fter what he called a successful adventure in law enforcement, Scranton Police Chief Dan Duffy confirmed Friday, July 6, that hes leaving the roll call room for the classroom.
Twenty-two months after being sworn into office as the citys top cop, Duffy will become the director of the Lackawanna College Police Academy. His final day with the city is July 20, and his work with the college begins July 23. Duffy, 37, a West Scranton High School graduate, Lackawanna College graduate, and recent Keystone College graduate, worked during his time as chief to build a public-
private partnership between the department and residents dubbed the Be Part of the Solution campaign. He also opened the doors of police headquarters to the general public for the first time in several years with the reintroduction of the Citizen Police Academy and built satellite police offices throughout Scranton. The chief previously worked as a member of the colleges security
staff and as an instructor at the academy. His brother-in-law, Scranton Det. James Pappas, once told him, I think you found your second calling in the classroom, Duffy recalled Friday. It was Pappas who informed him of the departure of previous academy director Will Oliphant. When this position opened

RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com
CRANTON We love you, Joe! a member of the crowd gathered at Lackawanna County Courthouse Square shouted. This feeling of adulation for Vice President Joe Biden seemed overwhelming prevalent throughout those who attended the Scrantastic Spectacular on July 3, including former Scranton Mayor Jim Connors, who arrived early at the event.
When the vice president not only comes into our town but comes back home, its a great occasion and its nice to welcome him and wish him well, Connors said. Hell be here many more times before the election and hell be here after the election, whether he wins or he loses. Anybody that thinks that hes
not tied to this area is too cynical because hes come back home many times before he had the super fame that he has now, he added, noting that Biden visits his local friends Tom Bell and Jim Kennedy often. The focus of Bidens brief speech on Tuesday evening was entirely on his ties to the Electric City, sentiments which Con-
nors emphasized were very real. (Biden) wouldnt have been picked for vice president if he wasnt popular with the people. He hasnt lived here for 50 years and he still has a love for the area, and the people still have a love for him. That says a lot, Connors continued.

hile a stalemate between City Council and the administration over the citys Revised Recovery Plan continues, council discussed the citys cash flow crisis at length and responded to accusations from city officials that it is councils budget that has put them in this mess during their July 5 meeting.
Mayor Chris Doherty has consistently blamed councils 2012 budget for the citys lack of funds, which resulted in his decision to pay all city employees minimum wage starting July 6 until the citys financial issues are resolved. The budget, he contends, relies heavily on $9,850,000 in unfunded borrowing from M&T Bank, but the bank has insisted on the passage of a Revised Recovery Plan, an update of the citys 2002 revision, in order to assure it will be paid back a plan that council refuses to approve because of its 78 percent total tax increase over the next three years. Council also says that many of their negotiated suggestions for the plan were not included in their entirety. Council President Janet Evans provided documentation on Thursday that shows the administrations support for unfunded borrowing dating back to September 2011, when such legislation was first submitted to council. The budget, she said, was constructed jointly with the administration, though she placed responsibility solely on the mayor for his decision to cut wages rather than negotiate with the citys unions, who were granted a preliminary injunction the following day by Lackawanna County Judge Michael Barrasse to prevent the
pay cuts. Despite this, union members were still paid $7.25 per hour on Friday afternoon, according to International Association of Fire Fighters Local 60 President John Judge IV. I dont believe that any leader should merely bark orders unilaterally, particularly illegal orders. He had a responsibility to sit down with the union heads and discuss his ideas with them, and he didnt and were in court yet again, Evans said. Councilman Pat Rogan made a motion to withhold councils pay until the current crisis is resolved, but was outvoted 3-2, with Councilman Bob McGoff joining him in favor of the motion. Councilman Jack Loscombe said that because his pension is being withheld while he serves on council, his only source of income is his paycheck from the city. Im only surviving right now on my City Council pay. Yes, I am willing to give it up, but I will be applying for food stamps, Loscombe said. Rogan, who also works for U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, said he would not cash his checks until the crisis was resolved, while all council members, the city clerk, council solicitor, and secretaries will continue to make $7.25, though Evans said that councils $12,500 annual salaries are already less than minimum wage. I have many differences of opinion with Mayor Doherty on how this city should be run, but I still believe at the end of the day that all five members of council and the mayor need to sit down and talk, whether (its) all five of us at onceor one-on-one, Rogan said. A 78 percent tax increase is never going to pass. Loscombe said that private meetings with the mayor have turned into your word against his situations and he would prefer they all meet together in public. He made a motion, accepted unanimously, to include an audit
of the mayors time in office in the Recovery Plan to settle the question of why the city is in the hole and who is truly at fault. Council Vice President Frank Joyce said he received a spreadsheet from Business Administrator Ryan McGowan that projects figures for councils Recovery Plan suggestions, finding that there will be a deficit of $12.5 million over three years, which he plans to look in to and respond to by next week. Joyce said that one of the mayor and the Pennsylvania Economy Leagues suggestions in the plan, the sale of the storm water conveyance system to the Scranton Sewer Authority, cannot be included because the city does not actually own it, leaving a $5.4 million hole in the plan as it stands. Additionally, council will not support the sale or lease of the citys parking meters to the Scranton Parking Authority, leaving another hole. How valid now is the mayors Recovery Plan because they were both in there? Joyce questioned. (The administration) must propose another way in which to fill the hole in its Recovery Plan, Evans added. Before (Doherty) asks a visiting judge to order his Recovery Plan and a 78 percent tax increase, he should have to enforce all other avenues of revenue generation, she continued, referring to Dohertys lawsuit against council, filed June 21, that hopes to force council into passing a Revised Recovery Plan. Evans said that the parking tax and rental registration program, both implemented by council earlier this year to generate revenue, have yet to be enforced by the administration, and payments in lieu of taxes must still be solicited from non-profits. McGoff said that at least the conversation about the cash flow crisis between the administraSee COUNCIL, Page 7

