The time has come for me to GO

After 91 editions, amounting to close than 600 bylines, it’s time for me to say goodbye to Go Lackawanna. When the publication borne from the ashes of the Times Leader Scranton Edition needed an editor in July 2010, I jumped at the chance to report on my hometown. I soon learned the trouble of such a task as personal friends fell on the other side of the law and it was my duty to report on them. Similarly, when the chance to aid The Times Leader by returning to my former role as an online editor was presented late last month, I knew what needed to be done. Despite the existence of an

BEHIND THE BYLINES

CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES editor for one edition and a transition team of the finest folks from The Times Leader that captained Go before my first official publication on July 25, 2010, I will always consider myself the founding editor of this publication. I know of few titles I’ve held in my life that surpass the one possessed here – father, husband, son, and brother. Should I be lucky enough to see the day, grandfather will likely beat out founding editor of a Keystone Press Award-winning newspaper, too. By the way, we just picked up nine more Keystones this week, bringing us to a total of 15 for 18 months of eligible work.

I’m proud to say we did things differently under my watch than many community newspapers would have. We reported on crimes, fires, corruption trials, indictments, the scourge of synthetic drugs, Supreme Court rulings worth millions of dollars, and so much more. Nothing will reverse the good work done here, but there is so much more to be done. I’m proud to introduce a personal friend and colleague, Don McGlynn, as my successor behind the small partition inside our Wyoming Avenue office. Don is a Scranton native and has the tools necessary to continue to steer Go in the right direction. With four years at The Abington Journal and the guidance of some of the area’s best community news

pros at his side, his success is assured, in my opinion. He will build things here that even I couldn’t have imagined. I will continue to watch how evenly reporters covering my beloved city play the facts. The staff at Go did so with gusto from the start. I will miss the phone calls from Scranton Police Chief Dan Duffy and my scrambles to Central Court for the latest criminal paperwork. My wife, I’ve already been informed, will not miss the midnight dashes – and bicycle rides, when necessary – to the scene of a fire across town. To all who have given of their time in interviews and support in both personal and professional friendships, I cannot say thank you enough. You made the job more enjoyable than it already was.

n the early morning hours of April 15, 1912, the RMS Titanic, the largest ship afloat at the time, sank after striking an iceberg the night before, ultimately resulting in the deaths of 1,514 individuals. Students enrolled in Marywood University’s new public history program know the story of the tragic

maiden voyage well after digging through archival photographs and historic documents as they prepared “Titanic: Explore the Legend and 100 Years of History,” an exhibit opening at the Everhart Museum today, Sunday, April 15. “Intro to Museum and Archives,” the first of several planned courses in the new program, began in midJanuary, and it didn’t take long for the four enrolled students, includ-

ing Ryan Kearney, to decide what they would examine. “There was no discussion,” Everhart Museum Executive Director Cara Sutherland said with a laugh. The sinking of the ill-fated White Star Line vessel was an easy choice over other notable anniversaries, including the 50th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe’s death and the bicenSee TITANIC, Page 16

Holden: No time now for a debate

NEWS

ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

U.S. Rep. Tim Holden, in the midst of a competitive primary battle against fellow Democrat Matt Cartwright, said Tuesday there will be no formal debates against his challenger before the April 24 primary. Citing his job duties as a 10term congressman plus the rigors of campaigning against a rare primary election opponent, Holden said he doesn’t have the time to debate. He also said he believes the public has a pretty good idea thanks to news media and campaign efforts where both candidates stand on the issues.

The decision is a digression from the Holden campaign’s comments made on March 15. At that time, Eric Nagy, a campaign spokesman, said while Cartwright’s request for a debate in all six counties in the 17th Congressional District was not feasible, one debate was likely. “Here’s the problem I have. I do not have the luxury of missing work,” said Holden, 55, of St. Clair, Schuylkill County. “The people of this district elected me to do a job … These two weeks during Congressional Easter break are the only two weeks I’ve had home full time. I’ve had a jam-packed schedule

and I’ve got to go back to work Monday morning, we’re in session.” When asked why no debate could be held on a weekend or at night in the next two weeks, Holden said it was a scheduling issue. “I don’t know what his schedule looks like, but I’m booked right through this election,” Holden said. Holden said that in the occurrences when the two have appeared together, at political committee endorsement sessions, he said the party supporters have backed him. Cartwright, 50, of Moosic, was critical of Holden’s decision

when contacted Tuesday. “I don’t know what to say about a man who will circulate vicious falsehoods on television about me and my family and then refuse to face me in person,” Cartwright said. “He can’t defend his record of voting to create the Halliburton loophole and against health care reform even though he has access to the best health care in the world. “He’s hiding from his own record and it’s a disservice to the people of the 17th District. Period.” Shane Seaver, a spokesman for the Cartwright campaign, said he reached out to Eric Nagy, his counterpart at the Holden

camp, two weeks ago on setting up debates and never got a response. He said Cartwright is willing and able to shuffle his schedule any time leading up to the primary to debate Holden. The Democratic Primary will be crucial in determining who the district’s representative in Washington will be the next two years. The winner of the Democratic primary will likely face Laureen Cummings of Old Forge in the November general election. Cummings is the only Republican on the ballot. But the district registration breakdown favors Democrats by a better than 5 to 3 margin.

17TH DISTRICT RACE

Cartwright touts his mission ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – In the courtroom, attorney Matt Cartwright said he gets satisfaction from defending the rights of citizens and making sure their voices are not drowned out by big corporations that can use their financial might to gain advantage. If elected to Congress, Cartwright, 50, said the venue might change, but his mission would not. “Northeastern Pennsylvania needs a strong voice in Congress. Northeastern Pennsylvania needs a real Democrat to speak up for it. Somebody who believes in the things Franklin Roosevelt did for this nation,” Cartwright told a group of Times Leader reporters and editors during an interview Monday. He said taking on 20-year incumbent U.S. Rep. Tim Holden, a fellow Democrat who is the dean of the party’s Pennsylvania congressional delegation, was not a decision he made lightly. But when looking at what was going on in Washington, looking into Holden’s voting history, and seeing how the new 17th Congressional District was redrawn, he couldn’t pass up the opportunity. The redistricting, approved by a state legislative panel in December, placed Scranton and Wilkes-Barre in the same congressional district as Holden’s. Both are areas where Cartwright, a partner with the Munley, Munley & Cartwright law firm, is a recognized figure. And, Cartwright noted, the new district “comes gift-wrapped with an incumbent that nobody here has ever voted for.” Holden, who visited The Times Leader last week, contends that two decades of appearing on the television news in the Scranton/Wilkes-

Barre market, which includes Schuylkill County where he lives, has made his name wellknown throughout most of the district. An internal poll, released Monday by the Cartwright campaign and conducted by Cartwright Thirty Ninth Street Strategies, showed Cartwright leading Holden among 600 likely Democratic primary voters in the17th by a 42 to 36 percent margin. In February, according to the poll, Holden had a 41to 25 percent lead. Both men had 51 percent favorability ratings in the poll, which was conducted April 2-5 and had a margin of error of +/- 4 percent. Cartwright, of Moosic, said he has heard from people on the campaign trail that “they like that a local person is running, someone that they’ve heard of.” Holden, from St. Clair, said what he may lack in name recognition will be counterbalanced by elected officials and political party officials who have endorsed him and will do their part getting his message out on his behalf. Cartwright said his campaign is supported by voters, everyday citizens from throughout the region who are contributing small amounts of money so he can get his message across. “I’m raising it from friends, family, relatives, neighbors,” he said, adding that Holden is supported by corporate donors and political action committees, something Cartwright pledged to limit if elected. Cartwright made it clear that he believed Holden “is a Democrat in name only” and chided the party for being too complicit with Republican presidents and congressmen.

