Educators from Elk, Cameron, Potter and McKean Counties recently participated in an
“Educator in the Workplace”
event at Keystone Powdered
Metal Company in St. Marys.
Educators toured the facility and worked with Keystone staff and administration
throughout the day. Educators
were able to learn about the career opportunities at the facility and how what they teach in
the classroom is applied on the
job. After the experience, educators agreed that they were
excited to share what they
learned with their students
and were impressed with the
many career opportunities and
economic benefits the company
brings to the area.
This event was offered in
partnership through the Community Education Center’s
DISCOVER Partnership and
the Potter County Education
Council’s Business and Education Connect Program. Both
programs are aimed at creating an awareness about local
opportunities and forming connections between educators
and local companies.

HARRISBURG (AP) — Pennsylvania officials went to court
in a battle over the wording of a
ballot question that, in less than
seven weeks, would let voters decide whether to raise the mandatory retirement age of the state’s
judges by five years.
On Sunday, top Senate Republicans sued and asked the
state Supreme Court to act swiftly to remove what they called unnecessary and confusing wording
written by state elections officials
that lawmakers never approved.
The state attorney general’s
office responded Friday, and
asked justices to dismiss the
case.
Granting the Senate Republicans’ request would eliminate
information that is helpful to
voters, the attorney general’s office wrote, and it said the Senate
GOP had waited an unreasonably long amount of time to file
the complaint.
Plus, changing the wording
at this stage would make it impossible to get it on the April 26
primary election ballot because
of constitutional requirements to
advertise it at least three months

Troop 199, sponsored by Elk Co. Tool & Die, recently completed a service project at Camp Mountain Run. This was done
during their annual winter weekend in a cabin at the camp. Responding to a request for help by the camp ranger, the
troop ran a hoagie sale fundraiser to be able to buy lumber to build some new tent platforms at the camp. The weather
has taken a toll on the old platforms, making some of them unsafe. The boys learned power tool safety while also learning to operate some of the tools needed to do the woodworking to make 13 5x9 foot platforms. The troop expresses its
appreciation to the community and Suburban Building Center for making the fundraiser and project successful. Troop 199
also has several scouts working toward Eagle rank in the coming year and they are soliciting ideas for possible Eagle
projects. If your organization has something in mind, please contact Terry Detsch at 389-3698 to discuss it.
Secrecy a hallmark of Supreme Court vetting process
By Sam Hananel
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Clandestine meetings. Soundproofed
rooms. Top-secret instructions.
It sounds like the elements
for a spy movie, but it’s become a
hallmark of the undercover process for considering potential Supreme Court nominees.
The Obama administration
is close to naming a replacement for Justice Antonin Scalia,
who died last month and would
have turned 80 on Friday. An
announcement is expected soon,
although whether a nominee can
be confirmed by the Senate is in
doubt. The Senate’s majority Republicans say the seat should be
filled not by Obama, but by his
successor.
If history is a guide, the
White House will take elaborate
precautions to make sure the
choice for the lifetime seat is kept
under wraps until the president
is ready to reveal it.
Back in 2005, Samuel Alito
was an appeals court judge based

At just 19 years old, Brandon Wilson has been carving for one year now with
some excellent work promising another Dennis Beach sometime down the
road. Wilson comes from the town of Jay, Vermont, and says he was inspired
three years ago by world famous sculptor and Rendezvous co-founder Randy
Boni who was commissioned by the Jay Country Store to do numerous works
in and around the store.
Mark Bosworth started out as a hobby taxidermist which he explains is the
key to his making a carving realistic. He gave a seminar on that very subject
at last year’s Rendezvous stating that an artist must understand the inner
structure of a subject before they can realistically carve the outer one. His first
carving was a buck which he carved using a scalpel. From there he went on
to carving chisels which he still incorporates in his carvings and he now uses
the larger tools including the chainsaw to remove the major wood then works
closely by hand, liking the control he has with the smaller hand tools.

Extraordinary tactics as GOP foes struggle to stop Trump
couraging his supporters
in Ohio to vote for Kasich
next week.
The extraordinary tactic reflects the increasing
sense of urgency looming
over the 2016 contest as
Trump eyes what would
be a devastating sweep in
next week’s winner-takeall elections in Ohio and
Florida.
In all, 367 Republican delegates are at stake
Tuesday in Florida, Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio and the Northern Mariana Islands. A
win in either Florida or
Ohio, some fear, could give
Trump an insurmountable
delegate lead.
Polls, and the candidates’ travel schedules,
suggested that Kasich’s
chances in Ohio may be
better than Rubio’s in
Florida.
Rubio claimed fresh
momentum in the state as
he campaigned there Friday, but his rivals left him
alone in Florida as the day
and Kasich to lose their
home state contests next
week, which would likely
force both to leave the race
and allow Cruz to go after
Trump one-on-one.
Even under that scenario, the delegate math
would make it difficult for
Cruz to overtake Trump
before the party’s July
convention.
Meanwhile, Trump repeated his calls for party
unity on Friday, but called
a violent episode at a rally
the day before “very, very
appropriate” after an African-American protester
was punched in the face
by a Trump supporter.
“That’s what we need
a little bit more of,” Trump
said during a Friday news
conference.
Police charged the
man, identified as John
Franklin McGraw, with
assault. Florida police are
investigating another allegation of violence against
a Trump protester from
earlier in the month as
well.
Looking at the Ohio
“We think it’s decent
policy, but we don’t want
people tricked into voting
for it,” Crompton said.
The Senate GOP’s
lawsuit said the 69-word
question written by state
election officials inserted
confusing wording about
the Supreme Court and
magisterial district judges, and an unnecessary
statement about the current mandatory retirement age that is better left
to an explanatory statement provided to voters
and written by the attorney general’s office.
The
trimmed-down
question suggested by the
Senate GOP is 35 words.
Counties likely will
not start printing ballots
until at least the end of
March because of ongoing court challenges to the
eligibility of various candidates for office, elections
officials said.
Senate
Continued from Page 1
in advance, the attorney
general’s office wrote.
In any case, the attorney general’s office said,
state officials had complied with legal requirements to advertise the
ballot question at a cost
of $1.3 million, starting in
January.
Court officials could
not say Friday whether
the Supreme Court would
take the case or, if justices rule on it, when they
would act.
Both the House and
Senate have signed off,
twice, on the ballot question to change the Pennsylvania
Constitution,
and its approval is undoubtedly of particular interest to the state’s 1,029
judges and justices.
Under the constitution, judges and justices
currently must step down
by the end of the year in
which they turn 70. The
constitutional
amendment would move the age
to the end of the year in
which they turn 75 and almost certainly give a new
5-2 Democratic majority
on the Supreme Court a
longer span.
Twenty judges will
turn 70 in 2016, according to the Administrative
Office of Pennsylvania
Courts.
The chief counsel to
Senate President Pro
Tempore Joe Scarnati,
R-Jefferson, said he wondered whether the wordiness of the ballot question
is “an attempt to elicit a
‘yes’ vote.”
Even
so,
Scarnati’s chief counsel, Drew
Crompton, said Republican senators support the
ballot question.

