What: Scranton Shakespeare Festival presents “Midsummer Night’s Dream,” When: Saturday and Sunday, June 30 and July 1 at 6 p.m. Where: Nay Aug Park Info: https://www.facebook.com/ ScrantonShakespeareFestival or call 614.3313 Cost: Free

Bringing Shakespeare to EVERYONE DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@golackawanna.com

ll traditions have their beginnings, and a group of actors is hoping that this weekend will be the start of one in Scranton. The REV Theatre Company’s production of “Midsummer Night’s Dream,” scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, June 30 and July 1, at 6 p.m. at Nay Aug Park, will serve as the inaugural Scranton Shakespeare Festival. The production is the first of

hopefully many. “There is a longstanding theatrical history in Scranton that is no more,” said Rudy Caporaso who plays Puck in “Midsummer Night’s Dream” and serves as co-artistic director. “A mission of ours…is to help create a renaissance of that.” “There’s no earthly reason that we can’t help to bring some of that back here, get some of that theater pride back.” Caporaso is a co-founder of the REV Theatre Company, along with “Midsummer Night’s Dream” director and co-artistic director Rosey Hay. The theater company is based in New York and has put on various incarnations of this production in several areas, including Binghamton, N.Y., New York City, Connecticut, and Philadelphia.

West Scranton native and University of Scranton graduate Michael Bradshaw Flynn met Hay and Caporaso when they came to do some work at the University of Scranton. He was later cast in REV’s Binghamton, N.Y. production of “Hamlet.” It was during that production that the idea for the Scranton Shakespeare Festival was born, with the three serving as co-founders. “I had always wanted to eventually do summer stock here… and we were throwing different ideas around, and then I remember seeing pictures of their production of ‘Midsummer’ that they did in Binghamton, and I remember thinking it would be very well received here,” said Flynn. Once a decision was made, Flynn began the process of bringing the production to the area.

He formed a committee made up of himself, Laurie Cadden, Michele Conaboy, who is also the play’s musical director and is a member of the cast, Suzanne Conaboy, Helene Runco, Tim and Gretchen Welby. The committee helped get the word out about the play, and was able to raise funds through donations and grants from a number of sources, including the Lackawanna County Arts Council and The Scranton Area Foundation, as well as numerous members of the community who donated what they could. In addition to monetary donations, members of the community have been donating themselves in other ways. The University of Scranton has offered rehearsal space and is housing some of the actors who are in from out of town, See SHAKESPEARE, Page 8

EDITOR’S NOTE Riverside’s Salutatorian Rebecca Ann Mekilo’s name was regretfully not included in Riverside High School’s graduation coverage, which ran in the June 10 issue of Go Lackawanna. The June 17 issue of Go

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH HONORED

Lackawanna mistakenly said that the Junior Penguins donated a memorial tree to the Riverside School District. The Junior Penguins Limited Midget team’s players and parents are donating the tree.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR I watched the recent Commissioner’s meeting and I liked the idea that Commissioner Patrick O’Malley had (that) employees that work for the county should live in the county. As a resident of Lackawanna County, I feel the people that work for the county should be residents/property owners that know our hardships and our needs. To have employees hired that don’t live in the county, have no vested interest in our county. They take their check and spend it in their own county. Why should our tax dollars be taken out of our county and spent in other counties ? I would like to see these

tax dollars to be used in our area and not to be spent out of the area. I wish for these dollars to be recycled in our Lackawanna County. I think this is something that should be looked into. Give the non-resident employees of the county a certain time frame to move in and be part of our tax base. This will have a trickle down effect to all the businesses and economy of our county. I hope Commissioners Patrick O’Malley, Jim Wansacz and Corey O’Brien take that initiative to look into this. Thank you John Evans Taylor, Pa.

Doherty sues council over Recovery Plan

RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com

SCRANTON – Mayor Chris Doherty filed a lawsuit in the Lackawanna County Court of Common Pleas on June 21 against the City Council “supermajority” for refusing to place the Revised Recovery Plan on the agenda over the last several weeks. The lawsuit explains that in order for the city to secure $9,850,000 in unfunded borrowing from M&T Bank, a mandatory contingency on approval of the loan is the passage of a Revised Recovery Plan, an update of the city’s 2002 revision after first entering distressed status in 1992. Submitted to council on May 24, the mandates in the mayor’s plan include an increase in real estate tax millage rates by 29 percent in 2013, 20 percent in 2014, and 15 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 acrossthe-board salary cuts. Doherty said in a phone interview on June 22 that he feels a lawsuit is the only option left to force council’s four-member “supermajority” of President Janet Evans, Vice President Frank Joyce, Pat Rogan, and Jack Loscombe to pass a revised plan. The suit excludes Councilman Bob McGoff, as he was the lone dissenting vote against council’s 2012 budget and the override of the mayor’s veto. McGoff made a motion on June 7 to add the mayor’s plan to council’s agenda for a vote, but was outvoted. “It is the only option because obviously we’re very low on funds. I’ve already paid $35 million in bills this year. Our budget is $71 million, so you basically have $36 million left of projected revenues coming in. $16 million of that is their hole in the budget, their borrowing,” Doherty said. “I proposed a tax increase (in the 2012 budget) and they rejected those ideas and they depend-

Mayor Chris Doherty filed a lawsuit against members of Scranton City Council for refusing to place the Revised Recovery Plan on the agenda over the last several weeks.

