I
f theres one thing that friends
and family have learned from
Army Spc. Nick Staback, its
to stay positive and determined
even in the face of tragedy.
Thanks to the generosity of the
community, theyll be able
to do just that with ANight
for Nick, a benefit at The
Adventure Zone at the Ice
Box Complex, 3 West Olive
St., Scranton, on Saturday,
April 28, from 5 to 10 p.m.
Proceeds will directly
benefit Staback, who lost
both his legs and injured his
arm while serving in Af-
ghanistan last fall.
The grandson of State
Rep. Edward Staback, Nick
followed in his older broth-
ers footsteps right out of
Valley View High School,
joining the army in 2009 at
the age of 19. He was de-
ployed to Afghanistan in
March of 2011.
He was 2 when I met
him, andI remember he had
a tub full of army guys and
its all he ever played with.
Since he could speak, he
said that he wanted to be an
army sniper. Thats all he ev-
er wantedtobe, Maura Sta-
back, Nicks aunt and orga-
nizer of A Night for Nick, re-
called.
He was always looking for-
ward to it, and once we graduated
high school, we all knew that he
was going to the army, Brandon
Cortazar, Nicks close friend since
the first grade and another orga-
nizer, added.
He always said that he wanted
to help make a difference and ac-
tually feel like hes doing some-
thingfor this country. Wecouldnt
really see him doing any kind of
blue-collar job or anything like
that.
But on Oct. 4, 2011, Staback
was badly wounded by an impro-
vised explosive device, or IED,
leaving his loved ones on the oth-
er side of the world to wonder if
he would make it home alive.
Nick was in a field hospital in
Afghanistan for a period of time
until they stabilized him, and
then they moved him to Germa-
ny, so there was like four days
there where we had a real lack of
communication. We knew the se-
verity of his injuries, but truthful-
ly didnt knowif he would survive
them, Maura Staback explained.
It was a very, very difficult time,
and its still a very emotional time
for his parents as well, just watch-
ing your son go through this.
It was a horrible time for his
mom and his dad, for all of our
family, and I knowthat theyll use
this experience to help others

SCRANTON U.S. Senator
Bob Casey (D) and at least three
United States representatives
have come out in support of the
city seeking a grant fromthe Fed-
eral Emergency Management
Agencythat couldrestoreupto50
firefighter positions, according to
unionrepresentatives.
Casey announced on April 16
that he personally followed up
with his March 26 letter urging
FEMA to award the Staffing for
Adequate Fire &
Emergency Re-
sponse, or SAFER,
grant to Scranton,
calling FEMA Ad-
ministratorWilliam
Craig Fugate and
having a good con-
versation tounder-
scorethegrants im-
portanceinkeeping
residents safe.
These engine
companies are
charged with keep-
ing Scranton resi-
dents safe, Casey
said in an April 16
press release. This
grant will ensure
theyhavethecapac-
ity and manpower
todojust that.
IAFF Local 60 President John
Judge IVsaid on April 17 that the
union contacted Caseys staff
threemonthsagoregardingtheis-
sueandreceivednothingbutpos-
itive feedback. He added that
unionVicePresidentJackGaffney
and Secretary Charles Bartle-
baugh met with Casey in Wash-
ington D.C. weeks ago and the
union has been in constant com-
munication withhis office since.
I was absolutely happy to see
that (Casey)s doing more. I ex-
pected that he was going to, and
hes a man of his word, said
Judge. Judge said U.S. Rep. Lou
Barletta (R-11) and Rep. TomMa-
rino (R-10) have also expressed
support forScrantonsgrant appli-
cation, andU.S. Rep. TimHolden
(D-17) wrote a March 28 letter to
FEMA Assistant Administrator
Elizabeth Harman in strong sup-
port.
(Holden) was one of the origi-
nal drafters of the FEMA SAFER
grant, sohehadsomedefinitepull
with it. As soon as we reached
out to him, he was nothing but a
help, Judge emphasized. He re-
allywas instrumental inthis.
Applying for the grant on Feb.
24, the city laid off eight firefight-
ers last August tosavemoneyand
29more inJanuarytobalance the
2012budget. After a series of fires
throughout the city, including a
March 16 fire on Froude Avenue
that took crews almost twice the
appropriate response time to re-
ach, 12 firefighters were rehired
following union and
public criticism.
Its helped us tre-
mendously. Brow-
nouts are now a little
bitlessthantheywere.
Still, its not perfect,
but it was a stepinthe
rightdirection,Judge
saidof the rehires.
On a personal
front, it wasnicetosee
12 men back to work
that all have families
and were the bread-
winners for their fam-
iliesThesewereindi-
viduals that had 10
years of service to the
city.
City Council Presi-
dent Janet Evans said
during the March 22
council meeting that the cash-
strappedcity wouldpay for the12
restoredpositions withUrbanDe-
velopment Action Grant funds,
contingency funds, and funds set
aside for unemployment, street
salting and snow removal, and
overtime. Nearly $600,000 froma
prescription health care savings
grant will also be used to reim-
burse the budgetaryaccounts.
As noted in Caseys March 26
letter, the city could use the
SAFERgranttorehire32firefight-
ers as well as fill 18 positions re-
ducedthroughattrition.
Due to the economic down-
turn, 32firefightershavebeenlaid
off, three of seven engine compa-
nies are now closed and remain-
ing companies are experiencing

The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Yankees announced Friday,
April 20 that team president
Kristen Rose has resigned.
According to a release, she
wantedtorelocate closer toher
family and has accepted anoth-
er position with Mandalay
Baseball Properties.
The announcement came at
the end of another week in
which only mild progress was
made towardthe completionof
the sale of the Triple-Abaseball
franchise.
As expected, some of the
equipment has been moved in-
to place at PNC Field in Moos-
ic. The stadium will be recon-
structed once the sale is com-
plete with the plan of bringing
the teamhome for the 2013sea-
son. Actual construction work
will not begin, however, until
the sale is complete.
Negotiations have been on-
going for Lackawanna County
to sell the team to SWB Yan-
kees LLC, a joint venture of the
New York Yankees and the
Mandalay, which has been ma-
naging the franchise.
A public hearing and a meet-
ing of the Lackawanna County
Multi-Purpose Stadium Au-
thority will be held before the
sale is completed, but neither
has been scheduled. More

