SCRANTON CITY COUNCIL
Council passes agreements, overrides UDAG veto SPORTS
By RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com
SCRANTON – City Council approved final passage of several important pieces of legislation on Tuesday, including two that will continue to put them at odds with city administration. Following a public hearing on the matter before the regular meeting, council established new rules and regulations for the West Scranton Skate Park, which is currently maintained by the Hyde Park Neighborhood watch and surrounding neighbors in West Scranton. After holding a public caucus with Northeast Revenue Service LLC last week to answer council’s questions about the WilkesBarre company’s collection methods, council passed an amended contract with NCC on Tuesday to collect the city’s de-
linquent real estate taxes from 2004 through 2010 with a 4-1 vote. Council Vice President Pat Rogan dissented. It is a two-year contract with the option of a one-year renewal. “We hammered out a contract that helps the city with its debt and current deficit and makes payments of tax delinquencies more fair, affordable, efficient and accountable,” Council President Janet Evans said. Next, council unanimously passed an amended list of authorized towing companies for the city and an establishment of rules, qualifications and standards to be followed by the companies as well as fines and penalties for towing and fees. Councilman Jack Loscombe said the city will receive more revenue under council’s amendments and provide a more fair
process for towing companies by separating authorized towers, salvage towers and heavy duty towers on separate lists and adjusting the tower’s fees accordingly. Councilman Bob McGoff said that towers he spoke to felt the changes were “legitimate and acceptable.” Then council unanimously overrode Mayor Chris Doherty’s veto of legislation drafted by council solicitor Boyd Hughes to transfer funds from the Urban Development Action Grant second repayment account to another account to pay for lifeguards and the purchase of pool chemicals and supplies so that the Novembrino pool could be reopened. In a letter addressed to City Clerk Nancy Krake, the mayor said that council violated the Home Rule Charter and Ad-
ministrative Code by not discussing changes with him first. He wrote that council “illegally and improperly attempted to create” a special city account to deposit the UDAG repayments and that use of UDAG funds “falls completely” under his discretion, adding that the Department of Housing and Urban Development does not allow these funds to be used for those items. “He fails to provide any citations to support his reasons for veto,” Evans responded, addressing what she felt were the mayor’s “inaccuracies.” She said a special city account was established, as evidenced by vouchers from the city controller. The city’s Office of Economic and Community Development has no legislative au-
thority over council and there is no documentation to prove that See COUNCIL, Page 5

We’ve made tremendous strides in Jermyn.” During his term as mayor, Smallacombe handled flooding issues, built a Little League field, started a historical society, updated technology in the borough building, set up a public events committee, remodeled the police station and purchased new equipment for the officers while improving their pay, and set up a website for the borough. “I’m an idea person. I brought a lot to the table in that town ... There are a lot of things that I think we can do differently in the county, especially in our park system, our road system, our amphitheater, our airport, our stadium – those are thing that I have a pretty good general knowledge of,” Smallacombe said.

Corruption trial on county’s mind By RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com
SCRANTON – Lackawanna County wasted no time painting over former Republican Minority Commissioner A.J. Munchak’s name on signs for McDade Park and other county property, but his legacy of alleged corruption may be much harder for sitting commissioners to erase. On June 21, Munchak was found guilty of eight of the 21 public corruption counts he was charged with by the federal government, forcing him to step down. Former Republican Majority Commissioner Robert Cordaro was also found guilty of 18 of the 33 charges against him, though both maintain their in-

ince Bruce Smallacombe was sworn into office on June 28, he has already met with more than half the departments in Lackawanna County government, starting at 7 a.m. each morning. He works a full day in the office from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 or sometimes 5:30 p.m., and then attends borough and township meetings at night to introduce himself in between the five softball games on his schedule this week alone.
“I get about five hours of sleep a night,” Smallacombe admitted with a smile. The ambitious 57-year-old now fills the seat of former Republican Minority Commissioner A.J. Munchak, who was convicted on eight counts of public corruption in federal court and stepped down on June 22. While he feels some may be skeptical of his intentions after witnessing such a historic trial, Smallacombe also believes his personality and record will justify his appointment by the county court en banc in the eyes of citizens. “Anybody who knows me is not skeptical of why I’m here because I am such a people person and I believe in our area. I love this area,” he said. “I haven’t been given a silver spoon,” said Smallacombe, who recently served 10 years as mayor of Jermyn. “I worked my way up from a ditch digger and pipe layer to a county commissioner

you before you voted on it,” John O’Brien said, adding that he also did not see the lease as a conflict of interest. While Nearhood claimed he was not accusing the commissioner of misconduct, he said government officials must be careful of the “appearance of impropriety” after “all that we’ve been through.” “I think it’s accusatory, so let’s call a spade a spade,” Corey O’Brien replied. “You are assuming that I act or have acted or will act in a similar manner to previous commissioners who may or may not be in difficult positions.” Washo asked Nearhood to clarify that he was running for public office, which he said “adds some perspective to your appearances around election time.” Nearhood denied his questions were politically motivated.
Parking meter project hits another roadblock
By RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com
SCRANTON – Council President Janet Evans gave a brief update on the status of the StreetSmart parking meter program, which has hit another snag that will again delay its implementation. StreetSmart parking meters use sensors under the pavement and radio telemetry to detect vehicles moving in and out of parking spaces, making a city employee aware when a vehicle is in violation via a PDA handheld device. After learning more about the possible new revenue source from John Miskell, account manager for StreetSmart Technology LLC, council agreed to a free test of 100 spaces in December of last year, estimating $300,000 of additional revenue in its 2011 budget from the meters once they were fully implemented. While Wilkes-Barre began a free 50-meter trial more than three months

tizens show proof of their residency to enter the pool for free, though Scranton-Lackawanna County Taxpayers Association member Bill Jackowitz suggested in a letter to city officials that all children ages 1-15 should be allowed in automatically, and those 16 and older should provide a valid license or ID. “Providing free swimming for the children of Scranton not only takes away some of the financial burden from the families, but it also takes away the possible safety risk of swimming in the (Nay Aug) gorge or swimming in streams or rivers,” Rogan said. McGoff said that other pools in the city provide free swimming and that he views the Nay Aug pool as “a separate entity” where a charge is necessary to maintain the pool and the park itself.

UDAG repayments can only be used by the mayor, she continued. UDAG funds can be used for “any city purpose,” she contended. Additionally, Evans listed the mayor’s “wasteful and personal” spending of funds, saying that the money should always be spent on improving citizens’ quality of life. Finally, council passed legislation that prohibits the Scranton Recreation Authority from charging city residents an admission fee to swim at Nay Aug Park, citing children and families who cannot afford the fee as their primary reason for the change. The vote was 4-1, with Councilman Bob McGoff dissenting. The legislation asks that ci-
ago, the city of Scranton has yet to start its own. A sole source contract was granted to StreetSmart in cities such as Easton, but after receiving calls from competing companies, the Scranton Parking Authority felt it was not the sole source provider of the technology and opted to put out a request for proposals. After receiving bids from both StreetSmart and IPS Group, Inc., however, Evans said council rejected both bids and will re-bid the project, delaying its implementation until at least September. “The administration does not wish to implement this program because it proposes instead to sell the parking meters to the Scranton Parking Authority which will, in turn, take a $10 million loan to purchase the meters,” Evans said. “This is another example of an asset owned by the people which is sold or leased to an authority and then paid for a second time by the people.”

Changing the process Political or not, the questions spurred a consistent dialogue about corruption throughout the rest of the meeting. As the agenda progressed and a letter of agreement with Telespond Senior Services was discussed, Washo verified with Coordinated Transportation Manager John Tomcho that Tomcho himself recommends all hires he makes in his department while the commissioners simply approve his top choices. “In years past, a person would show up on my doorstep and say, ‘I’m here for the job.’ That’s how it was handled. Since you gentlemen have taken over, there has been an openness and the opportunity for us to actually see and interview and recommend all the employees that we’ve had,” Tomcho said. Washo said he is proud of this change and feels that newly appointed Republican Minority Commissioner Bruce Smallacombe shares the same philosophy. “Government shouldn’t get involved in the hiring process at the top levels the way it’s been done in the past. I think that the people that are utilizing these workers need to have some input on the people that they’re going to be working with,” Smallacombe said at his first official meeting since he was sworn in on June 28. “When it comes to vendors, we’ve adopted a federal standard for how these things are implemented. Was there one prior to this? No. Was there any process? No. Should people be skeptical based on the past? Absolutely.
That’s why it’s important for us to explain what it is so that (people) understand it,” Corey O’Brien added. O’Brien then detailed the current hiring process. A committee is formed, consisting of members of the department that is hiring, and they score proposals. Next, they negotiate with the top scored applicant, and if the director of that department does not choose the number one applicant, they must provide the reason in writing. The committee members are not allowed to communicate directly or indirectly with any county or authority official, employee or elected, until this process is over. The agreement then comes before the commissioners, who have not yet been involved, for questions and final approval. “We have taken the commissioners out of that process, and we’ve been doing that,” O’Brien said. “When we arrived here, people were just paid – no contracts on file. Nobody had a contract. People turned in a bill and they were just paid.” Many vendors, he said, couldn’t even provide a contract when asked. “All of a sudden, expenses just started going down because people couldn’t provide the contract because some of them didn’t even have them. That’s accountability.” Additionally, he addressed why the county’s Chief Financial Officer Tom Durkin is still serving the county. Durkin was the treasurer of the previous administration’s campaign and served as a witness in the corruption trial. “Why is he here? He’s here because he’s a professional. He’s an expert. That’s why he’s here – not because of some party affiliation,” O’Brien asserted. “Have we come a long way since four years ago? Absolutely.” Washo and O’Brien said they are confident Smallacombe’s experience as the mayor of Jermyn and his consistent new ideas will also help them move forward as a governing body. “I believe political contributions really should not be a part of government in any way…I just feel that sometimes political contributions could blur the vision of some types of decisions that are made,” Smallacombe said. “We’re not going to agree on everything…But I think if we’re working for the people’s business, I think we can work together. I don’t see any problem at all.”