strong, he said. The chief, who joined the department in 1998 as a patrol officer in the Community Development program, became known locally for his off-duty arrests. Those incidents, which ranged from breaking up fights in parking lots to chasing wanted men on foot, raised the concerns of the police union. In April 2011, the E.B. Jermyn Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 2 filed an unfair labor complaint that centered on Duffy completing work normally assigned to members of the police bargaining unit. Im a policeman. I dont know what else to do, Duffy said about the complaint at the time. The complaint further bolstered support for the popular chief, including bumper stickers sporting the slogan I Love Chief Duffy. The department experienced other personnel issues, as well. Officer Mark Miller was charged after an alleged fight outside of a North Scranton bar in June 2011. The Pennsylvania State Police conducted an investigation into another officer who was not identified by police or the Lackawanna County District Attorneys Office earlier this year that did not result in any criminal charges. In March 2011, a federal lawsuit claiming false imprisonment and emotional distress was filed against then-Sgt. Duffy and several other officers over a March 2010 incident. That suit is pending settlement, according to the latest court filings available.

which was just last week I looked at it as an opportunity, Duffy said. My goal is to make a significant impact on law enforcement. The future leaders in law enforcement will walk through those doors, and thats a huge responsibility. Its one that college officials feel hes well-equipped to handle. Dan focused hard on leadership and that connection with the publicTheres no better place to begin fostering those ideas than in the police academy, said Lackawanna College President Col. Mark Volk Its not a loss for the city, its a gain. Hes got the chance to train the next generation of police officers and instill that same level of leadership and understanding of community commitment that he instilled in the police force here in Scranton. Volk said Oliphant informed officials only recently that his last day as director would be July 23. Duffy admitted that the timing of his departure is unfortunate as the city struggles to pay its bills. Absolutely not. I say it with all sincerity that this has nothing to do with the citys financial struggle, Duffy clarified when asked why he was leaving. If I were to do that, thats abandoning my post.

mum wage of $7.25 per hour beginning July 6 in lieu of the citys financial struggles. Doherty called Duffys departure bittersweet but added that it was a recognition of the type of people we have working in our administration. West Scranton Hyde Park Neighborhood Watch President Karin Foster echoed Dohertys sentiments calling the moment bittersweet. Hes such an incredible man, in his character, in his leadership qualities that on some level I think that everyone knew that at some point bigger opportunities would come for him and I think its a great thing for him, said Foster. Foster began working with Duffy upon his arrival, and she
credits him with bridging the gap between the community and the Police Department, and helping the Neighborhood Watch forge relationships with the different branches of government, something that has helped them in terms of addressing issues that needed to be taken care of. He is a phenomenal leader and has transformed the way the public (views) the Police Department in a more positive way, and that will continue. Captain (Carl) Graziano will be taking his charge and I have no doubt that things will be just as proactive as they were, said Foster. Police Capt. Carl Graziano will assume the role of chief for the foreseeable future.
Hes outstanding, and he has the respect of all of the outside agencies, the mayor said of the 20-year veteran. Because of the financial conditions, its also an opportunity for us to do more with less. Graziano said he was surprised by the announcement. He is one of the biggest selfmotivators I have ever met. Anything he sets his mind to he accomplishes, he said of Duffy. Lackawanna College is getting a valuable asset to their community. Graziano wants to give the officers the tools and support to continue doing their job and to continue the partnership between the community and the police department. Those ties have to remain

Your kind and giving heart has made the world a better place. You are the son every parent prays for, the friend everyone needs, the example everyone points to. You are trusting to a fault, always seeing the good in people. Your smile is the sunshine, your imagination the clouds, your passion the lightning and the rain your tears. Like a dragony dancing on the wind, you have morphed from a loving child to a caring teen. Your spirit soars with the eagles, never to be denied. While some will measure their lives in hours, days, months and years, your life is measured by the hearts you touch and the smiles you shared. We love you now and forever.

tion and council has not shifted to numbers and the plausibility of the Recovery Plan. Im not trying to blame anybody, but right now were looking at an unfunded debt and some others things that just arent being realized, and we need to do something to hopefully fill this void so that we can pay our bills, so that we can pay our employees. It just seems that weve been relying on the banking community to somehow resolve the issue for us, McGoff commented. It seems as though were finally at the point where were talking numbers for the Recovery Plan. I think thats a step forward and I
think in the past we were trying to look at placing blame, but now at least were getting down to the issue of, What numbers can we include in the Recovery Plan? What numbers can we agree to? Hopefully we can resolve some of that in a short period of time and put together something thats reasonably acceptable to everyone. He also suggested looking into the plans revenue projections to be sure they are accurate before going forward. We need a solution to our immediate crisis, he continued. I think people should be paid, but we need to get money in order to pay them and I think we need to expedite any solution that we can in order to bring about some fiscal solvency.

