Luzerne County Manager
Robert Lawton reconsidered a
prison union concession
Thursday to reduce correction-
al system layoffs from 15 to 10,
but attempts to renegotiate a
deal fell
through.
Five newer
prison union
members
were laid off
last week, and
the remaining
10 stop work
today.
Lawton and other adminis-
trators met with prison offi-
cials for about two hours
Thursday morning discussing
the matter, and Lawtons team
came up with a proposal and
presented it to union leaders,
said county Human Resources
Director Andy Check.
The union agreed to give up
3 percent raises for the rest of
the year and not reclaim the
pay hike in future years.
However, Check said union
leaders rejected the countys
proposal because it eliminated
a union clause forcing the
county to repay the raises ret-
roactively for all employees if
there is an alleged violation of
the agreement.
Check said a grievance pro-
cedure to rectify contract dis-
agreements is already part of
the union contract.
When unions win grievanc-
es, the county is typically re-
quired to pay a specific dollar
amount to an impacted em-
ployee. The clause demanded

Elections officials in several
states are concerned that the
closing of mail-processing cen-
ters and post offices could dis-
rupt vote-by-mail balloting this
year, a potential problem that
has led some members of Con-
gress to call for a delay until af-
ter the November elections.
The U.S. Postal Service re-
cently announced that it is mov-
ing ahead with plans to close at
least 223 processing centers, in-
cluding the one in Scranton, and
thousands of post offices, adding
to the 153 centers and 965 post
offices that have closed since
2008. The moves are part of a
wide-ranging cost-cutting strate-
gy for an agency that estimates it
will lose up to $18 billion a year
by 2015.
Voting officials are raising a
variety of concerns, depending
on the circumstances in their
states. Meanwhile, postal cus-
tomers have security concerns
about leaving ballots in their
mail boxes to be picked up by
postal carriers.
In California and Arizona, offi-
cials say the closing of process-
ing centers could delay the deliv-
ery of mail-in ballots beyond the
deadline to have them counted.
The state registrar in Ohio
wrote the postmaster general
with concerns about ensuring
the security of ballots sent to
processing centers that will be
across state lines.
And in Oregon, the first state
to require vote-by-mail, the state
registrar says voters in rural ar-
eas where post offices are sched-
uled to be closed may have no-
where nearby to drop off their
ballots. That would be especially
problematic for those who have
become accustomed to mailing
them on the final weekend.
We just have to have a mora-
torium through this presidential
year to avoid disastrous conse-
quences, said California Secre-
tary of State Debra Bowen, who
wrote a letter last week to the
U.S. postmaster general urging a
halt to the closures until after
the November election. Im ask-
ing for a time-out.
The Postal Service has said
the next round of facilities wont
close until August, and it would
then halt the process temporari-
ly at the end of the month to
minimize disruptions ahead of
the general election.
The agency might begin its
closures in states that already
have held their primaries, Postal
Service spokeswoman Patricia
Licata said. She acknowledged
that the consolidation will lead
to longer delivery
times but dismissed
concerns that it
could disenfranchise
voters.
We realize that
election mail is vital
to the country, and
we dont want to do
anything to disrupt
that, she said.
Mindful of the
concerns back home,
some members of
Congress say they
plan to ask for anoth-
er delay, after the Postal Service
agreed last year to a five-month
moratorium on the closures that
ends in mid-May.
According to the Postal Ser-
vice, once the moratorium lifts,
the earliest a mail processing
center could close would be Au-
gust, partly because the mail
agency must work to reassign
employees. The first mail proc-
essing centers to be affected,
which are yet to be determined,
would be a handful of places in-
volving the least difficulty in
transferring employees.
Montana Sen. Jon Tester, a
Democrat who sits on the com-
mittee that oversees the agency,
is working to minimize the ef-
fects of the cuts. Oregon Sen.
Ron Wyden said he plans to file
an amendment seeking to delay
the closures until after the presi-
dential election. He said they
would disproportionately affect
rural voters.
Closing these facilities car-
ries many unintended conse-
quences, Wyden, a Democrat,
said in a statement last week. It
is not a risk worth taking.
Congress is ex-
pected to take up
the overhaul of the
Postal Service in
the coming weeks.
Postal closures
are unpopular with
constituents, but
spokeswoman
Shannan Velayas
said Californias
secretary of state
Bowen is con-
cerned only with
the integrity of
elections and that
her letter to the postmaster gen-
eral was not politically motiva-
ted.
While voting by mail has been
mandatory in Oregon since
2000, it is growing nationwide.
One in five voters cast ballots
by mail in 2010, according to the
U.S. Election Assistance Com-
mission, up from one in eight in
2004. In some states, such as
Washington, ballots must be
merely postmarked by Election
Day to count.
In others, they must be re-
ceived by the time polls close.
The Postal Service changes
worry some voters, who wonder
if their ballots will be delivered
in time or whether they will
have a convenient way to mail
them.
Charles Henze, who has voted
by mail in California since he
first registered, said the cut-
backs have him considering
whether to get off the perma-
nent absentee voter rolls this
year.
Henze, 46, likes to wait until
the last minute to cast his vote.
Now that he may have to mail
his ballot sooner, he is leaning
toward voting in person at his
polling place in the eastern San
Francisco Bay area city of Pleas-
anton.
With primaries in particular,
by the time you get to voting,
the situation can have changed,
he said.
Its a somewhat different con-
cern for Nancy Bowers, who
lives on a farm outside Fort
Rock, Ore., where the post office
is under review for closure. She
is worried there will not be a
drop-box close enough to make
voting convenient.
If they make us go some-
where else, some people may
have to drive 50 miles, said
Bowers, 65. Theyll consider
not voting. A lot of people will.
Fort Rock, about 60 miles
south of Bend in central Oregon,
is nine miles from Bowers farm.
She said if the post office closes,
she would have to drive at least
20 miles to drop off a ballot. For
the November general election,
that could mean driving in snow.
Oregon Secretary of State
Kate Brown is considering ask-
ing county registrars to establish
more ballot drop-boxes at librar-
ies and other public buildings,
including shuttered post offices.
Some in Congress want postal service action delayed until after November

HARRISBURG The
speaker of the Pennsylvania
House said Thursday he
would schedule special elec-
tions to fill six vacancies, but
was sharply critical of the
state Supreme Court order
that mandated the action.
Speaker Sam Smith, R-Jef-
ferson, accused the high
court of a veiled agenda
that had increased its power
at the expense of the Legisla-
ture.
Smith had resisted calling
the elections for the four
Democratic and two Repub-
lican districts because new
district maps for the House
and Senate, based on the
2010 census, were invali-
dated by the Supreme Court
last month.
The high court voted 4-3
on Wednesday to require
Smith to schedule those va-
cancies to be filled April 24,
along with the spring pri-
mary election.
In the face of an over-reac-
hing court, my refusal to call
these six special elections
will only insure a constitu-
tional crisis not of my mak-
ing, Smith said in a two-
page news release that began
with a 1788 quote from the
Federalist Papers.
Let me be clear, the
courts majority has rewrit-
ten the constitution, ignored
the clear intention of the law
to exercise its own will and
advanced its own veiled
agenda at the expense of
thousands of citizens of the
commonwealth, Smithsaid.
Four of the districts were
held most recently by Demo-
crats, two by Republicans.
All six relinquished their
House seats after beingelect-
ed to other offices in Novem-
ber.

tionment Commission, is

Judge rules on Kulick
A federal judge on Thursday found
probable cause to have a supervised
release revocation hearing for former
mob associate Robert Kulick and or-
dered that he be detained until he can
be transferred to an
in-patient treatment
facility.
U.S. Magistrate
Judge Thomas M.
Blewitt specified that
Kulick would remain
at the in-patient facil-
ity until medically
discharged and then
enter an outpatient treatment facility
until medically discharged.
Federal prosecutors are seeking to
revoke Kulicks supervised release
based on his alleged use of alcohol that
led to his arrest on charges of violating
a protection from abuse order his wife
had obtained.
Kulick pleaded guilty in September
2009 to being a felon in possession of a
firearm. He was released from prison in
March 2011 after serving 17 months.
He was also ordered to serve two years
on supervised release.

Garrett as the man who pulled
the trigger after the two broth-

One year after a funding agreement
expired for a low-cost health insurance
planfor the workingpoor, healthcare ad-
vocates and state Senate Democrats are
calling for its return.
More than half of the more than
40,000 people who were subscribers to
adultBasic about 1,000 in Luzerne
County are now presumed to be unin-
sured, according to the Pennsylvania
HealthAccess Network, a coalitionof or-
ganizations advocating for affordable
healthcare that hosted a media tele-con-
ference on the issue on Wednesday.
Sharon Ward, director of the Pennsyl-
vania Budget and Policy Center, a mem-
ber organization of the network, said
that before the
states agreement
with the four non-
profit Blue Cross
companies to fund
the program ex-
pired, the state De-
partment of Insur-
ance expected up
to 25 percent of
subscribers to
qualify for Medical
Assistance and en-
couraged those
who werent eligi-
ble to sign up for
the Blues Special
Care health insur-
ance program, as
suggested by Gov.
Tom Corbett.
According to the insurance depart-
ment, only about 3.7 percent qualified
for Medical Assistance and less than 40
percent signed up for Special Care,
which costs about four times more than
adultBasic, which cost $36 monthly.

Coalition President Charlotte
Raup with spotting the sus-
pect, identified as 17-year-old
Anthony Walsh, inside the
Turkey Hill on East Main
Street hours after the attempt-
ed heists on Feb. 18.
Walsh, last known address
as Hutson Street, was ar-
raigned Thursday by District
Judge Martin Kane on two
counts each of robbery, reck-
less endangerment and simple
assault.
He was jailed at the Lu-
zerne County Correctional Fa-
cility for lack of $20,000 bail.
According to the criminal
complaints:
Raup spotted a man match-
ing the description of the gun-
man in the Turkey Hill.
Raup used a cellphone to
take pictures of him and noti-
fied police.
At the time, police were in-
vestigating the attempted rob-
beries at Appliance Parts on
George Avenue at 12:34 p.m.
and Leonards Market on Ka-
do Street at 1:05 p.m. on Feb.
18.
Police allege Walsh came in-
to Appliance Parts and asked
to use the phone. He left and
returned a short time later,
aiming a handgun at an em-
ployee, who screamed to an-
other person to call 911.
Walsh fled the building.
Police said in the complaint
Walsh then went into the mar-
ket and asked about a job.
He brandished a handgun,
demanded money and banged
on a register, the complaint
says.

For many people in West Pittston,
the short-term goal after the Septem-
ber flooding was cleaning up and re-
pairingtheir damagedhomes andbusi-
nesses.
Withmuchof the workcompletedor
under way, a new initiative called
West Pittston Tomorrow will con-
centrate onlong-termefforts torebuild
and remake the riverfront community.
A town meeting is scheduled for 7
p.m. Monday in the cafeteria of Wyom-
ing Area High School in Exeter.
All borough residents are invited to
attend the meeting, not just those af-
fected by the record flooding of the
Susquehanna River on Sept. 9.
Tom Blaskiewicz, a member of the
outreach committee for the recovery,
said he is among those whose houses
were spared in the flooding.
He compared the borough to the
idyllic Plasticville village with a big
white church, library, car repair garage
andhouses he sets up under his Christ-
mas tree during the holidays.
West Pittston has so many jewels, he
said, Theyre worth coming to the ta-
ble to try and save them.
Judy Aita, meeting chairwoman, en-
couragedpeople to turnout andpartic-
ipate.
It may seem bizarre to use the
words flood and opportunity in the
same sentence after the personal and
financial losses weve suffered, but the
attention weve received does provide
us an opportunity to rebuild better
than ever, said Aita in a press release
announcing the meeting.
The Federal Emergency Manage-
ment Agency will assist the borough
with the visioning project. The agency,
which is providing similar assistance
to flood-damaged Shickshinny, will
identify county, state, federal and pri-
vate agencies to help with the project.
The topics of housing, business de-
velopment, natural and cultural re-
sources, infrastructure and mitigation
and public safety will be discussed at
the meeting next week. Residents will
have the opportunity to join six com-
mittees and use ideas and information
developed during the session to draw
up a plan for the boroughs future.
Community has eye on future
New initiative, West Pittston
Tomorrow, will concentrate on
rebuilding, remaking borough.