Cummings introduces herself ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Though she faces no primary election opponent, Laureen Cummings wanted to introduce herself to Luzerne County voters Wednesday and explain why she hopes to serve the state’s 17th District in Congress next year. The Republican from Old Forge had entered the U.S. Senate race last year to try to unseat Bob Casey, D-Scranton, but the state Republican Party approached her in December after redistricting maps were approved and asked her to instead run for the House. She obliged and will likely face the winner of the Democratic primary contest between incumbent U.S. Rep. Tim Holden, D-St. Clair, and Moosic attorney Matt Cartwright. Speaking in front of the county courthouse, Cummings said that even with a huge registration disparity between Democrats and Republicans in the six-county district, she believes issues, not party, will matter most. As one of the founders of the Scranton Tea Party, she said the goal is to protect the Constitution and change Washington. “We don’t believe in Republi-

can or Democrat. We believe in the American people,” said the 47year-old mother of four and grandmother of three. She fought Cummings hard to get U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta elected two years ago when much of Lackawanna and Luzerne counties were located in the 11th Congressional District, and she said she was proud of the campaign that defeated long-time incumbent Democrat Paul Kanjorski. But the lines were redrawn and Barletta’s district was shifted south, leaving people such as Cummings with another uphill battle to try to unseat another entrenched Democratic representative. Cummings, who owns Lorimar Home Care, a private duty nursing and staffing agency in Old Forge, said her platform is to “stop out-of-control spending” and to make sure government operates on a smaller scale but keeps a closer eye on upholding the Constitution. The 17th District serves all or portions of Lackawanna, Luzerne, Northampton, Monroe, Carbon and Schuylkill counties.

LACKAWANNA COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com

SCRANTON – Lackawanna County Commissioners unanimously adopted an ordinance on April 11 to impose a fee on unconventional gas wells within the county. The fee “on each and every unconventional gas well spud,” or the actual start of drilling of an unconventional gas well, is pursuant to Act 13, adopted by the state legislature and signed into law by Gov. Tom Corbett in February. Commissioners unanimously approved the first reading of the ordinance on March 28, albeit begrudgingly. “I don’t think any one of us are huge fans of the ordinance, but they kind of have our hands tied right now to go forward with it. I think we’ve heard that outcry from throughout the state of Pennsylvania,” Commissioner Jim Wansacz said. Wansacz added that he felt it must be enacted in the hopes of the state legisla-

ture later gaining some “common sense” and drafting a more favorable ordinance in the future. “We really don’t have a choice in this matter. The state gave us the option to either adopt this and potentially receive some money from any wells in Lackawanna County or not to adopt it and receive no money if there are any wells to be drilled in Lackawanna County,” county solicitor Don Frederickson added, saying that even the formula for calculating the fee is “ridiculous.” Commissioner Corey O’Brien felt that Marcellus Shale exploration could provide “great benefit” to the county, but warned that “potential environmental risks” must be balanced with economic development. “While Marcellus Shale exploration continues to be minimal in our county today, we need to take this action to protect our community moving forward. While there is a great deal of excitement about Shale, we must heed the historical, envi-

ronmental, and infrastructure impact lessons learned by our area with anthracite coal mining,” O’Brien said. “We’re confident that we can enjoy the economic benefits of Marcellus Shale exploration while protecting the environment and infrastructure with proper planning and federal and state support moving forward.” Commissioner Pat O’Malley echoed O’Brien’s sentiments. “I think there’re some major pluses with Marcellus Shale, but then there’s also the negativity that I’ve always been concerned about…In our area, coal was king, and all of us lived through and know the scarring that was left over,” O’Malley said. “I believe that we’ve just got to make sure that we have the proper safeguards on this. We’ve got to make sure that this doesn’t happen to our community again…One thing for sure is you cannot drink money, so make sure your water and your soil is protected and make sure the people of your counties are protected too.”

Public meeting expected by mid-week, Stadium Authority vote to follow TOM ROBINSON and RICH HOWELLS Go Lackawanna staff

sume playing in Moosic in 2013 as part of a lease agreement that is included in the conditions of the sale. When the hearing is held, Commissioner Jim Wansacz said it will be at night to better accommodate the public. Details will be listed on the county’s website and in local media. In anticipation of the sales agreement, the construction manager was authorized to begin project mobilization April 6. Work needs to begin soon in order to be completed in time for the opening of the 2013 season in April. Commissioner Corey O’Brien said that work will not begin until after the public review and Stadium Authority meeting. “Baseball is very important, obviously,” Wansacz said Wednesday. “We’ve been working very hard. We believe that we are very close, but we are still working out some of the finer, finer points to be able to present to the public. “The last thing that we want

to do is turn around and present some information and then (have) the deal change.” “We’re really reducing to writing the issues that we have been discussing and the details we have been discussing, so that process continues among the lawyers for all sides that will continue to reduce to writing all of the detail issues that were not covered in the memorandum of understanding, but that go a step deeper into the details to make an agreement possible,” Commissioner Corey O’Brien added. The notice of the planned Stadium Authority meeting stated another purpose of the meeting was to amend the Articles of Incorporation to increase the Authority’s charter by an additional 50 years. The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees are in the process of playing their entire 2012 season away from Moosic. They are using six different stadiums for “home” games during the season.

Parties continued to inch closer to finalizing the sale of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees Triple-A baseball franchise throughout the last week, but a Lackawanna County Multi-Purpose Stadium Authority meeting that had been called for Tuesday morning will be pushed back, probably until later this week. The Stadium Authority had called the meeting to review, consider and take action on the proposed definitive agreement between Lackawanna County and SWB Yankees LLC, a joint venture of the New York Yankees and the Mandalay Entertainment Group.

The contract for that sale would not be available in time for the Tuesday meeting. Lackawanna County Communications Director Joe D’Arienzo said late Friday that necessary papers have been prepared and negotiations are complete as long as each side agrees to what has been put down in writing. “Everybody has not yet reviewed on paper what has been said in the meetings,” he said. Lackawanna County Commissioners had announced during their Wednesday meeting that a public hearing and the Stadium Authority meeting would be held early this week regarding the sale of the team. Early estimates from the commissioners were that a public hearing could be held Monday with a vote by the Stadium Authority on Tuesday. Completion of the $14.6 million sale is required to complete the funding of the reconstruction of PNC Field, which would allow the team to re-

SCRANTON – Lackawanna County Commissioners unanimously approved another Keystone Opportunity Zone in Archbald on April 11 to make way for a new business park. A KOZ is a defined commercial or industrial area where the property and business owners are granted a reduced or tax-free status for 10 years. The state Department of Economic and Community Development saw the success of the KOZ program at the Jessup Small Business Center and the Valley View Business Park, Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce Vice President Andrew Skrip said, and asked the chamber’s industrial development arm, the Scranton Lackawanna Industrial Building Company, to submit an application for one of the four new KOZs in Pennsylvania. “I will note that this is undeveloped, mine-scarred property totaling 259 acres. We’ll be meeting with Archbald borough and the Valley View School District later this week and next week because we need their approvals also. We need the approvals of the three taxing bodies,” Skrip said. “I don’t have an exact number for Phase I and Phase II of the Archbald Business Parks, but I can easily say about 1,000 jobs will be created once it’s fully developed.” The tax exemption on the property is set to begin on Jan. 1, 2013 and to terminate Dec. 31, 2022. “Keystone Opportunity Zones are critically important to our ability to retain jobs in Lackawanna County and to create new jobs in our county by bringing in new employers. We are competing daily with counties not only throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, but throughout the country, and we’re competing with the incentives that they provide,” Commissioner Corey O’Brien said. “When companies call Lackawanna County, one of the first things they ask is do we have KOZ space available…This program is critically important so that we can compete.”

