Bull’s Head neighbors get tough civics lesson A friend of the paper called this week with news that the members of a neighborhood association in the Bull’s Head section of North Scranton were disgusted over the recent actions of Scranton City Council. “I heard there was much anger over the cancellation of the grant funded project,” she wrote to me Wednesday morning. The “grant funded project” in question is the planned Perry Avenue park. A 2-2 vote by council on Sept. 6 defeated the possibility of the approval and execution of a $50,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Eco-
BEHIND THE BYLINES CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES nomic Development to get the park rolling. Complaining now won’t change that. The plan for a “N. Scranton Park” worth $120,000 was included in the mayor’s proposed budget in Nov. 2010 and eliminated by council in its amended budget passed in December. City Council beat writer Rich Howells doesn’t recall a single resident of that area of ever coming forward in the 10 months that followed to express their support or distaste for a new park in North Scranton. Councilman Bob McGoff, however, has frequently re-
layed details of in-person conversations he had with residents who were behind the plan. Now those comments rightly fall on deaf ears. Very often, municipal government reporting beats can be thankless, but they give newspapers and their readers a sense of what government is up to and what their neighbors are concerned about. Take residents of the city’s Minooka and Hyde Park sections, for example. In June, Minookans packed council chambers for a public hearing to express their support of a proposed rezoning classification to prevent construction of a low-income housing development. Council approved the legislation and overrode the
mayor’s veto against it. Currently, residents whose properties surround the now closed Lincoln-Jackson Elementary School are rallying against a planned park on that site. Residents of any section of the city must remember that their voice is an important part of the discussion in any legislation. Yes, sometimes those frustrations or congratulations over proposed plans can go unheard, but apathy will only compound the problem. While I’m sure Bull’s Head residents did support plans for a park in their neighborhood even though I dismissed other news stories supporting the plan as fostering a political agenda, the empty lot is now their problem.

They could have just said, ‘No, we don’t want to do that.’ Then we wouldn’t have a documentary…I didn’t really have much experience with students with autism, so I didn’t really know what to expect,” Monelli explained. “Once I started talking to them oneon-one, I realized how to approach the
video. I wanted it to sort of be from my point of view. Trish had a line in the video about people having a lot of misconceptions or ideas about how they think of students with autism. I wanted the video to be for people who feel that way and don’t really know much to see how much they can achieve and just how awesome they are.” The film details the program and those involved, but the 25-minute documentary also allows viewers inside the lives of its participants.

hen Al Monelli was approached by Marywood University to create a documentary about their groundbreaking new program for autistic students, he had neither made a documentary nor worked with children with autism before. Judging by the enthusiastic reaction of the crowd at a campus screening on Monday, it became clear that they had chosen the right filmmaker for the job. The Students On-Campus Achieving Results program was founded by the uni-
versityandtheNortheasternEducational Intermediate Unit in 2008, allowing high school students with autism spectrum disorder a unique opportunity to live more independently and find gainful employment suited to their interests. Students are taught life and communication skills by faculty along with psychology and education students as they’re also given first-hand work experience by Marywood staff. SOAR Project Director Dr. Patricia Arter approached Monelli, who works in Marywood’s Video Broadcasting Department, earlier this year about making a promotional video for the program.

Board taking early look at 2012-13 finances By DON McGLYNN dmcglynn@theabingtonjournal.com
CLARKS SUMMIT - Viewing the task of putting together the 2012-13 budget as a difficult one, the Abington Heights School Board has decided to begin discussion early this year. The district could be facing an estimated structural deficit of $1.5 million in 2012-13. As a result, budget discussion began during the board’s work session on Sept. 7 and continued during its meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 21. “The thought is coming together and talking about plans now - September, October, November and December. That’s much easier than doing it in April, May, and June when we’re banging against some harsh deadlines,” said Superintendent Michael Mahon. The board hopes to have a preliminary budget prepared by January, although a vote on the final budget will not be until June. Mahon said the district will be faced with two decisions on January 5, 2012 – whether or not they wish to exceed the 1.4 percent base index for tax increases set by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, and if they will send a budget to referendum. “I think we would all agree that the answer to that is no, we’re not excited about going for a referendum at this point,” said Mahon. The other decision the board will have to make is whether or not the district should apply for exceptions, which would allow them the option of raising taxes without going to referendum. The district will need a preliminary budget ready for the public to view by January 5 if they want the option of doing either of these
things. Budget discussions will continue during the board’s meetings and work sessions. In other business, the board welcomed its student representative for the year, Alexa Abdalla. Abdalla, a senior at Abington Heights High School, will be reporting to the board each month during its monthly meeting. On Wednesday, she informed the board that the high school will be celebrating its homecoming on Saturday, Oct. 22. That same weekend, the National Honor Society will be holding a Back-to-School Carnival at the high school’s track on Friday, Oct. 21, from 5 to 9 p.m. The carnival will feature food provided by Curbside Grill, games run by the different school clubs, entertainment including jugglers and live music, a bouncy house, and a dunk tank. The South Abington Police Department will provide security. Admission to the carnival is free of charge, and tickets and food will be sold at the event. Mahon applauded the effort that went into planning the event. “I do want to acknowledge the tremendous leadership we’re getting from our student leaders at the high school, and across the district, but particularly the high school,” said Mahon. “The carnival was a studentgenerated idea… We’re very much looking forward to that, but whether it rains or pours, regardless of the outcome, we’re very grateful of the effort that has gone into it.” The Abington Heights School Board will meet again for its monthly work session on Wednesday, Oct. 5.
Prized pumpkins Roba’s weigh-off contest draws 25 competitors
WINNING WEIGHTS
By SUSAN REBENSKY For The Abington Journal
NORTH ABINGTON TOWNSHIP — With a crisp feeling of fall in the air, Roba Family Farms, Dexter Road, North Abington Township, held its very first Great Pumpkin Weigh-Off Contest featuring 25 participants seeking the title of the biggest pumpkin on Sept. 17. Co-Owner Sue Roba was thrilled with the first event. “We expected a few pumpkins, but we never expected 25 participants and pumpkins as big as we got today. It is amazing,” she said. Roba said that in order to host the event, she and her husband John had to submit an application to the Great Pumpkin Commonwealth Growers. “When we began organizing the event and word got out, Bartron’s Tractor and Supply of Tunkhannock came right on board and they contributed the prize money and also the tractors that we used for the day.

According to the PennEnvironment study, smog levels exceeded the upgraded standards on five additional days in 2010. Meisenheimer said air quality in Pennsylvania has improved gradually over the years, but the impact of natural gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale could worsen air quality in the state. “Gas and oil drilling across the country and our state also contribute to smog formation,” Meisenheimer said. “We know that oil and gas drilling causes air pollution, so the last thing we want to do is roll back air pollution standards and let it get worse.” “We are now in the early stages of the Marcellus Shale era,” state Rep. Ken Smith, DDunmore, said Wednesday, “and I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, but we have these companies here extracting our resources, and we in return must make sure we have the proper oversight to make sure they do not compromise our environment.”

