KERSEY – In an effort to better assess the recreation board’s
proposal to sell various ceramic
craft supplies at the park, the
supervisors tabled the item until
next month’s regular meeting.
The recreation board has recommended the sale of the park’s
500 ceramic molds, kilns, pouring table and mixer with the
proceeds being put back into the
park program’s budget line item.
The proposal was for the supplies to be sold as a package deal.
These items were used as part of
the park’s ceramic program.
Fox Township Supervisor
Mike Keller said he recommended passing the motion in support
of the recreation board’s request.
Former Recreation Facilities
Director Debby Agosti said the
molds were donated to the park
and the remaining equipment
cost $200 as part of a grant received by the park. She said the
park has been offering the ceramic program for a few years and it
has become so popular with kids
they had to break it down into
age brackets to accommodate all
of them.
“It’s about the kids. They really enjoy the program,” Agosti
said.
Rob Singer, recreation board
member, said the program will
still be offered.
Don
Ruffner,
recreation
board chairman, said the board
discussed purchasing pre-made
ceramic pieces and possibly using a local ceramic shop to fire
the pieces. He added there is no
way the staff uses all of the 500
molds. Agosti agreed stating they
have not used all of the molds,
only select ones.
Agosti stated they would still
need to utilize the kiln to fire the
pieces after they were painted.
Recreation board member
Terry Krishart stated he would
reconsider his vote after Agosti

Board to reassess sale of Fox park supplies
SALT LAKE CITY
(AP) — In an extraordinary display of Republican chaos, the party’s
most recent presidential
nominees, Mitt Romney
and John McCain, lambasted current frontrunner Donald Trump
on Thursday, calling him
unfit for office and a danger for the nation and the
GOP.
“His is not the temperament of a stable,
thoughtful leader,” Romney declared. He called
Trump “a phony” who is
“playing the American
public for suckers,” a
man whose “imagination
must not be married to
real power.”
Hours later, Trump
lashed back, calling Romney “a choke artist” who
lost to Barack Obama
four years ago only because he was such a poor
candidate.
The
vicious
feud
marked a near-unprecedented scenario pitting
the Republican Party’s
most prominent leaders,
past and present, against
each other as Democrats
begin to unite around
Hillary Clinton.
Underlying the clash

promises
reforms after
abuse report
ALTOONA (AP) — The bishop of a Pennsylvania Catholic
diocese apologized Thursday and
promised reforms two days after
the attorney general released
a scathing report on clergy sex
abuse of children involving allegations against dozens of priests.
“I acknowledge there are
a number of recommendations
made in this report involving
how we respond to allegations
of abuse. I take them seriously,”
Bishop Mark Bartchak said from
a prepared statement at a news
conference.
Bartchak heads the AltoonaJohnstown diocese, home to more
than 90,000 Roman Catholics in
eight counties in central Pennsylvania.
A hotline Attorney General
Kathleen Kane created to solicit
information about additional victims has gotten more than 100
calls since she issued her 147-report based on secret diocesan archives and other sources on Tuesday.
Among other things, Bartchak promised to publish a list of
all priests who are the subject of
credible abuse allegations on the
diocesan website, as well as their
ministerial status. The bishop
also promised a “full review of
our diocesan policies and procedures regarding child protection
and will make all changes that
should be made.”
The diocese will review its
training, background checks and
procedures for reporting of abuse
allegations to law enforcement.
It will also examine the diocesan
review board, whose members

Aide to charged Pennsylvania A sign of spring?
AG gets jail for email snooping
By Maryclaire Dale
Associated Press
NORRISTOWN (AP) — An
aide to embattled Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen
Kane was sentenced to three to
six months in jail Thursday for
illegally accessing emails to keep
tabs on a grand jury probe of his
boss.
Patrick “Rocco” Reese, 48, a
former small-town police chief
in northeastern Pennsylvania,
was allowed to remain free while
he appeals the contempt of court
verdict. He also remains on the
state payroll, earning nearly
$100,000 a year as Kane’s driver
and security chief.
“In all likelihood, (Reese) was
ordered to do this by his boss,
Kathleen Kane,” said Assistant
District Attorney Thomas W. Mc-
Goldrick of Montgomery County.
“That is not an excuse. He should
have refused any (such) directive
that came from her.”
In court, Reese declined to
address Common Pleas Judge
William R. Carpenter, whose
protection order he violated. Reese’s lawyer, William Fetterhoff,
said his client would appeal. He
has called the contempt finding
“flawed and dangerous,” and said
Reese never knew of the protection order.
Kane also backs Reese, whom
she has declined to suspend. In a
statement Thursday, Kane said
she viewed Carpenter’s protective order as both unconstitutional and an “attempt to shield
the emails of a few.”
Reese, she said, “was doing

The first day of spring may not be until Sunday, March 20, but signs of the
upcoming change of seasons are already becoming more evident. It is common lore that the reappearance of robins is a sign of spring. While that may
not truthfully be the case, as a number of the birds reportedly remain in the
state year round, they have been visible in increasing numbers lately, giving
residents hope that spring really is right around the corner.

Clinton email probe fraught with political consequences
ment and the U.S. intelligence community are separately investigating whether
rules or laws were broken.
“It will always be either
too soon or too late,” said
Stephen Vladeck, an American University law professor and national security
expert who has followed the
case. “The best the Justice
Department can do is try to
accept that there will be political noise no matter what,
and try to figure out what
makes the most sense from
their institutional perspective.”
“Any political appointee
is going to be sensitive to the
electoral calendar,” he added. “The fine line is between
being sensitive and being
beholden to it.”
Lynch told the AP last
month that the investigation
involves career lawyers from
the Justice Department and
is being done independently and without regard for
politics. She told Fox News
this week that there was no
“artificial deadline” for com-
pleting the investigation.
FBI Director James
Comey declined to discuss
the case with Congress during an appearance on Capitol Hill this week, saying
only that he was very close
personally to the matter “to
ensure that we have the resources we need, including
people and technology, and
that it’s done the way the
FBI tries to do it all of its
work: independently, competently and promptly.”
The Washington Post
reported Wednesday that
the Justice Department
has granted immunity to
the staffer who set up the
server, Bryan Pagliano, so
that he would be willing to
speak with investigators.
A person familiar with the
matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity in order
to discuss an ongoing investigation, confirmed to the
AP that Pagliano had been
offered immunity “some
time ago.” Pagliano had previously asserted his Fifth
Amendment right against

Kane said. Hogan died
in 2005 but Adamec and
his attorney have denied
that he failed to address
the allegations promptly
or properly.
Kane spokesman Jeff
Johnson said the hotline
is meant to field information that could lead to
criminal charges. Kane’s
report didn’t recommend
any because she said the
victims were either too
reluctant, the accused
priests had died, or the
statute of limitations had
run out on the allegations.
“This Diocese will
continue to report to law
enforcement, in writing,
all allegations it receives
of any type of sexual misconduct involving a minor
by any clergy or religious
(living or deceased),” the
bishop’s statement said.
That will be done regardless of when the abuse allegedly occurred, whether
the alleged victim is still
a minor, and whether the
allegation has already
been reported by someone else.
Bartchak also said
he’ll deliver a special
message to parishioners
this weekend and schedule special prayer services for mercy in the coming weeks.

course, makes me happy.”
Seth’s father, Josh
Apel, who choked back
tears in November while
addressing the media,
was in much better spirits Wednesday. He happily described how Seth
learned the baseball maneuver after watching a
few online videos.
“It’s really nice to see
this,” he said. “He’s a lot
more coordinated than I
ever was. This hasn’t really slowed him down.”
Seth’s mother, Angie Apel, stood back and
grinned as she took it all
in.
“These are special
moments,” she said.
Casey signed a few
baseball cards for Seth
and gave him a bobblehead, a pair of batting
gloves and an autographed baseball that
reads: “To Seth, All my
best to you buddy. Have
fun!”
He invited Seth’s
family to visit him at the
MLB Network studio in
New Jersey.
“You really are an inspiration,” Casey said.
“You’ve got such a positive attitude. Keep at it.”
After Casey departed,
the boy said: “That was
pretty cool.”

“That’s the plan,”
Seth responded.
Seth lifted his right

self-incrimination to refuse
to answer questions from
lawmakers investigating the
server setup.
A spokesman for the
Clinton campaign, Brian
Fallon, said the campaign
is pleased Pagliano is cooperating. Fallon said Clinton
herself has offered to meet
with investigators.
On Thursday, Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley
and Ron Johnson, chairmen of the Senate Judiciary
and Homeland Security and
Governmental Affairs committees, respectively, asked
the Justice Department for a
copy of the immunity agreement.
Also complicating the
timing of any decision or
public announcement is the
chance that Clinton or her
former top aides could be
deposed by private lawyers
in coming weeks. A federal
judge last week opened the
door to such depositions as
part of a lawsuit by Judicial
Watch, a conservative legal
group. It’s not clear what impact, if any, those interviews
might have on the Justice
Department investigation,
but presumably federal
agents would be interested
in whatever Clinton or others say under oath.
There’s no question
there are obvious political
sensitivities. Though it’s extraordinary for a presidential candidate to be implicated in a federal investigation,
there are instances of it happening to elected officials
during campaigns.

