Parkview Elementary School students celebrated the end of Read Across America Week on Friday with an afternoon of Dr. Seuss-inspired fun, including a visit from school district superintendent Dr. Thomas Lesniewski. Dr. Lesniewski shared his favorite Dr. Seuss story, “Green Eggs and Ham,” and encouraged the students to work hard at becoming great readers, because reading skills have lifelong benefits.

Photos by Matthew Triponey/The Punxsutawney SpiritStudents at both the high school and elementary school levels in the Brookville Area School District are working together on a project that will leave a permanent mark at Hickory Grove Elementary. Using a grant from the Brookville Area Raider Scholastic Foundation, students in sixth grade at Hickory Grove and in ninth through 12th grades at the high school are making a mural to be installed before the end of the school year. The mural is an in-school project of the Brockway Center for Arts and Technology (BCAT), which has sent resident artists to work with students on the ceramic tiles that will soon be assembled into the larger mural. The mural has a patriotic theme and is based on a design by high school Art Club President Katelyn Reddinger. The process began on Wednesday and will continue until completion sometime in late April or early May. The high school students are working on the mural itself, while the sixth-graders concen- trate on the border, which will consist of painted tiles depicting each American state. When it’s finished, it will be permanently installed inside Hickory Grove on a blank wall just beyond the administrative offices. BCAT also invites students throughout the local area to its after-school program, where they can work with ceramics, metal and more. The free program takes place from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday throughout the school year.

PUNXSUTAWNEY — Punxsutawney Borough Police will team up with the Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate (ALICE) Institute for an active shooter training course coming up in May in Punxsutawney.
Punxsutawney Borough Police Chief Matt Conrad said that the department and ALICE will bring instruc-tor-led training classes that provide preparation and a plan for individuals and orga-nizations on how to more proactively handle the threat of an aggressive intruder or active shooter event.
Conrad said this training is for any business, school, hospital or law enforcement agency that wants to partici-pate and will give attendees
an instructor certificate."It puts law enforcement
on the same page as the school district, and it helps to create a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for every agency," Conrad said.
He said, that way, they can base their tactics on what the school is going to do.

SYKESVILLE — During Monday evening’s Sykes- ville Borough Council meeting, members were left scratching their heads after a water customer brought to council members’ attention a shutoff notice he received for a $38 late bill.
Water customer Ben Pifer explained to council that this wasn’t the first time a shutoff notice was sent to his home with nothing done about it.
“I’m the property owner who gave you the easement to go through my property by W&W equipment. I’m $38 behind on my water bill, because my bills are auto-matic, and they send me a
shutoff notice,” Pifer said. “I just have a huge problem with a shutoff notice for $38. I called the office, and no one has called me back.”
Pifer went on to explain that his issues began with the easement for his property and being constantly bothered to sign it.
He said that both he and his wife work out of town and pay extra to cover the bills, and he just wanted to see to it that he didn’t re- ceive a shutoff notice again when he is behind $38 on a water bill.
Council President Mack Zimmerman said that council members were going to look into the issue and see to it

BIG RUN — Despite the early tastes of spring weather that we've experienced in recent weeks, the return to winter weather once again this coming weekend has held up some of the area peeper predictions.
Michael and Wanda Schmaus of Upper Juneau reported to The Spirit back on March 1 that the teeny, tiny, peeper frogs located in their area had been heard singing their songs.
Meanwhile, still nary a peep out of the frogs that receive a bit more noto-riety — the tiny ones in Big Run.
The biggest promoter of the Big Run Peepers was the late John London of Big Run.
John described the spring peeper as a small tree frog that makes high-pitched peeping sounds that can be
heard just after the spring thaw — hence the frog's name.
John's son, Jeff London, the owner of Big Run Carpet, has been at the helm of the
Peepers prognostication since his father passed away, and now, the torch is being passed to John's step-grandson, Joey Bussard.
Joey said that he has been out checking on the little frogs every day
in the swamp located behind Big Run Carpet on Thompson Street in Big Run.
He said that last year the frogs peeped very early — on March 9 — and this year it
seems like things are going to take a little longer.(See Peep on Page 3)
nary a peep from Big run — so far
Conservative backlash threatens to sink new GOP health bill
WASHINGTON (AP) — A powerful conservative back- lash threatened to sink the new Republican health care bill Tuesday less than 24 hours after its launch, even as President Donald Trump and congressional leaders began trying to sell the legislation as the long-promised GOP cure for "Obamacare."
"We're going to do something that's great, and I'm proud to support the replacement plan released by the House of Representatives," Trump declared at the White House as he met Tuesday with the House GOP vote-counting team. "We're going to take action. There's going to be no slowing down. There's going to be no waiting and no more excuses by anybody."
Meanwhile, Vice President Mike Pence told GOP law- makers at the Capitol this was their chance to scuttle Obama's law, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell forecast congressional passage by early April.
But major obstacles loomed as key Republican lawma- kers announced their opposition, and one conservative group

Howard “Kip” Keith Swineford, 62, of Airport Road, Punxsutawney, passed away on Monday, March 6, 2017, at the Punxsutawney Area Hospital.
Kip was born on Jan. 15, 1955, in Punxsutawney, a son of the late Harry W. and Phyllis E. (Wyant) Swine- ford.
He attended school in Brookville and graduated from Jeff Tech, skilled in their machine shop, with the Class of 1973.
On May 10, 1980, he married Teresa A. (Reitz) Swineford at the Shannon- dale Lutheran Church; Teresa survives him.
Immediately out of school, he began working for Owens Illinois in Brookville. He stayed with them as they tran-sitioned into Rexam. Even- tually, he left Rexam and began working for Lowmaster & Warden in Punxsutaw- ney. Just this last January, he put in for his retirement.
He was a member of the Chestnut Grove Independent Church in Punxsutawney and a former member of the Shannondale Grange.
Kip liked to keep things simple, but there are many things that he enjoyed. He had a habit of starting remod-eling projects on his home, and the sense of doing and completing the work felt good to him. He grew up on a dairy farm, so hard work and dedication were ingrained in him from a young age. He also enjoyed working on smaller projects as well, such as building birdhouses, shelves, lamps and other little carpentry adventures; all around, he was a good handyman.
Kip also enjoyed the outdoors. He would go on four-wheeler rides with his son and do some light pro- duce gardening, like growing strawberries.
He liked to golf, and with his wife, he traveled to Myrtle Beach to attend golf school, where they learned tips and techniques from profes-sionals.
In their younger years, Kip and Teresa were part of the Sunday Night Mixed Couples Bowling League. Kip liked classic cars and trucks, and at one point, he owned a rare 1969 1/2 Plymouth Roadrunner. He also liked his tractors, one of which, the Massey Ferguson, he restored with his son by his side. He also loved his John Deere. Kip would mow and move snow
for the whole neighborhood. Sunday night football was a highlight of his week, and of course, the Steelers were his team of choice.
Kip had a special way of showing love for his family, and it was by providing well and making sure their needs were always met. Kip was well-liked and will be missed by many.
In addition to his wife Teresa, Kip is survived by his son, Nathan (Tracy) Swine- ford; two sisters, Harriet Kerr and Dianne (Howard) Pifer; a brother, Tom (Debbie) Swineford; two brothers-in-law, Bill McAninch and Steve L. Reitz; and his moth-er-in-law, Bertha Reitz.
In addition to his parents, Kip was preceded in death by a sister, Margie McAn- inch; a brother-in-law, Ted Kerr; his father-in-law, Lee Reitz; and his daughter, Sarah Ann Swineford, when she was four years old.
Family and friends will be received from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday, March 10, 2017, at the McKinney - d’Argy Funeral Home, 345 Main St., Brookville, PA 15825. A second day of viewing will take place from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, March 11, 2017, also at the funeral home. A funeral service will take place on Sunday, March 12, 2017, at the Chestnut Grove Independent Church, 342 Lipp Rd., Punxsutawney, PA 15767, beginning at 1 p.m. and officiated by Pastor Joe Spack.
Interment will take place at the Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Knox, Township, Jefferson County.
Memorial contributions may be made in his name to the Center for Organ Recovery, 204 Sigma Dr., Pittsburgh, PA 15238.

George Michael died of natural causes, British coroner says
LONDON (AP) — George Michael died of natural causes as the result of heart disease and a fatty liver, a British coroner said Tuesday.
Darren Salter, senior coroner for the county of Oxfordshire in southern England, said that an autopsy has found that the singer died of "dilated cardiomyopathy with myocarditis and fatty liver."
Dilated cardiomyopathy is a condition in which the left ventricle of the heart becomes stretched and weakened, limiting the heart's ability to pump blood. Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle.
The former Wham! singer-songwriter was found dead at his country home in Oxfordshire on Dec. 25. He was 53.
An initial autopsy failed to determine the cause of death.
Salter said that because Michael died of natural causes, there will be no coroner's inquest or further inquiries.
Police initially inves-tigated and took witness statements in order to establish facts about Michael's death, which they called "unexplained but non-suspicious."

EVANS CITY— Evans City Elementary School has been named a national Ameri- can School Counselor Asso- ciation (ASCA) Recog- nized ASCA Model Program (RAMP) for making an exem-plary commitment to compre-hensive school counseling programs, ASCA officials recently announced.
The RAMP designation, awarded to schools that align with the criteria set in the ASCA National Model, recognizes schools that are committed to delivering a comprehensive, data-driven school counseling program and an exemplary educa-tional environment. Only 650 schools have been designated as RAMP since the program’s inception in 2004.
Evans City Elementary School Counselor Kayla Snyder (pictured, right) led the application process and was recognized by staff during a recent awards celebration at the school that recognized her efforts to help students.
Snyder is a Punxsutawney Area High School graduate and the daughter of Kevin and
Denise Snyder. “Ms. Snyder makes a differ-
ence each day and every day in our school by being a fantastic listener and problem solver while creating a welcoming, safe space for students,” said Evans City Elementary Principal Lauri Pendred (also pictured, left).
RAMP applications are reviewed once a year by a panel of school counseling professionals, who assess a school counseling program in 12 different areas of program expertise. Snyder will receive the designation honor on behalf of the school during a special ASCA ceremony.
Jill Cook, ASCA assistant director and RAMP coordi-nator, said this year’s recipi-ents are to be commended for their dedication to serving all students and demonstrating how effective school coun-seling programs can make a difference in students’ lives.
“This year’s RAMP hon- orees have shown their com- mitment to students and the school counseling profession,” Cook said. “This designation distinguishes these schools
and encourages school coun-selors nationwide to continue to strive for success.”
The American School Counselor Association is a worldwide nonprofit organi-zation based in Alexandria, Va. Founded in 1952, ASCA supports school counselors’ efforts to help students focus on academic, career and so-
cial/emotional development so they not only achieve success in school but are prepared to lead fulfilling lives as res- ponsible members of society. The association provides professional development, publications and other resources, research and advo-cacy to school counselors around the globe.
Photo submitted by PAHGSThe Punxsutawney Area Historical & Genealogical Soc- iety has thousands of artifacts. As 2017 represents the Society’s 40th year, and the Society represents the much longer history of the Punxsutawney area, a good way to share some of this history is by providing an “artifact of the day” each day of Spirit publication. Today's artifact is a circa 1907 set of architectural elements salvaged from Farmers’ and Miners’ bank building. The artifact is displayed in Gallery 3 through July 9.

