Lackawanna lucky to have Angeli this long

I had mixed emotions when I learned last week from our intern Matt Morgis that Lackawanna College President Ray Angeli was leaving his position effective next year. The tip came after Morgis’ coverage of the college’s first forensics camp for middle school students while I was on vacation with my family. At least I know I’ve trained the interns to pick up news tips well in my absence. It’s odd to write this column because if it weren’t for Ray, I might not be in this position. Before my father passed away unexpectedly in 1997, he served as Lackawanna’s director of financial aid beginning in 1992. I recall many trips to the South Scranton building that

BEHIND THE BYLINES

CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES used to account for the entire campus to watch the Falcons basketball team play. Later, we’d travel to the former Scranton Central High School where my father and I would climb planks of plywood where the steps would be put into place as construction crews completed renovations. After Dad died, Ray extended a very generous gift to my family that not many know of. When I was ready for college, my tuition at Lackawanna would be paid for as a thank you for the work Dad had done as he helped to secure funds for the students who wanted to

better themselves but didn’t have the means to do so on their own. After a brief stint at Keystone College, I changed my course of study to communications and landed in downtown Scranton at the building that once seemed so immense when I was 11 years old. Ray’s gift brought me to Lackawanna, and I’m thankful it did. It was at the college that I gained incredible opportunities. I took on a leadership role at the student newspaper and interviewed Hillary Clinton in 2004 during her event supporting John Kerry’s candidacy for president. I’ll never forget asking if she’d run in 2008 if Kerry failed. She told me it was a pretty preposterous proposition. Four years later, she was strolling through the streets of

Scranton during the St. Patrick’s Day Parade that doubled as a campaign event. Funny how things change. It was during that time that I was truly bitten by the journalism bug. While Ray didn’t get me the interview, I always felt I owed it to him a little bit. Board of Trustees Chair Dominick DeNaples got it right when he said Ray will be tough to replace. The college underwent extensive growth under his 17 years of leadership and dropped the cumbersome “Junior” from its name along the way. It’s clear now that there was nothing pint-sized about the changes that Ray and the board would execute. The college and my fellow alumni were lucky to have him. It’s my hope that the search committee finds someone equal to Ray to lead the city’s true

community college. It will be hard to find someone better or more generous.

CRANTON – More than two years after an independent film crew came to Scranton to shoot the dark, dramatic tale of redemption that is “Forged,” the film will be released to national audiences beginning Friday.

Set in northeastern Pennsylvania, “Forged” has previously been well-received on the festival circuit, including a 2010 Best Picture win at the New York International Latino Film Festival, an Outstanding Film win in the 2010 Providence Latin American Film Festival and an official selection for the 2010 Los Angeles Latino International and 2011 San Diego Latino film festivals, executive producer and JVW Inc. CEO Joe Van Wie, 33, of Scranton, said.

The process of selling the film for wider distribution began shortly after the festival selections started coming in. It was recently purchased by Maya Entertainment for its Indie Film Series. “Forged” will take the gritty tale shot in Scranton to New York City and Los Angeles on July 29 and San Antonio on August 5.

SCRANTON - Acting U.S. Marshal for the Middle District of Pennsylvania Martin Pane announced that Virginia murder suspect Richard Hanson, 53, was arrested at the Red Carpet Inn early Thursday morning. According to a press release from the U.S. Marshals Service, Hanson was sought after his father, Gary Hanson, 75, was found shot in the head four times inside his Springfield, Va., home on the evening of July 19. An arrest warrant charges him with second degree murder, and he was believed to have the handgun used in the crime in his possession. U.S. Marshals and Scranton police received information that Richard Hanson was possibly in the Scranton area on July 20. Members of the USMS Fugitive Task Force conducted surveillance at the Red Carpet Inn, 320 Franklin Ave., Scranton, and evacuated hotel guests from nearby rooms. Hanson exited his room on his own during the evacuation early Thursday morning and was taken into custody without incident, according to Scranton Police Capt. Carl Graziano. After his arrest, Richard Hanson was treated at a local hospital. A press release from the Fairfax County Police Department’s Public Information Office said he was considered an endangered adult for medical reasons. Police did not clarify what type of treatment he required. He will be processed and charged as an out-of-state fugitive-from-justice, according to the USMS, and is due to be arraigned in Lackawanna County. He awaits further court proceedings concerning his extradition to Virginia. TYLER MILES, a Go Lackawanna intern, contributed to this report.

HEAT WAVE CONTINUES By TYLER MILES Go Lackawanna intern

Residents of northeastern Pennsylvania nearly broke records for electricity use as they dealt with a heat wave that sat over the region Wednesday, according to officials at PPL Electric Utilities. As temperatures continued to their estimated highest on Friday, PPL Spokesman Kurt Blumenau said that electric use on Thursday, July 21, nearly broke a record set in August 2006. “We were on course to break the peak demand record,” Blumenau said. Although the record is still intact, electricity was still in high demand on Thursday. Residents consumed the most energy since the record break-

PPL takes precautions on days with high stress on electrical use by monitoring peak demands, which are essentially a snapshot of the point in a day when people are using the most power. “We have system operators who are constantly monitoring the load on the different circuits of our system. If it looks like one circuit is becoming too heavily loaded, they can move some

of the power and route it a different way to get where it’s going,” said Blumenau. “By doing that diligently in times like this were able to prevent any kind of overload. “Right now we haven’t seen any significant issues or outages on our power delivery systems,” he continued. “We also don’t anticipate problems with either power supply or handling the load on our system,” Blumenau said. Peak demand is traditional between 5 and 7 p.m., he said. Most businesses are shutting down, but many residents are returning home to turn on lights and various appliances. Blemenau predicted another day full of high demand for electricity on Friday. Numbers were not available at press time.

their first and final reading of the agreement on Tuesday. “If the city fails to enter into this modification/extension of a loan agreement, the city will be required to apply (Community Development Block Grant) funds to the payment due…thereby drastically depriving the city of financial resources,” Evans explained, adding that cuts had already been made to these funds. “The city would likely never recoup its money and the city must use its CDBG money starting immediately to repay those Section 108 loans.” Council Vice President Pat Rogan cast the lone dissenting vote, labeling the move as a “bailout.” “I do not believe it’s government’s job to bail out businesses who failed…The only winner by passing this legislation is the primary lender,” Rogan said. Evans and council solicitor Boyd Hughes disagreed, saying that the legislation was not a bailout, as the city would not be

picking up payments or loaning any additional money. “It is merely a postponement of this payment,” Hughes said. Councilman Frank Joyce called it “more of a forbearance” than a bailout. “I shouldn’t use the term ‘bailout.’ I should use the term ‘stay of execution,’ I guess,” Rogan responded. Evans said that while the future of the Steamtown Mall may seem grim, she felt that council should at least attempt to give its owners more time to turn the downtown shopping center around. “There will be a loss of hundreds of jobs, numerous story closings, and an anchor of the downtown could be empty by year’s end. With its unemployment figures higher than the state average, Scranton cannot afford to place hundreds of people into the unemployment lines. Further, our city stands to lose tax revenues if the Steamtown Mall closes.”

SCRANTON – City Council unanimously agreed to an audit of the Scranton Single Tax Office for the year 2010 on Tuesday. The city and the Scranton School District entered into a contract with Joseph M. Alu and Associates to perform the Single Tax Office independent audit for the sum of $30,000. The cost will be split evenly between the city and the distinct. Councilman Frank Joyce said the audit is “sorely needed,” as an audit has “not been conducted in over a decade.” Council also approved the first reading of an amendment to community planning and development projects by the city’s Office of Economic and Community Development to be funded under the Community Development Block Grant program, Home Investment Partnership program, and Emergency Shelter Grant program.

SCRANTON – After a lengthy debate, City Council passed emergency legislation on Tuesday that will allow the Mall at Steamtown to delay its loan repayments to the city for another two years. With a 4-1 vote, council amended the 2003 Section 108 loan agreement between the city and Steamtown Mall Partners, LP, for the refinancing of the Lackawanna Avenue Mall Project by extending the agreement until 2013. According to the legislation, Steamtown Mall Partners are in the process of restructuring their loan with their primary lender, who has required them to defer all payments on secondary debt, including the Section 108 loan. As a condition of the interest rate reduction, Steamtown Mall Partners would be prohibited from making payments on junior indebtedness until the primary loan matures on July 13, 2013.

