Animal Planet’s Shorty Rossi and Hercules visit West Scranton

Shorty Rossi, who will be in Scranton on Sept. 29 and 30, began Shorty’s Pit Bull Rescue in 2001.

A man and his dog By DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@golackawanna.com

horty Rossi has loved pit bulls ever since he was a teenager, and it’s his hope that after next weekend most of the Scranton area will share this love. The star of Animal Planet’s “Pit Boss” and the founder of Shorty’s Pit Bull Rescue, Rossi will be making several personal appearances at the Mall at Steamtown, Puppy Love Pet Spa, Poppy’s Diner and Brews Brothers on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 29 and 30.

The television star is coming to the area, accompanied by one of his seven pit bulls, Hercules, as a part of the “Shorty and Hercules Tour” in an effort to educate people on the true, loyal nature of pit bulls, and to promote his book “Four Feet Tall and Rising,” which was released in January. “It’s a memoir from the day I was born until last year. So, it’s a history of my life,” said Rossi. “I went through a rough childhood, ran with the wrong crowd, went to prison, got out of prison, struggled in life and I’m here today. And, we try to

tell people it’s a memoir, it’s about redemption, it’s about how the animals kept me going. It’s about (how) no matter what happens in your life it ain’t ever going to be that bad. You can come out on top. It shows kids you can make it, shows inmates that when you come out of prison, if you use your head right, you can make it, and it’s for people to understand me better who like the show.” Rossi was arrested and sent to prison for attempted murder.

Watch discusses drugs, status as a non-profit

Gang-member interventionist shares insight

By ROGER DuPUIS II rdupuis@golackawanna.com

SCRANTON -- The war on drugs can’t be won without significant emphasis on anti-drug education and greater commitment to drug treatment programs, Scranton Police acting Chief Carl Graziano told members of the West Scranton Hyde Park Neighborhood Watch. Graziano attended the group’s Thursday, Sept. 20 meeting to answer residents’ questions, many of which focused on fighting the drug trade in West Side and other parts of the city. His remarks came the same night members learned the organization is nearly halfway to the amount needed to apply for 501(c)(3) federal non-profit status, key to continuing its fight against neighborhood blight, organizers said. Residents asked Graziano to describe those engaged in drug-dealing, as well as his thoughts on the department’s efforts. Many dealers are aged 18 to 24 and come to Scranton from New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia, he explained, lured by the promise of profits as much as 400 percent higher here than in larger markets. He reiterated his belief that without a larger commitment to prevention and treatment, police across the country will simply keep making arrests but losing the war. To that end, Graziano added, communities that object to methadone clinics and treatment facilities in their neighborhoods are hindering the real fight against drug sales and abuse. The neighborhood watch, meanwhile, is moving toward its non-profit goal, which should open the door to grants and other funding sources which will support group activities such as neighborhood clean-ups, Vice-president Mike Foster said. The organization will need about $850 to apply for the status, and Krispy Kreme doughnut sales have raised $406, he said. With zombie-themed events sweeping the area, the neighborhood watch group is planning its own Zombie 5K run next month to raise more money. The Oct. 20 race will start and end at Allen Park, North Main Avenue and Price Street. Registration fees for individuals will be $25 before Sept. 28 and $30 after. For teams of10 or more, registration will be $15 per person before Sept. 28 and $20 per person after. But volunteers interested in helping the cause can play a role this Sunday, Sept. 23, as potential extras at the filming of a short video promoting the race. The taping will take place at the Jackson Street skate park, with about 20 "normal" people and eight zombie extras among those required for the piece. For information on the race, call 878.7368 or email info@ws-zombie-escape-route.org.

Nationally renowned gang-member interventionist Rev. Gregory Boyle, S.J. is the founder of Homeboy Industries, a nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles whose mission is the intervention and rehabilitation of gang members.

‘Invest’ in people By TIM TYMON For Go Lackawanna

ationally renowned gangmember interventionist Rev. Gregory Boyle, S.J. emphasized the importance of understanding and compassion when combating gang violence at a University of Scranton roundtable discussion Sept. 17.

Boyle, founder of Homeboy Industries, and other event coordinators, hoped to inspire local officials and invigorate Operation Gang Up, an initiative started last year to quell gang activity in northeastern Pennsylvania. Boyle and two former gang members with him spoke to a group of community and faculty leaders that included members of law en-

forcement, educational authorities, university departments heads, mission students and members of the local justice department. Homeboy Industries is a nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles whose mission is the intervention and rehabilitation of gang members with the goal of replacing them successfully into society. Boyle formed Homeboy Industries in 1988 and has been working in the field since. “I’m an expert on nothing,” said Boyle, “but for 25 years I’ve worked with gangs in the gang capital of the world.” Homeboy Industries is located in Los Angeles neighborhoods known for youth violence. Boyle said he has buried 133 young people as a result of gang violence during his time in service to the community. Edward Rodriguez and Marcus Avery, former Los Angeles gang members who also

spoke at the event, said their fathers had been killed in gang-related shootings and as a result of gang affiliation they spent 10 years and six years incarcerated, respectively. Boyle then spoke about the importance of understanding the reasons children join gangs in order to fight it effectively. “No kid is ever seeking anything when he joins a gang,” Boyle said, “It’s never happened, not once. It is always the case, always, that they are fleeing from something.” Although this sentiment is contrary to the belief popularly held by law enforcement officials and the public that children are lured into gang life by drugs, money or sense of community, Boyle said his is the correct outlook. And along with that unconventional outlook comes an unconSee INVEST, Page 8

Superintendent ready to address the district

OLD FORGE- Old Forge Superintendent R. Scott Jeffery said he’s excited for the first State of the District Address, scheduled for Monday, Sept. 24, at 7 p.m. in the Old Forge High School auditorium. Jeffery explained during the school board’s monthly meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 19, that during the presentation he will be covering the state of academics, facilities, and finances within the district. “Last year I gave a budget presentation in November, and earlier this year we started having some conversations about the budget, and one of the board members made a comment about how we should give some State of the District type of thing…so, I just took that and expanded that out,” said Jeffery. Jeffery said that the presentation will be positive, but also realistic, and a question-and-answer session will follow. Members of the school board will also be on hand at the presentation to answer any questions that members of the community may have. The information discussed during Monday’s presentation will be available on the district’s website, http://ofsd.cc/, on Tuesday, Sept. 25, for anyone unable to attend on Monday night. Jeffery said he plans on making the State of the District Address a yearly event.

