You say tomato, they say come and get ’em. The West Scranton Hyde Park Neighborhood Watch and the Hyde Park Community Garden are hosting a weekly farmers’ arket in Allen Park, which kicked off Sept. 4. Neighborhood Watch President Karin Foster said the inaugural night attracted "a lot of positive feedback and a lot of pedestrian traffic," including from people who were surprised to see vendors’ tables bedecked with colorful fruits and vegetables. Allen Park, at Main Avenue and Price Street, will host the market from 4 p.m. to dusk on Tuesdays through September and October. The market was created in coperation with the merchants who participate with the South Side Farmers’ Market held at the Historic Furnaces. Foster said all merchants is from local farms and businesses and all items for sale are produced or grown in Northeast Pennsylvania. This Tuesday should bring out an additional six to eight vendors, she added. "We hope just to give folks an opportunity to get farm-fresh vegetables," Foster said.

EXCITEMENT, EMOTION

as Old Forge heads back to class

ROGER DUPUIS II rdupuis@golackawanna.com

LD FORGE — Hannah Sumerano was ready for the first day of kindergarten. • Book bag? Check. • Supplies? Check. • Two parents on hand for this bittersweet moment? Double check. • “This is a big deal for us,” Christen Sumerano said as she and husband Michael waited with their daughter and other families in the lobby of Old Forge Elementary on Thursday morning, Sept. 6. • “She’s excited,” Mrs. Sumerano said.

Hannah Sumerano, age 5 1/2, is all smiles as she prepares to start kindergarten at Old Forge Elementary on Thursday, Sept. 6.

Indeed, the color and sounds and constant motion of the first day of school already were running at full tilt as the kindergartners and their families waited their turn shortly before 9 a.m. For Hannah -- already showing her school spirit with blue and gold hair ribbons -- there was an additional new challenge: answering questions for a newspaper reporter. After a few hesitant nods, the

routine came naturally. “Five and a half,” Hannah declared confidently when asked her age. And although this was her first day, she already expected to see some friends in her new class, quickly rattling off a few names. “I think she’s more excited than we are,” her mom added. That excitement was shared by Principal Nicole See CLASS, Page 5

Old Forge studio embraces firehouse past

GO LACKAWANNA/DON MCGLYNN

Tom Borthwick’s current studio is located in Old Forge.

MIXING OLD WITH NEW DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@golackawanna.com

uring his youth, Old Forge native Tom Borthwick said the sound of the siren that sat on top of the former Lawrenceville Hose Company acted as a personal alarm for him and his friends, reminding them every night when it was time to get home.

“Every night, that was the signal for everyone to go home. That’s what I remember, 9 o’clock at night that would go off, and it’s loud,” said Borthwick. After purchasing the firehouse for the new home of his business, SI Studios, four years ago, Borthwick learned the siren had been removed from the building’s roof, following the closing of the hose company and the building briefly being turned into a

day care. He saw that the siren was sitting in his neighbor’s backyard and decided it was time to bring it back home. “I said, ‘What are you doing with that siren?’ And he said, ‘You want it? Take it,’” said Borthwick. He did just that, and the siren is now on See STUDIO, Page 6

Taylor woman faces murder charges in crash Two borough residents are killed

ROGER DUPUIS II rdupuis@golackawanna.com

Drunk, high and, by her own admission, “flying like a bat out of hell.” That’s how a police affidavit describes the conduct of a Taylor woman facing murder charges in a July 21 crash that left two other borough residents dead after she collided with their Ford Focus at nearly 96 miles per hour. And, police allege, Sherry Hubert, 45, admitted she had driven up Oak Street at a high rate of speed that afternoon trying to “jump the hills” and “do belly floppers” at the request of three juvenile passengers. Kim Smith, 48, was pronounced dead at the scene. Lydia Riley, 58,

died of her injuries July 27 at Geisinger Community Medical Center. Hubert, of 143 Village Drive, was arraigned Saturday on 24 counts, including two counts each of third-degree murder and homicide by vehicle while driving under the influence. She was committed to Lackawanna County Prison, where she remained late last week in lieu of $50,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is set for Tuesday, Sept. 10. According to the affidavit filed by Taylor Police, Hubert’s driving privileges were suspended at the time of the accident due to a previous DUI-related offense. Police said tests after the crash showed Hubert’s blood-alcohol content to

be 0.208 percent, as well as detecting evidence of marijuana in her system. The 1997 Chevrolet Lumina driven by Hubert was traveling about 96 miles per hour in a 25 mile-anhour zone on Oak Street prior to striking the Focus at Oak and Third streets, a state police reconstruction determined. Taylor Patrolman John Harrison said he “detected a strong odor” of an alcoholic beverage on Hubert’s breath “as well as her having slurred speech and glossy eyes” when he questioned her at the scene. “Officer Harrison asked Hubert if she had been drinking and was she drunk,” the affidavit states, “to which Hubert replied that yes,

she had been drinking and she was drunk.” On further questioning, Hubert allegedly told police that she had stopped to buy alcohol on the way home from a trip to Wal-Mart and had consumed one can of malt beverage Four Loko before resuming the trip home. “She stated that she had driven up Oak Street at a high rate of speed in order to ‘jump the hills’ on Oak Street as the kids had asked her to do,” the affidavit states. She turned around at the Turkey Hill convenience store “and proceeded going east back down Oak Street at a high rate of speed, which she described as ‘flying like a bat out of hell.’” Police said the juveniles were interviewed at the Children’s Advocacy Center after the crash, where they said that Hubert almost crashed into a vehicle in

front of her while traveling west up Oak, then turned around at the Turkey Hill to attempt the game headed eastbound at a speed “which frightened all three of them.” The juveniles told investigators they spotted the Ford Focus traveling east in front of them and tried to warn Hubert, “to which she ignored their warnings and responded that she (had) everything under control,” the affidavit states. When she came over the final hill, Hubert said, the Focus was in the middle of the road. She told police she swerved, but could not avoid a collision. “Hubert then stated that following the collision, she went over to the Ford Focus and knew that the driver was dead,” according to the affidavit.

Before that, she spent 11 years teaching second grade at Abington Heights. “Caleb,” she exclaimed, holding her hands low for a double high-five as one boy approached to greet her. “What’s up?” Effortlessly gliding through a sea of students and families, VanLuvender seemed very much in her element. “This is what it’s all about, just seeing their faces,” she said while waiting for more kindergartners and their parents to arrive. “It’s the kids. School isn’t school without them.” This year, VanLuvender will preside over a student body of 492, including 73 incoming kindergartners, as well as a staff of about 50 people. A mother of three, VanLuvender has a first-grader – Aiden, 6, among those students, with two more coming up behind: Avery, now a preschooler, and toddler Olivia. The principal smiled a knowing smile and extended an arm around the shoulders of an incoming mother with obviously damp eyes. “Are those tears I see?” VanLuvender asked. “There’s no crying today,” she added in an encouraging tone. Indeed, learning the ropes - from where to park to where to enter the building to finding the right classroom - seemed enough to keep many students and their parents focused in the midst of such a momentous

day. “It takes about a week for them to get the routine,” said school security monitor Robert Dougher as he stood at one of the doors welcoming families. Crossing these portals for the first time was still a moment for emotion and ceremony. In a sign of the times, parents stood by snapping photos, many with cell phones, before teachers called their new charges to order. A few minutes later it was time for the kindergartners to report to their new classrooms. “Okay, find your cubbies,” instructor Ka-

tie Toraldo announced to her group, pointing the kindergartners toward storage spaces bearing their names. “And then you’re going to find your seats,” she added. “And then we’re going to color.” It didn’t take the students very long to settle in to the serious business of drawing and coloring. Toraldo, starting her third year, greeted parents and went over key matters like making sure their children don’t forget to come back wearing the little green name tags bearing their bus numbers. “I just love it,” Toraldo said during a brief break in the action. “I’m so excited.”

