But large meat processing plants pile the stuff up by the barrel “and are always trying to look for a way to make more money.” So a company called Beef Products Inc. takes the trimmings, grinds them up and treats it with ammonia “to kill pathogens,” said Geisinger Dietician Michael Kantar. “It can go into any meat or meat-based product – ground beef, ground pork – that can be See FILLER, Page 14A

“At the time, it was an unbelievably difficult and emotional decision for us as parents,” said Christian’s mother, Kelly Fisher. “As a mother, you do anything to help your child to live.

A Luzerne County Court official said he’s concerned attorneys representing parents whose children are in the custody of Children and Youth Services may seek to withdraw from the cases because no money was budgeted in 2012 to pay them. Deputy Court Administrator Mike Shucosky said he “There’s onhas been seeking to discuss ly so long the funding issue with counyou can go ty officials, but everything has been in such a flux with without paythe transition to home rule ing your own that no meetings have been bills.

prison workers charged in March 2011 after a 13-month investigation into drug activity at the prison. On Wednesday, guard Christopher Walsh was acquitted on a charge of providing cocaine to a fellow guard. Another guard, Jason Fierman, is scheduled to stand trial on charges he provided drugs to inmates and other guards in June. John Carey had pleaded guilty and was sentenced in January to 18 months probation on charges he purchased drugs from a fellow guard. Warman, who was terminated from his prison job after the investigation, testified before a grand jury in 2009 about how he obtained the drugs and then dispensed them to prison workers. Warman said he never consulted with the prison physician before obtaining medications for himself, and no system was in place at the prison infirmary to track prescriptions. As a result, court papers say, Warman was able to get prescriptions from different pharmacies without having to worry about anyone auditing his invoices. Warman testified he gave about 30 to 60 tablets per month of the anxiety medicine Xanax to former deputy warden Sam Hyder. Hyder was not charged in the investigation, and his attorney, Peter Moses, had previously denied the allegations.

Wansacz: Nickname OK

Lackawanna County Commissioner Jim Wansacz said Thursday he and fellow Commissioner Corey O’Brien aren’t concerned about a nickname change for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees. “It’s not a name change, it’s a nickname change,” Wansacz said. “There’s a lot of confusion.

As long as the Scranton/WilkesBarre Yankees aren’t sold, the area is still guaranteed to have a Triple-A franchise. A current agreement with the Yankees stipulated the team will lease the stadium for at least 30 Triple-A baseball seasons, two possible 10-year lease renewal options, and pay annual rent to the authority for $750,000.

Built in the first decade of the 20th century for the First National Bank of Shickshinny, the property was most recently owned by Wells Fargo, which decided to replace the bank with an ATM, parking and green space after engineers found structural damages from several floods, including last September’s. Borough officials pleaded for Wells Fargo to sell or otherwise convey the historic building to the borough, but Wells Fargo said it would not convey ownership of an unsafe building.

DALLAS TWP. – Township police investigating a suspicious vehicle outside a medical office uncovered marijuana and contraband used to package the drug, according to charges filed. Police alleged they found Carl James Baxter, 18, of Mapleseed Drive, Dallas, and Ali Abualburak, 19, of Mount Olivet Road, Kingston Township, in a Mazda outside Geisinger Medical Center on Lt. Michael Cleary Drive on Wednesday. An officer detected an odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. A search of the vehicle revealed two bags of marijuana, a scale and a grind-

er, small plastic bags, rolling papers and a glass water bong, police said. Baxter told police it was marijuana he “may have smoked sometime today,” according to the criminal complaint. Police further alleged Baxter sold marijuana in Dallas on Feb. 27. He was arraigned Thursday in Wilkes-Barre Central Court on three counts of possession of a controlled substance, two counts each with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia, and a single count of criminal use of communication facility. He was released on $50,000 unsecured bail. Abualburak was not charged because Baxter took ownership of the

marijuana and contraband, according to the criminal complaint. In an unrelated case, Abualburak is scheduled for trial in Luzerne County Court on charges he was trafficking marijuana from his Kingston Township house in December 2010, court records say. His trial is scheduled in May. Authorities alleged they found $6,000 in cash, a pound of marijuana and contraband to weigh, package and deliver illegal drugs in Abualburak’s house. A preliminary hearing for Baxter is scheduled on March 15 before District Judge James Tupper in Kingston Township.

Conviction of Moses upheld by Pa. court

Former dean was convicted in theft of $17,000, laptop computers from the community college. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – The state Superior Court recently upheld the conviction of a former Luzerne County Community College dean who was convicted of stealing more than $17,000 and two laptops from the school. Peter Moses will remain free on bail while his attorney asks the state Supreme Court to hear his case, his attorney said Thursday. Moses, 60, of Wilkes-Barre, was convicted in July 2010 by a Luzerne County jury and later sentenced to four to 23 months in county prison. Moses has remained free on $10,000 bail whilehiscasewasonappeal to the state Superior Court. Moses’ attorney,WilliamRuzzo,said Moses Thursday he will file paperworkwiththestateSupremeCourtasking the court to hear his client’s case. “Then, he will be protected. (His case will) still be on direct appeal,” Ruzzo said. “His bail is in effect. We’ll see what the Supreme Court has to say.” Assistant District Attorney Shannon Crake, who prosecuted Moses, said the Superior Court’s ruling clears the way for Moses to serve his sentence. “Iwillbewritingalettertothejudgeasking for a hearing date, at which time I’ll ask thejudgetogiveMosesareport(toprison) date,” Crake said. Crake said Moses can petition the Supreme Court, but it can decline to hear another appeal. “It will be up to (Senior Judge Kenneth Brown) to decide whether or not to let (Moses out on bail) pending appeal,” Crake said. Moses appealed his prison sentence to the state Superior Court in January 2011, allegingthejudgewhopresidedoverhisjury trial, Brown, made erroneous rulings. Inadditionalcourtpapers,Ruzzosaidhe was seeking a new trial, arguing Brown improperly permitted two witnesses to testify they saw Moses take money from a cafeteria cash register. Ruzzo had also challenged a ruling that allowed prosecutors to tell jurors that Moses had filed for bankruptcy during the time frame the thefts occurred. In the appeal, Ruzzo argued testimony regarding the register thefts should not have been permitted because Moses was not specifically charged with stealing money from the registers. Rather, he was charged with failing to deposit money that came in to the school’s cafeteria. Regarding the bankruptcy, Ruzzo argued that information was irrelevant and couldprejudicethejurybecauseofthestigma attached to bankruptcy.

DA will assist LCCC probe Times Leader staff

The Luzerne County District Attorney’s Office has become involved in an investigation of missing funds at Luzerne County Community College. District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis said Thursday that after meeting with Detective Capt. William Shultz of the Nanticoke Police Department, her office will assist in an investigation. “There isn’t much more that can be (said) besides that the DA’s Office is involved with the Nanticoke Police Department,” Salavantis said. “More investigation has to be done before anything can come of it.” Salavantis said she cannot say how much money may be missing from the school’s Public Safety Training Institute or if there is a person of interest. A financial audit at the Nanticoke college recently revealed a discrepancy in one of the school’s accounts. College officials asked its business consultants to assist in looking into the discrepancy. In an e-mail, a college spokesperson said that after college officials reviewed information from the business consultants it was turned over to the Nanticoke Police Department.

Pa. House GOP leader sees redistricting vote

YANKEES Continued from Page 3A

The Associated Press

HARRISBURG — A vote on new legislative maps in Pennsylvania could be voted on next week, if the Republican floor leader of the state House of Representatives gets his way. Majority Leader Mike Turzai of Allegheny County on Thursday released copies of a letter he sent to the chairman of the Legislative Reapportionment Commission suggesting that the panel vote on a preliminary plan next Wednesday. Turzai noted the state Supreme Court, which rejected the last set of maps, asked the commission 33 days ago to move quickly, and said he was ready to vote. He declined to go into specifics about his own proposal, saying he had agreed to keep negotiations private. The state Supreme Court in January threw out the commission’s first set of maps, saying it didn’t meet constitutional standards for minimizing municipal splits and having compact boundaries. Turzai said there has been “significant movement” in the House talks, but facing a looming deadline will further spur them. Republicans had hoped to have new maps in place for the April 24 primary election, but it appears those contests will be held based on the 2001 maps. Republicans hold comfortable majorities in both chambers.

4-0, but George asked for a revote because he misunderstood the motion. He said he thought he was voting on taking the Jensen appointment off the consent agenda. Merritt obliged George and on the re-vote, Lavelle joined George in voting against Jensen. Merritt and Brown voted for her. But the controversy arose when Linda Urban spoke up and said the motion was misunderstood. Merritt asked Urban to refrain from addressing council from “beyond the rail.” When she again tried to get council to listen, Merritt pounded the gavel to silence her. That got Bob Kadluboski to speak out and challenge

council’s behavior. Merritt again wielded the gavel and ordered a city police officer to remove Urban and Kadluboski. That set off a firestorm of public comments, including from Frank Sorick, president of the Wilkes-Barre City Taxpayers’ Association, who said he would contact the ACLU to report council’s action. Urban at first refused to leave. “I’m not leaving,” she said. “I didn’t do anything wrong. I’m an American citizen – I have rights.” Reluctantly, Urban and Kadluboski left council chambers. Kadluboski could be heard in the hallway chanting, “Russia, Russia, Russia.” Merritt told them as they left the meeting, “You were warned.” After the meeting, Merritt said there are rules for council meetings and decorum must prevail.

questions, leaving the council chambers and racing down the steps before he could be asked more questions. “This council is playing around with people’s civil rights,” Urban said. “I don’t like what they just did to me.” Urban and Sorick said the public has a right to challenge and question its elected officials. “Instead, I was treated like I’m some type of a criminal,” Urban said. Sorick then asked, “Why would (council) appoint a human resources person to the planning commission?” On the bakery development, Lefkowitz said he has secured the necessary financing – about $3.8

million – to complete the project. The city originally intended to sell the building for $38,000 to Leo A. Glodzik, owner of LAG Towing – the city’s towing contractor – but that deal was terminated during the summer. Tyler Hammond, who has filed a lawsuit against the city regarding the former bakery, asked council at its January meeting why a portion of the property can’t be sold separately. Hammond did not submit a bid. But George requested that Lefkowitz contact the Hammonds to see if a deal can be reached on the slice of property that the Hammonds used to plant a garden. “It’s just a suggestion,” George said.

VIENNA — Six world powers on Thursday urged Iran to answer questions about suspicions it is working on nuclear weapons, but stressed that diplomacy was the way forward, in a carefully worded statement that reflected Western sensitivity to Russian and Chinese concerns about being too harsh on Tehran. The six urged Iran to open its Parchin military site to International Atomic Energy Agency perusal, amid reports that Tehran might be cleaning it of evidence of nuclear arms related experi-

ments — a request echoed by other speakers at the 35-nation IAEA board meeting. While also stressing the diplomacy was the key to resolving tensions over Iran’s nuclear program, a European Union statement was stronger than that from the six powers, noting “regret” of Iran’s lack of response to international concern. Concerns about Parchin are high. Diplomats who spoke to The Associated Press on Wednesday based their assessment on satellite images of the Iranian military facility they said appeared to show trucks and earth-moving vehicles, indicating an attempted cleanup of radioactive traces. Two of six diplomats said their information reveals that Iran had experi-

Solar storm spares us

ne of the strongest solar storms in years engulfed Earth early ThursO day, but scientists say the planet may

have lucked out. Hours after the storm arrived, officials said there were no reports of problems with power grids, GPS, satellites or other technologies that are often disrupted by solar storms. But that still can change as the storm shakes the planet’s magnetic field in ways that could disrupt technology but also spread colorful Northern Lights. Early indications show that it is about 10 times stronger than the normal solar wind that hits Earth.