WASHINGTON (AP)
— The Justice Department
will have to decide whether
Hillary Clinton or any of
her subordinates could face
legal consequences for her
use of a private email server,
a decision whose timing is
fraught with serious political repercussions.
Even though Attorney
General Loretta Lynch has
said there is no “artificial
deadline” for concluding the
investigation, the Obama
administration is in the unenviable position of conducting an election-year probe
that, no matter the outcome
or reassurances to the contrary, will result in grievances about its impact on
the presidential election.
One year ago, The Associated Press reported its
discovery of Clinton’s private email server, which
she ran in the basement of
her home in Chappaqua,
New York, to use exclusively
for her work-related emails
while she was secretary of
state. Clinton has emerged
from the Super Tuesday primaries earlier this week as
the presumptive Democratic
nominee for the presidency.
Republican candidate
Donald Trump has indicated he plans to target Clinton
over the email investigations. Trump said Thursday
he looked forward to running against Clinton, “assuming she’s allowed to run,
assuming she’s not arrested
for the email situation.” He
added, “Let’s assume the
Democrats will protect her.”
The FBI for months has
investigated whether sensitive information that flowed
through Clinton’s email
server was mishandled.
The State Department has
acknowledged that some
emails included classified
information, including at
the top-secret level, though
Clinton has said she never
sent or received anything
that was marked classified
at the time. The inspectors

Man charged in son’s death
23 years after shaking him
By Michael Rubinkam

Christopher Barber
served nearly five years in
a Pennsylvania prison in
the 1990s for shaking his
fussy baby boy and flinging him onto a couch so
hard that he suffered catastrophic brain damage.
Now Barber is behind
bars again, charged with
homicide, following his
son’s death at age 23 after
he lingered in a vegetative state the rest of his
life, hooked to a breathing
machine and fed through
a tube.
Barber, 46, was arraigned Wednesday and
jailed without bail. Prosecutors had him arrested
after a pathologist ruled
Christopher
Kostenbader’s death last May a
homicide, saying he succumbed to “complications
due to the severe head injury that occurred in 1991
at the hands of the defendant.”

Question:
Trump
it makes sense,” he told
The Associated Press.
In the most notable
verbal attacks against
Trump to date, Romney
and his 2012 running
mate, House Speaker
Paul Ryan, urged voters
in the strongest terms
to shun the former reality television star for
the good of country and
party.
The GOP’s 2008 nominee, Arizona Sen. McCain, joined in, raising
“many concerns about
Mr. Trump’s uninformed
and indeed dangerous
statements on national
security issues.” That
echoes the worries of
dozens of leading conservative defense and foreign policy officials.
As Kaufman suggested, Romney embraced
what might seem a longshot approach to deny
Trump the delegates necessary to secure the nomination, though he did
not call on Republicans
to unify behind a single
alternative.
“Given the current
delegate selection process, this means that I
would vote for Marco Rubio in Florida, for John
Kasich in Ohio and for
Ted Cruz or whichever one of the other two
contenders has the best
chance of beating Mr.
Trump in a given state,”
Romney said.
Romney
advisers
have recently sought information on a contested
convention, though there
appeared to be no concrete planning for that
possibility and it was
unclear whether their efforts signaled Romney’s
own interest in becoming the GOP nominee
through a floor fight, according to a Republican
familiar with the efforts.
That person was not authorized to discuss the
plans publicly and spoke
only on condition of anonymity.
Another idea rumbling through power
corridors in Washington
was the prospect of a late
third-party candidate to
represent more mainstream conservatives.
Former Texas Gov.
Rick Perry has been approached by “a mixture of
people” about being part
of a third-party bid, said
Jeff Miller, who managed
Perry’s failed GOP presidential campaign. But
Miller said Perry found
the idea “ludicrous.”
Suggesting
that
Romney may continue
to have 2016 ambitions
of his own, Trump said
the 2012 nominee had
“chickened out” earlier
when he understood he’d
be going up against the
billionaire businessman.
“He doesn’t have
what it takes to be president,” Trump said at a
Portland, Maine, rally. “I
made so much more money than Mitt.”
Romney’s
views
are irrelevant, he said.
“Look, Mitt is a failed
candidate.”
ing investigated for allegedly leaking evidence
from a 2009 investigation
to a newspaper reporter.
In August, Montgomery County authorities
charged Kane with perjury, obstruction and other
crimes after Carpenter
referred the grand jury’s
findings to investigators
there.
Kane has pleaded not
guilty. Her term is up next
January, and she is not
The back-and-forth
came as the Republican
candidates prepared for
their first post-Super
Tuesday debate, Thursday night in Detroit.
Four years ago, Romney and Trump stood
side by side in Las Vegas, with Trump saying it was a “real honor
and privilege” to endorse
Romney’s White House
bid. Romney at the time
praised Trump’s ability
to “understand how our
economy works and to
create jobs for the American people.”
On Thursday, Trump
said Romney “was begging me” for an endorsement that year.
“I could have said,
‘Mitt, drop to your knees.’
He would have dropped
to his knees,” Trump
said.
Earlier Thursday, in
Utah, Romney assailed
Trump’s temperament,
his business acumen and
his ability to keep America safe.
“If we Republicans
choose Donald Trump as
our nominee, the prospects for a safe and prosperous future are greatly
diminished,” he said.
During his Capitol
Hill press conference,
Ryan dismissed comments Trump made this
week that if the Wisconsin Republican didn’t get
along with him, Ryan
would “pay a big price.”
“I just laughed out
loud,” Ryan told reporters. “Sometimes, reality
is stranger than fiction
around here these days.”
The speaker added
that “conservatism is being disfigured” by some of
Trump’s ideas and statements.
Voters have not so far
responded to such warnings.
Trump padded his
delegate lead with victories in seven Super Tuesday contests, with Cruz
claiming three states and
Florida Sen. Rubio picking up his first victory of
the 2016 race.
Still, the front-runner is not yet on track to
claim the nomination before the party’s national
gathering in July, according to an Associated
Press delegate count. He
has won 46 percent of the
delegates awarded so far,
and he would have to increase that to 51 percent
in the remaining primaries.
The GOP mayhem
contrasts sharply with
a clearer picture on the
Democratic side, where
Clinton is drawing broad
support from voters and
her party’s leaders. Rival Sen. Bernie Sanders
has vowed to keep up his
fight, though his path to
the nomination has become exceedingly narrow.
running for re-election.
Carpenter said the
fact Reese has a law enforcement
background
made the crime even
worse. He spent 25 years
on the police force in Dunmore, near Kane’s hometown of Scranton, and was
its chief when he left to
work for Kane.
“It was intentional. He
knew that it was wrong.
He didn’t care,” Carpenter
said.

months before the 2008 election and found guilty just
days before Election Day. He
lost the race, and the Justice Department ultimately
moved to reverse the conviction amid revelations of
withheld evidence.
Former District of Columbia Mayor Vincent
Gray was identified in
court as having knowledge
of an “off-the-books” shadow campaign during a campaign finance plea hearing
for a local businessman
weeks before the 2014 mayoral primary. Gray lost the
election, but prosecutors
never charged him.
Then-Attorney
General Eric Holder directed
in 2012 that “politics must
play no role” in investigations or criminal charges, and said prosecutors
should not choreograph
criminal charges or investigations for the purpose of
affecting an election. There
is no bright line, but investigators ideally will look to
conclude an investigation
well before Election Day
over concerns that a signification action could sway
the outcome or at least
have that appearance, said
Justin Shur, a former Justice Department public corruption prosecutor.
“There’s a concern
where you’re going to take
some investigative step and
it’s going to be reported on
and it’s going to get out in
the public domain and it’s
going to have some impact
on the election,” Shur said.
While Lynch is technically correct there is no
artificial deadline for resolving the Clinton investigation, Vladeck said the
reality is more nuanced.
“That’s not the same
thing as saying that external factors aren’t weighing
in some of the calculus,” he
said.

The order banned
Kane’s aides from accessing the office email server

Instead, Reese kept

“We have a sweet, sweet dog
over here,” said Briana Schatz
from the Elk County Humane Society. Briana sent us a photo of a
fine looking pup yesterday afternoon, they nicknamed her “Renny.” Animal Control found her, she
was weak and thin but she’s very
healthy now. No one ever claimed
her — she is ready for adoption.
The folks at the center said this
little dog came in with her sister,
“Addi,” who was adopted straightaway — she misses her. That’s
true, when dogs are bonded with
other pets or people it is tough to
suddenly be alone. So, do you need
a best friend? If so, the gals want
to help Miss Renny find you. To
help make this possible, they offered to reduce Renny’s adoption
fee to half-price. However, her
clock is ticking, you have until the
end of March to come get this little girl. She’s also completely upto-date on all of her shots for an
entire year and spayed. The center is not far, just go down Brusselles Street, turn right on Trout

to 1029 East Eschbach Rd., St.

