Some choose to seal their own fate I was saddened last week to learn that downtown Scranton had lost one of its local theatrical venues. Citing economic factors, “exploding competition” from other forms of entertainment, the loss of several directors and board members, and the failure for the presentation of a popular proposal on how to carry on, the Electric Theatre Company announced on its website on Aug. 6 that its 19th season would be its last. I had written several pieces on ETC early in my career, and now, I’ll never have the opportunity to
BEHIND THE BYLINES CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES again. The goals and vision in the Go office change modestly from time to time. To survive as a modern paper of record, change is a necessity. In that respect, we’re looking more closely at local performing and visual artists in order to give them a venue and a voice. I can’t say whether I’m more disappointed in our inability to aid ETC in some way or in the outright refusal of coverage from another area theater
company. This week, one of our reporters was to tell you about an upcoming show at the Corner Bistro Dinner Theater in Carbondale. You won’t see it in print. After several phone calls placed since Monday, the reporter finally reached a human being Friday morning. He was hung up on when he asked to interview someone about the show. “Bad connection,” I thought as I told him to call again. “No, we didn’t get disconnected,” the responder on the other end told the reporter as he hung up a second time. Excuse me if I sound indignant, but who these days turns down what es-
sentially equates to a free ad? There’s no hook, no line, and no sinker towards writing about local arts and entertainment. There should be no hidden advertising rates when you get a call from a reporter. Writing about arts events, bluntly, does two things. It helps us give readers a glimpse into a community where we may not have a municipal meeting reporter stationed, and it helps support those groups who, perhaps, can’t afford traditional advertising. I don’t know if the Corner Bistro’s new show will be a financial success. Clearly, that is their owner’s or manager’s decision, not mine.

CRANTON – For more than a decade, federal prosecutors say, Mark Ciavarella perpetrated a “profound evil” upon juveniles in Luzerne County, unjustly incarcerating them as part of a scheme to enrich himself. On Thursday, the tables turned against the 61-year-old former judge as he found himself on the receiving end of a 28-year prison sentence that in all likelihood assures he will spend essentially the rest of his life in prison. He was also ordered to pay nearly $1.2 million in restitution. Ciavarella, his family and others in
the courtroom showed little reaction when the sentence was read. At Ciavarella’s request, he was taken immediately into custody. He was transported by federal marshals to an unknown facility to await transfer to a federal prison that will be designated at a later date. U.S. District Judge Edwin Kosik imposed the sentence following a roughly hour-long hearing at which Ciavarella first apologized to all those he had harmed, then turned defiant as he again denounced the “kids for cash” moniker with which he has been branded. Ciavarella was convicted in February of12 of 39 counts, including rack-
eteering, money laundering, mail fraud and tax evasion relating to his acceptance of nearly $1 million from Robert Mericle, the builder of the PA and Western PA Child Care juvenile detention centers. Addressing the court, Ciavarella acknowledged he illegally accepted money from Mericle. But he denied that he ever jailed a juvenile in exchange for cash, or that he violated the civil rights of youths who appeared before him. He apologized to his family, the citizens of Luzerne County, his former colleagues on the bench and probaSee JUDGE, Page 10

WILKES-BARRE TWP. – Gov. Tom Corbett toured the Lord & Taylor distribution center on Friday, where he joined company executives and employees to announce plans to open a call center at the facility which will bring 122 new jobs to the local economy with the promise of more to come. “I am committed to fostering the pro-growth, pro-business environment that will ensure Lord & Taylor’s continued economic contribution to this region,” Corbett said. “When government works as an ally to business, instead of working against them, we all succeed. This distribution center is a great example of that success.” A job fair will be held at the facility on Highland Boulevard from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Aug. 27. Bill Tracy, senior vice president of supply chain and logistics for Hudson’s Bay Co. and Lord & Taylor said the 122 new jobs will bring total employment to over 300. The jobs will pay around $10 per hour with differentials for night shift. “We are bringing these jobs back to Wilkes-Barre from Toronto and India,” Tracy said. “This is about a $1.2 million investment for our company.” Lord & Taylor received a $376,900 funding offer from the state Department of Community and Economic Development, including a $200,000 opportunity grant, $54,900 in job training assistance and $120,000 in job creation tax credits.

We have to keep our fiscal responsibility.” Founded in 1826, Lord & Taylor is America’s oldest department store and remains one of the nation’s premier retailers. Corbett’s three-day tour of the Northeast region included exploring Pennsylvania’s natural resources while kayaking on the Susquehanna River. State Rep. Gerald Mullery, D-Newport Township, joined Corbett on an eight-mile kayak ride on the Susquehanna River in Luzerne County and asked for help for flood-damaged Plymouth and Plymouth Township. Both communities sustained extensive damage during flash flooding earlier this year, but financial assistance has been unavailable to help with cleanup and rebuilding. “The governor expressed concern for the people of Plymouth and Plymouth Township, and said his staff will take another look to see if anything could be done,” Mullery said. “While he could not make any promises, I appreciate the governor’s time and concern for my constituents.”

Site work on the new threestory, 150,000 square foot office facility has already begun, but in order to meet their telecommunication needs, dual source telecommunication lines must be built and part of those four conduit lines must be located underground. The Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce’s industrial development arm, the Scranton Lackawanna Industrial Building Company, will construct the lines at no cost to the county and then turn over ownership to the administration. With state funding set to expire on Sept. 15, the work has to begin immediately. “This project could have went to Texas, but they decided to consolidate their offices in the Dunmore facility…and our Scranton Enterprise Center on Lackawanna Avenue and put everything under one roof,” Chamber Vice President Andrew
Skrip explained. “We had to provide incentives. Governor Corbett did with a $4.5 million grant. We did. We’re preparing the site as we speak to bring the jobs here instead of to another state,” he continued, adding that the Keystone Opportunity Zone was also an incentive. TMG currently employs 900 people in the Scranton and Dunmore call centers, and when the new facility is completed, the Business Process Outsourcing firm plans to hire an additional 400 workers – a number they plan to double over time. This project will make TMG the largest office employer in the county, Skrip noted in a July 28 letter to the commissioners. “We hope to be up to 800 new jobs here in Lackawanna County due to the TMG growth spurt,” Commissioner Corey O’Brien said. “Government has a role with respect to infrastructure, and if we can create that infrastructure, that infrastructure can spur private sector job growth.” Commissioners also unanimously approved a $59,250 project development agreement with Conxx, Inc. to begin design development, tower surveys, line-of-sight requirements, and preliminary assessments needed to obtain exact total project costs for the commissioners’ proposed county-wide wireless network. The project was first announced at a public hearing on
Feb. 7. The Department of Defense-certified encrypted system would utilize dishes and the county’s existing emergency towers to cut down on costs and issues associated with wired connections by creating a wireless “blanket” over the county for government use. “The $59,250 will be paid for by money saved in my telecommunications budget by adapting new technology to drastically reduce cost in my information technology budgets. Therefore, this total payment will be budget neutral and will not incur any more debt,” County Director of Information Technology Jeff Mando said. “The project itself could bring jobs to the area. It could actually save businesses money. It could save the county money. It could generate revenue.” Additionally, O’Brien said, the wireless “umbrella” could be used for 911 emergency services and in police vehicles. The private sector could then utilize or possibly rent the infrastructure, he added, much in the same way that TMG will use the telecommunication lines built by SLIBCO and the county. Its primary use and goal, however, would be to save the county money and provide services “faster and better.” “We’re building a highway in fiber. We’re building a highway in technology,” O’Brien said. “We’re building a highway that the private sector could utilize. It would be private sector run, private sector operated. The government wouldn’t have anything to do (with it) if it went in that direction.”

ARCHBALD - Last month, Quinn’s Market in Archbald held its second annual fundraising event, “Come ‘Sale’ Away,” with visits from local vendors and sales. A portion of proceeds from the event that ran from July 12 to 16. were given to Griffin Pond Animal Shelter in Clarks Summit. Along with a variety of giveaways and promotional visits from mascots including a two ton cow from Turkey Hill, Quinn’s manage Rich Hayes, a resident of Pleasant Mount, embarked on a 25-mile bicycle ride. This was the first ride for the event by Hayes, 29, who said
that he hopes similar rides will be a part of future events. Hayes traveled from the Pittston Quinn’s up the valley to the Archbald location of the grocery store. He stopped at Shur Save locations along the way where five gallon water jugs were placed. “Leading up to the bike ride, I was out there just about every day I could,” Hayes said. “It’s a win-win for everybody. People will give to animals sometimes before they give to people. Their generosity toward the shelter has been staggering.” In total Hayes raised almost $1,300 for the Griffin Pond Animal Shelter, including $500 from the ride itself.