Teen smokers a worry

Although teen smoking has declined, more than 3 million high school students and 600,000 middle school students still smoke cigarettes and are at risk of early lung and heart problems, according to a report issued Thursday by the U.S. surgeon general. The smoking rates among teenage high school students have dropped from 27.5 percent in 1994 to 19.5 percent now, but the decline has slowed in recent years. Nearly 90 percent of new smokers start before they turn 18 and threequarters of high school smokers continue into adulthood, the report said. They are also more likely to get addicted because of their young age. RICHMOND, VA.

Preacher backs legal pot

Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson says marijuana should be legalized and treated like alcohol because the government’s war on drugs has failed. The outspoken evangelical Christian and host of “The 700 Club” on the Virginia Beach-based Christian Broadcasting Network he founded said the war on drugs is costing taxpayers billions of dollars. He said people should not be sent to prison for marijuana possession. The 81-year-old first became a selfproclaimed “hero of the hippie culture” in 2010 when he called for ending mandatory prison sentences for marijuana possession convictions. Robertson’s support for legalizing pot appeared in a New York Times story published Thursday. His spokesman confirmed to The Associated Press that Robertson supports legalization with regulation.

Cardinal’s death natural

A suburban Philadelphia coroner said Thursday that 88-year-old Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua died of natural causes a day after he had been ruled competent to testify at the child-endangerment trial of a longtime aide. Officials had said Bevilacqua, who served as archbishop from 1988 to 2003, was suffering from dementia and cancer. But last month, prosecutors asked the coroner to investigate because of the timing of his death. Bevilacqua, spiritual leader of the archdiocese’s 1.5 million Roman Catholics from 1988 to 2003, died Jan. 31 at a seminary and was laid to rest without an autopsy. He was suffering from dementia and cancer, according to church officials and his lawyers, and his death was widely assumed to be from natural causes. Montgomery County Coroner Walter Hofman said there was no relation between the judge’s ruling and Bevilacqua’s sudden death.

Shorten said an aunt asked to watch the kids couldn’t keep up. Sherrie Shorten, the children’s mother, said she is getting out of prison in 30 days and was coming home to take care of the kids.

Syrian oil minister jumps ‘ship’

BEIRUT — Syria’s deputy oil minister appeared tense as he looked at the camera and announced in a video that he has defected from President Bashar Assad’s regime, acknowledging he expects government forces to “burn my home” and “persecute my family.” Abdo Husameddine, a 58year-old father of four, on Thursday became the highestranking civilian official to join the opposition, and he urged his countrymen to “abandon this sinking ship” as the nation spirals toward civil war.

A Syrian boy cries for his father, who was killed by a Syrian army sniper, at the father’s funeral Thursday.

In the YouTube video, Husameddine seemed to address Assad directly, accusing him of vast crimes in the past year as government forces pummel

the opposition with tanks and snipers. The U.N. estimates 7,500 people have been killed since the uprising began. “You have inflicted on those

you claim are your people a full year of sorrow and sadness, denied them their basic rights to life and humanity and pushed the country to the edge of the abyss,” said Husameddine. The authenticity of the video could not be verified, and he did not disclose his location. Assad’s regime has suffered a steady stream of low-level army defectors, who have joined a group of dissidents known as the Free Syrian Army, now numbering in the thousands. Brig. Gen. Mostafa Ahmad al-Sheik, who fled to Turkey in January, was the highest ranking officer to bolt. In late August, Adnan Bakkour, the attorney general of the central city of Hama, appeared in a video announcing he had defected.

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh’s mayor said a gunman who opened fire after entering the lobby of a psychiatric hospital at the University of Pittsburgh on Thursday was armed with two semi-automatic handguns. Mayor Luke Ravenstahl said the man exchanged gunfire with police and was shot dead but not

before one person was killed and seven others were hurt, apparently by his gunfire. One injured person wasn’t hurt by gunfire. The mayor stopped short of confirming the gunman was fatally shot by a University of Pittsburgh police officer. But he confirmed “police acted admirably and did engage in gunfire.”

One of the injured was a police officer. Neighboring buildings were placed on lockdown, police said. University of Pittsburgh Medical Center spokesman Paul Wood said media reports about a possible second gunman and a hostage situation at the clinic or at UPMC Presbyterian hospital were unfounded.

JACKSON, Miss. — Mitt Romney faces a tough sell in the Deep South. With Mississippi and Alabama primaries coming up next Tuesday, there’s concern that he’s too slick, not really a conservative. In a region where the evangelical vote is important, some are skeptical about his Mormon faith. But if Romney wins the Republican nomination and it’s a November choice between him and Democratic President Barack Obama, the former Massachusetts governor may be just good enough for some Southerners. “If push comes to shove and he gets the nomination, I’ll go in the voting booth like this and vote for 2 0 1 2 him,” says Missis- ELECTION sippi retiree David Wilke, holding his nose. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who represented Georgia for 20 years and now lives in Virginia, needs to win every state from South Carolina to Texas to get to the convention this summer, spokesman R.C. Hammond says. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum’s staff says he’ll be aggressive in states where Gingrich expects to perform well. Gingrich scored an early primary victory in South Carolina and won this week in Georgia. Romney added a Virginia win this week — Gingrich and Santorum weren’t on the ballot — to his Jan. 31 win in Florida. Santorum won Tennessee. After Mississippi and Alabama next week, Louisiana votes March 24, North Carolina and Texas May 8, Arkansas May 22 and Texas May 29. Santorum and Gingrich are invoking God and country as they campaign in Mississippi and Alabama, They’re winning applause by saying Obama has been a weak ally for Israel, a point that resonates with Christian conservatives. Romney and Obama also expressed support for Israel this week in speeches to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in Washington, but Mary Dockery, director of a Christian youth group in central Mississippi, said she’s voting for Santorum because she believes he’s the most pro-Israel candidate.

SCRANTON – With help from a Dunmore trucking company, the Scranton Police Department will have more officers than ever available during the city’s annual St. Patrick’s Parade on Saturday. “Road Scholar Trucking has offered to come down to the city and bring some of their specialty trucks to block off certain intersections,” Police Chief Dan Duffy said, noting that intersections

COURT BRIEFS WILKES-BARRE – The request of a Pittston Township man to reduce his $100,000 bail on charges related to firing a gun into a tax office in early January was denied Thursday. Michael Kozloski, 28, was originally charged in January with related charges, but those charges were later dismissed. New charges, filed on Feb. 28 by Pittston Township police, include aggravated assault, discharging a firearm into an occupied structure, person not to possess a firearm, simple assault, reckless endangerment and indecent exposure. He was then jailed for lack of $100,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for March 23.

rade,” Duffy said. “We’re just deploying them in a different direction. Now, they’re going to be able to rove up and down the street in order to detect or deter any criminal activity so the families can enjoy their time more.” Duffy said last year’s 50th annual parade was calm and he credited the lack of problems to parade-goers making the right decisions. “One thing’s for certain, though. We’re not going to tolerate any nonsense in the downtown area. We want people to

come down here and enjoy the parade,” he said. Scranton police made 37 arrests on Parade Day in 2011, up from 32 in 2010. Charges included drug possession and driving under the influence. The majority of calls received on Parade Day are alcohol related, but some turn into physical fights and domestic disputes, Duffy said. Police Capt. Carl Graziano said roads will be closed downtown beginning at about10:30 a.m. Closures run from Mulberry Street to

Lackawanna Avenue and from Mifflin to Jefferson avenues. The parade begins at 11:45 a.m. at the corner of Mulberry Street and Wyoming Avenue. It turns left onto Lackawanna Avenue, wraps around to Jefferson Avenue, turns onto Spruce Street and ends in the 400 block of North Washington Avenue. Parade Director Jamie Hailstone said the event will include about 50 musical acts, including eight local marching bands and15 pipe bands – surpassing last year’s record number of pipe and drum corps by one. About11,000 people are expected to march in downtown Scranton this weekend.

GETTING FIRED UP FOR TEST WEEK

Judge William Amesbury denied Kozloski’s request. WILKES-BARRE – A city man pleaded guilty Thursday to 12 charges relating to six separate incidents for which, prosecutors said, he will have to pay approximately $79,000 in restitution. Christopher Reddick, 20, of Welles Street, entered the plea to a number of charges, including burglary and theft, before Luzerne County Judge David Lupas. Lupas said Reddick will be sentenced on May 11. According to court papers, Reddick burglarized five homes in September 2010 and one home in May 2009, taking electronics, jewelry and other valuables.

Disabled advocates slam Corbett administration’s enforcement of increased restrictions on Capitol access

By PETER JACKSON Associated Press

HARRISBURG — A Corbett administration decision to step up enforcement of restrictions on access to portions of the Pennsylvania Capitol unfairly targets people in wheelchairs, an advocate said Thursday. It is “another way for (Gov. Tom Corbett) to avoid dealing with people with disabilities directly,” charged Pam Auer, a leader of the disability rights group ADAPT who uses a motorized wheelchair. The “new practice,” implemented nearly two weeks ago, is designed to prevent large groups of protesters from congregating in non-public areas, particularly the upper floors where offices of the governor and some legislators are located, said Troy Thompson of the Department of General Services. “In the past we’ve had some

problems with larger groups coming in and causing some disturbances, disruptions,” Thompson said. While most rallies and other large events are held in public areas — one of the two rotundas or on the steps outside the Capitol — ADAPT and a group of natural gas-drilling foes staged demonstrations outside Corbett’s third-floor office suite last year. Capitol police officers watched, but did not stop the protests. Thompson said decisions on which visitors may use the stairways or elevators are made on “a case-by-case basis” based on factors that include whether they previously caused problems. He said officers are unlikely to bar individuals from trying to meet with legislators or the governor. Auer said she and another wheelchair user were not permitted to use the elevator Wednes-

WILKES-BARRE – To understand the impact Marcellus Shale gas drilling is having in Pennsylvania, nothing is more important than unbiased science and public transparency. That is one of the guiding principles of the Wilkes University-based Institute for Energy and Environmental Research, and something state Department of Environmental Protection Secretary Michael Krancer said he believes. And when the state’s top environmental regulator got a firsthand look at the institute’s work Thursday, he liked what he saw. “I can’t tell you how impressed I am,” Krancer said. “I’m so happy I came here to see it.” During a tour with state Sen. John Yudichak, Krancer saw for himself the work undertaken by the institute, a consortium of two local colleges, a conservancy nonprofit and a public policy think tank established in September 2010.

lyzing existing hydrologic data and building a website to serve as a clearinghouse for scientific information about development of the Marcellus Shale. “One of the things we’ve heard from the community is, can you construct a website that would act as a clearinghouse for all kinds of information that is useful to the public,” Institute Director Kenneth Klemow said. “But especially that it’s objective, so that it doesn’t reek of industry or opponent.” In the future, Klemow said he would like to build on the institute’s current work and branch into other fields, including studying drilling’s impact on ground water, making science-based policy recommendations and using polls to understand the overall opinion Northeastern Pennsylvania residents have of drilling. Krancer said that while the insti-

tute’s work may not directly supplement DEP’s regulatory role, it “bring(s) additional talent to the table,” and that’s a good thing. “They’re interested in science just as we’re interested in science,” Krancer said. “We can’t have too many institutions do this kind of work. It’s great work, as long as it remains unbiased.” Yudichak added the findings of scientists like those working for

the institute should be the basis for policy decisions made by the state legislature. “We’re trying to bring science to the debate, and I think Wilkes University is doing a great job in terms of research,” Yudichak said. “We’re really trying to bring sound science to the table so that policy makers have good scientific information to the table when it comes time to make decisions.”