Council President Janet Evans said that Steamtown Mall Partners is currently in default on its primary loan and has renegotiated its loan with its primary lender, which holds a $37 million first lien on the mall. The final payment by Steamtown Mall Partners will now be due to the city’s Office of Economic and Community Development on or before July 20, 2013. James Walsh, the mall’s general manager, and Steamtown Mall Partners Attorney Eugene Hickey appeared before council during a public caucus held in November of last year to discuss the issue. While the plan was approved by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in December, Evans said that city administration just sent the legislation to council on July 5 for approval. It was kept off the July 12 agenda until Hickey answered some of council’s remaining questions. As it was required to be approved by July 19, council held

SCRANTON – Lackawanna County Commissioners held a hearing on the county’s fiscal challenges on Thursday morning, during which they announced the formationofanadvisoryboardtoaidtheminsolving future problems, including an estimated $5.89 million revenue shortfall this year. When Commissioners Mike Washo and Corey O’Brien took office as majority commissioners, they faced a $12.87 million budget deficit in 2009, which they believe was caused, in part, by the mismanagement of former commissioners Robert Cordaro and A.J. Munchak. Levels of “historical debt” were reached from 2002 to 2007, and the county also faced a $15.3 million debt service spike in 2008, a $35 million auction rate market collapse, and $350,000 in periodic payments on five SWAP transactions. “It reached a point where people who

were creating the debt became so arrogant that they opened a public building that you own on an invitation-basis only, and you weresupposedtowearatuxedotogetthere – a building you own, the airport.

Making what they deemed difficult but necessary decisions, the sitting commissioners reduced expenditures by $18.6 million; reduced the county workforce by 32 percent; terminated constant maturity SWAPs, which resulted in $1.1 million in one-time revenue; and sold the Lackawanna County Health Care Center for $5.1 million.

ABINGTON HEIGHTS SCHOOL BOARD

Mahon addresses possible PSSA cheating By DON McGLYNN dmcglynn@theabingtonjournal.com

CLARKS SUMMIT - Abington Heights Superintendent Michael Mahon, Ph.D. explained during the school board’s monthly meeting on July 20 that recent state reports that question the possibility of cheating within the district during the 2009 Pennsylvania System of School Assessment tests could simply be the result of a poor performance in 2008. Abington Heights was one of several regional schools who were “flagged” in a 2009 study that used statistical analysis to uncover possible cheating on state standardized tests. While the report contends the data can indicate where cheating “may” have occurred, it repeatedly stresses the analysis is not proof of cheating. Mahon said he learned of the report, dubbed the “Data Forensics Technical Report” a study done by the Data Recognition Corporation, a Minnesota-based company that has done numerous “technical reports” over the years analyzing the state test, on Wednesday, July 13. After receiving additional information on July 15, the district learned why they were flagged for cheating. “In this report there are 26 different categories in which you can be flagged. The report does a statistical analysis based on comparisons between student grade level performance and statewide performance. Essentially these categories can be broken down into two groups, erasures and change in scores,” said Mahon. Mahon explained that in regards to erasures the group looked at how many answers were erased and changed from wrong to right. Each district’s average number of answers changed from wrong to right was compared to the state’s

average. If the district’s average was statistically higher than the state average, they were flagged. The data from 2008 was compared to 2009, and districts were also flagged if test scores in one particular year rose greater than would be predicted. Abington Heights received no flags for erasures, but reading scores in 11th grade rose from 68 percent proficiency in 2008 to 85 percent in 2009. The district was flagged for a change in scale score from 2008 to 2009 in reading, a change in advanced proficiency percentages from 2008 to 2009 in reading and a difference between the reading and math scores. “It happened that 2008 was the base year that they chose to compare the next year’s scores to, so what they said was this district went from 68 to 85. Therefore, they must have cheated,” said Mahon. The report didn’t take into account the fact that the 68 percent proficient the district earned in 2008 was unusually low, as Abington Heights averaged a combined score of 81.4 percent proficient on the test during the 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011 school years. The report also fails to acknowledge that these scores were earned by two different populations of students. Mahon went on to say that the district did not want to be dismissive of this report, and they were willing to take stern action if necessary, but he feels it is unlikely that cheating occurred. “I can tell you after looking at this data that I am completely confident that the report reveals absolutely no inappropriate behavior on the part of the staff or the students,” said Mahon. The school board will meet again for its monthly work session on Wednesday, Aug. 3.

Police investigating stabbing

By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES chughes@golackawanna.com

SCRANTON – Police followed a trail of blood drops from 1130 Preston Place, Scranton, to Fellows Park on Wednesday afternoon during their investigation of an alleged stabbing that occurred at the park at about 5 p.m. According to Scranton Police Sgt. Mike Mayer, 20-year-old Norman Gamble was with three other men inside the park when one of the men began punching him. During the argument, the man allegedly pulled out a knife, leaving a “severe laceration” on Gamble’s left bicep and several cuts across his chest. Police were first called to the home at Preston Place where Gamble allegedly collapsed after the incident. Officers followed a trail of blood from Preston Place, down Decker Court, through the Fidelity Deposit and Discount Bank parking lot at Main Avenue and Luzerne Street and back to Fellows Park.

Police question individuals outside 1130 Preston Place during an investigation in Wednesday’s stabbing at Fellows Park.

Although Mayer said the police department had no criminal records for Gamble, court records show that he was living in Scranton in March 2006 when he pleaded guilty to a summary offense for disorderly conduct in Moscow. Property owner Edward Backus, 39, of Holly Road, Dunmore, faces charges after he “jumped over” police tape and entered the crime scene at Preston Place, according to Mayer. When asked by police why he crossed over

the line, he allegedly replied, “I wasn’t paying attention. It was a dumb thing to do.” Backus purchased the property identified as 1130 Rear Luzerne St., Scranton, for $1 in Feb. 2007, according to online records from the Lackawanna County Assessor’s Office. Adjoining properties at 1130-32 Luzerne St., Scranton, were purchased in Dec. 2007 for $16,000. No information on his arraignment was not available Saturday afternoon.

SCRANTON - A 49-year-old Scranton man who recently lost his job at PNC Bank now faces criminal charges after allegedly withdrawing $68,3000 from his parents’ bank account to pay off gambling debts. George Kinback, of Summit Pointe, Scranton, faces two counts each of theft and forgery, and one count of receiving stolen property after a three month long investigation. According the affidavit: In late June, PNC fraud investigator Terri Hoover reported to city police that Kinback, who was employed at the West Scranton branch on South Main Avenue, was suspected of making unauthorized withdrawals from the account of George and Phyllis Kinback. Karen Lucas, George Kinback’s sister and the power of attorney for Mr. and Mrs. Kinback, originally requested information when their parents were moved into a nursing home. Police claim that Kinback supplied his sister with false bank records stating that the account had a balance of around $64,000 when it actually had $19,000. Money was also missing from Kinback’s cash drawer as well. Kinback, who was a head teller at PNC, was placed on administrative leave. After several interviews with Secret Service agents, Kinback allegedly told police he owed $37,000 to loan sharks. He would take money from his cash drawer and pay the gambling debts. After taking approximately $58,000 he started paying it back through the money in his parents’ account. Detective Jeffrey Jones was the arresting officer. An arraignment was held on July 21, and a preliminary hearing is set for Aug. 8. He was released on $75,000 unsecured bail.

According to the affidavit: Jolene Knight, a witness inside the store claimed she was waiting in line at the cash register when Kupetsky “stood directly on her left side, exposed his penis and began masturbating in front of her.”

Knight noticed what was happening, screamed loudly, and Kupetsky walked out of the store and into a rented U-Haul truck outside. The incident was captured on inhouse video surveillance. Detectives identified the man through U-Haul rental records. Kupetsky admitted that he was at the scene but denied touching himself. He claimed that he was only exposed because his genitals “fell out when he unzipped his pants prior to using the restroom.” Detective James Pappas was the arresting officer. Kupetsky was arraigned on July 19, and released on $20,000 unsecured bail. A preliminary hearing is set for July 26.

