Hoping we taught the interns well It will be kind of an empty nest in the Go Lackawanna offices beginning next week. Our two summer interns – Tyler Miles from Lackawanna College and new Temple University student Matt Morgis – officially wrapped up their time with us in that role this week. Both brought great strength and enthusiasm into the office each day, along with the everrequired notebook and pen. Their growth as reporters over the last three months was impressive. Tyler’s journey began with an intent to cover arts and entertainment given his predom-

BEHIND THE BYLINES CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES inant background in English writing and not journalism. (Trust me. They’re different.) He learned to craft leads and build conversations with each of his interview subjects to write dynamic stories about documentary filmmakers, police robots, and much more, eventually developing a detective-like kinship with criminal reporting. Matt’s work as an arts and entertainment writer with our sister publication, the Week-

ender, was well-known to me before he arrived in a shirt and tie this summer. He had written a number of bylines for us about bands touring through the region, and his love of music was clear. But Matt sought something more. He wanted experience in hard news before taking the trip to Philadelphia this fall, and he excelled with each challenge. From learning the criminal court system to dissecting preliminary hearings that lasted for hours, Matt’s work ethic was admirable. Working with new people can sometimes be a challenge, but working with the right people makes coming to the office each day an enjoyable and unforgettable experience.

We learned that earlier this year when General Manager Paul Andrews came on board. His collaboration with our news team on ways to improve our paper and its reach in Lackawanna County continues to pleasantly surprise us. Both young men have clearly been bitten by the reporter’s bug. As I’m certain both interns were an asset to us, I’m equally hopeful that we were an asset to their professional development. I’ll admit that this isn’t the most orthodox office on the planet, but I feel we showed both of them that you can work hard and still share some laughs from 9 to 5 (or even 8). They should be proud of their accomplishments. I know I am.

Summit woman continues mission to honor miners NEWS IMAGES COURTESY PHMC, ANTHRACITE MUSEUM COMPLEX AND HARPER’S WEEKLY

Smoke rises from the ruins of the coal breaker.

RECALLING AVONDALE ith many of the graves in the Washburn Street Cemetery in West Scranton dating back almost 150 years, countless loved ones from the past have long since been forgotten as their friends and relatives died or moved away. One Clarks Summit woman, however, has worked hard to make sure that this is not the case for victims of a historic 1869 mine cave-in. 2009, ultimately raising $6,000 to repair toppled and cracked tombstones and cut the high grass and weeds. Conditions were so bad, she recalled, that several Scott gravestones had sunk into the ground and were almost completely invisible, while others were covered in graffiti or lying in pieces. Martin Caufield Memorial Works in Honesdale “went above and beyond” the call of duty, Scott said, using epoxy to repair many of the headstones and power washing the rest. The section is now marked with a rededication plaque that retells the tragedy. Scott organized a ceremony for the miners held on the event’s 140th anniversary in 2009. This year, an even larger service is planned for Saturday, Sept. 3 at 10:30 a.m. at the cemetery. Historian Rick Sedlisky, a former Scranton resident, will be the featured speaker and coal region musician Jay Smar will perform an original song written for the miners. The event is sponsored and coordinated by The St. David’s Society, Friends of the Forgotten, the

Old Forge Mining Group, and the Anthracite Living History Group and will include a color guard, taps, and a gun salute. Uncovering history The Avondale Mine Disaster was sparked on the morning of September 6, 1869, when a fire began in the main shaft at the Avondale Colliery in Plymouth Township, spreading quickly to a wooden breaker that sat directly over the shaft. With this being the sole escape route, 103 men, five boys, and two rescuers died of asphyxiation from carbon gases. Seventy-two women became widows and 153 children lost their fathers in what became one of mining industry’s most deadly tragedies. Sixty-nine of the victims were of Welsh heritage, so the disaster was dubbed “A Welsh Tragedy.” As the Washburn Street Cemetery served a primarily Welsh community, 61 of the victims were transferred by rail to Scranton to be buried near their homes three days later. Many of Avondale’s workers were current or former residents of the Hyde Park See AVONDALE, Page 15

Linda Scott always had an interest in coal mining history, but it wasn’t until she went searching for her great grandfather’s grave that she discovered that the remains of 61 of the 110 victims of the Sept. 6, 1869, Avondale Mine Disaster in Plymouth Township were also laid the rest there. Finding it difficult to locate her own relative’s resting place due to the cemetery’s poor condition, she realized that no one, even if they tried, could likely find the workers lost gone ago in order to pay their respects. “One hundred and ten men and boys lost their lives that day. If we don’t do it, who’s going to remember them?” Scott asked. “Willie Hatton, for example, was only 10 years old when he died. He never got to enjoy his teenage years. He wasn’t even a breaker boy. He just went to work that day to see what his dad did and he died in his father’s arms. “A father and three sons died. How do you tell someone’s wife that their entire family’s gone?” After unsuccessfully attempting to contact the cemetery owner and caretaker, she took it upon herself to collect donations to clean up the small plot in

Locals pull franchise purchase offer By STEVE MOCARSKY smocarsky@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – Local investors who proposed buying the management rights to the Scranton/WilkesBarre Yankees for $15 million have withdrawn the offer. Dr. Steven Vale, spokesman for the group, said on Friday that a discussion with Lackawanna County Commissioner Corey O’Brien precipitated the decision. The Lackawanna County Multi-Purpose Stadium Authority has an agreement to sell the team to SWB Yankees LLC – a partnership composed of the New York Yankees and Mandalay Baseball Properties, which currently manages the local team – for $14.6 million. Vale said one of the parties would have to “want out of the deal” for his proposal to come to fruition, “and we know the Yankees don’t want out,” Vale said. Friday, he learned that O’Brien doesn’t either. While the major reason for buying the management rights to the team was ensuring that it stayed in the region, Vale said O’Brien made the point that it’s possible the International League “wouldn’t take kindly” to an upheaval if a court dispute arose and could have withdrawn the franchise from the stadium authority. The league could do so by declaring the stadium unfit for league play. That’s why Lackawanna County officials are eager to begin essentially rebuilding the stadium. The need to fund the local share of the multimillion-dollar renovation project is the impetus behind the stadium authority selling the franchise in the first place. Vale said withdrawing from the deal now also could strain relations with the New York Yankees. He noted

the Philadelphia Phillies threatened to withdraw their affiliate team, the Red BarVale ons, several years ago because the team wanted new locker rooms at the stadium. The Phillies got the new locker rooms for the Red Barons but withdrew their AAA team anyway. Vale also said many people thought the agreement that former Lackawanna County Commissioner Robert Cordaro negotiated with SWB Yankees too heavily favored the SWB Yankees. But, he said, O’Brien and fellow Commissioner Mike Washo negotiated revisions to the agreement to make it “a much better deal than the previous administration negotiated.” Vale said it’s important to note that the agreement gives the stadium authority first dibs to buy the franchise back if SWB Yankees does decide to move the team. If that were to happen, Vale said he and the other investors would still be prepared to buy the management rights or even the team itself. Vale wouldn’t name the other investors, but described them as a local financier, the owner of a local supermarket chain, a local surgeon and the surgeon’s partners. Vale said he and the other investors are disappointed they had to withdraw the offer. He said they were hoping to offer promotions for the local team through their businesses, such as bat and ball giveaways. “The Yankees and Mandalay don’t seem to understand the value of local partnerships,” Vale said.

