WASHINGTON TWP. A natural gas well
that malfunctioned will remain capped as regu-
lators investigate what caused thousands of gal-
lons of fracking uid to ow from the drilling
site in rural Wyoming County on Wednesday
night into Thursday afternoon.
State Department of Environmental Protec-
tion spokeswoman Colleen Connolly said the
malfunction occurred at about 6 p.m. Wednes-
day and worsened overnight. At
one point, she said, about 800
gallons of the chemically treated
wastewater was escaping per
minute. The site is off Keiserville
Road, about three miles north-
west of Tunkhannock.
Four families in the vicinity of
the pad on property owned by the
Yarasavage family were asked to evacuate; three
did. The property owner remained, Connolly
said.
The other families were permitted to return
Thursday night after air-quality samples came
back clean and frack uid tests registered no
radiation.
Even so, Houston-based Carrizo Oil and Gas,
which operates locally out of a Montrose ofce
and owns the well, is providing bottled water to

JENKINS TWP. State Rep. Kevin Hag-
gerty told a television audience Thursday he
does not believe schools should be required
to staff armed guards, but he said funding
should be in place if school administrators
feel they are needed.
In a WVIA-TV panel discussion, Haggerty,
D-Lackawanna, said he is promoting a bill
under review in the state Education Com-
mittee to provide a $90 million annual state
allotment to post armed guards in elemen-
tary schools.
As a father I do believe in armed secu-
rity at our elementary schools across Penn-
sylvania, Haggerty said. But as a state rep-
resentative, it is not my role to do that.
Superintendents and school members
should make that decision, he said.
Haggerty, along with state Sen. Lisa Baker,
R-Lehman Township, former U.S. Congress-
man Chris Carney, of Dimock, and Lakeland
School District Superintendent Margaret
Billings-Jones elded questions from TV
viewers over the phone and from modera-
tor Bill Kelly, WVIA-TV president, during
the public channels State of Pennsylvania
program.
Carney, no longer in Washington, but a
legislator who was given a National Rie
Association A-rating for his Second Amend-
ment advocacy, said, even after the recent

AG: Charter school
owes big repayment
SCRANTON A report by the state Of-

Creek Community Charter School be required
to reimburse the state Department of Education
$106,332 for lease payments that auditors say
the school improperly received.
The report was among six audits released
Thursday by Auditor General Eugene De-
Pasquale that identied systemic problems
he said resulted in charter schools receiving a
combined total of more than $550,000 in state
funds to which they were not entitled.
The audits found additional problems with

Scranton Mass celebrates new pope
SCRANTON Bishop
Joseph Bambera told more
than 100 people gathered
Thursday in St. Peters
Cathedral that Catholics
around the world have gone
from a period of sadness to
one of great joy and celebra-
tion.
Bambera, spiritual leader
of the Diocese of Scranton,
held a special Mass to cel-
ebrate the election of Cardi-
nal Jorge Mario Bergoglio as
pope the 265th successor
to St. Peter.
Bambera said Catholics
were saddened when Pope
Benedict XVI unexpectedly
announced his resignation
only a few weeks ago. He
said Pope Francis brings
new light and joy to the
Catholic Church.
He wasnt at the top of
anybodys list that I saw in
the media, but look at the
background and accom-
plishments of this humble
man, Bambera said during
his homily. This shows that
it is God who truly drives
the church, and his wisdom
is beyond questioning.
Bambera said Pope Fran-
VATICAN CITY Pope Francis put his
humility on display during his rst day as pontiff
Thursday, stopping by his hotel to pick up his
luggage and pay the bill himself in a decidedly
different style of papacy than his tradition-mind-
ed predecessor who tended to stay ensconced in
the frescoed halls of the Vatican.
The break from Benedict XVIs ponticate was
evident even in Francis wardrobe choices: He
kept the simple iron pectoral cross of his days as
bishop and eschewed the red cape that Benedict
wore when he was presented to the world for the
rst time in 2005 choosing instead the simple
white cassock of the papacy.
And in his rst Mass as pope, Francis showed
how different he would be as a pastor, giving an
off-the-cuff homily about the need to walk with
God, build up his church and confess at one
point referring to children building sand castles
on the beach.
It was a far simpler message than the dense,
three-page discourse Benedict delivered in Latin
during his rst Mass as pope in 2005.
The difference in style was a sign of Francis
belief that the Catholic Church needs to be at
one with the people it serves and not impose its
message on a society that often doesnt want to
hear it, Francis authorized biographer, Sergio
Rubin, said in an interview Thursday with The
Associated Press.
It seems to me for now what is certain is its
a great change of style, which for us isnt a small
thing, Rubin said, recalling how the former
Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio would celebrate Masses
with homeless people and prostitutes in Buenos
Aires.
He believes the church has to go to the
streets, he said, to express this closeness of the
church and this accompaniment with those who
are suffering.

KINGSTON At the Wyo-
ming Valley West School Board
meeting Wednesday night, Kym
Vest of Courtdale addressed
the directors in support of the
elementary music program and
asked about the study being
done on the program.
I would like to know some of
the results, she said.
Board President Gordon
Dussinger replied the study was
of the fourth-grade program ac-
tivity. He said the board wanted
to know how many children
were participating and what
their schedules were.
To say that were canceling
the program is false, he said.
Superintendent Charles Sup-
pon added: No decision is being
taken lightly. The best interests
of the students will be foremost.
When a second resident spoke
up about the music program,
several board members objected
that they were not canceling the
music program.
Board member James Fender
said, Id like to clear the air.
We are not touching any of
the music programs at Wyoming
Valley West. We are looking at
the fourth grade and we may re-
structure it, he said.
In regular business, the board
opened bids for janitorial, tech-
nology and interscholastic
sports supplies.
In other matters:
The Valley West Middle
School principal and represen-
tatives of the student council
presented a plaque to school ma-
tron Glenna Novick. Novick is
retiring after 40 years of service.
Joe Gimble, a councilman
in Larksville, presented three
plaques to the board relating to
Larksville High School history.
WILKES-BARRE An at-
torney defending Wilkes-Barre
Township Fire Chief John Paul
Yuknavich on theft charges is
opposing a request by prosecu-
tors for another judge to preside
over the trial.
In a 20-page response, at-
torney Barry Dyller outlined
his vigor-
ous attempts
to have the
case against
Yu k n a v i c h ,
49, dismissed,
claiming a con-
tinuing pattern
of prosecutori-
al misconduct
by Assistant District Attorney
Michael Melnick.
Dyller states Melnick missed
multiple deadlines to le docu-
ments, served illegal subpoenas
on holidays when the court was
closed and delayed schedul-
ing the trial within one year of
Yuknavich being charged.
Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr.
has denied Dyllers requests to
dismiss the case.
Prosecutors last week led
a petition seeking to have
Sklarosky remove himself from
presiding over the trial, alleging
the judge made a statement that
the prosecution doesnt have a
case.
During a theatrical pretrial
hearing on Feb. 13, Sklarosky
prohibited Melnick from using
15 bounced checks as evidence
against Yuknavich.
The ruling turned into ver-
bal taunting between Sklarosky
and Melnick that continued the
next day, Feb. 14, when Mel-
nick made reference to an early
January dinner attended by
Sklarosky and Dyller. Sklarosky
held Melnick in contempt of
court and threatened to jail the
prosecutor, an order that is on
hold due to an appeal to the
state Superior Court.
In Dyllers response, he wrote
about The Judicial Dinner,
noting it was attended by six
other judges and their spouses.
An assistant district attorney
sat at an adjacent table, and only
pleasantries were exchanged,
Dyller noted.
This dinner between col-
leagues on the bench and their
spouses was no secret and was
known to the district attorneys
ofce, Dyller wrote in his re-
sponse.
He said the dinner in early
January is no different than
other social events attended by
judges and attorneys.

WILKES-BARRE City
Council on Thursday night ap-
proved spending $64,595 for an
audit of last years municipal -
nances.
The rm of Maher Duessel,
certied public accountants
with ofces in Harrisburg, was
chosen after much deliberation
to look at the citys general pur-
pose nancial statements, said
Jim Ryan, city clerk.
They are very experienced in
municipal audits. Theyve done
audits across the state, Ryan
said at the start of councils regu-
larly scheduled meeting.
Before council voted on the
resolution to appoint the com-
pany, Frank Sorick, president of
the Wilkes-Barre City Taxpayers
Association, asked whether the
city considered using someone
who might be able to do the
work for free or at a lower cost.
He suggested Karen Ceppa
Hirko, an experienced accoun-
tant, or Mark Robbins, who also
has experience doing municipal
audits. Both of the people he
mentioned frequently have criti-
cized city ofcials and Mayor
Tom Leighton for how they
handle the citys nances and
taxpayers money.
Leighton asked if either of
them submitted a bid for the
service and added, Did they ask
you to ask that question, Frank?
Sorick said they did not.
Council Chairman Bill Bar-
rett explained the city sent out
request for proposals and re-
ceived replies from qualied and
unqualied rms. The ramica-
tions, if the audit isnt done cor-
rectly, is very widespread as
it pertains to funding and other
issues that involve revenues, he
said.
The type of work in ques-
tion has to be thorough, Barrett
said. Weve had an experience
or experiences in the past that
werent very comfortable for the
city and had consequences, he
said.
Maher Duessel was approved
by a 3-0 vote with Barrett, Mike
Merritt and Maureen Lavelle
voting. Council members
George Brown and Tony George
were excused from the meeting.
Council also approved the re-
structuring of a $500,000 loan
back to its original form as a
grant as part of the $1 million
the city received from the state
Department of Community and
Economic Development to n-
ish the interior retail space of
the University Corners project in
the downtown. The project has
been completed and TLC One
Holdings LLC, an investment
company headed by Joe Amato,
plans to purchase the property.
In other business, council ap-
proved: a one-year lease with
Calman Baggs of Wilkes-Barre
to operate the snack bar at Kirby
Park for $1,414; and an agree-
ment with Northern Tier Re-
search of Dunmore to provide
blood alcohol and drug labora-
tory services to the city police
department at set prices of $75
per blood alcohol test, $125 for
a blood drug screen, $150 for a
blood drug screen conrmation
and $125 for evidence analysis of
an unknown substance.

KINGSTON TWP. The
Board of Supervisors on
Wednesday night announced
an anticipated completion date
of its East Center Street re-
placement project: April 28.
It is something that we will
want to celebrate, said Super-
visor Jeffrey Box. Its been a
long road.
The board also approved a
payment of $33,511 toward
that project, of which the town-
ships responsibility will be
$6,702.40.
In another matter, Kathleen
Sebastian, township manager,
read a letter of commenda-
tion written by Chief of Police
James Balavage commending
ofcer Michael Huntzinger for
bravery in rescuing two resi-
dents at risk of drowning.
At one point, he himself
went under the ice, said Box,
but he continued in his effort
until he knew everyone was
safe.
In another matter, the board
approved a motion to sign an
agreement with Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation
pursuant to a grant of $50,000
directed toward upgrading pe-
destrian crossing signals.
The board also approved a
transfer of $26,670 from its
general fund to its state liquid
fuel fund, to pay for additional
salt because of winter weather.
The board approved a mo-
tion to appoint a resident to
the Planning Commission to
serve a four-year term, ending
December 2016.
Sebastian announced her in-
tent to advertise for summer
recreation staff, which will in-
clude a supervisor and several
counselors.

of the Board of Supervisors is
scheduled for 7:30 p.m. April
10.

Luzerne County ofcials have cited
problems with last years general fund
operating budget, but its still unclear
if the county broke even or ended the
year with a decit or surplus.
County Councilmen Rick Morelli
and Edward Brominski have been
pressing county Manager Robert
Lawton for an answer, with Bromin-
ski requesting a report by Tuesdays
council meeting.
Lawton said Thursday he and his
staff still are scrutinizing all payments
and receipts logged at the start of this
year to determine if they should be
tied to last years budget. He is at-
tempting to provide a response by
Tuesday, he said.
A report is meaningful only when
the information is complete and con-
rmed, Lawton said. As a profes-
sional manager, I prefer to wait until
all the facts are in rather than offer an
uninformed opinion.
The county Controllers Ofce
prepared a report on all general fund
operating budget payments and re-
ceipts tracked in the countys nan-
cial software system between Jan. 1
and Dec. 31 last year. Controller Wal-
ter Grifth said the report, prepared
at Brominskis request, indicates the
county spent $1.5 million more than
the $122.6 million budgeted and had
a $2.9 million revenue shortfall.
Grifth acknowledged the nancial
software doesnt present a complete
picture but said the dollar amounts
might indicate the county still isnt
operating within its means.
Were still spending more than
were bringing in. We still didnt make
all the tough decisions, said Grifth,
adding that he believes the adminis-
tration is taking too long to close the
books for 2012.
Lawton stressed the nancial soft-
A proposed increase of
$463,789 in state money
next year could be wiped
out several times over by
losses in property tax in-
come and increases in pen-
sion and health insurance
costs, the Wilkes-Barre
School Board was told at
the rst of several budget
meetings Wednesday.
That scenario would
leave the district needing
$1.7 million to balance next
years budget.
The budget work is
only beginning and the
board immediately started
looking for places to cut
spending but Business
Manager Leonard Przy-
wara offered early num-
bers that didnt look good.
While Gov. Tom Corbetts
proposed budget would
increase state allocations
modestly, the district lost
an estimated $229,706 in
property tax through as-
sessment appeals.
Pensions are expected to
cost about $800,000 more
than last year, and health
insurance costs are estimat-
ed to increase by almost
$1.2 million.
The board already has de-
cided to keep any tax hike
at or below a 2.4 percent in-
crease a limit set by the
state that can be exceeded
only by voter referendumor
special exemptions granted
by the state. But even if
the board agreed to a full
2.4 percent increase, that
would generate slightly
more than $1 million, still
leaving a shortfall of about
$700,000.
The board could use
money from a fund bal-
ance to cover that shortfall.
In fact, there should be
enough money in the bal-
ance about $5 million at
the start of this scal year
to avoid the tax hike en-
tirely.
But the board already
used $2.4 million of the
fund balance last year to
avoid a bigger tax hike, and
the money is traditionally
reserved for costly emer-
gencies.
Przywara also noted that
the district is negotiating
four employee contracts
teachers, support staff,
custodians and administra-
tors and that his gures
did not include any poten-
tial pay increases if the con-
tracts are settled.
Board members immedi-
ately started mulling cuts,
including asking principals

HANOVER TWP.
Faculty member cleared
A Hanover Area School District
faculty member has been cleared of
any wrongdoing after a student had
made comments to another faculty
member that suggested misconduct,
the district solicitor conrmed on
Thursday.
Solicitor George Shovlin said the
student had made comments about
one faculty member to another faculty
member alleging conduct which,
if true, would amount to a serious
breach of conduct and which could
also amount to criminal misconduct.
Shovlin said the faculty member
to whom the student made the
comments immediately informed
the school principal, who called the
student in for an interview along with
the faculty member to whom the
student made the comments.
The student said the comments
were untrue and apologized for mak-
ing them. The student also provided a
written statement conrming that the
comments were untrue, Shovlin said.
The faculty member about whom
the comment was made was indepen-
dently interviewed and denied any
misconduct took place.
However, in order to ensure the
health, safety and welfare of the
student, the students parents were
informed of the incident. And because
the comments could have amounted
to a serious crime if true, police were
also called to conduct their own inqui-
ries, Shovlin said.
Police found no criminal miscon-
duct, and the faculty member, who
had been placed on paid leave, was
asked to return to work, Shovlin said.
Because no misconduct on the part
of the faculty member has been found,
the privacy rights of the faculty mem-
ber and the student will be strictly
maintained.

town, pleaded guilty to disorderly
conduct and harassment. She was
ned $524, which was paid.
Jennifer A. Dompkosky, 44, of
Wyoming, pleaded guilty to disor-

Salavantis was cited for striking
Shaun Coe, manager at the Bar Louie

WASHINGTON
Toomey acts to aid depot
U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Zionsville,
has offered an amendment to a bill to
fund the government after March 27
that would increase Defense Depart-
ment operations and maintenance
funding by redirecting money from
the Pentagon biofuels program.
The regions largest employer, The
Tobyhanna Army
Depot, could be a
big beneciary if the
amendment becomes
law.
Toomey, after
learning that the
Monroe County
depot that employs
about 5,000 people has begun laying
off 418 civilian contract employees,
authored an amendment to provide
a modest increase to the Defense
Departments account, which helps
pay for the salaries of these and other
Army civilian contract employees
involved in operations and mainte-
nance.
To ensure that his proposal is def-
icit-neutral, the Toomey amendment
would offset this funding increase by
diverting funds from the Pentagon
biofuels programs.

