Wolf’s DEP secretary resigns

PERFECT PICK

By MARC LEVY and MARK SCOLFORO

both Republican and Democrat, in the GOP-controlled Legislature. Those complaints had targeted Quigley’s unwillingness to discuss issues, accept feedback and strike compromises, including on a slate of new oil and gas industry regulations, said Yudichak, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Environmental Resources and Energy Committee. Quigley, he said, had lost the ability to advance the governor’s agenda and had harbored a personal political agenda outside of the Wolf administration. “There was a pattern of behavior ... that clearly indicated to the governor that John Quigley wasn’t the best person to be the secretary of the DEP,” Yudichak said. “The governor has made that decision, I applaud that decision, he made the right decision and he made it quickly.” Yudichak said he had not seen the Quigley email in question, sent in April.

Welcome to Indiana group seeks new leaders to carry on mission By CASEY KELLY

ckelly@indianagazette.net

In 1989, Indiana resident Frank Moore noticed “four nice trees” planted along the sidewalk on Philadelphia Street where Rite Aid now sits. And they gave him an idea. “And I thought, ‘Boy wouldn’t that be nice if we had trees like that the entire length of Philadelphia Street — from First to 16th,” he said. “And so, with that, we decided we would put a group together.”

Eventually, the group became known as W.E.L.C.O.M.E. to Indiana, which stands for We Endorse Logical Community and Orderly Main Entrances. Spearheaded by Moore and Nancy Bierwerth, the organization is responsible for various beautification projects throughout Indiana borough, and perhaps most notably, the establishment and maintenance of the six “Welcome to Indiana” signs located at the main entrances to the community: Old Route 119 North, Route 286 at First Street, Route 954/South Sixth

Street, Wayne Avenue/Jimmy Stewart Boulevard, PennDOT at Route 286 and Old Route 422 West. James Struzzi, Indiana County Chamber of Commerce president, stressed the importance and value the Welcome to Indiana signs bring to the community. “When you come into Indiana for the first time, and you see a big sign that says ‘Welcome to Indiana,’ you feel like you’re entering a community — a place where people care,” he said.

Secret Service shoots armed man close to White House

Officials: Smoke detected on plane

CAIRO — Smoke was detected in multiple places on EgyptAir flight 804 moments before it plummeted into the Mediterranean, but the cause of the crash that killed all 66 on board remains unclear, the French air accident investigation agency said today. Agency spokesman Sebastien Barthe told The Associated Press in Paris that the plane’s automatic detection system sent messages indicating smoke a few minutes before the plane disappeared from radar while flying over the east Mediterranean early on Thursday morning. The messages, he ex-

Everything else is pure conjecture.” Looking for clues to whether terrorists may have brought down the Airbus A320, investigators have been poring over the passenger list and questioned ground crew members at Charles de Gaulle

The aircraft had been cruising normally in clear skies on a nighttime flight to Cairo early Thursday when it suddenly lurched left, then right, spun all the way around and plummeted 38,000 feet into the sea, never issuing a distress signal.

HARRISBURG — Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf’s environmental protection secretary resigned Friday after Wolf’s office began looking into an email the official sent to environmental advocacy groups from a private email address. Wolf confirmed John Quigley’s resignation in a brief interview with The Associated Press, but he did not explain the reasons behind it. The governor said Quigley did a “fine job” and that an acting secretary, Patrick McDonnell, had been named to the Department of Environmental Protection. The resignation came hours after the governor’s office disclosed its inquiry into the email. Quigley did not return a telephone message Friday. Sen. John Yudichak, DLuzerne, said the email inquiry and Wolf’s removal of Quigley was the culmination of growing complaints about Quigley from state lawmakers,

WASHINGTON — A U.S. Secret Service officer shot a man with a gun who approached a checkpoint outside the White House and refused to drop his weapon, the Secret Service said.

The armed man approached the check-

Ex-pro wrestler Snuka testifies at hearing ALLENTOWN (AP) — Pro wrestler Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka testified at his mental competency hearing on Friday and often seemed confused as he was questioned by a judge who will decide whether he can stand trial on charges he killed his girlfriend in 1983. Snuka, who turned 73 on Wednesday, said he was in his 80s. He didn’t know it was 2016. He couldn’t remember the name of his lawyer or identify the current U.S. president or any presidential candidates. And he seemed befuddled about the reason he was in court. The former WWE star was far more sure-footed when he talked about his long career in the ring, describing his signature move, the Superfly Splash (“I said a prayer, climbed to the top of the cage and ‘Super flied’ off”), and he told Lehigh County Judge Kelly Banach that he had suffered multiple concussions. “They always say it’s fake,

Concealed carry lawsuit upheld By MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press

HARRISBURG — A Pennsylvania appeals court Friday gave new life to a lawsuit by four people with permits to carry concealed weapons who argue the sheriff shouldn’t be sending notices about their permits by postcards without envelopes. A three-judge Commonwealth Court panel said a county judge in Chambersburg should not have thrown out the complaint by three men and a woman over the use of postcards to inform people about approvals, denials, revocations and renewals. The decision said the confidentiality provisions in the Uniform Firearms Act allow disclosure of concealed carry license applicants’ information only to courts or criminal justice agencies. The law directs that all information provided by license applicants “shall be confidential and not subject to public disclosure.” “It is not clear at this stage of the proceedings that sending the postcard does not breach the confidentiality the General Assembly deliberately and extensively crafted into the (act),” wrote Judge Renee Cohn Jubelirer. Joshua Prince, attorney for the four, said he was hopeful of a settlement, although the amount of money could be considerable. Lawyers for Franklin County and Sheriff Dane Anthony did not return messages seeking comment. The plaintiffs are pursuing class-action status and believe that well over 10,000 licenses were issued in the county that fall within the statute of limitations. Violations carry civil damages of $1,000 per occurrence as well as legal fees, and triple damages for those who can show how the policy actually harmed them. “A lot of individuals who carry are individuals such as protection-from-abuse victims, police, law enforcement more generally, probation and parole officers, judges, doctors, lawyers,” Prince said. “To allow for the disclosure of that information places those individuals in danger, and that’s why we believe it’s so important to make sure this information is protected.” The court opinion noted that the defendants say they have evidence that envelopes are used for denial notices.

Hey, kids! We have something just for you every Monday.

but, to me, I don’t think so,” Snuka said. The wrestler did, however, allow that “promoters run the show” and pre-determine the outcome of the matches. Banach, who questioned Snuka for more than an hour Friday afternoon, must determine whether he will be tried on murder and involuntary manslaughter charges in the death of Nancy Argentino, of New York. He has pleaded not guilty. The hearing eventually was adjourned until June. It is expected to last one more day. The defense contends Snuka is unfit to stand trial, partly because of the head trauma he suffered over a long career in the ring. A psychologist testified for the defense last week that Snuka suffers from dementia and that his mental condition is deteriorating. But a psychiatrist hired by prosecutors said Snuka’s brain shows normal signs

State

of aging and suggested he might be faking symptoms. As Snuka underwent gentle questioning from the judge Friday, he often called her “dear” and “hon” as he seemingly struggled to answer basic questions. Snuka initially told Banach he didn’t know why he was arrested last year. Pressed to describe what it is that prosecutors said he did, Snuka replied, “Going back to Nancy.” The wrester, a Fiji native who lives in New Jersey, had been at a World Wrestling Federation taping at the Allentown Fairgrounds in May 1983, and told police shortly after Argentino’s death that he had returned to their Whitehall Township hotel room to find her unresponsive in bed. She was pronounced dead at a hospital several hours later. An autopsy determined she died of traumatic brain injuries and had more than three dozen cuts and bruises, and it concluded

Man pleads guilty to gun smuggling

JIMMY SNUKA ... former wrestler her injuries were consistent with being hit with an object. But the district attorney declined to press charges, and Snuka continued his high-profile pro wrestling career. Prosecutors reopened the investigation after a 2013 report in The Morning Call newspaper raised questions about the case. He was charged in September. His attorney has called Argentino’s death an “unfortunate accident.” Snuka, who was wrestling professionally as recently as last year before a stomach cancer diagnosis and other ailments laid him low, talked extensively Friday about his long career.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A man has pleaded guilty to paying people to buy guns that were then smuggled to New York and sold on the street. Michael Bassier, of New York City, entered the plea before a federal judge in Pittsburgh on Thursday. The 31-year-old faces up to 10 years in prison when he returns for sentencing in December. Bassier, who lives in Brooklyn, aided and abetted the purchase of 44 guns between December 2014 and August 2015. Because

he is a convicted felon, he can’t legally buy guns, federal prosecutors said. That’s why Bassier enlisted others to buy the guns, which he then smuggled on cheap interstate bus trips back to New York and sold for a huge profit, prosecutors said. Many of the guns were bought for about $150 to $300 and were resold for $800 to $1,200, sometimes as much as $2,500, authorities said. All the straw purchasers who helped Bassier buy the guns have previously pleaded guilty.

She has often campaigned with families of gun violence victims and will rejoin many today as the keynote speaker at an event sponsored by the Trayvon Martin Foundation. The fatal shooting of the unarmed black teenager in 2012 continues to be a flashpoint in the debate. Former neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman recently moved to auction off the gun he used in the slaying. In response to Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments to the NRA, Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign said she supports balancing gun rights with commonsense actions to keep people safe. Among those would be safe-storage laws designed to prevent toddlers from accessing guns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donald Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conspiracy theories are simply his latest attempt to divide the American people and distract from his radical and dangerous ideas, like his promise to mandate that every school in America allow guns in their classrooms,â&#x20AC;? Clinton campaign policy adviser Maya Harris said in a statement. Trump, who often notes that he has a concealedcarry permit, has called for making it easier for lawabiding citizens to carry guns for self-protection in public places, saying they could help prevent terrorist attacks. He argues the exist-

ton event last summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not trying to take away anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gun. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just trying to make it less likely for my daughter to get shot on her way home from school or my son to get accidentally shot on a play date.â&#x20AC;? Gun sales have boomed during Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presidency despite, and perhaps in part because of, several mass shootings and persistent gun violence in cities. His calls to expand background checks have been stymied by the GOPcontrolled Congress. He has taken modest steps through executive orders, and Clinton vows to build on that work. States are moving in vastly different policy directions: Gun-friendly lawmakers keep making it easier to buy and carry guns. Gun-control supporters keep adding restrictions. California, already among the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toughest states on guns, will vote in November on a ballot initiative that would require buyers of ammunition to pass background checks and outlaw high-capacity magazines. Meanwhile, other states are moving to allow people to carry concealed weapons in more places, including on college campuses, and to do so without having to obtain a permit. The divide can be exasperating for those who seek a middle ground that would protect gun rights and improve public safety. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the political rhetoric

right now, and Twitter and Facebook ... is polarizing us, telling us weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in one camp or another,â&#x20AC;? said Jonathan Metzl, a professor at Vanderbilt University who studies guns and mental health. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe after the election we can come to terms with this.â&#x20AC;? Nathan Gibson of Johnston, Iowa, has seen the polarization firsthand. For three years, Gibson and his daughters, 12 and 10, have lobbied to repeal an Iowa law that requires handgun users to be at least 14 years old. The law prevents his girls from competing in some shooting sports, requiring them to drive to neighboring states. The Republican-controlled Iowa House approved a change in February that would allow children to use handguns under parental supervision. Critics called it the â&#x20AC;&#x153;toddler militiaâ&#x20AC;? bill, and Clinton accused the NRA of trying to get more guns in the hands of children. Leaders of the Democratic-controlled Senate killed the bill. Gibson said he saw Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position as hypocritical, noting that she has talked about hunting as a young girl. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a very big fan of Donald Trump, but I also think he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mess with the Second Amendment,â&#x20AC;?

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are courting voters on opposite sides of the gun debate in events that highlight the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deep divide on the topic. On Friday, Trump promised gun-rights enthusiasts at the NRA convention in Louisville, Ky., that he would never let them down. He called Clinton â&#x20AC;&#x153;the most anti-gun, anti-Second Amendment candidate to run for office.â&#x20AC;? Clinton will appear today in Florida with the mother of Trayvon Martin and other parents who have lost children to gun violence. She has become a forceful advocate for restrictions meant to reduce the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 33,000 annual gun deaths. The dual appearances underscore the opposing positions the candidates have staked out on gun rights and safety, the prominent role the issue might play in the general election and the national policy implications for the next president. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hillary Clinton wants to abolish the Second Amendment,â&#x20AC;? Trump said in his speech to the NRA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to let that happen.â&#x20AC;?

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bernie Sandersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; campaign had less than $6 million at the start of May, a critical cash shortage as he makes an admittedly tough final play to wrest the Democratic presidential nomination from Hillary Clinton. Sandersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rival had five times as much money, according to new Federal Election Commission filings, beginning the month with $30 million in the bank. The two were on roughly equal fundraising footing last month, with Clinton and Sanders each raising more than $25 million. But the Vermont senator spent almost $39 million to Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $24 million, the reports showed. This year, Sanders has averaged more than $40 million in spending per month, underlining how quickly he could blow through the cash he had on hand at the beginning

Okla. gov. vetoes abortion legislation OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin vetoed legislation that would have effectively outlawed abortion in the state by making it a felony for doctors to perform the procedure, saying the measureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vague and would not withstand a legal challenge. Fallin, a Republican who opposes abortion, vetoed the measure Friday, just a day after the Legislature passed it. The bill, which abortionrights group Center for Reproductive Rights said was the first of its kind in the U.S., also would have restricted any physician who performs an abortion from obtaining or renewing a license to practice medicine in Oklahoma. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bill is so ambiguous and so vague that doctors cannot be certain what medical circumstances would be considered â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;necessary to preserve the life of the mother,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Fallin wrote in her veto message. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While I consistently have and continue to support a re-examination of the United States Supreme Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision in Roe v.

DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL candidate Bernie Sanders, left, greeted supporters after making a speech Friday in Albuquerque, N.M. of May. Since he started his presidential bid, Sanders has spent nearly $207 million, about $25 million more than Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $182 million in expenditures. For her part, Clinton has averaged $26 million in spending per month since January. Sandersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; heavy campaign spending wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a problem

when his online supporters were minting him money. But now that his fundraising has dropped, his high burn rate could hurt his chance to continue competing. Even as he racked up primary victories last month and sharpened his attacks against the former secretary of state, online donors started holding back.

Sanders raised considerably less in April than his record-setting $46 million in March or $43.5 million in February. The Sanders campaign began taking steps late last month to downsize its operation. He reduced his payroll from about 1,000 to fewer than 400 employees. Sanders has pledged to continue in the race until the final primary, June 14 in Washington, D.C. The latest reports showed that Sanders spent about $21 million on media buys and digital consulting. The campaign paid $17.3 million to Old Towne Media Inc., based in Alexandria, Va., and more than $3.6 million to Revolution Messaging, a Washington advertising firm that concentrates on digital outreach. Sanders plans to spend a little more than $525,000 on television and radio advertising in California ahead of its June 7 primary, according to advertising tracker Kantar Mediaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CMAG. Clinton has not reserved any airtime there.

Clinton has tended to spend less on ads than Sanders. In April, her campaign spent about $9.3 million on media buys and $2.7 million more on online advertising, her report showed. Sanders reported raising $26.9 million in April through his campaign. Unlike Sanders, Clinton has been fundraising for months in partnership with the Democratic National Committee and state parties. Through that joint fundraising account and her campaign, she raised $26.4 million in April for her primary battle with Sanders, though fundraising expenses sliced off about $1.4 million.

A no-Trump column

hat do Genghis Kahn, William the Conqueror and Geronimo all have in common? Mighty warriors, they died not in battle, but by falling off horses. The list of historical notables who got killed on horseback includes kings, queens, prime ministers, Pope Urban VI and Emperor Theodosius of Rome. I’ve long insisted that my plan was to die in a fall from a horse at age 88 — suitably remote as to make it a joke. A smug, stupid joke. I’ve also argued — as friends’ broken shoulders and fractured pelvises accumulated — that riding bicycles in traffic is a damn fool thing for mature citizens to do. Challenged, I’d say I never rode horses in traffic or on pavement. One virtue of our Arkansas farm is that it’s river bottomland. There’s not a rock on the place. Besides, I hadn’t been dumped in 15 years. Ever the pedant, I’d say that two of my personal heroes, Thomas Jefferson and Jonathan Swift, rode horses into their 70s. Jefferson designed a portico at Monticello allowing him to step down onto a horse’s back after he could no longer mount from the ground. Swift kept fit on rainy Dublin days by running the bell tower steps of St. Patrick’s Cathedral. He built a walled pasture nearby so he could visit his horses every day. It’s not for nothing that the final voyage of Swift’s masterpiece, “Gulliver’s Travels,” was to the Houyhnhnms, a kingdom of philosophical talking horses. Pronounced “winums” it’s the sound horses make Gene Lyons is deep in their throats when they’re a columnist for glad to see you. the Arkansas As my large friend Mount Nebo has always been happy to see me. He Times. His hustles into the barn, bobbing his column is head and nickering. “Houyhyhnm,” distributed by he says. “Got any carrots?” In a joke Universal Uclick. photograph I made of me in a cowboy hat scowling squint-eyed like Clint Eastwood, Nebo spoils the effect by gazing at me like a lovelorn teenager. (I’d taken the picture for a French friend who expressed mock disappointment when I showed up in Montpellier sans cowboy hat.) Ah, but here’s the thing: I’m confident that all of the above — from Genghis Khan to Jefferson — were my superiors as horsemen. I took up riding at age 50, after giving up ball sports. Friends generously offered to stable Rusty, a quarter horse gelding, in return for help around their barn. The first time Rusty dumped me wasn’t on purpose. An experienced animal, he could tell I didn’t know what I was doing. Horses are very acute about that. Somebody’s got to be in charge, and if you’re not decisive, it’s every horse for himself. I had no business riding outside a fenced enclosure. A deer hunter in a tree stand waved, and we were off to the races. I’d lost a stirrup at his first jump, and did an emergency dismount before he really got rolling. It’s one thing falling on your face from a horse’s back — quite another if he’s running 35 mph. I was lying facedown in the dirt taking an inventory of moving parts, when I felt Rusty’s breath on my neck. My instructor said she’d have made me sell him if he hadn’t come back. Rusty was too much horse for a novice, but I was stubborn. We aged into each other. There were fewer hairy moments, no serious injuries. Besides a degree of athleticism, my greatest equestrian skill is a low center of gravity. Unless the horse is trying to buck me, I tend to stay on. Mount Nebo replaced Rusty five years ago, a welltrained Tennessee walking horse of appropriate maturity. Too well-trained, I fear. One way horses differ from, say, dogs, is that the less work they get, the less they want. As I began to ride less frequently — I blame cow work — Nebo developed avoidance techniques. If he saw a lead rope, it was nothing doing. To catch him, I had to trick him with baling twine. Then he’d swell up like a toad to keep the cinch loose. Instead of moving forward when I’d try to mount, he’d back up, leaving me with one foot in the stirrup, hopping. He developed strong opinions about when it was time to head home. We bickered. No rough stuff, just stubbornness. Then last weekend came the parting of the ways. I never saw what spooked him, but we were trotting through my neighbor’s pasture — headed toward home, actually — when Nebo suddenly jumped sideways, bucked once, and galloped off at a right angle. Totally unprepared, I hit the ground hard. The ground’s a lot harder 20 years on. Although I could hardly walk for two days, I have no serious injuries except maybe a broken rib or two — painful, but not life-threatening. Well-intentioned friends insist that I need to get back on the horse. No, I don’t. I’ve had my last rodeo. Nebo, see, didn’t come back. eugenelyons2@yahoo.com

flexibility, creativity and individual choice. For example, we like buying cheap products from around the world. But the choices we make as consumers make life less stable for us as employees. Levin says the answer is not to dwell in confusing, frustrating nostalgia. It’s through a big push toward subsidiarity, devolving choice and power down to the local face-to-face community level, and thus avoiding the excesses both of rigid centralization and alienating individualism. A society of empowered local neighborhood organizations is a learning society. Experiments happen and information about how to solve problems flows from the bottom up. I’m acknowledged in the book, but I learned something new on every page. Nonetheless, I’d say Levin’s emphasis on subsidiarity and local community is important but insufficient. We live within a golden chain, connecting self, family, village, nation and world. The bonds of that chain have to be repaired at every point, not just the local one. It’s not 1830. We Americans have a national consciousness. People who start local groups are often motivated by a dream of scaling up and changing the nation and the world. Our distemper is not only caused by local fragmentation but by national dysfunction. Even Levin writes and thinks in nation-state terms (his prescription is Wendell Berry, but his intellectual and moral sources are closer to a nationalist like Abraham Lincoln). That means there will have to be a bigger role for Washington than he or current Republican orthodoxy allows, with more radical ideas, like national service, or a national effort to seed locally run early education and infrastructure projects. As in ancient Greece and Rome, local communities won’t survive if the national project disintegrates. Our structural problems are national and global and require big as well as little reforms.

Little Sisters, liberty get a big win

he Little Sisters of the Poor got a big decision from the U.S Supreme Court this week. The eight sitting justices decided unanimously to express “no view on the merits” of questions raised by the Little Sisters in a case about religious liberty and required coverage of contraception in insurance policies. Instead, they sent those questions back to the lower courts for further briefing and resolution. The move, characterized in some early headlines as “punting,” made no explicit statement about the government’s duty to preserve religious freedom versus its new-found need to provide unfettered access to free contraception. But it did vacate lower court rulings favorable to the government. As National Review writer and attorney David French explains, “When the court vacates the ruling you’re challenging, that’s a win.” So those Americans who still value their religious liberty and who have sustained a seemingly constant battering of their first freedom by the current administration should view Monday’s ruling as a notable — and, we can hope, enduring — victory. The case revolved around the Obamacare requirement that employers, including the Little Sisters,

hard even for the Supreme Court’s more liberal justices.” But make no mistake. This victory is one in many battles to come over the future of religious freedom in America. Religious belief is under attack not only by an overly intrusive federal government but by an increasing level of misunderstanding, indifference and even hostility to religion from society at large. William McGurn of The Wall Street Journal warns that a growing portion of America unfortunately “regards religion as a collection of irrational beliefs. They simply cannot fathom why folks with such beliefs ought to be exempt from laws that seem obvious to them and that everyone else is expected to obey.” The religious devout are often unfairly seen as ignorant; the devotion to their faith little more than a thin veil to disguise bigotry. And with the growing number of non-religious Americans, pools of potential allies are rapidly shrinking. That is all the more reason for the Little Sisters and their sympathizers to cherish their hard-won victory. Such results may be ever more rare in the years to come. cmallen@startelegram.com

Afghan official: Six dead in attack KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — An Afghan police official said six police have been shot and killed by colleagues who turned their guns on them at a checkpoint in the volatile southern Uruzgan province. Mohammad Hasham, head of police in the Charchino district, said the shooting happened in the early hours this morning. He said three officers involved in the shooting have escaped the scene, taking weapons and vehicles with them. The incident follows another in the capital Kabul on Friday, when an Afghan security guard at a U.N. compound shot two Nepalese guards, killing one and wounding the other. In southern Zabul province on Thursday, eight policemen were shot dead by a colleague.

The Swiss-made Solar Impulse 2 took off from Tulsa International Airport about 5 a.m. today with a destination of Dayton, Ohio. The flight was expected to take about 18 hours. The aircraft’s most recent journey came on May 13, when it traveled from Phoenix Goodyear Airport in Arizona to Tulsa in just over 20 hours. The plane was expected to make at least one more stop in the United States before crossing the Atlantic Ocean to Europe or northern Africa.

Zika numbers triple in U.S. Pregnant women with virus spike on new counting method By MIKE STOBBE AP Medical Writer

NEW YORK — The number of pregnant women in the United States infected with the Zika virus is suddenly tripling, due to a change in how the government is reporting cases. Previously, officials had reported how many pregnant women had both Zika symptoms and positive blood tests. In a change announced Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s count will include all women who tested positive, regardless of symptoms. There are now 157 pregnant women infected with Zika in the 50 states, up from the 48 reported last week under the old definition. Experts emphasized that there does not appear to be any dramatic actual increase of pregnant women with the disease in recent months. There was a spike in diagnoses in February and March, but relatively few new cases since then, according to CDC data that includes women who experienced symptoms and those who didn’t. The Zika virus causes only a mild and brief illness, at

worst, in most people. But in the last year, infections in pregnant women have been strongly linked to fetal deaths and to potentially devastating birth defects, mostly in Brazil. The virus is spread mainly through the bite of a tropical mosquito called Aedes aegypti. It can be found in the southern United States, but there’s no evidence that they’ve been spreading the virus in the U.S. yet. All the 544 total cases in the 50 states so far have been people who had traveled to outbreak areas, or who had sex with someone who did. Experts think mosquitoes on the U.S. mainland will probably start spreading the virus in the months ahead, when hot weather hits and mosquito populations boom. The sudden rise in the count of pregnant women with the disease in the U.S. may seem jarring. But Dr. Neil Silverman, a UCLA professor of obstetrics who has been advising the California Department of Public Health on Zika issues, explained the change in method does not indicate a greater risk of infection. When he gets calls from patients, he said, “About 90

percent of what we’re doing is reassuring and calming people.” Only an estimated 1 in 5 people infected with Zika develop symptoms — fever, rash, joint pain, and red eyes — which usually last no more than a week. Initially, doctors recognized the connection between the virus and birth defects only in women who had suffered symptoms during pregnancy. But reports published this year indicate some pregnant women with laboratory evidence of a recent Zika infection — but who never had symptoms — have delivered infants with these defects. International health agencies have already been reporting Zika infections in women based solely on lab tests. Some experts have found it surprising that the CDC has been basing its official number on a more conservative case definition. However, CDC officials had voiced concerns that one kind of blood test is too prone to giving a false positive test result if a woman was infected with a different but similar tropical virus.

PRESIDENT Barack Obama, accompanied by Vice President Joe Biden, spoke to members of the media Friday in the Oval Office at the White House after receiving a briefing on the ongoing response to the Zika virus from members of his public health team. the effects of Zika in the U.S. states and territories. CDC says doctors should consider testing pregnant women who have been to an area where Zika is spreading, whether or not they have symptoms. Doctors also are encouraged to ask pregnant women if their sex partner has been infected or traveled to an outbreak area. The new counting “will give us a better idea of the correlation between a mom’s symptoms and the effects on the baby,” said Dr. Richard Beigi, an obstetrics expert at the University of Pittsburgh. The agency also presented new numbers for preg-

Holocaust victim’s mug holds jewelry WARSAW, Poland (AP) — A Polish-made golden ring and chain have been found hidden under the false base of an enameled mug that must have belonged to a victim of the Nazis’ Auschwitz death camp, a museum spokesman said Friday. Pawel Sawicki told The Associated Press the find was discovered a few months ago during conservation work for enamel items on display at a Bloc 5 exhibition of belongings robbed from Auschwitz victims. He could not say if it was there from the exhibition’s start in 1955. Wrapped in a thin canvas, the jewelry was tightly packed under a false base made from a metal tin that bears the name of a Polish chocolate maker “Goplana” and eventually rusted out. Tests have shown the items are made of gold and they bear a seal used in Poland from 1921-31. There are no signs to help identify the owner.