primary, there are signs
some local Republicans
are already embracing
Rubio’s call to support Kasich.
“I believe Marco Rubio
has the best chance of unifying the party and winning in November,” said
Tom Grossmann, a county
commissioner and Rubio
supporter. “I don’t think
he has any chance of winning in Ohio.”
Kasich
spokesman
Rob Nichols charged that
his candidate is going to
win in Ohio without Rubio’s help “just as he’s going to lose Florida without
our help.”
Amid the Republican
wrangling, Democrat Hillary Clinton is campaigning in Illinois and warning
voters about the perils of
loose talk.
Without mentioning
Trump by name, Clinton
said Friday that “when
you run for president, it
matters what you say.”
In the last few weeks,
Clinton said, she’s been
getting messages “from a
lot of the leaders I know
from around the world and
their message basically is,
‘What is happening?’”
“Hopefully this is just
a momentary lapse and
that we will all come to our
senses” and have an election based on ideas and
who can get things done,”
she said.
But Trump on Friday softened his tone, a
shift that was apparent
on stage at the previous
night’s debate: “I can’t believe how civil it’s been up
here,” Trump declared at
one point in Thursday’s
face-off of the GOP’s final
four.

MIAMI (AP) — Candidates shuttled out of
Florida and abandoned
their vicious rhetoric — at
least with each other — as
the tone and central front
in the increasingly desperate push to stop Donald
Trump shifted on Friday.
No longer was Marco
Rubio insulting Trump’s
hair or hand size. And
there was no sign of
Trump’s references to “Little Marco” or “Lying Ted.”
A confident Trump
instead adopted a magnanimous tone, calling for
party unity, while Rubio
focused on policy differences and turned to Republican competitor John
Kasich for help, as the Republican front-runner’s rivals — and the party’s establishment — grasped for
any way to slow Trump’s
march toward the nomination.

campaign in more competitive territory across
the Midwest as the Florida senator’s grasp on his
home state appeared to be
slipping.
Before heading to Missouri, Trump introduced
a significant new ally at
a news conference at his

Carson, who endorsed
his former GOP rival and
warned that a failure to
rally behind him would
“fracture the party in an
irreparable way.”
Carson said that he
and Trump had “buried

of political wrangling, describing the front-runner
as a “very cerebral” person.

a weekly column by HJ Beagley
Rendezvous 2016, it’s all the buzz,
today is the big day and they are
“cutting” deals on art. Englishmen
Simon and Gary carvin’ a killer
tree, Renny’s adoption revisited and
other Bits & Pieces…
Today in History
Tree tries to kill tree carver [Sic]
“They wouldn’t let me take ‘me’ chainsaws on the plane from England but, no worries, the local blokes in Ridgway have a handy toolshed for international carvers — loaned us everything
we need, they did,” said Gary Orange, a colorful woodcarver from England [With a big smile].
Gary and his friend Simon Vaughan came all the way from England to be part of this massive
gathering of amazing artists [Again]. I had a chance to visit with these guys and ask some questions [As the sawdust flew], that was quite a treat. There is a lot of cool stories and original art
out here. So Gary, how did you and Simon first meet and start carving together? “Well, it was
quite a painful situation really. I was driving me Land Rover along one day…I was employed as
a pipeline guy —
arborist…I
chain-sawed
down
trees
and what not

accents]. And,
from out of nowhere a massive tree fell on me
Land Rover and crushed me head
flat. I was in a coma, steel plates
in the head and I had to have the
eye socket rebuilt,” explained Gary.
So, Simon cut the tree? I inquired.
“Nope, after standing there for 80
years it just fell over for no reason
really. Right on me Land Rover,” he
went on... “Then after I was out of
the hospital, I was on holiday driving by that same spot and there was
this bloke out there carvin’… carvin’
little bears and whatnots out of the
very same tree that hit me,” said
Gary. “That bloke was me,” said Simon. “We made fast friends and we
‘ave been travelin’ about doing roadside carvin’ all over the world,” added Gary. They told me about their adventures in Canada, in the UK and all
about their Cajun buddies. Gary made an amazing horsehead bench today [see photos]. I said “boy you’re in luck
with that horsehead design this year, with the Denver Broncos winning the Super Bowl and all.” Simon and Gary
looked at me with blank stares and said, “What is a Denver Bronco?” They didn’t know too much about American
style football, so I filled them in on the Broncos and Peyton Manning… I also I had to explain what or where Denver is [that was a first]. They were very excited and hope to sell the bench and the rest of the beautifully crafted
works.
Storyteller Gary Arens carves a large civil war piece
Arens’ work was
near the cannon
at the Elk County
Courthouse
all
week.
Thousands
of folks have photographed it during
the festival. The
self-taught
artist
Gary Arens likes
to tell stories in
his work. The Civil
War piece tells of
his great-grandfather’s heroic efforts
to fight the South
with the 14th Cavalry. He would like
to find a home for
this $5,500 masterpiece. His American
Bison piece tells
the story of a buffalo hunt and the
Native Americans’
plight [He will tell
you all the details].
Alligators
and
swamp
critters,
little pups and rabbits — all for sale
today.
The storyteller Gary Arens presents this one-of-a-kind Civil War carving. It can be yours
for just $5,500.
People concerned about Renny’s future
Clarification: Last week I wrote
about a dog named Renny at the
Elk County Humane Society. Renny
needs a home and the staff at the
shelter offered a half-price adoption
deal just for little Renny. As I mentioned last week, the deal was limited to “just the month of March.”
At the end of the month that deal
was to go away [expire]. However,
I was told several people called the
shelter with concerns that Renny
might be “put down” [euthanized]
if she didn’t find a home by March
31. That is not the case. “She’ll be
staying with us until her forever
human is found. The sale (half off
her adoption fee) was the only thing
being ‘terminated’ at the end of the
month,” said Briana Schatz of the
Elk County Humane Society.
UPDATE: I just got off of the
phone with the shelter and they decided to extend Renny’s half-price Renny is ready, please call now at (814) 834-3247.
deal for however long it takes to find
her a home [Nice].
From what I understand, Elk County is a “no kill” shelter anyway. I have requested and received information
about that policy; unless the pup is suffering from something like being ran over, they keep the pets safe until
they find a forever home [Smile]. If you would like to adopt Renny call (814) 834-3247.

