“There was Cary Grant and then everyone else was an also-ran.” When Peter Bogdanovich made that statement, he was referring to Grant’s comedic turn in 1937’s “The Awful Truth,” which, the film historian claimed, marked when the former Archibald Leach of Bristol, England, became the dashing, debonair sex symbol who is still loved today. The Taylor Community Library, 710 S. Main St., will celebrate Grant’s legacy by offering a film festival in his honor throughout the month of April, beginning with “Bringing Up Baby” on Thursday, April 9; “Talk of the Town”, on Thursday, April 16; “Room for One More” on Thursday, April 23; and “Charade” on Thursday, April 30. All films will begin at 6:30 p.m. Library director Jeanie Sluck, who readily declared Grant as her favorite actor, closely studied his career. Having always wanted to host a film festival for adults at the library, she decided to use it as an opportunity to introduce people to the man Alfred Hitchcock called “The only actor I ever loved in my whole life.” All of the films will be shown in order of production, one for each decade of Grant’s career. Sluck vividly remembers the first time she saw Grant on screen. “I fell in love with him when I was a junior in high school,” she recalled. “My nana was in the hospital and my mom was spending all her time there. My dad, being a typical dad, went to bed and thought I would soon follow. How wrong he was! WVIA Channel 44 used to show movies Monday through Friday evenings at 11:30 p.m. and 1 a.m. I starting watching ‘Mr. Lucky’ and was hooked. That entire week was devoted to Cary Grant films and I’ve been his number one fan ever since.” Knowing that other people may get hooked on Grant as a result of this festival, Sluck also plans on having a display at the library that will include biographies of him; includ-

The Taylor Community Library will host a Cary Grant film festival beginning on Thursday, April 9, with “Bringing Up Baby,” starting at 6:30 p.m. The festival will continue every Thursday through April 30.

ing “Dear Cary,” written by Dyan Cannon, his fourth wife and mother of his only child. Cannon and Grant’s daughter, Jennifer, also became an actresses. “There are so many reasons that make Cary Grant appealing — everything from his hypnotic brown eyes, his charming smile, the cleft of his chin and definitely his accent,” Sluck said. “I think another reason why people find him appealing is that no matter if he is playing the common man or the gentleman thief he
does it all with style and class.” Sluck will present an overview of each film before it begins and there will be discussions after they conclude. There will also be refreshments available. Admission is free with a library card and if someone wants to attend and does not possess a Lackawanna County Library System card, they can apply on the spot or visit lclshome.org/join to apply online. For more information, call the Taylor Community Library at 570-562-1234.

Taking the Helm
Zuby returns as Lady Vikes’ coach by Dave Lauriha
TRIBORO BANNER WRITER
Mike Zuby has seen how important building relationships can be, both in sports as a youngster and more recently as a policeman in Taylor. But the 1997 Riverside graduate has a new arena to do such things, as he has begun his first year heading the Lady Vikings track and field program. Zuby, a standout sprinter and hurdler with the Vikings during his high school years, is hoping his access to students will pay dividends with his work in track. “I’m the student resource officer at Riverside,” Zuby said. “I’m a Taylor policeman, so I have the ability of building relationships with the kids while I’m in the school and helping the program build back to where it used to be. ” Zuby, who succeeds Deb Kapelan as the head coach, wants to be whatever the girls need him to be. “[I can provide] guidance and be a moral supporter and help them believe in themselves, take a good look at themselves, and understand that I’m here to help them,” Zuby said. Because of the weather, there haven’t been that many opportunities to run those events yet this season. “We got out on the track last week, but it was pretty icy up there,” Zuby said. “Back in the day, we used to go up there and shovel it to run. Now, with the rubber track, it’s not an easy thing to do because you don’t want to ruin it in any way.” He has noticed other differences from his time at Riverside as an athlete to his time there now in his current position. “The biggest change is the desire for participation. We have 26 girls on the team; back in the day, we had nine kids out for the team, but we were running four events each,” Zuby said. “We have more numbers these days. We’re looking to condition these girls so they have confidence; I want to build up their confidence. The interest in participation has grown and maybe with me being someone that they look up to as a resource officer or policeman has something to do with that for some of them. Everyone’s there for a
different reason.” Sorting out the talent has been tougher as Zuby hasn’t had many chances to see the girls on the track because of the weather, but he has gotten glimmers of hope from some of his athletes, who not only are getting used to a new coach, but also growing a bit weary from all the indoor practices because of the conditions. “We’ve adjusted. We started working inside doing multiple different types of conditioning training, trying to build the strength of the girls so when they finally get out on the track and they start hitting these hard workouts, their bodies can adjust and not be so shocked from the hard practices we have on the track,” Zuby said. “It’s been a slow process with the weather. Now that we’re out, we’re really hitting it hard, and I’m seeing a lot of commitments from certain girls who’ve been there awhile. There are a few newcomers who have impressed us and we’re looking for some good things from those newcomers.” Zuby credits his staff with being a great help getting him adapted to coaching, especially one in particular. “I have my coach, the guy who coached me in high school, Frank Surdy, who was at Scranton Prep for 15 years and went to Western Wayne and had two successful programs there,” Zuby said. “He’s taken me under his wing.” Zuby hopes that he is able to pass along what he learned under Surdy’s tutelage to a new generation of Riverside track athletes, who are coming to the team from a wide variety of backgrounds. “Some of girls came from the cross country team, some were cheerleaders, some come from basketball,” Zuby said. “There are a lot of walks of life here, so they’re juggling a lot of these things at the same time, which makes it difficult, because they’re trying to do two things.” While allowing the girls to fill their schedules with multiple activities, Zuby is hoping that they will continue to make track a priority. Compared to how few athletes participated in the sport when Zuby was an athlete, he understands the longer the participants list is, the greater chance he’ll be able to get the program where he wants it to be.

wannahistory@gmail.com. Tax Help: State Rep. Marty Flynn, DLackawanna, said his office has applications available for the state’s popular Property Tax/ Rent Rebate Program. “Eligible residents can claim rebates on property taxes or rent paid in 2014, and the deadline is June 30, 2015, so I recommend my constituents get a head start on filing their claims,” Flynn said. “If help is needed, don’t hesitate to come to my office for free assistance.” Flynn’s office is located at 409 N. Main Ave. in Jay’s Commons, Scranton; the phone number is 570-342-4348. This program benefits Pennsylvania residents 65 or older, widows and widowers 50 or older, and disabled people 18 or older. The filer’s income must not exceed $35,000 a year for homeowners or $15,000 a year for renters, and half of Social Security income is excluded. Applications can also be filed online at www.revenue.pa.gov or by calling (888) 2229190. Rebates will be distributed beginning July 1. Additionally, changes to the program last year, which Flynn supported, now allow rebate claims to be filed by spouses, personal representatives or estates on behalf of deceased claimants who meet all qualifying criteria and lived at least one day in 2014, rather than the entire year. Another change excludes Social Security cost-of-living adjustments from being considered, in case the COLA pushes an applicant out of eligibility. Last year, more than $276 million in property tax and rent rebates were sent to more than 578,000 homeowners and renters throughout Pennsylvania.
