TYLER WINSTEAD CASE

FRIDAY, APRIL 13, 2012

Police searched home near site of boy’s shooting earlier this week

Search warrant creates mystery By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A search warrant application that has been redacted by law enforcement officials could explain the link between a house and the shooting death of a city teen. Elijah Yusiff said he was the last person known to see Tyler Winstead alive on the night of April 5.

Yusiff, living at 117 Hill St., claimed he heard a gunshot and saw a man driving away in a red vehicle. Yusiff Tyler, 14, was found outside Yusiff’s house with a fatal gunshot wound to his chest.

Seminary eyes street closure

Investigators earlier this week served a search warrant at Yusiff’s house. While the three-page search warrant affidavit was sealed, the top half of the application was redacted from the sealed envelope that is in a safe at the county Clerk of Courts Office. The application is usually attached on the outside of the sealed documents. A search warrant application

KINGSTON -- Gene Stilp brought two of his pink pigs to Thursday night’s debate, but he was asked to deflate them by Wyoming Seminary officials. But Stilp’s spirits weren’t deflated, as he and Bill Vinsko -- the two Democratic candidates in the 11th Congressional District -squared off in a debate before about 100 people in the Buckingham ELECTION Performing Arts Center. In a show of respect, Stilp and Vinsko signed a “Clean Campaign Pledge,” noting that with 12 days left until the April 24th primary, they have not engaged in negative campaigning. The winner of the primary will face incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta of Hazleton in the November general election. “Good campaigns start at home,” Stilp said. “We can set an example for other races.” Vinsko agreed, saying he will work with Stilp after the primary “regard-

WILKES-BARRE – Thursday’s Wall Street Journal featured a national story on congressional redistricting, with Pennsylvania’s 11th District the main focus of the report. Written by Naftali Bendavid, the story addresses the GOP-favored congressional redistricting, resulting in U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta’s improved chances for re-election. Bendavid wrote: “In seeking re-election, Republican Rep. Lou Barletta might expect to be getting clobbered. Elected in 2010 from a Democratic-leaning district where he lost twice before, he proceeded to vote a nearly straight Republican Party line in Congress, and faced such hostility at town-hall meetings back home that he stopped doing them for a while. “But at a recent reception here, Mr. Barletta was greeted by ‘Lou!’ signs and constituents who mur-

and general manager for Certech North America, wouldn’t say where the other facility is located, only that it is outside Pennsylvania, or how many layoffs would take place there, because the plant consolidation has not been announced at that plant. “The Pennsylvania facility is newer with a good work force with good performance,” Kuzdzal said. “And it’s nice to reward that effort and accomplishment with additional work and job security.” The company also received a total of $346,000 in funding from the Department of Community and Economic Development, including $160,000 in job creation tax credits, $36,000 in job-training assistance and a $150,000 state grant. Larry Newman, vice president of Economic and Community Development for the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Busi-

ness and Industry, called the expansion of the Hanover Township plant a victory for the area that recognizes the strong manufacturing base in Northeastern Pennsylvania. “It’s always critical for our community to be able to demonstrate that we have the ability to compete for jobs,” he said. “And we’re happy that in this case we demonstrated that consolidating the operations here in greater WilkesBarre was the better option. “Obviously this community has a larger percentage of its employment in manufacturing than in other areas of the country,” he continued. “We believe that while most manufacturers are now facing the realities of competition in a global market … we are finding that many of the area’s manufacturers are able to compete on that global stage but also able to win.” Kuzdzal said Certech began

Experience and special skills are not required for most positions, Kuzdzal said. “Certech prefers a good work ethic over experience. We will train for each position,” he said. Most new jobs will be entrylevel positions in the manufacturing of ceramics for the aerospace industry and will not require manufacturing experience or heavy lifting, though some engineering and skilled positions also will be available. All positions will be full time, though receipt of benefits will be contingent on completion of a training period, Kuzdzal said. He said the starting entry level pay is around $10 an hour.

WILKES-BARRE – Over the objections of a few residents, City Council on Thursday night unanimously voted to inquire whether anyone would lease the parking meters, garages and lots for at least $20 million. By a 5-0 vote, council agreed to work in conjunction with the WilkesBarre Parking Authority to issue a Request for Qualifications from firms interested in the plan proposed Monday by Mayor Tom Leighton. The plan called for a long-term lease, either 30 or 50 years, of the parking assets in exchange for an upfront minimum payment to pay for public safety, infrastructure improvements, blight removal in the city and other general government ex- “There penses.

She also wanted to know who would own the assets at the end of the lease and what it will cost taxpayers. “Why are we doing a deal like this?” she asked. Mark Robbins of Forty Fort, another critic of the mayor, called the deal “completely bogus” and “completely illegitimate.” Before he was ordered led out of council chambers by a police officer, Bob Kadluboski asked that the vote be put off until more facts are available. “Let’s put this on hold until we can find out exactly what’s going on,” he said.

Flora seeks court order to hire more public defenders The motion portrays a ‘crisis’ in the office, which represents the indigent. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Chief Public Defender Al Flora Jr. on Thursday filed a motion seeking a court order that would permit him to immediately hire six more attorneys and direct Luzerne County to pay private attorneys to represent indigent defendants who have been denied representation by his office. The motion, filed by the American

Civil Liberties Union, requests the court grant the relief immediately to address the “crisis” that has developed within the Public Defender’s Office due to a Flora lack of staffing. Flora on Tuesday filed a class-action lawsuit against the county that seeks to force it to increase funding for his office so that he can hire additional attorneys. The court motion filed Thursday, known as a peremptory writ of mandamus, would allow Flora to obtain part of the relief he is requesting while other aspects of the lawsuit re-

forced to attend court hearings on their own, the suit says. A writ of mandamus is a legal action that is brought to compel a government entity to fund services it is legally obligated to provide. In this case, the county is obligated by the U.S. and Pennsylvania Constitutions to provide legal representation for defendants who cannot afford to hire an attorney.

He also is asking a judge to order the county to lift a hiring freeze, which would permit him to fill four vacant positions that are included in the 2012 budget, as well as two additional attorneys to handle appeals and an additional secretary. Luzerne County Senior Judge Joseph Augello has scheduled a hearing on the motion for 10 a.m. May 10. In a related matter, a federal judge on Thursday scheduled a hearing for April 20 on Flora’s motion for an injunction that would prevent the county from firing him in retaliation for filing the class-action lawsuit. The motion will be heard at 9:30 a.m. by U.S. District Judge A. Richard Caputo in the federal courthouse in Wilkes-Barre.

But Barrett said council would be remiss if it didn’t explore the possibility of leasing the assets, and putting out the RFP could answer some of those questions. “There may be no one interested in this particular project,” he said. “There may be many.” Not all the meeting was devoted to the lease.

THE STEPS If approved by the legislature and signed into law by the governor, here are the steps that would be needed to get a dedicated tax for transportation projects: • First, a group of regional leaders would meet with District PennDOT officials to compile a list of projects to be funded by the additional 1 percent sales tax. • Then the list would be whittled down to meet a budget based on

enough money to make a difference. One way to raise money is to increase the state’s gasoline tax, something few would stomach with gas at $4 a gallon. “The gas tax increase is not wildly embraced, to put it mildly,” Carroll noted.

ers to increase their taxes poses a challenge, some of those who discussed the plan noted on Thursday. “How do we fund transportation while facing the worst eco-

nomic condition since the Great Depression?” asked Doug Callaway, executive director of the Georgia Transportation Alliance. “In Georgia we came up with a different approach. We’ll know on Aug. 1 whether we were successful,” he said. The way the proposal is sold to the voters could be the key in whether it passes or not, Callaway said. “At the end of the day, it’s not a sales tax we’re talking about. It’s more jobs, safer roads and local control,” Callaway said. His comment that chambers of commerce, construction companies and other firms that could benefit from added work were likely to spend more than $4 mil-

Stefanie Salavantis said the investigation by state police cleared Majikes of any wrongdoing. State police allege Rankin was discarding items while being chased that he stole from the apartment, including a cellphone, photographs and insurance cards. Ford told police he was awakened when Rankin forced his way into the apartment. Ford said Rankin stunned him with a Taser and kicked his leg on which he recently had surgery, the complaint says. Martinez said Rankin stunned her with a Taser and punched her about 20 times. Lawson said Rankin arrived in WilkesBarre on Saturday to spend the weekend with her other son, David Hines, 29, who was arrested at the same apartment building by city police at about 4:10 Saturday afternoon. Hines was wanted by state parole agents on a violation of a sentence imposed in Blair County in 2007, according to court records. He did not have possession of a gun when arrested, but it still is unclear whether a Taser was recovered at or near the crime scene. Lawson said Hines stayed in a room in the apartment building, and Rankin returned to the apartment Monday morning to retrieve personal belongings. “It’s a bad situation,” Lawson said. “James didn’t do no home invasion. His brother rented a room there.” Ford and Martinez could not be reached for comment on Thursday. Rankin was arraigned in the hospital by District Judge Joseph Carmody of West Pittston on charges of aggravated assault, robbery, theft, resisting arrest and prohibited use of an electronic device. Bail was set at $100,000. Hines is jailed at the State Correctional Institution at Dallas. City police charged Hines with possession of a controlled substance when he was allegedly found with marijuana and crack cocaine, according to the criminal complaint.

and emergency bridge repairs and the potential to attract businesses by selling them on the willingness to invest in infrastructure were all reasons Callaway said voters should want to enact the tax. “If you don’t have the money to move forward, you’re going to get run over by your competitors in other states,” Callaway said.