SCRANTON An unfunded
debt ordinance that would au-
thorize$26.6millioninborrow-
ing sent down from the city ad-
ministration was rejected by
City Council during its April 19
meeting, sayingthat it wouldal-
low Mayor Chris Doherty
carte blanche authority to
borrow millions without coun-
cil approval.
In order to pay back 2011
debt, the city was approved to
borrow $9.85 million by Senior
Judge Jerome Cheslock of the
Lackawanna County Court of
Common Pleas on Jan. 27, but
when the legislation was re-
ceived by council last week,
Council Solicitor Boyd Hughes
found the amount to be $26.6
million.
In an April 17 letter to coun-
cil, which Hughes reiterated
during the meeting, the solic-
itor listed 28 issues he had
with the ordinance, including
unclear language and unspeci-
fied costs, and recommended
that the borrowing be reduced
from $26.6 million to $14.52
million plus the underwriting
costs and expenses of the pro-
ject, which must be itemized.
Hughes feels it must be re-
written, as the court had ap-
proved the $9.85 million in bor-
rowing and did not approve
the including of the bond pay-
ments of the Series 2003 Bonds
A, B, C, and D for 2012 and 13,
but they were included. He
found that $12.08 million was
unaccounted for.
If this was approved as writ-
ten, it would be a bond issue of
$14.52 million, and then any
time in the future at the end of
this year, the mayor couldsay, I
want to issue a bond for $5 mil-
lion, he could do it without
coming back to council. He
could go into 2013 and issue an-
other bond, until the $12 mil-
lion was used up without coun-
cil having any idea where that
moneywas goingor what it was
going to be used for, Hughes
explained.
Council did not place the leg-
islation on its agenda for a vote.
Council President Janet Evans
said that much of this could
have been avoided if Hughes
had been able to work with the
administration on the ordi-
nance, but City Controller Ro-
seann Novembrino rejected a
$4,848.25 voucher submitted
by Hughes for professional ser-
vices that Evans felt went be-
yond the call of duty of his reg-
ular salaried work.
Now the process has to be
prolonged for I dont know
what amount of time, and none
of this would have been neces-
sary if we were all working to-
gether on these issues, as we
should be, Evans said.
Inother business, Evans gave
anupdateontheprogress of the
citys Revised Recovery Plan,
which is due April 30.
At the request of the lending
institutions, legislation passed
during a special meeting of
council on Jan. 30 requires
council to work with the mayor
and the citys Act 47 coordina-
tor, the Pennsylvania Economy
League, on a revised plan in or-
der to secure a $11.5 million
2012 Tax Anticipation Note.
The city declared Act 47 dis-
tressedstatus in1992, last revis-
ing its Recovery Plan in 2002.
This is am arduous, time-
consuming task that cannot be
hurried or taken lightly since it
affects the daily lives of all
Scranton taxpayers and resi-
dents and the future of the city
of Scranton, Evans noted.
She stressed that both the
mayor and council cannot
amend the plan once its adopt-
ed, only PEL, and a significant
component is still missing
from it the millions of dollars
indelayedcollective bargaining
awards to the police and fire
unions that was theresult of the
Oct. 2011 Pennsylvania Su-
preme Court decision are still
not includedinthe plan, a situa-
tion she referred to as the ele-
phant in the room.
If theawards shouldamount
to half the citys annual operat-
ingbudget, whichappears tobe
a decent estimate, it is clearly
necessary to include the com-
plete award in the Revised Re-
covery Plan, Evans continued,
adding that PEL should either
include the awards in the plan
or support negotiations to-
wards a settlement with the
unions.

Its time once again to take
a walk, or run, in the moon-
light.
Geisinger-Community
Medical Center will present
the 8th Annual Moonlight
Walk/Run at Nay Aug Park
on Sunday, April 29.
The 5K and 10K walk/run
is a fundraiser for the Chil-
drens Advocacy Center, and
also features a Family Festiv-
al with a number of activities
for children, prizes, live en-
tertainment, food, beverages,
and much more.
Its a good family day, and
the prices are geared toward
families, said Moonlight co-
chair Lou Naro.
Naro explained that the
group tries to keep the prices
low to keep attendance high,
because while this is techni-
cally a fundraiser, those in-
volved are more concerned
with creating an awareness of
the Childrens Advocacy Cen-
ter and what they do.
The center, located at 1710
Mulberry St., Scranton, is a
private, nonprofit organiza-
tion whose mission is to pro-
vide treatment and interven-
tion of child physical and sex-
ual abuse.
The center coordinates a
multidisciplinary team re-
sponse to child abuse and ne-
glect in Lackawanna County
and surrounding counties of
Northeastern Pennsylvania.
It also provides child abuse
prevention education to pro-
fessionals and the communi-
ties served.
They also provide coverage
and consultation with dis-
trict attorneys, law enforce-
ment, child protective servic-
es, child advocates, and trau-
ma counselors 24 hours a day,
seven days a week.

Scranton police filed robbery charg-
es on April 13 against a juvenile for
his alleged role in a November rob-
bery.
The victim, a Chinese food delivery
driver, told police he was assaulted by
two black males in the 400 block of
Taylor Avenue on Nov. 7, and the sus-
pects allegedly stole his cell phone,
money, and the food he was deliver-
ing.
One juvenile suspect interviewed
on April 12 allegedly admitted his role
in the incident during an interview
with police, and he will be charged
through the juvenile court system
with robbery, simple assault, theft by
unlawful taking, and receiving stolen
property, according to a press release.

SCRANTON City police released in-
formation Monday, April 16, concerning
the arrest of two juvenile males in con-
nection with a series of reported strong-
arm robberies over the last three weeks.
All reported victims and suspects are
juveniles and have not been identified by
police.
Investigations began on March 28,
when police were called to a home along
Academy Street. The victimwas alleged-
ly approached by three black males who
stole three packs of cigarettes and a cell
phone from him.
A second alleged victim was robbed
April 6 in the 900 block of South Main
Avenue. The victim told police that he
was approached by two males that asked
him for cigarettes. One of the men then
told him, Run your (expletive) pock-
ets, demanding all of his belongings.
One of the suspects then allegedly dis-
played a handgun concealed in his waist-
band and stated, Howwould you like if I
pull this out? Im not afraid to use it!
The suspects then fled on foot for no
reason.
Later on April 6, at about 7:40 p.m., a
third robbery was reported in the 1300
block of Jackson Street. The alleged vic-
tim told officers he was approached by
four black males who surrounded him
and asked him for $2. Members of the
group patted him down when he said he
didnt have any money and stole his
iPhone.
One suspect, a 17-year-old, allegedly
admitted his involvement in the three
robberies during an interview with
Scranton Det. James Pappas on April 11.
He is charged as a juvenile with robbery,
theft, receiving stolen property, criminal
attempt to commit robbery, and criminal
conspiracy to commit robbery.

he was with a 15-year-old male during
eachrobbery. That teenadmittedhis role
in the robberies during an April 12 inter-
view. He is chargedas a juvenile withone
count of criminal attempt to commit rob-
bery and two counts of criminal conspir-
acy to commit robbery.

TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION GIVES
CANDIDATES THE FLOOR
S
CRANTON - In preparation for the upcoming primary election, the Scran-
ton-Lackawanna County Taxpayers Association held a state representative
candidates forum on Tuesday, April 17 in City Council Chambers with incum-
bent Kevin Murphy (D-113) and two of the three candidates running to repre-
sent District 115, Theresa Kane (R) and Frank Farina (D).
Murphy of Scranton will face Martin Flynn in the Democratic primary on April
24 with no Republican challenger in District 113.
Farina of Jessup will face Blakely Democrat Randy Castellani, who the Tax-
payers Association said could not be reached to participate in the forum,
while Kane of Olyphant runs unopposed in the Republican primary. Kane won
the 2010 Republican primary as a write-in, but lost to incumbent Democrat
Edward Staback in the general election. Staback is not seeking re-election.
The association gave each candidate an opportunity to introduce themselves
and list their qualifications for office. Each candidate was given about 15 min-
utes to speak.
The forum was taped live by Electric City Television and will be rebroadcast
up until the election.

