A COOL WISH: PRACTICE WITH THE PENGUINS

BI-COUNTY

Airport OKs pay increases County’s manager votes no, says county administrators have gone 5 years without. By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

PITTSTON TWP. – For the first time since 2008, 16 nonunionized employees at the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport will be getting raises. When the bi-county board that oversees the airport met Thursday, it decided to adopt its 2012 budget. Airport Director Barry J. Centini Lawton requested INSIDE: Airport raises of 3 to board lands big 4 percent for savings, Page the manage14A ment and other nonunion staff. Centini said the raises will amount to a total of $34,700 this year. He noted the airport’s 30 unionized workers have been getting annual raises of between 1 and 3 percent each year since 2008. The budget, along with the raises, were approved by a 5-1 vote with Luzerne County Manager Robert Lawton the lone dissenter. Lawton, attending his first meeting since being hired last month to the new position, said he was fine with the budget overall but was casting a vote against approving it based solely on the pay raises. He noted Luzerne County department managers and administrators have gone five See RAISES, Page 14A

Downtown W-B department store will soon undergo remodeling

Have you Boscov’d? Many do Albert Boscov tours his WilkesBarre store. He said in 2012, the downtown store has seen a 14.9 percent increase in sales – the top growth rate in the chain. The store will soon undergo remodeling.

By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Boscov’s Department Store – the anchor to a downtown still struggling to return to greatness – has seen the most rapid increase in sales in the 40-store chain so far in 2012. And the company’s patriarch – Al Boscov – said the center city store will soon get a facelift. “We’re working on ideas for remodeling,” Boscov said from his Reading office. “We’ve been cleaning it up, but the store is old enough that it needs remodeling. The store needs some help, and we’re going to do that.” Boscov said the company has been remodeling stores gradually over the years. He noted the Hazleton area store in the Laurel Mall was remodeled just a couple of years ago.

such as hefty fines or more frequent maintenance shutdowns. But Epstein did question whether PPL could have avoided some violations altogether if the company wasn’t “flying solo” when it came to sharing best-practice information with other plants in the nuclear industry. Barbara DeRonde, who owns land adjacent to the power plant, said she recently walked close to the cooling towers with a group of people.

Payment is higher this year because county never paid $6.1 million of last year’s subsidy to the fund for retired employees. By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Luzerne County taxpayers owe $14.4 million to the employee pension fund this year because $6.1 million of last year’s subsidy was never paid. If the 2011 contribution isn’t turned over soon, pension-fund holdings must be liquidated to free up cash to cover expenses, county pension adviser Richard J. Hazzouri said during Thursday’s retirement board meeting. That option is frowned upon because the fund loses potential investment return on the forced-sale assets. Pension subsidies have been a contentious topic since county taxpayers started shoring up the fund in 2002. Stabilizing was necessary because employee contributions and investment returns haven’t kept pace with guaranteed payouts County retireto present and future retirees.

NANTICOKE – City Council on Wednesday night approved the first reading of ordinance 3-2012, which would establish permit parking only on areas of Coal Street, Hill Street and Orchard Street. The permits, which would be paid for by the council, would make parking in those areas available solely to the

residents. At present, residents of those streets often have great difficulty in finding parking near their homes because of parking by Luzerne County Community College culinary students.

What appeared to be oil illegally dumped in a storm drain flowed into a portion of Hicks Creek in Exeter, said state Department of Environmental Protection spokeswoman Colleen Connolly. A contractor Thursday placed absorbent booms at the point where the creek flows into the Susquehanna River to contain the spill. DEP emergency response personnel were in the area of Steven’s Lane investigating the dumping. ‘We have not determined who put it there yet,’ she said. If DEP cannot determine who is responsible, it will contact the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for assistance. ‘No homes are being evacuated and there’s nothing in the air to cause eye irritation,’ said Connolly.

Coroner: Houston’s death a drowning The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Whitney Houston was a chronic cocaine user who had the drug in her system when she drowned in a hotel bathtub, coroner’s officials said Thursday after releasing autopsy findings that also noted heart disease contributed to her death. The disclosure ended weeks of speculation about what killed the Grammy-winning singer on Feb. 11 on the eve of the Grammy Awards. Houston was found submerged in the bathtub of her room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, and her death was ruled accidental. Several bottles of prescription medications were found in her hotel room, but coroner’s officials said there weren’t excessive quantities.

I-81 fatal victim identified

A man walking along the southbound lanes of Interstate 81 was killed when he was struck by several vehicles Wednesday night. The Luzerne County Coroner’s Office identified him as 52-year-old Darren Simonson of Plains Township. Acting Luzerne County Coroner William Lisman said Simonson was pronounced dead at the scene at 9:35 p.m., a short distance from the Exit 170B ramp in Plains Township. State police at Wyoming said Simonson was struck by a vehicle and possibly other vehicles at about 8:35 p.m. Simonson’s death was ruled an accident by the coroner’s office. The southbound lanes of Interstate 81 were closed for more than three hours before they reopened at 11 p.m. Anyone who may have witnessed the incident is asked to call state police at Wyoming at 697-2000.

Study critiques drilling regs

A study by two Wilkes University institutes finds Pennsylvania’s new rules governing the natural gas industry fall short in providing safeguards and advantages to local governments. The Institute for Public Policy and Economic Development and the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research for Northeastern Pennsylvania jointly released a 20-page report that comments on key provisions of the new impact-fee law, Act 13. Weaknesses cited include provisions that strip municipalities of land-use planning and local control, provisions that give local government an option as to whether to impose the fee, and to choose the fee, which caps at 2.5 percent regardless of market price increases. Other criticisms cited include the regulations’ failure to establish protective measures for air pollution control, pipeline rights of way, and compressor station isolation distance. The regulations also allow more drilling on state land and fail to account for impacts to counties suffering from pipelines, congestion and social dislocations. Among the strengths noted are provisions that allow counties and municipalities to receive revenue to offset impacts. WASHINGTON, D.C.

Jensen gets planning board job By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Despite criticism from several residents, City Council appointed Christine Jensen to the city’s planning commission by a 3-2 vote Thursday night. In an unexpected development, Leonard Cornish was appointed to the same panel at the request of Councilman Tony George. That vote was 5-0. George and Maureen Lavelle voted against Jensen’s appointment, while Council Chairman Mike Merritt, Vice Chairman Bill Barrett and George Brown voted in favor. George said Jensen was a

good human resources director, but lacked the appropriate background needed to serve on the Jensen planning commission. He said Cornish has the proper background. Jensen, now the administrator at CareerLink, was not the choice of several residents. Frank Sorick, president of the Wilkes-Barre City Taxpayers Association, noted that Jensen “took the heat” for Mayor Tom Leighton last summer when it was learned that she was the

one who hired Leighton’s daughter, niece and nephew to summer positions. That action resulted in a complaint filed with the state Ethics Commission that would later clear Leighton. Sorick said Jensen also hired her daughter to a city summer job before she resigned. “Of course Mayor Leighton had nothing to do with the hiring of his relatives – he’s just the mayor,” Sorick said. “Of course he offered no input or direction.” Sorick quoted from the state Ethics Commission handbook See COUNCIL, Page 6A

A child of former Cuban dictator Fidel Castro raises awareness about country she left behind

A rebel’s daughter By EILEEN GODIN Times Leader Correspondent

WILKES-BARRE – Curiosity about a country and ruler brought many area residents out to hear Alina Fernandez, daughter of former Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, speak Thursday night at Wilkes University. Fernandez said it was her goal to raise awareness and encourage people to “Google” and learn about Cuba. “We are so close, but still so far away,” she said.

Accusations of being a traitor were easily pointed at immediate family members. At this time, Operation Peter Pan was initiated and about 14,000 children were sent to live with American foster families, she said. As a young girl, Fernandez remembers the “hairy-faced” people, who were the rebels, interrupting her morning programs. Eventually, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck disappeared from TV.

Alina Fernandez, the daughter of Fidel Castro, talks about growing up in Cuba and how she was able to leave in the 90s.

She did recall seeing on TV a man, blindfolded, wearing a shirt with dark spots. “It took me a while to realize what I saw was an execution,” she said. As a teenager, she was publicly recognized as Castro’s daughter, would frequently be given letters and messages from the people to take to Castro. He would tell her they were letters from traitors.

Castro’s power grew and he controlled the phone lines, education, land and food rations. Religion was abolished. Fernandez joined the dissident movement in 1989. She said that when her daughter was not allowed to receive an education, she decided it was time to leave. In December 1993, she disguised herself as a Spanish tourist and escaped.

Victim’s acquaintance accused in West Pittston burglary Woman allegedly crawled through dog door and stole money, credit card, which she used at Walmart. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WEST PITTSTON – A homeowner believes a woman she knows crawled through a dog door and rummaged through her house, stealing money and a credit card, according to charges filed. Police charged Mary Butera, 49, of Susquehanna Avenue, with burglarizing the home of Sharon Noone on Wyoming Avenue on Jan. 25. Charges of burglary, theft, receiving stolen property, criminal trespass and access device fraud were recently filed against Butera with District Judge Jo-

seph Carmody in West Pittston. The charges were mailed to Butera. According to the criminal complaint: Noone arrived home on Jan. 25 and noticed her laptop computer was moved, drawers open on numerous cabinets and money missing from a case. She told police she believed the burglar entered her house through a dog door. Mary Jo Hetro allegedly saw Butera in front of Noone’s residence when Noone was away. Hetro is identified in the complaint as Noone’s aunt. Noone said she sent a text message to Butera asking if she was aware of a burglary. Butera responded with a text message, “At least they did not get your jewelry,” the complaint says.

Kayden Stowell was born a Penguins fan. Literally. During a Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins home game in March 2007, Kayden’s mother, Amanda, went into labor. The Penguins were playing Hershey that night, and Amanda waited until the end of the game before heading “They gave to the hospital where she would give birth him a jerto Kayden the next sey when day. “She wanted to see we got who won,” said her here, and husband, Doug.

After practice, Kayden visited the Penguins locker room and had the players sign his jersey before he left to have lunch with Tux. He and his family will attend Saturday’s game as guests in the Penguins’ Suite before stopping by the locker room for a final farewell from the players. It’s a dream weekend for a child who was born a Penguins fan. See FAN, Page 6A

Noone said she did not tell anyone what was stolen from her house except police. Noone and Butera exchanged a series of text messages in which Butera allegedly stated she would leave Noone’s items on a porch, according to the complaint. Police allege Butera stole Noone’s credit card, which she used to purchase items at Walmart in Pittston Township and tried to use at Walmart in Taylor. In an unrelated case, Butera is serving a probation sentence that expires in April on a retail theft charge, according to court records. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on April 4.

