WILKES-BARRE - First National Community Bank is asking a judge to grant a protective order against the Powell Law Group to "prohibit broad, burdensome and intrusive discovery" regarding a lawsuit the law firm filed against the bank.

The law firm, in a suit filed in 2012, accuses the bank of conflicts of interest and other "improper acts" that led to the default in millions of dollars in loans guaranteed by the Powell Law Group to build a townhouse project in Wright Twp. and a law office in Drums.

Firefighters are on scene of a house fire on Jericho Road in Newfoundland in Wayne County.

The home is gutted, with just blackened support beams remaining. White smoke is visible for miles.

OVERFIELD TWP. - Firefighters quickly stopped the spread of a chimney fire Sunday at 2688 Route 307 in Lake Winola.

With the Clarks Summit ladder truck and crew, Lake Winola Fire Company got the fire under control within about 15 minutes of the approximately 5 p.m. call, Chief Marty Bonifanti said.

Most of the damage was restricted to the chimney, with minor damage to the area surrounding the wood burner in the home, the chief said.

Firefighters continued to check the roof, attic and basement for any remaining flames until about 6:15 p.m., Chief Bonifanti said.

Two days a week, senior Danielle Guari leaves Valley View High School to go to class at the University of Scranton.

When she graduates in June, she will already have 18 college credits on her transcript.

As college costs increase, a growing number of students like Danielle are earning credits before high school graduation. More than 1,000 high school students are enrolled in dual-enrollment programs in colleges in Lackawanna County. Students either earn credit taking courses in their high schools that have been approved by the colleges, or by attending classes on the college campuses. Tuition rates are deeply discounted.

In 2011, when Gov. Tom Corbett eliminated funding for the state's dual-enrollment program, many colleges saw sharp declines in the number of high school students enrolled. Since then, colleges have refocused efforts and increased offerings. Officials have also marketed the programs as a way to save money.

"It's going to open doors to kids who may not have necessarily thought college was an option for them," said Christopher Mazzino, the Scranton School District's supervisor of curriculum and instruction.

Scranton has become one of the latest districts to form a partnership with Lackawanna College. For the spring semester, the college expects about 400 students from more than two dozen districts to earn credits, said Jeff Gregory, Lackawanna's director of admissions.

The way each area dual-enrollment program is structured varies. At Lackawanna, officials reviewed upper-level high school course descriptions and matched the classes with courses from Lackawanna. For example, an advanced composition class in the Scranton School District counts for college writing at Lackawanna. Most classes are three credits, and credits range from $100 to $125 each. If the student receives a final grade of 80 or above in the high school course, the student will earn those college credits. The credits are then transferable to other colleges.

At Keystone College, about 700 students from 16 school districts are enrolled in the dual-enrollment program, said Sarah Keating, the college's vice president for enrollment and marketing. Tuition is $100 per credit.

Students take the classes at their high schools, after college officials review course syllabi and vet the faculty teaching the courses. About 90 percent of the courses are Advanced Placement and the rest are advanced honors, Ms. Keating said.

At Marywood University, high school students attend summer programs, and dual-enrollment agreements exist with 10 different districts from across the region. Holy Cross High School students can also take courses on campus as part of the Holy Cross Scholars program.

Penn State Worthington Scranton now has been 20 and 30 high school students enrolled in courses, down from the 80 enrolled when the state funded the program, school spokeswoman Amy Gruzesky said. The college enrolls students primarily from the Valley View, Abington Heights, Scranton, Dunmore and Mid Valley school districts.

Baptist Bible College & Seminary also offers dual-enrollment programs. While it has no official agreements with school districts, high school students are able to take courses on campus or online for $120 per credit. If the student enrolls in Baptist Bible after high school graduation, the college will apply any dual-enrollment tuition as a scholarship.

The University of Scranton averages about 50 to 60 high school students on campus each semester. In order for students to truly receive a college experience and college-level work, students must take the courses on campus, said Meg Cullen Brown, an assistant dean in the College of Graduate and Continuing Education. The university has affiliation agreements with most school districts in the region.