(Continued from Page One)provided by ALICE, whether it is an attack by an individual person or by an international group of professionals intent on conveying a political mes- sage through violence, ALICE Training option-based tactics have become the accepted res- ponse, versus the traditional “lockdown-only” approach.
Conrad said trouble can happen at any time and any place and that an active shooter could exist in those situations.
"It's better to be prepared for it than not being prepared," he said.
Conrad said ALICE per- forms different scenarios and a case where they use Airsoft
guns to lock down a school or business, including the difference between active and passive shooters.
He said it's good that the two biggest schools are beside each other: the Punxsutawney Area Middle School (PAMS) and Punxsutawney Area High School (PAHS), while Saints Cosmas & Damian (SS.C.D.) and Punxsutawney Christian School (PCS) are also in town. Then, there are all the elementary schools located out of town, such as Maple- view, Longview and Bell Township.
Conrad said the event is scheduled for May 18 and 19 and will be hosted by
the Punxsutawney Borough Police.
"Any business, hospital, law enforcement or educa-tional field that would like to participate should get in touch with us at the police depart-ment," Conrad said, adding that there's a cost of $595, but participants get a certification in this course, so they can go back and train their staff.
Conrad said the Punx- sutawney Borough Police help other communities with their trainings and incidents, and those communities do the same for them.

Water(Continued from Page One)that it wouldn’t happen again.
Zimmerman also explained that, per the shutoff policy within the borough, if a resident is two months behind on his or her water bill, a notice is sent to the resident to pay the bill or the water will be turned off.
Borough Manager Frank Bartley explained that, since the fall, the policy has been narrowed down to one month, saying that “it’s not money-sensitive, it’s time-sensitive.” As a result, he explained that the reason there are only 44 water customers with delinquent bills is because of the policy.
“When did we go to one month?” Zimmerman asked. “I didn’t know we did; I thought it was two months,”
council member Ron Park said. “Here is the problem; if someone doesn’t pay their water
bill by the 20th, you are going to shut them off after one month,” Zimmerman asked.
“I can’t answer that question. I don’t know when the billing cycle ends,” Bartley said.
Council members agreed that the billing cycle ends on the 20th day of each month — the same time borough crew members begin reading meters for the next month’s bills.
The list of delinquent bills was then looked at in depth. “Last month, we had this many too,” borough crew super-
visor Sam Armagost said. “By the time the date came around, everyone was paid up, except for one person.”
“I was under the understanding that after the second month of not being paid was when we started sending out the shutoff notices. But we need to sit down and figure this out right here and right now before tomorrow, because like that gentleman right there, for $38, is that one month or two months? I would be interested in knowing,” Zimmerman said.
“I thought that the shutoff policy was that you got a shutoff notice when you hit the second month,” Park said. “And my understanding is that the only step that we added after that was a letter went out, rather than a hang-on-the-door notice, and that they had seven days to respond to the letter before they got the shutoff.”
Borough solicitor CJ Zwick then read the borough’s policy, which states that “the abovereferenced customer account is in arrears and has been for the past two months for the follow- ing service.” He said that it was last updated in December.
Zimmerman then asked again if those 44 names listed as delinquent were one or two months behind on payments.
After looking further at the report generated by borough secretary Jaysa Neale, who was absent from the meeting, council members asked for information on whether the names were in arrears for one or two months to work to resolve the issue and have the policy followed.
“We need to generate a list on the second month, the 20th, the second time they did not pay their bill. That is when we should be sending out a shutoff notice,” Zimmerman said. “If they are only late by one month, they should not be sent a shutoff notice.”
Also at Monday’s meeting, council approved a motion for AFLAC insurance representative Brian Mowrey to give a presentation to the borough employees on insurance options. Bartley reported that Mowrey is now the borough’s represen-tative for AFLAC Insurance, and he would like to come in and discuss the insurance packages with the employees.
Bartley also asked for permission to attend the Governor’s Award Ceremony in Harrisburg on April 12 at his own ex- pense. Zimmerman explained that he was approached by the Chamber of Commerce, which is willing to pay up to $600 for hotel rooms for those attending. It was discussed who would attend, and it was decided that Bartley and council member Tom Kundrich will be going, as well as the bor- ough engineer Travis Long of Gwin, Dobson and Foreman.
Zimmerman asked that he extend the invitation to former borough employee Nick Yamrick, who helped a lot during the project as well. Bartley said that he would extend the invi-tation to Yamrick and RSVP for the event.

John always told people that the frogs have to look through glass three times.
"They come out and see that it is iced over, and when they come out for the third time and see that it's iced over, the next time they come out it is spring for sure," Joey said, adding that it is going to freeze up one more time this weekend, and then maybe they'll come out and start to sing.
Joey said he remembers all of the frog memorabilia that decorated the office in the
old carpet store, which was destroyed by a fire on June 19, 2011.
"We had many interesting frog items, toys, charts, frog photographs from around the world, hats, toys and stuffed frogs that people brought us over the years," Joey said, adding that he remembers coming into the store as a kid and playing with all of the frog memorabilia.
Joey said that he thinks the frogs could peep as early as this weekend, and he's check- ing the swamp every hour this week to see if there has been
any change.Plans for the Big Run
Peepers Banquet have also been released. The annual banquet will be held at 6 p.m. on Sunday, March 19, at the Big Run War Memorial.
Josie McElwane, banquet co-chairperson, said the doors open at 5 p.m., and there will be no tickets sold at the door.
She said that, once again, the dinner is catered by Shan- non’s Catering of Sykesville, and the guest speaker is Rep. Cris Dush, 66th legisla-tive district.
To purchase tickets, call one of these numbers: 427-2310, 952-8027, 427-6029 or 427-2041. All numbers are area code 814.
Peep
(Continued from Page One)after another torched the plan. The Club for Growth, Heritage Action for America, Americans for Prosperity and Tea Party Patriots variously derided the new bill as Obamacare Lite, Obamacare 2.0 and even RyanCare, in a dig at House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.
The new GOP plan would repeal the current law's unpopular fines on people who don't carry health insurance. It also would replace income-based subsidies, which the law provides to help millions of Americans pay premiums, with age-based tax credits that may be skimpier for people with low incomes. Those payments would phase out for higher-earning people.
The legislation also would limit fu- ture federal funding for Medicaid, which covers low-income people, about 1 in 5 Americans. And it would loosen rules that Obama's law imposed for health plans directly purchased by individuals.
Republican supporters and oppo-nents are all intent on reducing the role of government in health care, but some House conservatives say the new bill doesn't go nearly far enough.
For example, they are focusing on the system of refundable tax credits they denounce as a costly new entitlement. They're demanding a vote on a straight-forward repeal-only bill.
At the White House meeting Tuesday, Trump made clear to House Republicans
that he would be personally engaging with individual members who oppose the bill as leadership tries to round up votes, according to a lawmaker present who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the private gathering.
Not long after, Trump appeared to be making good on his promise, tweeting at Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who has criticized the bill.
"I feel sure that my friend @RandPaul will come along with the new and great health care program because he knows Obamacare is a disaster!" the president wrote.
The concerted conservative opposi- tion was a remarkable rebuke to legisla-tion GOP leaders hope will fulfill seven years of promises to repeal and replace Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act, pledges that played out in countless Republican campaigns for House and Senate as well as last year's race for presi-dent. Instead, the groups that are uniting to oppose the new House legislation include many that sprang up to oppose passage of "Obamacare" in the first place.
"As the bill stands today, it is Obama- care 2.0," the billionaire Koch Brothers-backed Americans for Prosperity and Freedom Partners Chamber of Com- merce said in a statement. "Millions of Americans would never see the improve-ments in care they were promised, just as Obamacare failed to deliver on
its promises."Republicans are pushing forward
even without official estimates from the Congressional Budget Office on the cost of the bill and how many people would be covered, although GOP lawmakers acknowledge they can't hope to match the 20 million covered under Obamacare.
Democrats say the bill would leave many people uninsured, shifting costs to states and hospital systems that act as providers of last resort. The bill also adds up to big tax breaks for the rich, cut- ting more than 20 taxes enacted under Obama's heath law, with the bulk of the savings going to the wealthiest Americans.
Caucus members command enough votes to take down the bill in the House, but the group's chairman, Rep. Mark Meadows of North Carolina, struck a conciliatory tone, emphasizing they are open to negotiation and view the leader-ship bill as a starting point.
Committee votes on the new bill are to begin today in the House, and GOP leaders hope to push it through the Senate soon thereafter.
Even as some Republicans expressed doubts about whether that would be possible, Speaker Ryan said at an after-noon news conference, "We'll have 218 when this thing comes to the floor, I can guarantee you that." That's the number of votes needed for passage.
Health
It was a land of peasants, and yet it was industrial-izing with astonishing speed. It was ruled by an
ancient, autocratic royal family, and yet there were remark-able stirrings of demands for democracy. It was a thousand miles from the main theaters of World War I, and yet there were 15 million men at arms. It was a rural kingdom, and yet its most far-reaching events were occur-ring in the cities.
And as this nation of controversy and contradictions was convulsed in revolu-tion a century ago this week, the rebels themselves were astonished at the power of the insur-rection — so forceful that bread riots in Petrograd and a local metalworkers' strike set in train events that swept across 11 time zones, toppling an empire of more than 125 million people whose ruling family had governed it for four centuries.
Few years were as conseq-uential as 1917, when the Uni- ted States abandoned a century and a quarter of relative isola-tionism by entering World War I, and when the promulgation of the Balfour Declaration set in motion the tensions that still roil the Middle East. But perhaps the most signifi-cant event of the year was the Russian Revolution that began 100 years ago, and shook an imperium that stretched across two contin- ents from the Baltic to the Sea of Okhotsk, sending tremors that shook the globe in World War II and the Cold War — and that extend into the early days of the Donald J. Trump administration.
The revolution never reached its centenary, its utopian goals never reached implementation, its heroic ideals never reached fulfill-ment. The crowded months beginning with the winter revolution, the abdication of Czar Nicholas a century ago next week, the lengthy struggle between a provisional government and the Petrograd Soviet and, in November, the ascendancy of V.I. Lenin led to the creation of a rogue nation that the United States did not recognize until 1933, that became an awkward but supremely powerful American and British ally in World War II, and that was a persistent and bitter rival thereafter.
The Russian Revolution was a significant event, but not in the way its founders expected or wanted.
"They thought they were creating a new world, but in many ways, they were re-creating the old world of authoritarian Russia that they eventually elevated to totali-tarianism," said William S. Taubman, the author of the authoritative English biog-raphy of Nikita Khrushchev, who led the Soviet Union during the Cold War. "Many of the old ways continued to exist in a new and heigh- tened form, and while one can debate whether Stalin perfected what Lenin started or corrupted and perverted it, there is no debating that the revolution led to Stalin's brand of terror."
The Soviet Union that grew out of the agitation a century ago bore the tragic brunt of the struggle to defeat Nazi Germany, but extended the Nazi techniques and technology of death camps. It helped bring justice to a Europe drowning in tyranny, but perfected a perverted sense of justice, marked by show trials and firing squads, within its own borders. It helped purge the world of the Axis dictators, but engaged in purges of its own. It cleansed the globe of mechanized anti-Semitism, but practiced a fresh, deadly form of anti-Semitism.
In truth, and in fairness, the communist ethos was spread
by romantic anthems of idea-lism, sung not only in Soviet Russia but also in the West. Communism had a special allure in the early days of the Russian Revolution — glittery dreamers like the American journalist John Reed, buried in the Kremlin wall, flocked to Russia to help build a new society and a new world — and attracted hundreds of thou-
sands during the Great Depression, when the vicissi-tudes and vulnera-bilities of capitalism and democracy were in full view.
Over the years, such black lumi-naries as the writer W.E.B. Du Bois and the actor Paul Robeson were dra- wn to communism. Two great balladeers of American culture,
the folk artist Woody Guthrie, who wrote of the "wheat fields waving and dust clouds rolling" in "This Land Is Your Land," and the writer Howard Fast, whose American Revolution novel "April Morning" has been a patriot favorite for generations, were communists.
But Lenin's vision of a rural revolution fueled by the griev-ances of urban laborers — "the union of the workers' revolution with the peasant war," in the characterization of Bolshevik revolutionary Grigory Zinoviev — never brought about the workers' paradise he promised. Nor did communism spread to European industrial nations, which Marxist orthodoxy held were far more fertile ground than rusticated Russia.
"Lenin died before he was compelled to face the immense and daunting task of changing backward Russia in isola-tion from the advanced West European countries, on whose support he had doubtless counted," the Russian-born economic historian Alec Nove wrote.
In the end, communism was "The God That Failed," the title of an influential 1949 book with essays by Andre Gide, Richard Wright and Arthur Koestler.
That may be because, as the historian John Lawrence argued, the communists "had no clear idea of how they were going to govern or how the new society would work."
Or it may be because a creed identifying multiple contradictions in capitalism ended up being the victim of its own contradictions. In a powerful book published in 1962, British historian Lionel Kochan argued that fear of war was a principal motivation of the drive toward Soviet indus-trialization, buttressed by the Marxist conviction that capi-talism was a form of war.
"The fear of war, with its socio-industrial consequ- ences, superimposed on the collective values inherent in Bolshevism," he wrote, "combined to create a society that was more and more totali-tarian."
Many polls taken during last year's election showed that younger Americans, with no memory of Soviet comm-unism, were congenial to socialism. A Harvard Institute of Politics poll showed that a third of Americans 18 to 29, none of whom have any memory of the Cold War, support socialism, a figure that rises to 41 percent for those born only a half-dozen years after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
That speaks to the allure of the ideology behind the Russian Revolution — and to the historical memory lapses that Soviet communism culti-vated. No one who lived in those years, apart perhaps from Vladimir Putin, regrets their passing. The dustbin of history, indeed.