Established in Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania in 1998, the
center was trying to find a
way to raise awareness of the
reality of child abuse and ex-
plain how everyone in the
community could be involved
in its prevention.
There was a very avid vol-
unteer, Marah Yatko, who
went on a Moonlight Run in
California and came back very
inspired by the uniqueness of
the experience. She suggest-
ed it to our board chairman,
Judge (Michael) Barrasse,
and myself, and we said, Run
with it, and that was the be-
ginning of the Moonlight
Walk/Run, said Mary Ann
LaPorta, director of the Chil-
drens Advocacy Center and
president of the Pennsylvania
Chapter of Childrens Advoca-
cy Center.
The center served 843 child
victims last year, with the
greatest degree of maltreat-
ment being sexual abuse. La-
Porta said she feels its impor-
tant for members of the com-
munity to know about those
statistics so they can help do
something about it.
We dont want anyone wor-
ried or scared about the mul-
tiplicity of danger in our com-
munities, but rather to open
their eyes and their ears and
their hearts to the fact that it
takes a village, said LaPorta.
If all of us are part of that vil-
lage, the chance of children
being safe and protected and
having their innocence pre-
served is greater.
Events like the Moonlight
Run/Walk have helped spread
this message by offering a
number of educational mate-
rials at the event.
It definitely makes you
aware as far as education pre-
vention, and I think it also
gives people a chance to see
its not something to be em-
barrassed of or ashamed of.
You dont need to keep quiet.
The support is there for you
to get the help that you need,
said Moonlight co-chair Kelly
Rodney.
That idea of a support sys-
tem being readily available re-
aches more people each year,
as the Moonlight Walk/Run
has grown from hundreds of
participants to thousands
since its inception.
Those involved attribute
the growth in popularity to
the planning committees
dedication to finding new and
different attractions each
year. This year will be no dif-
ferent, as the event welcomes
the Pennsylvania Masonic
Child Identification Program,
a free program that provides
parents and guardians the
means to quickly get vital in-
formation to emergency re-
sponders.
Its a great event. Its a rain
or shine event, and its even
great in the rain. Weve done
it in the rain, weve done it in
90 degree heat, said Rodney.
Prior to the Moonlight
Walk/Run, the Colonnade
will host Cocktails by Moon-
light on Thursday, April 26
from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. The
event will feature live music
and raffles, with proceeds
benefiting the Childrens Ad-
vocacy Center.
Tickets for the event are
priced at $50 and can be pur-
chased in advance by calling
(570) 969-7313.
Registration for the Moon-
light Walk/Run will be taken
prior to or on the day of the
race.
The Family Festival begins
at 3 p.m., the Walk at 5:30
p.m., and the Run at 6 p.m.
The cost is $20 for adults and
$10 for students. Children can
participate for free with the
purchase of one adult ticket.
For more information, or to
inquire about volunteering
for the event, call (570) 969-
7313.

In honor of April being National
Child Abuse Prevention Month,
the Pennsylvania Chapter of the
Childrens Advocacy Center is
asking everyone to take this
pledge:
If I see, hear, suspect or in any
way become aware that a child is
being abused, I will not keep
silent. I will have the courage to
help that child break free of
silence, secrecy and shame that
should never define a childs life.

Mohegan Sun hosting employment expo
than a week ago, a stadium
authority meeting was an-
nounced, but then that was
postponed while both sides
continued review of sales
contracts.
We still havent heard
anything from the Yankees,
Lackawanna County Com-
munications Director Joe
DArienzo said Thursday.
All parties in the sale had
tentatively reached an
agreement which was
placed in writing last week
for each to review and re-
quest any necessary addi-
tions, deletions or substitu-
tions.
The New York Yankees
took a break from the proc-
ess April 13 for the major
league teams home opener.
Work resumed, but was not
completed this week.
Completion of the $14.6-
million sale is included in
the funding of the stadium
reconstruction. The sale al-
so includes a lease agree-
ment for the teamto resume
playing in Moosic after
spending this season on the
road.
The Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre Yankees are using six
different stadiums for
home games this season.
In a team press release on
Friday, April 20 Mandalay
Baseball CEO Art Matin
said the search for Roses re-
placement is beginning im-
mediately.
Rose told the SWB Yan-
kees staff of her decision to
take the position as execu-
tive vice president of Man-
dalay Baseball Properties.
I am grateful to have had
the opportunity to build a
team of talented and com-
mitted professionals that are
second to none, and appre-
ciate the strong relation-
ships we have formed with
our fans and our sponsors,
Rose said, according to the
press release. I remain opti-
mistic about the future of
baseball in Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre, especially
with the reconstructed sta-
dium coming online."
Matin thanked Rose for
her hard work with the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yan-
kees during a time of uncer-
tainty.
We are extremely enthu-
siastic about where the fran-
chise is headed and we look
forward with great anticipa-
tion to having our teamback
for the 2013 season in a sta-
diumthat were confident all
fans will be both excited by
and proud of, Matin said.

when theyre done, but right
now this is their journey, and
their journey is trying to get
their son better.
He actually called his mom
when we were at his house and
he was talking fine and every-
thing. For those few days,
though, it was very scary be-
cause we didnt knowthe extent
of the damages. We didnt know
if he was even going to survive
or where he was, Cortazar said.
Still recuperating at the Wal-
ter Reed National Military Med-
ical Center in Maryland, Sta-
backmayhave tospenda year or
more in recovery, though the
now21-year-old has been able to
visit his hometown of Sturges a
few times since his accident.
Hes determined, and he has
been from the very first day of
his accident, to learn how to
walk again. I just keep saying his
strength and determination
have completely helped himnot
only survive steppingonanIED,
but he has accepted the life hes
living now - even though it
wasnt the life he planned - with
such grace that its incredible to
me, Maura Staback said.
He also severely shattered
his hip in the accident, so they
had to plate his hip. Its a big
challenge for him to get up on
those legs every day and try to
walk and endure the pain that it
takes, but he does it. Hes incred-
ible.
Using prosthetic limbs to help
him walk, Stabacks bravery,
Cortazar emphasized, has not
only kept him going, but has
kept his familyandfriends going
as well, who have been with him
every single step of the way.
Words cant even describe
what type of guy he is. People re-
member him. Hes a very strong-
hearted guy. Hes tough, strong,
loving, caring I cant even say
one thing bad about him. Hes
just an absolutely amazing guy.
Hes very courageous, Cortazar
commented.
Its motivating to anyone to
see the type of stuff that hes go-
ing through now, howhe can re-
cover so fast and have such a
strong mind through all of this.
Staback has also inspired
complete strangers with his sto-
ry.
Maura Staback said that since
they started putting the fun-
draiser together in January, lo-
cals have come out of the wood-
work to help, with Lamar Ad-
vertising donating billboard
space; food sent from the Mid
Valley, Clarks Summit, and as
far away as Lake Ariel; and over
100 baskets and large raffle
items provided by various sup-
porters and businesses.
The community has been in-
credible. I cant say enough
about how touched we are by
peoples kindness. Its been un-
believable. You experience
these things in life, you hate to
say, when something horrible
happens, but still, its amazing
how much peoples kindness
gives you strength to get
through it, she continued.
The $25 tickets, which can be
purchased at the door, will in-
clude food, beverages, and en-
tertainment, with music provid-
ed by Hillbilly Deluxe, The Jef-
frey James Band, and Q-Balls. T-
shirts and wristbands will be
sold at the event and at Smilers
Grill & Bar, 600 Main St., Dick-
son City, where advance tickets
can also be purchased and dona-
tions are being collected.
We want him to have a com-
fortable life when he comes
back. The house hes living in
isnt suitable at the moment, so
our goal is to raise enough mon-
ey to either build him a new
house or fix his house up so its
handicap accessible.He also
has to buy a vehicle thats hand-
icap accessible. Our goal is just
to give back to himwhat he gave
to us and our country, Cortazar
said.
I think the big thing is to re-
spect what people do for this
country. I dont think people re-
alize howmuch they go through
to make sure people here sleep
safe. I respect him every single
day because I know most peo-
ple, includingme, dont have the
courage to do what he did In-
juries like that and even death
can happen every day, and he
went over there knowing that
that could happen to him.
He noted that Staback is al-
ready thinking about his future
when he arrives home, hoping
to still work with weapons or a
private contractor that supports
the military so that he can con-
tinue to serve his country.
To take a circumstance like
that andchange it intoa positive
thing hes nowjust working on
that goal of becoming what he
wants to be, no matter what. He
wont let anything get in his
way, Cortazar said.
He just feels like this is what
he has to do, Maura Staback
agreed. Hes going to walk
again, and thats all that he fo-
cuses on.
Our goal is to just to give back to him
what he gave to us and our country.

