Ted Michalowski introduced the people of Poland to his self-dubbed “Drawcore.”

POLAND Continued from page 3

Following his father’s first lesson of making as many friends as he could, his Polish companions are now coming to anticipate his annual excursions, and they find common ground in their “unconventional, intuitive, sideways” way of thinking.

“There’s a romance to it because I’m an American artist with Polish roots in the motherland, so when I go over there, they welcome me not as if I’m visiting, but as if I should be there, as if I was an artist born in the wrong country. They view me as I finally found my home, and they view Jason Smeltzer as an alien who’s finally found a planet with intelligent life forms. They’ve given him many names – now he’s Król Jerzy Bzdurny (King George the Senseless), and the personal version of my name is Tedziu,” Michalowski shared.

“Even though we have a very unique thing, I think that many people would receive hospitality that’s quite surprising because Polish people are known for their hospitality. They even set an extra place, and empty seat, at dinners for weary travelers.”

His mission to “make friends, make art, and make an impact” was easy to achieve this year when he and Smeltzer met up with Michał Dziekan, a Warsaw

illustrator and winner of Richard Solomon’s Breakthrough contest, and Kamil Kłos, a Wrocław musician, for live drawing events and collaborations, including a mural of the devil who lives under Wilda, according to Polish folklore, and portraits for Łokietka 5 Infopunkt Nadodzre in Wrocław, a non-profit organization that aids high-risk underprivileged children..

“That camaraderie strengthens our collaborations. They have such a sense of fortitude, mettle. They don’t get embarrassed or self-conscious or squeamish. They stand tall and alongside their friends, always,” he said of the people he met.

“After the weekend Drawcore finale, we celebrated in Plan B of Warszawa. Walking home with these guys, I felt like I was amongst brothers, brothers in creative, collaborative blood.”

He has also learned a lot about Polish humor and wit over the years, particularly when he was commissioned in 2011 to draw a mural King Kong attacking Poznañ city hall for a tourism campaign called “Poznañ I Love You.” “This is the image you want to bring tourists here. I said, ‘Why would you pick King Kong?’ And they said, ‘Because we do not like Godzilla,’” Michalowski retold with a laugh.

“Later on, they said, ‘Godzilla destroys. King Kong saves.’ I thought, ‘OK, that makes sense, but why not butterflies or doves or something?”

Though his experiences were unique to Poland, he couldn’t help but be reminded of home.

He compared his Łokietka 5 Infopunkt Nadodzre project to his artist in residence work for the Northeast Educational Intermediate Unit at the Hawley Alternative Center, and he attended a First Friday event similar to First Friday Scranton, though theirs was held in parking garages and basements with no electricity that had been turned into art spaces.

“This unity can be found, established, and developed here.

It’s camaraderie fueled by the creative spirit, and the creative spirit ignited by camaraderie. And this happens no heavier than in and through the arts. We have that here in Scranton. I think we just need more people to engage,” Michalowski emphasized, citing the students he watches connect every year at Arts Alive.

“My goal in life is to bring people together through my love of art.”

And through art, he was able to discover the truth about the people of Poland, which was far removed from the misinformed jokes he was told as a kid.

“I said to Smeltzer every day I woke up, ‘This is the best place and today is the best day to be in Poland.’ I never look back until I’m on the plane and think about how great it all is because every place is my favorite when I’m there, and every day is my favorite day. It’s really the truth.”

ob “Zeb” Evans and Adele Pollack helped the Scranton Police Department move one step closer toward adding a new member to the force.

The two donated $2,500 to the Scranton Police Department’s K9 Unit on Tuesday, June 12. The money will be used to purchase another K9 officer.

“Having an additional dog for us is a force multiplier, and it’s really going to benefit the city ten times over. It’s going to benefit the officers…and it’s going to take drugs off the street. It’s going to take criminals off the street,” said Scranton Police Chief Dan Duffy.

The donation is the last remaining funds of the now-disbanded group Citizens Concerned About Taxes. Evans and Pollack, members of the group,

said they were looking for a worthy cause to donate the funds to .

After learning about the Police Department’s need for a K9, they decided to donate the funds to them, and made the donation in memory of late members Myron Wolkoff, Elaine Dougherty and Jack Lipman.

much, that says a lot for the officers,” said Duffy. “It says a lot for the K9 unit, and to me it’s the greatest compliment that I can see for our agency, so I really appreciate it.”

“We appreciate it as citizens that we have this protection, so it goes both ways,” said Pollack.

Since being reinstated in 2002, the Scranton Police Department’s K9 Unit has become a vital component in the Police Department’s mission to keep the city safe.

“These dogs are such a tremendous asset to our city. They

not only make it safer for us as law enforcement, they make it safer for the entire city. How many drug seizures, how many people are deterred by the dog itself?” said Duffy.

“Just the other day, (K9 Officer) Yogi, we had a guy in the bushes, he was wanted on a felony drug warrant, the commands to this gentlemen were come out with your hands up otherwise the dog will be released on you.

‘I’m complying, I’m complying,’ he was yelling. So that’s a prime example. We never had to release the dog, we never had to go in the woods after him. He came out after… hearing the dog bark.”

The K9 Unit went down from four to three K9s in early May after Officer Grizzly passed away.

A new K9, which is already lined up, will cost the Police Department an estimated $7,000.

ities are available in the rear of the building, and no parking a vehicle with a “For sale” sign on a street or highway.

Violations of numbers one and two will cost $50 while all other violations will be $25.

The Police Department will send a monthly report and remit money collected from violations to the Business Administrator with a report copy to the City Controller, according to the legislation.

Councilman Jack Loscombe said he discussed the ordinance with Duffy before it was passed and found that adding an additional line item that had been removed years ago would help officers ticket for violations outside those listed.

“There’s a line item on there that they can fill in the code violation based on parking the wrong way, parking on sidewalks and handicapped spots, so it’s actually opened the door for the police officers,” Loscombe explained during council’s June 7 meeting.

Duffy said he is planning to run a series of parking enforcement details, but not as a revenue generator, but rather to address regular complaints the department t receives from citizens.

“You would be very surprised to hear that the vast majority of complaints that the Police Department receives is not on major crimes that are talking place. The vast majority of complaints that we receive are traffic related and also parking related,” Duffy said.