Delegate poaching eyed

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum fiddles with an Etch A Sketch as he speaks to USAA employees during a campaign stop Thursday in San Antonio. Santorum used the toy to refer to remarks made by a staff member working for rival candidate Mitt Romney.

Springing ahead to camping season

Campers Jacob Criner and Yoko Chaumont of Cheverly, Md., celebrated the beautiful spring weather Wednesday by pitching a tent at New Germany State Park. They were the first to camp at the park this season. New Germany opened the campground three weeks earlier than scheduled because of unusually high temperatures for this time of year. HARRISBURG

WASHINGTON — Rick Santorum is falling so far behind Mitt Romney in the race for Republican delegates that his best chance might be in states that voted weeks ago. The chief rival to the front-running Romney, Santorum is trying to improve his lot in places like Iowa and Washington, where local caucuses were just 2 0 1 2 the first step in deterELECTION mining delegates to the Republican National Convention. In those states and a few others, supporters are now preparing for county, congressional district and state conventions, where the campaigns hope to keep their delegates — and possibly poach some. Santorum trails Romney by 300 and would need to win 74 percent of the delegates in the remaining primaries to clinch the nomination before the national convention in August. So far, Santorum is winning just 27 percent, according to the

tally by The Associated Press. But the former Pennsylvania senator’s campaign predicts that he will significantly increase his delegate haul in caucus states, primarily at the expense of Romney. “If you believe the Romney campaign’s spin that they have this superior organization, but yet they’re losing these con-

tests, it must mean they have a deficient candidate who is unable to appeal to the base of the party,” said John Yob, Santorum’s national delegate director. Romney’s backers question whether Santorum has a sufficient organization to compete in upcoming primaries while also trying to rally supporters in states that held caucuses weeks or months ago.

Sandusky: Toss the charges

erry Sandusky asked a judge ThursPortuguese protest austerity moves day to throw out the child sex abuse Jcharges against him, arguing some

counts are not specific enough, evidence is lacking in others and the statute of limitations may have run out regarding eight of the 10 alleged victims. The catch-all pretrial motion also sought to delay the May 14 start of his trial, saying more time was needed to prepare a defense. Nils Frederiksen, a spokesman for the state Attorney General’s Office, said the document was under review, and prosecutors planned to respond in writing within a week. An April 5 court proceeding in Bellefonte has been scheduled to hash out any remaining disputes. Sandusky, 68, is confined to his home in State College while awaiting trial, and has denied the allegations against him. He is accused of sexually abusing 10 boys over a 15-year period, including sexual assaults. SANFORD, FLA.

Teen death chief quits

The embattled police chief at the center of a fatal neighborhood watch shooting temporarily stepped down Thursday, saying he had become a distraction to the investigation. Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee has been heavily criticized after his officers decided not to arrest George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer who shot an unarmed black teen to death on Feb. 26. The shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin has sparked several protests, and city commissioners gave the chief a “no confidence” vote on Wednesday night. Zimmerman claims the shooting was self-defense. He told police Martin attacked him after he had given up on chasing the teenager and was returning to his SUV. MOSCOW

Russian criticizes Assad

Syrian President Bashar Assad must take the first step toward settling his country’s yearlong conflict by pulling his forces out of cities and allowing humanitarian assistance, a senior Russian lawmaker said Thursday, in a statement that signaled a marked shift in Moscow’s stance. The comments by Mikhail Margelov, the Kremlin-connected chairman of the foreign affairs committee in the upper house of Russian parliament, indicated Moscow’s increasing impatience with Assad and its eagerness to raise pressure on an old ally. GIGLIO, ITALY

5 more bodies found

Search crews found five more bodies in the wreck of the Costa Concordia cruise ship, which struck a reef off an Italian island in January, officials said Thursday. The discovery raises to 30 the number of bodies found. Two people remain missing and are presumed dead. The latest bodies were all found in spaces between the hull and the seabed off the Tuscan island of Giglio, according to the Italian Civil Protection agency, which is coordinating search operations. Since the Jan. 13 capsizing, the Concordia has been lying on its side, half submerged in water near Giglio’s port.

House axes Medicare cost board Panel would have the power to force cuts to service providers like drug companies if costs rise too much. By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Drawing a new election-year fault line between the parties, the Republican-controlled House voted Thursday to repeal a Medicare cost-control board that has yet to be named but is called for in President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul law. The GOP has branded the Independ-

ent Payment Advisory Board a rationing panel, and Republicans hope the symbolic 223-181 vote to repeal it will persuade seniors that they, and not the Democrats, are the best stewards of Medicare. IPAB would have the power to force cuts to service providers like drug companies if Medicare costs rise beyond predetermined levels. A Republican Medicare plan announced this week would also limit Medicare cost increases, but rely more on market competition. If it sounds like a debate among Washington insiders, Rep. Jack Kingston, RGa., said he would have no trouble explaining to constituents why he voted to

repeal the board. “Do you remember death panels?” said Kingston, referring to the debunked accusation by former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin that Obama’s health care law would allow bureaucrats to withhold life-saving care. “It’s not necessarily a death panel, but it is a rationing panel and rationing does lead to scarcity for some,” he added. The health care law explicitly bars the board from rationing care, shifting costs to Medicare recipients or cutting their benefits. But critics say squeezing service providers will stifle medical innovation, achieving a similar result.

Two more chains join pink slime exodus Kroger Co., Stop & Shop say they will no longer sell beef that includes additive.

By MAE ANDERSON AP Retail Writer

NEW YORK — Supermarket chains Kroger Co. and Stop & Shop said Thursday they will join the growing list of store chains that will no longer sell beef that includes an additive with the unappetizing moniker “pink slime.” Federal regulators say the ammonia-treated filler, known in the industry as “lean, finely textured beef,” meets food safety standards. But critics say the product could be unsafe and is an unappetizing example of industrialized food pro- “Our cusduction. tomers The Kroger Co., the na- have extion’s largest pressed traditional grocer with 2,435 their consupermarkets cerns that in 31 states, althe use of so said it will stop buying the lean finely beef, reversing textured itself after saying Wednesday beef… is that it would something sell beef both with and with- they do out the addi- not want in tive. their Earlier Thursday, Stop ground & Shop said beef.” that while the U.S. DepartKroger Co. ment of Agristatement culture has said the product is safe for consumption, it will stop selling the beef due to customer concerns. The chains joined Safeway, Supervalu and Food Lion, among others, who have said they won’t sell beef with the filler. “Our customers have expressed their concerns that the use of lean finely textured beef — while fully approved by the USDA for safety and quality — is something they do not want in their ground beef,” Kroger said in a statement. “As a result, Kroger will no longer purchase ground beef containing lean finely textured beef.” The low-cost ingredient is made from fatty bits of meat left over from other cuts. The product is exposed to ammonium hydroxide gas to kill bacteria. Though the term “pink slime” has been used pejoratively for at least several years, it wasn’t until early March that social media suddenly exploded with worry. Wal-Mart Stores Inc., which sells more food than any other retailer, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

More Komen executives leave after controversy By JAMIE STENGLE Associated Press

DALLAS, Texas — At least five high-ranking executives with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer charity have resigned in the aftermath of the organization’s decision to eliminate its funding for Planned Parenthood. The departures include three officials from Komen’s Dallas headquarters, as well as CEOs of affiliate groups in Oregon and New York City. Although some of the executives cited personal reasons, the resigna-

tions suggest that Komen is still in turmoil, even after restoring the money. Komen spokeswoman Leslie Aun said she could not speak to individuals’ reasons for leaving but acknowledged the effects of the controversy among supporters. “Obviously, we know some folks are upset. We’ve certainly seen that,” Aun said. “We know people have been upset by recent events, but most really do recognize the importance of our work.” The resignations began

about a month ago. Chris McDonald, executive director and chief executive of the organization’s Oregon and southwest Washington affiliate, announced that she’ll leave at the end of April. She said her decision wasn’t “predicated by any one event,” but that actions by national headquarters affected her thinking. Some Komen affiliates, including McDonald’s, were among those that publicly opAP FILE PHOTO posed the policy change that cut off grants for Planned Par- A small group of women protests outside the Susan G.

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com Karen Ceppa Hirko addresses Wilkes-Barre City Council during the public comment session. Hirko, who lost a bid to become the city controller in November, said Christine Jensen is unqualified to sit on the planning commission. Council appointed Jensen to the city’s planning commission by a 3-2 vote Thursday night.

regarding conflicts of interest that defines that as “a public official or public employee” using the authority of their position for the “private pecuniary benefit” of himself/herself to hire a member of his/her family. “I beg this council to not appoint a highly unethical person to a panel to make decisions for this city,” Sorick said. Bob Kadluboski, the city’s former towing contractor, looked at Barrett and said, “The fix is in, Bill.” Barrett was absent from the last council meeting when Jensen’s appointment failed by a 2-2 vote. Council was scheduled to meet March 29, but Barrett requested it be moved to Thursday because he would be unable to attend next week. Council obliged and Jensen received three votes. Karen Ceppa Hirko, who lost a bid to become the city controller in November, said Jensen is unqualified to sit on the planning commission. “These positions should not be handed to individuals chosen in secret by the mayor due to their affiliation with him,” Hirko said. “You (council) continue to have your ac-

Scopelliti disagreed with Epstein’s statement and wasn’t sure what Dean meant in his characterization. Scopelliti said PPL is a member of the Utilities Service Alliance, described on the alliance website as “an independent operator fleet” of 17 nuclear power plants in the United States, and the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations, an organization whose employees “help the nuclear power industry achieve the highest levels of safety and reliability.” Scopelliti said PPL Susquehanna has employees who participate in benchmarking – vis-

“They gave him a jersey when we got here, and he just lit up,” said Doug. “It means a lot to see the smile on his face.” Kayden’s smile grew even bigger when he stepped on the ice after practice and was joined by several players. Along with his brother, Joshua, who is 2, Kayden passed the puck around with Ryan Craig, Alexandre Picard, Scott Munroe and Joey Mormina. He even managed to get a shot past Munroe on a few occasions. Needless to say, they were goals that the Penguins net minder didn’t mind giving up. “When you see the reaction and the happiness from him, it’s a lot of fun,” Munroe said. “We have as much fun as they do just seeing them smile.” Thursday’s visit was the first time the Pen-

It likely won’t be the last, said Maggie O’Brien, regional manager for the Make-A-Wish office in Scranton. “The team and organization have been incredibly accommodating and they rolled out the red carpet for Kayden and his family,” she said. “Now that we’ve opened the door and explored the partnership, I don’t see why we can’t do more with the Penguins.” That would be fine with Craig, who has kids of his own and said spending time with Kayden and his family hit home. “The moment Kayden stepped on the ice he was so excited and started to smile, and it was our privilege to meet him and his family,” Craig said. “Hockey players in general on any team always enjoy doing these things. When you see a little boy like Kayden, and you can make his day by spending a little time with him, it’s very special.”

said. Scopelliti noted that Unit 1 was moving from the “degraded cornerstone” designation to the second-highest safety level – “regulatory response” because progress was made. Still, the NRC will continue ramped-up inspections until and unless Unit 1 moves into the top safety level, but not to the level necessitated by the degraded cornerstone designation.

