It won’t be until Saturday that flooding by the Susquehanna River will likely occur in several communities.

Kevin Warman, a former nurse at the prison, told a statewide grand jury that he supplied Hyder with Xanax, an anti-anxiety Hyder medication, from 2007 to 2009, according to an indictment issued Thursday.

The indictment said Warman testified he supplied Hyder 30 to 60 tablets per month. Hyder requested the medication, he said, because he See HYDER, Page 9A

Woman found guilty in stabbing Sharon Wallace, 28, faces a possible 12 years in prison for assault on then-boyfriend.

By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A Plains Township woman charged with stabbing and injuring her then boyfriend in June 2009 was found guilty Thursday of two related charges.

Sharon Wallace, 28, of Hancock Street, was found guilty of one count each of aggravated assault and simple assault by a Luzerne County jury of 10 women and two men. The jury deliberated for approximately three hours before delivering its verdict after a three-day trial.

Wallace, who was found not

guilty of two other charges of aggravated assault and simple assault, will be sentenced on May 3, Judge Tina Polachek Gartley said. Wallace faces a maximum of 10 years in prison on the aggravated assault charge and two years on the simple assault charge.

According to court records, police found Thomas J. Tranell bleeding on the front porch of 37 Jones St. on June 27. Tranell said Wallace stabbed him with a knife during an argument.

Wallace said she was defending herself, according to the complaint, and her testimony Wednesday, when Tranell punched her in the head and sat on her while she was on the kitchen floor. Wallace alleged Tranell tried to sexually assault her while choking her Police said Tranell suffered a

stab wound to his back that punctured a lung and a stab wound to his wrist.

Polachek Gartley said Thursday she was concerned with information she received that Tranell was telling people at the courthouse throughout the trial that he still loved Wallace and wanted a relationship with her.

Tranell told Polachek Gartley that he did not say that, and only said he cared about Wallace.

When Polachek Gartley asked Wallace if she wanted contact with Tranell, Wallace replied, “Absolutely not. Ever.”

In his closing argument Thursday morning, Wallace’s attorney, Charles Ross, said prosecutors lacked a motive for his client to walk into her home and stab Tranell, and his client had to defend

herself against a “force to be reckoned with.”

He said Tranell weighed significantly more than his client, and Tranell was a champion wrestler and high on cocaine the night of the stabbing.

Assistant District Attorney Nancy Violi said in her closing argument that in order for jurors to believe Wallace’s testimony Wednesday, they’d have to believe investigators and Tranell were lying.

Violi also said Wallace did not act in self defense because she allegedly stabbed Tranell in the back when he was turned away from her. “(Wallace’s) testimony was like a runaway train,” Violi said.

“Once she started (making things up) she couldn’t stop.”

By WILLIAM BELL Times Leader Correspondent

LUZERNE – Borough Council approved a motion Wednesday night to outsource the work of the borough secretary, effective immediately.

The vote was 4-2, with Michael Jancuska and Jason Tarreto opposed. Council member Kurt Santayana was absent from the meeting. Council then authorized the use of a temporary agency, Action, to provide temporary secretarial help at $15 an hour for a maximum of 20 hours a week.

When asked by the public how much notice was being given to the secretary, it was stated she would be told by phone call or when she arrived for work.

At the request of the Graham Academy, council approved a resolution authorizing the school’s staff to use a temporary speed bump in front of their school when students are being dropped off and picked up. The school had expressed safety concerns, and it had offered to provide and use the temporary speed bump.

Council also passed a personnel motion covering the monthly hiring of police officers with an hourly pay structure ranging from $16 for the chief to $12.50 for officers.

The meeting got off to a rocky start. Approximately a dozen residents waited outside the borough building in the cold until the doors were opened at 7:03

Wilkes-Barre Area board again fails to replace member

By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – While public discussion of minority teachers dominated Wilkes-Barre Area School Board’s regular meeting Wednesday, the board did take a slew of official actions, including a second failed attempt to replace member Teresa McGuire, who submitted her resignation in December, and inviting the public to a budget committee meeting slated for March 31.

McGuire is moving out of the area. The board accepted her resignation in January and attempted in February to elect someone to finish her term,

which expires this December.

But that vote split 4-4 for two nominees, former GAR High School Principal Dino Gallela and former board member James Susek.

Both have filed to run for the school board in this spring’s primary election.

Board Member Lynn Evans again nominated Susek on Wednesday, prompting Phil Latinski to nominate Gallela.

With James Fisher and Gary Polakoski absent, the vote was 4-2 in favor of Susek, but Assistant Solicitor Ray Wendolowski said a majority of the sitting board – five members – was

needed to make the appointment, so the seat remained vacant.

A Luzerne County Court judge can appoint a replacement, but a district resident must file a petition seeking such action.

Board Member Christine Katsock invited the public to the budget meeting, set for 1:30 p.m. at the administration building, 730 S. Main St. in Wilkes-Barre.

The board also approved a change order adding $4,020 to the contract for roof repairs at Meyers High School, and awarded the following contracts: removal of tree near Memorial Stadium to Busy Beaver Tree Ser-

vice for $1,035; repair of a wall near the stadium to Panzitta Enterprises Inc. for $9,500; architectural work for a water line replacement at Meyers to A&E Group Inc. for $5,500; partial roof replacement at Kistler Elementary to Dunmore Roofing & Supply Co. Inc. for $121,000.

The board also approved a contract with Invo Health Care Associates Inc. for therapists for special education.

It also approved the purchase of spring water service from Tulpehocken at $2.65 per bottle and the purchase of a wrestling mat from Resilite Sports Products for $8,907.

Nanticoke police seek help in identifying driver in hit-and-run NANTICOKE – City police are seeking the public’s help in identifying the driver of a car that struck an elderly man at Market and Broad streets on Tuesday.

Robert Wilson, 84, was struck around 4:10 p.m. as he attempt-

ed to cross the road, said Sgt. Michael Roke.

Roke said Wilson was in the crosswalk when a car struck him and knocked him to the ground.

The driver got out of the car, then got back in the vehicle and left the scene.

Wilson suffered cuts and abrasions. He was treated at an area hospital and released.

Roke said Wilson said the driver was a man, about 25 years old, but Wilson was not able to provide a description of the vehicle.

Roke said he spoke to several people who were in the area when Wilson was hit, but none of them saw the vehicle strike Wilson.

Anyone with information regarding the case is asked to call Nanticoke police at 735-2200.

Candidate served time in prison A challenge could remove County Council hopeful Joseph Gorko Jr. from ballot. He says he is innocent.

By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Republican Luzerne County Council candidate Joseph Gorko Jr. has served time in prison for sending numerous threatening letters to then-county District Attorney Peter Paul Olszewski Jr., raising questions about Gorko’s ability to serve in public office.

Gorko was convicted in federal court in April 2002 of sending threatening letters.

The state Constitution says citizens may be barred from serving in public office if they have committed a felony.

Gorko, 50, a veterinary medicine consultant from Wilkes-Barre, is among 16 Republicans who filed paperwork to be listed as candidates on the May 17 primary election ballot.

County Election Bureau Director Leonard Piazza said another Republican candidate would have to file a legal challenge seeking Gorko’s removal from the ballot because “I’m not Democratic contenstupid and ders would not have standing.

“I’m not stupid and figured this would happen. I hope someone does file a challenge. If we go to court, I’m going to widen the federal corruption probe. We’ll see more people go to jail,” said Gorko, who served in jail for seven years.

Prosecutors said Gorko sent 14 letters to Olszewski during a several-year period in which he threatened Olszewski’s family if Olszewski failed to comply with numerous demands, which included dropping off money. In the letters, Gorko alsothreatenedtosmearOlszewski’sreputation if he did not resign as district attorney.

Gorko, who was sentenced in February 2003 to 97 months in prison, had unsuccessfully filed numerous motions seeking to overturn the verdict.

Black men convicted of crimes allege panels didn’t consist of fair cross-section of community

Suit: Jury pools violated rights

By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – Four black men who were convicted of crimes in Luzerne County have filed a federal lawsuit alleging their constitutional rights were violated because people of their race and other minorities were excluded from the jury pool that heard their cases.

Convicted murderers Henry Stubbs and Larry Tooley joined with Kevin

mer judge.

The suit alleges the officials conspired with each other to exclude blacks and Hispanics from the jury pool, denying them their constitutional rights to have a jury that consists of a fair cross-section of the community.

Stubbs and Tooley were each convicted in 2003 of first degree murder -Stubbs for the deaths of Elena Herring and her 6-year-old daughter, Viktoria Ivanova of Wilkes-Barre; and Tooley

HAZLETON – City Council on Wednesday approved banning the sale or possession of synthetic cocaine that is currently legal to sell in the form of bath salts, plant fertilizer and a few other seemingly innocuous items.

Police Chief Robert Ferdinand said he also supports the ordinance proposed by Mayor Joe Yannuzzi that would ban the possession and sale of synthetic cocaine in the city.

Council unanimously approved it on the first of three required readings.

Ed Pane, director of Serento Gardens Drug and Alcohol services in Hazleton, supported the ordinance, comparing it to one adopted by a previous council that banned the sale of drug paraphernalia in the Ferdinand city.

Previously, “head shops” could sell pipes and bongs intended for marijuana use, council President Jim Perry said.

The ordinance banning the synthetic drug lists the chemical ingredients that could be contained in things marketed as bath salts, plant fertilizer, incense, potpourri and insect repellants.

Violation of the ordinance carries a fine of up to $500 and/or incarceration for up to 30 days, with each day of the violation constituting a separate offense.

Also, council voted unanimously to authorize the police department to enter into an agreement with nCourt – a Georgiabased technology company – to provide online services for payment of traffic/ parking tickets.

The company provides such services for departments nationwide, including some in Schuylkill, Lehigh and Berks counties, said Perry.

“It’s an easier way for people to pay their tickets, especially out-of-town people,” Perry said.

The service would cost the city nothing; the company would charge users a nominal fee of $1 or $2 for the over-thephoneoronlinepaymentservice,hesaid.

Ferdinand said people can save time, fuel expenses, and the hassle of finding a parking space near City Hall just to pay a parking ticket.

Fairview Twp. won’t flush owner’s toilet display

By JIM MORRISSEY Times Leader Correspondent

MATT HUGHES/THE TIMES LEADER

A red toilet sits on the lawn of Kevin Engler’s home in Fairview Township.

FAIRVIEW TWP. – The township zoning board on Wednesday night allowed Kevin Engler to keep a red toilet on his lawn.

Chairman Frank Usavage did not vote on the matter, but board members Shirley Garren, Bill Ermish and April Jacobson decided the toilet could stay.

Board member Dr. John Dougherty, who filed the complaint against his neighbor, did not vote.

Solicitor Robert Gonos said there were no landscaping provisions to support removing the toilet.

The toilet is located on the front lawn of Engler’s property. The complaint states that the toilet was a hazard and a

nuisance.

Attorney Glenn Yanik represented Dougherty, while attorney Kevin Walsh represented Engler.

Dougherty’s wife, Sterling, took the stand and said that Engler once had two toilets on his lawn. She was concerned about the aesthetic appeal and what it clearly represents. Also, she was disappointed by the way the Englers maintain their property.

When Engler took the stand he said that he was going to put plants and vines in it when the weather breaks.

Absentee landlords a problem, W-B told A property management professional urges City Council to tighten the rules.

By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Dan Lavery offered City Council a plan Thursday to crack down on absentee “non-conforming” landlords.

Lavery lives on Park Avenue and works for McDermott & McDermott, a property management company. He said he repre-

sents more than 100 rental units owned by out-of-town landlords who all purchase the necessary licenses and perform the required inspections.

There are far too many absentee landlords that don’t follow the rules, he said, and he would like to see a long-term solution.

He said he speaks to 10-20 prospective tenants daily who are looking to live locally.

“When I ask them where they would like to live, a solid 25 percent answer with ‘anywhere but Wilkes-Barre,’ ” Lavery said.

“Don’t misinterpret my motive;

it’s not because it limits my ability to generate income. It’s because I grew up here, and today I can’t say I disagree with their concerns.”

