After two weeks of non-stop business, it’s clear that the 24year-old couple made the right choice.

ith a few weeks left of summer, Nicholas and Michael Gowarty have found just enough time in the season to put together a lemonade stand. Nicholas is hoping the business venture will bring in a conservative $500,000.

While the goal may seem a little high, most members of the community will be rooting the boys on to meet it, when they host the stand in front of their home at 356 N. Everett Ave., Scranton, on Sunday, August19, from1 to 4 p.m., after they hear what the money will be used for.

Nicholas, 8, and Michael, 11, will be donating all of the proceeds from the lemonade stand to the Hope for Hannah Rescue. The non-kill rescue rescues and places dogs in homes; supports the housing and medical care of foster dogs; sponsors dogs in need of veterinary care; and educates the pub-

“We want to raise money for the rescue, because they need food blankets, and supplies and medicine,” said Michael.

Nicholas and Michael became aware

of the rescue after adopting their dog, Cabela, from there eight months ago.

The Gowartys had been discussing adopting a dog for a while, and Heidi Gowarty, the boys’ mother, said her sons were interested in rescuing a dog.

“They just wanted to basically give a dog a good home,” said Heidi.

After making the decision, Nicholas and Heidi came upon Hope for Hannah’s website, where they found Cabela.

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

est Scranton resident Cindy Collins Kearney may have passed on, but through the annual Cindy Collins Kearney Memorial Breakfast, scheduled for Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 3, her family and friends have found a way to keep her spirit and wishes alive.

Kearney passed away on June 5, 2005, after a five-year battle with ovarian cancer. During her battle, she went through two major operations.

“Her friend, Barb King, called her prior to the (second) major operation and said, ‘Cindy, I just can’t believe this is happening to you. I don’t know why this is happening to you. This is just not fair,’ and Cindy said, ‘Maybe it’s

happening to me so you don’t have to go through this,’ or anyone else,” said Kearney’s sister, Carolyn Collins Gratz.

Kearney knew that her struggle could act as a warning to others about the importance of being educated and aware of the early warning signs of ovarian cancer.

Gratz explained that her and Kearney’s mother, Jean Collins, is a breast cancer survivor, and as a result, the two were always diligent about looking for possible signs for that, but both were unaware there was a connection between breast and ovarian cancer.

Kearney began feeling ill in the late 1990s but wasn’t diagnosed until 2000, by that time the cancer was in stage 3.

“It’s a disease that whispers. They call it the silent killer because it whispers, but also there are early warning

signs,” said Gratz.

Some of the symptoms of ovarian cancer include a feeling of being bloated; vague abdominal and pelvic discomfort; gastrointestinal symptoms such as gas, nausea, indigestion, constipation or diarrhea; back pain and fatigue; frequent and urgent urination; and menstrual disorders or pain dur-

ing intercourse.

“If it is caught early, in the initial operation she (Kearney) was in stage 3, (but) if it’s caught early, in stage 1, it is highly treatable,” said Gratz.

To create an awareness of the disease, in an effort to try and prevent others from having to go through what she went through, Kearney never hid the fact that she was battling ovarian cancer and requested that her obituary state she had passed from ovarian cancer.

Following her passing in June of 2005, a small group of family and friends gathered together in September of that year to celebrate Kearney’s life.

“Cindy was really big into…if anyone See BREAKFAST , Page 6

passed away that was important to us, like our grandmother, she would say, ‘Let’s all get together on their birthday and celebrate her,’� said Gratz.

During the gathering, the subject of carrying on Kearney’s wish to educate and create awareness of the disease was brought up, with a small group deciding they would fulfill Kearney’s wish.

The group came up with the idea of holding a memorial breakfast the following year on what would have been Kearney’s 50th birthday, Sept. 4, 2006, which happened to fall on Labor Day. The first breakfast, held at the Inn at Nicholas Village, was so well attended the guests had to be split up into two rooms. Realizing they needed a larger venue, the breakfast’s planning committee moved the event to the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel’s Grand Ballroom, where the event has taken place ever since.

For the $30 admission fee, guests are treated to a breakfast of French toast, eggs, bacon and a complimentary mimosa, for those 21 or older.

A basket raffle is also held, which Gratz said has become one of the event’s main draws, featuring prizes that include a weekend stay at a New York City hotel, golf packages, gift certificates to restaurants and more. “We miss Cindy and we love her so much‌and we want to celebrate her, and this is such a fun way to see people win these great items and support something that is so very dear to our hearts,â€? said Gratz.

Sunday, August 12, 2012 In a time when many businesses have scaled back with donations, Gratz and Collins said they have been lucky in finding people eager to donate to their event each year. “Every year it gets better. It’s just amazing in this economy that we are able to do what we do, I think,� said Collins.

Even if you don’t win anything, Gratz and Collins said there’s still a lot going on at the breakfast to make the morning worth attending, including a live performance from musician Christopher Gratz.