Put aside, for a moment, the raging controversies over this or that aspect of Donald Trump, the Russians, and the election. And
then ask: What do we know about the allegation at the heart of the matter: Did Trump, his campaign aides, or his associ-ates collude with Russians to influence the 2016 campaign?
The answer is, we know nothing. After all the investigating, after all the talk, after all the yelling — the public knows nothing. There may be people at the highest levels of U.S. government secrecy who know the answer, but even that is not clear at the moment.
The most definitive state-ment of the current situation came Sunday on NBCs "Meet the Press." James Clapper, the former director of national intelligence, admitted that he does not know of any evidence that proves collusion, or even points toward collusion.
"Does intelligence exist that can definitively answer the following ques-tion, whether there were improper contacts between the Trump campaign and Russian officials?" NBC's Chuck Todd asked Clapper.
"We did not include any evidence in our report ... that had anything, that had any reflection of collusion between members of the Trump campaign and the Russians," Clapper answered. "There was no evidence of that included in our report."
"I understand that, but does it exist?" asked Todd.
"Not to my knowledge," said Clapper."If it existed, it would have been in
the report?" asked Todd."This could have unfolded or become
available in the time since I left the government," Clapper responded. "But at the time, we had no evidence of such collusion."
Remember that Clapper was head of national intelligence until Jan. 20. There have been reports the Trump Russia hacking investigation was going on last summer, that it accelerated in the fall and that it has been moving along ever since. So Clapper was there for most of the investigation. And he says he knows of no evidence of collusion.
Other government officials who know less than Clapper — but who should still know something — are in the dark. On Feb. 27, Republican Rep. Devin Nunes, who is the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said, "We still
have not seen any evidence of anyone that's — from the Trump campaign or any other campaign, for that matter, that's communicated with the Russian govern-ment."
Pressed about alleged contacts, Nunes said, "That doesn't mean they don't exist, but I don't have that. And what I've been told is, by many — by many folks, is that there's nothing there."
A few days later, Rep. Adam Schiff, Nunes' colleague and the top Democrat on the Intel Committee, expressed frustration with the FBI for not sharing information on the investigation. "I would say at this point we know less than a fraction of what the FBI knows."
Nunes and Schiff — who both have security clearances and, as the prime House overseers of the intelligence community, should know what they are talking about — both agree: They know nothing
about evidence of collusion. Nunes appears to believe that is because there isn't any such evidence. Schiff appears to believe that is because the FBI has been hiding the evidence. But both say they don't know much.
The situation seems no better in the Senate, where the biggest recent controversy has been over Intelligence Committee chairman Richard Burr acting at the behest of the White House to tell reporters there's no there there on the collusion angle.
What all that suggests is that there is an information vacuum at the core of the Russia election controversy. Everybody is talking about things they don't know even know happened.
The vacuum has not stopped President Trump's accusers, who are suggesting there is incriminating evidence of collu-sion the public has not seen. "There are transcripts that provide very helpful, very critical insights into whether or not Russian intelligence or senior Russian political leaders — including Vladimir Putin — were cooperating, were colluding, with the Trump campaign at the highest levels to influence the outcome of our election," Democratic Sen. Chris Coons told MSNBC Friday. "I believe they exist."
The problem, for Coons and other Democrats, is that his belief might not be based in fact. On Saturday, Coons' office released a statement saying he did not mean to suggest "that he is aware of transcripts indicating collusion between
the Trump campaign and the Russians." And on Sunday, facing questions from Fox News' Chris Wallace, Coons went into full retreat.
Wallace asked this: "Do you have any evidence, at this point, and this investiga-tion has been going on for a long period of time ... do you know of any hard evidence of collusion between what I call TrumpWorld and the Russians to inter-fere in this presidential campaign? Not suspicions, not contacts — but evidence of collusion?"
"Chris, I have no hard evidence of collusion," Coons answered. "I think what hard evidence there may be will be discovered either through a full release of President Trump's financial interests and concerns and taxes, or the intercepts that I believe our intelligence community and FBI have of conversations between and among Russian officials."
The Coons "Fox News Sunday" inter-view could prove a revealing moment in the Trump Russia election affair. When Coons admitted that he had seen no evidence of collusion, where did he suggest it might be? In the president's tax returns. Just how that might be possible is not clear. But there is no doubt Democrats work every day to pressure Trump to release his taxes (something candidate Trump broke with tradition by refusing to do). If Democrats come up with a dry hole on the Russia elec-tion matter, they might, like Coons, just seamlessly segue to Trump's taxes.
In the meantime, there are mounting demands for a special prosecutor, or a "9/11-style commission" to investigate an alleged event — TrumpWorld-Russia collusion — that even the nation's top investigators, after months of investiga-tion, don't know actually happened.
To be clear, it's possible that incon-trovertible evidence of collusion exists somewhere in the government's classified investigation machine. It might be that the FBI director, or some other official, will soon release information to settle the question once and for all. But right now, even as there are calls to escalate the investigation, some very knowledgeable people are beginning to admit they know of nothing there.
Recently an anonymous Washington politico told Axios' Mike Allen of the Russia election case, "This is the rare case where the smoke IS the fire." That's clever, but no, the smoke is not the fire. The fire is the fire. And right now, no one seems to know if there is any fire at all.

Information vacuum inside the Trump Russia controversy
Shribman: The Russian revolution, still turning
Dark side of state policy
State lawmakers who face a $3 billion budget deficit likely will look again to expanded state-sanctioned gambling to increase state government revenue.
Possibilities include slot machines at six airports, casino-based internet gambling and online sports fantasy gambling.
Before the legislative croupiers base even more of the state budget on vice to get around tough budgetary and taxation decisions, they finally should seriously consider the negative aspects of gambling.
State law now funnels a small share of gambling proceeds to programs that fight gambling addiction, but the lawmakers clearly consider gambling-caused social dysfunction to be
incidental damage. They rarely have hesitated to expand gambling in search of new classes and generations of gamblers.
About 7 million Americans are addicted gamblers, according to the National Council on Problem Gambling.
Whereas casinos exclude known gambling addicts and the state offers treatment, the state’s relentless gambling expan-sion inevitably creates more addicts. That likely will become even more of a problem if the state facilitates internet and sports fantasy gambling.
March is Problem Gambling Awareness Month, during which lawmakers and Gov. Tom Wolf should consider that gambling expansion is about much more than state revenue.