Lavery said the city needs to set stiff fines and make them escalating if possible. He said all property managers and their properties need to be recorded at City Hall before any licenses or inspections are issued.

He also said job descriptions for code officers should be reviewed and their areas of responsibility should be more defined.

Once the revisions are made, the

city should notify district magisterial judges and law enforcement of the changes, he said.

In other business, City Council approved an ordinance on first reading that would place names on four streets that will be a part of the new Murray Courtright housing project. The names that must pass through a public review before being adopted are: Atkins Lane, McGowan Street, Morris Lane and Silk Mill Lane.

Tow truck operator Bob Kadluboski again addressed council about his concerns about fees being charged by the city’s current

Police: Man traded a gun for heroin

Report alleges Joseph Patrick Lilly got illegal drug by trading a stolen handgun.

By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

KINGSTON – Police arrested a man they allege traded a stolen gun for heroin.

Joseph Patrick Lilly, 30, of Church Street, Edwardsville, was arraigned Monday by District Judge Paul Roberts in Kingston on charges of firearms not to be carried without a license, illegal transfer of a firearm to another person, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, receiving stolen property and criminal use of communication facility. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $25,000 bail.

Police alleged Lilly got heroin after trading a stolen .45caliber handgun on Friday.

In an unrelated case, Lilly was sentenced in April last year to 90 days to 15 months in jail on charges of driving under the influence of a controlled substance.

Larksville police said in arrest records that Lilly nearly struck several vehicles on the

the blacks were excluded based on challenges issued by prosecutors.

Stubbs and Tooley claim the pool was not representative of the racial mix of Wilkes-Barre city, which they say had 2,193 blacks and 683 Hispanics as of the 2000 census, according to the suit.

King was sentenced in 2007 to 9 to 20 ½ years in prison for shooting Tracy Pecora of Wilkes-Barre, who survived; while Woodson was sentenced in 2008 to 17 ½ to 35 years in

Carey Avenue Bridge on Feb. 27, 2009, while driving under the influence of alprazolam, morphine and oxycoden.

Lilly is also serving a probation sentence on charges of harassment and disorderly conduct for an incident involving two women at a supermarket in Edwardsville in September 2008, according to court records.

According to the latest criminal complaint: Police learned that Lilly was attempting to sell guns to other people in exchange for heroin on Friday. Surveillance was set up near Lilly’s residence on Church Street.

Police spotted Lilly leaving his residence and getting picked up by another person.

Lilly was driven to a residence on Poplar Street, Larksville, which he briefly entered before returning to the vehicle.

Police said they recovered a .45-caliber handgun in a holster that Lilly wrapped in a Tshirt. Police said in the complaint they also recovered four heroin packets and $378 on Lilly.

The gun was reported stolen during a burglary, police said.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled on March 16 before Roberts. prison for his role in a drug trafficking ring.

The suit says King’s jury pool consisted of 75 Caucasians and Woodson’s consisted of 40 Caucasians. There were no blacks or Hispanics in either pool.

During their trials, the total population of blacks in Luzerne County was 7,737, the suit says, citing a fact sheet from the 2006-2008 Census Bureau.

“The defendants opted to select juries composed entirely of their own race, Caucasian, and advanced forward to subject the plaintiffs to involuntary servitude by obtaining verdicts of guilt from the juries that were not selected by a process that assures impartiality,” the suit

contracted towing company, LAG Towing. Kadluboski asked council to review the charges because he said he feels people are being overcharged.

Kadluboski exhausted the fiveminute time limit and asked for more time. His request was denied and when he tried to continue talking, Council Chairwoman Kathy Kane asked for a motion and second to adjourn the meeting and council voted to end it.

Council approved the sale of two building lots to Ben Walker, 51, a retired state trooper. The

lots are at the corner of Hickory Street and Columbus Avenue in the city’s Iron Triangle section.

Walker paid $8,000 for the lots in 1990, but the company he bought them from – Blue Ridge Construction – went bankrupt, and he lost his investment.

The building lots, located behind the Turkey Hill store near Hazle Avenue, were eventually sold to the city by the bankrupt developer for $300 per lot. Walker asked to purchase the lots at the same price and council approved the request.

on each screen. The candidates’ municipality of residence will also be listed by their names.

“We’ll do whatever we can to make it easier for voters. We’ll listen to candidates’ input, but at the end of the day, the hardware and software have technical limitations,” Piazza said.

Voters won’t miss the names of second-page candidates because they must hit the “next” button to advance through the ballot and cast their votes, Piazza said.

If voters have already picked 11 candidates and decide they

want to choose someone on the second screen, the machine will alert them they they’ve already picked the allowable number.

Voters must then hit the “back” button and touch the names they want to deselect before returning to the second page.

The November ballot will likely spill onto a second page in the county council race because it will contain the names of 11 Democrats, 11 Republicans and Independent and third-party contenders who secure nearly 1,000 petitions after the primary.

Two third-party candidates have already announced they will be running in November – Tim Mullen, a Libertarian, and Charles “Bible Buck” Hatchko, of the American Independent Party.

says.

The suit says Stubbs, Tooley, King and Woodson, did not come to the realization that minorities had been excluded from their jury pools until they all met while serving time at a prison in Michigan, which has taken Pennsylvania inmates because of overcrowding, and began discussing the selection process in their cases.

Chief Public Defender Al Flora, who represented Stubbs at his trial and is named as one of the defendants in the suit, said the allegations are “absolutely ridiculous.”

“That makes no sense. We are representing the defendant. Obviously, if anything, we would try if at all possible to have people on the jury of various races,” Flora said.

Three Democrats have filed to run for Plymouth Borough Council.

Bill Dixon, 60, is seeking the Democratic nomination for a four-year term. He has been a resident of Plymouth for 31 years and is married to the former Janet Flynn, a lifelong borough resident. They have two children and a grand-daughter.

Steve Gerko, 69, has worked for Leslie Fay as a trim coordinator for 25 years. He did inventory control in foreign countries, purchasing, and District Attorney Jacqueline Musto Carroll, who is also named as a defendant, said the suit “appears to be without merit.”

“We’re still going to have to turn it over to our lawyers,” she said.

The lawsuit also names

shipping of supplies. He maintained weekly reports, oversaw and loaded containers for overseas shipment and did traffic control for domestic shipments.

Gerko graduated from Plymouth High School in 1959 and attended Wilkes College and Luzerne County Community College. In addition, Gerko was in the Army Reserves for six years as a military policeman and was honorably discharged.

Counteroffensive in Libya reverses opposition’s advance

Rebels retreat from oil port

Lohan rejects plea deal in theft case

Lindsay Lohan leaves Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday followed by her mother, Dina, far left, and sister, Ali, second from left. Lohan rejected a plea agreement Thursday offered by prosecutors in a grand theft case that included a guaranteed return to jail. She told a judge she agreed to delaying her case until a preliminary hearing when prosecutors will present evidence against her. Lohan is accused of taking a $2,500 necklace from a Venice jewelry store.

“I have two words to our brothers and sisters in the east: We’re coming.”

RAS LANOUF, Libya — With fierce barrages of tank and artillery fire, Moammar Gadhafi’s loyalists threw rebels into a frantic retreat from a strategic oil port Thursday in a counteroffensive that reversed the opposition’s advance toward the capital of Tripoli and now threatens its positions in the east.

Hundreds of rebels in cars and trucks mounted with machine guns sped eastward on the Mediterranean coastal road in a seemingly disorganized flight from Ras Lanouf as an overwhelming force of rockets and shells pounded a hospital, mosque and other buildings in the oil complex. Doctors and staff at the hospital were hastily evacuated along with wounded from fighting from the past week.

The rout came even as the opposition

made diplomatic gains.

France became the first country to recognize the rebels’ eastern-based governing council, and an ally of President Nicolas Sarkozy said his government was planning “targeted operSeif al-Islam ations” to defend civilians if Gadhafi’s son the international community approves. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said she would meet with opposition leaders in the U.S., Egypt and Tunisia.

In Tripoli, Gadhafi’s son Seif al-Islam vowed to retake the eastern half of the country, which has been in opposition hands since early in the 3-week-old uprising.

“I have two words to our brothers and sisters in the east: ‘We’re coming,’ ” he told a cheering crowd of young supporters. He depicted Libyans in the east as being held “hostage” by terrorists.

Inquiry in Washington examined risk of ‘homegrown’ Islamic terrorism.

Pirate Bile Hussein told The Associated Press that armed forces from Somalia’s semiautonomous northern region of Puntland tried to surround the village of Hul Anod and free the family but were beaten back before they were in position. He said some government forces were killed and others were captured but did not give exact figures.

“We foiled their attempt to recover the Danish family,” he said. “We have killed and captured some of their soldiers … The hostages are safe and still in our hands.”

SANAA, YEMEN

Constitution offer rejected

Yemen’s embattled president on Thursday proposed a new constitution guaranteeing the independence of the parliament and judiciary, but thousands of unsatisfied protesters poured into the streets to demand his ouster.

Opposition leaders promptly rejected President Ali Abdullah Saleh’s offer and called for mass demonstrations Friday, marking a month since the protests began.

The demonstrators have set up protest camps in the capital and the cities of Aden and Taiz, saying they won’t leave until U.S.-backed Saleh resigns.

Saleh, an ally in the Obama’s administration’s fight against al-Qaida, has been making a series of concessions to try to head off the protests, seen as one of the most serious threats to an Arab government since popular revolutions toppled regimes in Tunisia and Egypt.

NEW YORK

Legislators face charges

An influential New York state senator, an assemblyman and a wellknown lobbyist were among eight people charged Thursday in what federal prosecutors called “a broad-based bribery racket” that lined the senator’s pockets with more than $1 million.

A criminal complaint charges Sen. Carl Kruger and Assemblyman William Boyland Jr., both Brooklyn Democrats, and Manhattan-based lobbyist Richard Lipsky with two counts of conspiracy and one count of money laundering — the latest in a string of corruption cases to rock Albany.

Lipsky was accused of directing about $252,000 in lobbying fees into a bank account used by Kruger between 2007 and 2010 in exchange for the senator giving legislative support to Lipsky & Associates’ clients.

QATIF, SAUDI ARABIA

Shiite protesters dispersed

Saudi police opened fire Thursday to disperse a protest in the mainly Shiite east, leaving at least one man injured, as the government struggled to prevent a wave of unrest sweeping the Arab world from reaching the kingdom.

The rare violence raised concern about a crackdown ahead of more planned protests after Friday prayers in different cities throughout the oil-rich kingdom. The pro-Western monarchy is concerned protests could open footholds for Shiite powerhouse Iran.

WASHINGTON — Rep. Peter King and his fellow Republicans in the House declared their much-criticized hearing into Muslim “radicalization” in America a success, even as detractors slammed it as an “outrage” and “reality TV.” “Our hearings today were informative and educational, and hopefully will have consequences in the Muslim American community,” King, chairman of the “The hysHomeland Security Commit- teria and tee, told report- madness ers after the more than four- leading up hour hearing on to this did Capitol Hill on nobody Thursday.

“The hysteria much and madness good.” leading up to this did nobody U.S. Rep. Peter King much good,” he R-New York said.

“The purpose of today’s hearing was to inform, not to inflame,” added Rep. Dan Lungren, R-Calif.

King, a New York congressman, spent much of the day offering a strident defense of the hearing, which examined the risk of “homegrown” Islamic terrorism, while Democrats and civil rights groups decried it as a divisive spectacle that they argued would sow mistrust in Muslim communities nationwide.

At the close of the hearing, King pledged more inquiries would soon follow, including one that would focus on radical Islam in America’s prisons.

The committee heard testimony from several members of Congress, including Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., a Muslim who perhaps provided the day’s most memorable moment when he broke down and tearfully described the actions of a Muslim paramedic from New York who died while responding to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

“Mohammad Salman Hamdani was a fellow American, who gave his life for other Americans,” Ellison said. Democrats made clear they disapproved of the proceedings.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, DTexas, shouting over King’s pounding gavel, labeled the proceedings “an outrage.” Rep. Yvette Clarke, D-N.Y., dismissed the hearings as “great congressional theater” and “the equivalent of reality TV.”

proved a tentative budget for 2011-12. The $63.3 million spending plan must now be reworked to accommodate for the loss of state funding, the board said.