Syrian rebels withdraw
A
fter a punishing, monthlong mil-
itary siege, Syrian rebels made
what they called a tactical retreat
Thursday from a key district in Homs,
saying they were running low on weap-
ons and the humanitarian conditions
were unbearable.
Within hours of the rebels withdraw-
al, President Bashar Assads regime
granted permission for the Internation-
al Committee of the Red Cross to enter
the neighborhood of Baba Amr, which
had become a symbol of the resistance.
Also Thursday, Syrias main opposi-
tion group, the Syrian National Coun-
cil, formed a military bureau to help
organize the armed resistance and
funnel weapons to rebels.

Capital charge for grandma
A woman accused of running her
9-year-old granddaughter to death as
punishment for eating chocolate was
captured on a school bus videotape
saying she planned to run the child
til she cant run no more, a prosecu-
tor told a judge Thursday in announc-
ing capital murder charges.
Joyce Hardin Garrard, who faces a
potential death penalty if convicted,
made the threat as she yanked Savan-
nah Hardin off a school bus that was
equipped with a surveillance system,
said Marcus Reid, an assistant district
attorney in Etowah County.
Garrard, 46, and Savannahs step-
mother, 27-year-old Jessica Mae Har-
din, are both charged in the childs
death last month. Authorities say the
older woman made the child run for
three hours as punishment.

Court ends pipeline halt
A federal court has lifted an order
that briefly halted construction and
tree clearing on a natural gas pipeline
in northern Pennsylvanias Endless
Mountains.
The ruling from a three-judge panel
of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Ap-
peals means that work on the 39-mile
MARC1 pipeline can resume. An indi-
vidual appeals court judge had grant
pipeline opponents a temporary stay in
mid-February.
Some landowners say Central New
York Oil & Gas refused to negotiate in
good faith on either monetary compen-
sation or the pipelines route.
The company says it has reached
agreement with the vast majority of
landowners.

Tea party steamed with IRS
The Internal Revenue Service is
embroiled in battles with tea party and
other conservative groups who claim
the government is purposely frustrat-
ing their attempts to gain tax-exempt
status.
The fight features instances in which
the IRS has asked for voluminous de-
tails about the groups postings on
social networking sites like Twitter and
Facebook, information on donors and
key members relatives, and copies of
all literature they have distributed to
their members, according to docu-
ments provided by some organizations.
Over the years, the IRS has period-
ically been accused of political vendet-
tas by liberals and conservatives alike,
usually without merit, tax experts say.

Cuban cigar sales smokin hot
A worker organizes cigars by color in
Cohibas cigar factory Thursday dur-
ing a press tour as part of the annual
Cigar Festival in Havana, Cuba. Sales
of Cubas famed cigars are hot, de-
spite continued recession fears in
Europe, and a U.S. embargo that bars
American aficionados from legally
lighting up. While Europe remains the
top market for such signature Cuban
brands as Cohiba, Montecristo and
Romeo y Julieta, sales in Asian na-
tions including China are growing
rapidly.
CHARDON, Ohio A teenager was
charged Thursday with killing three
students in a school shooting, the first
step in proceedings that could see him
charged as an adult and facing the pos-
sibility of life without parole if convict-
ed.
The charges filed in Geauga County
juvenile court accuse T.J. Lane, 17, of
killing three students and wounding
two others in the shooting Monday
morning at Chardon High School,
about 30 miles east of Cleveland.
He is charged with three counts of
aggravated murder, two counts of at-
tempted aggravated murder and one
count of felonious assault.
Students say the gunman was chased
from a cafeteria by an assistant football
coach, Frank Hall, who has been
praised as a hero. Hall spoke shortly
after the charges were filed and said he
wants the victims families to know he
was with their children and wiped
away their tears.
I dont know why this happened,
he said. I only wish I could have done
more. Im not a hero. Im just a football
coach and a study hall teacher. The
emergency responders at the scene
were the real heroes, he said.
No motive has been determined.
Prosecutor David Joyce has said that
victims were selected at random and
that Lane is someone whos not well.
Lanes attorney, Robert Farinacci,
couldnt immediately be reached for
comment on the charges. A message
was left at his office.
Children convicted of juvenile
crimes in Ohio are typically behind
bars only until they turn 21 in the most
serious cases. But Joyce has already
said he plans to charge Lane as an
adult, meaning he could face life in
prison without parole if convicted of
similar adult charges.
Minors are not eligible for the death
penalty in Ohio, whether they are con-
victed as juveniles or adults.
Lane, who attends an alternative
school for students who havent done
well in traditional schools, admitted
taking a .22-caliber pistol and a knife to
Chardon High and firing 10 shots at a
group of students sitting at a cafeteria
table Monday morning, Joyce said.
Killed were Demetrius Hewlin, 16,
Russell King Jr., 17, and Daniel Parmer-
tor, 16.

KABUL, Afghanistan Two
U.S. troops were gunneddownby
two Afghan soldiers and an ac-
complice Thursday, the latest of
six American service members
killed by their Afghan partners
since the burning of Muslimholy
books at a U.S. base last week
sent anti-Americanismsoaring in
a nation that has long distrusted
foreigners.
The killings come at a time
when international troops have
stepped up training and mentor-
ing of Afghan soldiers, police and
government workers so the Af-
ghans can take the lead and the
foreign forces go home. Success
of the partnership, the focus of
the U.S.-ledcoalitions exit strate-
gy, is threatened by a rising num-
ber of Afghan police and soldiers
or militants disguised in their
uniforms who are turning
their guns on their foreign allies.
The latest victims were killed
on a joint U.S.-Afghan base in
Zhari district of southern Kanda-
har province by two Afghan sol-
diers and Afghan civilian literacy
instructor who fired from a sen-
try tower, according to U.S. and
Afghan officials. NATO forces
shot and killed two of the assai-
lants, apparently the soldiers,
said Pentagon press secretary
George Little.
On Feb. 25, two U.S. military
advisers were found dead with
shots to the back of the head in-
side the Afghan Interior Ministry

killed Feb. 23 by an Afghan sol-
dier during an anti-Western pro-
test over the Quran burning.

ATLANTA Republican presi-
dential candidate Rick Santorum
said Thursday that Mitt Romneys
initial reaction to a question about
a contraception measure in the
U.S. Senate shows hes not conser-
vative at the core.
At a campaign rally Thursday in
Atlanta, Santorum
said Romneys gut
reaction should
have been to support
the bill by Sen. Roy
Blunt of Missouri,
who is backing Romneys bid to be-
come the GOPs presidential nomi-
nee. Critics said the measure
would have limited insurance cov-
erage of birthcontrol. It was defeat-
ed Thursday in the Senate.
On Wednesday, Romney told
one interviewer that he opposed
the measure, then reversed himself
hours later in a subsequent inter-
view, saying he misunderstood the
question.
Santorum said Romney only
changed positions after speaking
with his campaign consultants.
Santorum also said voters deserve
a GOP candidate like him, some-
one who at the core believes in
conservative issues and wont put
them on the back burner.
Romney spokeswoman Andrea
Saul challenged Santorums claim
of beinga core conservative, saying
his gut reaction is to take one for
the team insteadof standingupfor
what he says he believes in.

his mothers wallet, which the

If another twister hit the

On a personal level, I think

City of Wilkes-Barre
The City of Wilkes-Barre is an
Equal Opportunity/Afrmative Action Employer
of the charges.
I still proclaim my inno-
cence, Isiah Garrett said, not-
ing he was not able to tell his
side of the story. I did not com-
mit this crime.
Isiah Garretts attorney, Rob-
ert Mozenter, of Philadelphia,
said he will file post-sentence
motions on behalf of his client.
Those requests must be raised
before an appeal to a higher
court can be filed.
Izel Garrett did not speak be-
fore being sentenced, but his at-
torney Brian Corcoran spoke on
his behalf.
Corcoran told the judge his
client suffers from dyslexia, at-
tention deficient hyperactivity
disorder and bi-polar disorder.
Shabazzs mother, Sheila
Stansbury, said Thursday she
feels sorry for the Garretts
mother, and it was hard for her
to speak.
Her son had three children,
Stansbury said, who will now go
on with their lives not knowing
their father.
Stansbury thanked investiga-
tors for their work in capturing
and prosecuting her sons killers
A third man charged in the
shooting, Tyrek Smith, is sched-
uled to be sentenced on a relat-
ed robbery charge today.
Smith, 25, of Harrisburg, faces
a maximum of 20 years in pris-
on.
During their December trial,
the Garretts defense attorneys
accused Smith of being the
shooter, claiming he has made
up several stories about the
shooting and that the bullet that
killed Shabazz came from the di-
rection Smith was standing.
A moment in time can
change a persons life forever,
said Assistant District Attorney
Frank McCabe, who prosecuted
the case with fellow ADA Jill
Matthews Lada.
I think its a reflection of so-
ciety. People settle their differ-
ences with guns to show pow-
er. (The Garretts) had an oppor-
tunity to let (Shabazz) go
they chose to shoot him.
McCabe acknowledged Sha-
bazz was engaged in question-
able activity, but that no one de-
serves to die the way he did.
Every choice we make has a
consequence, Polachek Gartley
told the brothers. (That was) a
wasted night that will cost you
life in prison.