display behind his studio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just thought, from a nostalgic standpoint, the fire company, the siren. It seems to make sense,â&#x20AC;? said Borthwick. In some ways, the blending of the past, the siren and the future, the recording studio, is a nice way to represent what SI Studios does, which offers musicians the latest technology, alongside equipment from yesterday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have the Pro Tools HD system, which is state of the art. We also support the two-inch analog,â&#x20AC;? said Borthwick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people still like the sound of analog, so a portion of our business is people who want to record old school with the vintage equipment, and another portion is looking to get all the tricks and gimmicks with the new digital stuff, so we try to cover all the bases.â&#x20AC;? The philosophy seems to be working. Currently celebrating their 30th year in business, staff members at SI Studios, who have recorded artists and groups like George Wesley and Dakota, are finding themselves as busy as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever been, helping musicians in various stages of production make their product better. Earning a reputation after three decades in the business, the studioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued success is credited to word of mouth by Borthwick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We mastered an album for a guy in New York City named Jeff Slate,â&#x20AC;? said Borthwick offering an example. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jeff Slateâ&#x20AC;Śis connected pretty well. A band from Italy is talking to him and they said,

Tom Borthwick stands with the siren that sat on top of the former Lawrenceville Hose Company, which is now the home of his business SI Studios.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just not getting the sound we want,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to send your stuff to this guy in Old Forge, SI Studios, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll mix and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll like it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? The Italian band, Sir Frankie Crisp, a George Harrison tribute band, sent its files to SI Studios, where Borthwick said they were mixed and mastered to the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of studios may find it difficult to stay in business because everybody has a little setup at home,â&#x20AC;? said Borthwick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re finding the opposite. People who have a setup at home need a place to take their stuff to the next lev-

el, and they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to have all the stuff that we have, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting a lot of business that way.â&#x20AC;? Working with a band in another country, like Sir Frankie Crisp, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a rare occurrence for SI Studios, which regularly pulls in business from all over world. As a result, the experience has exposed Borthwick, a graduate of Wilkes University with a B.S. in music; his chief engineer, Joe Wegleski, a graduate of New York University with a B.M. in music technology; and engineer Chris Condel, a graduate of Bloomsburg University with a B.A. in audio and video recording, to many

different styles and ideas that they are able to pass on to musicians who record in their studio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like being an active participant in the recording process,â&#x20AC;? said Borthwick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives me a chance to use the skills Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve obtained over the years to help people advance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to be careful, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to step on somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creativity, but 99 percent of the time people are thankful if you say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;That note really doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work; you should make it this noteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and then theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh, yeah, that sounds better.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It makes the whole product better, and we want, if it comes out of

here, to be as successful as possible so that they come back or they become successful with their dream.â&#x20AC;? And with the business three blocks from the home Borthwick grew up in, for the last four years the possibility has been even greater that he could have a helping hand in fostering the dreams of a musician from his hometown, where the business originated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My first studio was up three blocks from here in my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house in the basement in 1982,â&#x20AC;? said Borthwick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then I realized thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only so far I could go in a basement.â&#x20AC;? After coming to that realization, he moved the business, then called Sound Investment Studio, to Giannetta Music in downtown Scranton where he stayed for 24 years until the building was sold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to move, and I was driving to take my mother to the doctors and I saw the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;for saleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sign on the firehouse and I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This may actually work out well,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Borthwick. With Borthwick acting quickly, SI Studios was up and running at its new location on South Main Street in Old Forge in six weeks, where Borthwick is hoping it will remain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to be in my home town,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I graduated with the mayor (Michele Avvisato) â&#x20AC;Śwhen I went to the planning commission to say I want to change the use of the building, because it was designated as a day care center, to a recording studioâ&#x20AC;Śit was like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh, nice, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have one of those in town.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see us moving again.â&#x20AC;?

Scranton supports CTC as Riverside students head south

By MIKE VERBICKAS and ROGER DUPUIS II

CRANTON -- The Scranton School District stands behind the Career Technology Center of Lackawanna County with respect to possible legal action against Riverside School District’s move to pull out of the consortium, officials reaffirmed last week.

“Riverside’s decision will cause irreparable harm to the Career Technology Center of Lackawanna County and its students,” board member Nathan Barrett said during a Sept. 4 meeting at which the board voted unanimously to contribute toward CTC’s $18.1 million renovation project. The board also voted to participate in a countersuit against Riverside if one is filed, which Superintendent Bill King told Go Lack-

awanna he expects will happen. “They just decided to pull the plug and leave the consortium, yet they passed the 2012-13 CTC budget, which includes the renovation project,” Mr. King said of Riverside’s Aug. 21 lawsuit. “They have commitments on other CTC projects: a new roof, a new printing press; they have obligations all over the place.” Riverside Superintendent David Woods declined to comment on any matters related to his district’s suit or the possibility of a countersuit. “I respect Bill King. He’s a good man and a good superintendent,” Woods said. “He’s doing what he has to do for Scranton, just as the other superintendents have to do what they think is right and just for their districts and their students.” CTC is a consortium of nine area districts. In addition to Riverside, its members are Carbondale, Dunmore, Forest City, Lakeland, Mid Valley, North Pocono, Scranton and Valley View.

Riverside filed suit in August to cut ties with CTC, seeking a judgment that it has the right to pull out under terms of the 1968 agreement that state the pact ends “when there are no capital expenditures outstanding.” At the heart of the case, however, were concerns about the CTC project cost, with Riverside’s suit contending that district “does not agree with the majority of the participating (CTC) members … that it is appropriate to incur debt of $18.1 million in order to reconstruct or rehabilitate the building housing the center.” Riverside’s board previously voted against the project and against a related bond issue, and Woods has said on several occasions that his district cannot afford a price tag of $109,000 each year for the next 20 years as a result. In response, his district made arrangements to send its career technology students to the Wilkes-Barre Area Career and Technical Center in Plains Twp. – a move that also will save River-

side more than $36,000 in the first year alone due to reduced tuition and transportation costs, Woods has said. With Riverside out, Scranton and the other Lackawanna CTC districts will have to pay more for the building project than they planned. In Scranton’s case, that could push the district’s cost to as much as $397,000 per year for much of the project’s life. What Woods was able to confirm is that Riverside students began attending classes at WilkesBarre CTC on Sept. 4, as planned, while some students were still attending Lackawanna CTC, also as anticipated. He did not have the exact numbers immediately at hand. Initial estimates suggest that as many as 40 tech students could switch to the Luzerne County facility. “I think overall things went well,” Woods said of the new arrangement, other than working out some transportation glitches – not uncommon at the beginning of every year, he said.