For Danielle, her 18 credits earned at the University of Scranton will fulfill general-education requirements as a future accounting major. The credits, including those earned for U.S. History II this semester, count as electives at Valley View.

"It was a great opportunity to start and to challenge myself," she said. "I know exactly how the classes are set up and run and I know how much workload to expect."

The two businesses leaving downtown Scranton generated about $200,000 in annual revenue for the Scranton Parking Authority - money used to pay down parking debt in bond payments, said the authority's court-appointed receiver.

The city of Scranton, however, guarantees authority debt, meaning it ultimately is responsible for the bill.

"With any revenue deficiency, the city remains guarantor of the debt," city Business Administrator David Bulzoni said.

Mike Washo, receiver of the authority's five parking garages, did not want to speculate on precisely how the loss in revenue may affect the city's future contributions, saying a comment without "exhausting" all potential revenue replacements would be premature.

During city council's meeting Thursday, Councilman Bill Gaughan noted that the departure of EDM and VaxServe means a loss of nearly 300 jobs from downtown and a loss of parking revenue.

"Diversified and VaxServe are moving up to Montage Mountain and along with them are going 300 jobs from downtown Scranton," Mr. Gaughan said. "Along with that is going tax revenue, parking revenue, and the economic impact that those 300 people have on the downtown, whether they eat, shop and park."

VaxServe pays just under $100,000 a year for 80 parking spaces in the Casey garage and the Connell garage, while EDM, formerly known as Diversified Information Technologies, pays a little less for 70 parking spaces in the Electric City garage.

"The combined total between the two would be around $190,000," said Mr. Washo.

Payments on the three bonds for 2014 will come in under $3.4 million, paid out in quarterly installments of varying amounts. The first payment, under $500,000, is due Saturday, Mr. Washo said. The news of two businesses leaving will not affect the March payment, since one-sixth of the year's revenue has been collected.

"The bond payment will be made on time," Mr. Washo said. "I have no reason to doubt that."

VaxServe will move to Glenmaura Corporate Center in Moosic in the summer and EDM will move to Moosic in the fall, so the parking authority will continue to receive payments from them until then, meaning no change is expected toward the June payment as well.

"At this moment we are not in an emergency situation," Mr. Washo said. "We will continue to receive revenue from them."

Mr. Washo is in conversations with Mr. Bulzoni - who has shown a "very keen interest" in the problem - on lining up new tenants for open spaces and ways to increase revenue without raising parking prices, Mr. Washo said.

"I think that further price increases would lead to further erosion the number of people buying (spaces)," Mr. Washo said.

HARRISBURG - Concerns about a spate of drug overdose deaths in Pennsylvania have put the spotlight on legislation to create a state database to monitor illegal use of prescription drugs.

The issue surfaced last month during state Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane's budget hearing before the Senate Appropriations Committee.

Passage of monitoring legislation is key to combatting illegal drug use, said Ms. Kane. Prescription drug abuse is often a gateway to heroin use, she said.

"We have a heroin problem," added Ms. Kane. "We also have a prescription pill problem."

House lawmakers approved a prescription drug monitoring bill last October sponsored by Rep. Matt Baker, R-68, Wellsboro, chairman of the House Health Committee.

The Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee plans to consider the issue March 19. Mr. Baker's bill is before that panel, as well as a bill sponsored by panel chairwoman Sen. Pat Vance, R-31, Camp Hill.

The goal is to create a database under the state Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs with records listing the names of patients receiving prescriptions of controlled substances, the prescribing doctor, pharmacist or other dispenser, the drug dosage and source of payment.

This information would be considered confidential. The House-approved bill grants access to the database to doctors, pharmacists, certain state agencies involved in oversight or licensing investigations and coroners investigating a cause of death.

The database will give doctors and pharmacists the information they need to flag unusual or unacceptable activity, said Mr. Baker. For example, if someone received prescriptions from two different doctors for a narcotic and goes to two different pharmacies to get the prescriptions filled, that information will show up on the database, he said.

One of the purposes of the database would be to identify and help individuals suffering with an addiction, he said.