State Sen. John Blake, D-

Sen. Mike Stack, Democratic
chairman of the Senate Bank-
ing and Insurance Committee,
and senators Judy Schwank and
Lisa Boscola at a press confer-

call for a revival of adultBasic.
Stack suggested using tobac-
co settlement money to fund
the program, as was done previ-
ous years.
Blake, former chairman of
the Tobacco Settlement Invest-
ment Board, agreed. These re-
sources could have been avail-
able. The ending of adultBas-
ic does not improve the quality
of life of Pennsylvanians and it
could have been avoided, he
said.

attackonAllen. YansyAbreuof WyomingStreet,
Wilkes-Barre, is beingheldintheLuzerneCoun-
ty Correctional Facility for lack of $250,000 bail.
At his arraignment, Abreu said he was from
the Dominican Republic and moved to the area
about a year ago. He was enrolledat the Alterna-
tive LearningCenter inPlains Townshipbut did
not attendclasses.
In arrest papers filed against Abreu, police
said: Abreu and his mother went to police head-
quarters the night of the attack. He told police a
male he knewonly as Juancito jumpedout of a
vanandstruckthevictimwithamachete. Theat-
tacker was aDominicanwholivedinNewJersey
withhis wifeandchild, andalsohada sister who
attendedGAR.
But inthearrest papers, awitnesstotheattack
contradicted Abreus statement, saying Abreu
had book bag with a knife with black handle
sticking out of it. The witness said Abreu ap-
peared upset because Borbon took the book bag
and chased after a group of black youths on Le-
high Street. As Allen tried to help one of the
youths Borboncame frombehindandstruck his
wrist. AllenrantoanearbypolicecarandBorbon

WRIGHT TWP. The
Pennsylvania Fish and Boat
Commission hopes to talk to
Luzerne County officials
about possible options to
keep Moon Lake Park open
for the upcoming trout sea-
son.
This week it was learned
that the county will be clos-
ing the park during the week,
effective this weekend, due
to a lack of county security
workers. The park will be
open on Saturday and Sun-
days from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
That may not be enough to
justify stocking the lake with
trout. The commission has
three trout stockings sched-
uled for Moon Lake this sea-
son a preseason release on
April 5 followed by two in-
season stockings April 28
and May 5.
During a public meeting
with commission officials on
Thursday at Crestwood High
School, Executive Director
John Arway said that when a
waterway is removed from
the stocking schedule, the
agency tries to find another
locationnearby torelease the
trout that is open to public
fishing.
With trout season a little
more than a month away,
such a move might be diffi-
cult, Arway said.
This is goingtobe a tough
one to adjust, he said. We
just found out about it today,
and wed like to work with
the county to discuss some
options to keep Moon Lake
open for fishing.
State Rep. Gerald Mullery,
who organized Thursdays
meeting, said if the lake cant
be stockedhedlike to see the
trout that were allocated for
MoonLakebereleasedsome-
where else in the county.
The ultimate solution,
Mullery said, would be to
have a private entity take
over the park and keep it
openwithall of theservices it
used to provide.
Kingston resident Norm
Gavlick, who is a fish and
boat commissioner repre-
senting the northeast region,
suggested the county turn
the lake over to the commis-
sion and let them the agency
manage it.
If the agency isnt able to
stock Moon Lake this year,
Arway said it will result in a
financial loss to the area.
The anglers that use the
lake bring a lot of money to
the local communities, he
said. Im sure the county
doesnt want to lose that eco-
nomic value the lake has as a
stocked trout water.
Approximately 50 people
attended the meeting and
questioned Mullery and the
commission officials on a va-
riety of topics, including the
impacts last Septembers
flood had on the river and
streams, Marcellus shale
drilling, fishing license sales,
invasive weeds in area lakes
and access for boaters on the
river.
Mullery held a similar pub-
lic forumwith the Pennsylva-
nia Game Commission last
October and he hopes to con-
tinue to holdtwo meetings in
the area each year to give
hunters, anglers and boaters
an opportunity to pose ques-
tions and concerns directly
to agency officials.
I serve on four commit-
tees, including the House Game
and Fisheries Committee, and
my staff receives more inquiries
on game and fish issues than the
other three committees com-
bined, Mullery said. We found
these meetings to be an over-
whelming success and some-
thing that will grow every year.

Go to donate blood this month
andyoucouldwinaweek-longva-
cation to South Carolina and
$500 to spend there.
Hoping to draw attention to
National Red Cross Month and
the need for blood donations, the
American Red Cross Blood Ser-
vices Northeastern Pennsylvania
Region is offering an eight-day/
seven night getaway and a $500
VISA gift card courtesy of Sun-
dance Travel to anyone who at-
tends a blood drive or shows up
at a collection center to donate.
Even if no blood is drawn, the
goodintentionis rewardedwitha
chance towin, saidShannonLud-
wig, communications manager
for the American Red Cross
Blood Services Northeastern
Pennsylvania Region.
Depending on which vacation
the winner chooses, he or she can
visit Myrtle Beach or Hilton
Head and possibly bring up to
five guests, Ludwig said.
Ludwig and Donna M. Morris-
sey, director of communications
for the Northeast Division of
American Red Cross Blood Ser-
vices, met withTimes Leader edi-
torial staff recently to discuss the
Red Cross mission, what the or-
ganization has to offer and what
its needs are.
Addressing Geisingers an-
nouncement in December that
the health system would switch
to Pittsburgh-based ITxM for its
blood and platelets, Morrissey
said the Red Cross works well in
communities that are supported
by multiple blood donation orga-
nizations.
Its important to note that we
operate a rare blood inventory
24 hours a day. So whether youre
a hospital that we send blood to
daily or someone who calls us in
the middle of the night and
says, We have a need for a rare
blood type, were on call and
available to respond, she said.
The Geisinger organization is
entrenched in this community,
and we will remain available to
provide themany blood products
they may need going forward be-
cause thats part of our mission,
andwe wishthemwell, she said.
Anddespitethefurloughof five
full-time and 21 part-time em-
ployees at the bloodservices tele-
recruitment center in Hanover
Township in August, Morrissey
said the Red Cross also is com-
mitted to the region.
Consolidation into a central-
ized call center affected the local
center and others in Massachu-
setts, Connecticut and northern
New England as well.
We did it because it made
good business sense. We were
able to maximize on the efficien-
cy, Morrissey said. As a non-
profit, its even more important,
especially in this economic envi-
ronment that we are good stew-
ards of the dollar and that we are
operating in the best way possi-
ble.
Morrissey noted Red Cross
Blood Services continues to em-
ploy a host of local folks who
help us set up blood drives, man-
ufacture blood products and dis-
tribute them. We are a fabric of
the community. Weve been here
for a long time, we intend to con-
tinue tooperate andwe believe in
neighbor helping neighbor.
She noted the organization
needs tocollect 341units of blood
here daily, and 3,000 units across
27counties intheNortheast Divi-
sion. Its a daily need because
theres ashelf lifeonbloodandwe
have to constantly replenish it.
We also face challenges
some of our World War II-aged
veterans, who are some of our
most loyal donors, are becoming
recipients. When you have other
issues, whether its the onset of
the flu season or the flooding you
faced last fall, these things can
impact our ability to collect,
Morrissey said.

Cleaning up after W-B fire
DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER
An excavator scoops up debris after a contractor razed a house on East Main Street in Wilkes-Barre that was heavily
damaged in an accidental fire on Dec. 30. Joe Pradel of Stell Enterprises Inc. is seen cleaning up debris on Tuesday.
WILKES-BARRE A Ha-
zleton man charged with
raping an unconscious 16-
year-old girl was sentenced
Thursday to four to eight
years in state prison.
Izrael Nazario, 30, of West
3rd Street, was sentenced on
a charge of rape of an un-
conscious victim by County
Senior Judge Hugh Mundy.
Nazario pleaded guilty to the
charge in December, but
changed his plea to no contest
Thursday.
Nazario must register his
address under Megans Law
for his entire life and must
attend counseling.
According to court papers,
in July, a 16-year-old girl re-
ported to police she had been
raped by Nazario while she
was unconscious and unaware
Nazario was having sexual
intercourse with her.
WILKES-BARRE Prose-
cutors in the case of an 18-
year-old charged in the shoot-
ing death of his great-grandfa-
ther have asked a judge to
reconsider a previous ruling,
and allow a psychiatrist to
testify in the case if called.
Assistant District Attorneys
Michael Melnick, Shannon
Crake and Mamie Phillips,
said in court papers they
would like a judge to recon-
sider a ruling that barred
John OBrien from testifying
at Cody Lees court hearings
because he reviewed sup-
pressed statements.
The prosecutors say they
will only use OBrien if a
defense expert, Richard Fisch-
bein, also testifies. Lee is
charged in the December
2009 shooting death of his
great-grandfather, 80-year-old
Herbert Lee.
Lee is scheduled for a hear-
ing on whether his case
should be heard in juvenile
court on May 29.
WILKES-BARRE A Ply-
mouth man scheduled to
stand trial next week on
charges he neglected and
sexually abused a 13-year-old
boy over a several-year period
asked that his trial be contin-
ued.
Judge Tina Polachek Gar-
tley granted the request of
Robert Caravella, 52, on
Thursday, scheduling his trial
to begin on April 23.
Caravella and Carol Ann
Hann, 44, were charged in
August 2010.
The boy alleged at an Au-
gust preliminary hearing that
Caravella introduced him to
pornography when the boy
was 8 years old, and shortly
thereafter Hann began forcing
him to perform lewd sex acts
on her. If the boy did not
perform well, he stated, Cara-
vella would "coach" him. The
two face charges of rape, child
endangerment and corruption
of minors.

WILKES-BARRE A man
registered as a lifetime Megans
Law offender was arraigned
Thursday on charges he failed
to register his address with au-
thorities.
Michael Moses Durant, 49,
last known address Davis Place,
Wilkes-Barre, was charged with
four counts of failure to comply
with registration requirements
as a lifetime sexual offender. He
was arraigned by District Judge
Rick Cronauer and jailed at the
Luzerne County Correctional
Facility for lack of $10,000 bail.
Plymouth police arrested Du-
rant on Feb. 14 on evidence of
drunken driv-
ing.
It was during
processing by
Plymouth po-
lice that Du-
rant was found
in alleged vio-
lation of regis-
tering his address.
Durant was convicted of rape
in June 2001 in Philadelphia
County, according to the state
police Megans Law website. He
was released from state prison
in June.
According to the criminal
complaint by state police at
Wyoming:
Plymouth officer John Van-
derlick arrested Durant on evi-
dence of drunken driving on
West Shawnee Avenue and
learned Durant was a Megans
Law registrant showing an ad-
dress as a homeless transient in
Philadelphia.
When Du-
rant was arrest-
ed on the al-
leged drunken
driving case,
he produced a
drivers license
showing his
residence as
Davis Place,
the complaint
says.
Durant told
state police he
traveled from
Philadelphia to
Wilkes-Barre in July and was
kicked out of the Davis Place
building due to drinking. While
in the area, he obtained work
through an employment agency,
according to the complaint.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled on March 7 in
Wilkes-Barre Central Court.

Writer questions merger
of med school, university
T
he people of Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia need to respond publicly to secret
negotiations between The Common-
wealth Medical College and the University
of Scranton regarding a future affiliation/
merger. Sensible connections between
medical providers and educators certainly
can be beneficial, but the imposition of
Catholic dogma on the policies of a public
medical school would not be beneficial for
the majority of our residents.
More than 51 percent of state residents
are women. Catholic doctrine specifically
prohibits providing women with a full
range of reproductive health care, even for
victims of rape. More than 15 percent of
state residents are 65 or older. Catholic
doctrine specifically limits the range of
options available for end-of-life-care. About
47 percent of state residents are not Ca-
tholic. These residents could find that the
health care available to them in Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania would incorporate doctri-
nally determined policies to which they
may or may not subscribe.
Why is secrecy necessary? Our tax dol-
lars fund the medical school. We all know
that these are difficult economic times; but
why not seek affiliation/merger with a
secular institution, such as Geisinger
Health System, nationally recognized for
the quality of its care and its success at
cost management?
Make no mistake; these meetings be-
tween TCMC and the University of Scran-
ton could have a profound effect on the
medical care available in this region. If the
residents of Northeastern Pennsylvania
wish to live by the health care mandates of
the Catholic Church, then all will be well.
But if there are those people who wish
not be have their health care options deter-
mined by Catholic doctrine, then it is our
responsibility to speak up and support
alternative approaches to funding the
medical college, a truly invaluable resource
for our region.

Reader believes Obama
has no regard for voters
A
lthough Im encouraged that the
church has temporarily stopped turn-
ing the other cheek in regard to being
forced to be part of Obamacare, my feel-
ings about being made into a slave to
King Obama are just as strong and pure.
The Constitution spoke about God-given
rights! For Obama and his leftist comrades
to think that they can dismantle the Con-
stitution without cries of outrage from
many sectors of our population clearly
demonstrates just how little he thinks
about us.
But then again, his parents seemingly
had little love for this country either; and
they say that coconuts dont fall too far
from the tree.

