Reports help bring positive change to hometown For the last several weeks, one of my focuses here at Go Lackawanna has been tracking the increasing number of bath salts-related incidents. My attention first reached a climax on March 9 when a man allegedly high on the substances cut a priest almost a dozen times and bruised him a half dozen more. As I learned more about the product and the dangerous instances police have encountered, including a man who continued to inject the misnamed substances as he approached police, telling the stories became imperative. I’ve said many times on my personal social networking sites just how important I felt those stories were and will continue to be.
BEHIND THE BYLINES CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES
On Wednesday, my assumptions became reality. That morning, three Lackawanna County judges approved a preliminary injunction against the sale of such products in the city of Scranton. Six businesses were identified as retailers, and efforts to bring the injunction to other municipalities continued Thursday including an effort by Luzerne County District Attorney Jacqueline Musto Carroll. Included in the civil complaint were a handful of exhibits including testimony from an emergency room doctor at Community Medical Center and Scranton Chief of Police Dan Duffy. Duffy’s written testimony highlighted the real
fears that exist for both the public and the police department. “Exhibit C” came as quite a surprise. There, behind the identification of dangerous chemical compounds and origins of their abuse, was my March 9 article about the alleged attack on Rev. Fran Landry. I guess pushing our stories to the Internet in advance of Sunday’s print publication is even more valuable than I first thought. My reporting on bath salts is important to me. Some of the shops that sold it before Wednesday are blocks from my home, my daughter’s school, and my mother’s home. The people who abuse bath salts allegedly believe their life is in danger and can put others in harm’s way as a result. Some have jumped out of windows and hurt themselves,
and others like the Lackawanna County mothers who allegedly drove with their children in the back seat of their vehicle after ingesting the salts put innocent people in the line of fire. Illegal drug abuse is one thing, but the fact that these substances were legal for a time is downright frightening. Wednesday was a first step against the abuse of methylene and MDPV. We’ll be watching local and state government for more legal action, including a scheduled hearing Monday afternoon in Lackawanna County that may bring a permanent injunction against their sale in Scranton. For now, something I wrote is included in a court-approved document highlighting the clear and present danger that bath salts pose. I had always heard that good newspapers can create positive
change. Now others will hear that not-so-tall tale from me. Christopher J. Hughes is “Exhibit C.” E-mail him at chughes@golackawanna.com.

Vice President Joe Biden is briefed by staffers including Andrea Mead, right, in his West Wing Office earlier this year.
W
ASHINGTON, D.C. – Vice President Joe Biden has never been shy about his upbringing in the Green Ridge section of Scranton. Biden’s roots were even recalled during the State of the Union address in January 2011 when President Barack Obama referred to him as a “working class kid from Scranton.”
Another northeastern Pennsylvania native recently completed her opportunity to work directly with the vice president. Moscow native AnMead drea Mead, 30, of Washington, D.C., spent the last nine months on a press secretary detail with Biden, but she’s no stranger to the Obama administration. She worked as a campaign volunteer for several months until Obama secured the Democratic
Party nomination in the summer of 2008. “I was doing volunteer work as a press advance person. After he locked the nomination, the campaign asked me to sign on full time. I became the press secretary for the campaign based in Pennsylvania,” she said.

City Council still plans to introduce ban
HEAD LABEKL
By RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com
SCRANTON – Less than 24 hours after City Council announced they would introduce legislation on April 5 to ban the sale and possession of bath salts within in the city, Lackawanna County filed a preliminary injunction against businesses selling the synthetic drug. At council’s March 29 meeting, Councilman Jack Loscombe, who serves as its public safety chairman, said that the abuse of so-called bath salts has put the city “in the midst of a crisis that is bordering on the verge of epidemic proportions.” Earlier this month, a man high on bath salts allegedly attacked a priest at St. Ann’s Monastery. On March 28, two Lackawanna County women were arrested for driving under the influence of the drug while two children remained unsecured in the back seat of the vehicle. Loscombe said that city residents and police officers must be protected from “these so-called legal drugs,” so council asked their solicitor Boyd Hughes to draft legislation that would ban the use, possession, sale, delivery, and distribution of all synthetic drugs, particularly those labeled as bath salts, within city limits. While legislation already exists in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives that addresses a state-wide ban of the drugs, Loscombe said that the city “cannot wait” for the state legislature. “We know the pace at which big government operates,” Loscombe said. “This problem is too dire an issue to continue and let languish. We have to place legislation on the table now before the substances result in a local fatality.” Other council members echoed Loscombe’s concerns. “Generally, I’m against government getting involved in people’s lives, but when public safety comes into question, government has to act,” Councilman Pat Rogan said.

BATH SALT SALES HALTED By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES chughes@golackawanna.com
S
CRANTON – Three Lackawanna County judges approved an injunction against six city businesses banning the sale of synthetic drugs disguised as bath salts on Wednesday morning.
The court order comes after weeks of incidents surrounding the synthetic drugs and a day after Scranton City Council first announced a future ordinance intended to ban the sale and possession of the product. Lackawanna County District Attorney Andy Jarbola, the plaintiff in the order, called the injunction a “stopgap measure” until proposed statutes move through the Pennsylvania legislature. “This is the first step in a process in which we want to prevent these products from being sold
not only in the city, but throughout Lackawanna County as well,” Jarbola said. The injunction calls for the immediate end to the sale of products containing the compounds of Methylene, Mephedrone and Methylenedioxyprovalerone, or MDPV, commonly found in bath salts. It directs the defendants to pay separate civil penalties of $1,000 for “each instance of a willful violation of the Order Enjoining their conduct.”
Wednesday’s complaint says that so-called bath salts are an “emerging menace” that commonly cause hallucinations, paranoia, suicidal thoughts, seizures, irritability and more. The Scranton Police Department attempted to deliver the court orders to businesses Wednesday afternoon, according to Chief Dan Duffy. That detail continued past 3 p.m., and reports on the receipt of the orders were not expected before Thurs-
day. Jarbola said those businesses and their respective owners could face criminal charges should they choose to ignore the injunction. The threat to public welfare through the sale of such products makes it a public nuisance and could also bring second-degree misdemeanor charges for reckless endangerment, according to court documents. Disguising the products as household items also violates the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law. Lackawanna County President Judge Tom Munley and Judges Michael Barrasse and Margaret Bisignani Moyle granted the preliminary injunction after hearing arguments in court at 9 a.m. Wednesday. Atty. Todd O’Malley, who has worked closely with the district attorney’s office to craft the injunction and represented Jarbola See INJUNCTION, Page 7

Advocacy Center discusses mission in honor of Child Abuse Awareness Month
BIDEN Continued from page 3
LEARN MORE
SCRANTON – April is Child Abuse Awareness Month, and the staff members and volunteers of the Children’s Advocacy Center of Northeastern Pennsylvania, 1710 Mulberry St., Scranton, are busy planning events to tell others about the services they provide to children age 18 and under across the region. Janina Peters, 24, West Scranton, said many different parts of the Center are important. “How important it is that these children are given treatment, regardless of how significant or insignificant the abuse may seem at the time because it has a way of making its rounds and coming back when they’re an adult or when they have children,” Peters said. “It’s really important to effectively stop this problem before it begins. “That’s the only way we’re going to see child abuse cases diminishing and the only way we’re going to see less of them is if you raise that awareness amongst the victims when they’re still young and impressionable. That’s what the Advocacy Center tries to do.” Eli Pascal, 33, Scranton, has

been with the CAC of NEPA for more than a year. Working with the Center allows her to see the best of people in every aspect. “People go above and beyond when given the ability,” Pascal said. The center’s rold can often be difficult to discuss, forensic interviewer and trauma counselor Jennifer Aglialaro, 37, said. “I think people want to be in denial. It’s a very bad, scary thing that’s happening to kids. It’s a hard message to get out. You don’t want to be in people’s faces and say, ‘Hey, you know the world is evil’ but at the same time you need to be realistic.” Procedures, protocols and
the involvement of more people at the CAC have drastically changed since 1985, according to CAC of NEPA Director Mary Ann LaPorta. Several parties representing law enforcement, Children and Youth services, or the medical profession previous spoke to victims at separate. “The most central part of the CAC dynamic is that there’s one interview…It’s a very reverent protocol. The reason for the one interview is that if there is a revisiting of the trauma that we don’t need to keep doing it to the child,” Mary Ann La Porta, director for the Children’s Advocacy Center of Northeastern Pennsylvania, said. After several attorneys discussed their prosecution rates on child abuse cases, a model and protocol called the MultiDisciplinary Team was created in an effort to help prosecute more successfully and not have the child relive the incident numerous times, according to La Porta. The team, which contains representatives of law enforcement, the District Attorney’s office, Children and Youth Services, a physician, a trauma therapist, and a child victim’s advocate listens to interviews recorded live in a separate room.
Making the connection Mead first traveled with Biden on a November 2010 trip to Kokomo, Ind., a manufacturing town impacted positively by the Recovery Act and the president’s auto restructuring program. “It was the first time I was responsible for briefing the vice president – making sure he knew what he was doing, who he was going to be meeting, what he should be talking about, and that kind of thing. I was very, very, very nervous because I’ve been told that the vice president is a detail person,” she recalled. On the trip back to Washington, he came back to speak with his staff. “He sat down next to me and he said, ‘You did a good job for your first time.’ That’s when I was able to tell him that I was
from Scranton,” she said. “He asked me immediately where specifically I was from. I said Moscow…He went on to name, like, every small town with a quirky name in Pennsylvania. When asked if she’s had to cover for any of Biden’s famous gaffes, she coyly replied that it was “nothing I wouldn’t do again.” “He obviously does get a lot of attention for saying things that maybe he shouldn’t have said, but that’s why people love him. You know that the vice president’s going to say it straight…He’s going to say what needs to be said. “I honestly think that the president appreciates it.” Whirlwind experience While the work can sometimes consume the day very quickly, Mead said she’s had a few surprising moments that have let her reflect on her work in Washington. “I remember one time when I was standing outside the vice president’s office in the West Wing. We had just finished a meeting with him, and I was just about to go to my office,” Mead said. “A Secret Service officer walked down the hall, and he asked me to stop. Following right behind him was the president, and he said, ‘Hey, how are you doing?’ “There’s been a couple of times where I’ve just passed him in the hall. Those are the moments where you stop and say, ‘Wow.’” Mead’s nine-month detail as a press secretary with Biden ended Thursday. Her focus with HUD will continue to be economic and community development and related issues.