All of the proceeds benefit ovarian cancer research and awareness through the Gilda Radner Familial Ovarian Cancer Registry, which Kearney became a member of in 2002.

To date, the breakfast has raised more than $73,000 to benefit ovarian cancer research and awareness.

In 2011, the Cindy Collins Kearney Memorial Breakfast committee put together a cookbook as another means to fulfill Kearney’s wishes. Through the sale of the cookbooks, the group was able to raise an additional $5,000, for a total of over $78,000 in donations made in Kearney’s name.

The group is looking to add to that total as much as they can this year.

Those interested in attending the breakfast are encouraged to make a reservation by Monday, Aug. 20.

Moosic man lightning victim

Brian Zimmerman, 41, dies after storm at raceway ANDREW M. SEDER For Go Lackawanna

Authorities on Aug. 6 identified Brian Zimmerman, 41, of Moosic, as the fan killed by an apparent lightning strike at Pocono Raceway the previous evening.

Nine others were injured just after a heavy thunderstorm system caused officials to call the Pennsylvania 400 early. Authorities are not disclosing their identities.

Monroe County Coroner Robert M. Allen said it appeared, based on witness accounts, that the death was caused by the lightning strike.

Crews worked on resuscitating Zimmerman en route from the raceway in Long Pond to Pocono Medical Center in East Stroudsburg, but Allen said he arrived at the emergency room dead on arrival.

The victim was near his car in a parking lot after the race had ended when lightning struck the car, Allen said. Bystanders performed CPR on Zimmerman, who had gone into cardiac arrest, until paramedics arrived, Allen said.

They took him to the track’s medical facility, where efforts to revive him failed. The strike occurred at about 5:01p.m., the track confirmed.

Nine others hurt Officials at Pocono Raceway reported Thursday that nine people who injured have all been released.

Track spokesman Bob Pleban said four of those injured were transported to Pocono Medical Center. Two had minor injuries, one had moderate injuries and the

fourth, Zimmerman, had critical injuries and eventually died.

An emotional track President Brandon Igdalsky, who also expressed his condolences for the victims, made the announcement of the fatality at about 7:45 p.m.

Sunday “Unfortunately, a member of our raceway family here, a fan, has passed away,� he said.

On Monday, Igdalsky issued a statement that noted: “The safety of all guests to Pocono Raceway is of the utmost importance to our entire staff. This tragic event is at the forefront of all of our thoughts and prayers. We will learn from the incident and continue to implement strategies to help ensure the safety of fans and all attendees at future events at Pocono Raceway.�

In addition, he said the track has

established a memorial fund for victims of this incident.

Review under way NASCAR spokesman Dave Higdon told The Associated Press that officials are reviewing how the track carried out its emergency procedures. He cautioned against rushing to judgment until all the facts are known. “Anytime something like this happens, we make sure we look at it again and see if there’s anything we should have done different,�

Higdon said. “It’s never a good day for us when someone passes and people are hurt.�

Track officials are going through log books to establish a timeline for the storm, weather warnings and final laps of the shortened race, Igdalsky said.

Moosic denies request from white rights group DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@golackawanna.com

Moosic Borough Council has put the brakes on a white people’s rights group celebration that was scheduled to take place in an area park this past weekend.

The European American Action Coalition’s third annual European American Heritage Celebration was scheduled to take place on Saturday, August 11 at Mercatili-Segilia Park in Moosic.

According to Borough Administrator Jane Sterling, Steve Smith, director of the local chapter of the European American Action Coalition, booked the park for the event, claiming he was a resident of Moosic, but council later discovered he lived in Pittston.

“The policy of the park is to reserve it to Moosic Borough residents only, he gave a Moosic address,” said Sterling.

“The policy is you have to be a

resident of Moosic, and you know what? No one’s ever lied.

Thirteen years this park was on the honor system, and for 13 years we never had a problem.

That park’s a beautiful family fun park, and that’s the way council wants to keep it.”

Smith said the park was being booked using a friend’s address, a Moosic resident, whose identity Smith declined to reveal.

“We held the picnic there the last two years. I don’t know what the big deal is this year,” said Smith.

Smith said he believes the real reason why the celebration was cancelled was because of his political beliefs .

According to the European American Action Coalition’s website, www.whiteadvocate.com, Merlin Miller was scheduled to make an appearance at the celebration.

Miller is a pro-white filmmaker, U.S. Army veteran and a presidential candidate for the American Third Position Party.

THE SCRANTON PLAN HOSTS DAY OF GOLF

Moosic Borough Council President Joseph Mercatili echoed Sterling, saying the actions taken had nothing to do with Smith’s political beliefs, and his request was denied because Smith is not a Moosic resident.

“He’s not a resident that’s the whole gist of it,” said Mercatili.

“There are residents who called for the park for (that day) and we’ve had to turn them away.”

