Thankyou.
Theres not
muchmore a
mancansay
after the out-
pouringof
support behind
the no-shave Govember effort we
embarkedonmore thanfour
weeks ago.
Throughthe support of read-
ers, bothfamiliar andunfamiliar
withGoLackawanna, we did
what I hadonly hopedwould
truly happen.
Whenwe officially launched
the Govember campaignin
support of goodjournalismon
Nov. 2, 18newfans joinedus on
Facebook, accordingtoour ana-
lytics. Over the course of the
month, your shares andlikes and
laughs at my continually growing
facial hair brought us121new
Facebookfans and41Twitter
followers.
Thats upto162newreaders
gatheringnews fromanother
source inour area tokeepthem-
selves informed. Since then,
weve addeda GoLackawanna
page tothe Google+network,
too.
I cant say thankyounearly as
many times as is necessary for
the outpouringof support.
Gettingupanddoingthis job
isnt always easy. Stayinguplate
tocomplete it is sometimes even
harder.
But the constant thumbs-ups
andcomments onhowGrizzly
Adams-ishI was becomingmade
dealingwithmy wifes verbal jabs
worthit.
HavingJohnscratchmy beard
every night while readingbed-
time stories withhim, thenturn-
ingtowatchhimscratchhis own
imaginary beard, made it worth
it, too.
Over the course of the month,
we only lost sevenfans, Facebook
reports inits page insights. I
oftenwishwe couldfindthe
users whonolonger followus to
see what made themunfriendus
faster thananex-girlfriendand
her newboyfriend.
Regardless, we askedyouto
support goodjournalismand
recognizedthat the phrase
means somethingdifferent to
everyone.
For me, as the editor here, its
pretty simple.
It means findingthe facts,
talkingtopeople about the issues
they care about andexpanding
onthem, reportingwithout
protectingor attackinga person
just because of whothey are or
where they work, andcommend-
ingor criticizingour communi-
ties andelectedofficials when
necessary.
We didthat againthis week, as
we have since this paper began
publishingunder its current
name inJune 2010.
This editioncarries reports on
President BarackObama, local
arts andculture, criminally
chargedpublic employees, and
outstandingarea athletes.

President Barack Obama pauses during his speech inside the Scranton High School gymnasium on Wednesday, Nov. 30.
SCRANTON Millions of peo-
pleacross thecountryheardPres-
ident Barack Obamas speech at
Scranton High School on
Wednesday, but only those in the
room could shout their concerns
and encouragement to the com-
mander in chief that frenzied af-
ternoon.
The 44th president of the Unit-
ed States used much of his 30-
minute speech to tout his Ameri-
can Jobs Act and urge Washing-
ton to extend a one-year payroll
tax cut that will expire at the end
of the year.
Thespeechwasoftenlocalized,
relatingwhat thesetaxes meanto
the average Scrantonian, and his
rally cry to ask our wealthiest ci-
tizens to pay their fair share in
taxes provoked consistent cheers
and applause from the reported
1,950people inthe gymnasium.
Opening with Go, Knights!
referringtothehighschoolsmas-
cot, Obama thanked city resident
Donna Festa for allowing him to
visit herEast ElmStreet homebe-
fore she introduced the president
onstage at 2:34p.m.
Come tomy house! a woman
yelled.
Next time, Obama retorted
witha smile.
Bringing greetings from Vice
President Joe Biden, a Scranton
native, Obama citedthe Festas as
an example of an typical middle-
class American family, but noted
that theyhavegood, steadyjobs

