Family’s bookworm gets recognition Thursdays are often quiet at our house. The middle of the week has passed, and the weekend is fast approaching. But this Thursday was different. We took a little time to recognize something that isn’t really celebrated that often anymore: the reading skills of children. I’m proud to start this gloating session by reporting that my daughter, Taryn, was chosen as the top reader from her grade level at Frances Willard Elementary School. You may recognize her name, and those of her more than 20 classmates from a photo spread in the pages of Go a few weeks ago about baby chicks in her classroom.
BEHIND THE BYLINES CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES When we learned last month that she was selected to participate in the district’s oral reading contest, my wife and I were thrilled, then slightly horrified. Our daughter is dramatic. That’s being polite. Paper cuts are apparently suffered through swings of axe blades in our house, as they usually come with a steady stream of tears as Taryn flies up the steps to get a bandage. Her speed and often unsteady coordination usually leads to another bump or bruise on the steps in her haste. It’s an all-too-familiar scene.
In addition, she’s often combative with her little brother. That’s no surprise to any sibling, younger or older, but some days are worse than others. The thought of Taryn competing in and not winning a competition frightened my wife and I to the core. Would she burst into tears? Would she run flying out of the doors of the elementary school and be hit by a bus picking up preschool students? Would she spontaneously combust from the pressure? Anything was possible. Throughout the week, we assured Taryn that just going to the contest was an honor. Win or lose, she was still the best reader from her grade at Willard, and that was nothing to be ashamed of. She drew the always dreaded number 13 as her turn in the
contest but luckily isn’t superstitious enough to worry about numbers. One by one, the 12 students ahead of her had their turn. I, meanwhile, was busy escorting our son, John, through the halls of John G. Whittier Elementary so he didn’t disturb the other readers. A wise but tiring choice. Taryn’s turn came. John, in true brotherly fashion, was boisterous during her recitation of a story on what snowmen do at night, but she was not phased. In the end, she didn’t bring home a trophy, but we also didn’t drag a sobbing mess of 7-year-old drama queen to the car. So everybody won. Including her classmates who asked for her autograph at lunch.

Mary Ann Moran-Savakinus, director the Lackawanna County Historical Society, said that the Washburn Street Cemetery contains more history that just Hugh Rodham, father of U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. “Any time somebody cleans up the cemetery, that’s good for history, but the cemetery isn’t just significant because of the Rodhams.

Piles of old tires, mattresses, shingles, lawn care equipment, and Christmas decorations dumped in a heap. When Scranton City Council Vice President Pat Rogan assessed the Washburn Street Cemetery for himself on Thursday afternoon, he found its condition even worse than what neighbors had described. For months, Rogan said he has received complaints from dozens of citizens asking that something be done about the condition of the almost 150 year old cemetery, but after letters to the owner and the city’s department of Licensing, Inspections, and Permits went without a response, he decided to see the alleged years of neglect for himself.

A wooded area in the back corner of the cemetery, littered with beer cans and garbage, has crept into the graveyard itself, engulfing graves with weeds and poison ivy. A dumping ground lies next to this area, filled with shingles, concrete slabs, and Christmas decorations cleaned from the graves. On the opposite end, a pile of used mattresses sits next to a shack with a fence that surrounds tires, broken vacuums, riding mowers, and more. There are no front gates, and holes can be seen throughout the surrounding fences. Only a few links of a broken chain to block the entranceway at night remain, leaving the cemetery open at all hours.

CRANTON – The seven Democrats vying for the office of Lackawanna County Commissioner met Wednesday for a debate presented by the League of Women Voters of Lackawanna County. Moderated by LWV President Andrea Mulrine, the round-robin question-and-answer session allowed between one- and two-minute responses on topics like social services, fiscal stability, promises to voters and more.
Each candidate expressed their concerns over the county’s fiscal health while the only sitting commissioner in the race made it clear that the county is out of cash and some proposed financial plans are nothing but misinformation. “Anybody up here who says they’re going to lower taxes is either lying to you or they’re absolutely clueless. Taxes are not going down in Lackawanna Coun-
ty anytime soon,” Commissioner Corey O’Brien, of Moosic, said, as he blamed the “crippled” finances on debt that more than doubled during the Robert Cordaro-A.J. Munchak administration. O’Brien is running in the primary with Blakely Mayor Jeanette Acciare-Mariani, of Peckville. Former State Rep. Jim Wansacz, of Old Forge, and Scranton
School Director Brian Jeffers, of Scranton, the endorsed candidates in the race, have built a campaign on job creation as the primary way to inject new revenue into the county. “We have empty warehousing in Covington and Dunmore. We can bring in more jobs. We’re going to have to do it through tax incentives and grant programs,” Jeffers said. Both Jeffers and Scranton resident Elizabeth Randol, the former county chief of staff and policy director for the Pennsylvania Treasury, criticized the current administration for filling budget gaps with the sale of county assets. “We currently are carrying a $5.1 million structural deficit that this year was plugged with the $2.1 million in revenue from the sale of the nursing home,” Randol said of the one-time revenue solutions. “Clearly, we’re all in agreement that the coun-

ty’s budget and the fiscal stability of the county is in serious jeopardy.” On reassessment, Pennsylvania State Cooperative Extension Educator Tom McHugh, of South Abington Township, cited the “wildly fluctuating” assessments that were completed in Luzerne County as a reason to cautiously approach the effort. Wansacz and Jeffers said something should be done to complete the process after it has “gone nowhere” after $5 million was spent to start it. Saying the issue is not unique to Lackawanna County, Wansacz suggested that “the answer (to reassessment) has got to come from the state government.” O’Brien agreed, saying that
the more than $8 million needed to complete the process is not in the county’s coffers. Foxko Real Estate co-owner Tom Fox, of South Abington Township, said, “I worry about the elderly, and I worry about those on fixed income. I think we can come up with an abatement on their taxes until the house is sold or transferred.” McHugh said he would work with the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania to seek a moratorium on Marcellus Shale drilling for natural gas in the county. Wansacz and Jeffers hope funds from a proposed impact fee could be used to train conservation officers to protect the county’s watersheds. “We have to learn our lesson from the coal days and the Industrial Revolution or we’re bound to repeat those same mistakes,” O’Brien said of the scars that anthracite coal mining left on the region’s landscape. Fox said he outright opposes shale drilling. “If we can’t stop it, it should be heavily regulated,” he said.

DUNMORE – A 20-year-old man faces charges after allegedly punching and hitting a Scranton woman with a baseball bat and attempting to choke her on May 3. Stevin Alin Ermil, of Farber Ct., Dunmore, faces three counts of simple assault, two counts of aggravated assault and one count each of reckless endangerment and unlawful restraint for the alleged incident. According to an affidavit: Scranton police responded to a reported assault on Pittston Avenue at 11:30 p.m., but later determined that the assault occurred at Ermil’s Dunmore home where he had already been detained. In an interview with Dunmore Police Capt. William Springer, police learned that Ermil and the victim, Mindy Jo Felker, allegedly got into an argument “over her cheating on him and lying about it.” Ermil said he “lost control of himself and the arguement (sic) turned violent.” He told police he hit her in the side and back with an aluminum baseball bat, punched her in the back of the head several times and tried to suffocate her by covering her nose and mouth with his hands. Ermil was arraigned May 3 and held for $20,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is set for May 10.

SCRANTON – Deemed a “social commerce” Web site by its creators, Scranton residents Alex, 27, and Ted Brunelle, 32, publicly unveiled their new business, Nearbid.com, on Thursday morning. The auction marketplace, which is currently in beta, will facilitate the creation of jobs in northeastern Pennsylvania, according to Chief Technology Officer Ted Brunelle. “We are to the services marketplace what eBay is to the products marketplace,” he said. The site offers registered users the ability to post “jobs” and seek competitive bids from local business owners to have their work completed, from music lessons to
car repairs. Jobs are targeted by category including travel, legal services and entertainment that are broken into subcategories to consolidate searches and results. Users need a free account to post a new job but not to search for existing work. They can post text and photos or use an internal messaging service to connect with prospective bidders about their job. “It doesn’t cost a penny to bid, it doesn’t cost a penny to post,” Chief Executive Officer Alex Brunelle said. “It’s the responsibility of the buyer and the seller… to interact and have their transaction completed. Our fees are zero.” The owners plan to earn revenue through advertising.
Alex Brunelle said programmers Neil Opet, Craig Simko and Amandeep Chorpa put in thousands of hours to make the site a success. “I owe the credit of the functionality of the system to them.” The site, the Brunelles said, was born out of needs that they encountered as business and rental property owners. “We had a problem, and there was no service to fulfill our requirements. This is built through the mother of necessity,” Ted Brunelle said. The brothers hope to have one million local “jobs” created before Dec. 31, 2012. “We think it’s going to be very successful, and it’s going to be a paradigm in the marketplace of
creating jobs,” Ted Brunelle said. Local elected officials in attendance lauded the idea and the impact it could have on area business. “It’s people like Alex and Ted who create jobs and who help build our economy,” Lackawanna County Commissioner Corey O’Brien said. The site will rely on promotion through search engine optimization and a strong social networking presence. “This is effectively a merger of e-commerce and social networking to create almost a social commerce,” Alex Brunelle said. Nearbid.com has offices in the Scranton Enterprise Center, 201 Lackawanna Ave. For more information, call (570) 309-3999 or visit www.nearbid.com.

SCRANTON CITY COUNCIL
Council seeks to install new signals SCRANTON – City Council unanimously approved the final passage of several pieces of legislation on Tuesday that will lead to the installation and operation of new traffic signals. The legislation allows the city to make applications to the state Department of Transportation, or PennDOT, for permits to install and operate these traffic signals, which are to be placed along Keyser Avenue at Oak Street, the Keyser Village
Driveway, the Scranton Expressway, the Morgan Highway, and Ferdinand Street. Council also unanimously approved a motion made by Councilman Jack Loscombe to schedule a public hearing regarding a zoning reclassification on June 7 before the regularly scheduled council meeting.

Lou Barletta and Tom Marino “to find alternative funds and grants” to complete the county’s reassessment effort. Smallacombe said reassessed taxes on the elderly and the poor should be phased in and the state should provide assistance to counties looking to complete their reassessments while Jones suggested the county should create the funding on its own through sub assessors. Regarding Marcellus Shale drilling for natural gas, all of the Republican candidates said the area’s water and soil must be protected. “We’ve learned from the past and from our scarred landscapes. There were no safeguards back then,” O’Malley said, citing the region’s anthracite coal mining his-
presented by the neighborhood association and then to make a recommendation on that to City Council,” Council President Janet Evans explained.

Jones said the “billion dollar” industry provides an opportunity for residents to obtain high-paying jobs, but only if the county partners with area schools to provide training. Regionalization is also widely supported among the GOP, but in different ways. O’Malley said he hopes to better provide services to smaller, underserved municipalites; Smallacombe will seek intergovernmental cooperation efforts but not a “total regionalization”; and Jones suggested reaching outside the county walls to possibly build a tri-county plan and reduce some administrative positions.

SCRANTON – An assistant manager of a local Kentucky Fried Chicken allegedly admitted to police that he stole $3,200 from night deposit bags in the early morning hours of April 19. Olander Clements, 29, of Drakes Lane, Old Forge, is charged with theft by unlawful taking, burglary and receiving stolen property for the incident last month. According to an affidavit: Scranton police met with Kentucky Fried Chicken managers Pat Peluso and Joe Grenevicki and owner Barbara Cocolin at the Keyser Avenue restaurant on April 19. Grenevicki said he closed the store at 11:30 p.m. the night before after he placed two deposit bags containing $3,200 in a safe. When he returned at 8:45 a.m., the bags were found empty on a desk. The store’s alarm company showed that an assistant manager had entered the building using a security code. Peluso allegedly suspected Clements of the crime out of five different assistant managers with similar codes. Olander allegedly left work early Monday and never returned home, Peluso learned from his girlfriend. On April 22, he allegedly contacted Scranton Detective Jennifer Gerrity and admitted to the theft. He indicated to Gerrity that he was willing to pay restitution to the restaurant and planned to set up a repayment plan on April 25. By April 29, he had not returned phone calls to police or to the restaurant and had failed to report to a scheduled appointment at the Scranton Police Department. Clements was arraigned May 2 and held for $10,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is set for May10.

Death of Osama bin Laden
Justice served for 9/11, says Pa.’s delegation By JONATHAN RISKIND For Go Lackawanna
WASHINGTON – Scranton area members of Congress said Osama bin Laden’s death extracts some measure of justice for the horrific events of Sept. 11, 2001 and they lauded the work of the U.S. intelligence and military forces that hunted the terrorist down. “Let the word go forth that the elimination of this cold-blooded murderer sends a distinct message to the terrorists around the world that the United States of America will track down and eliminate those cowards who think they can create an atmosphere of horror and get away with it,” said Rep. Tom Marino, R-Lycoming Township.
Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scranton, noted that Pennsylvania, along with New York and Washington, was directly impacted by what bin Laden and al-Qaida perpetrated when Flight 93 was downed by heroic passengers over Shanksville, Somerset County. Since then, 68 soldiers from Pennsylvania have been killed in Afghanistan and hundreds others injured, Casey said. “The sacrifice of those families who lost loved ones on Sept. 11th and in the following years can never be made whole, but I hope that the death of bin Laden can help to bring some closure,” Casey said. “While toSee JUSTICE, Page 15

Death of Osama bin Laden
End of Osama bin Laden does not mean end of war on terror, expert says.
By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES chughes@golackawanna.com
ALEXANDRIA, VA – The death of Osama bin Laden, the former head of international terrorism group al-Qaida, on May 1 could significantly impact the work of an area native to increase religious freedoms around the globe. Joseph K. Grieboski, 36, a Scott Township native and resident of Alexandria, Va., founded the Institute on Religion and Public Policy in 1999. It is an inter-religious non-profit, Nobel Peace Prize-nominated organization dedicated to ensuring freedom of religion as the foundation for security and democracy. He said the death of bin Laden will mark a significant change in how he works to build those relations. “They (al-Qaida) made the advancement of religious liberty
very difficult in many ways, especially as an American with an American-based organization. Any time I started talking Grieboski about religious liberty issues, certain leaders of Muslim countries would feel that ‘This is just a part of the anti-Muslim sentiment coming from the United States,’” Grieboski said Tuesday. “The reality is Osama bin Laden killed far more Muslims than he ever killed non-Muslims in his decades-long execution of terrorism and the use of violence. We have a common enemy, and that common enemy has now been dealt with.” Grieboski said the death of bin Laden marks as much of a

Like many Americans, Chris Carney watched the news reports about Osama bin Laden’s death Sunday night with a sense of pride. Unlike many Americans, he is able to reflect on his personal role in the war on terror. A former 10th District congressman from Dimock Township, Carney’s resume boasts experience as a senior terrorism and intelligence adviser at the Pentagon, a commander in the U.S. Navy Reserve and a special intelligence liaison with the Defense Intelligence Agency. “It was a pretty big night,” Carney said. “I was thrilled.” He said as the news reports constantly updated viewers about the killing of the nation’s Public Enemy No. 1, he began thinking about his involvement in the hunt for bin Laden. Carney was keeping an eye on bin Laden before the terrorism attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 and was involved in multiple counterterrorism operations since bin Laden directed attacks that killed thousands in New York, Washington and a field in western Pennsylvania. Watching the television at his Susquehanna County home Sunday night, Carney said when he got word that the pres-
ident had planned to address Americans at 11 p.m. Sunday, he knew the news was big and likely had to do with bin Laden. News organizations soon confirmed reports that bin Laden had been killed by CIA-directed Navy SEALs at a fortified compound in Abbottabad, a town northeast of Pakistan’s capital and home to Pakistan’s national military academy. That location, and how bin Laden was able to hide out in a sprawling compound so close to the Pakistani president’s complex, caused Carney to scratch his head. “Pakistan has some explaining to do,” Carney said. “To find out he was basically in Pakistan’s equivalent of our West Point, there are some questions that need answered. “How does the most wanted man in the world live within a mile of Kakul (The Pakistan Military Academy)?” Carney said. But asking questions and sorting out the hows and whys See CARNEY, Page 15

turning point for the nation as the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, that he orchestrated did. “9/11 came, and our entire national psyche changed. Everything about us changed, all because of the mission, the purpose, the desires, the interests and the goals of this one man who was the global embodiment, the face of terror,” he said. The loss of a single leader to al-Qaida’s “global network of loosely affiliated organizations” brings about new challenges in the war on terror. “The one binding force around that network was Osama bin Laden. With his death, we now do not have one al-Qaida. We have hundreds of al-Qaidas, all with now their own small leaders, their own missions, their own goals,” he said. “Each and every one of these networks is now livid over the death of their leader, their symbol, their model.”

he Winmark Corporation, parent company of resale stores such as Play It Again Sports and Music Go Round, is eyeing Northeastern Pennsylvania for entrepreneurs interested in opening up to five additional company brand stores. The rights for one franchise — Plato’s Closet — has been sold to Ryan and Julie Simmons of Vestal, N.Y. The couple opened the store at 1029 Commerce Boulevard in Dickson City last week and will buy merchandise strictly from the community in anticipation of the store’s grand opening in late June.
Plato’s Closet buys and sells teens and twenty-somethings brand name apparel, shoes and accessories. There are more than 280 franchised stores in the United States and Canada. The Simmons already operate a franchise in their hometown. Winmark, based in Minneapolis, Minn. and publicly traded on the NASDAQ, is also looking at locations and franchisees for its Play It Again Sports, Once Upon A Child and Music Go Round brands locally. According to company spokeswoman Jayne Levy, Winmark sees the market as “a great opportunity for one store of each brand. The demographics (Winmark looks) for — young families, children under age 13, junior/senior high enrollment and college enrollments — all meet or exceed (Winmark’s) goals for a market of this size. The real estate is affordable and fits well into their business plans.” In fact, Pete First, director of franchise development of Winmark Corporation, said the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre market could be the first of its size in the nation with at least one of each franchise. He said the region’s low real estate costs and penchant for good deals makes it an ideal target market for growth. According to Levy, the company has already selected municipalities for the brands. • Once Upon A Child, which buys used children’s clothing, toys and equipment and resells them, is looking to locate in both Wilkes-Bare and Scranton. The chain currently has nearly
240 franchised stores in the U.S. and 24 in Canada. Currently the closest franchise in is Harrisburg. • Play It Again Sports buys and sells sports equipment and gear. The chain currently has a location in Plains Township among its more than 330 franchised stores in the United States and Canada. The company is looking to bring a location to Scranton. • Music Go Round buys, sells, and trades used and new music gear such as guitars, drums, keyboards, sound equipment and accessories. The chain currently has a location in Wilkes-Barre Township among its 35 franchised stores in the United States. The company is looking to open a store in Dunmore. Harry McDonnell, of Shavertown, has owned the only Music Go Round franchise in Northeast Pennsylvania since 1999 with his wife Linda. He said he welcomes the potential for a second Music Go Round in the region. “I think the market can support it,” said McDonnell, who moved his store to the WilkesBarre Township Commons from the East End Center in 2004. He said he draws from the Poconos, Hazleton and Clarks Summit regions now. Added visibility of the brand’s name and a potential to share advertising costs with the new franchisee would be benefits. In addition to affordable items for the community and a chance for people to make money selling their items to the

stores, the businesses also bring jobs, Levy said. Depending on the brand each store can employ two to three full-time employees along with
eight to15 part- time workers. First said that quality resale shops have seen growth as the economy has struggled, with people looking to stretch their
dollars without sacrificing fashion or love of music. “This economy is kind of the perfect storm for what we do,” First said.

Hundreds of cyclists rode through the region for the eighth annual Tour de Scranton, held Sunday, May 1. The event featured five different routes including a route along the Lackawanna County Heritage Trail that was open to walkers for the first time in the tour’s history. Tour de Scranton raises funds for the Erin Jessica Moreken Drug and Alcohol Treatment Fund which was founded in 2002 after the death of the 28-year-old Scranton native. Since the first ride in 2004, more than $100,000 has been raised.

ied there.” The remains of 61 of the 110 victims of the Sept. 6, 1869, Avondale Mine disaster in Plymouth Township were buried in the cemetery on Sept. 9, 1869. Most were of Welsh decent and were recently remembered with a plaque in 2009 on the 140th anniversary of their interment. There are not even 61 tombstones to remember each person individually, and those that remain were largely cracked, fallen, or sunk into the ground. One stone still remains missing to this day. Linda Scott of Clarks Summit collected donations and raised thousands of dollars for the 2009 rededication plaque and to repair the largely ignored plot where the remains of the miners rest. As an advocate of local history, she said she was “disgusted” by the lack of respect the graves had been afforded and decided to take matters into her own hands, using the money to pay for new footers and other necessary repairs, including piecing some back together. “I just wanted to honor their memory. A poor mother lost a husband and three sons that day. Willie Hatton wasn’t working that day, but he was in that mine with his dad to watch him work. He never got a chance to grow up,” Scott explained when visiting the site on Friday. “It seems strange to say, but when those guys were down here in the July heat lifting these tombstones back up, I kept telling the miners, ‘This is for you. We’re doing it for you.’ They’re not here
Sunday, May 8, 2011 anymore, but their souls are here.” Scott also intended to visit the grave of her grandfather in another section of the cemetery, but could not locate it because of weeds and overgrowth. As she searched, she pointed out that many stones were just thrown into piles near an adjacent fence, leaving many graves completely unmarked. “I had somebody call me a couple months ago from out of state. He was looking for his great grandfather and the Historical Society couldn’t help him. They spent hours walking through the cemetery looking for this man’s tombstone and never found it. A lot of them are down and a lot of them are broke,” Scott added. “With Memorial Day coming up, you’ll see a lot of people here with their own lawnmowers and weed cutters doing their own sites because Chick Rader won’t do it. He should be paying for this. It’s just sickening. It gets me every time I come down here.” Past calls to Rader and State Rep. Kevin Murphy, she said, have been ignored. As she prepared to leave on Friday, she found an elderly couple digging out their family’s headstones. The stones have been buried so deeply that a layer of dirt and grass covers them completely, and they are only visible when they use a hoe and shovel they brought from home to dig them out. Bob and Dolores Morlang, both in their late 70s, drove two hours from their home in Stony Point, N.Y., just to maintain the grave, knowing that no one else will do it. “I wonder what other people do. After me, there is nobody left to take care of them. I’m the last of the Morlangs,” Bob Morlang commented.

ployees could be located. Charles Newcomb, Sr. has lived within walking distance of the cemetery for more than 10 years. He visits deceased family members two to three times a week. His son, Charles Newcomb, Jr., said he has complained but never received a response from the owner, and he often brings his own lawnmower and weed trimmer to clear the section where his grandparents are buried. “This has been going on for a very long time, but we noticed it more when my grandmother passed away two years ago, being there more frequently,” Newcomb, Jr. said. “This didn’t happen overnight. It progressively just got worse and worse,” fellow neighbor Frank Stefko agreed when contacted Friday. “It’s in my backyard. It’s disrespectful and it’s unsightly.” History of neglect West Scranton residents said the issues have been ongoing, at least since the Washburn Street Cemetery was owned by John Rogan - no relation to Councilman Pat Rogan - over two decades ago. John Rogan plead guilty to theft charges in 1992 for embezzling perpetual care funds for years, serving16 months in Lackawanna County Prison, fined $10,000, and ordered to pay back the over $200,000 he stole. With this money not being invested into the cemetery, it fell into a perpetual state of disrepair that it appears to never have recovered from. Charles “Chick” Rader, owner of Charles J. Rader Insurance in Scranton, purchased the property, along with Abington Hills Cemetery in South Abington Township for

$750,000. He also owns the Shady Lane Cemetery in South Abington Township. Despite the change in ownership, neighbors say that little has changed since Rader took over. “He probably figures, ‘Why should I clean this up or fix anything if no one is coming to see these people?’ But that’s not the point. What about the people that are coming there that have to look at that? I’ve never seen a cemetery where they needed ‘No Dumping’ signs posted in the front entrance. What would give someone the idea to dump there unless it looked like a dumping area?” Stefko asked. One section of the cemetery did appear to be recently mowed on Thursday. Another section that neighbors say is usually maintained is the resting place of the father of U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. Hugh Ellsworth Rodham died at the age of 82 and was laid to rest there in April 1993 following a massive clean-up effort spearheaded by over 200 volunteers and several city employees, using taxpayer money to temporarily maintain the private property. Former Mayor Jim Connors said at the time that it was a public safety emergency because of exposed electrical wires, toppled headstones, overgrowth, garage, and pothole-laden roads. Several of these problems still remain today, however, and at least six inches of grass and weeds surrounded the Rodham tombstone on Thursday. Few answers or solutions Greg Graziano, the cemetery’s listed caretaker, could not be reached for comment, but a voice message said he could not answer due to “medical circumstances” and asked that all questions and concerns be directed to Rader. When contacted on Friday, Rader provided few answers. “The Washburn Street Cemetery will be ready for Memorial
Day, but if you recall, during the month of April, we had one day without rain, just one, and there’s nothing I can do with a cemetery when it’s raining,” Rader said. “Every three years, someone calls and complains about something. I don’t have anything to say about it.” Rader declined further comment. Council President Janet Evans said on Tuesday that there is “no acceptable excuse” for the “deplorable, inexcusable condition” of the cemetery. “For years, I have asked the LIPs department to go there and cite the owner, and here we are a year again later – still no citations and the situation grows more and more unacceptable, and that’s a disgrace not only to those who are buried in that sacred land, but to their families who visit them faithfully,” Evans said. Scranton Director of Licensing, Inspections, and Permits Mark Seitzinger said that he received a letter from council on Friday about their concerns over the condition of the cemetery. Seitzinger said that Don McKeon, the West Scranton inspector, would conduct an assessment of the cemetery between Friday and Monday, May 9. Whether fined or not, millions of dollars and thousands of hours of manpower would likely be needed to restore the property to a state acceptable to neighbors. “The next question’s going to be, ‘Where’s the money going to come from?’ But I’ll tell you what – if he maintained the property and kept kids out of there, it wouldn’t be like this,” Stefko said. “When my grandfather died in 1977 and my grandmother bought the plot, they paid a fee to maintain the cemetery,” Newcomb, Jr. said. “It’s in your contract when you purchase the plot. You pay for perpetual care – what happened to that perpetual care money? That’s what I want to know.”

Police: Woman gave vodka, Xanax to teens By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES chughes@golackawanna.com
CARBONDALE – A city woman faces a series of charges following allegations that she gave vodka and Xanax to two 14-year-old girls. Nayda Aquino, 34, of 8th Avenue, Carbondale, allegedly gave the prescription drugs and alcohol to the teens inside her home and was taken into custody after police discovered her unresponsive with her three children, ages 4 to 14, standing around her on April 28. According to an affidavit: Carbondale Patrolmen Brian Rock and Dominick Andidora responded to a report of juveniles drinking and taking pills at a home on Canaan Street at about 8:45 p.m. A parent at the resident said her

But it also marks a loss of bin Laden’s organization, finances and widespread network. “As evil as he was and as horrible as he was, he was very good at what he did. That’s what made him so dangerous.” Grieboski, who learned of the announcement while watching CNN on Sunday evening at his home across the river from the nation’s capital, said the dialogue surrounding his death is very different in national and international circles. “A lot of the people I’m talking to here in Washington are very happy he’s gone,” he said. “At the same time, there’s that lingering fear of, ‘Okay, we’ve got him, but now we have to worry.’” In contrast, Grieboski’s said that his foreign colleagues have reversed the argument, reacting first to the changes in the global war on terror while bin Laden’s death is almost an afterthought. The moment should be recognized, but not celebrated, he said. “It is a cathartic moment for us as a nation. We shouldn’t be celebrating the death of anyone, but we can celebrate the
daughter allegedly received Valium from another girl who lived there. A second parent called her daughter and ordered her home. When she arrived home after 9 p.m., she was “visibly intoxicated.” Police had her transported to Marian Community Hospital. Shortly after that, police located the second teen along Oak Avenue. She also appeared intoxicated and was treated at Marian Community Hospital. Inside the emergency room, the girls said they would not “snitch” on their friend “Pablo’s mother,” referring to Aquino. When they arrived at Aquino’s home, her 14-year-old son told officers that she was sleeping, that he could not wake her up and that she had relief that comes from knowing that Public Enemy No. 1 is no longer Public Enemy No. 1,” Grieboski said. “At the same time, we can’t let the jubilation of this moment cloud the reality that the war on terror isn’t over. It’s just changed.” And bin Laden’s death seems to raise just as many questions as it answers. “What do we do now? Are we finished in Afghanistan? If the point of going into Afghanistan was to find Osama bin Laden and to punish those who committed the acts of 9/11, is the mission in Afghanistan then still legitimate?” he said. “What do we do about Guantanamo Bay? Let’s be perfectly honest: It was intelligence gathered through the detention of people in Guantanamo Bay that helped us to find Osama bin Laden.” While those answers are still unclear, Grieboski, echoing President Barack Obama’s own words on May 1, said that one thing continues to be clear. “This is not about Islam being right or wrong or good or bad,” Grieboski said. “This is about the motivations of people who are using violence to bring about their political goals. This isn’t about theology; this is about politics.”

In an interview with her oldest sons, police learned the boys returned from playing basketball at about 7:30 p.m. and said their mother was “acting wierd (sic) and appeared drunk.” Children and Youth Services were contacted, and the children’s father, Jose Alvarez, took custody. In all, Aquino faces five counts of endangering the welfare of children, four counts of reckless endangerment, and two counts of corruption of minors. She was arraigned April 29 and held for 10 percent of $20,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is set for May 9.

In addition to welcoming the new precinct, the crime watch is planning a twoday event in July where youths will collaborate with local artist Ted Michalowski to create a mural to cover existing graffiti. An existing piece of damaged playground equipment will also be removed in the coming weeks to make way for a future community garden. Neighbors are encouraged to report violations, including use of the park after regular hours, to Scranton police, Duffy told residents on Wednesday. “If you enforce the small stuff, the big stuff goes away,” he said.

Right now, this is a time for Americans and other residents of the world to rejoice and feel proud that one mission has been accomplished, he said. “It shows the resolve of the United States. We’re not going to give up,” Carney said, noting that it also sends another message to terrorists who might have doubted the country’s efforts to bring down al-Qaida. “It shows them our tenacity.” One part of the killing of bin Laden that has raised questions, especially in the conspiracy theorists’ community, is why the military conducted a burial at sea instead of keeping his body. Carney said the decision was “a brilliant idea frankly.” He said leaving the body behind or burying it would create a shrine for his followers. By adhering to the Muslim requirements that burial take place within 24 hours and doing it at an undisclosed place where no followers could gather at was the right decision, he said.

CRANTON – Spurred by the concerns of a neighborhood watch group over the late night activity of teens in an area skate park, Scranton Police Chief Dan Duffy announced Thursday that police and crime watch members will actively enforce an 8 p.m. closure of the park each night.
neighbors expressed concerns over youths utilizing the park in the late evening hours, destroying park property, using foul language and possibly abusing drugs. Resident Dan Brennan, who moved to West Scranton in December, said that his car was burglarized on Monday and a GPS device was stolen. In motions approved Wednesday, watch members unanimously agreed to keep the park open between noon and 8 p.m. from Monday to Saturday, and from 3 to 8 p.m. on Sunday. Karin Foster, president of the neighborhood watch, said the main goals of a new city ordinance is to establish specific park rules and hours, and to add new accessibility for the general public. She is working with city solicitor Paul Kelly to draft the legislation. “The old story is that kids have no where to go,” Kelly said. “Let’s bring them here, but at the same time let’s respect everybody’s rights in the neighborhood. When we do pass this ordinance, there’s going to be rules.

day’s development does not mean an end to terrorism or the need to remain relentlessly vigilant, the death of bin Laden has enormous significance in American and world history.: Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton, said that, “Like all Americans, I am pleased that, after a manhunt lasting more than a decade, Osama bin Laden is dead. For far too long, bin Laden evaded justice. But now, it seems as if justice has finally been meted out to Osama bin Laden.” Barletta said he hopes the news “brings some measure of solace” to families of victims of 9/11 and other terrorist attacks carried out by al-Qaida. But Barletta also cautioned that bin Laden’s death does not mean the end to al-Qaida and other terrorists who wish the United States harm. Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Zionsville, made stops Monday in Scranton and Wilkes-Barre to address business concerns with members of the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce and Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Business and Industry.

If it isn’t completely funded by Thursday, May 26, all pledges are sent back to the proposed donors. It’s one way Kickstarter ensures projects are completed with public support. Williams said relying on the donations of others can be a bit nerve-racking. “The future of the album doesn’t hang in the balance, but when it comes out does,” he said. “If this doesn’t work, it will be delayed a few months.” If it does work, Williams hopes to release the album in August. He plans to record the 10-track album in June and July with Carl Yost at East Room Recordings. Yost was a former student at Temple who left his studies to pursue the Philadelphiaarea studio full time. Williams’ project may reach its $1,750 goal if the record of music-related donations falls in his favor. According to the Kickstarter blog, more than $13 million has been given to music projects since the site launched in April 2009. The album will also include a unique mixture of instruments and a variety of musicians from both Philadelphia and Scranton that will build their sections to fit into a musical “skeleton” he wrote and performed, Williams said.

Teens welcome, involved at local library Whoever said today’s teens are disaffected and uninvolved has not met any of the young adults congregating at the Albright Memorial Library. The library has a very active Teen Advisory Board lead by Anna Kilcullen, youth services librarian. Regular TAB meetings are held on the third Tuesday of every month. The group is composed of approximately 15 teens from area high schools, both public and private. While the teens have a lot of fun, they also have a lot of responsibility. They suggest materials to be added to the library’s young adult collection and also decide upcoming young adult programming. Some of their most successful events have included Murder Mystery Night, Game Night, Karaoke
500 VINE Night and bake sales. For their next major event they will be performing an “Improv Night” on Tuesday, May 24 at 6:30 p.m. Rehearsals began last month and the event is guaranteed to be filled with fun and entertainment. “Improv Night” is open to the public and free of charge with your library card. In June and July, the Young Adult Department at the Albright Memorial Library is holding “Totally Awesome Tuesdays,” which is sponsored by a grant from the Lackawanna County Library System. Pat Finnerty, local musician and stand-up comic, will host “Beatlemania” on June 21. Teens will learn all
about the Fab Four while singing along to their music as performed by Finnerty. A community drum circle will be lead by Thomas Deerheart on June 28. Daniel Kostelec will perform his hilarious, interactive “Shakespeare for Dummies” show on July 5. This show is perfect for teens who are interested in learning more about the Bard but who may not be ready to read his works yet. Finally, a two day working improvisational theater workshop will be lead by local professional actor Heather Stuart on July 12 and 19. If you are a teenager or know any teenagers, these free opportunities are not to be missed. Anyone who wants to join the TAB or needs more information on pro-
gramming can contact Kilcullen at akilcullen@albright.org. Another great resource for young adults is the Teen Zone at the Nancy Kay Holmes Branch Library. The space was unveiled last week and is a safe place where teens can socialize and do their homework. New books, tables, laptops and a television are just some of the highlights of the room. The renovation was performed by the Leadership Lackawanna Class of 2011. All of these services and programs are available to the community, free of charge. If you don’t have a library card, come in and sign up for one today. ‘500 Vine’ focuses on local library services. Find it bi-weekly in Go Lackawanna.

Mother always knows best
Scranton City Councilman Frank Joyce “The best advice that I ever got from my mother was to never let anyone intimidate me, no matter how much bigger or fiercer a competitor they appeared to be, and that if I put my mind to doing something, I can always do it.” Joyce’s mother, Marie Tyrell, lives in Scranton.

Scranton Police Chief Dan Duffy Duffy said his mother always instructed him “to work hard.” “That’s what she instilled in me my entire life, as did my father, but it was my mother mainly driving me to work. I used to work at a pizza place up in Daleville... She would drop me off up there, and it was always, ‘Work, work, work.’ “I thank her for that. I probably wouldn’t be where I’m at today if it wasn’t for her instilling that in me.” Duffy’s mother, Carol, 66, lives in Scranton. Scranton School District Superintendent William King

King, the seventh of eight children in his family, said one of his mother’s common phrases stuck with him as a piece of advice for getting through difficult times. “Any time you were down and out, whether it was from school or a sporting event… she used to say, ‘Snap out of it.’ “It’s easy in this profession to feel beaten down,” King said, but his mother’s words to him and his siblings sometimes helps him shake off the weight of the day. King’s mother, Betty, passed away in 1999 at age 72. The staff of Go Lackawanna sincerely wishes a happy Mother’s Day to all moms in Lackawanna County.

The Internet is the Wild West, which is good, but it also means that there are a million Web sites out there.” The work, he said, is often the same. The rules of writing, editing and reporting don’t change much between print and the web. But the freedom to reach outside the so-called walls of the region is enticing. “It’s the Internet,” Lello said. “We’d right about something on Mars if it was interesting.” Lello said the support of friends in and out of the music community has helped, and the connections he built as a traditional journalist have gotten stronger. “One of the most rewarding

Brush with fame takes backseat What could be better than hanging out backstage with some of your favorite musicians? Well, a few things, actually. With this job, you never know who you’ll be rubbing elbows with or calling up week to week. I’ve interviewed politicians, business owners, community leaders, actors, writers, artists, comedians, and musicians, each having their own distinct quirks and personalities. Sometimes it’s easy to get swept up in their lives, and every once in a while, something more comes out of that half-hour or so you share – it’s just not always in the way you’d expect. Sometimes I get the honor of talking to someone I’ve followed or looked up to for years, so when I had the opportunity to talk to Lajon Witherspoon, the lead singer of heavy metal act Sevendust, I was beyond thrilled. Here is a band I had listened to since I was about 14 years old, and their music had gotten me through some rough times throughout my life. After seeing them several times in concert, it was surreal to have their singer only a phone call away. We ended up talking for about 20 minutes, and he was as nice and accommodating as I expected him to be. He was humbled by any praise I laid on him, and by the end of our conversation, I think he realized the kind of fan I was. Out of nowhere and without solicitation, he gave me his personal phone number and said to call him the day of the concert so that we could meet in person backstage. If I had to guess, I’m sure the look on my face at that moment was priceless. Backstage partying? This was a new era for me.
Once the initial shock wore off, my pessimistic side took over and said, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” After all, I’m sure this guy does hundreds of interviews, and I doubt mine really stood out that much from the rest. Sevendust opened for Avenged Sevenfold at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre. My little brother’s favorite band is Avenged, so I knew I’d be taking him to the show whether this fabled meeting happened or not. I was sure to secure two tickets, just in case. My cynicism was not unfounded. The day of the show, I left a voicemail message for Lajon as well as a text, but received no response. As a last ditch effort, I contacted the tour manager and asked if there was any possibility of this happening, but he said that security was only allowing about 10 people backstage and they were already over their limit. Either Lajon hadn’t checked his phone or he just didn’t want to let me down – whichever reason was fine by me. Maybe I even wrote his number down wrong in my excitement. Whatever the circumstances, I wasn’t taking it personally. This isn’t to say, however, that I wasn’t a bit disappointed inside. I was up front about the odds with my brother, Justin, when I told him the story, so he wasn’t expecting to meet anyone any more than I was. In fact, he seemed just thrilled to be at the show at all, considering this was his first real concert.
My first show was also at his age, 16, seeing The Offspring and Lit at Montage Mountain. I remember not being able to see much from my cheap lawn seats, but it was a nice, easygoing introduction into my lifelong passion for live music. For me, it was just another show, but for him, this was something he’d remember for the rest of his life. I knew that because he is just like I was at that age – a quiet, introverted geek who enjoys his escapism. He wears his headphones almost constantly, just as I did, and the music offered the reason, understanding, and motivation that many of my peers at the time didn’t. Eventually I got over the teen angst, and I’m sure he will too, but in that moment, it was interesting to watch history repeat itself. Our seats were excellent and gave us a perfect view of the stage. I was pretty sure Justin wasn’t quite ready for the pit, despite his enthusiasm. Sevendust tore it up like they always do, and while I didn’t find Three Days Grace nearly as impressive as most of the crowd seemed to, I could tell Justin was having a good time. That’s when I saw the last person I thought I’d see that night, at least up close. Lajon sat in an empty seat just a few feet away from mine in an empty section a few aisles over. He was watching Three Days Grace while several fans swarmed him, asking for pictures or autographs. Here was my chance to finally get backstage. Several possible scenarios were running through my head, but then it occurred to me that tonight wasn’t about me. I had my one-on-one interview and I had my tickets – why push my luck? If we did get backstage, would Justin even be able
to see Avenged take the stage or would we be hanging outside on a tour bus? So, I let it go. Lajon eventually got up and walked in the back without a word exchanged, but as soon as the lights came on and the headliners began, Justin’s face lit up brighter than the flames that shot up from the stage. Here was a kid that I hadn’t seen smile in weeks acting like a total goofball in public, waving his hands in the air and taking pictures like crazy. As he posed for one with the stage behind him and a huge grin on his face, it was clear that I made the right decision. He was completely enamored by what he was wit-
nessing, and by that point, so was I. It was obvious that we had another metalhead in the family, and the earlier disappointment I felt faded and made way for pride as I watched my little brother give the horns. All the autographs or bragging rights in the world can’t top that first concert feeling. Sometimes, when the best laid plans go awry, it can often be for the best, as it simply makes way for other opportunities. Or, in this case, it forces you to see the one in front of you the entire time. Thanks, Lajon. Rich Howells writes about pop culture and more for Go Lackawanna.

Read under the working title “For the Least of Them,” the one-man play is told from Curran’s perspective and delves into the man’s historical impact. As the founding pastor of Holy Saviour Church in Wilkes-Barre in 1895, he fought for the rights of local miners, many of whom were members of his own parish. Friends with both John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers of America, and U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt in his time, Curran played a significant role in settling the Anthracite Coal Strike of 1902. The emotional story also gives audiences insight into the daily lives of the workers for the Pennsylvania Coal Co. Still a work in progress, the first half of the roughly two-hour play takes place in late October of 1902 in Curran’s room in Holy Saviour Church, and the second act occurs about four months later. The Rev. William Pickard allowed the basement to be used for the intimate performance, attended by about 20 people. “He was a tribute to our area.

CRANTON – In the basement of the rectory of St. John Neumann Parish on Wednesday night, the spirit of the area’s “Labor Priest,” the Rev. John J. Curran, was resurrected for one night of live theater. Award-winning actor Gary Anderson, who was in town to portray historical lawyer Clarence Darrow in “Honoring the Judiciary: Clarence Darrow’s Judicial Perspective” the following night, performed the first ever live reading of local playwright K.K. Gordon’s latest work, which chronicles the struggles of Curran and the mining community he supported in the early 1900s.
He was right in our backyard; he was born and raised in Hawley. He was a very influential person, a very courageous person, and a very saintly man,” Pickard said. Gordon wrote the play with Anderson in mind and said it took at least three weeks of 10hour days to research and write the show. “Putting this together was a remarkable experience. I knew nothing about Father Curran when I met Gary. After working with him on one of his Darrow plays, we went looking for Father Curran’s grave and didn’t come close to finding it. But on the way, he said, ‘I’d really like to have somebody write a play about Father Curran,’ and I said, ‘I do more than turn the lights on!’” he recalled with a laugh. “There are some bugs in this play, but I’m proud of it. I felt I got to know this man very well to the point where I was having nightmares about losing my mule in the mines…My connection with reality was gone for about two months.” Known across the country for his plays about “Scopes Monkey Trial” lawyer Darrow, Anderson was thrilled to work with the “remarkable” playwright on another history-laden piece. “Plays and the creative forces that go into them, such as K.K.’s great talent, can also be an instrument of social justice to remind us of how far we’ve come and how far we still have yet to go, so if that moves you to tears, then good.” During a question and answer session after the performance, several members of the audience said how moved they were by Gordon’s words. Local playwright Art Walsh, who was sent the script in advance, said he could only read through the first five pages because “it hurt.” Among other touching scenes in the play, Curran describes the pain of giving last rites to a 7year-old girl who died in the mines. “I can’t imagine a time when we did that to our children,” Anderson told the audience. Gordon said that once edits and revisions are made, the play will once again be performed for the public at Marywood University during Thanksgiving weekend later this year.

et’s hope audiences craving matrimonial entertainment got their quota from the William and Kate Show. Otherwise they might fall prey to “Something Borrowed,” an expectationcrushing offering that falls far short of rom-com industry best practices.
I can’t imagine an audience for this other than backers, relatives or friends of the filmmakers, and even they will find their mettle tested. Deeply dimpled Ginnifer Goodwin is a wallflower lawyer, Kate Hudson is her domineering alpha-blonde best friend, and Colin Egglesfield is apparently the only available man in New York City. He and Goodwin were study partners in law school on their way to something more when her smooth, confident pal swooped in and snatched him like a hawk seizing a rabbit. Now the couple is about to marry, while Goodwin smiles bravely from the sidelines with aching, unrequited longing and holds back tears. The film is a two-hour pity party for her character, as her hopes for Eg-

We learn quite late in the game that the handsome fellow is also high society, but he’s such a wimpy, passive, calfeyed nonentity it’s hard to imagine either the dominatrix or the dishrag wanting him. Still, Goodwin regards him with a love slave’s beaming adulation and quavers, “I never thought someone like you could like someone like me.” It’s one thing to root for a plucky underdog, but it’s tough to maintain sympathy for a masochist. The film duly grinds through scene after rusty mechanical scene. Yes, there is a sad walk in the rain. Yes, the frenemies confirm their bond by performing a tightly choreographed oldies number. Yes, there are caramelized New York vistas, standard comic friends and over-insistent musical cues. In the script’s only laugh-outloud line, one character de-

The pleasant but insubstantial comedy “Jumping the Broom” — produced by Dallasbased preacher T.D. Jakes, who also has a small part in the film — is a culture-clash comedy about two African-American families squaring off during a weekend-long wedding on Martha’s Vineyard. Sabrina (Paula Patton) is the well-to-do bride, whose uptight mother (Angela Bassett) barks orders at her household staff and occasionally lapses into highfalutin French. Jason (Laz Alonso) is the groom, an investment banker from a workingclass Brooklyn family. His mother (Loretta Devine) is a postal worker, overprotective and easily slighted, determined that the wedding be a traditional African-American one. Both families, of course, have secrets that are revealed in melodramatic, not-entirely-convincing fashion. Inevitably, the bonds between Sabrina and Jason are tested, only to be finally strengthened. In other words, you’ve seen this sort of wedding-from-hell movie many times before.
What: “Jumping The Broom” Starring: Paula Patton, Mike Epps, Angela Bassett, Laz Alonso, Loretta Devine Directed by: Salim Akil Running time: 108 minutes Rated: PG-13 for adult content, strong language ★★★
Sabrina is supposed to be a morally complicated figure , and Jason has his own share of intriguing hang-ups about his family. Yet there’s nothing at stake between them; of course, they’re going to end up together and help their warring families find common ground. Still, there’s something to be said for a movie that attempts to reckon with class and cultural differences among contemporary African-Americans. And the filmmakers are at least smart enough to fill out the story with sweet subplots and funny supporting players. Hardly groundbreaking or even especially memorable, but “Jumping the Broom” (the title refers to a wedding tradition among black families) nonetheless leaves a smile on your face.

OSCOW – Four of the most impressive streaks in Lackawanna County high school sports continued Monday when the Valley View boys and Abington Heights girls claimed Lackawanna Track Conference Division 1 titles. Valley View won its 41st straight conference meet and sixth straight division title with an 87-63 victory over host North Pocono.
Abington Heights extended its streaks to 31 meets and five championships with a 114-36 rout at Delaware Valley. Winning championships is business as usual for the Cougars and Lady Comets, but this season’s title had extra significance for Valley View, which returned to Division 1 after winning five straight titles in Division 2. “It was a lot more special,” Valley View coach Brian Kearney said. “Not taking away from any other year, but it was special moving up and being able to win our division anyway.” North Pocono was the defend-
ing Division 1 champion and entered the regular-season finale undefeated and tied for the lead. The Cougars quickly established control by winning the first seven events on the track, including two relays, one of which was a school record time of 8:12.7 by Ryan Campbell, Aaron Wilkinson, Jordan Siddons and Brandon Bednash in the 3200. Valley View opened a 51-22 lead before North Pocono won on the track for the first time. The Cougars wound up outscoring the TroSee TRACK, Page 38 J. MICHAEL SCHIRRA PHOTO / FOR GO LACKAWANNA

SCRANTON – If the Lackawanna Track Conference was going to catch up to the Abington Heights girls, this seemed like the year to get the job done. Instead, the Lady Comets were celebrating again this week when the regular-season ended with a fifth straight division title and the postseason began with Thursday’s championship in the Jordan Relays. Abington Heights has won five straight and seven of the last eight Class AAA girls’ titles at the Jordan Relays. Relays have always been a strong suit of the Lady Comets and they were again Thursday when the 50 points – out of a possible 60 – put up by Abington Heights was the most of any of the four champions. The Lady Comets have kept rolling even after losing three straight strong graduating classes, capped by the 2010 class of state champion and current University of Pittsburgh sprinter Jordan Hoyt and multiple statemedal winners Krista Matsko and Brittney Martin. All three had relays among their state medals. “We have a very young group of girls with very big shoes to fill based on our last four years,” Abington Heights coach Frank Passetti said. “We had sophomores and freshmen all over the track. They really held up well to the pressure and gave it all they have.” Seniors like Stephanie Lalos, Sarah Gronsky and Maggie Fruehan and junior Elisia Cadman certainly have made major contributions, but Abington Heights would not have been

Four homers pound Pocono
Four innings. Four at-bats. Four home runs. Dan Pisanchyn turned in the ultimate 4-for-4 effort for the Abington Heights baseball team Thursday afternoon, hitting homers in each at-bat to help the Comets end the Lackawanna League Division 1 game at North Pocono in just four innings, 25-10. Pisanchyn nearly duplicated the effort of Scranton’s Tyler Buckley, who hit four home runs in four swings on the same field in a 2009 game. Thursday was a big day for sluggers. Joe McCarthy hit two home runs for Division 1 leader Scranton, which extended the league’s only unbeaten record through nine games in a 10-4 victory over Delaware Valley. BOYS’ TENNIS Abington Heights, Scranton Prep and Holy Cross finished off Lackawanna League division championship seasons. The Comets and Cavaliers went unbeaten while winning Divisions 1 and 2. Holy Cross needed a playoff victory over rival Dunmore to take Division 3. District 2 team tournament play got underway Thursday but the first matches involving Lackawanna County teams are not until Monday. Fifth-seeded Valley View is at fourth-seeded Montrose and sixth-seeded Holy Cross is at third-seeded Dallas Monday in Class AA quarterfinals. Scranton Prep has a bye into Tuesday’s 12:30 semifinals at Kirby Park. Abington Heights has a bye into the District 2-4 Class AAA semifinals Tuesday at 11:30 at Kirby Park. The finals of both tournaments are scheduled for later Tuesday. Singles play is scheduled for Thursday and Friday with the doubles tournament set for May 18 and 19. BOYS’ VOLLEYBALL Lackawanna Trail (10-1) has clinched at least a tie for the Lackawanna League title. The Lions defeated thirdplace Forest City, 25-14, 23-25, 25-15, 25-14 Thursday then extended their winning streak to five with a 25-17, 25-18, 25-7

ALEVILLE – North Pocono’s hopes of a fourth Wyoming Valley Conference boys’ volleyball title in the last five seasons took a major hit Thursday night, but the way the Trojans rallied after a rough start against Holy Redeemer shows that they still are a serious threat to win a fifth straight District 2 Class AA championship.
The Trojans won their first 11 matches before falling to the Royals, 25-13, 28-26, 17-25, 25-22 in the showdown between the last two unbeatens in the conference. “Without a doubt, as a new coach coming in, I wanted to keep the continuity and keep everything together, and we did that,” said Bill Kline, who was named to replace Chris Summa just before the start of preseason practice. “I was around the program because my son (Will) was on the JV team, so I knew what was here. “We had no different expectations than to be where we were going into tonight. I was very confident in the boys and they have responded.” Although they could not pull out a win, the Trojans even had a response to Holy Redeemer’s blazing start in which the Royals seemed to win every battle at the net while opening a 22-9 lead. North Pocono won more points the rest of the way (7773) but was unable to get those that it needed to close out wins in the second and fourth games. “After Game One, we went toe-to-toe with them,” Kline said. North Pocono had a 9-4 lead early in Game Two, lost the advantage, then had it back with a chance at the winning point twice. Pete Alexis, a 6-foot-11 Penn State basketball recruit, had the kills that prevented the Trojans from clinching after leads of 2423 and 26-25.

Holy Redeemer’s Peter Alexis hits the ball over North Pocono’s Brent Bisignani, left, and Dom Verdetto, Thursday night at Pocono High School.
North Pocono made him work, but Alexis finished with 24 kills. The Trojans led, 23-9, in Game Three but had to fight off a rally that slowed their momentum some going into what proved to be the final game. Cory Hannon served five straight points for a 21-18 North Pocono lead in Game Four, but Alexis had three more late kills, including on the deciding point. Holy Redeemer had a big week, first beating Coughlin, which started the week in third place, then breaking the tie at the top. “We were looking at this entire week: Coughlin Monday and North Pocono Thursday,” Alexis said. “When you looked at it, everything about the season built up to these two matches.” Robert Wingert had a strong all-around game for the Royals with 39 assists, 14 service points, six kills and four blocks. Dom Verdetto had 10 kills and
seven blocks for North Pocono. Ryan Rinaldi had 20 assists, three kills and four blocks. Tim Cummings had seven kills, three digs and 10 service points. Matt Bartkowski had five kills and three digs. Hannon had 12 service points. “We’re going to see them again,” Kline said. “This was a league match. “The next time we face them is going to be a bit more important, in districts.” Holy Redeemer’s toughest remaining league challenge is with Abington Heights, which moved into third place at 10-2 with a pair of wins. The Royals host the Comets May 17. The latest win for Abington Heights was 25-17, 24-26, 25-15, 25-23 over Dallas Thursday. Drew Shumaker had 11 kills and three digs, Andy McLane had 10 service points and nine kills and Eric Wasser had 35 assists and 15 service points for the Comets.