Shaky cease-fire begins in Syria

One ‘screaming’ deal on the way

Edvard Munch’s ’The Scream’ is seen as it is hung for display Thursday at Sotheby’s Auction Rooms in London. The picture done in pastels is one of four versions of the composition, and dates from 1895. It will be auctioned in the Impressionist and Modern Art Sale in New York on May 2, with an estimated price of $80 million.

BEIRUT — Syrian government forces appeared Thursday largely to have ended their attacks on anti-government strongholds, adhering to a United Nations-brokered cease-fire. But the United States, France and others seeking the ouster of Syrian President Bashar Assad said the government has yet to implement a provision in the U.N. plan that called for the country’s military to return to its barracks, and the U.S. repeated calls for Assad to step down. Anti-Assad activists reported at least three deaths at the hands of Syrian security forces on Thursday, along with a number of arrests.

The official Syrian government news service, SANA, reported at least two government sympathizers killed — a police officer who died when the bus he was in was bombed near the city of Aleppo, wounding 24 others, and a Baath party official in southern Daraa province who was shot eight times when he left his home to buy bread. SANA said14 members of the security services, killed in previous violence, were buried. President Barack Obama and French President Nicolas Sarkozy held a video conference, after which the White House said the two leaders had "condemned the violence perpetrated by the (Assad) regime against its own people and noted that the regime had yet to fully implement the agreement." U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton welcomed the "apparent halt in violence," but she said it was not enough. "If it holds, a cease-fire is an important step, but it represents just one element

of the special envoy’s plan," she said. "Assad will have to go and the Syrian people must be given the chance to chart their own future." U.N. Syria envoy Kofi Annan, the author of the cease-fire plan, made no public statement. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, in Geneva, said that with-

out monitors "it was difficult to assess the situation on the ground." "Even a small gunshot may give both sides the pretext to engage in another fighting," Ban said, according to The Associated Press. What happens next is difficult to predict.

He told reporters Friday in a nationally televised address that Seoul is “strongly condemning North Korea’s new leadership” for ignoring international warnings to cancel the launch. South Korean and U.S. officials earlier said North Korea fired a long-range rocket. That was in defiance of international warnings against moving forward with a launch widely seen as a provocation.

JetBlue pilot indicted A JetBlue Airways captain accused of disrupting a Las Vegas-bound flight when he left the cockpit screaming about religion and terrorists has been indicted, according to court documents posted Thursday. A grand jury in Lubbock indicted Clayton F. Osbon on one count of interference of a flight crew — the same charge he’s been held on since shortly after the March 27 incident. Osbon’s attorney, Dean Roper, declined to comment, the attorney’s secretary said Thursday. Witnesses on Flight 191 say Osbon ran through the cabin yelling about Jesus and al-Qaida. The first officer locked him out of the cockpit and passengers wrestled the captain to the floor. GREENSBORO, N.C.

Jury selection for Edwards After years of investigation, denials and delays, jury selection began Thursday for the criminal trial of former presidential candidate John Edwards. Edwards sat at the defense table as about 180 potential jurors filed into a Greensboro, N.C., courtroom. U.S. District Judge Catherine C. Eagles then asked Edwards to stand and face them. He grinned and nodded as the judge introduced him. The trial had been scheduled to begin in late January, but was delayed after Edwards’ lawyers told the judge he had a serious heart problem that required treatment. Edwards faces six criminal counts related to nearly $1 million in secret payments made by two campaign donors to help hide the married Democrat’s pregnant mistress as he sought the White House in 2008.

Deputy on eviction killed A sheriff’s deputy was killed Thursday when gunfire broke out as authorities tried to serve an eviction notice at a California apartment complex, authorities said. A civilian also was dead. The shooter is believed to be holed up inside an apartment. A SWAT team has been called in, and authorities have evacuated residents in surrounding homes. Two deputies went to the north Modesto home to deliver the notice when the shooting happened around 11 a.m., Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson said. Christianson said it’s not immediately clear how the civilian died because he didn’t think his deputies had returned fire.

SANFORD, Fla. — The neighborhood watchman who shot and killed teenager Trayvon Martin will remain in jail while awaiting a bond hearing and formal arraignment on second-degree murder charges, a Seminole County judge ruled Thursday afternoon. George Zimmerman, 28, appeared at the brief, first-appearance hearing handcuffed and dressed in a gray prison jumpsuit. He said little except to answer "Yes, sir," twice to acknowledge he understood the charge against him and his representation by an attorney. Zimmerman did not enter a plea and no bail was set, but a formal arraignment was set for 1:30 p.m. May 29. At Thursday’s initial hearing, Mark O’Mara, Zimmerman’s defense attorney, asked the judge for a "complete sealing" of future records in the case.

Judge won’t toss Sandusky charges, rejects statute argument By MICHAEL RUBINKAM Associated Press

ALLENTOWN — A judge on Thursday refused to throw out child sex-abuse charges against Jerry Sandusky but will allow defense lawyers for the retired Penn State assistant football coach to ask again to have the case dismissed as more evidence is turned over by prosecutors. Judge John Cleland ruled on a catch-all pretrial defense motion that also sought to have some of the evidence against Sandusky suppressed, compel additional

disclosure of prosecution materials, and win the court’s permission to introduce an alibi defense. Sandusky, 68, is charged with more than 50 criminal counts that Sandusky allege he sexually abused 10 boys over 15 years, both on the Penn State campus and elsewhere. He has denied the allegations. The scandal led to the ousters of Penn State football

coach Joe Paterno, who died in January, and Penn State President Graham Spanier. Cleland rejected an argument by Sandusky’s legal team that the statute of limitations may have run out for eight of the 10 alleged victims. He also rebuffed defense arguments that some of the charges against Sandusky were not specific enough, and that evidence was lacking in others. But the judge said Thursday that Sandusky can raise those arguments again before a June trial.

HARTFORD, Conn. — The vote to repeal Connecticut’s death penalty brought a moment of triumph for Elizabeth Brancato, a lifelong opponent of capital punishment despite the murder of her mother in 1979.

A week earlier, she was in the gallery when it cleared its biggest hurdle with an early morning vote in the state Senate. Brancato is among roughly 180 relatives of crime victims who pushed for repeal in private meetings with lawmakers, via petition drives and at news conferences. On the other side of the debate, death penalty supporters had perhaps the state’s most compelling advocate in Dr. William Petit Jr., the only survivor of a 2007 home invasion in which two paroled burglars killed his wife and two daughters. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, a Democrat, said he will sign the bill into law as soon as it reaches his desk.

Inmate Delacey Pressley had been deemed incompetent to face charges

Man pleads no contest to assault By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A Luzerne County Correctional Facility inmate who had been deemed incompetent to face a number of charges in several cases in which prosecutors say he attacked prison guards pleaded no contest Tuesday to those charges. Delacey Pressley, 33, entered the plea to nine charges of aggra-

vated harassment by a prisoner and two charges of aggravated assault before County Judge Tina Polachek Gartley. Last August, Polachek Gartley deemed Pressley not competent to proceed with the charges in the 11 cases he faced, after a psychiatrist testified Pressley needed to be hospitalized to restore competence. Polachek Gartley ordered

Pressley to be transferred to a state psychiatric hospital, where he received mental health treatment. The judge said Tuesday the hospital informed her Pressley understood the charges against him and the cases could go forward. Pressley will be sentenced on May 22, Polachek Gartley said. Pressley had been a state inmate serving a two-to-six-year

prison sentence on an aggravated assault charge and was housed at the county prison awaiting trial on allegations he assaulted officers at the State Correctional Institution at Dallas. According to court records, between Jan. 30, 2010 and May 4, 2011, Pressley on various occasions spit on, struck and threw feces at corrections officers at both the county facility and SCI-Dallas.

Exeter child-porn parolee back in prison

Kerry Makalusky is alleged to have committed alcohol and other violations. SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – An Exeter man charged with violating the terms of his parole on child pornography charges was ordered Tuesday to serve the remainder of his prison sentence before he can be paroled again. Kerry Makalusky, 41, of Orchard Street, was ordered by Senior Judge Hugh Mundy to serve out the remaining time on his sentence, until

June 7, after prosecutors said he violated his parole in January and February. Mundy originally sentenced Makalusky in June 2010 to two years in the county’s Intermediate Punishment Program, a special probationary period, with the first year on house arrest with electronic monitoring. Makalusky had been charged in November 2008 after investigators uncovered dozens of images of child pornography on Makalusky’s computer.