Police: Mom Legislators struggle with plan for public dollars with .25 BAC tried to drive son home By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES chughes@golackawanna.com
DICKSON CITY – A mother who was allegedly arguing with her 6-year-old son at the bar inside a Red Lobster restaurant on March 27 faces charges following a breathalyzer test that revealed she had a .25 blood-alcohol level. Christine Harrity, 45, of Scranton, is charged with one count each of public drunkenness and endangering the welfare of a child after the alleged incident. According to an affidavit: Dickson City police were dispatched to the Red Lobster location along the Scranton Carbondale Highway Sunday evening for “a report of an intoxicated female acting abusive towards her child.” Staff told police that she was “screaming at her little boy” and alleged that she may have hit him. Officers spoke to Harrity outside of the restaurant where she agreed to a preliminary breath test. The test showed a blood-alcohol level more than three times the legal limit. Police said Harrity’s breath smelled like alcohol and that she had bloodshot, glassy eyes and displayed slurred speech. The boy was released to his father after Children and Youth Services were contacted. Harrity was arraigned March 28 and released on $5,000 unsecured bail. A preliminary hearing is set for April 4.

A look at voucher bill By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES chughes@golackawanna.com
SCRANTON – Public and parochial schools had their say on proposed legislation before the Pennsylvania Senate regarding school vouchers during a Democratic Policy Committee hearing Thursday at Marywood University. In separate panels, officials from the Scranton, Blue Ridge
and Mountain View districts along with representatives of the Scranton Hebrew Day School, Keystone Christian Education Association and the Diocese of Scranton addressed their polar takes on Senate Bill 1. Approximately 50 percent of students in Scranton will become eligible for the opportunity scholarships in their third
year if the bill is passed, according to Scranton Federation of Teachers President Rosemary Boland. She claimed the bill, as written, will not prohibit private schools from choosing their students from a field of applicants while the public system would continue to accept all students. “The plain fact is that unless the child is well-behaved, be-
longs to the ‘right’ social class or religion, or has the right mix of intellectual, creative, and athletic abilities, that child may not be chosen to attend said private school,” Boland said.

Police, postal inspectors deliver package of pot to Scranton man
By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES chughes@golackawanna.com
SCRANTON – Pennsylvania State Police made a controlled delivery of a package on Monday that contained up to five pounds of marijuana destined for a Scranton resident. Seune Van Le, 35, of 615 Moosic St., Scranton, was the intended recipient of an express mail package
weighing six pounds from Simi Valley, Calif. Postal inspectors and a K-9 dog at the Philadelphia International Airport had identified the suspect parcel days before. On March 22, postal inspectors contacted Le, and he told them he was looking for a box from Simi Valley, according to an affidavit. Inspectors told him the package would be
sent from Philadelphia to the Stafford Avenue post office. On Monday, postal inspectors told Le the package was in Scranton, and he arrived at the post office just after 11 a.m. to pick it up. He was approached by law enforcement after providing identification and signing for the parcel. Le told police that the package
contained marijuana, which he purchased for about $1,200 per pound and sold for up to $3,200 per pound. The package contained nearly five pounds of marijuana that field tested positive. Le was arraigned March 28 and held for a lack of $20,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is set for April 7.

in the order, lauded the court’s decision. “I don’t think there’s another county court in the United States of America that has banned bath salts,” O’Malley said. “It makes me very proud that this court saw the wisdom because it was very clear through the affidavits that we presented them that one of our young people in this community is going to die as a result of using these very, very dangerous substances or cause the death of someone else. “It’s the first time, I think, in the history of the county where the district attorney has reached out to a civil trial lawyer in a situation that will help make the county a little bit safer,” he added.

Some Scranton vendors recently told members of the district attorney’s office they intended to sell the remainder of their stock before removing synthetic marijuana and methamphetamine sold as incense and bath salts from their shelves. “That’s not good enough in my book. If they’re going to plan on continuing to sell the product after the injunction was entered, there are going to be ramifications,” Jarbola said. City police have dealt with a variety of bath salts-related incidents, including the March 9 attack on a Roman Catholic priest inside St. Ann’s Monastery. “It’s a win for us in law enforcement, because the less people that sell it, the less likely we’re going to have people under the influence of it within our jurisdiction,” Duffy said. “Our hands are still tied on a law enforcement end to go out and enforce something. However, some help is better than no help at all.”

SCRANTON – Local businessman Bob Bolus told City Council on Tuesday that he was halting further legal action against the city of Scranton in favor of “intelligent” discussion with the city solicitor. Last Friday, Bolus filed a civil action against the city and planned to follow it up with the filing of a Special Petition for Emergency Relief and a Petition for Injunction seeking a court order to strike a condemnation notice posted on Bolus’ home. He tore the notice from the door of his East Mountain residence, saying that his recently waterdamaged property never should have been condemned. Bolus said he has stayed in the home, 1531 Birch St., since then and noted that it was never inspected inside by the city. “The house is definitely not uninhabitable…If any kind of inspector wanted to come in there, I’m be more than glad to show him what work is going to be done by the contractor, who is a licensed city contractor,” Bolus said. Bolus said he had a “produc-
tive” dialogue with city solicitor Paul Kelly at his office and found that there may be no need to get the courts involved. “This could have been resolved with a little intelligence, had people supplied the right information,” Bolus said. “I think intelligent people, mature people, can set up a dialogue and get things done.” As a result of the discussion, Bolus agreed to hold off on his plans. “He’s looking to resolve the issue at the least expense to anybody and, of course, it’s time consuming,” Bolus said. “We were prepared to go to court on Thursday and I gave Paul my word that we would hold back on it until we see where this agreement goes.” The home’s condemnation, he feels, was a “political” move by the city “based on a fallacy” spread by his neighbors. Neighbors have claimed that Bolus has continually blocked sections of their property with his trucks and trailers. Bolus said the trailers stored his damaged goods and tools for repairing his home after a cement truck used in the construction of a neighbor’s home allegedly

SCRANTON – The Electric City will become a little brighter as much-needed street light repairs begin under new maintenance provider Joyce Electrical. After a contract with Municipal Energy Managers for light maintenance ended last year, a request for proposals was sent out by the city. Joyce Electrical, Inc., 333 Second St., Eynon, came in as the lowest bidder and was awarded a one-year contract. In the meantime, entire blocks grew dark across the city. The Department of Public Works, PPL Electric Utilities, and city council have been inundated with complaints in recent weeks. City Councilman Jack Loscombe highlighted the issue at a council meeting two weeks ago,
asking that letters be sent to city administration for an update on the issue. On Tuesday, Council President Janet Evans reported that the city has allowed Joyce Electrical to purchase its own supplies and equipment so that they could begin work immediately. The company added all outage reports to the city into their system and began work as of Friday, March 25. PPL has also forwarded the reports they received to Joyce Electrical, Evans said. City residents can report outages by logging onto a new Web site, www.nepalights.com. An 11-digit pole number and street address are required. “I’m sure Joyce Electrical will do a great job,” Councilman Pat Rogan said. “Hopefully, within the next few weeks, everyone will be seeing their lights repaired.”

