Be careful of standards you follow Everyone follows a different set of standards. Some are happy to coast through their daily duties with no stress or attention paid to fine details while others strive for perfection in every way. While we often make mistakes no matter what standards we set, it’s rare to see the changes in a former colleague occur firsthand. A friend’s recently published piece makes me question the standards of the publication that employs them. While I will be vague out of respect for them, please try to follow along. A near point-for-point summarization of a Wikipedia page appeared in this person’s article

BEHIND THE BYLINES CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES within the last two or three weeks. It’s certainly not the standard they set for me many years ago. Honesty. Integrity. Attribution. Each was hardly present, including what should have been an honest homage to www.wikepedia.com. If you cite, cite everything you can. Quotes from the interview subject were shadowed by Internet-prepared testimony about what essentially was the origin behind the event being discussed.

Mind you, this was from the same group that printed an entire article about a musician coming to town two weeks after its cancellation was widely known and announced by various newspapers. So why am I crying about poor journalism? Because it hurts all of us. Anyone can search Google or Wikipedia for information on a variety of topics. The world literally fits into the palm of your hand thanks to smartphones and electronic devices that somehow become more powerful as they get smaller. It takes a good, serious journalist to find the story and why it should be important to readers, and it doesn’t matter if those readers hail from Lackawanna County or from halfway across the globe. Good journalists are good

story tellers. It doesn’t matter if they’re talking about a senior graduation project, a baseball game or a city council meeting. They’re fact finders and providers. They find their way through the rigmarole to get to the heart of the matter. Many years ago, a person who gave me a shot and explained the standards by which I was expected to operate showed me that. They reminded me of those standards often. It didn’t matter if it was a poor memory of a quote or the correct spelling of a person’s name. Telling the story as truthfully and accurately as humanly possible was important. I learned the best way to operate in this business from that person. It’s a shame their current place of employment has forced it out of them.

Some businessmen felt contributions were honest CRANTON – A handful of the area businessmen alleged to have made behind-the-scenes deals with either Lackawanna County Commissioner A.J. Munchak or former commissioner Robert Cordaro felt their contributions were honest donations of cash and fundraising support, jurors learned Friday as the first week of the public corruption trial came to a close. But some of those same men either lost or had their work affected by deals that members of the government prosecution contend were illegal.

Lackawanna County Commissioner A.J. Munchak has said very little to the media all week. His attorney, Chris Powell, said Munchak will testify in his own defense.

In an Aug. 5, 2005 letter to the Edensburgbased firm, Finan wrote that the decision to work solely with Highland was a “more monetary and common sense issue” than a reflection on Kimball’s work. The project had come to a standstill, according to Kimball Senior Vice President of Corporate Sales Lawrence Bickford. “Given the direction and course of the project, it was taking up file space,” Kimball said under cross examination from Jerry Johnson, co-counsel for Cordaro. “We were getting no revenue from the project… We See TRIAL, Page 28

Making new Impressions Q

uestion: Can a business that is 104 years old define itself as cool, hip and new? You can be cool and hip at 104, no doubt about it, but “new?” Answer: Goodbye, Wilkes-Barre Publishing Company; hello, Impressions Media. We have a new name, and it’s not just a clever moniker. It breaks the sound barrier, screaming, “We are now. We are the 21st century in the media world!” “The Wilkes-Barre Publishing Company, which owns The Times Leader along with many other publications, digital products and related businesses, will now operate as Impressions Media,” said Richard L. Connor, editor and publisher of The Times Leader and chief executive officer of Impressions Media. “If you have a message to deliver, an audience to reach or a product you need to sell, we are now your one-stop shopping solution. We will meet our custom-

ers’ needs for media in this market.” The Wilkes-Barre Publishing Company’s proud history and long-standing traditions will not be abandoned, Connor emphasized. “We are not truly saying goodbye to the name or its significance in the community,” he said. “Like a favorite piece of clothing, the former name will stay in the house but occupy a different spot in the closet.” Prashant Shitut, president of Impressions Media, said, “It is only appropriate that our multimedia offerings are reflected in our name. As our strong traditional media brands continue to be vibrant, we have now embarked on a series of new digital media offerings that will only enhance the user experience for our audience and offer cost-effective, cutting-edge technology to our advertisers. “Whether it is a new iPad app or mobile technology, we have demonstrated that we are the pioneers in Northeastern Pennsylvania’s multimedia world,” Shitut added.

Digital products and services offered by Impressions Media include: • Online Directory • Search Engine Marketing • Reputation Management • Product/Service Promotion Video • Click to Call Lead Generation • Website Development • Real-Time Website Analytics • Social Media Consulting Mobile Marketing, including: • Branded QR Codes • Interactive Mobile Landing Pages • Apps • SMS Text Message Marketing Statistics show nearly half of small businesses don’t have a website, while more than 60 percent of consumers who access the Internet use it to buy goods or services. The website development service is the best example of opportunity for area businesses. All these solutions from Impressions Media not only offer initial development but ongoing maintenance and hosting

too. Jim Schilling, vice president of marketing and community relations for Wyoming Valley Health Care System, said, “Objectively and sincerely, The Times Leader is a great newspaper. They were among the first to introduce online as a marketing medium and we’ve been on board since the beginning because their implementation was flawless.” Chris Kostelnik, vice president and store manager of Macy’s, Dickson City, had this to say about the company: “They are always staying ahead of the curve, not just on a regional level, but on a national level. They have a fresh approach to their online products. They’ve evolved so much over the past five years. I love that they always have new media channels available for me to reach my customers.” John Mellon, a business/marketing professor at Misericordia University in Dallas Township, applauded the new brand name. By switching the name from a “publishing company” to a “media company,” he said, the company has created “more of a 21st century connotation.” Mellon said that shedding the image — whether accurate or

not — of being just a publishing company will help let businesses and readers know that there’s more to the company than newsprint and ink. And the new name, he added, will go a long way toward “helping to build better relationships with your customers by telling them what you have to offer them beyond a hard-copy newspaper.” The Times Leader has been publishing a daily newspaper since 1907. Through numerous changes and owners, it once again became the Wilkes-Barre Publishing Company in 2006. The company has long been recognized for its award-winning journalism, and more recently for its record-breaking audience growth, ranked ninth in the nation and second in the state by The Audit Bureau of Circulations. Besides publishing newspapers, including The Times Leader, the Weekender, the Sunday Dispatch, Go Lackawanna, The Abington Journal, The Dallas Post and El Mensajero, the company operates numerous media websites and also offers commercial printing and packaging services along with its numerous digital marketing solutions for local businesses.

Duffy offers real-time drug enforcement lesson during program SPORTS

By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES chughes@golackawanna.com

SCRANTON – Members of the Scranton Police Department’s Citizen’s Police Academy got a realtime lesson in drug reinforcement in their third week of classes at police headquarters. To begin the class, Officer Lawrence Spathelf displayed drug paraphernalia seized earlier that evening as he helped to serve a warrant on a man for a lapse in child support payments. The man, according to Chief Dan Duffy, was allegedly crushing and shooting Ritalin using a prescription he had for the psychostimulant drug. But class also ended on a high note as

UP NEXT Students are expected to learn about the detective and juvenile divisions, evidence and the civilian support staff on June 15.

Duffy stumbled upon another drug-related case. In a phone interview Wednesday night, Duffy said he was heading home after a day of executive officer training outside of the city and decided to stop for dinner at Taco Bandido, 211 N. Main Ave., Scranton. He overshot the restaurant, turned right onto Price Street and then right onto North Hyde Park Avenue when he observed a man who appeared to be rolling a blunt on his front porch. Duffy said he circled the block “to verify what I was observing,” according to an e-mailed copy of the affidavit of probably cause. “I proceeded to park out of the view of this male and I walked up on foot where I

could smell the odor of burning marijuana and the lit suspected marijuana cigarette was in his hand,” Duffy wrote. “I identified myself and immediately recognized the male as Phil Caple from prior arrests, and he recognized me stating ‘Duffy, I saw you drive by twice, I thought that was you.’” Duffy seized the suspected blunt, and Caple, 44, allegedly pulled a bag of marijuana from his sock and handed it to the chief. In a search of Caple, Duffy also discovered cigar wraps commonly used in the consumption of marijuana. Just after 7 p.m., he returned to headquarters and tested the suspected marijuana using a test kit in front of the civilian class. “Boy, wouldn’t that be something if it doesn’t turn purple?” he quipped to laughter from the 32 men and women en-

rolled. Duffy, whose off duty arrests have resulted in complaints against the city of Scranton from the police union, said he “couldn’t ignore the obvious” Wednesday night. Capt. Carl Graziano told class members during his presentation that drugs are directly related to “80 percent of crime in the city of Scranton.” “That’s pretty common throughout the nation,” he added. “Drugs are at the root of most crimes.” Charges would be filed by mail, Duffy said, but magisterial court records showed no such summons as of Saturday afternoon. Caple is expected to be charged with possession of a small amount of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to a copy of the affidavit. There’s no word if the chief ever got his take-out order.

Two New Jersey residents charged for June 4 stop in Scranton. By MATT MORGIS Go Lackawanna intern

SCRANTON – When city police stopped a man for allegedly passing a fake prescription at a Walgreens on South Main Avenue, they discovered that two of his fellow passengers were in possession of marijuana and heroin. Aljaquan Mann, 19, and Kyro Inman, 23, both of Newark, N.J., were passengers in a van driven by Tyree Malone that was stopped on Luzerne Street after another passenger, Talmadge Conover, 43, of Tobyhanna, attempted to obtain oxycodone with the false prescription on June 4. Mann and Inman face charges of possession and use of the controlled substances marijuana and heroin, possession of drug paraphernalia and providing false identification to law enforcement officers.