JERMYN - A Jermyn man has pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct after a July 13 incident with his ex-girlfriend. Additional charges against Brandon Roslar, 19, of Jefferson Avenue, Jermyn, were withdrawn, according to court records. According the affidavit: Roslar sent a text message to his ex-girlfriend and asked for her to visit him. When she arrived, he presented her with a necklace in an attempt to repair their relationship. When she refused, Roslar allegedly ripped the necklace off her neck. As she walked away, he allegedly grabbed her arm and tried pulling her back towards his home. A neighbor who witnessed the event called police. Roslar was taken into custody after the incident. He was released the next day, and as he returned home he stated to the neighbor “Watch your back, we’re going to kick your ass.” Roslar was originally arraigned on July 16 and released on $10,000 unsecured bail. He entered the guilty plea on July 20.

This realization prompted the commissioners to form an advisory board to help craft their 2012 budget and suggest new ways to generate revenue.

They also plan to brief incoming county elected officials on the challenges they will face when taking office in 2012. “A tax increase is not on the table. We’re not even considering that…We’re going to work hard to overcome. We’ve been able to overcome in the past, and we’re going to overcome it this time as well,” O’Brien said. “You’re either a fool or lying if you say that you’re not taking advice from somebody outside of government, because government doesn’t have all the answers,” Minority Commissioner Bruce Smallacombe added.

SCRANTON – Evidence is clear that the “Be Part of the Solution” campaign is working, although it is still relatively in its infancy.

CRANTON – The city’s police department has received two donations aimed at spreading the word about the public-private partnership pursued by Chief Dan Duffy since taking office last year. Duffy was joined by magisterial district judge candidate Joanne Corbett on Tuesday to discuss her donation of advertising space on the 200 block of Pittston Avenue in South Scranton for the “Be Part of the Solution” campaign.

“I was very appreciative of it because I want to get that message out, especially in South Side,” Duffy said. “I want to make sure every part of the city gets the same attention, and this is an awesome way to break the ice in South Scranton.” Corbett said she paid approximately $1,500 for the ad space on the corner of Hickory Street and Pittston Avenue from May to November. The sign promoting the police department’s campaign went up on July 1 and will remain through the end of August, she said. In addition, she is donating close to $400 for the purchase of 10 new metal crime watch signs that include information on how to submit tips on alleged criminal ac-

Officers, fire fighter go above call By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES chughes@golackawanna.com

SCRANTON – Two members of the Scranton Police Department and one Scranton fire fighter were recognized Thursday for going above and beyond the call of duty in this month, saving the lives of several citizens. Scranton Police Chief Dan Duffy offered proclamations on behalf of Mayor Chris Doherty and ceremonial lapel pins donated by a city business owner who wished to remain anonymous to Sgt. Pat Gerrity, Ptlm. William O’Brien and fire fighter Dave Dolphin for their heroic efforts. Gerrity responded to call of unresponsive person at Bank Towers on July 15. “I was headed to my office at City Hall. I heard the call come in, and I was two blocks away,” Gerrity said. He administered CPR for several minutes until emergency medical technicians arrived to take the man to Mercy Hospital for treat-

ment. As of Thursday, nurses told Gerrity the patient was doing well. While he has performed CPR on individuals several times in his career, he said Friday marked the first occasion where the victim pulled through. Duffy thanked Gerrity for remaining proactive. The sergeant said he tries to conduct patrols for several hours each day after his administrative duties are complete. “I can’t sit back. I’ve got to be out there,” he said. O’Brien was responsible for alerting four residents to a fire at a home at 1208 Luzerne St., Scranton, on July 16. After clearing a call, O’Brien could smell smoke while stopped at the intersection of 12th Avenue and Luzerne Street. He saw flames and black smoke coming from the back half of the second floor of the home. He opened a first floor door and worked to remove an elderly woman and middle-aged man from the residence. The male on the first floor informed O’Brien of a father

and son living on the second floor. He climbed a smoke-filled, outdoor stairway and kicked open the door, alerting the father of the fire on the second floor and also removing them from the house. O’Brien thanked the fire department for their speedy response, which he said helped save the Luzerne Street home. “My hat’s off to them,” he said. Scranton Fire Department Assistant Chief Al Lucas described Dolphin’s July 18 rescue. “Because of your compassion for the public you serve, you were able to calm a potential suicide victim back to his safety,” Lucas said. The incident was above Dolphin’s training, but not above his character, Lucas added. “The gentleman recognized Dave from the firehouse one day when he drove by, and Dave had a rapport with the gentleman,” he said. “Just with his compassion for fellow humans, he did convince this man to come back off the ledge.”

Songs celebrate Lithuanian heritage

n the mid 1800’s, Northeastern Pennsylvania had just begun to prosper from the development of major industries like coal mining, railroading and textile manufacturing. As these industries grew, so too did the influx of European Immigrants to the area. Much has been written about the influx of different groups who came here: first, the Welsh and Irish, then the German and Eastern Europeans followed closely by the Italians.

Among the Eastern Europeans who settled in the region were the Lithuanians, who first arrived in Northeastern Pennsylvania in the 1860’s. They settled mainly in Providence (North Scranton), Hyde Park (West Scranton), Pittston, Eynon, and Forest City. “Revolution of the Heart through Song” is the theme of the Fourth Lithuanian Heritage Day to be held at the Anthracite Heritage Museum, McDade Park, Scranton Pennsylvania, on Sunday, July 31, 2011, at 1 p.m. This special recognition of the importance of song to the Lithuanian people will feature three stirring presentations.

Support for the solution campaign and Duffy has continued to grow over the last several months including from an unknown man who stopped at the corner of Hickory and Pittston Tuesday morning to speak to the chief. “Duffy, you’re the best,” the man shouted out of his car window. “We love you in this city, trust me.” The campaign sends a message to law abiding citizens that the police department sup-

A special showing of the movie “The Singing Revolution” by James Tusty and Maureen Castle Tusty will begin the day’s events at 1 p.m. The documentary chronicles the independence movement of the Singing Revolution as it began and grew in Estonia. The Singing Revolution also took root in Latvia and Lithuania. In the geographical center of Europe on August 23rd, 1989, the three Baltic nations stood together arm in arm in a human chain that spanned their three states and sang. Like one fragile strand of thread, they rewove the fabric of their nations with song. That day marked the 50th anniversary of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. The pact that tore the fabric of the Baltic States. The steadfastness of a people using only their voices to change their world is one of the most hopeful experiences one can witness. In 2003, Lithuania and her sister nations, Latvia and Estonia had their long standing tradition of Song and Dance Festivals proclaimed by UNESCO as masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. The Intangible Heritage of Humanity will eventually teach and lead us all, when we are ready. The inclusion of the film “The

’The Singing Revolution’ will be shown during the Anthracite Heritage Museum’s Lithuanian Heritage Day on July 31.

Singing Revolution” for the Anthracite Heritage Museum’s 4th Lithuanian Heritage Day 2011 is a tribute to the history of the Baltic nations and their struggle for independence. It coincides with the 20th anniversary of that recognition by the world and the fall of the Iron Curtain. At 3 p.m. a choral tribute to American Lithuanian choral director Bronis Voveris will be conducted. Voveris, from northeastern Pennsylvania, exemplified in every aspect of his being the value of song. Voveris was always ready. Unfortunately, he did not live to see Lithuania declare its independence from the Soviet Union in 1990. This July 31, nearly a quarter century after his death in 1989, this humble, unassuming choir director is inspiring some former members of his choir at King’s College, The Men in Red, to reassemble and present, most appropriately - a singing tribute. Voveris would have rejoiced at the courage of Lithuania being the first Soviet republic to declare it’s

Former choir members of The Men in Red, Robert Wilson and James Katchko, a performing arts chairman, are the carriers of the torch for the tribute. The day’s events will conclude at 4 p.m., with a youthful choral presentation by the Endless Mountain Children’s Choir under the direction of the American Polish Lithuanian choral director Dr. Christine Sezer. The museum will close at 5 p.m. The power of song sustained the Baltic nations, sustained Voveris and Katchko, and also sustains Sezer. She, too, has devoted her life to performance and song. The final tribute of the day’s program will, most appropriately, feature her young children’s choir carrying the Baltic, Lithuanian tradition forward through the voices of children of all ethnicities singing songs of hope for a revolution of the heart. The Anthracite Heritage Museum takes special pride in presenting this program for it was here in northeastern Pennsylvania at the beginning of the 20th century that the early struggle for Lithuanian independence had original deep roots.