ed on borrowing (in their budget). The banks said they want a plan to make sure they get paid back and they have been unwilling to do it. I actually sent them a plan myself and they rejected it. If they have a plan that a bank will give us the money, I’ll sign it.” The lawsuit says that as a direct result of this loss of funding, overdue bills are owed to Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Northeastern Pennsylvania; Dunmore Oil Company; Keystone Sanitary Landfill, Inc.; and Pennsylvania American Water Company, affecting the operations of all city departments, including police and fire headquarters. “This is about public safety now because it costs $60,000 a week to dump the garbage – that’s our tipping fee at the landfill. It’s about $40,000 a week for gas a diesel. Our payroll is a million dollars every two weeks on average. Blue Cross is $1.4 million every month,” Doherty said. “We have to pick up the garbage…The fire trucks have to show up. Council put this budget together. I sent them a budget. They said, ‘We have a better idea, citizens of Scranton. We’re not going to raise your taxes. We’re going to borrow, and that’s how we’re going to take care of you for

the next year.’ And they have to follow through on that commitment.” During the June 22 council meeting, the “supermajority” responded to the lawsuit. “It’s really a sign that the mayor is desperate… He was always planning on being out of (office) before the house of cards collapsed, and it’s starting to collapse now. It’s not because of this council. It’s because of the last 15 years of councils. It’s because of the mayor,” Rogan said. “I do not support the mayor’s plan for a second because of the tax increase. That being said, I do think that all five members of council and the mayor and any other interested parties, whether it be the unions, whether it be PEL, whether it be DCED, sit down and negotiate. If the mayor is not willing to negotiate in good faith, which may very well be the case, then it’s on him.” Evans said that despite meeting with the mayor for months to work on the plan, the final document did not include council’s suggestions, including the reclassification of the city from Class 2A city to a Third Class city, consideration of the Scranton Parking Authority’s financial insolvency, council’s opposition of the

sale of the city’s parking meters, and the failure to include 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 over $30 million in collective bargaining awards. “It has come to council’s attention that the mayor’s Revised Recovery Plan is flawed,” Evans said. “Since the mayor has refused the bulk of council’s recommendations, it behooves (the Pennsylvania Economy League) and (the Department of Community and Economic Development) to amend the significant flaws in the mayor’s plan…His proposed tax increases will crucify taxpayers and destroy our city neighborhoods.” She added that council was invited to a mediation session with DCED and the mayor, but she felt that all parties should meet publicly in Council Chambers, an offer that was turned down. Doherty feels the entire conflict could have been avoided if council had passed his version of the 2012 budget, which would have raised property taxes by 29.1 percent, but council decreased

that number to 4.8 percent. “If they didn’t want to do a plan, they should have just passed my increase. We wouldn’t be having this discussion. If they went with my budget the last two years, we would have $7 million of additional money and we wouldn’t have any problems. The banks would have full confidence in us because they would see a revenue stream,” Doherty commented, adding that chose to borrow money. “A budget is not a snapshot in time. It is a blueprint and a living document for a year…Council passed their own financial blueprint and now they won’t follow it by not funding it.” Loscombe said he found out that they were being sued through the media, not through the mayor, which he viewed as a sign of disrespect. “As far as the lawsuit goes, I’m looking forward to standing up for you in court and letting them know the truth,” Loscombe told the public during council’s June 21 meeting. “(The mayor and council) did have communication going for several weeks there, but I think as Mrs. Evans said, it’s the same old, same old. You walk out of there, you’re discussing something, you think you’re getting somewhere, you think you’ve worked a deal out, and you walk away and boom, you’re stabbed in the back.” The mayor also sued the “supermajority” in early 2010 when they attempted to trim the 2010 budget by $694,986 after it had already been adopted by the previous council majority. Presiding Judge Robert Mazzoni ultimately ruled in favor of the mayor, blocking council’s actions. “It’s not about City Council and the mayor sitting down and getting along or coming up with a Recovery Plan. It’s about a plan that the banks approve because the banks are the ones giving us the money…This $16 million is paid back over 10 years. Well, they want to make sure that there’s a plan in place going ahead,” Doherty said. “I hope this forces the issue even more that they understand that we’re in a dire situation. It’s very simple to do the math…This is not about a political philosophy or anything else. This is about money getting repaid.”

Lawsuit creates obstacle in repaving road DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@golackwanna.com

OLD FORGE- Guy DiAndriole asked the Old Forge Borough Council what the status was on the borough repaving Edgewood Drive in the Rosemount Estates development during its regular meeting on Tuesday, June 19. DiAndriole said the road has been in poor condition for over seven years and needs to be taken care of. “No matter what direction you go in you can not drive on that road,” said DiAndriole. “Pave the road, that’s all everybody wants. Why has it dragged on this long?” “I think everyone here would like to do something about the road, but I remind you we’re being sued,” said Council President Brian Rinaldi. Council explained that a lawsuit filed by the Homeowners Association against the Old Forge Borough has complicated repaving Edgewood Drive. Borough solicitor William Rinaldi declined to go into detail about the lawsuit after the meeting, but during the meeting said that “the last I head they wanted all the roads ripped up… (and) repaved.” If the borough were to repave Edgewood Drive there is no guarantee that the law suit would be dropped. “How can we do that? How can we go in there and just go over the top nice, make it a nice level surface, and then continue to be sued, end up losing in court?” said Brian Rinaldi. “(Then) we have to rip up what we did for you and redo the roads again. How can we take that chance?” DiAndriole recommended the council have a meeting with the members of the community involved in the lawsuit and ask them if they would drop the lawsuit if the one road was repaved. Solicitor Rinaldi said council would be allowed to discuss the matter, but no formal decision to hold a meeting has been made. In other business, Old Forge Borough Council voted in favor of lowering sewer fees from $25 a quarter, $100 a year to $10 a quarter, $40 a year. Council recommended that individuals with delinquent sewer fees to pay them as soon as possible.

Council approves FEMA grant RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com

SCRANTON – City Council voted unanimously to accept a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to restore firefighter positions laid off over the past year on June 21, but expressed disappointment that the amount of the grant was reduced by Mayor Chris Doherty. The city applied for and received $8,175,860, which could have rehired up to 32 firefighters and filled 18 positions reduced through attrition, but that amount was reduced to $5,068,080 to fund salaries and benefits for just 30 positions, including 13 recently recalled positions and the remaining 17 currently laid off. “I’ll bring back every firefighter we laid off, but I’m not in a position to hire an additional 20 firemen. Now, for the next two years, it wouldn’t cost me anything, but that third year, the city would have to cover that cost, so I’d be paying about $1.5 million, $1.6 million of additional costs. It’s wrong of me to do that,” Doherty explained in a June 22 phone interview. “It’s what has been done in the past. Let’s take these free things now and let somebody else pay for it, and I’m not going to do that…You have to do what’s fiscally responsible.” According to letter correspondence between the city and FEMA, the city would incur an additional hardship of 66 percent of the salaries for one year if they could not afford to keep the 20 new hires on after the grant ran out. Applying for the grant on Feb. 24, the city laid off eight firefighters in August 2011 to save money and 29 more in January to balance the 2012 budget. After a series of fires throughout the city in March, 13 firefighters were rehired following criticism from the fire union and the public. Council unanimously moved the grant legislation to sixth and seventh order on Thursday to pass the money through as quickly as possible, but was frustrated that the full amount of the grant was not accepted. “This is a done deal, and it happened, basically, without the approval or the input of Scranton