Scranton board cancels Thanksgiving ‘Bell Game’

By TOM ROBINSON and MIKE VERBICKAS For Go Lackawanna

he Scranton School Board has cancelled plans for a Thanksgiving football game between Scranton and West Scrantonas enthusiasm for a second meeting in the same season was waning and threats that some players would boycott the game were building.

Board of Education members were unanimous in their decision in a Sept. 4 vote. Athletics and Stadiums Committee Chairman Bill Fox acknowledged “legitimate concerns from principals, athletic directors, coaches, athletes and parents,” in the decision to cancel the game. Fox said part of the resolution to suspend the game includes a measure to investigate shifting the first and only meeting between the schools to Thanksgiving Day beginning in the 2014 season. Scranton Superintendent William King said the school board’s decision to cancel the second game included scheduling concerns if one or both teams made the playoffs and player safety in a game that isn’t that important to the overall season schedule. “With the football season ending Nov. 2, the school board decided that it was in the best interest of student athletes to cancel the Thanksgiving Day Bell Game,” King said. The board decided last year to renew the Thanksgiving tradition by pitting its two schools against each other that day at Memorial Stadium. Logistical issues did not all go as hoped, however, and the Lackawanna Football Conference schedule required the teams to meet Oct. 5 for their Division 1 game. “One of the biggest issues was the fact that they were going to be playing twice in the season,” first-year West Scranton athletic director Rick Bresser said. “Coaches were against it for a lot of reasons, but I think the idea of playing twice was paramount in their reasoning.” George Roskos led the drive to bring Thanksgiving football back to the district in his only year as West Scranton athletic director. He

stepped down to become baseball coach at the school, removing one of the contest’s biggest proponents. Once the schedule was set, concerns grew about player interest in a game 20 days after the end of the regular season. It was feared that players from a losing team that missed the playoffs might not want to practice through that long break or that a team in the playoffs would have less interest in an exhibition game, even with the school district’s traditional bell at stake for the winner. “A lot of the idea was that this would be The Game,” Bresser said. “The Bell Game is usually a weeklong thing and it probably would not be if we were playing twice.” Complaints from parents and players confirmed that the game was losing interest. Some parents informed coaches that they would not let their sons participate in a Thanksgiving game. Some players expressed the desire to move on to the start of their winter sports season if the football team is otherwise done before Thanksgiving. “Neither coach was enthused about playing the game because a lot of kids and parents were not enthused,” Bresser said. “There were concerns that it would turn into a JV game with a lot of the kids, who would normally be out there, not playing.” Prior to the implementation of state playoffs, West Scranton played Dunmore and Central played Tech each year on Thanksgiving. The former Central and Tech schools are now part of Scranton High. Bresser said the idea of the game is not completely dead. The board decided to cancel plans for this two-year schedule cycle, but as Fox also noted, the issue will be revisited next fall for the 2014-15 seasons. Bresser and Scranton Athletic Director Ted Anderson are expected to survey coaches, athletes and parents next year at this time to see if there is interest in the game for the next twoyear cycle. The response will be presented to the board, which would request the LFC allow the teams to play on Thanksgiving only if there is interest in the holiday game.

ALLAS TWP. – Before the introduction of “The U.S. Bishops’ Pastoral Letter: Economic Justice for All After 25 Years,” the Catholic Church had failed to fully link justice with social concerns such as poverty, unemployment, cultural diversity and challenges to traditional family structure, Diocese of Scranton Bishop Joseph C. Bambera told a symposium audience at Misericordia University on Sept. 6. Bambera was keynote speaker for the symposium, which addressed the intent and context of the original document. Joseph Curran, Ph.D., associate professor and chair

of the Department of Religious Studies at the university, told the audience the church now has a better understanding of how faith can motivate believers to create positive change. Curran said the church is a powerful voice for the poor, unemployed and exploited. He spoke of how his own ministry had been influenced by the pastoral letter he had read many years ago as an undergraduate. Misericordia President Michael MacDowell said that, despite economic events that could not have been projected 25 years ago when the letter was written, the document is still relevant and valuable today. Sister Mary Fellin, RSM,

said she was especially interested in the presentation because of her own work with the poor and homeless. She emphasized that all human life had value and should not be marginalized. The symposium included a panel discussion, which included Curran, Margarita Rose, Ph.D., professor and chair of the Department of Economics at King’s College, and Timothy Kearney, Ph.D., assistant professor and chair of the Department of Business at Misericordia University. The event concluded with panel members fielding questions in regard to issues affecting Catholics and the church.

Friends come to Nearhood’s aid ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

SCRANTON — The campaign for State House candidate Ray Nearhood has issued its first statement since the Scranton Republican was involved in an Aug. 13 accident in Lackawanna County. While attempting to avoid a stopped vehicle on the Casey Highway near Carbondale, Nearhood was involved in a very serious car accident. Another vehicle was also involved, with serious injuries sustained by the passengers. Nearhood’s injuries are extensive. Because of this, his family initially asked that both his campaign committee and the Republican Party of Lackawanna County withhold any comment on his condition or his campaign until his physicians could better assess his situation. Nearhood is still undergoing treatment and has a very difficult road ahead of him, the emailed release stated. He is, however, improving. Because of this, his family, friends and supporters have decided to continue his campaign for State Representative. Kenn Anderson Sr., chairman of the Friends of Ray Nearhood committee, issued the following statement: “Ray’s campaign started in the most challenging way possible – as a writein candidate – where he beat the odds and secured the nomination. He did this for two reasons: first, because he knew that he could use his experience and education to help fix the problems plaguing Harrisburg; and second, because he wanted the voters of his district to have a choice in the November election. Ray’s advocacy for smaller, less intrusive government and

his experience working with troubled governments to solve their financial problems is well known. It is that philosophy and that experience that Harrisburg needs right now. “Because Ray is so passionate about helping this district and because we believe Ray is truly needed in Harrisburg, his family, friends and supporters have met and decided to continue his campaign for him while he recovers. As a long-time friend of Ray’s, I can honestly say that Ray would never quit on a friend. We, the Friends of Ray Nearhood, will not quit on him.” Lance Stange, chairman of the Republican Party of Lackawanna County, issued the following statement: “Before this unfortunate accident, Ray worked his campaign daily. Rain or shine, you could hardly find a day that Ray wasn’t out pounding the pavement talking to voters. His dedication to this race was incredible. Now that his injuries make it impossible for him to meet the physical demands of his campaign, his supporters have agreed to pick up where Ray left off. It won’t be Ray knocking on your door; it will be one of his dedicated friends and supporters talking to you about why Ray is the best candidate for State Representative. Ray’s friends have come together for his campaign in a way I have never seen before. It is truly a testament to the kind of man Ray Nearhood is.” Nearhood is the GOP challenger to 112th District Representative Kevin Haggerty. The seat is currently held by Rep. Ken Smith, who was defeated in the party primary by Haggerty.