Founded in 2004 by Hill Section residents Tom and Betty Moreken, the Tour de Scranton serves as a fundraiser for the Erin Jessica Moreken Drug and Alcohol Treatment Fund.

The non-competitive ride has continued to be successful because of its goal to help others battle addition. “It seems the cause is something everyone has a connection to. Everyone seems to know someone in the family or a friend who has suffered from

the disease of addiction,” she said. Tour de Scranton began with two routes and grew to five in 2009, including the 100-kilometer metric century. The event also includes a four-mile, round trip walk along the Lackawanna River Heritage Trail that was first introduced last year. “We really want to encourage people to come out and do that because we know that not everyone has a bike,” Mrs. Moreken explained. “Everyone can participate, and it really is a beautiful walk.” The ride welcomed 400 par-

ticipants last year, tying a previous attendance record, and welcomed Mr. and Mrs. Moreken’s sons, 36-year-old Todd and 33year-old Tim, for the first time. “They were kind of overwhelmed by the whole thing,” Mrs. Moreken said this week. “They didn’t know what to expect… They were quite busy and quite impressed.” Now, nearly10 years after losing her daughter, Mrs. Moreken hopes the event is making a positive impact in her memory. “I think Erin would be very proud of what we’re doing to try to help other young people, especially women. Women who get involved with drugs and alcohol, they face a lot of terrible obstacles,” she said. “We’re trying to help people at a young age so that they don’t get into their 20s and 30s and still find that they have a problem. “It’s a real uphill climb for a lot of these people, and they need all of the help that anyone can give them.”

SCRANTON CITY COUNCIL

RICH HOWELLS PHOTO

Council President Janet Evens said the parking transaction tax is one of several intended to be enacted.

RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com

SCRANTON – City Council unanimously introduced an ordinance imposing a 15 percent tax upon each parking transaction by operators of parking lots and garages throughout the city and establishing annual license fees of $1 per space. Lots and garages owned by the Scranton Parking Authority will be exempt, and Councilman Pat Rogan noted that business owners will also be exempt for parking spaces provided to their customers at no charge. The city treasurer will receive the fees and related fines while the director of Licensing, Inspections, and Permits will enforce the ordinance. “By ordinance, a parking lot is defined as ‘any place within the city of Scranton, whether wholly or partially enclosed or open, including a garage or enclosed building, at which motor vehicles are parked or stored for any period of time in return for a consideration,’” Council President Janet Evans explained, citing the legislation. “Further, an operator is defined as ‘any person conducting the operation of a parking lot or receiving the consideration for the parking or storage of motor vehicles as such parking lot, including…any governmental body, governmental subdivision, municipal corporation,

public authority, nonprofit corporation, or any person operating as an agent of one of the above.’” Rogan and Council Solicitor Boyd Hughes, who helped draft the legislation, felt the Parking Authority should be taxed, but Hughes found that the city of Pittsburgh attempted a similar tax on its authority and it was struck down in court. Non-profit organizations such as the University of Scranton, however, should be eligible, Hughes said. In the original Recovery Plan that was sent to council by the Pennsylvania Economy League, the new parking tax was estimated to generate around $630,000, Council Vice President Frank Joyce said, but in the city’s 2012 budget, it’s marked for $500,000 after speaking with Business Administrator Ryan McGowan. Evans said council hopes to enact an amusement tax in the coming months, a commuter tax in 2013, and a payroll tax, which will require the assistance of state legislatures. Council also supports installing a new “smart” electronic parking meter system and the sale or lease of Parking Authority garages to generate additional revenue. In other business, council unanimously approved $84,412 in federal funds for homeless assistance programs and established a no parking zone in the 700 block of Cedar Avenue.

SOUTH ABINGTON TOWNSHIP - An assistant Abington Heights seventh and eighth grade baseball coach allegedly admitted to police that he “crossed the line” when he asked a 12-year-old female player to bring her yoga pants and underwear “to baseball practice in a bag and leave them under his car,” according to a criminal affidavit. Gavin Joseph Cerco II, 25, of Clarks Summit, was charged with one count of corruption of minors by the Lackawanna County District Attorney’s Office and South Abington Township Police on April 5. Cerco allegedly sent a friend request to the pre-teen girl on the social network site, Facebook. The girl and Cerco chatted online for “approximately a week and a half.” The chats allegedly became “uncomfortable” when Cerco began asking the girl about “the type of underwear she wears under her yoga pants” and when he told the girl to leave the clothing items under his car. After learning of the alleged conduct, Abington Heights Superintendent Dr. Michael Mahon contacted police. He later told investigating officers that internal policy in the district prohibits coaches from “texting, e-mails, or social network contact” with student athletes. In a forensic interview at the Children’s Advocacy Center, the girl repeated the claims against Cerco. In an interview with police at the South Abington Police Department, Cerco allegedly told investigators that he “likes to dress in women’s clothing” and was “sick of going to the mall, buying women’s clothing, and returning it when he was done with them.” He confirmed to police that he had requested clothing items from the 12-year-old and that he

“had pictures of himself dressed in women’s clothing” that he planned to send to her from his cellular phone. Cerco also allegedly admitted that he “solicited another team member for Victoria’s Secret” yoga pants and that they were “at his residence in a pile of laundry.” Mahon confirmed that Cerco is no longer coaching at the school. “We’re very proud of the fact that the student spoke up and alerted us about the situation,” Mahon added in a phone interview on Monday. “Other than that, the charges speak for themselves.” Cerco was arraigned April 5 on the single charge of corruption of minors. According to court documents, he posted $75,000 bail on April 9. Charges were forwarded to the Lackawanna County Court of Common Pleas after an April 11 preliminary hearing.

SCRANTON – Student identification from the state’s accredited public and private colleges and universities are among the accepted forms of ID in Pennsylvania’s new law. Accepted forms of ID must also be current, show the individual’s name, photograph, and an expiration date. Since it won’t go into effect until the November General Election, colleges can change their student ID policies and add the expiration date. At least three universities with campuses in Lackawanna County indicated they would be making adjustments to have their IDs accepted at the polls. Fran Calpin, senior director of college relations at Keystone College in La Plume, said current student IDs do not have expiration dates, but the college is enacting plans to update the cards to conform to the new law. Marywood University in Dunmore is also going to add expiration dates to student IDs, though a school spokeswoman said those plans were already being discussed before the state law was signed. She said it was to insure current students were the ones using campus facilities such as the pool and fitness center. Student identification at Johnson College in Scranton displays a student’s anticipated year of graduation, but a spokeswoman for the college said it was up to the discretion of poll workers as to whether that was an acceptable “expiration date.” The college is considering adding expiration stickets to their IDs. Others aren’t taking additional measures to make college identifications fit the new voter requirements. Spokespersons for Lackawanna College; Baptist Bible College; the University of Scranton; and Penn State, which has a campus in Dunmore, said there are no formal plans to alter their IDs to fit the new law.