nocence. While Democratic Majority Commissioners Mike Washo and Corey O’Brien talked extensively the following morning about the measures they’ve taken since 2008 to assure that similar “pay to play” schemes with county contracts could not occur, some may not be convinced the “good old days” are over just yet. Ray Nearhood, the Republican candidate for Scranton city controller, asked O’Brien at Wednesday’s commissioners’ meeting if Paul Woelkers had ever contributed to his political campaigns. Woelkers is the owner of a facility located at 1302 Madison Ave. in Dunmore that is set to house the county coroner’s office. The 20year lease, at monthly rate of $6,595, was approved later in the meeting. O’Brien said he was “not sure of the answer to that,” but explained that information could be found in his campaign finance reports. According to those reports, Friends of Washo & O’Brien has received $6,760 from Woelkers and Woelkers Realty. Friends of O’Brien & Mariani received $1,200 from Woelkers, and he also contributed $1,500 to Friends of Tim Rowland, the current county coroner. Kenneth Acker, a key witness in the Cordaro/Munchak corruption trial and an owner of former civil engineering firm Acker Associates, also donated $2,400 to O’Brien’s Congressional campaign, as did his wife, Diane, who gave an additional $2,400, according to the Federal Election Commission. Both contributed again to O’Brien’s re-election campaign earlier this year, but before the trial began and Acker’s testimony involving contract deals was made public. O’Brien felt it would not be a conflict of interest to vote for the lease agreement unless county solicitor John O’Brien had any objection. The commissioner made clear that he has no personal or business relationship with Woelkers. “All contributions need to be made publicly and reported publicly, and if that’s the case, we’ve advised you not to go back and check every time because that makes it look as if you were looking to see if they contributed to

Woman charged with stalking
By MATT MORGIS Go Lackawanna Intern
A woman was arrested in Scranton on July 9 for allegedly attacking another woman. Jennifer Graham, 33, North Everett Avenue, was charged with stalking, loitering, harassment, trespassing, public drunkenness, disorderly conduct and criminal mischief.

A lasting tribute
Call goes out to get funding for monument of Vietnam nurse By STEPHANIE LONGO For Go Lackawanna
HOW TO HELP
A planned monument for the first American woman killed in Vietnam needs community support in order to be unveiled as scheduled in October. Second Lieutenant Carol Ann Drazba, R.N., a 1961 graduate of Dunmore High School, was killed in Vietnam on Feb. 18, 1966 when the helicopter in which she was riding with six other people became entangled in high tension wires and crashed outside of Saigon. A local veterans’ advocacy group, The Friends of the Forgotten, has been working since February 2010 to raise money to erect a monument in her honor along Dunmore’s Blakely Street adjacent to the borough building. “This is a young woman who grew up in Dunmore; she did not come from a wealthy family but she worked hard and she committed herself to a life of service,” said Anne Domin, Drazba’s friend and nursing school classmate. “This is somebody that the community can be proud of because she dedicated her life to serving other people in the capacity of nursing. To think that the community would want to honor someone like this who really loved people and life is a great thing. It was her goal to be of service to others.” A groundbreaking ceremony was held on April 27 and the major fundraiser for the monument was held on Nov. 20 of last year when Chris McIntyre, director of the film “21 and a Wakeup,” an American war drama shot in Vietnam detailing the lives of Army nurses, held a screening of his film at Lackawanna College’s Mellow Theater. All proceeds from the event were to go toward the monument’s construction. “When I saw how much this [film] touched people and how emotionally affected they were by it, it occurred to me that I might be able to use the proceeds to make a substantial difference
To purchase a paver, which are available for a tax-deductible donation of $100 for four lines with 15 characters per line, checks can be sent to Carol Ann Drazba Memorial Fund, c/o Friends of the Forgotten, 527 E.

in people’s lives from a charity standpoint,” McIntyre said in the Nov. 14, 2010 edition of Go Lackawanna. “For this woman [Drazba] not to have a statue is just wrong, I want to help.” However, McIntyre may not be able to contribute the money needed for the monument in time for the scheduled dedication date of Oct. 8. McIntyre and his brother, for whom he cares, are both in treatment for severe forms of cancer. “I would love to help as much as I possibly can and certainly I can help to some degree financially and, with a little luck, I might be able to help to an enormous degree financially,” McIntyre said. “It all depends on my health and my brother’s health because that is what is unknown. I am still 100 percent committed to it but my health has taken a much quicker turn for the worse than I had anticipated when I started this.” According to McIntyre, costs for the monument, originally slated to cost $50,000 are now estimated at $65,000, and fundraising efforts have fallen short. “I am happy to donate from my pocket whatever is not raised by Friends of the Forgotten or through the movie screening in November, which raised a lot less than what we had anticipated; we had hoped for the best,” he said. “My own participation in this was predicated on substantial local community support from a practical matter, not from an emotional standpoint. I have not lost
one bit of enthusiasm for the project, it is just a question of practicality because of my health.” Kim Atkinson, the member of The Friends of the Forgotten who came up with the idea for the Drazba monument, is now asking local businesses and members of the community to help raise funds needed for its completion. “I have been in touch with so many organizations and people in the last few weeks and, after having spoken to other members of the Friends of the Forgotten, I believe that we can raise the needed money ourselves,” she said. “We don’t have to rely on one single benefactor. Members of the community and members of the nursing profession, the people who knew Carol Ann personally, and the veterans’ organizations from all across the country are pulling together and we will do this ourselves.” One such way that Atkinson hopes people will rally behind the Drazba memorial is by purchasing pavers to line a walkway leading to the monument from Blakely Street. The pavers were initially included in the project as a way to offset the extra $15,000 added to the project so to add more pavers to the area surrounding the monument for people to commemorate their loved ones who served in our country’s armed forces. “People aren’t just donating the paver towards Carol, they can donate the paver in memory or in honor of their father, their grandfather, their uncle, their nephew… anyone who served, who was lost in war or who is still serving,” Atkinson said. Joanne Katula, Drazba’s sister, also expressed her desire to see the community support this monument because her sister’s model can serve as an example to others. “Carol was a resident of Dunmore for the short lifespan that she had; I would hope that the community would want to get involved and see this completed,” she said. “
Woman jailed on prescription drug-selling charges
By MATT MORGIS Go Lackawanna Intern
The Dunmore Police Department teamed up with the Lackawana County Drug Task force in the arrest of Doreen Diaz on charges she sold prescriptions pills from her house.
Diaz, 41, of East Scott Street faces five counts of a possession charge and one count criminal use of a communications facility for allegedly selling Oxycodone pills. According to the affidavit: Police started an investiga-
tion on June 1, using a confidential informant as a drug buyer. Police said they were able to observe full deals between the C.I. and Diaz on three different occasions. On July 7, police used the evidence from the deals to execute a search warrant at

