While police agencies are dealing with ancillary
crimes of bath salts users, such as disorderly con-
duct, Kingston police successfully secured a con-
viction when a man pleaded guilty to illegally us-
ing solvents or noxious substances.
A review of court records show it appears to be
the first bath salts conviction in Luzerne County.
Meanwhile, Luzerne County District Attorney
Jacqueline Musto Carroll said Thursday she is ex-
ploring a petition that would seek a court injunc-
tion to ban the sale of bath salts by retailers, simi-

County on Wednesday.

Law on books, but enforcement is open question

WILKES-BARRE – It’s been al-
most a year since City Council ap-
proved an ordinance that bans the
use of cell phones while driving.
So how many citations have been
issued?
“I really don’t know,” said Kathy
Kane, chairwoman of council and the
person who pushed for the ordi-
nance. “I can’t get any answers on
that. Nobody gives me any answers. I
don’t think we’ve cited anybody. It
seems to me that more and more peo-
ple are using their cell phones and
driving, so I don’t think we are en-
forcing it.”
Kane has been leading the effort to
convince legislators to enact a state-
wide law addressing the issue. She
said she has read a lot of statistics
that show a high incidence of acci-
dents caused by talking or texting on
cell phones while driving.

PITTSTON TWP. – After sit-
ting on the tarmac for two dec-
ades, a plan for an .85-mile road
through Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
International Airport property
connecting several industrial
parks to Interstate 81 has been
given permission to move to the
runway.
The plan can’t take flight just
yet, however, as it still needs ap-
proval from the Federal Aviation
Administration.
At a special meeting of the bi-
county airport board on Thurs-
day, the board voted 5-0 to send
an application for an easement
to the FAA. The action came af-
ter numerous months of re-
quests and presentations by
Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation and other offi-
cials who sought the approval.
Time after time the board –
made up of the commissioners
from Lackawanna and Luzerne
counties – voiced concerns
about the project and a per-
ceived lack of benefit for the air-
port. Chief among the concerns
was that by building the connec-
tor road, it would entice traffic
to head through the airport’s
property to get to I-81, especial-
ly trucks going to and from the
multiple industrial parks in Jen-
kins and Pittston townships.

cuts as $8M deficit looms
The school board looks at
possible personnel reduction
by attrition or furlough.
By JANINE UNGVARSKY
Times Leader Correspondent
WILKES-BARRE – The
amount of the deficit was sober-
ing and the possible ways of re-
solving it even more sobering
when members of the Wilkes-
Barre Area School Board met
Thursday to discuss the 2011-12
budget.
Board members Joseph Mo-
ran, Christine Katsock and Ma-
ryanne Toole met to gather gen-
eral information about the bud-
get situation, along with Super-
intendent Jeffrey Namey and
Business Manager Leonard
Przywara, who used a series of
handouts to explain why the dis-
trict is facing a potential $7.9
million deficit.
Namey said he has already be-
gun discussions with adminis-
trators looking for ways to trim
expenses and is considering a
pay freeze as suggested by the
governor, as well as cutting sup-
ply budgets to the bone and
even eliminating staff positions
by attrition or furlough.
A combination of expected
and unexpected changes to the
proposed state budget account
for a large share of the deficit,
Przywara said. District officials
did know the district could lose
nearly $3 million in state fund-
ing that was essentially a pass-
through of federal stimulus dol-
lars, he said, but was not antici-
pating losing more than
$972,000 in reimbursement for
charter school expenses or an-
other $913,693 in accountability

used to start the full-day kinder-
garten program. Also slashed

In the county council race, voters
from each political party will choose
11 candidates to advance to the No-

compete for the 11 council seats. In-
dependent and third-party candidates
may also get on the ballot after the
primary if they secure nearly 1,000
nomination signatures.
The chosen 11 will take office in Ja-

toric switch to a home rule govern-
ment system.

After ruling, agency will scale back veterans project, attorney says
By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER
tmorgan@timesleader.com
EDWARDSVILLE – Catholic
Social Services has lost a court
challenge of a ruling that denied a
zoning variance for a veterans
housing complex at the former
St. Hedwig’s Church property,
but the decision won’t scuttle the
project, an attorney for the agen-
cy said.
The state Commonwealth
Court on Thursday said the Ed-
wardsville Zoning Board acted
properly when it denied the varia-
nce for the proposed complex,
which straddles land located in
Edwardsville and Kingston.
The ruling means CSS cannot
build on any portion of the com-
plex on property that is located in
Edwardsville. It is permitted to
build on the land that is located in
Kingston, which approved the
project in 2009, said Jamie Hail-
stone, attorney for the CSS.
Hailstone said CSS had initial-
ly planned to build a 30-unit com-
plex, but the court ruling means
it will now have to be reduced to
14 units, all of which will be locat-
ed in Kingston.
“We’re still going ahead with
the project, just on a smaller
scale,” Hailstone said.
The proposed project would
cater to war veterans, including
some with disabilities, and their
families. It generated controver-
sy among residents of Edwards-
ville, who expressed concerns at
a zoning hearing in May 2009
that it would house persons with
psychological and/or substance
abuse problems.
The Edwardsville zoning
board denied the request for a
variance, which was required be-
cause multi-family units are not
permitted in a residential dis-
trict. The board determined CSS
had failed to meet the require-
ments for a variance, which state
the applicant must show it would
suffer an unnecessary hardship.
CSS appealed that ruling to Lu-
zerne County Court, which up-
held the board’s decision. The
agency then appealed to Com-
monwealth Court.
In its ruling, the Common-
wealth Court agreed that CSS
had not met the standard set for
obtaining a variance. The court
noted that to establish a hardship
the applicant must show there
was no other use for the property
or conforming the property to a
permitted use would be cost-pro-
hibitive.
In this case, the court stated an
official from CSS had testified the
agency could locate the complex
solely within Kingston, which
does permit multi-family units in
a residential district, but opted
not to do so for “aesthetic rea-
sons.”
“An applicant seeking a varia-
nce must demonstrate that an un-
necessary hardship will result in
the variance is denied ... CSS
clearly did not meet its burden,”
the court said.

Civilian deaths to be probed
F acing a massive protest movement
demanding reform, Syria’s presi-

look into the deaths of civilians during
nearly two weeks of unrest and replac-

The moves appear to be a carefully
designed attempt by President Bashar
Assad to head off massive protests
planned for today while showing he
will not be pressured to implement
reform — instead, he will make chang-
es at his own pace.
On Wednesday, he dashed expecta-

conspiracy during his first comments
since the protests began.

Gov. will heed judge ruling

Republican governor’s administration
still believes the law took effect when a
state office posted online last week.
But he says Walker will abide by Dane
County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi’s
ruling earlier Thursday that the law
hadn’t taken effect.
Sumi’s ruling came after Walker’s
administration ignored a restraining
order she issued earlier this week say-
ing work on the law should stop while
she considers a lawsuit challenging the
statute’s legitimacy.