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 2012 PAGE 11A
THE PERSON who con-
ducts the forensic audit of
bills submitted to Luzerne
County by attorney Angela
Stevens had better find a
Harry Potter-style time
turner. Its hard to imagine
any other explanation for her workdays that
lasted, in some cases, 23 to 46 hours.
If youre not a part of Pottermania, the
time turner allowed wizard-in-training
Hermione Granger to attend two magic
lessons held in separate places at the same
time. Such a gizmo would be one of the few
viable explanations for Stevens bills.
Well, that or Mr. Peabodys WABAC ma-
chine, but that also would require finding a
talking beagle with a penchant for puns
which seems as likely as finding a plausible
explanation for this fiasco.
Reporter Terrie Morgan-Besecker discov-
ered all this after asking a simple question:
How did the county spend $209,000 more
than allotted to assure that parents got
representation when the Children and Youth
agency took away their kids? First, Terrie
looked at total bills from lawyers, and found
Stevens out-billed everybody by a factor of,
oh, lets call it Holy cow! Stevens billed
$144,554 in one year; only one other at-
torney had topped even $30,000.
At $55 an hour, Stevens total bill would
equate to working more than 50 hours a
week every week of 2011 no vacation, no
holidays.
Next, Terrie looked at invoices. Turns out
Stevens was billing for round trips to the
courthouse to deliver and process her bills,
which is legal, though ethically annoying to
many of us who dont work under such
rules. Stevens apparently delivered dozens
of bills in one trip, but billed as though she
had made dozens of separate trips.
Her explanation?
Travel time was included in each bill as a
matter of course. When petitions were
delivered in groups, the final bills should
have been adjusted to reflect a single charge
for delivering all the petitions. Unfortunate-
ly, these adjustments were not made.
Ignore that this unfortunate error cost
taxpayers more than $38,000 for all those
alleged trips. Focus on the mindset you
need to make a bill for work that you havent
done, and to do that as a matter of course.
In three separate days, Stevens billed an
average of 34 minutes for 91 round trips of
2.2 miles across the bridge from her King-
ston office in Riverside Commons to the
county courthouse in Wilkes-Barre.
I took a little stroll. Walking one way from
the courthouse to her office building lasted
all of seven minutes at a casual pace. Which
would have given Stevens 20 minutes to
wend through the courthouse and do what-
ever dropping off or picking up she needed
to do. Presumably, driving would have af-
forded even more time in the courthouse.
Stevens charges for time spent on cases
appear almost as egregious. There are nu-
merous invoices on which she billed for 12
to 23 hours of work in a single day.
Best-case scenario (other than a time
turner or WABAC machine): Stevens is a
hardworking attorney who got caught up in
massive billing errors of her firm. Or she
sloppily drew up bills that reflected accurate
hours but lumped them into a single day for
the sake of expedience.
But this case is so galling because even if
those explanations are true, they are in-
sufficient for obvious reasons.
First, how could a county judicial system
struggling to overcome the stench of a cor-
ruption overlook such glaring over-billing?
Second, Stevens signed documents legally
attesting to the accuracy of the bills. If its
all clerical error, she: a) signed without
actually checking for accuracy, b) signed
knowing they were inaccurate, or c)
couldnt tell the difference.
Any way you look at it, its a mockery of
public trust.

ITH THE deeply
troubling disclo-
sure that Cardinal
Anthony J. Bevi-
lacqua ordered aides to shred a
memo identifying 35 suspect-
ed predator priests, theres no
longer any question that Penn-
sylvania should give victims of
long-ago abuse an avenue to
have their day in court.
Just as two Philadelphia
grand juries concluded, Bevi-
lacquas reported 1994 shred-
ding directive, brought to light
only last week, appears to con-
firm that there was a carefully
orchestrated effort by Archdio-
cese of Philadelphia officials to
shield predators.
Similarly, it has been re-
vealed that Bevilacqua joined
with other Pennsylvania bish-
ops to examine how the dio-
ceses canbetter protect their
secret archives from civil-law
discovery, according to court
records. The cardinal died Jan.
31, on the eve of the sex-abuse
trial of a former church admin-
istrator and two former parish
priests.
Indeed, the conspiracy
charges against Monsignor
William J. Lynn, a top aide to
Bevilacqua, and the counts be-
ing pursued against former
priests James J. Brennan and
EdwardAveryfor allegedlymo-
lesting a boy in the 1990s, are
the exception. But victims
would have another route to
uncover the truth if they could
file lawsuits under so-called
civil-window legislation,
which would relax the states
statute of limitation for a spe-
cific period.
State Rep. Michael McGee-
han, D-Philadelphia, has intro-
duced a bill in Pennsylvania
that mirrors the civil-window
laws in California and Dela-
ware. But Catholic officials
continue to stymie Harris-
burgs efforts to act onthe civil-
window bill, with Philadelphia
Archbishop Charles J. Chaput
among its most vocal andvehe-
ment opponents.

Program.
The school will issue tax-ex-
empt bonds to finance the re-
maining $15 million.
400 attend ceremony
Before the ceremony, more
than 400 people gathered in an
auditorium inside
Stark Learning Center,
which serves as the cur-
rent home for many of
the majors that will
move into the new
building when it opens
in the fall of 2013.
Wilkes President
Tim Gilmour said the
newbuildingis goingto
transformscience edu-
cationat Wilkes andthe
region, opening new
opportunities as an incubator for
biomedical and other types of
cutting-edge research with part-
ners such as The Common-
wealth Medical College and re-
gional health care organizations
like Geisinger Health System
and Community Health Care
Inc.
It will bring state-of-the-art
collaborative learning spaces
that will enhance the already ex-
cellent science education Wilkes
offers and it will increase our
ability to attract the best and
brightest students, said Gil-
mour.
He operated the excavator
used for the groundbreaking and
movedthe first patchof dirt toof-
ficially breakground. He brought
with him the shovel that was
used to break ground for the
Stark Learning Center in 1956.
Appeals to students
Two current Wilkes freshmen
said theyre excited that theyll
be able to take advantage of the
new lab space and modern class-
rooms and were excited for fu-
ture students and research pro-
jects the facility might attract.
Kristen Lapatofsky, a chemis-
try/pre-dental major from Way-
mart, said that while the schools
science programs are top notch,
lab space is crowded.
Kelsea Kleinbauer, a pharma-
ceutical science major fromMay-
field, said that while she was
drawn to the school for the phar-
macy program, she is sure the
new building will strengthen the
sales pitch the school
can make to future stu-
dents.
Brian Whitman,
chairman of the envi-
ronmental engineer-
ing and earth science
department, said that
while equipment cur-
rently used is up to
date and though
Stark Learning Cen-
ter has served us very
well, we need lab facil-
ities that are up to date.
When complete, the building
will be located on South River
Street between Stark Learning
Center and Conyngham Hall. It
will house the departments of
biology and health sciences,
chemistry and biochemistry and
environmental engineering and
earth sciences.
Those departments now share
Stark Learning Center along
with mathematics and computer
science, an art gallery and the
campus television/telecommu-
nications facility.
Well encounter some fences,
some loud noises but it will be
worth it, said William Eggles-
ton, a pharmacy major and stu-
dent government president.
We will sacrifice for the stu-
dents whofollowinour footsteps
so they can achieve greatness.

of a dream.

campaign
garding billing.
Its very difficult to second guess a
lawyers decisions. Its hard to say, You
spent one hour when you should have
only spent a half hour with a client,
Shucosky said.
Questionable charges
The county is seeking an audit based
on a Times Leader investigation that re-
vealed Stevens had repeatedly double
billed the county for delivering fee pet-
itions to the courthouse in 2011. The
newspaper foundStevens chargeda trav-
el fee for eachpetition, eventhoughthey
appeared to have been delivered in one
trip.
The newspapers review also uncov-
ered other questionable billing practic-
es, including excessive hours billed on a
single day and separate fees charged for
taking documents from one office to an-
other in the same building.
For instance, on Oct. 13 Stevens
charged $33 for .6 hours for round-trip
travel from her office picking up a fee
petition from Judge Tina Polachek Gar-
tleys chambers. She charged another
round-trip travel fee of $33 for .6 hours
for delivering it the Clerk of Courts Of-
fice, eventhoughthat office is locatedon
the floor belowPolachek Gartleys in the
courthouse.
Those charges were included on 26
separate invoices, earning her a total fee
of $1,716, according to The Times Lead-
ers review.
Stevens did not respond to an email
seeking comment. Inanemail last week,
she admitted she made billing errors re-
lated to the travel and said she would
rectify the mistakes.
Shucosky said its less clear whether
other types of fees she charged were
within the standard of reasonableness.
Stevens was among 18 attorneys who
were appointed last year to represent
parents whose children were taken from
them by Children and Youth Services.
A Times Leader review of invoices
submitted by Stevens and the other at-
torneys showed wide disparities in the
types of services for which they billed.
Stevens invoices showed she charged
for virtually every moment she spent on
a case. For instance, on Oct. 18 she
charged a $5.50 fee for accepting a
phone call from Polachek Gartleys sec-
retary that advisedher that a court order
was ready to be picked up.
Other bills submitted
Other attorneys also billed for calls,
but only for those that were made to cli-
ents or others directly connected to a
case, such as other attorneys, Children
and Youth officials or counselors.
Stevens also routinely charged sepa-
rate fees to fax identical letters to mul-
tiple people associated with a case. On
May 6, for instance, Stevens charged .10
hours, or $5.50, four times to fax a letter
regarding her appointment to a case to
four different attorneys, netting a total
fee of $22.
None of the other attorneys charged
fees for eachindividual faxor letter sent.
President Judge Thomas Burke said
he expects the forensic audit being
sought by the county will identify those
issues. It will likely be up to court offi-
cials to determine whether those fees
were appropriate, he said.
The main criteria is whether a bill is
inreasonable conformitywithlegal stan-
dards, Burke said. With a forensic au-
dit, I would expect that would be part of
it. If not, there are trained people (in
the courts) who will potentially take a
greater role.
BILLING
Continued from Page 1A
An exemption was made for
churches and other religious or-
ganizations who object on moral
grounds, and whose employees
largely adhere to their beliefs.
Facing blowback from sought-
after Catholic voters, the White
House crafted a further compro-
mise that tasked insurance com-
panies with paying for the free
care.
The American Cancer Socie-
tys Cancer Action Network and
others support the new rule as a
way to ensure Americans have
access to what they call life-sav-
ing preventive health care.
The foray intosocial issues has
divided the GOP at a time when
socially conservative presiden-
tial candidate Rick Santorum
continues to challenge Mitt
Romney.
Many Republicans believe the
party should remain focused on
jobs and the economy, issues
most pressing among voters.
Democrats have capitalizedon
the debate by portraying the
GOP as out-of-touch with most
women and turning back the
clock on womens health care.
The principle mantra of Re-
publicans on the campaign trail
is that they seek more freedom
for the American people, Sen.
Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., said.
With women, the Republicans
have a different idea about free-
dom. They want the government
to interfere in the most personal
aspects of womens lives.
The measure also divided
Democrats, as three Democrats,
Casey, Sen. Joe Manchin of West
Virginia and Sen. Ben Nelson of
Nebraska voted for to keep the
measure. One Republican, retir-
ing Sen. Olympia Snowe of
Maine, joined Democrats in
turning it back.
Some on both sides of the aisle
decried what they considered a
political sideshow. Sen. Michael
Bennet, D-Colo., noted that the
measure was an amendment to a
transportation bill. How is this
conversation relevant to job cre-
ation or to infrastructure? he
asked.
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine,
said she hoped the chamber
would move forward to address
the many important, pressing is-
sues facing in our nation, and
stop engaging in what is clearly
an election-year ploy.
Earlier this week Romney
stumbled on the issue, first ap-
pearing to oppose the GOP mea-
sure sponsored by Blunt before
his campaign clarified that he
had misunderstood the ques-
tion.
Im in favor of the Blunt
amendment, he told CBS News
while working the rope line and
signing autographs with voters
in Fargo, N.D.