was a photograph that depicts a Department of Public Works vehicle being loaded with debris from the demolished building. “Council has learned that this property was purchased by Carl Savino, Jr. prior to demolition; therefore, it is a private property,” Krake wrote. While council asked for a written response on or before July 5, Councilman Jack Loscombe said council has yet to receive an answer from anyone within the city. Brazil did not return a request for comment, and Savino declined a reporter’s request for comment. “As far as I understand, I can’t say that the land owner is at fault. Whoever authorized our Department of Public Works to do it is definitely at fault. We’re not doing that for any private individuals, and in most cases, we’re bidding out all our demolition projects,” Loscombe said.
Coleman, who died July 9 in Scranton at age 93, also worked to balance the school’s budget while setting up an endowment fund to stabilize income. And she coped with a devastating fire in February 1971 that destroyed the Motherhouse of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the religious order that established the Roman Catholic school in 1915. “They say she sat on a chair outside, to see to the students and calm everything,” said Sister Michel Keenan, who knew Sister Coleman from her earliest days studying to join the religious order in the 1940s. Though Sister Keenan worked at Marywood at the time of the fire, she was away when the flames broke out. “She had a good sense of humor but was always a straight shooter,” recalled Michael Foley, dean of the college of liberal arts and sciences at Marywood. “She was honest and direct, and I found her engaging.” Foley recounted his early
days at the school in 1974, when Sister Coleman took over an office he occupied. “I said something to the effect of ‘Sister, I guess I’ll leave because it’s you,’ and she said, ‘Well, that’s very kind of you.’ As if I had a choice.” Coleman is credited with creating a centralized academic computer system, adding 11 undergraduate and six graduate programs and overseeing major expansions, including the $2.4 million Visual Arts Center. Keenan said that Coleman was always open to new ideas proposed by her administrators. In a statement posted on the Marywood website, current President Sister Anne Munley said Sister Coleman’s “steadfast spirit in the face of challenges helped Marywood stand above the rest.” Noting Coleman endured debilitating problems that made it painful to walk, Keenan said “She bore her suffering very bravely and it didn’t deter her great Irish wit or her devotion to community life.’’ Foley said that, after Coleman’s retirement, she taught math at what was then Bishop Hannan High School, a return to her first job in education. “She had style and grace,” Foley said.

SCRANTON – The recent demolition of a privately owned property located on the corner of South Main Avenue and Washburn Street has come into question, as it appears the work was performed by the city’s Department of Public Works. Local political activist Joseph Pilchesky filed a Right-toKnow request in June to Mark Seitzinger, director of Licensing, Inspections and Permits, after he said he observed city workers demolishing the building located next to the Carl J. Savino, Jr. Funeral Home at 157 S. Main Ave. According to copies of documents obtained by Go Lackawanna, Seitzinger sent a letter on June 30 to Business Administrator Ryan McGowan, asking for his assistance in answering the inquiry. n July 6, Pilchesky received a response from McGowan denying his request, stating that
“the City of Scranton does not have any documents responsive to this request.” The matter was then brought to the attention of City Council. City Clerk Nancy Krake sent a letter to Mayor Chris Doherty and Linda Aebli, executive director of the city’s Office of Economic and Community Development, on June 22, asking for a list of properties demolished by city employees from Jan. 1, 2010 through June 21, 2011. If city employees and equipment were not used, council requested the name of the company hired to perform the eight demolitions conducted in 2011. On June 23, Krake sent another letter on behalf of council to Doherty, city solicitor Paul Kelly, Jr., and Department of Public Works Director Jeff Brazil, asking if “the City of Scranton is demolishing properties for private owners.” Enclosed

Teens off to Louisiana to lend helping hands

Bishop Joseph Bambera says a prayer in front of St. Peter’s Cathedral in Scranton for students leaving for a Pontifical Mission to Louisiana.
ON A MISSION By MARK GUYDISH For Go Lackawanna

CRANTON – Brianna O’Rourke had never ventured far from her Forty Fort home, and conceded “I’m a little nervous” as she waited early Monday to board a van taking her to catch a Newark flight to Louisiana. But the idea of aiding the poor and the struggling had proven powerful enough to pull her beyond her comfort zone.
“I’ve always wanted to help people,” the soon-to be high school senior said as she waited outside St. Peter’s Cathedral. “I think this is a great opportunity to touch other lives and learn to be a better person.” O’Rourke and eight other teens from the Diocese of Scranton were heading to the Pelican State for two weeks. Along with eight adult chap-
erones, they are working with Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity Sisters at a summer camp for children, and going to New Orleans to aid elderly poor in a nursing home and help with reconstruction in flood areas. The trip was organized by The Pontifical Mission Societies office of the diocese, spearheaded by Director Deacon Edward Kelly, Education Coordinator Miriam Heverline and office coordinator Sharon Warunek. “We’ve been organizing trips for 18 years,” Heverline said as the teens posed for a photo on the Cathedral steps with Bishop Joseph Bambera. “We try to do two trips a year.” One of those trips used to be to another country, but that ended a few years ago. “We hope to start going overseas again soon,” Warunek said. “These trips started because the kids asked if they could do something other than give money,” Warunek said. Which is easy to believe
when you talk to them. Erin Gruber, a classmate with O’Rourke at Holy Redeemer High School in Wilkes-Barre, said she decided to take the trip because “I just really wanted to help people.” Gruber was motivated by an older brother who went on a Pontifical Mission before his senior year. “The things he told me about why he did it inspired me.” Students raise money for the trip, Heverline said, often with help from a school or parish. Gruber and O’Rourke have one other thing in common besides a desire to help. Both are contemplating careers in cosmetology. Gruber said she has enjoyed styling hair since she was a tot, beginning on a model head of hair and working her way up to styling for friends. O’Rourke said she wants to be “either a beautician or a special education teacher, I haven’t decided.” This sounds like a trip that could help with such a decision.

tion. The reliability of the their testimony was questioned as Smolskas replied, “I don’t recall” to many of the questions and Ruddy could not tell exactly who hit him that night. The defense also asked Ruddy several times if any Scranton police officers indicated to him that Miller was “trouble” or a “bad cop,” and if any of the officers pressured him into cooperating with the prosecution. Ruddy denied both allegations. When Detective John Munley, the final witness for the prosecution took the stand, a video from a security camera at the club was entered into evidence. Defense lawyers requested to view the recording several times before Munley took the stand. In fact, each witness admitted to having seen the video beforehand, and Sobieski swore everything he testified to could be seen on the tape. Munley did say that Smolskas’ testimony in court may be different than when he interviewed her.
The defense then called Mark Kosko, an off-duty police officer who was also at the VSpot and helped identify Miller and get him out of the club along with Officer Gary McPhillips, the first patrolman to arrive on scene. Both Kosko and McPhillips said they did not see Miller make any threats to anyone. Miller is accused of telling Sobieski he would “make his life a living hell” and “kill him” after he called police. Officer Kosko also said on the stand that he did not see Miller strike anyone when the brawls broke out. After all witnesses were called, Gannon’s attorney argued that there was never any reason for Gannon to show a fake badge since there was no special treatment afforded law enforcement at the bar. He also was unhappy of being tried with Miller, as he stated, “If Mark Miller wasn’t here, half of these charges wouldn’t be here and we would have nothing more than a $100 fine.”

SCRANTON – A preliminary hearing for a city police officer began July 12 to determine if the charges he faces after an alleged incident on June 12 at The V-Spot bar and nightclub, 906 Providence Rd., will be forwarded to court. Mark Miller, 32, faces charges of terroristic threats, official oppression, disorderly conduct and harassment and two charges of simple assault after allegedly fighting with Robert Ruddy, an off-duty employee of the bar in the parking lot, and Ruddy’s cousin Michelle Smolskas. Brian Gannon, Christopher Kahanic and Sean Manley all face similar charges for their alleged involvement that night. The four-hour long hearing, which will continu next week at a date and time still to be announced, started with testimony from Matthew Sobieski, who was working security at the V-Spot the night of the incident.
According to Sobieski, the club has two main rules: one cannot be visibly intoxicated, and Sobieski everyone must abide by a dress code. Sobieski testified that Miller, Gannon and Kahanic all tried to enter the club underdressed, and intoxicated with open containers of alcohol. “Their eyes were bloodshot, breath smelled of alcohol and they had a glass of beer,” Sobieski said on the stand. “I pulled them aside and told them they couldn’t come in and that’s when they told me they were cops.” Sobieski said Miller and Gannon then told him they were “Scranton Cops,” and Gannon allegedly showed him a fake badgeSmolskas and Ruddy also took the stand for the prosecution, stating that when they were in the parking lot, Miller started yelling at them and started the alterca-

According to the affidavit: A witness informed police of a suspicious white man entering the Jewish Community Center behind another person. After entering the building with his two-year old son in a stroller, Malewich allegedly proceeded downstairs to the locker room where the witness heard lockers opening and closing, police say. The witness told police that Malewich seemed nervous as he left the room. The witness then noticed his diamond ring and wallet missing from his locker. Using pictures provided by security camera, police found Malewich at a bus stop at the corner of Wyoming Avenue and Mulberry Street with his child, where he was arrested. While he admitted to being in the JCC, police say he told them he was there to get water. His son was taken by his mother before Malewich was arrested. It was only after being escorted to the Scranton police headquarters that Malewich allegedly admitted to taking the victim’s wallet and diamond ring. He told police he threw the ring in a garbage can at the JCC and the wallet in a nearby dumpster. The ring was not located, but the wallet was found in the specified dumpster. Police say Malewich admitted to them that he is a heroin addict and requested help for his addiction. He was arraigned on July 8 and was scheduled for a preliminary hearing on July 13. His bail was set at $20,000.

