Theres no
crystal ball or
tarot reading
behind this
column.
Call it a
hunch, but
when it takes the mayor four
seconds to form an answer to
one of my questions, theres a
lot more to what he says.
Thats how long it took
Scranton Mayor Chris Doherty
to reply when I asked if more
public safety cuts could be
coming in 2011 to battle the
citys operating deficit - one (in
my opinion) most likely caused
by apparently paying more
than $11 million in 2010 debts
in fiscal year 2011.
The mayor, in my experi-
ence, is rarely derailed from
making his points very clear
about the direction of the city
and his executive duties, so his
silence was off-putting, to say
the least.
It was one of those uncom-
fortable pauses, most likely for
both of us, that said about
three times as much as the five
words that followed.
Nothing is off the table.
My guess, reckless as it may
be, is that if Doherty doesnt
cut 10 more public safety posi-
tions before November, hell
propose at least 15 losses to the
fire and police departments in
his 2012 operating budget.
I doubt hell prove me
wrong.
Starting salaries for fire
fighters and police officers
jump from $40,000 to $58,000
next year, Doherty told me on
July 29 as he was announcing
the elimination of 21 public
safety officials eight and 13,
respectively.
Hes also often indicated
that, as some of the highest
paid employees of the city,
theyre the most vulnerable
public employees we have in
tough economic times.
The ruling that it is a well
settled principle of our Amer-
ican government that Fire and
Police personnel are within the
executive branch gives Doher-
ty the ability to hire and fire as
he pleases with regard to pub-
lic safety.
Couple that with a looming
decision from the Pennsylvania
Supreme Court on the ability
of a financially distressed mu-
nicipality to alter arbitration
awards issued to labor unions
and the city could be bracing
for one heck of a hit. The Su-
preme Court heard those argu-
ments on Nov. 30, 2010, and
has not yet issued a ruling.
Doherty said last week that
he will continue to make deci-
sions to shore up our finances.
I think that spells disaster for
fire and crime victims.
It will take time to see the
results of the most recent ter-
minations in public safety.
After all, cuts were only effec-
tive on Aug. 29.
But its my belief that before
that data can be gathered,
another swift kick will be deliv-
ered.
One big question remains: At
what cost?
Predicting more public safety cuts in 2011

MOOSIC With three games remaining on its

franchise record for lowest attendance for the
fourth consecutive year.
The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees are draw-

national League, hosting just 286,009 fans in 63
games. Only Charlotte drewfewer in 2011.

LLENTOWN Its been
said that if you build it,
they will come.
In the case of the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre Yankees, at least ac-
cording to fans and employees of
the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, if you
rebuild it, they will come back.
The Pigs, which lost their final two
regular season games against the lo-
cal AAAaffiliate of the NewYork Yan-
kees at Coca-Cola Park on Tuesday
and Wednesday 4-1 in 14 innings on
Aug. 30 and 6-2 in nine innings on
Aug. 31attractedanaverageof 9,226
fans to games in Allentown this sea-
son.
Lehigh Valley leads the Interna-
tional League in attendance this year
at 608,925 as of Thursday afternoon.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre is second
fromthe bottomwith 286,009 attend-
ing home games in Moosic.
IronPigs fans and team executives
feel that their state-of-the-art stadium
has been key to attracting and main-
taining a community that was starv-
ing for a local professional sports
team.
Perfect storm
Coca-Cola Parks 360-degree con-
course, allowing fans to walk around
the entire stadiumandvirtually never
miss a pitch, is unique to Minor
League Baseball, according to Iron-
Pigs MediaRelations Manager andra-
dio personality Jon Schaeffer. But it is
part of the planned renovations at
PNC Field in Moosic.
The Lackawanna County Commis-
sioners approvedanarchitectural and
engineeringdesigncontract withPhi-
ladelphia-based firm EwingCole on
Aug. 24. The $40 million renovation
project is set to begin on March 20,
2012, and continue through March 5,
2013, according to a copy of the con-
tract.
Schaeffer and IronPigs General
Manager Kurt Landes see a lot of sim-
ilarities in the renderings of the new
field.
The drawings look a lot like Coca-
Cola Park. Its a great compliment,
Landes saidTuesday. The ballparkis
going to be a huge part of their suc-
cess. Theyre absolutely on the right
track.
But the stadiumis only a part of the
success in the Lehigh Valley.
I think its the result of a perfect
storm of being close to Philadelphia,
being affiliated with the Phillies, and
beinginanarea that was kindof starv-
ingfor it because they didnt have pro-
fessional sports and live entertain-
ment to this scale, Schaeffer noted.
Success also is dependent on the
fan experience.
Its not just for baseball fans,
IronPigs say new PNC Field is crucial

and re-built plank by plank, and
the sunny weather turned into
wind and rain Aug. 28. But the
spirit of the project wasnt
dampened by rain over the
weekend.
Waverly Community House
Executive Director Maria Wil-
son said that when the play-
ground was inspected last, sev-
eral safety hazards were found.
Wood was splintering, and new
safety codes had been put into
effect within the last 20 years.
The new equipment is an up-
dated version with polyvinyl
chloride (PVC) on the deck and
handrails and arsenic-free pres-
sure-treated wood, but the lay-
out remains the same.
Despite the tremendous ef-
fort by volunteers, including
people working on Sunday, the
project was delayed by the hur-
ricane, Wilson said. The pro-
ject will continue this week in
shifts and we hope to have it
completed by the weekend. We
have a core of volunteers led by
co-chairs Chris and Rob Saun-
ders who have been working
aroundthe clocktoget it done.
Waverly Townships road
crew provided tremendous
support for the project, Wilson
said.
A ribbon cutting ceremony
for the project will likely be held
in the next two to three weeks
to honor the all-volunteer ef-
fort.
Waverly Township Supervi-
sor Ron Whitaker said he was
therefor theoriginal buildingof
the playground and recognized
a few other faces in the crowd
during a groundbreaking held
Aug. 24. After the ceremony, he
was found hard at work on a
team pre-drilling new deck
boards for the playground.
People of all ages showed up
to help and many were young
adults in their late teens and
early 20s who remember play-
ing on the playground when
they were children. John Mack-
arey, 20, of Dalton, was helping
stain the new wood.
I always played here when I
was younger, so I came to help
out and brought some friends,
he said.
Sandy Davidock, 44, of Wa-
verly, who was hard at work
with a hammer, said she came
to help because her daughter
plays there.
This is such a big project,
she said. Every bit helps.
As theproject nearedcomple-
tion, and threats of a hurricane
also drew near, volunteers con-
tinuedto showtheir determina-
tion and dedication, working to
11 p.m. Aug. 27 and arriving
again the next morning despite
the wind and rain, according to
Chris Saunders, co-chair of the
project.
Saunders said that as of Mon-
day, Aug. 29, more than 600
people had come to volunteer
time at the playground.