Today in History
Today is Friday, March 4,
the 64th day of 2016. There
are 302 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On March 4, 1966, John
Lennon of The Beatles was
quoted in the London Evening Standard as saying,
"We're more popular than
Jesus now; I don't know
which will go first — rock 'n'
roll or Christianity." (After
his comments caused an angry backlash in the United
States, Lennon sought to
clarify his remarks, telling reporters, "If I had said
television was more popular
than Jesus, I might have
got away with it.")
On this date:
In 1791, Vermont became
the 14th state.
In 1913, the "Buffalo
nickel" officially went into
circulation.
In 1930, Coolidge Dam in
Arizona was dedicated by
its namesake, former President Calvin Coolidge.
In 1940, Kings Canyon
National Park in California
was established.
In 1960, an explosivesladen French freighter, La
Coubre, exploded in Havana's harbor, killing at
least 75 people.
In 1974, the first issue
of People magazine, then
called People Weekly, was
published by Time-Life Inc.;
on the cover was actress
Mia Farrow.
In 1996, comedian Minnie Pearl died in Nashville,
Tennessee, at age 83.
Ten years ago: President
George W. Bush, visiting
Islamabad, praised Pakistan's fight against terrorism as unfaltering, but
turned down an appeal for
the same civilian nuclear
help the United States intended to give India.
One year ago: The trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev
(joh-HAHR' tsahr-NEYE'ehv), charged in the Boston
Marathon bombing, began
with an acknowledgement
from his attorney that the
21-year-old former college
student committed the
crime but did not deserve
to die due to the malevolent influence of his dead
older brother, Tamerlan
(TAM'-ehr-luhn); prosecutors called to the witness
stand three women who
suffered severe injuries
in the blasts. The Justice
Department cleared Darren Wilson, a white former
Ferguson, Missouri, police
officer, in the fatal shooting of Michael Brown, an
unarmed black 18-year-old,
but also issued a scathing
report calling for sweeping
changes in city law enforcement practices. A House
committee
investigating
the Benghazi, Libya, attacks issued subpoenas for
the emails of Hillary Rodham Clinton; the subpoenas
from the Republican-led
Select Committee on Benghazi came the same day The

the existence of a personal

Bird poop apparently caused
NY nuclear reactor outage
By Michael Virtanen
Associated Press
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) —
Bird poop was the likely
cause of a December shutdown at a nuclear power
plant outside New York City,
according to the operator.
An Indian Point reactor
safely shut down for three
days starting Dec. 14 following an electrical disturbance
on outdoor high voltage
transmission lines, Entergy
Corp. said. An outside expert is analyzing whether
what’s technically called bird
“streaming” was the culprit.
In a report to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission last month, the New
Orleans-based company said
the automatic reactor shut-

down was apparently from
bird feces that caused an
electric arc between wires on
a feeder line at a transmission tower.
“If it has nowhere to send
its electricity, the generator
senses that and automatically shuts down,” Entergy
spokesman Jerry Nappi said.
Plant managers told
the NRC they were revising
preventive maintenance for
additional inspection and
cleaning and installing bird
guards on transmission towers.
Nappi said he couldn’t
recall a similar incident in
the past several years from
birds at Indian Point, which
is located along the Hudson
River north of New York City.
He didn’t immediately know
whether a carcass was found
nearby or what type of bird
was suspected.

Feds: Pennsylvania man
pirated movie audio at drive-in
PITTSBURGH
(AP)
— A western Pennsylvania accused of pirating audio of the Cameron
Diaz movie “Sex Tape” at
a Pittsburgh-area drive-in
was arraigned Thursday
on charges stemming from
what prosecutors said was
part of a broader conspiracy to sell bootleg movies
online.
Brian Ridley, 38, of
Butler, was allowed to remain free on bond after his
appearance before a federal
magistrate in Pittsburgh.
Ridley’s federal public defender, Michael Novara,
declined comment.
Ridley allegedly recorded the audio at the
Dependable Drive-In in
Moon Township back in
July 2014, federal prosecutors said in an indictment
handed down last month.
Others unnamed in the
indictment would use camcorders to video record the
movies at walk-in theaters.
Ridley and others recorded
the audio from drive-ins,
where theaters now use
FM radio broadcasts to
send higher quality sound
signals to viewers’ cars, authorities said.
The video and audio
recordings would both be
sent over the Internet to
another unnamed conspirator who would sync the
video and audio recordings
so the bootlegged movies
could be sold online.
Rick Glaus, who owns
the drive-in, said industry
trade groups often alert
theater owners to piracy.
“The Motion Picture
Association of America
called and said if you see
a car with the license
number come in, call the
Moon police,” Glaus told
the Pittsburgh TribuneReview after last month’s
indictment. “That’s what
we did.”
Ridley is accused of
helping the others pirate
an unspecified number of
movies between August
2011 and July 2014, the indictment said.
Park
were locked during the
weekend due to anticipated inclement weather
although they did not predict the weather would
improve Sunday and did
not send anyone to the
park to open them.
According to Ruffner,
there is an issue with the
men’s restroom door as
it bangs open and shut
and they did not want to
risk damaging the door
any further with the bad
weather and losing heat
from it being consistently
blown open.
Agosti replied that the
heat loss is not an issue as
it is controlled on the second floor of the park building.
Ruffner emphasized
the restrooms will soon
return to their full availability.
He also requested the
township grade the area
between the municipal
building and the park.
The township will
be reviewing an updated
draft copy of the Water
System Feasibility Report
received from Nittany Engineers for the Toby Water
System during a public
meeting to be held at the
Fox Township Senior Center
The senior center was
chosen as it can accommodate more people than
the municipal building
meeting room. There are
currently 160 Toby Water
customers.
Dates for the meeting are narrowed down to
March 15 and 22 depending on the availability
of the senior center. The
meeting will begin at 6
p.m.
During the meeting it
was noted that no heavy
hauling is permitted on
township roads until further notice due to weather
conditions. Haulers may
contact the roadmaster
to check on the status of
their particular road for
the day.
Also on the meeting
agenda were the following:
The supervisors approved payment of bills
totaling $60,068.96.
A landfill inspection report dated Feb. 2 is
available for review.
Seven applications
for use of park facilities
were approved, most of
which were for family reunions. One of the request
was for the Relay for Life
taking place June 11-12 at
the park.
An Easter event featuring the Easter Bunny
and an egg hunt is being
held at the park on March
20 at 2 p.m. In case of
inclement weather the
event will be moved to the
community building.

Succeeding at STEM Design Challenge
Three-student team places second
Students from Fox Township, Bennetts Valley, and
South St. Marys Street Elementary schools participated in this year’s STEM Design challenge at Port
Allegheny High School on Tuesday, March 1. Students
were challenged to build a structure that was at least
one meter tall and were asked to demonstrate how
their structure could hold weight. This year, all the St.
Marys teams ended up in the top 10 out of approximately 30 teams and one of the SMASD teams placed
second. That team was the St. Marys Area Elementary
Enrichment Team, shown above, consisting of Caitlin
Blessel from Fox Twp. Elementary, Eli Rippey from
Bennetts Valley Elementary, and Liam Brem from
South St. Marys Street. Congratulations to all the
students who participated!

The above photo is of Jack Herbstritt, who was
a night custodian at South St. Marys. Some high
school students will likely probably remember
Herbstritt who retired about five years ago when
he was about 81 years old!
Kindergarten students at Fox Township Elementary finished up their math unit on measuring by
putting their new knowledge to work and measuring ingredients to bake a cake in a crockpot.
Having fun with the Pulsera Project
Students at all the elementary schools recently participated in the Pulsera
Project. This project has been orchestrated by secondary Spanish teacher/technology coach Mrs. Jen Tamburlin for many years. This year, however, elementary
students were able to get in on the fun! Pulseras are hand-woven bracelets
that are made by Nicaraguan youths. Each colorful pulsera is unique and comes
with a photo and signature of the artist. Every time a pulsera is sold, a young
Nicaraguan artist benefits!
South St. Marys Street Elementary Student Council representatives recently
spent some time with the residents of Elk Haven Nursing Home making crafts
for Valentine’s Day and playing Bingo. The kids interacted so well with the residents and everyone had such a great time. The event was organized by teacher
Erin Hanslovan.

How resilient are you? Do you bounce back
well after bad events happen? Are you a halfempty or half-full type of person? Can you look
past the potential problem and see hope, or do
you only see what’s immediately in front of you?
How you answer can determine how resilient
you actually are.
Resiliency has to do with the ability of something to return to its original shape after it has
been pulled, stretched, press or bent. It can also
be understood as having that ability to recover
readily from illness, depression, adversity or
trials. Some have it, some don’t.
Being resilient is not without struggle or
doubt. Just because a person is resilient doesn’t
mean that it’s easy. We’re not born with it; it
must be learned and practiced. One more often
sees a bigger picture then just the immediate
situation. From that position they’re able to
see purpose, hope, and exercise endurance that

RESILIENCY
By Pastor B.J. Knefley
FLEMING & HAINES, INC.
takes them through to the end. Resiliency is extremely important in any recovery process. It
takes us out of our comfort zones and into new
experiences, which may or may not be pleasant.
Sadly, many don’t seem to have the ability or desire to push through their problems. I
don’t know if it’s the age that we live in or if
something else is going on, but people give up
to quickly. There is a sense of hopelessness that
people carry. Rather than an attitude of “I think
I can”, some struggle with, “I think I can’t”. Defeat comes even before they tried because in
their mind, they’ve already given up.
Ultimately, resiliency is connected to a
greater sense of purpose. We have to practice it
and believe it. Life can be hard. Bad things can
happen to us. But if we wallow in self-pity and
degradation nothing will change. Remember, it
may not be your fault that you’re down, but it is
your fault if you don’t get back up and try again.
Think about it.