Eagle Scout earns national academic grant By ROBERT TOMKAVAGE Abington Journal staff
FACTORYVILLE - Justin Clarke, 18, was recently awarded a $2,500 Cooke Academic Grant by the National Eagle Scout Association (NESA). Clarke will be featured in the winter issue of Eagle Scout Magazine. “I was really excited when I found out that I had won,” he said. “It was a pretty selective process. I was one of only a few that got it from this area. I didn’t know about the magazine until after I won. That was even cooler knowing that my name and face will be in a magazine that
goes out to kids all over the country.” According to the association website, scholarship committees are formed each year in each of the four Boy Scouts of America Clarke regions (Northeast, Southern, Central and Western) to recommend recipients for the scholarships, with the final determination made by the national Scholarship Committee. More than 5,000 applications are received each year, and fewer than 150 awarded.
Clarke, who started Cub Scouts in the first grade will study wildlife biology at Keystone College beginning this fall. The Lackawanna Trail graduate was a member of the cross country and track and field teams, and he plans on continuing his athletic career. He said it was a challenge to balance his extracurricular activities and maintain good grades in school. “I took a lot of AP classes, but still managed to get my work done and get good grades while still having fun and participating in sports,” he said. He also maintained honors through
high school while finding time to complete community projects for the Boy Scouts. “I learned a lot of valuable things that you won’t learn in a classroom,” Clarke said of his activities in the scouts. For his Eagle Scout project, Clarke designated an educational wetlands area at the Clinton-Factoryville Joint Municipal Park. He built a path to the creek and several benches, signs that designated different types of trees, and brochures that identify different plants along the river. Justin is the son of Robert and Christy Clarke.

SCRANTON - Several charges against Scranton police officer Mark Miller, 32, were held for court following the resolution of his July preliminary hearing on Thursday morning. Miller was originally charged June 16 with terroristic threats, official oppression, simple assault, disorderly conduct and harassment. An additional riot charge was filed June 29 and dis-
missed Thursday in court, along with a second count of simple assault. The charges stem from an alleged physical altercation at the V-Spot Night Club, 906 Providence Rd., Scranton, on June 12. Miller is currently on unpaid administrative leave from the police department pending the completion of an internal investigation into the incident, according to Chief Dan Duffy. Some charges were also held
against Scranton residents Sean Manley, 28; Chris Kahanic, 26; and Brian Gannon, 27. Manley faces simple assault, disorderly conduct, and harassment. Kahanic and Gannon each face one count of disorderly conduct. The decision comes after a July 12 preliminary hearing before Magisterial District Judge Theodore Giglio that lasted for more See MILLER, Page 10

Wally had previously resigned his position with the district in February, and he has since permanently surrendered his teaching license.
Dealer sold to undercover cops on four occassions By MATT MORGIS Go Lackawanna intern
SCRANTON - A local drug-dealer known as “PDog” allegedly sold heroin to members of the Scranton Police Department on four different occasions. Bracey Louis, 35, of Ferdinand Street, has been charged with four counts of delivery of a controlled substance, two counts of possession and one count of criminal use of a communication facility. According to the affidavit: Scranton police started a two week investigation in July on Louis, who was known for selling heroin in the area.
An undercover officer was introduced to the dealer through a confidential informant. The officer then made contact with Louis four different times, buying heroin at every meeting. After the deals were completed, police had enough evidence to secure a search warrant for Louis’ home. During the search police found plastic bands used for holding drugs, a razor blade using for cutting the drugs, as well as many other drug-related materials. Louis was arraigned on Aug. 10 and is being held for a lack of $10,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is set for Aug. 18.

SCRANTON – A sevenweek old infant’s father has been charged with homicide after he allegedly tossed the baby into the air and shook him to death. Michael Nice, 23, of North Rebecca Avenue, faces charges of simple assault, endangering the welfare of a child and criminal homicide. According to the affidavit: Police responded to a 911 call reporting a deceased infant late on Aug. 9. Leon Nice, who was born on June 27, was reportedly not breathing and had no pulse when he was transported to Moses Taylor Hospital where he was later pronounced dead. Mr. Nice told police he was home alone with his two sons on Tuesday night. He put Leon to bed just before 4:30 p.m. and checked on them about 30 minutes later. The infant was not breathing, and Mr. Nice be-
gan to perform CPR until his girlfriend arrived home after 5 p.m. and asked her to call 911. Mr. Nice later told officers that he was angry when Leon and his brother, Deamon, were both crying. He set Deamon on the floor and continued to carry Leon. He admitted that, after a few minutes, he grew angrier at the infant and began “tossing Leon in the air a few times” and then stated he “lost it” and “started to shake Leon until Leon calmed down.” When police asked Nice how he shook his child, he “made two fists in front of his body” and moved them back and forth quickly “while gritting his teeth.” He told police he fed Leon a bottle before putting him to bed. When he checked on the infant, he “wasn’t breathing and was pale.” Nice was arraigned on Aug. 10, and is being held without bail. A preliminary hearing is set for Aug. 17.

Bells tolled from St. Ann’s Basilica at 9:39 a.m. as the hearse carrying Staff Sgt. Dolphin traveled up St. Ann’s Street from De Sales Avenue and under a large American flag suspended from Engine 1 and Truck 2 of the Scranton Fire Department. The hearse was led by a motorcade that included the Pennsylvania State Police, Dunmore Police Department, Friends of the Forgotten and more. Surrounded by family, Staff Sgt. Dolphin’s widow, Lindsey, a Scranton native, breathed a heavy sigh as an honor guard of Marines carried his casket into St. Ann’s. The Rev. Don Williams, current chaplain of Misericordia University and former pastor of St. Eulalia’s Church in Elmhurst whereStaffSgt.Dolphinwasanaltarserver, recalled the Marine as a very focused young man. “I remember in my days at St. Eulalia’s when we would come together and many of Patrick’s peers were searching and struggling about career paths and college choices. It was all figured out for him. He wanted to be a Marine. That’s it,” Williams said. “I

Some of it was for North Pocono High School and graduating from high school, but most of the decorations and all of the celebration wasaboutPatrick’snextstepinlife,whathe believed he was called to do with a tremendous sense of patriotism.” Dolphin graduated from North Pocono in 2000 and almost immediately joined the USMC. “With our heavy hearts, we are challenged,” Williams said. “We owe this to Patrick, to join our hearts and voices in celebrating a life very generously lived.” Family and fellow Marines read excerpts of the poem “If I Ever Go to War,” ending with the stanza, “And when I go to heaven and see the pearly gates, I’m glad to decline the entrance to stand my post and wait. ‘I’m sorry, sir, I cannot come in. I’m sort of in a bind. You see, I’m still a Marine, sir, and I can’t leave my men behind.’” Outside St. Ann’s, Scranton resident Diana Harris said she was impressed with Dolphin’s record of service and the outpouring of support shown by the region following

Angel and John Lubeck, of Blakely, held the event in honor of their son Lance Cpl. John Lubeck Jr., at Molly’s Cozy Corner, 1324 Prospect Ave, Scranton. Lubeck, Jr., was recently deployed to Afghanistan. Mrs. Lubeck said she uses the fundraisers as a way to keep busy during her son’s deployment.
She said that when she learned her son was leaving for Afghanistan, she “cried and cried - every day, all day.” “My son is in Afghanistan. He’s an only child, and now my husband and I are empty nesters,” she said. “It’s going to be a long 7 months. “I realized that I’m going to go insane, so I had to take my negative energy and make it positive and do something to benefit him and the others.” The project has kept the Lubeck family so busy that they make almost daily trips to their local post office. Mrs. Lubeck
said she normally send two types of care packages. One contains a few hundred dollars’ worth of snacks. The other is filled with hygiene products, things like baby wipes, socks, and deodorant. Mrs. Lubeck also plans to buy books to for the Marines before the county’s only bookstore, Borders, closes down for good. “A lot of them are asking for books, I have a big list,” she said. “They love books; they need some kind of release. My son has his laptop. I guess they have some kind of library for movies so they all stand around his lap-
top and watch movies when they have time.” The Aug. 6 fundraiser was the first that the Lubecks had conducted in Scranton. A friend of theirs who knew Molly’s Cozy Corner owner Bill Rogers, and he happily agreed to hosting the event. “I think it’s a great thing. It’s not only good for the neighborhood to support local Marines, but it’s good for the bar as well. It’s a community effort,” Rogers said. Despite heavy rain last weekend, the Lubecks still attracted quite a crowd.