The Richmond Braves moved
intotheir newballpark, The Dia-
mond, in1985 and developed in-
to one of the International
Leagues most successful fran-
chises not long after that.
Richmond hosted the all-star
game, put up impressive num-
bers at the gate and won cham-
pionships on the field in the
early years of The Diamond. Be-
fore long, however, the stadium
that had been regarded as one of
the leagues premier facilities
fell behind newer ballparks and
became a source of debate in-
volving the community and the
parent Atlanta Braves.
Like the Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre Yankees, the Richmond
Braves eventually even lost
home games to drainage prob-
lems that left the field unplay-
able on some sunny days, dis-
couraging the team and fans
alike. The 2004 Braves lost
home dates and even played the
entire Governors Cup Cham-
pionship Series in Buffalo.
With a lease expiring, attend-
ance dwindling and several new
stadium proposals sputtering,
Richmond lost its Triple-A fran-
chise in 2008 when Atlanta
moved the team to Gwinnett
County, Georgia following a fi-
nal lame-duck season in Virgin-
ia.
I was really kind of sur-
prised, said Bruce Baldwin, the
Richmond Braves general man-
ager from1987 throughits Inter-
national League demise. Im a
glass half-full kind of guy. I was
always optimistic wed get this
done.
It wasnt any one thing. Peo-
ple like to categorize it as com-
bative government or ball
team.
Despite the parallel histories
of the Richmond and Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre stadium situa-
tions, bothBaldwinandInterna-
tional League president Randy
Mobley said this week that they
do not expect the local Yankees
Triple-A franchise to leave the
area the way the Braves left
Richmond.
The only similarity is that
youve got a deteriorating stadi-
uminbothplaces, Mobleysaid.
In the case of Richmond, there
was an opportunity to go some-
place else that was building a
brand-new ballpark.
There was a better oppor-
tunity. The difference is there
was not a 30-year lease, Rich-
mond was at the end of the
lease. No one is talking on any
level about relocation.
Instead, Mobley said the IL is
involved in the discussions that
have the Yankees looking for a
temporary home in 2012 before
returning to Lackawanna Coun-
ty in 2013.
Baldwin said re-energizing
the franchise in a remodeled sta-
diumis a matter of commitment
and cooperation from the vari-
ous parties that have an interest
in its success. He said that in-
cludes the community as a
whole, which can benefit with
increased traffic to surrounding
businesses on Montage Moun-
tain by making the stadium a
place to be once again.
Lease limits parallels between
Richmond, Scranton ballparks
IL president: No talks of permanent
relocation of regions AAA franchise.
By TOMROBINSON
For Go Lackawanna
The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Yankees plan to go away for a
year, then return to the area in
2013 when renovations at PNC
Field in Moosic are complete.
The International League
does not exactly have an action
plan for such an event and for
good reason.
Im not aware of it ever hap-
pening, IL president Randy
Mobley said in a telephone in-
terview this week. None of us
have any experience with this.
The league does, however,
have a stake in making sure
whatever planis formulatedfor
the franchise works well for its
other members.
Mobley said he has been and
will continue to be in contact
with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Yankees management, relaying
the collective input of other
league members. He emphasiz-
es that he acts to carry out the
leagues interests, according to
the wishes of representatives of
each team.
By keeping the franchise in-
formed of what others in the
league think, it will be easier to
develop a plan that will be ap-
proved at the league meeting
Sept. 20.
There are most definitely
opinions shared with execu-
tives of the teamright fromthe
start, Mobley said. There is
good communication on that.
Those executives also have in-
put from the Yankees organiza-
tion.
SWB Yankees LLC has to
move along the path of what
works for everyone.
Mobley said that by remain-
ing aware of what works for the
league and the New York Yan-
kees organization, the fran-
chise canworkout plans for the
2012 season that will be accept-
able prior to the league meet-
ing.
Having the team disappear
fromthe area for a year will cre-
ate challenges.
I think there are inconve-
niences that will exist, un-
doubtedly, as a result of what
will happen, Mobley said.
They are not insignificant, but
I think it can be and will be a
springboard to long-term suc-
cess of baseball in the area.
Mobley is hopeful a rebuilt
stadiumwill beonepart of solv-
ing a downward attendance cy-
cle that has struck the Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre franchise
harder than most.
The Yankee affiliation
proved very strong for the first
two years and I dont think that
has changed.
Teams one-year move unique to International League
By TOMROBINSON
For Go Lackawanna
Schaeffer continued. A very
small percentageof our fans are
baseball fans - maybe 15 or 20
percent. Its the other 80 per-
cent that are here for the mas-
cots, fireworks, contests, T-
shirts, affordable food and hos-
pitality areas.
Business partnerships; fan
clubs for women, children and
the elderly; and special events
are key, Landes said.
Giveaways, for us, are part
of the experience. We probably
have a giveaway or an enter-
tainment act or fireworks at ev-
ery single game here, he said.
Temporary loss
Before Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre returns to PNC Field at
the conclusion of this season,
they will spend an entire year
essentially playing road games.
Just where those games will be
played must be determined be-
fore the leagues meeting on
Sept. 20.
According to BaseballAmer-
ica.com, IL President Randy
Mobley said several locations
are under considerationinclud-
ing Triple-A sites Lynx Stadi-
um in Ottawa, Coca-Cola Park
and Rochesters Frontier Field.
The season-long move is with-
out precedence, according to
Mobley.
WouldI be nervous as a gen-
eral manager? Absolutely,
Landes said. There are a lot of
factors facing the franchise
right now that they have to
work through.
Its a one year hiatus, but the
bigger picture is right around
the corner. Theyre going to
have to take a hit for one year
and hopefully minimize that
hit knowingthat, longterm, its
going to be a great scenario,
Landes said.
Baseball fans have hope
Diehard IronPigs fan Jim Ta-
lianek of Allentown has trav-
eled north to see Lehigh Valley
and the local Yankees square
off on the diamond. As a life-
long Philadelphia Phillies fan,
he hadbeentothe former Lack-
awanna County Stadium to
watch the Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre Red Barons, a longtime
AAAaffiliate of the teambefore
a one-year move to Ottawa and
skip to Allentown.
I still think Scrantons got a
nicestadium, but its bigandca-
vernous, Talianek, better
known as Jimmy T to fellow
fans, said.
The in-stadium experience
in Allentown, he said, is very
different.
We have a lot of on-field en-
tertainment. I think Scranton
could use some more of that.
They try, they dotheir best, but
I think that could help, Talia-
nek said.
Plans to add a concourse and
reduce the size of the field are
good starts to making baseball
a more fan-friendly experience
that could boost attendance.
I hope so for their sake, he
saidof thelocal Yankees. They
used to draw up there a lot
when they were a Phillies affil-
iate.
Being an IronPigs fan, both
Talianek and Landes noted,
isnt about wins and losses. In
fact, the Pigs havent had a sea-
son over .500 before 2011s run.
Baseball, to them, is also about
environment.
Theres a big atmosphere
around here, Talianek said. I
dont quite feel it up there (in
Scranton) yet. I feel it, but not
like it is down here.
Its upto the affiliate, as best
as they can, to put a good prod-
uct on the field, Landes said.
But, to the crowds, it doesnt
matter. People are coming to
Minor League Baseball be-
cause of the experience.
A new stadium in the Scran-
ton market could turn the tide.
There are a lot of things that
have to occur to be successful,
but you have to have a facility
that provides the basic ameni-
ties for fans to enjoy them-
selves, Landes said. Without
that proper foundation, youre
goingtohave a problemprovid-
ing entertainment and doing
the other things that lead to
success.

While renovations are still in
the planning stages, Rose said
PNC Fields facelift will include a
concourse that circles the field,
and the outfield will feature a bar
anda kids zone.
The concourses, now closed
andrestrictiveinsize, will bewid-

The ameni-

Its going to
give current
season ticket holders more to do,
more to get excited about, said
Rose. We have a very large stadi-
um. But whenyougotoamorein-
timate setting, you jump on the
number of sellouts.
Coca-ColaPark, thenewlybuilt
home of the Lehigh Valley Iron-
Pigs, serves as the inspiration for
what the Yankees wish to accom-
plish with the renovations. The
Iron Pigs more than double the
Yankees attendance, leading the
IL with an average attendance of
9,226 per game.
Minor league parks have

We now look at places like Le-

toldThe Times Leader inMay.
The Yankees focus, Rose said,
is on the Yankees season- and
package-ticket holders. The rain-

We focus on our season ticket

people who are here game after

dont focus a lot on walk-ups. If
you end up getting rain and you
put all of your efforts into walk-
ups situations, its gone.
The areas other minor league
sports team experienced re-
sounding success with its promo-
tional items. Bobbleheads and
game-won jersey player cards

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins
games to 8,000 and 7,600 per
game, respectively, from its aver-
age of 6,175.