Santos-Diaz was charged with criminal conspiracy and receiving stolen property, and he allegedly confessed to his role in the robberies under questioning by Detective Michael Schultz, according to Duffy. The arrest was the second made related to the original June 27 incident. Juan Pablo Matias, 21, of Cedar Avenue, Scranton, was charged with robbery, theft by unlawful taking, receiving stolen property,

criminal conspiracy, simple assault, reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct after he was apprehended during a second delivery to the Valley View apartment complex on July 13. Matias allegedly told police he committed the robberies to feed a cocaine and marijuana addiction. Matias was arraigned July 13 and held for $25,000 bail.

Two online rebate sites, Ebates and ShopAtHome, can help you earn cash back with every online purchase. Last year when I first started reading coupon blogs, I had no idea that you can get rebates when making purchases online. When you sign up for an account at either site, you will receive a $5 bonus once you spend $20 online within 60 days of signing up for the services. So, how do you use the sites? After signing up, you will be able to search for the store you are looking to shop at, such as Gap, Crocs, Old Navy, and so on. There are thousands of stores that you can search for and coupon codes as well. Each store offers a different amount of cash back, and some even offer double rewards on certain days with a coupon code. For example, one of my favorite sites is Snapfish. They are offering a coupon code for buy one, get one free photo book using the code “SWAV” and 8 percent cash back. So, it’s like a double savings.

northeastern and north central Pennsylvania,” she said. While the building located at 525 Pine St., Scranton, marks another significant step forward in the history of the area’s first medical college, Nora said it’s merely a means to an end towards improving the health of the area and serving the community by producing highly skilled medical professionals. The facility achieves that goal by combining hands-on lessons with a wealth of technological resources that address the fast-paced society current students live in. “What we really try to do is have an innovative, active curriculum where students are learning by doing rather than sitting and listening to lectures,” Maurice Clifton, M.D., senior associate dean for academic affairs, said. In some settings, professionals are trained to portray symptoms ranging from pregnancy to heart attacks while students are expected to complete an accurate diagnosis. They’re also taught to build good procedur-

al habits like building a rapport with patients. Inside the simulation center, students are offered a variety of new technologies to train for real-life situations. Students also learn in controlled environments with computer scripted scenarios that are chosen by professors. On Wednesday, second-year students Megan Gooch of Eynon, Dan Benyo of Drums, Kevin Baker of Pittsburgh, and Mike Farrell of Pomfret, Md., successfully revived a dummy patient under cardiac arrest in a simulation run by specialist Anthony Pellegrino. Gooch said the simulations help students learn to develop a plan of action to work within a team of healthcare professionals to best aid a patient. The school is also focused on three forms of research – education-, community-, and science-based - Associate Dean for Research and Economic Development Dan Flynn, Ph.D., explained. “Our research programs are focused on diseases that are relevant to northeastern Pennsylvania,” Flynn said, including chronic diseases related to aging and a variety of cancers. The East and West wings of the building, dedicated respec-

tively to academics and research, are joined by a second floor café where school leaders believe students will gather not only to eat but to share ideas and, hopefully, solve problems in their field through collaboration. Wayne I. Thompson, associate dean for technology, demonstrated the video conferencing capabilities that will allow students to participate in a single lecture from campuses in Scranton, Wilkes-Barre or Williamsport. The technology is currently being used for a series of didactic lectures held each Friday. Many lectures are also recorded, and all students are equipped with laptops to retrieve materials from specific classes or from the school’s library containing predominantly digital resources. “The idea is that wherever they are at whatever time of the day, they’ll have access to the resources they need,” Thompson said. Officials have already built in a section of so-called “shelf space” for future expansion that cost the college $2 million, according to Brian Campbell, chief institutional advancement officer. There are currently 130 students enrolled at TCMC.

(expletive).” Now age 60, Mars also confessed that he thought at least one member of the band “would be dead by now,” but he feels that maybe a few hard lessons were learned to bring them to this point in the careers. “I think I would say that we’re probably a bit more educated after a couple of overdoses. You know what I mean? It’s like, ‘Oh, I don’t want to do that again.’ I think everybody goes through that, really.” While the band was often trashed in reviews when they started, Motley Crue has since gained respect and its own place in the music industry, which the ax man thanks his fans for.

“Our fans grew up and took over…It’s pretty funny, you have to admit. I think that any new band that comes out gets rejected unless you’re very, very poppy and commercial. Anything new and different or whatever you want to call it has to get respect. You have to earn it, I guess, paying your dues,” he explained. “Notice every time a new band comes out it’s ‘the devil’s music.’ Imagine if there was no change and we were still playing ‘Hound Dog’ by Big Mama Thornton or Elvis. I guess that people are accustomed to gradual change, but radical change? No.” As the songwriter behind some of the bands more recognizable riffs, Mars credits his unique style to a wide variety of influences, including Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, Alvin Lee, and Johnny Winter, and playing in many cover bands early in his career that allowed him to combine and learn parts from many different types of musicians.

Heavy metal icons Motley Crue are known worldwide for embracing the wildest of rock n’ roll lifestyles, but all that founding guitarist Mick Mars wants to be remembered for is his diehard dedication to his craft. The infamous Los Angeles rockers will be stopping at the Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain on Sunday, July 31, with fellow ‘80s glam act Poison and special guests the New York Dolls. As early as age of 3, Robert Alan Deal knew what he would be doing with the rest of his life. After playing in various small bands throughout the ‘70s, he decided to dye his hair black and change his name to Mick Mars, advertising himself in a local paper as “a loud, rude, and aggressive guitar player.” Bassist Nikki Sixx and drummer Tommy Lee immediately hired him as singer Vince Neil rounded out the group that would soon be known as Motley Crue, a name that Mars also

coined. “I was bored with my other life. I don’t know…Change is good,” Mars said. “But I’m still me.” Clad in heavy make-up and a colorful wardrobe, the band burst onto the scene in 1981 with a rebellious attitude that quickly gained them both media attention and animosity from concerned parents and political leaders. Their lives of sex, drugs, and rock n’ rock may have thrust them into the spotlight, but Mars said his primary concern was always the music. “I really do focus on music. When I was 3 years old and I decided that I was going to be a musician, a guitar player – that’s the same way I think today. I don’t care what kind of consequences might come or get in my way…This is what I chose to do and I’m not going to let anybody or anyone or anything mess it up for me. I just love music. That’s all I want to do,” Mars said. “I have to admit that some of the guys like that media attention. I don’t. I’m about the music. I skip the

The real test is how longtime comic book fans will take to this overdue big budget adaptation. It exceeded my expectations on several levels, including how character driven the film was, placing it a step above many other movies of its kind. With Captain America being one of my top favorite heroes, I must admit that I wasn’t exactly thrilled when I first heard that Chris Evans was cast as the star-spangled Avenger. He looked like Steve Rogers, but I hadn’t seen him play anyone other than himself. He only seemed able to play a dashing, young, wisecracking flirt in every movie he starred in. That wasn’t going to fly for Cap. With over 70 years of history, the character has had time to come a long way. Created in 1941 as World War II propaganda, audiences got their first glimpse of our hero punching Hitler square in the jaw on the cover of his premier comic. When writer Stan Lee revived the character in 1964, he immediately made the man deeper and more complex. Lee began exploring how and why he became the man he became, forcing him to face failure and the challenge of representing a new generation of Americans that, up until now, he hadn’t been a part of. As the face of war and politics changed, so did Cap. The script writers understood the importance of this change as well, and thankfully, Evans steps out of his comfort zone to deliver the best performance of his career. Steve’s

At this point in the summer, movie critics get particularly tired of reviewing blockbusters, so inevitably, they’re going to be a bit harsher than they normally would be. “Captain America: The First Avenger” is receiving mostly positive reviews, so I think that says a lot about how enjoyable this superhero flick truly is.

Northeastern Pennsylvania has its share of local flea markets, but the city of Scranton hasn’t seen an event quite like WFTE-FM’s Punk Rock Flea Market. The inaugural event is set for Saturday, July 30, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in radio station’s parking lot at 930 Meadow Avenue. While its namesake implies that the merchandise may be related strictly to music, it’s actually more closely associated with the do-it-yourself attitude of the punk lifestyle. Over 20 vendors are booked to sell crafts, clothes, vintage items, CDs, purses, jewelry, house wares, crochet and knitted items, homemade and handcrafted goods, and more at the event. Local bands Think Big!, Down to Six, Down a Lifetime, and Call Me Out will also perform throughout the day. Stephanie Ogozaly, music director of WFTE, was inspired by similar large-scale punk flea markets held in bigger cities like Philadelphia and thought Scranton, and subsequently the station, would benefit from the unique cultural event.