Crosby, Malkin help Pens frustrate Lundqvist, Rangers
PITTSBURGH (AP)
— Sidney Crosby, Evgeni
Malkin and Patric Hornqvist each scored in the
final 2:13 of the second
period, leading the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 4-1
victory over the New York
Rangers on Thursday
night.
Malkin added two
assists and Phil Kessel
scored into an empty net
for the Penguins, who
frustrated Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist
midway through the second and chased him with
a three-goal flurry at the
end of the period.
Hornqvist has five
goals in his last three
games for Pittsburgh,
which won for the 10th
time in 12 home games
and has a victory in four
of six overall.
Marc-Andre
Fleury
stopped 27 shots for the
Penguins and is one away
from becoming the 20th
goalie in NHL history to
reach 350 wins.
Chris Kreider scored
his 14th for the Rangers,
whose three-game win
streak ended. New York
was unable to win for
the sixth time in seven
road games after a previous stretch that saw the
Rangers win just four
times in 18 games away
from home.
Pittsburgh won just
two of the previous 13
meetings (1-11-1) against
the Rangers, who sought
a fifth consecutive win
against their division rivals. The Rangers were
trying to win five straight
against Pittsburgh for the
third time in franchise
history, and first since the
1973-74 season.
Lundqvist
started
each of the last 13 games
against Pittsburgh and
allowed just three goals
on 119 shots during the
previous four meetings.
Thar included a 34-save
effort last month for his
fourth career shutout
against the Penguins. He
made 19 saves through
two periods Thursday
before Antti Raanta took
over and stopped three
shots in the third.
Crosby registered just
six points in his previous 13 meetings against
the Rangers, including
two in nine home games.
Malkin, who missed the
last meeting against New
York with a lower-body
injury, was held without a
goal for each of the previous six against the Rangers.
Lundqvist was whistled for delay of game
during an odd second-period sequence in which he
threw his own net off its
moorings to get a stoppage
in play. He was visibly
upset following an early
Penguins 2-on-1 rush and
tossed his net into the end
boards as Pittsburgh reentered the zone seconds
later, drawing the ire of
the home fans. Pittsburgh
was given a power play,
but squandered the advantage after Kessel was
called for slashing.
Kreider scored the
game’s first goal with 3:10
left in the second period,
but Crosby, Malkin and
Hornqvist answered for
Pittsburgh with three
goals in 2:36.
Crosby’s initial shot
bounced off the end boards
and the Penguins captain, circling around the
net, redirected the puck
toward the goal, where it

Patric Hornqvist scored in the final 2:13 of the second
period, leading the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 4-1 victory
over the New York Rangers on Thursday night.
hit off Lundqvist’s skate
and went across the line.
Malkin scored 21 seconds later, beating Lundqvist with a sharp wrister after Dan Girardi’s
blocked shot.
Pittsburgh scored a
power-play goal with 34
seconds left in the period
when Hornqvist tipped
Kessel’s point shot behind
Lundqvist, giving Pittsburgh a 3-1 lead through
two periods.
Pittsburgh had the
best chance of a scoreless
opening period, but Lundqvist denied Nick Bonino’s chance with a sliding,
post-to-post blocker save.
NOTES:
Rangers
F Rick Nash skated for
the first time in a month
on Thursday. He hasn’t
played since Jan. 22,
missing his 17th game
with a bone bruise in
his left leg. ... Rangers D

... Penguins D Justin
Schultz practiced Thursday for the first time
since he was acquired in
a trade with Edmonton,
but was scratched against
the Rangers. ... Penguins

Floyd solid, Smoak homers as Blue Jays beat Pirates
BRADENTON, Fla.
(AP) — Finally healthy
after a three-year battle
with injuries, right-hander Gavin Floyd turned in
a solid start for the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday
in a 10-8 win against the
Pittsburgh Pirates.
Justin Smoak hit a
towering solo home run
for the Blue Jays. The ball
rode a light breeze and
cleared the concourse in
right-center field.
Floyd worked two innings and gave up one run
on two hits. He walked
one and struck out two.
The 33-year-old Floyd
had Tommy John surgery
in 2013. While working
his way back, he twice
snapped a bone in his elbow.
“I expect to attack,
but that wasn’t the case
today,” Floyd said. “I’ll
make adjustments and
start making quality
pitches. I knew I was going to be amped up. The
longer you’re out there,
the more you calm down.”
Floyd has pitched a
total of 21 games in the
majors over the last three
seasons with the White
Sox, Braves and Indians.
He has a shot to make Toronto’s rotation, but could
end up in the bullpen.
“I want to be a starter.
That’s my comfort zone,”
he said. “I’m treating this
as a spring when I’m getting ready for the season.
It’s all going to play out.
Whether I’m in the bullpen of the starting rotation, I’m just glad to be
back.”
Mike Morse’s RBI
double gave the Pirates
a 1-0 lead in the first inning.
The Blue Jays put six
straight runners on base
with two outs in the second and scored four runs
off Pirates newcomer Jon
Niese. Michael Saunders
hit a two-run single.
STARTING TIME
Niese worked two innings and gave up four
runs on five hits. He was
acquired in December in
a trade that sent 2B Neil
Walker to the New York
Mets.
RHP Ryan Vogelsong,
who will fill either the No.
4 or 5 spot in the rotation,
tossed two scoreless innings. He struck out two.
“Felt pretty good,” Vogelsong said. “I’ll take it.
A good way to start.”
SWITCH PITCHER
Blue Jays reliever Pat
Venditte, a switch-pitcher,
faced two switch-hitters
in a perfect sixth inning.
Venditte uses a sixfingered glove that allows him to switch arms
on the fly without getting
a different mitt. In 2008,
MLB passed the “Venditte
rule,” which mandates
switch-pitchers
must
first visually signal which
arm their use against a
switch-hitter, who then
can choose which way to
bat.
Venditte
indicated
he’d throw lefty against
Josh Bell and Pedro Florimon, who both chose to
hit from the right side.
Bell flied out to center
and Florimon grounded
out. The inning ended
when Venditte got Reese
McGuire, a lefty hitter, to
roll out.
“We really want to see
how he is against lefties,”
manager John Gibbons
said. “We know we can
use him a lot because he
throws with both arms.”
The Blue Jays picked
up Venditte, 30, off waivers from Oakland in the
offseason. He had a 4.40
ERA and 23 strikeouts
in 26 outings (28 2/3 innings) for the A’s.
“From what we see
this spring, we’ll get a
better idea of who he is,”
Gibbons said. “We’ve got
to watch his stuff. It’s getting later in camp and
hitters are starting to get
their timing down. He’s
got a different arm angle,
down a little bit. He’s not
extreme like some guys,
but it’s a different look
and hitters don’t always
like that. So, we’ll see.”
IF AT THIRD ...
The Pirates are exploring their options in
case third baseman Jung
Ho Kang (leg surgery) is
not ready by opening day.
Jason Rogers started at
third against the Blue
Jays.
In the first inning,
Rogers was slow to react
to Matt Dominguez’s slow
roller and it went for an
infield single.
Rogers,
who
was
traded to Pittsburgh in
December, played outfield
and first base with the
Milwaukee Brewers. He’s
appeared in only three
games in the majors at
third.
“It’s something I work
on every day, trying to get
the footwork down,” Rog-
ers said. “It’s all about
preparation.”
The Pirates are intrigued by Rogers’ bat —
he hit .286 with four homers in 94 games with the
Brewers — which could
make him a valuable
bench player.
UP NEXT
Blue Jays: LHP J.A.
Happ, who signed a threeyear, $36 million deal in
the offseason, will start
on Friday against Baltimore. The Orioles will
start RHP Vance Worley,
who was Happ’s teammate last season in Pittsburgh.
Pirates: LHP Francisco Liriano, who went
12-7 with a 3.28 ERA
last season, will make his
first spring start on Friday against the Minnesota Twins. Closer Mark
Melancon and free-agent
pickup Neftali Feliz also
are scheduled to pitch.
No. 14 Maryland blows past Illinois 81-55 in home finale
COLLEGE PARK, Md.
(AP) — Melo Trimble and
Jake Layman scored 18
points each, and No. 14
Maryland closed out its
home schedule with its
best game in weeks, an
81-55 rout of Illinois on
Thursday night.
Jared Nickens and
Robert Carter Jr. had 14
points apiece for the Terrapins, who never trailed.
Maryland (24-6, 12-5 Big
Ten) had lost three of four
since climbing to No. 2 in
the AP poll in early February.
Trimble made half
of his 14 shots, collected
eight rebounds and added
five assists. The standout
sophomore guard was 11
for 37 from the field over
the previous four games.
Maverick
Morgan
reached career highs with
21 points and 10 rebounds
for Illinois (13-17, 5-12).
The junior center made 10
of his 13 field goal tries, but
his teammates were a collective 12 for 44, including
5 for 20 from 3-point range.
Malcolm Hill, who
came in averaging 18.2
points per game for the Illini, finished with 10 after
making just one basket before halftime.
Maryland led 33-25
early in the second half before Trimble, Layman and
Nickens drilled successive
3-pointers to boost the margin to 17 points.
After Illinois closed to
45-34, Trimble scored six
points in a 14-2 spree that
put the Terrapins ahead by
23 with 8:33 remaining.
Maryland went 14 for
25 from beyond the arc, led
by Nickens (4 for 7) and
Layman (3 for 5), who was
playing in his final college
home game.
The Terrapins finished
16-1 at home, the lone defeat against Wisconsin on
Feb. 13.

