When news emerged last week about Scranton Mayor Chris Dohertys plan along with the Scranton School District to convert the former LincolnJackson Elementary School site into yet another city park, I balked at the idea. When cuts were announced Friday to the citys public safety unions, I felt one thing for sure. I love a good park, but enough is enough. An incident last week in West Scranton coupled with an ongoing battles between the mayor and City Council over parks show, among other things, that priorities at the corner of Mulberry Street and North Washington Avenue are certainly misguided. Norman Gamble, 20, was allegedly slashed several times in

Fellows Park along Main Avenue on July 20 in broad daylight. He walked from the park thats roughly three blocks from the site of Lincoln-Jackson and collapsed in a home on Prospect Place, even closer to the school itself, according to police. At the same time, council continues to hold its collective breath regarding funding for a park on Perry Avenue. Theyve thrown smoke and had additional distractions regarding citizen requests to move the money designated solely for recreation, and nothing has been done for months. As a final addition, the city has not started construction on another planned park improvement at the Novembrino Swim Complex, and bridges on Linden Street and Lackawanna Avenue that serve as a lifeline to West Scranton the most populated section of the city - are crumbling or have already crumbled. On Friday, the mayor cited decreased revenues and increased expenditures as the essential reasons behind the elimination of eight fire fighters and 13 police officers. The problem wont be solved with another swing set. I humbly suggest that the mayor collaborate with police and the West Scranton-Hyde Park Neighborhood Watch to build a plan to monitor Fellows Park in an attempt to duplicate success that those groups have built at the Jackson Street Skate Park. He should sit down with council to discuss the beginning of the Perry Avenue project, and begin work at Novembrino and along Linden and Lackawanna before pursuing anything else. But above all, the mayor should consider how to convert sites like the elementary school into revenue generating endeavors rather than play space. While people chomp at the bit on a waiting list nearly as long as the tenant list at the Connell Lofts, perhaps part of the answer is to convert the school and similar sites into upscale apartments for both young professionals and families who can commute into the downtown and become part of the storied neighborhoods of the city. Doherty has said that parks increase property value. While I wont debate that fact, the last thing the city needs is another non-revenue generating parcel of land. The mayors self-proclaimed passion for parks is clouding his judgment, and residents will suffer unless the skies over City Hall clear up.

Council dropped real estate taxes by 10.55 percent and business privilege and mercantile taxes by 25 percent this year, producing a shortfall of $2 million in revenue, according to Doherty. We knew we were going to have to make some changes which are not going to correct the problem for this year, but theyll get us through the year, he said. Council Finance Chair Frank Joyce said in an e-mail Friday that if the city followed councils budget as amended, layoffs are not necessary. Further citing a revenue and expenditure forecast from Business Administrator Ryan McGowan covering the first six months of 2011 and received by council on July 21, Joyce said, Councils amendments to the total of current tax revenue items is actually $49,863.80 lower than what business administrator Ryan McGowans projections are currently at for the end of the year.

Committee breaks ground on Sept. 11 memorial

Officials from Lackawanna County and the 9/11 Memorial Committee gathered at McDade Park on July 27 to break ground at the site of a permanent memorial to the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C. Plans were unveiled at last years observances to raise private donations for the memorial, which will be unveiled on the 10th anniversary of the attacks. The memorial will be built to replace a marker that was set seven years ago, Memorial Committee member Patrick OMalley said. Memorial Committee Chair Charlie Spano said nearly $10,000 of the at least $12,500 needed has been raised. Those who wish to donate may send checks to the 9/11 Memorial Committee, P.O. Box 2101, Scranton, Pa., 18502. The memorial will be surrounded by blocks of Pennsylvania bluestone donated by Buck Ridge Bluestone of Montrose. Two four-foot high black granite towers will symbolize the twin towers of the World Trade Center that were destroyed in 2001. One tower will bear logos representing fire, police and emergency medical services, and the other will include a cast aluminum plaque. The monument is being built by Fairview Monuments in Elmhurst. This years Sept. 11 services will run from 9 to 11 a.m., according to Spano. Shown at the groundbreaking are, from left, Mark Berger, Fairview Monuments, Elmhurst; Committee Member Joe DeAntona; Committee Chair Charlie Spano; Lackawanna County Commissioners Bruce Smallacombe, Corey OBrien, and Mike Washo; Committee Members Patrick OMalley and Francis Tyson; and Deputy Director for Parks and Recreation Bill Davis.

SCRANTON In their final vote before August recess, City Council overrode Mayor Chris Dohertys veto of legislation that prohibits the Scranton Recreation Authority from charging city residents an admission fee to swim at Nay Aug Park. Council introduced the legislation in response to complaints from city residents who were unhappy with the increase in Nay Augs pool fees as well as the closures of the Novembrino pool in West Scranton and the Penn Ridge Swim Complex for renovations. In the mayors veto letter, which was dated July 22, Doherty said that council did not discuss this action with him first, which is a violation of the Home Rule Charter and the Administrative Code; the legislation violates the Municipality Authorities Act; it is inconsistent with previous legislation and violates state law; and it is both fiscally and logically irresponsible.
(The authority) has seemed to go out of their way to make children and residents of Scranton pay to use Nay Aug.

Its very questionable that the Recreation Authority in 2011 is purchasing materials that were delivered to the Novembrino complex and the Capouse Avenue pool complex when neither has been open for this swim season.

Priest finds tolerance in areas progressive communities

CRANTON - With a church on almost every corner in the city, St. Lukes Episcopal Church in downtown Scranton may seem like any other house of worship. One distinct difference, however, rings of a timely debate in religious communities across the country. Rev. Peter DAngio serves as an openly gay rector of the 140-year-old church.
With a month passed since the state of New York legalized gay marriage in a historic 33 to 29 Senate vote, DAngio recently provided Go Lackawanna with a unique local and personal perspective on spiritual issues involving the gay and lesbian community and their place in Christianity. He spoke only on his own behalf and not as a representative of St. Lukes or his congregation. Origins of faith The reverend grew up Larchmont, N.Y, in a family very involved in the Episcopal Church. He said he found it easy to come out about his sexuality at age 21 while attending the University of Pennsylvania. Most of us knew openly gay people already. If I was coming from Williamsport or even Scranton, it would have been much more difficult. But having been in an urban environment, it was not that hard, and my family was pretty wonderful, DAngio recalled. He left the church during college, but when he moved to Minneapolis in 1985 to pursue his doctoral degree at the University of Minnesota, he discovered a nurturing and diverse Episcopal congregation in Minneapolis. Inspired by good role models, he entered General Theological Seminary in New York City in 1991 and was ordained in 1994. The majority of DAngios career was spent in Washington, DC, but after finding the congregation at St. Lukes a good fit for his skill set, he moved to the area in 2007, where he has served as rector ever since. I think that Scranton is a more socially conservative and religiously conservative place than I had experienced heretofore. I lived in the major centers of Atlanta, New York, Washington, and Philadelphia. They had a greater diversity, and it seems to me that that lends itself to people being more open, he said. People in this congregation, in the spectrum of Scranton, are still fairly progressive or else they wouldnt have called me to be their rector knowing that I was openly gay. Adjusting to Scranton While he has never felt directly discriminated against because of his sexual identity since coming to Scranton, the now 52year-old pastor has met other gay and lesbian residents who have had a difficult time finding their place in the community. It has been my experience that people here struggle, and they struggle in isolation because theres not a good network of gay and lesbian people. There is no community center, he said. I have people come to me and almost give confessions because they have nobody else to talk to