Today
is
Saturday,
March 12, the 72nd day of
2016. There are 294 days
left in the year. Daylight
Saving Time begins Sunday at 2 a.m. locally. Clocks
go forward one hour.
Today's Highlight in History:
On March 12, 1912, the
Girl Scouts of the USA
had its origins as Juliette
Gordon Low of Savannah,
Georgia, founded the first
American troop of the Girl
Guides.
On this date:
In 1664, England's King
Charles II granted an area
of land on the East Coast of
present-day North America
known as New Netherland
to his brother James, the
Duke of York.
In 1857, the original version of Giuseppe Verdi's
opera "Simon Boccanegra"
was poorly received at its
premiere in Venice, Italy.
(Verdi offered a revised version in 1881.)
In 1925, Chinese revolutionary leader Sun Yat-sen
died.
In 1938, the Anschluss
merging Austria with Nazi
Germany took place as
German forces crossed the
border between the two
countries.
In 1951, "Dennis the
Menace," created by cartoonist Hank Ketcham,
made its syndicated debut
in 16 newspapers.
In 1971, Hafez Assad
was confirmed as president
of Syria in a referendum.
In 1993, Janet Reno was
sworn in as the first female
U.S. attorney general. A
three-day blizzard that
came to be known as "The
Storm of the Century" began inundating the eastern
third of the U.S. A series of
bombings in Mumbai, India, killed 257 people (the
explosions were allegedly
masterminded by India's
most wanted man, Dawood
Ibrahim).
Ten years ago: Four U.S.
Army soldiers attacked an
Iraqi family south of Baghdad; three of them took
turns raping a 14-yearold girl, Abeer Qassim AlJanabi, whose parents and
6-year-old sister had been
slain by one of the soldiers,
Steven Dale Green, who
then killed Abeer. (Green
committed suicide in prison
in Feb. 2014; the others are
serving lengthy sentences.)
In eastern Afghanistan, a
roadside bomb killed four
U.S. troops passing by in
an armored vehicle.
One year ago: Two Ferguson, Missouri, police
officers were shot and
wounded in front of the police department during a
protest; U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder denounced
the shooter as a "damn
punk." NASA launched its
Magnetospheric Multiscale
spacecraft on a billion-dollar mission to study the explosive give-and-take of the
Earth and sun's magnetic
fields.

— A Pennsylvania judge’s
decision to dismiss a challenge to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’
eligibility to run for president
could go to the state Supreme
Court.
The challenger, Pittsburgh resident Carmon Elliott, said Friday that he’ll

to pull up, flash its headlights a couple of times,
and then I was to get in
this car,” he told Weekly
Standard editor Bill Kristol in an interview last
year.
“So I felt like a spy,”
Alito said. “But they
wanted to make sure that
media didn’t get any word
about people who were being interviewed.”
The meeting took
place in the president’s
private upstairs living
quarters, away from the
eyes of reporters and
White House staff.
President
Barack
Obama’s search appears
to be focused on a small
group of appellate court
judges with a history of
bipartisan backing. The
investigation into a candidate’s background is
usually headed by highlevel Justice Department
officials and White House
aides. It can take days,
weeks or months, depending on how quickly White
House wants to act. In
some cases, the White
House already has a short
list of potential nominees
ready to go.
That was the case with
Clarence Thomas. He got
a call from White House
Counsel C. Boyden Gray
on the same day Justice
Thurgood Marshall announced his retirement.
Soon, Thomas was standing across the street from
the federal courthouse,
where he was an appellate
judge, waiting to catch a
ride to the Justice Department.
“Within a few minutes, I was seated at a
conference table in the
Justice
Department’s
situation room, which is
soundproofed so thickly
that your words seem
to die as soon as you say
them out loud,” Thomas
sin bread. Easter babka
bread, made with both
white and regular raisins
is there for the buying as
well. Let’s not forget about
our sacred Heart cookies,
there are over 300 dozen
of those made. You’ll also
see some new items such
as cherry nut eggs and almond cream cheese danishes; they are definitely a
must have.
This event has grown
so popular over the last
couple years that organizers are now offering a
shuttle service to the Activity Center. This year
ECC has graciously let
organizers use their parking lot, so now you can
park there and take the
shuttle to Sacred Heart.
The shuttle service will
start at 8:30 a.m. and run
until 3:30 p.m. Organizers
hope this makes it more
convenient for everyone
wishing to partake in the
Spring Fling.
wrote in his memoir, “My
Grandfather’s Son.”
Thomas says he was
quizzed by Attorney General Richard Thornburgh
and other senior Justice
Department officials with
questions such as who his
favorite Supreme Court
member was. His answer:
Scalia.
A few days later, President George H.W. Bush
called Thomas to invite
him to the presidential
retreat in Kennebunkport, Maine, to discuss the
possibility of a high court
nomination. Thomas took
a government plane from
Andrews Air Force base to
Maine and was driven to
the compound in a black
SUV with heavily tinted
windows.
One of the Secret Service agents “handed me
a folded newspaper and
asked me to hold it between my face and the
window, just like a whitecollar criminal who didn’t
want his picture to be
printed in the morning
papers,” Thomas wrote.
After meeting with the
president, Bush presented
Thomas as his choice for
the court.
More recently, Sonia
Sotomayor told C-SPAN
that she got lost in a torrential rain storm in 2009
during the drive from
New York City to Washington, D.C., the night
before Obama was set to
announce her as his first
high court pick. She had
asked a friend to drive her
after being told the White
House “would prefer that
I didn’t take a plane.”
“We got lost, and all of
a sudden I’m in Virginia,”
she said.
Her friend stopped the
car and, with some phone
guidance from a former
law clerk, they made it to
the White House in time.

Valentine leads No. 2 Michigan St. past Ohio St. 81-54
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —
Big Ten player of the year Denzel Valentine scored 19 points
and Eron Harris added 13 to
help No. 2 Michigan State blow
out Ohio State 81-54 in the Big
Ten Tournament quarterfinals
on Friday night.
The Spartans (27-5) have
won 11 of 12 and will face either
Nebraska or No. 18 Maryland
in Saturday’s semifinal.
JaQuan Lyle had 10 points
to lead the Buckeyes (20-13),
who have lost three of five and
must wait until Sunday to see
if they’ll get in the NCAA Tournament. Ohio State thought one
more impressive win could be
enough.
But Valentine refused to let
it happen against the Spartans.
He scored 10 points in an early
13-3 run, made a 3-pointer during an 8-0 run to start the second half and finished with nine
rebounds and eight assists.
Michigan State led by as
much as 28 in the second half.
The Buckeyes couldn’t get closer than 14 after that.
Valentine may have gotten
a triple double — if coach Tom
Izzo hadn’t pulled him from the
game with 5:28 to play so he
could get some extra rest before
the weekend.
The short-handed Buckeyes
just couldn’t stay with the deeper Spartans and it was evident
from start to finish.
Michigan State jumped to
a 17-7 lead in the first 6½ minutes and still led 33-26 at halftime.
The early run in the second
half gave the Spartans a 41-26
lead. Bryn Forbes’ 3-pointer
with 13:07 left extended the
lead to 20 and the Spartans continued pulling away late.
SHUT OUT
While it was a rough night
by every measure for the Buckeyes, their most obvious problem was the inability to make
3s. Ohio State missed its first
12 shots from beyond the arc
and didn’t end the drought until
Lyle made one with 74 seconds
to play. Ohio State finished 1 of
13, while the Spartans were 8 of
23.
TIP-INS
Buckeyes: Have lost five
straight in the Michigan State
series. ... Ohio State has played
five games against teams that
reached last year’s Final Four
and is now 1-4, losing three
times to Michigan State in 17
days, once to Wisconsin. The
lone win came against Kentucky
in December. ... The Buckeyes
lost for only the fourth time in
their last 19 Big Ten tourney
games.
Spartans: Are one win away
from playing for their third consecutive Big Ten tourney title in
Indianapolis. ... Matt Costello
had no blocks and remains tied
with Adreian Payne for second
on Michigan State’s career list
with 141. Branden Dawson has
the school record, 142. ... The
Spartans improved to 91-35 in
March games since 1998-99.
UP NEXT
Buckeyes: Will await postseason fate.
Spartans: Face either No.
18 Maryland or Nebraska in
Saturday’s second semifinal.
PSUD baseball coach hopeful College baseball roundup
for strong spring season
DuBOIS – The Penn
State DuBois Lions are
ready to start the spring
baseball season strong,
kicking things off today
with an away opener
at Houghton College in
Houghton, New York.
They’ll take to the diamond for their first home
contest against Keuka
College at 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 19, at Showers Field in DuBois.
“We’ve been really
working hard,” said head
coach Tom Calliari. “We
have 6 a.m. practices, and
everyone shows up. The
guys are dedicated. I’m
excited to get on the field
and see what our hard
work has produced.”
This is the first time
Penn State DuBois has
fielded a baseball team
since the early 90’s when
the program was cut due
to budgetary reasons. A
short Fall Ball season in
September offered the
team an opportunity to
test themselves and better prepare for the spring.
Calliari remarked of the
fall season, “It helped
us get a grasp on what
our strengths and weaknesses are, and gave us
an understanding of what
we are working with and
what to work on.”
So far, it appears that
knowing what to work on
has paid off. The DuBois
Lions have spent time
in the cage this winter
improving their skills
with the bat, and building greater skill within