3-D-printed motorcycle unveiled BERLIN (AP) — What weighs 77 pounds, goes 50 mph and looks like Swiss cheese on wheels? An electric motorcycle made from tiny aluminum alloy particles using a 3-D printer. European aeronautics giant Airbus unveiled the “Light Rider” in Germany on Friday. Manufactured by its subsidiary APWorks, a specialist in additive layer manufacturing, the motorcycle uses hollow frame parts that contain the cables and pipes. The frame weighs just 13 pounds, about 30 percent less than conventional emotorbikes. APWorks chief executive Joachim Zettler said the complex, branched hollow structure wouldn’t have been possible with conventional production technologies such as milling or welding. The company is taking orders for a limited run of 50 motorbikes, costing $56,095, plus tax, each.

FIREBOATS and firefighters battled a blaze Friday on the Seal Beach Pier in Seal Beach, Calif. The fire raged through a vacant restaurant, leaving the structure in ruins, with much of its roof collapsed. Firefighters found no one inside the structure, formerly a Ruby’s Diner that closed in 2013 and that has been fenced off for years. The cause of the blaze was under investigation.

Mexico allows extradition of drug lord ‘El Chapo’ to U.S. By MARK STEVENSON Associated Press

MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s Foreign Relations Department ruled Friday that the extradition of convicted drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman to the United States can go forward. The process can still be appealed, meaning it could be weeks, months or even longer before the Sinaloa cartel leader may be sent to the U.S., where he is wanted in multiple jurisdictions on charges related to drug trafficking and organized crime. Guzman’s lawyers now have 30 days to appeal the decision, and they have said they will. The department said Friday in a statement that the United States has provided “adequate guarantees” that Guzman would not face the death penalty. Mexico has abolished capital punishment and does not extradite its citizens if they face possible execution. A U.S. official who was not authorized to be quoted by name said “we have agreed not to seek the death penalty, which is consistent with our extradition assurance policies with Mexico.” Friday’s ruling covered an extradition request from a Texas federal court related to charges of conspiracy to import and distribute cocaine and marijuana, moneylaundering, arms possession and murder, and another extradition request from a federal court

in California. In all, Guzman faces charges from seven U.S. federal prosecutors including in Chicago, New York, Miami and San Diego. Jose Refugio Rodriguez, one of Guzman’s lawyers, said Friday the legal team planned to appeal the decision all the way to Mexico’s Supreme Court, and possibly to internaJOAQUIN tional tribunals. GUZMAN Rodriguez told the Milenio television station that any extradition would take “at least one to three years.” “We expected it,” Rodriguez said of the foreign relations department decision. “It is no surprise.” Rodriguez said Guzman knew about the ruling and said he was “calm.” “He knows and is conscious that the real battle against extradition is going to be waged through the constitutional appeals process,” Rodriguez said. Guzman was arrested in January after almost six months on the run following his escape from a maximum-security prison through a mile-long tunnel that opened to the floor of his shower. He had already escaped once before in 2001 and spent more than a decade as one of the world’s most

wanted fugitives until he was recaptured in 2014. Guzman’s lawyers have so far waged a public-relations offensive, speaking to the press and even organizing protests; but as extradition draws nearer, the battle could turn violent, like the one Colombian drug lords waged extradition in the 1980s, said Mike Vigil, a former head of international operations for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. Vigil said there is still the appeals process and he expects Guzman’s attorneys to “try to move heaven and earth” to prevent him from being extradited, noting that drug lords fear extradition because it removes them from their criminal infrastructure. “As long as they have access to their criminal infrastructure, they can intimidate or they can bribe, “ Vigil said, “and I’m sure that right now, Chapo Guzman is going to be scrambling, trying to intimidate government officials, because he will fight it to the bitter end.” “That could lead to violence against the government, to intimidate violence against the judicial system, against individuals that will have something to do with his extradition, and if he can’t get to them, he’ll go after their families,” Vigil said. “That’s a very strong possibility that he will launch a frontal assault on the Mexican government, to try to intimidate the government to stop his extradition.”

nant women the territories of Puerto Rico, American Samoa and the U.S. Virgin Islands. It rose to 122 cases from 65. The CDC did not say how many Zika-infected pregnant women were believed to have been infected during travel and how many got it through sex. Officials said the count has includes diagnoses made over several months, and while many of the women in the count still are pregnant, some of the pregnancies have ended since the women were first diagnosed. The agency did not detail the outcomes of the pregnancies.

Man to face trial in Mich. killings KALAMAZOO, Mich. (AP) — A man charged with killing six strangers in between picking up riders for Uber will go to trial, a Michigan judge said Friday after listening to a dozen witnesses, including a survivor of the random shootings who said it’s his face she sees in her sleep each night. Jason Dalton is charged with murder and attempted murder. He’s accused of shooting eight people in three locations in the Kalamazoo area on Feb. 20; six died. Tiana Carruthers, one of two survivors, was the first witness, but her testimony was interrupted by bizarre outbursts by Dalton, who was dragged out of court by deputies and ordered to jail to watch the hearing via video. Dalton, 45, who has been found competent to understand the charges and assist his lawyer, made strange references to “old people with these old black bags.” Judge Christopher Haenicke cut him off and called a recess after he said, “It’s time to get to temple.” Carruthers sobbed loudly while stunned relatives of other victims watched Dalton being hauled away. After a break, she again described how she was shot four times outside an apartment building in the presence of children. Police have credited her with protecting them from possible injury. “My body doesn’t look real. Metal in three different places. Screws and bolts,” the 25-year-old said. “I hurt every single day.” Carruthers identified Dalton as the shooter, saying: “I can never forget his face. I see his face every time I go to sleep.” Police have quoted Dalton as saying a “devil figure” on Uber’s app was controlling him on the night of the shootings. Jeff Crump, a Michigan State Police firearms expert, linked casings at the shooting scenes to guns owned by Dalton. The judge found probable cause to send Dalton to trial. The legal standard at this stage is low; prosecutors didn’t have to show all their evidence. Another witness, Alexis Cornish, 17, said she saw the killing of her boyfriend, Tyler Smith, and his father, Richard Smith, at a car dealership. They were looking at a pickup truck, but she stayed in their vehicle because it was a cold night. “They put their hands up and said, ‘What are you doing?’” Cornish told the judge, recalling their encounter with the gunman. Asked how many shots were fired, she replied: “Enough not to miss.” Separately, four women were killed outside a Cracker Barrel restaurant. A 14-year-old girl survived.

Fracking film to be shown Wednesday

Resets not always the best answer Extra tea: Read and meditate on 2 Corinthians 4:16–5:5 and Psalm 91 So we do not lose heart. Though our outward nature is wasting away, our inner nature in being renewed every day. – 2 Corinthians 4:16 My friend and colleague Karen O’Connor once wrote a book, “Getting’ Old Ain’t for Wimps.” The older I get, the more I realize how true those words are. It seems that with every year, something on this old body quits working, or quits working the way it should, and never gets back to “factory settings.” I say “factory settings” because a computer can be restored to the settings that were on it when you Michele Huey’s purchased it. The column problem is appears every a reset Saturday. erases all Email the inforcomments to mation michele you have huey@yahoo. stored. I com. may be able to reset my computer — and even my cellphone — back to the way it was when it was brand new, but that has both positive and negative effects. On the positive side, resetting it will get rid of the junk that I don’t know about or understand that’s using the memory and slowing my computer down. On the negative side, resetting would cause me to lose things I don’t want to lose, things I worked hard to produce. So it is with our bodies. We may wish to be young again, to have the health and vigor we had back in the day. But then I don’t want to lose all the wisdom, knowledge and experience I’ve gained over my lifetime. Solomon advises in Ecclesiastes: “Do not say, ‘Why were the old days better than these?” (Ecclesiastes 7:10). They were better because I had my health. My dreams and my future all still lay before me like a field of unbroken snow. But I was clueless, selfish and without God, and I do not want to go back to that state. I’m in my mid-60s now. I never thought I’d come to the point where health would be an issue. But here I am, researching natural ways to deal with the breaking down parts of my body rather than ingest more chemicals that may be more harmful than good. My memory is slowing down, my blood pressure is speeding up, my energy is decreasing, my aches are increasing (Where? Everywhere!). I have more people in my life to worry about, but that means I have more love — to give and to receive. I’ve lost loved ones, and the older I get, the more I stand to lose. But also, the more I get to love, as my family grows with grandchildren, and in a few years, great-grandchildren. But I do not fear growing older, even with certain grief and pain and loss that is sure to come, as it does to all who live long enough. I do not fear because I have a soul that is eternal, that isn’t wasting away like this old body is, but is being renewed daily. I do not fear because faith, hope and love are growing daily. I do not fear because I will never be alone. My God is with me now, and He will always be, as He promised: “Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he; I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you” (Isaiah 46:4). When the aches and pains (inner and outer) remind me of how old I’m getting, Lord, YOU remind me of how young my spirit is. Amen.

Shadow of God provides shelter By JAN WOODARD Never doubt this world is full of kind and thoughtful people. Our children stood by my side during the days following my mastectomy surgery, a family fortress of strength. My twin sister and her husband arrived next with support and cheer. Loved pour out upon my hubby Jim and me in the form of help, cards, gifts, prayers and messages. Arab neighbors brought tabbouleh, Kenyan Jan Woodard children came with incorporates sunflowtexting in her writing, shar- ers, ing a faith per- church spective on her members personal jour- prepared ney with breast meals and cancer. Contact someone with a her at janwa trouswoodard green thumb @gmail.com. and a pink hat planted a prayer garden in my honor. These things, not cancer, bring me to tears. I’m healing well with minimal discomfort, despite the wide bandage that constricts my torso. I have a new appreciation for Egyptian mummies after being wrapped like one.

TEXTING THRU CANCER

To avoid a stiff shoulder, I was advised to work toward full range of motion with my left arm, the side where lymph nodes were removed. I don’t exactly have what you’d call an exercise regimen yet, but when folks post music that touches my spirit, I dance to it. Since I was a dance school drop out, this is definitely for an audience of One. My kids introduced me to a song that says, “All my favorite people are broken. Believe me, my heart should know,” by the band Over the Rhine. It brought to mind Henri Nouwen’s book “The Wounded Healer,” which portrays Jesus as the one who heals our souls. Since we’re all somewhere on the brokenness spectrum, I feel admitting I’m vulnerable removes some of the sting and enables me to move toward wholeness. At least on a spiritual level. Meanwhile, I’m reading, listening and learning all I can about this disease that engulfs my days. So far, I know only the

tumor and two of the 14 lymph nodes surgically removed contained cancer cells. This is good news. Some of those cells permeated a lymph node wall. This is not good news. It means I’ll need radiation treatments. We won’t know for another week if chemotherapy is also in my future. I’m breathing deeply, as I wait. On May 12, I texted: “... they’re ordering more lab work that will determine if I need chemo ... radiation is a must.” Breast cancer survivor: “Will keep you in prayer, dear. I’ve been thinking about you all morning. Let me know how I can help. God bless.” A believer whose family has just traveled through cancer wrote: “... I know how precious it is to walk through a challenge with the unshakeable assurance that Jesus is holding you.” He added this reassuring prayer: “Thank you, Jesus that there is nothing about Jan’s situation that catches you by surprise. Do what you do, Lord — bring your

healing, your peace, your joy, your wisdom.” That improved my outlook. The viewpoint of a West Virginia woman who twice survived breast cancer also lifted my spirits: “This is very doable. By prayer and just hanging tough with the Lord ... it is doable. Waiting is the hardest part. Once you have a total game plan it gets easier.” I drink in encouragement like this as I consider potential side effects of my medical options. A life-long nature lover, the lost of a breast and possibly my hair may not impact my lifestyle as much as avoiding the sun for a year, or more. Sunny days are in short supply in these parts anyhow and I crave light like a bear craves honey. When I

don’t get it, my mood drops. I also crave being near water; I know Jim will look for ways for us to keep on boating. Some evening we may paddle along the edges of Yellow Creek as fireflies glitter, or I may dip a single toe in shady Ferrier’s Run, but this woman will still enjoy moments in the great outdoors. My go-to psalm, Ps. 91, promises, “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High, will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” I may not be in the sunshine this summer, but I’ll never be beyond the shadow of God’s care. And in a few weeks I hopefully will be liberated from this mummy midriff that now constrains me. All will be well.

Gosling-Crowe chemistry livens â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Nice Guysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; By JOCELYN NOVECK

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Nice Guysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

AP National Writer

Take two charismatic actors. Give them characters that are, on the surface, totally incompatible. Plunk them into your basic whodunit, a mismatched team fighting fill-in-the-blank bad guys. Stir in some shoot-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em-up action, and poof: You have a buddy cop movie, one of the most durable formulas in Hollywood. Now, technically, Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play cops in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Nice Guys,â&#x20AC;? by writer-director Shane Black (who knows a thing about buddy cop movies, having written â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lethal Weaponâ&#x20AC;? back in 1987.) Oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bumbling private investigator, the other a low-life hired enforcer. But the equationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same, and like a buddy-cop movie (or a porn film â&#x20AC;&#x201D; more on that later) the important thing isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the plot. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the chemistry. Gosling and Crowe do have chemistry, and an obvious sense of humor, which gets them far. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have gotten farther, though, if the movie, while at times hilarious, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have such an uneven feel, particularly a nasty edge that simply clashes with the desired jocular tone.

Houston hologram axed from â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Voiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A much-anticipated performance by Whitney Houston in hologram form wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t air on NBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Voiceâ&#x20AC;? next week after all. The performance, which would have paired the late singer with Christina Aguilera, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Voiceâ&#x20AC;? celebrity coach, was expected to air on Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season finale. But the high-tech duet has been cancelled for technical reasons. Pat Houston, the late superstarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister-in-law and head of her estate, explained that â&#x20AC;&#x153;holograms are new technology that take time to perfect.â&#x20AC;? After reviewing the hologram performance, she said the decision was made that it fell short of the perfection â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whitneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy and her devoted fans deserve,â&#x20AC;? and shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t air.

