YANKEES SALE APPROVED

Stadium Authority votes 4-1 for sale SCRANTON – Lackawanna County released ownership of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees baseball franchise Thursday, April 26 as a means to bring professional baseball back to PNC Field in Moosic. The Lackawanna County Multi-Purpose Stadium Authority approved the sale of the Triple-A baseball team to SWB Yan-

kees LLC in a deal that was often described as the best the county could make out of a difficult situation. Faced with a deteriorating stadium, and a less-than-favorable Memorandum of Understanding to sell the franchise, county officials and their lawyers worked over the past several months to negotiate key changes to the final agreement of the sale. That new agreement on the $14.6-million sale was ap-

proved by a 4-1 stadium authority vote Thursday. The sale allows for a $43-million reconstruction of PNC Field, which began Friday. The reconstruction will return the team to its Moosic home in 2013. Northeastern Pennsylvania is without International League baseball for the first time in 24 years, while the team plays this season on the See STADIUM, Page 12

SCRANTON – Lackawanna County officials released a new economic impact study that projects Triple-A baseball and a reconstructed stadium will infuse $9.4 million annually into the regional economy and have an estimated annual economic impact of $47 million. Triple-A baseball was estimated at a $6.6-million infusion and a $32.8-million im-

pact annually prior to the stadium reconstruction. The Lackawanna County Multi-Purpose Stadium Authority approved the sale of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees franchise to SWB Yankees LLC on Thursday, April 26.

Zach Watters, 18, of Olyphant

“I think it’s going to be good for the community. I think more people are going to want to come down to the stadium, because of the reconstruction.” Jordan Nicholoff, 18, of Old Forge

“I think it’s a good idea . I think it will attract more fans.” Vince Rebar, 18, of Throop

“I think it’s good for the area. I think it will get a lot more people in attendance.” Jimmy Malone, 17, of Dunmore

“I think it’s going to be real good for the area. Growing up, we had season tickets to the Red Barons and that’s where I learned to play baseball. Hopefully more kids will get to go out and see the Yankees when they’re back.” Ryan McGoff, 18, of Scranton

“I think it’s good for the area. When the new stadium is built and everything comes back, it will probably bring more people in for games.”

SCRANTON CITY COUNCIL

Council finds answers on borrowing RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com

SCRANTON–Followingapublic caucus with city and financial officialsonApril26,ScrantonCity Council is expected to authorize unfunded debt legislation that would approve up to $26.6 million in borrowing and refinancing that they had previous questioned. Bond Counsel Brian Koscelansky, Business Administrator Ryan McGowan, and financial adviser Michael Vind met with council before their regular meeting to assuage fears that Mayor Chris Doherty would be given “carte blanche” authority to borrow millionsofdollarswithoutcouncilapproval. In order to pay back 2011 debt, the city was approved to borrow $9.85 million by Senior Judge Jerome Cheslock of the Lackawanna County Court of Common Pleas on Jan. 27, but when the legislation was received by council earlier this month, Council Solicitor Boyd Hughes found the amount to be $26.6 million. In an April 17 letter to council,

Hughes listed 28 “issues” he had with the ordinance, including unclear language and unspecified costs, and recommended that the borrowing be reduced from $26.6 million to $14.52 million plus the underwriting costs and expenses of the project. Council would not place the legislation on its agenda for a vote until an explanation was given. Koscelansky told council on Thursday that the legislation would only approve the borrowing of $9.85 million and the refinancing of $8.6 million in existing debt for a total of $18.45 million; it is only “up to” $26.6 million that would be approved depending on interest rates, the pricing on the bonds, and other factors. “I am assuring council that the onlythingthisordinance(is)…only for the purposes of unfunded debt for funding the 2003 (Series) A, B, C, and D (bonds) and paying the costs. That’s the only thing. I wouldn’t give you an opinion at the end of the day that this was issued…under the ordinance for anything other than those purpos-

es,” Koscelansky said. Hughes said after the meeting that he was satisfied with the explanation and would recommend councilintroducingtheordinance during their May 3 meeting, though several citizens expressed concerns about borrowing more money considering the city’s current financial state. “This is something that is part of the 2012 budget, the unfunded debt and refinancing…We can’t walk away from this. We decided upon this back in December, that is what we were going to do,” Councilman Bob McGoff said. Parking tax approved During council’s regular meeting, council heard from Jerry Ferrario, a Scranton property owner seeking clarification on the parking tax ordinance introduced during their April 12 meeting. Ferrario asked if a landlord who provides a parking space to his tenant would be subject to the tax if the space were included in the rent, See COUNCIL, Page 9

Congressman Tim Holden is the Democratic incumbent in the 17th Congressional District lost to Democratic challenger Matt Cartwright of Moosic, Lackawanna County.

Holden can’t hang onto seat

By Andrew Sedar and Steve Mocarsky Times Leader

For the second consecutive congressional election, voters of Northeastern Pennsylvania have sent an entrenched U.S. House member packing. Matt Cartwright, a 50-yearold attorney from Moosic, defeated 20-year incumbent U.S. Rep. Tim Holden, D-St. Clair, on Tuesday, April 24 according to unofficial Democratic primary results for the 17th Congressional District. Cartwright received 33 to Holden’s 24,874, a 57 percent to 43 percent victory. Speaking to a throng of supporters packed into the Medallion Ball Room inside the Hilton Scranton Hotel on Tuesday night, Cartwright thanked voters and his family for getting him one step closer to Washington. Repeating a campaign slogan he used quite often he promised the district that “I’ll work for you.” He said Wall Street, oil companies and others who have corrupted the system will not find a

friend in him. He also promised not to be a quiet freshman in Congress. “I might just be one of 435 (House members), but I promise you I’ll be a loud one,” Cartwright said.

