rallied to beat the Toronto Blue Jays. Darren O’Day (1-0) worked one inning of relief for the win and James Johnson closed it out for his third save as the Orioles opened a 10-game road trip, their longest of the season. Rangers 4, Twins 1

MINNEAPOLIS — Matt Harrison breezed through eight innings and Ian Kinsler homered to lead the Texas Rangers past Minnesota. Harrison (2-0) allowed one run on seven hits with four strikeouts and Elvis Andrus had three hits for the Rangers. Manager Ron Washington elected to go with Alexi Ogando to pitch the ninth for the save over Joe Nathan, who spent the previous seven years in Minnesota.

NEW YORK — Tom Benson brought stability to the Saints nearly three decades ago and now plans to do the same for the Hornets in small-market New Orleans. The Saints’ owner agreed Friday to purchase the Hornets from the NBA. “We expect this club to be one of the most outstanding clubs in the league, otherwise I don’t want to get involved,” Benson said. “This is just a good thing and I’m just glad to be a part of it.” A person familiar with the deal says the purchase price is $338 million. The NBA has been trying to sell the Hornets since buying the club from founder George Shinn in December 2010. While preparing the team for sale the league negotiated a new lease for the Hornets to remain in the stateowned New Orleans Arena through 2024. The sale of the team to Benson has to be approved by the NBA’s Board of Governors, which is meeting in New York on Friday. The 84-year-old Benson, a New Orleans-native, has owned the Saints since 1985, when he stepped in to block efforts by other prospective investors to move the NFL franchise to Jacksonville, Fla. Now Benson has made another major investment to stabilize the NBA’s presence in the Big Easy on the same day that the Hornets were hosting the Utah Jazz, the very team New Orleans lost to relocation in 1979.

FORT WORTH, Texas — Matt Kenseth has led more laps than anybody in Texas, current points leader Greg Biffle has seven consecutive top-10 finishes, and Carl Edwards is the only three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup winner there. The 11⁄2-mile, high-banked track certainly suits the Roush Fenway drivers. “I don’t really know why, but it has been a pretty good track for us in the past,” said Kenseth, who has two wins and 13 top-10 finishes in 19 starts. “Whenever you come back to a track you’ve had success at, then I think you probably always look forward to coming back to it maybe a little bit more.” Owner Jack Roush was winning races at Texas Motor Speedway even before his current trio of drivers. He has been to Victory Lane and gathered quite a winning collection of cowboy hats by taking eight of 22 races. Jeff Burton won the inaugural Texas race in 1997 driving for Roush, and Mark Martin won the following year when there was still only one Cup race a year at the track. “You feel like you need to capitalize when you come to this track,” Kenseth said. “You feel like yourself or one of your team cars needs to have a shot to win, and you should all be

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — Colt Knost believes he’s finally ready to succeed on the PGA Tour, no matter how much work he’s got ahead at the RBC Heritage. Knost shot a 6-under 66 on Friday to take a two-stroke lead over Carl Pettersson after the second round. Knost, tied for the first-round lead with Chad Campbell and Vaughn Taylor after a 67, had three birdies in a four-hole stretch midway through the round and finished at 9-under 133. Pettersson had a 65, his best ever showing in 32 career rounds at Harbour Town Golf Links. Two-time RBC Heritage winner Boo Weekley (66) and Harris English (68) were another shot off the lead at 6 under in a week when Masters champion Bubba Watson and most of the world’s best took a break following the year’s first major. World No. 1 Luke Donald, though, was among the few stars at Harbour Town. He needs a top-eight finish to retain the top spot over idle No. 2, Rory McIlroy, and bounced back from an opening 75 with a 69 to slide inside the cut line. Campbell (70) and Robert Garrigus (66) were four shots

to happen.” But the special bookend for Hendrick’s 200th victory didn’t happen after Clint Bowyer’s aggressive move past front-runners Johnson and Jeff Gordon on a late restart. Ryan Newman won and Hendrick driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., finished third in that last race before the Easter weekend break. All three Roush drivers Saturday night had top-five finishes in both Texas races last year. “It is a fun race track for me and for our team,” said Biffle, who had a win in 2005, three years before his stretch of top-10 finishes started. “It is nice to come to a track where if during practice you are slow or have trouble qualifying or are slow during the race, you know you can fix it and you can go out and win. We have that confidence. It is nice to sit in a race car and know that we can do this.”