In a prelude, a young boy reaches under his parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bed to inspect their Playboy magazine, featuring naked porn star Misty Mountain. Moments later, the same boy witnesses a horrific car crash in which a dying Mountain herself appears lying just as sexily â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and naked â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on her wrecked car. (Funny but not?) What does Misty have to do with Amelia? Thanks for asking, but who knows? Ameliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a missing young woman that March has been hired to find. But Amelia herself has hired Healy to take care of the guys searching for her. At least one of them is March, which is how he ended up howling on that kitchen floor. But there are bigger forces apparently engulfing Amelia: Corporate greed, and government malfeasance, and environmental activism â&#x20AC;&#x201D; stuff like that.

and amiably violent) tracks down Holland March (Gosling â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sweet, clumsy, effortlessly funny ) in a menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room stall. March is understandably wary, considering Healy had broken his arm at their last meeting, leaving him howling on the kitchen floor like a wounded cat. March also has his pants down. Watch Gosling juggle pointing a gun, keeping an

annoying stall door open, and hiding his privates behind a magazine. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s topnotch physical comedy, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll laugh out loud. This has to be one of Goslingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most entertaining performances.

tainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last porno keep dying? Helping March and Healy figure it all out is Marchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whip-smart tween daughter, Holly (an appealing Angourie Rice), who keeps showing up when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not supposed to. Holly, sort of a Nancy Drew but in an Rrated film, keeps ending up in peril, either to her life or her moral upbringing (the 13-year-old is forced to watch and discuss porn at one point). Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a moral compass for Healy, at one point sweetly asking if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just murdered a guy lying in the road while she went to get help, because that would be wrong. (Well, at least it gets him thinking.) It all ends up in an incredibly energetic, chaotic shoot-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em-up. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun in a manic sort of way, but it might have been more fun to clear away some of the dust â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or smog â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and just watch two charismatic pros spar with each other. Maybe in the sequel.

DEP secretary resigns Continued from Page 1 In recent weeks, Yudichak became the target of radio and newspaper ads by environmental groups. The ads criticized him for supporting legislation extending the Legislature’s power to seek changes in any Wolf administration plan to comply with federal requirements to curtail greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. David Masur, president of the environmental advocacy group PennEnvironment, said Quigley had been a strong advocate for the environment and public health in Harrisburg, “where they often don’t have one.” “It’s unfortunate that this firestorm of innuendo and what feels like a witch hunt played a role in his departure,” Masur said. Quigley, 56, a former Hazleton mayor, was the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources secretary from 2009 to 2011 under former Gov. Ed Rendell. Quigley had propelled the approval of new oil and gas industry regulations that ban drilling companies from storing wastewater in pits and re-

quire them to submit an analysis of the potential effect on nearby public water resources and parks before they drill. Environmental advocacy groups had supported the regulations, while industry officials and many Republican lawmakers had opposed them. Earlier this month, the Wolf administration began discussions with lawmakers about making changes to the new regulations in an effort to ease tensions, Yudichak said. Meanwhile, the Legislature has repelled Wolf’s effort to raise taxes on the Marcellus shale natural gas drilling industry. McDonnell, who will serve as the acting secretary, is a longtime top aide in the Department of Environmental Protection and Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission. He had been serving Wolf’s office as the director of policy for the department, where he oversaw regulation and policy development. McDonnell also coordinated renewable energy and energy efficiency issues, the administration said in a statement.

Secret Service shoots armed man Continued from Page 1 secured during the lockdown, his office said. The security alert was lifted about an hour later. The gunman never made it inside the White House complex, and no one else was injured, the Secret Service said. A U.S. law enforcement official said Friday evening that authorities had identified the gunman as Jesse Oliveri, of Ashland, Pa. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to release the information. Federal agents found ammunition inside a Toyota sedan, parked nearby on Constitution Avenue, that the gunman was believed to have driven, the official said. Sightseer Jenna Noelle of Austin, Texas, said she had just taken a photo of the White House when she noticed a man harassing an agent. Then, “as we were walk-

ing away we heard a shot fired, then some people started running away and agents had guns and were evacuating people.” “I had a panic attack,” she added. “I’m doing OK now, but it was pretty freaky to be right there a second before it happened. Not really the experience we wanted,” she added. Community activist Akil Patterson said he heard a single gunshot while waiting in a security line. Within seconds, a security guard shouted to drop to the ground, and then he was evacuated to the street. Patterson said he was at the White House to get a presidential award for his work with Baltimore teens. He says his community work aims to “get rid of the notion that gun violence is the answer.” Associated Press writer Kathleen Hennessey in Washington contributed to this report.

Man charged in assaults Continued from Page 1 the two would have the same accusations against him, other than that his son knows both victims. A preliminary hearing for both cases is scheduled for June 21. He faces a felony charge of statutory sexual assault, two charges of aggravated indecent assault, involun-

tary deviant sexual intercourse on a person less than 16 years old and corruption of minors and misdemeanor charges of corruption of minors and two charges of indecent assault against a person less than 13 years old. Latimer posted $25,000 bail on May 9.

Refugee resettlement program to close ALLENTOWN (AP) — The largest refugee resettlement program in Pennsylvania is slated to close next month, and efforts are underway to find a replacement. Lutheran Children and Family Services helps settle about 100 refugees a year in Lehigh Valley. It plans to end most of its social services by June 30. The nonprofit cited debt as the reason, saying that unpredictable state and local funding and a reimbursement that didn’t cover the true cost of service led to a mounting deficit, The Morning Call reported. Officials said it wasn’t receiving enough money to cover immigrant and child welfare programs and had to borrow $4.5 million from its parent company, Liberty Lutheran. The program gained national attention in October when the U.S. announced it would allow an additional 15,000 refugees into the country

this fiscal year due to the Syrian refugee crisis. The program is an affiliate of the National Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, which hopes to partner with Baltimore-based Bethany Christian Services to continue administering the services in Pennsylvania. “It’s our intention to maintain resettlement offices and work in the Allentown, Lancaster and Philadelphia areas,” said Miji Bell, director of communications for LIRS. The U.S. Department of State must approve the partnership. Officials said that proposals submitted during their regular annual review process, which includes the application for the LIRS and Bethany partnership, will be reviewed this summer for implementation Oct. 1. The Allentown chapter of Lutheran Children and Family Services has been assisting refugees since the 1970s.

Welcome group seeks new leaders Continued from Page 1 “And that’s really important to attracting people to come to Indiana, to build our economy, to create that quality of life where people want to live here and raise a family. You want to feel welcome. And that’s what these signs do.” But now, after more than 25 years of beautifying the Indiana community, WTI needs the community’s help. “We’re at a crossroads right now,” said Linda Gibson, recording secretary for WTI. “The things that have been accomplished by Welcome to Indiana in the past are now accomplished through grants (and) formal procedures. Back in the day, those things didn’t exist.” Gibson explained that WTI is hesitant to shut down altogether in fear that certain community and beautification projects will not get done. She said tasks such as

“stepping back, taking a look at your own community — on a pretty regular basis — and saying, ‘That doesn’t make sense. That could be improved,’” are vital to a community’s success. “Are there other organizations that are already accomplishing that,” she said, “and can we feel confident that if Welcome to Indiana did not continue to meet on a regular basis — would those things still take place?” If WTI does not find new community members to take over and revamp the organization, its 26th annual meeting and tribute, at 11:30 a.m. Thursday at The Rustic Lodge, could be its last. “Unfortunately, now we just haven’t been able to attract enough young people in order to keep it going,” Moore said. “So when we say maybe this being the final meeting, we hope it isn’t, but if we

don’t get some more support it could be.” Gibson said there are three types of people who could be able to fill the shoes of the WTI founders: designers/dreamers, doers and decision-makers/delegates. The planting and maintenance of the trees in town is now handled by the borough, Moore said, so WTI mainly needs volunteers to assist with maintaining the signs and managing the sponsors, who pay $100 per year for their spots on the signs. Struzzi said he understands that volunteering for a civic organization in addition to the daily trials of life is “not often an easy task,” but visionary people could take advantage of many opportunities within the organization. “If new people stepped in, if new volunteers come forward with some energy and some ideas and some vision, what could be done?”

he said. “In what other ways could we beautify Indiana County, Indiana borough?” At the annual meeting, Bryan Stauffer and Jeff Raykes, of the Indiana County Office of Planning & Development, will present the results of the Indiana Community-University District project, which was initially announced at WTI’s annual meeting in 2014. Co-founder Bierwerth will also be traveling from North Carolina to present. “I guess the bottom line is we can’t even imagine what Indiana area would look like today if it were not for Welcome to Indiana,” Gibson said. For information or tickets to the annual meeting luncheon, call or text Jennifer English at (724) 9109382 or email her at jeng lish@klrealestate.com by Monday. If you’re interested in getting involved with WTI, contact Gibson.

Officials: Smoke detected on plane Continued from Page 1 Search crews are scouring for further wreckage of the aircraft. Experts said answers will come only with an examination of the wreckage and the plane’s cockpit voice and flight data recorders, commonly known as black boxes. Planes and vessels from Egypt and five other countries — Greece, Britain, France, the United States and Cyprus — continued searching a wide area of the eastern Mediterranean today, a day after the Egyptian military found debris from the passenger jet in the sea 180 miles north of the Egyptian port city of Alexandria. The waters in the area are 8,000 to 10,000 feet deep, and the pings from the black boxes can be detected up to a depth of 20,000 feet. Today, the Egyptian military released photographs of the debris from EgyptAir flight 804. The photos were posted on the Facebook page of the chief military spokesman. They appear to show the heavily damaged remains of plane seats, life jackets — one of which was seemingly undamaged — and a scrap of cloth that looks to be part of a baby’s purple and pink blanket or sleeping bag. The spokesman’s Face-

book page later posted a brief video that showed more debris, including what appeared to be a piece of blue carpet, seat belts, a shoe and what looked like a woman’s white handbag. The short clip opened with aerial footage of an unidentified navy ship followed by a speed boat with five service members aboard heading toward floating debris. Egyptian authorities said they believe terrorism is a more likely explanation than equipment failure, and some aviation experts have said the erratic flight suggests a bomb blast or a struggle in the cockpit. But so far no hard evidence has emerged. No militant group has claimed to have brought down the aircraft. That is a contrast to the downing of a Russian jet in October over Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula that killed all 224 on board. In that case, the Islamic State group’s branch in Sinai issued a claim of responsibility within hours. On Friday, IS issued a statement on clashes with the Egyptian military in Sinai, but said nothing about the plane crash. Three European security officials said on Friday that the passenger manifest for Flight 804 contained no names on terrorism watch

lists. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation. The manifest was leaked online and has not been verified by the airline. Further checks are being conducted on relatives of the passengers. French aviation investigators have begun to check and question all baggage handlers, maintenance workers, gate agents and other ground crew members at Charles de Gaulle Airport who had a direct or indirect link to the plane before it took off, according to a French judicial official. The official was not authorized to discuss the investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity. Whatever caused the aircraft to crash, the tragedy will most likely deepen Egypt’s difficult predicament as it struggles to revive a battered economy and contain an increasingly resilient insurgency by Islamic militants. In the five years since the country was first mired in turmoil caused by a popular uprising against longtime autocrat Hosni Mubarak, the lucrative tourism sector has been decimated, the value of the local currency has progressively fallen and domestic

debt has mushroomed. While the latest tragedy may not reflect directly on security at Egypt’s airports, as the Russian jet crash did in October, the country’s association with another air disaster will impact negatively on tourism and the flow of foreign investment. In Paris, French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said today that he and other officials — including representatives of Paris Aeroport, the French prosecutor, EgyptAir, and the Egyptian ambassador to Paris — had met with about 100 family members to express “our profound compassion” over the crash. In a statement delivered to reporters following the meeting, he said: “All the hypotheses are being examined — none are being favored.” “In the name of France, once more, I am expressing my solidarity, but also our affection ... for all those people who learned that a loved one, or even an entire family, have drowned in the sea — and who want to know, to know to be able to grieve. It’s a difficult moment, a painful moment. I wanted to say it again: We’re on their side.” Satter reported from Paris. Associated Press writer Angela Charlton contributed to this report from Paris.

Honolulu to settle suit from lesbians jailed after kissing By JENNIFER SINCO KELLEHER Associated Press

HONOLULU — Honolulu has agreed to pay $80,000 to settle a lawsuit from two gay women who allege a police officer wrongfully arrested them after seeing them kissing in a grocery store. Details of the settlement were announced Friday in federal court in Honolulu. It’s still subject to City Council approval. The council is expected to consider the settlement at a July 6 meeting, said Honolulu Deputy Corporation Counsel Nicolette Winter. “The Department of the Corporation Counsel be-

lieves that the tentative settlement is in the best interests of the city,” Corporation Counsel Donna Leong said in a statement. Courtney Wilson and Taylor Guerrero were visiting Hawaii from Los Angeles last year when, according to the their lawsuit, they were harassed and arrested because the officer didn’t like their public displays of affection in a Foodland store on Oahu’s North Shore. They were walking through the aisles holding hands and at one point hugged and kissed, the lawsuit said. Officer Bobby Harrison, who was shopping in uniform, “observed their consensual romantic

contact and, in a loud voice, ordered plaintiffs to stop and ‘take it somewhere else.’” The women complied and continued shopping, the lawsuit said. When Harrison again saw them being affectionate with each other, he threatened to have them thrown out of the store. While the women were in the check-out line, Harrison grabbed Wilson by the wrist, and she started to call 911, the women described last year. All three got into a scuffle and Harrison arrested them. They were charged with felony assault on an officer and spent three days in jail. Charges

were eventually dismissed. After the lawsuit was filed, the Honolulu Police Department opened an internal investigation. “The internal investigation was completed, and the allegations were not sustained,” department spokeswoman Michelle Yu said in an email. Harrison retired at the end of last year, she said. The settlement dismisses Harrison from the lawsuit and isn’t an admission of any wrongdoing, Winter said. Wilson said she and Guerrero are no longer a couple but remain friends. She went back to Los Angeles while Guerrero decided to stay in Honolulu.