"We are one of only 12 states that does not have a comprehensive prescription drug monitoring program," added Mr. Baker. "We are hearing about more and more overdose deaths while we are waiting to get this legislation passed."

There are some outstanding issues that need to be ironed out, such as the extent of law enforcement access to the database through the use of search warrants, said Mr. Baker.

Ms. Vance said she is trying to draft a provision on this issue that would be acceptable to the coalition of groups supporting the bill.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania is a vocal critic of the bill, saying it goes too far in sacrificing privacy rights.

A major flaw is that the bill allows law enforcement to access the records without court oversight, said Andy Hoover, ACLU legislative director.

He said a provision for records to be kept in the database for six years is too long.

"That length of time creates a situation where private personal information is vulnerable to a security breach," said Mr. Hoover, adding that a two-year limit would be more appropriate.

PLAINS TWP. - A Duryea woman was in the intensive care unit at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center on Sunday after her 2004 Pontiac Sunfire rolled over in a Ransom Twp. crash.

Deborah A. Kerish, 49, remained in critical condition Sunday night after the 6:30 a.m. crash on Saturday, nursing supervisor John Kopec said.

Ms. Kerish was driving on Lower Narrows Road a half mile from the Luzerne County line when her car struck a rock embankment, state police at Dunmore said. The car slid across the road, went down an embankment and came to rest upright.

Police charged her with driving at an unsafe speed and said the investigation was continuing.

Mid-2013 was a good time for Sanofi-Pasteur to switch to natural gas. The eve of the coldest winter in at least a decade, the 6.5-mile extension of a natural gas pipeline in Monroe County turned on, helping the vaccine maker convert from heating oil that had to be delivered by convoys of tanker trucks.

Sanofi officials are happy with the service, noting that natural gas is more reliable than heating oil.

Sanofi and local natural gas delivery company UGI Corp. had been in discussions for years. In that time, Marcellus Shale gas production ramped up, stabilizing the price of natural gas at historically low levels. Sanofi benefited from a Pennsylvania Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program, which kicked in $5 million for the $12.7 million project that extended a gas main that served the Tobyhanna Army Depot and the Johnson & Johnson distribution center.

Sanofi officials said that after a year of natural gas use, the savings and performance of the revamped system is as expected. In addition to saving money, natural gas is also helping the company achieve environmental goals by reducing the carbon footprint of Sanofi's Swiftwater campus.

UGI spokesman Joe Swope said the line has also made natural gas service available for several dozen properties.

DICKSON CITY - After more than 40 years at Viewmont Mall, Roma Pizza & Italian Restaurant served its last slices there on Sunday.

Owner Joe Amato said he had a year and a half left on his lease, but mall officials exercised a provision to allow the contract to be terminated early to make room for a large restaurant that will take a big chunk of the food court area's space. He plans to reopen Roma in a few months on Business Route 6.

Customers who stopped by Sunday for a last slice before the hiatus were disappointed to see the longtime Viewmont Mall fixture go.

"It's always been one of my favorite pizza spots when I was a kid," said Dr. Jeff Montgomery, a 35-year-old Moscow resident. "That was the highlight of the week, going up there on a Friday night and getting pizza."

Alissa Lozenski is a Covington Twp. resident who similarly has been eating at Roma for more than 20 years. Her sons Zander, 7, and Chris, 5, said it is their favorite pizza place as they ate with their 1-year-old brother, Wyatt.

Customers recalled that Roma was once located outside the mall, among a strip of stores and a movie theater. Roma relocated inside the main mall building as a stand-alone restaurant before moving into the food court about 18 years ago.

Mall management offered Mr. Amato another spot in the food court for higher rent, but he said he was not interested. He plans to reopen in a few months at the old Entenmann's building at 840 Business Route 6.

Mall officials could not be reached for comment on Sunday.

Mr. Amato bought Roma from Fran and Vince Cimini about eight years ago. Mrs. Cimini said she was disappointed by the change in a restaurant that she had many fond memories of running before Mr. Amato took over.

"We served three generations of people," she said of her 33 years at Roma. "We made a lot of friends, and they were good to us. I like to think we were good to them, too."