Man arrested in apartment robbery By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

NANTICOKE -- Police arrested a man they allege robbed another man at gunpoint inside a neighbor’s apartment. Benjamin Artache, 22, of Apollo Circle, was arraigned Thursday in Wilkes-Barre Central Court on charges of robbery, burglary, criminal attempt to commit robbery, criminal trespass, receiving stolen property, illegal possession of a firearm and simple assault. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $25,000 bail. According to the criminal complaint: Shaka Diamayne told police he was in his girlfriend’s apartment at 264 Apollo Circle on Wednesday when Artache entered uninvited with a handgun and a police-style baton. Diamayne alleged Artache aimed

the gun at him and demanded anything of value. Diamayne told Artache he had nothing to give Artache him. Artache ordered Diamayne upstairs and followed him closely behind while aiming the gun at him. Artache then left the apartment and drove away. Police said they arrested Artache when he returned to his apartment at about 4 p.m. A police search of Artache’s apartment found a loaded .32caliber handgun hidden under children’s clothes in a dresser, the complaint says. The gun was reported stolen to Nanticoke police in October. Police said Artache is prohibited from carrying or owning a gun due to a conviction in Massachusetts.

Customers were friends Area restaurateur Kal Kazimi, who died Wednesday, recalled for his hospitality. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

Kal Kazimi knew virtually no English when he emigrated to the United States in 1987 and took a job as a banquet waiter at Genetti Hotel & Convention Center in Wilkes-Barre. Seventeen years later, the native of Jordan proudly translated years of hard work and dedication into his own success as he opened Kazimi’s Restaurant, a popular fine dining establishment in Kingston. Rather than begrudge his former employee for becoming his competition, Gus Genetti, owner of Genetti’s, became one of his most loyal customers. That’s a testament to the impact Kazimi, who died Wednesday at age 49, had on people, Genetti and Kazimi’s family members said. “He loved people. If you knew Kal, you would become his friend,” Genetti said. “I was proud and pleased he had the opportunity to own his own business and flourish with it.” Genetti said Kazimi, who

Customers speak for and against Aqua rate hike Public hearing held on water company’s request for a 9.4 increase in annual revenue. By JERRY LYNOTT jlynott@timesleader.com

KINGSTON TWP. – Just as many people Thursday night spoke in support of the $38.6 million rate hike sought by Aqua Pennsylvania as did opponents of the increase. Administrative Law Judges Darlene Heep and Angela Jones heard sworn testimony at the Kingston Township Municipal Building, where they held the last of five public hearings on Aqua’s request for a 9.4 increase in annual revenue. The judges expect to make a recommendation by mid-June to the state Public Utility Commission, which suspended the company’s increase until Aug. 18. The utility filed for the in-

crease with the PUC in November, saying the increase would cover the amount it invested in its infrastructure and pay for the expenses necessary to operate its water systems. The publicly traded company serves nearly 406,000 customers in 27 counties. Dan Huff, a supervisor from Washington Township, and Mary Ellen Buckbee, manager of Factoryville borough, supported Aqua, which made improvements to the water systems serving their communities in Wyoming County. Utility contractor Scott Linde of Kingston told the judges he was an investor in the Maple Crest development in Kingston Township, one of the three developments where Aqua took over the water service. “They did a good job and the rates are fair,” said Linde. The company’s service has improved in Sayre, acknowledged

David Jarrett, borough manager. But residents are recovering from flooding in September and will be paying for a $10 million sewer system upgrade. He asked for at least a one-year delay in the increase. “It just simply is not the time to do this,” said Jarrett, who spoke at the last hearing. Bear Creek Township resident Bonnie Wasilewski urged the judges to reject the increase, saying Aqua installed a new system in 2009 with $3 million in taxpayer funds. Sue Dicton of the Midway Manor in Kingston Township held up a dirty water filter, saying she has to change them every six weeks instead of monthly since Aqua took over the service. Dicton later met with state Rep. Phyllis Mundy, D-Kingston. Mundy opposed the increase, as she did with the four others Aqua obtained since 2004 totaling nearly $100 million.

Paul John Matthew Stebbins Jr. March 7, 2012 John Matthew Stebbins Jr. P aul surprised and annoyed us all one

final time by dying suddenly on Wednesday, March 7, 2012 at the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital. On August 25,1979, according to him, “God gave the ladies of the world a gift.” One special woman was lucky enough to unwrap that gift and on June 26, 2004, he married his best friend and soul mate, of almost eight years, Suzie. He even forgave her for being a New York Yankees fan. Besides his wife, “PJ” found the greatest joys in the Boston Red Sox, being the best uncle, bargain shopping, Phil Collins, Republicans, funny movies, the Florida Gators, and pushing his father’s buttons. (and maybe the occasional hate mail that showed up after he wrote an editorial.) He was a member of St. Barbara Parish ( St. Anthony of Padua Church, Exeter). He graduated from Bloomsburg University with a degree in elementary education. Paul also served as treasurer for the Young Republicans. With heavy hearts, he leaves behind, in addition to his wife, the former Suzie Scavone, his father, Paul Stebbins Sr.; siblings, Lea Black, Tonya Stebbins, Mandi Stebbins, Krissy Blank, Katie Cartwright and Jacob Cartwright; in-laws, Mark, Rosemary, and Becky Scavone; grandmother Irene Stebbins; aunts, uncles, cousins, several, very much loved nieces and nephews; and his crazy dog, Yogi. Relatives and friends are invited to a memorial service on Sunday, March 11, from 3 to 5 p.m. at the

Gubbiotti Funeral Home, 1030 Wyoming Ave., Exeter. PJ would ask that you honor his memory by donning your favorite Red Sox ball cap and/or voting for a Republican! His more practical family members, however, ask that you honor him by smiling through the pain, doting upon your children, tolerating someone difficult, making amends, being a better friend, and most importantly - turning to someone you love, right now, and telling them so. These are the qualities that he possessed and that the world needs more of. Many thanks to his doctors: Charles Manganiello, Mark Bernardi, Vijayaramanr Pugazhenai, Susan Brozena and to all of the nurses at the Geisinger Heart Hospital. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Big Brothers/Big Sisters of the Bridge Foundation, 35 E. Northampton St., Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701.

OUR OPINION: BETTER GOV’T

Officials obligated to let light shine in

HE INTERNET seemingly holds all the answers, until, in all too many cases in Northeastern Pennsylvania, you want answers about your government. When and where, for instance, can you attend the upcoming board meeting for the public school district supported with so many of your tax dollars? Can you access an online copy of the school district’s budget? How much money does the district – say, LakeLehman or Wilkes-Barre Area – spend to transport youths to sporting events? Which companies consistently win contracts to supply certain services and products? What official business transpired at the last board meeting? You should have easy access to the inner workings of Pennsylvania’s public school districts, as well as your municipal, county, state and federal governments. The technology exists in 2012 to make their activities – all supposedly conducted on your behalf – an open book. Yet often people are kept in the dark. The situation should be particularly troubling to residents of this region, where rampant public corruption on the part of elected officials at many levels has spawned so much shame,

CURSE THE DARK Learn about Sunshine Week at www.sunshineweek.org.

delayed economic progress and shortchanged the people. That’s why newspapers such as The Times Leader consistently tout “Sunshine Week.” This year’s version of the awareness-raising campaign starts Sunday. The campaign “seeks to enlighten and empower people to play an active role in their government at all levels, and to give them access to information that makes their lives better and their communities stronger,” according to its promoters. Separately, organizations such as Virginia-based Sunshine Review regularly monitor government websites and grade them on transparency. Its most recent analysis, released Thursday, gave solid grades to Pennsylvania’s state government website (www.pa.gov), two counties (Allegheny and Philadelphia), one city (Pittsburgh) and six school districts in the state. None of those school districts is in our area. Luzerne County residents should question whether this region’s layers of government lag in giving them the answers they seek and the online information they deserve. And if so, why?

QUOTE OF THE DAY “The bottom line is this: If everybody paid their fair share, everybody would pay less.” State Rep. Phyllis Mundy The Kingston Democrat intends to draft legislation to close the “Delaware loophole,” which allows corporations doing business in multiple states to avoid paying Pennsylvania’s corporate net income tax. Her proposal also would cut the corporate tax by 30 percent over six years, beginning in 2014.

OTHER OPINION: DRONE STRIKES

Targeted killings deeply troubling

OT TOO MANY debates were settled Monday when U.S. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. detailed the Obama administration’s decision-making process on targeted killings. For our part, we’re as troubled as ever by drone-based assassinations – and perhaps more concerned that this nation is heading down a dangerous path. We’re uncomfortable with the broad powers Holder asserted for the president to act as judge, jury and executioner for suspected terrorists, including U.S. citizens, on the basis of secret evidence. Prosecuting a war against a non-uniformed, multinational terrorist organization is phenomenally complex, and we certainly understand the administration’s conundrum. In a situation in which a terrorist leader poses a truly imminent EDITORIAL BOARD

threat, there might not be time to seek judicial review of a kill order. And yet Holder’s definition of “imminent threat” is extremely vague, and we’re not at all sure how it applies to, say, Anwar Awlaki, a U.S. citizen who was killed in a drone strike last year in Yemen. We’re also troubled by Holder’s assertion that the administration is free to target anyone it deems to be a terrorist, on the soil of any country it considers “unable or unwilling to deal effectively with a threat to the United States.” And we’re more than a little disappointed at the way Democrats (including Holder and President Obama) who criticized President Bush’s broad assertions of presidential powers in the war on terrorism have changed their tune now that a Democrat is in the White House.

s it my imagination or is the litter in Northeastern Pennsylvania getting worse? We have quite a bit of road frontage in Hunlock Creek and are good for a half to a full garbage bag a week from all the stuff thrown out of passing cars. Discarded instant lottery tickets, lots of plastic bottles, bags, beer cans and fast-food waste. You name it, people just roll down the window and throw out stuff. But it is not only here. Look at the lot next to the Mohegan Sun Arena, highway entrance ramps into Wilkes-Barre, any rural roadways; we are awash in other people’s trash. Litter laws don’t work for this type of random trash. But, then, what is the answer? How do you get people to recognize (or care about) what the state looks like? I guess this letter is just a rant, but I am certainly open to suggestions. How is it that Maryland and Virginia seem so clean? Tom Pugh Hunlock Creek