Extra jobless aid dropped
Thousands of people in Missouri
who have been unemployed for more

benefits, marking a significant victory
for Republican fiscal hawks who are
crusading against government spend-
ing.
When eligibility ends Saturday, Mis-
souri will become the only state to
voluntarily quit a federal stimulus
program that offers extended benefits.
Michigan, Arkansas and Florida also
recently took steps to cut back on
money going to the unemployed, al-
though they targeted state benefits
instead.
As a result, more than 34,000 unem-
ployed residents in Missouri could
miss out on $105 million in benefits
over the next nine months. Unlike
some other stimulus programs, Mis-
souri’s unclaimed money would not be
redistributed by the federal govern-
ment to other states. It simply would
remain unspent.

been since September, 2008. In Lon-
don, Brent crude rose $2.25 to settle at
$117.20 per barrel.
Energy traders worry that unrest will

M
arian Melnyk, 93, passed away
peacefully Wednesday, March
30, 2011, at the Wilkes-Barre Gener-
al Hospital after suffering a heart at-
tack. She had been a resident at Riv-
erview Ridge Assisted Living in
Wilkes-Barre since October.
She was born August 1, 1917, the
third youngest of 11 children born to
George Jascur and Mary Benedict
Jascur of Wilkes-Barre, who immi-
grated to the United States from the
area then known as Austria-Hun-
gary. She was educated at Sacred
Heart Catholic School and Cough-
lin High School.
A stay-at-home mom, she enjoyed
a happy marriage of 70 years with
her beloved husband, Walter, whom
she married in 1940 and with whom
she had three children, James, of
Walnut Creek, Calif., Marian and
David, of Trucksville. Walter pre-
ceded her in death just five months
ago in November 2010.
She was the quintessential mom,
a PTA officer, Boy Scout den moth-
er, school-trip chaperone, detailed
seamstress, talented quilter and
baker extraordinaire. A tireless vol-
unteer, she was involved in numer-
ous church, school and civic activ-
ities including 30 years with the
American Red Cross and 10 years
with the Retired Senior Volunteer
Program.
Marian was especially known as a
creative gardener and loved collect-
ing and propagating new plants.
She was appreciated for her “Plant
Booths” at the annual bazaars at
both Sacred Heart Slovak Church
and Saints Peter and Paul Ukrainian
Catholic Church. She was blessed
with many dear friends throughout
her life because of her outgoing per-
Mamola, Veronica Mamola, Helen
(Sister M. Ursula), and Mildred
Rodzinak.
Besides her three children, she is
survived by her dear sister Jose-
phine Check of Niagara Falls, N.Y.;
daughter-in-law, Catherine Melnyk;
three granddaughters, Diane Mull-
er, Davis, Calif.; Jennifer Melnyk,
San Francisco, Calif.; and Amy Kem-
merer, Walnut Creek, Calif.; one
grandson, Trevor Melnyk, Trucks-
ville; as well as great-grandsons,
Ryan Muller, Jeremy and Andrew
Kemmerer.
The family would like to thank
the staff of Riverview Ridge for their
care and support. Also a special
thank you goes to Barbara Boney
who provided Marian with many
fun-filled evenings working on cre-
ative projects and activities.
In accordance with Marian’s
wishes, there will be no viewing. A

Decision paves way for Hazleton-area charter school

The proposed Valley Academy
had been rejected by Hazleton
Area School District.
By STEVE MOCARSKY
smocarsky@timesleader.com
It appears that a charter school will
open in the Hazleton Area School Dis-
trict.
The Pennsylvania State Charter
School Appeals Board on Wednesday
voted unanimously (6-0) to grant the
appeal of the Valley Academy Charter
School.
The vote reverses a decision of the
Hazleton Area School Board and will
result in the grant of a charter for Valley
Academy, Stephen Seach, an attorney
for the school, said in a statement.
Although the appeals board has not
yet issued a written opinion, it stated in
a public meeting that Valley Academy’s
plan substantively meets the require-
ments for a charter school. The appeals
board commended the work of five
Wilkes University professors who
helped establish the curriculum, Seach
said.
Valley Academy Charter School
founders Aprilaurie Whitley and Stan-
ley Warner are pleased with the deci-
sion.
School organizers successfully
fought two legal battles thus far. In the
latest round, attorney Michael Senape
presented oral argument to the appeals
board, and the legal briefs were a col-
laborative effort of attorneys Senape,
Seach, Catherine McGovern and
James Senape.
In an earlier challenge by the school
district, Valley Academy witnesses tes-
tified before Luzerne County Judge Ti-
na Polachek Gartley in support of the
1,190 signatures they had obtained.
Seach presented the testimony of sup-
porters and legal arguments, and Gar-
tley found that there was sufficient
community support for the appeal to
proceed.
A charter school is a type of public
school free of some state restrictions.
The school must be approved, or char-
tered, by the public school district in
which it will be located.
Valley Academy would serve stu-
dents in ninth through 12th grades, fo-
cusing on environmental science and
math.
Organizers submitted an application
in 2007 to be chartered by Hazleton Ar-
ea School District, and a state-mandat-
ed public hearing was held that Decem-
ber. District officials recommended re-
jecting the application at the time,
though the School Board never voted
on it. That’s because the academy orga-
nizers withdrew the application. They
later re-entered the application , but it
was denied in the spring of 2009.
The Valley Academy School Board
will meet to discuss further proce-
dures.
Hazleton Area School Board Vice
President Tony Bonomo said there
were no plans to appeal the decision of
the state appeals board. He also said
the charter school might even help the
district’s financial situation.
“It is time … to work together,” Bono-
mo said.
They face a 41-count indictment charging
them with racketeering, money laundering,
honest services fraud, bribery, extortion,
and other offenses.
The latest indictment filed on Tuesday
made 15 technical changes to the second in-
dictment, including the addition of two
money laundering charges against Cordaro.
While they had previously pleaded not
guilty, these changes required another ar-
raignment.
Federal prosecutors allege Cordaro and
Munchak used their positions as county
commissioners to extort money from com-
panies that did business with the county in
what some have called a “pay to play”
scheme.
The latest superseding indictment made
mostly technical changes to this indict-
ment, primarily grammatical and legal clar-
ifications, although two money laundering
charges were also added against Cordaro.
The trial is scheduled to begin June 6 in
the Max Rosenn Federal Courthouse in
Wilkes-Barre.

unions is up there with the seven dead-

and principles, the Catholic Church favors
workers’ rights to unionize and to strike.
In 1887, Baltimore’s Cardinal Gibbons
supported the Knights of Labor. Catholic
John Mitchell organized the United Mine

workers had a right to a sufficient wage,
reasonable hours, rest periods, health

ple of “the priority of labor over capital,”
saying, “There is a need for ever new
movements of solidarity of the workers
and with the workers” and that “the

that the promotion of unions that can

financing education with more of our tax

dedicated teacher with the right attitude

Giving more money to the unions doesn’t
guarantee teachers will be qualified to

You can say the Republicans are on a

true. They are trying to save their individ-

Unions are a major part of the problem.
Why don’t you see the Democrats do this?
It is because the unions contribute to their
campaigns, and they don’t want to see a
major percentage of their support dis-

