Collin Kulick of Moosic will compete in the skateboard competition on Saturday and Sunday, July 21 and 22 at the Jackson Street skate park in West Scranton.
ollin Kulick said his skateboarding skills have improved tremendously over the last year, and this weekend hell be able to show his community just how good hes gotten. The Moosic resident will be competing in the skateboard competition scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, July 21 and 22 at the Jackson Street skate park at the corner of Jackson Street and North Bromley Avenue in West Scranton. The competition was held for the first time last year, and after positive feedback, is being brought back as a part of the second annual West Scranton Hyde Park Neighborhood Watch block party. The kids absolutely loved the skateboard competition last year, said Neighborhood Watch President Karin Foster. Some of the children are really enthused with skateboarding, and theyve never competed before or knew what that was about. In addition to giving the children who already frequent the park a chance to compete, the block party and the competition exposed some in the community to the park for the first time, like Kulick. Kulick, who is sponsored by Underwood Skatepark, who sponsored last years skateboard competition along with Zumiez, came to the event last year as spectator and was impressed with the facility. He became a fixture at the park after that, skating there almost every day. It was nice, and its the only free skate park in the area, said Kulick. Kulick, whos been a skateboarder for just under five years, credits the park with helping him improve this past year. His comments were echoed by a number of other area residents

SCRANTON The city is in trouble in both county and federal court after paying all its workers minimum wage on July 6, a move that the unions are arguing is unnecessary and a violation of their contracts as well as a court order. A pair of federal lawsuits filed July 10 on behalf of several Scranton fire fighters, police officers, and public works employees allege that the city cut disability benefits to $7.25 as early as June 16 and deprived several workers of overtime pay beginning around June 27. Officers Michael Albert, Peter Balchus, Jason Christiano, David Gullone, Edward Kowalyk, Steven Marino, and Delwin Morgan and fire fighters Kenneth Czyzyk, Michael Grimes, and Roger J. Rogalewicz collectively allege in one lawsuit that they were injured in the line of duty and their
disability were slashed in the middle of June without a hearing. The suit claims the mens 14th Amendment rights to due process were violated. In a separate filing, officers Ronald Alongi, Paul Reed, and Lowell Stevens, along with public works employees Tony Giannione, John Henehan, and Edward May claim the city has failed to properly compensate union employees for overtime hours as outlined in the Fair Labor Standards Act. The suit states that police officers have worked in excess of 43 hours a week, public works employees have put in more than 40 hours per week, and fire fighters have clocked more than 53 hours a week without being provided the overtime compensation mandated by law. That suit also names all other persons similarly situated as fellow plaintiffs, but it does not list an amount due city workers as

Councilman Pat Rogan said City Council is not going to pass a 78 percent tax increase.

and contends that several of their negotiated suggestions for the plan to lessen the tax increases were not included in their entirety. In a letter dated July 12 addressed to Doherty and Council President Janet Evans, DCED Secretary C. Alan Walker urged both parties to end their months of political deadlock and said they would be willing to provide a third-party professional mediator, a zero percent loan of $2 million $1 million to be repaid within 30 days of settle of unfunded debt borrowing and $1 million to be amortized over a yet-to-be-determined period and a $250,000 grant to be used for payment of current expenses. Im very hopeful that the mayor will sit down with council and negotiate in good faith even though his track record in that area has been bleak. The mayor has to understand at this point in time that this City Council is not going to pass a 78 percent tax increase. There are many other ideas for generating revenue that council
SCRANTON - The Lackawanna County seat often characterized as a hard scrabble town in the heart of coal country is gaining new national recognition this week as the home for a growing number of court battles over wage cuts. Mayor Chris Doherty sent a letter to the citys unions on June 27 informing members that their pay would be cut to the minimum wage of $7.25 an hour as the city works through a financial deficit. The police, fire, and public works unions won an injunction against the cuts in Lackawanna County Court last week, but that didnt stop the cuts from
hitting their paychecks on July 6. In response, the unions filed two federal lawsuits over disability pay and overtime wages on July 10 in addition to a civil contempt suit filed in Lackawanna County Court. Last week, national news networks also took notice of the citys troubles and shined a spotlight on Scranton City Hall and the struggles of some workers dealing with a near 75 percent pay cut. CNN, Fox News, CBS, and NBC were just some of the national networks discussing the issues with union and city officials. I think it creates a sense of urgency, and thats never a bad thing. And it also is the truth. Two weeks ago, we only had