PLEA & SENTENCE COURT
6 The Punxsutawney Spirit Wednesday, March 8, 2017spirit sportsNHL GMs not pushing for major rule changesBy The Associated Press
NHL general managers want to keep things as they are — for now. But while league officials are fully expecting at least one
rule to cause consternation in the play- offs, general managers opted against recommending changes to it or anything else on the second day of meetings in Boca Raton, Fla., on Tuesday.
"Like anything, it's better to move slow," Arizona Coyotes general manager John Chayka said.
Among the issues of most intrigue was the offside element of the coach's chal-lenge, which was introduced at the start of the 2015-16 season.
Colin Campbell, the NHL's senior executive vice president of hockey opera-tions, said it was almost certain to bubble into controversy during the postseason.
Some calls involving the offside rule have been almost too close to call and there's been murkiness on players raising one leg in the air to avoid drawing an offside charge.
Ultimately, no change was deemed necessary for now.
"It's almost like a hair — is it up or is it not up?" Campbell said. "It's all to get the call right. That's how this whole thing got started, just get the call right. We're trying to get the call right. Can you get it righter than right?
Campbell said there were 100 chal-lenges on offside so far this season, 29 of which related to a player lifting his skate in the air to avoid being offside.
Just nine were overturned and ruled offside, another 20 deemed inconclusive.
The league assumed that the addition of high-definition cameras at the blue line last spring would make the offside aspect of the challenge essentially cut and dried, but it's not been that way so far.
"I don't think we have to change anything," Colorado Avalanche general manager Joe Sakic said. "You grow up as a kid and you know the rule and it is what it is."
Some general managers, however, took issue with calls being ruled inconclusive, arguing that it was either a goal or offside and not a score.
The Edmonton Oilers challenged Vik- tor Arvidsson's goal in late February that saw Arvidsson leap with both legs as the puck crossed the line. On closer review it looked as if the Swede was offside, but the goal was confirmed after a lengthy look by officials and proved to be the eventual game-winner for Nashville.
"But I think it's working," Oilers GM Peter Chiarelli said. "We're working out the kinks."
"It always comes back to the fact that there are over 5,000 offside (calls) and there were nine goals that were disal-lowed that would have been allowed if we change the rule," Chayka said.
Campbell couldn't help but recall those rare instances when a wrong call led to an unfortunate, unforgettable result. He noted the Calgary Flames dropping Game 6 of the 2004 Stanley Cup Final after an apparent Martin Gelinas go-ahead goal was ruled to have not crossed the line.
Calgary was leading the series 3-2 at that point, but lost in seven games to Tampa.
Campbell also mentioned the
Philadelphia Flyers losing the 1980 Stanley Cup Final when Duane Sutter scored a goal in the deciding Game 6 that was clearly offside.
"They don't forget and we don't either, so we want to try to be perfect on every call," Campbell said.
The goaltender interference aspect of the coach's challenge was also reviewed in detail Tuesday with no changes recom-mended.
The five-day "bye week,” instituted for the first time this season, is on the docket for discussion on Wednesday and it's likely to draw some strong opin-ions. Clubs haven't been thrilled with the concept, given its effects on scheduling, practice time and performance, among other things.
Players got the bye week in return for agreeing to the 3-on-3 concept for the 2016 All-Star game.
Buffalo Sabres general manager Tim Murray thought the obvious fix was aligning the bye week by division or conference so that no team had an advan-tage.
"I don't know if there's any cure for it," Murray said. "But that's the best fix."
GMs were told that there was nothing to update as far as NHL players attending the 2018 Olympics. Owners are increas-ingly against the idea, but no final decision has been reached. The group also heard reports on newly implemented concus- sion protocols for this season and the status of updated goaltending equipment.
Further chatter about long-term changes for the game — many of which were tossed around on Monday — are expected before the meetings wrap up today.
Teams mull if backup QBs have what it takes to start
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Matt Hasselbeck is one of the poster boys for success when it comes to backup quar-terbacks changing teams and becoming effective starters in the NFL.
After throwing just 29 passes in his first three seasons as Brett Favre's backup in Green Bay, Hasselbeck spent most of the next 10 years as the starter in Seattle where he made six trips to the playoffs, one Super Bowl and three Pro Bowls.
For every successful example like Hasselbeck or Mark Brunell, there are probably even more busts such as Brock Osweiler, Kevin Kolb and Matt Flynn.
With backups quarterbacks such as Jimmy Garoppolo, Mike Glennon, A.J. McCarron and Colt McCoy possibly on the move this offseason, the task for talent evaluators will be figuring out which group best fits each quarterback.
"One of the things that helped me immensely was the fact that I was Brett Favre's backup for three years," Hasselbeck said. "I really became a better player by playing with him every single day. It's like playing golf with Jordan Spieth every day. You're just going to get better by osmosis."
That was a similar pattern that Brunell followed. After two years as Favre's backup, Brunell was traded to Jacksonville where he made three Pro Bowls and four playoff appearances in eight seasons as starter for the Jaguars.
Hasselbeck believes Garoppolo is in that same mold if a quarterback-needy team tries to trade for him this offseason, even though he has started just two games in his first three seasons as Tom Brady's backup in New England.
Garoppolo has completed 67 percent of his passes with five touchdowns and no interceptions in his limited playing time, with just 94 career attempts, He could cost a team a hefty package, possibly including a first-round pick.
"If I'm trying to get over the hump and find a guy who's going to be the leader of my offensive huddle, you really can't go wrong with how Tom Brady does things. That's what Garoppolo thinks is normal," Hasselbeck said. "When I see him play, he almost looks like Tom Brady with his manner-isms. At the end of the day, you have to evaluate how did this guy take advantage of his opportunity or not take advantage of his opportunities? He certainly has."
But that has been no guarantee of success, as evidenced by the lack of strong resumes for Matt Cassel, Ryan Mallett and Brian Hoyer after stints as Brady's backup.
It's not just New England passers who haven't been able to make the transition from second string to star.
Osweiler spent four years as Peyton Manning's backup in Denver and helped the Broncos earn the top seed in the AFC in 2015 on the way to a Super Bowl title when he got the chance to start. That led to Houston giving Osweiler $37 million in guaranteed money last offseason, only to have him lose the starting job late in the schedule to Tom Savage. The Texans are on the hook for one more year of guaranteed money for Osweiler, but could be in the market for another starter or go with Savage next season despite the lucrative investment.
Osweiler is far from the only quarterback who was a big acquisition for a team after serving behind a star. Flynn was one of the top quarterbacks to change teams in 2012 when he got a $26 million, three-year contract with Seattle based heavily on a six-touchdown performance in the 2011 finale for Green Bay.
Flynn was beaten out for the starting job by rookie Russell Wilson in 2012, was traded the next offseason to Oakland, where he was beaten out once again for the starting job by Terrelle Pryor, who has gone on to have more success as a pass catcher than a thrower.
After starting seven games in four seasons as backup in Philadelphia to Donovan McNabb and Michael Vick, Kolb was dealt to Arizona for starting cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and a second-round pick. He got a $63 million contract, started 14 games in his first two years with the Cardinals before being released.
"The less tape, the harder it is," 49ers coach Kyle Shana- han said. "So, you have to go off what you have. If there's not a lot of tape in pros, you study everything in preseason, you study everything they've done in college, you study every-thing that's available."
Hasselbeck believes his success on a new team was aided by a level of familiarity with Seattle coach Mike Holmgren, who was the coach in Green Bay when Hasselbeck originally signed with the team in 1998.
While Hasselbeck joked that Holmgren might not have even known his name during their season together with the Packers, the ability to run a familiar offense and the trust Holmgren had in coaches and scouts still in Green Bay made for an easier transition.
It also helped that no one viewed him as the potential savior in Seattle like people would if Garoppolo changed teams.
"Mike thought I had potential to be that guy, but there was no one else who thought that," Hasselbeck said. "They were like, 'Who is this guy?' I didn't get the recognition that Jimmy Garoppolo has. There would be a lot of fanfare if a team acquired Jimmy Garoppolo."
WBC matters to players, scheduling issues remainBy Noah Trister, AP Baseball Writer
Victor Martinez was just starting spring training in Florida last month, and already he was feeling the pressure over the
World Baseball Classic. "I don't know, man," the veteran slugger said softly. "I think they're going to have to find a different time to do this."
The Detroit slugger is on the roster for Venezuela, which begins round-robin play in the WBC on Friday night against Puerto Rico. His concerns about the tim- ing of the event aren't exactly unique.
Now over a decade old, this interna-tional tournament featuring some of the game's biggest stars is taking place for the fourth time, but as much as players look forward to the opportunity, it's become increasingly clear that there's no perfect time and format for this type of competition.
"Coming up with a time to do it, I'm sure is the most confounding part for everybody," Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona said. "It's a shame because it's such a great idea, you know like the World Cup in soccer."
With so many great players from all over the world, baseball seems like an ideal sport for this type of tournament, but while the WBC receives plenty of interest in Asia and Latin America, it hasn't totally caught on in the United States, where soccer's World Cup, the Olympic basket-ball and hockey tournaments and even golf's Ryder Cup usually draw a decent amount of anticipation.
"I would like to get the WBC to the point where everyone views it as a premier international event," Commissioner Rob Manfred said a few weeks ago at a spring training event. "I'm going to both Korea and Japan. One of the reasons I'm making that trip is, in those countries, tremendous support and interest in this event, and we need to make sure we get the same kind of interest and support
here in the United States. I think the key to that is having a competitive, successful team from the United States."
In Tokyo on Tuesday, Manfred pushed back against the idea that the WBC's future is shaky, pointing out how popular the event is around the world. Perhaps it would be taken more seriously in the U.S. if the Americans fared better — they've never finished higher than fourth.
This year's U.S. roster, managed by Jim Leyland, includes big names such as Andrew McCutchen, Giancarlo Stanton and Paul Goldschmidt. The pitching staff, however, is lacking quite a few stars.
"We're missing a lot of the best pitchers that we have," said U.S. second baseman Ian Kinsler of the Tigers. "You look at (Clayton) Kershaw and David Price and Chris Sale and Rick Porcello and (Justin) Verlander. You could go on and on."
None of those aces are on the staff, which underscores one of the event's biggest challenges — avoiding wear and tear on pitchers who have a long major league season to worry about. In this era of innings limits and heightened sensi-tivity to pitch counts, everyone's workload is an issue .
There are rules in place at the WBC limiting pitch counts, but while those restrictions can protect pitchers from overuse, they also contribute to the sense that the top players aren't able to com- pete at their highest level in this tour-nament — which is unfortunate, since players do seem genuinely excited about the chance to participate.
"When the guys get on their teams with their fellow countrymen, and they put on the uniforms, they want to win," said Brad Ausmus, who managed Israel's WBC team before being hired by Detroit in 2013. "It's not an exhibition. There's a lot of pride that's involved."
Ausmus and Kinsler both wondered about the possibility of playing the WBC
in the middle of the season, with the major leagues taking time off the way the NHL has done for the Olympics. Max Scherzer, who was supposed to pitch in the WBC this year but had to pull out because of a knuckle injury, figures that's unlikely.
"The only way to actually make it more popular is if you were to pause the actual MLB season. That's the only way to have all the best players playing at the same time for their countries," Scherzer said. "But given the format of the season, no one is going to agree to that, because you're going to have to take 25 days off to be able to do that."
Indeed, one problem is that baseball doesn't necessarily lend itself to shorter tournaments. The major league regular season is often described as a marathon, not a sprint, and the World Series is best- of-seven, not single elimination. If the WBC was condensed too much, it might be even harder to build fan interest. Shorter tournaments can yield flukier results — that, as much as anything, might explain the U.S. team's disap-pointing track record.
Martinez had an unusual idea. He suggested that spring training could start earlier in WBC years, perhaps at the beginning of February. That would give those participating in the tournament more time to prepare. Martinez was concerned that players wouldn't have enough time to get ready this year — which is a problem for the Venezuelans, given how much pressure they're under to play their best.
"In spring training, you start playing four or five innings, two or three at-bats, and you're out," Martinez said. "If we treat (the WBC) as spring training, we play four or five innings, take everybody out and put another team there — they gonna blow us up. It's the truth."
"It's not fair for our fans, for our- selves," Martinez added. "You have to turn on the switch a little too soon."
Location is everything for a World Golf Championships eventBy Doug FergusonAP Golf Writer
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Some of the loudest cheers from the Mexico Champion- ship came before it even started. The shrieks began when British Open champion Henrik Stenson finished his practice round on the 18th green and hundreds of fans, most of them children, called out his name in a way he most likely never had heard it pro- nounced. Next up was Jordan Spieth and Phil Mickelson, followed by Rory McIlroy, who all stopped to sign auto-graphs for them.
Seeing them on television doesn't make them real. See- ing them in person does.
Moments like this is why the week at Chapultepec Golf Club was such a success, and it sure didn't hurt that Dustin Johnson was at his world-class best by overcoming a frustrating week on the greens to win his fourth World Golf Championships title.
The World Golf Cham- pionships were launched in 1999 to not only bring together the best players from six tours around the world, but to showcase these players to different parts of the world. They had gotten away from that.
In a roundabout way, that might have been one of Donald Trump's most under-rated contributions to golf. Because he brought so much
attention to himself at Trump Doral — this was the case even before he successfully ran for president — the PGA Tour had trouble finding a corporate sponsor that wanted to pay some $15 million a year and share the stage with the owner of the golf course.
Grupo Salinas and Mexico stepped in with plans that go beyond staging a golf tourna-ment.
"We needed to get these heroes in Mexico, and get the kids to feel it and live it," said Benjamin Salinas, chief exec-utive of TV Azteca and the son of Grupo Salinas founder Ricardo Salinas. "Kids are our main objective here. If the kids start really liking these guys and wanting to emulate them ... this is why we had a Mexican player (Roberto Diaz), so these guys can look at him and said, 'I can be that guy.'
"Signing caps and balls, they're going to treasure it forever," he said. "This is not a thing you're going to see on eBay."
The last time this WGC had been played outside the Uni- ted State was in 2006 at The Grove in the London sub- urbs.
One afternoon, a young British lad pressed up against the ropes by the putting green. Stewart Cink came over to sign his program, and the boy looked up at him with wide eyes. Cink was three years away from winning the Brit-
ish Open, but he had played on three Ryder Cup teams. And he was close enough for the boy to touch him.
Location really is every-thing.
"What happened here this week was huge," Diaz said. "It's an opportunity for the kids to learn and see the way these guys play."
The Mexico Championship — for now, the only WGC without the sponsor's name in the tournament — is under contract for six more years. Its position on the schedule broke up the Florida swing, and that will be the case next year before it likely will fall between the West Coast and Florida.
It is off to a great start, especially with a leaderboard that featured Justin Thomas, Johnson, Mickelson and Mc- Ilroy going into Sunday.
The work is just starting outside the gates of Chap- ultepec.
Mexico has only 200 golf courses, none of them public. Salinas has a big goal of having at least one public course in each state, more in the fourth most populated city in the world. He made it clear that it would take cooperation from the govern-ment (land), private business (funding) and the PGA Tour (instruction).
"All three parts have to work together," he said. "If one of those is missing, it will not work."
Among those at the tour-nament Sunday was Lorena Ochoa, Mexico's greatest player, who will be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame later this year.
"Any time you have the best players in any sport in your country, you should be proud and take advantage of the opportunity," Ochoa said. "For the little boys and girls, they are not afraid of dreaming. A tournament like this, you can change lives."
The move from Trump Doral to Mexico was an after-thought once the tournament started, though there was curious anticipation at a news conference of mostly Mex- ican media when PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan was asked for his opinion on the "situation" between Mex- ico and the United States.
"We're not here in Mexico for political reasons," Mona- han said. "So I don't think it's particularly pertinent or rele- vant for me to make any comments other than we are extraordinarily proud to be here, have been proud since the moment we announced it, proud to have a long-term commitment and proud to have a showcase here with the world's best players that's going to reach a billion people and tell the story of the relationship between this great game and this great country."
The room erupted in ap- plause.
Mount St. Mary's beats Saint Francis 71-61 to win NEC championship, NCAA bid
EMMITSBURG, Md. (AP) — Elijah Long scored 24 points, Junior Robinson added 22 and Mount St. Mary's rallied past Saint Francis University 71-61 Tuesday night to win the Northeast Conference championship and earn an automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament.
Down 31-23 at halftime after going 0 for 10 from beyond the arc, the top-seeded Mountaineers opened the second half with a 22-3 run that included a pair of 3-pointers from Long.
Mount St. Mary's (19-15) coasted from there. After the final buzzer sounded, the team piled over each another at midcourt to celebrate its first trip to the NCAA Tournament since 2014.
Fourth-seeded Saint Francis (16-16) reached the title game with a 71-70 semifinal win over No. 3 seed Wagner 71-70, a game decided by Keith Braxton's 3-point shot at the buzzer. There were no such heroics this time for the Red Flash, who got only seven points from Braxton in their bid to earn a place in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1991.
Isaiah Blackmon led Saint Francis with 17 points. The Red Flash missed 10 of 17 free throws and was 3 for 16 from beyond the arc before hitting its last three attempts in the final minutes.
Hosting the NEC championship game for the first time, the Mountaineers drew a standing-room only crowd at Knott Arena. The fans started lining up outside two hours before the opening tip, and they stuck around long after the final buzzer.
Miles Wilson scored 15 points for the Mountaineers, who outscored Saint Francis 48-30 in the second half. The Mount went 3-0 against the Red Flash this season, winning the last games by a combined 29 points.
Saint Francis got off to a miserable start, going 3 for 11 from the floor with six turnovers while falling behind 17-8. The deficit reached 10 points before Jamaal King scored nine points in a 20-2 run that put Saint Francis in front 29-21.
At that point, an upset seemed possible. The second half, however, was altogether different.
After playing catch-up for the latter part of the opening half, the Mountaineers got six points from Long and five points from Robinson to pull even at 31. Minutes later, Wilson drilled successive three-pointers and added a layup in an 11-0 spurt that made it 45-34.