“We have no choice but to take (the loss) out of the budget,” Williams said after the meeting.

The board has until June 30 to adopt a final budget.

During the meeting, Donald Karwoski of Plymouth asked the board if it is considering holding off on the $28 million State Street Elementary project in light of the loss of subsidies. The project calls for doubling the size of State Street Elementary in Plymouth and closing Main

Street Elementary in Plymouth and Pringle Street Elementary in Kingston, both built in the1920s.

State Street was constructed in 1978.

“Absolutely not,” said Williams, pointing out the project will enhance the educational opportunities of the students.

“When it comes to educating our students, that’s what’s important,” he said.

But Karwoski pressured the board to scrap the project. “I’m just concerned that taxes keep going up and up, and you just keep going ahead and spending money,” he said.

Mazur added the two older schools are not only dilapidated but also dangerous.

He invited anyone interested, to call him to arrange a tour of the Main Street building.

KINGSTON -- The governor’s call on Tuesday to slash $1 billion in state spending for public schools will have a devastating impact on the district, the Wyoming Valley West School Board said Wednesday.

The proposed 2011-12 fiscal year state budget of $27.3 billion eliminates a little more than $2 million in state subsidies and grants to the district.

Board Member Barry Williams gave a breakdown of the funding sources that had been used to pay for expenses such as

classes while still in high school.

It also eliminates the educational assistance program, which funds the after-school tutoring program.

“It will limit their educational opportunities, hurt PSSA scores and hurt the child,” Williams said.

“I think it’s a shame what they’ve done,” he said. “The state’s disinterest in public education is really tragic.”

Board President Joseph Mazur urged taxpayers to call state officials to protest. “This is a blatant attack on middle-class people,” he said. “Working parents depend on all-day kindergarten.”

The state Supreme Court has declined to hear double homicide suspect Hugo Selenski’s appeal of a ruling regarding the admissibility of testimony, possibly clearing the way for his long-delayed trial for the deaths of Michael Kerkowski and Tammy Fassett.

The court on Thursday denied Selenski’s appeal of Luzerne County Judge Chester Muroski’s ruling relating to the admissibility of statements that were made by the now deceased father of Michael Kerkowski.

Selenski is charged with killing Kerkowski and Fassett in 2002.

Their bodies were unearthed at the home he shared with this girlfriend on Mount Olivet Road in Kingston Township in June 2003.

Muroski previously ruled a transcript of testimony given by Kerkowski’s father, who was also named Michael, could be admitted into evidence at the trial. The elder Kerkowski had testified at Selenski’s preliminary hearing and was scheduled to testify at the trial, but he died in September 2006.

The court’s ruling appears to clear the way for the trial to start.

Under state law, Selenski’s attorneys could ask the court to reconsider its decision. They would have to do that within 14 days.

They could also seek to appeal the court’s ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court, which would further delay the trial.

It could not be determined if they will take either action. Attorneys in the case are under a gag order that prohibits them from commenting on any aspect of the case.

are: Kevin Domonick Warman, 50, of Hillside Avenue, Edwardsville; John Matthew Carey, 37, of Rutter Avenue, Kingston; Jason D. Fierman, 35, Midland Drive, Dallas; and Christopher J. Walsh, 28, of New Street, Pittston.

Fierman and Walsh are currently employed as guards at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility and were arrested at the prison on Water Street in WilkesBarre. Warman formerly worked as a nurse at the prison, and Carey is a former guard captain.

Prison Warden Joseph Piazza said he was aware of the investigation “from the beginning,” though he was not privy to all the details.

He said the prison “had some anonymous tips of people bringing some stuff in, that’s why we turned it over to the authorities.”

Affidavits state the initial allegations were brought to the Attorney General’s Office during a major wiretap investigation involving cocaine trafficking in Luzerne County resulting in the arrests of 22.

County Commissioner Stephen A. Urban said the commissioners have also known about

the investigation for several months.

“We applaud the efforts of the Attorney General’s Office in continuing to clean up the corruption and crime within county government,” Urban said.

Piazza said Fierman and Walsh would be suspended without pay until a court hearing is held. Urban said the Luzerne County Prison Board would discuss the issue further at its meeting Monday.

The four defendants were arraigned Friday before District Judge Martin Kane, WilkesBarre. Kane, noting their “noncooperation with the Attorney General’s Office,” set bail at $5,000 straight bail for Fierman and Walsh. Carey and Warman were released on unsecured bail.

Officers from the Attorney General’s Office said Fierman and Walsh would be placed in Lackawanna County Prison in lieu of bail, for their safety. A preliminary hearing has been set for March 17 at 10 a.m.

The affidavit states Warman, a nurse who formerly supervised the infirmary at the prison, used fictitious names or the names of former inmates to purchase prescription medication on behalf of the prison. Warman was terminated from the prison in 2009.

Warman testified before a grand jury that he would distribute the medication to prison employees, including former Depu-

HYDER was having trouble dealing with the stress associated with his job, specifically pressures that came about relating to the Luzerne County debit card scandal.

“Warman testified that Sam Hyder was consuming so many tablets so frequently that he feared that Hyder was becoming drug dependent on the medication,” the indictment says.

Hyder could not be reached for comment Thursday. His attorney, Peter Mos-

cut in grants given to students through the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance program, a needs-based grant that would have the maximum annual award drop from $3,541 to $3,056. And Corbett wants to zero out a little-known program that gives $3,000 annually for three years to high-achieving state residents majoring in key science and technology fields.

Corbett also completely cut funding for a dual enrollment program that let hundreds of local high school students take college classes.

Here’s a quick rundown of the cuts at local colleges.

• The Commonwealth Medical College – A cut of $4 million in direct aid.

• Luzerne County Community College – A cut of about $1.2 million in direct aid, almost 3 percent of the budget; PHEAA cuts that, based on this year’s numbers, would impact 1,437 students – 14 percent of total enrollment; loss of dual enrollment money that helped 417 area high school students attend 603 college classes this year.

• King’s College – A cut in the amount students receive through PHEAA that, based on this year’s numbers, would affect $2.2 million paid to 813 students, 574 of whom receive the maximum amount; a per-pupil reduction of IAG money – paid per student receiving PHEAA grants – from $720 to about $333, roughly totaling more than $300,000; a loss of NETS grants helping 25 students, and loss of dual enrollment money that helped about 100 high school students per semester.

• Misericordia University – Roughly a $230,000 loss in IAG money that totaled $575,484 this year; cuts in PHEAA grants that, this year, gave more than $2 million to 734 students; elimination of NETS money that helped eight students this year, and elimination of dual enrollment money that served 14 students during each semester this year.

• Wilkes University – Loss of about half of $55,378 in IAG money; cuts in PHEAA grants that serve 824 students this year, a bit more than one-third the undergraduate enrollment;

Prison guard Jason Fierman, who was arrested Thursday on drug charges, has been suspended without pay.

ty Warden Sam Hyder. Warman said he would provide Hyder with 30 to 60 tablets of the anxiety medication Xanax and that Hyder said he needed the drug to deal with the stress associated with his position; specifically, with the Luzerne County debit card scandal.

Hyder was furloughed from the prison in January 2010, then unsuccessfully filed a worker’s compensation claim, claiming county Commissioner Chairwoman Maryanne Petrilla had threatened to get rid of him and pushed for the hiring or promo-

tion of people he did not believe were qualified.

Warman said there was no system of checks and balances in place at the infirmary to track the number of prescriptions sent out to different pharmacies and the names on each prescription, allowing him to order prescriptions using fake names or the names of former inmates without fear of anyone auditing his invoices.

The Attorney General’s Office also alleges that Carey, a former captain at the prison, received deliveries of cocaine from other

“We’re very hopeful,” D’Alessandri said. “We think this is a new governor who has not had the exposure to TCMC and to the importance of TCMC to the

out there I would know about them,” Moses said.

The allegations against Hyder are contained in a nine-page indictment issued by a statewide grand jury that was hearing evidence of drug smuggling within the county prison.

The grand jury investigation resulted in charges being filed by the state Office of Attorney General against Warman and three other current or former guards at the prison. No charges have been filed against Hyder.

Warman told the grand jury that he obtained the medication for Hyder by using the name of a former inmate to fill

region’s health care and economy.”

The school is small but growing rapidly as planned, from 170 students this year to almost 300 next year, D’Alessandri said, and it is producing doctors for the region and the state at a time when the need is about to mushroom as baby boomers hit retirement age. He promised that any tuition increase will be modest even if the proposed cuts happen. “We are not going to take this out on students.”

LCCC President Tom Leary said college officials are “going

the prescriptions. He said he was able to do so because there was no checks and balances system within the prison to track the number of prescriptions sent out to different pharmacies.

Hyder served as deputy warden from 2004 to January 2010, when the county’s prison board voted to furlough him from the $74,263-a-year position. His tenure was rocked by controversy from the start.

His selection to the post was questioned because he was a good friend of former Commissioner Greg Skrepenak, who sat on the prison board at the time.

Hyder again came under scrutiny in

to have to sit down and discuss everything about the impact of this, and how we allocate our resources,” but added that tuition was not raised this year and doing so again in the face of any cuts “is a last resort.”

Misericordia President Michael MacDowell said the school “is working very hard to increase our scholarship money available,” and if the PHEAA cuts occur, those efforts will have to be increased. “We’ve made a strategic decision to keep our tuition lower than any four-year, private institution in the area,” he said.

prison employees and former inmates. He also purchased cocaine from or provided cocaine to several individuals linked to a large-scale cocaine trafficking ring involving members of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club who were arrested in a 2009 drug sting, the Attorney General’s Office said in a press release.

John Gonda, a former correctional officer arrested in the same sting, Operation Avalanche, testified before a grand jury that he delivered cocaine to Carey, his supervisor at the time, on approximately nine occasions. Gonda also said that Walsh provided him with cocaine on two occasions.

Two inmates, Todd Junevitz and James Dormio, also testified Fierman provided the controlled substance Suboxone to Dormio on several occasions. Dormio also said he purchased heroin in Fierman’s presence.

According to affidavits filed Thursday: Warman is charged with one count of delivery of a controlled substance and one count of acquisition or obtaining a controlled substance by misrepresentation, fraud, forgery, deception or subterfuge.

Carey is charged with one count each of delivery of cocaine and possession of cocaine.

Fierman is charged with one count each of delivery of a controlled substance, possession of

2007, when it was revealed he had used a county debit card to pay for drinks at a Las Vegas strip club. The controversy continued in 2008, when it was revealed prison officials had improperly broken down food contracts at the prison to avoid competitive bidding requirements.

After he was furloughed, Hyder sought to collect workers’ compensation, claiming he blacked out in August 2009 due to stressors related to the job.

A judge who heard his case denied his request in September, saying he did not believe the stressors were abnormal for the position.

Loss of the IAG money, introduced as a way to help level the playing field between private and state institutions, would be another matter. “There is no way we could recoup that,” MacDowell said. Alumni and community members donate toward needs-based scholarships, “but you can’t ask these people to give to the general fund.”

On April 13, Ciampi told Attorney General representatives that Walsh brought cocaine to his house on Christmas Eve of 2008, that he subsequently bought cocaine from Walsh on three or four occasions and that Walsh approached him in 2009 and told him there was a lot of money to be made selling cocaine to other prison guards.

Piazza said Ciampi is still employed by the prison but could not say whether he would be disciplined because he had not read the affidavit against him.

Piazza said he thinks “good and bad” will come from the charges.

“The good thing is, we’re getting rid of people who might be dirty and doing bad things,” he said.

“The bad thing is, everybody gets painted with the same brush. There’s good people that work here and come here to work every day and work hard, and now they look bad because of this.”

tering the program won’t go down, but the college will have to cover those costs with money that possibly could have gone toward financial aid.

But it was the little-known NETS program that Cerza saw as a small but significant loss.