GOP opponent in fall His path to Washington still goes through Laureen Cummings, of Old Forge, who captured the Republican nomination Tuesday. But the district is heavily stocked with registered Democrats who have a 5-3 margin over Republicans, giving Cartwright a clear advantage Christopher Borick, a political science professor from Muhlenberg College near Allentown, said he wouldn’t call Cartwright’s victory “a major upset,” but it wasn’t a win he saw coming. Borick, a Throop resident, credited several factors for Cartwright’s win, among them the voter’s continued “palpable discontent right now with almost anything establishment.” “It says that voters in North-

eastern Pennsylvania, like a lot of the voters right now, aren’t going to give passes simply because (the incumbent’s) been there.” Two years ago, voters elected Lou Barletta over 13-term incumbent Paul E. Kanjorski and Tom Marino over two-term incumbent Chris Carney. But both of those victories were in the general elections. Having a long-term incumbent lose to a political newcomer from within his own party is not a common occurrence by any stretch. But his game plan was nearly flawless and had some help from an unlikely source, Republicans in the state Legislature who redrew the districts to make it more Democratic, which ate into Holden’s Blue Dog, moderate image he had built up over two decades. Borick said Cartwright did a good job getting his message out to voters and the redrawn 17th Congressional District, which included only 20 percent of Holden’s old district, also hurt Holden.

Prison Board discusses juvenile detention costs RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com

SCRANTON – In an ongoing effort to keep the costs of Lackawanna County government down, the Prison Board discussed the charges associated with housing juvenile offenders in outside facilities and the option of constructing a new juvenile detention facility to meet its needs during the Board of Managers meeting held on Wednesday, April 25. According to its monthly report, the Lackawanna County Juvenile Detention Center is currently detaining eight juveniles with one female being held in Tioga County. The maximum security facility is licensed to hold 10 detainees, but is only equipped to hold males and requires other facilities’ assistance when it exceeds capacity. During the month of March, one female was housed in Tioga County for four days at a rate of $223 per day for a total of $892. One female was also housed in Lancaster County for two days at a rate of $280.32 per day for a total of $560.64. By comparison, in March 2011, three females were housed for 29 days in Lancaster County for a total of $7,975. In March, one male was detained in Tioga County for five days at a rate of $223 per day for a total of $1,115, though one male was detained for Wyoming County for five days at a

rate of $225 per day for a total of $1,125. Lackawanna County is not alone in these consistent cost and capacity issues. Director of Juvenile Detention Cliff Hoffman noted that Luzerne County is sending both males and females to Lehigh County. The board brought up the option of building a new facility or retrofitting an existing county building, but Hoffman said that when the county looked into it four years ago, even building a small, 24-bed facility was estimated to cost at least $12 million to meet current standards and no grants were available for such projects. “When we tried to bring all the counties together to build a facility, because none of the counties can guarantee beds, we can’t guarantee any revenue. Because we can’t guarantee any revenue, then the cost is on us to construct it,” Commissioner Corey O’Brien explained. “We don’t have the funds available to construct that type of facility and have it large enough to accommodate anybody, including ourselves, so we needed the other counties’ participation in that in order to do that because the state won’t allow anyone to enter into an agreement. We couldn’t find a way that the other counties could actively participate in the funding of financing.”

and while Hughes responded that the purpose of the legislation was to mainly tax parking lots and garages only, his question would better be answered by the Law Department or Licensing, Inspections, and Permits. The ordinance imposes a 15 percent tax upon each parking transaction by operators of parking lots and garages located within the city and establishes annual license fees of $1 per space. Lots and garages owned by the Scranton Parking Authority are exempt. Councilman Pat Rogan suggested tabling the legislation until Ferrario’s question could be answered, but his motion to table died without a second. The ordinance was passed 4-1. .

Some season passes also offer additional discounts on parking and food, so that is something else to look for when deciding on the best possible deal. Another way to save is by signing up for emails, discounts and coupons on Facebook or directly on the park’s website. These savings could be as small as a coupon for a free hot dog or as much as free parking, which can get very costly. Dorney Park offers a discount when you purchase tickets online rather than at the gate. Adult tickets cost $48.99 at the gate, but only $39.99 when you buy them online. Kids’ tickets are also discounted online by $5, dropping from $29.99 to

Starting Tuesday, May 1 Giant Food Stores will be selling tickets for $15 off. Vouchers for free parking are available through June 30, when you purchase two regular admission tickets. Camel Beach also offers a discount when you purchase tickets online for $30.99 dropping from $36.99 at the gate. A season pass is $99 or $89 when you purchase four or more. Sno Cove tickets are $19.99 for adults and $16.99 for kids. An individual season pass is $99.

t’s that time of year again that families start to map out their summer vacations. With the price of gasoline on the rise and the current economic troubles, many people are opting out of weekly family vacations and spending money on day trips to amusement parks. It’s always a good idea to plan ahead for any trip, especially when there are tickets involved.

road to allow for the reconstruction. “You are going to be able to keep the team here in a stateof-the-art ballpark for 30 years – and possibly 50 years – in a deal that is better than what was originally negotiated,” said attorney Steven Labovitz, who led negotiations for the county. “We weren’t sure this was going to get done on time,” Lackawanna County commissioner Jim Wansacz said. Labovitz said there were times the negotiations were in serious danger of breaking down. SWB Yankees LLC, a joint venture of the New York Yankees and Mandalay Baseball Properties, made some key concessions, taking on part of the costs of maintenance and capital improvements to the stadium. “The biggest one was the issue the new commissioners raised,” Labovitz said. “They were very worried about where future capital improvements would come from. That was a very intense negotiation.” Labovitz told a crowd of about 100 at a public hearing Wednesday, April 25 at the Scranton Cultural Center that the Yankees have shown a com-

mitment to be here for the long-term. “They put their team on the road at the cost of millions of dollars,” Labovitz said. “They really want to be here. They would not have put in this much time and this much effort if they did not want to be here.” Not everyone was convinced. In the public comment section of the hearing, the reactions of 16 speakers were split nearly equally between positive and negative responses. Attorney John McGee, who led the push that resulted in Triple-A baseball arriving in northeastern Pennsylvania in 1989, spoke at that session and was the only member of the public to speak at the Thursday morning stadium authority meeting prior to the official vote. McGee, a former member of and solicitor for the authority, urged the stadium authority not to enter into the agreement without more binding contract language to specifi-

cally prevent the New York Yankees from taking the team out of the area. “I’m opposed to the sale because of the risk that the team can relocate,” McGee said. “I strongly urge you not to act until the New York Yankees enter into a non-relocation agreement that they entered into with their own city.” Christopher Munley was the only authority member to vote against the sale. “Right now, we have to put all our eggs into an LLC that could go under at any time,” Munley said. “Without the (New York) Yankees willing to sign, I am unwilling to vote on it.” Munley, however, conceded that “this agreement is light years ahead of where we were years ago.” The New York Yankees received an option to purchase the franchise in 2007 when former county commissioner Robert Cordaro negotiated the deal that produced an affiliation with the team in place of the Philadelphia Phillies and the former Scranton/WilkesBarre Red Barons. A Memorandum of Understanding with SWB Yankees LLC in November of 2010 created the groundwork for the deal that the new county commissioners insisted on improving before accepting.

ast week, doing something charitable was as easy as ordering a pizza, thanks to Pizza by Pappas. The downtown Scranton restaurant held its third annual Pizza for Autism Awareness Fundraiser on Tuesday and Wednesday, April 24 and 25. During the fundraiser 50 percent of the sales price of every pizza sold was donated to

the Northeast Regional Autism Center at Friendship House. “I would call it the easiest fundraiser in the world. All you have to do is come in and get lunch,” said Bill Sheakoski. Sheakoski, who owns Pizza by Pappas with his brother, Tom, said prior to this fundraiser the two tried more elaborate fundraisers, asking customers to do things like print out coupons, but realized their idea needed some tweak-

that are staples at all the runs, like the “H2 Oh My God,” a water pit, and the “PMS” (Pretty Muddy Stuff), the mud pit. Waves of teams will be sent out to run the course every 15 minutes starting at 8 a.m. on May 5. After the race, runners will have a chance to clean up, change, and enjoy a beverage and some entertainment with their teammates and friends. “It’s a festival atmosphere. People can hang out with their friends and family, a lot of people bring their family, it’s a family-friendly event,” said Gohsman. The first Dirty Girl was held last year in Wisconsin, originally with 3,000 available spots. After selling those 3,000 spots quicker than expected, an additional 3,000 spots were created that the group had no problem filling. Since then, the group has held a number of runs across the country, with each one bringing in a large turnout, and they’re expecting the same when they come to

PIZZA their customers know when it’s happening. Sheakoski said they have had luck getting the word out by passing out flyers, running print ads and going through social media outlets, but still stretch the fundraiser out to two days in an effort to give anyone who wishes a chance to participate. “A lot of times I would see fundraisers, and I’d see it on the news at 11 o’clock, and I’d think, ‘Oh that sounded so neat. I would have gone to that, but I didn’t know about it.’ So I said, ‘Why don’t we do it and have it for two days,’ and…historically the second day is always the busier day,” said Sheakoski. Judging by the money Pizza by Pappas has been able to raise, Sheakoski’s plan makes sense. The fundraiser brought in $13,700 combined over the first two years, and an estimated total of $5,200 this year. He said the restaurant has had similar luck in November when they run the same fundraiser for pancreatic cancer research. Both fundraisers began in 2010 when Sheakoski and his brother were looking for a way to give back to the community. After doing some research, they decided to raise money for these two charities. “It’s something that we looked into and felt they were both good causes,” said Sheakoski. The third annual Pizza for Autism Awareness Fundraiser may be over but Pizza by Pappas isn’t done collecting. They will have a collection jar on the counter through the month of April. For more information on Pizza by Pappas’ upcoming fundraisers, Sheakoski recommended visiting the restaurant’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ events/219450174825817/, calling 346.2290, or emailing charity@pizzabypappas.com.

During Cocktails by Moonlight, the CAC/NEPA presented their annual Child Advocate of the Year Awards. Among this year’s recipients was Riverside High School senior, Stephanie Tilberry. Tilberry, 18, of Taylor, received the inaugural Student Ambassador Award. She said she became aware of the CAC/NEPA, a private, nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide treatment and intervention of child physical and sexual abuse, last year when she was trying out for Miss Viking. Tilberry explained that one of the requirements for Miss Viking is to choose a local philanthropy group that the cheerleading squad will work with during the year . “I researched a couple places when I was trying out, and the advocacy center was just such a great cause, and I knew I wanted to work with them,” said Tilberry. “After I got Miss Viking last March, we started doing fundraisers with them.” Since then, Tilberry and the Riverside cheerleaders have put together a pancake breakfast, ice cream social, basket raffles and a t-shirt sale for CAC/NEPA. “Just things to let the community know they’re there, and help them out financially as much as we can,” said Tilberry.

Zaleski and Joe DeAntona voted in favor of the sale. “This hurts me,” Jenkins said. “I never wanted the team sold. “We were not left with many options after the agreement in 2007.” Should the Yankees try to move the team, the county would have the right to repurchase the franchise. Munley said the board will not give away those rights. “I have faith in the Yankees, they are a great organization,” Munley said, “but I don’t have any faith in Mandalay.” Under Mandalay’s direction, attendance has fallen in recent years to an all-time low in 2011. The management company has been criticized for high prices, the lack of promotions and being unwilling to try to connect with local fans. Kristen Rose, who had served as Scranton/WilkesBarre Yankees team president, stepped down last week and took a new position with Mandalay. County commissioner Corey O’Brien said he has been assured that when the team returns next season it will be with price points

Sunday, April 29, 2012 said, “one person’s spending becomes someone else’s income and some of the second person’s income is spent, becoming a third person’s income and so on.” The study showed that the Triple-A franchise spends $3,094,000 on the purchase of local goods and services annually and is expected to spend $4,458,000 in the future. Employment, associated with the team, is expected to rise from $2,148,302 annually to $2,750,077. Taxes, fees and stadium rentals will rise from $904,000 to $1,789,000 each year, according to the study. In addition to the future annual economic impact, the construction phase is expected to $23.5 million to the local economy – $17.5 million in employment and $6 million in the cost of materials.

that are cost-effective and family-friendly. He said Mandalay has acknowledged that previous plans were not effective. “It didn’t work,” O’Brien said. “We’ve been assured and re-assured that that whole philosophy is over and they are coming in with a new plan. “I think they can only succeed here through actions, not words, and I think they have taken some real good first steps.” The Yankees are leasing the stadium at $750,000 per year and have committed $15 million toward future stadium upgrades. Timlin said when the new-look stadium is unveiled, the team is likely to also have a new name. He said during the authority meeting that he has been assured by New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman that only the parent club will operate under the name Yankees in 2013. During Wednesday’s public hearing, attorney Gene Hickey of Moosic asked for assurances and clarifications that the stadium would return to its original intent as a multi-purpose facility and not just be for the Yankees use. County lawyers explained that such provisions are included in the sales agreement.

hen Conor O’Brien is asked what his favorite local concert was, he can’t simply pick just one. The first on his list was one of his first shows ever at 14-yearsold – Captain, We’re Sinking and The Menzingers at the now-defunct Cafe Metro in WilkesBarre. He had never been in a mosh pit before that show, and while the raw energy of the performance was not the catalyst for him opening The Vintage Theater, 119 Penn Ave., Scranton, which will exhibit Rhythm of the Region II on First Friday, May 4, it certainly sparked his interest. He goes on to talk about a show at Test Pattern, also long gone, where he worked a merchandise table, A Social State’s CD release show at his own venue, and an intimate, unplugged performance by River City Extension in that same spot. He hopes that his theater has had its own “substantial impact” on the local music scene. It clearly has made an impact on him. “What I’m noticing more so, and what is a good thing honestly, is that there seems to be a larger focus on original music again in this region in the past year or so. I’ve seen a lot of focus on that, and I don’t think we were the ones to necessarily cre-

he University of Scranton and the Scranton Cultural Center helped bring two literary characters to life for a group of children at the Taylor Community Library on Tuesday, April 24. Peter Alexander, of Linden, N.J., and Claxton Rabb, of East Orange,

N.J., who star as Frog and Toad in “A Year with Frog and Toad” at the Scranton Cultural Center and the University of Scranton’s McDade Center for Literary and Performing Arts this week, paid a visit to the library to entertain the children. The two read selections of “Frog and Toad,” sang several songs from the play, taught the children a song

and went through a brief acting exercise. “It was very good,” said Mariah Kumor. “I liked it when they were dancing and singing, and then showed us how to do it.” By Tuesday, the performance at the library was nothing for Alexander and Rabb, the two University of Scranton students had been per-

forming excerpts from the show for weeks at libraries and several area elementary schools leading up to the play’s opening on Friday, April 27. “It’s touring in the way that we’re going from the university’s stage (April 27 to 29) to the Scranton Cultural Center (May 1 to 2), and then See LEAP, Page 21