PNC CONTRACT INKED Commissioners sign EwingCole to deal

BY RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com

SCRANTON – Lackawanna County Commissioners unanimously approved an architectural and engineering design contract with Philadelphia-based firm EwingCole on Wednesday for renovations to PNC Field as well as a real estate appraisal contract for the surrounding property. The design contract states that estimated construction costs for improvements to the 22-year-old stadium and current home to the Triple-A Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre Yankees will be about $28.7 million. The firm will be compensated $2,531,185 for the new design, which will feature seats sloping to field level and an “open concourse” around the park. Awarded to Noone & Associates in Mechanicsburg, the appraisal will not exceed $5,000 and will cover an approximate 30 acre tract of land. This will estimate the value of the land only and not the value of any existing improvements, including the stadium. The appraisal is required under the terms of the state grant application. A request for proposals for the design agreement was placed on Nov. 24, 2010. Interviews were conducted with two

firms on Dec. 21, when EwingCole was selected. Commissioners then waited for $20 million in state funds to be approved by Gov. Tom Corbett, which occurred in May, before moving forward with the project. “Not only did (EwingCole) do the assessment, but they were also retained by previous administrations to conduct work with respect to the facility, so they have a great deal of knowledge about this facility, the history of this facility, and our desire to really preserve the history of this facility as we move on to what will be a substantial renovation,” O’Brien explained. He said that in their earlier assessment, the firm informed the county that they would have to invest at least $13 million into the facility within the next five years just to have it up to code, including $1.2 million already spent to repair flood damage from 2009. Commissioner Mike Washo added that EwingCole had been working on the stadium since the early 1990s. “There were only two options. Either two or three years down the road, the league would just take the team and we’d be left with a stadium with no team, or we could work on

some arrangement to secure the future of baseball here in the county,” O’Brien said. “At the end of the day here, we’re getting a $40 million project with putting very little money into it.” Washo addressed taxpayer concerns with investing more money into the stadium and defended the commissioners’ reasoning for the project. Having sold the franchise to SWB Yankees, LLC, last year, he credited the current contract with Mandalay Baseball Properties, LLC, and Yankee Global Enterprises, LLC, with keeping baseball in the area for the next 30 years. While some have criticized Mandalay’s management, Washo said that they have had “great success” in other cities. With the economic downturn, the lack of regular giveaways are probably due more to the economy than Mandalay, as many were previously funded by private businesses who no longer have the spare resources. The economy, he felt, has also caused less sports fans to support baseball, citing other major cities that have seen their stadium attendance down over the last 10 years. “I think that a new stadium See PNC, Page 9

Ranakoski was given a three-day voluntary surrender period after the charges were filed on Aug. 19. According to

Klein, it was done as a scheduling matter to make sure the commonwealth was present for the arraignment and the bail conditions. “It’s just the way the case has worked out,” Klein said. “No two cases are alike. Our thoughts are prayers are with the family. It’s just unfathomable what it’s like to lose a 22month-old. I can’t even wrap my head around that.” Court papers allege that marijuana may have played a

part in the accident. “We won’t comment on any details of the case while it’s ongoing. But generally speaking, any time that any type of illegal substance, or for that matter when a young person is using alcohol and compounds it by getting behind the wheel of a vehicle, nothing good can ever come from that,” Klein said. The preliminary hearing will held Sept. 1 at 9:15 a.m. Bail was set at $50,000 straight bail.

SCRANTON - Two Scranton women are facing criminal charges for allegedly selling heroin out of an Olive Street apartment. Tara Simmons, 31, of East Mountain Road, and Jessica Saffarano, 22, of Olive Street, were charged Aug. 24. According to an affidavit: Scranton Ptlm. William Golden and Lackawanna County Detective John Munley executed a search warrant on an Olive Street home where Simmons and Saffarano were with another man.

“Without question, football was associated with Kyle Locker,” said Rushefski. “He was always a friendly student who would come back to Trail to cheer on football.” Kyle John Locker, 21, of Dalton, was a passenger killed in the crash last week, according to Lackawanna County Coroner Timothy Rowland. Driver Sean Michael Barrett, 22, Dickson City, was ejected from the vehicle and received critical injuries, according to police. The crash occurred at the Exit 188 on-ramp to Interstate 81 northbound at approximately 12:43 a.m. on Aug. 19, according to Pennsylvania State Police at Dunmore. Two other passengers, Kaycee Pezak, 22, Jessup, and Elizabeth McManus, 20, Scott Twp., had to be extricated from the vehicle by mechanical means. Trooper Thomas J. Krempasky said that the crash occurred as the vehicle lost control while negotiating a right curve in the roadway. In doing so, the vehicle traveled off the roadway and struck a light pole with its right side. Both Locker and Barrett did not have seat belts in use, according to police. Pezak, who received moderate injuries and McManus, who received serious injuries,

were both wearing seat belts. According to police, a preliminary investigation revealed that alcohol was a factor in the

contributing crash. Rushefski said that on the day of the crash, Lackawanna Trail football coach Steve Jervis spoke with members of the school’s football team who were freshmen when Locker was a senior. “They had a moment to reflect and remember.” He said the players and cheerleading squad acknowledged that “his death was truly a tragedy.” Rushefski said that while Locker was a senior at Lackawanna Trail, he and two other students requested permission of Rushefski to dedicate their senior project to refurbishing the school’s weight room. “They worked really hard. They did a first-class job,” he said. Locker was a student and football player at Lackawanna College. According to the school’s website, Locker was a freshman offensive lineman during the 2010-11 season. The college posted the following to its Facebook page following the crash: “The Lackawanna College family would like to express condolences to the family of student-athlete Kyle Locker who passed away in a car accident this morning. We are all saddened by the loss of a fellow Falcon.” A source close to the family who wished to remain anonymous said that, as a youth, Locker was a Cub Scout with Pack 21 in Dickson City.

Summit resident dreams of racing By JOE BARESS The Abington Journal correspondent

After earning a full scholarship to a prominent racing school, a 16-year-old Clarks Summit native has an opportunity to realize his dream. Jerry Tunney never thought he’d have an opportunity to become a NASCAR driver but after receiving a full scholarship to Race 101 in North Carolina, Tunney may be able to take his career to the next level. “It was the most exciting thing that has happened so far in my career,” Tunney said. “It opened up a door to more opportunities and the knowledge that I have learned in the program to take advantage of those opportunities and make them work in my favor.” At the age of nine, Tunney started racing remote control cars. His favorite track is the LA Speedway in Lake Ariel. “This is where I learned most of what I know and understand about car setup and chas-

sis adjustments,” Tunney said. After compiling more than 60 wins and five track championships, Tunney moved on to racing full size cars in 2010. He earned a Rookie of the Year nomination at Five Mile Point Speedway, which is the sight of his favorite race of his career. “I led almost every lap and fought side by side the last 10 laps to get the win,” Tunney said. “It was a huge milestone and really encouraged me to be better every week.” While working to better his career, Tunney continues to give back to the community. “I feel this is very important because I am encouraged by the community to excel in racing,” Tunney said. “I also enjoy the feeling of knowing that you are helping the place where you spent a lot of time as a child.” Tunney donated one of his authentic racing tires for a silent auction set for yesterday, Aug. 27, at the Clarks Summit Centennial Celebration. Proceeds benefited the Abington

Community Library. Tunney helped veteran race car driver Oscar Kovaleski with his Kidracer program during the event. Tunney is entering his sophomore year at Scranton Prep where he is on the cross country and track teams. His next race is Sept. 3 at Mountain Speedway. “I enjoy asphalt racing, and they have a very nice track and facility,” Tunney said. “I have learned a lot there so far this year, and most of my competitors are very nice and very willing to help me out.” Next year, Tunney will look to buy a new car and engine while racing throughout the northeast. He also plans to head south for a few races in Virginia and North Carolina. “My ultimate goal would be to make it to a point where I can live comfortably racing,” Tunney said. “NASCAR would be ideal, and I believe it would be possible with lots more hard work and dedication.”

A 5.9 seems to be, from what I can tell, on the very large end of what has been recorded at the seismic zone… in the last hundred or so years. “This is about as big as it gets in that region.” The United States Geological Survey website states that the largest quake in Virginia’s history was a magnitude 5.9 on May 31, 1897. The recent earthquake started at about 1:51 p.m., local time, and registered significant activity for almost 25 minutes, according to a seismic graph

A report, organized by zip code, of reactions to the event show between magnitude 2.1 and 4.6 tremors experience in Scranton, the USGS website states. Saginor said Tuesday’s earthquake will likely have some aftershocks. The USGS has already reported magnitude-2.8 and 2.2 aftershocks at 2:47 p.m. and 3:20 p.m., respectively. “For people in this region, it is unlikely that they’re going to feel any of the aftershocks,” Saginor said. “A 5.9 we felt, but if they’re coming out as fours or threes, they’re most likely not going to be felt – not like we did today.”