Voter ID law creates ‘hurdles’ Elderly, disabled among those expected to be most affected in the general election cycle CHRISTOPHER J HUGHES chughes@golackawanna.com

WAVERLY - Democrats who conducted a policy committee hearing Wednesday questioned the necessity of the voter identification law enacted last month and the struggles it could present to voters in the commonwealth, as did many of those who testified about the law at the Waverly Community House. Rep. Sid Michaels Kavulich, D-Taylor, requested the hearing in his home district and served as co-chairman. The law “slams the brakes” on progress made to provide greater access to the ability to vote to persons with disabilities, according to Keith Williams, Clarks Green Borough Council president and a community organizer for the Northeast Pennsylvania Center for Independent Living. “This is not the time that we want to shun any potential voter away,” Williams said. The law requires voters to carry a photo ID with an expiration date issued by an approved agency, including the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, an accredited state college or university, or the United

States government. It was immediately put into effect, but will not prevent voters in the April 24 primary election from casting their ballots. Williams testified that there are approximately 2 million people in the state with disabilities, a figure that represents “more than 20 percent” of potential voters. Those individuals, he added, are “twice as likely” to not possess a driver’s license, one of the most common forms of photo identification. Requirements that existed prior to the new law were “reasonable,” but the changes make voting more difficult. “Why take something that’s such a basic American right that we have and subject it to these hurdles and obstacles?” Williams asked. Desiree Hung, associate state director for advocacy for AARP Pennsylvania, added that the “extreme example of voter ID legislation” is similar to other pieces of legislation contested by the AARP in Tennessee, New Hampshire, Maine, Minnesota, and seven other states. “The photo identification law places a severe burden on older Pennsylvanian’s

fundamental right to vote,” Hung said, largely because older voters are “significantly less likely to have photo identification” when compared to other age groups. Hung told legislators that she has received an “average of 15 calls” per day questioning the law and how it may affect seniors. “This is denying the greatest generation the ability to vote,” Hung said. “Obviously, this issue is something that we think is a pretty important issue to the people of Pennsylvania, to the extent that we are preparing to file a lawsuit to try and prevent it from going into place because we think it violates people’s rights,” said Rep. Mike Sturla, D-Lancaster, committee chair. “It would place hurdle upon hurdle upon hurdle,”

Sturla said. “Instead of removing barriers, we’ve actually placed more barriers in the way here.” While Gov. Tom Corbett has classified the voter identification law as one that proactively addresses voter fraud, the instance of such cases in Pennsylvania are allegedly few and far between. Lackawanna County Director of Elections Marion Medalis said that in her 10 years in that role, there have been no cases of voter fraud or impersonation. Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski, D-Wilkes-Barre, said voter impersonation “technically doesn’t exist” given the low instance of cases – four among the more than 20 million votes cast since 2004. He classified the “illfated law” as “an act of supression” that has been “based on a false premise.” None of the 11 legislators who presided over Wednesday’s hearing approved the bill that became Act 19 of 2012 in March.

Riverside grad wins National Crafts Fellowship The soaring gothic cathedral in Chartres, France, inspired John Souter’s ceramic work, but he did not imagine he’d be seeing the real thing so soon. The senior at the University of the Arts and 2007 graduate of Riverside High School learned in March that he was one of 10 students nationwide selected for a 2012 Windgate Fellowship, one of the largest gifts to college students majoring in crafts in the country. The $15,000 grant will allow Souter to travel and study in France this summer as well as support his post-graduation work. Souter will spend a month in France, visiting the cathedral and traveling and exploring the French ceramics industry and tradition. When he returns to the United States will continue making art in Philadelphia, and is pursuing opportunities to work at Philadelphia’s Clay Studio as part of UArts’ work exchange.

NEWS BRIEFS Mellow’s guilty plea relocated to Scranton A federal judge on Wednesday ruled former state Sen. Robert Mellow’s guilty plea hearing will be held in Scranton instead of Philadelphia, where it was initially scheduled. U.S. District Judge Joel H. Slomsky, acting at the request of the U.S. Attorney’s Office, scheduled the hearing for 9 a.m. April 27 in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. In a related matter, Slomsky on Wednesday denied U.S. Attorney Peter J. Smith’s request to seal a letter he wrote to Slomsky requesting Mellow’s case be transferred to Scranton. Slomsky ordered the clerk of courts to unseal that document, as well as a letter Mellow’s attorney had written in response. In his letter seeking to transfer the hearing to Scranton, Smith noted Mellow is a wellknown public figure who served in the state Senate for 40 years. As such, his case is of great interest to residents in the Scranton area. Mellow’s attorney, Daniel Brier, objected to transferring the case, saying that Smith’s statement that the move is in the public interest is “unfounded and undermined by the government’s decision to file the request under seal.”

DeNaples received a license to operate Mount Airy Casino Resort but subsequently transferred majority ownership to trusts in the name of his children and grandchildren. The order that DeNaples resign from the bank boards takes effect 30 days after the decision is served to him. DeNaples was given 30 days after that to submit plans to sell or transfer enough shares of each institution that he would no longer hold a controlling interest. The order requires that the divested shares be transferred to third parties unrelated to DeNaples. The order applies to Dunmore-based First National Community Bancorp and Urban Financial Group Inc., of Bridgeport, Conn. In 2008, federal regulators barred DeNaples from serving as chairman of the FNCB board. His brother, Dominick L. DeNaples, now serves as chairman. TIMES LEADER STAFF

Taxing bodies eye PILOT payments RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com

munity is in strife, people need to get together as a group, as a family, to make things better,” Shrive continued. He said city, county, and school leaders were presented with a list of thousands of properties in a 26-page document that represent “multiple, multiple millions of dollars” in money not being collected in taxes from exempt organizations. “The total tax loss from taxexempt properties is $196,293,893,” Evans confirmed. “(Council Solicitor Boyd) Hughes presented examples of tax returns documenting profitable income and discussed legal cases in which success with tax-exempts was achieved. Thereafter, the city, county, and school district agreed to assign select employees to work jointly to compile additional necessary information to submit to the committee.” Board President Robert Lesh said he received reports from Shrive and King following the

meeting. “Any help from the non-profits as far as helping education due to the cruel budget cuts in Harrisburg would be a help. I hope they would understand that we’re not just holding our hand out for some cash. A lot of our kids end up going to their colleges.” The meeting, Lesh said, is an important start that he hopes proves fruitful. The district has lost “close to $6 million” in state and federal funding for public education in recent years, according to Lesh. Facing their own multi-million-dollar debt issues, county commissioners were forced to increase taxes by 38 percent in January, though Commissioner Jim Wansacz did not comment directly on whether or not the board of commissioners fully supported seeking PILOTs from non-profits. “This has never been discussed with all three of us sitting

NEWS

Members of all three of Scranton’s taxing bodies gathered together for the first time on April 4 to discuss seeking payments in lieu of taxes from the city’s colleges, universities, and non-profit organizations as a largely untapped source of revenue. With the city being forced to borrow another $1.5 million from the Workers’ Compensation Reserve Trust Fund to meet payroll last week, according to City Council, and weighing its options to pay down millions in debt, including declaring bankruptcy, the current council “supermajority” has called on nonprofits to pay their “fair share” during their first two years in office. Increasing PILOTs from $100,000 in 2009 to over $200,000 in 2010 and 2011, council was successful in raising the University of Scranton’s annual $110,000 contribution to

$175,000. Many other educational institutions have not responded to requests for financial assistance, Council President Janet Evans has noted. “Scranton taxpayers cannot afford and should not be asked to shoulder the city’s financial burdens alone while non-profits and those who enjoy costly services of our city remain untouched,” Evans said during council’s April 12 meeting. Atty. Jason Shrive, chair of the Scranton School District’s intergovernmental committee, attended the last week’s meeting with Superintendent William King. State and federal cuts have presented the district with the “most difficult financial straits the school district has ever faced,” Shrive said, and aid from non-profit agencies would prove incredibly helpful. “I know that they’re not required by law, but this is a community and they are members of the community. When that com-

there. We wanted to identify all the properties, which we did…I think that was the first thing, and I think we have some other ideas as well that we’ll be talking about in the future,” Wansacz said after the commissioners’ April 11 meeting. After council’s April 12 meeting, Evans stressed the need for a “joint effort” by all three taxing bodies in this initiative. “I hope that the commissioners are going to join us and choose to do the right thing because it’s a matter of tax fairness. We cannot continue to use the taxpayers as the infinite well of revenue because that well is drying up.” Shrive said officials adjourned the meeting with the intent to meet at least bi-monthly. Additionally, solicitors including Atty. John Minora from the school board and Hughes were asked to develop proposals on how to go about collecting PILOTs and meet again in May. “Following next month’s meeting, the three taxing bodies hope to announce the first joint steps that will be taken to generate revenue from tax-exempt properties,” Evans said.