REAL ISSUE ADDRESSED? Legislators said Thursday that in 501 school districts across Pennsylvania, only 144 individual schools are deemed “failing.” Three school districts – Harrisburg, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh – account for 115 of those schools with more than 90 coming from the Philadelphia area alone, according to Rep. Marc Gergely (Pa.-35). “This is a three community issue,” Gergely said. “You shouldn’t have the burden of bearing the money, taxpayer dollars, flying into these communities and we’re going to lose out for our kids.” “If other school districts are working well, let’s not break them by trying to fix the 144,” Blue Ridge School Board President Alan Hall added.
community-based family environment.” Clater also called the accountability to parents a more “true accountability” than reporting facts and figures to a government entity. Diocese of Scranton Secretary for Catholic Schools and Superintendent Kathleen Hanlon said there are often misconceptions about the exclusivity of
private, Catholic schools. “Our families, contrary to popular belief, represent the society in which we all live and have the challenges which we all face,” she said. The proposed legislation offers students and parents their right to choose a non-public school, she added. She said that private schools also regularly accept students with physical or mental disabilities. “It’s not accurate to assume that we do not serve children in those situations,” Hanlon said. Legislators like Rep. James Roebuck, Jr. (Pa.-188) said the differentiation between public dollars and private entities is the backbone of their struggle with the bill. “I’m wondering how do we take public dollars to serve the continuation of a private education or to reinforce religious values?” Roebuck asked. “The question is how we can help you without destroying the system that we have before us,” Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski (Pa.-121) added. The next hearing on school vouchers is set for Thursday, April 7 at 10 a.m. at the Pennsylvania Capitol Building.

cording to Mountain View School District Superintendent Dr. Andrew Chichura. “The voucher system is going to take more funds from the public schools. The proponents say that it’s not going to, but there’s only one pot of money,” he said. In addition, children who have attended charter and private schools and returned to the public system can often require twice the learning resources to recover remedial losses, Blue Ridge School Board President Alan Hall said. The district has had nearly 10 of 50 private school students return to Blue Ridge on an annual basis, he said. Opponents seek the addition of accountability standards in private schools to the current language in S.B. 1. In separate testimony, REACH Foundation Executive Board Member and KCEA Executive Director Rev. Theodore Clater said that religious schools build “much more of a

hopes for his journey. Kicking it off in his hometown, he said, was an ideal choice. “This is Scranton. If we can make it here, we can make it anywhere,” he said. A positive attitude, Cameron believes, helped him reach the point where he was able to put his own health issues aside so he could help others. Cameron said those faced with adversity should never quit. “Life is yours, whatever you want to make of it,” he said. “I don’t know the word ‘no’. I don’t know the word ‘quit’. Sometimes you have to quit because you reach that proverbial end of the road, but for me it is an awful long way before I get to that place where I quit.”

SCRANTON - When faced with a life-changing medical diagnosis, Harold Cameron, 54, of Scranton decided to walk forward into the path of the storm. This weekend marks the beginning of Cameron’s charity walk, “Positively Crossing America and Back”, which will benefit “Miles for Hope.” The organization provides awareness and education about brain tumors and brain cancer along with funding for clinical trials and patient transportation. The walk began Saturday at the Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain and will continue over the course of the next 18 months through cities such as Washington, D.C., Miami, Los Angeles, and Chicago. More than five years ago, Cameron, who uses a walker to get around, was diagnosed with having two brain tumors: an acoustic neuroma and a meningioma. Al-

you would then say ‘Okay, this is what it is. What do we do now?’ We went from the shock, fear, and depression into a plan of action.” That plan included a strong faith in God, who he feels inspired the walk following a missions trip with his church in 2007. To honor God, Cameron uses a cross as one of the symbols for his walk. “I have seen through the power of prayer and reading of the scriptures and meditation and taking medication appropriately and the support of friends that I have been able to make it through some very difficult and dark times with faith and with hope,” he said Cameron has his own high

also signs of a brain tumor. “If you are experiencing some of these symptoms and the doctors have tried a few different things, one of the first things you want to rule out is a brain tumor because a lot of times doctors do a CAT Scan or MRI as a last resort, but then the tumor has grown considerably.” Cameron credits his family’s support with helping him get through the days following his diagnosis. “Shock, fear, and depression were some of my first reactions to my diagnosis,” he said. “At the same time I was going through this, my stepmother was dying of bone cancer. You could imagine, hearing the word ‘tumor’ and not knowing whether it was benign or malignant was very distressful to all of us as a family. “Being cut from the tree I am, my dad, who is my hero and the wind beneath my wings, had a mindset of following the normal human emotions,” he continued. “After something would happen,

Pa. liquor store backers plead case By BILL O’BOYLE For Go Lackawanna
S
CRANTON – Proponents of keeping the state’s liquor store system intact offered testimony Wednesday before the House Democratic Policy Committee, and one witness said privatizing the system would not favor taxpayers. “There’s no question, the math doesn’t work,” said Wendell Young, president of the United Food Workers Local 1776 and chairman of the United Food and Commercial Workers PA Wine and Spirits Council. Young said the state system does a better job managing the sale of wine and spirits than the private sector. “There’s no question regarding the impact on society,” he said. Young told the panel that the push to privatize the liquor system would destroy a valuable public asset. “It makes sense only if you’re an investment speculator looking to turn a quick profit by investing in and then flipping licenses,” he said. “It makes sense only if you’re a chainstore retailer looking to clear some shelf space and you want your untrained and minimum-wage clerks selling this product.” Privatizing the system won’t create any new jobs, Young said, and it won’t create jobs for the 5,700 current state liquor system employees who would be out of work if the system was sold. He said his research has shown that in other states where privatization exists,
the stores that get liquor licenses use their existing employees to stock the shelves. Young also testified prices will not go down under a private system. Other states have shown his statement to be true, he said. State Rep. Michael Sturla, chairman of the policy committee, said Wednesday’s hearing, held in Redington Hall at the University of Scranton, was the fourth hearing on the issue. He said hearings were held in Philadelphia, Erie and Allegheny counties. Rep. Kevin Murphy, D-Scranton, hosted the Scranton hearing. Murphy said that over the past five years, the state’s liquor system has contributed about $2.3 billion to the treasury. Murphy, who formerly served as a liquor store examiner in the state Auditor General’s Office, used to audit the state’s liquor system. He said he knows the system is self-sufficient and contributes about $500 million annually to the budget. Murphy said all expenses are paid – leases, salaries, benefits and inventory – by the sale of wine and spirits. “The proposal’s numbers don’t add up, and it is ludicrous to sell off a state asset that returns millions annually in revenue back to the taxpayers for a one-time injection of revenue,” Murphy said. When state Rep. Mike Turzai, R-Bradford Woods, proposed the idea of selling off the liquor system, he said the state would realize about $2 billion in revenue. Young and other witnesses and committee members rebutted that claim. “To get $2 billion, licenses would have to sell for an average of $2.3 million each,” Young said. “That just doesn’t happen in our country. The average sale price for a liquor license will be about $200,000.”
Woman injured during man’s bath salts binge
By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES chughes@golackawanna.com
MADISON TWP. – Police were dispatched to a Madison Township home on Sunday morning for a report of a domestic dispute allegedly fueled the abuse of so-called bath salts. According to an affidavit: Pennsylvania State Police responded to a call at the home of Paul Michael Wolski, 43, at 1930 Becks Crossing Rd., Madison Twp. after 11 a.m. Sunday. Wolski had allegedly been ingesting
bath salts, according to the caller, Tammy Straussburger. When they arrived, police were met at the front door by Wolski, who spoke quickly and incoherently. Straussburger was seated in the living room crying, and she told police the two got into an argument after she began videotaping his actions after he was “shooting” bath salts over the past several days. Wolski allegedly pushed Straussburger over a coffee ta-
ble, and she injured her back. She told police she could not move, and an ambulance was called to take her to Community Medical Center. A packet of bath salts and three hypodermic needles were found on a living room table. Wolski was charged with simple assault and harassment at his March 27 arraignment. He was held for a lack of $5,000 bail, and a preliminary hearing is set for April 4.
Accused teacher case moves forward
By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES chughes@golackawanna.com
SCRANTON – A former Dunmore teacher accused on an improper relationship with one of his students appeared briefly in court Friday morning before Judge Michael Barrasse. Andrew Wally, 26, of Dunmore, faces 10 counts of corruption of minors and two counts of furnishing alcohol to minors after police allege he had a sexual
relationship with a student for several months, beginning when the girl was 17. Police said he admitted to the relationship when questioned earlier this year. The student, who is not named in criminal affidavits, turned over a promise ring that was allegedly given to her by Wally during their relationship. Wally and fellow former teacher Nicholas Truncale, 27, who he allegedly confided in
about the relationship, resigned their positions with the district in February. Truncale’s preliminary hearing has been continued twice and is now set for April 21. Wally’s appearance Friday was one of two pre-trial conferences scheduled. The second is set for May 16. According to Barrasse’s office, Wally is scheduled to stand trial on June 6.
Dunmore discusses mine subsidences, insurance
By STEPHANIE LONGO For Go Lackawanna
Dunmore residents learned about mine subsidences and how they can protect themselves at the Dunmore Borough Council work session on Monday. Maurice Gardner, a subsidence investigator with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, described the state’s mine subsidence insurance program, explaining that most of Dunmore sits on top of abandoned mines. On Jan. 1, a mine subsidence took place on the 500 block of Butler Street that cost more than $30,000 to fix. “This is definitely worth having if you’re in a mining region,” Gardner said. “We are not out to deny coverage. Our main goal is
to get people aware of our program and to try to protect them in case a subsidence was to hit their house.” Most homeowner’s insurance policies do not cover damage caused by the collapse of underground coal and clay mines. The state’s non-profit program, established in the1960s, offers coverage ranging from $5,000 to $500,000 and gives a low yearly premium as well as a 10 percent discount for senior citizens on their primary residence. Coverage is available for both residential and commercial buildings. “What happens when there is a mine subsidence is one of two things: either you have a roof failure and the roof collapses or you have pillar failure and that can happen in numerous ways,” he
said. “A pillar can fail and collapse and the roof will go with it or a pillar can fail and go through the floor with pillar punching where it will go through the roof of the mine.” Gardner also explained that a subsidence can happen fast and often without warning. “Mine subsidences generally happen quickly, you will notice something within a few hours or even overnight you might go to bed and wake up and see something different.,” he said. “It will affect the lowest part of the house first and work its way up.” Residents who want to know exactly what is underneath their home should contact the U.S. Office of Surface Mining in WilkesBarre where maps are available for consultation.