Officers Stevens and John Burgette traveled to C.G.’s Colfax Avenue home, and they called Duffy to identify him as the alleged passenger. “C.G. at first denied being in the car, however once I made it clear to him that I pulled up to him slowed down and looked right into his face, he admitted being in the car,” Duffy wrote in the affidavit. With his mother at his side, “C.G. also made statements in front of Officer Burgette and Sergeant (Pat) Gerrity about his knowledge of the vehicle being a stolen one.” Ptlm. Mike Carachilo with the department’s Auto Theft Task Force interviewed both juveniles at police headquarters. During the course of the investigation, Carachilo obtained information from the suspects that led to the location and recovery of three additional vehicles they had allegedly stolen over the past week. Carachilo also located a tampered key used to universally fit some brands of vehicles at one of the juvenile’s homes. Lackawanna County Deputy District Attorney Frank Castellano, head of the office’s juvenile division, said Friday that both young men waived their detention hearings in juvenile court on Thursday and were remanded to the county’s juvenile detention center pending further court proceedings. Castellano declined to identify the young men but said “B.T.” and “C.G.” are both charged with receiving stolen property and theft by unlawful taking. “B.T.” is also charged with unauthorized use of an automoble and driving without a license. The Scranton Police Department is continuing its investigation into possible related vehicle thefts.

Dr. Ian Saginor, assistant professor of earth science at Keystone College and geologist with the college’s seismic monitoring station, said he wasn’t able to access the Lamont-Doherty Cooperative Seismographic Network website until about 3:30 p.m. to track the afternoon quake. Before that time, Saginor said several people in the school’s library and surrounding Victorian houses felt tremors and that most were simply “confused” by the event. “It was absolutely felt on this campus,” he said. The reaction was similar in downtown Scranton as many workers and patrons exited buildings as they shook lightly. Local tweets indicated that The Commonwealth Medical College’s Medical Sciences Building and the William J. Nealon Federal Building were evacuated for a short time.

FEMA informs residents of flood zone change By TYLER MILES Go Lackawanna intern

SCRANTON – Residents in the city’s Green Ridge and Plot sections learned Monday that they may see a reduction in their flood insurance rates by up to 20 percent after the Federal Emergency Management Agency approved a new designation for those areas. FEMA declared those areas a Class A99 zone after realizing the improved safety and effectiveness of the levees currently in place. The A99 replaces a previous AE zone classification. “It’s a lower rate, but to determine what an individual’s rate is, we have to go structure by structure,” said Gene Gruber, FEMA’s director of mitigation. “It depends on what their coverages are, whether they have structure and contents - all sorts of factors go into it. That’s why we don’t like to say, ‘Okay, you’re going to save $300 each.’ That’s not the way it works. “Hopefully, there’s going

to be a reduction and hopefully a significant one.” Many storms have come to the area and hit hard since the levees have been built. If it weren’t for the improvements, major flood damage could have affected those sections of Scranton over the last decade. “There were summer storms in 2006, Hurricane Ivan in 2004, and significant water in the Lackawanna River that if it not maintained by the levees, structures, homes and businesses would have been severely damaged,” Gruber said. Another project, currently in the study phase, will have a new levee system built to protect other areas. One levee will be placed along the Lackawanna River, one from Olive Street to Poplar Street, and another from Albright Avenue to Wood Street. A levee system being built around the Plot is nearing its completion. “There is no timeline yet. A lot of it depends on fund-

ing,” said Jack Connolly, project manager for the Army Corps of Engineers. “So far we’ve spent around $90 million.” The Army Corps of Engineers is developing the cost for the project now. The funding is split between federal and local sponsors. Kevin Clarke, who lives in the city’s Plot section, was happy that some of his questions were answered Monday. “I found out some progress is taking place, where things stand right now and where they’ll stand in the future,” said Clarke. “Our neighbors are worried. There are still big concerns on flood insurance premiums and how they’ve gone up. “People are going to lose their homes over this if something isn’t done in a timely manner,” he continued, citing a spike in flood insurances costs that residents have seen over the last several years.

without “throwing all that money away,” which O’Brien said was a question best directed to EwingCole. While he believes government shouldn’t be involved in baseball, he agreed that PNC Field has been a “big boon for Lackawanna County.” “I think it’s going to be a great design, although I do have reservations as a taxpayer and a citizen about putting money back into the stadium,” Smallacombe said. “The (Lackawanna County Multi-Purpose Stadium Authority) has an agreement with the landowner that if the stadium doesn’t meet code, it actually reverts back to the landowner, so it’s something we have to do…It’s a project we have to undertake.”

“Our thoughts are exactly the same thoughts that (Lackawanna County Commissioner) Corey O’Brien expressed,” Larry Freedman, an executive vice president with Mandalay, said Thursday. “We feel we have a binding agreement with the stadium authority in Lackawanna County and we plan to honor it,” Freedman said. Former Lackawanna County commissioner Robert Cordaro negotiated the 2007 deal that gave SWB Yankees the option to buy the team. “The original option agreement was negotiated under what I think we would gener-

ally agree are terms that aren’t favorable, but also, in a certain sense, where the individual who negotiated may not be in a situation of good repute at this point,” Vale said Cordaro was convicted in June of 18 counts, including bribery, extorting and money laundering for demanding money from several contractors who did business with Lackawanna County. He is seeking a new trial.

He still sees the Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre Yankees as a good investment. “If you look at their books in 2010, they grossed $5.2 million, with projections for $6.4 million to $6.5 million in gross annual revenue with the new stadium.

Bomb unit officers are currently undergoing maintenance, assembly and troubleshooting training for their new metallic partner in the fight against crime. The newer model is much more powerful and can carry much more weight than previous models. “This particular vehicle is the most versatile unit,” Remote Tech Repair Manager Kim Tipton said. “It’s small enough to fit down the aisle of an aircraft yet robust enough to pull a downed person or a vehicle if you needed it to.”

CRANTON – It may not be able to answer what its prime directives are, but the new equipment purchased by the Scranton Police Department will help officers in intense, high pressure situations. City police unveiled a new, state-of-the-art robot built to assist the bomb unit on Aug. 24. The model F6B robot, which weighs nearly 500 pounds, is capable of having five cameras attached to it.

The bomb detection device was received from the Northeast Counter-Terrorism Task Force in Monroe County, Detective Sgt. Robert Martin explained. The nearly $300,000 machine was funded through various grants. “That (explosives) seems to be the preferred method of the terrorists. They use explosives, and so the government is focused on putting more money in these programs,” Martin said regarding the grants. The new robot is much larger and more versatile in comparison to the previous one that police in Scranton have used for six years. The equipment upgrade will significantly enhance the capa-

SCRANTON – Lackawanna County Prison Warden Robert McMillan gave his first official report to the Lackawanna County Prison Board on Wednesday, updating the board on continuing overtime issues and the results of a random drug search last month. Newly appointed by the board and county commissioners on June 22, McMillan reported that the prison’s most recent payroll total was $67,591.34. While this was $4,686.48 less than the same week last year, total payroll for 2011thus far is $779,983.43 with 10 remaining pay weeks left. The budget allows for $1,225,000, leaving a difference of only $445,016.57 for the rest of 2011. In 2010, $1,228,934.76 was spent on payroll, which was $353,934.76 over the budgeted amount. “Overtimeisgoingtocontinuetoremain high,” McMillan explained. “With the current staffing level, all medical trips that leave the facility are overtime.” This is due, he noted, to many employeestakingtheirvacationtimeduring the summer as well as an average of10 medical trips per week, including oneinmatewhorequiresdialysisthree times a week, which the warden said was “a rarity.” He expects overtime to drop in October.

McMillan said that other than one paper soaked in a suspected substance that was sent for testing, the team found no traces of tobacco or drugs in the entire facility. “We’re dedicated to running a safe, secure facility,” McMillan said after the board meeting, adding that an investigation into corrections officers that allegedly supplied inmates with tobacco is still ongoing.

