Mom, he said after she encouraged him to
seek mental health treatment after his time in
the Marine Corps.
The 26-year-old echoed a sentiment shared
by many military veterans, particularly those
who are struggling to readjust to civilian
life. But why Dan chose to end his life is a
question his parents ask themselves incessantly but cant answer.
Why?
Maybe, they theorize, he felt like a failure
despite his strides to be the best at everything. Maybe he felt like a misfit in the civilian world. Maybe he was suffering from
post-traumatic stress after witnessing something he never shared.
Ive gone through it in my head a million
times. But Im going to be going through it for

California council discusses CM Services, lack of bids

By Mike Tony
mtony@heraldstandard.com
CALIFORNIA, Pa.
Borough council
members acknowledged having an invoice
from the company that
did engineering and
construction work for
its newly renovated
borough building, but
declined to pay it.
During councils
regular meeting last
week, Councilman Phil
Difilippo said there was
an outstanding invoice
for $1,453 from CM Services for engineering
fees.
Councilman Jon
Bittner said he believes
the borough may have to

enter into litigation with
the company because
of the lack of recent
progress on some minor
unfinished things related
to the project.
Borough Administrator Dr. Richard
Martin added he is

for a response to outstanding project issues.
He said the companys
communication with

matters had been limited

Martin reported that

Wharf project, a pier and
boat launch construction

initiative, despite six
candidates expressing
interest, saying that the
project would need to be
advertised again.
Councilman Chip Glab
suggested targeting
specialty contractors
in trade publications.
A motion to bid the
project again passed
unanimously.
Martin also reported

Kerry nearing decision on whether IS atrocities are genocide

WASHINGTON (AP) The
Obama administration is nearing a
decision on whether to formally declare that Islamic State group atrocities against religious minorities,
including Christians, constitute
genocide.
As impatient lawmakers and
religious groups step up calls for
action, Secretary of State John
Kerry is leaning toward making
the determination and could do
so as early as next week, when a
congressional deadline for action
has been set, according to several
administration officials.
However, the officials cautioned
that a legal review is still under way
and said it is likely Kerry will not
meet the March 17 deadline. The
House will vote on Monday on a
bill that would identify the Islamic
States actions against Christians,
Yezidis and other groups, including
the Kurds, as genocide, war crimes

and crimes against humanity.
An executive branch determination of genocide, however, would
be different and be fraught with
moral and potential legal consequences. It would also mark only
the second time a U.S. administration has reached that conclusion
while a conflict is ongoing. The first
was in 2004 when Secretary of State
Colin Powell determined that atrocities being committed in Sudans
Darfur region constituted genocide.
Powell reached that determination amid much lobbying from
human rights groups but only after
State Department lawyers advised
him that it would not, contrary to
legal advice offered to previous administrations, obligate the United
States to take action to stop it. In
that case, the lawyers decided that
the 1948 U.N. Convention against
genocide did not impose a legal

obligation on states to prevent
genocide from taking place outside
of their territory. Powell instead
called for the U.N. Security Council
to appoint a commission to investigate and take appropriate legal
action if it agreed with the genocide
determination.
Kerry faces similar issues. Although the United States is already
involved in military strikes against
the Islamic State and has helped
prevent some incidents of ethnic
cleansing, notably of Yezidis, some
argue that a genocide determination could require additional U.S.
action. At the least, a determination
would probably be accompanied by
a referral to the Security Council
for possible prosecution by either
the International Criminal Court
or other tribunal that might be set
up specifically for Syria and Iraq.

Shameful
Appointment of embezzler
to county board questioned
Incredible and unbelievable.
That probably summed up the reaction
of many local residents when they read
in the Herald-Standard on Friday that
the Fayette County commissioners had
appointed a convicted embezzler to the
Fayette County Airport Authority Board.
The appointment of Monty Cash
Lilley had come via a unanimous vote
by the commissioners.
And this wasnt some simple scheme.
In fact, it was one of the worst whitecollar crimes imaginable, involving the
theft of $3.1 million from the pensions of
approximately 100 workers. Lilley was
ordered to serve 30 months in prison and
pay $3 million in restitution.
In the memorandum opinion written
by then-District Judge Alan N. Bloch,
Lilleys actions were called abhorrent.
Monty Lilley virtually wiped out the
plans funds by converting assets to his
own personal use, wrote Bloch. (He)
used the funds in the plan to purchase
the company from its prior owner; to
pay back rent owned by (his) real estate
company; to pay back rent on his personal residence; to pay corporate debts
of the company; to make a deposit on
the purchase of his personal residence;
to pay the balance of closing costs on
his personal residence; and to purchase
a $10,000 Harley Davidson motorcycle.
From the plans assets of in excess of
$3 million, (Lilley) embezzled and willfully appropriated all except approximately $3,000, added Bloch.
So, how the heck did someone with this
type of background get appointed to an
authority, which handles hundreds of
thousands of dollars in grants and taxpayer funds? Thats the question that the
commissioners will have to answer at
some point, the sooner the better.
The answer we dont want to hear is
that the commissioners knew nothing
about Lilleys background. It was only
last year that the commissioners reappointed Larry Markwood to its Industrial Development Authority. The only
problem was that Markwood had died
in 2012.
The commissioners deservedly took
a lot of heat for the appointment, and
they all vowed to scrutinize such selections more carefully in the future. Vince
Zapotosky chose not to seek re-election
and Al Ambrosini was defeated in his
re-election bid last fall, leaving Angela
Zimmerlink as the lone holdover from
last year. As such, she certainly should
get the lions share of criticism for the
appointment of Lilley to the board. Its
either incompetency or negligence, and
neither of those attributes are befitting
of a county commissioner. Simply put,
Zimmerlink failed to do her job in fully
vetting this appointment.
However, the other commissioners
Vince Vicites and Dave Lohr also share
in this fiasco. Vicites was in office for 16
years prior to being elected last fall. He
certainly should know the importance of
making background checks on such appointments, especially one as important
as the Fayette County Airport Authority
Board. While hes a newcomer, Lohr
was elected to provide insight as a businessmen and an outsider. Unfortunately,
neither of those traits helped him here.
The bottom line is the commissioners
have to do a much better job in this area.
Its an embarrassment not just for the
commissioners but for all county residents, who have to put up with this nonsense. We said it last year, and well say
it again. This cant be allowed to happen.
We can only hope it sinks in this time.
Also, Lilley must resign his post. He
left the airport authority board meeting
without saying whether he would step
down or not. He has no choice. He
must step down. If he doesnt, then the
commissioners should rescind the appointment and find a more qualified
candidate for the post. Of course, thats
something they should have done in the
first place.
Pa. primary behind, held too late

The presidential primary
elections are drawing huge
interest, especially among
Republicans, as Donald
Trump tries to stave off challenges from U.S. senators
Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz
and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
On the Democratic Party
ticket, Hillary Clinton is
leading U.S. Sen. Bernie
Sanders, but the Vermont
senator has generated much
enthusiasm in his campaign,
especially among young
people, and its still too early
to write him off.
All in all, it seems that
more people are interested
in politics than theyve
been for quite some time.
Even the Herald-Standard
opinion poll showed this
phenomenon. Of the 762
people who took part in our
poll about interest in the
primaries, 55 percent said
they were closely following
the presidential primaries
with another 25 percent
saying they were somewhat
following the races. Only 5
percent said they had no interest in the campaigns.
So, voters should be lining
up to vote in Pennsylvanias
presidential primary on
April 26, right? Well, not so
fast. The biggest problem is
that theres a good chance
both races could be over
by time the commonwealth
gets around to holding its
primary.
Its been this way since
the primaries first took hold
back in the 1950s. Pennsylvanias primary is usually
Mark
OKeefe
held in late April, when the
nominations have already
been decided. The only exception was back in 2008
when Hillary Clinton and
Barack Obama were locked
in a fight for the Democratic
presidential nomination, and
the race was still being contested when Pennsylvania
held its primary that year.
Then, both Hillary and her
husband, Bill, made stops
in Fayette County. Clinton
went on to beat Obama in
Fayette County and Pennsylvania although she lost out to
him for the nomination.
Things could have been
different this year. Last
year, State Rep. Keith
Greiner, a Republican from
Lancaster County, introduced legislation moving
the Pennsylvania primary
up to March 15. Imagine
that. Pennsylvania would
have been in the spotlight
this week right along with
Florida, Ohio, Illinois,
North Carolina and Missouri. Residents across the
commonwealth would have

had their voice heard loud
and clear no matter which
candidate they supported.
But Greiners bill ran into
opposition from leaders of
both the state Democratic
and Republican parties.
I have not been supportive of changing the
primary date because of the
way it affects so many other
people, said Rob Gleason,
chairman of the states
Republican Party. Youd
have to change the date for
petition circulation. Youd
be circulating petitions in
January and February. Ive
always kind of resisted that.
I see no reason right
now to change it, from the
Democratic side, said his
counterpart Jim Burn. It
throws everything out of
whack; people are going to
have to start a very complex
series of events during the
holidaysThe costs and the
complications far outweigh
any benefits.
Now all of that would
make sense if this were a
local election, involving
township supervisors,
mayors, borough councils,
school board members
and tax collectors. Then, a
change would affect thousands of people across the
state and wouldnt be worth
all the bother.
But this election involves
mainly races for the legislature, where 81 of the 185
incumbents running for the
state House of Representatives have no challengers
on either side. So, were

talking about an extremely
small group of people,
maybe a couple hundred
or so across the state. And
because of them, Pennsylvania residents are going to
be denied a meaningful role
in the nomination of presidential candidates.
Its simply absurd. Of
course, you cant just blame
the political leaders. The
legislators could have gone
around them and changed
the primary date on their
own. And its not like they
didnt know about Greiners
bill. There was a lot of talk
about it. But in the end the
legislators decided to stay
with the calendar theyre
familiar and comfortable
with over trying to do
something helpful for their
constituents.
Its just another example
of why Pennsylvania is so
backwards compared to
other states.
The next time you see
your local legislator be sure
to ask him or her why they
didnt vote for the Greiner
bill. Their answer should tell
you a lot about themselves
and what they think about
you.

Its hard to make a case for Trump

In his published letter to
the editor in response to my
column Making the case for
Trump, Ed Nicholson did
raise a valid point (among
many others with which I
heartily disagree).
I am not a supporter of
Trump, he writes. But I do
believe in basic fairness, and
hoped that Vozels commentary
would at least concede to a few
of the causes which have made
Trumps popularity possible.
Actually, I had intended to
write a true Case for Donald
Trump column, following
the same format I used to
write The Case for Bernie
Sanders and The Case for
Hillary Clinton.
I figured surely I could find
something to praise about
Trumps actual policy proposals. And truthfully, in my
research I did uncover Trump
policies that are quite clearheaded, and hint at why he
has been so successful in the
primaries.
For example, his positions on trade. I agree with
his trade stance more than I
agree with Hillary Clintons,
in fact. Where the conservative economic legacy (and
the neoliberal one) is trust
in free trade and the global
economy, Trump says its bad
business, and he promises to
penalize American companies
that build factories in foreign
countries.
Weve gotten a raw deal
from free trade with China,
and the global economy has
hurt the American middle
classno question. Trump
himself has outsourced work
Jessica Vozel
to foreign countries (i.e. his
Made in Mexico Trumpbranded dress shirts), but
nonetheless: he at least recognizes some aspects of trade and
global business as problematic.
He also wants his tax reform
plan to close certain loopholes
for the wealthiest Americans and limit the influence
of special interest groups.
Agreed!
Trump is not a social conservative, either. He doesnt run
on a platform of anti-abortion
or anti-gay marriage, and in
fact has supported both in the
not-so-distant past. Hes since
walked back on those stances,
unsurprisingly, but ultimately,
he is not taking up a cross for
them. He doesnt seem to have
the inclination to take away the
hard-won right for same-sex
couples to marry. Thats a good
thing.
So, there you have it: a few
reasons to support Trump. I
recognize that his populist
appeal comes from a place
of profound frustration with
American politics and the
new economy that is leaving
the middle class behind. Youd
have to be blind to not see it.
As it turns out, according

to CBS Local, Trump has won
over 46,000 blue-collar (presumably pro-union) Democrats in Pennsylvania this
election cycle, so his message is
reaching its intended audience.
All of that said, I cannot
write a column that makes a
serious case for Trump. He is a
man so dangerous, so divisive,
and, yes, racist (or at least
stoking the fires of Americas
racists), I cannot put my name
to a column making a true case
for his presidency.
While Nicholsons early
point about my bias was a
valid one, he then went on to
say, With all her indignation
toward white Americans for
their alleged latent bigotry,
one might infer that she ought
to be equally incensed by the
many occurrences of violence,
prejudice, and hatred toward
whites by people of color.
He then cited a recent incident in Washington, D.C., in
which a veteran named Chris
Marquez was assaulted and
robbed by a group of black
teenagers, who allegedly
asked, Do black lives matter?
and then commenced their assault when Marquez who
is Hispanic ignored the
question.
The leftist idealist that I
am, I do not want any human
to inflict violence on another human. At all. Period.
However, you cannot divorce
context from an incident like
this.
Lets talk stats. According
to the FBIs 2014 Hate Crime
Statistics (the newest data
available right now), there
were about 5,721 reported racially motivated hate crimes in

2014. Of those, 63.5 percent
were motivated by anti-black
or African-American bias
according to the FBI, where
22.8 percent stemmed from
anti-White bias.
The problem of racially motivated violence is worse for
black Americans than white
Americans. White violence
against blacks is systemic.
Remember those 46,000
voters switching parties from
Democrat to Republican in
Pennsylvania, and the search
for a new working-class figurehead? Theres another
reason why Trump has been
successful with this group. He
has both the populist policies
(which I occasionally agree
with) and, much worse than
that, he has the race-baiting
talking points. Both reach
disillusioned white Americans who feel theyve been
shortchanged.
Of course, not all blue-collar
Americans support Trump because of racism. It would be
dismissive and patronizing to
suggest that. However, Trump
has not exactly been distancing
himself with the faction of his
followers who are motivated
by racial bias. In fact, he encourages it.
And thats the real problem
with him.