fter recording six fulllength albums, two EPs, and a DVD, selling over 800,000 units in the United States alone, Cristina Scabbia, one of two lead vocalists in the Italian goth metal outfit Lacuna Coil, will tell you that success comes from the heart. Always surrounded by music, coming from a large family where her brothers and sisters constantly listened to everything from rock to hip hop to traditional Italian music, Scabbia’s dream of performing in a band was realized when she was hired to sing back-up vocals for the group and was asked to join as a permanent member soon after. “I never took lessons, so basically I started because I was passionate about singing, and then I got better. I improved just by singing constantly, being on tour and recording, but I never did anything special to improve. I always try to sing with my heart more than with my technique. I’m trying to express my feelings through my voice, not really tell the world that I’m the best technical singer in the world,” said Scabbia. While some may judge her or her band based on her gender or her stunning appearance before she can even open her mouth, her obvious passion for her work, she hopes, will make people look deeper into her talent. “I think that happens in every circumstance in life, I mean, from advertisements, movies, anything you could possibly mention,” said Scabbia . “The body of a woman is beautiful, women are beautiful, so everyone will always be putting more attention on that, but as long as they recognize that I’m a good singer as well, that’s all that matters. I can’t help if the first thing that appears is my appearance. I just accept it, and so do the guys in the band because you cannot do anything about that.” Lacuna Coil, which translates to “Empty Spiral,” had little trouble breaking into the United States market, particularly during the 2004 Ozzfest, because of their unique sound, which includes complementary male and female vocals. “We think it’s something special because most other bands have one singer or they have two singers that are typical-

ly using a very feminine voice for the girl and a very growling, masculine voice for the guy. We both sing, so we both can sing aggressively, we can both sing more mellow, and that’s what makes the band special and different,” said Scabbia. Their latest album, “Dark Adrenaline,” debuted at number 15 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart, their highest yet, and sold almost 20,000 units in its first week. While their future as recording artists seems bright, the record was inspired by darker times in their personal lives. “We’re always inspired by our lives, and of course life is evolving, life is changing, new experiences are coming up, and most of them were not that positive, you know, because that’s part of life. And everything is reflected in the lyrics, so the songwriting was a little bit different because of the mood around the songwriting period, but not really the recording,” Scabbia admitted. “We knew that we wanted to have heavier guitars. We knew that we wanted to have a darker sound because of the lyrics and because of the moment we were living, so in that, yeah, it’s a completely different album.” The band plans to have a lot of fun, however, when they share the stage once again with Rob Zombie and Megadeth, a tour that is coming to the Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain on Saturday, May 12. “It’s going to be great for the fans that are coming because they’re going to be seeing a show with three bands that are playing completely different music, and this variety will make the show more dynamic and more interesting,” she emphasized. The band is also continuing their “Dark Legacy” tour around the country, celebrating 15 years with career-spanning sets that last over two hours. Playing songs both old and new lately has been “weird,” Scabbia said, but it also reminds her of what she has learned along the way, which happens to be one of the reasons she got the gig in the first place. “What I learned is that you have to keep it real, because no matter what you do, if you’re honest and you’re really playing and singing what you feel inside, people are going to follow you because they will see that you are the real deal.

You’re not a band put together by a label; you’re not a band put together for the business, so they will connect with you very, very easily,” she acknowledged. “The same thing is valid for the live show. If they see that you’re having a good time onstage, they are going to have a good time. And thank God we’ve been able to keep it fresh, evolving every

time without really changing our roots. They are still there and strong, and fans can feel it.” Scabbia and Lacuna Coil likely have another 15 years, at least, ahead, as she feels that there is so much more that they “need and want to do.” “When you feel that you’ve arrived, that means you’re done.”

the road, and rather than bringing in an outside theater company, which we do do, we thought why not utilize the talent in our own backyard.” So far, the partnership is proving beneficial for both parties involved, in addition to providing the Scranton Cultural Center with more talent to put on their schedule, it’s also offering students a chance to work on a professional stage. “It’s a unique experience for the university because they get to work with a real union crew on the main stage. We’ve never had a performance that wasn’t a national touring company on the main stage so to be able to have a local university perform on that is a first,” said Dickerson. In addition to the cast, which also includes several other University of Scranton students, some of Alexander and Rabb’s classmates are obtaining hands-on training behind the scenes, being allowed to work

“That’s only within the past decade or two. If you wanted to really do a heavy, heavy historical documentation of Scranton’s music history, you’d have to go back to the 1880s, to the vaudeville era…We’re giving respect to the people who created these venues and supported these venues. Without them, there would be no niche for us to fill,” he continued. “I feel that if you don’t preserve that, like anything in history, if you don’t learn from it, we’re never going to repeat the amazing things that they did and maybe we can learn a little and try to succeed where they might not have. Not that they failed, by any means, but just be able to preserve ourselves a little longer.” O’Brien facilitated Rhythm of the Region with Visual Arts Director Theresa O’Connor, who is also the exhibit’s curator. One aspect he is particularly excited to unveil is the wall of t-shirts from local bands.

back to the university (May 4 to 6), so it’s the biggest tour I’ve ever done,” joked Alexander. “We’ll call it a mini-tour,” added Rabb. “A Year with Frog and Toad” is based on Arnold Lobel’s children’s stories, which tells the story of a frog and toad that discover the benefits of true friendship. The musical was first performed on Broadway in 2003, and is being brought to the Scranton area through a partnership between the University of Scranton and the Scranton Cultural Center. “We were thinking of ways to foster a partnership, said Scranton Cultural Center’s Educational Outreach Manger Amy Dickerson. “We have this incredible university right up

Smeltzer and Smith will, appropriately, provide musical accompaniment while Michalowski hosts a live drawing session during the opening, further solidifying the notion that art and music are synergetic. “Also, a big heavy focus this year is venue-specific photography and memorabilia, so we have a small collection of stuff from the now resting-in-peace Test Pattern and Cafe Metropolis and others. I’m actually trying to collect memorabilia from places such as Cafe Del Sol and The Dome and The Staircase,” said O’Brien.

ate that spark, but I do feel we’ve had a big part in keeping it going and showing that you can be sustainable,” O’Brien explained. The now 20-year-old performing arts director co-founded The Vintage Theater just three years ago, and since then has been the host of over 1,000 different artists in 100s of different bands, with at least two of those bands scoring writeups in Rolling Stone magazine; some acts have since become nationally or even internationally renowned. “Honestly, we’re just capitalizing on how great a location Scranton really is and can be, in such close proximity to New York and Philly, and it’s not that far from D.C. and it’s not that far from Chicago,” said O’Brien . “And also, we do have a very cultivated music scene, I feel. We’ve just simply piggybacked on a really incredible scene, and if we’ve been able to be a part of that, I’m proud to say, ‘Yay!’ but that’s more for others to say.” The genres have ranged from rap to hip-hop to indie rock to hardcore to jazz to reggae to blues to punk to ska. O’Brien calls the local music scene “eclectic,” a word he also uses to describe the space itself, which blends an art gallery with a performance space and a café. This diversity led to an exhibit last year called Rhythm of the Region, whose goal was to show how the visual arts are

“That’s art. That’s a form of artwork, and it doesn’t have to be anything too complicated, but collectively, we just want to show through the power of numbers that for every shirt, that’s an average of four or five people and their passion and their music. The shirt is just a piece of merchandise, but it’s what stands behind it,” O’Brien emphasized. He relates to the bands not just as a fan, but as a venue owner, as he feels that both are facing similar issues to stay alive in today’s economy. “If one fails, we all fail. I don’t mean that just between venues and bands, I mean that between bands and bands, venues and venues,” he clarified. “Either A, people treat it too much like a business, or B, they treat it not enough. Once again, it’s a difficult balance.” But he stresses that it’s just as important for music lovers to support both as well. “Go to shows!” O’Brien exclaimed. “Go to shows that you don’t know. Don’t just go to your friends’ bands…It’s no more usually than five to seven dollars. You waste that on Starbucks…If you find a band you like, support them. Be a fan.” Because if they don’t, The Vintage Theater and the bands it supports may end up as just another part of Scranton’s musical history sooner rather than later. “We want to make sure that (closed venues) don’t fade from the spotlight and people remember why they were there and the role that they filled,” he said. “Maybe it’s wishful thinking that someday someone will do that for us.”

Scratchboard has a history in illustration; its precision translates well to magazines and books yet it is more versatile a medium than the older techniques of woodcut and engraving. This exhibit, which will be on display at New Visions Studio & Gallery May 4 through May 18, will also feature the work of Michael Swanson and Timmy Walsh. Swanson is a glass artist and has had recent shows featuring his artwork of blown, cast, slumped and fused glass in various galleries in Scranton, Clarks Summit, Tunkhannock and Wilkes-Barre. Graduating from Keystone College in 2006, he returned to Keystone College in 2010 to work as the Studio Tech for their expanding Glass program. Walsh started Camera For A Cure in 2008 when he was 6 years old. When Walsh was 5 years old his aunt was diagnosed with stage 3A lung cancer.

Hermanson will be on hand for the opening of the exhibit, and on Saturday May 5 at 1 p.m. for a live scratchboard demo. This event is free and open to the public.

Jeannine M Luby, owner of Laugh to Live!, will sponsor a celebration of the annual World Laughter Day, on Sunday, May 6 at Nay Aug Park in Scranton. World Laughter Day was started by Dr. Madan Kataria, a medical doctor and the founder of laughter yoga. Kataria said "When we laugh, we change. When we change, the world changes." "I believe, of course, that we should make time each day to laugh so that we can replenish our mind, body and spirit and

Celebrate Free Comic Book Day Looking back on the last several years, it’s hard to remember when the summer blockbuster movie season didn’t contain at least two or three multimillion-dollar superhero movies, but believe it or not, I grew up in a world where those big-budget adaptations were simply a pipe dream. Sure, we had a few “Batman” movies that quickly went downhill among other sporadic attempts, but I remember picking up my monthly issue of the nowonline-only Wizard magazine at the comic book shop and reading the “Casting Call” feature, wondering if I’d ever see an “X-Men” movie in my lifetime. It proposed casting choices for comic movies we never dreamed would happen, even correctly predicting that one day Patrick Stewart would be sitting in Professor X’s wheelchair. Instead of guessing how Hollywood could make a computer-generated Hulk appear real, fans are now taking bets on which tightsclad character will be optioned for the big screen treatment next. I may be dating myself, but that still amazes me. A majority of the most anticipated movies this summer, in fact, are based on a comic books, kicking off this week with “The Avengers” and followed by “Men in Black III,” “The Amazing Spider-Man,” and “The Dark Knight Rises.” Even films like “Prometheus,” “G.I. Joe: Retaliation,” and the “Total Recall” remake are tailor-made for science fiction fans, so while our wildest fanboy fantasies continue to go mainstream, I think it’s worth noting that its source material still exists and is also in need of financial support.