The reason that this amendment is being debated
right now is that the administration issued an or-
der thats just unprecedented.
Sen. Roy Blunt

by the union concession could trigger
3 percent retroactive pay to all prison
union employees, even if only one
was alleging a violation, Check said.
The pay raise would total about
$400,000 for the rest of the year and
$500,000 in 2013.
The trigger is too high and too
risky, and the existing collective bar-
gaining agreement already had a pro-
cedure to resolve disagreements,
Check said.
The prison layoffs, which include
three non-union workers, are among
59 county staff cuts required as part
of a downsizing to balance the 2012
budget.
The county had offered to halt the
prison layoffs for two weeks if the
union leaders would have agreed to
recommend the agreement to their
members for a vote, he said. If the
union leadership needed more time,
the county agreed to recall the em-
ployees when an agreement was reac-
hed, he said.
Prison union representative Tom
Boram said prison inmates will likely
become aggravated over some of the
changes caused by layoffs, which in-
crease safety concerns for guards.
The prison is losing two counsel-
ors, three maintenance workers, a
supply employee, commissary worker
and three K-9 officers in addition to
the five newer correctional officers,
Boram said.
Counselors help inmates with fam-
ily matters, mental health concerns
and problems with pending court
dates and paperwork, Boram said.
The county will now have two coun-
selors at the main prison, which has
about 500 inmates, and one counselor
for the roughly 100 inmates typically
at the minimal offenders unit, he said.
The counselors often resolve court
paperwork glitches that help inmates
get out faster and help inmates devel-
op plans for what theyll do after
theyre released, he said.
Maintenance workers check win-
dows and repair everything from door
security controls to broken cell
bunks, he said. With layoffs, the pris-
on system will be left with six mainte-
nance workers covering three shifts
every day of the year, he said.
If a blocked toilet in an inmates
cell can get handled more quickly,
theres less stress, Boram said.
The prison will have one supply
person to handle the tracking and dis-
tribution of sheets, toilet paper and
other items for all inmates, he said.
The remaining commissary worker
must oversee all inmate accounts for
purchases from the prison store,
which will slow resolution of inmate
disagreements over how much money
they have left, he said.
K-9 patrols to detect contraband
will be reduced because only two offi-
cers with dogs will remain, he said.
Prison Warden Joe Piazza said
most of the cuts were in ancillary po-
sitions because he wanted to keep the
same number of correctional officers,
with the exception of the five newer
ones.
I wholeheartedly believe we will
meet safety standards with the cuts,
he said.
Inmates may have to wait a few
more hours or an extra day for suppli-
es or a meeting with a counselor, he
said. Maintenance projects will be
tackled as they come up, he said.
Nothing is affected in food service.
Medical treatment will stay the same.
Everything thats essential should be
normal, he said.
Piazza said he expects guards to ad-
just.
Im very confident that my staff
will rise to the occasion and do what-
ever is needed to run the facility in a
safe and secure manner to keep the
community protected and treat in-
mates in a safe and humane manner.

Davis Love III looked more like
a player than a Ryder Cup captain
Thursday at the Honda Classic.
Love made a hole-in-one on the
197-yard fifth hole and tied the
course record at PGA National
with a 6-under 64, giving him a
two-shot lead. He took advantage
of soft and relatively calm condi-
tions in the morning.
Rory McIlroy was in the group
at 66, needing a win this week to
go to No. 1 in the world.
Tiger Woods needs a good
round just to have a chance going
into the weekend. Playing the
Honda Classic for the first time as
a pro, Woods twice lost momen-
tum with sloppy bogeys and failed
to convert a routine up-and-down
on the par-5 18th for a 1-over 71.
He was seven shots out of the
lead, right on the cut line going
into Friday.
But he played in tougher condi-
tions, with stronger wind, in the
afternoon and still hit the ball
well, as he has been doing.
I didnt get a whole lot out of
my round, Woods said. I hit the
ball a lot better than I scored, and
I certainly putted well, and I
didnt hardly get anything out of
the round. Hopefully, tomorrow it
will be better.
Woods missed only three
greens, but took 34 putts.
The 47-year-old Love has been
around long enough to know that
one round is nothing more than a
good start, and he was happy to
have that after a 5-iron to 18 feet
for birdie on the 17th and a bunker
shot to tap-in range for birdie on
the par-5 18th.
He hasnt won since Disney at
the end of 2008, and the last time
he was atop the leaderboard after
one round was at Bay Hill in 2010.
If I had not birdied the last two
holes, it still would have been a
good start, Love said. Its fun to
tie the course record. And its fun
to shoot low scores.
Nine other players have shot 64
at PGA National, the most recent
Graeme McDowell a year ago.

quite impressive Thursday night.
Eighteen points, six rebounds, four dunks,
three blocks and three steals. And that was just

Meyers (22-2) will play Holy

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 2012 PAGE 3B
S P O R T S
There are days when an engi-
neering degree especially pays
off for a college basketball
coach.
His team at the mercy of the
NCAA tournament selection
committee this weekend,
Kings coach Brian Donoghue
sat down and went through all
15criteria usedtoselect at-large
teams.
Strength of schedule. Com-
mon opponents. Weighted win-
ning percentages.
There was a lot of Division
III bracketology on Friday, Sat-
urday and Sunday, said Do-
noghue, acivil engineer inapre-
vious life. We went through it
all. All the sudden were caring
about Louisiana College. Liter-
ally, they were the last game.
They were a ranked team that
got beat in their tournament.
I spent most of Saturday and
Sunday watching (results).
Not only did Kings pick up
an invitation to the tourna-
ment, the school was selected
to host a four-team pod, which
will see the Lady Monarchs
host Oneonta State at 7:30 p.m.
today at Scandlon Gymnasium.
William Paterson and Salve Re-
gina will tip off first at 5:30 p.m.
The Lady Monarchs had mis-
sed out on an automatic bid
early Saturday afternoon with a
loss to Misericordia in the Free-
dom Conference champion-
ship.
From there it was sitting
down at the computer to watch
tournament final after tourna-
ment final roll in, trying to fig-
ure out the teams chances for
one of the 20 at-large spots from
across the country.
When Kings name popped
up on Monday on the NCAAse-
lection show video online, it
was a moment four years in the
making for a senior class that
was thrown into the fire long
ago.
Heading into the 2009-10 sea-
son, the Lady Monarchs found
themselves without a single up-
perclassman on the roster
thanks to injuries, internships
and other personal decisions.
That left Kings with a pair of
sophomores Paige Carlin and
Brittany Muscatell as the cap-
tains. Fellow second-year play-
ers Nina Magan and Abby Mal-
loy were two others who came
into the year as the experienced
ones on the team.
Now those four along with
transfer Samantha Simcox
make up a senior class that has
the programonthe big stage for
the first time in nine years.
That 2009-10 season also saw
four freshmen join up who have
made an impact on getting this
teamto the tournament in 2012
starters Katlin Michaels and
Lindsay Atchison along with
top reserves Celia Rader and
Molly Dahl.
Theyve had the leadership
role for a long time, Donoghue
said. Theyve started, theyve
come off the bench. Theyve
gotten a lot of minutes, some
minutes. But theyve always
found a way to lead. And I think
were seeing that success right
now, especially in end-of-game
situations.
I think our program right
now understands how to win.
All five seniors have been spec-
tacular. The box score doesnt
need to show that for us to
know that. Thats the biggest
thingtheir teammates andthe
coaching staff know how good
our senior class has been this
year. Not just on game day.
Of the five, only Simcox
joined the program after her
freshman year, transferring
across town fromWilkes to play
her final two seasons. But she
has been am important part of
the roster in that time, joining
the starting lineup as a senior.
In the conference semifinals
against Eastern she came up
with the rebound and the buck-
et with two seconds left to give
Kings the win.
Aloss inthat roundinsteadof
the finals may very well have
cost the Lady Monarchs their
NCAA bid.
I think a big part of it has
been Abby and Nina and Brit
and Paige played a lot of min-
utes intheir first twoyears, Do-
noghue said. They had mixed
results, but I think they went
through the process well. Obvi-
ously they had a good year last
year.
And the addition of Sam her
junior year has been a great ad-
ditional piece. Theyre all just
mature. Theyre just a bunch of
really mature 21- and 22-year
olds. And thats helping this
whole thing come together.

CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER
Kings College players
prepare on Thursday
afternoon for tonights
NCAA tournament open-
er against Oneonta
State. The Lady Mon-
archs received an at-
large bid into the field of
64.
SCRANTON After waiting
some 15 days to play a meaning-
ful game, the Old Forge girls bas-
ketball team figured waiting an-
other eight minutes wouldnt be
such a big deal.
And it wasnt.
The Blue Devils overcame a
sluggest start on both ends of the
floor to reach its fifth straight
District 2 Class A final after they
dominated the second-half of a
48-28 victory over Northwest on
Thursday at Scranton High
School.
The Rangers got off to a quick
start as Sarah Shaffer knocked
down two three-pointers the
secondwith41seconds left inthe
opening stanza -- to push North-
west to an 8-4 lead.
But that lead disappeared in
the second quarter as Old Forge
used a decided advantage on the
boards to offset a horrid 7-for-32
shooting effort from the field in
the first half including a1-for-16
performance from beyond the
three-point line.
The Blue Devils had a double-
digit rebounding edge in the first
16 minutes and used that advan-
tage to take a 16-15 lead at inter-
mission. Old Forge scored seven
points on three offensive re-
bounds, including a bucket and a
free throw from Lauren Carey to
put the Blue Devils ahead 16-12
with 31 seconds left in the half.
Only Alivia Womelsdorfs lay-
up at the second-quarter buzzer
kept Northwest (14-9) withinone
at the break.
The two-week layoff hurt,
Old Forge coach TomGatto said.
We pickedthe pressure up inthe
second quarter and the second
half, and changed up our presses.
The half-court trap seemed to
shake them up.
In the second half when we
decided we didnt want to throw
up three-pointers, we hit the
short corner and
were able to put
the ball in the
basket.
That second-
half pressure
forced 13 North-

and limited Womelsdorf -- the
Wyoming Valley Conferences
leading scorer to just three
points in the final 16 minutes.
Offensively, Old Forge (16-6)
went inside against the North-
west 2-3 zone, attacking the base-
line to create easy buckets for se-
nior center Morgan Malia and ju-
nior forward Lauren Carey.
The inside duo scored 19 of
Old Forges points during a 21-5
run to open the second quarter
that saw the Blue Devils take a
37-20 lead with 7:15 remaining in
the game.
I knew our shots werent fall-
ing (in the first half) so I needed
to go to the basket, said Malia,
who scored a season-high 17
points while grabbing 10 re-
bounds. We knewwe were going
to be able to attack them down
low, so we just needed to a better
job of working the ball inside.
Carey finished with 15 points,
six rebounds and four steals for
Old Forge who will take on de-
fending champion Forest City in
the District 2 Class A champion-
ship Saturday at 2:30 p.m. at
Scranton.
Shaffer finished with a team-
high 14 points for Northwest, in-
cluding four three-pointers. Wo-
melsdorf, who averaged more
than 21 points per game, was
held to just 10 points.

trict 2 Class 4A boys basketball
semifinals.
Although the game was a semi-
final, since DelVal (19-5) will play
District 4s Williamsport for the
tournament title the Warriors al-
so captured the D2 champion-
ship. That game will be 2 p.m.
Saturday at Wyoming Area.
It feels amazing, DelVal
coach Kris Holtzer said. Sixteen
years we havent won it. The last
time we wonit, it was oldDistrict
12 and I was a freshman in high
school.
Hazleton Area (20-4) ended its
season with its second loss in its
last three games, although it
didnt appear early on the season
was in jeopardy. Sophomore Sal
Biasi sizzledfromtheoutsideand
senior Travis Buckner dominat-
ed inside as the Cougars built an
18-7 lead at 1:10 of the opening
quarter.
But turnovers became more of
a factor in the second quarter, al-
lowing the Warriors to pull with-
in 27-20 at halftime.
We left points off the score-
board, Joseph said. It was more
than an up-seven-at-halftime ef-
fort by us in the first half. In the
second quarter, we became a
jumpshooting team for about
four minutes. We werent getting
offensive rebounds. It was one-
and-done, and they were starting
to run some of their stuff in their
end.
The Cougars were just 1-of-6
fromthree-point range in the sec-
ond quarter and were 1-of-5 five
in the second half.
Meanwhile, DelVal begantore-
group methodically. The War-
riors caught Hazleton Area twice
in the third 33-33 and 39-39 on
the final basket of the quarter.
They finally took the lead, 43-41
with 4:43 left in the game, on
Brent Fragolas inside basket.
They were really physical and
were not used to playing that
way, DelVal coach Kris Holtzer
said. Once we settled down we
realized that we had to take care
of the ball and stop looking at the
officials for a call.
Hazleton Area managed to tie
the score 45-45 at 1:54 when
Buckner recorded a steal and
completeda three-point play. But
a four-point burst put DelVal up
for good.