game in September.
an already strong pitching staff. Calliari believes
when his team takes the
field, they’ll be ready.
“My expectations are
simple. I want to go to
the USCAA Small College World Series. That’s
our goal,” Calliari said. “It
will be a challenge for us,
but we can do this. It’s a
possibility.”
Another priority for
the program is to connect with the community,
providing family oriented
entertainment on a level
above the average college
baseball experience, but
keeping a home-town feel.
Calliari explained, “We really want the community
to connect with the team,
and it can happen. When
they come to a game, they
can expect to have a minor league atmosphere.
We have walk-out music,
video boards, and other
activities. It can really
be compared to a minor
league experience.”
Local business Scotty’s Doughnuts, for example, will host doughnut races for the prize of
a dozen doughnuts. Other
giveaways and special
theme days are planned,
as well.

with the fish during a
recent inspection. John
asked to purchase two
new fish feeders for the
pond as the old ones are
“shot”. The club agreed to
order two new feeders.
Steve Stanisch requested that the club look
at a different type of lighting for outside the barn
and garage. Steve was appointed as a committee of
one to look at new lights
and possibly purchase two
new lights using his discretion.

Hunters reminded to report
harvested banded pheasants
HARRISBURG — The
Pennsylvania Game Commission is finalizing a study
to assess harvest rates of
ring-necked
pheasants
raised on game farms, then
released to provide hunting
opportunities in Pennsylvania.
Game
Commission
wildlife biometrician Josh
Johnson said about 5,500
pheasants were banded before release on public lands
last fall.
It’s crucial for the success of this study that hunters report leg band information from harvested birds,
or even from those found
dead from other causes, by
March 31, 2016, by calling
the toll-free number on the
band.
Johnson
said
he’s
pleased with the reporting
response so far, as more
than 2,000 bands have been
reported.
“We thank all the dedicated hunters who have taken the time to report their
pheasant bands. Reporting
bands provides important
information that will be
used to assess future stocking strategies, and it shows
support for the pheasant
stocking program,” he said.
A similar study on
pheasant harvest rates was
conducted in the fall of 1998.
That study found about
50 percent of pheasants
stocked by the Game Commission were harvested.
Since then, however,
many changes to pheasantstocking strategies have
been implemented. These
changes aim for higher
harvest rates, but harvest
rates have not been evaluated since the changes took
place.
Results from this current study will shed further
light to redefine the pheasant-stocking program.
A report summarizing
the analyzed data from the
leg bands should be available this fall.

