Mayor Chris Doherty’s cutsto the city’s fire and police de-partments continued to reso-

nate through-out Scrantonthis week.The police

department isfaced with 13terminationsas the fire de-

partment struggles to dealwith eight personnel losses asthe city simultaneously floun-ders economically.I took time to further review

the conversations I had withcity leaders last week to pre-pare for this week’s issue. It ap-pears that the “last man in,first man out” methods used interminations –whether they’refinancially justified or not –

may have hurt just as much asany loss of personnel.Scranton Police Chief Dan

Duffy put it best.“Typically the norm is that

you have the most aggressiveand most eager people outthere and they’re the newerpeople in the department,”Duffy said. “Do I want to losethose people and have thempotentially move on to anotheragency? No, I don’t necessarilywant to do that, but that’s justthe way the system works.”

Upon reflection, one termi-nation stuck out like a sorethumb – even above a memberof the police department whowas a neighbor of mine grow-ing up in West Scranton.One of the officers losing

their jobs is 26-year-old Ptlm.Brennan McDermott.Duffy went out of his way to

recognize McDermott’s hero-ics earlier this year when herescued a family of eight, in-cluding six children, from aProspect Avenue fire on April26.While McDermott said in

April that it was another dayon the job, Duffy’s commentsthen also rang true.“Had he not continued with

his efforts in trying to wakethese people up and force him-

self into this house, we couldhave had a major tragedy onour hands,” Duffy said at theApril 27 press conference heorganized.City Council also recognized

McDermott’s efforts above thecall of duty in May and madespecial note that he wouldhave lost his job through Do-herty’s proposed cuts in hisversion of the 2011 budget.I’m sure McDermott will

find gainful employment, butI’m also pretty certain he couldhave done more incrediblethings in this city.

Cuts will take some of the city’s mostambitious public safety workers

SCRANTON – The attorneyrepresenting Scranton’s fire andpolice unions in their ongoinglegislation against the city ofScranton has filed a lawsuit onbehalf of the 21men andwomenwho will lose their jobs on Aug.29, 2011 following their an-nounced terminations on July29 by Mayor Chris Doherty.The lawsuit, listing all 21

workers as plaintiffs versus thecity of Scranton andDoherty “inhis capacity as the Mayor of theCity of Scranton,” was filed Fri-

Suit over cutsbases argumenton ordinancesBy CHRISTOPHER J. [email protected]

SCRANTON – The city’s“dire economic circum-stances” stem from a

seemingly obvious place: theloss of revenue and increase inexpenditures.But several items either pro-

posed inCityCouncil’s 2011budgetor discovered during the course ofthe fiscal yearmay havewarded offthe announced cuts of eight firefighters and 13 police officers.Mayor Chris Doherty an-

nounced the cuts on July 29, andthey are effective Aug. 29.

In a July 29 interview, Dohertyblamed revenue shortfalls on coun-cil’s reduction in real estate taxes by10.55 percent and business privilegeand mercantile taxes by 25 percentthis year, producing what he pre-dicted was a shortfall of $2 millionin revenue.

Unexpected revenue goneThis week, Scranton Tax Collec-

tor Bill Courtright reiterated his of-fice’s discovery of $569,310 in 888tax revenue earlier this year. The888 money is a wage tax placed onnon-residentswhowork in Scrantonwhose hometown does not have awage tax.According to City Clerk Nancy

Krake, the city received $409,882 ofthat money in a check dated June22, 2011.The remainder of the fundswas distributed to Lackawanna

County and the Scranton SchoolDistrict, Courtright said.However, the recent sale of the

former Mercy Hospital in Scrantonto Community Health Systems,Inc., produced an unexpected$2,080,671.04 in real estate transfertax payable directly to the city, ac-cording to Lackawanna County Re-corder of Deeds Evie RafalkoMcNulty.The city’s administrative code

says that “councilmaymake supple-mental appropriations for any law-ful purpose from funds on hand orestimated to be received within thefiscal year and not appropriated toany other purpose.”Business Administrator Ryan

McGowan said Friday that themon-ey has already been put to use.

SCRANTON – More than 40 citi-zens packed City Council chamberson Thursday night for an emergen-cy meeting to discuss Mayor ChrisDoherty’s elimination of eight fire-fighters and 13 police officers. Cutsare effective Aug. 29.Not one speaker was in support of

the layoffs, and many asked councilto fight them any way they could.The first speaker, Andy Sbaraglia,

SCRANTON – CityCouncil called a specialmeeting on Thursdaynight to express theirviews on Mayor Chris Do-herty’s July 29 announce-ment that he would cuteight firefighters and13po-lice officers and to respondto the mayor’s claim thatcouncil’s 2011 budget is toblame for many of thecity’s financial issues.

Council said that theywere notinformed of the cuts until theyheard about them in the media,displaying a continued lack ofcommunication and cooperationbetweencouncil and theadminis-tration that has led to many oftheir disputes over the last yearand a half.Councilman Bob McGoff was

on vacation and could not attendthe meeting.“What Mayor Doherty’s doing

is just completely pure politics.He’s attacking the police, the fire-fighters, West Scranton, andNorth Scranton especially be-cause the police unions and thefire unions have not supported

him. Why would they with theway he treats them? And WestScranton andNorth Scrantonhasnot supported him, historically,so they’re the areas he’s going totarget. It’s all political for him,”CouncilVicePresidentPatRogansaid.“Mayor Doherty figures in his

last two and half years that he’sgoing to put it to everyone whogave him a hard time.”Rogan refuted Doherty’s state-

ment that emergency responsetimes wouldn’t suffer and a de-crease in overall public safetywould not occur when the cuts

criminal trespass and one count ofcriminal mischief in the alleged Aug. 1incident.According to the affidavit:David Kaplan, who owns the build-

ing on Providence Road, was therechecking the damage after Friday’swind storm. When he entered one ofthe offices, he saw three Hispanicmales. One allegedly ran away to-wards a rear exit.When Kaplan told the remaining

twomen that theywere going to be ar-rested, one allegedly replied, “Oh,well, we’re homeless.”The three men apparently gained

entry by shattering a window above arear door, and then climbing on top ofa roof to get in. An office doorwas alsodamaged after they had forced it open.Officers responded to Kaplan’s call

and searched the building and the sur-rounding area.One of the officers stopped two

males on the 100 block of TownhouseBoulevard, one of them fitting the de-scriptiongivenbyKaplan.Hepositive-ly identifiedValentin asoneof themenhe found on his property, but he couldnot properly ID the other.Valentin allegedly told officers that

he “entered an unlocked door in therear of the building and remained in-side for two days.” He would not tellofficers the names of the other men.ValentinwasarraignedonAug.1and

are made Aug. 29.“That is not possible when

you are taking guys off thestreet…Either the mayor is ly-ing to you or he’s an idiot. Ithink it’s the first one, if notthe second,” Rogan said.“It’s not a battle to save jobs.

