Wishing best for abused Scranton boy The story of a Scranton couple accused of forcing their 7year-old little boy to wear diapers and punishing him by locking him in a homemade coffin in their dimly lit basement was hard to believe when I first heard rumors last week. The charges announced this week prove that truth can often be stranger than fiction. The boy, whose name was not released to protect his identity, was allegedly abused in such a macabre fashion by his own mother and a stepfather that he was immediately removed from their custody as police conducted a fair and thorough investigation into his claims before filing charges.

BEHIND THE BYLINES CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES Who could blame them for taking their time with such wild accusations? Truth often comes from the mouths of babes, as old proverbs tell us, but I can’t imagine many people who would want to believe that sort of life for a child in our area. Shock and outrage poured into the community as headlines and breaking news stories detailed the youngster’s ordeal. Further proving he was often forgotten about, police allege that his stepfather was inside the Raines Street home while police

spoke to the young man outside and even entered the basement of the residence. Out of sight, out of mind, out of line. Charges against the two have yet to be proven and, if they are true, some have already expressed wishes to share the same level of compassion with Lori Gardner and Brian Sleboda as they did the young man who hugged an officer, asking, “Are you here to help me?” as members of the police department likely tried to make sense out of what they were hearing. It’s shocking and hurtful as a parent to believe that people my age with children the same age as my daughter could be capable of such terrible things. As Gardner and Sleboda sat locked in the Lackawanna County Prison Thursday night unable

to post bail, our family was celebrating Taryn’s eighth birthday at Friendly’s in Dunmore. The eatery is one of her favorites, likely because of the blue soda offered with kids’ meals. But as she squirmed slightly, embarrassed over the attention she received when workers sang their birthday tune to her, I couldn’t help but wonder if that little boy would ever have a memory like that. Currently, Sleboda and Gardner are due in court on Wednesday, Oct. 12. If their hearing is not continued, we hope to learn more about the conditions inside their Green Ridge home and to establish truths about the case. Like it or not, the adults are due that chance. Until then, we’re still left to wonder what may have driven them to treat a child so poorly.

Changing attitudes on mental health Mazzoni

LEARN MORE Those seeking help with mental health issues are encouraged to contact NAMI Scranton at (570) 342-1047 or info@namipascranton.org. Support group meetings are held in the Community Medical Center Maternal and Family Healthcare Center on the second and fourth Monday of each month.

two years. That success come with the even demeanor and unique approach Mazzoni has taken. He does not wear traditional judges’ robes during monthly meetings with Intercept 2 members. “In his courtroom, Judge Mazzoni is planting seeds of compassion, caring, and friendship. These are qualities that we all need to share with everyone we meet,” Dougherty said. “What I try to do is get familiar with them. I not only talk to them about their treatment and how it’s going, but I try to get right into their lives,” he said. “You see them develop some form of dignity and self-respect. They start to feel good about themselves and that they’re not the type of people that other people think they are.” Program participants have also been very dedicated to receiving treatment. One young man from Archbald arrived at a session late because he missed a bus and rode a skateboard to Scranton, Mazzoni recalled. The judge said that the program would not be a success without the help of his staff members Kevin Gownley, Colleen Phillips, Matt Eisenherd, and Courtney Tibbetts. Training changes lives When Dombroski, 45, of South Scranton, first joined the police force, a veteran of the department told him, “Treat everyone you deal with as a family member.”

Twenty years later, Dombroski is now working to pass that message on to new officers along with his experience in crisis negotiation and situation management. Dombroski joined the force out of a desire to help others, he said, but specialized training has allowed him to diffuse potentially dangerous situations for individuals and their families. “It’s that extra chance to make the difference. Every day on patrol, there’s always some sort of person in crisis or some kind of negotiations going on even on your normal call,” he said. “When it amps up to where they need a crisis intervention officer or a negotiator, I enjoy doing that and the outcome of that for the person and their family, as well.” He joined the departments crisis and hostage negotiation team 10 years ago, and when further training arose from Mayor Chris Doherty’s Task Force following the shooting death of a mental health patient in May 2009, Dombroski was one of the first to be trained. “Education, I think, is the answer to everything,” he said. He has become an advocate

for the area’s Crisis Intervention Team training that places emergency responders in 40 hours of intense curriculum- and experience-based learning situations. Dombroski has responded to the highest number of crisis calls in the city of Scranton, according to his letter of nomination, but one rescue continues to stand out. He keeps a note from one mother prominently displayed in his office. The letter thanks him for negotiating with a young man who threatened to commit suicide by jumping from the Scranton Iron Furnaces one April 18 several years ago. The family found a goodbye letter as they were gathering clothes to take to him in the hospital, and they realized the impact the officer truly had. A prayer card to St. Michael that arrived with the letter is placed inside Dombroski’s bullet proof vest each night when he begins his shift. Different paths, same message Mazzoni said that while it’s been rewarding to see individuals break down their barriers through various treatment sessions, it’s important to continue

to better educate others about what mental illness really means in 2011. “The first misconception is that it’s not an illness, and many people don’t think it’s treatable,” he said. “There’s a segment of our population that once a person is diagnosed with a mental disease, they don’t want them in the area. Hopefully, it’s a small segment.” Program participants are most commonly diagnosed with depression or bi-polarism among a host of other mental illnesses, he said. Removing the misconceptions surrounding all forms of mental disease through specialized training is one of Dombroski’s goals. “There’s an overall need for it in law enforcement. We respond to two or three calls a night on second shift for some kind of mental health crisis, and one in every six adults has a diagnosable mental health illness. The odds of us running into someone (with a mental disease) are that it will happen,” he said. “It’s no different than any other disease. It should be viewed as that, but unfortunately society carries a stigma. We have to remove that.”

Compassion in the courtroom Mazzoni, 62, of Jefferson Township, was appointed to the Lackawanna County bench in July 2011 by then Gov. Tom Ridge, and he was elected the following November. In 2008, following the request of Judge Chester Harhut, Mazzoni helped create and has since overseen the Intercept 2 program of the county’s mental health court system run by Judge Vito Geroulo. The jail diversion program is meant to better serve low-level offenders. “I see them earlier in the process. I see people who are recognized to have a mental disorder right at the time they’re either arrested or in the preliminary hearing stage,” Mazzoni explained. The program fits well with Mazzoni’s goals as a judge. “I was always intrigued in doing a diversionary-based, community program,” he said. The small court has seen great successes in a short time. Approximately 20 men and women have been referred into the program, and only one has committed another crime following their initial treatment, which on average lasts one or

SCRANTON – Owen Dougherty’s opening message Friday night was a simple one. “When we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change,” said Dougherty, president of the Board of Directors of the Scranton chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, quoting Dr. Wayne Dyer. The alliance took pause Friday during its 15th annual candlelight vigil to recognize two men who have exemplified the ways changing attitudes towards mental health consumers can improve their lives and better educate residents of the communities they live in. Lackawanna County Judge Robert Mazzoni and Scranton Ptlm. Joe Dombroski were the recipients of the 2011 Candlelight Awards for their commitment to raising awareness about and better serving those who face mental illness.

Four guards fired following escape By JERRY LYNOTT jlynott@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – The warden of the Lackawanna County Prison said Friday he terminated the four guards who violated his orders, leading to the shortlived escape of convicted murderer Michael Simonson. Warden Robert A. McMillan did not identify the three correction officers and sergeant in the prepared statement issued Friday night. The firings followed a meeting of the county prison board and came in the midst of a criminal investigation into the Sept. 28 escape. The four men had been on unpaid suspension following the escape. “If the COs and Sergeant followed any one of the violated orders, inmate would not have escaped from (the prison),” McMillan’s statement read. Simonson, 34, of Plains Township, was brought to the prison on Sept. 13 for an upcoming court appearance related to the beating on inmate Nicholas Pinto on Aug. 8. A preliminary hearing on his escape was continued from Oct. 5 to Oct. 24. The union representative for the terminated employees said they were scapegoats for lax security procedures. “It’s a travesty,” said Matt Balas, staff representative for District Council 87 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.

Rogan pitching alternatives to meter sales By RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com

SCRANTON – City Council Vice President Pat Rogan may have met with Mayor Chris Doherty on Monday to discuss the city’s financial crisis, but council and the mayor still have yet to agree on how to fill the city’s $6.5 million budget hole with only a little more than a month before the mayor’s 2012 proposed budget will be due. At Tuesday’s council meeting, Rogan said he met with Doherty and Business Administrator Ryan McGowan on Oct. 3 at a Wilkes-Barre coffee shop, where the councilman said he would not agree to sell the city’s 1,200 meters for $6 million to the Scranton Parking Authority as a one-time revenue boost as the administration had proposed. He would also not consider further layoffs to public safety, though he said rumors of layoffs of as many as 60 workers may be looming. “If the options were to sell an asset that brings in $1 million a year and borrow…then it’s an easier decision to make, even though borrowing any amount of money is a

tough pill to swallow,” Rogan said. “We’ve lost far too many firefighters and far too many police officers in this city.”The administration also proposed petitioning the Court of Common Pleas of Lackawanna County to allow $4 million of additional borrowing to fill the budget gap, which council would consider raising to $6.5 million. “I don’t agree with the vast majority of what the mayor is doing, but again, I’m willing to meet with any public official at any time,” Rogan stated. “I would love if council and the mayor could reach an agreement. I would love even more if the mayor came to council.” “It’s always good to talk, but there are really three scenarios here. One is they can do the parking garages and some type of borrowing. The second is they can just do borrowing. The third is they don’t have to do either and we’ll just use layoffs to bridge the shortfall,” Doherty said when reached for comment on Friday. Rogan said he supports privatizing the Scranton Sewer Authority and believes that the city’s refuse can be collect-

ed in four days instead of five by the Department of Public Works, allowing the fifth day to be used to repair roads and make other infrastructure improvements. Before these options could be considered, however, he made two motions at Tuesday’s meeting “compelling Mayor Doherty” to put out requests for proposals to determine the market value of the Sewer Authority, city-owned parking meters, and the Scranton Parking Authority’s garages as well as an RFP for an efficiency study of the DPW. Both motions passed unanimously. “(Doherty) said he was open to something other than the meters, which I thought was progress…because the only proposal sent down was the meter proposal,” Rogan said. Doherty said that he would consider approving the RFPs, but would first like to see Rogan produce documentation and numbers that would justify this expense. Council Finance Chairman Frank Joyce continued to contend on Tuesday that the current budget problems are due to the “Doherty deficit,” citing administrative projec-

tions versus McGowan’s August 24 projections. Revenue was overestimated by $2,869,750, health insurance expenditures were underestimated by $3,732,371, and the unbudgeted hiring of four DPW foremen and casual workers, at a total of $244,360, and a raise for the mayor’s secretary, at a cost of $6,000, left a total of hole of $6,852,481 in the budget, Joyce said. “It’s not my budget. He’s the one that lowered the taxes by $3 million. He’s the one who brought back 44 jobs…I laid off,” Doherty responded. After receiving an extra $1.7 million in state pension aid this year, the Pennsylvania Economy League now estimates the city’s deficit to be $6.5 million as opposed to $8.2 million. “The mayor can’t have it both ways by creating these holes, hiring back workers that are unbudgeted, and then still blame Scranton City Council for the deficit. It just doesn’t work that way,” Joyce said. “When I produce my budget, I’m going to make sure that this (deficit) will not happen next year,” Doherty said.

Open county records system introduced for public

By RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com

SCRANTON – Lackawanna County took “a giant leap forward in open government” on Thursday afternoon as leaders also announced a way for county residents to trace their own family histories online. The county commissioners, along with County Clerk of Judicial Records Mary Rinaldi and Register of Wills Linda Munley, announced the public launch of a searchable online database of Register of Wills and Clerk of Judicial Records documents through the county’s website, www.lackawannacounty.org. Once an application is downloaded to the desktop, users can view digital images of will and probate records from 1878 to the present, marriage applications from 1885 to the present, and Orphan’s Court Division records from 1938 to the present. Judicial records dockets in the civil and family court divisions are available

from 1995 to the present, and scanned images of documents filed in the two divisions from 2003 to the present are also online, with the exception of juvenile records. Currently, the program is only compatible with Internet Explorer. Over 7 million documents are now accessible online, and the venture took eight years to finish. “It’s something that, in my career, I’m very proud of, that we can provide the service free of charge through mandated fees that we have been able to collect in our offices,” Rinaldi added. “In my office, the title searchers have been using this system on a trial basis for a good month and a half and it has been an invaluable tool to them.” The Lackawanna County Records Improvement Committee funded the bulk of the project through a state-mandated automation fee, and INFOCON was contracted to provide the online system at $3,225 a month. The company also provides technical support. While microfilm copies are still required by state law, the digital database

saved the county library system thousands of dollars, as they were originally allotted $60,000 to duplicate this microfilm, but can now simply download the new app onto any library computer for instant access. “This is a game changer. I think there is no doubt about that…It is a giant leap forward in open government,” Commissioner Corey O’Brien said. “I think it’s a great tool, and it’s going to save us answering some phone calls because I’ve had people call me and say, ‘How do I get to this?’ and ‘How do I get to that?’ Now it’s a lot easier,” Commissioner Bruce Smallacombe added. The database also serves as a link to the past for curious residents. O’Brien, who said he is working on his family tree “all the time,” was able to look up his great grandparents’ marriage application from 1910 within seconds. “It ultimately builds up to be a story of a country,” Commissioner Mike Washo noted. “These are the building blocks of history.”

the plaque should be removed and new wording should be placed on the marker simply thanking all of those companies and individuals that played a role in making the terminal a reality. He was quickly supported by the two other Luzerne County commissioners on the board, Maryanne Petrilla and Steve Urban. Lackawanna County Commissioner Bruce Smallacombe opposed the idea immediately while his two county colleagues mulled it over, stating the reasons to keep the names on and reasons to have them removed. “You know history’s not always pretty,” said Mike Washo, a Lackawanna County Commissioner who served as minority commissioner when Cordaro and Munchak served as the majority. “To have an accurate record of what happened, I think you need to consider living with those people on the plaque.” Washo said he understood Cooney’s concerns, “but we can’t rewrite history. We can’t sanitize history.” Urban noted that their names were part of the record in meet-

ing minutes and media archives, but to have it publicly displayed on a plaque “does a disservice to the people of both counties.” Corey O’Brien, the third Lackawanna County Commissioner, noted that names of those convicted for crimes remains on other buildings including former Congressman Dan Flood, whose name is on a high-rise apartment and a school. Flood pleaded guilty in 1980 to one count of conspiracy to violate federal campaign laws by taking payoffs from five people. “There’s two sides,” O’Brien said. “There’s the historical aspect of it … and a more public take here … People are upset when they see these names.” O’Brien decided to vote in favor of redoing the plaque making the vote 4-2. But since board rules require at least two “yes” votes from each county’s three representatives for a motion to pass, the motion failed. “I think we’ve got better things to do,” Washo said. “Most people walk by that (plaque) without even knowing what’s there.”

SCRANTON – The city’s chief of police called for backup Monday evening as he tried to stop a fight involving five women in the parking lot of a Rite Aid store in the 600 block of Luzerne Street that he witnessed while filling his gas tank at a nearby Turkey Hill. Chief Dan Duffy first heard a verbal argument taking place on the opposite side of Luzerne Street at about 8 p.m. on Oct. 3. Several bystanders stopped to watch the argument, which quickly escalated as all five women were “fighting, punching, kicking, pulling hair and wrestling on the ground,” according to the affidavit. Duffy, who was off duty at the time, called in the incident to the Lackawanna County Communications Center on his police radio as he attempted to stop the fight. After he displayed his badge, Kashona Sartin, 20, of Scranton, allegedly continued to punch another woman in the face until she was taken to the ground by the chief. Three women fled the scene as the chief interviewed Sartin and another woman. Kayleigh Saltry, 22, of Scranton, who had visible injuries to her face and “complained of symptoms related to pepper spray deployment,” according to the affidavit. Saltry and Sartin said that they were driving through the parking lot when they confronted the trio after they made derogatory remarks toward Saltry. They told Duffy that “we were the victims” in the incident, but later agreed with the chief’s suggestion that they could have simply driven away from the scene rather than beginning a verbal argument. Disorderly conduct charges were filed against Saltry and Sartin on Oct. 5. All charges are pending.

PITTSTON TWP. – A bid to alter the plaque bearing the names of three convicted former county commissioners and three companies tied to the ongoing public corruption probe that’s led to more than 30 arrests in Lackawanna and Luzerne counties fell one vote short on Tuesday. At the end of the monthly meeting of the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton Airport’s Bi-County Board of Commissioners, Luzerne County Commissioner Thomas Cooney went off the agenda and made a motion to have the plaque, on the wall near the escalators on the ground floor of the terminal, altered in a way that no names appear on it. The marker was installed when the $41.5 million glass and steel structure opened in 2006 and listed the county commissioners from Luzerne and Lackawanna at that time, the airport’s director, assistant director, the construction company and the engineers and architects that designed the facility. Among the names are Robert Cordaro, A.J. Munchak and Greg Skrepenak, all of whom have been found guilty of varying crimes regarding public corruption. Cordaro was found guilty of18 counts including money laundering and bribery concerning programs receiving federal funds. The federal jury found Cordaro not guilty of 15 other counts. Munchak was convicted of eight of the 21 counts against him including extortion, theft or bribery, and conspiracy to commit theft or bribery. He was found not guilty of mail fraud and racketeering. Both Cordaro and Munchak await their sentences, which are scheduled to be handed down on Oct. 31. Skrepenak was sentenced to 24 months in prison and a $5,000 fine after pleading guilty to corrupt receipt of a reward for official action. Federal prosecutors said he accepted $5,000 from a real estate developer as a reward for voting to include a housing project in the Tax Incre-

ment Financing Program, which allows developers to delay paying real estate taxes so that the money can be used to fund infrastructure. Also on the plaque are the names of Highland Associates, Michael J. Pasonick Jr. Inc. and Acker Associates. All of which have had past employees involved in the corruption scandal. Pasonick pleaded guilty in May to paying a bribe to an area school board member who promised to help him obtain future contracts with the district. Acker Associates, of Moscow, allegedly made monthly $10,000 payments totaling more than $360,000 to Cordaro between 2005 and 2008, according to prosecutors. Highland Associates, a Clarks Summit-based engineering and design firm, was allegedly extorted into making payments to Cordaro. The company, among other projects, was also given a no-bid contract to build an intermodal transportation center in Lackawanna County. Cooney said all the names on

Man allegedly raped local teen

By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES chughes@golackawanna.com

SCRANTON – City police filed charges on Sept. 30 against a 33-year-old man who allegedly raped a local teen over the course of several years. Christian A. Vidal, 33, listed as living somewhere in California, was charged by summons last week after the now 15-year-old reported the repeated sexual assaults to Scranton police earlier this year. According to a criminal complaint: The teen visited Scranton police headquarters with her mother in February to report the assault and was interviewed at the Children’s Advocacy Center in March. During that interview, the girl said she was sexually abused by Vidal on several occasions. The assaults allegedly occurred in her aunt’s home, and Vidal allegedly came into the girl’s room at night when

she was sleeping and forced himself upon her. During the first incident, he allegedly told her to be quiet when she began to cry. Vidal allegedly forced the girl into various sexual acts over the next several years. The girl’s relatives confirmed in a March interview with Scranton police that Vidal knew of the accusations and that he had stayed at their home on several occasions when the victim had slept there. Vidal faces two counts of rape and one count each of involuntary deviant sexual intercourse with a person less than 16 years of age, statutory sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault, corruption of minors, and unlawful contact with minors. All charges are pending. Anyone with information about Vidal’s whereabouts should call the Scranton Police Detectives Unit at (570) 348-4139.

When officers entered the basement, they discovered a thick chain that the boy said his parents shook, telling him that it was a ghost to scare him. He told police that he was forced to wear diapers because there was no working bathroom in the poorly lit basement where he was sent for punishment. As police conducted their investigation, a neighbor notified them that Gardner had arrived home, and they later discovered that Sleboda was in the house the entire time they were on scene. Gardner denied that the child was locked in the basement. Officers discovered two rolls of duct tape in a first floor bedSee COFFIN, Page 10

Unruly customer tased outside McDonald’s By MATT MORGIS For Go Lackawanna

SCRANTON - Police tased a man after he became unruly after he was asked to leave the McDonalds restaurant on South Washington Avenue early Sunday morning. Jerold Johnson, 24, of Depot Street, Scranton, was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest after an incident with police. According to the affidavit: Johnson was starting a verbal altercation with another man inside the McDonalds at about 2:45 a.m. on Sunday. Police asked the men to leave the building, and one left without incident. Johnson started yelling profanities at the officers outside the building. As they tried placing him under arrest for disorderly conduct, he attempted to push them away. Police tased Johnson after he threatened to fight a second officer. Johnson was arraigned Oct. 2 and was released on $20,000 unsecured bail. All charges are pending, and a preliminary hearing is set for Oct. 11.

Corbett’s desk since Aug. 1, according to Rep. Kevin Murphy, D-Scranton, yet no action has been taken. That report calls for several options including but not limited to increasing driver and vehicle fees, uncapping the oil company franchise tax over five years, updating traffic signals to LED lights to improve efficiency, and dedicating 2 percent of sales tax revenue to transit. Funding infrastructure does more than fill potholes and reopen roadways, Murphy added. “Each $1 billion spent on transportation and infrastructure creates 30,000 jobs,” he said. “If we’re doing simple math, if we’re $3.5 billion short in adequate funding our transportation and our roads and bridges, that’s over 100,000 jobs.” Elected officials called for a solid, sustainable plan on Thursday, but that may not be enough to save businesses near the Moosic Bridge. Pauline said work on the structure isn’t expected to begin until 2013. “We’re hanging on by a thread now,” Bower said. “In two years, nobody on Lonesome Road is going to be in business.”

MOOSIC – There was a time when it was dangerous to cross Lonesome Road in Old Forge, according to Bloomin’ Idiots Floral and Garden Center coowner Jackie Bower. “Now, you can go out and play baseball in the middle of it,” she said. The business at 100 Lonesome Rd., Old Forge, is one of several that have been drastically affected by the April 5, 2011 closure of the Moosic Bridge on Main Street. The site was the focus of elected officials and local labor leaders on Thursday who said the state must invest in infrastructure to ensure public safety and put Americans back to work by saving small businesses like Bower’s and putting construction workers back on job sites. “It’s been a long summer,” said Bower, a Moosic resident who opened her business seven years ago. Customers have had to fight back roads and detours to reach the business, and Bower has lost several regular customers. Business is down about 45 percent from last summer’s numbers, accounting for almost $30,000 in

revenue. State Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski, D-Wilkes-Barre, said investments into infrastructure are the victims of “political gridlock” caused by Gov. Tom Corbett’s pledge to not raise taxes in the commonwealth. Stalling infrastructure investments to maintain a political future is “penny wise and pound foolish,” Pashinski said. “Governor Corbett, come out of the office, forget that tax pledge, sit down at the table with the Democrats and the Republicans, and work hard to come up with legitimate solutions to fix these bridges now,” Pashinski challenged while standing near the closed bridge. The state currently leads the country in deficient bridges, according to Roxanne Pauline of the Northeast Pennsylvania Area Labor Federation. Rep. Sid Michaels Kavulich, D-Taylor, said its time for the state officials to “put our priorities on infrastructure… then we can move up the ranks in a lot of other things – jobs, the economy, and public safety,” he said. Recommendations from a Transportation Funding Advisory Commission have been on

DICKSON CITY - For years, the Scranton-Carbondale Highway in Dickson City has been home to many kinds of restaurants, but it never had a New York style delicatessen, until now. Giuseppe’s Italian Deli became the newest addition to the Fashion Mall located in Dickson City when its doors opened on Aug. 29. Owner Joe “Giuseppe” Bonanno, a Queens, N.Y. native, and his wife, Michelle, have been serving Italian delicacies including deli sandwiches made with meats and cheeses from Boar’s Head Meats, Scranton’s Murazzi Meats, and some ingredients imported directly from Italy. Fresh breads are shipped daily from Brooklyn, N.Y., and the deli also serves Mrs. Bonanno’s inhouse, homemade salads. “Our main goal is to mimic an old-fashioned New York style Italian delicatessen,” Mr. Bonanno said. “We have certain things that others don’t usually carry. Everything is homemade and gluten-free. “I wanted to introduce a good, Italian delicatessen in the area,” he continued. “We try to get away from the processed foods and introduce a good, fresh hero and home cooking.” It also saves local patrons a trip for a quality hoagie. “Why drive 100 miles to

New York when you can go to Dickson City?” Mr. Bonanno quipped. Mr. Bonanno makes several unique specialty sandwiches, such as the Five Families, the Bonanno Speciale, the New Yorker, and the Commission. Giuseppe’s is the home of the “Godfather,” a specialty sandwich named for Joe’s father, Tony Bonanno. Sandwiches like the “Godfather” and the Five Families are available to order as six-foot party subs. The delicatessen is also open for breakfast, serving egg sandwiches and platters that include French toast and pancakes. Mr. Bonanno is no stranger to the deli business. In Queens, he ran a well-known delicatessen called Iavarone Brothers for five years. His family, including children Joseph, Jr., Isabella, and Bianca, currently lives in Roaring Brook Township. “We have a Sicilian flavor to all our cooking,” Tony Bonanno added. Recipes from Tony’s mother, who was born in Sicily, have been passed down through generations and have influenced the deli’s unique offerings. Giuseppe’s Italian Deli is open from Monday to Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Delivery service is available from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for a $15 minimum order.

District approves communications improvements

By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES chughes@golackawanna.com

SCRANTON – School directors approved a motion Tuesday night to conduct capital improvement projects that will upgrade phone systems at West Scranton High School and Northeast and South Scranton intermediate schools along with intercom systems at Neil Armstrong and William Prescott elementary schools. The motion also called for studies to be conducted on a security system upgrade at Scranton High School and a kitchen ventilation system at West Scranton High School. Superintendent William King acknowledged the district’s recent failure to meet adequate yearly progress standards in seven of its 18 schools. King said the district showed the most weaknesses in reading and literacy, and some schools failed to show progress because of the failings of certain educational subgroups. Administrators are expected to meet with King on Oct. 11 to review and improve school policies. Schools that did not meet AYP, according to King, were Audubon, Kennedy, and McNichols elementary schools; South Scranton and West Scranton intermediate schools; and Scranton and West Scranton high schools.

dent Rosemary Boland raised several issues including the lack of information over the state of John Audubon Elementary School which has been closed since Oct. 2010 because of mold. Boland said some physical education classes were being held in science labs and traditional classrooms in some build-

ings. “I cannot understand nor do I wish to understand why our children cannot have their physical education class in a gymnasium, if it exists, or a multi-purpose room, if it exists, and in good weather… outside on the school playground,” Boland said.

Coke dealer peddled goods by bike SCRANTON - City police filed charges against an alleged drug-dealer for selling them crack cocaine that he delivered by bicycle on Sept. 30. Rafael Guzman, 39, listed as homeless, was charged with two counts of possession with intent to deliver and one count each of possession of drug paraphernalia and criminal use of a communication facility. According to the affidavit: Police received a tip that Guzman, known on the street as “Papi,” was selling cocaine to buyers and delivering the product on a bicycle. An undercover officer contacted Guzman to buy $50 worth of drugs. Guzman arrived on his bicycle at a predetermined location, met the undercover officer, and asked if they needed either “crack or dope.” When the offi-

cer told him they wanted cocaine, he proceeded to bite open a package of the drug he said was worth $70 to separate it into two pieces. Guzman then asked the officer if he could spend a few nights at their house “because he didn’t have a place to sleep.” When police arrested Guzman, they allegedly found three bags of suspected heroin, the money used in the controlled purchase, and the cell phone used to arrange the purchase. Guzman was arraigned on Sept. 30, and he was held for a lack of $50,000 bail. All charges are pending, and a preliminary hearing set for Oct. 6 was continued until Oct. 13.

In later comments, Director of Elementary Education Lou Paris said that the district made significant cuts including losses through attrition to secure programs after they faced $5.5 million in cuts from the state. “When you have shared staff, it creates critical scheduling problems,” Paris said. “There’s no way we can feed kids and then provide the gym space…. We did the best with what we had.” Boland also said the union has received several complaints over a recent inservice day that focused on the district’s reading programs and left some teachers felt were “a threat.” In other business, the district: • Recognized the efforts of Pennsylvania National Guardsmen Sgt. David Bowen and Sgt.

room where the boy said his mother kept them. In a police interview, Gardner allegedly acknowledged that the boy was placed in the basement as a punishment but claimed he was not locked in, although officers said that upon investigation,the first floor door leading to the basement was still locked. She allegedly told police that she had duct taped his arms or hands in the past “but stated that they were merely playing a game.” Graziano said the 7-yearold and a 1-year-old child were placed into protective custody on the evening of Sept. 26. It took several days for police to file formal charges against Gardner and Sleboda because a forensic interview with the 7-year-old had to be conducted by the Children’s Advocacy Center. That interview was conducted on Sept. 27, according to Graziano. “The children are safe, and that was the main concern: to get the children away from any potential threat,” Graziano said.

Over the last three years, non-profit organizations have faced shrinking budgets and less funding sources. States including Pennsylvania have made drastic cuts to social services and educational programs which has had devastating effects. Many organizations have found themselves in the position of sink or swim. Foundation grants have become one of the ways many organizations have been able to stay afloat. While some may think “you can just write a grant to pay for that,” the process is actually quite complicated. A trip to the library should be everyone’s first step in the grantseeking process. The Albright Memorial Library is proud to offer the Foundation Directory Online free of charge to any library card holder. The Foundation Directory Online is maintained by the Foundation Center, which was established in 1956 as a response to the rampant McCarthyism of the time. Knowledge on philanthropy was scarce and Congressional inquiries were made into private foundations. Several foundations, including Rockefeller, W.G. Kellogg

500 VINE

and Ford, came together to create the Foundation Library Center with a mission to document United States grantmaking activities. At the time, IRS forms could not be duplicated, so staffers traveled to over 12,000 foundations across the country to collect information to form the Foundation Directory. Today, the Foundation Directory Online is the leading source for information on over 100,000 foundations, corporate donors, and grantmaking public charities in the U.S. The Albright Memorial Library is a Cooperating Collection of the Foundation Center, which serves as a supplement to the Foundation Center’s five libraries, located in New York, Cleveland, Atlanta, San Francisco, and Washington D.C. Each Cooperating Collection provides a core collection to users, including The Foundation Directory Online, Foundation Grants to Individuals Online, print directories, and proposal writing guides. The Foundation Directory

Online and Foundation Grants to Individuals are accessible on all public computers during library operating hours. The Cooperating Collection is located in the Reference Room and many items can also be checked out. The library’s collection includes topics on fundraising, non-profit management and grantseeking basics. “The Foundation Directory Online is a great resource for anyone involved with nonprofits. It takes the guesswork out of finding potential funders and helps grantseekers make informed decisions”, says Michele Legate, Cooperating Collection supervisor. Many non-profits have limited resources when it comes to grantseeking and many find it to be overwhelming. “Writing a grant is an arduous process, and using the Foundation Directory Online is one way to help alleviate some

of the stress,” Legate said. On Mondays, Oct. 24 and Nov. 21, the library will host a training and introduction to the Foundation Directory Online from 10 a.m. to noon in the library’s Computer Lab, located in the basement of the Children’s Library. The workshop will include hands-on training and tips on grantseeking basics. For more information or to register, email grants@albright.org or call the Reference Department at (570) 348-3000, ext. 3008.

Six months in, Dunmore band fits its niche perfectly

The Agarwals – Nick Lawrence, Donnie Kirchner, and Steve Keating – plan to record their first fulllength album later this year.

Love of punk drives Agarwals The Agarwals may have only formed six months ago, but the Dunmore-based punk band already plans to be a national household name – at least to that “weird kid” with the mohawk and studded leather jacket you may know. Bassist/vocalist Donnie Kirchner’s love of music was apparent at a young age, picking up a guitar at age 9. By 14, he was “in and out” of several punk bands and took up the bass at 15 during high school “out of necessity.” “The very first thing that pretty much anybody from my family remembers me doing is singing ‘We Didn’t Start the Fire’ at a wedding and nailing every single word, and I was like 5. So as far back as I can remember, the only consistent thing in my life that actually mattered to me has been music,” Kirchner said. He joined a local rockabilly band called The Shakedown Saints but wanted to return to his “first love” of punk rock after they broke up in January. Now 23, Kirchner formed The Agarwals with guitarist/vocalist Steve Keating and drummer Nick Lawrence of Lane 43 and Fridge Full of Popsicles in April, playing their first show in May at Embassy Vinyl, 352 Adams Ave., Scranton. While Kirchner originally planned for the group to be “reincarnation” of one of his old

The Agarwals’ “I’m your Demo/ Smokes, Jokes and Demos” is available as a free download at http://theagarwals.bandcamp.com.

bands, The Disorderlies, they ultimately decided to start fresh with their own tongue-in-cheek identity. “Steve was looking on Wikipedia one day, and the first news article that popped up after he hit ‘random article’ was about this family in India called the Agarwals. They’re like the Indian equivalent of the Vanderbilts. We just thought it would be so hilarious if three Caucasian American punk rockers called ourselves the Agarwals, so that’s how it came about,” Kirchner explained. While their influences range from The Bouncing Souls and Saves the Day to The Ramones and Street Dogs, the bassist describes their sound primarily in local terms. “Somebody asked me once what we sounded like. I said, ‘Well Steve writes like he’s a fifth member of The Menzingers, and I write like I’m a fifth member of Title Fight,” he said. “We put it together and there it is….We got referred to as sounding like Face to Face once, which makes a lot of sense if you put the two together.” A collaborative writing process

produced the band’s four-song, self-recorded demo “I’m your Demo/Smokes, Jokes and Demos,” released Sept. 12 on Kirchner’s own DIY punk label, Big Fun Records. The demo has since been sent to several bigger labels with plans to record a full-length album with producer Joe Loftus, who has worked with Title Fight and The Wonder Years, in December. Their songs about relationships, isolation, depression, and forming a sense of community are all born from personal, localized experiences that Kirchner feels will reach a broader audience. “‘Smokes, Jokes and Bulls---’ is about the desperation of this area, the fact that people get stuck between these two mountains here and they feel like there’s nothing else in the world. It’s kind of like East Mountain and West Mountain start closing in on you as the day goes further,” he shared. “That’s not mentioned in the song, but that’s the concept behind it – this claustrophobia that being in this valley gives you and then having absolutely no money in your pocket to distract yourself from it doesn’t make it any better.” The Agarwals are gearing up for the “Rocky Horror Rock Show” at New Visions Studio and Gallery, 201 Vine St., Scranton, on Oct. 21 and an opening slot for The Misfits at Crocodile Rock in Allentown on Nov. 4.

With Halloween just around the corner, the candy deals and coupons are jumping out of the circulars. As I browse the coupons and deals, a vision of money being tossed in the garbage fills my head. Do you really have to spend a lot of money on Halloween candy? Here are a few tips for buying Halloween candy and a few alternatives to the traditional candy bags. If you are looking for candy deals, it’s a good idea to start by looking at drug stores and Toys R Us to buy candy when it’s on sale, paired with a coupon, and the deal offers a refund on the purchase. Make sure to constantly check www.coupons.com and www.redplum.com for printable candy coupons. These high value coupons disappear quickly. Of course, I am guilty of spending too much money on candy and small, decorative Halloween bags to be sure trick-or-treaters will be thankful and admire the hard work I put into stuffing those little spider bags. With little time to create goodie bags in the past few years, I have saved money and time buy emptying candy into a big bowl and limiting the amount of treats for each visitor. Purchasing fruit snacks or hard candies is a great alternative to chocolate. Once I came to the realization that the trick-or-treaters really don’t care what type of candy they were getting, the pressure started to fade. Other alternatives to giving candy out on Halloween include Wendy’s and McDonald’s Halloween coupon booklets for only $1. The Wendy’s book contains 10 coupons good for a FREE Jr. Frosty valid between Nov. 1, 2011 and Feb. 1, 2012. At McDonalds, the $1 donation will get you 12 coupons for free hamburgers, ice cream cones, apple slices and milk jugs that don’t expire until Dec. 31. If your kids receive too

A lot of television’s best horrorthemed shows, such as “The Twilight Zone” or “Tales From the Crypt,” ended decades ago, but with the rising popularity of horror movies in the new millennium, it was only a matter of time before TV executives got in on the gruesome action. As the fall begins, I’ve eagerly prepared myself for new episodes of “Dexter” and “The Walking Dead,” but I wasn’t ready for the introduction of a bizarre new series on FX called “American Horror Story.” Judging by the pilot episode that premiered Oct. 5, I’d say the series could go one of two ways at this point. It can either capture all that has made American horror memorable in the past or all that has made the genre awful in its current remake-laden, gimmicky form. While often praised, its creators have a spotty record of their own, at best, but I’ll get to that soon enough. It’s difficult to succinctly sum up a show that introduced eight major characters and several plot points in only one hour, but I’ll do my best without giving anything too important anyway. Vivien Harmon and her psychiatrist husband, Dr. Benjamin Harmon, are already having marital problems when she catches him cheating with a younger woman. In an attempt to start over in another town with their depressive daughter, Violet, they move to Los Angles and find a beautiful Victorian home at a great price – three guesses as to why it’s discounted. Horrible things have been happening in the house for decades, including a recent “murder-suicide,” but what could possibly go wrong, right? Their neighbor, Constance, an old Southern belle, and her daughter, Adelaide, make things even creepier with their consistent unannounced visits to the Harmon residence, and a former owner of the house, Larry Harvey, tends to peek in the windows with his half-

INFINITE IMPROBABILITY

RICH HOWELLS burned face at the most inopportune of times. Moira, the housekeeper, only seems to make things messier, metaphorically speaking, with her disconcerting presence, and Tate Langdon, Ben’s disturbed patient, ends up getting a little too close to his already troubled daughter. Have you got all that? Strangely enough, this doesn’t even cover half of what happens in this episode, but that doesn’t mean the show is too busy to pull you in. It feels more like a movie than a television series, which can work to its advantage. I distinctly noted the consistent use of practical special effects in favor of the overuse of computer generated images, a problem that plagues the horror industry at the moment. This attention to detail, along with its sleek visual style and gruesome images, shows that they took their time developing this series rather than throwing a typical ratings-grabber together. The best haunted housecentered films, however, such as “The Amityville Horror” and “The Changeling,” let the audience take in the foreboding atmosphere naturally created by an old home, making you truly feel like you’re exploring its rooms with the characters, hearing every little noise and creak. “American Horror Story” doesn’t give you enough time to take everything in, but with this only being the first episode, there is still time to change that. One of the things this episode did right was inspire more questions than it answered, leaving viewers with these great mystery elements they must solve throughout. The characters are what matter most, but you don’t identify or sympathize with these characters, save Vivien, so much as you can’t turn away from them. This worked for the show’s creators, Ryan Murphy

‘American Horror Story’ debuted this week on FX.

and Brad Falchuk, in “Nip/ Tuck,” their first big hit, but it was also the series’ downfall. The first few seasons really made you love to hate its morally ambiguous characters, but instead of following these flawed but realistic people down a believable road, it quickly devolved into stories about serial killers, incest, and over-the-top sexual deviance. “American Horror Story” should and does have some shocking imagery, and it must be able to go disturbing places that normal television wouldn’t based solely on its name. I hope that it doesn’t sacrifice its ensemble cast to the god of the quick buck. (This is where Murphy and Falchuk’s last popular creation, “Glee,” must have originated from.) Despite his infidelity, Ben isn’t that bad a guy, so I want to watch him fall gracefully rather than cheer for it to happen. In one scene, Violet is cutting herself in front of a mirror, so if they’re going to tackle depression, I hope they do it in a way that realistically portrays her topical struggle and not just use it as an excuse to show more blood. Adelaide’s Down syndrome is handled with surprising class, and while there is plenty of sexual tension throughout, so far it seems to be pushing the envelope while furthering the story rather than cluttering it. Connie Britton is great as the heroine of our story - beautiful,

but worried about her age and dealing with the tragic events of the past year as best she can. Jessica Lange completely steals every scene as our potential

main villain, and Frances Conroy, best known as Ruth Fisher on HBO’s “Six Feet Under,” is also, as always, a joy to watch as the maid with the supernatural split personality. The secrets these characters hold really solidify the weird, sinister vibe this show is going for, which could easily make this one of the best horror offerings the small screen has displayed in many years. It could also be one of the biggest disappointments since Showtime’s “Masters of Horror” churned out more schlock than anything else. My Wednesday nights will be booked for the next few weeks, but only if FX can guarantee a real American horror story throughout this season. With “Dexter” and “The Walking Dead” setting the current precedent, it’s got its work cut out for it.

This week’s Go-Getter, news radio journalist Steve Corbett, can be heard on WILK News Radio Monday through Friday from 3 to 7 p.m. During those hours, Corbett fields calls from listeners and the correspondence that takes place makes up the show’s core. “People want to speak their mind, and this show provides an opportunity to speak their mind. I tell people everyday when I end the show to find their voice,” said Corbett. The host finds it important to break news and give his unique perspective on daily topics, but listeners won’t hear any one voice dominating the discussion. The host and callers open a dialogue that presents their differing opinions. “There is real power in the moment, real power in the intimacy of that exchange, of that pure communication. Obviously, people want to hear what my perspective is, but I want to hear what their per-

ate, so personal and so valuable,” Corbett said. A longtime news columnist including prior work for The Times Leader, Corbett has traveled, worked, and resided in many different areas of the nation throughout his career. He found no trouble transitioning from being a newspaper journalist and columnist to hosting his own live radio show five days a week. He continues to write a column three days per week that can be viewed online at www.wilknewsradio.com. “For me, news is news. I don’t care whether I’m writing it or speaking it, as long as I am uncovering news,” Corbett said. Corbett speaks highly of his roots in Scranton, as they span five generations dating back to 1904. “Northeastern Pennsylvania is unique. It’s different from everywhere, there is no two ways about it. For what I do and the way I do it, you have got to have a vibrant thriving journalism community. We have a vibrant political community, and chaos that exists here absolutely needs people to dig into it. I’ve learned to dance with that chaos, and I’m pretty good on my feet.”

Kingston kids stick to roots Creativity in the music industry is running far and thin these days. Fame-hungry groups will do just about anything to make a quick buck as many of the music-makers that stay true to their roots and originality are being pushed further underground. Title Fight, a four-piece punk rock outfit from Kingston, has found a way to bridge the gap between the do-it-yourself, independent scene and the mainstream. The band - guitarist/vocalist Jamie Rhoden, twin brother combination vocalist/bassist Ned Russin and drummer Ben Russin, and guitarist Shane Moran - pours its heart into its own developed hardcore-punk sound, yet now is one of the hottest bands in the country. “We really do not have a magic formula or anything,” Ned Russin said. “We just play the music we want to play and I guess it happens to be what people want to hear right now.” Title Fight is currently about to start the AP Tour with friends

Four Year Strong. The tour will stop in Allentown on Oct. 13 and Philadelphia on Oct. 15, and the band is on the cover of the November issue of Alternative Press. Title Fight formed in 2003 with one goal in mind: to play as fast and loud as the four possibly could. Eight years later, the young punk rockers have accomplished that goal with May release, “Shed.” Only two songs on the 12track record hit the three-minute mark, and some don’t even reach two. Shed features many references to Northeast Pennsylvania. “The area has everything to do with who we grew up to be, what we’re influenced by, basically just everything we know, so it just makes sense to write about it,” Ned Russin said. Title Fight spent downtime between sparsely booked shows caused by a lack of venues by practicing and writing music. The group has toured the country, played major festivals, and become a well-known name in the punk scene without the help of traditional management or

the help of a label. As the buzz grew, so did the success of the band, and Title Fight decided in February to sign with Los Angeles-based SideOneDummy Records to release its first studio album. SideOneDummy is the label of choice for popular acts Gaslight Anthem and Flogging Molly, among others. “We booked our first tour by asking friends in other cities if they knew anyone who booked shows around them,” Russin said. “We would just keep sending out mass emails until we had enough shows to hit the road. Everything we’ve done has always been a grass roots approach. “The best part about our situation now is that it’s still just us. We don’t have our manager telling us what to do or our label telling us how to write — we’re in control,” Ned Russin said.

Kingston’s Title Fight has two Pennsylvania dates this week on the AP Tour.

“We have people helping us out now, and believe me, those people make it a lot easier, but it’s still just the four of us playing music together.” Title Fight was skeptical about the growth and popularity about the band but has come to enjoy it. “You can’t help but wonder if they have the same interest as the band or are they looking out for themselves. We dropped out

of school for this band, so we still wanted to have a say in what happens, and that’s why SideOneDummy, our management, and everyone else is perfect for us right now and no one else. “We never had dreams of becoming the biggest band in the world. It’s cool we’ve had this opportunity, but all we ever want to do is just play for whoever will have us. At the end of the day that is what we’re doing.”

TOM ROBINSON While the offense clearly is improving behind a line that is giving Marlinn Waiters time to complete passes and Joe McCarthy room to grind out yards, the most impressive thing about the Knights Friday night – and all season – has been the emergence of one of District 2’s top defenses. “All year long, our defense has played very tough,” Scranton coach Mike Marichak said. “Tonight, they came to play. I thought we were physical, we kept Malcolm (Sweeting) in check and our kids were hitting. “Our defensive line, I thought, played tremendous.” All eyes were on the line play when the season started. The question about the Knights was whether they could put one of the Lackawanna Football Conference’s fastest teams in position to excel and whether they could keep opponents from controlling the clock. Fast teams are often noted for their offensive explosiveness, but what can be forgotten is how much speed can

be a factor on defense. The Knights have become more physical on both sides of the ball, but that has given

a chance for their team speed to show up on defense, even more so than on offense. “We have guys that fly

around and they hit people,” Marichak said. See ROBINSON, Page 22

SCRANTON – Special teams stepped to the forefront early Friday night with Scranton playing West Scranton in an effort by bring The Bell back across the city. Joe McCarthy returned the opening kickoff 85 yards for the first of two special teams touchdowns and his younger brother, Jake McCarthy, recovered an on-side kick to start the second half. The special teams provided an assist to the offense, helping the Knights produce 78 points in two straight impressive wins, more than they had combined for while winning just once in the first four games. Rounding out the team with a strong effort in all areas helped turn an intense rivalry game into a one-sided coast to a 49-7 finish. This came just a week after the Knights pounded what had been a 3-1 Scranton Prep team, 29-0.

Reach on par with goals ON CAMPUS

BILL ARSENAULT It didn’t take long for Nicholas Reach to find his niche with the University of Georgia men’s golf team. Reach, a freshman from Moscow (Scranton Prep and Montverde Academy), opened the season with a four-over-par 220 at the Carpet Capital Collegiate Classic in Rocky Falls, Ga. He had rounds of 75, 74 and 73. He followed that up by finishing seventh in the Adams Cup in Newport, R.I. He posted a two-under 214 for three rounds and kicked off the tourney with a five-under-par 67 in the opening round. He fired a one-under-par 69 to help the Bulldogs defeat Princeton and Army in the Northeast Tri-Match in recently Newton Square. “Getting to be around Nick now every day, I could not be more excited about him as a person and as a golfer,” coach Chris Haack said. “He is committed to working hard and his expectation is to get better every time he goes out.” Reach was a three-time District 2 champion while at Scranton Prep and a 2009 semifinalist in the US Amateur. He was the 2010 PIAA Regional champion. He moved to Montverde in Florida to hone his game as a senior. PETERSON KNOWS HIS COACH Sophomore Luke Peterson (Abington Heights) has a good relationship with the golf coach at Baptist Bible. It’s his dad, Dwight Peterson. Luke Peterson has been a solid performer for the Defenders. He posted an 81-78—159 at the PSUHarrisburg Classic and had a 75 in the Scranton Tournament. “It has been a father’s dream to be able to coach Luke,” coach Peterson said. “He has had to carry the pressure of not only being our best player, but also being the coach’s son. But Luke has made it so fun by not just allowing but encouraging my involvement both as a coach and a father.” The coach said he enjoys walking the course with his son, reading putts, selecting clubs and

MANSFIELD’S DEFENSIVE DUO The Mansfield sprint football team’s defense is led by senior Cody Croasdale (Lackawanna Trail) and junior Troy Taylor (Carbondale). Croasdale, an end, leads the Mountaineers in tackles with 26 and has one sack. Taylor has 16 tackles and a College Sprint Football League-leading four interceptions. Taylor was named CSFL Defensive Player of the Week when he collected three interceptions in Mansfield’s 40-2 triumph over Princeton. “Cody and Troy are both doing a great job,” coach Dan Davis said. “Both of them are unselfish players who are willing to play whatever position they need to in order to help out our team. They provide great leadership skills and are very

good football players.” DUO HELPS GIANTS Sophomore Shelby Morgan (Abington Heights) and senior Roseann Rutledge (Old Forge) are solid performers with the Keystone women’s volleyball team. In the early going, Morgan leads the team in kills (55), is second in digs (46) and has 12 service aces and five blocks. “Shelby is my strongest player and is still improving to this day which is why I appointed her as one of my two captains,” first-year coach Nina Del Quaglio said. “She always takes practice seriously and pushes her teammates through drills and games.” Rutledge, who also plays basketball for the Giants, leads in blocks (16) and has 23 kills and nine digs. “Roseann brings a lot of spirit to the team and she is always striving for her and her team to improve. I’m very proud of the player she has become.” Coincidentally, Del Quaglio was a teammate of Rutledge on the 2009-10 Keystone volleyball team.

DISTRICT 2 GOLF CHAMPIONSHIPS

TEAM PLAYOFFS

LMHURST – Ryan Brown won his District 2 boys’ golf championship more than nine hours into the event with a calm birdie on the first sudden-death playoff hole with darkness approaching. The work Brown did before noon Wednesday, however, put him in position to contend for the title.

North Pocono won the Lackawanna League title and advanced to Monday’s District 2 team golf championship match with a pair of 7 ½-1 ½ victories over top seeds this week. The Trojans avenged their only loss when they defeated Abington Heights in Friday’s league final at Paupack Hills Country Club. Both teams had been 10-1 to share the Southern Division lead, but Abington Heights was the top seed for the playoffs because of its earlier head-to-head victory over North Pocono. Abington Heights avenged its only loss during the semifinals Tuesday when it beat Scranton Prep, 5-4, at Glen Oak Country Club. North Pocono went to Montrose the same day to defeat the Northern Division champion Meteors. Monday’s North Pocono-Holy Redeemer district final is scheduled for Fox Hill Country Club.

a firmly struck clinching birdie putt. Medico had missed the green and was already in with a bogey when Brown made the putt. “I really didn’t have too many nerves in the playoff,” Brown said. “My goal was just to get to regionals and I already had that.” Matthews struggled early in the extra nine, but rallied with a birdie-par finish to tie for third, along with Scranton Prep’s Dave Pompey and Delaware Valley’s Cody Cox. While Brown and Medico were deciding the district championship on 1, four other players were on the difficult, up-hill, par-4, 18th playing for the final three District 2 spots in the October 17 Pennsylvania Interscholastic East Regional at Golden Oak Golf Club in Fleetwood. Reeves, who slipped to 42 on the extra nine, was one of two players to lock up spots with pars on the first playoff hole. Erik Montella of Abington Heights was the other. Montella moved from 10th to the

sixth-place tie on the extra nine when he shot 38 in the tough conditions caused by gusting wind. The playoff continued to the par-3 ninth where North Pocono’s Mark Paradise placed his tee shot less than two feet from the cup for a birdie. Lakeland’s Mike Thomas made a tough two putt for par, but was eliminated. North Pocono’s Ken Sames, who tied for third in the state a year ago, was one of two players who missed the playoff by a stroke. Alex Altier of Abington Heights and Evan Joyce of Scranton Prep also made the cut to the final 16 before falling short.

GIRLS Danielle Dalessandro made it a Scranton Prep sweep of the individual titles with a 5-over-par, 77 for a five-stroke victory. Selena Cerra of Holy Cross shot 82, Amanda Reach of North Pocono 84 and Taylor Reeves of Lakeland 87 to also qualify for the East Regional. Forest City’s Katie Zefran was sixth in the 18-player field with a 91. Dalessandro played in the same foursome as Cerra, Reach and Zefran, allowing her to know where she stood in the title chase throughout the day.

SPORTS

Brown, who started on the second hole at Elmhurst Country Club, birdied four of the first seven holes and five of the first 11. “I got really lucky when I chipped in on the fifth hole downhill,” Brown said. In addition to his good fortune on the par-3, Brown had birdies on the par-5 second and sixth holes and the par-4 eighth and 12th. By getting to 3-under after seven holes, Brown took an early lead, which he held through most of the first 18 holes. His 3-under, 33 on the first nine was the best ninehole score by any of the 80 players in the field, including the 16 who played 27 holes to determine the champion and eight qualifiers for state play. Brown and Lakeland’s Greg Reeves each shot evenpar, 72 for a one-shot lead over Holy Redeemer sophomore Mariano Medico and defending state champion Brandon Matthews of Pittston Area. The top 16 went back out for nine more holes and five of those players needed playoffs as well. Brown and Medico finished at 1-over-par, 109 and Brown controlled the playoff on number 1 with a perfectly placed drive, a sand wedge to 10 feet below the hole and

Western Wayne scored the game’s first 16 points then turned back a comeback by defending District 2 Class A champion Riverside in a 22-13 victory.

Dunmore handled Honesdale, 40-13, and Lakeland stopped Carbondale, 21-12. Western Wayne opened the scoring when, after a bad snap, it blocked a Riverside punt through the end zone for a safety.

Scranton Prep’s Kendra Croker slices a backhand against Fallyn Boich of Holy Redeemer in the District 2 Girls Class 2A tennis semifinals Friday afternoon at Kirby Park in Wilkes-Barre.

Prep’s Croker wins title Staff reports

over Wallenpaupack’s Annette Deutsch. Lee had to battle fifth-seeded Alexa Abdalla of Abington Heights, 7-5, 6-3, in the semifinal before beating Ostrowski, 6-1, 6-0, in the final. Abdalla was the only player not seeded in the top four to get through Thursday’s play into Friday’s semifinals. She had one of just three upsets of seeded players in either tournament. The fifth seed lost just six games in four sets while winning her first two matches, then defeated fourth-seeded Kristi Bowman of Crestwood, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3. The top seven seeds made the quarterfinals in each tournament. Wallenpaupack’s Kristin Nalesnik defeated eighth-seeded Jenna Lutchko of Coughlin, 6-3, 6-1, in Class AAA. Valley View’s Kaitlin Barno knocked out eighth-seeded Maria Notarianna of Dunmore,

6-3, 6-3. Both upset winners then ran into the top seeds and eventual champions in the quarterfinals and were eliminated with 6-0, 6-0 losses. Scranton Prep’s Walsh lost just two games in six sets on the first day of the tournament. LOOKING AHEAD The district doubles tournaments are scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday’s action begins at 9 a.m. at Kirby Park and is scheduled to continue until each tournament is down to its semifinalists. The semifinals are scheduled for a 1 p.m. start Wednesday, tentatively at Kirby Park. The team championships are Oct. 18 and 20. Quarterfinal play is at the site of the higher seed. Semifinals and finals are at Kirby Park, beginning at 11 a.m. on Oct. 20.

Rallying being runners Fulton, Md., residents Jessie, 10, left, and Kimmy, 7, Gordon make signs of support for their father, Bruce, during the Steamtown Marathon race expo held Saturday at Scranton High School. A field of about 2,300 runners from 40 states and six countries is expected to take part in the 16th annual event. Buses begin boarding at 5:30 a.m. to take runners to Forest City for the 8 a.m. start of the race that courses through Vandling, Carbondale, Mayfield, Archbald, Blakely, Olyphant, and Dickson City before it concludes in downtown Scranton. An awards ceremony is set for 12:30 p.m. adjacent to the finish line on Courthouse Square. A post race party including live music from Take 3 begins in the Byron Complex on the University of Scranton at 5 p.m. and ends at 8 p.m. The marathon sold out May 6, just 36 days after entries opened, but was able to accommodate all interested runners on a waiting list of more than 500. This is the second straight year that the marathon sold out. Barring a last-minute entry by an elite runner, the Steamtown Marathon course record for women appears safe. An interesting race for the title, however, could develop. Dactilia Booth from Long Branch, N.J., Leanna Nastase from Beaverdale and Reagan White all project their own times in the marathon for 2:55, tied for the fastest among women in the field. Former Riverside High School standout Heidi (Wolfsberger) Peoples set the record at 2:39:48 a year ago. Live updates throughout race day can be found at www.golackawanna.com/sports.

For the second straight year, Courtney Ostrowski of Abington Heights was named District 2 Class AAA champion as the district’s highest finisher but fell to Williamsport’s Taquoia Lee in the District 2-4 Class AAA Regional. Williamsport is a District 4 school. Croker downed Wyoming Seminary freshman Nathalie Joanlanne, 6-0, 6-2, in the final to complete a tournament in which she lost just six games in 10 combined sets Thursday and Friday. Earlier Friday, Croker had handled Holy Redeemer’s Fallyn Boich, 6-1, 6-0, in the semifinals while Joanlanne defeated Scranton Prep’s Emily Walsh, 6-0, 6-2. Ostrowski reached the final with a1-6, 6-2, 6-2 semifinal win

Pittsburgh sends down three

Forward Jason Williams and defensemen Alexandre Picard and Brian Strait were assigned to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins this week when the parent Pittsburgh Penguins made their final cuts before opening the National Hockey League season Thursday. Joe Vitale, who played 60 games for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton last season, made Pittsburgh’s opening 23-man roster. Pittsburgh placed forwards Sidney Crosby, Dustin Jeffrey and Nick Petersen and defenseman Robert Bortuzzo and Boris Valabik on the injured reserve list. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton opened the American Hockey League season at home against Hershey Saturday night.

Jacobs entered into Boston hall of fame

Amber Jacobs, a former state girls’ basketball Player of the Year at Abington Heights and the current women’s basketball coach at Baptist Bible College, was inducted into the Boston College Varsity Club Hall of Fame in September. Jacobs went on to play five years in the WNBA after graduat-

Sunday, October 9, 2011 ing from Boston College in 2004. NHL Hall of Famer Brian Leetch and National Football League star Bill Romanowski were among the class of inductees with Jacobs. “This is an unbelievable honor and I am so appreciative to be recognized in this way,” Jacobs said.

Keystone announces upcoming inductees

Keystone College announced that Lois Smith Bagley, Phil Odom and Angelo Targia will be the members of its seventh Hall of Fame Class, which will be inducted Saturday. Bagley, a 1946 graduate, is being recognized for her accomplishments in basketball and field hockey. She was among the small group who pioneered intercollegiate athletics opportunities for women at Keystone. Bagley was a standout in the only two women’s sports offered at the school during her two years of attendance. After being part of many other activities at Keystone, she went on to earn a bachelors degree at Syracuse University. Odom led the way as the 1990-91 and 91-92 men’s basketball teams went 48-11 under Keystone Hall of Fame inductee Dennis Mishko. Odom’s 322 and 296 assists in a season rank 1-2 in Keystone history.

Marichak said. On opening night, the Knights repeatedly held Wyoming Valley West in check until Penn State recruit Eugene Lewis ultimately allowed the Spartans to take advantage of repeated opportunities in a 21-7 win. In the four games since, Wyoming Valley West has scored at least 33 points each time while averaging 44.3 points per game. A squad that has averaged 32.8 in first halves since, however, managed just seven in the first 24 minutes against Scranton. It was the same story in the LFC Division 1 opener against Valley View, which, like Wyoming Valley West, took a 5-0 record into Saturday. The Cougars had to fight for a single first-half touchdown on the way to a 21-0 victory over Scranton. In their other four games, they averaged 31.3 points in the first half and 38.3 for the game. Only Pittston Area, the other team to beat Scranton, came close to its usual offensive production against the Knights. The Patriots,

Odom went on to graduate from the University of Scranton. He is the Director of Youth Enrichment for the Scranton School District. Targia was a National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) All-American in men’s soccer in 1964 and 1965. On his way to a professional soccer career, Targio was a conference all-star at SUNY New Paltz where he earned bachelors and Masters degrees. The induction ceremony is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. in the Theatre in Brooks, followed by a reception in the Gambal Athletic Center. It is part of Keystone’s Homecoming Weekend Oct. 14-16. Advance registration is required for the reception. For reservations, contact the athletic department at 945-8232.

Scranton basketball co-captains named

Scranton coach Carl Danzig has announced that Luke Hawk, Dan Hilferty and Matt Swaback will serve as co-captains for the upcoming season. Scranton went 20-6 last season when it advanced to the NCAA Division III Tournament.

Pocono, Prep top cross country

North Pocono and Scranton Prep each had big weeks in Lackawanna League boys’ cross

who average 23.4 points in their other games, beat the Knights, 2114, in the second week. Scranton’s 29-0 shutout came against a Scranton Prep team that otherwise averages 27.2 points per game, but could not manage even close to 100 yards against the Knights. The first win came, 48-14, over East Stroudsburg South, which was scoreless until the fourth quarter. After only scoring against the Scranton reserves, ESS has averaged 22.7 points in three games since and 19.0 points on the season. The big plays that allowed West Scranton to average 24 points per game before Friday only surfaced once. The Knights used the time the Invaders had the ball to produce big plays of their own. They forced five turnovers. One of the standouts of the defense was Pat Robinson. Robinson had recovered a fumble and created havoc with his pass rushing. When the defense stopped the Invaders and turned to the special teams work of defending a field goal attempt, he picked up the blocked kick and ran 77 yards for the final score and an appropriate cap to the scoring on a game that was clearly over.

country. North Pocono (15-0) became the last unbeaten when the Trojans and Abington Heights handed Dunmore its first two losses of the season Tuesday in a cluster meet at North Pocono. The Trojans then added wins over Abington Heights, Valley View, Delaware Valley and Wallenpaupack Thursday. Scranton Prep (14-1) moved into second place with two wins Tuesday and three more Thursday when it faced Holy Cross, Riverside and Dunmore.

Elk Lake wins division tennis title

Elk Lake defeated Riverside, 3-2, Wednesday in a playoff to determine the Lackawanna League Division 3 girls’ tennis championship.

Tigue out as Scranton girls’ coach

The Scranton School Board accepted the resignation of Bill Tigue as Scranton High School girls’ basketball coach, effective Sept. 14, at Tuesday night’s meeting. Tigue coached the Lady Knights for one season in which the team went 3-19. Scranton went winless in the second half of the Lackawanna League Division 1 season after going 3-4 in the first half.