McCutchen gets second spring hit, PIAA basketball
a solo homer, in Pirates win
BRADENTON, Fla.
(AP) — Andrew McCutchen got just his second hit
of the spring — a long
solo home run — and the
Pittsburgh Pirates rallied
for a 4-3 victory against
the Tampa Bay Rays on
Friday.
Leading off the fourth
inning, McCutchen ripped
a line drive to left off Rays
right-hander Jake Odorizzi. It was McCutchen’s
second hit in 15 plate appearances.
“I’ll be ready to go,”
McCutchen said. “I’ve
been ready to go.”
Odorizzi
gave
up
three hits, walked two
and struck out three in 3
1/3 innings.
The Pirates scored
three runs in the eighth
with Gift Ngoepe’s twoout, RBI single giving
them the lead.
Taylor Motter, a Rays
infield prospect who hit
14 homers last season at
Triple-A Durham, tied
the game in the bottom of
the fourth with a blast off
Tony Watson. In the sixth,
Motter’s two-out double
scored Curt Casali.
STARTING TIME
Rays: Odorizzi said
the homer to McCutchen
came on a breaking ball.
“I think that’s the first
time I gave up a curveball
for a home run in the big
leagues,” Odorizzi said.
“Not a bad guy to give one
up to. I went back to it the
next pitch. I’m trying to
work on it.”
Pirates: Right-hander Juan Nicasio worked
three scoreless innings,
giving up three hits, one
walk and striking out
three.
“I’m feeling strong,”
Nicasio said. “I was feeling better in the third. My
breaking ball is better.”
The Pirates signed
Nicasio to a $3 million,
one-year deal this offseason expecting him to
be a reliever, but he’s being stretched out in case
someone in the rotation
is injured or ineffective
early in the season.
“I’m trying to remember what I was doing before, when I was a starter,”
said Nicasio, who was in
Colorado’s rotation from
2011-14. “I think I can
switch very quick. Today,
they said I would throw
three or four innings, so
I did my job. I don’t know
where it’s going to go from
here.”
THE STARTER
For the third year in a
row, left-hander Francisco
Liriano will be the Pirates’
opening day starter. Manager Clint Hurdle opted
for Liriano over righthander Gerrit Cole, who
was slowed at the start
of camp by rib inflammation.
Cole is scheduled to
start his first Grapefruit
League game on Sunday.
He won’t ramp up to six
innings of work until the
end of spring training.
“Since I’ve been here,
we’ve never started a
pitcher in the major
leagues who hasn’t gone
six innings and 100 pitches at some point in spring
training,” Hurdle said.
NEW GUYS
Rays: RHP David
Carpenter, 30, who was
waived last week by the
Atlanta Braves, signed
a minor league contract
with an invitation to big
league camp. He was inactive for about a week,
but threw a bullpen session on Friday
“It’s a little confusing why he’s available,
but we’ll take a chance on
him,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said. “Big arm.
He could put himself in
the mix here.”
Last season, Carpenter put up a 4.01 ERA in
30 relief outings with the
New York Yankees and
Washington Nationals.
Pirates: With 3B Jung
Ho Kang set to open the
season on the disabled
list, the Pirates signed
INF David Freese to a $3
million, one-year contract.
Freese, 32, spent the
past two seasons with
the Los Angeles Angels.
In 2015, he played in 121
games and hit .257 with
14 home runs and a .743
OPS.
“He adds a very talented bat to our club and
is an experienced winner,”
general manager Neal
Huntington said. “He’s going to bounce around the
field for us and gives us
an insurance policy until
Jung Ho is ready to go.”
Freese is expected
to be in Pirates’ camp on
Saturday morning.
Pitcher Jesse Biddle
was designated for assignment.
INJURY REPORT
Rays: 1B/OF Steve
Pearce (tight right calf)
began running on a treadmill and hopes to be ready
to play in games next
week.
“It’s gradually improving, but we’ve got to
be careful,” Cash said.
“I’m glad he wants to get
the at-bats (next week),
but we want him healthy
and ready to go instead of
worrying about getting an
extra five or six at-bats.”
CUBA-BOUND
Rays: Derek Jeter,
Luis Tiant and Jose
Cardenal will accompany the Rays to Havana
for their game March 22
against the Cuban national team.
UP NEXT
Rays:
LHP
Matt
Moore will start Saturday against the New York
Yankees.
Pirates: LHP Jeff
Locke will make his third
spring start Saturday
against the Detroit Tigers.
Last week, Locke gave up
four runs on four hits in
two innings against the
Tigers.
Fleury gets 350th win,
Penguins beat Blue Jackets 3-2
COLUMBUS,
Ohio
(AP) — Marc-Andre Fleury became the 20th NHL
goalie with 350 victories
and the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Columbus
Blue Jackets 3-2 Friday
night.
Kris Letang, Chris
Kunitz and Carl Hagelin scored for Pittsburgh,
and Evgeni Malkin and
Phil Kessel each had two
assists. The Penguins
jumped ahead of Detroit
for the first wild-card spot
in the Eastern Conference.
Fleury made 11 of his
25 saves in the third period.
Gregory Campbell had
a goal and an assist and
Cam Atkinson also scored
for the Blue Jackets, who
came into the game with
points in 12 of their last 15
games. Sergei Bobrovksy
made 28 saves in his first
action since Jan. 21. The
former Vezina Trophy winner missed the previous 19
games recovering from his
third groin injury this season that has limited him to
28 games.
Sidney Crosby and
Brandon Dubinsky were
on the ice together for the
first time since Dubinsky
crosschecked the superstar
in the neck on Nov. 27, but
they didn’t lock horns. Dubinsky was suspended one
game by the NHL.
Bobrovksy stuck out
his pad to make a nice save
12 seconds into the game,
but he put himself in a few
tough spots shortly after
in an action-packed first 5
minutes. Bobrovsky sailed
a puck over the glass for a
delay of game penalty and
proceeded to lose his stick
on the Penguins’ power
play, leading to some tense
moments for Columbus.
Jared Boll set up
Campbell for his first score
in 47 games at 5:05 to start
the scoring.
After some rough stuff
resulted in a Penguins
power play, Letang tied it
at 14:23 for his 13th with
a one-timer inside the blue
line.
Kunitz’s 13th put the
Penguins ahead 2-1 45
seconds into the second period. He whacked in a loose
puck after the Blue Jackets couldn’t clear the zone.
Atkinson scored his
24th on a breakaway deke
of Fleury about 2 minutes
later. Fleury redeemed
himself later in the period
by poke-checking the puck
on another breakaway by
Atkinson.
But 1:49 later, after
three successive saves by
Bobrovksy in traffic that
the Blue Jackets couldn’t
clear from danger, Hagelin jabbed the puck in from
the crease.
Columbus’ Ryan Murray clanked a slap shot off
the crossbar with 4:50 remaining.
Flyers 3, Lightning 1
TAMPA, Fla. (AP)
— Steve Mason made 18
saves, Sam Gagner and
Matt Read both scored
power-play goals and the
Philadelphia Flyers beat
the Tampa Bay Lightning
3-1 on Friday night.
Brayden Schenn also
scored for the Flyers. Philadelphia had been off since
beating the Lightning 4-2
Monday night in Philadelphia to end Tampa Bay’s
franchise-record nine-game
winning streak.
The victory moved the
Flyers within two points of
Detroit for the second Eastern Conference wild-card
spot.
The Lightning, second
in the Atlantic Division, got
a goal from Brian Boyle, and
Ben Bishop made 19 saves.
Tampa Bay is 0-2-1 since its
long winning stretch ended.
Mason had a nice save
on Ondrej Palat’s redirection late in the second. He
lost the bid for his fifth
shutout this season and
31st overall when Boyle
scored with 2:42 left in the
third.
Read moved in from the
blue line and sent a slap
shot from the top of the
right circle past Bishop 3:34
into the second for the Flyers’ second power-play goal
and a 2-0 lead.
The Flyers took a 3-0
advantage at 7:56 of the
second when Bishop ended
up out of position following
an ill-advised poke-check
attempt on Schenn’s wraparound goal.
After Tampa Bay captain Steven Stamkos received a 4-minute highsticking penalty, Gagner
opened the scoring during
the ensuing power play at
8:57 of the first.
Tampa Bay went without a shot for the first 9 1-2
minutes of the third period.
4 OTS! Adams’ heave sparks
UConn over Cincinnati 104-97
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP)
— Jalen Adams wasn’t
about to have his season end
without a fight.
Taking an inbounds
pass with less than a second
to play, Adams took a couple
of dribbles and banked in a
3-pointer from beyond halfcourt to end the third overtime and UConn went on to
beat Cincinnati 104-97 in
the fourth extra period Friday in the quarterfinals of
the American Athletic Conference Tournament.
“I’ve got to get a shot
off,” Adams said of his
thoughts when he had the
ball in his hands. “If it goes
in, it would be amazing, and
if we lost at least we would
go out fighting.”
The Huskies (22-10)
moved into the semifinals
Friday against top-seeded Temple and gave their
NCAA Tournament hopes a
huge boost. Cincinnati fell to
22-10, but still has a shot to
get into the NCAA Tournament.
The Bearcats appeared
to have the game won when
Kevin Johnson hit a 3-pointer from the left wing in the
closing seconds of the third
overtime.
“I saw them make a 3, I
was upset about it, but the
least I could do was to get a
shot up,” Adams said. “Daniel passed me the ball, and
nobody was in front of me, so
I shot the ball as quick as I
could and I watched it go in.
And that was just amazing.”
Cincinnati coach Mick
Cronin wasn’t convinced
there should have been a
fourth overtime.
“In 0.8 you can’t catch
the ball, take two steps and
then shoot it,” he said. “You
can’t catch it, turn, bring it
below your waist, and then
shoot it with enough force
to shoot it 80 feet in 0.8 sec-
onds. The clock didn’t start
nearly on time. I’ve already
watched it five times. So it’s
unfortunate that that happened to my kids.
“So, in defense of my
kids, I’m obviously upset,
but like I say, congratulations to (UConn coach) Kevin (Ollie) and his team.”
Adams was also the
hero at the end of the second overtime, floating a layup over a big Cincinnati
defender to tie the game at
75 with 5.5 seconds left. Just
before that, Troy Caupain
floated a difficult left-handed hook shot in the lane over
a defender with 14.9 seconds
left.
And the miracle heave
wasn’t the end of the heroics
for Adams. He scored eight
of his career-high 24 points
in the fourth overtime.
He made two baskets,
sandwiched around his key
offensive rebound that led
two free throws by Sterling
Gibbs that put UConn up
for good, 92-91 with 3:09 left.
Adams also made four free
throws in the 33 seconds.
“That was amazing,”
Adams said. “That was the
best game, and the longest
game.”
Daniel Hamilton had the
last two free throws to seal it
and finish with a career-high
32 points. He also had 12 rebounds and eight assists.
Caupain finished with a
career-high 37 points.
“The game’s never over
until it’s over. Until one team
wins,” Caupin said. “But we
thought the game was over
too early and he hit a shot
that put it into another overtime, which let us know that
the game wasn’t over and we
had to fight another round,
another battle. I wouldn’t
say that we gave up. We
fought to the finish. The
game ended how it did.”