SCRANTON The state Department of Community and Economic Development has offered the city $2.25 million and mediation services to help settle the citys financial crisis and agree on a Revised Recovery Plan, City Council announced on July 12, but Mayor Chris Doherty said that negotiations cannot wait any longer and an agreement may be reached before the citys next pay period. At the behest of Doherty, city employees were all paid minimum wage the previous week due to the citys lack of funds, caused mainly by a shortfall in the 2012 budget. The budget requires $9.85 million in unfunded borrowing from M&T Bank, but the bank has called for the passage of a Revised Recovery Plan in order to assure that a plan to be paid back is in place. Council has refused to approve the mayors suggested plan because of its 78 percent total tax increase over the next three years
has, said Councilman Pat Rogan. I think everyone here agrees its not going to be their plan. Its going the citys plan. And thats what we need something thats fair for the taxpayers. When reached for comment on July 13, Doherty said he is very happy that DCED offered to participate, but emphasized that negotiations cannot wait any longer. I believe that we can meet these deadlines. We just have to come together and make tough decisions. Mrs. Evans and I have been talking every day and negotiating every day, Doherty said. We cant wait a week. We have deadlines. You have to keep negotiating, so Mrs. Evans and I are doing thatYouve just got to get it done, so were getting it done and were having good conversations. It cant wait seven days. We dont have seven days to give up. The goal, he added, is to make full payroll next week. Councilman Jack Loscombe accused the banks of collusion to

he Scranton School Board of Directors approved appointing several administration positions to the objection of some in attendance during a special meeting held on Monday, July 9. There was absolutely no reason to hire as many administrators as we just hired tonight, said Rosemary Boland, president of the Scranton Federation of Teachers.
The board approved the appointments of Michelle Rinaldi as supervisor of special education-instructional; Dennis Engles, special education behavioral advisor specialist; Jessica Leitzel, supervisor of elementary education; Christopher
Mazzino, supervisor of curriculum and instruction; John Coyle, Scranton High School principal; Colleen Leonard, McNichols Plaza Elementary School principal; Michael Montoro, Scranton High School vice principal; David Mitchell, Scranton High School vice principal; and Daniel Williams, Isaac Tripp Elementary School principal by a vote of 8-1 with Kathleen McGuigan voting no. McGuigan was also the lone no vote on the appointing of Colleen S. Burke as a clerk at Scranton High School and Thomas Pugliese as floating general custodian. She explained during the meeting that her decision to vote against the positions was out of interest to the districts budget. The budget was also what inspired Boland to speak during Mondays meeting, when she requested the board of directors reconsider some of the positions that were slated to be filled. I think this is the time to be a
little bit cautious with what were doing with our money. I dont believe that this is the time to go off and start hiring just for the sake of filling a job. If that job isnt a vital part to the nuts and bolts to this district, then we dont need that job, said Boland. Following the meeting, Boland cited several sacrifices the teachers in the district made during the last contract negotiation. We did a lot to help the Scranton School District stay afloat, said Boland. This is not the time to go hog wild hiring. I think you have to tell your staff to do what you have to do to survive, thats what they kept begging us at the table and we helped them out. School board President Bob Lesh said he agreed with Boland that this was not the time to go on a hog wild spending spree. And that the board, who has been able to save money in the last two years through attrition
and bringing in a health care consultant, who was able to find health care at a reduced cost, has looked into the task of filling these positions very seriously. We are trying to be as frugal as we can, but tonight there are administrators that we do need to replace. Theres a couple maintenance positions that we do need to replace. And believe me its been well discussed, well thought out. Also during the meeting, Suzanne Conaboy, Melissa Dailey and Eileen Leonard were approved to the Health and Safety Committee. The board approved the promotions of Kim Mecca to supervisor of pupil personnel/support services; Ann Genett, supervisor of special education-instructional; Cathy Opshinsky, supervisor of special education-instructional; and William P. Gaynord, manager of personnel services. Margaret Duffy was approved as the principal of Willard Elementary School.