Diocese launches $5.55 million annual appeal The Diocese of Scranton’s 2012 annual appeal kicked off Sept. 22 and 23 with a $5.55 million goal. That builds upon the success of last year’s appeal, which surpassed its $5.4 million goal by raising $5,406,171, officials said. Bishop Joseph C. Bambera cited two changes for this year. By working in consultation and close collaboration with Monsignor Joseph P. Kelly, Diocesan Secretary for Catholic Social Services, it was determined that the separate Diocesan Catholic Social Services collection undertaken by Catholic Social Services for the past several years during a weekend in Lent would be removed, and the funding made available to Catholic Social Services through the expanded appeal goal would increase to eight percent. Donors who have supported both the Diocesan Appeal and the Catholic Social Services collection can now combine those contributions into one gift equaling or increasing the total amount of those gifts. The Bishop also cited the addition of clergy and laypersons who are serving as Regional Chairs for the 2012 appeal. These men and women have contributed to the appeal, helping to further the mission of the Church of Scranton, and will provide support in their respective areas. The regional chairs for Lackawanna and Wyoming counties are Monsignor Patrick Pratico and Dr. Arthur and Maryclaire Jordan. A video explaining the significance and benefits of the appeal will be shown at all Masses the weekend of Sept. 22 and 23. The following week all Catholic households will receive a letter and a pledge card from Bishop Bambera. Pledge cards may also be obtained by calling the Appeal Office at 207.2250. Gifts also can be sent directly to: Diocesan Annual Appeal, 300 Wyoming Ave., Scranton, PA18503-1279, or visit www.annualappeal.org.

Sunday, September 23, 2012 OLD FORGE BOROUGH COUNCIL

OF OKs project, taps new zoning member By ROGER DuPUIS II rdupuis@golackawanna.com

OLD FORGE -- Borough officials have given their blessing to a $99,000 paving project which could get under way within weeks. Lawmakers on Tuesday night, Sept. 18 unanimously accepted a bid from Pennsy Supply for plans to pave West Grace Street from Marion Street to Melmore Street, as well as Baker Street from McClure Street to Sibley Avenue. Council also took unanimous action to fill a Zoning Board opening and switch dental insurance carriers during deliberations Tuesday. Borough engineer Harold Ash said that once the contractor has been given formal notice to proceed they will have 30 days to finish the work. Target date for completion is early November, he added. "We want to start the construction as soon as we can, so we can get finished in a reasonable time period before the cold weather hits," Ash said. West Grace Street is a major corridor for Old Forge school bus traffic. Borough Council

President Brian Rinadli said that alternate routes will be established during the time of construction. The borough received seven bids for the project, Ash said, ranging from Pennsy’s $99,537 proposal to $140,332 from Leeward Construction of Honesdale. Pennsy beat out the next highest bidder, American Asphalt, by just under $70. The appropriate utility companies have been advised about the project, Ash told council. ZONING BOARD Members voted to appoint John Belko to a Zoning Board seat that had been vacant since James Hoover left the post after being elected to the Old Forge Board of Education last year. "John is very active in a lot of community projects," Councilman Anthony Pero said in endorsing the move. Belko will serve for a five-year term, officials told Go Lackawanna. DENTAL INSURANCE The board also approved a new dental insur-

ance carrier for the borough after being informed that United Concordia would no longer cover Old Forge. New carrier Met Life will charge the borough $577.80 per month, compared with the $555.80 rate that was charged by United Concordia. One other carrier, Delta Dental, offered a rate that was slightly higher, at about $592 per month. Borough Manager MaryLynn Bartoletti told board members that United Concordia did not give a detailed explanation for its move other than to say that Old Forge’s group size is smaller than they like to see for a municipality. She advised board members that coverage offered under Met Life’s plan is similar to what the borough has had, "actually a little bit better." PENSION PLANS Council also voted to set the borough’s pension plan minimum municipal obligation amounts for 2013. The uniform pension amount for next year will be $43,511 and nonuniform will be $9,696.

bulls since he was 14 years old, and adopted one when he was released from prison. He credits adopting the dog, Geisha, with helping him turn his life around. Following his release he started a career as an actor, landing roles in films like Jim Carrey’s “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” He began Shortywood Productions, a Hollywood talent agency for little people in 2000. The adoption process also inspired him to start his rescue in 2001, after seeing how difficult it was to adopt a pit bull. “I was like, ‘Why are people trying to be idiots when someone’s trying to save a dog’s life? Especially a pit bull.’ That’s when I really got involved with rescuing pit bulls, helping them out, and as the years went by it got bigger and bigger,” said Rossi. The public became more aware of his rescue efforts following the release of “Pit Boss” in 2010. At the time, Rossi had been pitching the idea of a reality TV show centered around his talent agency to a few different production companies, when word got out that Animal Planet was looking for some edgier programming. “One of the production compa-

nies said, ‘What about Shorty and those freaking pit bulls?’” said Rossi. The series follows Rossi and his crew as they carry out their rescue efforts. The show has found a loyal audience and just finished filming its sixth season a week ago, which will premiere Nov. 3 and air on Saturdays at 9 p.m. on Animal Planet. The television show has helped Rossi’s cause, and over the years many people have told him that it was because of the show that they decided to adopt a pit bull. Growing up as a dwarf, Rossi said he feels a connection to pit bulls and is able to sympathize with them,

