Lost funds
affect kids
nationwide
Many schools fail
industry gauges
BY PHILIP ELLIOTT
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — State
funding for pre-kindergarten
programs had its largest drop
ever last year and states are
now spending less per child
than they did a decade ago,
according to a report released
today.
The report also found that
more than a half-million of
those preschool students are
in programs that don’t even
meet standards suggested by
industry experts that would
qualify for federal dollars.
Those findings — combined
with Congress’ reluctance to
spend new dollars — complicate President Barack Obama’s
effort to expand pre-K programs across the country.
While Education Secretary
Arne Duncan and Health and
Human Services Secretary
Kathleen Sebelius continue to
promote the president’s proposal, researchers say existing programs are inadequate,
and until their shortcomings
are fixed there is little desire

The event took place at the Steinmetz Family
Investment Center in Schenectady and was meant
to honor local workers who died or were injured
on the job in the past year, and advocate for workplace safety.
Before speakers took the stage and the batterypowered memorial candles switched on, the Tobin
family remembered its absent patriarch.
“He was such a smart ass,” Katie said. “He always
t’s been almost a year since Dan Tobin died
of electrocution in a roadwork accident along
Route 4 in East Greenbush.
His family scheduled the wake and attended
the funeral last year, but Sunday afternoon they
gathered again in an attempt to raise awareness
for workplace safety.
“We want to make sure no other families have
to go through what we did,” said Katie Tobin, one
of Dan’s daughters.

Little by little, the number of children in educational pre-kindergarten
programs is dropping.
In Schenectady, the creep is small:
36 children will not be able to join
pre-K at all next year, and some others will only be offered a half-day
class.
The trend is the same throughout
the country.
According to a report released by
the National Institute for Early Education Research, 2012 was worst year
for pre-K in more than a decade.
“After a decade of growth, enrollment has stalled. This marks the first
time we have seen no increase in the
percentage of children served in
state pre-K,” institute Director W.
Steven Barnett wrote.
He said pre-K is in “a state of
emergency” and called for immediate action to get more students into
early schooling.
In Schenectady, the reduction
was at Head Start, which had to
make cuts to meet a 5 percent cut
in federal aid.
But the city school district also
didn’t add any new slots for 4-yearolds.
That’s partly because of the city
school district budget. Superintendent Laurence Spring proposed closing one of the city’s pre-K buildings,
Blodgett School.
There will be fewer seats available
in the full-day program next year,
although the same total number of
children will get some pre-K.
But the program won’t grow with
population growth, a problem Barnett highlighted in his report.
Throughout the country, pre-K
programs aren’t keeping up with
‘People are very concerned about public safety — police, fire protection,
roads, but you don’t hear much about workforce safety.’

Thursday night tradition being revived
BY BETHANY BUMP
Gazette Reporter
Summerville, S.C., is trying it. In
Virginia, Staunton and Franklin convinced their downtown businesses to
get on board with the idea last fall.
Downtown Chico made it work in
California with a street festival and
farmers market.
Downtown Schenectady is joining
each of the above American cities in
extending its Thursday night business hours past regular weekday
hours. Well, sort of. It will start with
the Jay Street Marketplace.
The goal is to boost activity —
browsing, shopping, dining or even
just hanging out — in downtown
streets for just one night a week.
Weekends are for bars and restaurants. And weekdays, most shops
downtown close their doors around 5
or 6 p.m. But a cadre of Schenectady
natives remember what it was like to
take a stroll downtown on Thursday
nights, and that nostalgia is just what
the Jay Street Business Association
hopes will revive the once-a-week
tradition.

Turbulence in the skies
Budget fight grounds popular military air shows
BY M.L. JOHNSON
MILWAUKEE — Dozens of air shows that
draw tens of thousands of people and generate
millions of dollars for local economies have
been canceled this year after the military
grounded its jet and demonstration teams because of automatic federal budget cuts.
For years, the biggest draws at air shows
have been the military’s two elite jet teams,
the U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels and the U.S. Air
Force’s Thunderbirds, and their intricate stunts.
The armed services also have provided F-16,
F-18 and F-22 fighter jets and the U.S. Army
Parachute Team, known as the Golden Knights.
All the teams were grounded as of April 1 to
save money, and the military also dramatically
curtailed its help with ground displays of various aircraft.
Those cutbacks have affected more than 200
of the approximately 300 air shows held in the
United States each year, said John Cudahy,

Abrams tank rolls over budget foes

Lima, Ohio, in

Ohio lawmakers
still send weapon
to reluctant Army
GENERAL
DYNAMICS LAND
SYSTEM
BY RICHARD LARDNER
WASHINGTON — Built to
dominate the enemy in combat,
the Army’s hulking Abrams tank
is proving equally hard to beat in
a budget battle.
Lawmakers from both parties
have devoted nearly half a billion
dollars in taxpayer money over the
past two years to build improved
versions of the 70-ton Abrams.
But senior Army officials have
said repeatedly, “No thanks.”
It’s the inverse of the federal
budget world these days, in which
automatic spending cuts are leaving sought-after pet programs struggling or unpaid altogether. Republicans and Democrats for years have
fought so bitterly that lawmaking in
Washington ground to a near-halt.
Yet in the case of the Abrams
tank, there’s a bipartisan push to
spend an extra $436 million on a
weapon the experts explicitly say
is not needed.
“If we had our choice, we would
use that money in a different way,”
Gen. Ray Odierno, the Army’s chief
of staff, told The Associated Press
this past week.
Why are the tank dollars still
flowing? Politics.
Keeping the Abrams production
line rolling protects businesses and
good paying jobs in congressional
districts where the tank’s many
suppliers are located.
If there’s a home of the Abrams,
it’s politically important Ohio.
The nation’s only tank plant is in
Lima. So it’s no coincidence that
the champions for more tanks
are Rep. Jim Jordan and Sen. Rob
Portman, two of Capitol’s Hill most
prominent deficit hawks, as well as
Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown.
They said their support is rooted
in protecting national security, not
in pork-barrel politics.
“The one area where we are sup-
posed to spend taxpayer money is in
defense of the country,” said Jordan,
whose district in the northwest part
of the state includes the tank plant.
A CHALLENGE FOR HAGEL
The Abrams dilemma underscores the challenge that Defense
Secretary Chuck Hagel faces as he
seeks to purge programs that the military considers unnecessary or too
expensive in order to ensure there’s
enough money for essential operations, training and equipment.
Hagel, a former Republican senator from Nebraska, faces a daunting task in persuading members of
Congress to eliminate or scale back
projects favored by constituents.
Federal budgets are always peppered with money for pet projects.
What sets the Abrams example
apart is the certainty of the Army’s
position.
Sean Kennedy, director of research for the nonpartisan Citizens
Against Government Waste, said
Congress should listen when one
of the military services says no to
more equipment.
“When an institution as risk
averse as the Defense Department
says they have enough tanks, we
can probably believe them,” Kennedy said.
Congressional backers of the
Abrams upgrades view the vast network of companies, many of them
small businesses, that manufacture
the tanks’ materials and parts as a
critical asset that has to be preserved.
The money, they say, is a modest investment that will keep important
tooling and manufacturing skills
from being lost if the Abrams line
were to be shut down.
A STUDY IN SPENDING
The Lima plant is a study in how
federal dollars affect local communities, which in turn hold tight to
the federal dollars. The facility is
owned by the federal government
but operated by the land systems
division of General Dynamics, a
major defense contractor that spent
close to $11 million last year on lobbying, according to the nonpartisan
Center for Responsive Politics.
The plant is Lima’s fifth-largest
employer with close to 700 employees, down from about 1,100 just a
few years ago, according to Mayor
David Berger. But the facility is still
crucial to the local economy. “All
of those jobs and their spending
activity in the community and the
company’s spending probably have
about a $100 million impact annually,” Berger said.
Jordan, a House conservative
leader who has pushed for deep
reductions in federal spending,
supported the automatic cuts
known as the sequester that require
$42 billion to be shaved from the
Pentagon’s budget by the end of
September. The military also has
to absorb a $487 billion reduction
in defense spending over the next
10 years, as required by the Budget
Control Act passed in 2011.
Still, said Jordan, it would be a big
mistake to stop producing tanks.
“Look, [the plant] is in the 4th
Congressional District and my job
is to represent the 4th Congressional District, so I understand that,”
he said. “But the fact remains, if it
was not in the best interests of the
national defense for the United
States of America, then you would
not see me supporting it like we
do.”
The tanks that Congress is requiring the Army to buy aren’t
brand new. Earlier models are being outfitted with a sophisticated
suite of electronics that gives the
vehicles better microprocessors,
color flat panel displays, a more
capable communications system,
and other improvements. The upgraded tanks cost about $7.5 million
each, according to the Army.
Jackson’s final months to be aired in civil trial
BY ANTHONY MCCARTNEY
LOS ANGELES — The most
complete account of Michael
Jackson’s final months is about to
unfold in a cramped Los Angeles
courtroom nearly four years after
the pop superstar’s death.
Lawyers for Jackson’s mother will
attempt to convince a jury that the
company promoting the pop superstar’s 2009 comeback concerts is responsible for his untimely death. The
attorneys will try to prove that AEG
Live hired and controlled the doctor
convicted of involuntary manslaughter over Jackson’s demise.
AEG Live denies any wrongdoing and contests that they hired
the physician who for months was
giving Jackson doses of a powerful
anesthetic in the singer’s bedroom
to help him sleep.
Opening statements today will

provide a roadmap for a case that
will delve into Jackson’s addiction
struggles and issues previously unexplored in court. Many of those in
the singer’s orbit — family, famous
friends, doctors and his teenage
children — may testify during the
months-long trial.
Some of the stars listed on the
witness list include Quincy Jones,
Diana Ross, Lou Ferrigno and Spike
Lee. Both of Jackson’s ex-wives,
Lisa Marie Presley and Debbie
Rowe, are also listed as potential
witnesses.
Katherine Jackson sued in September 2010, claiming AEG failed
to properly investigate her son’s
doctor, Conrad Murray. All but one
of her claims has been dismissed,
but millions and possibly billions
of dollars are at stake. The trial

Entertainment Group has helped
spark the revitalization of downtown Los Angeles with its venue,
the Staples Center.
Unlike the 2011 trial that ended
with Murray’s conviction, the civil
trial will explore the troubled finances of both men — a situation
that Katherine Jackson’s attorneys
say created a conflict of interest for
Murray that AEG should have been
aware of.
The Houston-based cardiologist
was deeply in debt when he agreed
to serve as Jackson’s personal doctor
for a series of 50 concerts in London
dubbed “This Is It.” The doctor had
liens and owed back child support
when he began working with Jackson, expecting a $150,000 a month
salary. Jackson died of acute propofol intoxication before the contract
was fully signed.
The trial is expected to include detailed testimony about other doctors’
treatment of Jackson, a subject that
was largely off-limits in the criminal
case. Unlike Murray’s trial, which
was broadcast live, the civil case will
play out without cameras in a courtroom with only 45 public seats.
AEG denies they hired Murray,
and have contended he should be
considered an independent contractor, a designation many hospitals deem surgeons and other
physicians.
Katherine Jackson’s attorneys,
Brian Panish and Kevin Boyle,
have repeatedly cited emails sent
by top AEG executives referencing
Murray’s pay and his obligations to
get Jackson to perform.
Marvin S. Putnam, an attorney
for AEG who was not available to
comment, has said the company
could not have foreseen the circumstances that led to Murray’s administration of propofol to Jackson
as a sleep aid.
Boston suspects’
mother sought
a deeper faith
BY DAVID CARUSO,
MICHAEL KUNZELMAN
AND MAX SEDDON
BOSTON — In photos of her as
a younger woman, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva wears a low-cut blouse and
has her hair teased like a 1980s rock
star. After she arrived in the U.S.
from Russia in 2002, she went to
beauty school and did facials at a
suburban day spa.
But in recent years, people noticed
a change. She began wearing a hijab
and cited conspiracy theories about
9/11 being a plot against Muslims.
Now known as the angry and
grieving mother of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects, Tsarnaeva
is drawing increased attention after
federal officials say Russian authorities intercepted her phone calls, including one in which she vaguely
discussed jihad with her elder son.
In another, she was recorded talking to someone in southern Russia
who is under FBI investigation in an
unrelated case, U.S. officials said.
‘ALL LIES’
Tsarnaeva insists there is no
mystery. She’s no terrorist, just
someone who found a deeper
spirituality. She insists her sons
— Tamerlan, who was killed in a
gunfight with police, and Dzhokhar,
who was wounded and captured
— are innocent.
“It’s all lies and hypocrisy,”
she told The Associated Press in
Dagestan. “I’m sick and tired of all
this nonsense that they make up
about me and my children. People
know me as a regular person, and
I’ve never been mixed up in any
criminal intentions, especially any
link to terrorism.”
Amid the scrutiny, Tsarnaeva
and her ex-husband, Anzor Tsarnaev, say they have put off the idea
of any trip to the U.S. to reclaim
their elder son’s body or try to visit
Dzhokhar in jail. Tsarnaev told
the AP on Sunday he was too ill to
travel to the U.S. Tsarnaeva faces
a 2012 shoplifting charge in a Boston suburb, though it was unclear
whether that was a deterrent.
At a news conference in Dagestan
with Anzor last week, Tsarnaeva appeared overwhelmed with grief one
moment, defiant the next. “They already are talking about that we are
terrorists, I am terrorist,” she said.
“They already want me, him and all
of us to look [like] terrorists.”
Tsarnaeva arrived in the U.S. in
2002, settling in a working-class
MUSA SADULAYEV/
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Zubeidat Tsarnaeva speaks
last week at a news conference in Makhachkala in the
southern Russian province of
Dagestan.
CONSPIRACY THEORIES
Kilzer wrote that Tsarnaeva was
a loving and supportive mother,
and she felt sympathy for her plight
after the April 15 bombings. But she
stopped visiting the family’s home
for spa treatments in late 2011 or
early 2012 when, during one session, she “started quoting a conspiracy theory, telling me that she
thought 9/11 was purposefully created by the American government
to make America hate Muslims.”
“It’s real,” Tsarnaeva said, according to Kilzer. “My son knows
all about it. You can read on the
Internet.”
In the spring of 2010, Zubeidat’s
eldest son got married in a ceremony
at a Boston mosque that no one in
the family had previously attended.
Tamerlan and his wife, Katherine
Russell, a Rhode Island native and
convert from Christianity, now have
a child who is about 3 years old.
Zubeidat married into a Chechen
family but was an outsider. She is an
Avar, from one of the dozens of ethnic groups in Dagestan. Her native
village is now a hotbed of an ultraconservative strain of Islam known
as Salafism or Wahabbism.
It is unclear whether religious
differences fueled tension in their
family. Anzor and Zubeidat divorced in 2011.
Boston hospitals discharge
more victims of bombings
BOSTON — Boston hospitals
say the number of patients being
treated for injuries sustained in
the marathon bombing continues
to drop, nearly two weeks after the
attack that killed three and hurt
more than 260.
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical
Center said Sunday morning that
six patients with bombing injuries
remain hospitalized, down from
more than 20 immediately following the April 15 attack.
REACHING US
All six are in good or fair condition.
Nine victims remain at Brigham
and Women’s Hospital, down from
36 after the bombing. Seven are in
good condition.
Massachusetts General Hospital
continues to treat six bombing victims, with one in serious condition
and the others in good or fair condition. The hospital has treated 31
bombing victims.
In all, 26 hospitals have treated
people injured in the bombing.

section of Cambridge, Mass. With
four children, Anzor and Zubeidat
qualified for food stamps and were
on and off public assistance benefits
for years. The large family squeezed
itself into a third-floor apartment.
Zubeidat took classes at the Catherine Hinds Institute of Esthetics,
before becoming a state-licensed
aesthetician. Anzor, who had studied law, fixed cars.
By some accounts, the family
was tolerant.
Bethany Smith, a New Yorker
who befriended Zubeidat’s two
daughters, said in an interview with
Newsday that when she stayed
with the family for a month in 2008
while she looked at colleges, she
was welcomed even though she
was Christian and had tattoos.
“I had nothing but love over there.
They accepted me for who I was,”
Smith told the newspaper. “Their
mother, Zubeidat, she considered
me to be a part of the family. She
called me her third daughter.”
Zubeidat said she and Tamerlan
began to turn more deeply into
their Muslim faith about five years
ago after being influenced by a family friend, named Misha. The man,
whose full name she didn’t reveal,
impressed her with a religious devotion that was far greater than her
own, even though he was an ethnic
Armenian who converted to Islam.
“I wasn’t praying until he prayed
in our house, so I just got really
ashamed that I am not praying, being a Muslim, being born Muslim.
I am not praying. Misha, who converted, was praying,” she said.
By then, she had left her job at
the day spa and was giving facials
in her apartment. One client, Alyssa
Kilzer, noticed the change when
Tsarnaeva put on a head scarf before leaving the apartment.
“She had never worn a hijab
while working at the spa previously, or inside the house, and I was
really surprised,” Kilzer wrote in
a post on her blog. “She started to
refuse to see boys that had gone
through puberty, as she had consulted a religious figure and he had
told her it was sacrilegious. She was
often fasting.”