Impressions Media papers win press awards

Go Lackawanna takes three first-place spots, 9 total. STEVE MOCARSKY smocarsky@timesleader.com

mpressions Media newspapers won 24 Keystone Press Awards this year for news, feature and sports stories, photos and columns, special projects and design in 2011.

The Times Leader took home three first-place awards, while weekly newspapers Go Lackawanna in Scranton captured nine total, with three first-place awards. The Abington Journal in Clarks Summit won five total awards, The Sunday Dispatch in Pittston took home four, and The Dallas Post earned three. The Abington Journal also was named the Sweepstakes winner for its division. “We’re proud to see all the news organizations of Impressions Media be recognized in the 2012 Keystone Press Awards. Our news organizations won a total of 24 awards including another sweepstakes award for The Abington Journal. That’s a three-peat for the Journal, the third year in a row that publication won the most award points in the division,” said Executive Editor Joe Butkiewicz. Butkiewicz said Times Leader staff “should take pride in winning first-place awards for the biggest stories of the year, winning two top awards for our outstanding news coverage of the flooding of last September. And sports staffer Derek Levarse won a first place award for his coverage of the Joe Paterno/Penn State football events,” he said. Times Leader staff won first place in the Spot News category for “Edge of Disaster” – a story with multiple

sidebars published on Sept. 9 about the evacuation and emergency preparations occurring throughout the Wyoming Valley in anticipation of severe flooding. Newspaper staff continued coverage the following day from a remote newsroom set up at a local hotel on high ground as the Susquehanna River crested at a record 42.66 feet and the powerful, muddy waters poured over its banks in several communities, inundating hundreds of homes and businesses and leaving behind a swath of destruction. The community had not seen such large-scale devastation since the flooding that followed Hurricane Agnes in 1972. For coverage of the Flood of 2011 and its aftermath, beginning with the Sept. 10 story “MOVE OVER, AGNES,” The Times Leader won a first-place award in the Ongoing News Coverage category. Levarse won first place in the

Sports Event Coverage category for his reporting on the Nittany Lions returning to the field after the ouster of iconic head football coach Joe Paterno in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse scandal.

In Division V, for non-daily newspapers with circulations over 10,000, Go Lackawanna staff captured first- and secondplace awards for Front Page Design. The staff also won firstplace for Ongoing News Coverage for a series of stories on a memorial to honor Dunmore native Carol Ann Drazba, the first American military woman killed in Vietnam. In the News Feature Story category, Go Lackawanna correspondent Stephanie Longo won first place for her story package examining Drazba’s

death, which occurred when a helicopter she was traveling in struck high-tension wires outside Saigon in 1966. Go Lackawanna staff writer Rich Howells won second place in Feature Writing and an honorable mention for Feature Beat Reporting. And Go Lackawanna sports writer Tom Robinson won second-place for Sports/Outdoor Column and an honorable mention for Sports Beat Reporting. Photographer Bill Tarutis won a first-place Sports Photo award for a photo in Go Lackawanna. Tarutis also won firstplace for a Photo Story in The Sunday Dispatch, first-place for Feature Photo in The Dallas Post and an honorable mention for Sports Photo in The Dallas Post, which competed in Division VII for non-dailies with circulation under 5,000. Dallas Post staff writer Sarah Hite captured first-place in the general news category for her story on holiday homes light-

ing up the Back Mountain.

formant. Dunmore Police said Culbert arranged the sales out of his Hilltop Manor apartment on Herbert Street on at least two occasions. When police executed a search warrant on the apartment on April 10, Culbert allegedly

told officers that “his family members had nothing to do with selling heroin” and that all drugs in the house belonged to him. Officers seized $525 in cash, 20 bags of suspected heroin, and two bags of suspected marijuana. Dunmore Chief Pat Reese and Ptlm.

Culbert was arraigned April 11 on three counts of possession with the intent to deliver a controlled substance, two counts of possession of a controlled substance, and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia.

Wilkes University is the place to teach if you can land a full-professorship and money is important, according to new college staff salary data. The average annual salary for a full professor at Wilkes is $100,300, the highest in the area, with the University of Scranton running a close second at $99,100. The figures come from the 2011-12 salary survey conducted by the American Association of University Professors and compiled into a searchable database by The Chronicle of Higher Education. The online database does not have information about King’s College. According to the Chronicle, the Association of University Professors is using this year’s data to combat claims that faculty salaries are causing rapid increases in college tuition rates. The survey of 1,251 institutions showed that the average salary for professors, associate professors and instructors rose by 1.8 percent in one year, less than the inflation rate and far less than tuition has been rising. Locally, the University of Scranton had the highest average for associate professors, $66,400. Misericordia University had the lowest average pay for full professors and associates, $69,600 and $56,000 respectively.

Penn State University full professors at the main campus averaged $132,100, the seventh highest among 84 Pennsylvania institutions surveyed. Associates averaged $89,200, and assistants averaged $76,100. The data does not break out other Penn State campuses, giving averages for “master’s level” and “baccalaureate” campuses. At master’s level campuses, full professors averaged $113,400, associates averaged $89,700, assistants averaged $74,200 and instructors averaged $55,300. At baccalaureate level campuses, the figures were $97,200, $76,900, $64,000 and $49,100, respectively. Both the Wilkes-Barre and Hazleton campuses are baccalaureate level. Local institutions fared well in the ratio of students to faculty members, falling well below the state average of 19 to 1. Wilkes and Marywood both had ratios of 14 to 1, while the ratio was 13 to 1 at the University of Scranton and 12 to 1 at Misericordia. The data looked at full-time faculty, not adjuncts who may teach only a course or two parttime. But the Association of University Professors did distinguish between “full-time and part-time staff with faculty status whose duties primarily include instruction, research and public service.”

tennial of the War of 1812. “It was the first of its kind,” 20-year-old Glen Mills native Kate Gaffney said of Titanic. “It had all of the new technology in it – light bulbs, wash bathrooms that were just coming out – and we had just transferred over to the steam engine. “It was something for its time, and it was even the end of an era, too. With our society and technology rapidly growing, we kind of felt like we were invincible in 1912 until this ship died,” the sophomore secondary education and political science major who is minoring in public history added. “We ended the Era of Elegance or the Edwardian Era and kind of entered an era of anxiety.” Similarly, freshman history major Allie Coppola, 19, of Dingmans Ferry, noted that ships were hardly used for luxury travel shortly after Titanic

IF YOU GO WHAT: ‘Titanic: Explore the Legend and 100 Years of History,’ anniversary exhibit assembled by Marywood University students WHEN: Mon., Thurs., Fri., noon to 4 p.m.; Sat., 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sun., noon to 5 p.m. WHERE: Everhart Museum, Gallery 13, 1901 Mulberry St., Scranton. COST: Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for senior citizens and students, $2 for children 6-12, and free for children under 5 and museum members. INFO: www.everhart-museum.org, (570) 346-7186.