one of the reasons he goes to great lengths to defend them. “They’re like a misunderstood breed, just like sometimes little people are misunderstood,” said Rossi. “Sometimes people don’t take us seriously. They think we’re circus freaks, not doctors, lawyers and business owners, so I kind of understand what they go through, and they’re loyal dogs, so that’s why I like them.” “People don’t understand that if you train this dog to be vicious, even if a middle class family gets a pit bull, because they want a guard dog, and then they start training them…

what they’re doing is they’re training them to be vicious. If you want a guard dog, get a Rottweiler or German Sheppard. If you want a loyal companion, get a pit bull. Train it to be nice, (and) it will protect you automatically.” The owner of Puppy Love Pet Spa in West Scranton, Beverly Peffer, echoed Rossi’s sentiments. Peffer said her love for pit bulls and Rossi’s work is one of the reason she opened the doors of her business for Rossi’s appearance, and why she decided to help Diane Gubbiotti, the organizer of Rossi’s Scranton appearances, with the event. Rossi will be at the Mall at Steamtown from noon to 2 p.m. and 3 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 29; Poppy’s Diner for “Breakfast with Shorty,” a buffet, on Saturday, Sept. 29, from 9 to 10 a.m. and Sunday, Sept. 30, from 9 to 10 a.m. and 10 to 11 a.m.; Puppy Love Pet Spa on Sunday, Sept. 30, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.; and Luzerne County Pit Bull Owners and NEPA Avail-a-Bullies are hosting a thank you party for Rossi at Brews Brothers on Sunday, Sept. 30, at 7 p.m. Prices for all these events vary.

Winners come on strong over last mile of Lupus Loop 5K

Schools miss state academic progress goals By MARK GUYDISH For Go Lackawanna

JASON RIEDMILLER / FOR GO LACKAWANNA

Runners start the Lupus Loop 5K Run at Nay Aug Park on Sunday, Sept. 16.

FANTASTIC FINISHES By ROBERT MINER For Go Lackawanna

CRANTON – Joe Cardillo and Ellen Krantz-Buskovitz went into Sunday’s Lupus Loop 5K Run at Nay Aug Park with basically the same strategy – run conservatively early and hammer the course late. Their strategies worked. And they both scored wins. Cardillo, 53, of Dunmore, broke the tape in 17 minutes and 26 seconds on Sept. 16. He outran second-place finisher, Matt DeStefano, 15, of Scranton, by 1:52. “I laid back over the first mile,” said Cardillo, who ran cross country and track for Dunmore High School and East Stroudsburg University in the 1980s. “After the first mile, I picked it up a bit and started pulling away.” The runner he pulled away from was DeStefano, who was running a close second up to that point. DeStefano runs cross country and plays baseball (pitcher, catcher and outfielder) for Scranton High School. He is a sophomore.

Once Cardillo opened up a lead, he settled into a nice, even pace the rest of the way. Cardillo said that he likes to run in races that support good causes. “This is what you do it for,” Cardillo said. “It’s for a great cause. The event was well organized. The traffic control was great. And the weather was great, too.” Krantz-Buskovitz, 39, of Mayfield, hadn’t raced in a 5K for more than a year and wondered just how well she would do. She won the female division with an eighth-place overall finish in 19:56, outrunning second-place (ninth-place overall) finisher, Lindsay Weidow Holland, 29, of Scranton, by 19 seconds. “My plan, going into the race, was to take it easy at the start and pick it up over the final mile,” said Krantz-Buskovitz, who actually took charge of the female division very early in the race despite running conservatively. “The plan worked.” Krantz-Buskovitz -- who only started running five years ago -- said she want-

ed to run the race because it was raising money to fight lupus. Sarah Piccini, events coordinator of the Pocono/Northeast Branch of the Lupus Foundation of Pennsylvania, said that proceeds from this year’s race, when the final count is in, are expected to reach between $10,000 and $15,000. Lupus is a disease in which a person’s autoimmune system begins to attack healthy tissues and sometimes vital organs. All of the money raised at the Lupus Loop races stay in the area and is used for research and local patient services. Jillian Mishko, a 25-year-old Dickson City woman (originally from Blakely) who is a grad student at the University of Scranton, was diagnosed with lupus 10 years ago. In honor of her 10th anniversary of battling lupus and all its side effects, 70 people (friends, friends of friends, family and some undergrads from the University of Scranton) participated in the walk as a tribute to her. Her best friend came all the way from Philadelphia and brought a handful of friends with her.

Several school districts in Lackawanna County did not meet the state-mandated standards for “Adequate Yearly Progress” (AYP) toward 100 percent student proficiency in math and reading, according to data released by the state on Friday, Sept. 21. The “Adequate Yearly Progress” mandate was created by the 2001 law known as “No Child Left Behind.” The ultimate goal is to have all students who are tested score proficient or better in standardized math and reading exams by 2014. The state uses several measures to determine if a school meets AYP, including percentage of students taking the tests, attendance rates in elementary schools and graduation rates in high schools. But the biggest factor is performance on standardized math and reading tests given in grades 3 through 8 and 11. Individual schools as well as the district overall must have a minimum percentage of test-takers score “Proficient” or “Advanced,” and that percentage increases every several years until reaching the 2014 goal. This year, the bar rose substantially. The goal in reading climbed from 72 percent to 81 percent, while the math benchmark moved form 67 percent to 78 percent. The goals must be met by all students in a school and in a grade, though the state has a complex method of measuring results across grades in an effort to compensate for the student migration – those who enter or leave a class or school during a year. But the federal law also requires the goals be met by students within certain subgroups that statistically tend to do poorly on standardized tests, particularly special educations students, minority students, and student from low income families. Schools can and often do meet the proficiency goals for all students, yet miss AYP because students in a subgroup miss the goal. Locally, results for special education students have frequently been the reason schools missed AYP. Because the measure is applied to individual schools and to districts, it is possible for districts to meet the goals overall even if a school does not. In Lackawanna County, the Riverside, Abington Heights, Carbondale Area, North Pocono and Valley View school districts received warnings. Scranton is a District Improvement I. Old Forge, Dunmore, Lakeland and Mid Valley school districts met the AYP.