Mercatili went on to say there is now some talk of changing the procedure for booking the park, which he said is a matter council will discuss, but he personally would like to keep the current system in place.

Smith said, because of time constraints, the European American Action Coalition is not looking for a new venue and has decided to cancel the event.

He is currently considering taking legal action against the borough.

The Scranton Plan, the industrial marketing arm of The Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce, held its annual Summer Festival at Glenmaura National Golf Club, Moosic.

The event, co-hosted by PPL Electric Utilities, welcomed more than 50 real estate brokers, consultants and site selection specialists from neighboring states to a day of golf, breakfast and lunch at Glenmaura National Golf Club, followed by dinner and awards at the SLIBCO Business Center.

The goal of the festival is to introduce corporate executives and real estate professionals from neighboring states to the quality of life and business opportunities available in the Greater Scranton area.

that she was very friendly so we adopted her,” said Nicholas.

“We heard the stories that she went through, and it just broke our heart,” added Heidi.

Heidi explained that Cabela’s original owner kept her under a shed, didn’t feed her and physically abused her.

As Nicholas said, when they brought her home she was very shy, but the family has seen a lot of progress in a short amount of time.

“The turnaround’s been amazing,” said Heidi. “We brought her home and she hid in the corner and we literally had to pick her up and put her on all fours to try and get her and walk outside, because she was afraid someone was going to walk out and hurt her, but now she’s comfortable.”

“It’s just the perfect match,” said Suzi Gilbert.

Gilbert is the president and founder of the Hope for Hannah Rescue. While working at another rescue she met Hannah, the bulldog the rescue is named after.

“She had been severely injured and neglected, and it was going to take a whole lot of money to save her life,” said Gilbert.

“I really wanted to do that. It was quite an undertaking, and (it’s) not that the other rescue didn’t want her to be OK, but they really didn’t want to commit that much time and effort to doing it, so I started my own rescue and basically spent every waking moment doing fundraisers for Hannah.”

In addition to Hannah, Gilbert has found a number of dogs that need to be rescued, and enjoys being a part of success stories like the Gowartys’.

“I was so thrilled it worked out so well for them,” said Gilbert. “It just shows what one person can do to help.”

While the Gowartys have already made a difference in one dog’s life, they are aware there are still a lot of dogs like Cabela who need help. They’re hoping their fundraiser can help create more awareness of the rescue.

It’s already created a positive stir in their own neighborhood, with the Scranton Police Department agreeing to block off the street for the event, a DJ is donating his time and service and the Gowartys’ neighbors are donating baked goods to be sold.

In addition to the lemonade, which is on sale for 50 cents a cup, the boys will also be accepting monetary donations as well as supplies for the rescue.

Gilbert said she will also be in attendance on Sunday, with Hannah, to answer any questions anyone may have about the rescue.

The event will be held rain or shine.

what we do – sleep, eat, and think about this food truck.

That’s all we do every day. It’s quite the adventure, and it’s taking off.”

“We’ve been slammed. Every day since we’ve opened, we’ve had lines before we open,” Bevilacqua continued. “I’m running out of food before my scheduled time of closing. It’s a great thing.”

Bevilacqua studied culinary arts at the Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College and was interviewed for an executive chef position in Yardley, Pa., but ultimately, his heart was in more mobile ventures.

“My father owned Whistles, so ever since I was young, I’ve wanted to be in a kitchen…The job was great, but (Katie and I) weren’t really feeling the location. “Katie said, ‘Why don’t you start a food truck?’ We actually thought about it before that, but it was kind of in passing. We played with some names for the truck and we really didn’t get much more than that…Once she said that again, the light switch went on and we decided to move forward with it.”

Rather than take out a loan to invest in a permanent location, they preferred to gamble on their innovative idea and take a few chances with the menu as well.

“I was experimenting with different cuisine. I was building a brand that maybe I couldn’t have done as well if we were brick and mortar. I was really taking a big risk here with the name, the colors, the brand, the idea of a food truck. I’m really playing with the food and the customers are responding to it right now, thank God,” Bevilacqua said.

“I like playing with food.

We’ve already changed the menu a few times. We wanted to do different items and not stick to Italian, Indian, or Asian or something like that. It was another risk to say, ‘You don’t know what you’re going to get, but you’re going to trust us that whatever you’re going to get you’re going

“What the Fork” makes regular stops at DePietro’s Pharmacy, Green Street Beverage and the UPS store in Dunmore.

to love every time.”

The two popular staples on the unique rotating menu are sliders with bacon jam and pulled pork taco with candy sauce, the result of three months of consistent culinary experimentation in their kitchen inspired by the poplar “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives” show on Food Network.

“The sliders with the bacon jam are a huge hit. The candy sauce is a recipe from my grandmother, and Mario and my grandmother are the only people that know the recipe. The rest of family doesn’t know (it), and they were a little upset when they came to the truck and saw candy sauce because nobody has the recipe besides my grandmother,” Graziosi recalled with a laugh.