U.S. Attorneys argue in their brief in opposition to Munchak’s motion that bribery and extortion charges may be mutually exclusive in cases where the extortion involved threats or violence, but that Munchak was not charged with making such threats, using violence or otherwise using fear to extort kickbacks. Rather, he used his political power to commit extortion under color of right, and that form of extortion is not mutually exclusive with bribery, prosecutors said. They also argued that inconsistency in a jury verdict is not grounds to set the verdict aside.

Richard Caputo to not enter the decision against him, effectively acquitting him, because he was found guilty of both extortion and bribery for accepting the same kickback payments. His attorney, Christopher T.

The camp, open to local sixth-, seventh- or eighth-grade students, ran until July 14. Scranton Police Detective
Joe Castellano, a 27-year veteran of the city’s police department, also attended the camp and brought his “mobile office” to the parking lot of the college where he showed the students equipment generally taken to a crime scene. “We have everything from big lights to flashlights to keep the scene lit,” Castellano said. “We’re always out in the winter, at night, in someone’s basement – places that aren’t bright sunlight all of the time.
Then we have all different types of rulers, markers, GPS equipment and cameras to help us recreate the scene if we ever needed to, even years later.” Castellano set up shop from a “body bunker,” a shield-like barrier that provides privacy to disturbing scenes, to cameras that help capture every detail, making sure he had everything he normally takes to See SCENE, Page 14

Students get an intense look at Special Operations unit By TYLER MILES Go Lackawanna Intern
SCRANTON – Students were given a comprehensive look at “the cops who the cops call” on Wednesday during the Scranton Police Department’s Citizen’s Police Academy. The S.O.G (special operations group) was the focus of the lesson. S.O.G. specializes in and was created for handling intense, high-level situations. It consists of the bomb unit, K-9 unit, S.W.A.T. and snipers, two of whom taught the first half of the class. One of the team’s snipers, Corporal Thomas McDonald, said he “wants the people who attend to know about the tactical side of things and the training the city puts them through.” “I want them to know they have highly qualified and trained officers handling these delicate situations,” McDonald said. That training prepares officers for incidents such as barri-

cade and hostage situations. The grueling training process spans 16 hours a month; the sniper units are required to complete an additional eight hours of training. A physical fitness test is administered every six months to ensure the officers are capable of completing their duties at the highest level. The officers even have trained with the Vegas Metro
S.W.A.T. team, Navy Seals and New York Air Marshalls. Students were also introduced to the Bearcat, a highly defensible, state-of-the-art S.O.G. vehicle, during the class. The vehicle weighs nine tons and has bullet-proof sides, a turret opening on the roof and an attachment for a battering ram underneath its grill. Equipment used by both
snipers and negotiators was brought in and the students were able to get an up-close look at items such as a Remington 700 sniper rifle, shields, bullet-resistant vests, helmets and multiple-thrown weapons like flashbangs and tear gas canisters. Under the supervision of officers, students handled the weapons and tried on the gear after it was inspected and approved by the officers. Suiting up in the officer’s vest and handling the weapons was Blanca Rosenthal’s favorite part of Wednesday’s class. She said she’s “glad to see there are some new tactics that are more effective than they were in the past.” She’s also happy there is a crisis intervention team that diligently develops its skills to minimize accidents. Algiers Horton of West Scranton thought it was a very interesting class. “All of it is fascinating,” said Horton. “You learn something new every week.”

Sunday, July 17, 2011 several types of Biology at the college, organized the camp with the intention of giving children who have an interest in forensics a real-life look into the career. “There is so much hype with forensics from television shows like ‘CSI,’” DeSante said. “Hopefully, this camp serves a dual purpose where they have a lot of fun, but at the same time learn there is a lot more science that goes into solving a crime.”
A mock crime scene was then set up in one of the college laboratories where the students worked with Detective Castellano to solve a fake murder. Castellano stressed the forensics process is a lot different from what is shown on television.
Castellano thinks the camp is a great way for young people to get a head start. Some student, he said, may not like finding out how much work goes into forensics, but those who do will be ahead of the game. Brooke Coon, a sixth-grade
student at All Saints Academy, attended the camp to get a jump on her career as a detective. Her favorite television show is “CSI: New York.” “It’s a lot fun,” said Coon. “It is a lot different than TV, but it’s still something I want to do.”

CRANTON – The longtime president of Lackawanna College announced his resignation Tuesday, leaving behind a 17-year legacy of academic growth and expansion across the county. Raymond S. Angeli was named president of the college in December of 1994, having previously been a member of the
Board of Trustees from 1989 until 1992. A decorated Army officer who attained the rank of lieutenant colonel, Angeli served two combat tours in Southeast Asia as commander of a helicopter company and as a Department of Defense Inspector General and Foreign Area Officer in the U.S. Embassy in Paris. He also served as secretary of the state’s Department of Community Affairs in Governor Bob
Casey’s cabinet before assuming his current position at Lackawanna College. His retirement is effective June 30, 2012. “Ray Angeli, you will be difficult to replace,” said Dominick DeNaples, chairman of the college’s Board of Trustees, at Tuesday’s press conference. “Lackawanna College will certainly miss you.” Angeli, 68, said his decision “didn’t come quickly,” since he
first considered stepping down three years ago. He said he wanted to be sure the transition of the new Commonwealth Medical College in Scranton went smoothly first before retirement. “I have the best job in the world. Anybody who comes in after me will probably say the same thing,” Angeli said. See PRESIDENT, Page 16

PRESIDENT “We are, in effect, the community college of Northeastern Pennsylvania. We don’t have that label and we don’t have that financing, but we offer the same programs as everybody else. It’s been my opportunity, really, to be able to lead this organization to get where it is today.� Angeli feels his proudest achievement in 17 years is the awarding of two straight accreditations by the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, “something a lot of people aren’t managing to do these days.� He also found it rewarding to watch his students grow and succeed over the years, which added to his “mixed emotions� over retirement. “It has been great ride. I’ve enjoyed working at the college. It has been 17 years, and I think most college presidents last about seven, so I feel privileged to have it this far. It has been a great experience,� Angeli said after the press conference. Once he leaves next June, he said he is considering starting his own business. Jack Truschel, Ed.D., Psy.D., who serves on both the college’s faculty and Board of Trustees, will serve as the chairman of the search committee to replace Angeli. The committee will be made up of four board members, two faculty members, three administrators, one student, and possibly a sitting college president, he said.
The search is set to begin in July and is expected to commence in January, when two to three candidates will be selected for final consideration. College came “a long wayâ€? Chris Kucharski, Lackawanna College’s Executive Director of Marketing and Communications, also discussed the changes and rapid growth that occurred under Angeli’s tenure. “When President Angeli took over the college, we had one building on the South Side, Scranton, and a couple small satellite buildings. Today, we have four satellite centers located in Hawley, Hazleton, New Milford and Towanda,â€? Kucharski said. Many of the buildings used to expand were restoration projects, including the former Scranton Central High School which has served as the college’s main building since 1996. Kucharski said that the president felt it was important to preserve the historical significance of these locations and give new purpose to the sometimes blighted structures. New additions in that time include the Environmental Institute, the Mellow Theater, the Moffat Estate, the Student Union Gymnasium, and the launch of the community concert series. From 1994 to 2011, Lackawanna College went from three locations to six, from three buildings to 12, and from one to seven Scranton campus buildings. Degree offerings increased from 12 to 33, and enrollment grew from 820 to 1,460 students. “We’d like to be able to double in size‌We’d like to have 2,400 students full time.â€?