West Hazletons elected tax collector
relies on a borough business to collect

The incident raises questions about
why the elected collector Louis D.

published tax collector phone number
was answered by the business, Malone

not respond to a request for comment.
According to a report prepared by
borough Police Chief Brian Buglio:
Malone said he put a bank bag in the

7:30 p.m. Feb. 19. The bag contained
property tax payments, sewer bills, per

WILKES- BARRE
A Hanover Town-
ship man was ar-
raigned Thursday on
evidence of drunken
driving after a crash
that injured a woman.
Robert D. Cleary
Jr., 44, of West Ger-
mania Street, was
charged with aggravated assault by ve-
hicle while driving under the inuence,
accidents involving damage to attend-
ed vehicle, accidents involving injury,
driving under the inuence, driving
without a license and three trafc vio-
lations. He was jailed at the Luzerne
County Correctional Facility for lack of
$100,000 bail.
City police allege a drunken Cleary
operating a Ford crashed into the rear of
a Hyundai at South Wilkes-Barre Boule-
vard and East Northampton Street just
after noon Wednesday.
According to the criminal complaint:
Sgt. Richard Harding was traveling
southonSouthWilkes-Barre Boulevard,
approaching East Northampton Street,
when he noticed a Ford backing up and
driving around a Hyundai. When the
Ford sped away, Harding spotted Irene
Ogrodnick standing behind the Hyun-
dai with a cellphone to her ear.
Ogrodnick told Harding that the Ford
struck her and took off.
Harding pursued the Ford onto East
Northampton Street and south on
South Pennsylvania Avenue, where he
drove at a high rate of speed.
Cleary, the driver of the Ford, turned
onto East Ross Street toward the aban-
doned Murray Complex.
Cleary told Harding he did not have a
drivers license. Police said in the crimi-
nal complaint that Cleary had an odor
of alcohol and bloodshot eyes. Cleary
told police he left the accident scene to
look for a place to pull over, the com-
plaint says.
Cleary allegedly said he consumed
six beers prior to the crash.
Police took Cleary to Geisinger Wyo-
ming Valley Medical Center for a blood
test.
Ogrodnick was taken to Wilkes-Barre
General Hospital for a head and neck
injury.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled
on March 21.

DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER
Conn., his opinion has not
changed. He does not believe
armed guards are the school-
safety solution.
Baker said untrained guards
who are unfamiliar with stu-
dent and faculty needs are her
greatest concern.
We need very well-trained
resource ofcers and indi-
viduals who have the proper
Act 120 training, Baker said
referring to the basic police
rearms training. Im very
concerned about extending
that to individuals who have
not had that training.
Billings-Jones, the superin-
tendent praised for her quick
action to post police ofcers
at her districts elementary
school immediately after the
Sandy Hook shooting, said
the immediate security need
outranked the need for proper
training.
Speaking from the audi-
ence, Nick DeSando, a for-
mer armed resource ofcer in
Lackawanna County who is
seeking election to be Lacka-
wanna County sheriff, af-
rmed the need for training.
He took up his post between
Dunmore High School and
the elementary school after
the Columbine High School
shooting in 1999, he said.
You dont have to be
armed, but you have to be
prepared to handle a threat,
DeSando said.
Changing times
Violent video games, media
outlets too speedy to report on
violence and declining morals
in the home were all blamed
with causing more frequent
school violence.
One caller said that, during
the years she attended school,
a Bible sat on every teachers
desk, and she seemed to sug-
gest faith in schools could be
a solution.
While Billings-Jones said
it might be decades before
Bibles are allowed in schools
again, and Kelly suggested
that it probably will never hap-
pen, Carney said Bibles would
be meaningless because there
is no context.
The Bible on a desk doesnt
mean anything to a kid who
doesnt know what a Bible is,
Carney said.
Armed-guard alternatives
From the audience, Ned
Evans, former Wilkes-Barre
Area teacher and principal,
suggested stricter entrance
screenings with a double-gat-
ed metal detector to catch ill-
intended intruders before they
reach the hallways.
One caller mentioned dogs
and said the military and law
enforcement rely heavily on
K-9 units. Billings-Jones re-
sponded by mentioning the
possibility of students with
childhood pet allergies, and
Haggerty said many children
and some adults are afraid of
dogs. However, the idea lin-
gered over the room, and it
was clear some were toying
with it.
Baker suggested that legis-
lators should seek alternatives
to arming guards and also said
danger awareness in schools
has to improve. Some disas-
ters might be avoided simply
if faculty and staff were more
aware of possible danger and
took appropriate measures
some as simple as routinely
locking doors during class
time.
Haggerty, a father of two
young children and a fresh-
man Harrisburg lawmaker,
said as he pursues his bill, he
is learning about other ways
fortify school buildings. Ulti-
mately, he wants to see chil-
dren protected.
High school students un-
derstand danger when it is
in front of them, he said, but
young children might have a
harder time recognizing evil.
Haggerty looked at his fel-
low panelists at one point.
Im never going to stop pur-
suing the right thing, he said.
I dont know if what Im dong
is the right thing but Im lis-
tening.
before he went to his Sugarloaf
Township residence that night.
The next morning, he went to
the Bonanza Restaurant in the
township and the Hazleton Post
Ofce.
Malone said he realized the
bag was stolen when he re-
turned to his ofce Feb. 20 and
told police the bag could have
been stolen from his car while
he was at any of the locations.
He stated there is no way of
knowing who paid their taxes
or did not since everything was
inside the bag, the report said.
Malone, who reported the
theft Feb. 22, indicated it could
take a year to identify the miss-
ing payments because thats
when the property owners who
paid will receive delinquency
notices.
Kelly Portanova, the employ-
ee who collected the property
tax payments, told police she
did not remember specic peo-
ple who paid and estimated up
to seven payments were in the
bag, with maybe only two pay-
ing with cash.
Buglio has been investigating
the matter with county detec-
tives.
County Manager Robert Law-
ton said the incident illustrates
the risks inherent in using sur-
rogates of surrogates to handle
county funds.
A county majority recently
voted to accept Lawtons recom-
mendation to switch to in-house
tax collection by the county
treasurers ofce starting next
year. The countys elected tax
collectors are suing to force the
county to keep them on.
Lawton said the inability to
determine the amount of miss-
ing revenue for up to a year is
yet another example of the ex-
isting systems inadequacies.
Given that the individual in-
volved was not a tax collector
or deputy tax collector, we are
concerned that we may not have
recourse to recover these funds
pursuant to the bonds issued on
elected tax collectors, Lawton
said.
County ofcials also are ex-
amining if receipts were given
to the property owners who
paid, and, if not, why that step
was omitted.

WILKES-BARRE A police
ofcer who says he is unable to
return to work due to a disabling
injury he suffered while arrest-
ing a suspect last October has
led a lawsuit against Wyoming
Borough seeking his salary and
medical expenses.
Kenneth W. Karns Jr. led the
suit through his attorney Mat-
thew D. Dempsey in Luzerne
County Court.
Karns alleges the borough has
failed to pay his $400 weekly
salary through Heart & Lung
Benets. Karns contends he is
entitled to his full salary while
he recovers and the borough is
responsible for his medical ex-
penses.
The suit is under review,
Wyoming Solicitor Jarrett Feren-
tino said. He is seeking a ben-
et under heart and lung, which
is related to his workman com-
pensation claim. Both are under
review by our insurance carrier.
Karns investigated a vandal-
ism complaint outside the VFW
Post 396 on Wyoming Avenue on
Oct. 18, when Edward D. Chris-
tilaw, 55, of Exeter, allegedly
smashed a car window. Christi-
law allegedly stood behind a ve-
hicle yelling, I want that mother
(expletive) in there to get out
here. Im (expletive) crazy and
will (expletive) him up.
Karns saw a large knife on
the ground next to Christilaws
feet, according to the criminal
complaint, in which alleges the
incident unfolded this way:
Christilaw ed, telling Karns,
I aint going to jail. Christilaw
allegedly fought with Karns, who
suffered injuries to his shoulder,
torso and arms. Karns warned
Christilaw to stop ghting or
he would be Tasered, to which
Christilaw replied (Expletive)
you. go ahead.
Karns stunned Christilaw
with a Taser and handcuffed
him. Christilaw struggled with
paramedics, who could not safe-
ly remove the Taser probes from
his body.
Christilaw is facing charges in
county court of simple assault,
criminal mischief, resisting ar-
rest, disorderly conduct and pub-
lic drunkenness. An aggravated
assault charge was withdrawn
against Christilaw at a prelimi-
nary hearing.
Karns was treated for his in-
juries at Wilkes-Barre General
Hospital.
The lawsuit says Karns has
been deemed totally disabled
to return to work as a police of-
cer and has incurred medical
expenses and loss of wages. He
is seeking his full salary since he
has not been medically cleared
to return to work.
Ofcer les lawsuit against Wyoming over pay
By EDWARD LEWIS
elewis@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE A Lu-
zerne County judge has rein-
stated appellate rights for a man
convicted of violating Megans
Law.
Joseph Derhammer, 42, was
convicted of failing to comply
with registration requirements
after a bench trial presided over
by then Judge Lewis Wetzel on
March 3, 2011. Derhammer was
sentenced to 40 to 80 months in
state prison on April 20, 2011.
City police accused Derham-
mer of failing to register an ad-
dress with state police after he
was thrown out of a house on
Chester Street, Wilkes-Barre, on
April 1, 2009, according to ar-
rest records.
The Chester Street house was
severely damaged by a re that
claimed the lives of Derham-
mers former girlfriend, Nancy
Kostelnick, 48, and her daugh-
ter, Carolyn CJ Kostelnick, 23,
on April 13, less than two weeks
after Nancy Kostelnick ended
her relationship with Derham-
mer.
Police charged Derhammer
with intentionally setting the
re. His trial on two counts of
criminal homicide and arson-
related charges is scheduled for
May.
Derhammer moved to a place
on Park Avenue, Wilkes-Barre,
but failed to register the address
within 48 hours as required for
a lifetime registered sexual of-
fender, arrest records say.
He requested a bench trial on
the Megans Law charge. The
case was transferred among
three judges before Wetzel
found him guilty.
Derhammer appealed the
conviction to the state Superior
Court.
Judge David Lupas this week
in an opinion stated Derham-
mers appeal should be granted
after being unable to nd any re-
cord that Derhammer was read
his rights before the bench trial
commenced.
County judge reinstates
mans appellate rights
and department heads to nd 10
percent across-the-board cuts
in their budgets, similar to a
move made last year with ath-
letic directors. Board members
also asked for a detailed budget
from this year so they can look
for more possible savings.
Several members questioned
whether preschool programs
held in three schools in partner-
ship with Luzerne County Head
Start would have to be eliminat-
ed to increase classroom space.
The meeting began with Head
Start Executive Director Lynn
Biga showing test results that
suggest the program is highly
successful for low-income stu-
dents at risk of academic failure.
Head Start serves 446 district
preschool students through its
programs, said Biga, most of
them at the agencys Beekman
Street Center. Eliminating the
classrooms made available in
the three schools would mean
54 children would lose Head
Start services, she said.
While the meeting was open
to the public and attended by
eight people including sev-
eral candidates for the board
in the upcoming election no
one in the audience spoke when
given the chance.

It would be imprudent to
draw conclusions based on the
controllers report from the cur-

Lawton has described last

large part because it allocated
$170,000 for a day reporting
center that costs around $1 mil-
lion.
The countys $122.25 million
2013 budget contains a $4.3
million void that will be lled

WASHINGTON Presi-
dent Barack Obama said he
had a great conversation
with Senate Republicans on
Thursday, the third stop in
his ice-breaking tour of the
Capitol this week on the
budget and other conten-
tious topics.
The 90-minute meeting
with GOP rivals, senators
said, featured exchanges on
the budget, the proposed
Keystone XL oil pipeline, tax
reform and the regulatory
burden on businesses.
He was very candid. He
certainly understands that
you cant x the country
without adjusting entitle-
ments to t the demograph-
ics of our country, said
Minority Leader Mitch Mc-
Connell, R-Ky., referring to
benet programs such as So-
cial Security and Medicare.
Well see where we go from
here, but it was a great meet-
ing.
Obama then walked across
the Capitol to meet with his
House Democratic allies,
capping visits this week to
the Democratic and GOP
conferences of both House
and Senate.
Thursdays meetings came
as a Senate panel moved to-
ward party-line approval of
a blueprint that would only
modestly trim the decit
while protecting safety net
programs from slashing cuts
proposed by Republicans.
The Senate budget plan,
drafted by Sen. Patty Mur-
ray, D-Wash., blends about
$1 trillion in modest cuts
to health care providers, the
Pentagon, domestic agencies
and interest payments on the
debt with an equal amount
in new revenue claimed by
ending some tax breaks.
But because Democrats
want to restore $1.2 trillion
in automatic spending cuts
over the same period cuts
imposed by Washingtons
failure to strike a broader
budget pact Murrays
blueprint increases spend-
ing slightly when compared
with current policies. And
after realistic assumptions
about war spending are fac-
tored in, Murrays proposal
would curb the decit by
only a few hundred billion
dollars over 10 years. Mur-
rays plan allocates only $50
billion for overseas military
operations next year and
assumes no war spending
whatsoever starting in 2016.
In the House, Budget
Committee Republicans ap-
proved a 2014 budget plan
late Wednesday with an en-
tirely opposite approach. It
whacks spending by $4.6 tril-
lion over the coming decade
and promises sweeping cuts
to Medicaid and domestic
agencies while setting a path
to balancing the books with-
in 10 years. The party-line
vote sent the measure to the
House for a vote next week.
Obama is signaling a will-
ingness to adopt modest-
steps on Medicare and So-
cial Security. He told House
Democrats that he could
support a less generous in-
ation adjustment for Social
Security but only as part of
a larger bargain that includes
new taxes.

