WILKES-BARRE – Nearly 100 city residents on Thursday took the first step toward making Wilkes-Barre a better, safer place for children, teenagers and everyone else to live: They got involved. The residents attended the first in a series of five town hall meetings that are part of the new grassroots community initiative called the “Building Bridges” campaign, which was sparked by the shooting death of 14-year-old Tyler Winstead in

April. “For quite some time, we have longed, desired to make this city a better place,” the Rev. Shawn Walker, pastor of First Baptist Church in Wilkes-Barre, told the group, which was assembled at tables in the Dodson Elementary School cafeteria. Community leaders “really want to make this place a better place to live and work. But it seems that up to this point, we were never able to gather up enough strength or unity,” Walker said. But, he said, Tyler’s death was “a cata-

Feds look to take bite out of food stamp fraud About $750 million a year is lost by selling benefit cards and reapplying, authorities say.

By SAM HANANEL Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Food stamp recipients are ripping off the government for millions of dollars by illegally selling theirbenefitcardsforcash—sometimesevenintheopen,on eBay or Craigslist — and then asking the government for replacement cards. TheAgricultureDepartmentwantstocurbthepracticeby giving states more power to investigate people who repeatedly claim to lose their benefit cards.

WYOMING – Herbert Hall lived in harmony near the Wyoming Valley Airport for three decades, but an increasing number of low-flying aircraft over his neighborhood the last few years prompted him to complain to Luzerne County Council. Hall, who lives on Pettebone Street in Wyoming, told council members at their Tuesday meeting and in a follow-up letter that he and his family worry about loud planes flying over the neighborhood at a “frighteningly low altitude.” Some pilots turn away from the residential area toward the Susquehanna River, but an increasing number do not, he said. “From our perspective, untoward pilot behavior has intensified over the past three to four years,” Hall told council. The county owns the Wyoming airport, which was established in 1929butcontractswithValleyAviation to run the facility. County officials promised to address the matter. Valley Aviation President James Scrobola said pilots are following traditional takeoff and landing patterns, but residents may notice a

W-B Area rejects tax-raising plan Board rejects preliminary budget, then votes for plan with no increase. By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – In an unusual twist to what, for most school boards, is often a formality, the Wilkes-Barre Area School Board unanimously rejected a preliminary budget that called for a 2.4 percent property tax increase and use of $2.8 million from the fund balance, then voted 6-3 in favor of a preliminary budget with no tax increase and a bigger drain on the fund balance. Budget and Finance Committee Chairman Robert Corcoran presaged the rejection of a budget resolution that he himself was about to present when he said he had a feeling it would be rejected. Before the vote, Business Manager Leonard Przywara’s PowerPoint presentation highlighted the same budget savings and decisions he had discussed at the last budget committee meeting last week. The initial preliminary budget called for savings of about $800,000 by not replacing retirees, several other savings measures, and use of $495,000 from a debt service fund and $2.6 million from a general fund balance of nearly $7.9 million. Przywara noted the budget process had began with a shortfall of about $5.18 million, and that all the savings and fund balance use brought the shortfall down to about $966,000. The preliminary budget – which can be and often is changed before the final budget is approved – filled that final gap by raising taxes 2.4 percent, the maximum allowed by the state without voter approval or a state exemption.

Przywara also noted state law requires a preliminary budget be passed by May 31, but said consequences would likely be little more than a slap on the wrist. He noted the more important requirement is to make the preliminary budget available for public inspection at least20daysbeforeafinalbudgetis voted on. SuperintendentJeffNameythen interjected. “I am confused as to why anyone would vote no on a tentative budget. You have 30 days to work on it,” he said. Rejecting the preliminary budget, he said, “doesn’t accomplish anything.” Namey and Przywara also said there is high probability that of a “significant increase in revenue” will develop as the state works on its own final budget. Galella said he voted against the preliminary budget because Corcoran seemed unhappy with it, and he trusted the committee chairman’s opinion. Corcoran said he voted no because he felt too many members had problems with the budget, and he would vote no unless the yes votes were unanimous. At that point, James Susek said he will not vote for any tax increase, even in a preliminary budget, and proposed using more of the fund balance to eliminate the tax increase. After more debate, the resolution was amended to do just that, and passed 6-3, with Corcoran, Christine Katsock and Latinski (via proxy through Galella) voting no.

Methane source probed

he Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection said T Friday it is continuing to investigate

the source or sources of methane gas detected in three private water wells in Leroy Township, Bradford County, in coordination with Chesapeake Energy, which has a natural gas well approximately one-half mile from the impacted wells. All three wells have been vented and the homes have had methane monitoring alarms installed by Chesapeake, according to DEP. A mobile water treatment unit has been installed at one residence, a temporary water supply tank has been provided at another residence and bottled water is being provided to two additional residences. Chesapeake’s Morse well pad contains two wells and is about one-half mile from the impacted private wells. DEP said staff from its Oil and Gas Program collected isotopic gas samples at both of Morse wells. Gas bubbling continues in a wetland and two small tributaries to Towanda Creek, the department said Friday. DEP said staff member monitored the methane-impacted wells and checked the homes for the presence of methane gas on Wednesday. Chesapeake’s consultant continues to assess other private wells in close proximity to the Morse well pad and the methane-impacted private wells.

LOCAL Crestwood’s plan includes cuts The $33.2 million budget would slice jobs, programs, but not raise taxes. By STEVEN FONDO Times Leader Correspondent

PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER

Crestwood freshman Olivia Termini speaks to the school board Thursday about proposed cuts to programs next year.

WRIGHT TWP. -- The Crestwood School Board voted overwhelmingly before a packed house on Thursday to adopt a tentative 2012-2013 budget that includes faculty furloughs, program cuts and extra-curricular activity curtailments. A number of people including students, parents and teachers came out to voice their opposition to the proposed cuts.

The $33.2 million budget proposal contains no tax increase and includes a number of faculty furloughs, particularly at the elementary level. According to Superintendent Dave McLaughlin-Smith, elementary and middle-school band and chorus programs will either be curtailed or significantly altered, as well as middle school languages and the elementary/ middle school nurse. “We looked at every area before making these particular cuts,” said McLaughlin-Smith. “Everything was on the table and unfortunately, some difficult decisions had to be made.” Crestwood teacher and teach-

An attorney for Anthony Lupas said he was seeking a conference with a federal judge Thursday to determine whether it’s necessary to confine Lupas to a hospital for a psychiatric examination that was ordered by the court to be performed. William Ruzzo said he wants to seek the opinion Richard Fischbein, the psychiatrist hired to evaluate Lupas, regarding whether the examination can be performed on an outpatient basis. U.S. District Judge Robert Mariani on Wednesday granted a defense request that Lupas be examined to determine his competency to stand trial on charges he bilked investors out of money through a fraudulent investment scheme. Mariani appointed Fischbein and directed that Lupas be confined to a facility, not to exceed 30 days, pending the completion of the examination. Lupas, 77, has been on house arrest since he was first charged in March with stealing money from clients who invested in an allegedly fraudulent trust fund. Ruzzo said it was in Mariani’s discretion whether to confine Lupas for the examination. He said he wants to consult with Fischbein and the judge to determine if its necessary.

SCRANTON – The owners of The Times Leader have filed a federal lawsuit against the media company’s former publisher and chief executive officer, Richard Connor, alleging he has failed to repay more than $250,000 in loans the company made to him. The suit, filed Thursday by Wilkes-Barre Publishing LLC, alleges Connor “engaged in a pattern” of conduct that caused the newspaper to transfer cash for his personal use and to pay Connor personal credit card charges he incurred. According to the lawsuit: The Times Leader and Connor “reached an understanding” that the funds paid to him were loans that would need to be repaid. Connor signed a written statement acknowledging the amount that was owed according to audits performed in 2008 and 2010, the suit says. Connor resigned as a CEO and editor and publisher of The Times Leader in October 2011. The newspaper was purchased by Versa Capital Management LLC in March, which acquired all assets of the newspaper, including the debt owed to the company by Connor. The lawsuit says the company was purchased for $5 million and the assumption of assumed liabilities. No value is included for those liabilities. (The purchase information was one of several portions of the lawsuit redacted in document posted online. The redactions were removed by The Times Leader using a standard software program.) The suit says Connor has refused demands to repay $250,123.50 in credit card charges and advances that were made to him, and that he has challenged the validity of the documents he signed that reflected the amount that was owed. But an attorney for Connor questioned whether his client is owed money. In an email Rick Finberg of the Bennett Law Firm in Portland, Maine, said neither the firm nor Connor could comment about specific allegations due to not having seen a copy of the suit.

Alleged balloon bank robber charged Bank inquiry Girard John Kalinay, 55, is charged with robbing three banks since November.

By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

SHICKSHINNY – A Harveys Lake man having money problems robbed three banks in the area since November, two with a pellet gun and the other with a balloon filled with ammonia, according to charges filed. Girard John Kalinay, 55, of Pine Street, was taken from the Luzerne County Correctional Facility by authorities Thursday to be charged with robbing the Luzerne National Bank in Dallas Township on Nov. 22, a First Liberty Bank and Trust in Noxen, Wyoming County, on Jan. 27, and a branch of PNC Bank in Mocanaqua on May 4. Kalinay appeared at his arraignment before District Judge John Hasay wearing a neck brace for injuries he suffered when he crashed his motorcycle while fleeing the Mocanaqua PNC Bank. He was charged by state police at Wyoming and Dallas Township police with three counts each of burglary, robbery and theft, and remanded to the county prison for lack of $100,000 bail. Investigators allege Kalinay

stole a 1999 Dodge Dakota from a Dallas Township used car dealer on Nov. 18 that he used in the Luzerne National Bank robbery, and stole a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee from a Wilkes-Barre Township used car dealer he used in the First Liberty Bank robbery. Kalinay stole license plates from other vehicles and placed the plates on the stolen cars, which he abandoned in parking lots at Misericordia University, where he had his wife’s Cadillac parked, authorities said. According to the criminal complaint: Kalinay entered Luzerne National Bank, propping open the front door with a tree branch and carrying a shopping bag with a balloon. He told the bank manager the balloon was filled with acid and tossed it at her. The manager ran out of the bank telling customers to call 911. Kalinay picked up the balloon and threw it at the entrance, where it popped. Township police said the balloon was filled with ammonia. Authorities said Kalinay on Jan. 27 robbed the First Liberty Bank, propping open the front door with a tree branch. After he threatened tellers with what turned out to be a pellet gun, Kalinay fled, initially by trying a door that was a closet, the crimi-

nal complaint says. Before robbing the Mocanaqua PNC Bank, authorities allege, Kalinay stole a 1999 Dodge Dakota from another Dallas Township used car dealer on April 27. He abandoned the truck when he struck a deer on state Route 29 on May 4. Kalinay walked home and drove his motorcycle to work at a chemical manufacturing plant near Tamaqua. He left work early on May 4 and waited in the parking lot of the Mocanaqua PNC Bank until customers left.

Kalinay fled the bank on a motorcycle that he crashed on state Route 239 in Conyngham, according to the criminal complaint. Authorities said Kalinay admitted to robbing the banks, and he said he bought the pellet gun at a Tamaqua area store when he realized using a balloon was not a good way to rob a bank, the criminal complaint says. Kalinay said he was having money troubles and used most of the money to pay bills and a vacation in Florida.

Woman charged with trying to take cop’s gun Tiffany Ann Horner, 33, of Tiffany Ann Horner of Dupont Main Street, was charged with faces numerous charges after three counts of reckless endangerment, two counts of aggravatan incident on May 11. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

DUPONT – A woman was arraigned Thursday in WilkesBarre Central Court on charges she attempted to disarm a police officer investigating a disturbance on Main Street.

ed assault, and one count each of simple assault, terroristic threats, resisting arrest and disarming a law enforcement officer. She was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $10,000 bail. According to the criminal complaint: Police investigated a disturbance outside Bobby O’s Restau-

rant on Main Street on May 11. Horner was located in her residence, where she taunted police, removed her clothes and defecated on the floor. Police said Horner was stunned by a Taser when she tried to throw feces at an officer. Paramedics were called to assist in removing the Taser contacts from Horner’s body, but were unable to because of Horner being uncooperative. She was carried out of her residence because she refused to

walk. Once outside, Horner grabbed an officer’s service weapon. She was then secured to a litter and taken to Wilkes-Barre General Hospital, where she spat at an officer and hospital employees in the emergency room, the criminal complaint says. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for May 30 before District Judge Andrew Barilla in Pittston.

An attorney for a shareholder who is suing First National Community Bancorp claims a committee the bank formed to investigate allegations against board members is flawed because it includes a person who serves at the will of five of the directors who are named as defendants in the suit. Attorney Joseph Solfanelli said Thursday there in a clear conflict of interest to permit Steve Tokach, FNCB’s chief executive officer, to sit on the twomember committee because Tokach could be fired at any moment by the very board members he is tasked with investigating. Solfanelli, of the law firm O’Malley and Langan in Scranton, filed suit against FNCB on Thursday. The suit, filed in Lackawanna County Court, alleges the negligence of board members led to significant losses that caused the bank’s stock to plummet from a high of $20 per share three years ago to roughly $3 per share as of Monday. The lawsuit comes two months after Solfanelli filed a court action against the bank that sought to force it to disclose records related to “insider” loans it made to board members and their families. Solfanelli represents Lori Gray, a shareholder who is seeking to recoup loses she says she incurred because of poor decisions made by the bank’s directors that led its net worth to decline from $119 million in 2009

to roughly $32 million today. The suit contends those loses are partly due to $105.7 million in insider loans board members made to themselves and family members, of which $8.9 million is in default. Another $7.5 million of insider loans are deemed to be at high risk of default. FNCB had been under the control of Dunmore businessman Louis DeNaples until last week, when he was forced to resign from the board by federal regulators. The suit names DeNaples, his brother, Dominic, and current board members Michael Cestone Jr., Joseph Coccia, Joseph Gentile and John Moses defendants, as well as former board members William Conaboy, Michael Conahan and former CEO David Lombardi. The bank announced in January it had appointed Tokach and newly appointed board member Tom Malone to a committee to investigate whether the bank should file suit against any of its current or former directors. Solfanelli said under state civil law, Gray ordinarily would be required to wait until that committee issues its report before she could proceed with her suit. He contends she should be able to bypass that step, however, because the committee is intrinsically flawed, calling into question its ability to be impartial. “There are seven members on the board. Five of the seven are defendants. The CEO can be terminated by the majority of the board. It’s difficult to see how a CEO could qualify as a disinterested party” under those circumstances, Solfanelli said. Tokach did not immediately return a message seeking comment on the suit.

Student loan plan nixed

he Senate has rejected Democratic and Republican plans for averting a doubling of interest rates on federal college loans for 7.4 million students. The election-season standoff means efforts to resolve the dispute will be delayed until next month. Beginning July 1, interest rates for subsidized Stafford loans for undergraduates would double to 6.8 percent without congressional action. Preventing that increase has been a priority for President Barack Obama. Senators voted 62-34 against the GOP proposal and 51-43 for the Democratic bill on Thursday, with each falling well-shy of the 60 votes needed for approval of the $6 billion measures.

BAGHDAD

Iran nukes talks advance

Iran and world powers have agreed to meet in Moscow next month for another round of negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear program. European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton says both sides have agreed to continue the discussions on June 18-19 in hopes of a breakthrough on international concerns about the Islamic Republic’s ability to build atomic weapons. Thursday’s announcement caps two days of negotiations in Baghdad where at times it appeared Tehran would withdraw from the talks in frustration over the West’s refusal so far to scale back tough economic sanctions on Iran. DALLAS, TEXAS

Laundry poisoning on rise

Poison control centers across the United States are reporting a rise in cases of children swallowing laundry detergent packets. The tiny, brightly colored packets are marketed as a way to get rid of the mess that comes with bulky bottles and boxes. But doctors say children can confuse the packets with candy. Dr. Michael Beuhler of the Carolinas Poison Center says nearly 250 exposures have been reported nationwide this year — a figure that is steadily rising. Texas has reported 71 exposures. Dallas toxicologist Dr. Kurt Kleinschmidt says patients who swallow the packets often show more serious symptoms than traditional detergent incidents. He says he considers the packets more dangerous. A spokesman for Tide, which introduced its Pods in March, says all cleaning products need to be handled carefully. SANDUSKY, OHIO

Jarred fetus settlement

An Ohio hospital has reached a proposed settlement of about $1 million with women who say an employee stuffed miscarried or stillborn fetuses into jars for years instead of medically disposing of them. Firelands Community Hospital, now known as Firelands Regional Medical Center, reached the agreement after years of litigation. The women filed a class-action lawsuit complaining about how the Sandusky hospital disposed of the fetuses. Court records show a former Firelands employee placed 88 fetuses into jars between 1988 and 1996. She worked with a pathologist to use them for teaching purposes. She told the hospital she kept the fetuses in jars instead of disposing of them for personal religious reasons.

NEW YORK — A New Jersey man who confessed to choking a 6-year-old New York City boy to death in 1979 was arrested on a murder charge on Thursday, police said, the first arrest in a case that helped give rise to the nation’s missing-children movement. Pedro Hernandez, 51, of Maple Shade, N.J., was charged with the slaying of Etan Patz, who vanished on his way to school in his lower Manhattan neighborhood, police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said. Hernandez, who had worked at a convenience store near Etan’s home, confessed after hours of police questioning, Kelly

said. Kelly said Hernandez told police he lured the boy to the convenience store with the promise of a soda, then took him into the basement and choked him. “He was remorseful, Patz and I think the detectivesthoughtthatitwasafeelingofreliefon his part,” Kelly said. “We believe that this is the individual responsible for the crime.” Detectives are typically barraged with hoaxes, false leads and possible sightings around the anniversary of Etan’s disappearance, which became National Missing Children’s Day by presidential proclamation in 1983. The focus on Hernandez came after other leads arose and stalled, at one point taking investigators as far as Israel tracking reported sightings of the boy. For most of the past decade, the investi-

gation focused on Jose Ramos, a convicted child molester now in prison in Pennsylvania. He had been dating Etan’s baby sitter. In 2000, authorities dug up Ramos’ former basement in lower Manhattan, but nothing turned up. Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. announced in 2010 that his office was renewing the investigation into the case. A few weeks ago, investigators excavated another basement, down the street from the Patz apartment. The search found no human remains. Hernandez, who moved to New Jersey shortly after the boy vanished, was picked up there late Wednesday and was questioned Thursday at the Manhattan district attorney’s office. He had been tied to the case in the past, and investigators recently received a phone call with a new tip, according to the law enforcement official. The official gave no details on the tip.

Count starts in Egypt’s first competitive presidential election

Brotherhood claims lead By HAMZA HENDAWI and MAGGIE MICHAEL Associated Press

CAIRO — The Muslim Brotherhood said Thursday that its candidate was leading in exit polls from Egypt’s landmark presidential election, as official counting began after two days of voting to choose a successor to ousted leader Hosni Mubarak. In stations around the country, workers cracked open ballot boxes and started the count after polls closed Thursday night, in Egypt’s first truly competitive presidential election. There are five prominent candidates in a field of 13, but none is expected to win outright in the first round. A run-off between the two leading contenders would be held June 16-17. A Brotherhood spokesman said the group’s candidate, Mohammed Morsi, was the leader in exit polls conducted by Brotherhood campaign workers nationwide. Morsi’s spokesman, Murad Mohammed Ali, declined to give specific percentages. “The Egyptian people always amaze us,” said Ali. “This is above our expectations.” The reliability of the Brotherhood’s polls could not be confirmed. Regional television channels, citing their own exit polls, also placed Morsi as the top finisher, with rivals Ahmed Shafiq and Hamdeen Sabahi vying for second post. Shafiq, a former air force commander, was Mubarak’s last prime minister and was himself forced from his post by protests soon after his former boss. Opponents brand him as a “feloul” or “remnant” of the old, autocratic regime, but he has drawn support from Egyptians who crave stability or fear Islamists. Sabahi is a leftist who had been a dark horse but gained steadily in opinion polls over the past week, attracting Egyptians who want neither an Islamist or a former regime figure. The Brotherhood is hoping that a victory in the presidential race will seal its political rise since its longtime opponent Mubarak was ousted on Feb. 11, 2011 in a wave of protests.

would get arms to Syria

The effort would vet members of the Free Syrian Army and other groups fighting regime. By MATTHEW LEE Associated Press

WASHINGTON — As one diplomatic effort after another fails to end more than a year of brutal violence in Syria, the Obama administration is preparing a plan that would essentially give U.S. nods of approval to arms transfers from Arab nations to some Syrian opposition fighters. The effort, U.S. officials told The Associated Press, would vet members of the Free Syrian Army and other groups to determine whether they are suitable recipients of munitions to fight the Assad government and to ensure that weapons don’t wind up in the hands of al-Qaida-linked terrorists or other extremist groups such as Hezbollah that could target Israel. The plan, which has not yet been finalized, reflects U.S. frustration that none of the previous efforts — including diplomatic rhetoric from the United Nations and the multinational Friends of Syria group, and special envoy Kofi Annan’s plan for a cease-fire — has even begun to nudge President Bashar al-Assad from power. The vetting would be the first tiny step the U.S. has made toward ensuring that the Syrian opposition uses the weapons to fight Assad and not to turn it into a full sectarian conflict. While some intelligence analysts worry that there may be no suitable recipients of lethal aid in the Syria conflict, the vetting plan has arisen as the least objectionable idea in a complicated situation. U.S. officials, most of whom spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the subject, stressed that the United States, which is already providing non-lethal aid to Syria’s political opposition, is not supplying military assistance to Assad’s foes. The administration’s position remains that adding more weapons to the conflict is a bad idea and will only fan the fire of instability. “We don’t think that adding fuel to this fire is the right way to go,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said. “Our decision is to support the civilian opposition in nonlethal ways,” she said. “There are other countries who have made other decisions. That’s their sovereign decision to make. We’ve made our decision.” But she added: “We are obviously consulting with various states about the decisions that we’ve made, that they’ve made.”

Reagan blood vial donated to late president’s foundation Unnamed collector takes it out of auction after foundation objects. By STEVE CHAWKINS Los Angeles Times (MCT)

VENTURA, Calif. — A vial that purportedly contains Ronald Reagan’s blood has been donated to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation after expressions of outrage over its pending sale by a British auction house.

The foundation, which threatened legal action over the sale, expressed relief Thursday. “We are grateful to the current custodian of the vial for this generous donation to the foundation ensuring President Reagan’s blood remains out of public hands,” said John Huebusch, the foundation’s executive director. The sale was to close Thursday, and bids on the PFC Auctions website had topped $30,000. The vial contained blood drawn from Reagan while he was at George Wash-

ington University Hospital after surviving an attempted assassination on March 30, 1981, according to the auction house. After it was tested, a woman who worked at a laboratory connected with the hospital was allowed by her supervisor to take the glass tube home. One of her grown children decided to sell it earlier this year. The seller approached the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, Calif., which urged a donation but declined to purchase it, according to a statement on the

Teen’s attorneys don’t want exam

Lawyers for Cody Lee wish to prevent second psychiatric evaluation. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Attorneys for a teen charged in the December 2009 shooting death of his great-grandfather asked a judge in court papers Thursday to prevent prosecutors from performing a second psychiatric examination on their client. Attorneys Peter Paul Olszewski, Melissa Scartelli and Charles Rado said prosecutors should not be allowed to request a sec-

ond examination because prosecutors have not specified why one is needed. Prosecutors say Cody Lee, who was then 16, shot and killed his 80-year-old great-grandfather, Herbert Lee, in Lake Township on Dec. 10, 2009. State police arrested Lee on Dec. 10, after he spent hours in the cold wearing minimal clothing. He allegedly made statements to investigators about the shooting before he was charged with criminal homicide. According to court papers, Lee was examined by a psychologist in February 2010. After a hearing least week, prosecutors made an oral and written motion to have another

psychiatric examination completed on Lee. County Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr. denied the oral request, and directed prosecutors to file court papers outlining their request. “The commonwealth’s motion fails to state with particularity the grounds for (its request) or any facts that support any grounds as to why a second psychiatric examination of the child defendant is necessary,” Lee’s attorneys wrote. The attorneys also say they were never presented with the written court documents, and they did eventually receive them from Sklarosky Jr.

Lee’s attorneys are trying to have their client’s case heard in juvenile court. A hearing on that request was moved from May 29 to July 9 at the request of prosecutors. In recent months, Sklarosky and Senior Judge Joseph Augello have made several rulings in the case, including that prosecutors cannot use a report by Dr. John O’Brien that cited statements Cody Lee made about the deadly shooting. Prosecutors said last week they intended on hiring a new psychiatrist to testify, but Sklarosky said it was not clear why there was such a delay in obtaining one.

Lawsuit over defender staffing gets OK to continue Chief Public Defender Flora says county isn’t properly funding his office. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A Luzerne County judge on Thursday denied the county’s motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Chief Public Defender Al Flora. In a one-page order, Senior Judge Joseph Augello said objections the county filed “lacked

merit.” The ruling means the county will now be required to file a response to the lawsuit. The American Civil Liberties Union filed suit against the county on Flora’s behalf in April. The suit alleges the county’s failure to properly fund his office has led to a severe staffing shortage that forced Flora to implement a policy in December that limits the types of cases his office will accept. County officials have since agreed to allow Flora to hire two attorneys whose positions were

included in the 2012 budget. The suit is continuing based on an additional four attorneys and other staff members Flora wishes to hire. The county’s attorney, John Dean, sought to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing Flora lacked standing to bring the suit because he was responsible for the problems in the office and had failed to take actions that might resolve those issues. Augello presided over a 10hour hearing on May 10 at which both sides argued their posi-

tions. His ruling Thursday did not include a written opinion explaining his reasoning for his decision. Dean said he was disappointed by the ruling. He said he needs to review the decision to determine whether the county will seek to appeal. In the interim, attorneys are set to meet next with attorney Joseph Van Jura, a former county judge who was appointed by the court as a mediator to attempt to resolve the matter.

Corbett looks to make top aide a judge; next stop state Senate By MARC LEVY Associated Press

HARRISBURG — Gov. Tom Corbett’s top aide is leaving his job as the first-term Republican battles criticism over his cost-cutting agenda and his ability to forge policy and broadcast a persuasive and strong public message. Corbett said Thursday he is nominating his chief of staff and longtime friend William Ward to fill a vacant seat on the Allegheny

County Common Pleas Court after 16 months in Harrisburg with Corbett. The governor held a brief meeting with Ward and other senior staff members Thursday afternoon to announce the change and declined to comment afterward. Ward, 60, a former state and federal prosecutor and colleague of Corbett’s, has had a longstanding goal of becoming a judge, Corbett said,andheishappytohelphisold

friend achieve it. Ward’s nomination will require confirmation by the state Senate, and he’ll remain onstaffasanadviseruntilthathappens, the administration said. Ward will be replaced by Corbett’s top legal adviser, Stephen Aichele, the former chairman of the Saul Ewing law firm and the husband of Corbett’s secretary of state, Carol Aichele. Corbett is battling Democrats and labor unions over his fiscal

agenda that is cutting aid to public schools, universities and the poor at the same time he is cutting business taxes. Many Republican lawmakers viewtheCorbettadministrationas politically clumsy and aloof, and the governor angered conservatives earlier this year when he leaned on the state GOP to endorse a relatively unknown candidatewholostbadlyinthecrowded U.S. Senate primary.

Husband, wife will stand trial on meth charges

Bobbie Jo and Richard Arnold “chemicals to make speed.” A bag and empty pseudoepheRogers IV requested a trial on drine packages were also found 27 charges each. near the group. Police said that in By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A husband and wife charged over their alleged roles in manufacturing and trafficking methamphetamine in Luzerne and Columbia counties will stand trial on several related charges in August. Bobbie Jo Rogers, 28, and Richard Arnold Rogers IV, 29, both of Hemlock Street, Coal Township, appeared in Luzerne County Court on Thursday where they requested a trial on 27 charges each, including an unrelated case in which a state Fish and Boat Commission officer observed the couple and several others making drugs in a plastic bottle along the Susquehanna River. According to court papers, on July 23, a Fish and Boat Commission officer was patrolling the river in Nescopeck Township and observed Richard Rogers and another man passing a plastic bottle back and forth between them. The officer also saw that Bobbie Jo Rogers was present. The officer said he overheard the men asking each other “Is it done yet?” When the officer approached him, Richard Rogers told him the bottle contained

the bag they found batteries, pseudoephedrine, camping fuel, coffee filters, drain cleaner, funnels, tubing, gloves and a number of other items police say are commonly used in manufacturing methamphetamine. The Rogers’ were two of several people charged in August in cases in which investigators dismantled 17 alleged meth labs. Investigators say there were eight organizations that worked independently to produce and provide enough methamphetamine for individuals within 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 methamphetamine, chemicals, medications and generators at the labs. Seventeen others charged in their alleged roles in the meth labs are awaiting trial in Luzerne County Court. One has pleaded guilty and has been sentenced, while another has pleaded guilty and is awaiting sentencing.

DeNaples wants out from Mount Airy casino The Associated Press

HARRISBURG — Area businessman Louis DeNaples says a financing agreement should allow him to cut his ties to a casino that he built, but lost control of after being charged with perjury. The state Gaming Control Board must act on DeNaples’ request to withdraw his gaming license and split ownership of the Mount Airy Casino Resort among his seven children.

Casino regulators wanted DeNaples to keep his license while he was the guarantor of the casino’s loans. But an agreement with J.P. Morgan Chase to reduce that debt from $271 million to $165 million means DeNaples is no longer the guarantor. DeNaples was charged with perjury in 2009 for allegedly lying to casino regulators. The charges were dropped with the condition he relinquish control of the casino.

Prison pay raises spark debate Union head takes issue with idea that arbitration awards may be ignored. By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Luzerne County Councilman Stephen A. Urban said the county’s 2012 tax hike provides grounds to reject prison union pay raises this year. Prison union head Tom Borum disagrees with the assertion raised by Urban at Tuesday’s county council meeting, saying the raises must be honored as part of a union contract awarded through binding arbitration. “If the county didn’t pay the raises, we’d file a grievance. I have little doubt we’d win,” Borum said. The 3 percent raises will cost between $400,000 and $500,000 this year, officials say. The arbitration pay rejection issue first surfaced in March 2010, when former county commissioners were faced with the prison arbitration award. Commissioners didn’t contest the entire package because county solicitor Vito DeLuca said they’d have to prove fraud or a serious conflict of interest to overthrow it and risk attorney fees and interest if they lost. Instead, commissioners implemented the first two years of the contract -- 2009 and 2010 -- but treated the remaining three years as “advisory.” Commissioners could argue the county didn’t have

to pay increases in later years if a tax hike was needed, DeLuca said. The solicitor warned the union might file a grievance and said refusal to pay was “new ground” and a “novel legal approach.” Borum said union officials vehemently disagreed with the county’s interpretation but took no action because the county never attempted to test it. The county’s 2010 budget raised taxes 15 percent, but commissioners already had factored the anticipated pay increases into the spending plan before the arbitration award was issued. Urban, who was commissioner at that time, said he urged thencommissioners Maryanne Petrilla and Tom Cooney to strip potential raises out of the budget, but they believed it would be irresponsible to ignore an expected expense. Commissioners voted at the end of 2010 to honor the arbitration award for 2011 because the 2011 budget did not increase taxes. Urban said commissioners did not vote to abide by the award for 2012 and believes council should vote on the matter. Council’s 2012 amended budget raised taxes 2 percent. Council Vice Chairwoman Linda McClosky Houck said she asked for a solicitor’s opinion when Urban raised the issue in February.

The project, which should be completed next month, will add about 130 parking spaces. By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

PITTSTON TWP. – Officials at the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport, having already saved more than $150,000 by rebidding a parking lot expansion project, have reduced the cost of the work even more by deciding to reconfigure the lot and opting to do some of the work in-house. The project that will add 130 parking spaces and should be complete next month is expected to cost $533,146. It originally had a dollar figure of $687,747, including the construction costs plus engineering, design and inspection work. But thanks to some changes in the project, the final dollar figure is much lower. The airport is responsible to pay for half the costs with the other half coming from Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. Airport engineer Steve Mykulyn said the way the bid and contract were put together enabled the airport to pick and choose which parts of the work to have low bidder Sproul Construction of

$40,000. The contract with Sproul will be reduced by $194,260, though the airport will spend about $25,000 to do some of the work itself. The additional savings are on top of the tens of thousands of dollars saved by the airport board’s decision last fall to reject all the bids received and rebid the project, sensing the bids came in much higher than they should have. Popple Construction of Laflin was the lone bidder the first time around and offered to do the work for $766,000. The board’s senses were right on as a few of the second batch of bids came in well below Popple’s original bid, including another bid from Popple for $689,692. The need for additional parking has been spurred by the Marcellus Shale natural gas drilling boom and the airport being the preferred choice of gas company employees flying back and forth from headquarters or their families.

Gone are new entrance and exits to the parking lot, which is being built as an expansion of what has been the parking area for airport employees. Instead, the existing egress and ingress points will be used. That will save the bulk of the money, but not all of it. Airport staff will be responsible for adding pavement markings and concrete walkways and the airport will purchase LED signs on its own at an additional savings of nearly $16,000. Drainage improvements, which were associated with the relocation of the entrance and exit, will also be removed from the project scope at an additional savings. Also, savings will be realized by not including a canopy over the exit area, instead using a smaller covering that will also save

Airport saves by altering parking plan

She said a county solicitor informed her acceptance of the 2012 raises was implied because commissioners never voted to reject them before they left office the end of 2011. McClosky Houck said commissioners should have acted on the matter or brought it to the attention of the incoming council to allow time for discussion and research before a precedent was set for paying the raises in 2012. Council Chairman Jim Bobeck, an attorney, said Thursday he does not believe the county has legal basis to ignore a binding arbitration award. The prison’s roughly 300 union workers also will receive 3 percent raises next year under the final year of the contract award. The prison has the right to binding arbitration because workers cannot strike. The former commissioners also took a similar stance on a binding arbitration contract for assistant district attorneys and public defenders, voting in March 2011 to accept pay raises for 2010 and 2011 while deeming the rest of the award “advisory only.” The union was awarded 3 percent raises in 2012 and 2013.

OTHER OPINION: CAMPAIGN ADS

Courts support voters, not secrecy

EDERAL COURTS struck two blows last week for more transparency in election campaigns. Voters should be pleased. A federal appeals panel in Washington declined to block a lower court ruling that requires tax-exempt organizations running election-related TV ads in federal contests to disclose their donors. And another federal appeals panel in Atlanta rejected a constitutional challenge to a 2010 Florida law that requires outside groups behind political ads or campaign mailers in state elections to register and disclose details about their contri-

butions and spending. If the public must put up with attack ads from special interest groups and individuals, then the ads’ sponsors ought to be revealed. We’re gratified that the two appeals panels ruled that the public is better served by more information, not less. If the rulings stand, voters will better know the identities of ad sponsors, and better assess the motives behind the ads. The public’s right to know should trump efforts to stretch the First Amendment to justify secrecy. The two appeals court rulings are a respite for an electorate tired of negative campaigning.

MS workers are usually the first to arrive on the scene of a car accident, a crime scene, a disaster or a fire. They never know what they will face when they arrive, and often their own lives are in danger when they do. They kneel down to render life-saving aid along busy highways, outside burning buildings and on crimeinfested streets. While they are usually the first on the scene, they are often the last to seek recognition. EMS workers do their jobs because they want to save lives, pure and simple. Their job, as their slogan says, is “more than a job; it’s a calling.” EMS Week highlights these local heroes in uniform, who usually operate behind the scenes, day after day, night after night, shift after shift, restoring heartbeats, stopping bleeding and transporting the sick and injured to the emergency health care they need. Their work too often goes unnoticed. Their presence, quick thinking and skilled actions frequently spell the difference between life and death. They come whenever and wherever they are needed, to face the unknown. So this week I urge you to join me in marking EMS Week, when we recognize the courage of every EMS worker, from dispatchers and educators to emergency room doctors and nurses. We issue a heartfelt “thank you” for the heroic acts they perform every time a 9-1-1 call comes in. We also salute their family members, who sacrifice their time and sense of security, along with the sacrifices of their loved one. Let us pray for the safety of our EMS workers and honor their sacrifices every time we hear a siren or see an ambulance en route to a tragedy. During EMS Week, let’s take added time to applaud our first responders and their families for being first-rate protectors and healers. State Sen. Lisa Baker Lehman Township

Reader chides Democrats over bank grandstanding

PMorgan Chase Bank lost $2 billion, and before anyone knew any of the facts we had Democratic senators calling for more regulations. Yes, the Democratic Senate – which has not passed a budget in three years – wants to make sure JPMorgan is doing its job. Well, it can rest easy; JPMorgan will make between $16 billion and $20 billion for the year. That is certainly better than the trillion-dollar deficit the federal government will have.

The Democratic Senate that has given us annual trillion-dollar deficits has the audacity to criticize the people at JPMorgan? How many billions of dollars were lost in the so-called Stimulus Act? More than $2 billion slipped by “sheriff” Joe Biden who was, according to the president, going to make sure every dime was accounted for. Any new regulations for Joe? Let’s have a little less grandstanding in front of the cameras, attacking businesses that create the jobs and wealth that you tax to pay for all your programs. The American people know how to do their jobs; they are wondering if the people serving in government have forgotten how to do theirs. A government should be worthy of its people, and right now it is not. We don’t need transformation. We need results. Bob McDougal Wilkes-Barre

Minister sounds caution over gay marriage switch

“

Do unto others as we would have them do unto us.” A pot head misreads this and thinks it means giving a joint to a friend. An alcoholic thinks it means getting drunk with a friend. A president who selectively picks verses from the Bible he agrees with and rejects the rest thinks it means changing the definition of marriage to cater to the homosexual community. Both Old and New Testaments of the Bible warn that homosexual behavior is sinful and will bring God’s judgment. The apostle Paul describes the behavior of male and female homosexuality in Romans I and calls it unnatural, immoral and destructive. You don’t love homosexuals by telling them they are OK. You love them by warning them of the dangers in this life and the next, and tell them there is hope to change. Those who tell their children and friends that they are fine as practicing homosexuals are the ones who truly hate them. For the male homosexual, the lifestyle means a shortened life by decades because of diseases. Most people know how AIDS became epidemic in the United States by transmission in the gay community. They usually don’t know our kids are told to have a hepatitis B vaccine because of the same

lifestyle abuse. Jesus raised the standard of sexuality in his day, not lowered it. He said even to lust after a woman who is not your wife is to commit adultery. The blatant media promotion of sexual fantasizing and all sexual immorality is clearly condemned by Jesus. Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky ought to use as his defense that he was born with the desire to sexually abuse children. He also could cite ancient societies that had sexual relations between men and boys as acceptable. Who knows if the president isn’t also evolving to believe that is true? Face it, the Bible is either the word of God and standard of truth when it comes to morality, or it should be banned as a hate crimes book because of its condemnation of homosexuality. Without the Bible we can decide our conduct by the latest opinion poll, the latest issue of “Psychology Today” or some all-wise government bureaucrat can tell us. On the contrary, sin is still sin no matter who says it is legal. The homosexual couples who have been married in several states are still living in sin. No legislator, judge or president can take the seat of authority to declare right and wrong. Only God has that authority. Rev. Glen Bayly Mifflinburg Alliance Church Mifflinburg

Family praises support of WB’s Triangle Club

express sincere appreciation for the Triangle Club and all of its members. My family and I have gone through some challenges with the premature birth of our son. He was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, presenting challenges both physically/ mentally and financially. Through a friend at work, my son was picked for an annual benefit that The Triangle Club (located at 77 E. Main St., Wilkes-Barre) holds for a family or child in need of help. Although I had not met most of the members at the club and the majority of members were not specifically aware of my son’s situation, they all came together and welcomed us to their family. The benefit was held in March, with members of various bands donating their time and talents. The benefit was overwhelmingly successful, and words cannot express my gratitude. With all of their selfless acts and efforts, we will now be able to have new therapies not covered by insurance and also have a customized walker made to help my son in his development. For a club to come together the way that it did, for someone its members do not know, and welcome us to their family has been a memory I will never forget. Joe Leggo Villanova

kemes’ shared sacrifice pay to play proposal for extracurricular and athletic activities failed. The increase would have meant a $36-per-year increase to district property holders. In response to direct questioning by Kane, Business Consultant Al Melone said the district was holding more than $700,000 in the surplus fund in anticipation of unforeseen expenses, which Kane claimed could be used immediately to salvage some of the curtailed programs and furloughed teachers. “The no-tax pledge that Corbett took said it all,” said Kane. “There are members on this board who hold that same belief.” The following staff and faculty were either suspended or non-renewed: Chantel Glynn, Kristen Johnson, Amy Bluhm, Mark Krokos, Samantha Parks, Alyssa Getz, Marie Shovlin, Amanda Zavacky and Jacob Wagner.

change because the facility is busier. “We are offering more to the public than people have ever had in the past,” Scrobola said, citing expanded pilot training programs and aircraft rentals. The boost helps local businesses but shouldn’t come at the expense of residents, Scrobola said. “We’re a community asset. We want to make sure we’re in good with the community,” Scrobola said. “Our number-one thing here is the safety of all involved – not only the pilots but also the community.” Hall said planes frequently fly several hundred feet over rooftops in his neighborhood, “literally inviting catastrophe.” He’s spoken to other residents who share his concern and said many are willing to sign a petition. He told the Federal Aviation Administration in a September letter residents are sometimes able to see the faces of pilots above their homes. “I’ve even waved my arms at a number of them, hoping they would recognize the danger and

cash. But USDA officials are also concerned about people selling or trading cards in the open market, including through websites. Last year, the department sent letters urging eBay and Craigslist to notify customers that it’s illegal to buy and sell food stamps. USDA officials followed up last month, saying they are still getting complaints that people are using the websites to illegally market food stamps. Both eBay and Craigslist have told the government they are actively reviewing their sites for illegal activity and would take down

Takeoffs are the most dangerous because the planes are at full throttle and fueled up, Hall said. Scrobola said the FAA monitors the facility to ensure compliance with regulations. Pilots try to gain altitude above homes and veer toward the river to minimize noise and disruption to residents, though they’re limited by wind and aircraft performance, he said. Hall also sees more vintage aircraft and aerobatic flights in the airspace above his neighborhood. He recently sent the FAA a videotape of a plane performing aerial maneuvers recorded through a window in his home. Scrobola said the private owners of three large, vintage aircraft use the airport, and the planes are certified by the FAA. Unusual aerial maneuvers aren’t for theatrics, he said. The facility started providing “upset training” for pilots to learn how to safely recover from emergency situations, he said. “That training may look like aerobatic because it’s not the normal flight pattern,” he said. Hall said he drove to the airport in April and approached a pilot

who continuously made loops above his neighborhood to ask him why he wasn’t using available air space away from homes. He said the pilot, who had a student passenger, blamed the wind and accused him of trying to ruin his business, advising Hall to move if he doesn’t like it. Scrobola said he wasn’t aware of that conversation, which was relayed in Hall’s letter to council, but said he will personally meet with any concerned residents to discuss solutions and airport operations. Valley Aviation made significant improvements to the facility

since it took over in January 2006, he said. “I’llbegladtotalktoanyoneand show them what’s going on here,” he said. Some taxpayers have suggested selling the airport over the years, but county officials have maintained it’s worth keeping for economic development and quality of life. The facility requires little county general fund subsidy because the state and federal government have funded most capital projects, officials say. The county also receives a portion of revenue from fuel sales at the facility.

lyst that started to tug on the heartstrings of this community in a way like I have never seen before. … People were asking two questions: What are you going to do and what can we do?” Walker said community leaders realized the response had to “meet the level of the tragedy. …We have to do the right thing. So, we approached the city.” Walker and the Rev. Michael Brewster, pastor of Mount Zion Baptist Church, which Tyler attended, met with Mayor Tom Leighton and his senior staff and much dialogue led to the creation of Building Bridges. “Why? Because we need to build bridges in this community – from the city administration to the public and from the public back to the city administration, but more and most importantly, we need to build bridges from you to me and from you to the next person, and to the next person, and to the next person. … We have opportunity to actually make a difference,” Walker said. He noted members of Tyler’s family attended the meeting. “They could have sat home on their couch … but instead they chose to come out and be a part of the solution,” he said. Leighton said the community faces diverse challenges that require innovative solutions. “Tonight, we start a dialogue that will lead to action and achieve results. We face many entrenched problems that the city, the school district and the people cannot resolve by themselves. But working together, there’s no problem that’s too hard, no hurdle too high, no obstacle that cannot be scaled,” he said.

W H AT ’ S N E X T The next four meetings will be May 31 at GAR High School, June 7 at Heights Elementary School, June 15 at Coughlin High School and June 19 at Meyers High School. Read an extended version of this story at timesleader.com.

Brewster gave a presentation on how the quality of life in Wilkes-Barre needs improvement. Based on surveys measuring happiness, Wilkes-Barre ranked 135th out of 190 cities, which scored the city an F. But most of those surveyed believe the community overall is safe and is getting better. “We want to make sure that Wilkes-Barre stays a place that is safe to raise a family and so we want to bring to your attention that we do have an opportunity to make a significant impact in the overall well-being,” he said. He pointed to two towns where residents formed action groups to improve their communities and, in the process, ended up lowering crime. He noted that the murder of a 13-year-old girl was the catalyst for change in one of those towns. City police officer Phil Myers gave a presentation on local crime, noting that theft accounts for 30 percent of it, and detailed prevention strategies. Then, attendees broke into small groups to give their thoughts and opinions on what are the top contributing factors to youth violence in WilkesBarre, which group facilitators wrote down. Then, they brainstormed possible local solutions. Carol Golden, Tyler’s grandmother, said she was encouraged by the attendance and participation and hopeful that positive change will be made in the community.

idents. Karen Ceppa Hirko questioned an agenda item dealing with a $28,200 change order for work Marx Sheet Metal and Mechanical to paint ductwork at the Intermodal Center. She was told the painting was missed in the scope of the overall project. During the public comment period she addressed council on what she described as its “heavy handed fashion” in treating peo-

ple who come before it. She presented each of the five council members with a copy of an Aug. 10, 2011 letter from the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania outlining the First Amendment rights of people who want to speak at the public meetings. She concluded her allotted five-minute comment period asking which council members planned to attend the upcoming

Pennsylvania League of Cities Annual Conference in Pittsburgh, whether they would fly or drive to it and if any decision has been made regarding the perdiem rates paid for meals. The Times Leader reported Sunday council members were given as much as $92.95 perdiems and did not have to provide receipts to account for the money. Council Chairman Mike Mer-

ritt said possibly by the next meeting there would be something prepared to “encourage receipts up to the allowed perdiem amount” and anything over the rate would not be included. Bob Kadluboski, a frequent critic of council and Mayor Tom Leighton tried to raise the perdiem issue too. Kadluboski was cut short after he called council member Bill Barrett “nothing

ads offering food stamp benefits for cash. The USDA also has warned Facebook and Twitter about the practice. South Dakota, Oklahoma, Washington, D.C., Minnesota and Washington state have the highest percentage of recipients seeking four or more replacement cards over a year. But USDA officials said that doesn’t necessarily indicate a high rate of fraud. All states are required by law to reissue lost or stolen cards to those who are eligible for benefits. Wyoming, Idaho, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Alabama have the lowest percentage of households requesting four or more cards in a 12-month period. In North Carolina, the state already issues warning letters to

people who request four replacement cards in a year, letting them know that officials are monitoring them closely. Dean Simpson, chief of economic family services for the North Carolina Division of Social Services, said the new rules would give her state even more of a boost in curbing food stamp fraud. “I think it would help with the trafficking and let individuals know they are being observed and watched,” said Simpson, who oversees the state’s distribution of food stamps. More than 46 million people receive food stamps, nearly half of them children. The average monthly benefit is $132 per person. Benefit cards work like debit cards, allowing users to swipe

them for food purchases at some 231,000 stores around the country that are authorized to take part in the food stamp program. Once a card is reported lost or stolen, it can be disabled immediately. But the USDA does not require photo identification, since several members of a family, including children, may use the cards at different times. Concannon stressed that the USDA wants to be sensitive to vulnerable people who may lose their cards for innocent reasons. While it may sound suspicious for someone to lose a card two or three times a year, food stamp recipients include many people who are homeless or have dementia or mental illness, he said. “Our concern is that in many in-

stances, it may point to a trafficking issue,” he said. Last year, about 850,000 people were investigated for possible food stamp fraud. About 2,000 stores were sanctioned for illegal conduct, and1,200 stores were permanently removed from the food stamp program. Large supermarkets are seldom involved in illegal activity, Concannon said. The vast majority of fraud is found in smaller shops and convenience stores. The USDA is currently developing tougher sanctions and penalties for retailers engaging in food stamp fraud. It is also taking steps to make sure that people disqualified from the program for illegal activity are not able to use it again in other states.

“We are generally aware that Wilkes-Barre Publishing claims that Mr. Connor owes the company money. Despite repeated requests that the company provide us with the detail to support the demand, the company’s lawyer refused to provide this information to us,” said the email. Although Connor and law firm are disappointed in the filing of the suit without first attempting to resolve the outstanding issues, the email said the legal proceeding will give them access to the information the publishing company has yet to provide. “We also will be seeking additional information to determine the extent to which either the current or former owners of the paper owe money to Mr. Connor and his wife,” said the email.

one who works here has another job,” Doug noted. The business wasn’t even supposed to be a drive-in. Such theaters were already in steep decline when Kim’s parents bought the Garden Theater in the mid1980s. When Kim and Doug took over about 20 years ago, the plan was to close the theater and use the land for another business, Doug said, with the theater remaining open for about a year before those plans were implemented.

What happened to change those intentions? People. “From day one when we got involved people really enjoyed the theater,” Doug said. “It was a family thing. You felt good when you saw them come.” So the other business never materialized, and the drive-in remained. “It’s not a business that anybody can sustain themselves in,” Doug said. “We do it because we literally enjoy it and the folks that work there enjoy working there,

and the families that come enjoy coming.” After the flood, when it was time to decide if reopening was worth it, those same sentiments tipped the scales. “We have Facebook, we have a website, and the kind remarks and comments we got wishing us well and saying they were willing to help, that honest to gosh made the difference.” Offers of help were mostly politely declined for insurance rea-

sons, but Doug had high praise for nearby fire companies that spent many hours helping remove all the flood mud – a concoction renowned for olfactory offense even in relatively small quantities in basements and backyards, so consider what it smelled like by the acre. Today at dusk (around 8:30 p.m.), with no real fanfare other than opening the gates an hour or so earlier, the Garden Drive-In will be reborn, with one screen

showing “Men in Black III” and “Ghost Rider II” while the other offers “Avengers” and Dark “Shadows.” “We think it is more userfriendly, it has a little different design, and I think there will be a noticeable difference to patrons,” Doug said. Anything specific they can look forward to? “I’m not going to reveal everything,” he said with a laugh. “They’ll have to come and see.”

A square deal

LeBron James adds 28 points as Miami takes Game 6 to reach conference finals. By PAUL NEWBERRY AP National Writer

INDIANAPOLIS — There was nothing soft about Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat. Wade scored 41 points, LeBron James chipped in 28 and the Heat finished off the Indiana Pacers, locking up a return trip to the Eastern Conference finals with a 105-93 victory in Game 6 on Thursday night. The Heat wrapped up the HEAT best-of-7 series and will face either Boston or Philadelphia in PACERS the next round starting in Miami on Monday. Of course, nothing less than an NBA title will make for a satisfying summer in South Beach. Two series down, two to go. The Heat rallied from an early 11-point deficit, riding the hot hand of Wade in the opening half. He scored 26 points by the break, tying Tim Hardaway’s16-year-old franchise record for most playoff points in the first two quarters. James hit consecutive baskets with just over a minute remaining to close it out. Next up, the Celtics or surprising 76ers. The Heat will get a much-needed chance to relax before worrying about the next opponent, which will be determined in a Game 7 at Boston on Saturday. David West led Indiana with 24 points and all five starters were in double figures. But that balance was overwhelmed by Wade and James. In a game of spurts, the decisive one came in the closing minutes of the third quarter, the Heat powering out their third straight impressive win after falling behind 2-1 in the series. The Pacers tied it at 66 on Darren Collison’s 3-pointer, but it was all Heat the rest of the period. They closed on a 13-3 run, capped by Mario Chalmers’ buzz-

HANOVER TWP. — Mickey Ferrence shuffled through the Lakeland lineup so quickly through the first four innings that the Chiefs went to their last resort. Bunting. The Hanover Area junior hurler managed to pass through a barrage of Lakeland bunts in a tumultuous fifth inning to propel the top-seeded Hawkeyes to an 8-4 victory HANOVER Thursday in the District 2 AREA Class 2A quarterfinals. The Hawkeyes will host No. 12 Holy Redeemer in the semifinals Tuesday. LAKELAND Lakeland’s strategy came after Ferrence yielded just two hits – both bunt singles -- through four. With a high, wet infield grass to work with, the Chiefs put the first three batters on with bunt singles before their big bats at the top of the lineup launched two balls deep into the outfield. It proved to be a four-run inning to cut Lakeland’s deficit to 5-4. “It wasn’t because of the grass,” Lakeland coach Larry Piccini said. “We bunted because we couldn’t hit (Ferrence).” Hanover Area’s ace finished with seven strikeouts in as many innings. Ferrence yielded seven hits – five of which were bunts or half swings – and four earned runs. “They got a couple of bunt hits toward the fifth inning and that threw him off a little bit,” Hanover Area coach Mike Zapotoski said. “He hasn’t thrown in a while, so he was a little bit rusty. For his performance, it was a little bit rusty.”

SCRANTON – There might not be a better way to celebrate a birthday than donning a gold medal. That was the case for Holy Redeemer’s Mike Vamos. One of the Royals’ senior captains turned 18 on Thursday and did just about everything on the court with five REDEEMER kills, three service points, one block,oneassistandonedigto help his team to its second WESTERN straight District 2 Class 2A WAYNE championship in a 25-13, 2522, 25-11 win over Western Wayne at Scranton High School. “This is fantastic. We have back-to-back district titles now and we’re looking forward to going to states,” said Vamos, who was carried off the court by his “Happy Birthday” singing teammatesafterthewin.“Weplayedagreatteam.We had a hard road coming here, but we battled through it and we got the gold.” Up next for the Royals is the Carter High School of Engineering and Science. Redeemer will play the District 12 No. 2 seed at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday at Dallas High School in the first round of the PIAA Championships with a berth in the PIAA Championships event at Penn State University on June1-2.

Segui throws ‘darts’ at Clemens perjury defense

Wyoming Area fights back, reaches semis

By JOSEPH WHITE AP Sports Writer

WASHINGTON — David Segui remembered “darts” but not dates. The former major leaguer testified for the prosecution Thursday in the Roger Clemens perjury trial, and he would have made a much better witness if he kept a better mental calendar. As it was, Segui was able to recall one specific moment that helped the government’s case: a telephone conversation he says he had with Clemens’ strength coach 11 years ago. “He mentioned that he had kept darts to get his wife off his back,” Segui said. With those words, Segui echoed the testimony of the sixweek-old trial’s key witness. Brian McNamee told the jury last week that he saved a needle and other materials from an alleged steroids injection of Clemens in 2001. McNamee testified he was trying to allay his wife’s fears he would take all the blame if the drug use was discovered. “He mentioned that the rela-

tionship between Brian and Roger had put stress on his married life. ... Coming and going ... leaving at the Segui drop of a hat to go train,” said Segui, recalling other parts of the conversation. Segui, who has acknowledged using performance-enhancing drugs during his15-year baseball career with seven teams, wasn’t allowed to say that “darts” means “needles.” The judge ruled that the jurors will have to make that assumption themselves — unless McNamee were to return to the stand to explain. Segui, who became friends with McNamee when they met in Toronto during the 1999 season, also wasn’t allowed to relate a second, similar “darts” conversation because he couldn’t remember when it happened. “You are to disregard the question,” the judge told the jurors, who had been ushered from the courtroom .

Wyoming Area softball players Alex Holtz, left, and Lexi Coolbaugh celebrate their team’s win over Crestwood on Thursday.

WEST PITTSTON – Trailing by a run to Crestwood early in Thursday’s District 2 Class 3A quarterfinal, Wyoming Area knew it had to respond and not allow the Comets’ Alyssa Davies to settle in with the lead. With one out in the bottom of the third, Wyoming Area’s Emily Wolfgang ripped an RBI double to tie the game before Alex Holtz and Serra Degnan followed with back-to-back RBI, paving the way for a 3-2 win at home for the Warriors. With the win, second-seeded Wyoming Area (10-4) plays at home today against third-seeded North Pocono (12-2) at 4:30 p.m. Crestwood (8-8), the seventh seed, concludes its season. “I think they came out a little nervous, maybe got in their own heads a bit,” Wyoming Area coach Stephanie Griffin said. “But we’ve been in games like that this season. I had confidence in them that they could keep fighting back.”

WYOMING AREA

CRESTWOOD

The Warriors’ runs came in the bottom half of what was arguably the only inning that Wyoming Area’s Holtz wasn’t in con-

trol. Summer Gavin got the inning started for Crestwood when she beat the throw from short for an infield single. Gavin then advanced third on two wild pitches before Melanie Snyder unloaded on a pitch from Holtz, driving the ball to the center-field fence for a double and a 1-0 lead. Snyder ended up stranded, however, after Holtz coaxed a pop up and ground out from the next two batters to end the inning. “I knew I had my defense behind me and they always play hard and they always do a good job when the ball is hit,” Holtz said. “We told each other to keep our heads up. We’re used to it, so, See SEMIS, Page 5B

The Philadelphia Phillies’ Ty Wigginton runs in to score on a single by teammate Mike Fontenot during the sixth inning of a game against the St. Louis Cardinals Thursday in St. Louis.

Phillies survive slugfest vs. Cards The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — The last time the Phillies played here, a squirrel had the run of the ballpark, Roy Oswalt could not hold a lead and the St. Louis Cardinals staved off postseason elimination on their way to one of the most improbable World Series title runs in baseball history. On this steamy Thursday night at Busch Stadium, a naked man played the role of the squirrel, streaking across the field and avoiding security for quite some time before the start of the seventh inning. Joe Blanton played the part of Oswalt, squandering a six-run lead without getting through the fifth inning. But the most unlikely story line was that the Phillies got into a slugfest with the highpowered Cardinals and walked away with a 10-9 victory that allowed them to even their record at 23-23. After the Cardinals fought back from a 6-0 deficit to even the score at 7-7 in the bottom of the fifth inning against Blanton, the Phillies answered with two runs in the sixth and another in the eighth, then nervously watched the bullpen barely protect the lead. Freddy Galvis contributed three of the Phillies’ 18 hits and three RBIs to raise his average to a season-high .250. His 22 RBIs are tied with Shane Victorino for third on the team. Galvis put the Phillies ahead to stay with a two-out RBI single off reliever Fernando Salas in the top of the sixth inning. Mike Fontenot followed with a pinchhit RBI single to make it 9-7 and Ty Wigginton, who also had three hits and knocked in two runs, contributed a solo home run in the eighth inning that proved to be necessary insurance. Padres 11, Mets 5

NEW YORK — Will Venable hit a pair of RBI doubles and Cameron Maybin had two runscoring singles as the San Diego Padres broke out the offense after a long rain delay and beat the New York Mets. Jesus Guzman hit a two-run double in a four-run third to help the Padres rebound from being swept in a three-game series in St. Louis. Everth Cabrera had a career-high four hits and Eric Stults (1-0) pitched five innings to earn his first win with San Diego. Reds 6, Braves 3

CINCINNATI — Rookie catcher Devin Mesoraco capped a series full of homers with his first career grand slam on Thursday night, leading the Cincinnati Reds to a victory over the Atlanta Braves. The Reds completed their

first four-game sweep of the Braves in Cincinnati since 1980 at Riverfront Stadium. They’ve won six straight, their longest winning streak since August 2010 when they started their push toward the NL Central title. The teams combined for 16 homers — 13 solo shots — accounting for 21 of the 24 runs in the series. Mesoraco connected off Kris Medlen, who relieved Randall Delgado (2-5) with the bases loaded in the sixth. Drew Stubbs added a solo shot for Cincinnati. Homer Bailey (3-3) gave up four hits in six innings, including Michael Bourn’s two-run homer. Bailey got back-to-back wins for the first time this season, coming off a victory in Yankee Stadium on Saturday. Giants 14, Marlins 7

MIAMI — Melky Cabrera had three hits and drove in four runs for the San Francisco Giants, who gave Ryan Vogelsong robust run support for a change to beat the Miami Marlins. Vogelsong (3-2) allowed three runs in 6 1-3 innings, which hiked his ERA to 2.50. The Giants had 22 runs in his previous seven starts. The Giants came into the game leading the majors in stranded runners, but went 7 for 17 with runners in scoring position. Their run total and 15 hits were both season highs. Angel Pagan had four RBIs, while Cabrera raised his average to .362. Giancarlo Stanton drove in three runs and hit another tape-measure home run for the Marlins. They began the night with the best record in the majors since May 1, but lost their second in a row. Anibal Sanchez (2-3) gave up five runs in 5 1-3 innings, his shortest and worst outing this year. Indians 2, Tigers 1

CLEVELAND — Justin Masterson matched Justin Verlander pitch for pitch for first his career win over Detroit, and the first-place Cleveland Indians did just enough to beat the reigning AL MVP to complete a three-game sweep of the underperforming Tigers. Shin-Soo Choo homered on the third pitch from Verlander (5-2) as the Indians won for the eighth time in 10 games and opened a six-game lead over third-place Detroit in the AL Central. The Tigers have dropped six of eight, and manager Jim Leyland was ejected in the fifth inning. Masterson (2-3) entered 0-4 in seven starts against the Tigers. He allowed one run and five hits in seven innings.

Pirates’ Harrison is a man for all fields By WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer

PITTSBURGH — Josh Harrison stood in a hallway deep inside PNC Park on Tuesday afternoon, trying to make his way to the field for batting practice. One problem. His gloves made the going slow. And treacherous.. There was his middle infielder’s glove. His first baseman’s glove. His third baseman’s glove. Oh yeah, don’t forget the outfielder’s glove, the one he received in training camp but had spent the last six weeks tucked away in the back of his locker — until Pittsburgh Pirates manager Clint Hurdle told Harrison earlier in the week he’d be playing right field for the first time since he was in Class A four years ago. Balancing all four gloves and a couple of bats takes some doing, particularly if you’re 5-feet-8. Harrison will manage, however, so long as it helps him keep his job, whatever it is. The most exciting moment of Harrison’s day is the minute he walks into the clubhouse and checks the lineup card to see where he’ll be next. “I always look,” Harrison said. “If I’m in the lineup I’ll see where I’m at and I’ll take my work there and if I’m not in the lineup I’ll try to take my (at bats) wherever I can get them.” Those at bats are coming more often than ever. The 24-year-old

sparkplug is one of the few pleasant offensive surprises for the run-starved Pirates, who open a three-game series with the Cubs on Friday. Harrison is hitting .274 — good enough for second on the team behind Andrew McCutchen — and gained a piece of fame last week by breaking up a no-hit bid by Detroit ace Justin Verlander with one out in the ninth inning. The at-bat was typical Harrison. He looked overmatched while flailing away at a couple of breaking balls before throwing his bat at one final slider Verlander left in the middle of the plate. The ball rolled into center field and Harrison found himself playing spoiler. “He probably thought I was expecting a fastball and could get me off guard,” Harrison said. “I was thinking fastball and that pitch, he just left it up a little bit.” Then again, the ball doesn’t have to get very high to be considered “up” when Harrison is in the batter’s box. His crouch leaves little room for pitchers to put the ball and the ones that do find their way to the strike zone, he attacks. Harrison is riding a nine-game hitting streak since being elevated to the starting lineup and has scored at least one run in eight of Pittsburgh’s last nine contests. Now the player who spent most of last season as Pitts-

burgh’s 25th man is becoming too invaluable to leave on the bench. Hurdle joked with bench coach Jeff Banister on Tuesday that Harrison is so busy he needed a day off. It’s a good problem to have for Harrison, a sixth-round pick by the Cubs in 2008 before being traded to the Pirates a year later. He’s worked his way up through the minors before breaking through last year as a utility infielder. The Pirates told him in spring training if he wanted to stay in the majors all year, he’d better be ready for anything. About the only position Harrison figures he can’t handle is catcher. “That’s out of the question,” he said with a laugh. “They probably tell you that when I catch between innings, the glove takes me. I blink and the ball is at the backstop.” The way Harrison is playing, Hurdle hasn’t ruled out a turn at first, if just so the manager can placate his wife. “My wife challenges me at home, she says ‘Well have you put him at first base yet’ and I’m like ‘no I haven’t’,” Hurdle said. “She goes ‘Why is that?’ and I say “I never think it’s right when you throw downhill to first base’ but we might kick that one to the curb as well.” Harrison will adapt. It’s what he does.

Johnson in lead after 1st-round Zach Johnson shoots 6-under 64 to take one-stroke lead at Colonial. The Associated Press

FORT WORTH, Texas — Zach Johnson stood behind the fourth green looking at his club and then the ball that rolled within 4 feet of the hole. “I got lucky,” Johnson said about his second shot on the 244-yard par 3 — his 13th hole Thursday — after his tee shot went through the green and stopped in a clump of grass. Three holes later, Johnson was so deep in a greenside bunker that he couldn’t even be seen from the other side of the green until he popped up to watch his blast over the ridge to 2 1/2 feet from the cup. Those par-savers were part of a bogey-free 6-under 64 that gave him a one-stroke lead after the first round in the Colonial, where 20-30 mph wind with higher gusts whipped through the big oak trees lining the fairways. “Today was great. I got off to a good start, just hit some quality shots. I didn’t put myself ever in a position that was too worrisome,” Johnson said. “I kept the golf course in front me. I attacked when I could attack. I had a couple of nice saves when I needed it. ... I’ve got zero complaints.” SENIOR PGA CHAMPIONSHIP BENTON HARBOR, Mich. — Roger Chapman shot a 3-under 68 to take the firstround lead in the Senior PGA Championship at difficult Harbor Shores. The Englishman is playing only his second tournament of the year after tying for 16th this month in the European Senior Tour’s Mallorca Open. John Cook was a stroke back in the major championship, and Steve Pate, J.L. Lewis, Jeff Sluman, Jay Haas, David Frost and Jim Carter followed at 70. Bernhard Langer and Mark Calcavecchia shot 73. Fred Funk, coming off a victory May 6 at The Woodlands in the last Champions Tour’s event, had a 74. Fred Couples and Tom Lehman shot 76. BMW PGA CHAMPIONSHIP VIRGINIA WATER, England — Ireland’s Peter Lawrie and Scotland’s David Drysdale shared the firstround lead at 6-under 66 in the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth. England’s Justin Rose was a stroke back along with Spain’s Alvaro Quiros, Swedes Niclas Fasth and Richard S. Johnson and Wales’ Jamie Donaldson in the European Tour’s flagship event.

DISTRICT 2 GIRLS SOCCER TOURNAMENT

Dawgs, Mounts meet for final title By JOHN ERZAR jerzar@timesleader.com

Since the PIAA played its first spring girls soccer championship game in 1993, Dallas has won six District 2 titles. It’s a mark equaled only by its biggest rival, Coughlin. The Mountaineers, though, have a chance to break that deadlock tonight in the final district spring soccer title game as all of girls soccer shifts to the fall in a few months. It won’t be easy. Dallas’ opponent at 6:30 p.m. today at Wilkes University is defending champion Berwick, one of only two teams to defeat the Mountaineers this season.

INSIDE: Lineups, Page 2B.

Admission is $6 for adults and $4 for students. The winner plays the District 3 sixth seed on Wednesday at Wilkes at a time to be announced. Dallas (11-2) enters off a 2-1 semifinal victory over Lake-Lehman where Ashley Dunbar and Ashley Strazdus scored goals. Sweeper Talia Szatkowski also prevented two by booting away balls about to cross the goal line. The Mountaineers, though, come in banged up. Standout midfielder Colleen McDonald hasn’t played recently because of a left knee injury. Coach Chris

Scharff said the Drexel University recruit probably won’t play again unless Dallas advances to the state tournament. Dallas keeper Amber Yang, considered among the best netminders in the Wyoming Valley Conference, missed significant time with a right knee injury suffered April 12 at Crestwood. She started the second half of the semifinal game and aggravated the knee, an injury that Scharff said ended her season. “We started out great and then injuries all of a sudden,” Scharff said. “The beginning of the season we were great, 10-0, going through everybody. Now we have injuries.” Berwick (11-3-1) might have

found its offense, a sore spot earlier on that included a 6-0 loss to Dallas on April 2. The Dawgs defeated Dallas 4-3 in their regularseason finale on May 16. They followed up with consecutive district wins, including a 2-0 victory against a tough Coughlin squad. Caty Davenport, Karleigh Hartman and Abby Takacs – holdovers from last year’s title team – have provided much of the offense. Freshmen Olivia Conklin and Brianna Floryshak have also be factors. “Our goal has been all along to BILL TARUTIS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER repeat as district champions,” Berwick coach Paul DiPippa Alex Lorson, left, of Berwick will look to defend their District 2 said. “We gave ourselves that op- title against Dallas today at Wilkes. The Bulldogs and Mountaineers split their regular-season series. portunity now.”

DISTRICT 2 BASEBALL TOURNAMENT

Coughlin triumphs in a pitchers’ duel By JOHN ERZAR jerzar@timesleader.com

WEST PITTSTON — Runs were as tough to come by as the last time. Coughlin, though, managed just enough Thursday to reverse the outcome of that April 30 meeting with Wyoming Area. Coughlin scored an unearned run in the first and winning pitcher Josh Featherman singled in another in the seventh as the Crusaders advanced in the District 2 Class 3A baseball playoffs with a 2-0 victory. The fifth-seeded Crusaders (10-7) will play at top-seeded North Pocono (14-1) at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday in the semifinals. Wyoming Area ended its year at 10-6. During the Wyoming Valley Conference season, Wyoming Area edged Coughlin 2-1 in nine innings. While the starting pitchers were different, runs remained a scarcity. “It was the spitting image of the first game,” Coughlin coach Moe Rodzinak said. “In the first game, we were beating them 1-0 in the seventh and they came back and beat us. We had the same scenario today. We were up and weren’t taking anything lightly.” Thanks to consecutive infield errors in the first inning, Cough-

lin cleanup hitter Kyle Lupas was able to single in Joe Parsnik from third. Parsnik scored the other run in the seventh on Featherman’s two-out lined single to center. The Crusaders, though, left the bases loaded for a third time. Between the first-inning and seventh-inning runs, the game was a battle between Featherman and Wyoming Area lefty Dylan Maloney. Featherman wasn’t overpowering, striking out just four, but he issued just two walks and allowed five hits. Wyoming Area didn’t hit the ball out of the infield just once after the second inning until Adam Romanowski’s two-out single in the seventh. “Featherman was really on with his stuff today,” Rodzinak said. “His curveball was working, his location was great. He threw well and had a pretty good defense behind him.” Defense played a part as Coughlin erased runners with double plays in the first and second, with the latter ending the inning. The second-inning double play was particularly impressive, a rare 5-3-6 twin killing. Coughlin third baseman Dylan Concini charged a grounder and threw to first baseman Lupas for the first

Yankees buffaloed by Bisons The Times Leader staff

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Getting just one extra-base hit in a game isn’t going to account for many wins. The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees were held to just one double – a hit that produced two runs by Steve Pearce – and only four hits Thursday night at Coca Cola Field in a 6-2 loss to Buffalo. SWB starter Adam Warren threw four shutout innings to begin the game, but the next two innings gave him some problems. Omar Quintanilla started the scoring for the Bisons with a twoRBI double to left field, making the score 2-0. PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER The Bisons extended their lead Coughlin shortstop Joe Parsnik ranges to his right to try and track down one of Wyoming Area’s five to 4-0 in the sixth on a RBI single by Jordany Valdespin and a runhits in Thursday’s district quarterfinal game.

May’s late magic with bat lifts Berwick past Pittston Area By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

BERWICK — Eric May’s shot launched into the gap in right center, finally resting at the base of the fence below a proud state championship banner. The hit, an RBI triple in the bottom of the sixth, gave Berwick the lead for good as the Bulldogs look to recapture some of that postseason magic from their 2008 PIAA title team. They got a healthy dose of it Thursday as right fielder Brandon Fenstermacher threw out the potential tying run at the plate in the top of the seventh, helping preserve Berwick’s 3-2 win over Pittston Area in the District 2 Class 3A quarterfinals. “That,” Berwick coach Brian Pinterich said, “was one of the best high school baseball games you’ll ever see.” And it came very close to going past seven innings. The third-seeded Bulldogs (12-4) took a 3-1 lead into the seventh thanks to hits by May and Fenstermacher in the sixth, only to see the Patriots put runners on second and third with one out. Pittston Area’s Brian Delaney hit a bloop single to bring home one run. When Fenstermacher briefly bobbled the ball, the Patriots waved home pinch runner Michael Delaney from second. But Fenstermacher, a member of the Bulldogs’ deep pitching staff, delivered a strike to the plate from right field in time to nail the runner and keep Berwick in front. “I felt good (about the throw).

DISTRICT 2 SOFTBALL

Cougars keep swinging in victory By JOHN MEDEIROS jmedeiros@timesleader.com

HAZLETON — Somehow, it was a game that no one wanted to let end. Or so it seemed. No. 3 seed Hazleton Area simply kept batting after securing a double-digit lead in the bottom of the fifth inning, and No. 6 seed Scranton prepped its players to bat in the sixth inning before umpires declared the Cougars a 10-0 winner over the Knights in a District 2 Class 4A softball quarterfinal Thursday. “They swung at strikes today,” Cougars assistant coach Ted Treon said of a 10-hit effort. “They just had to wait for the slower pitches, but they made good contact.” With the win, Hazleton Area advances to play at No. 2 seed Wallenpaupack on Tuesday in the district semifinals. Wallenpaupack defeated Wyoming Val-

ley West 4-2 on Thursday. HAZLETON “We didn’t AREA know much about this team,” winning pitcher ShanSCRANTON non Salvaterra said of facing Scranton. “We knew they didn’t win much, that we had a better record than them. We played Wallenpaupack before and we beat them (a 7-6 win on April 14).” Eight Hazleton Area players had hits and five players drove in runs, led by three off the bat of Salvaterra. The Cougars started strong, loading the bases in the first inning and having two runners on in both the second and third innings. Yet Hazleton Area only had two runs to show for its efforts, having stranded five on base. “I thought we should have

been ahead more early on,” Cougars head coach Vince Trivelpiece said. Meanwhile, Salvaterra faced two batters over the minimum through four innings. After Scranton’s Rachel Kovach reached on a one-out error in the second inning, Sam Bloom ripped a double down the right-field line. Hazleton Area’s Ashley Donlin retrieved the ball at the fence and threw a rope to cutoff Maria Trivelpiece. The freshman threw a strike home that beat Kovach by nearly 20 feet. Then catcher Justine Rossi fired to third base, where Abby Sachse applied a tag to Bloom as she went for the extra base. The 9-4-2-5 double play erased the Knights’ best threat. “I felt good, I felt confident,” Salvaterra said. “I think this team was fired up to play today and it showed.” Doubles by Lexi Wolk and

Becky Demko were the big hits in the six-run fourth inning that put the game out of reach. Wolk drove in two with her shot to right-center. Demko picked up one RBI with her hit to left. In the fifth inning, Salvaterra delivered a bases-loaded single to center, scoring Catherine LaBuz and Sachse to officially send the Cougars to the semifinals. Hazleton Area 10, Scranton 0 (5 inn.)

The junior hurler allowed no more than one hit in each of the fourth, fifth and sixth innings before retiring the side in the seventh, scattering three strikeouts along the way. Crestwood tacked on its second run in the fifth inning after Rachael Ritz scored on a ground ball that Wyoming Area mishandled. “It still feels good to win and move on, but we’ve still got some things to work on for (today),” Griffin said. Not to be entirely outdone by her counterpart in the circle, Crestwood’s Davies turned in a fine performance of her own. With the exception of the third inning, Davies was in command. The sophomore struck out six through as many innings

and retired the side in each of the second, fourth and sixth innings. “For a sophomore, I’m really proud of what Davies has done, both all season and out there today,” Crestwood coach Bob Bertoni said. “But Wyoming Area’s a very good team and I knew they were going to fight back.” Davies gave up a total of six hits without issuing a walk.

drove in two runs to boost their lead to 7-4. “To tell you the truth, with the young group we have, getting up 5-0 and then giving four runs to make it 5-4 was big,” Zapotoski said. “If we put up a zero on the board (in the fifth), Lakeland has all the momentum. We scored two runs to make it 7-4 and put all the momentum in our favor.” The Hawkeyes batted around in the first frame to knock out Lakeland starter Joe Natale after just one inning. Zach Kollar and Christian Pack led off with a double and RBI single. Two of the Hawkeyes’ five doubles came off the bat of Ferrence. He finished with a 4-for-4 performance at the plate with two runs and three RBI.

The Royals appeared to be in trouble in the second game. After scoring early for a 3-2 lead, the Wildcats went on a run to put Redeemer in a 9-4 hole. That’s the kindofstretchthatwouldnormally prompt a coach to call a timeout. But Royals’ coach Jack Kablick had confidence in his team and didn’t use the stoppage. “We’ve worked through tight situations before and I did call a timeout at a (tournament) and it seemed like things got worse,” Kablick said. “In some of the tough

The Royals held two more onepoint leads before slowly pulling away for a 25-22 victory. “We always battle back. Sometimeswegetinlittleslumps,butwe pump ourselves up and it helps us battle back and win the game,” Vamos added. “A couple mental and a couple physical mistakes (occurred), but that’s going to happen toanyoneandwebattledthroughit great.” Game 3 looked eerily similar to the first game. The biggest difference came from middle hitter Mike Prociak.Asophomore,hewasright in the middle of everything after Western Wayne was close in the early going. But Prociak’s powerful kills stymied the Wildcats on three of Redeemer’s seven-point run as

the team started pulling away opening a 9-2 lead. “I was just hitting the spots today. But I owe it all to my teammates because without them nothing would be set up right for me,” said Prociak, who tallied12 kills. Wingert (16 kills, 11 assists) and Jeremy Myslowski (10 points, 22 assists) also had a big day for Redeemer, while T.J.

er-beating 3 from the corner. Wade, who was on the bench getting his customary breather at the end of the quarter, leaped from his seat as the ball left Chalmers’ hand at the far end, raced along the baseline and pumped his fist when it swished. As Chalmers raced toward the Miami bench, Wade greeted him near the free throw line with a low-five. For the most part, D-Wade did his best work while in the game. He dropped 11-of-16 shooting on the Pacers in the first half, but also made sure the MVP stayed involved, dishing off a behind-the-back pass to James for a thunderous jam. Indiana clamped down a bit on No. 3 the rest of the way, but he still managed perhaps his most jaw-dropping basket. Darting into the lane, he threw up a

wild-looking, one-handed shot that looked like it might go over the backboard, only to catch the top of the glass and drop through, barely touching the twine. There was none of the nastiness that marked Game 5, when a bunch of flagrant fouls resulted in suspensions for two Miami players, co-captain Udonis Haslem and backup center Dexter Pittman. Pacers president Larry Bird was so disgusted with his team’s performance that he accused them of going “soft.” This time, it was merely a Miami team on a mission, a mission that began in the summer of 2010 when the Heat signed James and Chris Bosh to join with Wade in a seemingly unbeatable Big Three. There was a glitzy introduction and predictions of multiple championships, which left the rest of the league seething and plenty of people cheering when Miami was knocked off in the NBA finals by the Dallas Mavericks last season.

Celtics, Sixers get set for another Game 7

No Ranger guarantee for this ECF Game 6

By JIMMY GOLEN AP Sports Writer

BOSTON — Julius Erving strolled through the 76ers locker room as Philadelphia celebrated beating the Celtics to set up another Game 7 in Boston. “It brings back all the memories,” the Hall of Famer said after the Sixers forced the first seventh game between the old rivals since he teamed with Andrew Toney to lead Philadelphia past Boston and into the 1982 NBA finals. “It seemed like it always came down to them. ... Coming out of the East, (it) was always Boston or Philly.” Jrue Holiday scored 20 points and Elton Brand had 13 points and 10 rebounds on Wednesday night to lead the 76ers to an 8275 victory over the Celtics on Wednesday night that left the Eastern Conference semifinals tied 3-3. Both teams took the day off on Thursday to rest up for Game 7 in Boston on Saturday. “That’s all we wanted was to win ... and give ourselves a chance to go into Boston and see what happens on Saturday

in Game 7,” Sixers coach GAME 7 Doug ColPhiladelphia lins said af76ers ter his team at stayed alive. Boston Celtics “I want Saturday, TBD more. I want more. We’re going to get greedy, and we want more. We’ve fought, we’ve worked, and we’ve gone through a lot as a team.” The Sixers and Celtics met 12 times in the playoffs from 195369 and five more from 1977-85, fomenting an animosity that stretched from Bob Cousy and the Syracuse Nationals through Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain and into the era of Dr. J and Boston’s original Big Three of Kevin McHale, Robert Parish and Larry Bird. Collins played for the 76ers for eight years, retiring in 1981 due to a knee injury that limited him to just 48 games over the previous two seasons. He was hurt when the Sixers took a 3-1 lead in the ‘81 conference finals before Boston came back, winning Game 7 when Bird banked

in the winner for a spot in the finals en route to the Celtics’ 14th NBA title. The teams met again in the conference finals the next year, and again Philadelphia opened a 3-1 lead before the Celtics came back to force a seventh game. “It was here we go again. They talked a lot about the psyche of how the Philly fans thought the team had let them down once again, the disappointment,” said Collins, who was working the radio broadcasts when the Sixers held on to win in Boston. “They won that game. We have that same opportunity. Let’s give ourselves that chance. Let’s get ourselves back

to Boston with a Game 7 and see what we can do.” Before Game 6, Collins showed his team the video from the ’82 series to psych the players up. “Sometimes, I think it’s good to go back and let guys see the history of the franchise with Boston and Philly,” he said. “Watching Julius and Maurice Cheeks, and Bobby Jones and Andrew Toney and these guys. Seeing McHale and Bird and Parish and that group of guys. It was good for our guys to see.” It will be a new Boston Garden and new Big Three for this Game 7, and the rivalry isn’t what it once was, either.

HORSE RACING

California board suspends I’ll Have Another trainer Doug O’Neill, the trainer of Triple Crown hopeful I’ll Have Another, was suspended 45 days after one of his horses had an excessive level of carbon dioxide, but the punishment won’t start before he saddles the Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner in the Belmont Stakes on June 9. The suspension comes in the final weeks of I’ll Have Another’s attempt to become horse racing’s 12th Triple Crown winner and first since Affirmed 34 years

ago. The colt trained by O’Neill won the Derby on May 5 and then took the Preakness on Saturday. The California Horse Racing Board met in closed session Thursday at Betfair Hollywood Park in Inglewood, Calif., to consider the recommended decision of a hearing officer in O’Neill’s case. The board agreed with the officer’s recommendations, which included the maximum punishment and fine — $15,000 — for the trainer, who turned 44 on Thursday.

While elevated carbon dioxide is associated with “milkshaking,” the officer agreed with O’Neill that his horse Argenta had not been fed a mixture of bicarbonate of soda, sugar and electrolytes that enhances performance and combats fatigue. The officer did not indicate what might have caused the overage. “I’m gratified that the CHRB found that I did not “milkshake” a horse or engage in any intentional conduct that would result in an elevated TC02 level,” O’Neill said in a statement is-

sued after the ruling. “I plan on examining and reviewing all of my options following the Belmont Stakes, but right now I plan on staying focused on preparing for and winning the Triple Crown.” The suspension comes at a time when racing is under heavy scrutiny for the way horses are prepared for their races. O’Neill had vigorously proclaimed his innocence in the 2010 case from the beginning, and said he spent $250,000 defending himself.

SPORTS GAMBLING

Governor: NJ will start sports bets on its own Gov. Chris Christie says he won’t let federal ban on sports gambling stop his plan. By WAYNE PARRY Associated Press Writer

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — New Jersey will defy a federal ban and let people bet on the outcomes of football, basketball and other games this fall, Gov. Chris Christie said Thursday. Speaking at a news conference highlighting efforts to reinvigorate Atlantic City, Christie said the regulations his administration will issue next week make no attempt to overturn a 1992 federal law that limits sports betting to four states. “We intend to go forward,” the Republican governor said. “If someone wants to stop us, then let them try to stop us. We want to work with the casinos and horse racing industry to get it implemented. “Am I expecting there may be legal action taken against us to try to prevent it? Yes,” the governor said. “But I have every confidence we’re going to be successful.”

The U.S. Justice Department did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment Thursday afternoon. Christie A federal law called the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act limits sports betting to four states that approved it by a 1991 deadline: Nevada, Delaware, Oregon and Montana. At the time, New Jersey was given the chance to become the fifth but failed to act during a prescribed window. But for the past two years, New Jersey has been moving toward implementing sports betting. A state senator from northern New Jersey tried to sue to overturn the law, but the case was dismissed. In the fall, voters indicated by a 2-to-1 margin in a nonbinding referendum that they want the ability to bet on sporting events. Earlier this year, the legislature passed a sports betting law, and Christie signed it. It would allow bets to be taken at Atlantic City ca-

sinos and the state’s four horse tracks. Casino executives generally supported Christie’s approach, even as they cautioned that none of them wanted to be the first to set up an expensive sports betting operation, only to risk having the federal government shut it down on a moment’s notice. “I love the idea of playing offense and having the federal government have to play defense against us,” said Tony Rodio, president of Tropicana Entertainment, which owns the Tropicana in Atlantic City, as well as casinos in several other states. “But I don’t know who’s going to want to be the first to open knowing they can shut you down. We’d need a lot more clarity before we invested lots of money in a sports book.” Likewise, Aaron Gomes, vice president of Resorts Casino Hotel, said the concept of moving ahead unilaterally is appealing but risky. “It’s going to be hard to find someone willing to take the first jump,” he said. “Particularly for companies that do business in multiple jurisdictions, they might not

want to jeopardize their licenses in other states.” Robert Griffin, CEO of Trump Entertainment Resorts, said he personally favors Christie’s approach. The Casino Association of New Jersey, of which Griffin is president, has not yet considered the matter, he added. “The voters of New Jersey have spoken, and he’s listening to them,” Griffin said. Sports betting proponents want to help Atlantic City’s 12 casinos and the state’s four racetracks: the Meadowlands in East Rutherford, Monmouth Park in Oceanport, Freehold Raceway and Atlantic City Race Course in Mays Landing. They say legal sports betting also would provide a new source of revenue from a huge pool of money that now flows untaxed to unlicensed offshore Internet sites or to illegal bookmakers, many of whom are allied with organized crime. Casino executives say the main benefit to their bottom line would come not from new sports betting revenue, but by drawing more customers, who would presumably gamble and spend money on other

Buffett bullish on papers Warren Buffett says his company is likely to buy more newspapers in the next few years, and Berkshire Hathaway will not try to influence the editorial policies of any of them. Buffett wrote a memo this week to the editors and publishers of all of Berkshire’s daily newspapers. That group is about to get significantly larger because Berkshire announced last week that it plans to buy 63 newspapers from Media General Inc. for $142 million. The letter was posted online Thursday by the Omaha World-Herald, which is a Berkshire newspaper. Buffett says Berkshire will look to buy small to mid-sized newspapers that cover their communities well.

Waiting game for Greece By DEREK GATOPOULOS and DANIEL WOOLLS Associated Press

ATHENS, Greece — European leaders insist they want to keep Greece in the eurozone, but are putting off any agreement on how they hope to accomplish that. Greece says it, too, wants to stay in the eurozone, but until after elections it’s uncertain whether it can implement the austerity that Europe has set as a condition for doing so. Essentially, both are playing for time — about a month. The question is whether financial markets will wait or force their hand.

Non-conventional drilling processes boosted natural gas production four-fold in two years, according to a report released Wednesday by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The report also quantifies the reported slowdown in drilling attributed to the low price of natural gas, which was trading around $2.70 per million cubic feet Thursday. The report finds that the number of wells drilled annually between 2009 and 2011 has risen slightly, from about 1,800 in 2009 to about 2,300 in 2011, but the production of those wells has risen exponentially with the shift from traditional vertically drilled wells to more productive horizontal wells.

and tax hikes to slash its deficit and rein in its debt in exchange for the international bailout loans that help it pay the bills. But the country is now in its fifth year of recession, and many argue it cannot hope for a recovery if it sticks to the deal. And Greeks — though still keen to remain in the single currency club — are calling for better terms or, at least, for the pace of austerity to be slowed down. In a general election this month, neither of Greece’s two main parties, both of which support the bailout deal, fared well. Instead, minor parties that are threatening to renege on those commitments saw their popularity surge. A new round of elections is set for June 17.

onomic problems have worried the markets for weeks. Among the 17 countries that use the euro, seven are in recession. Business confidence is under pressure and banks are feeling the squeeze. The biggest fear is that if Greece cannot be kept in the euro, other larger economies — like Spain or Portugal — might face the same fate. “The breakup of the eurozone will be a disaster. Greece could leave, and others could leave, and this would be a huge financial tsunami,” said Dariusz Kowalczyk, senior economist at Credit Agricole CIB in Hong Kong. “Europe is not doing enough, and the market may not wait for them.” Greece has gone through round after round of massive spending cuts

U.S. bank earnings rose in the first three months of the year to the highest level in nearly five years and the number of troubled banks fell for the fourth straight quarter. The mostly positive first-quarter earnings released Thursday illustrate how far the banking industry has come since the 2008 financial crisis. Still, the report noted that many banks remain cautious about lending, a necessary driver of economic growth.

SEATTLE — Amazon.com Inc., addressing issues that have drawn heavy criticism of the company, told shareholders Thursday that it planned to improve warehouse conditions and drop its membership in a conservative public-policy organization. More than 100 protesters rallied outside the company’s annual shareholders meeting Thursday at the Seattle Art Museum, calling on the Seattle Internet retailer to pay more taxes, treat its workers better and drop its membership in the American Legislative Exchange Council. During the meeting, Amazon founder and Chief Executive Jeff Bezos said the company will spend $52 million this year retrofitting its warehouses with air conditioning. Amazon has come under heavy criticism for conditions at its warehouses after a Pennsylvania newspaper revealed that employees were forced to work in temperatures above 100 degrees last summer. In response to a shareholder’s question, general counsel Michelle Wilson said Amazon has decided not to renew its membership in the nonprofit ALEC. “This year, we’ve decided not to renew with ALEC, and it’s because of positions they’ve taken not related to our business,” Wilson said. Before the meeting, shareholders were ushered through metal detectors under a white tent outside the museum. Protesters came from as far as Spokane, Wash., and Medford, Ore., to attend the rally, which was organized by Renton, Wash.-based labor group Working Washington.

The number of wells drilled in 2011 is also below the number drilled in 2008 and in prior years, a fact the administration attributes to the more productive drilling methods. With the shift to and increase in horizontal wells, Pennsylvania’s natural gas production has jumped from 400 million to 500 million cubic feet of gas per day prior to 2009 to nearly 3.5 billion cubic feet per day in 2011, the report states.

On the threshhold of another long holiday weekend, optimism prevails in the weather ofﬁce this morning and generally speaking, the outlook is good. Temperatures will be trending above normal and most of the time it’ll be rain free. Another shower is possible today, with skies becoming partly sunny. Then, a sudden wind shift tonight will allow drier air to move in tomorrow with more sunshine and warm temperatures. There is a chance for a shower tomorrow night and on Sunday with limited sunshine. Then on Monday, more heat and another shower. - Tom Clark
