Scranton resident Bob Mrykalo, right, keeps his hand over the bell while he and Adeline Ray listen to a question during United Neighborhood Centers of Northeastern Pennsylvanias citizenship quiz during a voter registration rally Tuesday, Sept. 25 at the West Side Senior Center.
I cant remember not voting since then, said Fisher, 70, a local attorney and voting rights activist who spoke Tuesday, Sept. 25 at a voter registration rally hosted by United Neighborhood Centers of Northeastern Pennsylvania. UNCs National Voter Registration Day gathering at the West Side Senior Center in Scranton mixed sober injunctions by Fisher and other speakers with the fun of a trivia contest and practical information about voting. The agency registered about 100 new voters since kicking off a registration drive on Sept. 1, UNC Executive Director Michael Hanley said. Those efforts will continue until Oct. 9, the last day to register. The agency also will coordinate rides to the polls on Election Day for any
case, Hanley fears that a lot of damage has already been done, and some would-be voters have been scared away from the polls. In addition to its registration efforts, UNC has provided several senior citizens rides to PennDOTs Dunmore office to obtain new IDs. Austin Peters didnt seem put off by the controversy on Tuesday. At 15, the West Scranton High School student isnt old enough to vote, but said he fully plans to embrace that right when he comes of age. In the meantime, Peters demonstrated his passion for American government and democracy during UNCs trivia contest. I love history, said Peters, whose hand seemed continuously on his signal bell during the contest, in which more than two dozen questions from the U.S. Citizenship test were posed to teams ranging from teenagers to senior citizens. The questions touched on everything from what the Declaration of Independence accomplished to identifying the current, Scrantonborn vice president. Quiz master Gary Drapek, president and CEO of

OLD FORGE- An atmosphere of uncertainty permeated the Old Forge High School auditorium throughout Superintendent R. Scott Jefferys inaugural State of the District address on Monday, Sept. 24. Jeffery, who has served as superintendent of the school district for the last 21 months, addressed the financial, academic, and infrastructural challenges facing the district. Jeffery said that the main issue for the district has been finances ever since Gov. Tom Corbett took office. The district is struggling to balance its budget between issues of teacher compensation, decreased enrollment and the abolition of several state grants. Were not in a deficit, Jeffery said. Weve just had to pull from our savings so to speak. Because of increased costs and decreased revenue the district has spent beyond its budget for the past five years. Jeffery assured the crowd that Old Forge could get back on track by increasing revenue and cutting existing programs. When asked for specifics Jeffery said that those decisions would be made by the newly formed Comprehensive Planning Committee, whose first meeting will be held Thursday, Oct. 4 in the high schools library. Jeffery also addressed academic issues including declining test scores and decreased enrollment. He claimed that the appearance of lowering test scores is actually due to the introduction of impossible standardized test expectations rather than declining performance. He referred specifically to the new Keystone Exams, a state evaluation that will replace the PSSA. If students are improving, if they are learning, then we are a success, Jeffery said. Every school will be marked as inefficient because the mark will be unattainable.
The district has been losing a considerable number of students to private charter and cyber charter institutions, Jeffery said. This also adds to Old Forges financial woes because these private institutions bill the district for the education of children living in that area. How do we make sure they dont leave the school district? Jeffery asked rhetorically in response to concern from the audience, I think we make sure the education is quality. I think our first priority is to make sure students are getting a good education, but the sense of community kids get here is second to none, he said. Im going to provide the leadership that Im capable of providing so that education here at Old Forge gets better. Gathered community members were not shy about expressing their concern for the district. A topic of contention throughout the night was a circulating rumor of a teachers strike. The Old Forge School District has had a number of teachers strikes over the last six years, with the last threat coming in March 2011. I havent received any notice therell be a strike, he said, Conversations and discussions have not happened between I and the school board. Anything youve heard has been hearsay. Its happened in the past, countered Brenda Mucciolo, a mother of two children currently enrolled at Old Forge High School, chances are theyre going to happen again. The teachers in the district are currently working without a contract Jeffery said, but there is nothing in the law that requires there to be a contract in place. Other community concerns included rumors of school districts merging and the lack of a set financial plan. Jeffery said that future meetings had already been set up to deal with these issues more specifically.