City Council. I’m sure that council would have notified these (federal) departments that it felt strongly that we should be accepting the greatest number and the greatest dollar amount possible,” Council President Janet Evans said. “I am very appalled by the fact that the mayor is returning some of the money that could have been used to put more firefighters back on the job. As we know, we could have applied for this (again) in two years and, in addition to that, there are many people eligible to retire, which could have saved on unemployment costs, but we have what we have right now,” Council Vice President Frank Joyce added. Councilman Pat Rogan said that Doherty has had “this grudge against the public safety unions since day one,” and Councilman Jack Loscombe agreed that this was another example of the mayor not being able to work with and negotiate with the public safety unions. “I think it’s a slap in the face to everyone in the city, to compromise public safety,” Loscombe commented. “The only reason I’ll be voting for it is so we can get this money here before the mayor decides to send the rest of it back…He’ll take any grant for a park that he can’t maintain, but he’ll turn away money to provide safety which your tax dollars are paying for.” IAFF Local 60 President John

Judge IV said the union’s working relationship with the mayor has improved since January, but they were unable to convince Doherty to keep the other $3.1 million. “I think it’s an absolutely ridiculous move on the city’s part to turn back that money. It’s free money, no strings attached,” Judge said. “It’s further mismanagement of the city.” Judge refuted the administration’s numbers of over $1 million in additional costs after the grant’s expiration. “They wouldn’t have to pay the pension. They wouldn’t have to pay the health care, which is a big part of that cost,” he said. “They can always reapply. They could have gotten those positions again in two years when their term expired. They could have continued with that grant. It would have cost pennies on the dollar even if they had to pay that workers’ unemployment compensation.” Judge feels that the Hill Section and Keyser Valley/West Side will be most affected by the lack of 20 additional employees. “The requirements of the grant make the city put four firefighters on every piece of equipment, so the firefighters that are being called back from laid off status will actually fill the current companies that are open as the fourth men. We will continue to experience brownouts over in the central city area, the Tripp

Park area, and the Keyser Valley/West Side area…that we are experiencing now,” he continued. “Obviously, it won’t allow them to reopen the engine in the Hill Section, which if he had taken those additional bodies, it would have eliminated or severely reduced the brownouts in the city and may have allowed them to open up the engine in either Tripp Park that they permanently closed or the engine in the Hill Section that they had permanently closed.” U.S. Senator Bob Casey wrote a letter of support in March to FEMA regarding the grant and followed up with a call to FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate to stress the importance of adequately staffing the Scranton Fire Department. In a June 20 e-mail, Casey said that it is his job to fight for every possible resource to protect Pennsylvania communities and ensure that his constituents have a sense of security, which includes fighting for grants to help those communities staff their fire departments to maintain safety. “The city has to make those determinations,” Casey responded via e-mail regarding the reduction of the grant. “My job is to do whatever I can to get federal dollars that will help us give people a sense of security and just get as much help as we can for our firefighters.”

Starting a new chapter DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@golackawanna.com

ost children dread going to the principal’s office, but last week it was the only place Kiera Evans and Izzie Larson wanted to be. The Whittier Elementary School students were two of many who stopped by Principal Ann McDonough’s office on the last day of school, Tuesday, June 19, looking to get one last hug goodbye. McDonough, who announced her retirement in March, said in the days leading up to the end of her 37-year career with the Scranton School District, there has been an overwhelming show of support from the students and faculty. “They’ve been unbelievable, they don’t want me to go,” said McDonough. A product of the Scranton School District herself, attending grades kindergarten through 12 in the district and graduating from West Scranton High School, McDonough began her career as a teacher. She taught pre-school at Hamilton Elementary School her first year, and Audubon Elementary her second. She became an appointed teacher the following year, and taught at Hamilton, Lincoln-Jackson and Jefferson elementary schools over the course of seven years. She was made acting principal of Lincoln-Jackson Elementary School in September of 1985 and was then appointed as principal in February of 1986. “I love teaching, absolutely, but as a principal you have an opportunity to impact all of the kids,” said McDonough. “I’ve been so blessed to have so many special moments, but most importantly is to see former students. They come back and tell me what they’re doing and how successful they are.” One of McDonough’s success stories, Isaac Tripp Elementary School fifth-grade teacher Jennifer Zaleski, had the unique experience of working for McDonough after being a student at LincolnJackson. “It was a wonderful experience, (she’s) very hands-on, always there to help you,” said Zaleski.

Zaleski said a prime example of McDonough’s hands-on approach was when students from the Pocono Mountain School District, who were involved in a pen pal program with Lincoln-Jackson students, came to visit the school in West Scranton. McDonough fired up the grill and made hamburgers and hot dogs for all the students. “She was there all afternoon in her apron flipping burgers,” said Zaleski. “She was all about being a team player.” The site of McDonough pitching in and helping out was nothing new to the students. Zaleski said McDonough made it a point

to be at as many activities for the students as possible, even after they left the school.” “She still goes to West Scranton High School’s graduation to see former students (graduate),” said Zaleski.” “She gives the students a sense that they matter to her.” Zaleski worked under McDonough for eight years, until Lincoln-Jackson was closed in 2010 and she was transferred to Isaac Tripp Elementary, and McDonough was transferred to Whittier Elementary School. Switching to Whittier, which currently has an enrollment of over 400 students, from LincolnSee CHAPTER, Page 8