It’s a battle to save lives.”Councilman Jack Los-

combe added that the admin-istration hasn’t cited any stud-ies that prove that responsetimes won’t be affected andfound that many cut posi-tions, such as fire inspectors,are integral to public safety.Hewas also disappointed thatthe police and fire chiefs sup-ported the mayor’s decision.“They have to realize

they’re not just working forthe mayor. They’re workingfor us and you, the taxpayer,especially. That’s what they’rethere for. If they see thatthere’s a safety problem, theyshould speak up to the mayor.That’s what they’re there for –not to follow his every order,”Loscombe said.While Doherty laid blame

in a July 29 interviewon coun-cil’s 2011 budget, criticizingcouncil for reducing real es-tate taxes by 10.55 percentand business privilege andmercantile taxes by 25 per-cent, among other amend-ments, Council FinanceChairman Frank Joyce pre-sented council’s side throughthe numbers.“After the first sixmonthsof

this year, as a result of cuttingtaxes, the city has realized on-ly $333,628 less in real estatetax revenue and $227,637 lessin business privilege tax andmercantile tax revenue whilethe city’s actually received$494,164 more in wage taxrevenue than it had during the

same time last year when fac-toring in 888 funds,” Joyce ex-plained.“What Mayor Doherty and

the administration fail to re-veal, as per (Business Admin-istrator Ryan) McGowan’smost recent report, is thattheir projections for penaltiesand interest, licensing andpermits, as well as depart-mental earnings are collec-tively $1.26million under pro-jected,” Joyce said, addingthat their health expenditureprojectionswere also $3.6mil-lion under.The mayor also violated

council’s budget, membershave claimed, by hiring backfour Department of PublicWorks employees and grant-ing his secretary a raise thatwasn’t budgeted for. The bud-get had little chance of beingbalanced even in January,Joyce said, as the 2010 operat-ing budget had come up over$4.7 million short despiteclaims by Doherty that it wasbalanced.“This realization was even

recognized by the Pennsylva-nia Economy League. Scran-ton City Council was notwarned that the 2010 operat-ing budget came up $4.7 mil-lion short until the city con-troller’s report was issued tocouncil on January 21, 2011,long after the 2011 operatingbudget, as amended, waspassed,” Joyce said.“They decided to defer

$11,282,836.87 worth of billsthat were due in 2010 to bepaid in 2011, none of whichwere budgeted for in the 2011operating budget originallysent down by the administra-tion,” he continued.“The sum of all current

wage tax revenue with 888funds, current real estate taxrevenue, business privilegetax revenue, mercantile taxrevenue, and local service taxrevenue was projected bycouncil to bring in

$37,737,216. As per…McGo-wan’s most recent report, heprojects that based on currenttrends that these revenueitems that council amendedwill bring in $37,786,900,making council’s projections$49,684 lower than what Mr.McGowan actually projectedwill be realized.“These taxes are the only

current taxes that wereamended by council, thoughthe administration likes topoint fingers at council, say-ing it’s our bad revenue fig-ures.”Loscombe feels that the ad-

ministration “methodicallyand systematically” sabo-taged council’s budget by notimplementing their revenuesuggestions or recognizingtheir adopted legislation.“This mayor thinks he’s

Walt Disney. He’s only inter-ested in parks, not your publicsafety,” he said.“If our budget was followed

to a ‘T,’ we’d be in a much bet-ter place right now and amuch safer place…He can dowhatever he wants. Why isthere a supermajority vote ifhe can still override our over-ride in his mind?”Council President Janet

Evans cited Article VI, Sec-tions 601 and 602 of the Ad-ministrative Code that statethat if a cash deficit shouldarise, the mayor and councilmust work with the businessadministrator on an agreeablesolution. It also grants councilthe power to “make supple-mental appropriations for anylawful purpose from funds onhand or estimated to be re-ceived within the fiscal yearand not appropriated to anyother purpose. Such supple-mental appropriations shallbe considered by Council asan ordinance amending theannual budget.”She also cited Article IX,

Section 909 of the Home RuleCharter, which states:

“Should a deficit develop theMayor shall make recommen-dations to minimize the defi-cit and for that purpose Coun-cilmay reduce other appropri-ations.”As such, council solicitor

Boyd Hughes sent a letter onAug. 3 to the mayor that de-manded cooperation betweenthe administration and coun-cil. According to the letter,council will call a specialmeeting during August topass an ordinance amendingthe 2011budget to provide forthe receipt of $2,080,671.04 inrealty transfer tax from thesale of Mercy Hospital,$409,882.09 in 888 taxes, andan estimated amount of$246,261.09 in realty transfertax from the sale of MosesTaylor Hospital.“I believe that council

should exercise both litigativeand legislative measures tostop a mayor who is not onlybreaking laws, but inventingthem to suit his own agenda,and in so doing, is harmingthe health, safety, and welfareof you, the people of the city,”Evans said.“We will explore all options

possible to help put a stop towhat Mayor Doherty is tryingto do,” Joyce added. “Thiscannot happen any longer,and it’s going to stop rightnow.”Council received a standing

ovation from citizens in at-tendance, andnotone speakerat the meeting agreed withthemayor’s public safety cuts.The mayor said in an inter-

view on July 29 that council’srole in city government is tosimply vote the administra-tion’s legislation “up ordown,” not to amend and passtheir own, with the exceptionof financial legislation.“This is a strong mayor

form of government,” he said.“If we go to court, I’m going tosay to the judge, ‘You tell mewhat (bills) not to pay.’”

SOUTH ABINGTON TOWNSHIP -Horses that were killed in a blaze atOver The Hill Farm are being repre-sented on T-shirts designed by 25-year-old graphic designer Kristy Jamison,of Scranton, and sold as one of severalfundraisers set to held owners rebuildafter the July 24 blaze.

The late July fire killed 23 horsesand spawned an outpouring of socialmedia and community support.

The shirts feature a silhouette of 23running horses, along with the words,

“Twenty-three bright new stars in thesky, forever in our hearts, Over TheHill Farm, July 24, 2011”.

Jamison said that she used to partic-ipate in 4H when she was younger andknows several people who were per-sonally affected by the tragedy.

“I wanted the design to convey thescale of the devastation, to show howmany horses were lost in the tragedy ina sensitive way,” Jamison said in an e-mail. “As I was putting the design to-gether, I was struck to see graphicallyhow many horses were lost.

“You can hear someone say ‘23

horses were lost’ and you realize it’s alot, but you can’t understand the scaleuntil you can see those 23 horses to-gether in front of you, even silhouettedon a computer screen. Then you canbegin to see what ‘23’ really means.”

Gretchen Wyden, of Devine Equinein Clarks Summit, said that an orderhas been put in for 500 shirts, as wellas 600 rubber bracelets, which will besold at her store.

Other shops joining the cause in-clude Spur of the Moment Tack Shopin Dallas and Lithia Valley Horse Farmin Factoryville.

Wyden said that the T-shirt andbracelet sales will go toward schoolingtack for the farm and the veterinarianbills for the three horses that are stillbeing treated for severe burns.

The T-shirts will also be sold at vari-ous upcoming horse shows in the area,including a benefit show which is setto take place at Aberdeen Stables inMadison Township on Saturday, Aug.27.

Trainer Samantha Musante said theevent will include classes of Englishriders, a small western show, a foodstand and a basket raffle.

Community support continues for horse farmBy ELIZABETH BAUMEISTERThe Abington Journal staff

CLARKS SUMMIT -The Abington HeightsEducation Associationhas filed an unfair laborpractice against the schooldistrict over the recentpublic discussions ofgrievances.

The newest grievance,which Superintendent Mi-chael Mahon discussed duringthe board’s Aug. 5 work ses-sion, was filed in response tothe board’s recent review anddiscussion of grievances filedby the AHEA during itsmonthly work sessions andmeetings.

“The unfair labor practice isdemanding that we stop talk-ing about grievances,” saidMahon.

The filing claims that byholding discussions on griev-ances filed by the AHEA, thedistrict is violating the collec-tive bargaining agreement’sgrievance procedure.

It further states that the cur-rent grievance procedure re-

quires parties to keep griev-ances confidential and forbidsthe parties from disclosinggrievances to third parties, in-cluding the general public.

In a phone interview, Ma-hon said that he has reviewedthe grievance procedure and itsays nothing about the districtnot being allowed to discussthe grievances in public.

The issue of grievances firstcame up during the board’swork session on June 1.

Mahon proposed to AHEAPresident Marcelle Genovesethat one grievance would bediscussed during his superin-tendent’s report twice amonth.