running up toward the front.” That is where the Roush drivers hope and expect to be Saturday in the first scheduled night race of the season. Remember, the rain-postponed Daytona 500 was run on a Monday night. Owners Joe Gibbs and Rick Hendrick both have three victories in Texas, the closest to Roush. Hendrick Motorsports is still looking for its first win this season. The next one will be the owner’s 200th in a career that began in 1984 when Geoffrey Bodine won at Martinsville. “We’re thinking about it all the time, and Rick reminds us all the time to get it out of the way,” Jimmie Johnson said. “Man, we’ve been all around it, and have had a lot of shots at it this year. ... We had one through three locked up there at the end of Martinsville, and felt like that was the day for it

behind. Defending champion Brandt Snedeker had five consecutive birdies on the way to a 67 and was tied with Michael Bradley (64), Kevin Na (68), Bob Estes (67) and Fredrik Jacobson (67) at 4 under. The 26-year-old Knost was one of the fastest risers in golf a few years ago, winning the U.S. Amateur, the U.S. Public Links championship and helping the American team win the Walker Cup in 2007. He won twice on the Nationwide Tour in 2008, his first season as a pro, and easily qualified for the big tour. Even more winning was ahead, right? “I felt like I was ready for this level out here,” Knost said. “And apparently, I wasn’t.”

Firm will add 60 jobs

Maximus, which provides administrative services to government programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program, announced Friday it will open a new regional office in the Glenmaura Corporate Center in Moosic that will employ about 60 health professionals and other staff at salaries between $45,000 and $65,000 per year.

PHILADELPHIA — Developer Bart Blatstein wants to build a casino, entertainment and retail complex on the property he owns along Callowhill Street between Broad and 17th and turn the iconic Inquirer/Daily News building into a hotel. Stretching over three blocks, the development will be anchored by the only downtown casino in a “top five major city,” Blatstein said, and will be a major economic engine in North Philly. The project depends on Blatstein securing the state casino license that is availa-

nos in Pennsylvania set aside two licenses in Philadelphia. One group of local investors, originally operating under the name Foxwoods, won a license but failed to open a casino here, prompting the Gaming Control Board to revoke the license in December 2010. At least three state legislators worked up legislation that would allow investors in other parts of the state to bid for the Philadelphia license. The state Supreme Court on March 29 rejected the last gasp of appeal from the Foxwoods investors, opening the way for rebidding the license.

Mike and Ike union goes sour Mike and Ike, the dapper mustachioed icons for the chewy fruit-flavored candy made by Just Born of Bethlehem, are going their separate ways after a six decade union. In an unconventional, tongue-incheek advertising campaign, Just Born began touting the separation on Mike and Ike’s Facebook page this month. As far as advertising campaigns go, this one seems to be working quite well.

Car buyers paying out for extras By ALISA PRIDDLE Detroit Free Press

DETROIT — Vehicles are fetching record average prices of $30,748, up 6.9 percent from a year ago, but don’t blame the automakers. This is not a case of price gouging. Consumers are choosing more expensive trim levels and options for their new vehicles as a rebounding industry is producing more closely to market demand. After decades of training customers to wait for the biggest rebate or cut-rate lease, buyers are coming to terms with a seller’s market. Post-recession, there are fewer dealers in the U.S. Most have less inventory on the lot. Then factor in more available credit for consumers who are finally ready to replace their aging vehicles with more fuel-efficient ones and prices that have found their natural equilibrium. Average prices will increase in the next few months, level off, and then see small increases again next year, said Jesse Toprak, vice president of industry trends at online research firm TrueCar.com. In 2005-06, Detroit automakers routinely offered discounts of 15 percent to 20 percent. “Now it’s 5 percent,” Toprak said, with production more in line with demand. The consolation is vehicles are holding their residual value better and used car prices have never been higher. “Consumers are being weaned off incentives, but not voluntarily,” said analyst Joe Phillippi of AutoTrends Consulting in Andover, N.J. “Nobody wants to pay retail (sticker price), but now they are being forced to pay close to it.” Consumers are not balking. U.S. auto sales in March ran at a 14.4 million annual sales rate, up from 13.1 million in March 2011. GM’s vehicles sold in March at an average price of $33,289, 3.4 percent higher than a year earlier, according to TrueCar data. At Ford, the new Focus is selling for $3,100 more than the outgoing model, Mark Fields, Ford president of the Americas, told investors this month in New York. NATURAL GAS $1.98