“If we can get politics out of government, maybe government will work.” — Bruce Smallacombe
NEWS ARTS RICH HOWELLS/FOR GO LACKAWANNA
Bruce Smallacombe was made a Scranton Commissioner on June 28. He formerly spent 10 years as the mayor of Jermyn.
SMALLACOMBE Continued from page 3
Creating an equal partnership The seemingly
ineffective
role of the minority commissioner has been called into question many times over the years, particularly by Munchak and current Majority Commissioner Mike Washo, who served as a minority under Munchak and Robert Cordaro’s administration. One of Smallacombe’s main goals is to break down those party lines. “I don’t think the commissioners worked hard enough to try to change that position. It’s supposed to be three equal partners working for one goal. "I understand the political part of it, where there’s a majority politically and a minority politically, but take politics out of government and put three people together with the same ideas and the same goals and you
change government,” Smallacombe said. “If I can change the role of the minority commissioner to an equal partner in six months, I’ve accomplished something great for the people of Lackawanna County.” This isn’t Smallacombe’s first foray into county government, either. He serves as vice president of the Lackawanna County Association of Boroughs and was the director of the Roads and Bridges Department for the county for four years. After being fired in 2008 when Washo and Corey O’Brien took office, Smallacombe filed a lawsuit, alleging he was let go for political reasons. Refusing to discuss the suit as it is still in litigation, he said he
would abstain from voting on any issue related to it that may arise and doesn’t feel it will impede his ability to work with his fellow commissioners. “We get along like equal partners so far in this process. As long as that litigation doesn’t come into play, I think we can work together and accomplish some good things. I don’t see it as being a problem,” he said. “I can get along with anybody. I’ll disagree with them when I have to, and I’ll work for them when it’s for the betterment of the county … I would make a tough political decision for the people, even if it meant that I was never going to be elected again. If we can get politics out of government, maybe government will work.”
SPORTS
He feels his experience as a small town mayor will help him to better address the needs of outlying areas that may get overlooked for funding or assistance. “I think I can bring a lot of the small municipalities’ needs to the county, address those situations and try to help them. The municipalities are getting tapped with unfunded mandates from the state such as new signage,” he observed. “I’m a firm believer in not spending taxpayers’ money foolishly and spending it on things that are niceties but not necessities.” He has also been looking for
feedback from county employees, visiting them daily and asking for their open and honest input – something he was told other commissioners haven’t done in years. “To me, to be a hands-on commissioner, you’ve got to be involved with every form of government and every department – find out their needs, find out who the people are and see what they’re doing and how we can improve their departments. "Yes, you have department heads that do that, but the commissioners also have to have that input not just from the department heads, but from the employees,” he explained.

Mari Potis, Membership Director and liaison for “The Office,” has been involved with the show since its launch. The show’s first “prop drop,” held after Season Three during which the show won an Emmy award, was held at the Mall at Steamtown. “Thousands of companies came out. We had to rent a truck
because we couldn’t Fed Ex everything,” said Potis.“We even had people bring us things like scooters and office chairs so we had to hire a packing company because it was so crazy.” “They can get out of control, but they’re always fun.” Potis said the events are always a success. The producers in California need items to fill up the show and using authentic items from Scranton is a way to keep the show real, even more so for those who are from here. “It’s neat to see real stuff from home, especially for people who are from the area,” said Hilary Steinberg, who works at Jaya Yoga and Pilates specialty fitness studio in Clarks Summit. She donated mugs and magnets for her first “prop drop.” Amy Gruzesky, Coordinator of Community Relations and Communications for Penn State Worthington, is a regular at the “prop drop” events. A big fan of the show, she’s “excited for the new season and all of the changes.” She dropped off Penn State water bottles, magnets, Santa hats, bumper stickers, pens and key chains.

ome may find the current tour with Motley Crue and Poison a throwback to classic rock n’ roll, but it will be the New York Dolls that will truly take audiences back to the roots of modern rock this summer. All three bands will play at the Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain on Sunday, July 31.
Formed in 1971, the New York Dolls are credited with laying the foundations of punk music, shaping the New York rock scene, influencing the glam and hair metal movement, and serving as an inspiration for countless other bands. When he hears such high praise, founding guitarist Sylvain Sylvain enjoys the compliment but questions the payoff. “It makes me feel great. I never became rich at this, so if that’s the only way they’re going to pay me and reward me, I appreciate it,” he said with a laugh. “We’ve made it to be successful financially in terms of getting by and to live a good life, but we never really saw those huge, huge paychecks,
when the bank calls you and says, ‘Man, go out and spend some money! You’re rich!’ I never got that phone call…My real name is Sylvain Sylvain, but usually they call me Complain Complain.” “When we came out, it was a rebellion to what was going on, which was stadium rock, where the song became an opera instead of like a three-chord, cool, sexy, little swinging riff, you know? We couldn’t stand all those drumming solos and all that kind of stuff. The guitar player is just showing off instead of really turning you on,” Sylvain explained. “I don’t do too much practicing. I learn my craft right in front of
the audience because the audience makes it the reason why they call it a performing art.” When asked about his legacy, he talks about how he invented the two-note power chord and the band’s consistent refusal to conform to record companies and society in general, but he feels its true trademark is its odd sense of humor. “I think the legacy is going to be our sense of humor that no one still gets through our songs. I mean, c’mon, we dared you to have sex with Frankenstein right off the bat on our first album,” he said. “We’re still doing it. Like ‘Cause I Sez So’ or

Enter a bar or club any night of the week in NEPA and it’s likely you’ll hear a local band playing amazing, mostly original music. The staff at the Albright Memorial Library began recognizing that talent several years ago when it began collecting and offering CDs by area muscians. Library cardholders can access and borrow for free anything from the Local Music Collection. The library has put out the call to musicians and begun adding to its already extensive collection of more than 10,000 CDs. Selections include music from such local groups as Mighty Fine Wine, And the Moneynotes, the Swims, and Okay Paddy. Recent additions include CDs from Cabinet as well as the initial solo efforts from musicians Pappy Biondo and Mike Quinn. Area musicians who want their “professional-style” CD added to the collection can contact Anna Kilcullen at 348-3000, ext. 3041 or by email at akilcullen@albright.org. Musician Charles Havira has several CDs in the library’s collection. “I know for a fact people have come up to me and said I got your CD from the library, Havira said. “That has happened multiple times.” Havira has first-hand knowledge of the library’s vast collection, as he has
used it many times to find local music. The small act of donating a CD to the library has the potential to reach an entire community. Anyone interested in listening to local music can look for the “Local Music” sticker when browsing the collection. The sticker is located on the spine of the CD and includes a picture of a guitar. Library visitors can also search the library’s online catalog for favorite local artists from smart phones or computers at www.lclscatalog.org. If you do not see a band listed in our collection and think they should be included, please let them know how easy it is for them to donate a CD. The Albright Memorial Library is dedicated to supporting local music industry and local talent and will continue to provide the community with access to this wonderful art. These resources and more are free at the Albright Memorial Library with a library card. If you don’t have a library card, come in and sign up for one today. ‘500 Vine’ focuses on library system services and events. The column aapears bi-weekly in Go Lackawanna.

‘Dance Like a Monkey’ on our first reunion album, if you want to call it that, in 2006. ‘Dance Like a Monkey’ is about that whole evolution debate that’s still going on. Is it God or is it science? And so we still sock it you in a way, like the beat poets influence that is in us.” Things have changed very little musically for the band since its 1973 self-titled debut album. After following up with “Too Much Too Soon” in 1974, the Dolls broke up in1976, and despite many offers to get back together, turned them all down until the time was right. That time came in 2004 when The Smiths’ Morrissey, an admitted fan, asked the surviving members to play the Meltdown Festival in London. “The minute we got on the stage the very first night, I think a big rush came,” Sylvain recalled. “The songs weren’t just wishy washy. They were important forever, not just for
that particular moment. Then, of course, the phone didn’t stop ringing and it hasn’t stopped yet, thank God.” Tragically, bassist Arthur Kane died soon after the reunion show, but Sylvain and iconic singer David Johansen went on to produce three new studio albums, more than they had in their youth. This came from a strong desire to continue writing and performing music, and Sylvain believes their latest record, “Dancing Backward in High Heels,” is actually their best release yet, already out-
selling their 2006 comeback as well as their 2009 followup. “When you go out and buy a New York Dolls album, just like the very first one, it’s a surprise to everybody. Call it shock or whatever it is. I think that’s one of the ingredients that I really dig about this last album. It’s a surprise, too.” On this tour, Sylvain and Johansen are joined by Kenny Aaronson, who has played with Bob Dylan and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, on bass; Earl Slick, who has performed with both David Bowie and Robert Smith, on guitar; and Jason Sutter, formerly of Smash Mouth, on drums. The irony of opening for Poison and Motley Crue, both of which they influenced, is not lost on the now 60year-old guitarist, but Sylvain may actually be having a bit more fun on tour than his younger colleagues. “They’re all Born Again Christians and they’ve got family and kids. I’ve got kids, but mine are all grown up and they moved out, so I can fool around again,” he cracked. “They have to behave, but we’re still as nutty as ever.”

ators across the world. Under the production company Channel Awesome, Doug and his brother Rob have recruited diverse talent with similar creative visions to craft a regular schedule of daily content, and to encourage a sense of community, many of the characters cross over into each other’s programs. This culminates in an annual event where almost all the reviewers meet in person to film a movie made almost entirely for fans of the website. That’s dedication. My most recent favorite site of this variety is RedLetterMedia.com, named after its video production company. In addition to short films, they offer the review series “Half in the Bag,” where filmmakers Mike Stoklasa and Jay Bauman play VCR repairmen who talk more about recent movies they saw than actually repair anything. Stoklasa is best known for his other character, Mr. Harry S. Plinkett, who reviews an odd variety of sci-fi and children’s films in a peculiar voice with an even stranger personality. Plinkett reveals throughout his reviews that he is a serial killer who also has a penchant for pizza rolls, and while he is clearly insane, he ends up making such valid points about the “Star Wars” prequels and “Star Trek” films that his extensive videos have gone viral.