HIGH SCHOOL TENNIS: Bishop Guilfoyle 3, Indiana 2

Indians come up short in state quarterfinals By The Indiana Gazette HERSHEY — The Indiana boys’ tennis team used hard work and perseverance to write a genuine Cinderella story this postseason. A year after missing the playoffs for the first time since 2011, the Indians won the WPIAL Section 3-AA title and punched their ticket to the WPIAL title match and the PIAA playoffs for just the second time in school history. The Indians faced a beatable opponent in the quarterfinals of the PIAA playoffs, District 6 champion Bishop Guilfoyle, but for the first time all postseason, their lack of doubles experience proved the difference in a loss.

Kellen Short and Joey Bujdos won in singles play, but the Indians dropped the No. 1 singles match in straight sets and both doubles matches in the same fashion to fall to Bishop Guilfoyle, 3-2, on Friday at the Hershey Racquet Club. Indiana concluded its season with a record of 16-5. Bishop Guilfoyle faces District 3 champion Wyomissing in the semifinals today. “We got this far missing our No. 4 player, Giaco Gentile, but this was the first match that his absence really affected us,” 28thyear Indiana coach Phil Palko said. “When you get to this level, any strike against you is going to hurt, and when you’re playing

quality opponents, it makes it that much harder to get through to the next round. My guys gave 100 percent … there was no doubt they left everything on the court today. They gave the best effort they could give, but we just came up a little short.” One of the Indians’ five senior leaders, No. 1 singles player John Appolonia, suffered just his second loss in the postseason by falling to District 6 singles champion Ryne Talko, 6-1, 6-3. Appolonia, who won his first section title this year, lost his only other match in the postseason to Sewickley Academy’s Luke Ross, the No. 2 junior player in the state and

EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS: Lightning 4, Penguins 3

All Evened Up

the WPIAL singles champion. Another senior leader, Kellen Short, won a hard-fought, back-and-forth match against Vincent D’Andrea that went to a super tiebreaker. Short ultimately won the match, 6-3, 3-6, 1-0 (10-6). Joey Bujdos continued to play like a senior in a freshman’s skin for the Indians, quickly dismantling Cole Rinker, 6-0, 6-1, in No. 3 singles play. “A lot of times tennis is about matchups,” Palko said. “It’s about how your guys compare with their opponents, and we matched up pretty well at No. 2 and 3 singles. Our 1, 2 and 3 singles have been our strength all year. Continued on Page 13

In 1986, when Halley’s Comet was visible from Earth, Jim Meighan spent a lot of time in his backyard in Blairsville. The comet enters the sun’s orbit only once every 75 to 76 years, so the amateur astronomer wasn’t going to miss the once-ina-lifetime event. On several occasions he turned his telescope and binoculars upward toward the evening and predawn skies and gazed at the comet. He not only watched, though. Meighan also sketched what he saw, and 30 years later, he occasionally pulls out those drawings to refresh his memory on what he viewed. The offensive linemen who played on Blairsville High School’s football teams since 1971 probably have some of Meighan’s work, too. Meighan has coached the offensive line almost continuously since that season, and as part of his job, he keeps a book on every one of them. He watches the game video, grades each player on every play of every game from his sophomore through senior year, jots down comments and uses those notes to coach the linemen. Then, at the end of each year, Meighan hands out the books to each senior as a keepsake. Like the comet he watched, the assistant football coach is a rare one, but he shows up year after year. Meighan has coached Blairsville football players for 45 years — and counting — on either a full-time or volunteer basis. Add in his time as an assistant track and wrestling coach, and Meighan has logged approximately 75 combined seasons in the coaching ranks. Combine that with the 38 years he spent as a seventh-grade social studies teacher at Blairsville, and Meighan has touched the lives of thousands of students and athletes over parts of six decades. On Sunday, Meighan will have another once-in-alifetime moment when he is inducted into the Indiana County Sports Hall of Fame. It is a rare occurrence for an assistant coach to receive such an honor, and Meighan earned the distinction not because of his longevity but because of his expertise as a coach who always put the athletes first. “The kids understood that he was really about them,” former Blairsville head football coach Ab Dettorre said. “Being a lineman

They all realized they were not going to get a lot of ink or glory, but he made them feel good about it. One way he does that is he has a book on each lineman, and he would grade them play by play after every game, including comments, so they had a plus or minus for every play, and they knew why. That meant for the most part he had to watch every game six or seven times … so he put a lot of personal time into this, and you don’t do that unless you really have a love for the game and a love for the athletes.

only three head coaches since 1966. The one constant for most of those 50 years has been Meighan, who began his coaching career at Saltsburg as the junior high football coach fresh out of college in 1969. “We went 6-1. A good coach would have been 70,” he cracked. Meighan joined Ernie Widmar’s staff at Blairsville in 1970, coached through all of Dettorre’s 26-year Continued on Page 15

Bolts rebound with victory

MLB: Pirates 2, Rockies 1

PIRATES CATCHER Francisco Cervelli tagged out Rockies catcher Dustin Garneau as he attempted to slide into home on Friday in Pittsburgh.

KEITH SRAKOCIC/Associated Press

Cole leads Pirates to slim win By JOHN PERROTTO Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Gerrit Cole didn’t have to give a detailed explanation about why he was the winning pitcher. “Defense,” the Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander said. “Stellar defense all over the diamond.” Starling Marte and John Jaso had two hits each and made fine defensive plays to help Cole navigate through seven shaky innings as the Pirates beat the Colorado Rockies 2-1 on Friday night. Cole (5-3) scattered 10 hits and a walk while not recording a strikeout as he won his second straight start. He allowed only one run after pitching eight scoreless innings last Sunday to beat the Cubs at Chicago. Cole had failed to get past the sixth inning in his first six starts. “Well, nobody can say he can’t win a game without striking out a lot of guys,” Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. “He found a different way to win and that’s a good learning experience for him.” David Freese snapped a 1-1 tie with a two-out single in the sixth inning to give the Pirates their fifth win in six games and eighth straight victory over the Rockies. Marte preserved the 2-1 lead in the seventh by throwing out Dustin Garneau at home to end the inning as Garneau tried to score from second base on Charlie Blackmon’s single to left. It was Marte’s sixth outfield assist,

tying for the National League lead with San Diego’s Matt Kemp. Marte led the NL with 16 last season. “It’s always fun to throw someone out, especially in a big situation,” Marte said. “I just try to throw it hard, not do too much, and hit the target.” Garneau said he knew he was taking a risk by running on Marte. “We all know that these guys can throw in the outfield and Marte’s got a special arm so I tried to get as far as I could of a lead at second base and get a good read,” Garneau said. “The ball one-hopped him and he’s got a freaking cannon. So, besides plowing (catcher Francisco) Cervelli, I really had no shot.” Mark Melancon worked around two singles in a scoreless ninth for his 14th save in 15 opportunities. Jaso, playing first base, twice robbed DJ LeMahieu of potential extra-base hits by snaring line drives and started an inning-ending double play after catching one in the second. “The first one was pretty much reflexes but it prepared me to be ready when it happened again,” Jaso said. Jaso grabbed Gerardo Parra’s oneout slow roller in the fourth inning and threw home for the forceout. Cole then ended the inning by getting LeMahieu to ground out. Jaso led off the first inning and scored the game’s first run on Gregory Polanco’s groundout. Jaso is 9-for18 in the first five games of this 10game homestand. Nolan Arenado hit his 14th home run in the sixth inning and was one of three Rockies with three hits, along with Blackmon and Mark Reynolds.

Colorado lost its third straight game, stranding nine baserunners. Eddie Butler (2-2) allowed two runs — one earned — and seven hits in six innings with no walks and one strikeout. “He did a nice job,” Rockies manager Walt Weiss said of Butler. “He got in trouble a little bit and minimized the damage. He worked out of some jams. He made some big pitches in key times and certainly did his part.” Rockies left fielder Carlos Gonzalez went 0-for-3 and is hitless in his last 15 at-bats and is on a 2-for-31 slide. Shortstop Trevor Story’s seven-game hitting streak ended as he went 0-for4. Pirates shortstop Jordy Mercer ran his hitting streak to six games with a triple in the fifth inning. NOTES: Rockies RHP Christian Bergman (strained left oblique) was placed on the 15-day DL after being injured Thursday night in the Rockies’ 13-7 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. … The Rockies recalled RHPs Miguel Castro and Jordan Lyles from Triple-A Albuquerque and optioned RHP Andrew Oberg to that club. Castro made six relief appearances and posted a 1.50 ERA for the Rockies earlier in the season. Lyles began the year in Colorado’s rotation and was 1-1 with a 7.64 ERA in four starts but will be used in long relief. … Rockies RHP Tyler Chatwood (5-3, 3.20 ERA) will start today. He has won all four road starts with a major league-best 0.33 ERA. … Pirates LHP Jon Niese (4-2, 5.48) will make his ninth start. The Pirates are 6-2 when he pitches.

MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Cubs snap Giants’ winning streak By The Associated Press

Jake Arrieta continued his impressive pitching and Kris Bryant provided the power as the Chicago Cubs beat the San Francisco Giants 8-1 on Friday night. The Cubs won in Arrieta’s 22nd consecutive start going back to last season, with their ace going 19-0 over that stretch. They won on the road for the 24th time in 29 games as they snapped San Francisco’s eight-game winning streak. Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward left the game in the bottom of the first inning after crashing into the wall on a diving catch. Heyward is under evaluation for an injury to his right torso abdominal region, the Cubs said. Arrieta, who leads the majors with a 1.29 ERA, allowed four hits, struck out eight and walked one in seven innings. PADRES 7, DODGERS 6: Melvin Upton Jr. hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning to lead the San Diego Padres past the Los Angeles Dodgers. After Wil Myers hit a bloop single to shallow center to lead off the ninth against Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen, Upton went the opposite way beyond the right-center field fence for the comeback victory. NATIONALS 4, MARLINS 1: Tanner Roark finally beat the team that kept beating him, pitching 6 2-3 innings to help Washington past Miami. Roark (3-3) came into the game 0-3 in three starts against the Marlins this season with an ERA of 8.40. Against the rest of the majors, he’s 20 in five starts with an ERA of 0.79. Ryan Zimmerman and Michael Taylor homered to help the Nationals score all their runs in the second inning. METS 3, BREWERS 2: Steven Matz pitched seven sharp innings to win his sixth consecutive start, Michael Conforto hit a two-run homer and New York beat Milwaukee. After skipping a turn in the rotation last weekend because of a sore elbow, Matz (6-1) picked up right where he left off in his previous outing May 9 at Dodger Stadium. The rookie left-hander held the Brewers to three hits. The only real hiccup for Matz came when Chris Carter connected for his 13th home run of the season, a tworun shot in the first inning. After that, Matz retired 15 straight. Jeurys Familia closed flawlessly for his 14th save.

With the Mets trailing 2-1, Asdrubal Cabrera singled to start the sixth and Conforto homered off Wily Peralta (2-5). BRAVES 7, PHILLIES 1: Freddie Freeman homered twice and drove in four runs and Nick Markakis also hit a home run to lead Atlanta to a victory. It was a rare power surge for the Braves, who entered last in the majors by a wide margin with just 15 homers. Philadelphia’s 31 homers entering Friday were second from the bottom in the big leagues. Aaron Nola (3-3) gave up five runs — two earned — and seven hits in seven innings. DIAMONDBACKS 11, CARDINALS 7: Patrick Corbin (2-3) struck out seven and Chris Herrmann homered with three RBIs for the Arizona Diamondbacks in a victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Michael Bourn and Chris Owings added two RBIs apiece for the Diamondbacks, who are 13-7 on the road and 7-17 at home. They pulled away with seven runs over the last two innings and have won nine of 10 road series openers dating to last September. AMERICAN LEAGUE INDIANS 4, RED SOX 2: Jason Kipnis hit a three-run homer, Corey Kluber slowed down the majors’ top-scoring team for seven innings and Cleveland won its fifth straight game. Boston’s Jackie Bradley Jr. extended his hitting streak to 25 games with a solo home run. Kluber (3-5) allowed five hits, struck out six and walked two.