Panel OKs weapons ban
A
Senate committee approved an
assault weapons ban Thursday on
a party-line vote that signaled how
difcult it will be for the proposal to
survive in the full Senate.
The Democratic-led Senate Judi-
ciary Committee approved the bill
on a 10-8 vote after rejecting a series
of Republican amendments aimed at
exempting victims of sexual abuse,
people living along the Southwest bor-
der and others from the prohibition.
The GOP proposals also were defeated
along party lines.
President Barack Obama made an
assault weapons ban part of the gun
curbs he proposed in January, a month
after a shooter with an assault rie
killed 20 rst-graders and six educa-
tors at a school in Newtown, Conn. An
assault weapons ban became law in
1994, but Congress failed to renew it
before it expired in 2004.

Iran is about a year away from devel-
oping a nuclear weapon and the Unit-

aired Thursday on Israeli TV.
Only days before he is to arrive in

the day before remained a mystery.
A man who worked for 20 years

gent, quiet and a good worker who got
along well with colleagues, but that he

es multiple charges of taking indecent

Virginia Beach police have said a con-
sensual, sexual relationship between
Perez took place away from Renais-
sance Academy in Virginia Beach. The

Scientists:
Elusive
particle
is found
GENEVA The search is all
but over for a subatomic particle
that is a crucial building block of
the universe.
Physicists announced Thurs-
day they believe they have dis-
covered the subatomic particle
predicted nearly a half-century
ago, which will go a long way
toward explaining what gives
electrons and all matter in the
universe size and shape.
The elusive particle, called a
Higgs boson, was predicted in
1964 to help ll in our under-
standing of the creation of the
universe, which many theorize
occurred in a massive explosion
known as the Big Bang. The par-
ticle was named for Peter Higgs,
one of the physicists who pro-
posed its existence, but it later
became popularly known as the
God particle.
Last July, scientists at CERN,
the Geneva-based European Or-
ganization for Nuclear Research,
announced nding a particle
they described as Higgs-like,
but they stopped short of saying
conclusively that it was the same
particle or some version of it.
Scientists have now nished
going through the entire set of
data year and announced the
results in a statement and at a
physics conference in the Italian
Alps.
To me it is clear that we are
dealing with a Higgs boson,
though we still have a long way
to go to knowwhat kind of Higgs
boson it is, said Joe Incandela,
a physicist who heads one of the
two main teams at CERN that
each involve about 3,000 scien-
tists.
Its existence helps conrm
the theory that objects gain their
size and shape when particles
interact in an energy eld with
a key particle, the Higgs boson.
The more they attract, the the-
ory goes, the bigger their mass
will be.
But, it remains an open ques-
tion, CERN said in a statement,
whether this is the Higgs boson
that was expected in the origi-
nal formulation, or possibly the
lightest of several predicted in
some theories that go beyond
that model.
But for now, it said, there can
be little doubt that a Higgs bo-
son does exist, in some form.
Whether or not it is a Higgs
boson is demonstrated by how
it interacts with other particles
and its quantum properties,
CERN said in the statement.
The discovery would be a
strong contender for the Nobel
Prize, though it remains unclear
whether that might go to Higgs
and the others who rst pro-
posed the theory or to the thou-
sands of scientists who found it.
Statement conrms discovery
of higgs boson, which gives
everything its size and shape.

Thursday that surveyed drivers about
their cellphone and texting habits.
More U.S. drivers reported talking on
their cellphones behind the wheel than
their counterparts in seven European
countries, the study by the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention found.
Nearly 69 percent of U.S. drivers said
they had talked on a cellphone while
driving within the previous 30 days.
The share of European drivers who said
they chatted on their phones ranged
from 21 percent in the United Kingdom
to 59 percent in Portugal.
A larger share of U.S. drivers also re-
ported reading or sending text or email
messages while driving. Only Portu-
gals drivers matched those in the U.S.
for this distracting habit 31 percent
in both countries. Spain had the small-
est share of drivers who said they text-
ed or emailed, at 15 percent.
The study was based on online sur-
veys of drivers ages 18 to 64 in the U.S.,
Belgium, France, Germany, the Nether-
lands, Portugal, Spain and the United
Kingdom in 2011.
Researchers offered no explanation
for why the use of distracting mobile
devices is more common in the U.S.
than other countries. Mobile device
markets in the U.S. and Europe are sim-
ilarly saturated, making it unlikely that
the ndings are attributable to differing
portions of the population owning de-
vices in the countries, the study said.
Its also unlikely that differences in
local laws can fully explain why more
U.S. drivers than European drivers say
they use their phones, the study said.
Nearly all European countries banned
hand-held cellphone use by drivers, yet
there was a large variation in the share
of drivers reporting the use of cell-
phones in the EU countries surveyed.
We cant really say why a greater
percentage of drivers in the U.S. appear
to be engaging in these behaviors. We
really dont know, the studys author,
CDC epidemiologist Rebecca Nau-
mann, said. We certainly know its an
area that deserves more research.

Dozens are killed in assault on Iraqi Justice Ministry
BAGHDAD Attackers
unleashed a carefully planned
assault with car bombs and
gunmen disguised as police
on the Iraqi Justice Ministry
on Thursday, killing at least
24 people as hundreds of oth-
ers crouched terried in their
ofces.
The large and complex raid
in the heart of downtown
Baghdad came less than a
week before the 10th anniver-
sary of the U.S.-led invasion of
Iraq, showing how vulnerable
this country remains to insur-
gent attacks.
The ghting lasted about
an hour, ending with security
forces storming the four-story
building after some of the
gunmen detonated suicide
vests, according to police and
witnesses. None of the attack-
ers survived.
There was no immediate
claim of responsibility, but
the attack bore the hallmarks
of al-Qaidas Iraqi arm. The
group, known as the Islamic
State of Iraq, frequently uses
car bombs, suicide bombers
and coordinated blasts in an
effort to undermine Iraqis
condence in the Shiite-led
government.
The attack began shortly
after midday in Baghdads
Allawi area, a largely com-
mercial district that is home
to the Iraqi National Museum
and the citys main bus sta-
tion.
At least two blasts, includ-
ing one car bomb and another
believed to be from a suicide
bomber, went off near the Jus-
tice Ministry.
Two other car bombs ex-
ploded nearby in what po-
lice believe was an effort to
confuse the authorities. One
strucknear the bus stationand
the other hit the headquarters
for a VIP protection force that
provides bodyguards for law-
makers, government minis-
ters and other senior ofcials.
Amid the chaos, approxi-
mately six gunmen wearing
police uniforms charged in-
side the ministry building, ac-
cording to a police ofcer who
was among the troops sent to
clear the area. A gun battle
soon broke out between the
intruders and security forces.
Raid came less than a week
before the 10th anniversary
of U.S.-led invasion.

NUANGOLA The rst of-
cial meeting of borough council
since December produced some
controversy when an appoint-
ment to the Nuangola Sewer
Authority came up for a vote
Tuesday.
A majority of council elected
Gerard Maskinas, a Church
Road resident, to serve a ve-
year term succeeding David
Pekar. It was the rst time since
December that council had
enough members in attendance
to constitute a quorum.
Pekar, who previously served
as chairman of the authority,
had submitted a request to be
considered for re-appointment;
however, he received the sup-
port of only council members
Regina Plodwick and Ted Van-
cosky.
Maskinas was selected on
the votes of councilmen John
Kochan, Joe Tucker, Ron Kai-
ser and Michael Johnson. It
was Johnsons rst voting ses-
sion since being selected by the
county court to serve out the
term of Elaine Donahue, whose
resignation became effective
Dec. 31.
At the meeting Pekar ex-
pressed some bitterness when
he spoke out about the need for
better representation for all of
the people, not just for the spe-
cial interests.
Council also made these ap-
pointments: Kaiser, president
pro-tem; Sabine Thomas, sec-
retary-treasurer; William Bilby,
sewage enforcement ofcer;
John Belles, assistant sewage
ofcer; Steve Bieryla, zoning
ofcer; the law rm of Elliot,
Greenleaf and Dean, solicitor;
Quad3 Group, engineer, and
John DiRico, vacancy chairman.
Three vacancies still exist
on the zoning hearing board
and two on the planning com-
mission. Individuals willing to
serve are asked to submit a let-
ter of interest before the April 9
meeting.
In other matters:
Plodwick reported that
ood relief funds of $9,854 and
$1,302 from the Federal Emer-
gency Management Agency
are contained in closeout docu-
ments to be led with FEMA.
Closeout payments of $2,907,
$5,006.97 and $5006.98 were ap-
proved for M&J Excavating for
work on the Willow Grove Street
project. Remittances also includ-
ed $2,318 to Barry Issett Engi-
neers for services on the project.
An annual garbage collec-
tion fee of $155 was re-institut-
ed, with the Municipal Market-
ing Services rm selected to
prepare and distribute invoices.

JENKINS TWP. The
board of supervisors voted
unanimously on Wednesday to
approve a request to authorize
an engineering rm to survey
ongoing water damage along
Demark Street in the town-
ships Old Boston section.
The board previously had al-
located funds for repair of the
water damage, but it was await-
ing favorable weather condi-
tions before preceding with the
project.
In other business:
Township tax collector Jean
Mudlock expressed concern to
the the board about ongoing
expansion at the Wesley Village
complex and its status as a tax-
exempt entity.
Board members said they
were aware of the tax-exempt
charter with Wesley Village
and will look into the specica-
tions of that agreement as they
pertain to planned expansion
projects.
Also, the board agreed to
reallocate $49,900 to the town-
ships general fund, to meet
payroll for the month of March.
Board Chairman Joseph
Zelonis said the townships an-
nual Easter egg hunt will be at
10 a.m. March 23 at Spadi Park.
All residents are invited to par-
ticipate.
Jenkins Twp. moves to repair Demark St. water damage

Luzernetohirepart-timer worker for street repair
LUZERNE The Borough
Council voted unanimously
during Wednesdays meeting to
hire additional part-time help
for anticipated street repairs
this spring.
The Street Department cur-
rently is operating with only
two employees. As the weather
breaks, however, it is becoming
clear that major patchwork will
need to be completed.
Its literally impossible to
do this type of patchwork with
only two people, council chair-
man Mike Jancuska said.
Although uncertain, the
council members present at
Wednesdays meeting doubted
that they budgeted for the ad-
ditional employee. Mindful of
that, borough ofcials stressed
thrift in handling the matter.
It is anticipated that, at two
days a week, the temporary part-
time help will work only a total
of 60 hours by the time the need-
ed work is complete. Jancuska
was not able to state the exact
wage the worker will be paid,
but he expected that the equiva-
lent of roughly $15 per hour
would be paid to a temp agency
that will provide the worker.
Depending on weather devel-
opments, the patchwork is ex-
pected to take place on numer-
ous Luzerne streets beginning
in mid-April.
Borough Council members
Judy Gober, Kurt Santayana
and Bill Turcan were absent
from the meeting.
In other matters, it was an-
nounced that the borough will
collect and drop off electronic
recyclable materials to the free
countywide electronic recy-
cling collection being held at
Hanover Junior- Senior High
School on June 15. Ofcials
have yet to decide whether
they will collect items from
each home or host a drop-off at
a location in Luzerne.
The council members also
reminded the public of the mu-
nicipal Easter egg hunt to be
held at the Charles Street Park
at 1 p.m. March 24. The event
will be only for borough resi-
dents aged 10 and under.
The next regular borough
meeting is set for 7 p.m. April
10.
Extra help deemed necessary
for patchwork expected to
begin in mid-April.

Editorial
A
nother day and more
allegations of political
corruption in Pennsyl-
vania, the Common-
wealth of Corruption.
The state Attorney Gen-
erals Ofce on Wednesday an-
nounced that criminal charges
have been led against three
top former ofcials of the Penn-
sylvania Turnpike Commission,
the Democrats former leader in
the state Senate, two other turn-
pike ofcials and two turnpike
vendors.
Theyre accused of bid rig-
ging, bribery, conict of inter-
est, conspiracy and theft you
know, all the usual behavior
weve come to expect from so
many Harrisburg public ser-
vants.
The latest charges center on
Bob Mellow, the former Demo-
crat leader already in prison for
campaign corruption. A grand
jury alleges he directed an aide
to help key supporters obtain
turnpike contracts. That, alleg-
edly, in return for cash, travel,
entertainment and political con-
tributions.
Also charged, a whos who
of former Turnpike Commis-
sion muckety-mucks former
chairman Mitchell Rubin, for-
mer chief executive Joe Brim-
meier and former chief operat-
ing ofcer George Hatalowich.
Mr. Brimmeier, youll recall,
was said to be the top pick of Al-
legheny County Chief Executive
Rich Fitzgerald to take over the
Port Authority. And Mr. Rubin,
youll remember, was ousted
and served time in another Har-
risburg scandal involving con-
victed state Sen. Vince Fumo,
also in the pokey.
At this rate, there soon wont
be a Pennsylvania ofcial not
implicated in criminal behavior.

ts easy to dump on the
Transportation Security
Administration, the toddler-
searching, Gatorade-cons-
cating, junk-touching agency
American travelers love to hate.
So when it managed last week
to generate such alarming head-
lines as TSA to allow knives on
planes, its not surprising that
an uproar ensued.
But the trouble is not so much
the TSAs new policies on per-
missible carry-on items. Its the
old, ill-conceived policies from
which the agency is awkwardly
attempting to extricate itself.
The TSA announced that it
would open the airways not
only to pocketknives and other
small blades, but also to an odd
hodgepodge of sporting equip-
ment once construed as a threat,
including pool cues, ski poles,
and toy baseball bats. Airline and
government unions, as well as a
chorus of politicians, are object-
ing.
The new policy is counterin-
tuitive enough to have called
for more public-relations nesse
from the TSA. But despite our
indelible collective memory that
the 9/11 hijackers were armed
only with box-cutters one
type of small blade that is still
banned for obvious symbolic and
emotional reasons keeping
airplanes free of every potential
weapon was always quixotic and
counterproductive.
As several experts and com-
mentators have noted, count-
less objects, many of them kept
aboard most planes, could be
used as or easily turned into
weapons at least as effective as a
pocketknife.
Lets not forget that the gov-
ernment long ago abandoned
its post-9/11 efforts to keep the
nations tweezers and nail clip-
pers on the ground. This latest
change brings TSA policies still
closer to international security
standards. Reinforced cockpit
doors, air marshals, and pas-
senger and ight crew aware-
ness are likely the most effec-
tive protections. against another
9/11-style hijacking.
Not that any of that has
stopped the TSA from attempt-
ing to rid the skies of all man-
ner of theoretically dangerous
tchotchkes for years. The Wall
Street Journal documented
some of the proceeds last year
in a visit to a state surplus store
selling TSA-conscated items
from shelves full of souvenir
snow globes, marked down to
two bucks apiece, to Swiss Army
knives sold by the pound.
While inicting untold misery
on the traveling masses, such
monumental low-percentage ef-
forts have distracted the TSA
from looking for explosives and
other true threats to air trav-
elers. The agency has earned
much of the reexive derision
it gets, but this move away from
pointless security theater is part
of the solution.