The amount of rain I expect here this weekend will hardly put a dent in the deﬁcit this spring which is now up to between 3 and 4 inches below normal. As a warm front approaches, expect showers after 5 p.m. There is only the slight chance for thunder and rainfall amounts will be a quarter inch or less. Another shower could arrive on Sunday. Then on Monday, we'll reach the peak of the warm-up as readings soar above 80, our warmest weather since Sept. 4. Indeed, you'll need a good excuse for being absent.

sk Kathleen Godwin and John Pacovsky to pose in front of the Aframe house they expect to leave and they go all “American Gothic.” Godwin mentions the famous painting by Grant Wood, Pacovsky grabs a pitchfork, and – voila! – they’ve added one more creative moment to the 18 years of memories Godwin has experienced in a peacefully remote section of Plymouth Township. It’s only about eight miles from downtown Wilkes-Barre, but the area is so woodsy it has a certain Hansel-and-Gretel ambience. “Did you leave a trail of bread crumbs so you can find your way back?” Godwin asks visitors with a laugh. Seriously, the house isn’t all that difficult to find if you have good directions. But you definitely can’t see it from the road. And for Godwin, who moved here in 1994 with her husband, the late theater professor J. Gerald Godwin, the quarter-mile, forested dri-

veway is part of its charm. “When we first came to see the place, we were halfway down the driveway and I said, ‘I don’t care what it looks like, I want it,’ ” she said, admitting she revels in the peace of close to eight acres that probably have more deer than people. “It gives me a place to exhale,” said Godwin, who has been especially busy in recent years establishing Arts YOUniverse and the Arts Seen gallery in downtown WilkesBarre, teaching acting classes, helping to organize the Fine Arts Fiesta, and oh, yes, managing financial accounts for a few clients. But, soon Godwin and her friend-turnedsignificant-other John Pacovsky will move to the Buffalo, N.Y., area, so Godwin can be closer to her elderly parents and other relatives. When will they go? “As soon as I can sell the house,” Godwin said. Speaking of the selling process, a Realtor recently pointed to a blank spot where wall See HAVEN, Page 2C

Selling the family home means letting go of a legacy By BILL WARD Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

MINNEAPOLIS — Chris Smith grimaced as he surveyed the faded floral carpet in his parents’ upstairs hall, then sidled past the small cross and family photos and into a corner bedroom. He waved both arms, semaphore-style, toward the back window. “Right across the roof and down over the porch, an easy exit,” he said, recalling frequent, furtive late-night forays from his high-school years. “And out there was where my dad built a sweet tree fort. That’s where I broke my arm when I was 5 years old.” Smith, who at 45 looks fit enough to bound across that roof again, is in a particularly nostalgic mood these days. Like many folks whose elderly parents no longer can take care of themselves, he’s faced with selling the house he grew up in. “That house is the only context I really know my parents in,” he said of the Edina, Minn., home his folks built. “It’s

tough to think of somebody else living there and you can’t go to the yard anymore.” Smith’s task is bittersweet because he’s trying to sell a house that’s been in his family since he was born, a house permeated with memories. He’s not alone. The quarter-century after World War II saw an unprecedented housing boom. Many young couples who bought homes in the 1940s and ’50s raised their families there and didn’t leave until they died or moved into assisted-living facilities. Mary Thorpe-Mease’s 95-year-old mother died in September. Her south Minneapolis home had been a gathering place for friends and extended family members for 68 years. “At one point during World War II, we had 13 people living in the house and only one bathroom,” said ThorpeMease, 72. “One of my cousins called and said, ‘I can’t believe people are going to look at our house,’ and it was

never her house, but she lived there for a while. “We had wedding receptions and celebrations after funerals and baptisms, just a lot of really wonderful history. Last year we took a photo of (nearly 50) members of the extended family sitting on the front porch, our iconic front steps. None of us can really believe we’re not going to have those