SCRANTON Teachers in the dis-
trict took two opportunities to picket
school board events this week as their
contract expired.
Hundreds of teachers formed a
chain outside Isaac Tripp Elementary
School on Aug. 27 as the district cele-
bratedits newest facility. But Scranton
Federation of Teachers President Ro-
semary Boland said the structure is
noting but a shell.
What are they celebrating? A brick
building? This is not a school. It
doesnt become a school until the cast
gets into that building and makes it a
school. That cast includes theteachers
and the students, and right now the
teachers are outside of it, Boland
said.
She claimed that the school board
has failed to negotiate terms of a con-
tract and has only presented one deal
to teachers and paraprofessionals
which allegedly has not changed since
January.
If we accepted that offer, our mem-
bers would go backwards three years,
shesaid. Theywouldnt beabletopay
their healthcare.
Boland said Scranton is the only
school district in Lackawanna County
where teachers pay for healthbenefits.
District employees pay deductibles,
$10 for office visits, $15 for specialist
visits, and are on a three-tiered pre-
scription plan, she added.
School Board President Bob Lesh
felt the union picket was a bad choice
on their part.
I dont agree with it. This is not
howyounegotiate a contract, he said.
In this environment today where peo-
ple are not working today and people
have no benefits, the public doesnt
want to hear it and theres no sympa-
thy.
Our conclusion always comes
down to the bottom line these guys
right here, Lesh continued, gesturing
to students touring the new facility.
Thats our bottom line.
The current contract expired on
Aug. 31, and negotiations continued
this week.
No contract ratifications were an-
nouncedat the Sept. 1personnel meet-
ing where the district approved vari-
ous new hires. Teachers also picketed
that meeting at the administration
building, 425 N. Washington Ave.,
Scranton.
The school board will hold a work
session on Tuesday, Sept. 6, and a
board meeting on Monday, Sept. 12.
Both meetings are set for 7:30 p.m. at
the administration building.
Union seeks
stronger contract
negotiations
SCRANTON Current and for-
mer school district officials gath-
eredonAug. 27 for a ribboncutting
ceremony for the first newelemen-
tary school built in Scranton in 43
years.
Isaac Tripp Elementary School,
1000 Everett Ave., Scranton, will
welcome its first set of students on
Wednesday, Sept. 7, whenthe 2011-
12 school year begins. The district
closed Lincoln-Jackson and John
Marshall elementary schools at the
end of the 2010-11 school year.
I am thoroughly pleased to be the
principal here and to lead our future gen-
erations to a modern world of education.
The technology and materials added to
this school are over the top. Our children
will have nothing but the best, new
school principal David Brudzinski, for-
mer principal of John Marshall Elemen-
tary School, said.
The building, the first structure built
on a new site since Charles Sumner Ele-
mentary opened in1968, sits on14 acres
that were once anthracite coal mines, ac-
cording to Superintendent William
King.
The completion of Isaac Tripp Ele-
mentary marks the end of a $60 million
capital improvement campaign focused
onthe districts elementary buildings, in-
cluding anexpansionat JohnF. Kennedy
Elementary and a new facility built on
the same site of the previous John Whit-
tier Elementary building.
Today is a glorious day for West
Scranton, especially the Tripp Park com-
munity, School Board Vice President
PatrickOMalley said. Its a great oppor-
tunity for all of the kids in Scranton, and
its a dream, a great dreamthat JohnMar-
shall and Lincoln-Jackson students have
hadfor many years: Astate-of-the-art ele-
mentary school, a beautiful gymnasium,
incredible classrooms andgreat teachers
to go with them.
Former School Director Frank Brazill,
who died in September 2010, was repre-
sented by his wife, Ann Marie. Mr. Bra-
zill served two terms on the Scranton
School Board.
He was dedicated to the community.
It was his passion, Mrs. Brazill said. Its
absolutely wonderful. He would be
proud of this.
Building levels were named after the
nowclosed elementary schools. Lincoln,
the first floor, houses preschool, first and
secondgrades; thesecondfloor, Jackson,
is home to second and third grade class-
rooms; and Marshall, the third floor, is
where fourth- and fifth-grade students
will learn.
Recent Lincoln-Jackson graduate Tho-
mas Morgan, of West Scranton, said he
was impressed with the newest elemen-
tary school in the district.
We had smart boards and a few com-
puters in our classrooms, but Imhonest-
ly amazed by the amount of technology
in here, he said.
Morgans father, Tom, a Scranton fire
fighter, first suggested to the board that
they name the floors of Isaac Tripp after
the closed elementary schools.
I think its gorgeous. I think its a good
thing for the city to do things like this,
Linda Morgan, a North Scranton resi-
dent who recently returned to the area
and Thomas aunt, said of the building.
Toni Davenport, 26, of West Scranton,
said she had trouble convincing her
daughter, Peyton, to leave the building
after Saturdays ceremony. She said the
new facility presents an exciting oppor-
tunity for students.
Shes been waiting all summer to
start, Davenport said of her new pre-
school student.
As a graduate of Lincoln-Jackson and
2003 West Scranton alumnus, Daven-
port said she was surprised with the size
of the elementary school.
It was big when I was little, but this is
gigantic, she said with a laugh.

Santorum seeks support in
Old Forge
Former U.S. Sen. Rick San-
torum met
with some old
friends and
supporters in
the region on
Monday night
to ask for
their help in
his bid for the
Republican nomination for
president.
After spending time cam-
paigning in states with the
earliest primary elections, the
12-term former senator from
Pittsburgh returned to Penn-
sylvania for a meet-and-greet
at the Arcaro & Genell res-
taurant and catering hall.
One of the things we want-
ed to do was just to get back
to Pennsylvania and visit
with some old friends and let
them know what Im up to,
Santorum told the media
before the private reception.
Santorum said he felt like
he needed to run for presi-
dent, but he didnt want to
seek support from his former
constituents until he could
show he had a real shot at
the White House. He felt he
got that affirmation by plac-
ing fourth in the straw poll in
Ames, Iowa.
His advantage over the
other candidates, Santorum
said, is his conservative re-
cord and his accomplish-
ments.
No ones been able to
accomplish in Washington on
national security, on fiscal
issues, on tax issues, on mor-
al cultural issues, no ones
been able to make the ac-
complishments that I have
and comes from a conserva-
tive camp. You look at
their record and theyve nev-
er accomplished anything.
Ive proven that Ive been a
consistent conservative, he
said.
Santorum said Pennsylva-
nia will be an important state
for him politically and fi-
nancially.

Marino: Job growth tops
issues
U.S. Rep. Tom Marino said
Wednesday that sluggish job
growth re-
mains the
most imper-
ative issue
for North-
eastern Penn-
sylvania.
The first
three things
are: jobs, job
jobs, Marino said of his
meeting with his constituents
in the 10th District of Penn-
sylvania. Its very clear.
But Marino, R-Lycoming
Township, said the federal
government has not produced
an atmosphere to create
those jobs. The freshman
congressman outlined his
plan to create jobs by trim-
ming government spending
and streamlining the tax code
in a meeting with The Times
Leaders editorial board
Wednesday.
Congress must look to trim
waste from all areas of gov-
ernment, Marino said.
It doesnt take a rocket
scientist to tell we need to
cut spending, and every sin-
gle one of us, every single
American is going to feel the
pain, Marino said. Every-
thing must be on the table.
Marino said entitlement
programs, specifically Social
Security, Medicare and Med-
icaid, consume 60 percent of
the governments revenue
and must be changed to a
point where we can afford it.
Marino also said he sup-
ports downsizing the govern-
ment in general, much of
which could be achieved
simply by not replacing retir-
ing government employees
when possible.
He also said he supports
eliminating the Department
of Energy and the Depart-
ment of Education.
Marino said he has been
most frustrated in his first
eight months in office by
partisan bickering, and the
worrying about being re-
elected rather than worrying
about getting the country
back on its financial feet
again.
He said he has connected
best with new members of
the House like himself, and
supports term limits of two
6-year terms for senators and
five or six 2-year terms for
representatives.
He added that he does plan
to seek re-election in 2012.

SCRANTON Not even a hurri-
cane could stop dedicated heavy
metal fans from ascending Mon-
tage Mountain on Saturday, Aug.
27 for the Rockstar Energy Uproar
Festival, which offered over nine
hours of hard rock to those willing
to bear the nasty weather.
Second Stage acts Hell or High
Water, Black Tide, Art of Dying,
and Sevendust started an hour ear-
lier than the original 1 p.m. sched-
ule due to the effects of Hurricane
Irene, and thousands of fans trick-
led in the Toyota Pavilion
despite the
consistent rain and steady winds
throughout the day.
Escape the Fate, Bullet For My
Valentine, Seether, Three Days
Grace, and Avenged Sevenfold took
the main stage starting around 4:30
p.m., causing some fans to get
down and dirty in the muddy mosh
pits that continued throughout the
evening.
Ryan Mowery, 26, traveled 90
minutes from Lewisburg to attend
the festival, as he did two years
prior to see the Rockstar Energy
Drink Mayhem Festival to see
some of the same acts.
Black Tide and Sevendust were
worth their weight in gold, Mow-
ery said.
Ed Andrejewski, 24, of Hanover,
came to see Welsh rock-
ers Bullet For
My Valentine, having owned all of
their albums but never witnessing
their live performance. Seeing
Avenged Sevenfold, Seether, and
Three Days Grace were a nice bo-
nus as well, he added, so the
threat of the hurricane never fac-
tored in to his weekend plans.
Weather doesnt stop rock, espe-
cially metal, Andrejewski stated.
Michelle Collins, 17, of Scranton
also wasnt going to miss her favor-
ite band, Three Days Grace, for ve-
ry personal reasons.
Their music speaks to me.
Theyre the band I mostly relate to
more than any other band, and
theres no song of theirs I dont
like, Collins explained.
I figured the show would be fun
either way. I dont really mind get-
ting soaked.
This was only the second stop
for the Uproar Festival, having
kicked off the day before in
Camden, N.J. Mem-
bers of Art of
Dying, there in support of their ma-
jor label debut Vices and Virtues,
said in an interview on their tour
bus after their set that they werent
surprised that fans still showed up
in spite of the weather, but the
Canadians were amazed by how
far-reaching the storm was.
We werent sure exactly what to
expect in terms of how intense the
day was going to be, and then to-
day we were sure of the intensity of
the day, but the rain came and
made it much more intense, guita-
rist Greg Bradley described.
I didnt realize it was going to
come this far. I wasnt expecting
that at all.
The set went great, but when
we hit the end, security had a full-
time job. It was nuts. People were
having a great time, added drum-