Morgan Biermans driving lay-
up with 13 seconds remaining
gave Honesdale the lead for
good. Dallas had two more shots
from the line with seven seconds
left, but missed both.
The big thing was we didnt
shoot the line, Johnson said of
her team, which was 6-of-16 from
the line a game after going 24-
of-32 against the Royals. When
you lose by two points, free
throws can kill you. We missed
too many and thats the game.
Englehart rebounded yet an-
other miss on a one-and-one by
Honesdale, and Dallas had a
chance after calling a timeout
with two seconds remaining.
Dunbar (18 points) inbounded
from just inside midcourt to En-
glehart in the paint. With no
opening to shoot, Englehart dis-
hedto the first shooter she sawin
position Comitz who got off a
quality attempt for the tie.
Honesdale advances to play
Nanticoke inthe district final Sat-
urday at 2 p.m. at Pittston Area.
Our goal, late in the season,
was lets go to the district cham-
pionship, Ludwig said. If you
had asked me in November if
wed be here, Id have said no
way. Nanticoke Im going to
walk into the gym a little confi-
dent.

SCRANTON Through the
first quarter of the District 2
Class A girls basketball semifinal
between Forest City and MMI
Prep, the Preppers were only
downbytwopoints tothetourna-
ments top seed and defending
champion.
By the time the second quarter
hadracedby, MMI hadwatcheda
two-point deficit stretch to 13 for
a Foresters lead that would not
be overcome in Forest Citys 47-
20 win Thursday night at Scran-
ton High School.
With the win, Forest City (12-
10) advances to the tournament
final against Old Forge on Satur-
day at 2:45 p.m. at Scranton
High. MMI (4-20) concludes its
season.
It feels good to be moving on
and to get a chance to play Sat-
urday, Forest City coachCarl Ur-
bas said. Its been us and Old
Forge going back and forth for a
couple years now for the district
championship. Were going to
have to play a good game to get
past them.
While Forest City will definite-
lyhavetoplayasoundgameover-
all to defeat Old Forge, the For-
esters at least knowthat if points
are neededinbunches, Carly Erd-
man can handle it.
Erdman scored 11 of Forest
Citys 15 points in the second
quarter, spurring runs of 7-0 and
8-0before the Foresters tooka 23-
10 lead at the half. The sopho-
more forward knocked down a
pair of threes, scoredona drive to
the basket and went 3-for-3 from
the free-throw
line while MMI
struggled its
way to four
points inthe sec-
ond quarter.
Im an out-
sideshooter, thats myshot, thats
where Im comfortable, said
Erdman, whoscoreda game-high
26 points. Im doing what I can
to support my teammates when
Imout there some nights I just
have to be patient and let it come
to me.
While Erdman slowed down in
the third quarter to the tune of
three points, the Foresters re-
ceived another take-over-a-quar-
ter performance, this time cour-
tesy of Liz Heller.
The senior point guard opened
up the third quarter with three
steals that leadto six consecutive
points for Forest City, running
the lead up to 29-10 before an
MMI timeout.
I think defense is one of the
biggest keys in basketball and I
think offense will come along
with that, Heller said. Staying
aggressive defensively is definite-
ly going to be a big help to us.
Heller added four more steals
in the quarter and finished the
game with 11, along with five re-
bounds and three assists.
We just couldnt get into a
rhythm during the game, MMI
coach Patty Medvecky said. I
think it was definitely (Forest
Citys) man-to-man defense, we
just couldnt get anything going.

MMI PREP
Were more of a team now,
Meyers junior forward Rasheed
Moore said. Were not individ-
uals. At the start of the season,
we werent playing much as a
team.
Lakeland (18-10) had little
chance keeping up withthe Mo-
hawks from the onset. Lewis
left-handed dunk made it 8-0
less than three minutes into the
game. By the time the Penn
State football recruit and
Moore were done carving up
the Chiefs defense, Meyers was
ahead 19-6 after one quarter.
We had to show them as
soon as the game started that
they hadnt played anybody as
athletic as us, Meyers coach
Pat Toole said. We had to es-
tablish pace. We knew they
would want to push the tempo
on offense, but we had to push
the tempo on offense and play
transition D.
Missionaccomplished. Lewis
and Moore continued to reign,
and Meyers took a 44-18 lead in-
to halftime with some offensive
assistance from guards Alex
Pape and Fabian Smith.
Guard Ryan Krawczeniuk
was the only Meyers starter
struggling from the field in the
first half. He turned that around
with four buckets in the third.
A few minutes after Lewis
fifth dunk, Meyers turned over
the game to the reserves. Back-
up forward Tyriek Steward
started the seldom-seen, 40-
point mercy rule with a basket
with 4:50 to play.
Lewis finished with a game-
high 27 points. Moore had 16

Five days after goaltender
Scott Munroe left after the
first period during Satur-
days 2-1 loss to Syracuse,
the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
Penguins situation in net re-
mains cloudy.
As of Thursday, Brad
Thiessen
remained
up in Pitts-
burgh after
earning a
win in his
first NHL
start Sunday. After a brief
practice Wednesday, coach
John Hynes said Munroe is
still considered day-to-day
(lower body), but the injury
wont keep him out long.
That leaves rookie Patrick
Killeen, who stopped 21 of
24 shots in his first AHL
start during Sundays 3-2
loss to Norfolk, as the teams
starter and rookie Brad Fo-
gal as his backup.
Hynes said Killeen, who
has been in the organization
for two years, has improved
his game and hes comfort-
able using the young netmin-
der as his interim starter.
Hes a good young pros-
pect, fits in well here, and if
it winds up that he has to
play some games for us, Im
confident hes going to be
able to do a good job, Hynes
said.
Fogal was signed to a PTO
on Sunday after posting a 4-
4-0 record with the Cincin-
nati Cyclones of the ECHL.
During four seasons at
Adrian College (2007-11) Fo-
gal posted a record of 93-11.
Hynes was happy to sign Fo-
gal on such short notice.
He was on a team that
had three goalies, he was go-
ing to be able to get re-
leased, Hynes said. He had
a good track record at
Adrian, played at a pretty
good level of hockey and hes
a high-character kid.
As far as Thiessens re-
turn, Hynes didnt expect for
anything to happen this
week.
There really is no answer
yet, he said. It has to play
out a little bit.
NOTES
Bryan Lerg is still listed
as day-to-day but wont be
out for the long-term, Hynes
said.
Hynes said Keven Veil-
leux wont return for the
playoffs as he continues to
rehabilitate from knee sur-
gery. His rehabilitation will
continue through the sum-
mer, Hynes said.

NEWYORKThe Braves are
remembered for one of baseballs
epic collapses.
Toobadfor Atlanta the playoffs
werent expanded a year earlier.
Negotiators for baseball play-
ers and owners are working to-
ward an agreement to increase
the postseason field to 10 teams
this season. They had hoped to
reach a deal by Thursday, but
both sides said talks could con-
tinue if they needed additional
time to deal with the details of
adding a second wild-card team
in each league.
The sides spoke on condition
of anonymity to The Associated
Press because the talks have not
been public.
If there had been additional
wild-card teams last season, the
Braves would have made the
playoffs in the NL, while the Bos-
ton Red Sox would have qualified
in the AL. Instead, each missed
the postseason by a game, both
going down with historic Sep-
tember swoons.
I wouldve taken it last year,
Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez
said Thursday.
The sides have said for weeks a
deal is likely. When players and
owners signed their agreement
for a new labor contract in No-
vember, the section covering the
postseason established a March1
goal for deciding whether the
playoffs would increase by two
teams for 2012 or 2013.
The deal wouldestablisha new
one-game, wild-card round in
each league between the teams
with the best records who are not
division winners, meaning a
third-place team could win the
World Series.
Dont count on it, said Braves
pitcher Tim Hudson.
The wild-card winner would
face a major disadvantage going
through the rest of the playoffs,
according to Hudson. Last sea-
son, St. Louis passed the Braves
for the wild card on the final day
and went on to capture the World
Series. Hudson said it wouldve
been much harder for the Cardi-
nals or the Braves to advance if
they had played an extra game
against each other first.
The only good thing about it
is one more team (in each
league) gets in the playoffs, he
said. But it totally handicaps the
wild-card team. Both teams will
probably have to expend their
best pitcher to win that game.
Plus, its another day they have to
use their bullpen. Even if you get
by that one game, the chances of
winning the next round are not
very good.
The Cardinals became the fifth
wild-card team to win the World
Series since the playoff field dou-
bled in1995, going fromtwo divi-
sion winners in each league to
three division winners and a wild
card. Other wild-card champions
were the Florida Marlins in 1997
and 2003, Anaheim in 2002 and
Boston in 2004.
Adding two more playoffs
teams this year has been compli-
cated because the regular-season
schedule was drafted last spring
and summer, and the extra game
has to be put in place in a manner
that doesnt disrupt the WorldSe-
ries schedule. Ina further compli-
cation, the sides reached a con-
sensus that ties for division titles
wouldbe brokenonthe fieldwith
a tiebreaker game under the new
format, and not by head-to-head
record.
Head-to-head record has been
usedsince1995todetermine first
place if both teams are going to
the postseason. But the sides de-
cided with the start of a one-
game, winner-take-all wild-card
round, the difference between
first place anda wild-cardberthis
too important to decide with a
formula and that a tiebreaker
game should be played.
Late last month, Commission-
er Bud Selig said playoff expan-
sion for this season was on track.