Cordaro, Munchak enter DUI case against moms may be a first second not guilty plea By ED LEWIS For Go Lackawanna
S
CRANTON – Lackawanna County Commissioner A.J. Munchak and former Commissioner Robert Cordaro entered not guilty pleas Thursday morning to a superseding indictment filed on Tuesday. The pair were arraigned before U.S. District Magistrate Judge Thomas Blewitt in the federal courthouse in Scranton at 11 a.m. Cordaro entered a “not guilty” plea, while Munchak said he was “absolutely not guilty.”
WILKES-BARRE – The arrest of a Throop woman on evidence of driving under the influence of bath salts is believed to be the first in the region and possibly the state. As the case against Michele Pace, 39, begins a slow process through the court system, a defense lawyer believes there is a good chance it may end sooner than later. City police charged Pace as the driver of a Chevrolet that was pursued from the busy intersection of Kidder and Scott streets to George Avenue on Monday. Police alleged Pace was swerving in traffic and nearly struck a utility pole and other vehicles before being boxed in a driveway by a detective and another officer, according to charges filed. Police said in the criminal complaint that Pace and a passenger, Donna Zilla, 40, of Dunmore, were under the influence of bath salts. Two children in the vehicle were not injured, police said. Pace and Zilla “appeared highly euphoric, aggressive and

“I wish the trial was tomorrow. I’m innocent, and I’m confident that my name will be cleared,” Munchak said outside the courthouse. He declined further comment. “We’re very comfortable with the facts of this case. (My attorney) Bill (Costopoulos) said it when we started this process – we are also very comfortable despite the trend around here that we’re going to get a fair jury. If we get a fair jury, we’ll be fine,” Cordaro added. They face a 41-count indictment charging them with racketeering, money laundering, honest services fraud, bribery, extortion, and other offenses. The latest indictment filed on Tuesday made 15 technical changes to the second indictment, including the addition of two money laundering charges against Cordaro. While they had previously pleaded not guilty, these changes required another arraignment. Federal prosecutors allege that Cordaro and Munchak used their positions as county commissioners to extort money from companies that did business with the county in what some have called a “pay to play” scheme. “It seems like everything is
done for the maximum publicity purposes here when I thought my government should be concerned about the truth. The deals they’ve made with people, the promises they’ve made, the things they’ve told people to get them to make the statements that bring us here today – all those things don’t seem intended to get to the truth,” Cordaro said. “They seem to be intended to convict someone and to prosecute someone, and I don’t think that’s the way the government should be proceeding, but that’s what we have here. “Politics is often a dirty business here in Lackawanna County.” Cordaro and Munchak were first indicted on March 16, 2010, and a second superseding indictment was filed in October to ensure the charges were in compliance with a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that declared certain sections of the honest services fraud statute to be unconstitutional. The latest superseding indictment made mostly technical changes, although two money laundering charges were also added against Cordaro. Cordaro said that he has requested further clarification of these changes. “We’ve asked for (details). We hope we get them…We’re entitled to know when these things happen. We’re entitled to know who said what, and that’s how we’re going to defend ourselves in June,” he explained. In a motion filed March 24, Munchak asked that the trial be moved from Wilkes-Barre to Scranton, arguing that it would be more convenient for himself, their lawyers, and potential witnesses who live and work closer to the William J. Nealon Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse in downtown Scranton. No mention of the motion was made at Thursday’s arraignment. The trial is still scheduled to begin June 6 in the Max Rosenn Federal Courthouse in WilkesBarre.
influence of a prescription medication. “There is the difference; a prescription medication is a drug. Bath salts are not,” Hakim said. Chemical compounds mephedrone and MDPV are the main ingredients that make up bath salts, which mirror cocaine and methamphetamine. The compounds are not listed under the state’s controlled substance act, which means anyone, including juveniles, can legally take the substance without fear of being arrested. The state House of Representatives is scheduled to vote April 4 to ban the sale and possession of bath salts before the legislation is moved to the state Senate. Pace was further charged with reckless endangerment, reckless driving and failing to have children restrained in safety seats. Zilla, the mother of the children, was charged with child endangerment, reckless endangerment and possession of drug paraphernalia. Preliminary hearings for the two women are scheduled on April 5 in Wilkes-Barre Central Court.

agitated. They were unable to control simple body movements, and when answering questions, both were flailing and talking quickly,” the complaint says. Pace was charged with driving under the influence of bath salts. A legal search of state court records failed to turn up any similar charges involving bath salts. Attorney John Hakim of Kingston said he believes police will have a difficult time prosecuting Pace on the DUI charge. “It is going to be a tough sell for prosecutors,” Hakim said. “Police can certainly charge somebody, but the question is: Will the charge stick?” Hakim said there is a section of the DUI statute that allows police to charge a driver if the driver is under the influence of a drug that impairs the ability to safely operate a vehicle. Hakim said the DUI law raises another question about bath salts. “Are bath salts a drug? They’re currently not illegal,” he said. Hakim noted a driver can be charged with driving under the

Davis has also worked on shows featuring Fugazi bassist Joe Lally and groups like The All-American Rejects, Paramore, and Minus the Bear. “My goal is to bring the most interesting, experimental things that you’re not going to see here,” Davis said. He’s found success in the use of non-traditional venues, including the Scranton used record shop Embassy Vinyl. Davis said if it weren’t for handshake deals and verbal agreements with owners like RJ Harrington at Embassy, he might have no place to do what he loves. “If there wasn’t an RJ, there’d be nobody else,” Davis said. Concert promotion isn’t always the glorious, multimillion dollar dream people believe it is. “The freedom of being able to do what you want is worth more than a $100,000 per year job to some people. To guys like us, we can listen to what we want and have bands play what we like to and help them out. You can’t ask for too much more,” Harrington, 30, of Scranton said. “Ninety percent of the time, I don’t make anything (from shows). When I do, thank God,” Davis said. “A lot of my money goes back into it. I see it as investing money to keep me sane. “Without these shows, who knows what our lives would be like.”

Cannons roar, bullets rain The call to arms sounded in 1861 and was answered quickly by the people of the northeastern Pennsylvania. More than 2,000 men stepped forward to fight for their country. At the recruiting stations in Scranton and Carbondale the men were placed into units of infantry, cavalry and emergency men. These units were largely organized from one predominant group, such as the Company I 132nd Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, which consisted of the Delaware Lackawanna & Western railroad workers and called the “Railroad Guards”. Another was the 48th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, which was composed mainly of coal miners from this region. The 48th Pennsylvania Volunteers were an unconventional lot for the army, to be sure, but found a way to use their knowledge of everyday life in the heat of battle. On July 28, 1862 at 4:40 a.m., an explosion rocked the Petersburg Confederate camp, opening the ground and swallowing the men. This explosion was the culmination of an idea from the 48th’s Lt. Col. Pleasants, to build a shaft under the Confederate camp to allow the Union men to drive their way into the city. When the idea was posed, it
MINING HISTORY
Instead of using the colored troops that were trained for the mission, members of the 1st Division under the command of Brig. Gen. James Ledlie were substituted. The men of this division were poorly trained and not prepared for the mission. Ledlie did not inform the men of what to expect and when the explosion went off, they were taken by surprise. Rather than going around the crater as the colored troops had been trained to do, they moved into the crater and gave an immediate advantage to the Confederate troops. At the end of the battle, the Union losses exceeded the Confederates leaving the stalemate where it was. Pleasants was praised for his plan and the execution of it, but the Union officers who had bungled up the battle were reprimanded for their costly mistakes. The miners of the area played their part well in a battle that could have been an early turning point in the war. It is history like this that has driven local university students to find more local connections to the Civil War through accessing letters and other personal documents from the genealogy files of the Lackawanna Historical Society. The students from the University of Scranton are part of the Civil War History class taught by Professor Kathryn Meier. Through this project the
SARA STRAIN was thought to be doubted that it would work but given the go-ahead anyway, because the generals believed it would keep the men busy during the long stalemate. The digging commenced and moved steadily along using cracker boxes to remove dirt, wood taken from an old mill to hold up the mine, and an air exchange mechanism to pump fresh air to the workers. On July 17, they reached the Confederate camp. The mine was in a “T” shape 50 feet below the surface and nearly 511 feet long. Once they were given permission to use the mine, they filled it with 8,000 pounds of gun powder and the plan was set into action. The charges were set and the fuse laid, so that the explosion would happen about 3:30 a.m. Due to poor supplies, the fuse burned out and they had to go in to the mine and relight it. When the gun powder went off, it opened a 170 foot long crater which was more than 60 feet wide and 30 feet deep. The explosion killed an estimated 350 Confederate soldiers, and although Pleasants’ plan to enter the Confederate camp was successful, the battle that followed was lost by the Union.