steps.” Last year, 15 percent of U.S. home sales involved dwellings that had been in the same hands for more than 20 years, according to the National Association of Realtors. A century ago, several generations might all be living in the same house, so these transactions See FAMILY, Page 2C

nce upon a time, a long time ago but not so far away, a marauding band of hellions faced some equally menacing mutineers in a property showdown that has since achieved almost-legend status, at least in the minds of the four former tax deductions who can still recount it. All the poor innocents – “hellions” was just hyperbole – were trying to do was buy a house, so they surely deserved a warmer reception. We didn’t own the house, after all. Merely lived in it, contributing nothing more to the family pot than the tax breaks or maybe a tiny percentage of proceeds from you name the failed backyard enterprise operated with the next-door-neighbor kids, everything from a traveling circus company to a full-service “detective” agency to a penny-candy resale stand. But that was the point. This was the family house, full of our footprints. We might have been a quartet of Judgy McJudgies who only acted like we owned it, but my siblings and I (four of us then) weren’t about to let just anyone line up on our steps rocking their bunny ears for the Easter photo. Pity the actual owners of this property – one Mom and one Dad who neither requested nor needed a band of junkyard dogs chasing potential buyers away, especially when the hostility made no sense, considering we were all pretty excited about the new house/ neighborhood in our future. No matter. When the other mom and other dad showed up with the other kids – outnumbering and overshadowing us – and professed intentions to stomp through our chambers, we knew we must act. We’d seen that “Brady Bunch” – hasn’t everyone of a certain age? – in which the kids unleash the “ghosts” on potential buyers, so we had some ideas, though they probably honestly didn’t advance far beyond “let’s give them dirty looks.” But speaking of looks, if they looked OK we might play nice, maybe even lay out some “perks” of life in our land: • One kid bedroom with a window directly across from a next-door kid bedroom where nifty items could pass to and fro in the night with just a bit of effort. • A veritable “kid kingdom” that was a combination of normal-size room and closed-in porch. Two tiers of terrific for two or more lucky occupants. • A nifty location, at least to a kid, next door to the school, which boasted an old triangular metal structure better than any store-bought jungle gym, and a stone’s throw from the church. A strong-willed family dog could find a way into both, even while Mass was in session. Ours did, and what a big moment for an unabashed adolescent. But for whatever reason (surely not a good one) we didn’t like the look of one of the first sets of prospects and decided we had no choice but to go all young Von Trapp on them and run them out on a rail, which may or may not have happened in the long run. All I know is they weren’t the people who eventually bought the place. So whether we’d succeeded or not, to our unevolved minds the Alamo had been defended. (See related story on this page, which prompted this memory-laden missive). Do any of us still cling like this? How long does a house actually stay with a family these days, physically or otherwise? At least anecdotally, I’m reading, the times they are a’ changing, as quickly as the family unit. Kids don’t usually come in mini armies anymore, for one thing. Too bad. And we move a lot more often. On, up and away. Most recently I’ve been reading of a coming new age of “golden girls,” women outliving men, then living together, in high style, the lanai becoming the new “stoop,” which is OK with me. (Long live Bette White, and may I recommend “Off Their Rockers” on NBC?) Neighborhoods have fewer kids running around, it’s been said, and actually Grandma’s all the rage right now. Good for her. The future looks sassy for yesteryear’s real hellions.

What’s new S.C. Johnson is now offering some of its most popular cleaning products in concentrated form. The company recently introduced 2.9-ounce bottles of Windex, Fantastik, Pledge, Scrubbing Bubbles and Shout Carpet concentrates. A bottle of concentrate is mixed with water to fill a trigger spray bottle. The bottles use 79 percent less plastic than a standard bottle, and the smaller amounts of liquid require less fuel to transport, the company says. The concentrates are available only online at www.scjgreenchoices.com. You can buy a single bottle of concentrate for $2.50, a trigger bottle for 50 cents or a starter kit for $5, containing two bottles of one type of concentrate and a trigger bottle. Shipping is $3.

