TIGHT BUDGETS

Crestwood teachers get word on layoffs

FEDERAL TRIAL

Cordaro: Accusers are liars

The area school district acts to deal with loss of state money.

The ex-Lackawanna County commissioner says the large sums of money he spent were from his savings, not kickback cash.

By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

WRIGHT TWP. – Crestwood School District teachers who face furlough have been notified of their likely fate, though nothing will be official until both the state and the school board approve their final budgets for the coming year. “Conversations were had with the “Conversa- teachers who might be aftions were fected by program curtailhad with ment,” Suthe teach- perintendent Dave ers who McLaughlin might be Smith conaffected by firmed via email Thursprogram day. “The curtailprocess will involve board ment.” action and Dave letters conMcLaughlin firming the Smith board deciSuperintendent sion.” Like other school districts in the state, Crestwood will see big cuts in state funding if legislators stick to Gov. Tom Corbett’s proposed budget. Corbett insists his budget actually increases the amount the state is giving districts, but his increases don’t begin to cover the loss of federal stimulus money the state used to fill education budget gaps in the past two years, so districts are seeing dramatic shortfalls. Corbett’s budget plan eliminates the Accountability Block Grant Program, which gave Crestwood nearly $325,000 last year. The district used that money to provide full-day kindergarten. Crestwood also lost nearly $900,000 in the state’s Basic Education Funding, the bulk of state money for public schools. In response, Crestwood proposed a preliminary $32.6 million budget that cuts full-day kindergarten, eliminates middle school sports and drops elementary and middle school See CRESTWOOD, Page 14A

Embattled Weiner calls it quits

New York congressman apologizes for personal mistakes he has made in the sexting scandal. By KAREN ZRAICK and ANDREW MIGA Associated Press

Weiner had run for mayor of New York in 2005 and had been expected to do so again. He was in his seventh term in Congress. At an appearance in Brooklyn that drew hecklers as well as supporters, Weiner apologized “for the personal mistakes I have made and the embarrassment I have caused,” particularly to his wife, Huma Abedin. Pregnant with the couple’s first child, she was absent as she had been 10 days ago when Weiner first admitted sending inappropriate messages and photos to women online — after earlier denying emphatically he had done so. In his brief farewell appearance, Weiner said he initially hoped the controversy would fade but then realized “the distraction that I have created has made that impossible.”

NEW YORK — Defiant and combative no longer, New York Rep. Anthony Weiner soberly announced his resignation from Congress on Thursday, bowing to the furor caused by his sexually charged online dalliances with a former porn actress and other women. Democratic Party leaders, concerned that Weiner could weigh the party down in the 2012 elections, welcomed the announcement after days spent trying to coax, push and finally coerce the wayward 46-year-old into quitting. Known as brash, liberal and ambitious, See WEINER, Page 14A

SCRANTON – He has spent nine days listening to prosecutors portray him as a moneyhungry dictator who shook down businesses for hundreds of thousands of dollars. On Thursday, former Lackawanna County Commissioner Robert Cordaro launched his counterattack. And he didn’t hold back. Government witnesses who said he extorted money from them? They were liars who, facing their own legal troubles, took the easy way out when they were offered Cordaro immunity, Cordaro said. The federal investigators who questioned them? They used strong-arm tactics and threats of prosecution to coerce witnesses into saying what the government wanted them to say, he said. Munchak And the more than $700,000 he spent in cash on cars, school tuition, country club fees and other expenses from 2004 to 2007? It wasn’t kickback money, but part of $350,000 in cash savings he kept in safe deposit boxes and a home safe that Cordaro, an attorney, earned over the years from his law practice and other businesses, he said. Cordaro, 50, spent nearly six hours on the stand Thursday, sparring with Assistant U.S. Attorney Bruce Brandler as he reviewed the myriad of allegations against Cordaro and his See CORDARO, Page 6A

Hazleton Area coach backed District athletic director announces Jim Drumheller as his grid recommendation.

By GERI GIBBONS Times Leader Correspondent

HAZLE TWP. – Hazleton Area Athletic Director Fred Barletta on Thursday night recommended Jim Drumheller as head football coach for the high school program, indicating that he had served the team in various positions for almost 20 years. Speaking before the Hazleton Area School Board during its committee meetings, Barletta also said coaching salaries would be subject to the wage freeze agreed upon by district teachers earlier this week. Teachers will actually receive raises in the next two school

years, but gradually instead of all at once. Under the pay plan to which the teachers agreed, they will receive a 1.8 percent increase when the 2011-12 school year starts and the full 3.6 percent by the end of the school year. A similar arrangement will go into effect for the following year, when the contract calls for a 3.7 percent pay increase. Teachers received a 3.6 percent raise in the 2010-2011 school year, under the first year of the three-year contract. However, pay for advisers and coaches will remain at the current rate throughout the contract. Barletta also said he would once again retain an assistant personal trainer contracted through Geisinger. When questioned by board member Carmella Yenkevich as to the necessity of this posi-

tion, Barletta indicated the district had unsuccessfully tried to run the department without an assistant trainer in the past. “This position is necessary,” stated Barletta, “for the safety of district athletes.” In another matter, board member Robert Childs addressed the possibility of a magnet school in the district, which would be available to those students who excel in higher math and sciences. Childs also said he believed that an alternative school should be instituted within the district dedicated for those students who presented behavioral problems within the classroom. The School Board is scheduled to hold its next regular meeting next Thursday at 6 p.m. at Valley Elementary/Middle School, 79 Rock Glen Road, Sugarloaf Township.

Hazleton Area teachers OK budget help By Times Leader staff

HAZLE TWP. – A measure approved by unionized teachers in the Hazleton Area School District holds back their raises at first, but allows them to collect their agreed-upon pay hike in full over the course of the upcoming school year. The district is struggling with a deficit for the 2011-12 school year and the arrangement will help with approximately $750,000 in savings for the district.

Under the plan the teachers will receive a 1.8 percent increase when the school year starts and the full 3.6 percent by the end of the 2011-12 school year. A similar arrangement will go into effect for the following year. The board last year gave raises averaging 3.65 percent to the teachers under the terms of a three-year contract set to begin in the upcoming school year. Some school board members and the teachers union called

the arrangement a pay freeze. But board member Carmella Yenkevich disagreed. “It’s not exactly a two-year wage freeze,” said Yenkevich, who voted against the contract last September. The teachers will receive the raises negotiated in the new contract, she said. The board has until June 30 to approve a budget for the new school year and scheduled several meetings to be held before the deadline.

Dallas Twp. gas meter plan will need more time By SARAH HITE shite@timesleader.com

DALLAS TWP. – Chief Gathering LLC was granted a continuance by the township zoning hearing board Thursday to complete and submit revised sketches of its plans for a natural gas metering station near the Dallas School District campus. The board and Chief attorneys gathered at the Dallas Middle School despite the meeting cancellation because there was not a 24-hour notice prior to the continuance motion. The motion was received at 10:15 a.m. Thursday, township officials said. Jeffrey Malak, local counsel for

COUNTY JUDGE RACE

Seven candidates will compete for six seats in the November election

$1.28 million spent in campaigns

By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES AND SHEENA DELAZIO jandes@timesleader.com sdelazio@timesleader.com

A combined $1.28 million was spent on the election campaigns of the 16 Luzerne County judicial candidates who competed in the May 17 primary, according to campaign finance reports filed Thursday. The tally was calculated by adding spending figures from the new reports to previously filed ones. The total does not include the most recent spending for three candidates – Jim McMonagle, John Aciukewicz and Jim Haggerty – because their latest reports were not available Thursday. Candidates had to file the reports with the state, and courtesy copies were supplied to the county by the 13 other candidates’ committees. Seven candidates will compete for six open seats in the November general election. Five candidates secured nominations on both the Democratic and Re-

publican tickets on May 17: Lesa Gelb, Jennifer Rogers, Fred A. Pierantoni, Michael Vough and Joseph Sklarosky. Molly Hanlon Mirabito received a Democratic nomination, and Richard “Dick” Hughes was nominated on the Republican ticket. Vough’s campaign committee spent

the most -- $215,637, reports show. Four other candidates spent more than $100,000: Pierantoni, $164,762; Joseph F. Saporito Jr., $160,701; Hughes, $123,979; and Gelb, $106,297. Hanlon Mirabito’s committee spent the least of the 13 candidates for which all reports were available --

$26,504. The other totals: Sklarosky, $98,804; Mark Bufalino, $98,189; Michael Blazick, $80,502; Tony Ross, $66,052; Rogers, $53,224; Paula Radick, $24,450; and Vito DeLuca, $18,818. See JUDGES, Page 4A

Extension likely for chamber WILKES-BARRE -- Luzerne County commissioners say they will likely grant the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Business and Industry’s request to postpone $4.7 million in loan repayments until the economy improves. The chamber says it must sell land to come up with the money to repay the loans, and obtaining a fair market price for land is difficult in the struggling economy. Commissioners say they could force the chamber to unload land in a “fire sale” to make loan payments, but they would run the risk that the debt would not be repaid in full if the land sale proceeds fall short. Chamber representative Larry Newman told commissioners during Thursday’s work session that his organization is not seeking a dollar of forgiveness on the principal or interest. “We are merely asking for time -- time that would give us the ability to properly return the maximum value,” Newman said. Newman said the chamber has made “dramatic internal reductions in staff and overhead.” It has been set back by its inability to recover the $12 million invested in the downtown WilkesBarre theater complex, he said. “That was a necessary investment.