about this. They dont feel hopeless, but they feel frustrated and they often feel trapped. He finds that many are drawn to the Episcopal faith because of its openness and its familiarity to the largely Roman Catholic population, as much of their mass is similar. I think people come because of the openness and the fact that we do welcome diversity. We dont do it perfectly, but around the issues of human sexuality, were pretty good. In 2003, the first openly gay, non-celibate priest, Gene Robinson, was ordained as a bishop in the Diocese of New Hampshire, which DAngio said caused a lot of consternation both within and outside the Episcopal Church. That set in wave a whole reexamination of, or really brought to a head, the whole issue of human sexuality and how people think about it.
The Rev. Peter DAngio speaks about his personal experiences as an openly gay Episcopalian priest.
In 2009, the Episcopal Church agreed to bless same-sex unions.
Biblical guidance DAngio believes that for Christians, the most important part of the Bible are the words of Jesus, whose central message, he says, was to love thy neighbor as thyself and to love God. The reverend added that Christians should come from an ethic of love, not condemnation when judging others. There are pages in the Bible, both in the Old Testament and in the writing of Paul in his letters in the New Testament, that speak about people giving themselves over to unnatural desires. For those thousands of years of history that the Bible encompasses, there was not a category of human being who was called a gay or lesbian person. It didnt exist in the mindset, DAngio pointed out. The Bible can be

used as a bludgeon on a whole bunch of different issues, not just the sexuality issue. I dont think the Bible is meant to be used as bludgeon; its meant to be used as an invitation to be in a relationship with God, who we find, as Christians, in Jesus Christ. DAngio has been with his partner, Greg, for 20 years. While they are not yet married, family, friends, and members of the community already treat them as if they were. There was no point in (getting married) just to do it. Im blessed with a relationship of 20 years thats survived a lot, and I dont feel the need to do it now. If marriage were to become available in Pennsylvania, speaking for me, although I think Greg would agree, I would absolutely get married, he said. You make a commitment that is as strong as marriage. As the debate over the legalization of gay marriage continues, DAngio said one point is often overlooked. If gay marriage were legalized in the state, a religious exception clause would still allow any religion to decide for themselves whether or not to marry same-sex couples. Im happy that it happened in New York, but Im frustrated that I live in Pennsylvania. I think it opens a larger conversation in places like Iowa and Connecticut and Vermont and hopefully around the countryI hope that this will lead to more states passing this, he said, adding that he also hopes that the New York legislation will encourage further debate of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act. Community support He finds that much of the support of gay and lesbian couples comes largely from younger genSee PRIEST, Page 18

Rabbi Daniel Swartz, spiritual leader of Temple Hesed in Scranton, said that as the world changes, attitudes and religions have changed with it.

CRANTON - Temple Hesed may be Scrantons oldest Jewish congregation, but they pride themselves on their modern and progressive stances on many issues, including the acceptance of gays and lesbians. Rabbi Daniel Swartz, the spiritual leader of the temple since 2006, offered his own views on homosexuality and the role that Judaism has played in both ostracizing and welcoming the gay community.
RaisedasaReformJewandordained as a rabbi in1990, Swartz was always encouraged to question and find new ways to apply old traditions. While attending rabbinic school, he watched as his religion went through drastic changes, allowing women to have a larger role and accepting openly gay clergy. Examining scripture He said his acceptance of homosexuality stems not only comes from his understanding of scripture, but from practical, real-life experience. The more you learn, the more you understand how much thingshavechangedthroughthe ages, Swartz said. Those who argue for traditional marriage, he believes, do not understand those changes. In the Bible, you have patriarchs marrying more than one woman. That was what was common then, and then that changed.Marriage traditions have changed from the Bible, and to say youre doing today what it says in the Bible is actually inaccurate, he explained. With vastly differing opinions of homosexuality existing in the ancient world, Swartz concluded that many contemporary interpretations that outright condemn same-sex relationships are also mistaken. Its relatively clear from the descriptions in the book of Leviticus about homosexuality that its not talking about a committed, two-person relationship. Its talking about something very different, he said. Thesamepenaltyforsomeof these things you get for collectingfirewoodontheSabbath,and I have not really heard a lot of defenseagainstfirewoodcollection on the Sabbath. If theyre doing this because its in the Bible, then theyre not being consistent. He feels that religious critics of the gay community may be missing the Bibles central message. The most frequent commandmentintheOldTestament is to treat the stranger well. This tells you, I think, two things one, thats its really important, and two, that its really hard to do. If something is easy, you dont have to say it over and over again, he argued. One of the people we treat as strangers are those in same-sex relationships, and when you do that,thenyouhaveproblems.Its one step from excluding them, to discriminating against them, to beating them up, to eliminating themIts hard to find BibliSee RABBI, Page 18

Live Nation passes questioned

LACKAWANNA COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
SCRANTON Lackawanna County commissioners deflected questions about their possession of unrestricted access passes to the Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain during a public comment section on Wednesday. Specifically, Republican commissioner candidate William Jones II asked if sitting commissioners had attended any the concerts wearing a Live Nation pass. The passes, he said, were not available for purchase to the public, and he implied commissioners may have used their access for free entertainment which would be a violation of the county code of ethics. I think I have one of those badges that youre talking about, Commissioner Mike Washo said. I also have a badge to get into the 911 Center if theres an emergency. I also have a badge for the airport because we have certain responsibilities for these facilities that require us to be able to have total access. It really isnt sinister. We dont get tickets for concerts. Washo said he was sensitive to such allegations after he and Commissioner Corey OBrien worked to change county government. Youve come to my workplace and the peoples workplace, and youve thrown something out there like a talk show host. Let me tell you, I resent it, he told Jones. Commissioner Bruce Small-
acombe, who took office on June 28, was immediately told that commissioners pay for events they attend, from concerts to prayer breakfasts. We dont ask for special treatment, Smallacombe said. The concert promotion and management agreement with Live Nation is nearing its end. Proposals for the contract at the pavilion are due to the county by 4 p.m. on Aug. 1. Commissioners also addressed further questions about a lease on a Dunmore facility to be used as a morgue that was approved earlier this month. Scranton resident and city controller candidate Ray Nearhood returned after questioning OBrien at the prior meeting about campaign contributions from building owner Paul Woelkers. According to the Federal Election Commission, Woelkers donated $7,960 to campaigns supporting Washo and OBrien along with OBriens 2011 election campaign with Blakely Mayor Jeanette Mariani. Commissioners said the approval of Woelkers proposal was in no way a reflection of his campaign contributions. The person who received it showed so much more of an understanding for what it was we needed, Washo said. This could actually become an income generating proposal. I dont make decisions based on who gave to the campaigns, OBrien added. That is the best proposal, and thats the proposal we approved.
RESOLUTIONS
In other business, commissioners unanimously approved the following resolutions: Children and Youth audits for calendar years 2010 and 2011 were awarded to Joseph M. Alu and Associates, P.C., Spruce Street, Scranton, at a cost not to exceed $15,000 per year. Audit reports are set to be issued on Aug. 30, 2011, and Aug. 30, 2012, according to the contract. According to the Federal Election Commission, Commissioner Corey OBrien received two contributions of $500 each from Joseph M. Alu in Dec. 2009 and May 2010 for his congressional election campaign. A Grant-In-Aid application was submitted to the Pennsylvania Boad of Probation and Parole Department for fiscal year 2011-12. The board has provided aid to the county since 1982, according to Director of Adult Probation and Parole Joe Mecca. The board returned approximately $681,000 to the county last year, which aids the countys general budget. A lease agreement was signed for 2,000 square feet of office rental space at the Moscow Fire and Hose Company, 119 N. Main St., Moscow, from Aug. 1, 2011 to July 31, 2016. Monthly rent will be $1,300 and increase by 3 percent annual to reach $1,463.17 in the fifth year. The request for space was advertised in Feb. 2010, according to Chief of Staff Maria Elkins. A grant was approved from the Lackawanna County District Attorneys Office for $49,963.92 for increased roving patrols to combat driving under the influence; seven DUI checkpoints through Sept. 30, 2012; and six Cops in Shops details to prevent the purchase of alcohol by minors.