Airshows
Pre-K
Continued from page A1
president of the International
Council of Air Shows. About 60
shows have been canceled, and
he expects more cancellations as
the season progresses and hope
fades for restoration of funds from
the budget cuts. He predicted 15
percent to 20 percent of the shows
won’t return next year, even if
the military begins participating
again.
“The worst case is that they either cancel and go out of business,
or they don’t cancel and they have
such poor attendance and they go
out of business,” he said.
Local economies also will feel
the sting of the cancellations without the air shows bringing in crucial tourism dollars.
Representatives for some of the
nation’s biggest air shows, such as
the air and water shows in Chicago and Milwaukee and the Experimental Aircraft Association’s
AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wis., said
they didn’t expect a lack of active
military jets to affect their events.
The Chicago and Milwaukee
shows are held along the shore
of Lake Michigan, where large
crowds are expected to gather
for a free spectacle; the Oshkosh
event is primarily a convention
of pilots and aviation enthusiasts,
with an air show attached.
But organizers of other events
said they expected such a dramatic drop in attendance that they felt
they had to cancel.
Thunder over the Blue Ridge
in Martinsburg, W.V., an easy day
trip from Baltimore and Washington, won’t happen. The two-day
show drew 88,000 people when
the Thunderbirds performed in
2010, said Bill Walkup, one of the
board members and manager of
the Martinsburg airport.
“Having the Thunderbirds or
the Blue Angels is like having the
Super Bowl — it’s a household
name,” Walkup said. Without a
jet team, the show typically draws
15,000 or fewer.
Organizers also faced a challenge because the show had been
hosted for the past few years by
the West Virginia Air National
Guard. After the Guard said it
couldn’t do that because of budget
cuts, organizers considered hosting the show at the civilian side of
the airport — until the Thunderbirds canceled.
“When this happened, it just
put us out of business,” Walkup
said.
Maj. Darrick Lee, spokesman for
the Thunderbirds, said a typical
season costs about $9.75 million
and the Air Force needs to focus
its resources now on its mission in
Afghanistan. Team members are
still doing local public appearances that have little or no cost,
he said.
“Would we prefer to be flying? Of course,” he said. But, he
added, “We encourage folks to
go and have a good time with or
without us.”
Organizers canceled the Indianapolis Air Show in February because of concerns the Blue Angels
wouldn’t participate, said Robert
Duncan, chairman of the show’s
executive committee. The jet team
makes a 25 percent to 30 percent
difference in the gate admissions,
and sponsors weren’t signing up
as quickly because of uncertainty
about the Blue Angels. The committee is trying to reinvent the
show for next year, perhaps by
adding a 5k run, carnival games
or more civilian aircraft, Duncan
said.
population growth, he said.
Barnett also said that pre-K was
an easy place to cut budgets, detailing a decade-long trend of cuts that
began before, and apparently is unrelated to, the Great Recession.
“While much of the economy
is now recovering from the Great
Recession, the nation’s youngest
learners are still bearing the brunt
of budget cuts,” he said.
BIG ECONOMIC IMPACT
Many air shows, including those
in Martinsburg and Indianapolis,
benefit charities. They also generate millions of dollars in tourism,
benefiting hotels, rental car companies and restaurants. Economic
impact studies indicate the shows
are worth $1 billion to $2 billion
nationwide, Cudahy said.
Bob Anderson, of Tallahassee,
Fla., is among those whose businesses have been hurt. For more
than a decade, he and his wife,
Sandy, have sold Blue Angels and
Thunderbirds T-shirts and other
apparel at shows. In a typical year,
they go to more than 20 of them
and sales surpass $250,000.
This year, they went to two
shows before the teams ended
their seasons on April 1. Anderson,
who is back to doing carpentry
and home repair, said the loss of
business also affects others — he
spends about $90,000 a year on
shirts, printing, embroidery and
other supplies.
“The trickle-down effect is tremendous,” he said.
Air show organizers in many
communities have been scrambling to avoid additional losses.
Curt Drumm, producer and cofounder of Thunder on the Lakeshore, in Manitowoc, Wis., said he
has been talking to private owners
of former military aircraft and to
aerobatic performers to help fill
gaps left by three smaller military
teams. The event usually draws
70,000 people over three days and
is an important source of income
for local businesses and civic
groups that run food and beverage stands.
FOUNDATION HELPS OUT
MARC SCHULTZ/GAZETTE PHOTOGRAPHER
Richard Mare, owner of Downtown Designs on Jay Street in Schenectady, will keep his shop open until
8 p.m. on Thursdays.
Thursday
“You could literally get anything and everything down
here,” said Richard Mare, owner of Downtown Designs
on Jay Street. “There were department stores and shoe
stores and candy stores and a Mr. Peanut shop. It had
that whole downtown small-town USA feel to it.”
Beginning this Thursday and lasting throughout the
summer, businesses along the Jay Street Marketplace
will extend their Thursday hours until 8 p.m.
When he was a boy, Mare’s mother and grandparents would take him out to State Street. They’d shop at
the Carl Co. and then grab dinner. And it was always
on Thursday nights — when stores stayed open until
at least 9 p.m. for teenagers and families and 9-to-5
employees of General Electric down the road.
Let’s first state the obvious: downtown Schenectady
is not what it used to be. There’s no more Carl Co. or
Woolworth’s or Barney’s, though its ghost sign remains
to this day on the tall brick building on State Street.
There’s no more Wallace Armer hardware store or
Olender Mattress Co. There are hardly as many diners
and delis and music stores.
But that hasn’t stopped Jay Street business owners from reminiscing about the city’s heyday and
attempting to usher in their own era of renewed activity. Schenectady is experiencing some downtown
revival, after all. More residential options are popping
up downtown. Foot traffic isn’t great, but it isn’t terrible either.
Despite all odds, they hold out hope that “the way
things were” can return as simply “the way things are.”
“Thursday night was the night downtown stayed
open,” said Mare, who is spearheading the Thursday
night revival. “It was sort of that unofficial kickoff to
the weekend. Everything was here so it was a destination for people. It was a night out for women, who
would get all dressed up and come out shopping and
go out to dinner. It was a whole special thing.”
So what has kept people away?
“I think people still have that fear in the back of their
minds,” said Mare. “For a long time, because there
hasn’t been anything downtown, people were afraid to
come down at night. But if they knew that restaurants
and shops were going to be open and people would
be out, I think they would have more peace of mind
about coming downtown.”
SUCCESS IN SARATOGA
It’s a formula that’s worked for Saratoga Springs, a
city whose downtown has gained national attention
for its array of shops, restaurants and activities. But
it wasn’t always that way.
“In the late ’60s and ’70s, half the buildings were
storefronts that were just papered over,” said Susan
Farnsworth, director of promotion and marketing at
the Saratoga Springs Downtown Business Association.
“Believe it or not, people used to go to downtown
Schenectady to get stuff, because there was so much
there during that time. It took the vision of a lot of key
people to make it what it is now.”
What turned things around, she said, was when business owners realized that working together was in their
best interest. For a long time, they viewed cooperating
with a neighboring business as aiding and abetting their
competitors. And then, a few shops got together and
tried their hand at cross-marketing. And it worked.
In 1986, businesses banded together to form the DBA
and agreed to stay open late one night in November for
what has since become an anticipated annual tradition:
the Saratoga Victorian Streetwalk.
It was also around this time that businesses launched
a blue ribbon campaign, where any business that
planned to stay open late would display a blue ribbon
Memorial
had something funny to say. He lit
up the room.”
She said he loved his job as a
heavy machinery mechanic for
DelSignore Blacktop and Paving in
Troy. The morning of May 25, Dan
was helping out the crew moving
portable light towers off the road,
making room for the Memorial Day
rush. The framework he was moving reportedly fell against a power
line.
“We think it was negligence,”
Katie said.
Dan Tobin’s sister-in-law, Suzie
Wagar, said the accident was out
of his control.
“He was a safe guy,” she said. “He
loved his motorcycle, but he never
drank around it. On the job site he
was by the book.”
His story was all too common at
the event. Officials from CDALF
detailed the circumstances surrounding several of the 28 Capital
Region workplace fatalities since
last April. A young man, newly
married, was crushed by a falling
pipe. A beloved farmer was rolled
over by his tractor. All are remembered fondly.
in their window. Next to it would be a poster featuring
all the other downtown businesses that had agreed to
stay open, as well.
“It’s difficult getting everyone to agree on something,” said DBA President Jeff Clark. “Some business
owners will tell me, 'Oh my gosh, there’s no way that
I wouldn’t be open late,’ while back then they weren’t
sure they would get any people to come in. One of the
things that we’re blessed with is people view Saratoga
as a destination. They come here to have a good time,
to shop, to eat, to play. So our retail benefits.”
Saratoga Springs has the added benefit of being a
tourist destination, particularly during the summer
when horse racing brings thousands of people onto city
streets. Schenectady streets are not so lucky, though
some business owners will cite Proctors shows as
contributing to their foot traffic.
The outsiders who come to town for a Proctors show
need more than just restaurants to patronize, though, said
City Historian Don Rittner. Downtown Schenectady has
a lot of restaurants. What it needs is more retail, more entertainment venues and more people living downtown.
“That’s the formula,” he said. “The formula is you gotta
have the people because then the people demand the
services. You don’t put services first. Right now, people
who live in Schenectady get in their car and drive to
Rotterdam or Colonie or Crossgates to do their shopping. You need a population that demands they have a
downtown that allows them to walk down the street and
buy a carton of milk or a pair of shoes. Nobody wants to
go to the mall to buy just a couple of items.”
CROWDED SIDEWALKS
Capital Region downtowns had a welcome problem in the ’60s and ’70s. So many people filled the
sidewalks along downtown Schenectady, Albany and
Troy that residents were forced to walk in the streets,
recalled Rittner.
That’s because from Thursday to Saturday, all the
stores would remain open until 9 p.m. People could
head downtown after school or after work and find
ways to spend their time until late into the night. You’d
catch a matinee, perhaps, and then peruse one of a
half dozen department stores downtown, each with
its own niche.
“Then you’d hit up your favorite restaurant, get a
Cherry Coke and french fries with gravy and then go
play pool downtown. Or maybe you’d just hang out
at the restaurant with your buddies, or you’d go to the
music store. Back then, you could go to one store to
get your shoes and one store to get your shirts and one
store to get your hats. There was a great variety.”
Rittner hasn’t felt that kind of atmosphere in a long
time, he said. Despite all the time officials spend touting the growing development around downtown Schenectady, he said he’s not sure that new office buildings
will draw people the same way retail stores did way
back when.
“I think it’s a great idea that Jay Street is trying to do
this,” he said. “But I think they have to do it for more
than a couple of months. You really need people to have
it in the back of their minds that 'Oh yeah, it’s Thursday
night, I can go downtown to Ambition or get a used
book at the Open Door or grab a cup of tea.’ They’re
going to have to stay at it for at least a year.”
For now, Jay Street shop owners are remaining
optimistic. After all, they have variety. Along the pedestrian mall are coffee shops and sandwich shops, a
bookstore, gift shop, specialty food, health and wellness, antiques, tattoo and clothing stores. They’ll give
extended Thursday hours a try during the summer
months, and if things go well, they’ll consider keeping
them indefinitely.
“We just want people to take the chance,” said Mare.
“Come downtown and take the chance.”

More than 4,000 people annually
die in workplace accidents nationwide, an average of 13 a day, said
Frank Natalie, CDALF executive
vice president. In 2011, 206 of those
deaths were in the state.
“People are very concerned
about public safety — police, fire
protection, roads, but you don’t
hear much about workforce safety,”
he said.
While Natalie couldn’t say if the
28 Capital Region deaths was more
than last year, or how the number
compared to areas in the rest of the
country, he said it was more than
necessary.
“Many workplace investigations
show injuries would have been prevented by employers following existing regulations,” he said. “In most
circumstances, safety enforcement
is woefully lacking.”
The U.S. Occupational Safety and
Hazard Administration, the agency
responsible for job-site regulations,
is too weak and needs to see an “uptick” in power, he said.
Falls by construction workers
cause the largest number of deaths,
but roadwork accidents like Tobin’s
electrocution are a close second.
Janet Foley, occupational safety
director for the Civil Service Employees Association, told of a road
worker hit by a woman driving
while high on drugs.
“We’ve all seen distracted driv-
ers,” she said. “I’ve seen people
reading books, putting on makeup
behind the wheel. We can save lives
just by paying attention.”
In the end there were prayers
and a moment of silence. Two
dozen people held candles and
signs inscribed with the names of
the dead. Members of Urban Gorilla Theatre, a local spoken-word
group, took the stage to recite some
closing rhythmic poetry.
“Remember me as I was,” said
Christopher Flemming, channeling
the voice of a road builder. “With
my hands on my tools.”

In Schenectady, a sudden federal aid cut would have ended the
school year early for 36 children.
Instead, the Schenectady Foundation provided the money for them
to finish their school year.
Executive Director Robert Carreau said the foundation wanted
to support Head Start because of
its record in improving poor children’s pre-kindergarten literacy.
But, he said, the foundation can’t
support Head Start indefinitely.
This fall, unless federal aid is increased, officials will simply not
invite 36 new children to join the
program.
The same federal aid cut could
soon reduce the number of slots
for Early Head Start in Schenectady, but officials hoped to use donations to keep those children for a
little while longer.
Raymond Schimmer, CEO of
Northern Rivers, which runs Early
Head Start, said pre-K has such a
strong record of success that it
shouldn’t ever be cut.
Yet state funding for pre-K fell
Funding
by lawmakers to get behind
Obama’s call for more preschool.
“The state of preschool was a
state of emergency,” said Steven
Barnett, director of the National
Institute for Early Education
Research at Rutgers University,
which produced the report.
During his State of the Union
speech, Obama proposed a federalstate partnership that would dramatically expand options for families with young children. Obama’s
plan would fund public preschool
for any 4-year-old whose family income was below twice the federal
poverty rate.
If it were in place this year,
the plan would allow a family of
four with two children to enroll
students in a pre-K program if the
family earned less than $46,566.
Students from families who
earn more could participate in
the program, but their parents
would have to pay tuition based on
their income. Eventually, 3-yearold students would be part of the
program, too.
As part of his budget request,
Obama proposed spending $75
billion over 10 years to help states
get these new programs up and
running. During the first years,
Washington would pick up the
majority of the cost before shifting costs to states.
“It’s the most significant opportunity to expand access to pre-K that
this nation has ever seen,” Barnett
said of the president’s proposal.
Obama proposed paying for this
expansion by almost doubling the
federal tax on cigarettes, to $1.95
per pack.
UPHILL BATTLE
Obama’s pre-K plan faces a
tough uphill climb, though, with
the tobacco industry opposing the
tax that would pay for it and lawmakers from tobacco-producing
states also skeptical. Conservative
lawmakers have balked at starting
another government program, as
well. Obama’s Democratic allies are
clamoring to make it a priority.
To help it along, Duncan and Sebelius planned to join the report’s
researchers today at a news conference to introduce the report,
along with administration allies.
They planned events later in the
week to reiterate their support.
Yet those public events were unlikely to sway lawmakers who are
already fighting among themselves
over spending cuts that are forcing students to be dropped from
existing preschool programs, the
levying of higher fees for student
A3
by half a billion dollars in 2011-2012,
according to the pre-K report.
After adjusting for inflation, the
cut was the largest one-year drop
ever, Barnett said.
He added that states could easily
fund pre-K.
“In any budget, pre-K is a fraction of a percent,” he said. “It is
possible to reprioritize.”
‘A PRETTY INTENSE NEED’
Superintendent Spring said he
was dependent on state funding
for the pre-K program, but added
that he would prefer to offer it to
more 4-year-olds.
“I think that’s there’s a pretty
intense need,” he said.
Many children need early literacy classes, he said, as well as
simply practicing how to behave in
school so that they can learn.
“How to line up, how to follow
instructions,” he said.
Researcher Megan Carolan, who
worked on the pre-K report, said
she had hoped that states would
pour more money into pre-K this
year to balance out last year’s
cuts.
“We’re seeing states are trying
to offset it,” she said.
The mid-year cuts at Head Start
are “really troubling,” she added.
She agreed with Schimmer
that investing in pre-K pays off
quickly.
“Research shows, again and
again, the earlier children receive
quality education, the better,” she
said. “High-quality is going to cost
a little bit more, but that’s how
you’re going to get the investment
you’re looking for.”

loans and deep cuts for aid to military schools.
States spent about $5.1 billion
on pre-K programs in 2011-12, the
most recent school year, researchers wrote in the report.
Per-student funding for existing
programs during that year dropped
to an average of $3,841 for each student. It was the first time average
spending per student dropped below $4,000 in today’s dollars since
researchers started tracking it during the 2001-02 academic year.
Adjusted for inflation, per-student
funding has been cut by more than
$1,000 during the last decade.
Yet nationwide, the amounts
were widely varied. The District
of Columbia spent almost $14,000
on every child in its program while
the states of Colorado, South Carolina and Nebraska spent less than
$2,000 per child.
“Whether you get a quality preschool program does depend on
what ZIP code you are in,” Barnett
said.
Among the 40 states that offer
state-funded pre-K programs, 27
cut per-student spending last year.
In total, that meant $548 million
in cuts.
Money, of course, is not a guarantee for students’ success. But
students from poor schools generally lag behind students from
better-funded schools, and those
students from impoverished families arrive in kindergarten less prepared than others.
In all, only 15 states and the District of Columbia spent enough
money to provide quality programs,
the researchers concluded. Those
programs serve about 20 percent
of the 1.3 million enrolled in statefunded prekindergarten programs.
“In far too many states, funding
levels have fallen so low as to bring
into question the effectiveness of
their programs by any reasonable
standard,” researchers wrote.
Part of the reason for the decreased spending is the lingering
effect of the economic downturn
in 2008, coupled with the end of
federal stimulus dollars to plug
state budgets.
“Although the recession is technically over, the recovery in state
revenues has lagged the recovery
of the general economy and has
been slower and weaker than following prior recessions. This does
not bode well for digging back
out of the hole created by years
of cuts,” the researchers wrote in
their report.
Nationally, 42 percent of students — or more than a half-million
children — were in programs that
met fewer than half of the benchmarks researchers identified as
important to gauging a program’s
effectiveness, such as classrooms
with fewer than 20 students and
teachers with bachelor’s degrees.

2 Italian policemen
hurt as shootings
mar inauguration
ROME — Italy’s new government was sworn in Sunday, ending weeks of political stalemate, but
the ceremony was overshadowed
by a shooting outside the prime
minister’s office.
Two policemen were injured
outside Palazzo Chigi when six
shots were fired as the swearingin ceremony was held at the nearby
presidential palace, news reports
said.
The suspect, identified as a 49year-old Italian man with no criminal record, was apprehended. A
pregnant passer-by was grazed by
a stray bullet.
The gunfire sparked panic in
central Rome and prompted the
evacuation of the area outside the
Quirinale Palace, where the new
Cabinet members were taking their
oaths of office.
Investigators described the
shooting as an act of despair by an
unemployed, divorced man and
said he had intended to kill the
police officers deployed in front
of the seat of the government.
A short time later, the Cabinet
held its first meeting.
The new government, formed by
a left-right grand coalition, would
now face a parliamentary vote of
confidence in the lower house of
Parliament and the Senate.
N.M. stabbings
injure 4 at church
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Police
say a man stabbed four people at a
Catholic church in Albuquerque as a
Sunday Mass was nearing its end.
Police spokesman Robert Gibbs
says a man in his 20s jumped over
several pews at St. Jude Thaddeus
Catholic Church around noon Sunday and walked up to the choir area
where he began his attack.
The injuries to the four church-goers weren’t life-threatening. All four
were being treated at hospitals.
An off-duty police officer and
others at the church subdued the
attacker and held him down until
police arrived.
Gibbs says the attacker is in custody but that police don’t yet know
his identity, the motive for the stabbings, whether he had any ties to
the victims or whether he regularly
attended the church.
The stabbings occurred as the
choir had just begun its closing
hymns.
Danish museum
items spared in fire
COPENHAGEN, Denmark — A
fire blazed through The Museum
of Danish Resistance in Copenhagen on Sunday, destroying large
parts of the building but most of
the collection was saved, museum
officials said.
No one was injured in the fire and
firefighters and staff who rushed to
the scene in central Copenhagen
managed to save the majority of
display items, museum spokesman
Henrik Schilling said.
The fire started in the museum
cafe around 2 a.m. and quickly spread
to the exhibition hall. The last pockets of fire were being extinguished
shortly after noon, Schilling said.
The museum is an affiliate of the
Danish National Museum and exhibits objects related to the Danish
resistance to the German occupation
during World War II. The wooden
building, located close to the waterfront, was built specifically for its
purpose in the 1950s, Schilling said.
Nazi Germany’s occupation of
Denmark started on April 9, 1940,
and continued until the Germans
surrendered to the Allies on May 5,
1945. The Danish resistance movement distributed illegal flyers and
upheld secret radio communication
with the British. The resistance grew
stronger toward the end of the war,
when acts of violent sabotage against
factories and railways increased.
The cause of the fire is not yet
known. Schilling said it is still unclear
whether the building can be restored
or needs to be rebuilt entirely.
Calif. victim ID'd;
police seek intruder
VALLEY SPRINGS, Calif. — Authorities have released the name of
a young girl who died after being
stabbed in her home in rural Northern California.
The county coroner identified
the girl as 8-year-old Leila Fowler.
Initially she was reported as being 9 years old, but Coroner Kevin
Raggio said Sunday she would have
turned 9 in June.
Meanwhile, residents of the tiny
community of Valley Springs in
Calaveras County are being told
to keep their doors locked as authorities continue to search for the
little girl’s killer.
Sheriff’s officials say the girl was
found by her brother after he encountered an intruder in the home
around noon Saturday.