The state Department of Environmental Protection said Thursday it approved a permit to expand the Small Mountain Quarry, setting the stage for Pennsy Supply Inc. once again to present its project to Dorrance Township officials. It will be the third time the company asked to expand. The courts denied the company’s first special exception request. Township supervisors suspended hearings on the second application to allow the company to conduct further environmental testing and seek DEP approval. Patrick Bartorillo, president of Pennsy Supply’s north region, said he was optimistic it would meet with the approval of township officials and prevent the elimination of approximately 150 well-paying jobs. “I think we have a great plan,” he said. It incorporates concerns raised by the township and includes steps the company will take such as: directing storm water from Balliet’s Run, enclosing rock crushing equipment to reduce noise and dust, and raising the mining depth 20 feet higher to 1,230 feet. The company produces highgrade construction aggregate stone used in paving and concrete. If the expansion is approved, the quarry will be able to operate for another 20 years. It is getting close to running out of material. “Our reserve situation is not very good,” said Bartorillo Pennsy dropped off its conditional use application to the township on Thursday, he added. “We will go before the planning commission as soon as they are able to see us,” he said. That hearing will likely be held April 30, said Ben Ostrowski Jr. a township supervisor. He received a copy of the application but has not gone over it yet in detail. “The plan has changed from the second application drastically,” said Ostrowski. The planning commission will scrutinize the application and make a recommendation to the supervisors who will schedule hearings, he explained. .

COURT BRIEFS WILKES-BARRE – A man and woman charged with neglecting and sexually abusing a 13-year-old boy over a severalyear period will stand trial on related charges on Aug. 6. Robert Caravella, 52, and Carol Ann Hann, 44, of Plymouth, were originally scheduled to stand trial on April 23. Their trial was continued Thursday at the request of their attorney, Andrew Katsock. Judge Tina Polachek Gartley said a hearing on any requests in the case will be held on July 13. The pair were charged in August 2010. The boy alleged at a preliminary hearing that Caravella introduced him to pornography when the boy was 8, and shortly thereafter Hann began forcing him to perform lewd sex acts on her.

WILKES-BARRE – A preliminary hearing for a Plymouth man accused by city police of two drive-by shootings on South Sherman Street was continued Thursday to May 2 in Central Court. Police alleged Joseph Corbett III, 32, of East Main Street, fired multiple shots into a residence at 19 S. Sherman St. and a vehicle on Feb. 7 and again on Feb. 13. Corbett’s ex-girlfriend and her family reside at the residence.

Fennick leaves Marino’s communications’ office to work for Barletta She will replace Stefanie Pollock. It’s the second high-profile change in Barletta’s organization this year. By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

HAZLETON – Renita Fennick, who has served as communications director for U.S. Rep. Tom Marino since January of 2011, will replace Stefanie Pollock as district director for U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta. Pollock is leaving Barletta’s staff to take a position in the private sector. Fennick, who is a past executive director of the Luzerne County Republican Party, will start her new job on April 9. “Renita brings a wealth of local knowl-

edge and regional experience to my office, and I’m pleased to welcome her to my team,” Barletta said. “I’ve known Renita for many years. She is committed and dedicated to improving the lives Fennick of people in Northeastern Pennsylvania and I think she will make an excellent district director.” It’s the second high-profile change in Barletta’s organization this year. In January, Patrick Rothwell left as Barletta’s chief of staff in Washington, D.C. He was replaced by Andrea Waldock. Barletta is running for his second term in the 11th Congressional District. He has no opposition in the Republican primary. In

November he will face the winner of the Democratic primary contest between Bill Vinsko, a resident of Wilkes-Barre, which is outside the 11th District, and Gene Stilp, an activist from the Harrisburg area noted for bringing an inflatable pink pig to protests. Fennick, 52, worked at The Citizens’ Voice and Times Leader newspapers in Wilkes-Barre, and was city editor of The Times Leader until 2009, when she left for the county Republican Party post. She lives in Wilkes-Barre Township and has two grown children, Ken and Chrissy Pepperling. “I look forward to working with Congressman Barletta as he continues to provide excellent service to his constituents in the 11th District,” Fennick said. “His dedi-

cation and commitment to the people he serves is inspiring, and I hope to do him justice in this position.” The district director is responsible for Barletta’s offices in the 11th District, including constituent services, outreach and staffing. Barletta has three district offices, in Hazleton, Wilkes-Barre and Taylor. Barletta said Pollock was instrumental in setting up the offices and in establishing hours that allow constituents to meet with office representatives closer to their homes. “She spent many hours attending meetings on my behalf, meeting with elected officials and constituents, and supervising the entire district staff,” Barletta said. “She worked even harder after the historic flooding in September.”

Pringle woman pleads guilty in 2011 slaying By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE -- A Pringle woman charged in the shooting death of her boyfriend in March 2011 pleaded guilty Thursday to a third-degree murder charge. Kathleen Jordan, 49, of Valley View Drive, entered the plea before Luzerne County Judge William Amesbury. Jordan, when sentenced on June 12, faces 20 to 40 years in prison. Her trial on an open count of homicide was set for Jordan April 2. Investigators say Jordan killed Milo Vincent Reilly, 45, inside their Pringle home on March 8. The couple had been in a relationship for 18 months, investigators said. Jordan allegedly told investigators she left the house after an argument with Reilly. She said she returned later that night and had to smash a window to get in. She said the argument continued. Reilly was on a bed, Jordan told investigators, when she reached into a closet and grabbed a loaded shotgun that she fired at his head, according to the affidavit. Jordan later described for investigators how she tried to clean up the blood and drank a beer before running to her sister’s home in Luzerne, where police were called. Kingston police had charged Reilly with assaulting Jordan during a domestic dispute at the home in December. Defense attorney Demetrius Fannick said at the time of Jordan’s preliminary hearing in April 2011 there was a history of Reilly being violent toward Jordan. Jordan will be required to pay $3,407 in restitution as part of her plea agreement, and is to have no contact with Reilly’s family.

Karen McCann, charged in a deadly hit-and-run, was jailed for bail violation. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A Kingston woman, charged in a deadly hit-and-run, who violated the terms of her bail last month and was jailed at the county prison, posted her $50,000 bail Thursday. Karen McCann, 33, appeared before County Judge William Amesbury, and was released from the county prison with several conditions to follow. McCann faces a July 2 trial on homicide by motor vehicle and other charges stemming from a June 2011 incident in which 64-year-old Aloysius McLaughlin McCann faces was killed. Police said a July 2 trial McCann was on homicide driving a by motor Chevrolet vehicle and Trailblazer other charges that struck McLaughlin, stemming who was from a June working as a 2011 incident. landscaper in front of a home at 173 Third Ave. in Kingston at the time. Prosecutors say McCann had cocaine and prescription medications in her system at the time. She had been participating in the county’s Day Reporting Center last month, when she tested positive for cocaine, prosecutors said. Her bail was revoked and she was lodged at the county prison. On Thursday, McCann posted bail and was ordered to continue to take part in the Day Reporting Center and to wear an ankle bracelet. While at the reporting center, McCann would report six days a week, receive assistance in obtaining a job, participate in rehabilitation and be tested routinely for drugs and alcohol. Amesbury also prohibited McCann from driving and ordered she adhere to a 9 p.m. curfew. The judge has previously said the case may come to a plea agreement before the July trial, but he has scheduled the trial just in case.

PITTSTON – British clothier Boden has opened its first U.S. outlet store in downtown Pittston. The London-based company that sells clothing for men, women and children primarily by mail-order, in December began selling overstock on weekends in the Open Space building on South Main Street. What started as an experiment is now becoming more permanent, with the company planning a grand opening on Saturday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. “We’ve been very busy so far,” said Holly Kelleher, liquidations manager for Boden. “We haven’t done any advertisement as of yet about opening the space and we

already have some regular customers. It’s been very well received so far, so I can only imagine now that we have a little bit of advertising behind us that it will be very well received.” In 2008 Boden opened its only call and distribution center in the United States in the Center-

Point Commerce and Trade Park in Jenkins Township. Two years later, the company announced plans to more than double the size of its warehouse and add 60 new jobs to the work force of 140. The store started out as an idea floated by Pittston’s Redevelopment Authority, which approached Boden about holding occasional sales in the Open Space, a former dress factory turned multipurpose building the authority hopes will inspire redevelopment and growth of the city’s downtown. “For some of the local businesses around us, we’ve made ourselves kind of a flagship store, and it’s already increased the traffic to other stores,” she said.

Shickshinny might get boost from federal loan after flood costs cut into services By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

Shickshinny may be eligible for a federal loan to keep the borough running as it recovers from the flood of 2011. The flood-rattled town has cut back on services to pay for disaster recovery, but a loan from the Federal Emergency Management Agency might help it maintain those services through its recovery. The Community Disaster Loan Program provides operational funding to help local governments that have incurred a significant loss of revenue due to a major disaster that has affected or will adversely affect their abil-

ity to provide essential municipal services. The money may be used only for services, not construction or repair costs. The maximum amount the borough can borrow is the smallest of three figures: • 25 percent of its 2011 operating budget, about $75,000. • The borough’s cumulative estimated revenue loss for 2011 and the subsequent three years. • $5 million. The loans come with a fiveyear repayment schedule, which may be extended to 10 years, and an interest rate equal to the treasury-department rate for fiveyear maturities on the day the loan is issued. That rate is cur-

rently 1 percent. Shickshinny has applied for assistance and is now working with a consulting firm appointed by the FEMA, Hagerty Consulting Firm, to determine whether the borough qualifies for the aid, according to borough secretary/ treasurer Melissa Weber. To qualify, the borough must show a loss of greater than 5 percent of tax and other revenues for

the current or following year as a result of a major disaster, and show that the disaster adversely impacted the level of essential services previously provided. Weber called the assessment “a no-brainer” because the borough clearly qualifies. Weber said Shickshinny, which has an annual budget of about $296,000, has spent more than $90,000 in flood-related expenses

to date. “We’ve cut our services more than in half,” Weber said. “We can no longer pick up leaves and grass clippings; our road crew has been knocked down from 36 hours to 18; I’m down to 12. Everyone’s doing their part.” The borough has taken out a $50,000 tax anticipation loan. She called the federal loan program “a godsend.”