According the affidavit: When police stopped the van for Conover’s illegal prescription, officers smelled a “strong smell of marijuana emitting from inside” the van. Conover consented to a search of the vehicle where they discovered “flavored blunt packages,” two bundles of heroin and a citrusscented cleaning spray, which is “commonly used to mask the small of marijuana.” They also discovered “three clear plastic bags of a green vegetable matter believed to be marijuana” behind the rear passenger seats. Mann first identified himself to officers are John Jay Mann, and Inman, who claimed to be Angel Martinez. They gave officers their proper names when they were taken to headquarters. The arresting officer was Scranton Ptlm. William Turner. Mann and Inman were arraigned June 5 and each held for $20,000 bail. Preliminary hearings are set for June 16.

SCRANTON – City police arrested a Pittston man they allege was smoking crack while driving a vehicle with a child passenger on Monday. Craig Reiss, 39, of Mill Street, was charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and endangering the welfare of children. He was jailed at the Lackawanna County Prison for lack of $5,000 bail. Police allege Reiss was smoking crack with the girl inside a Chevrolet Lumina on Pine Street on June 6. Another passenger in the vehicle, Michelle Ortiz, 35, of Wyoming Avenue, Wyoming, was found to be wanted by the Luzerne County Sheriff’s Department. According to the criminal complaint: Police investigated a report that a man driving a Chevrolet Lumina was smoking crack with a child in the car. Scranton Ptlm. Robert Stelmak stopped the Chevrolet in the 300 block of Wyoming Ave. and noticed Ortiz and a child in the rear seat in a safety seat. Reiss accompanied an officer to the back of the vehicle where he had trouble speaking, the criminal complaint says. Police said in the criminal complaint that Reiss pulled papers from his pockets, including a small bag of a white substance he claimed was crack. A second bag of crack was allegedly found in Reiss’ pants pocket. A records inquiry revealed Ortiz was wanted on charges he violated probation on separate counts of retail theft. Luzerne County court records indicate Ortiz was sentenced in June 2010 to eight days time served in jail for stealing meat and cheese from Redners Market in Edwardsville and clothing, toys and furniture from the Wal Mart Supercenter in Wilkes-Barre Township. An arrest warrant was issued for Ortiz on April 14, court records say. Police said the child was returned to the custody of her mother. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on June 14 in Lackawanna County Central Court.

LACKAWANNA COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

SCRANTON CITY COUNCIL

Agreement raises Council: Hires sank city pools detective union wages By RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com

By RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com

SCRANTON – Lackawanna County Commissioners approved a collective bargaining agreement on Wednesday with the Lackawanna County Detectives Association that will grant union members a three percent wage increase, but the commissioners did not do so eagerly. Effective Jan. 1, 2010 to Dec. 31, 2013, the contract provides retroactive wage increases of three percent “across the board,” with annual lump sum longevity increases beginning in 2011, according to Nancy Pearson, the county’s deputy director of human resources. The starting salary for a detective in 2011 is $39,445, and will increase to $41,848 by 2013, and those with over six years of experience will go from $51,247 in 2011 to $54,368 by 2013. The longevity increases, paid on the anniversary date, are $500 after the competition of seven years, $750 after 10 years, $1,000 after 15 years, $1,250 after 20 years and $1,500 after 25 years, the contract reads. The union must double their current benefit co-payments, however, now paying $50 monthly for all health plans in 2011 and increasing to $70 by 2013, Pearson added. County Chief of Staff Maria Elkins said that there were no negotiations between the union and the county, as the county had requested no wage increase and an increased contribution for medical benefits due to financial shortfalls. It instead went straight to an arbitration panel made up of union and county representatives and a neutral third party, resulting in the new contract, which irked Commissioners Mike Washo and Corey O’Brien. Minority Commissioner A.J. Munchak was absent from the meeting, as he began day three of his federal trial on public corruption charges. Washo explained that while he found the employees “outstanding” and didn’t wish to

“demean” them or their work, he was disappointed that the county’s financial troubles weren’t taken into consideration before raises were given. “At some point in time, public sector jobs need to reflect the realities of the units of government’s ability to pay, and this is an example, in my mind, of a situation wherein it’s going to be very difficult going forward,” Washo said. “When I leave here in January, it’s going to be one of the things that troubles me more than anything else because I’m concerned also about the future of the taxpayer, because I’m one.” O’Brien agreed, saying that we must “live within our means” and stressed “fiscal responsibility” during this “difficult economic period.” “We’re in a difficult position because you want to reward good work and you want to be supportive of employees who do really, really good work in difficult situations…but we also have an overarching responsibility to taxpayers to make sure that we are funding what needs to be funded, and there’s a limit on the funds available to the county and we need to work within those limits,” O’Brien said. “When days are better and times are more promising, then we have better opportunities to help employees do better from an economic standpoint.” Despite their objections, both commissioners voted to accept the contract. Washo said that he feels the same about arbitration “across the board,” not just with the detectives association. “This is totally out of control all over America, and it’s out of control in our own community. We just don’t have the money. That’s all there is to it. People in the private sector aren’t getting raises,” Washo said. “Taxpayers live in fear that they will still have their jobs, and public employees live in anticipation of what the increase is going to be in their benefits.”

SCRANTON – City Council criticized the administration on Tuesday for the closing of two city pools this summer, which they believe was a direct result of the rehiring of four Department of Public Works foremen cut in the 2011 budget. Council Finance Chairman Frank Joyce explained that four salaried employees they cut in their budget were reinstated by Mayor Chris Doherty in January as hourly workers. Originally budgeted to only make $40,000 a year, he said that three of the four workers have actually made around 20 percent more to date this year than they made during the same period in 2010. Joyce believes the employ-

ees were paid out of the city’s “other salaries” account, which typically covers lifeguards for the city’s pools. Estimating $93,600 left for lifeguards and $160,000 for the DPW foremen, he said this about covers the money in this account. He added that he is also looking into the DPW’s overtime spending to see if this money is being “used wisely and not frivolously.” The pools at Nay Aug Park, Connell Park, Weston Field, and Weston Park will open June 18, while the Novembrino pool in West Scranton and the Penn Ridge Swim Complex will be closed for renovations. Novembrino will eventually reopen as a splash park, but Joyce questioned why the pool couldn’t open for the summer

until funding is in place and construction actually begins. “I was most disappointed to learn that the mayor refused to allow the Novembrino pool to remain open during the upcoming swim season. In fact, I had predicted neighborhood pool closings in January and February of 2011,” Council President Janet Evans said. “I am very disappointed, very sorry as council president, that the children of West Scranton will not enjoy free swimming this summer.” She requested that a letter be sent to the Scranton Recreation Authority to ask that one weekend in June, July, and August be designated for a free swim for Pine Brook and West Scranton children, as Nay Aug charges $3 for residents to swim in the park’s pool.

Moran said the dog might be a poodle or bichon frise mix. The SPCA is not saying where the dog was found other than it was next to a road in Luzerne County because the dog may have come from a home far from where it was abandoned. Until she recovers, Moran said the dog will most likely be placed in a special foster home.

SCRANTON – Democrat Kathleen Granahan Kane, who announced her candidacy for Attorney General of Pennsylvania in 2012, held a kickoff party at the Hilton Hotel & Conference Center in Scranton on Thursday, June 9. The 45-year-old Scranton native and current Clarks Summit resident is a career prosecutor who began working in the Lackawanna County District Attorney’s office in 1995. Specializing in cases of child and elder abuse as well as prosecuting sex offenders, Kane touted her many years of experience in the courtroom with cases ranging from insurance fraud to murder trials with the slogan, “A prosecutor, not a politician.” “There’s too much at risk – drugs, gangs, sexual predators in your neighborhoods and on your computers – and there is too much at stake to put the safety of your family and of my family in the hands of anyone whose training begins on inauguration day,” Kane told a crowd of roughly 200 people. Lackawanna County District Attorney Andy Jarbola, who said he has worked with Kane for over 10 years, crossed party lines as a Republican and came out in support of her candidacy, saying that he believes she has the experience needed for the position. “I know her capabilities. I know her work ethic. I know she can do the job,” Jarbola said. Republican Linda L.

SCRANTON – A McKeesport man allegedly stopped an escort from leaving his Scranton hotel room and tried to take his money back after she wouldn’t perform oral sex on him last Sunday. Scranton police charged Dewayne Flemister, 54, of Island Ave., with theft by unlawful taking, false imprisonment, simple assault and harassment after the alleged incident inside the Clarion Hotel at 300 Meadow Ave., Scranton, last weekend. According the avadavat: City police arrived at the hotel just after 11:30 p.m. following a frantic call from the night desk clerk Teresina Gildea. Gildea received a call from room 621 and heard a woman screaming. She went to the sixth floor and heard “a female screaming inside the room that she was with an escort service and that she was being robbed.” Powell, who told police that she worked for the Wilkes-Barre based escort service Private Fantasy, was chasing after Flemister in an attempt to retrieve her stolen purse. Gildea told police she witnessed Flemister kick Powell in an attempt to break free. After police arrived on the

scene, Scranton Ptlm. Christian Gowarty met with Flemister who stated “he had paid for services tonight.” Flemister went on to explain he spent over $400 for “a good time.” Flemister openly told police he received a massage from Powell, but it was cut short after hotel staff knocked on the door to bring requested ice. According to Flemister, Powell got upset “believing that Flemister was attempting to get more women involved in the nights (sic) activities.” Flemister and Powell fought over her purse as he attempted to take his money back. Powell told police that shortly into the massage, Flemister demanded oral sex. When she refused, he threw Powell onto the bed and attempted to get his money back from her purse. When she went into the bathroom to call police, he allegedly forced the door close. Powell complained of bruising and soreness from kicks and punches thrown by Flemister during the episode. She refused medical treatment, but claimed her purse was missing $65 after it was returned. Flemister was June 6 and held for a lack of 10 percent of $5,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is set for June 13.