Smaller government just
ends up costing more
B
ig government may raise taxes, but it
costs less; smaller government may
keep taxes down, but it costs more.
When government agencies arent ad-
equately funded or properly staffed, they
cant do the job for which they were cre-
ated. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
and the Securities and Exchange Commis-
sion (SEC) are just two examples.
When there is a Republican president
the IRS is inadequately funder and under-
staffed. Fewer adults are performed with
less tax collected, and the audits are done
on those with lower and modest incomes,
not on the wealthy.
The SEC, during the Bush II Adminis-
tration, operated on a bare bones budget
and was staffed by incompetent bureau-
crats and political hacks. As a result, Wall
Street collapsed and the stock market
crashed.
Does a $700 billion bailout of Wall
Street by President Bush ring a bell? This
was followed by a $800 billion stimulus by
President Obama. Both actions increased
the national debt.
When combined, the bailout and the
stimulus cost taxpayers $1.5 trillion be-
cause of a smaller government that didnt
save taxpayers one penny, but it cost a lot
more dollars.
Government is a service, not a business.
Successful businessmen wouldnt consider
operating a private enterprise the same
way that smaller government is operated
because they know that it would cost
more in the long run.

Fuzzy bunnies require
care and responsibility
O
ver the next few weeks, thousands of
adults will be tempted to buy an Easter
rabbit for a child. Unfortunately a few
months from now, animal shelters will be
ooded with cast-offs. The bunnies ask
that anyone who is considering buying
a rabbit this year to stop and learn some
important facts:
Rabbits are an adult responsibility (all
animals are). The are not low-mainte-
nance starter pets.
They can live 8 to 12+ yearsand can be
litter boxed trained.
They need to be seen by a rabbit
knowledgeable veterinarian at least once
a year and need to be spayed/neutered to
improve health and behavior.
Rabbits are inquisitive, social indoor
companions but do not like to be picked
up and carried.
They require an ample amount of safe
living space and more than three hours of
exercise daily.
They need daily monitoring of food,
hay and water intake and fecal and urine
output. and require 24-hour access to
timothy/grass hays.
Dont give a live rabbit; give chocolate
or stuffed rabbits: the kind of Easter bun-
nies that cant be neglected.
A house rabbit can make a wonderful
pet. So, if you are seriously considering a
pet rabbit please educate yourself before
bringing one into your home. Always
adopt from your local humane society or
rabbit rescue organization, never buy or
breed, there are too many retired Eas-

Reader questions depots
perspective on needed cuts
T
he sequester legislation imposes an
across-the-board ve percent cut in
the defense budget. Why then are the
powers-that-be at Tobyhanna Army Depot
claiming that they will need to cut $300
million from an $800 million budget? That
is about thirty-seven percent.

Family is grateful for
the wedding of a lifetime
O
n behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Shu-
man and their family, we would like
to express our sincere gratitude to your
paper for the wonderful article you did
on Issy and Joe. As your readers may
recall, Joe and Issy Shuman have quite a
story! Mark from WBRE-TV 28, also did a
fantastic job covering this story. We also
want to take this opportunity to express
our heartfelt thank-you to the numerous
people in the Shickshinny Benton com-
munity who helped make their 71st wed-
ding anniversary on Feb. 1 so memorable.
During the early planning stages of their
anniversary party, it became quite obvious
that this event was going to be unique.
Work spread throughout the community
and this celebration took on a life all its
own! So many people have their time and
talents and it is because of them that we
write.
First of all, thank you to Mr. Bonham
and the Bonham Nursing Center staff,
from all departments, who helped trans-
form our home into a church and recep-
tion hall. Thank you to all our residents
who gathered to witness and celebrate
this special occasion. Without you this
celebration would not have been com-
plete. For our volunteers (local church
members; friends and family of our resi-
dents, neighbors in the community), your
kindness and service was and continues to
be priceless. A special thank you to Pastor
Scott Lyons who ofciated at the vow re-
newal ceremony; to our ower girl, Allena
Groff; ring bearer, Nolan Bardua; organist,
Eileen Scherer; and soloist and photogra-
pher, Laura Shaffer. In addition, we would
like to thank Annette Commodore for the
tiered wedding cake, Lena Zimmerman
for the wedding sheet cake, Mike and
Elizabeth Frantz for the table favors, and
Bethanne Rodney for the candle lighting
centerpiece.
And nally, we would like to extend
our utmost gratitude to Stoney Acres
in Benton, and W.W. Bridal Boutique in
Bloomsburg. Stoney Acres graciously do-
nated Issys beautiful writs corsage, Joes
boutonniere, and the lovely oral arrange-
ment for their table. Upon hearing of their
story, W.W. Bridal graciously provided
Joes tuxedo for the affair. Furthermore,
they invited Issy to come to their store
and choose her wedding dress (they even
died a pair of satin shoes to match!)
When discussion of payment arose,
W.W. Bridal graciously declined, stating
they were honored to be a part of this
special event. The generosity extended by
these two businesses is extremely rare in
todays world. Their acts of kindness go
beyond words. Thank you once again to
everyone who made this the Wedding of
a lifetime!

DEP grant will improve
Edwardsville recycling
I
n 2012, the borough of Edwardsville
led for a Department of Environmental
Protection grant to improve our recycling
program. We were recently notied that
a grant was approved in the amount of
$104,236.00. This grant award has come at
a perfect time.
This year Edwardsville implemented
a new recycling program called Single
Stream. This system not only adds ad-
ditional items to the recycling roster
increasing the volume of recycling collec-
tions; it is more convenient for residents
who can now mix items for same day
pick up. In addition, the borough is now
able to purchase a new mini-packer to
replace an out-of-date recycling truck and
additional recycling containers for our
residents.
On behalf of all council members, I
would like to thank Councilman Gary Mo-
ran, chairman of DPW; Leonard Lengel,
DPW supervisor; and Charles Szalkowski,
borough manager, who all worked hard on
this grant application. I would encourage
DEP to continue these opportunities to
municipalities as grants are necessary to
enable us to run quality programs within
our community and help move forward
into the future.

JOSEPH BUTKIEWICZ
Francis began his rst day as
pope making an early morning
visit in a simple Vatican car to a
Roman basilica dedicated to the
Virgin Mary and prayed before
an icon of the Madonna.
He had told a crowd of some
100,000 people packed in rain-
soaked St. Peters Square just
after his election that he in-
tended to pray to the Madonna
that she may watch over all of
Rome.
He also told cardinals he
would call on retired Pope Bene-
dict XVI, but the Vatican said
the visit wouldnt take place for
a few days.
The main item on Francis
agenda Thursday was his in-
augural afternoon Mass in the
Sistine Chapel, where cardinals
elected him leader of the 1.2
billion-strong church in an un-
usually quick conclave.
At the start of the Mass,
Francis exchanged words with
Monsignor Guido Marini, the
Vaticans master of liturgical
ceremonies who under Bene-
dict ushered in a far more tradi-
tional style of liturgy, heavy on
Gregorian chant, Latin and the
silk-brocaded vestments of the
pre-Vatican II church.
Vatican ofcials conrmed
reports that Marini was some-
what put off by Francis refusal
Wednesday night to wear the
formal papal red cape when he
emerged on the loggia overlook-
ing St. Peters Square to be in-
troduced to the crowd. Benedict
was known to favor many of the
trappings of the papacy, includ-
ing the elaborate vestments and
ceremonial gear used by popes
past.
Traditionalists had rejoiced
with Benedicts return to these
elements of the pre-Vatican II
church, arguing it was the true
church and not the one spoiled
by the councils reforms.
Francis, the rst Jesuit pope
and rst non-European since
the Middle Ages, decided to call
himself Francis after St. Francis
of Assisi, the humble friar who
dedicated his life to helping the
poor.
The new pope, known for
his work with the poor in Bue-
nos Aires slums, immediately
charmed the crowd in St. Pe-
ters, which roared when his
name was announced and
roared again when he emerged
on the loggia of the basilica with
a simple and familiar: Brothers
and sisters, good evening.
By Thursday morning, mem-
bers of his ock were similarly
charmed when Francis stopped
by the Vatican-owned residence
where he routinely stays dur-
ing visits to Rome and where
he stayed before the start of the
conclave.
He wanted to come here be-
cause he wanted to thank the
personnel, people who work in
this house, said The Rev. Pawel
Rytel-Andrianek, who is staying
at the residence. He greeted
them one by one, no rush, the
whole staff, one by one.
He then paid the bill.
People say that he never in
these 20 years asked for a (Vati-
can) car, he said. Even when
he went for the conclave with a
priest from his diocese, he just
walked out to the main road, he
picked up a taxi and went to the
conclave. So very simple for a
future pope.
Francis displayed that same
sense of simplicity and humility
immediately after his election,
shunning the special sedan that
was to transport him to the ho-
tel so he could ride on the bus
with other cardinals, and refus-
ing even an elevated platform
from which he would greet
them, according to U.S. Cardi-
nal Timothy Dolan.
He met with us on our own
level, Dolan said.
I think were going to see a
call to Gospel simplicity, said
U.S. Cardinal Donald Wuerl.
He is by all accounts a very
gentle but rm, very loving but
fearless, a very pastoral and car-
ing person ideal for the chal-
lenges today.
During dinner, Francis, how-
ever, acknowledged the daunt-
ing nature of those challenges
in a few words addressed to the
cardinal electors: May God
forgive you for what you have
done, Francis said, according
to witnesses.
The Vatican spokesman the
Rev. Federico Lombardi ac-
knowledged the difference in
style between the two popes, at-
tributing it to Francis life work
as the pastor of Buenos Aires
whereas Benedict was long an
academic. He said it was too
early to make a profound evalu-
ation of Francis priorities, urg-
ing instead reection on his rst
few homilies particularly at
his installation Mass on Tues-
day.
The 76-year-old Bergoglio,
said to have nished second
when Pope Benedict XVI was
elected in 2005, was chosen on
just the fth ballot to replace
the rst pontiff to resign in 600
years.

sample water supplies for those
residents.
Tanker trucks spent most of
the night and day collecting the
uid and hauling it off site. Con-
nolly said about 226,000 gallons
have been placed into tanker
trucks or captured in a holding
gully.
A statement issued on Car-
rizos website regarding the in-
cident noted: An investigation
into the cause of the incident
will be conducted. All relevant
emergency and regulatory agen-
cies are being notied that the
well has been brought under
control. No injuries were report-
ed as a result of the incident.
The safety of our employees,
community residents and stake-
holders remain our rst prior-
ity.
Richard Hunter, the compa-
nys vice president of investor
relations, said Carrizo had no
additional comment.
Connolly said a crane was
brought in to help free the drill
fromthe ground. There was con-
cern, she said, that when that
occurred, some blow back could
occur and stored up natural gas,
which is combustible, could be
released. But the crews were
able to release the gas slowly
enough to prevent any are off.
While DEP investigates the
incident, Connolly said the well
will remain capped, preventing
any drilling.
The well was capped the
same day U.S. Rep. Matt Cart-
wright introduced his rst piece
of legislation as a congressman.
Coincidentally, his bill has to do
with the natural gas industry.
Titled the Focused Reduction
of Efuence and Stormwater
runoff through Hydrofrack-
ing Environmental Regulation
(FRESHER) Act, the bill seeks
to eliminate the oil and gas per-
mit exemption in the Clean Wa-
ter Act and makes oil and gas
exploration companies follow
the same rules that apply to all
other industries. It also requires
the secretary of the interior to
conduct a basic study of the oil
and gas stormwater runoff issue.
Its a proud moment for me,
introducing as my rst bill, this
measure to protect the water
supply for families in North-
eastern Pennsylvania, and ev-
ery place in America where the
water could be endangered by
oil and gas drilling, said Cart-
wright, D-Moosic.
The Clean Water Act was en-
acted in 1972 as a means of com-
batingthedischargeof pollutants
into waterways for all industries.
The lawwas amended in 1987 to
exempt oil and gas companies.
These exemptions were further
expanded in 2005 to cover the
even more environmentally risky
activity of construction, again
only for oil and gas companies.
As hydraulic fracturing and
the runoff that comes with it
continues to increase, the need
to make sure these companies
are maintaining the cleanliness
of our water becomes greater,
Cartwright said. Fracking was
not a concern on anyones radar
when the Clean Water Act was
originally debated, but the prac-
tice is expanding today. Its time
to update this important public
health and environmental stew-
ardship law.
Connolly said its unclear
whether much of a difference
would have been made at the
Washington Township well-pad
if that bill were enacted into law.
I dont knowif I could answer
that. Its too speculative at this
point, Connolly said.

tax forms, possible ethics viola-
tions and other record-keeping
issues.
Bear Creek and other char-
ters vehemently have disputed
the ndings regarding the lease
payments, noting they provided
all required paperwork to the
Department of Education, which
approved the payments.
It seems to be a situation
where one part of the govern-
ment feels some other part of the
government is doing something
inappropriate, said Dave Blaze-
jewski, president of the Bear
Creek Charter Schools board of
trustees. Rather than take it up
with the Department of Educa-
tion, theyre going after the par-
ticipants of the program instead
of the people who created the
program.
More troubling, Blazejewski
said, is the audits ndings could
result in a loss of funding that
could impact the ability of char-
ter schools to maintain the up-
keep of buildings and build new
structures.
Rental payments an issue
At issue is a provision within
the Department of Education
that permits charter schools to
receive reimbursement for rental
payments they make for school
buildings. However, the schools
are not entitled to the payments
if they own the buildings.
State auditors found that Bear
Creek and some of the other
schools transferred ownership
of their buildings to an outside
foundation, from which they
then rented the structures. They
then sought the rental reim-
bursement.
The problem, according to
auditors, is those foundations
were created by the board of
trustees of the schools. The au-
ditors contend that means the
schools, in effect, are the own-
ers of the buildings, and there-
fore not eligible to receive the
lease reimbursement.
Speaking at a press confer-
ence Thursday in Scranton, De-
Pasquale stressed he is not al-
leging any of the schools set up
the foundations in an attempt to
fraudulently bypass the law. The
situation appears to be an honest
misunderstanding of the rules by
the charter schools, he said.
Our understanding from our
auditors is they didnot knowthis
was wrong, said DePasquale.
Most of the charters have been
doing this for several years. That
doesnt make it right.
DePasquale recommended the
Department of Education seek
total reimbursement of $557,848
from the six schools. In addition
to the $106,332 fromBear Creek,
hes seeking $94,266 from Fell
Charter, Carbondale; $60,248
from School Lane Charter, Ben-
salem; $191,267 from Roberto
Clemente Charter, Allentown;
$85,375 from Keystone Charter,
Greenville; and $20,360 from Ev-
ergreen Charter, Cresco.
DePasquale noted the decision
to seek repayment lies with the
Department of Education, as the
auditor general has no authority
to require the agency to take ac-
tion. Tim Eller, a spokesman for
the Department of Education,
said the departments secretary
will review the audits and deter-
mine what, if any, action should
be taken.
Blazejewski said Bear Creek
board members are disappointed
by the auditor generals ndings,
which they continue to dispute.
If the Department of Educa-
tion agrees and withholds the
lease payments, it will dry up
an important revenue source the
school uses for upkeep of build-
ings and construction of new
structures, he said.
The school received an aver-
age of $30,000 to $40,000 in
lease reimbursements annually
from the state, he said.
Funding for charter schools
comes from local public school
districts, which are required to
pay charters 80 percent of the
designated per-pupil tuition
cost. Unlike public schools, char-
ter schools are not eligible for
a state program that provides
funding for new construction,
Blazejewski said.
The lease payment money
helped make up for that short-
fall, he said.
Its the only way we can do
anything to upkeep our existing
buildings or build new build-
ings, Blazejewski said. We
dont have the ability to raise tax-
es. We have to sit back passively
and take what is given to us.
Other audit issues
Bear Creek also took issue
with several other ndings in
the audit, including questions of
whether the schools chief execu-
tive ofcer, Jim Smith, violated
state ethics rules by serving as
CEO of the school and president
of the Bear Creek Charter Foun-
dation, the entity that leased the
buildings to the school.
The audit raised concerns that
a conict of interest existed be-
cause there was no clear separa-
tion of duties between Smith in
his capacity as school CEO and
foundation president. That could
result in inaccuracies in nan-
cial reports led by the charter
school relating to the amount
of rental payments being paid,
which might not be detected be-
cause of the lack of separation of
duties, the audit said.
Smith no longer serves as
president of the foundation,
Blazejewski said. The school
took particular issue with that
nding for the years he did serve
as president, calling it baseless
and defamatory.
Your draft audit implies
that there is a potential for inten-
tional inaccuracies in nancial
reports due to an alleged conict
of interest. This is nothing more
than conjecture, and there is no
evidence that inaccuracies ex-
ist, the school said in a written
response included in the audit.
The school called upon the
auditor general to withdraw all
its ndings related to the lease
payments and alleged conict of
interest. It is not only wholly
without merit, but defamatory
of the charter school, the foun-
dation and the CEO, the school
said.