Legislation aims to address distracted driving
By BILL O’BOYLE
boboyle@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE – An amend-
ment to state House Bill 896 calls
for additional penalties for dis-
tracted drivers.
The bill was referred to the
House Committee on Transpor-
tation on March 2. It originally
addressed careless driving and
attached penalties for persons
found guilty of causing injury or
death of others at $250 to $500.
The amendment defines dis-
tracted driver as “having a per-
son’s attention diverted from op-
erating a vehicle by a radio, re-
cording/playback device, tele-
phone device, citizens band

said the city police department
does not categorize traffic vio-
lations per specific offense.
“A citation for talking on the
cell phone, illegally turning on a
red light, or rolling through a
stop sign would all be categor-
ized the same,” McLaughlin
said.
Kane said that to her knowl-
edge there have not been any re-
ports of people getting seriously
hurt in the city in cell phone-
related accidents.
“But I have seen the national
statistics that show people are
getting hurt and killed because
of distracted drivers on cell
phones,” she said.
Kane said council will contin-
ue to apply pressure to state leg-
islators to pass a statewide law.
She said there are “many divid-
ed opinions” on how the law
should read, but she remains
hopeful an agreement will come
soon.

while driving and handheld cell

“As a member of the Transpor-

scheduled to testify in support
of it at a House hearing in late
April.
Remington said cell phone
use/texting comes under the
umbrella of distracted driving.
He said AAA supports tougher
penalties for drivers who cause
crashes or traffic violations as a
result of distracted behavior
while driving.
“We support a comprehensive
approach based on sound re-
search and which includes a sig-
nificant education component,”
Remington said. “According to
the Governors’ Highway Safety
Association, 30 states (including
11 in 2010) enacted such bans.
New York, New Jersey and Dela-
ware have all banned texting;
Pennsylvania has yet to act. We
will continue to push for an out-
right ban during the current ses-
sion.”
AAA and Seventeen magazine
conducted a national study last
year regarding distracted driv-
ing among teens, including text-
ing and cell phone use. Other
distracting activities besides us-
ing a cell phone include eating
and drinking, talking to passen-
gers, grooming, reading (includ-
ing maps), using a PDA or navi-
than previously.
But federal wage system work-
ers at Tobyhanna – “blue collar”
employees – were not paid under
the New York scale.
That result was a proportion-
ately lower wage scale for the
about 3,000 federal wage sched-
ule workers at Tobyhanna. Being
paid under the higher wage scale
would mean raises of anywhere
from about $4,000 to more than
$8,000.
Average salary for depot gener-
al schedule workers, including
professional personnel such as
engineers, accountants and su-
pervisory personnel, is $63,672,

“I believe it is a very dangerous
activity, which negatively im-
pacts and can endanger the well-
being of many people,” Toohil
said. “Distracted driving legisla-

more far reaching and includes
the carelessness and disregard

Remington said AAA national-
ly has urged all states to ban text
messaging outright.
“We have worked with state
legislatures, including the Penn-
sylvania General Assembly, to
enact the necessary statutes,”
Remington said. “Research has
shown that the combination of
visual, cognitive and physical
distractions while text messag-
ing behind the wheel makes it an
inherently dangerous activity.”
Done deal or just a plan
That change – and the accom-
panying raises – was supposed to
have been approved last fall. Dur-
ing the final days of his losing
campaign, former Rep. Paul Kan-
jorski, D-Nanticoke, announced
that federal officials had agreed
to fix the pay disparity.
That’s true, Casey said in a re-
lease this week. An entity called
the Federal Prevailing Rate Advi-
sory Committee recommended
changing the system to correct
the disparity, a change that also
would help some 15,000 other
federal employees facing similar
situations in 18 other states.
But the White House’s Office of
Personnel Management hasn’t
yet put the fairer scale into effect,
Casey said.

move forward without delay,”

“Again, New York, New Jersey

this step; Pennsylvania has not,”
he said.
The AAA/Seventeen study re-
vealed that nearly nine in 10
teenage drivers (86 percent)
have driven while distracted,
even though 84 percent of teen
drivers know it’s dangerous.

That being said, the aforemen-
tioned studies confirm that the
risk of crash or near-crash dra-
matically increases if the driver is
distracted while utilizing a cell

Mullery said he supports ban-
ning texting in moving vehicles
for drivers of all ages and cell
phone usage should be banned
for newly licensed teen drivers.
A strong supporter of the effort
to ban the use of handheld cell

AAA President and CEO Rob-

port that traffic crashes are the
leading cause of death for teen
drivers.

ing experience and penchant to

Featured in the September 2010
issue of Seventeen magazine, the
results are based on a survey
conducted of nearly 2,000 male
and female teen drivers ages 16-19.
Seventeen magazine and AAA set
out to discover what risky behav-
iors teen drivers were engaging in
while behind the wheel – and how
they justify this dangerous behav-
ior.
Of the teen drivers surveyed:
• 73 percent have adjusted their
radio/CD/MP3 player.
• 61 percent have eaten food.
• 60 percent have talked on a cell
phone while driving.
The reasons teen drivers think it’s
fine to engage in these distrac-
tions are varied.
D I D YO U K N OW ?
What Is distracted driving? Ac-
cording to the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration,
there are three main types of
distraction:
• Visual — taking your eyes off the
road
• Manual — taking your hands off
the wheel
• Cognitive — taking your mind off
what you’re doing
The NHTSA defines distracted
driving as any activity a person
engages in that has the potential
to distract him or her from the
primary task of driving and in-
crease the risk of crashing. While
all distractions can endanger
drivers’ safety, the NHTSA says
texting is the most alarming be-
cause it involves all three types of
distraction.
are “wondering, why the delay?”
In addition to the letter, Casey
spoke to Berry this week about
the Tobyhanna pay issue. The
conversation was a “productive”
one, according to a Casey spokes-
man, who declined to provide de-
tails but said that Casey will be
following up in an attempt to re-
solve the situation once and for
all.
Meanwhile, Rep. Lou Barletta,
D-Hazleton, who defeated Kan-
jorski last fall, is looking into the
issue, as well, said Shawn Kelly,
Barletta’s spokesman.
“Lou understands there is an
imbalance that affects some of
the workers at the Tobyhanna Ar-
my Depot,” Kelly said. “Lou
knows the vital role the employ-
ees play in keeping our military
safe on the battlefield and around
the world, and he knows the vital
role Tobyhanna Army Depot
plays in the regional economy.”
The mayor said he is a man
who “does a job that’s assigned to
him” and feels he has stood up for
the citizens of Kingston and Lu-
zerne County.
“I urge anyone to find someone
who thinks they were treated un-
fairly in Kingston,” Haggerty
said.