HONOR ROLL
OMalley attends
University of Scranton
dinner
In March,
Riverside
High School
junior Ryan
E. OMalley
attended the
annual
World Lan-
guage Teacher Assistant talk
and dinner along with his
German teacher, Heather
Mahon. The event was host-
ed by the University of
Scranton world languages
department and funded by a
University of Scranton di-
versity grant. Teacher assist-
ants and Fulbright scholars
from Argentina, Taiwan,
France, and Japan spoke
about their respective coun-
tries.
OMalley particularly en-
joyed learning about Argenti-
na and thought the presenter
was most interesting and
engaging.
Other students who at-
tended were David Sweet-
man and Shawn Soroka.
Boini takes first place in
essay contest
Abington Christian Acade-
my eighth grade student and
Clarks Summit resident Maa-
nasa Boini won first place in
the seventh through ninth
grade division of the Wom-
ens History essay contest
sponsored by the Lackawan-
na County League of Wom-
en Voters and the Jane Ko-
pas Womens Center of the
University of Scranton.
Boinis submission ex-
plored the accomplishments
of former Supreme Court
Justice Sandra Day OCon-
nor and was based on the
contests theme: "Womens
Education - Womens Empo-
werment, Recognizing the
Pioneering Leadership of
Women and Their Impact
on the Diverse Areas of
Education."
Boinis essay traced
OConnors rise to the posi-
tion of the first woman
appointed to the U.S. Su-
preme Court and praised
the former justice for
"breaking new ground in
the field of law."
Boini said what she ad-
mires most about Justice
OConnor is that she
"proved that a woman can
be articulate, powerful, and
influential without sacri-
ficing her identity as a
woman."
"I think that women want
to accomplish great goals as
women," said Boini. "They
dont want to have to lose
their femininity in order to
be successful--to have to cut
off their hair, to have to
stop wearing jewelry, and to
have to adopt male manne-
risms."
Boini herself aspires to a
career in law.

can find something you love to
do and get paid for doing it.
If youre really lucky you re-
ceive awards for it too, whichis a
possibility for two teachers in
Lackawanna County.
This week, the Pennsylvania
Department of Education an-
nounced the 39 teachers who
have been selected as semifinal-
ists for Pennsylvanias 2013
Teacher of the Year
award. Among those se-
lected were Riverside
High School and East
Elementary School
teachers Michael Koles-
sar and Joy Tigue.
Were very pleased,
but were not sur-
prised, said Riverside
Superintendent David
Woods. Theyre two
top notch teachers, and
theyre indicative of the
larger faculty we have
here in the Riverside
School District.
According to a press
release from PDE,
teachers were nominated by stu-
dents, parents, colleagues, and
members of the community.
Semifinalists were then selected
by a committee of the National
State Teachers of the Year Penn-
sylvania Chapter, with guidance
from the Department of Educa-
tion.
Now in her sixth year in the
Riverside School District, fifth-
gradeteacherTiguewasnominat-
ed by East Elementary School
Principal Scott Pentasuglio.
Shes a highly motivated edu-
cator in the classroom, said
Pentasuglio. She consistently
challenges her students to think
critically and become problem
solversIve seen her do won-
ders with her students.
Tigue said she has had a de-
sire to become a teacher since
she was in second grade, and
shes thrilled with her career
choice.
I love the job. Its so reward-
ing seeing the kids faces when
they reach that aha moment,
(like) when they pass a test and
they didnt think they could. Its
those aha moments that make
you love the job, said Tigue.
Now in his 11th year at River-
side, SAT math prep and calcu-
lus teacher Kolessar was origi-
nally planning on becoming an
engineer. He started having sec-
ond thoughts his junior year of
college, and decided to try
teaching. Along the way, he was
lucky enough to find two teach-
ers to guide him in the right di-
rection.
I didnt think I had the pa-
tience (for teaching). I
didnt even think I
wanted to deal with
that many students,
and the gentleman in
charge of student teach-
ing, his nameis Michael
Beky, he and my coop-
erating teacher, Geor-
gia Jenkins, molded me
into what I am, said
Kolessar.
After graduating
from college, Kolessar
was unable to even get
aninterviewfor a teach-
ing position. He said he
was tempted to take an
engineering job he was
offered, until his then girlfriend,
now wife, Catherine Kolessar,
stepped in.
She said, Well youre going
to turn it down. And I said,
Why? Its terrific money. and
she said, You are a teacher, and
thats it, there is no other thing
for you. Because, when I was
student teaching, she saw that I
was getting this passion for
watching kids learn.
While they bothtookdifferent
routes, both Kolessar and Tigue
share the same passion for their
profession and a similar point of
view when it comes to reaching
out to their students.
Ive had the pleasure to work
with both of them. They both
have that drive for teaching and
push their kids beyond their po-
tential, and theyre well liked by
the student body, said Pentasu-
glio.
The Department of Education
will announce the12 finalists for
Pennsylvanias 2013 Teacher of
the Year award in early May, but
both Tigue and Kolessar said its
beenanhonor just to get this far.

people in this country, at the
time, were just as unaware as
shewas.

credits to the short film Kony
2012, created by Invisible Chil-
dren to bring attention to the
StopKony movement.
Im completely floored with

As of March, the film had re-
ceived over 80 million views on
YouTube, giving the Stop Ko-

tion.
While other groups also con-

Personally, I think its a pret-
tygoodthing. Ifitattractsalotof

Rich, Ph.D., associate professor
of history at Marywood Univer-
sity.
Rich is an Amnesty Interna-
tional USA Country Specialist
onCentralAfricanissues. Heex-
plained that Amnesty Interna-
tional has been pushing for
more people in the United
States to encourage the United
States government to support
efforts to bring an end to the
conflict withtheLRA.
Amnesty International is not
connected with Invisible Chil-
dren or any of their campaigns.
They have also not released a
formal statement on whether
they are for or against Invisible
Children, but Rich feels its im-
portant for those taking part to
understandall thefacts.
If people want to get in-
volved in these kinds of events,