Writer welcomes review into twins’ births at jail

t is a sign of hope, a breath of fresh air, to hear that the Luzerne County District Attorney’s Office is investigating the death of a twin born at the prison, as this is long overdue at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility. The prison seemingly operated as an island unto itself with no accountability to the former commissioners or, more important, to the taxpayers. James Crispell Sr. Berwick

Handling of herpes issue upsets wrestler’s parent

he decision of primarily one local wrestling team and its coaches seemingly has resulted in an unprecedented outbreak of the herpes gladiatorum virus among our conference wrestlers. It did not only temporarily postpone one wrestling team’s matches, but, in fact, irrevocably and permanently impacted other wrestlers’ lives – and one in particular, my son. Sometime over the last month, my son was exposed to a live case of herpes gladiatorum. Since this type of herpes is predominately passed via skin-to-skin contact, one can ascertain that someone on an opposing team was still very much contagious and, therefore, exposed other wrestlers to the virus. We know where the genesis of this herpes was reportedly discovered and we

know by now that initially it apparently was not properly addressed. My son had a sudden outbreak of herpes skin lesions only days prior to districts, making it necessary for him to withdraw from the biggest event of his life, thus far. He voluntarily withdrew because we knew. We knew and acknowledged he had a virulently contagious virus. He did the right thing. I wish everyone did. It’s called integrity. It doesn’t require too much forethought, plotting or calculation. You either have it, or you don’t. Maria Jiunta Heck West Pittston

Restore sports teams to West Side Tech Center

t’s that time of year again for high school baseball and softball – except at West Side Career and Technology Center. West Side CTC’s budget didn’t include sports. But the “sending districts” didn’t have to drop one sports program. West Side CTC needs its sports back. You keep children busy, they stay out of trouble. As far as the West Side kids playing for their sending districts, this is a joke. You cause nothing but problems when a West Side CTC student takes the position from a “regular” player. The kids want their own teams again. When the kids see students from other schools using their gym and they have nothing, it hurts them. We have a new committee this year that needs to do the right thing and vote to bring back sports. Maybe we can get some of our sports fans or gas companies to contribute. Mike Jeschke Dallas

American people tired of politicians, ‘big money’

t seems to me that our elected politicians and “big money” in this country are doing what they want and not what the people who elected them want. Both political parties are greedy, with the Republicans seemingly being greedier and completely out of touch with the majority of the American people. It has been said, “A free people ought

DOONESBURY

not only be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government.” When the American people finally have had enough of these corrupt politicians, price-gouging oil conglomerates and lobbyists with personal interests, there will be hell to pay. As Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto said after the Pearl Harbor attack, “I fear all we have done is awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.” Go ahead, mister politician and mister oil executive, keep sticking it to the American people. You’ll find out what “resolve” means. Ernest Schuldaski Wilkes-Barre

Taxpayers’ association needed in Swoyersville

he Times Leader’s report covering February’s Swoyersville Council meeting was newsworthy but deserving of some correction. The statement made by council President Ron Alunni that he is not aware of any complaints regarding the zoning officer is far-fetched. Given the fact that the nature of this zoning position in itself is controversial, even the best operating system would naturally have complaints. Furthermore, council needs to look no further than the minutes of past council meetings. I would be happy to send them copies of the written, legitimate complaints that I have filed. Rest assured this council is fully aware of the problem, and it is about time that its members accept responsibility for the actions of their employees as well as their responsibility to respond to taxpayers’ complaints in a positive and forthright manner. I am hopeful that my response will not be viewed as “personal,” but instead will elicit some positive communication between council and its constituents. However, as I read newspaper accounts of council meetings, I become increasingly convinced that an active citizens’/taxpayers’ association is sorely needed. The borough’s website does not provide any budget or operational information, nor does it encourage any communication with taxpayers. A taxpayer recently told me that when he requested a copy of council meeting minutes, he was asked why he needed them. Taxpayers and residents are encouraged to join an association to establish communication with borough officials as well as to promote community activities and involvement.

power. Michael Pendolphi, one of the 18 attorneys appointed to represent parents, said he’s unhappy with the prospect he might not be paid, but he’ll continue to represent his clients. “Once you are appointed, you are appointed until the court issues an order letting you withdraw,” Pendolphi said. “If there is no money to pay me, I may end up going to court for people and not get paid.

But I still have to go.” Attorney Qiana Murphy Lehman said she is also willing to continue to represent her clients because she is concerned about what will happen if she and the other attorneys drop out. “If all the attorneys who did this work stopped, the system would grind to a halt,” Murphy Lehman said. “These parents have to be represented by somebody.” “At the same time,” she continued, “there’s only so long you can go without paying your own bills … I don’t want to see parents go without representation, but that’s what’s going to happen.”

Fund tapped out County officials budgeted $125,000 last year to pay private attorneys to represent parents, but expenses exceeded that amount by more than $200,000. A Times Leader investigation revealed more than $144,000 was paid to single attorney, Angela Stevens. Stevens has admitted she overcharged the county for travel fees, which she contends was an oversight. The county is seeking a forensic audit of the account, and officials have also asked law enforcement to launch a criminal investigation. No county or court officials have been

For school foods, they have to meet a certain price point,” Kantar said. “This is one of the ways they stretch their dollar.” Whether “pink slime” bought by the USDA actually will end up in local cafeterias could not be determined Thursday. ‘Reviewing the details’

“We continue to see an increased need with fewer and fewer resources,” said Bill Jones, executive director of the United Way of Wyoming Valley. He said the greater demand, coupled with dwindling state funding, continues “stretching the safety net.” With state legislators or their representatives in the audience, some of those taking the microphone said the message needs to get back to Harrisburg that enough is enough. “This is not our first time on the chopping block,” said Gene Brady, executive director of Commission on Economic Opportunity. He said what is new is the governor’s proposal to combine seven human services line items into a block grant program that will cause counties, rather than the state, to determine how the county’s allocation should be spent.

A spokesman for the state Department of Education, which oversees the federal lunch program here, said in an email that the “Division of Food and Nutrition is reviewing the details.” People contacted at the two food service firms providing cafeteria operations in most local school districts said they had not heard of “pink slime” and were not able to reach the right person in the company Thursday afternoon to get answers. Proponents of the filler claim that ammonia “is a natural compound used in foods, but it is still an additive,” Kantar said. The ammonia is added to kill dangerous microbes like salmonella and E. coli, which it initially does, Kantar said. But in the long run “it’s not very effective. The product is still at risk of being contaminated again.” Asked if the filler is safe, Kantar said, “In small doses it probably isn’t going to be harmful.” So a little of it in a school

able to explain why no funding for the attorneys was included in 2012 budget. The controversy surrounding Stevens does not appear to have played a role, however. The budget was passed on Feb. 15. The information about Stevens did not become known until The Times Leader reported the results of its investigation on Feb. 24. Shucosky and President Judge Thomas Burke have said the funding issue has to be resolved by County Manager Robert Lawton and the county council. Lawton, who started work last week, has been dealing with a multitude of pressing issues. He did not return a

Sugarman’s, and she is expected to be charged with delivery of a controlled substance. Further details on Patrick Lachance and Nataloni were not available at press time. At least six more individuals whose names were not released Thursday were being processed, according to the District Attorney’s Office. The amount of synthetic marijuana taken off of the shelves was “voluminous,” but officials had no concrete estimate of the amount of product seized or its street value. Packages of synthetic marijuana were sold for $15 to $30, depending on the size and potency of the product. “We’re still in the process of going through all of the evidence,” Klein said. In the “small sample” of “box after box” of evidence, packages

lunch likely won’t be anything to worry about. The real risk, Kantar said, would be in eating food containing the ammonia “five or six times a day.” And at that point, the other health risks from eating so much processed meat – more saturated fats, more sodium, stuff like that – would likely be greater than the risk of the ammonia, he added. In fact the plan to use “pink slime” in school lunch meats comes at the same time new rules are being implemented on what those school lunches must contain. “They are good changes, focusing on incorporating more fruits and vegetables,” Kantar said, which in turn could curb the consumption of processed meat, further mitigating any risk from the ammonia-treated filler. While the focus is on school lunches, Kantar noted the filler is being used elsewhere – McDonald’s recently stopped using it.

phone message Thursday seeking comment on the status of discussions regarding the attorney funding. Shucosky said, so far, no attorney has asked to be excused from a case due to the funding issue, “although one has indicated he no longer wishes to accept any new cases.” He said it’s clear something needs to be done soon to address the issue. “We have an ethical obligation as attorneys to represent these people and the county has a legal obligation,” Shucosky said. “It’s really a problem for the county. I don’t think they’ve started to address it yet.”

His said his store uses no fillers or preservatives, even though federal rules allow up to 10 percent filler. “When people come in and say it’s more expensive, that’s why,” Gerrity said. “You’re getting real meat.” Kantar said the filler may be safe, but that doesn’t make it right to use it. “It’s probably not the most healthful thing to incorporate into a daily regimen, that’s the biggest take-home message I can give,” he said.

Business leaders, nonprofits, volunteers, board members, clients and elected officials listen at a United Way town hall state budget meeting Thursday at King’s on how planned cuts in the governor’s proposed budget will impact the local social services.

The United Way is traveling the state this month holding town halls on the budget and will be in Scranton today at the Koppelman Auditorium inside the Jewish Community Center, 601 Jefferson Ave. Future stops include the Lehigh Valley, the Harrisburg region, Erie and greater Pittsburgh.

While that flexibility is being hyped by the governor’s office as a good thing, those who will be responsible for determining who gets what see it from a different point of view. “You’re really pitting one program against another,” Brady said. On top of that change is a 20 percent proposed reduction in overall funding to the counties. “It’s a lot easier just to say I’m going to cut something and pass the money on than it is to decide who’s going to be cut,” Brady said. The cuts will hurt the state’s “most vulnerable” citizens,” said Susan M. Dinofrio, executive director of the Child Development

Council. Not only will overall funding be slashed but some believe that taking money away from one program, puts a strain on another. Mary Dysleski, acting director of Luzerne County’s Human Services Department, noted that less money for rent assistance or other aid that helps keep people in their own homes will mean another person who will likely be requesting homeless services in the future. “You cut here and you create a problem here,” Dinofrio said.

Among the legislators in the audience was Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski, D-Wilkes-Barre, who received a loud ovation after he spoke about the proposed cuts and chided the governor and others for not taxing gas drillers at a higher rate or for closing the Delaware Loophole that allows corporations to avoid paying Pennsylvania income tax. Some estimates suggest that closing the loophole and raising the extraction tax would raise close to $800 million annually. “I believe there are pockets of

West Pittston mayor who now serves as the deputy director of the governor’s Northeast Pennsylvania office, said the budget is just a proposal, a starting point for legislators to use in negotiations to reach a final plan.

dollars out there that can be tapped,” Pashinski said. He noted the budget has been cut year after year, with the notion that abuse and waste are being targeted. He said while that might have been the case originally, “I think the fat’s gone. I think we’re now down to the bone.” “Our needs are not going away. If anything, our needs are increasing,” he said.