ROYALS 4, WHITE SOX 1: Omar Infante, Paulo Orlando and Lorenzo Cain all doubled in a three-run sixth inning off Jose Quintana to lead Kansas City to a victory over Chicago. Orlando added an RBI single an inning later and Dillon Gee (1-1) allowed a run over five innings for his first victory since 2014. The Royals won for the fifth time in seven games and moved within 3½ games of the AL Central-leading White Sox. BLUE JAYS 9, TWINS 3: Jose Bautista hit a three-run home run to break open the game in the sixth inning and Toronto slugged its way to a victory over Minnesota. Josh Donaldson, Michael Saunders and Darwin Barney also went deep for Toronto. Aaron Sanchez (4-1) gave up two runs on eight hits with seven strikeouts in seven innings for

The Indiana Gazette

the Blue Jays. RANGERS 2, ASTROS 1: Colby Lewis pitched seven scoreless innings and Prince Fielder provided the offense with a two-run double to lead Texas to a victory. Lewis (3-0) allowed four hits and struck out six in his first scoreless outing this season to pick up his first win since April 29. RAYS 7, TIGERS 5: Steven Souza and Steve Pearce homered to help Tampa Bay beat Detroit. Miguel Cabrera homered twice for the Tigers. Matt Andriese (3-0) picked up the win despite allowing four runs in 5 13 innings. Four relievers followed, with Alex Colome pitching the ninth for his 11th save in 11 chances. YANKEES 8, ATHLETICS 3: CC Sabathia came off the disabled list to pitch six innings and become the eighth player in the modern era to win 100 games or more with two teams, and the New York Yankees beat the Oakland Athletics. Carlos Beltran doubled three times and drove in three runs, Jacoby Ellsbury added two RBIs while Ronald Torreyes had a two-run triple during a five-run fourth inning to help the Yankees to their second straight win in this series after getting swept by the A’s in April. ORIOLES 9, ANGELS 4: Chris Davis hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer in the seventh inning — one of four in the game by the Orioles — and Baltimore defeated the Los Angeles Angels in the series opener after blowing a three-run lead. Mark Trumbo also hit a two-run blast, and Joey Rickard and Manny Machado added back-to-back solo shots for the AL East leaders who improved to 8-7 away from home. INTERLEAGUE MARINERS 8, REDS 3: Dae-Ho Lee’s bases-loaded single completed Seattle’s late rally against the major leagues’ worst bullpen, and he later added a solo homer. Blake Wood (3-1) relieved in the seventh and loaded the bases on two singles and a walk. Wood walked Seth Smith to force in a run, and Tony Cingrani came on and hit Robinson Cano with his first pitch to tie it. Lee’s pinch-hit single with two outs knocked in the go-ahead runs. Nelson Cruz and Lee homered in the ninth off Jumbo Diaz, the 35th and 36th homers allowed by Reds relievers this season.

Continued from Page 11 Vasilevskiy had a 4-0 lead entering the third period, but the Penguins didn’t give up. Phil Kessel and Evgeni Malkin scored to give Pittsburgh hope, and Chris Kunitz’s power-play goal trimmed the deficit to one with a little less than 7 minutes remaining. “We were not the more determined team for the first half of the game,” Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. “They are a good team, and we knew this was going to be a hard game.” Tampa Bay was outshot 16-7 over the final 20 minutes after dominating the first two periods. Malkin and Jason Schultz tested Vasilevskiy in the final 2:10, but Vasilevskiy stopped both efforts to tie the score. The 21-year-old goaltender, filling in for injured Vezina Trophy finalist Ben Bishop, finished with 35 saves in his fourth career playoff start. Marc-Andre Fleury replaced Murray in goal for the Penguins at the start of the third, and Kessel’s team-leading eighth goal began the rally that just fell short. The Lightning were outshot 89-49 in the previous two games, a disparity that Cooper called “unacceptable” after the Penguins took a 2-1 series lead. But the experience of the highs of lows of last year’s playoff run to the Stanley Cup final has served the defending conference champions well over the past month. While acknowledging there was a sense of urgency to play better, Cooper and his players insisted the team was not overly discouraged after being badly outplayed in Games 2 and 3 because they been down in series before and found ways to come back. Callahan’s first goal since Game 3 of the Lightning’s second-round win over the New York Islanders got them rolling. Sustr’s second career playoff goal — first this postseason — made it 2-0 at 14:28 of the opening period. Drouin and Johnson — playing with a full cage and later a plastic shield on his helmet after taking a puck to the face during warmups — scored in the second to

build the lead to 4-0. Drouin scored with a minute left in a fourminute power play that Penguins were unable kill with defenseman Kris Letang in the penalty box for cross-checking and roughing. The Penguins, relentless in Game 3 when they took 48 shots en route to a 4-2 victory, were unable to convert a couple of good scoring chances in the first period and had limited opportunities until finally cracking Vasilevskiy in the third. Kessel scored at 1:18 of the third period, beating Vasilevskiy from above the right circle. The goal was his team-leading eighth of the playoffs, with Nick Bonino and Brian Dumoulin picking up assists. Malkin scored at 11:13 and the Penguins drew closer when Kunitz added his goal with 6:52 remaining. Penguins captain Sidney Crosby said the slow start was not as “horrible as it was made out to be,” noting Tampa Bay entered the night as the more desperate team after losing two straight. “It wasn’t the start we wanted for sure,” Crosby said, “but we still had our chances to get back into the game before it became 40.” NOTES: Murray stopped 26 of 30 shots through two periods. Fleury finished with seven saves. ... Injured Lightning captain Steven Stamkos continues to practice, however there’s still no definitive timetable for a possible return from surgery for a blood clot discovered near his right collarbone. “I’m hoping to, but there’s still a real possibility that I may not play at all in the playoffs. It’s tough when you have two different parts of the spectrum,” Stamkos said. “It’s either you’re going to be able to play or it’s just not safe to play. So we still haven’t come to that decision yet. That’s going to take a lot of information gathering and a lot of different opinions.”... Penguins RW Patric Hornqvist played after missing the closing minutes of Game 3, when he was shaken up blocking a shot. ... Both teams went 1 of 4 on power-play opportunities.

Pens haven’t dominated series Continued from Page 11 Fleury’s first stop in seven weeks came on a 2-on-1 early in the third period. He stopped all seven shots thrown at him. Matt Murray, the starter during Fleury’s absence, did not have a bad game Friday night. He gave up four goals, the first off a deflection and the other three when he got hung out to dry. Now that he’s seen some action, should Fleury start in goal Sunday night? Murray has been great, and he’s done nothing to lose the job. The Penguins rode him this far and should stick with him. • Hey, NBCSN analysts, Kris Letang did not shoot the puck after the whistle and did not purposely hit an opposing player with the puck. To stop play after a penalty, the offending team must touch the puck to get a whistle. That’s the rule. Letang banked the puck off the boards, something players often do to stop play in such a situation. If the whistle blew before Letang touched the puck — it didn’t — then the official screwed up. Letang’s mistake was taking not one but two penalties after the play. With the Penguins already facing a shorthanded situation, Letang took one penalty for a crosscheck and another for roughing, both after the play was blown dead. He put his team in a bad spot. Fortunately, the Lightning also took a roughing penalty or the Penguins would have faced a 5-on-3 followed by a 5-on-4. Letang lost his cool — again — and left his team shorthanded for four min-

utes facing a 2-0 deficit. The Penguins killed off the first three minutes — and they did it without three of their best penalty killers: Letang, who was in the box for four minutes; Matt Cullen, who was in the box on the original penalty; and Trevor Daley, who was injured only minutes before the start of the power play. The defenseman took not one but two dumb penalties, they came at the worst time, and they came back to haunt the Penguins, making their third-period comeback just a little too hard to pull off. • The Penguins went 1for-4 on the power play. They might have done better with the man advantage if an obvious slash on Phil Kessel had been called during the third chance. When a guy gets his stick slashed and it breaks, it should be an automatic call, especially when it happens right in front of the net, where the officials are presumably looking. It should be called whether the offending team is playing shorthanded or at even strength. The officials had no trouble ringing up Letang for two penalties that led to that extended power play for Tampa Bay, so not wanting to put the Lightning down two men should not be an excuse. The Penguins should have had a 5-on-3 down 20. It could have changed the game. • Parting shot: Every penalty for boarding — hitting a player from behind and driving him into the boards — should be a fiveminute major. Maybe then players will stop doing it. It’s one of the most dangerous plays in the game.

Indians come up short in PIAA quarterfinals Continued from Page 11 “John just ran into a kid that he had to play his best to beat, and that just didn’t happen. It certainly wasn’t for a lack of effort, though.” The Marauders’ No. 1 doubles team of Jimmy Burke and Danny Sullivan defeated Indiana’s Badi Zhou and Mitchell Lewis, 6-2, 6-2, and their No. 2 doubles team of Matt Unpingo and Jake Dillen beat Yongjie Weng and Brett Brice, 6-4, 61. Weng and Lewis are first-year tennis players, and Brice is a second-year player. “Their doubles teams just played better today,” Palko said. “I talked to a coach from Altoona who saw this team play, so I had a clue that they had a pretty good No. 1 doubles team. We were pretty even in second doubles, but we just didn’t play as well as we could have.” Palko guided the Indiana girls’ team to the state tournament as an assistant coach for the first time in school history in 2014, when the Indians lost in the quarterfinals. The Indians made their first trip to states since 2007, the year they were eliminated in the first round by Somerset. “As far as coming to Hershey, I really thought the last time I’d ever see this place was in 2007,” Palko said. “That was such an amazing group of kids we had that year. Someone actually asked me who would win between the two teams. I’d say this year’s team would give them a

great match, but the 2007 team was a little more experienced and a little more talented.” Indiana breezed to the section title and knocked off Hopewell to reach the WPIAL championship match. The Indians lost to Sewickley Academy, which has won 13 straight WPIAL titles, in the championship match. Indiana then knocked off Bedford in the first round of the state tournament. “This year’s group just worked exceptionally hard to get to where we were,” Palko said. “We really earned it, and coming down here was great. We overachieved in the WPIAL tournament, and against Hopewell, we really came out and played our best tennis against a quality opponent at the right time. I didn’t see that happening at the beginning of the season, so that was kind of amazing. Once we got to that point, we were like, ‘Hey, let’s see how far we can take this.’”

Crane takes lead in Texas

By The Associated Press

For Jordan Spieth, it only seems as if it has been a while since he topped a leaderboard. For Ben Crane, it actually had been. Crane shot a 7-under 63 on Friday at the Byron Nelson to take the second-round lead at 12under 128. He was one stroke ahead of a quartet of players that included Spieth, playing only his second tournament since squandering a five-stroke lead on the back nine when trying to win his second consecutive Masters. Spieth was alone in the lead for a bit while playing in the morning, but after finishing his round of 65 was tied at the top with Brooks Koepka (64) and Bud Cauley (65). Firstround co-leader Sergio Garcia also joined them after a 66 later in the day. “It hasn't been that long,” said Spieth, speaking before Crane's afternoon round. “The Masters felt like it was quite a while ago and that's why it almost feels like, that's why I'm getting the questions, ‘Was it nice to have your name back on top?’ Well, I mean (it was) two tournaments ago.” The last time Crane had led a tournament was going wire-to-wire to win at Memphis two years ago, the last of his five PGA Tour victories and his last top-10 finish. This is his 48th tournament since. Crane, who turned 40 in March, took the lead after six birdies in an eight-hole stretch during the afternoon, including a 70-footer from a greenside bunker at the par-4 third hole, his 12th of the day, to get to 10 under for the tournament. He initially took the outright lead with a 3-foot birdie putt at the par-4 sixth. “I've been struggling really for three years now, but intermittent bits of encouragement,” Crane said. “This has been one of those weeks where I feel like my game is really coming around.” CHAMPIONS: Kenny Perry shot a 2-under 70 to maintain a one-stroke lead over Bernhard Langer and Billy Andrade in the Regions Tradition. Perry had three birdies and a bogey to reach 10under 134 at Greystone in the first of the year’s five

PGA Tour Champions majors. The 2014 Regions Tradition winner has missed only one green in regulation. Conditions changed after his bogey-free opening 64. Tournament officials opted for a two-tee start because of weather concerns, with Perry and Langer starting on the 10th tee. The course received 0.14 inches of rain overnight and in the morning, forcing a 30minute delay to start. Langer had a 69, and Andrade shot 68. Gene Sauers (70), Scott McCarron (66) and Kevin Sutherland were 8 under. Recently turned 50, John Daly had his second straight roller-coaster 70. He had a triple bogey to go to 4 over through three holes and also had a string of four birdies in six holes. LPGA: So Yeon Ryu had six birdies in an eight-hole stretch and shot a 7-under 64 to take the secondround lead in the Kingsmill Championship. Ranked 11th in the world but sixth in the race for the four spots on South Korea’s Olympic team, Ryu opened with a bogey on the 10th hole, then used the birdie run to make the turn in 5under 30. The 2011 U.S. Women’s Open champion added birdies on the par-4 fourth and par-5 seventh and closed with two pars to reach 7-under 135 on the soggy River Course. Fourth-ranked Stacy Lewis, No. 6 Amy Yang and first-round leader Mika Miyazato were a stroke back. Lewis had a bogey-free 66, Yang had a 67, and Miyazato followed her opening 65 with a 71. Lewis tied for second two weeks ago in Alabama for her 10th runner-up finish in a 49-event drought. The 11-time tour winner has 23 career secondplace finishes. Top-ranked Lydia Ko was 1 under after 68. PGA EUROPEAN: Masters champion Danny Willett shot a 1-under 71 for a share of the lead in the Irish Open, leaving home favorite Rory McIlroy a stroke back. Willett, from England, matched Scotland’s Mark Warren (66) at 8-under 136 at The K Club. The third-ranked McIlroy, from Northern Ireland, had a 70.