Riders participate in the Heritage Valley Explorer Tour in 2010. The ride returns on June 18.

By STEPHANIE LONGO For Go Lackawanna

ECKVILLE - It’s not fundraising. It’s “friend-raising”. That’s how the Lackawanna Heritage Valley Authority wants people to think of its second annual Heritage Explorer Bike Tour, which will be held Saturday, June 18 from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. at Peckville’s Mellow Park.

“This is not just a fundraiser, because everything we make off of this goes back into our trails. This is a friend-raising event,” explained event chairperson Gene McDonough. “We want people to come out and make new friends and enjoy our trails.” Already, nearly 250 people have signed up to participate in the tour, which offers four different trails for cyclists. The

“Archbald Limited” tour is a five-mile friendly route while the “Powdermill Express” is an intermediate-level 11-mile ride. For more experienced cyclists, there is the 22-mile “Carbondale Special” and the 44-mile “Union Dale Pusher”. The “Blakely Lockie Tot Tour” is designed for children learning how to ride bicycles or for families with strollers. This tour is one half mile around

Mellow Park and, as McDonough explained, aims to give children an incentive to pick up some summer reading. “We’ve set it up just like we did the 44-mile tour where the children, whether they are on a tricycle or on a bicycle, can go from station to station and get a stamp and participate in the activities,” he said. “They can See BIKE, Page 16

You should purchase UM and UIM in an amount equal to your bodily injury coverage and, if there is more than one car in your household, you should purchase “stacked” coverage for even greater protection. Always discuss each and every coverage option carefully with your agent and ask questions until you fully understand what you’re buying and how those decisions will affect you and your family if you are involved in a car accident. When buying auto insurance, small savings now can result in devastating financial losses later. Remember, your automobile insurance protects you.

you are liable for all co-pays, deductibles and co-insurance. You can also purchase first party wage loss coverage. This is optional and pays you if you are not able to work as the result of injuries suffered in a car crash. These benefits are paid to you regardless of fault. Uninsured (UM) and underinsured (UIM) motorist coverage: UM and UIM coverage is optional in Pennsylvania. Uninsured motorist coverage protects you if you are injured in an accident that is the fault of an uninsured driver, a hit-andrun driver or a phantom vehicle. Underinsured motorist coverage protects you if you are injured in an accident where the at fault driver does not have enough insurance coverage to compensate you for your injuries. This is important since automobile injuries can result in time lost from work, costly medical bills, surgery and painful and often, permanent injuries. You can purchase UM and UIM protection in an amount equal to or less than the

legal rights and you can make a claim or bring an action for any injury you suffer in a crash. Bodily injury: This is mandatory in Pennsylvania. If an accident is your fault and another person is injured, this protects you up to the amount of coverage that you purchased. The minimum required coverage in Pennsylvania is $15,000 per person and $30,000 per incident. Higher limits are available and you should purchase higher limits if you are financially able. This is especially important if you have any assets or property. If you cause an accident where another person in seriously injured and you only have minimum coverage, the injured party can pursue you personally for money in excess of your policy limits. Personal property: Again, this is mandatory and covers you if you cause damage to another person’s property. The minimum coverage required in Pennsylvania is $5,000. Higher limits are available and, when deciding how much coverage to purchase, you should consider the increased cost to repair

and replace late model vehicles. If a judgment is entered against you for damage in excess of your policy limits and you do not pay the judgment within 60 days, the other party or their insurer can request that PennDOT suspend your driver’s license until the judgment is satisfied. First party coverage: Medical coverage is mandatory for all Pennsylvania policies and pays for any medical treatment received by you for injuries you suffer in an accident regardless of who was at fault for the collision. The minimum coverage required is $5,000, but higher limits are available. All medical providers and pharmacies have to accept first party auto insurance and, as long as you have coverage remaining, you will not be responsible for any co-pays or deductibles. If the cost of your treatment exceeds your limits, you will be responsible for all charges out of pocket if you do not have private health insurance. If you have other health insurance,

Q: I’m buying a car but I have to get insurance first. I’ve seen commercials and looked for quotes online, but I just don’t understand what I need. I’m already working two jobs and don’t want to spend a lot of money. What do I need to know? A: Automobile insurance in Pennsylvania can be complicated. Obviously, you are limited by your financial resources, but the minimum coverage required in Pennsylvania provides you, your family and anyone that you injure in an accident very little protection. Ask your agent or insurer if you can control your costs by increasing deductibles rather than sacrificing important protection. Here is a basic understanding of automobile insurance in Pennsylvania: Limited tort vs. full tort: First things first. You have to choose full tort or limited tort. If you select limited tort, you will save a few dollars, but in exchange for minimal savings, you are forfeiting your rights and your family’s rights to make a claim for injuries caused by another driver unless you suffer a “serious impairment of a body function.” The law does not define “serious impairment” but, rest assured, most courts interpret the standard in favor of insurance companies and against the injured person. Often, people with long term, disabling injuries are not permitted to make claims for their pain and suffering because they chose limited tort. If you purchase full tort, you are preserving your family’s full

When and how to use coupons

or many years, my Sunday routine consisted of coffee and clipping coupons for my weekly shopping trip. In my mind, I was saving so much and thought that I was beating the system by saving $2 -$10 a shopping trip. Since learning how to coupon, my routine has changed a lot. There is a strategy to using coupons.

Many people feel that they are getting the best deal on the coupons in the weekly inserts, but sometimes that is not the case. You should avoid clipping coupons until you are ready to use them. Think about how many little pieces of paper get lost and how upset you get when the item is on sale. When you receive your weekly coupons, save the entire coupon insert, place the date at the top and pile them in a safe area away from the kids. Then, take out your grocery and drug store circulars and look for good deals on products that you need or use often. This is how serious couponers build a stock pile. I always look for a deal that consists of “buy a number of products and save so much off instantly.” One example this week deal can be found at ShurSave markets for General Mills cereals. The deal reads “Buy any four General Mills Cereals (8 oz. or larger) with your Gold Card in a single visit this week and get $6 off your shopping order.” There should be a $1 off of two General Mills Cereal in

Combine the coupons with the instant savings, and you can save up to $8 off of cereal. As for drug stores, you want to look for deals that offer money back on your purchase,

like Extra Bucks, Register Rewards, or Up Rewards. This is how couponers get free toothpaste or other free products, and sometimes even make money on the products. For some deals, you don’t even need coupons and can get the products for free. A good example this week is at CVS where Zyrtec 5 ct. is priced at $5. You will get $5 in Extra Care Bucks back, so the product is essentially free when you use that money on your next purchase. You can also use a coupon found in the April 10 Red Plum inserts to actually make $4 just for buying Zyrtec. There are many strategies for saving the most money and getting products cheep or free. Once you stop clipping and start organizing, you will find out how easy it is to save money using coupons and store deals.

Like most people, you probably have friends and family living across the United States and possibly in other countries. Computers have made it easy to keep in touch with relatives and friends via e-mail, blogs, or social networks. The term social network is used to define a social structure made up of individuals and sometimes organizations that share a common interest, such as beliefs, hobbies, or friends. The Internet provides a place where you can update your friends and family about your day, share pictures, ask questions, leave comments and even challenge them to some of your favorite board games. In the past five years, social networks have grown in popularity. Currently one of the most popular is called Facebook. As of January 2011, Facebook had more than 600 million active users. The age of Facebook users varies, ranging from 13 years of age and up. According to the latest demographic studies of Facebook from www.insidefacebook.com, 19 percent of Facebook users are 45 and above, and this percentage continues to gradually increase. With this said, why not show your parents and grandparents how to use Facebook or a simi-

Not only will they feel more important, they offer great advice, having experienced many similar situations, and can share great family recipes. Another advantage of teaching older generations how to use social networking sites is that they can meet new friends their own age that share common interests. Social networks have forums for people who love discussing gardening, political views, religious views, traveling, and shopping.

Glenn Worgan, vice president and principal of the Delaware Valley Development Company and equitable owner of property, said his company is proposing an affordable housing development, not an apartment complex or Section 8 housing, as some have been led to believe. “I had several conversations with members of the Minooka Neighborhood Association…and the single issue that was discussed at length was the income of the residents of the proposed facility. I think that what we’re experiencing here this evening is discrimination,” Worgan said. He pointed out that there is no evidence before council that property values would decline and cited a study that found that singlefamily residences actually have more cars and take more trips than those living in apartments,

That’s not the case…If somebody wants to purchase that property, come in, and develop it for singlefamily homes, wonderful. You won’t see one person here object to that – I guarantee it,” Finnerty told council, adding that citizens have no issues with the planned development of a Penn Security Bank & Trust on Birney Avenue. “It’s just a matter of where you put it.” He presented council with a petition signed by 522 Minooka residents,whichhebelievesrepresents at least 75 percent of the area. The petition lists increased traffic flow, road capacity and deterioration, water runoff, school capacity, greater criminal activity, safety concerns, and decreased property values as the issues they have with the construction of the development. Davis Street, which Finnerty said is already heavily congested with traffic, and the surrounding areas have “been residential forever,” and they should be kept residential forever. He also cited the city’s 1993 comprehensive plan, using excerpts to show how their zoning proposal relates to and supports the goals of the plan. “If this isn’t changed, who knows what’s going to go in there?” Resident Holly McCool also

While the rezoning legislation has yet to be drafted and placed on the agenda, members of council said they have already made up their minds on how they will vote when it is.