Daylight savings time was hot issue years ago

Political issues come,
political issues go.
Whats controversial one
moment can, in a flash,
become the most banal
thing imaginable.
Take daylight savings
time. Yep, daylight
savings time!
Once upon a time DST
shared the political spotlight with world peace
debated, dissected,
and discussed in the
halls of Congress and by
local elected officials.
Uniontown City Council
was one of the venues
where the DST controversy swirled.
To explain:
The awful blood-letting
of World War I came to a
halt in November 1918.
While the war raged,
the federal government,
under the guidance of
Woodrow Wilson, imposed a series of measures to stretch out the
nations resources for the
fight against Germany.
One such measure was
daylight savings time, intended to reduce energy
consumption. DST literally saved millions of
Richard
Robbins
tons of coal. Instead of
coal to light homes and
retail businesses through
spring and summer
nights, more of the metal,
so abundant in western
Pennsylvania, was put
aside to power industry.
As the war ended, there
arose a demand that the
country return to pre-war
days. This meant, most
prominently, the return
of our boys from the battlefields of Europe and
the end of price-controls
and rationing, both for
food and fuel.
The silencing of the
guns also marked a
Words Web
pronounced uptick in political sniping: this was a

highly partisan period;
the fight over the Wilson
peace plan the League
of Nations was one of
the most searing debates
in all of American history.
So it probably wasnt
much of a surprise that
when the administration
expressed itself in favor
of continuing DST in the
balmy days of peace, adherents and opponents of
the idea should retreat
into partisan rabbit holes.
Thus, the local Republican congressman,
Samuel Kendall, voted
with his House GOP
colleagues to override
President Wilsons veto
of a bill containing a DST
provision.
Democrats cried foul.
The partys local organ,
the Uniontown Daily
News Standard, declared
that the real reason for
Kendalls vote was a
blind, insensate desire on
the part of Republicans
in Congress to (undo) all
the good things done by
the previous Democratic
Congress and President
from
the
A recent Gallup poll showed President

Obamas approval rating at 50 percent, the
highest its been in three years. His approval
rating is much higher than George Bushs
rating of 32 percent at the same point during
his presidency. It also equals Ronald
Reagans approval rating back in 1988. Are
you surprised by the high rating? Do you
think that overall Obamas doing a good
job? Do you think it will help the Democratic
presidential nominee in the fall?
I dont care what the numbers say. Its time for an immense change. The people are speaking! We are the
governments employer, not the other way around. People
better get used to it, especially the Democrats.
President Obama is doing a great job. I may not agree
with everything he does, but Im in agreement with him on
Wilson.
In an echo of today, the
paper said, It will ... be
a matter of lasting regret
that the nation has on its
hands in this critical hour
a Congress which absolutely refuses to function
with President Wilson.
This was in July 1919.
In the spring of 1922, the
issue surfaced again, this
time in Uniontown City
Council.
At this point, two additional factors came into
play.
The first of these
sounds truly bizarre:
the notion that communities might, on their
own initiative, set clocks
an hour behind/ahead
of clocks in neighboring
communities.
Second, the old divide
between urban and rural
America was still very
much alive. Farm and
city or town folks were divided on a host of issues.
By 1922, cities like New
York and Pittsburgh had
adopted DST. There was
a health factor: summer
sunshine, it was argued,
was the perfect antidote
to the many infectious

(and fatal) diseases of
the day.
In addition and we
can appreciate this
longer hours of daylight
afforded greater recreational opportunities;
more baseball and golf.
Farmers, on the other
hand, hated the prospect
of rising well before
the sun was up to begin
feeding and herding their
cows and other animals.
The question for city
council was: would it side
with Pittsburgh, with its
control of commerce and
train schedules, or with
the many farmers just
outside the city limits?
The five-member all
Republican Uniontown
City Council voted 3-2 to
request city residents
adopt DST hours.
Council erupted in a
riot of argument over the
matter. Mayor William
Smart, a DST opponent,
said he would refuse to
issue a proclamation in
support of the council
resolution.
Councilman Frank
Hess said city merchants
most things. At least hes trying to do something. Hes not

like the Republicans who are just saying no to everything.
Thats not governing.
This should anger the straight out of the Fayette County

crowd.
This is crazy. No one asked me for my opinion. I think
Obama has been a terrible president. How anyone can
think otherwise is beyond me.
Racism has grown leaps and bounds since Obama took
office. The illegal alien population has grown by leaps and
bounds, crime is running rampant, drugs are more prevalent than ever and more people than ever dont respect
the flag or our country. How the can anyone say hes been
good for this country?
My motivation for my
congressional candidacy
is a desire to help restore accountability and
ethics in government. I
never expected, however,
that I would face a significant test of my ability
to practice what I preach,
just weeks before election
day. Thats exactly what
happened recently when
I learned that a member
of my staff was alleged
to have forged 40 to 50
voters signatures on my
petitions to get on the
ballot.
Forgery is a very serious matter, and unethical actions must bear
the appropriate consequences. Therefore, I
investigated the charges
and immediately fired
the individual involved.
Zero tolerance for insubordination and unethical
behavior means exactly
that: zero tolerance. The
essence of accountability
is openness to criticism,
honest evaluation and decisive corrective action.
Wrongdoing cannot be
ignored, excused or
justified, even if it is
expedient.
That understanding of
accountability, which I
learned in the military, is
sorely missing in Washington today.
I have been repeatedly
asked if I think the forgeries were discovered
and leaked to the media
by Bill Shusters campaign. My answer is that
Art Halvorson.
Halvorson reminds
me of Jefferson Smith,
the fictional hero immortalized by Indiana
County native son,
Jimmy Stewart in the
movie Mr. Smith Goes to
Washington. Shuster, on
the other hand, reminds
me of the movies villain,
Senator Paine.
Shuster like Paine is
obedient to powerbrokers
that reward him handsomely with millions of
dollars in campaign contributions. This is plainly
obvious from Shusters
inexplicable votes for
the dreaded Wall Street
bailout, raising the national debt five times,
and even Obamas
bloated bill that funded
both Planned Parenthood
and executive amnesty.
When Smith attempted
to expose Paines corruption, Paine orchestrated a campaign to
smear Smith. Threatened
by Halvorsons popularity, Shuster claimed
that Halvorson was
the recipient of federal
ethanol subsidies. Shusters smear on Halvorson
was rebuked by FactRace compared to Check.org.
The choice for me is
famous movie
easy: its Art Halvorson!

The people of this

Even if Mr. Shuster did
orchestrate the leak,
Im grateful that it was
discovered. Whoever revealed the issue gave me
the opportunity to uproot
it from my campaign.
My opponent has
sought to embarrass me
and capitalize on this
unfortunate incident
and I anticipate that he
will continue to do so.
However, I believe that I
have responded to this incident appropriately and
I hope that it leads to a
broader debate about the
importance of ethics in
politics and government.
Throughout this campaign, I have asked the
voters of the district to
consider ethics when
casting their vote. I still
encourage them to do so
today. When they vote, I
hope they will evaluate
their choices based on
both word and deed,
promise and action. If
they do, they will have
a representative that
takes responsibility and
responds appropriately
to ethical challenges.

disgraceful. Commissioner Vince Vicites has

teamed up with Angela
Zimmerlink to present a
budget that is nothing but
smoke and mirrors to use
as an excuse for political
retribution.
Vicites and Zimmerlink are the two
highest taxing commissioners in the history of
Fayette County. He keeps
blaming the current
commissioner budget on
former county commissioners Al Ambrosini
and Vince Zapotosky, but
yet this former commissioners balanced budget
was passed with a million
dollar surplus prior to
Vicites taking office.
The budget which the
current commissioners
just passed was only
around $100,000 less in
expenditures than the
one passed at the end
of 2015. Yet Vicites and
Zimmerlink say they
need over $4 million
more each year from you,
the taxpayers.

dont add up. And did I
mention yet, that a tax
increase was not in the

and after their time in
service.
Theyve taken the
journey with you, he
said.
He said those family
and friends should be
on the lookout for any
personality changes,
such as losing interest
in things they enjoyed
before, distancing
themselves, changes
in employment, a difference in attitude or
the way they interact.
Veterans who want to
go back to school sometimes have difficulties
fitting into campus life,
largely because they
are much older than
the average student, he
said. If a veteran decides to take a semester
off, he said it is likely
he or she wont return.
Everyone has different ways to reintegrate, he said. Some
want to stay to themselves. Some want to be
very involved.
He said after a
veteran finds a place to
thrive, they are strong
leaders.
Generally speaking,
military veterans theyre not quiet. They
take charge. They lead
from the front, he said.
He said difficulties
reintegrating back into
society can combine
with some other factor,
like relationship difficulties or financial
burdens, to lead a
veteran to suicide.
Prah said if a person
starts giving their
things away, that is a
red flag.
If someone is showing
signs they may be suicidal, he said to simply
and clearly ask if they
are planning to kill
themselves.
Suicide can be very
difficult to think, let
alone ask, he said. I
think that being able to
ask that question, and
being able to put it out
on the table, can be a
relief for both parties.
If the person says yes,
he said the next step
is to ask if they know
how they would do it.
If the person answers
with something specific,
determine if there is an
immediate threat. For
example, if the person
says they would use a
gun, determine if they
have immediate access
to one.
He said people are
often concerned that
they will do or say the
wrong thing. In his
classes, he said he will
often compare the situation of a suicidal friend
or family member to
passing a stranger
standing on the edge
of a bridge. He said if
you say something, the
stranger might jump
anyway. But people
want to help and should
step in without fear of
being wrong.
Obviously the goal is
to keep the person safe,
for now, until they can
get some professional
help, he said.

him a good Marine.
In boot camp, he received a meritorious
promotion. He later
became squad leader.
They saw something
in him from the very
beginning, his mother
Loretta said. They
couldnt break him.
His parents were
hesitant when Dan said
he wanted to join the
Marine Corps in 2007
when he was only 17.
We, frankly, tried
to talk him out of it,
Ron said. He said his
son convinced them to
allow him to join after
expressing values of
fairness they imparted
to him as a child.
Dan was bound
by confidentiality to
talk about his time
overseas. Although
his parents know little
about his posts, they
know that as a guard,
he protected Joe Biden,
Hillary Clinton and
Jessica Alba. He was
honorably discharged
in 2012 with the rank of
corporal.
Dans first post was
in Egypt in 2010. He
went to China in 2011,
and Macedonia in 2012.
His life was very
secret in there, Loretta said.
In 2010, Egypt was
falling into turmoil.
The country held parliamentary elections
that were quickly
called fraudulent.
Uprisings began that
would lead to a revolution Jan. 25, 2011.
In 2011, pro-democracy protests began
in China.
In 2012, Macedonia
was in headlines because of a clash between Macedonian and
Albanian youths. A
group of Islamists was
arrested, and the countrys main opposition
party orchestrated a
boycott against parliamentary sessions.
Although Ron, a
child counselor, does
not know what his son
experienced, he said
it is likely his son was
suffering from posttraumatic stress. He
said Dan could only
sleep for about one
hour at a time, and he

its rubbed off on others.
His game has turned into a 10,
too.
Graham matched a careerhigh with 27 points Saturday
night, Wayne Selden Jr. added
21, and the top-ranked Jayhawks
overcame a remarkable performance by West Virginias Devin
Williams for an 81-71 victory
over the No. 9 Mountaineers
in the Big 12 Tournament title
game.
Perry Ellis added 17 points
for the Jayhawks (30-4), who
almost certainly locked up

the No. 1 overall seed for the
NCAA Tournament by winning
their 10th Big 12 Tournament
championship.
I felt like we played well,
said Graham, the game net
hanging around his neck. We
just have to keep playing the way
weve been playing. Play better.
Keep the confidence we have.
Keep this momentum going.
Kansas trailed the Mountaineers (26-8) at the break
before seizing control, and it
was Graham who made the difference. He hit five 3-pointers,
was 10 of 10 from the foul line
and had a four steals while
helping his teammates through
the Mountaineers trademark
pressure.
I cant put it into words,
Graham said. Its a good
feeling.
California (Pa.) Universitys

womens basketball season
came to an end Saturday, as
West Liberty beat the Vulcans,
68-62, in the second round of
the NCAA Division II womens
basketball tournament.
The No. 3-seeded Hilltoppers
rode a 21-13 third-quarter
scoring edge to turn a 33-31
halftime lead into a 54-44 lead

heading into the fourth quarter.
No. 2-seeded Cal fought back
with an 18-14 scoring edge in
the final 10 minutes, but it
wasnt enough, as the Hilltoppers moved to a Monday
night meeting against the
winner of Saturdays Virginia
Union-Wheeling Jesuit.
Virginia Union is top seeded
and hosting the Atlantic
Region of the NCAA Division

