Signs say you’ll never read this As if the religious posturing that’s taken place over the past few weeks wasn’t enough, including a billboard advertising the saving of some along Route 6 near Dunmore, a document released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention makes me think you may never get a chance to read this column.

If nothing else, I hope you’re clutching a Go Lackawanna as you’re either rescued into Rapture or beating off a brain-hungry zombie.

Far be it from me to doubt the religious “expertise” of Christian radio broadcaster Harold Camping, but I don’t think “waiting for the Rapture” is an appropriate excuse to miss my deadline.

BEHIND THE BYLINES CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES I’m actually more concerned with my family being attacked by our dear departed while I’m in the office and being welcomed home with a mauling.

Save for the consumption of human flesh, it wouldn’t be much different from how my children welcome me home on non-apocalyptic days.

If the Rapture has happened

by Saturday evening, as Camping predicts it will, there’s a part of me that believes I won’t be stripped of my clothes atop the Electric City parking garage in downtown Scranton and carried

into the heavens.

I’m a nice guy, but I’m not THAT nice.

If it doesn’t happen at all, it seems Camping has found a wonderful way to make a living in 17-year cycles. He previously predicted the Rapture in 1994. If he lives to be 106, expect more discussions on it in 2028.

According to CNN Money, Camping’s organization, Family Radio, “received $80 million in contributions between 2005 and 2009.” He founded the nonprofit Christian radio network in 1958.

But if the Rapture is happening, why continue to amass a fortune through the faithful?

That’s a topic for another time.

Meanwhile, in a scary, nonreligious view of the end of days, the CDC released a blog on surviving the zombie apocalypse.

“You may laugh now, but when

it happens you’ll be happy you read this, and hey, maybe you’ll even learn a thing or two about how to prepare for a real emergency,” blogger Ali Khan posted on the CDC Web site on May 16.

It’s a tongue-in-cheek look at the horror movie moneymaker (sound familiar?) that provides real life disaster preparedness tips.

Given all of my “film research,” I think I’m actually more prepared for the dead to walk the Earth than the living to rise from it.

Either way, I’ll probably be here when either happens. I should probably re-take the Facebook quiz on how long I’d survive after the dawn of the dead just to be safe.

And you’ll probably read about it here next week.

If it happens.

If it’s the end of the world as we know it, then Christopher J. Hughes feels fine. E-mail him at chughes@golackawanna.com.

Bloods gangs operated side-by-side

Those involved were responsible for the “distribution and sale of an estimated $750,000 worth of crack cocaine, cocaine, marijuana and LSD over the past six months,” Ryan said.

The collaborative effort between the attorney general’s office, the Scranton Police Department, the Lackawanna County District Attorney’s office, and state and federal law enforcement agencies uncovered a tie

between two separate Scranton organizations that were both believed to be linked to the Bloods street gang in New York City.

“Both of these organizations allegedly supplied drugs to a wide ranging group of street-level dealers and customers throughout the Scranton area,” Ryan said.

PRIMARY ELECTION 2011

Wansacz, O’Brien to face O’Malley, Jones

Dems who fiercely battled in primary now running mates

By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES and RICH HOWELLS Go Lackawanna staff

SCRANTON – Jim Wansacz is going to Disney World.

The former state representative who served the 114th legislative district for 10 years was the top vote recipient in Tuesday’s primary election in a seven-way race for Lackawanna County Commissioner, according to unofficial results.

But Wansacz, who celebrated the win at a Democrat Party rally at the Genetti Manor in Dickson City with about 150 supporters, isn’t going to celebrate topping the ticket that was filled with attacks in the final weeks leading to Tuesday. He’s going to spend much-needed time with his wife, Maria, and daughter, Nadia Rose during a weeklong stay in Florida.

“We jump on a plane Thursday morning,” Wansacz said just after 11 p.m. “A campaign is brutal on a family. I’m looking forward to spending time with my wife and daughter.”

The emotional Wansacz ran on a ticket with fellow endorsed candidate, Scranton School Director Brian Jeffers who left his job with the State Workers’ In-

surance Fund to continue the campaign.

“Part of this team did lose, and my journey ends here tonight, but the journey continues for Jim Wansacz,” Jeffers said. “Everyone here tonight needs to work on that campaign with his new partner Corey O’Brien going forward.”

Wansacz attempted to put to rest any question about his ability to field a Democrat ticket alongside O’Brien, the sitting Lackawanna County Commissioner who trailed Wansacz by about 1,100 votes in preliminary returns. All results are preliminary until they are certified.

“We’ve got to come together – quit the fighting, quit the bickering – and try to move forward,” Wansacz said.

Attack ads alleging O’Brien had his sights on a congressional run in 2012 and countering ads concerning Wansacz’s employment after losing a bid for a seat in the state senate later won by Sen. John Blake, Archbald, filled television time in Lackawanna County.

“It was a tough campaign,” Wansacz said. “Unfortunately, there were too many things said that I wish were never said. But

Ware wins both sides of ballot in Green Ridge judge race

By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES chughes@golackawanna.com

SCRANTON – Lackawanna County Assistant District Attorney walked away from Tuesday’s primary with a nomination from voters on both sides of the ballot, according to preliminary results.

Paul Ware, 44, of Green Ridge, gathered 392 votes on the Republican ticket and 2,512 among Democrat voters – 201 more and 541 more, respectively, than Atty. Frank O’Neill, 54, of Dunmore.

All results are unofficial until certified.

Ware was at home watching results

come in Tuesday. The earliest tallies from Dunmore appeared positive, and support continued throughout the night.

“We needed to hold our own in Dunmore, Ware and we did that early,” Ware said in a phone interview Wednesday as passersby continued to shout congratulations.

The district, which now combines the two districts that previously served North Scranton/Green Ridge and Dunmore separately, will carry one of the

largest caseloads in the county, Ware told Go Lackawanna last week. His father-in-law, James Kennedy, held the seat in Green Ridge and North Scranton for close to 35 years before his retirement in December.

“We were working toward the nomination for both parties and were obviously pleasantly surprised,” Ware said.

“We put as much effort into the Republican side as we did the Democratic side.”

Ware now returns to his position in the District Attorney’s office. Because the general election is now uncontested, he can end a leave of absence he

took to run his campaign.

He said he was proud to run a clean campaign alongside the other four in the race – O’Neill, retired PIAA basketball official Robert Timlin of North Scranton, Atty. Robert Trichilo of Dunmore, and Dunmore resident Donald Sabatell.

“My opponents in this race were very tough competitors. They worked very hard and they made us work harder.

They brought out the best in this race.

Everyone ran a very clean, professional, courteous race, and I believe that’s the way it should be for a judicial position,” Ware said.

“I think he’s a great guy, and I think he’s going to be a formidable opponent,” DiBileo said of Castellani. “We’ll discuss the issues and put forth everything we can to try to convince the voters why we’re the best candidate.”

The Democrat nominee said he missed several family events to run his campaign, but he worked hard to earn victory on Tuesday.

“Tonight it’s about celebration for me. After tonight, we start thinking about November,” he said.

Incumbent city councilmen top ballots

By RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com

McGoff, a former council president and sitting member for over five years, felt that his incumbency played a role in his victory, but also believes that voters appreciated his often dissenting voice on council.

“People recognize somebody making an honest attempt to work towards the betterment of the city. Maybe people wanted someone there that’s not just going to go along with everything the majority wants,” he explained.

DUNMORE - The power of a single vote - or two - became evident Tuesday night when Councilman Vito Ruggiero beat challenger Damon Bowen by two votes in the race for Dunmore Borough Council, according to early results.

No Republicans ran formal campaigns for seats on Dunmore council.

This year’s primary election saw five candidates seek four 4year terms on council with four incumbent candidates who ran together as a team: Council President Sal Verrastro, Vice President Paul Nardozzi and Councilmen Michael McHale and Ruggiero.

An election was also held for a two-year term seat to complete Councilman Gene Ruddy’s unexpired term with challenger Michael Hayes beating incumbent Councilman Sandy Cancelleri, who also ran as a part of the team with his fellow councilmen.

Ruggiero explained that the results of the election were not immediately clear on election night.

“The early numbers we got in actually showed me being defeated by 58 votes,” he said.

“What happened was there was a transcription error when they were reading the tallies…It was confirmed on the Lackawanna County Bureau of Elections Web site that we have the right numbers now, and it shows me being victorious by two votes. It just goes to show you that every vote counts.”

Ruggiero received 1,759 votes to Bowen’s 1,757. Both men received 18 percent of the overall vote.

Bowen plans on asking for a manual recount of the votes so that everyone can be sure of the outcome because it was so close.

“I think the people who voted for me and the people who voted for Vito both deserve to know that the count is the count,” Bowen said. “I am not questioning anything; I just want to make sure.”

Bowen also explained that for the first time in a long time, the elections in Dunmore were about issues, not about personalities.

“There was no bickering back and forth between candidates, and I think that’s good.

Beyond that, I will just wait until everything gets settled up and move on from there,” he said. “Either way, I know that the people of Dunmore are being well represented, whether it is myself or Vito.”

“He would be an asset to the borough so it is kind of bittersweet,” Ruggerio said of Bowen. “He has the best interest of the residents at heart as well, so it is unfortunate that everyone could not win.

“I will continue to work hard for the borough as I have been and to work for the best interest of the residents. I think Dunmore will continue to move forward just like we have been.”

Newly-elected Councilman Hayes received 1,691 votes, or 55.8 percent, to Cancelleri’s 1,342 votes, or 44.2 percent.

Hayes is expected to begin his two-year term in January 2012.

“We have contracts coming up in the next two years and we have a lot of growth potential in the borough over the next several years. I think my role will be to help usher in a new era of doing things,” Hayes said.

Cancelleri explained that, despite the election’s outcome, he only wants what is best for the borough.

“I accept the results, I congratulate Michael Hayes and I wish him success in the future,” he said. “I hope we still continue with the policies we are pursuing to try to get out of the situation we are in.”

McHale received the highest number of votes, 2,388 or 24.4 percent. He explained that while the council will miss Cancelleri’s presence.