Sandusky retired after the 1999 sea-
son after 32 years as an assistant to Penn
State football coach Joe Paterno. Once
considered a potential successor to Pa-
terno, Sandusky helped establish Penn
State’s “Linebacker U” reputation and
drew up the defenses for the Nittany Li-
ons’ national-title teams in 1982 and
1986.

actually a decent game for the condi-

Sidelined with a strained side

two spectacular catches against his
former team and homered for the
third straight opener — off a lefty, no
less. He connected against former

OPINION
Japan could be
the road back
for Sanchez
H
e stood up from his seat and
started to stretch, the breakfast
room of a Tampa hotel serving
as his bullpen.
This is where Romulo Sanchez did
his most important work of this up-
coming baseball season.
Because by the time he was done
early Thursday afternoon, when those
“bullpen” doors opened, Sanchez
wasn’t just heading into a game this
time.
He was entering a whole new world.
It is one where a country is recover-
ing from calamity, where the native
language is much different from his,
where Sanchez will pitch at the end of
games, not the beginning.
But Sanchez believes he will get a
jumpstart, if not a new start, by playing
in Japan.
“Right now, at this point, it’s a great
opportunity,” his agent Jhosep Rojas
said.
The chance for Sanchez to chase
more money and a relief role in Japan
became reality Thursday when long-
time Japanese baseball scout Richard
Seko signed him to a one-year contract
with an option for a second season to
play for the Rakuten Golden Eagles.
That transaction came just down the
street from Steinbrenner Field, where
Sanchez spent the whole spring train-
ing with the New York Yankees fighting
to be part of their season opener
Thursday.
But the Yankees designated Sanchez
for assignment Wednesday, right after
he compiled a 3.86 ERA over seven
innings and picked up a save pitching
in games this spring. And a season
after he went 10-8 with nearly a strike-
out an inning for the Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre Yankees, between making a cou-
ple of relief appearances for parent
New York.
“I loved the (Scranton/Wilkes-Barre)
area,” Sanchez, a Venezuela native and
resident who speaks little English, said
through Rojas. “I loved the opportunity
the Yankees provided to me. I’m just
very proud the Yankees gave me a
chance to pitch.”
He will pitch for Rakuten in a clos-
er’s role, where the 26-year-old Sanchez
began his professional career before the
Pirates and Yankees began turning him
into a starter.
To get him started, Seko pulling out
a tape right at the hotel and measuring
the 6-foot-5, 270-pound Sanchez for
uniform size.
The right-hander seemed amused,
but knows this is a big task he’s under-
taking.
“(It’s) only for one year,” Sanchez
insisted, explaining through his agent
how pitching in Japan could help San-
chez grow into a major league-ready
pitcher in a couple of years.
He made that pitch to enter a new
culture while sitting right next to a
large sliding window, where everything
seemed ready to slide away outside.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre’s scheduled
workouts and game at the Yankees
minor league complex were washed
away by driving rains before they could
be blown away by a day-long series of
strong storms parading in off Florida’s
Gulf Coast.
Up on the hotel televisions, weather
forecasters were counting the number
of tornadoes touching down through
Tampa’s surrounding areas – two,
three, then maybe a fourth – while
showing the frightening strength of a
system that mangled power lines,
peeled rooftops and toppled tractor
trailers while leaving roadways re-
sembling canals.
The connection wasn’t lost on San-
chez, who was leaving those ominous
skies in Florida for a nation struggling
to recover from being battered by a
tsunami last month.
“Romulo is going in there with the
thought it’ll inspire support for the
Japanese people,” Rojas said. “He re-
leased a statement saying it will not be
long until we see them rise again. They
are a great nation.”
Japan has become a nation of hope
while trying to overcome difficult
struggles. For Sanchez, it is the place
to be to do some rebuilding.

Walker ties course record; Lincicome, Lewis share LPGA lead

After getting left out of the
NCAA tournament — and after
hardly any critics argued on their
behalf — the Shockers left little
doubt they should have been se-
lected. They beat Nebraska by 27
points, won at Virginia Tech, beat
College of Charleston, then set a
school record for wins in a season
with a 75-44 romp over Washing-
ton State in the semifinals.
They added one more victory
against the Crimson Tide.
Tony Mitchell had 13 points
and 12 rebounds to lead Alabama
(25-12), which lost for the second
time in two trips to the NIT title
game. Leading scorer JaMychal
Green struggled with foul trouble
and finished with 12 points, and
Trevor Releford and Charvez Da-
vis had 10 each.
Alabama briefly pulled ahead
in the second half on a free throw
by Chris Hines with 15:06 left,
but Wichita State answered with
eight straight points to regain
control.
The lead never fell below five

Walker changed putters at

made six cuts in eight starts

Thursday matched the lowest

“When you putt well,” he
said, “it cures a lot of ills, for

Like Walker, Teater and
Rollins also need victories to
earn invitations to Augusta
next week. And as long as
they’re in town, they’re both
hoping to see their favorite
college basketball teams take
home a trophy, too.
Teater is a die-hard Kentucky
fan and Rollins is the only VCU
graduate on the PGA Tour.
Both have tickets to Saturday’s
Final Four games — Butler-
VCU and Connecticut-Kentucky
— at Reliant Stadium, about
25 miles from the course.
And both are hoping they
have a tough decision to make
on Monday — fly to Augusta
to get ready for the Masters or
stay in Houston an extra day to
see their team play for a na-
tional championship.
“I don’t want to cross a
bridge that I haven’t gotten to,”
Teater said. “If it comes to
that, I’ll probably stay for the
game. But Monday night, it
would be nice to be there,
celebrating with everybody
else.”
Teater wore a blue shirt and
a white belt with a “UK” logo
on his belt buckle during his
round. He went to Morehead
State in Kentucky, but grew up
rooting for the Wildcats.

