Parking lease-related fees capped

Dismayed authority sets $10K limit

INSIDE: Some residents express their reservations, 14A.

WILKES-BARRE – The city Parking Authority Thursday placed a cap on legal and consultant fees to get through the first stage of a plan to lease its assets. On a unanimous 4-0 vote, the board agreed to limit Fox Rothschild, the Philadelphia law firm retained to lead the authority through the leasing

process, to an additional $10,000 -- including all fees and expenses for the firm and all consultants. Alan Wohlstetter of Fox Rothschild agreed to the cap. “All the bills have to stop,” said Ed Katarsky, a member of the authority board.

“We’re at $107,000 right now. We can’t have an open-ended contract.” “The authority wants to limit its financial exposure until it decides if it wants to go forward,” said Murray Ufberg, authority solicitor. Once the authority gets responses from interested companies, it will decide whether to continue to Phase 2 -- seeking bid

proposals to lease the garages, parking lots and meters to a private company. A successful bid will have to include an initial payment of at least $20 million, Mayor Tom Leighton has said. Leighton announced last week his plan to look into leasing the city’s 2,113 garage spaces, 160 surface lot spaces and 800 parking meters. The city operates the Intermodal Center and the parking meters; the authority operates Park & Lock garages and surface lots.

Murphy bills approved The board approved all bills to date, including one from former city administrator J.J. Murphy’s Goals Consulting. With the $10,000 cap added, the total expense to date will rise to $117,000. Goals Consulting has submitted timesheets totaling $34,460 plus $316.78 in expenses for parking and tolls.

Authority drives home Yankees franchise sale By TOM ROBINSON For The Times Leader

SCRANTON – The Lackawanna County Multi-Purpose Stadium Authority went ahead with the sale of the Scranton/WilkesBarre Yankees on Thursday, despite continued questions about the two parties that comprise SWB Yankees LLC. Those questions lingered right up until minutes before the 4-1 vote that approved SWB Yankees LLC as the new owner of the Triple-A baseball franchise. The stadium authority voted in favor of the sale, which was then signed by authority

Lending a voice to disability “A disability does not define a person or limit what a person can or cannot do, society does.’’

By EILEEN GODIN Times Leader Correspondent

DALLAS TWP. – Twenty-three stories of area people who are living with a disability came to life Thursday night in Lemmond Theater at Misericordia University. The accounts, derived from a class assignment from Introduction to Psychology professor Alice Nordstrom, provided a look at what it is like to live with an impairment. The names of the subjects interviewed were changed or withheld throughout the program. It was students who related to the large, spellbound audience the stories they were told. The tales were inspiring and sometimes sad; such as one a man simply labeled “skydiving.” He tells people his spinal cord injury occurred when a parachute would not open. He landed in a tree, breaking his back, he says. In reality, a vehicle crash that was the result of drinking and driv-

ing left him in a wheelchair. Refusing to let this stop him, he has become an advocate against drunken driving and visits schools with his message. Stories came from those living with

blindness, deafness, dwarfism, spinal cord injury, stroke, stuttering, spina bifida, cerebral palsy, arthrogryposis and much more. There were stories of children forced into special-education classes simply because they were wheelchair bound. One mother told how she had to fight for her two deaf daughters to attend regular classes. Children with disabilities told how they were bullied, while those with parents with a disability related how they assumed more responsibility of household chores. One woman named “Charlotte,” a 64year-old dwarf, said children with their

natural curiosity would ask her why she was so small. Her response was, “God made me little because there has to be some little people in this big world.” But one day, she said, while shopping with her mom and sister, gawking men making snide comments caused her to step forward and question them directly. “When you are small, you are used to hearing stuff from little kids, but when it came from adults … I could not stand it,” she said. Nordstrom said people living with disabilities are outside the social norm, but everyone has weakness and everyone has strengths. She concluded the night by saying the stories showed those living with disabilities are not disabled but confined by society, and as members of society, “we can change this.” “A disability does not define a person or limit what a person can or cannot do, society does,” she said.

Powerball millionaires east, west The Associated Press

MIDDLETOWN — Powerball has minted some instant millionaires on both sides of the state. A group of transit workers in Philadelphia claimed the lottery jackpot totaling nearly $173 million on Thursday. But state lottery officials say another Powerball ticket worth $2 million was sold at the Giant Eagle supermarket in West Newton, Westmoreland County. That ticket correctly matched all five white balls but not the red Powerball. The winning numbers drawn Wednesday were 04-25-29-34-43, plus the bonus ball 29. The newsstand in Philadelphia that sold the jackpot ticket will receive a $100,000 bonus. The grocery store in West Newton, which is about 20 miles from Pittsburgh, will receive a $10,000 bonus.

Live from N.Y., it’s ‘30 Rock’ By FRAZIER MOORE AP Television Writer

NEW YORK — In a break from its usual filmed style, NBC’s “30 Rock” went live Thursday night with an episode that was full of fun and, yes, very lively. As promised, the setup for the episode had boss Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) delivering the bad news that, as a costcutting measure, “TGS,” the fictitious show-within-a-show produced by Liz Lemon (series star Tina Fey), would henceforth be filmed, not broadcast live. “From now on,” he said, “you write and shoot the season in two weeks, like ‘Wheel of Fortune’ and Fox News.” Liz erupted in protest. “‘TGS’ has to be live or it will lose all its excitement and spontaneity,” she declared. “That’s the beauty of live TV:

Anything can happen!” And at that moment, Kenneth the NBC Page (Jack McBrayer) entered Donaghy’s office with Paul McCartney in tow, telling him, “Here’s a bathroom you can use.” McCartney disappeared into Donaghy’s executive loo. Anything indeed. Liz was easily won over once she realized that filming “TGS” would be quicker and easier. But Kenneth argued passionately for the excitement that live TV represents, reminding his colleagues of historic live programs from NBC’s rich past. This paved the way for several wacky flashbacks, including the 1950s live sitcom “The Lovebirds,” a spoof of “The Honeymooners.” In the black-and-white sequence in a bare-bones Brooklyn apartment, Baldwin assumed the Jackie Gleason role, with Fey as the long-suffering

wife originally portrayed by Audrey Meadows. “You’re a real cut-up,” sneered Baldwin in a sendup of Gleason’s ranting Ralph Kramden. “In fact, one of these days I’m gonna cut you up in pieces and feed you to the neighbor’s dogs.” “It’d be the first time you’ve taken me out for dinner in years,” replied the poker-faced Fey. In another flashback, Baldwin played a pickled parody of Dean Martin from his 1960s variety series. And “30 Rock” star Tracy Morgan appeared in a flashback from a pioneering 1950s sitcom that featured African-Americans — a spoof of “Amos ‘n’ Andy” with a burnt-cork-faced Jon Hamm as his black sidekick. Among other surprise guests were Amy Poehler, Jimmy Fallon and Fred Armisen.

POLICE BLOTTER NANTICOKE -- Police on Thursday arrested Shawn Miller, 40, of South Main Street, Kingston Township, in connection with the theft of $3,720 worth of radiators from an apartment on East Main Street in March. Miller was arraigned on charges of receiving stolen property and conspiracy before District Judge Joseph Carmody in West Pittston and committed to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $15,000 bail. According to arrest papers: Miller and two other people were in a car loaded with scrap metal and between eight and 12 cast-iron radiators stopped on the Sans Souci Parkway on March 13 by state police. They said they picked up the scrap in a wooded area off Kosciuszko Street. But when they were taken back to the area, it did not appear to be a site where the scrap was dumped. They were not charged at that time because no one had reported the theft of the scrap metal. Police photographed the scrap metal loaded in the vehicle. On March 14, police responded to a report of a burglary at the apartment and the theft of the radiators.

Thursday’s episode was the second such venture for “30 Rock,” which aired live the first time in October 2010. As it did then, this half-hour was broadcast from NBC’s Studio 8H — otherwise the home of “Saturday Night Live” — in front of a live studio audience. The initial performance — telecast at 8:30 p.m. Eastern time — went smoothly, with no noticeable technical glitches and one minor flubbed line. The show was scheduled to be repeated, live, three hours later for viewers in the western U.S. And, perhaps needless to say, by the end of the episode, Jack Donaghy was won over to the importance of live TV. “‘TGS’ is meant to be live,” he concluded. “To make it more profitable, we’ll just need to do more sponsored product placements. Or I’ll just pay you all less.”

Man lying in road killed

A man was killed when he was struck by a tractor-trailer on Main Street just after 3 a.m. Thursday, police said. The Luzerne County Coroner’s Office identified the man as Timothy Scott Pierce, 26, of West Wyoming. Pierce was pronounced dead at the scene at 4:10 a.m. Police Chief Frank Mudlock said Mark Lewandowski, of Wilkes-Barre, driving a tractor-trailer for US Food, was traveling on Main Street and attempted to swerve when he saw a person lying in the roadway. Mudlock said Lewandowski was unable to avoid striking Pierce. “Every indication shows the person was lying on the roadway and the driver of the vehicle was unable to avoid,” Mudlock said. Mudlock said he does not know why Pierce was lying on the road. The accident happened near Baloga Funeral Home and Cole Street.

W-B Area wins $632,733 for reading Money from federal program that awarded $180M to six states of 35 that applied.

By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Cashstarved Wilkes-Barre Area School District is getting a much-needed infusion of grant money – a $632,733 literacy grant – and the timing couldn’t have been much better.

State Sen. John Yudichak, D-Nanticoke, announced the grant in a press release Thursday, though district Superintendent Jeff Namey had alluded to it during an April 19 budget and finance committee meeting. At the time, Namey said he didn’t want to give all the details because the grant had not been formally announced, but he mentioned the expected money in connection with talks about updating the district’s reading curriculum.

In a press release, Yudichak said the money is part of the state Department of Education’s “Keystones to Opportunity” grant program, which in turn was made possible thanks to a $38 million grant through the federal Striving Readers Comprehensive Literacy Program. Overall, the federal program awarded $180 million to six states out of 35 that applied for the competitive grants. The aim, according to a federal press release, is to

help “states pursue a comprehensive approach to improving literacy outcomes for all children – birth through grade 12.” Yudichak’s press release said the money will be used in Wilkes-Barre Area “for teacher training and development of a district-wide literacy plan.” The federal program was designed to provide money for five years, but so far it has only been funded for one. At the April 19 meeting,

The three-sided marker – which cost $3,600 -- will be unveiled at the dedication ceremony during the city’s Cherry Blossom Festival. According to a story that ran on Oct. 13, 1926 in the Wilkes-Barre Morning Record, Ruth was at Artillery Park to play in an exhibition game between Hughestown and Larksville. Ruth played for Hughestown and he challenged Larksville hurler Ernie Corkran to throw him his best stuff – a fastball right down the heart of the plate. Ruth hit the ball that some say was still rising when it cleared the fence and was estimated to have traveled 650 feet. WYOMING

Namey said that if it is funded for future years, some of the grant money can be used to purchase new reading series materials to complete the changes planned through the grant, thus saving the district the cost of a needed upgrade. In his press release, Yudichak was quoted as saying, “At a time when educational resources in Pennsylvania are tight this grant provides funding for an important investment in the future of hundreds of students.”

Keeping up the fight

By JERRY LYNOTT jlynott@timesleader.com

ENKINS TWP. – Labor leaders Thursday night remembered those killed and injured on the job and called for continuing the fight to make the workplace safe for all workers. Approximately 35 people attended the eighth annual “Workers Memorial” held by the Greater WilkesBarre Labor Council at the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1776 offices on state Route 315.

They held lit candles during a prayer offered by the Rev. William Pickard and received encouragement from Rick Bloomingdale, president of the PA AFLCIO, to oppose attempts to take away the protections for workers. They also paid tribute to Jason Rowlands, 30, of Dalton, who died in February from a work-related accident at Wyoming Valley Pallets in Exeter. Pickard said he, like many people in Northeastern Pennsylvania, came from a coal mining family and was supportive

of organized labor. “My passion is your passion, too,” he said. Pickard recalled the words of the late Archbishop Oscar Romero of El Salvador who spoke of the taking a long view of the accomplishments in one’s life-

time. “We accomplish in our lifetime only a tiny fraction of the magnificent enterprise that is God’s work,” said Pickard, reading a prayer from the archbishop. “We may never see the end results, but that is the difference between the master builder and the worker,” he said. Bloomingdale, too, included religious references, mentioning the story from the Bible of Jesus chasing the money changers from the temple in Jerusalem. “He was the first occupier,” said Bloomingdale of Christ. The money changers were the 1 percent or wealthy minority and that struggle continues today by the protesters in the ongoing Occupy movements throughout the world. Similarly, he said, unions have to fight to hold on to the gains they’ve made for workers because there are forces out there that want to get rid of the 40-hour work week, the minimum wage and the protections of the Occupational Health and Safety Act of 1970. “If we don’t keep up the fight and fight like hell for the living, nobody else will,” said Bloomingdale. Saturday is the official observance of workers memorial day and the AFL-CIO has chosen the slogan, “Mourn for the dead. Fight for the living.”

Arnone forced to surrender insurance license

By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

The state Insurance Department has forced convicted former Jenkins Township Supervisor Russel E. Arnone to surrender his license because he failed to report his 2010 conviction to the department. Arnone, who also worked as Luzerne County’s personnel/budget director from 2001-03, pleaded guilty on June 14, 2010, to concealing a felony because he failed to inform investigators he received $5,000 in cash from local real estate developer Robert Mericle for helping Mericle obtain lower construction permit fees for the CenterPoint Commerce & Trade Park. He was sentenced on Sept. 20, 2010, to two months’ house arrest and two years’

CONSENT ORDER

To see the state Insurance Department’s consent order, go to timesleader.com

Arnone probation. Arnone portrayed it as a campaign contribution, but he failed to fully disclose the receipt on his public campaign finance reports or spend all the money on election-related expenses. Arnone served as township supervisor for 22 years before resigning. Arnone was a licensed “insurance producer” with a resident insurance producer license that was set to expire on May 31, 2013.