“We’re going to try and be somewhat lenient where we’re going to issue maybe a red written warning first. We’re going to at least do that as a courtesy to let people know that we understand that you’ve been parking on the sidewalks, but you’ve been wrong for a long time. At least we’re going to let people ease into it.”

Duffy feels the ticket changes are not only overdo, but simply a “no-brainer.”

“It’s going to be a benefit for the agency because people may be more prone to pay their tickets because now they have the ability to do it a lot easier.”

Parking Authority transfer approved SCRANTON – With the return of City Council President Janet Evans, council voted 4-1 on June 14 to transfer $1,035,948.50 from the city’s contingency fund to the Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company on behalf of the Scranton Parking Authority to avoid its default on 2007 bond payments.

Evans, who had been absent from meetings for the last month due to her mother’s illness and passing, said she was in contact with Council Solicitor Boyd Hughes throughout her absence and agreed with council’s actions over the last few weeks.

“The financial mismanagement of the Scranton Parking Authority is clear. The taxpayers are on the hook for roughly $100 million in debt. The authority’s annual expenditures exceed their revenue. The authority is not an asset; rather, it is an albatross. Thus, City Council

that professional management assumes the operations of the SPA and sells or leases parking garages to pay down the SPA debt.”

said the Police Department has received a number of donations, and members of the community have been coming forward looking to host fundraisers to help speed up the process.

The next scheduled fundraiser will be Paws for a K-9 Cause Weekend at Bigsy’s Bar & Grill.

“Totally spearheaded by Cris (Farkaly),” Duffy said of the benefit. “She is a major supporter of our K9 Unit.”

“I can not thank her enough for the work she’s done for the Scranton Police Department, it’s a tre-

mendous asset to have a citizen like this in our city.”

Farkaly, who said the event is being sponsored by George and Marie Bidwell, Bigsy’s Bar & Grille, Connie Bagasevich, Bernie’s Tavern, Eric Jones, and Jones’ Tavern, came up with the idea for the fundraiser after talking to Daria Dileo, Chief Duffy’s secretary.

“We had gotten into a conversation about Grizzly… her and I knew in purchasing Yogi…there really can’t be that much funds available,” said Farkaly. “I thought about it for a little while and it was

bothering me. I don’t want the department to be down to three dogs to cover the city, seven days a week, 24 hours a day.”

After receiving Chief Duffy’s blessing, Farkaly started making phone calls and began organizing the event, which will kick off Saturday, June 23, with a beer bash from 2 to 6 p.m. The day will also include basket raffles, a 50/50 drawing, hot dogs, hamburgers and entertainment provided by DJ Steve Hill.

Scranton City Council President Janet Evans voted in favor of transferring funds from the city’s contingency fund to the Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company on behalf of the Scranton Parking Authority

The hope is the money raised during the event will help the Police Department get over the hump and gain the additional funds needed to purchase the K9.

Council voted against giving the SPA’s bank $940,000 on May 31 “gained the full attention of the trustees and bond issuers,” Evans said, alerting them “for the first time” of the authority’s financial management issues.

Hughes explained during council’s June 7 meeting that Arent Fox, LLP, counsel for Radian Asset Assurance, Inc., the insurer of the SPA’s payment obligations, informed him that the city is also in default of several covenants of the lease. If those failures are not resolved in 30 days, Radian will direct the trustee, New York Mellon, to appoint a receiver to take possession of the parking facilities.

SPA went into “event of default” on June 1, Hughes added, and if council did not approve the transfer on June 14, those companies could file a mandamus action against the city to get a court order to raise taxes by $1 million next year to make the bond payment.

Keeping your guard up During this time of a year, a lot of young women are preparing to enter the next phase of their life, and Robert Thomas of The 570 Dojo in Taylor is hoping they add learning how to defend themselves to their list of things to do.

Thomas will be hosting three classes of Girl on Guard, at Core Fitness in Scranton, starting with a free demonstration on Wednesday, June 20 at 7:30 p.m., followed by classes on Wednesday, June 27 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, June 30 at 2 p.m. at a cost of $10.

With many women in the area just graduating high school, Thomas said he felt the time was right to hold the class.

“In a few short weeks from now they’re going to be going off to different colleges, universities, job fields, new environments. So, any time you’re in a new environment you need to have your guard up,” said Thomas.

“The highest rate of sexual assault in America, age-wise, is 16 to 26. So, every girl going off to

Following the dates at Core Fitness, Thomas will continue the class at The 570 Dojo in Taylor.

The female-only class is designed to teach women how to handle themselves if they are attacked using martial arts-based moves, in a non-martial arts setting.

Print journalism is alive and well at Willard Elementary School in West Scranton thanks to the hard work and determination of Enzo Cicco.

The fifth-grader, who said he’s thinking about a career in journalism when he gets older, is the editor-in-chief of the Willard Wildcat News, a school newspaper with articles written by the second, third, fourth and fifth -grade students.

“I knew there used to be one, and I wanted to start another one,” said Cicco.

Once he decided that he wanted to bring the school newspaper back, Cicco went to Willard Elementary School Principal Jessica Leitzel who said she was thrilled with the concept.

Sensei Jerry Rizzo, said he is the only certified instructor in northeast Pennsylvania in both the Fight Like a Girl and Girl on Guard systems. The two systems were developed by Steve Kardian, a New York City Police Officer, who instructed Thomas.

Thomas stressed that while the students are using martial arts moves, this is not a martial arts class.

“It’s just a class of safety and personal protection,” said Thomas.

“We train people to prevail on the street, it’s reality-based.

Groin strikes are legal, chops to the throat and eye sockets are legal.”

Thomas went on to explain that the length of time someone has to invest is also drastically different in his Girl on Guard class compared to a traditional martial arts class.

In a traditional martial arts class, he said it could take years before a student obtains a self-defense knowledge base, whereas Thomas is confident if someone See GUARD, Page 10

were to begin training with him now, they will be better prepared by the time they go off to college for an attack, if one were to happen.

The techniques are designed for women of every size, and Thomas said the techniques are not about size and strength, but rather leverage, balance and attitude.

In addition to techniques, the class also goes over role playing, situational awareness techniques and what to do if you are attacked.