jam a Recovery Plan down our throats, a plan that he said has never been required before to receive a loan. As our solicitor said last week, there is collusion going on. Someone went to the banks, particularly these agencies, and said, Dont give it to them until they hold our people hostage with a Recovery Plan. And Im not going to sell my soul, Loscombe said. Councilman Bob McGoff said he talked to the banks personally and asked why they would not loan money to the city and said it was because the city had no plan for the financial future in place, council had let the Scranton Parking Authority go into event of default on their loan, and because they had been accused of collusion by council. The banks arent guilty of collusion. I found the banks to be very easy to deal with. This is my eleventh year in office. The banking community has been very good working with the city and those are serious statements. (Council) should watch what theyre saying, Doherty responded Friday. There is no evidence of that, and in my eleven years of experience as the mayor, Ive
never seen that. Council Vice President Frank Joyce said the city only has about $1.2 million on hand currently, and they expect at least a $5 million revenue shortfall this year even if the borrowing is received and refinancing is completed. Despite this, many of councils attempts to generate revenue for the city over the last two years have yet to come to fruition. After a year of delays, council passed a new rental registration program in March that added registration and permit fees, but McGoff said after speaking to the human resources department, he found that they had not hired anyone to collect the fees or enforce the ordinance because the legislation called for a rental registration coordinator, but the budget called for a rental registration assistant and they were unsure of which to advertise for, an issue which he hopes to rectify soon. In April, council passed a parking tax on lots and garages in the city, but Joyce said the city has yet to collect any money from this new tax. He pointed out that the city also never implemented an electronic parking meter enhancement program that council has pushed for almost two years. It was projected to bring in thousands of dollars of additional revenue, but a request for proposals
wasnt issued. This is just another example of the city dropping the ball on an opportunity to generate revenue rather than increase the taxes 78 percent, Joyce said. In other business, International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local 2305 President Sam Vitris, representing the Department of Public Works employees, exchanged some heated words with council on Thursday after asking them why they could not settle their differences with the mayor. Nobody likes tax increases nobody. The cost of government goes up. Either you figure something out here or your workers are going to be making $7.25 an hour, Vitris said. The banks are requiring a plan. Why, why, why dont we have one? We didnt reduce your pay. The mayor did unilaterally, Loscombe responded. Later in the meeting, Rogan criticized the DPW for abuse of overtime and called the department the mayors favorite union. Vitris interrupted the councilman, denying that his employees waste overtime, and exchanged accusations back and forth before council was forced to recess to end the scuffle. Its all talk, Vitris said. Theres no substance to it.

CRANTON Accepting full responsibility for the failures that occurred, Penn State Universitys Board of Trustees and its president answered tough questions during a 30minute press conference Thursday, July 12. The gathering, which drew more than 50 members of the local, state and national media, came less than seven hours after the long-awaited and ultimately scathing 267page report by former FBI Director Louis Freeh was released. Freeh, hired by the universitys trustees to investigate, held his own press conference in Philadelphia.

Penn State University President Rodney Erickson told the press conference inside the Hilton Hotel and Conference Center that the college will emerge from this a better and stronger institution. But he added that the report, which has cost the school $6.5 million to date, tells a tale that has left him horrified. Board of Trustee Chairwoman Karen Peetz said the report was something that will help guide the board to make changes to its policies and operating procedures

that allowed the wrongdoings to go unnoticed for a dozen years. We are horrified, saddened, theres not enough superlative words to use, she added. During the session she was asked if she and other board members would resign in light of the reports findings that the board perhaps did not do enough to uncover the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse cases and coverup. She said she would not and
knows of no other board members who are considering stepping down, though the idea of term limits for members of the 32-member board will be discussed at the trustees meeting in Dunmore at Penn State Worthington Scranton. Adam Taliaferro, Anthony Lubrano and Ryan McCombie were elected to the board in the spring alumni election . Three other seats were up this
year and were filled by incumbents: Kenneth Frazier and Edward Hintz who were re-elected by the board; and Carl Shaffer, president of the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau, who was an agriculture delegate. Sad and sobering Frazier headed the boards special investigative task force and also spoke at Thursdays press conference. Without mincing words, he said the report was sad and so-
bering, but also critical for all of us if were to move forward. He promised the board will do its part to ensure that an event like this can never happen again in the Penn State University community. While the trustees took some blame, they were also quick to shovel some on former president Graham Spanier, late Joe Paterno and other administrators who knew about but did not act in a proper manner to stop Sandusky, whom a jury convicted on 45 counts of abuse-related charges last month. Sixty-one years of excellent service to the university that Joe gave is now marred, Peetz said. Frazier added, Our hearts remain heavy and we are deeply ashamed of the inexcusable failure on the part of Joe Paterno and others to protect children. You have to measure every human by the good theyve done, and the bad theyve done, Frazier said. We have to take some time, we have to take some reflection and distance before we start thinking about how we think about Joe Paternos entire life and entire body of work. Erickson was also cautious about casting aspersions about the football program as a whole. I think that we should be careful that we dont paint the entire football program over a long period of time with a single brush, said Erickson, who replaced Spanier in November.