Lady Monarchs could be tweaking lineup when they play Emmanuel College today. By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

Heading into the program’s biggest game of the season, the King’s women’s basketball team will be without one senior while another hopes to return. The starting five will likely remain the same for the Lady Monarchs when they face Emmanuel

College in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament at 5 p.m. today in Amherst, Mass., but there will be changes off the bench. Gone is Paige Carlin, who abruptly left the team at the start of the week. Potentially coming back is Brittany Muscatell, who missed the first two rounds with an injury. “Hopefully Brit comes back and we roll with the team we have,” King’s coach Brian Donoghue said. “As long as she doesn’t have any setbacks (before Friday), I think there’s a good chance.”

Four locals preparing for chance to compete

Carlin was the team’s leading scorer in the regular season, but was held to just two points in the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament . If Muscatell returns, it will give King’s (24-5) another veteran presence in the backcourt and help run the offense. In her absence, Michaels played 74 of 80 minutes in the opening two rounds. Junior Celia Rader had replaced Muscatell in the lineup, but her spot on the floor was solidified with a record performance in a

second-round upset of William Paterson on Saturday. “We always practice time and score situations, so you don’t really think about the pressure,” said Rader, who tied an NCAA Division III women’s tournament record with nine threes to beat the Pioneers. “You just have to play the game. Everybody has confidence in shooting the ball, and we all depend on each other. “I think we all know that whoever has the ball in their hands is capable of scoring.” A junior guard, Rader leads the

Digging for some gold Five remain in contention for state titles

Hanover Area student, others to participate in kickboxing event in Jim Thorpe. By MATTHEW SHUTT For The Times Leader

WILKES – BARRE – For most of his day Matt Monahan is just like any other high school student. Wake up early, head to school, pay attention in class, maybe joke around with friends and then stroll out the doors when the last bell rings. And like some of his classmates Matt even has an after school sport he’s currently involved in. There is where the similarities end. For anywhere from three to four and a half hours a day, Monday through Saturday, Monahan works on his strength, conditioning and technique, basically anything that will help him win his bout this Saturday at the Erin Go Brawl Muay Thai kickboxing competition at Jim Thorpe Memorial Hall. For the past four months, Monahan has been training in the discipline of Jiu Jitsu at Michael Geo’s School of Combat Arts, located on Forrest Street in WilkesBarre. While four months is obviously not a long time of training before a contest, both Monahan and Geo point to the 16-year-old’s dedication and hard work as reason enough to be confident. “I think I’m going to win it,” said Monahan of his upcoming match. “I have been fighting, one way or the other, since I was little. I always used to mess around with my brother growing up and then when I got older a friend earned his black belt and we used to spar all the time. Then one day my friend’s uncle’s friend told me this place was opening up and I came and checked it out and I love it.” Monahan had tried other sports, but found Jiu Jitsu was the most fulfilling. “I’ve played other sports, like basketball and track,” said Monahan, who currently attends Hanover Area. “This is just great, though. Because of the hard work the payoff is just so much better.” Monahan’s enthusiasm for learning the sport and hours put into it, whether with training partners or even on a night like Thursday when it was just Monahan and Geo working together, have left Geo impressed. “There’s no doubt in my mind that he’s going to win,” said Geo. “Now it’s come time to incorporate his grappling and his striking into a successful MMA style.” The MMA that Geo refers to is known as mixed martial arts, a branch of competitive fighting that has skyrocketed in popularity over the past few years. MMA is a full contact combat sport that allows the use of both striking and grappling techniques, standing or on the ground, and includes Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, kickboxing, Taekwondo, See MMA, Page 5B

HERSHEY – It’s hard not to be nervous right before stepping on the mat during a big tournament. Three Wyoming Valley Conference wrestlers got past those early jitters Thursday morning to advance to the quarterfinals of the PIAA Class 2A Championships at Giant Center. Even Vito Pasone, Austin Harry and Andy Schutz, who may be the three of the most relaxed wrestlers from the WVC before normal match-

es, dealt with nerves before moving to the next round. “Everyone gets nervous when you’re at this stage,” said Harry, Lake-Lehman’s 126-pounder who won his first match with a fall. Harry was joined by Meyers’ Pasone (113 pounds) and Wyoming Area’s Schutz (132) as Thursday’s winners. Pasone was beating Bishop McDevitt’s Terrence White 2-1 in the secSee CLASS 2A, Page 4B

HERSHEY – It’s not the norm for Brad Emerick to wrestle in matches that consist of just one point. The non-conventional 285-pounder from Coughlin has only won one match this season that way during his unblemished record so far.

Nanticoke inside players stand as one By JOHN MEDEIROS jmedeiros@timesleader.com

Nanticoke senior Katie Wolfe and junior Alex Holl have been playing basketball together their entire lives. They aren’t ready to have that end, even if Holl’s reward would be a coveted varsity starting spot. “We’ve been on the same team all our lives,” Holl said. “The first time meeting Alex was when we got picked for allstars,” Wolfe recalled. “We were both posts. I was kind of jealous of her then because I thought she was taking my spot.” It turns out Wolfe got her spot. The senior is the starting center for the Trojanettes, who open Class

3A state tournament play 6 p.m. Saturday at Shikellamy High School against District 4 champion Shamokin. “Katie has worked so hard,” Nanticoke coach Alan Yendrzeiwski said. “She’s a good athlete and uses all of her skills. The coaches saw that. That’s why she’s the (WVC Division III) MVP.” But when Wolfe needs a break, or maybe has a foul or two, Holl is usually summoned to enter the game. “Alex is a very good, very talented player,” Yendrzeiwski said. “She just has the unfortunate luck of playing the same position as the league MVP.” As news of Wolfe’s exploits

spread, words such as beast, dominating and dangerous were used. Holl was the super sub who allowed folks to make comparisons. But enter a gym without a roster in hand and you’d never find the duo. There are no 6-foot-3 behemoths or lanky 6-5 girls with 9-foot wingspans in Nanticoke jerseys. Wolfe is a modest 5-9, and Holl a virtually diminutive 5-7. “We were the tallest players on the court back then,” Wolfe said of their biddy basketball days. “It’s kind of gone kind of backwards now – we’re the shortest players in the lane. “Our game is to basically drive See NANTICOKE, Page 5B

Marino makes a pitch to Manning Dolphins Hall of Famer believes Miami would be an excellent landing spot for star quarterback.

Bryzgalov leads Philly past Florida

AVENTURA, Fla. — If Peyton Manning wants to talk about playing quarterback for the Miami Dolphins, Dan Marino would be thrilled to take his call. And just in case, Marino has his sales pitch ready. “There’s great tradition there. We’ve had a couple off years but believe me, they’ll be back,” said Marino, the Hall of Famer who threw for 420 touchdowns and more than 61,000 yards in his Dolphins career. “It’s a great franchise and

they’ll get it turned around.” Manning would almost certainly help in that quest, which largely started when Marino retired more than a decade ago. Manning From the moment the four-time MVP parted with the Indianapolis Colts on Wednesday, buzz about Manning has been growing in Miami — much of it fueled by the quarterback’s arrival in South Florida shortly after becoming an NFL free agent for the first time. Manning insists he doesn’t know what his next move will be, and Marino believes him. “I think he fits with anybody,” Marino said Thursday at a charity golf tournament. “He’s one of the best to ever play

Devils 5, Islanders 1 NEWARK, N.J. — Ilya Kovalchuk recorded his second hat trick in just over three weeks to lead the New Jersey Devils to a victory over the New York Islanders. Patrik Elias and David Clarkson also scored and Martin Brodeur made 29 saves as the Devils earned their 38th win, matching last season’s total when they missed the playoffs for the first time since 1996. Bruins 3, Sabres 1 BOSTON — David Krejci scored for the fifth time in the last five games and Boston won consecutive games for the first time in almost two months with a victory against the Buffalo Sabres. Lightning 3, Capitals 2 WASHINGTON — Alex Ovechkin scored on a wrist shot at 4:09 of overtime, and the Washington Capitals came back to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning, snapping a three-game losing streak. Blue Jackets 3, Kings 1 COLUMBUS, Ohio — Mark Letestu scored twice and Jack Johnson had a goal against his former teammates to lead the Columbus Blue Jackets to their fourth straight win. Senators 4, Rangers 1 OTTAWA — Ben Bishop made 25 saves in his home debut with the Senators, and Ottawa beat the Eastern Conference-leading New York Rangers. Nick Foligno had the winning goal, and Zack Smith, Kyle Turris and Jason Spezza, with an empty-netter, also scored for the Senators (36-25-8). Blues 3, Ducks 1 ST. LOUIS — Patrik Berglund scored the go-ahead goal in the third period and Jaroslav Halak made 24 saves for his career-high seventh straight win to lead the St. Louis Blues to a victory over the Anaheim Ducks. Predators 4, Avalanche 2 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Sergei Kostitsyn scored at 19:28 of the second period, and the Nashville Predators held off the Colorado Avalanche. NBA Magic 99, Bulls 94 CHICAGO — Dwight Howard had 29 points and 18 rebounds to lead the Orlando Magic to a win over the Bulls, snapping Chicago’s eight-game winning streak. Chicago twice overcame double-digit deficits and led 91-89 with 2:56 to play after Derrick Rose passed to Carlos Boozer for a jumper.

ing to go,” said wide receiver Pierre Garcon, who caught 10 touchdown passes from Manning in 2009 and 2010. “I could not tell you anything.” Added Reggie Wayne, who has been working out with Manning: “I don’t know. Ask Peyton.” Manning’s arrival in Miami doesn’t necessarily mean the Dolphins are front-runners to get him. He owns a condo in Miami Beach, where television crews were staked out Thursday. “He does like his privacy — and he’s not going to have much of it until everyone finds out where he’s going to go,” Garcon said. Why keep playing? “He’s a competitor. He loves the game. He loves winning,” Garcon said. “You can never have enough Super Bowl rings.”

Four local wrestlers aiming for national championships

The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Ilya Bryzgalov made 28 saves to record his second shutout in three games and the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Florida Panthers 5-0 on Thursday night for their fourth straight win. Brayden Schenn, Matt Read, Scott Hartnell, Jaromir Jagr and Eric Wellwood scored for the Flyers. Bryzgalov has finally played like the goalie the Flyers expected when they gave him a $51 million, nine-year contract. After struggling much of the season, he’s 7-2 with a 2.10 goals-against average while making 10 straight starts. Fans who booed him just last month at the Wells Fargo Center chanted “Bryz! Bryz! Bryz!” in the third period. The victory moved the Flyers within two points of fourth-place Pittsburgh in the Eastern Conference.

the game at that position. So wherever he ends up playing, if he’s healthy, which is going to be important to Peyton, I’m sure he wants to go out there and play at a high level. Wherever he plays, he’ll be a huge impact for that team.” The Dolphins are believed to be one of the teams interested in adding Manning; Miami plays a game at Indianapolis next season. Washington, Arizona, Seattle, Denver and Kansas City also are likely to talk to him, along with the Jets — the team that shares a stadium with the Giants and Manning’s twotime, Super Bowl-winning brother Eli. ESPN reported Thursday that Manning will make a decision within the next week and wants to stay in the AFC. “I know he likes the weather here in Miami, but I have no idea where he’s go-

Mariners 10, Cubs 3 MESA, Ariz. — Dustin Ackley hit a three-run homer to extend his torrid start to spring training, and Seattle beat the Chicago Cubs.