Most rock
journalismis
people who
cant write,
interviewing
people who
cant talk, for people who cant
read. Frank Zappa
Well, at least he said
most.
As a reporter who often
writes about rock music, I
should probably take more
offense to that statement than
I actually feel, but I think hes
being fair in spreading the
blame. I dont consider myself
a music journalist, but Ive
interviewed enough musi-
cians to have an opinion on
the matter.
Rock journalism, by todays
standards, ranges fromalbum
and concert reviews to band
interviews to tour diaries, so
chances are there are quite a
fewpeople who cant write
within that mix but feel com-
pelled to try because its what
they love.
I think much of these
scribes mediocrity originates
fromthe fact that many of
themarent exactly passionate
about the music theyre writ-
ing about but they enjoy eat-
ing regularly. The paycheck
dictates the kind of work they
produce but not its quality.
Sound is hard to describe,
so many writers turn to the
musicians to explain their
music, which is where the
next part of Mr. Zappas quote
comes in. Sometimes you get
to work with some really
eloquent answers, while other
times you receive yes or
no answers to questions that
arent as black and white.
Even some of the best musi-
cians in the world have a
tough time detailing what
they do because they dont
have to think about it they
just naturally do it.
Throwin some rock star
egos and humble wallflowers
and youve got your hands full
as an interviewer.
You also have to understand
the music industry to really
appreciate the work that goes
into one simple piece. While
some stories just land in your
e-mail inbox, others require
more time searching for who
you need to talk to set up a
phone interviewthan to ac-
tually conduct it.
Most of the set-up process is
through record labels and
management, who are usually
great to work with. But with
albums selling less and less,
theres not as much money to
go into advertising, which
means labels are practically
shoving band members in
front of cameras and micro-
phones to generate free press.
You sometimes get an en-
thused frontman who wants
to tell the world howhe feels
about everything, and other
times, you get the quiet bas-
sist that just woke up five
minutes ago. Either way,
theyre probably sick of an-
swering the same 20 ques-
tions over and over again, so
its up to you to do your re-
search and try and engage a
complete stranger in a limited
time span.
While talking to rock stars
may seemglamorous, its
almost always through the
phone or e-mail, so its usually
far frompersonal interaction.
This is not to say that I havent
been surprised on numerous
occasions with howfriendly
and generous many have been
with their time, but its all a bit
manufactured in the end. The
main goal is to promote a
concert or a record, not to
give readers an honest take on
an artist and their craft.
In the 2000 Cameron Crowe
filmAlmost Famous, the
main character is young rock
journalist in the1970s who
has scored his first gig for
Rolling Stone magazine trav-
eling with the fictitious band
Stillwater. The musicians
refer to himas The Enemy
until they feel that they can
trust him.
Aside frombeing one of the
best films ever made about
music in general, the movie
recalls a time in rock journal-
ismthat it seems doesnt exist
anymore, as Crowe based the
story on his own real-life
experiences as a teenaged
music writer. Two kinds of
artists who knoweach other
only by reputation are thrown
together to collaborate on a
candid, sincere slice-of-life
story with no cameras, no
time limits, and no bounda-
ries its the kind of stuff you
just dont see in print any-
more.
As the members of Still-
water learn, journalists dont
have to be The Enemy, but
thats only if they treat the
experience right and truly
care about music in the first
place, which, as the moniker
implies, isnt usually the case.
One could argue that without
the power of the printed word,
many musical tales that have
since become legend would
have been lost to time.
Without stories of biting
bats and wild drug binges,
where would some acts be
today?
Thats why I think manage-
ment and record companies
need to think outside the box
and offer more opportunities
to the press like Crowe had.
Publications and their editors
also need to allowtheir writ-
ers to pursue those opportuni-
ties. You could say that the
brand of storytelling is long
gone, but thats all the more
reason to bring it back.
Sparing you a rant on edu-
cation here, Ill simply say this
to address that last part Zappa
mentioned about people who
cant read maybe they
would if writers were willing,
and able, to deliver them
something worth reading. If
people would stop controlling
the stories instead of letting
themunfold, I think wed have
more stories worth telling.
But this is The Enemy
telling you that, so take it with
a grain of salt.

SCRANTON Local film-
maker Jon YonKondy, of West
Pittston, isinthemidst of com-
pleting a Western-style movie
shot in Lackawanna and sur-
rounding counties that he di-
rected, wrote andproduced.
Set in southern Texas, the
film, Martin Bowsfield, cen-
ters around the actions of a
man and his strange weekend
hobby: hunting down and kill-
ingillegal immigrantscrossing
the UnitedStates border.
His world is turned upside
down when he comes across a
beautiful girl and her family.
She falls and is unable to run
away. Bowsfield brings her
back to his home and nurses
her back to health. He begins
fall in love with her, and she
mustdecidehowfarshewillgo
tosave her ownskin.
The crewused unique cam-
era work and extensive loca-
tion scouting to find ways to
portray Texas in the northeast
corner of the state.
We really had to consider
that we werent going to be
able to put in our frames any
tall mountains or any bigtrees
that looked like they werent
goingtobelonginTexas,Yon-
Kondy said. We looked for
wide open fields, pine trees
andsmall youngforests.
Someof thefilms politically
charged topics may close to
home, especially for some in
southern Luzerne County and
Hazleton.
Myfilmdidnt makeajudg-
ment about illegal immigra-
tion or the people against it. It
just took a snapshot, an hon-
est, unflinching snapshot of
the situation and why people
are racist and why they chose
tocomeintotheU.S. illegally,
YonKondysaid.
The film crew shot for five
days at locations in Scranton,
Wilkes-Barre, Gouldsboro,
Mountaintop and Pittston.
YonKondy personally traveled
to NewYork to pick up his ac-
tors, whoweremembersof the
ScreenActors Guild.
Most nights, he got around
two hours of sleep, shot foot-
age for about 13 hours a day,
then drove the actors back to
NewYork.
If I wasnt able to go the ex-
tramile, thefilmwouldnthave
happened, YonKondysaid.
YonKondy moved the shoot
to the regionafter considering
southernCaliforniaafter here-
alized all of the local connec-
tions here he had.
My mom runs a catering
business and a small restau-
rant calledthe Center City Ca-
f in Wilkes-Barre. She was
able to help me with all the ca-
tering, said YonKondy. If we
were to shoot this in Los An-
geles, everybody has their
handout and they want some-
thing from you. Here, youre
goingongoodwill.
Funding was so scarce for
the film, YonKondy said, and
required some public support
through Kickstarter.com.
Mostof thebackingcamefrom
YonKondy taking money from
his school loans at the Univer-
sityof SouthernCaliforniaand
borrowing money from his
grandmother andparents.
They helped me with my
future which is wonderful. I
have a great family, theyre ve-
rysupportive,saidYonKondy.
YonKondy previously
served as assistant director on
the successful local film
Forged.
It was nice to see success
come to that realm around
here. It was a great opportuni-
ty, I learnedalot about produc-
tion and about producing a
film around here, YonKondy
said.
Forged was a very valua-
ble experience. It taught me
about how big you can dream
and keep your production still
inScranton.
YonKondy worked with
25/8 Productions, owned and
operatedbyMarkDennebaum
and Timothy McDermott, for
his current film. Jake Stevens
servedas director of photogra-
phy and Lee Schaffer was the
films other producer.
The young director is al-
ready in pre-production on a
feature film tentatively titled
The Susquehanna and is de-
scribedas The Sandlot with
anedge.