BIDEN
Trial date set for Old Forge police chief
He believes that Biden and President Barack Obama deserve another four years to finish their work and hopes to see either Biden or Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, another politician with local family ties, run for president next. West Scranton resident and founder of TwentyFiveEight Productions Markie Dennebaum was at the event to film the band Farley playing the square for an upcoming documentary and hoped to get some footage of the vice president as well. Dennebaum said he would like to see the Democrats be as politically aggressive as the Republicans have been, but he feels Biden and Obama are better choices than Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in the upcoming election. I think people call what Biden does gaffes, and I dont think thats true. I think its truth; I think he speaks the truth. Some people might not think its appropriate, but he tells it like it is, how it is, why it is, warts and all. I like that, Dennebaum commented. Its unfortunate that the moment you get elected you have to worry about your re-electionHopefully if he gets elected to the next term, he can do whatever he set out to do. Another West Scranton resident, Corey Bartell, said he has been going to the Fourth of July celebration to hear the NEPA Philharmonic every year since 1999, but this year would likely end up being his most memorable. After Bidens speech, the vice president walked a rope line to greet supporters before heading back to the airport and his return flight to Washington, D.C., giving Bartell a rare photo opportunity. I just basically went up to the front of the barricade and saw him going down the line shaking hands. I just waited until he got to me, Bartell explained. He said to me, Hey man, you want a picture? And I said, Yes! After the Secret Service agent took the picture, he mentioned that its going to be a good one. Bartell said he also appreciated how he made no mention of politics in his speech, focusing strictly on his Scranton roots. He basically stuck with talking about the history of his family in Scranton and how much integrity we have. I will definitely vote for Obama, and I did vote for him last election. I think its important to remember your roots and where you came from.

Old Forge captain awaits trial

voluntary deviate sexual intercourse, indecent assault and corruption of a minor. The woman accusing Krenitsky went to the Lackawanna County district attorneys office on Wednesday, May 2, to report that when she was 15 she was a victim of sexual assault by a member of the Old Forge Borough Police Department, according to a criminal complaint. The complaint states that the victim, now 23, became a member of the Old Forge Fire Department in September of 2004. The Fire Department is located at 310 S. Main St, Old Forge, and is attached to the police station. During her time as a member of the Fire Department, the victim allegedly became friends with Krenitsky, and the relationship became sexual in early 2005. The preliminary hearing for the case began on Wednesday, June 27, and the continuation was held on July 3. On Tuesday, Krenitskys attorney, Jason Mattioli requested that the charges of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and indecent assault be dismissed. Two of the major elements of the IDSI charge and the indecent assault is that the victim was 15 years of age or younger. We believe they cannot establish that, said Mattioli following the preliminary hearing. I believe there were statements made, and I have reports, where she puts herself at 16 and she back tracks to say she was
espite a request from his attorney, suspended Old Forge Police Captain James Krenitsky was ordered by Magisterial District Judge Sean McGraw to stand trial on all charges filed against him following his preliminary hearing on Tuesday, July 3.
Krenitsky has been accused of sexually assaulting a then 15year-old girl in 2005. He was arrested by Pennsylvania State Police on Wednesday, May 2, and has been charged with in-
15. Obviously I cant get into that at this stage, but it will definitely come out at later stages. During the hearing, Mattioli said originally some of the state polices reports listed the victims age as 14 years old during the time of the allegations, and her age was later changed to 15 on revised reports. Now were saying this thing (the allegations against Krenitsky) didnt happen whatsoever, but the dates are all over the place. The story is all over the place, said Mattioli. While there was some confusions on a few documents, Deputy District Attorney Jennifer McCambridge said she feels the victims story has been consistent.

St. Patricks Church hosts annual picnic

uring the hot summer months, the last thing on the minds of most people is a new a quilt, but for a number of parishioners at St. Patricks Church in West Scranton its all they can think about this weekend. Since its inception over 40 years ago, one of the more popular prizes at the St. Patricks Parish Picnic, scheduled for Friday and Saturday, July 13 and 14, has been the hand-made
tradition alive, and the group has been able to create one queensized quilt and several crib-sized quilts. One crib-sized quilt will be raffled off and the rest will be sold for $45. The quilts are just one of many prizes that those in attendance will have a chance to win, others include an afghan made and donated by Mary Ann Biel, a television and over a hundred baskets that have been donated to the basket raffle. The picnic, which is open from 5 to 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, also features a food tent with homemade pigs in a blanket, hamburgers, hotdogs, sausage and peppers and more, a beer tent, childrens games and live performances from Daddy-O and the Sax Maniax on Friday night and Old Friends on Saturday night. Over the years, different things have been added to the picnic, or taken away, but for the most part, the members of the community who come year after year feel the spirit has remained the same. I dont think its changed. The only thing that really changes are the people that come and go, said Mari Carr, who has volunteered for the picnic every year since joining the parish 26 years ago. Its always been a great fundraiser. Almost as important as the funds we raise, is bringing everyone together as a parish, added Linda Robeson. Involved in a number of activities in the church, including volunteering for the picnic over the years, Robeson is chairing the event for the first time this year.