MILLER than four hours. Giglio took precaution to review transcripts of the hearing before arriving at Thursday’s decision. According to affidavits against the men, Miller, Gannon and Kahanic attempted to enter the V-Spot while carrying alcohol, according to security guard Matthew Sobieski. Miller and Gannon said that they were “Scranton cops,” and Gannon allegedly showed him a fake badge as he is not employed by the department. After Miller was asked to show his police badge a second time, he allegedly began fighting with Robert Ruddy, an offduty security guard for the bar, and Michelle Smolskis. Miller allegedly punched the two and was “stepping on their chests.” According to Sobieski, when Miller was not allowed into the club he replied, “Oh yeah, (expletive), I’m a Scranton cop.” Miller also allegedly told Sobieski said that “if anything
happens to him, he will ‘(expletive) Mr. Sobieski up,’” according to the affidavit. At the preliminary hearing, Sobieski said the men smelled of alcohol and were also denied entry as they were underdressed per the business’ dress code. Part of the July testimony including statements from Lackawanna County Det. John Munley and a surveillance video from the club that was later entered into evidence. Defense lawyers requested to view the recording several times before Munley took the stand. Each witness admitted to having seen the video beforehand, and Sobieski swore his testimony would match the tape. Surveillance footage from the V-Spot showed Miller showing his badge at the door and later striking Smolskis and Ruddy, as well as Manley hitting Ruddy in the face twice. Miller and his attorney, Jason Shrive, declined comment following Thursday’s proceedings. Miller is due back in court for a pre-trial conference on Sept. 23.

tion department employees. He also apologized to juveniles who appeared before him, saying he hoped they could forgive him “for being a hypocrite by not practicing what I preached.” Takes the offensive But just moments later, he launched into an attack on the government’s case, accusing Assistant U.S. Attorney Gordon Zubrod of coining the “kids for cash” phrase and of spewing mistruths that portrayed him as “the personification of evil” and the “anti-Christ.” “He uttered these words, knowing full well there was little or no evidence of me receiving a dime to send a child into placement,” Ciavarella said. Ciavarella also denounced reports by special investigative panels that determined he had denied juveniles their constitutional rights, leading the Supreme Court to vacate the convictions of roughly 5,000 juveniles who appeared before him
from 2003 to 2008. “My courtroom was conducted in a fair and reasonable manner. These kids were not denied their rights. They had a right to counsel. They had a right to confront witnesses,” Ciavarella said, eliciting hushed expressions of disgust from the roughly 100 people who packed the courtroom. Prosecutor’s argument It was that defiance and refusal to accept responsibility that warranted a sentence that would ensure Ciavarella spends the rest of his life in prison, Zubrod told Kosik. Zubrod said the evidence showed Ciavarella and fellow former judge Michael Conahan used their power to strong-arm Robert Powell, the owner of the PA and Western PA Child Care, into paying them money. Zubrod said Ciavarella regularly confronted Powell with admission information from the two centers, telling him “you’re making a lot of money from the kids we send you. You owe us.” “It seems to me Mr. Ciavarella says I was not selling kids retail. We agree. We think he was selling them wholesale,” Zubrod
said. Ciavarella’s attorneys, Al Flora and William Ruzzo, objected to Kosik’s decision to consider Ciavarella’s actions in juvenile court in determining what sentence to impose in the federal case. ‘Just and fair’ U.S. Attorney Peter J. Smith said he felt Kosik properly considered all factors and the sentence was “just and fair.” Ciavarella’s defiant attitude likely didn’t earn him any favor with Kosik, Smith said. “It indicated no true remorse and a blind unwillingness to admit to the overall seriousness of his conduct,” Smith said. He also refuted Ciavarella’s contention that the government had failed to show his incarceration of juveniles was connected to the money he received. Ciavarella’s sentencing appears to now clear the way for the sentencing of Conahan, who pleaded guilty in July 2010 to one count of racketeering conspiracy, as well as Mericle and Powell, who also pleaded guilty to charges related to the scandal.

NEWS BRIEFS Corbett kayaks on Susquehanna Using the historic and massive Nicholson Viaduct as a backdrop, Gov. Tom Corbett on Wednesday talked about his day of kayaking on the Susquehanna River and the value of Pennsylvania’s natural beauty. “Pennsylvania’s beautiful natural resources are important, not only for those of us who live here, but also to attract visitors,” Corbett said. “Those visitors – whether they are enjoying outside recreational activities in our state parks, or patronizing local businesses – all are essential to our local economies.” The governor chose Northeastern Pennsylvania for his three-day kayak tour to personally experience the natural beauty and other local highlights that the state has to offer residents and visitors. - BILL O’BOYLE / THE TIMES LEADER Former Lakeland official pleads guilty The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced Wednesday that the former Director of Transportation for the Lakeland School District pleaded guilty to conspiracy to obtain school district funds by fraud in connection with transportation contracts he recommended from 2006 to 2009.

District may reconsider LERTA SCRANTON – The Scranton School Board of Directors has recently directed its solicitor, Atty. Harry McGrath, to look into the commercial aspect of the Local Economic Revitalization Tax Act program within the city’s boundaries. The previous LERTA program was dissolved in 2003, according to McGrath, and was the genesis behind the Mall at Steamtown. LERTA, at its core, is a tool for future tax generation that provides developers with a real estate tax freeze, as opposed to a tax elimination offered through the Keystone Opportunity Zone program. Developers continue to pay current tax rates while they work to improve certain areas within the city. The program must be approved via signature by at least two of the taxing bodies including the city of Scranton, the dis-
SCRANTON – Seeking information, nearly 300 workers from teachers to clerical workers gathered at Scranton High School on Monday evening for a meeting of the Scranton School Board of Directors and left empty handed. The district, which begins classes on Wednesday, Sept. 7, has yet to announce their plans to address a $5.5 million shortfall caused by cuts to public education in Gov. Tom Corbett’s inaugural budget. Superintendent William King said Monday that planning for the 2011-12 school year has been delayed by the passage of Corbett’s budget, although districts across the commonwealth had braced for cuts since March. “We couldn’t move forward until we knew what our budget was going to look like exactly and what type of cuts we were facing,” King said. In March, the district told residents that cuts could affect programs like full-day kindergarten, after-school tutoring, dual enrollment programs and junior
high school sports. Maintaining the kindergarten program, in place since the 1960s, has been high on the board’s priority list. Directors asked for patience from their employees Monday evening, but Scranton Federation of Teachers President Rosemary Boland said Tuesday that patience isn’t part of the problem. “Either there are going to be teachers in classrooms or there aren’t going to be teachers in classrooms.…Programs will be funded or they won’t be funded,” Boland said. “What does patience have to do with knowing what you’re doing?” SFT Secretary-Treasurer Kevin Kays said the district will realize $4.2 million if each of the 79 resignations approved May 23 were filled with new hires because of starting contracts. “Somebody has to sit down and just do the math,” Boland said. “This is work that should have been done in the spring.” King said the board is expected to meet Monday, Aug. 15, at 7 p.m. at the administration building, 425 N. Washington Ave., Scranton.

trict and Lackawanna County. If approved, it will be in place for five years unless the term is reduced by a subsequent resolution. The district was asked to consider the program to pave the way for a planned nursing home in North Scranton, according to Wilkes-Barre-based Atty. Frank Hoegen, but the district has also received interest “by two groups,” McGrath said. The plan from Affordable Senior Housing Opportunities of New York, Inc., is to convert a portion of the former Daron Northeast site into a 124-unit senior apartment building on Delaware Street and Dickson Avenue in the city’s Green Ridge section. The between $8 and $10 million project would rely heavily on the tax break. “In order to keep rents at a marketable rate, some form of tax relief was necessary,” Hoegen said. Members of the city’s plan-

ning commission and redevelopment authority did not attend Monday’s public hearing, but Hoegen said city and county planners “would like follow suit” if the district approved the tax abatement. “They, like you, would like to see positive development in the city,” he said. Scranton resident James Dougher, Jr., was among those who spoke against the suggested plan. “What we really need is industry… Industry creates jobs, which creates revenues,” Dougher said. Marie Schumaker, another city resident, said she is “vehemently opposed” to giving a LERTA certification to the entire city of Scranton unless it would also apply to residential properties to spur revitalization in neighborhoods. Board members seemed to lean in favor of supporting LERTA to aid the senior housing initiative. “I can only see our senior population increasing,” Board President Bob Lesh said.

repainted and reinstalled. The bell was completed in April. Members of the Knights of Columbus council were surprised that the process didn’t cost more. They received $2,100 in donations to cover initial costs, and the final refurbishing process cost about $3,300. To offset remaining costs, the Knights of Columbus are tentatively planning an Oct. 13 spaghetti dinner this fall. Residents

within a week the group had it sent to the McShane Bell Foundry in Glen Burnie, Md. “We didn’t want to lose it, so we worked as fast as we could to make arrangements,” Samuel said. The bell was taken apart, sandblasted using walnut shells to eliminate the possibility of scratches, polished seven times and sealed with a protective coat after the yoke was recast,
stained glass doors from St. John’s, and side doors from the former St. David’s Church are in place at St. Patrick’s. Various statues and chalices have been distributed to either St. Patrick’s or the Immaculate Heart of Mary Chapel on Oram Street, Samuel said. “I think it kind of holds the people together. I think that’s what we felt would hold St. John’s to St. Patrick’s and keep some kind of an association there,” Samuel said. He added that the bell has been rung several times, including during the June rededication event. “It still has the nice tone that it had when it was up in the tower.”