Prosecutors also say Makalusky failed to complete sex-offender evaluation and treatment. Makalusky was ordered at the time of his sentencing to register his address under Megan’s Law as a sex offender

for 10 years. At his June 2010 sentencing, Makalusky was ordered to install a barrier that prevents him from observing his neighbor’s yard. Prosecutors argued Makalusky had been sitting on his porch and watching a10-yearold neighbor swim in her pool. A fence separates the neighbor’s yard, Makalusky had said, noting he asked permission to install privacy slots in the fence.

WILKES-BARRE – A McAdoo man charged with robbing a Hazleton food mart and then allegedly using the money to purchase crack cocaine will stand trial in December, a county judge said. David J. Zagata II, 37, of West Sherman Street, will face a Dec. 5 trial on charges of robbery, criminal conspiracy, theft by unlawful taking and receiving stolen prop-

erty, Judge Fred Pierantoni said. Zagata was charged in May 2011 after police said he robbed the Craig’s Food Mart on West Broad Street, Hazleton, on April 29, 2011. A store clerk said Zagata walked in shortly before 6:30 a.m. and demanded money. The clerk said Zagata appeared to have a weapon in his pocket, and that money was taken from the cash register. Danny Patel, a store manager,

told police between $400 and $500 was taken during the robbery. Police later interviewed Pamela Sterling, 46, of Cross Street, Hazleton, who told police she was with Zagata the day of the robbery, and they had been at her house before the incident smoking crack cocaine. Sterling said they left her home and went to Hazleton, where Zagata told her to go to Craig’s Food Mart so he could “get a Gatorade

and rob the place.” Sterling said when Zagata came out of the store, he came running to her vehicle yelling, “Go, go, go!” She said Zagata threw his sweatshirt out the car window, and that they used the money to purchase $200 worth of crack cocaine. Sterling was charged with two counts of criminal conspiracy in the case, and in November, applied to participate in the county’s Treatment Court program.

Romney courting gun group Former Mass. gov. appears to do about-face from earlier gun-control positions. The Associated Press

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Running for the Senate in Massachusetts, Mitt Romney once assured voters in a state with strong gun-control laws: “I don’t line up with the NRA.” Now the likely Republican presidential nominee, Romney will headline the National Rifle Association’s annual convention today and assure tens of thousands of gun-rights activists that he’s squarely on their side. Coming just days after rival Rick Santorum 2 0 1 2 dropped out of the ELECTION nomination race, the NRA convention in St. Louis provides Romney an opportunity to shore up his credentials with an important conservative constituency that badly wants to oust Democratic President Barack Obama. Romney leads a list of prominent Republicans — including Santorum, Newt Gingrich, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker — who are scheduled to address more than 65,000 convention registrants during a session billed as a “celebration of American values.” Although Obama has virtually ignored gun issues during his term, the NRA considers him a foe and plans to mount an aggressive effort against him. The NRA has spent $20 million to $30 million in past presidential elections, said NRA spokesman Andrew Arulanandam. It hopes to exceed that amount this year in an effort that is likely to include

mail, phone calls and TV, radio, Internet and newspaper ads, he said. As the all-but-certain Republican presidential nominee, Romney hopes to reap the rewards of the NRA’s broad network, which includes more than 4 million dues-paying members. “Governor Romney is a strong supporter of Second Amendment rights,” said campaign spokesman Ryan Williams, referring to gun rights. “He’s always supported the Second Amendment and as president would continue to support the Second Amendment.” Yet Romney’s alignment with the NRA also comes at a time when gun laws have been under national scrutiny. The NRA was a main backer of Florida’s “stand your ground” law, which gives people latitude to use deadly force rather than retreat from danger. That self-defense law has been much discussed in relation to the February shooting in which a neighborhood watch volunteer fatally shot an unarmed teenager. After authorities initially declined to charge him, George Zimmerman was charged Wednesday with sec-

ond-degree murder in the death of Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman’s attorney has said the defendant will plead not guilty and invoke the “stand your ground” law. Romney has said little about whether he favors such laws, though he has called the shooting a “terrible tragedy” and has said it was appropriate for prosecutors to look into the case. After the shooting, Obama said, “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.” And while he said at the time that he supported the investigation, he didn’t address the issue of guns. In fact, Obama has hardly talked about the issue since a couple of months after the January 2011 assassination attempt on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson, Ariz., when the president promised to develop new steps on gun safety. Romney hasn’t always been in the NRA’s good graces. It was as a challenger to Democratic Sen. Edward Kennedy in 1994 that Romney professed not to line up with the group. When he was running for governor in 2002, the NRA shied away from making any endorsement and gave Romney’s Democratic opponent a better rating on gun-rights issues. Massachusetts quadrupled its gun-licensing fee while Romney was governor. He also signed a 2004 law that made permanent a ban on assault-type weapons, though it was coupled with measures backed by gun-rights groups, such as a lengthening of the firearm license period from four to six years and the creation of an appeals board for people seeking to restore their gun licenses. As he was considering his first presidential run in 2006, Romney signed up for a lifetime membership in the NRA.

‘Mommy Wars’ resume Ann Romney, wife of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney speaks in Springfield, Ill., in March. She is firing back at a Democratic consultant who is suggesting that the wife of the wealthy presidential candidate shouldn’t be talking about the economy’s toll on women.

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Ann Romney fought back Thursday against a Democrat who suggested she’s no economic expert because she “hasn’t worked a day in herlife.”RaisingthefiveRomney sons, she said, was such a fulltime job that her husband, Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney, considered it more important than his work as the family breadwinner. “He would say, ‘My job is temporary...Your job is a forever job that’s going to bring forever happiness,” Ann told “As a mom Romney Fox News, I know that wading into a multimedia furaising ror over comchildren is ments by Democratic conthe harsultant Hilary dest job Rosen. “Mitt there is.” respects women that make Hilary Rosen those different Democratic choices.” consultant Rosen apologized to Ann Romney later Thursday for her “poorly chosen” words. “As a mom I know that raising children is the hardest job there is,” Rosen said in a statement. “As a pundit, I know my words on CNN last night were poorly chosen.” “In response to Mitt Romney on the campaign trail referring to his wife as a better person to answer questions about women than he is, I was discussing his poor record on the plight of women’s financial struggles,” Rosen said.

the first lady. The series of exchanges brought the Mommy Wars to the presidential campaign trail as both parties court women voters critical to their prospects in the November election. President Barack Obama’s high command had demanded that Rosen apologize, while the Democratic National Committee disavowed her comments and her, reflecting the acute sensitivity of both parties about alienating any sub group of female voters. The multimedia furor erupted Wednesday night when Rosen said on CNN that Ann Romney, whose husband is worth millions, never had to work to pay the bills and should not be her husband’s surrogate on women and the economy. “His wife has actually never worked a day in her life,” Rosen said. “She’s never really dealt with the kinds of economic issues that a majority of women in this country are facing.” The backlash was brutal and swift.

David Axelrod, Obama’s top campaign strategist, tweeted that Rosen’s comments were “inappropriate and offensive.” The president’s campaign manager, Jim Messina, said Rosen should apologize. And the Democratic National Committee downplayed any connection to Rosen or her firm. “What she said was absolutely out of bounds,” said DNC Executive Director Patrick Gaspard on MSNBC. “Ann Romney is someone who obviously has worked hard to raise five good boys and she’s made some tough choices in her life, I’m certain. Families should be absolutely out of bounds in this discussion.” He added: “Hillary Rosen is absolutely not a paid adviser to the DNC or to the Obama campaign, absolutely not.” Romney’s campaign quickly assembled a conference call for reporters with the campaign’s female surrogates, who said Rosen’s comments pit women who make different choices in a difficult economy against each other.

75-plus House Dems are Commies, GOP rep says

WASHINGTON — Republican Rep. Allen West said he believes 75-plus House Democrats are members of the Communist Party, a claim that echoed Joe McCarthy’s unsubstantiated 1950s charges that communists had infiltrated the top ranks of the U.S. government. Addressing a town-hall meeting Tuesday in Florida, the freshman lawmaker was asked how many members of the American legislature are “card-carrying Marxists.” West said “there’s about 78 to 81 members of the Democratic Party that are members of the Communist Party.” He did not provide names. West’s office said Wednesday that the congressman stood by the comments and was referring to the 76 members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, the largest group within the House Democratic caucus. “The Communist Party has publicly referred to the Progres-

Braunstein said he has lived there for 14 years and, for the time they have lived there, he said he never had a problem with the garage. Township Solicitor Donald Brobst probed about a few specific conditions, like broken windshields, exposed engines and extracted chassis sitting about for extended periods of time: conditions that brought about the enforcement notice. Braunstein said he could not effectively testify to their conditions. The supervisors announced before taking the recess that they might try to reach an agreement outside the meeting room and then announce it for the public record.

