Paper: Pa. pays 3,579 at least $100,000 The Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Two dozen state employees earn $200,000 or more and are among nearly 3,600 state workers paid at least $100,000 per year, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. The paper cited an analysis of payroll records from the three branches of government and various commissions and agencies. The Internal Revenue Service says only 2.7 percent of people filing taxes in the commonwealth reported incomes of $200,000 or more in 2008, the latest year available. Figures from the state Department of Labor and Industry indicate that 7.4 percent of working Pennsylvanians made $100,000 or more between 2007 and 2009. The average salary in all sectors in 2009 was $44,436. The records indicate that the highest-paid state employee, Chancellor John Cavanaugh of the State System of Higher Education, makes $327,500. System spokesman Kenn Marshall said Cavanaugh, who proposed freezing management salaries this year, would not comment on his pay. But he noted the salary has not changed since Cavanaugh was named chancellor in July 2008, and his salary and those of the university presidents are below the national average in the Chronicle of Higher Education’s most recent annual survey. Second-highest is James Preston, president and CEO of the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency, or See SALARIES, Page 12A

Al Groh proud as event is still free, has same concept By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

From Thursday through Sunday, the Fine Arts Fiesta will again grace Public Square with performances, music, art and food. There is no charge to watch the performances. Groh, who recently turned 90, smiles when he talks about his “baby” – the Fiesta - which was known as the United Nationalities Pageant in the years before the event moved to Public Square in 1955 and assumed its current name. It was the brainchild of Groh, and he credits two others for playing vital roles in the Fiesta’s beginning – Annette Evans and Dr. Eugene Farley, both deceased. See GROH, Page 12A

KROTZ SPRINGS, La. — Deputies warned people Sunday to get out as Mississippi River water gushing from a floodgate for the first time in four decades crept ever closer to communities in Louisiana Cajun country, slowly filling a river basin like a giant bathtub. Most residents heeded the “Nobody warnings and headed for higher ground, even in places knows where there hasn’t been so what’s gomuch as a trickle, hopeful that the flooding engineered to pro- ing to haptect New Orleans and Baton pen.” Rouge would be merciful to Glenda Maddox their way of life. Melville, La. Days ago, many of the towns known for their Cajun culture and drawling dialect fluttered with activity as people filled sandbags and cleared out belongings. By Sunday, some areas were virtually empty as the water from the Mississippi River, swollen by snowmelt and heavy rains, slowly rolled across the Atchafalaya River basin. It first started to come, in small amounts, into people’s yards in Melville on Sunday. But it still had yet to move farther downstream. The floodwaters could reach depths of 20 feet in the coming weeks, though levels were nowhere close to that yet. The spillway’s opening diverted water from heavily populated New Orleans and Baton Rouge — along with chemical plants and oil refineries along the Mississippi’s lower reaches — easing pressure on the levees there in the hope of avoiding potentially catastrophic floods.

Former judge hopefuls sit out the race Ten candidates who ran in 2009 chose not to seek election in primary. By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

Candidates for Luzerne County judge have nearly a 50-50 shot of winning a seat on the county bench in November, the best odds of winning a jurist’s seat in recent history. Yet some of those who sought the position in 2009, the last judicial election,

when the odds were stacked much more heavily against them, declined to run again this election. Seventeen attorneys ran for two open seats in 2009, one more than are seeking the six slots open this year. Five candidates in 2009 – Joseph F. Sklarosky Jr., Jennifer Rogers, Molly Hanlon Mirobito, Michael Blazick and Richard Hughes – also threw their hats in this year, leaving 10 who not seeking a

KINGSTON -- About 56 years ago, a Wilkes College professor had an idea. Al Groh wanted to bring an event to Public Square that would showcase the artistic talents of the people of Wyoming Valley and allow the community to recognize those talents. The event became the Fine Arts Fiesta.

‘Thor’ stays at top for second week By DERRIK J. LANG AP Entertainment Writer

LOS ANGELES — “Thor” nailed down the No. 1 spot at the box office again. Paramount’s 3-D superhero film starring Chris Hemsworth as Marvel’s hammer-toting god of thunder earned $34.5 million in its second weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. That brings the total haul of “Thor” to $119.2 million, though not quite as impressive as fellow

Universal’s “Bridesmaids,” the raunchy comedy starring Kristen Wiig as a down-on-her-luck maid of honor, debuted above expectations in second place with $24.4 million.

Emergency personnel and state police responded to a two-vehicle crash involving fatalities along state Route 118 near Ricketts Glen State Park in Fairmount Township around 7:30 p.m. Sunday. Officials on the scene would not release the number of people killed in the two-vehicle wreck involving a Volkswagen sedan and a Chevrolet SUV. A medical helicopter was also called in. The two vehicles came to rest side by side off the eastbound lane of the highway. The car sustained heavy damage to the passenger side. Police and emergency responders draped a tarp over the car, which usually indicates that occupants have been killed. Luzerne County Coroner John Corcoran said next of kin would have to be notified and he could not provide any details as of press time. A state trooper said details of the crash, including the total number of people involved, would be released at a later time. The roadway had been shut down for several hours after the crash and was reopened shortly after 11 p.m.

Sully Erna steps out of comfort zone Godsmack singer performs at Kirby Center in support of his first solo album. R E V I E W By BRAD PATTON For The Times Leader

You have to give Godsmack singer Sully Erna credit – when he does a solo project, he really steps out of his comfort zone. Touring in support of his firstever solo album, Erna brought his “Avalon” tour to the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts on Saturday. Anyone expecting Godsmack, his highly successful hard rock group, or even an acoustic evening of Godsmack tunes, would have been disappointed. But what the small crowd at the Kirby got Saturday was an enjoyable evening of trance-like, Middle Eastern-flavored music played by an eight-piece band complete with two drummers, a cellist, two guitarists and two superb vocalists. It’s hard to believe the songs of “Avalon,” which was played in its entirety on Saturday at only the second show of Erna’s solo tour, were written and recorded over a seven-year period as they all sounded and felt like one piece of music. Some might say the sound was a little too similar for much of the evening, but Erna knows this collection of tunes is best experienced from start to finish, and

that’s exactly what his solo shows are all about. The co-star for many of the songs was vocalist Lisa Guyer, whom Erna called his “female musical soul mate.” Guyer’s contributions were excellent throughout the evening, and she shone particularly brightly on her lead-vocal spotlight “The Rise.” Erna played bongos, piano or acoustic guitar on more than half of the evening’s tunes, highlighted by his piano work on “Broken Road” and his piano duet with cellist Irina Chirkova on “Until Then.” Perhaps not wanting to break the mood, Erna did not say one word to the audience for the enti-

rety of the “Avalon” album, rather content to let the music do the talking for him. When the band finished the last song, “7 Years,” he uttered a simple “thank you” and left the stage. He then returned to the stage for a solo, acoustic version of Godsmack favorite “Serenity” and a full-band medley of Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain” and The Beatles’ “Hey Jude.” “I thank you so much for coming out tonight and experiencing this with us,” he said prior to the last song. “I hope you will think about music just a little bit differently after tonight.” Mission accomplished, Mr. Erna.

Its primary focus today is the prevention of premature birth and the provision of aid to children and families who are affected by it. The funding that March of Dimes receives for the event comes from a combination of donations from corporate partners, such as Geisinger Health System and the money raised by volunteer teams, usually family members and friends of children affected by premature birth. Last year the charity walk raised approximately $150,000. This year, the organization anticipates netting more than $170,000.

SCRANTON -- With white coats draped over their arms, the 64 students of the charter class of 2013 at The Commonwealth Medical College walked into the Mellow Theater at Lackawanna College, and later came out wearing those coats, one step closer to realizing their

goal of becoming physicians. The White Coat Ceremony, held Sunday, is a rite of passage for third-year medical students. It marks the transition from the basic sciences portion of their education to hands-on clinical care. “We’re not classroom students anymore,” said Charles Karcutskie, 25, of West Wyom-

Trucksville church has 2 reasons to celebrate Renovated sanctuary rededicated and 100th anniversary of building marked. By JERRY LYNOTT jlynott@timesleader.com

KINGSTON TWP. – They built it. They have been coming for more than a century and Sunday the congregation of the Trucksville United Methodist Church celebrated another milestone in its long history. The church dedicated its refurbished sanctuary in the same building where services have been held since 1911. “It just timed perfectly with the 100th anniversary,” said Jill Kryston, a member of the refurbishing committee. For quite some time, the church wanted to put in new carpeting, redo the pews, repaint and modernize the sanctuary with audio/visual equipment, but lacked the money to undertake such a large project. A $60,000 gift from the estate of Dr. Richard C. Post took care of the funding issue and from there the church went to work. The overall cost neared $65,000, said Wayne Long, another committee member. “There were quite a few things done by the congregation.” People polished brass, contributed radiator covers and provided doors, he said.

She confronted him and he ran towards her with a knife and attempted to grab her, police said. The woman was not injured, but the man fled out the front door into a nearby cemetery. Police said they were unable to locate the man, who was described as white, wearing a black ski mask, a blue nylon jacket and blue jeans.

The union says workers voted overwhelmingly late last year for such a “closed shop,” which would require all service workers, including technicians, maintenance workers and aides, to become duespaying union members as a requirement of their employment. The Pocono Record says medical center officials have said the union should be an “open shop” and allow employees to opt out if they choose. From The Associated Press

IMF head is picked out of lineup

Police say hotel maid accused Dominique Strauss-Kahn of sexual assault in his hotel room. By COLLEEN LONG and ANGELA CHARLTON Associated Press

Japan still deals with tsunami cleanup

NEW YORK — Dominique StraussKahn’s reputation with women earned him the nickname "the great seducer," and not even an affair with a subordinate could knock the International Monetary Fund leader off a political path pointed in the direction of the French presidency. All that changed with charges that he sexually assaulted a maid in his hotel room, a case that gen-

erated shock and revulsion, especially in his home country. Police said the maid picked StraussKahn out of a lineup. Unless the charges are quickly dropped, they could destroy his chances in a presidential race that is just starting to heat up. An arraignment expected Sunday night was postponed until today. Strauss-Kahn’s lawyer William Taylor said testing for evidence delayed the arraignment. “Our client willingly consented to a scientific and forensic examination,” Taylor said. Strauss-Kahn is “tired, but he’s fine.” The IMF, which plays a key role in efforts to control the European debt crisis, named an acting leader and said it

remains “fully functioning and operational” despite Saturday’s arrest of its managing director. A second lawyer for Strauss-Kahn, Benjamin Brafman, said his client will

plead not guilty. He and another lawyer went in and out of the Harlem police precinct where Strauss-Kahn was being held Sunday afternoon, and declined to answer reporters’ questions until the arraignment. A somber-looking StraussKahn was later escorted out of the precinct, his arms behind his back. “He intends to vigorously defend these charges and he denies any wrongdoing,” Brafman said Sunday night. Brafman is one of the city’s most highprofile defense attorneys. Strauss-Kahn, 62, was arrested less than four hours after the alleged assault, plucked from first class on a Parisbound Air France flight that was just about to leave the gate at John F. Kennedy International Airport.

TRIPOLI, LIBYA

NATO blasts oil terminal

ATO aircraft blasted an oil terminal in a key eastern city at nightfall N Sunday, Libyan TV reported, after Britain urged the alliance to widen its assault on areas controlled by ruler Moammar Gadhafi. The Libya TV report said the bombs hit methanol tanks at the oil port of Ras Lanouf, causing leaks. NATO officials had no immediate comment. The reported attack came as the Libyan conflict appeared largely stalemated, with each side claiming gains one day, only to be turned back the next. Libyan rebels said Sunday they have taken full control of the western port city of Misrata, 125 miles from Tripoli, the only major city in western Libya with a significant rebel toehold. The rebel claim could not be confirmed.

Germans note beatification

Germans in Pope Benedict XVI’s home state of Bavaria celebrated Sunday the beatification ceremony of a priest who was honored for practicing his Roman Catholic faith in defiance of the Nazis. The pope, who grew up in Bavaria, sent Cardinal Angelo Amato from the Vatican to celebrate the beatification Mass for Georg Haefner in Wuerzburg Cathedral, the DAPD news agency reported. During his traditional Sunday greetings to pilgrims in St. Peter’s Square, the pope, who grew up in Bavaria and was forced by the Nazis to serve as a teen in the Hitler Youth, praised Haefner. Haefner died of hunger and disease in Dachau concentration camp in 1942. ASHEVILLE, N.C.

Graham home from hospital

The Rev. Billy Graham was back at his North Carolina home Sunday after being hospitalized for five days with pneumonia. Graham’s doctors at Mission Hospital in Asheville said the 92-year-old evangelist had responded well to treatment and regained strength. “We expect continuing recuperation at home with very gradual recovery, returning to normal activities over several weeks,” Dr. Lucian Rice, Graham’s primary care physician, said in a news release from the hospital. “I’m delighted that he has come back this fast.” Graham was able to continue his routine while in the hospital, having his weekly Bible study and prayer with his pastor, but was glad to be home, his spokesman A. Larry Ross said. CAIRO

Leader wants end to sit-in

Egypt’s top Christian leader called on his followers Sunday to end a weeklong sit-in in front of a government building on the Nile after a mob attacked the Christian protesters and their supporters, injuring 78. The sit-in aimed to draw attention to the plight of Christians, who have been the target of several attacks by Muslim fundamentalists in the weeks since Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was forced from office by a popular uprising. The head of Egypt’s Coptic Orthodox Church, Pope Shenouda III, said in a statement that outsiders have infiltrated the sit-in of largely Christian demonstrators, making the situation even more explosive.