The City of Scranton has its
share of structures designed by
famous architects. There is the
Scranton Cultural Center, the
work of Raymond Hood who
also designed Rockefeller Center
in NewYork City, and the for-
mer Scranton family estate
which was designed by Russell
Sturgis, famous for Farnham
Hall at Yale University.
What many residents dont
knowis that Scranton has an
outdoor space designed by the
man responsible for NewYorks
Central Park, the White House
grounds, and the Biltmore Es-
tate, Frederick LawOlmsted.
The current grounds of the
Albright Memorial Library was
designed by Olmsted, who is
widely regarded as the father of
modern landscape architecture,
but 99 years separated Olmsteds
design fromits complete real-
ization.
In1893, when the Albright
Building was constructed,
Olmsted was hired to drawup a
plan for the grounds on the
northern, eastern, and southern
sides of the building. The origi-
nal garden plan called for almost
1,800 shrubs, perennials and
trees and was contained on half
an acre of land. Plants included
scarlet honeysuckle, azaleas,
Japanese honeysuckle, periwin-
kle, and rose of Sharon. The
garden was completed in1895.
However, the garden lan-
guished due to several factors. In
the1920s, the south garden was
eliminated due to the building of
the Masonic Temple, which
shaded the once sunny area. By
the1950s, the east garden had
been paved over for a parking
area. The remaining green areas
bore little resemblance to Olmst-
eds original plan. As time
passed, the Olmsted garden
faded frommemory.
The story continued in1992.
According to an article publish-
ed in the April 2001issue of
Atlantic Monthly, the Lackawan-
na Architectural Heritage Asso-
ciation, while preparing for the
centenary of the building, came
upon a single rendering of the
original garden and its plantings.
The next piece of the puzzle
fell into place when Jack Finner-
ty, director of the Albright Me-
morial Library, discovered a bill
fromOlmsteds firmshowing
payment for the plants, confirm-
ing that the garden was imple-
mented.
The library received a $28,000
urban forestry grant fromthe
U.S. Forestry Service and was
able to proceed. The library
worked with Thomas J. McLane
Associates to restore the garden,
which was no easy task.
One of the biggest challenges
was identifying the plants on the
list, as they were written in
Latin and the terminology was
not always clear. Some of the
plants were no longer easily
available and others are now
considered noxious weeds. In
these cases, some substitutions
had to be made. The project was
completed in time for the spring
of 2001.
Visitors to the Albright Me-
morial Library during the grow-
ing season will find the grounds
much as Olmsted intended.
Plants are used in an asym-
metrical way, as Olmsted es-
chewed classic landscapes
where orderly shapes and
straight lines were the norm.
He is famous for incorporat-
ing large open spaces ringed by
greenery, which is evidenced on
the buildings north grounds,
near the entrance, where rhodo-
dendrons, mountain laurel, bog
rosemary, and creeping mahonia
are disbursed between plantings
of azaleas.
On the eastern side, what was
once a parking lot nowcontains
American redbud, Meidiland
roses, and Japanese snowbell
viburnum.
While projects that restore
great old buildings to their for-
mer grandeur receive attention
and praise, the grounds of the
Albright Memorial Library are,
in their own quiet way, one of
the citys greatest lost and found
treasures. Even now, well ahead
of the prime growing season, it
is worth a visit as the red bud is
beginning to bloom.

M
others Day is
just around the
corner, and
sometimes it can become
very expensive. Although
its important for all
moms to feel special, that
doesnt mean that you
need to go overboard
with spending. There are
some great ways to save
money and personalize
your gifts to make every
mom in your life feel spe-
cial.
Its a good idea to plan
ahead when buying gifts for a
holiday. I have mentioned in
the past that people laugh
when they see my stockpile. I
tend to stock up on gifts for
birthdays, anniversaries,
weddings, showers, babies,
and of course, holidays.
For a holiday like Mothers
Day the first thought that
comes to mind for gifts is
something personal, starting
with the card.
Treat.com is currently
offering customers one free
greeting card by using the
code FREETREAT. Shut-
terfly.com is also offering a
free personalized card using
the coupon code CARD4U at
the checkout.
Shipping is not included,
but this beats having to pay
full price for a Mothers Day
card and this can actually be
made into a gift. If you arent
into online shopping, espe-
cially for greeting cards,
cvs.com/coupons are offering
two printable coupons for
greeting cards. Get $2 off
three American Greeting
cards, or $3 off your total
shopping trip, when you buy
three Hallmark Cards at CVS.
One of my favorite ideas for
a Mothers Day gift is to cre-
ate a 5x7 photo card with one
of the free deals above, and
buy a 5x7 picture frame at the
Dollar Store that the card can
be placed in after opening.
This way, the card is actually
part of the gift and it costs
under $2. Grandmothers and
moms will love the keepsake
and can change the picture
with a new card each year.
A great idea for purchasing
all types of gifts for holidays
is buying them half off.
With the growth of daily
deal sites in the past year, we
now have more options to
find deals. Spas and salons,
restaurants, and even retail
stores have jumped at the
chance to offer customers a
discount with half priced
vouchers.
Local sites like The Times-
Leader (NEPA Daily Deals)
has been offering discounts
on restaurants, gym member-
ships, sports events, and so
much more.
When you purchase a
voucher, it usually is emailed
to you within 24 hours and
stays in your account until it
is used.
Usually youll have between
three to 12 months to use the
voucher, and its usually treat-
ed just like cash. To use the
voucher, print it out and
bring it with you to the store.
This is a great way to give
gifts without breaking the
bank. You can sign up for
NEPA Daily Deals at www.ne-
padailydeals.com.
Although we are seeing
more local deals, the national
deal sites are probably the
most popular. Keep your eyes
open for deals that feature
photo books, personalized
clothing, jewelry, or gift bas-
kets.
All that will make great
personalized Mothers Day
Gifts. My favorite national
daily deal sites include Plum-
district.com, Eversave.com,
Mamasource.com and Living-
Social.com.
Plan ahead this year and
shop on a budget for personal
and inexpensive Mothers
Day gifts.

CRANTON Swinging fromhis trust-
edwebafter leapingoff of aManhattan
skyscraper, howfar would Spider-Man
knock a villain like The Vulture from his
perch?
The comic-themedquestionwas one of sev-
eral answered by students taking place in the
Kane Competition, an annual physics contest
at the University of Scranton that puts high
school students knowledge of the science of
matter and motion to the test.
Dr. Declan Mulhall, coordinator of the
Kane Competition and associate professor in
the universitys physics and engineering de-
partment, joked that pairing superhuman
strength with distance and force was a match
made in Asgard.
Its kind of geeky, and one thing the geeks
like is physics and superheroes, Mulhall said
with a laugh.
One hundred forty-five students filled the
Byron Recreation Center for the five-hour
event on Thursday, April 19, beginning with a
written quiz and culminating with a game
showevent inthe newLoyola Science Center.
In between, students that made up the 20
teams from13 area schools worked to demys-
tify some of the greatest rivalries in comic
book history using speed, mass, and distance
instead of gamma radiation or alien abilities.
This year, word problems included how
close Thor would have to stand to Loki in or-

der to strike him with his short-
handled war hammer, Mjolnir,
or what combination of tele-
scopic lenses Batman would
have to use to decode The Rid-
dlers message from across the
Byron Centers gymnasium.
As a final challenge, students
had to calculate the best way to
use a massive swinging pendu-
lumto release survivors in Res-
onant Evil, a twist on the sur-
vival zombie horror video game
and movie franchise, Resident
Evil.
West Scranton resident Mike
Trischetta, a University of
Scranton junior, participated in
the event as a senior at Scranton
Prep in 2009.
I did it for fun, but I ended up
really liking it, he said.
That experience, coupled
with some courses at the univer-
sity, led himinto his physics ma-
jor and, inevitably, a role helping
students on Thursday. The su-
perhero theme helped make
physics a little more interesting.
It gets everyone engaged and
shows that its not just an ab-
stract thing. Its in the real
world, and you can apply it to
different things, Trischetta
said.
Or in the not-so-real world, as
Wyoming Area senior Paul Min-
nelli pointed out.
Superhero physics is ridicu-
lous sometimes and unrealistic,
but theoretically, it still applies,
Minnelli said.
It takes away the monotony
of physics, added Scranton
High School senior Zachary
Holden. Yourealittlekidthink-
ing about superheroes, and now
youcansay, I canfigure out how
high Thor throws his hammer.
Holden and other students
from Scranton High School had
extra pressure to fend off their
physics foes. Theschool wonthe
team competition in 2011, and
they returned the championship
trophy on Thursday morning.
I carried it in, and I want to
carry it out, said senior Maura
McGowan.
Alas, Wyoming Area proved
to be Scrantons kryptonite as
they placed first and third in the
team competition. Scranton
High did take home the second
place team award and a second
place individual award for se-
nior Danny Clark.
Wyoming Area student Tre-
vor Alder earned the first place
individual award, and Josh
Smithof DelawareValleyearned
the individual third place prize.