Depleted 76ers snap
13-game losing streak,
beat Nets 95-89
PHILADELPHIA (AP)
— Carly Landry scored 16
points, Nerlens Noel had
13 points and 11 rebounds
and the Philadelphia 76ers
snapped a 13-game losing
streak with a 95-89 victory
over the Brooklyn Nets on
Friday night.
Ish Smith added 10
points, nine assists and
seven rebounds for the Sixers (9-56), who won their
first game since Feb. 6 —
also against Brooklyn —
despite dealing with several injuries.
Robert
Covington
finished with 12 points
on 4-for-6 shooting from
3-point range for the Sixers before exiting with 9:40
left in the third quarter. He
was kicked in the face by
teammate Jerami Grant in
a collision under the basket. He remained on the
court for several minutes
before being taken off on a
stretcher and transported
to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, where he
was being evaluated for a
possible neck injury.
Grant also did not return following the collision, and Richaun Holmes
later left in the second
half with a strained right
Achilles. Leading scorer
Jahlil Okafor also missed
his sixth straight game for
the depleted Sixers. It was
revealed before the game
that Okafor will have season-ending surgery on his
right knee.
Brook Lopez scored
24 points for the Nets (1847), who have lost three
straight and finished the
longest road trip of the
NBA season with a 3-6
mark. Brooklyn’s ninegame, 18-day trek began
on Feb. 23 at Portland.
Thaddeus Young, who
spent first seven seasons
with Philadelphia, had 21
points and nine rebounds
for the Nets in a matchup
between the two worst
teams in the Eastern Conference.
Trailing by 15 early
in the second half, the
Nets pulled within five
at 76-71 heading into the
fourth quarter and again
got within five on Wayne
Ellington’s 3-pointer with
4:10 left.
But Landry, called into
extra duty because of his
team’s injury troubles, responded with buckets each
time to help Philly preserve
its lead. Landry’s dunk
with 2:15 left, which followed a tough rebound on
the other end, gave Philly a
92-84 lead and helped seal
the win.
Landry, who averages only 12 minutes per
game, scored all but two
of his points in the second
half while adding eight rebounds in 25 minutes.
The Sixers started both
quarters of the first half
fast, opening up 17-6 lead
behind seven early points
from Hollis Thompson and
going on a 9-0 run early in
the second quarter. Backup
point guard T.J. McConnell
spurred that spurt with a
3-pointer and an assist to
Isaiah Canaan that gave
the Sixers a 36-23 lead with
9:23 left.
The Sixers led by as
many as 19 in the first half
before going into halftime
with a 53-45 advantage.
Hornets 118, Pistons
103
CHARLOTTE,
N.C.
(AP) — Marvin Williams
tied a career high with five
3-pointers and scored 22
points, and the Charlotte
Hornets beat the Detroit
Pistons 118-103 on Friday night for their sixth
straight win.
Nicolas Batum added
17 points and 11 assists for
the Hornets, who have won
12 of their last 14 games.
Kemba Walker, who had
scored at least 30 points in
each of the previous four
games, finished with 16
points and eight assists.
With the win the Hornets (36-28) moved eight
games over .500 for the
first time since the end of
the 2000-01 season. They’d
never reached that mark
during the Bobcats era.
Kentavious CaldwellPope had 24 points and
Reggie Jackson had 20
points and 10 rebounds for
the Pistons. Detroit entered
the night a half-game ahead
of Chicago for the eighth
and final playoff spot in the
Eastern Conference.
The Hornets were hot
from the start, shooting 54
percent from the field to
build a 69-53 lead at halftime.
Williams had 14 points
in the first half, including 3
of 4 from 3-point range as
the Pistons were slow getting out to get a hand in
the veteran forward’s face.
Batum had 10 points and
seven boards at the break
and the Hornets scored 15
points of Detroit turnovers
to set the tone.
There was a scary moment for the Hornets early
in the third quarter when
Walker drove the lane and
caught an arm to the head
from Reggie Jackson, who
was called for a flagrant
foul.
Walker was slow to
get up but remained in the
game and sank both free
throws to put the Hornets
up 73-58.
Detroit would cut the
lead to six in the fourth
quarter on a 3-pointer by
Marcus Morris, but the
Hornets’ reserves helped
the team pull away.
Rookie forward Frank
Kaminsky hit a fall-away
jumper, Jeremy Lin found
Courtney Lee with a nolook pass for a fast-break
layup and Al Jefferson
scored twice in the low post
to push the lead 16. Jefferson, who has been working
in a reserve role since coming back from an injury,
had 12 points.
Kaminsky continues to
improve with his low-post
moves and hit his first four
shots from the field and finished with 10 points.
Lee, acquired recently
in a trade, is steadily improving for the Hornets and
had 15 points.

No. 1 Kansas beats No. 22 Baylor
70-66 in Big 12 semifinals
KANSAS CITY, Mo.
(AP) — Perry Ellis had 20
points, Devonte Graham
added 14 points and eight
assists, and top-ranked
Kansas held on through
a shaky finish to beat No.
22 Baylor 70-66 in the Big
12 Tournament semifinals
Friday night.
Wayne
Selden
Jr.
dunked his way to 11 points
for the Jayhawks (29-4),
who muddled through an
ugly first half before eventually avenging their loss
to the Bears (22-11) in last
year’s semifinals.
Kansas will play sixthranked Oklahoma or No. 9
West Virginia for the title
Saturday night.
The Jayhawks were
in control when coach Bill
Self put in his reserves
late, but a series of missed
free throws and turnovers allowed the Bears
to make a run. After Baylor got within 68-64 with
20 seconds left, Self had
no choice but to send his
starters back in.
Jonathan Motley’s putback got the Bears within
three with five seconds to
go, but Graham calmly
made the second of two
free throws at the other
end to put the game away.
Rico Gathers had 13
points and nine boards for
the Bears.
No. 13 Purdue 89, Illinois 58
INDIANAPOLIS (AP)
— Reserve center Isaac
Haas scored 16 points on
8-of-9 shooting and Purdue
crushed Illinois in the Big
Ten Tournament quarterfinals.
Vince Edwards added
14 points, Caleb Swanigan had 11 points and
12 rebounds and Dakota
Mathias added 11 for Purdue (25-7), which shot 58.3
percent.
The
Boilermakers
made 24 of their first 36
shots, including 8 of 14
from 3-point range, taking a 60-27 lead on P.J.
Thompson’s 3-pointer with
15:59 left. Consecutive