OUR OPINION: LITTERED LANDS

Help give area a pick-me-up

F YOU’RE BOTHERED by the trash strewn along area roadways, if the sight of beer bottles and fastfood wrappers discarded on Luzerne County’s stream banks makes your heart sink, you are not alone. Lots of area residents cringe at the way certain piggish people casually litter our landscape. This spring, join with the hundreds, even thousands, of kindred spirits who do more than carp about the mess. Participate in one or more of the trash pickups planned in March and April as part of the annual Great American Cleanup of Pennsylvania – a volunteer-powered campaign to rid parks, playgrounds and other public places of castoff stuff. Find out what activities are planned in your neighborhood by visiting this website: www.gacofpa.org. So far, the site lists about a dozen cleanups scheduled between now and May 1 in Luzerne County. Among the locations: Wilkes-Barre, WilkesBarre Township, Hazleton, Harveys Lake, Hanover Township and Duryea. Beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday, for example, participants are asked to help remove floodswept debris from the Kirby Park Natural Area and nearby riverfront parks in WilkesBarre. Organizers plan to scour the territory in preparation for late April’s Earth Day festival, when hundreds of school-age

children visit the site for environmental lessons. Similarly, at noon Saturday, trash bag-toting volunteers intend to start plucking refuse from Shickshinny Playground, at the corner of the borough’s Canal and Oak streets. Be advised: Collecting litter isn’t rocket science, but the task poses its share of risks. Beware of handling broken glass, heavy objects and sharp items as well as coping with passing traffic and other site-specific hazards: steep hills, swollen streams, etc. Would-be participants should contact the cleanup’s organizer to learn about any age restrictions, registration requirements and other expectations. Several area cleanups won’t be conducted until April, allowing plenty of time to enroll your friends, family members, school group, sports team, civic club or other organization. If no event is planned in your area, consider coordinating one. Or supplement this statewide cleanup effort with other community-beautifying activities. Remove graffiti. Plant flowers and trees. After all, this is your part of the planet; why allow it to look ugly?

QUOTE OF THE DAY “He’s a wannabe police officer. Why did he have a gun?” Benjamin Crump The lawyer for the family of slain teenager Trayvon Martin recently talked about George Zimmerman, who has been at the center of a growing furor over vigilantism, self-defense and racial profiling since he shot and killed the unarmed black youth.

Let’s get the word out about child abuse help

ith all of the child abuse cases and parents killing their children and babies, so many thoughts go through everyone’s heads. What can be done? How do we get more information out there? Unfortunately, I do not think the people who need help know about the proper channels. Most of the time when child abuse, or worse action, happens it is done by someone young who does not have family support. I believe there is a way to show people what they can do if they find they cannot take care of a child or baby. Fire stations, hospitals – there are so many options out there that keep your identity private; even if you drop off a baby, you can just leave and not tell anyone who you are. Between newspapers and radio, I think we can make people aware of all their options. What would it hurt if every month, or every other month, papers and radio stations let people know what they can do, so no more lives are taken?

EDITORIAL BOARD

changes Budget Committee Chairman Paul D. Ryan, R-Wis., proposes for Medicare, starting in about a decade. But it’s not the draconian outline Ryan offered last year, which would have replaced Medicare with insurance subsidies for the elderly that probably wouldn’t have kept pace with the rising cost of medical care. The new plan would preserve Medicare as an option but have private insurers compete with it for customers. Ryan points in the right direction in many areas, such as calling for eliminating tax breaks and lowering rates, reforming farm subsidies and consolidating federal job-training programs. But the political reality in Washington is that highly partisan proposals don’t get enacted. As ambitious as his plan is, it seems fated to wind up in the same dustbin. Los Angeles Times

scumbags get away with paying a portion of the money they stole, they keep the million-dollar home, the summer cottages, high-priced cars, the gifts to the kids, etc. Then they have the gall to say there isn’t enough money left to run the government, so taxpayers have to pay higher taxes yet again. It seems like it is time to feed the flag of freedom by taking the illegal profits away from the crooks, just like they take the proceeds from the little guy who sells drugs or robs the local market.

OR THE SECOND time in as many years, the House Republican leadership has put forward a deficit-cutting budget plan that’s more of a political statement than a governing blueprint. The proposed budget for fiscal 2013 promotes a long list of conservative policies that are only tangentially related to the federal finances – for example, repealing new federal restrictions on Wall Street and ending the moratorium on offshore oil drilling. Even the proposals that are purely fiscal in nature rely on changes in law that Senate Democrats won’t support, such as repealing the 2010 health care reform law. But then, the annual budgets proposed by the White House are largely political documents too. Democrats already are focusing their protests on the big

Wait for the government to brighten your world

was considering having the exterior of my home painted this summer, until I read that Wilkes-Barre is going to give building owners on gateway streets up to $5,000 each to improve the exteriors. Why, I thought, should I pay to paint my house when I can just wait around for the government to pay? The money will come from our local share of the state gambling tax. If you want help from the government, stop paying your mortgage, don’t paint your house and get on up to the casino. Remember, 55 cents of every dollar you lose goes to our state government. The more you lose, the more it has to help us. Before you know it, they will have enough money to paint every house in Wilkes-Barre. It will be so beautiful that people and businesses will flock to move into our city. Happy days will be here again. Bob McDougal Wilkes-Barre

welve years ago I got pneumonia and was a heavy smoker, but I quit. I was hospitalized and put on a ventilator for several days. Because of my smoking it took longer for my recovery and my lungs were damaged. Recently I was hospitalized for many problems, including my lungs. Cigarettes cost $5 to $6 a pack. A small percentage can be taken out of this cost so the smoker can get a free product to help him or her quit smoking. The smokers are the ones who paid for these cigarettes, so let’s all get together and help them quit. Jean Novak Nanticoke

Street paving must accommodate disabled

unicipalities in the Wyoming Valley are developing lists of streets to be paved this spring and summer. It is important to note that accessibility for people with disabilities must be included in these plans. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 requires that curb cuts be installed when paving through intersections, even if there are no plans to replace sidewalk corners. This mandate stems from a court decision in the early 1990s that determined resurfacing city streets constitutes an “alteration” in the language of ADA. As a result, cities were ordered to install curb

DOONESBURY: FLASHBACK

cuts on those portions of streets where resurfacing would take place, including retroactive requirements for those streets that had been resurfaced since Jan. 26, 1992, the effective date of ADA. Curb cuts are integral to the independence of people with disabilities. A domino effect occurs when citizens access sidewalks. One basic right leads to patronizing restaurants, shopping and participating in other community activities already enjoyed by the public. People with disabilities should contact their municipalities and inquire about paving plans, then determine if curb cuts will be installed. Anyone who discovers a potential violation can call the Northeast Pennsylvania Center for Independent Living at 1-800344-7211.

Fluke is true degrader of female population

hile the media focus on the bombast of a radio pundit, the most derogatory and demeaning comments regarding women have come from Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke’s faux testimony before the Democrats. Remember the context was that she was rejected as a presenter for a congressional hearing on religious freedom and then was allowed by the Democrats to hold a press conference at which she expounded on her progressive views. Borrowing a page from President Obama’s elitist playbook, she was not there for herself, but to represent her meek and ineffectual classmates. She related that 40 percent of the female student body at Georgetown was overwhelmed with the prospect of earning or budgeting for $20 of expenses a week. If credible, this level of ineptness would render these students incapable of matriculating through their basic course work. She stereotypes women who seek higher education as non-problem solvers who can’t speak for themselves and are just holding out for a big government program that will force the common taxpayer to help subsidize their lives. Those of us who come from families in which the women were the equal or stronger role model than their male counterparts find Ms. Fluke’s characterizations beyond offensive. Ms. Fluke has a right to speak out against religious freedom, a tenet that millions risked life and limb to get for our country, but she should not have to demean one half of the human species to do it.

Rebidding parking lot project saves airport $158,000 Work will add 130 paying spaces to more than 1,100 currently there. By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

At least 40 of the 61 furloughed workers are unionized, records show. Efforts to approve pay rates for the non-union staff at the airport have been brought up for numerous votes and failed over the past three years. Typically, Lackawanna County’s three representatives have been supportive, but the Lu-

Popple did submit a bid in this round, too, totaling $689,692 when factoring in the base bid and the alternate work. But even at $76,000 less than its bid of just seven months prior, it wasn’t low enough. Pikes Creek Site Construction was the third bidder, offering to do the work, which Centini be-

In some cases, Luzerne County officials have tried to sway Lackawanna County officials to vote for payments to fund the airport retirees’ pension fund in exchange for their supporting pay raises, but those efforts failed.

Airport engineer Steve Mykulyn said the airport’s parking woes will be taken care of at a savings from the original bid.

County officials are preliminarily exploring an early retirement incentive next year that could reduce payroll costs but increase the taxpayer subsidy. The state pension law allows the employee pension fund to pay for an early-retirement incentive every five years, and the last incentive was in 2008, when 127 employees retired. That incentive cost the fund $4.4 million over five years, Hummer said.

the head, Molins said. Three members of the elite squad were wounded Thursday, bringing the total of injured officers throughout the standoff to five. The SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors Internet messages, reported Thursday that a littleknownjihadistgrouphadclaimed responsibility for the attacks in France. Jund al-Khilafah issued a statement saying “Yusuf of France” led an attack Monday. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, speaking in Paris, announced tough new measures to combat terrorism. Sarkozy appealed to citizens not to equate the violent acts of extremists with France’s estimated 5 million Muslims. Muslim leaders urged against any backlash against believers. Sarkozy had alienated some Muslims with his push to ban Islamic face veils and by fanning debate about halal meat, and his strict immigration policies. Now, he may see his political fortunes improve due to this week’s dramatic events. Socialist Francois Hollande has long been the pollster’s favorite to unseat the conservative Sarkozy, but Hollande has little in the way of security credentials.

“Wilkes-Barre has always been good to us,” Boscov said. “The nice part about Wilkes-Barre is that it keeps getting better and better.” Boscov said the Wilkes-Barre store doesn’t do the same large volume as others – about $20 million per year. That ranks it 35th out of 40 Boscov stores. “It still does nice volume,” Boscov said. “But we would like to see it come up.”

More stress could be placed on the fund if county officials approve potential retiree cost-of-living increases and an early-retirement incentive. The law requires the board to consider a retiree cost-of-living increase every three years, though approval isn’t mandated. The last increase in 2009 is costing the fund $4.76 million over 10 years, Hummer said.

he will advocate for raises for county managers, too. “They’ve also sacrificed,” Williams said. Lawton said he stands by his vote and noted it was not a knock on those working at the airport, but a reflection that times are tough with budgets. When asked if the raises will likely be used by county managers as leverage for requesting raises, he said, “I will play the hand I’ve been dealt.”