“He had a lot of experience so, of course, we are going to miss Sandy, but we will welcome Mike with open arms,” McHale said.

SCRANTON – Two familiar faces on City Council walked away with the Democratic nominations on Tuesday, and both carry their own views on the future direction of council and the city.

Council incumbents Bob McGoff and Jack Loscombe will move on to the general election in November, joined by Lee Morgan, the lone Republican seeking one of the two available seats. McGoff received 27.2 percent of the vote, according to Lackawanna County’s unofficial results, and Loscombe received 19.9 percent, narrowly beating runner-up Joe Wechsler at 19.2

percent.

Giovanni Piccolino received 16.5 percent, Tom Charles earned 9.6 percent, and Doug Miller took 7.6 percent, according to unofficial results. Morgan ran uncontested in the Republican race and received 1,208 votes, but Loscombe said Friday that he believes that he was also the top write-in candidate on the Republican side, allowing him to be on both ballots in November.

“From the response I had gotten as I went around talking to people, I felt pretty good about my chances,” McGoff said on Wednesday. “It was a little gratifying, as far as I’m concerned, to get that kind of number.”

SCRANTON – Former Scranton City Councilman Gary DiBileo handily defeated County Controller Ken McDowell in Tuesday’s primary election, more than doubling McDowell’s vote tally according to preliminary results.

“The night started off very well, and it just kept getting better and better,” said DiBileo, who celebrated with other endorsed Democrats at Genetti Manor in Dickson City. “It just shows that they have great faith in me to step in there and be trustworthy and accountable with their tax dollars.”

DiBileo said he was approached by many people who encouraged him to seek the seat.

“It made more and more sense as time went by that this was the kind of office I could step into and really benefit the taxpayers of Lackawanna County,” he said.

Former controller John Mellow collected 6,725 votes in the primary, and unopposed Republican candidate Robert Castellani gathered 6,489 votes on Tues-

Annual ‘Running of the Saints’ in Jessup is May 28

f you see crowds of people lining Jessup’s Church Street late in the afternoon on May 28 and begin to hear classic Italian songs like “Eh Cumpare” and “Volare,” don’t get alarmed. You haven’t accidentally been transported to Gubbio, Italy, but you’re awfully close.

Jessup is the only other town in the world besides Gubbio to celebrate St. Ubaldo Day. The day-long festivities culminate with La Corsa dei Ceri, or “The Running of the Saints”, where statues honoring St. Ubaldo, St. Anthony, and St. George are set high atop wooden structures called ceri and raced through the streets of the town.

Legend has it that St. Ubaldo protected Gubbio twice from invasion while he was bishop during the 1100s. After successfully negotiating peace, St. Ubaldo was placed on a platform and carried through the streets of Gubbio to show citizens that he was safe.

La Corsa dei Ceri was brought to Jessup by immigrants from Gubbio.

“We try to follow the traditions from Gubbio’s festa as close as possible,” said Paul Angeloni, president of the St. Ubaldo Society. The St. Ubaldo Society was formed to promote La Corsa dei Ceri in Jessup as well as to preserve the town’s Umbrian heritage.

“We don’t have 12th century castles in Jessup, but we do our best. There are only two places in the world where the event is held and that’s Gubbio, Italy and Jessup, Pa. Because the cities are still very closely tied together, there are groups of people who travel from Jessup to Gubbio for their event, which is held on May 15 and there are groups of people who travel from Gubbio to Jessup for our event, which is always the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend.

St. Ubaldo Day almost became a part of the pages of Jessup’s history. In the early 1900s, the town stopped celebrating the festival, but it was brought back in 2000 and is now considered the most popular event in town.

“St. Ubaldo Day is arguably the highlight of the year in Jessup. May is kind of our month in Jessup and everybody looks to our town for St. Ubaldo Day and the Hose Company Carnival and the Homemade Wine Tasting competition. It is our kick off to the summer season and it is a month that means a lot to us,” Angeloni said.

Angeloni explained that, although there is friendly competition between the teams of St. Ubaldo, St. Anthony, and St. George, La Corsa dei Ceri is really about fostering community pride in Jessup.

“Race is probably not the best word to use to describe the event. It is something that gets lost in translation,” he said.

“When it is translated from corsa dei ceri, which is the course or the running of the saints, in Gubbio, when it was transplanted here it got transformed into the race of the saints. It is not truly a race in the sense that there is a winner and a loser and a first, second, and third place.”

SCRANTON – A Harrisburg manwasfatallyshotinsideatroubled South Scranton bar late Monday evening, according to the Scranton Police Department andtheLackawannaCountyCoroner.

Malik Asad Carter, 28, of Harrisburg, died after he was shot in the head once on Monday, Coroner Tim Rowland said in an email message Tuesday afternoon.

Carter’s death is the first homicide in the city of Scranton this year and the second in five months. On Dec. 23, police discovered the frozen body of Michael Jackson, 24, of Yonkers, N.Y., in a wooded area off of Saginaw Street.

The Harrisburg man is also the latest victim of violence inside Finn McCool’s, which is currently condemned according to Scranton Police Chief Dan Duffy.

On May 12, 23-year-old Breeze Jackson, of Wyoming Ave., Scranton, assaulted at least three people during a fight inside the bar that continued outside. Johnson was arraigned on May 12 on two counts each of aggravated assault, simple assault and reckless endangerment and held for $10,000 bail. A preliminary hear-

ing is set for May 23.

According to Duffy, Monday’s shooting happened after 11 p.m.

Upon responding, police discovered one male, later identified as Carter, with an apparent gunshot wound laying in an entranceway inside Finn McCool’s.

Police interviewed witnesses Monday night, and interviews continued through Tuesday afternoon, Duffy said.

“We’re hoping to narrow it down to find a suspect in this case,” he said.

The incident does not appear to be a random act of violence, the chief said.

Duffy said he’s been familiar with calls and a “history of violence” at the South Scranton bar for several months. During a saturation patrol last fall, shots were fired inside the bar as Duffy and Capt. Carl Graziano approached the door, he said. It could take some time to have the bar classified as a nuisance bar, however.

Carter wasn’t a stranger to Scranton, according to court records. He entered a guilty plea in magisterial court for providing false identification to law enforcement in January 2011 and was charged with possession of a controlled substance with the intent to deliver in September 2004.

Bike runs aid needy residents

By STEPHANIE LONGO For Go Lackawanna

DUNMORE - On May 22 and June 5, The Bar at the Patch, 110 W. Grove St., Dunmore, will participate in two bike runs to help raise money to benefit local residents battling medical conditions. The first bike run is part of HMA, the Human Motorcycle Association, while the second is part of “All for a Cause”, which is an organization run by The Bar at the Patch.

The HMA run will conclude at The Bar at The Patch and will benefit Willie Wozniak of Old Forge and Dawn Biagioli Miller of Scranton. Wozniak recently suffered a stroke while Miller has leukemia and is in liver failure.

“HMA has their own group and I am good friends with a lot of them, and we help each other out whenever we can,” said Angelo Naro, owner of The Bar at the Patch. “Usually about two to three times a year we do this. They will bring about 50 or 60 bikers to our event and they will help us.”

The May 22 run will take place outside The Bar at the Patch from 2 to 7 p.m. West Grove Street in Dunmore be-

tween Madison and Monroe avenues will be closed during those times.

The “All for a Cause” bike run on June 5 will benefit four local residents: Rudy DelFino of Dunmore, Nancy Shmittinger of Greenfield Twp., Bill Danowski of Wilkes-Barre, and Rick Quinn of Dunmore. DelFino has stage 4 prostate cancer and Shmittinger is suffering from breast cancer while Danowski has lung cancer that spread to his brain and Quinn has heart failure and is in need of a transplant.

Naro said that effort has expanded over the years.

“We had some friends and we helped some kids a couple years ago and that is how it began,” he said. “We helped my cousin one year who had cancer. It first started with 70 bikes and now last year we were at 300. We have about 80 or 90 people that help us out. We have a big group. Everybody pulls together and tries to help other people.

“We are fortunate that we have healthy families and we feel like giving something back.”

The “All for a Cause” bike run will begin on Saturday, June 5, with a breakfast at the

Dunmore Community Center from 9 to 11 a.m. where riders can sign in and enjoy a show by DC Freestyle. Following breakfast, the run will leave the community center with a police escort from Dunmore to Waymart.

Previous runs have been very successful, he said.

“Last year we raised $12,000 in the rain. If we get a nice day, I really think we could hopefully raise about $20,000, but we are at the mercy of the weather with the bikes.”

On June 5, West Grove Street in Dunmore between Madison and Monroe Avenues will be closed from noon until 9 p.m. to accommodate the block party, which will include local bands, games, gift baskets, and food tents.

“We encourage more people than just the bikers to come,” Naro said. “We have more of a family atmosphere; we have kid games and stuff like that. It is a bike run/block party and we want to get people there.”

Naro said neither run would be possible without the support of the bikers.

Federal grants aid heritage trail

U.S. Rep. Tom Marino, Lackawanna Heritage Valley Authority Executive Director Natalie Gelb Solfanelli, and Lackawanna County Commissioner Corey O’Brien look over a map of the heritage trail that recently received federal funding.

Solfanelli said the freshman congressman immediately developed an interest in the local heritage-themed work being completed.

“He’s been very engaged in learning about what we do and about the trail, and he immediately joined a bipartisan caucus of congressmen who have parts of heritage areas in their district,” she said of Marino.

Completed portions of the trail are used daily by residents of the Mid Valley, Solfanelli said.

But the path does more than add a scenic route as an amenity to the Casey Byway.

“Progressive communities have progressive park systems.

It’s a key component in our long-term economic development,” Lackawanna County Commissioner Corey O’Brien (D) said.

“We hope to have a commercial district along the Lackawanna River. That’s what this trail provides.

“This is not merely a bike path. It’s a pathway to our future.”

And it’s one the congressman hopes to return to.

“I’m a biker. My kids and I, we’re biking all the time…When we travel, we want to go somewhere where we can walk among nature, get on our bicycles and ride in a safe community with nice restaurants and good people.

“That’s what we have here in Archbald,” he said.