II Tournament in Richmond,
Va. Wheeling Jesuit is seeded
fourth.
Cals loss marked the end of
the Vulcans attempted repeat
as NCAA champions. The
Vulcans captured the NCAA
Division II championship last
season.
West Liberty (30-4) got 22
points from Kierra Simpson, 18
The status of one of the

single-most talented wide
receivers on a Pittsburgh
Steelers franchise thats
hosted two Hall of Famers
and possibly two others is
up in the air after Martavis
Bryant was hit with a yearlong suspension for violating
the NFLs substance abuse
policy, according to DKPittsburghSports.com.
A player who at times
looks like Randy Moss on the
WVU, Page B3 field, Bryant is appealing the
suspension, as confirmed to
the Post-Gazette by Bryants

from Liz Flowers and 15 from

Kailee Howe.
Miki Glenn and Precious
Martin scored 18 each to lead
California (25-5) and Shatara
Parsons added 16.
Cal reached the second round
with an 80-70 win Friday night
over Chowan, behind 18 points
from Parsons, 16 from Seairra
Barrett, 14 from Glenn and 11
from Morgan Jennings.

Seton Hall wins Big East tourney, 69-67 over Villanova

NEW YORK (AP) Isaiah Whitehead
scored 26 points, including the deciding
three-point play with 18 seconds left, and
Seton Hall won the Big East Tournament for
the first time in 23 years by defeating No. 3
Villanova 69-67 on Saturday night at Madison
Square Garden.
Whitehead drove hard on the right side,
flipped the ball in softly off the glass and
was fouled. His free throw gave the Pirates a
68-67 lead. Villanova had two more chances
sandwiched around a free throw by Angel
Delgado, but the Pirates held on to beat the
defending champions in front of a sellout
crowd of 19,812.
It was Seton Halls third Big East Tournament title, the others coming in 1991 and
1993. The third-seeded Pirates (25-8) earned
the leagues automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, their first berth in 10 years.
Awesome. Its absolutely awesome. Its
beyond words, Pirates coach Kevin Willard.
Im so happy for these kids. ... They worked
so hard, Im just so happy for them.

Seton Hall led for almost the entire game,
going ahead by 14 points in the first half
and 11 at halftime. The top-seeded Wildcats
(29-5) finally started hitting from 3-point
range in the second half. They tied it four
times before finally taking their first lead
since 3 minutes into the game when Kris
Jenkins 3-pointer gave them a 67-64 lead
with 50 seconds to play.
A free throw by Whitehead 8 seconds later
made it a two-point game but Villanova didnt
score again, turning the ball over once and
missing three shots, including one that fell
short at the buzzer from Ryan Arcidiacono.
Whitehead, who had eight of the Pirates
13 turnovers, was selected the tournament
MVP.
We wanted Villanova, we got em and
we beat em, Whitehead said and then he
was asked about the Pirates being back in
the NCAA Tournament. Everybody better
watch out.
Desi Rodriguez added 12 points for the

Pirates and Derrick Gordon had 10.
Jenkins led the Wildcats with 23 points,
and Josh Hart had 17. Arcidiacono scored
five points and was 2 for 10 from the field,
including 1 of 6 from 3-point range.
Great college basketball game. Just
awesome to be a part of it. The Garden was
rocking, Villanova coach Jay Wright said.
We just got beat by a team that played better
than us tonight. They played a great first
half. We played a great second half, and then
down the stretch, they made the plays, and
we didnt. Some of the reasons we didnt is
because they made some great defensive
plays.
Seton Hall built its 40-29 halftime lead by
taking advantage of eight Villanova turnovers, three off the teams average for a
game. The Pirates shot 56.7 percent in the
half (17 for 30) while the Wildcats shot 44.4
percent (12 for 27), including 2 of 9 from
3-point range.

buzzer sounded
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)

No. 9 West Virginia escaped with a 69-67 victory
over sixth-ranked Oklahoma
when Buddy Hields halfcourt shot was ruled a fraction
of a second late in the Big
12 Tournament semifinals
Friday night.
Jevon Carter scored 26
points to lead the Mountaineers (26-7), but it was
Jaysean Paige whose pullup
jumper over Isaiah Cousins
gave them the lead back with

11.1 seconds left.
Christian James missed
a potential go-ahead layup
at the other end and the
Sooners (25-7) fouled with 1.8
seconds left. They got another
chance when West Virginias
Jonathan Holton could only
make the second of two free
throws, and they quickly got
the ball in the hands of the Big
12 player of the year.
Hield took a couple of
dribbles before letting loose
his shot, and it banked in as
the Sooners poured off the
bench and into the crowd to
celebrate. Meanwhile, the
game officials huddled at the
video monitors and reviewed
the shot, ultimately determining that it came off Hields
hand a moment too late.

Spieths numbers are

rising, skys not falling
The sky is falling. The
sky is falling.
Or at least thats how it
would seem on the PGA
Tour. Jordan Spieth,
a five-time winner
last year, has not won
through the second week
in March and worse yet,
hes not making birdies
nearly fast enough for
the pundits.
It is true, hes not
been nearly as prolific
or as consistent as he
was last year. But lets
inject a bit of reality into
the whispers and raised
eyebrows.
Going into this weeks
Valspar Championship,
the kid had played 22
rounds and posted rounds
in the 60s 14 times. Over
the time, Spieth is 68
under par. As far as the
birdies are concerned,
he leads the PGA Tour
in birdie average at 4.94
per round.
Yes, the Masters looms
large on the radar, but
theres still time. Spieth
has set the bar so high
that hes expected to
dominate every time he
tees it up. Thats not the
way it works, even when
the best in the game are
the ones playing.
I wouldnt be surprised at all if Spieth
is working through a
process, getting himself
ready to defend his title
at Augusta National in
early April. He seems to
leave nothing to chance,
which would explain the
success hes had thus far
in his career.
Chill out, folks. The
sky is not falling.

Dont expect to see

Word from Orlando
is that the King, whos
been battling health
issues for a while, wont
be doing his customary
appearance in the tower
at 18 on Saturday and
Sunday. Part of that is
his health, part of it is
the fact that hes 86 and
part is the big climb required to get to the tower

Very little information
has accompanied the announcement this week
Mike
Dudurich
that the PGA and LPGA
Tours have created a
strategic alliance.
Its an interesting partnership, sparking many
questions, like: Whats
in this for the PGA Tour?
The obvious answer is
being connected with
the ladies could mean
millions and millions of
dollars with the LPGAs
international reach.
But then when youre
talking dollars, and many
dollars to be exact, there
really doesnt need to be
any other answers, right?
I still dont get it.
There is talk about the
creation of at least one
mixed team event, most
likely to be played in the
Far East, which would
be huge in terms of attendance and advertising
and sponsorship revenue.
How would that play
in the United States? Im
thinking not very well.
Huge crowds are not the
norm when talking about
LPGA events here. When
you throw in the roster
of lesser lights from the
PGA Tour who will play
in what will be an October or November event
and it doesnt sound like
must-see viewing.
As it is in all facets
of business these days,
cooperation and sharing
resources is the name of
the game. If this alliance
somehow helps both organizations, thats great.
It will just be very interesting seeing how it
all develops.

Westminster College teammates Cassidy Shepherd (left) and Marissa Kalsey are all smiles Friday after earning AllAmerica status in the pole vault at the NCAA Division III Indoor Track & Field Championships at Grinnell, Iowa. Kalsey
finished third with a vault of 3.90 meters (12-9) for her fourth All-America honor. Shepherd, a Greensburg Salem
graduate, finished seventh for her second All-America honor.
Kalsey finishes 3rd at indoor nationals

Earns fourth
indoor AllAmerica honor
By Jim Downey
jdowney@heraldstandard.com
Marissa Kalsey was

hoping to reach the top
step of the podium at the
NCAA Division III Indoor
Track & Field after successive second-place finishes, but it wasnt to be.
The Westminster
College senior cleared
3.90 meters (12-9)
Friday afternoon to
finish third for her fourth
indoor All-America honor
and seventh overall.
Kalsey is only one of
four Division III female
vaulters to be AllAmerica all four years
after a fifth-place finish
as a freshman and backto-back second-place
finishes.
The meet started on
the right foot for the
Waynesburg Central
graduate as she needed
only one vault to clear
her opening height of 3.80
meters (12-5). With only
seven vaulters remaining,
Kalsey was assured of
her fourth All-America
honor.
It was a pretty easy
jump. I did everything
pretty well on that jump,
explained Kalsey. I
wanted to get that first,
first. The first thing we
go for is All-America. I
was excited to get over

that bar.
Kalsey passed at 3.85
meters (12-7), saying, I
knew if I could get 12-7,
I could get 12-9. I knew
I wanted it to be a good
day, so I wanted to save
some jumps.
Things werent quite
as smooth at 3.90 meters
(12-9) with two opening
misses.
I came up short. I
didnt press out as well,
Kalsey said of the reason
she didnt clear the bar.
I was trying to jump
bar in her three attempts.

I missed the same way
each time. I tried to rush
through it again, said
Kalsey. Im over and hit
it on the way down. I hit
them pretty hard on the
way down.
Virdi set the facility
record with her winning
vault of 4.13 meters (136). She passed at 4.15
meters before going out
at 4.22 meters.
Pitman went out at 4.0
meters for second place.
Kalsey was still wondering what mightve
I know I have the potential,

but its frustrating. I think I
need to take a little break.
Marissa Kalsey
for the height. I tried to
relax, take deep breaths.
Kalsey cleared the bar
on her third attempt to
guarantee a top-three
finish.
(The final vault at
12-9) was more like
the first one, explained
Kalsey.
The next height for
MITs Cimran Virdi,
Ithaca sophomore Katherine Pitman and Kalsey
was 3.95 meters (12-11).
Virdi needed just one
attempt to clear on her
way to successfully defending her two-time national title. Pitman needed
two vaults to clear.
Unfortunately, Kalsey
was unable to get over the
and couldve been at

her final indoor national
meet.
I know I have the potential, but its frustrating.
Im frustrated right now.
I think I need to take a
little break, said Kalsey.
We have a meet next Saturday at Juniata. I think
I might take the weekend
off. Not from working out,
just take the weekend off
from vaulting to regroup.
Psychologically, I
need to take a break.
Once the break is over,
Kalsey has her sights
set high for the outdoor
season.
Outdoors is a lot different. I helps to take
a break, said Kalsey.
Outdoors does seem

like another season. It
takes awhile to get used
to outdoors.
Theres the weather
and the wind. Obviously,
a tailwind is nice. Your
eyes perceive things
differently.
It feels like Im
starting over. It takes
awhile to get it there.
When she gets it there,
Kalsey knows where she
wants to be.
Im looking to get a national title. The cherry on
top is getting the national
record.
Cassidy Shepherd
also earned a spot on
the podium, finishing
seventh with a top vault
of 12-5. Kalsey was very
happy for her teammates
accomplishment.
She did great. That
was awesome. Im so excited for her. She works so
hard and deserved that,
praised Kalsey. Its nice
to have someone there to
help me out. She knows
me so well.
Kalsey also had kind
words for her vault coach,
fellow Waynesburg grad
Bradi Rhoades. Rhoades
was honored this past
week as the 2016 NCAA
Division III Indoor Track
& Field Mideast Womens
Assistant Coach of the
Year by the U.S. Track &
Field and Cross Country
Coaches Association.
Im super excited for
him. He deserves that
honor, said Kalsey.

is the most points ever scored in

the state tournament.
And those allowed? All came
about when Teasdale chose to let
his opponent up so he could take
them down again.
He registered 14 takedowns in
his semifinal match and 10 in his
final match Saturday.
My plan was to come up here
and score as many points as I
could, he said. I accomplished
that. I think I really turned it up
the last few weeks, didnt overlook
anybody and think I came here
ready.
He was more than ready. He
threw a variety of takedown shots
at freshman Cole Wetzel of Boiling
Springs and the youngster had no
idea what hit him.
When you watch something like
that, you realize just how special
that kid is, J-M coach Mike Lesko
said. Yes, he came with the idea
of getting tech falls all the way
through. He wasnt being selfish.
Its a matter of him being at such
an elite level, he needed to set a
goal for himself. And he got it.
Teasdale alluded to his elitelevel aspirations when he talked
about what having two titles
meant.
I want to be a world champion,
he said. And the only way you
can do that is if you win your state
title. So Im halfway to my goal.
The Rockets came within 20
seconds of having two state
champions. Bill Bowlen, a senior