The Bulldogs were
up 43-34 early in the second half, yet trailed 63-60
on Sindarius Thornwell’s
driving bucket with 3:31
to go. That’s when Georgia (16-12, 9-8 Southeastern Conference) got going
and finished the game on a
14-9 burst to win its second
straight game.
Frazier drove the lane
and banked home the winning bucket. After Yante
Maten put back Frazier’s
miss, Georgia’s leading
scorer followed with a
dead-on 3-pointer to give
the Bulldogs a 69-63 lead
with 1:13 to play.
South Carolina (23-7,
10-7) could not respond.
Frazier finished with
19 points, nine rebounds
and seven assists. Maten
had 13 points for Georgia.
The Gamecocks were
once certain locks for the
NCAA tournament, but
they’ve lost four of their
past six.
Mindaugas
Kacinas
had 21 points to lead South
Carolina. Thornwell finished with 16 points. Leading scorer Michael Carrera
had 13 points on 5-of-21
shooting in his final home
game.
Georgia built a ninepoint lead until the Gamecocks went on a 21-7 run to
pull in front 55-50. Georgia’s defense and shooting kicked in once more,
Gaines hitting a 3-pointer
that tied things once again.
South Carolina came in
with a puncher’s chance at
a share of the SEC crown
and started strongly as
Kacinas hit two 3-pointers
on the way to an 8-2 lead.
But the Bulldogs gradually
found holes in the Gamecocks defense and took full
advantage with a 28-14
surge to pull in front 30-22.
Gaines did about everything he wanted in the
first 20 minutes with 14
points, surpassing his season average of 13.5.
Carrera struggled to
find his stroke in the opening half as he made just 3
of 13 shots from the field.
He missed all five of his
attempts from behind the
arc. It didn’t get much better after the break and he
ended 1 of 10 on long-range
shooting.

Tennessee women beat Arkansas
68-51 to bolster resume
JACKSONVILLE,
Fla. (AP) — Diamond
DeShields
scored
15
points, Jaime Nared added 11 and Tennessee bolstered its postseason resume by beating Arkansas
68-51 on Thursday in the
Southeastern Conference
women’s tournament.
The seventh-seeded
Lady Vols advanced to
play No. 2 seed and 15thranked Texas A&M on
Friday.
Tennessee can only
hope to play with the
same intensity it did
against the 10th-seeded
Razorbacks (12-18). The
Lady Vols (18-12) opened
up a double-digit lead in
the first quarter and really pulled away in the
third. DeShields scored
eight straight points late
in the third as the Lady
Vols extended their advantage to 52-35.
For lengthy stretches
in both halves, Tennessee
looked every bit like an
eight-time national champion and nothing like the
team that set a school record for losses this season
and dropped out of the
Top 25 for the first time
since 1985.
Although the Lady
Vols lost eight of their
final 14 regular-season
games, they still appeared
to be a lock for the NCAA
Tournament. A loss to Arkansas, though, surely
would have weakened
their chances.
DeShields, Nared and
company never let it seem
like a possibility, leading
from start to finish in a
game that wasn’t even re-
ally as close as the final
margin of victory.
Jordan
Reynolds
chipped in 10 points for
Tennessee, and the Lady
Vols’ bench finished with
21 points.
Devin Cosper led
the Razorbacks with 20
points and Jessica Jackson added 12.
No. 21 Miami 77,
Pittsburgh 55
GREENSBORO, N.C.
(AP) — Adrienne Motley
scored 19 points, Keyona
Hayes made all nine of
her shots for 18 points
and No. 21 Miami defeated 12th-seeded Pittsburgh 77-55 on Thursday
in the second round of the
ACC Tournament.
The fifth-seeded Hurricanes (23-7) face No. 14
Florida State, the fourthseed, in the quarterfinals
on Friday. The Seminoles
defeated Miami 70-67 in
the regular-season finale
on Sunday.
Led by Hayes, who is
16 for 16 in two games
against the Panthers this
season, the Hurricanes
shot a season-high 60 percent (33 for 55), eclipsing
the 53 percent they made
in the earlier 24-point win
over the Panthers.
Miami shot 69 percent
in taking an 18-12 lead after one quarter and closed
the second with an 18-4
run to lead 38-21 at the
half. The Hurricanes shot
63 percent, their best half
of the season.
Yacine Diop and Brenna Wise led Pittsburgh
(13-18), which shot 31
percent in the first half
and 39 for the game, with
17 points apiece.
Georgia Tech 67,
Wake Forest 65
GREENSBORO, N.C.
(AP) — Aaliyah Whiteside
had 19 points and Roddreka Rogers had 16, including the game-winning
basket with 5.4 seconds
left as seventh-seeded
Georgia Tech edged 10thseeded Wake Forest 67-65
in an ACC tournament
second-round game on
Thursday night.
Wake Forest, down by
seven with 4:23 to play,
tied the game on a layup
by Milan Quinn at the
1:01 mark. Antonia Peresson missed a 3 for Tech at
29 seconds but Irene Gari
grabbed the rebound,
leading to the Rogers basket on a feed from Imani
Tilford. After a Wake Forest timeout advanced the
ball to the front court,
Amber Campbell missed a
layup at the buzzer.
Georgia Tech (1911), which has won five
straight, faces secondseeded
and
seventhranked Louisville in Friday’s quarterfinals.
Wake Forest (16-15)
led most of the way after
a fast start. The lead was
54-49 entering the fourth
quarter when the Demon
Deacons shot went 3 for
11 from the field — yet
still shot 50 percent for
the half and 53 percent
for the game. However,
they had 21 turnovers
that cost 26 points.
Ariel Stephenson had
21 points for Wake Forest
with Quinn and Campbell
adding 16.

SEATTLE (AP) —
LaBrittney Jones made

It was the secondstraight win for the Wildcats (13-18) after an 11game losing streak, and
their first since it was announced coach Niya Butts
would not be returning
next season. They play

The Ducks whittled
it to 67-64 after two free

but free throws allowed

Oregon (20-10) lost

Trout gets 3 hits in LA Angels’ 8-2 victory
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) —
Mike Trout went 3 for 3
and made an impressive
first-inning catch, leading the Los Angeles Angels to an 8-2 victory over
the Oakland Athletics on
Thursday.
The star center fielder
stretched and sprawled
to rob Billy Burns on the
first play of the game.
“Guys who have been
around here a little bit
just laugh about it,” Angels starter Garrett Richards said. “When he does
things like that, it’s just
like, ‘Here he goes again.’”
Trout added two singles and a double in the
first four innings of the
Angels’ spring training
home opener at Tempe
Diablo Stadium.
Kole Calhoun also had
three hits and scored two
runs for the Angels, and
newcomers Geovany Soto
and Daniel Nava added
RBI singles. Los Angeles
relievers combined for
seven scoreless innings of
six-hit ball.
“We had a good day,”
manager Mike Scioscia
said. “There were some
things we didn’t get done,
but we looked good pressuring them offensively.”
Andrew Lambo had
an RBI single among his
two hits for Oakland.
Los Angeles scored
twice off A’s reliever Ryan
Doolittle, the younger
brother of Oakland closer
Sean Doolittle.
Red Sox 6, Twins 5
FORT MYERS, Fla.
(AP) — Rick Porcello gave
up a run over two innings
in his first start after the
worst season of his career,
and the Boston Red Sox
held off the Minnesota
Twins 6-5 on Thursday
night.
Twins leadoff batter
Brian Dozier went 3 for 3
— all opposite-field hits —
with two doubles. Minnesota starter Tyler Duffey
gave up a single and got
four outs before reaching
his pitch count.
South Korean slugger
Byung Ho Park had an
RBI single for the Twins
after striking all three
times a day earlier. Danny Santana hit a two-run
homer.
Travis Shaw was 2 for
2 with a walk for Boston.
Porcello agreed to an
$82.5 million, four-year
contract on opening day
last season, a deal that
runs from 2016-19. He
started 4-9 with a 6.08
ERA in his first season
with Boston before finishing 9-15 with a 4.92 ERA.