West Side Trail plan gets positive response WEST WYOMING -- Response was favorable from a group of residents who attended Wednesday’s public meeting regarding the Phase II of the West Side Trail Project. Project Coordinator Karen Szwast and Borough Engineer

THE TIMES LEADER

Mike Amato presented plans for a pedestrian-friendly infrastructure, which includes eliminating curbs, replacing old sidewalks and drive aprons and creating handicapped access ramps at various locations in the borough. Funding for the project, which should begin by the end of the summer, is made possible through a combination of grants from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. In keeping with PennDOT’s “Safe Routes to School” initiative, the 1.46-mile project encourages families to walk their children to school. The trails will lead to Tenth Street Elementary in Wyoming and the Wyoming Area Secondary Center and JFK Elementary School, both in Exeter. Phase II, which interfaces with the trail at Wyoming Avenue, will begin at Daily Park on the east side of Shoemaker Avenue and also at Charney Park on West Eighth Street. It will continue down both sides of Eighth Street to Wyoming Avenue. The trail will also continue along Erie Street from Wyoming Avenue to Memorial Street and Penn Avenue in Exeter. Amato assured residents that recently installed sidewalks will not be replaced, and that tree lawns will be re-seeded and new trees planted, if needed. Szwast said parents are encouraged to park their cars at Daily or Charney parks and walk with their children to school. “We’re trying to encourage a healthy lifestyle and cut down on childhood obesity,” she said. “It’s a great way to encourage people to get out there and walk and take care of their health.” Camille Fioti

WILKES-BARRE – A Luzerne County judge said she will soon make a ruling on the post conviction requests of a Hazleton man sentenced to 20 to 40 years in prison for brutally attacking an elderly Hazleton couple in a home invasion in November 2008. Judge Tina Polachek Gartley on Wednesday heard testimony regarding the requests made by Kevin Fisher, 30, who was convicted in November 2009 on charges from a home invasion and assault on Nicholas and Martha Caputo in their South Pine Street, Hazleton, home. A jury found Fisher and Daniel Pinkney, 25, guilty of charges including aggravated assault, robbery and conspiracy. Both men appealed their cases to the state Superior Court, but the high court upheld their convictions and sentences handed down by then-Judge Peter Paul Olszewski Jr. Fisher said in his Post Conviction Relief Act filing that his then attorney, Robert Buttner, failed to file an appeal to the state Supreme Court, a witness lied about identifying Fisher, Buttner was not prepared for the trial and two different copies of the probable cause affidavit

Conviction Relief Act pending for Pinkney, but no hearing has yet been scheduled. Pinkney, who was sentenced by Olszewski to 16 ¼ to 32 ½ years in prison, alleges in his filing that his then attorney, John Donovan, was ineffective. Pinkney also alleges Olszewski should not have been permitted to preside over his trial because of a “business relationship” with former Judge Michael Conahan, who he alleges is related to the Caputos. Pinkney says he will present testimony at his post conviction hearing, including the testimony of an alibi witness. Fisher and Pinkney request a new trial or acquittal. A third man involved in the case, Joseph Harry Bardi, 41, was sentenced in November 2009 to nine to 23 months in prison and five years probation for his part in orchestrating the crime. He pleaded guilty to a charge of criminal conspiracy. Bardi testified at Pinkney’s and Fisher’s trial that he and Anthony Cangiano needed money, and that plans for robbing the Caputos, who own Caputo’s Ice Plant, started as a joke but got more serious as the duo talked about it. A fourth man, Anthony Cangiano, 37, was sentenced on a charge of criminal conspiracy to 3 ½ to 7 years in prison. He pleaded guilty to the charge.

The 49-year-old Lawton had been asked what impressed him most since he arrived from California six weeks ago to take the high-profile manager position created by the new county home rule government. A county manager wouldn’t be recognized on the street in Solano County, where he last worked as a principal management analyst, because “nobody was that tuned in to what was going on in the county,” he said.

Luzerne County Judge Fred Pierantoni, who authorized and sealed the search warrant affidavit, said he could not comment about the application. Luzerne County President Judge Thomas Burke could not be reached for comment Thursday afternoon. Sanguedolce did not return a message for comment. When search warrants were sealed by Luzerne County Senior Judge Patrick Toole in the Hugo Selenski investigation in June 2003, the applications to those warrants were opened upon a request by a reporter. Detectives with the county District Attorney’s Office, city police and three troopers with the state police Forensic Services Unit searched Yusiff’s house Tuesday afternoon, five days after Tyler was killed.

The administration is devising a plan to produce more detailed information on personnel and benefits, including hours worked, he said. Comparable peer counties also will be identified for each office so managers can benchmark their staffing and expenses, he said. “There are fundamental tools for management that we simply haven’t yet developed in the county,” Lawton said. “You can’t manage what you don’t measure, and right now, we’re kind of trying to measure millimeters with a yardstick.”

SPRAGUE Continued from Page 1A

The portion of Sprague Avenue set to close runs through the Wyoming Seminary Upper School campus, and the school would use the area to provide a more campus-like environment for students, Kingston Administrator Paul Keating said. Wyoming Seminary spokeswoman Gail Smallwood said the project was inspired by similar pedestrian-only streets on college campuses, in particular the cul-de-sac at the end of North Franklin Street on the King’s College campus in Wilkes-Barre. “The way this sort of project enhances the campus and beautifies the community is really why were looking to do this,” Smallwood said. “It also reduces the flow of traffic through the campus.” Under the proposed plan, the municipality would maintain ownership of the street, which would remain intact, but the school would be responsible for maintenance. Barriers installed by the school would bar vehicles from entering the campus area, but

The aging county prison also must be addressed in a longrange plan because its multistory layout requires more staff, he said. Past county officials had scrapped a plan to build a new prison, largely because the county owes more than $400 million from previous borrowing. Lawton: Organize better Some county offices must be housed together to share resources, he said. For example, the public should visit only one office to file or review deeds, wills and civil and criminal court records, he said. “We combined offices in the charter. Now we must physically combine the offices into one big room,” he said.

could be removed to allow emergency vehicle access. The barriers would be erected about a third of the way up Sprague Avenue from Hoyt Street, which would continue to allow access to a schoolowned parking lot and several homes on the street. Seminary would shoulder the entire cost of the project, including $70,000 to install a new traffic light at the corner of West Hoyt Street and Wyoming Avenue, and will up its annual payment in lieu of taxes to the municipality from $3,500 to $20,200 in consideration of Kingston’s vacating the street, according to Keating. Sprague Avenue between Pringle Street and West Hoyt Street would remain one-way but the direction of travel could change, Keating said. West Hoyt Street, currently one-way between Wyoming Avenue and Chestnut Avenue, would become a two-way street. Traffic lights would be added at the intersection of Hoyt Street and Wyoming Avenue, which already has lights pointing in three other directions, to channel traffic onto Hoyt Street. Keating said the plan would alleviate occasional bottle-

Lawton said he’s trying to “create an atmosphere and structure” encouraging the county’s 1,600 workers to propose ideas and solve problems. “Maybe folks are finally being given the opportunity to work at the level and the quality they’ve wanted to for a long time,” he said. Former chamber head Stephen Barrouk asked Lawton his opinion of the intense media coverage of county government. Lawton said he supports an “active and inquisitive” media and the controller’s office because both provide a check and balance. “It’s not always comfortable to be under that light, but it’s always a good thing for the enterprise, for what we’re do-

Wyoming Seminary would pay for the traffic lights and other signage associated with the project, Keating said. The municipality has a obtained a highway occupancy permit for installing the new traffic lights and is prepared to move forward swiftly, but the plan needs to approval from Kingston’s municipal council, and the municipality will consider concerns and alternative plans suggested at Monday’s public hearing, Keating said. “Wyoming Seminary is on Sprague Avenue, Maple Avenue, has a field over on Chestnut Avenue,” Keating said. “So we want to make sure we have input from the entire neighborhood to make sure that the changes we are making on West Hoyt and Sprague are adequate for servicing the entire neighborhood.” ing,” he said. Getting the new government “off the ground” and restoring public confidence in county government are top priorities, he said. “It’s absolutely critical we get this right,” he said. He interjected some of his trademark wit into his speech, saying he was repeatedly questioned before he was hired whether he had any relatives or acquaintances in the county. The Orange County, N.Y., native said he repeatedly answered no, but confessed he remembered the other night his senior prom date’s mother was from Wilkes-Barre. “I have to give that up now,” he said.