If comedian-
turned-indie-
film-director
Bobcat Goldth-
waits new
movie, God
Bless Amer-
ica, was classic English theatre,
it might instead be entitled The
Importance of Being Nice.
But its not. Its classic Amer-
ican wish fulfillment, an over-
the-top, violent dark comedy
that tells you its OK to solve
your problems, or in this case
the countrys problems, with big
guns and witty one-liners. In this
case, I happen to wholeheartedly
agree.
Im not a violent man, nor do I
condone real-life violence, but
give me a good, bloody action
movie and Im left drooling and
cheering for two hours, at least
during the flicks that are fully
aware of their schlocky fun.
God Bless America is not only
conscious of what its doing,
which some critics have labeled
leftist snuff, but its delightfully
good at it because its satiric
target also happens to be an easy
one.
Frank, played perfectly by Joel
Murray, Bill Murrays younger
brother, cant stand his noisy
neighbors, loses his job, hated by
his ex-wife and their bratty child,
and finds out he has a brain
tumor. He is about to kill himself
when he decides that his suicidal
tendency would be much better
put to use as a homicidal in-
clination after watching a little
too much reality TV.
The marks of his killing spree
a rich, spoiled teenager; a
nasty, ratings-grabbing pundit; a
bigoted, hateful church group;
talentless talent show hosts all
share one thing in common,
besides being incredibly annoy-
ing; they are all just plain mean.
In a world that is already cruel
enough, Frank can no longer
deal with people like this, and
seriously, neither can the rest of
us.
This is why hes soon joined
by Roxy, a like-minded, so really
quite disturbed, young girl
played by Tara Lynne Barr who
is sick and tired of these atten-
tion-hungry idiots as well. She
has much more to live for than
Frank, but she kills with just as
much gusto, so if you think you
know what the outcome is going
to be for these two psychopaths,
youre probably right.
But its not where the movie
goes; its how it gets there. From
start to finish, the dialogue
serves as more of a stand-up
comedy rant than a proper story-
telling narrative, but thats not a
criticism. This really makes it all
the more funny, and when you
find yourself agreeing with many
of their points, you start to view
their massacre in a more sympa-
thetic light. At one time or an-
other, every one of us has want-
ed to put our hands through the
screen and strangle a reality star,
but Frank is the one actually
doing it, and hes certainly doing
it with style.
When Frank says that he only
wants to kill people who de-
serve to die, hes usually re-
ferring to people who just annoy
him, but it does make you think
about the influence these people
have on the overall general pub-
lic. What does it say about us
that weve let it get this way, that
we allow young kids to national-
ly humiliate themselves on
American Idol so that we can
berate them, that we watch
teenage girls rip apart their
parents because they didnt get
the right car on their sixteenth
birthday, that we listen to intol-
erant political rhetoric from
morally ambiguous talking
heads? Why have we rewarded
shallow, obnoxious people like
this with millions of dollars and
skyrocketing ratings while the
little guy goes unnoticed and
unappreciated?
There are a few slaying that
are done more for laughs, like
the guy who unapologetically
takes up two parking spaces, but
its really hard to feel sorry for
any of the victims, which, in
turn, makes our anti-heroes
more likeable.
Both actors have great chem-
istry and are clearly having a
blast in their respective roles,
staying within conventions but
also poking fun at others in-
stead of falling in love despite
their drastic age difference, as
youd have in most films of this
kind, Frank lectures Roxy about
how wrong it is to lust after a
girl young enough to be your
daughter, emphasizing that adult
males should shoot higher
than little kids when choosing a
mate. If I could have hugged
Murray for stating this, I would
have.
Many people may be sur-
prised to learn that this movie
was written and directed by
Goldthwait, probably best
known for his recurring role as
Zed in the Police Academy
movies, but he actually rein-
vented his career years ago as an
indie filmmaker with movies like
Sleeping Dogs Lie and
Worlds Greatest Dad. Even his
on-stage material is much darker
now, and as he makes the press
rounds to promote this latest
film, I find myself enjoying his
humor more and more, which
either makes me just as cynical
or just as much a George Carlin
fan.
The film may be deeply ca-
thartic for its intended audience,
whether we bloodthirsty Amer-
icans want admit it or not, but it
seems its creator is making no
apologies for putting a bullet in
the head of mediocrity:
Its a violent movie thats
asking for kindness. And thats
why when people go, What are
you going to do if people copy-
catted this movie? Id [say,] I
dont want them to kill. But if
people actually took the message
away, that would be pretty rad,
Bobcat recently told HitFix.
From the gruesome opening
scene to the final showdown,
God Bless America is the first
really offensive, controversial
film of the year, and its about
time. Any piece of art that stirs
things up and gets people talk-
ing is important and worth
supporting in my book, and as
we gear up for the summer
blockbuster season, let us not
forget that smaller budgets do
not necessarily mean less enter-
tainment value. It certainly
doesnt mean less to discuss, so
check it out on demand now and
in select theaters on May 11.
And if you disagree with
Goldthwaits premise, thats
great, though you may want to
reconsider who youre sticking
up for; it probably says a lot
more about you than it does
about him.
I dont foresee anyone picking
up a gun because of this movie,
but I do predict a few boats
being rocked and a few tops
being blown. If so, then rampage
accomplished.

Offering stick-on tattoos for
kids and altering the entertain-
ment, the six artists of the shop
wantedfamiliestofeel evenmore
welcome this year.
Weve changed things up a lit-
tle bit. We got rid of the bands
this year and were doing jug-
glers, magicians, and stuff like
that, said Wodock .
Were making it more family-
oriented. Evenif youreolder, you
still like magicians and stuff like
that. Its still cool.
While some may not consider
getting inked a family affair, Wo-
dock begs to differ.
Just intheshop, wevehadsis-
ters, mothers, daughters. Fam-
ilies come in and hang out with
their kids, andkids hangout with
their parents all the time when
theyre getting tattooed. It is a
family event. A lot of people get
tattoos together that symbolize
something to them, so its defi-
nitely a family experience, or it
has become that anyway, he em-
phasized.
Plus a lot of people dont have
babysitters or cant find babysit-
ters and we still want themto be
able to bring their kids and keep
the kids entertained as well.
In addition to Juggler Robert
Smith and Magician Phil Cross-
on, the convention will be host-
ingtattoo, hula hoop, andpieeat-
ingcontests; raffles; andart dem-
onstrations. After parties with
live music are being held on Fri-
day at The Keys, 244 Penn Ave.,
with The Invisible Swordsmen
and on Saturday at The Bog, 341
AdamsAve., withTheCoal Town
Rounders.
Evenif youre not intotattoos,
therere other things to do.
Theres an art gallery where they
can look at artwork. Theres an
art fusion canvas we set up and
stretch a canvas and the artists,
or even if the attendees want to,
paint. Theres live painting going
onall weekend. Therere eight lo-
cal vendors that are selling non-
tattoo-orientedproducts,helist-
ed.
The convention will also be
providing maps to locally-owned
shops downtownsothat other in-
dependent businesses can bene-
fit from the influx of attendees.
For those already in-the-know,
its a chance to visit tattoo shops
without leaving the comfort of
their hometown.
There are tattooers that are
coming to Scranton so that these
people can get tattooed by them,
so maybe they find somebody
that theywouldnt haveanoppor-
tunity to get tattooed by other-
wise. They dont have to travel to
Utahor SouthCarolinaitsright
in their own backyard, Wodock
noted.
Its a good weekend.

