Tip can make or break a week

Sometimes, a phone call with a droplet of information can make you think that youre about to break something wide open. Then, you fall on your face sometimes repeatedly when you start asking the right questions of the proper people. Such was my experience last week. A call placed early in the week indicated something that turned out to be entirely false. A friend suggested that the police officers who will lose their jobs because of cuts imposed by Mayor Chris Doherty

and effective Aug. 29 werent paid through the citys operating budget. They inferred that the funds, instead, came from the citys Office of Economic and Community Development. That, I learned later in the week, was wrong. But for days, until the return phone calls started coming in, I held hope against hope that this person was right. If they were, wed be reporting something that no one else was.
Weve taken pride in sometimes uncovering stories before our fellow news outlets or being able to balance the news with another side of the story. Alas, poor reader, as phone calls from Doherty, Police Union President Detective Sgt. Bob Martin and the regional offices of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development in Philadelphia revealed, the tip was bad. I hate to admit it, but it was a crushing blow. What good news it would have been to possibly highlight something that could rescue public safety jobs. What delight we would have had in finding the alleged truth first.
But, those are often the cards were dealt. Sometimes, were not given the entire story. That goes for the ones creating the story and those offering information on how to possibly cover another angle to it. Its our job to find truth when it exists. As a citizen as well as a journalist, that can sometimes be a hard pill to swallow. That goes for everything from the would-be OECD cash to criminal court accusations. While people believe we control the information, sometimes it can be held from us, too. Its our job to ask the right questions and tell the most complete, accurate stories we can.

Reader debates blame for jobs n a recent article, professional activists for several left wing organizations attempted to lay blame for the lack of jobs nationwide on the Tea party and Sen. Pat Toomey. These paid activists asked where the jobs that were promised a year ago are. A better question would be where are the jobs that President Obama and the Democrats promised several years ago? We were promised by the president that if his stimulus package was approved, unemployment would be kept under 8 percent. The stimulus passed two years ago and unemployment has remained above 9 percent. The Democrats held control of both sides of Congress from January 2006 until losing the House as of January of this year to the Republicans. Also during that time they had control of the White House for two years. That is more than enough time to turn around unemployment and surely years more than the eight months for which the GOP has controlled only the House. Instead of focusing like a laser on jobs, the Democrats including President Obama chose to instead attempt a reform of our healthcare system commonly referred to as Obamacare, despite strong

opposition nationally and warnings that it was unconstitutional - which several federal courts have since ruled to be the case. Many of the same protesters at Sen. Toomeys office were the same ones staging rallies in front of former Congressmen Paul Kanjorskis and Chris Carneys offices supporting Obamacare. These people simply do what they are paid to do, which is dependent on whatever political posturing their handlers deem necessary. David Kveragas Newton Township Kudos to police academy, National Night Out ur citys perceptive Chief Dan Duffy and Lt. Len Namiotka saw an opportunity to expand their crime fighting tools and were eager to act when they spearheaded the Citizens Police Academy in order to duplicate their efforts. With the sponsorship of Geico and its numerous department heads acting as instructors, the 12-week program was launched. It was well received by Scranton residents, including yours truly, with many more applicants placed on a waiting list for its next class. The curriculum covered
each and every aspect of Scrantons police department including drugs, gang awareness, crime scene investigations, special operations groups, mounted police, and my personal favorites, the K-9 demonstration and ride-along. We were lucky to have the added overview of our criminal justice system with special guests such as the Lackawanna County District Attorneys, Court Administrator Ron Mackay, and the honorable President Judge Thomas J. Munley. Judge Munley gave us a rare peek into his chambers and even posed for photos. The training has since paid off for the police department as they were able to add a few more arrests due to citizens tips, Chief Duffy announced at the class graduation during National Night Out at Nay Aug Park. National Night Out was also supported by several emergency response departments. Attendees had access to ambulances, the Scranton Fire Departments smoke house simulator, and the citys impressive SWAT vehicle. Overall, these were truly valuable experiences for the Scranton Police Department and the people it serves. Blanca Rosenthal Scranton

Study: Pa. child poverty rankings improve slightly Pennsylvania ranks 20th overall among 50 states in child health and well-being, but the recession continues to take a painful toll on the states children and families, according to the latest Kids Count
national survey released Wednesday by The Annie E. Casey Foundation. The state ranked 23rd for several years before the latest bump. Among the areas showing improvement since 2000 are the child death rate, which dropped 10 percent; the teen birth rate, which decreased 9 percent; and the teen death rate, which fell 2 percent. The state also saw discouraging signs since 2000: The infant mortality rate increased 7 percent, low birthweight babies rose 8 percent, children living in poverty jumped 13 percent and children in singleparent families rose 10 percent. The percent of teens not in school and not working grew from 6 to 8 percent. More than 21 percent of Pennsylvania teens failed to graduate with their class in 2010 and the number of dropouts ages 16-24 in the state now stands at more than 100,000. The report also found 29 percent Pennsylvania kids lived in homes where no parent held a full-time, year-round job in 2009, the most recent data available. The national average was 31 percent. - The Associated Press Corbett defends energy stance The Corbett administration on Monday defended its policies on renewable energy and conservation, and said it is not putting aside those efforts in favor of Pennsylvanias booming natural gas industry. The administration responded to a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette story that said the administration is stripping employees from such programs and is forbidding state executive agencies from signing cleanenergy contracts. The changes are merely part of the new approach by Gov. Tom Corbetts energy executive, Patrick Henderson, officials said. Gov. Corbett understands the critical importance of all energy resources, including renewables, both to our economy and our quality of life, Henderson wrote in a letter Monday responding to the Post-Gazette story. He remains committed to policies which respect taxpayer dollars and grow all our energy industries in a sustainable manner. - The Associated Press

School officials, Democrats agree budget is direct assault on most vulnerable

By RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com
CRANTON With only 17 days until the academic year begins, representatives from local school districts attended a state House Democratic Policy Committee hearing at Scranton High School on Tuesday to discuss the damage they said were caused by cuts to public education in Gov. Tom Corbetts 2011 budget.
Not one of the Democrats on Tuesdays panel, which has been traveling around the state gathering testimony, voted for the Republican-backed budget, and school officials made it abundantly clear that they, too, were not in favor of the drastic reductions in state funding. The American way of life, our great democracy, is predicated on a literate people. Today, as never before, theres an effort to destroy
a childs right to a free public education in this country, and that is what brings us here today, exclaimed Rosemary Boland, president of the Scranton Federation of Teachers. The Corbett budget is nothing less than an assault on the core values of our American democracy. Its impact on our educational system is devastating. This budget put out by Gov.

12 teaching positions through attrition, cut two librarians and computer teachers, six elementary positions, and about 4.5 percent of professional staff altogether. Abington Heights also re-bid their insurance, eliminated overtime, and cut supplies and field trips to save money, Superintendent Michael Mahon explained, saying that future pension obligations are also a major concern in the future. I am not concerned for the 2011-12 academic year.However, I am frightened over the future, Mahon said. Its a very easy year compared to what is coming. If we get cut another $5.5 million next year, theres absolutely going to be layoffs, King added. We would have to negotiate with the teachers union to try to increase class size, which is something absolutely none of us is interested in seeing happening. Wed be looking at ending all those wonderful extracurricular activities. Rep. Maria Donatucci (D-185) said she was at a similar meeting in Philadelphia, and while the names and faces changed, the testimony did not. In a lot of the schools in Philadelphia, parents are paying fees so that their children can be in sports programs. I know that there are schools in Philadelphia where theyre doing fundraising in the public school system so that their kids can have extracurricular activities, Donatucci said. Blue Ridge School District Director Alan Hall found that teachers in his district had to take less pay than they had been making the year before just so further cuts didnt have to be made. The Governor Corbett budget demands sacrifices from our students, our disadvantaged parents, and our working middle class, but missing from the shared sacrifice are the wealthiest among us the tax loophole people and corporations and, most stunningly, the Marcellus Shale drillers, Boland said, touching on a topic that was continually brought up throughout the hearing. They come in, they rip apart our infrastructuretheyre polluting our rivers, and they get a free ride. They dont get taxed, King added. Dems: We werent informed The Democrats claimed they could do nothing about the budget or its deep cuts. We, as the Democratic caucus, were not even invited to one of the meeting where the budget was negotiated. Not one. The entire caucus, 91 members, represent six million people in this state, Rep. Joseph Markosek (D-25) said. You can cut flesh, but you cant cut bone. Over the last several years, weve cut a lot of flesh and I think now were getting into the bone, Rep. Ken Smith (D-112) said. When I talk about inequity and I talk about unfairness of a budget, also realize that there are expenses and there are investments, and were cutting investments, Kevin Murphy (D-113) added. King did not have any conversation with the governor either, saying that even the Department of Education has basically been gutted. Thats an empty building down there at 333 Market Street (in Harrisburg).I thought the Department of Education was there to help service school districts throughout the Commonwealth, to help us to perform our duties and to do our job and to raise that bar of expectation and to support us in everything that we do, he said. Committee Chairman Mike Sturla contended that the Corbett budget was never truly balanced and it cannot be a no tax budget with an $800 million surplus and higher school taxes in many areas as direct result of budget. I dont think the public quite yet had understood what this budget did to basic educationThey havent seen 37 kids in their childrens classrooms instead of 25. They havent seen half-day kindergarten instead of full-day kindergarten. They havent seen a lack of after-school programs so they need to quit their job and be home with their kids in the afternoon, Sturla described. They havent seen any of those things affect them yet because the kids arent back to school yet. My guess is that once that happens, my hope anyway is that there is outrage about whats going on here.

Corbett is a direct assault, an attack, on the children and the future taxpayers of this area and across the Commonwealth, agreed Scranton School District Superintendent William King. The goal here is to end public education as we know it. Locally, the Scranton School District suffered the most with $5.5 million in cuts, or $10,000 per classroom and $602 per student. Tutoring programs, the School Age Mothers program, Fast ForWord Reading program, SAVES program, and many others are simply gone, King said. He also listed the absence of an $897,000 grant that funded an all-day kindergarten program, $495,858 for an educational assistance program for after-school tutoring, $286,015 for a charter school program, and $3,809,249 from the basic education subsidy. The all-day kindergarten program, which has run for over 30 years, was saved, King said, because 70 teachers retired and cuts to other programs were made. He believes that the budget was a direct attack on the poor of the city, saying that in Scranton, 61 percent of kids are economically disadvantaged, 17.5 percent of students are labeled as special needs children, and 7 percent are learning English as a second language. While Scranton High School was honored by Newsweek as one of the best high school in country, under No Child Left Behind, it was labeled as a failing school. King said the school had the highest PSSA math scores of any urban school district in the state and the third highest reading scores of 11th grade urban districts. They say that were not getting the job done. Well guess what? We are getting the job done. Struggle outside Scranton Even the Abington Heights School District, the most affluent school district in the region, saw a 25 percent, or more than $1 million, reduction in state funding from state.

UNC of NEPA Executive Director Michael Hanley, Northeast PA Center for Independent Living Service Manager Sharon Quinn, and ARC of NEPA Executive Director Don Broderick testified Tuesday on the dangerous cuts to human service agencies.
Cuts also hurting service groups

SCRANTON Following a state House Democratic Policy Committee hearing at Scranton High School on the affects of Gov. Tom Corbetts 2011 budget on education, local human services representatives testified that their organizations have also been greatly damaged by his cuts to vital programs. Don Broderick, executive director of ARC of NEPA, said Tuesday that the budget has led to $13 million cut from alleged and yet to be identified fraud, waste, and abuse, $5 million from provider group home costs, and a $9 million cut has been proposed by changing how provider occupancy factors are determined. All the cuts jeopardize federal Medicaid matching dollars, which could end up in a $60 million loss in funding and a dramatic negative impact on the organization, which serves those with intellectual and developmental disabilities. He also took issue with a new law that grants the secretary of the Department of Welfare the authority to make changes in assistance eligibility, rates, provider qualifications, and cost-sharing bills without going through the usual approval process. The Office of Long Term Living also changed its policies on billing and rates on Jan. 1, which Sharon Quinn, manager of Independent Living Services at the Northeast PA Center for Independent Living, said will disrupt payment and cash flow and could jeopardize the manage-
ment of services to consumers. The PA Waiver program, which allows financially eligible individuals with disabilities to have their Medicaid or Medicare dollars waived back so they can receive nursing care in their own homes, she believes is under assault by the Corbett administration. Questionable cuts in funding have also continued as more and more reduced budgets are requested, making Quinn ask, Why are you not taxing the gas industry? Twenty-five positions are expected to be cut across 18 centers. Michael Hanley, executive director of United Neighborhood Centers of Northeastern Pennsylvania, said that Corbett is allowing the virtual elimination of the Homeownership Emergency Mortgage Assistance Program in the state, a program running since the 1980s that assists homeowners in danger of losing their homes to foreclosure. Now, in the midst of the greatest housing crisis this country has ever faced, we are left without the tools to assist these families, Hanley said. The Housing and Redevelopment Assistance Program was also eliminated from the budget, which was a key source of funding for the Harriet Beecher Stowe School in South Scranton. The building created construction jobs and provides housing for 18 families. It is apparent that this budget has been balanced on the backs of our children and the most vulnerable in our community, Hanley said.

Abington may rethink insurance policy

By DON McGLYNN dmcglynn@theabingtonjournal.com
Bridge Day celebrates history
The Abington Heights School District is considering reinstating supplemental insurance for athletes. In years past, the district had purchased supplemental insurance for $15,000 a year. Abington Heights decided earlier this month not to purchase it this year, but returning the policy was the main topic of discussion during the school boards monthly meeting held Wednesday, Aug. 17. The decision not to purchase the supplemental insurance this year was based somewhat on the fact that parents have the opportunity to purchase supplemental insurance on a voluntary basis on their own, regardless of whether or not their child is a studentathlete. The district was under the impression that this supplemental insurance would cover students while they were participating in athletic events. Based on this information, the coaches were notified and a letter was issued to the parents stating that the district would not purchase the insurance this year. Since that time, the insurance company called us and said while it is true everyone can purchase supplemental insurance in the district on a voluntary basis, it would not cover the students while playing football, Superintendent Michael Mahon explained. The district also learned that by not including the insurance, they would be the exception, not the rule. I have a problem with dropping it for our athletes. I think if were going to have athletics, I think we need to provide for the students, which is consistent with what other districts are doing, Board Treasurer Louise Brzuchalski said. Several board members echoed Brzuchalskis sentiments but questioned what the policy covers and if they could get a better offer from a different provider, which Mahon said he would research. Business Manager Carolyn Langan intends to retire at the conclusion of the calendar year. The district will begin work to find her replacement soon. In other news, a back-to-school carnival is being planned by the Abington Heights High School National Honor Society at the high school. The event is tentatively set for Friday, Sept. 9. The board will meet for its monthly work session on Wednesday, Sept. 7.

New charges against child porn suspect

Gene Hazelton, charged earlier this year in a child porn case, is accused of touching a 10-year-old in 2009.
Parents faces child endangerment charges

Police report says 5-year-old called 911 when mom didnt return home.
SCRANTON - A 37-year-old man jailed earlier this year now faces charges in the alleged sexual assault of a then-10-year-old girl two years ago. Gene Hazelton, 37, currently being held in Lackawanna County Prison for charges filed in January for possession and dissemination of child pornography, faces two counts each of unlawful contact with a minor and indecent assault of a person less than 13 years of age, and one count of corruption of a minor. Hazelton waived a preliminary on the previous child pornography charges in June. According to the affidavit: Lackawanna County Children and Youth Services notified police of a 12-year-old who accused Hazelton of inappropriately touching her in 2009. Hazelton allegedly took the girl for a walk in Nay Aug Park. While in the woods, the victim stated Hazelton touched her breast on her skin under clothes and touched her crotch over the top of her clothes. New charges against Hazelton are pending, and a preliminary hearing is set for Aug. 23.
SCRANTON A mother and father face charges from city police after allegedly leaving two of their children home alone on Monday. Troy Blount and Sidyea Hainey, both of South Main Street, Scranton, face counts of endangering the welfare of children. According the affidavit: Police received a report from a 911 operator that two children, ages 5 and 3, were home alone. The older child allegedly called 911when her mom did not return home after being out for a long period of time. The children told police that their mom leaves the two other children frequently to either
drop off or pick up their father from work. The officer allegedly waited with the children for 45 minutes before their mother, Hainey, returned home. She told the officer she went to the store a mile away to pick up diapers. Hainey was taken into custody and the children were turned over to Children and Youth Services to be placed in foster care. She was charged with two counts of child endangerment. Blount was taken into custody later that evening as police found him leaving work and entering the Starlight Bar. He faces one count of child endangerment. Both Blount and Hainey were arraigned on Aug. 15. They are currently being held for a lack of $15,000 and $25,000 bail, respectively. All charges are pending, and preliminary hearings are set for Aug. 23.

Clip with a purpose

Couponing can be discouraging because of the time and energy involved, but what if your efforts earned you $100 a month in extra income? Think of your coupons as money. Each week, while holding your Sunday coupons, think of it as if someone delivering $100 or $200 right to your doorstep. Maybe you would have more motivation if you had a purpose to your couponing. For example, think of something that you would like to save for - maybe a vacation, a shopping spree, a new car or simply to have some extra cash in the bank. The state of our economy has changed the way that many people save money. Every penny counts, and clipping coupons may help solve some financial sources of stress each month. Set a weekly savings goal just as you would set a weekly budget. If you plan on saving $10 or $20 with coupons and a store loyalty card, put that extra money away. Dont just

That means you should always break a dollar and never pay with pennies. As a kid you may have put your change in a piggy bank. Well, grab a new piggy and start saving. If you have leftover money at the end of the week, try to save it rather than thinking of ways to spend it. If you are constantly dining out, spend more time planning meals and rent a movie rather than attending one. You will see the savings add up. If you set goals and stay organized, the extra money will add up quickly. Its satisfying to watch those cents add up over time.

SCRANTON Former Lackawanna County Commissioner Robert Cordaro is seeking a new trial, arguing the government withheld information about a prosecution key witness that would have been helpful to Cordaros case. Attorneys for Cordaro also argue U.S. District Judge A. Richard Caputo wrongly precluded the defense from presenting evidence that would have challenged the credibility of that witness. Cordaro was convicted in June of18 counts, including bribery, extorting and money laundering for demanding money from several contractorswhodidbusinesswith the county. His co-defendant, former Commissioner A.J. Munchak, was convicted of seven counts. In a post-trial motion filed Aug. 12, Cordaros attorneys, William Costopoulos and Allen Johnson, argue the verdict should be overturned because the government knew or should have known that a key witness, Al Hughes, had lied on the stand when he said he stopped gambling in 2004. Hughes had testified he was the go-between who delivered thou-
sands of dollars of the extorted money to Cordaro. Cordaro denied taking any bribes from Hughes, whom he said was a compulsive gambler. If Hughes did take any money, he used it to feed his addiction, Cordaro claimed. In its motion, the defense allegesprosecutorsfailedtodiscloseall financial information regarding Hughes, including the existence of casino markers lines of credit casinos extend to gamblers that were issued to him. That would have shown Hughes continued to gamble after he said he quit. ThedefensealsoarguesCaputo erred in forbidding the defense to present witnesses who would have testified about two $10,000 bets Hughes made with Cordaro one regarding the outcome of a college football game, the other regarding whether the county would succeed in selling the Montage Mountain ski resort. That evidence was key to Cordaros defense because it explained some of the checks Hughes had written to Cordaro. It also offered further impeachment of Hughes credibility. Federal prosecutors will have an opportunity to reply to the motion. Caputo will issue a ruling at a later date.

JVW documents wartime experiences of Judge Tom Munley

CRANTON Its been several years since Lackawanna County President Judge Tom Munley has discussed his experiences in the Vietnam War at length in a public arena. Thankstotheworkofafilm crew based in the city, the judges story will be shared throughtheregionspublicaccess channel.
Television in September. Efforts to reach ECTV Executive Director Mark Migliore on a possible air date were unsuccessful. Munley viewed an early cut of the half-hour feature documentary on Wednesday. The film already includes hits from Creedence Clearwater Revival and Three Dog Night to capture the Vietnam era. In the film, Munley describes his upbringing in Jessup and eventual pursuit of a degree in education from East Stroudsburg University. He taught school for one year before voluntarily enlisting and being drafted in 1969 at age 22. During basic training at Ft. Jackson, S.C., Munley was given orders to report for nine weeks of infantry training following basic training. I wondered how could I go to infantry training? I figured I would have a nice desk job, maybe a counselor or something, he recalled in the film. Instead of landing in an exotic country, he received his orders to go to Vietnam. I was thinking, How did this happen? Not only was Munley forced into a place and rank he didnt expect. He was fighting a war he didnt believe in. I never believed in the Vietnam War, he recalled. Once I got my orders for Vietnam, I said, Oh, my God. What did I get myself into? During the film, Munley vivid recalls riding by helicopter to meet the men he would serve with, being dropped in the middle of a clearing, and being greeted by fellow soldiers who emerged from a surrounding tree line. One of the guys - Ill never forget it - he was from Missouri. He motioned for me to come over, Munley said. He said, Whats your name? and I told him. He said, Where are you from? and I said, Scranton, Pa. He said, From now on, your name is Scranton. I was in Vietnam 11 months and five days, and thats what they called me. Munley felt the early cut shown Wednesday was wonderful. I was so honored to have these people do this show for me. I couldnt ask for anything better. I hope in 2016, the show is picked up by Ken Burns, he said. I do feel that I have a story thats worth being told. I want people to understand what war is like, and I want people to understand that all participants arent willing participants. Munley said he was previously a frequent guest lecturer at a course on Vietnam taught by former Scranton Mayor David Wenzel at the University of Scranton.

Vet group leader recalls Vietnam nurse, Sept. 11

Dunmore Class of 60 plans memorial addition

By STEPHANIE LONGO For Go Lackawanna
DUNMORE - The memories of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 flooded back to a local nurse during last weeks You Are Not Forgotten ride, sponsored by the Northeast Wing of the Friends of the Forgotten. The ride had a twofold theme of honoring the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks and the memory of Second Lieutenant Carol Ann Drazba, RN, a Dunmore native. The Friends of the Forgotten are trying to raise funds to complete a memorial in Drazbas memory along Dunmores Blakely Street. Drazba was the first American military woman killed in Vietnam when the helicopter she was riding in along with six other people crashed into high tension wires on Feb. 18, 1966. She was about to begin a period of rest after having worked nonstop for over six months. Guest speaker Pat Devaney, a retired New York City firefighter who assisted with the cleanup after the Sept. 11 attacks, spoke of his experiences to the crowd in attendance at North American Warhorse in Dunmore. His words were gut-wrenching and chilling, said Kim Atkinson, a former emergency room trauma nurse and spokesperson for the Friends of the Forgotten. His account of his experiences and his emotions were just electrifying. As I looked around the crowd, I started to cry. People around me were crying. The firemen had tears rolling down their cheeks. We were so glad to hear his words and so glad to be able to honor the first responders that way. We looked for bodies, we looked for something we could recognize but we found nothing, Atkinson said, repeating Devaneys words. We even looked for glass but the glass had turned to sand. It was pulverized. The bodies had turned to dust. Once in a while they found a piece of a body, like a toe or a finger, but they found nothing else. It was like it all disappeared into thin air. The days events included a
bike ride as well as a ceremony where names of local emergency personnel who were lost in the line of duty were read aloud. There was also a moment of silence for the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks. Although ten years have passed since that day in New York, Atkinson admits that the memories are still as vivid as ever. I first heard of Sept. 11 when I got home from work. I was in the emergency room as a trauma nurse and I had worked the 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. overnight shift and I had come home and gone to bed, she remembered. My son called and told me to turn on the television. I thought there was some sort of accident at first and that a plane had hit the tower. Then I saw the second plane hit and I knew what was happening. That afternoon, when we knew what had happened, I ran back to the hospital and got a weeks worth of scrubs and masks anything I could find, she continued. My colleagues and I started packing IV bags and catheters and bandages. We were ready to go to New York City. We called the Red Cross and told them we wanted to go, and they told us they would come and get us. They never came. When we called back a few hours later, we were told there was no one to save. There was no one for us to help. We all just looked at each other. How could all these people just disappear? It was incomprehensible. They vanished. Atkinson said that her memories of September 11 help her understand what pushed Drazba to enlist to serve as a nurse in Vietnam and that they helped her realize that she deserves a monument in her hometown, which is scheduled to be unveiled on October 8.
I cannot imagine what Carol Ann saw and where she went to debrief herself, Atkinson said. She was going off for that longawaited rest on that fateful day so she could let out those emotions and rest up before she went back to try to help some more. The Friends of the Forgotten are still in need of funds to complete the Drazba memorial. Memorial pavers can be purchased for a tax-deductible donation of $100 for four lines with 15 characters per line. Checks can be sent to the Carol Ann Drazba Memorial Fund, c/o Friends of the Forgotten, 527 E. Scott St., Olyphant Pa. 18447. Raffle tickets are also available to win a 1997 Yamaha Virago 1100 cc motorcycle for $5 a ticket or $20 for 5 tickets. The raffle will take place when all tickets are sold. To purchase tickets, call Kim Atkinson at (570) 3839552. For more information, visit http://friendsoftheforgotten.wordpress.com.
In June 1960, Dunmore High School class valedictorian Anthony Mona Battista had only one thought on his mindhe was about to follow in his late fathers footsteps. He was always into the military because of his father, classmate Joe Morelli recalled. Upon graduation, he got a ROTC scholarship and then became a second lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps. On April16,1966, Battista was killed by hostile fire in Vietnam while rallying his troops. Now, his classmates are trying to preserve his memory as well as the memories of three other Dunmore natives who died in Vietnam at the Carol Ann Drazba Memorial, set to be unveiled October 8. Drazba was the first American military woman to be killed in Vietnam when the helicopter she was riding in became entangled in high tension wires on Feb. 18, 1966. The other Dunmoreans killed in Vietnam were Karl Rynearson on Nov. 1, 1967, Thomas Malloy on Dec. 27, 1967, and Thomas Wharton on June 18, 1970.

We want to remember all of them on this bench, Morelli said. The Dunmore High School Class of 1960 has already raised about $1,000 of the $2,000 needed to purchase the bench and are inviting members of other graduating classes that may have lost a classmate as a result of Vietnam to contribute money toward the bench if they would like. Any proceeds over the $2,000 would be used to purchase another memorial bench at the Drazba memorial site. We feel that our Dunmore pride should work on this and make sure that memorial becomes a reality and that we honor all of our Dunmore heroes, Morelli said. Donations can be sent to Michael P. Ruane, 505 Scott Rd., Chinchilla, Pa., 18410. Anyone interested in contributing in memory of Malloy can call Ann Marie at (570) 591-6210.

Ultralight plane crash kills one

By JERRY LYNOTT jlynott@timesleader.com
SIGNS OF THE SOLUTION
District: All day kindergarten saved
RANSOM TWP. A pilot died Wednesday night from injuries suffered when his ultralight aircraft crashed in a wooded area off Creek Road. The crash occurred around 6:10 p.m. and the pilot died approximately an hour later in the emergency department at Community Medical Center, Scranton, according to Lackawanna County Coroner Tim Rowland. On Thursday, Rowland identified the man as William Spear, a resident of Ransom Township. An autopsy will be scheduled, Rowland said Wednesday. State police on the scene said the plane went down in woods approximately 300 yards from the roadway. The National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration were notified and were expected at the crash site today. A section of the road between Bald Mountain and Milwaukee roads was closed to traffic and state police were protecting the accident scene for the arrival of federal investigators. Arlene Salac, an FAA spokeswoman, said there was only one person on board the aircraft. The FAA will have investigators on the scene, she said, adding, The NTSB is the ultimate agency that is going to determine the cause.

SCRANTON Department of Public Works Traffic Control Repairman Gene Reed, left, with the help of Police Chief Dan Duffy, center, and magisterial district judge candidate Joanne Corbett, hung the first Be Part of the Solution crime watch sign in South Scranton at the corner of Hickory Street and Cedar Avenue on Thursday morning. After hanging nine more signs in lower South Side, Duffy said they would also place signs in Minooka and East Mountain. The first of the 60 metal signs, 10 of which were donated by Corbett, was hung in the Tripp Park section last week. The West Scranton-Hyde Park Neighborhood Watch organized a neighborhood summit with leaders from all areas of the city and asked them to fill out forms with a wish list of locations where they would like to see the signs hung. This continued cooperation between citizens and the police department, Duffy said, is the key to the campaign. We want these in all the neighborhoods, not just the neighborhoods that people identify as being bad neighborhoods. We want the neighborhoods that were considered bad at one time to know that theyre on the upswing right now. Were making a difference and the public is making a difference. We also want the neighborhoods on the outskirts to know that we havent forgotten about them because we dont want their area to get that title, too, Duffy explained. If any of these signs causes just one person to stop and report something anonymously to us and we end up detecting criminal activity or preventing criminal activity as a result, it was a success. - Rich Howells
SCRANTON Members of the Scranton School Board of Directors voted to approve an eligibility list for new teacher hires for only one year at a meeting on Monday, Aug. 15. Rosemary Boland, president of the Scranton Federation of Teachers, said that approving the eligibility list for just one year was highly irregular when compared with the average three-year term and that the interview process was a costly endeavor to repeat annually. Were facing a governor thats very unfriendly towards public education. Due to the unpredictable budgets that may come in the future, the board felt it was prudent to allow the list to be good for one year because we dont know whats going to happen, Board President Bob Lesh said in defense of the action. We dont know how much more this man is going to cut from our budget. Board Director Chris Phillips made a motion to amend the resolution to have the list approved for two years, which Director Kathleen McGuigan seconded. Im not following the train of though with approving this for one year. With the uncertain financial times ahead, we should be possibly approving this for beyond three years, not shortening
it, McGuigan said to applause from the approximately 100 people in attendance. The amendment failed to pass with a 5-3 vote, gaining support from directors Phillips, McGuigan and Patrick OMalley. The original motion for a one-year approval passed unanimously. Director Brian Jeffers abstained from both votes as his brothers name appeared on the list. The approval of the oneyear window follows an exceptionally high retiree rate. Seventy-four resignations were approved in May, approximately three times higher than the average retiree rate. The district interviewed just over 1,000 candidates for positions this year, according to Personnel Director John Vail. Despite drastic cuts to the schools budget, Superintendent William King was able to deliver some positive news Monday. Board members found enough savings to rescue some programs from elimination, including the districts all-day kindergarten program. Rescuing the program was a to priority following the revelation that Gov. Tom Corbetts budget would eliminate $5.5 million in funding for the district.

New document filed in alleged political termination lawsuit against city

DAngelo, who was the only person cut from OECD in the 2011 budget, claims in the suit that he had publicly backed the mayors re-election campaign through placing political signs in his yard, attending fundraisers and working polls on primary and general election days on the mayors behalf. The original suit alleges deprivation of rights, wrongful termination, and violation of the Pennsylvania Wage Payment and Collection Law and requests a trial by jury. In a brief to dismiss the suit filed July 18, Atty. James Scanlon wrote that DAngelos complaint contains nothing more than sweeping, generalized conclusions and bold assertions at the expense of sustainable factual allegations. Scanlon further wrote that the suit fails to present an adequate case that his political activity was a substantial or motivating factor in his termination and that Council is insulated from liability as a legislative body. The plaintiff in this case is attempting to create a political discrimination case when none exists, the brief also states. In the most recent paperwork filed Aug. 1, DAngelos attorney, Johanna L.
SCRANTON -A new document has been filing in an alleged political termination lawsuit targeting the city on behalf of a former Office of Economic and Community Development employee. Fifteen-year employee Leo DAngelo, the citys former director of community planning at OECD, alleged in an original May 12 suit that his federally funded position was cut from City Councils 2011budget because of his political support of Mayor Chris Doherty.
Gelb, writes that the suit does not list City Council as a defendant. City of Scranton is not immune from suit--nor does City of Scranton claim to be. In fact, City of Scranton cannot be immune from suit...Yet, City of Scranton argues on behalf of City Council, when City Council in not a party to this case, the Aug. 1 brief states. It also withdraws DAngelos original request seeking punitive damages seeking additional funds due for accumulated annual leave of more than 114 days and health benefits for up to three years following his termination.

boost Alley Kitchen & Coffeehouse
By TYLER MILES Go Lackawanna intern

CRANTON Changes continue in the building at 515 Center St., Scranton, as TracyAnn Franklin Anderson and her employees work towards making their vision of a SoHo-esque coffeehouse come to fruition.
The Alley Kitchen and Coffeehouse, which opened on July 1, has changed dramatically since Anderson took over as the owner. She and business partner, Attorney Mike Goffer of Waverly, bought the property from the previous owner. New owners have removed the retail space formerly occupied by Outrageous. The Alley, meanwhile, aims for a healthier swing on its grab-and-go menu, serving only fresh, homemade food along with coffee and drinks. The only thing is we dont bake our own bread because we dont have the capacity yet, Anderson
said. Anthology, a second floor bookstore, was already gone by the time she moved into the property, and the space above the coffeehouse is now an artists studio belonging to Jenn Bell. The changes are good. Its more concentrated on the food and the coffee now, Alley employee Amanda Rossi said. It takes some getting used to, but its going really well. Rossi and co-worker Stacy Giovannucci worked there under previous ownership. The customers have been really receptive to the fact that we kept on Amanda and Stacy. I thought that was important to the business and the image, keeping those that people know and people love, said Anderson. Customer reception has been very positive over the first month of operation. So far its been very wellreceived, as long as I can keep building on what was already here. Anderson said. Amanda and Stacy
have seen a build on the customer base. I see a different variety of people now, Rossi said. The business marks Andersons first time as an owner of a coffeehouse. Ive always wanted my own place, Anderson explained. I was fortunate enough to come into a situation where they already have a good customer base, so it was nice that I can pick up where they left off and implement changes as we go. Andersons dream is for her coffeehouse to emit the vibes and sensations of SoHo, an urban area in Manhattan, N.Y., famous for its artists, lofts, and coffeehouses. That goal is solely in her hands now. Theres nothing like being your own boss. I love what I do, said Anderson. On First Friday, Sept. 2, The Alley Kitchen and Coffeehouse will offer live music from the Coal Town Rounders and Echo Whiskey Charlie along with oil and water illustrations from artist Beth Tyrell.

That budget, according to King, included cuts such as: $897,897 from the accountability block grant that helped to fund all-day kindergarten; $495,858 from an educational assistance program that supported after-school tutoring; $286,015 from a charter school reimbursement program; and $3,809,249 from a basic education subsidy. King said, through cuts and attrition, the district was able to maintain as many programs as possible, having the least effect on students as possible and ensuring that employees were not furloughed this academic year. This was not easily done, but it appears as though we were successful in that goal as well, he said. King said the district failed to save EAP tutoring and that a dual enrollment program in conjunction with area colleges will now cost families a portion of
the costs incurred by the district. The district trimmed: $1,323,254 in administrative, teacher, clerical, paraprofessional and maintenance salary reductions; $3,908,429 saved in 2012 through attrition by not filling close to 56 positions; $94,298 by eliminating the intermediate SAVES program; $208,480 by reducing evening police patrols and maintenance overtime costs; and $783,800 in line item reductions. The district is also expected to use $143,000 earmarked for the Career Technology Center capital improvement project and nearly $430,000 in wage tax discovered by the Single Tax Officer earlier this year to fill additional gaps. King said theyre still awaiting final tallies on tax revenues generated for the district through the recent sale of the former Mercy Hospital to Community Health Systems. We should be able to move forward with minimal cuts to programs and to our staff, King said.

A state police forensic team drives into the scene of a fatal plane crash in Ransom Twp. on Wednesday.
PLANE
Mary Lou Vandorick, Tyler Milewski, and Charlotte and Nancy Abbda.
The FAA registry listed the aircraft as registered to Spear. It was a Challenger II manufactured in 1992 by the Quad City Ultralight Corp. The fixedwing, single-engine plane was classified as an experimental aircraft and amateur built. William and Beverly Brown, who live near the crash site, thought their property might be
in danger. It was coming down right near our house about 100-300 feet away, William Brown said. The plane was sputtering really bad, the motor revved up high and the plane shot straight up into the air. After it shot up, we heard it crash into the trees about 15 seconds later. It was very close to the house. We thought it might crash into our garage or house, but the pilot was able to get it off the ground again. Unfortunately, he couldnt save it.

hile the title of Alice Coopers 2011 tour, No More Mr. Nice Guy, may speak for his onstage persona, the shock rocker contends that its all just part of the show. If it wasnt, he may not be here to tell the twisted tale of his upcoming record, Welcome 2 My Nightmare.
SPORTS
The tour will stop at the Scranton Cultural Center, 420 N. Washington Ave., Scranton, on Tuesday, Aug. 23. While starting out in Los Angeles, Cooper said his band first broke out in the 70s in his hometown of Detroit, where crowds were always more receptive to his groundbreaking stage show. Rock n roll is such an American thing. We grew up in average American families, and hard rock was a big deal. Not wimpy rock: it had to be hard rock. If you were in Detroit and you played Seals and Crofts type of rock, theyd just kill you and no judge would find them guilty, Cooper laughed. We just were in the middle of all that peace and love and everything groovy and everybody lived together. Our band just never thought of it like that. We got to Detroit and it was a lot more real for us. Everybody wanted a good car, a good-looking girlfriend, and a lot of money. To me, that made a lot more sense. We were much more hedonistic, I think, about the whole thing. Cooper may have changed the face of rock with his rebellious lyrics and violently theatrical performances, but it was a face that scared many people long after the show ended. Nobody
had ever seen anything like Alice Cooper, if you think of it. Here youve got 1968, and everybody pretty much looked like Creedence Clearwater (Revival), and then all of a sudden you get this band thats got make-up on and half of their girlfriends clothes on and blood and a little violence onstage all put together and its called Alice Cooper. It scared the hell out of everybody, he recalled. As part of the live fast, die hard generation, Cooper struggled with his own addictions but was able to recover before ending up like many of his contemporaries. The rock n roll lifestyle is designed to kill you. You party yourself to death, pretty much. We saw Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix and all of those great people who were friends of ours our generation looked at that and kind of went, OK, how can we live through this and still party? The way it was for me was that I had to separate myself from Alice. Jim Morrison could not separate himself from Jim Morrison, so he was Jim Morrison all the time and that character just couldnt live in a real society. Neither could Jimi Hendrix. Neither could Janis Joplin, he argued. Just about all the eccentric, really great artists tried to be themselves all the time, and honestly, I looked at it and said, Alice Cooper is an animated character. Hes a character I invented. Hes a villain, but he doesnt really exist except when I play him onstage. So when I was offstage, I was totally different than the character onstage, and thats really how I survived it. In fact, some fans may have a tough time recognizing him in daily life.

probably still hates the idea of a nine-to-five job in a cubicle, he listed. So we started writing songs around that, and in the end, we came up with 15 songs and it was, actually, maybe one of the five best albums Ive ever done. The new album will also connect to its predecessor through small musical cues and featured a writing process he has relied on his entire career. Like many horror writers, he says that he writes the punch line first, knowing what the twist will be in the story long before he crafts the music surrounding it. You write the nightmare first and then you can start putting the music to it and say, What would this feel like if it was called Cold Ethyl? Its about a girl that is basically a corpse in a refrigerator. Then you start writing it like that. Every single one of those songs is a comedy. You start looking at the punch line on each one and going, Cmon, this is too funny. Yeah, its disgusting, but its funny, he said with a laugh. You cant just do horror for horrors sake. If you do that, it really is not fulfilling. You have to play horror against romance or you have to play it against comedy or you have to play it against something opposite of what it is in order for it to work. Not only has the man found another creative peak, but he seems to have reached a personal pinnacle as well. Physically, Im in better shape than Ive ever been in my life. At 63, I havent had a drink in 30 years. I never smoked cigarettes. Im pretty stress fee. Ive been married 35 years. Ive got a great band. Ive got great kids. Ive got a great family and a great organization, so Im really not stressed in the least bit, Cooper assured. I think that Ive never outgrown the real love of loud rock n roll and really clever rock n rollEvery night when we go on stage, were having more fun than the audience is. Its fun to have all those 14 hits behind you. The audience is not there to not like you; theyre there to love you, so you give them every reason to love you, and still, theyre afraid of you, which I like.

How much fun is that? Another source of enjoyment for Cooper is his love of crafting a good scary story, which he believes he has done with the sequel to his 1975 debut solo album, Welcome to My Nightmare. Due out Sept. 13, Welcome 2 My Nightmare continues the story that concept record began decades ago. When you do a sequel, youve got to be very careful. In this case, Nightmare 2 is what happens to Alice 30 years later. What would his nightmare be now? We started writing thinking about what Alice would hate about now that he didnt hate then.

The band will be touring through the area as part of the Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival at the Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain on Saturday, Aug. 27. They will be joined by Avenged Sevenfold, Three Days Grace, Seether, Escape the Fate, and more. Guitarist Michael Padge Paget discovered his penchant for music at a young age. He and his friends listened to Nirvana during the grunge era, then moved on to heavier music like Metallica as that genre faded. We were in a band (called Jeff Killed John) before we became Bullet for My Valentine for about 10 years as well, so weve been together for a long time. I think the bass player and the drummer have known each other since they were three years old, so thats how close the band is, Paget said, adding that most of the band were classmates at one time.

Styx, Gowan still successfully sailing away

NEWS
eavy metal act Bullet for My Valentine has gained a dedicated following in Britain as well as the United States, but its their own dedication - to each other and their music - that have kept the band going, in one incarnation or another, since 1998.
The Welch group eventually honed a sound that honored their metal idols while still developing a sound of their own. Now three records in, they have sold over to million albums worldwide and were named Best British Band by both Kerrang! and Metal Hammer several years in a row. While just releasing the successful Fever last year, Bullet for My Valentine already has some plans for their next release. Once we finish Uproar in September or October, when we come back, I think well start right then on the new album. The songwriting process, he finds, is often a spontaneous one. Its just a vibeSometimes we get into a room, write a bunch of stuff, and then go into the studio and just finish the rest in sort of pieces, he described. Hes hoping to experiment a bit more in the future, though not so much that the band loses its classic metal style. The leap across the pond and consistent travel doesnt phase Paget much. It does get tough, but I think that goes with everything, you know? Its just life, he said. In general, its all good. We get to see some of the world and get to travel and do what we love. As a frequenter of many music festivals, he is much more excited to join old friends and make new ones at Uproar. In America, youre always well looked after. The fans are great. The weathers going to be good as well, he said, adding that he is looking forward to touring again with Avenged Sevenfold and Three Days Grace. Hopefully everyones going to get on and its just going to be a nice rolling two months of rock n roll madness.

Bullet For My Valentine hits Moosic with the Uproar Festival on Aug. 27.
Some musicians struggle their entire lives to establish successful careers, but Styx singer Lawrence Gowan has managed to create two during his lifetime. Refusing to rest on his laurels, Styx continues to tour the world and will stop on Friday, Aug. 26 at Penns Peak, 325 Maury Rd., Jim Thorpe. Born in Scotland and growing up in Canada, Gowan found himself, like many of his generation, inspiredbytheBeatlestowantto make music. His love of the craft only grew as his musical horizons expanded. A more serious approach to it came in the early 70s when I saw the early Elton John and the early Rick Wakeman playing with Yes. That just inspired me to want to play the piano to a higher degree, McGowan explained. By age 19, he had earned his degree in classical piano performance from the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, but he still harbored dreams of being in a rock band. He spent14 years as a solo artist in Canada, producing major hits like A Criminal Mind and (Youre a) Strange Animal. Although I had four platinum records and three gold and a gold singleandagoodsixnumberone songs, I just could not get (the record company) to release my records in the United States, so that was a frustration I had to kind of live with, he recalled. But then when Styx came along and we did a couple of shows together and I saw what a fantastic band they are, a couple of years later they asked me to join the group and I thought, Well, this is not how I predicted I would get across the border, but its a fantastic way to do it. Parting ways with their original singer, Dennis DeYoung, in 1999, Styx officially hired Gowan soon after. While he admitted that there were big shoes to fill, he was confident that with talent of the band and his past experience, he would be a good fit. The true test would be how fans would embrace the change. The first night, when I drew

my breath to sing the first line of The Grand Illusion, it did suddenly occur to me that this audience is about to hear this song sung differently by this band than theyve ever heard. I did think, Maybe in about three minutes Ill know if this is a viable thing to do or not, but they were all high fives and standing and cheering at the end of the song, so I figured that I might be able to do this for the next six months, and then that turned into years. The new voice of Styx has since become the only one that an entire generation of concertgoers knows. With over a decade behind them, theyre eager to continue to build on that legacy.

Buds, Blooms and Berries beckon at Everhart

By MARY THERESE BIEBEL mbiebel@timesleader.com
CRANTON - Next to his larger-than-life sculptures of a bristly Thistle and a Chalice seed pod was an explanation from Fritz Dietel. I am intrigued with plant imagery: flowers, buds, pollen, nuts, seed casings and bark, the Philadelphia artist wrote. I am interested in the way two different forms join, such as how an acorn cap joins the nut or how shoots emerge from a bulb.
If you stroll through the Everhart Museums new exhibit, Buds, Blooms and Berries: Plants in Science, Culture and Art, youll realize many artists share Dietels fascination. The results of their inspiration range from strawberries stitched on a sampler and an orchid represented in gold and enamel to a tribute to roadside weeds painted by Chet Kalm, who admires the way they appear almost everywhere, waving in total abandon, springing up in an arrogance that intimidates all other growth. The work of scientists is represented here, too, especially in the collection of botanist Alfred Twin-
ing. Then there are the crafters who have used plant materials in all sorts of ways. Over the centuries they fashioned wooden cabins and canoes, gathered herbs for medicine, wove leis and wreaths and baskets and made clothes for their families. I was amazed by all the work that went into this one dress, Chris Medley of Dickson City said during the exhibits recent opening reception as she admired a childs embroidered linen dress and a spinning wheel.

After just finishing 22 shows with Yes and four shows of their own, the band took a short break before hitting the road again for the current tour. Lesser musicians may have taken the remainder of the year off, but when fans make their demands, Styx certainly listens. Were a group of those odd musicians that actually embrace the rigors of touring. We actually thrive in that environment rather nicely, Gowan admitted. In fact, since I joined the band, weve played more live shows in the last12 and a half or 13 years than theyd played in their entire career prior to that. Thats quite a feat.

Northeastern Pennsylvania has a rich historical legacy founded in the coal, iron, textile, and railroad industries, and the city of Scranton is home to a variety of museums that celebrate that legacy including Steamtown National Historic Site. The park, which is located on 40 acres of the original Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroads Scranton yards, was established in1986 to tell the story of railroading in America. It consists of a locomotive and restoration shop, museum complex, visitors center, theater, and an operating roundhouse with turntable. The museum collection includes locomotives, freight cars, passenger cars, and maintenance-of-way equipment, and train excursions, interpretive programs, guided tours, and train operation demonstrations are offered on a regular basis. Steamtown National Historic Site traces its beginnings to Bellows Falls, Vt., where, from 1961to1983, Steamtown USA operated with a collection of over 40 steam engines and railroad rolling stock. The museums remote location made it difficult to market, and it closed in1983. At that time, a group of local community leaders visited Bellows Falls to discuss moving the collection to Scranton and on Feb. 4,1984, an estimated10,000 people turned out to welcome a Canadian Pacific locomotive spewing out black and grey smoke as it chugged along the tracks into Scranton officially marking the arrival of Steamtown USA. The collection was located to the site of the former Scranton yards of the Delaware Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company (DL&W). Train excursions to Elmhurst started later that year in September. Early estimates stated that the new venture in Scranton would attract 200,000 to 400,000 visitors annually. But when only 60,000 visitors arrived in1987 and the1988 excursions were canceled, it soon became obvious that Steamtown USA was not the projected success early investors had anticipated. With ridership revenue as its only source of income, the museum suffered major financial set backs and faced bankruptcy. So in1986, the state stepped in

to provide a $1million grant and the U.S. House of Representatives, led by Scranton native Rep. Joseph McDade, approved the spending of $8 million to review the collection and convert it into a National Historic Site, a Railroad Park of America. Steamtown National Historic Site opened on Oct. 31,1986 and this Halloween will mark its 25th Anniversary. It is the only unit in the National Park Service that is devoted to telling the story of steam railroading. Perhaps one of the sites busiest times is during Labor Day weekend, when it conducts Railfest. Railfest hosts a variety of visiting equipment including Norfolk Southern Corporation and Reading Railroad diesel locomotives and a special visit from the Amtrak 40th Anniversary Train. Caboose rides, excursion trips, and locomotive shop demonstrations provide visitors with an authentic interpretation of the Steam Era. It is a great way to celebrate our historical legacy and support its preservation.

Be afraid of quality in Fright Night remake

You cant judge a book by its cover, but can you judge a movie by its trailer? These days, it seems like you can. The very idea of remaking Fright Night, a classic 1985 horror film, makes me shudder, and not in the way the title implies. A lot of fans are upset about the 2011 update released on Friday, but the problem is that many will see it anyway just to see how bad they screwed it up, inflating its box office numbers. The first trailer released a few months back told me all I needed to know about this one, including the fact that I dont need to see it to know why its a completely misguided reboot. We immediately open on the nerdy Charley Brewster lying in bed with his sexy cheerleader girlfriend as she takes her shirt off. Talk about pandering to the lowest common denominator right off the bat. In the original, Charley also has an attractive companion, but one that a geek like him would realistically date in high school. Like the true horror buff that he is, hes about as interested in her as he is in watching late-night scary movies. His imagination, fueled by his fandom, leads him to believe that his neighbor is a vampire,

and no one believes him despite the building evidence. This plot may have already been clich by 1985, but several factors kept the movie from descending into banality. Like most good horror, the movie doesnt take itself too seriously, yet it also inserts plausibility where needed to keep the audience engaged. After his friends and his own mother dont believe him, he calls the police, and when that doesnt work, he looks to his hero, Peter Vincent, for help. Vincent was a B-movie vampire slayer who is now a washed-up host of a TV show called Fright Night that often replays his old films. Brewster may not be so cool, but he is a clever kid who can think on his feet, even when the vampire-next-door, Jerry Dandridge, threatens to kill his mother if he tells anyone else about his nightlife. In the remakes trailer, however, hes so oblivious to the murders that he needs his best friend to connect the dots for him. He then looks up on his cell phone how to pick a lock. This is our new hero, folks so helpless that he needs his phone to aid him in opening a door.
Not that Jerry is much brighter in this version, either. Instead of stalking his prey and leaving the mess elsewhere for the cops to clean up, he lures them back to his home and keeps them locked up. The whole point of him moving to a small, quiet neighborhood is so he wont attract attention, yet he kidnaps every young blonde in a three block radius and no one catches on? Hed be on Nancy Graces hit list within 10 minutes, yet it only becomes less plausible from there. He could kill off Charlie and bury him, but he figures that blowing up his house is much more subtle. Then, he uses his superhuman strength to throw a motorcycle at Charleys car while its speeding through a residential neighborhood. Arent these modernizations supposed to be less over-the-top than their predecessors? Yes, the original is so quintessentially 80s with its dated wardrobe and synth soundtrack, but when did that become a bad thing? In the 2011 version, Peters character has become a Criss Angel-type magician, because magicians are so well known for hunting vampires. I
assume they changed this because some executive felt kids today wouldnt know what a midnight double-feature horror host is, but why cant they learn? Why are we so averse to introducing our kids to the classics? My parents fed me a steady diet of Monty Python and movies played on AMC, and if they hadnt, I may have ended up a Michael Bay fan who still thinks Adam Sandler is funny. One of the things that made Fright Night work was that it was as much a tribute to those schlocky old films as it was one that made those conventions stand on their head. It not only retains a certain charm, but provides many memorable characters with memorable moments. I had to re-watch the 2011 trailer again just to recall what I wanted to write in this paragraph. Needless explosions, stunt magicians, 3D special effects if you want to argue that 80s movies are dated, wait until you watch this one again in 20 years. If you can find it, that is. I have nothing against the new cast. Anton Yelchin is a good up-and-coming young actor, and many people hate on Colin Far-
rell, but he usually gets the job done, for what its worth. Christopher Mintz-Plasse, best known as McLovin from Superbad, is a strange choice for Evil Ed, Charleys oddball best friend. While David Tennant, better known as Dr. Who, as Peter Vincent has convinced some fanboys to check this one out, I think hes going to need more than a TARDIS to save them all from this mess of a script. They can jam-pack this thing with all the stars and cult heroes they like nothing is going to make me forget the original. Whether it be the slick vampire seduction scene or the thrilling final confrontations with the villains, Fright Night has continued to be one of my favorite horror films, so much so that I had to meet both William Ragsdale, the original Charley, and Chris Sarandon, the true Jerry Dandridge, at a horror convention a few years back. The reason they were there was simple fans remember a good movie when they see one. Will I be paying for Yelchins autograph in 20 years? If I am, it certainly wont be on a Fright Night poster. Mine is already hanging on my bedroom wall.

wore it, Medley said. Was it her best dress? Or her only dress for that year? A placard near the display explained how early settlers grew flax in their gardens and how women would sing or tell stories as they used spinning wheels to spin the flax fiber into linen thread. In other sections of the exhibit, rugged logging tools, a sickle and hay rake hint at the hard work involved in long-ago harvests. Delicate china reminds museum visitors of the sugar (from sugar cane) and chocolate (from cacao) once served in them. And the work of glass artist Emma Stein plant images fashioned from glass and resting in cushy cloth bassinets makes note of the fact some plants can be dangerous. But most of the exhibit celebrates the useful features of plants, including the fortunate-for-humans equation in which vegetation takes in carbon dioxide and gives off oxygen. Here, too, the beauty of growing things is on display, as in the 11-by-17-foot piece that graces one wall.

We talked as a team about playing for pars all day long. No heroic shots. Eric Montella tied for seventh overall with a 74 while Alex Altier and Anthony Sebastianelli tied for ninth with 75s. The top four players out of six on each team produce the team score and Abington Heights won with its total of 296. I came in wanting to play for the team, Coldwater said. We like to win as a team.

LACKAWANNA LEAGUE GOLF PREVIEW
Tourney indicates little change in best teams

NEWS
By TOM ROBINSON For Go Lackawanna
OUNT COBB The Jackman Memorial Tournament serves as both a start to the high school golf season each year and an early indication of who the players and teams to beat are in the Lackawanna League. With all but the bottom two teams from the Northern Division last season in action, the medal play event provides a look at overall team strength before the teams get into their match play competition in the league.
Fridays tournament showed, as expected, that Southern Division members Scranton Prep, Abington Heights and North Pocono should again be the leagues top three teams. The convincing 10-stroke win by defending Southern champion Abington Heights over defending league champion Scranton Prep restarted the debate on the team favorite. Now we know who we have to worry about, said Scranton Prep coach Ed Cimoch, who was disappointed his team was unable to defend its title. Thats what is great about this golf tournament. At least nobodys hiding any more. Everybodys out there. You know what theyve got and you have to deal with it. Abington Heights defeated Scranton Prep in league play last season, but the Cavaliers came back to win the league championship match on the way to a third-place finish in the state. Friday showed that the Comets, along with North Pocono, will again provide a challenge for Scranton Prep. Our guys have to start playing better, Cimoch said. Its as simple as that. While pleased with his teams start, Abington Heights coach
Mike Williams also knows there are challenges ahead. Prep had a bit off an off day, Williams said. We know the Prep kids are very good. Theyre going to shoot better than today. You dont know what is going to happen in match play. Its an interesting format in high school sports. Abington Heights is led by the return of seniors Eric Montella and Dalton Coldwater, Fridays individual champion. Erics one of the best players in the area, Williams said. Anthony Sebastianelli, second among sophomores in the Jackman, joins juniors Alex Altier, Jamie Egan and Will Swisher in the lineup. Scranton Prep returns senior Ryan Brown, who played in the PIAA individual state championships as well as the team event, and junior David Pompey, who advanced to PIAA East Regionals. Juniors Evan Joyce and Joe Chudhauri and sophomore Nick Johnson also return. Senior Jack Knowles joined them in the Jackman lineup. Jack Lawless gives the Cavaliers a strong seventh player who could spend some time in the lineup. North Pocono may have the strongest 1-2 punch in seniors Mark Paradise and Ken Sames. Sames finished third in the state last year. He tied for third at the Jackman by overcoming a triple bogey start to shoot 73. Paradise tied for third in District 2 last season, the best finish among any of the leagues returning players. Its the teams that we expected, North Pocono coach Dan Kopcza said while scanning the Jackman leaderboard. Five starters back, five starters back, five starters back. It looks like a repeat of last year. The Trojans finished fourth in the Southern Division then reached the league semifinals where they lost to Scranton Prep for the second straight year. North Pocono could actually put six returning starters in the lineup. Defending District 2 girls champion Amanda Reach did not play Friday because the
girls Jackman Tournament is set for Tuesday, but she joins the team in league play. Juniors Kerry Collins and Kevin Nardella return along with sophomore Richie Antonio. Riverside, Dunmore, Holy Cross, Delaware Valley and Valley View could be in contention for the divisions other three playoff spots. Dunmore, under first-year coach Mark Finan, was fourth in the Jackman while Riverside tied for fifth. Riverside and Delaware Valley both won playoff matches last season. Jackman sophomore champion Nico Munley leads the way for Riverside. Valley View went just 2-9 but returns six of the eight players who started at times last season. Junior Gary Geldhof shot 82 to help the Cougars finish in the top half of the 21-team field. Delaware Valley, which edged North Pocono for third in the division last year, finished last in the Jackman but was playing without top returnee Cody Cox. Scranton, Old Forge, West Scranton and Mid Valley complete the Southern Division. Montrose, which has lost just twice in the division in the last four years, is a slight favorite for its third straight Northern Division title. Lakeland, the divisions top team in the Jackman with a tie for fifth, and Western Wayne, which tied the Meteors at 10-1 last season, are the top threats. Mike Thomas, Mike Brennan and Greg Reeves form a strong junior class for the Chiefs. Traditionally strong programs at Honesdale and Wallenpaupack could also be in the mix. Junior Dalton Mecke leads the way for Lackawanna Trail, which has a chance to again make the playoffs. Forest City and Mountain View could be the top playoff threats chasing the Lions. Carbondale, Blue Ridge and Elk Lake complete the division. Blue Ridge and Susquehanna finished in the bottom two spots last year before joining together in a cooperative sponsorship.

Keystone announces two new soccer coaches

SPORTS BRIEFS
Hettes wins UFC debut Swoyersvilles Jimy Hettes remained undefeated as a Mixed Martial Arts fighter Aug. 14, making a successful debut with Ultimate Fighting Championship on the UFC on Versus 5 card at Milwaukees Bradley Center. Hettes defeated Alex Caceres by submission with a rear naked chokehold at 3:12 of the second round to improve to 9-0 as a professional. Hettes has stopped all nine professional opponents after doing the same against all four opponents in his amateur career. Hettes signed with UFC after winning the main event of the first card at Mohegan Sun Arena July 16. He was rushed into action to fill in when Leonard Garcia had to miss the bout with Caceres because of injury. Forest City standout commits to Kings Forest Citys Cassie Erdmann has committed to Kings College where she is one of five incoming recruits for the womens basketball
Keith Moore and Noel Cox take over the Keystone College soccer programs at a time when the school appears ready to make a bigger commitment to the sport. Moore is the new mens coach and Cox the new womens coach at Keystone, which had one person run both programs each of the previous four years. Chad Prince served as both mens and womens head coach in 2009 and 2010. Winga Siwale was the mens coach for six years prior to that and handled double duty as womens coach in 2007 and 2008. Its definitely an exciting time, Moore said. Theres definitely a commitment to soccer. Splitting (the coaching duties) was a great start. Moore meets with his team for the first time today with practice starting Monday. Cox discussed the upcoming season between her first two practice sessions Friday. The girls are excited, she said. Theres a commitment from the school. I feel like Im coming in at the right time. Both new coaches have backgrounds on the Division 1 level. Moore played four years at the University of Maine before going on to the Professional Development League of the United States Soccer League as a member of the Brooklyn Knights. Along with eight years of club and Olympic Development coaching, Moore spent the last two seasons as assistant coach at Elmira College where the Giants will open their season.
Moore said James Gizmo Bell and Sean Jones, the teams two seniors, stood out, along with sophomores Michael Wells and Danny ORourke. Bell and ORourke, a goalkeeper, will serve as captains. ORourke played all but 36 minutes in goal last season. Wells was third on the team in scoring with four goals and four assists. Although the programs will now be under two different coaches, the new leaders described their approach similarly. Each will try to get the Keystone teams to play a possession game while remaining aggressive in looking for attacking opportunities.

I was definitely ready to become a head coach, Cox said. I was ready to take the next step.

Bill Burke coaches both teams. Kathleen Druther, a junior from Scranton Prep, was the conference Rookie of the Year in 2009, the first of her two years as a first-team Landmark all-star. Chris Wasnetsky, a three-time Landmark runner-up and twotime NCAA qualifier, returns to the team after a year away from the program.

Tennis stars return to Prep, AH

Abington Heights and Scranton Prep return five of the six singles players that helped them go unbeaten while winning Lackawanna League girls tennis division titles last season on the way to District 2 championships. Riverside has less experience but is in a division where other teams were also hurt by graduation losses. All three teams are favored to defend their titles in a league that opens play on Monday. Abington Heights returns its top three singles players Courtney Ostrowski, Alexa Abdalla and Allie Pusateri as the Lady Comets try to repeat a 12-0 Division 1 season,
extend a 13-match league winning streak and pursue another District 2-4 Class AAA team title. They did a good job for us last year, Abington Heights coach Tom Lavelle said. Obviously, its going to be a good thing having them back. Ostrowski landed the rare accomplishment of district singles, doubles and team titles last season. She was District 2 singles champion as the last player from the district to advance in the District 2-4 Class AAA singles tournament, where she lost in the final. The loss meant she was eligible for doubles (state qualifiers from singles cannot participate in doubles) where she teamed with Morgan Fayocavitz on a District 2-4 title
and a berth in the state tournament. Mary Chuff, Alyssa Laubham and Liz Archbald have experience as doubles players. The league schedule opens Monday with Abington Heights at Delaware Valley, West Scranton at Scranton and North Pocono at Delaware Valley in Division 1; Mid Valley at Valley View and Western Wayne at Scranton Prep in Division 2; and Riverside at Dunmore and Elk Lake at Holy Cross in Division 3. Wallenpaupack went 10-2 last season when Delaware Valley and Honesdale tied for third at 7-5. Wallenpaupack and Delaware Valley are both bringing back teams with experience and depth,
Lavelle said. We open up with Wallenpaupack. It will be a good challenge right away. North Pocono, Scranton and West Scranton held the bottom three spots in Division 1 in 2010. Kathleen McKenna takes over for John Hubert as head coach at Scranton Prep, which won the last two Division 2 titles and enters the season on a 22-match league winning streak. The Classics are led by the return of senior Emily Walsh and junior Kendra Croker. A year ago Walsh and Croker combined for four straight 6-0, 6-0 wins on the way to the District 2 Class AA doubles final after Croker

Rodriguez brings spotlight

MOOSIC August excitement at PNC Field has come in the form of locking up another division title in each of the four years the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees have been in existence. Yankees fans apparently are going to have to look beyond division titles and probably even wild-card playoff berths this year. Instead, Alex Rodriguez brought the excitement this week with a two-game stopover, joining Roger Clemens as the biggest of a series of Major League stars who have made appearances here on the Class AAA level for injury rehabilitation stops. Crowds of 9,328 and 10,408, about triple the typical Tuesday and Wednesday night size, showed
KEEPING SCORE
TOM ROBINSON
up to cheer on and occasionally boo A-Rod as he worked his way back from July knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus. They were awesome, Rodriguez said about the local crowds. They were excited. I got a kick out of all the reactions for every little move. What those fans saw is Rodriguez look just fine at the plate and shaky in the field, enhancing speculation that he may be more of a designated hitter than third baseman as the New York Yankees go through their latest pennant race. Rodriguez went 2-for-5 with two walks in two games against the Durham Bulls. After an RBI single in the eighth inning of Wednes-
days game, he left for a pinch hitter, a move that got an immediate reaction of a few boos, which quickly turned into a standing ovation from most of the crowd as he jogged off the field. As is often the case when a rehabbing Major Leaguer draws extra fans to the park, when Rodriguez made his way to the dugout for the last time, about 10 percent of the crowd instantly headed for the exits as well. It did not matter that they were watching a one-run game in the bottom of the eighth. The Major League star coming down for a night or two in the minors has a way of stealing the show. The presence of Rodriguez, however, actually offered some interesting comparisons with the players trying to work their way up. Wednesdays game was high-
lighted by the battles between Rodriguez and Durham pitcher Matt Moore. Moore, a hard-throwing lefty, led all of minor league baseball in strikeouts last season with 208 in 144 2/3 innings. He is second this year. Moore was leading the Southern League with 131 strikeouts when wins in six straight starts earned a promotion from Class AA to Class AAA. In six International League starts, he has already struck out 51 and walked just nine while winning a Pitcher of the Week award and posting a 1.04 earned run average in 34 1/3 innings. The only two walks against Moore on Wednesday were worked out by Rodriguez, who needed to foul off four two-strike pitches to fight his way on base.

Central City wins title, 5-3

Staff reports
Countys Aaron Polin (3) slides safely into third base before Anthony Maro of Central City applies the tag in the championship game of the City-County Little League tournament in West Scranton on Tuesday night.
att Berardelli pitched three scoreless innings in relief and Collin Schaub drove in the game-winning run Tuesday night as Central City won its first City-County Little League championship with a 5-3, eight-inning victory over Throop at the West Scranton Little League Field. Central City, sponsored by JSW Insurance, pulled out the win in extra innings after the teams were tied through six. The City-County Tournament is for the championship teams from each of the
District 17 and 32 Little Leagues. JSW won the Central City league title, then won five games in the CityCounty Tournament. The title was the first in City-County history for the Central City Little League and the first appearance in the final for the league in 25 years. Berardelli and Jimmy Forsette each had two hits and scored twice in the final. Ross Zanghi, who pitched the first five innings, also had an RBI double. Forsette doubled and scored on Zanghis double in the top of the first.
Throop tied the game twice, but never led. Anthony Maro singled in the eighth inning and scored on Schaubs hit. Central City added another run before the top of the eighth was over. Ross Zanghi was the manager of the team with help from coaches Mike Forsette and Art Michael. The team included Forsette, Zanghi, Berardelli, Maro, Schaub, Lynn, Len Floyd, Damian Gregorski, Sean Bagasevich, David Gonzalez and Antowain Kizer.

With a thunderstorm approaching, Coldwater and Palma hurried out to 1 for a playoff while the last of the team scores were still being totaled. Palma got into trouble down the left side off the tee and Coldwater safely put the title away with a bogey after just missing on his birdie chip and par putt. I just tried to keep it in play, Coldwater said. With Coldwater, taking the overall title, Palma received the award for low senior. North Poconos Ken Sames took second among seniors on a match of cards over Honesdales Mike Kussoff after each shot 73. The top two in each class received trophies. Two Comets took second place.

The good thing is that kid Matt Moore, youre talking about an extremely impressive young man, Rodriguez said. He threw the ball extremely well. It was a great challenge. Any time you face a lefty that can get it up in the mid-90s with a change-up and a slider, I thought it was a good battle. Opposite Rodriguez as his teams top offensive threat was Hazleton Area graduate Russ Canzler returning to play close to home as the league leader in both on-base and slugging percentages. Hes very impressive, Rodriguez said. Hes got a lot of bat speed. Hes probably a little nervous with his family here, but hes got a great future.

Alex Rodriguez speaks with the press Tuesday night.
Rodriguez made a point of spending some time with while with the team to provide encouragement and guidance about trying to get ready for being a part of the big-league club in the future. Rodriguez could not help being the center of attention with his status among baseballs all-time leading home run hitters and for the plays he mishandled at third base. He did his best, however, to share the stage with players who can only hope to have some portion of the success he has already enjoyed in the Major Leagues.

reached the semifinals and Walsh the quarterfinals in singles. Croker finished last season in the number-one singles spot, but Walsh likely will be there in Mondays opener. They are both very smart players who keep opponents back and keep opponents guessing, McKenna said. A strong offseason helped get Walsh ready for her season year. Emily is an extremely smart player, McKenna said. She plays a lot. Shes been playing a lot of USTA matches. That helped her game a great deal. Shes basically a baseline player, but she is successful at the net. She has devel-
oped a good serve and shes fast, too. Both Walsh and Croker were starting singles players on two straight District 2 championship teams. Kendra is very strong, McKenna said. She has very good ground strokes. She has worked very hard not just on her game, but she really worked out a lot, developing herself physically as a tennis player. Valley View went 10-2 for second place in Division 2 and tied for the third-best record of the leagues 16 teams last year The Cougars have some spots to fill in the lineup and coach Jerry Pickard said he wishes he had more than a week of preseason practice to sort through the 35 players who are out for the team. I wont know our best lineup until the fourth or fifth match of the season, Pickard said. But, theyre good athletes, so
well be competitive once we get the rust off of them. Senior Jessica Lochie was the third singles player a year ago and may open the season at number one. Senior Liz Aniska was part of the number-one doubles team last year and junior Gina Chieffallo and senior Abby Bartkowski are back after forming the number-two team. Sophomore Brittany Mecca is a contender for a number-one doubles spot. Junior Carly Young has some experience. Pickard said sophomore Kaitlyn Barno, juniors Amber Jadus and Joelle Kaczuba and seniors Kristin Dougherty, Sloan Casey, Desiree Ubaldini and Victoria Rudivitch are in the running for spots in the lineup. Montrose, Mid Valley and Western Wayne make up the rest of Division 2
where teams play each other twice and also have one match against Division 3 opponents. Riverside went unbeaten in its six matches within the division and won Division 3 with an 8-3 record last year. Everyone in our division had some strong seniors who graduated, Lady Vikes coach Robert Thomas said. Riverside returns five seniors with experience. Liz OHearn and Elizabeth Cannon were the second and third singles players last season when Katie Aniska played doubles. Nina Hurley and Tate Jackson were also part-time doubles players. Elk Lake was second in the division at 5-6 last year, but Dunmore could be ready to become Riversides top challenge. The Lady Bucks tied Holy Cross at the bottom of the standings in 2010.

Penn State quarterbacks Matt McGloin and Rob Bolden pose during Media Day on Tuesday.
PSU QBs agree using rotation system isnt good idea

By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com
TATE COLLEGE Rob Bolden and West Scranton native Matt McGloin can remain civil during this whole thing. They can complement one another and they can use their competition for the starting quarterback job as a way to improve for the season. Neither man, however, is interested in sharing. Its a scenario that hasnt been completely ruled out, but any suggestion of a two-quarterback system was met with little enthusiasm by McGloin or Bolden on Tuesday at the teams annual media day. Both remain confident they can win the starting spot outright before the Sept. 3 opener against Indi-
ana State. Absolutely, Bolden said. I feel like Ive won (the job) already. I mean, Matt, he probably thinks the same thing (about his own chances). Bolden won the job out of camp last year as a true freshman and held the job until being knocked out of a midseason game at Minnesota with a concussion. McGloin took most of the snaps for the rest of the season, starting five of the final six games. The Scrantonian said he thought the whole offense is put at a disadvantage by rotating players under center. To be honest, Im not comfortable with a two-quarterback system, McGloin said. Whether its
me or Rob, I think that having one quarterback makes you more comfortable with the team. It makes the linemen more comfortable, it makes the wideouts more comfortable. The wideouts dont need to be thinking, Well, Matts in hes going to throw it this way. If Robs in, hes going to throw it this way. Its bad news if you have two quarterbacks in and out. Its a comfort feeling. If Im in there the whole game, then Im getting more comfortable with every rep, and Im realizing what the defense is doing. If Im in there every other series, Im not getting comfortable, Im maybe getting tight on the sidelines. I just dont agree with the two-quarterback system. Joe Paterno has echoed those
thoughts in past years. But the Penn State coach said Tuesday that things dont always work out ideally. The team and everyone would prefer to have one guy in the huddle, and in the clutch, you always know what youre going to get from him, Paterno said. But sometimes you get a couple guys that are good enough that either one of them can do it. You sit as a staff and they all feel the same way about each one of them. Ive tried to not make up my mind until I have to. Right now I just dont know which way its gonna go. I think both kids have done a really good job. The kids like them, theyre great in the huddle, theyve gotten better every day.