ZZIE GUILLEN, former manager of the Chicago White Sox, has said a lot of offensive things over the years, such as the time he used a gay slur in reference to a newspaper columnist, or when he accused Americans of being “lazy” while claiming the country couldn’t survive without immigrant labor. (Guillen was born in Venezuela.) But that was in Chicago, where tolerance for such utterances rose after he managed the Sox to a World Series win in 2005. Things are different now that Guillen is managing the Marlins of Miami, however, and a recent unforced verbal error is jeopardizing his job. “I love Fidel Castro,” Guillen told Time magazine. After a beat, he went on to explain: “A lot of people have wanted to kill EDITORIAL BOARD

Fidel Castro for the last 60 years, but that (expletive) is still here.” To Florida’s Cuban-immigrant community, praising Castro is little different from praising Adolf Hitler – even if you’re only expressing admiration for his survival skills, not his politics. Guillen has apologized for his comment. That didn’t stop the team from suspending him for five games, even as protesters and a county commissioner call for his resignation. This strikes many non-Floridians, including us, as a gross overreaction, maybe even an assault on American values: Why should he be punished for expressing a minority-held political view? But then, most communities have their unique hot buttons. Los Angeles Times

PennDOT clarifies goal of transportation merger

MARK GUYDISH

read with interest the article on April 8 titled, “State head looking to merge transit operations.” I was surprised The Times Leader never contacted the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation for comments about the letter that we wrote explaining our position on the Luzerne County/Hazleton merger of public transportation agencies. I feel it is imperative we get the facts correct so that we can proceed with changes that will benefit taxpayers. First, it is important to note that PennDOT did not initiate the consolidation study. Rather, the city of Hazleton, Luzerne County and Lackawanna County elected officials passed resolutions in 2010 asking PennDOT to analyze the potential benefits of consolidating public transportation organizations. The results of that study, conducted by only one consultant — there was no change — identified effi-

ciencies and savings that the city and counties recognized as valuable. Each took formal action prior to Dec. 31, 2011 to authorize advancing the consolidation initiatives. Sources quoted in the news article question the estimated annual savings of $500,000. The savings are associated primarily with an overall consolidation of administrative functions across three agencies in Luzerne County: the Luzerne County Transportation Authority, Luzerne/ Wyoming Counties Transportation Department and the city of Hazleton. While only

one full-time Hazleton employee is currently devoted to public transportation, when the study was done, the city had two full-time employees and a part-time individual supporting public transportation. The salaries and benefits associated with those positions are a large part of the originally projected savings. In addition, these savings were to be realized over time, only through attrition and reassignment of staff, not through termination of staff. In fact, one previous full-time city employee is now filling a critical vacancy at LCTA, consistent with the consolidation process. PennDOT’s goal is to achieve savings and efficiencies that result in improved service to the residents and taxpayers of the region. We are anxious to work with all parties and have scheduled a meeting with the mayor, city council, Luzerne County Council president, Luzerne County manager and LCTA on April 18 to start this process.

Stilp said the drilling industry has been protected and taxpayers are subsidizing it because the companies are not taxed. “We have to stop that giveaway,” he said.

Vinsko declared his candidacy in July, months before the lines were redrawn.

By IRA PODELL AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK — Marian Gaborik and Brian Boyle scored minutes apart in the second period to break open a tight game, and the topseeded New York Rangers opened their first-round Eastern Conference series with a 4-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Thursday night. RANGERS The Rangers, the No. 1 seed in the East for the first time since SENATORS they won the Stanley Cup in 1994, shook off their1-2-1regularseason mark against the Senators and easily dispatched them in Game 1. Ryan Callahan scored in the first period, Gaborik and Boyle pushed the lead to 3-0, and Brad Richards added a goal in the third for the Rangers. New York will host the No. 8 Senators again on Saturday night before the best-of-seven series shifts to Ottawa for Games 3 and 4. Henrik Lundqvist was sharp early, stopping Jason Spezza on a partial breakaway and then turning aside Jim O’Brien, who weaved his way through the New York defense before getting off an in-close drive that was knocked away. Lundqvist’s only blemishes came in the third period. Daniel Alfredsson wrecked his shutout bid at 10:05, and Erik Condra made it 4-2 with 2:19 left.

BUFFALO, N.Y. – A milestone avoided Dave Miley for a while week at the start of Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre Yankees’ season. But the SWB manager finally reached the 1,600-win mark on Thursday in a 7-2 victory over Buffalo at Coca Cola Field as the team improved its record early on this season to 2-5. Miley, who has been the Triple-A manager for the Yankees since 2006 when the team was still in Columbus, has managed 21 Miley seasons in the minor leagues, piling up a record of 1,600-1,219. Being the only skipper in SWB Yankees history, he has a 484-378 mark with the club. Miley’s milestone took the attention off of another shaky outing by the organization’s top prospect – according to MLB.com – in left-hander Manny Banuelos. The 21-year-old, making his second start for the Yankees, allowed two first-inning runs and just three hits, but he walked six batters and left after the second inning. He threw 74 pitches, with just 36 of them being for strikes as his ERA remained high at 10.13. In his first outing of the season, he gave up 11 hits and four runs in 3 1/3 innings of a loss to Syracuse on April 7. But on Thursday, his offense took him off the hook. The Yankees took a 3-2 lead in the top of the second on three hits, with the big blow being a two-run double by Ray Kruml, scoring Brandon Laird and Colin Curtis. Steve Pearce’s first longball for the Yankees gave the team a 4-2 lead in the top of the fifth. The Yankees tacked on three more runs in the seventh to put the score out of reach. Jack Cust knocked an RBI-single in the frame and Laird plated two with a double as Scranton/WilkesBarre extended its lead to 7-2. Manny Delcarmen (1-1) picked up the win in relief going three innings with two strikeouts. The Yankees bullpen, which allowed three runs in 4 2/3 innings during Wednesday’s loss, tossed seven scoreless frames on Thursday

Blanton stymies Oz-less Marlins The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Shane Victorino and Ty Wigginton homered, Joe Blanton pitched seven strong innings and the Philadelphia Phillies beat Miami 3-1 on Thursday night in the Marlins’ second game without suspended manager Ozzie Guillen. Blanton (1-1) allowed three hits and a run in his first start following an injuredplagued season. Blanton had two lengthy stints on the disabled list and pitched in only 11 games in 2011, the lowest for a full season in his career. Blanton is often overlooked in a Philadelphia rotation that boasts three aces. Against the Marlins, he was as effective as he was during his first two seasons in Philadelphia. The Marlins lost their second straight game without Guillen. He was suspended five games by the Marlins on Tuesday for saying he admired Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. Nationals 3, Reds 2

WASHINGTON — Ryan Zimmerman scored on Alfredo Simon’s wild pitch with two outs in the 10th inning, helping the Nationals extend their best start since moving to Washington with a victory over the Cincinnati Reds. The Nationals improved to 5-2, good for first place in the NL East and treating an announced sellout crowd of 40,907 to a win w in the home opener for the first time since 2008. Simon (0-1) hit Zimmerman with a pitch leading off the 10th, and one out later, Jayson Werth singled. A groundout pushed the runners to second and third with two outs. With Roger Bernadina at the plate, Simon threw an 0-1 pitch in the dirt, and Zimmerman slid under the tag after catcher Devin Mesoraco collected the ball and threw to Simon. Cubs 8, Brewers 0

CHICAGO — Matt Garza

Burrell will retire a Phillie PHILADELPHIA — Former Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Pat Burrell will sign a one-day minor league contract and retire with the organization. Burrell will officially retire as a Phillie during the Boston Red Sox series in May at Citizens Bank Park. He’ll be honored May 19 and throw out the ceremonial first pitch. The Phillies selected Burrell with the No. 1 overall pick in the 1998 draft. He played nine seasons with the Phillies and is fourth in team history in home runs (251), eighth in RBIs (827), and ninth in extra-base hits (518). He helped lead the Phillies to a World Series championship in 2008. He also played for the Tampa Bay Rays and San Francisco, winning another World Series with the Giants in 2010.

pitched three-hit ball for 8 2-3 innings, and the Chicago Cubs sent Zack Greinke to his worst beating in 11⁄2 years in a victory over the Milwaukee Brewers that prevented a four-game sweep. Helping the Cubs improve to 2-5, Garza (1-0) struck out nine and walked two — both in the first two innings. He induced Cesar Izturis to hit into an inning-ending double play in the second, starting a stretch in which he retired 16 of 17 batters. DENVER — No win for the ages. Or, for that matter, the aged. Madison Bumgarner scattered four hits over 7 1-3 innings and took a no-hit bid into the sixth Thursday in the San Francisco Giants’ win over the Colorado Rockies. At 49, Moyer failed in his second attempt to become the oldest pitcher to win a major league game. Moyer (0-2) surrendered four runs, two of them earned, and eight hits in 5 1-3 innings. He walked one, struck out three and hit a batter before leaving to a standing ovation in the sixth.