182-pounder, was locked in a tight,

tense battle with Montoursville
sophomore Gavin Hoffman and got
to the final 20 seconds leading 3-1.
The two got into a scramble situation, rolling through it twice. The
first time through, Bowlen couldnt
get control. The second time,
Hoffman did to tie the match. And
as he tried to escape, he got caught
in one of Hoffmans favorite tilts
and gave up three near-fall points
and the match, 6-3.
I went from a great high to be
heartsick, all in just 20 seconds,
Lesko said. He gave every effort
to win that state title, but this one
will sting, no doubt about it.
Beth-Centers Anthony Welsh
battled back through the consolations to finish third, defeating

Dayton Wickwire, 4-1.
It was an historic day for Southmoreland wrestling. The Scotties
had not won a PIAA title in school
history until 285-pounder Jake
Beistel knocked off Zach Stafford
of Cambridge Springs, 3-2.
Ive been in the sport so long
that getting a state title is not
something I had to have, Im more
proud of the character of the kids,
but damn this feels good, said
Southmoreland coach Ryan Shaw,
whose last time sitting in the
corner consisted of winning a title.
Shaw is leaving coaching to pursue
other opportunities.
The win was the 150th in Beistels career, a school record. He

became the seventh WPIAL Class
AA wrestler to win a title Saturday.
It feels pretty good, Beistel
said with a big smile. Its like a
weight off my shoulders. Ive had
a lot of support from the school
and the community and its great
to pull it off. Obviously its a great
feeling to go out on top.
The win ended Beistels wrestling career as he wont wrestle
when he attends St. Francis University this fall. Hell play football
instead.

Where is all the Martinez homers, Tigers beat Pirates, 3-0

money going?
Three thoughts on the
Pirates:
1. Wondering about
the money
A former Pirates player
who shall remain
nameless to protect the
innocent saw a familiar face one Arizona
spring training morning
this past week and immediately had a question.
Why arent they trying
to win? the player said,
referring to the Pirates.
The player expressed
surprise that the Pirates
opening day payroll wont
exceed $100 million even
though the franchise has
made three straight postseason appearances and
keeps setting attendance
records.
I dont understand it,
the player said. You add
one more good arm and
one more solid bat and
they are right there with
the Cubs and Cardinals
and can win the division.
Im not talking
$200-million guys, just
good solid big-league
players. I cant believe
they dont have the
money to at least do that.
They draw well. They get
revenue-sharing money.
Theyve built so much
momentum there.
Where is all the money
going?
Thats a great mystery
and the Pirates, as a
privately run company,
have no obligation to
open their books, and
certainly no reason. The
one thing that is known,
thanks to major league
sources with access to
such information, is that
the Pirates are one of the
more profitable teams in
the game.
I feel sorry for the
fans, the player said.
Those fans in Pittsburgh
are tremendous and they
deserve better than what
theyre getting.
Indeed, they do.
2. Upbeat Beasley
Former Pirates major
league coach and minor
league manager Tony
Beasley is his usual
upbeat self despite
currently undergoing
treatment for rectal
cancer.
John Perrotto
Im doing well and Im

going to beat this thing,
said Beasley, who is in
his second season as the
Texas Rangers third
base coach.
Beasley was diagnosed
at the beginning of the
spring training. While
the initial news was a
shock, he has been able
to go about his normal
coaching duties for the
most part.
Baseball is the best
therapy there is, he said.
Its what I love to do and
when youre on the field
and in the clubhouse the
last thing on your mind is
cancer.

his trademark smile has
been the highlight of By John Perrotto

3. Red-hot Ramirez
Few players in the
organization have improved their stock more
over the last year than
Harold Ramirez.
The 21-year-old outfielder has been a phenom
in his first major league
spring training, showing
off his line-drive stroke
in Grapefruit League
play. A year ago, he reported to minor league
camp so far out of shape
that he was held back at
extended spring training
for nearly two months
before making his season
debut May 26 with high
Class A Bradenton.
Ramirez hasnt gotten
much hype from the
prospect mavens the
exception being ESPNs
Keith Law but Baseball
America ranks him fifth
in the Pirates deep farm
system and scouts believe he has a chance
to one day contend for
batting titles in the major
leagues.

LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) Francisco Rodriguez made his spring

debut for Detroit and pitched an
inning in relief of Mike Pelfrey,
helping the Tigers to a 3-0 victory

Rodriguez was acquired in a trade
with Milwaukee in November and
is expected to serve as Detroits
closer. Rodriguez, who turned 34 in
January, had 38 saves in 40 chances
with the Brewers last year.
Rodriguezs arrival at spring
training was delayed by visa issues.
But the right-hander struck out three
in his one inning against the Pirates.
He also walked a batter and allowed
a single.
I felt fine, Rodriguez said. My
location wasnt as good as I wanted
but I got to work on things. I never
want to throw the same pitch to the
same batter so getting command is
what I need to do.
Rodriguez said he plans on at least
seven more spring outings, all one
inning. He said he counts on pitching
every other day until the last week
of spring training and then several
consecutive outings leading up to the
season opener.
Ill be ready, Rodriguez said.
My work ethic has always worked
for me. I dont really look at my
numbers in the spring, I just want to
get my work in.

BRADENTON, Fla.
Ryan Vogelsong had just
finished working out one
day in December when
his cell phone rang.
The veteran righthander pitchers agent
was calling to say the
Pittsburgh Pirates were
interested in signing him
as a free agent. Vogelsong
could barely contain a
smile when he walked
through the door of his
home in Suwanee, Ga.,
and saw his wife Nicole.
I told her that a team
had called that was interested in signing me and
she knew immediately
from the look on my face
who that team was, Vogelsong recalled recently
at the Pirates spring
training camp. I think
we both knew it just felt
right.
Vogelsong signed a
one-year, $2-million contract with the opportunity
to earn up to $3 million
more in performance
bonuses to return to
the Pirates, the team he
pitched for from 2001-06
with mostly frustrating
results.
In that five-year span
he missed 2002 while
recovering from Tommy
John reconstructive
elbow surgery he went
10-19 with 6.00 ERA in
103 games, including 33
starts.
Ten years later, he is
38 and comes back older
and wiser to an organization that has changed
dramatically.
Vogelsong was acquired in a July, 2001
trade as part of what
seemed like a perpetual
rebuilding process by
the Pirates. He pitched
during a string of 20 consecutive losing seasons
by the franchise from
1993-2012 that set the
Im a totally different pitcher now. Ive been

through a lot in my career...I think it is kind of
cool to get a second chance, though.
Ryan Vogelsong
major North American
professional team sports
record for futility.
Now the Pirates are
coming off three straight
postseason appearances and are no longer
an afterthought on the
Pittsburgh sports scene
after the Steelers and
Penguins.
Its been fun to come
back to Pittsburgh the last
few years and see all the
excitement surrounding
the Pirates, Vogelsong
said. Its a great place
to play now. PNC Park is
a great facility and gets
really loud there because
the fans are really into it.
Its going to be fun to be
a part of that.
Part of the allure
to playing for the Pirates again is also because Nicole Vogelsong
is a native of the area,
having grown up in
Hampton Township. And,
a small part of Vogelsong
wanting to come back is
to wanting to atone for
how poorly he performed
in his first stint with the
Pirates.
Vogelsong had just
turned 24 when the Pirates acquired him and
outfielder Armando Rios
from the San Francisco
Giants for right-hander
Jason Schmidt and outfielder John Vander Wal.
Vogelsong tore an elbow
ligament in his second
start with the Pirates
and things never got any
better.
It was a frustrating
time, Vogelsong said.
I wouldnt say that
wanting to make up for
what happened was the
overriding reason why I
signed with the Pirates,

but Im a totally different pitcher now. Ive
been through a lot in my
career. Ive experienced
my share of failure and
Ive experience my share
of success. I think it is
kind cool to get a second
chance, though.
Vogelsong did not pitch
in the major leagues for
a four-year period from
2007-10, hitting bottom
when he was sent to the
minor leagues while
playing in Nippon Professional Baseball in Japan.
However, he turned his
career around and spent
the past five seasons
back in the major leagues
with the Giants, being
selected to the 2011 AllStar Game and being part
of World Series winners
in 2012 and 2014.
Youre always
learning in this game and,
in some ways, I guess it
took me longer to learn
than some others, Vogelsong said. You reach
the point where you get
tired of losing and I came
to the realization that my
stuff was good enough to
get major league hitters
out. I just needed to believe in myself.
Vogelsong, though,
slipped to a 9-11 with
a 4.67 ERA last season
and lost his spot in the
Giants rotation as he
made 22 starts and 11
relief appearances.
The Pirates have
become an organization
noted for fixing pitchers
and Vogelsong is one
of their latest projects.
Pitching coach Ray
Searage believes Vogelsong can benefit from
throwing more inside

pitches.
Vogelsong is still in
outstanding shape. Other
than some flecks of gray
in his hair and beard, he
looks much the same as
he did when he was a
youngster in his first stint
with the Pirates.
We believe hes still
got the skills to perform
at a very functional
level, manager Clint
Hurdle said. Hes got an
edge and a hunger to his
game thats real. Thats
something we like to use
for his good and for the
collective good of the
club.
The Pirates are looking
to slot Vogelsong in
as their fourth starter
behind Gerrit Cole and
left-handers Francisco
Liriano and Jon Niese
and in front of lefty Jeff
Locke. While the expectations may not be great,
Vogelsong fully expects
to have a good season.
Im not coming back
here just to ride out my
career and say goodbye,
he said. I still plan on
pitching a lot longer.
This isnt some kind of
farewell thing.
Theyve turned this
organization around.
The attitude here is unbelievable. These guys
care about each other
and want to win for each
other. I could feel it the
last few years when I
played against them and
even just watching their
games on TV.
Vogelsong then paused.
I was part of a lot of

Leopards advance three to PIAA semifinals

By Mike Dudurich
Bill Hughes
Mania over
WrestleMania
card building
Has Mania already set a record?
Thanks to injuries, the WrestleMania card will be a shell of its original
self, but that hasnt stopped fans from
making a late push for tickets.
Thursday morning, it was reported
that the company has sold over 84,000
tickets with three weeks to go.
According to noted wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer, the WWE has
already set a record for tickets sold.
In the most recent issue of Meltzers well-known The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, he said the actual
record holder for most tickets sold for
an event was 79,127 at SummerSlam
1992 at Wembley Stadium in London.
The Newsletter also stated that
the U. S. record is 78,000 tickets for
WrestleMania III.
But wait, the WWE has always
stated that Mania III had 93,173 fans.
So which number is right?
Officially, the WWEs stated
number cannot be challenged so it has
to be given the benefit of the doubt.
But the WWE has been known to
embellish ticket numbers by as many
as 10,000-13,000, so who really knows?
I was informed by one of my
sources that the WWE is scaling
down AT&T Stadium to make it look
more full, but dont be surprised if the
company announces the attendance at
over 100,000.
The 2010 NBA All-Star game set
the AT&T Stadium attendance record
with 108,713 fans.
Raw in Pittsburgh Monday night
The WWE returns to Pittsburgh
Monday night for Raw.
I will be backstage and will have my
eyes and ears open.
And, to answer a question that I
get a lot when I head backstage, I will
not be taking any pictures before the
show.
There is a professional courtesy
that must be upheld at shows, sporting
events, and on movie sets, and taking
pictures is a no-no until after the event
starts.
Anyone disrespectful enough to
take pictures or bother the performers
before the event has no right to be
backstage.
I expect something big to have
happened last night at Roadblock to
change the Mania card, so look for
follow-up tomorrow night on Raw.
Mania 33 in Orlando
As reported last week in this
column, WrestleMania 33 will take
place at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando.
A major reason the WWE chose the
Citrus Bowl is the renovations that it
went under.
I was at the Citrus Bowl pre-renovations and was there for the Citrus
Bowl game on New Years Day between Michigan and Florida, and the
stadium looks completely different
than it did for Mania 24 in 2008.
While Orlando won the bid to host
Mania next year, it also bid to host it
in 2018, as well.
WWE looking at brick and mortar
Hall?
While on the topic of Orlando, there
is word that the WWE may be looking
to open a physical Hall of Fame in
Orlando.
If the WWE really does open a
brick-and-mortar Hall, it will be a nice
novelty act, but I dont see it being a
long-term draw.
There just isnt enough interest in
the WWE to sustain success.
Much like the restaurant the WWE
opened in Times Square a while back,
the novelty could wear off.
This weeks question
When will Christian make it to
the WWE Hall of Fame? Shelly,
Perryopolis.
The easy answer is that Christian
will make the Hall when Vince McMahon decides that he makes it.
Christians in-ring days are over,
but his new show on the WWE
Network with his legit best friend,
Edge, is hilarious.
As Shawn from Millsboro said in an
email, it is a great show that brings
many laughs.
However, I sense that Christian
is in the shadow of Edge during their
bits.
That would be no different than
how it was during their respective careers as Edge always overshadowed
Christian.