In September, officials dropped the weight limit on the bridge from 10 tons to five tons. This agreement is for the utility right-of-way and increased cost that the railway is asking of the initial project, Eastman said. Its 100 percent funded using federal and state funds. The county is the passthrough agency and the payer of the bill. Specifically, the railroad reimbursement agreement splits costs, 80-20, between the state and federal governement. Federal funds total $1,355,369.60 and state funds amount to $250,381.80. In addition, commissioners unanimously approved a sidewalk maintenance agreement for walkways along the bridge that are scheduled to be rebuilt by PennDOT as early as September. The county is liable for the care of the sidewalks and maintenance including snow removal, Eastman said. assets of 30 Borders bookstores out of bankruptcy have fallen through.

Summit resident headed to Afghanistan

AROUND THE ABINGTONS
CLARKS SUMMIT Borough resident Cesar Lopez was set to leave for Afghanistan today, July 31, as part of a nation building effort. Lopez, a native of Los Angeles, Calif., and former resident of Houston, Texas, will serve in a civilian capacity for a year with the Army Corps of Engineers. Lopez originally enlisted in the Army in 1993, following in the footsteps of his older brother, a Marine. He was an Army engineer officer and served in Iraq during the initial invasion in
2003 as part of the 70th Engineer Battalion within the 3rd Brigade 1st Army Division for several months. Lopez left the Army in 2004. I had to choose between my family and the military, Lopez explained. I Lopez chose my family. After living in Houston for four years, Lopez reenlisted in 2009 due to a sense of duty as
part of the Army Corps of Engineers. His work brought him to northeastern Pennsylvania, and his family has lived in Clarks Summit since September 2009. The community has really embraced us, said Lopez. In turn, we have tried to embrace the community as well. His wife, Cathleen, is a Girl Scout leader, and two of his children, Alyssa and Thomas, are involved in scouts. Lopez currently holds a seat on the Abington Regional Water Authority Board. Alyssa and Thomas attend Abington Heights Middle School, while his youngest
daughter, Isabel, attends Our Lady of Peace School in Clarks Green. Lopez has been working at Tobyhanna Army Depot as part of the Philadelphia District of the Army Corps of Engineers. When it was announced that his company would be going overseas to help with nation building, Lopez said he embraced the opportunity. His wife and children have been supportive of his decision. The children have a sense of pride for what Im doing, he said. My wife has been as supportive as ever. Lopez said his wife under-
stands the sense of duty of being in the Army. Her brother is a lieutenant colonel serving in Afghanistan. Lopez also has a younger brother, Gabriel, serving in Afghanistan as part of the 125th Forward Support Battalion. There is a possibility that the brothers could serve in the same area. Outside of his nation building work, Lopez said that he will also conduct infrastructure and waterworks improvements during his year-long tour of service. Upon his return, Lopez said that he will be ready to resume the role of a parent.

HEARTBREAK AT HORSE FARM
AROUND THE ABINGTONS
NEWS
SOUTH ABINGTON TOWNSHIP - Residents of South Abington Township and the surrounding areas along with a widespread community of equine enthusiasts are helping Over The Hill Farm, 445 Carbondale Rd., South Abington Township, recover and rebuild after a July 24 fire that destroyed stables and an upstairs apartment and killed several horses. Chinchilla Hose Company Fire Chief Keith Grierson said at least 21 horses perished in the blaze. At least six made it out of the barn and suffered burns and other injuries. Grierson said two fire fighters were transported to local hospitals due to heat exhaustion and have since been released. One other person was evaluated on the scene, but no other injuries were reported. Grierson said that 13 fire companies and well over 100 fire fighters responded to the call at 6 p.m. Sunday. When they arrived on scene, the structure was engulfed in flames. According to Grierson, an investigation is underway by the Pennsylvania State Police fire marshal. He said that the fire is not considered suspicious, but the cause remains to be determined. Some of the horses were thought to be loose around the Waverly area last Sunday evening, and many members of the community, including Dalton resident Arline Marchlinski, spent the night searching for them. Marchlinski said that when she received a phone call about the fire, she grabbed some towels and a halter and bridle and joined others searching for the animals along back roads. There were a lot of people looking for horses, and everyones faces were drawn and ashen, Marchlinski said. There was such a sense of urgency. Its just devastating. Im sure everyone is in shock. I mean, I dont have a horse that died in the fire and Im in shock. Marchlinski said that her daughter, Meredith Dibert, of Allentown, learned to ride at the

farm owned by Don and Liz Race in the early 1990s. Marchlinski remembered it as a place where the kids worked hard, played hard, and learned, she said. The halter and bridle that Marchlinski brought along with her belonged to her familys horse, Sir Lancer, which died last year. She passed them along to some boys who thought they may have found the missing horses, and is now trying to locate the items, as they carry sentimental value. Shortly after the blaze, a Friends of Over The Hill Farm page was created on the social media website Facebook that gained more than 2,100 supporters as of Thursday morning. Countless posts expressed sorrow over the tragedy, and some included photos of the horses that died Sunday.
HOW TO HELP
Several local businesses are now accepting donations on behalf of Over The Hill Farm, and a fund is also being set up by the Waverly Elementary School PTA to benefit Jesse Sabatelle and his son, who lived in the apartment above the stables. Aberdeen Stables in Madison Township is organizing a horse show to benefit the Over The Hill Farm on Aug. 27, according to Aberdeen trainer Samantha Musante. The event will include classes of English riders, a small western show, and more. According to the Friends of Over The Hill Farm Facebook page, a fund has also been set up for community donations. Residents can send donations to Over the Hill Farm Fire Fund, First National Bank, 125 N. State St., Clarks Summit, Pa., 18411. Donations are also accepted at any First National Bank branch office.

SCRANTON A city man faces charges for allegedly attacking emergency medical workers from Community Medical Center and Lackawanna Ambulance during an incident on July 24. Robert Kitch, 50, of North Main Avenue, Scranton, is charged with three counts each of aggravated assault and simple assault, and one count each of disorderly conduct and criminal mischief. According to the affidavit: Medics brought Kitch into the emergency room on July 24 after he had fallen and hit his head near Keyser Avenue. While in the ambulance, Kitch allegedly began to act out.