Reputed chemical agents test
international reaction to Syria
BY RYAN LUCAS
BEIRUT — The instances in
which chemical weapons are alleged to have been used in Syria
were purportedly small in scale:
nothing along the lines of Saddam
Hussein’s 1988 attack in Kurdish
Iraq that killed thousands.
That raises the question of who
would stand to gain as President
Bashar Assad’s regime and the
opposition trade blame for the alleged attacks, and proof remains
elusive.
Analysts say the answer could
lie in the past — the regime has a
pattern of gradually introducing
a weapon to the conflict to test
the international community’s response.
The U.S. said last week that intelligence indicates the Syrian military
has likely used sarin, a deadly nerve
agent, on at least two occasions in
the civil war, echoing similar assessments from Israel, France and
Britain. Syria’s rebels accuse the
regime of firing chemical weapons
on at least four occasions, while the
government denies the charges and
says opposition fighters have used
chemical agents in a bid to frame
it.
But using chemical weapons
to try to force foreign intervention would be a huge gamble
for the opposition, and one that
could easily backfire. It would
undoubtedly taint the rebellion
in the eyes of the international
community and seriously strain
its credibility.
Mustafa Alani, an analyst at the
Gulf Research Center in Geneva,
said it also would be difficult for
the rebels to successfully employ
chemical agents.
“It’s very difficult to weaponize
chemical weapons,” he said. “It
needs a special warhead, for the
artillery a special fuse.”
In the chaos of Syria’s civil war,
pinning down definitive proof
on the alleged use of weapons of
mass destruction is a tricky task
with high stakes. President Barack
Obama has said any use of chemical
arms — or the transfer of stockpiles
to terrorists — would cross a “red
line” and carry “enormous consequences.”
Already, the White House’s
announcement that the Syrian
regime appears to have used
chemical arms has ratcheted up
the pressure on Obama to move
forcefully. He has sought to
temper expectations of a quick
U.S. response, saying too little is
known about the alleged attacks
to take action now.
Analysts suggest that a limited
introduction of the weapons, with
little ostensible military gain, could
be an attempt by the Syrian government to test the West’s resolve
while retaining the veil of plausible
deniability. This approach would
also allow foreign powers eager to
avoid a costly intervention in Syria
to remain on the sidelines, while
at the same time opening the door
for the regime to use the weapons
down the road.
SILENT ONCE, SILENT TWICE
“If it’s testing the water, and
we’re going to turn a blind eye, it
could be used widely, repeatedly,”
Alani said. “If you are silent once,
you will be silent twice.”
The slow introduction of a weapon to gauge the West’s response fits
a pattern of behavior the Assad regime has demonstrated since the
uprising began in March 2011, according to Joseph Holliday, a Syria
analyst at the Washington-based
Institute for the Study of War.
When largely peaceful protesters initially took to the streets, the
regime responded with small arms
fire and a wave of arrests. As the
government ramped up its violent
crackdown, the opposition began to
take up arms in late 2011, prompting
yet another escalation in force by
the regime.
In early 2012, government troops
began using heavy weapons, first in
a relatively restrained manner on
military targets.
“Once they could confirm that
there wasn’t going to be a major
reaction from the West, they were
able to expand the use of artillery,”
Holliday said.
By the summer of 2012, government troops were pounding rebellious neighborhoods with tank fire,
field cannons and mortars, but the
rebellion was stronger than ever,
prompting Assad to turn to his air
force, and the regime’s MiG fighter
jets and helicopter gunships began
to strike military targets in rural
areas.
After the government was satisfied that the international community wasn’t going to impose a no-fly
zone like NATO did in Libya, Assad
unleashed the full might of his air
power, and warplanes have been
indiscriminately bombing rebelheld areas since.
“It all fits the pattern of being
able to do this incrementally,” Holliday said.
“It’s been important for the regime to introduce these capabilities
as gradually as possible so that they
don’t trip the international community’s red lines,” he added. “I think
this is basically a modus operandi
that the Assad regime has established and tested with the United
States, and confirmed that it works,
and he’s using it again with chemical weapons.”
NEVER A CONFIRMATION
Syria has never confirmed it even
has chemical weapons. But it is believed to possess substantial stockpiles of mustard gas and a range
of nerve agents, including sarin,
a highly toxic substance that can
suffocate its victims by paralyzing
muscles around their lungs.
Concern rose last summer when
then-Foreign Ministry spokesman
Jihad Makdissi told a news conference that Damascus would only use
chemical or biological weapons in
case of foreign attack, not against
its own people. The ministry then
tried to blur the issue, saying it had
never acknowledged having such
arms.
Weapons of mass destruction
are generally viewed as a deterrent against foreign attack, and
their use a sign of desperation. But
Assad appears far from desperate
at the moment, and in fact is operating from a position of relative
strength.
While much of northern Syria
has fallen to the rebels, the government’s hold on Damascus is firm
and its forces have been on the offensive in the capital’s suburbs and
in the countryside near the border
with Lebanon. In the northwest, regime troops recently opened up a
key supply road to soldiers fighting
in the embattled city of Aleppo.
EPA lowers methane-leak estimates
linked to production of natural gas
BY KEVIN BEGOS
PITTSBURGH — The Environmental Protection Agency has
dramatically lowered its estimate
of how much of a potent heat-trapping gas leaks during natural gas
production, in a shift with major
implications for a debate that has
divided environmentalists: Does
the recent boom in fracking help
or hurt the fight against climate
change?
Oil and gas drilling companies
had pushed for the change, but
there have been differing scientific
estimates of the amount of methane
that leaks from wells, pipelines and
other facilities during production
and delivery. Methane is the main
component of natural gas.
The new EPA data is “kind of
an earthquake” in the debate over
drilling, said Michael Shellenberger,
the president of the Breakthrough
Institute, an environmental group
based in Oakland, Calif. “This is
great news for anybody concerned
about the climate and strong proof
that existing technologies can be deployed to reduce methane leaks.”
The scope of the EPA’s revision
was vast. In a mid-April report on
greenhouse emissions, the agency
now says that tighter pollution controls instituted by the industry resulted in an average annual decrease of
41.6 million metric tons of methane
emissions from 1990 through 2010,
or more than 850 million metric tons
overall. That’s about a 20 percent
reduction from previous estimates.
The agency converts the methane
emissions into their equivalent in
carbon dioxide, following standard
scientific practice.
The EPA revisions came even
though natural gas production has
grown by nearly 40 percent since
1990. The industry has boomed in
recent years, thanks to a stunning
expansion of drilling in previously
untapped areas because of the use
of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, which injects sand, water and
chemicals to break apart rock and
free the gas inside.
Experts on both sides of the debate say the leaks can be controlled
by fixes such as better gaskets,
maintenance and monitoring. Such
fixes are also thought to be cost-effective, since the industry ends up
with more product to sell.
“That is money going up into the
air,” said Roger Pielke Jr., a professor of environmental studies at the
University of Colorado, adding he
isn’t surprised the EPA’s new data
show more widespread use of pollution control equipment. Pielke
noted that the success of the pollution controls also means that the
industry “probably can go further”
in reducing leaks.
Representatives of the oil and
gas industry said the EPA revisions
show emissions from the fracking
boom can be managed.
“The methane ‘leak’ claim just
got a lot more difficult for opponents” of natural gas, noted Steve
Everley, with Energy In Depth, an
industry-funded group.
In a separate blog post, Everley
predicted future reductions, too.
“As technologies continue to
improve, it’s hard to imagine those
methane numbers going anywhere
but down as we eagerly await the
next installment of this EPA re-
port,” Everley wrote.
One leading environmentalist
argued the EPA revisions don’t
change the bigger picture.
“We need a dramatic shift off
carbon-based fuel: coal, oil and also
gas,” Bill McKibbern, the founder
of 350.org, wrote in an email to
The Associated Press. “Natural gas
provides at best a kind of fad diet,
where a dangerously overweight
patient loses a few pounds and then
their weight stabilizes; instead, we
need at this point a crash diet, difficult to do” but needed to limit the
damage from climate change.
The EPA said it made the changes based on expert reviews and new
data from several sources, including a report funded by the oil and
gas industry. But the estimates
aren’t based on independent field
tests of actual emissions, and some
scientists said that’s a problem.
Robert Howarth, a Cornell University professor of ecology who
led a 2011 methane leak study that is
widely cited by critics of fracking,
wrote in an email that “time will
tell where the truth lies in all this,
but I think EPA is wrong.”
Howarth said other federal climate
scientists from the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration
have published recent studies documenting massive methane leaks from
natural gas operations in Colorado
and other Western states.
Howarth wrote that the EPA
seems “to be ignoring the published
NOAA data in their latest efforts, and
the bias on industry only pushing estimates downward — never up — is
quite real. EPA badly needs a counter-acting force, such as outside independent review of their process.”
SAVAR, Bangladesh — The
fugitive owner of an illegally constructed building that collapsed and
killed at least 377 people was captured Sunday by a commando force
as he tried to flee into India. At the
disaster site, meanwhile, fire broke
out in the wreckage and forced authorities to suspend the search for
survivors temporarily.
Mohammed Sohel Rana was arrested in the western Bangladesh
border town of Benapole, said Jahangir Kabir Nanak, junior minister for local government. Rana was
brought back by helicopter to the
capital of Dhaka where he faced
charges of negligence.
Rana’s capture was announced
by loudspeaker at the disaster
site, drawing cheers and applause
from those awaiting the outcome
of a continuing search-and-rescue
operation for survivors of Wednesday’s collapse.
Many of those killed were workers at clothing factories in the
building, known as the Rana Plaza,
and the collapse was the deadliest
disaster to hit the garment industry
in Bangladesh that is worth $20 billion annually and is a mainstay of
the economy.
The fire that broke out late Sunday night sent smoke pouring from
the piles of shattered concrete and
halted some of the rescue efforts —
including a bid to free a woman who
was found trapped in the rubble.
The blaze was caused by sparks
as rescuers tried to cut through a
steel rod to reach the woman, said
a volunteer, Syed Al-Amin Roman.
At least three rescuers were injured
in the fire, he said. It forced them to
retreat while firefighters frantically
hosed down the flames.
Officials believe the fire is likely
to have killed the trapped woman,
said army spokesman Shahinul Islam. Rescue workers had delayed
the use of heavy equipment for
several hours in the hope that she
could be extricated from the rubble
first. But with the woman presumed
dead, they began using heavy equipment around midnight.
TIRED, DISHEVELED
An exhausted and disheveled
Rana was brought before reporters
briefly at the Dhaka headquarters
of the commando team, the Rapid
Action Battalion.
Wearing a printed shirt, Rana
was sweating as two security officers held him by his arms. A security official helped him to drink water
after he gestured he was thirsty. He
did not speak during the 10-minute
appearance, and he is likely to be
handed over to police, who will
have to charge him and produce
him in court within 24 hours.
A small-time politician from the
ruling Awami League party, Rana
had been on the run since the building collapsed Wednesday. He last
appeared in public Tuesday in front
of the Rana Plaza after huge cracks
appeared in the building. Witnesses
said he assured tenants, including
five garment factories, that the
building was safe.
A bank and some shops on the
first floor closed Wednesday after
police ordered an evacuation, but
managers of the garment factories
on the upper floor told workers to
continue their shifts.
Hours later, the Rana Plaza was
reduced to rubble, crushing most
victims under massive blocks of
concrete.
Rana’s arrest was ordered by
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who
is also the Awami League leader.
On Saturday, police arrested
three owners of two factories. Also
detained were Rana’s wife and two
government engineers who were
involved in giving approval for the
building design.
Local TV stations
reported that the
Bangladesh High
Court has frozen
the bank accounts
of the owners of
all five garment
factories in the
Rana
Rana Plaza.
Three floors of
the eight-story building apparently
were built illegally.
A garment manufacturers’ group
said the factories in the building
employed 3,122 workers, but it was
not clear how many were inside
when it fell. About 2,500 survivors
have been accounted for.
NEXT PHASE
Army Maj. Gen. Chowdhury
Hasan Suhrawardy, the coordinator
of the rescue operations, said the
next phase of the search involved
the heavy equipment such as hydraulic cranes that were brought
to the disaster site Sunday. Searchers had been manually shifting concrete blocks with the help of light
equipment such as pickaxes and
shovels, he said.
The work will be carried out carefully so as not to mutilate bodies,
he said. “We have engaged many
private sector companies which
supplied us equipment, even some
heavy ones,” Suhrawardy said.
In a rare bit of good news, a female worker was pulled out alive
Sunday. Rescuer Hasan Akbari said
when he tried to extricate a man
next to the woman, “he said his
body was being torn apart. So I had
to let go. But God willing, we will
be able to rescue him with more
help very soon.”
The collapse and previous disasters in garment factories have
focused attention on the poor
working conditions of workers who
toil for as little as $38 a month to
produce clothing for top international brands.
The death toll surpassed a fire
five months ago that killed 112
people and brought widespread
pledges to improve worker-safety
standards. But since then, very little
has changed in Bangladesh.
Its garment industry was the
third largest in the world in 2011,
after China and Italy, having grown
rapidly in the past decade.
Among the garment makers in
the building were Phantom Apparels, Phantom Tac, Ether Tex, New
Wave Style and New Wave Bottoms. Altogether, they produced
several million shirts, pants and
other garments a year.
The New Wave companies,
according to their website, make
clothing for several major North
American and European retailers.
Britain’s Primark acknowledged
it was using a factory in Rana Plaza,
but many other retailers distanced
themselves from the disaster, saying they were not involved with
the factories at the time of the collapse or had not recently ordered
garments from them.
Wal-Mart said none of its clothing had been authorized to be made
in the facility, but it is investigating
whether there was any unauthorized production.
3 die in Afghan bomb blast
as Taliban offensive begins
BY THOMAS WAGNER
AND RAHIM FAIEZ
KABUL, Afghanistan — Taliban
insurgents marked the start of their
spring offensive on Sunday by
claiming responsibility for a remotecontrolled roadside bomb blast that
killed three police officers.
In past years, spring has marked
a significant upsurge in fighting between the Taliban and NATO forces along with their local allies. This
fighting season is a key test, as the
international coalition is scheduled
to hand over security responsibilities to Afghan forces next year.
In Sunday’s attack in Ghazni
province in southern Afghanistan,
a bomb exploded under police vehicles traveling to the district of
Zana Khan to take part in a military
operation against insurgents, Mohammad Ali Ahmadi, the province’s
deputy governor, told The Associated Press.
He said the blast destroyed the
vehicle carrying Col. Mohammad
Hussain, the deputy provincial police chief, killing him and two other
officers. Ahmadi said two officers
also were wounded in the insurgent
operation, which he said clearly targeted Hussain.
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah
Mujahid claimed responsibility in
an email sent to news media. He
called the bombing the first attack
in the Taliban spring offensive.
April already has been the deadliest month this year for attacks
across the country, where Afghan
security forces are increasingly
taking the lead on the battlefield
in a war that has lasted more than
11 years.
Insurgents have escalated attacks
recently in a bid to gain power and
influence ahead of next year’s presidential election and the planned
withdrawal of most U.S. and other
foreign combat troops by the end
of 2014. U.S.-backed efforts to try
to reconcile the Islamic militant
movement with the Afghan government are gaining little traction.
There are about 100,000 international troops in Afghanistan, including 66,000 Americans. A top priority of the U.S. force, which is slated
to drop to about 32,000 by February
2014, is to boost the strength and
confidence of Afghan forces.

YOUR MONEY
THE DAILY GAZETTE
Buying a car should not bust a household budget
Chicago Tribune
As the weather heats up, so does
action on car dealer lots and showroom floors. Many American consumers will be trying to reconcile
their bank account balances with
that delightful new-car smell, asking, “How much car can I afford?”
Vehicle purchases are vitally
important money decisions. Not
only are autos expensive — the
average price of new cars is more
than $31,000, according to Kelley
Blue Book — the buying decision
could hamstring your cash flow for
years into the future.
Vehicle choice often involves not
only how much you’ll be shelling
out in loan payments for an asset
that is plummeting in value but
how much you’ll spend on gas, insurance and auto repairs.
Indeed, median-income households in only one major U.S. city,
Washington, D.C., can afford payments on the average price of a new
car today, about $600 per month,
according to a study by Interest.
com.
“What this research indicates,
more than anything, is that a lot of
Americans are spending too much
money on their cars,” Mike Sante,
managing editor of Interest.com,
said in a statement. “Car costs are
one of the most controllable parts
of a household’s budget.”
So before you dive in and research which vehicle you should
buy next, answer the most important question first: “How much car
can I afford?”
The answer will vary widely, depending not just on your income,
but also how much debt you already
have and what your expenses are.
Still, having a few rules of thumb
can help introduce a dose of reality
into your new-car dreams.
Here are a few rules of thumb.
BORROW FOR FOUR YEARS
OR LESS: As vehicles become
more expensive, loan terms have
lengthened. Loans can go to six
or even eight years — that’s 96
months. Nearly one-third of loans
are for 72 months or longer, according to a recent J.D. Power and
Associates report.
While some consumers are buying larger and more expensive vehicles because they need them, others
have a case of the “wants.”
“It’s not based solely on needs,”
said Alec Gutierrez, senior market analyst for Kelley Blue Book.
“People are jumping back into the
marketplace and better equipping
their vehicles because they can
keep their payments low based on
these longer terms.”
A general rule of thumb is to take
an auto loan for no longer than four
years. Money guru Clark Howard,
who doles out advice on radio and
television, has long advocated not
taking out a loan longer than 42
months, or 31⁄2 years.
“If your payment is too much at
42 months, that means you’re buying too much car,” he has said.
So, instead of financing for a
longer period to reduce monthly
payments, get a smaller payment
by purchasing a less-expensive
car. That might mean buying your
favored vehicle as a two- or threeyear-old used car, instead of new.
KEEP PAYMENTS TO 20
PERCENT OF TAKE-HOME
PAY: A focus on car payments is
dangerous because simply lengthening the financing term lowers the
monthly payments but makes the
vehicle more expensive.
To determine how much car debt
you can absorb, ideally, you would
do in-depth analysis of your finances. But, as a rule of thumb, keep the
total of all vehicle payments to less
than 20 percent of take-home pay,
not gross pay.
The National Foundation for
Credit Counseling’s advice is more
strict — suggesting no more than
20 percent of take-home pay should
go to all non-housing debt, including credit cards. The idea is that
the 20 percent for debt plus the
30 percent that often goes toward
housing leaves you half your take-
home pay to eat, pay utilities, put
gas in the car and pay for the rest
of life’s necessities, said foundation
spokeswoman Gail Cunningham.
“Allocating too much to your
two largest payments, house and
car, takes its toll on a budget,” Cunningham said.
20/4/10 RULE: This combines
several rules, referring to a 20 percent down payment, a loan term
of four years or less and payments
plus auto insurance not to exceed
10 percent of gross income. This
rule is expressed differently than
the 20 percent of take-home pay
above by referring to gross income
and including car payments and insurance.
DON’T BUY A NEW CAR: Depreciation is the issue here. A new
car can depreciate 30 percent in the
first year. That’s losing $9,000 in
value on a $30,000 car during the
first year. Is $9,000 a big deal in
your life?
That’s why financial author and
talk-radio host Dave Ramsey often
says, “You can’t afford a new car
unless you are a millionaire,” and
thus, able to absorb such a financial hit.
If you instead buy a 1- to 3-yearold vehicle, you let somebody else
“pay” that depreciation.
If you’re uncomfortable buying
used, perhaps it would ease your
mind to buy a used vehicle that is
certified by the manufacturer.
“I’m a big fan of certified used
vehicles, especially leased cars that
have just come back to the lot,” said
Farnoosh Torabi, a personal finance
expert and host of “Financially Fit”
on Yahoo.
DON’T LEASE: If you leased
a car because you couldn’t afford
payments, your automotive tastes
might be outpacing your wallet.
Generally, financial experts frown
on serial leasing for most people
because they are continually paying
for only the most expensive part of
a car’s life, the first few years.
Vehicle values should be less than
half your income. The total current
value of all your cars — plus boats,
motorcycles and snowmobiles, etc.
— should be less than half of your
gross annual household income, according to another Ramsey rule of
thumb. That’s regardless of whether you own the vehicle or continue
to make payments.
Find the current value of vehicles
at such websites as Kelley Blue
Book (http://kbb.com). The idea
is you need to limit the amount of
money you have tied up in depreciating assets.
PAY CASH: Paying cash for
a new vehicle seems absurd in
households that don’t have an extra $30,000 stashed away, but it’s
not as crazy as it sounds. First, recall that not everybody buys new
cars, so maybe the purchase price
is closer to $15,000. Most people
also have some value left in their
existing vehicle that they can sell
or trade in. If that’s worth $5,000,
the balance you need to come up
with is $10,000.
One long-term trick is to continue making car payments to
yourself — perhaps in a separate
bank account — long after you stop
sending in auto payments to your
lender. If your payment was $400
per month, it would take only about
two years to build up $10,000 to pay
cash for your next vehicle.
DRIVE UNTIL THE WHEELS
FALL OFF: Not to be taken literally, this hints at the wisdom of
keeping a vehicle a long time, say,
more than 10 years. Indeed, even
the depreciation hit you absorb
in buying a new car softens if you
keep a vehicle a long time.
The average age of a car on the
road today is 11 years, Gutierrez
said.
Remember car repairs are typically cheaper than car payments,
Cunningham said. Another rule
of thumb: If an auto repair costs
less than half of the trade-in value,
repair it. Otherwise, considering
selling your vehicle and buying
another.
Cost of school
prom on the rise
BY JOSEPH PISANI
The prom is making a big comeback.
The recession forced parents and
teens to cut back on spending for
the annual high school dance, but
wallets are finally opening again.
“Dresses are more elaborate,”
says Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst at market research firm
NPD Group. “They are now buying two pairs of shoes, one to go to
prom and one to dance in.”
“This crop of kids cares about
prom,” says Cohen.
And so do the parents, who see
the dance as a rite of passage. The
pressure to help give teenagers a
memorable night is high. “You don’t
want your kid to be the only kid
who doesn’t have what the other
kids have,” says Kit Yarrow, a consumer psychologist and professor
at Golden Gate University.
Prom spending is expected
to rise this spring to an average
$1,139. That’s among families who
are planning to spend some money
to attend the annual affair, according to a survey of 1,025 parents of
prom age teens by payment processor Visa Inc. and research company
Gfk. Not included in the average
were 12 percent who said they
wouldn’t spend anything on the
prom. A majority of parents with
teenagers surveyed were still unsure how much they’d spend.
Leigh Dow didn’t have a budget for her 16-year-old daughter’s
prom dress. She wanted it to be
well made, have a good fit and be
unique.
Dow paid $500 for a raspberrycolored gown with silver beading
and a sweetheart neckline. She ex-
pects her daughter, Darby McDaniel, who is a junior in high school, to
wear the dress more than once.
Dow will also pay for a hairstylist, a spray tan and part of the cost
of a party bus to drive a group of
kids to the dance.
“Prom has become a very big
production,” says Dow, who owns
Dow Media Group, a marketing
company.
Mother and daughter bought
the dress from a small boutique in
Chandler, Ariz., where they live.
They chose the boutique because it
keeps a registry of the dresses that
girls from area schools buy, so that
no two girls from the same school
show up in identical dresses.
“You don’t want to be competing with anyone,” says McDaniel,
whose prom is open to both juniors
and seniors. “You don’t want to be
outshined.”
SETTING A BUDGET
Other parents set more precise
budgets. Anne Klein, who lives in
Durango, Colo., gave her 17-year
old daughter a budget of $150 for
a prom dress. They picked a $120
peach colored dress from a Macy’s
Inc. store in San Diego while visiting colleges in the area. The remaining $30 will go toward shoes.
David’s Bridal, which sells prom
dresses, says the average spent on
prom dresses this year at its 300
stores is $170. The most popular color is pink blush, thanks to
“Hunger Games” actress Jennifer
Lawrence, says Brian Beitler, an executive vice president. Lawrence
wore a similar color to the Academy Awards.
“Kids are fantasizing about their
own stardom in a way,” says Yar-

row. “This is sort of their red carpet
moment.”
Boys want to be noticed too.
Men’s Wearhouse Inc. says boys
are spending anywhere from $60
to $200 on tuxedo rentals. A gray
tuxedo by Vera Wang is popular
this year. It rents for $180.
Baby blue tuxedos are a popular choice on HalloweenCostumes.
com. The website says that it had
to make more of its $220 tuxedos
after they sold out three months
ago. The retailer, which also sells
its tuxedos in small boutiques, at-
tributes the bump in sales to celebrities who have been wearing
colored tuxedos to awards shows.
Sales of the website’s hunting camouflage tuxedos are up 20 percent
from a year ago. They’re in demand
because the cast of popular duck
hunting reality show “Duck Dynasty” wear similar ones, says Mark
Bietz, vice president of marketing
at HalloweenCostumes.com.
Wendy Kerschner, of Adamstown, Pa., told her 16-year-old son
that she wasn’t paying for any of
his prom expenses. She wanted to
teach him a lesson about spending
money. “I am in the minority,” says
Kerschner, who does marketing
for in-home senior care company
Comfort Keepers.
Her son, Casey Kerschner, paid
$129 to rent a gray tuxedo with
money he made cleaning stalls
at a horse barn. The prom ticket
cost the high school junior $50. He
spent $20 on two tickets for the
after-prom party. He didn’t take a
limousine earlier this month. Most
people in his school didn’t. Instead,
he paid $10 to get his Volkswagen
Jetta cleaned.
“It’s fun,” says Casey Kerschner
about the prom, “but in my opinion,
it’s not worth $220.”
He’s not sure if he will go to the
prom again next year. A local tuxedo shop offers high school boys
a free rental if they wear a tuxedo
all day and hand out fliers and coupons. He might try to do that next
year.
“The way I see it,” he says, “I
worked a little over two weeks
shoveling stalls at a horse barn to
spend five hours at a dance.”
Now is a good time to save money on a cruise vacation
BY ALEX VEIGA
Recent images of a cruise ship
limping back to port after an engine
malfunction didn’t do the cruise
industry any favors heading into
the summer vacation season. And
cringe-worthy accounts from passengers who had to make do without power or working toilets for
five days may have turned some
travelers off cruising for good.
But for those undeterred by the
mishap that befell the Carnival
Triumph in February, nor that of
several other headline-grabbing
woes that afflicted some of Carnival Corp.’s other ships over the
past year, this is a good time to
save money on a cruise vacation,
experts say.
And it’s not just Carnival that
has had to discount its fares to
coax back passengers. An economic
slowdown in Europe has opened
the door to savings on cruises that
sail around ports in the Mediterranean Sea, says Carolyn Spencer
Brown, editor-in-chief of Cruise
Critic, an online cruise reviews
guide published by The Independent Traveler Inc.
“A lot of Europe is feeling the
pinch of the recession,” she says.
“There are some low prices and
there’s a lot of availability.”
Ready to set sail? Here are eight
tips for saving money on a cruise
vacation:
1. BOOK EARLY
The cruise industry touts offer-packed deals during its annual
“Wave Season,” which runs from
January through March. If you
know exactly when you want to
travel, say specifically in the summer when kids are out of school, it
pays to book as soon as possible.
Although you may get a lower
price attempting to book at the last
minute, by booking early you can
often get perks, such as free airfare
to the departure city, or on-board
credits to spend on extras like a
massage, or an upgraded cabin.
In general to take advantage
of these added incentives, travelers need to book at least four to
six months in advance to get the
ship, travel dates and state room
of choice, adds Carrie Finley-Bajak,
CEO of cruising information site
CruiseBuzz.net. Also, if you aren’t
picky about which cabin you get,
you can save by accepting an unspecified cabin guarantee.
2. AVOID PEAK TIMES
High season is generally during
the summer and other times of
the year when school is out. That
includes spring break, around the
December holidays, Thanksgiving,
etc.
For the best deals, book travel
for other times of the year: During
the school year. After Thanksgiving and before Christmas. And,
incidentally, right now.
“This is the season,” Spencer
Brown says. “Spring is a great time
after the Easter holidays to nab a
deal.”
At this time of the year, different
cruise ship itineraries become more
affordable, too.
With summer still a couple
months away, Caribbean and
Mediterranean cruises are more
affordable, as is an Alaskan voyage, Spencer Brown says.
3. SAIL OLD SCHOOL
Another way to save money: Select a cruise with an older ship. It
may not have as many amenities,
but it also won’t have nearly as
many of the cabins with balconies,
which are pricier than the smaller,
windowless interior cabins.
Finley-Bajak recommends doing
some research on the cruise line
to find what year a given ship was
built.
Many of the older ships tend to
run all year long on three-day itin-
eraries and are more affordable.
4. LOOK FOR REPOSITIONING
CRUISES
Cruise lines move their ships
from their rotation in one region
to another every few months, usually as the high season in one region
cools off and before the next destination heats up. For example, a ship
will shift from the Mediterranean
to the Caribbean for the winter, or
vice versa. Or from the Caribbean
to Alaska for the summer.
Booking a vacation on one of
these repositioning cruises can be
significantly cheaper than a regular
itinerary that hits several stops before returning to a home port. All
told, you could pay from $35 to $65
per person, per day on a repositioning cruise, says Spencer Brown.
However, one should consider
that repositioning cruises are only
one-way. The voyage also can
take 10 days to two weeks, with
fewer stops at ports of call along
the way.
5. LOOK BEYOND PRICE
When selecting a cruise, price
isn’t the only consideration, by
far.
There are the perks and incentives that could end up making the
trip a better value. But a key factor
is whether the cruise you select is
right for you. That’s because cruise
lines cater to different niches of
travelers. An older traveler looking for a refined cruise probably
wouldn’t be happy on a party ship
festooned with nightclubs, basketball courts and other attractions
aimed at younger passengers.
Experts recommend you read
up about specific ships and their
itineraries to get a sense of whether
the cruise fits what you’re looking
for.
6. TARGET CHEAPER
ITINERARIES
The shorter the voyage, the less
costly the cruise. If you’re looking
for ultra-cheap, go for a three-day
cruise, which tend to compete more
on price.
The weak economy in Europe
makes a seven-day Mediterranean
cruise a good value. Plus, as more
cruise lines reposition ships there,
competition will increase. That’s
good for the consumer.
Other ways to find deals: Monitor sites that advertise deals. Some
of them include Cruisebuzz.net,
Cruise.com and Cruisedeals.com
In addition, getting on cruise
company mailing lists can tip you
off to sales in advance.