The Columbus Day Association of Lackawanna County has named Joseph DeAntona its Man of the Year. The group will bestow the honor on DeAntona at its 104th annual banquet on Sunday, Oct. 7 at Fiorellis. DeAntona grew up in West Scranton with his sisters MaryAnn, Marguerite and brother Paul, the children of the late Joseph and Clara Notartomas DeAntona. After graduating from West Scranton High School in 1961 he entered the University of Iowa, receiving a full athletic scholarship playing guard and linebacker for the Hawkeyes. His first full time teaching job was in the Line Mountain School District, near Sunbury, as the head football coach and physical education teacher. He came home to West Scranton High School in 1968 to teach and serve as an assistant football coach before becoming the head coach in 1972. For 26 years, Joe coached the West Scranton Invaders leading teams to many championships . During those years, he served as a head coach in the Lions Club Dream Game. DeAntona said his proudest moments were when three of his players signed NFL contracts: Mark Spindler with the Detroit Lions; Fred DeRiggi with the Boston Patriots (now New England Patriots); and Bill Ferrario with the Green Bay Packers; along with 32 Division I scholarships. He was inducted into the Chick Feldman Lackawanna County Sports Hall of Fame in 1991, the Northeastern Region Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame in 1998, the Champion of Youth Awards for the Boys and Girls Club of America in 1998, named Li-
ons Club Man of the Year 2003, and received the Brian Piccolo Memorial Award from Unico National Scranton Chapter in 2006. He is an active Joseph participant in DeAntona many community activities and events in the region, a former Lackawanna County Parks and Recreation Director, a former president of the West Point Parents Association. He is a member of the Lackawanna County Stadium Authority, the City and County Health and Welfare Authority, the Advisory Board for Special Needs (Equestrian), the Boys and Girls Club Alumni Association, the West Scranton High School Alumni Association, and the University of Iowa Alumni Association, the American Federation of Teachers, the Pennsylvania Federation of Teachers, the Scranton Federation of Teachers, Unico National Scranton Chapter and he has been the president of the Victor Alfieri Society since 1998. He is married to the former Alyce Rosengrant and is the father of Colonel Joseph DeAntona III, Brigade Tactical Officer at United States Military Academy at West Point; Michael, former head football coach at West Scranton High School; Marc and stepfather of Craig Mailen, a teacher at West Scranton Intermediate School. Tickets are $40 per person for the event, and can be ordered by calling 342.5390 or from any committee member. The Poets will entertain and cocktails begin at 6 p.m. with dinner at 7 p.m.
Kathy Wallace chose her words very carefully. Youll notice I say died by suicide, not commit, Wallace told a hushed audience in the West Scranton High School auditorium. You commit a crime. You commit a sin, continued Wallace, chairwoman of the Greater Northeast Pennsylvania chapter of the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention. Suicide is a lot of times caused by a mental, medical illness. Its something that you have, not something you commit. With the region reeling from the suicide deaths of four Luzerne County teens, more than 60 people gathered on Thursday night, Oct. 27 to hear mental health professionals talk about warning signs that a young person might be thinking about taking their own life. Wallace and John Gibbons, Ph.D., a therapist at the Scranton Counseling Center, cautioned against the search for easy answers -- especially blaming youth suicides on bullying. They underscored such risk factors as mental illness, family conflict and substance abuse, adding that teens who kill
themselves may begin having suicidal thoughts as early as elementary school. Where the risk factors are present, adults and friends should be vigilant and discuss the issue freely. We need to teach (children) to explore emotions they have problems with, Gibbons said, adding that kids who dont have those skills clam up. Kids, especially, are very good at masking things, Wallace said. The only way to know if someone is thinking about taking their life is to ask them. That, Wallace acknowledged, is a difficult thing for many adults to do because of the stigma surrounding mental illness. Youths may find discussing the issue even more daunting. Its you kids who may notice the vulnerability in a student, a classmate, that adults may not see, Wallace said, encouraging her listeners not to fear getting anybody in trouble by reporting what they see to a trusted adult. The most important thing is to tell someone, said Kim Mecca, the districts supervisor of pupil personnel/support services. Judy Gatelli, West Scrantons school nurse, said the school
has a Student Assistance Program for any student having any kind of problem, which can provide referrals for psychological counseling. The school also has daily support groups, with many members referred to them from the SAP. There, students can discuss issues in privacy. We dont tell anybody what they say, unless they say theyre going to hurt themselves, Gatelli said. Gatelli and staff plan to meet with each of the schools classes to talk about SAP and the support groups. We are doing all these things already, but I think we have to be more vigilant and tell the students whats available, she said. Mecca said another session is set for 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 4 at Scranton High School. It is open to the public. She hopes parents and students who attend the sessions will be more aware, and have conversations about these issues that are so sensitive. She offered her own heartfelt advice to parents Thursday night. As a mom, your gut is a very important thing, Mecca said. Dont ignore it.