Illinois (15-19) got

Morgan, 16 from Malcolm
Hill and 13 from Kendrick
Nunn.
No. 7 North Carolina
78, Notre Dame 47
WASHINGTON (AP)
— With Marcus Paige leading the way, North Carolina scored 24 consecutive
points over a 9 1/2-minute
span bridging halftime
and easily beat defending
champion Notre Dame for
a spot in the ACC Tournament final.
UNC (27-6) reached its
record 34th ACC title game
and fifth in the past six
years. But the Tar Heels
have gone 0-4 in finals in
that span, including a loss
to the Fighting Irish a year
ago.
UNC will meet Virginia or Miami on Saturday.
Whatever doubts there
might have been about the
Tar Heels as the NCAAs
approach were wiped away
during the game-changing
run. In sum, this was relentless and riveting. And
it all happened with Brice
Johnson on the sideline,
sitting with two fouls.
No. 3 Villanova 76,
Providence 68
NEW
YORK
(AP)
— Kris Jenkins scored
21 points and Villanova
smothered
Providence
stars Ben Bentil and Kris
Dunn on defense, advancing to the Big East championship game with a victory at Madison Square
Garden.
Ryan Arcidiacono added 15 points and a headlong dive over the press
table, landing two or three
rows deep, Derek Jeterstyle. Hobbled center Daniel Ochefu scored all eight
of his points in the final
6:41, helping the top-seeded Wildcats (29-4) hold on
down the stretch.
They will try to win
their second consecutive
tournament title when they
face the Seton Hall-Xavier
winner on Saturday night.
Stars on both sides
were shut down in a tightly
called game that left both
coaches seething at the officials.
Bentil, who scored 38
points in a quarterfinal
win over Butler, was held
to a season-low three and
fouled out midway through
the second half. He came in
leading the Big East at 21.7
per game.
No. 16 Kentucky 85,
Alabama 59
NASHVILLE,
Tenn.
(AP) — Jamal Murray
scored 23 points, Alex
Poythress made a careerbest four 3-pointers and
Kentucky had an easy time
in a rout of Alabama in the
Southeastern Conference
Tournament.
Playing about 50 miles
southeast of his Clarksville, Tennessee, home,
Poythress put on an offensive show in his final SEC
tournament with 7-of-8
shooting including 4 of
5 from long range for 20
points. It was the senior
forward’s third 20-point
game this season and first
since posting a career-best
25 at Alabama on Jan. 9.
Murray added perimeter shots as second-seeded
Kentucky finished 13 of 23
from behind the arc to beat
the 10th-seeded Crimson
Tide (18-14) for the third
time this season. The Wildcats advanced to Saturday’s
semifinal against the Georgia-South Carolina winner.
Tyler Ulis added 17
points for the Wildcats,
who led by as many as 26.
No. 17 Texas A&M 72,
Florida 66
NASHVILLE,
Tenn.
(AP) — Jalen Jones made
a go-ahead layup with 2:08
remaining and Alex Caruso
followed with a steal and layup 13 seconds later to key
a late 7-0 run that pushed
Texas A&M past Florida in
the Southeastern Conference Tournament.

NCAA seeks background of Paterno critique of Penn St. report
By Mark Scolforo
Associated Press
BELLEFONTE (AP)
— The estate of former
Penn State football coach
Joe Paterno should have
to turn over background
details on a 2013 “critique”
produced for his family in
response to a universitycommissioned report that
criticized his handling of
the Jerry Sandusky child
sexual abuse scandal, college sports’ governing body
argued Friday.
The NCAA told the

types of details that the
NCAA has had to turn over
about the 2012 report for
Penn State by former FBI
director Louis Freeh.
“What we have here is,
in our view, a goose-andgander situation,” said
NCAA lawyer Kip Johnson
during a hearing to sort
out disputes over what the
sides should have to disclose to each other before
trial.
Lawyers for the Paternos argued to Judge John
Leete that the two reports
have an important difference — Penn State gave

did not review the report
before it was published in
July 2012, while the February 2013 critique was
produced by the law firm

They said former Gov.

two other critique authors
were serving as consulting
experts, so the material the
NCAA wants is protected
by attorney-client privilege.
“Publication does not

suing the NCAA for commercial
disparagement,

plaints about Sandusky
to avoid bad publicity, has
been a lightning rod for
criticism by those who feel
its research methods were
flawed and say it drew conclusions unsupported by
the facts.
Joe Paterno died in
January 2012 of complications from lung cancer.
Sandusky was convicted
later that year of 45 counts
of child sexual abuse and
is serving a 30- to 60-year
prison sentence. He maintains his innocence, and
this week his lawyers filed
an amended appeal under
the state’s Post Conviction
Relief Act.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX®
COPYRIGHT 2001 CREATORS SINDICATE, INC.
Dear Annie: Eight years ago, I
moved in with my parents to help care
for them. My dad passed away shortly
after. My mother has some minor health
issues but can get around. Annie, as the
years have passed, it has become a miserable existence. There are no visitors to
our house. I’m sure the reason is Mom’s
chronic complaints. According to her,
there is nothing good in her life.
My only sibling lives several hours
away. Other than regular phone calls and
an occasional visit, there is no help. For
the past few weeks, my mother has had
a major health problem and she refuses
to go to the doctor. I told her this has
gone on long enough, and she needs to
see the physician. I thought some “tough
love” would convince her. Instead, she
yelled at me and cursed me several
times. That was terribly hurtful.
Although I think Mom is showing some small signs of mild dementia,
she has it pretty much together. Even
so, I cannot fix her health issues if she
refuses to see her doctor. I am stressed
beyond belief and at the end of my rope.
I have tried counseling, and although it
helped with the frustration, it doesn’t
solve the ongoing problem. Can you offer me some advice? -- Stressed Daughter
Dear Daughter: The “mild dementia” may be the reason Mom is so stubborn and belligerent toward you. Is your
mother eligible to see a visiting nurse?
Check out vnaa.org to find out how to get
a trained professional to come to your
home and examine your mother. If the
nurse says that Mom needs to see a phy-
“ALL THE NEWS YOU CAN USE”
sician, she may be more likely to listen,
and it’s possible that the nurse can contact Mom’s doctor directly. Then, please
check out the Family Caregiver Alliance
(caregiver.org). The site offers support
and information for caregivers, and can
help you find respite care for yourself.
Dear Annie: Your advice to “A
Daily Reader,” who didn’t like his smile,
was wrong. The importance of a smile,
especially a toothy one, is an American
obsession. In Europe and elsewhere, the
product of this emphasis is seen as insincere.
For many of us, our natural smile
does not include showing teeth. Ever
notice the huge smilers who show too
much teeth and gums? It always looks a
little odd to me. But if that is their natural
smile, wouldn’t you expect that there are
others on the opposite end of the spectrum?
No one’s smile needs to be “fixed.”
-- Aucun Afficher de Dents (No Teeth on
Display)
Dear Aucun: We don’t care whether people smile or not. We care whether
they are so embarrassed by their teeth
that they avoid social contact. If that
is the case, there are steps to take to
remedy the situation so the person feels
more comfortable. Being able to smile
naturally can make a big difference in
your life. We aren’t changing our advice,
but “merci beaucoup” for writing.