INDIANA COUNTY YOUTH LEGION BASEBALL

Young Township shuts down Kovacik Insurance By The Indiana Gazette Josh Gibbons tossed a three-hitter, and Young Township jumped out to an early lead and never looked back in a 9-1 win over Kovacik Insurance in an Indiana County Youth Legion baseball game Friday at Bertolino Field. Gibbons struck out nine, walked three and allowed just three base hits. “He’s been on lately,” Young Township coach J.T. Yard said. “He had 10 strikeouts in his last outing, and tonight he had great control and mixed his speeds well. He also worked ahead in most of his counts, and he ended up throwing only 84 pitches. Anytime you need just 84 pitches to throw a complete game at this level you’re doing pretty good.” The game was in West Lebanon, but Kovacik Insurance was the home team. Joe Harkleroad went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBIs and three stolen bases. Losing pitcher Greg Hines struck out seven and allowed six hits in five innings. Young Township travels to Indiana Lions today, andKovacik Insurance visits Indiana Lions on Monday. CLYMER LEGION 4, KELLY CHRYSLER 3: Clymer Legion scored four early runs and then escaped two late jams to edge host Kelly Chrysler, 4-3, for its first win of the year. Clymer Legion scored two runs on three hits and an error in the top of the first inning before plating two runs on a hit and an error in the second to take a 4-0 lead. Kelly Chrysler scored a run in the third and two runs in the fifth to make the score 4-3, but that was as close as the Blue

Sox would get to tying the game. Kelly Chrysler stranded two runners in each of the last two innings. “We were just popping the ball up and hitting way too many ground balls,” Kelly Chrysler coach Rob LaBenne said. “Everyone was hitting the ball, but it was just one of those nights where we couldn’t get any big hits.” Kyle Detweiler struck out two, walked six and allowed one hit in 4 1-3 innings to earn the win. Tony Bertolino allowed one hit in 2-3 innings of relief, and Austin Hill surrendered two hits in two innings of relief. Kelly Chrysler (1-2) travels to I-Medical today, and Clymer Legion (1-3) plays host to Armstrong on Wednesday. MARION CENTER 6, I-MEDICAL 3: In a game played Thursday, visiting Marion Center scored the first four runs and outhit IMedical 10-2 to earn a win. Winning pitcher Tyler Lightcap struck out three and allowed two hits and three runs in five innings. Lightcap also singled twice, and Taylor McCunn fanned four and surrendered no hits and no runs in two innings of relief to pick up the save. Matt Badzik singled and doubled to lead Marion Center. McCunn, Matt Gaston and Brendan Mondi stroked two base hits apiece. For I-Medical, Derek Huey struck out three and allowed six hits and four runs in three innings, and Alec Greenblatt struck out four and allowed four hits and two runs in four innings of relief. I-Medical travels to Armstrong on Monday, and Marion Center visits Kelly Chrysler on Wednesday.

Meighan made major impact Continued from Page 11 tenure and remains a member of Rick Artley’s staff. He took one year off in 1971 when he was drafted into the Army and another for personal reasons in 1982. During that time, Blairsville won 10 conference championships, five in the now-defunct Appalachian Conference and five in the Heritage Conference. No school has won more. “He’s been a huge help for us,” Artley said. “Even for a few years when he wasn’t listed as a full-time coach, he was still showing up at every offensive practice to help out. He’s always been there. He has been dedicated to Blairsville, and Blairsville has had one of the best coaching minds in the area for so long.” Meighan will be inducted along with one of his former pupils, R.K. Shoemaker, who was a standout center at Blairsville before moving on to Mount Union College, which claimed three straight NCAA Division III championships during his four seasons. Shoemaker also briefly coached at Blairsville as a volunteer after college. “All my technique came from him, everything from stance and the right way to play the game and what kind of work ethic he expected out of you — everything, from fundamentals all the way up,” Shoemaker said. “He covered the whole game of teaching me. I only played two years of peewee football so he was the only coach I ever knew aside from those two years. He did everything, and he was a great mentor, too. He was great to coach with when I came back, too. He showed me the other side of the game. The offense had changed a little bit when I came back and he was able to show me the ins and outs of teaching the kids.” Meighan was popular on the football field and in the classroom, motivating his players and students alike. He retired from teaching in 2006. “I used to get those ninthgraders every year when they were coming up,” Dettorre said, “and I’d randomly ask who was their favorite teacher, and 95 percent, without a doubt, would say Mr. Meighan. And it’s not because he was a pushover. He was demanding and a taskmaster, but very fair, and his way of bringing out information was something that really appealed to not only the athlete but to the everyday student. That doesn’t say he doesn’t coach with a little bit of fervor and fire, because that’s there also.”

FOOTBALL HAS CHANGED

during Meighan’s career. He has changed with it. He’s not only a coach of the game, he’s a student of the game. The son of a high school football coach, he began his career under Widmar, who ran a Power-I offense that did not include much passing. Dettorre took over in 1987 and installed the veer, an option-based offense that incorporated the pass. Under Artley, a former standout quarterback, the Bobcats like to wing the ball around the field much more and count on zoneblocking schemes to open up running and passing lanes. Meighan’s favorite? “A hybrid of the option and zone,” he said. To keep up, Meighan studied, learned, adjusted and taught the players every step of the way. “He was dedicated to football and dedicated to his job, and that’s why we were successful over the years,” Widmar said. “The thing with Jim that he was smart about too was that he knew the defense he was going against. He studied them and knew them, and after all those years of experience he had, it was just like another day at the shop. I know in later years the style of blocking I hear they’re using now isn’t quite the same as it was in the old days, and I’m not real familiar with that kind of stuff, but he always stayed on top of all that.” In those early years, the Blairsville staff consisted of three full-time coaches: Widmar, the head coach; Ed Kozar, the defensive coordinator; and Meighan. “They taught me pretty much how I coached,”

Meighan said, “Ernie with his attention to detail and Kozar with the versatility he had when he was calling the defense and his ability to make the game fun. He was serious when he needed to be serious but really enjoyed the kids. You can get angry and yell, but you have to have fun with the kids, and I still try coach that way.” “Honestly, I’m going to tell you, and I worked with Jim probably more than anybody … he was just a joy to be around,” Kozar said. “He was very positive about everything and doing the right thing at the right time. And the kids really liked him and respected him, and honestly, I don’t know if there’s anything negative to say about him. We really had quite a thing there.” Meighan has stayed on top of things by attending clinics, reading books, scouring the Internet for numerous articles and, of course, watching countless hours of film and video. As a young coach, he watched film in his bedroom, pulling a movie screen out of his closest and loading the reels of film onto a projector. “I’d run it back and forth until I burnt the film, and then I’d have to splice it,” he said. “And then we went to VCRs and DVDs, and now Hudl is a tremendous thing.” Hudl, an online service, provides tools for coaches and players to review game footage online. Coaches often upload the video the night or morning after the game, and it can be viewed on any electronic device. It is only one of the many tools coaches can find on the Internet. “You can sit at the computer and take your time and watch a game,” Meighan said. “It’s easy to look things up. … Now there’s no excuse not to know something. I got our no-back protection from the Internet.” Having spent all of his adult life in the football program, Meighan has provided expertise and stability for coaches and players over the course of five decades. “I’ve always felt that I was very fortunate that he elected to stay on and coach as long as he did with us and to this day,” Dettorre said. “The reasons for that are many. I look at the time spent at preparation and his professionalism and willingness to study the game in order to grow and change with the game. He was the consummate assistant coach. I’ve said many times that he is the best coach that I’ve been associated with, and I mean that for all those reasons. “Those are the guys that really make the machine work.” “He is the consummate pro,” Artley said. “He’s in there doing work regardless if we’re 2-7 or 9-0. Nothing changes with him. He has a schedule that he works on week in and week out and puts in more time than I could ever imagine a fulltime coach putting in. Before, he was doing that when he was a teacher, and now he’s doing it and has grandchildren. He’s a benefit for Blairsville, for sure.” Meighan credits Widmar and Kozar for teaching him the coaching ropes. He carried it to the next level with his research and film study. “Jim was one tremendous assistant coach,” Widmar said. “He came on as a rookie, and as he progressed and the years went on he became like a head coach to me because he was a tremendous line coach. That’s one thing I didn’t have to worry about with Jim, and with Ed Kozar, it was almost like we had three head coaches, and that’s why we were so successful in those years. When I retired I asked both if they wanted to be the head coach, but Jim never wanted to do that. I could never figure out why because he was such a tremendous guy. He’s been very important to the Blairsville football program, and the 40-some years they’ve had him as an assistant, that is remarkable. I can’t think of too many head coaches who have had a guy like him all those years.”

MEIGHAN COULD HAVE

been a varsity head coach, but he never wanted to take on that job.

“No, I never, never did,” he said. “As things went along my temperament was bad enough coaching as far as the pressure I put on myself. I knew if I was a head coach, I probably couldn’t handle that pressure.” “He could be a head coach, absolutely,” Dettorre said. “But he’s not a limelight kind of guy. He’s embarrassed about this (induction) because he’s not that kind of guy.” In fact, Dettorre thinks, Meighan could have followed the path of another former Blairsville assistant, Jack Henry, who began coaching at Blairsville before building a successful career in the major college ranks and as an NFL assistant. Meighan succeeded him as the Bobcats’ line coach. Most assistant coaches at that level, however, jump around from city to city, depending on the success of the men they work under. Meighan opted for the stability of life for his family in his adopted hometown, his teaching job and smallschool high school football. “He’s one of those guys, had he chosen a different path to start to climb that ladder, the sky was absolutely the limit,” Dettorre said. “He could have followed the footsteps of Jack Henry, and Jack of course ended up with a great NFL career. But you have too many moves and sacrifices. If Jim had chosen that path, because of his work ethic and ability to research and seek out the knowledge necessary, he would have been an excellent candidate at a high level of collegiate football or even the NFL.” Shoemaker, who played in a dominant small-college program, echoed those sentiments. “He was my junior high coach as well as my varsity coach so I had him for two sets of football,” he said. “He was a pretty well organized guy and probably just as qualified to coach my college team as he was my high school team. That’s how diligent and organized he was as far as grading assignments and plays and his grading books. He’s a heck of a coach. No doubt about it he definitely could have come up and coached my college team.”

MEIGHAN DIDN’T LIMIT

his coaching expertise to football. He spent more than 20 years as an assistant track and field coach under Kozar at Blairsville and Jim Berkey at Saltsburg after the two schools merged most of their athletic teams — football and a couple others excluded. Success followed. Blairsville won its first Appalachian Conference title in 1987 and claimed backto-back District 6 Class AA team titles in 1996 and 1997, becoming one of only a handful of local programs to do so. In an even rarer occurrence, Saltsburg won the Indiana County Meet in 2005, emerging as one of the few schools to unseat Indiana in the annual event. “It was Jim and me and Elaine Jellison,” Kozar said of the Blairsville teams, “and we took over a track team that was very down … but we worked it up, and once Danny Cunkelman took over with the cross country program and built up that team, we ended up one time undefeated in dual meets for three years and won the district championship two times in a row. … Jim was in charge of distance runners and worked with Danny, and he got along very well with those kids. … I’m very proud of the careers we had in Blairsville at that time, and all my memories of Jim and coaching have been very positive.” Again, coaching track was just a matter of doing some research, and in 1991 the Bobcats gave Meighan another proud accomplishment when the 3,200meter relay team placed fourth in the state. “Kozar asked me to take the distance runners, and I was able to fit in there pretty easily,” Meighan said. “It was just a matter of getting a book or two and finding ways to train those distance runners, and I really enjoyed that. We had some good kids there, too.” The victory in the county meet almost didn’t happen. The coaches asked one of

their athletes to run in an event, which turned out to be his fifth of the meet. Athletes are permitted to compete in only four events per meet. The coaches didn’t realize the mistake until Monday, two days after the meet. They immediately made a phone call to admit the error and wound up losing the 40 points the athlete had accumulated. “Berkey was sick. I was sick,” Meighan said. “He called to turn us in and they did their work and took away the points and we ended up still winning. That was a good win for us.” Meighan also coached junior high wrestling for eight years, under Bill Moore. He readily admits it was a sport he knew nothing about, so naturally he read up on the subject and learned on the fly. He recalled one memorable match involving one of his wrestlers, whom he described as pudgy. Facing a bigger, stronger and more experienced opponent, his wrestler stumbled early in the match. When the opponent shot in, the Blairsville youngster took him down for an improbable pin. “He told me afterward he faked that stumble,” Meighan said. “That was the happiest I ever was as a coach. The kids on the other team were sort of laughing at him and giggling, and he came out and pinned that big kid. That was probably the highlight of my wrestling career right there.”

MEIGHAN DEVOTES a lot of time to football, but he has other interests. He enjoys spending time with his family and recently returned from a trip to California, where he watched his grandson play baseball for the first time. In addition, he is the president and safety officer of the Blairsville Fire Department and has been an active member for 43 years. He enjoys an annual bass fishing trip to the Shenandoah River with his friends and former coaches, Kozar and Berkey, and has introduced his grandchildren to fishing. Of course, he is a voracious reader and covers a wide range of fiction and nonfiction subjects as well as politics. And he continues to look skyward through his telescopes and binoculars. Meighan turns 70 in December, and like most coaches of his age with his tenure, he plans to continue on a year-to-year basis. There is one condition, set by his wife, Kris: He must take a week off each September for a vacation to North Carolina with family and friends and their dogs. “My wife gave me her blessing,” he said. “Before I got back into it again and was just a volunteer, we always went to the Outer Banks, and she said I could coach as long as I want but we have to have that week when we go to the Outer Banks. I presented that to Coach Artley, and he said it was OK. It’s a big thing for her, and I enjoy it, too, but I’m still scratching X’s and O’s and that kind of stuff when I’m down there. So I guess I can go until I feel like quitting.”

BRIEFS From Gazette wire services

Steelers sign second-round draft pick PITTSBURGH — The Steelers signed second-round draft selection Sean Davis on Friday. Financial terms of the four-year deal were not disclosed. Davis, a 6-foot-1, 202-pound safety, was the 58th overall pick. He played collegiately at Maryland. He started 40 of 50 games and finished his career with 318 tackles. Davis is the fourth of the Steelers’ seven selections to sign with the team.

Blues making goalie change for Game 4 SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — The St. Louis Blues are making a change in goal for Game 4 after losing two straight games in the Western Conference final. Coach Ken Hitchcock said Friday that Jake Allen will get the nod today against the San Jose Sharks when the Blues try to even the series at two games apiece. Elliott has started all 17 games this postseason for St. Louis. Elliott was pulled in the third period of a 3-0 loss in Game 3 on Thursday night after allowing his third goal on 14 shots. After a stellar performance in the opener when he stopped 31 of 32 shots in a 2-1 victory, Elliott has allowed three goals in back-to-back games. Allen started all six games last postseason for St. Louis when he allowed 2.20 goals per game and posted a .904 save percentage in a first-round loss to Minnesota.

USOC leader says system is flawed UNDATED (AP) — The leader of the U.S. Olympic Committee said the latest anti-doping headlines make it “increasingly difficult to defend the current system.” In a wide-ranging interview with The Associated Press, USOC CEO Scott Blackmun spoke about America’s preparation for the Rio de Janeiro Games — plans being jarred by ongoing concerns about the Zika virus, along with a growing feeling among U.S. athletes that not everybody will be on a level playing field when the Olympics start in August. In his first comments on the anti-doping crisis, Blackmun said “it is increasingly difficult to defend the current system following a breakdown of this magnitude.”

Magic announce Vogel as new head coach ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — After agreeing to a deal with Frank Vogel on Thursday, the Orlando Magic completed a whirlwind eight days by formally announcing their new head coach. The team confirmed reports that Vogel had been hired and will be formally introduced on Monday. Vogel replaces Scott Skies, who surprised the organization when he resigned on May 12. Vogel comes to Orlando as a proven head coach with playoff experience having led the Indiana Pacers the last five full seasons with the team making the postseason in each of those seasons.

Rain washes out All-Star events CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Rain washed out all track activity Friday at Charlotte Motor Speedway, which will now try to cram it's All-Star weekend into one day. The steady showers forced NASCAR to call off the scheduled Sprint Showdown, a race that will send five drivers not already qualified for the All-Star race, into the main event. The Truck Series race also was postponed. Both events were rescheduled for early Saturday, with the $1 million All-Star Race still scheduled to go off in the evening. NASCAR set the showdown field by points. The lack of track time Friday could be problematic for many race teams. NASCAR only announced the format for the all-star race on May 6, and the rules were not given to teams until earlier this week.

Harvick signs extension with SHR CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — As rumors swirled that Kevin Harvick planned to leave Stewart-Haas Racing, he took Kasey Kahne aside and promised him he wasn’t after his job. The speculation turned out to be baseless. Harvick said Friday SHR held a two-year option on him that the team always planned to exercise. Ultimately, his contract was restructured and announced this week as an extension. It finally put to rest rumors that Harvick planned to jump ship and replace Kahne at Hendrick Motorsports.

THE YMCA fundraising team #allheart, led by Tracey Redd, Vickie Shank and Gail Munzert, hosted the 2016 Basket Raffle at Twisted Jimmy’s on May 13 to raise funds and support Big Hearts Little Hands of Indiana County. BHLH is a mentoring program of the YMCA of Indiana County. Boys and girls on the waiting list are matched with an adult mentor. Presently BHLH has 40 children registered in the program; however, there are only 15 matches. To become a mentor or make a financial contribution, contact Kelsey Doak or George Nance at (724) 463-9622 or bhlh@icymca.org. All of the money raised through the basket raffle will stay in Indiana County to support the youths and teens who participate in the program. Pictured are volunteers, from left, Shank, Redd, Jacquie Gonos and Munzert.

Nature camps aim to draw kids from screens to outdoors By KATHERINE ROTH Associated Press

In this age of digital screens and busy schedules, nature day camps are in demand, and many offer a more diverse array of experiences than parents probably realize. “Offering children direct contact with nature — getting their feet wet and hands muddy — should be at the top of the list of vital camp experiences,” says Richard Louv, author of “Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder” (Algonquin Books, 2008). His writings are cited by many nature camp directors as inspiring their work. Nature-oriented day camps are held in county parks, private preserves, botanical gardens and other green places across the country. “There’s a real movement toward helping more kids connect with nature,” says Sarah Milligan-Toffler, executive director of the Children in Nature Network, a Minneapolis-based nonprofit group for which Louv is chairman emeritus. Nature camps generally combine immersion in natural outdoor settings with art and science education, says Michael Goldman, education manager at the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey in Maitlin, Fla. It is one of dozens of Audubon centers across the country that together offer nature camps to more than

CHERRY TREE — The annual Kids Kamp will be held July 18 to 22 and the annual Back to School Festival will be held Aug. 27 at the Lighthouse Morning Star Ministries, 4886 Route 240, Cherry Tree. Donations are being sought for children in Indiana and Cambria counties. Last year 150 children were transported by van for Kids Kamp and 100 children for the Back to School Festival.

Food supplies needed include cereal, pancake mix, apples, oranges, bananas, eggs, link sausages, milk, orange juice, sugar, bread, frozen hamburgers, hot dogs, macaroni, canned cheddar cheese, American cheese, hamburger, ketchup, brown sugar, hot dog buns, hamburger buns, plain chips, Doritos and cheese curls. For more information or to donate, contact Pastor Wilda Brown at (814) 948-5765.

The Christian-based preschool has the following openings: • Pre-K classes for 4-year-olds from 9 to 11:30 a.m. or 12:30 to 3 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays • Toddler Time for 2-year-olds from 9:15 to 11:15 a.m. Mondays and Wednesdays or Tuesdays and Thursdays • Classes for 3-year-olds are currently full, but a waiting list will be compiled for any openings.

A CAMPER climbed a tree with assistance from a professional New York Botanical Garden arborist during summer camp in Bronx, N.Y. 6,000 kids each summer. In addition to camps for younger kids, three Audubon centers offer residential camps for teens and adults. “Just being in nature, smelling the earth, feeling the textures of natural things, is something kids don’t get many chances to do anymore, and it’s so important for development,” he says. “So many children can easily name a hundred brands for commercial goods, but they can’t name a hundred plants in their backyard. In a sense then,

NATURE CAMPS often combine immersion in the outdoors with science education.

Mission trip to the Holy Land The United Methodist Church USA is sponsoring a mission trip to the Holy Land Sept. 12 to 24. This unique mission incorporates volunteering and serving the people who live in the Holy Land while also visiting holy sites. Jan Ogden, of Indiana, is leading the trip. People of all faiths are invited. For more information, contact Jan at jco23@hotmail.com or call (724) 388-5569.

MOST CAMPS are geared toward elementary and middle-school-aged children. they are aliens in their own homes. “Even their teachers often don’t know an oak from a maple tree. So where are they going to learn all that if they don’t go to nature camp?” While most camps are geared toward elementary and middle-school-age children, some nature centers and botanic gardens now offer day camps for kids as young as 4, says Patricia Hulse, director of the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden, part of the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx. Despite the garden’s expanded number of day camps, registration generally fills up within about a month of opening. Experiences include climbing trees and wading into ponds. At the Ladew Topiary Gardens in Monkton, Md., camps include outdoor exploration, science and engineering experiments, art projects, stories, physical activities and puppet shows, says Sheryl Pedrick, education director at the gardens. At the Audubon Center in Maitlin, Goldman says, “the

kids take turns guiding us back to camp through the woods. We track animals, say a raccoon or a coyote. And when you see some coyote scat on the ground, the kids go wild. Then you mash it around a little and see berries, and maybe some fur, and the kids think about it and realize that means the animals are omnivores.” “I’m sometimes as blown away by the kids as they are by nature,” he adds, describing a 10-year-old girl who once came to him with 10 snakes in each hand. “She was a real biologist, full of passion and courage. She not only knew how to identify non-poisonous snakes, but she knew just where to find so many of them. And she learned those things by going to nature camp.” Some skills learned at nature camps can be lifesaving, as well as lifechanging. “Knowing how to make pine needle soup, how to identify plants and animals with accuracy, could in some situations be crucial to survival,” Goldman says. “Plus, learning about them is so much fun.”

Maroon 5 cancels N.C. concerts By The Associated Press RALEIGH, N.C. — The pop group Maroon 5 on Friday joined the list of entertainers canceling appearances in North Carolina because of its law that denies anti-discrimination protections and dictates which restrooms transgender people can use. “This was a difficult decision for us to make as a band. We don’t want to penalize our fans in North Carolina by not performing for them, but in the end it comes down to what we feel is morally right,” the group said on its website. The band led by Adam

Levine, who doubles as a celebrity musician-coach on NBC’s “The Voice,” won’t appear Sept. 11 at Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte or Sept. 12 at PNC Arena in Raleigh. A spokesman for Republican Gov. Pat McCrory in his race against Democratic Attorney General Roy Cooper, who opposes the law, responded by email. Spokesman Ricky Diaz said hundreds of performances, including one by Beyoncé, have taken place in North Carolina since the law passed in March. Maroon 5 is only hurting its fans by “hypocritically targeting North Carolina for selective outrage,” noting

that the group has not canceled a concert in Russia. Beyoncé did perform at N.C. State University in Raleigh, but only after she promoted the efforts of those trying to get the law reversed. She posted an image of herself wearing Equality NC’s “Y’all Means All” T-shirt and posted a statement supporting equality and encouraging donations to the group. “We think it is important for us to bring attention to those who are committed to being good and carrying on the message of equality in this core of controversy,” her statement read. ❏❏❏ BOSTON — The custom-

made guitar punk rocker Johnny Ramone traded to a friend more than three decades ago is back in the loving arms of his family. Boston-based RR Auction says the Hamer guitar used extensively for three years during live performances and designed for Ramone’s unique playing style sold at auction this week to his widow, Linda Ramone, for more than $55,000. She plans to have it added to the Grammy Museum’s Ramones exhibit. The guitar was one of about 500 items sold at the Marvels of Modern Music auction.

TODAY IN HISTORY By The Associated Press

Today is Saturday, May 21, the 142nd day of 2016. There are 224 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 21, 1927, Charles A. Lindbergh landed his Spirit of St. Louis monoplane near Paris, completing the first solo airplane flight across the Atlantic Ocean in 33½ hours. On this date: In 1471, King Henry VI of England died in the Tower of London at age 49. In 1542, Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto died while searching for gold along the Mississippi River. In 1881, Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross. In 1892, the opera “Pagliacci,” by Ruggero Leoncavallo, premiered in Milan, Italy. In 1924, in a case that drew much notoriety, 14-year-old Bobby Franks was murdered in a “thrill killing” carried out by University of Chicago students Nathan Leopold Jr. and Richard Loeb (Bobby’s cousin). In 1932, Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean as she landed in Northern Ireland, about 15 hours after leaving Newfoundland. In 1941, a German U-boat sank the American merchant steamship SS Robin Moor in the South Atlantic after the ship’s passengers and crew were allowed to board lifeboats. In 1945, actors Humphrey Bogart, 45, and Lauren Bacall, 20, were married at Malabar Farm in Lucas, Ohio (it was his fourth marriage, her first,

and would last until Bogart’s death in 1957). In 1959, the musical “Gypsy,” inspired by the life of stripper Gypsy Rose Lee, opened on Broadway with Ethel Merman starring as Mama Rose. In 1972, Michelangelo’s Pieta, on display at the Vatican, was damaged by a hammer-wielding man who shouted he was Jesus Christ. In 1982, during the Falklands War, British amphibious forces landed on the beach at San Carlos Bay. In 1991, former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated during national elections by a suicide bomber. Ten years ago: Iraq’s new prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, promised to use “maximum force” if necessary to end the brutal insurgent and sectarian violence racking his country. Anthony Bell of Baton Rouge, La., was charged with shooting to death his wife and four of her relatives. (Bell was later convicted of murder and sentenced to death.) Katherine Dunham, a pioneering dancer, author and civil rights activist, died in New York City at age 96. Grand Ole Opry legend Billy Walker died in a traffic accident along an Alabama interstate highway; he was 77. Five years ago: The apocalypse did not arrive, despite the prophecy of 89-year-old Christian broadcast group operator Harold Camping, who had been predicting the rolling global destruction of Judgment Day for years. Shackleford won the Preak-

ness, holding off a late charge from Kentucky Derby-winner Animal Kingdom to win as a 12-1 underdog. One year ago: Four Malaysian navy ships began searching for stranded boat people in the first official rescue operation since desperate migrants started washing up on Southeast Asia’s shores. The Family Research Council said it had accepted the resignation of Josh Duggar in the wake of the reality TV star’s apology for unspecified bad behavior as a young teen. (Duggar later admitted molesting five underage girls as a teenager, including two of his sisters, cheating on his wife and being addicted to pornography; those revelations led to the cancellation of the TLC show “19 Kids and Counting.”) Today’s Birthdays: Rhythm-andblues singer Ron Isley (The Isley Brothers) is 75. Rock musician Hilton Valentine (The Animals) is 73. Actor Richard Hatch is 71. Musician Bill Champlin is 69. Singer Leo Sayer is 68. Actress Carol Potter is 68. Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., is 65.

HOW DOES HE GO BACK AND FORTH? Glenn Close said, “I love the chemistry that can be created on stage between the actors and the audience. It’s molecular even, the energies that can go back and forth.” I like to sit in the front row of a theater to experience the chemistry between the actors. In bridge, declarers need to concentrate on going back and forth between their hand and the board. How is that important in this deal? South is in four spades. How should he play after West leads the heart queen? As a secondary issue, what was West’s

better opening lead? In the auction, East was tempted to intervene with two no-trump to show at least 5-5 in the minors, but the vulnerability was unfavorable, his hand was not that good, and the opponents owned the spade suit. (Note that five diamonds doubled costs 800 if South gets a club ruff.) South should play to ruff his diamond losers on the board. But where should he take the first trick? Suppose the play starts heart queen to the ace, diamond ace, diamond ruff. What happens next? Declarer can play a club, but East can win and shift to his trump. South must take the first trick on the board, play a diamond to his ace, ruff a diamond, lead a heart to his ace, ruff his second diamond, and run the spade jack. Then everything is under control. If West leads the club six, and East shifts to a spade, that defeats the contract. If South wins with his spade ace and ruffs both diamond losers, he will eventually concede two spades, one heart and one club. COPYRIGHT: 2016, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE
