Less than a year remains in state Department of Environmental Protection’s review of Keystone Sanitary Landfill’s plan to expand.

The DEP held a packed community meeting at Dunmore High School on Wednesday where residents asked DEP staff, Keystone consultant Albert Magnotta and owner Louis DeNaples a wide range of questions.

The DEP is in its first 120-day review of the landfill’s application in which officials examine it for its overall environmental impact, along with its harms-versus-benefits analysis.

The first public comment period, which opened Jan. 3, extends until Thursday.

In the coming weeks, the DEP will hold a public hearing exclusively to take testimony from residents, unlike Wednesday’s question-and-answer session. The date has not been announced.

The DEP will follow with two more environmental assessments, then a technical review. DEP officials expect to make their final decision in January 2016.

Meanwhile, anti-landfill group Friends of Lackawanna’s appeal moves forward regarding the Dunmore’s zoning officer’s decision on the landfill’s height. Dunmore’s zoning hearing board scheduled hearings at 6:30 p.m. March 19, March 26 and April 2 at the Dunmore Community Center.

The appeal centers on whether Dunmore’s zoning code can restrict the landfill’s height.

SCRANTON — An elementary school principal remained in critical condition Thursday after his car collided with a Mack truck Wednesday on Keyser Avenue.

David Bieri, the 51-year-old Sumner Elementary principal, was taken to Geisinger Community Medical Center, where he is in critical condition, hospital spokeswoman Westyn Hinchey said.

Mr. Bieri dropped his phone while driving a Honda Civic on Wednesday morning and hit a DeNaples Sanitation truck driven by 50-year-old Patrick DeNaples III of Dunmore, Scranton police said.

Mr. DeNaples was not injured. No charges will be filed, police said.

Double pension benefits awarded to 25 Scranton employees who retired in 2002 were based on two letters that were never reviewed by the pension board.

The letters, signed by then-pension board secretary Kay Connolly, directed pension fund administrator Thomas J. Anderson & Associates to increase benefits to all the retirees, including six people the nonuniform pension board now believes did not qualify for the perk.

The letters were never included in the board’s records, solicitor Larry Durkin said. The current board only learned of their existence in January, when Mr. Durkin asked Anderson & Associates to produce the documents that authorized the increases.

Mr. Durkin, who on Wednesday confirmed he referred the matter to state police, said he made the discovery after he reviewed the board’s 2003 meeting minutes and saw that it never voted to approve the change in payments to the retirees. That’s an action he said should have been taken after city council passed an ordinance on Feb. 24, 2003, that approved the retirement incentive.

“I contacted the plan administrator to find out what triggered them to make the payment changes,” he said Thursday.

The firm sent him the two letters, both of which are signed by Ms. Connolly, who is among the people who were properly approved for the double pension. The letters indicate they were copied to the then-pension board president, Tom Barrett, whose wife, Terri, was also approved for the enhanced benefits. Mrs. Barrett is among the six people who the board suspects did not qualify for the benefit.

Mr. Durkin said he does not know why the letters were not made part of the pension board’s records. Realizing their importance, he advised the board at its January meeting to vote to include them now.

“It documented why a change in money was going out from the nonuniform fund,” he said. “I don’t know why they were not included, as normally they would be.”

Mr. Durkin, who was not the board’s solicitor in 2002, said he also does not know why the board never voted to approve the change in payments, which would be standard procedure.

The enhanced pension benefits were part of a 2002 retirement incentive former Mayor Chris Doherty offered to employees who had 25 years of service and retired by Dec. 31, 2002.

Questions regarding whether all people qualified for the perk prompted State Auditor General Eugene DePasquale on Wednesday to order an investigation. Auditors are expect to begin the probe today.

State Police Cpl. Mike Reffor of the Bureau of Criminal Investigations unit in Wilkes-Barre on Thursday confirmed the unit is investigating the matter. He declined further comment.