filed, the violation of the guys that are off on heart and lung thats a separate violation, Judge said. Its just to protect the interests of the members. He also clarified that he does not see this as a union versus mayor battle, but rather a dispute between the administrative and legislative branches of city government who cannot agree on a Revised Recovery Plan required to secure a bank loan that will help the city make its payrolls throughout the rest of the year. In the county courtroom of July 6, Atty. Thomas Jennings, representing the unions, and City Solicitor Paul Kelly, Jr., representing the city, presented their respective cases for about two hours, bringing union leaders to the stand as well as city Business Administrator Ryan McGowan. While Kelly argued that the employees would be made whole in the future and pointed out that all city employees, not just unionized workers, were making $7.25, Jennings said the city has not clarified how long this will go on for and are choosing which contracts to violate by paying city vendors over employees. Im not choosing, McGowan responded during the hearing. We dont have the money. Doherty added on July 13 that checks are processed Thursday, so with the hearing on Friday afternoon, the checks were already printed by the time the judge made his decision. We want to pay the employees. Thats never been a question. Our hope is that well have money for the payroll for next week. Well have an idea on that on Monday. That is our goal, to pay the full payroll, Doherty said. Kelly did not return a request for comment. he doesnt feel the added attention is making negotiations more difficult. Were the only celebrities youll know working for $7.25 an hour. I guarantee that, Judge joked. If anything, this is probably going to push the mayor to start to do the right thing.

employment and work records are in the exclusive possession, custody, and control and the City of Scranton and Mayor Chris Doherty. Both parties are named as defendants in each lawsuit. The legal actions come days after Lackawanna County Judge Michael Barrasse issued a preliminary injunction on July 6 against the city aimed at preventing the wage cuts announced by Doherty in a June 27 letter to the citys unions. Barrasse said Dohertys plan to pay workers $7.25 is a direct violation of the parties collective bargaining agreements. Unlawful acts have been threatened, have been committed, and will be committed unless restrained, the injunction states. However, a civil contempt suit also filed in Lackawanna County Court Tuesday claims that paychecks issued July 6 to members of the citys fire, police, and public works unions - International Association of Fire Fighters Local Union No. 60, E.B.

One of the best parts about working on the bookmobile is establishing relationships with patrons who may not be able to access a library if it wasnt for the bookmobile, said Welcome. It is a great feeling when you realize how thankful and appreciative the community is towards the bookmobile.

dents that he was going to begin searching for a new location. Not to my surprise, but to my reinforcement of my faith in the local artists and students of art and aspiring artists, I was met with great energy and rallying that we have to do this, said Michalowski. No one breathed a sigh of relief. No one said, Well I could use a weekend off everyone responded with, Were still in this with you, and what can we do? We dont have a budget. We dont have funds. But as people in the arts do, they push forth for it to happen, because most people
who pursue the arts arent doing it because their parents are discouraging them from studying business and want them to go into the arts to have a secure financial future. They go into it for the drive of it, and heres where the drive happens. With the students support, he contacted Nicole Sawicki, gallery coordinator of the Afa Gallery, where Michalowski hosts Drawing Socials during the week. I feel really in tune with Afa. The Afa is home to me for two nights out of the week and its a great thing and great place, and they do great things, said Michalowski. Michalowski said he had the option of holding the event on the second floor of Afa, but felt the alley behind the gallery was the appropriate setting. It needs to be in a place that would match
that of a skate park and skaters are seen as a subculture. Were really not seen as a main street event, so I think theres no better place for a subculture than an alley, said Michalowski. Because the process of switching venues was done so quickly there wasnt time to go through the process of submitting proposals that would allow the group to paint a permanent mural in the alley. So Michalowski is going to do something he frequently does on his yearly trips to Poland when he cant paint a permanent mural. He is going to take the largest sheets of white paper he can obtain, and tape them across the wall. The downside to that is its not a permanent mural. The upside to that is it allows absolute creative and improvisational freedom for people to work on, without the pres-
sure of it being permanent, said Michalowski. Having the event outside will allow those passing by the chance to come and enjoy the all-ages event, see the creative process, and enjoy the live music. Musicians scheduled to perform include, on Saturday, Tribal Waves, with didgeridoo player Jamie Orfanella, Free Music Orchestra and Red Blue Green. The duo SEES will perform during the electronic dance party that will cap off the night. On Sunday, an ensemble put together by theremin player Jason Smeltzer will take the stage, followed by Bobby Davis & the Smartest Man and Walter Prez & the Awesome. Lords of Drawtown is free of charge, donations of water, food or materials for the artists are appreciated.