SHAKESPEARE Continued from page 3

local restaurants have offered the actors free meals and some residents have even gone shopping for the group. “The community has been phenomenal…it makes me emotional, because they’re so incredibly generous and forthcoming. They are cooking and bringing food and donating of themselves in terms of necessary production value stuff that we need,” said Caporaso. The group’s repayment to the community will be the free showing of “Midsummer Night’s Dream” on Saturday and Sunday. For any Shakespeare buffs who might be wondering, the “A” missing from the title wasn’t a mistake, it was eliminated by REV, and it’s one of several alterations the group has made to the production. “Our production is not your grandfather’s Shakespeare,” said Caporaso. “It’s very contemporary, very energetic, very athletic, very vibrant, there’s music, there’s song and dance in it.” The production offers an urban take on Shakespeare’s comedy, with the actors in modern dress, and the show features a number of contemporary songs, including “Mr. Sandman,” “Why Do Fools Fall in Love” and “Makin’ Whoopee.” The changes and additions have been made in an effort to make the play more appealing and accessible to a broader audience, but the one thing that hasn’t changed is story and the language of the play. “The story is still absolutely true, and our illustrious director Rosey Hay…she’s quiet skilled and adept, she’s worked with the (Royal Shakespeare Company), and she tells the story beautifully and crystal clearly,” said Caporaso. Flynn, who now resides in Hoboken, N.J., is serving as the play’s producer and is playing Nick Bottom in the show. He said the cast, which is made up of a mix of professional equity actors from out of town as well as local actors, has been blending together nicely. “To speak honestly, we had a readthrough, and usually you feel like there’s a weak link in the production, and I really have to say it was such a strong read-through…and I’m feeling pretty great about the talent and composition of actors and directors. I think it’s going to be a very strong production,” said Flynn.

Dancing the night away DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@golackawanna.com

n life, there are people who see a problem and do nothing and those who take action. Anissa Salerno is someone who has chosen the latter. The Old Forge resident put together “Not Your Average Tweens Dance,” a dance for children with special-needs in grades third through fifth, held on Wednesday, June 27, at the Keyser Valley Community Center. “There’s just no dances for the disabled kids,” said Salerno. “The Arc… puts on a dance, but they’re for older, mentally challenged people, and that’s kind of where I got the idea.” Salerno began investigating dances in late February, hoping to find one her 10year-old son Vito, who is developmentally delayed, could attend. After realizing there was a need for something like this, and deciding she was going to be the person to fill it, Salerno began planning the event in April. She credits being able to put the dance together so quickly to Suzy Lochie and Sally Calpin, who volunteered their time, and Dr. Nick Chiumento, who made a donation. Their help, along with a number of donations made by various groups, allowed Salerno to offer the dance free of charge to the students of several school districts, including Old Forge, Pittston, Riverside and Lake-

Jackson, which had an average enrollment between 245 and 280 students, was something of an adjustment for McDonough, but she was up for the challenge. “It was a big change, coming to a bigger building, a bigger staff, but I don’t think I did anything differently. My modus operandi was still the same, to be accessible. I didn’t change who I was just because I had larger numbers. I still wanted it…to have a family atmosphere,” said McDonough. Whittier was housed in Saint Mary’s for the first four months of the 2010-11 school year before moving to their current location on Orchard Street in Scranton

land. Salerno said originally she reached out to other school districts that were unable to participate due to various reasons. Even though they didn’t participate this year, she said she will be extending them an invitation again to a future dance. “We are hoping that this becomes yearly, so this way the kids have something to look

in January of 2011. After getting used to the new building, McDonough said retirement was not McDonough on her mind when school started this past fall. “I didn’t have any inclination I’d retire, but as the year went on, looking at where the district is, where I am in my life, what opportunities I had, a friend of mine opened her own travel agency and wanted me to work for her,” said McDonough. “I always said that I didn’t want to stay too long at the fair. And, I didn’t want to be burned out or (have people) say, ‘She shouldn’t be here, or she can’t do her job,’ so I wanted to go while I still love what I do and

forward to at the end of the year,” said Salerno. In addition to the dance at the end of the school year, Salerno said discussions have also begun to hold a dance at the beginning of the school year as well. Anyone interested in volunteering to help out with or attend a dance can call Salerno at 840.1289 for more information.

was still respected.” McDonough said she doesn’t consider this a retirement, but entering a new chapter of her life. She’s already taken a job with Thomas Tours, something she’s tried to explain to her students. “I had a little guy…gave me the biggest bear hug, and he said, ‘I don’t want you to go,’ and I said, ‘Well you know all those places that you read about in books? That’s what I’m going to be able to do now, I’m going to be able to travel and see those places. Don’t you want me to do that?’ and he said, ‘Only if I can come with you,’” said McDonough. In a way, McDonough will be taking that student with her as he and the district have become a part of her, and even though she will no longer be working there, she said she will still be a

part of the Scranton School District in one way or another. “I am so proud of being a student of the Scranton School District, a teacher in the Scranton School District, and an administer of the Scranton School District,” said McDonough. “I wish the television stations and radio stations and newspapers would be able to spend more times in our schools and see all of the great kids that we have and the talent and skills that we have and the wonderful staff. If they ever could go back and look at all the kids that have graduated from our school district and all the things they’ve done in their lives, from doctors to lawyers to dentists to teachers to principals to CEOs of companies, it’s just phenomenal. I’m blessed. I loved being a part of this school district, and I will always be an advocate.”

A one-man band

Taylor resident performs in piano competition RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com

henever Andrew Gallagher sees a piano, he immediately has to sit down and play it. It’s no wonder, then, that he was chosen as a finalist in the Junior Division of the 2012 Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic Piano Competition on Sunday, June 10 in the Sordoni High Definition Theater at the WVIA Studios in Pittston. The performances will be featured in a radio broadcast on WVIA FM on Sunday, June 24 at 2 p.m.

The 15-year-old Taylor resident, who will be going into tenth grade at Riverside Junior/Senior High School in the fall, was among the 11 finalists chosen from 27 original contestants, with five finalists in the Junior Division, grades seven through nine, and six finalists in the Senior Division, grades 10 through 12. “My parents said that I had to learn an instrument. They didn’t care what it was – it could be steel drums, bagpipes, piano, anything – and I chose piano as my first instrument,” Gallagher recalled. “I love playing piano. I love the fullness of being able to put on a concert without needing anyone else for background or anything like that. I can do everything myself.” Starting around nine years old, Gallagher has been playing the piano for over one-third of his life, performing at Carnegie Hall in New York City at 14, but he didn’t stop there – he took up percussion in fifth grade, played gui-

tar for a while, and also owns a trumpet, clarinet, flute, and ukulele. With influences ranging from Edvard Grieg to Billy Joel, he has also starting writing his own pieces and plans to put on a concert with music he composed as his Eagle project for Boy Scouts. “With all the stuff that I do, I don’t have much time to myself, so practicing can become a challenge to get time in,” he said. “I do a lot compared to most people. I do track and cross country, I do the three different bands. I took martial arts for a couple points. I do AV, which is sound and lighting for my school’s plays, and Boy Scouts.” His love of music, however, continues to drive him, so when he saw the competition advertised and his piano teacher asked if he would try out, he was ready with “March of the Dwarfs” by Grieg and “Etude Allegro” by Yoshinao Nakada. “With music, I’m used to playing in front of people because I’m in my school’s concert jazz and marching bands…I was more so nervous about what the judges would think rather than the audience,” Gallagher explained. “The ‘March of the Dwarfs’ was very technical. I had to move my hands and jump around a lot. It was extremely fast compared to other stuff that I’ve played.” The finalists performed their two selections before a panel of judges including Sister Joan