SCRANTON – The city’s most recent cash flow analysis continues to paint an already bleak picture for 2011. The report, obtained Thursday from Business Administrator Ryan McGowan, shows that expenses increased sharply, creating nearly $1.5 million in losses that wiped out last month’s projected surplus. McGowan’s July expenditure forecast showed year-end revenue estimates at $64,859,895 while expenses totaled $64,209,881–aprojectedsurplus of $650,015. With July’s actual figures accounted for in the August report, revenues are projected at $63,487,863 through December

while expenses hit $64,353,236 before the payment of Tax Anticipation Notes – a loss of $865,373. The TAN payments send the final deficit to $7,347,470, according to the report, more than $1 million projected last month.

Fire Fighters Local 60 President Dave Gervasi said he found the decision “remarkable.” “I thought we had hit the floor,” Gervasi said regarding cuts to the fire department. “This is getting dangerous now.” Gervasi strongly believes that the city will be unable to fight two fires at the same time as a result of the loss of eight more suppression workers. City solicitor Paul Kelly said he has no prior knowledge of the minimum manning clauses being challenged before the current legal battle despite their position Thursday that they were illegal, but he did indicate that it could have repercussions on future ordinances crafted by the city’s legislative arm. “This could be precedent setting,” he said. Doherty said Friday that it is up to council to legally challenge the administration on ordinances they feel aren’t being enforced by the mayor. “They had to take me if they passed it and I ignored it,” he said. The cuts to police and fire personnel came down as a result of alleged failings in city council’s approved 2011 budget. “We’re going to have to make decisions to shore up our finances,” Doherty said. When asked if more public safety cuts could be coming, Doherty said, “Nothing is off the table.”

NEWS

SCRANTON – A senior judge has denied a motion by 21 public safety workers to hold off their termination in line with city council’s manning clauses approved in 2010. The attorneys representing the eight fire fighters and 13 police officers who will lose their jobs Monday and the city presented their arguments over the minimum manning clauses in a mandamus hearing on Thursday. Stephen Holroyd, an attorney with Philadelphia-based Jennings Sigmond, P.C., the firm that has handled many of the police and fire unions’ complaints against the city, said Files of Council 57 and 58 that set manpower for the police and fire departments at 150 and 137 workers, respectively, are being violated by Doherty through the cuts. Cuts, which were announced July 29 by Mayor Chris Doherty and are effective Monday, Aug. 29, are the result of tumultuous financial circumstances that the city faces, Doherty has said. “As a result of these layoffs…both departments are going to fall below the minimum staffing requirements,” Holroyd said before Senior Judge Harold Thompson. The departments experienced losses through attrition, and final staffing would drop to

129 firefighters and police would fall to 135. “We believe the language of the ordinances is clear and unequivocal,” Holroyd said. Assistant city solicitor Gina McAndrew argued that the legality of council’s legislation is unclear and that council has no authority to set minimum staffing requirements. “The power to layoff is a traditionally executive authority,” she said, adding that the city’s financial circumstances are reason enough for the layoffs. “It’s more than just mere inconvenience for the city to employ these people. It’s illegal,” McAndrew said. “The city is in a financial crisis. The executive authority in making the layoffs is one step in remedying the financial situation faced by the city.” Thompson’s decision denies the motion for mandamus and sides strongly with the city’s argument. “It is a well settled principle of our American government that Fire and Police personnel are within the executive branch…. This Court finds Files of the Council Numbers 57 and 58 to be improper commands of an authority reserved to the executive branch and outside City Council’s province of action pursuant to the Home Rule Charter of 1974,” Thompson wrote in his opinion.

Families came to the Progressive Center on Olive Street Wednesday to receive new and used uniforms for children in need. Last year, over 400 children were served through this program. The program, which was staffed by volunteers including 15 students from the University of Scranton, helps fulfill UNC’s mission of helping area residents remain self sufficient, Communications Coordinator Alison Woody said Friday.

SCRANTON - In an effort to createnewrevenuesinthefaceof a growing fiscal crisis, city administrators this week sought a second round of bids for a proposal that council hoped would generate up to $300,000 in their 2011 budget. Business Administrator Ryan McGowan confirmed Thursday that the city is accepting bids for a 60-day trial of a parking meter system. All proposals must be sent to the city controller at Scranton City Hall, 340 N. Washington Ave., by 10 a.m. on Sept. 13. The original request for sealed bids were published Aug. 21 and 22, according to a copy of the notice retrieved from pa.mypublicnotices.com. “We had committed to putting the bid out. There were questions of whether it was a sole source or not,” McGowan said, addressing the city’s earlier concerns over alleged sole source technology from StreetSmart

John Miskell, an account manager for the Georgia-based company, has appeared in public caucuses before city council twice in the last year to pitch the technology which increases capture rates for parking offenses and turnover rates that could possibly improve foot traffic to downtown businesses. Two of three solicitors serving the city felt the technology was not a sole source solution which resulted in a bidding process this spring, McGowan said Thursday. “We bid it out, and proper procedures weren’t followed so I couldn’t award it to anyone. Now we’re in the process of going back out to see if this can generate the necessary revenue,” he said.

Some of the victims were too poor for their own graves and were buried together, and some of their stones are either missing completely or difficult to read today. The cause of the fire was debated by a Coroner’s Jury in 1869. Some believed it originated from a spark thrown by the mine’s coal-powered ventilating furnace, which brought clean air underground for the miners to breathe, while some say that the blaze was started on purpose. The incident had occurred only days after the Avondale workers helped break up a three-month, region-wide strike that was largely supported by their fellow Irish workers, who were largely absent that morning. The secret society known as the Molly Maguires, in particular, were named as suspects by the Welsh community, through the jury ultimately

I didn’t know it was this bad,’” Scott said. “If I had the time and money, I would spread it out to other sections, but it was $6,000 just to do the small plot we did.” Mayor Chris Doherty, who spoke at the 140th anniversary ceremony but will be unable to See AVONDALE, Page 18

“I come over here twice a week to visit my in-laws’ graves, and I see people with their loved ones here pulling up in their pick-up trucks with lawnmowers and weed wackers saying, ‘The only way this grave is going to look good is if I take care of it myself,’” Newcomb, Sr. described. “If you can’t pay kids minimum wage to come in here and mow the grass for three months, you’re just greedy,” Charles Newcomb, Jr. added. It cost Newcomb, Sr. $975 up front to open his mother-in-law’s grave when she passed in 2009, he said, yet he had only paid $350 to bury his mother just a few years earlier in the Dunmore Cemetery, which is kept “beautiful.” This, among other issues, caused him to question where the money was going. “If my grass was overgrown or my house looked like this, I guarantee they would be knocking on my door, and if I didn’t do what I was told, I’m sure I’d be hit with a fine,” Newcomb, Sr. said. “My concern is that if I was cited, I’d have to clean up my property and I’d still have to pay the fine. Why is this not being enforced? Why is he being protected?” Newcomb, Jr. asked. Rader, also the owner of Charles J. Rader Insurance in Scranton, is well-known in the area as the coach and co-founder of the former Lackawanna County Eagles football team and lives in the same neighborhood as city attorney Carl Greco and Mayor Chris Doherty, according to Lackawanna County tax records.

Charles “Chick” Rader, owner of the Washburn Street Cemetery in West Scranton, was roasted in May at the Scranton Cultural Center to benefit a local charity. Many of the guests ribbed him about his habitually poor maintenance of the cemetery, but to residents of the adjacent Hyde Park neighborhood, the conditions are no laughing matter. While issues with upkeep had been going on since its previous owner, John Rogan, pleaded guilty to theft charges in1992 for embezzling perpetual care funds, Rader was cited by the city’s Licensing, Inspections, and Permits department in May of this year for high grass and hazardous sidewalks after numerous citizens complained about the conditions at a meeting of Scranton City Council. Residents were describing more than just uncut grass, however. Weeds and poison ivy had engulfed many of the graves, and trees left splintered branches strewn across the roads. Dozens of tombstones were toppled, broken, thrown in piles, or simply sunk into the ground. Illegal dumping of tires, mattresses, Christmas decorations, and other garbage were being regularly thrown onto a heap in the back. Maintenance was sporadic, at best. The citation Rader received was revoked after conditions began to improve, but he was cited once again June for high grass and other issues. Again, the citation was pulled. “A couple of weeks ago, (inspector) Don McKean revoked the citation due to them complying with the request that was made,” LIPs Director Mark Seitzinger said Friday. “They’ve been taking care of it now. If it happens again, then obviously citations will be issued. They will not be withdrawn and we will go to court with them.” While the department plans to follow up next week, neighbors say they are sick of excuses from the city. Charles Newcomb, Sr., who lives within walking distance of the cemetery, said that despite several calls, he and his family have yet to receive a satisfying response from the city or Rader himself.