7. CONSIDER A TRAVEL
AGENT
A cruise vacation has a lot of
components to sort out, from air
travel to the departure port, to
offshore activities that often are
not included in your cruise costs.
Travel agents can help sort out the
details.
“A travel agent will have access
to all the ships and current pricing and promotions,” says FinleyBajak.
8. ACCOUNT FOR EXTRAS
The term all-inclusive is often
associated with a cruise vacation,
but in most cases, it’s far from the
truth.
“If anybody says cruising is allinclusive, they’re crazy,” says Spencer Brown, adding that one always
pays extra to gamble in the casino,
visit the spa, use the Internet, eat
at certain restaurants and onshore
excursions.
There may also be a hotel stay
before your departure, government
taxes, fees and gratuities to cover.

potential travel costs when

The right approach
for Saratoga County
Animal Shelter job
Last month, enough members
of the Saratoga County Board of
Supervisors thought better of hiring an inexperienced 22-year-old
to run the county’s animal shelter.
They wisely rejected the candidacy
of Christina Abele. That was over
the recommendation of the board’s
selection committee, at least one
member of which had received sizable campaign contributions from
the candidate’s politically connected father.
Now the county has taken the
next logical step, updating the
animal shelter director’s job description and qualifications for the
first time in 33 years to account for
how the facility has grown since
the last director was hired. This is
also good news, and evidence that
the board learned something from
the political firestorm created by
the selection committee’s endorsement.
Abele, a five-year shelter volunteer and recent college grad,
may have been a good candidate
in many respects, but she clearly
lacked management experience.
Maybe that wasn’t such a big issue
when the last shelter director, Dan
Butler, was hired in 1980. But the
shelter has grown into a fairly big
operation, with five full-time and
seven part-time employees, as
well as several dozen volunteers.
Managing a work force of that
size is not easy for someone with
no experience, regardless of their
education credentials. And the job’s
salary, $62,413 plus benefits, was
hardly inconsequential.
Then there was the issue of
Abele’s father — a businessman
who has donated thousands to
county Republicans over the years.
Juxtaposed with his daughter’s glaring lack of experience, it appeared
that the political fix was in.
Perhaps it never occurred to the
board to update the director’s job
description when it solicited applicants, which may explain why
hordes of people with better qualifications didn’t apply. But after the
public got wind of the situation and
voiced outrage, the board wisely
reconsidered.
It has since reviewed the qualifications and tweaked the job
description appropriately, so that
not only is more experience with
animals required for the job — four
years instead of just two for applicants with a bachelor’s degree;
six years with an associate’s — applicants must also have at least two
years’ supervisory experience. At
least now if the board opts for a
candidate with political connections, members will be in a better
position to argue that they were
merely coincidental.
Ex-NASA guru speaks
mind on climate change
Having directed NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies for most of the
past four decades, Dr. James E. Hansen retired this month to devote himself to the
scientific activism that has brought both
awards and catcalls during his long and
distinguished career.
Hansen recently spoke about the dangers
of global warming, the benefits of nuclear
power, the failures of both Republican and
Democratic administrations, the imperatives of scientific advocacy — and how a
carbon tax might actually replace “cap and
trade,” which seems to be disintegrating
in Europe.
Now 72, Hansen joined NASA in 1972,
planning to study the effect of gas clouds on
the climate of Venus, but eventually realized that investigating climate changes on
Earth was “probably more important — a
planet that is changing before our eyes and
has people living on it.”
By 1981, his team at NASA-Goddard
published its first major paper on carbon
dioxide and climate in the journal Science,
which prompted page-one coverage in The
New York Times.
“We said we can’t burn all the coal
without producing a very different planet,”
Hansen recalls. But “it wasn’t until 1988 that
I gave testimony which got a lot of attention, and that was because that was the year
of a heat wave and tremendous drought
in the Midwest United States.” Hansen’s
warnings increasingly irked the Republican
oilmen in the Reagan and Bush administrations, who tried to silence or fire him, but
they never drove him out.
Publicly, he remained quiet for 15 years.
“But the message in the science had become
clearer and clearer ... It was well accepted
by (2004) that the planet really was getting
warmer and the cause was human-made
greenhouse gases. And yet the policies still
took no account of that, and the plan was
to build more and more coal-fired power
plants.”
He finally spoke out again at the University of Iowa — “to make clear that the Bush
administration was not taking effective action.” That speech “drew the attention of
the Bush administration,” he says, laughing, “and they decided to assign someone
to keep track of me and prevent me from
speaking out.” (Eventually the Times reported that, too.)
In recent years, Hansen has been arrested in climate protests at the White
House and elsewhere, and in retirement
plans to intensify his activism. Freed from
the strictures of government, he plans to
assist in “legal actions against state and
federal government for not adequately
protecting the rights of young people and
future generations. And also contributing
to the cases where they’re trying to stop
coal exports from the West Coast — and
the (Keystone) tar sands pipeline.”
Joe Conason
Catastrophic climate change can be
averted, Hansen says, but only if we start
“putting an honest price on the fossil fuels that includes their environmental costs,
both their effect on human health, those
costs being paid completely by the public,
their effects in air pollution and water pollution, but also their effects on climate.”
He scorns the current “dishonest” capand-trade scheme. “You have to have a
simple system which is transparent and
which actually reduces the fossil fuel use.
There’s really no value added by bringing
the big banks into the problem. But with the
cap-and-trade (system), the prices fluctuate and because there’s so much politics
involved the prices can collapse, and so no
one has any confidence in that system.
“And the banks, of course” — he laughs
— “JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs,
they have skilled trading units, hundreds
of highly capable people who will make big
dollars out of trades — but it adds nothing of value to the system, and where does
that money come from? It doesn’t come out
of thin air; it comes out of the public, the
people, paying more for their energy.”
Instead, Hansen favors a simple carbon
tax or what he calls “fee and dividend,” with
a rising surcharge on fossil fuels that is rebated in full to all taxpayers.”
[Another] alternative that Hansen favors
— a rapid worldwide expansion of nuclear
power — is highly controversial among environmentalists, to say the least.
He worries that solar, wind and other
renewable sources will not soon provide
sufficient reliable energy. “I think that
nuclear is probably needed, but I’m quite
happy to just say ‘let’s put a rising price on
carbon and let the market decide.’
He stands with the environmentalists
in strong opposition to the Keystone XL
project, however. “If you make that pipeline, that sort of guarantees that over time,
you’re eventually going to exploit a lot of
that (tar sands) resource. And it doesn’t
make any sense economically if you look
at it.
Politically, Hansen urges Americans to
support Citizens Climate Lobby, a group
advocating a simple flat carbon fee, with
the money distributed to the public. He
is considering whether to help found a
“grandparents” movement against climate
change. “But frankly in the United States it
looks very difficult with our present two
parties to get prompt action. I think we
need a third party. Money has too big an
influence on our politics in Washington
and somehow we need to do something
about that.”

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
Government can
control an unarmed
populace too easily
The Second Amendment, guaranteeing
us the right to bear arms, is an extremely
important right in order for us to maintain
our freedoms.
Why is that, you may ask? Our Founding
Fathers ranked the right to bear arms as
the second most important right — just behind freedom of speech. Why? They knew
European history because that was where
they were from. During the 3,000 years of
European history preceding the American
Revolution, only the rulers (kings, queens
and members of the aristocracy) and their
armies had the weapons.
The peasant class, from which most of
us here in America are descended, did not.
They had no freedoms and were completely dependent on the ruling class, which had
all the power.
Consider this: From the time of the Trojan War to the signing of the Declaration of
Independence, the only major technological improvements were the size of sailing
ships, effectiveness of weapons (including
guns and cannons) and the invention of the
printing press.
Notice the improvements that have been
made, mostly in America, since “life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness” were guaranteed by the Constitution — from sailing
ships to spaceships, and from the printing
press to the Internet.
Why? Because government’s role was
to protect and assist “we the people,” not
control us. Government couldn’t control
us; we had guns.
Government’s role appears to be changing rather rapidly, unfortunately. We are
becoming a regulation nation. Government
is currently seeking to control our behavior,
from Obamacare to restrictions imposed
on the private sector and free enterprise,
to what we can eat and drink.
And now, the Second Amendment is
under attack. Gee, I wonder why?

SICM’s day of service
an unqualified success
I would like to thank the many people
who contributed to the success of SICM’s
[Schenectady Inner City Ministry] third
annual day of service April 13.
Over 75 volunteers representing various
congregations, the community, students of
Phi Gamma Delta and InterVarsity Christian Fellowship of Union College, and the
Franciscan Center of Siena College came
together to spruce up seven of Schenectady’s parks.
Thanks to the effort and time of all these
individuals, the park sites for SICM’s summer lunch program have a jump-start on
being clean, safe environments for the children of Schenectady to enjoy their lunch
this summer.
Special thanks to Faith United Methodist
Church members for hosting a pre-workday breakfast, and to [Schenectady’s General Services] Commissioner Carl Olsen
and his staff for providing assistance with
collecting trash and lawn refuse, and for
checking at each site to make sure things
were in order.
Also worth noting is the coverage the
various media provided to showcase some
“good news” in the city! All those involved
proved the difference a group of committed
individuals can make in the community!

One good vote for Barack
Obama deserved another
Re Charles Locurto’s April 22 letter,
“Obama betrays seniors with Social Security cut”: Charles has reached the spry
young age of 93 — God bless him. He voted
for Obama at 93. Again, God bless him! He
did the right thing.
This letter is to assuage Mr. Locurto’s
worries. One, the chained CPI (Consumer
Price Index) would result in an annual loss
of $1,000 after 20 years. This is substantial,
but has no hope of happening. Social Security has nothing to do with the deficit and
there are many easy fixes, but I digress.
Obama’s reasoning for this offer is to
show the intransigence of the Republicans
to agree with him on anything. He is trying
to pick off enough Republicans (17) in the
2014 mid-term elections to win back the
gerrymandered House.
I wish to commend Mr. Locurto for exercising his civic duty in 2012, and hope
he is able and willing to vote in 2014, 2016
and beyond.

Gun foe’s conclusion about
mass murder was absurd
Re Ted Thompson’s April 23 letter on
guns: He states, “For the National Rifle Association to insist that every citizen has
the constitutional right to be equipped for
mass murder [simply indicates how sick
our society has become].”
Assuming Mr. Thompson was born
with male genitalia, does that make him
equipped for rape? I doubt it.
Where does the stupidness stop?

Deficit paranoia just a smokescreen
The policy mystery of our time is why
politicians in the United States and across
much of the democratic world are so obsessed with deficits when their primary
mission ought to be bringing down high
and debilitating rates of unemployment.
And since last week saw a cross-party
celebration of the opening of George W.
Bush’s presidential library, I’d add a second mystery: Why is it that conservative
Republicans who freely cut taxes while
backing two wars in the Bush years started preaching fire on deficits only after a
Democrat entered the White House?
Here is a clue that helps unravel this
whodunit: Many of the same conservatives
who now say we have to cut Social Security
to deal with the deficit supported Bush’s
plan to privatize Social Security — even
though the transition would have added another $1 trillion to the deficit. The one thing
the two positions have in common is that
Bush’s proposal would also have reduced
guaranteed Social Security benefits.
In other words, deficits don’t really matter to many of the ideological conservatives
shouting so loud about them now. Their
central goal is to hack away at government.
This goes to the larger argument about
jobs and deficits. For a brief time after the
Great Recession hit, governments around
the world, including President Obama’s
administration, agreed that the immediate priority was restoring growth. Through
deficit spending and other measures, the 20
leading economies agreed to pump about
$5 trillion into the global economy.
Obama and Democrats in Congress
enacted a substantial stimulus. The package should have been bigger, but Obama
— thinking he would have another shot
E.J. Dionne
later at boosting the economy — kept its
size down to win enough votes to get it
through Congress.
The second chance didn’t come because
conservatives stoked anti-government deficit mania — and never mind that the deficit
ballooned because of the downturn itself,
the stimulus needed to reverse it, and those
fiscally improvident Bush-era decisions.
Then along came academic economists
to bless the anti-deficit fever with the authority of spreadsheets. In a 2010 paper
cited over and over by pro-austerity politicians, Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff argued that when countries reached a
debt level above 90 percent of their GDP,
they almost always fell into slow growth
or contraction.
Financial Times columnist Philip Stephens compactly takes the story from there:
“The implication was that deep retrenchment was the only route back to prosperity. Now, economists at the University of
Massachusetts Amherst say the results
reflected a data ‘coding error’ and some
questionable aggregation. The assumption
that high debt always equals low growth is
not sustained by the evidence.”
While Reinhart and Rogoff acknowledged their error, they dismissed the controversy in a New York Times op-ed as an
“academic kerfuffle” and insisted that their
findings had often been “exaggerated or
misrepresented” by, among others, politicians. (They also complained about the
“hate-filled, even threatening, email messages” they received. I’d be happy to share
my email with them. Friends, if you have
the good fortune to be engaged in public
debates, you get a lot of angry missives
these days.)
The two economists would have added
to their credibility by showing a bit more
humility about their data problem. But the
damage was done. Europe and the United
States moved prematurely to austerity.
Tens of millions of people have suffered
from joblessness or lower real incomes.
Reinhart and Rogoff didn’t force these decisions, but they abetted them.
Now, through the sequester cuts, we are
compounding the problem. It’s outrageous
that Congress and the administration are
moving quickly to reduce the inconvenience to travelers — people fortunate
enough to be able to buy plane tickets — by
easing cuts in air traffic control while leaving the rest of the sequester in place. What
about the harm being done to the economy
as a whole? What about the sequester’s injuries to those who face lower unemployment benefits, who need Meals on Wheels,
or who attend Head Start programs?
Instead, we should be using this period
of low interest rates to invest in our infrastructure. This would help relieve current
unemployment while laying a foundation
for long-term growth. But anti-government
slogans trump smart-government policies.
For reasons rooted in both ideology and the
system’s bias against the less privileged, we
hear nothing but “deficits, deficits, deficits”
and “cuts, cuts, cuts.”
To paraphrase a French statesman from
long ago, this is worse than a crime. This
is a mistake. Its costs are being borne by
good people who ask only for the chance
to do productive work.

Famous N.H. symbol remembered
Old Man granite rock formation collapsed 10 years ago
old the Old Man of the Mountain
was before it fell, several groups of
surveyors working in the Franconia
Notch area took credit for discovering it in 1805. It quickly became
a popular tourist attraction and
inspired many works of art and
literature. Statesman Daniel Webster compared it to the signs hung
outside shops to indicate specific
trades: “Shoe makers hang out a
gigantic shoe; jewelers a monster
watch, and the dentist hangs out a
gold tooth; but up in the Mountains
of New Hampshire, God Almighty
has hung out a sign to show that
there he makes men.”
Edward Geddes, who returned
to the mountain in 1937 amid rumors that the Old Man was about
to topple, offered a slight tweak to
that quotation after his measurements showed the rocks had not
moved even a sixteenth of an inch
in 21 years.
“I came to the conclusion that the
words of Daniel Webster should
be extended to read that once in
a while New Hampshire as well as
producing men produces a few ‘liars,’” he said, according to an article
published in the Quincy Patriot
Ledger at the time.
Although Geddes was followed
by other equally devoted caretakers who protected and patched up
the Old Man in later years, Mother
Nature had the last word.
Soon after the profile’s 2003 tumble, a nonprofit volunteer group be-
in 1945, and it still appears on
the state quarter, highway signs,
license plates and countless souvenirs.
A decade after the Old Man’s
demise, the famed stone profile is
little more than a historical footnote to the state’s youngest residents. But it remains a beloved
family member to others, including the descendants of Geddes, a
granite quarry superintendent from
Quincy, Mass., who performed the
first repair work on the Old Man
nearly a century ago.
BY HOLLY RAMER
CONCORD, N.H. — Edward
Geddes already had spent two
long days on the mountain when
the weather turned. Battered by
wind and soaked by rain — “like
shower baths of ice water” — he
clung to a rope and pressed on,
even after the rain turned to ice
that coated his clothing and left
two of his fingers crooked for the
rest of his life.
It was 1916, and the crew assigned to help Geddes rescue
New Hampshire’s Old Man of
the Mountain had given up. But
Geddes continued the work alone,
drilling 11-inch holes into the
granite and installing turnbuckles and rods to hold the ledges
in place.
“When the men Col. Greenleaf
had hired to help me all deserted,
I did not intend to be beaten. I
leave it to you to judge whether I
had time to play or not,” he wrote
when the work was complete.
Thanks to Geddes’ efforts and
those of others who followed, the
40-foot-tall natural rock formation that resembled an old man’s
face remained suspended 1,200
feet above Franconia Notch until May 3, 2003, when it smashed
to the ground. Over the years, it
became the state’s most recognizable symbol — the Legislature
adopted it as the state emblem
FAMILY CONNECTION
Ronald Geddes, 71, was a toddler
when the man he knew as Uncle Ed
died in 1944. But his father — Edward Geddes’ nephew — was close
to him, and Ronald Geddes grew
up hearing about his connection to
the Old Man.
“He was very focused, very wiry,
and he was fearless,” Geddes said
of his great uncle. “He suffered, and
he prevailed.”
Geddes, who lives in Boston,
visited the Old Man many times
growing up and as an adult. And
while his first thought was always
how proud he was that “someone
in our family actually did that,” he
also understood what drew countless others to the site.
“It became a symbol of something. It had a magical, spiritual
quality,” he said.

Candidate says quitting

BY KATHLEEN MOORE
Gazette Reporter
W
hen I first started out
in this business, I was
the kid and all my older
colleagues took a proprietary
interest in how I would turn out.
It was like having several sets of
parents and, if I didn’t appreciate
them then, I certainly do today.
The newsroom where we
produced the daily was always
slightly hazy from cigar smoke.
Old guys wore green eye shades
and sleeve holders and wielded
scissors big enough to lob off a
human head with one big snip.
Bottom desk drawers often held
“dead soldiers” — empty beer
bottles — and there were always
short-cuts to a nearby watering
hole where some drank their
lunch.
Do you remember those days?
What’s your memories of the
newspaper editor in your hometown?
Perhaps he or she was a craggy,
unsentimental and cynical loner
who might have kept a flask in a
vest pocket and didn’t pay much
attention to fashion and personal
appearance.
I can assure you there was
a time when that was a fair
description of the ink-stained
and grizzled wretches. But it was
always stereotype. Editors feel,
bleed, love and shed tears, regret
and rejoice, celebrate and mourn
— just as you and I do.
I’ve written many thousands
of stories over a long career but I
worry that the most important to
me — the story of us — will elude
me. I worry that I will run out
of time before I can tell you the
unlikely tale of an “upper middle
aged” couple who fall in love in
Schenectady’s Historic Stockade
neighborhood and live happily
ever after. “Ever after,” of course,
can mean anything — a week, a
month, years.
I don’t know my expiration
date. But I know I need to write
our story as soon as possible.
Time is not on my side.
My first enduring memory
of Beverly was of her dazzling
smile as we introduced ourselves
on her front stoop. It still melts
my heart. Who is this beautiful
creature? I asked myself. She lives
next door to me? How could that
be?
I was moving into an apartment with my college-aged son.
It was a sunny day in mid-December.
She appeared on her front
porch, annoyed because he had
parked his pickup truck in her
alleyway. I was behind her on
our own front porch carrying in
a box of knives. She later told me
she sized me up as either a serial
killer or someone who cooks.
“Are you going to be blocking
my driveway for long?” she asked
my son. I intervened from behind
her. “We’ll only be a few minutes,” I said in what I hoped was
my most charming voice. I thrust
my hand out and introduced
myself. She was quizzical at first
— she later said she recognized
my name but didn’t know why
— but then gave me that dazzling smile. “Take your time,”
she told us. She disappeared into
the house and we continued our
unloading.
It was a few days later when
I encountered her again. She
probably didn’t know this, but
she was frequently on my mind. I
was standing on the porch when
a couple of women emerged
from Beverly’s house and got into

Teens to homebuyers: City schools shine
BY KELLY DE LA ROCHA
Gazette Reporter
He’s only 16, but Travis Ghirdharie seemed wise beyond his years
when he spoke of his experience at
Schenectady High School at Sunday’s Key to the City program.
He was one of several students
who were at the high school to tell
their stories as part of an effort to
entice more people to buy homes
in the city by showcasing the opportunities that exist there.
All of the students said their experience at the high school has been
a positive one, despite the bad reputation often associated with it.
“In reality, high school is what you
make of it,” Ghirdharie said. “Anywhere that you go, there are going to
be good people and bad people.”
The tall young man, who has a
bright smile, skipped a grade and is
now a high school senior with a full
scholarship to Cornell University.
He plans to study economics there
in the fall.
Ghirdharie said he’s ready to go to
college. “I feel like I’m going to have
some learning to do, obviously, but
I feel like I’ve been prepared with
the workload that I’ve had here, especially with the diversity and the
size, because we’re a very large-
sized school; we’re larger than
some universities too,” he said.
Senior Oriana Miles wasted no
time beating around the bush about
her feelings for her soon-to-be alma
mater.
“I love it here. I’m just going
to tell you that right up,” she announced. “I love being here in
Schenectady and my favorite part
about being in Schenectady is the
Schenectady School District. It really is amazing. I’m not lying to you.
They’re not paying me,” she said,
eliciting chuckles from the group
of spectators, which included local real estate agents, community
leaders and business people.
The confident 17-year-old, who
plays on the high school soccer
team, has heard her share of trashtalk about her school.
“We, of course, meet other teams
from other schools and there’s always that, ‘Oh my gosh, have you
seen a fight? Are you involved in a
gang?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, I got stabbed
five times this week,’ ” she joked,
and then grew serious. “I’ve lived
here my whole life and have not
seen that many fights as you would
expect, and they’ve been not as
dangerous as they say.”
Miles, who will attend New York
University in the fall, said she’s had
‘We ... meet other
teams from other
schools and there’s
always that, “Oh
my gosh, have you
seen a fight? Are you
involved in a gang?” ’
‘In reality, high school
is what you make of
it. Anywhere that you
go, there are going to
be good people and
bad people.’

many more good experiences than
bad at Schenectady High School.
“It’s this amazing place where
they teach you it’s OK to be different; it’s OK, no matter your religion or your ethnicity; it’s OK to be
here. And I think it also gives you
the sense of what the real world
is like, because the real world isn’t
this group of people and that group
of people. It’s all mixed in together
and I think that’s what makes it so
great here.”
Schenectady High School is
small compared to the school 18year-old Akeem Celestine went to
in Brooklyn before moving upstate
when he was 10.
He said he likes his high school’s
community, the diversity and the
opportunities he’s had there.
“Getting to know my teachers
and stuff like that really did bring
out my inner self and I love it here,”
he said.
He listed his activities at school,
including the Blue Roses Theatre
Company, the dance department and
the student ambassador program.
“I do everything; I’m everywhere,” Celestine said, grinning.
Lua Arcos is working to fight ignorance for her senior project. To
that end, she’s organized a Festival
of the Arts, which will be held from
2 to 6 p.m. June 8 at the high school.
The event will include artistic performances and displays by students
of all different backgrounds.
A transplant from Florida, Arcos said she has enjoyed going to
school with classmates of different
ethnicities.
“Diversity is even more beautiful
when you are actually immersed
into it,” she said.
Jeff Leavitt, a senior who will attend the University of Rochester in
the fall, said he finds the students
at Schenectady High School to be
more accepting of people from different cultures and races.
“We’ve all seen it. It’s fine. We’re
not different people. We’re all just
humans,” he said.
Mayor Gary McCarthy said
Sunday’s event was part of an ongoing effort by the city to answer
questions, reverse incorrect perceptions and get the message out
that “Schenectady is a community
of value; that we’re growing and
there is opportunity here.”