CRANTON Patrons
packed the newHill Sec-
tion location of a busi-
ness that was rooted in Dun-
more for nearly 20 years on
Wednesday, Aug. 31.
Nibbles & Bits owner Mag-
gie Calpinmovedthe business
from 700 S. Blakely St., Dun-
more, to 1427 Ash St., Scran-
ton, on July 31. The business
celebrated its first month at a
new location with a ceremo-
nial ribbon cutting and open
house.
Calpin, 26, of Dunmore, was
recognized in 2010 as Young
Entrepreneur of the Year at
the SAGE Awards presented
by Greater Scranton Chamber
of Commerce. She operated
the Dunmore location for
nearly two years but said she
began considering the move
in June.
Petersburg Corners is so
historic-looking. We fell in
love with it, and I feel at home
here. The other store was very
cozy and charming, but this is
a breezy, charmingstore, Cal-
pin said.
Nibbles &Bits is nowlocat-
ed across the street from an-
other well-established Hill
Section business, Mansours
Market.
We both feed off of each
other. We have the cute little
girls store (The Pink Hippo)
next store and the charming
yarn store (Electric City Yarn
Company), so everyones
building this cute, kitschy cor-
ner. We found our second
home, she said.
Moving a store that had
built a good business reputa-
tion for 20 years in Dunmore
was a bit frightening, Calpin
admits, but so far, people
have really been open about
it.
Visitors Wednesday were
quicktooffer their congratula-
tions to Calpin and her four
employees as they buzzed
around the store, sampling
sweets and sipping compli-
mentary glasses of pear prose-
cco. More than100 patrons at-
tended Wednesdays open
house, and some stayed and
enjoyed the atmosphere until
nearly 8 p.m.
The freshly painted aqua-
tinted walls have been a hit
with new and returning cus-
tomers, and shes already seen
an increase in sales.
My concept of the store
was to have it look like a New
England general store. I want-
ed that Nantucket look with
the beadboard, a lot of fresh
wood and a lot of those colors
with some coziness, she said.
I think we were able to do it.
An intimate courtyard at
the back of the shop was
stocked with several hightop
tables for Wednesdays open
house, and Calpin said it may
be used for future events.

CRANTON Faced
with the task of decid-
ing on a senior project,
Riverside student Rainy
Pritchett, 17, of Taylor, wanted
to gain some life experience.
I really wanted a project
that I could start fromthe be-
ginning and do the behind-
the-scenes work so I would
knowwhat I was getting into
in the art world, the aspir-
ing illustrator and high
school senior said.
So Pritchett reached out to
Lackawanna County Deputy Di-
rector of Arts and Culture Mau-
reen McGuigan and learned of a
project that had been discussed
for several years but never exe-
cuted.
The Electric Art project,
which officially debuted at First
Friday with a scavenger hunt, uti-
lized the talents of 10 high school
students to transform battered
utility boxes into permanent art
installations throughout down-
town Scranton.
The project had been an idea
for some time after McGuigan
learned of a similar initiative in
San Diego, Calif., and it fit per-
fectly with Pritchetts enthusi-
asm and connections in the local
student art community through
Arts Alive and similar programs.
She knew a lot of serious art
students, McGuigan said.
Electric Art is the secondma-
jor public art display in down-
town Scranton, following the in-
stallation of bike racks around
Courthouse Square, McGuigan
said.
I love public art projects be-
cause everybody gets touched by
them. It changes your experience
walking downtown, she said.
But the work wasnt all pretty.
Some participants spent hours
removing flyers, tape, glue, and,
in one case, glass, fromthe utility
boxes before painting could even
begin.
Students developed their own
designs that were approved by
the county and the Main Street
project headed by Scranton To-
morrow. The abstract artworks
are painted in yellow, black, and
muted shades of blue, purple,
red, orange, and green. They are
sealed with clear coats to protect
the integrity of the artwork.
Pritchetts work located at the
intersection of Lackawanna and
North Washington Avenues fea-
tures blended colors and organic
designs, andfellowRiverside stu-
dent Jessica Davis worked
Wednesday and Thursday to
complete an abstract tree with
purple foliage at the corner of
Spruce Street and Wyoming Ave-

Black Tide drummer Steven
Spence said he was also pleased with
the turnout that day.
I think it shows how much people
care about the music, Spence said.
Its awesome.
Fans enjoyed cuts from their new
album, Post Mortem, as a serious
downpour had just begun. He knew,
however, that he couldnt treat this
show any differently than the last.
It doesnt matter what I did last
night, for last nights show or for
yesterday. What matters is today.
People that Im playing for today
didnt see or dont care about what I
did last night, so youve got to give it
your best when youre on the stage
and every day in front of fans, he
said.
Youve got to give them what
they want.

UPROAR
As early as 1972, the National Park
Service was considering the creation a
cultural coal park recognizing the sig-
nificance of the Lackawanna Valleys
anthracite industry in the industri-
alization of the nation.
In 1988, with the development of
Steamtown National Historic Site, the
National Park Service realized that
there was a wealth of supportive re-
sources in the Lackawanna Valley. With
a strong belief in the future of the Lack-
awanna Valley, a community task force
was formed to develop the regions
historic, economic, cultural and natural
resources for heritage, preservation,
education and tourism.
In 1991, the plan for the Lackawanna
Heritage Valley was published to ex-
plain the ideas for the valley with a
provided cost and benefit analysis. In
April of that year, the Lackawanna
Heritage Valley was designated as the
first State Heritage Park in Pennsylva-
nia with the Lackawanna Heritage
Valley Authority (LHVA) as the manag-
ing entity.
In 2000, it was designated as a Na-
tional Heritage Area by the United
States Congress in recognition of the
regions unique contribution to the
American experience.
The Lackawanna Heritage Valley
includes the Lackawanna River wa-
tershed in parts of Lackawanna, Lu-
zerne, Susquehanna, and Wayne coun-
ties. Preserving the rich history of the
Lackawanna Valley has become a cen-
tral tenant of the LHVA. As a result, the
LHVA tells the story of immigrants
who came here to build a new life and
ended up building a new nation
through the development of anthracite
mining, textiles, steel manufacturing,
printing, trolleys, and railroad building.
LHVA is focused on renewal of the
environment, of the economic base,
and of pride and a sense of place.
As part of its mission, the LHVA
supports various environmental orga-
nizations, students, educators, munici-
pal governments, residents, visitors,
and historic and cultural sites - includ-
ing the Lackawanna Historical Society.
The Society participates in the LHVAs
monthly roundtable, which provides
various groups the opportunity to net-
work and collaborate on activities and
projects.
Additionally, the Society receives
financial support for many preservation
and interpretive projects and programs
from the LHVA.
The Lackawanna Historical Society is
proud to celebrate the 20th anniversary
of the Lackawanna Heritage Valley
State and National Heritage Area dur-
ing its 2011 annual dinner on Septem-
ber 14.
To mark this milestone, the Society
is pleased to welcome Monsignor Jo-
seph G. Quinn, vice president for uni-
versity mission and ministry at Ford-
ham University, New York City. Msgr.
Quinn, the founding chairman of LHVA
and former pastor at Scrantons St.
Peters Cathedral and St. Rose of Lima
Church in Carbondale, is our special
guest for this years annual dinner, and
will introduce the world premiere of a
WVIA documentary titled Legacy: The
Story of the Lackawanna Heritage
Valley.
The event is set for Wednesday, Sept.
14, at the Scranton Cultural Center, 420
N. Washington Ave., Scranton. The
evening begins with cocktails at 5:30
p.m. and dinner at 6:15 p.m. with the
documentary screening set for 8 p.m.