WASHINGTON Sen.Bob
Casey, D-Scranton, was in the
Senate on Wednesday, not his
hometown during President
Obamas visit topushfor a Social
Security payroll tax cut exten-
sion.
But Caseysent out astatement
welcoming Obama to Scranton
and thanking him for promoting
the payroll taxcut extensionpro-
posal. Casey helped unveil Sen-
ateDemocrats bill seekingtoex-
tendthe current one-year payroll
tax cut expiring Dec. 31, expand
the size of the cut for 2012, and
pay for it by placing a surcharge
on income taxes paid by people
making more than $1million.
Id like to welcome President
Obama to my hometown of
Scranton to discuss a critical is-
sue for working families in
Northeastern Pennsylvania and
the Commonwealth, Casey
said. Congress must pass legis-
lation I have introduced to help
businesses create jobs and stop a
tax increase for working fam-
ilies.
Republican Reps. Lou Barletta
of Hazleton and Tom Marino of
Lycoming Township also were
on Capitol Hill on Wednesday,
but their reactions to Obamas
visit werent nearly as positive.
Its always exciting whenever
the president of the United
States comes to your area, Bar-
lettasaidviaemail. But I believe
the president would have been
better served had he stayed in
Washington and talked to mem-
bers of Congress about his (pay-
roll tax cut extension) plan rath-
er than campaign in Scranton at
the taxpayers expense.
Noting his 11th congressional
district has the highest unem-
ployment rateinthestate, Barlet-
ta said, The people of Scranton
need a job, not a presidential
campaign stop paid for by the
American taxpayer.
Marino charged that Obamas
lackof leadershipandhisrefusal
to do what is best for the country
and his insistence on sticking to
his worn-out ideologies and Chi-
cago-style politics is clearly hurt-
ing the national economy and
Americans of all walks of life.

CRANTON Those
waiting for tickets
Monday afternoon,
standing in line beginning
Wednesday morning, or
crowding street corners in
South Scranton were all
equally excited to listen to
President Barack Obama
speak or get up-close and
personal with the leader of
the free world.
Supporters linedupMon-
day with the hopes of re-
ceiving tickets to hear Oba-
ma speak about extending
payroll tax cuts and the
American Jobs Act.
Among them was Michelle
Nash, 47, of Taylor, a volunteer
with the presidents successful
2008 campaign.
I think hes been blocked in a
lot of areas, obviously. Id like to
see a little more cooperation
across party lines, but I think
thats becoming a pipe dream,
unfortunately. I thinkhehonest-
ly has done quite a bit with the
opposition hes been met with,
Nashexplained, addingthat she
plans to volunteer for his re-
election effort.
Another Democrat, A.J.
Jump, 27, of Kingston, simply
wanted to hear the man speak.
Any time you can go see a
world leader, especially our
world leader, you should go
hear themandthe way they pre-
sent themselves in front of peo-
ple. Inmylifetime, as far backas
I canremember, I was alittletoo
young to remember Reagan,
and people spoke so highly of
him, Jump said.
Heis probablythemost well-
spoken president in my time.
Hes very inspirational. Hes a
very good speaker.
Gulnara Sadowski, 12, of
Scranton, stood in line with her
mother, recalling her first inter-
action with Obama. After read-
ing one of his books, she wrote
himletter to tell himhowmuch
she enjoyed his work, and he
wrote back saying he had high
hopes for her generation. Now
she was hoping to meet him in
person.
I want to hear what he has to
say because everyones saying
how hes going to raise taxes
and everything, but he might
have something different to
say, Sadowski said, addingthat
she wouldnt agree witha taxin-
crease.
Retired United States Marine
Corps Col. Charles Gunnin, 60,
of Scranton, a VietnamWar vet-
eran, was very confident in his
own support as a born and
bred Democrat, believing that
the 44th president has done an
excellent job in office consid-
ering his opposition.
Republicans work for (con-
servative leader) Grover Nor-
quist. They report to him. They
dont work for anybody else.
They just stand up here and tell
you all the lies in the world.
Theyre nothing but a bunch of
bald-faced liars. They care
about one thing and one thing
only thats Grover Norquist,
Gunnin emphasized.
Its supposed to be a govern-
ment by the people and for the
people, but the Republicans
have made it a government by
the money, for the money, and I
amsick and tired of listening to
their bald-faced lies. Period.
Elected officials outside
Scranton High on Wednesday
hoped Obamas message would
bringa concrete planfor jobcre-
ation.
Lackawanna County Com-
missioner Bruce Smallacombe
expressed concerns over unem-
ployment, including the recent-
ly announced closure of Marian
Community Hospital and the
possible closure of a mail proc-
essing plant in Scranton.
We have 9.7 percent unem-
ployment right now, and we
need a plan. I want to find out if
he has a plan, if its a good plan,
and if its doable or just a politi-
cal stop with a speech, Small-
acombe said.
Fellow Commissioner Corey
OBrien, an early supporter of
Barack Obama during the 2008
campaign, said there needs to
be an end to the gridlock in
Washington.
When (U.S. Sen.) Mitch
McConnell (R-Kent.) starts off
the presidents term by saying,
Were going to do everything
we can to defeat the president
and were not going to work
with him, thats counter-pro-
ductive. That hurts Americans,
andit hurt Lackawanna County.
Im hopeful that the presi-
dent is going to usher inhere to-
day a new sense, a new obliga-