What: “Laughter with a Purpose: A Celebration of the Life of Michael Meoni” Where: AFA Gallery, 514 Lackawanna Ave., Scranton, Secod floor When: Saturday, Sept. 15, 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. Cost: $20; $1 raffle tickets or six for $5 and 13 for $10 Info/Advance Tickets: Call 570.604.1874, email patrick.martin19@yahoo.com, www.facebook.com/ events/407578972635425/

oosic resident Michael Meoni may have lost his year-and-a-half battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia on Aug. 29, but just weeks after his passing, those who knew him, and many who didn’t, will celebrate his memory. Patrick Martin of Scranton met Meoni, a geometry teacher at Lakeland Junior/Senior High School, about a year ago through mutual friends and his sister Kimberly, who donated stem cells in hope of curing Meoni’s disease. Martin had never before met anyone so young with cancer but was struck by how much Meoni cared for others’ problems outside of his own. Meoni was only 27 when he passed away and was married not even a year. “It sounds cliche, but he was a very caring person. He was a fighter, and he was strong,” Martin recalled. “He liked to teach. He was good with kids. Even though he would have problems, he was willing to listen to you and talk to you about something that happened at work. It wasn’t always about him. He was always friendly and outgoing. I’ve known other people like that, but in that situation, I couldn’t imagine I would be the same way, to tell you the truth.” When he found out what Kimberly was doing for her brother, Martin felt compelled to help out in any way he could, so he quickly began organizing a benefit to help the Meoni family pay for medical bills. “I’m one of these people who cannot stand by and let things happen around me like that. There’s no way to fix it, so this is the second best thing to me,” he emphasized. Martin immediately recruited his six-member improvisational comedy group Here We Are In Spain to participate and before he knew it, he had an eclectic line-up consisting of juggler and magician Michael Si-

mon, Brendan Regan on acoustic guitar, fellow comedy troupe Unorganized Business Ensemble and indie rock band A Fire With Friends. Local businesses, such as Pizza by Pappas, Canada Dry-Royal Crown, Fratellis Pizza and Pasta House, Steve & Irene’s Hoagies, Comics On the Green, Embassy Vinyl and Penn Foster all donated free food, fliers, gift cards and baskets for $1 raffles. “Everyone was on board almost instantly. It really made me believe that people care,” Martin beamed. “Everybody was so willing to do it. I was so blown away by it.” His hope is that the variety of acts scheduled for Sept. 15 at the AFA Gallery, 514 Lackawanna Ave., Scranton, will attract the largest amount of people possible. “That’s why we’re doing two shows, an 8 p.m. and a 10 p.m. If juggling and magic are not your thing, then maybe music is your thing. If music is not your thing, maybe comedy is. My goal is to get about 100

people per show and tickets have been selling well already,” he explained. “Every group brings something Meoni different to it, which is nice. Just knowing the acts, if you decide to go to both shows, you’re going to see two completely different shows.” The funnyman is also looking forward to his group’s part of the evening. “If you like shows like “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” that’s basically what we do. We go to the audience for a suggestion, and based on your suggestion we create a scene. I want to ask all the people who are coming out to bring suggestions. Bring your goofiest and silliest things; throw them at us. We like things that we don’t normally get,” he noted. “I love entertaining. I love being on stage…I also like not having to memorize any scripts. It’s like homework.” The most important part of the night, however, is supporting a cause that has touched many throughout the Northeastern Pennsylvania community. “One, it’s a great cause, so you’re not going to lose money, so to speak. Two, it’s great entertainment. Three, there’s going to be free food at intermission at both shows. You can’t pass that up!” he enthused. “It’s not only been a good experience getting to know Mike and his family, but putting this together has been a great experience…I’m really excited about the show and I can’t wait to see what happens.”

The annual 9/11 commemoration in McDade Park will begin a new tradition next week, honoring local military personnel killed in the war on terror. Tuesday’s commemoration will see the names of Staff Sgt. George Pugliese and Sgt. Eric Slebodnik added to a plaque. “We’re going to do that every year until we have all the local folks,” said Charles Spano, chairman of the September 11 Memorial Committee of Lackawanna County. The two Carbondale area men were among five Pennsylvania Army National Guardsmen who died in Iraq on Sept. 28, 2005 when their vehicle was struck by an improvised explosive device. In addition to Pugliese, 39, and Slebodnik, 21, also killed were Spc.

Actors Circle opens with supernatural comedy

Casey Thomas, left, Brink Powell, and Norine Maier star in ‘Bell, Book and Candle,’ a magical romantic comedy with a dash of witchcraft.

Love and magic RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com

n love, everyone may wish they could use a little magic to make things go their way, but relationships are never that easy, even for witches. Actors Circle is opening its 31st season at the Providence Playhouse, 1256 Providence Rd., Scranton, with the supernatural romantic comedy, “Bell, Book and Candle,” by John Van Druten.

It follows free-spirited Gillian Holroyd, unlucky in love, restless in life and a witch. The love of her life, Shep Henderson, becomes engaged to her college rival, so she uses all her magic to stop the impending wedding but learns that love is the strongest spell of all. It’s a story that charmed Clarks Summit director David Hunisch when he first read the play, later suggesting it to Actors Circle. “I had come across it one day at the library. It’s sort of set during the period, especially in Broadway history, that I really like. It was written in the late ‘40s and it pre-

miered on Broadway in 1950. That’s sort of the Golden Age of Broadway theater. I really like that period,” Hunisch said. “It’s an elegant, funny comedy, and it brings in some different supernatural elements as well, which gives it a bit of an edge.” The 32-year-old seasoned actor made his directorial debut at the Providence Playhouse with the opening show of its 30th season, “The Ladies of the Camellias” and will bring that knowledge to his second time in the director’s chair.

Back to school shopping is probably complete by now, and you will notice the Halloween and Christmas decorations starting to fill display windows. But did you know that Fall is one of the best times to bargain shop? If you are a serious bargain shopper, you either have two strategies to shopping; browsing the clearance section or shopping one season ahead or behind. If you can’t be bothered by using coupons to save, these are two alternatives to saving money throughout the year. Either way, they both go hand in hand as long as you aren’t paying full price. Back to school time brings tons of post sales since retailers are trying to clear the shelves for candy and costumes. This is the time to buy back-to-school supplies very cheap and think outside the pencil box when it comes to stockpiling these deals. Crayons can be found for as low as a penny during September. There are a number of ways to use crayons throughout the year. With all the great deals on art supplies, stock up on deals and create an art studio for your kids. This will come in handy during rainy days or just when you feel the need to create something awesome. Purchase a clear plastic tote that can be easily stored anywhere in the house. It can be the mobile art studio. Stock up on crayons, markers, glue, glitter and notebooks and have the kids name the art studio. With the prices so low on many of these items, you can create an art studio to give as a gift. One of my favorite ideas for crayons is to wrap four of them in a ribbon and give as party favors or at Halloween as an alternative to candy. There are a ton of printable coloring pages that can also be wrapped in ribbon or just purchase a large coloring

DEAL DETECTIVE book at the dollar store. Taking advantage of these September sales can save you over 90 percent on supplies that will last the entire year. September and October are the perfect time to buy cheap bathing suits and shorts. This is one to plan ahead for by buying a size or two bigger than you would buy right now. Kohl’s has summer toys and clothing marked down almost 90 percent. In the past, I have gotten shirts and shorts for as little as $1.50. If you are a clearance shopper, then you definitely want to stop by Kohl’s. Through Sept. 11, shop Kohls.com for 99 cent shipping per item and an extra 20 percent off using coupon code JUST4U. Get a $14.99 Hello Kitty Sprinkler shipped to your door for under $6. September also brings some huge discounts on foods for back to school. This is the time to stock the pantry with juice boxes, boxed pasta mixes, canned goods and zip lock bags. Think of items that will have a long shelf life in the pantry and try to stock up when the price is down. Some other sale items include breakfast foods, peanut butter, jelly, bread sales and a lot of new products. CVS and Rite Aid have a huge clearance sale right now on summer and outdoor items up to 75 percent off. Some items include outdoor grills, pool toys, charcoal, flip flops and garden decor. A few weeks back, I was able to get outdoor candles for under $1, regular price $9.99. Next time you’re looking to buy ahead, make sure you check the clearance section and for online deals, check bucktownbargains.com. Really, who doesn’t love a bargain?