The Rev. Martin Boylan, pastor of St. Patricks Church, said each year a group of quilters work tirelessly on Monday nights in the lower level of the church, sewing queen-sized and crib-sized quilts to be raffled off and sold during the picnic. Thats one of our biggest features, said Boylan. They gave me one 25 years ago when I was an assistant, and I still have it, and it still looks beautiful. (Its) quite amazing. In addition to the quality of the quilts, quilter Barb ONeill of West Scranton thinks that the rarity of a handmade quilt increases its value in the eyes of many in the community. There are not that many quilters around anymore, said ONeill. ONeill explained that quilting groups in the area are on the decline, and even the group that meets at St. Patricks has fewer members than ever before. In years past there were enough quilters for the group to donate as many as six or seven queen-sized quilts, but this year, with only six members, they will be donating one. Weve had other quilters come in, but they say its too hard, or its not a good night, and they stop coming, said ONeill. Luckily, the group at St. Patricks, while it may be small, it is dedicated. Every Monday, rain, shine, sleet, these ladies come out, and they are there regardless of the weather, and they are doing their thing, said Boylan. That dedication has kept the

County offers free guitar workshop

Lackawanna County is offering residents the opportunity to learn how to play the guitar through a free workshop. Lackawanna County Commissioners Jim Wansacz, Corey D. OBrien and Patrick M. OMalley have underwritten, Rhythm of the Region, a free guitar lesson, via a community arts and culture grant. Tim Farrell, a Pennsylvania Performing Arts on Tour Artist, will offer the workshop and perform a concert on Friday, July 13, at the Scranton Cultural Center, 420 N. Washington Ave., Scranton. The workshop will run from 5 to 7 p.m., followed by Farrells concert at 8 p.m. To register, call 963.6590 ext. 106 or email calveyc@lackawannacounty.org. The concert is free and open to the public. of St. Patricks. When churches close, it can sometimes be hard to find ways to get everyone together to feel like one parish, but the picnic has done just that, as this year members of all of those former parishes who are now a part of St. Patricks are volunteering to help out with the picnic. Robeson said the picnic has been lucky in being able to find people willing to volunteer year after year, but theyre always looking for a few more helping hands. Anyone interested in volunteering for the picnic, making a donation to the basket raffle or for more information, call 343.6864. The victim also accused suspended Old Forge Police Chief Larry Semenza and former firefighter Walter Chiavacci of sexual assault during the same time period as Krenitsky. Semenza and Chiavacci appeared before Judge Michael Barrasse at Lackawanna County Court on Friday, July 6. Semenza waived his right for a formal arraignment and pleaded not guilty. A trial date was scheduled for Monday, September 17. A trail date for Chiavacci was also scheduled for Sept. 17

Its always very interesting to get involved with something like this, because you see the generations of people who have been working it from year to year, so Im learning a lot, said Robeson. And, youre part of a big family when youre here so you kind of feel like youre planning the family picnic. And its a family that keeps growing. Since the closing of St. Davids, St. John the Baptist and Holy Cross churches, members of those churches are now a part
Landfill, garbage remaining in the streets would have its own devastating effect on the city by becoming a health and safety hazard. Kelly then called Business Administrator Ryan McGowan to the stand, who testified that the citys current cash balance as of that day is only $83,349.43, while paydays typically cost around $1 million. He said the citys bills outweigh its income with $3.6 million already in the red and with the majority of real estate taxes already spent to pay back the citys Tax Anticipation Note, as per an agreement with the bank. Only about $2 million in real estate taxes are additionally expected to come in over the next few months. McGowan said that over the last six months, City Councils public comments regarding a loan default with the Scranton Parking Authority and other financial matters have severely fractured the citys relationship with the banking community, so none will agree to loan the city money until a new Revised Recovery Plan is put in place, though council refuses to place it on their agenda after Doherty did not include their sug-
gestions in the plan after negotiating for months. While Kelly argued that the employees would be made whole in the future and pointed out that all city employees, not just unionized workers, were making $7.25, Jennings said the city has not clarified what the foreseeable future means and are choosing which contracts to violate by paying vendors and not employees. Im not choosing, McGowan responded. We dont have the money. Instead of sitting down with the unions and negotiating, Jennings countered, the mayor unilaterally acted with his letter informing employees that they would be paid minimum wage, forcing McGowan to admit that the administration did not approach the unions first before making his decision. Though Kelly continued to hammer home the administrations message that the city cannot pay what it doesnt have, Barrasse ultimately ruled in favor of the unions, upholding the citys contractual obligation to its employees. The city is now under a court order to pay the wages that have been collectively bargained by the police, the fire, and the DPW, and if they dont, theyre going to be in violation of a court order. And we will obviously, very promptly, pur-
sue any remedy that that entails, Jennings explained after the hearing. I cant believe that a public official would violate a court order. It just shocks me if that were to occur, but of course this is Scranton. (Doherty) will comply with the contract whether he wishes to do so or not. Hopefully what this will mean is a wake-up call to both the legislative and executive to get together and get this resolved. Its a tragedy. Judge said he hopes this will lead to the administration contacting council and resolving their differences over the Recovery Plan and lights a fire under them to get things done. I dont want to see a knee-jerk reaction from the city. Weve seen those before when things havent gone their way. I hope that they sit down and they think about this and figure out together exactly what this means for the citizens of Scranton, Judge commented while leaving the courthouse. It doesnt feel like victory to any of us.Theres a still the problem that needs to be fixed. When reached for comment hours later, Judge said that union members received their checks and found they were still paid minimum wage, which means they will file a contempt of court order on Monday.
TRIAL
I dont think there is any confusion as to the dates when it happened and the age that she was. Obliviously the age, her being under 16, is an element of the crime, but its the commonwealths contention that she has been crystal clear from day one as to when this occurred, and that she was 15 when it began, said McCambridge. The judge denied the request and bound over all charges to County Court. A formal arraignment has been scheduled for Friday, August 17, at 9 a.m.

Actors Circle stages original production
The staging of Where the Bleep is Poor Tom? is going to be special for a few reasons when it opens at Actors Circle in Scranton on Thursday, July 12. On top of it being one of the few original works written by a local writer the theater company has performed at the Providence Playhouse, its also giving Moosic residents J.P. McGowan and his daughter, Laura, a chance to share the stage. Shes one of the reasons Im doing it, McGowan said of his daughter. McGowan said he was on the fence about taking part in the production, but news that his daughter was joining the cast swayed him. I was like, Alright, if youre doing it, Ill do it. It seems fitting that Lauras involvement would coax McGowan, who has been involved with theater since 1980, to join the production, since it was her that got him to end a 17-year hiatus away from the theater almost a decade ago. Laura said when she was 16 years old she was approached by a director at Actors Circle to audition for the play Murder Takes the Stage. She was cast in the show as were her father and mother, Jeannine McGowan. That was the first time the family performed together, but it wouldnt be the last as they continued to be in a number of shows together since then. It can be a lot of fun. Its sort of a bonding experience, said Laura. McGowan described the opportunity to perform with his daughter as special, and he said he tries to savor the opportunities when they come. McGowans sentiments were echoed by John McInerney, who wrote Where the Bleep is Poor Tom? and knows firsthand how special sharing the stage with your daughter can be. He said over the years he has
had the opportunity to perform with his daughter, Colleen GraffWebb, starting when she was three years old and had a nonspeaking part in Oedipus Rex. She loved it, but the last dress rehearsal was the first time she saw Oedipus come out with the makeup, said McInerney. In the play, after Oedipus finds out he has unknowingly killed his father and married his mother, he gouges his eyes out. The sight of the actor playing Oedipus like that gave the young actress second thoughts about performing in the show, but the director found a way to convince her to stay with it. He promised her a creamsicle, every night, if she did it, said McInerney. And as soon as the play was over she would say, Can I have my popsicle now? Members of the cast, which in addition to JP and Laura, includes John Arena, Lisa Chokola, Jeff Ginsberg, John Jacobs, Patti Purcell and Bill Mecca, said that stories like this are a part of almost every production they have ever been in. In some cases, the show going on backstage is more entertaining than the one the audience gets to see, and McInerney is hoping to give people a little glimpse into that world with this play. Where the Bleep is Poor Tom tells the story of a prima donna movie star who visits a college campus to star in their production of King Lear, bringing comic chaos wherever he goes. The stars ex-wife, a harried professor producer, an eccentric local publicist, a drunken professional actor, a nervous student actress, a director losing his cool, and an anxious nun, whos in charge of the parochial school children who are extras in the play round out the cast. The show is loosely based on McInerneys experiences of being the liaison between actor Richard

Nay Aug hosts July 4 events

The annual Independence Day Celebration was held at Nay Aug Park on July 4.
Maryrita Stuckert performs.
Dozens of veterans, families, and patriotic citizens gathered at the Nay Aug Park Swim Complex on the morning of July 4 for the annual Independence Day Celebration, honoring those who served in the nations armed forces with a color and firing detail, flag pageant and escort, and music by the Ringgold Band.
Each and every day, great men and women, like those among us today, have defended freedom and served our country with honor, waging war so that we might know peace, braving hardship so that we might know opportunity, and sometimes paying the ultimate price so we may know freedom, said keynote speaker Michael Semian, commandant at the Gino J. Merli Veterans Center. Let us work together to create an America that remains the worlds strongest force for peace, justice and freedom. Let us work for an America that is not driven apart by differences, but instead is united around shared values and respect for each other. Let us work for an America in which every one of us, without regard to race, religious beliefs, gender, or station in life, can achieve our dreams. After the event, another ceremony was held on the other side of the park for Marine Lance Cpl. Larry Johnson, a graduate of Scranton High School who died at the age of 19 while supporting combat operations in Afghanistan in 2010. Today is a very special day. This is my eleventh years where weve observed this service, but it is the first year that weve had the opportunity to recognize someone in our midst who was here for many years and died in the service of our country, Mayor Chris Doherty said, referring to Johnson. On this day, more than any other day, we stop, we think, and we say thanks to those who served on our behalf. In our crowd today are many, many veterans who performed that service and did it so that we can enjoy great pleasures and opportunities that come with being an American.

Lively Shakespeare revamp

sk any English teacher how difficult it is to get people interested in William Shakespeare its no easy task despite The Bards continued popularity in the theatrical arts. Oneofthereasonsforthispopularity is the materials timelessness, a feature the REV Theatre Company captured perfectly in its production of Midsummer Nights Dream at the inaugural Scranton Shakespeare Festival June 30 and July 1 at Nay Aug Park.
This isnt to say that modernized adaptations of Wills work havent been done before, but when somethings done well, it doesnt really matter if its breaking new ground. Drawing in over 200 people on Sunday, it seems a lot of others didnt seem to mind either. Containing a mix of local talent and actors and crew from New York and Philadelphia, the company made the park their playground, using only metal ladders, a platform, and small, inflatable childrens pools as a set. They spoke the original text as it was meant to be heard, but incorporated modern costumes that ranged from the practical to the outrageous, each fitting the characters they were portraying. Fairies were dressed in mismatched neon colors and accessories while the Athenians were clothed in contemporary suits and dresses. The arrogant Nick Bottom, played hysterically by West Scranton native Michael Bradshaw Flynn, wore a tank top that appropriately read Bottom is tops. These characters were clearly cast correctly, but Rudy Caporaso as the mis-

chievous Puck absolutely stole every scene he was in. Clad in a white sequined suit with feathered wings on his back topped off with a red cap, he flamboyantly and uproariously threw himself into the role and onto the audience, sitting on peoples laps for solos and playfully messing with his fellow actors. The incorporation of current music didnt seem forced, and when a convertible or motorcycle shows up on set, it didnt seem out of place amidst the highenergy presentation. For those who would normally be lost amongst the flowery language, these additions help bridge the gap between Shakespeares time and our own while giving people a chuckleatthesheerabsurdityoftechnology mixed with old poetic English. Despite the engaging performances, I
couldnt help but notice the reactions of the crowd, which were overwhelming positive.Youngandoldsatallaroundthe open stage laughing and smiling, and I didnt see anyone leave during intermission in fact, the audience only grew as the night went on. I had to laugh to myself when two tough guys, bearing their muscles in the summer heat, wandered across the back of the set and stared as they tried to piece together what they had stumbled upon. Within a few minutes, both men proceeded to sit on a nearby wall and watch the rest of the show, and if I were an English teacher, I would venture to guess that these guys werent the types to get up and volunteer to read lines from Julius Caesar in class. But the benefit of A Midsummer Nights Dream is that peo-
ple falling in and out of love never stops beingfunnyorrelevant,soifyoucouldnt relate to at least one character in the show, youre probably as dead as Caesar himself. My only criticism is that while most of the actors could project very well, some lines were lost here and there in the open air. Body mics may have helped alleviate that problem, but may have added to the cost of the small production, so its understandable why they were likely absent. Even the cast later admitted that they werent expecting such a great turnout, so they may not have thought theyd need them, but one can never underestimate the power of Shakespeare, particularly when its done right. Take note, educators.

Getting ready to go
BACK TO SCHOOL
guess that I didnt get the memo that school is right around the corner. Most schools just graduated within the last two weeks, but stores are starting to offer back to school deals. The bright side is that customers can really take advantage of great deals and save money on school supplies. The most important part of back to school shopping is getting organized. Its important to make a list of the supplies that each child will need and contact the school to make sure that you are getting the right supplies.

school supplies and end up paying twice as much while shopping at one store. Since the back to school sales have started early this year, there is time to stretch every dollar by shopping at different stores each week depending on the deals, coupons, and rebates at each store. Search the Sunday paper to find out which stores are offering sales for items on your list. If you are the type of person who wants to buy everything in one trip, remember that Walmart will price match competitors ads but get organized and bring all competitor ads with you just in case there is a problem. Since there is still time before school actually starts, visit websites like ACMoore.com, Staples, and DollarGeneral.com to sign up for promotions and coupons through their weekly newsletter. This will also give you early access to their weekly circular to plan ahead for sales. Facebook pages are also a great place to find printable coupons. Many stores offer rebates, both instant and online, that can really help you stay within your budget, so be sure to scan ads for those deals as well. Target is known for offering gift cards when you purchase a certain number of items plus you can also use coupons. Visit Target.com/coupons for the latest printable coupons and text HELP to 827438 to sign up for
Ask questions about what supplies are off limits as well as what supplies are provided by the school. It would be a shame to waste money on supplies that the school has already purchased like pencils and crayons. Its also important to set a budget of how much money you will spend on supplies for each child since a child in kindergarten may not need the same amount of supplies as a fifth grader. If each child has a budget, this will help you organize a shopping strategy. Although its tempting, try not to buy all school supplies in one store and in one week. Most people wait until the last minute to purchase
coupon alerts from Target. Backpacks and lunch boxes can be bought for cheap or even free after rebates and sales. Toys R Us featured a deal last week that I am sure we will see again before school starts. The deal was buy a backpack and get a free lunch tote. Toys R Us and Babies R Us also offer some great coupons, so its a good idea to sign up for their newsletter as well. Target.com is also offering $10 off when you buy two JanSport Backpacks with coupon code TGT6W4WC and get 5% off and free shipping using a Red Card. Staples has some nice freebies this week starting Sunday, July 8. Buy Scotch Super Glue Gel .5 grams for $4.29, get $1.30 instant savings and submit for $2.99 easy rebate and the final price will be free. Also, get a Staples 2013 desktop calendar for $4.99, submit for $4.99 easy rebate, and the final price will be free; there is a limit of two per household.

Whether you are happy about back to schools sales starting this early or freaked out, there is nothing we can do but embrace the sales and get a head start to save money for the 2012-13 school year. Do you start shopping this early for school supplies? We would love to know what you think. Share your thoughts at facebook.com/golackawanna.
Harris and the University of Scranton in 1987, when Harris came to do a production of Julius Caesar at the university. The play heavily fictionalizes my memories of that, said McInerney. McInerney gave the script to Lou Bisignani close to two years ago in the hopes that he would direct. Bisignani, who said he has been encouraging Actors Circle to put on more original work, liked the script and agreed. The theater was rented to another group the past two summers, but this summer, with no one occupying Providence Playhouse, Actors Circle finally had the chance to stage the production. McInerney, who has been involved in the rehearsal process, has staged two dramatic readings of the script since its completion, but this is the first time he is seeing a full production of his work, and so far he likes what hes seen. Im grateful for Lous insights for what works and what doesnt, said McInerney. That enhances whats on the page. Years ago I directed (a play I had written) Secrets, and that experience showed me that its not generally good (for) the writer to direct his work.
McInerney went on to say that by handing the play off to someone else, it gives the work a chance to be looked at from a fresh perspective, not just from Bisignani, but from the cast. While the Actors Circle has performed original plays in the past, for the most part the company stages plays that have been done before. As a result, even though each actor brings something unique to the role, in many ways the parts have been established. Performing a play like Where the Bleep is Poor Tom, which has never been done before, gives the actors a little more responsibility. In an original work, youre working to shape the character as you go along, said West Scranton resident Purcell. You get to bring that character to life first, because no one has ever performed that character before, said Laura. McInerney said the play has benefited from everyones work and input.

group of 10 students have been busy making art the past two weeks at New Visions Studio & Gallery. A permanent installation sculpture that will exist inside the Scranton gallery has been in the planning stages for the past six months. The project was conceived by New Visions co-owner and project coordinator Melanie Boisseau and was funded
by the Lackawanna County Arts and Culture 2012 Grant. Participating students include Assunta Anelli, Cloud Bembenek, Julie May, Casey Moore, Emily Pruyn, Melanie Rosato, Mia Snyder, Elizabeth Youshock, Hailey Youshock and Miranda Zabatta. These students, with the help of New Visions interns Joe Heckel and Lizzy Neuhausel, came to the gallery
for eight days in June to complete the project. The sculpture Tea Party on the Ceiling was the end result. The process was creating an imaginary tea party scene of two chairs and table set for two for tea on top of an ornate oriental rug. The installation is in the process of being permanently adhered to the ceiling of the gallery space inside New Visions. This installation will stay inside the gallery in-
definitely for all to enjoy. New Visions will hold a public unveiling of the installation on Friday, July 13 at 6 p.m. to officially congratulate the students . This unveiling is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served and there will be acoustic music by local musician Danny Jackowitz. New Visions Studio & Gallery is located at 201 Vine St., Scranton.

to finish strong. The Invaders did not stop there. With seven starters and two key reserves from the high school team playing prominently, the improvement shown in the second half of the high school season has carried over during American Legion season. A core group that needed a big surge just to avoid last place in the spring will be in the District 11 playoffs when they start today, Sunday, July 8. I think we play defense a lot better, said Mike Zaccheo, a second baseman and second hitter in the lineup on both teams. Our hitting has come around, but our pitching and defense has carried us. George Roskos has spent eight seasons as manager of the American Legion team. In his first season as head coach of the high school team, the Invaders, with just two returning starters, were winless past the halfway point in the season. After starting 0-8, West Scranton split its last six high school games, suffering losses by just one, two and three runs. From there, West Scranton kept getting better. The team had the lead at times before finishing tied for third out of nine District 11 Legion teams. "We may have matured a little from those tough times," Mark Murphy said. The team has benefited from an approach Allen Iverson would love. Roskos keeps his team busier with games than any other team in the Legion league, going 15-10 overall with nonleague and tournament play. He said that unlike football, where the four or five days of practice are essential to preparation for each game, he thinks baseball is best learned through game action. Excelling in such an ap-

proach requires deep pitching. We have good pitching. Its an advantage for us, said Zaccheo. We can throw four different guys and still have a chance to win. A team that was inexperienced in April can no longer be described that way in July. I think we learned from the experience at high school as a young team, said Rich Majorino, a shortstop. I knew it could happen with some kids like James Dunning coming back." Dunning, a West Scranton graduate, has been a big boost after playing a season with Keystone Colleges national Division III contender. And, the players who have been together throughout the year have made sure to put the bad start behind them. Dan Repshis, Nick Ivanoff, Mason Marsico and Collin Lipowitch join Majorino, Murphy and Zaccheo as starters for both teams. Jeremy Wassil, a back-up for the Invaders, has taken over as a starting catcher and provided a boost with a game-winning hit against South Scranton. Tyler Gatto is getting more work as a pitcher with the busier schedule. The teams manager scheduled extra games for his team throughout the regular season. The players have responded by extending the schedule themselves with a winning record and playoff appearance.

Penn State names former Viking new head coach

SPORTS BRIEFS
McMyne saves three straight Old Forge graduate Kyle McMyne posts his first three saves for the Bakersfield Blaze in consecutive California League appearances ending July 1. McMyne, a fourth-round pick of the Cincinnati Reds in 2011, was 1-0 with three saves in his last seven appearances through July 4. At that point, he had worked one scoreless inning in each of his last six outings. McMyne, who also pitched at Villanova University, was 3-2 with two saves earlier this season with Dayton of the Midwest League. Yankees struggle vs. IronPigs The Scranton/WilkesBarre Yankees lost ground to the International League North Division-leading Lehigh Valley IronPigs during a five-game series this week in Allentown. Brandon Laird and Russell Branyan led the way Wednesday, July 4 in an 8-5 win over the IronPigs. They each had two hits,
The Penn State Wilkes-Barre baseball program could use a boost. Director of Athletics Brian D. Stanchak is hoping to get it from former Lion Jason McManus. McManus, a Riverside High School graduate who had been serving as junior varsity coach for the Vikings, was named Tuesday, July 3 to take over at Penn State Wilkes-Barre. As a player, McManus helped Penn State Wilkes-Barre to Commonwealth Colleges Athletic Conference Eastern Division titles in 1991 and 1992. If the Lions are looking for a way to improve after going 6-19 in 2011 and 3-21 in 2010, they can expect their coach to be leading by example. I have a lot of passion, energy and enthusiasm for the game, McManus said. Im the type of coach that doesnt mind getting involved with the kids at practice, going out showing them that I can still shag flyballs and go out and still run a few laps with them. I live, eat and sleep the game of baseball. I want them to enjoy it for what it is. There are thousands of kids out there today who dont get
the opportunity to play a game like this. I want our young men to understand were playing a game. Theyre not getting paid for what they do. Stanchak was impressed by that enthusiasm. I am thrilled to name Jason as our new head baseball coach, he said in a press release. His experience as a student-athlete here will be a tremendous asset to our baseball program. His passion for the university and the game of baseball is unmatched and I am confident that he will lead our baseball program to a high level of success. McManus became coach of the Riverside junior high team in 2005 and led it to a Lackawanna League championship in 2007. He took over the junior varsity in 2009 and also worked with the varsity team where he credits head coach Dan Digwood as a mentor. In the summer, McManus was the Old Forge Junior Legion coach in 2008 before moving to the Senior program for 2009-2011. He led the Old Forge Legion team to a 2010 playoff appearance. McManus lives in Larksville and is employed by RCN Corporation as a Development and Quality Specialist.
Peoples, a Scranton resident, was a state track champion while a student at Riverside. The 32-year-old finished in 16:25 to defeat one of the current top distance runner from District 2, 16-year-old Regan Rome from Dallas, by 36 seconds. University of Scranton track and cross country runner Jeremy Evans was third among the men. Chris Wadas finished first. Zaccheo honored by Landmark West Scranton graduate Kelly Zaccheo was one of four University of Scranton spring student-athletes to land spots on the Landmark Conference all-Academic team. The senior softball player was joined by womens lacrosse player Kaela Mahon, mens tennis player Tim McGurrin and baseball player Robert Della Polla. McGurrin is a Scranton Prep graduate. Zaccheo was a four-year starter. The second-team conference all-star batted .395 as a senior to finish her career with 105 hits. -Compiled by Tom Robinson

It will be called off if either team is still playing in the state playoffs at that point.
raised more than $600,000 for the Kidney Cancer Association since 2003. After making a major impact off the field, Shrive is building toward making one on the field. When first-year coach Bill OBrien released his first depth chart June 5, Shrive made his first appearance on the second team. Originally considered one of the nations top recruits at tackle, the 6foot-6, 312-pounder is listed as the second right guard. Most important to Shrive is that he is closer to being among the five offensive linemen in the starting unit. The thing I learned early on is that youre not just a right guard and youre not just a left tackle, Shrive said.
Were versatile on the offensive line. The only position on the offensive line I havent played is center. As a result, within the second-team players there is competition for playing time. You have to prepare yourself for whatever, Shrive said. At the Division I level, you dont have a back-up for every position. Theres two deep on the depth chart, but if something happens on the offensive line and Johnnys your next best guy, hes going to go in and you may have to move someone else. The way we play is you play your five best guys and whoever is next has to go in. OBrien came out of spring practice saying he is happy with the depth in the offensive line. The benefits of having so many guys on the depth chart across the offensive line are number one, if you have a health issue there really is
not a big drop off to the next guy, and number two, you can keep guys fresh during the game, especially at the tempo we want to play with, he said. There are probably eight to 10 guys up there who can play. Although he has impressed coaches more than ever before, Shrive said he does not feel any different about how he fits in with the Nittany Lions. Everyones a part of the team, the hospitality management major said. The equipment manager is as much a part of the team as the quarterback. At such a high skill level as you are at Penn State, and coach OBrien preaches this, know your role. Everyone has a role. Up until now, that role has often involved helping the starting defense get a look at the opposing offense. I got a couple years experi-
Lift for Life

Offensive linemen will compete against defensive linemen; running backs and tight ends will go against linebackers; and quarterbacks and wide receivers will go against defensive backs to make Fridays Lift for Life at Penn State more interesting to fans. Competition will be held in the tire flip, tug of war, an obstacle course and four other events during the fundraiser for the Kidney Cancer Association. Fans can make tax-deductible donations at www.upliftingathletes.org or by calling Deloris Brobeck at 814-865-1946 during business hours.
ence playing against guys like Devon Still and Jared Odrick, who were first- (and second) round draft picks, every day at practice, Shrive said. Im really looking forward to this year.