sank as World War I developed in 1914. While many knew the basic history of the ship, many other details were uncovered during their research. Copolla, for example, said she learned much more about what happened to the victims, including gruesome details of ships chartered over the course of several weeks to cast nets and pull bodies from the Atlantic Ocean. “It amazed me that somebody came up with this idea for this floating palace, and then they were actually able to pull it off. It’s remarkable,” added 21-year-old senior history major Krista Ammirati, a native of North Babylon, N.Y. Equally remarkable, she added, was how avoidable the trag-

edy truly was. “There was so much that they could have done,” she said. “This tragedy could have been prevented if they just took a few extra measures – more lifeboats, paying attention to the radio signals – that maybe it would have survived.” Seeing students from Marywood fully immersed in a reallife history lesson has simply been fun for Sutherland. “This is an introduction, and it brings the idea that history doesn’t just happen in a university setting,” she said. “Public history allows you to work in archives and museums. We’ve been talking about all of the types of jobs available. “I think it’s fabulous that Marywood started this program,

which will eventually be six or seven courses.” It’s also given students more of a perspective on what public history truly means. “It’s what I imagined, but it’s definitely a lot more work – it’s text panels and putting things in frames and painting. It’s not just about the history, it’s about putting it together,” Gaffney said. “It’s invaluable. This is what I want to do with my life, something with public history in a museum or an archive. Having something like this under my belt will be a huge help in the future,” added Ammirati. Family members will attend a private reception on Saturday, April 21, but the exhibit in Gallery 13 on the second floor of the Everhart opens on the 100th anniversary of Titanic’s sinking. The re-release of the 1997 film in 3-D and the students’ own enthusiasm should bring in a crowd. “There’s this kind of ‘Titanic fever’ going on that I think will encourage people to come,” Ammirati said.

• William Arthur Lobb, 30, an engine driver for the Lackawanna Railroad Company in Scranton, and his wife Cordelia K. Lobb, 26, perished in the wreck. Both boarded Titanic in Southampton as third-class passengers. • Reginald “Harry” Rogers, 19, encouraged to immigrate to the United States by an uncle living in Wilkes-Barre. A second-class passenger who boarded at Southampton, he died in the wreck. • Youssiff Gerious, 45; Betros Khalil, 25, and his wife, Zahie “Marie” Khalil, 20; Hanna Elias Samaan, 40, and sons Elias, 17, and Youseff, 15; Charles R’ad Thomas, 31; and Antoni Yazbeck, 27, were all immigrants from Hardin, Lebanon, traveling to Wilkes-Barre. The third-class passengers boarded Titanic in Cherbourg, Franche, but died when the ship sank. • Borak Hanna, 20, a third-class passenger and immigrant from Lebanon who arrived in WilkesBarre a few days after the Carpathia docked in New York, was rescued in Lifeboat #15. • Omine Moubarek, 24, and her sons Gerios, 7, and Halim, boarded as third-class passengers in Cherbourg. They immigrated from Lebanon to Wilkes-Barre after being rescued in collapsible Lifeboat C. • Mantoura Boulos Moussa, 35, boarded Titanic in Cherbourg, destined for Wilkes-Barre. She was rescued in an unknown lifeboat. • Thamine “Thelma” Thomas, 16, and her infant son, Assad, were separated as Titanic sank. Assad’s uncle, Charles Thomas, passed the baby to a woman believed to be Edwinna Troutt on Lifeboat #16. Thelma, a passenger on Lifeboat #14, was reunited with her son aboard the Carpathia. • Selini Yazbeck, 15, wife of Antoni Yazbeck, survived after being rescued in collapsible Lifeboat C.

ric Bass, bassist and pianist for chart-topping rock band Shinedown, always knew that he wouldn’t be making a conventional living. Growing up in musical family, his mother a vocal and piano teacher, he learned to play piano and discovered

the guitar around the age of 12 or 13, learning all the Skid Row songs he could. He would soon take up drums in the high school marching band. “When I was a young teenager, I always knew that I was going to do something different…I wasn’t going to settle for a desk job,” Bass emphasized. “I came to the bass more from being

a producer and engineer in the recording studio and just kind of playing bass out of necessity and finding that a lot of these kids that come and play bass in the studio are just guitar players. They didn’t really have a bass sensibility, so I’d end up kind of having to go back with them and walk See SHINEDOWN, Page 20

In the early 1990s, the Lackawanna River Corridor Association saw a need for a new organization that could work exclusively in the Lackawanna River Watershed to establish land trust and promote conservation. The Lackawanna Valley Conservancy was incorporated on Aug. 7, 1995 to promote the conservation and preservation of the natural scenic, historical, and cultural resources in the Lackawanna River Watershed and nearby areas of northeastern Pennsylvania. It operates in affiliation with the Lackawanna River Corridor Association sharing office space and personnel. LVC works along the Lackawanna River and also in the North Pocono watershed of Spring Brook, Roaring Brook, and Stafford Meadow Brook to protect these natural landscapes, nearby agricultural lands, and private woodlands.

them through the process. So the bass kind of came to me in that way.” After playing in regional bands in the southeast, he found that he was more comfortable in the recording studio “on the other side of the glass,” spending about six years producing, engineering, and writing songs. When he was hired to work with Shinedown in 2007 on their third album, “The Sound of Madness,” their attitude and “commitment to excellence” made him reconsider the road after making an album that “needed to be made.” “Our personalities really worked together, and fast forward a couple months later, I get a phone call about the bass player position and kind of came out of retirement. When I got on stage with Shinedown for the first time, that was the first time I had been on stage in over six years,” Bass recalled. “My personality is one of, ‘Nothing’s ever good enough. There’s always another step to get to. There’s always something more you can do. There’s always another bar that you can reach.’ And I’ve done that in everything that I’ve ever done in my life, and anybody who knows (singer) Brent Smith and (drummer) Barry Kerch and (guitarist) Zach Myers, of course in the band, knows that our personalities are like it. It was just a perfect match.” The album spent 120 consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200 chart, but after finishing the “Anything and Everything” acoustic tour on Dec. 10, 2010, the group was right back in Los Angeles on Jan. 15, 2011 writing their next record, “Amaryllis,” released on March 27. The pressure was on to top their “juggernaut record,” but Bass’ fears quickly faded after the first song was completed. “For Brent and myself, ‘Enemies’ was the first song that we finished, and when that was done, when that first one was done, it was like, ‘OK, we can do this. It’s OK.’ You realize you haven’t forgotten how to do that…It became less about beating ‘The Sound of Madness’ and more about making, what would become ‘Amaryllis,’ the best record we could possibly make it,” he said. The productive session produced 34 songs, recording 17 and putting 12 on the final record. “The analogy of the amaryllis is that it’s a flower that blooms in the desert where it shouldn’t bloom. It grows in an area that it shouldn’t grow in and it blooms in a time of year when it shouldn’t bloom. There’s no other vegetation around, so it transcends and goes beyond and it’s unexpected,” he explained. This underlying theme of the underdog’s triumph can easily be heard in the band’s first single from the record, entitled “Bully.” “The subject of that came up and it was

like, ‘Let’s write a song about this.’ There was really nothing more than that, but it really became something that was really special to all of us because I was a band nerd when I was a kid. Zach got picked on when he was a kid. We’ve all had bullies in our lives. “At the end of the day, the song is more about survival. We’re not condoning violence, but we are condoning survival, and if you get picked on and somebody pushes you, I was always taught to push back.” Currently headlining the “Avalanche Tour” with Adelitas Way and Art of Dying, which stops Sunday, April 22 at the Scranton Cultural Center, Shinedown continues to push themselves with no end to their determination in sight. “There’s never been any ultimate goal endgame for me. Like I said, it’s always just raising the bar a little bit. Our record debuted at number four on the Billboard Top 200, whereas ‘Sound of Madness’ debuted at number eight. It’s one more step up,” Bass admitted. “I’m so blessed. We’re all so blessed to do what we do, and I think as long as we can sustain and keep a career and continue to play music for people and get that reaction from the crowd and the fans, I’ll be really happy. And just continue to climb. Yeah, you want to be one of he biggest bands in the world, and I think we’re working really hard at that right now.”