“This is a quintessential example of what our tax dollars are doing. I look forward to enjoying the trail myself.”

Due to a grant formally announced Monday, Marino may have similar opportunities on a return visit to the Lackawanna County portion of his congressional district.

Marino joined representatives of the Lackawanna Heritage Valley Authority along Gilmartin Street in Archbald Monday afternoon to announce an $831,825 Federal Highway Administration Grant awarded for the organizations Lackawanna River Heritage Trail.

The grant adds a one-mile section of the Powdermill Rail-Trail from Gilmartin Street to the Lackawanna River Basin Sewer Authority.

When completed, it will create a continuous eight-mile stretch of trail in the county, according to LHVA Executive Director Natalie Gelb Solfanelli.

The grant is one of three that LHVA received for this portion of the trail.

Others include a $300,000 Appalachia Regional Commission grant, and financial support from PennDOT totals $632,832, according to documents provided by LHVA. The funding from the Department of Transportation was one of 94 approved in 39 states from hundreds of applications.

Two other projects were approved in Pennsylvania.

The Lackawanna Heritage Valley Authority will host its Heritage Explorer Bike Tour and Festival on Saturday, June 18, beginning at 8 a.m. at Mellow Park in Peckville. The family-friendly event, which benefits the Lackawanna River Heritage Trail, offers five-, 11-, 22- and 44-mile courses and a Tot Tour for young riders.

Registration is $30 for adults and $45 for a family of six. Visit www.heritageexplorer.org for details.

CRANTON - Standing behind the podium, staring at well over 500 spectators, Brandon Costanzo uttered, “I’m really nervous,” before beginning his speech.

Costanzo was one of more than 70 area residents who graduated from Lackawanna County Treatment Court on Thursday night at the Mellow Theater at Lackawanna College.

Costanzo spoke of some of his experiences with members of the bench, including tales of a troubled teen that always had an answer for everything.

“I once told the judge that I used marijuana because it cures ADHD,” said Costanzo.

He worked hard to become sober, overcoming various trials and tribulations before reaching Thursday’s ceremony.

Loscombe claimed the lack of a contested magisterial district judge race on the city’s West Side produced low voter turnout, reducing his primary voting bloc.

The 2009 re-election of current Council President Janet Evans, along with the election of her running mates Pat Rogan and Frank Joyce that year, led to the formation of a new majority on council that did not favor Mayor Chris Doherty’s agenda, as the prior council majority largely did according to Evans.

The fifth councilman, Bill Courtright, resigned in January

Graduate Pete Graziano said treatment court gave him a chance to be a productive member of society. Once facing years in prison for a string of retail thefts, he spent three years in the drug court system.

“At first I thought of this as a ‘get out of jail free’ card. It took me longer because at first I continued to do everything I did when I was deep into my addiction,” said Graziano.

He credits a particular part of the treatment court with helping him see the wrong path he was on.

“Narc Anon, in Baton Rouge La., really helped me take inventory of myself and the people that love me, my family.”

Graziano, whose drug of choice was opiates, led himself continually through a repetitive cycle of stealing retail items, selling them, scoring opiates and getting high.

This has led to many public clashes over the last year-and-ahalf, including a 2010 lawsuit by the mayor against council over budget amendments.

McGoff said that he believes both sides need to sit down and work together, making this cooperation a cornerstone of his campaign.

“Let’s find the things we at least have a common interest in and work together to finishing them, like the rental registration legislation. Everybody wants that, so let’s sit down and figure out a way to make it work rather than jabbing back and forth and blaming each other,” McGoff said.

“We need to work towards the big thing by the end of the year, which is to put together a budget that is realistic rather than one that’s trying to prove a point.”

Keynote Speaker John Knowles, senior director at Clearbrook Lodge, had some stories of his own as well.

“I was quite a colorful person in my earlier days in South Scranton. I am living proof,” said Knowles as he spoke of his own struggle with drugs and alcohol and eventually his ability

to take control of the disease. “I now live in a home that sits in a neighborhood that I wasn’t allowed anywhere near when I was younger.”

Knowles, who also spoke of his wife and three children, said one man can create a domino effect. His sponsor successfully changed the lives of over 12,000 individuals by getting him into treatment.

Other speakers of the evening included County Commissioner Corey O’Brien and The Rev. Joseph Sica.

Closing remarks were made

by Judge Barrasse, who spearheads the treatment court program.

“Coerced treatment works well because it’s proven that the longer a person continues on with treatment, the better their chances are for success,” said Barrasse.

Lackawanna County was the first county in the area to implement a drug treatment court, and other counties have implemented similar systems in recent years.

Funding cuts and suggestions to discontinue the Abrams program and resume it later when new technology is developed prompted them to invite Marino to experience the importance of their work firsthand.

“Employees that work here were concerned about their jobs. This country was built on the power of our military. We are the greatest country in the world for many reasons, but at the top of the list, it is because of our military,” Marino said.

“This operation is critical to our defense here in the United States. There’s no doubt about that.”

Marino explained that he was visiting U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan about a month ago, everyone was pleased with the quality of their equipment and took pride in their mission.

“They had no reservations climbing in that tank or being part of a team that surrounds that tank. They know what it does, they know how it performs, and they rely on it,” he said.

Marino said each employee at General Dynamics displayed that same pride and was eager to tell him about the part they were personally responsible for.

“We can’t forget about the support staff. Even though these

need this,” he said.

In a recent letter to Congress, Secretary of the Army John McHugh explained that the cost of terminating and later restarting the Abrams program would cost more than just continuing it with more limited production.

Fata said that he Eynon plant has been building critical tank components since 1957 and the workers have always loved what they do. He plans to send out more invitations to other lawmakers so that they are aware of the importance of their jobs.

“The more folks that we can have come visit us and understand the criticality of what we do and what our team performs, the better. I think to educate all the folks and have them come help us is the right thing to do,” Fata said.

“I think it was great that he was able to see what we do here and see that we are good stewards of the government’s money with what we do and what we build here,” Klinkel agreed.

Klinkel appeared before Scranton City Council last month with four other workers to ask for their support as well.

“I’m convinced, particularly here, and with what I’ve seen in other factories that make parts for defense, that we’re getting the bang for our buck,” Marino concluded.

people are here in the United States and not dodging bullets, the quality of work that they do, the sincerity that I just saw on the floor out there proves their dedication. I feel just as good here meeting our troops out on the floor as I did when I was meeting our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan,” Marino said.

He believes the key to America’s success has been a strong military, and said he will do what we can to support the facility and the Abrams and Stryker programs.

“I can take that to Washington and tell my colleagues and tell my chairmen we’re doing the right thing when it comes to voting to keep funding the Department of Defense and the equipment that we need,” Marino said.

“When we prioritize things as far as what we need in this country, we need a strong defense and people in the industry that we can rely on, and we can rely on these people right here.”

Marino believes that there are other areas in the budget that can be “systematically and methodically” trimmed over time to keep these military programs running.

“If the generals and the commanders on the ground say, ‘We need this,’ then I trust them as opposed to someone in Washington saying that we do not

Running ‘The Business’ Bronx, N.Y., native Derrick Ward, 35, also known as “Boss,” ran one of the two side-by-side gangs. The other was operated by Junior “Horse” Jackson, 30, address unknown.

“While these two organizations mayhavetoleratedeachother,the potential for violence remained strong including suspected links to a still unsolved drug-related homicide in the city of Scranton that occurred late last year,” Ryan said.

The frozen body of 24-year-old Michael Jackson was discovered in a wooded area off of Saginaw Street. Police ruled his death a homicide as a result of multiple gunshot wounds.

“That fatal shooting in December 2010 of Michael Jackson remains under active investigation and was a key factor in the initiation of this joint investigation,” Ryan said.

Authories believe that there is a connection between Jackson’s death and the gang operation, and Ryan said “he was active” within the organizations.

“It’s kind of hard to believe that this individual’s death at the time it happened, given everything else we know, was a coincidence,” he said.

The Sun Hotel was typically referred to as “The Business,” and served as a base for both groups, along with a home in the 800 block of Capouse Avenue.

The operation was also run like a business.

Rashad Roper, 21, of Bronx, served as a sort of “human resources director,” according to Ryan, recruiting dealers and runners, arranging transportation, and resolving disputes between the two factions of the Bloods.

Roper, a “lieutenant for Ward,” would stay in Scranton as briefly as 15 minutes while running round trips to New York City, the acting attorney general said.

“Gang members were scolded about keeping customers waiting, cautioned about maintaining the quality of the crack cocaine, and encouraged to market and promote new items in order to help ‘pop’ or increase sales,” Ryan added of their so called customer service efforts.

Sunday, May 22, 2011 about how they conducted their business through “an investment of manpower” to move small amounts of drugs.

“They don’t want to be caught with huge amounts,” Ryan said.

That led authorities to pool available resources, including wiretaps, to build a case. Between January and May 2011, investigators monitored more than 1,100 drug-related telephone conversations that offered “an extremely detailed view of these particular drug operations.”

‘We’re not done’ Mayor Chris Doherty said the arrest of drug- and gang-related criminals will affect future crime levels and hopefully improve the quality of life in neighborhoods in South Scranton, Green Ridge and Dunmore, where many of the criminals lived, according to a press release.

“From this point on, the city is going to be extremely active in not only targeting these areas but in the establishments that are still open,” Doherty said.

“We’re not done. This is going to continue. We’re going to be pushing harder and harder to make sure we get rid of this forever.”

Scranton Police Chief Dan Duffy said many of the names and faces of those arrested are familiar to city officers. And while the immediate investigation shows ties to the Bloods, Duffy said all who participate in organized crime are being watched carefully.

“No matter what organization they affiliate themselves with whether they call themselves Bloods, whether they call themselves Crips – in the end, they’re one big gang of criminals. That’s what it comes down to,” he said.

“This is a significant amount of people that were taken off the streets in our city, and now the associates of these people – I’m giving a stern warning… Do not come to the city of Scranton if you’re going to engage in criminal activity,” Duffy added.

As of Thursday’s 11 a.m. press conference, six suspects were still at large.

“Those six will surely be apprehended,” Duffy said.