meets sloping ceiling and suggested it needed something. Within the past week, Pacovsky devoted two days to painting a portrait of two angels that look like Raphael’s thoughtful cherubs. The wall is blank no longer. Pacovsky – painter of Absolut Vodka and Grande Absente advertisements, creator of “life-size box people” as well as the large mural in Wilkes-Barre’s Midtown Village – also enjoys the peace of the Plymouth Township retreat, describing the sense of quiet as “really magical.” But he’s ready to pack up his paintbrushes and accompany Godwin. “Do you know anybody else who cares so much about other people?” he asked after Godwin mentioned trying to help an acting student who has Down syndrome get a professional gig. For Godwin, it’s bittersweet to leave the area and the house that has been home so long. It’s the place where her late husband strapped on a set of kneepads and helped a crew of professionals finish the first floor, where his grandchildren enjoyed peeking down at the grown-ups from an area she called “the catwalk,” where up to 30 guests gathered for holiday dinners around a long, rectangular table. She’ll say goodbye to obvious assets, such as a wood-burning fireplace that afforded a cozy spot

were rarer. Nowadays, the people who grew up in these homes have the option of “keeping it in the family” by purchasing the home for themselves. But there can be geographical, emotional or even logistical barriers. Linda Halvorson said she would have considered buying her parents’ south Minneapolis home of 60 years, “but we already had purchased my motherin-law’s house. So we had already done the mother and father thing and gone through the emotions of doing that. “They (her husband’s parents) moved first, what can I say?” she asked with a chuckle. Barb Fellman of Bemidji, Minn., didn’t have that option when her childhood home in Brooten, Minn., went on the market last year. Other family members made the decision. “I was disappointed that I wasn’t consulted, but it wouldn’t have changed anything,” she said. “It

to play the guitar, the large windows that allowed plenty of light for rug weaving, jigsaw-puzzle assembly and other projects, and an outdoor, in-ground swimming pool. And she’ll say goodbye to subtle memories, such as the photos of Jerry and herself, celebrating the work he did to finish the house, that she secreted like a time capsule under some floorboards. “I’ll leave them for the

next person,” she said. In New York Godwin can recreate such artistic nuances as the pile of logs in the backyard that have been painted to resemble oversize colored pencils – “It’s easy enough to do,” she said – and maybe even the bathroom décor, where she drew fish freehand, with a crayon, on the tub. Her sisters, Eva and Silva, helped Godwin fill in the fish

with tile, but one last, whimsical touch – a little skeleton of a fish, is pure Kathleen. “How’s that for something to look at when you’re on the can?” she asked. It can be difficult to bid farewell to all the bits and pieces that make a house a home, or an artists’ haven, but it’s OK, really. Godwin and Pacovsky will be taking their creativity with them.

“Everyone has a different timetable of when they come to grips with it. You just have to let it unfold.”

“There are typically one or two family members who are more tied to the house, whether it’s the oldest sibling or daughter or whoever took care of the ailing parent,” she said. “Everyone has a different timetable of when they come to grips with it. You just have to let it unfold.” In most cases, Richards said, the sellers are not in a “let’s just get this over with” mode. “It’s typically quite the opposite,” she said, “because it’s the last thing they have to hold onto. It’s letting go of a legacy.” That’s the pace she and Thorpe-Mease, her mother, have adopted with her grandmother’s home. The women are taking their time to prepare the brick foursquare-style house for the market. “It’s an older house and needs so much work,” Thorpe-Mease said. “My mom’s family lost their house in the Depression; they were foreclosed. When she and dad bought the house, they paid it off quickly. They took a homeequity (loan) in 1952 and built on to the back and redid the kitchen. When we talked to her about selling the house, I’d say, ‘It

needs a new kitchen,’ and she’d say, ‘It has a new kitchen.’ ” Richards said the real-estate market also has made her feel less urgency about getting the house ready to sell. While she acknowledges that the market is improving, home sales remain balky. Smith started talking to his parents about moving into assisted-care housing five years ago, before the real-estate bubble burst. Now four of the seven houses on the cul-de-sac are up for sale, and an appraiser estimated that the house will fetch about half of what it would have in 2007. “But the house and lot cost $40,000,” Smith said, “so it’s money nobody ever had. There’s no sense crying over it — although I kind of am.” Smith said his parents’ stay in the family home as the market went from bull to bear actually helped him prepare to say goodbye. “If it was just a clean tear and break out of here, it would be harder,” he said. “But I’ve seen this day coming for a long time now.”

was the right decision.” Now that Fellman has no relatives in Brooten, she said she felt “very sad to not have a reason to go back to that town again.” But she said she began taking leave of the house years earlier, when her parents still owned it. “My old bedroom, you personalize that when you’re a teenager,” Fellman said. “So it was harder for me when they changed that room into a guest room than when they physically moved out.” Fellman’s situation — having several family members involved in making a decision — is not uncommon. Margaret Thorpe Richards, a Realtor at Coldwell Banker Burnet, has seen a pattern in handling several such scenarios.