“She gave it to Mario and said, ‘I promise you this will be a big hit.’ And just like she promised, everybody’s asking about it.”

It isn’t just the distinctive food that has people’s attention, but also the clever marketing. The curious name and loud, lime green vehicle that serves as a

glowing “24-foot billboard” has been turning heads in high-traffic areas like Blakely Street in Dunmore since they started.

“I told Mario that we’re going to cause an accident. When people drive by, they literally stop their car in front of the truck and point, and then they make a big circle and come back around anyway to look at it again. They eventually stop for food,” she observed.

“We wanted people to be able to see it from everywhere even in the darkest of night. That’s why we picked the lime green, and the response to it has been that everybody loves it.”

The truck was already generating buzz on the virtual highway before they opened, running Facebook and Twitter pages before they took to the road .

Facebook fans jumped from 400 to over 1,200 in just a few short weeks, and customers can now find menus and ever-changing locations online at www.whattheforktruck.com.

“I got to answer questions, talk about it, and know some of these people that are now showing up to the truck. I know that they’re not just driving by and coming. They’re driving here from Taylor. They’re driving here from Waverly. They’re coming from all over the place. Even if we’re off the beaten path, our customers are still coming to

find us,” Bevilacqua pointed out.

“I had a good feeling that we were on the right track and we’d do OK, but as to this extent, I couldn’t have anticipated that.

Katie goes out and opens the awning and there’re already people in line. Everybody’s mingling with each other. It’s an exciting atmosphere.”

With successful stops at DePietro’s Pharmacy, Green Street Beverage, and the UPS store in Bevilacqua’s hometown of Dunmore, the co-founders plan to park all over Lackawanna County and possibly add more trucks in the future.

“I knew from the beginning that it was going to be very successful. I never doubted it; I just didn’t think it was going to be as successful as it’s been. It’s beyond our wildest dreams to think that this is real,” Graziosi acknowledged. “The other day we made over150 crab cakes and we thought that would make it through the day and maybe there would be a couple extras left. We sold out within half of the day.”

“The food truck thing is trending right now. I believe it’s an industry that’s here to stay,” Bevilacqua added. “Live a little. Give it a shot. If you don’t like it or you’re so used to the normal then McDonald’s and Burger King are always going to be there.”

“It was another risk to say, ‘You don’t know what you’re going to get, but you’re going to trust us that whatever you’re going to get you’re going to love every time.’”

— Mario Bevilacqua

For those who lived through it, 1955 seems like a long time ago, and ancient history for those who were not yet born.

How could a flood from 57 years ago have any bearing on our lives today? Anyone who has gotten a pizza or shopped for groceries in or around the South Side Shopping Center is, whether they know it or not, feeling the effects of Hurricane Diane.

Prior to August of 1955, an entire neighborhood, with houses, barber shops, and mom & pop grocery stores, existed in a place now occupied by fast food restaurants and strip malls. Beginning on Thursday, August 8, 1955, Hurricane Diane dropped more than four inches of rain on the region filling both the Lackawanna River and Roaring Brook with raging waters.

The ferocious Roaring Brook knocked out railroad tracks, washed away rail cars, wiped away the area of East Scranton around Richter Avenue, and severely damaged entire sections of lower South Side including the “Flats” section along South Washington Avenue.

The library is developing a new collection for the Lackawanna Valley Digital Archives (LVDA) to tell this story.

The LVDA, still less than a year old, contains hundreds of digital images of historical items mostly from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Since the Hurricane Diane collection will cover a more recent time period, it offers great opportunities for enhancing the historical record.

According to Martina Soden, the library’s assistant head of reference, “People still have memories of this flood and we wanted to capture them and include them in the collection.”

This will be done in two ways. First, the library is recording video and audio interviews with witnesses and victims and making them available in the archives.

In one interview already recorded, Mary Jane Memolo recounts how, as a teenager coming back from a date, Ash Street was flooded and her home was on the other side of what was now a raging channel.

Mariagnes Brown was a young mother who found herself in a second floor apartment without water and with a scarce supply of diapers. In addition to the interviews, the library is also soliciting See VINE, Page 19

or the second year in a row, the fight to end Alzheimer’s disease will be receiving some help from Wise Crackers Comedy Club at The Clarion Hotel, 300 Meadow Ave., Scranton.

A fundraiser for the Alzheimer’s Association “Walk to End Alzheimer’s” will be held on Friday, August 17, at 8 p.m. featuring three comedians: Emily Galati, Brian Scolaro, and Yury. In addition to a basket and 50/50 raffle, Sylvia Kolosinsky, fundraising committee member and community relations coordinator at Oakwood Terrace, a memory care community in Moosic, said that half the proceeds from the evening will benefit the upcoming “Walk to End Alzheimer’s.”

“It’s important especially for us because we have our residents (at Oakwood Terrace) that have some form of memory impairment, but in addition to that, it is, of course, worldwide,” Kolosinsky explained.