SCRANTON - The bell that served as a call to worship for generations of followers of the Catholic faith in West Scranton has found a place of honor near a former fellow church. The steeple bell from St. John the Baptist Church, which stood at the corner of Main Avenue and Luzerne Street from 1884 until its closure on Oct. 17, 2004, was recently restored by the original bell foundry and placed outside of St. Patrick’s rectory on Jackson Street. Albert J. Samuel III, of Scranton, grand knight of the Holy Family Council 13025 of the Knights of Columbus, said the bell was rededicated Saturday, June 25. Auxiliary Bishop-Emeritus John Dougherty, the Rev. Peter O’Rourke, Msgr. Arthur Kaschenbach and the Rev. Stephen Krawontka presided over the rededication. The ceremony marked the end of a yearlong process to save the bell from a less than admirable fate. The Knights of Columbus learned in July 2010 that the parish planned to sell the bell, but
can also send donations to Knights of Columbus, Holy Family Council 13025, P.O. Box 20022, Scranton, Pa., 18502. Future modifications include a small plaque or monument to the church built in 1885. The bell was ordered in Jan. 1886 by the Rev. Frederick Fricker, founding pastor, at a cost of $400. The same bell today would cost approximately $26,000, according to Samuel. “If they ever sold that bell, they wouldn’t know what they were selling,” he said. The bell is the latest piece of the former parish churches that have been moved into the remaining facilities in St. Patrick’s Parish. The altar and tabernacle from Holy Cross Church,

Locals strike as talks break down SCRANTON – Local employees of Verizon Communications, Inc., were among the 45,000 workers on strike across the country when negotiations for a new labor contract broke down, demonstrating downtown on Monday with signs accusing their employer of “corporate greed.â€? The contract, which expired at midnight on Aug. 6, covers workers in Verizon’s wireline division, which includes localphone operations, services for businesses and governments, and long-haul wholesale traffic. Verizon is the largest wireless carrier in the United States, and the Scranton and Wilkes-Barre offices handle customer service and operator assistance. “Nothing was moving. They’ve been bargaining since June (22) and there was no leeway. Nothing was being resolved. There was no compromise. It was at a standstill,â€? strike captain Julie Brominski said while picketing behind the Verizon customer service center at 121 Adams Ave. in downtown Scranton. “A lot of this is just job security. We want to keep our jobs, keep them here, and keep good jobs with health care. We want to protect the middle class because collective bargaining, it seems, is going away, and we want to keep it.â€? Workers and supporters wearing red shirts gathered for a demonstration on Courthouse Square and walked with protest signs in front of and behind the Adams Avenue location. A Verizon employee for 20 years, Brominski believes that she and her co-workers are only asking for what they deserve after years of dedication. “I feel that we all work very hard‌. We’re not asking for anything crazy – a nice wage, good benefits, and to keep our jobs here. A lot of it is being outsourced,â€? she explained. “We’re bringing money into the company. We’re the front line as customer service. We’re the ones selling the products and bringing in the income. It’s only fair.â€? Don Engleman, president of Communications Workers of
America Local 13000 Unit 34, told The Times Leader that he and the 147 other members of the local bargaining unit would continue demonstrating outside the Verizon office on South Main Street in Wilkes-Barre “as long as it takes� and until the strike is over, though they are “ready to go back to work as soon as progress is made at the bargaining table.� Another Courthouse Square demonstration was held on Friday by Scranton employees and members of Northeast Pennsylvania Area Labor Federation and NEPA Citizens in Action. The CWA contends that talks in Philadelphia and New York broke down after Verizon demanded over 100 unjustified concessions from workers regarding health care, pensions, and work rules, citing the company’s $27.5 billion second quarter profit. Engleman said top Verizon management was paid about $268 million of that amount. Workers covered by the expired contract include 10,000 employees represented by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, serving as telephone and repair technicians, customer service representatives, operators, and more. “Even at the 11th hour, as contracts were set to expire, Verizon continued to seek to strip away 50 years of collective bargaining gains for middle class workers and their families,� the CWA said in an Aug. 7 statement. With its headquarters based in New York, Verizon employs nearly 196,000 workers, 135,000 being non-union, and provides more than 106 million total connections nationwide. On their website, Verizon claims their technicians, in certain markets, earn as much as $91,000 a year with overtime and more than $50,000 in benefits. The company said that they are proposing that union employees pay a portion of their health care premiums, as most

I think he understands that the cost of this regulation really outweighs the potential benefits,” Toomey said. Officials in attendance Monday all seemed to agree. Waverly Township Manager William White felt that it should be more of a gradual upgrade, estimating that their roughly 50 streets could probably result in 250 to 300 new signs. “As signs get knocked down, as they go bad, as kids steal them, we replace them with the new retroreflective signs. We’re replacing safety signs, stop signs, and yellow warning
signs,” White listed. “When you’ve got a big expense like this that comes up, we don’t have the funding to do it. We don’t borrow money, typically, to keep the township going. We work within our budget. We’re very frugal and very careful with what we spend.” With an annual budget around $1 million, Waverly’s finances only allow for three full time and two summer Department of Public Works employees, he said. Toomey found that this isn’t the only unfunded mandate that towns and municipalities struggling to meet across Pennsylvania. “It’s not just street signs. It’s also the mechanism for storm water drains, for instance, where they impose new regulations, there’s huge new costs, and then expect someone else to pick up the tab,” Toomey said. “This can get out of hand, and I think in many ways, it already has.”

CRANTON – After meeting with several local officials in City Hall on Monday, U.S. Senator Pat Toomey (RPa.) announced that he will be introducing legislation to repeal a 2008 Department of Transportation regulation mandating new, more retroreflective street signs in towns and municipalities across the state and the country.
new minimum levels of sign retroreflectivity. These levels for regulatory, warning, and ground-mounted guide signs must then be met by January 2015, while overhead guide and street name signs must be in compliance by January 2018. The upgrades are generally unfunded by the federal government and would require each town to pay for their own replacement signs and labor. “I wanted to hear firsthand from the people who were responsible for administrating our townships and boroughs and from county commissioners in the northeast about some of the challenges that they face. Sure enough, a lot of the challenges are actually the result of misguided federal government regulations and policies,” Toomey explained. “It’s very, very expensive, and the more I talk to folks about it, the more it’s clear that this is a solution in search of a problem. The problem is an expensive solution and these communi-

U.S. Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) talks with James Reino, chairman of the Kingston Township Board of Supervisors, after a meeting in Scranton City Hall.
SCRANTON – Local activist groups joined with employees of Verizon Communications Inc. for a joint demonstration on Courthouse Square on Friday, expressing their disgust with big business and U.S. Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), whose Scranton office is located on Spruce Street. Over 45,000 Verizon workers are currently on strike across the country after negotiations for a new labor contract crumbled, and the Scranton office had already been picketing all week. Over 50 employees and supporters sporting red shirts were joined by members of Northeast Pennsylvania Area Labor Federation and NEPA Citizens in Action, who were downtown to deliver a letter to Toomey asking him to support the strike. James Luby, 46, of Scranton was one of several locals who spoke about the struggles of being unemployed. “It’s important that we send a message to Pat Toomey and to all these Tea Partiers. They promised us jobs a year ago, and where are they? Instead they give us gridlock; they downgrade our status as a AAA nation to a AA nation,” Luby said. Toomey’s press secretary Rebecca Neal issued the following response: “Senator Toomey appreciates feedback from his constituents and knowing their concerns. He often travels across the state to meet with constituents and hear their thoughts on the best way to create jobs and get our economy moving. He spent Monday in Northeastern Pennsylvania hosting jobs roundtables, and Tuesday he was in Pottsville, Reading, Annville and Harrisburg, talking about how we can get the economy back on track. “He also met with job creators in Philadelphia Wednesday and in Pittsburgh Thursday. The senator will continue his travels across the state during the August recess and looks forward to meeting constituents at public events.”