cis has a deep commitment
to the Catholic faith, a strong
sense of humility and a love of
the poor.
A statue of St. Francis of
Assisi stands at the rear of St.
Peters in Scranton. Bambera
expects Pope Francis to be a
reection of St. Francis to
be committed to the Gospel,
he said.
Peggy Bostwick of Pocono
Pines said she attends every
special Mass that Bambera
holds. This is something
special, she said of the Mass
for Pope Francis. And Bishop
Bambera is special; he is al-
ways worth listening to.
Bostwick was surprised at
the selection of the cardinal
from Buenos Aires, she said,
but she feels Pope Francis,
76, is just what the Catholic
Church needs. I think a lot of
people were expecting to see a
much younger pope, she said.
There were a lot of young fac-
es in Vatican Square last night,
but I think everyone is thrilled
at the choice.
Bostwick said Pope Fran-
cis, despite being a Jesuit,
will bring conservatism to the
church. Over the last several
years, I think we have gotten
away from a lot of the basics of
Catholicism, she said. I think
Pope Francis will be more
mainstream.
Tom and Dolores Gronski
of Scranton said their daugh-
ter attended the University of
Scranton a Jesuit school
and was born on St. Francis
Day. I think its great that he
is from this hemisphere, said
Dolores Gronski. Its a new
beginning.
Tom Gronski said he took
a bottle of Argentine wine to
Mass on Wednesday evening
after the election of Pope Fran-
cis. He gave it to the priest who
celebrated the Mass in the Uni-
versity of Scrantons chapel.
I hope he shared it, he
said. Its good wine.

League
gets a
new look
The NHL map is nally in
order with Detroit and Colum-
bus heading east, and Winnipeg
moving west.
Were thrilled, absolutely
thrilled, Blue Jackets executive
John Davidson said on a tele-
phone conference call Thursday,
shortly after the realignment
plan was approved in a vote by
the leagues board of governors.
We tend to use the (term) com-
mon sense around here. This
seems to make a lot of common
sense.
The new format goes into ef-
fect next season, and will feature
two eight-team divisions in the
Eastern Conference, including
the Red Wings and Blue Jackets.
The Jets will now be part of a
Western Conference thats made
up of two seven-team divisions.
Its a plan that Commissioner
Gary Bettman called fan-friend-
ly, because it aligns teams by
divisions that are mostly in the
same time zones. And Bettman
noted it will re-establish numer-
ous rivalries by geography and
tradition.
Detroit returns to the East in
a yet-to-be named division that
will feature three other Original
Six franchises, Toronto, Boston
and Montreal. And Winnipeg is
now part of a central-based divi-
sion after having spent the past
two years playing in the South-
east.
We think this is a common
sense practical realignment,
Bettman said.
Without providing details,
Bettman said the vote conduct-
ed by email was not unanimous,
but well in excess of the two-
thirds majority required.
The new format also creates
changes in determining the 16-
team playoff eld. The top three
teams in each division will qual-
ify for the postseason. The next
two teams with the best records
in each conference will then
earn wild-card berths.
That will make it more dif-
cult for teams to qualify in the
East, because it will have two
more clubs than the West com-
peting for eight berths.
The NHL Players Associa-
tion had already signed off on
the realignment format, which
will be in place for at least three
seasons.
The Atlanta Thrashers reloca-
tion to Winnipeg two years ago
Detroit and Columbus go to
Eastern Conference, while
Winnipeg moves to Western.

Big day for Back Mountain swimmers
LEWISBURG A self-proclaimed
baseball guy went 3-for-4 in his swings at
state medals in his second sport of swim-
ming.
And it was another day, another top-
three nish for District 2 divers.
Led by a bronze medal performance
from Lake-Lehman diver Matthew Ed-
kins and one more medal in the pocket
of Dallas swimmer Brian Stepniak, the
Wyoming Valley Conference came up
with a big nish Thursday to the PIAA
Class 2A Swimming and Diving Cham-
pionships.
Its a great way to nish my career,
said Stepniak, a senior who nished sev-
enth in the boys 200 freestyle Thursday
with a time of 47.98 seconds. I never
expected to be at this level. Im really
happy I was.
He may be headed to the University of
Hartford to pitch on a baseball scholar-
ship in the fall, but Stepniak was a big
hit at Bucknell Universitys Kinney Nata-
torium this week.
Stepniak started his nal state swim-
ming run by earning seventh place in the
50-yard freestyle event Wednesday, then
helped the Mountaineers 200 freestyle
relay team place seventh later that eve-
ning. That gave Stepniak three medals in
his rst three state events and he nar-
rowly missed collecting a fourth. Step-
niak led off for Dallas 400 freestyle relay
team, which wound up ninth in Thurs-
day mornings preliminaries and settled
for swimming in a consolation heat.
I feel real good, Stepniak said. Its a
lot more than I expected.
His performance highlighted a col-
lection of clutch performances by boys

Former Penn State Quarterback Matt McGloin signs autographs before the annual Boy Scout Dinner Thursday in Wilkes-Barre.
McGloin stays busy while prepping for pros

WILKES-BARREOn Thursday, it was
a prestigious stint as a keynote speaker. At
the start of the week, he had a baseball
eld named after him. Up soon is a trip to
Harrisburg, where he will be honored by
the state legislature.
College football is over for Matt Mc-
Gloin. But his schedule is as busy as ever.
When the former Penn State quarter-
back isnt preparing for a shot at the NFL,
hes appearing at events such as the Boy
Scouts of Americas Distinguished Citizens
Award Dinner, signing autographs and giv-
ing high-ves to excited kids.
McGloin was invited to be the guest
speaker Thursday for the annual dinner,
hosted by the Northeastern Pennsylvania
Council at Genettis in Wilkes-Barre. He
joined an impressive list of football lumi-
naries such as Mike Ditka, Andy Reid and
Charlie Weis, who have lled the role in
recent years.
Being from the area, I was happy to
help out in any way I can, McGloin said.
Its great company to even be recognized
in the same sentence as some of those
guys. Speaking at something like this is
truly an honor.
McGloin has certainly been visible in the
community before and after his record-set-
ting season at Penn State. In the winter he
was the face of charity events in Scranton
beneting the Childrens Advocacy Center
of Northeastern Pennsylvania.
He has previously been the Native Son
Honoree at Scrantons St. Patricks Day
parade and even had a Matt McGloin Day
declared in Lackawanna County. Most re-
cently, Penn States Worthington branch
campus in Scranton announced it would
be naming its under-construction baseball
diamond Matt McGloin Field.
While his name is certainly recognizable
in Pennsylvania, McGloin has gone on the

Erick Aybar singled home the
go-ahead run in the ninth for

Aybar singled sharply and ran to

Philadelphia Phillies manager Charlie Manuel looks on during
a spring training game against the Tampa Bay Rays ealier this
month in Port Charlotte, Fla. Manuel says he has no plans to
retire.
CLEARWATER, Fla. Char-
lie Manuel gures he has plenty
of time to see his grandchildren,
play golf and travel the world
during the offseason.
Manuel, who is in the nal
season of his contract with the
Philadelphia Phillies, made it
clear he wants to continue as
manager beyond this year. Re-
tirement plans havent even en-
tered his mind.
I still want to manage, Man-
uel told The Associated Press
on Thursday. Im not ready for
somebody to tell me to go home.
Im not ready to quit managing.
Im not ready to get out of the
game.
Manuel is the franchises all-
time leader in wins and only
the second manager to lead the
Phillies to a world champion-
ship. Its widely assumed that
Hall of Fame second baseman
Ryne Sandberg, the teams new
third-base coach, will eventually
replace him as the manager.
If the Phillies struggle this
season, people will call for
Sandberg to replace Manuel
immediately. If the Phillies win
it all, some think the 69-year-
old Manuel would be willing to
walk away on top.
Thats not the case.
I dont want anyone to think
that, Manuel insisted. I still
want to manage.
Manuel has led the Phillies to
ve straight NL East titles, two
pennants and the 2008 World
Series title. The postseason
streak ended last year when
the Phillies couldnt overcome
a slew of injuries and nished
81-81.
Considering his success and
desire to keep his job, a contract
extension would seem appropri-
ate. But general manager Ruben
Amaro Jr. made it clear thats
not happening now.
Well see what happens at
the end of the year and go from
there, Amaro said.
Manuel isnt one to make de-
mands, but it seems hes a bit
peeved.
Im not disappointed in it
at all. I dont know if I get it or
not, Manuel said. I think they
can do whatever they want to do.
Thats how I look at it. Actually,
when you get right down to it, it
doesnt bother me a whole lot be-
cause I have nothing to do with
it. If you stop and think about it,
I dont have nothing to do with it.
I mean that in a good way.

Carlos Gomez
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Car-
los Gomez ran after balls hit
into the outeld and zipped
from base to base with the same
intensity, his big new contract
apparently not affecting his
style of play.
Gomez and the Milwaukee
Brewers agreed to a four-year,
$28.3 million deal on Wednes-
day, and Gomez played in a
spring game hours later.
The 27-year-old center elder
would have been eligible for
free agency after this season.
He agreed to a one-year, $4.3
million deal in January, and the
new contract includes salaries
of $7 million in 2014, $8 million
in 2015 and $9 million in 2016.
Gomez hit .260 with 19 hom-
ers and 37 stolen bases in 137
games in 2012. He was one of
only ve players in the majors
with at least 15 homers and 30
stolen bases, joining teammate
Ryan Braun, the Los Angeles
Angels Mike Trout, Tampa
Bays B.J. Upton and Philadel-
phias Jimmy Rollins.
Gomez was in the starting
lineup for the Brewers against
the Arizona and went 0 for 2
with a walk.
I feel really good that Ill be
able to stay three more years
with the Brewers now that
theyve given me a new oppor-
tunity, Gomez said in Spanish
after leaving the game. It was
important for me to sign for
three more years because this
was going to be my fourth year
with the organization that gave
me a chance. I know I can have
a better year than last year, and
thats why I decided to sign for
longer.
Brewers president and gen-
eral manager Doug Melvin
praised Gomez in in a statement
from the club.
He has always had the physi-
cal skills, and his recent perfor-
mance has given us the con-
dence that he will take the next
step in becoming one of the top
center elders in the game,
Melvin said. His energy, speed
and aggressive style of play is
a perfect t for Ron Roenickes
style of managing.
Skipping the World Baseball
Classic with his fellow Do-
minicans was difcult, but
Gomez said one of the
reasons he did so was be-
cause he wanted to get the
contract done.
If I didnt sign,
I was going to
have a tough
preseason think-
ing about it, he
said. I was going
to be preparing to
have a huge season (in
a contract year). I didnt
think that was the best
option for me or my fu-
ture, to go to the World
Baseball Classic. Either
way, it was going to be
on my mind. If I didnt
sign, I was going to be
here (in Arizona) to work
on having a huge season.
Gomez knows now that
he and his family are nan-
cially secure.

Matheny
returns to
Cardinals
The Associated Press
JUPITER, Fla. Cardi-
nals manager Mike Matheny
returned to the club Thursday
after undergoing back surgery
Monday in St. Louis.
Matheny was best with
severe pain
for several
days, stem-
ming from a
ruptured disc
in his back
that caused
particles to
come into
contact with
a nerve. Sur-
geons found and removed four
particles during a 90-minute
procedure, known as a microd-
iscectomy.
It was something, as much
as I was going to try to put it
off, it would not have gotten
better on its own, Matheny
said. It had to be taken care of.
I was impressed with how
much better I felt right away. I
still have a long way to go but
denitely better.
Matheny hoped an epidural
shot would relieve the pain and
help with the inammation but
the effects of that soon wore
off and he had no choice but to
have the procedure back in St.
Louis.
The second-year Cardinals
manager returned home Sun-
day night, missing games on
Monday and Tuesday before
returning Wednesday evening.
Matheny doesnt expect to
miss any additional time but
said he was told not to lift any-
thing heavier than ve pounds
for the next eight weeks. Its
unclear whether hell be able
to throw batting practice in the
near future.
It doesnt take very much to
make you appreciate the health
that you have, Matheny said.
Things like your back that you
use all the time, you do take
it for granted. Its good to feel
better.
Twins send RHP Gibson
to Triple-A Rochester
MINNEAPOLIS Minne-
sota Twins right-hander Kyle
Gibson will begin his comeback
season from Tommy John sur-
gery in the minors.
The Twins optioned Gib-
son to Triple-A Rochester on
Thursday.
The former rst-round draft
pick was considered among the
favorites to make the Twins
rotation to start the season. But
he struggled with his com-
mand in four spring training
outings. Gibson gave up eight
runs in eight innings over those
four appearances. He threw
three wild pitches in one in-
ning against Philadelphia last
weekend.
That, coupled with right-
hander Cole De Vries strong
spring, may have convinced the
Twins to start Gibson in the
minors.
They also optioned left-hand-
er Caleb Thielbar to Rochester
and reassigned right-hander
Anthony Slama, catcher Kyle
Knudson and inelder James
Beresford to minor league
camp.