Records reviewed by The Times-Tribune show Ms. Connolly wrote to Anderson & Associates on July 31, 2003 and advised the firm to increase pensions of 15 people “as per the mayor and council.” A second letter dated Oct. 16, 2003 approved another 10 people from the Department of Public Works and administration. The letter notes increases were approved by an ordinance that was approved by City Council.

Contacted Thursday, Ms. Connolly, 77, of Scranton, said she does not know why the pension board did not vote on the retirees or why the letters to Anderson & Associates were not included in the pension board records.

She said she’s distressed by the latest developments because she feels as though people think she did something wrong.

“I feel like everyone is against me,” she said. “People think I’m a crook … I didn’t do anything wrong.”

Even though her name is on the letters, Ms. Connolly said does not believe she wrote them as she is certain she would not have included people who were not qualified for the benefits.

“I would not just pull (the names) out of the air. I just don’t do stuff like that,” she said.

Mr. Barrett, of Scranton, said he also does not know why the board did not vote or why the Anderson letters were not included in the pension board’s records. He said he’s certain he did not direct anyone to write the letter.

“I never directed anyone to do anything. As president I had no authority other than to run the meetings,” he said.

He declined further comment, referring other questions to his attorney, Christopher Powell. Mr. Powell declined comment, saying he has not yet met with his client.

A runaway railroad car packed with lumber rolled through the Midvalley and into Scranton on Thursday.

Around 5:25 p.m., a car on the Delaware & Lackawanna Railroad tracks in Archbald came loose.

Once the car began rolling away, emergency procedures were put in place, and local law enforcement officials locked railroad crossings through the Midvalley.

In Scranton, police blocked close to 12 intersections, Lt. Marty Crofton said.

One officer estimated the car was traveling 50 mph, but no one was injured. The load of lumber remained secure, officials said.

Just past Olive Street in the city, the rail car went up an incline, lost momentum and rolled backward. The car rolled back and forth for a short distance until a railroad worker came to stop it, Lt. Crofton said.

Exactly how the car got loose is still under investigation, but officials believe a faulty hand brake may have prevented it from coming to a stop, said Lorie Ransom, railroad superintendent.

“When the ice gets in there, sometimes it doesn’t matter how hard you apply the brake,” she said.

Already this year, several trains have crashed across North America.

On Tuesday in California, a derailment sent 30 people to the hospital after a train struck a truck stopped on the tracks, The Associated Press reported. A train carrying oil derailed in Ontario on Feb. 14, causing a large explosion. Two days later, another train loaded with crude oil derailed in West Virginia, forcing the evacuation of hundreds of homes.

Also, a New York commuter train collided with an SUV on Feb. 4, killing six and wounding at least 12 others.

Keystone landfill consultant Albert Magnotta revealed a “bypass” exists that would send landfill discharge flowing through a different set of pipes than those specified in an agreement with the Scranton Sewer Authority.

He addressed the issue twice Wednesday night at a community question-and-answer session hosted by the state Department of Environmental Protection.

Early in the night, Mr. Magnotta confirmed the bypass sends wastewater from the landfill’s leachate pretreatment plant through Dunmore Cemetery and the neighborhood of Green Ridge. He said the route is not used under “normal operational procedures.”

Later in the meeting, he couldn’t say how often the landfill has used the alternate line in the past 25 years.

“I can’t say it’s never been used but I would say it’s sparse. I don’t know. I mean, anything I would tell you would be conjecture,” Mr. Magnotta said.

Keystone’s industrial wastewater agreement with the sewer authority specifies the wastewater should be transported to the authority’s treatment plant in South Scranton via a dedicated line. It would mix with other sewage at the authority’s Roaring Brook trunk line after a route approximately through Dunmore’s Sport Hill and Bunker Hill neighborhoods, then Scranton’s Hill Section.

The agreement also sets limits on certain chemicals and parameters the landfill must achieve using its treatment plant. Those are: biochemical oxygen demand; ammonia nitrogen; fats, oil and grease; total petroleum hydrocarbons; pH; arsenic; cadmium; chromium; copper; cyanide; lead; mercury; nickel; silver; zinc and toluene.