Granting that concession probably gave Drapek and the audience a momentary reprieve from the furious ringing of bells as contestants battled to display their knowledge of what makes the American system tick. In the end, Peters took home some movie passes for his prowess. Fisher, who spoke about the long history of Americans efforts to extend the right to vote to all adults,

For the last two years, West Scrantons Adam Weitzenkorn, co-owner of New Visions Studio & Gallery, has been providing artists with a place to exhibit their work, and this Friday hes getting a chance to join in on the fun and show what he can do. Originally from Pottstown, Weitzenkorn will be one of the artists featured in New Visions Nightmare on Vine Street II, a horror-themed art exhibit that will be on display through the month of October, with an opening reception during First Friday Scranton on Oct. 5. (New Visions) was in Taylor originally, Melanie and I were the first artists we showed, because we didnt know anybody. But this is my first time in a First Friday, said Weitzenkorn. Ive owned a gallery in downtown for over a year, and Ive never shown my work for First Friday, but thats more because I dont have time to make it. A graduate of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Weitzenkorn met his fiance and the co-owner of New Visions, Melanie Boisseau, while she was attending Massachusetts College of Art and Design. After graduating, the two decided they wanted to open a gallery, eventually coming to the Scranton area. I wanted to pick a place in Pa., a place thats not too city, but not too town, and a place we could afford, said Weitzenkorn. (Scranton) had the upcoming art scene with First Friday. And we just took the dive and we picked here. In the short time New Visions has been open in downtown Scranton, the gallery has attracted a steady group of loyal customers and become known in the area as a place to see live bands perform. The amount of work involved in running the gallery, however, has left little time for either owner to create art, but Weitzenkorn felt it was important to make time after it was decided New Visions would hold a se-

quel to Nightmare on Vine Street. The first Nightmare on Vine Street was held last year featuring artists Alex Seeley, Erica Simon and Nick Shotwell. It proved to be a large draw and was described by Weitzenkorn as the gallerys most successful night ever. I think last years success of Nightmare on Vine Street was due to the subject matter of the exhibit and also the artists who
were involved, said Boisseau. So many people love Halloween and any excuse to start celebrating early helps. Its a unique idea to transform a fine-art setting into something so fun. Unfortunately, Weitzenkorn was only able to enjoy the fun for an estimated five minutes. Our credit card machine went down and I had to run it from home, so I had to sit at

had dog tags, so if you were alongside me and I knew you got shot and killed, at night they would make a fire pit and they would honor their fallen comrades, and that was the way theyd get honored. Because of the close proximity to the church, the society will be using candles rather building a fire pit, to avoid any accidents. The two expect the program to last around 45 minutes, with the goal of the afternoon to entertain and also educate those in attendance, who will hopefully go on and share what theyve learned with those who couldnt make it. Our motto at the historical society is, You dont know where youre going if you dont know where youve been. And if you dont know the history of your hometown, you dont have a feel for your area. Everything just cant be modern, you have to know about the history, especially the young people, said Schaefer. If the young people dont learn it its gone.