According to the department’s regulations, anyone charged with a crime is required to report it to the department within 30 days. The department’s consent order, signed on Jan. 25 and agreed to by Arnone and Ronald A. Gallagher, the state’s deputy insurance commissioner, permits Arnone to reapply for his license after three years. Arnone was the 29th person charged in an ongoing public corruption probe aimed at county and state government, the courts and local school districts and municipalities in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Three county commissioners, three judges, numerous school board members and two state senators have been among the dozens charged since the investigation began in 2007.

Former state Sen. Robert Mellow has agreed to reimburse the state $21,000 in rental payments he received for his district office, which had been located in a building that was partly owned by him and his exwife, the State Ethics Commission announced Thursday. In a 17-page decision, the Ethics Commission determined Mellow had improperly used his position in the Senate for financial gain when he located his office at 524 Main St., Peckville. Mellow The violation was based on the fact that, for part of the time the office was located there, the building was owned by Brad Inc., a corporation in which Mellow and his ex-wife, Diane, had a 50 percent interest. In another matter, Mellow, of Peckville, was scheduled to appear in federal court today to plead guilty to charges in an unrelated criminal case involving the use of Senate staff to conduct campaign work on state time. The hearing was postponed late Thursday afternoon by U.S. District Judge Joel Slomsky. Dan Brier, Mellow’s attorney, said Slomsky had a scheduling conflict. He expects a new date to be set soon. In the ethics case, investigators with the Ethics Commission reported Mellow improperly accepted money the Senate paid to Brad Inc. from May 2007 to September 2008, when the Main Street building was sold by the corporation. That’s a total of $40,800 for 17 months worth of rent at $2,400 per month. Mellow’s office had been located at 524 Main St. since 1990. The building was previously owned by G&G Realty, an entity that was created by Gabriel Giordano, who worked as a legislative assistant in Mellow’s district office. The agreement pertains only to the time period in which Brad Inc. owned the building. Investigators determined Mellow violated a section of the State Ethics Code that precludes any public official or employee from using their office to secure financial benefit for themselves or any member of their immediate family. The commission determined Mellow violated that rule by accepting the rental payments and by failing to tell the chief clerk of the state Senate that he held a financial interest in the building. The consent agreement calls for Mellow to pay back $21,000. It notes Mellow does not admit any of the legal or factual conclusions reached by investigators. The agreement also notes that its sole purpose is to resolve the ethics complaint, and that it cannot be used in other proceedings pending against Mellow, or that may be filed at a later date, unless a judge so orders.

Alleged meth traffickers facing consolidated trial

WILKES-BARRE – A husband and wife charged for their alleged roles in manufacturing and trafficking methamphetamine in Luzerne and Columbia counties will stand trial in July, a county judge said. Donna Kocher, 53, and Glen Kocher, 49, both of WilkesBarre, will face a jury at a July 30 trial on 13 charges each. Their trials have been consolidated as one expected to last three days. Both are represented by attorney Demetrius Fannick. State Deputy Attorney General Tim Doherty is prosecuting the cases. The Kochers were among several people charged in June after a crackdown in which 17 meth labs were dismantled. Investigators say eight organizations worked independently to produce and provide enough methamphetamine for individuals in their groups. Meth labs were uncovered in Wilkes-Barre, Newport Township, Dorrance Township, Nescopeck Township, Nanticoke, Edwardsville, Hollenback Township and Beach Haven, according to the state Office of the Attorney General. Agents allege they found large amounts of methamphe-

tamine, chemicals, medications and generators in each of the labs. Investigators say that between May and June 2011 they made four controlled purchases of methamphetamine from the Kochers. Donna Kocher, when interviewed by police, said she had been obtaining medications for several months and giving them to Glen Kocher, her husband, to manufacture methamphetamine, according to court papers. Kocher said she was never part of the actual manufacturing process, but obtained medicines from several different pharmacies. Kocher, who said she has been using the drug for about 27 years, said she had been separated from her husband for about three months and the only contact she had with him was methamphetamine-related. Glen Kocher told police in an interview he used a Regent Street, Wilkes-Barre, garage and a camper in Buck Township as drug-making locations. . Investigators interviewed several people who said they had either purchased medications or meth from the Kochers.

Malpractice retrial set Case involving overturned $3.4M verdict stems from 2008 Ciavarella ruling. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A Luzerne County judge has scheduled a date next year for the retrial of a 2008 legal malpractice case in which the state Superior Court overturned a $3.4 million verdict. The case stems from an appellate court ruling that former county Judge Mark Ciavarella should have recused himself because of a conflict of interest. Judge Michael Vough scheduled a tentative Jan. 14, 2013, trial date for the case of Bernadette Slusser against the law firm of Laputka, Bayless, Ecker and Cohn of Hazleton. The original suit claimed the law firm provided faulty legal representation in a series of lawsuits related to land transactions. The case was overturned in

November 2010 after the high court found Ciavarella should have recused himself based on a personal and financial relationship he had with Robert Powell, Slusser’s attorney. Jeffrey McCarron, attorney for the law firm, sought a new trial in 2009 after Ciavarella and former county Judge Michael Conahan were charged with accepting millions of dollars from Powell and local developer Robert Mericle in exchange for rulings that benefited two juvenile detention facilities that Powell owned. McCarron had suspected Ciavarella had a personal relationship with Powell. When he tried to question him about it during Slusser’s trial, Ciavarella angrily denounced the attorney for questioning whether he could fairly preside over the trial. A transcript of the encounter, a portion of which is included in the court’s opinion, shows Ciavarella repeatedly questioned McCarron regarding the basis of his questions. Ciavarella eventually denied any relationship.

As the criminal charges against Ciavarella and Powell showed, that clearly was not true, the court found. “Appellants’ counsel gave Ciavarella the opportunity to disclose this relationship and recuse himself from the proceedings. Rather than taking such steps, Ciavarella chastised counsel for raising the possibility of an improper relationship and deflected counsel’s questions,” the court said. “All the while, Powell stood by as a silent observer.” Ciavarella did later recuse himself from ruling on posttrial motions in the case, but that did not erase the “specter of unfairness that looms over the results of the trial.” The court vacated all orders issued by Ciavarella and remanded the case back to Luzerne County for a new trial. Vough said a pretrial hearing will be held on Dec. 21, and that if the case is settled before the trial date, attorneys are to contact him to set up a conference.

COURT BRIEF WILKES-BARRE – A Plymouth woman charged with robbing an adult store in October 2011 was sentenced Thursday to six to 12 months in county prison. Christina Ann Shulde, 34, of Moss Street, was sentenced on a single count of robbery by County Judge Lesa Gelb. Shulde pleaded guilty to the charge last month. Gelb said Shulde must report to the county prison on April 30 to begin serving her sentence. According to court papers, on Oct. 11 police were dispatched to Adult World in Larksville for the report of an armed robbery. A clerk at the store said a woman, later identified as Shulde, entered the store, appeared to have a gun in her pocket and demanded money. No weapon was actually shown. Police said that $210 was taken from the store and that they later spoke to Shulde’s husband, who said his wife admitted she robbed the store. Shulde’s husband told police his wife used the money to buy crack cocaine.

Liberia’s Taylor guilty of war crimes

He is first head of state since WW II convicted by international court. By MIKE CORDER Associated Press

French President Nicolas Sarkozy speaks Thursday during an electoral meeting for the second round of the presidential election in Le Raincy, France. He is trying to fend off Francois Hollande, who is the front-runner in the contest in which the economy is the main issue. KABUL, AFGHANISTAN

The verdicts were hailed by prosecutors, victims and rights activists as a watershed moment in efforts to end impunity for leaders responsible for atrocities. Judges at the Special Court for Sierra Leone said Taylor’s aid played a crucial role in allowing the rebels to continue a bloody rampage during that West African nation’s 11-year civil war that ended in 2002 with more than 50,000 dead. The rebels gained international notoriety for hacking off the limbs of their enemies and carving their groups’ initials into opponents and even children they kidnapped and turn-

LEIDSCHENDAM, Netherlands — Former Liberian President Charles Taylor on Thursday became the first head of state since World War II convicted by an international war crimes court, a legal landmark observers say sent a clear message to tyrants around the world that their days of impunity are numbered. Taylor, 64, was found guilty

on 11 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity for sending guns and bullets to Sierra Leone rebels in return for so-called blood diamonds mined by slave laborers and smuggled across the border.

The verdict “permanently locks in and solidifies the idea that heads of state are now accountable for what they do to their own people,” said David Crane, the former prosecutor who indicted Taylor in 2003 and is now a professor of international law. “This is a bell that has been rung and clearly rings throughout the world. If you are a head of state and you are killing your own people you could be next.” United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon also hailed the judgment as “a significant milestone for international criminal justice” that

Also killed were four Afghan police officers who were slain in an attack on their outpost in northern Afghanistan and eight insurgents who were killed by Afghan police as they were trying to plant a roadside bomb in Kandahar province. U.S. military officials said the latest deadly "insider" shooting, a member of the Afghan security forces turning a weapon on Western mentors, took place in southern Afghanistan on Wednesday evening.

Agency looks into claim related to Obama’s El Salvador trip. By ALICIA A. CALDWELL Associated Press

GREENSBORO, N.C.

Edwards lawyer on offense John Edwards’ defense lawyer on Thursday picked apart ex-aide Andrew Young’s story that he was asked to conceal Edwards’ affair with a mistress with campaign money, accusing him of making up stories about the former presidential contender to make money off of the scandal. Andrew Young took witness stand for a fourth straight day at Edwards’ campaign finance fraud trial. The star prosecution witness is key to the government’s case that while campaigning for the White House in 2008, Edwards directed a scheme to use nearly $1 million in secret payments from two wealthy donors to conceal an affair with his pregnant mistress. Edwards has pleaded not guilty to six criminal counts and faces up to 30 years behind bars if convicted. WASHINGTON

$1.3B in health care rebates U.S. consumers and businesses will receive an estimated $1.3 billion in rebates from insurance companies this year, according to a new study quantifying a key early benefit of the health care law that President Obama signed in 2010. That will translate into anywhere from a few dollars to more than $150 for some 15 million consumers nationwide, the new report by the nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation found. Obama’s health care law requires insurers to spend a minimum portion of customers’ premiums on medical care, a provision championed by consumer groups concerned that companies were hiking premiums to pay for executive salaries, shareholder dividends and other expenses unrelated to their customers’ care.

New N.Korea missiles fakes Analysts who have studied photos of a half-dozen ominous new North Korean missiles showcased recently at a lavish military parade say they were fakes, and not very convincing ones, casting further doubt on the country’s claims of military prowess. Since its recent rocket launch failure, Pyongyang’s top military leaders have made several boastful statements about its weapons capabilities. On Wednesday, Vice Marshal Ri Yong Ho claimed his country is capable of defeating the United States “at a single blow.” And on Monday, North Korea promised “special actions” that would reduce Seoul’s government to ashes within minutes. But the weapons displayed April 15 appear to be a mishmash of liquid-fuel and solid-fuel components that could never fly together.

“sends a strong signal to all leaders that they are and will be held accountable for their actions,” said U.N. deputy spokesman Eduardo del Buey. U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland agreed. “The Taylor prosecution at the Special Court delivers a strong message to all perpetrators of atrocities, including those in the highest positions of power, that they will be held accountable,” she said. Taylor tried to avoid trial by claiming head of state immunity in 2003, but the court went ahead with his trial after his 2006 arrest.

House Speaker John Boehner, House Education and the Workforce Committee Chairman Rep. John Kline and Rep. Jeb Hensarling speak about a student loans bill Wednesday on Capitol Hill.

New front in political war By ALAN FRAM Associated Press

WASHINGTON — House Speaker John Boehner said Thursday that President Barack Obama was acting “beneath the dignity of the White House” when he traveled around the country this week to pressure Republicans to help keep federal student loan costs from ballooning. Boehner said Obama should reimburse taxpayers for the trips’ costs. The Ohio Republican spoke a day after Obama wrapped up visits to three college campuses in North Carolina, Colorado and Iowa. At each stop, he gave campaign-like speeches lambasting the GOP and talking up electionyear efforts by Democrats to keep subsidized Stafford loan interest rates from doubling in July, an increase that would affect 7.4 million students. “For the president to make a campaign issue and then to travel to three battleground states and go to three

large college campuses on taxpayers’ money to try to make this some political issue is pathetic,” Boehner told reporters. “And his campaign ought to be reimbursing the Treasury for the cost of this trip.” White House spokesman Jay Carney defended the travel as an effort to press an important policy issue. He said that by taking a high-profile stand in favor of extending the student loan rate, Obama succeeded in winning Republican support. “It is eminently obvious that the president was out talking about a policy issue,” Carney said. “This is official business. And he did it effectively.” Boehner said Obama was charging the Treasury for a trip in which he targeted Republicans for ignoring a problem that GOP lawmakers were already working on. “Frankly, I think this is beneath the dignity of the White House,” he said. He also accused Obama of trying to concoct “fake fights” and added, “The em-

peror has no clothes.” The Boeing 747 that is usually used as Air Force One costs $179,750 an hour to operate, the Pentagon says. Carney countered that Republicans acted in “Johnny-come-lately” fashion and were not inclined to back a continuation of the low rates until Obama made it a public issue. On a day in which both sides used the student loan fight to bolster their standing with voters and cast the other side negatively, the leader of House Democrats accused Republicans of writing a $5.9 billion bill that would raid women’s programs to keep the student loan interest rates from growing. Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., told reporters she will oppose the GOP-written bill on Friday, when it is scheduled for a House vote. The measure would prevent the 3.4 percent interest rate on subsidized Stafford student loans from doubling as scheduled on July 1.

