Cuts will take some of the citys most ambitious public safety workers
Mayor Chris Dohertys cuts to the citys fire and police departments continued to resonate throughout Scranton this week. The police department is faced with 13 terminations as the fire department struggles to deal with eight personnel losses as the city simultaneously flounders economically. I took time to further review the conversations I had with city leaders last week to prepare for this weeks issue. It appears that the last man in, first man out methods used in terminations whether theyre financially justified or not

may have hurt just as much as any loss of personnel. Scranton Police Chief Dan Duffy put it best. Typically the norm is that you have the most aggressive and most eager people out there and theyre the newer people in the department, Duffy said. Do I want to lose those people and have them potentially move on to another agency? No, I dont necessarily want to do that, but thats just the way the system works.
Upon reflection, one termination stuck out like a sore thumb even above a member of the police department who was a neighbor of mine growing up in West Scranton. One of the officers losing their jobs is 26-year-old Ptlm. Brennan McDermott. Duffy went out of his way to recognize McDermotts heroics earlier this year when he rescued a family of eight, including six children, from a Prospect Avenue fire on April 26. While McDermott said in April that it was another day on the job, Duffys comments then also rang true. Had he not continued with his efforts in trying to wake these people up and force him-
self into this house, we could have had a major tragedy on our hands, Duffy said at the April 27 press conference he organized. City Council also recognized McDermotts efforts above the call of duty in May and made special note that he would have lost his job through Dohertys proposed cuts in his version of the 2011 budget. Im sure McDermott will find gainful employment, but Im also pretty certain he could have done more incredible things in this city.

Business Administrator Ryan McGowan addresses the revenue shortfalls that have hurt the citys operating budget.
Real estate transfer tax, 888 money put in general fund
By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES chughes@golackawanna.com
CRANTON The citys dire economic circumstances stem from a seemingly obvious place: the loss of revenue and increase in expenditures. But several items either proposed in City Councils 2011budget or discovered during the course of the fiscal year may have warded off the announced cuts of eight fire fighters and 13 police officers. Mayor Chris Doherty announced the cuts on July 29, and they are effective Aug. 29.
In a July 29 interview, Doherty blamed revenue shortfalls on councils reduction in real estate taxes by 10.55 percent and business privilege and mercantile taxes by 25 percent this year, producing what he predicted was a shortfall of $2 million in revenue. Unexpected revenue gone This week, Scranton Tax Collector Bill Courtright reiterated his offices discovery of $569,310 in 888 tax revenue earlier this year. The 888 money is a wage tax placed on non-residents who work in Scranton whose hometown does not have a wage tax. According to City Clerk Nancy Krake, the city received $409,882 of that money in a check dated June 22, 2011. The remainder of the funds was distributed to Lackawanna
County and the Scranton School District, Courtright said. However, the recent sale of the former Mercy Hospital in Scranton to Community Health Systems, Inc., produced an unexpected $2,080,671.04 in real estate transfer tax payable directly to the city, according to Lackawanna County Recorder of Deeds Evie Rafalko McNulty. The citys administrative code says that council may make supplemental appropriations for any lawful purpose from funds on hand or estimated to be received within the fiscal year and not appropriated to any other purpose. Business Administrator Ryan McGowan said Friday that the money has already been put to use.

Council decries Dohertys blame

Council said that they were not informed of the cuts until they heard about them in the media, displaying a continued lack of communication and cooperation between council and the administration that has led to many of their disputes over the last year and a half. Councilman Bob McGoff was on vacation and could not attend the meeting. What Mayor Dohertys doing is just completely pure politics. Hes attacking the police, the firefighters, West Scranton, and North Scranton especially because the police unions and the fire unions have not supported him. Why would they with the way he treats them? And West Scranton and North Scranton has not supported him, historically, so theyre the areas hes going to target. Its all political for him, Council Vice President Pat Rogan said. Mayor Doherty figures in his last two and half years that hes going to put it to everyone who gave him a hard time. Rogan refuted Dohertys statement that emergency response times wouldnt suffer and a decrease in overall public safety would not occur when the cuts

same time last year when factoring in 888 funds, Joyce explained. What Mayor Doherty and the administration fail to reveal, as per (Business Administrator Ryan) McGowans most recent report, is that their projections for penalties and interest, licensing and permits, as well as departmental earnings are collectively $1.26 million under projected, Joyce said, adding that their health expenditure projections were also $3.6 million under. The mayor also violated councils budget, members have claimed, by hiring back four Department of Public Works employees and granting his secretary a raise that wasnt budgeted for. The budget had little chance of being balanced even in January, Joyce said, as the 2010 operating budget had come up over $4.7 million short despite claims by Doherty that it was balanced. This realization was even recognized by the Pennsylvania Economy League. Scranton City Council was not warned that the 2010 operating budget came up $4.7 million short until the city controllers report was issued to council on January 21, 2011, long after the 2011 operating budget, as amended, was passed, Joyce said. They decided to defer $11,282,836.87 worth of bills that were due in 2010 to be paid in 2011, none of which were budgeted for in the 2011 operating budget originally sent down by the administration, he continued. The sum of all current wage tax revenue with 888 funds, current real estate tax revenue, business privilege tax revenue, mercantile tax revenue, and local service tax revenue was projected by council to bring in $37,737,216. As perMcGowans most recent report, he projects that based on current trends that these revenue items that council amended will bring in $37,786,900, making councils projections $49,684 lower than what Mr. McGowan actually projected will be realized. These taxes are the only current taxes that were amended by council, though the administration likes to point fingers at council, saying its our bad revenue figures. Loscombe feels that the administration methodically and systematically sabotaged councils budget by not implementing their revenue suggestions or recognizing their adopted legislation. This mayor thinks hes Walt Disney. Hes only interested in parks, not your public safety, he said. If our budget was followed to a T, wed be in a much better place right now and a much safer placeHe can do whatever he wants. Why is there a supermajority vote if he can still override our override in his mind? Council President Janet Evans cited Article VI, Sections 601 and 602 of the Administrative Code that state that if a cash deficit should arise, the mayor and council must work with the business administrator on an agreeable solution. It also grants council the power to make supplemental appropriations for any lawful purpose from funds on hand or estimated to be received within the fiscal year and not appropriated to any other purpose. Such supplemental appropriations shall be considered by Council as an ordinance amending the annual budget. She also cited Article IX, Section 909 of the Home Rule Charter, which states: Should a deficit develop the Mayor shall make recommendations to minimize the deficit and for that purpose Council may reduce other appropriations. As such, council solicitor Boyd Hughes sent a letter on Aug. 3 to the mayor that demanded cooperation between the administration and council. According to the letter, council will call a special meeting during August to pass an ordinance amending the 2011 budget to provide for the receipt of $2,080,671.04 in realty transfer tax from the sale of Mercy Hospital, $409,882.09 in 888 taxes, and an estimated amount of $246,261.09 in realty transfer tax from the sale of Moses Taylor Hospital. I believe that council should exercise both litigative and legislative measures to stop a mayor who is not only breaking laws, but inventing them to suit his own agenda, and in so doing, is harming the health, safety, and welfare of you, the people of the city, Evans said. We will explore all options possible to help put a stop to what Mayor Doherty is trying to do, Joyce added. This cannot happen any longer, and its going to stop right now. Council received a standing ovation from citizens in attendance, and not one speaker at the meeting agreed with the mayors public safety cuts. The mayor said in an interview on July 29 that councils role in city government is to simply vote the administrations legislation up or down, not to amend and pass their own, with the exception of financial legislation. This is a strong mayor form of government, he said. If we go to court, Im going to say to the judge, You tell me what (bills) not to pay.

SCRANTON A homeless man faces charges after he and two other men that police could not locate were discovered inside of Montage Foods, 885 Providence Road, by the owner. Miguel Valentin faces one count of criminal trespass and one count of criminal mischief in the alleged Aug. 1 incident. According to the affidavit: David Kaplan, who owns the building on Providence Road, was there checking the damage after Fridays wind storm. When he entered one of the offices, he saw three Hispanic males. One allegedly ran away towards a rear exit.

Its not a battle to save jobs. Its a battle to save lives. Councilman Jack Loscombe added that the administration hasnt cited any studies that prove that response times wont be affected and found that many cut positions, such as fire inspectors, are integral to public safety. He was also disappointed that the police and fire chiefs supported the mayors decision. They have to realize theyre not just working for the mayor. Theyre working for us and you, the taxpayer, especially. Thats what theyre there for. If they see that theres a safety problem, they should speak up to the mayor. Thats what theyre there for not to follow his every order, Loscombe said.

After the first six months of this year, as a result of cutting taxes, the city has realized only $333,628 less in real estate tax revenue and $227,637 less in business privilege tax and mercantile tax revenue while the citys actually received $494,164 more in wage tax revenue than it had during the

I wanted the design to convey the scale of the devastation, to show how many horses were lost in the tragedy in a sensitive way, Jamison said in an email. As I was putting the design together, I was struck to see graphically how many horses were lost. You can hear someone say 23 horses were lost and you realize its a lot, but you cant understand the scale until you can see those 23 horses together in front of you, even silhouetted on a computer screen. Then you can begin to see what 23 really means. Gretchen Wyden, of Devine Equine in Clarks Summit, said that an order has been put in for 500 shirts, as well as 600 rubber bracelets, which will be sold at her store.

AH union files grievance

CLARKS SUMMIT The Abington Heights Education Association has filed an unfair labor practice against the school district over the recent public discussions of grievances.
The newest grievance, which Superintendent Michael Mahon discussed during the boards Aug. 5 work session, was filed in response to the boards recent review and discussion of grievances filed by the AHEA during its monthly work sessions and meetings. The unfair labor practice is demanding that we stop talking about grievances, said Mahon. The filing claims that by holding discussions on grievances filed by the AHEA, the district is violating the collective bargaining agreements grievance procedure. It further states that the current grievance procedure re-

Ragtime Rumble, a Clarks Summit Centennial party, will be held Saturday, Aug. 26, from 6 to 8 p.m., at Nichols Village Hotel & Spa. Local restaurants contributing food include Bazil, Formosa, Caravia, Cangianos, Amici, Atlantic Fish, Akita, and State Street Grill. Tickets for Ragtime Rumble Centennial Party are $20 and must be purchased in advance. The ticket also includes a complimentary drink from Maiolatesi Wine Cellars and Summit Beverage. Tickets are available at The Abington Journal, Angels Galeria, Sole to Soul, Sanderson State Street Salon, Everything Natural, Artisans Image, Lynns Hallmark, Clarks Summit Borough Building, Kidazzle, Nichols Village, and from borough council members Barb Evans, Patrick Williams, Gerrie Carey, Kathy Drake, Herman Johnson, Roy Davis and Mayor Harry Kelly, Borough Manager Virginia Kehoe, and borough solicitor Pat Rogan. Shown holding centennial banners are, from left, front, Joe Cognetti, Caravia Fresh Foods; Amanda Liples, Atlantic Fish & Fabulous Foods; Qin Chen, Akita and Matthew Capwell, Nichols Village Hotel & Spa. Back, Michael Lam, Formosa; Bob Carey, Summit Beverage; Reid Holcomb, State Street Grill; and Mike Aloe, Akita.
quires parties to keep grievances confidential and forbids the parties from disclosing grievances to third parties, including the general public. In a phone interview, Mahon said that he has reviewed the grievance procedure and it says nothing about the district not being allowed to discuss the grievances in public. The issue of grievances first came up during the boards work session on June 1. Mahon proposed to AHEA President Marcelle Genovese that one grievance would be discussed during his superintendents report twice a month. Working in chronological order, backward, from the grievance most recently filed, the goal was to look at the districts stance and the associations stance in each grievance in an effort for the public to judge which party has been
more reasonable. When asked during Junes work session if she approved of these discussions, Genovese replied, I have no problem what you do in public, and the grievance discussions began during the boards June meeting. Despite the unfair labor practice, Mahon said grievance discussions during meetings will continue, and later this month this most recent grievance will be discussed in more detail. Genovese was not in attendance Wednesday and did not return a request for comment. In other news, Mahon announced that the new lockers have been installed at Abington Heights High School. The lockers were installed by Upright Material Handling, Inc., at a cost of $98,780. The districts real estate school tax bills have been mailed. Taxpayers who did not receive their real estate school tax bills should contact their tax collector for a duplicate copy of the tax bill.

DUNMORE - The10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks that took place on Sept. 11, 2001 is approaching, and a local veterans advocacy group wants to make sure that local first responders know that their bravery will always be remembered. The Northeast Wing of The Friends of the Forgotten will hold their annual ride at North American Warhorse, 1000 Dunham Dr., Dunmore, on Sunday, Aug. 14. The rides theme, You Are Not Forgotten, has a twofold meaning honoring both the September 11 anniversary and the groups attempt to construct a monument in Dunmore honoring Second Lieutenant Carol Ann Drazba, RN, the first American military woman killed in Vietnam. Most of the events proceeds will go towards the monuments construction, with an official dedication date slated for Oct. 8. This is our usual yearly event but it has turned into something hugemuchbiggerthanwhatwe had expected, said Kim Atkinson,thememberofTheFriendsof the Forgotten who spearheaded
the Drazba memorial. Because it is the 10th anniversaryofSeptember11,wehadoriginally planned on remembering that. In the meantime, all of this happened with the monument and we needed to raise funds. We alsodecidedthateverypolice,fire, EMS,andambulancepersonnelin the valley should be invited to this so we could honor all first responders. We want to honor them the right way. The You Are Not Forgotten ride will feature guest speaker Pat Devaney, a retired New York City Firefighterwhoassistedwithcleanup after the attack on the Twin Towers at 11 a.m. as well as Wounded Warrior Michael Kacer at 2 p.m. A ceremony will also be held that will include the reading of the names of local emergency personnel who were lost in the line of duty as well as a moment of silence for the victims of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Both first responders and veterans are our first line of defense both abroad and here at home, Atkinson said. They work handin-hand with each other; they are both representative of all the people of the United States, and they
are someone who deserves to be recognized. Because of it being the10th anniversary, we want to make sure they are not forgotten, Atkinson continued.Wewanttomakesure that the Towers, the Pentagon, and Shanksville are never forgotten. That is our motto as the Friends of the Forgotten, and we want to make sure it all comes together so we can combine them and honor everyone.

Religious tradition traces roots to Italy
REVENUE
At this point, its been spent on general fund expenses, McGowan said. To carve that out could put the city in an even more precarious position. The city has also projected that it will collect $500,000 more in real estate taxes than council projected in its budget, according to McGowans July revenue and expenditure forecast. Missed money The city has moved slowly on ideas for new revenue generation suggested in a March 31, 2011 letter from the Pennsylvania Economy League, the citys Financially Distressed Municipalities Act coordinator. These revenue initiatives include increased revenue from parking meter enforcement, rental ordinance enforcement, and delinquent real estate tax collection, PEL wrote. McGowan said he is working to revise the request for proposal for the parking meter agreement, and Doherty said that the system is coming. Since they put it in the budget and the budget is the law, I believe we have an obligation to follow that. If its a revenue stream, then its a good thing, the mayor said on July 29. Both Doherty and McGowan criticized councils projection that an improved rental registration program would raise anything more than $30,000.
I think the best we did was $20-$30,000, McGowan said. Now were going to do $150,000? Delays have also hurt a contract with new delinquent tax collector Northeast Revenue Services. Council struck down a plan to have the citys law department file blanket lawsuits for delinquent tax collection last year, and the Scranton Single Tax Office collected them in 2010. A contract with former delinquent tax collector Northeast Credit & Collections was severed in November 2010. In addition, McGowan hasnt seen legislation passed in April that allowed 78 parking meters surrounding Community Medical Center to be bagged. The agreement was intended to aid staff members as the hospital renovated an employee parking garage. CMC was to pay $156,000 a rate of $2,000 per meter in quarterly installments to compensate for lost collections. The legislation was amended by council before final passage to have that money placed into an account to aid police and fire instead of the Scranton Parking Authority. We havent invoiced them, McGowan said. The mayors sister, Virginia McGregor, is vice chair of the board of trustees at CMC. Outstanding expenses Records from the Scranton Single Tax Office sent to council dated July 11, 2011, show that the citys year-to-date collection of real estate, earned income, local service and business privilege taxes as of June It contends that, despite his vetoes against the ordinances, Doherty has an undeniable, clear and ministerial duty to maintain minimum staffing levels of 137 and 150 in the fire department and police department. Unless mandamus is immediately entered by this Court, Plaintiffs will be left without a meaningful remedy to vindicate their statutory interests, and the Mayor will be rewarded for his blatant and willful violation of his statutory obligations. The suit asks that the court immediately rescind the layoff notices issued July 29, 2011 and
30, 2011, were down $3,087,562.96 from collections made at this time last year. At the same time, the city is struggling with a $1.56 million defaulted loan from Pennstar Bank after the Scranton Development Authority purchased the citys delinquent taxes from 2004, 2005, and 2005 with a line-of-credit loan. The city paid a $5 million TAN debt obligation due in June 2011 on March 17, McGowan said Friday. His expenditure forecast shows $5 million in interfund transfers was executed in March. McGowan said Friday that the transfer was from a surplus in the workers compensation fund. The use of workers compensation money to pay the TAN note was approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry, according to McGowan. That probably gave us enough time to take a better look at things, McGowan said. We waited six months to see half of this budget process through and use hard, true data. We did what we had to do to keep people here and to keep paying certain expenses. Both Doherty and McGowan have said that, under the Home Rule Charter, it must pay its bonds and notes. Were not allowed to default on those, Doherty said last week. However, there is no documentation provided in the mayors proposed 2011 budget to account for a late 2010 Tax Anticipation Note payment. A $9.8 million TAN-B note was paid Jan. 3, 2011 according to an April 19 letter from City that the City continue to maintain the minimum compliments defined in File of the Council No. 57 and File of the Council No. 58 until such time as said ordinances are amended or rescinded. Doherty predicted that his decision to eliminate eight fire fighters and 13 police officers would come to a legal battle in a July 29 interview. Im sure somebodys going to go to court on this, but you have to pay your bills. You cant pay people with air, he said last week. If we go to court, Im going to say to the judge, You tell me what not to pay.

first to go, Jackowitz said. Former council candidate Doug Miller was among many who placed blame solely on the mayor. This current financial nightmare is the result of 10 years worth of fiscal mismanagement, the result of $300 million of long-term debt, Miller said.

I dont know why he does thisIf he wants to get rid of people, let him lay off the middle managementLet him take the raises back. He cant go after the police and the firemen.

International Association of Fire Fighters Local 60 President Dave Gervasi believes the administration sabotaged councils 2011 budget by ignoring new revenue streams and possible savings, adding that the deficit is a fabricated threat being used to justify the cuts. This is nothing but a cruel political joke, Gervasi said. This administration has been lying all along. Nelson Ancherani, recording secretary for Fraternal Order of Police E.B.

Bob Martin, who was out of town and could not attend the meeting. His actions show a blatant disregard for the safety and security of the citizens of Scranton and the entire region, Martin wrote. With crime on the rise, particularly violent crimes due to our economic climate and the ever-increasing terror threat since the elimination of Osama Bin Laden, we need every officer we can get. Republican council candidate Lee Morgan criticized the mayor but added that blame also lies with those who voted for him. They refuse to come out and voteHow can the people in the city make a change if they dont vote and they dont get involved? It just cant happen, Morgan said. Unless this council is ready to stand up and fight using the powers its granted in the Home Rule Charter, then were just going to keep spinning around in a very small circle. During their comments, council said they are exploring all their options to combat the cuts, which may include legal action. While regular council meetings are recorded for Electric City Television, council was informed two hours before the meeting that ECTV could not attend the meeting due to But the payment of TAN notes will hurt the city, producing a projected $6,286,613 deficit. scheduling conflicts. While some citizens implied that this was an attempt by Doherty to censor the meeting, ECTV Executive Director Mark Migliore denied this claim when reached for comment on Saturday. That is completely untrue. ECTV remains under-funded and understaffed, Migliore stated. There was only two times we couldnt accommodate council, and both of those times were special meetings that hadnt been on our regular schedule. We try to accommodate everybody and this just couldnt be done. The meeting was recorded by citizens in attendance and will be replayed several times on ECTV, he added.

Members of the Scranton Police Departments Citizens Police Academy gather after graduation ceremonies held in conjunction with National Night Out on Aug. 3.
ARTS
CRANTON The 31 men and women who enrolled in the first Citizens Police Academy conducted by the Scranton Police Department in several years were recognized Wednesday as the city held its National Night Out celebration.
The countrywide event, now in its 28th year, is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness through block parties, police demonstrations and more. This year, the Scranton observance moved from Tripp Park to Nay Aug Park and included displays and demos from the citys Special Operations Group, bomb squad and K-9 unit along with visits from the Scranton Police Department and Lackawanna Ambulance. But Police Chief Dan Duffy also used the opportunity to recognize the citizens
who felt the need to become better informed about and connected with the department itself. Tonight, theyre going to graduate and theyre going to carry that sense of pride to be associated with the police department. Im thrilled to be able to give them that feeling. Now, they can act as ambassadors of the police department, he said. The 12-week program was sponsored by local Geico insurance offices, and the chief plans to run another set of classes to give officers a way to share their love of
their chosen profession to citizens. The program not only gave an inside look into the department. Duffy said it also resulted in shared information from class members which led to some arrests. They are part of the solution, no doubt, Duffy said, touting the departments message of private-public partnership. Funds raised Wednesday night will go back into the community to help neighborhood groups and crime watches fund similar events and continue programs in their respective areas of the city.

CRANTON The members of a South Scranton volunteer group recently recognized by Scranton City Council for their efforts in cleaning abandoned and blighted areas in their portion of the city were at it again on Friday. Pat Hinton, 31, started the Southside Cleanup Crew after years of volunteering his time with various groups in the city.
It feels great; it really was a great honor. All of the volunteers are happy, Hinton said. I appreciate that they recognized us because, by doing so, its going to help brighten our effort to get more volunteers and word out for what were doing. He began his volunteer work with Magistrate Bob Russell, supervising children in a program through his office for about three years.

Beginning with close friends and family, the cleanup crew has since gained the attention of many others and increased in size.

rector. Thats what makes Taylor really nice. The participants of the watch group take daily walks through their neighborhood and even participate in bicycle or driving patrols to keep an eye out for anything suspicious. This is what makes the neighborhood residents feel so safe. They always see the watch out introducing themselves and handing out information, Martin said.
Newly appointed Taylor Police Chief Len Mickavicz, who has been involved with the department for 30 years, said the community has seen a change in population over the years, but overall, they arent facing any issues that are proving to become too overwhelming. Everybody isnt over-
whelmed with the drug problem or anything. We still have a nice, tight knit community. These people here are actively involved, and anything out of the ordinary they report right away. Mikavicz added of the crime watch. Martin said he is very proud that the watch provided help for nine homeless people last year. He and Borough Manager Dan Zeleniak provided people with information on shelters and helped to get them out of the elements. Mayor Richard Bowen is delighted for the help that the group provides for his communi-
ty. They know their responsibilities and they react to their jobs. They do the right thing, Bowen said. Thats what the crime watch is supposed to do. Thats a big help to the borough and the community. Becoming part of the group isnt the only way to help keep the borough safe, Martin said. Its nice for camaraderie, but just keep an eye on your neighbor, said Martin. Dont be ashamed or embarrassed or afraid to ask what you can do if they need help. You dont have to join a crime watch to know to do the right things.
people coming in and out, always have a variation of about three to eight people on average for a project. Hinton said. For example, Fridays cleanup of a lot at 737 Maple St., Scranton, was completed by three volunteers, including Hinton. Since the group is not yet a non-profit organization, the expenses have to be paid for out of pocket by Hinton and other members. They have to purchase their own equipment such as weed whackers, garbage bags, and gloves. It can become expensive at times. Ive considered making the group a non-profit so that we can get donations through state or federal funding, said Hinton. We havent taken any donations yet but well look to soon, whether its through the South Side Neighborhood Association or grants from the state. Last year, volunteers cleaned and improved more than 20 properties. This year, they are on track to fix up over 30 properties after gaining a lot of momentum during this summer. The volunteers have saved the cash strapped city from using existing resources or third-party landscapers to do the job. In South Side there are so many abandoned properties, Hinton said. Its definitely helping the city financially. Adopt-A-Lot, a new program created by the crew, encourages South Side residents to maintain a recently cleaned property. This not only helps the lot but helps the neighborhood as a whole, said Hinton. It keeps the community cleaner and safer and looking better.

When fans come out to see a10 Years concert, the band warns that they better be ready for a real hard rock show. They plan to deliver on Tuesday, Aug. 9, at Eleanor Rigbys, 603 Scranton/Carbondale Highway, Jermyn, with Digital Summer, The Curse of Sorrow, and local favorites Graces Downfall.
The group first gained national attention and radio play with the song Wasteland on their 2005 major label debut, The Autumn Effect. While their continued success has been sweet, bassist Lewis Cosby said the bitter aspect came into play when they began work on their follow-up album, Division, released in 2008. The label demanded softer songs from the group that they believed would appeal to mainstream audiences, but Cosby felt this was disingenuous. They want to make you this larger-than-life pop band, which
were not. Were a rock band in every true sense of the form of being what a rock band is. When it comes to our live shows, if you watched it with deaf ears, it would look like a punk show, Cosby described. People would come out because they were a fan of Beautiful or So Long, Good-Bye, and they get there and theyre like, Oh my God, what the hell is this? because were so not that ballad band. Theyre getting shoved around in the pit and stuff like that.

The Factoryville celebration "Christy Mathewson Days," honoring the borough native and Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher, includes a documentary screening by another borough native, Danielle Wells, this Friday.

ACTORYVILLE Borough native Danielle Wells was always involved in Christy Mathewson Days, including the parade through town.
The annual event to honor the right-handed pitcher for the New York Giants and Cincinnati Reds from 1900 to 1916,
later becoming one of the original inductees in the Baseball Hall of Fame, was second nature to the now 25-year-old Wells. When she brought her husband, Kevin Malone, home for the celebration one year, he saw something more. I realized that it really was something that wasnt common. I think I realized that not every community has something like this, Wells said. It was actually Kevin, who is origi-
nally from South Jersey, who was kind of enamored with the celebration. Kevin said, This has to be a movie.

Band rediscovers origins

Amongst the news of several bands breaking up or going on indefinite hiatus lately, I was thrilled to see that at least one group Im into was weathering the storm of the volatile music industry and, by the sound of it, coming out on top. Boston metalcore outfit Bury Your Dead has seemingly come back from the dead to release a new album called Mosh N Roll last Tuesday that delivers exactly what the title implies.
I was taken by surprise a few weeks back when I heard about its impending release, as singer Myke Terry had called it quits in January in a public statement that implied that his departure was not completely his decision. Remaining band members have since responded with implications of their own, but the question of whos at fault isnt as interesting as the one that has plagued BYD fans since Terry joined around 2008 What exactly is this band supposed to sound like? With records like Cover Your Tracks and Beauty and the Breakdown, they had established themselves as an East Coast hardcore act with a catchy metal groove. The chugging guitars and head banging hooks, led by Mat Brusos harsh but clear vocals, easily made these guys stand out from the pack. Bruso left in 2007 and was replaced by Terry for the next

two albums, which was both good and bad depending on how you like your metal. While I loved both their self-titled release and Its Nothing Personal, many diehard fans were disappointed in the bands steady change in direction. Melodic vocals and more notable shredding took the place of the constant barrage of screaming and chugging, and as the latter title stated, they werent apologizing for trying something different. Hardcore enthusiasts were not, well, enthused. If it was a band by any other name, maybe they wouldnt have cared, but because it was Bury Your Dead, certain expectations were placed on what they could produce, perhaps unfairly. This may have prompted Brusos return on Mosh N Roll. Whatever the story is behind the scenes, its certainly a triumphant return for those on the other side. I caught the band Aug. 1 in Allentown headlining the Over the Limit tour, and while openers like Betrayal and For the Fallen Dreams had the crowd riled up, BYD made Crocodile Rock explode. The new album was still a day away from officially being released, and already fans were shouting along to new tracks like Slaughterhouse 5 and Bluebeard, and by the last few songs, kids were literally climbing the rafters and hurling themselves into the pit. Between band members playing on top of the bar to fans piling on top of each other like football players, the

amount of energy in the room was chaotic and overpowering, and Bruso seemed overwhelmed by the response as he thanked the crowd throughout the show for their dedication and support. He said the Allentown show was the best one they had had on the entire tour, but I can assume that they were received just as anxiously elsewhere as the buzz of their latest release lingered. On Tuesday, it became clear that they delivered. The record is a total throwback to their previous sound, and as the sheer number of choice words can attest, its probably their angriest and most aggressive record to date. Opener Slaughterhouse 5 is classic BYD, kicking the album off with the line, I dressed myself for my own funeral tonight. The rest is just as bitter and cynical. Nothing Is Lost Save Hon-
or delivers a punishing, fist pumping beat, and Deadeye Dick and Sun Moon Star are just as short but similarly brutal. Timequake is one of those great songs to get you through a rocky relationship while Mother Night and Jailbird offer those biting lyrics BYD fans expect. Many songs end with a chant supported by backup voices, encouraging audiences to join in without having to know all the words. I didnt find this album as catchy or diverse as Beauty and the Breakdown, as many reviewers apparently had. The band seemed to capture more of a live performance feel on this one, and thats not a bad thing for an act that knows how to throw down at a hardcore show. This is why its appropriate that the title track that actually concludes the album isnt so much a song as it is the group

reciting their moniker. Mondays concert ended in much the same way, except it was the fans doing the cheering. If youre looking for the same raw energy youll find in a riotous mosh pit, then this album is probably for you. While many bands avoid genre labels, this one has created its own with Mosh N Roll, possibly answering that question of how theyre supposed to sound once and for all.

There, (at Posh) well be able accommodate up to 300 people and were very excited to have the ladies through and to be able to do this for Margaret. Its also great for us because it will be our first event there, said Mast. The projected opening date of POSH is Oct. 15, 2011. Mast said the new endeavor, with a name derived from a mash-up of his and Blackledges first names, will have some distinct differences from The Colonnade.

he comedy envelope has been pushed, pulled, twisted and torn during this current run of smash hit R-rated sex comedies. But The Change-Up, the punctuation at the end of the summer of Bridesmaids, Bad Teacher and Friends With Benefits, dares to ask and answer the question thats been out there since The 40-YearOld Virgin and Wedding Crashers kicked off the craze: How far is too far, and when does amusingly raunchy just seem coarse?
Id say any time youve filmed a script with the phrase projectile pooping youve arrived at crass. Baby diapering scenes? Sure. Lets turn them bottoms up and see in close, anatomical detail what pops out. And adults leave little to the bathroom imagination either in this cute and crude romp through the merits of married life as opposed to single life, and vice versa. Change-Up is an adult variation on the old body-switch idea, a Freaky Friday with a dose of the freaky deaky. Jason Bateman is Dave, a nose-to-the-grindstone lawyer whose marriage has

Hes married to Jamie, played by the vulnerable yet hilariously brassy and bossy Leslie Mann. Somehow Dave has stayed friends with his polar opposite. Mitch (Ryan Rey-
nolds, channeling his Van Wilder past) is a slacker, a pothead actor and womanizer, irresponsible in the extreme and given to shouting inappropriate profanity at Daves tiny kids and into Daves speaker phone at the office. A night of drinking leads them to a shared moment at the urinal in this case, an ornate fountain in one of Atlantas parks. They kvetch. They complain. Next thing you know, theyve said I wish I had your life, and theyve switched bodies. The humor here comes not so much from the Jon Lucas-Scott

Digital animation makes familiar storyline rise above others
ROGER MOORE The Orlando Sentinel
udacious, violent and disquieting, Rise of the Planet of the Apes is a summer sequel thats better than it has any right to be. This movie about how apes rise up against the humans who would trap them, cage them and use them in medical experiments is a stunning job of back-engineering the familiar Planet of the Apes story and another leap forward in performance-capture animation.
As alarming and sometimes bloody as it is, Rise doesnt require a No apes were harmed in the making of this movie credit. Theyre all digital, a performancecapture cast led by Andy Serkis (Gollum in Lord of the Rings). Rise tells the story of Caesar, the son of a smart chimpanzee made even smarter by a viral serum given to him by a scientist, Dr. Will Rodman (James Franco) in pursuit of a cure for his fathers (John Lithgow) Alzheimers disease. When the corporate boss (David Oyelowo) decides the current test-crop of apes is contaminated and must be put down, Will takes Caesar home and raises him as one of the family. Dad gives him the name Caesar. And when Caesars intelligence shows, Will gives Dad the drug and seemingly cures his degenerative brain disease. Early scenes of Caesar gamboling

through the rafters of their big, old San Francisco two-story are reminiscent of Disneys animated Tarzan, long swooping takes of the chimp swinging, clambering, leaping and frolicking. When Will meets a cute and sympathetic zoo vet (Freida Pinto) they even take Caesar to the Muir Woods park to climb the redwoods. But Caesar is still wild, impulsive and sometimes violent, prone to escape and annoy the neighbors. And the vet has a word of warning: I love chimpanzees. Im also afraid of them. Its ap-
propriate to be afraid of them. Serkis gives Caesar a cautious physicality and a wary hooded stare. And the animators capture the glint of intelligence in his eyes. The films first electric moment is a glance between doctor and ape as the now-adult Caesar sees and understands, the instant Will does, that his father is regressing back into Alzheimers. Director Rupert Wyatt stages the films second half Caesars imprisonment in a primate shelter with prison-movie verve, letting us imagine how he will establish himself in his cell block and how he might stage his coup de chimp. Rise of the Planet of the Apes is clever enough to summon memories of Pierre Boulles Vietnam-era sci-fi novel and make you ponder it as moral and racial parable. And its brilliantly executed, rendering previous versions forgettable.

the big business deal his firm has been working on and fight Daves ongoing crush on the office hottie, played by Olivia Wilde as a sexy, smart vamp. She doesnt have the funny or the touching scenes Mann delivers in her wife-and-mother role, but then Wilde has yet to earn them. Nudity, sex, raw language and trips to the toilet while fitfully amusing are here simply for the shock value. This overlong and overly obvious movie has little flow to it, no comic momentum to take us to the ending we see coming pretty much right at the beginning. Yes, its a body-switch comedy where each character learns about himself and the other guys life and is the better for it. The trouble with The ChangeUp is that it doesnt change up enough of the formula to render this new.

SCRANTON Wayne Sebastianellis career in athletics seemed to be coming to a close with an end of his days as a football lineman at the University of Rochester. As Sebastianelli moved on to medical school, he clung to the connections he had made between sports and medicine as an injured athlete. The former Valley View football and baseball player remained in athletics, making a career in sports medicine, a field that barely existed in his days as a student.
Sebastianelli, an orthopedic surgeon, serves as director of athletic medicine and team physician for Penn State University. They werent even in existence, Sebastianelli said of his role as team physician. I think it started as I was going through my residency. I had a person, Dr. Ken DeHaven, who was one of my mentors at Rochester. He was in sports medicine. I played college ball and got to know him through some of my injuries. Sebastianellis work with DeHaven put him on a path toward his current position where his years at Penn State have placed him among the most respected in his field. Although he is a surgeon, Sebastianellis work extends into many other areas. He concentrates on trying to prevent injury and react to poten-

Penn State team physician Wayne Sebastianelli, left, and Dr. Michael Collins were among the key speakers at a seminar on concussions held July 29 at the Commonwealth Medical College.
tial emergencies as well as on surgically repairing damage that has been done on the playing field. Sebastianelli also serves the role of educator in many facets. He is a professor at Penn State. He works with coaches on developing training techniques designed to reduce injuries. He joined Dr. Michael (Micky) Collins, a consultant for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Penguins, July 28 for the first seminar at Commonwealth Medical College in Scranton. At the seminar, Sebastianelli and Collins addressed concussion issues for an audience of nearly 100, made up primarily of medical professionals. Part of dealing with concussions is properly protecting an athlete from the potential of more serious injury from returning to action too soon. It is
one of the many times that Sebastianellis job requires him to balance the aspirations of coaches and athletes with safety issues. His background as an athlete is often beneficial during those times. It definitely helps you relate to people better, Sebastianelli said. It gives you an idea of what it means to compete. Its an asset, but its not an absolute necessity. Sebastianelli has been studying and researching ways to protect and rehabilitate competitive athletes since soon after the time he stopped being one himself. When I became a medical student, I sought (DeHaven) out and started to spend time on the sidelines and in training rooms trying to learn, Sebastianelli said. I tried to break things down fundamentally as
far as injury mechanisms and treatment plans. Sports medicine is really trying to take all of the stuff you deal with as a general orthopedic surgeon and translate it into what the individual is trying to perform, whether its field hockey, football or trying to climb a ladder to hang a light bulb. If you want to treat the person well within their specific job, you should really know what their job entails, whether its an athletic job or an industrial job. The sports medicine industry has grown since the time when Sebastianelli first chose that career path. Adam Taliaferro has credited Sebastianelli with saving his life for his quick actions in the moments after the Penn State football player suffered a poten-
tially catastrophic spinal cord injury in a 2000 game. During his recent visit to Lackawanna County, Sebastianelli offered his insights to help prepare doctors, trainers, therapists and students to make the proper decisions when they are faced with what can be a serious injury situation. We all need to be on the same game plan, Sebastianelli said of doctors, trainers and coaches dealing with concussions and other injuries. We all have to decide how it is going to happen before it happens. Sebastianelli has become a master in developing a game plan and the cooperation between medical professionals, coaches and athletes that can be vital to a successful outcome when the violence that is sometimes part of a game serves to make sports a serious business.

Forest City star players, coach return

By TOM ROBINSON For Go Lackawanna
OREST CITY Dave Shollock grabbed the piece of paper with a big 8 scribbled on it in marker as the final seconds ticked down Wednesday night while his Gold team held on for a 62-61 victory over the Purple in the Alumni Basketball Game that was added to Old Home Week in Forest City. It was time for some quick editing.
Officially, the Forest City Regional High School gymnasium already had been named after Julius Prezelski, but 18 years after Prezelski had retired as the winningest boys basketball coach in Pennsylvania history, that fact was hard to determine for an outsider. Prior to the start of the Alumni Game, covers were removed from each side of the court, revealing Julius J. Prezelski Gymnasium printed on the floor with the number 757 in quotes below it for the number of wins in Prezelskis career. When the Gold, coached by Prezelski, held on for the latest unofficial win, Shollock jokingly added a new touch to the type right in front of the seat that Prezelski occupied for decades, temporarily making the number 758. Many of the top players who made Prezelskis program one the best among small schools in northeastern Pennsylvania for years turned out to take part in the game. Its important to build on tradition, new superintendent and former Scranton Prep coach John Kopicki said during pregame ceremonies. New coach Billy Jones sought to emphasize some of that tradition while bolstering interest in the program. Forest City struggled to 2-12 records in Division 3 of the Lackawanna League each of the past two seasons. Most of the players who re-
turned for the game, which served as a fundraiser for the basketball program and Old Home Week, were part of far more successful teams. The coach who made it possible spent the time leading up to the game sharing memories of the old days and talking about how the game still can and should be taught. Jason Maile and Paul Prezelski, the coachs son, rank 1-2 in school history in scoring with 2,473 and 2,113 points. Both were on the Gold team. Maile was the Associated Press Small School State Player of the Year in 1992, a year after his coach was named Small School Coach of the Year. Maile went on to play at the University of Pittsburgh where his 40-point effort in the Big East Tournament, included a school record eight 3-pointers. After his college career, Maile played professionally in the CBA as well as in Spain, Italy and Germany. Five years after his last professional game in Italy, Maile returned to put on a show in his old gym. Mailes game-high 20 points included six 3-pointers. Two of the3-pointerscame in the first three minutes and the last came on a fall-away shot from the right wing with 38 seconds left for the winning shot. This was a lot of fun, said Maile, a financial advisor in Philadelphia. I enjoyed coming back. Coach was here. Im still friends with a lot of the guys, the younger players that I used to play against when Id come back from playing overseas. Aaron Trusky scored 13 points for the Gold and helped preserve the win by blocking one shot and contesting another in the last five seconds Joey Franceski added 10 points for the Gold while Kevin McGraw had eight, including four in the closing 8-1 run to wipe out a late six-point deficit. Ryan Ogozaly, who joined Maile as the games Most Valuable Players, led the Purple with 14 points. Jesse Walsh added 10 points.

May for $618 in the $285 buy-in events that were the biggest in the room until July 30. When Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs hosted its first $555 buy-in tournament, Trischetta was one of three Lackawanna County players to cash by placing in the top 15. Bennett Winters of Moosic was seventh for $2,561 and Mike Horrocks of Clarks Summit was 15th for $1,271. Trischetta was often situated in or near third place in total chip counts while the final 20 players in the field were weeded out. The bold style that he brought with him from his extensive Internet play often paid off. As the blinds rose to $8,000 and $16,000 with antes of $2,000 in tournament chips, Trischetta made one last move. Action folded around to Trischetta, who pushed all-in from the small blind with 9-3 only to be knocked out when Anthony Casagrande called from the big blind with Ace-10. I had less than eight small blinds left, said Trischetta, who was hoping to get a fold that would have allowed him to collect the antes and big blind. Winters was knocked out minutes earlier when his Ace-5 suited, pre-flop, all-in ran into John Manginis pocket Aces. Winters came up just short of his biggest payday ever, which he earned in the largest nonMain Event in World Series of
The loss of online poker forced Trischetta out of his home and into the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs casino room to try to repeat his past success. It has not always been easy. Its a numbers game, Trischetta said of the multiple-table approach to the fasterpaced game online that allows winning players to ride out unlucky stretches and make the most of profitable situations through volume. The more you play, the better you do. Trischetta came up with his biggest prize since turning to the nearest live poker room for regular tournament action when he took advantage of the biggest tournament in Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs history July 30 to win a $3,176 prize with a sixth-place finish. Until Black Friday, I came here to get away, Trischetta said. Now, Im coming all the time, primarily to play the tournaments. Trischetta is still searching for the consistent results he said he produced online, but he has come through in the biggest events. The Scranton resident is the only player to cash in at three of the four biggest events Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs has hosted since Black Friday. Trischetta made the final table each time. He placed seventh out of 119 in April for $1,154 and ninth out of 102 in

Poker history. Winters made it all the way through a 6,012player field in a $1,000 buy-in World Series of Poker event in 2009 to finish 346th for $2,651. Like more than half of the field, Horrocks made it into the tournament by winning a spot by finishing in the top 10 percent of a $60 satellite tournament. He used the opportunity to earn cash in a casino tournament for the first time ever after about 10 previous attempts. Horrocks broke into the money after 41 minutes of play with the field stuck at 16 players cautiously trying to avoid being eliminated on the bubble. In all, the biggest tournament in the rooms history needed a record 11 hours to reach a conclusion and would have gone longer if not for the final four players reaching an agreement to chop the remaining prize money. David Manzi of Pocono Pines, who was part of an even four-way chop to end the June $285 event, was the clear chip

leader and took the biggest prize at $13,000. If the players had completed the tournament, first place would have been worth $20,140 but fourth would have earned just $5,083. The agreement allowed the secondthrough fourth-place players to walk away with $9,793 each. Manzi led much of the way in the final four hours of the tournament but moved well ahead when his set of Kings won more than $600,000 in tournament chips by beating Kenny Vogel IIs set of 7s and eliminating Vogel in fifth place. That was the biggest hand of the tournament, Manzi said. The tournament set several records for the poker room, which is a little over a year old and has had multi-table tournament play for nine months. The 131 entries and $555 buy-in were the most ever, as was the combined $63,535 prize fund. When the deal was agreed on, it assured all four players of surpassing the previous largest individual prize of $9,225 taken down by the individual winners of the January and February tournaments. Casagrande of Corman, N.Y., Mangini of Hillsborough, N.J. and Matt Treasure of Chester, N.Y. were all close to equal when they agreed to the chop. A Wilkes-Barre native, Casagrandes career includes a $67,551 prize for 13th place in the 2007 World Poker Finals, a World Poker Tour event at Foxwoods in Connecticut. Treasure has multiple career cashes in the World Series of Poker. When Greg Raymer won the 2006 main event, Treasure finished 35th out of 2,576 players for $60,000.

Driver has second most wins at Pocono

Denny Hamlin climbs into the FedEx Toyota to run a few practice laps on Friday.

SUNDAY
10 a.m.: SPEED NASCAR RaceDay Noon: ESPN Sprint Cup Countdown 1 p.m.: ESPN NASCAR Sprint Cup Good Sam RV Insurance 500 8 p.m.: SPEED NASCAR Victory Lane
LONG POND Few drivers have been able to dominate at Pocono Raceway like Denny Hamlin. Yet the driver of the Joe Gibbs Racing No. 11 Toyota believes the track still owes him something. And he might be right after the last time the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series raced at the 2.5-mile tri-oval. Hamlins 19th-place finish in Junes 5-Hour Energy 500 was arguably the most misleading finish among all the drivers. Now, he looks to make amends on Sunday during the Good Sam RV Insurance 500. He was 39th quickest in Fridays first practice, which sets the qualifying order, and was set to be one of the first to hit the track Saturday for qualifying. Honestly, we feel like we should have won twice as many races as we have, Hamlin said. Its every time we go there, were in position to win the race

just about every time. Like in June when Hamlin was on the way to another dominating performance at Pocono. The early part of the race looked as if it would be as impressive as Hamlins July 2006 victory where he led 151 laps. He was out front for 76 of the first 101 laps before troubles on pit road ruined his day. First, Hamlin lost about 10 seconds on pit road to Juan
Montoya during green-flag stops. Later, he had a flat tire coming off pit road. The tire wrapped around the housing and snapped the brake lines. It was just a slew of problems there at the end, Hamlin said at the time. Hamlin has rarely found those troubles at Pocono. His four career victories are second only to Jeff Gordons five among active fulltime drivers. Gordon won in
June, but it took him 37 races at Pocono to get his fifth; Hamlin has won four in just 11 races. Hamlin is also second among fulltime drivers in laps led at Pocono with 574. Gordon leads all with 957, but it took him over three times more races here. And no active driver can top Hamlins average starting position (5.9) and finishing position (9.2) at Pocono. Its just one of those racetracks I have a really, really good feel for, Hamlin said. Theres not too many tracks where you feel when you pull in you just cant do no wrong. (Pocono) is one of those places.