Giffords will watch Endeavour’s final flight NASA is expecting slightly smaller crowds for the second attempt. By SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — With wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords on hand to watch, the space shuttle Endeavour is poised to give the work week a roaring and historic start this morning, overcoming wiring problems that grounded it last month. Giffords’ arrival Sunday afternoon included a quick fly-by

of Endeavour on the launch pad, ready to go. “Gabrielle is excited for tomorrow’s launch. Do you plan to see history in the making?” her staff tweeted: NASA officials said conditions — from weather to technical issues — couldn’t look much better for the scheduled 8:56 a.m. launch. Giffords, traveling on a NASA jet with the family of pilot Gregory Johnson, arrived shortly after the protective structure that surrounds Endeavour was moved out of the way — a milestone in launch preparations that allows fuel-

Over the years, al-Qaida has mastered the Internet By SEBASTIAN ABBOT Associated Press

ISLAMABAD — Osama bin Laden cut himself off from direct access to the Internet during his final years in Pakistan as he attempted to elude the CIA. But the terror group he founded has been able to seize the power of the Web to spawn an army of online followers who will prolong al-Qaida’s war against the West long after his demise. Al-Qaida’s technological evolution illustrates how much the group has changed since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and why it has flourished despite America’s decade-long quest to crush it. The U.S. scored its biggest victory in that war on May 2, when U.S. Navy SEALs shot and killed bin Laden during a daring late-night helicopter

raid not far from Pakistan’s capital. His death was undoubtedly a blow to al-Qaida, but the group’s diffuse, virtual network lives on in militant chatrooms and on social media sites like Facebook and YouTube, where supporters carry forward bin Laden’s message and plan the kind of bloody attacks that were his hallmark. Unlike its Afghan Taliban allies, who banned television when they were in power, alQaida has never rejected modern technology and recognized the importance of an online presence before Sept. 11. But its early efforts were fairly rudimentary. Since then, the group and its affiliates have exploited the Internet to rally and connect supporters, and are very quick to adopt new technology.

ing to begin late Sunday night. NASA was so ready to get the flight off the ground that they moved the protective scaffolding 15 minutes earlier than planned. There was only a 30 percent chance of a weather delay, mostly because of crosswinds. The conditions were far different from last month’s futile launch attempt. The protective cover wasn’t removed for five hours because of storms, and the launch was scrubbed because of an electrical problem. NASA is expecting slightly smaller crowds — 400,000

people instead of 750,000 people — for the second attempt. The media horde is also slightly thinned — even though the April attempt was on the same day as the royal wedding — but includes television anchors such as Katie Couric of CBS, said NASA spokesman Bob Jacobs. With the story of Giffords remarkable recovery from the January shooting having been the focus of media attention in April, now more people are paying attention to the other parts of Endeavour’s planned 16-day mission. The shuttle’s main goal is to haul a $2 billion

astronomy and physics experiment to the international space station. This is also the next to last flight for the 30-year-old space shuttle fleet. And it is the final flight of the shuttle Endeavour, NASA’s youngest orbiter, which has flown 116.4 million miles in 24 previous flights. Giffords was wounded in the head in mass shooting in January that killed six people. Doctors have cleared her to travel to see the launch. She came for the April attempt, flew back to Houston to resume her rehabilitation work and even had dinner out with her husband.

Arabs protest near Israel’s borders By ARON HELLER Associated Press

MAJDAL SHAMS, Golan Heights — Mobilized by calls on Facebook, thousands of Arab protesters marched on Israel’s borders with Syria, Lebanon and Gaza on Sunday in an unprecedented wave of demonstrations, sparking clashes that left at least 15 people dead in an annual Palestinian mourning ritual marking the anniversary of Israel’s birth. In a surprising turn of events, hundreds of Palestinians and supporters poured across the Syrian frontier and staged riots, drawing Israeli accusations that Damascus, and its ally Iran, orchestrated the unrest to shift attention from an uprising back home. It was a rare incursion from the usually tightly controlled Syrian side and could upset the delicate balance between the two longtime foes.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who heads to Washington at the end of the week, said he ordered the military to act with “maximum restraint” but vowed a tough response to further provocations. The violence showed Israel the extent of Arab anger over

the Palestinian issue, beyond the residents of the West Bank and Gaza, and came at a critical time for U.S. Mideast policy. President Barack Obama’s envoy to the region, George Mitchell, resigned Friday after more than two years of fruitless efforts.

Canadian drug dealers exploit tiny airports

Beefed-up enforcement along the Mexican border has made smuggling more challenging. By ED WHITE Associated Press

SANDUSKY, Mich. — A Cessna airplane touched down about midnight, dropped a load of drugs and was back in the air in 90 seconds. Suddenly, the pilot of a U.S. border patrol helicopter hovering nearby turned on a powerful spotlight and tracked an SUV fleeing with hockey bags stuffed with 175 pounds of marijuana and 400,000 Ecstasy-type pills. The bust by federal agents didn’t happen on the southwestern border. It was in Michigan’s rural Thumb region next to a soybean field. The remote airport here in Sandusky offers a smooth runway at any hour to anyone who needs it, a perfect landing for brazen drug smugglers who can cross the Great Lakes from Canada in minutes. Beefed-up enforcement along the Mexican border has made smuggling more challenging for criminal cartels using the major southern routes, but drugs continue to flow across the porous northern border through airstrips like this one as officials look for new ways to fight back. Tracking rogue planes at low altitude with their transponders off is “like trying to pick a needle out of a haystack,” said John Beutlich of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, who oversees air and marine operations from Washington state to Maine. Tiny airports feel helpless.

Joe Allen, manager of the Sandusky, Mich., airport stands near a runway at in April. U.S. border authorities gave him the sign.

“Shoot, we’re just a big cherry to pick and didn’t realize it,” said Joe Allen, manager of the Sandusky airport, 90 miles northeast of Detroit. He installed a fence to keep cars from meeting planes at the runway, but the property is not staffed at night. Border agents could offer just two signs asking people to call an 800 number if they see something unusual. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says the U.S.

hopes to start tapping into 22 Canadian radars to fill surveillance gaps on the border. Officials say the U.S. has one national radar network made up of feeds from the Federal Aviation Administration and the Defense Department. Border authorities also conduct routine air patrols, but some lawmakers would like military-grade radar along with drones that could detect small aircraft.

“All everybody wants to talk about are drug cartels coming across the southern border. I don’t mean to diminish that but the northern border has gotten very little attention up until recently,” said U.S. Rep. Candice Miller, R-Mich., a senior member of the House Homeland Security Committee. A new law requires the Obama administration to come up with an anti-drug strategy on the U.S.Canada border by summer. Canada is a significant source of high-quality marijuana and the amphetamine Ecstasy. More than 2 million doses of Ecstasy were seized on the northern border in 2009 compared to just 312,000 in 2004, the Drug Enforcement Administration said, offering a snapshot of what’s popular and what gets confiscated. Most shipments come by road. But the 2009 flight from Ontario to Michigan, the subject of a recent federal trial, provided insight into drug operations that use small planes. Officials don’t know how frequent such flights are but consider the vulnerability alarming. Matthew Moody and nephew Jesse Rusenstrom, both from Amherstburg, Ontario, were the couriers captured that night in Sandusky. Their job was to enter the country through Detroit, meet the Canadian plane and deliver the drugs to others in the U.S. They also put 60 pounds of cocaine worth more than

$500,000 on the return flight to Guelph, Ontario. It was just one in a series of shipments. Rusenstrom said he met the drug plane at least 10 times at other tiny airports in the Thumb region — Marlette, Ray, Lapeer — as well as in Greenville in western Michigan and an airport in Pennsylvania. The pilot activated runway lights from the cockpit, a standard practice in aviation. Rusenstrom, testifying at the trial of an accomplice, Robert “Romeo” D’Leone, said hundreds of airports were studied on Google Maps. “We would go around looking for airports, seeing if there was fences or cameras,” the 21-yearold told jurors. D’Leone, who lives in the Toronto area, stopped his trial and pleaded guilty on April 14. Rusenstrom and Moody cooperated, pleaded guilty and were recently sentenced to time served in custody. The U.S. still wants to extradite four others in Ontario who are accused of major roles, including the pilot. Some jurors were alarmed by the revelations during the D’Leone trial. “You always hear Homeland Security has an eye on everything. It’s surprising that airfields aren’t manned 24 hours,” Robert Simpson, 47, told The Associated Press. The Sandusky airport has spent $2,000 on cameras and hopes to install more.

Ex-head of Nathan’s hot dogs is dead By MATT SEDENSKY Associated Press

MIAMI — Murray Handwerker, who helped grow Nathan’s Famous from his father’s Coney Island hot dog stand into a national franchise, died Saturday at his home in Palm Beach Gardens. He was 89. His son, Bill, said his father had suffered from dementia and died in his sleep. Handwerker’s father Nathan opened the Coney Island stand in 1916, four years after emigrating from Poland. Murray was born five years later, on July 25, 1921, and spent so much time in the restaurant he said he came to regard the frankfurter bun boxes as his playpen. Murray went on to work in nearly every aspect of the business, from stacking pallets of hot dogs to manning the grill. Seeing the appeal Nathan’s had, Handwerker returned from Army service in World War II with a broader worldview and new ideas on expanding the business his father always thought would be a single stand. Nathan’s eventually became a fixture. Its hot dogs were served to the British monarchy by President Franklin D. Roosevelt; were a constant magnet for mobster Al Capone and were even flown to a London party for Barbra Streisand.

Raymond James Daring May 12, 2011 aymond James Daring, 84, of Dallas, passed away Thursday, R May 12, 2011, at his residence after a

courageous battle with cancer. Born in Wilkes-Barre, he was the second son of the late Arthur W. Daring and Gertrude Bruggeman Lenzi. He attended Hanover High School and Wilkes College. A U.S. Navy veteran, Raymond served his country during World War II on the USS Sigourney in the South Pacific.

He was a former president of Wyoming Valley Distributing Co., a former member of the Dallas School Authority, and formerly served on the board of the Wyoming National Bank.

atthew Stephen Peter Chipolis, M19, of Harding, was released to

God Friday, May 13, 2011, after suffering injuries from a motorcycle accident. Born in Kingston, on April 9, 1992, he was a beloved son of Stephen and Gina Romani Chipolis, Harding. Matthew was an active and committed member of the Corpus Christi Parish, Church of the Holy Redeemer, Harding. There, he had served as an altar server and participated in the Living Stations. He graduated from Wyoming Area High School, class of 2010, and was attending Luzerne County Community College, where he was studying electrical engineering. Matthew enjoyed playing football since he was a young boy, and was a proud member of the Wyoming Area Warrior Football Team, wearing number 26. He was a versatile player, often positioned as a fullback or nose guard, but could also be counted on as a linebacker. He enjoyed hunting and fishing. His dad was his hunting partner, and he and his younger brother, Christopher, shared many family memories of summer vacations fishing and tubing at his grandpa and grandma Chipolis’ cottage on Black Lake. Matthew was a kind, caring and giving young man, and appreciated family. He was about to take on the role of fatherhood himself, before his young life was cut short. The name Matthew means Gift of God, and to his parents he was just that, a Gift of God. As a final gesture of his giving and loving nature, Matthew made a selfless decision and passed on God’s Gift by being an organ donor through the Gift of Life Organization. Because of this, five individuals received transplants. Matthew’s heart, both lungs, his liver, pancreas, and both kidneys were donated to local patients waiting for the life-saving gift of an organ. Matthew’s corneas will also help two people regain their sight. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Peter J. Ro-

mani. In addition to his parents, Matthew is survived by his beloved brother, Christopher, at home; fiancée, Cathryn Glycenfer; paternal grandparents, Robert, and Mary Chipolis, Duryea; maternal grandmother, Regina Romani, West Wyoming; aunts and uncles, Joseph, and Joyce Chipolis, and children, Emily, and Jacob, Laceyville, Pa.; Joseph, and Diane Romani, WilkesBarre; Leonard, and Mary Romani Sklaney, and children, Leonard, and Rachel Sklaney; John, and Christine Gavigan Romani, and children, Anneliese, Isabella, and Tessa Romani, Harding; Anthony Romani, and companion, Roseann; John, and Doreen Romani Marianacci, and children, Maria, and John Joseph, Wyoming; and cousin, Jeremy Romani, Wilkes-Barre. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 9:30 a.m. Thursday in Corpus Christi Parish, Church of the Holy Redeemer, Harding. Those attending the funeral Mass are asked to go directly to the church on Thursday morning. Interment will be at the convenience of the family. Friends may call from 4 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at the Peter J. Adonizio Funeral Home, 802 Susquehanna Avenue, West Pittston. Donations in Matthew’s memory, to be used for his child‘s future needs, will be accepted at the Funeral Home and may be made to Matthew’s father, Stephen Chipolis.

Volunteers sift through junk donations

Potential Mars landing sites are narrowed to 4

Alabama tornado victims still need cleaning supplies or cash, relief agencies say.

Location key when it comes to search for conditions favorable for microbial life.