Fans gather to honor Levon Helm at his home By MARY ESCH Associated Press

WOODSTOCK, N.Y. — Busloads of friends and fans of Levon Helm traveled to his home Thursday to say goodbye to the influential singer and drummer for The Band, who died of cancer last week at age 71. The public memorial was held at the Woodstock barn where Helm held his Saturday night Midnight Ramble concerts in New York’s Hudson Valley. His closed casket, on the second floor of the barn, was surrounded by flowers and flanked by his drum kit and a piano.

Hundreds of friends, neighbors and fans filed silently past the coffin, set against a backdrop of a family photo slideshow. Nearby, family members greeted visitors.

Mourners — a crowd of mostly middle-aged people with a smattering of aging hippies and a few young people — were quietly encouraged to keep the line moving. “He was an icon but also the guy next door,” said Al Caron of Woodstock as he waited outside the Woodstock Playhouse for one of the yellow school buses ferrying people to Helm’s nearby home-studio. After a private funeral Friday, Helm will be buried in Woodstock Cemetery next to Rick Danko, The Band’s singer and bassist who died in 1999.

Helm, Danko, Garth Hudson, Robbie Robertson and Richard Manuel’s first album as The Band was 1968’s “Music From Big Pink.” That album and its follow-up, “The Band,” remain landmark albums of the era, and songs such as “The Weight,” “Dixie Down” and “Cripple Creek” have become rock standards. Early on, The Band backed Bob Dylan on his electric tours of 1965-66 and collaborated with him on the legendary “Basement Tapes.” On his website last week, Dylan called Helm “one of the last true great spirits of my or any other generation.”

WASHINGTON — The Secret Service acknowledged Thursday it is investigating whether its employees hired strippers and prostitutes in advance of President Barack Obama’s visit last year to El Salvador. The disclosure came hours after the Homeland Security secretary assured skeptical senators that a separate prostitution scandal in Colombia appeared to be an isolated incident. A spokesman for the Secret Service, Edwin Donovan, said the agency was investigating allegations raised in news reports about unprofessional behavior that have emerged in the aftermath of the prostitution scandal in Colombia. The latest, by Seattle television station KIRO-TV, quoted anonymous sources as saying that Secret Service employees received sexual favors from strippers at a club in San Salvador and took prostitutes to their hotel rooms ahead of Obama’s visit there in March 2011. Prostitution is legal in Colombia and El Salvador. Separately, The Washington Post earlier this week cited unnamed “confidants” of the Secret Service officers implicated in the Colombia scandal saying senior managers tolerated similar behavior during official trips. It described a visit to Buenos Aires in 2009 by former President Bill Clinton, whose protective detail it said included agents and uniformed officers. During that trip, the Post said, members of the detail went out for a late night of partying at strip clubs. “Any information brought to our attention that can be assessed as credible will be followed up on in an appropriate manner,” Donovan said. At an oversight hearing Wednesday on Capitol Hill, senators struggled to reconcile the image of courageous agents assigned to protect the lives of the president and his family with the image of a fraternity atmosphere that has emerged from its investigation in Colombia so far. The chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Sen. Patrick Leahy, DVt., praised the Secret Service as “wise, very professional men and women” and called it shocking that so many of the agency’s employees were implicated in Colombia. At the same hearing, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said there was no evidence of similar behavior, based on a review of complaints during the past 2.5 years to the agency’s Office of Professional Responsibility.

Prom risks in focus Crestwood session aimed at helping students to stay safe at this time of year.

SAFE PROM PLEDGE “I pledge to stay drug and alcohol free on prom night, and I will not to get into a car with a driver that is under the influence.” To take the Safe Prom Pledge, log on to: http://www.714hurt.com. Participants can win awards by taking the pledge.

By EILEEN GODIN Times Leader Correspondent

WRIGHT TWP. -- One irresponsible action like driving impaired during prom season can cost young adults their future – and possibly their lives. Attorneys Greg Fellerman and Ed Ciarimboli delivered that message Thursday to Crestwood High School students, who afterward agreed to take the Safe Prom Pledge. With prom season in full swing, Fellerman and Ciarimboli said they hope their presentation will encourage conversations at home about calling for a safe ride home. April through September is a dangerous time for youths, Fellerman said. The urge to celebrate accomplishments and anxiousness to begin a new chapter is great. But he called this time of year “the killing season” due to the high rate of students killed in crashes. “We know they will be around drugs and alcohol,” Ciarimboli said. “We wanted to do something to get the message out.” The full auditorium of sophomores, juniors and seniors

quieted down quickly when a video clip of the story of the Mid Valley 8 unfolded. On March 6, 1981, eight students from the Scranton area were killed instantly when their car flipped and landed upside down. At the time, this was one of the worst automobile accidents in U.S. history, Fellerman said. “This happened 30 years ago,” Ciarimboli said. “It is still happening.” Another sobering example was a public service announcement from Zephyr DresserPeck of New York, who was driving while intoxicated in May 2007, got into a crash, and killed his best friend, Andrew Dean-Lispon, after their prom. “I guarantee your parents would rather have you call them for a ride late at night,

than talk to us following an accident,” Fellerman said. Along with other prom preparations, students did say discussions with parents on drugs and alcohol are a priority. Tiler Black, a senior, said he talked with his father about prom safety and the importance of calling for a ride. “It was not a hard conversation to have with my dad,” Black said. Junior Lauren Mack said her parents have talked with her about not hesitating to call. Vice Principal Bonnie Gregory and Kellie Matthews, a math teacher, brought the program to the school board’s attention. Last summer Crestwood School District lost one of its own, Brian Madry, in a fatal accident where alcohol was suspected. Looking out into the eyes of the student body, Matthews asked them all to sign the pledge before picking up their prom tickets. “We want to see all of you back here on Monday,” she said.

Warrant issued for woman who allegedly failed to show for deposition By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – A federal judge on Wednesday issued an arrest warrant for a Glen Lyon woman who has disobeyed several court orders directing her to appear for a deposition in a civil lawsuit filed by a former Luzerne County prison guard. U.S. District Judge Robert Mariani directed the U.S. Marshal’s Office to take Angela Sweet into custody and hold her for up to 18 months, or until she

complies with two orders to appear at a deposition at the law offices of Kimberly Borland in Wilkes-Barre. Mariani also fined Sweet $2,000 and ordered her to pay attorney’s fees, which have not yet been calculated, that Borland incurred in filing motions seeking to compel her appearance. Borland represents Robert Turner of Pittston, a former lieutenant at the county prison who was fired in 2008 after Sweet and Leah Beckley, both of whom

were prison guards, accused him of sexually harassing them. Turner filed a federal lawsuit against the county in April 2010, claiming the sexual harassment allegations were false and that the real reason he was fired is that he had been a political supporter of then county commissioner Maryanne Petrilla. Borland has been attempting for months to question Sweet as part of pre-trial evidence gathering in the case. She has failed to obey several subpoenas Borland

issued seeking her attendance at a deposition, according to court papers. Borland filed a motion for contempt of court on April 9. Mariani held a hearing on the motion Wednesday, which Sweet did not attend, and found her to be in contempt. Turner’s lawsuit was one of three federal lawsuits that were filed against the prison relating to the alleged sexual harassment. Sweet and Beckley also filed suit, claiming the county

failed to take action against Turner after they made allegations against him. Sweet’s lawsuit was settled out of court in November 2011 for $50,000, according to attorney John Dean, who represented the county. Beckley’s suit was also settled in November 2011 for $135,000, Dean said. Both settlements were paid by the county’s insurance carrier. Turner’s lawsuit remains pending in federal court.

Company near Hick’s Creek cited by DEP By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

EXETER -- The state Department of Environmental Protection has cited a second company in the vicinity of Hick’s Creek for allegedly violating a state environmental law. But the reason the agency even stumbled upon the violations – a mid-March oil spill that was spotted in the creek – remains under investigation. DEP has issued a notice of violation of the state’s Clean Stream Law this week to Bridon American and gave the company 15 days to inform the state agency of the steps it has taken to eliminate the industrial waste being disposed of into its storm water sewer. That waste -- cooling water used in the company’s metal rope making process -- is finding its way into the creek. DEP spokeswoman Colleen Connolly said “We’re still conducting the Hick’s Creek investigation, but along the way we found two companies doing things they were not allowed to do, things they knew they were not allowed to do.” In March, a week after the oil spill was spotted, DEP found violations on the property of Bosco Inc. Leaking equipment and machinery was noticed by a DEP investigator leading to a compliance order being issued. DEP cited Bosco under the state’s Solid Waste Management Act and gave the company a plan of action to address the issues and clean it up. Connolly said there is no proof the leaking fluids on the Bosco property is the same lubricating fluid that found its way into the creek. The investigation began in mid-March when a report of an oily substance that created a quarter-mile slick in the creek. DEP officials spanned out to investigate local businesses and properties to try to determine where the leak might be coming from. The two companies cited for non-related violations are both within a mile of the creek.

Collegiate crescendo

By RODRIQUE NGOWI The Associated Press

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Residents of a dorm at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology dropped an upright piano from their roof Thursday to celebrate the last day students can drop classes without having them appear on their college transcript. About 200 onlookers watched as the piano crashed into a second piano, a baby grand, positioned on the ground six stories below for a better smash. People scrambled for souvenir pieces — keys, hammers, strings and splinters. The tradition began in 1972 at the Baker House dormitory and has been observed sporadically until 2006, when it became an annual event, said Michael Plasmeier, who heads the dorm’s student government that organized the ritual.

“It was sort of not the official event. It was just some students who had a broken dorm piano that they threw off the roof,” he said. “Today, it’s much more formalized and announced and planned with everyone.” The piano drop tradition is so popular that astronaut Catherine Coleman, an MIT alumna, took a piano key from the event to space in a nod to the tradition, Baker House housemaster Jeffrey Hoffman, professor of aerospace engineering and a former astronaut, said. The upright piano was rolled from a makeshift ramp on the Baker House roof. No piano has ever fallen on anyone’s head, organizers say. “It’s done very safely, and it’s done with coordination with MIT security and emergency management office, and we set up a barrier well away from the piano, and then the people

on the roof receive training from the security and management office,” Plasmeier said. The tradition is a simple affair. “There is just a countdown and the piano falls off the roof,” he said. Broken pianos are used in the drop, generally donated by people eager to get someone to pick up the unwanted instrument for free. Other items may be placed below, such as the second piano this year. “We have a certain reputation for getting rid of pianos for people so the pianos find us — people emailing all the time and say ‘I have extra pianos. Can you please take them,”’ Plasmeier said. “This year, we had someone who has five pianos and wanted us to take them, so then we contracted with the piano movers to pick them up from the people at no cost to them.”

MILWAUKEE — Hundreds of atheists, freethinkers and other nonbelievers from around the Midwest will gather in Madison, Wis., this weekend for a conference marking the launch of a new umbrella group aimed at pulling together many of the area’s so-called “Nones.” Not nuns, the Nones — that growing legion of Americans who answer “none” in surveys that track religious affiliation. The Madison Area Coalition of Reason encompasses 10 member and allied groups, from the Humanist Union of Madison to the Madison Skeptics and the Secular Student Alliance at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. The Madison coalition is one of at least 50 such groups in 30 states founded or promoted with funding from the Washington, D.C.-based United Coalition of Reason. “The aim is to raise the public profile of these groups so they can better find their audience,” national director Fred Edwords said. “We’re not here to convert people; our aim is to help people who already think like us know that there is a community out there,” he said. A segment of that community — 601 and counting — has registered for the Madison coalition’s first regional conference, which begins today. The three-day Freethought Festival features presentations on a wide range of topics, from secular parenting and morality to the historical Jesus and the separation of church and state.

Presenters include high-profile voices in the atheist/reason universe that encompasses a range of ideologies — atheism, agnosticism, skepticism, freethinking, humanism and more. Among them: bloggers PZ Myers and Hemant Mehta; Ellery Schempp, now 71, whose high school protest ended in the landmark 1963 Supreme Court ruling banning public schoolsanctioned Bible readings; and Sean Faircloth of the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science, a former Maine legislator whose new book “Attack of the Theocrats” takes on the religious right. The national coalition also helped finance an Internet ad campaign that had the message “Freethought Festival 2012: Reason to Celebrate” popping up on Madison-area computers in advance of the gathering. “We’ve been working on it for a year,” said Chris Calvey of the student Atheists, Humanists & Agnostics association at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The association is playing host to the conference. “This is our coming-out party.” More than 34 million Americans identify as “unaffiliated” with a religious group, according to researchers at Trinity College and the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life. The number of Nones nearly doubled to 15 percent of the adult U.S. population from 1990 to 2008, according to Trinity’s 2008 American Religious Identification Survey — outranking every other major U.S. religious group except Catholics and Baptists. Regarding a belief in the divine, it said, most Nones are neither atheists nor theists, but instead are agnostics and deists, "and perhaps best described as skeptics."