The loans were given to the chamber to buy land and property. The money came from the county’s revolving loan fund, which relies on loan repayments and interest earnings to continue providing new loans to area businesses. This pot of money, which may not be used for general fund operating expenses, is currently valued at roughly $9 million. Newman said the loan will be repaid using proceeds from the sale of several properties at its business parks. Commissioner Chairwoman Ma-

DUI crash victim’s widow makes emotional court plea Kirra L. McPeek, 24, sentenced to three to six years in state prison on charges linked to fatal crash. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Mykhaylo Meshko came to the area from Russia to support his wife and four children, prosecutors say. He was driving home from his job at around 1:30 a.m. on Halloween when his 1995 Mitsubishi Galant was struck

by another vehicle driven by Kirra L. McPeek, ultimately killing the 50-yearold man. “My husband was a very good person,” said Meshko’s wife, McPeek Nadiya, with the help of a Russian interpreter at the sentencing hearing held Thursday morning for McPeek. “It is very difficult for me. He was everything to me.” McPeek, 24, of Wilkes-Barre, was sentenced by Judge Lewis Wetzel to

Supervisor trial is moved

A summary trial for Rice Township Supervisor Ann Kijek, charged with three counts of harassment in a private complaint filed by township Supervisor George Venesky, was continued on Thursday. Due to a conflict of interest, the trial was transferred from District Judge Ronald Swank in Wright Township to District Judge Donald Whittaker in Nanticoke. A new date has not been scheduled. Venesky accused Kijek of screaming at him on March 8 and slamming a door on his arm on April 13 at the Rice Township Municipal Building, according to the private complaint. WILKES-BARRE

One juror was selected Thursday in the death penalty trial of Elvis Riccardi. That juror now makes up the first 12 that will hear Riccardi’s case. Four alternates still need to be selected before testimony can begin. Riccardi, 33, is charged in the June 2009 death of 34-year-old Donald Skiff. Jury selection will continue this morning. Senior Judge Joseph Augello expects testimony to begin Monday morning. If Riccardi is convicted of first-degree murder, he faces either life in prison or the death penalty. SOUTH ABINGTON TWP.

Nocito told Wetzel his client is sorrowful, remorseful and ashamed of her actions, and accepted responsibility by pleading guilty to the charges in April. McPeek cares for her grandmother and great-grandmother, holds down a job and has her EMT certification. “This was out of character,” Nocito said, adding his client has attended counseling and returned to attending church services.

“They have no other resources to pay this debt,” Cooney said of the chamber. Commissioner Stephen A.

Al-Zawahri heads al-Qaida

Bin Laden’s longtime deputy helped plan the 9/11 attacks and hates the U.S. By HAMZA HENDAWI Associated Press

Worn this way: Gaga outfit on display

Exhibitions chief preparator Andre Septavec and director of exhibitions Shelby Morrison put the famous meat dress and boots, worn on stage by Lady Gaga during her acceptance for Best Video of the Year for Bad Romance at the MTV Video Music Awards last year, on display Thursday in an exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland. The dress and boots, which had turned brown from the chemical preservation process, have been painted to return them to their original color.

CAIRO — Osama bin Laden’s longtime deputy Ayman al-Zawahri, a fiery ideologue who is known for his deep hatred of the West and helped plan the 9/11 attacks, has taken control of al-Qaida after the death last month of the terror network’s founder, the group said Thursday. Al-Zawahri, an Egyptianborn surgeon, has been credited with bringing tactical and organizational cunning to al-Qaida, which has found itself increasingly decentral-

ized and prone to internal disputes after its expulsion from Afghanistan after the 2001 U.S. invasion. The move also comes at a time the terror network is struggling for relevance as a wave of Arab uprisings has threatened to leave it marginalized. Al-Zawahri pledged earlier this month to avenge the U.S. raid on May 2 that killed bin Laden, the al-Qaida founder and mastermind of the Sept. 11 terror attacks, and to continue the terror network’s campaign of attacks against the U.S. and other Western interests. “The general command of al-Qaida, after completing consultations, decided that the sheik doctor Abu Mo-

known to be affiliated with the group. Al-Qaida gave no details about the selection process for bin Laden’s successor but said that it was the best tribute to the memory of its “martyrs.” Al-Zawahri, who turns 60 on Sunday and has a $25 million bounty on his head, has been behind the use of suicide bombings and the independent militant cells that have become the network’s trademarks. But U.S. intelligence officials have said that some al-Qaida members find al-Zawahri to be a controlling micromanager who lacks bin Laden’s populist appeal. Because of that, U.S. intelligence will watch for signs Zawahri is a leader in name only.

In this border region, where thousands of Syrian civilians have fled to havens in Turkey, Turkish officials were preparing to send food, clean water, medicine and other aid to thousands more stranded on the Syrian side. The unusual plan for a cross-border operation on Syrian soil appeared to have Syrian clearance, being announced by Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu after he met with an envoy from President Bashar Assad’s authoritarian regime.

President courts emigrants Haiti’s new president is reaching out to the 2 million Haitians emigrants whose earnings abroad have long helped keep the struggling country afloat even while they have been shut out of local politics. Recently inaugurated Michel Martelly, who lived abroad himself, has vowed to overturn Haiti’s long-standing ban on dual citizenship and to build a better relationship with an overseas community that contributes 25 percent of Haiti’s gross domestic product with remittances sent to relatives back home. The Haitian diaspora, mostly in the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean, has been shut out of the political scene. Residency requirements ban those abroad from owning land or running for office, a clause that kept Grammy Award-winning singer Wyclef Jean from fulfilling his dream of running for president of Haiti.

One fire at the Coronado National Forest in southern Arizona had burned or damaged at least 40 homes and 10 other structures over 14 square miles, or 9,500 acres. It also destroyed a chapel, the Arizona Daily Star reported. At peak burning time on Thursday afternoon, the fire is “probably going to look like a bomb went off,” fire information officer Dale Thompson said. The next three days will be tough because of the winds, he said. The blaze is 17 percent contained.

Politics slows gay marriage vote Delay of marriage bill in New York linked to rent control regulations deal in state Senate.

Gay marriage supporters Anne Saile, left, of Ballston Lake, N.Y., and Jason Ganns, of Albany, N.Y., speak with The Associated Press Thursday in Albany. Conflicting interests and political maneuvering threatened to stall a vote on whether to legalize gay marriage.

By MICHAEL GORMLEY Associated Press

ALBANY, N.Y. — Conflicting interests and political maneuvering threatened to stall a vote in New York on whether to legalize gay marriage, viewed by advocates and opponents alike as a pivotal moment in the years-long debate. The Republican leader of the state Senate, which controls the fate of the measure, emerged from yet another closeddoor meeting Thursday morning with no plan to bring the issue to a vote. Dean Skelos, a Long Island Republican, gave the brief update after meeting with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a supporter of same-sex marriage. Another Republican, Sen. Martin Golden of Brooklyn, said the collapse of a

deal to extend New York City rent control regulations late Wednesday night was linked to the slowdown in discussions over gay marriage. Golden said he still expects the marriage bill to come to a vote, but that may not happen this week. It had been expected as early as Thursday. Bloomberg, a major financial backer of the Senate Republicans, declined imme-

diate comment after meeting with the senators for an hour. The legalization of gay marriage in New York now falls squarely on the shoulders of GOP state senators under intense political pressure from the important Conservative Party and internal polling that shows growing, but not necessarily majority, support for same-sex marriage.

Senate votes to ax ethanol tax credit

The vote on the subsidy was a do-over on a proposal that had been rejected earlier. By LISA MASCARO Tribune Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — The Senate voted to do away with an ethanol tax credit, an indication of waning support for subsidizing the industry as the nation grapples with deficit spending and spiraling federal debt. Still, the tax credit will likely continue for some time as the legislation was attached to a stalled economic development bill that faces opposition in Congress. The 73-27 vote on Thursday to advance the proposal that would end the credit drew support from across party lines as senators from farming states found little backing for the continuing a tax break that government auditors have called unnecessary.

The proposal also would end a 54-cent-per-gallon tariff on imported ethanol. Despite pressure on Republican senators to not indirectly permit a tax hike by eliminating the nearly $6 billion annual subsidy without redirecting the savings to another tax break, a majority of GOP senators gave their support. The vote came as Vice President Joe Biden held a third consecutive day of closed-door talks with congressional leaders as they seek a bipartisan agreement that would reduce the federal deficit and lead to Congress raising the nation’s $14.3 trillion debt limit. The White House has said the president supports reducing the ethanol tax credit, but does not support a full repeal. Thursday’s vote on the ethanol subsidy was a do-over on a proposal that had been rejected earlier this week when Democrats largely opposed it on procedural grounds.

NATO airstrikes hammer Gadhafi’s stronghold of Tripoli By ADAM SCHRECK Associated Press

TRIPOLI, Libya — Renewed diplomatic efforts to halt the country’s civil war appeared to be gaining momentum Thursday as thunderous NATO airstrikes once again hammered Moammar Gadhafi’s stronghold of Tripoli. Officials in the capital say they are open to international efforts that would bring an end to four months of fighting between forces loyal to the longtime leader and rebels who control the east-

ern third of the country along with pockets in the west. But they insist that Gadhafi will not bow to international pressure to push him aside. “We don’t accept anything that may be done against him. He is a red line in our discussions,” Prime Minister alBaghdadi al-Mahmoudi said. Any deal that would partition the country is also unacceptable, he added. One of Gadhafi’s sons told an Italian newspaper that while his father would

not seek exile, elections under international supervision could offer a way out. A vote could be organized within three months, he said. The son, Saif al-Islam, told Corriere della Sera that Gadhafi would step aside if he lost, which the son said was unlikely. He acknowledged, however, that “my father’s regime as it developed since 1969 is dead.” AP PHOTO In Washington, U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland re- Libyan woman has her mouth symbolically taped in a protest in Tripoli. jected the idea of elections in Libya.

Mayor: City eyeing park

Resident, suspecting illegal activity at Scouten Lee Park, wants basketball hoops gone. By BILL Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Christian Stevens told City Council on Thursday that he will attend every meeting until the situation at Scouten Lee Park is resolved. Stevens, of Parkin Street, said the behavior of people using the basketball courts at the park is disturbing the neighborhood. He said he and other neighbors suspect illegal activity is going on as well, and he asked council again to have the basketball hoops removed. The people using the courts late in the evening are mostly adults who drive to the park, he said, and if the basketball hoops are removed, the players will go someplace else. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a quiet neighborhood,â&#x20AC;? Stevens said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And we would like it to stay that way.â&#x20AC;? He complained of loud noise, obscene language and loud music. He said he and other resi-

dents have seen some of the people urinating â&#x20AC;&#x153;in broad daylightâ&#x20AC;? facing the residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; homes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The city canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn a blind eye on this,â&#x20AC;? Stevens said. Mayor Tom Leighton said the city determined the park was improved in 1999. He said the city will remove the baskets for repair, and during that time the park will be monitored to determine if the behavior changes. Leighton said police patrols have already been increased and will continue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are fully aware of the situation and we are taking it seriously,â&#x20AC;? he said. Councilman Tony Thomas Jr., said the city has received numerous complaints about similar behavior at other city parks.