A new air quality study by a Pennsylvania environmental advocacy group found the commonwealth has the sixth-most smog-ridden air in the nation. The air quality in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre/Hazleton region is not as bad as other metropolitan areas around the state and the country, but the advent of natural gas drilling could contribute to a worsening of air quality in the long run, a spokeswoman for the environmental group said Wednesday. The report, titled “Danger in the Air: Unhealthy Days in 2010 and 2011,” was published by Philadelphia-based citizens environmental advocacy organization PennEnvironment Research and Policy Center. It ranked American metropolitan areas by the number of days when the air quality exceeded the national health standard for smog pollution set by the federal Environmental Protection Agency in 2008.

gion has already had three “smog days” this year. “Actually, the environment in Scranton isn’t as bad as many cities in Pennsylvania,” PennEnvironment spokeswoman Meredith Meisenheimer said Wednesday. “But we need to make sure that every day is a safe day to breathe.” Meisenheimer said smog can exacerbate respiratory problems in children and adults, and contribute to adverse health in at-risk populations. Therefore her group believes pollution levels should never exceed government health standards. Also, her group is pressing for the EPA to strengthen clean air protections in the federal Clean Air Act, which would cut smog emissions by 25 percent. Earlier in September, President Barack Obama rejected new standards proposed by the EPA that would have reduced emissions of smog-causing chemicals, explaining it could burden industry under trying economic conditions.

SCRANTON CITY COUNCIL
Parking meter sale prompts questions By RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com
SCRANTON – City Council received three pieces of legislation from the administration on Tuesday that hope to quell the city’s $8.2 million operating budget deficit, but council may not approve of ordinances that will sell the city’s parking meters to the Scranton Parking Authority. Council had received the legislation from Business Administrator Ryan McGowan just hours before their meeting, so they had yet to review the documents fully, but members spoke out against the idea of selling the city’s1,200 meters for $6 million. A third piece of legislation would petition the Court of Common Pleas of Lackawanna County to allow $4 million of additional borrowing on behalf of the city to fill the budget gap. Council President Janet Evans took particular issue with using the city’s taxing powers to guarantee the authority’s borrowing, which would pay for the meters as well as its current debt. “They have already amassed significant debt, which is guaranteed by the taxing authority of the city of Scranton. So I think it’s important for everyone to see the whole picture here. It’s not merely $6 million for the purchase of parking meters that’s at stake. It’s $14 million in total, and it’s putting the taxpayers on the hook for a municipal authority that’s been unable to make its bond payments ev-
ery year,” Evans explained. Council Vice President Pat Rogan said that this was “robbing Peter to pay Paul” and suggested privatizing the Scranton Sewer Authority as a better option. “This deal is like putting a Band-Aid on a heart attack. It doesn’t fix the problem at all,” Rogan said. “These meters bring in around $2 million a year, so it’s easy to do the math. In just three years, you’re on the losing end of this bargain. The very next year, you have a $2 million deficit created by the sale.” Councilman Frank Joyce agreed and said that he will be researching parking meter sales that other cities have engaged in before making a decision. “Perhaps something with parking meters could be entertained if there are stipulations, such as if we receive part of the funding that the parking meters collect in regard to the sale. For instance, the city of Chicago, if any of the collections exceed a certain percent, the city receives a 50/50 split of such excess collections,” Joyce said. “So I think there are a lot of things to be looked at. However, just selling the parking meters outright is not the best idea and it’s not a very good return on investment.” Evans requested more information and key documents from the administration by Thursday or the legislation would be withheld until the following meeting.

Residents oppose Lincoln-Jackson park plan By RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com
SCRANTON – Residents of a West Scranton neighborhood made their overwhelming opposition to a proposed public park on the site of the former LincolnJackson Elementary School clear to City Council on Tuesday, citing issues with criminal activity and neglect that already exist in surrounding parks. Council held a hearing before theirregularlyscheduledmeeting on the city’s consolidated submission for community planning and development programs to be fundedunderthefederalCommunity Development Block Grant, Home Investment Partnership, and Emergency Shelter Grant programs in 2012. One of those submissions, made on behalf of the Department of Public Works, is for $350,000 to tear down the existing facility and construct a park that would include playground equipment, a pavilion, and green space. Michael Passero, a lifelong West Scranton resident who lives directly across the street from the school, spoke out against the plan at council’s Sept. 13 meeting. “I’ve picked up needles off the porch of the school over the years. That’s with the school actually functioning before it closed last June. It’s gotten worse over the past summer,” Passero told council. He said he had seen an increase in crime in his neighborhood over the year, including drug deals, public urination, vandalism, public sex acts, and “roving gangs” who he witnessed on one occasion run across the roofs of an en-

Forced to call the police in the middle of the night, he claimed it took 26 minutes for officers to respond to an incident, and by then, the vandals had moved onto another area, such as the Walgreens drug store or the Sunoco gas station on Main Avenue. When he threatenedtohandlethematteron his own, however, he said they responded within three minutes. “We just think that it’s unfair,” he continued. “We sleep like vampires in that neighborhood.” Returning on Tuesday, Sept. 20, Passero presented pictures to councilofcigarettebutts,garbage, graffiti, overgrown weeds, poison sumac,unsafesidewalks,exposed wiring, and trampled fences in city parks located just blocks away, such as Fellows Park, Allen Park, and the currently closed Novembrino pool. These problems haveexistedforyears,hesaid,and with a recent stabbing in Fellows Park and alleged vandalism at the JacksonStreetSkatePark,hefeels that matters will only get worse with the addition of another park. “This is the DPW that’s supposed to take care of another

There’s not one signature for, which should say something.” Jamie Sofka, another neighborhood resident, was “appalled” by the condition of Fellows Park after a recent visit, where she said she found trash and drug paraphernalia. Criminal activity, she added, has been caused by gangs like the G-Squad, also known as the 570 Gang, who she claimed was responsible for the recent beating of a Domino’s pizza delivery man on Fellows Street. “The park could further encouragecriminalactivityinthearea.Mr. Mayor, I ask, ‘Would you like a haven for criminal activity in your backyard?’ I think not,” Sofka said.

Police: Man attacked his child’s mother, her father By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES chughes@golackawanna.com
SCRANTON — A city man allegedly attacked the mother of his child after she refused to eat dinner from McDonald’s and later attacked her father when he attempted to get her out of the home. Jeffrey Fenescey, 30, of Lan-
dis Street, Scranton, is charged with two counts each of simple assault and harassment, and one count of disorderly conduct for the alleged Sept. 18 incident. According to an affidavit: A drunken Fenescey returned to the double block home that he shares with his child’s moth-
er, Tracy Barth. When she refused to eat the fast food meal, he allegedly began yelling and throwing french fries at her. He later picked up a vacuum cleaner and “threw it through the couple’s big screen television.” Barth’s parents who live on the other side of the home, heard the commotion and
called Ms. Barth to leave, but Fenescey allegedly grabbed her and was “tossing her about the room.” Dale Barth, Ms. Barth’s father, confronted Fenescey and was punched in the face. When police responded, they found Fenescey hiding in his underwear behind storage box-
es in the attic. He told police that he was tired and was trying to get some sleep. Scranton Ptlm. Christian Gowarty was the arresting officer. Fenescey was arraigned Sept. 18 and posted bail. All charges are pending, and a preliminary hearing is set for Sept. 28.