Beat back to school prices with these tricks Ask any mother of school-age children what time of year they dread the most, and I guarantee you that most of them will say back to school shopping. I remember the days of back to school shopping before uniforms. Although students are limited with their wardrobe, back to school shopping is still very stressful, especially on a budget. Here are some tips to help make back to school shopping a success on a budget. First set a budget and make a list of the back to school necessities. Try not to buy all school supplies in one store. Search the Sunday paper to find out which stores are offering sales for items on your list. If you purchase all items from one store, you will definitely overpay. Remember that Walmart will price match competitors ads. This is a great way to avoid multiple store trips. Walgreens has been offering some great free school supplies after register rewards and coupons. Many stores offer rebates, both instant and online, that can really help you stay within your budget, so be sure to scan ads for those deals as well. Target is known for offering gift cards when you purchase a certain number of items, and you can also use coupons. Backpacks and lunch boxes can be bought for cheap or even free after rebates and sales. When shopping for clothing, remember that not everything for the school year needs to be purchased before the first day of school. Holidays, such as Labor Day, usually offer some great sales. Many stores are offering cash back or “store cash” when you spend a certain amount in one visit. That is a great time to buy especially because you can usually still use a coupon and purchase from the sale and clearance racks. If you shop early, you can

‘Intellectual group therapy’ returns Philosopher Andre Gide said, “Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it.” At the Scranton Public Library, a former rock drummer, apartment manager, waiter and doctoral student, Dr. Phil Jenkins of Marywood University, has been facilitating a truth seeking discussion group, Socrates’ Café, for nearly four years. While teaching in Little Rock, Ark., his colleagues were all required to organize service projects for the community. After researching other options, he was smitten with the ideas expressed on the website of Christopher Phillips, the originator of Socrates’ Café. “This described a discussion group where the participants chose a question to talk about,” Jenkins recalled. “They suggest various topics which are written out on a flip chart, votes are taken, the three most popular topics are finalists; and then only one is left….which is discussed that evening.”
MARRIAGES AND DIVORCES The following marriage license applications were filed in the Lackawanna County Marriage License Bureau between Aug. 5 and Aug. 11, 2011: • Christine Ann Slocum and Thomas P. Durdan, both of Scranton. • Gail Ann Kelly and Stephen Edward Walsh III, both of Clarks Summit. • Chevelle Rosemarie M. Awong and Nicholas James Donnelly, both of Carbondale. • Heather Ann Wolo and Joseph Paul Christe, both of Scranton. • Maria Ann Cherundolo, Dunmore, and Matthew James Cielski, Fleetwood. • Bethany L. Blasi and Todd R. Ardan, both of Scranton. • Margaret Mary Gorton and Stephen James Ursich, both of Uniondale. • Jennifer K. Cawley, Scranton, and Ryan P. Iorio, Alpharetta, Ga. • Eugenia Tara Roche, Dunmore, and Joseph Jay Nardone, Mountain Top. • Ashlee Marie Saddlemire and Richard Joseph Sopko, both of South Burlington, Vt. • Robyn C. Thomas and Andrew Phillip Seifert, both of Scranton. • Beverly McDermott and Dennis
500 VINE The Little Rock group was a great success and Jenkins has continued this program since he came to Scranton in 2007 and approached the library about forming such a group. Participants have ranged in age from young adults to 94 years young, but most are between 30 and 60. There are conservatives, libertarians, liberals, Buddhists, mainstream religious folk and others. According to Jenkins, “It’s pretty amazing how little friction there is among the group….Everyone there is on good behavior and people realize that spirited disagreements will occur from time to time.” Past topics have included “What is marriage and where is it going?,” “Why are we here?,” “Does anyone have a family history of happiness?,” and “Should so much money be spent on events like the Royal Wedding?” Jenkins said Socrates’ Café R. Cooper, both of Scranton. • Lori Ann Hutzky and Frank Scott Bell, both of Archbald. • Briana Betress and Thomas Drew Cunningham, both of Scranton. • Debra Frasier and Timothy Brinkley, both of Scranton. • Erin Lynn Gilbert and Jordan Michael Pohutsky, both of Scranton. • Katherine Victoria Ryman and Alfred Allie Natkin, both of Scranton. • Brooke Ann Addley and Richard John Grunza, both of Throop. • Michelle Coretta McIntyre and Nathan William Knott, both of Los Angeles, Calif. • Alea Ann Murphy and Gary Wayne Helmick III, both of Owings Mills, Md. • Shelly Christine Silva, Covington Township, and Edward George Smith, Jr., Taylor. • Kayla M. Yurkovitch and Brent A. Fluck, both of Scranton. • Andrea Elise Burlingame and Gary William Young, Jr., both of Jermyn. • Ashley Ann Rugh, Old Forge, and Ryan Edward Pollard, Falls. • Summer Joy Currier and Scottie Gordon Frick, both of Olyphant. • Laura Ann Occhipinti, Madison Township, and David James Jones IV, Scranton. • Nichole Christine Wilson and Nick Rowlands, both of Olyphant. • Mary K. Kromer and Jerold David Solt, both of Moosic.
is a great way to share viewpoints in an open and honest environment. “The basic idea is that we learn more when we question and question with others. I learn something each time we meet, new information about a topic, I see an act of kindness between participants or am impressed by someone’s civility or maybe I learn something about myself…. Sometimes I think of it as intellectual group therapy. On the other hand sometimes you might just want to come and listen.” Sponsored by the Albright Memorial Library, Socrates’ Cafe meets in the Community Room of the Lackawanna Children’s Library monthly from 6:30 to 8 p.m. The next meeting is Thursday, Aug. 25. Fall meetings will be held on the first Tuesday of each month except for Election Day. ‘500 Vine’ discusses library services and events. Find it bi-weekly in Go Lackawanna.

OSCOW – North Pocono High School graduate Brooke Walker has used her keen eye as a means to show others what they might overlook. Walker,18, of Moscow, was recognized for her talent behind the camera earlier this year when she was named the WVIA Artist of the Year.
The Temple Universitybound young woman said she was encouraged by her high school art teacher Christina Barrett to enter her photographs into the WVIA Artist of the Week program. “It’s funny because we don’t do photography in our art class. We do drawing and painting and things like that,” Walker said.
But Barrett had seen her work in a NEPA Scholastic Art Awards exhibition at Marywood University in 2010. “She said it was good,” Walker recalled. “If she had a high opinion of it, it was enough to make me feel like I should try it.” Walker practically stumbled into the art form and worked for almost four years
to refine her personal style. At age 12, she began taking unique photos on her camera phone. Her parents, Erin and Paul, saw something in the raw images and purchased her a camera for her 13th birthday. She said she most enjoys shooting animals, nature, musicians and architecture.

I’m grateful for my Catholic upbringing and education,” she recalled. “When you’re older and you’re recollecting all the stuff that you went through, it’s good for a lot of laughs.” She also identified with the character on a more personal level, being an educator and performer herself. “She doesn’t want to be rich or famous. She just wants to do what she loves. The theater is what I love, so I understand that aspect of her and the fact that she shares the talent that God gave her - because I do believe it’s God-given - with kids. That’s how I feel most connected to her,” she said. “If there’s any other level I
can relate to her on, it’s her love of performing.” While the premise may seem irreverent to some, Cummings was assured when she read the play that it may be funny, but it’s also respectful towards the faithful. One line in particular, she felt, summed up the heart of Sister Robert Anne. “‘When I touch a kid’s soul, it makes me feel whole. There isn’t much more I can say. Let me tell you, I’m blessed, if you haven’t guessed. Everything’s going my way and I am here to stay.’ I think that’s great,” she commented. The performances will be dedicated to Cummings’ only brother, Joe, who passed away last year. “He was an altar boy when they still had the Masses in Latin. He would have had a couple of good laughs over this show,” she said. “I think people will have a really good time. That’s my goal, to make sure that they do.”

everyone else’s work was amazing.” Many of her photos are taken using a Sony Cybershot DSCH9, and she uses the camera’s strong zoom to her advantage. After winning Artist of the Year, her father purchased her a Canon Rebel T2i. But Walker is less concerned with what’s in her hands than
what’s in front of her. “I like to say that it’s the photographer and not the camera,” she said. Her photos don’t go through any digital editing process after the shutter closes, and she hasn’t taken any formal photography classes, either. While she’ll enter the honors program at Temple University without declaring a major, Walker said her dream job is to be a photographer for National Geographic. Her aunt had often purchased the children’s version of the magazine, and she recalled pouring over images from around the globe. Moving to Philadelphia could also provide her with a new muse. “I’m looking forward to living in a new place because I’ve lived in Moscow my whole life,” she said. “I’m excited to be living in the city and having the opportunity to take a lot more pictures be exploring a lot of new things.”

INFINITE IMPROBABILITY RICH HOWELLS but may have heard bits and pieces of this story, let me give you the Reader’s Digest version. Marvel Comics has an entire universe of super-powered characters that has been running since the 1960s. As a way to engage new readers and allow writers and artists to experiment with stories in ways they couldn’t normally do, Marvel established the Ultimate Marvel universe in 2000, featuring updated characters re-imagined for the new millennium. Readers like myself, who grew up with the old comics, continue to read stories based in the original universe to this day. Those looking for something different read the
Ultimate books, and some read both. Much in the same way Hollywood has sold us the same story over and over again through unnecessary remakes, the Ultimate comics often adapt storylines from the old comics and simply add more violence, language, or sexuality. Recently, in a desperate attempt to boost Ultimate sales and publicity, they killed many major characters off and are soon relaunching the line. One of those deaths was that of Ultimate Peter Parker, who perished while facing off against the Green Goblin. At least that’s what I’m told, since the only Pete I know is still alive and kicking the Goblin’s butt. New Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso has defended the move to dub Miles Morales the new Ultimate Spider-Man, but his motives seem as obvious as those of his predecessor. Former Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada made some contro-
versial changes to the regular Spider-Man in 2008, “erasing” Peter’s longtime marriage to Mary Jane Watson because he preferred reading those old stories about the nerd who couldn’t get a date or the guy who tried to balance his love life with his secret identity. After decades of character development and building story arcs, Quesada selfishly approved this poorly written story because of his own personal preferences, never taking into account what was best for the ongoing story, leaving many plot holes in its wake. With Alonso being of half-Mexican descent, he has actually done interviews where he denies that the creation of Miles was a move based on political correctness or his own ethnicity, then minutes later stated how thrilled he is that his son will grow up with a Spidey named Morales.