Little Sisters plan big dinner

The Little Sisters of the Poor at Holy Family Residence will hold the group’s annual homemade roast beef dinner on Sunday, Oct. 21 from 12 to 4 p.m. at Holy Family Residence, 2500 Adams Ave., Scranton, adjacent to Marywood University. The dinner will be catered courtesy of Stirna’s Restaurant, Scranton. Take-out dinners will be available all day. Tickets are $10 for adults and $6 for children 10 and younger. The menu includes roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy, carrots, applesauce, rolls, pie, and assorted beverages. At the event, the Sisters will also have easy listening entertainment. In addition to the dinner, the Sisters will have a bake sale, which will include homemade scones and an assortment of other baked

goods. There will also be raffles for gift baskets, gift certificates for area restaurants and businesses, and a $5,000 Mount Airy Casino Resort weekend getaway prize package. The Little Sisters also have numerous sponsorship packages available, which can be purchased as a way to honor or remember a loved one. For advance ticket purchases and sponsorship information, call Jackie Galvin, M.S., director of development and communications, at 343.4065 or visit www.littlesistersofthepoorscranton.org. Tickets will also be available at the door. All proceeds will benefit the Little Sisters in their mission of caring for the elderly with respect, dignity, and love.

ventional approach. “All we could do was surround him with love and the promise of rebuilding,” said Boyle, in reference to one particularly troubled “Homie,” his term of affection for all ex-gang members affiliated with Homeboy Industries. “What if we were to invest in people rather than endlessly try to incarcerate our way out of this,” he added. This concept of love first and worry later seems to be working. According to a university study mentioned by Boyle, Homeboy Industries experiences a 70 percent retention rate, which is the inverse of the 30 percent found at other, similar programs around the country. Though it does not exist here to the same extent as it does in Los Angeles, criminal gang activity has been on the rise in northeastern Pa. State senator John Yudichak spoke at the conclusion of the event about Operation Gang Up, a regional initiative created by Yudichak and U.S. Congressman Lou Barletta. “It’s about educating and being educated,” said Yudichak. He added that he felt the region’s high unemployment rate may be a cause of local gang activity. He said one-third of youth in the region are living in poverty and not earning high school diplomas. Yudichak and other officials in the area are hoping to adopt the philosophies and tactics employed by Boyle and Homeboy Industries in an effort to copy their success.

Scranton race raises 12K for K9s

By ROGER DuPUIS II rdupuis@golackawanna.com

A Sept. 15 5K run raised $12,000 to support the Scranton Police K9 unit, Acting police Chief Carl Graziano said. "People always seem to step up when it comes to the K9 Unit," Graziano said of the third-annual event, which drew 150 participants as well as corporate sponsorship. Among corporate sponsors, Boots & Hanks Towing and Truck Parts contributed $3,000, he added. While city money covers the basics for the department’s four-dog

team, fundraisers like the run help defray the cost of a wide range of extras and incidentals, he explained. Funds raised last year helped purchase car temperature alarms that warn officers if conditions in their vehicle approach unsafe levels when the dogs are inside. Other items supported by fundraisers have included outside training, padded bite suits for officers and other equipment, Graziano said. Saturday’s overall winner was Timothy McGurrin, with a time of 19:30, while Michelle Corington

was the top female finisher at 21:05. Full results have been posted at http://www.coolrunning.com/ results/12/pa/ Sep15_K95k_set1.shtml. The yearly race is the largest single fundraiser, but not the only way officers raise cash for the K9s. Sweatshirts and T-shirts are a popular item -- many could be seen on runners and supporters Saturday morning -- available from any K9 unit officer or by calling the chief’s office at 348.4130. "It gets out the word," Graziano said.

Team Riverside helps ‘Light the Night’ By DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@golackawanna.com

Next weekend over 1,000 members of the community will be showing their support for those touched by cancer by lighting up the dark night sky in Scranton. The park will host the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s 2012 Northeast Light the Night Walk on Saturday, Sept. 29, at Nay Aug Park in Scranton. “This walk is so different than other charity walks. It’s not an athletic walk, anybody can do it, you can bring your dogs. The thing I love about it is it’s at night,” said Maria Voytko. Voytko explained that participants carry illuminated balloons of different colors during the two mile walk. White balloons are carried by survivors, red by supporters and gold in memory of loved ones. “They have little lights inside of them and they blink. So last year we had over 1,500 people, we’re walking around Nay Aug and all you see are these blinking lights in the dark, and it’s an incredible vision.” A blood cancer survivor, Voytko has been volunteering for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for the last decade, and during that time has had the chance to witness the yearly event grow. “It’s grown enormously over the past seven years,” said Voytko. “We’re almost busting out of Nay Aug Park, so it’s nice to see we’re almost growing out of the area now. It’s amazing, we’ve made our goals, they increase them every year, we’re getting a lot more publicity, (and) our attendance has increased dramatically.” As the popularity of event has grown, so has the number of people wishing to volunteer. A librarian at Riverside High School, Voytko said during the first few years she used to have to try and recruit students to help out with the yearly event, but in recent years she has had a number of students approaching her asking if they could help with the walk as a part of their senior project. “I have a lot of people coming to me wanting to do it, and I have mini interviews to make sure they’re qualified, let them know it’s a lot of hard work,” said Voytko.

Riverside High School students, sitting, from left, Jenna Bauman, Alicia Sophabmixay, Deanna Wesley and Nazia Nowshin, and, standing, librarian Maria Voytko, are organizing Team Riverside for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s 2012 Northeast Light the Night Walk on Saturday, Sept. 29.