Its a way to get people to visit all the sites where it doesnt cost a lot, because you know if you have three or four kids it can get pricey, said McGuigan. So, its a nice way the tax-payers can enjoy visiting some of our heritage sites. McGuigan explained that the Passport Program has been going on for years, but this year the group decided to do something a little different, with each site hosting a special activity one day during the

Gale Martin began writing her first novel at age 11, but it would be three decades before she began writing in earnest. An English teacher for about 15 years, she taught her students many novels while trying to get them excited about writing before she pursued penning her own. Sometimes I would read a book and say, Gee, I wish it would have ended this way. And then, one day, I just decided, in my mid-forties, that, well, if you want a book to end this way, maybe you should just write it. So I did, Martin recalled. Despite having taught expository writing and narrative writing and despite being an English major in college, I never took creative writing or fiction writing, so I just started trying it based on my experience being a lifelong reader. Instead of starting with poems or short stories, however, the Lancaster County resident dived right into an autobiographical novel. After I wrote that first novel, I realized, Well, maybe I should

have started with a short story, she said with a laugh. She then began writing short stories and essays, and after about a year she was submitting her work to publications and contests, winning awards from Writer-Editors Network, Writers Weekly, and Scratch along with a Pushcart Prize nomination. Now a writer for seven years, a Seattle-based publisher released her first novel last year, entitled Don Juan in Hankey, PA, a humorous homage to Don Giovanni, Mozarts fa-
mous opera about the final days of Don Juans life. It was named a finalist in the 2012 National Indie Excellence Awards for New Fiction. The idea came to her while she was working on another book, Grace Unexpected. In Grace Unexpected, I had a college president who loved opera, and (my agent) said, Oh no, thats too rich of a subtheme. Take it out and write a whole book based on opera. Ill sell it in a heartbeat. So I took it
out and I made him a Shakespeare aficionado instead of an opera lover, and that seemed to work fine, Martin explained. I didnt know much about opera really, but there are people who know tons about it. Its a very deep subject. It may not be wide, but its very deep, so I spent a semester learning about it in order to write the book. While she knew little about the subject before she began, she has since gained a love for it since, blogging about opera on Operatoonity.com and becoming an accredited opera reviewer for Bachtrack, a website about classical music and performances worldwide. Retaining her job as a communications director, she received a Master of Arts in creative writing from Wilkes University while she continued writing, meeting fellow writer Brian Fanelli while studying in the program. Knowing the local host led to her upcoming appearance in the fifth Writers Showcase at New Visions Studio and Gallery on Saturday, July 21 at 7 p.m., joining Luciana Celestine, Chris Bullard, Stephanie Longo, Susan Luckstone Jaffer, and Chris-
tine Gelineau. I always have something to work on, so if youre tired or frustrated and you hit a deadend with one, you have something else to work on that will keep you writing and keep you in practice, Martin said of her dedication to the craft. When you hear stories about how other writers succeed, you cant take any shortcuts. The only way to write is to get published. The only way to get published is to finish a book, . Having done several readings of Don Juan, Martin will be reading from her new book, Grace Unexpected, at New Visions, which was just published this month, and both tomes will be available at the event. She describes her work as down-toearth and a fast-paced read, including real-life anecdotes to keep her readers, and herself, laughing. I find a lot of things funny, so thats what I write. I dont really know why, Martin said. My fiction tends to be fun, and I really strive to write books that are un-put-down-able because I personally like a lot of plot twists and turns.