this is a case of “friends protecting friends,” but Doherty said on Friday that that Rader is “absolutely Rader not” receiving any special treatment, speaking to him about his citations in June. “I know Chick Rader, but I told him, ‘You’ve got to clean it up or get out of the business. You have no choice. Clean it up not only for those who are buried there, but for those in the neighborhood.’ …It’s also the right thing to do because he has a contractual arrangement with people who have their loved ones buried there,” Doherty explained. “His responsibility is really simple – cut the grass. We’re on him. It’s going to be constant. He’s not getting any relief…If he’s unable to do it, he should be selling the business.” Since reporters visited the cemetery in May, some visible improvements have been made. Weeds and poison ivy also continue to grow across and over many tombstones while others remain fallen or gathered in piles, however. Neighbors continue to claim that the only reason some sections were mowed was because residents took matters into their own hands. “I can’t go over there without being sick. I get physically ill when I see the state it’s in,” Newcomb, Jr. said. “If Rader’s family was buried there, would he treat it the same way?”

ruled it an accident. “We need to keep their memory alive,” Scott said. “How many people know that Avondale miners are buried in West Scranton? How many people even know what the Avondale Mining Disaster was? They may not be here anymore, but their souls are there.”

By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES chughes@golackawanna.com

A former University of Scranton graduate student has sued the institution over an alleged wrongful expulsion. Philadelphia-based Atty. William C. Reil, representing Jersey City, N.J. resident Kristen Hart, filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania on Aug. 23. The suit alleges that Hart was illegally dismissed from the university while pursuing a master’s degree in educational administration. She began classes in Jan. 2009 through an online program. “Shortly before she was about to receive her degree, plaintiff was dismissed from the University of Scranton for alleged plagiarism arising out of using an excerpt from her own work in a paper for the class of Professor (George) Jones,” the suit claims.

Jones, who allegedly taught Hart’s online practicum in elementary education course, and the university are listed as codefendants in the case. The paper in question was submitted electronically in Aug. 2010 and was given a zero grade “which cased (sic) her expulsion from the University.” The suit claims that the defendants “fraudulently misrepresented to plaintiff that she violated her contract with the University” and “the code of academic dishonesty.” The university also allegedly failed to give Hart a hearing over the alleged plagiarism case. Hart is seeking $15,000 for lost tuition, books and additional expenses. Combined with legal fees, the suit seeks $150,000 for “monetary damages, as well as consequential damages” including lost opportunities for professional advancement, and reinstatement in the school.

Marriages, divorces raise important legal questions Q: My wife of 14 years wants a divorce, but I would like to try to work things out. Can she divorce me if I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree? A: Pennsylvania allows couples to divorce without proving fault, so yes, she can move forward with the divorce even if you do not agreement or cooperate. If you do not agree to the divorce, then she cannot ask the court to enter divorce decree until you have been living separate and apart for at least two years. If you are sincere in your desire to stay in your marriage, you can ask the court to order marriage counseling. While the court will not order extensive counseling, when requested, the court will order a maximum of three counseling sessions. Keep in mind that although you can hold the divorce off for at least two years. If you do not participate, you may compromise your custody rights if you have any children and your wife has included a custody action in the complaint, and you may lose valuable property rights. Q: My boyfriend and I have been living together for nine years. We have two kids together. We talked about getting married but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the money and it feels like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already married. One of my friends told me that we are common law husband and wife since weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been together for more than seven years. Is this true? A: Your friend is incorrect. As of January 2005, common law marriage is no longer valid in Pennsylvania although common law marriages entered into prior to January 2, 2005 remain valid. In any event, contrary to popular belief, there never was a seven-year requirement to create a common law marriage. Prior to January 2005, in order to have a common law marriage, the couple must have exchanged words indicating their intent to be married and the couple must have held themselves out to the public as being married by referring to each other as husband and wife, filing joint tax returns, using the same name, and so on.

LEGAL LEADERS JILL MILLER AND ASSOCIATES If you and your boyfriend want the rights and responsibilities of being married but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the desire or money for a wedding, it is in your best interest to get a marriage license and contact your county courthouse, city hall or religious leader to make it official. Q: I have primary physical custody of my two children. Their father and I are divorced. My ex-husband is supposed to have the kids every other weekend, but he hardly shows up to take them. I got remarried in September. My husband has been laid off for over a year and has been offered a job near Philadelphia that pays well. If he accepts the job, he will start in two weeks. I want to go with him and take the kids. Is there anything I need to do? A: You may need to file a petition for relocation, although the mere fact that you are moving does not necessarily mean that you are â&#x20AC;&#x153;relocating.â&#x20AC;? A relocation occurs if the move interferes with the other parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exercise of custody. Before moving the children, you should inform your exhusband of your intention to move with the children. You and he may be able to agree on an arrangement regarding his custody. For example, you might agree to transport the children to him so he can exercise his periods of custody or agree to meet one another at a half way point. You might also allow him longer periods of custody over holidays or during the summer. If you come to an agreement, you should memorialize it in writing and have it approved by the court.

Group plans culinary event for Scranton

By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES chughes@golackawanna.com

A kick-off event is set for Oct. 8, from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Connell Lofts, 129 N. Washington Ave., Scranton, for a “quick sampling of everything that is Electric City.” Proceeds from the event will benefit a local non-profit organization, KKPR President and Founder Katrina Foster said. The local event comes two years after Foster created “Restaurant Week Along the Delaware.” The idea to move it to Scranton emerged within

the last three weeks, she said. “I really love to eat,” Foster, a Milford resident, said. “I love food, I love wine, and I launched this brand in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania last year and the year before and called it ‘Restuarant Week Along the Delaware.’ It was eight counties in three states. Locals got to go out and try all of these really great restaurants for a fraction of the cost. “It gives restaurants an opportunity to offer their product and service for a fraction of the cost while hopefully attracting new customers to keep them coming back.” The event is a mimic of NYC Restaurant Week. Launched in 1992 and continuing this year through Sept. 5, the urban culinary event attracted 320 eateries in 2011, according to its website. Restaurants who sign up will be asked to offer a three-course, prix-fixe meal. Dinners will be sold for under $32, and lunches will be offered for up to $15, Marketing and Communications Coordinator Caitlan Vill, also of Milford, said.

GET INVOLVED Restaurants can register for “Electric City Restaurant Week” for $100 for lunch only specials if they sign up before Sept. 12 or $135 afterward. Eateries who wish to offer lunch and dinner options may register for $250 before Sept. 12 and $285 after. For more information, call Caitlan Vill or Katie Knapp at (570) 296-2333 or visit www.electriccityrw.com.

The various menus offered by area eateries makes it an attractive place to start. “There’s such an influence of cultures here,” Vill said, noting existing Thai, Brazilian and Mediterranean restaurants in Scranton alone. “We’re very open to Clarks Summit, Dickson City, Old Forge, and more.” The goal for this fall is to attract 25 businesses to participate in the inaugural week. With success, Foster said KKPR will coordinate bi-annual events, returning first in the spring of 2012.