The last thing we need in this city is more apartment buildings and more apartments. We need more single-family homes.” Councilman Frank Joyce added that no resident he spoke to was in favor of the development. He believes the developer simply wants to make money. “I was elected by the people of Scranton to represent the people ofScranton,notanout-of-towndeveloper who wishes to go against what the wishes of the people are in that specific neighborhood,” Joyce said. “So when that does come to vote on the agenda, I will be voting in favor of changing the zoning in that neighborhood.”

tion, not performance, was his dream and pursued a music recording technology degree at Luzerne County Community College. Molfetas, a 26-year-old Brooklyn native, was more interested in the New York club scene, listening to house music before he was even legally allowed to enter the clubs. He purchased the building in downtown Scranton in 2005, allowing The Vintage Theater a space to relocate to in 2009. After being laid off from his job at Citigroup in March, he decided to move to the city where he already spent much of his free time and go into business. He found himself at home with the large pool of young, talented business owners already in the area, including19-year-old Vintage owner Conor O’Brien.

“Scranton is no different from any other place. You don’t have to be in New York or L.A. to do amazing things,” Molfetas said. “We’re the new age mom and pop, basically. We are the new age small business…None of us are looking to become millionaires. We’re just looking to make this city better.” “The only way you can make this city better is through that community. Not many people have the power to change a lot within a city on their own. You have to have a collective of people. That’s what we’re trying to create,” Zampano added.

119 Productions, a new full-service media company, was incorporated in May of 2010, but the company kicked into high gear in March after founders and best friends Alex Molfetas and Steve Zampano decided to spend over two months constructing a professional recording studio in the basement of The Vintage Theater. Named after their address, 119 Penn Avenue, the compa-

ny has already recorded music with bands like Down to Six from WilkesBarre and This City In Gold from Binghamton, N.Y. With clients from as far away as Florida, they also offer print and web services and work with businesses like West Scranton-based 25/8 Productions, to offer customers video and advertising services. Their biggest passion, however, is music, and they bring a unique enthusiasm to their craft. Zampano, 21, known locally for performances with Awkward Silence, listened to classical music since age 6 and took music lessons from age 8 to 18, playing at least six different instruments by the time he was ready for college.

What we want to do here is bring the artist in and develop them, so when they come out of here, they’re better musicians for it,” Zampano said. The men behind 119 Productions not only pride themselves on breaking the mold of the conventional business transaction, but they also throw out the blueprints for the traditional business model as they continue to pave the way for a new generation of entrepreneurship. “The Vintage Theater, for ex-

ample, continues to be not just a theater or a café or an art gallery or music venue – it’s now a social anchor,” Molfetas said. “Six months ago, I wouldn’t have done half the things I’ve done this year. It’s out of a necessity to progress. There’s no plan. There’s no design. That’s the fun part.” While this may result in long hours and restless cell phones, both say they love being their own bosses and have never been happier. “It was weird at first, but I’m home,” Molfetas said of his transition from Brooklyn to Scranton. “I’m proud to be in this city.

Like many comic book geeks in Pennsylvania, I’ll be heading down to the Wizard World Philadelphia Comic Con next weekend, June 17-19, at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. But unlike many of those fans, I had the pleasure last week of interviewing the one and only “Incredible Hulk,” Lou Ferrigno, who will be one of many amazing guests attending the annual event. Whether you own every episode of the 1977 CBS television series or you just know him as the bodybuilding neighbor from “King of Queens” or as a deputy sheriff with the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, he’s a fascinating and well-rounded actor. Just don’t make him angry. GO LACKAWANNA: What have you been working on lately?. LOU FERRIGNO: Well, besides having a personal training business, I just got back from Singapore and Malaysia. I do a lot of speaking now like Tony Robbins where I motivate thousands of people, having to do with maximizing your personal power, overcoming fear, and being fit, being in the best shape. And then I’m working on another movie in two weeks called “The Liberator.” I’m going to be shooting that movie. It’s an action film, so I’ve been very busy. GL: Usually comic book and the body building/fitness cultures are two separate things, but your life has com-

INFINITE IMPROBABILITY RICH HOWELLS bined them in a unique way. What’s it been like to be part of both worlds? LF: It’s great because of the fact that being famous from the Hulk and doing a lot of movies, people know me as an actor, and then with the other world of fitness, a lot of people neglect their bodies. I’m teaching them when they see me to combine the mind and the body as a team. GL: You’ve been known in recent years for appearances on “King of Queens” and in “I Love You, Man.” What is it you enjoy about doing comedy? LF: Instant gratification. I always enjoyed making people laugh, so doing comedy wasn’t a stretch for me. I could show people that I can act not just drama-wise, but comedywise. GL: You grew up with characters like Spider-Man, the Hulk, and Hercules. Did you relate to those characters at a young age, or did something else draw you to them? LF: I loved Superman, Spider-Man, and the Hulk because of the fact that it’s all about power. I always fantasized about being these characters because I was in so

much pain my whole life, dealing with the pain of rejection. The power of the comics and the fantasy was therapeutic for me. GL: So when you first took on the role of the Hulk, did you realize then that it would be a life-changing role for you? LF: When I did the pilot, I didn’t expect it to be a huge hit. I was hoping that it would just do well in the ratings. But I knew when I got the part, I See HULK, Page 19

Heritage Camp set for July A camp for boys and girls, ages 7-12, is planned at the Anthracite Heritage Museum for Tuesday, July 12 to Friday, July 15, from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., daily. The camp’s theme, “Pieces of the Past: Our Heritage Valley,” will promote an understanding and pride in the culture and history of the anthracite region of northeastern Pennsylvania. Campers will experience storytelling, crafts, food, music and daily life activities celebrating the history and diverse culture of the hard coal region. They’ll also have an opportunity to establish friendships among children from various backgrounds and learn how youths and their families lived in different time periods. The Board of Directors of the Anthracite Heritage Museum and Iron Furnaces Associates first thought of a multiday camp for children in 2004. This first camp was a threeday camp. In time, the camp grew to be a four-day program in order to provide enough time to cover the many activities created for the campers to

Being a different character, I got to do the things I never did in real life, like being primitive, acting like the Hulk. I got to be a celebrity on the set. People get excited with the character. Most of all, the fame – the instant fame. The children love the Hulk. It was a worldwide famous hero, so wherever I went, I got so much attention. I just loved every minute of it. GL: You got to know Bill Bixby quite well. What were some of your favorite memories of him? LF: He was like my mentor. I learned a lot from him about acting. He was very professional. I learned to be on time on the set, respect myself and respect the crew, and know the lines. Most of all was the fact that I worshipped him as an actor growing up from “The Courtship of Eddie’s Father” and “The Magician.” It was just like getting a charge every day when I was on the set because he motivated me.

When I did the voice work for the last Hulk movie, it was a challenge because I had to be believable as the Hulk doing the voice, not just yelling and screaming because I had to make an emotional connection…When I did the animated cartoon, I auditioned for it and I made them realize that no one could else portray the voice because I know how the Hulk feels and how he thinks and how he relates to people.

CRANTON – Customers will find a unique creation with each piece of chocolate they sample inside one of Scranton’s newest cocoa-centric stores. Handmade pieces of Swiss chocolate dominate the menu at Chocolate Creations, and goodies can be bought already packaged or tailor made to fit a customer’s needs.

Owner Frank Mazzarella and wife, Debbie, of Olyphant, have run Chocolate Creations from their 1520 Pennsylvania Ave., Peckville, store since 2006. Mr. Mazzarella has been making chocolate for four years, and the chocolatier said he particularly enjoys creating airbrushed truffles. “I like to experiment with the different designs - colors and designs,” he said. The chocolate is made daily in small batches. “Nothing really sits around. We’re always making it,” Mr. Mazzarella said. The chocolate is made from a Swiss recipe, making the chocolates milkier and creamier than a Belgium chocolate. Chocolate Creations offers cases of assorted chocolates, chocolate covered fruit, chocolates shaped from molds and more. They also specialize in printing on chocolate and take orders for favors for any occasion including, but not limited to, baby showers,

confirmations and weddings. The pricing for the printing on chocolate ranges from $2.50 to $19.50, and there is no minimum order required. The store expanded to its second location at 400 Spruce St., Scranton, in February. With such a unique chocolate shop just feet away from our Wyoming Avenue office, I often stop in to purchase a piece of their chocolate to eat on my way home from a hard day’s work. Ann Marie McHugh has been an employee at the Scranton location since its opening. Customers who are new to Chocolate Creations are “in for a surprise.” McHugh often asks new customers if they prefer milk or dark chocolate. If a customer likes caramel, she commonly recommends they sample a sea salt caramel. Mr. Mazzarella recommends that first time customers try a piece of solid chocolate first. To try one of Chocolate Creations’ products, visit their Peckville or Scranton locations. For more information, call (570) 383-9931 or (570) 207-4044.