“I was interested in that, so I was doing some research online and I saw that people were putting them on all over the place on a much smaller scale, so I thought, ‘Why can’t Scranton have that?’ I just started the ball rolling and here we are,” Ogozaly explained.

“We want to do a lot of community events and really become involved with the community. We want to be a presence out there…I hope this will bring in some people who maybe haven’t heard of us yet.” See FLEA MARKET, Page 19

transformation from a 90pound weakling into a super solider doesn’t happen right away, so we’re given plenty of time to get to know him and like him for being more than just a guy who knocks around Nazis. He is deeply patriotic, but he also follows his heart. While current trends have made a lot of protagonists dark, brooding whiners, we’re instead treated to a kind, compassionate hero that you don’t have to feel guilty rooting for. That’s the Cap I know. The supporting characters are just as enjoyable to watch. Hayley Atwell plays Peggy Carter, a strong love interest that doesn’t need saving every five minutes, and Tommy Lee Jones barks the orders as the witty, no-nonsense Colonel Chester Phillips, a character who seemed to walk right out of war classics like “The Dirty Dozen” or “Kelly’s Heroes.” Stanley Tucci has some great scenes as Dr. Abraham Erskine, who selects Rogers for his super soldier experiment, but it is the villains that steal the show whenever possible. Hugo Weaving is always a memorable villain, as aptly displayed in “The Matrix” trilogy, so he was a natural fit for the mostly dastardly Nazi of them all, the Red Skull. While he’s not given enough screen time to really delve further into his evil motivations, he is given a cowardly sidekick in Dr. Arnim Zola, played by the underrated Toby Jones. The Red Skull runs HYDRA, the Nazis’ occult science division, and discovers a glowing cube of power (the Cosmic Cube, to comic fans) that leads to all kinds of futuristic technology invading the ’40s setting. After they had spent so much time establishing the time period, I felt that this was a bit distracting, and in reality, it was probably a cheap ploy to maintain younger audiences’ attentions. The special effects used to shrink Evans down for the opening were extremely well done and put the “Green Lantern” suit effects to shame. I also hoped to see Cap and the

Ogozaly is known in the area as the filmmaker behind “The Metro,” a documentary that chronicled the final days of popular Wilkes-Barre venue Cafe Metropolis. As WFTE’s music director, she has been contacting bands and labels to build up the station’s library, organizing it, and guiding their overall musical direction. The independent, non-profit station, found at 90.3 FM in Lackawanna and Wayne counties, has been relying mostly on volunteers to run their operation and has been raising money since last year to offer the area communityoriented programming with content not often covered by mainstream outlets. “We mostly hear one-onone from people, saying, ‘I listen to the station,’ ‘Good job,’ and stuff like that. We’re on a smaller scale right now, but we’re building our way up. Our original programming is created locally, so we’re getting there,” Ogozaly said. Currently at half its potential power, she said that at least 70,000 people can tune in to WFTE, but they hope to eventually reach five counties with more funding. The station hosts concerts and occasional poetry slam nights at the Irish Wolf Pub in downtown Scranton every Sunday to offset their costs, and they plan to hold movie nights and concerts in the studio itself as they continue to expand. The Punk Rock Flea Market seemed like another natural fit to benefit the progressive station, and Ogozaly believes its distinctiveness will be an added draw to the event. “I think we should get a good turnout. People are excited that we’re doing something a little bit different in Scranton,” she said. “We’ve had a good amount of interest, and the vendors are excited too. I know a lot of them are eager for it to happen, and hopefully, if this one goes well, we can do another one.”

Hayley Atwell plays Peggy Carter in ‘CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER,’ from Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment.

Skull share the screen a bit more so their final showdown would feel more personal. Then again, how many reasons do you need to fight a madman hell-bent on mass genocide? Watching Steve having to prove himself as more than just a cheesy symbol in tights more than made up for this. He has to earn the respect of his fellow soldiers, and the movie cleverly pokes fun at the character’s hokey origins in comics and movie serials while still delivering enough serious action sequences to carry the story. If there’s any major gripe I wish to mention at all, it would be the awful editing process this movie must have went through. As an effects man from both “Star Wars” and “Indiana Jones,” director Joe Johnston definitely brought some valuable experience into this project, but he also brought baggage like last year’s “The Wolfman” remake, which suffered greatly from the same type of disjointed, haphazard editing. Luckily, “Captain America” ends up flowing much better than that atrocity overall, and the Dr. Jones-like action in many sequences made me set that qualm aside. I now official-

While I greatly look forward to seeing the Captain, Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, Black Widow, and Hawkeye join forces, I hope that they will

all be given at least a quarter of the attention that our title character was given in this movie. Sure, big action is inevitably going to come from a big team, but it’s what brings them to this team, and what keeps them there, that’s going to hold our attention. At least mine, anyway.

riends With Benefits” is really like two people having sex without any obligations: Everything’s OK as long as you don’t need any emotional connection and just want the immediate gratification of a few jokes about romantic comedy cliches.

Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis play two driven young professionals who don’t have time for all the trappings of love and romance. They agree to become sexual partners purely for the physical act. Emotional baggage is to be left outside the door. But it wouldn’t be a romantic comedy if the plan worked. Director Will Gluck manages to generate enough laughs by taking shots at romantic comedies to get you through the night. He pokes fun at such standards as the wacky friend and the never-ending series of misunderstandings that lead to one big emotional moment where the couple faces their real feelings. Timberlake and Kunis have some chemistry and are at their best when they are trading snappy banter. A lot of that dialogue is delivered during sex scenes and the contrast works — for awhile. The sex scenes go on way too long and eventually just become a blur of flesh and funny. Gluck’s comedy “Easy A” — an assault on ’80s teen angst movies — had far more venom and, in turn, was funnier. He throws jabs at romantic comedies, but he never seems willing to deliver the knockout punch. That’s made clear through what is a very predictable ending. The director wanted to shatter gay stereotypes with the character Tommy, played by Woody Harrelson. The problem is that Harrelson is so over-the-top he becomes a cliche. The film wanders into some very good — but misplaced — moments with the parents of both partners. Jenna Elfman, Richard Jenkins and Patricia Clarkson turn in great dramatic performances that in any other film would be a bonus. “Friends With Benefits” does have something else going for it. Any movie that makes fun of Katherine Heigl’s growing list of bad romantic comedies is OK in my book.

“The festival is just such a fun, wonderful get together for the residents of St. Joseph’s, all of the volunteers, and the surrounding community,” said Judy Evans, head of the festival’s Public Relations Committee. Evans, who has been with St. Joseph’s for the past six years, has previously chaired the auction that the center holds during the fall.

Her company, Lee Electric Supply, volunteers at the festival every year. During the three-day festival, people can enjoy food, games, donate to the WNEPTV telethon and support meteorologist Joe Snedeker’s annual “Go Joe” bike ride through the region.

The family-oriented event will provide many outlets for children to have fun with including kiddie games and a new basketball game this year. “There are a million different kinds of booths, “Evans said. “It’s grown so much and it’s a really good time, especially for families.” With cuts in funding of all types to non-profit organizations, the fundraiser is more important than ever. The summer festival is the main fundraiser for St. Joseph’s each year. “Were lucky as far as a non-profit organization goes. We really have some great sponsors. This is going to be our biggest summer festival yet,” said Evans.

cisco were unavailable at press time. In addition, “Forged” will receive a red carpet premiere locally at Marquee Cinemas, 301 Lackawanna Ave., Scranton, on Friday, Aug. 12. Screenings will continue through at least Sunday, Aug. 14. “I wanted it to premiere inside the city. It’s a real tip of the hat to all of the people who helped the film,” Van Wie said. “Forged” is also due for release on DVD and Netflix in September. The abrasive story of redemption wasn’t originally supposed to be filmed in northeastern Pennsylvania, however. One month before shooting began in Texas, where the film was originally set, Van Wie and director Will Wedig let intiution drive the film. “Forged” is the story of Chuco, portrayed by Manny Perez, a man fresh from prison for killing his wife. Upon his release, he must redeem himself to his now-13-year-old son, Machito, played by David Castro. The story is built upon the “amazing story of a father and son,” Van Wie said. Shooting a Latino film in the flat landscapes of Texas was too cliché. “We thought it’d be interesting to put the backdrop as mountains and snow, this cold and desolate town that lost industry. It’s not that Scranton is that, but we could shoot that way,” Van Wie said. “Texas wouldn’t be a character in the film... In the final cut, you see Scranton as an overwhelming character.” Cooperation from local elected officials and the Scranton fire and police departments made securing unique locations like the Scranton Lace Building, Lackawanna County Prison, Bucktown Diner and South Side Bowl, much easier, Van Wie said. It also kept costs from skyrocketing, leaving the final cost of the film just under $1 million. The film was made by Wilkes-Barre-based Revere Pictures, which became JVW Inc. upon the company’s move to Scranton in January. Upcoming works include the “Joe Paterno Film Project,” an adaptation of the novel “The Lion in Autumn.” A separate documen-