While a lot of wrestling attention this weekend is on the PIAA Championships, there are some local wrestlers getting ready to make some noise of their own. King’s College’s Mike Reilly will join Wilkes’ Anthony Dattolo, Ryan Wilson and Michael Fleck beginning today at the Division III NCAA Championships in La Crosse, Wis. Reilly is looking to become just the third national champion in Monarchs’ history, joining Dave Morgan who won consecutive championships in 2007 and 2008. Reilly earned All-American status last year by finishing sixth at 174 pounds. Even though Reilly took second at the Metropolitan Conference championships after three metro titles, he still has a 28-3 record this season, jumping to second all-time in school history with 123 wins. The schools leader in wins is Mitch Marcks, who racked up 144 from 2001-2004. Reilly’s three losses this season are all to nationally-ranked opponents in the same bracket, but they are seeded on the opposite side.

herst, the undefeated defending national champion. Amherst is ranked No. 1 in the nation in the Division III coaches poll. The winners of both games will meet at 6 p.m. Saturday right back at Amherst’s LeFrak Gymnasium with a trip to the Final Four on the line. Emmanuel (24-6) enters on a 12game winning streak. The Saints have dominated the GNAC, claiming their sixth straight conference title this season while going unbeaten in league play. King’s, meanwhile, has to move on from a hectic week and another emotional win. The Lady Monarchs are used to frantic finishes, having essentially won at the buzzer on the road at Manhattanville and in the Freedom Conference semifinals against Eastern. On the season, King’s is 10-1 in games decided by seven points or less. “We’ve been through it a couple of

Dattolo, a 149-pounder, is a two-time Metro Conference champion and is trying to become the first backto-back All-American for head coach Jon Laudenslager after Reilly taking eighth last year, which was the last time he lost. The senior enters with a 30-0 record and advanced to the quarters of the 2011 event. Wilson is making his first appearance at the Dattolo tournament after earning a wild-card selection. The 141-pound senior took second at the Metro Championships and enters with a 26-8 record. Fleck is just a freshman, but he enters with a 37-7 record and is coming off a second-place finish at the conference tournament. His performance at the conference event also won him the Rookie of the Year award at the tourney. His 37 wins this season set a school mark, passing John Conti’s 36 in the 1999-2000 season. Since early January, Fleck has gone 23-2.

Scott shares first-round lead at Doral The Associated Press

DORAL, Fla. — Playing only his sixth round of the year, Adam Scott faced a strong test Thursday at Doral and never looked better. In fierce and relentless wind on the TPC Blue Monster at Doral, Scott kept the ball in play and then hung on for dear life for a 6-under 66 that gave him a share of the lead with Jason Dufner in the Cadillac Championship. It was a battle all day for Rory McIlroy in his first event at No. 1 in the world. He twice flirted with the water, had a three-putt bogey and wound up with a 73. Tiger Woods wasn’t much better. He began his round with a tap-in eagle on the par-5 first hole, but narrowly missed the fairways and had a tough time figuring out the wind and

whether the ball would jump out of the rough. Woods badly misjudged the line of his chip on the 18th hole and closed with a bogey for a 72. It wasn’t a devastating start for either of them. Only a dozen players managed to break 70, and a dozen more broke par. PUERTO RICO OPEN RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico — Matt Jones and George McNeill topped the leaderboard at 6-under 66 in strong wind in the PGA Tour’s Puerto Rico Open. Jones, from Australia, eagled the par-5 second hole and had five birdies and a bogey on the Trump International course. McNeill, the former Florida State player who won the 2007 Frys.com Open for his lone PGA Tour title, had a bogey-free round.

How area wrestlers fared

CLASS 3A

By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

Continued from Page 1B

Area’s Chris Wesolowski – dropped their first match but won their second to stay in medal contention. In Emerick’s match, the only point awarded came in the third period when the Crusader chose bottom position and notched an escape. Emerick, who has been noted this season to pile up back points and pin his opponents, decided to take a cautious approach and chose bottom instead of top. “A win’s a win. If it’s 1-0 or it’s a pin in 30 seconds,” Emerick said. “If I had chose top and he escaped anyway then I would have to work for that last takedown so coaches put me on bottom and get that lead and work from there.” Up next for Emerick is defending state champion Averee Robinson from Susquehanna Township. Robinson, who earned a scholarship to play football at Temple next season, pinned his opponent in 1:38 as he ran his record to 39-3 this season. “I’m looking forward to it. The only way you can get better is wrestling better kids than you,” the Coughlin standout said. “I want to be up there where he was so I just got to wrestle my hardest. Whatever way it goes, I’m still wrestling.” Hankinson pulled off a dramatic 3-1 win in overtime. After his opponent CanonMcMillan’s Dario Dobbin – a seventh-place state medalist last season – tied the score at 1-1 in the third period, the match went to overtime. The two grappled near the end of the mat early in the suddendeath session in a flurry where either wrestler could have been awarded two points for a takedown, but the officials ruled the two out of bounds. About 25 seconds later, Hankinson finally got the two points for a takedown and ended the bout with 20 seconds remaining for career win No. 96. “I’m usually good with capitalizing on their mistakes. He took a bad shot and I turned around, he was down and I came out on top,” Hankinson said. The Comet standout, who improved his seasonal record to 28-3, will face state runner-up from a year ago in the quarterfinals when he matches up with Chambersburg junior Garett Hammond (36-4). But Hankinson showed his potential Thursday and he’s entering with confidence. “It’s definitely a big win. I love it and ... it feels good to represent Crestwood and show them what we got,” he added. “I just want to keep winning until I get to that podium spot.” Hoffman lost to Council Rock South’s P.J. Steinmetz for the fourth time this season with the 6-2 setback in the first round. The Cougar’s 195-pound senior was aggressive against Steinmetz, but one time it didn’t work in his favor as the CRS junior countered a shot and worked a takedown. Hoffman, however, came back from that tough loss to defeat his next opponent, Hunter Hatlee from Wilson, by fall in 3:17. Hoffman’s previous three losses to Steinmetz were by one point each and Steinmetz is now accountable for four Hoffman’s five losses this season. “It was killer (getting over the loss) because I didn’t show it, but I know I could’ve beat that kid. I knew he was tired, if you just give me an extra minute I was there,” Hoffman said. “All the stuff I do in the early mornings I don’t want that to go to waste. I want to leave here with a medal. Third is going to be my state championship, so I’ll shoot for another goal.” Wesolowski, a 285-pound senior, dropped a 6-2 decision to Kiski Area’s Shane Kuhn in the prelims. He went to the first round of consolations and won 3-1 over Interboro sophomore Matt Gould on a takedown with 1 second left in the sudden-death overtime period. The overtime was forced after Wesolowski was called for stalling late in the third period and evened the score at 1-1. “It sucked,” Wesolowski said about the stalling call giving Gould a point. “I didn’t know what I was called stalling for. And then I had him in a side headlock he stopped me there too, I didn’t know what I was doing either.”

Here’s how the 16 District 2 wrestlers fared on Thursday, the first day of the PIAA Championships:

CLASS 2A Dominic DeGraba, Dallas (106): Was defeated by Wilson Area’s Jaryd Flank, 10-3 in the preliminaries. He then dropped into the consolations and lost to Austin Griffiths from Southmoreland 4-1 and was eliminated.

Meyers’ Darren Stucker, left, works to escape against his 145-pound opponent Kody Pace of Fort LeBoeuf Thursday morning at the PIAA Class 2A Wrestling Championships.

Meyers’ progress evident By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

HERSHEY – Just a few years ago, Meyers was at the bottom of the Wyoming Valley Conference standings. The tradition-rich program, which has won the most state championships in District 2 with 13, was battling through a winless 2007-08 conference season. Then came a stellar freshman class led by Darren Stucker and Vito Pasone that helped return the team back to respectability with a district duals championship in 2011 and a third-place showing in the district team standings just a few weeks ago. While Pasone’s quest for a state championship in the PIAA Class 2A championships at 113 pounds is still alive, Stucker was dispatched at 145 losing twice. The senior still ends his career with 87 career wins, two district championships, a regional bronze medal and a regional fourth-place showing. Perhaps most importantly, he was a big part of the restoration process for the Mohawks. “He’s been one of our key guys all the way through. He just works hard all the time. He’s a great role model for the younger guys coming in,” Meyers coach Ron Swingle said. “He’s done a tremendous amount of work and really helped step us up a notch. He’s going to be a hard one to replace. He’s a good kid.” COOLING DOWN After a grueling six-minute match to open the PIAA Class 2A Championships, Wyoming Area’s Andy Schutz wasn’t about to relax. Immediately after his preliminary round win over South Huntingdon’s Brennan Shields, Schutz wasn’t done working. The 132-pound junior sprinted over to the scorer’s table with his winning bout sheet then ran into the back and completed more sprints. “Just get a cool down,” Schutz said. “To make sure I’m not cramping up or anything so I’m ready for the next match.” RANGERS WIN TWO Northwest hasn’t had a wrestling program in many years,

ond period before he finally shook off the antsy feelings and notched a fall. The pin came at the 5:03 mark with the Mohawk up 7-1. That’s when White was trying to come out from the bottom and Pasone threw in a headlock and notched the pin. “I was hoping to build up a bigger lead than that because at one point it got a little close and he was getting close on some shots,” Pasone said. “To get that first-round pin is big, but now it’s a step on what I really want to achieve.” In today’s quarters, Pasone will face Ligonier Valley’s Joshua Patrick, who Pasone defeat-

Vito Pasone, Meyers (113): Pinned Bishop McDevitt’s Terrence White in 5:03 in the preliminary round. Up Next: The senior will face Joshua Patrick from Ligonier Valley in today’s quarterfinals. Pasone defeated Patrick 7-4 in last year’s first round. Austin Harry, Lake-Lehman (126): Won with a fall in 3:59 over Philadelphia-Mont Christian’s Richie Cerebe in the preliminaries. Up Next: The sophomore at 38-1 will take on Nick Zanetta (39-3) from Keystone Oaks in the quarters. Zanetta won with a 9-0 decision in his first match. Andy Schutz,Wyoming Area (132): With a 7-0 victory over Brennon shields of South Huntingdon in the preliminary round, Schutz advanced. Up Next: A junior with a mark of 31-3, the Warrior will see Laike Gardner (38-4) from Biglerville in the quarters. Gardner won his first bout 4-2.

Wyoming Area’s Andrew Schutz, back, controls Brennon Shields of South Huntingdon during 132-pound Class 2A action of the PIAA Wrestling Championships in Hershey Thursday morning.