INFINITE IMPROBABILITY

RICH HOWELLS But on Free Comic Book Day, which falls on May 5 this year, comic shops aren’t asking for your money. In fact, as the name indicates, they’re giving away promotional comics to attract new readers and bring some back who may have strayed from the fold. Some stores even have creators on hand to sign their work; locally, my shop of preference, Comics on the Green, will have veteran Marvel and DC Comics artist Tom Derenick along with special promotions and face painting for the kids. The free comics this year star everyone from the Avengers to Peanuts to Superman to Mega Man to Transformers to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and sample stories featuring smaller names like X-O Manowar and the Hypernaturals are also being offered. If you don’t recognize the monikers that’s OK – the point is to expose you to something you never knew you were missing out on. Free Comic Book Day

started in 2002, coordinated by the country’s largest distributor, Diamond Comic Distributors, and supported by independent shops all over. This isn’t something you’re going to see at Barnes & Noble, and there’s a good reason for that – they don’t care whether you’re buying comics, movies, CDs, books, or e-readers, as long as they’re making a profit. The small shops, however, are doing this because they want you to love what they love, and there’s plenty of love to go around. The reasons these characters resonate with people in the movies are often the same reasons they have been beloved by generations of comic fans, except the comics give readers so much more. The stories are more varied, detailed, and complex, and they’re more fun because they have the ability to capture so much more creativity. The print pages are limited only by the creators’ imaginations, while live films will always be limited by real-world situations, such as time and budget constraints. Instead of being the guy who has to

whisper in the geek’s ear, asking who this guy or that guy is as they appear onscreen, it’s way more awesome to be the one in the know. But whereas my father grew up reading Captain America and Namor the Sub-Mariner, and I discovered comics through their animated counterparts in the ‘90s, kids today are too busy talking on their cell phones and shouting commands to their squadron of friends they never met over Xbox LIVE to do something “boring” like read. Sure, you have your bestsellers now and again, but sometimes you get “Harry Potter” and “The Hunger Games” and sometimes you get “Twilight,” so the quality undoubtedly varies. Even with e-readers and iPads, the only reading many children are doing is on the internet, which doesn’t always offer the best material. You might start on a mainstream comic like “Spider-Man,” but that simply opens you up to an entire universe of characters, and from there, a never-ending list of titles from all differ-

ent genres. Whether you appreciate great artistry or great writing, it’s all found in a comic, yet the medium forever hangs in the balance. The characters are becoming profitable entities, sure, but the books themselves are mostly supported by diehard fans. Just in my lifetime, I’ve seen the number of comic stores within a few miles of me drop from five to one, and I can count on one hand how many are still in this entire region currently. It may only be a matter of time before everything goes digital, and after that, no one knows how long sequential art will last when it’s viewed on your computer screen rather than in your hand. It’s no coincidence that Free Comic Book Day usually coincides with a major movie release, though film adaptations shouldn’t be your alternative to the original material – it should be your gateway into that work. People I grew up with who would be bored out of their skulls every time I brought up comics are now asking me to go with them to the next movie opening, so while I’m happy to oblige, I also have to remind them that they can borrow those graphic novels on my shelf any time. This may sound like an advertisement, but so be it – show your support by going to FreeComicBookDay.com and finding a participating store near you, or just go to your local comic shop any day of the week and ask the store owner for some recommendations. You’d be surprised how much exists out there for every taste, and you may be even more surprised to find how much you’ll learn from reading instead of watching. Not that I still don’t dream about a Silver Surfer or a Dr. Strange movie, mind you, but at least I’ll always have something to spark my imagination.

Holy Cross takes division title in tennis

By TOM ROBINSON For Go Lackawanna

Weather shortened the schedule throughout the week, but enough competition was conducted for one Lackawanna County team to win a title outright while six others clinched at least ties for division championships. Holy Cross locked up the Lackawanna League Division 3 boys’ tennis title. Abington Heights is assured of finishing no worse than a tie for first in Lackawanna Track Conference Division 1 girls and Lackawanna Division 1 boys’ tennis. Valley View, Scranton and Mid Valley clinched at least ties for first in the three boys’ divisions of the Lackawanna Track Conference. Scranton Prep clinched at least a tie in Lackawanna League Division 2 boys’ tennis. GIRLS’ TRACK Abington Heights had a big week, winning at Honesdale in league competition then taking the championship of the Lasagna Invitational Friday night, April 27, at Wyalusing Valley High School. The Lady Comets scored 108.5 points, well ahead of second-place Holy Redeemer’s 70 among 20 teams that scored points at Wyalusing. Holy Cross was seventh with 44 points and Valley View was eighth with 38 points. Alex Chapman won the shot put for Abington Heights, which piled up points in the relays with two wins and a second-place finish. Elisia Cadman, Kelsey O’Donnell, Isabelle Clauss and Lauren Hoyt won the 400 relay while Taylor Ross, Jenn Burke, Erin Jaeger and Brianna Jaeger won the 3200 relay. Cadman, Clauss and Erin Jaeger were also part of the second-place, 1600 relay team along with Missy Burke. Devan Kerecman of Holy Cross cleared 11 feet to win the pole vault.

BEARS TIE SERIES series 4-1. The win allowed Hershey to even up the bestof-five series at two games apiece and force a deciding Game 5 on Saturday, April 29, at the Mohegan Sun Arena. After watching their 2-0 series lead evaporate, the Penguins still weren’t hitting the panic button. “Now it’s a one game series,” defenseman Alexandre Picard said. “We don’t feel like there’s any momentum swings. We don’t believe in momentum. The way we’re thinking right now is it’s a one game series.”