The defendants will be prosecuted in Lackawanna County by Senior Deputy Attorney General Lawrence Cherba of the Attorney General’s Drug Strike Force Section along with Lackawanna County District Attorney Andrew Jarbola’s office.

Expert: Gangs had local presence for years

CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES PHOTO / FOR GO LACKAWANNA

Lackawanna County Prison Intelligence Captain and Lackawanna County Gang Task Force Chairman Robert Maguire reviews data in his office on Friday.

“The arrest the other day won’t do much to stop it. However, it does let them know that we’re on to their activities.”

Acting Attorney General Bill Ryan said leaders Ward and Jackson had high-level assistants, mid-level dealers and even a “human resources director” identified as Rashad Roper to solve disputes between the cooperating gangs in South Scranton.

The intricate operation of the business was no surprise to Maguire.

“They are run like an organized crime family. They have a hierarchy – lieutenants and cap-

tains, kind of like how a prison or a military force is run – and they need to answer to their higher-ups.”

Maguire said gang members from New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore have been discovered in this corner of the state for years.

Other gangs that have shown a presence in Lackawanna County include the Crips, Latin Kings, Trinitarios, Sureños, Juggalos, and Outlaws Motorcycle Club.

While the community has been active in reporting graffiti and alleged gang activity, the arrests this week show investiga-

tions don’t occur overnight.

“This goes to show that some of the things that people like to call about, they think they’re going to be handled in a week.

These things take time, and this way you take out a significant portion of a Bloods set,” Maguire said.

While the Lackawanna County District Attorney’s office has worked to quickly remove graffiti along with the county’s community service program, Maguire said it is important to notice tags throughout the area.

“Look for signs of graffiti in your neighborhoods. It’s not all

gang-related, but let your local law enforcement know. We’ll get somebody out to get pictures and track this,” he said.

Other signs of gang activity include colors worn to associate members with national groups.

Colors like red or blue, for Bloods and Crips respectively, are worn on bandanas or hats, but are often in subtle places, like the lining of a pants pocket, Maguire said.

“People need to look in their own neighborhoods. If they see something that’s not right, they need to let law enforcement check it out.”

“They are run like an organized crime family. They have a hierarchy – lieutenants and captains, kind of like how a prison or a military force is run – and they need to answer to their higher-ups.”

SPORTS

“Obviously, the arrest the other day shows that there is a big presence of gangs from New York City operating in the area,” Maguire said.

“Operation Sunset” served warrants on 42 people, arresting 36 by Thursday morning, in relation to the organized sale and purchase of $750,000 in cocaine, marijuana and LSD in the last six months.

The investigation discovered two Bloods gangs that operated side-by-side, led respectively by Derrick “Boss” Ward and Junior “Horse” Jackson.

“They will probably be replaced with other guys. The significant part about it was that they traced it back to New York with higher-ups out there,” Maguire said.

CRANTON – The arrests made this week highlight the presence of the Bloods street gang in Lackawanna County, but Lackawanna County Prison Intelligence Captain and Lackawanna County Gang Task Force Chairman Robert Maguire said even more nationally known gangs have shown a presence in the region for quite some time.

Maguire said he’s been educating schools, crime watch groups and other organizations about the presence of gangs in northeastern Pennsylvania for the last five years.

“West Side’s always been near and dear to my heart…

I’m glad to see that you guys are such a strong and steady group,” Grippo said before speaking to the group at a May 19 meeting at Scranton Police headquarters. The West Scranton resident said she intends to join the group and lauded their efforts so far to better their area of the city.

“You guys see everything that goes on here every day.

We want to help you in every way that we can to im-

prove West Scranton,” she said.

Grippo and Rose Marie Crotti, Community Justice Outreach Program coordinator for Lackawanna County, spoke about the community justice program, which uses the individual expertise of those sentenced to community service to offer low- to no-cost services to the community.

On Saturday, May 21, members of that program conducted work at the Jackson Street skate park that has become a recent focal point for the crime watch.

Adding to public comment, Courtright said, “I’m watching West Side go down the tubes every day, and it’s really irritating me. My hat’s off to you. Whatever I can do to help, I’d be thrilled to help you.”

City: Owner cleaned up cemetery

SCRANTON – City officials said Friday that violations at the Washburn Street Cemetery were resolved before citations were required.

The state of the cemetery characterized by overgrown grass and weeds, illegal dumping, toppled tombstones and more - has been a topic of discussion from members of the public during recent Scranton City Council meetings.

“We sent an inspector out there last week,” Licensing, Inspections and Permits Director Mark Seitzinger said Friday.

“We gave him a notice to rectify the problems – high grass, garbage, vehicles and things like that – and when he reinspected this week, the things that he visually saw were taken care of.”

Seitzinger received a letter from inspector Don McKeon

certifying that the problems have been repaired at this time.

The problems at the cemetery are not new, and Seitzinger said there is a plan in place to continue to enforce proper city code.

“Our guys will stay on top of it,” Seitzinger said.

“It’s unfortunate that we have to be kind of like a parent, but if that’s what it takes for us to make sure that the property gets cleaned up and maintained, then that’s what we’ll do.”

Charles “Chick” Rader, owner of Charles J. Rader Insurance in Scranton, currently owns the Washburn Street Cemetery property along with the Abington Hills Cemetery and the Shady Lane Cemetery, both in South Abington Township.

A previous Washburn cemetery owner, John Rogan, pleaded guilty to theft charges in1992 for embezzling perpetual care funds for years.

New info on Audubon expected at closed meeting

By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES chughes@golackawanna.com

SCRANTON - District officials will conduct a closed-door meeting with Palumbo Construction Management, the district’s construction firm, on Wednesday, May 25, at 9:30 a.m. to discuss plans for John J. Audubon Elementary School, Superintendent William King said in a work session held May 18.

The building was closed in October due to mold problems, and students were first shuffled to John Adams Elementary and then into rented space at St. Mary’s School.

Plans are either to remediate the problems and complete new building requirements at the Mulberry Street building or to demolish the existing structure and rebuild on the same site, according to King.

Rent for St. Mary’s, paid to the Diocese of Scranton, will jump by more than $7,000 to $44,500, King added.

Meanwhile, progress at the district’s new elementary school is moving ahead as planned.

“We’re on schedule. We’ll be

ready to accept staff in during the first week of July,” Assistant Superintendent of Finance Gregg Sunday said of progress at Isaac Tripp Elementary School.

The district is expected to approve their food service contract at Monday’s meeting.

“For the school year, it’s an approximately $3.8 million budget,” Sunday said. A summer feeding program will cost $115,000.

The price of paid lunches will rise by 5 cents to maintain equity in school lunch pricing, according to Aramark General Manager Matt Sfarra.

Director Chris Phillips raised questions about the availability of drinkable water in all schools, which Sfarra said will be a requirement next year. In the meantime, Sfarra said he will look into concerns over the lack of bottled water at John F. Kennedy Elementary.

The district is expected to begin teacher interviews on June 20 after reviewing the 574 applications received this year, according to Director of Personnel Services John Vail.

“That victory last night was an endorsement by the people,” O’Malley said when reached for comment on Wednesday. “I had a great group of people behind me that made a victory possible, and it’s on to November.”

O’Malley’s biggest concern is bringing jobs into Lackawanna County and eliminating the so called “brain drain” – the loss of talented, educated youths from the region. He aims to “spend money wisely and not raise taxes.”

Jones, 23, received his bachelor of science degree in human development from Penn State University on May 14 after completing coursework last fall. He watched results come in inside Ragnacci’s Family Restaurant in Dunmore.

“I’ve always wanted to give a

fresh perspective to voters and good, honest, ethical government. I’m going to continue to do that,” Jones said Wednesday.

Jones wants to conduct weekly meetings during evening hours at different sites throughout the county. He also said he’d lead by example and immediately take a $10,000 pay cut if elected and ask fellow commissioners to do the same.

He looked forward to speaking with O’Malley in the coming days. Both were confident in the newly formed Republican ticket.

Smallacombe said Wednesday afternoon that he had contacted Jones to concede defeat earlier that day. He’s looking forward to completing his third four-year term as mayor of Jermyn that expires in 2013.

“I want to continue doing the work that I’ve done. We’ve accomplished everything that I set out to do when I ran the first time,” he said. “I want to improve on that.”

The Queers still going strong

By RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com

SPORTS

ARTS

Many of the pop punk bands touring today can say they were influenced by The Ramones, but few can say they knew them personally.

The Queers, however, can not IF YOU GO only say they were there but What: The Queers have also continued that rebelwith The-Front lious, independent tradition Where: Eleanor Rigfor decades. by’s, 603 Scranton/ The legendary band, on Carbondale Hightour with their friends in Theway, Jermyn Front, will be stopping for the When: Wednesday, first time in Jermyn at Eleanor May 25, 6:30 p.m. – 11 p.m.

Rigby’s, 603 Scranton/CarCost: $10, $12 bondale Highway, on Wednesday, May 25, in support of their latest record, “Back to the Basement.”

The New Hampshire trio, started by lead singer and guitarist Joe King, a.k.a. Joe Queer, in 1981, started off as a joke but became cult heroes by the 1990s.

The band recently spent a month touring overseas. King says that not even the language barrier can hold back support.

“The kids are about the same. If anything, they go a little crazier, say in Spain or Italy, for

us. But by and large, it’s not hugely different,” he said. “We’re still schlepping it in our van and driving from town to town and having a good time. Some of the crowds have changed. It was more DIY back in the day, but it’s still a pretty good little punk scene. It’s still going good.”

The band hasn’t changed much over the years, save for its line-up. They’re sill playing the same kind of catchy tunes about sex, drugs, drinking, and having a good time that they’ve always been known for. King’s attitude hasn’t shifted much in that time either, as he still listens to the same bands he grew up with and continues to produce the music he loves.

“Playing punk rock is sort of a different universe. I would never want to worry about my credit score and getting up Monday through Friday and going on vacation two weeks a year and making my mortgage payment on time andallthatsortofthing.It’sadifferentlife,andI might not have dental and medical benefits, but there’s definitely benefits to it. That’s how I grew up, traveling around the world playing music,” Joe explained, adding that you “can’t put a price tag” on the experiences he’s had.