Class 3AGirls
Favorite: Led by sisters Felicia
and Shaina Grego, Hazleton Area
featuresthemost balancedteamin
Class 3A and is favorites to win a
majority of the races. The Cougars
could pick up a tremendous
amount of points during the relay
events all three of whichthey are
favoredin. Moreover, HazletonAr-
ea is on a mission to reclaim a re-
gional title it barely lost a year ago.
Dark Horse: Wyoming Valley
West may not be top-heavy this
year but it certainly could garner
extra points with its substantial
depth. Morgan Hanadel owns the
top seed in the 100 back.
Who to Watch: Wallenpaupack
sophomore Baileigh Vanderhoof
carried a top seed time in the 100
breast and 100 fly. Delaware Val-
leys Kendall Glaster enters this
weekend as the fastest sprinter in
the field.
Class 2ABoys
Favorite: Dallas is the projected
favorite in nine of the 12 events.
The Mountaineers are led by Mar-
cus Wagner, who shared a 19-sec-
ond lead differential over the sec-
ond-fastest swimmer in the 500
free. Jake Chielli eyes the top spot
in the 50 free and 100 fly.
Dark Horses: With its program
dissolved just weeks before the
season, Crestwood is largely the
biggest unknown. Save invitation-
al meets, it has not competed
against the field. Joseph Grzech
became the Comets first district
championa year agointhe 50 free.
ScrantonPrepandHolyRedeemer
should battle it out for second
place. The Cavaliers could start
things onthe right pathwitha win
in the 200 medley relay.
Who to Watch: Elk Lakes Adam
Phillips is the favorite in the 100
breast.
Class 2AGirls
Favorite: Holy Redeemer pos-
sesses a wealth of talent that

straight district title. The Royals
rest on their relay teams remain as
the keystone to their success, and
ElizabethFinneganshouldcontest

Julie Ann Mahle will vie for a trip
to Lewisburg in the backstroke.
Dark Horse: Scranton Prep

swimmers inthe district; however,
its lackof depthproves tobe its pe-
rennial downfall. Katie Voitik be-
camethetopfreshmanintheWVC

PHILADELPHIA Matt
Read scored twice and Jaromir
Jagr had the go-ahead goal to
lead the Philadelphia Flyers to a
6-3 victory over the New York
Islanders on Thursday night.
Andrej Meszaros and Scott
Hartnell also scored for Phila-
delphia, which had been slump-
ing. The Flyers had lost five of
eight, but moved into fifth
place in the Eastern Conference
with the win.
Josh Bailey scored two goals
and Kyle Okposo had one for
the Islanders, who have the
fourth-lowest point total in the
NHL.
Evgeni Nabokov stopped just
24 of 29 shots for New York.
Nabokov was sensational in a
1-0 shootout win over the Flyers
last month. He turned aside 47
shots, including two in the
shootout. But the veteran goa-
lie clearly wasnt the same this
time against a team that had
been shut out in two of its three
previous games.
Ilya Bryzgalov made 21 saves
to earn the win in his fifth
straight start.
Jagr and Read scored 39
seconds apart in the second
period to put Philadelphia
ahead 4-2.
First, it was the 40-year-old
Jagr making a move reminis-
cent of his glory days in Pitts-
burgh. Jagr carried the puck
down the right side, skated
around the net, fended off a
defender and backhanded a
shot past Nabokov for his 663rd
NHL goal.
It was Jagrs 1,642nd career
point, moving him ahead of Joe
Sakic into eighth place on the
NHL career list. Former team-
mate Mario Lemieux is ahead
of Jagr at 1,723 points.
Read then gave the Flyers a
two-goal cushion by streaking
down the center and deflecting
a perfect crossing pass from
Wayne Simmonds in for his
18th goal. Read is tied with
Colorados Gabriel Landeskog
for the most goals among roo-
kies.
Bruins 4, Devils 3
BOSTON David Krejci
completed his second career
hat trick at 2:59 of overtime to
give the Boston Bruins a 4-3
victory over New Jersey on
Thursday night that finished
their first season sweep of the
Devils since 1985-86.
Tyler Seguin also scored for
the defending Stanley Cup
champions, who opened a
three-point lead over second-
place Ottawa in the Northeast
Division and sent New Jersey
to its fourth straight loss.
Krejci, who had three goals in
his previous 23 games, picked
up a loose puck in front of goa-
lie Martin Brodeur and scored
his 16th of the season, trigger-
ing a cascade of hats onto the
ice. Krejci had not scored more
than one goal in a game this
season.
Rangers 3, Hurricanes 2
RALEIGH, N.C. Marian
Gaborik scored his 30th goal of
the season and Brandon Prust
netted the game-winner in the
Eastern Conference-leading
New York Rangers victory over
the Carolina Hurricanes.
Gaborik reached the 30-goal
mark for the seventh time in his
NHL career. He gave the Rang-
ers a 2-1 lead with 5:07 left in
the second period when he
poked the puck in at the left
post after it sailed high and
landed in the crease.
New York won its third
straight despite playing without
captain Ryan Callahan, who
missed the game because of a
bruised right foot.
Artem Anisimov also scored
for the Rangers (41-15-6), who
have a nine-point lead in the
East. New York has 21 home
wins and 20 road wins this
season.
Canadiens 5, Wild 4
MONTREAL David Desh-
arnais scored in regulation and
in a shootout as the Montreal
Canadiens pulled out a win
over the Minnesota Wild, de-
spite blowing a three-goal lead
in the third period.
The Wild trailed 4-1 going
into the final four minutes of
regulation and scored three
times. Matt Kassian got his
second of the game, and Dany
Heatley scored before Devin
Setoguchi tied it with the Wild
playing with six attackers with
9 seconds to play.
Boos poured down from the
seats for a team that has blown
leads repeatedly this season.
But Desharnais got the only
shootout goal and Setoguchi
lost the puck, then fell on the
Wilds last attempt to give Mon-
treal the win, ending a season-
high five-game losing streak.
P.K. Subban, Lars Eller and
Max Pacioretty scored as Mon-
treals 29th-ranked power play
got three for the first time this
season.
NBA
Thunder 105, Magic 102
ORLANDO, Fla. Kevin
Durant scored 38 points, in-
cluding 18 in the fourth quarter,
and Russell Westbrook added
29 points and 10 rebounds as
the Oklahoma City Thunder
erased a 14-point deficit to hold
on to beat the Orlando Magic.
The Magic had a chance to
tie it in the final seconds, but
Jason Richardsons long 3-
pointer bounced off the back-
board at the buzzer.
The Thunders win was their
seventh straight, matching a
streak from earlier in the sea-
son.
Dwight Howard scored 33
points and grabbed nine re-
bounds to lead all five Magic
starters in double figures, but
they struggled to shoot from
the field down the stretch. The
Magic dropped to 0-2 against
the Thunder this season, fol-
lowing their season-opening
loss at Oklahoma City on
Christmas night.

The second half opened with
an emphatic Misericordia dunk,
and the Cougars were looking for
another strong finish.
But some 30 minutes later, Mi-
sericordias NCAA tournament
debut was over, done in by an un-
characteristically rocky perform-
ance down the stretch.
Host NYUdispatched the Cou-
gars 84-65 on Thursday night in
the first round of the NCAA Divi-
sion III tournament, outscoring
them 47-29 in the final 20 min-
utes.
I thinkit was mostlytheir abil-
ity to get inside on us and phys-
ically overpower us in the second
half, Misericordia coach Trevor
Woodruff said. We couldnt run
any offense and we couldnt keep
them out of the paint.
Misericordias season came to
an end at 21-7, having won 12
straight games to win the teams
first Freedom Conference cham-
pionship.
NYU advances to Saturdays
second round against Amherst,
the No. 2-ranked team in the
country.
It was thefinal gameinaMiser-
icordia uniformfor seniors Ethan
Eichhorst, Jeff Slanovec and
Chris Undersinger. Eichhorst,
the conference player of the year,
led all scorers with 22 points.
Our senior class has been as
hard-working, as classy, as com-
mitted, as dependable as any
group that any coach has ever
coached, Woodruff said. They
will be sorely missed. Any suc-
cess we have will be based on
what they taught our younger
guys this year.
Freshman Joe Busacca, a New
York native who played his high
school ball on nearby Staten Is-
land, was 10-for-12 from the foul
line and finished with 17 points.
Having rallied to take a one-
point lead into halftime, the Cou-
gars came out of the break with a
slam from junior forward Steve
Artzerounian, giving his squad a
jolt.
Little went right for the Cou-
gars from there.
Two quick fouls on Artzerou-
nian, the teams best post pres-
ence, gave him four total with 15
minutes still to play. That ce-
mented himto the bench for a10-
minute stretch, helping the Vio-
lets take over.
It definitely affected us,
Woodruff said. I dont knowif we
would win regardless, but if hes
able to play in the second, maybe
you keep it close and have a shot
at the end.
What had been a back-and-
forth game suddenly became a
20-point NYUlead with the Man-
hattan crowd chanting, We-
want-Am-herst.
The Violets (21-5) shot a
scorching 60 percent (33-of-55)
from the field. Misericordia fin-
ished at 39 percent (21-of-54).
Eichhorst took control for the
Cougars in the first half, scoring
11 straight points and hitting
from all over the court.
The Hazleton Area grad had17
in the opening 20 minutes and
Misericordia led 37-36 at the
break.
But the Violets capitalized on
turnovers in the second half, us-
ing an 8-0 run to grab the lead
back for good.
They were so balanced that
they were difficult to guard,
Woodruff said. Once they got
out in front in the second half, we
had to chase them around. Once
it came to that, there wasnt
much of a chance for us.

Pa. unemployment at 7.6%
Pennsylvanias seasonally adjusted
unemployment rate was 7.6 percent in
January, down from 7.7 percent in
December 2011, the Department of
Labor & Industry announced Thurs-
day.
The seasonally adjusted civilian
labor force the number of people
working or looking for work was
down 7,000 from December to
6,381,000 and 19,000 below January
2011. Resident employment was down
2,000 to 5,896,000, and the number of
unemployed residents fell 4,000 to
485,000. Pennsylvanias labor force was
19,000 below its January 2011 level.
There were 5,703,800 jobs in Penn-
sylvania during January, a decrease of
9,000 from December and 37,000 more
than a year earlier.
U.S. jobless claims steady
New applications for U.S. unemploy-
ment benefits were barely changed last
week and appear to have settled in a
range consistent with modest hiring
trends.
The Labor Department said on
Thursday that initial claims fell by
2,000 to a seasonally adjusted 351,000
in the week ended Feb. 25.
The four-week average of claims
dropped to 354,000, a four-year low.
Hiring usually picks up when appli-
cations for jobless benefits drop below
400,000, based on historical patterns.
Air Products in Russia
Air Products announced plans Thurs-
day for two new significant invest-
ments in Russia.
Air Products will construct and oper-
ate a more than 200-ton-per-day ox-
ygen, nitrogen and argon liquefier and
a cylinder gases depot in Krasny Sulin
in the Rostov region. The total value of
both investments is more than $30
million. Both projects are expected to
be on-stream in early 2014.
Apple most admired
Apple and Google topped Fortunes
list of the most admired companies in
the United States, with Apple taking
the top spot for the fifth consecutive
year and Google in second for a third
straight year, the magazine reported
Thursday.
Technology companies took the top
three spots on the 50 Most Admired
Companies list, as Seattle-based Ama-
zon.com moved up from seventh in
2010 to third. Coca-Cola and IBM
rounded out the top five.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre tied for
ninth place nationally for the most
new or expanded corporate sites in
2011among like-sized metro areas, ac-
cording to an industry magazine.
Site Selection magazine, the senior
publication in the corporate real es-
tate and economic development field,
releases annual analyses of corporate
expansion that corporate real estate
analysts regard as the industry score-
card, according to a news release.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre tied with
Shreveport-Bossier City, La., and
Hickory-Morganton-Lenoir, N.C., as
eachsecond-tier metropolitanstatisti-
cal area boasted 23 new or expanded
corporations. Baton Rouge, La.,
ranked first with 38.
The magazines managing editor
and local economic development offi-
cials attributed the performance to re-
gional cooperation.
Other like-sized Pennsylvania
MSAs in the top 10 are Allentown-Be-
thlehem-Easton, which ranked fourth
with 28, and Harrisburg-Carlisle,
which came in fifth with 27. Second-
tier MSAs have populations of
200,000 to 1 million. There are 163 of
them in the United States, according
totheU.S. Census Bureau, withScran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre the 40th largest
with 563,331 residents.
Pennsylvania ranked third among
states for corporate expansion in 2011
with 453 sites, trailing Ohio with 498
and Texas with 464.
The magazines analysis focuses on
projects with significant impact. It
does not track retail or government
projects, schools or hospitals. Newfa-
cilities andexpansions includedinthe
analysis must meet at least one of
three criteria involve a capital in-
vestment of at least $1 million, create
at least 50 new jobs or add at least
20,000 square feet of new floor area.
Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of
Business & Industry Vice President
Larry Newman said there have been
several job-creation announcements
locally in 2011, including Lord & Tay-
lor in Wilkes-Barre Township and the
C3i at CenterPoint Commerce and
Trade Park East in Jenkins Township.
I think what the ranking shows is
that the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area
continues to have some fundamental
advantages as a business location be-
cause of our relationship to such a
large percentage of the nations pop-
ulation on the East Coast of the Unit-
ed States, Newman said.
Penny Cannella, president of Penns
Northeast, saidcooperationis a key to
success.
Economic development is not
about one organization or one person,
its all of these things working togeth-
er. Its your communities, your
schools. We work in cooperation with
four counties, NEPA Alliance and all
the economic development organiza-
tions tomeet clients needs. Thats the
most important thing, Cannella said.
Bruns said no matter how many ec-
onomic development agencies there
are, if theyre banding together in a
regional way, it bears good results.
Having a truly regional approach, not
just in marketing, but in the way you
communicate with a corporate pros-
pect can work wonders.