Pitt pushes GA Tech off bubble at ACC tourneyNEW YORK (AP) — Three days after
being scolded with a seat on the bench to start a game, Pitt’s senior leaders respon- ded by playing with the type of urgency coach Kevin Stallings was hoping to see.
With their renewed effort, the Panthers might have pushed Georgia Tech off the NCAA bubble.
Michael Young scored 17 points and Jamel Artis added 11 points and nine rebounds as Pittsburgh rode its top two players to a 61-59 victory against Georgia Tech on Tuesday night in the first round on the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament.
The 14th-seeded Panthers (16-16) play sixth-seeded and No. 21 Virginia on Wednesday night at Barclays Center.
No. 11 seed Georgia Tech (17-15) closed the season losing four of five, putting its hopes of earning a bid to the NCAA Tournament in peril.
“I still believe eight wins in this league deserves to be in the NCAA Tournament, being this is the best league in the country,” Georgia Tech coach Josh Pastner said. “However, I know it could still be a longshot. We’re going to keep our fingers crossed.”
Artis and Young were kept out of the starting lineup and on the bench for the first 10 minutes of Pitt’s season-finale loss to Virginia on Saturday for what Stallings called a violation of team rules.
“I thought we were a more together basketball team tonight than we had been in a while. Put it that way,” Stallings said. “And I thought that togetherness carried us through to win, even though you look down and we’re six of 23 from three, and we have almost twice as many turnovers as they have.”
The team’s top two scorers returned to starting five and hit some big shots late.
Young gave Pitt the lead with a 3 with 4:00 left in the second half. After Georgia Tech tied it at 51 moments later, Artis dropped in a 3 — his only make in eight attempts from long range — that made it 54-51 Pitt.
“It was a great feeling to see the ball go in at that point in time, because I knew it was very crucial. My team needed that,” Artis said.
Young leaned in for two more with a minute left to make it 56-51 and Artis made a couple of free throws with 43 seconds left to put Pitt up seven.
Georgia Tech had a last chance to go the length of the court with 1.4 seconds left, but a long inbounds pass was deflected away by the Panthers.
“We believe, our coaches believe, this whole program believe that we can do something special in this tournament,” Young said.
BIG PICTUREPittsburgh: Stallings said he was trying
to build culture when he sat his seniors in the season finale. Time will tell, but the immediate results were positive.
“I think that they kind of took it upon themselves to approach this a little bit differently, a little better,” Stallings said. “Our practice sessions were really good and productive leading up to this game. They were better than they had been in a couple weeks probably.”
Georgia Tech: While Pastner’s first season at Georgia Tech has to qualify as a success — the Yellow Jackets were expected to be the worst team in the ACC — the ending will sting. The Yellow Jackets had wins against North Carolina, Florida State and Notre Dame, and Past- ner won ACC coach of the year. Losses to North Carolina State and Pitt down the stretch will likely mean seventh straight season without an NCAA bid.
“I just think towards the end (of the season) there, you know, we milked every-thing we could out of the guys,” Pastner said. “Literally, every ounce of energy.”
UP NEXTPittsburgh: The Panthers beat Virginia
the first time they played in January, but were routed 67-42 in Charlottesville.
“We can beat any team in this tourna-ment right here. We’ve just got to play up to our potential,” Artis said.
Georgia Tech: The Yellow Jackets will probably be relegated to the NIT.
WASHINGTON (AP) — As part of an ongoing effort to broaden its scope, the Big Ten will converge a few blocks from the White House this week to crown a new basketball cham-pion.
Long a fixture in the Midwest, the Big Ten Tournament will be held in the nation's capital for the first time.
"It's going to be some big-time basketball," Maryland coach Mark Turgeon said. "We're just glad we get to do it in our back-yard, which should be fun."
By adding Maryland and Rutgers to the conference in 2014, the Big Ten formally extended its footprint to the East Coast. This year's tournament, which runs from Wednesday to Sunday, will be held at Verizon Center. Next year's tourney will be held at Madison Square Garden in New York.
"It really is an example of a traditional conference that continues to change," Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany said in October, when all 14 teams gathered in Washington for Media Day. "Our actions are aligned with our plans. This is a very important part of the country for us."
Maryland, Rutgers and Penn State (which joined in 1990) will have the luxury of traveling to the tournament by bus.
"We're excited about not having to get on a plane," Turgeon said. "It's great for our fans."
Third-seed Maryland doesn't play until Friday night. The Terrapins have already sold their entire allotment of tickets, and the local contingent could increase over the weekend.
"Terp fans have been trying to snatch up tickets," Turgeon said. "If we're lucky enough to advance, our crowds will continue to grow."
Home court advantage? Quite possibly."Especially since the rest of us are coming so far," Michigan
State coach Tom Izzo said of Maryland's advantage. "It's pretty exciting for them, and maybe incentive for their fans and them to get to the semifinals and finals, no question about it."
Purdue, the regular season champion, has won eight of nine. The Boilermakers, along with Wisconsin, Maryland and Minnesota, have double-byes before starting play. The tour-nament gets underway Wednesday afternoon with 12th-seed Nebraska facing No. 13 Penn State, followed by 11th-seeded
Ohio State taking on No. 14 Rutgers.Some things to know about the 2017 Big Ten Tournament:PARITY PREVAILS: Purdue (14-4 in conference play) is
the obvious favorite, but eight teams won at least 10 Big Ten games. "Crazy things happen in the tournament," Boilermakers coach Matt Painter said. "Anybody can beat anybody." True enough. Michigan beat Purdue by 12 on Feb. 25, Maryland's lost to Nebraska and Penn State, and Wisconsin dropped three in a row before hammering Minnesota on Sunday. "The tournament is wide open," Izzo said, "more so than it's ever been."
DAUNTING TASK: The four teams playing Wednesday night face the prospect of winning five straight to capture the tournament. Last-place Rutgers is the long-shot, but at least the Scarlet Knights are coming off a victory against Illinois. "It was a win was desperately needed," coach Steve Pikiell said. "We can get down there with a little bit of a positive vibe." Penn State and Nebraska have little reason to be upbeat. The Nittany Lions have dropped five straight and the Cornhuskers have lost their last four.
ON WISCONSIN: The Badgers secured the No. 2 seed by getting back on track against Minnesota. "It's a credit to our guys, not giving in," said coach Greg Gard, whose team will face either Iowa or Indiana. The Badgers swept Indiana and lost to the Hawkeyes 59-57 last Thursday.
HEY, WE'RE GOOD: Only three Big Ten schools are ranked in the Top 25 (No. 13 Purdue, No. 24 Wisconsin and No. 25 Maryland). For those who believe the conference is enduring a down year because there is no elite team, Izzo has this to say: "Parity doesn't mean poor. Sometimes parity means we're deeper top to bottom." Northwestern coach Chris Collins expects the Big Ten to shine in the NCAA Tournament. "I think we've been very undersold during the season," he said.
REVERSAL OF FORM: After finishing 8-23 last season, Minnesota (23-8) earned the No. 4 seed and is headed to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2013. The Golden Gophers would love to advance as Big Ten champs, but it's been a heck of a season no matter what happens this week. "These guys had no ego. They truly just cared about winning," coach Richard Pitino said.
PIAA Wrestling Championships to feature 12 title winnersBy ken Wunderly, associated Press
The 80th Annual PIAA Wrestling Championships feature 12 wres-tlers who have won at least one title, including a three-time
champ, a pair of two-time champs, and two champs in the same weight class.
Competition begins Thursday morning at the Giant Center in Hershey with 560 wrestlers vying for 28 titles in two clas-sifications.
Franklin Regional senior Spencer Lee (32-0) has a chance to join the PIAA's two most elite groups. Lee enters the Class AAA 126-pound weight class as a three-time returning champion who boasts a perfect 141-0 career record.
Only 12 wrestlers have won four PIAA titles in 79 years of competition. And only five of those four-time champions finished their scholastic career unbeaten. Lee needs four more wins to join both groups.
"There have been only five undefeated four-time state champs," said Lee, who is also a three-time world champion and considered the best high school wrestler in the country. "I want to be the sixth. I set that goal when I was in sixth grade."
Lee is one of five returning champions in the PIAA Class AAA Tournament. The others are: Cameron Coy, Julian Chlebove,
Michael Labriola, and Jake Woodley.Coy (34-0), a Penn-Trafford senior
entered at 152 pounds, is a three-time PIAA finalist and two-time champ. He was the 132-pound champ as a freshman, placed second at 138 as a sophomore, and claimed a second title last year at 145.
"I wasn't as dominant as I could have been (last week) at the Southwest Regional," Coy said. "I will have to wrestle better at the state tournament."
Chlebove (34-1), a Northampton soph-omore, has moved up to 120 after win- ning at 113 last year.
Labriola (39-0), a Bethlehem Catholic senior, is a three-time PIAA medalist who returns at 170 as the defending champion.
Woodley (46-2), a North Allegheny senior, claimed a gold medal at 182 last year and is now competing at 195.
The PIAA Class AA Tournament features seven returning champions, including Jefferson-Morgan junior Gavin Teasdale (36-0), who has won titles at 106 and 113. He returns at 126 with a perfect 118-0 career record.
"I've looked up to Cary Kolat since I started wrestling," Teasdale said. "Cary won four PIAA titles and went undefeated in his career at Jefferson-Morgan. When I made it to the varsity as a freshman, I set my goal to become a four-time state champion."
The 138-pound weight class features two returning champions: Central Cam- bria senior Max Murin (36-0) and Reyn- olds junior Cole Matthews (40-1). Both were champs in 2015.
Murin won at 113 as a sophomore, then placed second at 126 last year. Matthews won at 120 as a freshman, then placed third last year at 126 last year.
"Last year, I was more worried about losing," Murin said. "This year, I'm more confident. My focus is on scoring points and beating my opponent. It doesn't matter who I wrestle."
Murin and Matthews were among three returning champions entered at 126 last year. All three were beaten by Brian Courtney (39-2), an Athens senior who returns at 132 pounds with hopes of claiming a second title.
The other three Class AA returning champs are: Jacob Oliver, Gavin Hoffman, and Cole Nye.
Oliver (40-1), a Huntingdon senior, is a three-time medalist and two-time finalist who placed second at 152 as a sophomore and first at 170 last year. He returns at 170.
Hoffman (38-1), a Montoursville junior, is back to defend the title he won last year at 195. Nye (41-5), a Harrisburg Bishop McDevitt senior, is the defending champ at 220.
N. Kentucky beats Milwaukee 59-53, earns NCAA Tournament bidDETROIT (AP) — Lavone
Holland's body was pressed against the court and he became the base of a celebra-tory pile of teammates.
Holland scored 20 points to help Northern Kentucky hold off Milwaukee for a 59-53 win Tuesday night in the Hori- zon League final, putting the school in the NCAA Tournament in its first season of eligibility.
"It has always been a dream of mine to be in one of those piles," Holland said after getting upright on the court, sporting a champion-ship cap with a clipped piece of a basketball net tied into the back clasp. "And, it's a dream come true for that to happen after winning a game that puts us in the NCAA Tournament."
The fourth-seeded Norse (24-10) are in their fifth season of Division I basketball, but had to wait until this year to have a shot to earn a spot in
college basketball's showcase."We got another game to
play," Drew McDonald said after finishing with 14 points and 12 rebounds. "I got the chills just thinking about it."
Jim McMillan, the first recruit for the school's inau-gural basketball team that debuted during the 1971-72 season, waited in a long line to congratulate Northern Kentucky coach John Brannen on the court after the game
below the banner-filled rafters at the home of the Detroit Red Wings.
"Thank you! Thank you!" McMillan told Brannen after giving him a hug. "I've been waiting 35 years for this."
Tenth-seeded Milwaukee (11-24) was a win away from having the most losses in NCAA Tournament history, which has had three 20-loss teams in its history: Cal Poly (2014), Liberty (2013) and
Coppin State (2008)."I think it was an inspira-
tion," Panthers coach LaVall Jordan said. "I know for people in the Milwaukee community, our university and our city, it inspired a lot of belief when you are down and nobody thinks you can."
By making the NCAA Tournament, the Norse have made this a special season and any success they have from here will be a bonus.