The New York Yankees Kevin Youkilis reacts after striking out looking with two runners on base in the third inning of the Yan-
kees 17-5 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays in a spring training game in Dunedin, Fla., on Thursday.
Johnson, Blue Jays rout Yankees
The Associated Press
DUNEDIN, Fla. Josh
Johnson allowed one run over
three innings, Maicer Izturis
had ve RBIs, and the Toronto
Blue Jays routed the New York
Yankees 17-5 on Thursday.
Johnson, coming off a start
last Friday in which he retired
all 11 batters he faced, gave up
two hits and struck out ve.
The right-hander is part of a
revamped Toronto rotation
that includes other offseason
additions R.A. Dickey and
Mark Buehrle.
The biggest challenge
Johnson faced was sitting in
the dugout for long stretches
during a pair of big Toronto
innings on a windy day with a
game time temperature near
60.
Melky Cabrera drove in four
runs for the Blue Jays, who
lead 15-1 after two innings.
Phillies 2, Pirates 1
CLEARWATER, Fla. Pete
Orr hit a tiebreaking homer
in the eighth inning to lift
the Philadelphia Phillies to
a victory over the Pittsburgh
Pirates.
Orr, a veteran utilityman,
connected off former Phillies
left-hander Mike Zagurski,
hitting a long drive to
right.
Phillies starter
Aaron Cook tossed
three one-hit in-
nings. Cook, who
has made one relief
appearance since
2003, is trying to
make the roster
as a long man in the
bullpen.
Pirates starter Kyle
McPherson threw ve
scoreless innings, allowing
four hits. McPherson, who
is competing for the fth
spot in Pittsburghs rota-
tion, helped his chances
after two rough outings.
Tigers 9, Mets 1
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla.
Dillon Gee struggled with
his command, giving up six
runs in the New York Mets 9-1
loss to the Detroit Tigers on
Thursday.
Gee allowed three hits, four
walks and hit two batters in
two innings. He also threw
three wild pitches. Miguel
Cabrera hit a two-run single in
his rst spring training game
back since leaving to play
for Venezuela in the World
Baseball Classic. He homered
in one at-bat for the Tigers in
an exhibition against Florida
Southern on Wednesday.
Cardinals 5, Braves 4
JUPITER, Fla. Joe Kelly
allowed three hits and one
run in four solid innings to
strengthen his claim on the
fth spot in the St. Louis Car-
dinals rotation in a win over
the Atlanta Braves.
Matt Adams broke a 4-all tie
with a two-out single in the
bottom of the eighth inning.
Kelly has had an impres-
sive spring training. He has
allowed just ve hits and two
earned runs in eight innings
over three starts. Shelby Mill-
er, his main competition for
the last rotation spot, allowed
six hits and three earned runs
in 2 2-3 innings.
Nationals 6, Astros 3
VIERA, Fla. Jayson
Werth misplayed a y ball for
a three-base error in the top of
the rst inning then connected
for his rst home run of spring
training in the bottom half
and Micah Owings hit a grand
slam to lead the Washington
Nationals past the Houston
Astros.
Werth connected on a fast-
ball from Alex White.
Rays 4, Orioles 3
SARASOTA, Fla. Bidding
for the fth starters job, Jeff
Niemann allowed one run in
4 1-3 innings as the Tampa
Bay Rays beat the Baltimore
Orioles.
Niemann, whos allowed
three runs in 12 2-3 innings
this spring left with a runner
on. Matt Wieters hit a three-
run homer in the fth off Juan
Sandoval to tie it at 3.
In his rst start for Balti-
more, Kevin Gausman, the
Orioles rst pick in the 2012
draft, allowed two runs in 2
2-3 innings. Luke Scott gave
Tampa Bay a 3-0 lead with a
two-run home run.
The winning run scored on
catcher Luis Expositos error.
Red Sox 7, Twins 3
FORT MYERS, Fla. Mike
Pelfrey gave up ve runs in
two innings as he tries to
accelerate his return from
Tommy John surgery, and the
Minnesota Twins lost to the
Boston Red Sox.
Pelfrey had the elbow-
reconstruction operation May
1 while with the Mets last
season. Typical recuperation
takes about year but he has
pushed his rehab to be ready
for opening day. He allowed
six hits in his fourth start of
spring training.
New Red Sox starter Ryan
Dempster struck out three and
gave up one run a homer
and three hits in four
innings. He struck out three
and walked two, nishing his
fourth spring appearance with
a 2.13 ERA.
Angels 12, White Sox 4
TEMPE, Ariz. Mike
Trout homered and scored
three runs, Howie Kendrick
and Albert Pujols each had
two hits and the Los Angeles
Angels roughed up John Danks
in a win over the Chicago
White Sox.
Danks gave up seven hits
and six runs in 3 1-3 innings.
Trout hit his rst home run of
spring training leading off the
bottom of the rst.
Angels left-hander Jason
Vargas, in his third spring
start, worked 4 2-3 innings
and allowed a run and two hits
with ve strikeouts.
Cubs 8, Dodgers 1
GLENDALE, Ariz.
Catcher Welington Castillo
hit a two-run triple off Chris
Capuano in the rst inning,
leading the Chicago Cubs to a
victory over the Los Angeles
Dodgers at Camelback Ranch.
Cubs left-hander Chris Rusin
threw ve innings of one-hit
ball, a single by shortstop
Alfredo Amezaga in the third.
Rusin, who made seven starts
for the Cubs after spending
most of 2012 with Triple-A
Iowa, has had an impressive
spring. In four appearances,
two as a reliever and two as a
starter, he has allowed only one
run and eight hits in 13 innings.
Royals 5, Indians 3
GOODYEAR, Ariz. Adam
Moore hit two of the Kansas
City Royals seven doubles and
drove in two runs in a victory
over the Cleveland Indians.
Moore, bidding for a job as
backup catcher, had three hits
as the designated hitter.
Starting catcher Salvador
Perez had two hits, including
a double. Mike Moustakas,
David Lough, Johnny Gia-
votella and Chris Getz all had
doubles.
Zach McAllister pitched 3
1-3 innings, allowing three
runs on ve hits, a walk and
two hit batters. Terry Francona
told McAllister that he earned

land rotation on Sunday.
Mariners 8, Reds 7
PEORIA, Ariz. Michael
Morse homered twice and
drove in ve runs to lead the
Seattle Mariners back from a
six-run decit for a win over
the Cincinnati Reds.
Morse doubled and scored
in the second inning, hit his
rst two-run shot in the fourth
off Reds starter Homer Bailey
and connected for his second
two-run shot in the fth off
reliever Clay Hensley. Morse is
11-for-31 in spring training and
leads the team in home runs
with ve.

vnjak said. They crashed the
offensive glass all game long
and we didnt do a great job of
rebounding and that was the dif-
ference.
Ross Travis nished with 12
points and 11 rebounds for the
Nittany Lions (10-21), who will
get Frazier back next year after
the guard went down with an
injury early in the season. Boro-
vnjak scored 10 of his 15 points
in the rst half.
That is going to be one heck
of a teamnext year when Frazier
is back with those guys, Wol-
verines coach John Beilein said.
So thats, I just, I think Pats
done a wonderful job.
Michigan had a chance to
grab a share of the Big Ten title
when it hosted Indiana on Sun-
day, but the Hoosiers won 72-71
after Jordan Morgans last-sec-
ond putback rolled off the rim.
The Wolverines then slipped all
the way to the fth seed for the
conference tournament, giving
them a game on the rst day at
the United Center while the top
four seeds rested.
The one payoff was a chance
to avenge a shaky performance
against the Nittany Lions just
two weeks ago, when Michigan
blew a 15-point lead in the sec-
ond half of an 84-78 loss at Penn
State.
It was obviously in the back
of our head that we were up 15
points with 10 minutes left at
Penn State and that theyre capa-
ble of coming back and winning
the game, Burke said. This is
a team thats playing for pride,
a team thats been through a lot
this year. We just had to make
sure we did what we needed to
do to pull out the win.
This one had a much differ-
ent nish, with the Wolverines
breaking open a close game
with 18-3 run in the second half.
Hardaway got it started with a
jumper and Morgan added a la-
yup to make it 50-45 with 13:36
left. After Jermaine Marshall
scored inside for Penn State,
Burke made another jumper and
the rout was on.
Jon Horford converted a
three-point play and Hardaway
dunked on a fast break to ex-
tend the lead to 64-48 with 9:49
remaining.
They played some great bas-
ketball, thats all I can say, New-
bill said. They hit shots, we
missed shots. They got stops,
we didnt. Cant say much more
than that.

One year ago, Kings and
Wilkes fell just short of crown-
ing a national champion, set-
tling for silver medalists.
The teams will try again this
weekend to claim a gold medal
at the NCAA Division III Wres-
tling Championships at Cedar
Rapids Ice Arena in Cedar Rap-
ids, Iowa.
Wilkes Anthony Dattolo
and the Monarchs Mike Reilly
each nished as runners-up in
2012.
Sophomore 184-pounder
Shane Stark, a Lake-Lehman
grad, will represent the Mon-
archs at the event, looking to
become the schools rst na-
tional champion since Dave
Morgan in 2008.
Wilkes hasnt crowned a
champion since 1975. The
Colonels have four chances
this season. Mark Hartenstine,
Kris Krawchuk, Matt Transue
and Will Fletcher will partici-
pate at nationals. The ve from
the Wilkes-Barre colleges are
joined by Delaware Valleys
Aaron Karns, a Berwick grad,
as wrestlers with local ties in
the event, which is being held
today and tomorrow.
Stark, who was a third-place
nisher at the PIAA Champi-
onships in his time at Lake-
Lehman, took third at the
NCAA East Regional to qualify
for nationals. His only loss of
the regional event came to
eventual champion Brian Brod-
erick from TCNJ. He enters
the tournament with a record
this season of 12-3. His lack of
matches is due to his season
getting a late start because of a
broken arm.
Hartenstine, a 149-pounder,
entering with a mark of 21-2,
was runner-up at the East Re-
gional. He joined the Colonels
in December from Division I
Campbell University and im-
mediately started helping the
team, winning 21 of his rst 22
matches before losing in the re-
gional nal.
Like Hartenstine, Krawchuk
(157 pounds, 24-2 record) was
runner-up at regionals. He and
Hartenstine were both wres-
tling at 149 until Krawchuk
volunteered to bump up to
157. Hes been as hot as his
teammate, winning 24 of 25
until falling at regionals.
Hartenstine and Krawchuk
are seeded third and fourth,
respectively, while Transue
(197, 21-8) enters the event
unseeded after placing third at
regionals.
Fletcher (285, 17-8) is also
unseeded for the national tour-
nament after taking third at re-
gionals. He advanced to nation-
als the hard way. After losing in
the quarternals, he wrestled
back to win four times in the
consolations to take third and
qualify.
Berwick alum Karns (197,
29-4) was state runner-up
while wrestling for the Bull-
dogs. He claimed the East Re-
gional championship and is the
No. 3 seed for this weekends
tourney.

helped precipitate the need for
realignment.
All three teams making the
switch will benet, because
they will no longer have to make
extended road trips outside of
their time zones.
As much as we enjoyed those
trips down south, I think our
team and our coaches are very
pleased to know were going
to be playing in a Central time
zone, Jets chairman Mark Chip-
man said. I think its very excit-
ing for us as an organization and
our fans to be geographically
located where we ought to be.
The Dallas Stars, Colorado
Avalanche and Minnesota Wild
should also benet from the
change. They will nowbe in a di-
vision mostly made up of teams
that play in the same Central
time zone.
Stars CEO Jim Lites said the
switch from the Pacic Division
will benet his players and fans.
Lites said TV ratings dropped
by as much as 60 percent be-
cause of the later start times
when the Stars played against
their division rivals on the West
Coast. He also noted that the
team lost between seven and 10
practice days a season because
of travel.
No one is a bigger benecia-
ry in this than the Dallas Stars,
Lites said.
Its no different for Columbus.
Ive done a lot of town hall
conferences with our fans here,
and 99.999 (percent) of our fans
really wanted to desperately
be in the East, Davidson said.
So when you get out the ledger
sheet and you go pros and cons,
I dont think there is anything
on the negative side. This is all
positive.
All teams will play each other
both home and away at least
once each season. And teams
will play division rivals at least
four times a season.
With Detroit and Toronto set
to be in the same division, it re-
vived questions of whether the
two will meet in the leagues an-
nual Winter Classic next season.
The two were supposed to play
at Michigan Stadium on Jan. 1
this season.
Bettman hinted of that being
a possibility.
We think the notion of hav-
ing Toronto play Detroit at the
Big House is a good thing to
do, Bettman said.

He authored an essay that
was sent to pro teams and me-
dia outlets about growing up in
Scranton and howit shaped his
life and football career, going
from a walk-on to Penn States
starting quarterback.
And, he hopes, an eventual
spot on an NFL roster.
Penn States pro day was
Monday in State College with
representatives from all 32
teams on hand, as the outgo-

hurt that he got to play for a
year in an NFL-style offense for
Bill OBrien, who has plenty of
ties to the league himself.
He really gave me the keys
to the offense. He put a lot
of trust and a lot of faith in
me, McGloin said of OBrien.
Hopefully teams can realize
that and let me come in and
see what I can do.
Aside from his years spent
coaching with the New Eng-
land Patriots, OBrien has the
ear of a pair of rst-year NFL
head coaches who will be look-
ing for players in the draft and
free agency afterward.
New Buffalo Bills coach
Doug Marrone is one of
OBriens closest friends in the
profession. New Philadelphia
Eagles boss Chip Kelly has also
known OBrien for years and
consulted the Patriots on their
no-huddle offense while he was
at Oregon.
It was Kelly who singled out
McGloin earlier this month
at the Maxwell Football Club
banquet. McGloin and much
of the Lions senior class made
the trip to Atlantic City, as the
group was honored with a spe-
cial spirit award and OBrien
was presented with the orga-
nizations coach of the year
award.
A video that played before
OBriens presentation de-
scribed how he went from
coaching Tom Brady to inherit-
ing a sometimes erratic Matt
McGloin.
When Kelly took the podium
later in the evening, he had
some kind words for OBrien
and Penn State before address-
ing McGloin by name.
I wasnt great at the SATs.
I guess I learned that the word
erratic is synonymous with
winner. Because that kids
a winner, Kelly said. I love
watching you play, and Im a
huge fan of yours.

Lehmans Edkins used a
strong nish to secure third
place in the state and roll up
a total of 407.35 points, while
Dallas Marcus Wagner topped
a school record hed already bro-
ken in the consolations of the

ished 13th overall.
But the day wasnt completely
owned by athletes living within

ed, with Tunkhannocks Ben
Spencer earning his second
state medal in as many days by
taking sixth place in the 100

and Scranton Preps Mia Non-
nenberg easily pocketing her
second gold medal of the week.
Nonnenberg coasted to victory
in Thursdays girls 500 freestyle
by more than eight seconds.
Also, Crestwood twin broth-
ers Josh and Joseph Grzech
swam in separate state con-
solation heats Thursday, with
Joseph chopping a half-second
off his seed time to move from
19th to 16th in the 100 breast-
roke and Josh nishing 12th
in the 100 freestyle. Wyoming
Seminary diver Andriy Molcha-
nov made the seminal round
and nished 10th overall with
a score of 338.9. And Holy Re-
deemer breastroker Terry Vra-
bec also swam his way into a
consolation heat.
Its great, said Spencer,
who also captured fth place in
Wednesdays 200 IM. Coming
into this, I didnt know how Id
do. I ended up medaling twice. I
really had no idea Id do that. Its
great that I did, though. It feels
great.
Thursdays great performanc-
es fromthe WVCbegan with Ed-
kins overcoming his fears.
After recording scores of over
31 on his ninth and 10th dives,
Edkins executed the tricky re-
verse 1 1/2 somersault tuck to
near-perfection on his nal at-
tempt and locked up a bronze
medal with a score of 36.75 for
the effort.
That last one, sometimes I
have trouble with, Edkins said.
I really wanted to make sure I
hit that. Im so proud that I did.
I was denitely nervous. I just
wanted to really, really hit it.
The big nish moved Edkins
three spots up from where he
stood on last years medal stand,
when he took sixth place for
Lehman.
He did what I said and ex-
ecuted his dives unbelievably to-
day, Lehman coach Erin Yurko
said. Big improvement (from
last year). His reverse reverse 1
1/2, that could be a hit or miss
for him. He hit it.