For this show, crews will build the stage themselves. “They’re only going to be

This isn’t the first time that Tim Hutchins directed “Our Town.” Six years ago, he directed performances at Blue Ridge High School where he worked at the time. It’s also where, he said, he “fell in love” with it. The classic play by Thornton Wilder has been loved for

years, winning awards since its debut in 1938. “Personally, I think it’s so well loved because everybody can relate to it. It’s everybody’s town, it’s everybody’s family, and at some point during this play, everybody knows one of these characters as being a part of their own family whether it’s a distant relative or them themselves,” Hutchins said. One vital role for this play is that of the narrator, which will be played by Bill Amos. “Our Town” is a unique play because in it the narrator, along with keeping the plot moving through is story telling abilities, must speak with the audience directly. This is a technique that is both different and successful. “I’m very confident in my cast, a group of adults and children, that really want to be there and do well for the community and for Diva Theater,” Hutchins said. “It is definitely a production we will be able to look back upon with great pride.”

Everhart celebration continues Civil War revival

From left, Jo Ann Bagdanovicz, Laura Becker, and Jordyn Williams were among the many participants in Community Day.

“It was used for dancing and for people entertaining themselves in the days before there was radio and recordings,” Betty Druckenmiller said. “It’s a community music, a social music.” Along with music, a wide variety of Civil War memorabilia including children’s toys and clothes were on display. Numerous authors who wrote books related to the Civil War were in attendance, sharing tables near artifacts now archaic by modern standards. Social activities such as Victorian

era dancing and crafting exhibits also drew crowds of interested admirers. “We really have a lot going on that pertains to things of that time period,” Yarrow said. “We really kept it more civilian because we wanted to make it more of a family day.” The Everhart’s exhibit, “With Bullets Singing All Around Me,” is on display through July 17. The museum is open from noon to 4 p.m. on Monday, Thursday and Friday; from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday; and from noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

The goal, according to organizers of the Everhart’s Community Day, held Sunday, June 5, was to give localsapieceofhistoryandwitnessthe battle in a way they never had before. “It’s something that the community can really participate in, to make ourspecialeventreallymoreaccessible for the community,” Yarrow said. Families have swarmed in as the doors to the event opened at 1 p.m. As artists began performing, many stopped to allow themselves to be taken back to an earlier time through music. One group, The Druckenmiller Band, consisted of the family trio Betty, Tom and Nate. The band traveled from Allentown to be a part of the event and play the type of music that was played during the Civil War era.

smart thing to do. GL: How do you feel about the casting change, with Mark Ruffalo taking the place of Ed Norton? LF: Mark Ruffalo is a good actor. I’m getting tired of seeing a new David Banner every movie. I know Edward Norton was having problems, but hopefully they can just stay with Mark Ruffalo because I know he’ll do a great job. The biggest problem I have is that the Hulk is CGI. It can’t compare to the original because it’s still CGI. That’s a tough one… You can’t relate to the Hulk because he’s running all around. I thought even “King Kong” was better than the CGI because King Kong had feelings, but CGI does not have feelings. That’s why I do the voice. We can meet halfway because with hearing my voice, the sensitivity can come through the CGI. GL: Have you done any work on “The Avengers” yet? LF: Not yet. I haven’t got the script yet. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I know I’m doing the voice, but right now they’re hoping to find room. It’s a big budget and you’ve got these different characters. They just started the film three weeks ago, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I’ll hopefully have some scenes in the movie. GL: What are your plans for Wizard World Philadelphia Comic Con ? LF: I’ll be interacting with the fans. I’ll have my pictures, my book “My Incredible Life As the Hulk,” posters, my Polaroid camera so they can take pictures with me, and also the Q&A so they can get a chance to make a personal contact. They can take pictures of me because I’m the only superhero alive today that’s got a physique. Everybody just wears a cape. There’s no other superhero except for Hugh Jackman that looks great in person and able to flex. GL: Is there anything else you’d like to add that we haven’t talked about? LF: I’m just looking forward to coming to Philly again because it’s been a while. It makes me feel good because I meet my fans. They’re the ones who make or break you. I have such a huge following because of my legacy. That basically motivates me more than anything because people don’t forget. The legacy of the Hulk is continuing generation after generation. Now I see grandparents coming, educating the young audiences about the Hulk. The great thing about the Hulk is it didn’t have any sex, rape, murder, or violence. It was always clean-cut, and that’s something that will go on forever like “Star Trek.” That’s what we need today, more of those clean shows. That’s why people identify with the original series.

Utters still swingin’

By RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com

It may have been a few years since fans have heard from the Swingin’ Utters, but the quintet is back with a new album that harkens back to the days of classic punk rock and a tour that’s sure to match their ardent determination. The band will stop at Eleanor Rigby’s, 603 Scranton/Carbondale Highway in Jermyn, on Thursday, June 16, and are slated to play with The Have Nots, Continental, and All Male Revue. Growing up in “a bubble” in Santa Cruz, Calif., lead singer Johnny “Peebucks” Bonnel said his band wasn’t really aware of the punk scene until they traveled to San Francisco in early1990s, steadily gaining a following as punk became more popular. “As soon as we moved up to San Francisco in the early ‘90s, we saw that Rancid was just coming out and

Green Day was starting to get big. It was kind of exciting at the time because punk was getting bigger and bigger,andweweresortoftheunderground of that,” Bonnel said. The “highest point” of his career, he felt, was opening up for Celtic punk act The Pogues for two shows, a band that he cites as one of his main influences. “I’ve been a huge fan of theirs from the beginning, and I’ve become friends with Spider (Stacy). (My other band) Filthy Thievin’ Bastards have played some shows with him, and he’s cool guy, down to Earth. You always want to see that when you meet your idols,” he said. Mainstream success always seemed to allude the Swingin’ Utters, which Bonnel feels wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. “It sort of kept us from big egos going and cocky attitudes and all that stuff.”

As a father of two with a day job of printing pictures and T-shirts from his home business, he said he is still able to express his artistic side during the band’s downtime. “Your rewards are pretty immediate. You print shirts left and right, but a lot of it are my designs and my artwork, so it’s gratifying just to be printed on a shirt and have someone wear that design,” he explained. “If you’re a hard worker in life, you’re going to be a hard worker as a musician, as an artist, as a father. It’s going to eventually show in your per-

sonality.” That determination has prevented the Utters from hanging it up at a certain age, which is why the now 43year-old got together with his fellow bandmates, despite not living as close to each other as they used to, and recorded their first full-length record in eight years. While Bonnel split songwriting duties on the “stripped down, raw” album, the tracks he wrote on “Here, Under Protest” were inspired by what he perceives as an increasingly violent world, writing songs like “Bent Collector of 1,000 Limbs,” which he said even creeped out fellow singer and guitarist Darius Koski. “I usually look at the dark side of things and try to put myself in that place, and show a little hope in it as well,” Bonnel said.

for all, much like the Swingin’ Utters have done for years. “I’d like to tour with some bigger acts and some different acts, but I just don’t see it happening. I’d love to open up for The Pixies or The Breeders or Wilco or the Old 97’s or something weird like that – something a little bit different to take us out of the punk pigeonhole. That would probably be the only thing I would like to do before it’s all said and done.”

“We’re happy with the end product and relieved because it took so long. It sort of tested our patience. We just want keep learning from our recording experiences and maybe make it quicker next time.”

Koski and guitarist Jack Dalrymple also sing on tracks throughout the album, which Bonnel believes “makes the album more interesting.” Each member of the band has their own side projects as well, with Bonnel also behind Filthy Thievin’ Bastards and Druglords of the Avenue.

Accomplish a goal, earn “thrill points.” But before Judy can put her thrill-points contest into motion, best pal Rocky (Garrett Ryan) is off to circus camp. That’s a thrill-point victory all by itself. Amy (Taylar Hender) traipses off to Borneo. And Judy’s own parents flee to California, leaving her free-spirit Aunt Opal in charge. What can one do with “Aunt Aw-

ful” around? Heather Graham is that unknown aunt, a wandering artist with no driving or housekeeping skills. Opal gets Judy and her younger brother Stink (Parris Mosteller) into the arts. But she’s not much help at adding to Judy’s thrill-points collection. Stink and his ongoing Big Foot obsession are the movie’s comic highlights. Director John Schultz can’t make many of the gags deliver big laughs. But Beatty has a winning way with various Judyisms — No, Stink, she doesn’t want your “ABC Peas, already been chewed.” “Not Bummer Summer” doesn’t add up to a bummer itself.

oody Allen has found the right time and the right place with “Midnight in Paris,” his lightest, funniest and most-satisfying movie in a long time. Shooting a full film in France for the first time, writer-director Allen has crafted a pastry-light romantic fantasy with virtually no dramatic pretensions. He presents a wide-eyed-with-wonder view of the City of Light that nicely complements his story of an American writer (Owen Wilson) who pines for the 1920s Paris of Hemingway, Fitzgerald and Gertrude Stein. All things seem possible here, so when the impossible starts to happen, it’s easy to slip into the clever conceit Allen uses to test his protagonist’s devotion to a nostalgic dream of days past.