Lackawanna Historical Society at (570)

Although the traditional
way to coupon is still very
popular, many companies are
offering a chance to take ad-
vantage of coupons without
picking up a pair of scissors
using smart phones and email.
Not only can you load your
store loyalty cards on your
smart phone, but nowyou can
access store coupons.
Saving Star (www.saving-
star.com) is a great place to
start. SavingStar offers dis-
counts directly loaded onto
the store loyalty card. Howev-
er, rather than getting the
money taken off your bill at
checkout, you receive cash
back. Its like ebates for the
grocery store.
After signing up for this free
service, just select the eCou-
pons you like on the website
or mobile app, and they are
automatically linked to your
store card. Use your card
when you checkout and the
money is added to your Sa-
vingStar account. The savings
get deposited into your ac-
count within seven to 30 days,
depending upon where you
shop.
Another great resource to
connect on the is Target Mo-
bile Coupons (www.tar-
get.com/mobile). This service
allows you to receive text
alerts for daily deals, weekly
ads, and coupons. The cou-
pons are sent directly to your
phone as a text, and you just
scan the smart phone at check-
out.
JCPenney (www.jcpen-
ney.com) also offers a similar
service that can be found on
the main website. Keep in
mind that text messaging
rates apply.
YellowPages
(www.yp.com) also provides a
digital couponing service with
discounts of 50 percent or
more at great restaurants,
shops, services and so much
more. This is a great last min-
ute resource if you are driving
in the car or out shopping.
My favorite is a buy one-get
one for a penny deal at Wet
Seal located in the Mall at
Steamtown. There is also a
daily deal service, which you
can receive a $5 credit just for
signing up. Not a smart phone
owner? No problem. Its still a
good idea to register for some
of these services above using
the Internet. I highly suggest
signing up for store e-mails
and newsletters. By doing this,
many stores will e-mail special
coupons for money off or even
free products.
With the holiday right
around the corner, this is a
great time to start signing up
for these digital services.

Opening Night
of the high school
football season felt
more than a little
bit different for
three Lackawanna
County teams
Friday.
Valley View, Dunmore and West
Scranton each repeated opening
match-ups from a year ago, but
reversed the outcome with Friday
night wins in games involving
state-ranked teams.
The Cougars and Bucks each
opened the season ranked in the
top 10 in the state in their classifi-
cations while the Invaders picked
up a win over a Riverside team that
is ranked after going to the state
championship game in 2010.
All three teams are well aware
that Opening Night does not deter-
mine the whole season. After all,
they shook off first-game losses a
year ago to have varying levels of
success while combining to win 23
games.
Still, things feel quite a bit differ-
ent than a year ago at this time.
Valley View eventually finished
strong and won the Eastern Confer-
ence Class AAA playoffs to wrap up
a 7-5 season. The Cougars, howev-
er, were shaken on Opening Night
when everything that could go
wrong did in a 27-6 loss at East
Stroudsburg North.
The results represented a com-
plete turnaround as the Timber-
wolves produced only a late touch-
down against the Valley View de-
fense to reduce the final margin to
34-9.
The Cougars unveiled another
running option to go along with
Pat Jeffers, who picked up 1,700
yards on the ground a year ago.
Tyler Phillips led the Valley View
ground attack while Jeffers still
played a prominent role in the
comfortable victory by the team
regarded as the best in the county
going into the season.
Dunmore once again is the high-
est-ranked team on the state level,
opening the season ranked second
in Class A, according to rodfrisco-
.com.
Last season, the Bucks began the
season ranked first in all the state
rankings but could not get through
opening night when a last-minute
field goal lifted North Pocono to a
10-8 victory.
This time around, Dunmore
pulled away from North Pocono in
the second half on the way to a
41-21 win.
The Bucks, who ended 2010 by
battling eventual state finalist Riv-
erside in a 22-14 loss in the District
2 championship game, also added a
new option to an already potent
running game.
Austin Seamon led the way, join-
ing Daiquon Buckley, who rushed
for more than 1,000 yards as a
freshman, in creating a new 1-2
punch at tailback for the Bucks.
The runners made the most of a
completely rebuilt offensive line to
get the Dunmore season started in
the right direction.
West Scranton showed its answer
for losing the LFCs most dynamic
player, quarterback Tyler Hughes,
who accounted for 3,726 yards and
44 touchdowns combined running
and passing a year ago.
Dan Repshis took over at quar-
terback, throwing two touchdown
passes and DeVaughn Chollette
became the new workhorse of the
offense from the running back
position.
The Invaders were locked in a
14-7 game in the second quarter
before Chollette ran for a touch-
down, Tyler Rakauskas came up
with an interception and Repshis
hit Louie DiBileo with a touch-
down pass to put West Scranton in
control. Repshis found Dylan
Lindberg for another touchdown in
the second half.
West Scranton fought its way
back to a 9-3 record and heart-
breaking, 28-21 loss to Abington
Heights in the District 2 Class AAA
championship game last season.
Friday night, the Invaders
showed the potential to take a
largely revamped lineup and still
find a way to produce a successful
season.
There is plenty of time still
ahead to determine the ultimate
outcome of the 2011 season, but the
Cougars, Bucks and Invaders are
happy not to have to start search-
ing for a way to bounce back so
early this time around.
Three teams reverse
2010 opening night follies

Yankees fall short of IL title
The streak of consecutive
International League North
Division championships is over
at four for the Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre Yankees and five for the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre fran-
chise.
The division title hopes came
to an end Monday night when
the Pawtucket Red Sox shut out
the Yankees, 2-0, in the second
game of a doubleheader in
Rhode Island.
The Yankees had remained
alive with a 3-0 win in the first
game behind a one-hitter by
Manny Banuelos, who struck
out six and walked two.
Leone leaves Keystone
Jason Leone stepped down as
Keystone College mens basket-
ball coach Monday after the
Giants made trips to the Coloni-
al States Athletic Conference in
all four of his seasons as head
coach.
Keystone went 71-35 under
Leone.
A search is underway for his
replacement.

SPORTS BRIEFS
SCRANTON The
Scranton defense con-
tained an explosive
Wyoming Valley West
offense early in Friday
nights non-league high
school football opener.
The Knights not only
stopped the first four
Spartans possessions,
but they created good
field position three
times.
When the offense was un-
able to convert those op-
portunities, Penn State
recruit Eugene Lewis even-
tually took over to lead the
defending District 2 Class
AAAA champion Spartans
to a 21-7 victory.
I thought our defense
played well enough to win,
Scranton coach Mike Mar-
ichak said. Our offense
needs to get better.
This guy (Lewis) is one
of the best athletes Ive
seen in a long, long time.
We contained him for a lit-
tle while, but hes that
good.
Valley West took advan-
tage of a 72-48 lead in of-
fensive plays and a 33:11-
14:49 lead in time of posses-
sion to get the ball into Le-
wis hands for 46 of those
plays.
Scranton was scoreless
until the games final four
minutes despite starting
drives, Wyoming Valley
Wests 35 and its 47 in the
first half.
Six trips across midfield
failed to result in points un-
til a late 50-yard touchdown
pass from Marlinn Waiters
to Kevin Bagasevich.
Scranton fell short on a
fake punt on fourth-and-sev-
en with 3:33 left in the half.
To that point, the Spar-
tans had six first downs and
85 yards total offense on in
20 minutes. They picked
up 14 first downs and
gained 299 yards in the re-
maining 27 minutes.
Lewis hit four of five pas-
ses for 49 yards to set up
his 8-yard touchdown run
24 seconds before halftime.
Chris Coleman and Kyle
Lewis sacked Waiters for a
six-yard loss on fourth-and-
eight midway through the
third quarter and the Spar-
tans moved 76 yards in
eight plays.
Lewis had runs of 52, 16
and 12 yards to set up his
1-yard touchdown.
Tashawn Bunch carried
six times for 73 yards, in-
cluding a 33-yard touch-
down, in the last Wyoming
Valley West scoring drive.

THROOP Darrell Crawford
cemented his status as one of
District 2s top players Friday
night by opening his senior sea-
son with one of the best per-
formances of his career.
Crawford had a hand in all
five touchdowns running for
two, passing for one and return-
ing both a kickoff and punt
while also intercepting three
passes to lead GAR past Mid
Valley, 34-12,
Hes a great player, GAR
coach Paul Wiedlich Jr. said.
You sawit today. He loves foot-
ball.
Hes going to have to carry
some of these kids while they
get adjusted to playing at the
varsity level.
The defending District 2
Class AA champion Grenadiers
broke the game open with two
touchdowns in the fourth quar-
ter after the Spartans hadclosed
within, 21-12.
Crawford threw for 126 yards
and ran for 125 on 16 carries.
When Mid Valley scored its
first touchdown to move within
13-6 in the first quarter, Craw-
ford returned the ensuing kick-
off 77 yards. He put the game
away for good by returning a
punt 90 yards for a score with
5:33 left and adding a late 30-
yard touchdown run.
GAR had three apparent
touchdowns called back by pe-
nalties, including another Craw-
ford score on an interception re-
turn.
Martin Walsh scored Mid Val-
leys first touchdown on a 2-yard
run 13 seconds into the second
quarter.
Antonio Russo, who ran for
114 yards on 20 carries, added a

second half.
Mid Valley led in first downs,
12-10, but was hurt by commit-
ting four turnovers while GAR
did not lose the ball.
Walsh completed five of 13
passes for 110 yards, including
four completions to Ron Toma-
setti for 109.