“It’s ‘The Walk to End Alzheimer’s’ because that’s our goal. We need to find a cure. Basically, the

monies are used for research…Everyone gets together, both Lackawanna and Luzerne counties.”

The annual walk is the nation’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support, and research, and will be held locally at Sno Mountain,1000 Montage Mountain Rd., Scranton, on Oct. 6.

Last year’s comedy benefit drew about 60 people, Kolosinsky said, but they hope to gather over 100 guests this year so that the event can expand into the hotel ballroom.

“It’s an absolute fantastic evening. I attended last year, and the next day when I got up my jaw was sore from how much we were laughing. We had a really good evening and a fun evening…It’s a See COMEDY , Page 19

Mayhem Festival brings

THE HEAT RICH HOWELLS

rhowells@golackawanna.com

S

CRANTON – It was appropriately scorching hot on Saturday, Aug. 4 when thousands of heavy metal fans ascended Montage Mountain for the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival to see the hellworthy rockers in Slipknot, Slayer, Motorhead, Anthrax, and many more throughout the day and long into the evening.

While many attended for the big-name headliners, West Scranton resident Eugene Lucas came to see As I Lay Dying, who he believes belonged on the main stage.

“I came to see second stage bands. That’s who I care to see.

I grew up being made fun of for wearing saggy pants, studded belts. People at the Mall at Steamtown would say, ‘Pull up your pants!’ But we were doing good things. We didn’t drink.

We watched hardcore music, we listened to hardcore music, and it was good,” Lucas said.

“I think this (festival) is a good avenue for other people to just see it. I’m staying all day, even for bands I don’t necessarily care to see. I’m more into death metal, but I appreciate artistic people and every form of art… Music is art and should be spread. Everyone should come to understand it because that’s understanding everybody else. Once you understand it, you let loose of your stereotypes.”

This year, local acts were also given a chance to shine on the Sumerian Records Stage, located next to the festival’s Jagermeister-sponsored second stage.

Wilkes-Barre-based “grave rock” band The Curse of Sorrow were one of several acts from around the state who were well-received by eager fans.

“It’s (expletive) amazing, but it feels right. It feels like we’re supposed to be doing this right now. The overall excitement – I can’t even explain it, man. It’s

ridiculous. I’m glad we played our first Mayhem show here in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, PA. It’s our hometown. We get to rock out with our homies,” singer Nick Necro said excitedly after their energetic set.

Baltimore, Md. metalcore act I, the Breather were one of the first bands to take the second stage in support of their latest album through Sumerian, “Truth and Purpose.” Despite being surrounded by devilishly theatrical imagery, particularly from co-headliners Slayer, the Christian band had no reservations about joining the tour and having a good time.

“Sharing a tour with maybe one of the most Satanic bands in the genre of metal is kind of intimidating, but at the same time it’s kind of a challenge because you want those metal fans to appreciate it just as much as we appreciate a band like Slayer for who they are. We don’t have anything against a Satanic or a secular band or whatever,” guitarist Chase Kozlowski commented.

“The reactions we’ve been getting are breathtaking. I never would have dreamed of playing in front of like 8,000 people every day. I can’t take it for granted. It’s hard to take in. it really is,” added singer Shawn Spann.

Another Christian metalcore band, The Devil Wears Prada, shared these sentiments while See MAYHEM , Page 18

Another important component of the collection is digitized footage from WDAU-TV. “Anyone who grew up in Scranton from the (19)50s through the early 80s knows WDAU was the ‘Scranton station’ and all of those reels were sitting in the basement of the WBRE building in Wilkes-Barre. We received permission from Nextar Broadcasting to digitize the reels pertaining to Hurricane Diane,” said Scott Thomas, the library’s head of information technologies, These haunting, soundless film clips show the devastation wrought by Diane.

The collection will also contain photos and other items from the library’s own collection and the collections of the Lackawanna Historical Society and the Steamtown National Historic Site.

The library plans to launch the “Story of Hurricane Diane” in the fall. Anyone who would like to be interviewed, or has photos should call 348.3000 ext. 3040 or email lvda@albright.org.

SPORTS BRIEFS Gordon wins rain-shortened race Jeff Gordon captured the rainshortened Pennsylvania 400 Aug. 5 at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond.

Gordon made his move on the Lap 91 restart to pull out his first victory of the season and the 86th of his career. Two of Gordon’s six Pocono victories have come in rain-shortened races.

Penn State Nittany Lions quarterback Matt McGloin is surrounded for interviews during the college football team’s media day in State College.

SEEING IT THROUGH DEREK LAVARSE dlavarse@timesleader.com

STATE COLLEGE — Frustration was only natural. Since November, Penn State players have had to watch their school and their football program take fire from across the country. From around the world.