Four times a year, landfill staff must take samples, have them tested and send reports to the sewer authority, the permit states.

Keystone’s leachate sparked intense passions in Green Ridge and beyond in 1990, when Scranton’s council refused to allow it to flow through city sewers.

Leachate disposal was the last major obstruction owners Louis and Dominick DeNaples faced in reopening their landfill under new regulations. After council members blocked the plan, Keystone sued the city and the sewer authority for $100 million.

The dispute was finally settled with a contract that gave the landfill five options to deal with its leachate: pretreat it and discharge it to Roaring Brook, spray it on unused land, spray it on roads within the landfill to control dust, pretreat and discharge it to the Lackawanna River and pipe it to the treatment plant.

The options narrowed over the years to one. Keystone’s agreement with the sewer authority spanning 2012 to 2017 only allows pretreatment and discharge to the sewer authority plant, but it does leave open the possibility of a bypass.

The landfill must notify the sewer authority 10 days before using the bypass, if anticipated, and “immediately” notify the authority if unanticipated, with a written follow-up within five days.

Sewer authority Director Gene Barrett said he does not know how many times the landfill has used the bypass.

“Myself and my staff would have to go back and see what the records show,” he said.

The Times-Tribune submitted a Right To Know request Thursday for all bypass records.

Late in Wednesday’s meeting, Scranton attorney Larry Durkin asked Mr. Magnotta if the alternate line flows through Dunmore Cemetery, then through Green Ridge via a combined sewer system that mingles sewage and stormwater runoff. Mr. Magnotta said that is correct.

He called the alternate line “a contingency location.”

“You have to have emergency standby procedures because you don’t want to have any environmental problems,” he said. “It’s there in case something would happen, whether there’s a breakage … we’d have an option to go to another route.”

WILKES-BARRE — A county employee noticed the mistake.

A W-2 form issued by Luzerne County had an error.

Some county employees were paying federal taxes on their income before health insurance payments were deducted.

About 50 W-2 forms sent to county employees were incorrect, said Director of budget and finance Brian Swetz.

The budget and finance division learned of the error Tuesday, Swetz said.

WILKES-BARRE — Police say a Pittston man taken into custody on an old warrant tried to dispose of a hypodermic needle in the back of a police cruiser.

Patrick Evans, 35, came to the attention of Wilkes-Barre police when an officer allegedly saw Mr. Evans acting suspiciously in the area of the Interfaith apartment complex, off Coal Street, on Feb. 13, according to the criminal complaint against Mr. Evans.

Police approached Evans based on his allegedly suspicious behavior, and took him into custody when officers discovered he was wanted by the Luzerne County Sheriff’s Office for failing to appear on a previous charge, according to the complaint.

Police are looking for an alleged burglar who left a partial handprint on the back window of a West Pittston home after breaking in and stealing a television and an Xbox One.

West Pitts­ton police charged Eduardo Maldonado, 35, with felony burglary Wednesday for the Oct. 23 incident at 925 Tunkhannock Ave. Police have not yet apprehended Mr. Maldonado.

Sgt. Samuel Fuller said Mr. Maldonado was charged with burglary after West Pittston police received identification results from a “latent palm print” on Monday.

Sgt.Fuller listed Mr. Maldonado’s last known address as 38 Monroe St. in Wilkes-Barre. Mr. Maldonado was charged with burglary, criminal trespass, theft by unlawful taking, receiving stolen property and criminal mischief. Magisterial District Judge Joseph J. Carmody issued a warrant for Mr. Maldonado’s arrest on Thursday.

Sgt. Fuller said anyone who sees Mr. Maldonado should call 911. Anyone with information regarding Mr. Maldonado’s possible whereabouts can contact Sgt. Fuller at 570-655-7780 ext. 305.