Eligible science and technology majors get the $3,000 a year from sophomore through senior year if they maintain a 3.0 grade-point average, and many of them likely planned to have the money next year.

If Corbett’s cuts are enacted, it would be “like breaking a promise,” she said.

Editorial

OUR OPINION: 2010 CENSUS

Numbers provide test for Pa., area

N

ulation fell 3.8 percent, according to census data released Wednesday. Lawmakers and land-use planners need to embrace solutions to this sprawl and restore urban centers. Otherwise, more of us simply waste more time and gasoline while getting to and from rural homes lacking city “conveniences” and services. Then we covet those things until they arrive in the neighborhood, spoiling its country charm. Go figure.

• This region’s inability in recent years to come to grips with issues such as public corruption and the proper oversight of the natural gas industry makes for less-than-appealing slogans with which to draw newcomers. “Pennsylvania: Land of1,000 crooks” or “Fish our (mostly pure) trout streams” won’t exactly get the welcome wagons rolling.

Between now and 2020, state lawmakers bear much of the responsibility for prepping Pennsylvania so that the world beats a path to its doorstep.

Meanwhile, Northeastern Pennsylvania residents can work to improve upon the way we treat the environment and the way we treat each other.

Isn’t that the crux of what makes people want to call a place home?

EW CENSUS figures show that Luzerne and Lackawanna counties grew – if only by a smidgen – in the past 10 years, which is a welcome reversal from the all-out exodus of the Rust Belt days.

Even so, the numbers don’t suggest a rapid renaissance any time soon for the commonwealth or for our corner of it.

Among the troubling trends: • The state eked out a population gain during the last decade of 3.4 percent, bringing the number of residents to about 12.7 million. But Pennsylvania’s under-18 population declined during that span, according to the 2010 Census. More must be done to curb the younger generations’ impulses to “go West,” “go South” and “go anywhere, just go.”

• Compelled by demographic changes, Congress will shave another seat from the Keystone State’s delegation. The state, which once upon a time claimed 30 U.S. House seats, will now fill a mere 18. That giant sucking sound you hear is Pennsylvania’s power deflating.

• People apparently continue to abandon cities such as Wilkes-Barre and settle in townships. Wilkes-Barre’s pop-

QUOTE OF THE DAY “In 30 minutes, 18 state senators undid 50 years of civil rights in Wisconsin.”

Mark Miller Wisconsin’s Senate minority leader, a Democrat, decried a surprise vote taken by Senate Republicans Wednesday night that would strip most collective bargaining rights from public workers. The vote spurred protests Thursday in Madison.

OTHER OPINION: PUBLIC TRUST

Transparency vital on shale gas

T

OM RIDGE, THE front man for Pennsylvania’s Marcellus Shale gas drilling industry, struck the right note last week at a public roundtable in Canonsburg.

Three days after an accident and fire injured three workers at a gas compressor station in Washington County, the former governor said the industry must be more forthcoming in providing the public with information. His audience included state legislators, township supervisors and congressional aides. Ridge said that even “if there are missteps, (the industry should) acknowledge it, correct it.”

Pennsylvanians, many of whom have mixed emotions if not outright fear of this energy and environmental phenomenon, are all in favor of that.

Which is why it was disturbing to read a recent report in the New York Times that the drilling industry had worked quietly behind the scenes in the Reagan administration for looser controls.

The newspaper quoted scientists and lawyers at today’s Environmental Protection Agency who worry that history could be repeating itself, as the agency conducts a broad study into deep gas drilling and its risks.

Internal documents indicate that the scope of the study “was narrowed after pressure by the industry and allies in Congress, as well as budget and time constraints,” the Times reported.

Still, after seven Pennsylvania rivers were found to have no radiation problems related to Marcellus Shale drilling, the EPA has said it will take a more active role in reviewing permits and environmental impacts in the state.

That brings us back to the message of Tom Ridge.

If the industry truly wants to build trust, it must be open with the public. To us that means not only when there are mishaps, but also when EPA scientists want to study the potential hazards and prescribe the necessary degree of oversight.

n John Moga’s letter to the editor (March 8), he felt some candidates for Luzerne County Council offered no solid plans for dealing with the financial mess the county is in, which prevented him from signing their nominating petitions. As a candidate for council, I am happy to offer to Mr. Moga my plan to reform the ways we handle our finances and increase transparency.

First, require purchase orders for county expenses of more than $50. Our neighbors in Columbia County already have done this and the system is quite successful. It increases accountability by providing a better record of what we’re spending; and as these orders would require approval, would prevent misuse of taxpayer funds.

Second, empower the taxpayers by authorizing the county to create a website – that any citizen can access – that will document expenses of more than $25. We have a right to know this information, and it could prevent corrupt individuals from pocketing or misspending the people’s money, because if there’s anything shady going on, the math won’t add up.

Finally, freeze property tax rates at their 2010 levels and ensure a clear appeals process be in place one month prior to any future reassessment. We have to help the people who are being taxed out of their houses, and a freeze would allow the county to re-evaluate its methods of handling this issue. The new government has a moral call to make: raise taxes or kick people out of their homes. I will work as hard as I can to prevent the latter from coming to pass.

These plans are available on my campaign website: www.caseyevans.org.

State GOP leaders can construct tax equity

F

or many years, the message to Harrisburg from the taxpayers has been quite clear. Homeowners want relief from unfair property taxes, and businesses want the nation’s second-highest corporate income tax rate reduced.

The politicians received the message loud and clear, but so far they have chosen not to answer the call.

For example, Gov. Tom Corbett is proposing to cut funding for education for 2012. This will force local school districts to increase property taxes or make painful cuts in spending that affect educational opportunities for students, or do both.

So what could Gov. Corbett and the Republicans do in order to satisfy both homeowners and businesses? They could

call a constitutional convention for the purpose of legalizing a graduated income tax for local school districts and for local, county and state governments. What good would that do?

It would enable the tax burden for public schools and necessary government services to be shifted from those who already are overburdened by taxes to those who can easily afford to pay more. Will this happen?

The Republican Corbett administration has all the tools in its hands to accomplish tax reform that would move Pennsylvania forward into the 21st century. The ball is in the governor’s hand. Will he fumble it or complete the pass that will go down in history?

David L. Faust Selinsgrove

Proposed budget unfair to education and future

I

t scares me to death to think that Gov. Tom Corbett disregards education as a vital agent in Pennsylvania’s future.

Corbett’s proposed budget beheads education by chopping off 52 percent of public universities’ funding and making extreme cuts to public schools’ budgets. The regressive cuts stymie the intellectual and economic prosperity of the state; without education, jobs will leave the state at an incalculable rate.

His plan is a short-term solution with dire long-term ramifications.

Surely, there are more efficient ways to make up the budget deficits that don’t come at the expense of the state’s youth.

The reality of education is that it transcends. By dramatically cutting it, Corbett is putting a foot on progress.

If Corbett’s ambition is to ardently make Pennsylvania “the Texas of the natural gas boom,” then the state should tax this industry. Managing a budget also means producing revenue to operate the government. The Lone Star State understood this and taxed its oilers.

The governor’s Texas-sized pipe dream would give drillers an unwarranted free pass. At a rate that mirrors West Virginia’s, the potential severance tax revenue on gas production in 2010, according to MarcellusGas.org, was approximately $556.6 million. This is more than a half billion dollars that could be used to fix our state’s

DOONESBURY

budgetary deficits.

Corbett has shown that he’s siding with big business while turning his back on two of the largest employers in the commonwealth: No. 7 Penn State and No. 9 University of Pittsburgh.

With the environmental and public health concerns that loom large with Marcellus Shale drilling, now is not the time to give the industry a free pass. If Pennsylvania is going to let natural gas companies destroy its land and pollute its waters, it should at the very least benefit in return, rather than dooming itself to lose educated citizens.

History slipped away from township leaders

M

ayor Carl Kuren and councilwoman Mary Yuknavich let slip away another part of Wilkes-Barre Township history. I am speaking of St. Joseph’s Monastery, which the township could purchase, as well as Wilkes-Barre Township High School, which was offered for free.

Why aren’t the townspeople in an uproar over losing two of our biggest assets and historic legacies? People, you should be ashamed of yourselves for letting Kuren and Yuknavich rule you like sheep.

Joseph Naperkowski Wilkes-Barre

State stores are assets, not a one-time bonanza

G

ov. Tom Corbett apparently believes that privatizing the state liquor stores is making smaller government.

State Rep. Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny County, speaking at a committee hearing, estimates that the state would receive about $2 billion for the privatizing of its wine and liquor stores.

Currently, the commonwealth acquires about a half-billion dollars annually in profits from the wine and liquor stores; over five years the state treasury will obtain more than $2 billion in revenue and the infusion of money is ongoing.

Pennsylvania’s Liquor Control Board is a cash cow. Instead of butchering, it should be milked. Likewise, the revenues from the state Lottery Commission and the state Turnpike Commission – another lucrative entity that because of Act 44 of 2007 pumps about $450 million annually to Pennsylvania’s Department of Transportation – are cash cows the state needs to develop, not reduce by streamlining. These agencies are self-supporting and do not draw taxpayers’ revenue from the state’s budget.

Shickshinny officials go door-to-door with advice Approximately 50 homes in the borough will be affected if the river rises too high.

By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

SHICKSHINNY – Preparations for flooding were under way early Thursday morning in Shickshinny.

Mayor Beverly Moore and

Council President Rosalie Whitebread went door-todoor to the roughly 50 homes in the borough that Moore stand to be affected if the Susquehanna rises too high, discussing emergency management plans.

She said the borough is monitoring the height and speed of the river and has set up a disaster center in the borough fire hall, where residents can go with questions.

The river, she said, has been “very swollen; after last week it really didn’t go down that much.”

Shickshinny is not protected by a flood levee. At 24 feet, Canal

Street begins to flood, followed

by Susquehanna Avenue.

The rising waters also back up Shickshinny Creek, which drains into the Susquehanna, causing it to spill over its banks and flood Route 11, Moore said.

Moore also met with Luzerne County officials at 5 p.m. the Luzerne County Emergency Management Agency Building in Wilkes-Barre.

Moore, who lives on the river, said she has begun moving items

out of her garage.

“Everybody knows, once I start to pack up, they’d better get moving,” she said.

Moore said the weather has also led the borough to postpone its Sesquicentennial dance, originally scheduled for Saturday. The celebration of the borough’s 150th anniversary has been renamed the Post-flood St. Patrick’s Day Sesquicentennial kickoff and is rescheduled for April 2.

this way to prevent the water from spilling over.”

Flood gates on the Barney Street Bridge will be closed if Solomon Creek appears to flood out of its channel.

It will be the first time the flood gates were opened since the bridges were replaced.

At a replacement cost of $11 million, the four bridges were constructed with 26-foot-long gates that swing open to create a chan-

nel for the water to remain within its banks.

The South Franklin Street Bridge opened in August 2006, the Waller Street Bridge in October 2006 and the Regent Street Bridge in November 2008. The bridge on Barney Street was the last bridge to open in August 2009.

Fire Chief Jay Delaney said it takes approximately 40 minutes to set up the flood gates on each bridge. Solomon Creek begins in Mountain Top and flows through Ashley, Hanover Township, South Wilkes-Barre and back into Hanover Township, discharging into the Susquehanna River.

At 8:30 a.m. Thursday, the creek was flowing calmly at less than 1 foot, according to the measurement scale along the wall near South Franklin Street. By 3 p.m., the creek had a much faster current at a level above 2 feet.

“We’re uncertain of what’s going to come down from the mountains,” Leighton said. “We don’t want to do this (closing flood gates) in the middle of the night.”

He said the flood wall, if need be, will be erected on North Washington Street today.

The wall prevents flooding from Mill Creek in the Brookside section of the city.

Dr.AgapitoLopez,aretiredophthalmologistandaLatinocommunityleaderinHazleton, said he and his wife moved to the Hazleton area from Dallas – about 40 miles north – in 1992 to shorten his wife’s commute to her Hazleton job.