It’s always nerdy in Philadelphia I love movies, but I don’t usually watch the Academy Awards. I love music, but I never watch the MTV Video Music Awards. One awards ceremony that I couldn’t miss this year, however, was the Philadelphia Geek Awards, held on Friday, Aug. 19. The awards were created by the aptly-named Geekadelphia, a website founded in 2007 by self-proclaimed geeks who blog about other geeks and relevant events in the City of Brotherly Love. I started following the blog a few months ago, as I often travel to the city for concerts and other gatherings that don’t make their way to northeastern Pennsylvania, but with it being their first annual awards ceremony, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Like a protest gathering of “Anonymous,” it was basically the Internet appearing in real life, minus all those Guy Fawkes masks. It was a black tie event held at The Academy of Natural Sciences, so everyone was dressed to the nines with fresh tape around their glasses, but it was a much more laid-back atmosphere than that implies. Both presenters and winners were engaging and witty, and many in-jokes and Internet memes flew throughout the evening. For those who usually find geeks to be quiet and socially awkward, the awards may have come as quite the (pop) culture shock. The show’s master of ceremonies was writer, graphic designer, and stand-up comedian Doogie Horner, perhaps best known as a semifinalist on “America’s Got Talent.” Opening with a tongue-incheek story about how the deep divide between technically-minded nerds and more fun-loving geeks separated him from his father, he obviously knew the crowd he was playing for. “Some people think nerds

INFINITE IMPROBABILITY RICH HOWELLS and geeks are the same thing. Those people are n00bs,” Horner cracked. Accepting many of the nominations from online readers, the plaques were presented in 18 categories to local businesses, blogs, webmasters, filmmakers, podcasters, vodcasters, journalists, gamers, comic book artists, app and game developers, festival organizers, and even breweries. The ceremony had something for everybody, and the planned entertainment such as a dedication video to those lost to Philadelphia because they moved to other cities were just as amusing as the acceptance speeches. The last speech by a representative from the blog “Naked Philly” wearing a giant fox mask was particularly funny as the show stealer comically played up how little he could see in the suit while still managing to read his list that thanked everyone on the planet for his win. A lot of things were done right at this event, in fact. The museum setting was both classy and appropriate, and tickets were limited but not unattainable; each ticket was a pay-what-you-want donation to the academy. Everything ran smoothly and moved along quickly, making it hard to believe that this was really their first event. The only downside for me, as an outsider from Scranton, was that a few of the local jokes flew over my head and I wasn’t really all that familiar with many of the winners. This didn’t stop me from enjoying myself, of course, as I kind of counted on that happening. Really, I was just curious what our neighbors were up to and I hoped it would be cool. Philly definitely did not disappoint, although they truly need to do something

about all that traffic, which made me miss that all-important cocktail hour. Scrantonians need to kick off all major events with a bit of drinking, after all. Locally, the only comparison to the Geek Awards I can make is the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce’s annual SAGE (Scranton Awards for Growth and Excellence) Awards, honoring businesses in the city with an amazing red carpet gala event last year that was a blast for everyone involved. If Scranton had more of a solidified geek scene, I’d say that something along those lines would be possible here, but I guess “The Office” convention will have to do for now. As First Friday continues to grow, however, I could see the art and music scenes taking a cue from all this. Who doesn’t like a pat on the back, after all, even if it’s only your own friends and colleagues doing the patting? So to the staff at Geekadel-

phia, I salute your hard work and creativity and I look forward to next year, when I hope to be in tune with a bit more of what the largest city in the commonwealth has to offer, as much as I love cheesesteaks and Rocky. Website co-founders Eric Smith and Tim Quirino asked at the end of the ceremony

for suggestions to improve the event, and as selfish as it sounds, I just have one. Please consider an award for those of us just outside the area who may patronize your fair city. While that may defeat the purpose a bit, we certainly love Philly, too. After all, even Ben Franklin was born in Boston.

But in northeastern Pennsylvania, is also has come to symbolize the return of the Steamtown Original Music Showcase. spread over three days, the bulk of the action takes place on Sunday. Starting as early as 2:00 p.m. and going well until the late hours of Monday morning, bands like A Fire With Friends, MiZ, Nowhere Slow, Laser Sex, Super Bob, and Graces Downfall can be found playing at seven different Scranton venues.

enough. “It’s sadly one of the very few things left helping the original music scene,” Kester explained. “Besides the Weekender/Mountaingrown Original Music Series, off the top of my head I can’t think of one thing that helps the scene. There’s not much left besides a couple of venues that promote it on a regular basis.” The Weekender and Go Lackawanna are both products of Impressions Media. For one night, venues like the Scranton Hardware Bar, Trax, and Kildares, will host original musicians in venues that traditionally hire cover bands. “It’s cool to go to these places and see different faces come out during this event, but it’s definitely weird playing our own songs,” Kester said. “I’ll be on stage thinking to myself ‘Oh man, are we going to get in trouble for playing this?’” The people that come out are dire hard local fans, according to Kester. “I personally see new faces,” he said. “Normally, I see the same people because I’m playing the same songs in the same band every weekend. This has the real festival atmosphere with multiple bands and it sets a different vibe that I definitely think people enjoy." Professional drummer AJ Jump shared many of Kester’s See BANDS, Page 26

MUSIC SCHEDULE:

The Steamtown Original Music Showcase is an annual event that takes place each Labor Day weekend in downtown Scranton. This year, from Sept. 2 to 4, clinics, panels and various performances will be offered throughout Scranton.. Nowhere Slow, a band that has been a part of the Showcase since its origin six years go, plays as a cover band to the nightlife on weekends but has also released four well-written original records. “It has grown immensely,” Gillette said. “You can really see John’s (Phillips’) ambition from year to year to help grow the scene. Not that I’ve ever doubted him, but I never thought the event would become this large. It’s something that everyone in the area should be proud of and attend.” For other musicians, it’s a true honor to be considered for the bill, as A Fire With Friends lead singer Dan Rosler said. “I started the band with another girl, and we didn’t even have a name,” Rosler said. “We would practice in parking lots and other random places. Now, we’re a seven-piece playing a three-day festival in our home town. It’s almost surreal.” Matt Kester, whose musical credits run from drumming with countless bands — currently Nowhere Slow — to live audio production, feels the showcase is a great tool, but may not be

“It surprised me, and it’s nice to be surprised on these trips. That provides a lot of good photography.” The photo, taken in Sept. 2007, is a “bombsight view” of a roundhouse at the Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton. It was originally taken for John Gussenhoven’s book, “Crisscrossing America,” first released in 2009. The photo is one of 15 selected by the United States Postal Service for a set of stamps titled “Earthscapes” due to be released in Oct. 2012 and one of five from Wark – the most of any single source. The others showcase the Grand Prismatic Spring at Yellowstone National Park; a castle butte in the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park in southeastern Utah; barge fleeting in a Houston, Texas port; and a series of Manhattan skyscraper apartments. Wark founded Air Photo in 1990 following his retirement, and his son, John, now operates the business. The former Navy lieutenant who served as a pilot in the states from 1954 to 1958 and former 12-year air show pilot combined his prior experience in geology and love of the earth with his aerial expertise to build a dream job. “I really wasn’t a photographer,”

Plan meals to maximize savings

Back-toschool time means that it’s time to get back to a schedule. In our house, we haven’t followed a meal schedule all summer and have been snacking a little more than we should. With the new school year right around the corner, meal time can become expensive and stressful. Here are some tips to help you get through meal planning, from sunrise to sunset, on a budget. The best way to save is to scan all grocery circulars and make a list of sale items that you can use for meals throughout the week. Then make a reasonable budget of what you would like to spend on meals for the week. A great way to save money on meals is to plan ahead to include items for breakfast, lunch, snacks and

Ourafter will be performing at the showcase on Sunday. This year, Breaking Benjamin drummer Chad Szelliga will showcase his talents in a Friday night clinic, and guitarist/songwriter Chad Taylor of LIVE hosts a music business seminar on Saturday afternoon. “I really wanted to give fans something to look forward to with the clinics,” Phillips said. “It’s almost like a pre-showcase kick off to give everyone a little taste of the big night.” Phillips even expanded the national acts into the perform-

supposed to feed the brain. Breakfast is probably the most inexpensive meal because you can stock up on pantry items that have a long expiration date. We are seeing more coupons for breakfast items such as eggs, cereal, and frozen items. For those that don’t have time for breakfast, look for deals on like Nutri Grain Bars. This week Price Chopper has Kellogg’s Nutri Grain Bars or Special K Bars on sale for two for $5. Use the Aug. 7 Red Plum coupon for $1 off two boxes for greater savings. Cereal is a great stockpile item, especially when you pair a sale with coupons. Shur Save Markets has General Mills Cereal at three for $9, plus up to $2.50 in free fruit. You can save more is you use the Aug. 7 General Mills coupon for $1 off three boxes or $1 off two boxes of Cheerios from www.cheerios.com. When purchasing lunch