HERSHEY Belle Vernon High School

wrestling coach Mike Doppelheuer and
his wrestling team had a good day Friday
in Hershey at the PIAA Class AAA Individual Wrestling Championships.
This was the kind of day that makes
me excited for Belle Vernon wrestling,
Doppelheuer said after three of his wrestlers secured spots in Saturday mornings
semifinals. Were guaranteed four placewinners and I am very happy for those
guys.
Zach Hartman, the Leopards
132-pounder, advanced with a 5-1 win
over Andrew Wert, of Central Dauphin,
Austin Bell had a tough match, hanging
on for a 3-2 victory over Noah Stewart,
of Mifflin County, at 170 pounds and
182-pounder Milton Kobaly pounded
Quakertowns Evan Morill, 13-4.
Derek Verkleeren, who Doppelheuer
described as wrestling as good as hes
ever seen him, had the unfortunate luck
to run up against one of the hottest wrestlers in the tournament. Mifflin Countys
Hayden Hidlay pinned Verkleeren in
5:03.
He responded with a big victory in his
first consolation match and is guaranteed
to join his trio of teammates on the stand.
Our big thing now is to get these guys
a good nights rest and get them mentally prepared for the semifinals, Doppleheuer said. Im still going with the
thought that were going to get a couple
gold medals. I know the quality of opponent these guys will face, but I also
know the quality of wrestlers my guys are.
BVAs junior 106-pounder Jacob Dunlops consolation round run came to an
end in the second round when he gave
up a takedown late and lost, 3-1, to Matt
Wilde, of Boyertown.
Mitch Hartman came back from his
first-round defeat with a 4-2 win over
Cade Moisey to advance at 160, but then
fell in his next bout and was eliminated.

and Colin McCracken won by pin in his

Morris was eliminated via technical fall

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) The
Pittsburgh Penguins absorbed one
heavy check after another to help pave
the way for Marc-Andre Fleury to join
a select group of NHL netminders.
Fleury became the 20th goalie with
350 NHL victories and the Penguins
beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-2
Friday night.
We just stayed with it, said
captain Sidney Crosby, who extended
his point streak to seven games with
an assist. They forecheck hard. They
forced us a lot. I thought Flower made
big saves, too, when we needed it.
Fleury made 11 of his 25 saves in
the third period.
Its pretty cool, said Fleury, selected first overall in the 2003 draft.
I didnt know before the game that
is was coming up. Im just happy that
we won tonight and got those two
(points), but its a little more special.

Kris Letang and Chris Kunitz

Phil Kessel each had two assists.
Penguins coach Mike Sullivan liked
how his players didnt stray from the
plan of playing level headed. The
focus was discipline and moving the
puck with pace.
You just dont get involved, he
said. Its as simple as that. What
we talked about is playing to our
strengths and making sure that we
played the game we wanted to play.

Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury and teammate Ian Cole work to stop a shot
by Columbus Blue Jackets Matt Calvert during the third period in Columbus, Ohio, Friday.
Pittsburgh won, 3-2.
I thought we did.
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.
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.
I felt good, Bobrovsky said. I felt
better as the game went one.
Sidney Crosby and Brandon Dubinsky were pitted against each other
for the first time since Dubinsky
crosschecked the superstar in the

neck on Nov. 27, but they didnt lock
horns. Dubinsky was suspended one
game by the NHL.
We played between the whistles,
Sullivan said.
Bobrovksy tested his groin early.
He 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 during 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.
Yet it was Columbus that scored

first when Jared Boll set up Campbell
for his first score in 47 games at 5:05
on a 2-on-1 rush.
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.
Kunitzs 13th put the Penguins
ahead 2-1 45 seconds into the second.
He whacked in a loose puck after the
Blue Jackets couldnt clear the zone.
The second period we struggled
defending a little bit, Columbus
coach John Tortorella said. That was
our bad period and they capitalized
on it.
A bouncing puck skidded behind
Pittsburghs Olli Maatta, and Atkinson scored his 24th on a breakaway
deke of Fleury about 2 minutes later.
Fleury redeemed himself 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 couldnt clear
from danger, Hagelin jabbed the puck
in from the crease.
We didnt defend well around our
net, Tortorella said.
Columbus Ryan Murray clanked a
slap shot off the crossbar with 4:50
remaining.

Penguins star Malkin out 6-8 weeks with upper-body injury

PITTSBURGH (AP)
The Pittsburgh Penguins will have to make
their push for a playoff
spot without star center
Evgeni Malkin.
General manager Jim
Rutherford announced
Saturday that Malkin
will miss six to eight
weeks with an upperbody injury. Malkin
left a 3-2 victory Friday
night over Columbus
following a collision
with Blue Jackets defenseman Dalton Prout
and headed back to Pittsburgh for further examination while the rest
of the team traveled to
New York to prepare for
a game Sunday against
the Rangers.
Malkin is second on
the team with 27 goals
and 31 assists in 57
games, and the Penguins are holding onto
the final playoff spot in
the NHLs Eastern Conference. The length of
rehab required with the
injury means he likely
wouldnt be available
until the second round
of the postseason at the
earliest, if the Penguins
make it that far.
Malkin missed 10
games earlier this season
with an undisclosed
injury. The team went
5-4-1 in his absence and
Pittsburgh is 70-45-9
with Malkin out of the
lineup during his 10year career. The Penguins will need to play
at that clip, and perhaps
better, to reach the
playoffs. Pittsburgh has

never missed the postseason with Malkin on
the roster.
The Penguins recalled
forwards Dominik Simon
and Conor Sheary from
their American Hockey
League affiliate in
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
late Saturday. Nick
Bonino took over Malkins spot on the second
line during Saturdays
skate.
Malkin almost singlehandedly kept the
Penguins offense from
total collapse early in
the season and Pittsburgh appeared ready
to takeoff in January
with Malkin and Sidney
Crosby getting com fortable in new head
coach Mike Sullivans
system. That momentum
slowed when Malkin sat
out 10 games following

a victory over Ottawa
on Feb. 2. He returned
on Feb. 27 and had four
goals and five assists in
nine games before colliding with Prout behind
the Columbus net.
Malkin appeared to
clutch his left arm after
the collision. He returned for one more shift
before spending the rest
of the night on the bench.
Bryant
Continued from B1
agent Thomas Santanello. His most recent

suspension resulted
from missed tests, as opposed to failed tests. But
Santanello confirmed
that a missed test equals
a failed test.
Bryant was suspended
for four games last
season and sought counseling in Houston at the
John Lucas Clinic. He
returned to the team and
resided with his mother
last season in an attempt
to become clean before
apparently suffering a
relapse.
The jump from a fourgame suspension to a
year suspension skips
the 10-game suspension
thats the next step on
the NFLs punishment
ladder. But according
to Aaron Wilson of the
Houston Chronicle,
Bryants suspension
involves more than
one new violation, (so)
appeal may be (a) difficult process.
A 6-4, 211-pounder
from Clemson, Bryant
was a fourth-round draft
pick by the Steelers in
2014.
After missing the
first six games with a
shoulder injury, Bryant
caught 26 passes for 549
yards (21.1) and eight
touchdowns as a rookie.
Bryant returned from
his suspension last year
to catch 50 passes for
765 yards (15.3) and six
touchdowns.

first 16 games.
In his last game, in
the playoffs against
the eventual champion
Denver Broncos, Bryant
caught nine passes
for 154 yards and a
touchdown and became
the first receiver in NFL
history with 40-yard
runs (44, 40) in two

Bryants 194 yards
from scrimmage against
Denver is a Steelers
single-game postseason
record, and his 154

third.
The career of the talented Bryant remains
in question, at least
in Pittsburgh, where
the team in the last
week had re-signed
veteran wide receiver
Darrius Heyward-Bey
and brought in seamstretching tight end
Ladarius Green via free
agency.
The Steelers hope

Sammie Coates continues to improve on
a rookie season that
concluded with him
catching two passes for
61 yards in the playoff
loss to the Broncos.
A consideration in

threat Mike Wallace,
who was released by the
Minnesota Vikings last
Tuesday.
Wallace, who caught
235 passes for 4,042
yards (17.2 avg.) and
32 touchdowns in
four seasons with the
Steelers, has struggled
since leaving Pittsburgh
for a $60 million freeagent contract with the
Miami Dolphins in 2013.
Wallace, wholl turn
30 on Aug. 1, caught 179
passes for 2,265 yards
(12.7 avg.) and 17 touchdowns in three seasons
with the Dolphins and
Vikings.

Going green: Ancestry.com indexes millions of Irish records

Ancestry.com
is making 10
million Catholic
parish records
from Ireland
available online
BOSTON (AP) Just

in time for St. Patricks
Day, genealogical research website Ancestry.com is making 10
million Catholic parish
records from Ireland
some dating to 1655
available online for free
to help people trace their
Irish heritage.
The goldmine of information, available
without cost for a week
starting Friday, includes
baptism, confirmation,
marriage, and burial
records from more than
1,000 parishes in both
the Republic of Ireland
and Northern Ireland.
This will really help
people reconstruct their
family story, said Lisa
Elzey, a family historian
at Ancestry, which now
offers access to 55
million Irish records.
Theres all kinds of
mysteries within these
records.

In this June 27, 1963 photo, U.S. President John F. Kennedy smiles and waves to the crowd from an open car as his
motorcade passes cheering people lining a narrow street in New Ross, Ireland. Just in time for St. Patricks Day,
genealogical research website Ancestry.com is making available 10 million Catholic parish records from Ireland
available online for free to help people trace their Irish heritage. Among the documents is the 1828 marriage record, in
Latin, of Kennedys great-great-grandparents: Edmundus FitzGerald and Maria Lenihan.
according to the latest

U.S. Census data, or
about 10 percent of the
nations population.
The documents,
usually in English but
sometimes in Latin,
and dating from 1655 to
1915, had already been
digitized by the National
Library of Ireland, but

Ancestry took the information and indexed it,
making it possible to do
much quicker and more
efficient searches using
names, places and dates.
The trove contains information on prominent
Irish citizens as well as
the forebears of famous

Irish-Americans.
Included is the 1828
marriage record, in
Latin, of President John
F. Kennedys greatgreat-grandparents: Edmundus FitzGerald and
Maria Lenihan.
The records also
include baptism records

of author James Joyce
and Irish-born White
House designer James
Hoban.
They tell not only the
stories of Irish families,
but help explain the cultural and religious fabric
of the island, said the
Rev. Oliver Rafferty, a

professor of history and
Director of Irish Programs at Boston College.
The older records in
particular, he said, are
fragmented.
There are enormous
gaps in Catholic records,
especially the older ones,
much of it because of the
periodic persecution of
Catholics at various
stages of Irish history,
he said.
The records from parishes in the towns tend
to be more complete that
those from churches in
remote rural areas, said
Rafferty, who is familiar
with the records because
of their availability from
the national library.
Perusing the documents can help researchers make connections through maiden
names, godparents
names, and marriage
witnesses names.
Its absolutely key to
look at things like witnesses and to study the
people around a family
in order to build context
and the bigger picture,
said Michal Brophy, a
Massachusetts-based
member of the Association of Professional
Genealogists, who says
Irish-American research
is one of his specialties.
This will be exciting
to see, he said.
Dog Whisperer Millan says animal cruelty claim misguided Venices

LOS ANGELES (AP)
An animal cruelty
complaint that sent authorities to Dog Whisperer Cesar Millans
rehabilitation center
has been blown way out
of proportion, the dog
trainer said Friday.
The complaint was
started online and based
on footage from Millans
television show Cesar
911, in which a French
bulldog-terrier mix
named Simon chases
a farm pig and nips its
ear, making it bleed. The
complaint is misguided
because it was a happy
ending the pig was
fine and the dog was rehabilitated, Millan said.