Paskert of the Marywood University music faculty, Eugene Albulescu of the Lehigh University music faculty, and Lawrence Loh of Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic. Gallagher made it to the final round and ended up one of the top five finishers. “I was happy that I got to the finals, but I didn’t win so I could have done better. I want to do it again when they have it again,” he said. “I’ll be in eleventh grade then, which will be the senior division, so it will be harder competition.” Already looking towards his future, Gallagher said he will probably minor in music to become a percussion instructor as a secondary profession, but his ultimate goal is to enter the medical field. “Since I’ve been little, I’ve always wanted to be a veterinarian or a doctor,” he shared. Other Junior Division performances featured on the special broadcast will be by Dominick Cristofori D’Alessandro of West Pittston, Marala Mackarey of South Abington Township, Kyler McAllister of Jefferson Township, and Sienna Marie Tabron of Wilkes-Barre. The Senior Division finalists will be showcased Sunday, July 1 at 2 p.m. WVIA FM can be found at 89.9 FM in northeast Pennsylvania, 90.3 FM in Clarks Summit, and can also be heard via an online stream at http:// www.wvia.org/radio/listen-live.

Children taken out of parents’ custody

Taylor Borough Police were forced to take two children out of their parents’ custody after the parents were arrested on June 19. Police were called to 119 Storrs St., Taylor on a reported domestic disturbance on Tuesday morning. According to the police criminal complaint, police encountered Denise Tomasko, who appeared to be intoxicated at the home. Next door, police found Brent Fallon, who also appeared to be intoxicated. According to the complaint, Fallon started a fight with Tomasko, because Tomasko was using heroin Tuesday morning and did not feed their 6- and 4 –year-old daughters. Tomasko claims that during the fight Fallon threw a phone at her left ear. Tomasko admitted that she and Fallon had used heroin and oxycontin over the last few days. She also admitted that on Tuesday she took soboxone, which she has a prescription for.

With permission, police proceeded to search the house. According to the complaint, during the search officers located both new and used hypodermic needles, metal spoons with controlled substance residue, a glassine packet and an unidentified white pill. While searching Fallon, Chief Leonard Mickavicz found a bottle of clonazepan, which were prescribed to Fallon, and eight xanax tablets, which Fallon said belong to a friend. Tomasko is being charged with endangering the welfare of children and possession of drug paraphernalia. Fallon is being charged with endangering the welfare of children, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance. Fallon and Tomasko’s two daughters were placed into protective custody and turned over to Lackawanna County Children and Youth Services. -Don McGlynn

Welcoming the next generation of railroad preservationists 2012 RailCamp at Steamtown Historic Site

Andrew Torba, center, a philosophy major with minors in entrepreneurship and political science, won the 10th Annual Great Valley Business Plan Competition (GVBPC) with his teammates Mike Toma, left, from Kings College and Charles Szymanski, right, from Drexel University. Their company, Kuhcoon LLC, an interactive social media management and growth service, is housed in the Scranton Enterprise Center. This year’s GVBPC awarded $100,000 in cash and in-kind support to two entrepreneurial teams. Those eligible to enter the competition include students from the region’s 14 colleges and universities along with non-collegiate entrepreneurs. Torba, a Moosic native, will graduate in 2013 from the University of Scranton. .

The National Railway Historical Society (NRHS), in partnership with the National Park Service at Steamtown National Historic Site (NHS), will conduct RailCamp 2012 from July 8 to 13. This program began in 1998 as a pilot project to create a forum where high school students could learn about the world of railroading, and share ideas and interests with peers from other areas of the United States. At Steamtown NHS, participants also have the opportunity to learn about the history, technology and people of the industry . RailCampers selected for participation in this year’s program will receive an introduction to the principles of historic preservation, gain first-hand experience in railroad operations and explore a variety of transportation career opportunities. While students explore a wide

variety of railroad and rail-related subjects during their stay in northeastern Pennsylvania, RailCamp also partners with Amtrak and the Canadian Pacific Railway to include day-trip visits to Amtrak’s Philadelphia and Bear, Del. facilities, and Canadian Pacific Railway’s Binghamton, N.Y. rail yards. Each year, counselors recruited from the ranks of the NRHS, an organization founded in 1935 and consisting of more than 13,000 members in 160 chapters throughout the United States, join National Park Service Rangers and volunteers to make RailCamp a fulfilling and rewarding experience. During the weeklong program, RailCamp counselors are available 24-hours a day to serve as instructors and mentors for the students. For more information, visit http://railcamp.com/program/ railcamp.

Geisinger board approves $125.7M upgrades for CMC When Geisinger and Community Medical Center agreed to an affiliation agreement last year, it came with the promise of a $160 million investment over the next seven years. On Thursday, June 21 the Geisinger Health System Foundation Board of Directors fulfilled the bulk of that pledge. Geisinger has approved $125.7 million in capital funding to enhance patient care in Lackawanna County. Included in the improvements are an $80 million facility expansion of Geisinger-Community Medical Center; $25.7 million to construct a new physician office building in Scranton, and a $20 million project that is already underway to upgrade the health system’s information technology unit. Now in the design phase, the $80 million facility expansion at Geisinger-Community Medical Center is scheduled to begin next spring and will include 13 operating suites, a new inten-

sive/critical care unit and medical office space. The majority of the Community Medical Center campus, including the operating rooms and intensive care unit, was built in 1967, with facility additions in 1990 and 2005. In addition to the enhancements on the Geisinger Community Medical Center campus at Mulberry Street and Colfax Avenue, Geisinger is also moving forward with a new $25.7 million Physician Office Building to replace the health system’s current community practice facility along Route 307 at Lake Scranton. The new site is located at the Mount Pleasant Corporate Center near Scranton High School. When completed in May of 2014, it will be home to Geisinger primary care, pediatric subspecialties, gynecology and other selected specialty outreach. The $20 million information technology upgrade – which includes Geisinger’s electronic health information technology – is already in progress.