Teams are listed in predicted order
of finish.
DIVISION 1-A
1. Dallas
2010 WVC Record/Finish: 13-1 Div.
A, 1st
2010 postseason: D2-2A cham-
pion; lost 3-2 to Trinity in second
round of state playoffs.
Coach: Chris Scharff
Home field: School district campus
Players to watch: Seniors – Megh-
an Gallis, FB; Sara Kneal, FB; De-
metra Szatkowski, FB. Juniors –
Kassondra Michno, FB; Colleen
McDonald, MF/F; Sabrina Zurek, MF.
Sophomores – Ashley Dunbar, F;
Wendy Greenwood, MF; Amber
Yang, K.
Outlook: The Mountaineers will
certainly miss Times Leader Player
of the Year Ellen Arnaud and divi-
sional MVP Tara Connors, but don’t
write them off. There is plenty of
talent returning led by McDonald,
who is arguably the best all-around
player in the WVC. Szatkowski is
also one of the WVC’s best defend-
ers, and Gallis was a first-team
all-star last season. The pieces are
in place for another divisional title
and another District 2 champion-
ship as well.
2. Coughlin 2010 WVC Record/
Finish: 10-3-1 Div. A, tied 2nd
2010 postseason: D2-2A runner-
up; lost 2-0 to Donegal in first
round of state playoffs.
Coach: Joe Spagnuolo
Home field: Dan Flood School
Players to watch: Seniors – Crystal
Chudoba, Kristi Gabriele, Nour
Hasan, Brittany Kulesza, Korey
Patrizi, Jenna Silliboy, Alexis Spag-
nola, Olivia Spagnola. Juniors –
Grace Fazzi, Lindsey Humanik,
Marissa Lecara, Bailey Novak, Ivy
Nulton, Amanda Sax.
Outlook: The Crusaders have
arguably the best blend of talent
and experience in the WVC, and
that could lead to the division and
district titles. Humanik and Olivia
Spagnola were all-WVC last season
and first-team all-stars along with
Hasan. Nulton, Patrizi, Alexis Spag-
nola and Sax were second-team
stars. The Crusaders lost a few
players to graduation, but have
enough depth to fill those holes.
3. Berwick
2010 WVC Record/Finish: 9-3-2
Div. A, 4th
2010 postseason: Lost 3-1 to
Coughlin in D2-2A semifinals.
Coach: Paul DiPippa
Home field: Crispin Field
Players to watch: Seniors – Bella
Jaffin, F; Olivia Jaffin, FB. Juniors –
Abby Takacs, MF; Jade Welsh, F;
Sarah Wilczynski, K. Sophomores –
Caty Davenport, MF; Bridget Orlan-
do, FB; Kelly Sheptock, FB.
Outlook: Berwick has eight start-
ers back and should be right in the
battle with Coughlin and Dallas for
the division and top seed in dis-
tricts. Jaffin was all-WVC once
again and Sheptock was the only
freshman to get the honor last
season. Orlando and Welsh earned
second-team divisional honors.
Best part of the eight returning
starters is they are spread
throughout the field, giving Ber-
wick no weak spot to exploit.
4. Holy Redeemer
2010 WVC Record/Finish: 5-9 Div.
A, 5th
2010 postseason: Lost 1-0 to
Lake-Lehman in D2-2A quarterfi-
nals.
State classification: 2A
Coach: Bob Hughes
Home field: Eddie White Field
Players to watch: Seniors – Allison
Capaci, FB; Beth Kolodziej, K; Alex-
andra Marriggi, FB; Danielle Phil-
lips, F: Deena Prescavage, FB; Kiera
Stachowiak, MF. Juniors – Shaina
Dougherty, F; Alexa Kalaft, K; Erin
Gruber, MF; Hallie Rexer, MF. Fresh-
man – Nina Paoloni, FB.
Outlook: Redeemer could be one
team that makes significant im-
provement this season. Capaci was
a first-team all-star last season,
while Mariggi and Rexer, who has
verbally committed to St. Francis,
made the second team. To take the
next step, the Royals need to get
more scoring against the upper
tier teams. The defense should be
solid.
5. Crestwood
2010 WVC Record/Finish: 4-10 Div.
A, 6th
2010 postseason: Lost 6-0 to
Berwick in D2-2A semifinals.
Coach: Pasquale Calabrese
Home field: Football stadium
Players to watch: Seniors – Mar-
ianna Hererra, MF; Amanda Lee,
FB; Samantha Pruce, FB. Juniors –
Sarah Andrews, MF; Hannah Coffin,
F. Sophomore – Emily Orrson, MF.
Freshman – Gabby Termini, MF/F.
Outlook: Crestwood is a team to
watch as the season progresses.
The Comets have some experience
back, but will be relying heavily on
underclassmen that includes a
promising group of freshmen. The
core will form around Herrera, a
first-team all-star last year, and
Andrews and Lee, who were sec-
ond-team selections. The Comets
probably won’t make a run at the
division, but could pull off a couple
surprises late in the season.
DIVISION 1-B
1. Lake-Lehman
2010 WVC Record/Finish: 8-0-4
Div. B, 2nd
2010 postseason: Lost 3-1 to Dal-
las in D2-2A semifinals.
Home field: Football stadium
Coach: Kelly Spencer Adamshick
Players to watch: Seniors – Sarah
Bray, F; Cassi Cragle, M; Alexa
Decker, FB; Kriisty Komrowski, FB;
Jenn O’Brien, FB. Junior – Nikki
Sutliff, MF. Sophomores – Ashley
Jackson, K; Karen Yamrick, FB.
Freshmen – Kaylee Hillard, MF;
Shoshana Mahoney, F; Emily Sut-
ton, MF.
Outlook: Lehman could look differ-
ent this season. The Black Knights
were known for their defense in
recent years, but Spencer expects
the offense to be much better.
Bray, a second-team all-star last
season, is the top offensive threat
back. There is also experience at
midfield and defense, although
losing keeper Becca Stull, one of
the best ever to play the position in
the WVC, will be a big void to fill.
2. Wyoming Valley West
2010 WVC Record/Finish: 8-4 Div.
B, 3rd
2010 postseason: Lost 4-0 to
Abington Heights in D2-3A semi-
finals.
T E A M - B Y-T E A M C A P S U L E S
Coach: Mike Davitt
Home field: Spartan Stadium
Players to watch: Seniors – Sherry
Chen, FB; Kelsey Keefer, MF; Ka-
leigh Reynolds, MF. Juniors – Kelcie
Hromisin, F; Carrie Sedeski, MF.
Outlook: The Spartans are a legiti-
mate contender for the division
title. Chen and Hromisin were
All-WVC selections last season.
Chen is a quick-footed defender,
while Hromisin is a playmaker who
makes the offense go. Keefer
earned first-team honors and will
be a factor at midfield. There are a
few holes to fill – goalkeeping
perhaps the biggest – but there is
plenty of talent to choose from.
3. Delaware Valley
2010 WVC Record/Finish: 10-0-2
Div. B, 1st
2010 postseason: Lost 1-0 to
Hazleton Area in D2-3A semifinals.
Coach: Donnel Leiva-Vazquez
Home field: High school
Players to watch: Seniors – Mindy
Dennis, Kalie Mackey, Marissa
Schick. Juniors – Amy Ahlers,
Kyrsten Brockmann. Freshman –
Anna Chamberlain.
Outlook: DelVal will have a deci-
sively tougher schedule, so it will
be a team to keep an eye on
throughout the season. Three
first-team all-stars plus others have
graduated, but there is a nucleus
of players to build around. Brock-
mann was a second-team all-star
and Mackey was an honorable
mention selection and the two will
anchor the defense. Dennis was
honorable mention as a midfielder.
The Warriors’ main concern will be
on the attack where graduation
took a toll. They should be compet-
itive with everyone.
4. Hazleton Area
2010 WVC Record/Finish: 10-0-1
Div. C, 1st
2010 postseason: Lost 4-0 to
Abington Heights in D2-3A cham-
pionship game.
Coach: Dan Matriccino
Home field: Football stadium
Players to watch: Seniors – Brandi
Benko, FB; Alyssa Bogert, FB;
Nicole Kracum, MF; Maria Notaro,
MF; Ashley Schoener, MF: Nicole
Semenza, FB/MF; Sara Spock,
FB/MF. Juniors – Megan Baranko,
K; Krista Leitner, MF. Sophomores –
Stephanie Fuchs, FB; Mariah La-
Porte, F.
Outlook: All-WVC selections Chiara
Matriccino and Danielle Semenza
graduated, taking most of the
offense with them. So in the early
going generating offense will be
challenging. The defense should be
solid with second-team all-star
Nicole Semenza and honorable
mention selection Bogart back. So
are six more starters from last
season, making a successful sea-
son likely.
5. Nanticoke
2010 WVC Record/Finish: 2-12 Div.
A, 7th
2010 postseason: none
Coach: Ryan Amos
Home field: Football stadium
Players to watch: Seniors – Carlee
Komorski, F; Paige Pientka, MF.
Junior – Cassie Yalch, MF. Sopho-
more – Brittany Sugalski, MF/FB.
Outlook: Nanticoke should be solid
at midfield as well as defense.
There could be some work to do on
offense and at goalkeeping where
the Trojanettes were hit hard by
graduation. Still, Nanticoke has a
lot of good athletes, although
on-field experience is lacking. The
main objective will likely be improv-
ing every game and picking up a
few more victories.
DIVISION 2-A
1. North Pocono
2010 WVC Record/Finish: 8-3-1
Div. C, 2nd
2010 postseason: Lost 10-0 to
Coughlin in D2-2A quarterfinals.
Coach: Hosiah “Dave” Davis
Home field: New high school,
Covington Twp.
Players to watch: Seniors – Cor-
rine Glassman, FB; Chelsea Kincel,
FB; Jessica Korshnak, F; Fjollza
Shabani, MF; Sarah Wicker, MF.
Juniors – Alyssa Hamill, Jr.; Mi-
chelle Stefanelli, MF; Meghan Utter,
K.
Outlook: The Trojans were very
young last season, yet turned in a
strong season. Four all-stars re-
turn, including first-team selection
Hamill, who will anchor what
should be a strong defense. Mid-
field also looks impressive. The
downside is North Pocono will
likely start slowly due to lack of
outdoor time. But once the Trojans
get rolling they could roll into first
place in the division.
2. Honesdale
2010 WVC Record/Finish: 5-6-1
Div. B, 4th
2010 postseason: none
Coach: Eric Eisele
Home field: Stourbridge Elemen-
tary,
Players to watch: Seniors – Taylor
Corbin, MF; Natalie Hoff, MF; Randi
Jo Kowalczyk, F; Alicia Manzione,
FB; Benita Pursch, FB. Sophomores
– Rhea Fowler, MF; Ally Hicks, F;
Seneca Propst, MF.
Outlook: Hoff was a first-team
all-star last year and Manzione was
a second-team selection. If they
and the other seniors blend well
with a solid sophomore class, the
Hornets will likely improve quite a
bit on last year’s record. The divi-
sion is wide open, and there’s little
reason to doubt Honesdale’s
chances to finish at the top.
3. Wyoming Seminary
2010 WVC Record/Finish: 1-13 Div.
A, 8th
2010 postseason: none
Coach: John Hannigan
Home field: Forty Fort Soccer
Fields or Payne-Pettibone
Players to watch: Seniors – Hope
Charney, FB; Caroline Meuser, F;
Allison Parkhurst, FB; Lucie Povo-
va, K. Juniors – Jahneece Davis,
F/FB; Katrina Grosek, MF/FB. Soph-
omores – Jessica Casterline, FB/K;
Christine Harris, F/MF; Bridget
McMullan, MF. Freshmen – Julia
Grosek, MF; Molly Turner, MF; Margi
Wiles, F.
Outlook: Seminary will get away
from the WVC’s perennial powers
by dropping down a division, so
that should help. The Blue Knights
return seven letterwinners, but
overall this is a very young team.
The coaching staff has been mov-
ing players to different positions,
so continuity might not be a strong
suit early. Nonetheless, Seminary
could be the dark horse for the
divisional crown.
4. Pittston Area
2010 WVC Record/Finish: 2-10 Div.
B, tied 6th
2010 postseason: Lost 5-0 to
Hazleton Area in D2-3A quarterfi-
nals.
Coach: Nicole Tieso
Home field: Primary Center, Rock
St., Hughestown
Players to watch: Seniors – Sara
Kielbasa, FB; Kaylene Sutkowski,
MF. Juniors – Danielle Fereck, MF/F;
Sarah Kosik, FB. Sophomore –
Elizabeth Mikitish, MF/F.
Outlook: Pittston Area returns
some experienced players, but
overall the team is very young,
with 10 freshmen on the 31-player
roster. Add in nine sophomores,
and it seems clear the Patriots will
experience some growing pains
throughout the season. However,
the seniors and other returnees
have taken the lead in guiding the
squad. If the newcomers blend with
the veterans quickly, Pittston Area
will likely increase its win total
from 2010.
5. Hanover Area
2010 WVC Record/Finish: 2-10 Div.
B, tied 6th
2010 postseason: none
Coach: Brian Bannon
Home field: High school
Players to watch: Seniors – Krista
Colorusso, MF/F; Mary Kate Keat-
ing, MF/F. Junior – Gaby Murphy,
F/MF. Sophomores – Kayla Keating,
MF/F; Samantha Masher, FB/MF.
Outlook: Mary Kate Keating, a
first-team all-star last year, gives
Hanover Area a dangerous fron-
tline player, while Masher is a
strong defender. After those two,
the Hawkeyes will need to sort out
the lineup with limited on-field
time. Another problem is numbers
as only 17 players are on the roster.
Staying healthy, obviously, will be
the key to improvement.
DIVISION 2-B
1. Wyoming Area
2010 WVC Record/Finish: 8-4 Div.
C, 3rd
2010 postseason: Lost 10-1 to
Dallas in D2-2A quarterfinals.
Coach: Mike Pryor
Home field: 10th St., Wyoming
Players to watch: Seniors – Mi-
chelle Gitkos, FB; Sarah Mack, MF;
Katie Scalzo, MF/F; Kourtny
Schwerdtman, F; Megan Yurek, K.
Outlook: Pryor takes over as coach
and has a nice group of returning
players with which to work. Scalzo,
a first-team all-star last season, has
one of the strongest legs in the
WVC and can score from anywhere.
Schwerdtman adds stability up
front and Mack does the same at
midfield. Yurek and Gutkos pace
the defense. If the Warriors can fill
some voids caused by graduation,
they could win the division.
2. Meyers
2010 WVC Record/Finish: 5-7 Div.
C, tied 4th
2010 postseason: none
Coach: Jason Nolan
Home field: Gordon Avenue
Players to watch: Seniors – Melin-
da Formola, FB; Christine Knooren,
FB; Maureen Lisman, F; Kaylee
Macko, MF; Ariel Weidler, MF. Ju-
niors – Leanne McManus, F; Alivia
Weidler, K.
Outlook: Meyers will be playing
with heavy hearts after the passing
of teammate Megan Horst. The
Mohawks are dedicating the sea-
son to her. The season could see
improvement and perhaps a run at
the division. Six seniors return who
logged significant time as under-
classmen and the goalkeeping is
experienced as well. Knooren,
Lisman and Macko were first-team
all-stars last year.
3. Tunkhannock
2010 WVC Record/Finish: 4-8 Div.
C, 6th
2010 postseason: none
Coach: Kaaron Swanson
Home field: Roslund Elem., Rte. 29
Players to watch: Seniors – Alissa
Franko, FB; Maria Romero, MF.
Juniors – Ameila Ayers, FB; Spen-
cer Corby, K; Janel Kalmanowicz, F;
Brielle Sherman, F; Vicki Williams,
F. Sophomores – Anna Boecker, FB;
Mackenzie Drungell, MF; Katie
Proulx, FB; Rachel Russell, MF.
Outlook: Tunkhannock returns
several experienced players and
should be able to improve on last
year’s record. Ayers and Romero
are returning second-team all-stars
and will anchor the midfield and
defense, respectively. There is also
stability up front with three return-
ees and in goal. The Tigers should
be competitive in every game and
could make a run at the division if
things fall into place.
4. GAR
2010 WVC Record/Finish: 5-7 Div.
C, tied 4th
2010 postseason: none
Coach: Stephanie Frank
Home field: old Wilkes-Barre Twp.
H.S.
Players to watch: Seniors – Emilee
Bubblo, MF; Kaitlyn Dunbar, MF;
Ashley Maloney, FB; Alicia Riggs-
bee, MF/F. Juniors – Kaleigh Bub-
blo, MF/FB; Caitlyn Kovach, FB;
Brianne Majikes, FB. Sophomore –
Freshman – Jillianna Leco, K.
Outlook: Frank becomes the fifth
new GAR coach in as many years
and will inherit the same concern,
a lack of numbers. Only 12 players
are on the roster, so staying
healthy is imperative. The Grena-
diers graduated a lot of speed up
front, but there are still some solid
players on the roster. Leco and
Bubblo were second-team all-stars
last season, while Riggsbee was an
honorable mention choice.
5. MMI Prep
2010 WVC Record/Finish: 0-12,
7th
2010 postseason: none
Coach: Kim McNulty
Home field: Raiders Field, 23rd St.,
Hazleton
Players to watch: Cassie Caldwell,
FB; Rachael Daniels, MF; Julia
Dasher, FB; Katlyn Frey, FB; Alexis
Haupt, F; Cathy Hood FB; Lyndsey
Joseph, F; Erin Kislan, F; Gabbie
Lobitz, MF; Amanda Miller, K.
Outlook: It’s been a tough road for
MMI, the smallest school in the
conference with just 59 girls. The
Preppers made some inroads in
2009 with two victories, but back-
slid last year. First-team all-star
Diana Anthony has graduated, but
there is some experience return-
ing. The main goals will probably
be improving throughout the sea-
son and picking up a couple victo-
ries.