Sunday, July 24, 2011 tary is currently in post-production and due for release in the spring of 2012, but Van Wie offered few details about that endeavor. In the meantime, JVW has worked on political campaigns, ads for attorneys and more. Income from those projects doesn’t simply fund creative pictures. It also keeps the eightman team working out of 515 Center St., Scranton. “I have a lot of guys in this office, and all I care about is their livelihood,” Van Wie said. He jokes that he’ll soon find failure after the unique success of “Forged” and “La Soga,” then lose touch with reality and become a “squirrel whisperer” of sorts on Courthouse Square. In truth, he hopes to find projects that challenge the team at JVW to perform at their best, even when standing on the “absolute cusp of total failure.” “I like taking big risks on projects,” he said. “Failure in itself can be a reward. From that point on, you learn what not to do. “There was no back-up plan to ‘Forged.’ It had to be sold.” He hopes to continue to work in the area and make profitable films where most of his budget can benefit local businesses. “We embraced the community to a means that we gave something to the community, not took something away. We left a lot here,” he said. “I don’t want to shoot anywhere else. I feel comfortable here, and Scranton has been nothing but gracious to me.”

Pet event aids humans too By TYLER MILES Go Lackawanna intern

CRANTON – Team Bark at the Park, who will host their second annual picnic event at Scranton’s Nay Aug Park on Sunday, July 31, hope to raise money and awareness for Griffin Pond animal shelter and the Lackawanna County American Red Cross. Last year’s Picnic in the Park was the first event held by co-chairs Krista Heusner and Michelle Snyder. The goal was to raise awareness and money for animals that need homes and the local adoption center. A total of $3,600 was raised and 30 dogs were adopted because of the event. “This year we changed it up a little. Not only are we helping animals and donating proceeds to Griffin Pond Shelter, we are also donating to the Lackawanna County Red Cross,” Heusner said. “Were helping both people and animals.” The event is also being held in memory of Team Bark Member Ross Ian Mackie who passed away suddenly of an illness last

year weeks after the first event, Snyder said. Heusner, who owns a rabbit, dog, and several fish, said the picnic will have a variety of vendors offering items like gourmet dog treats, while others will help would-be animal lovers register to adopt a dog. The Scranton Police Department will also showcase their K-9 unit during the event. Children’s games and pet portrait opportunities will also be available. Those that don’t mind some affection from their canine companions can line up for a kissing booth, too. “It’s for families, animal lovers - it’s for everybody,” Heusner said. Snyder and Heusner chose

Nay Aug Park as the location for the second year in a row due to its size and beauty. “It’s just a very nice park. There are a lot of things to do, it’s beautiful and there’s a lot of room for us to set up,” said Heusner. “We have over 90 vendors.” The two co-chairs hope to capitalize on last year’s success by creating raising even more money for both causes. The Red Cross Bloodmobile will also be at Nay Aug on July 31. There is no admission cost for the Picnic in the Park, but monetary donations and non-monetary donations of pet supplies are welcome. “There are cruel people out there that don’t take care of animals, and we need some place and someone that’s going to help to rescue these animals so they can be loved,” Heusner said. “The shelters help, but without us helping the shelters with them being non-profit and all, they don’t have the money or the supplies to do it on their own. They need assistance and that’s what we’re hoping to provide.”

Their mix of both soft and harder harmonies gave them a wider audience, a sound that Moore said came naturally as they grew. “I think that the sound sort of evolves as you play more. We knew that we wanted to sound like Rage Against the Machine and Silverchair and Incubus and all those bands that have really good rhythm sections and melodies, but how you actually

achieve it, I think, is just by playing all the time. Eventually, you become your own band,” he explained. Their first big break came in 2006 when Moore met Juan Mann while working in a mall. He watched as Mann held up a sign offering “free hugs” to strangers as a way to promote random acts of kindness. After they had become friends, Moore filmed Mann’s Free Hugs Campaign with his father’s camera and made a video for Mann as a “get well card” after his grandmother passed away, with Sick Puppies’ song “All the Same” playing over the footage. Once the video was shared on YouTube, it went viral and launched the band into the spotlight. While it is See PUPPIES, Page 30

On a train ride to visit his father, he had wrote “Sick Puppies” down as a possible name for the band he was forming, only to coincidentally find his father was reading a book called “Sick Puppy.” The name stuck despite the fact that the band’s sound has developed greatly since its inception. “When we started off, we were a lot more punk rock than we are now, and it really fit the musical direction of the band. But I think we’re lucky because it’s sort of a catch phrase that people use anyway, so it’s easy to remember.

Book manufacturing company founded in Scranton turns 100

By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES chughes@golackawanna.com

AYFIELD – Chris Hutchison still recalls the Saturday mornings when, at age 5, he’d enter P.A. Hutchison Co. with his father and sweep the floors for $1. Now, at age 41, Hutchison, of Dalton, oversees operations at one of the top mid-sized book manufacturers in the country.

P.A. Hutchison, whose primary manufacturing facility is located at 400 Penn Ave., Mayfield, was founded by Hutchison’s greatgrandfather, Philip Alvord Hutchison, in 1911 with a letter press at 135 N. Main Ave., Scranton. His grandfather, C.N. Hutchison, and father, Philip O. Hutchison, ran the business before Chris Hutchison became president in 1999. “It was very small, with maybe one or two guys,” Chris Hutchison said of the business’ beginnings. Now, the company has grown to employ 135 people and moved through four facilities including locations on Forest Court, Adams

Avenue and River Street before the move to Mayfield in 1995. The 150,000 square foot facility takes nearly 10 million books each year “from files to finished products,” Chris Hutchison said. The business makes approximately $27 million in annual sales of soft cover books. Large publishers including Kaplan, Wolters Kluwer, IBM and the federal government printing office are among their returning customers. “We’re a national company. We deal with a lot of different industries and all types of people. You really get a flavor for America every day in this job because you’re

touching so many different parts of the economy and the landscape,” Chris Hutchison said. As an only son, he was almost destined to take over P.A. Hutchison when the time was right, but he admits that he wasn’t always ready for the move to manufacturing. “Once I got to different positions within the company, I realized that I liked it a lot,” he said. “It was a big difference seeing it from the end of a machine every summer to seeing the whole picture. It’s pretty fastpaced and exciting.” In the last 12 years, P.A. HutchiSee BOOK, Page 30

challenging for anyone to break out in the American music industry, Moore and Anzai didn’t hesitate to move to California to start their career in earnest. “We didn’t think about it, and we didn’t look back,” Moore recalled. The viral video wouldn’t be the only way the band used modern media to gain attention. Sick Puppies provided the theme song used to promote the release of “Street Fighter IV,” a popular video game, and the WWE used “You’re Going Down” for a payper-view event and “SmackDown vs. Raw 2010” video game.

BORDERS IMPACT FELT The announced liquidation of Borders bookstores across the country, including the Scranton store, began Friday, July 22. P.A. Hutchison President Chris Hutchison said the local book manufacturer has felt but not been terribly affected by the closure of the retailer that operates 399 stores and employs 10,700 people. “We’ve been very fortunate thus far. We’re feeling it more so because some other people in our industry are feeling it. We strategically saw e-books and some of the fallout coming years ago, and we built our customer base in a way that would be unaffected as that transpired,” Hutchison said. “What’s yet to be seen is how long e-books last… A lot of consumers, I believe, will return to the printed book after trying the electronic.” The Associated Press reported Friday that 30 stores may remain open if a proposed bid by rival bookseller Books-A-Million goes through. The Birmingham, Ala.-based company is offering to buy the leases and assets of stores, including the shop in Scranton, and keep them open. The two chains are still in talks.