items, it can be tricky to stay within a budget. Look for sales on lunch meat and bread. Bread can be frozen, so it’s not a bad idea to stock up when there is a sale. I often stock up with Price Chopper has a sale that is buy one, get two free. It’s a great way to avoid running out of bread. This week at Shur Save, grab Maier’s Italian Bread, buy one, get one free. Pantry items like peanut butter and jelly are great items to stock up on and usually have a long shelf life. Also, remember that leftovers make great lunches. It’s rare to find coupons for snacks, so it’s a good idea to buy snacks on sale or when there is a cash back offer like Extra Care Bucks at CVS or Up Rewards at Rite Aid. Many stores offer snacks BOGO Free, which is also a great stockpile price. Buying snacks in bulk is also a good idea since the shelf life is

also very long. If you buy in bulk, try to separate snacks into serving sizes and place them in ziplock bags. Not only will you save money, but you will also save time with your prepacked snacks. Dinner is probably the most hectic meal of the day, so it’s probably best to plan a weekly dinner plan around your grocery order. Buy meats that are on sale and plan the meals according to the meat. Write down the meals for each night before heading to the store and make a list of items that you will need in order to complete each meal. Planning ahead doesn’t just save you money and stress, but it also allows more family time at night. Jenna Urban, the Go Lackawanna Deal Detective, is a mother of three children in Dunmore.

feelings. “It’s always good when musicians come together; it’s good for commodity, it’s really just good for everything,” Jump said. “But unless these places let the artists play their own stuff every night, it can’t really help on a major scale.” It’s not uncommon for venues to turn into an original music hotspot for one night, according to Jump, who has played music festivals as close as Allentown and as big as SXSW. “At this level, it doesn’t help or hurt,” Jump said. “The event needs time to grow, which it has, and things need to happen the other 364 days out of the year. Scranton isn’t a known place to go and play shows.” Jump said the only thing that can truly help the scene around here are venues that do not form “cliques” and only appeal to one group of people. For there to be change in the music scene, a venue similar to The Falcon of The Cyber Café in New York City needs to pop up locally. “There are places like that all

aul Rudd hops from sofa to sofa as the title character in “Our Idiot Brother,” and that’s sort of what the film itself does, too. Rudd stars as an amiable, ambling dude named Ned who has no real goals in life; what he does have is a guilelessness that consistently gets him into trouble, both with his family and the law. (At the film’s start, he sells pot to a uniformed police officer, which earns him brief time behind bars.) He has a knack for always saying or doing the wrong thing, though he always means well.

Director Jesse Peretz, working from a script written by his sister, Evgenia Peretz, and her husband, David Schisgall, follows him as he bumbles his way from one situation to the next with no great momentum or sense of character evolution. Ned grows increasingly irritating to his hippie farmer ex-girlfriend (Kathryn Hahn), the three sisters he mooches off (Emily Mortimer, Elizabeth Banks and Zooey Deschanel) and to us. But then supposedly once they’ve all shunned him for causing so much inadvertent damage, they take him back because they realize what a positive influence he is in their lives. It makes no sense — there’s a gap of

logic and emotion that’s hard to overcome. Still, the usually likable Rudd is totally committed to playing this annoying, goofy schlub in cargo shorts and shaggy facial hair. You don’t blame the sisters for ostracizing him — but then they’re all drawn in such an unlikable, two-dimensional way, you won’t want to be on their side either. Director Peretz says they’re all meant to represent specific New York types, but they never feel like fully realized people. First, Ned stays with Mortimer’s Liz, See IDIOT, Page 31

Offensive threats on the field

Kaitie Notarianni and Julie Hubbard apparently were anxious to get the season started. The two former all-state performers at Abington Heights did not wait long to put goals on the scoreboard.

KEEPING SCORE

TOM ROBINSON One week after Hubbard was among the first few players to score goals in National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I women’s soccer games around the country this season, Notarianni scored the first goal in the entire nation in Division I field hockey Friday. At just 14 minutes past noon and with only 12:04 expired on the official game clock, Holy Cross had

the misfortune of leaving a loose rebound in front of the cage. That is a mistake with Notarianni in the circle. With the speed and tenacity that have allowed her to become the active career goalscoring leader at Quinnipiac University, Notarianni got there first to start the scoring and send the Bobcats on their way to a 6-2 victory. “I was fortunate to get one that quickly,” Notarianni said. “I was in the right place at the right time.” The goal was the 14th of Notarianni’s career. With 31 points, the

senior forward has moved up to 14th on the school’s career points list. Hubbard, on the other hand, is just getting started at the University of Connecticut. In her first official game after transferring from Penn State, where she briefly was a starter early last season as a sophomore, Hubbard carried the offense for the Huskies. Her goal 22:02 into the opener Aug. 19 gave Connecticut the lead before falling, 2-1, to See ROBINSON, Page 33

Throop advances to MVLL finals Throop (Gilbride Limo) defeated Green Ridge (Post 908), 10-7, in the semifinals of the Mid Valley Little League Tournament. The win sends Throop into this week’s championship game against Archbald. Matt Donaghy homered and doubled while Brendan Kucharski had three hits, including two doubles, to lead the Throop offense. Mario Giannone and Aaron Polon each added two hits in support of winning pitcher R.J. Gouldsbury. Nate McMullen doubled twice and Colin Mullen homered for Green Ridge.

Pens again open season at home The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins will open the American Hockey League season at home for the 12th consecutive year. The Penguins will host the Hershey Bears Oct. 8 at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza. The Saturday opener is one of 28 home games – out of 38 – to be played on the weekend. The Penguins opened their inaugural 1999-2000 season on the road and have started out at home every season since. Season ticket information is available by calling 208-PENS. Information on individual ticket sales will be released at a later date.

Royals bring in Ranck The University of Scranton men’s basketball program has added Lewisburg graduate Kyle Ranck, who has transferred from Ithaca College. The 6-foot-5 guard/forward played one season of baseball at Ithaca, but has four years of eligibility left in basketball. He averaged 15 points, six rebounds and four assists as a senior at Lewisburg.

more than ever before.” Notarianni said the seniors are responsible for trying to remind their teammates all the little things they wish they realized could factor into a team’s success. They are reminding their teammates to be well-rested and as ready as possible for each game. It helps when the seniors show the way as Notarianni did in producing the quick start. She did not realize the distinction of scoring the first goal in the country until it was pointed out to her later Friday. “I thought that was pretty cool, but I didn’t think I had my best game,” said Notarianni, who is adjusting to a slightly different role within the forward line. “It’s not the best game I could have had, but it was something to get started.” Hubbard and Notarianni each made sure getting started did not take long.

Northeastern. Hubbard received a pass in close and put her ball-handling skills to work, dribbling around the goalie for the score. “I am very excited for Julie,” UConn assistant coach Zac Shaw said. “She is a special player who will continue to have a huge impact for us the rest of the season.” While seven of her teammates took one shot each, Hubbard was at the center of the Connecticut offense with nine shots. Hubbard had to miss Thursday’s 3-0 win over Colgate with an illness, and since Sunday’s game has been cancelled, she is hoping to be back for the next game Friday at Wake Forest. The preseason and openers provided clear signs that both Abington Heights graduates could be in line for big seasons. Hubbard also assisted on a goal in one of two Connecticut preseason wins and has been a focal point of the Huskies attack. Notarianni scored two of her team’s goals in a 3-0 victory over Fairfield in the only exhibition game and said she joins her fellow seniors in being hungry to make their last season special. “We were thinking about that the other day,” Notarianni said. “We didn’t realize as freshmen what the seniors are saying.