A native of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Lopez lived and practiced in Arizona before taking a job with an eye-care group in Kingston. He was happy with the cost of living in the city as well.

“You could get a half-double house here for $350 a month rent. You could buy a house for $35,000. Not any more; now it’s about $70,000. I was renting a half-double house with three bedrooms for $325 a month in 2000,” he said.

Lopez said that when he moved here, Hazleton’s downtown was filled with vacant buildings.

“There was a decreasing population, mostly an aging population. There was a lot of unemployment, given the amount of people here, but most of them would not want to work in jobs that were too hazardous, like cutting meats or farming. So we

had immigrants coming here initially from Mexico to pick the crops or work at Christmas tree farms. More people came after thatfromNewYork,PhiladelphiaandNew Jersey,” he said.

It was jobs in Greater Hazleton’s industrial parks, Lopez said, that drew many Latinos to the area. Even well-educated Latinoswhoearnedengineeringandotherprofessional degrees in other countries worked in places such as the Cargill meat packaging plant in Humboldt Industrial Parkuntiltheycouldbecertifiedtoworkin their field in the United States.

The Latino migration has spread northward in Luzerne County during the last decade.

In the nearby communities of Kingston and Hanover Township, the Hispanic populations climbed from 111 to 422 and from 69to326,respectively,inthatsameperiod.

Black Knights ready to rebound from disappointing District 2 championship loss while shooting for a state playoff victory.

“One of our main goals before the season was to win a game in the state playoffs,” said LakeLehman coach Jim Spencer. “We still can accomplish it.”

It won’t be easy, especially if the Black

“No, no, no,” Belenski said. “There are no weak teams. Anybody can beat anybody. It’s a 32-minute season now.”

Whether there will be another 32 minutes for Redeemer (22-4) after today will be decided to-

ike Rice was running around the court of the world’s most famous arena, a self-described “lunatic” grabbing his own wrist in demonstration of what he believed was yet another late-game nonfoul call on one of his Rutgers players. Rice had every right to be steamed, every reason to be ranting and stomping toward the refereeing crew in abject anger.

But here’s the harsher Mike Rice truth: Rice hadn’t yet realized the full measure of incompetence visited upon his basketball team, a comedy of officiating errors that robbed Rutgers of a chance to win its second-round Big East tournament game against St. John’s and put an unmistakable stain on the Big East tournament at Madison Square Garden.

With a series of mistakes so obvious the Big East was forced to issue a near-immediate admission of guilt after the Red Storm’s 65-63 win, the referee trio of Jim Burr, Tim Higgins and Earl Walton managed to mar what had been an entertaining, if ugly game, tainting the St. John’s victory just as certainly as they stole a final possession from Rutgers.

The three officials have withdrawn from the rest of the Big East tournament.

By the time Rice sat behind a microphone in reaction to the end of his debut season at Rutgers, he’d already been handed the phone of a co-worker at Rutgers and seen the replay of the final, frantic seconds. He’d already watched St. John’s forward Justin Brownlee step out of bounds with 1.7 seconds remaining, a move that should have stopped the clock and given Rutgers a final chance to score.

By then, Rice actually knew the truth of Brownlee’s multiple transgressions, which included traveling prior to stepping out of bounds and heaving the ball into the stands after stepping out of bounds, any or all of which should have forced a whistle, a clock stoppage and a change of possession.

“Was there a mistake made? I saw it on YouTube,” Rice said.

“There was a mistake.”

The coach paused, measuring his next words with care.

“There is going to be blood coming through my tongue right now, but it’s what it is,” he said. “We’re going to control how we respond.”

As much as Rice wanted to vent some more, his detour onto the high road was the only logical destination for a coach who has unfairly been portrayed as a sideline madman. When the lasting image of his near-upset of Villanova in last year’s opening round NCAA tournament game was the one of his own Robert Morris players restraining him due to similarly justified non-call anger, Rice paid the price on the interview circuit. The door at Rutgers opened only because of Fred Hill’s ridiculous late-April meltdown at a baseball game, and it is clear Rice remains mindful of his own advice to his kids: I can’t control what happens, but I can control my reaction.

Rice’s restraint was the reason Rutgers athletic director Tim Pernetti later said, “Given the unacceptable way in which that game ended, I am very proud of Mike Rice for the way he handled himself and our program. I just feel bad for our players and especially for our seniors who played so hard.”

Pasone finds the right way to Class 2A quarterfinals

By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

HERSHEY — After his last appearance in the PIAA Championships was over quickly, Vito Pasone was anxious to get back out on the mat at Giant Center.

The Meyers junior had to wait a little longer after being called to the wrong mat for his 112-pound preliminary bout against Ligonier Valley sophomore Joshua Patrick. Instead of being instructed to go to an open mat, Pasone waited by an ongoing match, an unusual occurrence at

the event.

But once Pasone (43-3) got down to work, he looked comfortable and ready for his first state tournament since his freshman year by defeating Patrick, 7-4 Thursday morning during the PIAA Class 2A Championships.

HERSHEY — By now, one would think that Josh Popple’s opponents would know the Coughlin standout wrestler loves tilting enemies and piling up back points.

But that wasn’t the case during the preliminary round of Thursday’s PIAA Class 3A Championships.

The 189-pounder, who was in a scoreless match after the first period, deferred his choice to the third period and his op-

ponent, Kyle Stauffer, from Lower Dauphin, chose down position.

Big mistake.

Popple used that to his advantage and piled up 12 back points in the period before picking top in the third period and pinning Stauffer in the third stanza with 1:20 left on the clock.

Owners, players remain far apart with deadline looming

By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Pro Football Writer

WASHINGTON — The tension and stakes rose in the NFL labor talks with only a day left before the twice-extended collective bargaining agreement expires, increasing the possibility of the league losing games to a work stoppage for the first time in nearly a quarter-century.

With the two sides far apart on key economic issues, nine of the 10 members of the owners’ labor committee joined NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Thursday at the office of the federal mediator overseeing the talks — but, the union said, none of the owners met with any players.

Even though there were smallgroup negotiations between

PIAA GIRLS BASKETBALL TOURNEY

See LEHMAN, Page 3B

NFL and union representatives, no one gave any indication that progress was made. Indeed, the loudest words came in the evening, during a series of back-andforth barbs sparked by league general counsel and lead negotiator Jeff Pash’s comments.

“Things can come together quickly. Things can fall apart quickly,” Pash said. “I’ve said it

many times: If both sides have an equal commitment to getting this deal done, it will get done. I don’t know if both sides have an equal commitment. ... Obviously, we have the commitment.”

NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith went back to the mediator’s office to respond.

“We have been committed to this process. But for anyone to

stand and turn to the American people and say they question that? Look, I understand that there’s probably some things Jeff Pash just has to say, but this is the truth: We know that as early as March of 2009 ... the National Football League engaged in a strategy to get $4 billion of television money ... even if the games weren’t played.”

Lake-Lehman’s Selena Adamshick led the Wyoiming Valley Conference in scoring with a 21-point average.

Knights perform like they did in their 41-24 loss to Dunmore in the district final. The Bucks employed a diamond-and-one defense against Lake-Leman forward Selena Adamshick, limiting the 6-foot senior to 12 points.

Adamshick led the Wyoiming Valley Conference in scoring with a 21-point average, and scored more than 30 points in each of Lake-Lehman’s three games prior to playing Dunmore.

“We’re going to need a big game from Selena if we’re going to stay alive,” Spencer said.

“She’s capable, because I think she’ll be the best player on the court.”

Adamshick didn’t get much offensive support against Dunmore. To compound matters, junior point guard Nikki Sutliff suffered a bruised knee early in the first quarter and wound up with only six points.

Sutliff missed two days of practice this week, but is expected to be in the starting lineup.

“She took it easy,” Spencer said. “Hopefully, she’ll be ready to go (tonight). We’re counting on her to guard their best player (Elise DiFilippo). Nikki is the smartest player I’ve ever coached.”

That might turn out to be a major challenge. The 5-6 DiFilippo scored 20 points in Springfield-Montco’s 59-57 overtime win over Christopher Dock in the district finals last Saturday, including the winning points.

DiFilippo was fouled while

putting up a desperation shot from mid-court in the closing seconds, and converted two-ofthree free throws.

“She’s an outstanding player,” Spencer said. “She handles the ball well and drives to the basket. “She’s not tall, but is very scrappy.”

The Spartans also rely heavily

on 5-8 forward Annie Curele and 5-6 guard Taylor Koronical.

“Curele is an outside shooter and rebounds well,” Spencer said. “Koronical is a good shooter and a solid all-around player.

“Springfield is a lot like Nanticoke Area,” he added. “They don’t have any big girls, but they play the same man-to-man defense and really scrap.”

Spencer is well aware that Adamshick needs to have a stellar performance for Lehman to have a chance to spring the upset.

“We need her to patrol the paint. Springfield’s number one problem is to be able to stop Selena.”

The coach is confident that his team has shaken off the Dunmore loss.

“We’re disappointed, but we’re ready to play this game.”

Mohawks look to bounce back

Miami stops skid, knocks off Lakers

Meyers seeks first state victory in nine years in battle of teams trying to overcome doses of district heartache.

The Heat ended a five-game slump and clinched a playoff berth in the process.

By JOHN ERZAR jerzar@timesleader.com

As heartbreaking as Meyers’ loss in the District 2 Class 2A boys basketball championship game was, it paled in comparison to the fate of Central Columbia in the District 4 title contest.

At least the Mohawks knew the inevitable was at hand in the final seconds of their 49-36 setback to Riverside. Central Columbia did not.

The Blue Jays were on the cusp of winning their first district title in 12 seasons against Hughesville. They had the ball with six seconds left, but an errant pass led to a turnover and a buzzer-beating basket that gave Hughesville a 36-33 victory.

“Right now Now both teams will try recover starting at 3 for us, it’s to p.m. Saturday as District about a 2 runner-up Meyers (23-2) plays District 4 little rerunner-up Central Columdemption, bia (17-9) at Wyoming Area High School. bouncing “We gave them two days back.” off and came back in Meyers Pat Toole (Tuesday),” Meyers coach coach Pat Toole said. “I told them how this team lost their district final.

This team lost a heartbreaker, too. They had the ball in a tied game under their basket with six seconds to go and threw the ball away on an inbound pass. Then Hughesville hit a three to win it.

“Right now for us, it’s about a little redemption, bouncing back and the opportunity to play one of the top teams in the nation most likely in the second round.”

That team would be District 12 champion Imhotep Charter (26-3), which is a huge favorite against District 3 third seed Wyomissing (14-11) at 6 p.m. Saturday at South Philadelphia High School. Imhotep is ranked 25th in the nation and fifth in the East region by USA Today.

But first Meyers must take care of Central Columbia, a team that prides itself on defense. The Blue Jays have held 18 opponents to 40 points or less. Only two opponents – Bloomsburg and Selinsgrove – have been able to reach at least 60 points.

“They play man-to-man and 1-2-2 zone,” Toole said. “Are they going to look at the Riverside game and try to man us up or are they going to look at 1-for-15 from beyond the arc and play zone? Obviously, we’re going to prepare for both. I don’t think it’s any secret, we’re going to have to get tempo in this game.”

Meyers was able to create a fast pace against Riverside at times. The only problem was Riverside had the athletes – in particular Tommy Armillay and Jerry Kincel – to match the Mohawks gallop for gallop.

“I don’t think they have an offensive player along the lines of a Kincel or an Armillay,” Toole said. “They look more team oriented, low scoring. We’re going to have to push the ball up and down the floor.”

Central Columbia does have a pair of 6foot-3 seniors in Mitch Hock and Nick Marotto to match up with Meyers’ big men Rasheed Moore and Keyton Winder. Senior guard Tanner Harmon has paced the offense in the postseason, so he’ll likely

MIAMI — The first chore for the Miami Heat is done: They’re in the playoffs.

That’s no surprise.

Snapping a five-game slide by beating the NBA’s hottest team to get there, well, that might not have been what everyone saw coming.