WILKES-BARRE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Goodnight, Cupcake.â&#x20AC;? That statement from Mayor Tom Leighton to tow truck operator Bob Kadluboski at Thursday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s City Council meeting enraged the businessman, leading him to shout at the mayor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you ever call me cupcake again,â&#x20AC;? Kadluboski screamed at Leighton, who was standing at the rear of council chambers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sick of your mouth. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re nothing but a punk.â&#x20AC;? Leighton just stood and smiled as Kadluboski was led out of the room by a city police officer and he walked to his vehicle in the parking lot. Leighton explained what happened after the meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When he (Kadluboski) was walking out, he called me a thief under his breath,â&#x20AC;? Leighton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Goodnight, Cupcake,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and you heard what happened.â&#x20AC;? Later Thursday night, Kadluboski, owner of City Wide Towing & Repair, said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say anything to Leighton to provoke a response.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know he was standing there,â&#x20AC;? Kadluboski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why was he standing back Kadluboski there anyway? Is he trying to make me punch him in the face?â&#x20AC;? Janet Straub of Espy Street was about to address council about an issue in her neighborhood when Kadluboski started shouting. Visibly shaken, Straub could hardly speak when order was restored. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That really scared me,â&#x20AC;? she said after the meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to gather my thoughts.â&#x20AC;? Leighton said he has been told that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cupcakeâ&#x20AC;? is a nickname some people call Kadluboski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody calls me that,â&#x20AC;? Kadluboski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My nickname is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Kabby.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Leighton said Kadluboskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behavior last night has been typical of his recent visits to council meetings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left council meetings several times screaming and slamming doors,â&#x20AC;? Leighton

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the first time heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been escorted out.â&#x20AC;? Kadluboski has been trying to convince council to allow more time for public comment. He has asked for 5 minutes on each topic he wants to discuss, but council only allows him the 5 minutes allocated to all residents who address council. Kadluboski used up his 5 minutes telling council that he is going to the American Civil Liberties Union to report the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policy on public comment. When he was done with discussing his plan, council Chairwoman Kathy Kane informed him his time was up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to get away with this,â&#x20AC;? Kadluboski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re limiting my time to talk about various subjects. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t treat the citizens like this.â&#x20AC;? When asked why he was standing at the back of the room, Leighton said he went to the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room and left his keys in council chambers. He said the door to the clerkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office locked behind him so he had to return to the meeting via the public entrance.

Jackie A. Dispenza June 15, 2011

ackie A. Dispenza, of Beverly Drive, Tunkhannock, died Wednesday, June 15, 2011, from injuries suffered in an automobile accident.

Jackie, in every sense of the word, was unique, which sounds too cliché to be an accurate description. She was brilliant and quick-witted. She would surprise us even after we thought nothing else could. She was stunning and always well put together, even when she refused to believe it. Even on her worst days, she had a radiant smile, the kind that you couldn’t help but return with your own. Her love of art was enduring. Everything she touched turned out beautifully. Above all, Jackie could do anything she put her mind to. She was hired at any job she applied for and performed exceptionally in them all. When she wanted something and truly worked for it, nothing could stop her. Jackie was preceded in death by her paternal grandfather, Louis F. Dispenza. In addition to her parents, she is survived by a brother, Paul; sister, Rachel Dispenza, both of Tunkhannock; maternal grandparents, Paul and Aleen Curran; paternal grandmother, Sally Broccolo; and step-

Tunkhannock; and several aunts, uncles and cousins. A memorial service will be held at 8 p.m. Tuesday from the SheldonKukuchka Funeral Home Inc., 73 W. Tioga St., Tunkhannock, with the Rev. Lori Robinson officiating. Friends may call from 5 p.m. until the time of service at the funeral home. Online condolences may be sent to the family at www.sheldonkukuchkafuneralhome.com.

PITTSTON – City officials announced the demolition of two buildings and the purchase of two others on Main Street during Wednesday night’s City Council meeting. The city bought the building at 30 S. Main St., commonly known as the Wayne’s World building, about six months ago. At the time, city officials believed the building could be restored. A more thorough assessment after the purchase revealed that it would be far more cost-effective to demolish the building. The demolition will be paid for with existing state grant funds. City Manager Joseph Moskowitz said the city considers it a priority to preserve as much of the downtown as possible. This was the original intent in purchasing the Wayne’s World building. The former used record and DVD shop, owned by Wayne Sorbelli, had been a staple in Pittston since1997. After the 2010 demolition of the former Pittston Billiard, structural damage was noticed at the building. The store closed a short time later. Before the closure, Sorbelli

had already opened another larger store in his current hometown of Dallas with a stronger focus on instrument sales and music lessons. “The great thing about Pittston was the location,” Sorbelli said. “I serviced walk-in customers from the community, and I loved it.” If he were able to find an ideal location on Main Street, Sorbelli stated, he would like to open a store similar to the one operated in Dallas. The former Valley Cat Rescue at 79 S. Main St. will also be demolished. Unlike the Wayne’s World Building, this is not owned by the city. Moskowitz did not recall the name of the building’s owners but he did state that the city plans to pursue action against the owners to try recover some of the demolition expenses. City officials estimate that the Wayne’s World building will be torn down within the next six weeks. They hope to demolish the former Valley Cat Rescue Hospital much sooner. The council also announced the purchase of the Lezza building at 111 S. Main St. and the Firemark building on South Main Street for $70,000. Moskowitz said it was in the city’s interest to step in to invest in the Lezza building in that it would help to shore up the overall investment in the downtown.

DALLAS TWP. – Members of the Back Mountain Community Partnership passed a motion Thursday to seek more information about a police regionalization study for the area. Representatives from Dallas Borough and Dallas, Franklin, Jackson, Kingston and Lehman townships last month discussed a grant-sponsored police regionalization study being offered by the Governor’s Center for Local Government Services. Partnership members took the talk of police merging to their individual municipal governments prior to Thursday’s meeting. Opinions vary in each municipality.

Reino compared the Back Mountain group’s success with the police study – prior to its inception, attempts to unite Back Mountain communities via a governmental body were futile. Instead of a separate authority, the partnership now works as a cooperative group, for which Reino credits much of its success. “This study could produce a solution that has not been done before and still keep things intact,” Reino said. Rick Melvin, secretary/treasurer for Franklin Township, said the study could be beneficial for the township but costly. Franklin Township currently has no police force and is patrolled by state police from the Wyoming barracks. Melvin abstained from the vote to receive more information on the study. The group will contact a representative from the Governor’s Center for Local Government to learn more about the study’s details before making a decision whether to proceed.

State eyes new instance of methane near drilling The Associated Press

MUNCY — State environmental officials are investigating another instance of methane contaminating water in northern Pennsylvania near a Marcellus Shale natural gas drilling operation. The Department of Environmental Protection said Thursday that it found the flammable, explosive gas in seven water wells in Lycoming County and gas bubbling into the nearby Little Muncy Creek.

DEP spokesman Daniel Spadoni said the agency is trying to determine the source of the gas. He said there’s no information that the methane is affecting the creek’s aquatic life or accumulating in homes. The initial report of well bubbling came in mid-May. That home is about a halfmile from a drilling site owned by ExxonMobil subsidiary XTO Energy of Fort Worth, Texas. The company voluntarily halted drilling operations in the county and is cooperating with the DEP.

er. Our early ancestors hugged the Euphrates’ edges, and as civilizations spread, cities popped up predictably in those places where the water freely flows (London, Pittsburgh and, yes, Wilkes-Barre). The 12th annual Wyoming Valley RiverFest – a family-oriented festival taking place tonight through Sunday – seeks to tap those instincts, drawing area residents to once again congregate and celebrate beside the magnificent, if sometimes misunderstood, Susquehanna River. The volunteer-run event offers Luzerne County residents and visitors an opportunity to connect, or re-connect, with this waterway. So get to the River Common in downtown Wilkes-Barre for a few hours and soak in the scene. Float there by canoe or kayak if you can. (Some sojourners will be arriving Saturday from Harding via boats). Or walk, bike or take the trolley from one of several center-city stops. During this year’s festival, the spectacle will include two dragon boats – 40-foot-long vessels each propelled by about 20 paddlers, plus a drummer and “steersman.” Local teams of novices will compete in dragon boat races Sunday. Also on the schedule this weekend: a family fishing program, nature hikes, animal exhibits, pony rides, mural painting, craft sales and plenty of free musical perform-

ances. Taking center stage throughout, of course, will be the festival’s splendid backdrop: the barely 2-year-old River Common park. Explore its pathways. Admire its vistas. Appreciate its existence. Thanks to this $25 million project orchestrated by Luzerne County’s Flood Protection Authority, Wilkes-Barre joins the ranks of Denver, Nashville, Huntington, W.V., and other cities with promising riverside parks – and the capability to capitalize on it. As you stroll the River Common, picture it as the setting for regattas, community theater presentations, polka (or punk rock) concerts, family picnics, wedding portraits (or entire wedding ceremonies), civic club activities, environmental education lessons, art shows, movies and an array of other community-enhancing events. Let the possibilities – and the potential of this place – wash over you. Yes, Wilkes-Barre is a river city. Wyoming Valley is a river community. We shouldn’t be afraid to immerse ourselves in all that the designation implies. After all, we are a river people.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “I broke a state violation, and reluctantly I have to take responsibility for that.” Anthony J. Munchak The Lackawanna County commissioner, who faces a bevy of public corruption-related charges, took the stand in Scranton’s federal court this week and admitted to botching campaign finance reports, which he characterized as a “mistake.” Munchak maintained, however, he never accepted kickbacks or acted with criminal intent.