With the nal out, several

The retractable roof was

vored by Dominican spectators.
Their racket more than matched
the cheers of U.S. fans in the

There was plenty of ag-wav-

WACO, Texas Long before
Brittney Griner was swatting
away shots for top-ranked Bay-
lor, there was another 6-foot-8
womens college player getting
blocks at a record pace.
Anne Donovan was a domi-
nating center for Old Domin-
ion three decades ago with
801 blocks, more than Griners
NCAA-recognized record for
men or women of 736 and
counting.
That was in a much different
era of womens basketball.
Its so funny. Every time they
post her shot block record I get
a lot of phone calls, said Dono-
van, who averaged. 5.9 blocks
in her 136 career games. The
AIAW is a whole lot different
than the NCAA today.
Donovan was part of the
Lady Monarchs AIAW national
title as a freshman in 1980, be-
fore they nished third in that
tournament the next year. She
played 73 games under the
AIWA classication, and 63
more after that including the
rst two NCAA tournaments,
with a Final Four appearance as
the host team during Donovans
senior season.
Baylor has already been to
the NCAA Final Four twice in
Griners career. The defending
national champion Lady Bears
(32-1) will surely be the No. 1
overall seed again in the NCAA
tournament for her senior sea-
son, and are set to host rst- and
second-round games starting
March 24.
A chance for Griner to add
a few more blocks, some more
points and rebounds, and maybe
even another dunk or two.
With no more than six games
left, Griner is 65 blocks short of
Donovans mark. Any chance of
matching her?
I dont know about that.
Maybe. Probably not, Griner
said. Id have to do some crazy
stuff.
Griner would have to double
her career average of 5.1 blocks
per game in the NCAA tourna-
ment, assuming the Lady Bears
got to the national title game.
Baylor coach KimMulkey and
Donovan were teammates on
the U.S. Olympic team that won
the gold medal in 1984, a year
after their college teams faced
each other in an NCAA national
seminal game Old Domin-
ion lost to Louisiana Tech and
Mulkey, then a pigtailed point
guard.
Theyre both tall. Thats the
comparison, Mulkey said of her
current star player and former
Olympic teammate. Brittney
is just so athletic going up and
down the oor. Anne was one
of the tallest and most talented
players during her era, when we
played in the 80s. But I dont
know that you can compare the
two. Other than height, their
games were not really, I would
say, alike.
Donovan, who is leaving Se-
ton Hall after three years as the
womens coach to return to the
WNBA as coach of the Connect-
icut Sun, certainly agrees.
Shes going to be the No. 1
pick in the draft. Shes super tal-
ented and its not just about the
blocks with her, Donovan said
with a smile adding, I can tell
you I never had a dunk in the
game.
Along with all those blocks,
Griner has 14 career dunks. To
put that in perspective, the six
other women who have dunked
in an NCAA game had a com-
bined 15 dunks.
Another 6-8 woman had more blocks than Griner

Syracuse tops Pitt in last game before move to ACC
NEW YORK James Southerland
had a second straight great effort from
3-point range and Michael Carter-
Williams scored Syracuses last seven
points as the 19th-ranked Orange held
off No. 17 Pittsburgh 62-59 on Thurs-
day in the quarternals of the Big East
tournament.
It was the last meeting between the
schools under the Big East banner as
they are both leaving for the Atlantic
Coast Conference next season. The
nal 1:15 of the game was a great way
for the programs to play one last time
in the Big East.
Southerland had 20 points as he did
in the win over Seton Hall and again
almost all the points came from be-
yond the 3-point arc. He was 6 for 6 on
3s against Pittsburgh, a day after going
6 for 9 from beyond the arc against
Seton Hall.
Carter-Williams had 11 points and
seven assists for the fth-seeded
Orange (25-8), who will meet top-
seeded Georgetown in the seminals
on tonight.
Georgetown 62, Cincinnati 43
NEW YORK Otto Porter Jr.
scored 18 points and No. 5 George-
town advanced to the Big East tourna-
ment seminals, recovering from a
mid-game hiccup to beat Cincinnati.
Markel Starks had 14 points and
DVauntes Smith-Rivera added 13 off
the bench, including a tiebreaking
3-pointer that sparked a game-turning
run for the top-seeded Hoyas (25-5).
Georgetown, looking to land a No.
1 seed in the NCAA tournament,
squandered an early 16-point cushion
and fell behind briey in the second
half before clamping down with its
trademark defense to pull away.
Cashmere Wright scored 14 points
on 4-of-5 shooting from 3-point range
to lead the ninth-seeded Bearcats (22-
11), but running mate Sean Kilpatrick
was off his game. The teams top
scorer at 17 points per game, he man-
aged only four on 2-for-12 shooting
and missed all eight of his tries from
beyond the arc.
Louisville 75, Villanova 55
NEW YORK Russ Smith scored
28 points in a bittersweet homecom-
ing, leading No. 4 Louisville into the
Big East tournament seminals with a
victory over Villanova only hours after
the death of his esteemed high school
coach.
Smith and the defending champion
Cardinals (27-5) harassed Villanova
into 25 turnovers and advanced to play
Notre Dame or Marquette in the late
game Friday night at Madison Square
Garden.
Luke Hancock added 12 points off
the bench for second-seeded Louisville,
which has won eight straight seven
by at least 14 points. Peyton Siva, the
tournament MVP last year, scored 10.
JayVaughn Pinkston had 21 points
for the seventh-seeded Wildcats (20-
13), condent theyll receive an at-large
bid to the NCAA tournament Sunday
thanks to a string of high-prole wins
against top-notch opponents this sea-
son. Mouphtaou Yarou added 13 points
and 11 rebounds.
BIG TEN
Illinois 51, Minnesota 49
CHICAGO Brandon Paul scored
25 points and hit a fadeaway jumper at
the buzzer to lead Illinois to a victory
over Minnesota in the rst round of
the Big Ten tournament.
Illinois (22-11) led by as much as
12 but was trailing by three when D.J.
Richardson nailed a 3 with 47 seconds
left to tie it at 49. That basket came
after the Illini missed four shots on the
possession.
The Gophers (20-12) had a chance
to win it, but Austin Hollins stepped
on the sideline after catching an in-
bounds pass with 14 seconds left. Paul
then raced up the court and pulled
up for the winner as time expired,
sending the eighth-seeded Illini to the
quarternals against top-seeded and
third-ranked Indiana.
Nebraska 57, Purdue 55
CHICAGO Shavon Shields scored
19 points, Brandon Ubel added 16
points and eight rebounds and Ne-
braska beat Purdue in the rst round
of the Big Ten tournament.
The Cornhuskers (15-17) hung on
after Purdues Terone Johnson missed
two shots in the closing seconds and
will meet No. 10 Ohio State in the
quarternals.
They started the second half on a
9-0 run to turn a two-point lead into a
39-28 advantage and withstood a late
push by the Boilermakers (15-17) to
come away with a surprising victory.
It was 54-53 after Purdues D.J. Byrd
made a 3-pointer with 40 seconds left.
Nebraskas Ray Gallegos then made
the rst free throw and missed the
second, but the Cornhuskers recovered
the ball.
ACC
Boston College 84,
Georgia Tech 64
GREENSBORO, N.C. Olivier
Hanlan set an Atlantic Coast Confer-
ence tournament record for freshmen
with 41 points and Boston College
beat Georgia Tech in the rst round.
The ACCs rookie of the year had
the highest-scoring game in the
tournament by any player regardless
of class since 1970 and broke the old
mark of 40 set two years ago by North
Carolinas Harrison Barnes.
He was 14 of 18, made his nal 12
shots and was a one-man show in
bringing the eighth-seeded Eagles (16-
16) back from an early 15-0 decit and
into a Friday quarternal against No. 9
Miami, the tournaments top seed.
Marcus Georges-Hunt had 21 points
and 11 rebounds to lead the ninth-
seeded Yellow Jackets (16-15), who
have lost ve of seven and now are
likely left to hope for an invitation to
the NIT.
N.C. State 80, Virgina Tech 63
GREENSBORO, N.C. Richard
Howell scored 22 points with 12
rebounds while Lorenzo Brown led
the defensive effort on league player
of the year Erick Green to help North
Carolina State beat Virginia Tech.
C.J. Leslie scored 15 points for the
fth-seeded Wolfpack (23-9), who shot
52.8 percent (28 of 53) and took con-
trol with an 11-0 second-half run. N.C.
State led by 17 points after that spurt
and never let the 12th-seeded Hokies
(13-19) get the margin under double
gures again.
Brown had nine points, 12 assists
and seven rebounds, but did his best
work as a nagging defense presence
against Green the nations leading
scorer at 25.4 points per game. Green
nished with 15 on 5-for-19 shooting
for one more frustrating ACC tourna-
ment performance in the seniors nal
game.
BIG 12
Iowa State 73, Oklahoma 66
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Melvin Ejim
had a double-double and Will Clyburn
fueled a 12-0 second-half run, helping
Iowa State survive an uncharacteristic
3-point drought to beat Oklahoma and
end a seven-year losing streak in the
Big 12 tournament.
The Cyclones, who led the coun-
try and set a school record with 309
3-pointers, missed 11 of their rst 12
from behind the arc and fell 14 points
behind. But they found the range in
the second half and hit six 3-pointers
while chalking up their rst confer-
ence tournament win since 2005.
Kansas State 66, Texas 49
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Rodney Mc-
Gruder scored 24 points and sparked
an 11-0 run in the second half, lifting
No. 11 Kansas State past Texas in the
quarternals of the Big 12 tournament.
An all-conference senior who ranks in
the top 10 in 14 of Kansas States career
categories, McGruder also had a team-
leading seven rebounds as the second-
seeded Wildcats (26-6) whipped the
Longhorns for the third time this year.
Julien Lewis scored 13 points and
Jonathan Holmes had 10 for Texas (16-
17), which trailed almost the entire
game.
The Wildcats held a 43-36 lead mid-
way through the second half when Mc-
Gruders one-handed oater ignited
the run that put the game out of reach.
A moment later, the 6-4 senior stole
the ball at midcourt, drew a foul and
then connected on a 3-pointer over the
Longhorns zone defense. D.J. Johnson
followed with a dunk and McGruder
added a pair of 3-pointers.
Kansas 91, Texas Tech 63
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Ben
McLemore scored 24 points to lead
No. 7 Kansas to a 91-63 rout of Texas
Tech, setting up an intriguing date
with Iowa State in the seminals of
the Big 12 tournament.
The regular-season co-champion,
Kansas was pushed by Texas Tech in
their meeting in Lubbock earlier this
season, but used a big run early in the
second half to put this one away early.
The Jayhawks (27-5) shot 66
percent from the eld (31 of 47), the
best mark by any team in a Big 12
tournament game, in advancing to face
the Cyclones on Friday night. Kansas
needed overtime to beat them in both
of their regular-season games.
Dejan Kravic scored 20 points,
Dusty Hannahs added 15 and Jordan
Tolbert had 13 for the Red Raiders
(11-20),
ATLANTIC 10
Charlotte 68, Richmond 63
NEW YORK Pierria Henry hit
eight free throws in the nal ve
seconds of a wild start to the Atlantic
10 tournament, and Charlotte stunned
Richmond.
The Spiders, who led by 63-60 with
4.7 seconds to go, were called for three
technical fouls as the 49ers took the
lead from the foul line with the clock
stopped.
It all started when Richmond chose
to foul Charlotte to prevent the 49ers
from attempting a tying 3-pointer.
After Henry made the front end of a
one-and-one, the Spiders Derrick Wil-
liams was called for a technical while
ghting for the rebound.
Saint Josephs 58, Xavier 57
NEW YORK Langston Galloway
hit two free throws with 1.4 seconds
left to lead Saint Josephs past Xavier
in the rst round of the Atlantic 10
tournament.
The Musketeers had a great chance
at the buzzer, when Justin Martins
full-court pass ricocheted off the back-
board and straight into the hands of
Isaiah Philmore. But Philmore missed
the easy layup, the ball bouncing
off the rim as he fell to the court in
dismay.
Galloway nished with 14 points
for the 10th-seeded Hawks (18-12,
8-8), who face second-seeded VCU in
Fridays quarternals at the Barclays
Center.
Travis Taylor led seventh-seeded
Xavier (17-14, 9-7) with 16 points and
nine rebounds.
Butler 73, Dayton 67
NEW YORK Rotnei Clarke scored
21 points, and Butler advanced at the
Atlantic 10 tournament with a 73-67
rst-round victory over Dayton.
The fth-seeded Bulldogs will need
to win four games in four days if they
want a conference tourney title in
their rst and perhaps last sea-
son in the A-10.
Clarke shot 6 of 12 from behind
the 3-point arc and added ve assists.
Fellow senior Andrew Smith had 18
points and six rebounds.
Butler was 10 for 24 on 3-point tries,
while the Flyers attempted just four.
Josh Benson had 18 points to lead
12th-seeeded Dayton (17-14, 7-9).

Watson and Davis had ve assists
apiece, and both went 7 for 11 from
the eld with Davis making four
3-pointers and Watson three.

set career-highs with 24 points and
six 3-pointers, Adonis Thomas scored
17 points and No. 20 Memphis beat
Tulane in the quarternals of the Con-
ference USA tournament.
The top-seeded Tigers (28-4) took
control by scoring the nal 14 points
of the rst half, with Crawford hitting
a pair of 3-pointers and then soaring
for a right-handed dunk on a fast break
to nish it off and make it 44-27. D.J.
Stephens also had a two-handed slam
and a putback during the big burst.
Josh Davis had 21 points and 15
rebounds to lead eighth-seeded Tulane
(19-14), which could never get closer
than 10 in the second half.
Memphis, trying to win its seventh
Conference USA tournament in eight
years, won its 22nd straight game in
the series between the two teams.
UTEP 80, Houston 69
TULSA, Okla. Julian Washburn

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Jordan
McRae scored 17 points Thursday as
fth-seeded Tennessee defeated No. 13
seed Mississippi State in the second

tournament.
Tennessee (20-11) won for the ninth
time in its last 10 games to advance
to a Friday quarternal against No. 4
seed Alabama (20-11) in a matchup of
NCAA tournament bubble teams. Ten-
nessee and Alabama split their regular-
season matchups, with the home team
winning each time.
LSU 68, Georgia 63
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Shavon
Coleman scored 24 points, and the
LSU Tigers held off Georgia to give
rst-year coach Johnny Jones a win in
his Southeastern Conference tourna-
ment debut.
LSU, which started league play by
losing its rst four games, now has
won three of four. The Tigers (19-11)
will play No. 13 Florida in the quarter-
nals Friday.
Georgia (15-17) has lost two
straight. The Bulldogs trailed by as
much as 23 before whittling away
LSUs lead. They used a 12-3 run to
pull within 66-63 with 28.5 seconds
left. Andre Stringer hit two free throws
to nish off the win after Kentavious
Caldwell-Pope hit off the rim from 25
feet away.