YOUR INDIVIDUAL HOROSCOPE
For Sunday, March 13, 2016 - by Francis Drake
ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
Maintain a low profile. This is the
perfect time for you to begin to
plan what you want for your new
year (birthday to birthday) to be
all about. Ideas?
TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
Continue to grab every chance
to socialize, because this is a
popular time for you. Share your
hopes and dreams for the future
with others, because their feedback will help you.
GEMINI
(May 21 to June 20)
With the Sun high in your chart
now, you are noticeable to everyone, especially people in
power. It’s a flattering light, so
make your move!
CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)
Travel if you can at this time,
because you want a change
of scenery. If not, be a tourist
in your own city. Sign up for a
course. Learn something new.
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
It behooves you now to take
care of loose details regarding
inheritances, taxes, debt and
shared property. Get as much of
this stuff out of the way as you
can.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
Remember that you need more
sleep now because the Sun is
opposite your sign. Respect
your need for more rest. This
only happens once a year.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Do whatever you can to get better organized, because it will
please you. You want to feel that
you are on top of your scene and
that your life is running smoothly.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Grab every opportunity to steal
away on a vacation or just have
fun. Playful times with children,
romance and social occasions
will please you now.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
Your interactions with family
members are important. In fact,
discussions with a parent are
significant. This is a good time
to tackle home repairs.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
Short trips, reading, writing and
studying, plus time spent with
siblings, are on your menu now.
Make time for these things, because it’s appropriate.
AQUARIUS

Study your earnings and assets,
and know what you are worth.
Figure out what you owe in order to get a true picture of your
financial scene.
PISCES
(Feb. 19 to March 20)
Continue to use this wonderful
time when the Sun energizes
you. It’s easy to attract favorable
situations and important people
to you.
YOU BORN TODAY Many of
you believe in fate because of
the curious twists and turns that
your own life takes. You are courageous and sometimes even
prophetic. This year you have
something valuable to learn.
Fear not -- it might not be apparent in the first half of the year,
but soon your efforts of the past
six years will manifest results!
Your payoff is coming.

WILKINSBURG (AP)
— Police on Friday sought
to identify the two men
who ambushed a backyard
cookout and methodically
shot and killed six people, including a pregnant
woman and her fetus.
The gunmen appeared
to have targeted one or
two of the victims in the
Wednesday night attack,
and drugs haven’t been
ruled out as a motive, said
District Attorney Stephen
Zappala.
“The murders were
planned. They were calculated, brutal,” Zappala
said.
Neighbors
brought
balloons, stuffed animals
and prayers to the home
Friday at a growing makeshift memorial. A group
from a local church joined
hands with neighbors and
others to pray in front of
the house.
Police were seeking
to identify the two men
who seemingly worked as
a team to shoot and kill
the partygoers Wednesday night. Police have no
suspects, and officials said
Friday they have no new
information to release.
A county executive
urged witnesses to come
forward.
Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald
said providing any information “can be our first
step to stopping the violence in our communities.”
“As a community,
we must say enough is
enough,” he said.
Four women, one of
them eight months pregnant, and one man were
killed when a gunman
fired a .40-caliber pistol at
the partygoers, who were
playing cards and having
a late-night cookout.
That steered the victims toward the rear porch
and door of the house,
where
an
accomplice
armed with a 7.62 mm
rifle similar to an AK-47
shot them from behind a
chain-link fence less than
10 feet from the porch,
Zappala said. Two others
were critically wounded.
A medical examiner
ruled the death of the fetus a homicide, bringing
the fatalities in the attack
to six.
Community members
and religious leaders held
a vigil in front of the house
Thursday night, praying
for the families and calling for an end to such violence.
Wilkinsburg is a poorer, largely blighted suburb
just east of Pittsburgh that
is known for drug trafficking and gun violence. But
neighbors described the
street on which the shooting occurred as generally
quiet.
Mike Jones, 57, lives
in a duplex on a small hill
overlooking the alley and
backyard where the shooting occurred. He said violence is rare in his neighborhood.
“This is unheard of,”
Funeral Services
FORD – Funeral services for Shirley A. Ford
will be held in the Maria Lutheran Church on
Monday, March 14 at
noon with the Rev. Erik
Hart, pastor, officiating.
Burial will follow in the
Maria Lutheran Cem-
etery.
Visitation is at the
Lynch-Radkowski Funeral Home on Sunday evening, March 13 from 6-8
p.m.
Online
condolences
may be offered at www.
lynch-radkowski.com.
Jones said of the ambush,
shaking his head as homicide detectives milled
about in the yard and alley. “It doesn’t happen
around here.”
The dead included
three siblings, Brittany
Powell, 27, who lived at
the home; Jerry Shelton,
35; and Chanetta Powell,
25, who was eight months
pregnant. The other two
were Shada Mahone, 26,
and Tina Shelton, 37. All
had multiple wounds and
had been shot in the head.
“My whole family was
massacred,” said Jessica
Shelton, the mother of the
siblings and aunt of the
other two killed.
Union delays
no-confidence
vote at
Cal. U. of Pa.
CALIFORNIA
(AP)
— The faculty union at a
state-owned southwestern
Pennsylvania university
has delayed a no-confidence vote.
The union at California University of Pennsylvania planned to begin
voting next week, but decided Friday to delay that
after meeting with the administration.
The vote centers on the
university’s interim president, Geraldine Jones, its
council of trustees and
three vice presidents.
Union president Barbara Hess says faculty
members agreed to continue talks with the administration and hope “to resolve some long-standing
issues.”
Geraldine Jones was
named acting president in
May 2012, but the school
is mulling three finalists
to replace her.

We found a leprechaun to
answer questions about these mysterious little
people! He wouldn’t really show himself to us.
Mostly what we saw during the interview were
his lips, oversized sunglasses and his hat.

A: We make shoes for the fairies.
Silly fairies wear out their shoes
quickly because they dance all
night. We are always busy making
new shoes for them. They pay us
with gold. Lots of gold!
Standards Link: Measurement: Use standard measurement.
Reading Comprehension: Read grade-level appropriate materials.
A: It isn’t easy. If you should see a
leprechaun, get as close as you can
without him seeing you.
Quickly take him in your
grasp and don’t take your
eyes off of him. Then ask
where his pot of gold is
hidden.
Follow the
path to the
leprechaun’s
pot of gold.
He will try to talk you
into looking away. If you do look
the other way, he will be gone
when you look back.
Standards Link: Spelling: Spell grade
appropriate words correctly in context.
Leprechaun’s shoe shelf has toppled.
Can you match the pairs of fairy shoes?
Standards Link: Investigation: Find similarities and differences in
common objects; identify matching attributes.
A: We play tricks on people who don’t believe in us. We especially
like to bother teachers who try to tell children that we don’t exist.
Look through the