SCRANTON – The Lackawanna County Historical Society celebrated its 125th anniversary last Sunday, March 27, launching a new Web site and holding a gathering to recall the significance of one the county’s oldest cultural institutions. Located at the Catlin House, 232 Monroe Ave., the non-profit society collects, catalogs, and displays local artifacts from as
early as the 1700’s. The museum itself, the former residence of early city financier George H. Catlin and his wife, acts as its own historical exhibit. With laptops and a projection screen presenting the society’s redesigned Web site throughout the home, supporters, volunteers, and trustees were able to see how the society embraces the past and the future. “It raises the bar for us for what we’re going to do next. It’s important because it re-
minds people of our history, not just as an organization, but our shared history, and that we were here very early on to document that history,” said Lackawanna Historical Society Director Mary Ann MoranSavakinus. “It’s the shared history of the county, so everyone is invested in it, whether they’re active members or not.” See SOCIETY, Page 20

hen it came time for Martin Glyer to step into the shoes of one of his childhood heroes, he thankfully didn’t chicken out. He saves that for his stage performances. Taking on the role of Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot in Monty Python’s “Spamalot,” the young actor boldly steps into the armor of the show’s creator, Eric Idle, for its current run.
The Tony Award-winning Broadway musical will gallop into the Scranton Cultural Center, 420 North Washington Ave., April 8 to 10. Raised on Monty Python and Mel Brooks films by his father, Glyer’s sense of humor formed at an early age. So, too, did his love for acting, entertaining his parents’ party guests as a child .
After becoming a professional actor, it was onlynaturalthatthe25-year-oldsouthernCalifornian would leap at the chance to be in “Spamalot,” but as a fan, it also made the audition twice as daunting. “There was definitely added pressure, especially once you’re cast, to have the responsibility of saying these lines, these words, and doing these scenes that everyone knows so well. It’s big pressure, but to be honest, it’s actually a little bit of an honor to be able to bring the show to everyone,” Glyer explained. “Spamalot” is a musical “lovingly ripped off from” the 1975 film “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” the British comedy troupe’s second and most popular movie. Adapted by Idle, one of the Pythons, with frequent Python collaboratorJohnDuPrez,theplayhadasuccessful run on Broadway in 2005.

good science fiction movie will let you forget it’s sci-fi, focusing on characters, their humanity and their quest. It doesn’t matter if they’re hurtling through space or time or in what universe they’re inhabiting. If the movie gets to you, those genre trappings fall by the wayside. That happens with “Source Code,” an adorably preposterous concept that becomes far less important than the compelling journey these characters take and the sympathetic actors who insist, with their performances, that we come along for the ride.

“Hop” is a chip off the old munk — as in chipmunks, “Alvin and the Chipmunks.” Like the Alvin movies, it has critters interacting with real people. The critter in question — a bunny — is all about music, just like the chipmunks And like the last chipmunk picture, about the best one can say for “Hop” is that it adheres to that Hippocratic oath of children’s entertainment — “First, do no harm.”
REVIEW What: “Hop” Starring: James Marsden, Elizabeth Perkins, David Hasselhoff and the voices of Russell Brand, Hugh Laurie and Hank Azaria. Directed by: Tim Hill Running time: 93 minutes Rated: PG for mild rude humor ★ 1/2
Yes, E.B.’s “pellets” are jellybeans. Fred has to help E.B. find his way to Hollywood heavyweight David Hasselhoff. “Hoff Knows Talent,” don’t you know. And E.B. has to help Fred find his purpose, his “destiny.” All well and good. But would it kill a writer or three to find a couple of laughs in all this? You’ve got Hugh Laurie and Russell Brand and you can’t give them a couple dozen zingers to make this thing move along? Why cast the hilarious Elizabeth Perkins and the reliably deadpan Gary Cole (“The Brady Bunch Movie”) if there’s nothing funny for them to do? In the best exchange, Fred worries that the rabbit is in pain and the rabbit worries Fred will drive off and hit something else.
“You want some baby aspirin?” “Oh noooo. SAVE it. You might want to run over a baby later!” Only Hank Azaria, vamping it up as the Head Easter Chick in Charge, a megalomaniac named “Carlos” with an Azarian-Mexican accent, lands consistent laughs. The slapstick is mild-mannered; there’s no romance, not a hint of emotion. The best gag might be the one before the opening credits. The Universal globe logo is shaped like an egg. Director Tim Hill (he helmed the first “Chipmunks” movie, shockingly) is all wrapped up in the “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” scenes — the egg-shaped Easter Bunny sleigh (pulled by chicks) and making sure the rabbit looks at home behind a drum kit. When E.B. jams with The Blind Boys of Alabama, you will believe a rabbit can keep a beat. But even for a kids’ movie in the post-”Yogi Bear / Marmaduke” marketplace, even for a critter comedy where the critter has very big feet, “Hop” stands out as particularly flatfooted.
ARTS
The latest semi-toon from the creators of “Despicable Me” features an adorably animated and lifelike Easter Bunny and a somewhat less animated James Marsden, the hilarious prince from “Enchanted.” The bunny (voiced by Russell Brand) bangs away his days on Easter Island (literally), a rodent wrapped up in his drum kit. “E.B.”wants to be a rock star. But Dad (voiced by Hugh Laurie) isn’t having it. It’s Junior’s turn to take over the family business. “We can’t make any mistakes. The whole WORLD is counting on us,” the father counsels. The kid, growing up in a vast factory where the eggs, chocolate bunnies and candies are made, rebels. He runs away from home to Hollywood. That’s where he runs afoul of Fred O’Hare (get it?), a 30ish slacker still living with mom (Elizabeth Perkins) and dad (Gary Cole). Fred hits the rabbit with his car and takes him in out of guilt. It doesn’t take long for Fred to get over the novelty of this new pest in his life. “So what? So you talk and poop candy.”

Currently, the society has just under 500 members. Moran-Savakinus said the organization’s ability to “stand the test of time” is a result of their dedicated staff and volunteers, as well as the “powerful leadership” of late president, Alan Sweeney, and current president, Michael Gilmartin. “The fact that we’re able to celebrate 125 years is, I think, a reflection of the commitment of the people who have been involved in the Historical Society from the beginning, who had the foresight to create the organization and keep it going in its infancy, and the volunteers, the staff, and the trustees who are involved in more modern times keeping it going,” Gilmartin said. In addition to providing daily tours and research assistance, innovative programming, such as the society’s second annual “You Live Here: You Should Know This!” local history quiz show at the Scranton Cultural Center on April 29 and 30, has also kept the group relevant to the general public. Mayor Chris Doherty and Lackawanna County Commissioner Mike Washo, who mentioned that they were both history majors in college, were in attendance on Sunday to present the Historical Society with proclamations honoring their role in preserving local history. “As we think about 125 years, as we think about this anniversary, as we think about this institution, we can’t help but think

about the fact that this community and this region really played a tremendously important part in the industrialization of America,” Washo said. “We were founded because of a natural resource, coal, and that’s why people came here and why our community grew, yet really now, we are seeing this rebirth through education. Just in the last three years, $200 million has been spent on construction not more than a rock’s throw from here, just at the University of Scranton and the Commonwealth Medical College,” Doherty explained. “There is a second rebirth, and it is towards education. If you look at Scranton and all the other cities in northeast Pennsylvania, we are dramatically different on every level. That goes back to our historical nature, who we are as Scrantonians and people from the Lackawanna Valley. We are unique. Our history is unique.” That unique history, Doherty said, lives on because of the foresight of the city’s founders. “The city was incorporated in 1866, so 20 years later, the leaders of this community decided that we should establish a historical society…It’s incredible the mindset, the forethought, people had at that time.”