Arizona Diamondbacks’
starting rotation during the Rockies’ 6-5 win
Thursday.
Gonzalez hit a solo
shot off new Diamondbacks reliever Tyler Clippard in the fifth inning.
“We don’t worry too
much about him,” Rockies
manager Walt Weiss said
of Gonzalez. “Guys like
CarGo, we just want to
make sure they’re ready
when the bell rings.”
With four rotation
spots already announced,
Ray is trying win the last
one available for Arizona.
The 24-year-old left-hander went 5-12 with a 3.52
ERA in 23 starts last season. He struck out three
in two scoreless innings
in his spring debut.
“He threw the ball
great,”
Diamondbacks
manager Chip Hale said.
“He threw his fastball
where he wanted to for the
most part. His changeup
was pretty good, and he
threw a few good sliders.”
Rickie Weeks, signed
to a minor league deal by
Arizona after spring training was under way, began
his push for a roster spot
with a two-run double.
Trevor Story, a candidate to open the season at
shortstop with Jose Reyes
suspended and awaiting
trial on a charge of abusing his wife, hit a threerun homer for the Rockies.
“You always want to
get off to good start and
make a good first impression, and he certainly
did,” Weiss said of Story.
Wade scores 27 points, Heat ease past Suns 108-92
MIAMI (AP) — Dwyane Wade never has an off
night against the Phoenix
Suns.
Wade scored 27 points,
Goran Dragic added 25
against his former club
and the Miami Heat never trailed on the way to
beating the Suns 108-92
Thursday night, extending their winning streak to
three games.
Luol Deng scored 12
and Hassan Whiteside
grabbed 11 rebounds for
Miami, which led by as
many as 21 in the first
half.
“What I liked about tonight is we came out early
and took care of business,”
Wade said.
Rookie guard Devin
Booker kept the Suns in
the game, scoring 15 of
his 34 points in the fourth
quarter. Alex Len had 12
points and 13 rebounds for
Phoenix, which tied a club
record by losing its 17th
consecutive road game.
Booker received high
praise from Wade after
the game, and the rookie
sounded somewhat humbled.
“Obviously, Dwyane’s
a living legend, everyone
knows that, especially
when he’s here in Wade
County,” Booker said. “I
try to take that challenge
and try to have fun with
it. Those are the games I
live for — people I grew
up watching. Now I get
a chance to play against
them.”
Mirza Teletovic scored
11 points while Archie
Goodwin and P.J. Tucker
had 10 apiece for the Suns,
who have dropped 30 of 33
overall.
“We all know that our
main guys are out,” interim coach Earl Watson said.
“That’s not even a secret,
but we make no excuses.”
The Heat didn’t offer
them any sympathy, either.
An 18-5 run midway
through the second quarter put Miami up 50-29,
more than enough cushion to absorb every rally
attempt Phoenix put together. The Suns were no
closer than 14 at any point
in the third and they got
within 10 on two occasions midway through the
fourth — though Miami
quickly extended the lead
in both cases, responding
with bursts of 6-0 and 5-0
to keep Phoenix at bay.
“You have to credit
Phoenix,” Heat coach Erik
Spoelstra said. “They kept
on playing and then Booker got on a roll. ... He’s a
good young player. But we
were able to respond there
and get some stops.”
Wade has faced Phoenix 18 times, and has at
least 16 points in each of
those games. His career
average against the Suns
was 25.4 points coming
into the night, and it went
up a bit after he shot 9 of
17 from the floor and 9 for
10 from the line — despite
playing with a cold.
Still, he insisted he
would play Friday in Philadelphia when the Heat
start a weekend homeand-home against the
NBA-worst 76ers.
“It’s the time of the
year where you’ve got to
win games you’re supposed
to win,” Wade said. “You’re
not going to play great every night, but you’ve got to
find ways to win.”
Spurs 94,
Pelicans 86
NEW ORLEANS (AP)
— Kawhi Leonard capped
30-point, 11-rebound performance with a huge
3-pointer in the final minute, and the San Antonio
Spurs extended their winning streak to seven games
with a 94-86 victory over
the New Orleans Pelicans
on Thursday night.
LaMarcus
Aldridge
had 26 points and Danny
Green scored 11 for the
Spurs, who trailed 86-84
before closing the game on
a 12-0 run during the final
3:10.

Larsson scores go-ahead goal
in Sabres’ 6-3 win over Flames
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) —
Johan Larsson scored the goahead goal with 9:31 left and
Marcus Foligno had a goal
and two assists in the Buffalo Sabres’ 6-3 win over the
Calgary Flames on Thursday
night.
The loss extended the
Flames’ skid to 0-6-1 and
dropped into last place in the
Western Conference.
Jack Eichel, Nicolas
Deslauriers, Rasmus Ristolainen and Evander Kane,
with an empty-netter, also
scored in helping Buffalo
extend its home dominance
over Calgary. The Sabres
improved to 10-0-2 in their
past 12 home games against
the Flames, with their last
regulation loss a 3-1 defeat on
March 15, 1996.
Sean Monahan and Dougie Hamilton each had a goal
and an assist, and Mikael
Backlund also scored for the
Flames. Calgary dropped its
sixth consecutive road game.
The Flames’ winless
streak is their longest since
going 0-7-1 in December 2014.
The Sabres took control
after Monahan scored 3:56
into the third period to tie the
game at 3.
Brian Gionta set up Larsson’s goal by pouncing on a
loose puck to the left of the
Flames net. Drawing two
defenders to him, Gionta
slipped a past to Larsson, who
was alone in front and backhanded a shot over goalie Jonas Hiller’s left shoulder.
Eichel scored 3 minutes
later to put Buffalo ahead 5-3
by snapping a shot through a
crowd from the blue line that
sneaked in just under the
crossbar. It was Buffalo’s lone
power-play goal in seven opportunities.
The game featured a
frantic second period that included five goals and ended
with Buffalo up 3-2.
The game was tied at 1
before there were three goals
— one short-handed, one on
the power play and the third
at even strength — in a span
of 77 seconds.
Foligno made a nifty move
to step around Flames defenseman T.J. Brodie and score
on a short-handed breakaway
with 4:03 left in the second period.
Hamilton scored off the
next faceoff by beating Robin
Lehner on the short side with
a shot from the right circle.
And Zach Bogosian intercepted a weak Flames clearing
attempt to set up Deslauriers,
who snapped a shot from the
left circle to beat Hiller on the
short side and put Buffalo up
3-2.
The Flames got off to a
dreadful start. They were being outshot 7-0 before Mark
Giordano fired a shot into
Lehner’s chest during a power
play with 2:56 left in the first
period.
Both teams squandered a
5-on-3 advantage in the opening period. Buffalo’s lasted 49
seconds, while Calgary’s was
just 8 seconds.
Eichel’s goal came after
the Sabres failed to score on a
two-man advantage spanning
90 seconds.
Lightning 4,
Senators 1
OTTAWA, Ontario (AP)
— Ben Bishop made 33 saves
and the Tampa Bay Lightning
tied a franchise record with
their eighth straight victory,
4-1 over the Ottawa Senators
on Thursday night.
Cedric Paquette, Ondrej
Palat, Nikita Kucherov and
Steven Stamkos — into an
empty net — scored for the
Lightning, who wrapped up a
four-game road trip.
Marc Methot scored the
lone goal for the Senators. Andrew Hammond, making his
first start since Feb. 11, made
25 saves.
Bruins 4,
Blackhawks 2
BOSTON (AP) — Patrice Bergeron and Brad
Marchand each had a goal
and an assist to help lead
the Boston Bruins over the
Chicago Blackhawks 4-2
on Thursday night.
Boston won for the
fifth time in seven games
and kicked off their toughest stretch of the season
with a victory. The Bruins
now prepare to face the
Washington Capitals, the
NHL’s points leader, on
Saturday, before heading
out on the road for six of
the next eight games.
Ryan Spooner and
Loui Eriksson also had
goals for Boston. Tuukka
Rask made 25 saves and
newcomer Lee Stempniak
— acquired from New Jersey on Monday — notched
two assists.
Jonathan Toews and
Thomas
Fleischmann
scored for Chicago, which
has dropped three of its
last five and 6 of 10, but
the Western Conference
leaders remained two
points ahead of Dallas and
St. Louis, who were idle.
Bergeron got the Bruins started just 1:18 into
the game when he roofed
a shot over the shoulder of
Blackhawks goalie Scott
Darling for his 25th of the
season.
Toews scored a powerplay goal to tie it at 1 with
5:46 remaining in the first,
but Marchand scored the
first of three unanswered
goals for Boston when he
slapped one past Darling
for his team-leading 33rd
goal with 22 seconds remaining in the period.
Spooner and Eriksson
capped the scoring for Boston, who won consecutive
home games for the first
time since Dec. 20.
Fleischmann cut the
Bruins’ lead to 4-2 with 50
seconds remaining in the
second when he beat Rask
over the left shoulder.

Brady suspension back on the table after Deflategate appeal
NEW YORK (AP) —
New England Patriots
quarterback Tom Brady
could again be facing a
four-game suspension for
the scandal known as Deflategate after federal appeals court judges spent
time Thursday shredding
some of his union’s favorite
arguments for dismissal.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in
Manhattan gave a players’ union lawyer a tough
time, with Circuit Judge
Denny Chin even saying
evidence of ball tampering was “compelling, if not
overwhelming,” and there
was evidence to support a
finding that Brady “knew
about it, consented to it,
encouraged it.”
“How do we as appellate judges reviewing an
arbitrator’s decision second-guess the four-game
suspension?” Chin asked
attorney Jeffrey Kessler of
the NFL Players Association.
The appeals court did
not immediately rule, but
it seemed to lean heavily at times against the
union’s arguments, raising
the prospect that the suspension Brady was supposed to start last September before a judge nullified
it may begin next season
instead.
The appeals panel
seemed receptive to the
NFL’s argument that it
was fair for Commissioner
Roger Goodell to severely
penalize one of the game’s
greatest
quarterbacks
after concluding he tarnished the game by impeding the league’s investigation into deflated footballs,
including destroying a
cellphone containing nearly 10,000 messages. The
league had concluded that
deflated balls were used
when the Patriots routed
the Indianapolis Colts at
the January 2015 AFC
championship game before