How to stay fit on budget

t seems that every three out of five people that I know are on some sort of diet or follow a fitness plan. From expensive shakes to underused gym memberships, people are paying a crazy amount of money to get a beach body for the summer. It’s not rocket science that getting fit requires some sort of exercise.

Make sure to research gym memberships and compare the monthly cost for each family member. Most gyms offer a free trial period to test everything out, whether it is three days or 30 days make sure you try before you buy. It’s important to take all membership benefits into consideration before making a one year commitment. Ask if there are any fees for canceling membership early or freezing membership. Baby sitting service is a must for me, but some gyms charge extra or charge a daily fee to use this benefit. Hours of operation and schedule of classes are also important. Join with a friend in order to take advantage of special deals and to keep each other motivated to get the most out of a membership. Most people think that Planet Fitness offers the best deal for a gym; however, for me it doesn’t offer any of the membership benefits like exercise classes or babysitting services. Subscribe to discounted fitness magazines. Check sites like DiscountedMags.com for deals less than $4 a year for fitness magazines. These magazines will help keep you motivated, provide work out tips, low calorie food recipes and even detailed home workouts can be fun to read. Find the best deals on fitness apparel by using coupons and browsing discount racks. I tend to find the best sneaker deals on clearance since most of the styles are just outdated or the sporting goods store is just looking to make room for new styles.

DEAL DETECTIVE JENNA URBAN Don’t be afraid to purchase fitness apparel at Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club, or Target. Not only can you find some great deals, but the quality of the items are similar to brand name clothing they just don’t have a brand name logo on the product. Working out at home can save you a ton of money. Check your on-demand stations or try to DVR exercise programs. Look to rent fitness DVDs from the library or purchase them online from Amazon.com, which sells discounted, used DVDs and games. If you own a gaming system, look to buy games that allow you to work out to Zumba or dance party type themes. Most gaming systems offer a variety of work out games that are fun and inexpensive. Don’t rush out and buy expensive exercise equipment that will someday act as storage for clothing. For a successful workout at home, purchase light weights and an exercise ball. One of my favorite workout videos is the Jillian Michaels’ “30 Day Shred,” because they’re quick 30 minute workouts and there’s low overhead on equipment. Last time that I checked, walking was free. Try to go for a 30 minute walk every day or at least four times a week. Research shows that brisk walking for 10 minutes, three times a day can be as beneficial as walking 30 minutes. There are times that I plan my walk around errands like going to the post office, mini trips to the drugstore or taking the kids to the park. Staying fit doesn’t have to break the bank. It’s important to know in advance how much money you can dedicate a year to fitness and plan activities and goals around that budget. There are ways to be successful with all types of budgets, just find the one that works for you. Do you have a fitness tip that saves you money? Share it with us at facebook.com/golackawanna

Airing local dirty

LAUNDRY Scranton StorySlam brings local celebrities on stage By RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com

Everyone has some “dirty laundry” in their hamper, but not everyone is brave enough to air it out in front a crowd. But, for the sake of entertainment and good old-fashioned storytelling, Abington Heights High School rising senior Zoe McNichols and her mother, Pamela McNichols, have gathered a group of local celebrities to do just that for the second Scranton StorySlam, where they will share a true, personal, five-minute story without notes inspired by the theme “Dirty Laundry.” The first, held at the former Vintage Theater in Scranton in March, was organized by Zoe as her senior project with the help of Maureen McGuigan, the Lackawanna County Deputy Director for Arts and Culture. She was inspired by a storyslam in Brooklyn, N.Y. produced by The Moth, an organization that conducts live storytelling events, and IF YOU GO decided that Scranton What: Scranton would be the next among StorySlam many other major cities Where: The Banshee, to adopt the events. 320 Penn Ave., “It was such a big sucScranton cess.

When ryslam.com Zoe did it as a senior project the first time, we anticipated that it would get a warm reception here in Scranton. Ideally, we wanted it to be something that was ongoing like it is in other cities,” Pamela McNichols explained. “We had no idea what we would get, and we never expected such a great turnout.” Following that success, the second is scheduled for Saturday, June 30 at The Banshee, 320 Penn Ave., Scranton, a venue that will not only be more comfortable, but allow the storyslams to grow. “The Banshee is much larger and can handle a lot more people…They serve food and have over 50 craft beers on tap, so I think people will be happy. And they’re willing to do an all-ages show, so we can continue to include the teens. At the last event we had kids all the way up to people in their 70s. It was a wide audience,” she said. “We always pick a general theme just to tie the See LAUNDRY, Page 22

it’s different than reading a story. There’s a spontaneity to it. People just have a really good time, and I like that it’s like a literary event that people are excited about.

Art Matin, CEO of Mandalay Baseball and acting general manager of the SWB Yankees, LLC, said in a press release that the team is seeking help in determining a new name. “We want people throughout NEPA and surrounding areas to help rename your hometown baseball team,” Matin said. Fans can enter their choice for the team name at swbyankees.com. Entry forms will also be available at the team’s temporary front office location at 50 Glenmaura National Blvd., Suite 101, Moosic. The winning submission will receive a prize package that includes two season tickets for 2013. Six finalists will be selected and announced in early June.

TITLE IX 40TH ANNIVERSARY

Sunday, June 24, 2012

SIGNS OF THE TIMES

By TOM ROBINSON For Go Lackawanna

he signs along Keyser Avenue welcome drivers from Scranton into Taylor by celebrating the Riverside School District’s state champions. The unbeaten 1986-87 Lady Vikes basketball team is recognized on one sign. Heidi Wolfsberger’s 1998 title in the 3200-meter run is remembered on the other. The two state titles, which each came in Class AA, are signs of how things have changed since 1972. Title IX celebrated its 40th anniversary Saturday.