“You’ll carve your names into the Paupack Cliffs/ Just to read them when you get old enough to know that happiness is just a moment,” go the lyrics in “Gates,” a song on The Menzingers’ new album “On The Impossible Past.” It just goes to show that you

can take the band, currently touring America before heading to Europe at the end of the month, out of the Scranton area, but you can’t take the Scranton area out of the band. “There just influences so much,” guitarist/vocalist Tom May shared during a recent phone call before a show in Idaho. “On the new record, there

are several songs that reference people and places in Scranton; in fact, I think every single song has some reference.” The Philadelphia-based Menzingers — rounded out by guitarist/vocalist Greg Barnett, drummer Joe Godino and bassist Eric Keen — name checks the Pennsylvania Turnpike bridge in South Abington

Township and the Sun Hotel, a now-closed bar in Scranton that “used to let us drink there underage all the time,” May said. “Coming from a place like Scranton, where we still have so many friends and family, just shaped us as people,” he continSee MENZINGERS, Page 23

MENZINGERS Continued from page 21

WHAT: The Menzingers with Tigers Jaw, The Front Bottoms, The Holy Mess, and Luther WHEN: Thurs., April 19, 8 p.m. WHERE: Redwood Art Space, 740 Jumper Road, Plains Twp. INFO: www.facebook.com/themenzingers, redwoodartspace.tumblr.com

— The Menzingers guitarist/vocalist Tom May

“It really gives you a lot of confidence because these people have been doing this for so long and are one of the few big independent labels that have completely survived the downfall of the modernday label. They’re doing it right, and they believe in us, so it makes us believe in ourselves more.” Signing with Epitaph last spring changed the band’s recording process as well. “This one, we had a lot more time in the studio, so we were able to do all sorts of fine tuning that we normally weren’t able to do,” May said. “We had a lot more time to shape the songs into what they actually became than previously.” Unlike its first two records, which the band took months to write and collect songs for, The Menzingers wrote “On The Impossible Past” over the course of a few weeks as the four holed up in Barnett’s mother’s house in Lake

Ariel. The result is a 13-song outing that blends the band’s punk upbringing with emotive vocals that range from joyful to fraught — and true to the poignant lyrics. May credits that outcome to the group’s producer Matt Allison, who has worked with The Menzingers before and owns the Chicago studio where the album was recorded. “On The Impossible Past” has received much acclaim from out-

lets like Alternative Press, Kerrang! and PopMatters, something May said the band is “ecstatic” about. “It’s one of those things that I focused on since I was 17. For it to actually start happening, it’s definitely really surreal,” he shared. “It’s reaffirming … a lot of people seem to be saying very genuine things about the album, it’s so exciting, it’s incredible. “When we get an e-mail with a review in it, we get all thumbs and start laughing like a bunch of kids,” he confessed, laughing. May said the group’s less-thanobvious name isn’t as deep as some might think. “In actuality, it’s the phonetic spelling of the German word for a troubadour. There’s no great, ironic, genius name for it … but we’ve become traveling musicians, so I guess it makes sense,” he said with a laugh.

make it ourselves.” After the group’s demo landed in the hands of Go-Kart Records, its debut album, “A Lesson In The Abuse Of Information Technology,” soon followed. “We were like, ‘Oh, wait a minute. People actually like this music! We could totally tour and book it ourselves and do this music,’” May said. “Then we just wanted to keep chasing it, and we picked up and moved to Philadelphia — and now we’re here.” “On The Impossible Past,” the band’s first album with Epitaph Records, follows its 2007 Go-Kart debut and “Chamberlain Waits,” which was released via Red Scare Industries in 2010. May explained that being on Epitaph, a high-profile indie label that’s home to Bad Religion, Weezer and Pennywise, to name a few, has “definitely changed us for the better.”

Revolver Awards get it right Televised award ceremonies just bore the hell out of

ed by Twisted Sister’s Dee Snider and Halestorm’s Lzzy Hale. Unlike the usual idle red carpet chit-chat, these two knew what they were talking about, and it was fun to watch musicians talk to other musicians about music. When fashion did come up in conversation, it was thankfully in jest. In fact, once the event got rolling, it felt more like a concert than an awards ceremony. The floor of Club Nokia frequently opened up into mosh pits during live performances, which lasted much longer than the awards and speeches themselves. These performances, like in previous years, also led to some amazing once-in-a-lifetime collaborations, including Slash and Alice Cooper playing “School’s Out,” Trivium covering Metallica’s “Creeping Death” with Slipknot/Stone Sour singer Corey Taylor and Machine Head guitarist/vocalist Robb Flynn, and even Johnny Depp playing guitar on “The Beautiful People” with Marilyn Manson. None of it was pre-recorded, and while the sound could have been better for those viewing it at home, it was clear that there was no lip-syncing going on at this ceremony. The whole thing felt very genuine, actually, because it wasn’t about egos – it was about appreciating each other’s contributions to keeping this music alive. Many different generations who play many different varieties of metal were mingling and having a great time. Black

Veil Brides were even joined by Snider for a cover of “I Wanna Rock,” effectively legitimizing this new breed of young make-up clad upstarts. In all my years of going to shows, I’ve never known a more loyal or tight-knit community than the hard rock and metal scene, and that was on full display on Wednesday night. So while everyone felt like a winner, I’d remiss if I also didn’t talk about those who took home a golden piece of that radical rock. Professional wrestler and Fozzy singer Chris Jericho hosted again

this year and kept things moving with light humor, even smashing wrestling rival CM Punk’s award for Metal Athlete. Newcomers like Jeremy Spencer from Five Finger Death Punch took home Best Drummer and Avenged Sevenfold scored two more awards this year for Best Live Band and Most Dedicated Fans, but veterans like Slash and Rush were given their due, too, for Riff Lord and Lifetime Achievement, respectively. Even the great “Demon” himself Gene Simmons, winner of the Golden God,

But, as Motörhead singer Lemmy Kilmister pointed out on the black carpet leading into the fourth annual Revolver Golden Gods Awards in Los Angeles on April 11, they finally made an award show for the rest of us, and it’s “about time.” It’s a ceremony where a metal icon like Lemmy not only gets recognized, but shows up in the first place. The Golden Gods, shaped like gold-dipped slates from Stonehenge, are awarded to the biggest names in hard rock and heavy metal, chosen by the fans via Revolver magazine’s website. Rather than televise it after the fact on a VH1 channel that only certain cable subscribers receive, this year’s event was broadcast live on Xbox and Facebook. While it was a great improvement in terms of accessibility, the stream on my laptop ran behind and cut off towards the end. I did get to see a lot of great musical moments, however, preceded by some interesting interviews conduct-

me. I don’t watch the Academy Awards because I can’t sit through two hours of lame jokes and awkward speeches for 10 minutes of highlights, and I love music, which is exactly why I don’t watch the Grammys or the MTV Video Music Awards.

INFINITE IMPROBABILITY

shocked me with an uncharacteristically humble speech about following your dreams and appreciating your fans. If you can still surprise people after 39 years in the business, you deserve whatever accolades you receive. So I’ll extend my own to Revolver, the only magazine I currently subscribe to, for not only keeping rock journalism kicking and screaming, but for reminding us what music appreciation used to look like. The pre-show played more music videos in two hours than certain channels have in two years, including the world premiere of a “lost” track from Pantera’s vault that will be included on the now-defunct band’s 20th anniversary re-issue of “Vulgar Display Of Power.” They allowed fans, not shadowy critics, to decide who the winners were, and they invited guys like Damien Echols, one of the infamous “West Memphis Three” who was wrongfully imprisoned for murders he did not commit based on his penchant for heavy music, to speak directly to fans just like himself after his recent release. Revolver understands what it’s like to be a fan because they are fans, not because they hired someone to tell them what “the kids are into these days.” Whereas other awards shows reward hacks like Chris Brown for ratings, these guys kept it classy and fun. It was truly a great night for music in general, not just the hard stuff your mother still warns you about. The genre still embraces being on the outskirts, but at this rate of exposure, maybe in another four years the Golden Gods will play on regular television and receive more mainstream acceptance. Maybe your mother will even be watching it with you. On second thought, that’s just not metal enough.