“We also talk about what to do when…the fight-or-flight response occurs. There are so many systems out there where they don’t even teach you what to say or what to shout,” said Thomas.

“In martial arts movies, like Bruce Lee and stuff, making those funny noises, are not just for the camera, that’s for a reason that gets the breathing going. If someone were to grab you and you clam up and don’t say anything, you’re going to tense up. If

you could relax and shout back, ‘No,’ and start the striking…the breathing will start, the muscles will get oxygen, you’ll be more relaxed and be able to respond appropriately.”

There are also things a person can do that can possibly stop an attack before it starts, the easiest of which is keep yourself from looking like a target.

“It’s part of the animal kingdom, predators prey on the weak….so we talk about using the buddy system. And that goes

into adulthood, if women are going to the senior citizen center, don’t walk in alone. If you’re going Christmas shopping, or going to the mall, take someone with you, go in groups.”

“If you’re alone, and you have your arms full of bags, and you’re totally distracted and you’re fumbling for your keys, you’re a target.”

Thomas began teaching Girl on Guard classes four years ago, and since that time he has received a lot of positive feedback

“Enzo really was persistent in coming to me and saying, ‘Ok, we’re ready to put out the next edition.’ He would always come to me and ask for my support, but… he did all the leg work for this paper. I’m really proud of him.”

Cicco sent a letter out to all the students in grades two through five requesting articles. Students interested in making submissions drop them off in Leitzel’s office, who gives them a quick read before passing them off to Cicco.

from students who the class has helped either because they have had to use what they’ve learned, or because it has given them a sense of security.

“I feel safer,” said Brittany Talvera, who completed Level 1 of Girl on Guard. “You never know when a stranger could attack you, and you need to know what to do.”

While thinking about, and preparing for, something like an attack might not be the most pleasant thought for some people, the reality is this is something that’s valuable for women to learn and grows more valuable each day due to the different ways technology can aide someone looking to cause harm.

“With technology these days, all of us are more vulnerable, especially young girls,” said Thomas. “Too much information is out there these days. With iPhones there are apps you can purchase that will give you another iPhone user’s whereabouts.”

“There’s another app where, if person A, the stalker, is infatuated with person B, the person being stalked, this app will calculate the things the person talks about …and it will give you a

The first edition was published in December, and since then Cicco has put one out every month. Leitzel said the hard work he has put into the product has been noticed and is appreciated by all the students in the school, especially the ones who contributed articles.

“The kids who are published in it, you see them saying, ‘When’s the paper coming out?’ and being excited to see their article printed. They share it with their friends, teachers and family, so it’s really exciting,” said Leitzel.

The Willard Wildcat News is fifty cents an issue, and the school has been saving the profits all year and will be using the money to buy pet food and supplies that will be donated to the Griffin Pond Animal Shelter.

Cicco, who will be attending West Scranton Intermediate School in the fall, said he’s happy that the Willard Wildcat News will continue next year, with his cousin, Antonio Pugliese, taking over the duties of editor-in-chief.

Different types of cyber stalking and ways to protect yourself against it are also covered in the class.

In addition Girl on Guard, The 570 Dojo also offers a Women’s Self-Defense, which teaches essential self-defense techniques for women; Tsunami Self-Defense, a co-ed class featuring reality-based martial arts; and Mushin-Do, the most traditional and formal course path. This belt-rank course delves into advanced techniques of self-defense and overall wellness.

Private, small group and corporate classes are available by appointment with Thomas.

The 570 Dojo’s head assistant instructor Shanta Lee, or its newest assistant instructor Talvera are on hand for these classes.

Those interested in participating in the Girl on Guard class at Core Fitness are encouraged to register in advance.

WSHS student makes her Riverside School Board is playing the voice heard at board meeting DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@golackawanna.com

The Scranton School Board of Directors heard from West Scranton High School senior Galen Haggerty during its regular meeting on Monday, June11.

Haggerty, who had participated inthechorusprogramattheschool in years past, shared what she feels were the negative effects that resulted in the decision to split the chorus program between two teachers instead of having one fulltime teacher.

Karen Lotz, who was the chorus teacher at the high school, was movedtoJohnF.KennedyElementary School for the 2011-12 school year. West Scranton High School band and orchestra teachers split up the classes .

“This ended up causing difficulty in preparing for concerts since the teachers did not coordinate what songs were going to be per-

formed (in the concert),” said Haggerty.

The switch was made as the district’s answer to cuts in funding by the state . The district didn’t want to eliminate the program, but moving a dedicated teacher like Lotzchanged the program.

“It’s unfortunate, those are some of the things that happen when funding is cut (in) the school districts. Fortunately, we didn’t have to eliminate the (chorus) program, but sometimes certain personal, they are the music program, so while it wasn’t eliminated, the person who really had their heart and soul in it got bumped into different position, so it’s an unfortunate situation,” said King.

School Board President Bob Lesh offered Haggerty an apology for the adjustments made to the class,andtriedtoexplainitwasn’ta

change the board was eager to make.

“It’s just sad. This is a thing that we as a board are frustrated over, very frustrated over. This governor (Tom Corbett), he has done nothing but take away, take away and give nothing back,” said Lesh.

“He’s forgetting about these children… right now he’s robbing them of one of the best opportunities to revive culture in this area.”

Another drawback for students wanting to take chorus this year that Haggerty explained was that chorus practices before and after school could not be scheduled, limiting membership to only students who could fit the class into their schedule.

As a result, students, like Haggerty, who had been a member of

COUNCIL

collective bargaining awards, though a final amount has still not been released.

“Mayor Doherty knows council’s plan very well. PEL and (the Department of Community and Economic Development) know council’s plan. They don’t agree and are attempting to bully City Council into an approval of their poorly-conceived plan which will financially crush taxpayers. Following six months of negotiations in which I participated in good faith, I have learned that Mayor Doherty doesn’t want council’s input,” Evans said.

“Council will not approve the Revised Recovery Plan as submitted…If the mayor wants a Revised Recovery Plan, let him fully incorporate council’s recommendations into his plan and sign off on it.”