Pauly D concert eyed for Maple Ridge
BY JUSTIN MASON
Gazette Reporter
From the Jersey Shore to the
slopes of the Maple Ski Ridge,
Pauly D is ready to kick it in Rotterdam this summer.
The reality television star and
popular disc jockey is on tap to spin
a show at the small ski area on June
21. The all-day event, expected to
draw up to 3,000 people, will feature Paul “DJ Pauly D” DelVecchio and other mix masters from
around the country, according to
paperwork filed with the town’s
Department of Public Works earlier this month.
The event is being organized by
Loyalty Entertainment, a promotion company that put on a 2008
concert in Albany that featured rap
stars 50 Cent and LL Cool J. The

company suggested the concert in
Rotterdam could help benefit a local organization, such as the Boys
& Girls Club or the town’s youth
soccer league.
But there’s a catch. Town officials weren’t satisfied with the information provided by Loyalty and
refused to schedule the necessary
public hearing the company would
need to secure a mass-gathering
permit through the town.
DelVecchio was initially slated
to perform at the Washington
Avenue Armory in Albany earlier
this month. But the event was postponed several days before it was
scheduled after the city decided
raves and dance parties hosted by
the venue violated zoning regulations.
“Pauly D and Loyalty entertainment have made the decision to
keep the fans fist pumping at a later
date to ensure a full experience at a
later date,” the company posted on
its Facebook page. “Since the City
shutdown, all promotional outlets
were ceased, due to the uncertain-

ty of whether or not the Armory
would be able to host concerts.”
In Rotterdam, board members
shot down a resolution calling
for a public hearing by a 4-1 vote
Wednesday. Robert Godlewski was
the only board member to vote in
favor of the hearing.
Loyalty submitted a two-page
description detailing the event. It
included the number of security,
the number of ambulances and
when the ski area would be cleared
of crowds, among other details.
LACKING DETAILS
Deputy Supervisor Wayne
Calder said the rejection was simply a formality because Paul Pagan,
a principal with Loyalty, didn’t submit enough details about the event
to satisfy members of the Town
Board. He said the company simply
needs to complete the proper paperwork so that the town has assurance the event will go smoothly.
“Once they do it right, they’re
covered and we’re also covered,”
he said.
Other board members were skeptical about the type of event being
planned for Maple. Nicola DiLeva
said she remains unconvinced that
the teenage and young adult fans
attending the event will be safe.
“Before we put it on, I want to
make sure that Rotterdam wants
this,” she said. “And I’m not sure
that this is something we want.”
Godlewski said he supported
a hearing on the permit because
he wants to gauge the public’s
response. He said denying the
company a hearing on the basis of
paperwork or preconceived notions about the event sets a bad
precedent for the town.
“It sends the wrong message,”
he said.
Paul Pagan, a promoter with Loyalty, said he completed the documentations prescribed by the town
and is hoping now the event will
get due consideration. He’s hoping
the added information will allay
any concerns about the event.
“I’m not looking to have a rave,”
he said Friday. “I’m just trying to
put on a music concert at a private
property.”
Maple has hosted concerts in
the past, including some that have
drawn significant crowds in excess
of 1,000 people. Spokeswoman Kate
Michener said the ski area will do
everything necessary to make sure
the concerns of the town are properly addressed.
“We are doing everything that
the town is asking us to do to make
this happen,” she said.
Justin Mason at 395-3113 or
jmason@dailygazette.net.
Sending letters to landlords has
not led to a deluge of owners signing up for property inspections.
It’s been more like a trickle.
Out of the first 100 letters, 20
percent of the landlords have
agreed to let city inspectors look
at their rental property. The other
80 percent have ignored the letters
altogether.
On Wednesday, they’ll be sent
a ticket with fines for each apartment that they have rented without
a rental inspection.
Building Inspector Eric Shilling is hoping the tickets will persuade more landlords to open their
doors.
“We’ll see if those are motivational,” he said.
If that doesn’t work, he will go to
court to ask for search warrants.
He is determined to inspect every
occupied apartment in the city.
“That’s our obligation,” he said.
“This cannot be ignored. There is
life safety at risk here.”
He could also enact a stiffer penalty: issuing an order to vacate the
rental building.
If he can’t inspect the apartments,
he said, he could take that route.
“We’d have to consider the apartment unsafe, and at that point any
occupation is illegal and we’d have
to vacate the building,” he said.
“Then they lose everything.”
He’s urging landlords to just let
him inspect instead. The inspections cost $50.
“Is that [order to vacate] worth
$50? That’s what they’re weighing,
I guess,” he said.
Landlord Mohammed Hafez was
stunned to hear that Shilling was
willing to go to such lengths.
“I don’t know why they’re going through all this,” he said. “Why
can’t they just take care of the outside?”
He said the inspections were
intended simply to collect
‘I don’t know why
they’re going through
all this. Why can’t
they just take care of
the outside?’

money for the cash-strapped city.
He decried it as harassment.
“We don’t pose any serious or
immediate threat to the tenants,” he
said. “Because if we do, they would
call the city. They would call and
complain.”
FIRE CONCERNS
Building inspectors disagreed,
citing the number of fires in the
city. They said inspections could
ensure that wiring systems were
safe and that the buildings were
structurally sound.
They said that was particularly
important with Schenectady’s old
housing stock.
Shilling emphasized that landlords who agree will not be penalized for ignoring the inspection law
until now.
“We gave everybody the opportunity, at no penalty, to go ahead
and do this,” he said.
Landlords will only be ticketed if
they do not schedule an inspection
within 30 days of receiving their
letter.
Inspectors started the enforcement effort by researching owners
of property on Union Street; next
month, another 200 owners will be
notified by letter that they must get
their properties inspected.

BALLSTON SPA
$79M budget up for vote
Voters in the Ballston Spa Central School District will vote May
21 on a $79.6 million budget plan for
next year that is expected to keep
the tax rate about the same.
The district Board of Education last week approved the 201314 spending plan, which carries a
1.5 percent tax levy increase but
no expected average tax rate increase. Officials won’t know the
exact tax rate for each town until
August, when the state sets equalization rates, the estimate of how
much properties in the town are
really worth compared with their
assessed value.
The proposed budget represents
a 4.2 percent spending increase
compared with this year.
Two candidates for school board
will appear on the ballot for two
seats. Dan Cramer and Susan Fil-
burn are running for three-year
terms.
Cramer is an incumbent and has
served on the board since 2009.
Filburn is not on the board but has
served on the Ballston Spa Education Foundation board, a not-forprofit organization that raises funds
for the district.
High school government classes
will host a “Meet The Candidates
Night” at 6:30 p.m. today in the
Ballston Spa High School library.
Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 9
p.m. May 21. Residents vote in Malta Town Hall if they live in Malta
or at the Ballston Spa High School
if they live in Milton, Ballston or
Charlton.
REGIONAL
Casola
Continued from page B1
Everything’s always happening at
once, you have to keep moving.”
On Wednesday, 21 chefs and
servers worked the last supper
hours of the semester at SCCC’s
elegant Casola Dining Room.
Students, with guidance from culinary professors David Brough and
Robert Payne, have been working
nights since fall. With books closing
soon — and students finishing dining room management and classical
cuisine classes — the room will be
closed until late September.
On Wednesday, 59 people were
on the guest list for the candlelight
ambience of the Casola. Nine students in white shirts and black vests,
slacks, aprons and ties worked the
front of the house and checked coats,
took orders and answered questions
about the Southeast Asia menu. Holub, Kea and 10 other students in chef
whites and checkered pants worked
the back of the house.
Some diners come for the great
price. Each dinner is $22, including
tax. No tips are accepted. Guests
can bring their own wine, although
they must pay a $3 corkage fee to
fill their glasses.
Payne said some students can
be shy about leaving the back of
the house and working the front of
the house. “All of a sudden they’re
like, ‘Chef, we really enjoy this,’”
Payne said. “A lot of times, they
end up switching from the back of
the house to the front of the house.
There’s much more interaction
with the guests.”
FUN EVENING
For some guests, talking with students is one reason Casola nights
are so much fun.
“We’re regulars,” said Judy
Kapila, 63, of Troy, seated with her
husband Ash and their friends and
fellow Troy residents Pat and Martin Monahan. “We love Chef Payne;
we love interacting with the kids.
We like to see their progress during
the semester. We sometimes have
to offer little tips, little things like
opening a bottle of wine and serving women first. And since we’re
so friendly, the kids love it. They
don’t take offense by it.”
Martin Monahan has enjoyed
some of the stories the students
have told — like one waiter who
once worked as a plumber and now
plans to open his own restaurant.
Other people like the food. “The
menus are more varied than in many
dining rooms, because not every
dining room will have Vietnamese
food,” said Grace Meuller of Scotia, who ordered Vietnamese spring
rolls with her friend Gail Rheingold
of Albany. “It changes from week
to week, and it’s nice to see young
people learn their trades.”
Brough, who is also dean of the
college’s school of hotel, culinary
arts and tourism, said students have
to study before they make Casola
dinner night team. The course is
open to second-year students.
“We feel really good about how
we do the first-year courses,”
Brough said. “So they’re ready
when they get here. When they
come here, they have the basic
skills. Here, we try to teach them
about the cuisines.”
These students, Brough added,
are already working in restaurants.
They must log 600 hours on the job
in a professional operation before
graduation.

FAST-PACED WORK
happy to be on the quick step. “
I work well under pressure,” she
said. “I like to keep moving and
grooving.”
“It’s very fast paced,” added
Blanca Perez, 20, of Schenectady, as
she placed Indonesian pork satays
on a grill and brushed them with
a butter-garlic-soy sauce mixture.
“It’s good experience. A lot of kids
don’t get to work with the food we
get to work with.”
Alexis Arnold, 20, of Niskayuna,
stayed busy at the front of the
house. She likes meeting people,
and expects to meet more during
planned careers as a catering chef
and winery owner.
“I love it, I have fun,” she said of
her collegiate studies. “I come to
school and have fun. Not a lot of
people can say that.”
While no tips are accepted after
meals, Ann Ten Eyck of Troy found
a way to beat the rule. She entered
the Casola with two colorfully
wrapped plates full of brownies for
her favorite chefs and servers.
“They’re good kids, and they’ve
done a wonderful job,” she said.
Young chefs are glad to have the
experience. Meagan Collett, 19, of
Watervliet worked the appetizer
station on Wednesday, and was

Cupcakes
Board
p.m., a huge screen was erected in
the Clifton Park Mall to project the
show to about 1,200 fans.
Allen, a morning show host on
104.9 The Cat, was brought in to entertain the masses for an hour before
the show, along with a disc jockey.
The result was a mob of Shenendehowa cheerleaders dancing.
The real party catalyst however,
was not the DJ or the dancing or
waiting to see a local baker on TV. It
was the cupcakes. Rachel herself ran
up on stage with a microphone.
“Behind that curtain there are
3,000 cupcakes!” She said, pointing to a corner of the food court
corralled by walls of black cloth,
“and everybody gets one.”
She scanned the roaring crowd,
estimating numbers.
“Everyone gets two cupcakes!”
she said to an even louder cheer.
In the course of filming “Cupcake
Wars,” Rachel said she and her team
created 1,000 cupcakes in only one
hour. Each week on the show, four
nationally renowned cupcake makers
competed in three elimination rounds
for a grand prize of $10,000. When she
last competed in 2011, she lost out in the
first round. This time her employees
from Clifton Park expected better.
“She knew what to expect going
in,” said Makenna Smith.
While Rachel was off crafting 1,000
competition cakes, Smith had to make
the 3,000 cupcakes for local fans.
“We had a schedule laid out over
a month,” she said. “We made six
trays of 72 every day.”
While engineers attempted to link
video from Albany, Myrtle Beach
and the mall itself, people crammed
in around the hidden cupcakes.
“Don’t let my kids dance into the
cupcakes,” said Kristen Getter.
She and her two daughters were
some of the closest to the black
curtain. The DJ’s up-tempo beats,
mixed with sugary allure, had the
two young girls dancing like mad.
The crowd waited, fidgeting as one,
but Getter said it was worth it.
“You have to try the OMG,” she
said. “It’s chocolate, Oreo and peanut butter.”
In fact, she said the OMG was
so good, it would certainly carry
Rachel to Food Network victory.
Finally as the show flicked
onto the screen the black curtains
dropped. The crowd rushed forward, gripped cupcakes raised high
as the first few waded free.
In a clear section of food court
Getter bit into a cupcake. It wasn’t
the famed OMG, just a peanut butter
cup, but still very good, she said.
Rachel didn’t win, the $10,000 slipping past Coccadotts for the second
time. According to a spokeswoman,
she made it to the final round with
good feedback from the judges.
are skipping.
His theory is that walkers skip
far more often than students who
are bused.
“With the rain and the snow and
the inclement weather, and they’re
walking by themselves,” he said.
“Can we pick up those kids? We
can’t do it district-wide but can we
do it in elementary?”
Kosiur is one of three candidates
running for three seats on the board.
So far, the race is uncontested, but candidates can still submit petitions until
Wednesday. The election is May 21.
Kosiur is running with school
board President Cathy Lewis and
Vice President Ann Reilly.
Lewis has led the board for three
years, since she was first elected in
an effort to oust the previous board
and its superintendent.
Reilly was also elected as part
of that effort, and the two helped
usher in a new culture of transparency and reform.
The new board paid its superintendent to leave, hired an interim
and ran an open process to select
a new superintendent.
The board also brought in sweeping
changes, from creating a ninth-grade
academy to supporting new ways to
crack down on truant students.
There were controversies, too,
including the closure of Oneida
Middle School last year.
Lewis pushed for ways to do
better for less money, while Reilly
fought to protect the district’s extensive arts program from cuts.
Lewis said she’s pleased with the
board’s efforts to hold the line on
taxes. The tax rate did not change
in 2011-2012, and the lax levy — the
total amount of money gathered —
did not change in 2012-2013. There
is a proposed 1 percent tax increase
this year.
“We’ve been trying to streamline
and become more efficient,” Lewis
said. “I think we’ve been able to do
pretty well with the budget in light
of the difficulties we have.”
Candidates who want to join
the race must gather at least 100
signatures from residents. The signatures must be submitted to the
school clerk, at Mont Pleasant Middle School, by 5 p.m. Wednesday.
Candidates must also be registered voters who have lived in the
district for at least a year.
The top two vote-getters in this
year’s election will win three-year
terms, starting this summer.
The third candidate will take office immediately to fill the remainder of board member Gary Farkas’
term.

JOHN ENGER/GAZETTE REPORTER
Joshua Winer, a visiting artist from Boston, demonstrates proper mosaic stabilization technique to the art students of
Canajoharie High School on Thursday.
Mosaic
Renzi hung out in the art room
with a few other students Thursday morning, putting finishing
touches on a 7-by-7-foot mosaic
depicting the Mohawk creation
story.
The turtle he referred to was
actually a giant sea turtle that Mohawk legend says came up from
the depths at earth’s dawn, forming North America on a globe of
water. It fills the center of the expansive art piece, and has a tree
growing out of its back. The tree
has four long white roots representing the four directions of the
compass and stands as a symbol
of a treaty between native tribes
— another section of Mohawk
history that was new to Alex.
It’s a very colorful collage of
small glass shards, all turning
swirls around the great turtle, its
tree and a few Mohawk Indians.
At the top is inscribed the word
“Kanatsiohareke,” the native’s
original name for the village. It’s
pronounced Ga-na-jo-ha-lay-gay,
which might explain why when
whites came along, the name was
he meant by that.
We had one margarita. Then
she left for a week or so with her
friends for a vacation in Cabo San
Lucas in the Mexican Baja peninsula. I can’t remember how but I
managed to get her email address
and, though she was on vacation,
a flurry of electronic messages
flew back and forth between here
and Mexico.
Her friends — Gail and Anne
— assured her this new guy was
interested in her but she was having none of it.
They were right, however. A
couple of months later found us
getting closer every day, with a
lot of romancing over the fence
between our backyards. I remember our first real kiss.
She enjoyed the idea of the
newspaper’s city editor bringing
in the paper when she invited
him for morning coffee.
At some point, we became a
couple — the science teacher and
the journalist — and we found
there was quite an audience out
there for a geriatric love story.
Who knew?
I wrote about a Friday night in
‘I asked the students what Kanatsiohareke
meant to them. None of them had a
clue.’
KATHY VANLOAN
Art teacher
simplified down to Canajoharie.
“Our version is actually wrong,”
VanLoan said.
The art departments of Canajoharie middle and high school,
with help from the New York
State Council on the Arts, have
worked together on large-scale
art projects for years now.
Last year, scores of students
painted a mural on a wall outside the art room detailing more
recent village history.
This year, the Kanatsiohareke
Mohawk Community caught
VanLoan’s eye as she drove east
from the village on Route 5.
“I asked the students what
Kanatsiohareke meant to them,”
she said. “None of them had a
clue.”
Oddly though, once she described some native etymology
the hard-to-pronounce name became more familiar. Translated,
it means “the place of the pot that
the Stockade during the Christmas season where there’s always
a party.
“The snow was falling softly as
we cut across the First Presbyterian Church parking lot, in and
out of the shadows of an ancient
brick portico, on our way to the
Van Dyck, the storied jazz club.
“The lyrics to a Dan Fogelberg
song kept playing in my head.
‘Met my old lover at the grocery
store … the snow was falling
Christmas eve …’ ”
The column prompted an immediate response from a friend in
Georgetown. I denied there was
anything going on, but they were
right not to believe me.
Months later, our mutual
friends were not surprised when
we told them we were getting
married. “It was never a question
of ‘if,’ ” they said. “It was a question of ‘when.’ ”
We slipped into a comfortable, easy relationship and came
to realize that, though we had
never met, we knew each other
quite well, having lived in parallel
universes for a long time. Our
friends, I’m convinced, believe
cleans itself” after the whirlpool
carved out of rock along Canajoharie Creek.
“I only live a few miles away
from that spot,” Renzi said.
The mosaic’s design is the result of a sometimes-tense partnership between VanLoan, Kay Olan
of the Kanatsiohareke Mohawk
Community and visiting Boston
artist Joshua Winer.
On Thursday the piece was
nearly done and Winer arrived
to help students bed it in grout.
“I kept hearing back that little
things were wrong and needed
to be changed,” he said, pointing
out various spots on his design
sketch.
Two Mohawk Indians stand to
the right of the peace tree. Originally he got the tilt of their hair
feathers a few degrees wrong,
and the color of their cloths a
few shades off. Olan caught the
mistakes.
we had been secretly dating for
years.
We try not to waste precious
time. We know we don’t have 40
years ahead of us.
One friend thinks that we knew
each other in a past life but never
managed to connect.
It’s as good a theory as any I’ve
heard.
Eventually everything was
right. Through the process, VanLoan said her students learned a
lot about both art and history.
She pointed out Joe Toomey,
a lanky ball cap-wearing senior
messing with tiny scraps of glass
as class bells rang.
“He’s our glass-cutting expert,”
she said. “He did the complicated
places.”
“I guess,” he said.
Even with the complex loops
and curves of the water and
delicate palm-sized faces of the
natives, the whole thing only
took about two weeks to lay out,
thanks to the big workforce.
In all, more than 160 students
from the Canajoharie school district and the youth center worked
on the project. By Tuesday it will
be framed on a wall of the high
school’s art wing. There will be a
reception celebrating the mosaic’s
completion May 21.

