Motion to quash verdict denied

Woman who said she took over $2.3M from clients also ordered to repay the money. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – She admitted stealing more than $2.3 million from clients who utilized her title search firm, but Elizabeth Sichler insisted Thursday that she did not personally benefit from the thefts. The money, pilfered from escrow accounts over a threeyear period, was used exclusively to keep her floundering business afloat, Sichler told U.S District Judge William NeaSichler lon. Sichler had hoped the purported circumstances surrounding the thefts, coupled with years of community service, would convince Nealon to depart significantly from the 51 to 63 months in prison that federal sentencing guidelines suggested. Nealon was unswayed by the plea for leniency, however, sentencing the 58-year-old Harveys Lake resident to 55 months in prison. She was also ordered to repay all the money she took. Sichler pleaded guilty in October to one count of wire fraud for embezzling $2,318,829 from 92 clients who had deposited money in escrow accounts she held. The funds were supposed to be used to pay off existing mortgages and other debts associated with real estate closings she handled through her Kingston title search firm, Priority Search. Prosecutors say Sichler was able to hide the thefts, which See SICHLER, Page 9A

Diocesan Appeal exceeds goal

The more than $5.5M collected is 2nd-highest total in diocese history. By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – Despite the tough economy, the annual Diocesan Appeal has exceeded the $5.4 million goal by more than $100,000, collecting the second-highest total in the history of the Diocese of Scranton. The numbers were good news all around for a diocese that had seen appeal donations slide several years in a row after hitting an all-time high of $6 million in 2007. According to the announ-

cement from the diocese, the appeal this year attracted nearly 35,000 donors, a 14 percent increase from last year, with the amount pledged climbing by 19 percent, and the rate of payment on those pledges outpacing last year. The statement also noted the 18 percent increase in the appeal far exceeds the “3.5 to 4 percent increase for charitable giving of all types as forecast by the Association of Fundraising Professionals.” The amount raised by the appeal had generally grown steadily into the tenure of Bishop Joseph C. Bambera’s predecessor, Bishop Joseph Martino, who initially had substantial success sustain-

The ruling by U.S. District Judge Edwin Kosik clears the way for Ciavarella to be sentenced. No date had been set as of Thursday evening. Ciavarella’s attorneys, Al Flora Jr. and William Ruz- Ciavarella zo, had argued that evidence presented at Ciavarella’s trial in February was not sufficient to support the jury’s verdict on all charges except some tax counts. The attorneys also claimed Kosik made several errors in admitting or barring evidence and in failing to recuse himself, and First reported that several of the counts at were not filed within the 4:36 statute of limitations. p.m. Kosik rejected each of timesleader the arguments. His opin.com ion, which is five pages long, provides little argument or analysis regarding the issues, relying primarily on arguments cited in a reply brief filed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Marino wants to freeze federal hiring He introduces legislation based on Reagan plan until budget deficit eliminated. By STEVE MOCARSKY smocarsky@timesleader.com

WASHINGTON, D.C. – To help chip away at the federal budget deficit, U.S. Rep. Tom Marino on Thursday introduced legislation that would freeze federal hiring except in limited circumstances. “The current fiscal course we are on is unsustainable and disastrous,” Marino, R, Lycoming Township, told members of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on Federal Workforce, U.S. Postal Service and Labor Policy. “The American people have sent a clear message to Washington. We must cut spending; reduce the size and scope of the government; and keep taxes low to grow the economy and create jobs,” he said. Marino said he introduced

House Resolution 1779, the FederalHiringFreezeActof2011,“because the time for talk has ended, and the time for action is now. We cannot continue down this road of big government and deficit spending.” Marino said the framework for his legislation and the concept of putting a freeze on federal spending is not new. He said the first official act of Ronald Reagan as president was to sign a memorandum calling for an immediate freeze on the hiring of civilian employees in the executive branch. Marino said his legislation builds on the Reagan plan by imposing a hiring freeze on the federal government until the budget deficit has been eliminated. The bill contains specific limited exceptions in which hiring is permitted, such as in times when the nation is at war; for vital national security interests; for federal law enforcement purposes; to honor prior contractual obligations; for reassignment of personnel within agencies to fill needed positions; for positions to facili-

Hanover Area plans tax hike, job cuts School board also would close Lyndwood Elementary under 2011-2012 budget.

By STEVE MOCARSKY Smocarsky@timesleader.com

HANOVER TWP. – The Hanover Area School Board on Thursday voted to approve a final budget proposal for the 201112 school year that includes a 0.9-mill property tax increase, curtails high school programs by eliminating positions for two industrial arts teachers, an art teacher, a French teacher and a social worker and closes Lyndwood Elementary. The closure will allow the furlough of three teachers and two assistant principals. But board members emphasized they will work to make more expenditure cuts before June 30 to further reduce or eliminate the tax hike. Superintendent Anthony Podczasy said state law would allow the school board to raise taxes up to 4 mills with qualifying exceptions, but Thursday’s 8-1 vote basically created a ceiling for the highest possible tax hike that the board would impose – the 0.9-mill increase. A mill is equal to $1 in tax for every $1,000 in assessed property value. So, without any further tax reduction, the tax bill for a home with an assessed value of $100,000 would increase $90. The 5.87-percent increase would bring the total millage rate to 16.2283, equating to a property tax of $1,622.83 on such a home. Podczasy said the board started in December with a proposed budget of $28.3 million and, by February, reduced it to $27.3 million. In March, the board cut another $2.1 million, leaving a deficit of $1.4 million. The deficit grew to $2.77 million in April when Gov. Tom Corbett announced state funding cuts for education.

tate the orderly transition and operation of a new Presidential administration; and in the U.S. Postal Service. These exceptions assure that the most critical and basic functions of federal government remain unaffected, he said. Fellow freshman U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton, applauded Marino “for taking the initiative

and proposing ideas to get our fiscal house in order.” “There’s no question that the federal government is broke and that serious spending cuts are necessary,” Barletta said. “At first glance, the legislation looks like a worthy endeavor, but I’m still reviewing the details of the bill.” Marino said the fact that he was

called to testify at the hearing shows that his colleagues are taking the bill seriously and are showing genuine interest in it. “But, most of all, the people in the 10th District are overwhelmingly in support of a federal hiring freeze. It isn’t a cure-all but it is a step in the right direction. Fixing this economy is going to require many little steps in the right direction,” Marino said. Marino said he came up with the idea for the bill while traveling in the 10th District and talking with people who are struggling. “Businesses and households throughout the district are hurting and have to adjust their budgets to get by. I think it is time the federal government did the same,” Marino said. “Businesses that are facing hard times are not replacing workers who retire or leave. They have to do more with less. The national economy will never recover unless we do three things, what I call an economic trifecta: cut federal spending, downsize Washington and keep taxes low,” he said.

WILKES-BARRE – A kiosk for Babe Ruth’s home run in Artillery Park is going up and the backboards on the basketball court at Scouton Lee Park could be coming down after city council voted on the items Thursday. The kiosk, to be constructed by the Babe Ruth Commemorative Fund in Kirby Park, will tell about the famed slugger’s home run during a pick-up game on Oct. 12, 1926. Council acted on a motion made by Tony Thomas Jr. after hearing about noise from basketball games at the city park on Parkin Street in the Parsons section. “When I say we’re fed up, we are really fed up,” said Christian Stevens of Parkin Street. Stevens said he had the signatures of 39 people who live near

the park asking that something be done. Thomas initially motioned “to temporarily take down the banking boards,” but amended it after Councilman Bill Barrett asked for a legal review of the matter. Barrett, Thomas, Mike Merritt and Rick Cronauer voted to take down the backboards but leave standing the poles to which they are attached pending a legal opinion from city Solicitor William Vinsko. Janet Straub of Espy Street complained about children playing basketball on the street in front of her house. Barrett said he would introduce a resolution at a later date so that the city can have a tool available to address the problem. Bob Kadluboski wanted five minutes each for the four topics he wanted to discuss, including the city’s towing contract and

pensions and benefits. But Merritt said residents have a limited time period to speak When Kadluboski asked how he was to cover multiple topics in a short amount of time, Merritt replied, “Then talk fast.” In addition, council approved: • An amendment that authorizes the Health and Police departments to address abandoned vehicles on private property. • Financing no more than $3.5 million by the City Finance Authority for St. Luke’s Villa’s acquisition of the Heritage House on 80 E. Northampton Street. • The renovation of playgrounds with $22,070 from cell tower lease revenue. • A $66,269 supplemental agreement with Borton/Lawson Engineering for the design and streetscape on the F.M.

cut was $1.36 million. The board cut spending further, resulting in a $25.15 million budget for 2011-12, or $241,486 more than this year’s. Podczasy said a third of the 0.9-mill tax increase will be used for debt payment, which increases from $724,350 to $3,180,965 next school year. Resident Ed Mera chastised the school board for allowing debt to escalate. “Where are you in the hole $29 million?” Board President John Pericci said previous school boards invested $19 million in infrastructure improvements to buildings constructed in the 1920s and 1930s. The additional $10 million was from interest expense. He said the $2.8 million that became due this year was no surprise, but he doesn’t think it “was planned for properly.” Speaking as an advocate for the arts, Ron Simasek said it appeared that state law required that art and music “had to be taught” in the schools. Podczasy said that while state code requires instruction in the humanities, not all humanities had to be taught. Lyndwood teacher Mary Ellen Fries asked if any faculty jobs could be saved if the teachers voted for a wage freeze. Solicitor George Shovlin said the board is in discussions with the teachers union on that topic, but members were “not privy to discuss it.” Pericci said the savings of a wage freeze would amount to about $445,000. Parent Kim Linski asked what will happen to non-college prep students whose programs were cut. Podczasy said the students whose classes were eliminated would take more Internet, computer, music and state assessment test preparation classes.

House where documents kept connected to ongoing investigation of dual slaying

Warrant cited Selenski papers

By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

Double homicide suspect Hugo Selenski mailed letters and drawings to a woman residing in a Hunlock Township house closely connected to the ongoing case, according to a search warrant affidavit. The search warrant, which was unsealed Thursday upon the request by The Times Leader, was granted on June 4, 2010, for the house at 647 Pritchard Road, where Michael Jason Kerkowski lived prior to his death in May 2002. Luzerne County detectives sought the search warrant in anticipation of Selenski’s trial on escape charges after Rose Mary Manfre, 63, refused to surrender the letters and drawings, the affidavit says. It remained unknown if detectives seized any letters and drawings by Selenski from the house. An inventory receipt of items seized, if any, was not

where Selenski lived with his then-girlfriend, Christina Strom. Investigators believe Kerkowski and Fassett were strangled inside the Pritchard Road home on May 3, 2002, according to arrest and court records. Selenski’s trial on the double homicide charge is scheduled to begin with jury selection on June 28. Kerkowski’s house on Pritchard Road was sold through his estate in 2003. It was purchased by a woman in Virginia. Manfre is listed on the search warrant as renting the house. Manfre could not be reached at the phone number listed for the house on Thursday. Detectives learned during an interview with Manfre in May 2010 that she had been exchanging correspondence

Court records indicate Selenski will be given credit for time served in jail when he is sentenced after the capital murder trial concerning the slayings of Kerkowski and Tammy Fassett.

The current system of rule by county commissioners would come to an end if the change is made.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania said two former Luzerne County bank tellers have pleaded guilty to District Judge A. Richard Caputo to conspiring to commit theft from the Kingston branch of First Keystone National Bank. According to a news release issued by U.S. Attorney Peter J. Smith, Mary Ann Wright, 42, of Kingston, and Jennifer Sgroi, 30, of Wyoming, who were employed as bank tellers, entered guilty pleas Wednesday to an information report charging them with embezzling more than $7,000 from their teller “cash drawers” between 2009 and 2010. The information charged that, in anticipation of bank audits, Wright and Sgroi would remove money from each other’s “cash drawers” in order to hide the cash discrepancies. Each defendant faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison, followed by a three-year term of supervised release and a $250,000 fine. WILKES-BARRE

PITTSTON TWP. – Divided along the Luzerne/Lackawanna county line over its 2011 budget, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport board Thursday took a preliminary step towards disbanding the board and replacing it with a municipal authority. The board, which consists of the three Luzerne County commissioners and three Lackawanna County commissioners, approved a motion directing airport Director Barry Centini and each county’s board solicitor to investigate the feasibility of replacing the airport board with a six-member municipal authority with three seats appointed “Hopefully, by each county.

Lackawanna County Commissioner Corey O’Brien said the board is governed by the 1945 project agreement for the airport’s construction, which was not intended to extend beyond project completion. He said that arrangement does not cover many issues pertinent today, putting the board in a position where it must “make up” procedures “in that the governing documents do not exist.” He also said making the board an authority would free the board from political factors like the budgets of two counties. “The unfortunate thing here is the structure itself,” Lackawanna County Commissioner Mike Washo added. “We’re talking about what’s good for Luzerne County; what’s good for Lackawanna County.

when a powerful bomb exploded in a field where they were patrolling on foot, officials said. Two Afghan policemen also died and two others were wounded in the explosion in the mountainous Shorabak district of Kandahar province, 12 miles from the Pakistan border, said Gen. Abdul Raziq, chief of the Afghan border police in the province. “Two months ago, we cleared this area of terrorists, but still they are active there,” Raziq said. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the blast. “A bomb was planted for them in a field,” Taliban spokesman Qari Yousef Ahmadi told The Associated Press in a telephone call. A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to disclose the information, confirmed that seven American service members died in the bombing.

LAZAREVO, Serbia — Ratko Mladic, the ruthless Bosnian Serb military leader charged with orchestrating Europe’s worst massacre of civilians since World War II, was arrested before dawn at a relative’s home in a tiny Serbian village on Thursday after a 16-year hunt for the architect of what a war-crimes judge called “scenes from hell.” He appeared Thursday evening at a closed session in a Belgrade court, looking frail and walking very slowly as he was escorted by four guards in the first step of the extradition process. Mladic’s lawyer said the judge cut short the questioning because the suspect’s “poor physical state” left him unable to communicate. Attorney Milos Saljic said Mladic asserts that he will not answer to the authority of the U.N. war-crimes tribunal in the Netherlands. “He is aware that he is under arrest, he knows where he is and he said he does not recognize The Hague tribunal,” Saljic said, adding that Mladic needs medical care and “should not be moved in such a state.” Deputy war crimes prosecutor Bruno

Vekaric said that Mladic is taking a lot of medicine, but added that he believed he was not psychologically unstable. Mladic’s arrest removed the most imMladic portant barrier to the Western-leaning Serbian government’s efforts to join the European Union and to rehabilitate the country’s image as a pariah state that sheltered the men responsible for the worst atrocities of the Balkan wars of the 1990s. Mladic had two pistols when he was arrested but offered no resistance, , Serbian officials and media said. Serbia raised its national security level and banned all gatherings after nationalist groups pledged to pour into the streets in protest. Mladic, 69, faces life imprisonment if tried and convicted of genocide and other charges. The U.N. court has no death penalty. Foremost among the horrors Mladic is charged with is the July 1995 slaughter of up to 8,000 Muslim men and boys in the Bosnian town of Srebrenica, which was supposed to be a safe zone

guarded by Dutch peacekeepers. War crimes tribunal judge Fouad Riad said during Mladic’s 1995 indictment in absentia that the court had seen evidence of “unimaginable savagery: thousands of men executed and buried in mass graves, hundreds of men buried

alive, men and women mutilated and slaughtered, children killed before their mothers’ eyes, a grandfather forced to eat the liver of his own grandson.” “These are truly scenes from hell, written on the darkest pages of human history,” he said.

SANAA, YEMEN

Militias warn president

Fighting spilled across Yemen’s capital and frightened residents fled or cowered in basements Thursday as a powerful militia alliance warned embattled President Ali Abdullah Saleh to either step down or face civil war. At least 28 people were killed as the fourday death toll neared 110. The bold ultimatum reflected the growing confidence among the opposition forces — led the Yemen’s largest tribe — that they could be gaining the upper hand against Saleh’s regime with the uprising shifting from near daily street protests to fast-moving urban combat. Saleh has managed to ride out swelling anti-government demonstrations for more than three months. NEW YORK

Marine killed by car

A Marine in New York City for Fleet Week was hit by a car and killed Thursday as he was returning to his ship, the USS Iwo Jima, berthed at a Hudson River pier. The accident occurred at around 1 a.m. at 12th Avenue and 49th Street, near where the ship is docked by the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. The 22-year-old, who was in uniform, had exited a taxicab with other Marines and was crossing 12th Avenue — also known as the West Side Highway — when he was struck, police said. His name was withheld until his family could be notified. CHICAGO

Blagojevich takes stand

An initially subdued Rod Blagojevich grew increasingly animated Thursday as he testified in his own defense, describing himself as flawed dreamer grounded in the working-class values of his parents and choking up on the stand as he talked about the day he met his wife. Hours into his testimony, neither Blagojevich nor his attorneys had directly addressed 20 federal corruption charges against him, including allegations he tried to sell or trade President Barack Obama’s vacated Senate seat for personal gain. Blagojevich instead discussed his upbringing, his first Little League hit and his college-age insecurity. “I’m Rod Blagojevich, I used to be your governor,” he told jurors. “I’m here today to tell you the truth.”

Judge voids Wis. bargaining law Fight concerning stripping collective bargaining rights from public workers will move into state Supreme Court. By SCOTT BAUER and TODD RICHMOND Associated Press

MADISON, Wis. — The fight over stripping collective bargaining rights from Wisconsin’s public workers will move into the state Supreme Court, and

possibly back into the Legislature, after a judge ruled Thursday to strike down the law that passed despite massive protests that paralyzed the Capitol. Republican backers of Gov. Scott Walker’s proposal said they were confident the state Supreme Court would overturn the judge’s ruling that the law is void because lawmakers broke open meetings statutes during the approval process. She had temporarily blocked the law shortly after it passed in March. The Supreme Court was scheduled to hear arguments in the case on June 6. Re-

publicans who control the Legislature also could pass the measure a second time to avoid the open meeting violations. Still, Democrats and union leaders who helped organize protests against the measure that grew to as large as 85,000 people praised the victory. “It tells legislators ‘You can’t be arrogant,”’ said Marty Beil, executive director of the state’s largest public employee union. “You have to do it in the light of day. You can’t take stuff away from people in a backroom deal.”

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Thursday gave Arizona and other states more authority to take action against illegal immigrants and the companies that hire them, ruling that employers who knowingly hire illegal workers can lose their license to do business. U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton, applauded the decision. “Hazleton is vindicated. The law upheld by the United States Supreme Court is a dead ringer for the business portion of Hazleton’s Illegal Immigration Relief Act. “ The 5-3 decision upholds the Legal Arizona Workers Act of 2007 and its so-called business death penalty for employers who are caught repeatedly hiring illegal immigrants. The state law also requires employers to check the federal E-Verify system before hiring new workers, a provision that was also upheld Thursday. The court’s decision did not deal with the more controversial Arizona law passed last year that gave police more authority to stop and question those who are suspected of being in the state illegally. But the ruling is likely to encourage the state and its supporters because the court majority said states remained free to take action involving immigrants.

Happy discovery in town wrecked by twister The Associated Press

JOPLIN, Mo. — As emergency workers in Joplin searched Thursday for more than 230 people on a list of the missing after a tornado smacked into the city, one of them was sitting in a wooden chair outside the wreckage of her home, cuddling her cat. Sally Adams, 75, said neighbors rescued her Sunday after the storm destroyed her house and took her to a friend’s home. When The Associated Press told Adams she was on the missing list, she laughed and said “Get me off of there!” Missouri officials had said they believed many of the missing were safe and alive but simply hadn’t been in touch with friends and family. When they released the

list of 232 names Thursday, they urged survivors to check in. Cell phone service in the city remains spotty. “Our goal is to get that number to zero,” Andrea Spillars, deputy director and general counsel of the Missouri Department of Public Safety, said of the missing. “We will dedicate as much state resources as needed around the clock to ensure those families who have loved ones that they cannot find are connected.” The death toll rose Wednesday to 125 people, not all of them identified, and officials have estimated more than 900 were injured.

primary reasons for existence is to ensure that ‘all Americans are protected from significant risks to human health and the environment where they live, learn and work.’” Barletta asked the EPA to investigate the existence of any potential environmental hazard in the Carroll/Mill neighborhood, report on the findings, develop any remediation plans that might be necessary and work with state and local officials to implement those plans. “I’m deeply concerned that EPA seems to be ignoring the residents of the Carroll/Mill neighborhood, and the people of Pittston in general,” Barletta said. “I was surprised to hear an EPA offi-

cial basically tell the residents of the Carroll/Mill neighborhood that they would not conduct soil and water testing to find answers. It is absolutely the EPA’s job, and I’m going to make sure that job is done. The residents are scared, and they deserve answers and peace of mind.” The Butler Mine Tunnel, a water drainage tunnel for the mines below Pittston, was added to the EPA’s Superfund priority list in 1986. Thousands of gallons of oil and industrial waste dumped illegally into a mine borehole in the 1970s spewed from the tunnel into the Susquehanna River in 1979 and again following a hurricane in 1985.

cient evidence to support the conviction relating to Mericle’s payment. They noted Mericle testified at the trial that the money he paid Ciavarella was not a bribe or kickback, but a legal “finder’s fee” to reward him for referring him to Powell to build the centers. U.S. Attorney Peter Smith, in a reply brief, acknowledged Mericle testified he thought the fee was legal. Smith argued there was an abundance of other evidence presented at the trial that showed Ciavarella and his one-time codefendant, former judge Michael Conahan, considered the money a kickback. Conahan pleaded guilty last year to racketeering conspiracy and is awaiting sentencing.

Kosik does not address either argument in detail in his opinion, saying only that the court “feels comfortable” in relying on the evidence and reasoning of prosecutors that was contained in their legal brief. Kosik also did not make a detailed finding regarding Ciavarella’s claim that the five-year statute of limitations had expired on the charges of racketeering, money laundering and conspiracy counts related to those offenses. Flora and Ruzzo said those charges related to wire transfers totaling $997,000 that Mericle made between Jan. 21, 2003 and Jan. 28, 2003. Charges against the ex-judges were initially filed on Jan. 26, 2009 – six years after the

offenses occurred. Kosik said he agreed with the government’s position that Ciavarella had waived that defense because the argument had not been raised before or during the trial. Even if it had not been waived, Kosik said, he believes the statute of limitations had not expired, but he offers no legal argument in support of that finding. Kosik also provided no detailed explanation regarding his rejection of Ciavarella’s claims that Kosik had improperly allowed prosecutors to present evidence that Ciavarella, while a judge, failed to recuse himself from civil cases that involved Powell and Mericle. In his opinion, Kosik says only that he had previously ruled upon

the admissibility of that evidence. Kosik makes the same statement regarding his rejection of Ciavarella’s argument that Kosik should have recused himself from presiding over the trial. The judge said Ciavarella provided no further basis for the recusal motion, therefore he stands on his prior ruling. Kosik’s opinion does provide more analysis regarding Ciavarella’s claims that the judge improperly prohibited him from presenting a statement that Assistant U.S. Attorney Gordon Zubrod made regarding the legality of Mericle’s payment. Zubrod had stated at Mericle’s guilty plea hearing for his role in

the scheme that payment “was not a bribe or kickback in any sense.” Kosik said he does not believe the statement constituted evidence, however. “The prosecutor’s statements were not the equivalent of testimonial statements of fact,” Kosik said. Kosik further noted that the defense was able to at least partially present Zubrod’s statement to the jury as Ruzzo “virtually read the prosecutors’ statement to the jury in his opening statement.” Even if he did err in barring the evidence, Kosik said he believes case laws supports his position that it is a “harmless” error that would not impact the outcome of the trial.

ing to the search warrant affidavit, she kept letters and the Elmer Fudd sketch but refused to surrender the items, claiming, “it was a private matter and didn’t want to share the letters or the sketch.”

“It is evident that Manfre considers and values the items as personal keepsakes,” a detective wrote in the affidavit. Selenski was convicted by a Monroe County jury in July 2009 of robbing and assaulting a

A budget including neither the raise nor the retirement fund contributions failed with the Lackawanna County commissioners voting in favor and the Luzerne County commissioners opposed, and a budget including the retire-

ment contributions but not the salary increase failed with the Luzerne County commissioners in favor and the Lackawanna County commissioners opposed. Petrilla’s compromise budget included the full retirement contributions and a 1.5 percent management salary increase. Petrilla said her husband works for a major corporation which gave its administrative staff the same percentage raise. The Luzerne County Commissioners supported the compro-

mise budget, but the Lackawanna County Commissioners voted it down. Petrilla said the retirement fund contributions must be in the airport budget because the county’s contribution of $130,595.49 was included in the county’s budget. The Lackawanna County commissioners support the pay raise, which administrators haven’t received in three years, but said the airport should reserve some revenue to market the airport to airlines and lobby carri-

ers to drive down their fares. Board Chairman and Luzerne County Commissioner Stephen A. Urban said the board would revisit the budget in July, after the airport’s second-quarter revenue has been tabulated. Assistant Airport Director Michael Conner reported the airport saw a 13 percent increase in passengers in April compared to April 2010 and that the airport has made $42,438 so far in 2011, compared to a loss of $200,718 at this point in 2010.

Opening statements begin in Strong retrial sentencing Prosecution says convicted killer picked up by three motorists while hitchhiking. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – John Strock wasn’t the first motorist to pick up a hitchhiking James Strong and later be threatened and stolen from by Strong, prosecutors say. In fact, Assistant District Attorney Michael Melnick said Thursday the convicted killer was picked up by three other motorists, one of whom Strong stabbed and another he tied to a tree. A Luzerne County jury of nine men and three women began hearing testimony Thursday in the sentencing phase of the retrial being held for Strong, 59, of Mary-

occurred from 2005 to 2008, by establishing a “Ponzi”-style scheme in which she would use money from new clients to cover shortages in the accounts. The scheme unraveled after the housing market hit a slump, causing her business to decline significantly. Sichler’s attorney, Marc Neff, spoke of her community involvement with her church and other civic groups, as well as individual acts of kindness she has shown neighbors. Husband testifies He and Sichler’s husband, Ed, also affirmed Sichler’s claims that the money was not used for personal expenses. “We did not benefit at all in a change of lifestyle,” Ed Sichler told Nealon, noting he drives a six-year-old car with more than 100,000 miles. “That does not diminish what happened. I’m sure she is very sorry for that.” Elizabeth Sichler showed little emotion as she addressed the court, telling Nealon she was “truly sorry” for the financial and emotional impact the thefts had on her clients. “I should have closed the business rather than just keep funding it with funds that weren’t mine,” she said. “I have to live the rest of my life knowing what I’ve done.” The apology was of little consolation to Catherine Hoover Mericle, one of two Sichler victims who testified at sentencing. Fighting back tears at times, Mericle spoke of how she borrowed money from her elderly

land. That same jury on Wednesday convicted Strong of firstdegree murder and other related charges in Strong the August 1983 shooting death of Strock, of Glenside, Pa. Attorneys in the case made opening statements Thursday in the sentencing phase, where jurors will then decide if Strong will spend the rest of his life in prison or receive the death penalty for his crimes. Testimony will resume today. Ernest Oscheltree, of Virginia, testified that on May 28, 1975, he spotted a man, Strong, on the side of the road holding a duffle bag and picked him up.

At gunpoint, Strong then instructed Oscheltree to drive down a dirt road sometime later where Strong bound Oscheltree’s hands, removed his wallet, watch and car keys and tied Oscheltree to a tree with a rope. “(Strong) said, ‘Just give me 20 minutes to get away,’” Oscheltree testified. “Somehow, someway I was able to get loose.” Six years earlier, Charles Graham, of North Carolina, testified he also picked up a hitchhiker on July 12, 1969, Strong, and another man whom Strong said was his friend. After driving a few blocks, Graham said, he was instructed to get out of the car, punched in the head by the other man, and stabbed in the side by Strong. Melnick said in his opening statement that another man, Rus-

Alexander, said that when he asked Strong why he killed Strock, Strong replied: “I’m tired of leaving behind witnesses.” The second aggravating circumstance, Melnick said, can be explained by Strong committing robbery, kidnapping and stealing Strock’s car – all of which he was found guilty of on Wednesday. But, Strong’s attorney, Shelley Centini, said just because her client has made bad decisions, that does not mean he should be sentenced to death by lethal injection. Centini said in her opening statement that she and Strong’s other attorneys, Brian Corcoran and William Watt, will be presenting approximately 30 different mitigating factors to jurors to weigh against prosecutors’ aggravating circumstances. Those mitigating factors, in-

clude frontal lobe and brain stem brain damage from which Strong suffers; that he received head injuries as a child; that he had learning disabilities as a child; a family that constantly moved; that he suffered physical and emotional abuse as a child. Since spending nearly 28 years in jail, Strong has become a role model and father figure to other inmates at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility, and is the first inmate to hold an inmate clerk position in the law library at the county prison, she said. “We’re not offering up (mitigating evidence) as excuses,” Centini said to jurors. “You’ll hear testimony to substantiate them.” Centini said there are three possibilities jurors have in sentencing Strong; but that life in prison is the appropriate choice.

parents in order to save her home, which was part of a divorce proceeding, from foreclosure. Mericle said she thought she would be able to pay them back once the home sold. She later learned Sichler had stolen the $87,000 that had been deposited with her pending distribution of the marital assets following her divorce. “My mom and dad worked their entire lives to put money away to have a nest egg for retirement. Now I can’t pay them back,” Mericle said. Speaking after the hearing, Mericle said she doesn’t believe Sichler’s claims that she did not use the money for personal purposes. “You might lose a couple hundred dollars here or there, but you don’t know what hap-

ness. He questioned Assistant U.S. Attorney Amy Phillips regarding what prosecutors had uncovered. Phillips said investigators had difficulty tracking where the money went because such a large volume was coming in and going out of Sichler’s accounts. She said authorities determined the amount of theft by calculating the bills that had not been paid. “We were unable to determine where specifically the money was diverted. If you don’t know the amount of money embezzled, you can’t follow DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER where it went,” Phillips said. Phillips said investigators Elizabeth Sichler is questioned by the press after exiting the determined there were a total Federal Courthouse in Scranton on Thursday. of 92 victims, but 59 of those Nealon also appeared skepti- were reimbursed for their losspened to two millions dollars? That’s a serious problem,” cal that the money was used es by title insurance compasolely to support Sichler’s busi- nies. Mericle said.

Personal funds lost The other 33 people, including Mericle, lost personal funds. The restitution order requires Sichler to repay the individuals as well as the title insurance companies. Nealon directed that individual victims be paid before the companies. Sichler was permitted to remain free pending her report date, which was set for June 27. She declined comment as she left the courthouse. Mericle said life continues to be a financial struggle, but with the support of family she’s working her way through the difficulties. “Today I decided, when I leave here, somehow, one way or another, I’m going to move on. I have to let it go,” she said.

sell James, also had a run-in with Strong in1969, and that James will be called to testify about his experience after he picked up a hitchhiking Strong. Melnick said there are three factors jurors have to weigh in applying the appropriate sentence in the case – death. Those factors are called aggravating circumstances, and according to prosecutors, include that Strong committed the murder while: Strock was a witness to a crime and was killed to prevent any testimony against Strong; that Strong committed the murder during a felony crime; and that Strong has a history of felony offenses. Melnick said there is clear evidence Strong killed Strock to prevent him from testifying because his one-time co-defendant, James

OTHER OPINION: GRAND JURY STUDY

Make changes to gaming board

OW THAT ALL BUT one of the state’s casino licenses has been awarded and the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board is established, many of the recommendations of a state grand jury that studied the introduction of legalized gambling amount to closing the barn door after the horses have escaped. Nonetheless, this report raises serious questions and offers valuable suggestions. It recounts how the agency, responsible for the state’s casinos and the revenue they were designed to generate, favored the rights of gaming license applicants over protection of the public interest. The result was that significant details about shady relationships, illegal gambling and questionable campaign contributions were deleted before reports were forwarded to the gaming board to inform its decisions. The report singled outthe successful application for the

Mount Airy Casino Resort in the Poconos, whose owner, Louis DeNaples, was indicted later on perjury charges that subsequently were dropped. A problem with the gaming board’s background investigations stemmed from the fact that its employees were under the direction of political appointees who made the licensing decisions. The grand jury, therefore, is on the right track in recommending that an independent investigations bureau be established. What would put even greater distance between investigators and decision-makers would be empowering the state police to do the background checks. Gaming board chairman Greg Fajt’s regard for the grand jury’s findings as “minor missteps” is more evidence that key changes must be made at the agency if Pennsylvanians are to have faith that it is working in the public’s best interest.

Expanded tax credits best benefit education reform THE PENNSYLVANIA House recently passed a significant expansion of the state’s education tax credit program, which allows businesses to claim a tax credit for donations to scholarship funds for low-income children. It already supports choice for more children than any other program in the country, and this legislation will double the available funds. The program is so popular and successful, only four percent of legislators voted against expanding it. While education tax credits command nearly unanimous support, the Senate’s voucher bill is proving divisive for both lawmakers and voters. Senate Bill 1 expands the credit program, but also creates a large new voucher program. Vouchers and tax credits differ in important ways, and Pennsylvanians deserve to have their representatives consider them one at a time. The recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling in ACSTO v. Winn highlights crucial differences. Vouchers are grants of government funds, while tax credits are private funds. And only an expanded education tax credit program would respect the values and preferences of taxpayers by giving them control over how their education dollars are spent. In upholding an education tax credit pro-

MAIL BAG

ADAM B. SCHAEFFER gram in Arizona, the Court held that money spent as a credit against one’s taxes is private money, not government spending like education vouchers. Other taxpayers aren’t harmed by the choice of those claiming credits, because the government isn’t spending collective tax revenue. As Justice Kennedy explained, “a dissenter whose tax dollars are ‘extracted and spent’ knows that he has in some small measure been made to contribute to an establishment in violation of conscience.... (By contrast,) awarding some citizens a tax credit allows other citizens to retain control over their own funds in accordance with their own consciences.” A taxpayer challenging a voucher program would have standing under this decision. The Court would be forced to recognize, in the words of the majority, that the plaintiff “has in some small measure been made to contribute to an establishment in violation of conscience” and therefore had standing in court to proceed with the litigation. At the state level there are greater threats to voucher programs.

COMMENTARY

In 2009, Arizona’s Supreme Court ruled that voucher programs for disabled and foster children violated a state constitutional ban on aid to private schools because it was an expenditure of government funds. That same court previously upheld a state tax credit program because they aren’t government funds. The status of vouchers as government money was key to the decisions overturning Colorado’s voucher program in 2004 and Florida’s in 2006. Many other states have constitutional language and legal precedents that are likely to render voucher, but not tax credit, programs unconstitutional. And more than thirty states look hostile or uncertain on these grounds, including Pennsylvania. Where voucher programs have been passed and still survive, they are more highly regulated because they use government, rather than private funds. Taxpayers, after all, are compelled to finance in some small part all choices made under the program. The impulse to constrict those choices is therefore stronger and the rationale more persuasive Only education reform through tax credits can expand freedom for everyone; children, parents, and even the too-often overlooked taxpayers who foot the bill.

hose who have their hands in the cookie jar should not be in charge of the cookies. Fortunately, a majority of Luzerne County voters seem to agree with that statement. Seven of the 11 members of the county employee ticket deceptively called the “Working Families for Better Government” team were rejected by county voters for good reason. “Working Families” in this case, I believe, refers to government-employee families and “Better Government” means bigger, more expensive government, which taxpayers absolutely cannot afford. I believe most voters understand that elected representatives cannot serve two masters. Many times over the years, at the state, county and school district levels, taxpayers have been sold out by elected officials who reward government employees with overly generous, budget-busting contracts.

It’s right back where it was before the bust. There’s even a hedge fund manager who made $5 billion last year. What more proof do you need?

Misericordia honor cited Flack’s business skill, civic efforts Times Leader staff

On Saturday, May 21, Misericordia University in Dallas Township presented an honorary doctorate to Charles Flack at commencement ceremonies. The award was accepted by his brother, Harold Flack. The commencement was streamed on the Intranet so Flack was able to watch from home. Here is a copy of the citation. “Charles Flack, Jr., as an entrepreneur, civic leader and philanthropist, you have provided invaluable leadership to Misericordia

University and all of Northeastern Pennsylvania for many years. After earning your bachelor’s degree in economics from Susquehanna University, you soon applied your business skills and leadership to Diamond Consolidated Industries as CEO in 1979. Along with your partner and brother Harold, who serves as president, you rescued Diamond from a difficult financial time and have subsequently built it into the largest supplier of perforated metal in North America. Diamond’s products are seen in in-

dustrial, architectural, and design applications around the world. While becoming one of our area’s most successful business leaders, you demonstrated your immense capacity for servant leadership by directing numerous non-profit organizations in Wyoming Valley and beyond. You received the Community Service Award from B’nai B’rith for unselfish giving and promoting the highest interests of humanity. You also earned the Luzerne Foundation’s Mary Bevevino

Community Service Award and you and your family received the Outstanding Philanthropist Award from the Association of Fund Raising Professionals. You serve as Chairman of your prep school alma mater, Wyoming Seminary and you served as chairman of the Luzerne Foundation. You also chaired the Board of Wyoming Valley Health Care System and remain as chair of the Apple Seed Foundation which supports health and education related initiatives in Luzerne County. Misericordia benefited directly

from your expertise and leadership as a member of the Board of Trustees for a combined 15 years and you continue to serve today as chair of the board’s investment committee. You helped transition Misericordia during pivotal years to the nationally recognized and regionally acclaimed University it is today and take justifiable pride in its accomplishments. Mr. Flack, you have accomplished much in your professional career. Your innate abilities and desire to succeed, combined with your caring for others, reflect the

values of a Misericordia education and those of our founders and sponsors, the Sisters of Mercy. Along with your wife, Kathi Stine Flack, and children, Chad, Jamie and Alex, Misericordia is proud to call you neighbor and friend. And so by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Board of Trustees of Misericordia University, I do hereby confer upon Charles “Rusty” Flack, Jr., the honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, Honoris Causa, with all the rights, honors and privileges thereto appertaining.”

the scenes. He said so much of what Flack has done is known, but even more impressive is how much Flack has done away from the spotlight. “He’s continuously doing for people without recognition,” Marino said. “He was always looking for ways to make his country and his community better.” ‘Giving back’ attitude Charles Barber, of the Luzerne Foundation, said Flack was raised understanding “the importance of giving back.” “He cared,” Barber said. “He was committed to anything that could possibly change this community and he did it all with a smile and an attitude that we could make this work.” Michael A. MacDowell, the president at Misericordia University, where Flack served as a trustee for 15 years, said Flack had a can-do attitude that was always on display. “He never said something couldn’t be done. He only asked how we could get it done,” MacDowell said. When Flack’s father, Charles D. Flack, Sr., died in 1979, a 24-yearold Flack Jr. took the helm of Diamond Manufacturing Co. in West Wyoming. He steered the company through tough financial times into an award-winning firm. It received the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Business and Industry’s Small Business of the Year Award in 1998 and was listed as one of the Best Places to Work in Pennsylvania in 2001. Flack, who ran the business with his brother Harold, sold the company last year to Los Angeles-based Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. Dan Meuser, the Pennsylvania secretary of revenue and a15-year friend of Flack’s, said the valley “lost a pillar of the community.” He said Flack, who took any opportunity he got to show off his singing and guitar-playing skills, always had time for his best friends and those he just met. Touching on a common theme those who spoke about Flack mentioned, Meuser noted how Flack was ahead of his time. “He was a giver. He knew the importance of being involved in the community,” Meuser said. “He knew it before it was fashionable.” “Rusty had a gift for being able to connect with people, be it a U.S. president or wealthy businessman, a factory worker or farmer,” said Renita Fennick, a former journalist and executive director of the Luzerne County GOP, who now is press secretary for Marino and a long-time friend of Flack. “He was equally comfortable with all of them and most importantly, they were comfortable with him.”

DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER

Commitment to community Part of what makes a healthy community is a strong, locally owned newspaper. And Flack made sure Luzerne County had one when he became a founding member of the local investment group that joined Richard L. Connor in purchasing The Times Leader in 2006. It was when Connor first became publisher of the paper in 1978 that he met Flack. “I could say that everyone who is reading this newspaper owes Rusty Flack a debt of gratitude for leading the investment group for me which returned The Times Leader to local ownership,” said Connor, editor and publisher of The Wilkes-Barre Publishing Co., the parent company of The Times Leader. “That invokes an image of our friendship and business partnerships but our relationship is more than that,” he said. “My family and I have lost one of our best friends. His unselfish and dynamic leadership, keen intelligence, caring, commitment and sense of compassion in this community will continue touching lives for decades. The shadow he cast is long. Few of his kind will likely walk in our midst again. “In these days that follow, we will hear his many acquaintances say they just lost their best friend, holding onto that term as if they and they alone had him as a best friend,” said Connor. “Beautifully, all of them will be right.” Dr. Robert Clements, a Back Mountain dentist and Flack’s longtime friend, who grew up and graduated from Wyoming Seminary with Flack, said that while there are hundreds of stories people know about Flack’s generosity, “there are hundreds of stories of things nobody knows, that he didn’t want anybody to know.” Clements, like all of those interviewed for this story, said Flack could have an abundance of adjectives attached to his name that would be true and accurate but the one he was perhaps most proud of would have been “family man.”

Cornelio Catena, the president and chief executive officer at the Wyoming Valley Health Care System, said Flack’s mark will be long-lasting. “His philanthropic, humanitarian and volunteer activities and awards, which are too numerous to detail here, reflect the richness of his life and his genuine concern for others,” Catena wrote in a memo sent to all system employees Thursday. “He will be sorely missed, but his legacy as a community and business leader, visionary, humanitarian and philanthropist will live on.” Frank Henry, chairman of the Martz Group, has known Flack for 30 years. He said the region lost “a gentleman, a leader who was well-respected at all levels of our community. He was respected by all because he helped all.” While Flack had the financial resources to make a difference, many said he didn’t just write checks. “Not only did he give his financial support, but he gave a lot of hours and a lot of energy,” said Charles Parente, chief executive officer of Pagnotti Enterprises Inc., who has handled financial issues for the Flack family for decades. “He was someone who led

by example.” Flack had managed to lead an inspirational, courageous fight against his cancer for almost two years but became suddenly ill last weekend. Over the span of a few days his condition rapidly deteriorated. While Flack had family and business obligations, and an untold amount of time spent on community boards and at functions, Meuser said, “Rusty never complained that he was too busy.” And he never really complained -- period, said Barber. “Just think about what his condition has been the last two years. But he never complained. He just kept going,” Barber said. Barber said the valley “has lost something that is irreplaceable.”

In his second start for SWB, he went seven innings,

Krum said he expected Hermida to hit the ball well, so he decided to play a few steps back. But he turned wrong on the line drive and had to react quickly to correct himself.

“The ball got on me a lot quicker than I expected,” Krum said. “I was lucky to get to it. As long as you catch the ball, that’s all that matters.” After yielding a base hit to Devin Mesoraco, Silva ended the Bats seventh inning threat by getting Danny Dorn to fly out to Krum and coercing a force out See YANKEES, Page 8B

No lightning strike

Veteran golf coach passed away unexpectedly on Thursday at Geisinger. By RYAN KONOPKI For The Times Leader

Whether it was teaching his players how to refine their swing or acting as a role model for younger individuals, Tom Tryba, Sr. seemed to make a profound impact on the lives of the people he knew. “He was like a second father to me,” said Holy Redeemer head golf coach Art Brunn, Jr. “He was always a guy we looked up to.” Tryba Tryba, one of the most iconic high school golf figures in the area, passed away unexpectedly yesterday at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Township. He was 72. He is survived by his wife and three children. His son Ted won a state golf championship at Hanover Area, was an all-American at Ohio State and played for several years on the PGA Tour. Tryba’s 37 years as golf coach in the Wyoming Valley, his last seven were at Hanover from 2003-09, inspired the hundreds of golfers he coached and those around him, according to Brunn. “He was a good man,” said Brunn. “He loved coaching with the kids. He did a lot of good things for high school golfers.” “Tom was the hardest working guy that I know. He did tons of work; he just never stopped. He had just the old anthracite mining-type of work ethic,” he said. The annual WVC Tom Tryba Preseason Tournamnent was named in his honor in 2002. “He was a great coach and a great teacher,” said Len Coleman, recalling Tryba’s competitiveness and humility during his own 35year stretch as the Warriors head man before retiring in June. “My sympathy, thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and family.” Crestwood head coach Mark Jarolen said no one could compare to Tryba’s personality and affection. “He was one of the finest people I’ve ever known,” Jarolen said. “As far as character goes, it doesn’t get any better than Tom.” Funeral arrangements are pending from the Charles V. Sherbin Funeral Home in Hanover Township.

Envisioning sports world of Dos Equis

I do, however, find Dos Equis’ “most interesting man in the world” to be rather, well, interesting. I’m sure the Dos Equis folks would insist that their man has no equal, but I’ve been wondering what the sporting equivalent of the bearded wonder would be like. Now, I think I know. Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to introduce to you the most interesting man in the sports world: When he sees athletes giving 110 percent, he gets upset that they’re not trying as hard as he does. He needs only three at-bats to hit for the cycle. His teammates wear his name on the front of their jerseys because they play for him. His games never get delayed by rain. He has never misspelled “Krzyzewski.” If he were a replay official, he wouldn’t need the replay to get the call correct. His golf ball never hits the rotating windmill at the minigolf course. He knows if it’s a first down before they stretch the chains. Peyton Manning would never audible out of a play he’s called. When he goes skeet shooting, he yells “Pull!” and the target explodes on its own. His par is one shot lower than everyone else’s. His ERA is impressive even before you divide by total innings pitched. He once actually saw a hockey puck go into the net. He could determine a baseball team’s magic number in preschool. If he wanted, he could invoke the mercy rule before the game even starts. He predicted the Dallas Mavericks would sweep the Los Angeles Lakers. He’s never converted a 7-10 split—because he’s never needed to. In a track meet, he once lapped a competitor on the first lap. Hockey goalies fear him so much that every goal he scores is an empty-netter. He is so good at time management that he doesn’t need to retire from sports so he can spend more time with his family. At bowling alleys, he corrects automatic pinsetters. When he sees “Breaking See THOMAS, Page 5B

Broken leg might sideline Posey for season Giants fans stunned by home plate collision The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Buster Posey was carted through a tunnel at AT&T Park on Thursday, a makeshift cast covering his left ankle and no emotion on his face. Not exactly the exit the cornerstone of the World Series champion Giants wanted this season. A night after Florida’s Scott Cousins crashed into him at home plate, San Francisco’s star catcher was put on the disabled list with a fractured bone in his lower left leg, likely ending his season and putting a major dent in the Giants’ chances of a repeat. Posey was on his way for a scheduled MRI to make sure there wasn’t more damage.

“You just don’t replace a guy like Buster Posey,” said Giants manager Bruce Bochy, a former catcher who was so stricken by the news he called on Major League Baseball to review rule changes for collisions at the plate. As word spread throughout the Giants clubhouse, players began to come to grips with what Posey’s injury meant. The normally blaring speakers near bearded closer Brian Wilson’s locker were uncharacteristically silent. Televisions were turned off. No one was playing dominoes or card games. Hard to imagine a more important position player than Posey to replace.

Lee leads Phils to rout of Reds The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Cliff Lee drove in three runs and worked eight effective innings, leading the Philadelphia Phillies to a 10-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday. Raul Ibanez hit a three-run homer, and Chase Utley also connected to help the Phillies take three of four from the Reds. The teams were playing with little rest following a 19-inning game ended at 1:19 a.m. with a 5-4 Phillies victory on Thursday, after 6 hours, 11 minutes and 600 pitches. Lee (4-4) threw 114 pitches in eight innings. But his biggest contributions came at the plate. The Phillies loaded the bases with no outs in the sixth inning against Daryl Thompson (0-1), who had made his major league debut an inning earlier. Lee (4-4) followed a walk to catcher Dane Sardinha with a first-pitch double over center fielder Drew Stubbs’s head. It bounced over the fence for a ground-rule double. An inning later, Lee’s single up the middle scored John Mayberry Jr. Lee became the first Phillies pitcher to drive in three runs since Cory Lidle, on Sept. 4,

2004, against the Mets. Marlins 1, Giants 0

SAN FRANCISCO — Anibal Sanchez threw a five-hitter for another complete game in San Francisco, leading Florida past a Giants team still stunned by the loss of Buster Posey. A day after the star catcher broke his lower left leg when Scott Cousins crashed into him at the plate — likely ending Posey’s season — the Marlins finished off a three-game sweep. Cubs 9, Mets 3

CHICAGO — Carlos Zambrano pitched six strong innings, went 3 for 3 at the plate and drove in a run in Chicago’s victory over New York. Zambrano (5-2) allowed two runs — one earned — on six hits and two walks while picking up his first win at Wrigley Field since Sept. 4. He doubled and scored a run, and has four hits in his last four at-bats to raise his average to .375. Carlos Pena hit a two-run homer in the fourth for Chicago. The Mets lost starter R.A. Dickey to a heel injury in the third when he fell trying to cover first base.

Posey has been San Francisco’s cleanup hitter, a team leader in the clubhouse and key cog behind the plate for one of baseball’s best rotations. The reigning NL Rookie of the Year was batting .284 with four home runs and 21 RBIs, just finding his groove in the midst of a 13-game hitting streak to move the Giants into first place in the NL West. “It’s part of baseball, I understand that, guys running into catchers. Being a catcher, I’ve been in a few of them. You’re in harm’s way there,” Bochy said. “I think we do need to consider changing the rules here a little bit because the catcher is so vulnerable and there’s so many who have gotten hurt. And not just a

little bit, had their careers ended or shortened. And here’s a guy who’s very popular in baseball. Fans want to see him play. “Now he’s out for a while.” The loss of Posey will be an enormous hurdle for the Giants to overcome if they want to repeat as champs. Backup Eli Whiteside will be Posey’s immediate replacement. The team also put infielder Mike Fontenot (left groin strain) and utility man Darren Ford (left ankle sprain) on the 15-day disabled list. Slugger Brandon Belt and catcher Chris Stewart were recalled from Triple-A Fresno, and infielder Brandon Crawford was called up from Class-A San Jose.

T H I S D A T E I N B A S E B A L L May 27 1937 — Carl Hubbell, working in relief for the New York Giants, won his 24th straight game over two seasons. Hubbell pitched two innings and Mel Ott hit a ninth-inning home run to beat the Cincinnati Reds 3-2. Hubbell’s string started July 17, 1936. 1955 — Norm Zauchin of the Boston Red Sox knocked in 10 runs with three home runs and a double in the first five innings of a 16-0 victory over the Washington Senators. 1960 — Baltimore catcher Clint Courtney used the “big mitt” for the first time to catch knuckleball pitcher Hoyt Wilhelm. The mitt, designed by Paul Richards, was 50 percent larger than the standard. Nothing got by Courtney as the Orioles beat the New York Yankees 3-2.

Einhorn buys part of Mets Hedge fund manager pays $200 million for minority interest in troubled team.

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — The cashstrapped owners of the New YorkMetsagreedtosellaminority share of the team to hedge fundmanagerDavidEinhornfor $200 million, with the new partner predicting the club’s financial situation will improve. The announcement Thursday would allow owners Fred and Jeff Wilpon and Saul Katz to retain control of the team, which hasbeendamaged by the Bernard Madoff scandal. Einhorn The influx of money would help pay debts and cover operating expenses. It was not clear how much of the team Einhorn will own. He emphasized his stake was a minority one and that he wouldn’t oversee the team’s payroll or budget. “I don’t expect to have control over any of those topics,” he said in a conference call. As for the Mets, he added: “I do expect the financial fortunes to improve over time.” Wilpon told Sports Illustrated this week his team is “bleeding cash” and could lose up to $70 million this year. Enter Einhorn, the president of the private investment firm Greenlight Capital, Inc. “I’m very comfortable with the financial arrangement,” said Einhorn, who grew up in New Jersey as a Mets fan and recalled wearing a Mets costume for Halloween when he was about 7 years old. “I expect to be involved with this a very long time.” “I can’t really say I have any particular concerns,” he said. Einhorn didn’t speculate whether he would eventually put more of his money into the Mets. “This is the transaction,” he said. “What happens beyond that we’ll have to take care of down the line.” The Mets said Einhorn will be a “preferred partner” and have a “nonoperating investment” in the team. The club said the deal is subject to the “negotiation of a mutually acceptable definitive agreement” and is expected to be completed next month. Major League Baseball must give its approval. Einhorn said he first met Fred Wilpon during this sale process. Einhorn has long known Bud Selig, having moved to the baseball commissioner’s hometown of Milwaukee when he was a boy. Einhorn said his best childhood friend lived next door to the Selig family. When he played ball at his pal’s house, Einhorn recalled, “if we hit it very, very far it went into the Seligs’ yard.”

between our legs and go away, but we didn’t do that,” said Hazleton Area coach Gino Cara, whose Cougars lost to Scranton in last year’s district championship. “We came back and we brought the go-ahead run to the plate. … We figured we had a shot.” That they did. Down six runs in the sixth, the Cougars put two runners aboard before getting an RBI single from John Medvecky. Matt Barletta drove in another on a groundout and, after a wild pitch moved Medvecky over to third, George Nikonenko made it 7-4 with a single. Scranton starter Mike Miller got the first two outs of the seventh before Carl Cara singled to end Miller’s day just short of a complete-game. Tyler Rubasky followed with a single against Navoczynski and Medvecky drew a walk, with a wild pitch on ball four allowing Cara to score from third to make it 7-5. That brought up the Cougars’ top hitter in Barletta, but Navoczynski came up with a strikeout to end the game.. “We don’t blow anybody out,” Scranton coach Jamie Higgins said. “We have 14 wins, but in 12 of those, we were (trailing). So we’ve been in close games be-

fore, and we’re starting to come together.” Kyle Booth (2-for-2, triple, 2 RBI) opened the scoring with an RBI single in the first. Scranton’s lead expanded to 3-0 in the fourth thanks to a well-placed bunt by John Pizur with two men on. Pizur beat out the throw at first, which sailed wide of the bag and allowed two runs to come home. Nikonenko (3-for-3, two RBI) got the Cougars on the board with a solo home run to left to lead off the fifth. “We left it out on the field all year long,” Gino Cara said. “This team has nothing to be ashamed of – they should be proud of their season. “They played hard.

said Thomas. “I’m kind of happy for that. If we started the whole new game over after the delay, I think the momentum would have shifted our way. I think it would’ve been a different outcome.” After going through the first five innings with just one hit, Hanover Area’s bats woke up in the sixth inning with scoring two runs on RBI hits by Danielle Tuzinski and Emily O’Day. Like it had been all season, the Hawkeyes were once again plagued by their inability to hit with runners in scoring position. Hanover Area left two runners aboard and the tying run at the plate when Riverside’s Heather Derenick recorded a strikeout to end the sixth inning. “Our bats have been flat all year,” said Thomas. “We’ve been hitting the ball well in practice, but can’t hit when it comes to high-pressure situations. We just can’t hit the ball with runners on base. We get too nervous, too anxious, too worried about what’s going to happen” The Hawkeyes were held in check by Derenick, who struck out nine in seven innings. She allowed no earned runs and five hits. The Vikings’ Morgann Haduck connected for three hits and the game’s first run. Derenick helped her cause with two RBI. “We hit pretty well; I think we can hit better,” said Riverside coach Joe Helcoski. “Pitching in our league is about similar to this. Morgann (Haduck) set the tone with big hits early.” Tuzinski had two doubles, a run and an RBI for the Hawkeyes. Britney McNair doubled in the sixth. “We haven’t been hitting the ball very well all season,” said Thomas. “There’s not much you can do when the other team is hitting the ball and we’re not.” Riverside 5, Hanover Area 2 Riverside

Berwick versus Coughlin – Round 4. This one will definitely result in a knockout. The two teams that established themselves as the elite in Wyoming Valley Conference girls soccer will meet at 6:30 p.m. today at Lake-Lehman High School for the District 2 championship. Admission is $6 for adults and $4 for students. It will be a winner-take-all game as only the D2 champion advances to the condensed PIAA tournament. The PIAA knocked down spring girls soccer to one classification for the first time since the 2006 season. During the four years of two classes, the WVC advanced four teams in 2007 and 2008 and three in 2009 and 2010. Whichever team moves on will be back at Lehman on Wednesday, playing the District 3 sixth seed – either Manhein Twp. (13-6-2) or Lower Dauphin (17-5). The first meeting of the two teams resulted in a 4-1 victory by Berwick (14-1-1) on April 1, but it should probably be thrown out as an indicator of what to expect. Not only was it the first game for Coughlin (132-1), but also the first time the Crusaders were outside due to horrible weather that soaked their home field. The next two, though, were classic matchups. Coughlin won 3-2 on May 3 on Marissa Lercara’s goal two minutes into overtime. Lindsey Humanik’s goal with five minutes left in regulation sent the game, which was physical throughout, to the extra period. The teams finished tied for the WVC Division 1-A title and played 16 days later in a special playoff game. It was Berwick’s turn to strike late as Karleigh Hartman scored her first goal of the season in the 73rd minute for a 1-0 victory. Hartman has been a pleasant surprise for Berwick as she scored four more goals in the D2 playoffs. But there’s no doubt who’s the Dawgs’ go-to player – senior Bella Jaffin. Jaffin, a cinch to be a rare fourtime Times Leader All-WVC selection, scored a WVC-high 29 goals during the regular season. Sophomore Caty Davenport added 12 goals and Abby Takacs had a WVC-leading 10 assists. Coughlin’s offense isn’t as top heavy with Ivy Nulton (9 goals), Nora Fazzi (6 goals) Brittany Kulesza (5 goals) Olivia Spagnola (5 goals) and Lercara (4 goals) leading the Crusaders’ run to the postseason. Both teams have veteran keepers – Berwick’s Sarah Wilczynski and Coughlin’s Amanda Sax. Berwick, though, has one of the best defenders in the WVC, sophomore Kelly Sheptock who was an all-WVC selection as a freshman. Neither team has allowed a goal in the tournament. Coughlin will be seeking its first district championship since 2006. A victory would give the Crusaders a record seventh district title. They are tied with Dallas in that department. Dallas had its string of six in a row ended with a 2-0 loss to Coughlin in the semifinals. Berwick will be going for its first district title since winning the Class 3A crown in 2008.

FRENCH OPEN

Clijsters upset by Rus in second-round action

Belgium star blames herself for shocking collapse By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer

PARIS — There were plenty of excuses available for Kim Clijsters after a stunning collapse in the second round of the French Open against a woman ranked 114th. In assessing her 3-6, 7-5, 6-1 loss to Arantxa Rus of the Netherlands on Thursday, the second-seeded Clijsters could have pointed to her heavily taped right ankle, which she hurt while dancing barefoot at her cousin’s wedding last month. In recounting how she managed to waste two match points and drop 11 of the last 12 games after leading 5-2 in the second set, the Belgian could have mentioned that she last entered the French Open in 2006, and had played a total of five clay-court matches anywhere since. And in explaining her 65 unforced errors — 43 more than her opponent made

— and 10 double-faults, Clijsters could have reminded everyone that she hadn’t competed at all since late March because of that bum ankle and previous injuries to her right shoulder and wrist. Instead, the winner of the last two Grand Slam titles, and four overall, pointed a finger squarely at herself and an odd crisis of confidence. “I started doubting a little bit,” said Clijsters, the French Open runner-up in 2001 and 2003. “When you start doubting yourself on any surface — but for me, definitely on clay — it’s the wrong attitude to have.” The 27-year-old Clijsters also gave credit to the 20-year-old Rus, who entered the day with a 3-4 career record in major tournaments and only twice before had been to Court Philippe Chatrier — and those visits were as a spectator. After delivering one of the most surprising tennis results in recent years, Rus acknowledged she was nervous at

the outset, perhaps because Clijsters is one of her favorite players, someone she used to cheer for when watching on TV. “She obviously started building up more confidence, started playing a lot better, and was really kind of putting me on my back foot all the time,” Clijsters said. “I couldn’t really play my aggressive tennis anymore in that third set.” A similar scenario played out later in that stadium Thursday, except it was the heavy favorite, three-time major champion Maria Sharapova, who appeared to be down and out against an inexperienced kid, 17-year-old French wild-card entry Caroline Garcia, before reeling off the final 11 games to win 3-6, 6-4, 6-0. “Look,” the seventh-seeded Sharapova said, “it could have easily gone the other way.” She said she had trouble dealing with wind that gusted at upward of 20 mph, making the balls move unexpectedly at times and occasionally kicking up

clouds of loose clay into players’ eyes. Those conditions led to this bon mot from Rafael Nadal: “If you play good, seems like much less wind. If you are playing bad, seems like a hurricane.” The five-time French Open champion wasn’t forced to work nearly as hard as he did in getting past John Isner in five sets Tuesday, but Nadal was hardly satisfied after beating 48th-ranked Pablo Andujar of Spain 7-5, 6-3, 7-6 (4). “I am not playing that well,” said Nadal, who has spent 7 hours, 19 minutes on court. “I am not happy, but I am here.” He needed to erase eight set points after trailing 5-1 in the third against Andujar, who said he thinks Nadal is “going through perhaps a period of doubt.” Also reaching the third round were past Grand Slam finalists Robin Soderling and Andy Murray, along with No. 10 Mardy Fish, the last U.S. man in the field. Six seeded men lost: No. 8 Jurgen Melzer of Austria, No. 20 Florian Mayer of

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Trojans’ appeal denied by NCAA By GREG BEACHAM AP Sports Writer

LOS ANGELES — Southern California acknowledges its football program committed NCAA violations while building a West Coast dynasty over the past decade. The Trojans simply believe last year’s nearly unprecedented punishment didn’t fit the crime. Athletic director Pat Haden wasn’t surprised to learn Thursday that the NCAA disagrees. The NCAA flatly rejected USC’s appeal to reduce sanctions imposed on its storied football program, keeping in place the harshest penalties leveled against a school in a quarter-century. USC must serve the second year of its two-year postseason ban this fall, making the Trojans ineligible for the first Pac-12 title game or a bowl game. USC also will lose 30 scholarships over the next three years, giving them just 15 available scholarships per season — 10 below the normal yearly limit — until 2015. Haden led a chorus of exasperated resignation at Heritage Hall after the NCAA’s final ruling on its punitive sanctions for a variety of misdeeds surrounding Heisman Trophy-winning tailback Reggie Bush. “We have to look at ourselves in the mirror here,” said Haden, who took over the athletic department last July. “We could have and should have done things better. We had a player who knowingly did things wrong. We are not innocent here. We deserve some penalties, but it’s the severity of the penalties that we think are unfair.” While disappointment spread throughout campus

When he’s on the ice, his team always is on the power play. His dart board has only the bull’s eye. His “if necessary” games are never necessary. The youth baseball team he coached once had a six-run inning in a league with a five-run limit. If he wasn’t busy on weekends, he would end Jimmie Johnson’s championships streak. He knows why college baseball teams have coach-

and in the Pac-10 offices upstate, the Trojans also expressed relief their half-decade of NCAA drama finally was over. Haden confirmed USC won’t sue the NCAA to further contest the most extensive sanctions handed out since SMU football was shut down for two years by the so-called “death penalty” in 1987. “Clearly, I’m very disappointed, but I’m not surprised,” Haden said. “I think the appeals committee is a group of fair-minded folks. We just vehemently disagree with the result, with how they saw our argument, and how past precedent didn’t play a role in their decision.” After a brief team meeting in which coach Lane Kiffin cautioned his players not to spout off about the decision on social media, the Trojans took the expected news in stride. Haden had predicted bad news for the players, who were years away from attending USC when Bush apparently accepted lavish illegal benefits from two aspiring sports marketers. “Just like Pat and the rest of the university, we don’t agree, but we’ll deal with what we’re dealt,” quarterback Matt Barkley said. The NCAA refused to comment beyond its public report, which said it found “no basis on which to reverse the pertinent findings.” The NCAA conducted a four-year investigation primarily into the murky dealings around Bush, who returned his Heisman last year after the NCAA’s ruling. USC was banned from postseason play last season after going 8-5 in Kiffin’s first campaign, but the scholarship limitations were postponed on appeal.

es but professional teams have managers. He does P90X to warm up for and warm down after triathlons. Monday Night Football’s ratings started declining when he stopped watching. He threw strikes even before Babe Ruth was dead. He tells the fat lady when to sing. When he goes bird hunting, he always bags his limit despite shooting with blanks. He pulled off a double steal ... by himself. He drafts himself in fantasy leagues. He can get the assist and score on the same play. Working by himself, he would have had the temporary seats in place in time for Super Bowl XLV. David Thomas is a columnist for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

from Michael Griffin. Three relievers pitched the final two innings, with Kevin Whelan notching his leagueleading 14th save. Whelan came on in the bottom of the 8th when the score was 3-0 and the Bats had runners on the corners. From behind third base, Brandon Laird snagged a hard hit bouncer off Todd Frazier’s bat, and threw out Frazier from behind the third base bag. “Our defense definitely stepped it up tonight,” Krum said. SWB tacked on a run in the eighth and two runs in the ninth to put the game away. All of those came off Aroldis Chapman, who is on a rehabilitation assignment for the Cincinnati Reds. Still, Chapman had his moments, dazzling the crowd with a 102 miles-per-hour fastball and striking out five. In all, SWB struck out 14 times. Jesus Montero and Vazquez – the team’s three and four hitters – struck out four times each. But the Yankees pounded out 14 hits, three by Dan Brewer and two each by Justin Maxwell, Laird and Kevin Russo. Russo also drove in two. Brewer started the Yankees

jury. “He’s seeing our doctors again today,” Boucher said. “And he’s going to have another evaluation tonight and tomorrow morning. And we’ll see. But right now it doesn’t necessarily look like something positive for us.” The Bruins spent most of this season trying to forget what happened in last year’s playoffs, when the Flyers rallied from a 3-0 deficit to force a seventh game and then trailed 3-0 in Game 7 before winning to advance to the conference finals. Boston swept Philadelphia this year in Round 2, but that doesn’t mean Bruins fans are ready to get comfortable when the team gets a big lead. In Game 4, with Boston already leading the series 2-1, the Bruins opened up a 3-0 lead before allowing five unanswered goals. The Bruins also led 3-2 in the series, with a 2-1 lead after one period of Game 6 on Wednesday night, before the Lightning scored three in a row and eventually won 5-4. That sent the teams back to Boston for Game 7. “When it all comes down to one game, I think the pressure is on both teams,” Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron said. “You shouldn’t allow pressure to get into your head. Just go out there and play your game.” Although the Bruins can call upon their experience in Game 7 against Montreal in the first round, Tampa Bay is much more familiar with elimination games. The Lightning fell behind the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-1 in the first round before winning three straight to advance; Wednesday’s victory over Boston made them 4-0 this season in elimination games.

offense, singling off Scott Carroll (2-2) with one out in the fifth and scoring on Gustavo Molina’s double to deep centerfield. In the next inning, after Montero and Vazquez went down on strikes, Maxwell drew a walk, followed by singles from Laird and Russo to make it 2-0. “We got some timely hits,” manager Dave Miley said. “Strikeouts are commonplace for us. But these guys who strike out also give us a chance to win.” That’s all the offense Silva would need. Despite making 180 major league starts, this was only his second start ever in AAA ball. How many more he’ll have for SWB is uncertain at this point. Not that he’s worried about that, though. “The only thing I have to worry about is doing my job,” Silva said.

Miami Heat forward LeBron James, right, looks to drive against Chicago Bulls forward Luol Deng during the second quarter of Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals Thursday in Chicago.

Heat headed to Finals The Associated Press

CHICAGO — LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh joined to win a championship. Well, now they have their shot. James scored 28 points, Wade added 21, and they led a furious rally in the final minutes as the Miami Heat eliminated Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls 8380 in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals on Thursday. James and Wade were simply spectacular down the stretch, each scoring eight during a game-ending 18-3 run as Miami wiped out a 12-point deficit to win the series. Now, the Heat are headed back to the NBA finals for the first time since 2006, and in a fitting twist, they’ll be facing the Mavericks. Back then, with

Wade leading the way, Miami beat Dallas to capture the championship. This time, it’ll be James and Dirk Nowitzki going for their first rings. The Heat will host Game 1 on Tuesday night. For Miami’s Big Three, this was the plan right from the start. The Heat had their difficulties along the way, but look at them now. They just knocked off the team that won more games than any other, that boasted the league’s MVP in Rose and sent expectations soaring around Chicago in a way not seen since Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen were racking up championships. Rose led Chicago with 25

points but hit just 9 of 29 shots. He fouled Wade on a key fourpoint play and missed a tying free throw with 26.7 seconds left. James had 11 rebounds and six assists. Wade’s late surge helped negate his nine turnovers. Bosh added 20 points and 10 rebounds as the Heat pulled out a dramatic win. The Bulls looked like they were in good shape up 77-65 with about three minutes to go, but Wade started the deciding run with a runner and layup. A 3 by James pulled Miami within 77-72 with 2:07 left. Rose then scored on a spin move in the lane, but fouled Wade as he nailed a 3, resulting in a fourpoint play.

NFL

NFL: Court must honor labor law

The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — The NFL hasn’t wavered in this message to its locked-out players: Get out of the courts and come back to the bargaining table. Reiterating that mantra, lawyers for the league issued written arguments Thursday that a recent legal response by players does not dispel “serious doubts” previously expressed by an appeals court about a federal judge’s order that the lockout end immediately. Repeatedly during this dragged-out, employer-employee dispute over the future of this lucrative, ever-popular professional sport, the NFL has insisted the only path to a new agreement is through face-to-face talks. In the league’s reply brief, which again urged the 8th U.S.

Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn Minnesota-based U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson’s April 25 decision to lift the lockout, it claimed anew Thursday that the NFL Players Association shed union status only as a tactic to gain leverage through an antitrust lawsuit filed in Nelson’s court. “No student of the history of this industry — and no one familiar with the NFLPA leadership’s very recent statements of purpose and intent — believes that the Union is gone, let alone gone forever,” attorneys for the NFL wrote. The appeals court put a stay May 16 on Nelson’s ruling, when it expressed those “serious doubts” about the legality of Nelson’s ruling. That stay kept the work stoppage in place until the process is complete, and will

hear oral arguments from each side in St. Louis on June 3. The NFL also asked the appeals court Thursday to “make clear that the solution” to this impasse “lies with the labor laws and not in the antitrust courts.” Last Friday, just minutes before the midnight deadline, lawyers for the players filed their response to the league’s original appeal. In that document, the players described the NFL as a “cartel” that has skirted antitrust laws and damaged their careers with this work stoppage that has lasted more than two months. In Thursday’s rebuttal of those arguments, the league repeated its belief that Nelson’s lockoutlifting injunction was illegal because of legislation prohibiting the courts from intervening in labor disputes.

Byron Nelson Championship IRVING, Texas — Jeff Overton shot a bogey-free 6-under 64 to take a one-stroke lead over Ryan Palmer after the first round of the Byron Nelson Championship. A year after tying for second at TPC Four Seasons, Overton began his back nine with four birdies in a seven-hole stretch. He had his best score in 15 career rounds at the Nelson, even after his 22-foot birdie attempt on the closing hole lipped out. Sergio Garcia, who withdrew from a British Open qualifier earlier this week and didn’t even play a practice round because of an infected fingernail on his left hand, was two strokes back at 66 along with Dustin Johnson, Jeff Quinney, Scott Piercy, Will Strickler, Chris Riley, Josh Teater, Joe Ogilvie and Keegan Bradley. Senior PGA Championship LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Japan’s Kiyoshi Murota shot a 6-under 66 to overshadow stars such as Mark O’Meara and Tom Watson and grab the first-round lead in the weather-plagued Senior PGA Championship. After a 90-minute delay at the start of the round and a later suspension of play that lasted more than 3 hours, half the field was still on the course when darkness fell. Those 78 players will hit Valhalla Golf Club early Friday to complete the first round. Murota had a one-shot lead over alternate Trevor Dodds, with former Masters and British Open winner O’Meara another stroke back after a 68. Watson, an eight-time major champion, shot a 70. Murota’s 66 was built around a short game that consistently helped him avoid trouble. He had four sand saves and 11 one-putt greens without a bogey.

VIRGINIA WATER, England — Luke Donald shot a 7-under 64 on Thursday to take the lead in the suspended first round of the BMW PGA Championship, leaving him eight strokes ahead of No. 1 Lee Westwood in their battle for the top spot in the world ranking. Donald mastered the wet and windy conditions on Wentworth’s West Course to match his lowest European Tour round. He had five birdies in a seven-hole stretch and finished with eight birdies and a bogey. The secondranked Englishman needs to outperform Westwood to take the top spot. Matteo Manassero, the Italian star who became the youngest winner on the European Tour at 17 years, 188 days last October, shot a 66 to tie for second with Sweden’s Johan Edfors. Play was interrupted for 36 minutes because of lightning and the round was suspended because of fading light with five groups still on the course. Sweden’s Oscar Floren was 4 under with four holes to play. Ian Poulter, coming off a victory over Donald on Sunday in the World Match Play Championship, and fellow Englishman Ross McGowan were four strokes back at 68 along with Bradley Dredge and Jose Manuel Lara.

BEDFORD, Mass. — The Boston Bruins thought they excised the specter of last season’s postseason collapse when they finished off the Philadelphia Flyers in the Eastern Conference semifinals this year. Yet here they are again, one round later, trying to turn back another comeback. The Bruins will play the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 7 of the conference finals on Friday night, with the winner earning a chance to play the Vancouver Canucks for the Stanley Cup. But Boston could have avoided a winner-take-all predicament if it had merely protected a three-goal lead in Game 4; scored more than one power-play goal a week in the playoffs; or kept Tampa Bay from scoring, as often as not, in the first 90 seconds of the game. “We’ve got a Game 7, it’s at home, and we’re one game away from the Stanley Cup finals. Why shouldn’t we be excited?” coach Claude Julien said Thursday after stepping off the team charter at Hanscom Field outside of Boston. “Our guys are not discouraged or disappointed. The past is the past. We’ve got an opportunity to win a hockey game and get into the Stanley Cup finals.” Lightning coach Guy Boucher said he will start goalie Dwayne Roloson, who is 7-0 in his career in elimination games, instead of Mike Smith, who twice came on in relief during the series and started Game 5. Boucher also said Thursday he didn’t expect Sean Bergenheim to be able to play in Game 7. The Tampa Bay forward had been leading the league with nine goals during the playoffs — after scoring 14 during the regular season — but he missed the last two periods of Game 5 with an undisclosed in-

CMYK A look at consumer spending Personal consumption

And how confident they feel

Tate & Lyle earnings

The Commerce Department’s report on personal income and spending will show what consumers earned in April and what they spent. Economists have been focused on spending, especially since prices for food and gas started rising and people had less money for nonessentials. Reports on retail sales have already showed that consumers are putting more of their money toward filling their gas tanks.

The University of Michigan/ Thomson Reuters survey of consumer sentiment will show how uneasy people are about the economy. They’re contending with higher gas and food prices and they’re aware of the still-high unemployment rate. And there are signs the economy is slowing. All of that can mean a consumer who doesn’t want to spend. Economists expect the survey to match an estimate of 72.4 released two weeks ago. That’s up from April’s 69.8.

The British company is a big producer of food ingredients including corn syrup and the sweetener Splenda. So its earnings will show the impact of higher corn and other commodities prices on its finances, and it also is likely to say how much Tate & Lyle is being forced to raise prices for its customers. The company has big U.S. operations where it mills corn to go into its products. In the U.S., Tate & Lyle is traded in the U.S. in what's known as the over-the-counter market.

Heinz to cut up to 1,000

H.J. Heinz Co.’s global expansion efforts are paying off, driving its fourthquarter net income up 16 percent. But the world’s biggest ketchup maker said it needs to raise prices and cut jobs to continue its profitable path. The company, based in Pittburgh, announced Thursday that it will shed up to 1,000 jobs globally in fiscal 2012 as it closes five factories. Heinz has 37,000 workers worldwide. I The closings will include two factories in the United States, two in Europe and one in the Pacific region. It will shed approximately 800 to 1,000 positions and be left with 76 factories. Heinz did not further specify which plants would close. Heinz earned $223.9 million, or 69 cents per share, for the quarter. That’s up from $192.4 million, or 60 cents per share, a year earlier, but it was short of the 72 cents per share Wall Street anticipated. Revenue rose 6 percent to $2.89 billion, above the $2.87 billion analysts polled by FactSet forecast. Heinz also raised its dividend by 7 percent on Thursday and increased its full-year outlook.

Congress wants to put Amtrak up for bid Amtrak doesn’t provide fast service despite billions in federal aid, lawmaker says.

B R I E F

By JOAN LOWY Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Congress would take away Amtrak’s popular Northeast corridor train service and invite private investors to bid for the

right to develop high-speed rail under a plan outlined by a key House Republican Thursday. The densely populated corridor — which extends from Washington to Boston, including service to New York and Philadelphia — is the most viable region in the country for truly high-speed trains averaging speeds better than 110 mph, said House Transportation and Infrastructure Chair-

man John Mica, R-Fla. But Amtrak has failed to provide fast service despite tens of billions of dollars in federal aid, he said while outlining his plan at a hearing. Amtrak’s Acela trains reach speeds over 150 mph in some portions of the corridor. But Mica said trip times average only 83 mph between Washington and New York and 72 mph between New York and

Boston. His calculations include wait times at station stops along the route, which lowers the average speed. Some trains in Europe and Asia achieve speeds over 200 mph. Last year, Amtrak proposed a plan to upgrade its Northeast corridor track and trains and to eliminate bottlenecks so that trains can travel up to 220 mph. Trip time between Wash-

Gov’t to sell AIG shares

The government is selling off a chunk of its stake in American International Group Inc., narrowly squeezing out a profit as it moves to bring an end to its bailout of the insurance giant. The company and the Treasury Department said they were selling 300 million shares of AIG at $29 each. The per-share price was the low end of the insurer’s expected $29 to $30 dollar range but just above the $28.73 price per share that the government needs to recoup its investment in the company. Treasury said the government could get gross proceeds of $7.1 billion if the underwriters exercise their option to buy an additional 45 million shares owned by the government.

The plan will be incorporated in a long-term transportation spending bill the committee is drafting and expects to introduce around mid-June, Mica said.

San Francisco has become the first U.S. city to ban the unsolicited distribution of Yellow Pages. Mayor Ed Lee signed the ban into law to cut the number of unwanted phone books being dropped into city neighborhoods. The Local Search Association, a commercial phone book industry trade group, has threatened to sue, saying the ban violates its members’ rights. David Chiu, president of the city’s Board of Supervisors, said the ban was needed because the unsolicited books degraded the environment and blighted neighborhoods. The law, which does not affect white pages distribution, is scheduled to take effect next year, and will bar companies from leaving Yellow Pages on porches without the permission of the residence or business.

Customer Daniel Dona pays with his credit card for $4.13 a gallon gas at a Shell station in Menlo Park, Calif. Surging gasoline prices and sharp cutbacks in government spending caused the economy to grow only weakly in the first three months of the year. Consumer spending slowed even more than previously estimated.

Energy prices hold back growth By MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer

ASHINGTON — High gasoline prices, government budget cuts and weaker-than-expected consumer spending caused the economy to grow only weakly in the first three months of the year. The Commerce Department estimated Thursday that the economy grew at an annual rate of 1.8 percent in the JanuaryMarch quarter. That was the same as its first estimate a month ago. Consumer spending grew at just half the rate of the previous quarter. And a surge in imports widened the U.S. trade deficit. Most economists think the economy is growing only slightly better in the current April-June quarter. Consumers remain squeezed by gas prices, scant

pay increases and a depressed housing market. Analysts estimate that growth has accelerated slightly to around 2.5 percent in the current April-June quarter. For the entire year, they think the economy will grow around 3 percent. That would be little changed from the 2.9 percent

growth in 2010. Growth is expected to improve modestly in the second half of 2011 as stepped-up hiring helps stimulate consumer and business spending. Companies are also benefiting this year from a tax break that lets profitable businesses write off large capital expenditures right away rather than gradually. But economists caution that their brighter outlook could be derailed if oil prices head higher or if financial markets are jolted by Europe’s debt crisis or a failure by Congress to raise the government’s borrowing authority this summer. “I think consumers will hang on and start to do their part to lift the economy,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. “The job market is improving, and more job growth means more income growth and that will help spending.”

NEW YORK — Google Inc. launched its bid to dominate a world where the smartphone has replaced the wallet as the container for credit cards, coupons and receipts. It’s a vision shared by others. The Internet search and advertising company faces tough competition from cellphone companies and Visa, which all want to play a central role in tying together phones, retailers and banks into a new payment system. Google said Thursday that it’s launching a trial of its payment system in San Francisco and New York in cooperation with MasterCard and Citibank. It is opening it up to consumers in the summer. It then plans to expand across the country. There has been talk of smart payment systems for years. Google faces the same hurdles that have stifled previous trials. The new Google Wallet will initially work on only one smartphone, the Google Nexus S 4G carried by Sprint Nextel Corp. It will connect only to MasterCard PayPass terminals. There are more than 135,000 of those in U.S. stores and restaurants, but that’s only a small fraction of the total number. Google calls it a “single-tap” solution, meaning shoppers should be able to pay with a single tap of their phone on a payment terminal, or a swipe past it. But in a demonstration at Thursday’s New York event, a Google executive had to tap twice, then sign on the screen of the terminal provided by retail partner American Eagle Outfitters Inc. to get a purchase through. Osama Bedier, Google’s vice president of payments, said it was up to the retailer to decide if the shopper has to sign on the screen.

Honda sees near-normal U.S. output in August By TOM KRISHER AP Auto Writer

DETROIT — Honda’s North American factories will return to near-normal production in August, the company said Thursday, much faster than expected following supply disruptions. The flow of auto parts was interrupted after Japanese factories were damaged by a huge earthquake and tsunami on March 11, or stricken by the power outages that followed.

Shortages have affected nearly every carmaker, but have struck hardest at Honda Motor Co. and Toyota Motor Corp. Last month, Honda cut production to about half the normal level because of falling parts supplies. It warned dealers of model shortages and said full production might not resume until the end of the year. But Honda now says that the situation in Japan is improving. Factories can ramp up to full production on a plant-by-plant basis — except for those that

build the new Civic compact. As a result, the severity of model shortages this month will not be as bad as expected. “This will go a long way toward alleviating the shortages at dealerships,” said spokesman Ed Miller. “It’s very good news for dealers.” Toyota is also ramping up. Earlier this month it said that it would be able to crank up North American production AP FILE PHOTO faster than expected, returning to 70 percent of normal levels Workers give the final check-up on Honda Accords at Honda Motor Co.’s Saitama Factory in Sayama, north of Tokyo. in June.

The gift of investment

The best gift for college graduates might not be cash or a check. Give them a start on their investing future with shares in a mutual fund. It’s not hard to find funds that are appropriate as gifts: Keep it simple. Stay away from funds that use complex or unusually risky investing strategies. You’re giving a gift, and the focus should be on getting someone started, not beating the market. A well-diversified index fund is a good first investment. So are target-date funds that encourage investing for retirement. The investment mix in these funds will be more aggressive now, but will become more conservative as

retirement approaches. You can find a fund that doesn’t require a big initial investment. If your gift budget is limited, you can open an account with a fund that has a minimum requirement of $1,000 or less. Vanguard has dropped the minimum investment on its target-date funds to $1,000 from $3,000. And while Charles Schwab allows accounts to be set up with as little as $1,000, investors can start with less if they agree to make monthly contributions of at least $100. Once the account reaches $1,000, the donor can stop giving, and leave future contributions to the graduate.

Watch out for fees. Some fund companies charge an annual fee if the balance is below a certain amount. T. Rowe Price charges a $10 annual fee for each Individual Retirement Account with a balance of less than $5,000. And avoid mutual funds that assess upfront sales charges, called loads, and those that charge above-average management fees. Keep it tax-free. Consider a traditional IRA or a Roth IRA, which allow investors to set aside after-tax income and not pay taxes on gains. However, the graduate must be getting a paycheck to qualify for the tax benefits of an IRA.

These five mutual funds would be good gifts for college grads. All have a low minimum investment, low fee and high rating from Morningstar. FUND

With another trough of low pressure approaching, the radar will no doubt be lighting up again this afternoon indicating scattered thunderstorms. Storms will probably last into the evening hours, and once again the main threat will be hail and strong winds. The one-inch hail that fell in Dallas Thursday was indicative of updraft winds inside the storm exceeding 60 mph. Saturday's weather will still be a bit unsettled with an afternoon thunderstorm possible, and then starting Sunday a ridge of high pressure will strengthen overhead. This will promote more sunshine and hot temperatures into Monday and Tuesday.

Key: s-sunny, pc-partly cloudy, c-cloudy, sh-showers, t-thunderstorms, r-rain, sn-snow, sf-snow ﬂurries, i-ice.