For the second straight game, the Bears built a twogoal lead. On Friday, they did it with a tally late in the first period and another midway through the second. On Wednesday, the Penguins spotted the Bears a two-goal lead in the first period.

teammates, talk of the team’s potential accomplishments started early. Girls’ basketball in the Lackawanna League in general, and the Northern Division in particular, was near its peak when the 1986-87 season began. Valley View had been to the state Class AAA title game the season before. Wallenpaupack and Honesdale also had strong teams in a division from which Carbondale had emerged as a state champion and Mid Valley as a state finalist in the previous decade. The Lady Vikes still managed to roll through the regular-season schedule unbeaten, building momentum for their post-season run. When speaking to a gathering of about 60 at the banquet, assistant coach Frank Chisdock praised the players for the hard work and dedication that went into producing the team. There were reminders of other key contributions, including the community support which meant that the Lady Vikes had a larger cheering section than their opponents through each step of the playoff run. Coaches, from other sports in the Riverside athletic program and from Northern Division rivals, pitched in to travel around the state gathering scouting reports on upcoming opponents. The championship dream nearly came to an end early in the state tournament when the Lady Vikes had an off night, faced a double-figures deficit and still found themselves behind deep into a game against South Williamsport.

The comeback that night is one of the things I remember most from covering Riverside’s state championship run. It may have helped prepare the team for handling the eight-point deficit it faced against a talented Bishop Guilfoyle team from Altoona at the Hersheypark Arena in the Friday afternoon championship game March 27, 1987. A power outage in Taylor briefly cut off the fans back at home from the radio broadcast as the comeback started adding to the drama for those who could not make the trip. Ozark came off the bench to hit a long shot from the wing in the days before 3-pointers and Sporer completed the comeback with a steal and length-ofthe-court drive. Head coach Tom Nageli recalled ultimately being thankful that the noise from the crowd prevented his players from hearing his call for a timeout. Instead, they took a tie game into their own hands in the closing seconds. Nageli pointed out that all five players touched the ball on the gamewinning play. It ended with the three senior leaders. Sporer got the ball ahead to Oustrich on the right wing. Oustrich found Lisowski cutting under the basket from the left side with four seconds left for the last of her gamehigh 18 points and a 46-44 victory. The celebration had to wait through a timeout and one last defensive stop. When it was over, the team returned from Hershey the next morning for a trolley ride through Moosic and Taylor as the state champions were saluted. Twenty-five years later, it was a treat for many who were there to remember those days again.

came down and scored,” he said. “On both nights we had good starts.” Hershey’s first goal came after Picard just missed the net on a two-on-one chance. The Bears rushed back the other way and connected when a Zach Miskovic pass deflected off Cameron Schilling’s leg and past Brad Thiessen to make it 1-0. Both Hershey goals came on the power play, while the Penguins faltered with the man advantage, blanking on six opportunities through the first two periods. But just like Game 3, the Penguins chipped away at the Hershey lead. This time it was Jason Williams, who poked in an Alex Grant pass from across the crease to cut the Bears’ lead to 2-1 with two minutes left

in the second period. The Penguins received another boost in the waning seconds when Schilling was called for cross-checking at 19:29, allowing plenty of power play time to carry over into the third period. The Penguins failed to capitalize on the power play – their seventh -- and Grant said they missed an opportunity to seize control and mount a comeback. “To get that goal in the second should’ve sparked us a little more than it did,” he said. “We had to come out in the third and really, really step it up. Unfortunately we didn’t do that.” The Bears power play stepped up for a third time when a miscue by Eric Tangradi led to a 3-1 Hershey lead. Tangradi was whistled for unsportsmanlike conduct at the midway point of the third period after he shot the puck at Hershey’s Jacob Micflikier after the whistle.

“We can use some better judgment there,” Hynes said. On the ensuing power play, Ryan Potulny launched a slapshot from the top of the slot that Boyd Kane deflected past Thiessen for the two-goal lead. The Penguins got another power play opportunity with seven minutes left but couldn’t get the puck past Dany Sabourin, who stopped 22 of the 23 shots he faced. Picard said Thiessen wasn’t at fault for Friday’s loss. “First of all, we have to do a better job to not get in those penalty kill situations,” he said. “We have to be more disciplined. You can’t blame the goalie for those point blank shots with traffic in front of the net. We have to do a better job.” MORE ONLINE: For coverage of Saturday’s deciding game, see www.golackawanna.com/sports.

TITLE Continued from page 32 Title

Abington Heights and Scranton Prep are also in position to take titles outright after extending long unbeaten streaks. Scranton Prep plays at Holy Cross Monday night, April 30. BASEBALL Old Forge and Mid Valley each won consecutive road games to stay close behind Val-

ley View in Division 2. The Blue Devils and Spartans are 6-2 while the Cougars are 5-1. North Pocono regained sole possession of first place from Scranton in Division 1. Justin Haddix threw a twohitter with 11 strikeouts and Joe Runco scored both runs Wednesday night when the Trojans downed the Knights, 2-1. Runco scored on a Billy Nelson sacrifice fly and came all the way around from second base on a wild pitch on a third

strike. SOFTBALL North Pocono and Valley View remained unbeaten at the top of Divisions 1 and 2. Old Forge and rival Riverside got their Tuesday night game in under the lights in Taylor despite a rain shower early in the game. The Lady Vikes pulled out a 7-6 win with the help of three RBI by Ashley Buffton. Old Forge bounced back with a late rally for a 3-2 win over Dunmore on Thursday.