IF YOU GO WHAT: The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s annual Light the Night Walk WHEN: Saturday, Sept. 29, registration and festivities begin at 4:30 p.m., the walk beings at 6:30 p.m. WHERE: Nay Aug Park INFO: www.lightthenight.org/epa

The seniors who take the project on help out with other fundraisers during the year, but their main hours are accumulated during the walk. The group is responsible for helping organize and publicize Team Riverside, which is comprised of students, faculty and members of the community. The group was asked to send out invitations, flyers and get the word out about the team. The team has already raised over $1,400, and they are hoping to exceed last year’s total of $2,400. The senior volunteers are also

in charge of the raffle tent. Each member is required to bring their own basket to be raffled off, in addition to collecting baskets before, and the day of the walk. . And, the group will be making commemorative stars, gold for those who have passed on and silver for survivors, which will be displayed throughout the park. Those participating in the walk have the option of purchasing a star and placing the name of a loved one on them. Voytko said she’s happy with the work of this year’s group of volunteers, which includes Alicia Sophabmixay, a senior who is a blood cancer survivor. “She was diagnosed right before seventh grade,” said Voytko. “I was always (thinking), ‘Oh, I really hope she does it for her senior project with me,’ and she did.” Also helping out this year are Jenna Bauman, Deanna Wesley and Nazia Nowshin. “They’re all friends with (So-

phabmixay) so it was very personal to them,” said Voytko. “If it’s personal to them, they get attached. That’s when people continue to stay involved with a certain charity or organization, when it means something to them, they have friends and family that really affected them so that’s a way to honor them every year.” As a result of Voytko hand picking students who have a deeper connection to the charity, many volunteers have come back year after year to help out the day of the walk. Anyone interested can still volunteer or register for the walk, for more information, visit www.lightthenight.org. Raffle basket donations will be accepted the day of the event at the raffle tent. Monetary donations can be made through Light the Night’s website. Those interested in making a donation to Team Riverside can click on “Find a Participant/

Team” and search Riverside. Funds raised from the walk will support the Society’s mission to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. “The funds are greatly needed. A lot of the money stays local for local patients. Our mission is to help with blood cancer, whether that’s financially or just providing information,” said Voytko. “We are here if anyone wants to contact us. If there’s someone who was recently diagnosed or someone who has an issue, we have tons of information. We have a patient’s services department and we’re always available to help.” For more information on the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, visit www.lls.org. Registration for the Northeast Light the Night Walk will begin at 4:30 p.m. followed by guest speakers, a remembrance ceremony, and the walk beginning at dusk.

Zombies mob Taylor By ROGER DuPUIS II rdupuis@golackawanna.com

From beneath the brim of a baseball cap, Paul VanLuvender calmly scanned the rocky ground. “Zombies aren’t really my thing,” the Taylor resident said as he looked toward the muddy pit where the next wave of survivors was due to come slogging out of the woods. “I really just wanted to help out a good cause in the community,” said VanLuvender, one of the volunteers working to make the Sept. 22 “Zombie Survivor Challenge” 5K a success. Part of the Infect Scranton “zombie con,” this was not your average five-kilometer race. Runners departed from John Derenick Park on a meandering course

through the woods, strewn not just with obstacles but also leering zombies popping out to scare them off their game. Few seemed too put out by the zombies, though some exhausted runners did seem a little hesitant to take the final plunge when they saw the muddy brown pit that was the final obstacle standing between them and the finish line. “Jump! Jump!” onlookers cried, and one-by-one the runners dived into the muck to emerge victorious, survivors of the rugged Downvalley terrain more than anything else.

Riverside High School student Hannah Oustrich created this ceramic tile representing the interconnectedness of humankind.

Artists embrace hexagon By ROGER DuPUIS II rdupuis@golackawanna.com

ix hands join together, each grasping a neighbor’s wrist. Peach, brown and pale yellow hues color this hexagon of disembodied appendages, some plain, some adorned with rings, others inked with flowery tattoos or the Chinese yin-yang symbol, representing the interconnectedness of opposing forces. For Hannah Oustrich, the inspiration was simple: a photo of linked hands she saw somewhere on the Internet. Translating that image into the threedimensional medium of glazed ceramic required the painstaking work of Oustrich’s own hands.

“It took quite a while,” art teacher Denis Yanashot said of Oustrich’s tile, describing how multiple firings and painstaking paint work was required to achieve the right effect. That craftsmanship -- and the simple, powerful symbolism -- earned the Riverside High School student a first place award and the honor of seeing her colorful tile immortalized in print, as a featured image on the poster for this year’s Interdependence Day Hexagon Project exhibit. The showing, at the Library Express in the Mall at Steamtown, runs through Sept. 30. Oustrich’s, whose work received a first place award for most effective piece of high school ceramics, was one of 25 Riverside students whose work appears in the exhibit, of whom more than half received awards. Exhibitors include several students who graduated earlier this year.

Interdependence Day was launched in Philadelphia on Sept. 12, 2003, the date chosen as a post 9/11 symbol of regeneration. Its goals include fostering greater harmony and tolerance throughout the world, emphasizing the interconnectedness of humankind and different cultures. Six-sided hexagons, which can so neatly nest with one another, serve as a metaphor for interconnectedness. The Greater Scranton Interdependence Day Committee’s People’s Hexagon Project invited students in grades 5 through 12 to create hexagonal artworks interpreting the movement’s focus on global unity and tolerance. This is the art project’s six year, and organizers said more than 2,000 hexagons were submitted in the first five years. This year’s exhibit features hexagons from students See HEXAGON, Page 13

worldwide, with Northeast Pennsylvania representation this year coming from Riverside, Abington Heights, Mountain View and Tunkhannock. Riverside’s students were taught by Yanashot and Lisa Temples. Temples said it can at first be challenging for students to represent some of the movement’s more complex issues, but that it has been rewarding “learning different ways to teach them how to express” the diverse themes. Artistic expression and interconnectedness are themes for the Oustrich family. Hannah’s younger brother, Aaron, won a first place award for most effective piece of high school ceramics. His tile featured symbols of the Christian, Jewish and Islamic faiths together with a yin-yang. But ceramic wasn’t the sole medium in play. High school student Keisha Buttaro won a second place for most creative expression in the high school category for two-dimensional work, honoring a collage she made that incorporated a panda bear in an ecological theme. “It’s to represent that we are not the only creatures on the planet,” Buttaro said.