Arizona State in the quarternals of
the Pac-12 tournament.
Wearing new uniforms with sleeves
and camouage-patterned shorts that
looked like pajamas, the top-seeded
Bruins (24-8) played like they were
barely awake well into the second half.
UCLA rallied behind Muhammad,

Eagles land defensive help
N F L R O U N D U P
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA Revamp-
ing a secondary that posted one
of the worst statistical seasons
in recent history clearly is a top
priority for the Philadelphia
Eagles.
The team signed cornerback
Cary Williams and safety Kenny
Phillips on Thursday, giving
them four new faces in the de-
fensive backeld in a three-day
span. The Eagles signed safety
Patrick Chung and cornerback
Bradley Fletcher on the rst
day of free agency on Tuesday.
They stayed on defense later
Thursday, signing linebacker
Connor Barwin to a six-year
deal shortly afterward.
Gone are former starting
cornerbacks Nnamdi Asomu-
gha and Dominique Rodgers-
Cromartie. Asomugha was
released in the wake of two
disappointing seasons in Phila-
delphia. Rodgers-Cromartie
signed with Denver.
Williams agreed to a three-
year deal, and is coming off
a big season with the Super
Bowl-champion Baltimore Ra-
vens. He started all 16 games,
posting four interceptions and
67 tackles. A seventh-round
pick of the Tennessee Titans
in 2008, Williams joined the
Ravens in 2009 and earned
a starting role in 2011. The
28-year-old Williams has started
all 32 games for Baltimore
since 2011.
Williams and Fletcher are the
leading candidates for the two
starting spots with holdover
Brandon Boykin keeping his
spot as the nickel cornerback.
Phillips comes to Philadel-
phia after ve seasons with the
rival New York Giants. A rst-
round selection of the Giants in
2008, the 26-year-old Phillips
had four interceptions and 72
tackles in 2011, as New York
won the Super Bowl. A former
Miami Hurricane, Phillips has
battled knee injuries through-
out his career.
Phillips will probably com-
pete with Nate Allen to start
alongside Chung.
In four seasons with Hous-
ton, Barwin had 109 tackles, 19
sacks and two fumble recover-
ies. Barwin was a second-round
pick (46th overall) in 2009. He
missed most of the 2010 season
with a broken right ankle, then
moved to outside linebacker
from defensive end when Wade
Phillips became the coordinator
and converted the Texans to a
3-4 defense.
Barwin ourished in the new
system in 2011, leading the
Texans with 11 sacks. He set
a single-game franchise record
with four in a game against
Jacksonville.
Giants add to
defensive backeld
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
The New York Giants have
taken steps to improve their
defensive backeld, agreeing to
deals with safety Ryan Mundy
and cornerback Aaron Ross in
free agency.
Ross, a former New York
No. 1 draft choice, played for
the Giants from 2007-2011
and started in two Super Bowl
victories. He played last season
with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Mundy arrives by way of Pitts-
burgh, where he played four
seasons for the Steelers. He
played in all 16 regular-season
games in each of those seasons,
with ve starts, and also played
in four Pittsburgh postseason
games.
Source: Vikings agree
to terms with Cassel
MINNEAPOLIS A person
with knowledge of the deal says
the Minnesota Vikings have
agreed to terms with quarter-
back Matt Cassel.
The Vikings and Cassel came
to agreement on Thursday,
the same day he was formally
released by the Kansas City
Chiefs with two years left on
his contract. The person spoke
on condition of anonymity
because the deal, rst reported
by Fox Sports, has not been
announced.
Cassel spent the last four
years in Kansas City. He com-
pleted 58 percent of his passes
for 1,796 yards with six touch-
downs and 12 interceptions in
nine games last year.
Bears sign DT Nate Collins
LAKE FOREST, Ill. The
Chicago Bears say they have
signed defensive tackle Nate
Collins to a one-year contract.
Collins played in nine games
with Chicago last season,
recording 13 tackles. He has ap-
peared in 22 games over three
seasons with the Jacksonville
Jaguars and the Bears and has
23 tackles in his career.

Luke Donald tees off on the eighth hole during the rst round of the Tampa Bay Championship
on Thursday in Palm Harbor, Fla.
Rookie leads at Copperhead
PALM HARBOR, Fla.
Shawn Stefani is the latest
PGA Tour rookie to look com-
fortable on a big stage.
It just took him a little lon-
ger to get there.
In breezy conditions on
a tough golf course, Stefani
never came close to making
a bogey until his nal hole
Thursday in the Tampa Bay
Championship. He rolled in a
par putt from just inside 5 feet
to complete a 6-under 65 and
take a two-shot lead over Brian
Harman.
Kind of fought through a
couple of bad shots coming
in or not so great shots
and managed to get balls
up-and-down and make a few
putts, Stefani said. So all in
all, today was a great day and
looking forward to getting out
there tomorrow.
Theres not many bad
shots in a bogey-free round on
the Copperhead course at In-
nisbrook, which some consider
the best track on the Florida
swing. The course played just
more than two shots over par.
Only 13 players broke 70, and
25 players broke par.
Harman came up short and
into a bunker on the ninth
hole and closed with his lone
bogey for a 67. Harris Eng-
lish nished on the 18th and
also hit into a bunker, except
that he three-putted from 40
feet above the hole and had a
double bogey. That gave him
a 68, tied with Brendan Steele
and Tag Ridings.
Geoff Ogilvy, at No. 49 in
the world and needing to stay
in the top 50 the next three
weeks to get into the Masters,
was in the large group at 69
that included Lucas Glover and
Vijay Singh and K.J. Choi.
Stefani is a 31-year-old from
the Houston area who nally
made it to the PGA Tour by
nishing 16th on the Web.com
Tour money list. He is playing
new courses and staying in
unfamiliar places, though he
had at least a few examples of
other rookies this year to show
the way.
Russell Henley won the
Sony Open, and another rookie
(Scott Langley) played with
him in the nal group. Three
others have played in the nal
group this year Brad Fritsch
at Torrey Pines, James Hahn
at Pebble Beach and Luke
Guthrie two weeks ago at the
Honda Classic.
Its great to see those guys
play well, because I competed
with those guys all last year
and they all won except
Scott on the Web.com last
year a few times and they are
all super nice guys, good play-
ers, Stefani said. Everybody
hits their strides differently.
Im more of patient kind of guy,
and just kind of wait for things
to happen. I know eventually
things will start clicking, and
Ive really been close to playing
good all year.
Defending champion Luke
Donald opened with a 70 and
was angrier than usual, a testa-
ment to the course. Donald
was poised to open with a
great round, at 4 under with
four holes to play despite miss-
ing three birdie chances inside
12 feet.
A poor drive led to bogey on
the sixth. His tee shot on the
par-3 eighth rolled toward the
back lip of a bunker. And then
a ier out of the rough on No.
9 sailed over the green and
into a slope in the bunker with
very little sand. That made
for three bogeys in four holes,
and turned a solid round into a
frustrating one.
At one point I felt I should
have been 5 or 6 under,
Donald said. To walk off with
a 70 and play like that is hard
to take. It was shame to cough
up a couple of shots. Fifteen
of those holes, I played really
solid golf.
Some of the early starters ar-
rived in darkness, the tempera-
tures cool and the wind already
blowing.
This hasnt been the best
weather on the PGA Tour this
year. Already there was such
high wind at Kapalua that the
tournament didnt start until
the fourth day. Fog wiped out
an entire day in San Diego.
Snow put the Match Play
Championship one day behind.
And temperatures were in the
40s early Sunday when the
tour rst arrived in Florida.
It felt more like a major
championship today, Steele
said. Usually the head at the
U.S. Open is a few under after
the rst round at least, even if
the winning score ends up be-
ing over par. To see it only be
3 under at this point is really a
testament to how good the golf
course is and how difcult the
conditions are. Put that combo
together and its not a course
that you fake it around. Its not
a course you can get away with
bad shots.

IN BRIEF
5,000self-banned at casinos
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control
Board has received its 5,000th individual
request to voluntarily be excluded from
entering and participating in gaming
activities at all casinos in the state.
Begun in 2006, the Self-Exclusion
Programpermits an individual to request
that he or she be banned fromentering
and gambling at a Pennsylvania casino
for one year, ve years or a lifetime. The
state does not release details regarding
where those on the list live or in what
casino they led their form.
Honda, Acura SUVs recalled
Honda will recall 182,800 vehicles, in-
cluding its Pilot sport-utility vehicles and
its upscale Acura MDX SUVs and Acura
RL sedans, to x their vehicle stability-
control system, which could unexpect-
edly trigger the brakes.
The recall includes 101,000 Pilots,
60,000 MDXs and 21,000 RLs fromthe
2005 model year and about 800 MDXs
fromthe 2006 model year.
Honda said it has received complaints
about malfunctions in the vehicle stabil-
ity-assist systemin those models, but it
has not heard of any crashes or injuries
caused by the problem.
It will x the problemby having Honda
and Acura dealers install a newelectrical
sub-harness in the vehicles.
Honda said it also would do an extra
inspection of 51,000 of the Pilots to make
sure that an electrical ground bolt for
the VSAsystemis properly tightened. A
loosened ground bolt might cause similar
short periods of unexpected brake activa-
tion.
Honda and Acura customers will be
sent letters with details about howto
schedule the repair in mid-April.
Ination stays in check
Ameasure of U.S. wholesale prices rose
in February by the most in ve months,
pushed higher by more expensive gas
and pharmaceuticals. But outside those
increases, ination was mild.
The producer price index grewa sea-
sonally adjusted 0.7 percent in February
fromJanuary, the Labor Department said
Thursday. Thats up from0.2 percent in
the previous month. Wholesale gas prices
increased 7.2 percent.
Even with the increase, wholesale
prices have risen only 1.7 percent in the
past 12 months. Thats belowthe Federal
Reserves 2 percent ination target. Mild
ination gives the Fed more latitude to
continue with its aggressive policies to
spur more economic growth.
The index measures the cost of goods
before they reach consumers.

NEW YORK Sam-
sungs Galaxy S III smart-
phone has done very well,
briefly unseating the
iPhone as the best-selling
smartphone in the world.
On Thursday, the Korean
company was launching a
phone it hopes can top that
and entrench the compa-
ny as the main competitor
to Apple.
Samsung rented New
Yorks Radio City Music Hall
for an event Thursday eve-
ning, and has been hinting
that will reveal a fourth-gen-
eration Galaxy phone.
Every successive genera-
tion of the Galaxy line has
been bigger than the one
before, and the S III sports
a screen that measures 4.8
inches on the diagonal, sub-
stantially larger than the
iPhone 5s 4-inch screen.
In the last two years, Sam-
sung has emerged as Apples
main competitor in the high-
end smartphone market. At
the same time, it has sold
enough inexpensive low-end
phones to edge out Nokia
Corp. as the worlds largest
maker of phones.
The Galaxy line has Sam-
sungs chief weapon in the
fight, and it has succeeded
in making it a recogniz-
able brand while competi-
tors such as Taiwans HTC
Corp. and Korean rival LG
have stumbled. Samsung
has sold 100 million Galaxy
S phones since they first
came out in 2010. Thats
still well below the 268
million iPhones Apple has
sold in the same period,
but Samsungs sales rate is
catching up.
Research firm Strategy
Analytics said the Galaxy S
III overtook Apples iPhone
4S as the worlds best-
selling smartphone for the
first time in the third quar-
ter of last year, as Apple
fans were holding off for
the iPhone 5. The iPhone 5
took back the crown in the
fourth quarter.
Apple marketing chief at-
tacked Android phones in
an interview Wednesday,
saying theyre not as easy
to use as the iPhone.
The difference in use is
because iPhone invented
the idea for the modern
smartphone, Schiller said.
He also said there are too
many versions of Android
running on phones, caus-
ing problems for develop-
ers who want to make sure
their applications work on
a wide array of phones.
WASHINGTON Fewer Americans
sought unemployment aid last week,
reducing the average number of weekly
applications last month to a ve-year
low. The drop shows that fewer layoffs
are strengthening the job market.
The Labor Department said Thurs-
day that applications fell 10,000 to a sea-
sonally adjusted 332,000. That reduced
the four-week average to 346,750, the
lowest since the week of March 8, 2008,
three months after the Great Recession
began.
The report provides further evi-
dence of a gradual strengthening in
labor market conditions, Paul Dales,
senior U.S. economist at Capital Eco-
nomics, said in a note to clients.
Investors appeared to viewthe report
as further evidence that job growth and
the economy are strengthening. The
Dow Jones industrial average rose 64
points in mid-day trading, and the Stan-
dard & Poors 500 stock index neared
its all-time high.
Applications for unemployment aid
are a proxy for layoffs, and their steady
decline signals that companies are lay-
ing off fewer and fewer workers. It sug-
gests that companies arent worried
that business might fall off in the near
future.
The number of applications for ben-
ets has dropped ve times in the past
six weeks and has declined 13 percent
since mid-November. At the same time,
net hiring has picked up. Employers
added an average of 200,000 jobs a
month from November through Febru-
ary up from about 150,000 a month
in the previous four months. And the
unemployment rate reached a four-year
low of 7.7 percent in February.
During the Great Recession, layoffs
spiked, and applications for unemploy-
ment benets peaked at 667,000 in the
week that ended March 28, 2009. In a
healthy economy, applications usually
uctuate between 300,000 and 350,000.
Applications might pick up in com-
ing weeks, though, as across-the-board
government spending cuts force many
federal agencies and government con-
tractors to lay off or furlough workers.
The spending cuts, which took effect
March 1, were mandated by a 2011
budget deal. The White House and
Congress havent been able to reach a
deal to reverse them.
Bricklin Dwyer, an economist at BNP
Paribas, estimates that the government
spending cuts will boost applications
for unemployment aid by about 15,000
a week in the second half of March.

Samsung aims to upset iPhone, dominate smartphone galaxy
By PETER SVENSSON
AP Technology Writer
WASHINGTON If you
didnt bother ling a federal
tax return for 2009, it might be
a good time to rethink your tax
strategy.
The Internal Revenue Service
says it has $917 million in un-
claimed tax refunds from 2009,
and time is running out to claim
them.
The refunds are owed to near-
ly 1 million people who failed to
le returns for 2009. Taxpayers
must le their 2009 returns by
April 15 to claim their refunds.
If taxpayers dont le returns,
the law says they have a three-
year window to claim refunds.
After that, the money becomes
property of the U.S. Treasury.
The IRS says there is no pen-
alty for ling a late return that
qualies for a refund. But the
agency says refunds may be de-
layed if taxpayers also failed to
le returns for 2010 and 2011.
The government can also
withhold tax refunds to settle
unpaid federal and state taxes,
as well as unpaid child support
and past due student loans.
People in every state and the
District of Columbia are owed
refunds, including 100,700 peo-
ple in California and 86,000 peo-
ple in Texas, the IRS said. Most
of the refunds exceed $500.
Some people may not have
led tax returns because they
made too little money and
werent required to le, the IRS
said. However, if they had fed-
eral income taxes withheld from
their pay, those people may be
entitled to refunds.