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com
Martinek, Parenteau lead Isles past Rangers
The Associated Press
UNIONDALE, N.Y. — Radek
Martinek and P.A. Parenteau
both had a goal and assist dur-
ing the Islanders’ four-goal sec-
ond period, and New York put
the area-rival Rangers back into
postseason peril with a 6-2 vic-
tory Thursday night.
After Blake Comeau got the
Islanders even 1-1 at 3:24, Marti-
nek put them in front 33 sec-
onds later.
Things settled down for a bit,
but the Islanders struck for two
more goals 1:16 apart — the first
by Jesse Joensuu at 13:28 and
the second by Parenteau to turn
it into a rout. Matt Moulson
scored his 31st goal of the sea-
son against backup Chad John-
son with 11:22 left, and Trevor
Gillies made it 6-1 at 14:00.
Even a one-goal deficit
seemed daunting to the Rang-
ers, who lost for the second
time in two nights.
Thrashers 1, Flyers 0
PHILADELPHIA — Nik An-
tropov scored the only goal, and
Chris Mason stopped 43 shots
for his first shutout of the sea-
son in the Atlanta Thrashers’
win over the Philadelphia
Flyers.
Mason earned his 21st career
shutout and was sensational
against the Eastern Conference-
leading Flyers. He stopped 14
shots in the second period and
got some timely offensive help
for his 13th win of the season.
Antropov scored his 15th goal
midway through the third peri-
od and it stuck to keep Atlanta’s
faint playoff hopes alive.
The Thrashers crashed after a
20-15-6 start and will need to
win their final five games and
get some help to make the post-
season for only the second time
in team history.
Atlanta went 3-1 vs. Philadel-
phia this season.
Senators 4, Panthers 1
SUNRISE, Fla. — Rookie
Colin Greening scored twice in
the second period and the Otta-
wa Senators completed a season
sweep of the Florida Panthers
with a victory.
Nick Foligno and Filip Kuba
also scored for the Senators,
who have won six in a row
against Florida dating to last
season. Marek Svatos had two
assists.
Craig Anderson made 37
saves to improve to 9-4-1 since
being acquired in a trade with
Colorado in February.
Michal Repik scored for the
Panthers, whose season-high
losing streak stretched to seven
games.
Scott Clemmensen, starting
in goal with Tomas Vokoun
nursing a back injury, stopped
19 shots.