Top-seeded Syracuse survives against Wisconsin By JIM O’CONNELL AP Basketball Writer

BOSTON — Top-seeded Syracuse used a breakout game by the slumping C.J. Fair to advance to the East Regional final. Wisconsin missed two potential winning shots in the final seconds, and the Orange hung on for the 6463 win Thursday night to reach the round of eight for the first time since

2003, when they won their only national championship. Fair, who had scored a total of 20 points in his last six games, finished with 15 on 7-for-9 shooting. Kris Joseph, a 75 percent free throw shooter, missed the front end of a 1-and-1 with 18 seconds to go with Syracuse up by a point, giving the Badgers a chance at the victory. Passing the ball around the perim-

eter of the zone but creating much space, Jordan Taylor let go a 3 with 3 seconds left. It bounced off the rim and Josh Gasser’s shot at the buzzer was off. Syracuse (34-2) plays Ohio State or Cincinnati in the regional final Saturday. A matchup of two very different styles of defense, the game came down to a final possession for the

Badgers (26-10), who finished 14 of 27 from 3-point range but couldn’t make one over the final 6 minutes. Scoop Jardine had 14 points for Syracuse, while Dion Waiters had 13 and Brandon Triche 11. Jared Berggren and Taylor both had 17 points for Wisconsin, which led Division I this season by allowing See SYRACUSE, Page 3B

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

Jones not so chipper announcing he will retire after this season By PAUL NEWBERRY AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK — Each time Tim Tebow steps on the field for the New York Jets, defenses will know what to expect. Well, the unexpected, of course. The versatile and elusive quarterback with the flair for dramatic victories was acquired Wednesday from the Denver Broncos and will give the Jets’ offense a boost — for at least a few snaps a game. “Instead of a team just preparing for our base offense, they will have to prepare for what we do and what we may do,” coach Rex Ryan said at LSU’s pro day Thursday in Baton Rouge, La. Tebow, who arrived at the Jets’ facility in Florham Park, N.J., for the first time Thursday afternoon, won’t start as he did in Denver, not with New York com-

during a news conference at the team’s spring training stadium in Kissimmee, Fla. “There’s nothing left for me to do.” Jones, who has spent his entire 18-year career with Atlanta, actually planned to retire after the 2010 season, only to change his mind. As he battled leg issues this spring, he openly wondered if he’d be able to make it through the season. So, he’ll give it one more year with the Braves, then become a full-time dad to his AP PHOTO three children. “I just want to make it final,” Jones Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones announces that he will retire follow-

ATLANTA — Flanked by his family, his former manager and a group of teammates he hates to leave behind, Chipper Jones choked up a bit and delivered the news that’s been looming for years: It’s time to call it a career. This time, he means it. With his 40th birthday approaching and a long string of injuries slowing him down, Jones announced Thursday he will retire after one more season as the Atlanta Braves’ third baseman. “I have fulfilled everything,” Jones said See JONES, Page 6B

ing the 2012 season during a news conference Thursday.

When Hall of Fame tailback Tony Dorsett was getting slammed to the turf in the 1970s, or Super Bowl-winning QB Joe Theismann’s leg was being gruesomely broken by Lawrence Taylor in the 1980s, it was just football. Now things are different. Scientific studies show head trauma can leave long-term damage. Hundreds of former players are suing the NFL in federal court, saying they weren’t protected properly from injury. Congress is paying close attention. Part of the reason the New Orleans Saints were punished so severely for their bounty system could be, as Commissioner Roger Goodell indicated when exSee SAINTS, Page 5B

Traditions collide in South Regional semifinal Kentucky and Indiana have collected 12 NCAA titles between them. By PAUL NEWBERRY AP Sports Writer

ATLANTA — At Kentucky, the bar is set a lot higher than most places. National championship or bust. “It’s Kentucky,” coach John Calipari said. “Do you expect anything else?” Tonight, the Wildcats will be matched against one of the few college basketball programs that can give them a run for passion and tradition. If Kentucky brings up Adolph Rupp, Indiana can quickly counter with Bob Knight. Few fans get as worked up about the game as those in the Bluegrass State — unless you happen be among those hoops-crazy Hoosiers. “There’s always been a special aura around and about Indiana to me,” said coach Tom Crean,

“and I would say the same thing about Kentucky.” With a dozen national titles between them (seven for the Wildcats, five for Indiana), this is about as good as it gets without actually being at the Final Four. Throw in some enticing subplots — from Crean leading a remarkable turnaround in Bloomington after the storied program fell on hard times, to Calipari positioning Kentucky for another title run with his latest one-and-likely-done dream team — and there’s no doubt the Georgia Dome will be rockin’ for this South Regional semifinal. But this is merely a prelude for the top-seeded Wildcats (34-2). Unless they are cutting down the nets in New Orleans, this season will be judged a failure. “You’re supposed to win every game by 25,” Calipari said. “If you’re winning by 15, what’s the issue? What’s going on with the program? If you lose, God forbid, lose one, how can we lose

this game?” Fourth-seeded Indiana (27-8) handed the Wildcats one of their defeats, a buzzer-beating 73-72 victory a couple of weeks before Christmas. While that was a mere speed bump for Kentucky on the way to finishing No. 1 in the rankings, the thrilling win was a huge boost to Indiana’s self-esteem. Yep, the Hoosiers are back. “I feel like we’re playing with a lot more confidence than we were playing with back then,” said junior forward Christian Watford, who hit the winning 3pointer against the Wildcats, a shot that has been replayed over and over on both sides of the Ohio River. Back in 2002, Indiana made a surprising run to the national championship game, held in the same mammoth building where the Hoosiers face the Wildcats. But that was a rare blip of success in the post-Knight era. Mike Davis didn’t last. Kelvin Sampson was forced out by allegations of serious NCAA viola-

tions. Taking over a program in tatters, Cream’s first team went 6-25 and managed only one win in the Big Ten. Over the last two seasons, it was still difficult to detect even a blip of light at the end of the tunnel. The Hoosiers went a combined 22-41 overall, just 7-29 in conference play. “When you’re coming off what we’ve dealt with the last couple of years, you have no choice but to treat every game as the most important game,” Crean said. “If you do that enough, it leads to moments like this.” Kentucky won 24 straight before losing to Vanderbilt in the championship game of the Southeastern Conference tournament. In a way, that might’ve helped the Wildcats, removing the burden of a winning streak before they headed off to the NCAAs. They barely broke a sweat in their first two games. “Their team is clicking on all cylinders,” Crean said. The Hoosiers coach is most impressed by the way Calipari

PHOENIX — Gorgui Dieng swatted away the West Region’s top seed to send Rick Pitino into another regional final. Chane Behanan scored 15 points and Dieng anchored Louisville’s stifling defense with seven blocked shots, helping the Cardinals knock off topseeded Michigan State 57-44 Thursday night in the West Regional semifinals. Louisville (29-9) smothered the NCAA tournament’s bestshooting team with its matchup zone, getting good pressure from its guards up top and some big swats by Dieng, one of the nation’s top shot-blockers. The Cardinals relied on 3point shooting in the first half and went inside the second to befuddle the Spartans, earning a trip to the West final against Marquette or Florida on Saturday. Michigan State (29-8) started slow and never got going against Louisville’s amoebic defense, shooting 28 percent while being outscored 20-14 inside by the leaner Cardinals. Dieng finished with five points, nine rebounds and had three steals. Peyton Siva overcame a rough shooting night — four points on 2-of-9 shooting — with nine assists. Draymond Green had 13 points and 16 rebounds in his final game for Michigan State and Brandon Wood added 14 points. This sweet matchup of top programs featured two of college basketball’s best shortpreparation coaches. Pitino has used his speed-theopponent-up system to reach the Final Four five times, becoming the first coach to lead

three different schools to the national semifinals. Once past the NCAA tournament’s first week, he’s had a knack for guiding his team farther along the bracket, advancing to the regional final all 10 times he’s gotten a team to the semifinals. Tom Izzo has been supremely consistent in 17 years at Michigan State, building teams that can handle the rigors of the Big Ten or switch to greyhound mode when the opponent plays fast. He’s been as consistent as any coach in the game, leading the Spartans to the Final Four six times, including the 2000 national title, and 10 trips to the regionals round the past 15 years. Izzo played the right hand the last time these two basketball brains met, taking the Spartans to the 2009 Final Four after they found a way to break Louisville’s pressure. Pitino had something up his sleeve this time. With Michigan State bogging the game down, the Cardinals struggled early, missing 12 of their first 13 shots. They snapped out of it by hitting 3s. Florida 68, Marquette 58 PHOENIX — Bradley Beal scored 21 points to lift Florida to a victory over Marquette and set up Gators coach Billy Donovan with a meeting against his old boss, Rick Pitino, in the West Regional final. The seventh-seeded Gators (26-10) expanded a six-point halftime lead to double digits, then held off third-seeded Marquette (27-8) to take their second straight trip to the regional final. Last year, they lost to Butler. This time, they meet Louisville and Pitino. Beal, a freshman who has

52.9 points per game. Syracuse reached that many points with 9 minutes to play but there were two lead changes and two ties still to come. Wisconsin, which averaged 7.7 3-pointers per game and has a season high of 15, hit one from beyond the arc on six straight possessions in the second half, the last of those by Taylor with 7:03 to play that gave the Badgers their last lead of the game, 59-56. Syracuse went ahead for good on a spin move by Waiters with 6:03 to play, but the lead was never more than three points. Gasser made two free throws with 31 seconds left to bring Wisconsin within 6463. The win was No. 890 overall for Jim Boeheim, third on the all-time list, and it was his 48th in the NCAA tournament, breaking a tie for fifth place with John Wooden. Fair, a 6-foot-8 sophomore forward who was the Orange’s fifth-leading scorer at 8.3 points per game, was 7 for 27 from field over the six-game stretch. The Orange had been struggling offensively as well, failing to reach 60 points three times in their last seven games.

— for the third year in a row — has molded a collection of high school stars into a powerhouse college team. Anthony Davis, Michael KiddGilchrist and Marquis Teague could very well be the latest

batch of Kentucky blue-chippers to stop off in Lexington for only a year on their way to the NBA. But they hardly come across as a bunch of kids worried about individual stats at the expense of the team’s success.

Louisville’s Chane Behanan celebrates his team’s 57-44 win over Michigan State in an NCAA men’s basketball tournament West Regional semifinal on Thursday in Phoenix. Behanan scored 15 points.