OLD FORGE In the after-
math of a hurricane, the Lake-
Lehman Black Knights dealt
with life without electricity.
Friday night, the Old Forge
Blue Devils pulled the plug on
the rest of their power.
Quarterback Colin Carey
twice turned near sacks into
touchdowns as the Blue Dev-
ils darted away from danger
and straight to a 21-7 victory
over Lake-Lehman in a high
school football opener at Vet-
erans Memorial Stadium.
Im happy for the kids, hap-
py for them, happy for Carey,
Old Forge coach Mike Schu-
back said.
Many of the Black Knights
were happy to see the light af-
ter being in the dark since last
weekend when Hurricane
Irene wreaked havoc on the
Back Mountain, toppling
trees, pulling down power
lines and flooding roadways.
It was difficult, Lake-Leh-
man running back Nick Shel-
ley said. No power. We had to
pick up kids a half-hour away.
No one can wash their
clothes.
It was bad.
Lake-Lehman battled Old
Forge to a scoreless tie
through the first half by stop-
ping one deep drive on downs
inside the 10-yard line and re-
covering a fumble to thwart
another.
But ultimately, the Black
Knights could not contain Ca-
rey.
The Old Forge senior made
Lake-Lehman pay for fum-
bling away its first possession
of the second half when he ran
away from two hard-charging
pass rushers and rolled left
all the way to a 19-yard touch-
down run.
Carey then eluded another
tackler in the backfield later
in the third quarter before
slithering to a 48-yard touch-
down run and a 14-0 Old Forge
lead.
Hes a lanky kid, Schu-
back said. Doesnt look like
he can move, but hes down
the field.
He changes the game.
Carey, who ran for 111
yards, certainly altered Lake-
Lehmans victory plans.
Their quarterback did a
hell of a job, Lake-Lehman
coach Gerry Glisky said. Hes
an athlete.
We stopped the play and he
just beat us.
Brian Tomasetti sealed Old
Forges victory with a 31-yard
touchdown burst early in the
fourth quarter, giving the
Blue Devils a 21-0 advantage.
Brady Butler ruined the Old
Forge shutout with an 11-yard
touchdown run with 2:07 re-
maining.
Louis Febbo, who carried15
times, had 111 yards rushing
to match Carey, who ran 13
times. Tomasetti was 14-
for-89 to add to a 346-yard
rushing attack.
Old Forge led in first
downs, 20-11, and total of-
fense, 371-264.

AROUND THE LFC
Hanover Area stopped Sus-
quehanna on a fourth down at

hold on for a 15-12 victory over
the defending LFC Division 3
champion Sabers.
Parrish Bennett ran for both

ley defeated Island Coast, Fla.,
24-14, and Wallenpaupack blast-
ed Honesdale, 47-2.
Western Wayne scored the
games final 28 points to rally for
its victory.
Robbie Siclari carried 23
times for 195 yards and four
touchdowns to lead the Wild-
cats. He ran for 164 yards in the
second half and scored three
touchdowns in the final 5:29 to
complete the comeback for
Western Wayne.
Wyoming Area led, 27-6, after
one quarter and, 34-12, at half-
time.
Siclari scored on a14-yard run
with18 seconds left for Western
Wayne, which had still been be-
hind by two.
Ive never been so happy in
my life, Siclari said.
Brian Maslowski ran for 161
yards and four touchdowns to
lead Nanticoke.

he addition of qual-
ity teams tothe mix
in Division 1 is part
of changes to Lackawanna
League girls soccer and
girls volleyball.
Division 1 soccer teams
faced Abington Heights,
the spring 2010 District 2
Class AAA champion, for
the first time last season
when the Lady Comets
moved to the fall. The divi-
sion adds another cham-
pionship team this season
withthe move of Lakeland,
last seasons Division 3
champion. Lakelands
move allows the old Divi-
sions 2 and 3 to be merged
into one new Division 2.
Abington Heights moves an-
other programfromthe Wyom-
ing Valley Conference. The
girls volleyball teammakes the
move one year after the girls
soccer team and gives the
league reason to split into two
divisions for the first time. The
Lady Comets will compete in
Division 1.
A look at the upcoming sea-
son:
DIVISION1 GIRLS SOCCER
This could be the strongest
division ever produced in Lack-
awanna League girls soccer
with the top four teams all
bringing back veteran lineups
with more than half their start-
ers returning. Three of those
teams won district titles and
two won division champion-
ships.
Weve been doing that the
coaches andthe league trying
to forma league that is compet-
itive with a true Division 1,
Valley View coach Chris Stahl
said. With the addition of La-
keland, I think were there.
The teams in Division 1 are
very competitive. Just a few
years ago, it was not this way.
We had 10-0 games and that
was not fun.
Valley View, the defending
division and District 2 Class
AA champion, gets back Taryn
Tomczyk, who was arguably
the leagues top player before
missing all of her junior season
with a torn anterior cruciate
ligament in her knee.
Shes been working so hard
in the training room, Stahl
said. She has put a lot of effort
into getting ready.
Tomczyk played this sum-
mer with the Pennsylvania
Strikers select team, whichwas
third in the country in Un-
der-18.
Of the 20 varsity-only players
on the roster, the Cougars have
15 seniors, including Tomczyk
and returning starters Kimmy
Eberheart, Jenn Nagy, Mol-
lyAnnMecca, Julia Yanoski, Sa-
ra DubravcakandAmanda Wal-
ter. Eberheart, Nagy and Mec-
ca all return on defense while
Yanoski, DubravcakandWalter
form the forward combination
in front of midfielder Tomczyk.
Last year we hadthree goals
scored on us the whole year (in
league play), Stahl said. That
was due to our outstanding de-
fense.
The defenders return and
sophomore Jess Nygn takes
over as goalkeeper.
Beth Gillow, one of last
years top subs, will be one of
the outside midfielders. Car-
oline Mancuso could be the
other.
AbingtonHeights tiedScran-
ton Prep for second place in its
first season in the league and
went on to win the District 2
Class AAA championship.
Leading scorer Alex Chapman
leads the list of returnees that
includes other multi-year start-
ers in Maggie Scanlon, Emily
Sullivan and Emma Black.
The Lady Comets lost just
defender Christine Colman
from the starting lineup.
Sarah Sopinski, Isabelle
Clauss, Abbey Burke, Katrina
Helcoski, Lexi Thiel and goalie
Melanie Coles also return.
I definitely have great ex-
pectations for this team, said
E.T. Hunter, whoenters his sec-
ond season as head coach.
Practices have been going
well. Now we need to work on
translating it into success in
the games.
Scranton Prep returns most
of the key players from a squad
that handed three-time defend-
ing champion Valley View its
only loss a year ago.
Amanda Vitzakovitch takes
over as the new head coach at
Lakeland, which won the Dis-
trict 2 Class A title and had the
only unbeaten record in the
league while competingina Di-
vision 2-3 crossover schedule.
The Lady Chiefs welcome
back seniors Dana Prudente,
IsabelleStandefer, andHeather
Smith; juniors Mora Hoyle,
Megan Tweedy, and Tia New-
berry, and sophomore Morgan
Sedorovitz.
Western Wayne, Wallenpau-
pack, West ScrantonandScran-
ton complete the division.
DIVISION 2 GIRLS
SOCCER
Mountain View won the Di-
vision 2 title last season, but
could be challenged by one of
its long-time rivals in the old
North Division, Montrose, as