REGIONAL
GREENFIELD
Water line
to ice cream
plant studied
Stewart’s offers to front $600K cost
BY STEPHEN WILLIAMS
Gazette Reporter
Stewart’s Shops and the town of
Greenfield are talking to the Saratoga County Water Authority about
supplying water to the Stewart’s ice
cream plant on Route 9N.
Negotiations have only recently
started, but all parties agree that
they would benefit if public water
were brought to Stewart’s and other
locations in the southwest corner
of Greenfield.
“We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to work with a Saratoga
icon like Stewart’s,” said Water Authority Chairman John E. Lawler,
R-Waterford.
Stewart’s President Gary Dake
said the company is willing to
front the estimated $600,000 cost
of running a water main from the
authority’s line near the Saratoga
rail yard to the Stewart’s plant just
over a mile away, where 375 people
work.
Other potential customers are
the approved but unbuilt Saratoga
Polo Retreat project at Denton and
Bloomfield roads, and the Prestwick
Chase senior housing complex,
which is looking to expand.
The town would need to form
a municipal water district to buy
water from the authority, and the
district would then resell it to customers like Stewart’s.
“There’s opportunities in that
area for growth,” said Greenfield
Town Supervisor Richard Rowland.
Dake said the plant that makes
ice cream and other products for
the 324-shop convenience store
chain uses about 110,000 gallons
of water a day. The water is used
to make the company’s beverages
and also for washing and cleaning
equipment.
The plant relies on groundwater wells. The plant’s water use has
been growing, leading to the drilling of more wells. “We’re putting
more straws into the same glass,
and it’s becoming more of a problem,” Dake said.
The plant already has municipal
sewer service.
The Saratoga Polo Retreat was
given Greenfield town zoning approvals in 2007 for an $85 million
project that would include a conference center, banquet hall, spa facilities and luxury apartments. Because
of the cost, the partners are now
looking to build in several phases
rather than all at once, said Michael
Bucci, one of the partners.
If it were fully built, he said the
polo retreat would use about 55,000
gallons per day. He said there’s well
water on site, but the state Health
Department would prefer a municipal source.
Town officials think there’s other
growth potential in the area, which
is just outside Saratoga Springs, and
homes along the route.
While the amount of water involved in a Greenfield district isn’t
large by the authority’s standards,
Lawler said: “We’ll take the longterm view. We’ll find a way to make
this work.”
The authority, which draws its
water from the Hudson River in
Moreau, has been in operation since
2010. It currently sells between 3
million and 4 millions gallons per
day, to customers that include the
towns of Wilton, Ballston, Clifton
Park and the village of Stillwater.
Its biggest customer is the GlobalFoundries computer chip plant in
Malta, which is currently using
about 1.7 million gallons per day.
The authority is also in the early
stages of talks with GlobalFoundries about providing enough water
for a second chip fabrication plant
at the company’s Fab 8 complex
in the Luther Forest Technology
Campus.

Blossoms star at benefit race, walk
Funds raised go to MDA/ALS Clinic
BY KELLY DE LA ROCHA
Gazette Reporter
They came to run or walk, but
many participants in Sunday’s
Cherry Blossom 5K Race and 2K
Wellness Walk for ALS couldn’t
help but first linger among the
cherry trees that bejewel the lawn
at Congregation Gates of Heaven.
A large crowd of athletes and
spectators milled around the synagogue Sunday morning, taking in
the spring sights and inhaling the
aroma of barbecued chicken, which
was being grilled over hot coals in
the parking lot.
The Cherry Blossom race, now
in its fifth year, is held in memory of
Lewis Golub, a Congregation Gates
of Heaven member who suffered
with ALS, a progressive, degenerative nerve disease.
Proceeds from the event benefit
St. Peter’s Health Partners’ ALS Regional Center/Lewis Golub MDA/
ALS Clinic.
Lauren Cosamano, 34, of Scotia,
was running in honor of her father,
Scott VanBuskirk, who has had ALS
for 16 years. She and her team of
three friends had blue shirts made
for the event that said, “All the ladies love Scott” on the back.
“We surprised him today with
our shirts. He thought he was just
coming for a regular race,” said
Cosamano, whose father was there
to cheer on the team.
Janet Brownewell of Niskayuna
wore red felt hearts pinned to her
black fleece jacket.
“In memory of Ed,” one said. “We
miss you, Ed,” read the other.
Brownewell, who was participating in the wellness walk, spoke
of her deceased friend with a sad
smile.
“He was diagnosed at 39 and
he died two years later. His mind
was really sharp all the way till the
end, so he knew, every step of his
decline, he knew exactly what was
going on.”
Sunday’s walk drew about 100
participants and the run, about 400
— an all-time record, according to
race director Tim Fecura, who said
attendance had just about tripled
from last year.
He said he was hopeful the event
would raise $7,000 — considerably
more than the $2,500 it raised last
year.
The funds will help support programs at the ALS Clinic.
“Most of our patients, their services are provided free of charge
or at very little cost,” noted Melissa Morrison, an employee at the
clinic.
Runner Chris Cueman of
Niskayuna was rivaling the cher-
ry blossoms for showiness in his
flashy silver running shorts, reserved exclusively for races.
“That’s the only time I wear them
because I wouldn’t be allowed out
of the house otherwise,” the 38year-old joked.
He was happy to be out running
on a warm, sunny day.
“You get out and see your neighbors and everyone who you haven’t
seen all winter, and it’s like everyone comes out of hibernation,” he
said.
Rob Curto, 32, of Niskayuna, said
he was there to try to run off the
20 pounds of sympathy weight he
gained when his wife was pregnant.
“It helps, running for a cause every weekend,” he said. “It gets you
out of bed on the weekend.”

2 cars collide, hit
church building
in Rotterdam
ROTTERDAM — A rollover
accident in Rotterdam put three
people in the hospital and a hole
in a church wall early Sunday
morning.
According to Rotterdam Police,
shortly after 3:30 a.m. two cars collided while traveling in the area of
Draper and Guilderland Avenue.
Authorities could not provide
details Sunday night, but early reports have a Honda minivan colliding with a Chevrolet Camaro
and rolling into Bellevue Gospel
Chapel.
The two occupants of the minivan were take to Albany Medical
Center. One person was taken to
Ellis Hospital. None of the injuries
appeared to be life-threatening.
A Bellevue church member said
the vehicles clipped the church sign
and put a hole in the brick entrance
way. The accident will not impact
future services, though the sign will
have to be propped up.
Man accused of
taking card for fuel
BALLSTON — A 42-year-old
man was arrested Wednesday after
being accused of stealing a credit
card, which police say he used to
buy diesel fuel for his personal
use.
According to the Saratoga County Sheriff’s Office, Mark R. Dodge,
of 5179 County Route 14, Chase
Mills, stole the credit card from a
company fleet vehicle belonging to
a business with offices in the town
of Ballston.
The theft was reported in late
March.
Dodge allegedly used the credit
card to pay for close to 97 gallons
of diesel fuel on March 27.
He was charged with fourth-degree grand larceny and is scheduled to appear in the Ballston Town
Court.
5-year-old boy dies
in river drowning
WATERTOWN — A 5-year-old
boy is dead and a man who tried to
save him from drowning is missing.
Watertown police say the child
fell into the Black River on Saturday
evening while fishing. A 47-year-old
man described as a family friend
jumped in to save him. The boy’s
body was found at a hydroelectric
dam downriver hours later.
Searchers continued to look for
the man’s body through the day on
Sunday.
Spring turkey hunt
to begin this week
ALBANY — The spring turkey
hunting season is set to begin this
week in New York.
State conservation authorities
say the birds will be fair game everywhere but in New York City and
Long Island starting on Wednesday
and running until May 31.
An estimated 100,000 hunters
participate each spring.
Hunting hours are from 30 minutes before sunrise until noon. The
take is limited to two bearded turkeys for the season and only one
per day.
Coburg Village, the upscale senior living community at Grooms
and Vischer Ferry roads, has completed a nearly $19 million expansion, increasing its total living units
to 287.
“We found several years ago
that we had a waiting list because
our reputation was so good,” said
Kathryn Welden-Pinney, executive
director of the independent living
community.
This was why Lutheran Care
Network, the nonprofit organization with 13 senior living facilities in
New York state, applied for a zoning change so that an additional 78
units could be built at its location
in the Rexford area of Clifton Park.
The town approved the project in
2010 and now the units are ready

A ministry of The Lutheran Care
Network, Coburg Village is a notfor-profit organization committed
to providing high-quality, nondenominational residential services
and related programs for older
adults.
“We rented 50 of the 78 units
right away,” said Welden-Pinney.
The new units are larger than
the apartments in the first phase
of the community. The new units
have open kitchens and breakfast
bars as well as screened-in porches
and balconies.
Coburg Village also expanded
its community areas with a Parisian-style bistro offering tableside

The Coburg Village expansion is seen earlier this month.
warmer weather. The expansion
also includes a larger fitness center,
a theater for musical performances,
a specially designed art studio and
an expanded chapel.
The Coburg management is currently offering the apartments and
those who reserve an apartment in
the near future can participate in
the furnishing and decorating of
the rooms to their tastes, according to the Coburg Village website
(www.coburgvillage.com). Tours
of the new areas started earlier
this month.
When the town of Clifton Park
approved the expansion project, it
requested that the developers stabilize and renovate a vacant old
tavern building near the corner of
Grooms and Vischer Ferry roads.
Town officials said the facade
of the early-to-mid 1800s building
has been renovated as requested.
Welden-Pinney said the structure
had two sections, one more recent
than the other.
She said the facade of the older
structure has been renovated. The
interior of the building has not been
upgraded because Coburg Village
does not yet have a purpose for the
building, she said.
LeCesse Construction, with
headquarters in Monroe County,
was the general contractor for the
expansion.
More than 200 construction
workers were occupied at the site
during construction.
Lutheran Care Services, which
is associated with the Evangelical
Lutheran Church in America, operates senior care housing complexes,
nursing homes, assisted living and
home-care services in New York
City, Long Island, Poughkeepsie,
and the Capital Region.
The nonprofit corporation’s
administrative offices are in New

CLIFTON PARK
Olympian to talk about hero in book chosen for read
An Olympic runner who broke a
world record will speak next month
at the final event of Clifton ParkHalfmoon Public Library’s “Two
Towns — One Book” community
reading program.
Jim Ryun, a world record miler
and silver medalist, will speak
about his experiences and meeting
fellow Olympian Louis Zamperini,
who is the subject of the reading
program’s book, “Unbroken: A
World War II Story of Survival,
Resilience and Redemption” by
Laura Hillenbrand.
Hillenbrand wrote about Zamperini’s survival after being shot
down over the Pacific Ocean in
World War II and drifting at sea
in a life raft with two other men
for 47 days before being captured
by the Japanese and taken as a prisoner of war.
Before the war, Zamperini competed in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin
in the 5,000-meter race.
Ryun will speak at 7 p.m. May 20
in the library community rooms.
At age 19, he set world records
running the mile and half-mile in
1966 and competed in the 1964, 1968
and 1972 summer Olympics.
He won a silver medal in the
1,500-meter race in 1968 in Mexico
City and was considered the outstanding middle-distance runner
of his time.
When Ryun was 19 he also was
named Sports Illustrated Sportsman
of the Year, ABC’s Wide World of
Sports Athlete of the Year; received
the James E. Sullivan Award as the
nation’s top amateur athlete; and
was voted Track & Field News’
Athlete of the Year as the world’s
best track & field athlete.
ESPN.com still rates Ryun as the
No. 1 high school athlete of all time,
beating out people such as Tiger
Woods and LeBron James.
This year is the second for the
Two Towns — One Book program.
Last year’s selection was “The Book
Thief” by Marcus Zusak.
The reading program follows
the template created by other
community reading programs in
the area, and was developed to
bring together residents of the two
communities that share the Clifton
Park-Halfmoon Public Library.

NBA PLAYOFFS
Celtics keep season alive
BY HOWARD ULMAN
ELISE AMENDOLA/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Boston Celtics guard Jason Terry celebrates after scoring
against the New York Knicks during overtime of Game 4 of their
first-round NBA playoff series in Boston Sunday.
BOSTON — Jason Terry’s nose
still hurt. He wasn’t about to let his
pride suffer, as well.
Two days after being smacked
by J.R. Smith’s elbow, the guard
the Boston Celtics count on for
his shooting scored their last
nine points and kept their season
going.
The Celtics beat the Knicks,
97-90, in overtime on Sunday to
avoid a first-round sweep and
force a fifth game in New York on
Wednesday night. Avoiding elim-
ination provided all the motivation
Terry needed.
“It wasn’t really the elbow,” he
said. “It was more [like] this is it.
I mean, the season’s over. You can
leave it all out here tonight and go
home for a long summer, or you can
live to play another day.”
But, he conceded, his nose “still
hurts, right now. As long as I feel
that, I guess I’ll be thinking about
it.”
The NBA suspended Smith for
the game, and the Knicks could
have used his shooting. Carmelo
Anthony scored 36 points and Raymond Felton picked up the slack
with 27, but New York made just
28.9 percent of its shots in the first
half, as Boston took a 54-35 lead.
“J.R. is a big piece of what we do,
but he wasn’t here,” Knicks coach
Mike Woodson said, “so I’m not
using that as an excuse.”
New York had tied the game,
84-84, after trailing by 20 points
early in the third quarter. It was
88-88 before the Celtics regained
control and took the lead for
good on a three-pointer by Terry.
Anthony hit a short jumper, but
Terry connected on a 15-footer
with 50 seconds remaining for a
93-90 lead.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
Howard’s
PH double
sinks Mets
NEW YORK — Ryan Howard took half the day off,
and still ended up tormenting the Mets.
Howard snapped a seventh-inning tie with a pinchhit double, Cole Hamels earned his first win of the
season and the Philadelphia Phillies took advantage of
a crucial error to beat New York, 5-1, on Sunday and
finish a three-game sweep.
Rested by manager Charlie Manuel in the midst
of a hitting tear, Howard got his chance anyway and
drove a two-run double off the center-field fence to
give Philadelphia a 3-1 lead. The big slugger has 23
RBI in his last 13 games against the Mets, including
seven in this series.
“It’s not really an off day. You just don’t start,” Howard said. “Mentally, you do things to keep yourself
loose.”
All-Star catcher Carlos Ruiz went 1-for-4 with a
double in his return to the Phillies from a 25-game
amphetamine suspension. Even on the road, the
popular Ruiz was greeted warmly with a chorus of
“Choooooch,” and one fan held a sign welcoming him
back.
Freddy Galvis homered, Chase Utley had an RBI
single and Hamels (1-3) overcame six walks, which
matched his career high. The left-hander held the Mets
to two hits and struck out eight over six innings in his
fourth consecutive solid outing.
The 2008 World Series MVP was so frustrated with
his command that he screamed into his glove in the
fourth, when he walked the bases loaded before striking out pitcher Jonathon Niese to end the inning.
“I was able to get away with it. But it’s not the best
type of game for me,” Hamels said. “I would much
rather have liked to go deeper in the ballgame.”
Working with his regular batterymate for the first
time this season, Hamels helped Philadelphia to its
first series sweep since last September — also at Citi
Field. The Phillies have won nine of 10 against the rival
Mets since Aug. 30.
New York, which went 3-6 on a homestand against
the Nationals, Dodgers and Phillies, has lost a seasonhigh four straight and nine of 12 overall.
Niese (2-2) allowed one earned run in 62⁄3 innings,
showing no ill effects from the comebacker that hit
him near the right ankle and knocked him out of his
previous start Tuesday.
After Anthony, who shot
10-for-35 for the game, missed
a three-pointer with 21 seconds
to go, Terry was fouled by Steve
Novak and made both free throws.
He added a layup to close out the
game.
But the Celtics still have a huge
deficit in trying to become the first
team to win after trailing a series,
3-0, in the NBA playoffs. The
Knicks are trying to win their first
playoff series in 13 years.
“We have to be confident going
back home,” Anthony said. “We
BY RONALD BLUM

Lyle Overbay of the New York Yankees, right, is greeted by teammate Travis Hafner after hitting
a two-run home run off Toronto Blue Jays pitcher R.A. Dickey in the seventh inning of Sunday’s
game at Yankee Stadium.
NEW YORK — These no-name Yankees are making
a name for themselves.
Brennan Boesch and Lyle Overbay homered on
knuckleballs from R.A. Dickey, and New York rallied
past the Toronto Blue Jays, 3-2, Sunday for a fourgame sweep.
Despite missing injured All-Stars Derek Jeter, Alex
Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira and Curtis Granderson, the
Yankees are 14-5 following a 1-4 start.
“We felt like if we pitched well, we were going
to get big contributions from somebody,” said Phil
Hughes, who pitched well, but remained winless in
five starts.
They just weren’t sure which bodies, following a
run of injuries.
Boesch homered into the first row of the right-field
seats in the second inning. After Toronto took a 2-1 lead
on Adam Lind’s RBI single in the fourth and Maicer
Izturis’ run-scoring double off the base of the rightfield wall in the sixth, the Yankees overcame a deficit
for the fourth straight day.
Overbay hit a two-run homer into the right-field
bullpen in the seventh inning that was caught on the
fly by Yankees reliever David Robertson.
Boesch began the day 1-for-6 against Dickey and
Overbay 1-for-14, with both hits singles.
Overbay has three home runs, one more than his
total last season. He said then-teammate Matt Stairs
changed his mindset on knuckleballers a few years
ago.
“His approach was to just try to pull homers. Ever
since I did that, I started hitting them a lot better,”
Overbay said. “You start trying to feel for it, and it
ends up beating you. It’s just a matter of taking a big,
strong, aggressive hack.”
New York’s batting order included four players
added just before or during spring training: Overbay
at first base, Boesch in right field, Vernon Wells in left
and Travis Hafner at designated hitter — a day after
hitting a three-run homer and go-ahead triple. Other
starters included Jayson Nix at third, Eduardo Nunez
at shortstop and Chris Stewart behind the plate.

SCHOOL SOFTBALL
Facial injuries a major cause for concern
BY BILL PALMER
Gazette Sportswriter
With the ball flying off the bat
at increasingly dangerous speeds,
more pitchers have become unwilling targets as they stand unprotected in the middle of high school
softball infields.
Only lightning-quick reactions —
and a lot of luck — have prevented
more injuries like those suffered by
Caitlin Cooper.
The Columbia High School
senior, one of the top pitchers in
the Suburban Council, was drilled
by a line drive in a recent game at
Guilderland. Cooper’s season is
likely over after surgery to repair
a broken nose and jaw, and damage
to her teeth.
“She had no chance [to protect
herself],” said Columbia coach
Chris Ciccone, who had trouble
relating the incident some 10 days
after it happened. “The ball was on
her that fast.”
Like the overwhelming majority
of pitchers in the area, Cooper was
not wearing a protective mask.
In light of that unfortunate at-bat,
coaches are beginning to preach the
advantage of safety over vanity to
‘I’m a strong advocate of the corner infielders
and pitchers wearing them, and that was
before Caitlin got hit.’
COLUMBIA COACH CHRIS CICCONE
Describing protective masks
their players, particularly pitchers
and corner infielders, who often are
less than 40 feet away from the hitter at the moment the ball is put
into play.
“I think we’re going to see more
of it,” said Duanesburg coach John
Conway, whose primary starting
pitcher, Erika Kenny, is the first
to wear the mask in his 14 years at
the school. “I think they’ve never
been comfortable with them, because they don’t have to wear them.
But with this, and the concern over
concussions, I can see more pitchers going to them.”
Two of Conway’s infielders have
also opted for the protective equipment.
There is no rule that forces players to wear the masks. The only
protective gear, other than catcher’s equipment, that is mandated requires batters, on-deck hitters, base

coaching box to wear a helmet.
“I’m a strong advocate of the corner infielders and pitchers wearing
them, and that was before Caitlin
got hit,” said Ciccone. “Three years
ago, the state sent out an informal
questionnaire, asking if we’d like
to see them made mandatory for
corner infielders and pitchers. I
said yes.
“The clincher for me was this
summer. I saw a girl get seriously
injured.”
“Our kids have never worn them,
but if it makes them feel safer, I’m
OK with that,” said Mechanicville
coach Don Arceneaux, whose
daughters, Abby and Anna, both
pitched his teams to state titles.
Cooper missed more than a week
of school after her surgery, returning last Tuesday for a half-day and
her first full day on Wednesday.
Her father, George, coaches
travel teams in the East Greenbush
system, working with both hitters
and pitchers. He has seen the game
change in the 10 years he’s been involved with the sport.
The culprit, according to coaches, is the bat.
“Its the technology, the composite bats. The ball gets on them so
fast,” said Ciccone.
“I also work a lot with hitters,
so I know how much the bats have
improved, how much these girls
have worked on their swings, how
they are in the gym lifting weights,”
said George Cooper. “The game has
changed a lot.”
“The ball comes off the composite bats so fast, sometimes it’s
scary,” said Schalmont coach Eric
Lybrand, whose right side of the
infield — both underclassmen —
have taken to wearing the protective mask. “We practice with tennis balls to prepare for the reaction
time. The ball is just flying.”
“Everybody wants the new
$300 bat,” said Arceneaux. “The
ball just takes off when you make

BOSTON — John Lackey
returned from the disabled list and
pitched six solid innings, David
Ortiz drove in two more runs and
the Boston Red Sox matched a team
record with their 18th win in April
by beating the Houston Astros, 6-1,
Sunday for a four-game sweep.
Lackey (1-1) missed all of last
season recovering from Tommy
John surgery, and went on the
disabled list after leaving his first
start this year with a strained right
biceps. He allowed five hits, struck
out four and walked two. The two
walks came with two outs in the
first, and cost Lackey his only run.
Stephen Drew hit a two-run
triple, and Ortiz had two hits,
extending his hitting streak to 20
games dating back to last Season.
Ortiz has 11 RBI and is batting .516
in eight games since returning to
the lineup last weekend.
Bud Norris (3-3) struck out six
for Houston and held the Red Sox
to three earned runs.
A double error by shortstop Marwin Gonzalez led to two unearned
runs in the fourth that put Boston
up, 4-1, an insurmountable margin
for the Astros as they failed to
deliver runs once again.
Houston left nine runners on
base and was 2-for-9 with runners
in scoring position. The Astros
were just 5-for-38 in the series in
those situations. They had a runner
on third with two outs in the ninth,
but Daniel Nava ended the game
with a diving catch in right field.