Robert Kitch, 50, of North Main Avenue, Scranton, allegedly punched an EMT, struck a nurse and choked an emergency room technician.
Kitch jumped up off of the stretcher, and went after Zaruta. Kitch allegedly swung at Zaruta, striking him in the face and leaving a long scratch. Kitch then struck Tyrell in the nose while swinging his arms. After security tried unsuccessfully to restrain Kitch, Ptlm. Anthony Gieda, who was working extra duty at the hospital, withdrew his taser and placed it on his stomach without deploying the device. He calmed down and was restrained to the bed.
Because of the fall, Kitch had to undergo a CAT scan to check for any possible head injuries. During the procedure, he continued to ignore orders to cease movement and allegedly removed a cervical collar that was placed on him. Emergency room technician Mark Edwards then entered and attempted to replace the collar when Kitch allegedly grabbed him by the throat and started choking him. Gieda tased Kitch on the side of his stomach, which made him release Edwards. He was still fighting while attempting to be restrained, and Gieda stunned him again on his upper leg, at which point Kitch calmed down and completed the CAT scan. An arraignment was held on July 25, and Kitch was released on $10,000 unsecured bail. A preliminary hearing is set for Aug. 3.

Tierney, who at the time was 22, allegedly had sex with the teen before and after the Scranton St. Patricks Day Parade in 2010. Police reports from an in-
terview with the girl indicated that Tierney met her at a Sweet 16 party, and told her he was 17, not 22. She told police that before and after the parade they engaged in various sexual acts. She also stated that Tierney gave her a camera with naked pictures of himself on it and asked her to take nude pictures of herself before returning it. Detectives interviewed Tierney who provided similar information. He added he took pain medication on the day of the parade and claimed that he could not remember if he and Malone had sex. He later admitted to the acts and provided police with a written statement. Tierney was arraigned July 22 and held for $25,000 bail. A preliminary hearing set for Aug. 1 was continued to Aug. 22.

DUNMORE ZONING BOARD
Board approves Billy Bs plans

Man sold heroin to undercover cop
DUNMORE The borough zoning board voted Thursday to approve the creation of a caf and patio at Billy Bs Restaurant and Bar, 138 Smith St., Dunmore. Business owner William J. Barrasse told the zoning board that his plans for the patio include pouring concrete over the existing grass to form and to build a fence separating his establishment from his neighbors. Mary Ann Mafulo, whose house is next door to Billy Bs, voiced con-
cerns over privacy, noise level capacity, and any extended hours of service. Naturally, Im nervous as anyone would be having a caf and patio built right next to your home, Mafulo said. Barrasse assured the board that the six-foot privacy fence, that both he and Mafulo discussed and agreed was necessary, will be constructed around the perimeter of the patio and will make guests at his caf incapable of crossing into her property or seeing into her house. From her side, she would see hedges and somewhere behind
hedges she would see fence, Barrasse said. A person of average height wouldnt be able to see over to her property line. Zoning board members voted three to one in favor of the business improvement with James Tomasetti dissenting. In other business, the board requested that representatives of K and C Childcare, LLC, 204 Sally Dr., Clarks Summit, return to the next zoning board hearing to present their plan to convert a former mortgage company office at 718 E. Drinker St., Dunmore, into a day care facility.
Suspect charged in Scranton stabbing

SCRANTON - Police arrested a man last week for allegedly selling heroin to an undercover police officer.

According to the affidavit: In April 2011, an undercover officer purchased $140 worth of heroin from Emptage, who is known by the street name Ty. On July 26, undercover police, along with the help of a criminal informant, purchased another 10 bags of heroin from Emptage at a home on Hickory Street in Old Forge.

Alleged seizure victim crashed into Birch Street home, police say
SCRANTON City police said a woman allegedly suffered a seizure while driving down Birch Street on Thursday evening, causing her to drive into two parked cars before finally crashing into a house located at 310 Birch Street. There was significant damage to the womans vehicle, a Ford Explorer, and to the area of the house where the collision took place. The two other vehicles suffered mild damage. The whole house shook, Paul Tucker, owner of the house, said.
The porch looks like its been wrecked. No one inside of the house was hurt during Thursdays incident. Police did not identify the crash victims but confirmed that there were two people in the car - the female driver and a young boy. Witnesses said that it appeared the boy was not badly injured, just a bit shaken up. The extent of the drivers injuries, if any, were unknown Thursday night. Both she and the child were taken by ambulance to Community Medical Center for treatment.
SCRANTON City police have charged a suspect in connection with the stabbing of a 20-year-old man in a West Scranton park on July 20. Lester Baldwin, 25, of Locust Street, Scranton, is charged with simple assault, reckless endangerment, disorderly conduct, harassment and aggravated assault for allegedly punching and stabbing Norman Gamble, 20, inside Fellows Park last week. Gamble left a trail of blood as he walked from the park to a home at 1130 Preston Place where he collapsed, police said. Two wounds on his chest required staples and he was cut to the bone of his left bicep, according to police. According to an affidavit: Gamble and Baldwin, known by the street name Juvie, and two other men were gathered at Baldwins home when Baldwin realized he lost $200. The group retraced their steps to help find the cash, and Gamble allegedly said to a man known as Randy that if he found the money he was going to keep it. When the men met at Fellows Park, Randy told Baldwin that Gamble intended to keep the cash, and he began punching Gamble before stabbing him at least three times. Gamble, who originally did not cooperate with a police investigation into the attack, later provided police with a physical description of Baldwin and directions to his Locust Street home. Descriptions of Baldwin matched those given to police during interviews from witnesses at the Preston Place home. Baldwin was arraigned on July 25 and held for $25,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is set for Aug. 3.

When Alan Masters started working independently as a painter, he had already come a long way in his own life. In August of 2010, he decided to make a bold move that would take his career to the next level. Masters, 30, now serves as the president and founder of TradesBowl, an online database that quickly connects homeowners and craftsmen looking for work. The company also has a charitable element, working with contractors and troubled youth programs to give youngsters a fresh start through learning a viable and sustainable trade. For the homeowner, its fast, free, and easy. Its as simple as that, Masters said. Homeowners know that by using TradesBowl, and the contractors know that by being a part of TradesBowl, its helping inside communities through troubled youth. The website is crafted to help all three parties involved. Homeowners can locate reliable contractors while simultaneously giving back to their community by helping children stay away from gang activity and other societal ills. This actually goes towards something that completely benefits the community. Its about having a homeowner having somewhere to go to find these contractors that want to be recognized as

It is also a cost-effective advertising solution for contractors, as TradesBowls most expensive plan breaks down to $1.64 a day for a year. Contractors can write advertising costs off as a donation. Im a painter by trade, so I know what it is to go into homeowners homes and work and work only to catch a bad rap for one or two contractors who do something wrong. For all the good contractors that work hard for a $350, seven-line,14-day little ad, a one-year subscription is a better option for them, Masters noted. Masters hopes youths can be trained with a skill set on which

These are actually trades that pay, that give back to the laborer, to the person that knows that knowledge.They can come out that training with full time jobs.

Judge Harold Thompson dismissed the suit in June 2010, finding Step by Step, which also operates group homes in Luzerne County was immune from the suit. Thompson said Potts had failed to show the staff engaged in gross negligence, which was a required finding to overcome a law that provides immunity to

Evans said that if there is any concern about the loss of revenue, funds can be transferred from the Urban Development Action Grant second repayment account to address those concerns. The final vote was 4-1, with Councilman Bob McGoff dissenting. McGoff previously stated that he sees the Nay Aug pool as a separate entity where a charge is necessary to maintain the pool and the park itself while noting that free swimming is available elsewhere in the city. Additionally, council gave final approval to legislation tabled last month that changes the zoning of a 17-acre plot of land in Minooka where a
The state Superior Court has overturned a Lackawanna County judges ruling that dismissed a lawsuit filed by a womans whose daughter died after allegedly receiving negligent care at an area group home. Pearl Mary Potts of Montrose filed suit against Step By Step Inc. in connection with the February 2008 death of her daughter, Julie, who suffered from cerebral palsy and mental retardation. The suit, filed by attorney Lawrence Finney of Philadelphia, alleged workers at a Step by Step group home in Clarks Summit failed to obtain appropriate medical care for Julie
providers who serve the disabled. The Superior Court overturned the ruling on Friday, July 22. In its decision, the court said there was evidence that staff at the home ignored a clear directive from a nurse who advised them to call her if Potts showed any signs of physical deterioration. The court said it believed that fact could lead a jury to determine the staff was grossly negligent.

erations who dont find sexuality a determining factor in who they choose to befriend. DAngio compared the forward-thinking views he shares with Rabbi Daniel Swartz of Temple Hesed in Scranton. Both St. Lukes and Temple Hesed are progressive faith communities. We share a lot more in common than we do in differences, he emphasized. In addition to supporting local events like NEPA PrideFest and encouraging interfaith discussions, the pastor has also extended a welcoming hand to the city of Scranton, particularly through the art community as a First Friday Scranton venue to help break down barriers with other Christians and non-Christians alike. When I arrived at St. Lukes, the charge that I was given by the vestry was to
open the church to the community. As that rolled along, we came up with a mission statement to spread the Gospel to all people through hospitality, service, and spiritual growth with Gods help, he explained. The nation as a whole is becoming far less religiously observant, so we struggle, like many churches Ive observed, with the question of membership. People are not choosing to affiliate with congregationsSt. Lukes will need to tell its story in a more compelling way. Why is faith, why is coming to worship and being part of a congregation important? For DAngio, a spiritual absence in his life was filled by his return to the faith he was born into one that has accepted him for exactly who he is. Its not about gaining points to get into heaven. Its not about doing a socially acceptable thing anymore, as it was, I think, much more so in the 1950s and 60s. Its about having your faith strengthened and sharing your experiences with others.
DIOCESE STANCE ON GAY MARRIAGE CLEAR

Bill Genello, executive director of communications of the Diocese of Scranton and editor of The Catholic Light, offered the Catholic Churchs views on homosexuality and same-sex unions within their faith in an e-mail on Friday: The Catholic Churchs teaching is explicit: Life is a gift from God and must be respected and protected from the moment of conception. Because human beings are created in the image and likeness of God, we possess an innate human dignity that is worthy of acknowledgement and which must be respected by other persons and by law. The Church does not condone homosexual behavior; nor does it condone prejudicial or abusive behavior for any reason, including sexual orientation. The Catholic Churchs teaching on marriage is equally clear: The Catholic Church does not endorse same sex marriages. Marriage is a natural institution and a sacred union. It is a faithful, exclusive, lifelong union of a man and woman that is open to the awesome responsibility of bringing children into the world and caring for them.

cal stories where God takes the side of the powerful and the wellconnected against the poor. You have stories about protecting the weak, valuing those that society doesnt value. For me, trying to look at that moral obligation, it seems like a no-brainer. Experience is key Oneof Swartzs duties as a rabbi is to counsel married couples and those preparing for marriage, which he found has given him further insight into the same-sex marriage issue. I have not met any couple that said, Our marriage is falling apart because of same-sex relationships being allowed. Its just not an issue. There are lots of reasons that marriage is challenging. A big reason for marital tensions is when things are financially rough, Swartz noted. If government officials want to do something to help marriage, help the economy Regulating whocangetmarrieddoesntseem to have any impact on anyone that Ive ever talked to.

Swartz has performed several same-sex marriages himself outside of the state, though some were purely symbolic and were not legally recognized. It really is hard to make that lifelong commitment. People dont take that lightly, and a lot of people dont do it. If weve got people who really want to, who have been fighting to have a chance to be in a committed relationship, I wanttosay,Congratulations!Mazel tov! Thats a good thing. One of his predecessors was an early advocate within the Reform movementfordealingwithhomosexuality in a more pro-active way. Rabbi Erwin Herman discovered his own son was gay and was forced to radically reassess his own positions. Scranton ready for change The rabbi believes that finding more general acceptance in the area is only a matter of time. Lets be honest people in same sex relationships have not felt welcome in many houses of worship. I think we do explicitly need to say, Yes, here you are welcome, Swartz said. God values everyone. We want people to understand that there are safe places for you to go to in
the faith community. Through those local faith communities, he believes that those who get to know others and see them as a person may alter preconceived notions. Its easy to look at this area and say that its traditional and its not an area thats sort of known for rapid social change. Those are challenges, and there hasnt been an out community here for terribly long and its still more hidden, but I do think that thats changing. In keeping with both this attitude and his openness to interfaith discussion, Swartz said he has become good friends with Rev.PeterDAngio,theopenlygay rector of St. Lukes Episcopal Church in Scranton. Both lived in the same section of Washington, D.C., for years and had never met. They now collaborate by participating in interfaith events as well as NEPA PrideFest in Wilkes-Barre. Supporting gay rights (in Washington, D.C.) is a yawn, but doing it here as a clergyperson makes a difference. It really opens doors to people. We feel its very important to create that welcoming space where there hasnt been.

Lonnie Jordan, a founding member of the band War, will perform with the group at the Scranton Jazz Festival
War is good for Scranton Jazz Festival

War may have made their indelible mark on the American music scene in the 60s and 70s, yet they are still as vibrant and relevant as ever, celebrating their 40th anniversary of the band with performances across the country. The California funk band will headline the 2011 Scranton Jazz Festival on August 5 at The Radisson Hotel, 700 Lackawanna Ave., Scranton. Tickets are $35 and a weekend pass is $55. Founding member Lonnie Jordan, who has served as the bands vocalist as well as its guitarist, piano and synthesizer player, and percussionist, said that they selected their name during the height of the Vietnam War, looking to make a statement that resonated with many of their audiences. Think of us like the group
Rage Against the Machine, except we were raging war against wars. Our weapons were our instrumentsInstead of bullets, it would be musical notes. It would be through rhythms, melodies, and most of all harmony, bringing people together instead of killing people and making mothers cry, Jordan explained, adding that times havent, unfortunately, changed much since their debut. We can come up with a new message every day until we turn purple in the face; nothings going to change. It seems like all we were was just ahead of our time. It was something going on then that we were thinking was going to get better, and it just turned into a fiasco. While people can sometimes focus too much on all the negativity in the world, Jordan said that War has always tried to turn that into something positive.
While the members have rotated over the years, the vibe of the act has always stayed the same. We still feel that our music has some of the best grooves in the world, so we basically call it grooves and messages, he said. We are the people, for the people, by the people. Weve always believed that. Jordan feels proud of all the music in their extensive catalog, finding each to have a distinctive message along with an individual sound. I dont have one particular song at all that sticks out more than the others. I have a lot of fun playing all of them, and I notice the people also give me that same vibe back because were just a reflection of the people, he said. Their song Why Cant We Be Friends? was played across the world during the first joint space
mission by the United States and the Soviet Union, and much of their music has been sampled by other artists and used in countless commercials, television shows, and movies. I am honoredI didnt think that any of this music would be heard after it was recorded. Im still amazed. As Im growing older gracefully, I realize that the music does make sense today because it has a unique style of its own that stands out over a lot of other music thats been played over the years. Im happy for that. One famous single, Low Rider, actually helped inform the world about the unusual car style. Jordan said they sang about lowriders because no one else was talking about them, and when they filmed a movie about rival lowrider groups and traveled the world with it, they solidifying even more fans
through the cultural phenomenon. People were freaking out when they saw these cars that we filmed hopping up and down and scraping. They never saw anything like that. We actually introduced lowriders to the world, he recalled. While the groundbreaking ethnic band was nominated unsuccessfully for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009, Jordan is more appreciate of his fans than any physical award he could receive. My fans are my Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Every time I go play in my own house, which I call my own church, and I see those smiling faces of new and old fans that is my Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. You cant beat that with a bat, Jordan related. Some of Wars most famous

fans even saved his life, he claims. The band would be the last to jam with guitarist Jimi Hendrix the night before he died, Jordan said. The reason why Im still here today, alive and breathing and still playing for my fans is because they all steered me back on the path. Jimi Hendrix died at 27. And then I had the chance to meet one of Erics biggest fans of all, Jim Morrison of the Doors, who loved (original singer) Eric Burdonand he was 27 when he died. Janis Joplin loved Eric, and she was 27 when she died, he explained, also noting the recent passing of singer Amy Winehouse at 27. As the band prepares to release a single in January with an album to follow, Jordan is also contemplating his own

court system there to help others down a more positive path. In my misguided youth, I was able to find guidance through structured trade and at that point was able to jumpstart my life and hope for better things, Masters recalled. If I wasnt given a second chance, who knows where I would have ended up? I wouldnt have been educated the way I am today. Reactions so far from the community regarding TradesBowl, he said, have all been positive, and supply industries from outside the area have called to advertise. Plans are already in place to expand into Lackawanna County. Masters hired his friend Lauren Brasted as a regional solution specialist and recently promoted her to district manager. Upon hearing about TradesBowl, the Scranton
resident immediately felt the company was a good fit for the citys issues. Scranton needs a lot of help. I saw where TradesBowl could really be implemented into this community, where the growth could help stimulate the economy and help rebuild some of those homes that just tarnish the area, Brasted said. She cited the beautiful architecture of buildings in downtown Scranton as a history that she hopes the city can return to. If we can help teach youth how to continue this amount of professionalism and craftsmanship and skill, we can really make this area beautiful and shine again, she said. Both employees debuted their plans with a tent at the Drawcore Skate Park Mural Block Party on July 16 and 17 in West Scranton, and Masters said that he has appointments set up with Scranton Police Chief Dan Duffy and members of city council to see how he can expand more effectively in the area.

Authentic Mexican a short drive away

The only border youll have to cross to eat the finest authentic Mexican cuisine is the Lackawanna County border. La Tolteca on Mundy Street in Wilkes-Barre serves up the flavors of Mexico with precision. My colleague, Dave, and I almost always get in and out of a lunch meeting in 45 minutes or so, and the bill is never over $20.
(And were not small eaters by any means). Once you walk in the building, chances are you will be greeted and seated by owner/ operator, Carlos De Leon. De Leon often moves quickly throughout the restaurant, talking with patrons and making sure their experience is fantastic. Workers deliver a massive basket of tortilla chips served hot with two different types of dipping sauces, to serve as an appetizer. Choosing the best entre is always such a tough decision. I am the type of person who always orders the same thing the number nine, a so I always have a number 9, a beef burrito, beef enchilada, and your choice of rice or beans. I get the rice and normally pour the rest of the dipping sauce from the tortilla chips over the rice. I probably eat the same thing every time because afterward I always say, Thats the best lunch I ever had. Lately, I have been flirting with the idea of ordering something different. Their menu is so deep. All of the lunch specials are offered two different ways, either with
Brownies set for spotlight

Prop from longtime Scranton pizzeria sought by NBC sitcom, The Office
CRANTON Bill Salerno, 52, of Old Forge, is elated that a piece of his fathers pizzeria, Brownies Famous Pizza, will be featured on the upcoming season of the hit TV show The Office. Brownies, located at the corner of 9th Avenue and Luzerne Street, was opened by his father in the 1950s, before Salerno was born. He worked there through college before his father offered him the business. Salerno, a fan of the NBC sitcom, believes that The Office contacted his 60-year-old pizzeria because theyre the oldest family owned pizzeria in Scranton. Brownies is well-known in the area and - as the name says - famous for its beloved food and affordable prices. Its good food. You wouldnt be around for 60 years if you didnt have good food, said Salerno. Restaurants open every year and close every year, but were still here. All ingredients used are fresh and top of the line,

chicken or beef, and theres a hefty list of appetizers and desserts, too. The menu is also very family friendly. My wife and I ate there years ago and were shocked at all they had for our son, Jackie. The kids menu includes tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and standards like cheeseburgers and chicken fingers. They also offer a vegetarian menu with nine different options, and their outdoor patio provides a great atmosphere during the summer months. Their bar includes 11 imported beers and various cocktails, including mojitos and margaritas. Once you visit this restaurant across the border, you will surely make it a routine to go back.

and all of Brownies food is homemade. Original recipes used by Salernos mother and father that are believed to be brought over from Italy are sill used today. Its a really hard business with long hours and hard work. Youve got to really like it and care for it to be successful, Salerno said. I love having customers say, Your pizza is good. The pizzeria gets a lot of positive feedback. Customers that used to live in the area but moved away still come back during holidays. Some people also order trays to take with them back home for friends and family that cant make it to the pizzeria. Salerno said he loves the area and doesnt want to move
or modernize his business. Tradition is important to Brownies recipe for success. Im going to be here as long as I can, until I die. I hope its not tomorrow, Salerno quipped. Hopefully when Im done, Ill pass it on to another family member. I have a daughter and lots of nieces and nephews. Were going to make it to 100 years, and then were going to be around for another 100 years after that.

Kill off Dylan Dog sales

I may already be too late, as the DVD and Blu-ray hit stores July 26, but if I prevent even just one person from seeing Dylan Dog: Dead of Night, I feel that I have done my part as your pop culture columnist of choice. If youve never heard of it, Im not surprise. The movie was one of the biggest box office bombs of 2011. Why they even bothered giving this Bgrade schlock a theatrical release Ill never understand. Now its the studios job to make up the difference through home video sales. Make them learn a hard lesson by skipping this disaster that soils the name of the greatest comic book character youve also never heard of. Dylan Dog takes its name from an Italian horror comic of the same name, one that is well-known worldwide but not in the United States. Introduced in 1986, the titular character lives in London and has dubbed himself a nightmare investigator. The crafty private eye relies more on his wits and charm than his gun and is assisted by Groucho, a former Groucho Marx impersonator. With a perfect balance of comedy, horror, and mystery, the series chronicles the adventures of a superpowerless hero against a wide range of supernatural foes. If youve ever seen an Italian horror film, particularly the early work of directors Dario Argento or Lucio Fulci, you may already be familiar with the look and feel of this comic. Much like Argentos films, the comic is both visually stunning and unusually horrifying, and the writing is both unpredictable and page turning. For those that are intrigued, I must also suggest seeing Dellamorte Dellamore, a 1994 Italian horror comedy that was renamed Cemetery Man in the United States. It is based on a novel written by the creator of Dylan Dog, Tiziano Sclavi, and as such, the protag-

onist, Francesco Dellamorte, is a very similar character to Dylan. For all of the merits of that movie, I can probably list many more flaws in Dylan Dog: Dead of Night. Its sad that Dellamorte Dellamore, a film not directly based on Dylan Dog, is actually closer to the look and feel of that comic than Dead of Night. The supposed direct adaptation isnt anything that Ive described earlier, such as clever or unpredictable, and its so artistically bland that the hack director didnt even think to lift its visual style from its Italian roots. In fact, no effort was made to get anything right about Dylan at all, as his lines are far from witty and he makes such obvious errors in judgment that its hard to believe that hes an investigator of any kind. He is stripped of his heritage, and his womanizing, yet romantic charisma is replaced by, well, nothing. Dylan Dog is one thing, however - boring. I dont mind low budget filmmaking, but this film attempts to be bigger than it is, and it comes off looking like a lost episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Brandon Routh, better known as the last actor to portray Superman on the big screen, fails to capture the slightest hint of the original Dylan. Instead of introducing Dr. Xabaras, our heros greatest enemy in the comics, were instead given Taye Diggs as an evil vampire and a few computer-generated monsters that are disposed of quickly. If I havent effectively expressed just how lame this is, let me quote an actual line from one of the bad guys: Its dying time! It hurts just to type it. While the hackneyed plot of Dylan investigating the murder of his clients father and getting

in over his head is certainly painful enough, what really had me squirming in my seat were all the visual references tossed in for fans. A Marx poster hangs on the wall of Dylans apartment near a picture of him wearing a Groucho Halloween costume, and a clarinet, which Dylan plays in the comic to help himself think, sits on a desk in the background. These were scattered throughout the film, I assume, to give fans a wink and a nod, but it instead feels like a rude hand gesture knowing full well that they were aware of the comics conventions and chose not to include them in a meaningful way. In 2009, Dark Horse published the only official English translation readily available in bookstores, The Dylan Dog
Case Files. It contains seven reprinted stories with additional cover art, serving as an accessible and affordable alternative to hiring a personal translator. If Dead of Night had succeeded on any level, this may have encouraged Dark Horse to publish more stories for those of us not fluent in Italian, but the movie will probably only serve to drive people away from a character they assume to be insipid and clich. For less than it would cost you to buy a DVD or Blu-ray, you can instead purchase this graphic novel, which I guarantee will be the greatest entertainment purchase you make this year, next to just about anything else thats not this movie.

Tyler Hughes hit Ray Dominguez with an 8-yard touchdown pass with 1:52 left in the first quarter to give the City a 7-0 lead. The pass completed a 13-play, 81-yard drive that took 7:21 off the clock on the Citys first possession. Hughes went 5-for-5 for 52 yards, including a 22-yarder to Nick Bell during the drive. Peter Calderone added the kick. James Fruehan ran 1 yard for the County with 10:24 left in the half to create a 7-7 tie. The County answered the Citys score by moving 70 yards in 10 plays. The County overcame first-and-25 when Corey Talerico ran 24 yards and Fruehan ran 15 on consecutive plays. Josh Harrison added the kick. Hughes ran 1 yard for a 13-7 lead with 4:42 left in the first half. After pinning the County deep, the City took over at the 36. Hughes passed 35 yards to Frankie DePietro on the first play and scored on the next. The kick failed. Greg Sporko caught a 15-yard pass from Hughes for a 19-7 lead with 7:57 left in the third quarter. Hughes ran or passed on all but one play in the seventh-play, 51-yard drive that was aided by a 15-yard personal foul penalty against the County. A pass play for the conversion fell short.

SCRANTON Greg Sporko was prepared for a relatively quiet night in the 77th annual Dream Game. As the only other back in many sets, Sporko could picture a night of protecting quarterback Tyler Hughes and making a few runs into the line to keep the County defense honest. I was actually under the impression that I wasnt going to do much in this game, said Sporko, the North Pocono fullback, who caught a touchdown pass, intercepted a pass and was his teams third-leading rusher while helping the City to a 19-7 vic-

After Hughes dominated the first half to give the City a 13-7 lead with a perfect passing performance, it was Sporko who took over. Sporko took a hit in the left flat and kept running on the way to a 15-yard touchdown reception from Hughes with 7:57 remaining in the third quarter for the only touchdown of the second half. Not only did he provide the in-
surance touchdown that enticed City coach Nick Donato to return to his conservative roots while protecting the lead, Sporko became a prominent part of the ball-control approach that sealed the victory. Sporko had six of his eight carries in the final 18 minutes while finishing with 27 yards rushing. He also caught another pass for 12 yards while

producing three of the first downs that helped the City to a 15:09-8:51 time of possession lead in the second half. When he wasnt helping the City take time off the clock, Sporko was taking the ball away from the County. North Pocono teammate Nick Bell tipped a pass that Sporko then intercepted on the third play of the fourth quarter to stop a County drive that had reached the City 33. Sporko was part of a strong North Pocono contingent that supported Hughes in creating an effective offense. Frankie DePietro led the City with three catches for 52 yards while Sporko and Bell each caught two for 27. Tackle Peter Calderone was responsible for pass protection on Hughes blind side on a night when the only County sack came for just a one-yard loss on the second play of the game. While the County boasted
players from the championship teams put together by Riverside, Abington Heights and Lakeland, the City thrived on contributions from North Pocono, West Scranton and Dunmore, three winning teams that had their moments but came up short of championships. We just had a bunch of great guys on this team, Sporko said. It was a pleasure playing with all of them, especially Tyler Hughes, who is a great quarterback. The whole team did a great job tonight. It was an honor to play with all of them in the last game of my career. Chris Isbitski, who started at defensive end, completed the North Pocono contingent. Hughes finished 9-for-13 passing for 118 yards and two touchdowns while running for a team-high 67 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries. One of his touchdown passes came to West Scranton teammate Ray Dominguez, an 8-yarder in the first quarter to start the scoring. Ian Lotz was the leading tackler on the City defense, which also got help from Invaders Ty-
rek Matthews and Tim Langan. Lotz had nine tackles and an assist while also breaking up a pass. Dunmore defensive tackle Joe Sabia was the only player in the game with two tackles for losses. He had a total of three tackles and two assists. They were extremely fast, Sabia said. They had good kids who tried to bounce it out to the outside. Our defensive ends tried to keep it contained and tried to flush it back inside. The inside guys were just waiting for them and thats when we had our time to strike. Jimmy Pichariello carried a game-high 14 times and was second on the City in rushing with 41 yards. Dunmore teammates Jerry Hubshman, in the offensive line, and Morgan Holmes in the defensive backfield, also contributed to the win. Holmes came up on a thirdand-two play and stopped a sweep for an 8-yard loss, the biggest loss of the game. He also made another tackles, assisted on three others and broke up a pass.

SCRANTON Nick Donato had never coached a shot-gun offense. Im really not a gun guy, Donato said. Then again, Donato never coached a quarterback with the skill set possessed by West Scrantons Tyler Hughes.

The Scranton Chapter of PIAA Football Officials, which presents the award, had seen something special in Hughes. So had Donato,
as a new opponent while coaching the Scranton Prep team that bumped up from Division 2 to Division 1 of the LFC last year. Donato, aware of his Dream Game assignment, wanted to know if he could expect Hughes to participate in the game, which has had increasing trouble holding on to some of its college recruits in recent years. When Hughes told Donato that he would not think of missing it, the City coach was able to start developing a plan. James Fruehan, the all-state defensive back from Abington Heights who was one of the clear
County leaders Wednesday night, said the lack of players who had actually seen what Hughes could do may have been one of the teams biggest downfalls in the 19-7 loss to the City. Unbeaten Abington Heights destroyed West Scranton, 62-14, in the toughest game of Hughes senior season, then barely held on against him in an epic, 28-21 battle for the District 2 Class AAA title. I knew coming in that it was a problem when we only had two teams that even played against

Tyler, Fruehan said. You cant preach enough about how he plays. You have to see it. I was talking to guys up front about how youve got to contain him. The moves that leave pursuing pass rushers, asking where did he go? combine with a strong and accurate arm that can get the ball deep and out to the sideline in a hurry. A lack of height Hughes is 5-11 kept him from being a major college recruit, but the rest of the skills make him an interesting prospect at Cortland State and its strong Division III program, which includes offensive coordinator Greg Roskos, another West Scranton graduate. The secret of the Dream Game is that the team with the most stars a description that fit the County Wednesday

night does not always have the advantage. Putting a football team together in two
weeks creates some surprising results when one side comes into the game with something
to prove, bonds together quickly or discovers a system that fits the talent on the roster. Donato picked the perfect system to make that happen for the City, going often with a shot-gun, single-back attack similar to what Hughes ran for the Invaders. The City certainly had other contributors, including strong line play and a deep group of receivers, but perhaps more than any time in Dream Game history, this was a team built around the talents of one player. The entire offense was designed to emphasize Hughes unique blend of running and passing talents. We were short on tailbacks, Donato said. The whole thing was with Tyler. We watched him all year long. We really decided to put the ball in his hands. Donato received some tips from Tommy Hughes, Tylers older brother and West Scran-
tons offensive coordinator last season, on running the offense that helped the City build its lead. It clicked as soon as we got to practice, Tyler Hughes said. They had all the speed and more athletes, but our line handled them well. That line gave Hughes room to do what he does best. In its first drive the City managed five first downs and a touchdown. Hughes ran or passed for each one. By halftime, Hughes was 6-for-6 passing. We spread it out and let Tyler run and throw, Donato said. With the City protecting a two-touchdown lead, Hughes ran just twice and threw only one time in the final 14 minutes. By then, Hughes had already done his share in helping to decide the outcome of the game.

Win snaps City-County tie
CRANTON James Fruehan of Abington Heights and Brandon Souryavong of Old Forge each turned in strong performances for the County in a losing effort Wednesday night during the Citys 19-7 Dream Game victory at Memorial Stadium.
NEWS
Fruehan had his teams only touchdown on a 1-yard run, led the County in receiving, shared the lead in rushing and also contributed on defense. Souryavong led all defensive players from both teams. Fruehan had the games longest run, a 26-yarder, and picked up 57 yards on eight carries. He caught three passes for 23 yards and returned a kickoff 25 yards. Just to play in the game, let alone score a touchdown, was an experience that really meant a lot to me, Fruehan said. Souryavong made nine tackles and assisted on four other. One of his tackles was for a loss and forced a fumble at the same time. BIG PLAYS Souryavong made the most plays defensively, but the City made a series of big plays that allowed it to be in command most of the way despite just a 259-247 advantage in total offense. The City forced a fumble at its 19 to stop the County on the games first possession. The County had third-and-2 from the City 48 with less than two minutes left in the first half while trailing,13-7. As Fruehan started a sweep to the left, Dunmores Morgan Holmes raced up from the secondary to make a tackle for an eight-yard loss. The County had fourth-andtwo from the same spot in the first two minutes of the second half. Nick Marco got into the backfield to slow Fruehan, allowing Scranton Preps Corey

It was just that we could not execute in crucial situations, Fruehan said. You cant have a fumble when youre going in and youve got to convert on fourth down. SITTING OUT Delaware Valleys Max Gonzalez had earned a starting spot for the City before suffering a leg injury that left him on crutches for Wednesdays game. Lakelands Derrick Hanley was off to a strong start for the County before leaving the game with an ankle injury suffered on his first carry of the second quarter. Hanley carried four times for 25 yards and made a pair of tackles.
Pat Watson, a City lineman from Holy Cross, also left with an ankle injury in the second half. ONE-TIMERS Old Forges Kyle Eigen was an honorary member of the County team. Eigen suffered a serious spinal injury as a freshman football player, but remained with the Old Forge program throughout his time in high school despite not being able to play. The Scranton Lions Club, which promotes the game to benefit programs to prevent blindness, honored former Lakeland coach Ray Caucci as its Man of the Year at halftime. The game drew a paid crowd of 6,796. The Citys win allowed it to break a tie and take a 37-36-4 lead in the series. The City has won two straight, three of the last four and seven of the last nine.
More than 90 teams in 14 divisions are taking part in the Backcourt Hoops/Lackawanna County 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament this weekend at PNC Field in Moosic.

Paterno still mum on QB starter

By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com
Penn State Coach Joe Paternon had no timetable on Thursday for naming a starting quarterback between junior Matt McGloin, of West Scranton, and sophomore Rob Bolden. I think well be better (at the position), Paterno said. Whether were gonna be good enough, I dont know. Everybody seems to be enthused. At age 84, Paterno addressed reporters during the Big Ten media day at the Hyatt Regency on Thursday and looked to be in much better shape than last year. I feel a lot better than I did a year ago, Paterno said. I had
(a few) tough years physically. The kid from Wisconsin running into me in the sideline, when I broke my knee that time. Then I threw my hip out showing off, trying to show the kids how to kick a football. I couldnt kick when I was healthy I sure as hell couldnt kick with a broken knee. But I feel good. Im back to doing a lot of things I used to do, walking a lot more. Ive been watching what I eat. I feel good. Enough that he gave reporters in Chicago his standard line of wanting to coach four or five more years which has been the case for the past 24 or 25 years.

Buffalo breaks SWB win streak

T
he Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre Yankees put together a season-high, six-game International League winning streak before losing a wild game in Buffalo Friday. Starting pitcher Andrew Brackman never allowed a hit in Fridays 8-5 loss to the Bisons. Brackman, however, was hurt by nine walks and two wild pitches.
PROFESSIONAL SPORTS ROUNDUP
Buffalo broke through for five runs in the fourth inning once Brackman was replaced by Eric Wordekemper. Three of the runs were charged to Brackman. The Yankees (57-48) started Saturday four games behind the North Division-leading Lehigh Valley IronPigs and two games behind the second-place Pawtucket Red Sox. Jorge Vazquez homered in four of five games from Monday to Friday, going 7-for-22 (.318) with seven runs, nine RBI and hits in each game during that stretch. Vazquez homered, Luis Nunez had three hits and Jordan Parraz scored three times Thursday in a 6-3 win over Buffalo for the last game of the streak. FOOTBALL When the National Football League settled its labor issues this week, it meant that Scranton native Mike Munchak, the last coached hired in the league this season, could finally get to work molding his first team as a head coach. I have been in the players shoes, and I know they are eager to get started and I look forward to being able to interact with them again, Munchak said, according to the Associated Press.