Mike Williams thought it could not get any better. “This is the way you want to start the season off,” Williams said Aug. 19 at Scranton Municipal after watching his Abington Heights golf team post a 10stroke victory over Scranton Prep behind Dalton Coldwater’s even-par effort in the Jackman Memorial Tournament. “There’s nothing better: A team championship and an individual championship.” The Comets actually found something better: Two team championship and two individual championships on the first two days of competition. Eric Montella shot an evenpar, 72 Monday to lead the Comets to a 12-stroke victory over Mifflin County in the Bolton Invitational at the 6,686-yard Penn State Blue Course. The Comets posted a threeplayer score of 226. Alex Altier shot 76 and Anthony Sebastianelli 78 to contribute to the team title. Abington Heights also finished the first week of Lackawanna League play at 2-0 to match Holy Cross, Scranton Prep and North Pocono for the early South Division lead. Dunmore is 1-0. GIRLS’ GOLF Scranton Prep won the team title and Forest City’s Katie Zefran was the individual champion of the Jackman Memorial Girls’ Tournament at Scranton Muni Tuesday. The top four Classics shot 369 to edge Holy Cross by six shots for the team title. In the season opener, Holy Cross had defeated Scranton Prep for the team championship in the Marian Invitational at Mountain Valley Golf Course. Zefran shot 39-38 for a 5-overpar, 77 Tuesday. North Pocono’s Amanda Reach was low senior with 43-38— 81. Dalessandro, who won the Marian Invitational individual title, was low junior in a playoff over Selena Cerra of Holy Cross. Dalessandro shot 42-38—40 then posted a birdie on1, the first playoff hole. Cerra shot 40-40— 80. Emily Okrepkie of Holy Cross

GIRLS’ TENNIS The top two teams from last year’s Division 1 standings and the division’s two most recent champions went head-to-head in Monday’s league opener. Abington Heights began defense of its title with a 4-1 win at Wallenpaupack. Courtney Ostrowski, Alexa Abdalla and Tyra Abdalla lost just seven games in six sets combined while sweeping the singles points. Ostrowski, the defending District 2 Class AAA champion, downed Annette Deutsch, 6-2, 6-0. Four teams got off to 2-0 starts. Abington Heights and Delaware Valley are 2-0 in Division 1 where Honesdale is 1-0. Valley View is 2-0 and Scranton Prep 1-0 in Division 2. Riverside is 2-0 and Elk Lake 1-0 in Division 3. SOFTBALL Valley View sophomore Gina Chieffalo and Old Forge first baseman Andrea Alsalahat were first-team selections on the Pennsylvania Softball Coaches Association all-state team. Chieffalo was selected as a pitcher in Class AAA. Teammate Liz Aniska, a junior shortstop, was a second-team choice. Katie Stevens, a first baseman from Abington Heights, was a second-team selection in Class AAAA. Two other Lackawanna League players, Elk Lake’s Brooke Darling and Gabby Baltzley were also honored. Darling was a pitcher and Baltzley a designated player on the Class AA first team.

LACKAWANNA LEAGUE BOYS’ SOCCER PREVIEW

STRONG CORES RETURN By TOM ROBINSON For Go Lackawanna

Abington Heights, Valley View, Lakeland, Scranton Prep and Mountain View each return a strong nucleus, making the four teams threats to defend boys’ soccer championships they won a year ago. The Comets, Cougars and Chiefs won Divisions 1, 2 and 3 of the Lackawanna League before Scranton Prep and Mountain View emerged from the District 2 playoffs as Class AA and A champions. A look at the upcoming season, which opens Friday, by division: DIVISION 1 Abington Heights holds its usual spot as preseason favorite despite a younger lineup than usual. The Comets lost 10 seniors, including six starters and three of the top four subs, leaving them with a 25-player varsity roster that includes 11 sophomores and a freshman. “The ones we lost were all pretty valuable players, but we have a core group up the middle back that’s experienced,” Comets coach Steve Klingman said. Leading scorer Tommy Steinbach and all-star defenders Ryan Patrick and John Laboda return. Laboda will move up to midfield for his senior season. Patrick is the only junior among the returning starters. Ian Williams is back as an outside midfielder and Ben Kalmanowicz will return to the defense once he recovers from a fractured ankle. The depth of the program means the rest of the starting lineup is likely to come from players who have significant experience as part of the rotation of substitutes. “On the outside, we have

upper classmen with experience, but a lot will hinge on how our sophomore class does,” Klingman said. Seniors Brian Mattern and Mark Garbin are on defense along with sophomore Sante Romalbini. Senior Connor Pacyna is the goalkeeper with sophomore Justin Porpiglia backing him up. Junior Matt Hoyt will be inside and senior Seth Pinches will be outside at midfield. Junior Kevin Elwell is a forward. Scranton Prep could join Delaware Valley, last season’s runner-up, as the top challengers to Abington Heights. The Cavaliers return seven starters including lead-

ing scorer Jacob Pompey, a senior forward. Midfielder Raymond Hassey and defender Mark Monacelli, who scored the goals in a 2-1 district championship game win over Valley View, are also back along with defender/midfielders Michael Burney and Joshua Huggard, forward/midfielder Brian O’Donnell and goalkeeper Colin Moretti. Moretti is a junior and the rest of the returning starters are seniors. North Pocono and Mountain View are the other possible contenders.

DIVISION 3 Chris Vojick was Lakeland’s goalie throughout Joe DePasquale’s first four years building the Chiefs up to a championship level. Vojick has graduated but DePasquale returns most of the rest of the lineup from the division champs. “We’re in the process of trying to figure that out, but other than that we have experience on all three levels,” DePasquale said. Seniors Jim Germain and Adam Wychowanec and junior Bradley Strong return on defense; senior Nate Wnuk, junior Casey Albino and sophomore Ray Lines return at midfield; and junior Matt Morell and sophomore James Blevins return at forward. Albino led the team in scoring while Blevins tied for second in goals a year ago. Forest City, Carbondale and Old Forge all finished above .500 last year and appear strong enough to do so again. Forest City’s David Cavalieri, second in the division in scoring a year ago, is the division’s top returning scorer. Carbondale has to replace Jeff Cosklo, the league’s only other 30-goal scorer besides Matis, but has seven players with starting experience at midfield or forward. Seniors Tom Mauro, Zack Kovaleski, Jeff Frias and Phil Mosolino are back along with junior Michael Farrell and sophomore Brian Boyle. Jason McGovern, a starter up front

DIVISION 2 Valley View returns seven starters from a team that needed a playoff to defeat Holy Cross for the division championship after each finished a half game in front of Western Wayne. “It’s my second year so I know the players better,” Cougars coach Peco Milenkovski said. “I expect a little more than last year. “That’s our goal for the season, to do a little better than last season.” Senior forward Brandon Jackson was the second-leading scorer with nine goals last season. A strong defense returns Brandon Hazelton, John Joyce, Riley Curry, Jeff Tarby in front of veteran goalie David Lesnefsky. John Harrison is back at midfield. Holy Cross and Western Wayne are expected to again be in pursuit. “We’re young, probably one of the youngest teams we’ve had to start,” Holy Cross coach Joel Dodgson said, “but I think we’re pretty solid. We’re looking for a successful season.” Senior Aaron Matis, who led the league in scoring with 33 goals and nine assists last season, is back. He will be joined up front by two players who started last season as freshmen. Nico Amity was third on the team in scoring. Kyle Beekman moves up from center back to forward. Junior Michael Kanavy and sophomores Eric Nelson and Mike Cicco, three of the top subs, are expected to

Heckman and Bobby Cippolina and sophomore midfielder James Aversa also return. Cippolina spent some time at midfield last season and may move there permanently. “We have some experience, but we’re not real deep,” Blue Devils coach John Argonish said. Blue Ridge, Dunmore, Mid Valley and Riverside complete the division. Riverside, which picked up two ties in the program’s first year, will be looking for its first league win as it begins its second season.

the division’s top returning scorer. Honesdale handed Abington Heights one of its two losses last season. Scranton, which was winless in 2010, and Wallenpaupack round out the division.

on Forest City’s championship team as a sophomore in 2009, also joins the lineup. Senior center midfielder J Argonish, the team’s leading scorer, leads a long list of returnees at Old Forge. Ian Nemetz will move outside at midfield. Argonish, Nemetz and inside defender Adam Barsigian are senior starters who have been part of the program since it debuted when they were freshmen. Junior forward Matt Mancuso, junior defenders Tyler Cavaleri, Jared

take over the midfield. Seniors Brian Cogliser, Gary Cristiano and Anthony Mordente are also looking at likely promotions to the starting lineup on defense along with sophomore Alex Demian. Junior Casey Gaughan, a field player on the junior varsity last season, takes over in goal. Elk Lake, Montrose, St. Gregory’s and West Scranton complete the division.
