Cast of friends a welcome surprise

Anyone who worked, or at least did their best to, this week knows how difficult it was to maintain some semblance of a traditional method to the 9-to-5 madness. But my Friday night interview, featured this week in the arts section, put an end to all of the deadline dreading and headline hating I developed after sleeping in a bit that morning and having my routine wrecked with Thursdays Thanksgiving holiday. I spent about an hour at the Providence Playhouse with the cast of DGM Productions Avenue Q. Like most modern news tips, I learned the show

What I didnt expect was having some connection with six of the 11 cast members. Three former fellow improvisational comedy troupe friends, a fellow West Scranton High School student, another former Keystone College classmate,
and my best friends girlfriend are among those who will portray the misguided monsters and puppet people in the adult version of Sesame Street when the curtain rises this weekend. It was a welcome sight, even for a 7 p.m. assignment that I booked for myself as my wife worked a late retail shift on Black Friday. Seeing people who I knew in strictly separate circles working together in the theater was incredible, even when they werent flawlessly mastering their puppeteer skills. Coincidences like that make me thankful that I report on the events and people of my hometown. In an unfamiliar place, thered be new names to learn and new places to get lost
while traveling to. That wasnt the case on Friday. Sometimes, being so close to your subject matters can be tough, like when the salutatorian of your high school class faces criminal charges or your senior class president starts representing some of the criminals that you report on. This was nothing like that. While this column may show bias to the people who I share a connection with, consider this disclosure as my apology if you feel it leaks into the story itself. Sometimes, your friends can appear in the paper and not in the police blotter. I was fortunate to be reminded of that this week for the first time in a long time.

THE UNIQUE SOUND OF SUCCESS

ECKVILLE Robert L. Brennes small business is an experiment in both commercialism and functional art. Brenne, 24, of Peckville, founded Artistic Amplification in August.
Peckville small biz owner uses heavily commercial weekend to promote one-of-a-kind amplifiers
NEWS
The small, online business operated from his parents home repurposes common and sometimes collectible items and turns them into amplifiers for electric guitars or MP3 players and other audio devices. It actually kind of happened on a whim, Brenne said, recalling a do-it-yourself project online where the posts author turned a beer can into a guitar amp. I kind of wanted to see if I could do it, just as a challenge. After a crash course in soldering from his father, Robert W., and a few failed attempts, Brenne mastered a Ruby amp circuit developed by www.runoffgroove.com and a business was born. Since August, hes turned lunchboxes, Japanese vases, and more into audio-driven artworks. Each guitar amp, which Brenne said are ideal for practice or travel, is fitted with volume and gain knobs, runs on 9volt batteries, and includes small repurposed speakers. Its surprising for being about a half watt how loud they really are. You can get clean sounds or put the distortion on, Brenne said while plugged into an old rotary phone with his Fender Stratocaster. The thing that I think is unique is, depending on if its plastic or wood or where the speaker is, they all sound a bit different, he said. An old Pac-Man thermos, for example, muffles sound for a more bluesy feeling, or you can remove the lid for a brighter tone. Another, built from an old Ouija board, was sent to Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett to match one of his famed ESP axes. They have it hanging in their headquarters, Brenne said proudly. Having played guitar as a hob-

by and listened to a wide range of artists for years, Brenne felt building one-of-a-kind amps was a great way to stay connected to music without having to become a career musician. By modifying the circuits he was building, Brenne has also built auxiliary amps to act as a speaker dock for MP3 players and other audio devices through an auxiliary cable. One such auxiliary amp, constructed from Brennes own Super Nintendo console, is actually turned on by using the systems original power switch. Its a good way to double the market. People who dont play guitars would also find them interesting, he said. While he considers himself a small business, hes not beholden to small business tactics. Brenne dropped prices for the unique amps in honor of Black Friday, was set to give away one built from a cigar box through an online contest on Small Business Saturday, and planned to keep prices low at least through Cyber Monday.

I always thought it would be fun to have your own business, but I always had the problem of deciding what type of business I would start. I came across this
idea, and I really enjoy making them, he said. Im not the first person to make an amp out of something strange, but I think Im the first one to do it on this level. Hopeful that Artistic Amplification is something that people will go nuts over, Brenne takes the most resolve in the creative process. If worse comes to worse, Im stuck with 15 amps that I think are cool, he said with a laugh.