Millan was working

Friday morning, the

A new clip was released Friday showing

encounter, said Chad
Sandhas, senior director
of talent and media relations for National Geographic Channels. In it,
the pig is calm and is
tied to Simon with a long
leash, as if taking him on
a walk.
The show initially
aired on Feb. 26.
The pig was tended

quickly and showed no
lasting signs of distress,
Sandhas said.
The extra clip reveals that Cesar and
his animal pack effectively helped Simon to
overcome his aggressive
behavior toward other
animals; as a result,
Simon did not have to
be separated from his
owner or euthanized,
he said.
In her petition, Breitner called Millans

To the
woman
who
marries
my son ...
By Burkley Rudd
Deseret News Service
Before I say anything

else, I want to tell you how
very excited I am to meet
you. Youre still in diapers
somewhere right now, but
soon enough I will have
the pleasure of calling you
daughter-in-law. Welcome
to my family!
Likewise, my son cant
even walk yet. Hes just
figuring out how to use his
little voice and grab things.
This may be years and years
too early, but I realize how
many blinks away your
wedding day will be, and I
want to be prepared. Time
will catch me unawares
unless I stay ahead of the
game.
I promise you that I will
have given my best efforts to
my son when you find each
other. He will know that
husband is one of the two
most ennobling titles a man
can gain, the other being
father. He will know that
he has no business making a
woman a mother before first
making her his wife.
From your first meeting,
he will be the courteous
and respectful man every
man ought to be. Doors
will be held open, chairs
will be pulled out (not out
from under you), and the
grace and dignity of your
womanhood will never be
violated.
He will be the willing,
strong, and capable provider you need, and do his
best every day to give you
the things youve always
wanted but never had. He
will not push and prod you
into the workforce if you
want first and foremost
to raise your children. He
will not resist if you want to
have a job as well, but what
he will do is insist that his
children grow up with dedicated, present parents.
He will quickly grow to
love your family. He will
clearly see where all the
things he loves about you
have come from, and be profoundly grateful for them.
He will be a fast friend to
your siblings and a support
and help to your parents. He
will look forward to seeing
them as often as he can. He
will laugh and cry with them
all your married life.
He will know that belief
matters a lot in a time and
culture where belief is
under attack; you will not be
attending church alone. He
will encourage the best of
your spiritual strength and
constantly reach out to God
for help in that project. He
will refer you to scripture
as a compass for your life
together, and take his place
as the head of the home as
you take yours as its heart.
He will have flaws. He
will get angry and frustrated
and selfish, occasionally
saying and doing things he
will wish he hadnt. Please,
please forgive him and work
it out. You will all be the
stronger for it.
More than anything else,
my son will love you with
everything in him. You will
be the most magnificent
woman in his life. You will
be his very best friend,
the best decision he ever
made. As the mother of your
children, he will be filled
with reverent awe watching
you raise them.
He will never think the
word divorce.
He will need you like he
needs air.
Wherever you might be,
future daughter-in-law, I
hope you enjoy the rest of
your childhood. When you
are both ready, I will be
overjoyed to offer my son
to you, knowing that he will
do everything he can to take
care of you.
I pray that you will take
care of him, too.

Make any woman swoon when on a date

By Mary Petramalo
Women thrive off of

romance; this is true.
They love those sappy
novels and purposefully
watch Nicholas Sparks
movies that leave their
hearts throbbing. But,
when a woman has
enough romance in her
own relationship, the
need to get a romance
fix through books and
movies lessens. And this
is a win-win situation for
you men.
Men have it hard these
days. A lot of pressure
is put on them to be not
only romantic but creative and unique as well.
Every girls dream is to
have a romantic hunk of
her own. Yet it is super
time-consuming coming
up with innovative and
romantic date ideas all
on your own. But let
me tell you, gentlemen:
you cant go wrong
with this list, and your
girl will swoon at your
thoughtfulness.
1. Dance at a park to a
romantic playlist
Pick songs that have
personal meaning to you,
her or your relationship.
Songs are key to setting
the mood and for making
a dance in the park a romantic evening together.
2. Stargaze with a
picnic
Take time to pack
dinner for your stargazing adventure and
make sure to include
chocolate or some kind
of dessert. Dont forget
a blanket or chairs and
take her to a place where
you can eat, stargaze
and enjoy each others
company. You could
even hop on top of a roof
to make it more adventurous and unique. If you
want to make the night
extremely special, officially name a star for
her like in A Walk to
Remember.
3. Plan a treasure hunt
A treasure hunt is a
fun opportunity to show
your woman you pay
attention to the small
things. Create clues
tying in inside jokes
Step up your game with these romantic ideas that will capture her heart.
and going to meaningful places from your

relationship. Have the
treasure be something
important to her. Remember, guys, this
doesnt have to be super
expensive and crazy.
The smallest things
mean the most.
4. Cuddle by the fire
This one never gets
old. The fire and cuddling create an irresistible aura. This is a
date to focus on each
other and just enjoy
being in each others
arms. If you want to add
a little something to the
mix, bringing a good
book or some smores
will make it an even
more perfect night.
5. Pick fruit at a local
orchard
Being in nature together is magical. Just
go enjoy being together
as you pick the fruit that
is in season.
6. Do a puzzle
Get a random puzzle or
a puzzle of her favorite
art and do it together.
Share your first impressions of each other. Have
toothpicks and finger
food if you want to spice
it up even more.
7. Have a fondue night

What is it about fondue
that screams romantic?!
Bite-size food to dip in
cheese and chocolate
creates the perfect environment for an enjoyable
date together. Make up
stories as youre sharing
your delectable dinner.
8. Take a dance lesson
Top of the romance list
right here. Even if you
dont enjoy dancing or
the concept, do it just to
hold your woman close.
And Im not talking hiphop; Im talking latin or
ballroom dancing. Then
surprise her later in
the week with trying a
dance move you learned
while youre both in the
kitchen.
9. Go on a bike ride
Go on an easy-going,
light bike ride together.
Enjoy the moment. The
surroundings. The relationship. If possible,
rent a tandem bike. Explore places near you
pretend to be a tourist
in your own city. If you
want to put a spin on it,
take a dice and for each
turn roll it: even = go
right, odd = go left. Ride
to a special destination
for lunch or a snack.
10. Initial a tree

Go to a nearby park
or forested area and
carve your initials and a
heart into a tree. Then, to
keep up with the botany
theme, go to your local
garden store, pick your
favorite plant, take it
home and plant it in a
pot. Planting something
together is actually quite
a special experience.
11. Swing in a
hammock
Lie in a hammock
in a beautiful placea
perfect excuse to get nice
and close. If youre just
wanting to relax, bring a
good book or a movie on
your iPad. Your woman
would probably be pretty
impressed if it was a romance novel or movie to
boot.

Restoration of ancient Spanish castle debated amid criticism

MADRID (AP) An architect who oversaw the restoration of a decaying ninthcentury castle in southern
Spain defended his work
Friday after critics slammed
the result as resembling a
box-shaped parking garage.
Carlos Quevedo Rojas told
The Associated Press that
Matrera Castle in Villamartin
was in danger of collapsing
completely and that the restoration job was approved by
regional cultural authorities.
The story of the castle went
viral after Spains La Sexta
television this week interviewed residents who attacked the result as a botched
effort.
The Spanish historical conservation association Hispania Nostra joined in by
labeling the restoration a
disaster and said it received
messages of condemnation
from outside the country.
The completed job was
truly lamentable, surprising
both locals and foreigners and
not in a nice way, Hispania
Nostra said.
The castle had been crumbling and in ruins for decades
but what was left of its interior
collapsed in 2013, leaving just
two outside walls. To shore
these up, a new, blank gray
interior wall was constructed
always the subject of debate

but noted that a complete reconstruction of the castle was
not possible because doing so
is prohibited by law.
I understand theres a diversity of opinion and the majority of local people were surprised, he said. Its normal
with cultural sites like this
that a change in appearance
draws criticism.
Jose Maria Gutierrez Lopez,
the director of Villamartins
History Museum, said town
officials were happy with
the result and attributed the
criticism to public misunderstanding of Spanish cultural
site restoration norms.
In 2013, officials had difficulty getting 200 signatures
to lobby for the restoration,
he said.
And now that its restored,
people are complaining, he
said. It saddens me.

An art-and-design island: Naoshima, Japan Flight to Hawaii promises

NAOSHIMA, Japan (AP)
Because I had just emerged
from the gloom of a tree-lined
approach, the white stones
that paved the courtyard
seemed impossibly bright.
Then, my eyes caught something unexpected: a flight of
chunky glass steps, a very
modern touch on a renovated
shrine.
Encountering surprising
and beautiful juxtapositions
defined my visit to Japans
Naoshima, a small island
that Pritzker Prize-winning
architect Tadao Ando has
helped transform into a destination for lovers of contemporary art and design.
My trip to Naoshima was
something of an Ando pilgrimage. Id admired the
work of the Japanese-born,
internationally known Ando
at the Art Institute of Chicago,
where he created a powerfully
contemplative gallery for Japanese screens using simple
pillars and lines of light and
shadow. My daughter came up
with the phrase art-itecture
during our visit to Naoshima
because we focused so much
of our attention on Andos
buildings, and less on the artworks they house.
For a 1989 festival, Ando designed a campground where
the public could contemplate
art and Naoshimas natural
beauty. In 1992, an Ando-designed hotel-and-art complex
opened, Benesse House. Its a
dream come true for those of
us who have always wanted to
spend the night in a museum.
I got a thrill passing one of
Hiroshi Sugimotos extraordinary photographs of theaters on my way to breakfast
the two mornings I spent at
Benesse House.
The hotel complex, which
includes a seaside sculpture
park, also is home to work
by, among others, Jennifer Bartlett, Jonathan
Borofsky, David Hockney,
Bruce Nauman, Niki de Saint
Phalle, Frank Stella and
Andy Warhol. A giant spotted
pumpkin by Yayoi Kusama
that sits on a pier jutting
into the Seto Inland Sea has
become a mascot for the enterprise. Anyone can view the
art, but hotel guests get afterhours access.
Over the next decades,
Ando designed several more
buildings for Naoshima, including additional suites of
rooms for Benesse House,
with the most exclusive connected to the main galleries
by monorail.
Perhaps the most stunning
of Andos structures is the
Chichu Art Museum, which
opened in 2004. Chichu
means underground, and the
galleries are buried into a
hillside so that they become

Architecture, museums and art installations have turned the island into
a destination for lovers of contemporary art and design.
part of the islands dramatic

landscape. Yet the spaces
are filled with natural light.
A Claude Monet painting of
water lilies hangs in a room
over a floor of white stone
cubes that reminded me of
the bright stones in the shrine
courtyard elsewhere on the
island. Chichu also houses installations by James Turrell
and Walter De Maria.
In another Ando museum on
Naoshima, dark hallways lead
like journeys to the revelations contained in the precise
paintings and bold stone and
steel sculptures of Lee Ufan,
who was born in Korea and established himself as a leading
figure in Japanese contemporary art.
Ando got a museum of his
own on Naoshima in 2013. The
architect set a concrete box
inside a century-old house in
Naoshimas Honmura area.
The house literally and figuratively embraces exhibitions on Andos work, which
is rooted in the simplicity of
traditional design and casts
an admiring glance at ancient
craftsmanship. The museum
is a short bus or bike ride
from Benesse House.
The Honmura neighborhood also is home to another Benesse initiative, the
Art House Project launched in
1998. Artists have made galleries and installations out of
abandoned homes, temples, a
dentists office and a hangout
for players of the board game
Go.
Benesse House is named for
Japans Benesse Corp., whose
holdings include Berlitz, the
language education company.
Benesse founder Tetsuhiko
Fukutake bought land on
Naoshima as a base to explore ideas about nurturing
children and worked with
locals on projects linking
economic and cultural development. He died in 1985, but
his son, Soichiro, a collector
of contemporary art, took
his fathers vision further,

saying in an online welcome
message that the island is a
place where art is not experienced by studying set attitudes but appreciated on your
own terms.
Naoshima is craggily scenic,
and so densely forested that
the trees and ferns compete
with sand for footholds along
the shore. Before it became an
arts destination, its economy
centered on salt, fishing and
manufacturing.
The glass steps that caught
my eye are part of an Art
House Project renovation
of an Edo period shrine by
Sugimoto. The steps link the
hilltop shrine to an underground stone chamber. The
glass stairs echoed timber
risers I occasionally saw dug
into the surrounding hills to
ease the way for pedestrians.
More than occasionally, I
spotted humble roadside
Shinto shrines at which the
faithful had left flowers and
other offerings. Seeing them,
it was easy to imagine the
island and its art-itecture
teeming with spirits.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP)

Skygazers from around the
country caught a flight from
Alaska to Hawaii for prime
viewing of a total solar eclipse
that will unfold over parts of
Indonesia and the Indian and
Pacific oceans.
A dozen eclipse enthusiasts
were among the 181 passengers
on the plane Tuesday that departed Anchorage for Honolulu.
The rare event comes when the
moon is close enough to Earth
to completely block out the sun.
Joe Rao, an associate astronomer at the American
Museum of Natural Historys
Hayden Planetarium in New
York, called Alaska Airlines
last fall, explaining that the
flight would be in the right
place for the eclipse. The route
was expected to encounter the
darkest shadow of the moon as
it passed over Earth.
Problem was, the plane
would be passing by nearly a
half-hour too soon.
The airline said it rescheduled the flight to depart
25 minutes later, and it is expected to rendezvous with the
eclipses sweet spot nearly 700
miles north of Honolulu. After
the schedule tweak, Rao and a
dozen other astronomy aficionados booked seats for the big
show at 36,000 feet.
Rao, like other self-dubbed

about setting out to witness his
11th such spectacle.
It is an experience, he
said of watching the sun turn
into a giant black disk in the
sky. Every fiber of you gets
involved in those few moments when the sun is totally
eclipsed.
The eclipse is expected to
last just under two minutes.
The last total solar eclipse was
in March 2015, and the one
before that was in 2012.
Craig Small, a semiretired
Hayden Planetarium astronomer, was taking off to
view his 31st total eclipse. If
all goes according to plan, this
event will put him over the 100minute mark in experiencing
eclipses.
To mark each viewing, Small
carries a special eclipse flag
made in 1972.
Also on board was Dan McGlaun, who brought 200 pairs
of special filter glasses to distribute to other passengers.
McGlaun, a project manager
who runs eclipse2017.org,
will be viewing his 12th total
eclipse.
Its going to be amazing.
It always is, he said before
boarding. Its a universal reaction when you see an eclipse.
You cheer, you scream, you

Pacify kids on trips Natural sleep aids not very effective
Dear Heloise: I have

while TRAVELING

CHILDREN.
Keeping
my toddlers quiet
is a chore,
but here is
what I do to
keep them
occupied on
airplane rides: In my
carry-on, I take small
items (a box of raisins, a
small book, any number
of party-favor-type
toys, such as rhinestone
rings, puzzles, etc.),
each wrapped. They get
to open a gift if they
start to get antsy and
bored.
This works well and
keeps them busy. But
sometimes they seem to
get antsy just to get
a prize. Then we play a
game, use the coloring
book or count pennies.
On some flights, more
gifts are necessary than
on other flights, but the
kids are excited to open
each little package.