Jackie Chan says Hollywoodcompetition means better China films
BEIJING (AP) — Jackie Chan says letting more Hollywood movies into the Chinese market would pressure Chinese film-makers to make better films.
China sets a quota on the number of foreign movies allowed to be shown in the country, trying to fend off a cinematic wave that could swamp local filmmakers and loosen the ruling Communist Party's grip on culture.
However, competition can be good, Chan said."It is this pressure that makes our filmmakers work harder
and shoot better films," Chan told reporters at a news confer-ence in Beijing on Tuesday. "If we had shot our own films behind closed doors without any competition, we wouldn't have had the growth in box office we have today."
The Hong Kong action star is a member of the official advi-sory body to the national legislature, which is meeting this week in the Chinese capital.
Negotiators from China and the U.S. are expected to reach a new agreement this year on how many foreign films to allow into China, now the world's the second-biggest movie market after North America. An expanded quota would mean more competition for domestic films, which last year accounted for 58 percent of the total box office, or 26.7 billion yuan ($3.8 billion).
In 2012, then-Vice President Xi Jinping and then-U.S. Vice President Joe Biden negotiated a five-year deal to allow 34 foreign films to be shown in Chinese cinemas each year on a revenue-sharing basis. State media reports have suggested that a new deal could see the quota increased by 10 films or more.
In addition to the quota, a handful of extra Hollywood movies were let in last year to try to boost a disappointing slowdown in box office receipts.
Apart from expanding the quota, Hollywood executives hope to increase their share of ticket sales in China from the current 25 percent. They receive 40 percent of ticket revenues in other markets. It's unclear how much effort President Donald Trump's administration will put into promoting Hollywood's interests in China. Trump has been criticized by various Hollywood stars and fired off his own insults at others.
Hollywood film on couple whosaved Jews premiering in Poland
WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Hollywood actress Jessica Chastain and the female director of her new movie, are cele-brating both the strength and the tenderness of women.
Chastain, director Niki Caro, and other actors were in Warsaw Tuesday for a gala screening of the movie “The Zookeeper’s Wife.”
It tells the real-life story of the World War II director of the Warsaw zoo, Jan Zabinski, and of his wife Antonina, who jointly saved up to 300 Jews, hiding them in their home on the zoo grounds and in animal enclosures, risking their own lives and those of their two children. Shot in Prague, Czech Republic, the movie opens in theaters March 31.
Two-time Academy Award nominee Chastain, who plays Antonina Zabinska, told a news conference she felt “so inspired” by the story of human kindness “that we need so much today.”
She said it was exciting to play how Antonina, initially unsure of herself, “is left alone at the house and given all this responsibility for caring for all these people and to protect them she grows into herself,” until by the end of the movie she is an equal with her husband.
The nicest part, however, was working with the animals.With a female elephant they had a “little game with apples.”“I would hide the apples round the set and she, with the
trunk would come over and try to find the apples on me,” Chastain said. “That was the best part, playing the games with the animals.”
Caro said the movie turned out to be a very contemporary one, with an important message to everyone.
The Zabinskis did the “right thing,” which she found very inspiring, to “act, to stand up, to act out of the highest vision of ourselves.”
She said she would like to see more female heroes who are genuinely feminine and complex, rather than “Lara Croft guy-characters with sexy bodies.”
Both women said they will take part in a march to mark International Women’s Day in Warsaw on Wednesday. Actors Daniel Bruhl and Johan Heldenbergh, who also star in the movie, said they will join them.
Earlier in the day the crew visited the Zabinskis’ villa. A gala screening preceded by a red-carpet ceremony is to take place at a cinema at Warsaw’s landmark Palace of Culture and Science Tuesday evening. The movie is based on a book by American author Diane Ackerman, published in 2007, which revealed the story to the world.
Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, LittleBig Town to perform at ACMs
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Luke Bryan, Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town and Maren Morris will perform at the 52nd annual Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas on April 2.
The first round of performers was announced Tuesday. The show will also feature a performance by pop group the Backstreet Boys and Florida Georgia Line. It will be the first time that the Backstreet Boys have appeared on the country awards show.
Florida Georgia Line and the Backstreet Boys collaborated on Florida Georgia Line’s “God, Your Mama, and Me.” They will also perform together at three stadium tour dates this summer in Boston, Chicago and Minneapolis.
The show, which will air live on CBS from the T-Mobile Arena, will be co-hosted by Bentley and Bryan.