DETROIT With gasoline prices
spiking 30 cents last month, demand
soared in February for compact cars
like the Focus and Civic. That lifted
U.S. sales for Ford, Honda and other
major automakers that reported Febru-
ary sales on Thursday.
Erich Merkle, Fords top U.S. sales
analyst, says small cars made up
around 19 percent of industry sales in
December. That rose to 21 percent in
January and could go as high as 24 per-
cent in February, once final sales are
tallied.
Other trends are also helping sales.
The average car on U.S. roads is now a
record 10.8 years old, so there is an in-
creasing need to replace them. Credit
availability is improving, bringing
more people back into the market. Ja-
panese automakers have largely reco-
vered from last years earthquake and
now have more cars to sell. And con-
sumer confidence rose dramatically in
February, making people more likely to
consider a big-ticket purchase.
That could add up to a third straight
year of improving sales for the industry.
January started strong as sales hit an
annual rate of 14.2 million. That pace
could accelerate in February. Toyotas
U.S. sales chief projected that it could
hit 15 million, the best in almost four
years. Last years sales reached 12.8
million.
Big winners last month were Volks-
wagen and Chrysler.
Volkswagen sales rose 42 percent,
led by the redesigned Passat midsize
sedan. Chrysler sales jumped 40 per-
cent. The tiny Fiat 500 had its best
month ever, but sales were strong
across the companys lineup. Rampick-
up sales climbed 21 percent. And sales
of the Chrysler 200 midsize sedan more
than quadrupled from a year earlier.
Ford sales rose 14 percent, mostly on
demand for the Focus. Its sales more
than doubled to 23,350, making it the
best February for the car in 12 years.
At GM, sales of the Chevrolet Cruze
compact rose 10 percent to top 20,000
for the month, while the new Chevy
Sonic subcompact saw its best sales
month ever at almost 8,000. The
strength of those sales helped General
Motors, which was expected to see
sales drop. Instead, it eked out a 1 per-
cent increase.
Consumers continued to pay higher
prices for cars in February, mainly be-
cause theyre buying well-equipped
small cars, according to the TrueCar-
.com automotive website.
Vehicles sold for an average of
$30,605 last month, up almost 7 per-
cent from a year earlier, TrueCar said.

Over the past
three months,
known as mete-
orological winter,
the average tem-
perature was
34.0 degrees,
marking the
third warmest
winter on record
in our area. Our
March is expect-
ed to be warmer
than normal and
that would make
seven months in
a row being
above normal
with tempera-
ture. Southerly
winds tonight
will come with
more rain fol-
lowed by a west
wind tomorrow
and clearing.
Spring-like tem-
peratures on
Saturday will be
followed by a
cold wave lasting
into Tuesday. A
fine spell of
weather will
come later next
week with a sig-
nicant warming
trend.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: A rapidly intensifying low pressure system will produce an outbreak of severe
thunderstorms from portions of the Ohio Valley into the Gulf states today. Strong tornadoes may
affect parts of this area. Meanwhile, a narrow stripe of heavy snow will accompany the colder portion
of this system from northeast Iowa into northern Michigan.

NOTICE OF THE PROPOSED GENERAL PLAN APPROVAL AND/OR GENERAL OPERATING PERMIT
FOR NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION AND/OR PROCESSING FACILITIES (BAQ-GPA/GP-5)
The Department of Environmental Protection (department) proposes to issue a revised General Plan
Approval and/or Operating Permit (BAQ-GPA/GP-5 or General Permit) for Natural Gas Production and/or
Processing Facilities that establishes emission limitations and other applicable federal and state require-
ments including Best Available Technology requirements.
The revised General Permit, BAQ-GPA/GP-5, which is authorized under Section 6.1(f) of the Air Pollution
Control Act (APCA), 35 P.S. 4006.1(f) and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter H (relating to general plan
approvals and general operating permits), will apply to the construction, operation, and modification of air
contamination sources at new and existing natural gas production and/or processing facilities. The applica-
bility and scope of the revised General Permit, BAQ-GPA/GP-5 has been expanded to cover air contamina-
tion sources including, but not limited to the following: wellheads and valve assemblies, natural gas-fired
spark ignition internal combustion engines, natural gas-fired simple cycle turbines, centrifugal compressors,
condensate tanks, distillation towers, glycol dehydrators, reboilers, natural gas fractionation units, vapor
recovery systems, storage vessels, flares, valves, piping, flanges and transport loading arms.
On August 23, 2011, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed, for public review and com-
ment, rules concerning the Oil and Natural Gas Sector: New Source Performance Standards and National
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants Reviews (76 FR 52738). The proposed revised General
Permit includes proposed provisions of the federal rules, which will automatically be adopted and incorporat-
ed by reference in the Pennsylvania Code once finalized by the EPA. It is anticipated that the federal rules
applicable to the oil and natural gas sector will be finalized in April 2012. This General Permit will not be
issued prior to the publication of EPAs final rules.
The proposed substantive revisions to the GP-5 include conditions that prescribe applicability, emission lim-
itations, compliance, notification, monitoring, record keeping, reporting and administrative requirements.
This General Permit does not authorize the construction, modification or operation of sources subject to the
Prevention of Significant Deterioration and nonattainment new source review requirements specified in 25
Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapters D (relating to prevention of significant deterioration) and E (relating to
new source review). In addition, this General Permit does not cover spark ignition internal combustion
engines or simple cycle turbines that are used as peak shaving engine generators.
Section A of the General Permit includes general conditions including definitions, applicability/scope, munici-
pal notifications, application for use procedures, compliance requirements, fees, expiration and reauthoriza-
tion of the use of the GP-5, and transfer of ownership. The emission fees established in Condition 10 of this
section are summarized as follows.
(1) General Plan Approval application fee: One thousand and seven hundred dollars ($1,700)
(2) General Operating Permit fee: Three hundred seventy-five dollars ($375)
(3) Annual operating permit administration fee: Three hundred seventy-five dollars ($375)
Section B of the General Permit establishes requirements for spark ignition internal combustion engines. The
emission limits applicable to spark ignition internal combustion engines operating under an existing GP-5
authorization must reduce emissions to levels equal to or less than:
(1) Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) (as NO2) at rated brake horsepower (bhp) and operating at rated speed
two (2.0) grams per bhp-hour (gm/bhp-hr);
(2) Non Methane Hydrocarbon (NMHC) (as propane) at rated bhp and operating at rated speedtwo (2.0)
gm/bhp-hr;
(3) Carbon Monoxide (CO) at rated bhp and operating at rated speedtwo (2.0) gm/bhp-hr;
The engines must also meet federal requirements including the Standard of Performance (NSPS) for
Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines specified in 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ, and/or the
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal
Combustion Engines codified in 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ, as applicable.
The General Permit establishes the best available technology requirements set forth below for new or recon-
structed stationary spark ignition engines which commenced construction after the effective date of this
General Permit. Owners and operators must comply with applicable requirements established in 40 CFR
Part 60, Subpart JJJJ and the NESHAP requirements in 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ.
(1) New or reconstructed natural gas-fired lean-burn engines rated at equal to or less than 100 bhp shall
not exceed NOx emissions (expressed as NO2) of 2.0 gm/bhp-hr and CO emissions of 2.0 gm/bhp-
hr.
(2) New or reconstructed natural gas-fired lean-burn engines rated at greater than 100 bhp and equal to
or less than 637 bhp shall not exceed NOx emissions (expressed as NO2) of 1.0 gm/bhp-hr, CO emis
sions of 47 ppmvd corrected at 15% oxygen, and Non-Methane Non-Ethane Hydrocarbons (NMNE
HC) emissions of (as Propane) 0.35 gm/bhp-hr.
(3) New or reconstructed natural gas-fired lean-burn engines rated at greater than 637 bhp shall not
exceed NOx emissions (expressed as NO2) of 0.5 gm/bhp-hr, CO emissions of 0.12 gm/bhp-hr, NMNE
HC emissions of (as Propane) 0.12 gm/bhp-hr, SO2 emissions of 0.01 gm/bhp-hr, total particulate mat
ter emissions of 0.03 gm/bhp-hr, and Formaldehyde (HCHO) emissions of 0.04 gm/bhp-hr.
(4) New or reconstructed natural gas-fired rich-burn engines shall not exceed NOx emissions (expressed
as NO2) of 0.2 gm/bhp-hr, CO emissions of 0.25 gm/bhp-hr, NMNEHC (as Propane) emissions of 0.06
gm/bhp-hr, SO2 emissions of 0.01 gm/bhp-hr, total particulate emissions of 0.03 gm/bhp-hr, and HCHO
emissions of 2.7 ppmvd corrected at 15% oxygen.
Visible emissions shall not exceed either of the following limitations:
(1) Equal to or greater than 10% for a period or periods aggregating more than 3 minutes in any one hour.
(2) Equal to or greater than 30% at any time.
The General Permit requires compliance with certain work practice and monitoring requirements including
the following for engines equipped with an oxidation catalyst:
(1) The pressure drop across the catalyst may not change by more than 2 inches of water at 100 percent
load plus or minus 10 percent from the pressure drop across the catalyst that was measured during
the initial performance test.
(2) The inlet catalyst temperature and pressure drop reading across the catalyst every 15 minutes must
be recorded when the engine is operating.
(3) The catalyst inlet temperature must be equal to 450F and less than or equal to 1350F, or as speci
fied by the manufacturer and the GP-5 Application.
The notification, recordkeeping and reporting requirements specified in 40 CFR 60.4245 and 40 CFR
63.6645 must be met. The records must be retained for at least five years and made available to the depart-
ment upon request.
Section C of the General Permit establishes standards and requirements for simple cycle gas turbines.
(1) New or reconstructed natural gas-fired simple cycle turbines with a rated capacity equal to or greater
than 1000 bhp or 10.7 gigajoules per hour that commenced construction, modification, or reconstruc-
tion after February 18, 2005, must comply with requirements specified in 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart KKKK.