NBA written all over him, shot 8 for 10 and had six rebounds and four assists. Marquette got 15 points from Jae Crowder and 14 from fellow senior Darius Johnson-Odom, but the Golden Eagles exited the tournament in the round of 16 for the second straight year. Ohio State 81, Cincinnati 66 BOSTON — Deshaun Thomas scored 26 points and Jared Sullinger had 23 points and 11 rebounds to lead second-seeded Ohio State to a victory over No. 6 seed Cincinnati, putting the Buckeyes in the East Regional finals. Aaron Craft added 11 points

Syracuse won again without starting center Fab Melo, who was declared ineligible for the tournament by the school just days before the Orange opened with a shaky win over 16th-seeded North Carolina-Asheville. The 7-foot Melo missed three games in January, one of which was a loss to Notre Dame. The Badgers were trying to reach the regional final for the first time since 2005. Wisconsin, which basically uses a sixman rotation, was in foul trouble right away with Mike Brueswitz and Berggren both picking up two personals within the first 9 minutes. The Badgers took a 17-11 lead about a minute later, but Syracuse went on a 7-0 run capped by a 3-pointer by Waiters with 8:43 left. A 3 by Taylor gave Wisconsin a 23-22 lead with 5:37 left in the half. Syracuse went on an 11-0 run to get the pro-Orange crowd in TD Garden into the game. Fair and Waiters had four points each in the run and Jardine capped it with a 3 with 2:28 left. Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan didn’t call a timeout during the run because his players had already used two in the opening minutes, the first when Ryan Evans was trapped on the baseline 5:08 into the game and the second with 11:13 left when Gasser had trouble inbounding the ball. Syracuse took the Badgers off the hook near the end

— all in the second half — with five assists and six steals, taking charge during a 17-1 secondhalf run that turned a four-point deficit into a double-digit lead. Cashmere Wright scored 18 and Sean Kilpatrick had 15 for the Bearcats, who were attempting to match Big East rival Syracuse by beating a Big Ten opponent to advance to the round of eight. The top-seeded Orange advanced earlier Thursday by beating fourth-seeded Wisconsin at the TD Garden. It’s the first trip to the regional finals for Ohio State (30-7) since 2007, when it lost in the national championship game to Florida.

ST. LOUIS — Ohio is happy to make room for anyone who wants to jump on the bandwagon. Just don’t expect the Bobcats (29-7) to buy into that whole lovable underdog thing. Yes, they realize they’re the 13th seed, the only “little guy” left in a tournament that now looks like a who’s who of college basketball. They’re well aware it would take them another century or two to match top-seeded North Carolina’s tradition — they’re in the regional semifinals for the second time, while the Tar Heels have lost count of how many times they’ve been here. But they don’t much care. “Nobody in our locker room feels like we’re a Cinderella team,” D.J. Cooper said Thursday. “We feel like we can compete with anybody on the national stage.” Even North Carolina (31-5), their opponent tonight in the Midwest Regional semifinal. “They played some big-time opponents and haven’t been concerned about the name on the front of the jersey,” North Carolina coach Roy Williams said. “They have just played.” It would be easy to stereotype Ohio as one of those plucky little schools that catches a hot streak and a little bit of luck, but the Bobcats don’t look a whole lot different than they did during the regular season. Sure, their 3point percentage is markedly better than it was during the regular season, as is their free throw percentage. But Ohio has been playing the same type of nasty, pressure defense all year. Just ask Louisville, which needed a furious rally at the end of the game to hold off the Bobcats 59-54 back in November. Ohio is forcing more than 17 turnovers a game, and ranks

fourth in the country in steals (9.3). Opponents are averaging just 62 points, and the Bobcats have held 10 to 55 or fewer. South Florida, another Big East member, was held to 56 in the third round. Offensively, no one’s figured out a way to contain the silky smooth Cooper, who averaged 20 points, six assists and four rebounds in Ohio’s first two tournament games. “D.J. Cooper of course, because he’s really a gifted kid who, the last couple games, has really been dominant for them,” Williams said when asked what concerns him most about Ohio. “But they’re really a good basketball team. They guard you, they take the ball away from you, they rebound the basketball.” Adding to the challenge is North Carolina likely will be without dazzling point guard Kendall Marshall, who had surgery Monday to insert a screw in the right wrist he broke when he was fouled on a drive against Creighton last Sunday. The cast is off Marshall’s wrist, but he is still wearing a brace, hasn’t practiced and said Thursday that if the game were that night, he wouldn’t be able to play. “We have planned as if he’s going to play, and then obviously you got to have some type of contingency plans in your mind in terms of adjustment of offensive and defensive strategy,” Ohio coach John Groce said. “But it does make it difficult because, obviously, he makes them a different team.” With Dexter Strickland, Marshall’s backup, out since January with a knee injury, that leaves the Tar Heels with freshman Stilman White or Justin Watts. White, described by Williams as “a wacko,” appears to be the more likely option. Though White has played in all but four of North Carolina’s games, he’s logged double-digit minutes only once. He’s scored 23 points and dished out 19 assists, numbers Marshall comes close to matching in one game.

Wi ties Dufner for lead on 18th

Kozerski greets some fans

ORLANDO, Fla. — Charlie Wi felt a lot better walking off the golf course compared with his last round. So did Tiger Woods. Coming off a final round at Innisbrook in which he made a 13 on one hole, Wi hit an 8-iron over the water to 6 feet for birdie on the 18th for a 6-under 66, giving him a share of the lead with Jason Dufner in the Arnold Palmer Invitational. It’s the fourth time Dufner has been atop the leaderboard after a round during the Florida swing — except that none of those rounds have been on Sunday. The last time Woods was seen on the PGA Tour, he was being driven away in a golf cart after withdrawing in the middle of the final round at Doral with soreness and swelling in his left Achilles tendon. Woods, a six-time champion at Bay Hill, shot a 69 without breaking a sweat, much less breaking any body parts. There was nothing particularly special about this round, except for a 30-foot birdie putt that swirled around the cup at the 15th, and a couple of threeputt bogeys that kept his score from being lower. “I didn’t really do anything great today,” said Woods, who had only two approach shots inside 15 feet on the par 3s and par 4s. “I was just solid all day. I drove the ball well, hit my irons decent and putted all right. It’s just one of those days where not a lot was going on.” Maybe not in his group. Behind him, though, it was a different story. Phil Mickelson was all over the place, going from a bunker to a magnolia tree on his way to an unlikely par; hitting a tee shot out of bounds for double bogey; hitting into the water for another double bogey; and somehow escaping with a 73. In the group behind Mickelson, Anthony Kim made only two pars on the back nine for a 32 that shot him up the leaderboard. Kim followed two birdies with two bogeys, made two more birdies and then hit 5-iron on the 17th hole for an ace. He was leading until a pair of bogeys on the back nine gave him a 69, a good start for a guy who has been in the tank most of the year. “I’ve been running my head into a brick wall,” Kim said. “So I moved away from the brick wall, and now I can swing and make some birdies out here.” Nick Watney was on the opposite side of the course, and not as many people saw his 68. He was pleased to see some putts go in, which has contributed to his slow start this year. “I putted really well and it’s nice to do that because that’s been my Achilles this year,” Watney said. This is Woods’ last tournament before the Masters, where he has not won since 2005.

PITTSBURGH — Evgeni Malkin scored twice, James Neal had four assists and the Pittsburgh Penguins clinched a playoff spot with a 5-1 victory over the Nashville Predators on Thursday night. Chris Kunitz, Matt Cooke and Pascal Dupuis also scored to help Pittsburgh pull within a point of the New York Rangers for the top spot in the Eastern Conference with nine games remaining. Marc-Andre Fluery made 29 saves for his NHLleading 40th victory. Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby was held without a goal for the 12th straight game and failed to score a point, but it hardly stopped the Penguins from winning their ninth straight home game to keep the heat on the Rangers. Nashville’s Alexander Radulov scored in his return to the NHL after four years in Russia, but the Penguins picked apart Predators goalie Pekka Rinne. The league saves leader allowed two goals in the first 5 minutes. Nashville hopes Radulov will take some of the pressure off the always busy Rinne as the franchise gears up for the postseason. The talented 25-year-old left the Predators after the 2007-08 season to go home to Russia, where he won two MVPs and one title while playing for the KHL’s Salavat Yulayev Ufa. Radulov re-wrote the KHL record book — he’s the league’s career goals leader — before Nashville general manager David Poile lured him back to the team that took him in the first round of the 2004 draft. He made an immediate impact, scoring his first NHL regularseason goal since March 20, 2008, when he beat Fleury on a rebound midway through the second. One problem, all it did was cut Pittsburgh’s lead to 4-1. While Radulov might have become the best player in Russia, Malkin has developed into arguably the best player on the planet. Malkin needed less than 90 seconds to score in his fifth straight game, beating Rinne with a knuckling slap shot from the right circle to give Pittsburgh a quick lead. Rinne appeared to be in position to make the save only to watch the puck deflect off his glove and into the net. Less than 3 minutes later the lead was 2-0 as the red-hot Dupuis deflected a Kris Letang shot from the point between Rinne’s legs. Dupuis’ 22nd goal of the season extended his points streak to a career-best eight games. And just like that the NHL’s highest-scoring team was off the races. Cooke made it 3-0 early in the

second period following a nice drop pass from Neal, whose four assists were a career-high. Kunitz added his 22nd later in the period when his crossing pass attempt directed at Crosby deflected off Nashville defenseman Shea Weber’s skate and into the net.