But for the most part, they understood that part of it. The backlash from the Jerry Sandusky scandal, and the general scorn that accompanied all things Penn State. A fire that was rekindled in July with the release of the Freeh report and the NCAA imposing severe sanctions on the team.

What has been tougher for them to accept, however, is the teammates who have left because of it all.

“Right then and there you had to make a decision,” quarterback Matt McGloin said of July 23, the day the NCAA hammer came down. “You were either going to stick it out, or you were going to bail and be selfish.”

Ten players have left the team

since that date. They’ve had their reasons. Some were unhappy even before hell broke loose in November. Some had family issues.

Others, like tailback Silas Redd, didn’t sugarcoat things. They wanted to play for championships. With the Nittany Lions getting hit with a postseason ban and scholarship reductions, that was impossible to do at Penn State.

Redd called his transfer to USC “a business decision” after his first practice with the Trojans.

And that’s the sort of thing that

isn’t sitting right with some Penn State players, who spoke out on Thursday, August 9 at the team’s media day, some for the first time since that morning of July 23.

Redd and top receiver Justin Brown (Oklahoma) were the two most significant defections along with kicker Anthony Fera (Texas).

“For the most part, a lot of us stayed here,” McGloin said.

“Stayed true to the program.

West’s Dunning leads District 11 to Cup victory Staff Reports For Go Lackawanna

SCRANTON – The pitching of West Scranton’s James Dunning helped District 11 begin and end on top of the Commanders’ Cup American Legion baseball series.

Dunning did not allow an earned run while striking out 11 in a six-hitter Tuesday night, August 7 at BattagliaCawley Field in Scranton when District 11 defeated Wyoming Valley, 4-1, to complete a three games-to-two victory in the best-of-five all-star series.

District 11, the league for Lackawanna County teams, appeared to be headed to an easy victory when the series opened Aug. 2 with Dunning throwing a three-hit shutout in a 13-0 rout.

“That was great pitching from him,” Don Stark, the Wyoming Valley co-manager from Plains, told the Times Leader after Dunning stopped his team for the second time.

Wyoming Valley rallied to force a deciding fifth game as each team won twice by shutouts.

District 11 scored two runs each in the first and sixth inning of Game Five.

Chris Rebar bunted to bring in one run and scored the other in the first inning.

Vikings welcome change

LITTLE LEAGUE

TOM ROBINSON For Go Lackawanna

Carl Pugliese returns for his fourth year as starter to lead the Riverside golf team into the 2012 season.

Shawn Sorochka, another senior, is the only other player with any starting experience for the Vikings, who will be entering their first season under new coach Bob Coyle.

“We lost some guys who wanted to go out for football,” Coyle said.

Coyle, a former junior high basketball coach in the district, met with potential players in the spring before school ended.

“I know some of them played basketball for me,” said Coyle, a health and physical education teacher at Riverside Elementary. “Some I just know from teaching.”

Coyle will learn more about them as golfers beginning Monday, August 13, when practice opens.

Sophomores Sal Defransesco and Adam Leasure could be among the top additions to the lineup. Sophomore Mckenzie Evanusa and freshman Aaron Oustrich are new to the team.

The Vikings will enter competition for the first time Friday, August 17 with the Jackman Memorial Tournament at Scranton Municipal Golf Course.

Riverside went 3-7-1 to finish eighth of 12 teams in the Southern Division last season.

The Lackawanna League has since realigned. The Vikings move to the small school division where they will no longer face seven large school opponents, including Abington Heights, North Pocono and Scranton Prep, the top three teams in the Southern Division last season.

The regular season schedule for the Vikings is: Aug. 22, BLUE RIDGE; Aug. 27 at Dunmore; Aug. 29, FOREST CITY; Sept. 3, CARBONDALE; Sept. 5 at Mid Valley; Sept. 10, OLD FORGE; Sept. 12 at Elk Lake; Sept. 17, LAKELAND; Sept. 24 at Holy Cross; Sept. 26, MONTROSE; Sept. 28 at Mountain View; Oct. 1 at Lackawanna Trail.

rendan Kucharski and R.J. Gouldsbury combined to handle the pitching and each hit a home run Monday night, August 6, to lead Throop to a 10-2 victory over West Scranton in the City-County Little League Tournament final at Old Forge.

The City-County Tournament features the championship team from each league. Gilbride Limousine was the Throop championship team sponsor while West Scranton’s team was sponsored by Shamrock Construction.

Kucharski, the winning pitcher, struck out 10.

Gouldsbury struck out two while working the final 1 2/3 innings.

Anthony Colvin, J.J. Glinsky, Kucharski and Gouldsbury each had two hits. Both of Colvin’s hits were doubles.

After West took advantage of errors to score in the top of the fourth, Colvin doubled in another run.

Glinsky singled in a run and Gouldsbury hit a three-run homer in the fifth.

Colvin finished with four RBIs while Gouldsbury had three RBIs and four runs scored. Kucharski had two runs and two RBIs. Robbie Smith scored both West Scranton runs.