er to do basically the same thing. And no, this isn’t yet another article about the wonders of Hulu and other on-demand websites offering streaming TV shows. I want to talk about some original, independent programming that you won’t find on cable or satellite that is, in many ways, vastly more entertaining than the slew of generic reality TV or singing/dancing competitions bombarding the airwaves these days. The first show of this kind that I ever watched was “The Angry Video Game Nerd,” a series created by indie filmmaker James Rolfe during which he reviews old video games from his childhood. As he is only three years older than me, I immediately related to his frustrations with cheap 8-bit Nintendo
games and their impossibly hard levels, but what hooked me was his unique presentation. Unlike most reviewers, James never discussed newer games on the market, and instead of speaking on his own behalf, he created the character of the pocket protector-wearing Nerd, who has since become an Internet icon. His colorful rants and over-thetop slapstick made his videos hilarious and memorable, and once I started to browse his website, Cinemassacre.com, I found short films, movie reviews and other shows similar to “AVGN” that displayed the many facets of this talented actor/director/writer. His updates became increasingly frequent, so I found myself turning on the TV less and less to tune into his five to 30-minute videos. As his series progressed, so did his ambitions, and now Rolfe is working on a full-length movie starring the bitter, raving gamer that I anxiously await. This led me to discover “The Nostalgia Critic,” another Web series starring comedian Doug Walker. It has a similar premise, except he reviews old movies instead of games. Also like James, his titular character usually chooses entertainment of the lowest quality to review so that he can pick apart every ill-conceived facet. His show is far from a rehash of “AVGN,” though, as he has taken it in a much different direction with its own kind of growth.

Vintage Theater offering free poetry, open mic nights

ARTS
CRANTON – The addition of free poetry and open mic nights at The Vintage Theater is providing area residents with yet another reason to visit the downtown. Since the theater at 222 Wyoming Ave was established three years ago, its main focus has been to showcase and cultivate local artists through events such as concerts, plays, theatre acts and films. “The open mic night provides every performer with an opportunity to showcase their work for us and the public,” said co-founder and Programming Director Conor O’Brien. “It’s always a fun night and it gets people to appreciate the local arts without really having to pay for it.” Open mic events take place the last Thursday of every month. Musicians, actors, poets and comics are all invited to attend and perform original works. Recitations of someone else’s pieces are also accepted as long as credit is given. O’Brien said the events have become
more popular with each passing month. June’s event was the most successful to date, with15 performers taking the stage. Poetry nights will be held the third Thursday of each month. These will be strictly for those who want to recite or attend a show based
solely on poetry. The majority of performers at these events attend the theater’s writer workshop, which meets every Saturday from noon to 2 p.m. “We highly encourage anyone who has the slightest interest in poetry to come. There are very talented and experienced people there, but anyone can come and feel welcomed,” O’Brien said. “If you just want to come and watch, what do you have to lose?” “Any time you allow people to showcase their talents for others, no matter how small or large the audience, it allows them to connect to the community, likeminded people, and fellow artists. It brings people downtown on a night when they might not be doing anything.” Since the Cafe Metro closed in WilkesBarre last year, the The Vintage Theater remains one of the few venues for concerts and events for local youths. O’Brien hopes places such as The Vin-

tage Theater may encourage visitors to explore other downtown destinations. By attending a local event and watching a movie, doing some shopping, or grabbing a bite to eat afterward, he feels the theater can help other local artists and locations, promoting overall growth for the city. “I’m a firm believer in anything that brings people into downtown Scranton and does well for the community,” O’Brien said.

As such, their often give back to their fans in a big way, listening to their requests and delivering what people actually want to see, as opposed to whatever they’ll settle for on cable television. Most recently, James took viewers behind the scenes in his last “AVGN” episode, showing everyone just how much time and effort goes into making an average video. Despite having 10 times the budget, I doubt anyone spends even a quarter of the time producing an episode of “Jersey Shore.” This allows viewers to have a vested interest in what they’re watching.

with me. Corporate TV only seems to allow “the beautiful people” to star in their own shows, unless the point of said shows is to make them look dumb, but anyone can establish their own web series, which makes me want to see them succeed all the more. Without the constraints of
fickle, out-of-touch executives and overbearing advertisers, these programs are allowed to tackle any subject they like exactly as they’d like to, making videos that are more genuine and honest. When was the last time you watched G4, for example, and saw a host that actually looks like they play video games? How many seasons of the same uninspired schlock must we endure before traditional
programming starts catching up to the times? None if this keeps up. As television and the internet slowly become one through burgeoning technology, I believe that it’s only a matter of time before one replaces the other. What big studios need to realize is that it’s not the amount of money you spend on a show or how many publicity stunts you can stage that retains viewers – it’s simply allowing creative people to just be creative. While bad television will never go away, we can certainly help it become less frequent, at least in our own lives. While I can’t tell you who won the last “American Idol,” I can recall the last comic book discussed in “Atop the Fourth Wall.” While I may not be able to participate in that rousing “water cooler” discussion about it the next day, I’ll sacrifice mediocrity for quality any day.

“W
innie the Pooh,” Disney’s latest film revival of A.A. Milne’s “willy, nilly, silly old bear,” is longer on charm than on laughs. But it’s a treat for children making their first trek to the multiplex and for parents and grandparents with fond memories of the “Hundred Acre Wood.” This “Pooh” is a musical homage to the 1960s Pooh short films, adding new songs (by “Book of Mormon” composer Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez) and a lovely revival of the “Winnie the Pooh” title tune, winsomely sung by Zooey Deschanel. And if the animation doesn’t have quite the hand-colored warmth of those older cel-animated classics, it more than does justice to the world’s favorite “tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff.”
Co-writer/directors Stephen J. Anderson and Don Hall, with the help of five other credited screenwriters, emphasize Pooh’s literary roots, making Winnie work his way through paragraphs and pages of words — literal words that collapse into piles of letters at Pooh’s bidding. “Is there honey in this paragraph?” There had better be, because “I am a bear of very little brain, and long words bother me,” he sighs. Voice actor Jim Cummings does a great impersonation of the late Sterling Holloway, the original Pooh, as well as Paul Winchell, the original voice of Tigger. The story is as simple as any Pooh picture. The bear is out of honey “and a Pooh bear takes care of his tummy.” But Pooh also has “a very important thing to do.” Sad old Eeyore (Bud Luckey) has lost his tail and the manic Rabbit (Tom Kenny) and verbose Owl (Craig Ferguson) make various plans

feel, as Voldemort’s army strikes back against Harry’s student and staff rebellion. Director David Yates keeps the ebb and flow of combat clear; for all its blitzkreig energy, the battle never feels incoherent. What distinguishes this from other summer shrapnel-fests is the way it follows individuals that we care about through the conflict. Second fiddles Neville Longbottom (Matthew Lewis) and Prof. McGonagall (Maggie Smith) step forward to play pivotal roles. The film creates a world where heroism and deceit spring from unexpected sources. It’s one of the glories of the Potter series that it can deliver a childlike sense of wonder without requiring a childish black-and-white worldview. And what wonders are on display! The power bolts, spells and invisibility cloaks are beautifully realized, absurd yet persuasive. The brutish ogres and giant tarantulas Voldemort unleashes in the final battle inspire genuine shivers of fear. And there are witty miracles; the dragon demolition of Gringott’s goblin bank is a riotous image of a corrupt financial firm’s collapse. When Hermione transforms herself into a double of Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter) for a spy mission, Bonham Carter plays Watson impersonating Bellatrix to hilarious effect. Near the climax, Harry’s mentor Albus Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) returns in a vision to advise the young wizard that words are potent forms of enchantment, rich with the power to hurt or heal. Here the secret of the series is revealed. If the Potter franchise had been cooked up in a studio pitch meeting with storyboards and visual-effects demos, it could never become the generation-defining phenomenon that it is. It captured the imagination of an era like no cultural event since Beatlemania because it stands on a solid million-word foundation created by J.K. Rowling. She put story and character front and center, and when they’re succeeding, the Potter films do, too. For all the movies’ dazzle and flash and Hippogriffs, the characters are more vivid than the special effects. It is our emotional involvement with the three-dimensional heroes and villains, sidekicks and background players that draws us back time after time. The final chapter ends with an epilogue that puts a lump in your throat and makes you want to watch them all again from the beginning. That’s the definition of a classic.