Movie rumors simply tortuous trivia INFINITE IMPROBABILITY RICH HOWELLS
“The Hobbit” prequel. I never want to see “Robocop” remade, but if the studio’s going to do it anyway for a quick buck, he would have been a great choice to direct. If Jackson isn’t going to make “The Hobbit,” I couldn’t picture anyone with a better imagination than del Toro. Why must these talented filmmakers torture us so? As my news feed continues to deliver false hope, I feel like I’m being slapped in the face by constant disappointment. “You wanted a good Wolverine movie? Too bad! We hired Uwe Boll!” When you watch a DVD feature about what could have been, you still have a complete film to enjoy. With the internet rumors, you have nothing to show for your frustration but another bit of petty trivia. Maybe these film footnotes are enough to quench my cinematic curiosity. Maybe the facts are just as important to me as the fiction on screen. Nah. Just give me Wolverine in a proper berserker rage. By hook or by crook, Hollywood, you need to make it happen, or make the potential director sign a non-disclosure agreement before negotiations begin. It’ll save us all a lot of heartache.

ne of the demons is wearing what looks like a Darth Maul Halloween mask. And the finale is both a tad too literal and a lot too long and drawn out. But that doesn’t spoil what is, without a doubt, the spookiest and most entertaining horror flick since “Paranormal Activity.” “Insidious” is a haunted house tale in the “Poltergeist” mold — a child in jeopardy, a mother (Rose Byrne) struggling to get her head around what may be happening, a father (Patrick Wilson) in denial. Renai and Josh and their three kids have just moved into a nice, older wooden two-story home that should be out of the reach of a high school science teacher and his stay-at-home REVIEW wife.

She knows something’s up. Josh is oddly tuned-out. The best horror movies get the audience talking back to the screen, and “Insidious” does that, and how. You’ll have to fight the urge to yell “Don’t go in there” or “Something just KICKED your front door in, DON’T turn off the alarm, you idiot!” One can cast a jaundiced eye at Wan and Whannell’s role in the popularization of grim, soul-crushing “torture porn.” But their departure from it is fun and full of jolts.

The downfall of all this “Jeopardy”-ready knowledge, besides severely hampering my dating prospects over the years, is that much of this trivia pertains to projects that either changed dramatically or fell through completely. As many bloggers run their sites as their livelihoods, heavy traffic is essential, and the only way to secure this traffic is to scoop the next guy with exclusives or rumors. As a movie lover, this leads to a lot of heartbreak. In the last few months, “Requiem for a Dream” and “Black Swan” director Darren Aronofsky confirmed his commitment to “The Wolverine,” the next “X-Men” prequel, almost as quickly as he backed out of it. “Pan’s Labyrinth” and “Hellboy” director Guillermo del Toro eagerly detailed his upcoming H.P. Lovecraft adaptation “At the Mountains of Madness,” then delivered the news a month later that he had moved on to greener-lit pastures. Both of these men would have been perfect for these films. After the disappointingly generic “Wolverine” movie in 2009, comic books fans have been waiting for a darker, more faithful version of the hard-edged hero to
tear up the silver screen. Judging by Aronofsky’s penchant for dark, thoughtprovoking imagery, it’s obvious that this wouldn’t have been another big Hollywood cash-grab, but the brutal work of art that fans deserve. He even has a great working relationship with actor Hugh Jackman, who starred in Aronofsky’s underrated “The Fountain,” and he mentioned in interviews that his film would be self-contained, having little to do with the first train wreck. Where was this guy two years ago? Del Toro was even more excited about his project. Lovecraft’s bizarre horror fantasy has never really been successfully adapted to the screen, though many have tried. Del Toro seemed like the right man for the job, having designed fantastic, scary creatures for almost all of his films. Del Toro’s early sketches displayed a nearly dead-on adaptation of the eccentric Lovecraft’s “unspeakable” or “indescribable” horrors. I questioned the casting of Tom Cruise in the movie, but if anything could be more terrifying to audiences than Lovecraftian mythos, it’s Cruise’s pure insanity. These aren’t isolated incidents. Aronofsky was set to remake “Robocop” a year or so ago and del Toro was ready to replace “Lord of the Rings” director Peter Jackson behind the camera for

In life, it’s not healthy to focus on what could or should have been, forgetting the present while lamenting the unalterable past. For the purposes of this column, however, we’re going to have to ignore this sagacious advice. If movie buffs have one weakness, it’s trivia, and one can only gain so much useless knowledge from watching the original “Star Wars” trilogy 1,138 times. That’s where books, documentaries and the like come in, but even they are not enough to satiate their obsessive compulsion for tidbits as beneficial as an 11th toe. The Internet makes the infatuation worse. Along with entire Web sites dedicated to obscure ‘80s horror films and ‘50s sci-fi flicks, there are insane amounts of up-to-the-minute, consistently updated movie blogs ready to deliver the next minutia on films that are still years away from being released. RSS feeds, Twitter, and Facebook only offer up the productivity-killing news even faster, assuring that I probably know more about these movies than the actors who starred in them – a fact I’m occasionally proud of for some reason or another.

RCHBALD – Jack Lyons sat calmly on the bench and sent a steady stream of substitutes to the scorers’ table. Clearly, this was not a regular basketball game. So, it should not have been a surprise when the intense West Scranton coach, with a reputation for a short bench and an insistence on defense first, told his top rebounder and strongest inside presence to take a possession off and not bother with getting back to the defensive end.
Lyons’ instructions left Scranton center Hasiin Dixon alone behind the defense, in position to take in a long pass from West Scranton point guard Tyler Hughes and transform himself from hard-working rebounder to showman. Dixon bounced the ball high off the floor and rose up for an impressive slam dunk that punctuated a team Most Valuable Player performance and the Red’s 83-66 victory over the Blue in Tuesday’s Lackawanna League Boys’ Basketball All-Star Game at Valley View High School. “My teammates were telling me I better catch a dunk before the game’s over,” said Dixon, who had missed on a reverse attempt off a baseline move during the flow of the game. “It was nice to make the crowd go a little wild.” Dixon, who set a school record for rebounds in a season to help Scranton to its Division 1 championship, led all players in points with 14 and rebounds with 16 while also dishing out four assists. Dixon and Tim Fisch from Scranton joined
Hughes and Tim Langan to form four-fifths of the Red starting lineup, which jumped out to a 15-7 lead in the first 4:35 to put the team ahead to stay. “It felt pretty good to play with Tyler and Timmy Langan after the three matchups we had this season,” Dixon said. Valley View’s Jordan Siddons had 10 points and six rebounds and was named MVP for the Blue in the seniors-only game, which is sponsored annually by the Valley View Booster Club. Zach Morano of Abington Heights, who played for the Red team and was one of only four players out of 26 who did not attempt a 3pointer in the game, won the pregame 3-Point Shooting Contest.

Tori Doyle clears the bar for Lakeland during Tuesday’d meet against Valley View.
Staff Reports
Doyle also medaled as a 100-meter hurdler in her freshman season. Kelsey O’Donnell Doyle and Lauren Hoyt were part of state medalwinning relay teams for Abington Heights last year. They combine with 2009 District 2 Class AAA high jump champion Maggie Fruehan and members of last year’s District 2 junior high championship team to keep the Lady Comets in contention. Honesdale, last year’s second-place team, and Valley View, which was 4-2 while still a member of Division 2, are the top threats to the title streak. Distance runner Chandler Karoscik, sprinter Sara Dubravcak, hurdler Jen Nagy and middle distance runner Tori Legg lead the way for Valley View. North Pocono, Scranton Prep, Wallenpaupack, Lake-
land and Delaware Valley complete the division. Western Wayne and Holy Cross, the other unbeaten division champions from a year ago, are now in the same division. Both teams won their Division 2 openers. Holy Cross moved up from Division 3. Scranton, Riverside, Montrose, Dunmore and West Scranton complete the division. Lackawanna Trail had the best record of the teams that return to Division 3 this season. Mark Johnson has taken over for Tom Nasser as head coach of the Lady Lions. Elk Lake may have the edge over Lackawanna Trail as this season’s favorite with the help of contributions from members of its state championship cross country team. Blue Ridge, Mid Valley, Carbondale, Susquehanna and Mountain View are the other teams in the division.
Lakeland. Tony Rodio, Elisha Antunes, Tyler Phillips and Dylan Catapane also have the potential of making a quick impact. Honesdale, last year’s runnerup, and Delaware Valley could be the top challengers. “I think Honesdale could be very good,” Kearney said. “Lionel Wilson is one of the top track and field athletes in District 2 and probably the eastern half of the state.” Defending champion North Pocono returns District 2 Class AAA shot put champion Peter Calderone. ScrantonPrep,Wallenpaupack, Abington Heights and Lakeland complete the division. Holy Cross, which went 5-2 to tie for third in Division 3, has replaced Valley View in Division 2. West Scranton could be a factor after adding Frazon Isaac, who set district junior high records as a sprinter. Riverside went 4-2 last year and could improve. Dunmore was secondtoValleyViewwitha5-1mark. Scranton, Western Wayne and Montrose complete the division. Many of the runners who made Elk Lake the state Class AA cross country champion in the fall make the Warriors a threat to finish on top of Division 3 after sharing the title with Mid Valley last season. Blue Ridge, Carbondale, Lackawanna Trail, Mountain View and Susquehanna are also in the division.
SPORTS
Abington Heights won the last four Lackawanna Track Conference Division 1 titles, but could be seriously tested in its effort to win another after losing athletes who contributed to each of those championships. While the Lady Comets try to win again with a revamped lineup after graduating state champion Jordan Hoyt (200) and multiple state medal-winners Krista Matsko and Brittney Martin, the conference still has three athletes returning who have a history of performing well on the state level. Lackawanna Trail’s Lauren Ellsworth, Riverside’s Vanessa Munley and Lakeland’s Tori Doyle, who have medaled at the last two state meets, lead the list of returning individuals. Ellsworth was fourth in the state in the 400 meters, Munley was fifth in the pole vault and Doyle was eighth in the high jump in Class AA last season.

hard to keep up with her because of her speed.” Symons joins a program with a strong local influence. Of the 14 players on the 2010 roster, four were from Lackawanna County and four were from Luzerne County. The Lady Falcons won five straight late in 2010, including a 1-0 quarterfinal victory over Harcum College, before losing 1-0 to Burlington County Community College in the regional semifinals.

in the second quarter to help the Red open a 46-37 halftime lead and play comfortably in the second half. Valley View’s Elena Stambone, who had seven points in the first five minutes, finished with 11. She was named MVP of the Blue, which featured players from Divisions 2 and 3.