Old Forges status as a Dis-
trict 2 Class A contender in
baseball is a given after five
straight district titles.
The Blue Devils spent this
week establishing that, despite
a young lineup, they also re-
main as one of the top threats
to two-time defending cham-
pion Valley View in the Lacka-
wanna League Division 2 race.
Old Forge, which has fin-
ished second behind Valley
View in both of those seasons,
temporarily moved into a tie
for the lead this week before
falling back a game.
The Blue Devils rallied for a
7-6 win Monday, April 16, end-
ing Valley Views 16-game divi-
sion winning streak and hand-
ing the Cougars their second
division loss in 33 games.
We talked about it and in
the three days leading up to the
game, we practiced real well,
Old Forge coach Tony DiMat-
tia said. In order for us to be a
contender, we have to beat Val-
ley View.
I think we opened some
eyes.
The Blue Devils tied the
game on a Valley View error in
the bottom of the sixth and
won it on another in the sev-
enth after getting the first two
men on base and getting a well-
placed bunt from Anthony
Trotta.
While sophomore Steve
Mascaro was driving in three
runs and Trotta was driving in
two, Dave Chromey was finish-
ing up strong on the mound.
He threw a bit more pitches
than I would like, said DiMat-
tia, who has been experiment-
ing with an extended warm-up
for Chromey, who consistently
seems to get stronger as the
game wears on. It was real
hot.

ley View, in Division 2, are the only 6-0
teams.
Valley View extended its division
winning streak to 33 games by rolling
over Old Forge, 8-1, and Riverside, 10-0.
BOYS TRACK
Mid Valley knocked off defending
champion Elk Lake, 79-71, Thursday,
April 19, for sole possession of the Divi-
sion 3 lead.
Elk Lake shared the title with Mid
Valley in 2009 and 2010 before taking it
outright last season. Mid Valley was the
champion in 2008.
Scranton emerged as the Division 2
leader despite having to settle for a tie
in its first-place showdown with Holy
Cross. The Crusaders then lost to Mon-
trose, leaving Scranton in first at 3-0-1.
The Division 1 lead is
down from a three-way tie
to a two-way tie after Val-
ley View defeated Scran-
ton Prep Monday. Valley
View and North Pocono
are tied for first.
GIRLS TRACK
Abington Heights de-
feated Lakeland, 90-60,
Monday, April 16, in a
meeting between the last
two Division 1 unbeatens.
The five-time defending
Lady Comets also beat Val-
ley View to extend their
winning streak to 36
straight meets.
Abington Heights swept
the relays against Lake-
land, but coach Frank Pas-
setti also pointed to the 25-2 advantage
in the three distance races and a 16-2
scoring edge in the shot and discus as
keys to the victory.
Erin Jaeger won the 800 and was on
the 1600 relay team.
Lauren Hoyt was on the 400 and1600
relay teams.
Balance helped carry the Lady Come-
ts.
Tessa Barrett (1600), Taylor Ross
(3200), Alex Chapman (shot put) and
Chloe Shook (discus) had individual
wins and nine other girls were in on re-
lay wins.
COACHING
Mid Valleys Frank Pazzaglia and De-
laware Valleys Keith Olsommer have
been selected to coach in the August 1
Dream Game at Scranton Memorial
Stadium.
Pazzaglia, the County coach, was 4-1
in the all-star game for graduated high
school football players during his time
as Valley View coach.
Olsommer is a former North Pocono
and Penn State player.
Old Forge graduate Andrew Bennie
has been named as the next boys bas-
ketball coach at Riverside.
Chromey did his most efficient work
in the seventh inning when he struck
out two and retired the side on just
eight pitches.
His ball moves a lot and he can
throw three pitches for strikes, DiMat-
tia said.
The Blue Devils moved into a tie for
first place, but dropped back out three
days later when they were on the other
end of one of the top pitching perform-
ances of the season.
Mid Valleys Nick Demian threw a
three-hitter and piled up 13 strikeouts
in a 9-1 win over an Old
Forge team that prides itself
on avoiding the strikeouts.
Hes definitely the best
weve seen all year, DiMat-
tia said. He moves the ball
in and out.
He was on the black all
day.
The week started with
Valley View alone in first
place. It ended with the
Cougars tied with Dunmore
at 5-1 while Old Forge and
Mid Valley were tied for
third.
Scranton Preps baseball
team and Lackawanna
Trails softball team joined
the Old Forge baseball
squad in helping jumble
Lackawanna League races
this week by knocking undefeated
teams out of sole possession of first
place.
The Abington Heights girls and Mid
Valley boys provided some clarity to
Lackawanna Track Conference races
with wins in battles between unbeaten
teams.
MORE BASEBALL
North Pocono averaged 14 runs per
game in its 5-0 start before being han-
dled by Scranton Prep, 12-1, Wednes-
day, April 18.
The Trojans are nowtied for the Divi-
sion 1 lead with Scranton at 5-1.
North Pocono is at Scranton Tues-
day, April 24 to decide the division lead
at the halfway point in the season.
Valley View came back strong from
its only loss to shut out Riverside, 10-0,
on a no-hitter by John Kranick.
Montrose is the leagues last unbea-
ten. The Meteors are 6-0 in Division 3.
SOFTBALL
Lackawanna Trail knocked off Mon-
trose, 10-8, Monday, April 16, and end-
ed the week in a first-place tie with the
Lady Meteors at 5-1.
North Pocono, in Division 1, and Val-
Andrew Nelson brings home the win in
the 4x8 for Holy Cross.

Thousands of
runners took
Boston Athletic
Association offi-
cials up on their
offer and passed
on this years
Boston Marathon in exchange for
automatic entry into next years
race.
With temperatures climbing into
the 80s on an April morning in
Boston, the marathon added new
complications to what is already a
daunting physical challenge.
Anthony Cerminaro did what he
always seems to do. He kept run-
ning.
The 75-year-old from Jermyn
resident already had viewed this
years marathon as an opportunity.
He moved into a new age group this
year.
Cerminaro had won age group
titles twice before, including once
when he arrived in a new group at
age 60 and again as a 63-year-old.
I thought when I hit 75 and hit
this age group, it might be time for
me to win one again, Cerminaro
said.
It certainly was not time to take a
break from the heat.
I trained for three months,
Cerminaro said. In that temper-
ature, it all went out the window.
As marathon officials suggested
for all runners, Cerminaro slowed
his planned pace.
I thought all Ive got to do is run
half decent, finish and Ill have a
shot at winning, said Cerminaro,
who won his age group in all 16
Steamtown Marathons.
Cerminaro adjusted his plan, ran
the first three miles at an 8-minute-
mile pace, then adjusted some more
and slowed down for the heat.
When he was finished, after run-
ning 26.2 miles in 4:01:50, Cermina-
ro was still in the top half of the
field as a whole. He was in 8983rd
place out of 22,535 starters and
21,603 finishers in Mondays race.
He was first among 29 male fin-
ishers ages 75-79 to claim his third
age group championship in Boston.
I never saw so many wheelchairs
and guys on the ground, Cermina-
ro said.
Cerminaro said fear of injury is
not something that typically enters
his mind on race day. But he knew
extra caution was necessary on this
day. When he read winner Wesley

county to finish, landing in the
top 1,000 by beating more than
95 percent of the field.
Gaughan led female runners
from the county. She was
2427th overall and 256th out of
8,966 women who finished the
race.
Two days later, Cerminaro
was finishing a short break from
running. An interview about his
running plans had to wait until
Cerminaro completed his day
on the softball field, umpiring a
high school game.
Cerminaro, who ran the Two
Rivers Marathon in Lackawaxen
last month, said he plans to run
another in Stroudsburg next
month. Fresh off his latest win,
Cerminaro has more titles to
pursue in a new age group.
Korirs comments in newspa-
pers following the race, they
reminded Cerminaro of his own
concerns.
I thought about it in this
race, he said. If I go out too
hard it was like (Korir) said, I
thought about my wife and
kids.
I thought that I dont want
to end up in a hospital.
Nearly 2,000 runners needed
medical attention on the hottest
Boston Marathon day in 36
years. More than 100, including
a member of Cerminaros trav-
eling party, made visits to hospi-
tals after the race.
All Cerminaro did was finish
first in his age group.
After three miles, I said
thats still too fast, Cerminaro
said. At 15 miles, you hit some
hills in Newton and Wesley.
Then Heartbreak (Hill) can tear
you up.
I took water at every break.
Usually I squeeze the cup while
Im running and get what I get,
but I stopped and got the whole
cup this time.
I tried to play it smart, even
if it took a little off my time.