SCRANTON – Police said that a previously convicted felon had a handgun tucked into his belt that was discovered during a fight inside the Colosseum Nightclub and Lounge, 120 Adams Ave., Scranton, early Sunday morning. Lawrence R. Myers, 23, of Prospect Avenue, Scranton, is charged with one count of prohibited possession of a firearm for the Sept. 18 incident. According to the affidavit: Club security employee Gene McDonald observed the handgun after breaking up a fight inside the club. He pulled the gun from Myers’ belt, and the 23year-old ran out of the club. McDonald presented the 9mm Smith & Wesson handgun to his boss, Nick Chiumento, who unloaded the magazine and cleared a live round out of the firing chamber. A criminal history check on Myers showed a 2005 arrest by Pennsylvania State Police and guilty plea for possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance. As a convicted felon, he is prohibited from possessing a firearm. Scranton Ptlm. Robert Olecki was the arresting officer. Myers was arraigned Sept. 18 and held for $10,000 bail. All charges are pending, and a preliminary hearing is set for Sept. 28.
David Aston II, 22, of Oak Avenue, Carbondale, faces two counts of child pornography after an investigation that began in February. According to a criminal complaint: Authorities were notified about possible child pornography on a laptop computer hard
drive that was found under the user “David.” The computer was owned by Shannon Aston, and police confirmed that Mr. Aston resided at the same address through a Pennsylvania Department of Motor Vehicles search. When police went to the Carbondale home on Feb. 11, they
found that the laptop and a second desktop computer contained multiple image and movie files of suspected child pornography. Mr. Aston said the files were downloaded from the file sharing service Limewire and that he used both computers to download the images.

SIMPSON — A Blakely man tasked with disposing of defective or test flight helmets for the Gentex plant in Simpson took up to 16 helmets designed for the Japanese Ministry of Defense. The helmets eventually made their way onto the online auction site, eBay, according to a criminal complaint. Robert A. Morcom, 55, of Falls Lane, Blakely, is charged with theft and receiving stolen property for the alleged thefts that he said took place for approximately seven months. According to a criminal complaint: Local investigators assigned to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Scranton Resident Agency were notified of possibly stolen flight equipment posted for sale on eBay. Gentex officials told investigators that four helmets in each size were assembled locally for testing and evaluation, including wind blasting. When they
positively identified the item in an online auction as one of their own products, a third party placed a winning bid for the item and arranged to meet the seller at the Friendly’s Restaurant in Dunmore. After David Topar exchanged $778 for the helmet on Aug. 12, investigators approached him to ask where he had received the helmets. Topar told investigators that his friend’s father-inlaw, Morcom, was a Gentex employee and that his friend sold him 16 helmets for $100 each. Morcom told investigators he was responsible for compacting and baling the helmets and shredding that material. Because the helmets were going to be disposed of, he allegedly said he did not believe that taking them was a big deal. He told investigators that he sold the helmets to his son-inlaw for $25 each. Morcom was arraigned Sept. 19 and posted bail. All charges are pending, and a preliminary hearing is set for Sept. 26.

The two stayed at Young’s apartment Monday night, and she convinced Hayes to contact police on Tuesday. Hayes, wearing a jacket that police believe was stained with blood, spoke with social worker Kim Cadugan at the Community Intervention Center at about 2 p.m. Tuesday afternoon and asked her to contact police and sent them to the apartment at 207 Oak St. When Cadugan asked why police were needed at her apartment, she allegedly replied, “Theywillseewhentheygetthere. “I really (expletive) up and I’m going to jail for the rest of my life,” Hayescontinued.“Ididn’tmeanit.”

ARCHBALD — A borough resident faces charges for allegedly stealing electricity after his service was terminated and removing a PPL Electric Utilities meter from a neighboring home that was vacant to restore power to the house himself. Joseph Simon, 34, of Hill Street, Archbald, is charged with theft of services and criminal mischief for the combined incidents that began in August.

voted in favor, saying the House bill included $1 billion in relief funds that would go out to communities before the Sept. 30 end of the 2011 federal fiscal year. The disaster relief funding was part of an overarching shortterm spending measure that keeps the government running through Nov. 18, past the Oct. 1 start of the 2012 fiscal year, while Congress tries to finish work on a number of still-pending 2012 spending bills. Many Democrats were upset because the legislation offsets some of the additional emergency funding for communities in Northeast Pennsylvania and elsewhere struck by recent storms and flooding with spending cuts of $1.5 billion to a federal loan program that aids car companies making fuel-efficient vehicles. A number of conservative Republicans thought the legislation still was overly costly.

SCRANTON — Johnson College officials unveiled plans Tuesday and broke ground on a project that President and CEO Dr. Ann L. Pipinski said makes a strong statement about the institution as it begins its second century of technical education in the region. An ambitious capital campaign has raised $3.2 million of a $4.5 million goal, according to Louis A. Costanzo, chairman of the board of directors and cochair of the capital campaign steering committee, to support a new Health Science Technology Center that will house a new physical therapy assistant program. The building is due to be completed by the fall of 2012. “This is a proud day for us all to share,” Pipinski said. “As we move forward into our next century by providing technologydriven education, the addition of the Health Sciences Technology Center and physical therapist assistant program will be shining examples of who we are: an institution that provides students with an education that they experience. “Today’s groundbreaking not only signifies a new physical space and program but the future of Johnson College.” The new 12,600 square foot building includes two physical therapy assistant labs, one gen-
eral science lab, and a 32-seat classroom that will inevitably be used by every student, according to a fact sheet provided by Johnson College. It will be adjacent to the existing Vet Science Building and is the largest building project to date on the campus along North Main Avenue in Scranton. Pipinski said that “when industry calls, Johnson College answers,” and that remains evident in the physical therapy assistant program that will welcome its first students in the fall of 2013. “Because of the aging community here in northeastern Pennsylvania, there’s going to be a large need for physical therapy assistants,” Pipinski said, adding that the college is part of the region’s “brain gain” as many students stay in the region after completing their studies. The capital campaign also received support from the state government. Costanzo said Johnson received a $1.5 million Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program grant from the Office of the Budget. Pipinski said the college remains dedicated to serving the region and its students. “Being here for 100 years and the next 100 years is really huge. I think we’re really making progress in northeastern Pennsylvania, and I think our students are highly respected in the community.”

I will be considering the President’s proposal in light of those two goals.” But GOP U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey of Zionsville, a member of the so-called congressional supercommittee charged with coming up with at least $1.2 trillion in budget savings this year by this summer’s debt ceiling deal, slammed Obama’s proposal as “political posturing.” Toomey said in a statement that he welcomes Obama “putting some ideas on the table and hisoverallgoalofcuttingthefederal deficit.” But, Toomey added, Obama’s deficit reduction strategy “some-
timesseemsmoredefinedbypolitical posturing, such as recycling tax hikes that even lawmakers in his own party have publicly opposed.Withtheselectcommittee’s deadline looming, we do not have time to waste on political games and pushing big tax increases that willonlymakeoureconomyweaker for all Americans.” U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton, too, charged that Obama was playing politics. “There are some things I like and some things I don’t like about what the president said,” Barletta said via email. “I like lowering the corporate tax rate and eliminating the loopholes, but I don’t like raising taxes on the job creators. … To me, this sounded more like a campaign speech rather than a policy change, and what we need is a policy change since it’s clear that the president’s policies aren’t working,” Barletta said.