N O T E S but the Rangers have been in a co-operational with Benton. This year, two wrestlers who attend Northwest have advanced to the Class 2A PIAA Championships and won their matches. Senior Jake Mankey won his 182-pound preliminary match 4-3 over Eastern York’s Alex Cooley in overtime. The Northeast Regional champion is now 39-1 this season. Junior Matt Welliver, a 113pounder, won his first bout with a 12-6 decision over Trey Constable from Brookville. Welliver, a third-place medalist from the Northeast Regional, improved his record to 31-7 CHAMPS GET THROUGH As expected all seven past state champions in Class 2A won their first round matches Thursday morning. The list also includes a two-time West Virginia champion in Trinity 126-pounder Ryan Diehl. The same occurred in Class 3A where the nine returning champions all won.

was the only unbeaten in either classification to be hit with a loss. Lackawanna Trail’s Eric Laytos (2A, 220 pounds) and Coughlin’s Brad Emerick (3A, 285) extended their winning streaks this season to 36 and 40, respectively. FASTEST FALLS The first day of action consisted of just three falls under one minute in Class 2A. One of those came by Lackawanna Trail’s Eric Laytos, who pinned his opponent in 33 seconds. That was just the second quickest of the day. The fastest fall belongs to one of the 20 unbeatens left in the state, Cody Copeland from Greenville. He got his freshman 152-pound opponent to his back in 8 seconds. There were no pins under a minute in the first round of the Class 3A tourney.

ONE UNBEATEN UPSET The first undefeated wrestler to get a number in the loss column went to Class 2A 132pounder James Dodson from Claysburg Kimmel. The Southwest Regional champion was pinned by the Southeast No. 5 seed in the first round, Pottstown’s Trenton Clifford. He

EARLY MILESTONE Norristown is known for getting its wrestlers a good number of bouts in every season. And it showed once again on Thursday in the PIAA Class 3A Championships when sophomore Mikey Springer won career bout No. 100. That’s right, the 138-pounder is just a sophomore. He had 50 wins as a freshman and his 50th this season came in the first round of consolations.

ed in last year’s first round. Harry was trailing 2-0 after getting caught in an underhook and being taken down just two seconds into the match against Philadelphia-Mont Christian’s Richie Cerebe. But Harry didn’t allow another point and got a fall with a bar tilt just before the second period ended in 3:59. He will take on Keystone Oaks’ Nick Zanetta in the quarterfinals. “I was surprised (about the fast takedown). But nothing you can do about that, you just have to keep wrestling,” noted Harry, who won his first match last year but was eliminated after that and didn’t medal. “I said I wanted to place this year and that’s one match; one to go.” Schutz, Wyoming Area’s first participant since 1996, rolled to

a 7-0 win over Brennon Shields from South Huntingdon at 132. Even though the junior admitted to being jittery, he didn’t show any nervousness. He got a takedown before three back points to open a 5-0 lead at the end of the first period. If not for an impressive bridge by Shields, Schutz would have got a pin as well. A third-period reversal accounted for the other two points in the shutout for the Warrior. “It’s a nice feeling when you get a nice three-count, you’re pretty much cruising then so it felt good.,” Schutz said about his back points. “It’s halfway (to a medal). That first match is half the battle.” Schutz’s next opponent is Biglerville senior Laike Gardner, the champion from the Southwest Regional.

Darren Stucker, Meyers (145): In his first career state bout, the senior was pinned by Fort LeBoeuf in 3:41 to fall into the consolation bracket, where he faced Eli Brill from Pine Grove and couldn’t stave off elimination losing 8-1. Eric Laytos, Lackawanna Trail (220): In the first round against Camp Hill’s Gus Botdorf, Laytos picked up a fall in 33 seconds. Up Next: The 2010 state champion will see Seneca’s Matt Mongera in today’s quarterfinals. Joe Ingaglio, Western Wayne (285): He lost 10-5 against Northern Bedford’s Quinton Hixson to drop into the consolations. In the loser’s bracket, he defeated Omri Johnson from Milton Hershey, 4-1. Up Next: In the second round of consolations, he will see the loser of the quarterfinal bout between Nazar Minorenko from Mifflinburg and Kirby Mutton from Pen Argyl.

CLASS 3A C.J. Palmer, Delaware Valley (126): The senior lost 2-0 to Central Dauphin’s Tyson Dippery in the preliminaries. In the first round of consolations, he knocked off Strath Haven’s Tyler Clapp, 11-0.

Up Next: In the second round of consolations, he will see either Dustin Rook from Big Spring or Blue Mountain’s Corey Keener. Kyle Hankinson, Crestwood (145): In the prelims, he faced Dario Dobbin from CanonMcMillan and won 3-1 in overtime. Up Next: The senior will face Chambersburg’s Garett Hammond in the quarterfinals. Michael Carr, Abington Heights (152): Against Garrett Peppelman from Central Dauphin, he lost via tech fall 18-1 in 2:44 to fall into the consolation bracket. In the consolations, he lost via tech fall to Boyertown’s Tyler Manion and was eliminated. Mark Granahan, Scranton (160): In a preliminary bout versus Greater Latrobe’s Zack Zavatsky, he lost 7-3.

Chad Hoffman of Hazleton, top, moves in on P.J. Steinmetz of Council Rock during 185-pound Class 3A action at the PIAA Wrestling Championships Thursday night in Hershey.

A pair of other WVC standouts didn’t fare as well, getting eliminated from Class 2A competition. Dallas’ Dominic DeGraba and Meyers’ Darren Stucker both lost their first two matches. DeGraba, a 106-pound junior, ended his season with a 42-10 mark and a regional and district championship. He lost a pair of decisions, 10-3 and 4-1, on Thursday. Being an underclassmen, it was a learning experience for DeGraba, who will look to advance again next season as the Mountaineers bump up to Class 3A. “You got 16 of the best wrestlers in the state down here. There are no bad wrestlers here,” Dallas coach Mike Richards said. “I think he wres-

tled to his capability, it just didn’t go his way. “He’s already talking next year and he wants to be back here and I think that’s going to drive him in getting the feel for it and the taste for it. Even though we’re going triple A I don’t see a reason why he can’t. I think he’s good enough to do that.” Stucker saw his season end, getting pinned in the preliminaries and losing via an 8-1 decision in the first round of consolations. The 145-pound senior ended his season with a 24-7 record. “He wrestled nervous today,” Meyers coach Ron Swingle said about his 145-pounder. “Once the matches got going, he was fine but he gave up too much in the beginning and dug himself a hole.”

Munroe is ready to hit the road It’s not the type of game that Scott Munroe wants to be remembered by. Nor is it the type of game that the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins goaltender wants to remember. That’s why Munroe is looking forward to this weekend’s road trip, which kicks off tonight in Providence with a matchup against the Bruins. For the Penguins, playing three roads games in three days this weekend is a chance to put Tuesday’s 5-2 loss to St. John’s behind them. For Munroe, who gave up three goals on three shots before being pulled in the first period, the road trip is a chance for redemption. “You don’t want to sit on a game like that for too long,” he said after Thursday’s practice at Coal Street. “It will be nice to get back in there and wipe the slate clean.” Munroe is also looking forward to a heavy workload, just like he expected to receive when Brad Thiessen was called up to Pittsburgh late last month. But an injury forced Munroe to miss most of the Feb. 25 contest against Syracuse and the next game against Norfolk. He returned with a strong start during a 3-2 win in Adirondack, but lasted only 13 minutes against St. John’s. With the injury healed and a busy weekend coming up, Munroe is anxious to get back to work.

On Saturday, April 7, former Philadelphia Phillies Greg “The Bull” Luzinski and Tommy Greene will be at the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins’ game against the Connecticut Whale to sign autographs and drop the puck during a ceremonial face-off. Fans will have the opportunity to attend a special VIP Meet and Greet with Luzinski and Green prior to the game. Only 100 tickets are available for this exclusive event, taking place from 4:45-5:45 p.m. at Stix Bar on the concourse level of Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza. Cost of the tickets is $50 and includes admission to the Meet and Greet, a ticket to the Penguins game that evening, finger food, an 8x10 color photo of each player and a Penguins baseball. Fans that already have a ticket to the Penguins game on April 7 can purchase a Meet and Greet ticket for $30. Luzinski and Greene will also be signing autographs on the concourse from 6-6:45 p.m. Admission to the session is $10 and also includes a photo and autograph from each player. Tickets must be purchased through the Penguins’ Front Office by calling 208-PENS.

“I’m looking forward to it. This is something I focused on if Brad did get called up then I’d have a chance to take the ball and play some games,” Munroe said. “Unfortunately, with the injury, I wasn’t able to play as many as I’d like. We have a good situation now with three games in three nights, and I expect to play and play well.” Although Munroe says he’s healthy, head coach John Hynes will still be careful not to overwork his starting netminder. Hynes said rookie backup Patrick Killeen will get a start in one game during the weekend. “We’ll see how (Munroe) feels each day. If he feels he can play, he’ll go,” Hynes said. “We’ll make the decision after each morning skate.”

Ex-Phils at Pens game

AHL

WBS Penguins goaltender hopes three away games can erase Tuesday’s home loss.

POWER PLAY NOT A CONCERN After connecting for five power-play goals in five games, the Penguins failed to score on six chances against St. John’s on Tuesday. Defenseman Alex Grant said there isn’t any reason to worry about the power play and the team just needs to get back to basics. “Recover pucks, get them back to the shooters and shoot more and get them on net,” he said. “We have to get back to that. It’s worked the last two months and I don’t think we should panic.”

Tuesday’s 5-2 loss to St. John’s behind them. “You have a tough game like that or a performance you’re not happy with, you can park it behind you the next couple days and have another game to focus on,” he said. “It helps get the bad taste out of your mouth.”

