More than 200 participate in Lukasiewicz memorial 5K
By ROGER DuPUIS II rdupuis@golackawanna.com
Matt Williams kinda knew Gary Lukasiewicz. They had played basketball together, and Williams remembered seeing Gary around from Gary time to time. Lukasiewicz That was enough for the 2011Riverside High School graduate -- sporting a bright blue cast thanks to a recently-dislocat-
ed left thumb -- to return to campus on a rainy Saturday morning for a 5K event memorializing Gary, a senior who died May 19 after a two-year battle with cancer. It was important to come, said Williams,19, now a student at Wilkes University who took home a first place trophy for being the first male walker to cross the finish line at the Oct. 6 event. Williams was among more than 200 people who turned out to run, walk and bike the course in Garys memory whether they knew him well, in passing or barely at all.
That outpouring of support came as no surprise to the Riverside teachers and administrators who donned bright yellow commemorative T-shirts bearing Garys name perhaps least to his mother, Cheryl Lukasiewicz. No, not at all, Mrs. Lukasiewicz said resolutely as she helped fold T-shirts in the high school entranceway. But she did think her son would have reacted to the event with the same gentle humility with which he greeted public displays of support during his long illness.
Sometimes he said, What are they doing that for? Mrs. Lukasiewicz tearfully recalled. First diagnosed before starting his junior year at Riverside, Gary initially fought off the cancer, but it returned. Suited up in a white tuxedo, Gary attended his senior prom last spring, crowned king the night before he died. His battle inspired thousands, if not millions of supporters. Some attended church vigils while others channeled their hopes into a threeword Internet prayer: #keepfightinggary, a Twitter hashtag con-
ceived by two Riverside graduates that echoed across the Internet in the weeks before Gary died. Four months later, Gary is still being remembered in prayer services each Sunday night at Divine Mercy Parish on Davis Street, where he was an altar server and an usher. With funding from the many donations they received, his family has donated a statue of St. John the Baptist for the church grounds.

Leslie LaCava, vice-president of Taylor Community Library Board of Directors, shows off some of the gift baskets to be raffled during the Oct. 13 fall fundraiser.
Several other raffle items, including an American Girl doll and Keurig coffee maker, are on display behind the librarys main desk.
Its one of those wet, grey fall mornings that signals summers sure demise. The Taylor Community Library isnt merely dry, quiet and welcoming on this damp day, but also just the tiniest bit sparkly. We even have a gluten-free basket, board Vice-President Leslie LaCava observes cheerfully as she moves gracefully among the rows of translucent cellophane, glinting beneath the cool fluorescent lights. Arrayed neatly along the ranks of chest-high bookshelves, nearly 100 gift baskets filled with treats and household items stand wrapped in shiny plastic, ready to be raffled off next Saturday, Oct. 13 as part of the librarys annual fall fundraiser. Its an event that promises fun and festivities, with the gift basket raffle supplemented by lunch, a bake sale and childrens activities. Its also a sign of dramatically reduced government support in tough economic times. Library Director Jeanie Sluck said the facility has to cover a $15,000 deficit for the year, with the fall event its biggest single fundraiser, designed to generate between $3,500 and $4,000. At the time I joined the board, fundraising wasnt an issue at all, said LaCava, who has been a member of the panel for about 14 years. I think were going to be doing this for a while, she said of fundraising efforts. Even if things begin to get better, its going to take a while to trickle down to the level of community needs. Taylor is hardly alone. Libraries across the state have been reeling from the effects of funding cuts imposed by Harrisburg in recent years. Significant reductions in financial support to libraries and other cultural institutions began under the administration of former Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell, who was succeeded by Republican Gov. Tom Corbett in 2011. The first year was the hardest, Sluck said, recalling a withering 33 percent cut. Faced with that sobering reality, she and the board established a clear hierarchy in budgeting. Better to cut a program before a book, and a book before a person, Sluck said. Amid tough economic times the library continues to be a well patronized community institution, and its value to families in good times and bad is a subject
LaCava understands as well as anyone. At the time I joined the board, I had three young children and was homeschooling them, she said. It was just a great asset and support for us. We didnt have to go out and buy every book. Sluck has watched the librarys popularity grow over her 32-year career. She is a wealth of information about the institution which, she says without the slightest hesitation, dates back to March 17, 1953. She joined on May 15, 1980, when it was operating out of a Main Street storefront and circulated 936 items that year. Today its housed in a spacious modern building opened in 2006, and circulation is up to 89,000 items per year, Sluck said. In addition to being a resource for students, the 1,400-square-foot structure also is a place where residents can read and relax or access the Internet. I feel that this facility has benefited the community, and I think they have responded well to it, LaCava added of the new building. Its more family friendly, and just more comfortable. Popular support also can be measured in terms of items contributed for the fall festival, which began several years ago as a craft fair at the adjacent community center. Now, its held at the library and the items to be raffled are donated by businesses, residents and board members. In addition to this years haul of goodie-filled baskets, there are gift cards and gently used purses that will be for sale. Raffle tickets for most baskets are 25 cents each or five for $1. According to the librarys website, tickets for other prizes such as a Keurig Coffee System, mystery prize and money tree are $1 each. The newest release in the popular American Girl doll series will be raffled off in December with tickets available for $1 each. It really is a community event, LaCava said, and there are a lot of people who are interested in helping us to recover, to stay above water.

A REASON TO RUN
By DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@golackawanna.com
Earlier last week, Lackawanna County Commissioner Patrick OMalley was getting ready for a familiar car ride to Forest City High School that he takes every year, but it wasnt the ride up that was on his mind, it was the run back. OMalley was scheduled to take part in the 17th annual Steamtown Marathon, which began at 8 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 7 at Forest City High School, with runners expected to begin crossing the finish line at the corner of North Washington Avenue and Spruce Street in Scranton starting at 10:15 a.m. The commissioner is one of 13 runners who have participated in the marathon every year since its inception, and while hes completed the race every year, he decided to give himself an extra incentive to finish it this year. I decided I was going to do it for my sister Margie, Margie Holodnak-Davis, she was a victim of domestic violence, said OMalley whose sister Margie was killed by her estranged husband on June 9, 1980. She was 16 when I was born. Im the baby of six. so automatically my mother made her my godmother. She died when I was 11 years old, when she was 26, and it was horrible. It was like losing your mother. Weve been involved with the Womens Resource Center ever since. The Womens Resource Center (WRC) is a private nonprofit organization founded in 1976, which serves survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in Lackawanna and Susquehanna Counties in Northeastern Pennsylvania. OMalley, his brother, Matt, and sister, Mary Theresa OMalley Ruddy, all raise money for the center. During the first year of the Steamtown Marathon in 1996, OMalley ran in the name of his sister and also raised money for the Womens Resource Center. It was called 26 miles for Margie, and it was nice, because it was a real bizarre situation, because it was the 26th anniversary of her death, she was 26 (at the time of her death) and it was 1996, said OMalley.
Mold forces board to relocate students

A young Patrick OMalley is seen with his sister, Margie Holodnak-Davis. Margie was a victim of domestic violence and killed by her estranged husband on June 9, 1980. OMalley is running the 17th annual Steamtown Marathon in her memory.
Since that first year, OMalley has run the marathon for different causes, wearing a T-shirt representing the charity or cause during the race, but he has never tried to raise funds again until this year. With all the cutbacks and everything like that, the Womens Resource Center could use any kind of money thats available, said OMalley. OMalley just started fundraising a few weeks ago, with friends helping him bring sign up sheets around the area to those who are interested in pledging funds, which OMalley said he would only collect if he finished the marathon. And, while completing the 26mile run is something hes done 16 times before, he said nothing is a guarantee. Its 26 miles. Anything can happen in 26 miles, said OMalley. Your back hurts, your knees hurt, you feel dizzy. Theres a lot

of things that go on in a marathon. You might feel great for two miles, and then the next 10 you feel like crap. Its a different type of a circumstance. Its a long race. A long race that requires a lot of preparation, thankfully this year, OMalley said his son, Patrick OMalley II, who recently became interested in running, was there to join him in his training. OMalley started training in July, and is running on average five days a week. While preparing for the marathon is a lot of hard work, he said it will all be worth it if it means raising some extra funds for the Womens Resource

SCRANTON -- The Scranton School Board voted to move students from William Prescott Elementary School to Nativity School on Hemlock Street, during a special meeting on Monday, Oct. 1, held in the Immaculate Conception Church, while the district deals with a mold issue at Prescott. The students are tentatively scheduled to make the switch on Monday, Oct. 29, pending the results of an air quality test at Nativity. Superintendent William King said the district considered a few other locations, including the former Bishop Hannon High School, but ultimately felt Nativity was the best option. Nativity, I hadnt been there in years, it was very nice, said Prescott Principal Albert ODonnell who toured the building along with King. From talking to parents, they understand if we have to leave, we have to leave, and I assured them how nice this building is. The idea of the students switching schools seemed unavoidable after the results of an air quality test, conducted by Guzek Associates at the request of the district in September. The test was done for the purpose of identifying mold that created a six-inch long stain on the interior surface of the outside wall in the basement of the schools multi-purpose room. The districts maintenance staff discovered the mold on Thursday, Sept. 13, Guzek Associates were contacted the next day, and the group conducted an air quality test on Sunday, Sept. 16. A second round of testing was conducted on Sunday, Sept. 23. According to a Sept. 27 report, Guzek Associates now knows mold continues to exist, trapped behind the surfaces of the exterior wall of the school. Settlement of the side-
walk and ground surfaces along the facilitys perimeter infiltration caused the growth. Guzek Associates recommended removal of the moldcontaminated materials, including the interior surfaces of the two exterior walls in the multi-purpose room; adding berming and impervious pavement to cause stormwater to run away from the facility; after removal and cleanup activities have been completed, verify acceptance through clearance tests using appropriate techniques, air, surface wipes and bulk sampling; and once lab reports indicate clearance, release other contractors to commence renovation work on the interior wall finishers to restore this area for routine use. Because Guzek Associates said it is not possible to prevent any and all migration of dusts and mold spores from a basement construction zone to the upper levels of a school, the group recommended that the work be done while the building is unoccupied. While this should fix the problem, and keep the school safe for children in the long run, many parents in attendance on Monday night were worried about what the mold meant for their children, who still have to attend classes at the school for the next few weeks. Rebecca Stewart, a mother of a student at the school who is asthmatic, said her son has already missed four days of school this year. Several other parents who spoke on Monday said their children have also already missed more days this year than they have in previous years and questioned if the mold could be a cause. Joseph Guzek, of Guzek Associates, was on hand and addressed the question, explaining that each child could react to the mold differently and parents should use their best judgment.

Parents also criticized the district and the administration for not moving more quickly on the matter. A report was filed by Guzek Associates in March calling attention to several water-damaged ceiling tiles that appeared to have microbial growth on them. The board was not made aware of this report until September. Members of the board and the district said that a lack of communication led to the matter not being taken care of in March and apologized profusely to those in attendance for not taking care of the problem sooner. I personally just like to apologize, honestly, from the bottom of my heart to this community, said board member Bill Fox. I wish we knew about this sooner, and being a part of this school board, Ill take blame for not knowing and acting on this quicker and finding out about it quickerIm very sorry. Board members also assured those in attendance that measures will be taken to prevent something like this from happening again. Moving forward, this will not happen again, this will not happen again, said school board President Bob Lesh. Due to the special meeting going longer than expected, the work session scheduled to take place afterwards was rescheduled. It will take place prior to the boards monthly meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 9. The work session will begin at 6 p.m. in Scranton High Schools auditorium.
Cleaning up West Scranton

By LINDSAY ROTH For Go Lackawanna
Nearly 30 volunteers came out in celebration of National Public Lands Day in Scranton on Saturday, Sept. 29 to help with the Lackawanna Heritage Valley National and State Heritage Area (LHVA) hosted clean-up event along the Scranton section of the Lackawanna River Heritage Trail. The brisk, overcast morning didnt stop eager volunteers from rolling up their sleeves in an effort to deter vandalism. The clean up was centered around covering up vandalism under the bridges and along the trail that leads from the 7th Avenue Trailhead, adjacent to LHVAs new headquarters, toward Scranton High School. At 9 a.m., volunteers gathered to collect paint, brushes, rollers, and other supplies, all provided by LHVA. Almost all of our volunteers are returning volunteers, said Owen Worozbyt, LHVA volunteer coordinator. Im always pleased with the number of volunteers that come to help out. The clean up was mainly concerned with covering recent spray paint vandalism, in hopes of deterring troublemakers from continuing to deface these public lands. We want people to continue to use and enjoy the trail, said Worozbyt, not be discouraged by graffiti. Volunteers are hoping that LHVAs efforts sent out a positive message that vandalism wont be tolerated. Volunteers said they will continue to paint over the vulgarities. Its sad that this keeps happening, said

We want to start a patrol program so we can learn about vandalism as it happens and clean it up as soon as we can, said Worozbyt. We want to encourage service.

Wrestling with a diaper dilemma

According to The Diaper Dilemma, a film by NordOuest Documentaires, every child goes through an estimated 6,000 diapers before achieving the ultimate goal: the potty. Before reaching that never-ending light at the end of the tunnel, parents spend an average $75 a month on diapers, which totals around $900 a year on disposable diapers. The panic button went off this week for all expecting parents and parents of toddlers after the news broke of an explosion at a Japanese chemical plant, which produces about 10 percent of the world supply of acrylic acid, a resin substance in diapers. News reports estimate this may cause a rise in the price of diapers causing diapers to possibly reach the price of $75 per box in the next few months. What is known as the Diaper Dilemma, now poses the question: will caregivers make the switch to cloth diapers or break the bank to buy disposable diapers? I personally have thought about the possibility of switching to cloth diapers, but am hesitant to make the switch. Is it the convenience of disposable diapers, or the price after coupons that keeps me filling up the landfills? Cloth diapers are not cheap either. After much research, the average cloth diaper costs around $20 and kits average around $300 with six cloth diapers included. I am not sure how many days six cloth diapers will get you before having to reach back into the wallet to purchase more sets. Cloth diapers can be purchased on Amazon.com, Ecomom.com, Fuzzibunz.com and even

Once the three month trial is over, Amazon Mom members will receive a special offer to join Amazon Prime. The Diaper Dilemma will probably cause all parents to evaluate their diaper budget, but I am not sure how many people will actually make the switch. I can honestly say that if I see prices starting to rise, there is no way that coupons or online deals can put a dent in a $75 box of diapers. At that time, the dilemma will be resolved.

Plow & Hearth opened its 20th retail store recently at the Shoppes at Montage.
Plow & Hearth sets up shop

By ANDREW SEDER For Go Lackawanna
Plow & Hearth has mailed catalogs nationwide for three decades, but the company based in Madison, Va., found the strongest response came from customers in the MidAtlantic region. So when it came time to open retail outlets, Plow & Hearth concentrated them in that region with stores in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina. The companys 20th retail store opened recently at the Shoppes at Montage and will host an official grand opening event through Monday, Oct. 8 with sales, product sampling and drawings for gift certificates. Paul Abugattaf, the companys director of retail sales, said the stores are a natural extension of the companys growth. While catalog and Internet sales are still the largest part of the business, the company sees the retail stores as a great customer acquisition tool for us. He said stores introduce people to the company who might then order from the catalog or online store, though he notes there are more items carried in the store than are in the catalog. With three stores already opened in Pennsylvania -- two in the Lehigh Valley area and

one in Harrisburg -- the company sought a location in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The Shoppes at Montage, Abugattaf said, was an instant hit as soon as company officials visited. That center certainly resonated with us, he said of the complex that is now home to the 5,000-square-foot store. He said the location between Scranton and WilkesBarre with easy access to I-81 was a factor but the energy and complementary brands nearby also played a huge role. There are other types of stores our customers would also frequent, Abugattaf said, mentioning Eddie Bauer

OFHS seniors work to prevent bullying

For their senior project, Old Forge High School seniors Brian Finnerty, Derek Drasba, John Vols and David Rudalavage have teamed up with Old Forge Elementary School student Nathan Cieslak. This summer, Cieslak, a 10year-old, fifth grade student, started selling T-shirts featuring a logo of his own design, and the slogan Only You Can Prevent Bullying. Cieslaks goal was for the shirts, priced at $12, to create a greater awareness of the problem of bullying. The seniors wanted to focus on this cause as well, feeling that no matter what age or grade, everyone at one time or another has been bullied or has witnessed bullying. The four seniors have planned several events and presentations for Wednesday, Oct. 10, Unity Day at Old Forge High School, and the high school students will be wearing Cieslaks T-shirt.

Committee hopes to create a stronger district

By TIM TYMON For Go Lackawanna
OLD FORGE- Community leaders cited a more complete culture of education as the top priority for the Old Forge School District at the inaugural Comprehensive Strategic Planning Committee on Thursday night, Oct. 4. The committee, which was formed by Superintendent R. Scott Jeffery, was established to address growing concerns within the school district. The committee is composed of school board members, administrators, local businesspersons and parents of enrolled and prospective students. Thursdays meeting centered around introducing individual members to their selected sub-
committees and defining goals for the district, which included an improved curriculum, more technological support, a spirit of inclusion and a focus on diversity. The committee spoke at length about the importance of delineating funding for the district. However, this was not included in the discussion of goals. Unfortunately you cant have a strategic planning committee with funding as a goal, Jeffery said, You just cant have it. Jeffery said that a plan must be implemented that laid out the specific improvements people wanted to see before funding could be considered. When an understanding of goals and priorities was established the
school board could then fit the budget to the goals rather then compromising aims in order to fit the budget. Funding is a concern, a hurdle, a challenge, Jeffery said, it just forces us to get more creative. Other committee members in attendance did not agree with Jefferys view that the financial picture should be disregarded until firm goals were set in place. How do we discuss priorities if we dont know where we are financially in the spectrum? asked Al Semenza, basketball coach at Old Forge High School and parent of two former students. The committee will meet again on Wednesday, Nov. 7.
urday, will be applied toward a base, foundation and landscaping. Mrs. Lukasiewicz said that from a young age, her son truly embraced his Catholic faith. He wasnt ashamed of it, she said. Fourth in his class and a member of the National Honor Society, Gary also was an avid sports fan. He was particularly skilled at hockey, as an accomplished goal tender, and many felt Saturdays run would have appealed to the athlete in him. Members of several Riverside teams, including uniformed football players, were prominent among Saturdays participants. Gary watched all the Penn State games at my house, said Taylor resident Greg Krenitsky, a cousin of Garys father, Chester. And I went to watch his games since he was a rugrat, from T-Ball to hockey. Krenitsky, 54, ran the course for Gary, finishing in 24-something, he said while cooling off on the sidelines as intermittent raindrops began to darken many a yellow shirt. Small-town America is the best America, Krenitsky reflected. These people have been supportive since Day 1.
Standing nearby, Riverside High School Principal Joseph Moceyunas stood clapping at the finish line, his booming voice echoing off the buildings as he shouted personal messages of encouragement. Despite the lowering skies, God and Gary are smiling on us today, Moceyunas said. For some, it also was a day to celebrate personal achievement. Ryan Semyon, 10, came barreling down the home stretch on the grounds of Riverside Elementary West a minute or two after sister Cassie, 15, the first place female finisher with a run time of 20:52. Its my best time ever, Cassie, an accomplished cross country runner, excitedly told their mother, Linda. First place finisher overall was another Viking harrier, Nick Strenkoski, with a time of 17:57. The trophies and ribbons were distributed by Moceyunas and Garys parish priest, the Rev. Francis Pauselli, pastor of Divine Mercy. After the ceremony, a Taylor borough police car led a procession to St. Marys Byzantine Catholic Cemetery for those who wished to pay respects at Garys gravesite. Four-and-a-half months after Garys passing, emotions still run strong in the community. Garys mother takes comfort in the continuing spirit of solidarity. I dont think that it will ever die, Mrs. Lukasiewicz said.

Lackawanna County heralds on-time 2011 audit

Lackawanna County ended last year with red ink on the books, but timely delivery of the audit surveying its finances in 2011 also represents the first step toward renewed fiscal health, officials said.

locals. Jabez Atherton, Cornelius eldest son was born in 1761, and was only 17 years old when he fought in the Battle of Wyoming. It was actually Cornelius who had been drafted to serve; Jabez objected immediately and happily volunteered to become his fathers substitute. Father if you fail, what will become of the children? If I fail you will be here to take care of them, said Jabez. Jabez was accepted and mustered into service. As he marched into conflict, he passed his parents humble dwelling. The entire family came out to see the troops off, tears flowed freely and all that witnessed the sight were deeply moved. Little did any of them know it would be the last time they saw one another. Sadly, Jabez Atherton fell during the battle. His name is at the top of the list on the Wyoming Monument. The boys body is surmised to be among the others who were brutally slaughtered near Queen Esthers Rock. When the news of his sons death reached Cornelius the entire family grieved then quickly prepared to leave the area for fear of imminent danger. His wife was sickly and confined to bed but her fear was stronger than her ailing health and she joined her family in their hasty departure. Soon the Athertons and others headed towards the river with a few of their most valuable possessions in tow. When they reached Nanticoke by canoe, John Atherton, Cornelius second oldest son, took to horseback and proceeded by land on the west side of the river. After he made a path, he returned for the others and their trek began. Mrs. Atherton, being unable to walk, was put upon the back of an old mare, using their bedding as a saddle. The group had not gone but a mile before another woman collapsed. She was also put on the old mares back. No sooner done, the poor old horse sank to the ground from exhaustion. These unfortunates wandered about in New Jersey, afflicted and destitute. They suffered the loss of many things, but mourned most for the dead they had to leave behind and to whom they could not give a decent burial. Cornelius and his family stayed in New Jersey for two years before returning to Lackawanna Valley. In 1782, he purchased 500 acres of land and proclaimed it Ye Settlement of Lackawanna. Cornelius erected his home on the hill overlooking the river in the area known today as Taylor. His sons John and Eleaser built nearby houses, raised large families, and farmed the land. They are often referred to as the founding fathers of Taylor. Cornelius wife died soon after they had arrived in New Jersey. He remarried in 1786 and fathered seven children with his second wife; in total he had 14 children. All those who knew Cornelius Atherton called him a pious man; he possessed a strong religious character. After he settled in Taylor, his faith grew even stronger. Ministers of the Gospel during that time were few and far between, possibly once every three months a traveling preacher would come along and give a sermon in someones private home or barn, thereby following the Saviors command, as you go, preach. Feeling it was his religious duty, Cornelius began calling the people together on the Sabbath and read to them sermons from books. He would stand with his hands, and face upturned to heaven, and invoked blessings upon his family and friends. He kept the prayer meetings going for many years. It is believed Cornelius remained in Taylor for two decades, after which he moved to Chenango County in New York where he died in 1809.

ornelius Atherton, born in 1736 was the grandson of Col. Humphrey Atherton from whom all the Atherton families in America are descendants. Prior to Cornelius coming to Lackawanna Valley, he lived in Dutchess County, New York where he worked as a blacksmith. Cornelius learned the trade at a young age. He discovered how to convert iron into steel when he was just barely old enough to shave. For some time, he was in business with many prominent New York merchants and made quite a name for himself. His next move was to Cambridge near Boston when he was offered the title of Superintendent of an armory owned by Samuel Adams, brother of President John Adams. While working there, Cornelius invented clothier shears and made guns for the Revolutionary War. When word leaked out, the armory was burned to the ground due to the fact they were supplying citizens with guns and the British Commander of Boston feared that it would fuel discord between the colonists and the mother country. Cornelius relocated once again, this time to Plymouth, where he was able to work and prosper at his trade. He owned a large trading canoe which he kept stocked with articles he made with his own hands. Both he and his sons would run the canoe to Northumberland in order to sell his wares to the

RICHARD "RICKY" GOODALL
SEPTEMBER 25, 2012
Richard "Ricky" Goodall, 55, a resident of Roaring Brook Township, formerly of Scranton, died Tuesday evening, September 25, 2012, at home. He and his wife, the former Pamela Shymanski, were married 18 years on February 4, 2012. He was born in Scranton, a son of the late Osborne and Marion L. Brown Goodall. He graduated from Scranton Central High School and Mansfield University with a bachelors degree in political science. He played football both in high school and college. He was a member of Saint Eulalias Church, active with diversity programs in the community and initiated the Black History Essay Contest in the Scranton School District. After college he worked for the United Neighborhood Center. He then went to work for the United States Postal Service. He was a dedicated employee for more than 25 years and was proud of his career, holding several positions and working in various locations for the United States Postal Service.

Vikings scramble to pull out victory

Nick Dranchak found Nico Munley with four touchdown passes Friday night, Oct. 5, but it was a pass that Dranchak did not throw which led Riverside to victory. Dranchaks 96-yard Nick Dranchak run with 5:13 remaining broke a tie and lifted the Vikings over host Western Wayne, 34-27, in the Lackawanna Football Conference Division 2 opener for both teams. It was a pass play, but he took off, Riverside coach Evan Prall said in a phone interview. He got the ball and took his read. The line had the blocks and the middle of the field just opened up. He tried to get what he could and he wound up taking it for a touchdown. The Vikings had to overcome two deficits and a 265-yard, three-touchdown rushing effort by Western Waynes Robbie Siclari. Robbies a very good kid, Prall said. Hes a 6-2, 200-plus running back with some speed. Siclari had all three of his touchdowns in the first half. When the Vikings finally contained him late in the game, it allowed them a chance to overcome a 27-20 deficit in the final nine minutes to improve to 4-2. Especially in the last 18 minutes of the game, I saw a lot of fire and a lot of heart, Prall said. Dranchaks 50-yard touchdown pass to Munley tied the game with 8:45 left. Munley also caught two 63-yarders and finished with nine catches for 236 yards. Dranchak passed for more than 300 yards for the third time in the last four games while also leading the Riverside ground game with 162 yards. He was 20-for-29 for 365 yards. Hes a workhorse, Prall said. He got the kids fired up offensively and defensively. We know he can run the football and he can pass the football. And, hes got some good targets to throw the ball to. One of those targets was missing. Running back/defensive back Dave Sweetman suffered a broken hand in practice and did not play. Still, Riverside needed just 1:11 to open the scoring on the first 63yard Dranchak-to-Munley pass. Siclari came right back to force a 6-6 tie. The game featured two touchdowns in less than three minutes at the start and two more in the final 1:31 of the half, which ended in a 20-20 tie. In between, Western Wayne (2-4) took the lead. Siclari scored on a 28-yard run and added the two-point conversion for a 14-6 lead after one quarter. Another big Dranchak-to-Munley pass cut the Western Wayne lead to 14-12 with 4:42 left in the half. Siclari made it 20-12 with a 32yard run late in the half. The Vikings came back down the field for the tie when Dranchak passed 19 yards to Munley with 15 seconds left, then they reversed roles on the two-pointer. Munley took a pitch and passed to Dranchak for the score, tying the game. The game remained tied until James Berger put Western Wayne in front, 27-20, on an 8-yard run with 10:14 left. Riverside is at Honesdale (0-1 in the division, 2-4 overall) Friday night, Oct. 12. AROUND THE LFC Abington Heights scored the games final 27 points to defeat host Valley View, 34-14, in an LFC Division 1 game between teams that entered the night with 4-1 overall records.

Knights hang on to the Bell

Karlon Quiller found the end zone with two pass receptions to put Scranton in front. With West Scranton mounting an impressive second-half comeback, Quiller went up in the other end zone to come down with an interception that helped the Knights protect their unbeaten record with a 35-20 victory Friday night. The win at Scranton Memorial Stadium allowed the Knights to maintain The Bell, which goes to the winner of the game between the two Scranton School District teams. We were one reception away from tying it or at least making the game close, West Scranton coach Joe Gerek said. The Invaders, who fell to 1-2 in Division 1 of the Lackawanna Football Conference and 3-3 overall, seemed unlikely to get themselves in that position when the Knights opened a 28-7 lead with three straight touchdowns in the first half. West Scranton, however, took charge with its ground game right from the start of the second half. The Invaders scored twice in the first 7:04 and had three first downs on their third drive of

the half. They reached the Knights 13 before a penalty set up fourth-and-eight at the 18 early in the fourth quarter. Jordan McCloe threw into the end zone, but Quiller came down with the interception near the sideline. Quiller also won a fight for the ball on the games first touchdown. He went up over
two defenders to pull in a 23yard touchdown from Marlinn Waiters for the score, completing an 11-play, 72-yard drive after the opening kickoff for a 7-0 lead with 8:28 left in the first quarter. I thought we played very well defensively, Gerek said. Our secondary played well. He just made some outstanding
catches. West Scranton came right back down the field, covering 70 yards in eight plays for a 7-7 tie. The Invaders gained yardage on six runs and McCloe hit two passes, including a 5-yard touchdown to Lou DiBileo with 4:26 left in the quarter. The Knights regained the
lead two minutes later. Waiters hit McCarthy down the middle for a 41-yard touchdown on third-and-12. Waiters, who later ran for the games final score, had his third touchdown pass just 27 seconds into the second quarter. Quiller scored the 20-yarder and McCarthy ran for the twopointer and a 21-7 lead. McCarthy, who was contained by the West Scranton defense for much of the game, broke loose on a 36-yard run to set up his own 6-yard run for a 28-7 lead. West Scranton had a chance to start its comeback late in the half when a 37-yard pass from McCloe to DiBileo down the right sideline moved the ball to the 12. The Knights pushed the Invaders back on three of the next four plays to stop the threat with 1:26 left in the half. If were able to score in the first half, were in the game at 28-14, Gerek said. Instead, we came out and scored twice in a row and were still in the game. Tyaire Quiller, playing against his brother Karlon, ran 18 yards and Marquis Brownlee

Cross-town rivals will not be asked to face off again this season
There are a few exceptions, like playoff rematches that come about naturally. One of the great things about high school and college football, however, is doing it right once. Teams work all week to show their best on Friday night or Saturday afternoon. They plan all season for that one showdown with a biggest rival. The passion of either is difficult to repeat. After putting on a show Friday night before the largest crowd that

will gather at Scranton Memorial Stadium this year, the Scranton Knights and West Scranton Invaders will not be asked to duplicate that effort. The Scranton School District made the wise decision last month to halt plans to have the city rivals meet on Thanksgiving Day. Thats alright. As the Knights and Invaders showed Friday, the Battle for the Bell is just fine on Friday night. The dream of creating a new
Thanksgiving rivalry there was a time when Scrantons predecessors, Central and Tech, faced off while West Scranton played Dunmore every year was not a bad one. It just did not work with the logistics of the modern high school sports calendar. The Lackawanna Football Conference did not want to wait to have one of its games played three weeks after the rest of the regular season was over. District 2 of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association did not weigh in, but it would not have been right for the Class AAAA or Class AAA playoff hopes of the two city schools and others to be altered by a game that was not yet played.
So, the only available option for playing on Thanksgiving was to play a regular-season game as part of the league race and district qualifying, then play again later. There may come a time when the LFC alters its position. If so, there is a small chance that Thanksgiving Day games could still be considered. More likely, the idea will die after being passed by the school board last year. The many potential obstacles will not have to be cleared. The Knights and Invaders will not be asked to duplicate Fridays contest. They each did enough on one special night. Scranton showed why it is an
unbeaten title contender, running off three straight first-half touchdowns on the way to a 35-20 win. West Scranton showed why it has become a much better team than what would have been anticipated by looking at the age and experience level of its starters prior to the season. As coach Joe Gerek promised in the preseason, the Invaders have returned to their more physical roots, using a toughness to try to win battles up front and control the ball with their ground game. Scrantons success the last two seasons, including a Division 1 cochampionship in 2011, has come

Joyce, Johnson help Scranton Prep claim district golf title

Scranton Prep followed up the only unbeaten regular-season record in Lackawanna League golf by winning three matches in five days this week to capture the District 2 Class AAA championship. The Cavaliers, with Moosic residents Evan Joyce and Nick Johnson in the lineup, fought through two tough match-play challenges in the Lackawanna playoffs before handling Coughlin in a medal play District 2 final at Paupack Hills Country Club Friday, Oct. 5.

The Old Forge Blue Devils set themselves up for one more challenge within the District 2 Class A football playoff race by manhandling visiting Montrose, 49-7, Friday night, Oct. 5, in their Lackawanna Football Conference Division 3 opener. Old Forge has already beaten fellow state-ranked team Dunmore, one of two teams that share the second spot in the district playoff points standings behind the Blue Devils. It will meet the other Friday night when it travels to Lackawanna Trail. Were all looking forward to playing in another playoff atmosphere up there at Tunnel Hill, Old Forge coach Mike Schuback said in a telephone interview. Lackawanna Trail is the last team on the Old Forge regular-season schedule that has a winning record. Although three more weeks will still remain, the game will likely determine if Old Forge can successfully defend its LFC Division 3 title. They kind of held our offense in check last season, Schuback said.
Old Forge ripped Lackawanna Trail, 37-6, in the regular season, but needed a fourth-quarter touchdown to pull out a 10-7 victory in the semifinals on the way to its District 2 Class A title. Lackawanna Trail bounced back from its only loss of this season to defeat Carbondale, 27-7, in its division opener Friday. Old Forge had no trouble with Montrose, which has suffered 34 straight losses. The win was the 11th straight in the regular season. The Blue Devils opened a 42-0 halftime lead and added to it by scoring on the first possession of the second half. Brenden Wahl ran for two touchdowns and passed for another while engineering Old Forges offense, which leads District 2 with 272 points (a 45.3 average). Brian Tomasetti added 175 yards and two touchdowns rushing. Old Forge opened a 28-0 lead in the first quarter. Wahl scored on his first touchdown run then found Michael Vieira for a 42-yard touchdown pass. Wahl finished 5-for-8 passing for 85
yards. Tomasetti then scored on runs of 10 and 38 yards. Wahl added another touchdown run in the second quarter before linebacker Shane Schuback returned an interception 40 yards for the 42-0 advantage. Schuback, the coachs son, led the defense. He also made seven tackles, including two for losses. On offense, he caught a pair of passes. The big lead allowed Old Forge to work on its power running game in a methodical drive to open the second half, which was played under the Mercy Rule. Tyler Salerno took over for Tomasetti during the drive and the first-year senior capped the scoring on Parents Night with a short touchdown run. Hes a kid who works hard and plays every position on the scout team, said coach Schuback, who said he was encouraged by Salernos senior teammates to give him a shot at the score. Matt Mancuso made all seven extra-point kicks for the Blue Devils. Montrose broke the shutout in the fourth quarter.
Old Forges Brian Tomasetti crosses the goal line for a touchdown against Lake-Lehman in the first game of the season.
Tomasetti is a threat on both sides of the ball

By now, opposing defenses are well aware that much of the Old Forge attack is built around giving Brian Tomasetti a chance to pound the football behind a dominating offensive line and bruising fullback Jorden Sekol. Those defenses can do little to keep the ball out of Tomasettis hands. Opposing offenses may soon learn they need to avoid the possibility of giving the ball back to Tomasetti. When Blue Devils quarterback Brenden Wahl has not been handing him the ball during the first half of the regular season, Tomasetti has been busy taking it out of the air from other quarterbacks. Tomasetti wore down defenses by reaching the 20-carry mark in the first half of Old Forges two biggest games. The 6-foot-1, 175-
pound senior demoralized offenses by not only taking the ball away, but then taking off in the open field where he is nearly impossible to contain. He plays the ball in the air better than any back weve had, Old Forge coach Mike Schuback said of Tomasetti, a first-team Lackawanna Football Conference Division 3 all-star defensive back last season, according to www.northeastpafootball.com. When opponents manage to finally pry the ball out of Old Forges hands, they may be advised to avoid Tomasettis side of the field. Tomasetti picked off six passes in the first five games. On four of those interceptions, he took off on returns of at least 45 yards. Three of those long returns resulted in touchdowns. Producing touchdowns is someSee THREAT , Page 24

Croker advances to semifinals

Kendra Croker won five straight 6-0 sets to reach the District 2 girls tennis singles tournament semifinals.
When the District 2 girls tennis singles tournament resumes Monday, Oct. 8 with semifinal action, Scranton Preps Kendra Croker will be right where she is expected. Some surprising players will join Croker. While top-seeds Croker and Tyra Abdalla of Abington Heights were dominating early-round play Friday at Kirby Park in Wilkes-Barre, two sixth-seeds and one unseeded player, all from Lackawanna County, also advanced to the semifinals. Sixth-seeds Grace Reilly of Scranton Prep and Allie Pusateri of Abington Heights pulled off upsets to join their teammates in the semifinals. North Poconos Cara Perrotti was the biggest surprise semifinalist, knocking off a pair of seeded players in a grueling day. Croker, an Old Forge resident, was the days most dominant performer while winning three times in the District 2 Class AA tournament. She lost one game in the first set then won five straight 6-0 sets to reach Mondays semifinals, which will begin at 1 p.m. at Kirby Park and be followed by the finals. Both Class AA semifinals will feature Scranton Prep players against Wyoming Seminary opponents. Croker will face fourth-seeded Anita Ghosh. Reilly will take on second-seeded Nathalie Joanlanne. Reilly lost just three games in four sets before beating third-seeded Fallyn Boich of Holy Redeemer, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3, in the quarterfinals.
Abdalla and Pusateri gave Abington Heights a player in each semifinal of the combined District 2-4 Class AAA event. Perrotti will face Abdalla Monday. They advanced along opposite paths Friday. Abdalla lost just three games in four sets. Perrotti won back-to-back, three-set matches. She defeated fourth-seeded Dominique Marcial of Delaware Valley, 6-2, 2-6, 7-5, and fifth-seeded Stephanie Halas of Wallenpaupack, 6-3, 5-7, 7-6 (7-4). When she was done, Perrotti had played in eight sets, two of which went to tiebreakers and two others that were decided 7-5. Pusateri rallied from being shut out in the first set to defeat Williamsports Maggie Manchester, the third seed, 0-6, 7-6 (7-4), 6-4, and reach the semifinals. Second-seeded Kristi Bowman of Crestwood will face Pusateri Monday. Riversides Elysia Heil won her first Class AA match, 6-2, 6-2, over GARs Edouka Aka-Ez. She then lost to fifth-seeded Abriana Nolan of Honesdale. West Scrantons Sara Skoritowski and Emily Graziano were each eliminated in District 2-4 Class AAA preliminary round matches. NOTES: The singles tournament was pushed back from its original Thursday starting day because of rain. When the singles tournament was pushed back, it also led to a delay in the doubles tournament, which is now scheduled to open Wednesday at 9 a.m. at Kirby Park.

thing Tomasetti did better than any player in District 2 during the first half of the regular season. He scored 20 touchdowns and a pair of two-point conversions. The Blue Devils opened Division 3 play Friday night at home against Montrose as an even more prohibitive favorite than they were when the season began. Much of that is a credit to the running game that has taken shape around Tomasetti. Center Tyler Clark, guards Paul Papi and Tony DeSando, tackles Ryan Paulish and Joey Bruno all starters up front on last years division and district champions have paved the way for an efficient ball-control attack. When he is not taking inside handoffs from Wahl from the Wildcat formation, Tomasetti gets almost all of
his yards by running behind the lead blocks of veteran fullback Jordan Sekol. He has a lot of experience, Tomasetti said of Sekol. Hes a great player. Tomasetti has been described the same way. Tomasetti is a great running back, said Evan Prall, coach of Old Forges arch rival Riverside after Tomasetti broke loose for six touchdowns Sept. 28 in a 54-7 Old Forge rout. He doesnt go down to arm tackles. Tomasetti entered league play with 823 yards and 16 touchdowns on 103 carries. Hes worked very hard, Schuback said. He did really well in summer camps. Hes a very good leader. Hed rather show you than talk. Hed rather show you that hell run the ball hard to motivate you. Tomasettis hard running brought the Blue Devils into the start of division play as the highest-scoring team in District 2 and the fifthranked Class A team in the state, according to the Harrisburg Patriot-News.

from combining its tremendous skill position players with a vastly under-rated line that wins far more battles than it loses. West Scranton took on that line in the second half, scoring two straight touchdowns and moving inside the 20 with a chance to make it all the way back from three touchdowns down. Up front, I thought we were very good, Gerek said. I thought we were a little more physical than they were. Scranton holds on to The Bell, but West Scranton gained from another strong effort. Im very proud of the way our kids came out in the second half, Gerek said. The Invaders will not get a rematch, so that pride will have to
do. The thing is no one wanted it twice in the first place, Gerek said earlier in the week. It was a sigh of relief. It was a pointless game if we were going to play twice. The efforts by each team Friday night showed it clearly was not a pointless game. Scranton held on to a share of first place in the division with fellow unbeaten Delaware Valley. The Knights continued their path toward the District 2-4-11 Class AAAA Regional playoffs. Those were all part of the same game as playing for the symbolic prize that goes to the city champion. The two events did not have to be separated in an effort to make both games important. More than anything it matters for the cross-town rivalry and The Bell, Gerek said. Weve had some big games so far and there will be some bigger games down the road, but this is something special. Division 1: Abington Heights 15-0, Wallenpaupack 11-4, Delaware Valley 10-5, Scranton 10-5, North Pocono 8-7, West Scranton 2-13. Division 2: Scranton Prep 14-1, Valley View 13-2, Honesdale 9-6, Montrose 9-6, Mid Valley 6-9, Elk Lake 5-10, Holy Cross 4-11, Dunmore 2-13, Western Wayne 2-13, Riverside 0-15. The series stop in Edmonton that was held this year on July 22 is not on next years schedule. Like this years schedule. Penguins win exhibition opener The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins won their exhibition opener Wednesday, Oct. 3. They will try to do the same when they open the American Hockey League regular season Saturday night in Binghamton, N.Y. The Penguins play the Binghamton Senators in a 7:05 p.m. start. Brian Gibbons scored the eventual game-winning goal into an empty net with 44 seconds left in Wednesdays exhibition opener, giving Wilkes-Barre/Scranton the cushion it would need to defeat the Rochester Americans. -Staff reports