Watch out drugstores, there is a new rewards program in town. Out of the three major drugstores, Walgreens was the only one without a store loyalty card until this month. A few weeks ago, Walgreens rolled out a new program, The Balance Rewards Program, offering shoppers additional ways to save. Balance Rewards are similar to CVS Extra Care Bucks and Rite Aid Up Rewards where shoppers register their personal information to receive a Walgreens store card to earn Balance Rewards. One difference between Walgreens program and others is that Balance Rewards have no limit to the amount of products that can be purchased, and that means no limit to the amount of reward points earned. Balance Reward points can be earned with qualifying purchases and redeemed like cash. You can enroll in the Balance Rewards by visiting Walgreens, applying online
remain available in your account for 36 months. The best part about this new program is that Balance Rewards can be used in combination with manufacturer coupons, Walgreens coupons, and Register Rewards. This is very different from the other drugstore policies and is really a couponers dream because of the various ways to earn points in conjunction with coupons. Prior to the Balance Rewards Program, Walgreens offered Register Rewards, which was money earned toward a future purchase that was printed at the register. The Register Rewards program is still active and Balance Rewards can be used in addition to earning Register Rewards. You can even use Balance Rewards points towards earning Register Rewards.

home the whole time and miss the biggest show we ever had. When it was decided to bring the exhibit back, featuring a new group of artists, Weitzenkorn knew that he not only wanted to be able to attend the show this time, but he wanted his work featured too, feeling it went well with the theme of the exhibit. A lot of my art is horror based, said Weitzenkorn. I do a lot of art on the dark side, just being influenced by comics, and I did read a lot of horror comics as a kid. He began working on the 11 pieces for the exhibit six months ago and is in the process of putting the final touches on them now. A painter and a sculpture, Weitzenkorn has combined the two methods for this exhibit, creating a series of pieces that make it seem as if his subjects are bursting through the canvas and coming to get you. In addition to Weitzenkorn, the show will also feature the work of Tom Gates, Ashley Gries and Jay Salerno. Salerno is the owner and main tattoo artist at Visions Burn Tattoo & Gallery located in Dunmore, and he works in the mediums of painting, drawing, screen printing, and tattooing. I had been thinking about Jay Salernos work for some time now. He never submitted any artwork to me for consideration in any shows but I had visited his tattoo shop in Dunmore for an art opening last year and was impressed by his style of drawing and painting. Along with his everyday drawing for designing tattoos, I noticed he was doing some playful zombie and skull work, said Boisseau. Gries has been exploring and learning different types of photography for many years. I had been following (Gries) recent works and thought her style of photography fit perfectly in the theme, said Boisseau. Gates studied art at Keystone College where he majored in fine arts with a bache-

lors degree in painting and sculpture. His major influences include expressionism and surrealism. Tom Gates was originally supposed to be involved in the September Keystone alumni exhibit we have up now. Looking more at his work when we really got into planning for Septembers show, I encouraged him to instead be in the Nightmare show. His work was a perfect fit for it and I had yet to find a sculpture artist, said Boisseau The opening reception on Friday, Oct. 5, will include an acoustic performance featuring area band Silhouette Lies. The performance is something of a preview for the show bands Sucker, Midnight Mob, a band from Long Island, and Silhouette Lies, who will take part in on Saturday, Oct. 27, when the groups will play horror songs from 8 to 10 p.m. followed by a screening of the 1968 film Night of the Living Dead at 11 p.m. The next day New Visions will host the Scranton Horror Film Fest 2012, a Halloween-
themed film event on Sunday, Oct. 28. Were working with Kevin Vogrin, trying to get people who are interested in making local horror films to submit (their work). Its free to submit, and we just want to see who has some good stuff out there, said Weitzenkorn. New Visions is currently accepting films in horror, surrealism, mystery, expressionism and similar genres. The deadline for submission is Friday, Oct. 19, and can be mailed or dropped off at New Visions. For more information, visit http://www.newvisionsstudio.com/horrorfest. Weitzenkorn feels the variety of activities offered at the gallery around Halloween is fitting, saying the season lends itself to a number of different artistic showcases. Halloweens a good creative time to express yourself, said Weitzenkorn. Who doesnt love Halloween?