“It’s almost like camping behind your parents’housewithyourfriendsinsixthgradeduring the summer. That’s the sort of feeling we have. When we get together, we have a good

time touring.”

The band has always brushed with major fame, sharing stages with Green Day when they were relatively unknown and playing with Marky Ramone, but King said they turned down many offers to sell out along the way, including a spot on the Vans Warped Tour, which he believes is a corporate-run joke filled with bands who take themselves too seriously.

“I think it’s kind of arrogant and conceited to think that you’re so much smarter than the audience. You’ve got to share this big thing and you’re so important and you’re doing them a favor by crawling on stage with a mohawk and a guitar half in tune. C’mon guys, get over yourselves,” King said.

“It’s what I got in punk rock to be against – these big rock star shows where you couldn’t meet the band. The bands are acting like rock stars. The singers are parodies of themselves.”

He’s also not a fan of punk acts who use the stage to “pontificate” their political beliefs, which they often compromise anyway to further their careers.

“The whole thing with the political thing is that the bands don’t have anything to sing about so it’s a shtick. I think it is. I think it’s a See QUEERS, Page 23

Commencing S.T.A.R.W.O.O.D. setlist INFINITE IMPROBABILITY RICH HOWELLS Sarco.

Many Scranton natives can attest to those days. Over eight years ago now which is hard to believe even as I type it - the local psychedelic art rock started act blew minds like it was their job, and I was there from the very beginning.

One of their first shows ever was in the Crystal Room in the Nazareth Student Center at Marywood University, and there was something about them that grabbed me that night and told me to stay.

Unlike so many other bands out there, their music was groovy but smart, danceable but complex. It never took itself seriously, yet they carried

themselves with a confidence that told you they meant business.

In those first few years, Felix Sarco’s Polar Power Manifesto Magnet Supernova (later shortened for obvious reasons) played to a lot of empty or at least sparsely populated venues, in some cases only to me. Each performance, however, felt more and more grand, and when people whispered about them around the city, it was always in a “you’ve GOT to see this” kind of tone.

Much of their mystique, I think, was in the fact that their genre wasn’t easily nailed down due to the various musical influences of each band member. One song would demand emotional resonance, while another would make you laugh when you listened to its lyrics.

No one song could be tacked on to just one genre, and the raw energy of the presentation was a refreshing change from stale cover bands and passing trends.

This was lightening in a bottle, or perhaps a disco ball, and it was only a matter of time before it broke out.

Shows went from crowds of five to crowds of 100, and as they lost a guitarist and gained a synth player, they only grew as they developed what became their signature sound. It had this danceable funkiness that made people slowly uncross their arms and start moving their feet.

Never in my life did I dare dance in front of everyone, yet here I found myself night after night moving to the beat, at least in the best way I knew how as a gangly nerd with no rhythm.

The embarrassment factor never became an issue because when you went to a Sarco show, you knew you were in a good company. Nobody was there to judge you or point out your lack of sex appeal, and it gave me a confidence in myself I sorely needed.

See HOWELLS, Page 21

History is usually best left in the past, but there are always those moments in life you wish you could experience over and over again.

Many of mine were spent in cramped basements, smoke-filled bars, grand ballrooms, cheap concert venues, and echoing arenas, each time to watch something be created that night than can never be again.

Spin those CDs or repeat those playlists all you like – live music can never truly be duplicated. You can see your favorite band 100 times, but each experience is a little bit different, and, eventually, those artists will move on to other things, whether it be new songs or the great beyond.

I’ve had many memorable evenings thanks to these talented men and women, but none have stuck with me so closely as those I had with Felix

That initial trepidation to dance, that awkward “I like this but I don’t know why” feeling – it was happening for a whole new crowd, a whole different generation of people. They would never experience what I did exactly, as S.T.A.R.W.O.O.D. is definitely its own animal, but it brought back fond memories from a time I believed to be long gone.

It seems I gave the band something, too. The fact that Gavin was just as thrilled to see me as I was him and his fiancé, Sofya, was great, but he said it was that familiar, old school energy in the room, that need to impress both the diehards and the newbies,

could have been behind that mask.

Not too long after this obvious revelation came a Facebook event, a debut gig for a band called S.T.A.R.W.O.O.D. at a restaurant called Time in Philadelphia.

Despite it falling in the middle of the work week, I was determined to be at that first show.

My cousin, who had also experienced the Sarco phenomenon, drove down with me, despite neither of us knowing what to expect.

In truth, the only thing unexpected was the venue itself. As we walked into the classy little restaurant on the ground floor, we wondered if we had the right place. Then we found the second floor, an almost hidden room where a completely different, and thankfully much more relaxed, atmosphere co-existed with the downstairs.

How appropriate, I thought, that another hidden gem begin here.

Gavin’s expression as we approached him was priceless. One of the first things he said was one of the first things I had thought myself – how fitting it is that I was witnessing the birth of this

I brought friends sometimes but I often bonded with complete strangers, and once the “regulars” formed, there was no stopping that band. Whether they played downtown or the next state over, I was at almost every show.

This was the music that would get me through college, bad break-ups, and my crappy retail job, so it came to mean a lot to me. It gave me something to belong to that I actually felt a part of. I didn’t just connect with the art or the fans, but with each of the band members as well. I got to know them all personally and found each one to be genuine and distinctive.

I hoped they’d remember these shows as fondly as I did when they made it big.

Just at the height of their popularity, however, they suddenly called it quits. They used to play in the tiny corner of the basement of the Scranton Cultural Center, but for their last show, they filled their ballroom – a

bittersweet night for all involved, I’m sure. It seems that some members wanted to take this thing on the road, while others had lives they couldn’t yet leave behind.

I don’t think I believed it was happening until my weekends became infinitely duller.

Eventually, frontman Gavin Robb moved to California, and any news I received about him came secondhand. Then I heard he was living in Washington, D.C., then Philadelphia. He always had something musical up his sleeve, but nothing that remained consistent from what I gathered.

One day, however, I received a Facebook friend request from a “Gabriel Starwood.” It didn’t take me long to figure out who it was.

There were no samples of what this musician sounded like – only random pictures of a man wearing football shoulder pads with tiny mirrors glued to them and skintight pants. A matching mirrored helmet covered his face, and he claimed on his page to be a “sociopathic time-altering robot warrior of organic design.”

Save cash with library media stash

M

any people have been faced with the difficult task of having to cut their monthly budgets in recent months.

One of the first things to go is entertainment.

Most people have had to cut luxuries such as going to the movies and purchasing music.

The Albright Memorial Library is the key to filling in that gap.

In 2010, the library began offering Blu-Ray discs and today the collection includes more than 1,000 titles. BluRays are high-definition video discs which have five times more detail than traditional DVDs, so colors are more vivid and the picture is sharper.

Blu-Ray discs can only play on Blu-Ray players or Blu-Ray compatible devices such as the Playstation 3.

Blu-Rays can be checked out for a period of seven days.

The collection offers a great mix of classics, such as “Psycho,” “Gone with the Wind,” and “The Wizard of Oz,” to contemporary favorites including “Toy Story,” “Avatar,” and “Twilight.”

The collection also includes music concerts from bands such as U2, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and Madonna and nature films including “Planet Earth,” “Wild Pacific,” and “The National Parks by Ken Burns.”

The library even has the newest releases including “The King’s Speech,” “Tron: Legacy,” “Secretariat,” “The Fighter,” and “Blue Valentine.”

For those that don’t have Blu-Ray players, the library has a DVD collection with over 14,000 titles. The library has an extensive collection of foreign films, classic films and horror movies, as well as new releases and recent favorites.

500 VINE Another popular collection is the library’s TV series DVD section.

It includes classic TV favorites such as “I Love Lucy,” “Lost,” “Law & Order,” and today’s top shows such as “30 Rock,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Mad Men” and “The Office.”

DVDs can be checked out for 7 days and renewed one time.

Music lovers have a friend in the Albright Memorial Library. The library’s CD collection has over 17,000 titles and range from pop and rock, to country and R&B.

Jazz, world music and the Billboard greatest hits compilation CDs are some of the largest and most popular collections at the library.

The library also collects music from local artists, so if you or someone you know are making great music, donate a CD to the collection during your next visit to the library.

Audiobook usage is on the rise. For people with long commutes, listening to a book while battling traffic can help calm one’s nerves.

The library’s audiobook collection includes new releases from authors such as James Patterson, Steve Berry and David Baldacci, as well

as biographies, romances and classics.

Travel is also made easier with Playaways, which are pre-loaded digital audio players. Playaways are great for long trips in planes, cars, or trains and they are the size of a pack of playing cards.

Simply plug in a set of earphones and enjoy your favorite books!

All of these items 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 each week in Go Lackawanna.

The cast of ’Planet Damana’ will bring international poetry, music and a message of peace to the Mellow Theater on Sunday.

Alaoui Mdaghri’s words are set to improvisational jazz, African mystical music, rock and roll and more in languages including English, Italian and Arabic in the 90-minute show.

Bringing the show to Scranton, along with Washington, D.C., benefits both the audience and the performers, according to Grieboski.

“When these things are done in big cities, it doesn’t have the same kind of impact,” he said.

“In a place like Scranton where people don’t necessarily have the opportunity to have this kind of show take place… it really has a lot more impact and benefit for the audience and the performers.”

The family-friendly show offers audience members of all ages the chance to experience the music and poetry of a variety of cultures their the global language of art, he said.

It can also teach viewers a new way to address our problems.

IF YOU GO WHAT: “Planet Damana” WHERE: Mellow Theater at Lackawanna College WHEN: Sunday, May, 22, 7 p.m.

COST: Tickets are $15, $12 for senior citizens and college students with valid ID, or $7.50 for children 12 and under.

INFO: For tickets or more information, call the Mellow Theater Box Office at (570) 955-1455.

“Here we have a voice coming out of the only stable country in North Africa, Morocco, talking about peace and dialogue.

There’s really something there for us to think about and listen to,” Grieboski said.

“The overall message is that there are other ways in the world to deal with conflict… there are other things in the world that are positive and that are beautiful.