Boesch celebrates birthday with a bash DETROIT — Brennan Boesch drove in four runs on his 27th birthday, leading the Detroit Tigers to their fifth win in six games to start the season, 7-2 over the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday. Drew Smyly gave up a run in four-plus innings in his major league debut. Despite having the American League’s best record, Tigers starters have not earned a win. Collin Balester (1-0) won this one with two innings of relief. The Tigers trailed 1-0 until scoring three runs off Jeff Niemann (0-1) in the fifth. Alex Avila walked and scored on Andy Dirks’ one-out triple. Ryan Raburn struck out, but Austin Jackson walked and stole second before Boesch’s two-run single. Twins 10, Angels 9

MINNEAPOLIS — Justin Morneau hit a two-run, goahead homer in the eighth inning and Minnesota rallied from six runs down to beat Los Angeles. Joe Mauer went deep, too, hitting a three-run shot off Dan Haren in the fifth that cut into a 6-0 lead the Angels built against Francisco Liriano. Every Twins batter had at least one of the team’s 20 hits, enough to make up for

the 14 men left on base, including eight in scoring position. Denard Span had four hits, including an infield single that tied it at 6 in the seventh inning. On the play, he reached first at the same time as Scott Downs, stomping down on top of the reliever’s foot with his cleat. Downs right ankle rolled awkwardly and he left the game with what the team called a bruise. Rangers 5, Mariners 3

ARLINGTON, Texas — Michael Young hit a two-run homer and had four RBIs to back Derek Holland, leading the Texas over Seattle. Young had an RBI single in the first. With Texas leading 1-0 in the fifth inning for the third straight game, Young hit an opposite-field homer into the first row in right for a 3-0 lead against Jason Vargas (1-1). Young added a runscoring single in the eighth off Erasmo Ramirez. Holland (1-0) allowed two runs and five hits in 7 1-3 innings, struck out eight and walked none. He extended a scoreless streak by Texas starters to 22 2-3 innings before Alex Liddi’s RBI single in the sixth. Kyle Seager added a 438-foot homer into the right-field upper deck in the seventh.

T H I S D A T E I N B A S E B A L L April 13 1914 — The first Federal League game was played in Baltimore and the Terrapins defeated Buffalo, 3-2, behind Jack Quinn. A crowd estimated at 27,000 stood 15 rows deep in the outfield to witness the return of big league baseball to Baltimore. 1933 — Sammy West of St. Louis went 6-for-6 in an 11-inning win over the Chicago White Sox. He had five singles and a double off Ted Lyons. 1953 — For the first time in half a century, a new city was represented in the American or National leagues. The Braves moved from Boston to Milwaukee and opened in Cincinnati, where Max Surkont set down the Reds, 2-0. 1954 — Henry Aaron made his major league debut in left field for the Milwaukee Braves and went 0-for-5 in a 9-8 loss to the Cincinnati Reds. Cincinnati’s Jim Greengrass hit four doubles in his first major league game. 1963 — Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds tripled off Pittsburgh’s Bob Friend for his first major league hit. 1972 — The first player strike in baseball history ended. 1984 — Pete Rose got his 4,000th hit, a double off Philadelphia pitcher Jerry Koosman. The hit came exactly 21 years after his first hit. 1987 — The San Diego Padres set a major league record when the first three batters in the bottom of the first inning hit homers off San Francisco starter Roger Mason in their home opener. The Padres, trailing 2-0, got homers from Marvell Wynne, Tony Gwynn and John Kruk. 1993 — Lee Smith became the all-time saves leader as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 9-7. Smith got his 358th save, surpassing Jeff Reardon of the Cincinnati Reds. 1999 — Texas catcher Ivan Rodriguez drove in nine runs in the Rangers’ 15-6 victory at Seattle. Rodriguez hit a three-run homer in the first, a two-run single in the second and his first career grand slam in the third as Texas took a 13-0 lead. 2004 — San Francisco’s Barry Bonds hit his 661st homer, passing Willie Mays to take sole possession of third place on baseball’s career list. 2006 — Cody Ross hit a grand slam and a three-run homer to help Los Angeles beat Pittsburgh 13-5. 2007 — Carlos Lee hit three homers, including a grand slam, and drove in six runs, helping Houston to a 9-6 win at Philadelphia. 2008 — Joe Crede and Paul Konerko each hit grand slams for the White Sox against the Tigers, the third time Chicago has had multiple grand slams in the same game in its history. 2009 — Orlando Hudson hit for the cycle as Los Angeles beat Randy Johnson and San Francisco 11-1. 2009 — Chicago’s Jermaine Dye and Paul Konerko reached 300 career homers with consecutive drives in the second inning of the White Sox’s 10-6 win over Detroit. They became the first teammates to hit century milestone home runs of at least 300 in the same game. 2009 — Jody Gerut christened the Mets’ new home, Citi Field, with a leadoff homer in San Diego’s 6-5 win over New York. Gerut’s shot off Mike Pelfrey marked the first time in history that the first batter homered in a regular-season opener at a major league ballpark. 2011 — A federal jury convicted Barry Bonds of a single charge of obstruction of justice, but failed to reach a verdict on the three counts at the heart of allegations that he knowingly used steroids and human growth hormone and lied to a grand jury about it.

WYOMING – Persistence paid off just enough for the Wyoming Area girls soccer team on Thursday afternoon. And just not enough for Tunkhannock. The Warriors scored two second-half goals and then held off a Tunkhannock rally attempt for a 2-1 victory in a key early-season Wyoming Valley Conference Division 2-B game. Wyoming Area improved to 4-0 with its third one-goal victory of the season. Tunkhannock, considered the divisional favorite with nine returning starters, fell to 0-2-1. “I knew we were capable of it,” said Mike Sokolas, Wyoming Area’s third new coach in as many seasons. “I came into it with expectations we would start slow. I thought it would be a bit of a process of me getting used to these 34 players I have. It’s surprising, yes it’s surprising, but it’s a good surprise.” Wyoming Area made little use of six first-half corner kicks as the teams played a scoreless opening 40 minutes. Big saves by Tunkhannock keeper Spencer Corby denied Wyoming Area’s Jenna Skirnak and Valerie Bott at the start of the second half. The save on Bott’s shot, a liner to the upper left corner, was particularly impressive. Skirnak, though, finally put the Warriors on the board in the 55th minute with her eighth goal of the season. The senior forward was able to poke in a loose ball from close range just before Corby could gather it. Sophomore Danielle Stillarty made it 2-0 about three minutes later. The Tunkhannock defense had to sag over to stop a Warrior attack on the left, but the ball ended up to the right where Stillarty scored her first goal of the season. The two-goal lead looked safe until Tunkhannock’s Mara Sickler one-hopped a 25-yard direct kick into the goal with about 10 minutes left. “I think we were playing competitively,” Tunkhannock coach Kaaron Yablonski said. “There were just a lot of people back there on defense to get through.” The Tigers nearly did, though, once more after a restart. Janel Kalmanowicz took control of the ball in the middle of the penalty area and turned and ripped a shot that Wyoming Area keeper Jordan Chiavacci speared over her head. The game was the second in two days for Tunkhannock, which plays its third in a row today against visiting Wyoming Seminary.

LaBuz and Cougars stage a comeback

CHICAGO — C.J. Watson scored 16 points, including the game-tying 3-pointer at the end of regulation, and the Chicago Bulls pulled away in overtime to beat the Miami Heat 96-86 on Thursday night. Carlos Boozer led the Bulls with 19 points and Kyle Korver added 17 points for the Bulls, who outscored Miami 12-2 in overtime to boost their lead in the Eastern Conference to four games. LeBron James scored 30 points for Miami, but missed a free throw that would have made it a two-possession game late in regulation. Dwyane Wade added 21 points, Chris Bosh scored 20, but the Heat lost for the sixth time in 11 games.

Clippers 95, Timberwolves 82 MINNEAPOLIS — Blake Griffin had 19 points and 13 rebounds and Caron Butler scored 17 points to lead the Los Angeles Clippers to a victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Mo Williams had 14 points and five assists in his return for the Clippers, who entered the night 11⁄2 games behind the Lakers for the third seed in the West and just a half-game ahead of Memphis for the fourth seed.

HAZLETON – Holy Redeemer jumped out to a seven-run cushion after an inning and a half against Hazleton Area on Thursday in a Wyoming Valley Conference softball game, but the Cougars overcame the deficit with eight late, unanswered runs to pull off the 8-7 victory.

Kelly ends it in overtime as Bruins beat Capitals The Associated Press

BOSTON — Chris Kelly scored on a long slap shot 1:18 into overtime and the defending Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins beat the Washington Capitals 1-0 Thursday night in the opener of their first-round playoff series. Braden Holtby made 29 saves for the Capitals. Tim Thomas stopped all 17 shots he faced for Boston. The game was physical and scoreless until Thomas turned back a Washington attack early in the extra period. Brian Rolston dropped it for Benoit Pouliot to clear the zone and he pushed it up to Kelly, who slapped it over Holt-

by’s glove for the game-winner. The reigning Vezina and Conn Smythe Trophy-winner, Thomas had an easy game for much of the night, including a middle period in which Washington managed just two shots on goal. Instead, the goaltending star was Holtby, a third-stringer making his playoff debut because Tomas Vokoun and Michal Neuvirth were injured. But he kept Washington in the game while the Bruins peppered him with shots. After Holtby was beaten for the one and only time, Washington star Alex Ovechkin consoled him on the ice before heading to the locker room.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Providing safety and security on the sidelines Heading up security detail for SEC football programs has become coveted police duty.

The Bobby Petrino saga has drawn attention to an often overlooked aspect of big-time college football: the relationship between coaches and the police who handle security for them. Around the Southeastern Conference, providing sideline security for SEC programs is considered coveted duty. Some officers travel to away games, a cost paid for mostly by the schools. It can

range from volunteer duty to part of the officer’s regular schedule. Arkansas State Police Captain Lance King, who provided security for Petrino at Razorback games, got the call from the coach’s phone when he wrecked his motorcycle. King was cleared of any wrongdoing and it’s not unusual for marquee college coaches to have at least a casual relationship with the law enforcement officials who work closely with the program. “We consider it an honor because college football is such a public part of life in the south,” said Mississippi Highway Patrol Maj. Billy Mayes, a 31-year veter-

an of the MHP who graduated from Ole Miss in 1981. “But from my point of view, the relationship is strictly business. Some coaches are more personable than others. Ed Orgeron didn’t talk to us much. Houston Nutt did.” In the Petrino case, the coach felt comfortable enough with King to have the officer handle the crucial minutes following the crash. Since the incident, Petrino has been fired with cause in the wake of explosive details of the crash and attempted cover-up, including lying about details of the accident, infidelity and workplace favoritism. Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long found that the coach

made “a conscious decision” to mislead the university in the aftermath of the crash, including that 25-year-old Jessica Dorrell was on the motorcycle with him during the accident. Long’s role in that aftermath was examined by the Arkansas State Police, but the department concluded he did not violate “any State Police policy or state laws.” At LSU, the state police escort began back in the late 1970s when Jerry Stovall was coach, according to State Police Capt. Doug Cain. The trooper for current LSU coach Les Miles is Sgt. Bryan Madden, who has handled the assignment since 2008. He was an LSU player in the early

A lineup of Buschs? Oh brother

Continued from Page 1B

Older brother Kurt Busch will drive for Kyle during Nationwide race in Texas. By STEPHEN HAWKINS AP Sports Writer

FORT WORTH, Texas — The Busch Brothers are adding a new dynamic to their relationship. When Kurt Busch gets in the car for Friday night’s NASCAR Nationwide race in Texas, where he ran in that series for the first time and won six years ago, it will be his debut driving for younger brother Kyle’s new stock car team. “It is owner-driver, but it is brother-brother, and it’s unique with me having the upper hand on age,” 33-year-old Kurt Busch said Thursday. “But I respect him for the guts that he has to jump into this endeavor, to be the owner.” After the first of about 17 Nationwide races driving for his brother, they will be competitors again Saturday night in the Sprint Cup race. It was at Texas last November when NASCAR barred 26year-old Kyle Busch from driving for Joe Gibbs in the Cup and Nationwide races. That came after Busch, driving the truck he owned, deliberately wrecked championship contender Ron Hornaday Jr. during a caution in the race that started a tripleheader weekend. Since NASCAR’s last trip to the 1 1/2-mile high-banked track, Kurt Busch has changed Cup teams. He split with Penske Racing after six seasons in what was called a mutual parting of the ways and is with the new much smaller and lessfunded Phoenix Racing team. “Both teams that I’m with this year are very unique circumstances,” he said. “We’ll have chances at winning in the Nationwide car, we’re going to have to claw and scrap and fight real hard with the Cup car. But we’re going to have our opportunities to have fun every week.” After the Easter break, NASCAR resumes this weekend with the first scheduled night Cup race of the season, though not the first one. (Don’t forget that rain-postponed Daytona 500 that was run on a Monday night). Greg Biffle, who has seven consecutive top-10 finishes in Texas and won at the track in 2005, is the relaxed points leader. Biffle took advantage of the time off with a Bahamas vacation, chartering a big boat that he stayed on during the week. It was peaceful, with crystal clear water, pristine beaches and really no one else around. “I haven’t been on a vacation in quite some time like that,” Biffle said. “Man, I’m ready to go. I’m fired up. ... I’m pretty excited about getting going.”

1990s, and has been with the State Police for more than a decade. “One thing a lot of people don’t realize is it’s a volunteer assignment,” Cain said. “Those troopers are not paid (by the department), and up until a couple years ago they had to take vacation time when they went out of town with the team.” LSU compensates Madden for any hotel rooms and travel expenses, which was a common arrangement according to responses from police in Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia and South Carolina. All of the departments said the service did not cost taxpayers in extra money in the form

playoff-type mentality in these games. Other than that, he made a statement all year long and he’s going to be an important guy for us.” Rust said he is excited to get back into game action this weekend and added that while his playoff ice time is unknown, it’s important to prepare as if he’s in the lineup. “I’m pretty confident in myself and I know when the time comes and coach needs me to fill a role, I’ll be ready,” Rust said. One more point With three games left in the regular season, the Penguins need one point to lock up home ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs. They are currently five points ahead of the Hershey Bears for fourth place in the Eastern Conference, and are likely to meet their division rival in the first round. But clinching home ice isn’t the Penguins primary focus this weekend, Hynes said. “We want to try and win the games, that’s the biggest thing. We have to take another step,” Hynes said. “If we do that, hopefully we can get that point early in the weekend.” New faces The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins added six players from the Wheeling Nailers of the ECHL on Thursday.

game – Alexander got the next batter to pop up a bunt attempt, keeping the runner at second. He then picked up his 11th and final strikeout on three pitches to move the Spartans (3-1) into a first-place tie with the Tigers (3-1) in Division I West of the WVC. “He wants the ball,” Spartans coach John Milius said of his senior right-hander. “He wants the ball. I was watching his pitch count very closely and (he said), ‘Coach, you’re not taking me out. You’re not taking me out. I’m finishing it. This is mine.’ ” Alexander, who will play in college at Old Dominion, finished at under 100 pitches to improve to 3-0 with 36 strikeouts to go with an 0.78 ERA through 18 innings. Tunkhannock’s McClain was equally stubborn on the mound, also surrendering just three hits in six innings of work. The Tigers junior struck out four and walked one. “I’m very impressed with Josh,” Tunkhannock coach Gary Custer said. “His mental approach to the game has really matured. I’m really pleased with what I see with him. He’s a gamer.” The lone run on the day came in the bottom of the fourth courtesy of some small ball by the Spartans. A leadoff single from Joe Pechulis and a sacrifice bunt by Alexander put a rare runner in scoring position. Josh Husted then came on as a pinch runner at second, and for a brief moment the Tigers appeared to get a pickoff to end the threat. But the infield umpire ultimately ruled that Hust-

of overtime or special benefits. LSU Vice Chancellor for Communications Herb Vincent said Madden is paid $40 an hour by the school for home games. The Alabama Department of Public Safety declined to provide information or comment citing security concerns. Many of the officers have been doing the job for years. Gordy Wright, Director of Public Information for the Georgia State Patrol, said Lt. Steve Rushton has handled the assignment of providing security for coach Mark Richt for all 11 seasons. Mayes has handled security for Mississippi’s football team for the past six seasons. wards Chris Barton, Cody Chupp, Ryan Schnell and defenseman Andrew Hotham have been recalled from loan, while goaltender Patrick Killeen has been assigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton by Pittsburgh. In addition, defenseman Peter Merth has been assigned to a professional tryout agreement. Tough guy coming to town On Saturday former Philadelphia Flyer and Pittsburgh Penguin Dave Schultz will attend the Penguins’ game against the Bridgeport Sound Tigers to sign autographs and drop the puck during a ceremonial faceoff. While the ex-“Broad Street Bully” will be signing autographs for a limited time during the game, you can guarantee your chance to meet Dave Schultz himself by attending the Penguins’ Hockey 101. Fans will have the opportunity to attend a special VIP Meet and Greet with Schultz prior to the game. A limited amount of tickets are available for this unique opportunity, beginning at 2 p.m. at Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza. Cost of the tickets is $30 and includes admission to the event, a tour of the arena and the Penguins locker room, a Hockey 101 and a “Behind the Scenes” session, a ticket to the game that evening, an 8x10 color photo of Schultz. Tickets can be purchased by contacting Emily Kain at the Penguins’ Front Office at 2085415.

ed was obstructed from getting back to the bag and was awarded third. Nick Hogan (2-for-2) then delivered with his second single of the game to bring home the winning run. Though Husted likely would have still scored from second, the Tigers had already gunned down a runner at the plate in the same situation in the first inning. Pechulis and Hogan were the only Spartans to record a hit. McClain, Jeremy Lee and Alex Zaner had the hits for Tunkhannock. “Tunkhannock’s a quality team. I knew runs were going to be at a premium,” Milius said. “They have top-notch pitching. I just felt it was going to be a one-run ballgame.” “I just wish,” Custer said, “that we had the one.” Tunkhannock

By PAUL WISEMAN and MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writers

WASHINGTON — The outlook for U.S. economic growth is looking slightly better. American businesses sold a record number of goods and services in Europe, China and other foreign markets in February, while imports declined. Many economists began raising their forecasts for January-March growth after seeing Thursday’s government report on the lowest trade deficit since the fall. The economy still has a long way back to full health. More people applied for unemployment benefits last week, the government said in separate report. That followed

Airlines more on time

Mild winter weather helped U.S. airlines greatly improve their on-time rates in February, the government said Thursday, and the rate of lost or damaged bags reached a 24-year low. The nation’s largest airlines operated 86.2 percent of their flights on time during the month. That compares to the stormy February in 2011 when 74.5 percent of flights were on time. Virgin America was most likely to get passengers to their destinations on time, with 91.7 percent of its flights arriving within 15 minutes of the scheduled time.