THE WAIT IS ALMOST OVER KEEPING SCORE TOM ROBINSON OLYPHANT – Football, the most anticipated and followed season of the high school sports year, is getting close.

Lackawanna Football Conference coaches held their Media Day Wednesday, August 8 at the Regal Room.

Teams will hit the field early Monday, August 13 for the first official day of practice.

Less than three weeks remain to prepare for Opening Night, but much of the preparation has gone on throughout the year, whether in the weight room, at camps or on the field in passing scrimmages and conditioning workouts.

In two weeks, Go Lackawanna will help prepare for the season with a football preview edition for the third straight year.

Media Day provided a reminder of many of the stories, teams and players who are likely to gather attention this season.

Here is an early hint of what is ahead: As is often the case, defending champions will be dangerous.

Scranton, a co-champion last year in Division 1, is expected to fight Delaware Valley for the title this season. Defending Division 2 and 3 champions Dunmore and Old Forge return as favorites after going unbeaten in their divisions last year.

Valley View, the other cochampion in Division 1, is not expected to go away. The Cougars rank behind only Scranton and Delaware Valley in polling of coaches in their division.

While the defending champions, Delaware Valley, Scranton Prep and Riverside all look strong, there are teams facing problems.

The numbers game could catch up with Wallenpaupack

and Holy Cross.

Wallenpaupack had its third season of at least seven wins in the last four in 2011 but did so with an almost exclusively senior lineup.

The Buckhorns return exactly one full-time starter and one other part-timer. Their defense does not even include players with any significant experience as substitutes.

Holy Cross also had a strong senior class and is preparing to open with a roster of just 22 players.

North Pocono and Montrose will rely on changes after going winless last season.

Greg Dolhon is the new coach at North Pocono after 11 years as an assistant at Dunmore and nine years at Wyoming Area.

Montrose is adding athletes from Elk Lake in a cooperative sponsorship similar to the system in place at Susquehanna, which also includes players from Blue Ridge on its roster.

The Meteors need help. They also failed to win a game in 2010.

Carbondale appears to be in an ideal situation for a breakthrough.

The Chargers drop from Division 2 to Division 3 – swapping places with Mid Valley – and return 21 of 22 starters, many of them for their third season.

Delaware Valley quarterback Bryan Schor, running backs Tyler Phillips from Valley View and Austin Seamon from Dunmore, receivers Ron Tomasetti from Mid Valley and Karlon Quiller from Scranton and Dunmore offensive lineman Mike Boland are among the conference’s top returning players.

Scranton, Dunmore, Western Wayne and Delaware Valley all have strong groups of returning all-stars, but none have as many back as Old Forge and Riverside.

Matt Mancuso, Brian Tomasetti, Tony DeSando, Paul Papi, Mike Vieira, Ryan Paulish, Jordan Sekol and Jake Manetti all gained all-star recognition from www.northeastpafootball.com as underclassmen last year at Old Forge. No other conference team could match the Blue Devils’ total of seven.

Riverside has players back who occupied the most all-star spots with 11.

Nick Dranchak was selected

at three positions, including quarterback, while Dave Sweetman, Michael Loftus, Tyler Armillay and Mark Donaghey were also recognized on both sides of the ball.

Beyond the returning all-stars are three other players who missed most or all of the 2011 LFC season, but could be among the conference’s biggest impact players.

Western Wayne’s Rob Siclari rushed for 290 yards and scored five touchdowns in an Opening Night come-from-behind win over eventual District 2 Class AA finalist Wyoming Area, but had his season end a week later with a severe knee injury.

Siclari will return along with Mid Valley quarterback Matt Tanner, who injured his knee before the first day of practice and missed all of the 2011 season.

Susquehanna played without Cole Mallery, a two-way, all-star as a sophomore, because Mallery spent the 2011 season at Seton Catholic Central in Binghamton, N.Y. There will be many more details to be shared in the weeks ahead. After all, the season is just getting started.

run in the sixth inning.

West Scranton’s Nick Ivanoff had a hit in his only at-bat of the game.

After Game Four was originally rained out, the Wyoming Valley rolled to an 8-0 win Monday to even the series.

Ivanoff came on in relief and struck out two while allowing three runs, two of which were earned, in the final three innings.

District 11 won Game Three, 5-0, Aug. 4 with the help of another threehit game by Schmidt. The South Scranton third baseman also drove in two games.

West Scranton’s Dan Repshis and Dunning each drove in a run.

The see-saw series featured Wyoming Valley bouncing back from its 13-0 loss to win 12-0 the next day.

The series win featured strong contributions from the four West Scranton players.

Dunning, who played for Keystone College’s nationally ranked team this spring, struck out19 with just one walk in his 14 scoreless innings of pitching.

Ivanoff finished 3-for-6 at the plate.

Repshis drove in four runs.

Michael Zaccheo finished 1-for-7 with a run scored.

about what the coaches have done.