Painting your front door can give big boost in curb appeal
By The Washington Post
Your front door is like your

calling card to the world. Its color
reflects your personality and
gives a hint of your style.
So the quickest and most economical way to make over the
front of your house is to paint that
door a glossy new color.
Sure, you could go with traditional but boring black, white or
red. But why not choose something that will make your place
stand out from the crowd?

Painting your front door is
a fast and easy way to upgrade
and freshen up curb appeal. All
you need is a quart of paint and a
brush, says Jill Waage, executive
editor of the Better Homes and
Gardens brand. She says many
consumers are choosing colors for
their doors that are different from
the walls, trim or shutters. This
speaks to the personalization that
people are doing all over their
homes right now, she says.
In a recent survey, about 48

percent of Better Homes and
Gardens readers said that their
front door is painted a color other
than white, black or a wood finish.
On its website, Benjamin
Moore warns DIY painters to
check the weather forecast before
painting anything on the exterior
of a house. The companys advice:
Dont paint when the temperature
drops below 50 degrees, and
avoid painting when rain is in the
forecast, as that could ruin your
finish.
We asked some designers
and bloggers which front door
color they love. Many suggested
choosing a high-gloss finish.
Here are edited excerpts of their
responses.
Designer Stuart Nordin of Alexandria, Va.: Magenta by Benjamin Moore
I dont usually care for a crazy
color because I think you can get
sick of it quickly, but recently a
client and I decided to go for a
deep magenta, and it turned out

beautifully. Its close to red but
more fun and playful without
being too trendy.
Designer Shazalynn CavinWinfrey of Alexandria, Va.: Basil
Green by Benjamin Moore
This is the color of my office
front door and goes with virtually
every exterior color. Green identifies with harmony and growth.
I like to think every entry should
invite both of those things to those
who enter.

Learning tools
John F. Brothers | Herald-Standard
Joselyn Busato, an eighth-grade student at Southmoreland Middle School, completes an assignment using a Chromebook. Students are using Chromebooks as part of
the schools curriculum.
Southmoreland students move into 21st-century

technology with new Chromebooks
By Rachel Basinger
tudents at Southmoreland
Middle School are putting
lessons in technology into
action with the recent addition of a
Google Chromebook.
In recent weeks, each student
in the middle school has been provided with the device that they are
expected to use throughout the
remainder of their schooling at
Southmoreland Middle School and
High School.
Daniel Clara, director of federal
programs and technology integration, said they met with a team
from Bethel Park School District
several months ago because they
were in the second year of using
the technology.
Many of our nations colleges
and universities now offer online
learning programs, and our armed
forces also place a high value on
students who can use technology
proficiently, he said.
We wanted to offer students
that skill, which is to be able to
show their learning in the 21stcentury environment.
After their visits to Bethel Park,
Clara and his team began to lay
out a vision for what they wanted
their program to look like.

Our plan is to ensure that all of
our students have this tool as we
know that in the 21st-century life,
whether it is in the workforce or
post-secondary education, will be
based upon a students ability to
show his or her learning in a 21stcentury way, he said.
The Chromebooks are used to
create, to write, to edit and share
work with other groups of students
and with teachers, and have been
in use for about a month.
Seventh-grade student Emily
White said it has helped a lot for
daily classes, included no longer
needing to carry as many books between classes.
We have a folder for each class,
and each teacher in Google Drive
and our teachers will send us assignments on line, she said. We
can also do assignments right
there.
Her mom, Danielle White, said
when they first heard of the idea of
the district giving each of the students Chromebooks, she had some
concerns, particularly about caring
for the device itself.
I worried that transporting it
to and from school each day would
be problematic because theres
always a bit of fear that it could be
LBIm
dropped, broken or even lost, she

said.
But the school was able to
provide an optional insurance
program to anyone wanting to take
advantage, which they took advantage of.
I would say things are going
well so far, Danielle White said.
She (Emily) has to be responsible
for charging it every evening and
remembering to take it to and from
school each day.
She added that she likes the fact
that her daughter can get her assignments directly from Google
Drive when she needs to be absent
from school.
Emily White said there are definitely ways that the Chromebooks
have made class work and communication with teachers a lot better,
but there are still a few things that
are a little difficult.
Some of the websites we need to
use for certain things are blocked,
so that needs to be figured out,
she said. Also, because we are
not completely Chromebook at this
point, we still have to take books
home.
Her mom said she is hoping
that in the near future the technology will help to cut down on the
number of textbooks the students
have to take home each day.

Clara said they chose to start
the program in the middle school
because they felt the teaming
structure there and the technology
infrastructure was most ready to
adopt the program.
Our goal is to begin training for
high school faculty and students
this fall so that we can implement
the use of the Chromebooks there
in the spring of 2017, he said.
We will use this model again for
grades three through five in the
fall of 2017 and spring of 2018.
The cost to the district of each
Chromebook is $310 and there was
a cost of added WiFi enhancements
throughout the middle school for
better reception.
We are funding our plan
through our textbook adoption
budget, Clara said.
Today, nearly every textbook
provider has the online text, and
the printed text is the addition, he
said.
With so much educational
content available to us online, we
can build the 21st-century learning
into our courses that we know is
crucial to making our students
competitive and successful in
whatever post-graduation direction
they choose to pursue, he added.

Dietary differences causing family conflict
Dear Annie: I have two

young granddaughters who
live on opposite sides of the
country. They are both in
elementary school. Harper
has tree nut allergies. Tree
nuts are hidden in many
things, including anything
with sesame. In many cases,
nut-free items are processed
in the same plants where tree
nuts are processed, making
them unsafe even though
there are no nuts in them.
Simple things like storebought pastries, flour, ice
cream and dried fruit can all
be contaminated. When we
get together, making sure
each girl gets some treats
Annies Mailbox
becomes a huge undertaking.
Cyndi often doesnt get
her favorite foods because
Harper cannot eat them.
Both families visited last
Horoscope
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) Evaluate your position, relationships and
next move. Rely on your
experience to help you make
the best choice. Love and romance should be a priority.
ARIES (March 21-April

best that you can be. Raising
your self-awareness will
help boost your confidence.
Love is on the rise and will
encourage you to socialize
more.
TAURUS (April 20-May

contribute your thoughts and
suggestions openly, people
will offer the same in return.
There is much to learn and
gain if you participate.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
Dont give in when you
should be doing your best
to stand your ground. Concentrate on building your
assets, not on squandering
what you have.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) Spend time with
people who share your concerns. Collaboration will
lead to a successful venture.
Work in concert with
someone you deem special.
Love is highlighted.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Rethink your strategy
and assess your situation
before you respond to
recent events. Youll do best

rather than trying to change
everything and everyone
around you.

week and I had promised

Cyndi a special treat, which
she always gets when she is
here alone. Unfortunately,
I was unable to purchase
the treat until after Harper
had arrived. So I asked my
daughter what kind of treat
I could get for Harper so
that both girls would have
something. She became
upset, saying I should have
purchased the same treat
for both girls so that Harper
didnt feel bad.
This is causing friction in
the family and I feel caught in
the middle. Harper has a new
baby sister who doesnt have
allergies, so Im curious how

can only eat what her older
sister eats. We understand
the severity of the allergies,
but we also have three
granddaughters and need to
know how to handle the food
situation in the future. Befuddled Grandma
Dear Befuddled: When
Harper is visiting, you must
keep your home nut free because those types of allergies
can be life threatening. There
are nut-free treats that all
of the kids can enjoy, or

some. Save the other treats

control will bring good results. A challenge will allow
you to show off. Love is in
the stars.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.

get things done. Youll feel

budget, and plan something
enjoyable as a reward for
the hard work you endured.

A desire to experience the
unusual will be enlightening
and will help you improve

what you can to fix up your
home and improve your
health and appearance.
Premier Crossword by Frank A. Longo
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) A good investment

source. Attending a reunion
or delving into something
you used to enjoy doing will
spark memories and spur a
renewal of old friendships.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) Someone will
challenge you if you are
secretive or unwilling to
share. Do whats necessary

ostracized or deprived of
special time with Grandma
because of her allergy. As

We know its complicated
and more work for you, but
this is your grandchild, and
right now she needs your
protection.

Celebrity puzzle Vertigos Scalped gets a pilot order

Will the project
get an all-Native
American cast?
By Michael Cavna
The Washington Post
Last month, in the

immediate wake of
Deadpools R-rated
success, we suggested
other mature content
comics that are ripe for
Hollywood adaptation.
We noted that one of
those titles, Scalped,
was being circled by
WGN America.
WGN America
now announces that
Scalped has received
a pilot order. While
it will be interesting
to see how the cable
network handles the
graphic content, we applaud that the comic
penned by Jason Aaron
has a shot at finding a
screen audience.
The immediate questions now surrounding
this project become:
Whos in
charge here?
Well, fittingly, it
turns out, DC Entertainment creative director Geoff Johns reportedly will executiveproduce Scalped, a
DC/Vertigo title. If this
works out, a growing
pipeline might prove
fruitful. Also execproducing, as well as
handling script duties,
will be Doug Jung
(Banshee, Dark
Blue), who co-wrote
the forthcoming Star
Trek Beyond.
Just how graphic

can they get?
Scalped
has
received
a pilot
order from
cable
channel
WGN
America.
The Vertigo comic,

launched in 2007, was
partly inspired by
Leonard Peltier, the
American Indian activist
sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering
two FBI agents in a 1975
shootout on the Pine
Ridge reservation in
South Dakota. Scalped
is set on the Prairie
Rose reservation, where
Dash Bad Horse returns after leaving for a
better life only to find
that organized crime has
its hooks in casino life
on the rez. Because
Jung has Cinemaxs
ultraviolent Banshee
on his resume, we anticipate that the pilot for
WGN wont skimp on the
graphic content. Now is
the time to set the bar for
what the producers hope
to do.
Courtesy of
DC-Vertigo
Will the cast be

all-Native American?
Because hes so closely
involved with Star
Trek Beyond, which
features Zoe Saldana,
Jung has surely noted
the recent blowback that
Saldana has received for
portraying the darkerskinned Nina Simone. Its
just another reason why
we expect the Scalped
team to be especially sensitive about casting with
authenticity which
means we anticipate that
not only will the majority
of the cast be American
Indian, but most of the
leads likely will be too.
Whitewash Scalped at
your own perilous risk.

DEAR HARRIETTE: My
father is in the local government and is interviewed
for small newspapers frequently. Recently, when
asked about his views
regarding same-sex marriage, I was shocked to
read that he was against it!
I am used to people
mentioning his interviews
to me, but this stance isnt
something I can even
pretend to stand behind. I
feel like he knows Ive read
the local paper because
we havent spoken about
anything. What should I
say to my father? Is a conversation even necessary?
Also, when asked about
the controversial comments making the town
newspaper, do I need to
engage strangers? Bad
Publicity, (Near) Jackson,
Mississippi
DEAR BAD PUBLICITY:
Given that your father is
in local government, he
is accountable to his constituency including you.
Stop tiptoeing around the
revelation you read in the
paper, and bring it up to
him. You can tell him that
you were surprised about
his position on marriage
equality and that you do not
agree with him. You can
add that you find yourself
in an uncomfortable place
because many people have
been approaching you
about his comments. Ask
him if you two can have a
heart-to-heart. Talk openly
about your views on as
many topics as you deem
important.
Also talk about how
to agree to disagree in
public discourse. It may
be that you end up saying
to strangers that they
must take up their concerns about your fathers
position(s) with him. You
are independent.
Dog suffering from apparent hallucinations
DEAR DR. FOX:

Seven years ago, we adopted a 1-year-old rat
terrier. In the last two
years, he has started
acting strangely.
He will go outside
and sit next to our
floor-to-ceiling window
and bark repeatedly.
When we try to get
him to come inside, he
wont. He does this no
matter the weather.
In the coldest temperatures, he will sit
there and shiver but
refuse to come inside.
He will also do this
while sitting at the
front door. When we
open the door for him,
he cowers and will
not move. When we
pick him up to bring
him inside, he growls.
When he does come
in, he goes directly
out the doggie door
and repeats the same
behavior.
Weve asked our vet,
who cannot give us any
answers. Any ideas?