Athletics 9,

OAKLAND, Calif. — Third
baseman Manny Machado made a
throwing error on a bunt in the 10th
inning, and the Oakland Athletics
completed their comeback, beating
the Baltimore Orioles.
Down, 5-0, in the sixth, the A’s
tied it at 8-8 on Yoenis Cespedes’
two-run homer with one out in the
ninth. He was activated from the
disabled list before the game after
being out with a strained muscle in
his left hand.
Eric Sogard hit a leadoff single in
the 10th and moved to second when
reliever Pedro Strop (0-1) made a
wide throw to second on Adam
Rosales’ bunt. Coco Crisp followed
with a sacrifice bunt, and Machado
threw wildly past shortstop J.J. Har-

homered for Tampa Bay, which
improved to 4-9 on the road.
Zobrist also had an RBI single in
the ninth, and Evan Longoria added
more insurance with a double to
score Zobrist.
Paul Konerko hit a two-run home
run for Chicago, which is 1-5 against
left-handed starters.

Twins 5,

MINNEAPOLIS — Kevin Correia pitched eight sharp innings,
Justin Morneau homered and the
Minnesota Twins beat Texas, handing the Rangers consecutive losses
for the first time this season.
Correia (3-1) gave up six hits,
struck out two and walked one. He
allowed only one runner to reach
third base while lowering his ERA
to 2.23.
Correia has pitched at least seven
innings in each of his first five starts
for the Twins after going seven or
more only three times all of last
season.
The soft-tossing veteran signed a
two-year, $10 million contract with
Minnesota in the offseason, and has
been the Twins’ best starter. Correia retired his first seven batters
and set down 11 of the last 12.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Mike
Aviles hit a three-run homer and
finished with a career-high five RBI,
and the Cleveland Indians beat the
Kansas City Royals to split the first
day-night double-header in Kauffman Stadium history.
The Royals’ Jeremy Guthrie
shut down Cleveland in a victory
in the opener, but Will Smith (0-1)
couldn’t do the same after getting
recalled from Triple-A Omaha for
the nightcap.
The Indians scored twice off
Smith in the second inning. Aviles
hit his homer in the third, and then
he added sacrifice flies in the fourth
and seventh innings against his former team.
Corey Kluber yielded only
Chris Getz’s two-run blooper in
the fourth in a stellar spot start
for Cleveland. Kluber (2-0) lasted
seven innings and retired his final
10 batters.

ST. LOUIS — Rookie Jeff Locke
pitched seven innings of three-hit
ball, and Russell Martin had two
of Pittsburgh’s four home runs in
a 9-0 victory over the St. Louis
Cardinals on Sunday that gave the
Pirates a series win and the NL
Central lead.
Jones had three hits, and John
McDonald added an RBI double
for Pittsburgh, which ended rookie
Shelby Miller’s streak of 14 scoreless innings at home to start the
season. The Pirates have won nine
of 12 overall, leapfrogging St. Louis
for first place.
Locke (3-1) has worked 13 scoreless innings while allowing five hits
in his last two starts. The Cardinals
got just three singles and advanced
two runners into scoring position.
Justin Wilson allowed a walk the
last two innings.
SAN DIEGO — Chase Headley,
Nick Hundley and Alexi Amarista
homered off Ryan Vogelsong, and
the San Diego Padres beat San
Francisco for their first threegame sweep of the Giants since
May 2010.
Headley had three hits, and
Amarista scored three runs for the
Padres.
Pablo Sandoval had an RBI single
among his career high-tying four
hits for the defending World Series
champion Giants, who lost their
season-high fifth straight game.
They have lost eight of 12 following a 9-4 start.
Buster Posey extended his hitting
streak to nine games with a two-run
homer to pull the Giants to within
6-4 in the eighth. Sandoval was
aboard after his third single.

MIAMI — Giancarlo Stanton
homered twice and drove in four
runs, and the Miami Marlins beat
the Chicago Cubs to avert a fourgame series sweep.
Ricky Nolasco (2-2) gave up
three runs in seven innings and
retired the final 15 batters he faced.
The Marlins improved to 6-19, still
worst in the majors, and 3-10 at
home.
They benefited from a rare
offensive outburst, scoring more
than three runs for only the fifth
time this season and twice coming
from behind.
Stanton led the way, showing further signs he has shaken a
prolonged slump to start the season. Last year’s NL slugging leader
waited 65 at-bats to hit his first
homer Saturday, then hit another
in the first inning off Carlos Villanueva to put Miami ahead, 2-1.
Stanton singled home a run
and later scored in the sixth. He
homered again leading off in the
eighth against Kameron Loe.

WASHINGTON — Tony Cingrani struck out a career-high 11
— including four in one inning —
while pitching two-hit ball through
the sixth, and the Cincinnati Reds
beat the Washington Nationals to
avoid a four-game sweep.
Brandon Phillips had a two-run
single as the Reds (14-12) improved
to a major league-worst 2-9 on the
road.
Cingrani (2-0) pitched three perfect innings before Denard Span
reached base to lead off the fourth
— on a strikeout and wild pitch.
Danny Espinosa followed with a
double, but Cingrani struck out
three more hitters to escape the
inning without allowing any runs.

and struck out 12 in eight dominant
innings, Carl Crawford homered
twice against Kyle Lohse and the
Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Milwaukee Brewers.
Kershaw (3-2) scattered four hits
and didn’t walk a batter while lowering his ERA to 1.73. The 2011 Cy
Young Award winner, who led the
NL in ERA in each of the previous
two seasons, hasn’t allowed more
than three earned runs in any of his
last 18 starts — the longest active
streak in the majors.
Kershaw stranded runners in
scoring position in each of the
first two innings, retiring Jonathan
Lucroy on a double-play grounder
in the first and striking out Martin
Maldonado to end the second.

Cabrera leads Tigers
to sweep of Braves
DETROIT — Miguel Cabrera’s
three-run homer in the seventh inning broke the game open, and the
Detroit Tigers finished off a threegame sweep of the Atlanta Braves
with an 8-3 victory Sunday night.
Austin Jackson and Omar Infante
also homered for the Tigers, and
Doug Fister (4-0) struck out eight
in seven innings on a rainy night at
Comerica Park.
Mike Minor (3-2) allowed a
three-run homer to Jackson in the
third, and although the Braves came
back to tie it, Cabrera doubled and
scored in the sixth to make it 4-3.
Infante hit a solo shot in the seventh, and Cabrera added an opposite-field homer off reliever Cory
Gearrin.
Atlanta has lost four straight, and
is 3-8 since a 12-1 start.
Cabrera extended his hitting
streak to 12 games.
The NL East-leading Braves have
a 21⁄2-game lead over Washington
in the division, with a four-game
series against the Nationals starting tonight.
Detroit won the three games in
this series by a combined 25-7.
Aside from a three-run fourth,
the Braves were quiet offensively,
and Minor gave up six runs in 62⁄3
innings.

PHOENIX — Gerardo Parra
tripled and scored twice, and Josh
Wilson had a run-scoring double
to help lead the Arizona Diamondbacks to a win over the Colorado
Rockies.
Rockies All-Star shortstop Troy
Tulowitzki was lifted in the bottom of the third inning because of
a strained left shoulder.
Patrick Corbin threw five scoreless innings before tiring in his final
inning-plus. Corbin (3-0) allowed
two runs on nine hits over 62⁄3 innings and struck out five for his
first win in four starts against the
Rockies.

Mets
The left-hander was lifted after
117 pitches, and once again, Philadelphia immediately jumped all
over an awful Mets bullpen that
entered the day ranked next-to-last
in the majors with a 5.28 ERA.

Nadal beats
Almagro for title
BARCELONA, Spain — Rafael Nadal
won the Barcelona Open for the eighth
time Sunday, defeating Nicolas Almagro, 6-4, 6-3, for his fourth title of the
year.
This latest victory, with next month’s
French Open approaching, is a promising sign that Nadal is getting back to full
strength from a knee injury that sidelined
him since last summer
“I am very happy,” he said. “It has
been an important week for me to win
here again, and a great source of joy after
everything I have been through.”
After trailing, 3-0, in the first set,
Nadal found his form and broke his fellow Spaniard in three of his next four
service games to take command in a final
played in a drizzle.
He has made six straight finals since
returning from his knee injury. This title,
the 54th of his career, comes one week
after his eight-year reign at Monte Carlo
ended with a loss to top-ranked Novak
Djokovic.
Almaro, ranked 12th, has lost all 10 of
his matches to Nadal.
Sharapova wins
STUTTGART, Germany — Maria
Sharapova beat Li Na, 6-4, 6-3, on Sunday
to successfully defend her WTA Porsche
Grand Prix title in a final between the last
two French Open champions.
The top-seeded Russian swept to her
second title of the year after winning in
Indian Wells, Calif. She became the first
player to retain the Stuttgart title since
Lindsey Davenport in 2005.
“I thought it’d be the toughest match
of the tournament, but I played my best
tennis today,” Sharapova said. “I was able
to step it up.”
This was her 29th career title and 16th
consecutive win on clay, dating to Rome
last year. Since Stuttgart last year, she is
23-1 on clay. Her only loss was to Serena
Williams in Madrid.
Rosol victorious
BUCHAREST, Romania — Lukas
Rosol of the Czech Republic beat Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain, 6-3, 6-2,
Sunday to win the BRD Nastase Tiriac
Trophy for his first ATP title.
Rosol made quick work of things, winning in in 67 minutes and converting four
of his nine break points in a clay-court
final between two unseeded players.
Rosol is ranked No. 48.

Miami finishes
off Milwaukee
GM Nieuwendyk
ousted by Stars
MILWAUKEE — Miami’s Big
Three finally have their sweep.
LeBron James scored 30, Ray Allen had another big game against
his old team and the Miami Heat
advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals with an 88-77 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks
on Sunday. It’s the first time the
Heat have swept a playoff series
since James and Chris Bosh joined
Dwyane Wade in Miami three
years ago.
And the Heat didn’t even need
Wade to do it. The guard missed
a postseason game for the second
time in his career, and first since
2005, due to three bone bruises on
his right knee.
But the Heat still advanced handily, winning their fourth straight
game by double digits. Wade will
get plenty of time to rest now, too.
The Heat will face the winner of
the Brooklyn Nets-Chicago Bulls
series — Chicago leads, 3-1 — but
the next round won’t begin until
next Saturday.
Allen had 16 points on 5-for-10
shooting, including 4-for-7 from
three-point range. Udonis Haslem
added 13 points and five rebounds,
and Mario Chalmers kicked in eight
rebounds and six assists.
Monta Ellis led the Bucks with 21
points, and Larry Sanders had 11 rebounds to go with seven points. But
Milwaukee got almost nothing from
Brandon Jennings, who didn’t even
play in the fourth quarter. Jennings,
who had guaranteed the Bucks
would win the series in six games,
finished with three points on 1-for-7
shooting and had two turnovers.
The Heat had won the first three
games easily. But that was with
Wade on the floor. He led Miami in
scoring in Game 2, and his defense
was key in Game 3.
But Wade got knocked around
hard Thursday night, and the Heat
decided it wasn’t worth risking further aggravating his knee Sunday.
Wade missed six games near the
end of the regular season with three
bone bruises around his right knee
— one above, below and to the side
of the kneecap.
Wade got treatment “around the
clock” on Friday and Saturday, and
tested the knee before the game.
Though he was active and sat on
the bench in his warmups, a large
ice bag on his knee made it clear he
wasn’t going to play.
And, really, there was no need.
The Heat never trailed, and
James almost single-handedly made
sure the series wasn’t going back to
Miami. In addition to his 30 points,
James had eight rebounds, seven
assists and three steals.
With Milwaukee fumbling and
bumbling the ball early — the Bucks
had seven of their 16 turnovers in
the first quarter — Allen got the
Heat off to a quick start. He scored
all but two points during a 10-2 run
that put Miami up, 22-13, with 1:24
left in the first, and the Heat would
extend their lead to as much as 11
in the first half.
But the Bucks steadily chipped
away. When Mike Dunleavy
drained a three and Ellis scored
on a floater, it cut Miami’s lead to
69-67 with 9:34 to play.
Ellis was fouled by Allen on the
play, but he missed the free throw,
and James grabbed the rebound.
He fed Allen, who knocked down
— what else? — a three. J.J. Redick
missed a long three, and James
found an open Chalmers for another three that gave the Heat a
75-67 lead with 8:27 left.

Spurs 103,

LOS ANGELES — Tony Parker
scored 23 points, and San Antonio
completed its first-round sweep of
injury-plagued Los Angeles with a
victory in Game 4.
Tim Duncan had 11 points and
six rebounds for the second-seeded
JEFFREY PHELPS/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Miami Heat’s LeBron James (6) drives against the Milwaukee
Bucks’ Ersan Ilyasova, left, and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute during
the first half of Game 4 in the Eastern Conference quarterfinals
Sunday.
Spurs, who will face the winner of
Denver’s series with Golden State
in the second round. They’ll get
plenty of rest after flattening the
Lakers, who finished without three
regular starters in their first opening-round exit since 2007.
In his final game before unrestricted free agency, Dwight
Howard scored seven points before getting ejected early in the
third quarter for arguing.
Pau Gasol had 16 points for the
Lakers, who were swept from the
postseason for the second time in
three years despite a late courtside appearance by Kobe Bryant
on crutches.
In the final game of a season that
began with championship aspirations, the Lakers couldn’t keep up
without injured starters Bryant,
Steve Nash and Metta World Peace.
They had just nine available players
in uniform for the final minutes.
After Duncan led the Spurs’
blowout in Game 3, Parker took
the lead in the clincher, scoring 15
points in the first half while exploiting the Lakers’ hastily assembled
backcourt. Los Angeles’ top four
guards are out with injuries, including backups Steve Blake and Jodie

Meeks, and Parker was merciless
against third-stringers.
The Lakers gave away thousands
of white towels to their fans before
Game 4, but they acquired an unfortunate symbolism as the Spurs
relentlessly finished off their team.
San Antonio trailed for fewer than
five combined minutes in the fourgame series, grinding out points
and defensive stops with the steady
professionalism of coach Gregg
Popovich’s best teams.
After an unimpressive game featuring just two field goal attempts
in 20 minutes, Howard was tossed
with 9:51 left in the third quarter for
his second technical foul.

Celtics
were confident here today.”
Paul Pierce led the Celtics with
29 points, Jeff Green added 26 and
Terry finished with 18.
With leaders such as Pierce and
Kevin Garnett, the Celtics have
“tremendous” pride, Terry said.
“Getting swept is something that
no man that’s been in this league
that long wants to do. It’s disheartening.
“Now, we have to go into a
hostile environment, and they’re
going to be trying to get it over
with. They don’t want to come back
here, but we do.”
The Celtics showed renewed
energy early after being held below 80 points in each of the first
three games. They led, 59-39, three
minutes into the third quarter before their recent second-half woes
returned.
In previous first halves, they
scored just 25 points in Game 1
and 23 in Game 2. On Sunday, they
were outscored, 30-14, in the third
quarter and led, 68-65, heading into
the fourth.
“Good teams are going to make
those runs,” said Garnett, who had
13 points, 17 rebounds and six assists for Boston. “It’s deflating, but
we kept fighting. We found a way
to get over the hump.”
Boston held a 65-51 lead when
Anthony went to the bench with
3:35 remaining. The Knicks outscored the Celtics, 14-3, the rest of
the way behind 11 points from Felton and a three-pointer from Iman
Shumpert.
“He was huge in this game for
us,” Kenyon Martin said. “Especially missing J.R., we needed someone
else to make shots for us, and he
did that.”
“This is the first time that we
really came out with fire in our
eyes,” Terry said. “Every game from
here on out is Game 7 for us.”

DALLAS — The Dallas Stars
fired general manager Joe Nieuwendyk on Sunday after four seasons, two coaches and no playoff
appearances.
The dismissal came the day after
Dallas completed a 22-22-4 season.
The Stars missed the playoffs for
the fifth season in a row.
Owner Tom Gaglardi said in a
statement that Nieuwendyk represented the Stars “extremely well”
and “helped put pieces in place that
will once again turn this team into
a contender.” He added, however,
the team must go “in a different direction with our intentions set on returning to the elite” of the NHL.
The team is to announce its new
GM today. While the Stars have not
said who it is, Gaglardi is “confident
we have found the right general
manager to return us to the pathway of success.”
The team has refused to comment on reports that Jim Nill,
Detroit’s longtime assistant GM,
will get the job.
The future of coach Glen Gulutzan wasn’t addressed by the team
in its statement. Dallas holds an option for a third season for Gulutzan,
who is 64-57-9 in his two seasons
after ending the lockout-shortened
season with a 3-0 home loss to Detroit. The Stars dropped their last
five games and won only once in
their last seven after a five-game
winning streak.
When asked about his job after
Saturday night’s game, Gulutzan
said that wasn’t under his control.
He did praise Nieuwendyk.
“All I can say is that Joe’s been
tremendous for me. I think he’s
done a hell of a job,” Gulutzan said.
“You can see with our farm team
and the young guys that we have
here.”
As a player in Dallas, Nieuwendyk won the Conn Smythe Award
as playoff MVP in 1999, when the
Stars won their only Stanley Cup.
When hired by Nieuwendyk two
years ago to replace the fired Marc
Crawford, the 41-year-old Gulutzan
had never coached in the NHL.
Gulutzan had been a successful
minor league coach.
Crawford was hired following Dave Tippett’s firing in 2009,
after the Stars missed the playoffs a
year after making it to the Western
Conference finals. Tippett later that
year replaced Wayne Gretzky as
coach in Phoenix and led the Coyotes to the playoffs. He was honored as the league’s top coach.
AVS FIRE SACCO
DENVER — Joe Sacco will be
coaching with the NHL playoffs
in full swing.
Only, it won’t be on the bench for
the Colorado Avalanche after he was
fired as the team missed the postseason for a third straight season.
Instead, Sacco will lead a group of
U.S. players at the world championships later this week. The roster includes some familiar faces, too, with
Avalanche players Paul Stastny, Matt
Hunwick and Erik Johnson making
the trip with him to Europe.
A quick reunion and then a final
farewell.
Sacco could never get the Avs
on track in the lockout-shortened
season, resulting in a last-place finish in the Western Conference. He
just finished up his fourth season
in charge of Colorado — going
130-134-30 — when the team announced his firing.
“The organization believes a
change of leadership behind the
bench is needed going forward,”
general manager Greg Sherman
said. “Joe has worked for this franchise for eight seasons, and he is a
dedicated and hard-working coach.
We appreciate all he has done, and
wish him the best in the future.”
The Avs will soon begin their
search for a replacement.
They may also be in the market
for a veteran forward, too.
Milan Hejduk, the last on-ice
link to the 2001 Stanley Cup championship team, isn’t sure if he will
be back for a 15th season. He took
a moment to soak in the scene at
Pepsi Center in the season finale on
Saturday, winning the final faceoff
of the year and taking the puck as
a souvenir.
This wasn’t how he envisioned
going out, should this indeed be his
last season. It’s been a trying season in which Hejduk missed time
with shoulder and torso injuries.
He also finished with a career-low
11 points.
“We’ll see what’s going to happen
in the offseason,” said the 37-yearold Hejduk, who is second in franchise history in games (1,020) and
fourth in goals (375). “It was a short
season, but it was a tough one.”
And a costly one for Sacco.
Sacco spent two seasons in
charge of the organization’s American Hockey League affiliate squad,
the Lake Erie Monsters, before taking over the Avs in 2009 after the
firing of Tony Granato.
A former NHL player, Sacco
preached a fast-paced style, and
it served the youthful Avalanche
well in his first season as the team
earned a postseason spot.
But Colorado couldn’t duplicate
that success.
Moments after a 3-1 loss helped
Minnesota clinch the final playoff
spot in the West, Sacco was asked
about his future, saying, “We’re
certainly headed in the right direction.”
FLYERS KEEP LAVIOLETTE
PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Flyers have failed to win
a Stanley Cup every season since
1975.
But they’re at least in the hunt.
Not this year. Not after the Flyers
failed to make the playoffs for the
first time since 2007, and only the
second time since 1995.
Any offseason shakeups needed to
mold the Flyers back into a contender
won’t include changing the coach.
Peter Laviolette has another
chance to win the Cup with the Flyers, and will return for his fifth season with a chance to prove this was
a one-year blip and not the start of a
downward spiral for the franchise.
“We’re not in the playoffs, so we
all underperformed,” Flyers general
manager Paul Holmgren said. “Players, coaches, myself. And we’ve got
to get better. I’m not unhappy with
the coaches. I think they did a good
job under the circumstances. But
we’re sitting here today talking,
and the playoffs are going to start
in two days and we’re not in them,
so that’s not good.”
The Flyers went 23-22-3 and
were 10th in the Eastern Conference with 49 points. After a slow
start, Laviolette’s performance was
under scrutiny for most of the lockout-shortened season. The Flyers
defense was decimated by injuries, and overall inconsistent play
doomed the team.
Holmgren made it clear he still
believed Laviolette was the right
coach, and that enough talented
players are in place — like Claude
Giroux and Jakub Voracek — to
make a quick return to the postseason.
Senators spoil Bruins’
division title hopes
BY JIMMY GOLEN
BOSTON — Jean-Gabriel Pageau
scored the tiebreaking goal with
3:34 to play, and the Ottawa Senators beat Boston, 4-2, on Sunday
night in the NHL’s rescheduled
regular-season finale.
The victory gave the Senators
the seventh seed for the Eastern
Conference playoffs and a matchup with Montreal, and dropped the
New York Islanders into eighth and
a first-round series against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Bruins, who could have won
the Northeast Division and earned a
No. 2 seed with a win, finish fourth;
they will play Toronto in the first
round.
The game was originally scheduled for April 15, the day of the Boston Marathon bombings. It was the
only NHL game on Sunday, with
the rest of the league wrapping up
the regular season by Saturday.
Kyle Turris scored an empty-netter with 37 seconds left.
Robin Lehner stopped 34 shots
for the Senators, who had not
beaten Boston in their previous 14
tries.
Tuukka Rask made 18 saves for
Boston, which had won two straight
division titles.
Pageau also assisted on Erik
Condra’s goal that made it 1-0 with
three minutes left in the first period. Jared Cowen scored midway
through the second to give Ottawa
a 2-0 lead.
But the Bruins scored twice — on
Rich Peverley’s goal with 3.4 seconds left in the second period and
again on Dennis Seidenberg’s goal
just 14 seconds into the third.
It was still tied when Pageau
swept a rebound past Rask to give
the Senators a 3-2 lead. The Bruins
couldn’t manage any pressure with
Rask pulled for the final minute,
and Ottawa clinched it when Erik
Karlsson lofted it out of the zone
to Turris, who wristed a long shot
into the empty net.