The New York Islanders’ Blake Comeau (57) celebrates his goal as
New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist (30), Marc Staal (18)
and Dan Girardi (5) react during the second period of an NHL
game Thursday in Uniondale, N.Y. At center is Islanders’ Josh
Bailey (12).
2:30 into overtime to give the
Washington Capitals a 5-3 victo-
ry over the Columbus Blue
Jackets.
The Capitals had a 3-on-2
rush, resulting in Brooks Laich’s
shot that goalie Steve Mason
couldn’t handle. The rebound
went to Chimera and he tapped
the puck in to give Washington
its 12th victory in March.
The Capitals reached 101
points, crossing the 100-point
plateau for the third straight
season, to move within a point
of Philadelphia — a 1-0 loser to
Atlanta — for the Eastern Con-
ference lead.
Scottie Upshaw forced over-
time for Columbus, fighting off
two Washington defenders to
score his 22nd goal of the sea-
son with 5:37 remaining in the
third period.
Maple Leafs 4, Bruins 3
BOSTON — Nazem Kadri
scored the only shootout goal to
help the Toronto Maple Leafs
beat the Boston Bruins.
With the point for reaching
overtime, the Bruins clinched a
tie for the Northeast Division
title. The next Boston win or
loss by Montreal will give the
Bruins the division title.
Joffrey Lupul scored twice for
Toronto, Luke Scheen added a
goal and former Bruins forward
Phil Kessel had a pair of assists.
Brad Marchand, David Krejci
and Andrew Ference scored for
Boston.
Bruins goalie Tim Thomas,
who made 28 saves, made a

right-pad save on Mikhail Gra-
bovski’s penalty shot 43 seconds
into overtime, but Kadri beat
him with a backhand shot over
the left shoulder in the shoo-
tout.
Tyler Seguin, Michael Ryder
and Rich Peverley each failed in
the shootout for the Bruins.
James Reimer made a glove
stop on Peverley to end it.