SCRANTON – Fans of all sorts braved the heat and flooded the Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain Thursday for the Van’s Warped Tour — an annual daylong music festival. Warped Tour was filled with music from almost every genre, covering electronic, hip-hop and punk. Even Scrantonbased metal band Motionless in White was a part of the seven stages and 70 acts that performed. The top acts included Paramore, Simple Plan, A Day to Remember and Pepper among others. Rob West of Mountain Top, who made his first Warped appearance, said he came to see 3OH!3, but found a lot of other performances he enjoyed. “Kyle Demko was one that really stuck out to me; it just was cool to always be able to see that much music,” he said. “You weren’t confined to one place and you have a lot of freedom.” It was a “never going to quit” attitude all day as vendors, charity organizations and bands were at the venue before 6 a.m. preparing to take on the day.

place for fans to experience a festival without traveling far, and the bands love it just as much. Less Than Jake’s vocalist Chris DeMakes, who has been on Warped Tour since the 90s, said it’s the best way to connect with fans. “You can look someone in the eye, shake their hand and say ‘Hey, thanks for buying my record,” DeMakes said. “That still means something to someone.” The performers had much more than 30-minute sets to worry about as well. Interviews, autograph signings, acoustic performances and contests were held by dozens of organizations. Returning Warped fans Tim Duncan

Dunkin and Best weren’t the only ones traveling to see the show, as many bands hailed from other countries like the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. The Van’s Warped Tour makes its next stop in Mississauga, Canada tomorrow. The next show slatted for the Toyota Pavilion is Lil’ Wayne on July 19.

Scranton Prep readies a ‘from the gun’ offense in Dream Game

CRANTON – Nick Donato is faced with one of those problems that can come up when rosters are put together for a high school football all-star game. Scranton Prep’s Donato has just one player with nearly full-time experience at tailback on the roster of the City team that will take on the County on July 27 at Scranton Memorial Stadium in the 77th annual Scranton Lions Clubsponsored Dream Game.
“It’s the second time, really, that I’ve been short at the tailback,” said Donato, who was 1-1 as a City Dream Game coach while at North Pocono and 1-0 as a County assistant coach while a member of the staff at Abington Heights. “When I had the game in (1989), we took Jackie Brier, who was a flanker for us at North Pocono, and he played tailback. “It’s the same now that (Jimmy) Pichariello from Dunmore is the only kid with real tailback experience.” Donato, however, has an uncommon solution. The City roster features a pair of quarterbacks, West Scranton’s Tyler Hughes and Susquehanna’s Dan Kempa, who each ran for more than
1,000 yards as a senior. “We have Kempa and Tyler Hughes, so we’re going to just let it go,” Donato said. “I think we’re going to be in the gun a little bit.” Hughes made the use of two running backs irrelevant when he threw for 2,320 yards and 23 touchdowns while running for 1,406 yards and 20 touchdowns from the spread offense to lead West Scranton into the District 2 Class AAA championship game. “I’m going to let Tyler operate out of the gun,” Donato said. “I talked to Kempa. He’s going to play a little tailback for us and a little quarterback and we’ll see what happens from there. See DREAM GAME, Page 36

KEEPING SCORE TOM ROBINSON championship series after West Scranton had used three playoff wins to improve its district winning streak to 19 games. The playoff victories made Green Ridge the team that is representing District 11 in the Region 5 Tournament, which started Saturday in Bloomsburg. “We had a great run,” West Scranton manager George Roskos said. “ … They won two out of three games. “They deserve it.” West Scranton opened the
championship series with a 3-0 win July 9 and had a 3-0 lead again in the second game Sunday. Green Ridge took over from there with a six-run fourth inning to pull out a 6-5 victory at Scranton High School before winning the decisive game, 4-2, Monday night at Battaglia-Cawley Field. The pitching combination of Tim Forsette, Tanner Schmidt, Casey Reed and Kyle Booth held West Scranton to well under half its usual production during the series. “Nobody has been able to do anything like our pitchers did as far as managing that lineup,” Green Ridge manager Cal Shea
said. The district championship was about more than just pitching, however. Green Ridge turned two difficult double plays in key situations in the deciding game and showed off an offense that made efficient use of the chances it had. Third baseman Mike Miller went to the line in the third inning to start a double play when West Scranton had runners on the corners with a 1-0 lead. West Scranton was trying to cut into a 3-1 deficit in the sixth when Danny Repshis started the See SCORE, Page 41

The district, made up of teams from Lackawanna County, gets just one this season. That is a shame because it has two championship-caliber teams. West Scranton showed it was clearly one by going 16-0 in the regular season for what was a rare unbeaten finish.

In the crest, the shamrock design is morphed into a lacrosse stick on the top clover leaf. “We wanted something that’s a little progressive,” said Jennings. “We didn’t want a cartoon character. We wanted to get away from that.” A uniform design will not be unveiled until after the league signs a jersey deal. The popularity of Scranton’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade and the strong Irish culture in the area was a determining factor in choosing the Shamrock name. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton is the first team to unveil its name and logo. Charlotte, N.C. joins it as the only two NALL franchises to have been announced. The NALL, according to Jennings, will disclose four more teams by the end of the month.
The Shamrocks plan to boost youth lacrosse development in the Wyoming Valley. Only four Wyoming Valley Conference schools – Dallas, Delaware Valley, Lake-Lehman, Tunkhannock, Wyoming Seminary – sport lacrosse programs. “Fifteen years ago, when the Penguins came to the area there were very few hockey teams in the area at the high school level,” said Luzerne County Commissioner Tom Cooney. “Now, hockey is being played throughout the whole area. I believe that is going to happen with lacrosse.” Lacrosse fans on hand were enthusiastic about the team logo and design. “I like the logo,” said John Van Der Wal, of Blairstown, N.J. “I think it looks fresh and the name fits the area.”

PLAINS TWP. – The newest professional sports francise in Northeastern Pennsylvania will pay homage to the area’s Irish-American heritage. The previously unnamed indoor lacrosse team will go by the moniker Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Shamrocks, team officials announced Thursday at a press conference. The Shamrocks’ logo – a cloverriddled shield bearing Ireland’s national colors – was also unveiled at a press conference at the Woodlands Inn & Resort. “We have a very strong IrishAmerican heritage in this area,” said Shamrocks president and owner Jim Jennings. “We could not have picked a more appropriate name.” The Shamrocks begin play in the
North American Lacrosse League in January 2012 at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza. Owners chose the Shamrocks moniker over the Haymakers and Bullies. Team officials liked the nickname in the early stages of the organization’s development and reached out to local college marketing classes and focus groups for their input. “Everyone seemed to love the name,” said Jennings. “We didn’t get any negative feedback on it. We looked at some other names but this one kept on coming back to us.” Jennings stated that the inspiration for the team’s logo drew from the simpler designs of Major League Soccer teams, specifically the Philadelphia Union. The team’s shield design is “based on a modified version of the shield of arm from Ireland,” said the logo’s creator Chris Lochinski, of Lock De-

Pitcher Warren helps lift IL stars B
Staff Reports
y the time the 24th Triple-A AllStar Game came around Wednesday night, the Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre Yankees had just one representative. Right-handed pitcher Adam Warren made sure the Yankees still had a significant impact on the game.
Warren was one of just two pitchers to throw two innings during a combined three-hit shutout that helped the International League to a 3-0 victory over the Pacific Coast League in Salt Lake City. Hazleton Area graduate Russ Canzler accounted for all the scoring with a threerun homer in the second inning and was named IL Top Star. All three runs were unearned in an inning that started with Charlotte’s Dayan Viciedo reaching on to have to drop out of the game. Jervis learned before the gathering, however, that the West Chester recruit is going to be available. Talerico was named state Class A Player of the Year after leading District 2 champion Riverside to an appearance in the state Class A championship game. Talerico passed for 1,995 yards and 30 touchdowns while running for 1,044 yards and 16 scores. Jervis will stick with the offense his staff coaches at Lackawanna Trail. “We’re going to run exactly what we run at Lackawanna Trail, a version of the wing-T, something we believe in,” Jervis said. “I think the one positive about it is the series approach. You can run a decent number of plays as long as the kids understand the series.” All-star game rules generally limit blitzing and require one defensive approach in order to
an error by Salt Lake third baseman Jeff Baisley. Canzler, a third baseman for the Durham Bulls, hit a two-out shot to left-center field. The IL pitching staff dominated to the point where David Cooper was named PCL Top Star for getting a single and a walk. Columbus pitcher Zach McAllister got it started, allowing just a hit in the first two innings. Warren overcame an error to hold the PCL scoreless in the third and fourth innings. He threw 22 of 30 pitches for strikes and had one strikeout. Seven pitchers followed Warren, combining to hold the PCL to one hit over the final five innings. The Yankees originally had three players selected for the game – catcher Jesus Montero, first baseman Jorge Vazquez and relief pitcher Kevin Whelan. When injuries led to them being among the players who were unavailable, Warren was in the list of players added to the IL roster.
make it possible for teams to teach offensive plays, with limiting adjustments in the two weeks of available practice. The coaches have agreed to switch from years of a 5-2 defensive approach to 4-3 alignments this year. Tolerico is able to play but both teams had several adjustments to make when players were removed from the roster for a variety of reasons, including injuries, work commitments and other schedule conflicts. The County lost Matt Boyarsky and Al Tuzze of Lakeland, John Paul Abda of Abington Heights, Jamie Rowe of Valley View and Alex Dietrich of Honesdale while adding two-way lineman Bobby Coulthard of Valley View.