WILKES-BARRE — Ronald Selenski pleaded guilty Thursday to a summary disorderly conduct offense in connection with an outburst following the verdict against his brother in the capital murder trial.

Mr. Selenski, 34, of 3374 Chase Road, Shavertown, was charged with three counts of making terroristic threats and one count of disorderly conduct following his run-in with prosecutors on the third floor of the courthouse Feb. 11.

Prosecutors said he rushed an elevator containing officials and the families of Hugo Selenski’s victims, making a gesture of a gun with his hand and saying, “You, I’m going to get you” to Assistant District Attorney Jarrett Ferentino and Luzerne County Detective Chaz Balogh.

The outburst came minutes after Hugo Selenski, 41, was convicted of first-degree murder in the deaths of Michael Kerkowski and his girlfriend Tammy Fassett, both 37.

Senior Magisterial District Judge Thomas Sharkey fined Ronald Selenski $189, including fees and costs.

WEST PITTSTON — Authorities are investigating a suspected arson after a West Pittston building caught fire for the third time in less than a year late Wednesday night.

The fire at 21 Luzerne Ave. started at about 11:55 p.m. Wednesday, said West Pittston Fire Chief John Hood. A West Pittston police officer reported the fire and alerted the residents of the one occupied apartment in the building to the danger, he said.

No one was hurt in the fire and the American Red Cross is helping the displaced residents to find shelter, Chief Hood said.

Republican Lackawanna County Commissioner Patrick O’Malley will switch his voter registration back to the Democratic Party and team up with Democratic Commissioner Jim Wansacz to run as a team for re-election, the two men announced today.

Long a Democrat, Mr. O’Malley was president of the Young Democrats of Pennsylvania in the late 1990s and president of the Lackawanna County Young Democrats in the early 2000s. A prison guard since 1990, he was hired as county assistant director of parks on Jan. 1, 2004, at a salary of $35,650, just before Republican majority commissioners Robert C. Cordaro and A.J. Munchak took control of the county.

Mr. O’Malley switched to the Republican Party in April 2005 and stayed in that position until he was terminated on Jan. 8, 2008, after a new majority, Democratic commissioners Corey O’Brien and Mike Washo took over.

Mr. O’Malley, 45, sued the county in federal court for wrongful termination and was part of a $1 million settlement in 2013 between the county and 17 former workers who said they were fired for political reasons.

Mr. O’Malley ran for the Scranton School Board as a Republican in 2007 and was the top votegetter for the Republican and Democratic nominations. He ran for commissioner in 2011, and finished third behind Mr. Wansacz and Mr. O’Brien, to earn one of the three commissioner spots.

Mr. Wansacz, 42, of Old Forge, served as a state representative for a decade, but left the House after losing a bid to win a seat in the state Senate in 2010. He was elected a commissioner in 2011.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Gov. Tom Wolf says he wants to allow more Pennsylvania seniors to obtain health care in their home instead of a nursing facility.

In an event Friday at the AARP office in Philadelphia, Wolf told about 30 people that his upcoming budget would expand home- and community-based long term care for an additional 5,500 people. The Democrat says the proposal would make long-term care for seniors more convenient and personal.

Wolf says avoiding nursing-home care for those people would save taxpayers $162 million a year.

Wolf also says he wants to make it easier for patients eligible for home health care to have their homes modified to make them more accessible.

The new governor is set to unveil his first state budget plan on Tuesday.

First National Community Bank has been fined $1.5 million serving as banker in the “Kids for Cash” scandal in which two Luzerne County judges receive kickbacks from the developer of a juvenile detention facility.

The bank failed to report transactions from former judge Michael Conahan, who served as a member of the Dunmore bank board at the time and controlled accounts through which bribes were funneled. The bank admitted to the reporting failures.

Investigators said the bank’s failure possibly prolonged the criminal activity in which thousands of juveniles were sentenced to the detention center under questionable circumstances.

“The criminal case affected the lives of thousands of children and parents,” said Jennifer Shasky Calvery, director of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, FinCEN an independent investigative arm of the U.S. Department of Treasury. “Banks have a duty to spot suspicious activity and to report it. FNCB’s failure to file a timely suspicious activity reports may have deprived law enforcement of information valuable for tracking millions of dollars in related corrupt funds.”

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency levied a $500,000 civil money penalty. FinCEN levied a $1.5 million penalty concurrent with the OCC penalty.

Leslie Bacinelli now has a long pink scar extending from one side of her mouth. She’s lucky to be alive.

At a preliminary hearing Friday at the Lackawanna County Courthouse, she and another victim of a recent car-and-knife attack described the nightmarish scene in which Timothy Michael McGoff, 37, of Moscow, stands accused.

After listening to testimony from the victims and the arresting officer, Magisterial District Judge Sean McGraw moved the case and its long list of charges, including two counts of attempted homicide, on to the higher county court and a step closer to trial.

The defendant’s ex-wife, Ms. Bacinelli, and her boyfriend, Craig Hoover, testified separately about the Jan. 3 attack in Moscow. During a trip to the grocery store, an SUV started following their Subaru, eventually bashing their rear bumper several times and then ramming them into a guardrail where they were forced to a stop.

As Mr. McGoff, sitting next to his attorneys dressed in khaki prison clothes and shackles, listened, Mr. Hoover recalled how the enraged defendant, who told police he had been denied access to his kids by Ms. Bacinelli, cursed and screamed that he was going to kill the pair. After she exited the car, the defendant ran down Ms. Bacinelli, grabbed her by the hair and made a slashing and a sawing motion across her throat with a knife.

Mr. Hoover said he had been frantically following the foot chase and screamed at Mr. McGoff to stop, then found himself pursued by the knife-wielding defendant. He was chased around a car, he said, and then up the on-ramp to I-380, where police finally arrived and arrested Mr. McGoff. Even in custody, the defendant continued to curse and declare his intentions to murder the pair, according to police.

Ms. Bacinelli was wearing a thick scarf around her neck that night, which likely saved her life. If the slash across her face had been an eighth of an inch deeper, a doctor told her she could have faced serious injury, she testified.

While Mr. McGoff’s defense attorneys questioned her, she answered their questions and recalled the attack, causing some of her friends and family in the courtroom to weep.

“My story hasn’t changed,” Ms. Bacinelli said from the stand. “It’s going to be the same story for the rest of my life.”

Mr. McGoff remains in Lackawanna County Prison on $150,000 bail.

BLAKELY — A borough man is in custody after he punched his girlfriend, police said.

Early Friday, Jamont Henry, 37, 425 Depot St., arrived drunk at 456 Main St. and argued about his intoxication with his girlfriend, Tyana Servance.

The argument continued until 7 a.m., when Ms. Servance told police Mr. Henry punched her in the face and pulled her hair. Two of Ms. Servance’s children and a cousin stepped in to protect her. Mr. Henry hit at least two of them in the face, police said.

Mr. Henry told police the fight began when he was hit in the eye by a phone and the women attacked him. Officers saw wounds on three of the women, including Ms. Servance.

Mr. Henry is charged with simple assault and endangering the welfare of children. He is held In Lackawanna County Prison in lieu of $10,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.

Prison pepper spray

program expanded

WILKES-BARRE — Just days after the second anniversary of the murder of a federal correctional officer from Nanticoke, the Bureau of Prisons on Friday once again expanded a program to arm prison staff with pepper spray.

Bureau of Prisons Director Charles Samuels announced pepper spray will now be available to all staff in high- and medium-security federal institutions.

Equipped with only a radio, keys and handcuffs, Eric Williams was working alone in a unit housing about 130 inmates when he was attacked, beaten and stabbed to death on Feb. 25, 2013, at U.S. Penitentiary at Canaan in Wayne County.

After his murder, lawmakers representing the region urged the bureau to expand the use of pepper spray and introduced the “Eric Williams Correctional Officer Protection Act.”