SCRANTON – Detective Michael Schultz looked over the lot in the 1600 block of South Irving Avenue on Sunday morning. In July 2008, he was called to a home there to investigatea triple homicide, and the home burned down shortly after the fatal attacks. This trip to the lot, however, was very different. The detective and about a dozen current and former members of the Scranton Police Department were cutting three-foot high grass and unruly trees as the first group to participate in the Adopt-A-Lot program through the all-volunteer Southside Cleanup Crew run by Pat Hinton. “To think that I was here three years ago at 8 a.m. for a homicide investigation and then to come back and participate in something like this, it’s a good feeling,” Schultz said. The idea to participate in the cleanup program was brought to Chief Dan Duffy by Ptlm. Jason Gula. “They came out donating their own time,” Gula said of his fellow officers. “The officers that are here are all from South Scranton, so we’re not just cleaning it up for the neighbors. We’re cleaning up our own community.” Hinton founded the cleanup crew in 2008 and introduced the adoption program earlier this year as a means toward

perpetual care. His efforts will be bolstered by more than 20 businesses who have adopted more than 30 lots, he said. Among the participating businesses is Gerrity’s Supermarket, which has adopted 10 lots due for cleanup this spring. “Blight is an enormous problem for communities. When I heard about that program, I really was excited,” Gerrity’s CoOwner Joe Fasula, a West Scranton resident, said Thursday of the reasons behind their involvement. “Something like this is so unique. It’s a very outof-the-box concept that you don’t even realized how important it can be to a community.” Businesses and civic groups adopting lots will receive signs provided by Jaworski Sign Co., 913 S. Main Ave., Scranton, to show their dedication to the community.
Like many, it breaks my heart to see all the flood victims in our area, and I keep seeing fundraisers and donation requests. However, I am not sure how I can best help our neighbors. With our terrible economy, as we watch every penny spent, what would be a fair donation? Using coupons, I know that I can buy a ton of items for $5 and make that my donation. So, that is what I have decided to do. It’s sort of extreme couponing for donations.

Celebrate banned books in September, October Banned Books Week is celebrated the last week of September every year at libraries and book stores around the country. It is a week to reflect on the importance of the First Amendment and free access to information and ideas. Some of America’s best pieces of literature have been challenged, restricted or banned in schools and libraries. Books by authors like Judy Blume, Maya Angelou and Mark Twain have been called into question for offensive language, violence or being unsuitable for a specific age group. According to the American Library Association, 348 books were challenged in 2010 alone and many more go unreported. “Banned Books Week is one of my favorite parts of being a librarian. It gets people thinking about books as more than just paper and ink and the power their ideas hold” says librarian Elizabeth Davis. The Children’s Library has a display every year to celebrate Banned Books Week. This year, artist in residence Liz Kluesner and her drawing group will be creating a bonfire sculpture that will be part of the display. The display will run from Sept. 24 to Oct. 22 in the lobby of the Chil-
500 VINE
dren’s Library. Some of the most often banned books include past Scranton Reads selections such as “To Kill a Mockingbird,” “The Great Gatsby,” “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” and “The Grapes of Wrath.” For its 10th anniversary, Scranton Reads has selected to read Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451.” Bradbury’s work tells the story of a future world where independent thought and, specifically, books are illegal. The book was originally a short story titled “The Fireman” that Bradbury wrote on a pay-bythe-hour typewriter in 1951. It was expanded into its novel length in1953 and re-titled “Fahrenheit 451” for the temperature at which paper burns. This year’s selection comes at an interesting time for reading and books. The rise in popularity of eReaders and eBooks, closing of area bookstores and poor funding for libraries all bring to question where the future of the book is headed. Sheli McHugh, co-chair of the Scranton Reads Committee, said, “We need to protect the
written word and I think by sharing ‘Fahrenheit’ with the community, we will be able to discuss why that’s important and what it means for the future of reading.” Throughout October, Scranton Reads will be hosting book discussions, lectures on banned books and dystopian literature, an essay contest and even a book cover redesign contest. They will wrap up the month long celebration with a final program called “The Future of Reading: A Conversation,” where a panel of readers will engage audience members in a conversation about the state of reading in our society. The event is free to the public and will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 25, at 7 p.m. at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 232 Wyoming Ave., Scranton.

AJ Detrick and the sales staff at Ken Pollock Suzuki in Pittston laud the sleek design and All-Wheel Drive option of the Kizashi, winner of the JD Powers Midsize Car Appeal Award.
In a year in which the appeal of new and redesigned models greatly outdistanced their static and merely freshened counterparts, the Suzuki Kizashi took first place in the JD Powers Midsize Car Appeal category. Headquartered in Westlake Village, Calif., JD Powers and Associates is a global marketing services company providing customer satisfaction and insight information. Today’s consumer is very educated and knowledgeable regarding what they want in a car. Buyers are looking for a vehicle that has state of the art performance, execution, and layout qualities. These, among many other attributes, are what led JD Powers and Associates to coin the Kizashi the winner of the Midsize Car Appeal category. The results of the JD Powers award came as exciting news for the staff of a local Suzuki dealership. “We realize the outstanding opportunity we have in the Kizashi, and we are thrilled to offer a huge selection of Kizashis for our customers,” AJ Detrick, sales manager of Ken Pollock Suzuki, said. The Appeal study examines how gratifying a new vehicle is to own and drive, based on owner evaluations of more than 80 vehicle attributes. Responses were gathered between February and May 2011 from more than 73,000 purchasers and lessees. Buyers were surveyed after 90 days of ownership. “The Kizashi offers everything

someone would want in a midsize car. The overall design is very appealing and the available All-Wheel Drive system is a huge plus for our customers here in NEPA,” Detrick said. The JD Powers Appeal Study holds the interior appointments of the Kizashi in high regard. The pleasing dashboard, spacious passenger room, and luxurious optional leather seating are all part of the midsize car’s appeal. “With eight standard air bags and meeting 2014 safety standards, the Kizashi is nothing short of excellence. The Kizashi offers the most up to date technologies with available navigation, Bluetooth, rear park assistance, and rear camera,” Detrick said. The Kizashi is available in a variety of colors and option packages through Ken Pollock Suzuki in Pittston.
“How in the world can a proposed city park at Lincoln-Jackson Elementary School reduce the deficit? This is not a solution to the city’s deficit. Deficits happen because of mismanagement. It’s the people’s money, and it has been mismanaged for years,” Merkel said. “No one in the neighborhood wants another city park. We have huge problems in our neighborhood as it is. Our once pristine neighborhood has become a melting pot of hoodlums, gangs, and thieves. My grandson was robbed at gunpoint across the street from Lincoln-Jackson.” Despite this, Karin Foster, president of the West Scranton-Hyde Park Neighborhood Watch, said that she has seen improvement through regular patrols of the neighborhood. The group plans to meetwithneighborstodiscussthe proposed park and will schedule a formal meeting with city officials on the matter. Foster also suggested that the city implement a tax credit to those citizens willing to volunteer their time taking care of neglected parks. Passero said that residents he spoke to would rather see the vacant building returned to the tax rolls and offered to a developer. “There are a lot of options to look at – a park isn’t the only option,” he said. Councilman Bob McGoff
agreed. While he was in favor of another proposed park on Perry Avenue that was shot down by council weeks ago, he felt that thiswasan“entirelydifferent”situation as he found that project to be generally favored by residents of that neighborhood. “The funding for (the LincolnJackson) park is not project specific.