It’s difficult to adjust to the fall season. Between the weather change and the early sunsets, it’s tough to stay motivated, stick to a budget and stay healthy without once a week thinking how easy it would be to order a pizza or drive through the “Golden Arches.” The solution to the popular question, “What’s for dinner?” can be solved with meal planning. I used to spend a lot of my day thinking about dinner, as I am sure most people do. With a hectic work day, after school activates for the kids, and trying to squeeze in a small amount of personal time, it’s very easy to just order out or eat a frozen, unhealthy meal. The solution is found in a few simple steps of meal planning. Start by getting the whole family involved in the planning process by making a list of 30 family favorite meals including breakfast, lunch and dinner. Start small by planning one meal a day for an entire week. I suggest dinner since it’s probably the easiest. Meal planning helps slash your grocery budget as well as provide healthy meals for your family. Planning ahead also allows more family time to be spent at the dinner table. There are a number of ways to meal plan that include slow cooking, match cooking, freezer cooking, leftover makeovers, and fast five meals. Slow cooking is my favorite because it only requires prep time and the slow cooker does the rest. This will actually save money since less expensive cuts of meat can be used in slow cooker recipes. Batch cooking is also an idea, and can be made into a party. If you’re making items like spaghetti sauce, mashed potatoes, soup, taco meat, or apple sauce, try doubling the recipe to use later in the week, or freeze for later use. Batch cooking can also be a way to get together with

DEAL DETECTIVE JENNA URBAN friends once a month to double up and then swap the second batch. Cooking with friends will help save money by splitting the cost of groceries. Freezer cooking allows you to cook for a day and eat for a month. After batch cooking in large quantities, fill freezer bags or containers to place in the freezer. Most foods can be frozen for 30 days with proper preparations. Just take the frozen meals out in the morning to defrost. If you think that meal planning is difficult, try taking it slowly and even use theme nights as a way to ease into the process. Just like most, Friday night is pizza night for us. Think about Monday as Mexican, Sunday as pasta night and so on. Leftovers can be used as a buffet one night a week and everyone can mix and match their favorite meals from the week. Remember that breakfast can be enjoyable at any time of the day, and can also be used as a theme. I also recommend having fast five meals that are kept in your pantry. If you are running late from work or stuck at a sports practice and didn’t get to the store, use these five meals as your go to meals. Stock up on items like pizza sauce, spaghetti jarred sauce, pasta, peanut butter and jelly, canned soup, biscuits, and frozen bread or pitas rather than ordering out. These simple steps will help save time and money by planning ahead. To learn more about meal planning, attend a monthly meal planning class by visiting Bucktownbargains.com/savingsnation.

Viking ready for districts By TOM ROBINSON For Go Lackawanna

ELMHURST – Riverside senior Carl Pugliese is headed to the District 2 Boys Golf Tournament for the fourth straight year. Pugliese qualified Thursday, Sept. 20 at Elmhurst Country Club when he shot an 86 to tie for 16th with Old Forge’s Cameron Carpenter among 61 Class AA players seeking 26 district berths. This is the first year that the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association and PIAA District 2 split golf according to enrollment classifications. Pugliese, who continued a strong season that includes a 10-1 match-play record, and Carpenter will play in the first District 2 Class AA Tournament Oct. 8 at Fox Hill Country Club. Evan Joyce and Nick Johnson, a pair of Scranton Prep players from Moosic, shot 80 and 82 to place among the 20 Class AAA qualifiers. The district Class AAA Tournament will be played at the same time at Fox Hill. Dunmore, in Class AA, was the only team to get all six of its players through Lackawanna League qualifying. Holy Cross advanced five in Class AA. Abington Heights and North Poco-

no led Class AAA teams by qualifying five golfers each while Scranton Prep had four. Cody Cox of Delaware Valley and Greg Reeves of Lakeland claimed medalist honors. Cox shot 72 to lead Class AAA qualifying and Reeves shot 74 to lead all Class AA players. Anthony Sebastianelli of Abington Heights was second in Class AAA with a 73 and the Comets had four of the top seven. Sean Conway was fourth with 77, while Alex Altier and Dave Harris tied for fifth with 78. North Pocono’s Kerry Connors finished third with a 76 while Wallenpaupack’s Eric Miller was part of the tie at 78. John Barone of Dunmore was second in Class AA with a 77, one shot ahead of Thomas Dzwonczyk of Holy Cross. Danielle Dalessandro, a Scranton Prep player from Moosic, led Class AAA girls qualifying with an 80 Friday at Scranton Municipal.

BOYS SOCCER West Scranton posted two straight shutouts, including one against second-place Scranton Prep in a Lackawanna League Division 1 game. The Invaders (2-3-1) played the Cavaliers (4-1-1) to a scoreless tie Sept. 15

at Memorial Stadium then came back with a 1-0 victory over North Pocono Monday night. Vinny Arcieri made six saves and Brandon Soldani scored on a Tyler Jakes assist in the first half of the win over North Pocono. Plans are set for the District 2 tournament. There will be eight-team brackets in all three classes, including Class AAA, which is actually a regional tournament with the inclusion of Williamsport, the only large school team from District 4. West Scranton is among the six Lackawanna teams fighting for five spots in the field that also features two from the Wyoming Valley Conference and Williamsport. Qualifying is a bit more difficult in Class AA and Class A. Instead of 10 teams trying to find their way among the eight in the playoffs, there are 15 Class AA schools and 14 Class A. Scranton Prep is among the five Lackawanna schools in Class AA. There are two spots for Lackawanna teams and the league’s third-best Class AA team will play the sixthplace WVC team for the final berth. Old Forge and Riverside are in a group of 11 Lackawanna Class A See NOTEBOOK, Page 27