Hughes added that, in his legal opinion, the submitted plan violates the Recovery Act. Evans noted that the council majority, excluding Councilman Bob McGoff, refused to attend a “mediation session” in Harrisburg with DCED and the mayor, placing blame on them “for the dire financial straits” of the city and calling DCED “the root cause of the over $30 million Supreme Court Award

to Scranton police and fire.”

“You can not negotiate with people who say, ‘What’s mine is mine and what’s yours is negotiable,’” Evans said.

In addition to seeking unfunded borrowing, she also encouraged the administration to seek another Tax Anticipation Note of $5 million to pay for the city’s daily operations and offer a monthly portion of the earned income tax revenue as payment for the TAN. “By paying this debt, it gives us a greater opportunity to move forward on the unfunded debt, on the possibility of a TAN-B, that type of further borrowing,” McGoff said of Thursday’s transfer vote for the SPA. “Failure to have paid this, I believe, would have negated any possibility of us getting a TAN, of us getting unfunded debt, of any further type of borrowing, so while it may not be the best of situations, I believe it at least gives us a chance to move forward.”

McGoff defended the administration, saying the Business Administrator Ryan McGowan has “tirelessly pursued” borrowing since January, but said the only bank interested backed away after council let the SPA slip into event of default.

include an increase in real estate tax millage rates by 29 percent in 2013, 20 percent in 2014, and15 percent in 2015 to eliminate the remaining projected deficits for a total of a 64 percent increase over the next three years with a one percent increase in the non-resident earned income tax.

It also includes selling or leasing the city’s storm water conveyance system to the Scranton Sewer Authority and the city’s parking meters to the Scranton Parking Authority as well as increases in refuse fees, the levying of an amusement tax, and across-the-board salary cuts.

Evans said council outlined their own requirements for a plan, but many of those were not included, such as new revenue generators and a plan to begin payment of the 2011 Supreme Court decision in favor of the city’s public safety unions. The court found that Act 47 does not supersede the Policemen and Firemen Collective Bargaining Act, or Act 111, forcing the city to pay up on roughly10 years of

waiting game TYLER MILES Go Lackawanna Correspondent

TAYLOR– The Riverside School Board has decided to wait for a final decision on the state’s budget before voting on the district’s budget for the 2012-13 school year.

During last month’s meeting a tentative preliminary budget, for $22.98 million for the 2012-2013 school year, was passed on a 7-2 vote by the board, but the board declined to vote on a final budget during its meeting on Monday, June 11.

“We’re… looking at seeing about the fund balance amount we projected to use for this school year; perhaps if we didn’t use all of that then we have some additional money,” said Riverside’s Business Manager Jospeh Surridge.

“This final product will not

be pretty, it could have a tax increase, which no one wants, and so what I’m trying to say is I’m trying to make it as pretty as possible. .”

One of the big driving costs for this year is the Public School Employees’ Retirement System, or PSERS benefit plan, a state retirement fund.

Each school district is obligated to contribute to the system, but the rate for this year has gone up roughly 40 percent, which amounts to about $400,000 of an increase in the budget for Riverside.

The final vote on the budget will take place on Thursday, June 28.

The school board meets at 7 p.m. in the Riverside High School library.

Junior Penguins donate memorial tree to Riverside TYLER MILES Go Lackawanna Correspondent

TAYLOR – The Riverside School Board voted unanimously to approve accepting a memorial tree donated by the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Junior Penguins in honor of the late Gary Lukasiewicz during the board’s meeting on Monday, June 11.

Lukasiewicz, 18, of Taylor, passed away at his home on May 19, after a two-year fight with cancer.

Inspired by the memorial tree, Board President Robert Bennie shared his vision of a meditative park with the tree being the center piece on the grass island in front of Riverside High School.

Benches would be placed around the six pine trees on

the island, creating a comforting atmosphere, and a professional sign would be set up near the bottom of the hill, welcoming all driving up to the high school.

If the project did become more than an idea, the funding would be solely based on community support.

Bennie stressed that this plan is in its infancy and said there are no “drawings or plans” made up for it at this time.

In other news, the board approved the offering of a SAT Prep Course at Riverside High School during the month of August, for grades the six through 10, at a cost of $20 per student.

Insurance agent arrested A former Lackawanna County insurance agent was arrested on Monday, June 11 and charged with stealing more than $50,000 in insurance policy premiums, which he allegedly converted for his own use.

Attorney General Linda Kelly identified the defendant as Ronald Madajeski, 63, 800 Clay Ave., Scranton. Madajeski was a licensed insurance agent and owner of RMI Group located in Dickson City.

According to the criminal complaint between 2010 and 2011, Madajeski allegedly collected more than $50,000 for insurance policy premiums from various businesses for a variety of related insurance policies such as liability insur-

ance, workers compensation insurance and cargo insurance.

Kelly said that once Madajeski collected the money from his business clients he failed to forward the funds to the appropriate insurance underwriters and instead kept the monies for his personal use.

The charges state that Madajeski also allegedly altered documents issued by insurers, despite being unauthorized to make those adjustments. Kelly said that the alterations included increasing the premium cost of policies and directing the insured to make premium payments directly to Madajeski and not the insurer.

Kelly noted that Madajeski allegedly continued to solicit

policies, quote insurance premiums and collect additional monies from businesses despite having his insurance agent license suspended by the Pennsylvania Department of Insurance in March 2011.

Madajeski was taken into custody on Tuesday, June 12 and is charged with eight counts of theft by deception, four counts of insurance fraud and one count of forgery.

Attorney General Kelly thanked the Pennsylvania Insurance Department for their assistance with the investigation.

The case will be prosecuted in Lackawanna County by Senior Deputy Attorney General Robert LaBar of the Attorney General’s Insurance Fraud Section.

West Scranton focuses on fire prevention The city of Scranton had engaged in a cooperative effort of all departments to improve the quality of life for residents by focusing on blight, abandoned vehicles and general home safety as it applies to fire prevention.

The cooperative effort resulted in the following from the West Scranton area of the city: Eighteen homes are now protected with 83 smoke detectors being installed by the Scranton Fire Department; 52 homes with blight concerns were addressed, of those 52, 36 have since complied, 10 citations were filed and seven are being rechecked; 89 abandoned vehicles have been tagged parked on streets in West Scranton;

there have been numerous trash pickups at various locations by DPW; and several stop work orders have been issued and home inspections/condemnations took place as well.