Epic fail for Netflix, Facebook INFINITE IMPROBABILITY
NEWS
RICH HOWELLS

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg shows Timeline during the f/8 conference in San Francisco, on Thursday, Sept. 22. Changes to the site on Wednesday drew criticism from many users.
ons of people you may know that you’ve been ignoring for the past six months for good reason? There’s nothing like waking up to three nasty posts on your wall from three different ex-girlfriends and a comment that reads, “Please see me in my office,” by your boss on your latest “I hate my job” status update. • Hide all privacy settings in the booby-trapped temple from the opening from “Raiders of the Lost Ark” this time, as users seem to continue to discover those pesky options despite efforts to completely blur the line between private and public. Unchecking any boxes will also directly unleash whatever was trapped in the Ark of the Covenant. In Netflix’s case, paying customers have every right to be angry, especially because their changes come right on the heels of their stock-dropping decision to increase their rates by as much as 60 percent. Facebook is free, so there is less room for criticism, but if I’m not the customer, then
I’m obviously the product. I have sinking feeling that livestock are kept in higher regard. C’mon, Zuckerberg – I thought we were “friends.” The old adage, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” comes to mind, but the real issue here is that companies are deciding what people want instead of asking. Netflix should take note that Blockbuster displayed the same arrogance when they scoffed at mail-order DVDs and pushed rate changes in the guise of “ending” late fees, and Facebook should recall that little site called Myspace that everybody thought was so great just a few short years ago. They, too, didn’t listen to users’ basic suggestions. People have trouble comprehending change, especially when something has become an integrated part of their everyday lives. People will inevitably try out the next big thing, but if you stay on top of current technology, like Google, instead of trying to reinvent the wheel that has been
rolling smoothly, like Netflix, you’re going to find yourself a relic of internet history. Ask AOL what it feels like to be footnote. But maybe they’re just taking a cue from George Lucas. His “Star Wars” Bluray box set just broke records by selling 515,000 copies in the states in only a week and raking in over $84 million globally despite the general outcry from fans over his constant tinkering. Not since those old VHS copies have fans been able to pick up the original trilogy unaltered, instead having to settle for his pointless changes and bizarre edits to every version released since. And settle they did, en masse. Or perhaps they were just letting the Wookiee win. I definitely recall my first time watching “Star Wars” more vividly than I do my first Facebook post, after all. I guess we’ll just have to see if “The Social Network” has the same impact in 30 years. My money’s on Chewie.

Just days later, I woke up to find that someone had hacked my Facebook. Then I realized that programmers had actually screwed everything up on purpose, switching the layout around and adding bells and whistles that feel more like blaring air horns. There’s a real-time updated ticker in the corner, as if I were checking on stocks instead of friends, and a “top stories” section that clearly has no idea what my priorities are. What exactly did any of this improve, and again, who requested that such changes be made? It’s no coincidence that Google+, its social networking competitor, went public the same day. Instead of keeping everyone busy on their site, Facebook seemed to anger everyone enough to test drive something actually new. It was subsequently announced on Thursday that Facebook would be rolling out more features, including Timeline which lets you tell your friends, and more importantly Facebook’s advertisers, every single detail of your life. As if it wasn’t creepy enough that they remember what you were posting this time last year. I also have a few suggestions for future updates of Facebook: • Instead of pokes, let’s upgrade to punches. After you have a few hundred “friends,” the urge for the latter is much greater. • Rather than wait for users to upload embarrassing pictures of themselves, Facebook should just scan your computer every day and post whatever it finds. • While they’re at it, why don’t they just automatically “friend” all those suggesti-
ARTS
Internetbased companies tend to come and go every few years, often because they can’t adapt to change in these fickle, fastpaced times. In a few cases, however, it’s because they refuse to stay the same, as this past week has proven. Netflix serves as my first example, and it pains me to write about because I love their service. I might still like it, but that would require me to fully understand it first. I used to be able to order DVDs by mail or watch movies instantly stream to my TV, but in the move that absolutely no one demanded, they have renamed the by-mail service Quikster and completely separated it from the streaming service. Does this mean I have to pay for two separate services now? What happens to my current plan that includes both? Who came up with that awful name? In the time it would take them to answer these questions, I’ve already Googled my other rental options. While they’re at it, I have some other suggestions to improve Netflix: • Place spoilers in all the movie descriptions so I’m completely prepared for every plot twist and suspenseful moment. • Make the streaming movies jump and skip around halfway through the movie so it feels like I’m watching a scratched disc – just like in the old days! • For a whole month, only allow subscribers to rent movies starring Kevin James. For the following month? Rob Schneider. • Only carry season two, season four, and one disc from season five of every TV show available. • Add late fees, even on streaming movies, just for fun, but call them “extended viewing fees.” That seemed to work out for Blockbuster really well.

Cartoonist and animator Nina Paley has never shied away from irreverence or friendly debate, and it appears that she will bring both to the Pages & Places Book Festival in downtown Scranton on Saturday, Oct. 1 when she speaks at a panel entitled “Free as in Freedom” at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 232 Wyoming Ave., at 2 p.m. Currently living in Manhattan, the 43-year-old started drawing comic strips at the age of 15, first seeing success in her 20s with “Nina’s Adventures,” a semi-autobiographical weekly strip. “I grew up reading newspapers. I grew up on the University of Illinois campus, so there was the local paper and also the student paper, so there were always student comics in there, which were very good,” Paley recalled. “If you’re an artist, I really hope you’re not in it for the money. But it’s great because I had a voice. That was what I really wanted then and I think it’s what I really want now, more than money.” Another strip she created called “Fluff” was even more
successful, but she was forced to make creative compromises to be syndicated, which eventually burned her out and led to her transition into animation. Around the age of 13, she had experimented with her neighbor’s Super 8 camera, a format she returned to as an adult. The showing of her first piece of animation, “Luv Is …” was accompanied by live music by Nik Phelps and the Sprocket Ensemble at an art gallery, instantly giving her an audience and a taste of what was to come. “I just got hooked. I love seeing my drawings move,” she said. A complicated divorce with her then-husband led her to release a full-length animated feature in 2008, “Sita Sings the Blues,” which tells the story of the ancient Sanskrit epic “Ramayana” complimented by the Jazz-style vocals of Annette Hanshaw. It became her biggest success to date, screening in over 200 film festivals and winning over 30 international awards. Looking back, Paley said she misses being so driven despite it being a “difficult and strange experience,” but it also led to another aspect of her life as she joined the free culture move-
ment. The movement argues that copyright laws hinder creativity and restrict artists from releasing their work to wider audiences. “I do not accept or approve of this censorship, and I think a lot of artists are a lot quieter about this because they’re beholden to these big media conglomerates, so I’m very fortunate,” she explained. She has since returned to comics, starting a free webcomic called “Mimi & Eunice” in 2010, continuing her tradition of calling the world out as she sees it. The first phase of her next animated project, “Seder Masochism,” a movie that will tell the story of Exodus through recordings from real Passover Seders, is almost fully funded through the crowd funding website Kickstarter. For the moment, she’s most looking forward to sharing her thoughts on copyright and corporate ownership with fellow Pages & Places panelist Richard Stallman, free software developer and author of “Free as in Freedom.” “I’m very much inspired by what Richard has done with free software, but he does not apply the same principles to culture, which is odd,” she said.