Exports rose to a record $181.2 billion. Dalessaidheexpectsgrowthonlyslowed in the January-March quarter to an annual rateof2.5percent.Whilethat’sdownfrom3 percent annual rate at the end of last year, it’s better than the 2 percent rate he had initially projected. The number of people seeking weekly unemployment benefits jumped last week by 13,000 to a seasonally adjusted 380,000 — a 10-week high. Most economists are waiting to see April’s hiring figures before declaring the job market has weakened. The unemployment rate has fallen from 9.1 percent in August to 8.2 percent last month.

last week’s report that hiring slowed sharply in March after three months of strong job growth. The mixed economic picture, along with tame inflation cited in a third report, gives the Federal Reserve more ammunition to stick with its plan to hold interest rates near record lows when it meets later this month. “The underlying message is actually a good one,” said Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics, after the trio of reports was released. “It suggests that growth is a bit stronger.” The U.S. trade deficit narrowed more than 12 percent in February to $46 billion. That’s down from $52.5 billion in January, the widest deficit in three and a half years.

Google plans stock split

Google Inc. plans to split its stock 2-for-1 to preserve its leadership’s control over the company and maintain its long-term focus. The online search leader said Thursday that it is issuing a new class of stock to shareholders, but the new shares won’t have any voting power. All current stockholders will get shares in the new Class C stock. Google also said it earned $2.89 billion, or $8.75 per share, in the first quarter. That’s up from $1.8 billion, or $5.51 per share, a year earlier. Total revenue was $10.65 billion, up 24 percent.

HP shows recovery after PC fallout By ANICK JESDANUN AP Technology Writer

NEW YORK — Hewlett-Packard Co. is showing signs of recovery as it strengthened its position as the world’s largest maker of personal computers and gained back some of the business it had lost while weighing whether to dump its PC division. HP’s stock jumped more than 7 percent Thursday, after research groups Gartner and IDC released their PC shipment estimates for the first three months of the year. HP is in the midst of a turnaround effort under a new chief, former eBay Inc. CEO Meg Whitman. Her prede-

uzerne Bank is putting the finishing touches on a new branch office being built in the parking lot of the Woodlands Inn & Resort in Plains Township. Robert Snyder, bank president, said the new branch will replace one that has operated in the now-closed Sunshine Market. The 2,378-square-foot building will include teller windows, two drive-through lanes and a drive-up ATM. The office should open by the end of April, Snyder said.

A basket of meats, cheese and other grocery store products cost 6.9 percent more in the first quarter of 2012 than it did a year earlier, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation. The cost of meats such as sliced deli ham and bacon were up due to strong demand and tight supplies, the American Farm Bureau Federation said. Flour, russet potatoes, apples and toasted oat cereal have all become pricier for consumers, according to the report. Only three items in the basket have gotten cheaper: whole milk, white bread and boneless chicken breasts.

IDC estimated late Wednesday that HP’s worldwide share in the first quarter of 2012 was back to 18 percent. In the U.S., IDC said, HP’s firstquarter share was 28 percent, nearly back to what it had been last summer. In the holiday quarter, it had dropped to about 23 percent. Despite the gains, HP and other PC makers still face a broader challenge from the growing demand for mobile devices. In the U.S. and other developed markets, consumers have been delaying PC replacements and buying the latest phones and tablet computers from Apple Inc. and others instead.

cessor, Leo Apotheker, wanted to sell or spin off the PC business, a plan that contributed to his ouster in September after 11 months on the job. Whitman decided a month later to keep the unit, despite the growing competitive challenge the PC industry faces from smartphones and tablet computers. The company lost market share during that period of uncertainty. According to IDC, HP’s worldwide market share dropped to 16 percent in the fourth quarter, after HP signaled in mid-August that it might shed the PC business. HP’s share had been at least 18 percent earlier in the year.

State tax breaks not evaluated By DAVID MERCER Associated Press

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Most states are doing a poor job tracking whether their tax breaks for businesses are actually spurring job growth, including some that have poured hundreds of millions of dollars into corporate incentive programs even while grappling with record deficits, according to a new report. The report released Thursday by the Pew Center on the States found that no state regularly takes a hard look at the effectiveness of all of its tax breaks. Twenty-five states and Washington, D.C., do little if any evaluation, including Illinois, which is among the states facing major budget struggles. Only 13 were found to be doing enough, the study found. Pennsylvania was one of 12 states to receive a “mixed results” rating. It’s difficult to say just how much U.S. states spend combined on tax incentives, but they’ve become more common in the past decade, particularly since 2008 when the country sank into recession. Unemployment rose and the money available for state budgets shrank, yet researchers found the tax breaks states handed out may not have produced the desired effect. “Given that states are rebuilding their budgets and economies in the wake of the Great Recession, these are mistakes states can’t afford to make,” Pew senior researcher Jeff Chapman said. Among the glaring problems identified with incentive oversight was failing to provide information to state lawmakers who have to sign off on the programs, at least initially, Chapman said. Pennsylvania was faulted on this measure. Therese McGuire, an economist at Northwestern University, said that with the right information lawmakers should be able to create focused incentives that at least increase the odds of a return on a state’s investments, or to choose to provide nothing at all. Pew reviewed close to 600 documents for its report and interviewed more than 175 people, with every state participating, Chapman said. Of the 13 states listed as doing an adequate job in oversight, four — Oregon, Washington, Arizona and Iowa — received the most praise in the report. NATURAL GAS $1.98

Today's weather is guaranteed to remain dry and very sunny through the afternoon. With the sun now as strong as it is at the end of August, temperatures will respond nicely. Skies will remain clear tonight and into tomorrow and a shift in the wind will bring warmer temperatures for Saturday afternoon with readings flirting with 70. An area of showers will pass over the state tomorrow night possibly arriving as early as 8 p.m. Very warm air will move in on Sunday with partial sunshine then on Monday. Better call in sick, readings could reach 80. -Tom Clark

LEGAL NOTICE OFFICIAL NOTICE is hereby given that the Wilkes-Barre Area School District Board of Education will hold a Special Meeting for General Purposes on Thursday, April 19, 2012 at 7:00 PM. The meeting will be held in the Board Room of the Administration Building, 730 South Main Street, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

SANITARY SEWER AUTHORITY OF THE BOROUGH OF SHICKSHINNY LUZERNE COUNTY, PA The Sanitary Sewer Authority of the Borough of Shickshinny (SSABS) will be submitting an application to the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST) for funding a project to upgrade the existing Wastewater Treatment Plant with a Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) process. The project will occur at the existing treatment plant located in Conyngham Township, Luzerne County, PA. As a result of the Chesapeake Bay Initiative, the Pennsylvania Department of Protection (PADEP) has issued a new NPDES Part I Permit for the SSABS Wastewater Treatment Plant with new effluent limits for nitrogen and phosphorus. In order to meet the new effluent limitations for nitrogen and phosphorus, the existing Shickshinny WWTP must be modified such that the nutrient loadings within the treated effluent are in compliance with PADEP permit limits. The SSABS considered several alternatives to meet these limits. The selected alternative is the most cost effective and proposes the construction of two (2) sequencing batch reactor (SBRs) to replace the existing three (3) contact stabilization treatment units at the existing treatment plant. The estimated cost of the project is $2,520,000. The SSABS has received an H2OPA Grant in the amount of $1,519,648. It is the intention of SSABS to finance the remainder of the project costs not funded by the H2OPA grant with a PennVest loan. The current annual residential operation and maintenance fee for wastewater collection/treatment is $240/EDU, charged by the SSABS to all property owners connected to the existing sewage collection system and existing Wastewater Treatment Plant located in Conyngham Township, PA. This fee is proposed to increase to $315/EDU as a result of construction of the proposed project. A request is being made to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to categorically exclude the project from the State Environmental Review Process (SERP). This request is being made since the proposed project is not expected to cause any significant, negative environmental consequences during or after the projects construction. Plans are available for review at the SSABS Wastewater Treatment Plant building, 1 Main Road, Mocanaqua, PA. Written comments on the proposed project may be submitted for a period of 30 days from the date of this advertisement. All written comments on the proposed project should be sent to Mr. Gilbert Gleco, Chairman of Sanitary Sewer Authority of the Borough of Shickshinny, P.O. Box 62, Shickshinny, PA 18655.