"If we focus on the good, there are many more opportunities for dialogue and peace than if we focus only on the negative and the conflict.”

Performance pieces, Grieboski said, are derivative of the poetry of Driss Alaoui Mdaghri, Morocco’s former foreign minister, and his recently published collection, “The Book of Lost Secrets.”

The show takes place on a planet called Damana where the inhabitants look like chess pieces.

“There have been these horrible wars and the people have gotten themselves out of it and decided that, in order to end their conflicts, they’re going to deal with things through competitions of art, music, and poetry,” Grieboski explained.

CRANTON – The words and wisdom of a former foreign minister of Morocco, set to music from around the world, come to life in a special presentation of “Planet Damana” on Sunday evening.

The show, one of only two in the United States, takes place at 7 p.m. inside the Mellow Theater at Lackawanna College, 501Vine St., Scranton.

Tickets are $15, $12 for senior citizens and students with valid ID, and $7.50 for children 12 and under.

Sweeney’s widow, Judy, speaks as his daughters Kara and Rachel look on.

James Rodway, Alan Sweeney’s brother, provides brief remarks before the portrait is unveiled.

Portrait of late LHS chair unveiled Supporters of the Lackawanna Historical Society and friends of its late larger-than-life steward, former chairman Alan Sweeney, gathered in the atrium of the Oppenheim Building on Friday, May 20, for the unveiling of his portrait, as painted by artist Marylou Chibirka.

Following its unveiling, the portrait was presented to his family. A reproduction will be hung inside the Catlin House on Monroe Ave., Scranton, which serves as the home of the 125year-old society.

LHS Director Mary Ann Moran-Savakinus said Sweeney was “charismatic, energetic, knew everything about local history and everything else… He was always

looking to learn more about anything and everything.”

Sweeney died Dec. 5, 2008, after a battle with cancer.

His brother, James Rodway, said Chibirka presented them with the idea to paint his portrait about three months ago.

His widow, Judy Sweeney, became emotional when she spoke of the artist’s ability to capture her husband’s image so well.

“It’s wonderful to see him honored. It’s been two and a half years, so it’s great to know that people remember and that he’s still able to give something to the organizations that he really loved,” she said.

“He was a man of integrity and a strong work ethic who had a big belief in the community.”

Most of the wireless gear on the market has the capability to encrypt the wireless communication. This means that you will be protected against unwanted attacks on your computer and people will not be able to access your personal information.

Wireless encryption can be confusing, but I would recommend enabling WPA2 AES encryption on your wireless router.

There are other methods of encryption but most are too weak. The few other options are way too intricate for the average home user.

If your wireless router does not have WPA2 AES as an option, I recommend upgrading your router.

Once WPA2 AES is enabled on your device, you must create a password, referred to as a network pass key. When creating a wireless network pass key, I would recommend using words that are not on the dic-

undreds of volunteers spent their Saturday creating a safe place for children to play at the Greater Scranton YMCA on May 14.

The community-built playground project began in March when children were asked to draw pictures of their perfect playground.

Park organizers took those drawings and worked with the Met Life Foundation and Kaboom!, the national non-profit dedicated to building playgrounds around the country, to raise financial support and realize the goal last week.

The new, complete play space is a welcome addition for children ages 5 to 12 who were previously underserved by existing playground equipment.

By CHRISTY LEMIRE AP Movie Critic

t two hours and 16 minutes, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” the fourth film in the ridiculously successful Disney franchise, is the shortest in the series. But it still feels overlong and overstuffed: needlessly convoluted yet phoned-in.

And the fact that this one’s in 3-D — because everything’s in 3-D, silly thing — does nothing to liven up the action. Those three-dimensional digital effects mainly consist of various swords and snakes and such being flung at our faces.

Boo! Did you jump?

That’s not to say this summer behemoth doesn’t have its thrilling moments. Rob Marshall (“Chicago,” “Nine”) takes over for Gore Verbinski, who directed the first three “Pirates” movies, and his knack for choreography comes shining through in individual set pieces. An early chase sequence, in which Johnny Depp as the randy Capt. Jack Sparrow escapes the clutches of the puffy, bloviating King George II (Richard Griffiths), is expertly staged. Jack swings from chandeliers and hangs from ropes, straddles moving carriages and steers a cart full of flaming coal, and we’re right there alongside him every breathless step of the

REVIEW What: “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” Starring: Johnny Depp, Richard Griffiths, Penelope Cruz, Ian McShane, Geoffrey Rush Directed by: Rob Marshall Running time: 136 minutes Rated: PG-13 for intense action/adventure violence, some frightening images, sensuality and innuendo ★ 1/2

Similarly, a nighttime attack by mermaids — beautiful, seductive, deadly mermaids with razor-sharp teeth — provides a jolt. Because what’s hotter than mermaids, except maybe naughty vampire mermaids? And the first time See PIRATES, Page 31

Johnny Depp is back as Captain Jack Sparrow in ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.’

PIRATES Continued from page 30

Penelope Cruz plays Angelica, an old flame of Jack Sparrow who kidnaps him and drags him aboard the ship, Queen Anne’s Revenge.

SPORTS

And so are the English, led by Jack’s deceitful old nemesis Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush).

Did we mention that there are zombie pirates aboard Blackbeard’s ship? The fact that they’re zombies makes no sense at all — I mean, come on, wouldn’t they be trying to eat the brains of the living pirates at every opportunity? — and feels like yet another attempt to inject arbitrary weirdness in the place of genuine inspiration.

Also on board is a hunky man of faith with just the right amount of facial scruff named Philip (Sam Claflin), who falls for one of the mermaids (Astrid Berges-Frisbey), who’s been taken prisoner because her tears are required to activate the Fountain of Youth waters.

(Don’t ask.) Ostensibly, this relationship is intended to replace the young-people-in-love subplot Bloom and Knightley provided, but it’s so full of banal angst, it feels a little too much like something you’d see in the “Twilight” series.

But surely that’s coming in the fifth Pirates movie: sexy werewolves.

ARTS

Jack crosses paths (and swords) with his old flame Angelica, played by a spirited Penelope Cruz, it’s in a lengthy, fluid battle across beams and atop barrels. (Oddly, Cruz and Depp, who co-starred together in 2001’s “Blow,” don’t have a whole lot of chemistry once they have to actually stop and talk to each other.)

It’s everything that happens in between, all the chatter and the exposition, that make the latest “Pirates” such a repetitive bore.

Depp’s performance, which seemed like such a free, goofy, inspired bit of work when the first film came out back in 2003, now feels so dialed-down and obvious, it’s as if he could do it in his sleep. With the (unexplained) absence of Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley this time around, Depp’s Sparrow is now front and center — he’s almost the voice of reason — rather than the bejeweled and eyelinered clown riffing in the corner, commenting in the action.

As for the plot — not that it matters, really — this time the script from Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio centers on a search for the fabled Fountain of Youth.

Jack has no ship anymore, so when Angelica kidnaps him and drags him aboard the Queen Anne’s Revenge, the ship belonging to the fearsome Blackbeard (a constrained Ian McShane), he’s stuck going along for the ride.

Blackbeard seeks the fountain after receiving a prophecy that he’s going to die in two weeks.

But the Spanish are after it, too.

CRANTON – Lackawanna Trail’s Lauren Ellsworth and Riverside’s Vanessa Munley made the most of their last appearances at Memorial Stadium while preparing to do the same in their final trip to the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association Championships at Shippensburg University.

As state medalists in each of the past two seasons, Ellsworth and Munley went into Monday night’s District 2 Class AA Track and Field Championships as two of the featured performers.

They did not disappoint.

Ellsworth established two marks and Munley broke one of her own while turning in the only record-setting efforts in windy and damp conditions.

“I knew it was my last meet here,” said Ellsworth, who set marks in her established spe-

cialty, the 400 meters, and in a new endeavor, the 100-meter dash. “I really wanted those two records.”

Ellsworth won the 100 in 12.22, but said lowering the 400 record Debbie Moran of Meyers set way back in 1985 by just one-hundredth of a second to 57.53 meant more.

“That record has been there a long time,” Ellsworth said. “I hadn’t done a sub-58 yet this season.”

DISTRICT 2 CLASS AAA TRACK AND FIELD CHAMPIONSHIPS

By TOM ROBINSON For Go Lackawanna

Heights won the 3200 in 9:38.91, Pete Calderone of North Pocono won the shot put at 50-2 ½ and Matt DeFaria of Scranton won the javelin with 166-1.

KEEPING SCORE TOM ROBINSON proms and other year-end functions crowd the calendar, which is set from pre-planned state championships and built back from there, forcing the completion of district and league play within certain timeframes to keep the whole system in place.

Eventually, there is no more room to move, which is why high school baseball teams are playing Saturday and Sunday games this weekend and why they may end up going back-toback again before the district tournament is over.

That same pressure put District 2 track and field officials in difficult situations all week.

Weather forecasts predicted rain every day of the week, often with the potential for thunderstorms, making it difficult to find windows to complete a pair of six-hour events.

The Class AAA meet went from Tuesday’s original schedule to a Wednesday start in which the meet was interrupted less than a third of the way to completion.

Confusion followed when district officials sought a way to make the meet as fair as possible for athletes who started in the worst of the weather. The original decision, however, to allow some competitors a chance to re-do their early attempts was contradictory to PIAA and national federation rules and had to be overturned.

The PIAA can not and should not be faulted for following its written rules. The chance at fairness was lost, not in the postsuspension, decision-making process, but in the in-meet decisions to continue pole vaulting in the rain and to try to hurry the shot put in while conditions were deteriorating.

Those in-meet decisions made on the fly were not always the best, but it should be remembered that they were made under the pressure of the losing battle with the weather.

The Class AAA track and field championships were again postponed by rain Thursday and Friday was skipped over for the combination of weather and conflicts with school functions.

The meet finally finished up Saturday, four days after originally scheduled, allowing for a big sigh of relief for all involved.

“I definitely thought the 100 was going to be a lot tougher,” said Dubravcak, a junior who has medaled in both events for three straight years.

Kelsey O’Donnell, Elisia Cadman, Isabelle Clauss and Sarah Gronsky took the 400 in 50.42 seconds.