On the shelf As the cost of sewage treatment rises, reducing stormwater runoff becomes a more pressing issue. One of the most attractive ways to address the problem is a rain garden, a landscaping feature that collects runoff and helps to clean the water naturally. Horticulturist Lynn M. Steiner and hydrology scientist Robert W. Domm introduce readers to this form of landscaping in “Rain Gardens: Sustainable Landscaping for a Beautiful Yard and Healthy World.” They explain the benefits, offer instructions and tips on installing a garden and help readers choose the right plants and keep their gardens looking their best. Along the way, they offer a little education about ecological issues, teaching readers ways to avoid polluting water, solve drainage problems and capture and reuse the water that falls in the form of precipitation. “Rain Gardens” is published by Voyageur Press and sells for $24.99 in softcover. -- McClatchy Tribune Information Services

sure that high will wear out your fixtures, she said. Water pressure of 50 to 55 pounds per square inch is average, she said, and fixtures aren’t made to handle pressure higher than 70 psi. However, Geary wondered why your condo complex doesn’t have a main water-pressure valve for the whole complex. You might want to check whether it does, and if so, suggest it might not be working properly. She also thought your estimate looked high and suggested you get quotes from other plumbers.

Q&A Q: I live in a condominium that’s about 40 years old. A plumber was repairing something the other day, saw that the main water valve had some corrosion and said he thought it should be replaced. Also, he discovered the water pressure was about 85. He said anything above 80 can damage the pipes, so we should get a water-pressure valve installed. Both of the repairs are about $700. Is it worth spending the money? A: Yes, Wadsworth, Ohio, plumber Cathy Geary said, but with a couple of caveats. Geary said older-style main valves can sometimes continue to work with some corrosion, but you’re taking a chance. Should a pipe leak or burst, you might not be able to shut off your main water supply. A water-pressure valve is also important, because water pres-

SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 2012

St. Paul’s Church announces events MOUNTAIN TOP: St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Mountain Top, has announced the following activities: • St. Paul’s Book of Faith Bible Study group will meet at 7 p.m. Monday. The group is discussing the book, “The Greatest Story.” • St. Paul’s will participate in Adopt A Highway at 9:30 a.m. April 22 during Sunday School. Adults and teens are encouraged to help. Those ages 12 and younger must attend with a parent. Permission forms will be available. • One worship service, for St. Paul’s 100th anniversary, will be celebrated at 10 a.m. April 29 at the church. An anniversary banquet will follow at 1 p.m. at the Stage Coach Inn, Route 309, Drums. Reservations for the banquet need to be made by April 18. An open house at the church, including a historical display documenting the life and ministries of St. Paul’s, will begin at 6 p.m. April 28 prior to a special musical celebration. Fellowship and refreshments will follow. • In observance of April as Child Abuse Prevention Month, a pinwheel garden is being planted in front of the church. The pinwheel represents a carefree childhood of safety and security. Pinwheels are being sold throughout the month for $1 and may be planted at the church or in your own garden. The money raised will go to Pennsylvania’s Chapter of Prevent Child Abuse America, a national organization that tries to build awareness, provide education, and involve itself in efforts to prevent neglect and abuse of children. • WELCA is planning a bus trip to Vanity Fair in Reading, on May 12. Participants will meet at St. Paul’s at 7:15 a.m. They will depart from Vanity Fair at 4 p.m., stop to eat, at their own cost, at the Cracker Barrel in Hamburg, and arrive back in Mountain Top around 7:30 p.m. Cost for the trip is $22.

SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 2012 PAGE 5C

Teenage girl chasing the limelight should keep her feet on the ground Dear Abby: I am a 16-year-old girl and I want to become famous. My mom says that’s not a real job. I was in magazines when I was little, but now that I’m older, I want to be a singer or actress. What should I do? Heading For Fame in Ohio Dear Heading: Fame, if one can achieve it, is usually accomplished after years of planning and hard work. If there is community theater in your area, volunteer and become involved. Plan to study another subject so you can support yourself if it takes awhile for you to become famous. (This is called “Plan B.”)

DEAR ABBY

know, or should my sister and I take it to our graves? — Two Sisters in California

ADVICE

Dear Sisters: Your father’s time on earth is over. Your mother has gone on with her life. I see no reason to revisit your father’s probable indiscretions at this late date. It’s time to let him and this subject rest in peace.

Dear Abby: My father passed away four years ago. Right after his funeral I found a bottle of Viagra hidden in the trunk of his car. My sister and I agreed that we should keep it to ourselves and not tell my mother, but I feel guilty keeping this secret. My father had multiple affairs while he was married to Mom, so it wouldn’t surprise me if he was cheating on her. Because of conversations that I have had with her, I am 100 percent sure she didn’t know he was using Viagra. My mother remarried two years ago. Does she have the right to

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

Dear Abby: I love my husband dearly, but I have a problem. He talks too much. I’ll give you an example: Instead of saying I’d had surgery, he told people I’d had surgery because when I laughed I would wet my pants, so they had to go in and resuspend my bladder. The latest is, he posted something on Facebook about a family member

CRYPTOQUOTE

that was also very personal. I have asked him many times to keep details between us, but it does no good. What can I say to him to get this point across? I’m at a loss. — Frustrated in the South Dear Frustrated: It’s not what you should say to him, it’s what you should NOT say. Be careful about sharing sensitive information with him and warn your relatives to do the same. Dear Abby: I have a message for seniors and others who live alone: You need a friend or neighbor to keep in touch with you. Recently at the condo complex where I live, someone complained to the management office about a dog that wouldn’t stop bark-

ing. When there was no answer on the phone or at the door, they went in. The woman had died and no one knew but her dog. Our single neighbors now make a point of keeping in touch, if only to say hello and let us know they’re OK. — Connected in Palm Court, Fla. Dear Connected: That’s good advice — because the sad circumstance you described happens more often than most people would think. A word to the wise ...

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

GOREN BRIDGE WITH OMAR SHARIF & TANNAH HIRSCH PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll display the signals that indicate that you’re mildly interested in what someone has to offer you. You hold back because you know it will make the other person reach. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be a diplomat and a caring friend. The words you say will matter far less than your intention to make another person feel better about what has happened. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll keep going when the odds are against you, which officially makes you the underdog. Of course, everyone loves the underdog. CANCER (June 22-July 22). A blind person can experience love at first sight. There are so many factors that come together to create amorous feelings, and looks are not the most important. You’ll experience something new igniting in your heart. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your schedule will become hectic and overwhelming if you let it. You have allies who really want to help you. By simply allowing this help to occur, your life will become beautiful again. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your love life gets interesting, primarily because of the puzzling and possibly maddening words you hear from an intriguing someone. You’ll like how this develops. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Even top athletes have physical limitations. Accept your current condition as a starting point, and be grateful for all you can already do. You have the vitality to engage life to the fullest.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You can be so open to unusual, original and novel ideas that sometimes you miss the obvious route to success. That’s why it helps to have a very pragmatic friend around to point it out. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re usually an optimist, but not today. You won’t look for the sunny side or believe in potential. Instead, you’ll see what is and decide how you can improve upon it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Instead of striving for excellence in everything, choose two important categories and give them your all. Hint: “Laundry” is not one of these categories. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re a busy person who still finds the time to reach out to other busy people, and they are happy to know you, if only for a few minutes. It’s amazing what you’ll accomplish. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There you go again, using your charms on people who are unprepared for them. Keep this up, and you could accidentally make someone fall in love with you. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 14). Your love is a magic gift. Those close to you will thrive as a direct result of receiving your love. You’ll follow your interests with new zeal and branch out to different territory. By the end of the year, you’ll be an expert on a new subject. The next six weeks bring financial opportunity, so dive in. Leo and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 40, 33, 28 and 17.