SCRANTON – Author Kevin Adcroft is eager to see his first book, “101 Ways to Survive a Broken Heart,” reach a large audience next weekend when he takes part in the Pages and Places Book Festival on Saturday, Oct. 1. “It’s a great way to launch the book,” Adcroft, 49, of Scranton, said. “Before it seemed like a fantasy, and now, it’s a reality.” Attending the festival alongside the first time author will be his two sons - Benjamin, 23, and Jordan, 22 - and brother Dooley, all of Scranton. Creating the book and accompanying merchandise associated with the book’s character, Kman, was a family affair. Benjamin did all of the illustrations for the book, Jordan worked on the music and animations that follow certain scenarios described in the book, and Dooley “made sense” of his brother’s writing. Kevin Adcroft is dyslexic, and it became Dooley’s mission to maintain his brother’s voice. “They’ve been in my life so much, there’s no other way I can think to do this,” Kevin said. The book is, in essence, a guide describing different methods to get over a broken heart. The partself-help, part-biographic book, documents things Kevin has actually done to “survive.” Each illustration is purposefully done in a primitive way, complimenting the author’s style, according to Benjamin.. “Too often, for guys especially, having their hearts broken can be fatal, especially if you’re a young man and it’s your first love,” Dooley Adcroft said. “There’s a lot of helpful advice, but it’s very funny because its Kevin’s own tale and he’s an interesting guy, he’s a character.” Kevin is a self-proclaimed expert in the field of heartbreak. He had his own heart broken numerous times, even getting dumped two years ago by a woman he was about to propose to. “This is a joke,” Adcroft told himself. “I’m an expert at this. I’m going to write the book now. I’m actually the world’s best expert at this. I’ve contemplated killing myself and came close because my heart was so broken. If I’ve come that close, I think that qualifies me as an expert.

Cemetery stories come to life By ANDY DAVIS For Go Lackawanna
NEWS
Sunday, September 25, 2011
DUNMORE — Area residents will have the chance to get a history lesson from the dead at Dunmore Cemetery, 400 Church St., Dunmore, on Sundays, Oct. 2 and 9. The Dearly Departed Players, a group of volunteers, will host its annual historical cemetery tours that work to shed light on some of the personal stories of those entombed in the cemetery. Julie Esty, a 14-year volunteer for the Dearly Departed Players and director of the tours for the last eight years, gets excited every time she thinks about the talent level and diversity of the Dearly Departed Players. “Some of us are stage performers, singers, musicians,
dancers, authors. And some of us do both the historical thing…and the artistic thing. We’ve got a lot of talent and a lot of knowledge in our group. We work as a team and we enjoy what we do,” Esty said. The tour changes year to year, and consists of 20 costumed vignettes organized throughout the cemetery. The Dearly Departed Players conduct first-person portrayals of people who are buried in the cemetery and tell stories from their lives. This year’s tour will feature a sound system for the first time. “We’re so thrilled with that. Previous to this, we’ve been talking at the top of our lungs trying to be sure everyone can hear us but with a crowd that big, we know not everyone was hearing us. This year, there will be no
problem at all,” Esty said. The Scranton Civic Ballet, under the direction of Helen Gaus, will also perform a piece in the cemetery as part of the tour. Scranton High School’s photography students helped by taking black and white photographs of the cemetery that will be on display before the tour.

‘Moneyball’ a homerun All ages will flip for this pet saga S
Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane (a slyly intelligent Brad Pitt) never watches his team play, catching only snatches on TV or radio. Insulating himself from the emotional swings of headfirst dives into home plate and heartbreak strikeouts, he learned to see baseball analytically. He challenged the tradition, rejecting magical thinking about lucky streaks, jinxes and rituals. His data-driven approach took the game out of the realm of voodoo and into predictive data mining. Peter Brand (Jonah Hill), a naive Yale economics nerd with an eye for underpriced talent, helps Beane draft young, inexpensive players and unwanted, affordable veterans with high on-base percentages. With a team of “misfit toys,” they transform the small-market A’s into a juggernaut. “Moneyball,” not a sports movie but an outsiders’ tale adapted from Michael Lewis’ nonfiction bestseller, marbles together the Athletics’ record-breaking 2002 season with flashbacks to Beane’s failure-haunted past. Pitt’s Beane is as original a charac-

ter as I’ve seen in a baseball drama. He’s a driven, disappointed athlete, his youthful dreams of World Series glory crushed but still smoldering. He passed up a full scholarship at Stanford in favor of a big-money outfielder’s position for the New York Mets. He never became the top player the recruiters anticipated. He never even learned to give those stirring locker-room speeches that are sportsmovie staples; his big pep talk is five seconds of silence. How can you not fall in love?

aquarium where the handicapped dolphin is brought to recover. His mother (Ashley Judd) is incensed until she realizes that Sawyer’s attachment to Winter has turned her failing student into a responsible, hardworking and studious young would-be marine biologist. Winter’s recuperation is fraught with setbacks, but with the aid of a cantankerous prosthetics specialist (Morgan Freeman), Sawyer learns never to lose faith. The film has a warm web of
human relationships, as well, with Cozi Zuehlsdorff as the aquarium’s resident preteen chatterbox, Harry Connick Jr. as her father, the kindly but cash-strapped aquarium chief, and Kris Kristofferson as Connick’s old-salt dad, who is always good for straight talk and a crinkly smile. Playing herself, Winter is a breakthrough star. For those who loathe saccharine kiddie movies but can still shed a tear at the story of a child and a beloved pet, “Dolphin Tale” is a perfect fit.
Runaway from ‘Abduction’ By RENE RODRIGUEZ McClatchy Newspapers
SPORTS
ometimes inspirational films have no craftsmanship to accompany their uplift. Not so with “Dolphin Tale, a swell yarn about a boy and his bond with an injured bottlenose. Children don’t have to apologize for taking their parents to this one. The cast is delightful, the story corny without being cloyingly high-fructose, the direction first-rate. Its awkward, immature stumbles are few, and even those are redeemed by the project’s sunny sincerity. “Dolphin Tale” is inspired by the real-life story of Winter, a South Florida dolphin who lost her tail to a crab trap. Sawyer (winningly played by wide-eyed Nathan Gamble) comforts the beached cetacean until the marine-animal rescue unit can arrive, creating a powerful bond of affection that runs both ways. The lonely middle-schooler begins cutting class to visit the
It takes all of five minutes for Taylor Lautner to lose his shirt and 10 more before “Abduction” becomes so awful that uncontrollable laughter bursts forth. Lautner, who shot to superstardom virtually overnight playing the werewolf Jacob in the “Twilight” series, was paid $7.5 million to star in this generic action picture, but it’s unfair to pick on him. All involved in this ridiculous film are in it for the money. After this, Shawn Christensen, debuting as a screenwriter, should never be allowed near even a word processor or any sort of writing utensil again. The movie centers on Nathan (Lautner), an ordinary teenager who discovers a photo of him taken as a child on a website for missing persons. With the help of his classmate Karen (played by Lily Collins, presumably cast because she’s such a bad actress she can’t make her leading man look bad), Nathan discovers everything about his life is a lie. His parents (Jason Isaacs and Maria Bello) aren’t really his parents. He tells his shrink (Weaver) he feels like a stranger in his own life. Soon, some very bad men come calling, and Nathan and Karen are forced