The Pennsylvania Anthracite Heritage Museum and Iron Furnaces Associates received a $5,500 grant for the Fall Heritage Event Series to be held at the Scranton Iron Furnaces. The series, to be held in September and October, will feature five events that will educate the community about the history of the Iron Furnaces and the cultures of the people in the Lackawanna Valley. The Rail-Trail Council of North-

eastern Pennsylvania, which manages the northern component of the Lackawanna River Heritage Trail system, was awarded a $3,700 grant to purchase and install an entrance gate for the Delaware and Hudson (D&H) Rail-Trail in Fell Township. The gate will allow pedestrians and bicyclists to use the trail and it will restrict access for trucks, cars and ATVs. The gate has a U-bar that is removable in the winter to allow access for snowmobiles. Three organizations received $1,000 sponsorship grants from LHV, including the Jewish Discovery Center-Chabad of the Abingtons, Inc. for the “Jewish Food Festival”; the Scranton Jazz Festival for its week-

end jazz event that was held in early August; and the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor for the Eastern Pennsylvania Greenways and Trail Summit scheduled for October. The Lackawanna Heritage Valley National and State Heritage Area (LHV) provides grant funding to partner organizations for projects to promote historic preservation, cultural conservation, community trails, environmental education, interpretive programming, placebased education, and community and economic development.

LOVE Continued from page 12

This undated photo of the Silkman House is believed to be from the early 1900s. Tracks in the foreground would have carried streetcars past the house, which was built nearly 50 years before Scranton’s first electric trolleys ran in 1886.

Library’s Silkman House has long history

“I work in a really old building.” When we hear that phrase, we usually don’t envy the person who said it. While the advantages of a newly-constructed building are many and obvious, there is something to be said for working in a building that was built in 1840 and situated near the base of a lonely road that took travelers through Leggett’s Gap. It was a time when wolf packs still roamed “the Notch” and Interstate 81 would have seemed a mad dream. The building in question is the Silkman House in North Scranton. Many long-time Scranton residents think of it as the Providence Branch of the Scranton Public Library which it was from 1939 to 2006, but it has a long history that predates is use as a library branch – and which continues today. In 1838, Aaron Burr Silkman (1815-1895) moved to this area from New York State. Silkman, who was in the lumber business, constructed the Silkman House in 1840 using wood from trees on the property. He lived there until the death of his wife in 1847. In July 1849, he transferred the property to his cousin William Silkman (18071874) in return for $2,000 and a parcel in what is now Scran-

ton’s Hill Section. A handwritten deed recording this complex transaction can be viewed in the Lackawanna Valley Digital Archives (http:// www.lackawannadigitalarchives.org). There is still an antique Smooth Top stove in the basement dating from an era when people cooked in their cellars. The panes of glass may have flaws and bubbles, but these flaws are a spur to the imagination, where the body shop next door becomes a long-gone house with a friendly neighbor waving through their own flawed window pane. You can

still find, throughout the building, random objects like a luggage tag likely hand-written in the late 19th century and a small bottle whose contents, long-vanished, was the “malt” in some child’s malted milk. William and his descendants lived in the Silkman House until 1938 when the property and building were given to the Scranton Public Library. It operated as a branch library until 2006 when demographic and population changes precipitated its closure. However, it was not yet time for the library and this historic house to part ways. In 2010, the

library installed a new heating and air conditioning system using funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and, thanks to a grant from the Lackawanna Heritage Valley Authority, had the exterior repainted. While it is no longer a public branch, it is home to the library’s technical services cepartment, an operation that catalogs and processes new books and DVDs for all seven libraries in the Lackawanna County Library System. The second floor is occupied by the Lackawanna River Corridor Association while the area of the grounds bordering East Market Street contains the Kosciuska Healing Garden, a tranquil place to take a break on a summer afternoon. We find ourselves with a poetic irony: an operation that deals with apps and the Internet and cutting edge technology is run from a building that was already two decades old when the Civil War started. The Silkman House is located at 2006 North Main Ave. in Scranton. While it is no longer open to the public as a library branch, visitors are welcome between 8 a.m.and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

“The two shows are actually very different, but I think in terms of being a director, it’s different from acting in the sense that you’re not just coming to the experience with what your character needs and just your relation to the rest of the actors on stage. You really have to have your eyes open all the time to the whole production. You have to notice very little, minute details as well as working with the actors,” Hunisch explained. “I think the challenge is just trying to keep it from getting too hokey. You always want to try to keep it as real as possible…I try to get them to always come back to, ‘What is the character’s initial motivation? Why are they here? What do they want?’ I think if you really focus on that and then bring in a lot of energy and try to keep the connection between the actors, I think what ends up coming out on stage is natural and believable and serves the text well.” Inspired by the original Broadway production, which starred Rex Harrison, Hunisch admitted that he is not a fan of the movie starring James Stewart and Kim Novak, but he also wanted to choose a play that people may recognize from the 1958 film adaptation. “Especially in this area, I think a lot of people like to see things that they’re somewhat familiar with, but at the same time, I think the play is a little different than the movie, so there will be some surprises for them as well,” he noted. “(The movie) expands the story to other locales and brings in other characters that aren’t in the play, and I think the movie lacks a bit of the intimacy that the show has.” Hunisch feels the humor and mystical elements, mixed with a “poignant love story” are what make “Bell, Book and Candle,” which runs from Sept. 20-30, a “very satisfying show.” “I think the show does have a little bit of everything in it. I think we have a very strong cast of local actors, and I think it’s an enjoyable show, too,” he said. “We have a nice physical production as well. I think we have a nice set and nice costumes and things like that.”

ean Martin has left the building. Or at least the Dean Martin tribute act has gone from Scranton’s Courthouse Square, along with the tents, the crowds and the porketta sandwiches. Labor Day has come and gone, and with it, another installment of La Festa Italiana in downtown Scranton has passed into the history books. The three-day event wrapped up on Sept. 3, with hungry visitors roaming the stands even on a rainy final night. For those who couldn’t quite get enough, take heart: La Festa Italiana 2013 will be held Aug. 31, Sept. 1 and 2, according to http://lafestaitaliana.org.

‘Topping Out’

‘Extremely Close’

Riverside teacher presents sculptures at Keystone

Anhedral Glide’ is one several of sculptures by artist Denis Yanashot on display at Keystone College, La Plume, through Oct. 19.