Chris Bosh scored 24 points, Dwyane Wade added eight of his 20 in the fourth quarter and the Heat ended their losing streak by beating the two-time defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers 94-88 on Thursday night, the earliest Miami has secured a postseason bid in franchise history.

When: 7 p.m. today Where: Pittston Area H.S., Yatesville Admission: $6 What’s At Stake: The winner moves to the second round on Tuesday, playing the winner of tonight’s game between District 12 runner-up Philadelphia Electric and Technology (22-5) and District 1 third seed Pope John Paul II (16-7). Those teams play at 6 p.m. today at South Philadelphia High School.

About Danville: The District 4 runner-up Ironmen enter the game off a 62-50 loss to Mifflinburg in the district championship game. It was the third time they lost to Mifflinburg (23-1) this season.

Danville is making its ninth state appearance in the past 10 seasons, missing the tournament in 2006-07. The Ironmen were the District 4 champions last season and lost 64-51 to District 12 third seed Archbishop Carroll in the second round.

About Redeemer: The Royals won their first District 2 championship by defeating West Scranton, 42-29. They will be playing in the state tournament for the third consecutive season in their four-year existence.

Redeemer was the District 2 runner-up last season and defeated District 3 third seed Steelton-Highspire, 59-39, in the first round. The Royals were eliminated by District 12 champion and eventual state champion Neumann-Goretti, 91-56, in the second round.

night as the Royals face District 4 runner-up Danville (17-7) at 7 p.m. at Pittston Area High School in a PIAA Class 3A first-round game.

Belenski wasn’t inferring by his statement that West Scranton was a weak team. In fact, the Royals didn’t pull away from West Scranton until midway through the third quarter. And the Invaders’ cold shooting played a part in it.

However, there are a couple uncanny similarities that put the Ironmen in the same framework of West Scranton.

It starts in the backcourt where West Scranton had ultra-athletic Tyler Hughes, who was one of the best quarterbacks in District 2 and the state during the football season.

But so was Danville junior guard Andrew Andreychik, who set a school record with 32 touchdown passes in leading the Ironmen to the second round of the PIAA 2A football playoffs. Andreychik leads the team in scoring, tossing in about 17 points per game.

Miller scored 12 for Miami.

Kobe Bryant scored 24 points for the Lakers, whose eightgame winning streak was snapped. Pau Gasol added 20 and Andrew Bynum finished with 13 points and 12 rebounds for Los Angeles.

There were so many subplots surrounding this game — the winning streak, the losing streak, Miami’s frustration levels, and so on — that it didn’t need more drama.

Lakers coach Phil Jackson provided some before tipoff anyway.

Jackson — who’s shown a flair for poking the Heat more than once this season — said before the game that he doesn’t like how Miami plays, even likening its style to an Xbox video game.

“I’m not a big fan of the style that Miami plays,” Jackson said.

He might like it less now, after the Heat finished off a season sweep of the defending champions.

Holy Redeemer (22-4) vs. Danville (17-7)

As Hughes had a big-play teammate in Malcolm Sweeting on the gridiron and hardwoods, Andreychik has one as well in Mikael Owens-Wright. Owens-Wright is bigger than Sweeting at 6-foot-3, 220 pounds, but averages in the same point range on the court – 14 per game.

The rest of the Ironmen’s lineup has specific roles, similar to West Scranton’s other starting three.

“They are West Scranton-like,” Belenski said. “They have a very good point guard. They have a kid inside who is very physical.

They play an aggressive man-toman. They’ll play fullcourt, they’ll play halfcourt. They’re tough kids.”

Redeemer’s first district title in the school’s four-year history didn’t come easily. The Royals struggled for a 50-40 victory in their district opener over Dallas,

an opponent they defeated 6241and 68-49 during the Wyoming Valley Conference season. They followed with a 58-51win over defending champ Abington Heights, avenging an early-season loss.

“We’re playing well,” Belenski said. “At the end of the year, we played Crestwood then Hazleton then Berwick. We were climbing the ladder. Then we had that layoff, but we’ve started again. We played poor against Dallas, we played good against Abington and we played great against West Scranton.

“So we’re back up that ladder and going in the right direction.”

At the top rung is Peter Alexis, the 6-11 Penn State recruit who was the WVC Division II MVP. But fellow seniors – guards Austin Carr and Tim Lambert and forwards John McCarthy and Steve Ruch – have all had their moments to shine as well this season.

Tonight’s winner advances to the second round, playing the winner of tonight’s game between D12 runner-up Philadelphia Electric and Technology (22-4) and D1 third seed Pope John Paul II (16-7). Those teams play at 6 p.m. at South Philadelphia High School.

TORONTO — Brian Boucher made 27 saves and Claude Giroux’s second-period goal stood up as the winner in the Philadelphia Flyers’ 3-2 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night.

Andrej Meszaros and Darroll Powe also scored for Eastern Conference-leading Philadelphia, playing without top defenseman Chris Pronger because of an undisclosed upper-body injury.

Mikhail Grabovski and Joffrey Lupul scored for Toronto.

The Maple Leafs have lost three straight, hurting their bid to climb into playoff position.

Sabres 4, Bruins 3, OT

BOSTON — Brad Boyes scored at 3:44 of overtime and the Buffalo Sabres came back from two deficits to beat the Boston Bruins.

Boston goalie Tim Thomas stopped Nathan Gerbe’s shot from 30 feet but lost sight of the puck.

Gerbe retrieved it just to

the right of Thomas and passed across the crease to an unguarded Boyes, who tapped it in.

Boston squandered leads of 2-0 in the second period and 3-2 in the third.

Senators 2, Panthers 1

SUNRISE, Fla. — Defenseman Erik Karlsson scored twice in the last 8:48 and the Ottawa Senators beat the Florida Panthers.

Former Florida backup Craig Anderson stopped 33 shots and came within 4:13 of his second shutout since being acquired in a trade on Feb. 18.

Blues 4, Canadiens 1

ST. LOUIS — Jaroslav Halak made 27 saves in his first game against his former Montreal teammates to help St. Louis beat the Canadiens.

Predators 4, Wild 0

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Pekka Rinne stopped 19 shots for sixth shutout of the season for Nashville and the third of his career against Minnesota.

The wreckage of a camera tower is collapsed into a lake behind the ninth green following a strong band of thunderstorms during the first round of the Cadillac Championship golf tournament, Thursday in Doral, Fla.

Mahan storms into lead at Doral Tournament leader doesn’t miss a green as he delivers some calm to chaotic course.

By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

DORAL, Fla. — Television towers toppled and the monster scoreboard at Doral came crashing down when 50 mph gusts blew through the Blue Monster.

Hunter Mahan then delivered some excitement of his own.

Mahan birdied his opening four holes Thursday and kept right on rolling until the stormdelayed opening round was suspended by darkness. He didn’t miss a green or come close to a bogey in 11 holes and was 7-under par.

Mahan, the only American winner in the last five World Golf Championships, didn’t get much attention in a tournament that tried to drum up some drama by grouping players by their world ranking.

The biggest crowd belonged to

Tiger Woods Gusts that and Phil Mick- reached 52 elson in a rare weekday pair- mph knocked ing, with down the Graeme McDo- large, manual well along for scoreboard. the ride. They scrapped their way around Doral without challenging the leaders — Mickelson at 2 under, with Woods and McDowell another shot back through 15 holes.

The top three players did a better job living up to their billing.

Martin Kaymer, in his second week as the new No. 1, opened with three straight birdies and was at 5 under through 10 holes.

Match Play winner Luke Donald (No. 3) joined him with a birdie on the 10th hole, while Lee Westwood (No. 2) was another shot behind.

Mahan went out in 30 on the back nine, which included birdie putts of 35 and 40 feet.

At 7 under, he was two shots clear of Charley Hoffman. “I guess with that storm, it brought

tranquility to the golf course,” Mahan said.

It was chaotic for an hour.

Woods and Mickelson were on their way to the 10th tee to start the round when dark clouds gathered and the siren sounded to stop play. Players on the course were brought into the clubhouse, and that’s when the action began.

Gusts that reached 52 mph knocked down the large, manual scoreboard — a traditional fixture at Doral beyond the lake to the left of the 18th green — and left it in pieces. A stationary camera in a TV tower behind the ninth green captured video of another TV tower behind the eighth green crashing down into a bunker.

Moments later, the camera went from showing green grass to a gray sky and then went blank.

The tower where it was stationed was blown over backward into a pond, with the camera going to the bottom. Divers had to retrieve it.

No one was injured, and while 17 newly planted palm trees were uprooted, the course was fine.

“He landed on his rear end, which is probably the best place you can actually land. He did not want to go to the hospital, but we’ve got to make sure.

When he left he was in good spirits, laughing,” he said.

Girardi said paramedics asked Berra questions and took his blood pressure several times.

“He wasn’t really excited about that,” said Girardi, who rode with Berra to the game.

SULLIVAN Continued from Page 1B

And thus do we reach the truly sickening chapter of this entire sordid tale, the unfair end to the college careers of Rutgers seniors Jonathan Mitchell, James Beatty and Mike Coburn. Rice was 100 percent correct when, after insisting “the game should have had one more play,” he added, “Does that mean we’re going to win? Certainly not.” But Rutgers deserved the right to find out.

“You want it to be earned,” a devastated Beatty said.

“You don’t want to feel like it was taken away from you.

That hurts even more. Sure I want to kick a few chairs over. But at the end of the day, what good does that do?”

The sadness in the eyes of the three senior teammates was unmistakable, as the truth of the finality of their college careers set in. None of them knew what to expect this season, when Rice and his high-energy package arrived on campus, promising a rebirth of a dead program. Once the coach got these vital veterans to buy in, progress followed. The fans awoke from years of depressing slumber thanks to games like a February upset of No. 9 Villanova, and the program continued to rise with wins like Wednesday’s overtime opener against Seton Hall.

“Over time, this season will be about the toughness those three seniors developed, how they led these group of misfits not to extreme places, but to us, extreme places. These guys did this,” Rice said.

As the player on the receiving end of what Rice believed was a foul in the final seconds, freshman Gilvydas Biruta had every right to be angry after the game. But as he folded his 6-foot-8 frame on a locker room chair and pulled the hood of his white sweatshirt over his head, his thoughts were only with his roster elders.

“Just seeing those seniors with their heads down and hands on their faces, they didn’t deserve to go out this way,” Biruta said.

No one does.

We all understand how the element of human error can reign in sports, from umpire Jim Joyce’s blown perfect game call last season to the 49ers’ missed pass interference against the Giants in the 2002 NFC playoffs. The NFL issued a day-late apology then, too, much like Big East commissioner John Marinatto issued his league’s mea culpa Wednesday.

“The Big East conference acknowledges that two separate officiating errors occurred,” the statement read, referring to the collective blindness on Brownlee’s travel violation and his step out of bounds, mistakes that occurred right in front of where Higgins was positioned on the sideline. “Neither error is reviewable or correctable under NCAA playing rules.”

Rice and Rutgers can never get those 1.7 back. But this much is certain. In the aftermath of a most embarrassing Big East day, they never lost their dignity. In the end, that should matter more.

PIAA WRESTLING NOTEBOOK

Walker and UConn jump past Pitt Laytos is on Trail The ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Kemba Walker hit the winning basket on a classic stepback jumper at the buzzer, and No. 21 Connecticut stunned third-ranked Pittsburgh 76-74 in the quarterfinals of the Big East tournament on Thursday.

Walker got the ball at the top of the key with 15 seconds left, allowed the clock to melt under five, then made a move toward the basket. He used a crossover and shoulder roll to dump his defender, 6-foot-10 Gary McGhee, right to the ground, then calmly drained the shot.

The buzzer sounded just as the ball went through the net, and freshman Shabazz Napier was the first to grab Walker by the waist and hoist him into the air.

The Huskies (24-9) have won three games in three days after a late-season slide sent them to the No. 9 seed in the Big East tournament.

to making history

By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

HERSHEY — Eric Laytos is chasing District 2 history.