Blue Devils roll over Dunmore By TOM ROBINSON For Go Lackawanna

LD FORGE – Brian Tomasetti needed less than six minutes Friday night to produce the first touchdown against the Dunmore defense this season. By the time he was finished, Tomasetti had three touchdowns to lead Old Forge to a 21-0 win, its first victory over Dunmore since 1980. “That’s a huge deal,” Tomasetti said. “They’re a great program so we figured if we get a win here tonight, it would be a big stepping stone for our program.” The game matched teams ranked in the top 10 in the state in Class A, according to the Harrisburg Patriot-News and provided a potential preview of the District 2 playoffs where Old Forge will be trying to defend its title. Both teams entered the night with 3-0 records. Dunmore was ranked third and Old Forge seventh. Dunmore, playing without its top two rushers, Austin Seamon and Daiqwon Buckley, because of injuries, was unable to move the ball on Old Forge. The Blue Devils held the Bucks

without a first down in the first half. After Dunmore opened the second half with two first downs in three plays, Tomasetti intercepted an underthrown pass and returned it 64 yards for a touchdown and 14-0 lead with 9:15 left in the third quarter. “We had some turnovers and silly things go wrong, but I was just happy with the way we battled,” Old Forge coach Mike Schuback said. “They’re a very good football team.

“They’re going to be playing until Thanksgiving.” Jorden Sekol recovered a fumble to stop the next Dunmore possession and Tomasetti carried six straight times to cover 40 yards. Tomasetti’s 1-yard run and Matt Mancuso’s third extra point concluded the scoring with 5:37 still remaining in the third quarter. Tomasetti, who finished with 145 yards on 29 carries, had 26 carries to that point. He was busy See OLD FORGE, Page 28

Chasing the same goals Some of the explanations are obvious. The two schools are neighbors. Both programs have had more than their share of success. But those explanations only tell part of the story and create just a portion of the picture of the rivalry about to unfold again Friday night, Sept. 28 when Old Forge heads to Taylor to take on Riverside in a game between two of the top Class A football teams in the state. The Vikings made their second trip to a state Class A championship game just two years ago and still has some of the key players from that team around. Old Forge participated in the state tournament last year after winning the most recent District 2 championship. Each team inflicted a painful loss on the other a year ago and would like to do the same Friday. And, just like last year, each is well aware that this may not be the last time they see each other in 2012. “I think it’s the close proximity – that’s how rivalries tend to evolve,” Old Forge coach Mike Schuback said. “You look at FloridaFlorida State or Pittston Area-Wyoming Area. “ … I do believe it’s centered on the fact that they’re right next door.” And, often chasing the same goals. The Vikings and Blue Devils are in different divisions of the Lackawanna Football Conference, but as Class A teams they play in the same district tournament and pursue the same post in the state playoffs. A win over Riverside or Old Forge is a major accomplishment for any District 2 Class A team. A key loss hurts a bit more when it is delivered by your neighbor. “You look at both pro-

KEEPING SCORE TOM ROBINSON BRAGGING RIGHTS The Old Forge-Riverside rivalry dates back to Old Forge’s 6-0 victory over Taylor in 1916. The schools met in football again starting in 1939 and Old Forge led 13-8-2 in the series through 1960. Taylor won eight straight in the 1940s before Old Forge went unbeaten in the last 13 games against Taylor. Prior to 1961, Old Forge and Moosic also played once and tied. Old Forge won the four games against Taylor-Moosic from 1961-64 by a total of 164-32. Taylor-Moosic became Riverside in 1965 and Riverside built a 22-14-2 lead over Old Forge since that time. Riverside is 13-5 in the last 18 meetings and 9-3 since 2003. Old Forge scored at least 40 points in each of its three wins during that time. Tracing the series through Taylor, Old Forge has an all-time lead of 31-30-4. Using Moosic as the starting point, Riverside has a 22-18-3 lead.

grams and both are rich in tradition,” Riverside coach Evan Prall said. “Old Forge has a great football tradition and so does Riverside. “Old Forge is the defending district champion and Riverside was in the state final two years ago. When you line up for Old ForgeRiverside, you know you are going to have a hardhitting football game.” In recent years, Riverside has won more often by taking a series of competitive games. Old Forge has produced the more decisive victories, including one that could be fresh in the mind of the Vikings Friday. Riverside rallied and used a controversial twopoint conversion to win the regular-season meeting, 15-14, last year, giving Old Forge some extra motivation in their district championship game meeting.

The Invaders improved to 3-1 overall. Brownlee surpassed the 100-yard mark for the third time this season by the end of the first quarter. He ran for three touchdowns at North Pocono, including a 75-yarder, for a 19-3 West Scranton lead. Joe Devine returned a punt 55 yards to set up his own 21-yard touchdown reception from Jordan McCloe. Brownlee added a twopoint conversion run for a 27-3 halftime lead.

McCloe scored the last touchdown in a 1-yard quarterback sneak in the third quarter. Jorge Guerrera added his second extrapoint kick of the game.

The West Scranton defense has allowed just two touchdowns and a field goal in the last three games. "This is the best defense we’ve had since I’ve been here," Gerek said. Demetris Garcia, the secondleading rusher, led the defense with five tackles, two assists and a fumble recovery. The Invaders play at Memorial Stadium the next two Friday nights against unbeatens Delaware Valley and Scranton, considered the top two threats for the Division 1 title.

SHARKEY’S return impacts Tigers

To say that Kathleen Sharkey makes the Princeton field hockey team go is an understatement. Sharkey, a Moosic native, and graduate of Wyoming Seminary, helped the Tigers kick off the season with a 6-0 record. She scored 13 goals with five assists for 31 points and she had four game-winning goals. But that’s nothing new for the senior forward. She was the Ivy League Player of the Year in 2010. She passed up last season to train with the United States National Team. “It has been unbelievable to have Kat back,” coach Kristin Holmes-Winn said. “She brings such passion and energy to our environment. She loves the game, loves to compete and that kind of enthusiasm is infectious.” Sharkey earned All-American honors as a sophomore and junior and has been a three-time All-Ivy League selection. She scored 33 goals and had eight assists in 2010, good for 74 points, and entered this season with 39 career goals and 22 career assists for 100 points. “Kat has started this season pretty much where she left off in 2010,” Holmes-Winn said. “I am trying my best to stay in the moment and enjoy every second of this season. The opportunity to coach a player like Kat does not come around very often.”