The city departments’ initiative, which was headed by the Scranton Police Department, started in West Scranton at the Taylor border and is now complete in the West Scranton area.

The initiative is heading into North Scranton starting next week.

Scranton Police Chief Dan Duffy is requesting that any additional concerns in the West Scranton area regarding blight, abandoned vehicles, requests for smoke alarm installation, which is a free service by the

fire department, or crime issues be forwarded to the West Scranton Day Shift Patrol Sergeant David Dunn.

Dems bash Romney CORY BURRELL Go Lackawanna Correspondent

The Democratic National Committee’s “Romney Economics: The Middle Class Under the Bus” tour stopped in Scranton on Friday at Courthouse Square.

According to a statement from the Democratic National Committee, the tour aimed to “discuss Mitt Romney’s real economic record and highlight the broken promises Romney made while running for governor of Massachusetts.”

Former congressman Patrick Murphy opened the tour with a statement supporting President Barack Obama while attacking what he called Romney’s suggested policy of trickle-down economics.

“It is very, very clear that Romney economics of trickle-down would protect only the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans,” Murphy said. Murphy introduced Massachusetts state Rep. John Scibak, who cited several statistics about Massachusetts while Romney was governor from 2003 to 2007.

Sciback, who has been state representative since 2002, said under Romney’s term as governor, Massachusetts fell from 36th among

states in the country in job growth to 47th when Romney left office.

Sciback also said Massachusetts also had the highest debt in the country. Since 1999, Massachusetts has ranked no lower than second among states with the highest per-capita debt in the nation.

SCRANTON – While the makers of “Forged” may have picked up international film festival accolades in New York, Providence, Los Angeles, and San Diego for the film about redemption, a lawsuit filed last week in federal court alleges it hasn’t earned the money it is due from a distributor.

The civil suit, filed June 13 in U.S. District Court in the Middle District of Pennsylvania, alleges that Revere Pictures, 515 Center St., Scranton, is owed at least $75,000 from Maya Corporation Entertainment Group, Inc., of Los Angeles, Calif., for the distribution of the movie filmed in northeastern Pennsylvania in 2009.

Maya purchased distribution rights to “Forged” in March 2011, and was shown in New York City, Los Angeles, San Antonio, Chicago, Callas, Miami, and San Francisco last year as a part of the agreement. A local red carpet premiere was held at the Marquee

Cinema in downtown Scranton in early Aug. 2011.

Revere Pictures owner and CEO Joe Van Wie, of Scranton, has “sent numerous correspondence/emails requesting payment” since Aug. 26, 2011, but Maya has not responded to

any message, according to the lawsuit.

Revere alleges a breach of contract and unjust enrichment in the suit filed by attorney Anthony J. Piazza of the Scranton law firm Murphy, Piazza and Genello.

Those Clever Foxes release debut EP RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com

If Doug Griffiths has to classify his largely Scranton-based band, he says they are “punk indie,” but unlike most bands, he cannot clearly define his role, as each member of Those Clever Foxes lives up to their name by switching from instrument to instrument and even sharing vocals.

“We all are involved in the songwriting process, so when we come down to it, it usually comes down that Sean (Flynn) will write a guitar part and somebody else will jump on the drums for it.

It all really just depends on whoever. We kind of just let it be arbitrary,” Griffiths explained.

“A lot of times it will even work out where somebody’s having trouble on their instrument, so they’ll switch with somebody else and the song will come together in a completely different way or format. It really just comes down to whatever we’re feeling at the time.”

Founded by his friend Flynn, the singer/guitarist for another local act, Echo Whiskey Charlie, Those Clever Foxes have learned to share their musical “strengths and weaknesses” to form a cohesive and original band that isn’t afraid to experiment and challenge themselves.

Summer reading programs Students rewarded for good grades improve children’s skills DEAL Does your child want to camp under the stars? Be a truck driver or a fireman? Fly like an eagle or be a singer in a rock ‘n roll band?

The Scranton Public Library offers children and young adults the opportunity to explore all of these dreams and more this summer at its four locations: Albright Memorial Library, Lackawanna County Children’s Library, Nancy K. Holmes Branch and our newest branch, Library Express at the Mall at Steamtown.

Are you wondering what to do with your children during these long hot summer days? Look no further; join our annual summer reading program. Children stay busy and entertained and improve their skills. Regular contact with print materials— books, magazines, writing games—helps little children get ready to read and helps big kids raise their scores.

Every summer the Lackawanna County Library System sponsors a free, convenient, fun way to encourage children to read: the summer reading program.

Sign up is free with a Lackawanna County Library card. Register at one of our sites and you will be eligible for prizes, incentives and an end of summer party for those children who completed the requirements. Hundreds of children, babies through teens, visit their libraries to enroll in summer reading programs. While they might think they’re amusing themselves, educators know informal reading in the summer maintains and even increases children’s reading skills.

In addition to the summer reading program, there are opportunities for children and teens to explore and participate in age appropriate, fun and informational programs. Children can go on a scientific exploration of the world of dinosaurs, fossils, plants, bugs, undersea creatures, rocks and minerals with paleontologist Bill Straka or even be a reptile hunter and experience the most unusual and exciting reptiles with reptile expert Leo Skinner. For readers in fourth through sixth grade, Junior Battle of the Books is a competitive

reading contest where teams will be quizzed on five selected books at the end of the summer in a countywide contest.

Teens in seventh through 12th grade can also enjoy the summer with the library.

There is Teen Read, our teen summer reading program, with lots of exciting prizes. Also, teens can now join the Albright Memorial Library Teen Green Team and learn about being green while also having lots of fun.

Internationally known painter, Tina Imel will conduct a painting workshop for four afternoons in July and August.

At the end of the summer, on August 16, there will be a Battle of the Books for teens as well. So teens, bring your library card or if need be, for goodness sakes sign-up for one because a library card is all you need to participate in these free summer activities at your library.

For more information about the Scranton Public Library’s programs, visit www.albright.org.

All of these programs are free with your library card. If you do not have one, come in and get one today.

The end of the school year is finally here and report cards have been handed out.