OTHER OPINION: GAS PRICES

Oil speculators need to be curbed

RESIDENT OBAMA has a choice as the 2012 campaign looms. He can side with Wall Street manipulators who write big checks or he can protect ordinary consumers who vote. The president is courting the fat cats at the same time the public is learning more about the unfettered betting on oil prices. Almost 90 percent of the futures market is rank speculation by noncommercial traders, not buyers hedging against the vagaries of supply and demand. Even the OPEC oil cartel is grousing about the $15- to $20-abarrel of speculative price they see in current prices. The CEO of Exxon Mobil told Congress in

May that the year’s oil prices made no economic sense. Gary Gensler, chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, is pledging to tighten rules and re-establish caps on traders. Those rules came off a decade ago, but the Obama administration has had the authority since last year to provide consumer-protecting oversight. These markets functioned well, with stricter rules, before they were turned over to the gamblers in Las Vegas East. Mr. President, curb oil speculation and help consumers to keep billions of dollars.

Legislation would hurt consumers, help utility companies THE TRAGIC natural gas explosion in Allentown earlier this year truly brought home the need to improve utility infrastructure in order to provide safe and reliable service for utility customers. We in the General Assembly must do what we can to make that happen. However, state Rep. Robert Godshall’s House Bill 1294, soon to be considered by the full House of Representatives, is not the answer for consumers. It is, on the other hand, a huge windfall for natural gas, electric and wastewater utility companies. Here is an analogy to illustrate how HB 1294 would impact consumers. Imagine watching your local school board vote on a plan to raise property taxes. The school board president makes his case for the increase by saying the school district hired four new teachers this year and that a property tax increase would allow the district to pay their salaries. However, a discerning resident rises and asks: “Wait a minute, didn’t five teachers retire this year? Won’t those savings more than pay the new salaries?” To increase property taxes to pay for four new teachers when five other teachers retired would be irrational, irresponsible and plain infuriating for the taxpayers footing the bill. However, HB 1294 would allow utility companies to use this approach in determining utility costs for ratepayers. Under HB 1294, the Public Utility Commission would be able to approve requests of natural gas, electric and wastewater utility companies to automatically increase

MAIL BAG

STATE REP. PHYLLIS MUNDY their customer rates without having to prove that these increases are needed and without public input. This goes far beyond the fundamental concepts embodied in current ratemaking requirements that have protected consumers for decades. Currently, these utilities must prove to the PUC in a base rate case that they need to increase rates on an overall basis – that increased costs to update or expand their infrastructure outweigh any cost reductions or revenue increases. That is why most utilities receive much less than the amount they originally request, because the PUC determines during the case that the utility requested more of an increase than it actually needs. House Bill 1294 would remove this check and balance. It is critical to note that many utilities have gone 10 to 20 years without a single base rate increase. Take PECO Gas, for example. PECO went 20 years without increasing its delivery or service charges while significantly upgrading and expanding its delivery system. According to PECO, its rates remain among the lowest in Pennsylvania by saving customers money through the use of new technologies and through increasing sales, operational mergers and other efficiencies. This is how utility ratemaking is supposed to work. While needed infrastructure improvements might increase certain costs,

the addition of new customers, tax breaks, lower interest rates, new technology and other efficiencies provide more revenue and reduce other costs. Consumer Advocate Sonny Popowsky stated in his testimony on HB 1294 that, “The sweep of this provision is extraordinary in its scope and its potential impact on Pennsylvania utility consumers.” I could not agree more. I certainly recognize the need to improve utility infrastructure in Pennsylvania. But HB 1294 is the wrong answer for consumers. That’s why I will offer an amendment to this bill that would allow these companies to only raise rates high enough to recover the overall (net) increase in their costs. This would permit them to make necessary improvements without raising rates beyond what is needed to fund those improvements. I urge you to contact your state representative before the fast-approaching vote on this bill and ask him or her to support my amendment on your behalf – and, if the amendment fails, to vote against this anticonsumer bill. You can’t afford not to. State Rep. Phyllis Mundy, of Kingston, serves as Democratic chairwoman of the House Finance Committee. Visit www.pahouse.com/Mundy.

DOONESBURY: FLASHBACK

(“Eastern Pa. school district eliminates 145 jobs,” June 14), some districts are being forced to roll back their early education programs. Many Pennsylvania law enforcement leaders caution against such cuts because high-quality early care and education programs improve high school graduation rates, reduce crime and lower prison and other taxpayer costs. High school dropouts are dramatically more likely to be arrested and incarcerated. Long-term evaluations show that quality early learning programs boost high school graduation rates by as much as 44 percent and help to ensure a positive life trajectory for our most at-risk children. These programs help stop crime before it starts. For these reasons, the police chiefs, sheriffs and district attorneys of Fight Crime: Invest in Kids urge legislative leaders and the governor to preserve state funding for quality preschool, educational child care and full-day kindergarten in the final state budget.

RIVERFEST Continued from Page 1A

“We owe everything to our volunteers and partners,” Cotrone said while helping to clear sediment off of the boat launch. “Volunteers make it all work. If it weren’t for them, we could never pull this off.” Jim Brozena, executive director of the Luzerne County Flood Protection Authority, said recent high water levels left a lot of sediment and debris on the boat launch in Nesbitt Park, but it will be ready for today’s start of RiverFest. Angela Gavlick, who is coordinating the volunteer effort, said more than 50 people will come out to assist with traffic control, set up and tear down the tents, clean up at the end of each day, assist with children’s activities, assist kayakers, sell tickets, assist vendors and man the information booth. Gavlick said the volunteers were recruited by word of mouth, friends, posters, Facebook, past volunteers, advertisements and family members.

Practice times Saturday are: • 11 a.m. -- PA Water and PNC • Noon – The GUARD and WilkesBarre City • 1 p.m. – The Times Leader and Entercom • 2 p.m. – Wilkes-Barre General Hospital and Luzerne County

W E AT H E R F O R E C A S T Temperatures are predicted to be around 80 degrees each day of RiverFest. Showers could occur this evening. The Susquehanna River level was at 3.8 feet on Friday afternoon and should be around 3 feet through the weekend.

“Without volunteers, the event would not be able to grow and draw such large crowds,” Gavlick said. “Volunteers are instrumental in the success of this familyoriented river event.” Gavlick’s husband, Norm, a commissioner with the state Fish and Boat Commission, will be on the water helping with the dragon boats. He also helped procure the floating docks. John Maday, of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Com-

utive branches make changes to the way the board and its corresponding enforcement arm, the Court of Judicial Discipline, investigate and prosecute cases of judicial misconduct. Among them: • Increase funding for the judicial discipline system. The Judicial Conduct Board is a 12-member body charged with investigating more than 500 complaints a year and playing watchdog to more than 1,000 judges and magistrates. • Clarify procedures for emergency or temporary removal of a judge while a complaint is investigated when warranted by allegations of serious misconduct on the bench.

music and foreign-language courses. Those changes were expected to result in furloughs for about eight teachers. McLaughlin Smith said he would not give details about his conversation with teachers facing likely furlough because nothing is final. The state has until June 30 to pass a budget, and no furloughs will be official until the school board gives final approval to the local budget.

lobbying efforts were instrumental in separating the board into two separate bodies to investigate and prosecute misconduct, a move aimed at increasing nonpartisanship. The group hopes its report will supplement the findings of the Interbranch Commission on Juvenile Justice, a body assembled by the state government and courts to study the failure of the county justice system in the case of ex-judges Conahan and Ciavarella. “It’s not just in response to what happened or what didn’t happen in Luzerne (County); the Interbranch Commission did that,” Marks said. “We’re basically using what happened there as a springboard for looking at the system.” The report garners from media reports that officials, lawyers and others in the courthouse exhibited a pattern of “looking the other way” in the face of wideAnthony Weiner returns home Thursday after he announced his resignation from Congress in the Queens borough of New York.

spread corruption, and that complaints about Luzerne County judges had been filed with the Judicial Conduct Board but had not been investigated. In particular, the report refers to the testimony of board members before the Interbranch Commission on Juvenile Justice, which “revealed that in 2006, the board received an anonymous complaint alleging extensive corruption in the Luzerne County courthouse, including ex parte communications, case fixing, nepotism, changes to the handling of juvenile cases and an unusually high rate of placement of juveniles in private detention facilities.” But that report was not fully investigated, because the board’s chief counsel, Joseph A. Massa Jr, after initially recommending the complaint be investigated, asked that the matter be tabled while the prosecution of another Luzerne County

a team that is very excited about participating in this new event. We even have a waiting list of potential rowers in case someone has to drop out at the last minute.” Karl Borton Jr., director of River Common Programming and Outreach, said RiverFest is one of Wilkes-Barre’s largest festivals, drawing 5,000-plus annual participants. “It’s an event where you could kayak the river, participate in fun activities and see some of the most talented musicians, artists, and entertainers on the East Coast,” Borton said. “And all in three short days.”

judge, Ann Lokuta, proceeded. The board still has not offered a satisfactory reason for that recommendation, the report states. Ultimately, “the board’s handling of the complaints it received regarding Luzerne County undermined confidence in its willingness and ability to protect the public from judicial misconduct,” the report states. Marks added that the need for transparency and accountability must be tempered with protections for judges against unfounded allegations, but she said the board itself is open to criticism and has commissioned its own, independent study of its operations. “Even the conduct board themselves thought they needed some counseling,” Marks said. “What’s really important is that we have a judicial discipline system and that it’s accountable.”

her blog. He then contacted her on Twitter, Lee said. They mostly discussed politics, but he would often turn the conversation to sex, she said. “ ‘I have wardrobe demands, too. I need to highlight my package,’ ” Weiner wrote Lee, in an email read aloud at the news conference by Lee’s attorney. Weiner’s initial reaction after the first photo became public more than two weeks ago was to lie, and he did so repeatedly, saying his Twitter account had been hacked. But he pointedly did not report the incident to law enforcement — a step that could have opened him to charges of far more serious wrongdoing. Nor were his public denials persuasive, especially when he told one interviewer he could not “say with certitude” that he wasn’t the faceless man in the underwear photo. His eventual confession triggered a tabloid-style frenzy in print and online that only grew

more pronounced a few days later when an X-rated photo surfaced on a website. After initially calling for a House ethics investigation, Pelosi ramped up the pressure on Saturday when she joined with Israel and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, leader of the Democratic National Committee, in calling on Weiner to step down. President Barack Obama added to the pressure two days later, saying if he were in Weiner’s situation, he would resign. On Wednesday, Democrats let it be known the party’s leadership in the House would be meeting within 24 hours to consider sanctions against Weiner, including possibly stripping him of his committee assignment. Officials said Weiner informed Pelosi and Rep. Steve Israel of New York, the head of the party campaign committee, of his plans to quit as they attended a White House picnic on Wednesday evening.