Kathleen Sharkey has scored 13 goals for the Princeton University field hockey team this season.

McDonald, originally from West Scranton, opened the season by finishing 19th out of 98 runners in the Lehigh Invitational. Her time was 23:40.15 for 6k and she competed against a number of Division I runners. She followed that up by finishing 11th out of 92 runners in the Division II Challenge at Kutztown. Her time was 23:58. “Molly did an outstanding job this summer preparing for the cross country season,” coach Ray Hoffman said. “She ran a personal best at Lehigh and you can see that in just one year, she has

Sharkey “She has a great work ethic, her strength is up and she has a super mental outlook,” the coach said. “All of those things brought together can lead to some exceptional performances.” Duo helping Warriors The Lycoming football team got off to a 2-1 start and seniors Matt Talerico and Corey Schuster, both former Riverside High School standouts, are a big reason why. Both players are starting again on defense. Talerico is a returning All-Middle Atlantic Conference selection. “It’s hard to believe that they are seniors,” coach Mike Clark said. “They bring a ton of experience on defense and both have been great thus far with their play and their leadership.” Talerico, a 5-foot-7, 181 safety, has 10 tackles. Schuster, a 5foot-11, 205-pound linebacker, has 15 tackles a forced fumble. “We need these guys to perform in order for us to have the type of year we’re expecting,” Clark said. Kania ready to go After a big freshman season, sophomore Paul Kania, a Riverside High School graduate, is looking for even bigger things this season with the Marywood men’s golf team. Kania averaged 80.5 in 12 matches last season and capped off the year by finishing seventh in the Colonial States Athletic Conference to earn first-team allleague honors.

This season, new coach Terry Bowden and his staff decided to move Rossi to defense. He’s a linebacker. “Nick is a hard-nosed, competitive player,” Bowden said.

Riverside defeats Susquehanna By Tom Robinson For Go Lackawanna

Nick Dranchak threw for five touchdowns and ran for another in the first half of Saturday afternoon’s game to lead Riverside to a 42-21 football victory at Susquehanna. Dranchak threw for four touchdowns and a pair of twopoint conversions during the second quarter when the Vikings (3-1) extended their lead from 12-7 to 42-7 on Sept. 22. The entire second half was played under the Mercy Rule. Dranchak ran for the first touchdown then threw the first of three touchdown passes to Jim Tucker for a 12-0 lead. Jaron Vishnesky and Michael Loftus caught touchdown passes late in the half. The win was the third straight for the Vikings. Susquehanna fell to 1-3. Austin White threw two touchdown passes for Susquehanna.

Knights, Cougars set up showdown STAFF REPORTS For Go Lackawanna

ake McCarthy ran for three first-half touchdowns Friday night, Sept. 21, to lead Scranton to a 43-21 victory over Scranton Prep in a Lackawanna Football Conference Division 1 opener that matched teams off to 3-0 starts. Scranton Prep scored first

and added another touchdown before the first quarter was over, but Scranton took a 2921 halftime lead and added a pair of third-quarter scores. Rob Castellani ran for three touchdowns and Liam Callejas passed for two as Valley View defeated visiting East Stroudsburg North, 48-13, in another battle of unbeatens. Valley View has scored 48 or

more points in three of its four games. The win sets up a meeting of teams that are 1-0 in the division and 4-0 overall Friday night when Scranton visits Valley View in a game between the two teams that shared the Division 1 title last season. Carbondale rallied from eight down in the fourth quarter to pull out a 20-14 over-

match, rolling into the state playoffs with a 47-6 rout. “The first time we played them last year, we were still trying to find our identity as an offensive unit,” Schuback said. “Toward the end of the season, we had established what we were going to

do and where we were going to go with the football.” Riverside’s returning players are not likely to forget the way they were handled by Old Forge, which outgained the Vikings, 199-4, while opening a 28-0 lead in the first half. “We’ll try to use that as a motivating factor,” Prall said. “We’ll see how that works out next Friday night.”

Schuback will be trying to make sure his players don’t count on a carryover of last year’s success. “We don’t dwell on that stuff,” he said. “Every team is different. Every season is different. I would like to believe our focus will be on this year’s team and what we have in front of us. “ … The last thing we want to be worrying about is what we did (10) months ago.”

time victory over Lakeland. Mid Valley opened a 47point halftime lead on the way to a 54-8 rout of Holy Cross. Lackawanna Trail remained unbeaten with a 46-21 victory over Western Wayne. Honesdale shut out Montrose, 41-0, in a meeting of winless teams. Crestwood defeated Wallenpaupack, 33-6.

right from the start. Penalties helped disrupt the opening drive in which Tomasetti picked up 41 yards on the first four plays. When Old Forge punted, Dunmore mishandled it and Jake Manetti recovered. The Blue Devils took advantage with Tomasetti scoring on a 2-yard run. “We got some things going early,” Schuback said. “Obviously, they didn’t have some of their kids out there tonight, which makes a difference.” Old Forge dominated the first half, but low snaps contributed to Mancuso missing two field goals. He eventually missed another attempt from 43 yards in the fourth quarter after again having to hesitate while the ball was being placed. Dunmore gained possession three times in Old Forge territory in the half, but never threatened. Shane Schuback had a fumble recovery and a tackle for a loss to help the Old Forge defense. The Blue Devils have not allowed a first-half touchdown since the team fell behind for the only time this season, 7-0, in the first quarter to Lake-Lehman on Opening Night.

BY THE NUMBERS • Old Forge outgained Dunmore, 154-19, in the first half. • The Blue Devils finished with yardage advantages of 196-73 rushing, 79-56 passing and 275-129 total. • Tomasetti has 14 touchdowns in four games, including three on his five interception returns. He has 600 yards and 10 touchdowns rushing on 73 carries, for an average of 8.2 yards per carry. • Old Forge has outscored opponents, 169-28.