Call me old fashioned, but I only want to read about one SpiderMan at a time. There’s a lot of hype in the media about some new Spider-Man named Miles Morales, but I don’t know much about him other than the fact that he’s half-African American and half-Hispanic. It seems that no one else does either because that appears to be the only thing anyone cares to discuss. How did he get his spider powers? Why does he want to become a superhero? Who cares? Those questions won’t stir the pot on early morning conservative radio, after all, so let’s just focus on his skin instead of what’s beneath it. My initial objection isn’t over a biracial Spider-Man – it’s over a Spider-Man that isn’t Peter Parker. For those who don’t read comics

The Impulsive Players are inviting area residents to join the Man in Chair at the Brooks Theatre at Keystone College and enjoy “The Drowsy Chaperone” from Thursday to Saturday, Aug. 18 to 20 Written by Bob Martin and Don McKellar, with music and lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison, “The Drowsy Chaperone” is a play within a play that opens with the character, Man in Chair, sitting down to listen to a recording of a fictional 1928 musical titled “The Drowsy Chaperone.” The play comes alive for Man in Chair, and the audience, as they watch the story of Janet Van De Graaff, a showgirl who’s planning to give up her career in order to marry an oil tycoon. “The music is a lot of fun. That was the first thing that got me. The show is going to be a lot of fun just based on the music,” said director Dane Bower, who said after hearing the play’s soundtrack, they “ordered the scripts, and it turned out to be a really funny script as well.” Bower stumbled upon the play by chance. “I was at Borders about a year ago, and the soundtrack was on sale. And I had heard of the show, but I didn’t know any-
thing about it… so I thought I’d check it out, and I ended up really liking it,” said Bower. In addition to the songs and script, Bower said knowing he had the talent at his disposal to put the play on helped his decision to pick the piece. “We have a really great cast,” said Bower. “You pick a show that you think is going to play to your company’s strengths, and a factor that always weighs into that is knowing the people you’ve had year after year who come and audition and feel like you’d be able to rely on them again. “The exciting thing about doing a show is every year we’ve done a show we’ve had at least a couple new cast members… It’s great, because it’s always nice to have as many different people in your production as you can get.” One returning element of this year’s production is its venue at Keystone College. Last year’s performances were held at Lackawanna Trail High School due to remodeling at the college. “Keystone and The Impulsive Players have had a great relationship over the last seven years. Ned Boehm, the president, has been incredibly supportive of us, Jane Honchell’s been very supportive. It’s been a really good place for us.”

Again, is this what’s best for the character and his narrative or is this what’s best for the guy in charge? Other than Alonso and Ultimate creator Brian Michael Bendis, I’ve never heard anyone – black, white, Latino, or Skrull – clamoring for an ethnic SpiderMan. Parker’s struggles have always transcended racial barriers, as evidenced by his already diverse fan base. What I have heard from people of all creeds and colors is a need for better ethnic superheroes in general, or at least more prominent ones.

characters, these characters were also often defined by their race or given monikers that made their skin color obvious even if they wore a mask. Luke Cage is a fun hero, for example, but he was an obvious takeoff from stereotypical black exploitation films, and while Black Panther has always been one of the best Avengers and an interesting protagonist in general, his name defined him before his actions could. Why not work on creating a new nonwhite hero who actually speaks to his own race as well as everyone else? Why not make him an integral part of a superhero team instead of a “token” extra? Because that would take effort, originality, and good storytelling, and why would we do that when we can just rehash what’s been done already by slapping a shiny new label on it?

that Marvel would rather repackage a white character and try to sell it back to me as opposed to exerting the real effort it takes to build one from the ground up. Scratch that – I’m Caucasian and I’m still insulted. I didn’t buy into the Ultimate universe back in 2000 for a reason: I’m sick and tired of flashy remakes with no substance. With superhero film or cartoon adaptations, you at least get a new version of the story in a different visual medium, leaving more opportunities for more distinctive material. Killing off any version of Peter Parker is like saying that the kid behind the mask doesn’t matter – only his flashy costume and cool powers do.

For those who think it’s easier said than done to establish a new ethnic character and break down barriers while increasing sales, just ask creator Todd McFarlane how Spawn worked out for him. Only established in 1992, he’s a modern character that many people simply forget is black because his race isn’t his selling point – his character is. Maybe the book’s sales aren’t what they used to be in the ‘90s, but that’s a reflection of the writing, not Al Simmons’ skin color. It all comes back to the power of the pen, Marvel, and with great power…well, you know the rest. You’ve certainly retold it enough.

be not have a record out until next year or later. Luckily, we were able to do things on our own. The record that we wanted to put out exactly how we wanted to put it out is coming out right now,” he said. HoH had a three-week “trial run” earlier this year, but Uproar will be their first major tour, making them the only unsigned band in the festival. Saller has been pleased with the response he’s received from audiences thus far and is looking forward to touring with many of his best friends in the music business. “This music really energizes us and puts big smiles on our faces, so with anyone that’s seen us so far, it’s rubbed off on them. It’s a fun show to watch,” he said. “I write lyrics that are representative of what I’m feeling and what I’m thinking, but I wrote them in a way that people can relate to them as well. I lay everything out on the line, plain and simple, because I feel like that
way people will relate to it and maybe get the same feeling that I have.” The album’s overarching theme not only captures this synergy, but it also seems to serve as an effective account of Hell or Highwater’s foundations as a band. “There’s a theme that kind of peeks its head a bunch on the album – the thought of wanting more in your life and wanting better for yourself in any aspect of your life, whether it be relationships or your career or anything. I know that a lot of people these days are feeling that way. The world is kind of down in the dumps, if you will. I feel like there are a lot of songs representative of that,” Saller acknowledged. “It’s never too late to start over. It’s never too late to do something incredible with your life.”

past to shape his future career. “We don’t want to have anything handed to us because of what we may have done in the past. We want this band to earn everything that it gets because of what we are, not because of what, individually, we’ve been in the past,” he said. “I was always at the back of the stage with that security blanket in front of me. Now I’m up front…and it feels like my baby. I’ve put everything I’ve had into this band. It’s a cool perspective to be able to perform in a different way and be on stage and really let loose.” This fresh start allowed the band to release their first record, “Begin Again,” on Aug. 9 independent of any record label or outside control. Their first single, “Gimme Love,” was released for online for free via Facebook. “In this day and age, it’s really great to do things on your own terms.

While many bands on the Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival are continuing their established acts, Hell or Highwater has given several musicians the chance to “Begin Again,” as their new album so aptly states. The hard rock and heavy metal festival will be stopping at the Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain on Saturday, Aug. 27. Hell or Highwater vocalist Brandon Saller is better known to many metal fans as the drummer and occasional singer of Atreyu, but with that band currently on hiatus, he was given the perfect opportunity to release songs in a different vein of rock through Black Cloud Collective. Made up of himself and friends from “random bands,” BCC eventually became HoH when he chose a permanent line-up made up of several other successful musicians. “I just feel like it was something fun for me, something that started out as just writing music and having a good time, that turned into something that has really opened my eyes all over again to music, playing music and writing music and what it really is to be in a band,” Saller explained. “I feel all of us are in pretty transitional periods in our lives. Everyone in the band is, like myself, taking a break from what they’ve done for a long time. Everyone’s out of other bands…Hell or Highwater, to us, is kind of like a musical awakening and I feel like all of us have the passion and the fire to make this project work no matter what. Everyone really feels that this is the band of our lives.

teresting reactions. It’s not a comedy. It’s a lot of drama, but it’s a very character-driven movie,” said Tirelli. “It’s about real people’s lives and how they deal with difficulties and all sorts of obstacles thrown in front of them.” “It is a very hopeful film, even though you have to go to that very dark and gritty place,” added director William Wedig. The city of Scranton is a major factor in the movie. The setting nearly becomes a character of its own as the cold, wintry landscape of the region helps propel the story forward. The abandoned history of iron and coal that was once so rich in northeastern Pennsylvania gives even more added presence to the piece. “Scranton was such a key player in this movie. My God, the old lace mill, the houses, and the areas where we shot, they’re just incred-
ible,” Tirelli said. The film, which was originally planned to be shot in Texas, would have had a totally different soul if those plans came to fruition. But after Van Wie read the script and suggested that the crew think about using Scranton as the setting, the film fell into place perfectly. “This, to me, is really the film that I’m happy that I made. I would have been happy with that film (shot in Texas), but I’m much more proud of this film,” said Wedig. “I’m glad that we made this choice because it was a collective decision, and I’m really happy that we went the way that we did.” The film is tentatively set to be released on DVD and Netflix in September and is currently available for pre-order on Amazon.com. The final local showing is set for Sunday at 4 p.m.