to run. The central premise isn’t intrinsically bad, but every aspect of the execution borders on atrocious. Nathan tells his shrink he suffers from severe insomnia, then in the very next line tells her about a dream he had the previous night. The main villain, played by Michael Nyqvist is a textbook example of sleazy Eurotrash heavies, though at least he seems aware of the movie he’s making and has some fun with his role. Although he can’t get much out of his actors, John Singleton can pull off an effective action sequence: A good fight scene is set inside the tight quarters of a train compartment, but all of “Abduction” rests on the buff shoulders of Lautner, who is simply too green and inexperienced to carry a movie on his own.

TUNNEL HILL – With 9.4 seconds remaining in the second quarter the game still scoreless, Lackawanna Trail faced a thirdand-goal on the Riverside 1. Behind fullback Eric Laytos, Jeremy Greenley punched through a hole in the Vikings defense and stormed into the end zone to give the Lions the lead heading into the half. Lackawanna Trail carried the momentum into the second half and stopped state-ranked and District 2 Class A defending champion Riverside, 26-14. “Last year we played with Riverside a little bit in the first half but then they totally outmanned us,” Lions coach Steve Jervis said. “I think the difference this year is that our team has more big-game experience and our kids know how to win.” The Lions have won all four games this season.

SUSQUEHANNA – Lakeland’s defense and special teams shortened the field by a variety of methods early in Friday night’s game against Susquehanna. The Chiefs took advantage, building a 25-point lead in less than 16 minutes without ever having to move more than 33 yardsonthewaytoa32-8victory. Lakeland used a punt return, penalty, interception and fumble recovery to set up the scores that broke open the meeting between defending Lackawanna Football Conference division champions.

Each of Ingulli’s touchdowns gave the Buckhorns a 24-point lead on the way to the first win over the Comets in school history. Ingulli had more than100 yards rushing in each half.

A look back at the Saturday night games in Week Three that finished after the deadline of the previous Go Lackawanna: Lackawanna Trail, Dunmore, Scranton and Holy Cross were among the winners that night. Forcing Meyers to punt – or at least attempt to punt – was only the beginning for Lackawanna Trail in the first half. Once the Mohawks went into punt formation, the Lions went to work on making the plays that created a 55-7 rout. The Lions blocked two punts and tackled the punter for a loss another time while opening a 28point, second-quarter lead. Lackawanna Trail returned a punt for a score and partially blocked another during the second half while assuring the final 11:42 would be played under the Mercy Rule. “I think at times (Sept. 10) against Lake-Lehman, we didn’t hustle,” Lackawanna Trail coach Steve Jervis said. “We really wanted to hustle more. “I think that showed up in the special teams.” • Result: Lackawanna Trail 55, Meyers 7.

Golden opportunity for hockey fans TOM ROBINSON tion game at the home of their top minorleague team. Sidney Crosby, the world’s best hockey player, did not play this time. He played in the first Black and Gold Game here in 2009 but unfortunately remains unable to play anywhere as he continues a long, slow comeback from the aftereffects of a concussion. Crosby, who is just now able to increase the intensity of his practices with the team, still made the trip. Teammate Evgeni Malkin, one of the five or 10 best players in the world, did play. The Penguins chose their trip to Wilkes-Barre to put Malkin into game action for the first time since suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee Feb. 4. Although it was just an exhibition, hockey is not exactly a sport that can be played halfheartedly. Malkin’s two goals were a promising start. “For us it was a little difficult,” said former Wilkes-Barre head coach and current Pittsburgh assistant Todd Reirden, who coached the winning Gold team. “We had two days of training camp before we played the game. “We still didn’t get to all of our system stuff, but we were able to get to a majority of it and I thought both teams played well.” If there were any doubts about the au-

As he walked through thick mud that left an instant footprint for every step taken after the game, Wasilchak said the playing surface was the worst one of his teams has ever played on. “I’ve never it seen it like this,” he said. TEAM STATISTICS Lakeland led in first downs, 14-7. The Chiefs outgained the Sabers, 187-144, on the ground and, 255-168, overall. The teams combined for seven turnovers. Lakeland lost two fumbles and an interception. Susquehanna, which had eight fumbles for the second time in three weeks, lost two of the fumbles
thenticity of the competition, the bodies crashing into goalies, including Pittsburgh starter Marc-Andre Fleury, should have provided a clue. Jobs were on the line for some of the likely Pittsburgh and Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton Penguins who made up the Black and Gold rosters Monday night. Showing they were healthy enough to play in more important games was the task for others. If that was not enough, there were always other ways to create competition. Malkin and Jordan Staal, who scored twice for the Black team in its 3-2 loss to Malkin’s Gold team, had a wager with the

Susquehanna’s Pruitt had a game-high 87 yards on 13 carries while teammate James Murnock had 84 yards on 13 carries. Kiehart completed four of six passes for 39 yards while Rojenches completed his only pass for 19. Filarsky led all receivers with three catches for 43 yards. DEFENSIVE STATISTICS Delfinohadthreetacklesforatotal of 20 yards in losses and forced a fumble. He had four tackles total. DeAntonio also made four tackles.

loser having to get on his knees and untie the other’s skates at practice the next day. Staal, who had a breakaway with a shot at the hat trick and a tie in the third period, knew he would have to pay up. “Every game here is competitive,” Staal said. “It’s a game of hockey and it can get intense quickly.” Malkin showed he could handle that intensity. “It was pretty good,” he said. “I was glad to play the whole game. “It was important because I haven’t played in a long time. My knee isn’t bad.” Fans in Wilkes-Barre were able to witness evidence of that.

Lackawanna Trail moves into another matchup with a defending champion when it plays at LFC Division 2 titlist Lakeland. “I love our kids,” Jervis said. “They play hard and it really is a team effort every week.” Riverside moves into a big rivalry game on the road at Old Forge.