"Nothing lasts forever, right?" Mrs. Cimini said. "It's sad, but that's progress, I guess."

Funeral services have been scheduled for Monsignor Stephen Hrynuck, the "holy little priest from the church with the golden domes in Olyphant," who died Thursday at Holy Family Residence in Scranton.

Friends may call today, from noon to 8 p.m. at SS. Cyril and Methodius Church, 135 River St., Olyphant, with Parastas at 7. The Hierarchical Divine Liturgy will be celebrated by His Grace, Archbishop Metropolitan Stefan Soroka, on Tuesday at 11 a.m. Interment will be in the parish cemetery in Peckville.

Due to the Lenten season, in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to SS. Cyril and Methodius Church, 135 River St., Olyphant, PA 18447; or Holy Family Residence, 2500 Adams Ave., Scranton, PA 18509.

Teachers in the Abington Heights School District are scaling back their involvement in volunteer activities outside the school day in response to the school board's position on retroactive pay.

The Abington Heights School Board and district's education association have been in negotiations since before the teachers' contract expired at the end of the 2010-11 school year.

During recent informal negotiations, the school board made it clear that it won't include retroactive pay in the new contract, meaning teachers won't receive a lump-sum payment for salary step increases in 2011-12 and 2012-13, union President James Maria said.

For example, teachers with a bachelors degree whose first year in the district was the 2010-11 school year should have seen salary jump from $46,059 to at least $46,659 in 2011-12 and $47,259 in 2012-13. Without retroactive pay, the teachers' salary would just jump from $46,059 to $47,859 in 2013-14 - losing out on about $1,800, Mr. Maria said.

In response, teachers are scaling back from any volunteer activities outside the seven hours and 15 minutes they are contracted to be at school.

"For the two expired years, they don't want to live up to their end of the bargain," Mr. Maria said. "It's taking money directly out of people's pockets."

Efforts to reach school board President Cathy Ann Hardaway were unsuccessful.

District Superintendent Michael Mahon, Ph.D., said the school board is trying to make decisions that balance the interests of teachers, students and taxpayers "in a fiscal environment that is of crisis proportions." But there are limits to what the board can do financially, evidenced by the large class sizes in second grade, he said. The district eliminated three elementary positions to help address a projected $2 million shortfall for 2013-14.

"It's very unfortunate that, apparently, the union has decided to withhold some services from kids in the same week that 210 layoffs have been announced in Lackawanna County," he said.

Mr. Maria applauded the district's recent financial moves. But noting the approximately $18.5 million in the district's general fund balance, he said the school board is being "disingenuous" if they say they don't have money because they didn't budget for it or because of the pension spike.

While the option remains on the table, he said there are no immediate plans to strike.

"Unfortunately, we have to pull back from the things we do," he said. "We have to be absent from what we do in order to make people conscious of what we do above and beyond."

A Hallstead man turned himself in to state police Monday after being charged in the vehicular homicide of a 20-year-old man on a Great Bend Twp. road in January.

Roger James Radakovich, 25, drove south on route 11, a few miles south of the New York State border, in a silver Jeep Liberty around 1:30 a.m. on Jan. 15, state police public information officer Connie Devens said in a news release.

Earl Lyman Youngs was walking south along the road.

Mr. Radakovich struck Mr. Youngs with the Jeep's right-front end. The 20-year-old Mr. Youngs rolled up the windshield, onto the hood, then off the SUV and onto the west berm of the road, state police said.

Mr. Radakovich stopped briefly then drove on, witnesses told state police.

News reports generated a tip that put a name with the silver SUV. Troopers found the damaged Jeep and took Mr. Radakovich into custody for questioning.

Mr. Radakovich is charged for homicide by vehicle, involuntary manslaughter, accidents involving death or personal injury, failing to stop and give information or render aid, driving without insurance, driving without inspection, driving at a safe speed and violation of use of certificate of inspection.

He was arraigned by Magisterial District Judge Jodi Cordner on $25,000 unsecured bail, pending a preliminary hearing on Monday, March 17.