Inner beauty a focus amid event offering reasonably priced prom dresses.

CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES chughes@golackawanna.com

CRANTON – After three years of paying top prices for prom dresses, 18-year-old Kara Zerby found herself poring over the racks inside Shopland Hall at the Scranton Cultural Center on Wednesday. The center again played host to Cinderella’s Closet, an event organized by the Junior League of Scranton that offers gently used prom gowns to local high school girls for $10. “Since freshman year, I’ve been buying hundreds of dollars in dresses, and they just sit in my closet. I thought I should take advantage of getting a $500 dress for $10,” Zerby said shortly after completing her purchase of a bright pink prom gown. “My mom was ecstatic. She said, ‘Finally, you learned!’” Zerby added with a laugh. Now in its ninth year, Cinderella’s Closet helps young women in northeastern Pennsylvania feel like the belle of the ball, and not just by providing reasonably priced gowns. Krista Pasko, of Lake Winola, chair of this year’s Cinderella’s Closet, said the organization also conducts ESTEEMtown, a self-esteem workshop for the hundreds of

girls that attend the event. “That’s our biggest goal through this event, to make these young woman aware of the importance of inner beauty and selfesteem,” Pasko said. That message wasn’t lost on 17-year-old Bekah Misiura, a senior at Canaan Christian Academy. “I think a lot of people feel a lot more stress because people look at them differently. I think we should be more unified as a society and instead of bringing people down, we should be building people up,” she said. Misiura was taking her second stop in three years at Cinderella’s Closet on Wednesday. She was shopping with her mother, Karen, who carried an armful of choices as Bekah waited in line for the dressing room holding an ocean blue dress. “Our tastes are not the same, so I just come for the ride,” Karen Misiura joked.

Sisters Abigail, 21, and Ana Pisanchyn, 17, a homeschooled senior attending Summit Christian Academy’s banquet next month, said sometimes, the key to finding a good dress is knowing what you’re not looking for. “I know that I don’t want poofy,” Ana, a Dalton resident, said. Still, neither could deny the benefit of the event. “With the economy the way that it is, there are so many benefits to buying a used dress. They’ve only been worn once,” Abigail Pisanchyn said. Abigail said she’d help Ana find an entire outfit, noting the tables lined with shoes and accessories waiting for them once they found the right dress. Cinderella’s Closet, Pasko noted, is not a fundraiser for the Junior League, but it does support an annual $500 scholarship given to a high school senior who fits the league’s mission of building a better community through volunteer efforts. The scholarship is distributed by the Scranton Area Foundation. The event featured about 2,000 dresses on Wednesday, and about 300 young women attended the event in 2011.

Sustained success is one of the true signs of excellence for sports teams. On the college and high school levels, players cycle through in stretches of four years or less, but tradition and strong coaching have been known to overcome that. Tradition even helps assure more talent is recruited in college while strong feeder systems in communities that thrive in particular sports keep fortifying the high school ranks. On the highest levels of profes-

KEEPING SCORE TOM ROBINSON sional sports, the powerhouse franchises create their own advantages, often in producing the financial stability to keep doing whatever is necessary to win. The best need to find ways to remain ahead of the game because rules on salaries and drafts tend to work toward leveling the playing field. The most difficult level of sports to sustain excellence, however, figures to be the minor leagues.

Annual lineups have turnover that is often greater than that on the college and high school level. In-season lineups go through upheaval that is more significant than on any other level because of the teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dual role of developing players for the future and having them available to fill every need for a parent team. Even the coaching staffs tend to change often as the top performers move up the ladder. Northeastern Pennsylvaniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s franchises have managed to defy the difficulty of the challenge. The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees won a record five straight divi-

sion titles in the International League, picking up their only league championship in 2008. That run came to an end last summer, however, along with a stretch of nine playoff appearances in 12 years. Spending this year on the road would seem to create a series of obstacles that make another winning season unlikely. That leaves it up to the WilkesBarre/Scranton Penguins to continue their excellence. The Penguins are still seeking that first Calder Cup championship, See ROBINSON, Page 35

The Giants have been climbing through the national rankings, reaching seventh this week with a deep pitching staff and their leadoff-hitting second baseman showing the way.

Scranton (20-2) rallied in extra innings twice in the 8-7, nine-inning victory in the opener. Freshman Catherine Galvin came within an out of a no-hitter in the 5-1 win in the second game. After Megan Hardy’s RBI single broke up the no-hitter with two outs in the seventh inning, Galvin closed out the win with her 13th strikeout. Kristen Williams drove in four of the runs and scored the other. Misericordia had leads of 3-0 in the first inning, 6-4 in the eighth and 7-6 in the ninth inning of the opener. Ashley Vosilla drove in three runs, including the game-winner. Kaitlin Frazza scored three times, including the winner.

but otherwise are showing the American Hockey League and its 30 member teams what it takes to remain among the top teams on an annual basis. The AHL regular-season is wrapping up this weekend with the playoffs beginning in the week ahead. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton will be part of the Calder Cup playoffs, where a little more than half the teams qualify, for the 10th straight year. Only the Milwaukee Admirals went into the weekend with a chance to match that accomplishment. The rival Binghamton Senators, for example, have the bragging rights of grabbing their first Calder Cup title last season. This season, they are the AHL’s worst team. The Penguins keep steadily turning out winners. A “winning” record in hockey is often misleading, with teams posting a “percentage” of better than .500 even with more losses than wins because of the way the sport lists overtime and shootout losses in separate columns. Those losses are treated like ties at the same

VALLEY VIEW ROLLING While North Pocono has climbed to the top this spring, Valley View teams have re-

mained there. The Cougars assumed sole possession of Lackawanna Division 2 leads in baseball and softball this week while remaining tied for first in Division 1 boys’ track. All three of those teams are unbeaten, combining with the 6-1 boys’ tennis team and the girls’ track team to give the school an 18-3 record in spring league events. All three unbeaten Valley View teams are trying to defend titles. The softball team, which reached the state Class AAA semifinal last year, has won 31 straight regular-season Division 2 games since losing the 2010 opener. The boys’ track team, which is pursuing its seventh straight division title, has won 44 straight Lackawanna Track Conference meets. Valley View took sole possession of first in baseball and softball Tuesday when it beat Dunmore in home games on adjacent fields. Bennett Hornung and Collin Ferguson combined on a five-hit shutout while Connor Kranick had three hits and three RBI in the baseball team’s 7-0 win over Dunmore. The Cougars then edged Mid Valley, 5-4, Thursday. The softball team posted a

opponents to one, two, and three runs. In Division 1 of the Lackawanna, North Pocono has pulled out a pair of wild one-run games. The Lady Trojans downed West Scranton, 14-4, and Abington Heights, 10-9, before shutting out Honesdale, 6-0, and edging Wallenpaupack, 11-10, in a meeting of unbeatens this week. The girls’ soccer team improved to 4-1 with a pair of shutouts, allowing just a single shot on goal in each game while beating Honesdale, 1-0, Wednesday and MMI Prep, 3-0, Friday. Mariana Azevedo scored the game-winner against Honesdale midway through the second half on an assist from Michelle Stefanelli. Desirae Santarsiero scored the first two goals before Stefanelli added the third against MMI. Alissa Kincel and Mallorie Deschaine had assists.