WILKES-BARRE TOWNSHIP — The New York Yankees had the good fortune of an established fan base, rivaled only by the Philadelphia Phillies, when they moved their Class AAA players to Moosic and what was then Lackawanna County Stadium. The Pittsburgh Penguins had no such luck a dozen years ago. Hockey had not been played professionally in northeastern Pennsylvania and the fans of the sport that were already in place locally were more likely to be connected to National Hockey League teams in New York or Philadelphia. As the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins prepare to begin their 13th season Oct. 8 at home against the Hershey Bears, the connection the American Hockey League team and its fans have with the parent team is a strong one. It is no accident that the Penguins have been one of the strongest franchises at the gate in league history and one of the most successful on the ice over the past decade. Monday night at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza was another example why they are thriving at a time when the region’s baseball franchise is struggling. Just three days into training camp, and following a morning practice, the Pittsburgh Penguins essentially picked up their entire organization to fly players, coaches and front office members across the state to put on an intrasquad exhibi-

Local Yankees miss deadline for ’12 plan By TOM ROBINSON For Go Lackawanna
The Scranton/WilkesBarre Yankees missed their deadline to provide the International League with a plan for their temporary home field in 2012. The International League imposed a revised timeline on the Yankees to get the decisions made and approved after being unable to do so at its meeting in Albuquerque, N.M. this week. The Yankees expect to be out of PNC Field next season while it is scheduled for renovation. “The Scranton/WilkesBarre team has not presented a proposed plan to International League Directors regarding the site/sites to be used for home games during the 2012 season by the September 20 date previously established the League,” IL president Randy Mobley said in a prepared release Tuesday night. “As a result, league directors have established a timeline and process that will assure this matter is resolved in a timely manner.” The release also said that the league will not comment on the matter until it is resolved. Mobley did say in a telephone interview Thursday that although the failure to come up with a plan affects other league members, “at this point in time there are no other sanctions in place,” other than the requirement to meet the new timeline. International League directors do not all gather again in person until baseball’s winter

Littleford, a women’s soccer player, was selected for the second straight week, had a goal and an assist in a 2-1 win over Wells College. Clarke, a Lackawanna Trail graduate, was the top finisher from the Keystone men’s cross
meetings in December. Mobley said there are no plans to convene an additional meeting in the meantime. LOCAL PLAYERS Abington Heights graduate Cory Spangenberg batted .471 in the postseason, helping the Fort Wayne TinCaps sweep the best-of-three Midwest League quarterfinal series before being swept in the semifinals. Spangenberg, a lead-off hitting second baseman, did his best to try to extend Fort Wayne’s season. The first-round draft pick by the parent San Diego Padres in June’s Major League Baseball Draft singled in the tying run in the top of the ninth inning of a season-ending, 8-7 loss to the Lansing Lugnuts. Spangenberg went 3-for-4 in the game with a walk to finish 8-for-17 in four playoff games. In the quarterfinals, Spangenberg had five hits in two games against the Bowling Green Hot Rods. He led off the clinching win with a double and the game’s first run scored. Spangenberg also was involved in helping Fort Wayne clinch the playoff spot on the last day of the regular season. His two-run single capped a four-run ninth inning that turned a 3-2 lead into a 7-2 victory over the West Michigan Whitecaps. In 72 games on two levels, Spangenberg batted .316 in the regular season in his first year as a professional.
country team at Misericordia University’s Cougar Classic where he was 13th out of 89 runners. TOP EVENTS Christina Cognetti scored in the 15th minute and the University of Scranton held Marywood University to just four shots while winning the first-ever meeting between the two soccer teams, 1-0, Wednesday night.
Spangenberg batted .287 in 47 Midwest League games with 35 runs and 15 stolen bases. After struggling to a .154 average in July, he hit .350 in August and .381 in five September games. Spangenberg’s pro debut came with the Eugene Emeralds where he batted .384 in 25 games. He led the Northwest League in on-base percentage (.545) and walks (31) and was tied for the lead in run scored (20) and doubles (10) at the time of his promotion to the full-season Class A team in Fort Wayne. Old Forge’s Kyle McMyne and Lackawanna Trail’s Jacke Healey also played professionally this season. McMyne also made his pro debut this summer after he was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds out of Villanova University. McMyne had arm trouble early in his season with the Billings Mustangs of the Pioneer League, a Rookie league. He finished 1-1 in an 8.00 earned run average. In 27 innings over 10 games, all starts, McMyne gave up 36 hits and 14 walks while striking out 27. Healey, a 2010 draft pick by the Houston Oilers, continued to struggle at the plate in his second year as a professional. The shortstop remained in the half-season New YorkPenn League with the Tri-Valley ValleyCats in Troy, N.Y. After hitting .270 in 44 games as a rookie, Healey batted .156 with three homers and 19 RBI in 49 games. He
did steal eight bases after not stealing any in 2010 and he showed improvement at the plate late in the season. Healey batted .078 through July 31 and .234 from August 1 on. COLLEGE CONNECTIONS There were also five former Keystone College players and two from Lackawanna College active in the minor leagues this season. Yazy Arbelo, Eric Groff and Victor Lara all went from Keystone to the Arizona Diamondbacks system in 2010. Bryan Henry went the same route this year. Sean Murphy also represents the Giants on the minor-league level. Arbelo saw his batting average dip but his power numbers soar during his second professional season. Arbelo hit .247 with 31 homers and 95 RBI in 134 games with the South Bend Silver Hawks of the Midwest League. He started for the East Division at first base in the mid-season All-Star Game and finished the year as the league home run champ. He was second in the league in RBI. Groff, a third baseman batted .316 with 14 homers and 48 RBI in 66 games with the Missoula Osprey of the Pioneer League. He set a club record with a 24-game hitting streak and finished with 47 runs, 23 doubles, five triples and 10 stolen bases. Lara was 1-3 with a save and a 4.80 ERA in 22 relief appearances as Groff’s teammate in Missoula. He gave up
just 23 hits, but walked 21 while striking out 40 in 30 innings. Henry was also at Missoula where he was a back-up catcher. He had three homers and eight RBI while hitting .220 in 19 games. Murphy went 1-3 with a 6.33 ERA in 15 games, including six starts with the Burlington Bees of the Midwest League. He won his only game with Stockton of the California League to start the season and improve to 4-0 as a professional at that point. Dan Winnie and Chris Sedon were each in their second seasons as pros after playing at Lackawanna. Winnie, who went directly from the Falcons to the Atlanta Braves organization, went 3-1 with a 2.13 ERA in 15 games, including five starts with Danville of the Appalachian League. He gave up 30 hits and 28 walks while striking out 37 in 42 1/3 innings. Sedon, who was drafted by the Detroit Tigers out of the University of Pittsburgh, played with three teams this season. Sedon hit .333 with a homer and three RBI for the Connecticut Tigers of the New-York Penn League. The infielder then batted .250 with three homers and seven RBI with the Western Michigan Whitecaps of the Midwest League, before finishing with two homers, six RBI and a .178 average in 30 games with the Lakeland Flying Tigers of the Florida State League.
Samantha Russo’s pass set up Cognetti’s goal. Erika Symons, a freshman from Mid Valley, had a hat trick Tuesday to lead Lackawanna College to a 3-2 women’s soccer win over Harcum College. Derek Klingman, a sophomore from Abington Heights, scored the first two goals of his college career in the second half in Scranton’s 4-1win over Mount Saint Mary College (N.Y.) Sept.
18. Joe Mora went 3-0 in both singles and doubles to help the University of Scranton go 29-8 in matches during the two-day Scranton Invitational, a nonteam scoring men’s tennis event. Chris Schank shot 74-72—146 to lead Scranton in the Empire 8 Championships where the Royals are fourth out of eight teams at the midway point of the event,
which concludes during the spring season. Shawna Welp scored in the 11th minute of overtime to lift King’s College to a1-0 field hockey victory over Scranton Sept. 17. The loss ended the team’s winning streak at six games, the longest since 2006, for the Lady Royals who have since bounced back with a 5-1win over Albright Wednesday to improve to 5-1. - Compiled by Tom Robinson