Liz Schultz from Scranton Prep hit consecutive 3-pointers and had eight points in the first four minutes before Christie Bonacci from North Pocono (seven) and Amanda Greene from West Scranton (six) combined for 13 points
SCRANTON – Joel Roberts appeared to be in trouble more than once in the main event. James Cianci admitted that he would have been in trouble if the feature bout that preceded it lasted much longer. Both Roberts and Cianci overcame their difficulties to post wins in the final two bouts of Cage Fight 7, the March 26 Mixed Martial Arts card that drew a full house at the Ice Box Sports Complex. Roberts battled a bloody cut on the right side of his nose that impaired his vision through much of the first round. He spent the early part of the second round being controlled by Scott Heckman while Heckman landed a series of punches to the left side of Roberts’ face. After breaking out of the hold, Roberts still had his back against the cage when he shockingly countered a Heckman charge with an overhand right. The punch sent Heckman reeling across the canvas. Roberts pounced on him and quickly applied the rear naked chokehold that ended the Pennsylvania Cage Fight Series featherweight title bout at 2:12 of the second round. “I was not taking any severe damage,” Roberts said of the early stages of the second round. “It was a matter of staying out of trouble and weathering the storm.” Roberts (9-4) from Slatington turned the bout around quickly to knock off Heckman (8-2)
from Bangor in one of three pro fights that joined 11 amateur bouts on the card. “I did what my corner told me,” Roberts said. “They noticed on his feints that he was dropping his head. “They said, when he comes in like that, come over the top.” Cianci, from Clarks Summit, remained unbeaten through five pro fights when he stopped Bloomsburg’s Patrick Paulo (5-2) at1:55 of the second round, also on a rear naked chokehold tap-out. “He took me to a different stage of the fight that I haven’t been to before,” Cianci said after getting through a hectic, fiveminute first round. “I know what it’s like to be exhausted and go back in there.” Adding to the test for Cianci Saturday was that he dropped down 10 pounds to fight at bantamweight (135 pounds). Martin Wojnarowski of Mayfield won the Cage Fight Series amateur light heavyweight championship with a unanimous decision over Anthony Chicone (3-4) of Philadelphia. Three other Lackawanna County amateurs – Paul McDonough of Archbald, Chad Shay of Scranton and David Ragan of Carbondale – also posted victories. McDonough stopped Mark Mangiardi by guillotine tap-out 19 seconds into the second round. Shay and Ragan won unanimous decisions. Scranton’s Michael Barasse lost by unanimous decision.

High-scoring Mid Valley forward Erika Symons has committed to Lackawanna College to continue her soccer career. Lackawanna coach Dan Berg confirmed the commitment this week. Symons, who received some interest from NCAA Division I recruits, will be able to work toward the possibility of eventually playing on a higher level by joining the growing junior col-
lege program. The Lady Falcons had the best of the five seasons in the program’s history when they went 9-7 and lost a one-goal game in the National Junior College Athletic Association Region 19 semifinals in 2010. Symons piled up 102 goals in her career at Mid Valley, scoring as many as seven in a game. “She’s a game-changer,” Berg said. “She’s very explosive. “She’s one of the better goalscorers I’ve been able to see.

Final spring season for Pocono soccer Staff Reports
J
unior defender Alyssa Hamill leads a group of eight returning starters at North Pocono, the last Lackawanna County school still playing spring girls’ soccer as a member of the restructured Wyoming Valley Conference. Hamill was a first-team division all-star and is one of six returning members of the Lady Trojans who received some type of recognition from the conference’s coaches in their all-star selections.
The strong list of returnees make North Pocono a favorite in Division 2-A with Honesdale expected to provide the strongest threat. Senior midfielders Sarah Wicker and Fjollza Shabani and senior forward Jessica Korshnak were second-team all-stars in Division C, the bottom division of three in the old format. Senior defenders Chelsea Kincel and Corinne Glassman received honorable mention. Juniors Meghan Utter, the goalkeeper, and Michelle Stefanelli, a midfielder, also return to the starting lineup. The WVC got started this week, but North Pocono, which will play at a field at its new high school, was unable to open because of weather and field conditions. The move of Abington Heights and Wallenpaupack to the fall led to a switch to four divisions, 1-A, 1-B, 2-A and 2-B. On the state level, the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association has switched spring girls’ soccer back to one tournament for the final two years before all programs are forced to move to the fall.

SPORTS BRIEFS
Pens possibly best in league The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins (54-20-0-1) have clinched the East Division title and went into Saturday night’s game with a chance to clinch the best record in the entire American Hockey League.
The Penguins, who surpassed the franchise record of 51 wins a week earlier, defeated the Charlotte Checkers, 6-3, Friday night with the help of a goal and two assists from Keven Veilleux. Brad Thiessen picked up the win in goal. Thiessen was recently named first-team AHL all-star goalie. He became the fourth Penguin to receive first-team honors, joining defenseman John Slaney (2000-01), goalie Dany Sabourin (2005-06) and defenseman Micki DuPont (2006-07). After clinching the division title Sunday, the Penguins, who are entering the final week of the regular season, announced that their first two home playoff games will be April 15 and 16.
Lyle to lead junior Knights The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Knights Junior A hockey team have named Justin Lyle as their new head coach. Lyle has spent the past three seasons as associate head coach of the Indiana Ice in the United States Hockey League, the Tier I Junior A league that is the highest level in the country. Lyle will take over the team in the Tier III Junior A Atlantic Junior Hockey League. “This is a great opportunity to grow a great program,” Lyle said on the league Web site. Lyle played Division I hockey at Alaska-Anchorage. His coaching career includes work as an assistant coach with Team USA for the 2010 World Junior A Championships in Canada.
BOYS’ TENNIS Abington Heights and Delaware Valley in Division 1 and Scranton Prep in Division 2 are the first Lackawanna League teams in any sport this season to start out 2-0. Scranton (1-1), North Pocono (1-2) and West Scranton (0-2) are among the seven teams in Division 1. Valley View (1-1) and Mid Valley (0-1) are also part of the five-team Division 2. Dunmore (1-0), Holy Cross (0-0) and Riverside (0-1) make up Division 3. Abington Heights and Scranton Prep were undefeated division champions last season when the league had two divisions. The Comets return threetime district singles champion Josh Palmer from a team that followed up its Lackawanna League Division 1 title by also winning the District 2 Class AAA championship.
Marywood’s D’Achille a picture of excellence The times Diana D’Achille posts in a 5-kilometer run give a quick indication that she could be competing at a higher level if she was not at Marywood University winning a Colonial States Athletic Conference women’s cross country title as a freshman. The six goals she scored in her college lacrosse debut give a fairly strong hint she could play that sport elsewhere as well. Marywood, however, was the place that fit best for D’Achille to do everything she wanted to do. D’Achille was searching for a small Catholic college with her potential majors (she settled on graphic design with a minor in multimedia) that would allow her to continue her cross country and lacrosse careers. She acknowledges that sports – not, a sport – were a big part of that decision process. “I found Marywood late in my college search,” D’Achille said. Both coaches, Kevin Borrelli in cross country and Rob Brooks in lacrosse, succeeded in leaving D’Achille with a positive impression of their feelings about her playing both sports. Some of the Division I and II schools that recruited D’Achille said they were open to the idea, but she knew it was not as accepted on a higher level. “I knew clearly that they would have preferred me to choose one,” said D’Achille, who claimed the first CSAC women’s lacrosse Player of the Week award this spring and is fifth in the conference with 27 goals in seven games. “In the end, I am very happy that I chose a D-III school where I can play both lacrosse and cross country.” After all, choosing just two sports was already tough enough for D’Achille. The Denville, N.J. resident has already left behind a dozen years of travel soccer, a half dozen of flag rugby and some time in youth recreational basketball leagues. A memory D’Achille says she will never forget is play-
KEEPING SCORE TOM ROBINSON ing on a lacrosse team that represented northern New Jersey in a national tournament at Disney World as an eighth-grader. At Morris Knolls, D’Achille was a lacrosse starter as a freshman, beginning a high school career that culminated in a conference individual cross country championship and a Most AllAround Senior Athlete. All along, she played with the Morris Storm club team, traveling to national tournaments. In addition to scoring more than 100 goals as a high school player, she was a U.S. Lacrosse National Tournament Senior All-Star. The help cross country provides in lacrosse season is obvious. What athlete can’t use a boost in endurance to help through tight spots late in a game? But, D’Achille said lacrosse has also helped her in cross country. Learning what she is capable of in a sprint is beneficial, but physical toughness is also a big part of top-level cross country competition, even if others do not see it. “Playing a rougher sport like lacrosse builds a different kind of drive,” D’Achille said. By continuing on in both sports, while landing on the Dean’s List, D’Achille has shown she is more than simply a wellconditioned distance runner. D’Achille is an active, competitive athlete, who can be found in the water as a swim instructor and lifeguard in the summer or on a mountainside snowboarding for fun in the winter. It would have been a shame if her college days had been restricted to just one sport in which to display her abilities. “Although I knew playing two sports would be a big commitment,” D’Achille said, “I could not see myself giving up on a sport that I worked very hard in throughout high school.” At Marywood, she does not have to.