CRANTON – The gritty tale of redemption between a father and son shot in Scranton more than two years ago received a downtown premiere Friday night at Marquee Cinema, 301 Lackawanna Ave. “It feels amazing and humbling that our hometown was able to see the film that pretty much provided us with the production value through its locations, its help, and just the community coming out now and during production,” said Joe Van Wie, a Scranton native and executive producer for the film. The Scranton premiere sold out quickly and left some still pouring into the theaters after the last tickets were gone. Moviegoers got the opportunity to have an authentic red carpet experience and take
time to speak and have their photo taken with the cast and crew. The men behind the movie opened up, speaking with audience members before the film and hosting a question-and-answer session after the screening. Actor Jaime Tirelli played the role of Caesar, a villain in “Forged.” He was humbled by Friday’s sold-out crowd. “The people get behind their own town. They know that Scranton is the main character here, and they’re coming here to enjoy it,” Tirelli said. The emotional film follows a man recently released from prison for the death of his wife. His son, now 13, seeks vengeance while Chuco, portrayed by actor Manny Perez, must redeem himself while working to avoid his former criminal affiliations. “They’re going to have some in-

s the movie version of “The Help” better than the book? Yes, primarily for one reason: The book doesn’t have Viola Davis. Davis, who achieved the near-impossible feat of stealing a scene from Meryl Streep in 2008’s “Doubt,” plays Aibileen, a black maid in early-1960s Jackson, Miss. In Kathryn Stockett’s wildly popular novel, she’s one of three narrative voices; the others are fellow maid Minny (played by Octavia Spencer), who’s more outspoken than the quiet Aibileen, and Skeeter (Emma Stone), a young white woman and new college grad who hits on the idea of writing a nonfiction book from the perspective of black Southern maids. Tate Taylor’s movie adaptation, however, subtly moves Aibileen front and center: Hers is the only voice-over we hear.

And yet it’s very much the culmination of everything Terrence Malick has done until now — all four features he’s made during the past four decades. All his thematic and aesthetic signatures are there: the dream-
like yet precise details, an obsession with the metaphysical and the emotional, an ability to create suspense within a languid mood. It is simultaneously mesmerizing and maddening as it encompasses nothing less than the nature of existence itself. As writer director, Malick ranges far and wide, from intimate moments with a growing family in 1950s Texas to the dawn of time — complete with awesome im-
ages of the cosmos and, yes, those dinosaurs you’ve surely heard about — and back again. “The Tree of Life” is deeply spiritual, but Malick isn’t one to preach. Instead, he gives you the sense that he’s genuinely asking questions to which the answers may be unknowable. Of course, we’ll never know his intentions: Malick is notoriously elusive, which is admirable from an artSee TREE, Page 34

istic perspective but frustrating for those who’d like to know what the hell he means by all this. But if you’re open to letting the imagery wash over you, to allowing yourself to get sucked into the film’s rhythms and fluidly undulating tones, you’ll be wowed. And even if you’re not a spiritual person yourself, given to the kind of seeking that frequently marks the characters’ voiceovers in “The Tree of Life,” you’re unlikely to find the film’s religious themes alienating. “Lord, why? Where were you?” wonders the mother in the family, played as an idealized vision of nurturing womanhood by Jessica Chastain. “Who are we to you? Answer me.” Malick offers an intriguing contrast between these heavy, eternal concepts and prosaic childhood memories: light, wispy snippets of sight and sound, of trees and sky and grass, of a mother’s voice. These moments are intentionally impressionistic — and “The Tree of Life” feels defiantly plotless and sometimes self-indulgent — but they all represent an accurate depiction of how our early recollections can come back to us in fragments. Some are idyllic; others are frightening. Eventually, “The Tree of Life” becomes rooted in the reality of the O’Brien family: a father (Brad Pitt), mother (Chastain), and three little boys. Pitt makes the character an intimidating figure, a capri-

cious mix of toughness and tenderness, and it’s probably the best work of his career. Chastain, a relative newcomer to the screen, balances him out with sweetness and grace but also with a playful nature and an open, expressive face; you get the sense she only wants happiness for her children, in whatever form it comes to them. But Hunter McCracken, the young actor playing Jack, the eldest of the three sons, has a startlingly confident and commanding presence, especially given this is his first film. McCracken more than holds his own opposite Pitt, with whom he repeatedly clashes: He’s truly the star. Jack will grow up to be played by Sean Penn, a Houston architect who’s still shaken by a family tragedy decades later. This is one of the chief weaknesses here: Malick has Penn available to him, and all he does is ask him to walk around moping in Armani suits. Still, “The Tree of Life” changed my mood for the rest of the day. When you see a lot of movies, most of which tend to flee your memory leaving nary a trace on your heart or mind, that’s rare. And it can’t easily be dismissed.

is far less compelling, and her character seems callow and unformed. You wonder why the book can’t focus more on Aibileen and Minny, particularly in the way it celebrates Skeeter’s bravery at the end. (Yes, it was commendable and gutsy for her to embark on such a project — but far more risky for the maids involved. Skeeter, a white woman of means and education, could simply move out of town and start again if things had misfired.) This problem persists on screen: We’re drawn to Skeeter because she’s so likable, but we’re not sure why she’s getting so much attention when far more intriguing characters are just over in the kitchen. But Stone’s charmingly natural performance wins us over. All around, “The Help” is wonderfully acted — I’d be remiss in not mentioning the wicked gleam in
Octavia Spencer plays feisty Minny and Viola Davis plays thoughtful Aibileen in ‘The Help.’
Spencer’s eye, the breathy screwball energy Jessica Chastain brings to a small role, and Sissy Spacek’s dotty-Southernlady zip — and it’s a rare treat to see a movie focusing on such a strong female ensemble. Taylor and the actresses do well with the small moments that bring this troubled era to life: the way Skeeter, however well-meaning, doesn’t realize that she’s being disrespectful to
Aibileen; or how the town’s society women smugly raise money “for African children” while turning a blind eye to their maids’ lives. But ultimately, this version of “The Help” comes down to Davis’ Aibileen, as she strolls down a sunny road to a new life. It may not be any easier than the life that came before — but we can rejoice with her that, maybe just for a moment, she feels free.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTEBOOK
Former Giants named Changes ahead for fall season new Keystone coaches By TOM ROBINSON For Go Lackawanna
By TOM ROBINSON For Go Lackawanna
Keystone College selected a pair of its former studentathletes when it named new head coaches of the softball and women’s volleyball programs. Dr. Matthew Grimaldi, Keystone’s director of athletics, announced Wednesday that Karly Evans will be the new softball coach and Nina Del Quaglio will take over women’s volleyball. “We are very excited to welcome both Karly and Nina back to Keystone,” Grimaldi said in a press release. “Both of these individuals were model student-athletes during their careers here and it is fantastic that they are bringing their experience and enthusiasm for Keystone to the softball and volleyball programs.” Evans played softball in 2001 and 2002 and again in 2004 as Keystone made the transition from a junior college program to a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The former Keystone Female Athlete of the Year holds school records for: runs in a season (40) and career (101), hits in a season (52), doubles in a season (21) and career (43), triples in a career (12) and RBI in a career (75). She batted .470 for her career and was part of the 2002 team that won a school record 22 games. Del Quaglio was a member of the 2009-10 team when volleyball returned as a varsity sport after a five-year break. She was a team captain in high school and college and has some coaching experience at Abington Heights and Western Wayne High Schools. GETTING STARTED Del Quaglio’s team will join field hockey and women’s soccer in starting prac-
tice Friday at Keystone College. The men’s soccer and cross country teams start August 23. Women’s tennis and golf report Aug. 29. Most of the University of Scranton fall athletes will arrive Friday. Lackawanna College has already started football practice. Other teams will start Monday. Marywood’s fall athletes will report Wednesday for the start of practice Thursday. SPRING SPORTS Honors continue to slowly roll in for spring sports. Marywood’s Meghin Palmer was a first-team Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) South Region allstar in the outfield. The sophomore led the Pacers with a .464 average and 64 hits. He drove in 24 runs and stolen 23 bases to help the Pacers go 22-17 and make the ECAC Tournament. George Downey IV became the first Marywood men’s lacrosse player honored by the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) when he was selected as a second-team Metro-South all-star midfielder. Downey had 28 goals and eight assists while leading the Pacers to a Colonial States Athletic Conference runner-up finish and a berth in the ECAC Tournament. MOVING UP Mike Castellano, a 2010 Marywood graduate, recently joined the New York Federals in the Can-Am League, an independent professional baseball league. The Brooklyn native was a second-team CSAC all-star as a senior at Marywood when the infielder hit .350 with 15 stolen bases. Through 16 games, Castellano is hitting .188.