Sure, the Lackawanna Trail junior has a long way to go, but with a successful tournament this weekend he could be in position to become the second three-time PIAA Champion from the district. The only other athlete to accomplish the feat was Meyers’ Jay Patterson in 1978, 1979 and 1980. Abington Heights’ Evan Craig got to the finals three times, but won twice, the last being in 2010.

Laytos, a 215-pounder, opened his 2011 PIAA Class 2A tournament on Thursday the same way he ended the 2010 event when he won the state title – with a fall.

This time, he pinned Bethlehem Catholic’s Josh Alpha in 4:28.

“Just throw it in when you get a chance to do it, then wrapped it around his head and throw him,” Laytos said about his pinning combination.

“It’s nice to win (in the preliminary round) and show everyone I can do it again, that I’m going for it again.”

Laytos is not only a defending state champion after becoming the first in school history, he is the No. 1 ranked wrestler in the state by many outlets and is the favorite by several to claim another title.

But the Lions’ standout is not bothered by the pressure.

“You can’t let the pressure get to you,” the Trail grappler added. “Of course there’s everyone who is waiting for you to lose, but that’s just how they are. It’s not a big deal.”

Laytos was one of eight defending champions in Class 2A to open the tournament with a win. None of the returning champions in either classification lost Thursday.

FALLING FAST

Only three pins in the championship round of the Class 2A tournament were under one minute on Thursday, and two of them occurred at 215.

The quickest fall of the round was by Tamaqua’s Garth Lakitsky, who pinned his opponent in 46 seconds. Danville’s Dylan Dailey recorded the

second fastest fall in 2A with a 50-second pin.

The quickest pin overall in the championship rounds came from Pittsburgh Central Catholic 189-pounder Perry Hills.

The Class 3A wrestler pinned his opponent in 38 seconds.

His next opponent is defending state champion Kenny Courts from Central Dauphin, who had the second fastest fall in 3A – getting his opponent on his back in 1:00.

ONE DOESN’T SURVIVE

Hardly any upsets occurred during Day 1 of state tournament action.

In both classes, only one of the grapplers who entered unbeaten or as a defending state titlist lost his first match.

That unwanted honor goes to Trinity 215-pounder Kyle McWreath, who lost and saw his undefeated record fall to 32-1 in Class 3A. There will be at least two unbeatens to go down today. In Class 3A, South Western’s Cameron Throckmorton (36-0) and Nazareth’s Zach Horan (46-0) will meet in the 130pound quarters. The other matchup of lossless opponents will be at 171 where Bethel Park’s Nick Bonaccorsi (40-0) and Plymouth Whitemarsh’s JM Staudenmayer (39-0) will hook up.

BACK IN ACTION

After a three-year stint helping Meyers coaches, Frank Kastreva is returning to the media side of the sport.

Kastreva, who was known as the proprietor of WVCD2.com, will begin a statewide rankings poll next season.

The new website, which will begin ranking Class 2A and 3A wrestlers beginning Oct. 31, is www.premierparankings.com.

The poll will list the top 16 grapplers and teams in each classification. Kastreva and Sean McMahon will also be hosting a live webcast Sunday nights beginning next season and plan to broadcast finals of tournaments from around the state with video and audio.

The site is running now, but the rankings won’t begin until next season.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

Phillies give Manuel two-year extension Veteran manager reportedly could make up to $4 million under terms of the new deal.

By BOB BROOKOVER The Philadelphia Inquirer

CLEARWATER, Fla. — Just before the start of spring training, the MLB Network did a countdown of the 10 best current managers in baseball, and the Phillies’ Charlie Manuel checked in at fourth on the list.

Now, for the first time since he was hired in 2005, the Phillies manager is being paid like one of the best in the game.

After prolonged negotiations, the team announced Thursday that Manuel had received a twoyear extension that will keep the manager in the Phillies dugout through the 2013 season, when he will be 69 years old. Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. disputed his team’s own news release and said Manuel’s new deal is actually for three years because the Phillies gave Manuel a raise over the $2.4 million he was supposed to make this season.

A league source said that Manuel’s 2011 salary would jump to $3.75 million and that he would make between $3.8 million and $4 million in the final two years of the deal. Those figures would place Manuel right in the same neighborhood as Boston’s Terry Francona, who topped the MLB

Network list of best managers.

According to reports out of Boston, Francona is in the middle of a contract that Manuel could pay him $20 million over five seasons.

Six years ago, if you had told a Phillies fan that Francona and Manuel would rank among the best managers in the game, you would have been greeted by a sideways stare or challenged to a fistfight. Now, they are considered elite.

Manuel, 67, was truly in a good place late Thursday afternoon after Roy Halladay pitched six dominating innings in a 7-0 exhibition win over the New York Yankees at Bright House Field.

He had said earlier in the day that he never made more than $19,000 as a big-league player, but he received some substantial pay days during his career in Japan.

More important, Manuel said, was the life experience he got in Japan.

“I would have never been a bigleague player or coach if I didn’t go to Japan,” he said. “I used to whine, make excuses, and feel sorry for myself before I went to Japan. When I went over there, I learned that the world wasn’t all about me.”

Hazleton Area’s Tim Samec, right, wrestles Mechanicsburg’s Rustin Barrick during 160-pound action during the opening state round at the Giant Center.

CLASS 3A Continued from Page 1B

Popple and fellow Wyoming Valley Conference 189-pounder Mike Mirra of Crestwood were the only two of seven from the conference to win their opening round bout in the Class 3A event.

“When you get up here not many people have seen me wrestle before,” Popple said. “And sometimes the coaches don’t do the research. It puts me in better position, but I’m not going to expect it the rest of the tournament. I’ve got a lot of guys scouting me.”

Popple and Mirra may be the only two alive for a gold medal, but four others won their first round consolation match and are still in contention for at least an eighth-place medal. With a win in today’s second round of

consolations, which begin at 2:45 p.m., those four grapplers – Pittston Area’s Michael Domarasky (112 pounds) and Jason Laboranti (215) and Hazleton Area’s Tim Samec (152) and Chad Hoffman (171) – will be guaranteed at least an eighthplace finish.

“If you lose two matches, some people might think that you’re not worthy of being at the state tournament,” Domarasky said. “To win one more time and be guaranteed a medal would be great.”

Popple (42-0) moves on to face Harriton’s Haddon Corbett (42-2) in today’s quarterfinals, which are slated to begin at 1 p.m. Mirra (36-6) will see unbeaten Upper Moreland senior John Bolich (38-0) in the quarters.

Mirra advanced with a 2-1 win over Corry’s Nash Walters. The Crestwood standout got a reversal in the third period and held on for the victory after his

opponent got a last-second escape.

“He wrestled solid today,” Crestwood coach J.J. Konigus said about his senior. “He’s got to score more points. He’s making matches too close and he can score way more points on top. He’s got to score more from his feet (today).”

Every WVC athlete that lost at least once on Thursday had tough opponents.

Domarasky lost a close 3-0 decision to New Oxford’s Jordan Conaway, who is ranked second in the state.

But the Pittston Area senior could have had a 2-0 lead if he was awarded a takedown in the

first period, but he never got the call and then went down 3-0 in the second period. He rebounded to win his first round consolation bout, 13-6 over Clearfield’s Christian Stone.

“I understand that you’re not going to get every call in the world but...you can’t complain about it. You still have to wrestle hard because two points aren’t going to win a match at the state tournament,” Domarasky said.

“You can’t lose your mindset after losing your first match.”

Laboranti netted Souderton standout Joe Stolfi, who’s also ranked second in the state. He lost by major decision to Stolfi (41-2), and came back to beat

PASONE Continued from Page 1B

In his freshman year, Pasone only spent 3 minutes, 58 seconds on the mat in Hershey. He surpassed that in one match and this time picked up a win. He advances to this morning’s quarterfinals where he will take on Jamestown senior Tyler Roberts (38-5), who knocked off Church Farm School’s Baff Atakora-Bediako, 9-6 in the first round. The quarterfinals begin at 8 a.m.

While Pasone won his first match, Lake-Lehman 119-pounder Austin Harry was not as successful. The freshman Black Knight lost his first match, 9-4 to Phillip Elias, from Shady Side Academy then dispatched Oley Valley sophomore Robert Ritschard with a 6-5 victory in the first round of consolations.

With a win today, Harry will be guaranteed a medal and could have a chance to become the first four-time state medalist in school history.

“You can’t be happy after winning just one match, you have to take it one match at a time,” Pasone said. “I have a lot of matches to win yet.”

The Meyers standout opened a 4-1

lead after the first period with a pair of takedowns 43 seconds apart. He increased his lead to 7-1 grabbing three back points a minute into the second period. Patrick (26-6) got another escape near the end of the second period to cut the lead to 7-2. And he nearly

got a takedown of his own and got Pasone on his back, but time ran out.

At the start of the third period, Pasone chose neutral position and Patrick capitalized with the two points by taking control and the lead was trimmed to 7-4.

Red Lion’s David Quackenbos, 4-3 to stave off elimination.

“You’re not a bad wrestler if you’re 40 and two,” Domarasky added. “I give a lot of credit to Jason. That kid is good and Jason was going the whole first period until that kid pulled a headlock. Not many people are expecting that.”

Hoffman also pulled the second-ranked grappler in the state, according to the Pennsylvania Power Rankings, in undefeated Nick Bonaccorsi from Bethel Park. He also dropped a major decision, then came back to eliminate Derek Danver from Clearfield, 9-4.

Hoffman followed in his teammate’s footsteps.

Pasone was also hit with a caution warning in the third and admitted he got a little complacent after opening the big lead.

“I don’t know what happened. I was fine in the beginning and doing fine, then all of a sudden the kid broke right at the end. It’s fixable though,” Pasone said. “I was satisfied with being up but then I remembered what my coach said, that you have to wrestle every minute of every match.”

Harry (36-7) may have lost his first match, but he stayed with Elias (22-2), who entered the event ranked fifth in the state. After being taken down twice and being let up in the first period, Harry trailed 4-2. He was then let up again to start the second period after choosing down and the lead was slimmed to 4-3. When the two were on their feet, Harry nearly had control to get two points for a takedown, which would have given him a lead. But he couldn’t wrap up the second leg then was called out of bounds.

After that, Elias got two more takedowns in the second period to open an 8-4 lead after four minutes.

Elias chose down in the third period and after Harry couldn’t turn him over for back points, the SSA senior got an escape with 35 seconds left to secure

Samec was on the same mat right before Hoffman’s match. In that bout, he dispatched Owen J. Roberts’ Jordan Moser, 5-4.

“I want that medal, at least top eight, but I want to get the highest place possible,” Hoffman said. “Timmy, I really believe he’s going to compete for third place. He’s definitely top three in his weight class. He’s just tough. I have trouble with him in practice and he’s 152 pounds and I’m like 175.”

The only WVC wrestler to lose both matches in 3A was Crestwood’s Matt Ritz. While other WVC standouts got a tough draw in the first round, the Comets senior pulled an excruciating opponent in the consolations in Council Rock South’s Matt Martoccio, who was picked by many to win the 140-pound bracket and was upset in the first round.

“That’s the No. 1 seed and we get him in the wrestlebacks, it doesn’t get any worse,” Konigus added. “But hey, if you’re going to end your season, a good place to end it is the state tournament.”

the victory.

“It’s the ref’s call, you just have to wrestle your match and can’t let the ref call it for you,” Harry said about the possible takedown. “The first match kind of mentally broke me but I was able to come back in the second match and have a good match with the kid.”

In the consolation bout, Harry got down 5-0 a minute into the second period, but he didn’t allow any points the rest of the way. He managed an escape and takedown before the stanza ended to trim the deficit to 5-3. He then quickly worked an escape in the third period to move within 5-4, then got two points for another takedown with 58 seconds left to take the lead. He rode out his opponent for the rest of the match to seal the victory.

“I didn’t win that first match so I knew I had to fight hard in the second for all six minutes to try and win a medal,” Harry added.

Harry, who broke a losing streak for Wyoming Valley Conference freshmen at the state tournament , will face the loser of the quarterfinal match between Wilson’s Michael Fleck and Benton’s Colt Cotten.

Wyoming Valley West’s Kyle Krasavage lost twice as a freshman last year, following Pasone’s two losses in 2009.