During the time of the interview, Mainetto was planning on singing Bound to You by Christina Aguilera in the final round of the contest. The choice seems fitting, since it was Aguilera who inspired Mainetto to sing in the first place. I was 12 years old, and.the first time I heard Christina Aguilera, I was watching YouTube, and I liked how she sang, and I thought I wanted to sing too, just like her. So, I started singing when I was 12, said Mainetto. Rather than take lessons, Mainetto decided to teach herself, and has stuck with that method for the last five years. She said she didnt plan on seeking any outside help leading up to the final round of the contest, even going as far as saying she prefers to rehearse completely alone with no one watching her. I never like to be interrupted when Im singing, because then I just get out of the singing mood, said Mainetto. In the days leading up to the contest Mainetto said she was hard at work, going through Bound to You, and choosing the second song she would sing if she was one of the five finalists chosen to go to the second round of Saturdays contest. While at the time of the interview she said she hadnt decided on a song, she was leaning toward singing another one by Adele. I like her voice, and the high notes and how slow the songs are, said Mainetto of Adele. I like slow songs because they show your voice off, and I just love singing her songs. A winner was to be picked from the five finalists and receive a $500 gift card to the Mall at Steamtown following the second round. While Mainetto said shed obviously like to win the contest, if she doesnt shell still feel good about the experience. Im there to pretty much sing, and whoever wins, wins, but at least I got to sing to the public and do what I like to do, said Mainetto. Mainetto said she plans to continue singing after the contest.

Old Forges Brian Tomasetti scored six touchdowns against Riverside on Sept. 28.
HISTORIC ROUT
By TOM ROBINSON For Go Lackawanna
AYLOR Old Forge has played high school football teams from Taylor 66 times since 1916. The Blue Devils have never enjoyed a night quite like Friday against their biggest rival. Brian Tomasetti ran for 223 yards and six touchdowns to lead unbeaten Old Forge to a 54-7 romp over host Riverside.
Riverside entered Friday night with a chance to even the series, dating back through its days as Taylor and TaylorMoosic, at 31 wins each. Instead, Old Forge opened the largest margin ever between the two teams. In the last meeting between the teams, Old Forge rolled to the District 2 championship with a 47-6 blowout that matched a 50-year-old record for largest victory in the series. Old Forge had defeated Taylor-Moosic, 54-13, in 1961. They just came out and played physical football, River-
side coach Evan Prall said. They got off the football and made plays. Tomasetti made many of them. He ran for two touchdowns in each of the first three quarters and intercepted a pass that he returned 52 yards. The bottom line is our kids answered the call, Old Forge coach Mike Schuback said after the Blue Devils backed up their number-five ranking among Class A teams in the state, according to the Harrisburg Patriot-News. Old Forge scored on its first four possessions to break away after the Riverside offense also
got off to a fast start. Riverside drove to the Old Forge 23 on the games first possession before stalling. Tomasetti then carried five times for 55 yards, including a 26-yard touchdown to lead the Blue Devils down the field. Riverside came right back to force a 7-7 tie on a 71-yard pass from Nick Dranchak to Nico Munley. Brenden Wahls 18-yard pass to Anthony Piccolini gave the Blue Devils a 13-7 lead. Tomasetti started the procSee BLUE DEVILS, Page 24

Old Forge has handled two teams it is likely to face in the District 2 Class A playoffs that it is virtually assured of taking part in. As they try to add another division title, the Blue Devils will also be trying to find a way to maintain a level of play that gives the team an appearance of being a threat on the state level. Whether regular-season titles are on the line or not, it is difficult to duplicate the excitement of the games against the Bucks and rival Vikings the past two weekends. After being crushed 48-0 by six-time champion Southern Columbia in 2006 in its first state playoff appearance, Old Forge returned last year to battle the Tigers in a 45-34 loss in a rematch that left the Blue

streaks. The Blue Devils held a physically powerful Dunmore team without a first down in the first half. They contained a speedy, explosive Riverside team, giving up just 93 yards and four first downs in 32 plays on the last eight possessions. At the beginning of the year when you saw the schedule, it was two great games, Riverside and Dunmore, back-to-back, said Brian Tomasetti, who scored six touchdowns Friday night. Its tough to prepare for both. Dunmore is real powerful team and Riverside has a lot of speed. Old Forge has enough of both to deal with either challenge, and the team presents obstacles that no opponent has come closing to clearing this season. We knew what we were up against, Old Forge coach Mike Schuback said. Dunmore is a very physical team. Riverside is a very explosive team offensively. They are two different styles. Youve got to respect both styles. The game plan we used last week, we couldnt use this week. Thats what makes this game great. The Blue Devils are just halfway through their regular season. They have not even played the first game in defense of their Lackawanna Football Conference Division 3 title. They open the division at home Friday against Montrose, which has not won since the second week of the 2009 season. It is not Old Forges fault that high school football in northeastern Pennsylvania has evolved to the point where state playoff appearances, district titles and even district qualifying are often remembered more than division titles within the LFC.