It may have seemed like the
Scranton Prep boys soccer
team got a head start on the
rest of the high school teams
opening their season Friday
when it took part in an 11 a.m.
game at Scranton Memorial
Stadium.
As far as coachSeanCurry is
concerned, however, the head
start for the 2011 Cavaliers
came when the 2010 Scranton
Prep team went on a late-sea-
son run that carried the team
to the District 2 Class AA
championship.
It was a good situation
where we peaked at the right
time and got some guys
healthy at the right time, Cur-
ry said. We had some really
strong underclassmen. If we
were going to make a run at
districts, I thought this would
be the year.
Instead, the Cavaliers will
try to make a run at a second
straight championship this
season.
They got off to an impres-
sive start in an 11-0 rout of
Scranton in a game that was
playedearly inthe day because
of Memorial Stadiums use as a
football site on Friday nights.
Before football, field hockey,
girls volleyball andother boys
soccer teams around the coun-
ty could play their league
openers later in the day, the
Cavaliers were finding goals
from 10 different players in a
comfortable victory.
Brian ODonnell scored two
goals while Mike Burne and
EvanEvanishhada goal andan
assist each in the romp.
The scoring total stands out
from the opener, but it is de-
fense that could be the key to
another successful season that
could include Lackawanna
League Division1 title conten-
tion for Scranton Prep this
time around.
Colin Moretti is regarded as
one of the top returning goal-
keepers in the Lackawanna
League and he has two stand-
out defenders infront of himin
Burne and Mark Monacelli.
Colin is very skilled, very
well-trained, Curry said. He
knows the game well.
He has great hands and hes
good with his feet, too. We like
to play the ball back to him.
Curry said Monacelli and
Burne could be all-stars at any
position on the field. He just
prefers to have them anchor-
ing the defense.
Monacelli returns at center
back while Burne moves to the
defense after playing midfield
last season.
They complement each
other very well, Curry said.
Mark is a pure defender and
Mike is more technical. Hes
very quick.
Jake Pompey was the top
scorer in a balanced attack a
year ago and midfielder Ray
Hassey was a big part of the
late-season surge.
When hes healthy, hes a
very strong player, Curry
said. Over the years, hes bat-
tled some injuries.
Hes a great distributor and
he can score, too.
In another opener, Christian
Henry scored in each half to
give Delaware Valley a 2-0 vic-
tory over North Pocono.
Michael Quinn made 14
saves in the loss.
GIRLS VOLLEYBALL
North Pocono, the last coun-
ty team still playing in the
Wyoming Valley Conference,
got off to an impressive start
Friday in what coach Joanne
Perry is hoping will be a suc-
cessful season.
We have a strong returning
team with eight seniors, Per-
ry told The Times Leader.
They play great together.
If were going to win dis-
tricts, it should be this year.
Returning all-star Kelli Bray
had10 kills Friday to lead a 25-
19, 25-15, 25-18 victory over
Wyoming Valley West.
Nicole Malec added 10 as-
sists while Alyssa Hamill had
13 digs.
Kayla Kishbaugh, Lizzy Li-
fiecki and Malec are the teams
other returning starters.
FIELD HOCKEY
Wallenpaupack defeated
Abington Heights, 2-1, Friday
in a WVC opener that marked
the debut of Abington Heights
coach Erica Suitch.
Suitch is trying to turn
around a program that man-
aged just three wins combined
over the past two seasons and
saw an extreme drop in the
number of the players in the
program during that time.
Jess Mahler scored on an as-
sist from Paige Notarianni to
lift the Lady Comets into a 1-1
tie at halftime.
GOLF
The Lackawanna League
still has seven unbeaten teams
after two weeks of competi-
tion.
Holy Cross, North Pocono
and Abington Heights are 4-0
in the Southern Division while
Scranton Prep is 3-0.
Montrose is 4-0, Honesdale
is 3-0 and Wallenpaupack is 2-
0-1 in the Northern Division.
GIRLS TENNIS
There is just one unbeaten
remaining in each of the three
Lackawanna League divisions.
Scranton Prep has five wins
to lead Division 2, Riverside
has four wins in Division 3 and
Abington Heights has three
wins in Division 1.

It prepares us better for com-

to districts or states, coach
Dempsey said, but the sched-
ule has been shortened. Having
13 matches, instead of 16 is not
beneficial.
We want to be playing more
matches, not less.
Dunmore couldbe challenged
by Abington Heights, which
comes over from the WVC after
reaching the District 2 Class
AAA championship match a
year ago.
Michael Labagh replaces Dan
Phillips as coach of the Lady
Comets.
Theyre hard workers and
theyve know each other a long
time, which is good for team
chemistry, Labagh told The
Abington Journal. Thats im-
portant because teams that
work better together go fur-

ackawanna League
teams find them-
selves in pursuit of
the states top small school
cross country program as
they begin the season.
Elk Lake is the defending
Class AAstate champion in
both boys and girls cross
country and only the sec-
ond school in Pennsylvania
Interscholastic Athletic As-
sociation history to sweep
those titles.
Both Elk Lake teams are also
coming off back-to-back, 22-0
seasons in the Lackawanna
League. The Warriors bring a
61-meet conference winning
streak into the season after suf-
fering their last defeat early in
the 2008 season to Scranton
Prep, which went on to the title.
The Lady Warriors fell to Ho-
nesdale in the 2008 finale and
have won 44 straight.
The Elk Lake boys have won
two of the last three state cham-
pionships.
A capsule look at the league
going into Wednesdays open-
ers:
FORMAT
Every teamin the league runs
against every other.
Each team will have a league
record from those 22 total
meets. An overall champion is
determined along with a Class
AAA and Class AA champion.
DEFENDING CHAMPIONS
Elk Lake won the overall and
Class AA titles in both boys and
girls.
The Valley View boys and
Wallenpaupack girls each went
21-1 to win the leagues Class
AAA titles.
CLUSTER
Running 22 separate league
races of roughly 3.1 miles each
would be exhausting so the
Lackawanna League uses clus-
ter scheduling to get all the
meets in.
There are eight groups or
clusters of teams that travel to
the same sites and compete to-
gether every week. The teams
within a given cluster do not
count their scores against each
other except on September 27
when all possible head-to-head
combinations are scored.
The clusters, which are the
same as last year, are:
1 Abington Heights, North
Pocono, Valley View
2 Honesdale, Western
Wayne, Forest City, Carbondale
3 Montrose, Blue Ridge, Elk
Lake
4 Delaware Valley, Wallen-
paupack
5 Scranton Prep, Holy Cross
6Scranton, West Scranton,
Mid Valley
7 Lakeland, Susquehanna,
Mountain View, Lackawanna
Trail
8 Dunmore, Riverside
HELP FROM FRIENDS
Theclusters createasituation
where certain teams see each
other every week even if they
are not technically competing.
The Scranton Prep and Holy
Cross teams pushed each other
during successful seasons for
each. Scranton Prep was 20-2 in
boys meets and17-5ingirls last
season while Holy Cross was
19-3 and 16-6.
NEW COACHES
Seven teams have new coach-
es.
Jim Griffiths moved from
West Scranton to Scranton.
Rick Bresser replaces Grif-
fiths at West Scranton.
The other new coaches are:
Lisa Paone at Valley View, Lan-
don Gabriel at Carbondale, Sam
Folk at Blue Ridge, Jason Nese
at Mountain View and Beckee
Bachelder at Delaware Valley.
THE FAVORITES
Elk Lake remains a clear fa-
vorite on the girls side where it
won the state title with a lineup
in which all seven runners were
underclassmen.
The Warriors also remain a
slight favorite in a boys race
that is more difficult to pin
down.
Valley View and Scranton
Prep are the co-favorites in
Class AAA boys while Abington
Heights is the Class AAA girls
favorite.
OTHER TEAMS TO WATCH
The Holy Cross and Abington
Heights boys along with Blue
Ridge, Dunmore and, possibly,
North Pocono, Lackawanna
Trail and Wallenpaupack have
strengths.
North Poconos top four dis-
trict finishers in2010 were soph-
omores. Dunmore could benefit
from the addition of runners
from its Class AA junior high
district champions.
The Scranton Prep, Hones-
dale and Wallenpaupack girls,
along with Valley View, Mon-
trose, Holy Cross and Delaware
Valley are possible threats.
TOP INDIVIDUALS
Elk Lake sisters Maria and El-
izabeth Trowbridge finished
sixth and 11th in the state in
Class AA last season.
Luke Jones of Elk Lake won
the leagues only district title,
taking the Class AA boys indi-
vidual championship.
THE TOP10s
Class AAA and AA runners
competed in separate races but
on the same day and the same
course in the District 2 cham-
pionships.
Using the times posted in the
District 2 meet as the measur-
ing stick, the top 10 finishers
among underclassmen expect-
ed to return this season were:
