NATION Prosecution rests in Pitino trial LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Prosecutors have rested their case against a woman charged with trying to extort millions from Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino in exchange for staying silent about a sexual fling in a restaurant. Tuesday's close came after seven days of sometimes lurid testimony and 21 witnesses. The star was Pitino himself, who answered detailed questions about the night in 2003 that he and Karen Cunagin Sypher had a sexual encounter in a closed Italian restaurant. Sypher's defense is expected to begin Wednesday. It is unclear if she will take the witness stand. She is accused of demanding $10 million, college tuition for her children, and her house to be paid off. Sypher has pleaded not guilty to extortion, retaliating against a witness and lying to the FBI. She faces prison time if convicted.

| Board OKs loans to buy gymnastics center Posted: 03 Aug 2010 12:59 AM PDT OROVILLE -- The Feather River Recreation and Park District board of directors voted unanimously — with Roger Soudan absent — to approve two loans to buy the Oroville Gymnastics Sports Academy for $3.5 million on Monday. Supporters of the purchase filled the room. Only one person attending had reservations about the deal. The board approved a 10-year, $3.15 million loan with Butte Community Bank and a 10-year, $350,000 loan from the city. Approval for the loans failed at the meeting last week, but some concessions by the bank for lower payments in the first years drew "yes" votes from chairperson Jan Hill and directors Tamara Dorfman, Vene Thompson and Loren Gill. The loan to the city would carry a monthly payment of a little more than $3,700, according to previous information from Rick Farley of the city of Oroville. The loan payment to the bank was originally about $38,000 a month, which caused some of the board members heartburn at the last meeting. However, the bank has since agreed to lower the loan payments in the first three years to $23,261. The last seven loan payments would then go to a little more than $42,500. General Manager John Buck III said the U.S. Department of Agriculture approved a guarantee for the bank loan. Former park district manager Sonny Brandt was the only person who showed up with questions. Brandt said the district had not had a public hearing on buying the center that he read in the newspaper, and it was just on the agenda last week for the first time, but — boom — they are buying it.Brandt said the public should have had a chance to comment, and he was concerned about the financial status of the district on behalf of its 60,000 residents. Director Thompson said it had been talked about at every meeting for a long time. Nonetheless, the first time the gymnastics sale was on an agenda received by the Mercury-Register was last Wednesday, and that was the first time most of the board knew what the loan payments were. Still, last week's and Monday's meetings were noticed in newspaper articles, but no one showed up at either meeting to comment except Brandt. Brandt also asked if the operation costs of the center were in the budget approved last week. Finance Manager Susan Martin said the loan had just been approved, so it couldn't have been put in the budget. Brandt asked if the gymnastics center made a profit now. Marcia Carter, the current owner, said she made a profit of more than $40,000 a month until 2006, when the state started funding after-school programs at schools. Carter said her profit then dropped by $18,000 a month. Brandt had more questions about center operations, but Hill told Brandt his five minutes were up, and he could talk to her and Carter later if he had more questions. Later Thompson said the center will pay its own way and even make a profit, and the district manager is already working on increasing programs and funding for those programs, but they can't talk about that yet. Additionally, the district's legal counsel is working with the Butte Local Agency Formation Commission to see if the district can reorganize. Currently tenets of the district's organization preclude it from entering into more than a 10-year loan for real property. If the district could reorganize under another "article," the center could be financed under a longer-term loan, which would decrease monthly payments, the district's attorney, Jessica Miller, said last week. Outside the meeting Monday afternoon, Carter said the newspaper only mentioned that the center was bought for $3.5 million but not what she had lost. Carter said she had put $4.7 million into the center, and she had lost everything. Currently, she owed about $800,000 in various city loans, according to the city, and somewhere around $2 million to the bank, according to one board member. However, she said she didn't lose her home or the homes of family members that had been put up for collateral to buy the center. Carter and other full-time employees will continue to work at the center. She teaches "Rolling Into Reading," a program she developed to help children with disabilities learn to read. The program combines gymnastic physical fitness and sensory processing. The website lists several similar classes that combine physical fitness and brain stimulation. The center also has 22 part-time employees. It also offers gymnastics classes, preschool classes and after-school programs.