BAD TASTE The Penguins will begin a stretch of three games in three days tonight against Providence, followed by a Saturday night match in Bridgeport and a Sunday afternoon contest in Springfield. Forward Brian Gibbons said the road trip may be just what the team needs to put

INJURY UPDATE Winger Bryan Lerg, who sat out Tuesday’s game with a lower body injury, is considered day-to-day heading into the weekend. Winger Geoff Walker didn’t practice on Thursday and is also considered day-to-day with a lower body injury.

karate, Judo, boxing, wrestling, and other styles. Most are taught by Geo at his training center. While Geo has undoubtedly found success in his path, it was once a path originally intended to head in a different direction all together. “When I first wanted to get involved in something I wanted to be a boxer,” said Geo, whose father was a Golden Gloves award winner and whose cousin, Vito Antuofermo, was world middleweight champion in 1979. Geo wanted to follow in the family footsteps, but went his own way after some pleadings from a family member.

and use our quickness to our advantage,” Wolfe added. “We know we’re going to be quicker than whoever is defending us.” “At first, you learn to just get to your spot,” Holl said of rebounding. “If they are taller than you, then you box out and be aggressive.” The longtime teammates are hoping for an extended playoff run, and are looking forward to matchups against the 6-foot-plus centers they’ll see along the way. Unless Yendrzeiwski stands in the paint at practice, the only time

“My mom didn’t want me to do. She said I had too nice a nose and didn’t want to see me break it,” said Geo with a laugh. Now, at Geo’s School of Combat Arts, students can learn Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai kickboxing, Russian Sambo, wrestling, Chin style Tai Chi, Chin Na, Chi Do and even yoga. “I started in a traditional style of karate and I learned throws and striking and all that, I just stuck with it,” said Geo. “Once a got my black belt I started training with Ed Martin. I consider myself a true student of the martial arts. I’ve tried Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, I’ve tried Muay Thai and I just loved it.” Geo’s fondness for the sport and his desire to make the practicing and working out not just a learning experience but something enjoyable is something that keeps his students – whether serious competitors like Mo-

nahan or the more recreational – coming back to the gym. “It’s the family atmosphere,” said King Adjei-Frimpong, 26, of Wilkes-Barre. “Everybody gets along, Coach Mike is very approachable. Whether it be about the fighting or just my life he’s very easy to talk to. Some gyms focus just on the fighting, but it’s not like that here.” Adjei-Frimpong will also be competing in the Brawl. “It’s going to be my first tournament, but I’ve been coached pretty well. I’m a little nervous, but I think I’m going to do well.” Along with Adjei-Frimpong, Robert Lawler and Megan Devaney, both students of Geo, will also be competing at the event, which will feature ten bouts starting at 7 p.m. Doors will open at 6 p.m. and tickets are $25 for general admission. Tickets can be purchased by calling Jim Thorpe Memorial Hall.

they see such opposition is in the heat of battle. “It’s always fun working against each other in practice,” Wolfe said. “She’s taught me to go after the ball. Alex is definitely an aggressive rebounder. I know when she gets into the game, she can get the job done.” Holl has learned plenty, too, which is why she is able to have an impact in the limited minutes she usually sees as a reserve. “I’ve learned pretty much everything from her,” Holl said of Wolfe. “I just learn from her being in the game and watching her play.” Nanticoke’s offense works from the outside in, as the Trojanettes lead the WVC in scoring and threepoint goals. The 13-player roster

features nine guards. Yet Wolfe was the team’s leading scorer (12.9 ppg) and Holl can score in bunches, as she did against Honesdale in the district final with eight points in the fourth quarter. Yet the vocal student section has yet to clamor for Yendrzeiwski to put his twin towers on the floor at the same time. “No … but it would be nice,” Wolfe said. “It would be great if he put us in together.” The lifelong teammates know that, from here on out, every game could be their last together. “I’m definitely going to miss her, having her as a teammate,” Holl said. Both hope that time doesn’t come for a few more weeks.

Syracuse ends UConn’s postseason magic Official who ejected ex-players not at tourney

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Dion Waiters had 18 points and James Southerland scored all 10 of his points in the final 8 minutes to lead No. 2 Syracuse to a 58-55 victory over Connecticut on Thursday in the quarterfinals of the Big East tournament, snapping the Huskies’ 13-game postseason winning streak. The top-seeded Orange (31-1) won their 11th straight game overall and advanced to face Cincinnati in the semifinals tonight at Madison Square Garden. But not before these rivals added another chapter to their Big East tournament history. Shabazz Napier had 15 points and Andre Drummond added 14 for the ninth-seeded Huskies (20-13), who were trying to duplicate last year’s first-ever five-game run to the Big East tournament title that was followed by a six-game streak that brought the school its third national championship. In the semifinals last year, Connecticut beat the Orange 76-71 in overtime. In the previous meeting in the tournament in 2009, Syracuse won 127-117 in a six-overtime quarterfinal. Cincinnati 72, Georgetown 70 Cashmere Wright banked in a runner with 7.6 seconds left, and Cincinnati beat Georgetown in another multiple-OT classic at the Big East tournament. The fourth-seeded Bearcats (23-9) trailed by 11 points midway through the second half of the quarterfinal but rallied behind Yancy Gates, who scored 23 points in his back-and-forth, big-man duel with Henry Sims. Gates scored twice in the last 2 minutes of regulation to give the Bearcats their first lead since midway through the first half. The Hoyas’ Otto Porter sent the game to overtime when his jumper bounced in with 3.6 seconds remaining. Sims, who had 22 points and 15 rebounds,

ATLANTA — An official who ejected two former North Carolina State stars from the stands last month is not taking part in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament. The league issued a statement Thursday saying Karl Hess -- a Shickshinny native who played under the great Eddie Gayeski at Northwest -- decided not to officiate in Atlanta because he “did not want to take away from the ACC tournament, its teams and the players.” The ACC says the other officials “agreed to respect” the decision by Hess. Hess worked during the Big East tournament in New York. He officiated the Marquette-Louisville game Thursday. On Feb. 18, Tom Gugliotta and Chris Corchiani were ejected from their seats by Hess during a game in Raleigh, N.C., between the Wolfpack and Florida State. Hess told ACC officials that the former players weren’t ejected for anything they said, but for “excessive demonstration on several calls.” The league reviewed the incident and publicly reprimanded Hess.

Wearing a new set of bright orange, neon-looking uniforms, the seventh-seeded Cardinals flashed their quick hands all over the court and held Big East Player of the Year Jae Crowder to 10 points in 31 foul-plagued minutes.

Despite stock comeback investors scarce

B R I E F

Household net worth rises

Household net worth increased 2.1 percent to $58.5 trillion in the OctoberDecember quarter, the Federal Reserve said Thursday. That’s the biggest increase in a year and it partially offsets a 4.2 percent drop in wealth over the summer. Americans’ stock portfolios rose nearly 10 percent last quarter to drive the gains. Household wealth, or net worth, is the value of assets like homes, bank accounts and stocks, minus debts like mortgages and credit cards. It bottomed out during the recession at $49 billion in the first quarter of 2009. Yet it would still have to rise an additional 13 percent to regain its pre-recession peak of $66 trillion.

By BERNARD CONDON and MATTHEW CRAFT AP Business Writers

NEW YORK — The stock market is missing you. For more than three years, ordinary investors disgusted with wild swings have pulled money out of stocks. They’ve missed a breathtaking bull market: The Dow Jones industrial average has almost doubled from its low point during the Great Recession on March 9, 2009.

In the meantime, corporate America has racked up doubledigit profit gains. If investors valued stocks at normal historical levels based on profits, we would be celebrating Dow 15,000, not Dow 13,000. But the profit explosion is over, and the Wall Street pros who trade stocks mostly for big institutions and the rich are getting antsy. They’ve been doing the buying. And if Main Street doesn’t join them, the historic rally could slow or even end.

The Dow closed above 13,000 last week for the first time since May 2008, four months before the financial crisis. In a sense, the milestone was disappointing: Profits are at an all-time high, yet the Dow is well below its record of 14,164, set in October 2007. Even though profits are growing, individual investors aren’t buying. That shows up in something called the multiple — the ratio of what investors are willing to pay for a company’s stock, compared with its

Gambling in cards in Catskills

Mericle Commercial Real Estate Services has begun constructing a 42,000-square-foot speculative office building near the main entrance of the Corporate Center at East Mountain in Plains Township. The site is at the intersection of East Mountain Boulevard and Baltimore Drive on a 6.6-acre parcel. Construction, begun in August, is wrapping up on a 25,200-square-foot speculative office building on an adjacent site. The interior is being customized for a firm that has agreed to lease the entire building.

The Associated Press

THOMPSON, N.Y. — Plans to develop a $600 million resort with gambling on the site of the grandest old Borscht Belt hotel are being revived. The proposal to be unveiled Thursday night at a town meeting will include a large hotel, a golf course, a harness track and video lottery terminals on the former site of the massive Concord Hotel, famed from the days when the Catskills were a prime destination for summer tourists, many of them Jewish families up from New York City. The Monticello Raceway, with its video lottery terminals, would move from its current location several miles away to become part of the resort, according to the proposal to be outlined by track operator Empire Resorts and land owner Entertainment Properties Trust. The announcement comes as New York appears closer to expanding gambling beyond video devices at “racinos” to allow casinos, which are now permitted only on tribal land. Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo supports a constitutional amendment to change that. Greg Silvers, chief operating officer of Kansas City, Mo.-based Entertainment Properties, said the trust is committed to the project regardless of whether New York expands gambling, though casino expansion in New York would be “a positive.” “With a lot of these projects, if you followed its tortured history, it’s been about people making promises and failing to keep those,” Silvers said. “So our stated goal is to under-promise and over-deliver.” The developers were withholding details about the proposal until the public meeting.

PC shipments lagging

Research firm Gartner is forecasting that PC shipments will grow 4.4 percent worldwide this year after a small drop in 2011. That’s relatively weak growth as consumer attention turns to tablets, such as the new iPad going on sale next week. Relief for the PC industry could come when Microsoft releases a new version of Windows later this year and PC makers design more machines that combine the convenience of tablets with the utility of a laptop computer.

Fender, maker of legendary guitars, files for IPO

Slightly more Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week. But the overall level stayed low enough to suggest the job market is strengthening. Applications have fallen 14 percent since October. The steady decline has coincided with three months of big hiring gains.

NEW YORK — An instrumental piece of rock and roll history is going public. Fender Musical Instruments Corp., the maker of legendary guitars strummed by the likes of Buddy Holly, Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, filed papers Thursday for a $200 million initial public offering. Founded in 1946 by Leo Fender, the company created the Telecaster and Stratocaster guitars in the 1950s. The “Strat,” a favorite of Hendrix and scores of others, went on sale in 1954. It had a sturdy, all-wood body that could stand up to repeated abuse, making it popular in the rock and roll world. In its filing with the SEC, Fender said it’s the country’s biggest seller of

In the five years through 1986, stocks in the S&P 500 nearly doubled while earnings slipped 2 percent.

That assumes they will pick up toward the end of the year. That would be a healthy gain but will leave the index short of its record high unless investors get more excited. The modest profit picture

The party is over...for now. That 68 degree high on Thursday left us yearning for more, and the good news is that another big warm-up will come on the heels of the cold wave now moving into town with gusty northwest winds. But this cold spell will only last two days, forcing temperatures down into the 20s tonight under clear skies. Despite a bite in the air all day tomorrow, our Saturday will feature a very sunny sky along with light winds. The party resumes in high gear on Sunday when we can expect beautiful parade weather here in town under sunny skies and warmer temperatures.

You Have Nothing to Lose, Except Some Unwanted Pounds of Body FAT! Personal Training For Everyone... Here’s What Others...Just Like You...Have To Say About The Results They Achieved With This One of a Kind Program!

I had always been overweight, but I had reached

my highest weight ever in the summer of 2011. I had weighed in at 275 lbs., I finally realized that it was time to start dieting and going to the gym to lose weight. Besides high school gym class I had never worked out a day in my life. I joined Odyssey in August of 2011 and I had also signed up for a personal trainer. With the help of trainer Paul Pruce I have dropped over 30 lbs. in a little over 6 months. I am still about 30 lbs. away from my goal, and I am hoping that with continued help from Paul, that I will reach that goal soon!

NATIONAL FORECAST: Showers and thunderstorms will be widespread across the southern tier of states today. Expect rain and snow showers across parts of the Southwest, as well. Snow showers will cross the eastern Great Lakes later in the afternoon as colder air surges into the area. Meanwhile, look for rain to push into the Northwest ahead of an approaching cold front.