GOP health care bill rippedby Wolf, Pennsylvania hospitals
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf's administration and Pennsylvania's hospitals slammed a Republican plan in Congress to replace former President Barack Obama's health care law and on Tuesday described broad ripple effects that would shift health care costs to states, hospitals and the poor.
Wolf said it would leave fewer people insured and hurt coverage for the elderly, the disabled and people seeking addiction treatment in the midst of a drug epidemic. He urged Pennsylvania's members of Congress — which includes the nation's third-biggest delegation of Republicans — to reject the bill.
"This is a bad plan that would leave thousands of Pennsylvania seniors and families unable to afford access to basic medical care coverage," Wolf said in a statement.
The Hospital and Healthsystem Association of Pennsyl- vania said the proposal would jeopardize gains in coverage and improvements to access to care made under the 2010 Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare.
Tuesday's criticism came a day after Republicans unveiled the bill. The first House committee votes were scheduled for Wednesday.
Overall, the hospital association and governor said the Republican bill threatens coverage not only for more than 1 million Pennsylvanians who gained it under the existing law, but for another 2 million on Medicaid.
In Pennsylvania, 2.7 million of the state's 12.8 million residents are on Medicaid, or more than one in five. That in- cludes children, nursing home patients and the disabled. Some 700,000 are covered under the law's expansion of income guidelines to cover low-income working adults. Meanwhile, more than 340,000 Pennsylvanians quali-fied for a tax subsidy to help pay for a 2017 policy through the government's Healthcare.gov insurance market- place.
The hospital association said the bill's proposed tax credits do not match the support currently provided for the working poor through Healthcare.gov's subsidies.
It also said the GOP bill would renege on a deal hospi-tals had accepted in the 2010 law by leaving intact cuts to Medicaid reimbursements while dropping the federal govern-ment's financial commitment to a Medicaid coverage expan-sion.
Wolf's secretary for the Department of Health and Human Services, Ted Dallas, said ending the Medicaid expansion would leave Pennsylvania with a $2.1 billion budget hole, or about 7 percent of the state's proposed $31.5 billion budget this year.
The bill would end the more generous federal Medicaid match for new expansion enrollees starting in 2020. The expansion covers working adults who earn up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, or about $16,640 a year.
Imposing new cost-sharing provisions or limits on the program's benefits would not make up for the loss of federal funding and, without a new source of revenue, the state would have to start cutting off people from the Medicaid expansion rolls, Dallas said.
A more fundamental change to Medicaid, said Dallas, would be the bill's imposition of a limited, per-beneficiary amount based on enrollment and costs for all enrollees.
"It would have devastating consequences for a state like Pennsylvania, which is graying and getting older," Dallas said.
Wolf's insurance commissioner, Teresa Miller, said the Republican bill does nothing to stop the increasing cost of health care and could further destabilize insurance markets. Even if premiums are lower, cost-sharing provisions will be unaffordable when someone does need medical care, Miller said.
"If you're wealthy and healthy, then you're going to do well," Miller said. But, she said, "when people go to get care, that's when you're going to get hit."
Bacon, soda & too few nuts tied to large portion of US deathsCHICAGO (AP) — Gorging on bacon, skimping on nuts?
These are among food habits that new research links with deaths from heart disease, strokes and diabetes.
Overeating or not eating enough of the 10 foods and nutrients contributes to nearly half of U.S. deaths from these causes, the study suggests.
"Good" foods that were under-eaten include: nuts and seeds, seafood rich in omega-3 fats including salmon and sardines; fruits and vegetables; and whole grains.
"Bad" foods or nutrients that were over-eaten include salt and salty foods; processed meats including bacon, bologna and hot dogs; red meat including steaks and hamburgers; and sugary drinks.
The research is based on U.S. government data showing there were about 700,000 deaths in 2012 from heart disease, strokes and diabetes and on an analysis of national health surveys that asked participants about their eating habits. Most didn't eat the recommended amounts of the foods studied.
The 10 ingredients combined contributed to about 45 percent of those deaths, according to the study.
It may sound like a familiar attack on the typical American diet, and the research echoes previous studies on the benefits of heart-healthy eating. But the study goes into more detail on specific foods and their risks or benefits, said lead author Renata Micha, a public health researcher and nutritionist at Tufts University.
The results were published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Micha said the 10 foods and nutrients were singled out be- cause of research linking them with the causes of death studied. For example, studies have shown that excess salt can increase blood pressure, putting stress on arteries and the heart. Nuts contain healthy fats that can improve cholesterol levels, while bacon and other processed meats contain saturated fats that can raise levels of unhealthy LDL cholesterol.
In the study, too much salt was the biggest problem, linked with nearly 10 percent of the deaths. Overeating processed meats and undereating nuts, seeds and seafood each were linked with about eight percent of the deaths.
The Food and Drug Administration's recent voluntary so- dium reduction guidelines for makers of processed foods and taxes that some U.S. cities have imposed on sugar-sweet- ened beverages are steps in the right direction, Micha said.
A journal editorial said public health policies targeting un- healthy eating could potentially help prevent some deaths, while noting that the study isn't solid proof that "suboptimal" diets were deadly.
The study's recommended amounts, based on U.S. govern-ment guidelines, nutrition experts' advice, and amounts found to be beneficial or harmful in previous research.
"Good" ingredients— Fruits: 3 average-sized fruits daily— Vegetables: 2 cups cooked or 4 cups raw vegetables daily— Nuts/seeds: 5 one-ounce servings per week — about 20
nuts per serving— Whole grains: 2½ daily servings— Polyunsaturated fats, found in many vegetable oils: 11
percent of daily calories—Seafood: about 8 ounces weekly"Bad" ingredients— Red meat: 1 serving weekly — 1 medium steak or the
equivalent— Processed meat: None recommended— Sugary drinks: None recommended— Salt: 2,000 milligrams daily — just under a teaspoon.
WikiLeaks reveals CIA files describing hacking tools
WASHINGTON (AP) — WikiLeaks published thousands of documents Tuesday described as secret files about CIA hacking tools the government employs to break into users' computers, mobile phones and even smart TVs from companies like Apple, Google, Microsoft and Samsung.
The documents describe clandestine methods for bypassing or defeating encryption, antivirus tools and other protective security features intended to keep the private information of citizens and corporations safe from prying eyes. U.S. govern-ment employees, including President Donald Trump, use many of the same products and internet services purportedly compro-mised by the tools.
The documents describe CIA efforts — cooperating with friendly foreign governments and the U.S. National Security Agency — to subvert the world's most popular technology plat-forms, including Apple's iPhones and iPads, Google's Android phones and the Microsoft Windows operating system for desktop computers and laptops.
The documents also include discussions about compromising some internet-connected televisions to turn them into listening posts. One document discusses hacking vehicle systems, indi-cating the CIA's interest in hacking modern cars with sophisti-cated on-board computers.
WikiLeaks has a long track record of releasing top secret government documents, and experts who sifted through the material said it appeared legitimate.
The chairman of the House intelligence committee, Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., said he was very concerned about the release and had asked the intelligence community for more information about it.
Former CIA Director Mike Hayden told MSNBC he had undertaken only a cursory review of the documents, but that if they were what they were purported to be, it would amount to a "very extensive file of the tactics, techniques, procedures, targets and other political rules" under which the CIA hacks targets. "If it is that, it would be very, very damaging," he said.
Jonathan Liu, a spokesman for the CIA, said: "We do not comment on the authenticity or content of purported intelli-gence documents." White House spokesman Sean Spicer also declined comment.
US moves controversial missile defense to South Korea
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — U.S. missile launchers and other equipment needed to set up a controversial missile defense system have arrived in South Korea, the U.S. and South Korean mili-taries said Tuesday, a day after North Korea test-fired four ballistic missiles into the ocean near Japan.
The plans to deploy the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense system, or THAAD, within this year have angered not only North Korea, but also China and Russia, which see the system's powerful radars as a security threat.
China responded quickly, saying it will take "necessary measures" to protect itself and warning that the U.S. and South Korea should be prepared to bear the consequences.
Washington and Seoul say the system is defensive and not meant to be a threat to Beijing or Moscow. The U.S. military said THAAD can inter-cept and destroy short and medium-range ballistic missiles during the last part of their flights.
"Continued provocative actions by North Korea, to include yesterday's launch of multiple missiles, only confirm the prudence of our alliance decision last year to deploy THAAD to South Korea," Adm. Harry Harris, head of the U.S. Pacific Command, said in a statement.
Some South Korean liberal presi-dential candidates have said that the security benefits of having THAAD would be curtailed by worsened rela-tions with neighbors China and Russia.
"China firmly opposes the deploy-ment of THAAD," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said at a regular briefing Tuesday. "We will definitely be taking necessary measures to safeguard our own security interest. All consequences entailed from that will be borne by the U.S. and (South Korea). We once again strongly urge the relevant sides to stop the process of deployment and refrain from going further down that wrong path."