promising political career — or merely a painful pause of uncertain duration. “Now I’ll be looking for other ways to contribute my talents so that we live up to that most New York and American of ideals,” he said. Nor did he explain his presence in New York, several days

after issuing a statement that said he was seeking treatment. Other Democrats said he had left the city to do so. He had succeeded his mentor, Sen. Chuck Schumer, who vacated the seat to run for the Senate. The senator, one of a few prominent Democratic leaders who did not call for Weiner’s resigna-

tion, issued a statement saying the congressman “has served his community, city and country well for over two decades.” Weiner’s departure marks the end of a bizarre period born of the New Yorker’s use of social media such as Twitter and Facebook. His problems began on May 28 when a website run by conservative commentator Andrew Breitbart posted a lewd photograph of an underwear-clad crotch and said it had been sent from Weiner’s Twitter account to a Seattle woman. And as the scandalous chapter neared its conclusion, a former pornography actress who exchanged emails and messages over Twitter with him said Wednesday at a news conference he had asked her to lie about their interactions. Ginger Lee said she and Weiner exchanged about 100 emails between March and June after Lee posted a supportive statement about the congressman on

A meeting is set for June 23, board member Gene Mancini said. Under state law, the district cannot lay off teachers simply because money is short. The district must show a dramatic drop in enrollment – clearly not the case in Crestwood, where the board has struggled with the need for more space – or cut programs completely. Mancini noted the district can’t simply cut one English class, say, and make the others larger to lay off a teacher. Instead, the board had to drop entire programs such as full-day

kindergarten. The state must approve plans to drop a program, but the district is required to notify teachers who may be affected before the plans are finalized, Mancini said. The law also requires that teachers with the least seniority be furloughed first, which means those teachers who are in the programs being cut aren’t necessarily the ones losing their jobs. If they have seniority and the appropriate certifications, they can move to another job, “bumping” someone with less seniority.

Most local districts expect to curb staff in the upcoming year, though many are trying to do it through attrition, not furlough. Wilkes-Barre Area, for example, does not plan to replace many of the 13 people who submitted retirement notices this year. Lake-Lehman School District was the first to acknowledge furloughs would be necessary, and on May 2 Superintendent James McGovern began notifying the teachers likely to lose their jobs. The district’s preliminary budget FRED ADAMS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER called for the loss of up to seven teachers. Crestwood School District teachers were notified about layoffs.

He declined to answer questions, leaving unaddressed whether he envisioned his resignation as the end of a once-

Runs rain down on SWB Yanks

Defending IL champion Columbus powers past Yankees for rain-shortened victory. By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

MOOSIC – The red-hot Columbus Clippers arrived at PNC Field on Thursday for the first of a four-game set with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The Clippers, who are the defending Governors’ Cup champions and have the best record in the International League, also entered with an eight-game winning streak. They flexed their muscles and showed a glimpse of why they are the best in the league Thursday night, defeating the Yankees 8-1 in a game that ended after seven and half innings because of rain. CLIPPERS Columbus’ offense erupted for seven runs after a 1 hour, 28 minute rain delay to blow a close game wide open. A secYANKEES ond rain delay halted the game again a little after 11 p.m. In the fifth, a two-run home run by second baseman Jason Kipnis against SWB righty Lance Pendleton, who was optioned to Scranton/WilkesBarre from New York earlier in the day, gave Columbus a 3-0 lead. The game was still within reach at that point. But a five-run seventh for the Clippers, when they sent 10 batters to the plate pushed the lead to 8-0. The big blows of the inning were two-run doubles by former SWB Yankee Chad Huffman and Ezequiel Carrera.

AUTO RACING

Tomorrow three eliminations of the brand new Earl Beal Jr Memorial take place on a stout Saturday night racing program. Many Hambletonian hopefuls are entered in this new stake race, including early Hambo favorite Pastor Stephen. Unlike the Hempt and the Lynch stakes, more of the stars of the future invade Pocono with hopes of taking down a big piece of that $500,000 Final to be contested next Saturday, June 25th. I for one am looking forward at seeing these stacked up eliminations; they should be fun to watch for sure! BEST BET: SPEED BOMB (10TH) VALUE PLAY: COLDHEARTEDREVENGE (3RD)

Lee stars as Phils complete sweep The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Cliff Lee tossed a two-hitter and had two hits and an RBI, helping the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Florida Marlins 3-0 Thursday to complete a four-game sweep and win their seventh in a row. Lee (7-5) didn’t allow a hit until Mike Stanton grounded a single to center with two outs in the fifth. He struck out four and walked two to record his seventh career shutout and second this season. Ryan Howard homered for the NL East-leading Phillies, who improved their major league-best record to 44-26. The struggling Marlins have lost 15 of 16. They were 29-19 and just one game behind Philadelphia after a 1-0 victory in San Francisco on May 26. But they’re 3-18 since and have fallen 111⁄2 games out.

AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Gardner delivers for Yankees in 12th The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Journeyman Brian Gordon kept the New York Yankees close in a most unlikely start, then Brett Gardner hit a winning single in the 12th inning that as the Yankees defeated the Rangers 3-2 Thursday. The Yankees became the first team to sweep AL champion Texas this year. New York won for the sixth time in seven tries and sent the Rangers to their season-worst fifth loss in a row. Gordon signed with the Yankees this week and pitched effectively, allowing two runs on seven hits and three walks in 5 1-3 innings. Cory Wade (1-0), who also signed with the Yankees this week, pitched two perfect innings for the win. Twins 1, White Sox 0

MINNEAPOLIS — Nick Blackburn pitched eight shutout innings for the Minnesota Twins, and Michael Cuddyer’s home run was enough to beat Mark Buehrle and the Chicago White Sox. Buehrle was beaten despite giving up just three hits over seven innings, and the White Sox fell to 0-4 this year against their division rival — scoring a total of three runs in the process. Tigers 6, Indians 2

DETROIT — Jhonny Peralta and Ryan Raburn hit back-toback, solo homers in the fourth inning, Detroit moved a game ahead of Cleveland for first place in the AL Central. The Tigers won twice in the three-game series, giving them 13 wins in 18 games. The Indi-

ans, on the other hand, have dropped 16 of 22. Max Scherzer (9-3) gave up two runs and four hits, walked two and hit two batters over 5 2-3 innings for Detroit. Orioles 4, Blue Jays 3

TORONTO — Jeremy Guthrie pitched five shutout innings before a strained back forced him to leave the game, and Baltimore scored two runs in the ninth for the win. Vladimir Guerrero and Luke Scott opened the ninth with back-to-back singles against Toronto closer Jon Rauch (2-3). Derek Lee followed with a swinging bunt that Blue Jays third baseman Jayson Nix charged on, but Nix’s throw home was high, allowing pinch-runner Nolan Reimold to score for a 3-2 Orioles lead. Ryan Adams later added an RBI single. Red Sox 4, Rays 2

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Adrian Gonzalez homered and David Ortiz, Darnell McDonald and Dustin Pedroia drove in runs to back starter Clay Buchholz and lead the Boston Red Sox to a victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. The win was the 11th in 12 games for the AL East leaders, who concluded a 10-day, ninegame trip with an 8-1 record — Boston’s best mark on a trip of at least nine games since 1977. The Red Sox retained a 11⁄2-game lead over the New York Yankees in the division and dropped the third-place Rays 51⁄2 off the pace by rebounding from losing the opener of the three-game series to win the final two.

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com

Mickelson smiling despite his ‘horrific’ round By JIM LITKE AP Sports Writer

BETHESDA, Md. — It’s rare anytime a round of 74 makes a pro golfer smile. Especially Phil Mickelson. And on his birthday, no less. “This actually turned out to be a great day,” Mickelson said, “because I played horrific.” That’s no exaggeration. The lefthander saw more of the rough than some course mowers did getting the Congressional layout ready earlier this week. He hit only five of 14 fairways and eight of 18 greens, yet somehow salvaged a 3-over round Thursday that left him nine strokes behind leader and opening-round playing partner Rory McIlory. The Northern Irishman’s 65

marked the third time that McIlroy, just 22, has gone that low in a major. Mickelson, who’s 41 and has been playing more than two decades, has managed to go that low in a major just twice. And in an odd twist, Mickelson also wound up playing alongside firstround leader Colin Montgomerie in 1997, the last time the U.S. Open was played at this course. He shot 75 that day. “It was fun to watch,” Mickelson said, referring to McIlroy’s round, “although I didn’t see much of it.” That’s because he had enough trouble keeping an eye on his own golf ball. Mickelson dunked his first shot of the day into a pond at the par-3 10th, then blocked the first of several 2-iron tee shots way left of the fairway at

No. 14. The ball landed deep enough into the rough that Mickelson quickly hit a provisional before finding the original ball. At No. 16, another of Mickelson’s tee shots settled into such gnarly rough down the left side that he punched out using a driver. At No. 3, yet another wayward tee shot forced him to play his next shot off a cart path. “A lot of times, this happens for me when I take a week off before a major,” Mickelson said. “I come out and play tight and swing tentative. ... “I don’t normally play four days perfectly, so this was my bad round and, hopefully, I’ll get it turned around tomorrow. I get an early tee time. I’ll have a course in good shape for the morning and see if I can come out with a low

score.” Mickelson’s buoyant mood surely had something to do with the presence of his wife, Amy, who is recovering from a bout with breast cancer. She has begun traveling with her husband again, at least at major events. And right after the round, the two sat down at a table in the clubhouse at Congressional alongside Dustin Johnson, the third member of Mickelson’s group, and got a headstart on his birthday celebration with a couple of mini-burgers. Considering how much work he’d already done to get there, he AP PHOTO had plenty of reasons to smile. “To be able to shoot what I did Phil Mickelson reacts to his shot from the 10th tee during the first from where I did,” Mickelson round of the U.S. Open Championship golf tournament in Bethesda, Md., Thursday. said, “I’ll gladly take it.”