Along with hiring employees from Lackawanna County, P.A. Hutchison was the original printers of Happenings Magazine and The Paper Shop, according to Chris Hutchison. He and his wife, Sara, are the parents of two-month-old Hai-

ley Jo, and while it’s too early to tell if she’ll become the fifth generation of Hutchisons to lead the custom book manufacturer, one thing is certain. “She’s already got a full bookshelf,” Chris Hutchison said with a laugh.

Additionally, they appeared in “Rock Prophecies,” a 2009 documentary about the career of famous music photographer Robert Knight, who took a liking to the band and followed their development. The movie ended up serving as “a time capsule” of their career. “I think it’s definitely necessary to use all of the avenues now. I think we’re lucky because we have a slightly broader demographic than a lot of other rock bands,” Moore explained. “(Knight) had some stories and stuff, but after a while, you start being more interested in making your own stories.” Moore was also interested in feedback from his fans, which he said led to the creation of their 2009 album, “Tri-Polar.” In

March of this year, Sick Puppies released an accompanying acoustic EP called “Polar Opposite” with unplugged versions of their songs. When he is able to perform acoustically live, he said that is when he feels closest to his listeners. “It’s better for me because people actually listen more…and you can connect more. There’s a different vibe that you create, and then also the fans wind up being very respectful of the music,” he said. “There’s always that goal to connect to the people that listen to you, to make them feel something.” Having been warmly received in the area before, Moore is confident that the Aug. 1 show will be a success.

While that may be obvious to careful listeners, what many fans do not know is that Mars suffers from ankylosing spondylitis, a chronic form of arthritis that causes inflammation of his spine and pelvis. He said that he takes antiinflammatory drugs to help him get through sometimes grueling tour schedules, but mostly he is forced to work through the pain. “It still hurts. It still grinds now and then, but like I said, music is my whole passion. It’s what I do. It’s what I live for. I guess it keeps me alive,” he said. “I’m just happy to be here, to be able to make people happy, to make people smile and give them what I feel inside from my music…I hope you like this, and if you don’t, oh well.” Those who think that his

career may be winding down may also be surprised to learn that his musical aspirations are just beginning. “I think Motley was a giant stepping stone for me. I’m far from being over. I am going to do a solo album, but I am also going to make sure that it’s the right people that I want to play with. A lot of people will look at this record that I want to do and go, ‘I didn’t know Mick could do that.’ If it doesn’t come off that way, I won’t do it,” Mars said. On this tour, Motley Crue is offering audiences the chance to witness a 360 degree roller coaster drum solo and pyrotechnics that are “stupidly over the top,” but through it all, the quietest and most humble member of the group also hopes that fans will turn out for the music. “This is probably one of the biggest and best shows we’ve done since quite a long time. Even with ‘Red, White, & Crue’ and ‘Carnival of Sins,’ this is even better than that.”

Locals carry new MMA promoter debut WILKESBARRE TOWNSHIP – The debut of Mixed Martial Arts and the Mohegan Sun Arena July 16 was playing to relatively mixed reviews. With the best punch of his career, James Cianci elevated the energy level inside an arena that was more than twothirds empty. Rex Harris and Chase Owens took it from there with the most competitive and action-packed bout of the night, followed by yet another stirring Jimy Hettes win in the main event. Cianci, from Clarks Summit, and Hettes, a Swoyersville fighter who has built much of his career in Lackawanna County in the Cage Fight series that brought the sport to northeastern Pennsylvania, began and ended a closing stretch that made the card leave a far more favorable impression. Every growing sport faces the dilemma of when it belongs on a bigger stage. Maury Nehme and Chris Coyne of Northeast MMA promoted Cage Fights 1 through 8, often packing venues like Riverfront Sports and the Icebox Complex in Scranton while building the local momentum for the sport, making last week’s event possible. New promoters Jonathan Kernis and Mike Malast formed Mixed Martial Arts Super Sport (MASS) Productions and took the first stab at moving up to a larger arena. Mohegan Sun Arena seats 8,350 for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins hockey games and about 10,000 for concerts, which have the similar structure of floor seating available as what MMA was able to use. A crowd of about 2,600, like what MASS Productions gathered, would create a spectacle and ensure success in a smaller building, but it can poten-

tially create a different impression inside a much larger building. Fans paid as much as $100 for seats to watch the card, which featured nine fights, compared to the more than a dozen on a typical Cage Fight series card. More than 10 fights were originally projected, but the fight card was down to 10 by fight night and losing one more late is typical of many boxing and MMA

events. Of the 11 fighters named on the program cover, four, including Scranton’s Dave Morgan, did not compete. Morgan was out with a rib injury. The card started 40 minutes late and was moving along at a reasonably entertaining pace before Cianci got his shot. “I worked on my hands a lot training for this fight,” Cianci said. “I wanted to let them go.” He did just that. Cianci and Ryan Harder maneuvered around the cage cautiously, each trying to land punches. The first shot that either landed brought an end to the fight. Cianci’s vicious right hand to the chin sent Harder back into the cage. He bounced off and landed face down, leading to a quick stoppage at 55 seconds of the first round. “It’s great to be able to showcase all the work you put in,” Cianci said after improving to 3-0. Harris, a former Wilkes University wrestler from Ossining, N.Y., won his professional MMA debut, finally stopping Freeland’s Owens with 11 seconds left after they had traded top position throughout their bout. The most active and suspenseful bout of the night was a perfect lead-in to the main event. Hettes put his 7-0 pro record, including six first-round submissions, on the line against Jacob Kirwan, a Maryland fighter with wins in eight of his 10 bouts. Kirwan was on top of Hettes for much of the final two minutes of the first round. “The benefit I had is that I knew Jacob Kirwan was going to be real tough and it was going to be a war,” Hettes said. “Knowing that, I was prepared for anything.” Hettes took charge in the second round, eventually winning on a triangle choke hold tapout at 3:58. The card provided a poten-

tial stepping stone for those who want to consider bringing MMA events back to the arena and for Hettes, who has since committed to four future Ultimate Fighting Championship appearances. “We used to have to go out of state all the time,” Hettes said. “Just getting booed all the time, it takes a toll on you. “Fighters around here are

spoiled a little bit. The fans here are great. They know your name and cheer you on.” Hettes said he enjoyed the home-field advantage. It works both ways, however. Without performances like the ones Cianci and Hettes turned in, it would be impossible for even the most daring of promoters to build the sport.

Every growing sport faces the dilemma of when it belongs on a bigger stage… A crowd of about 2,600, like what MASS Productions gathered, would create a spectacle and ensure success in a smaller building, but it can potentially create a different impression inside a much larger building.

UNICO ALL-STAR GAME

Symons is

SUPER By TOM ROBINSON For Go Lackawanna

SPORTS

ARTS

CRANTON – When the North lost the lead that she had helped create, Erika Symons did not view it as a missed opportunity. Symons saw the opposite in the new situation. “When it’s tied, 2-2, that’s my favorite part of the game,” the Mid Valley graduate and Lackawanna College recruit said after being named Most Valuable Player for her role in the North’s 4-2 victory over the South in the girls’ game at the ninth annual UNICO Scranton Soccer Cup Friday night at the University of Scranton’s Fitzpatrick Field. “When it’s tied like that, you know you have to get something done. “I like that pressure.” Symons, who had scored in the first half to erase an early deficit, needed less than three minutes to create a response when the South forced a late 2-2 tie. North Pocono’s Corinne Glassman, playing defense for the South, made a strong recovery to chase down Symons and break up a prime scoring opportunity. Symons, however, never stopped. She won a battle with Glassman and Amanda Greene, the South goalie, managing to poke the ball loose. Forest City’s Alysa Borick took over from there, getting to the ball right in front of the goal from 10 yards out to strike the game-winning shot. “I’m a fighter,” Symons said. “If there’s a ball loose, chances are I’m going to be there.” Despite playing on a team that went just 10-41-1 during her fouryear career, Symons managed 102 goals at Mid Valley, scoring as many as seven in a game. In Friday’s game, the only Spartanette selected had the advantage of increased support. “The number-one thing that I was excited about was getting to

play with all the best of the best,” Symons said. “It was just unbelievable.” The make-up of her team changed, but Symons still found herself in the same role. “I came here to score,” she said. “That’s my job. “My teammates got me the ball.” Symons produced a goal and an assist to help the North offset a two-goal effort by Katie Iyoob, who helped Valley View to Lackawanna League Division 1 and District 2 Class AA championships. Iyoob scored on an assist from teammate Tory Legg on a corner kick about five minutes into the game. Symons took a pass from a teammate and dribbled through the middle of the South defense to tie the game in the 14th minute. Blue Ridge’s Hayley Rupakus picked up a loose ball about 30 yards out and went in for the goahead goal for the North 2:49 later. The game remained tied for 34 minutes until Iyoob converted a pass from North Pocono’s Sarah Wicker with 10:56 remaining. Symons put the North on top See UNICO, Page 42

77TH ANNUAL DREAM GAME

County counting on Kilpatrick, Lavage

By TOM ROBINSON For Go Lackawanna

GO LACKAWANNA FILE PHOTO

County coach Steve Jervis and City coach Nick Donato lead the area’s best football players into the July 27 Dream Game.