they went on to win the
Super Bowl.
Judge Barrington D.
Parker said the cellphonedestruction issue raised
the stakes “from air in a
football to compromising
the integrity of a proceeding that the commissioner
had convened.”
“An adjudicator looking at these facts, it seems
to me, might conclude that
the cellphone had incriminating information on it
and that, in the teeth of an
investigation, it was deliberately destroyed,” Parker
said. “So why couldn’t the
commissioner suspend Mr.
Brady for that conduct
alone?”
“With all due respect,
Mr. Brady’s explanation of
that made no sense whatsoever,” Parker said.
Kessler
said
the
league’s investigator never
asked for the phone.
Chief Judge Robert A.
Katzmann noted that the
fact that commissioners
can be confronted with a
novel situation might be
why the language of the
players union’s contract
agreement with the league
“gives the commissioner
broad authority to deal
with conduct detrimental”
to the game.
The judges did not
treat the NFL gingerly
either, with Parker questioning whether Goodell
took his authority too far
by designating himself
the arbitrator and making findings that went beyond a report prepared by
an investigator the league
hired.
Parker told NFL attorney Paul Clement that
Goodell in effect is “the
judge, the juror and, execution is not the right word,
but the enforcer,” and that
his power made his role
different
fundamentally
from arbitration cases the
court typically handles.
Clement said both
sides had agreed in contract negotiations that
Goodell would preside over
“conduct detrimental” proceedings.
At another point, Parker said Brady’s lengthy
suspension seemed at “first
blush a draconian penalty”
for deflated footballs.
“What’s the advantage
you get from an underinflated football?” he asked.
The judges also questioned why deflating foot-
balls would warrant a severe suspension.
But they seemed to answer that question themselves when Kessler stood
before them as they noted
repeatedly that it may well
be within Goodell’s authority to punish a player if he
concludes that the player
interfered with an investigation and thus engaged in
conduct detrimental to the
game.
After Goodell rejected Brady’s appeal of the
four-game
suspension,
the league went to federal
court to get a judge’s approval of its handling of
the case. But Judge Richard Berman ruled against
the NFL a week before the
season began, eliminating
Brady’s suspension.
The NFL appealed.
Clement urged the
court to rule quickly for
the good of the game.
“It would be an awful
shame if this issue has to
be hanging over the league
for another whole season,”
he said. “End this right
now.”
Neither Goodell nor
Brady was in court Thursday. A decision could take
weeks or months.
Proposal would create
new conservation funding
HARRISBURG — A
new initiative unveiled in
Washington, D.C., Wednesday would dedicate $1.3 billion in funding to help states
address the needs for thousands of species in trouble
across America.
Patterned after the Conservation and Reinvestment
Act of 2000, which narrowly
failed to clear Congress, the
new initiative proposes the
reallocation of existing royalties from on- and offshore
oil and gas development
and mineral extraction to
fish and wildlife conservation. It is being advanced
by the Blue Ribbon Panel
on Sustaining America’s
Diverse Fish & Wildlife Resources, a think-tank of 26
energy, business and conservation leaders assembled
in 2014 by the Association
of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (AFWA), which serves
North America’s state and
provincial wildlife-management agencies.
This initiative aims to
redirect and dedicate $1.3
billion annually from more
than $10 billion in revenues
from traditional and renewable energy development
and mineral development
on federal lands and waters.
“It is our responsibility to lead the way so our
state fish and wildlife agencies have the resources they
need to conserve species
and manage our natural resources – the future of our
industry and the outdoor
sports we love depend on
this investment,” said panel
co-chairman John L. Morris,
founder of Bass Pro Shops.
“Redirecting revenues
from energy and mineral
development to state-based
conservation is a simple,
logical solution, and it is
now up to our leaders in
Congress to move this concept forward,” Morris said.
This emerging enterprise is attractive immediately to the Pennsylvania
Game Commission, which
increasingly is being forced
to pare from its wildlifediversity and other core
programs to keep itself solvent and capable of funding
game conservation, which,
through the sale of hunting
licenses, has paid for the
majority of the Commonwealth’s management of all
wildlife since 1913.
“If
Pennsylvanians
no longer hunted and we
couldn’t sell hunting licenses, wildlife would fall
on incredibly hard times,”
explained agency Executive
Director R. Matthew Hough.
“That’s why it’s so critically
important to establish other
revenue streams to support
the 480 species for which we
are responsible.
“The Game Commis-
sion cares about all wildlife,
but without sufficient funding, we’re forced to make
management sacrifices that
keep us up at night,” Hough
said. “We need funding like
this and a license-fee increase to uphold our legislative mandate to manage the
Commonwealth’s wild birds
and mammals for this and
future generations.”
The Game Commission
has worked diligently over
the past year to increase focus on the agency’s need for a
hunting license-fee increase.
Its last fee increase occurred
in 1999. That growing need
has led to deep cuts in the
agency’s seasonal staff for
nongame species, ranging
from bald eagles to northern
flying squirrels, and threatens successful implementation of Pennsylvania’s Wildlife Action Plan, a blueprint
for managing and protecting
imperiled species and their
habitats.
The problems faced by
America’s fish and wildlife
resources continue to grow.
Some are the result of habitat losses, both here and
abroad. Others stem from
pollution, nutrient-loading,
viruses, fungi, invasive species and even human intrusions. Now, more than ever,
managers need to keep a finger on the pulse of the thousands of species for which
they are responsible. But
with each passing year, the
job gets tougher.
Essential wildlife conservation has been a national challenge for some
time. In less than a decade,
the number of species petitioned for listing under the
federal Endangered Species
Act has increased by 1,000
percent, according to AFWA.
When species become federally endangered, taxpayers
help foot the bill to reverse
their deteriorating populations. Additionally, more
than 12,000 species have
been identified by states as
species in greatest conservation need.
It’s hard to see this news
as anything but unsettling if
you care about wild America
and Penn’s Woods. That’s
why this new initiative is so
timely and unquestionably
vital to all wildlife species
in decline. With legislative
support, this initiative could
fund proactive management
to keep wildlife species from
becoming uncommon, in
need of expensive emergency treatments.
The initiative intends to
establish dedicated funding
– eliminating increases in
taxpayer costs and regulatory oversight – to help keep
troubled species from reaching state and federal endangered species lists. The need
is obvious. But without ad-
equate support from Americans and the legislators who
represent them, this latest
effort to help this continent’s
beleaguered diversity species will again fall short of
the finish line.
Given the chance to
use federal dollars through
the State Wildlife Grants
Program to support Pennsylvania’s diversity causes,
the Game Commission has
stepped up to the plate and
accomplished much for
wildlife. Through this federal program, the agency
has brokered projects with
partners to develop a second Pennsylvania Breeding
Bird Atlas to continue monitoring the status of nesting
birds; conduct research into
the troubles facing barn
owls and Allegheny woodrat; and troubleshoot for
ways to reverse the tragic
consequences of white-nose
syndrome on cave bats.
“No one believes we
shouldn’t manage all wildlife,” explained Hough. “I
sincerely believe that. But
with gridlock in our capitols
it seems we currently cannot
move wildlife conservation
forward without Pennsylvanians pouring some of that
same devotion and energy
into our cause that they did
in the 1960s and ’70s, when
they rallied for environmental reform.
“In so many ways, the
clock is ticking for so many
species. It’s easy to miss,
because so many of us have
commitments and pursuits
that tend to keep us focused
elsewhere. But the shortages wildlife conservation
faces here are real. So if you
can find the time to get involved, please do. Wildlife
will never have too many
advocates.”
To get involved, contact
your legislator in the U.S.
House of Representatives
and the U.S. Senate and
ask them to get behind the
initiative, which is hoped
to be formally introduced
in coming weeks. Tell them
funding for America’s conservation of imperiled wildlife is inadequate, and this
initiative would accomplish
much good for nongame
wildlife. Remind them proactive wildlife management
ultimately saves taxpayer
dollars by ensuring species
in trouble won’t become federally endangered species.
To get involved with the
campaign for our hunting
license-fee increase, simply call or write your state
House or Senate representative and ask him or her to
support finding a way to get
the Game Commission a feeincrease to maintain and advance Pennsylvania’s proud
conservation heritage.