Wilson’s Gil is a successful Hollywood screenwriter who yearns to give up the schlock he writes for the screen and focus on his novel instead. Visiting Paris with his fiancée, Inez (Rachel McAdams), and her disapproving parents (Kurt Fuller and Mimi Kennedy), Gil whines in the standard fashion of Allen and his various stand-ins since the filmmaker began easing himself off-camera. Life today is too fast, too hollow, too homogenized, Gil thinks. Wouldn’t it be great if things were rich and vibrant like Paris of the 1920s, he wonders? As midnight chimes on Gil’s drunken stroll through the city one night, a vintage car full of revelers

stops to pick up Gil, who is transported back to that golden era, where he encounters Stein (Kathy Bates), Salvador Dali (Adrien Brody), Hemingway (Corey Stoll), Fitzgerald (Tom Hiddleston) and wife Zelda (scene-stealer Alison Pill). Most important, Gil meets Adriana (Marion Cotillard), the bewitching lover of Pablo Picasso. Over Gil’s ensuing trips back to the 1920s, he and Adriana find themselves kindred spirits from really different time zones. Guiltily, Gil tries to conceal his time-traveling dalliance from Inez, who has her own suspicious relations with old friend Paul (Michael

Sheen), a pedantic windbag on holiday with his wife. French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy pops up in a small role as a Rodin museum guide. The performances are mostly assured all around, with Bates commanding in her brief moments as Stein, Stoll drolly funny launching into manly Hemingway-speak, Hiddleston utterly charming as Fitzgerald and Brody hilarious in his Dali gag bit. Allen’s shots of Paris cover the predictable sights — the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Tuilleries — and they’re so radiant they might make you want to book a flight as soon as you leave the theater. This is Allen’s love song to Paris, the place he says he probably would live if he weren’t born a New Yorker, and it’s as pretty a picture as any he’s ever painted for Manhattan. With a thin, easily digestible moral lesson against romanticizing the past, “Midnight in Paris” serves up just enough substance to avoid turning trivial.

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK SCRANTON – Several odd and sometimes humorous moments occurred during court proceedings this week, despite the serious nature of the public corruption charges against A.J. Munchak and Bob Cordaro. • Under questioning from Cordaro’s co-counsel, Jerry Johnson, West Scranton funeral director Al Hughes was asked about how he came to obtain immunity. “Who’s your attorney?” Johnson asked. “Sal Cognetti,” Hughes replied. “Well, he’s one of the best attorneys in this area, isn’t he?” Johnson said. “I hope so,” Hughes quipped, to laughter from those in the courtroom. In another instance where Johnson asked about Hughes’ preparation for the trial with government prosecutors, Hughes told Johnson that “they wanted me to be comfortable where I’d be sitting.” “Are you comfortable?” Johnson asked the witness. “No,” he replied, blankly. • In an attempt to illustrate how cash was allegedly passed from Highland Associates executive Don Kalina to Munchak, the commissioner’s attorney, Chris Powell, handed Kalina a stack of 300 $1 bills stuffed into an envelope. After a brief recess, prosecutors returned to the court with 300 $100 bills on loan from Penn Security Bank and Trust. It’s alleged that Kalina gave Munchak two cash payments of $30,000 each and a third payment of $30,000 cash to Cordaro. Because the money had to be return-

ed, Assistant U.S. Attorney Lorna N. Graham asked Senior U.S. District Court Judge A. Richard Caputo if members of the jury could examine the cash. “I was going to suggest that you give it to the jury,” Caputo said, gaining some laughs. • The attire of William Costopoulos, the lead defense attorney for Cordaro, became a focal point. The high profile Harrisburg attorney has a penchant for cowboy boots and well-tailored suits. “He’s not wearing his vest today,” one man commented outside of the courtroom on Friday. • Area attorneys seen at trial proceedings included David Fallk, Harry McGrath and Jason Shrive. • On Friday, a delegation of African leaders entered courtroom one at the William J. Nealon Federal Building and United State Courthouse. The group spent the morning in New York and stopped in Scranton before traveling to Philadelphia on Friday afternoon. • A government exhibit list dated June 6 spells out hundreds of pieces of data including two listed as “Playboy picture,” a handful of Munchak’s records from Harrah’s casino, recorded phone conversations, and a number of letters promising conditional immunity for truthful testimony. Those testifying under immunity from prosecution includes Acker Associates and partner P.J. McLaine; Highland Associates and principals Dominick Provino, Kevin Smith and Don Kalina; Hughes; and Joseph Ferrario of Hennigan-Ferrario. - CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES

were ready to move on.” The prosecution, however, alleges that executives from Highland gave cash – two payments to Munchak of $30,000 each and a third to Cordaro of $30,000 - out of fear they would lose existing and future county contracts. Michael Pasonick, the Luzerne County engineer who pleaded guilty in an unrelated federal bribery case in April, said he made payments to a number of people in political office, including Cordaro. Pasonick alleged that during a December 2003 fundraiser at Glenmaura National Golf Club, Cordaro told him, “You weren’t supportive of me financially, but we can change that.” The 69-year-old testified that he gave more than $9,000 in campaign contributions along with two cash payments of $1,000 each to Cordaro inside his sixth floor county offices, but when he didn’t maintain existing work on a county

CRANTON – The witness list in the trail of former Lackawanna County majority Commissioners Robert Cordaro and A.J. Munchak has focused predominantly on the companies known as #1 to #3 in the federal indictment, co-workers, and those whose work was affected by the alleged deals made with the two men.

COMMISSIONER MIKE WASHO Washo, who took the stand on the second day of the trial, described his tenure with Cordaro and Munchak as “the most confrontational work environment of my life.” The Democrat said he repeatedly tried to rein in the Republican majority commissioners as they went on a spending

spree that more than doubled the county’s debt from roughly $88 million in 2003 to $200 million in 2005. “I knew commissioners had a lot of power, but I had no idea until I took the seat of the enormity of that power – power that is not matched by accountability,” Washo said under questioning by Assistant U.S. Attorney Lorna Graham. That was particularly so under the Cordaro and Munchak regime, he said. The men essentially cut him out of all decisions, particularly the awarding of contracts, he said.

from 2003 to 2007 spent more than four hours on the stand Tuesday detailing the process utilized to report donations and expenditures – a process he and Lackawanna County Director of Elections Marion Medalis acknowledged had no independent oversight. Durkin said he was never asked by the men to do anything improper. But he did have concerns regarding $25,150 in undocumented contributions the campaign took in 2004. When he discussed the matter with Munchak, Munchak suggested Durkin report the money as contributions from donors of $50 or less, which under election law would not require Durkin to identify the donors.

“I said I wasn’t comfortable with that,” he said. Durkin worked out a compromise with Munchak to report the money as an “in-kind” contribution, listing it as “unidentified contributions -deposit detail lost.” PATRICK JOSEPH McLAINE A former partner with the now dissolved Acker Assocites, McLaine said he requested help from a mutual friend to see if Acker could maintain their existing work with Lackawanna County, including a deal worth $7 million on the county watershed program funded by a $30 million federal grant. “If you would give me $10,000 a month for Bob (Cordaro), I’d make

Kevin Smith and Dominic Provino testified Thursday they were extorted into paying $90,000 to Cordaro and Munchak out of fear their firm would lose millions of dollars in contracts with Lackawanna County. Kalina said he received a phone call from Munchak in around April 2005, asking him to meet for lunch. When he asked Munchak what he wanted to talk about, his message was short and simple: “We need some cash,” Kalina said. The bottom line, they said, is they feared Cordaro and Munchak would terminate nearly $4.4 million in contracts they had just secured with the county. Their firm had already expended $1.3 million in upfront costs on the projects, and losing them would devastate the company. “Did you discuss contacting authorities?” Graham asked Smith, who was first to take the stand. “We felt it would be a situation of our word against their word,” Smith said. “The path of least resistance was to make the payments.” Under cross examination by de-

fense attorneys, Smith and Provino acknowledged they never spoke directly to Cordaro or Munchak or saw Kalina deliver the money to them. “The only thing you know is you gave Don Kalina $10,000 on three occasions,” Chris Powell, the attorney representing Munchak, said to Smith. “If Don Kalina said he gave money to the commissioners, he gave it to the commissioners,” Smith said.

MICHAEL PASONICK The Luzerne County engineer who pleaded guilty to an unrelated federal bribery charge in April said he gave Cordaro two cash payments of $1,000 each with hopes that he could maintain contracts on a county watershed project and work at the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport in Avoca. When the work didn’t materialize, Pasonick said he stopped giving.

SCRANTON – Things moved swiftly in the public corruption trial of Lackawanna County Commissioner A.J. Munchak and former commissioner Robert Cordaro.

DAY 1: JUNE 6

Jury selection begins at 10:15 a.m. and concludes by 12:25 p.m. A jury of nine men and seven women, including four alternates is chosen. Defense attorney Chris Powell, representing Munchak, publicly reveals many of the companies and individuals – identified as #1-#8 in the federal indictment - accused of bribing the once majority commissioners. Assistant U.S. Attorney Lorna N. Graham, quickly painted the case as a “money grab from various businesses” in which the once majority commissioners “shook down” some and accepted bribes from others while using campaign contributions “as a personal piggybank.” Defense attorneys allege the two men spent beyond the county’s means to repair a courthouse with rafters full of pigeon droppings, sold a ski resort bleeding $1.5 million annually and found county offices that hadn’t been audited in three years. “You’re going to hear evidence of massive spending, and that’s why,” Powell said in opening statements. “They had to spend to get us back to even.”

DAY 2: JUNE 7

Testimony begins with comments from Lackawanna County Director of Elections Marion Medalis and ends with comments from Commissioner Michael Washo. About four hours of testimony came from county Chief Financial Officer Tom Durkin who served as Munchak and Cordaro’s campaign treasurer from 2003 to 2007.

DAY 3: JUNE 8

Jurors hear from Acker Associates partner P.J. McLaine and West Scranton funeral home director Al Hughes on the alleged scheme where Acker paid Hughes as a “marketing consultant.” He then delivered the money – cash in lettersized envelopes – to Cordaro before or after lunch meetings and in the parking lot of Lackawanna County Stadium. Acker Associates was known as Company #2 in the indictment.