The Northeast Pennsylvania Miners
have begun preparation for the 2012 foot-
ball season, on and off the field, seeking
the right mix to be more successful in
both areas.
Dan LaMagna, who served as head
coach of the team for four of its first five
years, has stepped aside to concentrate
on promoting and managing the fran-
chise.
Gary Haase, an assistant with the team
in2009, is the newheadcoachafter going
16-5 in two years running the NewJersey
Stags.
Haase brings with him contacts that
help the team spread its recruiting reach
through the Poconos into northern New
Jersey, adding more players who per-
formed on the Division I and II levels in
college.
The outside talent helps supplement a
roster, which gathers about half of its
players from the area.
Two offseason tryouts gave the Miners
a chance tolookat more than100players.
Of the 70-plus still being considered
when practice opened two weeks ago, 60
are expected to be on the roster when the
team begins play at Scranton Memorial
Stadium. After originally announcing a
schedule to open the first weekend in
June in the new Elite Football Associ-
ation (EFA), LaMagna said in a Friday e-
mail that the Miners will be returning to
the Regional American Football League.
The Miners were members of the
RAFL, which begins play July 7, in the
2008 and 2009 seasons.
The team has already been practicing
at Connell Park in Scranton while the
start of the season and the league were
being changed.
One of the most challenging things on
this level is getting together with teams
that are stable for the long term, LaMag-
na said.
The EFA had presented the possibility
of meeting LaMagnas goal of having a
season that was complete before high
school, college and the NFL.
Haase will be responsible for leading
the team on the field.
A potential boost in the talent base
should help that process.
We had some tremendous talent at
the Miners two combines, Haase saidin
a press release on the teams Web site. I
was very impressed with the players that
wewereabletobringinfromDivisionI to
D-III All-Americans.
The product that the NPEA Miners
will put on the field this season will be
second to none.
Following the combines, the team an-
nounced the addition of several players,
including David Castillo, Ray Wagner,
Jeff Case, Marc Best, Justin Gannon,
Jared Manzer, Chris Infante, Beau Reed
and Nick DelGrosso.
Castillo, Wagner and Case all played at
East Stroudsburg University.
Castillo was a Pennsylvania State Ath-
letic Conference first-team, all-star cor-
nerback and four-year starter.
Wagner was a second-team, all-star
quarterback when he ranked sixth in the
nationinpassingyards amongDivisionII
players at 293.3 per game. In his only sea-
son as a starter, he was the only quarter-
back in the country to have two games of

Case was a second-team, all-
star defensive end.
Best was a four-year letter-
men as a running back at
Bloomsburg.
Gannon was a four-year start-
er on the Division I level at the
University of Albany. The two-
time Northeast Conference all-
star finished his career with
2,859 all-purpose yards. He was
the leading rusher for Haases
Stags team last season.
Manzer was a Little All-Amer-
ican and the ECAC Division III
Offensive Player of the Year at
Alfred State University where
he played wide receiver and cor-
nerback. He had two seasons of
1,000-plus receiving yards.
Infante ran for 2,624 yards at
Pocono Mountain West before
playing running back at Ship-
pensburg University.
Reed, a 240-pounder with ex-
perience at quarterback, wide
receiver and linebacker, played
at Division I Monmouth Univer-
sity before transferring to Fair-
leigh Dickinson-Florham where
he was a two-time all-star.
Del Grosso, a 6-foot-5, 230-
pounder, played at Wyoming
Seminary before spending four
years at Rhode Island where he
caught 35 career passes.
Jesse Hinkley is back. The
Scranton High School graduate
and Old Forge resident was the
teams Most Valuable Player last
season. Hinkley is working
through an injury issue.
LaMagna saidthestatus of de-
fensive back Anthony Bodt-
mann, one of the teams stand-
outs, is uncertain because of a
work commitment. Bodtmann
is a West Scranton graduate.

other solid season playing
with the University of
Hartford mens golf team.
Ross (Dunmore) and his
teammates are heading into the
America Sky Conference Cham-
pionship starting next Sunday
at the Lake of Isles Course in
Ledyard, Conn.
I expect Pat and the other guys to
do great things at the champion-
ships, said Hartford golf coach Pete
Stankevich. We know the course,
we play it well, and
were playing close
to home where we
will be getting
plenty of fan sup-
port.
And Stankevich
knows the sopho-
more well, too.
Pat has been our number two
player pretty much all year and has
shown steady improvement, the
coach said. He has lowered his
scoring average by two shots over
last year and weve played some of
our tournaments on long, difficult
courses in bad weather.
The coach said that Ross Golfstat
national ranking has improved by
over 350 spots and hes had five
rounds of par of better compared to
just one last year.
Nobody wants to improve their
game and win more than Pat, and
hes impressed me with his hard
work and determination, Stankev-
ich said.

Eastern Conference quarterfi-
nal series.
Brad Thiessen didnt allow
a goal until less than two min-
utes remaining in the third pe-
riod to silence the potent
Bears offense in front of a
boisterous home crowd.
This was the most fun I had
in a long time, McDonald
Colin McDonald registered
only two goals during his last
29 games of the regular sea-
son and Cal OReilly had none
in his 21 games with Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton.
All that changed in a big
way on Friday, April 20 when
the Calder Cup playoffs began
at the Mohegan Sun Arena.
McDonald scored a pair of
goals and OReilly had the
game-winner as the Penguins
defeated the Hershey Bears,
3-1, in the first game of their
said.
We got a late start com-
pared to the NHL and weve
been staying home watching
their games, seeing how in-
tense they are. We were just
chomping at the bit all week.
The Penguins gave the
home fans plenty to be loud
about as they overwhelmed a
reeling Bears team that came
into the playoffs after losing
eight in a row to finish the reg-
ular season.
That didnt mean the Pen-
guins were going to take Her-
shey lightly, and they were put
to the test in the opening min-
ute when a bench minor gave
the Bears a power play.
The Penguins penalty kill
prevented any chances during
the Hershey advantage as
players blocked shots and
cleared pucks relentlessly.
Throughout our lineup, ev-
erybody came to play to-
night, Penguins coach John
Hynes said.
When youre playing a
team like Hershey, if one or
two guys arent invested, they
can pick you apart.
McDonald got the Penguins
on the board first when he re-
directed an Alexandre Picard
pass for a power-play goal at
14:40 of the first period.
The Penguins power play
struck again in the second pe-
riod when OReilly posted at
the corner of the net and
slammed home a pass from Ja-
son Williams from the top of
the slot.
Ive been saving it for when
it matters, OReilly said after
his first goal of the season.
McDonald scored his sec-
ond of the night midway
through the third period.