NANJING, China — Financial leaders
of the Group of 20 top economies ap-
peared to reach informal agreement
Thursday on the need for China’s curren-
cy to have a wider role in global finance,
but not as a substitute for the U.S. dollar.
French Finance Minister Christine La-
garde said the daylong meeting agreed
the G-20 should study including China’s
yuan in the basket of currencies that sets
the value of the International Monetary
Fund’s SDRs, or Special Drawing Rights
— a quasi currency created by the IMF
member governments.
“We raised with our Chinese friends the
idea of including the yuan, under condi-
tions and a time frame to be agreed upon,”
Lagarde said. The basket now includes
the dollar, Japanese yen, euro and British
pound.
Including the yuan would underline
China’s increased clout in the global econ-
omy and finance after it last year overtook
Japan to become the second-biggest econ-
omy. It might also serve as a carrot that
other G-20 members hope will encourage
Beijing to relax controls that limit the Chi-
Since the gathering in the eastern Chi-
nese city of Nanjing was not an official
G-20 meeting, there was no formal agree-
ment, Lagarde said. She also clarified
there was “no suggestion whatsoever that
the dollar be replaced by SDRs,” an option
that has been raised by China as a way of
reducing global reliance on the dollar for
trade and as a reserve currency.
SDRs are allocated by the IMF based on
each country’s voting rights in the organi-
zation and the fund acts as a middleman
between countries that want to exchange
them for freely traded currencies.

WASHINGTON — The Federal
Reserve is naming the banks that
drew emergency loans during the
financial crisis, offering informa-
tion on its oldest lending tool for
the first time in the central bank’s
nearly100-year history.
The Fed was compelled to make
the information public after the Su-

Small firms hopeful

ment reported Thursday.
When excluding transportation,
orders rose 0.1 percent. That’s the
seventh straight increase for that cate-
gory. Still, a key measure of what busi-
nesses spent on capital goods fell for
the second straight month.
Even with the decline, factory orders
totaled $446 billion last month. That’s
a level economists view as healthy and
it is 26.4 percent above the recession
low hit in March 2009.
Economists expect the sector will
grow in the months ahead, based on
strong demand for exports and tax cuts
designed to encourage businesses to
spend more on capital goods.
Rite Aid sales down
Rite Aid Corp. said Thursday that a
key sales measurement slipped in
March because of lower sales of Easter-
related products.
Rite Aid said sales at stores open at
least one year fell 0.1 percent over the
four weeks ended March 26. At the
stores open at least a year, pharmacy
revenue grew 0.8 percent, and sales of
non-pharmacy items like seasonal
goods, candy, and cosmetics fell 1.8
percent. Prescriptions filled at those
stores rose 0.6 percent.
Sales at stores open at least one year
is considered a key measurement of
retailer health because it excludes
results from stores that opened or
closed in the last year.
Easter was on April 4 of 2010, which
put the holiday and the related sales in
Rite Aid’s March period. This year, the
holiday falls on April 24.
Car production to restart
Honda and Mazda say they will
resume limited production at several
Japanese factories in early April, but
full production depends on the flow of
parts.
Honda Motor Co. said Thursday that
two assembly plants will restart April
11, but only at half the normal rate.
Honda also says it will start making
parts on Monday for regions outside
Japan. Honda cautioned that the parts
supply situation remains fluid.
Mazda Motor Corp. says it will start
making cars at the Hiroshima and Hofu
plants Monday. A decision on resuming
full-scale production will come later.
Many Japanese factories are restart-
ing nearly three weeks after the coun-
try was hit by a devastating earthquake
and tsunami.

A new survey of small business owners
released Thursday finds the economic out-
look improving for the nation and the state
of Pennsylvania in the spring.
PNC Financial Services Group’s six-
month Economic Outlook Survey found
that half of small-business owners state-
wide and nationally expect sales to im-
prove in the next six months, but rising
non-labor costs threaten to squeeze profits
and raise selling prices.
“The recovery light hasn’t turned green,
but it’s a lighter shade of yellow,” Stuart
Hoffman, chief economist for The PNC Fi-
nancial Services Group Inc., said in a state-
ment. “The survey results support our
view that the half-speed recovery that be-
gan in July 2009 is transitioning into a self-
sustaining economic expansion.”
The survey was conducted between Jan.
31and March 4 and polled1,445 owners and
senior managers of businesses with annual
revenues between $100,000 and $250,000.
In Pennsylvania, the poll found 50 per-
cent of business owners expect sales to in-
crease in the next six months, up from 43
percent in the fall.
The outlook for Pennsylvania job-seek-
ers has also improved, according to the sur-
vey, which found that 15 percent of busi-
ness owners expect to hire full-time em-
ployeesinthenexthalf-year,upfrom12per-
cent in the fall, while only 8 percent plan to
downsize, down from 11 percent six
months earlier. The national unemploy-
ment rate of 8.9 percent is expected to
change little when new statistics are re-
leased today.
The region including Lackawanna, Lu-
zerne and Wyoming counties continues to
holdthehighestunemploymentrateofPenn-
sylvania’s14 metro areas, though unemploy-
ment in the region dropped four-tenths of a
percentage point to 9.1percent from Decem-
ber to January. Unemployment was at 9 per-
cent in Luzerne in January, a percentage
point lower than the rate a year earlier.

At the height of the 2008 finan-
cial crisis, the Fed loaned as much
as $110 billion through the so-
called “discount window.”
The documents offered details
about which banks borrowed mon-
ey from the lending program from
August 2007 through March 2010.
Big U.S. banks such as Wachovia
and Morgan Stanley relied on the
Fed for short-term loans of $6 bil-
lion and $1.25 billion, respectively,
in the fall of 2008, the documents
showed. So did some of the largest
foreign banks — Barclay’s bor-
rowed $1billion.
But smaller institutions also
drew from the discount window at
the critical time for the financial
sector. The Savings Bank of Maine
and the Bank of Yazoo City in Mis-
sissippi both borrowed millions,

WASHINGTON — The gov-

commission. “Our investigation
into water walking balls will not

The agency is worried about
too little oxygen in the balls as
well as the buildup of carbon
dioxide.
Another concern: the fact that
the product has no emergency