oe Gerek liked the position his team was in as it headed to the locker room Friday night. When West Scranton reemerged, it faced an unbeaten Delaware Valley team that quickly established control while breaking away for a 41-7 Lackawanna Football Conference Division 1 victory.
The Invaders cut the Warriors lead in half late in the second quarter. We scored and then, right before the half, we were stopping them, Gerek said in a post-game interview at Scranton Memorial Stadium. I really thought we had the momentum going in at halftime. Gerek went through his offensive and defensive adjustments at halftime, mapping out a plan for the Invaders as they faced a 14-7 deficit. Delaware Valley changed the outlook with a sustained drive to open the second half on the way to a 21-7 lead when Bryan Schor hit Joe Santiago with an 8-yard touchdown pass. By the time they were done, the Warriors piled up 30 first downs and held the ball for nearly three times as long as the Invaders, who they outscored, 27-0, in the second half. Schor, the Miami of Ohiobound quarterback, finished with two touchdown runs to go along with his touchdown pass. It was the running of Santiago, however, that helped Delaware Valley dominate. He ran the ball well behind great blocking, Gerek said. Delaware Valley opened a 14-0 lead on a 6-yard run by Ryan McGowan and a 5-yarder by Schor. West Scranton put together six plays of at least five yards on a drive that reduced the lead to 14-7. Demetris Garcia and Marquis

BY THE NUMBERS
Delaware Valley has scored at least 34 points in every game and is averaging 39.2. The seven points allowed against the Invaders were the fewest of the season by the Warriors. Brownlee led the Invaders with 36 yards rushing on 11 carries. McCloe was 3-for-6 for 46 yards with an interception. Freshman Leo Ciullo took over and went 1-for-5, hitting Jason Palauskas for 30 yards. Devine was the only player with two catches. He had 43 receiving yards and returned five kickoffs for 91 yards. Devine also led a busy West Scranton defense, making nine tackles, assisting on five others and breaking up a pass. Pat Gerrity had seven tackles and two assists. Joe Cawley had six tackles and three assists. Garcia, who had five tackles and three assists, and Quiller, who had four tackles and five assists, combined for a sack. Cullen Fanning had five tackles and two assists.
Scranton took advantage of six turnovers Friday night to run past Valley View, 47-13, in a meeting of Lackawanna Football Conference Division 1 unbeatens. The Knights and Cougars shared the Division 1 championship last season. Jake McCarthy ran a fumble in for a touchdown to break a tie late in the first quarter and the Knights built their lead to 21-7 at halftime with a 99-yard drive.

Carbondales three losses have come by a total of six points. Lakeland downed Susquehanna, 34-21. Western Wayne returned the second-half kickoff for a touchdown and the final points in its 41-0 rout of Montrose.

eidi Peoples will try to make it 3-for-3 while Matt Byrne will also be after a third title when competitors in the 17th annual Steamtown Marathon make their way from Forest City to downtown Scranton the morning of Oct. 7. The two local runners appear to be the favorites at this stage although there is always the chance of an elite runner being allowed a late entry into the race that has otherwise been sold out since May.
Peoples, the former Heidi Wolfsberger who was a state champion runner at Riverside, has won womens titles both times that she has entered. She won in 2008 by finishing the 26.2-mile course in 2:44:28 then set the womens record in 2010 by winning in 2:39:48. Steamtown will be the first marathon for the 32-year-old Peoples since the birth of her second child last November. The Riverside physical education teacher and West Scranton resident said she hopes to be ready to run a time somewhere between her two previous finishes at Steamtown. Ill be disappointed if Im not close to where I was in the past, said Peoples, who turned in some of her most impressive running efforts soon after her first child was born. Im hoping for better than 2008. Im not so sure about that course record, but if I have a great day, I think I could do it. She will only know that as the race develops. Peoples said her concentration will be on trying to be the first woman to finish. Im more going for the win, she said. Ill try to run a smart race. Preparing for the race with two young children at home has meant 4 a.m. starts when Peoples goes for her longer runs. She has been racing at shorter distances this summer. Steamtown seemed the logical place to make her marathon come-

back. I love the support that you get right here at home, Peoples said. Its ideal to be able to sleep in your own bed and to feel the crowd support. Byrne is likely to feel that same support. The Scranton resident, 37, has won Steamtown twice and was second last year behind Peter Kemboi, a Kenyan runner who was training in Kentucky at the time. Samantha Snead, a 24-year-old from Moscow, joins Lori Kingsley and Ali Piacente as the likely top threats to Peoples. Snead, a former North Pocono and Penn State-Scranton cross country runner, made an impressive marathon debut as one of two women to break three hours during last years runner-up finish. Kingsley, from Wysox, won this years Boston Marathon 45-49 age
group in 2:51:22. Piacente, a steadily improving 27-year-old from Alexandria, Va., ran her career-best marathon to finish fifth among women at Steamtown in 3:06:19 last year and is expecting a significant drop from there. The top threats to Byrne are expected to be: Chris Heisey, 23, Philadelphia; Jason Kennedy, 31, Honesdale; Louis-Philippe Garnier, 47, Montreal; Michael Daigeaun, 32, Philadelphia; Marcus Magyar, 26, West Pittston; and Christopher Gaube, 24, Vestal, N.Y. They are expected to be running out in front of a larger field. Steamtown continues its gradual expansion.

ess of breaking the game open with his interception on the next play. I thought we had started out so well, Prall said. Tomasettis 3-yard run and two-point conversion made the Old Forge lead 21-7 with 1:50 still remaining in the first quarter. One play after Wahl found Jake Manetti with a 40-yard pass on second-and-25, Tomasetti produced the first of his two 3yard touchdown runs in the second quarter.
The Blue Devils added to their 34-7 halftime lead by scoring on the first three possessions of the second half. Old Forge moved 58 yards in 11 plays following the second-half kickoff. The Blue Devils converted two third-downs before Tomasetti went the final 7 on fourthand-one. Tomasetti scored again from 29 yards to push the lead to 47-7 and put the game into the Mercy Rule with 3:37 left in the third quarter. Brandon Yescavage took over on the next drive, carrying seven straight times, including a 2-yard touchdown with 2:58 left.
Riverside (3-2) will try to bounce back in its Lackawanna Football Conference Division 2 opener at Western Wayne (2-3).
town Marathon ever. We could have easily booked 5,000, assistant race director Jim Cummings said. Following hundreds of cancellations something that is not uncommon for marathons about 2,000 runners started last years race, which was finished by a record total of 1,861. Cummings said growth will continue to be done slowly and evaluated each step of the way. He said there are some concerns about crowding too many runners in the Rails to Trails portion of the course and making passing difficult there. We certainly dont want to do anything to degrade the quality of the event, he said. The neat thing about the race is that we dont advertise it at all and it sells out in 50 days. The race, as it currently exists, has been extremely popular with runners from outside the area as well as the strong local running contingent, which enjoys having a major event close to home. The support the runners receive out on the course from all the volunteers and the communities the things we sort of take for granted here about the way you should treat people when they are in your community thats not how the runners are treated elsewhere, Cummings said. They just cant believe the enthusiasm, the support and the reception they get from people up and down the course. Its a nice testament to the people in this area.
BY THE NUMBERS
Tomasetti has 20 touchdowns, 124 points and six interceptions on the season. Old Forge led in first downs, 23-8; rushing yards, 333-108; passing yards, 148104; total yards, 481-212; and time of possession, 30:12-19:48. Yescavage ran for 85 yards on 12 carries. Dave Sweetman led Riverside with 51 yards on nine carries. Wahl went 7-for-11 for 148 yards. Piccolini caught three passes for 54 yards, Shane Schuback caught two for 50 and Manetti caught two for 44. Riverside completed just six of 24 passes. Dranchak was 5-for-21 for 101 yards. Jim Tucker caught four passes for 30 yards. Old Forge has scored a District 2-leading 223 points in five games. Schuback and Tony DeSando led the Old Forge defense. Each had four tackles, including one for a loss, and one assist. Dranchak had nine tackles and one assist. He also forced a fumble that the Vikings were unable to recover. Ed Martz had five tackles and six assists and rushed the passer into one incompletion.