BOYS’ VOLLEYBALL Lackawanna County’s teams all appear to have the potential to contend after combining for 6-1 starts. North Pocono is 2-0 and tied for second out of 17 teams in the Wyoming Valley Conference where Abington Heights is 2-1 and tied for sixth. Lackawanna Trail and Forest City are two of three teams at 1-0 in the seven-team Lackawanna League. Lake-Lehman leads the WVC
at 3-0. Crestwood, Nanticoke and Holy Redeemer are tied with North Pocono. Coughlin is tied with Abington Heights. Western Wayne is the other 1-0 team in the Lackawanna League. Bill Kline has taken over for Chris Summa at North Pocono, which won the last four District 2 Class AA titles and five of the last six. “I expect success from my players as we look to continue on the winning path,” Kline told the Times Leader. Junior outside/middle hitter Dom Verdetto is the top returnee for the Trojans. Senior outside hitter Tim Cummings, junior setter Ryan Rinaldi, junior Jordan Alexander, sophomore libero Russell Lang and senior outside hitter Mart Bartkowski join Verdetto as the likely leaders for the Trojans, who went 14-1 a year ago. Abington Heights senior outside hitter Andrew McLane is regarded as one of the top returning players in the WVC. McLane and senior setter Dan Brazill were two of the three captains last season and will share the role this season. Coach Dan Phillips returns all but one starter from a 12-4 team. Seniors Eric Wasser and Dustin Ganz and junior outside hitter James Connolly also return.

Scarpetta, Princeton look to bounce back ON CAMPUS S
cranton Prep graduate Kate Scarpetta and the Princeton women’s golf are hope to improve on the slow start to the season in the Georgetown Hoya Invitational Monday and Tuesday in Washington, D.C. Princeton competed in the Lady Jaguar Intercollegiate at the Forest Hills Golf Club in Augusta, Ga. Scarpetta, of Moosic, opened with an 80, improved to 78 the second day and finished with a three-over 75 on the final day. That was the best one-day score for the Tigers, who finished tied for 13th. “We were a bit rusty in our first event of the spring,” coach Nicki Cutler said. “We will strive to improve each week and peak for the Ivy League Championships (April 22-23 in Atlantic City).” Scarpetta wrapped up the fall season by finishing 14th in the Turtle Bay Resort Invitational in Kahuku, Hawaii. She totaled 227 which included a 2-underpar 70 in the second round. Scarpetta was a two-time All-State selection and a threetime district invitational champion at Scranton Prep. ARMILLAY PITCHES IN Freshman Jessica Armillay has settled in as one of the top pitcher for the Misericordia softball team. Armillay (Old Forge) was 3-3 in the early going with a 2.92 earned run average. In 36 innings, she gave up 39 hits and 19 runs, 15 earned. She walked 11 and struck out nine. She picked up her first collegiate victory with a 4-0 triumph over Kutztown, giving up just three hits and striking out three. “Jess’ record doesn’t really show how well she has been throwing,” coach Jen Probst said. “As she gains experience, I look for her pitch diversity to grow. She has a ton of poise and confidence on the mound which allows her to be successful in all situations.” Junior Jillian Castaldi and freshman Maggy Horan, both former Scranton High athletes, are outfielders on the squad. “Jill was named one of our captains,” Probst said. “She has worked very hard on her

strength in the off season. Maggy is all heart. Her hitting and catching skills have greatly improved.” The Cougars are 5-7 overall and 2-0 in the Freedom Conference and opened league play by sweeping Eastern 1-0 and 2-1. Castaldi’s home run in the bottom of the seventh won the first game. NEW JOB FOR PODRASKY Tina Podrasky has been a solid performer for two seasons with the Rochester Tech women’s lacrosse team but this season, coach Jeff McGuigan has given the junior from Scranton (Wyoming Seminary) a new assignment. “She has continued to do well offensively, but now she is competing on the draws and has worked hard to free up other offensive players for easy scores,” McGuigan said. “Between feeding, setting picks, defending on the clears she has done a great job for us.” Podrasky has two goals and an assist this season with six ground balls, six draw controls and two caused turnovers. She had 24 goals and six assists her first two seasons with the Tigers. She also entered this season with 17 ground balls, five draw controls and eight caused turnovers. NEARY PLAYING HARD Junior Angus Neary is having another solid season with the Wilkes baseball team. Neary (Riverside) is hitting .289 (11-for-38) with five doubles, a triple and two home runs. He leads the team in RBI with 13 and is second in runs scored with 10. “He’s one of the keys to our season,” coach Joe Folek said. Neary is playing third base and hitting in the middle of the lineup for the Colonels, who opened the season with an 8-4 overall record and 3-0 mark in the Freedom Conference. “He will also come out of the bullpen late in games to help shut the other team down,” Folek said. “I think he’s going

He’s seen action in one game to date. “He can be a very tough lefty who can strike out guys when he’s on his game,” Folek said. “Brandon will compete for innings both as a starter and as a reliever.” BURNS AN ALL-AMERICAN College of New Jersey junior TJ Burns (Abington Heights) earned All-American honors by finishing seventh in the 1-meter dive at the NCAA Division III Swim Championships at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. He finished with 409.30 points. Burns also earned All-American honorable mention after finishing ninth in the 3-meter dive with a total of 498.00. “TJ showed that he will be a major force next season,” coach Brian Bishop said. “More importantly, he proved to himself that he can dive well at this level even after missing a few dives during the prelims on 3-meter and only finishing 12th, more than 20 points behind ninth. During the consolation final, he hit every dive and pulled away from the rest of the consolation finalists, winning
the consys by over 20 points.” The Lions finished 12th in the team standings. Burns is the school record holder in both dives. He earned New Jersey Athletic Conference Diver of the Year honors for the second straight season after winning the 1- meter and finishing third in the 3-meter at the league championships. He earned an at-large berth to the NCAAs. MENTION FOR GIBBONS Hamilton College junior Megan Burns (Abington Heights) earned All-American honorable mention in three events at the NCAA Division III Swim Championships in Knoxville, Tenn. Gibbons finished 13th in the 50 free in 23.83 and 15th in the 100 freestyle in 51.74. She also helped the 400 medley relay team finish 10th. Gibbons also raced with three other relay teams in the meet, the 200 medley finishing 17th and the 200 and 800 free relays finishing 20th. The Continentals finished 20th in the team standings with 46.5 points. IYOOB DOING THE JOB Senior Carissa Iyoob (Valley View) is having a solid season on the mound and at the plate
for the Keystone softball team. Iyoob has a 4-3 record and a 3.14 earned run average for the 6-6 Giants. In 43 innings, she’s given up 39 hits and 20 runs, 15 earned. She’s walked 11 and struck out 47. At the plate, she’s hitting .382 (13-for-44) with four doubles, six RBI and 10 runs scored. She’s six-for-six in stolen bases. “Carissa has really worked hard to get into great pitching shape and it is clearly paying off,” coach Juli Greep said. “She has never really been given the opportunity to pitch and has taken full advantage of the chance to help lead this team in the right direction.” Freshman Stephanie Puckett (Riverside) is also helping the Giants go in the right direction. She’s hitting .400 (12-for-30) with eight RBI and six runs scored. “Stephanie is being used as our DP (designated player) and she is a quality hitter with power who almost always provides a spark to our lineup,” Geep said. Janessa Karwowski (Carbondale) is the team’s starting second baseman. “Janessa is doing a great job leading the middle infield,” Geep said. “She isn’t what you would call a power player but a finesse player who is very consistent.”