Many children display report cards on the fridge, in a frame or in a scrapbook, but before tucking away those good grades why not cash in on some of the rewards from local businesses.

As always, it’s a good idea to call ahead to make sure that your location is participating in the rewards programs.

Uno Chicago Grill offers elementary through middle school aged children an opportunity to make their own pizza for free. Bring in your report card showing any type of improvement to create a personalized pizza.

Pizza Hut offers a reward each marking period, any child who has three A’s or the equivalent thereof, will receive one personal pan pizza and a small soft drink,

DETECTIVE

JENNA URBAN or a carton of milk, by presenting his or her report card to the manager. This offer is good for elementary and middle school students.

This offer is available for dine-in customers only. Student must be present and the original report card must be presented.

What kid doesn’t love to see those “golden arches?” If your child has straight A’s on their report card, he or she can receive a free Happy Meal at McDonalds.

Just in case you pass by the “golden arches” then head to our favorite place, where everyone is a kid, Chuck E. Cheese. Chuck E. Cheese believes in the value

than having to come back to the next show or having to wait for the next show for that matter, here’s a physical representation of who we are.’ We can let people listen to that and try and spread the word about what we’re trying to do,” he continued.

The album of songs inspired by their day-to-day lives was recorded at 119 Productions in Scranton with their friend Jay Preston mixing the album.

Aside from being multi-instrumentalists, he believes the band’s most outstanding trait is their down-to-earth personalities and attitude.

“I think we’re all just really personable and friendly. Musically, we’re doing what we care about, and I think it really comes across, but I think the biggest thing is that we’re just four guys just playing music. We don’t have a rock star mentality that certain people do have. We’re just there to hang out. We play shows with our friends,” he emphasized.

“I know a lot of other bands have that mentality too, so it’s really nice. I think it’s like you’re go-

ing to see a group of friends enjoying what they’re doing rather than some band that’s going to sell t-shirts to you for $40.”

Those Clever Foxes often encourage members of the public to go out and attend more local shows, even if it’s not their own.

“I’ve been playing music in bands for a long time and I think right now the scene in Scranton is one of the most talented and probably the friendliest scene I’ve ever been a part of. I think all the musicians are fantastic and they’re all very good at what they do. Bands like Silhouette Lies – they put on one of the most memorable shows I’ve ever seen and bands like A Social State and A

of a good education. Have your child bring in their most recent report card and they will receive free tokens for good grades.

Krispy Kreme also offers rewards for good grades. Get a free donut for each A. There is a six donut limit.

Cold Stone Creamery offers free ice cream if you get straight A’s. Just have your child bring in their report card. This is for children in kindergarten through fifth grade.

With all the options above, you may want to think twice before packing away those report cards. Don’t wait too long because most places won’t honor the rewards after 30 days post school year. It really does pay to get good grades.

Do you know a place that offers a similar reward?

Share it with us at facebook.com/golackawanna Fire with Friends just put on performance after performance of just musical perfection,” he pointed out.

“The biggest issue with the scene is a lack of knowledge, I think, from the general public…The general people don’t really know what’s going on with it too much and I think that’s something that all the musicians in this area really want to get together and change.”

So passionate about what they do, the band plans to return the studio in just a few weeks to record another EP to be released by the end of the summer and may soon take their act on the road.

“We’re all really excited about the new stuff we’ve written and what we’re continuing to write.

We’re kind of focusing more on what we’re capable of doing rather than what we know we can do…We’re really going to push ourselves more and more…to what we think is our limit,” Griffiths insisted “It’s such a cliché thing to say, but I really feel like every show to me is just as memorable as the last one. We try and do our best every single time, and every single show we’ve done there’s been something cool that’s happened or something unique about it.”

Old Forge graduate helps Cougars succeed There are two things you need to know to understand how tough the only head coaching experience was for Joe Zabielski.

Zabielski never won a game as a head football coach.

The Old Forge graduate was asked to step down in the middle of a season, a rarity on the high school level.

There are two things about what Zabielski did next that say a lot about where he is now.

Zabielski resigned as head coach, but remained with his team as an assistant, trying to help the Susquehanna Sabers dig out from the program’s lowest point.

The next step for Zabielski was coaching as an assistant on the college level, commuting 65 miles from work during the school year, in a way going back to school himself to learn to be a better coach.

Zabielski has two shining examples of what kind of coach he is now.

At Valley View, where he is also a math teacher, Zabielski is a prominent part of two of the Lackawanna League’s biggest success stories.

With Zabielski as defensive coordinator, Valley View won the Lackawanna Football Conference Division 1 and District 2 Class AAA championships.

Zabielski’s defense held the first 11 Valley View opponents to single digits in scoring. In the 12th game, the Cougars kept Dallas off the scoreboard for the final three quarters, giving the offense the chance to recover from a tough start and advance the team into the state playoffs with an 18-12 district championship victory.

Defense is the hallmark of Zabielski’s work on a different field in the spring.

As assistant coach, he

KEEPING SCORE TOM ROBINSON works with the outfielders who made two of the biggest plays of the postseason while helping Valley View reach Friday’s state Class AAA title game before falling.

“It’s a great ride,” Zabielski said after a parade with the team through the Valley View School District Wednesday night. “It’s surreal.”

The 1991 Old Forge graduate rose quickly in coaching after playing football at Bucknell where he was a three-year letterman and starting tight end. Zabielski’s reward was one of the most difficult assignments in northeastern Pennsylvania high school sports before his 30th birthday.

The guy who had about as tough an experience as a head coach can go through is thriving in two of the best situations of which an assistant coach can be a part.

“It feels the same for me if I was the head coach or assistant coach,” Zabielski said. “It doesn’t make a difference. It’s the same amount of coaching.

“I still have to run the same amount of things. I just don’t have some of the intrinsic factors and all the other phone calls.”

Zabielski earned the experiences of the past year with the work he has put in since his days as a starting quarterback and first baseman with the Blue Devils.

At Susquehanna, Zabielski arrived in time to take over a rural, small-school program that was in a downslide in the years after becoming a state contender. Although the wins and losses had been falling off slowly before he took over, the damage was more visible elsewhere. Zabielski’s first team had a roster of just 19 See OLD FORGE, Page 27

players, putting the team’s future in jeopardy.