Thought about the fans.

“And it couldn’t be better right now, the position that we’re in. We have a chance to do something great for this university and bring this university back to the top.”

Coach Bill O’Brien has been diplomatic about the players who have left, saying that he does not agree with their decisions but still respects them.

O’Brien cautioned that the Lions can’t get too caught up in an usagainst-the-world mentality, particularly off the field.

“Instead of saying it’s us against them, let’s go out and play good football and think about the fact that maybe this is a little bit about more than football. That this is about helping a community. This is about bringing more awareness – much more awareness – to child abuse. This is about making sure that we … be a part of leading this university through the next three or four years,” said O’Brien.

“That will be a challenge, but that’s what life is about.”

SWB Yankees plan their return

TOM ROBINSON For Go Lackawanna

T

he return of baseball to PNC Field in Moosic has been set for April 4, 2013 at 7:05 p.m. when the Scranton/WilkesBarre Yankees host the Pawtucket Red Sox. The Yankees are playing their entire 2012 home schedule at a variety of sites while PNC Field is reconstructed.

When the 2013 season opens, the Yankees will be home for seven straight games. After playing April 4 through 7 against Pawtucket, they face the Rochester Red Wings April 8 through 10.

"We cannot wait to share with our community the reconstructed PNC Field on April 4, 2013,” Yankees president and general manager Rob Crain said in a August 6 press release announcing the schedule. "In only 239 days, SWB baseball fans will finally have baseball back and they will have the opportunity to watch the next Yankee greats in the most fan-friendly venue in all of MiLB." On the day of the announcement, the first steel was erected at the stadium site.

The Yankees followed up the schedule announcement with a release detailing season ticket plans the following day.

Standard start times for the 2013 season will be 6:35 p.m. for Monday through Thursday games and 7:05 for Friday and Saturday games in April and May. From June through August, the start time will be 7:05 for Monday through Saturday.

Fireworks, giveaway dates and theme nights will be announced at a later date.

According to an August 7 announcement, season ticket holders from 2011 can begin renewing season tickets, which will be

made available to the general public beginning Sept. 10.

The Yankees have lowered the price of season tickets 25 percent on nearly 3,000 fixed season tickets, with prices remaining the same on the remainder of lower bowl season tickets.

"I have never seen in my baseball career a club open a new ballpark and lower season ticket prices," Crain said. "Our primary objective is to provide affordable, family fun entertainment and the pricing of our ticket packages accomplishes that goal.”

Season ticket holders from 2011 have the first chance to re-

new their seats in the same or similar locations. The deadline for those ticket holders to renew seats is Aug. 31.

Existing season ticket holders also will have the first option to upgrade their tickets to some of the new seating areas, including Club seating and 4Topps tables.

Interested parties can increase their chances to obtain 2013 season ticket packages at PNC Field by signing up for a wait list prior to the seats going on sale. This can be done at www.swbyankees.com/waitlist.

With the purchase of 2013 full

season tickets, fans will have the option of a five-year agreement that locks the ticket prices in place for the length of the agreement. The team is offering other benefits to season ticket holders.

The 2013 season ticket pricing is: Full season: $1,440 for 4Topps Tables, $1,080 for club, $720 for infield box or themed bar, $576 for field reserved and $504 for bleachers.

A musical savant, he could tell you who played on any album from Sonny Boy Williamson, Rahsaan Roland Kirk to new musicians and up and coming stars.

Music was virtually a part of his pulse and life blood -- it fueled him in remarkable ways and was the central means through which he connected to others and made his life meaningful.

Nik loved the game of baseball and was a huge Chicago Cubs fan. He was very involved in the lives of his children and enjoyed his role as a baseball coach.

In sum, Nik Allen was an extraordinary person. The kind and gentle nature of his spirit will live on in the memories of those who knew and loved him. Even in the briefest of encounters, Nik made an impression as a man of quiet and subtle humor, as highly personable and as someone who lived surrounded and held by a family and large friendship circle who adored him.

In addition to his mother, Nik is survived by his children, Ian Allen of Fort Drum, N.Y.; Linsey Allen of Los Angeles, Calif.; Brooke Allen, of Duryea; his stepson, Nathan Cartwright of Los Angeles Calif.; and stepdaughter, Taylor Trombly of Duryea; brothers, Al, of Nashville Tenn.; Frank, of Fort Myers Fla.; sisters, Carol Geron of Scarsdale, N.Y.; Lynn Nordin of Dals Langed, Sweden; many nieces and nephews.

A Mass of Christian Burial was held on Saturday, April 11 at Queen of The Apostles Church, 715 Hawthorne St. Avoca, with Father Phillip Sladicka officiating. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Brooke Allen Educational Trust Fund, 72 Glenmaura National Blvd., Suite 104, Moosic, PA 18507, c/o Law Office of Cynthia Banks. Online condolences may be made to www.kiesingerfuneralservices.com.