Is higher gas hurting spending?

Investors get a reading on how much higher gas prices are nipping into consumers’ overall spending. The Commerce Department releases its retail sales report for February. The report gives a broader look at retail sales than the numbers issued by chain stores because it includes sales from grocery stores and auto dealers. Gas prices averaged $3.37 a gallon across the country by the end of February.

The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan issues its first assessment of consumer sentiment for March. Consumer sentiment measures were up during February, and the employment news that came out last week was encouraging. The question is whether consumers who have started paying more for gas in recent weeks are starting to worry that higher fuel prices will hurt their finances.

And possibly curtail the economic recovery.

Investors will be looking for clues about the Federal Reserve’s next move when William Dudley, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, speaks at a Chamber of Commerce meeting in New York. Dudley is a voting member of the Fed committee that sets monetary policy, including the direction of interest rates. The committee meets next Tuesday, so investors will be eager to glean any insights they can from Dudley’s remarks.

Starbucks, Green Mountain brew a single-cup deal Starbucks Corp. and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. say they have reached a deal that will bring singlecup Starbucks coffee and Tazo tea pods to Keurig users.

Starbucks has been looking to beef up its presence in the fast-growing single-cup coffee market and Green Mountain is considered one of its leaders. Rumors swirled last month that the two were in potential partnership talks.

The agreement announced Thursday between the Seattle coffee chain and the single-serve coffee brew maker provides for the manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sale of the pods for Green Mountain’s Keurig single-cup brewing system.

Terms were not disclosed.

The companies plan to make the K-Cup portion packs available at food, drug, mass, club, specialty and department store retailers in the U.S. and Canada starting in the fall.

More people seek jobless aid

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON — The number of people seeking unemployment benefits rose last week. But the rise comes after applications hit their lowest level in nearly three years, and economists expect further declines as the economy improves.

Applications increased by 26,000 to a seasonally adjusted 397,000 during the week ended March 5, the Labor Department said Thursday.

The latest report covers the week after the Presidents’ Day holiday, when many government offices were closed. Applications usually rise in weeks following holiday-shortened weeks.

Thefour-weekaverage,alessvolatilemeasure, rose to 392,250. The average fell to its lowest level since July 2008 two weeks ago.

Applications below 425,000 signal modest job growth. But they need to fall consistently below 375,000 to signal a sustained decline in the unemployment rate. Unemployment benefit applications peaked during the recession at 651,000.

Economists were encouraged that claims remained below 400,000 for the third straight week.

“We still interpret the data as consistent with strengthening job creation,” said John Ryding, an economist at RDQ Economics.

AseparatereportThursdayshowedthat a sharp rise in oil prices helped push im-

ports up at the fastest pace in18 years in January. That caused the U.S. trade deficit to widen to its largest level in six months.

The January trade deficit increased 15.1 percent to $46.3 billion, the Commerce Departmentsaid.Exportsrose2.7percenttoan all-time high of $167.7 billion. But imports rose a faster 5.2 percent to $214.1billion due to a big jump in America’s foreign oil bill.

That underscores concerns that surging oil prices could derail the economic recovery.

Companies are hiring more, after months of sluggish job creation. Employers added 192,000 jobs last month, the most in nearly a year. The unemployment rate ticked down to 8.9 percent, the lowest level since April 2009.

Wal-Mart expanding online As competition grows from Amazon.com, Wal-Mart is battling back by expanding a program offering the convenience of shopping online along with same-day gratification.

The world’s largest retailer said Thursday it is expanding its service that lets shoppers pick up online orders at stores to all of its 3,600-plus locations. It’s partly a bid to win back consumers who’ve gone elsewhere for convenience.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. previously offered the service on about 2,000 items in less than a quarter of its stores. Now it will apply 40,000 items, including baby items, toys, electronics, video games and appliances. Groceries are not part of the program.

The world’s largest retailer will start rolling out the program to new stores at the end of the month and expects it to be available in all stores by June and on all 40,000 items by the fourth quarter.

American hikes air fares American Airlines is raising U.S. base fares $10 per round trip.

If the increase sticks, it would be the seventh broad price hike this year by U.S. airlines, which say they need more revenue to offset rising fuel prices.

American Airlines spokesman Tim Smith confirmed that his airline raised prices Wednesday night. Delta said it was studying the move but had not matched American yet.

Two low-cost carriers, JetBlue Airways and AirTran Airways, said they had not raised prices. United, Continental and Southwest did not immediately comment on their plans.

AOL is laying off 200 AOL says it’s laying off 200 U.S. staffers from its content and technology departments to eliminate overlap only days after completing its purchase of the Huffington Post.

The cuts also affect 700 jobs at AOL’s offices in India, which mainly provides back-office support to the U.S. But AOL spokesman Graham James says 300 of those will move to other companies that are taking over support functions.

AOL paid $315 million for online news hub The Huffington Post as part of a project to revamp itself as a go-to source for news and other content.

That deal closed Monday.

Dow has big 1-day drop

WALL STREET

NEW YORK — Weak economic news from China, the U.S. and Spain combined with a slump in oil companies sent stocks sharply lower Thursday. The Dow Jones industrial average had its biggest one-day drop since August.

Investors were jarred when China reported a surprise trade deficit. China’s exports fell in February as businesses closed for the weeklong Lunar New Year holiday, but imports of higher-priced oil and other goods jumped, widening the country’s deficit to $7.3 billion.

Moody’s downgraded Spain’s debt, reigniting fears about Europe’s debt crisis. In the U.S., the government reported that

new applications for unemployment benefits rose more than expected last week.

Thursday’s drop in the Dow was the biggest since Aug. 11. The S&P had a larger fall recently, dropping 27.57 points on Feb. 22 as the uprising against Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi gained strength.

News that forces loyal to Gadhafi were poised to recapture the strategic oil port of Ras Lanouf from opposition forces sent oil down in the morning. Crude bounced

higher later in the day after Saudi Arabian police fired at protesters. Crude oil lost $1.68 to settle at $102.70 per barrel, below the high of nearly $107 a barrel it reached on Monday.

Stocks fell broadly, but energy companies were hit the hardest. Exxon Mobil Corp., the largest company in the world by market value, fell 3.6 percent. Chevron Corp. also fell 3 percent. Energy companies fell 3.6 percent, the most of any industry tracked by S&P. Oil has been surging over the past few weeks because of the spreading protests in North Africa the Middle East. Libya produces less than 2 percent of the world’s oil supply, investors have been worried that unrest will spread to major oil-producing countries and disrupt the flow of crude.

Prices of homes dip regionally

By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

Home prices nationally, in Pennsylvania and at the regional level dipped in January, when compared month-to-month and year-to-year.

The data was included in a report released Thursday by CoreLogic, a Santa Ana, Calif.-based provider of information, analytics and business services.

Home prices in the Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre market declined by 11.13 percent in January 2011 compared to January 2010. They declined by 15.60 percent in December 2010 compared to December 2009 when distressed sales were included. Distressed sales include short sales and real estate owned (REO) transactions.

Excluding distressed sales, year-over-year prices declined by 1.47 percent in January 2011 compared to January 2010 and declined by 3.13 percent in December 2010 compared to December 2009.

In its January Home Price Index report, prices in the U.S. declined for the sixth month in a row.

Mark Fleming, chief economist with CoreLogic, said, “A number of factors continue to dampen any recovery in the housing market. Negative equity, which limits the mobility of homeowners, weak demand and the overhang of shadow inventory all continue to exert downward pressure on housing prices.

We are looking out for renewed demand in the coming months as the spring buying season gets underway to hopefully reduce the downward pressure.”

According to the CoreLogic Home Price Index report for January, national home prices, including distressed sales, declined by 5.7 percent in January 2011 compared to January 2010 after declining by 4.7 percent in December 2010 compared to December 2009.

Excluding distressed sales, year-over-year prices declined by 1.6 percent in January 2011 compared to January 2010 and by 3.2 percent in December 2010 compared to December 2009.

Nationally, only five states had positive home price appreciations when including distressed sales figures: West Virginia (+5.5 percent), North Dakota (+3.3 percent), New York (+1.9 percent), Hawaii (+0.7 percent) and Wyoming (+0.2 percent). Pennsylvania ranked 13th nationally, falling 3.1 percent.

Cumulus wants to buy Citadel’s radio stations Staff and wire reports

Cumulus Media Inc. is buying Citadel Broadcasting Corp. in a $1.7 billion deal that would unite two of the nation’s largest radio station owners.

Citadel owns five Plains Township-based stations, including Top 40 station 97 BHT, oldies AM station 590 WARM, country station JR 93.7, alternative rocker 97.9 X and lightrock formatted Magic 93.

Atlanta-based Cumulus would own 572 radio stations across about 120 U.S. markets once the deal announced Thursday closes. It will remain the No. 2 radio station owner in the U.S. behind Clear Channel, which owns more than 800 stations.

The nearest market with a Cumulus-owned station would be Harrisburg where it oper-

Citadel Broadcasting operates five radio stations from its offices off Baltimore Drive in Plains Township. Cumulus Media, of Atlanta, agreed to buy Las Vegas-based Citadel on Thursday in a cash and stock deal.

ates five stations including Wink 104, Hot 92 and 1400 ESPN Sports.

The deal represents a bet that the radio advertising market will continue rebounding.

Like other media, radio broadcasters were hard hit in 2008 and 2009 as the recession cur-

tailed the ad spending that generates most of their revenue.

An advertising shift to the Internet also siphoned money away from radio stations.

But the outlook has been improving modestly as the recovering economy has encouraged advertisers to increase

their marketing budgets.

Cumulus said on Thursday it is paying $37 per share in cash and stock for Citadel, which owns 225 radio stations in more than 50 markets. Las Vegas-based Citadel had previously rejected a $31 a share offer from Cumulus.

Cumulus said the enterprise value of the deal, including assumed debt, is about $2.4 billion.

The company said it has obtained equity financing commitments for up to $500 million from Crestview Partners and Macquarie Capital. Cumulus also received debt financing commitments of about $3 billion from a group of banks.

The $1.7 billion value is based on Citadel’s 46.8 million outstanding shares. Citadel said there is $1.4 billion of cash available for the deal, along

with about 151 million Cumulus Class A shares. If all Citadel shareholders choose to receive cash, then each Citadel share would be prorated to $30 in cash and 1.613 shares of Cumulus. Citadel said this implies a total value of $38.23 per share, based on Cumulus’ closing stock price on Wednesday. If all shareholders decide to get shares instead, then the implied value would be $39.45 on the same basis.

The deal must still be approved by Citadel shareholders and regulators. It is expected to close by the end of this year.

There was no indication Thursday how any sale would impact local stations, staffing or programming. A message seeking comment from Citadel’s local market manager, Bill Palmeri, was not immediately returned.

Supermarket chains have lost customers to Wal-Mart and warehouse clubs like Costco. Supervalu has been hit particularly hard. It has also tried to absorb higher food prices rather than pass them along to shoppers. Its revenue is down and it’s losing money.

For companies like Dean Foods and Supervalu, it’s as if the market’s two-year rally never happened. The S&P 500 is up 91 percent since the market hit its low March 9, 2009. But 13 companies in the S&P 500 have fallen. Some of the bad apples:

Thursday close: $42.06 P/E ratio: 12

The government has threatened to withhold financial aid from for-profit schools, which have high student default rates. Apollo, one of the largest, has been investigated for its recruiting practices and the way it accounts for revenue. It warned last fall that its University of Phoenix expected 40 percent fewer students to enroll in the first quarter.

Last year, 17 percent of Block’s customers took out loans. The stock has recovered 33 percent this year, but it’s still one of S&P 500’s worst performers.

The homebuilding industry is still in a recession and isn’t expected to recover for several years. Pulte has lost money for more than three years as high unemployment and the availability of millions of foreclosed homes cut into demand for new homes.

The Smithfield Foods SFD H&R Block Close: $22.38 -0.37 or -1.6% Rising demand for pork and strong exports lifted the meat maker’s third-quarter profit, typically the weakest for hog production. $24