Best of Show artwork

The Linder Gallery at Keystone College will present an exhibition of sculpture by Scranton artist Denis Yanashot from Sept. 16 through Oct. 19 on the Keystone campus in La Plume. The exhibit, “Terra Firma and the Spirit of Flight,” will feature a reception for the artist from 4 to 6 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 16 in the Gallery. Yanashot, a graduate of Keystone and an art teacher at Riverside High School, is known throughout the region for his elegant carved marble sculptures of flow-

ers and plant forms. This exhibit features many of these works, in addition to more recent sculptures made of assembled bones and other found objects relating to the experience of flight. This exhibition is the result of Yanashot’s participation in the 2012 NEPA Regional Art exhibit, for which he received the Best of Show award and a One-Person Exhibit award at Keystone College. “Denis’ work is known for its elegance and beauty, but I think many viewers will be immensely surprised and challenged

by his more recent sculptures,” said Drake Gómez, director of the Linder Gallery. “The theme of flight has enticed many artists, but Denis has firsthand experience through his years of hang gliding, so there’s an authenticity to his work.” Yanashot will give a presentation on his artwork at 9:45 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 17 in the Fireplace Lounge of Hibbard Campus Center.

Dranchak leads Riverside to victory Scranton rolls AROUND THE LFC

over Pittston Area, 43-0 From staff reports

By TOM ROBINSON/ For GO Lackawanna

AYLOR – Nick Dranchak lofted a third-and-15 pass over the Carbondale defense for his fourth touchdown pass, a game-winning 44-yarder to Nico Munley with 48.7 seconds left in Friday night’s football game. Dranchak’s work was not done yet.

The senior made a game-saving stop at the 2 with no time on the clock to preserve Riverside’s 32-28 home-field victory. “He’s one of the toughest kids I’ve ever had the opportunity to coach,” Riverside coach Evan Prall said. “I love the kid for his toughness.” Dranchak carried a heavy workload. He led the Vikings with 85 rushing yards on 17 carries while hitting 11 of 23 passes for 178 yards. He was second on the team in tackles, broke up a pass and punted three times. “I was a little banged up, but I had to keep pushing through,” Dranchak said. The same could be said for

the Chargers who attacked the Vikings between the tackles late in the game while putting together an upset attempt. Sam Demianovich ran for two of his three touchdowns in the fourth quarter to lead Carbondale back from a 25-14 deficit. Carbondale’s go-ahead score came from Demianovich just one play after he was forced out of the game because he was vomiting on the field. The Chargers kept pressing even after Dranchak and Munley put the Vikings on top. Joe Gigliotti hit three passes, including two to convert third downs, moving the Chargers to the Vikings’ 18 with three-tenths of a second re-

maining. A pass interference call on Riverside gave Carbondale one last untimed down from the 9. Mark Donaghey provided the pass rush, forcing Gigliotti to back-pedal deep into the backfield before throwing to Lukas Durkin, who was wrapped up by Dranchak at the 2. “Mark came off the edge and made him throw off his back foot,” Prall said. Carbondale, which won just three games in the previous two seasons, has 21 of 22 starters back and battled last year’s District 2 Class A finalists until the clock ran out. See RIVERSIDE, Page 25

BY THE NUMBERS Riverside had a 17-14 advantage in first downs and a 296-185 lead in total yardage despite being charged for minus-31 team yards on the bad punt snap and losing an additional 32 yards in sacks. Dave Sweetman carried 13 times for 56 yards and caught two passes for 13 yards for the Vikings. Demianovich carried 19 times for 95 yards to help Carbondale to a 128-118 lead in rushing yards. Gigliotti finished 7-for-14 for 57 yards but was intercepted twice. Munley (75 yards) and Loftus (45) each caught three passes for the Vikings. Riverside was penalized 13 times for 84 yards. Loftus also had seven tackles, including one for a loss, and three assists. Carbondale defensive lineman Joe Sosa had two sacks and a fumble recovery. He finished with four tackles and two assists. Remington Hedden had seven tackles for the Chargers.

SCRANTON – Scranton posted its second straight 43-0 romp over a Wyoming Valley Conference team, making Pittston Area its latest victim Friday night at Memorial Stadium. Karlon Quiller took the second-half kickoff 84 yards for his second touchdown to send the game into the Mercy Rule. Jake McCarthy carried 16 times for 131 yards and two more touchdowns for the nights. Dunmore is also unscored upon through two games after shutting out defending District 2 Class AA champion GAR, 29-0, by forcing seven turnovers. Austin Seamon ran for 200 yards and two touchdowns, caught a touchdown pass and made an interception for the Bucks. Rob Castellani’s 40-yard touchdown run lifted Valley View over Lakeland, 19-14. Quarterback Griff DiBileo returned from a knee injury that knocked him out of the opener to lead Scranton Prep past Western Wayne, 53-22. Lackawanna Trail rushed for 371 yards while pounding Hanover Area, 51-12, while playing the entire second half under the Mercy Rule. North Pocono rushed for 303 yards but was stopped on a two-point attempt with 1:04 remaining as Crestwood held on for a 21-20 victory. Nick O’Brien ran for 129 yards and two touchdowns while also passing for a score when Wyoming Area defeated Mid Valley, 28-12. Cody Schmitz caught a 56-yard touchdown pass from O’Brien and returned a punt 76 yards for a score. Matt Tanner passed for both Mid Valley scores. Bryan Schor went 13-for-20 for 240 yards and three first-half touchdowns while Lucas Markowitz caught six passes for 123 yards and the first two scores when Delaware Valley handled Wyoming Valley West, 35-14. Susquehanna used a safety midway through the second quarter to get John Salinkas his first coaching victory in a 16-14 win at Northwest. Dustin Jones had 145 of Lake-Lehman’s 353 rushing yards in a 49-0 rout of Montrose. Wallenpaupack defeated Honesdale, 2914.

Tunkhannock defeated, 38-6, by W. Scranton

JOHN MEDEIROS For Go Lackawanna

TUNKHANNOCK – A battle early in the third quarter was a blowout by the end of the period. West Scranton scored three touchdowns in a span of 5:20 in the third quarter to roll to a 38-6 victory over Tunkhannock Friday night. Marquis Brownlee ran for scores of 23 and 3 yards, capping a 166-yard, threetouchdown night. BY THE Demitris GarNUMBERS cia added a 69yard scoring run West Scranton had sandwiched bestatistical advantages tween Brownlee’s of 19-11 in first downs, runs. He also had 365-164 in rushing a 50-yard jaunt in yards, 102-10 in passing yards and 467-174 the fourth quarter to set up West in total offense. Scranton’s final The Invaders averaged 9.8 yards per score. He finished play. with 146 yards on McCloe finished eight carries. 5-for-12 for 102 yards West Scranton passing. had 268 yards rushing in the second half on 18 carries. Tunkhannock received the opening kickoff of the second half and went 61 yards to score, making it 14-6 early in the third quarter. The Tigers picked up their only third-down conversion of the half during the drive and used Josh Robinson five times on the possession, including the third down and the scoring play. Robinson ran around the left side, then cut back and found a seam for a 9-yard touchdown with 8:26 left in the third quarter. The Invaders scored on their first possession, marching 61 yards on seven plays to open the game. Quarterback Jordan McCloe connected with tight end Lou DiBileo for a 35-yard gain on a deep seam route. Big plays continued as Garcia had an 11yard run, followed by Brownlee’s 15-yard carry ahead of his 4-yard scoring run. West Scranton made it 14-0 on a 65-yard drive midway through the second quarter. DiBileo had another big catch (an 11yard out) and Brownlee had another big run, but it was Tyaire Quiller coming in as a change of pace and scampering 25 yards that extended the West Scranton lead. Tunkhannock could not capitalize on a fumble recovery by Robinson or an interception by Colton Coolbaugh. The Tigers had five of their first six possessions go into Invaders territory. McCloe hit DiBileo with a 10-yard touchdown pass for the final score with 8:42 left. West Scranton faces Dunmore Friday night, playing its home opener in a meeting of 2-0 teams.

OLD FORGE’S DEVILS

big 2nd quarter sinks Meyers

MATTHEW SHUTT For Go Lackawanna

ILKES-BARRE – After a slow first quarter, Old Forge rode a 29-point second quarter blitzkrieg to a big halftime lead and eventual 42-7 defeat of Meyers at Wilkes-Barre Memorial Stadium Friday night in a non-conference showdown. Blue Devils running back Brian Tomasetti punched in two short scoring runs that complemented senior quarterback Brenden Wahl’s deep scoring passes of 73, 50 and 39 yards to build a 35-0 halftime lead. Tomasetti had the catch on the 50-yard touchdown pass to assure Old Forge (2-0) would play the entire second half under the Mercy Rule against Mercy (1-1).

“We started slowly last week and we wanted to come out this week and take whatever opened up for us,” Old Forge head coach Mike Schuback said. “Brenden worked really hard this week with his receivers and the guys up front gave him the time he needed. “I told him before the season that it’s his time now and that he’s been overdue for a big game.” Wahl finished his night midway through the third quarter after a one-play strike to Michael Vieira. He went 8-for-9 for 258 yards and four touchdowns without a turnover. The finesse Wahl showed to hit Vieira perfectly in stride for a 68yard touchdown probably would have been his best play of the night, if not for one worthy of the highlight

reel in the second quarter. On third-and-five at midfield, Wahl scrambled to his right and met a wall of Mohawks before deftly reversing direction, taking a look up the field and then alertly stepping back from the line of scrimmage for a simple flip to a wide open Tomasetti. The senior running back rode a crushing block 25 yards downfield for a 21-0 lead. “Once I saw that the play started to break, I just tried to move around enough to keep some things going and fortunately for us, my teammates saw and did the same,” Wahl said. “I didn’t lose any faith in them out there on that play and it turned out to be a big one for us.” See DEVILS, Page 25

DEVILS Continued from page 24

Before a Tomasetti run ended the second-quarter outburst, Wahl added another score, this time rolling to his left and placing the ball right on the fingertips of Jake Manetti. While Meyers still played with a decided intensity in the second half, the last two quarters went much like the first – Old Forge’s large and athletic front four bringing pressure, pressure and more pressure. Speedster Parrish Bennet, who

erupted last week for 284 yards, was held to 44 yards on 20 carries. Quarterback Teaguen Labatch, who had a career game in the season opener, was hounded into two interceptions. “Old Forge came out with a good scheme. They were mixing up their fronts and had some players switching positions at the last second and, with a young offensive line, some of my guys hadn’t seen that in a game yet,” Meyers head coach Corey Hanson said. Meyers got on the scoreboard late after a 9-yard scramble from Labatch. Anthony Piccolini caught Wahl’s 73-yard touchdown pass for a 6-0 lead after one quarter.

BY THE NUMBERS Old Forge outgained Meyers, 180-89, on the ground; 258-59, through the air; and 438-148 overall. Tomasetti carried 16 times for 114 yards and two touchdowns, caught the 50-yard scoring pass and made an interception. Shane Schuback had the other Old Forge interception. Brandon Yescavage was the team’s second-leading rusher with 42 yards on four carries. The Blue Devils have outscored their first two opponents by a total of 92-20. They play their home opener Friday against Holy Redeemer.

“I’m so proud of our kids,” Carbondale coach Larry Gabriel III said. “For us to have 47 seconds left and get down to the goal line says a lot.” Riverside was penalized 13 times for 84 yards. Carbondale took over on the Riverside 4 after a wild punt snap and scored on a 3-yard Demianovich run just 1:33 into the game. The Chargers took over in Vikings territory after kickoffs four times with the help of a 38yard average by Ricky Jones on his three returns. Carbondale converted a 50yard return by Jones into a 5yard Brandon Sales touchdown with 2:47 left in the half for a 14-

14 tie. Dranchak had passed 23 yards to Jim Tucker in the first quarter and 15 yards to Munley in the second quarter for a 14-7 lead. He put the Vikings back on top, 22-14, at halftime by passing 15 yards to Mike Loftus for a touchdown then running for the twopoint conversion. Munley, who caught two touchdown passes while making his third and fourth interceptions of the year, picked off a pass in the end zone to keep Riverside ahead going to the locker room. Mat Lucas hit his third field goal of the season, from 29 yards, to make it 25-14 after three quarters. Dranchak went 3-for-5 for 76 yards passing in the winning drive. Riverside (1-1) returns to action at North Pocono (0-2) Friday night.

Obstacles challenge OF boys soccer team TOM ROBINSON For Go Lackawanna

The Old Forge Blue Devils face multiple obstacles as they attempt to grow their boys soccer program under first-year coach Chet Lenceski. There is only one school with a smaller enrollment – Wyoming Valley Conference member MMI Prep – among the 39 in District 2 of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association sponsoring the sport. The small enrollment carries over into different challenges for the school in its fifth season of sponsoring the sport. “It’s tough as a small school,” Lenceski said. “We don’t have specific-sport athletes. Our athletes are athletes. Half our team is on the golf team; they’re baseball players; they’re soccer players. It’s not like these other schools where kids play soccer all year long.” Unlike some of the top programs in the Lackawanna League, Old Forge does not have a single player on its roster devoting year-round time to travel soccer. “It’s a little difficult for us,” Lenceski said, “but with hard practice and dedication, we should be at the same level as those other teams.” In two tournament games and a non-league contest, Old Forge scored first every time only to be overwhelmed with defensive breakdowns after taking the early lead. Lenceski is concentrating on building his players up in multiple areas: the conditioning needed to handle the running in soccer, the confidence to handle game situa-

tions they have not faced as often as opponents and the overall game knowledge to react more instinctively. The Blue Devils do return six experienced senior players to fill more than half the starting lineup. David Chromey is in goal, Nicholas Killino is a defender, Matt Mancuso and Tyler Cavalari are midfielders and Jared Heckman and Bob Cipollina are forwards. Junior midfielder Christian Mozeleski and sweeper Robert Donovan are among the top underclassmen on the 19-player, co-ed roster, which features five female players because Old Forge does not have a girls team. Old Forge went 3-11 to finish seventh of eight teams in Division 3 before the Lackawanna League realigned. The new, 12-team Division 3 figures to be even more difficult with three championship squads from a year ago. Mountain View, the defending District 2 Class A champion, drops down after finishing second to powerful Abington Heights in Division 1. Holy Cross was the undefeated Division 2 champion last season. Forest City went 13-1 and won the Division 3 title. The Division 3 schedule opens Monday. The complete Old Forge league schedule: Sept. 10, ELK LAKE; Sept. 12, at Blue Ridge; Sept. 14, RIVERSIDE; Sept. 17 at Forest City; Sept. 24, LAKELAND; Sept. 26, CARBONDALE; Oct. 2 at Mid Valley; Oct. 4 at Holy Cross; Oct. 9, MONTROSE; Oct. 11, DUNMORE; Oct. 16 at Mountain View.

HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS NOTEBOOK

SLEDZINSKI snags seven saves for West TOM ROBINSON For Go Lackawanna

organ Sledzinski made seven saves Tuesday night when West Scranton opened its Lackawanna League Division 1 girls soccer season by playing to a scoreless tie with Scranton in the rain at Scranton Memorial Stadium. “It was a miserable night,” West Scranton coach Jim Cook said. “It was raining off and on pretty much throughout the whole game.”

West Scranton dropped to 01-1 in league play later in the week with a 5-0 loss at Valley View. In the opener, the Lady Invad-

ers were playing their third game in four days after taking third place in the Second Annual Jamie Kotula Kickoff Classic with Sunday’s victory over Dunmore. The Holy Cross boys were first out of six teams, including West Scranton, and Wallenpaupack girls won the four-team girls division in the Kotula Tournament. Kotula, a junior who was a member of the Holy Cross soccer team, died in an automobile accident in January 2011. CROSS COUNTRY The Riverside boys split their four meets in the opening cluster of the Lackawanna League cross country season Wednesday at Lackawanna Trail. Riverside outscored Mountain View and Susquehanna while falling to Lackawanna Trail and Lakeland. The Lady Vikes lost to the on-

ly two full girls teams at the meet – Susquehanna and Lackawanna Trail. Nick Strenkoski and Cassie Semyon led the way for Riverside when it opened the season Sept. 1 at the Cliff Robbins Invitational in Dallas. Strenkoski was 80th out of 237 runners, finishing the 3.1mile course in 20:17 while Riverside was last among 23 teams. Semyon was 42nd out of 198 girls runners in 23:08. The Lady Vikes were 17th of 18 teams. Both West Scranton teams opened the league season with a pair of losses. They fell to Holy Cross and Scranton Prep, two of the league’s top programs. GOLF Old Forge is sixth out of 13 teams in Lackawanna Division 2 with a 4-3 record. Scranton Prep, with a strong Moosic influence in its lineup, is alone in first in Division 1 at 4-0.

Ryan Collins assumes reins at Riverside By TOM ROBINSON For Go Lackawanna

Ryan Collins takes over as the new head coach at Riverside, which returns just four starters after finishing in last place in the bottom division of Lackawanna League boys’ soccer last season. The Vikings were 1-12-1 last season when the division had eight teams. They remain in Division 3, which has 12 teams following realignment. Collins, a former West Scranton player and current West Scranton resident, was the Riverside junior high coach the last two seasons.

Most of Riverside’s experience comes on defense where returning starters will fill three of four spots. Seniors Joey Belveduto and Eric Vanhof return, along with junior Charlie Koytek. Junior Mat Lucas, who also kicks for the football team and had two field goals in the opener, returns at midfield. “We’re very young,” Collins said, “but they’re out there to give it their all.” Sophomore midfielders Caleb Jones, Michael Spinelli and Lacee Collins are among the top newcomers to the starting lineup.

Collins and Katie Klingler give Riverside two girls in the likely starting lineup. Klingler is a junior defender. Although the Vikings compete in the boys league, they have a co-ed team with 11 female players on the roster of 25. The Riverside league schedule is: Sept. 10, BLUE RIDGE; Sept. 12 at Carbondale; Sept. 14 at Old Forge; Sept. 17 at Elk Lake; Sept. 24, HOLY CROSS; Sept. 26, MID VALLEY; Oct. 2 at Lakeland; Oct. 4 at Dunmore; Oct. 9, FOREST CITY; Oct. 11, MOUNTAIN VIEW; Oct. 16 at Montrose.

Area natives make mark in NFL TOM ROBINSON OPINION

Mike Munchak goes into his second season as a National Football League head coach with more knowledge than he had in his first season. That knowledge extends even to his team. A year ago, Munchak made his debut as the Tennessee Titans head coach without the benefit of a normal offseason because the NFL lockout robbed what was then the league’s newest coach of valuable preparation time. “Probably the biggest difference between last year and this year is we know our team much better,” Munchak said during his Monday press conference. “That doesn’t relate to how we work them, but I think as far as our combinations on both sides, offense and defense. “ … Our approach is the same, but I think we understand our players much better to start this season than we did last year.” The Scranton native lost his opener last year when the Titans fell in Jacksonville, 16-14. Tennessee came back to win its next three games and finished 9-7, missing the playoffs on a tiebreaker. Munchak is part of the usual strong Lackawanna County influence in the NFL. Old Forge’s Ray Rychleski was let go as special teams coach of the Indianapolis Colts in January, but Munchak, Vic Fangio, Joe Marciano, Tom Kanavy and John McNulty remain on NFL coaching staffs. Munchak, the Scranton Central graduate who is an NFL Hall of Famer for his play at guard, has stayed with the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans organization since being drafted out

of Penn State in 1982. The Titans open at home today against the New England Patriots. “I think we’re excited,” Munchak said. “There’s no reason not to be.” There is plenty of excitement surrounding the San Francisco 49ers, who are considered a strong Super Bowl contender with the help of the defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, a former Dunmore player. The 49ers are in one of the top matchups of the first weekend, playing at Green Bay today at 4:25 p.m. in a game between defending NFC division champions. Green Bay had a leaguebest 15-1 record last season when San Francisco was one of three teams to finish second best at 13-3. A large reason for that success was the defensive work under

Fangio in his return to an NFL defensive coordinator job after spending the previous season at Stanford. San Francisco led the NFL in rushing defense and led the NFC in total defense as Fangio’s team established itself physically. Marciano, one of the franchise’s original coaches, is entering his 11th season with the Houston Texans, the defending champion in the AFC South. The Dunmore native is in his 26th season as an NFL special teams coordinator. The Texans set team records in several special teams statistical categories last season. Houston is home with Miami today at 1 p.m. Valley View graduate Tom Kanavy is trying to prepare the Minnesota Vikings for a turnaround after a 3-13 season. Kanavy is in his seven season as Min-

nesota strength and conditioning coach and his 18th season overall as an NFL coach. The Vikings are home with Jacksonville today at 1 p.m. Abington Heights and Penn State graduate John McNulty moves from receivers coach to quarterbacks coach in his fourth season as an assistant on the Arizona Cardinals staff. He spent six earlier seasons in the NFL with Jacksonville and Dallas. The Cardinals are home today at 4:25 p.m. against Seattle. In addition to the five graduates of Lackawanna County high schools coaching in the league, there are other connections to active rosters. Bryant McKinnie and Donald Jones, a pair of former Lackawanna College players, will open their seasons today. McKinnie, a 6-foot-8, 354-

pounder who went from Lackawanna to the University of Miami, is able to begin his 11th season in the NFL after restructuring his contract with the Baltimore Ravens. McKinnie is expected to start at left tackle when the Ravens open Monday night at 7 against Cincinnati. Jones, who has 41 receptions in 23 games over the past two seasons, is a wide receiver with Buffalo. The Bills are at the New York Jets today at 1 p.m. When the NFL opened Wednesday, Chris Snee, a graduate of current Lackawanna Football Conference member school Montrose, was in his usual spot as starting offensive guard for the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants. Snee began his ninth season by making his 123rd regularseason NFL start in a 24-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