Flyers 2, Capitals 1 PHILADELPHIA — Matt Read and Wayne Simmonds scored shootout goals to lift Philadelphia past Washington. Claude Giroux scored his 27th goal for the Flyers, and Alex Ovechkin had his 33rd for the Capitals. Read scored on the first shot of the shootout against Braden Holtby, and Matt Hendricks beat Ilya Bryzgalov on Washington’s first attempt. Giroux and Ovechkin were both denied and another round came up empty for both teams. Simmonds scored, and Bryzgalov stuffed Troy Brouwer to preserve the win. Bryzgalov stopped 30 shots and improved to 9-1-1 with a 1.23 goals-against average in March. The Capitals did pick up a point and have 81, putting them one ahead of Buffalo for eighth place in the Eastern Conference. Lightning 3, Oilers 2 TAMPA, Fla. — Teddy Purcell scored in the sixth round of a shootout, and Tom Pyatt had two goals in regulation in Tampa Bay’s victory over Edmonton. Steven Stamkos and Martin St. Louis also scored in the extra session. Ladislav Smid pulled Edmonton even at 2 with 3:47 left in regulation with his first goal in 38 games. Linus Omark also scored for the Oilers. It was the first time that Edmonton’s Nikolai Khabibulin, who stopped 19 shots, played in Tampa since Game 7 of the 2004 Stanley Cup finals, when he helped the Lightning beat Calgary 2-1 to win the team’s only NHL championship. Wild 3, Flames 2 ST. PAUL, Minn. — Devin Setoguchi scored in the fourth round of a shootout in the Minnesota Wild’s comeback victory over the Calgary Flames. Dany Heatley and Darroll Powe scored in regulation for the Wild. Josh Harding stopped 27 shots and all four Calgary shots in the shootout to hand the Flames their fourth straight loss Lee Stempniak and Anton Babchuk scored for Calgary, which failed to gain ground in the race for a playoff spot in the Western conference. Powe tied it at 2 with 7:37 left in the third when his shot trickled over the goal line. Officials originally ruled no-goal, but changed the call after a replay review.

plaining his decision, that nothing is as critical for the league right now as the safety of players and real concern about concussions. In the current climate, those issues seem to permeate every decision made at NFL headquarters. “They’re not unrelated. You can certainly see the rules of the National Football League have changed over the years. What used to be considered normal player conduct that could result in serious injury has been expressly prohibited by the rules,” Sen. Dick Durbin said in a telephone interview Thursday. “Teams are dramatically more sensitive now to concussions and how soon a player is ready to play again. It shows awareness of the fact that what happens on a football field is more than a game. Some of these injuries can have an impact on a person’s life. It also is an indication that those of us, as fans, should hold these leagues to a higher standard.” Durbin, an Illinois Democrat and the assistant Senate majority leader, is organizing a Judiciary Committee hearing to examine whether bounties in major sports should be considered a crime. He plans to invite wit-

mitted to Mark Sanchez. But Tebow gives the Jets the option to run offensive coordinator Tony Sparano’s wildcat offense — the one that confused teams while in Miami with the Dolphins — and provides an intriguing presence when games are on the line. “Tim is an outstanding football player, and we can use him,” Ryan said. “He’ll fit our wildcat package. As a defensive coach, I know how hard it is to defend the wildcat. We can take it to another level with Tim. We will have things for Tebow each week.” Consider that fair warning.

nesses from the NFL, along with officials from the NBA, NHL, NCAA and Major League Baseball. At an October 2009 House hearing on brain trauma in the NFL, Goodell was taken to task by lawmakers for not doing enough about concussions amid a growing body of medical literature linking head injuries in football with brain disease. That set in motion a series of changes to the league’s policies on head injuries — and they keep on coming. On Wednesday, a few hours after the NFL announced its unprecedented penalties against the Saints, the chairman of the competition committee, Atlanta Falcons president Rich McKay, talked about proposals that will be considered next week at the owners’ meetings in Palm Beach, Fla. Among them: • Allowing each team to designate one player per week who can go on the inactive list because of a concussion and be replaced on the roster. • Expanding the rule that prohibits horse-collar tackles to also have it cover quarterbacks who are in the pocket. • Expanding the protection of defenders from crackback blocks by also deeming them defenseless players who cannot be hit in the head or get hit by someone leading with a helmet. “The protection of the players is the big thing,” New York Jets

coach Rex Ryan said. “You don’t have a league without the players.” Goodell’s stern punishment of those involved in the Saints’ bounty system sent a message to everyone in the NFL: Do not encourage deliberately injuring players. Goodell also was harsh because of attempts to cover up the bounties.

“What we’ve seen from him, you’ve got to watch every time he’s in there,” Jets defensive end Mike DeVito said. “He has the ability to throw the ball and a great ability to run the ball, so any role we put him in, it’ll keep defenses on their toes.” DeVito and the rest of the Jets know that from experience. Tebow led a 95-yard winning touchdown drive against New York last November, scoring on a 20-yard scramble with less than a minute remaining. That set off a string of stirring comebacks as the Broncos rode Tebow’s incredible lategame play — despite his ugly mechanics and passing stats — all the way to the playoffs, including an overtime win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the opening

round. Long before all that, Tebow already had developed a faithful following that overlooked his flaws and focused on his leadership and ability to come through in the clutch. He’s bringing those same qualities to New York, but he’ll be in a different role. “They want me to come in and compete and get better, and get better as a quarterback and to help the team any way possible,” Tebow said Wednesday night. “Whatever that role is, I will do my best every time I step on that field and give my heart and soul.” Sanchez will get the snaps as the starting quarterback, and Ryan and general manager Mike Tannenbaum have told anyone who’ll listen that he is their un-

Source: Saints staffing shuffle in early stages NEW ORLEANS — A person familiar with the situation says there are three strong candidates on the Saints staff to step in as interim coach: defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr. and offensive line coach Aaron Kromer. As the Saints try to regroup from penalties handed down by the NFL for running a bounty program, the person said Thursday it’s still too early to tell how reassignments on the coaching staff and in the front office will shake out. The person spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Saints have not announced their plans. The league suspended Sean Payton for a year, general manager Mickey Loomis for eight games and assistant head coach Joe Vitt for six. New Orleans is figuring out how to move on.

AHL

A goal is on the Pens’ minds

WBS must decide who to put in the net with three games in three days. By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

Heading into a three games in three days stretch this weekend with a healthy lineup, WilkesBarre/Scranton Penguins head coach John Hynes isn’t left without a big decision. It’s unlikely that he will start goaltender Scott Munroe for all three games, but the question is when will Munroe sit and when will backup Patrick Killeen get the nod? Hynes said Munroe will start tonight’s game against Adirondack, but after that it’s up in the air. For now. “We’ll probably look to get Patrick in a game, but I don’t know if that will be Saturday or Sunday,” Hynes said after Thursday’s practice at Coal Street. Munroe said he’s started three games in three days in the past, but even he admitted the situation will have to play itself out over the weekend. “We’ll have to see how the questioned No. 1 guy under center. “Mark is a great competitor,” Ryan said. “He’s our starting quarterback. We’re incredibly fortunate to have two young quarterbacks with playoff experience and playoff wins. Mark has taken us to two AFC championship games in three years. That speaks volumes about him. He is just hitting his stride.” But Sanchez also is coming off a shaky season in which he had as many touchdown passes as turnovers: 26. His decision-making and leadership came under fire by fans, media and even some anonymous players in the offseason. After a quick flirtation with the idea of chasing Peyton Manning, the Jets issued a huge vote

Coming Up

games go and how I’m feeling each game,” Munroe said. “I expect to play two, three if need be.” Considering Saturday’s game is at 7:05 p.m. followed by a 3 p.m. start on Sunday, Hynes said that would be a difficult turnaround for Munroe to play both. He also expressed confidence in Killeen, who has made three starts in his rookie season and is 1-2, to step in with a strong performance when needed. “In my time here we never played a guy three in three,” Hynes said. “We feel like we always have another goalie that can play.” Considering a goaltender doesn’t skate up and down the ice like a forward, what is it about playing three games in three days that is difficult? Several things, Hynes said,

and they’re all related to mental and physical factors. “The goalie is the one player that’s on their feet for 60 minutes. They play the entire game and don’t get that break,” he said. “It’s also a lot harder on their groin with the pushing off and side to side. It’s a lot harder than it is for a player skating out.” A goaltender is also taxed mentally throughout a game because he has to be tuned in the entire time, Hynes added. Regardless of the mental and physical demands that come with the position, Munroe has enjoyed being the Penguins goto guy since Brad Thiessen was recalled to Pittsburgh late last month. For the month of March, Munroe is 5-2 and he has allowed just three goals in his last two starts. On the season, he is 17-6-3 and has only lost four times since the start of 2012. “It’s been nice to get back to the mentality of not wondering if you’re going to play, but knowing you are and preparing accordingly,” Munroe said. “It’s been a couple of years since I’ve been in a routine like this and I’m feeling good.”

of confidence to Sanchez by giving him a three-year contract extension. But less than two weeks later, New York traded for Tebow — a player with a rock-star persona and an impressive resume smattered with comeback wins. Just how secure Sanchez’s job is remains to be seen once he throws his first interception or has a bad drive. But what the Jets envision is Sanchez leading the offense and Tebow running the wildcat formation when they need a spark. “If our offense is sputtering, and we have, say, three threeand-outs, and we roll this out there and it’s successful, who knows?” Tannenbaum said on 1050 ESPN Radio on Thursday. “I

think it will just depend on the game and the situation.” Third-and-long? Put Tebow in to make defenses dare him to throw. Fourth-and-goal? Try to tackle the guy, who’s built more like a fullback at 6-foot-3 and 245 pounds. Oh, he’s in the wildcat, which Sparano so adores? Well, defenses need to decide if he’s going to take off running, hand it off or catch defensive backs napping with a toss over their heads. So, it could be five snaps a game. Or, seven. Maybe even nine or 10. One thing’s for sure: Tebow gives the Jets their first true multipurpose threat since Brad Smith, who left as a free agent last offseason.

Dunn clubs two HRs as Sox top Royals The Associated Press

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Adam Dunn hit a grand slam and a two-run shot off Bruce Chen, leading the Chicago White Sox to a 16-4 victory over a Kansas City Royals split squad Thursday. Chen allowed 10 runs and 10 hits in 4 1-3 innings. He struck out three and walked one. A.J. Pierzynski also homered off Chen in the fifth inning. Billy Butler hit his third home run of the spring in the fourth, a solo shot off White Sox starter Zach Stewart in the fourth inning. Angels 7, Royals (ss) 4 TEMPE, Ariz. — Kendrys Morales made his first appearance in an Angels’ lineup since May 2010 and had two hits in Los Angeles’ win over the Royals. Hitting right-handed, the switch-hitting Morales bounced a single off Royals lefthander Danny Duffy in the second inning. He then ran hard and slid safely into third on Bobby Abreu’s double to left. Morales added a sharp single to center field.