A more experienced coach may have fared better, but Zabielski kept up the fight, meeting with students and officials at Blue Ridge as part of the cooperative sponsorship the two schools started. The losses continued, but Susquehanna’s program was saved and students at Blue Ridge, which had earlier failed in attempts at football, now had a place to play.

Zabielski’s second team had 50 players, although only 18 with football experience in school. Another winless season was followed by a 0-3 start in 2004 when Zabielski was convinced that he needed to step aside and make way for

ittle League Baseball’s continued exploration into the increaseofdistancebetween bases and to the pitching mound will make its way to Lackawanna County before the end of the summer.

Pennsylvania Districts17 and 32 of Little League will begin baseball and softball tournament play later this week.

After going through their routinetournamentstoadvanceteams toward regional play in multiple age groups, the districts will experiment for the first time with 70-foot bases and 50-foot pitching mounds for baseball.

Little League is a term commonly used for the baseball and softball teams ages 12-and-under that use bases set at 60 feet apart and work fromapitchingmound46feetfrom home play.

The organization known as Little League Baseball, however, also organizes leagues for older players, whoinbaseballultimatelymoveup to bases that are the regulation 90 feet apart with a pitching mound at 60 feet, 6 inches.

Zabielski was an oversized quarterback in his era, but succeeded in leading the Blue Devils to a pair of Suburban Conference titles by taking a level-headed approach to the game. He finds it easier to bring that approach to coaching on the softball field.

Dick Bagnall to return as the team’s coach.

“I look at it as a win,” Zabielski said. “It might have been a failure in record, but I look at it as a win in that we kept the program together.”

Zabielski called his days at Susquehanna a learning experience and credited them with getting him a shot at Wilkes where he said he became a better coach.

His coaching ideals are no different, but Zabielski said he learned about working within a program during his four years at Wilkes. He said he also found out just how dis-

ciplined and rigorous his approach had to be in order to be successful.

In addition to the big picture, Zabielski learned about attention to details. When he prepares Valley View’s defense for a high school opponent, he does it exactly as the Colonels prepare for a college game.

Valley View supplied him with tremendous talent, including Penn State recruit Nyeem Wartman, but Zabielski also won the respect of colleagues and opponents with his preparation.

“I would attribute everything I learned on breaking

Little League Baseball began working on its 50-70 Pilot Program in 2010. The program uses the new distances for players ages 11 through 13.

“The50-70isbeingdevelopedby Little League,” District 17 and 32 administrator Mike Serino said.

“There could be a World Series at 50-70."

Little League International senior vice president of operations and program development Patrick Wilson said feedback from this seasonwillhelpdeterminewheretofit in a potential 50-70 addition in the future.

“By all accounts, the program has progressed,” Wilson said in an off-season press release from the Little League offices in South Williamsport. “Survey results again showed that many local leagues have embraced the concept of a division of play that provides a bridge between the standard Little LeagueBaseballfieldandaconventional baseball field.”

Eventually,someleaguesmayoffer both field sizes, or leagues may choose between which form of the game they think is best for players in the 12-year-old range. Junior

League, for players 13 to 14, currently makes the move to larger fields.

“Our goal is to evaluate the viability of offering the 50-70 Baseball Division to all leagues worldwide, asearlyas2013,”Wilsonsaid.“This would consist of full integration into the International Tournament, to include a World Series.”

The districts for Lackawanna County players will be part of that evaluation.

Serino said Sloan Field in West Scranton and Jefferson Field in Jefferson Township are among those willing to modify to the 50- and 70foot lengths for a tournament later this summer after the district tournaments are completed.

Six leagues have already committed to send all-star teams and Serino expects more for the test event.

“Nobodycansaytheydon’tlikeit if they haven’t tried it,” Serino said.

Little League International, through its website, has provided a step-by-step tutorial for local leagues that want to convert an existing field for dual use.

down a film and doing my study to Frank Sheptock at Wilkes,” Zabielski said. “I do exactly the same system he uses.

“I use the same nomenclature, do the same breakdown of down and distance and tendencies.

“I really worked out the numbers game and percentages. I learned everything from him.”

The results were evident on the football field last fall.

They are there again in softball where Zabielski joined in a system head coach E.J. Weston had in place. Zabielski said Weston is effective in getting all his coaches, down through junior varsity and junior high, to teach the same way and they connect in having the same approach to coaching.

Zabielski was an oversized quarterback in his era, but succeeded in leading the Blue

Devils to a pair of Suburban Conference titles by taking a level-headed approach to the game. He finds it easier to bring that approach to coaching on the softball field.

“Softball is my reprieve,” he said. “I don’t have to be so intense on the field.

“It takes me back to high school or even college when I was more cerebral, more focused, more calm.”

The results have been unmistakable.

The Cougars lost just twice in the last two seasons, a 1-0 game in the 2011 state semifinals and Friday’s 2-1 loss to Big Spring in the state final.

They allowed fewer than one run per game overall and outscored 13 district and state playoff opponents by a combined margin of 86-11.

“It takes a lot of work and a lot of hours, but there’s a lot of payoff,” Zabielski said.

MMA fighter working to improve

By TOM ROBINSON For Go Lackawanna

Some Mixed Martial Arts fighters specialize in a particular area of the sport, whether it be boxing, Jiu Jitsu or wrestling.

Sean Olivieri aspires to master all of them.

The 22-year-old amateur middleweight from Old Forge is the quick to acknowledge he has a long way to go in the process.

“I have to improve on everything,” Olivieri said. “I want to do everything accurately.

“I want to be good at everything.”

Olivieri took up the sport in

March of 2010 after becoming interested based on what he saw on television. A friend told him about Balance Combat in Old Forge and he started training there.

Olivieri, who works in the shipping department of Golden Technologies, said he would like to keep progressing in the sport.

“I would hope to turn pro one of these times,” Olivieri said. “I know I’m definitely not ready to turn pro. I’m just waiting for the right moment.

“I want to have five or six more fights under my belt before I’ll be able to consider myself ready to turn pro.”

Olivieri showed progress in

his most recent fight, getting Ian Brofsky to tap out from a Figure 4 rear naked chokehold at 1:39 of the second round of their PA Cage Fight 12 bout at Genetti Manor in Dickson City last month.