STAIR Continued from Page 1B

Stairs is actually the second assistant superintendent on Congressional’s Gold Course. The Open is being played on the club’s other 18-hole layout, the Blue Course. Still Stairs has been plenty busy the last few weeks. A lot of his time has been spent getting the course ready for the numerous tents and grandstands that come along with the Open. “The past few months I have been doing a lot of tracking and marking of underground irriga-

tion pipe (mainly on the Gold course) by using a special wire tracking device,” the 24-year-old said. “Typically, you can hook into the wire at an irrigation satellite and the device sends a current through the wire which can be detected above ground with a handheld ‘wand,’ which makes a unique noise when you are directly above the wire.” Finding out exactly where the pipes are located is key to keeping them from being punctured by any of the posts that have to be driven into the ground. Mistakes still happen, however, and that has added to Stair’s work as well. “There have been roughly 10

get yourself around the golf course.” He took a route unlike any other player on an overcast day with a few light showers just as he finished up his round. McIlroy was three shots clear of former PGA champion Y.E. Yang and Charl Schwartzel, the South African who captured the Masters two months ago at McIlroy’s expense. “It’s a long way to go, but it’s nice to get yourself in contention,” Schwartzel said. “If you start falling too far behind on a tough golf course, things can get a little bit too far in front of you. You need to stay in there with a chance.” British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen was at 69, joining a small group that included Sergio Garcia and Ryan Palmer, the lone American among the nine players who broke 70. Defending champion Graeme McDowell had a 70. Phil Mickelson played alongside McIlroy, and it must have looked familiar. The last time the U.S. Open came to Congressional in 1997, Mickelson played with Colin Montgomerie, who also shot 65. “The game’s easy when you hit it straight and make every putt,” Mickelson said, referring to McIlroy. “It’s a wonderful game. No course is too tough when you hit like that. He played terrific. It was fun to watch — although I didn’t see much of it.” McIlroy was walking down the center of most fairways, cracked pipes resulting from the hammering,” he said. “Thus, irrigation fixes have consumed a good deal of my time the past few weeks as well. “Additionally, I have been carrying out chemical applications on both courses on greens, tees, fairways and rough.” And as Carl Spackler will tell you, any good golf course superintendent is going to spend some time watering grass. Stair has done plenty of that, too. All to get the Bethesda, Md., course ready for the world’s greatest golfers. Oddly enough much of the course that Stair typically works

picking out the 100-yard and 150yard yardage plates as his targets and hitting most of them. Mickelson was all over the map, hitting only five fairways. He hacked out of grass up his knees on one hole, and on another hit driver from under the trees to get back into play. He wound up with a 74, a stunning score from where he was playing. Mickelson wasn’t alone in his disappointment. The top three players in the world — Luke Donald, Lee Westwood and Martin Kaymer — combined to go 10-over par. Donald struggled with his accuracy and couldn’t cope with the thick rough and shot 74 despite his birdie-birdie start. Kaymer also had a 74, while Westwood staggered to a 75, his worst opening round at the U.S. Open in 10 years. “It’s not a very good score because I think the course is there for the taking,” said Westwood, who played in the morning. “Obviously, it’s a tough test, but I thought the golf course was set up great today. If you played well ... I’m quite surprised that no one has gone out and shot 66, to be honest.” Right about that time, McIlroy was on his way to the first tee, and he wound up doing one better. It was exquisite golf, starting with a 3-wood he drilled into the corner of the dogleg on No. 12 that set up sand wedge to 6 feet for his first birdie. McIlroy really hit his stride around the turn — an 8-iron to 10 feet on No. 17, another beautiful drive and 8-iron into the 15 feet left of the pin on the 18th, and a lob wedge to 6 feet on No. 1. on hardly resembles anything even a weekend duffer would want to play. “Holes 1 through 6 and 15 through 18 of the Gold Course basically serve as U.S. Open infrastructure,” Stairs said. “What this means is that many of these holes are basically covered in gravel. “For instance, No. 6’s rough and fairway of the Gold course serves as the main bus stop for the majority of the crowd.” Stair said that the fact that he loves sports and being outdoors makes this the perfect job for him. “Once I began to play golf, I became aware of the career options

The only time he flirted with bogey came on the 14th, when he went from deep rough into a bunker and had to hole a 15-foot putt for par, as long as any putt he made all day. So pure was his golf that McIlroy, who tied a major championship record with a 63 in the British Open at St. Andrews last summer, began to think he could do it again. He laced a 3-iron over the water and onto the fringe to about 15 feet on the par-5 sixth and missed his eagle attempt, then came home in pars. “It’s a major championship, and the toughest major championship of them all is the U.S. Open, and you can’t let any other thoughts get in your head,” McIlroy said. “You’re just trying to concentrate entirely on your game, and trying to get that ball around the course in as few strokes as possible.” McIlroy followed that 63 at the British Open with a windblown 80 that knocked him out of contention. He held the lead at the Masters all the way until the final round. There’s no telling what awaits at Congressional. He became the 10th player to start the U.S. Open at 65 or better, yet only two of them went on to win — Jack Nicklaus in 1980 at Baltusrol and Tiger Woods in 2000 at Pebble Beach. And of the previous eight players to hold a three-shot lead after the opening round — Jerry Pate in 1976 was the last one — only Ben Hogan in 1953 at Oakmont wound up with the trophy. McIlroy understands that from St. Andrews. “I learned that it’s a long way to go, even after that 63,” he said. available in this field and really began enjoying the work,” he said. He earned a bachelor of science degree in Turfgrass and Soil Science from the University of Connecticut. His busy schedule this weekend will limit the amount of time he will have to spend watching the Open. But when he gets a chance, he has some favorite golfers he will be following. “My favorite players I’ll be pulling for probably are Phil Mickelson, Rickie Fowler and Dustin Johnson,” he said. Hopefully for Stair, they will avoid his handy work on the back nine.

NBA champions get a celebration fit for a king Thousands cheer on Nowitzki, Mavs at victory parade By JAIME ARON AP Sports Writer

been scheduled for 1 p.m., but was switched with the Class A title game because the Tigers have to get back home for graduation at 7 p.m. Five senior players on the squad – Kyle Custer, Ryan Goodwin, Mike Healey, Mike Papi and Ty Saylor – are all starters hoping to squeeze in a gold medal ceremony before their commencement ceremony. As far as which one of them starts on the mound, Healey figures to be the favorite for the job. But anything is a possibility after the Tigers surprised many by giving Mike Papi his first start in more than a year in the semifinals. That decision couldn’t have worked out better for Tunkhannock, as Papi went six innings and combined with Chase Knott on a no-hitter in a 9-0 win over Blue Mountain. “That definitely helps (your confidence),” Healey said after Monday’s gem. “You want to keep that kind of performance going.” Healey is 3-0 with a 2.00 ERA in four postseason starts, striking out 26 and walking just four in 21 innings. His last two starts have been especially impressive. In the District 2 title game against West Scranton, the UConn recruit pitched a six-inning one-hitter in a 10-0 win. In the state quarterfinals vs. Mechanicsburg, he again went the distance, allowing just three hits in a 4-1 victory. In those 13 innings, Healey has 17 strikeouts and hasn’t walked a batter. Northern (22-5) has some impressive talent of its own, rebounding from a loss to Twin Valley in the District 3 semifinals to

DALLAS — The face of the Dallas Mavericks laughed, sang and even seemed to tear up. For Dirk Nowitzki, the only thing that could come close to being an NBA champion for the first time was celebrating it with the fans in his adopted hometown of Dallas. An estimated crowd of 200,000 crammed downtown Thursday morning for a parade in the team’s honor, with another 20,000 or so filling the arena for a rally filled with emotional moments. After waiting 31 years for the franchise to be atop the NBA, fans honored the feat in a way that many said was worth the wait. Dallas wrapped up the title in Miami on Sunday night so, other than their airport arrival, this was the first chance for fans to show their appreciation in person. They were peaceful, too, unlike the

scene in Vancouver following the end of the Stanley Cup finals on Wednesday night, and the commotion during a Cowboys championship parade in 1993. Dallas police said the biggest problem was a fight that resulted in three arrests. There also were145 minor medical treatments, mostly because of heat that approached 90 degrees. Nine people were taken to hospitals for heat exhaustion. Nowitzki was the unquestioned star of the show, drawing the loudest cheers from start to finish — usually chants of “M! V! P!” There were German flags in the crowd, a sign calling him “Der Kaiser” and cut-out letters that spelled “Thank you Dirk.” After the parade and before the rally, Nowitzki and his teammates went to the balcony of the arena and spoke briefly to the crowd. Nowitzki capped it by leading a rousing rendition of their new favorite song, “We Are The Champions.” More singing came during the rally,

when team owner Mark Cuban serenaded Nowitzki with “Happy Birthday”; he turns 33 on Sunday. Nowitzki got into it, too, pretending to conduct. But this day had two other emotional crescendos for Nowitzki. The first came when coach Rick Carlisle said, “You’re looking at the best basketball team on the planet. It’s also very clear we have in our presence the greatest basketball player on the planet.” The overhead jumbo board showed a closeup shot of Nowitzki wiping his eyes. When it was Nowitzki’s turn to speak, his teammates and Cuban were among those standing and chanting “MVP.” Nowitzki bit his bottom lip and looked down. He was too overcome with emotion to answer the first question from coemcee Chuck Cooperstein. “It’s been an amazing ride, an amazing journey,” Nowitzki said. “It’s been a lot of ups and a lot of downs. This is the top of the iceberg. It feels absolutely amazing.”