George S. Kaufman, who, inter alia, wrote some musicals for the Marx Brothers,
said, “I understand your new play is full of single entendre.”
In today’s deal, North should sing loudly about a single feature of his hand. After he opens one diamond and South responds one spade, what should North rebid?
North is just worth game, but there is a better bid than four spades. He should jump to four clubs. This is a splinter bid showing four-card spade support, game-going values and a singleton (or void) in clubs — near-perfect!
Suddenly, South sees that he has no club losers. He might jump straight to six spades, but perhaps should content himself
with five spades, which North ought to raise with such good red suits — South must have excellent trumps to be slam-ming without all of those red honors.
How did declarer plan the play after West led the spade jack?
South saw that he needed trumps to be 3-2 and to have some luck in the red suits. However, there were transpor-tation difficulties, and he did not want to rely on a red-suit finesse.
Declarer spotted an unusu-ally good line. He won the first trick with the spade ace, cashed the club ace and ruffed a club. The next card he called for surprised everyone at the table, particularly East: dummy’s diamond 10. East took this with his queen and returned a second trump, but declarer won in his hand, ruffed another club, cashed the top hearts, ruffed a heart, drew West’s last trump and claimed. He took four spades, two hearts, three diamonds, one club and two club ruffs.
Sense & Sensitivity ...
DEAR HARRIETTE: I am extremely lactose intolerant, and my workplace thankfully recognizes this. On Pizza Fridays, there is always a cheese-
less pie ordered for me. Recently, I have been coming to lunch realizing that my pie is gone.
My co-workers have gushed over how all of the vegetables without cheese taste great. I am happy for them, but they are indulging in the only food that I can eat — whereas they can sample any pie they want. Is there any way to ask my co-workers to stop eating restricted food? — Lunchless, Los Angeles
DEAR LUNCHLESS: You started a trend! Rather than pressuring your co-workers into keeping their paws off of your pizza, ask the lunch organizer to add a second cheese-free pie to the order. Point out that the group has taken a fancy to your yummy veggies to the extent that they have eaten it all before you got even a slice. Obviously, this means that the cheeseless pizza is a big hit. Urge your employer to replace one of the cheesy pizzas with another one like yours!
DEAR HARRIETTE: I am a landlord in a suburb. As a thank-you for extending the rent due date, one of my tenants gave me a gift of homemade sausage. I was so stunned that I accepted it without asking any questions. It now just sits in my freezer, untouched. Am I allowed to prod my tenant about the contents of this present? I normally wouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth; however, I think this situation
would allow me to bend the etiquette rules. — Lonely Links, Near Pittsburgh
DEAR LONELY LINKS: One way to ask about the sausage without seeming rude is to express your true curiosity. Strike up a conversation with your tenant and ask about the whole process. Making sausage at home is not something that is commonly done these days. Ask about the process and the selection of ingredients. Certainly you can ask what type of sausage you were given. This shouldn’t be so unusual a question, given that today there are so many variations on sausages in the regular grocery store that who knows what a creative cook might make?
Your attitude going into this conversation is what will make all the difference as it relates to the way your tenant reacts. Be open and inter-ested rather than skeptical and worried. This is an opportunity for the two of you to get to know each other better — bonding around food.
Know that you will be asked if you have consumed the sausage yet. Be honest and say that you haven’t. Admit that you wanted to learn about the sausage before cooking it because you wanted to savor the sausage with the full story of how it was made in mind. If, after you learn about the way it was made, you decide you don’t want to eat it, do not say that to your tenant. This is where a little white lie might be better. Or perhaps you can share it with a friend who would enjoy it. Then you can say you did that, and it was a big hit!

Lovina's Amish Kitchen: Just an ordinary day? The comings and goings of the Eicher family
By Lovina Eicher
Diary of March 1, 2017:• 3:10 a.m. — The
alarm rings — time to get up and prepare Joe’s lunch. I make a pot of coffee. Joe always likes a mug of coffee to drink on his way to work.
• 3:55 a.m. — Joe leaves for work. He is leaving later since one of our neighbor boys started working at the same RV factory he does. He picks Joe up on his way. After Joe leaves, I usually go back to bed until 6 a.m.
• 6 a.m. — I wake the children up to get ready for school. Mose and Susan came over last night to sleep. We had a lot of bad storms during the night, so we told Mose and Susan they could come sleep in the house. With the metal roof on their living quarters, it makes some pretty loud noise when it is windy and rainy. Everyone was extra tired this morning. Around 2 a.m., we had been awakened by a bad thunderstorm that produced some hail.
• 6:30 a.m. — Mose leaves for work.
• 7:00 a.m. — Joseph, 14, Lovina, 12, and Kevin, 11, leave for school on the bus.
• 7:15 a.m. — Verena leaves to go help out at the daycare. Benjamin is doing morning chores.
• 8:30 a.m. — Benjamin drives Susan to work with the buggy and our horse, Rex.
Loretta is washing dishes, and I am doing some bookwork. Income tax time is here, so I need to get that ready to take to our tax preparer in town. It is always time-consuming, but has to be done.
• 9:25 a.m. — Benjamin is back and is hauling manure out of the barn. With all the rain, the ground is too soft to drive through the barnyard to spread the manure in the fields.
• 1:30 p.m. — Benjamin leaves to go pick up Susan. She works until 2 p.m. today.
• 2:30 p.m. — Joe comes home from the factory. We are having snow flurries, and the temperature is getting colder again. Benjamin and Susan are back. Benjamin went to town to get me some groceries that I needed.
• 3:30 p.m. — The chil-dren are home from school. Brother-in-law Jacob, son Benjamin and Menno (his daughter Emma’s friend) come to get our two big butchering kettles. They will butcher hogs on Saturday, so they need the kettles.
• 6:30 p.m. — Chores are done, and supper is ready. Our menu consists of spaghetti and meatballs, cooked pota-toes, lettuce salad, cheese, canned peaches and white cake. Loretta’s friend, Dustin, joined us for supper.
• 7:30 p.m. — Mose and Susan came over for awhile. Susan and some of the children
always like to read the Bible together every day. They did this before Susan was married, and she tries to keep it up since she still lives on the home place.
• 9 p.m. — Mose and Susan leave the house to call it a day.
• 9:30 p.m. — Dustin leaves for home.
• 10 p.m. — Everyone is settled down for the night, so I will get some rest, too.
Our sympathy and prayers go out to our friend, Kristine. Her husband, John, lost his battle with cancer. May God guide her through this difficult trial in life.
I’ll share a recipe for sunrise burritos that daughter, Susan, tried last night for their supper. We plan to try it tonight for our supper. She didn’t have green chilies, so she substituted green peppers (diced), and it worked fine like that.
God bless!
SUNRISE BURRITOS
1 pound bulk sausage1 small onion, chopped16 eggs
1/2 cup water1 cup canned green chilies,

Do you remember cherry-vanilla ice cream? The kind with dark, sour cherries and just a hint of vanilla in the sweet, thick
cream? It seems that this old-fashioned combo is nowhere to be found among the ice cream flavors in my little town.
But there's absolutely no reason we can't enjoy those same dramatic flavors in an easy quick bread. Today's recipe is part-quick bread and part-buttery poundcake studded with dark, rich, tart cherries. I first started thinking about the delicious possibilities when I came across a large bag of Montmorency cher-ries at my local club store. I grabbed a bag, thinking they'd be a great winter addition to my morning oatmeal. Then I started snacking on the intense little gems when I remembered my favorite ice cream flavor as a child — cherry-vanilla.
Yes, they are wonderful when stirred into a steaming bowl of oatmeal. But you're going to love the result of this quick bread. After several loaves, I've
finally given up on the hope of having leftovers long enough to make French toast. It seems that when a loaf is in the house, it never stays until the next day. If you can, give it a try with day-old or two-day-old bread and let me know how it turns out. In the meantime, enjoy the sweet goodness of cherries and vanilla again.
CHERRY-VANILLA BREAD
Start to finish: about 45 minutes, mostly unattended baking time
Yield: 10 servings, 1 slice each1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour3/4 cup sugar1/2 teaspoon salt2 teaspoons baking powder4 tablespoons butter, melted1 large egg, lightly beaten1/2 cup 1 percent (or higher) milk1 teaspoon vanilla extract1/2 cup dried cherries
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter an 8- or 9-inch loaf pan well and set aside.
Combine the flour, sugar, salt and
baking powder in a bowl. Stir well. In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the butter, egg, milk, vanilla and cherries together. Add the combined wet ingredients to the dry and stir until just moist throughout. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or just until a wooden pick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes in pan, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool further. Slice and serve, or wrap tightly in foil until ready to serve.