Dear Annie: Yesterday, I tried to
help my son do his third-grade homework. One question was: “If Sue runs
around the track twice, and John runs
around the track four times more than
Sue, how many times does John run
around the track?” My son submitted
his answer as 8, but the teacher said
the answer was 6.
Do I speak up? Should I simply
assume the lesson here is a “life lesson”
to respect the teacher’s answer even if
it’s wrong, and explain to my 8-year-old
son that there is sometime more than
one right answer? -- Perplexed Dad
Dear Perplexed: If the problem
had read “four more times than Sue,” it
would be an addition problem, but “four
times more” makes it a multiplication
problem. The teacher made a mistake
(she added instead of multiplied) and
should be told. She may have been using an answer sheet that was incorrect,
and she certainly wouldn’t want to use
it again with another class. Most teachers have email addresses. Write to her
and say that your son cannot figure out
how the answer could be 6, and neither
can you, so perhaps there was an oversight when the paper was graded. Be
nice. Tell her you know how easy it is
for these things to happen and thought
she’d want to know so she can correct
the papers that were mismarked. The
life lesson for your son is how to stand
up for himself and register an objection
without becoming objectionable.
Dear Annie: My husband passed
away 10 years ago, when I was 57. After a year, I began dating again. I have
met many nice gentlemen. Often, I am
introduced by mutual friends, but I have
also used online dating. Perhaps your
readers would be interested in what I
“ALL THE NEWS YOU CAN USE”
have learned about meeting dates online.
I quickly learned to weed out the
ones who are just looking for money.
Many of them are incarcerated. If they
cannot meet in person within one week,
I block them from contacting me. I never share my name, address or phone
number. I will take their number and call
after blocking my own number from displaying on their cellphones or through
caller ID.
I am attractive, get my hair styled
regularly, use makeup and take care of
my body and my health. I wear a size
4. I watch my diet and go to the gym. I
have a good income and insist on paying my own way.
My profiles say I am interested
only in dating. But after a few dates,
many men tell me that they want to
marry me. They are hurt that I am not
interested. If a man is looking at online
sites and wants something long-term,
he should not be contacting a woman
whose profile clearly states that she
wants only to date. I am upfront about
this and always feel bad when I have
to break it off because the man gets too
serious. -- Self-Sufficient Suzie
Dear Suzie: You seem to have a
good handle on meeting men in a safe
way. (We would add to meet them in
public places for coffee, not dinner.)
You also present yourself as an attractive, independent woman and we suspect your insouciance about marriage
makes you quite appealing to men who
are more accustomed to women who
seem desperate or clingy.

Military beginning to recruit
women for combat jobs
By Lolita C. Baldor
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP)
— The military services
are already beginning to
recruit women for combat
jobs, including as Navy
SEALs, and could see them
serving in previously maleonly Army and Marine
Corps infantry units by
this fall, according to new
plans endorsed by Defense
Secretary Ash Carter and
obtained by The Associated
Press.
Some of the services
predict that only small
numbers of women will
volunteer or get through
training courses, details of
the plans show. The Marine Corps estimates 200
women a year will move
into ground combat jobs.
And U.S. Special Operations Command said it anticipates a “small number”
of volunteers for its commando jobs.
The Navy said it is already collecting submission
packages from prospective
SEAL candidates and could
see women in entry-level
enlisted and officer training
in September and October.
The Navy started collecting
the packages last month.
All of the services say
they have made required
changes to base bathrooms
and other facilities to accommodate women, and
they will monitor training,
injury assessments, and
possible sexual harassment
or assault problems.
The plans have been
under review by senior
Pentagon leaders and have
not been made public.
Carter said Thursday
that he accepted the services’ implementation recommendations, but provided
no details. He is expected to
sign a memo in the coming
days telling the military to
begin executing the plans
next month.
Man
a turn for the worse much
later — are unusual but
hardly
unprecedented.
In November, a Southern California jail inmate
who abused a baby girl in
2005 was charged with
murder over her death a
decade later.
The challenge for
prosecutors in such cases
is showing that the defendant’s long-ago actions
led to the victim’s death.
Court records do not
list an attorney for Barber, who was living in
Plainfield, Illinois, at the
time of his arrest.
Barber told police
nearly a quarter-century
ago that his son would
not stop crying while being fed on New Year’s Eve
in 1991 in Saylorsburg,
about 25 miles north of
Bethlehem. He said he
shook Christopher —
though he claimed the
shaking “wasn’t that
rough” — and threw the
baby on the couch. Christopher bounced at least
twice, Barber told police.
The infant was taken
to the hospital, where
doctors found “tons of
damage” to the brain,
bleeding behind the eyes
and rib fractures that led
them to diagnose shaken
baby syndrome, court documents said.
Barber pleaded guilty
to aggravated assault and
related offenses. He was
paroled in 1997. Kostenbader’s condition, meanwhile, never improved.
Jules Epstein, a Temple University law professor, said that if Barber
contests the homicide
charge, his lawyer will be
sure to look closely at the
medical evidence.
“How clear is it that
the original injury could
have caused the death?
And then, the separate issue, did they do a fair look
to make sure it wasn’t
really something independent?” Epstein said
Thursday.
In
Utah,
Warren
Hales was convicted of
murder for shaking a baby
who died after 12 years in
a vegetative state. But an
appeals court overturned
his conviction and sentence in 2007 because his
lawyers were ineffective,
and prosecutors dropped
the charges.
In 2010, a Philadelphia
jury
acquitted 75-year-old William
Barnes, who was charged

shot and paralyzed 41
years earlier during a

Barnes’ attorney, Sam

“there were multiple factors that broke the causal

leading to his client’s acquittal.
In the case of Christopher, “the prosecution’s

and the baby grew into an

Astronomers spot record distant
galaxy from early cosmos
By Seth Borenstein
AP Science Writer
WASHINGTON (AP)
— Astronomers say they
have discovered a hot,
star-popping galaxy that
is far, far away — farther
than any previously detected, from a time when
the universe was a mere
toddler of about 400 million years old.
By employing a different technique — one that
has raised some skepticism — a team of astronomers exposed a time period they’d thought was
impossible to observe with
today’s technology. They
used the Hubble Space
Telescope and found the
light wave signature of
an extremely bright galaxy 13.4 billion light-years
away, according to a study
published Thursday by As-
trophysical Journal. The
margin of error is plus
or minus 5 million lightyears. A light-year is about
5.8 trillion miles.
It shatters old records
for distance and time in
a big way, and may remain the farthest that can
be seen for years, until
a new space telescope is
launched, the team of astronomers said.
With that light signature, astronomers were
able to produce a photo of
this galaxy that’s fuzzy and
all-too deceptive in color. It
appears darkish red and
indistinct, when in reality
it’s so hot it is bright blue,
but the light has traveled
so long and far that it has
shifted to the very end of
the color spectrum, to dark
red. And that fuzziness
masks an incredible rate
of star formation that’s 10
times more frenetic than
our Milky Way, said study
co-author Gabriel Brammer, an astronomer at the
Space Telescope Science
Institute.
“It really is star bursting,”
Brammer
said.
“We’re getting closer and
closer to when we think
the first stars formed ...
There’s not a lot of actual
time between this galaxy
and the Big Bang.”
If we were back in
time and near this galaxy
(named GN-z11), we’d see
“blue, stunning, really
bright young stars” and all
around us would be “very
messy looking objects”
that are galaxies just
forming — not the large
bright spirals we think of
as galaxies, said study coauthor Garth Illingworth
at the University of California Santa Cruz.
TIPS FROM TEST
PREP EXPERTS
Some advice from Lee
Weiss, Kaplan Test Prep’s
vice president of college
admissions programs, on
taking the new SATs:
“If you’ve been preparing and putting in
your study time, then you
should go in confident. If
you haven’t, you can take
this test again or you can
take the ACT, too. It’s not
the end of the world if you
don’t perform well,” he
said.
Don’t skip the essay.
Weiss said Kaplan’s research of college admissions officers shows that
many of the top mostcompetitive programs for
college do look at the essay and it’s an important
part of their admissions
process. “Make sure you
are writing a good, structured essay that answers
the prompt,” said Weiss.
“Make sure that you are
varying your word choice
and your sentence structure.”
On reading, Ned Johnson, president of PrepMatters, said students should
be literal, not literary. He
said students could help
themselves by coming up
with their own answers
before looking at the options provided.
Johnson says the new
test has math problems
that are much wordier
than before. “Read slowly,” he said. “If you read
and analyze the problems piece by piece, you
can avoid feeling overwhelmed and ‘translate’
all those words into math,
you know how to do.”

FREE PRACTICE
TESTS
The College Board has
teamed up with online
educator Khan Academy
to offer SAT practice with
the new exam — for free
— to all students through
diagnostic quizzes and
interactive practice tests.
The tests are available
at https://www.khanacademy.org/sat.
SAT
at Woodrow Wilson High
School in the nation’s capital, says he really didn’t
mind the new SAT.
“There aren’t as many
questions where it’s trying
to trick you ... It was much
more straightforward,” he
said
For math, he said, “the
new version was a lot more
like basic concepts, so it
wouldn’t be very obscure
formulas that you have to
remember. If you had the
basics of algebra down,
even if the problem was
difficult, you could work
your way through it.”
Said classmate Isabel
Suarez: “I liked it better than the old one. I
thought that it was way
more applicable to what
we’ve been learning in
school. The English was
a lot easier for me than it
was with the old one.”
Isabel, a junior, said
the math was a little
harder. “It was more algebra based, but I think I
was able to perform a lot
better on it than the old
one because it was stuff
that I actually learned in
school.”
In fact, Suarez, who
likes to write, said she enjoyed the reading section.
“My AP English class defi-
nitely really prepared me
for it. I honestly enjoyed
the grammar part because
I like to pick out problems
in writing. It was pretty
fun actually.”
The exam was administered Wednesday at
Wilson and other District
of Columbia high schools
and at schools in more
than a dozen states as
part of SAT School Day.

WHAT’S BEHIND
THE REDESIGN?
This was the first revision in the SAT since
2005. The head of the College Board says students
taking the new SAT will
find more familiar reading passages, vocabulary
words and math.
“The sum of the redesign of the test is to make
it much more like the
work that kids are already
doing in high school,” said
David Coleman, president
and chief executive officer
of the board. It was retooled, he said, “so that all
kids could feel that they
had a shot.”
With fewer questions
on the new test, Coleman
said, there’s more time for
each of the reading and
math questions.