TOP STORY University of Scranton sophomore Tim McGurrin was selected as a first-team Landmark Conference men’s tennis all-star in both singles and doubles. Freshman David Teres earned the same all-star status and was selected as the conference Rookie of the Year in voting by the head coaches. McGurrin, a Clarks Summit resident, was 6-0 in the conference at number-two singles and teamed with Teres to go 5-1 in the conference at number-one doubles. Senior Carl Caceres was selected for the fourth straight year, earning a spot on the second team as a singles player. SEASON AWARDS Baptist Bible College’s Kacee Rava was named Colonial States Athletic Conference Rookie of the Year. Rava batted .416 and went 13-2 with two shutouts as a pitcher. Keystone College’s Carissa Iyoob, Marywood University shortstop Kim Lope and outfielder Meghin Palmer and Baptist Bible third baseman Erin Law were among the first-team allstars. BBC catcher Karin Mowry and Marywood designated player Kaitlyn Brennan made the second team. Iyoob, a senior from Valley View, was Keystone’s top hitter and pitcher.

Scranton’s Danielle Wylie was a first-team Landmark women’s tennis singles all-star and joined Elisha Connell to form a secondteam doubles combination. Attacker William Roerden and midfielder George Downey IV represented Marywood as first-team Colonial States Athletic Conference men’s lacrosse all-stars. Nick Parks, Nick Johnson, Jimmy Drescher and goalkeeper Jesse Habich made the second team while John Pelligrini received honorable mention. WEEKLY HONORS Keystone College’s Bryan Henry received his third CSAC Baseball Player of the Week award while pitcher Jeremy Beeching made the Honor Roll. Beeching, a senior from Valley View, struck out 13 and allowed just two hits in six innings. PLAYOFF GAMES Marywood and Baptist Bible turned Saturday’s CSAC men’s tennis championship match in Easton into a meeting of local rivals when both won semifinals
Friday. Marywood shut out Cabrini, 5-0, and had commanding leads in two of the matches that were unfinished when the top-seeded Pacers clinched the win, ending the match. Baptist Bible knocked out Keystone College, 5-2, to become the first Defenders men’s team to reach a CSAC final in any sport. Kimberly Commisso had seven goals and an assist Wednesday when Marywood defeated Neumann University, 21-13, in the semifinals to advance to its first CSAC women’s lacrosse final Saturday against GwyneddMercy College. Taylor Nelson and Mike Rufo scored three goals each Wednesday when Scranton defeated Catholic, 12-9, in the Landmark men’s lacrosse semifinals to advance into Saturday’s final against Goucher. Marywood won its first two CSAC softball playoff games, eliminating Baptist Bible, 6-1, Thursday to reach the fourteam, double-elimination portion of the tournament. Stine threw a three-hitter with 12 strikeouts and hit the
game-winning, two-run homer in the fifth inning for the Pacers. Marywood then used homers from Dommes and Brennan to defeat top-seeded Neumann, 5-3, Friday before falling to Centennary, 4-3, later in the day on two runs in the bottom of the seventh. Moravian defeated Scranton, 7-1, Friday in the first game of the Landmark Conference’s four-team, double-elimination softball tournament. Scranton cut into a six-goal deficit and got four goals from Katie Slade, but Drew held on for a 10-8 triumph Wednesday in a Landmark women’s lacrosse semifinal. NEW COACHES Dominique Lemire-Ross has been hired to take over the women’s tennis program at Marywood University. Lemire-Ross spent the last three seasons as head coach at Dallas High School.

BILL ARSENAULT provisional effort. “It’s awesome and the best feeling ever to set a school record at the Penn Relays,” Doyle said. “I had a lot of adrenaline during the event. Everybody was cheering and clapping so that added to the excitement. When I let my first throw of the finals go, it felt almost perfect and I knew it would be a personal best when I let it go.” Doyle traveled to Shippensburg last Saturday for the Paul Kaiser Invitational and won the shot (45-2), finished second in the discus (128-6) and had a personal best in the hammer to finish fourth (143-8). She will compete in the PSAC Championships next weekend in Slippery Rock. She was named Freshman of the Year in last year’s meet after finishing first in the shot (44-2), 10th in the discus (108-09) and 15th in the hammer (132-10). She’s improved on all three marks this season. STINE IN THE RUNNING Albright senior Gabby Stine (Valley View) is competing in the Middle Atlantic Conference Outdoor Track Championships this weekend. “Gabby has qualified in the 3000 meter steeplechase,” coach Deneen Ebling said. “I also expect her to run a leg of the 4x800 relay.” The versatile Stine has career marks in the 800 (2:42.27), the 1500 (5:25.88), the 5000 (21:43.39) and the mile (6:03.40). She prepped for the MAC meet by posting a 1500 time of 5:37.29 in the Paul Kaiser Classic at Shippensburg. “Gabby continues to be a quiet leader on the team and strives to improve her performances,” Ebling said.

Doyle (Lakeland) is a sophomore at Kutztown University and one of the top performers in the weights with the women’s track team. At the 177th Penn Relays, which drew close to 20,000 high school and college athletes and drew over 100,000 fans, Doyle finished third in the Eastern College Division on opening day last Thursday.

ophomore Emily Orr (Abington Heights) is pitching for the Fairfield softball team, which is currently 28-18 overall and leading the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference with a 10-2 mark. Orr, a left-hander, has a 2-1 record with a 3.41 earned run average. In 12.1 innings, she’s given up 17 hits and six runs, all earned. She’s walked five and struck out seven. The highlight of the season was a five-inning no-hitter in an 8-0 non-league victory over Hartford. A second-inning walk cost her a perfect game. “Emily has become a strong competitor this spring,” coach Julie Brzezinski said. “I honestly consider her a ‘pitcher’ and not just someone who pitches. She knows the game and her opponents’ weaknesses and uses her off speed pitches to keep them off balance.” Orr is one of four pitchers behind senior standout Sarah Minice. “Emily has been limited as the duties after Minice has been streamed out,” Brzezinski said. “Next year, however, she will be one of three pitchers and we are really looking forward to her continued improvement with all facets of her pitching game.”

Sophomores Kelsey O’Donnell, Taylor Ross, Jess McMinn and Alex Chapman and freshmen Isabelle Clauss, Erin Jaeger, Missy Burke and Jen Burke were all prominent in Thursday’s title. The Jordan Relays, with their 56-year history, is one of the area’s most prestigious events. With field athletes sitting out and without a league title on the line or the combination of district titles and state qualifying berths at stake, it does not, however, have the implications of the meets that are ahead at Scranton Memorial Stadium.

While Abington Heights celebrated the continuation of the longest current string of success in the event, the Valley View boys were able to use the Jordan Relays as part of their ongoing transition to their new level of competition. The Elk Lake program also had a night to show it could compete with the bigger schools. Valley View is about to see if it can move up from Class AA to Class AAA champion on the district level after moving from Division 2 to Division1champion in the LTC regular season. “Being on this track for the first time this year gives the kids a look at some of the competition they’re going to face,” Valley View coach Brian Kearney said. “Even though it’s just relays, it gives you some idea.” Elk Lake, which swept the Class AA titles, has at its base the strength

The Western Wayne girls and Elk Lake boys matched Valley View’s accomplishment of wrapping up titles with victories in head-to-head meetings of their division’s final unbeatens. Western Wayne beat Holy Cross, 93-57, in Division 2 girls. Elk Lake swept the Division 3 championships, beating Blue Ridge, 89-61, in the boys’ showdown and rolling to a 113-34 victory in girls.

Coach Will Squier’s training philosophy will keep the Warriors from showcasing their distance runners in Tuesday’s Robert Spagna Lackawanna Conference Championship meet, so this was their chance to compete against the Division1and 2 schools. Although the meet is scored as separate Class AAA and AA events, the top teams go head-to-head. Elk Lake not only took the first-place Class AA points, it also beat the winning Class AAA team in half of the six boys’ races and one of the girls’ events – both1600 medleys, plus the distance medley and 3200 relay on the boys’ side. “We wanted to come down here and make a statement,” Squier said. “We haven’t had a chance to run against the Division1and 2 teams. “The kids want to let everyone know that we’re running up there, too.”