JONES Continued from Page 1B

said. He praised the Braves organization, calling Bobby Cox “the greatest manager any of us will ever know,” thanked team executives John Schuerholz and Frank Wren for building a perennial winner and fought back tears as he turned to his teammates. “I’ve been thinking about this and the reason I stayed around is you guys,” Jones said. “I played on teams where clubhouse cohesion wasn’t there. That never happened with you guys.” Around baseball, Jones was praised for this long, consistent career, which included the NL MVP award in 1999, an NL batting title in 2008, seven All-Star games — and, quite possibly, will include an induction ceremony at Cooperstown. Even fans of the rival New York Mets, who were continually battered by Jones as crowds in the Big Apple tried to rattle him by chanting his actual name (“Larry! Larry! Larry” was a familiar chant at old Shea Stadium), offered up nothing but respect. Jones already reciprocated by naming one of his children Shea. “He’s a great ballplayer who has always been a Mets nemesis,” said New York fan John Ring, speaking before Mets’ spring training game in Port St. Lucie, Fla. “I mean, he just tore them apart. He’s been an asset to the game, but as Mets fans we never wanted to see him in the lineup.” Mets third baseman David Wright grew up wanting to be like Jones, which didn’t change after they both wound up in the big leagues. “He’s been one of those guys where I always looked across and tried to take away some of the things from his game and apply it to mine,” Wright said. “He’s been so consistent, so good for so long and been part of a lot of great times. It’s going be a little odd looking across there and not seeing Chipper in uniform, that’s for sure.” New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, whose 17-year stint with one team is surpassed only by Jones among active players, has always been impressed by the way the Atlanta player carries himself: a wad of tobacco in his jaw, a batting glove always dangling out of his back pocket when he took the field. “He just looks like a ballplayer, you know? His actions, his mannerisms, ev-

erything he does,” Jeter said. “I really can’t say enough good things about him. The way he’s gone about his business, his consistency, how he took care of himself, what he means to the team. He could flat-out hit. He’s a Hall of Famer, for sure.” He should be a first-ballot selection, according to Cox, who attended the news conference with the only other manager Jones will have in his big league career, current Braves skipper Fredi Gonzalez. Schuerholz, the former general manager and now team president, and Wren are the only GMs of the Jones era. Stability meant a lot to the third baseman, who never seriously considered leaving the Braves. “To have two top executives and only two managers at one table after all these years says a lot about this organization,” Jones said. “There have been times when I could have gone into free agency to see if the grass is greener, but it never was.” While other players came and went, Jones was always the one constant in the clubhouse. “He was the face of the franchise,” said former teammate Andruw Jones, who’s now with the Yankees. “You don’t see it too much any more. It’s hard for players to stay with one organization.” No matter what happens in his final season, Chipper Jones will go down as one of the game’s greatest switch-hitters, a guy who could hit for average (.304 in his career) and power (454 homers and 1,561 RBIs). Shortly after reporting for what will be his final spring training, Jones marveled that he was still with the Braves with his milestone birthday coming up in April. “Never in my mid-20s would I have given myself a snowball’s chance to be in camp and have a job at 40 years old,” Jones told The Associated Press. “But I like to think I’ve kept myself in pretty good shape over the years. The skills are still there to go out and get it done. I don’t know for how much longer, but we’re going to ride it as long as we can.” That ride lasts one more season. The Braves said Jones hopes to remain with the organization in another capacity after his playing career ends, but it won’t happen next year. First, he plans to spend some long-overdue time with his family. But he’ll always stay involved in the game. While Jones has no desire to go into managing, he has indicated a desire to be hitting instructor some day.

TAMPA, Fla. — Move over Red Sox-Yankees, there’s a new rivalry brewing in baseball. The Washington Nationals are tired of Phillies fans taking over their ballpark, so they’re trying to ban those red-clad rowdies from purchasing tickets for the first series between the teams in May. Last month, the Nationals launched a “Take Back the Park” initiative designed to lock out Phillies fans. The team made tickets for a three-game series on May 4-6 available only to season ticketholders and local fans who reside in Washington, D.C., Maryland or Virginia. “Our campaign ignites what should be a natural rivalry between a great young team in Washington and an established veteran team in Philadelphia,” Nationals chief operating officer Andy Feffer told The Associated Press. “This is an opportunity to give our fans the chance to make Nationals Park uniquely ours — it’s our park, our team, our town and our time, and we want the hometown crowd to be here to be a part of it.” The initiative received more attention in Philadelphia than in D.C. It was front-page news in the Philadelphia Inquirer and a hot topic on sports talk radio. “The Nats, their manager and their fans are doing a lot of squawking for a team that has accomplished nothing,” said Glen Macnow, afternoon host on 94-WIP FM in Philadelphia. “Win a couple of games, show you’ve got more than just potential and get back to us.” The ticket campaign was just the start. Some of the Nationals then started talking trash in spring training. Manager Davey Johnson said he prefers his starting rotation over any in the league, adding that his top three pitchers match up with Philadelphia’s

star-studded cast. There aren’t many who would choose Stephen Strasburg, Gio Gonzalez and Jordan Zimmermann over Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels. But the Phillies weren’t offended. “He should take them, because that’s his only option,” Lee said. “It’s what he’s got to do.” Johnson’s boast may put some added pressure on his young pitchers. “Those guys have established their reputation and they’re bigname guys,” Gonzalez said. “We want to try and stay with them, try and compete with them, keep humble and fly under the radar and let everyone assume what they want to assume. That speaks highly of us that Davey would say that. It’s an honor. “At the same time, it’s a lot of shoes to fill.” The Phillies have captured five straight NL East titles, won the 2008 World Series and had the best record in the majors each of the last two seasons. The Nationals, on the other hand, haven’t had a winning record since 2003 when they were the Montreal Expos. It didn’t stop Washington’s Brad Lidge from making this bold statement on the team’s website. “Probably the most talented team I’ve ever been on, and I’ve been on some great teams,” Lidge said. Lidge is one of three Nationals who earned a World Series ring in Philadelphia. Outfielder Jayson Werth and reliever Chad Durbin also played for the ‘08 Phillies. Laynce Nix made a reverse move, traveling north on I-95 from Washington to Philadelphia. “It felt like home games for the Phillies,” he said of games at Nationals Park. As for the brash talk coming from the Nationals, Nix simply shrugged it off.

Lending up, but not biz spending

Pa. jobless rate steady

Pennsylvania’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 7.6 percent in February, unchanged from the January rate, the state Labor & Industry Department said Thursday. The U.S. rate was 8.3 percent. The state’s unemployment rate was down 0.4 percentage points from February 2011. Seasonally adjusted total nonfarm jobs in Pennsylvania were up 16,700 in February to 5,717,600. Nationally, new claims for unemployment benefits fell again last week to 348,000, a new four-year low as the economic recovery continues to accelerate.

By PALLAVI GOGOI AP Business Writer

NEW YORK — Since the credit crisis of 2008, everyone has been waiting for the banks to start lending money again. It’s finally happening, but there’s a catch: Businesses are afraid to spend it. Bank loans to businesses grew 10 percent last year after dropping 19 percent in 2009 and 9 percent in 2010, according to the Federal Reserve. JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo confirmed the growth in their latest financial results. But much of the loan growth comes from lines of credit, not traditional loans. And instead of tapping available credit to power up plants, open factories and hire people, businesses are “…(Business waiting. customers) At the same time, they are are still a hoarding cash. little uneasy JPMorgan, the about the nation’s largest future.” bank, is holding Perry Pelos a record $200 Wells Fargo billion in business deposits, up 26 percent last year alone. Wells Fargo and Bank of America also say deposits from middle-market businesses have soared. “Our business customers are feeling optimistic,” says Perry Pelos, head of commercial banking for Wells Fargo. “But I’m not seeing any boom yet because they are still a little uneasy about the future.” Bank loans play a vital role in powering what economists call a virtuous cycle. Banks lend to companies, which spend to open factories to create widgets. Plants mean jobs, which leads to more money in people’s pockets to spend. It re-energizes the economy. Small and midsize businesses depend on bank loans to grow far more than large corporations, which can pay for their plans by selling bonds or stock in the financial markets. On a bank’s books, a line of credit that a business can tap as needed counts the same as a traditional, lump-sum loan. While they don’t break out the numbers, banks say businesses are opening lines of credit but are skittish about drawing on them.

Mortgage rates on rise

The average U.S. rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage rose above 4 percent for the first time in five months. The sharp increase suggests the window to buy or refinance a home at historically low rates is closing. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the rate on the 30-year loan jumped to 4.08 percent, up from 3.92 percent the previous week. A month ago, it touched 3.87 percent, the lowest since long-term mortgages began in the 1950s. The average on the 15-year fixed mortgage rose to 3.30 percent, up from 3.16 percent last week and a record low of 3.13 percent two weeks ago.

Movie-going down in U.S.

LAINS TWP. – A noted economist told members of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce on Thursday that the nation’s economy is “improving.” “But it’s not going gangbusters,” said Jay Bryson, Ph.D., global economist for Wells Fargo Securities. Bryson addressed about 100 chamber members during a lunch meeting at The Woodlands, outlining his take on where the national and global economies are and offering predictions and advice. Bryson said economic growth in Pennsylvania appears to be positive at present, which he said is consistent with the expansion that has taken hold in the

Ticket sales for movies shown around the globe rose 3 percent in 2011 to $32.6 billion, thanks largely to growth in booming markets like China. U.S. and Canadian sales fell. The Motion Picture Association of America said Thursday that theatrical revenue from the U.S. and Canada dropped 4 percent to $10.2 billion as attendance fell last year. International ticket sales rose 7 percent to $22.4 billion.

iPhone tops in Canada

Research In Motion, maker of the BlackBerry, has been ousted from the top spot for smartphone shipments in its home market of Canada for the first time, trailing Apple’s iPhone. RIM, based in Waterloo, Ontario, shipped 2.08 million BlackBerrys last year in Canada, compared with 2.85 million units for Apple, data compiled by IDC and Bloomberg show. In 2008, the year after the iPhone’s debut, RIM outsold Apple by almost five to one.

LOS ANGELES — Does the economic recovery actually have legs? Long ones, according to the Conference Board, whose index of leading economic indicators (including jobless claims) continued to perk up in February in the biggest increase in nearly a year. The index, which includes improving measures such as income and sales, was up 0.7 percent last month to 95.5 after rising 0.2 percent in January and 0.5 percent in December. That’s the most substantial advance in 11 months and the highest point since June 2008.

be sustained. “It’s hard for me to see this area’s economy booming if the U.S. economy isn’t booming,” Bryson said. “If the nation’s economy continues to grow, this area may lag a little behind.” During his presentation, Bryson said: • Growth in consumer spending likely will remain historically slow. • Since that is two-thirds of the total economy, overall growth will lag. • Private sector hiring is strong, but the public sector has seen huge layoffs. • The federal budget deficit and world oil prices are major concerns. Bryson said gasoline prices likely will hit $4 per gallon, but barring a major incident with Iran, they probably won’t go to $5 per gallon.

overall U.S. economy. He credited shale gas drilling for much of the improvement. “Over the past few years, shale gas production has ramped up significantly in Pennsylvania, which could be helping to boost employment in the commonwealth,” he said. Bryson provided a report done by Wells Fargo on the shale industry in Pennsylvania, offering three different scenarios. Depending on how well the economy performs, Bryson predicts the state could see anywhere from 570,000 to 825,000 new jobs by the year 2020. He said Pennsylvania’s economy has been lagging behind the rest of the U.S., but the shale industry has helped bring it back. The question is how long it can

We've now had temperatures in the 70s on seven of the past 10 days, and again this afternoon, readings will easily rise to nearly 25 degrees above normal. The warmest temperature on record for March in our area is 85, set back in 1998. I do not think it'll get that warm this month. In fact, today will probably be the last day this month with highs in the mid 70s. Today's forecast high is normal for May 31. Indeed, it is normal for the weather to be abnormal and this month was simply meant to be this way by the random nature of how weather patterns evolve and at times persist. - Tom Clark