Volunteers sort through clothing at a warehouse full of donated goods for tornado victims in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Agencies are still encouraging people to send items like cleaning supplies or cash.

their homes. In the central Alabama town of Eclectic, Mayor Helen Rowe has put out the word: No more clothing donations. As for the Salvation Army, Jones said the agency only recently found warehouse space in hardhit Tuscaloosa and still desperately needs new underwear, nonperishable foods, pet food and sports drinks. It’s still searching for more storage space for things that won’t be used right away. Dozens of tornadoes whipped across the South on April 27, killing people across seven states and injuring hundreds more as entire communities were leveled. Donated water and food started arriving within hours in some towns; relief sites sprang up on street corners and in parking lots. Temporary Emergency Services of Tuscaloosa County already has 10 warehouses full of donations, but too many of those items are broken toys, dirty stuffed animals and used underwear that has to be thrown in the trash, said

twisters. Vivian Gordon, whose apartment was destroyed by the twister that killed dozens in Tuscaloosa, has survived with the help of relatives, friends and even a stranger who picked her up on the roadside after the storm, providing her a place to sleep. Despite her need after losing everything, she has yet to visit a distribution site. Victims had come in droves to such distribution centers for water and hot food in the days after the storm. The lines are nearly nonexistent now, though, as stores that had been without electricity reopen and people find places to stay.

To All Taxpayers, Parents and Students of Greater Nanticoke Area School District My name is Barbara Siergiej Zaborney, a retired teacher with thirty four years of experience and yes, union president for twelve years. During these years my number one priority was the students of Greater Nanticoke Area. On May 10th 2011 in a letter to the editor written by Hank Marks, he stated I was a “Hardliner” for the union. This statement I believe is very true. As president, I fought hard to preserve the integrity of the school district. Our goals were to fight for the best education a school district could provide. As a taxpayer of four properties, a teacher and union president I worked hard to negotiate a fair contract that would benefit all of us. We settled several contracts by taking zero raises, giving up step movement and preserving programs to ensure that the children of Greater Nanticoke Area received the best education possible. The figures that Hank Marks quoted in this editorial are so questionable. The facts and figures are public record and I would invite anyone to check on them to get the truth. It is obvious that Hank Marks must feel that the two candidates for school board that I am supporting must be extremely qualified for those positions since he has the need to attack me to sway your votes away from these candidates. Greater Nanticoke candidates, CHET BEGGS and DAVE HORNLEIN are outstanding and intelligent individuals who are graduates of the district. They and their families are district homeowners and taxpayers. They would certainly take in to account taxpayer concerns in providing quality education for the students of our district. Therefore the choice is obvious! Vote CHET BEGGS and DAVE HORNLEIN for Greater Nanticoke Area School Board.

agency director Karen Thompson. While the warehouse space was also donated, Thompson said storing all that stuff is still costly because the organization must pay liability insurance to cover the operation in case someone is hurt on the job. “We just have so much,” she said. “It’s going to be needed longterm, but a lot of people don’t have a roof over their heads and don’t have anywhere to put things right now.” Canned food and cleaning products are urgently needed, she said, because some private homes have become impromptu shelters as families take care of relatives and friends left homeless by the

LOS ANGELES — After years of poring through images from space and debating where on Mars the next NASA rover should land, it comes down to four choices. Scientists in the close-knit Mars research community get one last chance to make their case this week when they gather before the “judges” — the team running the $2.5 billion mission that will soon suggest a landing site to NASA, the ultimate decider. The stakes are high. Location is everything when it comes to studying whether the red planet ever had conditions that could have been favorable for microbial life. The upside is that all four candidates are relatively free of dangerous boulders and other hazards that would pose a threat to rover Curiosity upon landing. The size of a mini Cooper, Curiosity is scheduled to launch in late November after a two-year delay. With no real engineering showstopper, scientists are haggling over the scientific merits

DEMOCRATS

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Relief officials inundated with donations after the flurry of twisters that killed more than 300 people across the South are sorting through the broken toys and used underwear they don’t need while hunting for places to store mountains of vital supplies like canned food. Across Alabama, agencies are still encouraging people to send items like cleaning supplies for people clearing debris from tornado-damaged homes, or cash donations that can be used to cover operating expenses or handed out to victims. But with storage space scarce, most say they can’t handle any more used toys or cast-off clothing. “That becomes the disaster within the disaster,” said Salvation Army spokesman Mark Jones. “When people make those mass donations ... it causes the community to be overrun with them and have to deal with that in addition to the storm damage.” In a dimly lit warehouse in Tuscaloosa, for instance, donated toys are piled 6 feet high as volunteers sort through hundreds of bags of old clothes. A 3-foot-tall plastic Santa Claus looks over the operation; volunteers say it came in with a load of contributions. At a donation distribution center in the northwest Alabama town of Phil Campbell, volunteer manager Beth Rhea has baby food stacked almost to the ceiling, plenty of water and doesn’t need any more clothes. But she could use some tents and camping gear because some victims are sleeping outside beside the rubble of

of the locations and trying to convince the rest of the tribe why Curiosity should land at their preferred spot. “All four of these places are compelling places on Mars to study. There’s not a loser among them,” said landing site scientist Matt Golombek of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, one of the meeting’s leaders. But like in any contest, there can only be one winner. Here’s a look at the final cut: • Gale crater located near the Martian equator possesses a 3mile-high mound of layered mineral deposits. • Mawrth Vallis is an ancient flood channel in the Martian northern highlands that is rich in clay minerals. • Eberswalde crater in the southern hemisphere contains remnant of a river delta. • Holden crater, close to Eberswalde, is the site of watercarved gullies and sediment. The shortlist was culled from nearly 60 hopefuls in a selection process that began in 2006. Some scientists broke up into teams to pore over close-up images snapped from the eagleeyed Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter for the various locations and presented their findings at meetings. After technical woes pushed back Curiosity’s launch, the community regrouped and considered more places.

Huckabee of choice: ‘My heart says no’

Former Arkansas governor insists he could have captured GOP presidential nomination. By BRADLEY KLAPPER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Mike Huckabee’s decision to forgo a shot at the presidency further muddies the field for a worthy Republican challenger to President Barack Obama, and leaves America’s social conservatives without a clear candidate to throw their support behind. Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor, joins Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, South Dakota Sen. John Thune and Indiana Rep. Mike Pence on the sidelines. His decision underscores that for all of Obama’s vulnerabilities on the economy, taking on his reelection machine and potential $1 billion treasure chest remains a daunting task. The 55-year-old Baptist minister insists that he could have captured the GOP nomination, citing polls that showed he could score strong even in the Northeast and among the less conservative rank-and-file party members. “All the factors say go, but my heart says no,” Huckabee, the winner of the 2008 Iowa caucuses, said Saturday night on his Fox News Channel show. He described the decision as a spiritual one. “Only when I was alone, in quiet and reflective moments, did I have not only clarity but an inexplicable inner peace,” he said. “Being president is a job that takes one to the limit of his or her human capacity. For me, to do it apart from the inner confidence that I was undertaking it without God’s full blessing is simply unthinkable.” The announcement makes an already wide-open Republican field even more unpredictable. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has been making a concerted effort to reach out to the right. Although he’s been noting his recent conversion to Catholicism, he’s hampered by two divorces and an adulterous history. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney must explain his change of heart over the years on positions on guns, gay rights and abortion; health care also is a problem for him. Minnesota’s exgovernor, Tim Pawlenty, has had to apologize for backing climate change legislation. Donald Trump? Highly unlikely. With so many social conservatives looking for a home, the void created by Huckabee’s decision could prompt 2008 vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin or Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann to get in the race. Palin has yet to say if she will run, while Bachmann is inching toward a bid. Several other possible candi-

dates, including Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, are in waiting mode. The lack of a clear GOP front-runner reHuckabee flects Obama’s perceived strength as a candidate less than a year-and-a-half before the election. Despite uneven economic growth and continued sluggishness in the employment market, Obama will have the advantage of being an incumbent president with a seemingly unmatchable capacity to generate cash for his campaign. And while events could change dramatically between now and the presidential vote, polls show Obama in a stronger position now than he was before the mission that killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden. Republican candidates were quick to praise Huckabee after his announcement, making obvious plays for his backers. “His voters are very independent and they’re going to go where they believe that America needs to go both in conservative and spiritual values,” Gingrich said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “Gov. Huckabee is going to remain a very important figure in the conservative movement and I suspect that he’s going to have a role to play for years to come.” Pawlenty said he’d work hard to gain the support of millions of Americans who have backed Huckabee, while former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum praised the TV host for praying before deciding not to run. Santorum added that he wanted to talk with Huckabee about fighting for traditional values even as some Republicans “seek to form a ’truce’ on social issues.” That was a slap at Daniels, who is considering a run and has suggested that Republicans downplay their focus on cultural issues like abortion while the nation’s economy is so fragile. Huckabee praised several potential GOP nominees who, he said, hold points of view similar to his own. A notable omission from the list: Romney. But Huckabee said on “Fox News Sunday.” “… I want to make it very clear today, if Mitt Romney is the nominee for our party, I will support him because I believe that Mitt Romney would be a better president of the United States than Barack Obama on any day.”

Molly’s Open Letter to the Community Hi. I’m Molly Hanlon Mirabito. I believe in the future of Luzerne County and the people who are helping to move us forward. With your help, I can best contribute to this process by running for and serving as judge. I have over 22 years of courtroom experience. In my private practice, I advise and represent families and clients. As an Assistant District Attorney, I prosecute criminals, work with crime victims and their families, and collaborate with law enforcement officers. I am proud to have the endorsements/recommendation of the Luzerne County Chiefs of Police, the Wyoming Valley Fraternal Order of Police, the Hazleton Fraternal Order of Police, and the PSEA. But the focus of this letter is integrity. This term has been used a lot in the election. But how do you define it? What does it mean for the election? I believe your integrity or moral code is a roadmap that defines the way you live. As a judge, it takes on heightened meaning since you are now charged with the public trust. For the past three months, I have used the word integrity extensively in my campaign. But it’s not a word that I just recently discovered. It has been a way of life for as long as I can remember.

It means • • • •

Best, Molly

My word is my bond. I will not sacrifice my values for personal or professional gain. I will not sacrifice my values even if pressured to do so. I will never break the public trust.

If I am fortunate enough to be elected to the office, I will continue to follow these lifelong values and truths. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I ask for your support and vote on May 17.

WORLD OPINION

Greece puts squeeze on fellow Eurozone countries

NE YEAR AGO, the Greek economy was bailed out to the tune of 111 billion euros (about $157.7 billion U.S.). Now the country is back for more. Jean-Claude Juncker, the chairman of the Eurozone finance ministers, said that “Greece needs a further adjustment program.” What he actually meant was that Greece has not taken the hard decisions necessary to convince the markets that it is serious about restoring the integrity of its public finances. Standard and Poor’s, the credit rating agency, cut the country’s bond grade to junk status. Any bailout looks certain to require a contribution from the United Kingdom, even though we are not part of the Eurozone. It will not be the first time we have suffered such unfair treatment, thanks to the last government’s deci-

sion to sign the nation up to the bail-out mechanism. There are now fears that the contagion might spread to Spain, the Eurozone’s fourth largest economy. Were that to happen, it is hard to see the euro surviving in its present form. Indeed, there were rumors – robustly denied – that Greece was considering withdrawal from the single currency to allow it to devalue its way out of trouble. That this was even mooted is significant; it reveals just how nervous the markets are. In reality, it is Germany that will decide Greece’s fate. Germany announced the best export performance in its history, yet it continues to see its exemplary economic discipline being taken advantage of by an indigent Greece. At what point will the German taxpayer decide enough is enough? The Telegraph, London

QUOTE OF THE DAY “I believe continuity and stability at the FBI is critical at this time.” Barack Obama The president wants Congress to extend the 10-year term of FBI Director Robert S. Mueller. Obama recently moved CIA Director Leon Panetta to the Defense Department to replace the retiring Robert Gates, and he brought in Gen. David Petraeus to take over at CIA.

U.S. economy troubling

.S. ECONOMIC and fiscal performance is in freefall. Its superpower status grows ever more shaky. Its public debt is soaring. Its legendary middle class is at risk as the American dream morphs into a nightmare for millions adrift in a sea of mortgage debt and job loss. Yet a decade ago, as the world welcomed a new millennium, “America was the uncontested global superpower – economically, financially, militarily and, to Americans at least, morally,” writes Tom Courchene, an eminent economist and political scientist from Queen’s University, in a major new essay by the Institute for Research on Public Policy.

More relevant than how the United States got into this mess, of course, is the question of what’s next. Can it recover? Or is it doomed to continue its slide? Courchene is gloomy in his analysis, but more optimistic in his forecast – though he stresses a happy outcome will require big changes. The United States could learn from Canadians, who get far better value for their social spending, as it turns to the task of integrating its growing ranks of marginalized workers into the knowledge-intensive economy that, at the moment, provides opportunity only for the elite.