Area players in minors enjoy success C
By TOM ROBINSON For Go Lackawanna
ory Spangenberg, Kyle McMyne and Ray Black were teammates on the Moosic Mets in the fall of 2007, trying to improve developing baseball careers. Those efforts paid off as each of them moved on to Division I college careers that led to their selections in this year’s Major League Baseball Draft. “We’re showcasing kids in front of college coaches and also some pro scouts,” Moosic Mets general manager Bill Nelson said. In its 26-year existence, the Mets program has produced about 20 professional players.
Spangenberg has his professional career off to a flying start while McMyne is trying to bounce back from being briefly detoured by injury. Black and Michael Papi, a member of the 2009 Moosic Mets, each still have the choice of signing professionally or continuing as college players. Black went from Coughlin High School to the University of Pittsburgh where the San Francisco Giants made him a seventhround pick. Papi, who led Tunkhannock to this year’s state Class AAA high school baseball championship game, was picked in the 30th round by the Los Angeles Angels, but also has a University of Virginia scholarship waiting for him. Instant success, early struggles and uncertainty are the range of results for players with local ties drafted by pro baseball teams last month. They also sum up the experiences of those from Lackawanna County teams who made their pro debuts earlier but are still trying to find the right path to Major League Baseball. Spangenberg, who led Abington Heights to a 2009 state Class AAA championship, joins Old Forge’s McMyne and Lackawanna Trail’s Jacke Healey as graduates of county high schools who are active in pro baseball. Five former Keystone College players and two from Lackawanna College are also playing.
Spangenberg, who also played for the Moosic Mets in 2008, is the early success story out of this year’s draft class. Selected 10th overall by San Diego in the first round, the second baseman jumped from Indian River State College, a junior college in Florida, and quickly signed with the Padres. “Spangenberg was seen by VMI at one of our showcases,” Nelson said. “The rest is history. He went there, then to the JUCO and to the 10th pick.” Spangenberg was the Player of the Week for the Northwest League in each of the first two full weeks of the season and earned a promotion in less than a month. Following Monday night’s game in Eugene, Ore., Spangenberg was promoted from the short-season Class A Northwest League to the Fort Wayne (Ind.) TinCaps of the full-season Midwest League. “We check in on our old players a couple of times a week and try to post their stats on our Facebook page,” Nelson said. Spangenberg put up many impressive numbers. When he left Eugene, Spangenberg led the Northwest League in on-base percentage (.545) and walks (31) and tied for the lead in runs scored (20) and doubles (10). “The kid’s destined to be a big-leaguer,” Emeralds manager Pat Murphy told the Eugene
Kyle McMyne
Register-Guard. “ … He plays the right way all the time.” Spangenberg went 0-for-2 with a walk, a hit by pitch and a stolen base in his Midwest League debut Wednesday night. Through two games, he was 0for-6. McMyne struck out the first three batters in his first pro start, but left each of the first two games early and, after having stiffness in his shoulder while warming up for the second game, was rested by the parent Cincinnati Reds. The former Villanova University pitcher was scheduled to return to action Thursday night only to have the game rained out. In the first two starts, McMyne does not have a decision. He has a 6.75 earned run average with five hits, two walks and six strikeouts in four innings. Healey was hitless in 23 atbats over seven games through Wednesday night. That dropped the former Youngstown State infielder to 1-for-35 (.029) in 11 games to start the New YorkPenn League season with the Houston Astros Tri-Valley ValleyCats farm team in Troy, N.Y. A shortstop, Healey also played with Tri-Valley last season when he batted .170 with five homers in 44 games. The Lackawanna Trail graduate was part of a 2010 draft class
that also included four Keystone College players. Yazy Arbelo has made the most progress of the former Giants. Arbelo played in the Midwest League All-Star Game and is leading the league with 22 home runs and 69 RBI while playing for the South Bend Silver Hawks in the Arizona Diamondbacks system. Arbelo also gained all-star recognition last season. After being selected in the 26th round, he went to the Yakima Bears where he hit .285 with 13 doubles, 14 homers and 55 RBI in 68 games to make the year-end, all-star team. The midseason selection made Arbelo the starter at first base for the East Division. He went 0-for-2 in an 8-3 loss; however, a recent slump has dropped his season average to .240 in 88 games. Eric Groff, Victor Lara and Sean Murphy are also still playing after leaving Keystone when they were drafted in 2010. Groff, a third baseman, and Lara, a relief pitcher, are with Arizona’s Pioneer League team in Missoula. After batting .341 for the first 10 games of July, Groff has his season average at .304 with 11 extra-base hits through 19 games. He jumped up from Class A to Class AAA Reno for the final five games of the 2010 season. Groff hit three homers in a game for a Missoula team record last season. He had three extrabase hits again Thursday with two doubles and a triple against the Casper Ghosts. Lara is just 1-8 in two seasons, but his other numbers this year are respectable. He is 0-3 with a save, a 3.75 ERA and 20 strikeouts in 12 innings through eight appearances. Murphy is in his second stop of the season. After winning his season opener at Stockton of the California League to improve to 4-0 as a professional, he is 0-3 with a 7.48 ERA in five starts with Burlington in the Midwest
League In 21 2/3 innings, Murphy allowed 31 hits for the Bees but walked just four while striking out 13. Bryan Henry gave Keystone three players on the Missoula roster after Arizona drafted him last month. Henry is 4-for-18 (.222) in six games, after going 2-for-5 with his second homer Thursday night. Henry also homered in his first professional at-bat, but has had limited opportunities as one of three catchers on the Osprey roster. Blaine O’Brien, a 6-foot-7 pitcher, was drafted in the 34th round by the Philadelphia Phillies as a Massachusetts high school player in 2008 and again in the 48th round this year by the Cleveland Indians. He has not signed with the Indians. Dan Winnie, a right-handed pitcher from Danville, is 7-2 in parts of two pro seasons since being drafted out of Lackawanna College last year. Winnie worked six innings, allowing a run on three hits Wednesday, to improve to 3-0 with a1.50 earned run average in four starts this season at Danville, Va. of the Appalachian League. He has allowed 15 hits and 13 walks while striking out 15 in 20 innings. Chris Sedon, an infielder from Coughlin High School, was picked by Detroit in 2009 out of the University of Pittsburgh where he became a Big East allstar following his career at Lackawanna. He is with the Lakeland Flying Tigers of the Florida State League but has not played yet this season. Sedon has struggled offensively. He batted .137 in 49 games for Oneonta as a rookie and hit .221 combined in 60 games for three different teams last season. Lackawanna’s Chris Kirsch, a left-handed pitcher selected in the 21st round by the St. Louis Cardinals in June, has not yet signed.

inning with a single. Mike Cebulko ranged far to his right to get to a ball that seemed headed through the middle, starting another double play. “That’s the play of the game, maybe the play of the season,” Shea said. “That saves the game right there. And the turn, for Tanner (Schmidt) to be able to get a lot on that throw, it’s a game changer.” Playing without standout outfielder Joe McCarthy, Green Ridge still found a way to produce enough offense to win the series. “We were persistently patient,” Shea said. West Scranton pitching was offering just enough chances for the bottom of the Green Ridge order to work out walks while counting on the top of the order for the big hits. “When a certain part of the order is struggling a little bit, you don’t want to go up there swinging the bats,” Shea said. “A lot of those walks paid off for us. “We ended up getting timely hitting when we needed it. The bottom of the lineup did their job. We wound up getting walks and turning the lineup over.” Schmidt and Booth each had two-run singles in the six-run outburst Sunday. D.J. Navoczynski and Miller had RBI hits in the four-run fifth to break a shutout Monday and Schmidt later singled in a run.
That left it up to Forsette, who gave up only one unearned run in five innings of relief against a team made up almost entirely of former teammates of his when he played at West Scranton High School. “I went to school with all these guys,” Forsette said. “It’s tough, but I had to do it. “I had to pitch well.” He did and as a result, District 11 has a different top team in the playoffs than it did in the regular season. “They were the best until these two games,” Forsette said.