Machete-wielding woman stopped by Chief Duffy

Duffy crosses paths with woman twice in two months.
Efficiency, effectiveness cited as reasons to keep operations
SCRANTON Chief Dan Duffys Sunday morning yard work was interrupted by a woman who allegedly screamed obscenities near his home and later chased a man while swinging a machete. According to an affidavit: Duffy, who was off-duty on Sunday morning and raking leaves, heard the Fword yelled several times from the nearby Hotel Luzerne, 1708 Luzerne St., Scranton. As he got closer, the chief recognized the man being screamed at as Ronald Minnick. Minnick allegedly threw something toward the woman and shattered the front driver-side window of her Jeep. Duffy then saw a woman, later identified as Kayleigh Saltry, 22, of Meridian Avenue, Scranton, chase after Minnick with what appeared to be a machete. Minnick allegedly fled inside the Hotel Luzerne, and Saltry began swinging the weapon wildly, striking the door several times before smashing a side window with it. Duffy drew his firearm and ordered the woman to the ground. She continued screaming out of control while kneeling on the ground. Saltry should not have been at the Hotel Luzerne because, according to Minnick, she had a protection from abuse order against him. Minnick told police that he threw a rock towards Saltry in an effort to get her out of here. The couples small child was seated in the vehicle at the time. Saltry was set to be charged with terroristic threats, reckless endangerment, simple assault, disorderly conduct, and possession of a controlled substance for alleged possession of Xanax. Saltry was arraigned Nov. 20 and held for $10,000 bail. All charges are pending, and a preliminary hearing is set for Nov. 29. The woman had pleaded guilty on Oct. 19 for another incident where she was charged by the then-off-duty chief. Saltry and Kashona Sartin, 20, of Scranton, were among five women fighting in a parking lot in the 600 block of Luzerne Street on Oct. 3. Duffy helped stop the fight after he heard it while filling his gas tank at a nearby Turkey Hill station.

Post office backers deliver case

are doing a fantastic job There is not a negative thing to say about the productivity or efficiency of the facility, McAdams said. The postal service is in a situation where we as an agency are surviving paycheck-to-paycheck. If we were a Fortune 500 company, we would be forced to declare bankruptcy. Scranton facility employees - some of whom previously worked at a similar facility in Wilkes-Barre that was closed in 2009 came to defend work that they said is more efficient and cost-effective than that which is done in Allentown. Many cited an August 2010 report by the Office of the Inspector General for the USPS as proof that the service can save money by keeping jobs in Scranton. According to figures distributed by employees, the 2010 study shows that Scranton has a lower rate of delayed mail delivery - 4.2 percent over 7 percent - and a lower cost of processing mail - $17.87 versus $24.16 - than Lehigh Valley. The same 2010 report shows Scranton as having improved overall efficiency of 20 percent versus 4 percent. Employees and local officials want

REP. MURPHY RESPONDS
SCRANTON - As the U.S. Postal Service aims to adapt to a changing business climate, post office officials are studying the impact of consolidating a number of mail processing facilities in Pennsylvania,includingtheoneonStafford Avenue in Scranton. For the approximately 300 employees who work at the facility, Tuesday evening offered a chance to voice their opinions and concerns about the move and tout the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of the Scranton facility. Approximately 400 people were at Scranton High School as representatives from the Central Pennsylvania District of the U.S. Postal Service held a required public meeting on the proposed closing of the Scranton mail processing facility. Kevin McAdams, Central Pennsylvania District Manager for the U.S. Postal Service, said moving operations to Allentown is part of a series of proposed changes that shift from an overnight service standard toward a two-to-threeday service model. The proposal is still being studied by senior administrators. Employees at the Scranton facility
The following excerpts were taken from a letter from Pennsylvania Rep. Kevin Murphy, D-Scranton, to the United States Post Office Central Office on Nov. 23: On behalf of the constituents of the 113th Pennsylvania Legislative District, I express strong opposition to the proposed closing of the Scranton Mail Processing and Distribution Facility and the transfer of these services to a facility in the Lehigh Valley. First and foremost among my concerns is the potential impact this could have on our areas economy. I am deeply concerned about the workers who will lose their livelihoods and the businesses that will experience slower mail service. Now is not the time to eliminate jobs and create delays for businesses that could cost thousands, if not millions, of dollars. I also am concerned that citizens, and in particular senior citizens, will experience delays in receiving Social Security checks, medical payments, mail-order medicines, and other important mail. I realize the United States Postal Service is experiencing substantial financial difficulties, but I fail to see how closing this facility will make the Postal Service more efficient over the long-term. On behalf of my constituents and all residents in northeastern Pennsylvania, I urge the USPS to keep this facility in Scranton.

Budget with hike passes, 2-1

Smallacombe speaks out against plan
LACKAWANNA COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Scranton scuba instructor facing child porn charges

SCRANTON - Commissioner Bruce Smallacombe voted Wednesday against the countys 2012 budget that calls for a 38 percent tax and provided some heavy criticism in a prepared letter and remarks after the meeting. We have overspent by $250,000 for various projects. The county has also sold most of its remaining assets, Smallacombe wrote. The majority has also hired 109 new full time (sic) employees since 2008. Smallacombe said following the meeting that not enough has been done over the last four years of this administration to correct problems and find solutions. I feel strongly that the taxpayers are getting a very high increase at this time, and its going to be tough to absorb, he said of the tax hike. The budget, which raises taxes to a total of 55 mills, passed upon second reading, 2-1, Wednesday
morning. A mill is a $1 tax on every $1,000 of assessed property value. Smallacombe, who was appointed in June to fill a vacancy created when former commissioner A.J. Munchak resigned his seat following a guilty verdict in his public corruption case, said he would use his final month in office to continue to examine the budget for additional changes. Ive cut almost $1 million that I can foresee. Over four years, thats $4 million, and thats just in the week since I got the budget last Thursday, he said. The commissioners have actually agreed with me. I think youll see some of these changes moving forward. In other business, commissioners approved: Provider contracts worth a total of $220,896 for the Department of Human Services by unanimous vote. The allocation of the HSDF fund represents a 37 percent drop in funding from last year, according to Director of Hu-
man Services William Browning. Children and Youth Services provider contracts worth a total of $498,250 by unanimous vote. A cooperative grant agreement with the commonwealth Department of Aging and an Aging Medicaid Waiver program with PDA and the state Department of Public Welfare were unanimously approved. Browning said the grants represent all funding for a period of four years for services related to the Area Agency on Aging. The food service bid for the Lackawanna County Prison was awarded to CBM Managed Services, Inc., North Sioux Falls, S.D, by unanimous vote. Deputy Director of Purchasing Jim McLaine said CBM was among the five respondents submitting bids and was selected based on pricing, menu quality, and references. The new contract will create an estimated $250,000 savings as it adds fresh foods and more proteins to the menu. The bid was also approved later Wednesday by the county prison board.
New info on prison to reach grand jury

SCRANTON Lackawanna County District Attorney Andy Jarbola said Wednesday that he will not pursue criminal charges against guards terminated following the escape of murderer Michael Simonson on Sept. 28, but information gathered during an investigation into the escape could be brought before a grand jury in the near future. Following the conclusion of the countys monthly prison board meeting and a brief executive session on Nov. 23, Jarbola said that a Department of Corrections report outlining deficiencies at the Lackawanna County Prison would have impeded a legal case against at least two guards. Former Sgt. Brian Cwalinski and corrections officers Richard Pitoniak, Kevin Dolphin, and Michael Zemantauski were terminated on Oct. 7. Two of those guards, who Jarbola did not name, have accepted their termination, he said.
There are two other (unrelated) guards that may have affected the judgment of the guards actions because they did or did not do certain things. The warden is dealing with them in a very severe disciplinary nature. It didnt rise to the level of criminal conduct, he added. Information gathered since the Sept. 28 escape adds new details to another investigation that began before Simonson broke out of the prison and stole a utility truck. This investigation was opened up a little before the escape. As a result of questioning inmates and other guards, it added more information. Were in a position that were going to bring it before our grand jury or potentially do a joint investigation with federal authorities, Jarbola said. Overtime skyrockets Overtime at the Lackawanna County Prison was up because of a project to repair fencing following Simonsons escape and negotiated
sick leave, Warden Robert McMillan said. For the last 21 pay periods overtime had averaged $48,170.26, but it climbed to $89,897.36 and $94,305.04 in the last two pay periods. A lot of it was attributed to the escape, the additional security measures that were put in place, and the additional fencing project which is almost near completion now, McMillan said. But the far biggest contributor to overtime costs is the county benefit system, he said Its 20 sick days every year, McMillan said. This stuff needs to come back down to the real world here, Commissioner Corey OBrien said. This is having a difficult impact on our operations. The current prison employee contract doesnt expire until 2012 and, until then, the warden hopes to trim overtime with recent hires that will fill up to 13 vacancies.
SCRANTON - A professionally accredited scuba diving instructor was charged Tuesday by the Lackawanna County District Attorneys Office with a single count of possession of child pornography. Keith Mel Murphy, 62, of River Street, Scranton, was charged after a nearly yearlong investigation spurred by a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. According to an affidavit: Lackawanna County detectives received a tip about possible child exploitation in Dec. 2010 concerning several uploaded images of child porn from a live.com email address. The target had also been reported in numerous CyberTipline reports. Using a variety of searches on social networks and through several search engines, detectives tracked profiles on Tagged, Yahoo, and MySpace to Murphy using his alleged email addresses. Detectives visited Murphys home in June. At that time, Murphy told investigators that he used his computer to run his business as a training director, examiner and dive medic instructor with the Professional Diving
Instructors Corporation International. Investigators then told him about the various reports regarding the trading of images of nude boys, and he acknowledged that he does use the computer and internet (sic) for those types of searches. He also allegedly told officials that he has been homosexual his whole life, has an attraction to teenage boys, and that he didnt believe there was anything wrong with searching for explicit images of teen boys on the Internet. Detectives allegedly discovered a single image of a nude boy, estimated to be 9 years old, on Murphys computer. When told about the image, Murphy allegedly responded, OK, Ill give you that one. A further forensic search completed in October revealed no other images. It did, however, discover remnant posts of his Internet activity including Google searches and search suggestions for trading nakeds (sic) photos of boys, child molestation, and pedophilia. Murphy was arraigned Nov. 22 and held for $25,000 bail. All charges are pending, and a preliminary hearing is set for Nov. 30. National Association of Letter Carriers Branch 17 in Scranton, took aim at a large congressionally mandated payment as the reason behind the proposed consolidations. Yes, the postal service is in financial trouble, but thats because of a $5.8 billion payment we have to make every year for our future retirees benefits, Gavin said. We are actually prefunding benefits for people who arent even born yet. Postal officials stressed that the proposals are still under review, and that a decision is not expected until late December or January.

Council approves borrowing, balks at PEL plan

By RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com
PEL suggests 70 percent hike through 2015

SCRANTON City Council unanimously passed the first reading of an ordinance to petition the Court of Common Pleas of Lackawanna County for permission to fund unfunded debt not to exceed $6.7 million to close the citys 2011 operating budget deficit on Tuesday. Council President Janet Evans said the move was a result of the administrations incomplete audit for 2010 which provided difficulty in attracting bids for 2012 Tax Anticipation Notes. Council solicitor Boyd Hughes said he drafted a new paragraph in the legislation to specify that the $6.7 million shall only be used by the city to pay for 2011operating expenses and payments required to be made on the citys outstanding indebtedness and cannot be used for any other purpose unless it was approved by council. Council also reacted extensively to Mondays release of the Pennsylvania Economy Leagues 2011 revised and updated Recovery Plan. Arriving on the heels of the
mayors 2012 budget, this places the plan in an increasingly questionable light, particularly since its proposed 42 percent tax hike seems to make the mayors 29 percent appear more reasonable than it is, she said, referring to Mayor Chris Dohertys proposed 2012 budget. PELs plan recommends a 42 percent real estate tax increase and further employment cuts, along with maintaining close to the current level of 129 fire fighters. Evans called it a piecemeal effort. I am amazed by the arrogance of PEL and DCEDThey led Scranton down the path to financial destruction in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, and what is their solution now? Theyre handing the taxpayers of Scranton a bag of bills they actively helped to create to the tune of a 42 percent tax today, and overall, a 70 percent tax increase I will never give my approval to this plan as it stands, Evans stated. Councilman Bob McGoff said that he felt that neither PELs plan nor the mayors proposed budget was a workable plan. I think both would need revi-
sion, and Im probably saying something that we all know, but I think that the answeris one that will come through cooperation and compromise through all three parties involved in this, McGoff said. International Association of Fire Fighters Local 60 President and Scranton Fire Lt. Dave Gervasi clarified while speaking in front of council that the revised plan and the mayors proposed budget do not address the over $20 million in court awards due to unions after an Oct.19 Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling, so the unions cannot be blamed for any 2012 tax increases suggested by PEL or the mayor. Nelson Ancherani, recording secretary for Fraternal Order of Police E.B. Jermyn Lodge No. 2, said that PEL could not be trusted to help the city considering their dismal record over the past 19 years. The city declared Act 47 distressed status in 1992. Evans also made clear that councils hands are tied concerning the elimination of 29 fire department positions because the court ruled in 2011 that they mayor has the right to cut them.
Scrantons appointed Act 47 coordinator, the Pennsylvania Economy League, released its long-awaited 2011 revised and updated Recovery Plan on Monday, Nov. 21, mandating the city to increase real estate taxes 42 percent in 2012, reduce wages, and make further employment cuts, among other directives. The city declared distressed status in 1992. PEL estimates that Scrantons projected operating budget deficit will increase from $6.1 million in 2011 to$15.6millionin2015,withthe cityscumulativeoperatingbudget deficit for 2011through 2015 projected to be $63.1 million. PELs 2002 revised Recovery Plan was implemented within
anenvironmentofextensivelitigation and delays that have prevented many of their recommendations from being implemented. Under 2012 expenditure mandates, PEL has asked the city to reduce non-employee departmental expenses by 5 percent, reduce the police and fire departments by one employee each, decrease base salaries and base hourly wages were applicable, reduce the Parks and Recreation budget by 25 percent and pursue an increase in payments in lieu of taxes that will be dedicated to park maintenance, increase employee contributions to health insurance, and find cost savings through intergoSee PEL, Page 8

The district could only raise taxes by 2.1 percent based on an adjusted index provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Education.

Public hearings on the budget are set for Dec. 12 at 7 p.m. at West Scranton High School and Dec. 15 at 7 p.m. at Whittier Elementary School. Personnel changes The district hired five individuals Tuesday evening including three new positions to be funded through a surplus in the districts technology budget. Jeff Brazil, current director of DPW for the city of Scranton, was hired as the new director of facilities and grounds as Joseph Slack was appointed the maintenance day shift foreman. New positions created were awarded to AV Technician Phil Hinton, IT Technician Ronelle Barrett, and Inventory Control Technician Justin MacGregor. Barrett bears no relation to School Director Nathan Barrett. The appointments passed, 6-0, as Director Chris Phillips left the meeting during executive session after approving the tentative budget. Directors also voted unanisafety departments. PEL believes if their mandates are followed and fully implemented, they will eliminate the citys projected operating budget deficits for 2011 through 2015.

A Republican-sponsored proposal to change how Pennsylvanias electoral votes are counted in next years presidential election appears to be running out of steam. GOP Gov. Tom Corbett, a key supporter of the idea, suggested Monday that its going nowhere for the time being. I see no movement on it. Im not going to push for movement, but I still support it, Corbett told a Pennsylvania Press Club luncheon in Harrisburg. The proposal that first surfaced in September ditch the current system of awarding Pennsylvanias 20 electoral votes to the winner of the states popular vote in the 2012 presidential election. Rather, candidates would win an electoral delegate for each of 18 congressional districts they carry, and the winner of the statewide vote would gain two additional electoral votes. The bill, if it becomes law, would guarantee that a Republican wins an electoral vote in Pennsylvania for the first time in 24 years. The bill is in the Senate State Government Committee but isnt scheduled for a vote. - ASSOCIATED PRESS Local MainStreetChamber branch opens The Lackawanna County branch of MainStreetChamber, a national membership organization dedicated to helping small businesses, has been opened by new president Chris Musti, according to a release.

SCRANTON Dawn Deriso said she had never seen anything like what she witnessed Tuesday. Deriso, 42, of South Abington Township, was one of1,500 people who received a free Thanksgiving meal through the 32nd United Neighborhood Centers Annual WNEP Feed-A-Friend Thanksgiving Food Basket Program. I cant believe they do this here, Deriso said inside St. John Neumann Church, 633 Orchard St., Scranton. I used to live in Georgia, and they never did anything like this for anybody, Deriso said. They had food pantries and you could get food if you needed it, but nothing to help out families. After moving to the area two years ago, Deriso said times are a bit tougher this holiday season. Work has been slow for her husband, a truck driver, and she discovered the program after signing up for the Women, Infants, and Children, or WIC, program earlier this year. The turkey alone is a big help, she said, noting the family of six she was set to feed Thursday.
Ashley Ali Morgan was one of UNCs more animated volunteers this year.
GIVE BACK
Food, clothing, household items, and monetary donations are accepted by United Neighborhood Centers year-round, and monetary donations can be sent online at www.uncnepa.org/donate.
More than 200 volunteers came from the Old Forge, Dunmore, Valley View, and Scranton school districts, along with Bank of America, McCann School of Business and Technology, ITT Technical Institute, and the community at large. Its amazing. I cant say enough about it. Here I am, down on my luck, I want to make sure that my kids have a great holi-
day, and these kids are volunteering their time to help people, Deriso said. That need is what brought 37-year-old Ashley Ali Morgan, 37, of Scranton, to St. Johns on Tuesday. Dressed in a pig costume as a mascot for Chef Pigs BBQ,1330 Pittston Ave., Scranton, Morgan handed out turkeys with gusto. I figured what better way to give back than to offer my volunteer services, he said. We just want to help out as much as possible. Its a long, tough road out there for some people, and every little bit counts. Mary Endrusick, community services director for UNC, said the Thanksgiving program served more than 1,500 families this year, compared to about1,700 in 2010. Organizers said the slight reduction in turnout may be attributed to families utilizing programs offered by UNC and other agencies . Some of those programs, like UNCs food pantry and Angels Attic, have been hit hard by increased need and slowed donations. Theres definitely been a greater need throughout the year, UNC Communications Coordinator Alison Woody said.

Good things are all around us. For me, I look around my home and see my beautiful wife and two wonderful children. No matter how busy I am or how many bills found their way to my mailbox, I always end up realizing how very lucky I am. I could not be a richer person, and my wife and two boys have made me this way. Im also blessed because of the family I was raised in. Family first, my father always said. That continues today as I can still visit with my parents and siblings or speak with them at any time. We all live in the same small town, within a few minutes of each other. To some, that may sound crazy, but to me, its something else to be thankful for. I hope to instill in my children what my parents instilled in me. Family first, then work hard, and the rest will work itself out. Your good things in life may be completely different from mine, but that doesnt matter. What matters is that you have them. By donating to the less fortunate, teaching a class, saving lives, fighting crimes, healing patients, farming, or, in our case here at Go Lackawanna, compiling a newspaper, we all contribute, in some way, to the good things that are all around us. The staff here has the great honor of keeping readers informed. We take that honor very seriously. We also appreciate greatly the opportunity to bring new memories and mementos into your home.

Its the most wonderful time of the year for deals! The actually Black Friday deals were available on most websites this year, and well likely see the deals get better as we get closer to the holiday. With the state of our economy, most people are turning to online deals rather than buying in store. If you didnt get a chance to wrestle through the crowds on Black Friday or beat the lightning deals online, you will not want to miss the deals happening on Cyber Monday. There are a few tips to shopping online like searching websites for coupon codes that can be added to your order. The top online coupon sites are retailmenot.com and couponcabin.com. Its also a good idea to sign up for emails from your favorite retail stores in order to receive advance notice of sales. On Cyber Monday, the sales are comparable to those on Black Friday and some may sell out very fast. Sign up for cash back programs like Ebates.com and ShopAtHome.com, two online rebate sites that can earn you cash back with every online purchase. When

WRITING/POETRY
Weve sung these songs 300 times, and were still laughing. Its the only show Ive been involved in where people are asking to do scenes over because of how funny they are, Mark Petrole, of Tamaqua, said. The show, indeed, has puppets, but this isnt Public Broadcasting Systems type of puppet show. All of the same stuff thats on Sesame Street like equality and getting along is there but from a different angle. Instead of saying we should all get along, it kind of says everyone sucks so we should embrace that, John McNulty, of West Wyoming, said. McNulty portrays Nicky, one half of the Bert and Ernie-esque roommates in Avenue Q. Musical numbers include If You Were Gay and Everyones a Little Bit Racist and approach such topics in a way that even the actors admit would be tough to do
candidly if it werent for their feltclad companions. Its what everybody deals with, except puppets are doing it which makes it funnier, said Jeremy Crisi, of Lake Ariel, who portrays Trekkie Monster, an Internet aficionado and investment guru, to put it politely, who edu-
cates audience members on the majority of content available online. Its so much easier to say and do those things when youre behind a puppet. Crisi said the puppeteering process brings a new comfort level for aspiring actors like himself and Travis Davis, a Wilkes-Barre resident who portrays building super Gary Coleman. Yes, that Gary Coleman. And while one of the most notable songs from the show is It Sucks To Be Me, cast members said theyve truly enjoyed being the first local company to bring Avenue Q to life in Scranton. Its always exciting to be the first theater to do anything, said West Wyoming resident Dane Bower. I know when I saw the show on Broadway years ago, I

While many people dont realize it, they are continuing the Wassailing tradition every time they offer a warm drink to visiting carolers. Of course, food was not only used for meals during the holidays but has also had a long tradition as part of the seasonal decorations. The custom of decking the halls can be traced back to a Roman festival celebrated in late December. Romans would fill their homes with greens and give wreaths of holly as a symbol of friendship. Christians continued this practice, first to mask their religion, but later they adopted the custom as their own. By the Victorian Era, the custom had blossomed as a wonderful way to mark the season and festoon their homes with garlands and more, but they also created paper cornucopias filled with sweets, fruits, and nuts. Popcorn and cranberry garland strings are a reminder of this tradition. Another food themed decoration was the Victorian Kissing Ball. Made with boughs of evergreen and herbs implanted in ball-shaped items like apples or potatoes, Kissing Balls were hung from ceilings or doorways to provide a sweet scent during the holiday season and, in the more romantic sense, to symbolize love. It was a common practice to include mistletoe under which a kiss could be shared. To learn more about these and other popular holiday traditions, stop by the Lackawanna Historical Societys Annual Holiday Open House on Friday, Dec. 9, between 7 and 9 p.m., and dont miss the special free Kissing Ball making workshop on Sunday, Dec. 4 at 2 p.m. The workshop is free and open to the public but participants are asked to bring a Styrofoam ball, 10-12 inches in diameter. For more information, call (570) 344-3841.

MINING HISTORY
Wassailing and other holiday traditions T
NEWS
he holidays bring the hustle and bustle into full swing with frantic Black Friday shopping, hectic planning for the perfect party, the brain-numbing work of finding ideal gifts, and, finally, an elaborate and decadent feast. The many customs that exist at our shared tables this season can be traced back to the Victorian Era when the main Christmas dinner consisted of turkey, ham, potatoes, turnips, oysters, and plum pudding. In addition, the Victorians also hosted smaller gatherings with lighter fare including finger sandwiches, cakes, cookies, and, of course, more plum pudding. Plum pudding originated from a medieval plum porridge or pottage. It was a left-over dish filled with meat, bread crumbs, raisins, spices currants, prunes, and red wine, and is considered to be the forerunner of todays popular mincemeat pies. Another must have during the Victorian Christmas was a Wassail. The Wassail Bowl is derived from the Anglo Saxon custom of Wassailing. On Jan. 5, Wassailing time, young men would roam the fields banging drums and clashing cymbals to ward off any evil spirits. The term Wes haill literally translates to to good health or be well and means to be free of evil spirits. After the young men returned from the field, they would drink a Wassail cup, which was a combination of warmed brown ale, sherry, spices, roasted apples and lemons, and the occasional bit of rum. Today, recipes for Wassail vary but should always include fruit and a warm cider drink.

A tale of two very different frontmen

Its probably not fair to compare the two very different concert experiences I had this past week, but for the sake of argument, lets talk about the upside and downside of creative freedom in the music business. The first show I attended was Guns N Roses on Nov. 20 at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza in Wilkes-Barre, which was sincerely the weirdest concert I have ever been to. Considering GnR is an 80s hair metal band, I figured I knewwhatIwasgettingmyselfinto. I was well-prepared for Axls infamous tardiness, though I cant say I find it excusable, and I anticipated some insane instrumental solos and pyrotechnics. The song choices, however, threw me for loop. About half of the three-hour set felt like it was made up of cover songs, and while I dont mind hearing a new take on a old favorite, theyve been playing Paul McCartney & Wings Live and Let Die for many years now. A rather ill-placed and pointless instrumental cover of Pink Floyds
NEWS
INFINITE IMPROBABILITY
RICH HOWELLS
Another Brick in the Wall Part II also made me question why it took Chinese Democracy a decade to come out if GnR only planned to play two or three songs off the entire album. Axl exited the stage for many of these covers, leaving his band members to take on The Whos My Generation and Baba ORiley. By the time the guitarist started into a rock version of the Pink Panther theme, of all things, I had to check my ticket again to be sure I had come to the right show. When the Great Bandana-ed One did decide to grace us with his presence, I must note that while the guitar amps were turned up to 11, his vocals were at more of a five or six. Ill let you decide whether or not it was the acoustics or an attempt to hide those minor imperfections that come with age and hard partying. And since it took Rose until al-
most 11:30 p.m. to take the stage, people started leaving only three or four songs in. By the time the encore came around and all the GnR classics started to play, at least half the arena had cleared out, along with my interest. On Nov. 23, however, I had a much different experience. As an avid fan of Maynard James Keenan, known best as the singer of Tool and A Perfect Circle, Ive seen the manperformmoretimesthanany other national recording artist, but the Puscifer show at the Tower Theater in Upper Darby gave me a whole new perspective into his multifaceted and creative brain. The night began with a beautiful and powerful set by British singer/songwriter Carina Round, who rocked the hell out of an acoustic guitar and a little black dress. Few present seemed to know who she was, but just a few songs in, she already had the audience eating out of the palm of her hand. She brought that same level of energytoPuscifer,joiningKeenan on back-up vocals for the duration of the show. As she is featured prominently on the new album, Conditions of My Parole, the ev-
er-revolving band members played through the record in almost its entirety while still squeezing in a few older favorites. Carina held her own next to the cowboy hat-clad frontman the entire time, which is no easy feat if youve ever seen Maynard do what he does best. Puscifer,unlikehisotherbands, is a completely independent project under his complete creative control. It shows, too, because these songs are as funny and tongue-in-cheek as they are deep and emotional. Entering an empty stage, Maynard engaged the audience in a conversation about the importance of art and creativity to humanity while setting up props with his bandmates. By the time they had finished, they were surrounded by a trailer, folding tables and chairs, and a grill spewing fake fire. Images on screens behind them ranged from beautiful landscapes to goofy parodies of living the hillbilly lifestyle, transporting himself and the audience to the deserts of Arizona, where he currently resides, and the inner workings of his eccentric mind. The receptive audience danced and swayed in front of their seats
to the calm and meditative beats and thrashed as more aggressive tunes were interspersed throughout. Highlights included the latest albums title track, Man Overboard, The Weaver, and Carinas solo rendition of Rev 22:20. While Axl is known for whiny tantrums and public break-ups, Keenan stays out of the spotlight, even literally during his own shows. You hear little about him in the media for a reason he likes his privacy, and what he wants to sharewithaudiencesishisart,not his ego. I may be biased, being only a passing fan of GnR while following Keenan carefully throughout his career, but there is a reason for that bias the music, the stage presence, and the respect for the fans cannot even begin to be compared. On Sunday, I felt like I was being forcefed, while on Wednesday, I felt like I was part of a mutual and personal experience, right down to the personal thank you at the end of Puscifers show. All the fireworks and big-budget distractions in the world cant give you a time like that. Take note, Mr. Rose sincerity beats theatrics any day of the week, particularly this week.

What: Vanilla Fudge Farewell Tour with the Craig Thatcher Band Where: Penns Peak, 325 Maury Rd., Jim Thorpe When: Friday, December 2, doors at 6 p.m., show at 8 p.m. Cost: $22 advance; $27 day of show
Classic rock band Vanilla Fudge may have had their biggest hit back in 1967, but the group is still living the message in its lyrics over 40 years later. Vanilla Fudges Farewell Tour withtheCraigThatcherBandwill be stopping at Penns Peak, 325 Maury Rd., Jim Thorpe, on Friday, Dec. 2. Vocalist and keyboardist Mark Stein said he used to sing along to the radio and picked up the piano at a young age, telling everyone that he would one day be a star. I think, basically, I was pretty much born with this ability to hear melodies. I must have been 4 years old, as early as that in my life, and I just think it was something I was meant to do, Stein said. Standing in front of a disco in New York City in 1966 with bass player Tim Bogert, he heard The Supremes hit You Keep Me Hangin On over the radio and it struck the young musician in a way that would change his life forever. It seemed like it was going by really quick, and I just looked at Tim and said, Wow, this would be such a cool song to slow down. The lyrics are so soulful. It was really cool to put that kind of a treatment to it, Stein recalled. The magical arrangement
I had with Vanilla Fudge. Its also when you become addicted to the music business itself, as tough as it is, that in and of itself keeps you

The band broke up, however, in 1970, but Vanilla Fudge continued to reform again and again over the years, often with most or all of the original members.

Morgan, Baresse among MMA winners

SCRANTON Kris McCray and Dave Morgan posted unanimous decisions in professional bouts Friday night to highlight Cage Fight 9, a Northeast MMAsponsored card at the Lackawanna College Student Union. McCray, from Woodbridge, Va., defeated Gemiyale Adkins, from Newark, Del., in the main event of the Mixed Martial Arts card that featured five professional and seven amateur bouts. Morgan (3-1) recovered from the only loss of his career to defeat Evan Velez of Ithaca, N.Y. John Flock, Evan Bates and Lewis Rumsey each stopped opponents in the other pro bouts. Flock scored a technical knockout of William Grandall in 55 seconds. Bates used a rear naked choke hold to get Kyle Dolan to tap out in 1:08. And Rumsey stopped Chase Owens by TKO at1:47 of the second round. Gary Peters of Pittston defeated Dave Spadell of Freeland for the PA Cage Fight Amateur Welterweight belt, then told the Pittston Dispatch that he is ready to turn pro. Peters (6-2) won, 29-28, on all three cards. Michael Baresse of West Scranton and Sean Oliveri of Old Forge were among the amateur winners. Baresse stopped Mark Mangiardi with a guillotine choke hold at 1:21 of the second round. Oliveri posted a unanimous decision over Terry Evans of Moosic in his MMA debut. It was a really good jiu jitsu battle and I tried to do my thing on the ground, Oliveri told the Pittston Dispatch. I wish I could have knocked him out standing up, but he was so strong. Scrantons Joe Martin fell to Cioval Cuevas by unanimous decision. In other bouts: Richard Gates stopped Anthony McGlynn in 36 seconds; Ian Brofsky won by unanimous decision over Jason Lapage, and Darlington Peralta won by decision over Michael Zolla. - Reporting by Josh Horton.

wood University Wednesday at 7 in the continuation of a local rivalry they have dominated. Then, Saturday at 4 they will face Moravian University in the Landmark Conference opener. Marywood has been the second-best program in Lackawanna County behind Scranton just as Moravian has been the second-best program in the Landmark Conference. It is only a matter of time before Strong, who is 755-162, catches and passes former St. John Fisher College coach Phil Kahlers record total of 757 wins. This years team will be able to enjoy the run to the record books a bit more, however, if it can handle its local and/or conference rivalry this week and get turned in the right direction. Marywood comes in with a 3-1 start that has been helped by two local freshmen. Ashley Murray, who led Dunmore to last seasons state Class AA championship game, has started each game. Riversides Morgann Haduck has been coming off the bench but is third on the team in both playing time and scoring (10.8 points per game). Murray and Haduck are two of six Lackawanna County women on the Marywood roster, making it a team well aware of what it would mean to be able to beat Scranton, even just once. Strong has created a special program. After winning a national title in 1985, the Lady Royals went back to the Final Four seven more times, including back-to-back appearances in 2005 and 2006. Scranton has played in 24 NCAA Tournaments under Strong while Marywood has been to the tournament once. The 2010-11 season, however, saw the Lady Royals go 19-7 to fall one win short of their 20th straight 20-win season and miss the NCAA Tournament for the first time in a decade. Scranton also failed to win the Landmark Conference championship for a second straight season. The Lady Royals have gone 50-6 in the four full seasons since the conference was formed. Moravian is second-best at 42-14. Juniata, however, is the defending champion and conference favorite. Scranton and Moravian enter the season in the uncommon position of being picked third and fourth in a preseason poll of conference coaches. To my knowledge this is the first time weve been picked third in the conference, Strong said, according to a preseason press release. One of our team goals is

The University of Scranton has always been a national power in womens basketball under Mike Strong. That consistent excellence, over 32 seasons, is the reason Strong is just games away from becoming the nations all-time winningest coach in Division III womens basketball. The Lady Royals have won more than four out of five games throughout Strongs career, but they have lost three out of four to start this season, their first such start in 21 years. Scranton is accustomed to being part of the national scene, but as its coach pursues a national record, the team will first be tested to cling to something that has been a given for years - its status as the best in the area.

HAMOKIN Matt Moore created the eighth lead change of the game, then made sure it was the last. Moore carried 16 times for 252 yards and four touchdowns, including the last two of the game Friday night, to help Southern Columbia outlast Old Forge, 45-34, in a wild Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association Class A football playoff opener.
Southern Columbia, which has made a record 12 trips to the state final while winning six, had pounded Old Forge, 48-0, in 2006 in the Blue Devils only previous trip to the state playoffs.

Moore scored twice in the next five minutes to finally turn back the Blue Devils. He had Southern Columbias last three touchdowns, including a 68yarder in the third quarter and an 82-yarder for the clincher with 5:55 remaining.

BETHLEHEM A dozen teams 10 regular-season opponents and two more in the District 2 playoffs combined efforts for nearly three months. Those teams scored nine touchdowns and 61 points against a Valley View defense that ranked among the stingiest in the state. Allentown Central Catholic matched those exact numbers in one stunning effort Friday night. Just as shocking was the fact that Valley View equaled the output by the defending state Class AAA champion Vikings until the final 31 seconds of a 6154 loss. The Cougars, playing in their first Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association tournament game since winning it all in Class AA in 1992, used the final 31 seconds to advance all the way to the Vikings 23 before finally falling short. Im so proud of this team, Valley View coach George Howanitz said a number of times while answering questions about a game that he acknowledged he could not envision prior to Friday night. South Carolina recruit Brendan Nosovitch continued a torrid playoff run by hitting 22 of 35 passes for 492 yards and eight touchdowns. In his spare time, Nosovitch ran 18 yards for the other Allentown Central Catholic touchdown. Nosovitch sidestepped the Valley View pass rush on fourthand-17, giving Kevin Gulyas time to break open while running across the end zone. Nosovitch found Gulyas for a 23-yard touchdown that broke the 54-54 tie in the final minute. I moved to my right to buy a little time, Nosovitch said. Their defensive back didnt get over the top on him and I saw Kevin continuing across the field. Gulyas, the leading receiver in state history, had just one catch in the first quarter but finished with nine for 226 yards

and five touchdowns. On a night when the teams combined for1,203 yards of total offense, Valley Views ground game matched Allentown Central Catholics passing attack and allowed the Cougars to lead for much of the second half, including a 48-40 advantage late in the third quarter. Valley View mixed the ability to pound the ball for first downs against a defensive approach that often jams all 11 men within five yards of the line with a series of gaping holes for big gains against the blitz. Those holes resulted in five touchdowns of 32 yards or longer and nine runs of at least 20 yards. The Cougars had 17 runs of at least 13 yards while piling up 542 yards rushing. Even while struggling to stop the pass from Allentown Central Catholics no-huddle attack, the Cougars left an impression on Nosovitch. Their defense stops the run

The Vikings, in contrast, spread the Valley View defense, fought off what is usually a dominant pass rush and created openings in the secondary.