“Corey is going to be in there a great deal,” Jervis said. Jervis praised Talerico’s effort in getting to the majority of practices despite having to commute from West Chester University where he has already started taking classes. Fruehan and Talerico will share the strong safety position. Old Forge’s Brandon Souryavong, Lakeland’s Derrick Hanley, Valley View’s Joe Browning and Old Forge’s Conner Fultz are scheduled for significant twoway duty. Souryavong is a starting offensive tackle and is expected to share the middle linebacker spot with Hanley, the starting fullback. Browning and Fultz are set to split the free safety assignment and join Riverside’s Tommy Ar-

er Havirlak of Valley View and Josh Snyder of Abington Heights, along with Lavage, as the players who were defensive standouts at practice throughout the first week of preparation. Abington Heights halfback James Fruehan and Riverside quarterback Corey Talerico have been two of the offensive leaders, according to Jervis, and are both expected to contribute defensively. Both were1,000-yard rushers last season while earning allstate recognition, Fruehan for his defense and Talerico as the state Class A Player of the Year. Fruehan will be one of the two wingback/halfbacks in the wing-T offense. Mid Valley’s Chris Washo will get the quarterback start over Talerico, who originally was unsure if he would be able to play. Jervis, however, said Talerico would get equal time with the first unit.

ARTS

Both coaches indicated the likelihood of working their entire rosters through significant playing time, but when they projected their starting lineups, as of Friday afternoon, Kilpatrick and Lavage were the only two to have offensive and defensive spots to themselves. Kilpatrick, who helped Abington Heights win the Lackawanna Football Conference Division 1 and District 2 Class AAA titles, is a guard and defensive end for the County. “Guards are really important to our offense,” said Lackawanna Trail coach Steve Jervis, who is guiding the County team. “Kilpatrick and (Lakeland’s Derek) Fron are doing a great job up front.” Lavage is set to start at tight end and strong-side linebacker. After helping Riverside to the District 2 title and a berth in the state Class A championship game, Lavage is one of the reasons Jervis is happy with the way his defense is shaping up. Jervis pointed out linemen Tyl-

with 8:15 left and Mountain View’s Megan Walker added an insurance goal with 3:32 remaining. The North finished with leads of16-13 in shots and 3-2 in corner kicks. Mountain View’s Olivia Zick made five saves for the North while West Scranton’s Greene made seven for the South. The North squad included Symons, Borick, Forest City’s Rebecca Keller and Old Forge’s Jess Casey. The South team included Iyoob, Legg, Gabby Santarelli and Kristen Maslar from Valley View; Glassman, Wicker, Chelsea Kincel and Fjollza Shabani from North Pocono; Emily Burroughs and Torre Mitchell from Dunmore; Abbey Cadden from Abington Heights; Alynn Leo-

millay in a three-way rotation at the wide receiver position. West Scranton’s Tyler Hughes, Delaware Valley’s Josh Reynolds, Dunmore’s Jerry Hubshman, North Pocono’s Chris Isbitski, Dunmore’s Jimmy Pichariello and Holy Cross’ Kevin Watson have been some of the top performers at City practice. Hughes will run a one-back, shot-gun offense largely created to emphasize his talents at quarterback.

nard from Carbondale; Katie Sledzinski from West Scranton; and Kristen Pickering from Holy Cross. Because of the intense heat, the game was shortened from the scheduled 40-minute halves to 30-minutes halves that included breaks at the midway point. BOYS’ GAME The North overcame a late goal by Justin Klingman of Abington Heights to turn back the South, 3-1, in the boys’ game that completed the doubleheader. Klingman knocked in the rebound of a shot by Valley View’s Nick Milenkovski with 12:10 remaining to cut the North lead to 2-0. Honesdale’s Tom Cahill, who had scored the only goal of the first half, headed in a corner kick from North Pocono’s Josiah Buxton for the clinching goal with three minutes remaining. Cahill joined Symons as the MVPs, who received an award

named in memory of Al Dante. Dante, a former Scranton UNICO member and national UNICO president, was a supporter of the soccer all-star game. Western Wayne’s Andrew Green had a goal while Honesdale’s Jonah Fowler and Elk Lake’s Joey Woolcock added assists. The North led in shots, 23-15, and corner kicks, 4-1. Old Forge’s Jason Sniegowski made one save while holding the South scoreless in the first half.

Montrose’s Danny Simonds made three second-half saves. West Scranton’s Tyler Bonevitch made eight saves while playing more than half the game in goal for the South. Carbondale’s Jeremy Gagas made three saves and Lakeland’s Chris Vojick made one. Buxton, Keenan O’Connell and Jason McCauley from North Pocono; Sniegowski, Mike Polasky and Matt Coliani from Old Forge; and Adam Dix and Kevin Swartz from Forest City were

“Hughes is an outstanding player,” City coach Nick Donato said. “He’s quick with a great arm. He’s as talented as everybody thinks.” Like Talerico, Reynolds was once thought to be unavailable. After a communications mixup, he joined the City in time for the second practice and is set to join Hubshman, who is headed to Division I Championship Subdivision school Stony Brook, as starting guards. Isbitski, who is headed to East Stroudsburg University, has been one of the City’s top defensive performers as an end. He will be joined up front by Watson, a tackle.

The performance of Pichariello, the only true halfback on the City roster, has made Donato more comfortable with that position. Hughes should have plenty of help from the other skill positions. Donato also praised the efforts of North Pocono fullback Greg Sporko, and two receivers Hughes knows well, West Scranton tight end Tim Langan and wide receiver Ray Dominguez. Donato has decided to go with entirely different starters offensively and defensively. Hubshman and Reynolds are likely to be joined in the offensive front by tackles Peter Calderone of North Pocono and Pat Watson

of Holy Cross and center Gaetano Bruno of Wallenpaupack. Langan and Scranton Prep’s Pat Murray will share tight end duties in the multiple-formation offense. Sporko and Pichariello are the backs, depending on formation. The team will use up to three receivers at a time, with Dominguez joining North Pocono’s Nick Bell and Frankie DePietro. Isbitski and Kevin Watson are part of a defensive front that also includes Dunmore’s Joe Sabia at tackle. West Scranton’s Tyrek Matthews and Scranton’s Jesse Wilson Kellogg will probably share the other end spot. Susquehanna’s Nick Marco is

The South roster was: Klingman from Abington Heights; Milenkovski from Valley View; Bonevitch, Greg Gianacopoulas and Wilson Toruno from West Scranton; Vojick, Taylor Chiesa, Ian Hoyle and Jim Marcinko from Lakeland; Gagas, Michael Balinas and Jeff Cosklo from Carbondale; Colin King and Michael Kranick from Dunmore; Scott Steblinski from Mid Valley; and Joseph Cicco and Edward Yevics from Holy Cross. the middle linebacker with Delaware Valley’s Adam Manzoni and West Scranton’s Ian Lotz on the outside. Scranton Prep’s Cory Curmaci and Delaware Valley’s Max Gonzalez are cornerbacks. Dunmore’s Morgan Holmes is the free safety with Susquehanna’s Dan Kempa at strong safety. Among the other County starters are: Western Wayne center Zack Landherr, Riverside tackle Alex Pucilowski, Western Wayne halfback Josh Harrison, Old Forge linebacker Michael Tagliaferri, Mid Valley defensive tackle Mike Chaput and Carbondale cornerbacks Michael Torch and Carmen Carachilo.