Prior to Title IX, the Lady Vikes basketball players and Wolfsberger could not have won state championships. They did not exist for girls in Pennsylvania. Title IX, which was part of the Education Amendments to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, made it illegal for schools receiving federal financial assistance to discriminate, on the basis of sex, in any education program or activity. As a legal requirement and moral obligation, Title IX was not about the state titles. It was about the chance to participate in and the residual opportunities that often evolved from sports and the pursuit of state titles. With the help of alterations that were made in the years after it was passed, Title IX covered recruitment, admissions, financial aid, facilities, housing, course offerings and access to programs and activities that included sports. Sports have often been at the forefront of the debates that surrounded Title IX and the visible changes that have resulted.

GO LACKAWANNA/JASON RIEDMILLER

Riverside School District’s state champions are still being celebrated with two signs along Keyser Avenue in Taylor.

Tom Nageli, who coached Riverside to the state basketball title and another championship game appearance, noticed how much more acceptable it became for younger girls to be playing basketball once the high school girls found success. Nageli’s first team included freshman Paula Oleksy, an eventual 2,000-point scorer, and a talented sophomore class. “A lot of the younger kids started looking up to them and coming to the games,” said Nageli, who took over for the 1978-79 season. “Before I took over, I never noticed girls playing basketball on the corners or in the parks. “Then, there seemed to be more and more girls playing and

even girls playing against boys and it kept getting better.” Nageli found a group of young women eager to learn all they could about the game. The quality of basketball being played rose quickly with Riverside leading the way to the development of a strong Lackawanna League. “Our girls could really shoot the ball,” Nageli said. “The only thing that might have been a little different was the physicality of the game, but as far as passing, dribbling, shooting, we had the same skills as the boys and I really felt as people came to realize this, that is what made girls basketball really start to take off.” Oleksy moved on to a successful career at Mansfield University

and the Lady Vikes built their state title run around a new group. Senior captains Mary Lisowski, Lisa Sporer and Jennifer Oustrich went on to Division I, II and III college careers respectively. “We had girls get their educations paid for because of basketball,” Nageli said. Some of the top players kept contact with the game by coaching on different levels when their playing days were done. Heidi Wolfsberger Peoples did the same. She returned to teach at Riverside, coached in the successful Marywood University cross country program and kept her running career going. A six-time district champion in track and field, Peoples went on

to win Division III All-American honors 11 times at Moravian University between cross country, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field. She won a national indoor 1,500-meter title and was a two-time national cross country runner-up. Peoples has since become one of the nation’s top female road racers, winning two Steamtown titles and finishing 29th among women at the Boston Marathon. In addition to the state championships produced at Riverside, the Old Forge girls have had a history of success in basketball and softball on the Class A levels. The Lady Devils reached the 2009 state softball final where they lost to Curwensville, 1-0.

“The only thing that might have been a little different was the physicality of the game, but as far as passing, dribbling, shooting, we had the same skills as the boys and I really felt as people came to realize this, that is what made girls basketball really start to take off.” — Tom Nageli

TITLE IX 40TH ANNIVERSARY

GOLackawanna

40 years of change in sports By TOM ROBINSON For Go Lackawanna

itle IX did its best to guarantee opportunity. It could not guarantee acceptance. One of the most significant steps in the women’s rights movements took place 40 years ago this weekend. Congress passed Title IX of the Education Amendments to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 on June 23, 1972.

“Sports” are not specifically mentioned in the wording of Title IX. Equal access to all educational programs was the key. Athletic programs were part of the educational experience and after 1972 it was no longer legal to limit the number of available programs and the chance to obtain athletic scholarships to male athletes only. “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation under any educational programs or activity receiving federal financial assistance,” according to Title IX. Public schools had to show they were progressing toward gender equity in the sports they offered. The progress sometimes moved slowly but it was guaranteed to happen unless schools wanted to risk the loss of funding and potential lawsuits. Title IX could create opportunities for Michele Symosh Long, but she soon found out acceptance would take longer. Long was on the first high school girls’ basketball and softball teams at Old Forge. When the current principal of All Saints Academy in West Scranton became the school’s first female 1,000point scorer in basketball, there were some who saw the accomplishment as meaningless. “Back in the day 40 years ago, you were trying to prove yourself to the male athlete,” Long said. Long found this was true of faculty members as well as fellow students. “I can remember vividly when I scored my 1,000th point, they put a showcase up in the lobby,” she

said. “There was a male coach who wanted to know what was going on and said this was utterly ridiculous. “You had to fight for everything.” Long’s accomplishment received better treatment beginning in February. Banners recognizing all of the school’s 1,000-point scorers, girls and boys, were raised at the gym in the culmination of the senior project for Michael Long, a 2011 graduate and Michele’s son. The imbalance remains with female sports lacking an alternative to match football in profile and participation. Otherwise, girls and boys sports are very close to equal in participation, following and financing in high school and the women’s sports continue to gain on their men’s

counterparts on the college level. Title IX improved access to higher education, financial aid and housing for female students often with the help of its profound impact on athletics. It was the action responsible for removing barriers to courses like criminal justice and industrial arts for female students as well as allowing male students to take home economics. Before Title IX, only four Lackawanna County public schools participated in a girls basketball league and that was just getting started. The other schools that had teams often conducted them on an informal basis with once-aweek practices, no junior varsity and just a handful of games, often played as a prelim to a boys game. The Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association was

not yet conducting girls state championships. On the national level, about one in 27 high school girls – fewer than 300,000 total—were involved in sports, according to the Associated Press. Less than 32,000 played sports in college and the National Collegiate Athletic Association ignored many of them, leaving it up to the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women to produce the biggest events. Less than two years later, high school sports participation by girls had more than quadrupled to 1.3 million. Resistance remained, leading to the Department of Health, Education and Welfare being assigned the task of developing the guidelines for how changes would be implemented and ad-

herence to Title IX would be assessed. Most of those regulations specifically addressed athletic programs. Long remembers being in a multi-purpose room to work on ball-handling skills only for practices in the early years because the boys had the gym – and the baskets – whether it was to prepare a varsity, junior varsity or junior high team. “We never could have the gym right after school, because the boys had to have it,” she said. Launching varsity basketball and softball teams had often been the starting point. Other options were being added to the mix. And, programs were growing to include junior varsity and junior high feeder programs, matching See CHANGE, Page 28