DAY 4: JUNE 9

Businessman Tom Cummings, part of a five-way split of profits in the sale of a cell phone tower at the Lackawanna County 911 Center, said he was told by McLaine to deal with Hughes to “facilitate” approval of the project. Tom Dubas, director of Lackawanna County’s emergency services department, said he wasn’t “going to take the fall for anyone” regarding the selection of the company that paid two shares to Hughes in the sale of the tower – one for himself and one for Cordaro. Three partners of a Clarks Summit architectural firm - Dominic Provino, Kevin Smith and Don Kalina - testified Thursday they were extorted into paying $90,000 to Robert Cordaro and A.J. Munchak out of fear their firm would lose millions of dollars in contracts with Lackawanna County.

DAY 5: JUNE 10

Business owners testify their campaign contributions were in good faith. Louis Costanzo of L.R. Costanzo said he was unaware of campaign finance laws that restricted cash donations of more than $100. Joseph Ferrarrio said he gave a combined $4,000 in cash to Cordaro’s brother, Ron, but was unaware if the funds ever reached the commissioner. Ferrario was part of Hennigan-Ferrario, the firm that previously administered the county’s workers’ compensation fund. - CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES and TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER

envelopes and that they were always handed over in secret. Hughes said Cordaro initially suggested Acker Associates pay Washo $15,000 each month. He said he was embarrassed to ask McLaine for that much money and instead asked for $10,000. Twice in 2005 and once in 2007, Hughes gave Cordaro a check because, when the commissioner came calling, “it was the evening and the bank had already closed.” Hughes said he considered the payments as a way he was “helping two friends” and outright denied and allegation from Cordaro’s cocounsel Jerry Johnson that phone calls he made to McLaine to arrange Cordaro’s payments “became a solution to all of your debts.”

cross examination that he didn’t know if his donations ever reached the former commissioner’s hands. In January 2004, Ferrario said, he was called to Robert Cordaro’s office regarding Hennigan-Ferrario’s administration of the county’s workers’

compensation fund. “We had a discussion about my partnering with Charles Costanzo in order to keep the business,” he said. The deal was either to partner with Bob Cordaro’s friend who was convicted in 2009 of stealing more than $600,000 from that same fund or “give up the business.” Months later, Ferrario said, Costanzo formed a new group to oversee the fund. Louis Costanzo, president of L.R. Costanzo, said he financially supported the campaign group, Friends of Munchak and Cordaro, because of a personal relationship with Munchak. “We felt it was time for a change in the county,” he added of the fellow Republicans.

grounds. The testimony was just a sampling of that heard this week that outlined secret payments made to the men on behalf of Acker Associates and Highland Associates, campaign donations from men like Louis Constanzo and Ferrario, and more. Some of the men who claim they were extorted by either Munchak or Robert Cordaro – like P.J. McLaine of Acker – used middle men like West Scranton funeral home director Al Hughes to deliver the funds. McLaine testified that he never saw the money reach Bob Cordaro, while Hughes testified payments were made in secret following lunch meetings with the Dunmore native. Robert Cordaro said he was left bothered by comments made during the first week of the trial. “It’s disappointing to see people that you knew in one way or another and after they enter into an agreement with the government, they come up with a story,” Cordaro said while leaving court on Friday. “We certainly hope that the jury is watching closely.”

Louis Costanzo said Friday that he gave $2,500 in cash to Munchak at the firm’s Main Avenue offices in Scranton and later held a fundraiser at his son’s Clarks Summit home in their support. Another $2,500 cash donation was given on top of $7,500 raised through the event. Louis Costanzo said he was unaware and was not informed by Munchak of campaign finance laws that restrict cash donations of more than $100. “It wasn’t an act of extortion?” Robert Cordaro’s attorney, William Costopoulos asked. “No,” Louis Costanzo replied. “It wasn’t an act of bribery on your part?” “No,” he said again. Campaign contributions from Louis Costanzo and his partners totaled $23,250 from 2006 to 2007, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney William Houser.

ory Spangenberg was doing just fine at Virginia Military Institute, but he made a move after one year anyway. Spangenberg’s decision to transfer to a junior college in Florida made him eligible for this year’s Major League Baseball Draft and gave the Abington Heights graduate time to improve his game and his status as one of the nation’s top prospects.

KEEPING SCORE TOM ROBINSON The gamble paid off Monday when the San Diego Padres selected Spangenberg in the first round with the 10th overall pick in the draft. By the end of the week, Spangenberg was in San Diego to sign a contract and make plans to start his professional career. “A big part of my transfer was just so I could play baseball more and put more effort into it,” said Spangenberg, an infielder who bats left-handed. That effort included competing with other college players in the

summer wooden-bat Valley League where he was named Most Valuable Player of the league after playing every inning of the season for the Winchester, Va. team at shortstop. Spangenberg led the league in batting average (.402 in the regular season, .399 overall), runs scored and on-base percentage while finishing second in total bases and stolen bases. The Valley League MVP performance helped boost Spangenberg in the eyes of many scouts, making him a strong draft candidate before he started at Indian River State College. “I just tried to play for the love of the game this season,” Spangenberg said. “I was trying not to think about who was watching me.” Those who were watching were impressed. Spangenberg ranked sixth in the country among Division I junior

college players with a .477 batting average and was named Florida Junior College Athlete of the Year. “I think Cory’s only going to get better,” Indian River coach Mitch Markham said in a telephone interview. “He’s really improved over the last two years. “He has all the tools to play baseball for a long time.” After the college season, the Padres took a closer look with a private workout in front of their scouting department and general manager Jed Hoyer. Spangenberg put on another show in San Diego, climbing even higher than the projections of later in the first round.

CRANTON – The four-run deficit no longer seemed so imposing. Old Forge had loaded the bases with none out in the top of the sixth inning of Monday’s Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association Class A baseball tournament opener at Connell Park.

The Blue Devils had the top of their order coming up and had already chased Muncy’s starting pitcher out of the game. Sophomore left-hander Skylar Ebner came through in the most difficult of situations for an inexperienced relief pitcher. Ebner struck out the first two batters and got the third to pop up, helping the Indians hold on for an 8-3 victory that ended the season

for the five-time District 2 champion Blue Devils. “Their lefty came in with the bases loaded and nobody out and went K, K and pop up through the top of our order,” Old Forge coach Tony DiMattia said. “That doesn’t happen very often. “We had base runners all over the place. Give them credit. That kid came in and threw strikes.” Muncy stranded 12 Old Forge

runners, including all three Indians pitchers working out of basesloaded jams. Starting pitcher Doug Zehner got out of one jam in the fourth inning to protect a 3-1 lead.

Income remained nearly the same while costs were reduced dramatically. The total receipts for the 2011 tournament dropped less than $400 from $89,762 in 2010 to $89,395 this season.

Envisioning a stadium of fans at PNC Field

SPORTS

ARTS

NEWS

They came flocking to Coca-Cola Park in Allentown again, nearly 9,000 strong on a school night, to watch the Lehigh Valley IronPigs play a minor league baseball game.

PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER

A sparse crowd in the seats during a rain delay at the SWB Yankees vs. Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs game May 19 at PNC Field in Moosic.

They came because fans got free team photos complemented with a free autograph session with the IronPigs, and because, well, nobody in the Lehigh Valley really needs an excuse to support the local baseball team. It’s a scene that once played out in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Remember those days, when near-capacity crowds cascaded into Moosic? The International League president does. And he believes it can happen that way at PNC Field again. That’s why Randy Mobley, who is in his 21st season running the IL, fully supports a proposed innovative renovation of PNC Field. “It very possibly could be the key to getting back to where things were during the (franchise’s) heyday,” Mobley said. His theory sounded as marvelous as Coca-Cola Park looked during a beautiful sunset Tuesday night. An open concourse encircles the field, a large picnic area is stationed in left field, a party tent sits on top of the towering right-field barrier and a grassy knoll invites kids and cuddlers alike to recline on a field of grass behind the center-field wall. It’s that type of vision Scranton/Wilkes-Barre has planned for its stadium renovation project, which gained a boost when Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett recently pledged to uphold a $20 million pledge in state funding for remodeling PNC Field. “With that new ballpark comes additional fan amenities,” Mobley said, “that I think will make the fans want to come back to that ballpark. A new ballpark can be a rallying point.”

OPINION

PAUL SOKOLOSKI He predicts such novelties will rally the 18- to 35-year-old demographic that Mobley suggested is now missing from the park. Actually, everybody’s missing from PNC Field. ‘Nobody’s happy with it’ The SWB Yankees failed to attract a paid crowd of at least 3,000 for the second consecutive home game Monday, falling to 13th among 14 teams in the league with an average attendance of just 2,808 fans per game. “Nobody’s happy with it,” said Mobley, who visited PNC Field this past weekend, “from the ballclub itself to our office.” This is the same franchise that averaged over 7,000 fans watching the old Phillies Triple-A affiliate known as the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons in the 1990s. And it’s the same facility where the franchise’s all-time attendance record was set when Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre became the Triple-A affiliate of the New York Yankees in 2007 – just four years ago. “There’s been tremendous support during those runs,” Mobley said. “I’m not one who believes all those baseball fans have gone away or turned into non-baseball fans.” Maybe it’s a matter of nonconcern. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre fans have expressed feeling an apathetic attitude toward them when they visit the stadium. Not only are they frustrated by a lack of giveaways, those people feel as if something is being taken away from them – by rising ticket prices and everpresent stadium restrictions. What’s next, a pinstripe dress code to enter the gates? “It’s got to be a combination of everything working right,” Mobley said. Without that cooperation, even a concourse surrounding the field won’t keep Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre from running in circles.