The win improved his record to 2-1 with the only loss coming against Kris Gratalo, a former Pittston Area wrestler and childhood friend before Olivieri moved from Pittston to Old Forge as a fifth-grader.

Before applying the chokehold, Olivieri had some trouble with Brofsky’s background in wrestling.

“I need to obviously work more on my takedown defense,” Olivieri said.

Plans are still in the preliminary stage, but Olivieri’s next bout could be against another strong wrestler when PA Cage Fight 13 is held at The Woodlands in Wilkes-Barre in August.

Olivieri takes classes each evening at Balance Combat where he says Joseph Anistasi makes sure he is constantly drilled on the basics at the start of each session. Olivieri has also stopped in at other schools to vary his training.

“The guys at Team Tattoo in Scranton helped a lot with my Jiu Jitsu,” Olivieri said. “I want to work on more of my wrestling for this next fight.”

HIGH SCHOOL NOTEBOOK

Season comes to close for high school athletes “They’re not only smart, but they have good attitudes. It’s easier to teach someone who has that going for them.”

The high school sports year in Pennsylvania came to a close Friday, June 15 at Penn State when the PIAA conducted its state championships in baseball and softball.

The Valley View softball team was the only squad from District 2 to make it to the final day of high school sports in Pennsylvania.

The Cougars led into the seventh inning before giving up two runs and falling to Big Spring, 2-1.

Big Spring was the first team in four seasons to score more than one run against Valley View in a playoff game.

The unbeaten Cougars loaded the bases in the bottom of the seventh, but had the potential tying run thrown out in a close play at the plate.

The final was the second straight dramatic finish involving the Cougars.

Valley View reached the state final by avenging the only loss of the 2011 season

with a 1-0 victory over Manheim Central Monday at Patriots Park in Allentown.

Gina Coccetti singled in the game’s only run in the bottom of the sixth inning then made a sliding, game-ending catch with the bases loaded in left field in the top of the seventh.

Outfield defense, an area of concentration for assistant coach Joe Zabielski, was a big part of Valley View’s run to the state final.

Valley View completely rebuilt its outfield after last season’s run to the state semifinal.

The Cougars turned back Wyoming Area, 6-1, in the district final with the help of a spectacular, momentum-changing catch by right fielder Blayse Cholish.

Sophomore Coccetti and Cholish were joined by junior Emma Thomson, who played center field.

“They’ve improved from day one,” said Zabielski, an Old Forge graduate. “They’re good little players.

ODDS AND ENDS Central Bucks South (AAAA), Neshannock (AA) and Fannett Metal (A) won the other titles in softball.

All four championships came down to one-run games, including two that were decided in extra innings.

Philadelphia LaSalle (AAAA), West York (AAA) Riverside from District 7 (AA) and Bishop McCort (A) won the baseball title games, which were also played at Penn State.

The 2012-13 high school sports season will get started for local schools Aug. 17 when the Jackman Memorial Boys’ Golf Tournament is played at Scranton Municipal. The Jackman girls’ event will follow Aug. 21 at same course.

LITTLE LEAGUE

duced next season with multiple changes.

District17 and 32 information officer Marty Ort said that district tournament brackets are being finalized with 9-10-year-old events set to begin Friday and 11-12-year-olds to follow Saturday.

Ortsaidtherehasbeensomegrowthinthe number of participating teams at locally.

There will be a return of Big League (17and18-year-olds)tournamentsthisyearwith two teams in District 17 and the possibility for more in District 32.

District17 has an increase from six to nine teams on the Junior League level. District 32 hasanincreasefromsixtosevenonthesame

level.

District 32 has also gone from three to five teams in Senior Little League.

Ort said that some leagues wrap up their league play to move to the all-star tournament play on the district level, while others continue through the tournament season and resume when it is over.

The Old Forge, Moosic, Taylor and West Scranton/Sloan/Lackawanna Little Leagues all compete in District17.

Several other county leagues, including Green Ridge, Marvine Dutch Gap, North Scranton and Weston Park in the city of Scranton are part of District 32.

Fence distance for 50-70 fields is recommended to be at least 200, but not more than 300, feet.

Offering 70-foot bases is just one change on the horizon, according to Serino. The Sterling Township resident is entering his 58th year with Little League Baseball and has been on the organization’s International Board of Directors since November.

Serino said a new rule book will be intro-

SPORTS BRIEFS Logano wins at Pocono Joey Logano posted the second victory of his 125-race Sprint Cup career – and his first in a race that ran to its conclusion – June 10 in the Pocono 400 at Pocono International Raceway.

Logano led qualifying then led 48 of the 160 laps, the most of any driver. He caught veteran Mark Martin late in the race and Martin finished second.

Martin took the lead during a restart on Lap 152, but Logano regained it coming out of turn one on Lap 155.

Tony Stewart was third, followed by Jimmie Johnson and Denny Hamlin.

Yankees, division rivals rolling The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees are in a tight race in the International League’s toughest division.

Four of the top six teams in the IL are in the North Division. The Yankees took a 37-29 record into Thursday night, June 14, leaving them in a pack of three teams, joining the Lehigh Valley IronPigs and Buffalo Bisons in pursuit of the league-leading Pawtucket Red Sox. All fourth North contenders had winning records over the last 10 games and were coming off wins as they started new series Thursday.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre was 7-2 in its last nine games entering a four-game series with Syracuse that concludes today.

Spangenberg an all-star Cory Spangenberg, a 2011 first-round draft pick of the San Diego Padres, was selected to play in the California League All-Star Game.

The Lake Elsinore second baseman is an Abington Heights graduate in his second year of professional baseball.

Spangenberg was tied for second in the California League in triples with six and tied for fourth in stolen bases with 20. He also hit his first home run of the season this week.

Haduck cited for academics Riverside graduate Morgann Haduck, a freshman women’s basketball player at Marywood University, was selected to the Colonial States Athletic Conference All-Academic team for winter and spring sports.

Lackawanna pitchers honored Lackawanna College pitchers Chris Kirsch and Tyler Buckley received junior college Division II All-American honors.

Kirsch was a first-team choice. Buckley, a Scranton High School graduate, made the third team.