TITLE IX 40TH ANNIVERSARY

Title IX gave girls the chance they deserved

their male counterparts. Former Riverside girls basketball coach and athletic director Tom Nageli remembers the expansion of the number of programs and levels offered being an emphasis late in his career. Earlier, Nageli witnessed the growth in basketball while building District 2’s most successful girls program. Nageli recalls Riverside and Dunmore playing for the district title in his first season in 1979. The game was played at 10 in the morning in a virtually empty Scranton Catholic Youth Center. By the time the Lady Vikes made their first state championship game appearance in 1982, the road to Hershey included multiple busloads of fans following the Riverside girls. The Lady Vikes were unbeaten Class AA champions in 1986-87, by then outscoring and outdrawing the school’s successful boys team, at times. Riverside alone drew more than 1,000 fans for some of its biggest games. To the outsider, the Riverside girls had reached equality. At the time, however, the team locker room was a converted storage room more suited for its eventual use as an office. The girls were jammed into their little office while the boys had their own locker room. “That’s just the way it was,” said Jennifer Oustrich, one of the senior captains on the state championship team. “They didn’t have locker rooms and things like that for the girls. The girls kind of took a backseat, but I never saw it that way while I was at Riverside. “They treated us really well because we were so successful. Maybe if we weren’t winning, it would have been a little different.” During the era that the Lady Vikes excelled, there was an increase in lawsuits on the college level as women fought to make sure Title IX was being followed. Being an avid sports fan and reader of Sports Illustrated at the time, Oustrich said she was aware of the Title IX issues and would occasionally be mad about what she saw. The overall warm feelings toward the state champions, however, kept any ill feelings from becoming too strong.

GO LACKAWANNA/JASON RIEDMILLER

A banner in the Old Forge High School gym lists the players who reached the 1,000-point mark.

When fans – male and female alike – watched teams like the Lady Vikes play, the prejudices were slowly worn down. “Realistically, it was all about some male coaches who were chauvinists because they thought girls should be home cooking and cleaning not in the gym playing basketball,” said Long, who went on to play two years of softball at East Stroudsburg State. Such reactions are much less common as a result of the changes forced by Title IX. “I think it has become accepted that there are female athletes and there are good female athletes,” Long said. And there are millions of female athletes. More than three million high school girls – virtually one in two – participate in sports. There were another 191,000 playing NCAA sports during the 2010-11 college school year. “Title IX was the second-most important piece of civil rights legislation passed in this country,” North Carolina State athletic director Debbie Yow told The Associated Press. “Had it not passed, the options and opportunities for women in this country and the world would be vastly different.” The banner that is visible for all visitors to the Old Forge gym now proudly lists Michele Symosh first, displaying Symosh Long’s accomplishments along with the boys at the school and the other girls who followed her to the 1,000-point mark. “I think times have changed,” Long said. “I’m happy that the opportunities are there for the girls nowadays because they deserve it.”

Girls can play sports, too. It seems so obvious now that it can be difficult to believe that for much of the history of sports in the United States, the extent of participation by female athletes was restricted. Sometimes as a society, we need laws to force us to start doing what we eventually realize was the right thing all along. Forty years ago, before Title IX was passed June 23, 1972, the lack of opportunities restricted the impact girls made in their high schools and on their college campuses. It should not be seen as a coincidence that women earned only nine percent of all medical degrees and seven percent of all law degrees at the time. Title IX addressed equality in educational as a whole, but wound up having its most direct impact through sports. At various times in the past 15 years, I have asked successful active female athletes about their understanding of Title IX. Often, they are unsure of exactly what Title IX is. Those who lived through it or look back on it later in life have a greater understanding of what a large role the legislation plays in modern lives. We can expect our students to be appreciative of those who made their opportunities possible. At the same time, a case can be made that the lack of awareness comes from the fact that changes in the law have allowed us to live under standards that should have been in place all along. When Paula Wedlock Finn was helping West Scranton win the first two of its three Lackawanna League divisional girls titles in 1994 and 1995, she was not thinking that Title IX helped put a basketball in her

KEEPING SCORE

TOM ROBINSON hand. “It was something I was oblivious to at the time, until I got into college and then I (knew) a little bit about it," Finn said. "Starting off at a young age in sports, it was something that I didn’t realize because I grew up with two other sisters in sports and my father always instilled in us that we could do everything that boys could.” As a high school guidance counselor, and someone who helped advise student-athletes as they weighed scholarship offers, Finn has become much more aware. Older physical education teachers have told Finn about the days when they limited basketball for girls to half-court specialists with no one running up and down the floor. “When you talk to the generation now about the inequality prior to Title IX, they look at you like you’re crazy,” said Finn, a Windsor, N.Y. resident who has taken a break from her guidance counselor duties at Union-Endicott High School while she has young children at home. “They don’t really have any knowledge of that because it was so before their time. “I think in a way that’s a positive because we’ve come such a long way since Title IX. “Even from when I was in high school in 1995, it seems like there are so many more female athletes getting college scholarships.” Finn was a four-year starter at West Scranton where she was captain of the championship team her senior year. Her basketball skills helped open up college options and she went on to St. John Fisher in Rochester, N.Y. where she was again a four-year starter and played in three NCAA Division III tournaments.

From her current perspective, she knows sports contributed to her college and career paths. “It opens so many possibilities for women and for girls to be able to participate in sports to be able to have the same opportunities that boys do,” Finn said. “If you look at the research, we know that playing sports and being involved in sports is such a positive for so many kids.” Jennifer Oustrich, who grew up playing sports with her older cousins and brothers, has enjoyed many of those positives that sports can offer. Oustrich went from being one of the captains of Riverside’s 1987 state championship basketball team to getting a chance to observe the formation of the Women’s National Basketball Association as a student at the University of Utah in 1996. While she missed out on the evolution of Pennsylvania girls basketball in the 1970s, Oustrich appreciated getting to witness the creation of the most successful women’s professional basketball league. The Utah Starzz were one of the original eight WNBA franchises in 1997 and played in Salt Lake City until 2003. “We got to see the coaches and talk about Title IX,” said Oustrich, who lives in Taylor and works at the Tobyhanna Army Depot. “We got to see how things were prepared. They really put a lot of time and energy into getting the WNBA team off the ground in Utah. “ … It was a fun time to be taking that class knowing that all that was in the works and the WNBA was going to be a realization.” The WNBA, which is in its 16th season, was another step in showing that female athletes can compete on all level of sports. All they ever needed was someone to make it possible.