Abington Heights finished fourth with 60 points, ending its four-year title run.

Dallas took the championship with 101 points. Honesdale had 72 and Western Wayne 62.

Valley View was seventh out of 18 scoring teams with 52 points.

West Scranton was 11th with 28, Scranton Prep was 13th with 25 and North Pocono was 15th with 20.

Abington Heights freshman Erin Jaeger and West Scranton’s Shayna Miller qualified for the state meet with strong efforts while placing third.

Jaeger ran the 1600 in 5:08.95.

Miller ran the 300 hurdles in 44.54 seconds.

Part of what makes sports attractive to so many people is that preparation is often rewarded.

The time put in behind the scenes for conditioning, practicing and analyzing video often pays off in better performances during competition.

No amount of planning, however, could help local athletes, coaches and athletic officials be prepared for what they faced in the past week – and may face in the week ahead.

Collectively they fought what Mother Nature had to offer and, at times, nothing they could do was good enough.

The boys’ volleyball schedules stayed on track because it is the only spring high school sport played in gymnasiums.

Baseball and softball had the end of their regular seasons and thus the process of starting the postseason delayed by multiple postponements. Both sports face the potential of more chaos as they try to get into earlyround district play this week on soaked fields with forecasts for more possible rain. The seeding process for the tournaments was moved back until tonight in the hopes that the last of the postponed regular-season games would be finished.

The Class AAA portion of the district track and field championships was pushed to the limit, finally finishing Saturday, the last day allowed by the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association, after a combination of postponements, interruptions and confusion.

Tennis became an indoor sport, changing venues and schedules, but ultimately finishing with minimal difficulties other than incurring additional costs for the district.

The weather problems are not isolated to the local level. There have already been more Major League Baseball games postponed in 2011 than in the entire 2010 season.

Major League Baseball and its players may hate doubleheaders, but that solution and the many months remaining give the professional level many options for working around the schedule disruptions.

The calendar is less forgiving, however, when high school sports are involved, particularly in the spring. Graduations,

SCRANTON – Brandon Jackson gave Valley View its only gold medal Saturday at the District 2 Class AAA Track and Field Championships.

Jackson got plenty of help from his teammates – and a little assist from Delaware Valley pole vaulter Sean Burns – to lift the Cougars to the team championship by a single point over Tunkhannock.

Memorial Stadium had nearly emptied out when the pole vault competition extended for more than an hour after the final track event with the team title still at stake.

Valley View went into the final event two points behind Tunkhannock, but Tyler Chesko and Garrett Rupe finished third and fourth for the Cougars while Burns won on a tiebreaker over Tunkhannock’s Ryan Karnopp.

The pole vault results gave Valley View an 11-8 edge in points in the event and a111-110 advantage in the final team scoring.

Tunkhannock won five events, including two individual and one relay win by sprinter Gavin Colley, but Valley View used its depthandbalancetocomeouton top.

“We look at track as a team sport, which may be different than how some people view it,” Valley View coach Brian Kearney said. “We get points wherever we can, then add them up at the end.”

It all added up to a one-point victory in Valley View’s move up from Class AA where it also won titles the last two years.

“WecameuptoTriple-Awhere they are so many good programs like Honesdale, Tunkhannock, Dallas and Abington Heights,” Kearney said.

Following up an unbeaten seasonasLackawannaTrackConference Division1and Spagna Lackawanna Conference meet champion, the Cougars knocked off

Tunkhannock and defending champion Honesdale, which was third with 75 points.

North Pocono was sixth out of 18 teams with 46 ½ points. Scranton Prep was 10th with 28 ½, Scranton was 11th with 28, Abington Heights was 12th with 25 and West Scranton was 16th with four.

The meet, which was postponed three times, began Wednesday. Most of the competition was held Saturday in better weather conditions, which helped in producing 15 cases where an athlete advanced to the state meet with a second-place or worse finish by meeting the state qualifying standard.

Jackson won the 300 hurdles and joined Brandon Bednash and Mike Fazio in making it to Shippensburg University for Friday and Saturday’s Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association Championships.

Jackson, who was also fourth in the 110-meter high hurdles, won the 300 hurdles in 40.13 seconds.

A member of Valley View’s state Class AA medal-winning 1600 relay team a year ago, Jackson was undefeated in league competition in both hurdling events this season.

“He has really worked hard at the hurdles,” Kearney said. “He’s a tremendous kid and a great student-athlete.”

Bednash advanced by finishing second in the 800 in 1:56.30 and Fazio was third in the 200 in 22.48.

Jordan Siddons, in the 1600, and Aaron Wilkinson, in the 3200, finished second for the Cougars.

Nyeem Wartman (100), Garrett Rupe (300 hurdles), Zack Korjeski (high jump) and the 1600 relay team joined Chesko in producing third-place finishes.

Jackson was one of four boys’ champions from Lackawanna County.

“That school record is going to be broken next Friday or Saturday,” she said.

Munley also had her eye on the state championships while clearing 11-3 in the pole vault.

That mark beat her old district record of 11-1 ½ set two years ago, but came up short of Munley’s career best.

“I was looking for something more,” Munley said after the win. “It was a little windy and I was working on a bigger pole. If I want to go higher, I’m going to need to use that pole.

“It’s a little heavier and I’m still getting used to it, but I’ve got two more weeks to do that.”

Munley also qualified for the state meet when she finished second in the triple jump with 35-6. She joined Nikolette McCloe of Holy Cross in producing the top all-around girls’ performances of the meet.

Munley picked up 27 points for her team by adding a fourthplace finish in the long jump and a fifth-place in the 100 hurdles.

McCloe won gold medals as an individual and a relay team

member and added a third event for the state meet with a silver medal. After two years of only qualifying its champion, District 2 is back to sending the top two in every event to Shippensburg.

Kira Graziano, Kaitlyn McDonnell and Ashley Hensel followed McCloe for a 400 relay win in 51.72 seconds.

McCloe also won the 200 in 26.05 and finished second to Ellsworth in the 100.

Emily Hughes also won one event and qualified for the state meet in another for Holy Cross, which finished second in the girls’ team standings.

Hughes won the javelin with a throw of 124-8 and finished second in the discus.

Lakeland’s Tori Doyle is headed back to Shippensburg in the two events she has medaled in on the state level.

Doyle finished in a three-way tie for second in the high jump at 4-10 and met the qualifying standard of 15.89 while taking third in the 100 hurdles.

Delaney Reynolds of Mid Valley was also part of the threeway tie for second in the high jump.

BOYS Dunmore’s Jake Padula, in the high jump, and Mid Valley’s Thomas DeBlasio, in the javelin, were the only champions from Lackawanna County.

Lakeland’s Al Tuzze (shot put) and Dunmore’s Austin Burling (1600) and Matt Galli (triple jump) qualified for the state meet by finishing second.

Teddy Evans of Mid Valley finished fourth in the 1600 but advanced by beating the state standard.

Mike Bedell, from Lackawanna League Division 3 champion Elk Lake, and Darrell Crawford from GAR were the individual standouts in the meet.

Bedell won the 800, 1600 and two relay gold medals while Crawford won three individual events as a jumper and hurdler.

Holy Redeemer outscored Elk Lake, 119-94 1/3, for the boys’ title.

Dunmore was the top county team, tying for fourth out of 19 teams with 55 points.

pril Doyle has done it again.

For the second straight year, the Kutztown sophomore captured the shot put title at the PSAC Outdoor Track Championships.

Doyle (Lakeland) won the event with an NCAA provisional distance of 44-7.

“I’ve never known somebody to win back-to-back conference titles in the shot put,” veteran coach Ray Hoffman said.

Doyle also helped the Golden Bears finish third behind Shippensburg and Slippery Rock in the team standings (97.50 points) by finishing fourth in the hammer (157-11) and eighth in the discus (11602).

Sophomore Nicole Smith (Abington Heights) had a solid meet for West Chester. She helped the 4x400 finish fourth (3:52.50) and the 4x100 finish fifth (48:06).

Individually, she finished seventh in the 400 meter dash (59.01).

Millersville junior Mattie Conaboy (Abington Heights) ran a leg on the 4x100 team which finished sixth (48.08).

She also finished 22nd in the 100 meter dash (12.96).

Costello finished eighth in the 1,500 meter run (4:00.08) and 13th in the 800 meter dash (1:54.90).

“Victor is every coach’s dream,” Michelle Burgher said.

“He is one of the most talented athletes I have seen in awhile. With his raw athletic

BILL ARSENAULT ability and his strong work ethic, he will be a force to be reckoned with in years to come.”

Matsko finished ninth in the 400 hurdles (1:04.63) and 10th in the 100 hurdles (15.20), just missing the finals in both.

The 100 time was her personal best while her 400 race was just the fourth in her career at that distance.

“Krista is a joy to work with,” Burgher said. “She is very passionate about the sport and is very dedicated on getting better.”

SCHROTH CHIPS IN Freshman Adam Schroth (Scranton Prep) saw action in nine games in relief for the Catholic University baseball team, which captured the Landmark Conference Tournament and earned its first-ever berth in the NCAA Division III Tournament.

Schroth, a 5-foot-11, 185pound right-hander, was 0-1 with a save. He had a 7.20 earned run average. In 10 innings, he gave up 22 hits and 11 runs, eight earned, while walking five and striking out 10.

“Adam came on strong in the second half of the season and emerged as a trusted reliever who pitched in crucial situations and was instrumental in our league championship,” coach Ross Natoli said.

“He has the character, ability and work ethic to develop into a front-line pitcher for us in the future.”

Catholic took a 22-19 record into the NCAA tourney and beat Scranton twice and Moravian once to win the league title.

Schroth picked up his first save in a 6-5 victory over Scranton and pitched an inning in a non-save situation and gave up four hits and two runs in one inning in an 8-6

triumph over Moravian.

SPOTT WRAPS IT UP Senior Jennifer Spott (Bishop Hannan) saw her season and her career with the Misericordia women’s tennis team come to an end with the recent 5-0 loss to Wilkes in the Freedom Conference championship game.

Spott competed mostly in No. 3 doubles and posted an 8-4 mark this spring and a 10-5 overall mark.

Spott, who teamed with either Cassie Foy or Ellyn Wingert, won four straight doubles matches during the season.

Spott was also 1-4 in limited action at No. 6 singles.

The Cougars finished 11-9 on the season.

SANTOLI WINS THEM ALL The Rosemont softball team suffered through a 4-20 season and freshman Kathleen Santoli (Scranton Prep) had all four victories.

Santoli pitched in 15 games, completing them all, and was 4-11 with an 8.61 earned run average.

She worked 92.0 innings and gave up 153 hits and 153 runs, 135 earned, while walking 51 and striking out 83.

At the plate, Santoli hit .220 (13-for-59) with two doubles, two home runs, six RPI and seven runs scored.

The Ravens finished 4-18 in the Colonial States Athletic Conference.

COLLEGE ROUNDUP

HIGH SCHOOL ROUNDUP

Marywood captures PRESIDENT’S CUPS

GL ONLINE For daily roundups of local college sports, see www.golackawanna.com/sports.

TOP STORY Marywood University had the most successful school year for any athletic department in the Colonial States Athletic Conference.

The Pacers won the CSAC President’s Cups for overall, men’s and women’s performances during the season.

The President’s Cup point system, which is based on championship finish and regular-season play in the conference, scores each sport in a school’s program against the maximum success it could obtain.

Marywood claimed the overall award for the first time, scoring 78.5 of their possible points.

The Pacers won men’s tennis and women’s cross country conference championships while finishing second in the CSAC in women’s lacrosse, men’s lacrosse, men’s cross country and men’s soccer.

Gwynedd-Mercy College was second with 73.6 percent. Baptist Bible College was fifth and Keystone College sixth out of 12 conference schools.

The Marywood women’s programs scored 79.4 percent of their possible points to beat out Gwynedd-Mercy’s 74.7. Baptist Bible was fifth and Keystone ninth.

The Marywood men scored 77.3 percent to edge Cabrini College’s 75.6. Keystone was third among men’s programs while BBC was ninth out of 10.

PLAYOFF ACTION Evan Robaczewski and Tyler Buckley combined on a six-hit shutout May 14 as Lackawanna College defeated Mercer County Community, 3-0, in the National Junior College Athletic Region 19 Division II championship game.

The repeat title put the Falcons in this weekend’s Northeast District championship series with a berth in the national tournament at stake.

Hartwick College scored five of the game’s six second-half goals May 14 to eliminate Marywood in the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) men’s lacrosse semifinals, 8-6, in Springfield, Mass.

SEASON AWARDS University of Scranton second baseman Annie Zeleniak was named firstteam East Region by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA).

Zeleniak, a secondteam selection last season, leads the nation in batting average at .580, is second in on-base percentage (.624), third in RBI per game (1.69) and sixth in slugging percentage (.977).

Taylor McKeown became the first Marywood University women’s lacrosse player to receive All-Region honors when she was a second-team selection on the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Association (IWLCA) Boardwalk Region team.

McKeown, a three-time, first-team CSAC all-star, had 72 goals and 12 assists this season.

Lady Trojans advance to soccer quarterfinal Staff Reports

K

INGSTON – North Pocono opened the District 2 girls’ soccer playoffs Friday by beating a higher-seeded team.

The Lady Trojans’ rew ard is a meeting with the highestseeded team in the quarterfinals.

Jessica Korshnak scored two goals and Meghan Utter made 15 saves as ninth-seeded North Pocono shut out eighth-seeded host Wyoming Valley West, 3-0, in a first-round game.

The playoff win was the first in well over a decade for the North Pocono girls, who play at top-seeded Berwick (12-1-1) in Monday’s 4:30 quarterfinal.

“They’re phenomenal,” North Pocono coach Dave Davis said of Berwick. “They’re a great team. They’re

well-coached. The girls play all year long. That’s a distinct advantage where we are.

“We don’t have any club players on our team, so it makes it very difficult to complete against a team like Berwick.”

North Pocono (8-4-2) had the better record than Wyoming Valley West (3-10-1), but was the lower seed because it competes in Division 3 with some games against teams See ROUNDUP, Page 42

BOYS’ TENNIS ROUNDUP

County teams come up short

C

JASON RIEDMILLER PHOTO / FOR GO LACKAWANNA

Abington’s Jai Redkar, pictured, and Nathan Engh fell in the semifinals to eventual Class AAA doubles champions Steve Brand and Tyler Ryman.

“We started playing team doubles,” Van Nort said.

“My partner Mike really picked me up.

“At 5-1, I thought we were out of it.”

Smertz-Van Nort kept the momentum and won the first set of the final from Brand and Ryman, two of the district’s top five Class AAA singles players.

As last year’s district champions improved their play, they won a close second set and pulled away from a tiring Abington Heights team in the third set.

“Six sets is a lot,” Van Nort said.

“We were getting tired.

“We did our best, but they continued to fire on us.”

Brand and Ryman beat two straight Abington Heights teams for the title.

The four semifinalists were determined with three rounds of play Thursday.

Both Abington Heights teams went 3-0 on the day.

Once in the semifinals, however, Nathan Engh-Jai Redkar lost to Brand-Ryman, 6-3, 6-4.

CLASS AA DOUBLES Cognetti and Walker Temperton received a first-round bye as the top seed then won three straight matches Wednesday, dropping just eight games in six sets.

Parkhurst-Cornell had a tougher time in the quarterfinals and semifinals, but topped CognettiTemperton, 6-2, 7-6 (8-6), for the championship.

The win completed a sweep for Wyoming Seminary, which won the District 2 team championship and got a singles title from George Parkhurst.

CLASS AAA TEAM Abington Heights suffered its

first loss Tuesday in the opening round of the state Class AAA tournament.

Manheim Township eliminated the Comets, 3-2.

Josh Palmer, who will play in the state singles tournament Friday in Hershey, and Redkar won singles points for Abington Heights.

STATE SINGLES Palmer is back for his third shot at the state tournament.

After falling to Jay Jones of Upper St. Clair, 6-2, 6-0, as a freshman, Palmer lost to Adam Salam of Strath Haven, 6-3, 7-5, a year ago.

“Last year, I got injured in the district final,” Palmer said.

“I pulled an abdominal muscle.

I wasn’t able to get the proper lift on my serve.

“This year, I’m going in strong and healthy.”

Simpkins jersey sought for Ring of Honor The Lackawanna College Athletic Department has received a request from the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame to borrow the jersey worn by Janasie Simpkins for display in its Ring of Honor.

The Ring of Honor consists of more than 100 jerseys hanging from the rafters of the Hall’s back rotunda, representing top high school and college players from each season.

Simpkins, who wore number 22, led the nation’s Division II junior college players with 6.25 assists per game and ranked 30th with 17.6 points per game.

Repeat honors Two University of Scranton spring sports athletes repeated as District II all-academic at-large team selections as voted on by the members of the College Sports Information Directors of American (CoSIDA) and sponsored by Capital One. Carl Caceres from the men’s tennis team and Christian Dugan from the men’s lacrosse team earned first- and second-team honors for the second straight year.

Athletes must be at least a sophomore with a grade point average of at least 3.3.

Klingman heading to Scranton Justin Klingman, a threesport standout at Abington Heights, has committed to the University of Scranton, according to basketball coach See BRIEFS, Page 42

SPORTS

CLASS AAA DOUBLES Before dropping the championship match, 5-7, 7-5, 6-1, SmertzVan Nort put together what may have been the most impressive comeback of the district tournament season.

Facing a 5-1 deficit and match point in the third set of their semifinal, Smertz-Van Nort rallied for a 7-6 (7-3), 3-6, 7-6 (7-3) victory over Jersey Shore’s Alex ClementoniNathan Wasson.

“The first and second sets we played really tentative,” Smertz said.

“We were lucky to come out of the first set with a tiebreaker win.”

Smertz-Van Nort came back strong, winning five straight games for a 6-5 lead.

After the Jersey Shore team broke serve to force a tiebreaker, Smertz-Van Nort grabbed the first three points, including two on Van Nort serves.

Van Nort’s third serve of the tiebreaker was returned into the net, ending the match.

MMA coming to Mohegan Mixed Martial Arts competition will move to the Mohegan Sun Arena for the first time July 16.

Martial Arts Super Sport (MASS) has announced its main event between Swoyersville’s Jimy “The Kid” Hettes (11-0) and Ring of Combat featherweight champion Jacob Kirwan (11-2), two of the top 145-pound fighters in the east.

The co-main event will feature Ultimate Fighting Championship veterans Kris “Savage” McCray and Shonie Carter in a welterweight bout.

LARKS SUMMIT – Lackawanna League teams put up competitive battles in the district finals, but ultimately fell short of boys’ tennis doubles championships at Birchwood Racquet Club.

Michael Smertz and Mark Van Nort of Abington Heights extended the District 2-4 Class AAA championship match to three sets before losing to Wyoming Valley West’s Steve Brand and Tyler Ryman Friday.

Scranton Prep’s Will Cognetti-Walker Temperton took the second set to a tiebreaker Thursday but came up short against Harry Parkhurst-Henry Cornell of Wyoming Seminary.

Carl Danzig and baseball coach Mike Bartoletti.

Klingman, a Lackawanna League Division 1 all-star as a senior, averaged 14.3 points per game for the Comets as a season, making 55 3-point shots to help the Comets into the state tournament for the third straight year.

Klingman also was a member of the Abington Heights state baseball championship team in 2009 and started as a middle infielder the past two seasons. He was an all-state selection in soccer.

from Division 4, the lowest in the power-based Wyoming Valley Conference alignment. Wyoming Valley West plays in Division 2 with crossover games against Division 1, including its champion, Berwick.

Korshnak started the scoring when she hooked a shot inside the left post from 21 yards out on the right side12 minutes into the game.

After the teams played in a hard rain – “you couldn’t even see out there,” Korshnak said – they sat through a 36-minute delay because of lightning.

When play resumed, the Lady Trojans added to their lead.

Kaylee Banfield scored late in the first half and Korshnak picked up her second goal, on a Chelsea Kincel assist, early in the second half.