The word poaching can also refer
to any of a variety of illegal methods
or excesses in taking wildlife. Killing
a deer without a valid hunting license,
hunting illegally over bait, or killing
two wild turkeys when the law allows
only one to be taken are all considered
poaching. Research has documented
that people poach wildlife for a wide
range of reasons economic, as a food
source or for sale; to gain an advantage
over the quarry or other hunters, for
the thrill of eluding apprehension by
wildlife officers, or because some people
do not believe they should be subject to
laws that limit the methods, seasons or
numbers of wildlife that may be taken.
Killing a deer in 1620s England was a
personal crime against the reigning king
or queen because wildlife, then, legally
belonged to royalty. But here and this
is something all Americans can take
pride in wildlife belongs to everyone,
or to no one depending on how you
choose to view it. In America, no one
possesses any particular game animal or
bird until it is legally taken by hunting.
So, poaching in America amounts to
a crime against every other citizen,
against ones self and, especially, a
crime against future generations.
While it is true that state wildlife
agencies have authority to set and
enforce hunting regulations, and landowners have the right to restrict access
to private property, wildlife itself is a
natural resource held in common by
everyone.
Our American approach to wildlife
ownership (or non-ownership) is known
as the North American Model of Wildlife
Management, a unique legal and practical framework that has enabled many
wildlife populations that were once
greatly diminished to rebound. The
model depends on hunters funding conservation work by purchasing licenses,
and then obeying laws and regulations
passed to ensure fair chase and adequate reproductive potential among
wildlife species.
Among the sad tragedies of poaching
is that conservationists already brought
much of our wildlife back from the brink
of extinction. Poachers, by selfish acts,
destroy a resource that others have
helped to restore.
When European explorers first arrived in America they were astounded
by the unfathomable bounty of wild
birds, mammals and fish. As settlers
continued moving west they found,
always, the same incredible natural
wealth. Early Americans encountered clouds of passenger pigeons that
darkened the skies, salmon and shad
runs that choked rivers, bison herds
that stretched to horizons and other
examples of wild abundance we cannot
even imagine. Spurred perhaps by that
very abundance, and in the absence of
any regulation, they destroyed nearly all
of it, within a couple hundred years of
the first ships landings.
By the late 19th century, conservation
leaders like Theodore Roosevelt, John
Muir and George Bird Grinnell noticed
the impoverished state of American
wildlife and resolved to awaken the
public.
As president Roosevelt pushed a national conservation agenda and most
states simultaneously launched their
own wildlife protection and conservation
agencies, such as the Pennsylvania
Game Commission, established in 1905.
Through providing and protecting
wildlife habitat, and by enforcing
seasons and bag limits among hunters,
this conservation movement restored
populations of deer, wild turkeys, bears,
elk and many other species of hunted
game. Every increment in that success
took money, work, ingenuity and persistence. We present day hunters are the
beneficiaries of that resolve.
That proud history is why it is so
tragic that people continue to abuse
wildlife by poaching. It is easy to rationalize poaching, and you will hear it
said around here: What difference does
it make? The one deer, bear or turkey I
take illegally wont even be noticed.
But thats really the point of wildlife
conservation laws.
If everyone ignored the laws, thinking
only of their own immediate gratification, wildlife would once again plunge
toward extinction. Our modern laws
depend on every one of us to be our own
policeman, our own game warden so to
speak.
Because there are never enough
conservation officers to patrol every
wooded ridge or every mile of stream,
we hunters and anglers must accept and
welcome the self-imposed responsibility
to police ourselves, not hard to do if we
value wild things.
Writing about ethics in hunting and
fishing, Aldo Leopold the American
conservation visionary of the 1930s and
40s wrote that Ethical behavior is
doing the right thing when no one else is
watching.
Often, thats what respect for wildlife
and our conservation history come down
todoing the right thing when were all
alone in the woods or on a stream and
no one would know our actions, except
ourselves.

were allegedly using high-powered

lamps to spot the deer at night and
then shoot them.
A spike during this past season
was attributed to an incident along
the Berks-Lebanon county line
where six people killed 256 snow
geese over the limit, which is 25
per hunter.
A hunter in the fall muzzleloader
season, which is restricted to antlerless deer, or does, who shoots
a buck would fall into the cant
resist category, he said.
Some guys cans pass up a nice
buck even though its not in season
or they have the wrong firearm,
Barron said.
Another frequent violation is
tagging a doe with a tag for the
wrong wildlife management unit.
Doe tags are easier to obtain for
units with high tag allocations and
hunters sometimes buy tags for
those units, but hunt in different
units, Barron said.
Some violations or suspicious
activities are reported, but, Barron
said, he encounters most through
patrols and field checking hunters.
Mike Reedy, chief of the bureau
of wildlife protections administrative division and a former WCO,
agreed with Barrons classification
of poachers.
The majority are opportunists.
Other types are night hunters.
Most are opportunists, but unfortunately there are other violators
too, Reedy said.
Whether WCOs learn about more
violations through field checks or
complaints depends on the districts
they patrol. WCOs in rural districts
spend more time field checking
hunters than WCOs in urban or
suburban districts, he said.
I had a district in York County.
I handled calls mostly. When I
had a district in Lebanon County,
I check more hunters in the woods
and spent more time there, Reedy
said.
The commission recently replaced its old tip line, which people
could call to report suspected violations, with Operation Game Thief.
Calls to the Operation Game Thief
line are routed to a dispatcher
and are assigned to WCOs within
20 minutes of the call, said Travis
Lau, commission spokesman.
Operation Game Thief received
326 calls from October through December last year. The tip line had
118 calls during that time period
the year before, Lau said.
The number of WCOs has an
impact on the number of poaching
cases.
When we have more boots on
the ground, more violations are
detected, Reedy said. Officer
presence is a deterrent, but more
officer will be able to detect more
violations.
There are 136 WCOs and nine
vacant WCO jobs across the state
and that number is projected to
increase. The commission also has
about 350 volunteer deputy WCOs.
The game commission did not
begin a new WCO training class because of a financial bind. Staff has
been laid off and the commission
has asked to Legislature to increase the cost of hunting licenses.
The last increase was in 1999.
We have a lot of law-abiding sportsmen out

there. A majority of our cases came from
sportsmen who dont think [poaching] is
fair. I have quite a few cases come in (from
Operation Game Thief) that turned into big
cases.
Jeremy Febringer,
Pennsylvania Game Commission wildlife conservation officer
If the commission recruited

a cadet class now, it wouldnt
graduate until 2018 and the
number of WCO vacancies is expected to reach 40 by then, Lau
said.
The number of repeat violators
that WCOs come across has decreased since the Legislature
adopted two law enforcement
measures several years ago, the Interstate Wildlife Violator Compact
and Act 54.
The compact is an agreement
among many states in which the
suspension of a persons hunting,
trapping or fishing license in one
state can be recognized in another
state. Act 54 significantly increased the penalties for game law
violations.
Before the measures were adopted, a person who lost hunting
privileges in Pennsylvania due
to violations could buy a hunting
license in another state and hunt
there. The fines in place before
the penalties were increased were
not enough to deter violators from
repeating offenses or committing
others.
Were seeing fewer repeat
violators. Guys who worked the
system for years, were seeing less
of them, Reedy said.
Baiting deer is a growing violation across the state.
The number of citations issued
for baiting increased from 311
in the 2012-13 season, to 422 in
2013-14 and to 467 in 2014-15, Lau
said.
Andrew Harvey, the WCO for
northeastern Fayette County and
Westmoreland County, said baiting
violations regularly occur in his
district, but harvesting over the
limit and shooting deer out of
season are the most common violations he sees.
Many of them are violations of
opportunity and are not premeditated, he said.
An archer (hunting deer) sees a
bear and cant resist. They decide
they might never get that chance
again. A guy sees a bigger buck
than the one he shot so he shoots it.
They just let the situation get the
best of them, Harvey said.
He said he caught a hunter who
killed a six-point buck, let it lay
where it fell and continued hunting
for another buck. Hes facing
some big fines, Harvey said.
Those and other violations are
often reported by other hunters or
property owners.
Theyre tired of hunters
cheating wildlife and cheating
other hunters who do it legally,
Harvey said. We really do rely on
the public letting us know about
these violations.
Failure to tag a deer and unlawful possession of deer are the
most frequent violations that WCO
Chris Bergman encounters in his
district in Washington County and
the western half of Fayette County,

which he is covering due to a
vacancy.
A person can be cited for an
untagged deer if they dont have a
license or move the deer to their
vehicle without tagging it first, he
said. Being in possession of an untagged deer is unlawful possession,
he said.
Most of the time they have
a tag, but they try to get away
without using it, Bergman said.
Shooting a deer from inside a
vehicle at night while using a spotlight is what he calls worst case
poaching.
Road hunting, in which someone
drives around to find a deer and
then jumps out of the vehicle to
shoot it, happens more frequently,
Bergman said.
In Washington County, he said
he cited a man for shooting a six
point buck with a rifle on a Sunday
during the archery season.
Most of Bergmans cases stem
from his patrol work, but some
come from calls from the public
including one case this past season
that came from Operation Game
Thief.
We get some from people
calling in, which is very helpful.
The more information they have,
the more we can do, Bergman
said.
Greene Countys only WCO
Jeremy Febringer, said hunters
and Operation Game Thief are the
source of leads to many poaching
cases.
We have a lot of law abiding
sportsmen out there. A majority
of our cases came from sportsmen
who dont think (poaching) is fair.
I have quite a few cases come in
(from Operation Game Thief) that
turned into big cases, Febringer
said.
Illegally harvesting deer is
among the most common violations in the county, he said. Those
charges often stem from people
hunting without licenses, shooting
from a road and hunting over bait,
he said.
We had quite a few bait cases.
That was one of our prevalent
cases. Unfortunately, many of those
hunters kiiled a deer, which made
it an illegal deer, Febringer said.
On the last Saturday of the
firearms deer season, Febringer
said he and the six deputies in the
county encountered 15 illegal deer
violations.
Some poaching cases involve
hunters killing more than one buck.
There have been quite a few
cases where we had to conduct investigations where guys killed more
than one buck. Some were very
nick bucks. One guy killed four.
He just sat there all day and killed
four, Febringer said. Weve had a
pretty good law enforcement year
in Greene County this year. Weve
been very busy.

This included a lack of hurricanes in the Atlantic last
summer, a cool and stormy
southeast this winter and the
record warmth in the northern
states and a return of the rains to
Pacific Coast.
My own take on all of this is to
expect mild weather and a good
bit of precipitation over the next
two weeks.

In this April 11, 2015, photo, the Washington Monument is seen through
cherry blossoms across the Tidal Basin in Washington. Unseasonably warm
weather has prompted the National Park Service to revise its prediction for
peak blooms for Washingtons cherry blossom trees to March 18-23.
Park Service revises dates

for peak of cherry blossoms
WASHINGTON (AP) Unseasonably warm weather has
prompted the National Park
Service to revise its prediction
for peak blooms for Washingtons
cherry blossom trees.
The agency said in a news release Tuesday that it has revised
the projected dates to March
18-23.
Peak bloom is when 70 percent
of the trees around the Tidal

Basin are in blossom.
Last week, the National Park
Service announced the projected
dates were between March 31 and
April 3.
The agency says next weeks
potentially record-setting temperatures, averaging nearly 20
degrees above normal, have accelerated the bloom watch.

North American Model of Wildlife Conservation
The Izaak Walton League was founded in 1922 to conserve outdoor America for
future generations. The Leagues 54 founders, who were avid anglers, named the
organization after Izaak Walton, the 17th century author of The Compleat Angler, a
classic book about the art and spirit of fishing. We are one of the earliest conservation
organizations to set an aggressive course to defend wild America by changing public
policy. Almost every major, successful conservation program that America has in
place today can be traced directly to a League activity or initiative.
Izaak Walton League Member Pledge
To strive for the purity of water, the clarity of air, and the wise
stewardship of the land and its resources; to know the beauty and
understanding of nature and the value of wildlife, woodlands, and open
space; to the preservation of this heritage and to mans sharing in it.
I pledge myself as a member of the Izaak Walton League of America
MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION
