Riverside High School senior Gary Lukasiewicz is currently in the biggest fight of his life, and, thanks to his friends, he has the support of the nation. The 18-year-old, who is battling cancer, was moved to hospice for treatment earlier last week. Looking for a way to show him support, his friends began
tweeting messages with the hashtag #keepfightinggary. According to Twitters Lukasiewicz website, the # symbol, called a hashtag, is used to mark keywords or topics in a tweet. The hashtag is used to categorize
tweets and help them show up more easily in a Twitter search. Hashtagged words that become very popular are often trending topics. The brainchild of Riverside High School graduates Mike DranchakandKerryOHop,their goal was to get hashtag popular enough that it became a trending topic. When he was able to look at
his phone, we wanted him to see theamountofsupportheactually had, and we wanted him to know that as long as hes going to fight, were going to fight to get this to trendonTwitter,saidDranchak.

Uniform policy approved

Board votes to close John Audubon
The Scranton School Districts Board of Directors approved the adoption of a uniform policy during its monthly meeting on Monday, May 7 at Scranton High School. Uniform policies are already in place at the elementary and middle schools, the high school had a dress code, but this is the first time Scranton and West Scranton high school students will be required to wear a uniform to school every day. The policy states that all tops must be either plain, meaning no logos, or embroidered and/or monogrammed with either SSD on the left collar, and/or Scranton School District on the left chest. Embroidery will be navy, white or khaki. The policy states that all uniform pieces will be in accordance with the models and styles available on the Scranton School District website, at www.scrsd.org/ssd/, or displayed at the high schools. The policy states that all uniform pieces must be appropriately sized for students. All colors are to be solid, and without patterns or designs. There can be up to four non-uniform day fundraisers during the year. In other news, the board took a moment to congratulate a few students in the district. The board officially congratulated West Scranton High School senior Natalie Wasko and Scranton High School senior Nelson Salcedo for earning the right to compete in the SkillsUSA National Championships in the Kansas City Convention Center and the Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Mo. on June 26. The students earned their spots in nationals by finishing first at the Pennsylvania SkillsUSA Championships on April 20 in Hershey. Wasko placed first in the medical assisting competition, and Salcedo placed first in the telecommunications cabling competition.

witching schools can be hard for any child at any age, but there is a fear that the task may be a little more difficult for a group of elementary school students in the Scranton School District who will be forced to change schools next year. The Scranton School Districts Board of Directors voted 8-1 in favor of closing John Audubon Elementary School during its meeting on Monday, May 7, to the disappointment of many members of the community in attendance. Its a sad night I did work at Audubon as a clerk, and I also attended Audubon School, kindergarten through eighth grade, and my mom and brothers and sisters attended Audubon School. It was a jewel on the hill, said Joanne Williams. Williams was one of several members of the audience at Scranton High School who pleaded with the board to keep the school open prior to the vote. In addition to school pride, many of the parents in attendance were worried about what the closure will do to the development of some of the students. Currently there are 32 autistic

students enrolled in the school. A majority of the students are in the autistic support class, but others have been able to be mainstreamed into classes. My son has come a long way, said Judy Laske, whose son is autistic and has been mainstreamed into a class. Im a nervous wreck, because I dont know whats going to happen to him. This is the first year that hes actually becoming part of the classroom. These kids that are in his classroom, if the TSS worker isnt there, if hes out for the day or if hes sick, theyll step up to
the plate and theyll help him get whatever books out that he needs. The teachers are wonderful, theyve done nothing but wonderful things with my son. Laske went on to say that shes worried that a change in schools will have a negative effect on the progress her son has made. It could be difficult for students who have the most trouble with transitions, said Eric Allen in an emailed interview following the meeting. Allen is the BHRS (Behavioral Health Rehabilitation Services) Coordinator at Devereux Pennsylvania, Pocono Programs and Services, and is not affiliated with the Scranton School District, but said that if the school system works with the autistic support classes they should be able to make the switch a successful one. They should be able to practice relaxation techniques, slow transitional steps prior to and during their acclimation to their new environment, paring the new people and objects with familiar and comfortable things. This should make transitioning much more successful for those students, said Allen.

Scranton City Council
Classification change halted by governor

Council eager to change classification
RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com
NEWS
Tax increase discussed

SCRANTON City officials are eager to change the classification of the city from Class 2A to Third Class but have been held up for months by a lack of response from Gov. Tom Corbett. Scranton remains the states only Class 2A city despite a slow, but steady decline in population below the minimum 80,000 mark required for this classification. The U.S. Census estimated the city had a population of 76,415 in 2000, which dropped to 76,089 in 2010, making it the sixth most-populous city behind Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Allentown, Erie, and Reading. Council sent a letter to Corbett in September asking that he certify the citys last two censuses, a legal requirement for the classification change. After receiving no response, council sent a follow-up letter in March, which also went unanswered. Council hopes to implement the change by the end of the year. Such action would enable our city to begin the process to become a Third Class city, a classification that includes taxing advantages such as a commuter tax. Although other Pennsylvania municipalities have experienced population growth that would entitle them to Class 2A status, they continue to retain a Third Class rating because there appear to be no advantages to joining Class 2A status, Council President Janet Evans explained during coun-
cils May 3 meeting. Council Solicitor Boyd Hughes added that Allentown, Reading, and Erie are examples of such Third Class cities with populations well above 80,000. During councils May10 meeting, Councilman Bob McGoff clarified that the city could implement a commuter tax as a Class 2A city, but different criteria would have to be met in order to do so. While he said he was not necessarily opposed to the change, he felt that it needed further analysis and discussion, pointing out that state legislators such as Sen. John Blake (D-22) have warned that unwanted complications could arise as a result. While council and Mayor Chris Doherty have not often seen eye-to-eye politically over the last two years, both parties agree regarding the change and that a commuter tax would be a fundamental part of the citys Revised Recovery Plan since Scranton taxpayers can no longer shoulder tax burdens alone while those who use city services remain without financial obligation, Evans said at the May 3 meeting. The city last revised its Recovery Plan in 2002 after declaring Act 47 distressed status in 1992. Another revision was required by lending institutions this year in order for Scranton to secure a $11.5 million 2012 Tax Anticipation Note. Since Governor Corbett has failed to respond to councils requests for census certification, I asked for Solicitor Hughes rec-
ommendations as to how we may proceed, Evans said. Hughes recommended that City Clerk Nancy Krake send a letter to the city solicitor asking that the city file a mandamus action against the governor in order to require him to proceed. The city of Reading just adopted a commuter tax and they raised, I believe, it was over $3 million, but we want to get the exact figures. This would be a new form of revenue. It would alleviate the tax on property owners and have a new source of revenue for the city, hopefully in excess of $3 to $4 million, Hughes said. In addition, the city could implement a payroll tax, abolishing the mercantile and business privilege taxes, and the classification change could potentially alter the structure of city government. Hughes said that a city manager may be created while the functions of the mayor and council could change. Evans asked that the citys Act 47 coordinator, the Pennsylvania Economy League, and the Department of Community and Economic Development provide the city with an analysis of the differences in the taxes that are permitted under a Third Class city versus a Class 2A city while sending letters to local state representatives informing them of the citys intention to change classifications, requesting their assistance. Corbett and Blake could not be reached for comment before press time.
SCRANTON Approving a second reading of unfunded debt legislation that will approve up to $26.6 million in borrowing and refinancing during their May 10 meeting, Scranton City Council also approved an introductory reading of a related ordinance that will levy a real estate tax millage increase starting in 2013 for a period of 10 years. The city was approved to borrow the $9.85 million to pay back 2011 debt by the Lackawanna County Court of Common Pleas on Jan. 27, and the legislation approves this borrowing as well as the refinancing of $8.6 million in existing debt for a total of $18.45 million. Up to $26.6 million could be approved depending on interest rates, the pricing on the bonds, and other factors. The future millage increase, which has yet to be decided, will be dedicated to retiring the unfunded debt incurred in 2012. The city treasurer will separate this portion from the real estate taxes received from the Single Tax Office and forward it to a separate account for this purpose, according to the legislation. I have never before approved borrowing, said Council President Janet Evans. Rather, I fought hard for financial accountability and responsibility and government cuts . On Thursday, however, Evans voted in favor of the bor-
rowing, which she felt should be reserved for necessary emergency situations only. Evans said council could not allow the city and its services to collapse, and they must avoid a state takeover or declaring bankruptcy if possible. Evans also noted that the city has yet to formulate a plan to tackle the estimated $36 million settlement with the citys police and fire unions, the result of an Oct. 19, 2011 state Supreme Court ruling and the end of a decade of court battles with the unions that she placed on the shoulders of Mayor Chris Doherty, the Pennsylvania Economy League, and the state Department of Community and Economic Development. In 2011, Doherty asked for a 29 percent real estate tax increase in his proposed 2012 budget, but councils amendments in the finalized budget lowered this increase to 4.8 percent. Additionally, council reduced the proposed real estate transfer tax increase from 2.9 percent to 2.8 percent and the business privilege and mercantile tax increases from 33.3 percent to 16.7 percent in the approved 2012 budget. The Thursday vote for both the borrowing and the millage increase was 3-1, with Councilman Pat Rogan dissenting. Councilman Frank Joyce was absent. While Rogan admitted that the borrowing was necessary, he felt the final costs to taxpayers should be more clearly stated.

Life of Stadium Authority extended

crease its charter by 50 years, Authority Solicitor Frank Tunis explained. The $14.6 million sale of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees Triple-A baseball franchise to SWB Yankees, a joint cooperative venture of the New York Yankees and Mandalay Baseball Properties, was signed by the commissioners on April 26. The renovation and reconstruction of the stadium is currently underway. The agreement with DRL Consulting & Development, 200 Locust Street, Suite 400, Harrisburg, for oversight, review, and management of all construction activities related to the stadium project began on May 9 and will end with the final completion of the state Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program grant for $20 million, including the commonwealth audit. DRL will also administer the Growing Greener II Grant and the Housing and Redevelopment Assistance grant to enable the county to receive the funds for use on the project, according to a May 9 letter to the commissioners by DRL President Daniel R. Lispi. Lispi estimated in the letter that it will take a minimum of 18 months to complete the scope of work. The consultant will receive an initial retainer of $4,000 and the sum of $3,000 a month for a total not to exceed $55,000. Commissioner Corey OBrien said that this was included in the soft costs for the project and will not require new money or county tax dollars, as $200,000 was budgeted for owners representation. What were doing today is hiring someone who has significant finance, RACP, and state financing experience so that together, collaboratively, we have the construction aspect covered and all the state financing aspects covered to ensure that all the funds are invested, spent, drawn down appropri-
Mayor of Taylor Richard Bowen, along with Lackawanna County and the Taylor Borough Council declared Wednesday, May 9 Riverside Viking Freshman Basketball Day during councils monthly meeting. The day of appreciation is in honor of the success the Riverside boys basketball teams, both the freshman and junior high school, had this past season. The freshmen team claimed the 2011-12 Lackawanna League Division II Freshman Championship. The Riverside Vikings basketball teams have always been a source of pride and have maintained an outstanding commitment to excellence, said Bowen. Certificates were presented to each player by Bowen and members of council. In other council business, a resolution was passed that authorizes the board of commissioners of Lackawanna County to submit an application for FFY 2012 CDBG program funds in the amount of $96,884 on behalf of the borough of Taylor. The board approved to extend an agreement with Nextel/ Sprint for one year at a rate of $297.61 a month, for the use of nine cellular phones issued between public workers and police department officials. The board unanimously approved a motion to accept a donation of three 1,000 watt-light fixtures and bulbs at a cost of $890.40, from the Taylor Mens Softball League, to be used at the back field at Derenick Park located at 500 Union St., Taylor. Council will meet again on Wednesday, June 13 at the Taylor Municipal Building, 122 Union Street, Taylor. The meeting is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m.

SCRANTON Lackawanna County Commissioners unanimously adopted an amendment that will increase the existence of the Multi-Purpose Stadium Authority for up to 50 more years and entered into a $55,000 agreement with DRL Consulting & Development, LLC, for consultation services on the renovation of PNC Field in Moosic on May 9. The amendment was adopted as a resolution by the authority on April 26 and approved by the commissioners on Wednesday. Under the Municipal Authorities Act (of 1945), an authority can only exist for a period of 50 years at any one given time. Due to the recent purchase agreement with SWB Yankees, and in light of the fact that our existence is set to expire in 2035, it was necessary for the Stadium Authority to in-
ately, OBrien said. Commissioner Pat OMalley asked if DRL was the lowest bidder; OBrien responded that the authority hired the consultant last year, as recommended by the state. (Lispi) was already on the project with the authority. This just puts him on the county because its the county thats authorized to actually do the dayto-day work, so a contract that was with the authority will now be terminated and the contract will go to the county with a flat rate instead of him just billing hourly, OBrien noted. Its not bringing someone new into the process. Were just moving him over from his previous role with the authority to the county, since we have authority to handle that work. OMalley said he visited the stadium construction site earlier that week and the demolition of the stadium was going well and the project was on track.

Autistic support classes will be setup in John F. Kennedy and Isaac Tripp elementary school for the students, and the district is planning to let parents and students visit the school before the switch to get familiar with the building. Board members listened to all comments, but ultimately voted to close the school. Its always sad to close a school, and its not easy to make tough decisions, and unfortunately our hand is forced. I wish it otherwise, but thats the fact, said Scranton School Board President Bob Lesh. Students were first removed from Audubon in 2010, so the district could take care of a mold issue in the building. The students were kept together, and sent to Saint Marys school in South Scranton with the original plan being to eventually return the children to Audubon. However, while taking care of the mold issue, other problems were found in the building, including problems with the roof and windows. Superintendent William
King said these issues only left the district with a few options. They could either tear the building down and build a brand new building right on site; do a complete comprehensive overall of the building; take care or fix some of the problems; close the school; or acquire a piece of land and build a new school at a different location . I think thats what the board would really like to (do), acquire that land and someday build a new building that would replace Audubon and Prescott but right now theres a moratorium on school construction at the state level, so theres no reimbursement right now, at least for this year, said King. That fact left the board with, seemingly, no other option than to close the school. If we had the money, wed love to build a new Audubon, but were just not in a position to do that, said director Kathleen McGuigan. The children will finish the year at Saint Marys, and then transfer to Prescott, Adams or Whittier elementary schools next year. Bob Sheridan was the one director who voted no to the closure.

Moosic braces for concert campers
NEWS
MOOSIC While Allman Brothers fans may be looking forward to The Peach Music Festival at Montage Mountain in August, Borough Council isnt as enthused about the impending influx of campers. Council voted unanimously to introduce a commercial camping ordinance at their May 8 meeting that will lay out rules, restrictions, exceptions, and penalties for violations for camping in the area in an effort to head off any issues when concert-goers arrive. This is a commercial ordinance. I would like to have this ordinance also affect people that may come in to town and set up a camp anywhere they want. I think thats the part we have to restrict. Commercial means payment of some sort, but I think we will amend this ordinance, Council President Joseph Mercatili explained. Council Secretary Frank Assaf said a copy of the ordinance was not immediately available for review. Council Solicitor John Brazil was absent from the meeting; Mercatili said he would discuss the legislation further with Brazil before the next meeting. The legislation should be effective immediately upon final passage. What Im not too happy about is the fact that these promoters come in here and even though its not in Moosic, were
affected by the overflowI think this council has to protect the people that are living up in that mountain, for one, and all the surrounding areas because Ive seen different concerts that they had that these people just set up camp anywhere. They do anything they want to do, Mercatili commented. If they dont have the money to go up there, theyre going to look for a place around here, possibly down Rocky Glen, possibly in peoples backyards. Another thing is some of the businesses might entertain them, put them in their parking lots (or) something. So thats why we want to pass this ordinance. The three-day festival, scheduled from August 10 to 12, will feature performances from the Allman Brothers Band, the Zac Brown Band, the Warren Haynes Band, the Tedeschi Trucks Band, and O.A.R., among over 20 acts. According to the festivals website, on-site camping passes at the Sn Mountain Ski Resort, 1000 Montage Mountain Rd, are $35, and RV passes are $100. It also suggests additional campgrounds in the area, including Lackawanna State Park in North Abington Twp., Highland Campground in Clarks Summit, and Frances Slocum State Park in Wyoming, but notes that these locations are not located on the festival grounds. Additionally, the website offers travel packages with several area hotels.

Electronic music alive and well

Unfortunately, when people think of electronic music in 2012, they picture a DJ with oversized headphones bobbing his head behind a laptop filled with pre-programmed beats and zero originality. What is more unfortunate is that people actually enjoy this.
This was not always the case, and as genre pioneer Quintron can attest, and it doesnt have to be, at least as long as he, and others like him, keep doing what theyre doing. Quintron, whose seldomused given name is Robert Rolston, started producing his unique brand of noise rock and Swamp-Tech in the early 90s, a danceable but strange psychedelic oddity that includes elements of pop right along with muddy rhythm and blues and rhythmic soul. Its like nothing youve ever heard before, which is probably because his equipment is all hand-made and completely customized. With 13 obscure albums under his own belt, he also plays organ for several other acts, including on the recently Grammy-nominated album Grand Isle by Louisianabased Cajun band Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys, on which he wrote the catchy cut Chatterbox. Hes also apparently not one to take interviews seriously, so not much is known about the guy other than what youll find in a few scattered articles across the internet and in small magazines. It only gets more unusual from here, folks. Based in New Orleans, Quintron can usually be found rocking his own club, the Spellcas-

I was there to support my good friends in Starwood, a Cyber Rock band who claim to be from the future, and if these androids are indeed the future of music, then rest assured, our musical destiny is quite bright. When youve got aliens from the planet Vitrus opening for you, that sets a certain precedent for weirdness that evening, but when Panacea Pussycat, with a pom-pom on her head that matched her brightly colored dress adorned with orange streamers, brought out her puppets for a pre-concert Punch and Judy-style show about a monster and a sheep who fly around in a spaceship looking for a party and end up meeting Dracula, I dont think anyone could argue that the night just got a whole lot stranger. But it was also hilari-
ous and undoubtedly creative, and she was just getting started. Grabbing two maracas shaped like ice-cream cones, she joined Quintron on vocals as he sat behind his own monster and began to play. I must immediately note that no part of his elaborate set-up contained a computer in any modern sense of the term. Surrounded by lit candles, in front of him sat his custombuilt Hammond organ/Fender Rhodes synthesizer combination complete with its own grille, working headlights, and license plate bearing his stage name. On his right spun his famous Drum Buddy to the naked eye, it appears to be a gadget set up for lighting effects, but it was much more than that. His own patented invention, the Drum Buddy is a constantly rotating, five-oscillator, light-activated analog synthesizer that can be manipulated by hand, like scratching a record, while producing low-fi

The children who need help live in remote areas of rural India, committee member Nirmala Nirmul of Mountain Top said, where the non-profit Ekal Vidyalaya seeks to establish classrooms that can be supported through sponsors who donate $365 per year.
What we are really looking for is sponsorship of a school, Nirmul said. The classrooms are held in whatever accommodations are available, whether its in a building, a makeshift shelter or under a tree. Instructors, who are trained through the Ekal Vidyalaya organization, teach basic reading and writing skills along with health and hygiene, working toward empowering the people of a village and improving their economy. The organizations website quotes Swami Vivekananda who said If a poor child cannot come to education, education must go to him and cites a goal of helping 100,000 villages by 2015. Since its founding in 2000-01 in New Delhi, the foundation has reached more than one million students in 36,783 schools. To raise awareness of its work, the Ekal Vidyalaya this year has arranged a concert titled Bollywood Milestones 1961-2011.

he subject of suicide will take the stage when The Actors Circle of Scranton closes its 30th season with the Pulitzer Prize-winning play Night, Mother. Director John McInerney, Clarks Summit, explained that the play is highly dramatic and highly theatrical. (The play) deals with a sensitive subject that affects many, he
said. At the same time, its touching and funny. Its a theatrical play, but also an emotional play. The play explores a tense relationship between a mother and daughter following the daughters revelation that she will commit suicide. Cast as the mother and daughter are Janet Loewe of Clarks

Summit and Darla Germeroth. McInerney said that the two women are gifted, local actresses who will be delivering fine performances. These are veterans who are professional and nice to work with, he said. McInerney became familiar with the play during his 42-year tenure teaching at The University of Scranton. He taught the play as part of his Drama as Literature course and had always enjoyed it. He also said he saw the play performed on Broadway, as well as a film version. The play was chosen for The Actors Circle as a way to challenge the audience. The subject matter makes the play more challenging for the audience, McInerney said. There are very few people who havent been affected by suicide. The play illuminates in a psychologically- helping way the people who are affected by it. For McInerney, this is his third time serving as director with The Actors Circle. He previously directed the play Inspector Calls, as well as his own, original work, Secrets, which won the 2000 Northeastern Pennsylvania Theatre Alliance prize for Best Original Play. Outside of his directing efforts, McInerney has been involved with the group for more than 30 years as an actor, producer and member of the board of directors. He also acted in several productions during his time teaching at the University of Scranton. Night, Mother will run at the Providence Playhouse in Scranton May 18 to 20, Friday and Saturday night performances will begin at 8 p.m. and Sundays performance at 2 p.m. Tickets are $12 for general admission, $10 for seniors, and $8 for students.

rhythms. His feet were preoccupied with a wah-wah pedal and a simple hi-hat cymbal, and during some parts, he even dangled some sort of device out of his mouth attached by a wire like a theremin player would use, but played like a harmonica. After only two or three songs, his shirt was off and the man poured sweat, both literally and figuratively. When I pay to see a show, I pay to see just that a show, a live performance of the music, and Quintron understands that mentality completely. Even when sitting down, the man was just as much a machine as the instruments in front of him, simultaneously playing notes, turning dials, manipulating electronic waves, and singing a style of music that required a self-coined term like Swamp-Tech to describe it. He truly is a one-man band, though Miss Pussycat added a fun, cheerleader-like element to the performance, engaging the crowd and joining the audience as people gradually got into the groove of the evening. About half-way though, the nodding heads turned into dancing feet both young and old picked up what he was putting down, so keeping with that vibe, Quintron stuck to upbeat, funky tunes that made the hour-or-so set fly by, staying in the zone for a good portion of that time but occasionally commenting to the

dedicated fans up front. If hippies were to make the leap into the digital age, thats probably what we all looked like, but appearances werent exactly the focus here. Speaking of which, it seems that is what most music is about nowadays style over substance, shocking for the sake of publicity or slick for the sake of defining cool. Despite being around for almost 20 years, this is likely the first time youve read about Quintron; theres a good reason for that, and it has nothing to do with lack of talent. There is nothing fake or calculated about he does all in all, him and his wife seem like theyre just genuinely odd. Nice and totally appreciative, but odd, and I dont say that in a bad or mean-spirited way at all. Originality is probably a better word for it, as what they do comes from years of innovation, not a record executive or a demograph-
ics study. Theyre scratching a creative itch rather than trying to offend parents or start fashion trends, and while that doesnt often turn into fame or fortune, the payoff seemed
written on their smiling faces. When I see these self-important disc jockeys with their pop culture-referencing monikers sampling everything but their own work and record companies producing bassheavy singles with meaningless sexual lyrics, I fear for the future of electronic music, but just like in the rock business, its important to keep in mind that there will always be acts out there playing from the heart you just have to leave the club for the hole-in-thewall bar across the street to find it most of the time. And sometimes youre even treated to an old-fashioned puppet show beforehand. Who says you need modern technology to be cool? Its certainly not needed to be genuinely entertaining.

Creating art will become a competitive event this weekend at the Scranton Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber will host a live art event for Leadership Lackawannas StorefrontART, or StArt!, on Friday, May 18. Seven local artists have been invited to compete in this timed event, where each will have two hours to create a piece of art designed around a theme given to them by the StArt! team . Each artist will receive two boxes, one with theme items and one with general art supplies. There will also be a table in the center of the room filled with supplies that the artists will be allowed to grab items from. Were modeling it off of reality television contest shows like Iron Chef where they each get their boxes of something they have to use, but then they could run over to the giant table where they can get bigger things, said StArt! team member Theresa OConnor. There might be a couple of drills that people will be fighting over, so a little bit of competition will ensue with that. We wanted to make it interesting for the people who are coming to the event, added StArt! team member Elizabeth Bohan. Its not going to be just standing there watching someone with a paint brush for two hours.
All of the artists will be allowed to bring two aids to assist them with grabbing materials. Once completed, the work will be judged by judges Colleen Carter, Michael Gilmartin and Michael Straub. Three winners will be chosen, and their work will be on display in an empty storefront in downtown Scranton during Junes First Friday Scranton Art Walk, on Friday, June 1. Theyll have two full weeks from the date of the (May) event until Junes First Friday to continue filling the window. Theyre going to have two hours to make a piece, but then theyre going to have the next two weeks to fill it up, so its not going to be just one painting in the middle of an empty storefront, said Bohan. StArt! is one of four projects chosen for Leadership Lackawannas Class of 2012 to work on this year. OConnor and Bohan are both members of Leadership Lackawanna, a 10-month leadership development program for Northeastern Pennsylvanias emerging professionals, and their group began working on
StArt! in September. The goal of the event is to foster the development of downtown Scranton through the promotion of local artists and the inspiration of new business opportunities in collaboration with First Friday Scranton. The hope is that the art on display will bring attention to the property, and possibly lead to someone moving a business into one of the locations. OConnor and Bohans group will graduate from Leadership Lackawanna in June, and after that First Friday Scranton will have the option of making StArt! a yearly event . Artists competing in the event on May 18 are John Bert, Ryan Hnat, Amy Kiser, Sean Langan, Heidi Van Leuven, Shannon Rowlands and Brianna Wells. In addition to the art competition, the event will also feature music provided by Chelsea Collins, Tom OConnor and Dan Rosler, and a basket raffle. Jeannine Luby will be the events emcee. Anyone wishing to donate a basket to the basket raffle can contact Kristen Driesbaugh at 342.7711. Those attending Junes First Friday Art Walk will have a chance to vote on their favorite piece, and the winner will be announced at an after party at the Vintage Theater at 9 p.m. Admission to the after party is $5.

HIGH SCHOOL TRACK NOTEBOOK
NEWS
SCRANTON Rico Galassi and Devan Kerecman led the way Wednesday, May 9 when Holy Cross won one Class AA championship and shared the other in the Robert Spagna Lackawanna Track Conference Championships at Memorial Stadium. On a night when more than one-third of the existing records fell, Galassi was one of two athletes to set a pair of meet records.
Lakeland freshman Cassidy Jenkins was the other to help the Lady Chiefs share the girls championship with the Lady Crusaders. Kerecman set a record while winning the pole vault, finished second in the long jump and third in the 100-meter hurdles for Holy Cross, which won the championship outright a year ago. Galassi breezed through the potentially grueling process of setting records in the two longest races the 1600 and 3200 to lead Holy Cross to its first boys championship. Scranton Prep used its relay and distance strength to dominate the Class AAA boys field.
Western Wayne won the Class AAA girls championship. Galassi won both races by more than 12 seconds, taking the 1600 in 4:19.19 and the 3200 in 9:39.28. While continuing to show he is one of the best small-school distance runners in the state, Galassi made it clear he could handle running both races in a high-level meet. For districts, I plan on running the (3200) and (1600), he said. If I qualify for states, Ill just run the mile. Galassi took three seconds off his school record in the 1600 then went well below the plan of running the 3200 in about 10 minutes
flat with the District 2 meet coming up in less than a week. Kerecman had been stuck at 11 feet as her personal best in the pole vault. She cleared that height on her first attempt and kept going, setting a new career-best of 11-4, then making 11-7 for the meet record. I didnt feel my very best at first, Kerecman said, but then on my last jumps at 11-4 and 11-7, I was really feeling the adrenaline. Kerecman was second to teammate Kira Graziano in the long jump. Jenkins ran the 100 hurdles in

A stadium full of memories

NEWS
sports. A sellout crowd of more than 10,000 welcomed Triple-A baseball to northeastern Pennsylvania with the debut of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons. Before long, however, it was clear this new stadium was special for other reasons as well. Living up to is formal name of Lackawanna County MultiPurpose Stadium, the artificial turf facility in Moosic soon became a destination for local athletes in some of the biggest moments of their playing careers. The Dream Game, annually one of the countys most anticipated events, found its temporary home there before Scranton Memorial Stadium was refurbished into the areas premier football facility. The stadium even hosted a state championship football Lackawanna County Stadium opened in late April of 1989, touching off a special era in local

game, along with several district games while serving as the home field for Scranton Prep and a temporary home for Riverside. Lackawanna College made the stadium home for football and local colleges often used the facility for day baseball games. That was not all. District 2 baseball, soccer and field hockey championship games took advantage of the facility along with baseball all-star games and tournaments, marching band competitions, concerts and 3v3 soccer and basketball tournaments. Artificial turf was a big reason the stadium was so readily available for so many different organizations. The stadium eventually was renamed PNC Field, the name it will still carry when it opens next spring following the reconstruction that has begun on
Montage Mountain. Quite often the change of a stadium name is nothing more than a sponsorship being sold as yet another way to make money and a means for a business to attach its name to a popular local destination. The transition from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons, a Philadelphia Phillies affiliate playing at Lackawanna County Multi-Purpose Stadium to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees, the New York Yankees top farm team playing at PNC Field, however, was more than just a name change. The playing surface was switched to grass and Lackawanna Countys management role over the facility was reduced with the inclusion of Mandalay Baseball Properties managing what was then a publicly owned baseball franchise. Drainage problems after the switch to grass made it impossible to play even Yankees games at the stadium at one time, leading to field repairs before the stadium overhaul
was even seriously discussed. Those problems should be gone, but a grass surface legitimately makes additional events in baseball season something that has to be approached more cautiously. Playing other baseball games at the facility on off days is one thing while switching to different field set-ups for other events may be a bit more challenging. During a public hearing about the recent sale of the baseball franchise to SWB Yankees LLC, a joint venture of the New York Yankees and Mandalay, Moosic attorney Gene Hickey stuck up for all those who wish to keep the community role of the stadium that was originally intended. Hickey asked Lackawanna County commissioners and Multi-Purpose Stadium Authority members repeated questions about what assurances were made that others would be able to use the facility. After all, the Yankees are the prime tenant and must be accommodated, but there is no reason for them to be the only ones using the stadium.
The team has been sold to SWB Yankees LLC. The stadium remains a publicly owned facility which the Yankees will help pay to maintain. As they monitor the longterm operations of SWB Yankees LLC, the commissioners and stadium authority should pay particularly close attention to stadium access. The Yankees have some reasonable rights to limit in-season stadium use to baseball and minimally intrusive events while the stadium should be much more accessible for other organizations outside of baseball season. Going back to the stadiums roots, local schools and other organizations using the facility should be charged legitimate costs for use of the public facility, but only that. The charges and other obstacles for stadium use need to be kept reasonable to return the new PNC Field to the role of a truly public facility for use by local residents, not just a home for the Yankees top minor-league players as they pass through the system.

Still making an impact

Money raised from golf tournament will provide scholarships for students
By RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com
NEWS
It has been almost a year since the passing of Richard Notari, but memories of his lifelong dedication to students, family, and sports remain fresh in the minds of the Old Forge community. A graduate of Old Forge High School, Notari would return years later as a teacher of secondary mathematics at the school for 30 years and served as the Mathematics Department Chairman. In addition, he became the schools golf coach, athletic director, and coached football, basketball, bowling, and baseball, among other advisory positions, and also served as an officer of the Lackawanna Scholastic Golf League. Dad was a guy who was focused squarely on educating the youth of Old Forge, whether it was as a teacher or as a coach. He coached, in some way, shape, or form, every sport but maybe girls basketball. He was the head golf coach for 20 years. He was the (athletic director) for probably 10 years. He was just a guy who was dedicated to his family and to the youth of Old Forge, his son, Richard Notari, Jr., recalled. Retiring in 2004, he just couldnt stay away from what he proudly loved. Even though he was still retired from the school, the school was part of him. It was part of his family. I always said that the school was his second home, was his second family. The way we were brought up, it was our family there was no separation between our household and the school. It was our family. It still is our family. Thats the way dad wanted it, he continued. I think it was a way for him to keep active within the school community. It was a way for him to give back besides being a teacher in the classroom, to be able to teach kids about life outside the classroom as well, as most coaches doHe and my mom were just figures at sporting events. They never really missed any event, any varsity event. They would get to basketball, baseball, softball, football no matter where the games were, they were there supporting the kids. This led his family to create the inaugural Big Blue Devil Golf Classic, scheduled for May 20 at the Blue Ridge Trail Golf Club in Mountain Top. Money raised from the tournament will provide four scholarships to Old Forge High School students, two boys and two girls. One is a math scholarship, while the other is a leadership scholarship, reflecting two sides of

Penn State tour comes to Dickson City

DEREK LEVARSE For Go Lackawanna
Local MMA fighter will headline Pa Cage Fight 12
DICKSON CITY A swarm of autograph-seekers still waiting in line in front of him, Bill OBrien didnt flinch when another blueand-white football was thrust in front of him. It took him a second or two to process who had handed it to him. Hey, can you sign this? came the request from Matt McGloin. After a shared laugh, the Penn State coach was quickly introduced to the quarterbacks family. And theres more coming, McGloin joked. Of all of the stops on Penn States coaches caravan tour, this was the biggest. More than 900 people stuffed into the main ballroom at Genetti Manor in Dickson City, more than double the crowd of any of the previous 11 cities he visited these past weeks. Who would not be inspired by this crowd? OBrien said to the audience. Ive got chills going up my spine. West Scranton graduate McGloin and fellow District 2 products Eugene Lewis, Nyeem Wartman and J.R. Refice were among the crowd there to come out to listen to OBrien and fellow Penn State coaches Russ Rose and Greg Nye. Just here to show support for Coach OBrien, McGloin said. My familys here. Were all here just to support our coach. We have to give back to our fans and get behind this new system. Oh, and maybe put in a good word for that starting job. Somebody out there kept saying to me this would be a great night to announce your starting quarterback, OBrien said to laughter from the crowd. Easy there, Matt. Though OBrien isnt tipping his hand, McGloin looks to have an edge at reclaiming the starting job heading into preseason camp. OBrien was sure to play up McGloins strengths as a hard worker and a leader to his hometown crowd on Thursday, May 10.
THE MAIN EVENT

IF YOU GO
ames Cianci is excited about reaching main event status for the first time in his Mixed Martial Arts career. Headlining Saturday nights Pa Cage Fight 12 at Genetti Manor in Dickson City, however, is more important in terms of what it could do for Ciancis future in the sport. I havent really thought too much about being a main event, the 26year-old from Clarks Summit said. It is exciting to know that Im headlining a fight; that Ive gotten to that point. But in terms of preparation and everything like that, I havent noticed a difference.
WHAT: Pa Cage Fight 12 WHEN: Saturday, May 19, 7 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. WHERE: Genetti Manor, Dickson City Cost: $70, $50 and $35 INFO: www.pacagefight.com.
SPORTS
Cianci will take on Joel Roberts for the PA Cage Fight 135-pound championship. The fight will be the first of the year for Cianci, who suffered his first defeat by decision to unbeaten Jordan Parsons in December in Florida. Cianci is 3-1 with three stoppages as a professional after winning all three of his bouts as an amateur. He appeared and won on five of the first seven PA Cage Fight cards promoted by Northeast MMA. Roberts has won four straight bouts by first- or second-round submission to improve to 7-3 as a professional after going 4-1 in his amateur career. He fights for the Rat Pack from Palmerton. The four-bout winning streak includes victories in Cage Fights 7 and 8 last year and a victory over Brylan Vanartsdalen in Bellator Fighting Championship 49. Roberts holds the PA Cage Fight championship belt from his wins over Scott
Heckman and Bret Thomas last year in Scranton. Promoter Jonathan Kernis said Roberts earlier Bellator win means the winner of Saturdays bout has a chance to land appearances on the Bellator series. Being in a main event goes a long way in saying where Ive come in terms of my success and the excitement my fights in the past have produced, Cianci said. I do think it makes me more marketable, especially down the road when Im trying to make some moves and get into a bigger organization. Cianci works part-time as a bartender to keep a steady income, but said his primary focus is on developing his MMA career. Im in the gym six days a week; usually Im trying to get a practice session in two times a day, he said. Its not as many hours as a full-time job, but its as many as my body can physically take. Cianci has some guidance in his pursuit. His training is done regularly at Northeastern Ju-Jitsu in Swoyersville where he works out with Jimy Hettes, who rose from the early Cage Fights to a10-0 professional record that includes two victories in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) series. Were a group of guys who are all good and determined, Cianci said. We all feed off each other. Jimys definitely the ring leader. Hes the one who runs the practices and helps us out with our technique. Cianci followed another of Hettes approaches in getting additional help from
Sean Diggs of World Class Boxing in Wilkes-Barre. My boxings been developing basically every day since I became a professional fighter, Cianci said. After seeing what Sean did with Jimys stand-up, I figured he was the best guy in the area to work with for my striking. Cianci and his team are part of a strong presence of Lackawanna and Luzerne County fighters on the local card. The other two professional fights have Adam Penberthy and Mike Bannon in action. The Milford fighters are familiar locally from previous appearances. Penberthy also wrestled at Kings College. Penberthy, who won three times as an amateur on Northeast-MMA sponsored cards, is 1-0 as a pro going into his bout against Julian Lane, an Ohio fighter who is 4-0 with a Bellator win to his credit. Bannon also has three prior PA Cage Fight wins, including one as a professional. He puts his 2-0 record on the line against veteran Jay Haas (10-9). The amateur card includes a debut by West Scranton teacher Brad Turi, a former wrestler at the school. Sean Olivieri and Brandon Dolan, a former Pittston Area wrestler, will represent Balance Combat of Old Forge. Scrantons Paul McDonough is scheduled to go against Kristopher Gratalo, who is from Pittston, but fighting for Team Vicious from Williamsport. Jiovanni Donvito, from Simrell MMA, and Maiguel Machado, from Tattoo Brazillian Ju-Jitsu, are other Scranton fighters. Derek Smith from Olyphant will represent Northeast Karate. Ely Rojas, Keman Jackson, Luis Payano and Jeremiah Wells are part of the Hard Core team from Hazleton. Michael Zola, also from Hazleton, fights out of World Class Boxing. John Ortiz-Rivera is from Team Independent in Freeland.

Rufo made the second team for the third straight time. Marywoods Greg Nester was a first-team CSAC mens lacrosse all-star. The junior midfielder had 13 goals and 10 assists in 15 games. Nick Johnson and Sam Trill were second-team picks while Nicholas Cornella, John Pelligrini, Ryan Nowell and Marcus Janda received honorable mention. Ryan Jones and Diana DAchille were named male and female Athletes of the Year at Marywood year-end athletic banquet. Jones was CSAC co-Player of the Year in mens soccer for his defensive play. DAchille finished second overall in the CSAC womens cross country championships and was the teams leading scorer and a firstteam, all-star in womens lacrosse. Graduating seniors and Most Valuable Players were recognized from each team. The MVPs included Riverside graduate Paul Kania in golf, Abington Heights graduate Nicholas Pasqualichio in baseball and Abington Heights graduate Katie Paterson, who was one of the co-recipients in womens swimming and diving. Scranton High graduate Tyler Buckley is one of Lackawannas three first-team NJCAA Region XIX Division II baseball all-stars. Chris Kirsch and Lavance Anderson are the other first-team selections. Kirsch was named Region Player of the Year, beating out Buckley for the honor. Anderson and Kanuik were also among the 10 region players nominated for All-American consideration. -Compiled by Tom Robinson

IMPACT
Notaris beloved personality. Additionally, two scholarships will be offered this year to Riverside High School seniors for their help in raising money to fight cancer in an earlier fundraiser. I think the scholarship is going to continue his legacy the way he lived his life, in terms of giving back to the school district. It was a job, it was employment, but it was more than that. They say you live your best life when you could enjoy what you do earning a living. There was no doubt my father did that. Many people still say that he would have taught for free, and I really think that, Notari, Jr. explained. What he always said was he wasnt a teacher he was an educator, and thats what he did for the better part of his life. I think the scholarship is going to allow that to continue to happen. Hes going to continue to give back and continue to be able to educate the youth of Old Forge. The response from the community has been overwhelming, with the tournament reaching its goal of 50 teams weeks before the event . People throughout the valley, former golf coaches, former colleagues, athletic directors, have come to play. People he met along the way coaching and teaching, are going to come back and play, he said. People who were former students that live out of state are coming just to remember dad, and thats pretty spe-

ARTS SPORTS
cialWe knew we would get 36 to 40 teams, but to get 50 is just a credit to the way my dad lived his life, the impact that he made on people in this area. Scholarship sponsorships are available for $250, hole sponsorships are $100, and patron sponsorships are $50. Notari, Jr. estimated that they already have $10,000 in sponsorships, but are always looking for more. An account will be established to continue the fund for years to come. It makes me feel proud. Its good to know that dad is remembered in such a great way, and its humbling too, Notari, Jr. said. He was more than just a dad to other people. I think the fact that hes remembered so well speaks volumes of how he taught and how he educated kids and the way he interacted with people in our area that they would think so highly of him to come down and help us remember him. Donations to the Richard P. Notari Sr. Scholarship Fund can be mailed to 13 Lincoln St., Old Forge, PA 18518. Checks can be made payable to the Richard P. Notari Sr. Scholarship Fund.

TRACK
15.46 to lead a 1-2 Lakeland finish along with Tori Doyle, who won the high jump. She won the 300 hurdles by almost two seconds in 45.45. Her record in the 100 hurdles came with a 15.01 during qualifying in the first event of the day. I was so nervous going in, said Jenkins, who ran personal bests in both events. I didnt know what to expect. North Pocono athletes set three meet records. Freshman Kaitlyn Lewis was one of three girls to go below the previous record in the 800, winning the highly competitive race in 2:18.80, just edging 1600-meter champion Summer Hill of Honesdale. Jenn Slagus set the girls discus and Devon Strubert the boys high jump mark. Valley Views Robert Castellani, Garrett Rupe, Nyeem Wartman and Tyler Phillips set a record in the 400 relay. Scranton Prep won the other two relays with Norm Frederick running the 3200 anchor and contributing to the win in the closing 1600. For the first time, the meet separated scoring by Class AAA and Class AA rather than just scoring the top eight overall in each event. The Cavaliers finished 1-2-3 among Class AAA runners in both the 800 and 1600 to rack up a total of 48 points on their way to a 43-point win. Mike Brier and Kyle Perry were 1-2 among AAA runners in both races and were second and third overall behind Galassi in the 3200. Corey Loman was third of AAA runners in the 3200 and Paul LaBelle was third in AAA in the 1600. Valley View (AAA) and Dunmore (AA) each finished second in boys team standings. The top five boys teams were all from Lackawanna County. Holy Cross and Dunmore were followed by Lakeland, Mid Valley and Riverside. Dave Sweetman led the way for Riverside. Sweetman split in his head-tohead battles with Maliek Torres of Honesdale, winning the 100 and finishing second in the 200. I knew from his times throughout the year that Torres

Rico Galassi helped lead Holy Cross to its first boys championship.
would be one of the best coming in, Sweetman said. I definitely would rather win the 100 over the 200. The 100 is all about speed. Sweetman was part of half of Riversides points as he was first among AA runners in the 200 and he was on the 400 relay team that was first among AA schools and third overall. With District 2, and possibly state, competition ahead, Sweetman said it is too late in the season to be getting faster. At this point, he is working on perfecting his starts, trying to get out of the blocks the best he can to remain a contender on
the higher levels. CROSS INVITATIONAL The Spagna title was the second team championship in less than a week for the Scranton Prep boys, who also won the James Cross Invitational in Wilkes-Barre May 5. Perry won the 1600 while Brier won the 3200. Armon Loring of Scranton won the triple jump. DISTRICT 2 The District 2 Championships are scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, May 13 and 14 at Memorial Stadium.
All three Valley View relay teams are seeded first in Class AAA boys. Devon Strubert of North Pocono is seeded first in both the high jump and long jump. Riversides Sweetman is seeded first in both the 100 and 200 for Class AA boys. Lakelands Jenkins (both hurdles) and Sarah Larkin (100 and 200) are seeded first in two events each in Class AA girls. Class AAA is set for Monday. Class AA is Tuesday. Both meets begin at 3 p.m. Rain dates are Wednesday and Thursday.