Motionless In White will play Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain as part of Vans Warped Tour on Wednesday, July 18.
The tattoos, the black hair and clothing, the gothic-inspired makeup. Its not surprising that some might judge Motionless In White based solely on the bands appearance. But to assume the members of the metalcore sextet would fit into any stereotype would be to severely underestimate them.
We really take everything that we do seriously. Nothing that we do is a gimmick or not from the heart or not honest and sincere, explained lead singer Chris Motionless on a phone call from a Vans Warped Tour stop in San Diego. And I think that people really see that when they listen to us or kind of investigate us further than just how we look. A live performance might show the bands flair for the dramatic, but interviewing Motionless is to experience a professional, almost lowkey frontman, further driving home the point that what you see isnt ex-
actly what you get. Hailing from Northeastern Pennsylvania and comprised of members Motionless, Ricky Horror, Joshua Balz, Ryan Sitkowski, Devin Sola and Angelo Parente, Motionless In White has been gaining momentum. The entire band was featured on a March cover of Kerrang! magazine, Motionless was featured on the cover of the Warped Tour edition of Alternative Press Magazine, and the band will appear on every date of this years Warped Tour, including

the stop Wednesday, July 18 at Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain in Scranton. But if you think theyve let any of that go to their heads, you would be wrong. I think theres different levels of making it it depends on what each bands perception about what making it is, Motionless said. For us, making it is just being a band every single day because there are so many bands now, and its just such a competitive world. Music is just the biggest competitive world that Ive seen in a long time. However, this Warped Tour does point to how far the band has come. In the bigger scheme of things, Id say yeah, being on the entire Warped Tour is a pretty good indication of Wow, this is actually a pretty big deal now, its not just some band anymore that we do, its the real deal, Motionless shared. So this is definitely the first time where I feel like I can say anything close to that. The band first played Warped in 2006 on the local East Coast Independent Stage, and this years outing will be its fifth with the festival. The band released its fulllength album Creatures in 2010, and Motionless confirmed that a new album, Infamous, is slated for a fall release. The process is still actually going right now, he explained. We worked with two different producers on the record, we wanted to try a lot of things that we never did before as a band. All together, its a lot different, but its also a lot of the same as Creatures. I feel like every song, youre not going to have any idea whats coming next, just because we did so many different things. Instead of harboring some sort of god complex, Motionless is totally aware of the here-today, gone-tomorrow vibe of the music industry. Thats why the band isnt afraid to pull a few punches with the new record. Its just one of those situations where I feel like a band like us doesnt have too much of a shelf life anymore because theres so many, he said. So we figured before we dont have the chance to do something that we really, really wanted to do, we might as well do it now.

Sulaiman Ismail first became involved in Mixed Martial Arts more than a quarter century ago. Ismail remains involved. He trains athletes in the sport and wants to fight professionally at least once before he is done with the competitive portion of his career in MMA.
The younger brother of retired National Football League players Raghib and Qadry Ismail followed his brothers into football and track and field, but says MMA is where he is most at home. Ive been fighting all my life, said Sulaiman Ismail, a 39-yearold Kingston resident. Before we moved here from New Jersey, I was learning martial arts when I was 7. I started training for MMA when I was 12. Ismail dabbled in both of his brothers sports after graduating from Meyers. At one time, he competed in track and field with aspirations of progressing toward the 1996 U.S. Olympic Trials. He walked on the football team at Texas-El Paso before spending time with two Arena Football League teams in 2001. My sport is fighting, Ismail said. My brothers was the NFL.

Rob Crain and Jeremy Ruby share a laugh during a SWB Yankees press conference.
s a native of Burlington, Mass. and a graduate of Springfield College in Massachusetts, Rob Crain had a hard time picturing himself someday working with the Yankees. That is where Crain was Monday, July 9 when he was introduced as the new president and general manager of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees. I have to thank the New York Yankees, Crain said after landing a position with the top minor-league affiliate of the most famous franchise in American sports. As a kid growing up 20 minutes from Fenway Park, never in my wildest dreams would I have thought Id thank the New York Yankees for anything. Crain joins the Yankees after four years as assistant general manager of the Pacific Coast Leagues Omaha Storm Chasers, the top affiliate of the Kansas City Royals. He was with the Storm Chasers through the opening of Werner Park and will lead the Yankees through preparation of the debut of the reconstructed PNC Field.
Mandalay Baseball Properties CEO Art Matin called the Storm Chasers one of the most successful franchises in minor league baseball. SWB Yankees LLC, the new franchise owner, is a partnership between Mandalay Baseball and the New York Yankees. Matin has been serving as interim general manager of the team since it was purchased from Lackawanna County. Former Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees general manager Kristen Rose resigned shortly before the franchise sale was completed. Rob is a well-respected baseball executive and his most recent experiences in Omaha fit perfectly with our opportunity and commitment to provide an outstanding experience for all our fans and stakeholders, Matin said. Crain began his career in professional baseball with the Southwest Michigan Devil Rays. What were going to do is create 72 events, Crain said, 72 events that are focused around the sights, the sounds, the smells, the fan experience.
PROGRESS In addition to introducing Crain and announcing the return of Jeremy Ruby as executive vice president, Matin provided updates on many issues being addressed while the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees are spending the 2012 season on the road. Matin said more than 500 truckloads of debris and 3,000 tons of steel have been removed from the construction site. The name the team contest has brought out nearly 2,700 suggestions. It has been a tremendous response, Matin said. We asked for reasons for the suggestions. Some gave full essays, some short comments. They showed passion and logic. Matin said that between 60 and 70 percent of seats will be available to fans at $10 or less per game. He said packages and group sales could make up to 90 percent of the seats available for that price.