Working in chronological or-der, backward, from the griev-ance most recently filed, thegoal was to look at the dis-trict’s stance and the associ-ation’s stance in each griev-ance in an effort for the publicto judge which party has been

more reasonable.When asked during June’s

work session if she approvedofthese discussions, Genovesereplied,

“I have no problem what youdo in public,” and the griev-ance discussions began duringthe board’s June meeting.

Despite the unfair laborpractice, Mahon said griev-ance discussions during meet-ings will continue, and laterthis month this most recentgrievance will be discussed inmore detail.

Genovese was not in attend-ance Wednesday and did notreturn a request for comment.

In other news, Mahon an-nounced that the new lockershave been installed at Abing-ton Heights High School.

The lockers were installedby Upright Material Handling,Inc., at a cost of $98,780.

The district’s real estateschool tax bills have beenmailed.

Taxpayers who did not re-ceive their real estate schooltax bills should contact theirtax collector for a duplicatecopy of the tax bill.

In a phone interview, Mahon said that he has reviewed the grievanceprocedure and it says nothing about the district not being allowed to

discuss the grievances in public.

DUNMORE - If you’re on thehunt for homemade Italianfood that makes you thinkyou’re in the “old country,”look no further than the annualSS. Anthony and Rocco ParishFestival.This year’s festival will take

place from August 12 to 14 onthe grounds of St. Rocco’sChurch, 114 Kurtz St., Dun-more. The festival has beenheld continuously on thegrounds of St. Rocco’s Churchsince its founding in1908 by immigrantsfrom the town ofGuardia dei Lombar-di, located in AvellinoProvince in Italy’sCampania region.“We have great food

and great traditions,”said Fr. David Cappel-loni, pastor of SS. An-thony and Rocco Par-ish. “We have a feelingof family, community,and camaraderie atthis festival. It is aneighborhood eventbut it is open to the whole area,and the fact that it is a neigh-borhood event gives it its feel.”One highlight of the festival

is the procession in honor of St.Rocco, which will take place onSunday, Aug. 14 at noon, fol-lowing a mass in honor of thesaint at St. Rocco’s Church thatwill begin at 11 a.m.St. Rocco, the protector

against the deadly plague, hasbeen considered the patronsaint of Guardia dei Lombardisince 1656 when a deadlyplague and drought sweptthrough the town, killing 1,110of its 1,475 residents. The firstprocession in honor of St. Roc-cowas held that year to ask himto end the plague and has con-tinued yearly to this day.By the time the Guardiese

immigrants had arrived inDunmore, the procession inhonor of St. Rocco had been anintegral part of life in their Ital-ian community for over 250years.“The procession in honor of

St. Rocco is themost important

highlight of this festival,” saidlongtime parishioner Carlo Pi-sa, whose grandparents camefrom Guardia dei Lombardi.“Anyone who witnesses thisprocession will witness some-thing from a bygone era thatthese days can only be seen inmovies. They will feel as if theyhave been transported back intime as they take part in a tradi-tion that has taken place inDunmore’s Bunker Hill neigh-borhood for over 100 years.”This year will mark the un-

veiling of a new fiberglass stat-ue of St. Rocco. Theoriginal statue,which dates back to1908, was damaged inlast year’s processionand, as a result, canno longer be carried.Parishioners

mounted a campaignthis spring to raisethe $2,300 needed topurchase the fiber-glass statue, whichwill only be used inthe procession. Theoriginal statue willcontinue to occupy

its place on the altar of St. Roc-co’s Church.“Parishioners as well as for-

mer parishioners who have re-located as far north as Maineand as far west as California of-ten travel back to participate inthis festival because it is part oftheir heritage,” Pisa said. “Thefestival stands for values offaith and family and these werepassed down to all of us, andwe take the time every year tocelebrate those values at thisfestival.”Besides the procession in

honor of St. Rocco, people whocome to the festival will get thechance to sample homemadeItalian foods, including pizzafritta, porketta, sausage andpeppers, and newly-added vealand peppers and pasta with ei-ther pomodoro or vodka sauce.“There are a lot of reasons to

attend, especially the nice tra-dition of the procession of thesaints,” Cappelloni said. “Wewant people to come and have agood time and come togetherand be united.”

Fr. DavidCappelloni

day in Lackawanna CountyCourt, according to an e-mailmessage from International As-sociation of Fire Fighters Local60 President Dave Gervasi.The main legal argument is

based on council’s 2010 ordi-nances that set minimum staff-ing requirements for both thepolice and fire department. Perthose ordinances, the fire de-partment is to bemaintained at137 employees, and the policedepartment is tobe staffedwith150 workers.

It contends that, despite hisvetoes against the ordinances,Doherty “has an undeniable,clear and ministerial duty tomaintainminimumstaffing lev-els of 137 and 150 in the fire de-partment and police depart-ment.”“Unless mandamus is imme-

diately entered by this Court,Plaintiffs will be left without ameaningful remedy to vindi-cate their statutory interests,and theMayorwill be rewardedfor his blatant and willful viola-tion of his statutory obliga-tions.”The suit asks that the court

“immediately rescind the layoffnotices issued July 29, 2011and

that the City continue to main-tain the minimum compli-ments defined in File of theCouncil No. 57 and File of theCouncil No. 58 until such timeas saidordinancesareamendedor rescinded.”Doherty predicted that his

decision to eliminate eight firefighters and 13 police officerswouldcome toa legal battle in aJuly 29 interview.“I’m sure somebody’s going

to go to court on this, but youhave to pay your bills. You can’tpay people with air,” he saidlast week.“If we go to court, I’m going

to say to the judge, ‘You tell mewhat not to pay.’”

LAWSUITContinued from page 3

“At this point, it’s been spenton general fund expenses,”McGowan said. “To carve thatout could put the city in aneven more precarious posi-tion.”The city has also projected

that it will collect $500,000more in real estate taxes thancouncil projected in its budget,according to McGowan’s Julyrevenue and expenditure fore-cast.

Missed moneyThe city has moved slowly

on ideas for new revenue gen-eration suggested in a March31, 2011 letter from the Penn-sylvania Economy League, thecity’s Financially DistressedMunicipalities Act coordina-tor. “These revenue initiativesinclude increased revenuefrom parking meter enforce-ment, rental ordinance en-forcement, and delinquent realestate tax collection,” PELwrote.McGowan said he isworking

to revise the request for pro-posal for the parking meteragreement, and Doherty saidthat the system is coming.“Since they put it in the bud-

get and the budget is the law, Ibelieve we have an obligationto follow that. If it’s a revenuestream, then it’s a good thing,”the mayor said on July 29.BothDoherty andMcGowan

criticized council’s projectionthat an improved rental regis-tration program would raiseanything more than $30,000.

“I think the best we did was$20-$30,000,” McGowan said.“Now we’re going to do$150,000?”Delays have also hurt a con-

tract with new delinquent taxcollector Northeast RevenueServices. Council struck downa plan to have the city’s law de-partment file blanket lawsuitsfor delinquent tax collectionlast year, and the Scranton Sin-gle Tax Office collected themin 2010.Acontractwith formerdelin-

quent tax collector NortheastCredit & Collections was se-vered in November 2010.In addition, McGowan

hasn’t seen legislation passedin April that allowed 78 park-ing meters surrounding Com-munity Medical Center to be“bagged.” The agreement wasintended to aid staff membersas the hospital renovated anemployee parking garage.CMCwas to pay $156,000 – a

rate of $2,000 per meter inquarterly installments – tocompensate for lost collec-tions. The legislation wasamended by council before fi-nal passage to have thatmoneyplaced into an account to aidpolice and fire instead of theScranton Parking Authority.“We haven’t invoiced them,”

McGowan said.The mayor’s sister, Virginia

McGregor, is vice chair of theboard of trustees at CMC.

Outstanding expensesRecords from the Scranton

Single Tax Office sent to coun-cil dated July 11, 2011, showthat the city’s year-to-date col-lection of real estate, earned in-come, local service and busi-ness privilege taxes as of June

30, 2011, were down$3,087,562.96 from collectionsmade at this time last year.At the same time, the city is

struggling with a $1.56 milliondefaulted loan from PennstarBank after the Scranton Devel-opment Authority purchasedthe city’s delinquent taxesfrom 2004, 2005, and 2005with a line-of-credit loan.The city paid a $5 million

TAN debt obligation due inJune 2011 on March 17, McGo-wan said Friday. His expendi-ture forecast shows $5 millionin interfund transfers was exe-cuted inMarch.McGowan saidFriday that the transfer wasfrom a surplus in the workers’compensation fund.The use of workers’ compen-

sation money to pay the TANnote was approved by thePennsylvania Department ofLabor and Industry, accordingto McGowan.“That probably gave us

enough time to take a betterlook at things,”McGowan said.“We waited six months to seehalf of this budget processthrough and use hard, true da-ta.We didwhatwe had to do tokeep people here and to keeppaying certain expenses.”BothDoherty andMcGowan

have said that, under theHomeRule Charter, it must pay itsbonds and notes.“We’re not allowed to default

on those,” Doherty said lastweek.However, there is no docu-

mentation provided in themayor’s proposed 2011 budgetto account for a late 2010 TaxAnticipation Note payment. A$9.8 million TAN-B note waspaid Jan. 3, 2011 according toan April 19 letter from City

questing information on thepayment states that if the 2010TAN note “shall not be paidwithin the current fiscal year,(it) shall be deemed to be nonelectoral debt of the City.”Likewise, Council’s amended

budget does not reflect any re-lated non electoral debt.“I don’t know if therewas con-

cern or not that it wouldn’t bepaid,” McGowan said Friday.The paymentwasmade days be-fore he became the business ad-ministrator, replacing Stu Ren-da.McGowan’s July expenditure

end revenue estimates total$64,859,895 while expenses to-tal $64,209,881 – a surplus of$650,015.

said that he believes Dohertymisrepresented the city’s fi-nances to council from the be-ginning, which helped tocause the budget deficit lead-ing to these cuts.“Now, I understand the

city’s going to be $6 million inthe hole. It probably will be-…because he’s going to makesure that it is. If somebodywants to sell the parking me-ters for $6 million, he cancome on his white horse andsay, ‘I’m going to sell the park-ing meters (to the ScrantonParking Authority) so youdon’t have a tax increase.’There’s no question he’s goingto pull that,” Sbaraglia said.Bill Jackowitz of the Scran-

ton-Lackawanna County Tax-payers & Citizens Associationfelt that the mayor hadplanned the cuts from the be-ginning to get back at theunions for years of litigationand the deficit was simply hisexcuse to do it.“Honorable Mayor Doherty,

if you really want to do some-thing for the residents ofScranton, get rid of all the at-torneys and unqualified cabi-net members and assistantsthat you have hired. We havefour (Department of PublicWorks) supervisors who wererehired. They should be the

first to go,” Jackowitz said.Former council candidate

Doug Miller was among manywho placed blame solely onthe mayor.“This current financial

nightmare is the result of 10years worth of fiscal misman-agement, the result of $300million of long-term debt,”Miller said.Resident Stephanie Gawel

believes Doherty waited untilcouncil was on recess beforemaking his July 29 announce-ment.“I can’t believe this mayor is

putting us at risk again. I don’tknow why he does this…If hewants to get rid of people, lethim lay off the middle man-agement…Let him take theraises back. He can’t go afterthe police and the firemen. Weneed these men,” Gawel said.Union members also attend-

ed to express their concerns.International Association of

Fire Fighters Local 60 Presi-dent Dave Gervasi believesthe administration “sabo-taged” council’s 2011 budgetby ignoring new revenuestreams and possible savings,adding that the deficit is a fab-ricated threat being used tojustify the cuts.“This is nothing but a cruel

political joke,” Gervasi said.“This administration has beenlying all along.”Nelson Ancherani, record-

ing secretary for Fraternal Or-der of Police E.B. JermynLodge No. 2, read a letter on

behalf of President DetectiveSgt. Bob Martin, who was outof town and could not attendthe meeting.“His actions show a blatant

disregard for the safety andsecurity of the citizens ofScranton and the entire re-gion,” Martin wrote. “Withcrime on the rise, particularlyviolent crimes due to our eco-nomic climate and the ever-in-creasing terror threat sincethe elimination of Osama BinLaden, we need every officerwe can get.”Republican council candi-

date Lee Morgan criticizedthe mayor but added thatblame also lies with thosewho voted for him.“They refuse to come out

and vote…How can the peoplein the city make a change ifthey don’t vote and they don’tget involved? It just can’t hap-pen,” Morgan said.“Unless this council is ready

to stand up and fight using thepowers it’s granted in theHome Rule Charter, thenwe’re just going to keep spin-ning around in a very smallcircle.”During their comments,

council said they are explor-ing all their options to combatthe cuts, which may includelegal action.While regular council meet-

ings are recorded for ElectricCity Television, council wasinformed two hours before themeeting that ECTV could notattend the meeting due to

scheduling conflicts. Whilesome citizens implied thatthis was an attempt by Doher-ty to censor the meeting,ECTV Executive DirectorMark Migliore denied thisclaim when reached for com-ment on Saturday.“That is completely untrue.

SCRANTON – The 31 menand women who enrolledin the first Citizen’s Police

Academy conducted by theScranton Police Department inseveral years were recognizedWednesday as the city held itsNational Night Out celebration.

Thecountrywideevent, now in its 28thyear, is designed to heighten crime anddrug prevention awareness throughblock parties, police demonstrations andmore.

This year, the Scranton observancemoved from Tripp Park to Nay Aug Parkand included displays and demos fromthe city’s Special Operations Group,bomb squad and K-9 unit along with vis-its from the Scranton Police Departmentand Lackawanna Ambulance.

But Police Chief Dan Duffy also usedthe opportunity to recognize the citizens

who felt the need to become better in-formed about and connected with the de-partment itself.

“Tonight, they’re going to graduateand they’re going to carry that sense ofpride to be associated with the police de-partment. I’m thrilled to be able to givethem that feeling. Now, they can act asambassadors of the police department,”he said.

The 12-week program was sponsoredby local Geico insurance offices, and thechief plans to run another set of classes togive officers a way to share their love of

their chosen profession to citizens.The program not only gave an inside

look into the department. Duffy said it alsoresulted in shared information from classmembers “which led to some arrests.

“They are part of the solution, nodoubt,” Duffy said, touting the depart-ment’s message of private-public partner-ship.

Funds raised Wednesday night will goback into the community to help neigh-borhood groups and crime watches fundsimilar events and continue programs intheir respective areas of the city.

SCRANTON – The mem-bers of a South Scrantonvolunteer group recently

recognized by Scranton CityCouncil for their efforts incleaning abandoned and blight-ed areas in their portion of thecity were at it again on Friday.Pat Hinton, 31, started the

Southside Cleanup Crew afteryears of volunteering his timewith various groups in the city.

“It feels great; it really was agreat honor. All of the volun-teers are happy,” Hinton said.“I appreciate that they recog-nized us because, by doing so,it’s going to help brighten oureffort to get more volunteersand word out for what we’redoing.”He began his volunteer

work with Magistrate BobRussell, supervising childrenin a program through his officefor about three years. He thengot involved with the South-side Neighborhood Associ-ation before deciding so starthis own cleanup crew with

close friends and family.“Fifteen years ago the neigh-

borhood was different. Itwasn’t as bad in terms ofblight, abandoned properties,absentee landlords and drugproblems,” said Hinton. “Sowhen you live through that,and see the changes, it motiva-ted me to want to make a dif-

ference in the community.”The group focuses mainly

on South Scranton, but Hintonis trying to get involved withthe East Mountain ResidentsAssociation and help volun-teers in that area.Beginning with close

friends and family, the cleanupcrew has since gained the at-tention of many others and in-creased in size. Althoughthere are many volunteers,they don’t all have to come outon one specific job.“We always have different

er, I do have a ton of gifts for birth-days, anniversaries, babies and more.Yes, I am that kind of shopper that

will buy a birthday gift three monthsin advance if I see a deal.Here are some of the strategies that

I use when buying gifts using dailydeal sites.A great idea for purchasing all types

of gifts is buying them half off. Withthe growth of daily deal sites in thepast year, we now have more optionsto find deals.There are so many daily deal sites

available. How do you decide whichdeals to buy, and where do you findthem?

Recently, The Times-Leader launchedNEPA Daily Deals to offer half-off deals inHazleton, Scranton, the Poconos andWilkes-Barre for restaurants, gym member-ships, sports events, and more. When youpurchase a voucher, it usually is e-mailed toyou within 24 hours and stays in your ac-count until it is used.Generally, you have from three to 12

months to use the voucher, which is usually

just like cash. You print the voucher andbring it with you to the store. This is a greatway to give gifts without breaking the bank.You can sign up for NEPA Daily Deals at

www.nepadailydeals.com.The Times Leader and Go Lackawanna

are both publications of Impressions Media.National deal sites are still probably the

most popular. Groupon.com, which alsooffers some local deals, is the fastest grow-ing daily deals site. In the past, I have got-

ten 50 percent off at the Gap and Old Navy,60 percent off a My Gym year membership,55 percent off of steaks delivered right tomy door and many more deals.The national vouchers usually have a

coupon code that can be used online. Thebest thing about online deals is that you canmake the purchase in any state listed.Other national daily deal sites include:· PlumDistrict.net - Similar to Groupon,

but with less local deals.· EverSave.com - Similar to the sites

listed above is a great start. This way, youwill have access to the most recent deals.It’s a great way to start stocking up for theholidays, since most of them don’t expirefor a year.Purchasing daily deals helped me save a

ton of money.Of course, you shouldn’t be afraid to buy

When fans comeout to seea10Years concert, the band warnsthat they better be ready for a re-al hard rock show.

They plan to deliver on Tues-day, Aug. 9, at Eleanor Rigby’s,603 Scranton/Carbondale High-way, Jermyn, with Digital Sum-mer, The Curse of Sorrow, andlocal favorites Graces Downfall.

The group first gained nationalattention and radio play with thesong “Wasteland” on their 2005major label debut, “The AutumnEffect.” While their continued suc-cess has been sweet, bassist LewisCosby said the bitter aspect cameinto play when they began work ontheir follow-up album, “Division,”released in 2008. The label de-manded softer songs from thegroup that they believed would ap-peal to mainstream audiences, butCosby felt this was disingenuous.

“They want to make you thislarger-than-life pop band, which

we’re not. We’re a rock band in ev-ery true sense of the form of beingwhata rockband is.When it comesto our live shows, if you watched itwith deaf ears, it would look like apunk show,” Cosby described.

“People would come out be-cause they were a fan of ‘Beautiful’or ‘So Long, Good-Bye,’ and theyget there and they’re like, ‘Oh myGod, what the hell is this?’ becausewe’re so not that ballad band.They’re getting shoved around inthe pit and stuff like that.”

Amongstthe news ofseveralbandsbreaking up

or going on “indefinitehiatus” lately, I wasthrilled to see that at leastone group I’m into wasweathering the storm ofthe volatile music industryand, by the sound of it,coming out on top.

Boston metalcore outfitBury Your Dead has seem-ingly come back from thedead to release a new al-bum called “Mosh ‘N Roll”last Tuesday that deliversexactly what the title im-plies.

I was taken by surprise a fewweeks back when I heardabout its impending release, assinger Myke Terry had called itquits in January in a publicstatement that implied that hisdeparture was not completelyhis decision. Remaining bandmembers have since respondedwith implications of their own,but the question of who’s atfault isn’t as interesting as theone that has plagued BYD fanssince Terry joined around 2008– What exactly is this bandsupposed to sound like?

With records like “CoverYour Tracks” and “Beauty andthe Breakdown,” they hadestablished themselves as anEast Coast hardcore act with acatchy metal groove. Thechugging guitars and headbanging hooks, led by MatBruso’s harsh but clear vocals,easily made these guys standout from the pack.

Bruso left in 2007 and wasreplaced by Terry for the next

two albums, which was bothgood and bad depending onhow you like your metal.

While I loved both theirself-titled release and “It’sNothing Personal,” many die-hard fans were disappointed inthe band’s steady change indirection. Melodic vocals andmore notable shredding tookthe place of the constant bar-rage of screaming and chug-ging, and as the latter titlestated, they weren’t apologiz-ing for trying something differ-ent.

Hardcore enthusiasts werenot, well, enthused. If it was aband by any other name, may-be they wouldn’t have cared,but because it was Bury YourDead, certain expectationswere placed on what theycould produce, perhaps unfair-ly. This may have promptedBruso’s return on “Mosh ‘NRoll.”

Whatever the story is behindthe scenes, it’s certainly a tri-umphant return for those onthe other side. I caught theband Aug. 1 in Allentown head-lining the “Over the Limit”tour, and while openers likeBetrayal and For the FallenDreams had the crowd riledup, BYD made Crocodile Rockexplode.

The new album was still aday away from officially beingreleased, and already fans wereshouting along to new trackslike “Slaughterhouse 5” and“Bluebeard,” and by the lastfew songs, kids were literallyclimbing the rafters and hur-ling themselves into the pit.

Between band membersplaying on top of the bar tofans piling on top of each otherlike football players, the

amount of energy in the roomwas chaotic and overpowering,and Bruso seemed over-whelmed by the response as hethanked the crowd throughoutthe show for their dedicationand support.

He said the Allentown showwas the best one they had hadon the entire tour, but I canassume that they were re-ceived just as anxiously else-where as the buzz of theirlatest release lingered.

On Tuesday, it became clearthat they delivered. The recordis a total throwback to theirprevious sound, and as thesheer number of choice wordscan attest, it’s probably theirangriest and most aggressiverecord to date. Opener“Slaughterhouse 5” is classicBYD, kicking the album offwith the line, “I dressed myselffor my own funeral tonight.”The rest is just as bitter andcynical.

“Nothing Is Lost Save Hon-

or” delivers a punishing, fistpumping beat, and “DeadeyeDick” and “Sun Moon Star” arejust as short but similarly bru-tal. “Timequake” is one ofthose great songs to get youthrough a rocky relationshipwhile “Mother Night” and“Jailbird” offer those bitinglyrics BYD fans expect.

Many songs end with achant supported by backupvoices, encouraging audiencesto join in without having toknow all the words. I didn’tfind this album as catchy ordiverse as “Beauty and theBreakdown,” as many review-ers apparently had. The bandseemed to capture more of alive performance feel on thisone, and that’s not a bad thingfor an act that knows how tothrow down at a hardcoreshow.

This is why it’s appropriatethat the title track that actuallyconcludes the album isn’t somuch a song as it is the group

reciting their moniker. Mon-day’s concert ended in muchthe same way, except it wasthe fans doing the cheering.

If you’re looking for thesame raw energy you’ll find ina riotous mosh pit, then thisalbum is probably for you.While many bands avoid genrelabels, this one has created itsown with “Mosh N’ Roll,”possibly answering that ques-tion of how they’re supposedto sound once and for all.

This prompted the band to re-lease their hardest record todate, “Feeding the Wolves,” in2010.

“We felt like we were sheepthatwere prey to thewolves,” hesaid. “This time around, we justweren’t going to let that happen.That’s why we came and ledwith ‘Shoot It Out,’ just so thatpeople would know that that’sreally whowe are so that they’renotmistakenwhen they come toour shows.”

Whilehehad seenmanyotheracts comeandgo throughouthiscareer, the thing that keptCosbyfocused and determined was hislove for his lifelong profession.

“I just had to stand back andhave an out-of-body experience

and realize that I get to playmu-sic for a living. That is what Idreamed about my entire life,and I actually get to do it,” he ex-plained.

“No matter how tired I am ornot in the mood to play a show,that all goes away within twoseconds. Before I even get outthere andhit the first note,whenthe lights go down and you hearthepeople scream, that’s just themost gratifying sound you couldever hear.”

Music was a passion thatstarted forCosby as early as fifth

grade, when he began playingguitar and listened toTheDoorsrecords.

SCRANTON – POSH at theScranton Club will be unveiledon Sunday, Sept. 25, with anevent to benefit the AmericanCancer Society.The new venue is a work in

progress and a recent endeavorby Colonnade owners, JoshuaMast and Paul Blackledge.Mast and Blackledge are busy

adding their personal touch tothe space at 404 N. WashingtonAve., Scranton, in time for Sep-tember’s Victorian FashionShow and Tea, which is spon-soredbyQueenVictoria’sCourt.“We did it here (at The Colon-

nade) last year and Margaret(Messana) raised a lot of moneyfor the cancer society. There, (atPosh) we’ll be able accommo-date up to 300 people and we’revery excited to have the ladiesthrough and to be able to do thisfor Margaret. It’s also great forus because it will be our firstevent there,” said Mast.The projected opening date of

POSH is Oct. 15, 2011.Mast said the new endeavor,

with a name derived from amash-up of his and Blackledge’sfirst names, will have some dis-tinct differences from The Col-onnade.

“It has been a private clubsince itwas built in1905, andweare the first in history to open itup to the public.”The facility will include 14 of-

fices on the third floor, two ban-quets event spaces on the sec-ond floor and a bar/restaurant/lounge thatwill beopendaily forlunch and dinner.“The first floor will be very

colorful—very posh—which isone of the things we’re knownfor: our décor,” Mast said.“You’re not walking into just an-other space but a space that ismore like a New York or metro-politan space.“It’s an evolution of our busi-

ness and our belief in the down-town.”The restaurant is expected to

be reminiscent of an Americanbistro with a menu includingburgers, fish and steaks, andpork chops. “We’re going to bedoing a lot of pre-fixed dinnermenus where you can come inand get your salad, entrée anddessert for $19.95 and have agreat environment and a greatmeal without paying a lot ofmoney,” said Mast.Mast and Blackledge will of-

fer a separate menu in the bar,and afternoon tea will be servedin the loungeonFridays andSat-urdays.

stemmed from there.We started10 Years, ultimately, out of someof those relationships.“We’ve been able tomake a ca-

reer out of this…We’re still ableto be out here three records inand pack places out.”Cosby is looking forward to

returning to northeast Pennsyl-vania, remembering their warmreception opening for BreakingBenjamin at a hometown showafew years before. Now headlin-ing, they plan to bring out someof their earliest songs for die-hard fans that theywouldn’t nor-mally play. As an added incen-tive for locals, Scranton’s ownGracesDownfallwill beopeningthe show.Just as 10 Years began by

handing out demoCDs to bandslike the Deftones, Staind, andSevendust when they playednear their hometown of Knox-ville, Tenn., ultimately touringwithmany of these groups, Cos-by knows fromhis own personalexperience how important thatearly exposure can be.“Everybody’s got to start

The comedy envelope has beenpushed, pulled, twisted and tornduring this current run of smash

hit R-rated sex comedies. But “TheChange-Up,” the punctuation at the endof the summer of “Bridesmaids,” “BadTeacher” and “Friends With Benefits,”dares to ask and answer the questionthat’s been out there since “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” and “Wedding Crashers”kicked off the craze:

How far is too far, and when does amus-ingly raunchy justseem coarse?

I’d say any time you’ve filmeda script with the phrase “projec-tile pooping” you’ve arrived atcrass. Baby diapering scenes?Sure. Let’s turn them bottom’sup and see — in close, anatom-ical detail — what pops out. Andadults leave little to the bath-room imagination either in thiscute and crude romp throughthe merits of married life as op-posed to single life, and vice ver-sa.

“Change-Up” is an adult varia-tion on the old body-switch idea,a “Freaky Friday” with a dose ofthe freaky deaky. Jason Batemanis Dave, a nose-to-the-grind-stone lawyerwhose mar-riage has

become a series of “your turn”diaper changes (three kids, twininfants among them) and drivesto and from school and after-school activities. He’s marriedto Jamie, played by the vulner-able yet hilariously brassy andbossy Leslie Mann.

Somehow Dave has stayedfriends with his polar oppo-

site. Mitch (Ryan Rey-

nolds, channeling his “Van Wil-der” past) is a slacker, a potheadactor and womanizer, irrespon-sible in the extreme and given toshouting inappropriate profani-ty at Dave’s tiny kids and intoDave’s speaker phone at the of-fice.

A night of drinking leadsthem to a shared moment at theurinal — in this case, an ornatefountain in one of Atlanta’sparks. They kvetch. They com-plain. Next thing you know,they’ve said “I wish I had yourlife,” and they’ve switched bod-ies.

Audacious, violentand disquieting,“Rise of the Plan-

et of the Apes” is a sum-mer sequel that’s betterthan it has any right to be.This movie about howapes rise up against thehumans who would trapthem, cage them and usethem in medical experi-ments is a stunning job ofback-engineering the fa-miliar “Planet of theApes” story and anotherleap forward in perform-ance-capture animation.

As alarming and sometimesbloody as it is, “Rise” doesn’t re-quire a “Noapeswereharmed in themaking of this movie” credit.They’re all digital, a performance-capture cast led by Andy Serkis(Gollum in “Lord of the Rings”).

“Rise” tells the story of Caesar,the son of a smart chimpanzeemade even smarter by a viral serumgiven to him by a scientist, Dr. WillRodman (James Franco) in pursuitof a cure for his father’s (John Lith-gow) Alzheimer’s disease. Whenthe corporate boss (David Oyelo-wo) decides the current test-crop ofapes is “contaminated” and must be“put down,” Will takes Caesarhome and raises him as one of thefamily. Dad gives him the nameCaesar. And when Caesar’s intelli-gence shows, Will gives Dad thedrug and seemingly cures his de-generative brain disease.

Early scenesofCaesargamboling

through the rafters of their big, oldSan Francisco two-story are remi-niscent of Disney’s animated “Tar-zan,” long swooping takes of thechimp swinging, clambering, leap-ing and frolicking. When Willmeets a cute and sympathetic zoovet (Freida Pinto) they even takeCaesar to the Muir Woods park toclimb the redwoods. But Caesar isstill wild, impulsive and sometimesviolent, prone to escape and annoythe neighbors. And the vet has aword of warning: “I love chimpan-zees. I’m also afraid of them. It’s ap-

propriate to be afraid of them.”Serkis gives Caesar a cautious

physicality and a wary hoodedstare. And the animators capturethe glint of intelligence in his eyes.The film’s first electric moment is aglance between doctor and ape asthe now-adult Caesar sees and un-derstands, the instant Will does,that his father is regressing back in-to Alzheimer’s.

Director Rupert Wyatt stages thefilm’s second half — Caesar’s im-prisonment in a “primate shelter”— with prison-movie verve, lettingus imagine how he will establishhimself in his cell block and how hemight stage his coup de chimp.

“Rise of the Planet of the Apes” isclever enough to summon memo-ries of Pierre Boulle’s Vietnam-erasci-fi novel and make you ponder itas moral and racial parable. And it’sbrilliantly executed, rendering pre-vious versions forgettable.

trips to the toilet—while fitful-ly amusing — are here simplyfor the shock value. This over-long and overly obvious moviehas little flow to it, no comicmo-mentum to take us to the endingwe see coming pretty muchright at the beginning.Yes, it’s a body-switch comedy

where each character “learns”about himself and the otherguy’s life and is the better for it.The trouble with “The Change-Up” is that it doesn’t change upenough of the formula to renderthis new.

“Christy Mathewson Days,”will be shown as a final productduring this year’s event. Thescreening is set for Friday, Aug.12, at 8 p.m., inside Keystone’sTheatre at Brooks. ChristyMathewsonDays events contin-ues through Satur-day.Wells, a 2004

Lackawanna Trailgraduate whoearned a bachelor’sdegree in broad-cast journalismfrom Temple in2008, said a pre-liminary screeningfor the film washeld last year. Sheadmitted that thescreening was a bitnerve wracking.“I’m from there, and I’m

showing the community whatthey look like to outsiders. Thatwas a hugedeal forme and Iwasvery nervous, but it went overswimmingly,” she said.“They were surprised that it

was a story. For them, it’s justlife.”Those who attended last

year’s screening are encouragedto take time to view the filmagain. Since last August, thedocumentary has been scoredfollowing a fundraising efforton the crowd funding website,

www.kickstarter.com. MaloneandWells raised $2,800 to pay amusician to score the film.“Themusic is perfect for it. It

has references to the town andlandmarks, so I think peoplewill really enjoy it,” Wells said.The documentary is told

through interviews and in-cludes no narration. Wells andMalone spoke with area fam-ilies, but three figures - Keys-

tone College Presi-dent Ned Boehm,Jr.; Ed Nowakow-ski, a man Wellsdescribed as the“ambassador ofFactoryville”; andLiz Ratchford, di-rector of communi-ty development forFactoryville bor-ough and ClintonTownship – aremost prominentlyfeatured.

What struck Wells most dur-ing the creation of the docu-mentary was Mathewson’s con-tinued presence in Factoryville.“Christy Mathewson is still a

resident of the town, obviouslynot physically, but he’s alwaysthere.He’s everywhere -murals,posters and flags - and he stillvery much has an influence onthe town.”Wells said 23circles hopes to

submit the film to festivals inPhiladelphia and the GreatLakes region, along with a fes-tival at the Baseball Hall ofFame.

SCRAN-TON –Wayne Se-bastianelli’scareer in

athletics seemed to becoming to a close with anend of his days as a footballlineman at the Universityof Rochester.

As Sebastianelli movedon to medical school, heclung to the connectionshe had made betweensports and medicine as aninjured athlete.

The former Valley Viewfootball and baseball playerremained in athletics, mak-ing a career in sports med-icine, a field that barelyexisted in his days as astudent.

Sebastianelli, an orthopedicsurgeon, serves as director ofathletic medicine and teamphysician for Penn State Uni-versity.

“They weren’t even in exist-ence,” Sebastianelli said of hisrole as team physician. “I thinkit started as I was goingthrough my residency. I had aperson, Dr. Ken DeHaven, whowas one of my mentors atRochester.

“He was in sports medicine. Iplayed college ball and got toknow him through some of myinjuries.”

Sebastianelli’s work withDeHaven put him on a pathtoward his current positionwhere his years at Penn Statehave placed him among themost respected in his field.

Although he is a surgeon,Sebastianelli’s work extendsinto many other areas. Heconcentrates on trying to pre-vent injury and react to poten-

tial emergencies as well as onsurgically repairing damagethat has been done on the play-ing field.

Sebastianelli also serves therole of educator in many facets.He is a professor at Penn State.He works with coaches ondeveloping training techniquesdesigned to reduce injuries. Hejoined Dr. Michael (Micky)Collins, a consultant for thePittsburgh Steelers and Pen-guins, July 28 for the first semi-nar at Commonwealth MedicalCollege in Scranton.

At the seminar, Sebastianelliand Collins addressed concus-sion issues for an audience ofnearly 100, made up primarilyof medical professionals.

Part of dealing with concus-sions is properly protecting anathlete from the potential ofmore serious injury from re-turning to action too soon. It is

one of the many times thatSebastianelli’s job requires himto balance the aspirations ofcoaches and athletes with safe-ty issues. His background as anathlete is often beneficial dur-ing those times.

“It definitely helps you relateto people better,” Sebastianellisaid. “It gives you an idea ofwhat it means to compete.

“It’s an asset, but it’s not anabsolute necessity.”

Sebastianelli has been study-ing and researching ways toprotect and rehabilitate com-petitive athletes since soonafter the time he stopped beingone himself.

“When I became a medicalstudent, I sought (DeHaven)out and started to spend timeon the sidelines and in trainingrooms trying to learn,” Sebas-tianelli said. “I tried to breakthings down fundamentally as

far as injury mechanisms andtreatment plans.

“Sports medicine is reallytrying to take all of the stuffyou deal with as a general or-thopedic surgeon and translateit into what the individual istrying to perform, whether it’sfield hockey, football or tryingto climb a ladder to hang alight bulb.

“If you want to treat theperson well within their specif-ic job, you should really knowwhat their job entails, whetherit’s an athletic job or an indus-trial job.”

The sports medicine indus-try has grown since the timewhen Sebastianelli first chosethat career path.

Adam Taliaferro has creditedSebastianelli with saving hislife for his quick actions in themoments after the Penn Statefootball player suffered a poten-

tially catastrophic spinal cordinjury in a 2000 game.

During his recent visit toLackawanna County, Sebastia-nelli offered his insights to helpprepare doctors, trainers, ther-apists and students to make theproper decisions when they arefaced with what can be a seri-ous injury situation.

“We all need to be on thesame game plan,” Sebastianellisaid of doctors, trainers andcoaches dealing with concus-sions and other injuries. “We allhave to decide how it is goingto happen before it happens.”

Sebastianelli has become amaster in developing a gameplan – and the cooperationbetween medical professionals,coaches and athletes – that canbe vital to a successful outcomewhen the violence that is some-times part of a game serves tomake sports a serious business.

FORESTCITY–DaveShollock grabbedthe piece of paper

with abig “8” scribbledon itin marker as the final sec-onds ticked down Wednes-day night while his Goldteam held on for a 62-61vic-tory over the Purple in theAlumni Basketball Gamethat was added to OldHome Week in Forest City.Itwas time for somequick

editing.

Officially, the Forest City Re-gional High School gymnasiumalready had been named afterJulius Prezelski, but 18 years af-ter Prezelski had retired as thewinningest boys’ basketballcoach in Pennsylvania history,that fact was hard to determinefor an outsider. Prior to the startof the Alumni Game, coverswere removed from each side ofthe court, revealing “Julius J.Prezelski Gymnasium” printedon the floor with the number757 in quotes below it for thenumber ofwins in Prezelski’s ca-reer.When the Gold, coached by

Prezelski, held on for the latestunofficial win, Shollock jokinglyadded a new touch to the typeright in front of the seat that Pre-zelski occupied for decades,temporarilymaking the number758.Many of the top players who

made Prezelski’s program onethe best among small schools innortheastern Pennsylvania foryears turned out to take part inthe game.“It’s important to build on tra-

dition,” new superintendentand former ScrantonPrep coachJohn Kopicki said during pre-game ceremonies.New coach Billy Jones sought

to emphasize some of that tradi-tion while bolstering interest inthe program. Forest City strug-gled to 2-12 records inDivision 3of the Lackawanna League eachof the past two seasons.Most of the players who re-

turned for the game, whichserved as a fundraiser for thebasketball program and OldHome Week, were part of farmore successful teams. Thecoach who made it possiblespent the time leading up to thegame sharing memories of theold days and talking about howthe game still can and should betaught.Jason Maile and Paul Prezel-

ski, the coach’s son, rank 1-2 inschool history in scoring with2,473 and 2,113 points. Bothwere on the Gold team.Maile was the Associated

Press Small School State Playerof the Year in 1992, a year afterhis coach was named SmallSchool Coach of the Year. Mailewent on to play at theUniversityof Pittsburghwhere his 40-pointeffort in the Big East Tourna-ment, included a school recordeight 3-pointers.After his college career, Maile

played professionally in theCBA as well as in Spain, Italyand Germany.Five years after his last profes-

sional game in Italy, Maile re-turned to put on a show in hisold gym.Maile’s game-high 20 points

included six 3-pointers. Two ofthe3-pointerscame in the firstthree minutes and the last cameon a fall-away shot from theright wing with 38 seconds leftfor the winning shot.“This was a lot of fun,” said

Maile, a financial advisor in Phi-ladelphia. “I enjoyed comingback.“Coach was here. I’m still

friendswith a lot of the guys, theyounger players that I used toplay against when I’d come backfrom playing overseas.”Aaron Trusky scored 13

points for the Gold and helpedpreserve the win by blockingone shot and contesting anotherin the last five secondsJoey Franceski added 10

points for the Gold while KevinMcGraw had eight, includingfour in the closing 8-1 run towipe out a late six-point deficit.Ryan Ogozaly, who joined

Maile as the game’s Most Valua-ble Players, led the Purple with14 points. Jesse Walsh added 10points.

PLAINSTOWNSHIP –ByranTrischetta knows ve-rywell themeaningof “BlackFriday” in thepokercontext.

It was Friday, April 15when theDepartment of Justiceshut down online poker in the United States, ending ahobby for millions and taking away a profession for amuch smaller group of players.Trischetta, from Scranton, spent two years as a “fully-

backed online pro,” using poker as a means to make aliving.

The loss of online pokerforced Trischetta out of hishome and into the MoheganSun at Pocono Downs casinoroom to try to repeat his pastsuccess. It has not always beeneasy.“It’s a numbers game,” Tris-

chetta said of the multiple-ta-ble approach to the faster-paced game online that allowswinning players to ride out un-lucky stretches and make themost of profitable situationsthrough volume. “The moreyou play, the better you do.”Trischetta came up with his

biggest prize since turning tothe nearest live poker room forregular tournament actionwhen he took advantage of thebiggest tournament in Mohe-gan Sun at Pocono Downs his-tory July 30 to win a $3,176prize with a sixth-place finish.“Until Black Friday, I came

here to get away,” Trischettasaid. “Now, I’m coming all thetime, primarily to play thetournaments.”Trischetta is still searching

for the consistent results hesaid heproducedonline, but hehas come through in the big-gest events.The Scranton resident is the

onlyplayer to cash inat threeofthe four biggest events Mohe-gan Sun at Pocono Downs hashosted since Black Friday.Trischetta made the final ta-

ble each time. He placed sev-enth out of 119 in April for$1,154 and ninth out of 102 in

May for $618 in the $285 buy-inevents that were the biggest inthe room until July 30.WhenMoheganSun at Poco-

no Downs hosted its first $555buy-in tournament, Trischettawas one of three LackawannaCounty players to cash by plac-ing in the top 15.Bennett Winters of Moosic

was seventh for $2,561 andMike Horrocks of Clarks Sum-mit was 15th for $1,271.Trischettawasoften situated

in or near third place in totalchip counts while the final 20players in the field were weed-ed out.The bold style that he

brought with him from his ex-tensive Internet play oftenpaidoff. As the blinds rose to $8,000and $16,000 with antes of$2,000 in tournament chips,Trischettamadeone lastmove.Action folded around toTris-

chetta, who pushed all-in fromthe small blind with 9-3 only tobe knocked out when AnthonyCasagrande called from the bigblind with Ace-10.“I had less than eight small

blinds left,” said Trischetta,who was hoping to get a foldthatwouldhave allowedhim tocollect the antes and big blind.Winters was knocked out

minutes earlier when his Ace-5suited, pre-flop, all-in ran intoJohn Mangini’s pocket Aces.Winters cameup just shortof

his biggest payday ever, whichhe earned in the largest non-Main Event in World Series of

Poker history. Winters made itall the way through a 6,012-player field in a $1,000 buy-inWorld Series of Poker event in2009 to finish 346th for $2,651.Like more than half of the

field,Horrocksmade it into thetournament by winning a spotby finishing in the top 10 per-cent of a $60 satellite tourna-ment. He used the opportunityto earn cash in a casino tourna-ment for the first time ever af-ter “about 10” previous at-tempts.Horrocks broke into the

money after 41minutes of playwith the field stuck at 16 play-ers cautiously trying to avoidbeing eliminated on the bub-ble.In all, the biggest tourna-

ment in the room’s historyneeded a record 11 hours to re-ach a conclusion and wouldhave gone longer if not for thefinal four players reaching anagreement to “chop” the re-maining prize money.David Manzi of Pocono

Pines, who was part of an evenfour-way chop to end the June$285 event, was the clear chip

LONG POND – Few drivershave been able to dominate atPocono Raceway like DennyHamlin.

Yet the driver of the Joe GibbsRacing No. 11 Toyota believesthe track still owes him some-thing.

And he might be right afterthe last time the NASCARSprint Cup Series raced at the2.5-mile tri-oval.

Hamlin’s 19th-place finish inJune’s 5-Hour Energy 500 wasarguably the most misleadingfinish among all the drivers.Now, he looks to make amendsonSundayduring theGoodSamRV Insurance 500.

He was 39th quickest in Fri-day’s first practice, which setsthe qualifying order, and was setto be one of the first to hit thetrack Saturday for qualifying.

“Honestly, we feel like weshould have won twice as manyraces as we have,” Hamlin said.“It’s every time we go there,we’re in position to win the race

just about every time.”Like in June when Hamlin

was on the way to another dom-inating performance at Pocono.

The early part of the racelooked as if it would be as im-pressive as Hamlin’s July 2006victory where he led151laps. Hewas out front for 76 of the first101 laps before troubles on pitroad ruined his day.

First, Hamlin lost about 10seconds on pit road to Juan

Montoya during green-flagstops. Later, he had a flat tirecoming off pit road. The tirewrapped around the housingand snapped the brake lines.

“It was just a slew of problemsthere at the end,” Hamlin said atthe time.

Hamlin has rarely found thosetroubles at Pocono. His four ca-reer victories are second only toJeff Gordon’s five among activefulltime drivers. Gordon won in

June, but it took him 37 races atPocono to get his fifth; Hamlinhas won four in just 11 races.

Hamlin is also second amongfulltime drivers in laps led at Po-cono with 574. Gordon leads allwith 957, but it took him overthree times more races here.

And no active driver can topHamlin’s average starting posi-tion (5.9) and finishing position(9.2) at Pocono.

“It’s just one of those race-tracks I have a really, really goodfeel for,” Hamlin said. “There’snot too many tracks where youfeel when you pull in you justcan’t do no wrong. (Pocono) isone of those places.”

Hamlin hopes to repeat previous success at Pocono