Japan should retool nukes

RIME MINISTER Naoto Kan has urged Chubu Electric Power Co. to shut down its Hamaoka nuclear power plant, which is located above the assumed epicenter area of the massive Tokai earthquake expected in the near future. Now that the Great East Japan Earthquake has triggered an unexpected disaster at Tokyo Electric Power Co.’s Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, it is hard to give the international community a convincing explanation for keeping the Hamaoka plant running. What should be noted here is

that the Fukushima nuclear crisis has shattered the myth of the safety of nuclear power generation. Safety assurances have been replaced by perceptions that the worst nuclear accident in the world could occur in Japan. It is certainly difficult to immediately shut down all nuclear power plants. But the suspension of the Hamaoka plant should be a first step toward a new willingness to close down nuclear power plants when there are enough safety concerns. The Asahi Shimbun, Tokyo

Few will likely benefit from natural gas drilling

he record of natural gas drilling companies is terrible. There have been hundreds of cited violations at their drilling sites. The number of projected wells over the next decade ranges from 100,000 to 300,000. Each of these wells is expected to get six “fracks,” using 24 million gallons of water. Twenty percent of this water comes back to the surface as flow back containing the toxic chemicals used to frack, plus heavy metals, salts and radioactive materials that have been locked deep within the earth. Plus, gas companies have been known to “re-stimulate” wells, which means they frack them a second time, so the amount of flow back could be double the projection. No matter how it’s looked at, huge amounts of toxic material must be disposed of by the industry. Add to this the pollution from tanker trucks needed to carry water and materials to and from the well heads. Penn State University did a study projecting the impact of these heavy tanker trucks on roads, and it determined that one full tanker truck causes the same wear and stress on a road as 9,000 automobiles. It’s no wonder people in the Northern Tier counties are starting to complain about the deterioration of their two-lane, country roads. It’s sad our state has such lax regulations with regard to gas drilling activities. It’s unfortunate how over the next few decades rural Pennsylvania apparently is going to be transformed into a large, industrial complex. The long-term, negative health effects on the population might not be known until a generation has been exposed. Yes, there will be an economic impact on our communities. The big gas companies will make billions of dollars. A few large landowners will become multimillionaires. A few businesses will be successful for awhile, supplying materials and services to the gas companies.

A few will benefit, but all of us will be exposed to the negative consequences now and into the future – long after the drillers have squeezed every bit of gas they can out of the earth and have moved on, just like the coal companies of a hundred years ago. It’s likely they will go unchecked, since our governor’s stated intention is to make Pennsylvania the Texas of gas drilling. Perhaps a good way to start reversing this trend is to replace the governor in a little less than four years. Let’s hope there’s something to save by that time.

And what is in it for the Dallas Township Zoning Board? Only one of its members has any connection to the gas companies. It can let the meetings drag on until the community’s short attention span wanes and people don’t come to meetings and make noise anymore. What is in it for us? Will we get the gas to use for our heat, light, etc., at a fair price? All the signs are that the foreign companies buying into these local drilling operations will export our gas to take care of their needs, not ours. All of which makes me wonder if we really are that stupid. We saw and paid for all that “King Coal” did for us, and now we are sitting back and letting “Master Gas” do it to us again. Or are we? No one will speak for us if we don’t speak for ourselves. Let’s have a moratorium until the gas companies prove that gas extraction can be done safely without destroying the quality of life we enjoy in the Back Mountain today. Let’s not become the “East Coast Texas.” Eleanor Kandler Rodda Shavertown

Didn’t we learn anything Student cites benefits of from reign of King Coal? cutting meat consumption

hen coal was king, mining put boys to work, compelling them to do without schooling and accept possible injury or death for their meager wages. Mine owners made lots of money and “blessed” the communities with culm piles, water pollution and mine subsidence that is taking generations and lots of taxpayer dollars to correct. There was no dollar value placed on the young lives impacted. Today the Marcellus Shale natural gas industry’s “bonanza” is promising megadollars for the natural gas beneath our neighborhoods and farms. It seemingly cares little about pollution of wells, streams, rivers, so long as it simplifies disposal of the fracking fluids that come to the surface when a well is completed. Gee, who does it hurt when a well pad is planted in a residential area? The gas companies are making money, and that is No. 1, isn’t it? Furthermore, who cares if there is a public school campus within shouting distance? Why should the gas companies feel any responsibility for the safety of the 3,000 kids who happen to be in those schools? Nobody seems to put a value on those lives – after all, they are just kids; they don’t produce any dollars, not even as much as those breaker boys did. Do those emergency responders really need to know how to evacuate those kids if the unthinkable were to happen? That couldn’t happen, could it?

have participated in a Penn State University course on sustainability. After participating in activities to understand hot-topic, global matters, I have one general suggestion. I propose to you to reduce your daily and/or weekly consumption of meat products. Much of our population consumes meat from “livestock” agriculture. Farming of animals can directly harm you and also affect us worldwide. Many livestock, as they are raised, are injected with hormones and terrible chemical enhancers. These chemicals are ingested by us when eating meat-based meals. The raising of these animals for their meat uses lots of energy, food and other resources impacting habitats globally. In the process of raising them, we destroy ecosystems and biodiversity. An example is destroying forests. With fewer forests, less carbon dioxide is being removed from the atmosphere, furthering global warming. Decreasing your meat consumption can help to improve your overall health and the health of our planet in the long run. You do not need to radically change your lives, but together small steps can make a great difference. Take into consideration the approximately 6.8 billion humans on Earth, and if even only a quarter of them worked together, we could make immense changes to better our futures.

town of Melville, water was already starting to creep into some people’s backyards. Parts of the town not protected by levees were under a mandatory evacuation order. Glenda Maddox’s husband had temporarily reopened the gas station he closed in December so people could fuel up before they leave. “Nobody knows what’s going to happen,” she said. “We don’t know if the levee is going to hold up.” The station’s shelves were mostly barren, save for a few soft drinks and bottles of motor oil. Only cash was accepted — no credit cards. In Butte LaRose, some 50 miles downstream from where the Morganza spillway was opened, no water was expected until at least later Sunday.

the flood zone. He and his brother were making a few final preparations to protect his home with plastic lining and sandbags. "It’s almost like a ghost town," said Wheat, who was getting some help from his twin brother, Chandler. Sandbags were still available in the center of town, but there were few takers Sunday. Krotz Springs is roughly 30 miles closer to the floodgates, and deputies ordered people to evacuate Sunday morning even though the water hadn’t yet arrived. Wayne Duplechain, who lives in the parish about eight miles outside Krotz Springs, said he would have his family stay in a camper parked on his son’s property outside the flood zone. He hoped to return, though, and ride out the flooding. He has three layers of sandbags stacked 2 feet high surrounding his ranch-style, brick house and figures the water won’t start lapping against them for seven or eight days. Plus, he has a generator and a boat to escape in if the water gets too high. “It’s going to be slow-rising, so

I’ll get out if I have to. I’m not totally stupid,” he said. “If it comes over the sandbags, I’m leaving.” It will be at least a week before the Mississippi River crest arrives at the Morganza spillway, where officials opened two massive gates on Saturday and another two Sunday.

Those earning $100,000 or more included physicians, elected leaders, judges, investment officers, college professors, corrections supervisors and state police sergeants, the paper said. To help address the state’s budget crisis, Gov. Tom Corbett, whose $177,401 salary ranks him 86th on the list, has proposed slashing university spending by 50 percent. His press secretary, Kevin Harley, said the paper’s review “demonstrates that state-supported higher education cannot be the only recession-proof industry

in Pennsylvania.” House Republican Policy Chairman Dave Reed, R-Indiana County, who as a legislative leader makes $90,792, said “everybody focuses on the Legislature” when debating salaries, but executive and judicial salaries not only exceed legislative salaries but also that of the governor. University presidents, professors, administrators and those in the agency overseeing 14 state-owned universities accounted for 1,490 or 42 percent of the 3,579 state employees reported to be making $100,000 or more. Other agencies and institutions with substantial numbers of people making that or more include the judiciary

Officials with the state’s university system concede that faculty members, whose compensation is set through collective bargaining agreements, are well-paid by industry standards. Most of their salaries rank around the 85th percentile when compared to a survey of universities the Chronicle of Higher Education published in April.

professional clients at the same time.” Pendolphi, who finished at the bottom in the 2009 primaries, said he thought his chances would improve this year because he spent money to get his name out in the last election, but he ultimately scrapped his plans because “the stress was just too much.” Tom Marsilio, who finished near the middle of the pack in the 2009 primaries, has run for election for a county position four times in the past – twice for judge and twice for district attorney. Citing money and “political fatigue” as the main factors in his decision, Marsilio said he is withdrawing himself from the world of politics and will not run again.

Marsilio, who practices law in Wilkes-Barre, was critical of the amount of money attorneys have spent seeking the post, and said he takes issue with the whole concept of choosing judges by election. “The electorate, generally speaking, doesn’t have the best perception as to who may be qualified and who may not,” he said. “On the federal side of the house we’ve been appointing judges for 236 years, or thereabouts, and on the federal side of the house I don’t think we’ve had very many Lokutas, Conahans or Ciavarellas, to put it bluntly.” Marsilio referred to former county judges Ann Lokuta, Michael Conahan and Mark Ciavarella, who resigned or were re-

moved amidst allegations of misconduct. Joe Terrana, who practices law in Kingston, said this election falls at a “different time in my career; different time in my life; different time in my family’s life.” Terrana, who finished near the middle of the pack in the 2009 primaries, said the campaign trail didn’t end for him at that election; he also campaigned for former U.S. Rep. Paul E. Kanjorski until November, when the incumbent Democrat lost to Republican Lou Barletta. Now, he said, “I’m very happy sitting on the sidelines these days and that’s how I want to keep it… There are enough guys and ladies in the race that are qualified to do the job.”

“Without the help of friends, family and co-workers, we couldn’t have pulled this off,” said Leo, who turns 47 today. “It’s going to help her tremendously.” Leo commended the dedication of Dr. Kevin Judy, Eileen’s neurosurgeon at Jefferson. “His care was brilliant,” he said. “I have never met a neurosurgeon in a big city like that, that gives you his cell phone number in case you needed him.” Since Eileen’s first diagnosis, life has been a series of ups and downs, said Leo. “The second I wake up in the

morning, it’s the first thing I think about,” he said. “I’m always thinking, ‘Where do I go, what do I do?’” With each diagnosis and subsequent treatment cycles, Leo and other family members alternated driving to Philadelphia to be with Eileen. “It’s just racing against the clock trying to get things done,” he said. “She’s got amazing strength and faith,” said her sister Mary Pat Gill, 47, of Mountain Top. “She’s my idol and hero. She’s fought this disease since her first diagnosis and has never given up.” Corey, who completed his

freshman year at the University of Scranton, said he admires his mom’s strength. “It wasn’t an easy road,” he said of his mother’s surgeries. “She’s been through it three times. I can’t imagine going through it once. “She’s a tough cookie.” Corey said he was overwhelmed by the huge number of supporters who turned out for the event. “She’s always been great to people,” he said. “My parents have always taught me that if you’re good to people, goodness and kindness comes back to you.”

“We thought we had a lot of talent in the area and an audience that could recognize that talent. We had many ethnic groups and we felt it was important to feature them – to keep their traditions alive and to display them to the community,” said Groh last week in his home. Approaching the entrance to Al and Jane Lampe Groh’s home on Pringle Street in Kingston, two things immediately catch the eye – an American flag and a poster for the Fine Arts Fiesta. Groh served in World War II with the 15th Air Force. He flew 50 missions from Italy to Germany, France, Hungary and Yugoslavia. “I wouldn’t recommend it,” he said. “”But it will always be important for us to defend this country.” Looking back at his 56 years of involvement with the Fiesta – and he has been and continues to be involved – Groh says the event continues to exceed his expectations. Brian Benedetti, the Fine Arts Fiesta’s operations manager, said Groh still reviews all minutes of every board meeting and he offers suggestions when he sees fit. “Al Groh has been a constant inspiration to everybody who has ever been involved in any way with the Fine Arts Fiesta at any level,” Benedetti said. “This is his baby, and he has watched it – nurtured it – as it has grown to be an adult. And it is still free to the public and still operates with the same concept.” All of this makes Groh’s smile even more prevalent. He is grateful to all who have worked so hard to continue the Fiesta each year, and he is especially appreciative of the audiences that attend yearly and who support the Fiesta. “I’ve always felt that just by bringing all of these diverse groups together, we are succeeding in our efforts,” Groh said. “To me, it means that this wonderful area we call home can be recog-

He is currently the section chief of general surgery and vice chairman of the Department of Surgery at Mercy Hospital, and serves on the hospital’s Executive Committee. Bannon said the white coat is symbolic of the sister and brotherhood of clinicians. “It is not a shield or barrier to set you apart. It is not a cape that’s symbolic of some superhuman powers. It’s not a pedestal on which you can stand, look down

The church has held a number of dedications on site. There was a devastating fire in 1910 and the church was rebuilt. The new building was dedicated on Jan. 29, 1911, and again on Nov. 13, 1932, after it was renovated. The church predates the building and its beginnings can be traced back 193 years when a Methodist circuit rider ministered to people in the Back Mountain, said Louise Hazeltine, who has kept a history of the church. Hazeltine, 85, grew up in Trucksville, was confirmed at the church, moved out of the area to

nized for being much more than a former mining area. The Fiesta is important because it shows a good way to live. We recognize each ethnic group and we appreciate them all.” And then Groh discussed the weather, which seems to be an annual thorn in the side of the Fiesta. This year, Groh said, he appointed a weather chairman – Mayor Tom Leighton. Benedetti said the Fiesta would never have succeeded without the city’s annual cooperation. “It’s always said that we know it’s Fiesta time because it’s going to rain,” Groh said. “We used to go indoors, but nobody followed us, so it’s not worth it. The mayor assures me the sun will shine.” Jane Groh said she remembered attending the Fiesta when she arrived at Wilkes in the late 1960s as dean of students. “Of course, that all changes when you become the wife of Al Groh,” she said with a smile. “You realize how much work goes into the event each year and not just in the weeks leading up to the Fiesta, but all year round.” Groh has not only seen the Fine Arts Fiesta grow over the last 56 years; he has seen the region grow as well. He points to the region’s five colleges, its philharmonic orchestra, Little Theater, ballet dance companies, libraries, the arena and more that are indicative of the region’s artistic growth. “There’s sure a lot more here than when we started,” Groh said.