USSSA team makes big Impact By TOM ROBINSON For Go Lackawanna

SPORTS

he Impact Panthers have enjoyed a successful tournament season and now they will celebrate by going to Disney World. The Lackawanna County girls’ softball team has accepted an invitation to play in the USSSA World Series for 12-andunder teams at Disney’s Wide World of Sports in Florida July 23-30. The Panthers, who also

participate in events sanctioned by ASA and Pony, are one of 65 teams to earn an invitation to Florida by winning a USSSA regional event. They have actually won qualifying events one each of the past two months after also taking a winter tournament championship. The core group of players on the team also participated in the ASA Nationals, finishing fourth in York as a 10-andunder team in 2009 and playing as an 11-and-under group in the 2010 event at Sterling, Va. “We’ve been playing in more U Triple-S A tournaments this year,” Panthers coach John DeMatteo said. “We thought when we quali-

fied that it was a chance of a lifetime.” The Impact program has been around for five years with teams in multiple age groups at times. The Panthers group is the only one to stay together and is the only Impact team competing this season with eight team members out of 11 in their third year with the program. DeMatteo, who coaches in the Abington Area Girls Softball ASA League, and Dean Tallo, who coaches in the Dunmore Miss-E League, put the team together two years ago. “In the first year, we recruited girls from other areas,” DeMatteo said. “Last year, we had a tryout.”

Another tryout was held this year to fill in the additional three spots on the team. “Playing for us is a big commitment for families,” DeMatteo said. “We practice year-round, 2-3 times a week. “We play in a few winter tournaments, then play from early March until finishing in October.” The team then moves into preparation for winter play in occasional tournaments in domes in Wilkes-Barre and Muncy. The preparation led to championships at the USSSA Double Play Challenge in Quakertown in May and at the USSSA Class B Express in Wind Gap and Bath last weekend.

The team features second baseman Marina Pegula, pitcher/third baseman Gina Tallo and outfielder/third baseman Ally Borgia from Dunmore; catcher Mackenzie Duffy, outfielder Abby Anderson and first baseman Grace Perechinsky from Scranton; pitcher/third baseman Kaylee DeMatteo from Clarks Summit; center fielder/third baseman Katie Walsh from Jermyn, outfielder Kacey Orlowski from Taylor; shortstop/outfielder Maria Knutelski from Mayfield; and pitcher/shortstop Lauren Goetz from Wallenpaupack. John DeMatteo, Dean Tallo, John Anderson, Steve Borgia and Chad Goetz handle the coaching.

As for his level of respect in the garage, Busch said: “You would have to ask everybody else. I’ve been able to have good conversations and talk to people outside the race car or at driver intros and stuff like that. “Whether it’s the case that they’re not being true to my face — I don’t know.

Childress, who may now be the most popular man in NASCAR, opened the day by issuing a statement in which he took all responsibility for last week’s headlock on Busch after the truck race in Kansas. The dust-up came after Busch bumped Childress’ driver, Joey Coulter, in the cool-down lap after they fought for fifth place in the Camping World Truck Series event. “I am very passionate about this sport,” Childress said. “I am passionate about my race teams, our fans and I let my emotions come in front of my passion.

don’t agree that they didn’t handle the situation that happened on the cool-down lap.” Busch, well accustomed to talking about controversial incidents because he seems embroiled in one every week, coolly handled all of the questions about Childress a short time later. Why was the 65-year-old Childress so mad at him? “Me giving a congratulatory bump to Joey Coulter is what tipped him over the edge,” Busch said. “I don’t recall having a face-to-face conversation with Richard where he said, ’If you touch another one of my cars, I am going to come find you.’ I don’t know if it was ever said in the media, but it was never relayed to me.” This incident came just a few weeks after Kevin Harvick and Busch got into it on the track at Darlington. Harvick got out of his car, approached Busch’s car and took a swing. Busch drove away, pushing Harvick’s car into the inside retaining wall on pit road. As talented as he is behind the wheel — and Clint Bowyer spoke for many drivers Friday when he said: “Kyle Busch is one of the best drivers in the sport” — Busch’s WWE-type persona and constant friction with others seem to detract from his ability and deny him the respect he deserves.

PIAA SOFTBALL ROUNDUP

Cougars in it to win it By TOM ROBINSON For Go Lackawanna

At the point in the season when runs are supposed to be tougher to come by, the Valley View Cougars are piling them up to a higher level than they had produced all season. Valley View advanced to Monday’s Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association Class AAA semifinals against Manheim Central at Patriots Park in Allentown at 6 p.m. by winning two state tournament games this week. The Cougars scored in double figures in both games, including one that they put away early on the 10-run rule. There are 32 high school teams left on diamonds in Pennsylvania – four each in the Class AAAA through A brackets in baseball and softball – and the Valley View girls are the only ones to get there by scoring 10 or more runs in each of the first two rounds. Valley View stopped Jersey Shore, 11-1, in Monday’s first round then pounded Pope John Paul II of Royersford, 14-1, in five innings of Thursday’s quarterfinals. The 25 runs are the most produced by unbeaten Valley View all season in back-to-back games. The later they get in the season, the better the Cougars get at ending games early. After stopping just two of the first 13 opponents on the 10-run rule, Valley View has put away three of its last six that way, including a 13-0 rout of Holy Cross in the regular-season finale and a 10-0 victory over West Scranton in its playoff opener, during

the District 2 quarterfinals. “We really have been swinging the bats well in practice since districts started,” Valley View coach E.J. Weston said. “I think we’re really swinging

with confidence.” That goes for the entire order. Valley View got hits from seven of the nine batters Monday. The two who didn’t hit

were Elayna Fazio, who drove in a run with a sacrifice fly and also had a sacrifice bunt, and Maura Santarelli, who walked twice. In just five innings Thursday,

eight of the nine Cougars had hits. The exception was Anna McElroy, who still contributed by driving in a pair of runs. See COUGARS, Page 44

The District 2 championship was the second straight for Valley View, but the state results are a change. The Cougars did not score a run in last year’s state tournament, falling 1-0 to eventual finalist Jersey Shore, the same team Valley View pounded Monday. “We’re excited,” Weston said. “The girls were very disappointed with the result of last year’s game. “We felt like we hit the ball then. We just couldn’t score runs.” That has not been a problem in this year’s state tournament. Casey Pearce was 2-for-3 in the rematch with Jersey Shore. Liz Aniska, Gaby Santarelli, MollyAnn Mecca and Jacqui Rossi all went 2-for-5 from the top four spots in the batting order. Aniska had a double, two runs scored and one driven in. Santarelli scored twice and drove in two runs. Mecca had a double, a run and two RBI. McElroy also drove in two runs with a double and a suicide squeeze. Valley View actually had to work from behind in Monday’s game. The Cougars had a runner thrown out and left the bases loaded in the top of the first. The Lady Dawgs needed just three batters to open the scoring, but the Cougars and pitcher Gina Chieffallo did not allow a run for the next 11 innings. Rossi, the right fielder, threw out a runner at the plate to end the fifth inning. Chieffallo retired the final six in a sixhitter. The sophomore pitcher did not allow her first walk of the state tournament until the fifth inning of the quarterfinals. Chieffallo had been perfect through four innings, but settled for a one-hitter. “I keep on saying that as a sophomore, she’s done a heckuva job for us,” Weston said. “We have a solid defense. We’re getting timely hitting. “We’re proud of the way everyone is playing.” After leaving the bases loaded in the first inning, Valley View scored in nine of the next 11 innings over two games. Katie Iyoob singled to start the second and scored the first of her two runs to tie the Jersey Shore game. McElroy’s double drove in Pearce with the winning run and started a three-run outburst by Valley View in the fourth. The Cougars broke the game open with two runs in the sixth and five more in the seventh. Valley View started Thursday’s game at Patriots Park in Allentown the same way it had finished Monday’s romp at Bloomsburg University – with a five-run inning.

Sunday, June 12, 2011 Aniska led off with a single and Mecca and Maura Santarelli each had RBI hits before Iyoob singled in two runs. The game was delayed for more than an hour because of lightning, but when play resumed, Valley View barely slowed down. Maura Santarelli drove in two more runs in the four-run second. She finished with three hits and five RBI. Mecca and Rossi also finished with three hits against Pope John Paul II. CLASS A Old Forge’s postseason run ended on the 10-run rule when the Lady Devils fell, 10-0, to Wyalusing in five innings Thursday at Bloomsburg University. Before being eliminated, Old Forge won a first-round game, 5-3, over Greenwood at Lebanon Valley College. The Lady Devils won four postseason games, including three in the District 2 tournament, after winning just four games in the entire regular season. “It was very easy for us at four wins to just pack it in, but we didn’t,” Old Forge coach Pat Revello said. “I have to hand it to our six seniors. They didn’t practice like a team that won four games. “They practiced like the champions they are.” Old Forge, which reached the 2009 state final, was in the state tournament as District 2 champion for the fourth straight year. Senior shortstop Andi Alsalahat hit a two-run homer and made a key defensive play Monday to help Old Forge advance. Alsalahat gave Old Forge a 3-0 lead in the third inning, then protected a 5-3 lead in the sixth by catching a basesloaded blooper behind second base, then stepping on the bag for an unassisted double play. Winning pitcher Nicole Marianelli’s fifth-inning single produced the winning run after Greenwood had tied the game. Ciera Holland and Bobbi Jo Loyack each had two-run singles in the fifth inning when Wyalusing ended the game before Old Forge could record an out. The Lady Rams had scored three times each in the second and third innings.