Breakdown led to $30M city theft We’ve Always Cared By MELISSA JENCO and ANDY GRIMM Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — Numerous financial safeguards broke down or simply didn’t exist in Dixon, Ill., allowing Rita Crundwell, the city’s longtime treasurer and comptroller, to allegedly pilfer an astonishing $30 million from the coffers of the small town over the last six years, experts say. The local bank didn’t alert the mayor about a city bank account listed in the care of Crundwell. An annual audit didn’t send up red flags about transfers of hundreds of thousands of dollars at a time into and out of that account. City officials didn’t monitor the books closely enough to notice that huge amounts of tax dollars were disappearing. Crundwell, a longtime, trusted employee, had a virtual stranglehold over city finances. And those who knew her shrugged off her lavish personal lifestyle despite her modest $80,000-a-year city post, figuring her wealth came from her champion quarter horse breeding farms in Dixon and Beloit, Wis. “This had to be the perfect storm of embezzlement,” Dennis Czurylo, a former Internal Revenue Service agent for 25 years who now does forensic accounting in the private sector. A week after Crundwell was arrested and whisked away in handcuffs from City Hall on a charge of wire fraud, a Chicago Tribune review of financial controls in Dixon shows they were abysmally weak and raises questions about what could have been done to prevent the alleged thefts. The question perplexing many residents of this town best known as the boyhood home of President Ronald Reagan: How could that much money go undetected by city leaders? Some residents plan to hold a rally at city offices today to demand answers. Lots of fingers pointed Czurylo and several other government finance experts said

ing money from a handful of accounts into the city’s Capital Development Fund account, which finances major capital improvements. Authorities said she then moved the money into an account that bore both the city’s name and "R.S.C.D.A c/o Rita Crundwell." It was from this account that the FBI alleges Crundwell spent more than $30 million in city money over the last six years on her horse business, a luxury motor home and horse trailer, jewelry and credit card payments. Sinason said the auditor might have spotted the large transactions but accepted Crundwell’s explanations for them. But auditors are supposed to look more in depth at suspicious items. "Their answer is not enough ...You have to have other evidence," he said. Czurylo said the huge transfers should have been "the red flag of all time." "It sounds like somebody was asleep at the wheel," he said. "This should have been caught immediately." But Kelly Pope, assistant professor of accountancy at DePaul University and a forensic accountant, said auditors are often unfairly blamed for missing fraud when they look at only a portion of the finances. In Dixon, the key account at the center of the thefts may not have even been part of the audit sample, she said. However, Pope said she was shocked the small town government wasn’t shut down by the size of the losses. Jennifer Dirks, communications director of CliftonLarsonAllen, stressed her firm’s duty was only to collect the documents. She said the firm was "fully cooperating" with the investigation.

they have never seen a fraud of this magnitude involving municipal money. Crundwell is accused of stealing more than the annual police and fire department budgets combined in each of the last six years. Much of the finger-pointing since Crundwell’s arrest has been aimed at the city’s auditors who did not raise any red flags about the city’s finances in the last six years. The experts caution that auditors are often easy scapegoats — that their reviews can be cursory. But the large amounts of money being moved around by Crundwell should have drawn attention, they said. Two independent firms were involved in Dixon’s annual audit. CliftonLarsonAllen, located in Dixon, just gathered the financial documents, while Samuel S. Card of Sterling played the far more important role of analyzing them. Mayor James Burke, who has led the city of nearly 16,000 since 1999, said he has scrutinized every year’s audit but admitted that he and other city leaders may "have a misconception of what these audits do." He has suggested that the city’s other financial problems may have masked the losses caused by the thefts. Calling Crundwell "very crafty," the mayor said, "It seemed like she knew just how to leave enough money in there to keep paying the bills and limping along." David Sinason, a Northern Illinois University accountancy professor and certified fraud examiner, said a routine audit is not geared toward catching fraud, but there were enough unusual transactions and such lax financial controls that the auditors or elected officials should have noticed something was amiss. A close look at even one of the large transfers by Crundwell or the checks she had made out to "Treasurer" should have set off alarms.

NANTICOKE – Police are investigating a report of money missing from the cafeteria of the Greater Nanticoke Area Educational Center. School officials contacted law enforcement Thursday, said Vito Deluca, solicitor for the school district. Nanticoke police Detective Capt. William Shultz confirmed the investigation focused on the middle school. Shultz said Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis was notified about the missing funds. The district attorney added that she assigned a detective from her office to work with Nanticoke police on the investigation. They will get together early next week. Deluca, Salavantis and Shultz all said they could not go into detail about the investigation at this time because it is in the preliminary stages. “We may have to have an audit done,” said Shultz. Deluca added, “We’re also conducting our own investigation concurrently.”

4 MU students suspended after bust

Authorities allege marijuana sales made By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

DALLAS TWP. – Four students at Misericordia University were suspended after they were charged Wednesday with trafficking marijuana. Dean B. Tilton, 22, of Wading River, N.Y., and Donald V. Squire Jr., 21, of East Northport, N.Y., were arrested after they allegedly delivered marijuana on Tuesday. Police searched their off-cam-

pus apartment above a sporting goods store on state Route 415 on Wednesday morning, allegedly finding quantities of marijuana, prescription drugs and contraband, according to the criminal complaints. Casey Thomas Weisenbach, 22, of Barrington, N.J., and Eddie Rufius Perry, 22, of Riverhead, N.Y., were in the apartment when it was searched, the criminal complaints say. Weisenbach also was charged

Man shot wife with flare gun The Associated Press

GREENSBURG — A western Pennsylvania man faces at least two years in prison for shooting his wife with a flare gun during an argument in February. Fifty-two-year-old Michael Carney pleaded guilty Wednesday to reckless endangerment and aggravated assault in return for a maximum sentence of seven years. Carney admitted firing the flare gun at the face of his wife, Ruth, as they ar-

with delivering marijuana in October. The arrests are the result of a two-month investigation by township police. Police said Tilton, Squire, Weisenbach and Perry are students at the university in Dallas Township. Paul Krzywicki, assistant director of marketing communications at Misericordia University, stated in an email the four students have been suspended

pending adjudication of their cases. They are not permitted on campus or allowed to participate in any university-related events, Krzywicki stated. Another student at Misericordia, Garry S. Melville, 21, of Scranton, was suspended when he was arrested at an on-campus townhouse apartment building on April 3. Police allege Melville sold marijuana from the townhouse for several months before his arrest. Tilton, Squire, Weisenbach

and Perry were arraigned Wednesday by District Judge Diana Malast in Plains Township on drug offenses. Tilton, Squire and Perry were jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $10,000 bail each. Weisenbach was jailed for lack of $7,500 bail. Melville remains free on $15,000 unsecured bail. Preliminary hearings for the five suspended students are scheduled on May 3 before District Judge James Tupper in Kingston Township.

gued. He reloaded and fired again, hitting her in the upper abdomen before punching her in the face. The Sutersville, Westmoreland County, man apologized during the hearing. He called his actions “unwarranted.” Ruth Carney said in a letter to the judge she did not agree with the plea agreement. She said she decided to accept it to put the incident behind her.

Pa.: Gas health complaints few The Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — The Pennsylvania Department of Health said Thursday it has received less than 30 complaints from people who feel natural gas drilling has impacted their health. The state’s public health agency also said it has no manuals or guidelines for how its staff should respond to health complaints about gas drilling. The information came in response to a Right to

Know request from The Associated Press, but the agency refused to provide details of the complaints, such as where and when they occurred. The AP reported earlier this month that politicians stripped up to $2 million in new Health Department funding from recent legislation. Officials had planned to use the money to research and register the health impacts of gas drilling.

DA: Guard in fatal $2M heist claims self-defense By JOE MANDAK Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — The armored car guard who allegedly absconded with $2.3 million after killing his partner told investigators he shot his fellow guard only after that guard tried to stop the heist, but the physical evidence doesn’t support that claim, Pittsburgh’s top prosecutor said Thursday. Allegheny County District Attorney Konias Stephen Zappala Jr. said authorities believe Kenneth Konias Jr. was driving the Garda Cash Logistics armored car when he opened a door behind the driver’s seat and fatally Haines shot his partner, Michael Haines, who was in the middle of the truck’s three compartments on Feb. 28 in Pittsburgh. But while Zappala believes Haines most likely did oppose the heist, he said the physical evidence doesn’t support what Zappala considers Konias’ self-serving claim that he only shot Haines after Haines aimed a gun at him. Haines was shot in the back of the head, Zappala said. “I thought it was important for the Haines family to know he was not complicit” in the crime, Zappala said. Investigators have yet to recover Haines’ service weapon and may never know, therefore, if he drew it or whether Konias took it. A team of FBI agents and Pennsylvania investigators have gone to Florida trying to trace Konias’ movements prior to his arrest early Tuesday in Pompano Beach, north of Miami. Zappala did not offer details on reports that Konias confided in a prostitute.

OUR OPINION: BROKEN GOV’T

Mellow’s ‘service’ costly to support

ORMER STATE senator and suspected crook Robert Mellow must repay the state $21,000 for an unethical real estate deal involving his former district office, but don’t worry, he shouldn’t have any trouble coming up with the cash. Mellow might lack morals, but he’s not short on income. Not even in retirement. His taxpayer-supported state pension yields $11,579 per month. That’s about $139,000 each year, or more than three times the median household income in Luzerne County, based on the latest census data. If there is one thing Mellow, 70, mastered during his four decades as a “public servant” in Harrisburg, it’s how to take care of himself. He had been expected to appear at 9 this morning at the federal courthouse in Scranton to enter a guilty plea on criminal charges that are not connected to his lucrative office-leasing deal. Prosecutors allege the Archbald resident and Democratic bigwig conspired between 2006 and 2010 to have staffers illegally perform duties for Friends of Bob Mellow, an organization that raised money for his re-election campaign. The group also supported certain of his Democratic allies. Prosecutors allege that the scheme cost the state Senate as much as $120,000. If so, Mellow

could be sentenced to five years in prison; but don’t worry, he’ll probably serve much less time – if Mellow any. We’ll have to wait to see how this case gets resolved and whether it impacts the status of his pension. Mellow’s scheduled court hearing was postponed, according to a judge’s order released Thursday afternoon. No new date was immediately set. Despite apparent shortcomings, Mellow retains admirers – or at least apologists – in the region he served until November 2010. The 22nd District included the Luzerne County communities of Avoca, Duryea and Dupont. Mellow, over his years and years in elected office, made many pals in high places. His boosters included local real estate developer Robert Mericle, a key figure in the area’s kids-forcash corruption scandal. Mericle and associates donated $137,450 to him from 2005 to 2009, according to a prior news report. So, don’t worry. Robert Mellow will be just fine. Your only real concern should be this: Can you afford to keep paying taxes to a state government that supports him and his ilk?

Romney is counting on our collective amnesia.” Joe Biden The vice president delivered a campaign speech at New York University on Thursday during which he characterized the foreign policy platform of Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney as much like the strategies used by former President George W.

His pig props and all, Stilp is man for the job

ene Stilp’s victory in claiming the Democratic nomination for representative in the 11th Congressional District sounds a wake-up call to the arrogant and greed-ridden establishment in Washington. His brand of “in-your-face activism” demonstrates a fascinating blend of knowledge, courage and perseverance. Employing sideshow theatrics to accentuate a cause is nothing new in politics, but Gene’s dog-and-pony show is truly turning heads. The pink pig is a clever prop, but the man behind the curtain is a genuine crusader, and his arguments on government overreach and greed are delivered with surgical precision. I recall meeting and chatting with Gene more than 40 years ago and his ideals and social conscience have not changed. We need this man to represent us in D.C. Somewhere U.S. Rep.

We’re one nation W divided by inequity

HE OCCUPY WALL Street protesters were right about one thing. When CEOs are making 380 times the salary of the average worker, you don’t have to be a Marxist to feel something is fundamentally out of whack. In 2011 the average CEO pay of companies in the S&P 500 Index jumped 13.9 percent to $12.94 million, while the average worker pay rose 2.8 percent to $34,053. This yawning gap is the largest in the world, according to the latest AFL-CIO Executive Paywatch. An average worker would have to toil for 11,100 years to make as much as Apple CEO Timothy Cook. With an annual pay package of $378 million, Cook makes in 2 hours and 12 minutes what the president of the United States makes in a year. The Russell 3000 Index EDITORIAL BOARD

keeps track of not only salary information, but also how mutual funds voted on compensation of the highest-paid CEOs. With mutual funds owning more than a fifth of all shares in U.S. publicly traded companies, they can play a significant role in shaping, on behalf of their investors and the public, the size of executive pay. Federated Investors, for instance, voted 73.6 percent of the time against CEO pay packages in which its clients’ money was involved. Workers wouldn’t mind the high CEO pay so much if they saw their own lot improving, but nowadays employees must pay more of their health insurance costs and save for their pensions, while pay is stagnant. Income inequality is spawning deep divisions in America, and this is one problem that starts at the top. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Freedom of Choice Act viewed as un-American

any people believe that the presidential election in November is critical and citizens should know as much as possible about the candidates in order to make informed decisions. Our nation is in serious financial condition, owing a staggering $16 trillion to China and other nations. We continue to spend $2 billion each week for a war in Afghanistan, the outcome of which is highly uncertain. An argument can be made that if we finally do leave, the country will revert to the way it was for centuries, with the Taliban controlling the vast area of mountain villages. Our nation has become materialistic and has adopted secularism as a way of life. We

are on the way to being a socialistic state. We seem to have lost our sense of moral and ethical values. What has all of the above to do with the Freedom of Choice Act? We in this nation kill approximately 350,000 unborn or partially born each year, a statistic we can ill be proud of claiming. This seems to be not only morally wrong, it also is un-American to take the lives of defenseless human beings. No one has the right to choose to kill another, except in self-defense or in a just war or the like. I do not fault anyone who might have had an abortion; God will judge, that is not for me. As a senator from the state of Illinois before becoming president, President Barack Obama co-sponsored the Freedom of Choice Act. That act would have prohibited any of the 50 states from having restrictions on abortion, including the use of ultrasound, parental consent of minors and partial-birth abortion. If President Obama were to be re-elected, and should both houses of Congress be controlled by members of the Democratic Party, would he instruct the Senate to bring the act out of committee? In fairness to the president, he should have the opportunity to change his views on the Freedom of Choice Act and let the citizens know his current position. Tom Guirk Quinn Dunmore

Show the Earth you care by planting a tree, or two

oday marks the 140th year that Arbor Day has been celebrated across the United States. By comparison, we have been celebrating Earth Day for only 42 years. With today’s concerns about global climate change, increased energy consumption, air and water pollution, habitat loss, increased human health issues such as asthma, obesity and skin cancer and a declining quality of life in some of our communities, there is even more reason for us to celebrate Arbor Day and embrace the largest “green” elements in our landscapes. Many people think Arbor Day is only for kids, but I think we all need to take time to plant, care for or learn more about trees and the roles they play in maintaining healthy environments in which we live. Consider this: As we continue to debate the need for energy in this country, increased urbanization over the past 50 years

DOONESBURY

has led to increased temperatures within our communities averaging about 2 degrees Fahrenheit per decade. Meanwhile the demand for electricity increases by 3 to 4 percent for every 2-degree increase. The average American uses about 1,000 kilowatt hours per month. A study conducted by Greg McPherson of the U.S. Forest Service in 1994 showed that if just three trees were planted for every two houses in the nation (a total of 100 million trees), we could reduce energy consumption for heating and cooling by 30 billion kilowatt hours. That would be enough energy to power the state of Maryland for six months (5 million people). As we remove trees and forest canopy and replace it with roads, parking lots, driveways, homes, patios, pools (impervious surfaces) and even grass, we immediately have impact on watersheds and streams (or lakes). As this “stormwater runoff” travels to the streams it collects pollutants and increases speed (causing stream bank erosion) and downstream flooding. More than 3,000 miles of streams in Pennsylvania are polluted by stormwater runoff. Trees, especially large trees with large leafy canopies, play an incredible role in reducing stormwater runoff by intercepting rainfall, using stormwater for growth, preventing soil erosion and removing pollutants that are in the stormwater. A single large deciduous tree can intercept about 700 gallons of precipitation in a year, while a mature evergreen can intercept more than 4,000 gallons that would otherwise become stormwater. Those same trees that help us conserve energy and reduce stormwater (pollution and flooding) also sequester atmospheric carbon and remove airborne pollutants. Carbon dioxide, the greenhouse gas that is causing climate change, is removed by trees (and forests) and used to make plant food (photosynthesis) and wood. Trees in our communities not only help the local environment, they reduce traffic speeds, beautify our streets and homes, increase property values and attract shoppers to business districts. Yes, trees have a positive impact on the economic viability of our community and the health of its downtown. National studies showed that shoppers preferred trees in business districts, and those shoppers were willing to travel farther, stay longer and spend more (up to 11 percent) in aesthetically pleasing commercial areas that had trees. In a time when our downtowns are struggling to survive and compete with the big-box stores, merchants need to stop blaming trees for blocking signs and begin to work together with municipalities to create destinations where shoppers will feel comfortable walking and spending more time and money. Learn more about trees and their care by attending a workshop or visiting this website: www.patrees.org. Volunteer to help plant trees in your community, or plant a tree or two on your property to help your local watershed – and the planet.

Some taxpayers denounce parking lease idea Drugs, filthy parks concern W-B resident who says he walks streets every day.

By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Three regulars at City Council meetings raised their concerns Thursday about the city’s intent to at least research leasing its parking assets. Karen Ceppa Hirko, Bob Kadluboski and Frank Sorick, president of the Wilkes-Barre City Taxpayers Association criticized the plan. Mayor Tom Leighton has proposed leasing the parking garages, surface lots and meters to raise revenue for public safety and infrastructure in lieu of raising taxes or fees. The city Parking

Authority met Thursday afternoon and placed a cap on payments to its consulting firm. The authority will solicit Requests for Qualifications to see how many bidders would be interested in leasing the parking assets. Any deal would require a minimum of a $20 million payment up front. Ceppa Hirko called the proposed deal a “scam.” “This whole deal has been designed and manipulated to reward campaign contributors and friends of the mayor with tens of thousands of dollars of no-bidwork at ridiculous rates,” she said. “The city has (money) for this, but we have no resources to adequately staff our fire, police and EMS services. You all know this is wrong.” The Parking Authority has retained the Philadelphia law firm of Fox Rothschild to lead the process. J.J. Murphy, former city

administrator, has been retained by Fox Rothschild for consulting work. Murphy’s brother, Patrick, is a partner at Fox Rothschild. The law firm and its lead attorney on the city parking project, Alan Wohlstetter, have both contributed about $6,000 to Leighton’s past campaigns. Murphy, through his Goals Consulting firm, is paid $300 per hour on the project and has submitted invoices in excess of $34,000 for work done since January. “This scheme has been exposed for the scam that it is,” Ceppa Hirko said. Kadluboski asked council what is going to be done about the parking issue. “The citizens are outraged,” he said. Councilwoman Maureen Lavelle attended the authority meeting to gather information.

She said she wants to be prepared when and if she has to decide whether to enter into an agreement to lease the parking assets. “I want to make the correct decision when the time comes,” she said. “I want to be sure it’s the best decision for the taxpayers and residents of the city.” Lavelle said she was not aware that Murphy was involved and she did not know Fox Rothschild had donated to Leighton’s campaigns. But she said it wouldn’t have affected her decision to look into leasing the parking facilities. In another matter brought before council, resident James Gallagher told officials that he walks the streets every day in his job as a letter carrier, and he doesn’t like what he sees. “The streets of this city aren’t nice anymore,” Gallagher said. “It’s a shame the way the city is –

the streets are cluttered with drug paraphernalia and the parks are filthy.” Gallagher said he took his daughter to a park in his Poplar Street neighborhood and she picked up a bag that contained drugs. “I find syringes and other drug residue,” he said. “I am a voice for the streets because I walk them every day. Something has to be done.” Gallagher said he sees drug dealers and he told council they act like they own the city. “The streets are crying out for some help,” he said. Gallagher also asked council to paint lines on the streets. He said he was nearly sideswiped several times because vehicles can’t discern where the traffic lanes are. “And the streets are unsafe in that way too,” he said.

the bills through a right-to-know request with the city’s Parking Authority. According to the timesheets, Goals Consulting began working on the project on Jan. 9. Goals Consulting was retained by Fox Rothschild, where Murphy’s brother, Patrick, is a partner. There have been four timesheets submitted, all signed by J.J. Murphy: • Jan. 9-16 – 20.1 hours at $300 per hour, $6,050, plus $79.20 in expenses, total $6,129.20. • Jan. 17-31 – 21.1 hours at $300 per hour, $6,330, plus $79.30 expenses, total $6,409.20. • Feb. 21- March 15 – 27.1 hours at $300 per hour, $8,130, plus $79.20 expenses, total $8,209.20. • March 18 – April 13 – 46.5 hours at $300 per hour, $13,950, plus $79.20 expenses, total $14,029.20. This was approved at Thursday’s meeting. Murphy defended his fees in an emailed statement late Thursday. “My fee is based on my contribution to the value the city and the Parking Authority derive from this project,” he said. “At the end of the day I hope to provide a dramatic return on investment for them and an equitable compensation for me.” Members of the authority – Paul Maher, chairman, Katarsky, Mary Ann King and Robert Jabers – said they were not aware that Murphy’s brother worked for Fox Rothschild before hiring the firm, and they did not know Fox Rothschild and Wohlstetter had contributed between $5,000 and $6,000 to Leighton’s political campaigns since 2010. “You said you had the expertise and all we hear is consultants, consultants, consultants,” Katarsky said to Wohlstetter. In addition to Fox Rothschild and Goals Consulting, Shelly Communications of Harrisburg has been retained. The authority also put on hold an agreement with Desman Associates, a Chicagobased specialist in parking planning. The authority told Wohlstetter that it would deal with Desman on its own. “We’re not addressing Desman today,” Ufberg said.

Rothschild. Ufberg said suspending the Fox Rothschild contract would require modifications to the agreement. King said if the board was dissatisfied with Fox Rothschild, the contract should be terminated. “If we’re upset, why suspend it?” King asked. “Why not just stop it?” Ufberg said that would be a board decision, but Tom Torbik, the authority’s executive director, suggested capping the contract until Phase 1 is completed. Leighton said the city believes pursuing a lease of parking assets is the right move at this time. He cited the value in the assets and said a successful lease agreement could provide improved operations as well as improve the financial strength of the city government. “There are important initiatives that would be funded by the proceeds of such a lease and the taxpayers of the city would see tangible results from those investQuestions on Fox Rothschild ments in public safety and neighborhood Katarsky at first proposed suspending support,” Leighton said. “We remain comthe authority’s engagement with Fox mitted to pursuing this opportunity.”

One of the themes repeated by the commissioners, their attorneys and the stadium authority throughout a public hearing Wednesday night and the authority meeting Thursday was the lengthy negotiations were able to produce a deal that was much more favorable to the county than the earlier tentative agreements with the Yankees. The New York Yankees received an option to purchase the franchise in 2007 when former Lackawanna County Commissioner Robert Cordaro negotiated the deal that produced an affiliation with the team in place of the Philadelphia Phillies and the former Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons. A Memorandum of Understanding with SWB Yankees in November of 2010 created the groundwork for the deal that the new county commissioners insisted on improving before accepting. “This agreement is light years ahead of where we were years ago,” said authority member Christopher Munley, who still

cast the lone dissenting vote. McGee, the Scranton attorney who led the push that resulted in Triple-A baseball arriving in Northeastern Pennsylvania in 1989, spoke out against the sale in the public comments portion of the stadium authority meeting. McGee, a former member of and solicitor for the authority, was the only member of the public to speak. He repeated his statement from Wednesday’s public hearing that the Stadium Authority should not enter into the agreement without more binding contract language to prevent the Yankees from taking the team out of the area. The sales agreement includes

“I wish they would have fired (Fox Rothschild).” Frank Sorick president of the Wilkes-Barre City Taxpayers Association

It was not known if Fox Rothschild would remain the authority’s consultant during Phase 2. The $10,000 cap approved Thursday would expire on May 22, the date the RFQ responses are due back. “If at that point in time and if there is sufficient interest, the board can make a decision whether or not to go forward,” Torbik said. “We have to see some numbers.” The RFQ responses will only tell the authority how many companies are willing to pay the upfront money and consider a lease. The sentiment among authority members is that $20 million is not enough for a 30-year term and much less appealing for a 50-year lease. “I wish they would have fired (Fox Rothschild),” said Frank Sorick, presi-

a 30-year lease of the stadium by SWB Yankees. “I’m opposed to the sale because of the risk that the team can relocate,” McGee said. “I strongly urge you not to act until the New York Yankees enter into a non-relocation agreement that they entered into with their own city.” Protective language The lease and existing contract language are enough to protect Lackawanna County, according to Labovitz, who led negotiations on behalf of the county. They combine with the financial commitment the Yankees are making, including on future maintenance and capital improvements to the stadium, to make such a move unlikely, said Labovitz. Authority members Timlin, Bill Jenkins, Anthony Zaleski and Joe DeAntona voted in favor of the sale. “This hurts me,” said Jenkins, who was also critical of Mandalay. “I never wanted the team sold. We were not left with many options after the agreement in 2007.” Should the Yankees try to move the team, the county would have the right to repurchase the franchise. Munley said the board will not give away those rights.

dent of the Wilkes-Barre City Taxpayers Association. “The parking authority should not lease its assets. Mr. Katarsky was right; we don’t need to spend another dime. It’s always so easy to spend someone else’s money, but this is taxpayers’ money.” Bob Kadluboski, the city’s former towing contractor, spoke often during the meeting, telling the board that Leighton has “overstepped his bounds.”

Munley said “Mandalay has done a lousy job with our team over the last five years.” Timlin followed and said, “Mr. Munley is 100 percent correct” when describing Mandalay’s operations of the franchise. Kristen Rose, who had served as Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees team president, stepped down last week and took a new position with Mandalay. Attendance issues Concessions made by SWB Yankees during negotiations on the agreement of sale were seen by some as an indication that it will be committed to improving the product and reversing declining attendance, which reached a franchise-low in 2011. The Yankees are leasing the stadium at $750,000 per year and have committed $15 million toward future stadium upgrades, which was one of the biggest turning points in getting the deal done. Stadium project construction manager Greg Butz said Wednesday night that preliminary demolition work would begin today with major demolition work to start next week. Timlin said that when the new-look stadium is unveiled, the team is likely to also have a new name.

fill just two positions and both required very specific backgrounds and experience. He said that even if he didn’t find qualified applicants, the expo was good exposure for his company, one of the largest non-health care, non-education related entities in Lackawanna County. Corey Spahle, of Wilkes-Barre, sat at a table across from the booth manned by Mid-Atlantic Youth Services filling out an application for the company that operates child treatment centers in Pittston Township and western Pennsylvania. With a resume chock full of jobs and experiences, Spahle, 31, said he was “78.6 percent confident” he’ll be contacted for an interview or job offer by one of the companies he applied to on Thursday. He was happy with the number and variety of companies participating. “It’s like Sam’s Club for jobs here. One stop shopping,” he laughed. Kevin Gardner, who was working the Santo Volvo booth along with Eileen Bartoli, said he has attended many job fairs but he noticed something at Thursday’s ex-

ed” a black student whom he tried to help off the ground. “I reached in to get him up and felt something hit me, a machete,” Allen testified. He said he did not feel pain until he looked at his left hand that was “hanging.” Allen was rushed to Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center, where he underwent nine hours of surgery to reattach his left hand. He continues to wear an arm brace and takes prescription medication when pain intensifies. He said he has regained feelings in only three fingers. “I can’t do everything I could do before,” Allen said. Borbon, 20, was arrested in New Jersey on charges of aggravated assault, simple assault, reckless endangerment and criminal conspiracy. District Judge Andrew Barilla determined assistant district attorneys Mamie Phillips and Alexis Falvello established a case against Borbon, sending all charges to Luzerne County Court. Borbon remains jailed at the county prison for lack of $150,000 bail. Abreu is facing similar charges that will likely be transferred to juvenile court next week, Phillips said. “As any parent, you don’t wish for anything like this to happen to your child,” said Allen’s mother, Darlene Burt. “I’m glad it’s not worse than what it is.” “The injuries are significant, and the victim is going to have to deal with this for a long time,” Phillips said. “We’re happy things went well today, and we’re looking forward to the next phase in the judicial system.” Abreu testified he attends the Luzerne County Intermediate Alternative Learning Center in Plains Township and decided to skip school on Feb. 9 because of a “planned fight” between African Americans and Dominicans. He said both he and Borbon are from the Dominican Republic. Upon questioning from Allen’s attorney, Nanda Palissery, Abreu denied he carried a backpack with a machete to the fight, a claim listed in the criminal complaint. Abreu said they were walking around the area of GAR looking for a place to fight when the brawl erupted. Borbon did not testify.

po that was new. He was seeing a lot more college degree-holding applicants. “We just had a guy, a business marketing degree out of Penn State, who said he was willing to do any job we have available,” Gardner said. The company that perhaps had the most positions available on Thursday was Cigna Health, which like Santo Volvo, is located in Moosic. Ed Sadauskas said the company was hoping to fill at least 30 jobs, mostly to handle inbound calls from plan members. “We’ve had a lot of foot traffic, a lot of applications,” he said, noting that at least 300 people had stopped by his booth by 1:30 p.m. He said he was confident there were enough quality applicants to fill the 30 positions. Arcangeletti, who said he’s living “way under middle class,” said he’d like to move out of his apartment and start a family, but the top goal on his to-do list is landing a job. He hopes within days he’ll be able to cross that one off. “It’s been a struggle for a couple of months now trying to get work. I’m hoping that this opportunity here will land me a job to alleviate the fear of financial insecurity. I’m waiting on that to leave me,” Arcangeletti said.

Pens ready to come back, finish Bears Hynes: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Called a series for a reasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

GAME 4 WBS Penguins at Hershey Bears 7 p.m. today Radio: 102.3-FM

By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

Considering that the WilkesBarre/Scranton Penguins have now lost 11 of the 12 playoff games theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played at the Giant Center, they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too worried about facing the Bears in Hershey tonight for Game 4. The Penguins took the first two games of the playoff series at home, but allowed Hershey to get back into it with a 4-3 overtime win Wednesday. While a Penguins win wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve

given them a sweep in the best-offive series, head coach John Hynes wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really expecting such a scenario to play out against the rival Bears. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called a series for a reason. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very difficult to get sweeps,â&#x20AC;? he said after Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a part of what the playoffs are. We knew they were going to play well and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a very good team.â&#x20AC;? Rather than view Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loss as a letdown, Hynes said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the process that his team has

to go through on their postseason path. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do anything in the playoffs, you have to be able to come back,â&#x20AC;? Hynes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to have a short term memory. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take some lessons from the game, assess and fix it, and come back with a stronger performance (tonight).â&#x20AC;? Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that much different from the one that gave the Penguinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wins in the first JOHN C. WHITEHEAD/THE PATRIOT-NEWS

Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck speaks to reporters after he was selected as the first pick overall by the Indianapolis Colts in the first round of the NFL football draft at Radio City Music Hall on Thursday in New York.

Stanford QB and Robert Griffin III were top picks By BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Six weeks after saying goodbye to Peyton Manning, the Indianapolis Colts handed Andrew Luck a blue and white jersey and the daunting task of leading a rebuilding team as its quarterback for the next decade. Luck couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have chosen a tougher act to follow, but many believe he is the most NFL-ready passer to enter the league since Manning went No. 1 overall in 1998. All Manning did was win an

unprecedented four MVP awards and a Super Bowl for Indy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really replace a guy like that,â&#x20AC;? Luck said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. You just try to do the best you can. Obviously, he was my hero growing up.â&#x20AC;? The Stanford quarterback was told by the Colts last week that Commissioner Roger Goodell would announce his name first Thursday night. He got the nod over Baylor QB Robert Griffin III, the Heisman Trophy who was taken second overall by the Washington Red-

Then he did, congratulating Luck while the crowd chanted â&#x20AC;&#x153;RG3, RG3.â&#x20AC;? Luckleftthestageandslappedhands with some fans in Colts shirts and headed to the interview room.

New York Mets Kirk Nieuwenhuis, center, and Scott Hairston celebrate after Nieuwenhuis hit the game-winning single as during the ninth inning of a baseball game Thursday at Citi Field in New York.

Mets’ comebacke completes sweep NEW YORK — Justin Turner drew a bases-loaded walk in a sensational 13-pitch at-bat and Kirk Niewenhuis hit an RBI single with two outs in the ninth inning as the Mets rallied past Heath Bell and Miami 3-2 Thursday, the Marlins’ fifth straight loss. After the game, the Mets said starter Mike Pelfrey has a partial tear of a ligament in his right elbow and most likely will have season-ending Tommy John surgery. Pitching for the first time in a week, and working in a steady drizzle, Bell (0-3) couldn’t find the plate. The All-Star closer walked four and threw a whopping 46 pitches. The Mets trailed 2-1 when David Wright drew a leadoff walk in the ninth. One-out passes to Ike Davis and Josh Thole loaded the bases for Turner, a pinch hitter. Turner fell behind in the count 0-2 and later fouled off seven pitches before his walk made it 2-all. After a forceout

at the plate, Niewenhuis hit a one-hopper off the right-field wall. Before Niewenhuis’ hit the Mets were 0 for 16 with two walks when batting with the bases loaded this season. Giants 6, Reds 5

CINCINNATI — Angel Pagan hit a three-run homer in the ninth inning, lifting the San Francisco Giants to a win over the Cincinnati Reds. Joaquin Arias led off the ninth against Cincinnati closer Sean Marshall (0-2) with a walk, and Ryan Theriot followed with a single. After pinch-hitter Brett Pill struck out, Pagan lofted a 1-2 pitch 386 feet into the left field seats to snap the Giants’ losing streak in Cincinnati at seven games. Javier Lopez (2-0) allowed two hits but no runs in the eighth to earn the win. Santiago Casilla struck out the side in the ninth for his second save in two opportunities.

AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Allen’s pinch-hit HR lifts Tampa over L.A. The Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Brandon Allen hit a two-run, pinch-hit homer in the ninth inning to lift the Tampa Bay Rays over the Los Angeles Angels 4-3 on Thursday. Albert Pujols went 1 for 4, ending his hitless streak at 21 at-bats when the Angels’ slugger rolled a grounder up the middle to beat a three-man defensive shift. He was thrown out attempting to stretch the single into a double. Pujols’ hitless streak was the longest of his career, surpassing a 0-for-18 stretch from Aug. 29-Sept. 4, 2010. Pujols, with 445 homers, has not gone deep in 19 games this season, a span of 76 at-bats. Dating to Sept. 22, Pujols has not hit a home run in 105 atbats, tying his longest regularseason drought from April 23-May 23, 2011. Allen, recently acquired off waivers from Oakland, homered off closer Jordan Walden (0-1) after B.J. Upton had a one-out single. Brandon Gomes (1-0) worked a 1-2-3 ninth, helping the Rays win their fifth straight game. Mariners 5, Tigers 4

DETROIT — Chone Figgins hit a tiebreaking double in the seventh inning that was misjudged by right fielder Brennan Boesch, and Seattle completed a three-game sweep of Detroit. Figgins’ drive to right-center scored Brendan Ryan, who reached on a two-out walk from Pick Porcello (1-2). Former Tiger Charlie Furbush (1-1) got the win with a perfect inning of work. Justin Smoak hit a three-run homer and Miguel Olivo also

connected for the Mariners, who took a 4-0 lead in the fourth before the Tigers tied it. Figgins was 3 for 4 with a run. Miguel Cabrera hit his sixth homer for Detroit, which fell to 10-9 after a 9-3 start. Porcello gave up five runs and seven hits in 6 2-3 innings. Royals 4, Indians 2

CLEVELAND — Luis Mendoza pitched into the sixth inning and Kansas City’s bullpen made a lead stand up in the win over Cleveland. Jeff Francoeur had a goahead single in a three-run fifth for the Royals, who won consecutive games for only the second time this season. Mendoza (1-2) was pulled with the bases loaded and no outs in the sixth, but the Indians scored only one run on Travis Hafner’s sacrifice fly. Relievers Tim Collins, Aaron Crow and Jonathan Broxton held Cleveland in check the last four innings. Broxton got his second save. Josh Tomlin (1-2) allowed four runs in 4 2-3 innings. Orioles 5, Blue Jays 2

BALTIMORE — Adam Jones led off the eighth inning with a tiebreaking homer and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Toronto Blue Jays, completing a three-game sweep with their fourth straight victory. Jones ripped the first pitch from Casey Janssen (1-1) into the first row of the left-field stands, barely eluding the leap of Eric Thames. It was his sixth homer of the season. Darren Oliver replaced Janssen after Jones’ home run and allowed Matt Wieters’ single before Chris Davis hit a tworun homer to right-center.

Crawford has sprained ligament N O T E S The Associated Press

CHICAGO — Carl Crawford has a sprained ligament in his throwing elbow and the Boston Red Sox left fielder will remain sidelined for a while. The team released a statement Thursday night saying Crawford’s diagnosis was made by the Red Sox medical staff and confirmed by Dr. James Andrews. Crawford received a Platelet Rich Plasma injection and will be shut down from baseball activity “during the initial phase of his treatment.” The club did not announce a timetable for Crawford’s return, but he is expected to miss at least a few months. The Red Sox were already short-handed in the outfield because of an injury to All-Star center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury, who finished second in the voting for AL MVP last season. Ellsbury is expected to be out until June because of a right shoulder injury sustained against Tampa Bay on April 13. Boston acquired outfielder Marlon Byrd from the Chicago Cubs on Saturday to help fill the void. Byrd hit just .070 (3 for 43) with Chicago, but collected his fifth hit in four games for the Red Sox on Thursday night against the White Sox. Crawford was largely viewed as a disappointment last year when he hit .255 with 11 homers, 56 RBIs and 18 stolen bases in his first season with Boston after signing a $142 million, seven-year contract as a free agent. Over the previous eight seasons, the 30-year-old Crawford hit above .300 five times for Tampa Bay, leading the American League in stolen bases four times. In his last season before coming to Boston, he batted .307 with a career-high 19 homers, drove in 90 runs and stole 47 bases. Crawford also was shut down during spring training after experiencing inflammation that stemmed from offseason surgery on his left wrist. He remained at the team’s training complex in Florida after the club broke camp and participated in extended spring training games. Pelfrey likely to have elbow surgery NEW YORK — Mets starter Mike Pelfrey has a partial tear in his right elbow and is “99 percent” certain he will have reconstructive Tommy John surgery that will sideline him until next year. The team made the announcement about its upuntil-now durable pitcher shortly after New York beat the Miami Marlins 3-2 Thursday. “Obviously, it’s frustrating,” Pelfrey said. “I’ve never been hurt in my life.” Pelfrey is 0-0 with a 2.29 ERA after three starts. He was a big part of the Mets’ rotation the past four years, especially after ace Johan Santana needed shoulder surgery and missed the entire 2011 season. “Everything was working,” Mets manager Terry Collins said. “To have this happen is a true shame.” Added fellow starter Jonathon Niese: “It’s a sad day.” The injury could end Pelfrey’s career with the Mets, who selected him ninth overall in the 2005 amateur draft. The 28-year-old right-hander is making $5,687,500 this year and the team may decide not to tender him a contract for 2013, especially since he is likely to miss a significant chunk of the season while rehabbing. The recovery time for Tommy John surgery is typically 12-18 months. If the Mets want to keep Pelfrey under their control, in December they would have to offer him at least $4.55 million for next year.

KINGSTON — Already well out in front of the WVC Division I baseball standings, Wyoming Valley West is making its case for a deep run in the postseason. The Spartans are blessed with strong pitching, a point that was underscored on Thursday as Matt Zielen threw a no-hitter in a dramatic 1-0 walk-off win over Crestwood at Spartan Stadium. Mike Leonard’s RBI single with two outs in the bottom of the seventh snapped the scoreless tie and put Zielen into the record books. Zielen struck out six and walked three. It was the second no-hitter in league play this season, joining Coughlin’s Josh Featherman, who also blanked Crestwood. Valley West teammate Tommy Alexander tossed a onehitter last week. But the no-no was in doubt into the final frame as Crestwood starter Shane Casey was also shutting down the Spartans (8-1), holding them to one hit through six in a scoreless tie. Joe Pechulis led off the bottom of the seventh with a single and a pinch runner took second after Alexander was hit by a pitch. Nick Hogan reached on a fielder’s choice with an out at second. Crestwood (3-5) nearly escaped the jam as the Comets picked off the runner at third. But Hogan stole second and scored the game’s only run on Leonard’s hit to shallow center. Casey struck out seven and walked just one to finish with a complete-game three-hitter. Crestwood

Holy Redeemer 3, Tunkhannock 2 (8 inn.) The Royals tied things up in the top of the seventh and then pushed across a run in the top of the eighth to stun Tunkhannock. Tigers pitchers Zach Saylor and Rich Condeelis held Redeemer to just three hits, but RBIs from Joel Peterlin, Will Cavanaugh (double) and Dalton Ell put the Royals (3-7) in front.

LUCK Continued from Page 1B

Browns moved up just one spot, from fourth to third, to ensure getting running back Trent Richardson of national champion Alabama. Minnesota received picks in the fourth, fifth and seventh rounds and still was in position to get one of the elite prospects in this draft. Like Griffin, Richardson was treated with lusty cheers from the crowd. Unlike Griffin, he had less trouble placing the Cleveland hat over his impressive dreads. Minnesota then took Southern California offensive tackle Matt Kalil, whom the Vikings were expected to take at No. 3 anyway. Luck’s good fortune put him in a similar position to Stanford predecessors Jim Plunkett, who won two Super Bowls for the Raiders, and John Elway, who led Denver to two NFL titles. He is the fourth consecutive quarterback chosen first and 12th in the last 15 years, dating back to Manning. Elway now runs the Broncos and recently signed Manning as a free agent after Manning missed all of last season following neck surgery. Indianapolis was the only team in the first seven picks to stay put. After Minnesota took Kalil, Jacksonville jumped up two spots, trading with Florida neighbor Tampa Bay to get Oklahoma State’s Justin Blackmon, the top receiver in this crop. “It just goes to show you that anything can happen,” Blackmon said, referring to the Jaguars going after him. St. Louis must have liked dealing down because the Rams did it again, trading with Dallas, which was14th overall. The Cowboys selected LSU’s Morris Claiborne, the top cornerback, adding him to free agent signing Brandon Carr and shoring up what was a Swiss cheese secondary.

PSU’s Still remains on board By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

Devon Still has a new bit of motivation. The Penn State All-American has made it no secret that he pays attention to all that is said and written about him – praise and criticism alike. He also wasn’t shy about his goal of being a first-round selection in the NFL draft. A stellar senior season had the defensive tackle in position to accomplish it. But a late slip down teams’ draft boards saw Still drop out of the first round on Thursday. Voted the Big Ten’s defensive player of the year in 2011, Still will have to wait until today to find out where he will play next season, likely going at some point in the second round. Still, who received an invitation to attend the draft in New York, had to watch as three other defensive tackles were selected ahead of him in the first round. He was one of six players in attendance who was not selected on Thursday. New England, a potential landing spot for Still as a 3-4 defensive end, opted to go with Syracuse’s Chandler Jones with 21st pick. Denver, another team looking for help up front on defense, traded out of the first round. After dominating for the Nittany Lions in September and October, Still was hampered by injuries down the stretch. He played his final collegiate game, the TicketCity Bowl against Houston, with turf toe that lingered into his preparation for the draft. Regardless, Still rated highly coming out of the combine, earning a grade of 89.0 out of 100, a first-round projection and an “immediate starter” label. Still was one of seven Penn

State seniors invited to the NFL combine this winter, behind only Alabama, LSU and Wisconsin. Five others were rated as “draftable players” and will also wait through today’s second and third rounds with the final four rounds on Saturday. Here are five other Lions who might hear their names called this weekend.

CB D’Anton Lynn Combine grade: 57.0 A three-year starter at corner for Penn State, Lynn may not have the speed required to keep up in man coverage at the NFL level. A team looking for a safety in the final rounds may select him to play there instead. Lynn does, however, have good instincts and took a big leap forward late in his career despite battling a serious concussion and a calf injury. It also doesn’t hurt to have a foot in the door, as Lynn’s father Anthony is a veteran assistant coach with the New York Jets. G Johnnie Troutman Combine grade: 54.5 Known for years as the strongest player on Penn State’s roster, Troutman didn’t disappoint at the combine with an impressive 31 reps on the bench press. Better known as a solid run blocker than a pass protector, the Ohio native could be snagged by a run-first team. Unfortunately for Troutman, the NFL is increasingly a passfirst league, which could hurt his stock. As a matter of ritual, he would start every season in Joe Paterno’s doghouse, typically having to get his weight down and fight to reclaim a starting guard spot. DE Jack Crawford Combine grade: 53.7

Of all of the Penn State senior prospects, Crawford’s stock has shot up the most in the past month. It’s a familiar story for Lions fans – teams are intrigued by Crawford’s athleticism and raw talent. The London native has only six-plus years of organized football under his belt. Crawford shouldn’t be hampered by the ongoing investigation into drugs found last month in his former on-campus apartment, as he has not lived there since last semester.

WR Derek Moye Combine grade: 53.5 One of the program’s most prolific receivers, Moye had something of a disappointing senior campaign because of a midseason foot injury and the Lions’ revolving door at quarterback. But his size and body control alone could lead to a team taking a flier on him. Moye still possesses a slight frame which would likely be a concern going up against bigger, more aggressive defensive backs at the next level. CB Chaz Powell Combine grade: 52.0 Powell’s best hope is to catch on for a team looking for a return man. His top end speed isn’t quite what teams are looking for but his results on kick returns speak for themselves. Linebacker Nate Stupar also got an invite to the combine, receiving a “free agent” grade of 46.5 but has been listed on a few seven-round mock drafts. Other draft-eligible Lions are safety Drew Astorino, running back Stephfon Green, tackle Chima Okoli, guard DeOn’tae Pannell, running back Joe Suhey, safety Nick Sukay and tight end Andrew Szczerba.

He’s going to get an opportunity.” The IronPigs found plenty of chances to cross the plate against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre pitching. Mike Fontenot and Brown used back-to-back doubles off SWB Yankees starter Ramon Ortiz to break a 2-2 tie in the third inning, the first two of four IronPigs doubles on the night.Overbeck -- who finished with three hits -- rocked his sixth double of the season in the seventh inning, joining Brown at the top of the team’s doubles list, and scored ahead of a booming home run to dead center field by Kratz that powered the IronPigs to a 6-2 advantage. Lehigh Valley starter Dave Bush and the IronPigs bullpen made it stand up. After being tagged for runs in the first two innings, Bush settled down to retire 12 of the final 15 batters he faced before departing after the sixth inning and after throwing 90 pitches.

enth-seeded Washington Capitals. The Rangers hadn’t hosted a Game 7 since their Stanley Cup victory over Vancouver in 1994, but they stayed perfect at home in deciding games — winning their fourth. New York is 4-5 overall in Game 7, and the Senators dropped to 0-5. Lundqvist withstood tons of pressure from the Senators, who spent most of the closing 5 minutes in the Rangers’ end. The win wasn’t secure until Sergei Gonchar tripped Carl Hagelin as he skated toward the empty net with 36.2 seconds remaining. Craig Anderson was nearly as good in the Ottawa net, making 27 saves. New York rallied from a 3-2 series deficit for just the second time, building off the momentum of its 3-2 victory in Ottawa on Monday night in Game 6. Just like in that one, when the Rangers scored three goals in the second period, New York used the middle frame to take over. While waiting for their big guns — Marian Gaborik and Brad Richards — to spark the offense, a pair of defensemen stepped up to get the Rangers going. Rookie Chris Kreider, whose first NHL goal was the winner Monday, forced a turnover and got the puck into the Ottawa end. Ryan Callahan nudged it ahead to Derek Stepan, who sent a pass from the right circle to the left circle to Staal for his first goal of the

two games. Hynes admitted his team could’ve moved their feet a little faster in the first period, but they did get going later in the game. The Penguins also outshot the Bears for the third straight game and, until the overtime goal, had yet to allow the Hershey power play to get on the board in the series. And while Hershey did lead a game for the first time in the series, the Penguins were able to take those leads away on two occasions in Game 3. “We didn’t put a full 60 minutes together, but we’re OK with how we finished the game off and battled back,” winger Eric Tangradi said. “We’re still confident.” And it’s unlikely that confidence will waiver if Hershey gets another lead in tonight’s contest or even if they manage to force a Game 5, which would be played in Wilkes-Barre on Saturday. “We might be in worse situa-

tered seven hits while improving his season record to 2-2. The Yankees, playing as the “home team” in a season on the road while their home of PNC Field undergoes reconstruction, touched him up early. Red-hot Dewayne Wise launched the first strike, with a first-inning homer over the right field wall. Then Kevin Russo began the second inning with a single to start his three-hit night, and later scored when Colin Curtis’ ground out boosted the SWB Yankees into a 2-0 lead. Everything changed when the IronPigs batted around in the third inning, though. Derrick Mitchell reached on an error, Tuffy Gosewisch was hit by a pitch and a run-scoring single from Andres Blanco cut Scranton/Wilkes-Barre’s lead to 2-1. It quickly disappeared after that. Scott Podsednik lifted a sacrifice fly to tie the game, Brwon untied it by following Fontenot’s double with a two-run double of his own to give the IronPigs a 4-2 lead. “A key hit there,” Sandberg said. The SWB Yankees never recovered, although they tried to scramble back late. Brandon Laird beat out an infield single in the eighth inning, then rode home when Russo ripped his second double of the game to pull Scranton/WilkesBarre within 6-3. After Phillies star bullpen prospect Phillipe Aumont came on in relief, he uncorked a wild pitch that brought Russo home with Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre’s fourth run. series 4:46 into the second. Staal, limited to 46 regular-season games because of the lingering effects of a concussion sustained last season, thrust his hands up in delight when his shot beat Anderson. Staal had only two goals in the regular season. It didn’t take all that long for Madison Square Garden to erupt in cheers again for another blueliner. Rangers forward Brandon Prust had the puck knocked off his stick, but teammate Brandon Dubinsky was there to get it and smack it into the slot to Girardi, who wound up for a hard slap shot just a few feet from the crease and slammed it past Anderson at 9:04. Like Staal, Girardi isn’t known for great offensive prowess. He had five goals while playing in all 82 regular-season games, but had scored only once in the previous 44 — including the first six of this series. Just when the nervous towelwaving fans began to relax and feel confident that the Rangers would survive and move on to the second round, Alfredsson gave the Senators a big boost and brought back the tension. Ottawa went on its second power play when Michael Del Zotto was called for cross-checking nemesis Chris Neil in front of the net. Alfredsson, who missed three games in the series after an elbow from Hagelin in Game 2 gave him a concussion, made New York pay. Alfredsson took a pass above the left circle from Chris Phillips and one-timed a shot past Lundqvist with 8:26 left in the second to bring the Senators back within a goal. tions that we’re in now. It’s something where you might have to put together five good games if you need to and just go to war,” Tangradi said. “We never want to get too high or too low in a game. To be able to stick with the plan, it shows we have confidence in what we do out there. If we do that for 60 minutes, we think we’ll win.” The Penguins stayed in Hershey to practice Thursday. Hynes said the day was for rest and recovery but there are a few areas that will be discussed. Goaltending could be one of those areas. In the first two games of the series, Brad Thiessen allowed three goals on 36 shots. In Game 3 he gave up four goals while facing 22 shots. Through the first three games, Thiessen has a goals against average of 2.30 and a .870 save percentage. “I’m not sure,” Hynes said when asked if goaltending was an area that needed to be discussed. “I think now is a time we have to debrief on the game. We’ll take a look at it, assess some things and figure it out from there.”

X Games star ready for debut

Travis Pastrana is guaranteed a spot in tonight’s NASCAR Nationwide series race. The Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va. — Travis Pastrana insists he’s not in this on a lark. The X Games and motocross star is set to make his Nationwide Series debut tonight at Richmond International Raceway. Pastrana was supposed to make his debut last summer at Indianapolis, but he broke his right ankle two days before. “It’s been since that race ... I’ve been thinking about getting in here and starting the Nationwide and seeing what’s going on,” he said Friday at RIR, where he was going to run in a K&N Series race Thursday night. “It has been a long road of, ‘Hey, how you going to do? When you going to race?’ ... We’re going to go out here and I finally get a chance to have some fun tomorrow. “I’m really pumped.” Pastrana, the winner of 11 X Games gold medals, has no illusions of instant success in NASCAR, admitting one of his big-

Pastrana

gest fears is making a green-flag pit stop, which would be the first of his career. Accordingly, he’s starting with mod-

est goals. “A goal for me for this first race, a goal that would be very, very difficult to reach, would be to stay on the lead lap, and that’s where we’re coming in, that’s where we’re starting,” Pastrana said. “Even if we don’t, that’s the goal for the next weekend. “I’ve got to make every lap of these races. I’ve got to get as much experience as I can.” Pastrana’s schedule includes seven races, with his next stop in two weeks at Darlington. Wherever he turns up, other drivers are inclined to be welcoming. “He’s going to be a welcome sight to the Nationwide Series,” Denny Hamlin said. “I think he’s kind of a breath of fresh air type guy. He’s outgoing. He’s obviously not afraid to take chances and I know personally through talking with him that he’s been waiting

to run for a long time and just he’s been fighting to get his leg good enough to where he could do it.” Jimmie Johnson said it might take Pastrana time to adapt to racing on four wheels, but that he already brings something to the sport. “He’s an amazing guy with a huge fan base, and it’s going to be good for NASCAR,” Johnson said. And good for Pastrana, especially if he can show that he belongs. “As a racer, I’ve always felt like a racer,” Pastrana said. “I know I’ve gone to ‘Nitro Circus’ and done X-Games and everything, which is a show and you have to be able to have fun with it, but I figured you know what, I’m going to go out, I’m going to try my hardest and there’s going to be a lot of people that understand what you’re doing and there’s going to be a lot of people who don’t,” he said. “It looks like fun and games on the outside, but everyone that has ever been to the top of any sport knows how much work it takes to get there, and I’m willing to put in that work, and it’s not going to be overnight.”

Nadal, Murray reach Barcelona quarters The Associated Press

BARCELONA, Spain — Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray cruised into the Barcelona Open quarterfinals with straightset victories on Thursday. Nadal broke Robert Farah of Colombia in the first game on his way to a 6-2, 6-3 victory for his 31st straight win at the tournament. Nadal set up a quarterfinal match with fifth-seeded Janko Tipsarevic after the Serbian beat Frederico Gil 6-2, 6-2. “It may sound stupid but against players like him you have to go for victory, if you look for a fight you’ve already lost,” Tipsarevic said. “Rafa is playing like he always does on clay, the best, but I’ll go out there looking to win

and see what happens.” Nadal beat Tipsarevic 6-1, 6-0, 6-2 in their previous meeting, which came in the Davis Cup three years ago. Murray made quick work of another Colombian in a 6-1, 6-2 win over Santiago Giraldo, the fourth-ranked Briton serving up nine aces in a quick victory. Murray will play Milos Raonic next after the 11th-seeded Canadian got past Nicolas Almagro 6-3, 6-3. Also, third-seed David Ferrer broke Albert Montanes five times to topple the fellow Spaniard 6-0, 6-2, while 2010 winner Fernando Verdasco defeated Kevin Anderson of South Africa 6-4, 6-4.

NBA ROUNDUP

Parity reigning in Stanley Cup playoffs By JOHN MARSHALL AP Sports Writer

EDITOR’S NOTE: At press time, the Florida Panthers-New Jersey Devils game was tied at 2-2 in the third period. GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Phoenix Coyotes roused a dormant fan base with an energetic season-ending burst that carried into the playoffs. Lunch-pail likable and brilliantly resilient, they have made hockey cool in the desert again and given the NHL playoffs a distinctive new vibe by reaching the second round for the first time in a quarter century. And they’re not alone. After years of the same handful of teams competing for the Cup, Lord Stanley’s sterling mug has some new pursuers. Red Wings, Canucks, Blackhawks, Bruins — they’re all gone. In their place, still in the chase, are Coyotes, Predators, Kings and Blues.

The Devils’ Adam Henrique (14) and Peter Harrold defend against the Panthers’ Stephen Weiss during the first period of Game in Sunrise, Fla., Wednesday.

Parity has taken over in the NHL playoffs, raising the possibility that the Stanley Cup could end up in a place like Nashville or Glendale, Ariz. “You look at who’s out: Detroit, San Jose and on and on,” Coyotes general manager Don Maloney

said. “And look at Chicago. That’s a team that could easily be playing in the finals. That’s how tight things are.” Prior to the 2004-05 lockout, the NHL had what felt like an inevitable march toward the end. From the ‘90s forward, teams

like Pittsburgh, Detroit, New Jersey and Colorado took turns trading the Cup, combining for nine titles in a 13-year span. Before that was the Great One’s reign in Edmonton, the New York Islanders’ dominance and the Montreal monster that seemed to exist since the creation of the NHL. Tampa Bay broke up the monopoly in 2004, the year before the lockout, and the change continued after the players returned and the salary cap was put in place, leveling the rink so small-market teams had a chance. Since the lockout, there have been six different champions, though there still were plenty of intriguing matchups: a pair of Detroit-Pittsburgh finals, Chicago’s drought-ending victory over the similarly long-suffering Flyers and last year’s don’t-change-the-channel matchup between Boston and Vancouver. This year’s Stanley Cup finals could be Florida against Nashville.

Bobcats fall to Knicks, set mark for futility

The Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte Bobcats couldn’t even beat a Knicks team resting most of its starters, finishing with the worst winning percentage in NBA history after a 10484 loss on Thursday night. J.R. Smith scored 22 points for the Knicks, who pulled away in the second half to clinch the Eastern Conference’s No. 7 seed and a first-round playoff matchup against No. 2 Miami beginning Saturday. Gerald Henderson had 21 points for the Bobcats, whose 23rd consecutive loss left them with a winning percentage of .106 (7-59) in the lockout-shortened season. The record was set 39 years ago, when the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers finished 9-73 (.110) in a full regular season. Grizzlies 88, Magic 76 MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Marc Gasol scored 22 points, Rudy Gay added 20 and the Memphis Grizzlies claimed the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference playoffs with a win over the short-handed Orlando Magic. O.J. Mayo had 15 points and Zach Randolph, returning to the starting lineup, finished with 13 points and 12 rebounds for Memphis, which won its sixth straight and 11th in 13 games. Raptors 98, Nets 67 TORONTO — Ben Uzoh had 12 points, a career-high 12 assists and 11 rebounds for his first career tripledouble, and the Toronto Raptors routed New Jersey, a loss that slightly improves the Nets’ chances in the NBA draft lottery. Uzoh’s triple-double was the first by a Toronto player since Alvin Williams did it against Atlanta on March 23, 2001. Jazz 96, Trail Blazers 94 SALT LAKE CITY — Rookie Alec Burks scored 18 points and NBA Slam Dunk champ Jeremy Evans led a 10-0 fourth-quarter run as the playoff-bound Utah Jazz beat the Portland Trail Blazers. Utah finished the season on a five-game winning streak and will face topseeded San Antonio in a first-round Western Conference matchup starting Sunday. Bulls 107, Cavaliers 75 CHICAGO — John Lucas III scored a career-high 25 points, Joakim Noah had 13 points and 13 rebounds, and the Chicago Bulls clinched the top overall seed in the NBA playoffs with a victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. With the No. 1 seed in the

East already in hand and the playoffs beginning on Saturday, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau took no chances in the regular-season finale. He rested Derrick Rose, Luol Deng and Kyle Korver. Rockets 84, Hornets 77 HOUSTON — Chase Budinger scored a seasonhigh 27 points and Marcus Morris hit the go-ahead 3-pointer to lift the Houston Rockets to a victory over the New Orleans Hornets in the season finale for both teams. Nuggets 131, Timberwolves 102 MINNEAPOLIS — JaVale McGee scored 19 points to help the Denver Nuggets lock down the sixth seed in the Western Conference playoffs with a victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Arron Afflalo scored 18 points and Danilo Gallinari had 17 points for the Nuggets, who won their fourth straight game and eighth in their last 10 as they surge into the postseason. Hawks 106, Mavericks 89 ATLANTA — Josh Smith scored 23 points and the Atlanta Hawks clinched home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs, racing to a 23-point lead in the opening quarter on the way to a victory over the Dallas Mavericks in the regular-season finale. Celtics 87, Bucks 74 BOSTON — Paul Pierce scored all 12 of his points in the first half despite missing most of it with a sprained toe and Rajon Rondo had 15 assists as the Boston Celtics closed the regular season with a win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Pistons 108, 76ers 86 AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Ben Gordon scored 26 points, including eight 3-pointers, to help the Detroit Pistons rout the shorthanded Philadelphia 76ers in the season finale. Philadelphia (35-31) entered the game with a mathematical chance at the Eastern Conference’s seventh seed, but didn’t make much of an effort. Elton Brand, Andre Iguodala, Thaddeus Young and Lou Williams all sat out the game in order to rest for Saturday’s postseason opener against top-seeded Chicago. Wizards 104, Heat 70 WASHINGTON — Playing without their Big Three, the Miami Heat suffered their worst defeat of 2011-2012 with a loss to the Washington Wizards in the regular-season finale.

Men’s wages still struggling to recover

B R I E F

Comcast rates rise May 1

The rates for Comcast cable television service will go up starting Tuesday. “While we’ve worked hard to hold down price adjustments, the average customer bill will increase by 3.8 percent beginning May 1 because of the impact of higher programming costs and increased operating expenses,” said Bob Grove, a Comcast spokesman. The increases will not be uniform; for example the cost of limited basic service will rise 9 percent while Economy Plus internet service will remain the same. The popular Xfinity triple play package will go up $5 per month. Grove said the majority of customers will not be affected because they are receiving promotional pricing.

WASHINGTON — Men continue to take a bigger hit in their paychecks than women because of lingering effects of the Great Recession, according to a study by the Conference Board. Average wages for women remain lower than those for their male counterparts, by nearly 20 percent. But men’s wages have been much slower to rebound from the effects of the recession, which had its most severe impact on male-dominated industri-

grew an average of about 3 percent annually from 1998-2008. But from 2008-2010, men’s wages stayed constant while women’s wages grew about 1 percent a year, the study said. There was no such gender gap in the last period of low-wage growth, from 2002-2004. The study also found that there was less wage growth for younger and low-skilled workers than for older and high-skilled workers. The slowdown in wage growth will continue to have a negative impact on the economy, the study said.

der has suffered more in the down economy. The Conference Board study didn’t break down job losses by gender. But it said a reason for the difference in wage growth is that the recession’s effects were felt hardest in sectors such as construction and housing, where jobs are largely held by men. Consequently, those industries have a large supply of excess workers, keeping male wage growth low. Wages for men and women each

es, such as construction, the study found. Although the recession technically ended in 2009, men’s wage growth had rebounded to half the average rate of the previous decade by last year. Meanwhile, the growth in wages for women had almost fully recovered, the study said. The findings came as the Obama administration has sparred with the campaign of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney in recent weeks about which gen-

Bank settles overdraft suit for $137.5M

NATURAL GAS BOOM

Air Products targets China

Air Products said Thursday it had opened a new office in Xi’an High Tech Zone, Shaanxi Province, Western China. The new office will lead Air Products’ growth in Shaanxi Province and other areas to meet growing demand for industrial gases from expanding industries including energy, chemicals, electronics, new materials and fabrications. Air Products has been operating in China since 1987 and was one of the first multinational industrial gas corporations to invest in the country.

By THOMAS OLSON The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

The parent of Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania agreed to a $137.5 million settlement of a class-action lawsuit Wednesday alleging the bank manipulated debit transactions to maximize overdraft fees consumers paid the bank, according to a Miami law firm. The settlement agreed to by Citizens Financial Group involves an estimated 1 million customers in Pennsylvania and other states who were allegedly overcharged for debit and automated teller machine transactions between 2003 and 2010, said attorney Robert Gilbert, a partner at Grossman Roth in Miami. The settlement needs to be approved by a federal judge in Miami. The lawsuit against Citizens is part of a larger class-action case filed against 30 different banks, including Pittsburghbased PNC Bank. The lawsuit, which is pending in the Miami court, claims those banks engaged in similar practices. PNC spokesman Fred Solomon said the bank does not comment on litigation. According to the lawsuits, the 30 banks systematically manipulated the order that transactions were presented to the bank for payment, such that the largest ones always came first. That meant the customer would incur an overdraft fee sooner than necessary. Other banks named in the lawsuit include Citibank, Wells Fargo and US Bank. Bank of America reached a $410 million settlement of the case in May, and JPMorgan Chase reached a $110 million preliminary settlement in February. The nation’s financial institutions made more than $10 billion in overdraft fees a year before new rules took effect, according to the Center for Responsible Lending.

Jobless claims steady

The number of people seeking U.S. unemployment benefits remained stuck near a three-month high last week, a sign that job gains will likely remain modest. The report disappointed economists, who had forecast a decline in unemployment applications. Even so, most analysts think employers will add about 175,000 jobs this month. That would be more than in March but less than the robust job growth achieved during the winter.

WASHINGTON — The Sierra Club said Thursday it will try to block an energy company’s plan to export liquefied natural gas to find new markets for the drilling boom that has flooded the MidAtlantic with natural gas. Virginia-based Dominion Resources Inc. is seeking to export 1 billion cubic feet per day through a terminal it owns in Maryland. A previous legal settlement dating to the 1970s gives the Sierra Club the ability to reject any significant changes to the purpose or footprint of the existing natural gas terminal in Cove Point, Md., 60 miles southeast of Washington. The environmental group says the export project could result in major

The dispute over the Maryland plant comes as federal regulators have approved the first large-scale natural gas export terminal in the United States in Cameron Parish, La.

Another cold wave is bearing down on us this morning, and with gusty northwesterly winds, temperatures this afternoon will struggle just to reach 50. At least, we'll have some sunshine and skies will turn clear tonight. Some cloudiness will show tomorrow as an area of rain passes by just to our south later in the day. The northern edge of the rain could reach I-80 and once again our temperatures will barely reach 50. Expect freezing temperatures Sunday morning, then a beautiful, sunny afternoon. A warming trend will start Monday. - Tom Clark

FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 2012

ÂŠ2012 Porsche Cars North America, Inc. Porsche recommends seat belt usage and observance of all traffic laws at all times.

History can repeat itself. It can also top itself. It is more than the next 911. It is an articulation, from the ground up, of our vision for the future of the sports car. As evidenced by even more power from even less fuel. 350 immensely powerful horses from a 3.4 liter engine in the Carrera. A longer wheelbase for added stability. And a new elevated center console that reinforces our focus on the driver. Proving once again that despite over 60 years of making history, it's making history. And it all starts with a test drive.

The next Porsche 911. Forever the sports car.

Wyoming Valley Motors Route 11, 126 Narrows Rd. Larksville PA 18651 (570) 288-7411 www.wyoming-valley.porschedealer.com