He relived his journey from a 19-yearold draftee with a bowl cut and a bad earring — “just a bad look,” he said with a smile — to the greatest player in team history, a former league MVP and the newly minted finals MVP. “I didn’t really know what to expect,” he said of his early days in Dallas. “It’s been an amazing ride and you guys have been with me every step of the way. This is for our fans!” Another highly charged moment came when it was Cuban’s turn to speak. He couldn’t. The rambunctious billionaire determined to do things his way seemed awed by the moment, surely thinking about his own journey from a fan who used to buy scalped tickets to buying the club in January 2000. When Cooperstein joked about this being “a long way from Reunion Arena,” Cuban just shook his head, lips pinched.

Regardless of today’s outcome, Tigers players and coaches have enjoyed the season and the support they’ve received from the large crowds of vocal Tunkhannock students and fans that have followed the team from venue to venue. “I can’t wait to come to the field everyday,” a laughing Custer said, his voice rising. “It’s the funniest thing.

YANKEES Continued from Page 1B

The Yankees scored a run in the bottom of the seventh on a sacrifice fly by Gustavo Molina. Before the 88-minute delay, David Phelps got the start for the Yankees and only allowed one run in four innings. That run came across in the top of the first when the first three Clippers reached bases against the righty. The run scored when former Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre Yankee Shelley Duncan poked a single to center scoring leadoff hitter Ezequiel Carrera. But like many of his previous starts, Phelps settled down after that and retired the next three hitters to prevent further damage. He only gave up two more hits the rest of the time he was on the mound while fanning five. Zach McCallister, another former SWB Yankee, got the start for the Clippers. He also was removed after the rain delay going four innings. He also got in mild trouble in the first in-

Ex-WBS Pens coach Yeo gets chance to run Wild

Venus loses in 3 sets at Eastbourne

By DAVE CAMPBELL AP Sports Writer

MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Wild have made Mike Yeo their new head coach, according to a person with knowledge of the decision. The person spoke to The Associated Press Thursday on condition of anonymity because the team had not announced the hire. The Wild called a Friday news conference at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, their home arena. Twin Cities radio station KFAN-AM first reported Yeo’s hire. Yeo will be the third coach in club history, replacing Todd Richards. He led the Wild’s top farm club in Houston to the American Hockey League finals this season, his only year as coach of the Aeros. Richards was fired after two years without a playoff appearance.

The 37-year-old Yeo spent five seasons as an assistant coach with the Pittsburgh Penguins, helping them win the Stanley Cup championship in 2009. He has never been an NHL head coach, like Richards, but his NHL experience was more significant than his predecessor. Yeo played four seasons of junior hockey in Canada and five seasons with the Aeros in the minor leagues before a career-ending knee injury. The native of North Bay, Ontario, was an assistant for six seasons with Pittsburgh’s AHL affiliate in WilkesBarre/Scranton before making the jump to the Penguins in 2005. Jacques Lemaire was the Wild’s only coach from their inception in the fall of 2000 until he resigned in April 2009. Under Richards, the Wild were often undermanned, with injuries piling up and a lack of top prospects

who were contributing, and they had an eight-game losing streak last March and finished in 12th place in the Western Conference. The Wild went 39-35-8, 11 points out of the final playoff spot. The 44-year-old Richards went 77-71-16 in his two seasons. The Wild have made the playoffs three times in their 10-year history: 2003, ’07 and ’08. They’ve passed the first round once.

EASTBOURNE, England — Venus Williams lost to Daniela Hantuchova 6-2, 5-7, 6-2 in the quarterfinals Thursday, exiting Eastbourne a day after her sister was defeated but still pleased with her Wimbledon preparation in her return to tennis. Both sisters are back after lengthy injury breaks. Venus was playing her first event in five months since retiring with hip and abdominal injuries during the Australian Open in January. Venus said she heads to Wimbledon with plenty of confidence as she targets a sixth title at the All England Club. The tournament begins Monday. “I played a lot of matches here, spent a lot of time on the court,” Williams said. “It’s not the best luck today, but I feel good about my preparation. “I feel really positive about my matches here. I thought I played pretty good. I thought more than anything I was able to get a lot of great competition. This has been ideal.” Hantuchova had previously

won only two sets in 10 previous meetings with Venus. But she has been in good form recently, reaching the Birmingham final last week. She advances to a semifinal against fifth-seeded Petra Kvitova, who beat Agnieszka Radwanska 1-6, 6-2, 7-6 (2). “I was really looking forward to the match today, and really pleased that I was able to win,” Hantuchova said. “It’s obviously nice to see (the Williams sisters) both back. I think they’re great for the game.” Samantha Stosur defeated topseed Vera Zvonareva 4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-4 on Thursday, the seventh straight win over her Russian opponent. Zvonareva needed three sets Wednesday to defeat Serena Williams, who was sidelined nearly a year because of foot surgeries and blood clots in her lungs. Zvonareva led 4-2 in the second set against Stosur, but lost the tiebreaker. Stosur won the first four games of the deciding set en route to victory. Stosur will meet Marion Barto-

li in the semifinals on Friday. Bartoli advanced when 2010 runnerup Victoria Azarenka retired with a right groin injury while trailing 6-2, 2-0. Hantuchova dominated the listless Williams in the first set, serving well, playing aggressively and showing confidence in going for the lines. The former No. 5-ranked Slovak broke in the third game after Williams double-faulted and then made a backhand error. She broke again to lead 5-2 with a superbly struck backhand pass down the line. Williams offered a brief challenge as Hantuchova served for the set but failed to convert three break points. Hantuchova closed out the set with a crosscourt winner. “I definitely wish I could have came out harder,” Williams said. “I think she was a little bit tentative in the beginning, and then to lose serve wasn’t ideal, but I definitely thought I was gonna break back. That didn’t work out the way I wanted to.”

Riot causes many injuries, arrests By JEREMY HAINSWORTH Associated Press

Bruins return with Cup By HOWARD ULMAN AP Sports Writer

BOSTON — The Stanley Cup glistened in the morning sun, the nearly 35-pound symbol of NHL supremacy raised high over the head of 255-pound Zdeno Chara. Then, the captain of the champion Boston Bruins lowered it to his knees. He patiently answered reporters’ questions after a night of little sleep and much joy on a flight from one side of North America to the other — from the disappointed city of Vancouver to the title town of Boston. For the 6-foot-9 defenseman and his gritty teammates, the first club to win three sevengame series in a single postseason, the heavy lifting was over. The celebration was on. “We are pretty OK with that weight,” Chara said Thursday, the Cup in his grasp just as it was when he was the first to hoist it after the Bruins’ 4-0 win in Game 7 over the Canucks less than 12 hours earlier. He walked over to some of the about 500 fans who had gath-

ered outside TD Garden, where the Bruins were 3-0 in the series, outscoring the Canucks 17-3. He let some of them touch the coveted trophy that hadn’t been in Bruins hands in 39 years. “It’s unbelievable. It’s very exciting for the whole city, for us, for the whole organization. It’s a very special day,” said Chara, one of the NHL’s top defenseman but never a champion in his previous12 NHL seasons. “We’re very honored to be here. We’re so happy.” They won with Brad Marchand, a rookie pest, and Patrice Bergeron, who missed most of the 2007-08 season with a concussion. Each had two goals in the clincher. First-line right wing Nathan Horton was on the ice to hold the Cup but hadn’t played after sustaining a severe concussion on a late hit by defenseman Aaron Rome just 5:07 into Game 3. The Bruins did have midseason pickups Rich Peverley and Chris Kelly, playoff scoring leader David Krejci, and, of course, feisty, focused goalie Tim Thomas. “We went out there on a mis-

sion, came back champions,” Marchand said. “We proved we were the best team in the world.” They did it with team depth and determination. “We’re blue collar, not flashy,” hard-hitting right wing Shawn Thornton said. “We work hard. We take pride in that.” The Bruins hadn’t won the title since 1972 and that team’s name was erroneously engraved on the Cup as the BQSTQN BRUINS. This year, Thomas provided the Os — as in the number of goals he allowed in two of the last four games against the Canucks. He gave up just eight goals in the seven games to the highestscoring team in the regular season — the same number Vancouver’s Roberto Luongo allowed in Game 3 alone. “After the game, I was kind of in shock. I still am to some extent,” the normally unshakable Thomas said after stepping down from one of the two buses that took the team on the short ride from Logan International Airport, where the plane landed at about 8:30 a.m.

caused trouble through the same streets the day after the 2010 Winter Olympics opened in 2010. “These were people who came equipped with masks, goggles and gasoline,” he said. “They had a plan.” Chu said those who stood by and filmed and cheered also bear some responsibility. Assistant Fire Chief Wade Pierlot said people had to be rescued from rooftops and bathrooms where they had hidden for safety. He said some people moved burning dumpsters away from buildings to prevent further damage. In Boston, five men arrested during celebrations of the Bruins’ win appeared in municipal court Thursday. Police said one man en-

couraged a crowd near TD Garden to turn on police and dared officers to arrest him. Authorities said when at first they didn’t, he shouted obscenities, took off his shirt and threw his belt at the officers. He was arrested on charges including inciting a riot and disorderly conduct. Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson said “organized hoodlums bent on creating chaos incited the riot” and noted the city proved with the 2010 Winter Olympics that it could hold peaceful gatherings. A local business leader estimated more than 50 businesses were damaged. “They were here to make trouble and they succeeded,” Robertson said.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Almost150 people required hospital treatment and close to 100 were arrested after rioters swept through downtown Vancouver following a Canucks loss to the Boston Bruins in the decisive Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final. Vancouver Coastal Health spokeswoman Anna Marie D’Angelo said Thursday that three stabbing victims had been admitted and an unidentified man was in critical condition with head injuries after a fall from a viaduct. She said most of the rioting victims were treated at St. Paul’s Hospital, while about 40, including the stabbing cases and the head injury patient, were being treated at Vancouver General Hospital. Rioting and looting left cars burned, stores in shambles and windows shattered over a roughly 10-block radius of the city’s main shopping district. Police Chief Jim Chu said nine officers were injured, including one who required14 stitches after being hit with a thrown brick. Chu said some officers suffered bite marks. He said 15 cars were burned, including two police cars. He called those who incited the riot “criminals and anarchists” and said officers identified some in the crowd as the same people who smashed windows and

The Conference Board’s Index of Leading Indicators tries to predict how the economy will do in the future. The index makes a forecast based on 10 indicators that tend to show changes before the rest of the economy – things like how many hours manufacturing workers put in each week and how fast vendors deliver merchandise. In April, the index showed a drop for the first time in 10 months. Economists expect the May report to tick back up.