Broncs knock Saints
out of first in MAAC
LOUDONVILLE — Mike Parsons’ two-run double highlighted
a four-run second inning Sunday
as the Rider College baseball team
knocked Siena out of first place in
the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference with a 6-4 victory over the
Saints.
Siena (19-24, 10-5 MAAC) had
taken a 3-1 lead in the bottom of
the first on a two-run single by John
Rooney.
Siena rallied in the ninth, cutting
the Broncs’ lead to 6-4 on a basesloaded error. Siena junior Andres
Ortiz then drove a hard shot to left
field, but Ian Lindsay charged the
ball and made the catch to end the
game.
Rider improved to 11-4 in the
conference and 26-15 overall.

Billy Horschel reacts after missing a birdie putt on the 14th green during the final round of the
Zurich Classic at TPC Louisiana in Avondale, La., Sunday.
GOLF
Horschel closes with 64,
picks up first PGA victory
AVONDALE, La. — Billy
Horschel shot an eight-under 64
in the final round of the Zurich
Classic, maintaining his composure
through a pair of weather delays for
his first career PGA Tour victory
on Sunday.
The 26-year-old former Florida
Gator began the day two shots
behind third-round leader Lucas
Glover, and surged into the lead
with six straight birdies after the
first weather delay. He finished
at 20-under, narrowly holding off
Shell Houston Open winner D.A.
Points, who shot a final-round 65
to finish one shot behind.
The second delay happened
before Horschel could take his second shot on the 18th hole, giving
him 50 minutes to reflect on what
was at stake — $1.19 million and a
two-year exemption.
Kyle Stanley shot a five-under
67 to finish third, while Chinese
14-year-old amateur Guan Tianlang
finished 71st after making his second cut in two PGA events, the first
coming famously at the Masters.
Horschel sealed the win with a
27-foot birdie putt on 18, after which
he pumped his arms and screamed
in triumph, before sinking into a
crouch and briefly pulling his cap
over his face as the crowd roared.
Although Horschel had never
won on the Tour, he had been playing the best golf of his young career
lately, with three top-10 finishes in
his past three tournaments — tying for second in Houston, tying for
third in San Antonio and tying for
ninth in Hilton Head Island, S.C.,
a week ago.
He has also made a PGA Tourleading 23 straight cuts, and had already earned $1.3 million this year.
Now, he has nearly doubled that,
thanks to a final round which tied a
single-round course record that has
been matched several times, including by Rickey Barnes in Thursday’s
first round.
Horschel began the day at
12-under, two shots behind thirdround leader Glover. He began
to make his move up the leaderboard with his first birdie on the
fifth hole.
His string of six straight birdies
ran from the seventh through 12th
holes move him to seven-under
on the round and 19-under for the
tournament.
On the par-5 seventh hole,
Horschel chipped from about 89
feet to within two feet to set up his
first birdie putt. He made a ninefoot birdie putt on eight, and then
hit a 191-yard tee shot about four
feet from the pin to set up a birdie
on the par-3 ninth.
He made a birdie putts from
131⁄2 feet on 10, from six feet on 11
and 151⁄2 feet on 12.
Horschel bogeyed 15th hole after
twice hitting in the right rough to
fall back into a tie with Points.
But Horschel then birdied 16 by
hitting a 109-yard approach within five feet, putting him back at
19-under and restoring his one-shot
lead.
Points, playing in the same
crowd-pleasing group as Horschel,
birdied the 10th through 13th holes
to stay on Horschel’s heels. However, he left a 98-yard approach
shot 30 feet short and left on 16,
where he lost the lead.
Glover, the 2009 U.S. Open winner who was looking for his first
Tour victory in about two years,
took a two-shot lead into the final
round and opened with five pars —
narrowly missing birdie when his
putt rimmed out on the first hole.
He was about to line up a birdie putt
from 27 feet when a horn sounded,
signaling nearby lightning. Play was
halted immediately and a downpour ensued shortly after, causing
a two-hour, 54-minute delay.
Glover two-putted for par when
play resumed, then struggled on the
seventh hole, hitting his drive to an
uphill lie in the rough on the edge
of a pot bunker. That forced him
to lay up, and he chipped over the
green and wound up with a bogey
on a hole that many players birdied
or eagled.
That dropped him out of the lead
for good, and he wound up finishing
tied for fourth with Bobby Gates,
five shots off the lead.
THIRD WIN FOR PARK
IRVING, Texas — Inbee Park
shot a bogey-free four-under 67
to win the inaugural North Texas
LPGA Shootout by a stroke over
Carlota Ciganda, whose chance for
a first LPGA victory was wiped out
in a two-hole stretch.
Park, the world’s No. 1 women’s
player, finished at 13-under 271
for her third victory this season
and fifth in her last 18 starts. The
24-year-old South Korean sank a
four-foot birdie putt on the par-5
18th after Ciganda also birdied the
hole, even after a drive into the
right rough.
After starting the day two strokes
behind Ciganda, Park went ahead
to stay with pars on Nos. 14 and
15, where her playing partner ran
into trouble. Ciganda had bogey
and double bogey on those holes,
part of her 70.
Fifth-ranked Suzann Pettersen from Norway, the winner in
Hawaii last week, had a closing 66
to get to 10-under and finish third.
Hee Young Park (64) and So Yeon
Ryu (68) tied for fourth at 275.
With the $195,000 check for first
place, Park exceeded $6 million in
career earnings, and will be No. 1
for the third week in a row.
NEW TEAMMATE HELPS
SAVANNAH, Ga. — After finishing second twice, Jeff Sluman
finally won the Liberty Mutual
Insurance Legends of Golf with a
new teammate.
Sluman, a two-time runner-up
with Craig Stadler at the Champions Tour’s team event, partnered
with Brad Faxon for a one-stroke
victory at the Club at Savannah
Harbor. The duo had five birdies in
a seven-hole stretch in the middle
of their round to get to 23-under,
and made par on their final four
holes to hold on for the win with
a 193 total.
Gene Sauers, playing in his hometown, teamed with Kenny Perry
to finish tied for second with Fred
Funk and Mike Goodes at 22-under. Stadler and Kirk Triplett were
among eight teams to finish another
shot back in a tie for fourth.
The tournament’s 36-hole leaders, Jay Don Blake and Roger Chapman, shot a one-under 71 in their
final round to finish in a tie for 16th,
five shots back.
Sluman and Faxon, who led
after a 62 on the first day, shook
off a sloppy second round to rally
on Sunday. Their 66 Saturday was
marked by their only bogey of the
week at No. 17 and a long, par-saving putt on No. 18.
They gathered themselves over a
nearly century-old bottle of dessert
wine Saturday night, and regained
their Friday form.
ALBANY — The Great Danes

Redshirt sophomore Stephen
Carey, making his first career start,

Caitlin Cooper had been sidelined before as the result of being
struck by a batted ball.
“She got hit two years ago. She
got her glove on the ball, but it still
hit her in the head. She had a mild
concussion and was out for two
weeks,” her father said.
“In hindsight, on my part, that’s
when I probably should have talked
to her about wearing one. I can tell
you that pitchers on my teams will
wear them from now on. These girls
are pitching from 43 feet away, and
by the time they follow through,
they’re about 40 feet away from
the hitter. There’s next to no time

SCHENECTADY — Union
moved from center field to third
base this season. After some initial
reluctance, she’s glad she opted to
wear a mask.
“I didn’t want the mask, for aesthetic reasons,” said Maggs, who
set up about 30 feet away on bunt
situations in a recent game with
Schalmont. “After a few practices,
I ripped it off and said. ‘I can’t do
this.’ ”
A conversation with her mother,
and the first line drive hit directly
at her, changed her mind.
“My mom always says to me,
‘You’re really close. You scare me.’
From a spectator’s point of view,
I can see where it’s a little nervewracking,” Maggs said.
“One of the first games, the ball
was hit like a bullet at my face.
My initial reaction was to duck,
but I didn’t because I was wearing
the mask. It fits well, and doesn’t
interfere with my vision. And it’s
not heavy. Now, I usually can’t
even feel it.”

HERMANN TO JOIN RAIDERS
TROY — Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute quarterback Mike Hermann has agreed to sign as a free
agent with the Oakland Raiders.
He’s expected to join the Raiders
for the team’s workouts in May.
A three-time All-Liberty League
choice, including a two-time Offensive Player of the Year, Hermann completed 178 of 296 passes
(60.1 percent) for 2,366 yards and
23 touchdowns last season.
The 6-foot-5, 250-pounder was
also the Engineers’ leading rusher
with 510 yards and seven touchdowns on 107 carries.
ers are opting to wear a mask at
the youth level, making the equipment less foreign as they move on
to school softball.
“Our pitchers wear them, and
I’m glad they do,” said Troy coach
George Rafferty.
His No. 1 pitcher, Hunter
Levesque, is an eighth-grader,
part of a growing number of the
younger players taking the better
safe than sorry approach.
“I do think more of the younger
players are more receptive,” said
Rafferty.
Niskayuna is among the leaders in getting players to accept the
added protection.
“On our modified, freshman and
JV teams, more corner infielders
and pitchers are wearing them than
don’t,” said varsity coach Jules Paul.
“I think that’s what we’re going to
see.”

Former Yale coach dies of cancer
Wire, web reports
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Tim
Taylor, the former Yale University
hockey coach with the most wins
at the Ivy League school, has died
of cancer. He was 71.
Taylor’s wife, Diana Cooke,
confirmed he died Saturday, two
weeks after Yale won its first
national championship.
Taylor had been battling cancer
recently, but continued to serve in
a prominent role with USA Hockey.
He was the director of player personnel for the gold medal-winning
U.S. team at the 2013 World Junior
Championship.
He coached Yale for 28 seasons,
posting a 342-433-55 record from
1976 to 2006. He was an assistant
coach for the 1984 U.S. Olympic
team and the head coach in 1994.
His most memorable season with
the Bulldogs was 1997-98, when he
led the team to the ECAC Hockey
regular-season championship and
the school’s first NCAA tournament
berth since 1952.
Taylor was given the Spencer
Penrose Award by the American
Hockey Coaches Association that
season as the coach of the year in
Division I men’s hockey.
“The ECAC Hockey family, and
hockey community, has suffered a
great loss with the passing of coach
Tim Taylor,” said ECAC commissioner Steve Hagwell in a statement. “He is an icon within ECAC
Hockey and the entire sport. A
gentleman’s gentleman, Coach epitomized the true meaning of honor,
integrity, loyalty and class. Coach
truly was a blessing to everyone
who had the privilege of knowing
him. He will be greatly missed, but
not forgotten.”
In 1984, Taylor was both the assistant general manager and assistant
coach for the U.S. Olympic team
in Sarajevo. Taylor then served as
head coach for Team USA in 1994
in Lillehammer, Norway.
Taylor led the U.S. men’s national team at the World Championship
four straight years (1989-1992). He
also served as an assistant coach
for the team at the 1981 and 1983
events.
Born March 26, 1942, in Natick,
Mass., Taylor captained the 1963
Harvard team that won the Ivy
League title. He had 46 goals and
79 points in 68 career games for the
Crimson.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Back at
Churchill Downs for the first time
since winning the Kentucky Derby with I’ll Have Another, trainer
Doug O’Neill is thinking about winning another one.
And why not?
This time around, the trainer has
Goldencents, who like I’ll Have Another comes into the Saturday’s
Derby off a victory in the Santa
Anita Derby.
“It’s great to be back,” O’Neill
said. “It’s wonderful looking at the
twin spires and dreaming of what
could be coming on May 4.”
Goldencents has O’Neill looking forward to Saturday, especially
after the 3-year-old colt took his
first jog around the track. A day after making the cross-country flight

in the Santa Anita Derby.
Krigger has been the regular
rider, and will have a chance
on Saturday to become the first
African-American jockey to win the
Derby since 1902.
Though Krigger wasn’t sure if
he’d get aboard Goldencents before Saturday, O’Neill has about
10 mounts planned for him so the
jockey becomes familiar with the
track and its surface.
“I’m happy either way how we
do it, so it doesn’t really matter to
me if I do or not,” Krigger said. “I
would like to, though.”
from California, the colt, co-owned
by Louisville basketball coach Rick
Pitino, jogged a leisurely mile with
exercise rider Jonny Garcia aboard.
Jockey Kevin Krigger looked on.
“He looked great,” O’Neill said
before showers passed over the
track following the jog. “We just
had an easy day with him, but I was
real happy with the way he looked,
Jonny was happy with the way he
felt. If all goes well, we’ll gallop him
[today].”
Goldencents had his last workout
Thursday at Santa Anita, covering
six furlongs in 1:16.20. Most notable
about the workout was covering the
final three furlongs in 36.00, boosting O’Neill’s Derby outlook.
Goldencents has won two of
three starts this year and totals

A 7 ⁄2-foot-high safety pin that looks like a modern
sculpture actually is a floor lamp made in 1975 by modern artist Yonel Lebovici (1937-1998).
In the 1960s, he started making very unusual lamps
and other items inspired by everyday objects. His marketing ideas were unusual for an artist at the time.
He made a limited number of
each creation, which means
he was among the first to sell
“limited editions.” He was
ahead of the huge popularity
of limited-edition plates, figurines and other collectibles.

Antiques &
Collecting
A French artist
named this
large safety

(”safety pin of
the baby nurse”).
It is a floor lamp
that tops 6 feet.
Purchase price

York was $37,500.
often were limited to the
number made in one year.
Collectors paid more for
those no longer made. In the
1990s, limited editions lost
favor and prices fell. But to
own “the-only-one-made” art
piece by a known artist gives
extra prestige to a collector,
and prices are high.
Work by an important
artist limited to about 20 examples also entices collectors
to pay higher prices. Lebovici
was influenced by everyday
household items, fish and perpetual motion.
He created cordless lamps
using the then-new low voltage technology. The large
safety-pin lamp, from an
edition of 10, auctioned for
$37,500 at Sotheby’s in 2012.
STAG’S HEAD INKSTAND
Q: Our grandmother left us an inkstand that has
been in the family for more than 80 years. It’s in the
shape of a stag’s head with long antlers that form a
pen rest. The words “Niagara Falls” are on the top of
the stag’s head.
A pressed glass inkwell sits right behind the head on
a base that looks like a pile of leaves and acorns. The
1
antlers are 5 ⁄2 inches high, and the inkstand is about 6
1
by 4 ⁄2 inches. What can you tell us?
A: Your inkstand is a well-known American design
that dates from the early 1900s. We have seen it without any notation on the stag’s head, but it was probably
sold as a souvenir at many tourist sites. The head, base
and antlers have been made in various colors and metals. Your inkstand, depending on its condition, could
sell for more than $100.

TWA MEMORABILIA
Q: I inherited some TWA airline memorabilia from
an uncle who worked for Trans World Airlines years
ago. I have a box of TWA playing cards, carry-on bags,
silverware, booties, etc. Are any of these items worth
anything? How should I go about selling them?
A: There are collectors of airline memorabilia. You
can find some of them by contacting one of the clubs
for collectors, like the World Airline Historical Society. The club website (www.WAHSonline.com) lists
collector shows in the United States. If you find one
near you, you can go to the show, meet collectors,
see what things like yours are selling for and possibly
find a buyer.

TIP
After you come back from a flea market or show
where you examined merchandise, be sure to wash
your hands. You could have handled something oily
or dusty that left traces on your hands.
When you unpack, wash your hands again to be
sure all contaminants from the wrappings are gone.
Gently clean any of your new purchases. And think
about the weather when you’re shopping. A change
from very hot or very cold to room temperature can
damage antiques. Try not to keep purchases in your
trunk for very long.

BOX OFFICE
‘Iron Man 3’ has huge overseas debut before U.S. release
$195M far exceeds
take of U.S. leader
‘Pain & Gain’
BY DAVID GERMAIN
LOS ANGELES — “Iron Man
3” was the heavy lifter at theaters
overseas with a colossal debut
abroad that overshadowed a gang
of mercenary bodybuilders in a
sleepy pre-summer weekend at
the domestic box office.
The Marvel Studios superhero
sequel starring Robert Downey Jr.
got an early start on its domestic
launch this Friday with a $195.3 million opening in 42 overseas markets, distributor Disney reported
Sunday.
That topped the $185.1 million
start for Marvel’s “The Avengers,” which opened in 39 markets
over the same weekend last year a
week ahead of its record-breaking
domestic debut of $207.4 million.
“You don’t know that you could
ever repeat the kind of experience we had a year ago, and here
the Marvel team brought together
another incredible movie,” said
Dave Hollis, head of distribution
for Disney. “We’ve had this as a
pattern for Marvel films to kind of
let momentum internationally help
signal to the domestic audience that
the film is coming, something big
is coming.”
Director Michael Bay’s “Pain &
Gain,” a true-crime tale of bodybuilders on the make, muscled into
first place domestically with a $20
million debut in the United States
and Canada.
The Top 10
1. “Pain & Gain,” $20 million
2. “Oblivion,” $17.4 million
3. “42,” $10.7 million
4. “The Big Wedding,” $7.5 million
5. “The Croods,” $6.6 million
6. “G.I. Joe: Retaliation,” $3.6
million
7. “Scary Movie 5,” $3.5 million
8. “Olympus Has Fallen,” $2.8
million
9. “The Place Beyond the Pines,”
$2.7 million
10. “Jurassic Park” in 3-D, $2.3
million
The Paramount release starring
Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson
and Anthony Mackie knocked
off Tom Cruise’s sci-fi adventure
“Oblivion” after a week in the No. 1
spot. Universal’s “Oblivion” slipped
to second place with $17.4 million,
raising its domestic total to $64.7
million.
Lionsgate’s all-star nuptial comedy “The Big Wedding” tanked at
No. 4 with just $7.5 million. The
ensemble cast includes Robert De
Niro, Diane Keaton, Robin Williams, Susan Sarandon and Katherine Heigl, but the movie was almost
universally trashed by critics and
held little interest for audiences.
SMALL-SCALE SUCCESS
Paramount, which distributed
the earlier “Iron Man” movies and
still has a financial stake in the comic-book flicks after Disney bought
Marvel, had a small-scale success
with “Pain & Gain.”
A passion project for Bay, who
has made Paramount a fortune with
his “Transformers” franchise, “Pain
& Gain” was shot for a modest $26
million, spare change compared
with the director’s usual budgets.
The movie has the director taking a breather from his usual sci-fi
action spectacles for a story based
on a kidnapping-extortion caper
carried out by bodybuilders in the
1990s. Yet “Pain & Gain” still has
Bay’s usual visual flair, and the reviews generally were better than
what he’s used to.
“With that kind of budget, to
open to $20 million the first weekend is a very strong opening,” said
Don Harris, Paramount’s head of
distribution. “You see what a director really in his prime, at the top
of his game, can do with a small
budget, what he can make a movie
look like.”
“Oblivion” was down a fairly
steep 53 percent from the movie’s
$37.1 million domestic debut the
previous weekend.
Overseas, “Oblivion” took in $12.8
million to lift its international haul
to $134.1 million and worldwide total to just under $200 million.
Hollywood’s domestic downturn
continued, with revenues totaling
$90 million, off 18.5 percent from
the same weekend last year, when
“Think Like a Man” led with $17.6
million, according to box office
tracker Hollywood.com.
Receipts have trailed 2012’s for
most of the year, with 2013 domestic ticket sales running at $2.9 billion, nearly 12 percent behind last
year’s.
That pattern could continue as

competing against that gigantic
start over the same weekend last
year for “The Avengers,” the only
movie to open with more than $200
million domestically.
“Iron Man 2” debuted with $128.1
million over the first weekend in
May 2010. Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian has been
pegging the “Iron Man 3” potential at $125 million-plus, though
the mammoth international start
could fire up domestic prospects
even higher.
“This ups the ante in a big way
for “Iron Man 3,” Dergarabedian
said. “It just raises the profile of the
film. It raises expectations. But to
expect something in the realm of
$207.4 million? Well, the fact that
we’re even talking about it is really
amazing.”
Said Disney’s Hollis: “I wouldn’t
even want to get ahead of ourselves
on something like that. But to say
we’re encouraged by the results
‘PINES’ SLIPS
“The Place Beyond the Pines,”
the film shot in the Schenectady
area, slipped to ninth place with
$2.7 million, after reaching No. 6 a
week earlier. That raised its total to
$16.2 million domestically.
Estimated domestic ticket sales
are for U.S. and Canadian theaters,
according to Hollywood.com.
HOROSCOPE
THEATER
Mirren snares actress honor at Oliviers
the show about a teenager “who
sees the world differently to a lot
of people.”
“I think people could kind of see
themselves in him,” Treadaway
said. “This is not even necessary,”
he said, holding his trophy, a bust
of the late actor Laurence Olivier. “I
enjoy doing it so much anyway.”
The play also won prizes for
director Marianne Elliott and supporting actress Nicola Walker, as
well as for set, lighting and sound.
Walker said the play had, through
some “magic,” succeeded in creating an onstage world as seen
through the eyes of a teenage hero
with autism.
BY JILL LAWLESS
LONDON — Helen Mirren was
crowned queen of the London stage
at the Olivier Awards on Sunday,
while compelling, canine-titled teen
drama “The Curious Incident of the
Dog in the Night-Time” emerged as
best in show with seven trophies.
The Olivier awards honor
achievements in London plays,
musicals, dance and opera.
Mirren, 67, was a popular and expected best actress choice for her
regal yet vulnerable Queen Elizabeth II in “The Audience,” Peter
Morgan’s behind-palace-doors
drama about the relationship between Britain’s queen and its prime
ministers.
The actress, who won an Academy Award in 2007 for playing
Britain’s monarch in “The Queen,”
quipped that it was 87-year-old Elizabeth who deserved an award, “for
the most consistent and committed
performance of the 20th century,
and probably the 21st century.”
Backstage, it turned out she
wasn’t kidding. Mirren, who has
been Olivier-nominated three times
before, said that finally winning
“doesn’t mean that I was the best
actor. There were so many incredible performances out there.”
“I was making a joke about the
queen winning, but I think actually
it is a reflection of the kind of respect
the queen is held in,” she said.
Her “Audience” co-star, Richard
McCabe, who won the supporting
actor trophy for playing 1960s and
’70s Prime Minister Harold Wilson,
said Mirren was a joy to work with.
“It’s important as an actor to be

good friends were married. Not
only did they invite us to the wedding, but by mentioning our son in
their wedding program, this wonderful couple made it possible for
our son to be part of their special
day. There are no words to express
how much this meant to us.
We also know a young woman
who included her late brother in
her wedding by holding his picture
in her hands when the wedding
photographer photographed the
wedding party. How blessed “Concerned” is to have such a sensitive
and loving granddaughter. — Always Remembering