It denotes an uncompromised level of professionalism; it represents compassion, and is symbolic of the trust between a doctor and a patient.” At the close of the ceremony, the class members also recited the Oath of Professionalism they took when they began in 2009, as a way to remind them of the importance of professionalism and their obligation in the doctor-patient relationship. “I hope that you learn to treat patients, not disease,” Bannon said. “People will put their faith in you and, in many cases, literally put their lives in your hands.” The White Coat Ceremony also marks a milestone in the history of TCMC, as it’s the inaugural one. “You are a most unique group,” Bannon said, “the inaugural class of a new medical school. We must bravely embark on this journey together, a leap of faith, if you will.” “It’s a very exciting time for everyone,” said Anne Green, manager of marketing communications at TCMC. “The class of 2016 will be coming in, our charter class is going to begin their clinical rounds.

One of the circuit riders was the Rev. George Peck, who started Wyoming Seminary, said Hazeltine. The Rev. Lori J. Steffensen is the pastor of the church, said Hazeltine. The first church was known as The Methodist Episcopal Church from1844 to1939. It then became The Methodist Church from 1939 to 1968. Since 1968, it has been known as The United Methodist Church. More than 600 people make up the congregation, which includes a mix of young and old, said Hazeltine. A large group of people have been church members for more than 50 years, she added.

Pawtucket hurler shuts down SWB for the second time in 10 days. By By DAN HICKLING Special to the Times Leader

PAWTUCKET, R.I. – It’s better the second time around, or so it is said. But it couldn’t be proven by the SWB Yankees on Sunday in their 9-3 loss to the Pawtucket Red Sox before RED SOX 7,454 at McCoy Stadium. Facing Sox YANKEES starter Matt Fox for the second time in 10 days, the Yankees were handcuffed again by the former first-round draft choice, the top pick of Minnesota in 2004. Fox held the Yankees to four hits while striking out seven in a five-inning stint. That’s three hits more than they were able to get off him back on May 5. “He’s pitched twice against us,” said SWB manager Dave Miley, “and he’s thrown the ball well.” And when Fox (4-2) did get himself in a jam, his out pitch was always at hand. “Their hitters might have an idea what I’m going to throw from having seen me a previous time,” said Fox, who has seen big league time with the Twins and Red Sox. “But the pitcher can do the same thing and realize what a hitter doesn’t like. I think it works both ways.” The Yankees best moments came early on. After spotting Pawtucket a run in the first inning, the Yanks came back to tie it in the second on Justin Maxwell’s solo shot. Maxwell teed off on a 3-1 fastball and yanked it over the left field fence for his 13th homer of the year. “I was trying to throw a fastball inside,” said Fox, “and I just left it over the plate too much. You make a mistake and good hitters are going to hurt you.” That put Maxwell one round tripper behind teammate and IL leader Jorge Vazquez. The respite was a brief one as Pawtucket scored twice in the bottom of the second off SWB starter Andrew Brack-

David Toms, who hit 6-iron out of a divot and made an 18foot birdie putt on the hardest hole to force a playoff, missed a 31⁄2-foot par putt on the 17th to hand Choi the biggest win of his career. “No excuses, no spike marks, no ball marks, no nothing,”

the playoff, and the advantage went to Toms with a shot that settled about 18 feet away. Choi lagged his long birdie putt about 3 feet by the hole, and Toms thought he had a winner with his 18-foot putt until it slid by the cup and rolled 31⁄2 feet by the cup. Into the grain, slightly uphill, he didn’t strike it solidly and missed. Choi tapped in his putt and pumped his fist, yet his heart felt for the 44-year-old Toms. “As a fellow player, I felt very

Toms said of his three-putt bogey on the first sudden-death playoff hole. “Maybe a lot of pressure. But other than that, there was no excuse.” On a hole designed to provide great theater — the island-green 17th — the finish fell flat. Both players hit the green in See GOLF, Page 7B

WILKES-BARRE – Even in the short races, Bonafase Ngandus Omurwa only runs at 75 percent. But Omurwa needed an extra push as Jeffrey Skwierz forced him into a sprint toward the finish Sunday at the Jewish Community Center of Wyoming Valley’s River Street 3 Mile Run.

OPINION JIM LITKE

An exit sign for Posada and others Jorge Posada’s days as a Yankee are numbered. The moment he told his manager he’d rather sit down than hit from the No. 9 hole sealed it. The real shame is that he’s likely just the first in a long line headed out the door in New York. Posada wasn’t in the lineup against the Red Sox on Sunday by design, as opposed to Saturday night, when he simply defaulted. Both he and manager Joe Girardi insisted no bad feelings carried over. “Everything happens for a reason. You learn from it,” said Posada, smiling and laughing as he made his way around the clubhouse. Girardi wasn’t in the mood for flashbacks, either, beyond conceding what he saw less than 24 hours earlier wasn’t the typical Jorge Posada face. “Yeah, he was a little emotional. I was emotional in there because he’s one of my guys.” “I feel for what he’s going through,” Girardi added. The funny thing is that Posada, for all the fuss he kicked up, could turn out to be the least of the Yankees’ headaches. He’s 39, making $13.1 million and can’t hit a lick against lefties. But he’s also in the final year of a fouryear deal. So if you still believe the Yankees are rich enough to keep burying the occasional mistake, maybe that’s all this turns out to be. Either way, Posada will be gone soon enough. And whenever that turns out to be, the sitdown will seem like little more than a hiccup in a career packed with championship moments. One bout of selfishness might not change the way New Yorkers view him jumping into a teammate’s arms at the start of all those celebrations. But the resentment could grow once those same fans begin totaling up the real costs of what the Yankees spent to keep most of the faces in those photos together. If you put an ear to the ground outside the billion-dollar palace the franchise opened across the street from the original just two years ago, you can almost hear the foundation creaking under all those dollars. Derek Jeter, who turns 37 next month, isn’t quite hitting his weight and his deal has two years to run. Alex Rodriguez, 35, is hovering around .250 and he’s owed around $24 million a year until he’s 42. Throw in ace CC Sabathia, 30, who’s due $23 million a year through 2015, and you can see how nostalgia gets expensive in a hurry. “It’s sad, because you’d always like those things to last forever,” former manager Joe Torre said earlier this week. “They were part of something very unique.” They were also part of an era when we were lulled into thinking that the best players in every game could blow past their expiration dates like they were stamped in invisible ink. For decades, players simply got older, not better, when they skidded into their mid-30s and beyond. The easy explanations were better diets and conditioning regimens. The came revelations of performance-enhancing drugs, and we learned so many weren’t beating Father Time so much as cheating him. There’s no reason to impugn the reputations of any of those names above, save A-Rod, who admitted what he called a flirtation with PEDs a few years ago. Likewise, we can laud baseball’s efforts to keep PEDs out of the game while remaining suspiSee LITKE, Page 4B

U.S. Open qualifier set for Huntsville G.C.

A field of 31 golfers will compete on Wednesday at the Huntsville Golf Club for an opportunity to possible play in this year’s U.S. Open. Twenty-four professionals and seven amateurs will tee it up beginning at 8:30 a.m. for an 18-hole shootout for one of two spots to advance out of the local qualifier. Golfers who advance out of local qualifying will compete at one of 13 sectional qualifiers over 36 holes. The U.S. Open will be played at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Md., June 16-20. The USGA accepted 8,300 entries for this year’s open championship, and 550 players will advance out of local qualifying to join approximately 416 exempt players who will be competing in sectional qualifying for available spots. Sixty-five players are fully exempt. Area players of note in the field are Bucknell Golf Club pro Brian Kelly and Huntsville Golf Club head professional Mike Molino. Huntsville Golf Club assistant pro Ryan Dimmick and amateur Todd Vonderheid also represent the host club. Molino and Benton’s Tyler Brewington grew up playing the NCPGA Junior Tour. Williamsport’s Matt Schall and amateur Kyle Deisher are also products of the NCPGA junior tour. Brewington played college golf at Rider, while Schall played for the University of Maryland. Former Penn State golf team captain Greg Pieczynski and Honesdale amateur Eric Williams are also competing. Pieczynski grabbed one of the qualifying spots the last time the open local was at Huntsville in 2009. Williams has competed in both the U.S. and the Mid Amateur Championships. Pieczynski will be paired with 2008 Pennsylvania Mid Amateur champion William Smith. The 7,200-yard, par-72 Huntsville Golf Club was designed by Rees Jones and opened in 1995. It has hosted the Pennsylvania Senior Better Ball Championship, Pennsylvania Mid Amateur Championship and the Pennsylvania Senior Amateur Championship. Golf Digest Magazine ranks Huntsville fourth among golf courses in Pennsylvania. Officials from the North Central Pennsylvania Golf Association will assist with the tournament.

LOS ANGELES — Ian Kennedy pitched six innings and Xavier Nady and Ryan Roberts hit consecutive homers to help the Diamondbacks beat the Dodgers. Kennedy (4-1) allowed a run and four hits, struck out eight and walked one to help the Diamondbacks win a series at Dodger Stadium for the first time since August 2007. Padres 8, Rockies 2

Nationals 8, Marlins 4

HOUSTON — Justin Turner homered and drove in a careerhigh five runs, and Jason Pridie hit a go-ahead single and stole home for the Mets. Chris Capuano (3-4) allowed six hits and two runs in five innings. He struck out six. Aneury Rodriguez (0-2) didn’t allow a hit until the fifth, but finished with five earned runs and four walks in his third major league start. Francisco Rodriguez pitched a perfect ninth for his 12th

WASHINGTON — Jason Marquis pitched into the seventh inning to win his fifth game, drove in two runs and led the Nationals over the Marlins. Marquis (5-1) drove in two runs in the first with an RBI double, and added a single in the fourth.

AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP

BoSox complete sweep of struggling Yankees Rangers 5, Angels 4

ARLINGTON, Texas — Chris Davis homered and later drove in the tiebreaking run with an eighth-inning single and the Rangers beat the Angels, winning only their second series in the past month. The Rangers loaded the bases to start the eighth after Rich Thompson (1-2) failed to retire any of the three batters he faced. Davis then singled to right off Hisanori Takahashi. White Sox 4, Athletics 3

OAKLAND, Calif. — Alexei Ramirez had three hits, including a home run off previously unbeaten Trevor Cahill, and the White Sox topped the Athletics. Mark Buehrle (3-3) won for only the second time in 15 appearances at Oakland. The White Sox went 6-3 on their road trip, winning all three series. Orioles 9, Rays 3

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — J.J Hardy hit a grand slam, Nick Markakis added a solo shot and the Orioles beat the Rays. The Orioles loaded the bases in the sixth with no outs as Rays reliever Rob Delaney walked all three batters — one intentionally — he faced. Hardy then put Baltimore up 8-2 when he hit his third career grand slam on a 2-0 pitch from Cesar Ramos. It was Hardy’s first grand slam since May 12, 2007 while with Milwaukee against the New York Mets. Jake Arrieta (5-1) allowed two runs and four hits over six innings for the Orioles, who took two of three from Tampa Bay.

DENVER — Mat Latos snapped a personal 10-game losing streak and Ryan Ludwick homered in the Padres’ win over the slumping Rockies. Latos (1-5) hadn’t won since Sept. 7, 2010, and his 10 straight losing decisions were one shy of the club record set by right-hander Gary Ross in 1969.

NEW YORK — Kevin Youkilis hit a tying three-run homer, David Ortiz had a go-ahead drive and the Boston Red Sox completed a sweep of the reeling New York Yankees with a 7-5 victory Sunday night to reach .500 for the first time this season. Jon Lester (5-1) shrugged off a slow start to beat New York again and Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit his first homer with Boston as the Red Sox swept a three-game series in the Bronx for the first time since April 2004. Heavily favored to win the AL East, the Red Sox opened the season 0-6 but finally evened their record (20-20) on their fourth try. Despite jumping out to a 4-1 lead, the Yankees matched their longest losing streak since May 2009 by losing their fifth straight — all at home — a slump plagued by shaky defense, a lack of big hits — and a huge dose of turmoil.

straight save. He has not allowed a run in 14 appearances since April 14.

MILWAUKEE — Ryan Braun homered, tripled and drove in four runs, leading a shaky Zack Greinke and the Milwaukee Brewers over the Pittsburgh Pirates for a three-game sweep. Casey McGehee and Jonathan Lucroy also homered as the Brewers beat Pittsburgh for the ninth straight time at Miller Park. The Pirates have lost five in a row overall.

Immigration laws hit sour note with Santana Music legend speaks out against the legislation during Civil Rights Game. By CHARLES ODUM AP Sports Writer

ATLANTA—CarlosSantanaon Sunday used baseball’s annual Civil Rights Game as a platform to admonish Georgia and Arizona for their new immigration laws. Santana received the Beacon of Change Award before the BravesPhillies game. The Grammy-winning musician said he was representing immigrants before adding: “The people of Arizona, and the people of Atlanta, Georgia, you should be ashamed of yourselves.” Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal on

N H L P L AYO F F S

Friday signed a bill that cracks down on illegal immigration in the state. The bill requires many employers to check the immigration status of new hires and authorizes law enforcement officers to check the immigration status of some suspects. Georgia’s new law shares some similaritiestooneenactedlastyear in Arizona. “Thislawisnotcorrect.It’sacruel law, actually,” Santana said in an impromptu news conference after the ceremony. “This is about fear. Stop shucking and jiving. People are afraid we’re going to steal your job. No we aren’t. You’re not going to change sheets and clean toilets.” Added Santana: “This is the United States. This is the land of the free. If people want the immigration laws to keep passing, then

everybodyshouldgetoutandleave the American Indians here.” Rev.JesseJacksonpresentedthe Beacon of Life Award to Cubs Hall of Famer Ernie Banks. “I haven’t done anything to earn it, but I appreciate it,” Banks said. Former Dodgers pitcher Don Newcombe presented the Beacon of Hope Award to actor Morgan Freeman, who wore a Braves jacket and a Negro Leagues Atlanta Black Crackers cap. Al Roker, co-host of NBC’s The Today Show, was the moderator for the ceremony and introduced a videotributetoBravesHallofFamer Hank Aaron, who received a standing ovation from his hometown fans. The Braves and Phillies wore throwback uniforms from the1974 season, the year Aaron broke Babe

Ruth’s career home run record. Two leaders of the civil rights movement in Atlanta, former Mayor Andrew Young and the Rev. Joseph Lowery, went to the mound for the ceremonial first pitches, thrown to two African-American stars — Phillies slugger Ryan Howard and Atlanta’s Jason Heyward. Baseball commissioner Bud Selig attended the ceremony. This is baseball’s fifth Civil Rights Game. The first event was in Memphis in 2007. “Anytimeyoucanhonorthepeople that changed the game, it’s a good thing,” said Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro. The game also will return to AtAP PHOTO lanta in 2012. “I think it’s the perfect city to Former Cubs great Ernie Banks, left, and musician Carlos Santana host this,” Braves manager Fredi talk before a pregame ceremony before the Atlanta Braves baseball game against the Philadelphia Phillies in Atlanta Sunday.

Canucks win Game 1 in West finals

Continued from Page 1B

The Associated Press

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Defenseman Kevin Bieksa tied it 7:02 into the third period, Henrik Sedin scored on a power play 1:19 later, and the Vancouver Canucks came back to open their first Western Conference final in 17 years with a 3-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Sunday night. Maxim Lapierre scored his first of these playoffs, and Roberto Luongo made 27 saves — and a brutal first period giveaway — for the Canucks. Game 2 is Wednesday night in Vancouver. Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau scored, and Antti Niemi stopped 35 shots for the Sharks, coming off an emotional, draining Game 7 victory over Detroit on Thursday night.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Coming off his worst performance in the playoffs, Kevin Durant couldn’t get his shots to fall again. Then he caught a glimpse of his mother dancing around during a timeout and, like magic, the ball started going through the net. Durant scored 39 points for his best offensive outing of the series, Russell Westbrook had his first playoff triple-double and the Oklahoma City Thunder advanced to the Western Conference finals with a 105-90 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 7 on Sunday. “I knew she had those dance moves,” Durant said. “She used to do it all the time when I was young. She was having fun. I was glad to see that.” Soon enough, he was having fun, too — and the Thunder are two-stepping into Texas for the franchise’s first appearance in the West finals since losing in the NBA finals in 1996 as the Seattle SuperSonics. Game 1 against the Mavericks is Tuesday night in Dallas. Durant, the NBA scoring champion the past two seasons, followed the lowest-scoring game of his two postseason appearances with one of his best.

LOCAL ROUNDUP

Misericordia places second at ECACs The Times Leader Staff

READING – Misericordia University split of pair of games to finish second at the ECAC South Softball Championships Sunday at Alvernia. After eliminating Alvernia with a 4-0 win, the Cougars dropped the final to DeSales, 7-6. Maria Kidron had two hits in the final, and Hollie Sarnak had a two-run homer. Emily Barnable added a threerun homer for the Cougars, who finished 25-18. In the opener, Nikki Boccia hit a three-run homer in the top of the first. Amanda Polaha drove in a run in the top of the seventh and Cromley worked out of a bases loaded jam in the bottom of the seventh to preserve the shutout. Kidron led off the game with a double to center field and moved to third on Polaha’s sacrifice bunt. Sarnak was hit by a pitch and one out later Boccia belted an 0-2 pitch for a threerun homer to left field. BOYS LACROSSE Crestwood 9, Bellefonte 8

gans against Wade led to two free throws by Rose after he got knocked to the floor going for a fast-break layup. Then, after a timeout, Noah blocked a layup by Wade and scored seconds later on a layup off an inbounds along the Bulls’ baseline, making it 67-58. The Heat’s James Jones stopped the run with a 3, but the Bulls simply weren’t about to be stopped. When Deng hit a 3 with 1:15 left, the crowd jumped to its feet and let out a roar. More im-

He heated up in the second quarter after the entertaining exchange with his mother, put the Thunder in control late in the third, then put it away with a pair of two-handed slams in the fourth. “Durant is a special player, one of the best players in the NBA,” said Memphis star Zach Randolph, who was limited to an inefficient 17 points and 10 rebounds. “The kid is a gym-rat, he works hard. He’s one of my favorite players. You’ve got to give him kudos and give him respect. “You see what he does night in and night out and he’s just relentless.” Westbrook, criticized throughout the playoffs for taking too many shots, was at his allaround best with 14 points, matching his season-high with 14 assists and producing extra possessions with 10 rebounds. “He gets picked on a little bit, but one of the things (with) Russell, he keeps playing,” Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. “He keeps improving, he keeps getting better and tonight he controlled the game.” Mike Conley scored 18 points to lead Memphis, which had never won a playoff game before this year and made a bid to become the first No. 8 seed to reach the West finals.

“We just believed we could play with anybody,” said Randolph, who had averaged 28.3 points and 14.7 rebounds in the Grizzlies’ three wins in the series. “We’ve been competing like this all year. We just wasn’t seen nationally and a lot of people didn’t know about us because weren’t on TV a lot, but we’ve been playing good basketball all year and competing with the best teams.” James Harden added four 3pointers and 17 points for Oklahoma City, and Nick Collison had 12 rebounds. O.J. Mayo scored 14 for Memphis but couldn’t provide the same amount of room for Randolph as he did after moving into the starting lineup in Game 6.

portant, that started a 14-3 run that stretched into the fourth and put this one away. Whether it was Boozer feeding Omer Asik for a dunk early in the fourth or Deng racing in to put back his own missed jumper after a 3 by James, there was plenty for the Chicago fans to cheer during that stretch. They were loving it when Ronnie Brewer stole pass from Mario Chalmers and hit two free throws, then dunked to make it 80-66. And when C.J. Watson buried a 3 to put the lead at 17, they just about came unglued. For at least some Chicago fans, beating Miami to get to the NBA finals would be sweet redemption after what hap-

pened during the summer. With enough salary-cap room for two stars, the Bulls went after James, Wade and Bosh in the summer, hoping to land some combination of the two. You know the rest of that story.

had good energy to pull away from Jeffrey. “At a quarter mile, I could still hear footsteps when we were running to the finish line.” The women’s title was not nearly as close. Samantha Snead, of Moscow, was 1:20 faster than the competition, crossing the line at 17:13. West Pittston’s Deidre Porfiro followed Snead, clocking in at 18:33. Snead’s strategy for winning the race was to run with the men. Her time was fourth overall and 2:47 faster than last year’s JCC 3-mile female winner. “I usually try to pace myself off the guys,” said Snead. “The course is nice, flat and short, and it was easy to stay with the top guys.” Skwierz, of Pringle, said he was impressed with how he fared considering he wasn’t in his best physical condition. “For where I am in my training right now, I’m not in that great of shape,” he said. “I haven’t been doing a lot of workouts or a lot of running in general. It’s my first race of the year.” Kenny Quigley, of Dunmore, won the men’s 40-44 division by saving his energy for the final straightaway.

man (2-3). Brackman hurt his own cause with a botched throw on a sacrifice bunt by Matt Sheely, paving the way for one of the runs. The Yankees got off to a promising start in the top of the third when they loaded the bases with no outs. But with the heart of the order coming up, Fox minimized the damage by limiting the Yanks to just one run on a Kevin Russo sacrifice fly. “We had the right guys coming up,” said Miley, referring to mashers Jesus Montero and Vazquez, who both struck out. “They are our RBI guys. More times than not, they drive in some runs. They’re not going to do it every time. We plugged away, but we couldn’t get the big hit.” Pawtucket opened up a 7-2 lead with three in the fourth that led to Brackman’s early exit. In all, Brackman lasted just four frames, giving up eight hits

BULL RIDING

HOCKEY

Snowfall eliminates first stage of race Tour of California will be shortened to seven stages because of bad weather.

The Associated Press

TRUCKEE, Calif. — The start of the Tour of California was wiped out Sunday because of snow, forcing organizers to cut the event from eight to seven stages. Before calling off the start, organizers delayed the stage by 2 hours, 45 minutes and shortened the scheduled 118.7-mile road race from South Lake Tahoe to Northstar at Tahoe Resort to 49.2 miles. When the weather cleared a bit, the 144 riders were signed in at the start and about to compete under a light snowfall, a temperature of 35 degrees and 12 mph wind, but organizers called it off less than a minute before the start. Originally set for 763.8 miles, the race has been cut to 645.1 miles. “We were monitoring weather conditions up until the predicted 1:15 p.m. start time, and we just couldn’t safely put the riders out on the course with the current forecast,” said Andrew Messick, president of AEG Sports — the race owner. “We appreciate the support of all the fans that came

out to the start line in South Lake Tahoe, and we hope they understand and respect our decision, but when the safety of riders and fans is involved, there is no leeway. We are looking forward to seeing everyone at the start tomorrow in Squaw Valley.” Before the start was wiped out, there was a moment of silence for Wouter Weylandt, the Belgium rider killed last Monday in the third stage of the Tour of Italy. “The riders discussed as a group and we just don’t feel comfortable riding knowing what can happen, especially in light of what happened last Monday,” three-time winner Levi Leipheimer said. “We still have a full week of racing ahead of us, so we want to make sure everyone is healthy. With the weather conditions the way they are, racing today is just not possible. On behalf of all the riders, we apologize and appreciate everyone’s support and understanding.” George Hincapie, a former stage winner, agreed with Leipheimer. “There was definitely a concern with the safety of the course and the really fast descent,” Hincapie said. “If it’s icy, you don’t have control of your bike. And the end of the day, they just prioritized safety.”

Contador wins stage, takes over Giro lead The Associated Press

ETNA, Italy — Giro d’Italia favorite Alberto Contador surged to his first stage win of this year’s race Sunday and took the leader’s pink jersey from Pieter Weening. The three-time Tour de France winner finished the 104.7-mile ninth stage from Messina in 4 hours, 54 minutes, 8 seconds, with Jose Rujano three seconds behind. “The plan worked today,” Contador said. “We had some doubts at times because the race was so slow, but we

thought we should try it. (Vincenzo) Nibali stayed with me for a while, but I went and managed to hold on for the win. “As far as I’m concerned I don’t expect to win every stage as long as I’m close to the winner. I felt good today and my legs were good, so I had to try something.” Stefano Garzelli then led the chasing pack across the line for third, 50 seconds behind Contador. Overall, Contador has a 59second lead over Kanstantsin Sivtsov.

No mas for Ochocinco Flamboyant NFL receiver gives up bull riding after first try ends after 1.5 seconds. By GEORGE HENRY Associated Press

DULUTH, Ga. — NFL receiver Chad Ochocinco backed up his promise to ride a 1,500-pound bull on the Professional Bull Riders circuit Saturday night, earning $10,000 for making it out of the chute atop Deja Blu. The ride lasted 1.5 seconds before Ochocinco was bucked off with no apparent injury. Ochocinco, who wore a helmet and a standard protective vest, fell 6.5 seconds short of the time needed to win a new Ford truck and to earn the right to rename the bull after Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis. But the challenge that began with a tweet earlier this month ended with Ochocinco proving PBR president Sean Gleason that he was serious. The six-time Pro Bowl receiver said, however, that he would never ride a bull again. “One and done,” he said. The publicity stunt was the latest for Ochocinco, whose Twitter account has nearly 2 million followers. Ochocinco said he did not speak with Cincinnati coaches when the NFL lockout was briefly lifted in late April. He is under contract with the Bengals but is likely either to be released or told to take a hefty pay cut now that Cincinnati has drafted A.J. Green. Ochocinco acknowledged that the Bengals probably weren’t pleased that he was risking a career-threatening injury. “I’m sure my coach was probably (upset),” Ochocinco said. “I mean, I would be, too. I’m sure the NFL is (upset), but I don’t follow their rules anyway.” Ty Murray, a former world champion rider and a PBR director, coached Ochocinco the last two days at the Gwinnett Arena in hopes of preparing him for the powerful force of a bucking bull. Murray compared the experience to a firsttime skier attempting to navigate a run from the top of the French Alps. “We practiced several crash scenarios today,” Murray said. “He’s a phenomenal athlete, he’s very easy to teach because he’s so athletic and aware of his body. But what he did was monumental and to try and ride a bull for 8 seconds with his lack of experience is impossible.” Ochocinco and Deja Blu were the feature event at intermission of the Lucas Oil Invitational. According to Gleason, Ochocinco helped to generate much-needed publicity for the PBR. “I think our viewership for this show will be

our highest of the year, but I think the effects will be long-ranging,” Gleason said. “A guy like Chad can come in here and think that this is going to be an easy thing to do and then stand there and say, ‘I had no idea. This is unbelievable.’ “That’s going to help our sport more than anything.” Ochocinco, who tried out in March with Sporting Kansas City of Major League Soccer, has no plans to try another dangerous sport during the lockout. Playing in the NFL is hard enough, but he disagreed that bull riding presented a major risk to his longevity. “No, every down is a risk to my career,” he said. “Every time I wake up in the morning there’s a risk to life in general. You never know what’s going to happen. One of the things about me is I’m extremely interesting, I’m unpredictable and I am willing to do anything.”

BRATISLAVA, Slovakia — Petteri Nokelainen scored the first of Finland’s five third-period goals to lift it to a 6-1 win over Sweden on Sunday for its second ice hockey world championship title. Nokelainen beat goalie Viktor Fasth at 2:35 of the final period on a breakaway to give Finland a 2-1 lead and Niko Kapanen scored another 46 seconds later in the third. Janne Pesonen, Mika Pyorala and Antti Pihlstrom scored in a 2:24 span later in the period to finish off the Swedes. “Maybe the best period of the tournament,” forward Tuomo Ruutu said. “That’s how it’s supposed to be. That’s what you gotta do if you wanna win the gold medal.” It was the second world title for the Finns after they also beat Sweden in the 1995 finals. “After a couple games, I saw we had a great chance to win,” said Ruutu, who plays for the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes. “This is the biggest thing (in my career). It feels really good.” Sunday’s game was the fourth worlds final between the longstanding rivals. Sweden, which was chasing its ninth world title and first since 2006, won in 1992 and 1998. Finnish goalie Petri Vehanen stopped 32 shots for the win. “The third (period) was just by far not good enough against the strong team as Finland,” Swedish captain Rickard Wallin said. “We felt like we had a good chance (in the third), but a couple of mistakes early and they wrapped up two, and then just set back, waiting for our mistakes. They really didn’t give us anything. We just didn’t play close to good enough to be able to come back. We didn’t have the best day today.” Jarkko Immonen started the Finnish comeback after he answered the opening goal by Magnus Paajarvi in the middle period to become the tournament’s top scorer with nine goals. “We had a great tournament,” Finland coach Jukka Jalonen said. “We won the world championship because we were mentally very tough.” The victory is “great for the Finns as a nation, it’s great for our ice hockey,” Jalonen said. “I’m proud of the Swedish guys, this is a start of something for us,” Swedish coach Par Marts said. Swedish goalie Viktor Fasth was selected the MVP of the tournament during the final period when he allowed five goals. “It’s important to see it in a long term and he’s quite a goalie and had a really good tournament,” Marts said. In the bronze medal match earlier Sunday, Roman Cervenka had a hat trick to lead the Czech Republic to a 7-4 victory over Russia.

Djokovic beats Nadal for Italian Open title; Sharapova wins women’s title By ANDREW DAMPF AP Sports Writer

ROME — Novak Djokovic is starting to realize what an impact he’s making on tennis with his recent domination of Rafael Nadal — and everyone else in the game, too. Djokovic beat the top-ranked Nadal 6-4, 6-4 in the Italian Open final Sunday to stretch his unbeaten start this year to 37 matches. Djokovic trails only John McEnroe’s 42-0 start in 1984. Overall, the Serb has won 39 consecutive matches stretching to Serbia’s Davis Cup triumph in December, sixth best in the Open era, seven behind Guillermo Vilas’ record set in 1977. “It’s an incredible honor to be a part of tennis history in some way and part of an elite group of players — Federer, Nadal, McEnroe, (Ivan) Lendl, guys who were winning so many in a row,” Djo-

kovic said. “I don’t know how much good it brings to tennis, but it’s good that someone else is able to win other than just Federer and Nadal. It makes it more interesting.” The second-ranked Djokovic has beaten Nadal in all four finals they’ve played this year and defeated the Spaniard for the first time on clay last week in the Madrid Open final. This win makes Djokovic the first player to beat Nadal on clay twice in the same year, a feat that comes exactly a week before the French Open starts. “I’m just most happy about the game I have this year on clay — the way I’m striking the ball and the way I’m so self-confident,” Djokovic said. “I always knew I could beat the top players, but now I have the confidence to do it.” Djokovic’s edge over Nadal

could enable him to overtake his rival for the No. 1 ranking the week after the French Open. “He’s doing amazing things. Every match he’s very tough mentally and physically,” Nadal said. “I’m doing everything I can. I can’t ask myself anymore now. I’m doing very well but one player is doing better than me. I am waiting every week to try solutions, so let’s see.” Nadal said it’s “impossible” for Djokovic’s streak to go on forever. “I have to wait for my moment to win and I know that,” the Spaniard said. Also Sunday, Maria Sharapova stormed to a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Sam Stosur in the woman’s final for the biggest clay-court title of her career. After a three-hour rain delay, the seventh-seeded Sharapova won the opening four games,

among the favorites in Paris. “This is just the beginning of many things to come. This is just the start of everything,” Sharapova said during the trophy presentation. Nadal had won this tournament five of the past six years and entered the final with a 31-1 career record in Rome. His only previous loss came to countryman Juan Carlos Ferrero in his opening round three years ago. Djokovic attributed his win in Madrid partly to the altitude and faster conditions there. The conditions at the Foro Italico are more similar to those in Paris, perhaps making this victory more meaningful. “Whatever the conditions I needed to step into the court and take chances and be aggressive,” said Djokovic, who also won this title in 2008. “That’s really the only way against Nadal on clay.”

Kenseth’s call leads to victory

Franchitti feels good heading into Indy 500

The Associated Press

DOVER, Del. — Matt Kenseth’s first idea was to skip pit road, take a chance he could start first on a restart and hang on for a victory. Then, he had another thought. Why not just take two tires on pit road instead of four? With his No. 17 Ford on the jack, Kenseth called the audible and told crew chief Jimmy Fennig he wanted two. “Two tires! Two tires!” Fennig said. His crew made the switch before they dropped the car and that was the perfect strategy Kenseth needed to win the Sprint Cup race at Dover International Speedway on Sunday. Kenseth led the final 32 laps to win for the second time this season. He also won at Texas and became the third driver to win twice this season. Under NASCAR’s revamped rules for qualifying for the Chase for the championship that emphasize wins, Kenseth strengthened his bid to make the field with his second win. “My mind is to be up there and try to lead those points going into the Chase and try to make the Chase in championship form,” Kenseth said. “We don’t want to have to slide off of wins. We want to go up there and race like this every week.”

Mark Martin was second and Marcos Ambrose third. Kyle Busch and Brian Vickers rounded out the top five. Busch was forced to start in the rear of the field because of an engine change. Kenseth made his Cup debut at Dover in 1998 as a fill-in for Bill Elliott. He won for the second time in the Cup series on the high-banked, 1-mile concrete track. “It’s one of those tracks that’s a challenge to get around fast, whether you’re racing someone or not,” Kenseth said. The 400-mile race was dominated by long stretches of green flag racing. Jimmie Johnson and Edwards turned this into a twocar battle for first for the majority of the race. Edwards led 117 laps before falling to seventh place. Johnson led a race-high 207 laps and finished ninth. Unlike Kenseth and crew, Edwards’ crew chief Bob Osborne made a four-tire call on the last restart that dropped him to ninth and spoiled his chance at the win. “I didn’t have any choice in it, really,” Edwards said. “That’s up to the guys in the box. That is too tough of a choice to make right there and I don’t blame Bob Osborne one bit.” Regan Smith was 34th a week after he shocked the sport with

his first career win at Darlington Raceway. Busch and Kevin Harvick had no incidents after a pit road dustup at Darlington landed them on probation. Harvick was 10th. Martin stayed on the track on old tires to take the lead when the caution flag came out with 39 laps left. Kenseth made a quick stop and opted for two tires instead of four, the right number for him to pull pass Martin on the restart and then pull away for the victory. “We were going to do four, we got in the stall and decided to do two. That was the key,” Kenseth said. Kenseth overruled crew chief Jimmy Fennig and made the call for two tires. “When I was on the jack, I asked if he was sure we didn’t want to try two and he said to

put two on,” Kenseth said. “It was really Jimmy’s call and a good suggestion by me.” Kenseth said he was having trouble during the green flag racing because the rubber that built on the track made the concrete slick — an obstacle for a loose car. When the short runs started coming, Kenseth found a cleaner track and clean air was enough to spark his run. Kenseth, the 2003 series champion, won his 20th career Cup race. Martin earned his first topfive of the season. “Today, we finally got a finish,” he said. “It looked like we were going to get 15th again with a really fast race car. We’ve had a race car this good a lot this year. But it seems like for some reason or another we end up in the back of the back.”

INDIANAPOLIS — Dario Franchitti needed two Indianapolis 500 victories to feel like a defending champion. Now he’s getting used to it. Four years after winning a rainshortened race, the Scotsman has returned to the venue of his two biggest wins with an opportunity to — finally — become a repeat winner. He never got that chance in 2008, leaving the comfort of IndyCars for the world of stock cars. “It’s nice to talk about last year, but my job is to win this one,” Franchitti said. “Yeah, I’ve got a shot, and I think I’ve got a good one.” Franchitti already has a sense of what this month will entail. In March, NBA Hall of Famer Larry Bird presented Franchitti with his Indy 500 champion’s ring. A week later, he returned to Indy in hopes of knocking out some of the interview requests he expects to fill over the next two weeks. He’s been asked to do more sponsor appearances, will participate in a soldout fundraiser tonight to benefit Riley Children’s Hospital of Indianapolis, and three days later will celebrate his 38th birthday. Yes, it’s been a busy month, and if the rain actually stops this week, Franchitti will have be cramming in all of his on-thetrack work before qualifying starts next weekend. In Saturday’s abbreviated practice, he was fourth on the speed chart with a

best lap of 224.107 mph. More showers washed out the 6-hour session scheduled for Saturday before any cars Franchitti could make it onto the track, and rain is sprinkled into the forecast for most of this week, too. The good news is that Franchitti’s with a team, Target Chip Ganassi, and a teammate, Scott Dixon, who have endured the champion’s treatement before. “You’re definitely a lot more in demand and it takes some time away as well,” said Dixon, the 2008 Indy winner. “As long as you get that managed well, and focus on the track, you’ll be all right.” Franchitti could have sampled it himself after winning the 500 in 2007. But five months after the race and just weeks after clinching the first of his three IndyCar points titles, Franchitti left Michael Andretti’s IndyCar team for Ganassi’s Sprint Cup team. It was a miserable experience. Franchitti failed to finish higher than 17th in his three warm-up races to close the 2007 season, then broke his left ankle in a Nationwide Series crash in 2008 at Talledega. The worst part was watching Dixon dominate the race at Indy with another ex-IndyCar driver, Max Papis, on Memorial Day weekend in Charlotte, N.C.

McDowell flustered by collapse By MARK LONG AP Sports Writer

N O T E B O O K

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Graeme McDowell couldn’t muster any momentum. The flat feeling that overwhelmed him following an unlucky roll on No. 18 in the raindelayed third round Sunday morning carried over to the final round. And he never recovered. McDowell shot a 7-over 79 in the final round of The Players Championship, a stunning collapse that left the U.S. Open champion simply trying to stay out of the way of playing partners K.J. Choi and David Toms. Choi ended up beating Toms on the first playoff hole. “It was disappointing out there today,” said McDowell, who tied for 33rd at 5-under 283. “Probably my first time under the gun in a little while. So first time we played in front of a crowd that big in a little while, you know. So it’s kind of getting back into the old vibes again. “Didn’t quite have it out there. I was a little flat today. Energy levels weren’t where I need them to be. But we live and we learn and we’ll be back.” McDowell’s struggles started with a bad break on TPC Sawgrass. He built a three-shot lead in the third round with a tap-in birdie on No. 17, the famed island green. But he was shocked to see his approach on the 18th bounce onto the green, take a hard turn left and roll all way into the water. He wound up with a double bogey for a 68. Even so, that gave him a oneshot lead over Choi and Toms going into the final round. It didn’t last. He birdied No. 5 thanks to a massive drive, getting him to 13 under, but then his game unraveled. His tee shot at No. 6 went way right in the trees and led to a bogey. He overcompensated on his next drive and hooked it into the water left, leading to another bogey. He started chasing shots from

there, most noticeably when he tried to hit from behind a bush on No. 9. He barely moved the ball and ended up with another bogey. It was downhill from there, with more inconsistency off the tee and more errant approach shots at every turn. “I said I was going to take the positives away whatever happened this weekend,” McDowell said. “I said I was going to stick to my guns. It’s going to hurt for a few hours, but it was a tough task today. The golf course and the wind got up. It was tricky, and I just didn’t have it.” He was 8 over in the final 13 holes. “I think it was physical fatigue brought on by a few bogeys at the wrong time,” he said. “Long day out there. I just couldn’t seem to get any momentum. You need a little momentum out there, and I couldn’t seem to read the grain. I wasn’t reading the greens the way I’ve been reading them. Couldn’t hole anything. It was just a bad day at the office.” GLOVER’S GAFFES: Lucas Glover lost 11 strokes in four holes Sunday, a free fall from the leaderboard that cost him a chance at winning The Players. Glover double-bogeyed No. 16 and tripled No. 18 in a 74 in the rain-delayed third round Sunday morning, then carded a quadruple bogey at No. 4 and a double at 18 in a final-round 77. “I’m not going to put much stock into today, believe me,” said Glover, who was 5 over in the final round and finished at 1 under for the tournament. Glover, who won last week at Quail Hollow, was 11 under and right in the mix when he stepped to the tee box at No. 16 in the third round. He pushed his second shot right and into the water at the par-5 hole, then knocked his drop over the green. He chipped on and two-putted for a 7. His tee shot at the par-4 18th was equally poor. He yanked it left into the water, then hit his next

shot into the right rough. He had to lay up from there and finished with another double. Things got worse after the final round began. Glover hit two balls into the water at the par-4 fourth and ended up carding a snowman 8. He yanked another tee shot left at 18 and doubled the closing hole. “I hit three bad shots and it cost me nine (strokes), and I made a bad decision on 18 and it cost me two,” Glover said. “Other than that, it wasn’t all that bad. I think it was a combination of hitting the wrong shots on the wrong holes. Just didn’t execute this morning and didn’t have it this afternoon. No bid deal.” TIGER TALK: PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem insisted Sunday that he never pressured Tiger Woods to compete in The Players Championship. Finchem spoke with reporters before the final round of the Tour’s signature event and made it clear he never asked Woods to play through his injuries. “I don’t twist players’ arms, and as far as Tiger being hurt, guys, that’s a decision he has to make, and I had no information that he wasn’t ready to play golf,” Finchem said. “I don’t

think anybody did. I don’t think he did. “I was on the range with him for a half an hour Tuesday. He was hitting it really well. He went and played nine holes and he didn’t have a problem. He played the next day, he didn’t have a problem. He stayed on the range that day, he didn’t have a problem. So it’s all nonsense as far as I’m concerned, and I don’t want to talk about it anymore.” Woods withdrew from The Players after nine holes Thursday because of knee and Achilles’ tendon problems that had sidelined him since the Masters. His early withdrawal led to speculation that he was playing as a favor. “We communicate with players all the time with weak fields, weak-field events and we encourage players to move their schedule around and try to include a weak field,” Finchem said. “We never go to a player and say, ‘Would you please, please, please play this event, this event or any other event, ever. And I don’t recall ever talking to any player in my tenure about whether or not they were going to play The Players Championship.”

sorry for him,” Choi said. “Because I know how that feels. And I felt bad for him.” Choi had reason to celebrate for his own feats. Winless on the PGA Tour for three years, he took the outright lead with a 10-foot birdie on the 17th in regulation, saved par on the 18th with a putt from just in side 5 feet to close with a 2-under 70 and kept his nerves steady. The South Korean lived in Jacksonville briefly when he first came to America and once practiced at the TPC Sawgrass, although he said his game wasn’t good enough then to break par. Now, Choi is The Players champion, a winner of the biggest event on the PGA Tour. “For me to shoot under par every day on this course this week, it’s like a miracle, to be honest with you,” Choi said. Choi won for the eighth time in his PGA Tour career, picked up $1.71 million from the biggest purse in tournament golf, moved to No. 15 in the world and all but assured himself a spot on the Presidents Cup team. Toms, winless in five years, had an easy time taking away positives. He was the 36-hole leader, finished the rain-delayed third round Sunday morning only one shot behind and spent some five hours with his name atop the leaderboard in the final round. And his birdie on the 18th — one of only four birdies on the hardest hole at Sawgrass in the final round — he hit 6-iron out of a divot to 18 feet and forced a playoff. “It was the best putt I’ve had in an awful long time,” Toms said. Even so, it’s hard to get past a pair of mistakes. The first one came on the par-5 16th, when he had a oneshot lead over Choi and tried to reach the green in two. His approach found the water, and Toms wound up making bogey. This is the guy famous for laying up on the par-4 18th at Atlanta Athletic Club when he won his lone major 10 years ago at the PGA Championships.

Toms was trying to put pressure on Choi. “I thought I could hit the shot,” he said. And then came the putt, when part of him already was thinking about going to the second playoff hole that decided the tournament. One consolation for Toms, along with knowing his game is close, is that he moved to No. 46 in the world and can avoid U.S. Open qualifying if he can stay there one more week. Toms also finished with a 70, joining Choi in the playoff at 13-under 275. So many other players felt they also squandered chances, none more than U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell and Nick Watney. McDowell, who had a oneshot lead when the third round concluded Sunday morning because of rain delays, lost his way after an errant tee shot into the trees on the sixth hole. He hit four shots into the water the rest of the way and closed with a 79. Watney was in control late in the third round until playing a three-hole stretch in 4-over par, then fell behind with consecutive bogeys at the turn in the final round and could never catch up. Paul Goydos, who lost a playoff to Sergio Garcia in 2008 when the tour decided to make the 17th the first playoff hole, closed with a 69 to finish alone in third. Luke Donald never got on track, but still managed a 71 for his seventh consecutive top 10. He tied for fourth with Watney (71) and moved to No. 2 in the world, giving England the top two spots in the world ranking. Donald and McDowell wore an all-navy blue outfit in honor of Seve Ballesteros — his famous Sunday colors — who died last week. Toms took a share of the lead on the second hole and never trailed until the finish. It was a long day for both of them — 32 holes for Toms, 27 holes for Choi, because of the rain-delayed third round that had to be completed Sunday morning. One shot by McDowell, along with one wicked bounce, set the tone for the final round — for him and those chasing him.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Club delays honoring of Ohio State players The Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio — An NCAA investigation into rules infractions by the Ohio State football program has delayed release of the team’s 2010 “gold pants” charms, awards that team members receive if they beat rival Michigan. The Gold Pants Club that distributes the trinkets is waiting to see if the NCAA vacates any of last season’s wins, President Jim Lachey, a former Ohio State AllAmerica offensive lineman, told The Columbus Dispatch for a Sunday story. The university-licensed club pays about $50 each for the charms. Ohio State has suspended five players, including quarterback Terrelle Pryor, for the first five games of the 2011 season for violating NCAA rules by selling a Columbus tattoo parlor owner several pieces of memorabilia— including the 2008 gold pants charm Pryor earned for the 2008 season. A letter from a U.S. attorney sent in December stated Ohio State players had received between $12,000 and $15,000 in cash, free tattoos and reduced-price tattoos for providing the merchandise, some of which was signed. Coach Jim Tressel failed to reveal that he knew about the players’ violations, as required by his contract and NCAA rules, and the university suspended him for five games. He also was fined $250,000, required to make a public apology and receive a public reprimand and to at-

tend an NCAA compliance seminar. The NCAA is still investigating the 10-year coach of the Buckeyes, and the university goes before the association’s infractions committee in August. The NCAA has said penalties could include vacating wins from last season. “We’re dealing with some outstanding issues that we’ve never had to deal with before,” Lachey told The Dispatch. “If they vacate the win, it makes no sense to award the gold pants, at least in our minds. And if you hand them out and say, ‘Oh yeah, we’ll need to get them back if the win is vacated’ — I’m pretty sure that wouldn’t be a smart way to go.” Ohio State beat Michigan 37-7 in November for an unprecedented seventh straight win over the Wolverines. Lachey said he’s also considering withholding the charms in the future until players are no longer on the team and have used up their eligibility to play, when selling the items would no longer be an NCAA violation. The practice of awarding the gold pants charms started after coach Francis Schmidt took over the program in 1934. John Hicks, an All-America offensive lineman under coach Woody Hayes, said he was bothered to see team members bartering them. “They are a symbol of being part of a special team, of a bunch of guys who worked hard for a common goal of beating our rival,” he said.

After a weekend to forget weather-wise, there's not much change in the forecast. The same upperlevel, low pressure system that has been stuck over the northeastern corner of the country just won't budge. The showery weather will stick around through Thursday and Friday. However, many spots may get lucky today and avoid the showers. Still, isolated storms should pop up this afternoon, with the chance for a rumble of thunder and heavy downpours. Any sort of luck in avoiding the rain will run out Tuesday and Wednesday. Both days look wet as moisture pours into the region off the Atlantic Ocean. - Ryan Coyle

Formal wedding pictures offer portrait of the time they were taken Dear Abby: Would you please explain to me why today’s brides still take formal bridal portraits? To me, the “W-E” in “wedding” signifies a bride and groom sharing equally in earning a living, raising children and performing household functions. Shouldn’t a wedding portrait be of the two people together? — Shirley in Houston Dear Shirley: Superstition may have something to do with it. It’s supposed to be bad luck for the groom to see the bride’s dress before the wedding, which is when the bridal portrait is usually taken. In years past, couples

DEAR ABBY ADVICE would pose together for their engagement picture, which was then published in the newspaper with their engagement announcement. In the early 20th century, couples did have their wedding portrait taken together. I have a copy of my maternal grandparents’ wedding picture in which my grandfather is sitting (formally dressed) and my grandmother is standing next to him in her wedding dress. After receiving your question, I called celebrity photographer Harry Langdon, and we had an interesting discussion. He explained that the

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

rules for wedding photography are constantly evolving, reflecting the time in which they are taken and the culture of the couple involved. He went on to describe a memorable photo shoot in which he was taking wedding pictures for a royal family. Not understanding the culture, Harry posed the bride standing in front of the groom, thinking it would symbolize the man’s “power and protection of his wife.” A security guard promptly pulled Harry aside and pointed out that in their country, women do not stand in front of the men — they stand behind them. In addition, a very attractive female makeup artist had been booked for the photo session, and the king proceeded to flirt with and ogle her in such an obvious manner that she

CRYPTOQUOTE

became embarrassed, walked out and refused to return. Another couple was the photogenic governor of a state I won’t mention and his bride, a famous beauty. As he was posing them, Harry instructed the governor, “You sit here, and we’ll have your bride stand behind you — the ‘supportive woman behind the man’ ...” “No,” she interrupted. “I’m going to be in front.” “No, wait,” the governor interjected. “I’m the governor. I should be in front!” The proceedings went downhill from there. The disagreement then turned to the lighting Harry was using. The bride was wearing heavy makeup, and after checking the lens, Harry said, “We’ll need to change it

because the man is usually darker in these pictures.” “Why?” asked the bride. “Because the guys are out there, beating the bushes, hunting and gathering, supporting the family,” answered Harry. “What about us women? We’re out there supporting the family, too!” she retorted. It was a difficult session — and no, the marriage didn’t last. — Laughing in California (aka Abby) To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O.

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your feelings for a certain person are as tender as they are deep. This person has a strange power over you, and yet you should resist making him or her the center of your world. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Context will be very important as you mix and mingle with new people. How you are introduced and by whom will matter. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You like someone, and yet you have no desire to be fused to this person like a conjoined twin. Better to make subtle assertions of your autonomy than to have a direct conversation about this now. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll have practical, common-sense ideas for implementing a plan. Brainstorm further, giving ridiculous, impractical and whimsical ideas equal credence. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). As much as you fantasize about an easy life, the truth is that you don’t want life to be served to you on a pretty platter. You’ll make the choices that challenge you and keep you strong. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It will take a major effort for you to stay on track, as your mind flits from subject to subject, trying to tie disparate bits of information together. In the moments of focus you do achieve, you will produce brilliant results. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You will find it easy to learn what you want to know. The trick is in knowing what you want to learn. Give thought to choosing an area of study that is likely to fulfill you on many levels.

HOW TO CONTACT: Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). One relationship is the focus of your day. There was a time in which you understood this person completely. Now it seems you have to work a bit harder to get in sync — but the effort will be worth it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your sense of honor comes into play. You will be loyal to your heritage and represent your ancestors well. If you could see them, they would be nodding in approval. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Long-lasting friendships can be tricky to keep, especially when life pulls you and your friend in opposing directions. But don’t give up. Look for commonalities and parallels that will help you keep in touch. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Most of today’s problems can be solved with more thorough communication. Once everyone gets on the same wavelength, you’ll all sail happily along together. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Sometimes it seems that the world is conspiring to make things more challenging than they have to be. Then again, the dilemmas are so interesting that you wouldn’t trade them for anything! TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 16). You would make any sacrifice for your loved ones, and yet you wisely realize when helping is actually a hindrance. Your sense of boundaries will bring the best possible outcome for all. Libra and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 44, 24, 43, 29 and 10.

Ten percent (10%) of the highest bid is the deposit required at the sale. The amount that must be paid to HUD by the mortgagors or someone acting on their behalf so that the sale may be stayed is the total delinquent amount of $144,908.19 as of April 30, 2011, plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage agreement if payments under the mortgage had not been accelerated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices and for the Foreclosure Commissioner's attendance at the sale, reasonable and customary costs incurred for title and lien record searches, the necessary out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Foreclosure Commissioner for recording documents, a commission for the Foreclosure Commissioner, and all other costs incurred in connection with the foreclosure prior to reinstatement.