Individual investors are getting a little more confident that stocks will go up over the next six months. A weekly survey by the American Association of Individual Investors showed bullish sentiment rose 4.6 percentage points from last week to 29 percent. But 43 percent of those surveyed still believe the market will slide further. Twenty-eight percent think the market will stay roughly where it is.

Mixed news stunts trading

U.S. stocks recovered to end mostly higher Thursday after a choppy session had Wall Street veering between the debt crisis in Greece and U.S. economic data that offered some respite. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 64.25 points, or 0.5 percent, to 11,961.52, a level that leaves it 0.5 percent higher than last Friday’s close. Up 0.2 percent on the week, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index climbed 2.22 points, or 0.2 percent. The Nasdaq Composite Index fell 7.76 points, or 0.3 percent, to 2,623.70, down 0.3 percent on the week.

Home prices a mixed bag

The U.S. average is $293,000. In Mountain Top the average asking price is $301,358, according to the report. In Dallas it’s $301,571 and in Clarks Summit the price is $304,022. While those prices are in the middle of statewide real estate markets, the cities of Wilkes-Barre and Scranton are near the bottom. The report found the average asking price in Wilkes-Barre to be $113,708, third-lowest in Pennsylvania. Scranton was right behind at $135,973. The most expensive market in the nation was Newport Beach, Calif., at an average of $2.5 million. Niagara Falls, N,Y., had the lowest average price, $60,820.

Delta flights to Atlanta returning to area By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

FEDS MAY FINE CARRIER

PITTSTON TWP. – Delta Airlines will begin daily nonstop jet service from the WilkesBarre/Scranton International Airport to Atlanta on Sept. 7. Flights from Avoca to Atlanta’s Hartsfield International Airport started in 1993 and at one time there were three 737s departing daily. But in 2009, Delta pulled the flights, claiming “the flights weren’t generating money, even though they were near capacity,” Barry J. Centini, airport director, said. But then the Marcellus Shale natural gas drilling boom came to Northeastern and North Central Pennsylvania and an interest in what Centini called “southerly flights.” With many of the gas drilling operators headquartered in Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana, flights to major southern hubs were viewed as sound business decisions for the airport and the airlines. Increased passenger traffic at Avoca, at a time other airports are struggling, was a major selling point, as were figures that show more than 30 people are flying out of WilkesBarre/Scranton each day heading to airports for connector flights to Dallas, Texas. Centini said that with Atlanta crossed off the to-do list, he is next eyeing flights to Boston, Pittsburgh, Washington, Orlando, Myr-

Federal aviation officials are proposing a $425,000 fine for the regional carrier that is scheduled to offer service from Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton International Airport to Atlanta in September. Atlantic Southeast Airlines, is accused of flying planes that had been struck by lightning without performing required maintenance checks. The Federal Aviation Administration said Thursday that Atlantic Southeast, flying under the name Delta Connection, flew two airliners a total of 13 times after they had been struck by lightning before making the required inspections. The lightning strikes took place in 2008. Airlines are supposed to conduct a detailed check for damage after a lightning strike. An airline spokeswoman said she was reviewing the proposed fine.

tle Beach and Dallas. “Atlanta service has been our number one priority. We are really excited to have the Delta connection provide this service to our area business and leisure air travelers,” said Centini. Delta Connection carrier Atlantic Southeast Airlines will operate the daily flight using a 50-seat Canadair regional jet. The flights will depart Avoca at 5:35 p.m. and arrive in Atlanta at 7:55 p.m. A flight from Atlanta will depart at 2:45 p.m. and arrive locally at 5:05 p.m.

Airport parking at a premium By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

PITTSTON TWP. – The 200 additional parking spots planned for the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton International Airport this fall can’t come soon enough. Nearly 20,000 vehicles used the airport’s 1,110 surface parking or parking garage spaces in May, a 19.3 percent increase from May 2010. While the gas drilling industry is given most of the credit for the increased traffic, it’s not the only reason. Barry J. Centini, the airport’s director, said New Jersey and New York license plates account for 5.5 percent of the vehicles. “That I attribute to people coming down for the fares,” he said, noting that prices for flights out of Avoca have been competitive with and in some cases lower than flights leav-

Energy Transfer Equity LP said Thursday it will buy Southern Union Co. for $7.9 billion, including debt assumption, in a deal to bulk up its natural-gas transport business with an additional 20,000 miles of pipelines. The deal comes as demand for U.S. gas infrastructure grows to handle increased oil and gas production from shale gas and oil fields. Under the deal, Southern Union Co. shareholders will exchange their common shares for newly issued Series B units at a value of $33 a share, or $4.2 billion.The price values Southern Union at a premium of 17 percent over its Wednesday closing price. The company was briefly headquartered in Wilkes-Barre and then Scranton after its acquisition of the former Pennsylvania Gas & Water in 1999.

ing Newark, Philadelphia and New York City airports. Centini noted that overall enplanements increased 20 percent in May, the largest on record at the airport. “That’s a huge jump,” Centini said. “And it was in May.” He said June, July and August are the months when travel really picks up. “If these types of increases continue,” Centini said, “we could be running out of parking.” The parking project is still in the design phase but Centini said he believed it could be bid out next month and completed in less than two months. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has allocated up to $215,000 toward the project. The airport would have to pay the rest. Centini aid he did not envision the overall project costing more than $500,000.

Toyota production levels to rise

By JOE FLINT Los Angeles Times

The unemployment rate in Pennsylvania slipped to 7.4 percent in May, down from 7.5 percent in April and 1.3 percent from the May 2010 rate of 8.7 percent, the state Department of Labor & Industry announced Thursday. The decrease occurred as both the number of people working and the number unemployed fell from April. The total number of nonfarm jobs in Pennsylvania also declined, by 14,200 to 5,678,700. Eight of the 11 employment supersectors showed job losses in May. But the job count was 44,300 higher than in May 2010. The number of unemployed residents, 471,000, was the lowest since February 2009.

Employment data shows economy is improving By DEREK KRAVITZ and CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP Economics Writers

WASHINGTON — Fewer Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week and builders broke ground on more homes in May. The latest data offered some hope that the economy may be improving after hitting a slump in late spring. Unemployment benefit applications fell to a seasonally adjusted 414,000, the Labor Department said. It was the second drop in three weeks and a positive sign that layoffs are slowing. Still, applications have been above 400,000 for 10 straight weeks, evidence that the job market is weak

compared to earlier this year. Home construction rose last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 560,000 units per year, the Commerce Department said. Economists say the pace of construction is far below the 1.2 million homes per year that must be built to sustain a healthy housing market. Many credit-strapped builders are struggling to compete with low-priced foreclosures. Economists said the steady decline in unemployment applications signals that the job market is improving, but at a very slow pace. “This is not a derailing of the economy,” said Bricklin Dwyer, an economist at BNP

Paribas. “This is a period of weak growth, and we’re going to see this for some time.” While the job market was improving earlier this year, home building is coming off the two worst years on records dating back five decades. And the May data suggest that won’t change anytime soon. The number of single-family homes started in May rose a modest 3.7 percent. But the construction pace of single-family homes, which accounts for about 80 percent of all residential construction, is well below the 2010 rate. Foreclosures and falling home prices have made re-sales more attrac-

tive. The median price of a new home is about 34 percent higher than the median price for a re-sale. That’s more than twice the markup in healthy housing markets. Factory output, which has been one of the strongest sectors of the economy since the recession ended two years ago, has also slowed this spring. And it may be getting worse in the Northeast. The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia said its regional index of manufacturing conditions dropped to -7.7 in June, down from 3.9 in May. It was the first negative reading since last September and the lowest reading for the index since July 2009.

LOS ANGELES — For the last year, top cable television industry executives have dismissed the idea that consumers are cutting the cord and opting to get their content online. It turns out they’re right. Consumers are cutting the cable TV cord, but not for the Internet. Instead they’re signing up with satellite operators and phone companies offering the same services. According to a new study released by Nielsen, the media research company that tracks television viewing trends, 91 percent of U.S. TV households had a subscription service in the first quarter of 2011. Of the total households, 53.8 percent had cable subscriptions, while 30.2 percent had satellite television and 6.7 percent used a service from a telephone company such as Verizon FiOS. The rest didn’t subscribe to any TV service. That total is about flat with the first quarter of 2010. However, both satellite and telecom video distribution services saw growth, while cable fell almost 2 percent. Although that 91percent figure is reassuring to multichannel video programming distributors, there are clouds on the horizon. The Nielsen study warns that younger Americans are spending an increasing amount of time watching content online. Children ages 12 to 17 spend a third of their time on the Internet watching video. The largest group watching content online are adults 35 to 49. Concern about competition and the economy starting to pose a threat to the cable industry is a theme at the National Cable & Telecommunications Association’s annual convention this week in Chicago. At a panel filled with top industry executives, there was acknowledgment that the gravy train of subscriber fees is not a sure thing.

consults for companies. And the systems and technology division organizes and stores data for companies. Revenue and profit rose last year for all four businesses. IBM is thriving because it invested more money into research and development during the recession while competitors spent less, says Robert Cihra, an analyst with Caris. Its revenue for the second and third quarters may be hurt by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan – 10 percent of IBM’s revenue comes from that country. But Cannacord Genuity analyst Eyal Ofir says the stock will do well over the next five or 10 years. He likes IBM because it raises its dividend every year. And it is involved in newer technologies like cloud computing and green technology.

Today will feel more humid than recent days, and with a zone of low pressure moving through conditions will be ripe for scattered showers. A thundershower is also possible, and the chance for rain may linger up until 9 p.m. After a wind shift early tomorrow morning, the atmosphere on Saturday will become more stable, and we should get through the day without rain. There should be enough sun to boost temperatures above 80, and it'll feel a bit humid. Another front will approach on Sunday with more clouds than sun and the chance for a shower. By the middle of next week, temperatures may once again be flirting with 90. - Tom Clark