all sports teams in the Lackawanna Interscholastic Athletic Association and around the rest of Pennsylvania will begin official practice Monday in preparation for the upcoming season. Girls’ soccer and girls’ volleyball have undergone significant revisions to the divisional alignments. There has also been a small change in golf, which joins girls’ tennis as the first to move on to competition just a week after practice starts.
The Lackawanna League switched girls’ soccer from three unbalanced divisions to two divisions of eight teams each. Lakeland left Division 3 after winning the title last year and joined the seven holdover teams to form the realigned Division 1. Valley View, Scranton Prep, Abington Heights, Western Wayne, Wallenpaupack, West Scranton and Scranton make up the rest of the division. All of the teams other than Lakeland from Divisions 2 and 3 last season have joined together in Division 2 this season. Those teams are: Mountain View, Forest City, Elk Lake, Montrose, Holy Cross, Mid Valley, Carbondale and Dunmore. Abington Heights moved from the Wyoming Valley Conference to the Lackawanna League in girls’ volleyball, which has switched from nine teams in one group to two, five-team divisions. Dunmore, Lackawanna Trail, Western Wayne and Forest City join Abington Heights in Division 1. Susquehanna, Montrose, Elk Lake, Blue Ridge and
Mountain View make up Division 2. Blue Ridge and Susquehanna have formed a cooperative sponsorship in golf, reducing the number of North Division teams from 12 to 11 teams. The divisional formats for football, boys’ soccer, boys’ and girls’ cross country and girls’ tennis remain the same. The annual Jackman Memorial Golf Tournament is Friday at Scranton Municipal. League openers in golf and girls’ tennis follow Aug. 22. Boys’ soccer league play starts Sept. 2. Football opens the weekend of Sept. 2-3, but all teams begin with non-league games that remain part of the playoff qualifying process. Girls’ soccer and girls’ volleyball league play begins Sept. 6. Boys’ and girls’ cross country open Sept. 7. Wyoming Valley Conference field hockey and girls’ volleyball, which include some schools that are LIAA members in other sports, each open Sept. 2. Lackawanna Trail, Abington Heights, Delaware Valley, Honesdale, Wallenpaupack, Montrose and Elk Lake compete in the WVC in field hockey. North Pocono and Delaware Valley remain in the WVC in volleyball. NEW COACHES For the third time in six years, Abington Heights has named a new field hockey coach in the weeks leading up to the start of the season. Erica Suitch, 24, a former Crestwood captain and a three-year starter at Hofstra University, met with a group of about 30 Lady Comets Wednesday night, one week after accepting the job. “They are eager for the season to start,” Suitch said. Suitch will be running the team from the start of official practice Monday morning while waiting for her appointment to be formally approved at the next school board meeting.
As a midfielder at Crestwood, Suitch was a big part of the 2003 and 2004 state championship teams. She was captain of the 26-0 team in her senior season. “I knew all along that I would like to give back and help future players develop,” Suitch said. Suitch is already a coach in USA Field Hockey Futures program at its Kingston site. She also has spent the last two years as a coach with the Valley Styx indoor club team after helping out with the program during the previous three years while still in college. Suitch replaces Michelle LaCoe after Abington Heights went a combined 3-27 in the WVC the last two seasons. Three football coaches will be putting their new teams through the first day of double sessions Monday. All three – West Scranton graduate Evan Prall at Riverside, Valley View graduate Russell Canevari at Montrose and Jeff Stevens at Holy Cross – are on their first head coaching assignment. Canevari was the leading rusher on the 1992 Valley View team that was the last in the county to capture a state championship. He takes over a team on a league-high, 18-game losing streak. “The only way you can approach it is through working hard,” Canevari said. “We’re working hard and we’re stressing the fundamentals of the game of football.” Canevari could see some help in the future. Montrose has approved a co-sponsorship of football with neighboring Elk Lake that could take effect in time for the 2012 season. The two Scranton city schools have new cross country coaches. Rick Bresser was appointed Monday to take over at West Scranton. He moves up from assistant to replace Jim Griffiths, who moves to Scranton after eight seasons as head coach of the Invaders.

Roskos, Anderson hired as city ADs By TOM ROBINSON For Go Lackawanna
The Scranton School District turned to two familiar faces to fill the athletic director positions at the two high schools Monday. George Roskos, who has experience coaching three sports in the district, was named to replace Chris Evans, who resigned this summer after one year as West Scranton athletic director. Ted Anderson, who has coached two sports and been actively involved in game management of other events at the school, was appointed at Scranton where he has been handling the position throughout the summer months. Anderson replaces long-time athletic director Bob Coleman, who retired. Roskos and Anderson will continue teaching in their respective schools with schedule adjustments made for athletic director duties. In addition to his time as a coach and teacher in the school district, Roskos has spent eight years as head coach and eight more as an assistant for the West Scranton American Legion team and served as president of District 11 American Legion 2007-2010. “This is something I’ve been thinking about for a while,” Roskos said. “I enjoyed the work as Legion president and it certainly developed my organization-
al and administrative skills.” Roskos was first exposed to sports at West Scranton as a young boy when his father, George Roskos, Sr. was completing a successful run as wrestling coach at the school. He went on to compete for the Invaders in the same three sports – football, wrestling and baseball – that he eventually coached on the high school level. After spending four years as a volunteer coach at West Scranton, Roskos was a volunteer at Scranton in 2000, its only championship season. He was an assistant football coach at Scranton for six years and an assistant baseball coach at West Scranton in a pair of two-year stints. Anderson stepped down as cross country coach as part of the requirements of being an athletic director in the Scranton School District. He was head coach the last two years, leading the girls to a 24-20 record and the boys to a 16-28 mark. Prior to that, he was an assistant coach for four seasons. Anderson, a PIAA basketball official, also was an assistant track and field coach for four years. “The last couple of years, I knew that Bob may or may not retire at the end of the year,” Anderson said. “I thought it would be a pretty good fit.”

Chatter surrounds Cougars for good reason
OLYPHANT – There was a time, extending for more than a quarter-century from the program’s debut, when being a Valley View football player meant always being the hunted. The Cougars always seemed to be defending champions, preseason favorites or both. Valley View football players have not had that problem – or the respect that goes with it – as much in recent years. Individually and collectively, they are about to have it again. Discounting their title in the runner-up Eastern Conference playoffs, a championship that it would be a disappointment to defend this season, the Cougars will not have the role of defending champion in either league or district play. Valley View, however, does enter the season as the favor-
KEEPING SCORE
TOM ROBINSON ite. The Cougars were the most talked-about team Wednesday when the Lackawanna Football Conference held its second annual Media Day. Practice begins Monday and Valley View opens as the favorite to the win Division 1, which features the conference’s biggest schools. Nyeem Wartman has the dual role of being the most decorated player and one of the leaders of the LFC’s top team. Wartman has already committed to Penn State University as a linebacker before his senior year begins and is also one of the conference’s top tight ends. “The bad part about it is
your head can get big,” Wartman said of the attention his team is about to receive. “You’ve got to know your place. “Once the game starts, you can’t think about it, it’s just about playing football.” Wartman and his coach, George Howanitz, are well aware that many good things go along with being the team to beat. Howanitz was the quarterback at Valley View in 1992 when the Cougars went 15-0, taking league and district titles on the way to a state Class AA championship that was the last captured by any of the schools that now make up the LFC. “They know they’re going to be picked and I’ve told them that,” Howanitz said. “I told them it’s better to be picked than have nobody talk about you at all.
Howanitz
Wartman
“I think we’re probably back to where we want to be, where we’re being talked about again.” Turning high hopes into reality is the task ahead for Valley View and the other highly-regarded teams. The official two-a-day workouts begin Monday in anticipation of the opening weekend Sept. 2-3, the first of 10 sets of games that will determine the teams that are still standing for the playoffs in November. The 2011 season could feel like a trip back in time.
Lakeland, which once battled Valley View and then Dunmore for the role of the county’s most successful football program, will be the only LFC champion given a strong chance to defend its title. The Chiefs never seem to stray far from the top of the standings. They will try to repeat in Division 2 while Lackawanna Trail, which has had runs as the best of the county’s small schools, tries to land on top of Division 3 just two years after sinking to 1-9. There are enough threats in each of the three divisions that it is unlikely for all the favorites to actually end up on top. The fun part – finding out which teams end up as champions, rather than are projected to fill those roles—is just ahead.