ALL-STAR BREAK Despite not being able to play at home, the Scranton/WilkesBarre Yankees made it to the allstar break with a 48-43 record. At the break, the Yankees were third in the International League North Division, four games behind the Lehigh Valley IronPigs (52-39) and 2 games behind the Pawtucket Red Sox (51-41). Ronnier Mustelier ranked sixth in the league in batting average at .305. Jack Cust was tied for third with 19 homers and fourth with 57 RBI and 52 runs scored. Brandon Laird was tied for seventh with 21 doubles. Ramon Ortiz was seventh in the IL with a 2.94 earned run average. Kevin Whelan was third with 12 saves. Juan Cedeno was the teams only representative in Wednesdays 25th annual Triple-A AllStar Game. Cedeno retired the Pacific Coast League in order in the eighth without allowing a ball out of the infield. He struck out one and got two groundouts. The PCL won, 3-0. SCORELESS STREAK Kyle McMyne pitched his own version of a shutout from June 22 through July 11. The Bakersfield Blaze pitcher from Old Forge has been pitching an inning at a time as a reliever. McMyne, who struggled when he was first promoted to Bakersfield earlier this season, strung together nine straight one-inning relief appearances in which he did not allow a run. The former Villanova righthander has three saves during the scoreless streak. In nine innings, he allowed four hits and seven walks while striking out nine. In 18 games with the California League team, McMyne is 1-1 with three saves and a 3.68 earned run average. Counting his time at Dayton of the Midwest League, McMyne has thrived during a busy season. He is 4-3 with five saves and a 3.11 ERA in 36 appearances in the Cincinnati Reds farm system.

Dylan Lindberg and Dan Repshis have been going to Dream Games at their home stadium for years. When the 78th annual Scranton Lions Club-sponsored football all-star game is played Aug. 1 at Scranton Memorial Stadium, Lindberg and Repshis will get their chance to be part of it as West Scrantons representatives on the City team that faces the County. I went pretty much every year, said Lindberg, a wide receiver/defensive back. I know theres always a big crowd.
I always wanted to play in it. Repshis, a wide receiver/punter, knows that the Dream Game, which benefits blindness prevention and sight preservation projects, is more than a game. I know how everyone has a good time, Repshis said. Its not just the City vs. County. Its guys from different teams getting to play together. For Repshis, the Dream Game represents a last chance to play football. He is headed to Lackawanna College where he will concentrate on baseball. Although he split time between quarterback and wide receiver in his senior year with the Invaders, Repshis said he has al-
ready spoken with City coach Keith Olsommer from Delaware Valley and knows to be prepared to be a receiver. Repshis is already working on his punting with help from Abington Heights coach and West Scranton graduate Joe Repshis, Dans uncle. As a senior, Repshis averaged 32.3 yards per punt. He hit 26 of 62 passes for 389 yards and three touchdowns with five interceptions. He also caught seven passes for 113 yards and rushed for 58 yards. Lindberg caught 22 passes for 401 yards and three touchdowns in his second season as a starting receiver. His only pass attempt went for a 63-yard touchdown. He also
moved into the lineup on defense and intercepted two passes while being in on 15 tackles. Lindberg is headed to Wilkes University to study physical therapy and continue with his football career. Marcus Moody had also been selected to represent West Scranton but the linebacker/defensive end had to decline because of a scheduling conflict. The teams meet Thursday night at Memorial Stadium and the City begins practice Friday. Mid Valleys Frank Pazzaglia is coaching the County.