The Festas said the president
sat at their diningroomtable, ate
a little lunch and then chatted
with them about their jobs and

howthey were doing and asked a

rived, PatrickFestasaid. But he

He told us he wants to put

He shared his concerns about

while many have it a lot tough-
er.
A lot of you watched your in-
comes fall or your wages flatline.
Meanwhile, the costs of every-
thing fromcollege to health care
wereall goingup. Andthen, after
all that, thefinancial crisis hit be-
cause of the irresponsibility of
some on Wall Street. And that
made things a whole lot tough-
er, heexplained.
Theres a sense of deep frus-
tration among people whove
done the right thing, but dont
see that hard work and that re-
sponsibility pay off. And thats
not the way things are supposed
tobe, not hereinAmerica.
Obama sent the American
JobsActtoCongresstwomonths
ago, which independent econo-
mists saidwould create up to 2
millionjobs, but Republicans in
the Senate blocked it. Mention-
ing another Scranton-born poli-
tician, he said Democratic Sen-
ator BobCaseyisalreadyonthe
program.
(Republicans) refused to
evendebateit. Eventhoughpolls
showed that two-thirds of Amer-
icans of all political stripes sup-
ported the ideas in this bill, not
one single Republican stepped
up to say, This is the right thing
todo,hesaid, whichwasmetby
boos fromtheaudience.
Deflecting Republican criti-
cism labeling him as a tax and
spend liberal, he noted that tax-
es on the average middle-class
family are lower nowthan when
he took first office in January
2009, givingworkingfamiliesa
$1,000taxcutin2011thatissetto

Instead of a $1,000 tax cut
next year, the typical working
familyundermyplanwouldgeta

youre a small business owner,
my jobs bill will cut your payroll
taxes in half. So if youve got 50
employeesmaking$50,000each,
youd get a tax cut of nearly
$80,000.
The president pointed to
Scrantons history of immigra-
tion, with each successive gen-
erationdoingalittlebitbetterby
doing their part while looking
out for one another and com-
pared this to the simple choice
thats facing Congress right
now.
Are yougoing to cut taxes for
the middle class and those who
are trying to get into the middle
class?Orareyougoingtoprotect

with lighthearted jokes through-
out, he toldthe audience tosend

SCRANTON Members
of Occupy Scranton ex-
pressed their concerns about
Mayor Chris Dohertys pro-
posed layoffs of 29 firefight-
ers in 2012 to City Council on
Tuesday, receiving praise
from council for getting in-
volved in city affairs.
After Occupy Scranton
demonstrator Bob Hall
spoke critically about the
proposed cuts on Nov. 22,
several other self-identified
members joined Hall at the
Nov. 29 council meeting to
ask council to do all that they
can to save the jobs of 29 fire-
fighters slated to be cut by
the mayor next year.
Justin Simonetti noted ar-
eas that would be directly af-
fected by the cuts and said
that response times would
suffer as a result.
It seems to me Mayor Do-
herty is putting a price on hu-
man life. I hate to say that,
but thats what it seems to
me, Simonetti said.
Also in attendance was In-
ternational Association of
Fire Fighters Local 60 Presi-
dent and Scranton Fire Lt.
Dave Gervasi, who said that
generally, two out of eight
firehouses would be open
and three trucks running out
of 10, which he found com-
pletely and totally unaccept-
able.
Council President Janet
Evans responded to the Oc-
cupy members, saying that
while council agrees with
them, its hands are tied be-
cause only the mayor has the
court-mandated power to
make or prevent the layoffs.
Council hears the cries of
the people of Scranton. We
do understand, which is why
last year, we were the first
council to lower taxes in my
memory, maybe ever, for
businesses, for homeowners.
Right now, we are working
very hard to lower these tax
increases, Evans said.
Calling the cuts crimi-
nal, Councilman Jack Los-
combe said he appreciated
the new speakers attending
the meeting and suggested
they occupy the first floor,
referringtothemayors office
in City Hall.
We need all the help we
can get in this city, all the
fresh ideas. Im disappointed
we didnt have more speakers
here tonight, especially with
the way the budget is turning
out, Loscombe said.
Councilman Frank Joyce
was also pleased to see fresh
faces getting involved.
Often, too many times,
you here people say, Well, no
one pays attention to the 20-
year-olds and the 30-years-
olds because they dont care
as much, and its nice to see
that trend changing not only
here in my home city, but al-
so throughout the country as
well, Joyce said.
Parking Authority budget
criticized
In other council business,
council discussed the Scran-
ton Parking Authoritys 2012
budget, which must be ap-
proved by council. Last year,
councils amended SPA bud-
get was passed, but ultimate-
ly not followed by the author-
ity.
This year, council request-
ed an individual line item
breakdown in the budget
with side-by-side compari-
sons to 2011spending, but in-
stead received a document
only two pages long with few
details.
Council solicitor Boyd
Hughes said Scranton Park-
ing Authority Executive Di-
rector Bob Scopelliti also re-
quested that council budget
for $1.6 million to pay the
SPAs 2012 loan obligations,
but when Hughes requested
further information on usage
of the funds over five weeks
ago, it was never received,
which he found reprehensi-
ble.
Councilman Pat Rogan felt
that they should let the SPA
default on their current
loans, sell its assets, andkeep
the parking meters in posses-
sion of the city.
Hughes felt that the SPA
budget is not one that coun-
cil could approve or should
approve.

Occupy members

RICH HOWELLS
A
t a City Council pub-
lic hearing to discuss
the 2012 operating
budget on Tuesday, Greater
Scranton Board of Realtors
Vice President Wayne Evans
decried Mayor Chris Doher-
tys proposed 16 percent real-
ty transfer tax increase, say-
ing it wouldbe nearly impos-
sible for middle income fam-
ilies to buy a home in the city
if taxes continue to climb.
The mayors proposed budget
would raise real estate transfer
taxes from2.5 percent to 2.9 per-
cent, property taxes by 29 per-
cent, and restore business and
mercantile taxes to the 2010 lev-
el of .1percent from.075 percent
in 2011.
Lackawanna County has al-
ready approved a 38 percent
property tax increase for 2012.
Evans said Scrantons newly
proposed realty transfer taxes
will make be the second highest
in the state and more than twice
the rate of any other municipal-
ity in Lackawanna County.
The realty transfer on the pur-
chase of a home in Scranton for
$100,000 would be $4,400, he
continued, yet the same transac-
tion for a home in Dickson City,
Dunmore, Moosic, or Clarks
Summit would be $2,000.
Our realty transfer tax is
higher than both Philadelphia
and Pittsburgh and almost twice
that of the city of Harrisburg, a
city which is currently seeking
bankruptcy protection and fi-
nancial takeover from the Com-
monwealth of Pennsylvania,
Evans stated.
In fact, since 2006, the year of
the last increase in realty trans-
fer tax, the city of Scranton has
seen a dramatic reduction in the
sales of single family homes and
other properties.
He said 495 single family
homes were soldwitha sales vol-
ume of $48 million in 2006, com-
pared to 250 in 2011 with a sales
volume of $20 million year-to-
date. He estimated that it would
take approximately15 months to
sell the homes currently for sale
in Scranton, with homes sitting
on the market for an average of
140 days as compared to 88 in
2006.
We have seen the average
sold price of a single family
home fall froma highof $104,876
in 2007 to the current average of
$82,864. You and I have lost at
least 20 percent in the value of
our homes, Evans said, himself
a homeowner, property owner,
and small business owner in the
city.
We have to find a way to stop
those trends. We have to.
He called the tax increase re-
gressive and asked council to
roll back the tax, pointing out
that lower income homeowners
spend a higher percentage of
their income on housing than
higher income households, add-
ing that up-front costs are the
biggest constraints to home-
ownership for first-time buyers.
The mayors budget on its
face continues the attack on the
American dream of homeowner-
ship in our city. Nationally, 65
percent of all residents are
homeowners. In Scranton, that
number is 55 percent. Econom-
ically healthy cities are not de-
fined by how many renters occu-
py their neighborhoods, but an
economically healthy city can be
easily defined by how many
homeowners occupy their neigh-

SCRANTON One hundred
twenty-five years ago, through
the innovation of a Belgian-born
inventor and engineer, the citys
first continually operating elec-
tric streetcar took to the streets
of the citys downtown.
The five-mile, round trip jour-
ney, part of which stopped at a
turntable in Dunmore to return
downtown, was recognized for
its local and national impor-
tance on Thursday by various
elected officials, rail enthusi-
asts, historians, and more dur-
ing a ceremony at the Electric
City Trolley Museum, 300 Cliff
St., Scranton.
It is a great event to remind
us where we came from, where
were going, and that people
with dreams can make them
come true because they
changed our city, Scranton
Mayor Chris Doherty said of the
anniversary of the inaugural run
on Tues., Nov. 30, 1886.
With its success, the days of
the horse-drawn carriage were
over.
The streetcar gave Scranton
its nickname as The Electric
City, which was rekindled by
Doherty during the course of his
administration. The mayor was
among the many elected offi-
cials who delivered proclama-
tions for Charles J. Van Depoele
Day, named for the man com-
missioned to build the system.
Harold Kip Hagen, superin-
tendent of the National Historic
Site at Steamtown, said he rode
the final run of the electric trol-
ley in 1954 when he was 2 years
old.
My mother always told the
stories of how she used it to get
downtown, Hagen said.
Theres a lot of history. I want
to see it preserved Its site like
this that make Scranton a desti-
nation and not just another exit
off of (Interstate) 81.
The recognition Thursday of
Scrantons national significance
given its gifts of electric street-
cars and such major former in-
dustries as iron, anthracite coal,
and rail, among other contribu-
tions were not far from speak-
ers minds. The celebration of
that first streetcar ride on that
slushy November day was de-
layedfromWednesday toThurs-
day by President Barack Oba-
mas visit to Scranton High
School.
That, to me, makes it all the
more significant, said Dominic
Keating, master of ceremonies
and member of the Board of Di-
rectors at the Lackawanna Heri-
tage Valley Authority. Weve
given a lot to the nation, and
wevebeenfortunatetoreceivea
lot.
The ceremony was concluded
with a commemorative ride that
traced most of the original path
in a County of Lackawanna
Transit System trolley-themed
bus.

Dawn of Scrantons
electric fame relived
By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES
The original run of the Green
Ridge Suburban Streetcar Line
began at Franklin and Lackawan-
na Avenues, traveling up Franklin
to Spruce Street and on Spruce
to Adams Avenue. Following a
turn on Ash Street, the line con-
tinued up North Washington
Avenue nearly to Delaware
Street. A turntable in the middle
of Adams Avenue near Delaware
allowed the car to return to it
departure point.
It is impossible to trace the origi-
nal route in its entirety by car
because of the many one way
streets now located in downtown
Scranton.

POLICE BLOTTER
SCRANTON An off-duty
sergeant spotted a Department
of Public Works employee with
an alleged prostitute on Black
Friday, according to a criminal
complaint.
While hanging his Christmas
decorations, Detective Sgt. Tim
Harding allegedly spotted the
suspicious vehicle occupied by
Robert Pope, 63, of Harrison
Avenue, Scranton, and a partial-
ly undressed Brittany Wuchter,
19, listed as homeless, at about
3:12 p.m. on Nov. 25. The two al-
legedly told Harding that Pope
was looking for a place to talk to
Wuchter about giving her a job
with the City (sic) of Scranton.
Wuchter allegedly told re-
sponding officer Sgt. Mike May-
er that she was given $30 in ex-
change for sexual favors per-
formed with Pope. Pope was
adamant that was not the case,
andlater admittedtopaying$20
for oral sex.
Pope told police that he was
introduced to Wuchter by Char-
les Matis, a fellow employee of
Mr. Pope at DPW. Matis alleg-
edly called Pope from a private
garage along Joseph Avenue,
Scranton, with promises of a
nice girl who would take care
of him, according to the com-
plaint.
When police asked Pope why
he drove to a secluded wooded
area and not his home or a ga-
rage to discuss the potential em-
ployment opportunity, he did
not answer.
Wuchter told police that she
was picked up by Matis on Fri-
day afternoon while she was
walking along Capouse Avenue.
After she allegedly performed
oral sex on him in exchange for
$20, Matis made a phone call
and arranged another date for
her.
Pope and Wuchter ex-
changednames inside his truck
at the Joseph Avenue garage.
They drove tothe secludedarea,
and she was about to perform
her end of the deal when Det.
Sgt. Harding arrived.
When interviewed by police,
Matis told officers that Wuchter
was hitchhiking at about 2 p.m.
She was a good looking girl.
Why wouldnt I give her a ride?
Matis allegedly said in a police
interview. He told police that he
only paid $10 in exchange for
oral sex.
Police searched Wuchters
Hello Kitty purse and removed
two $20 bills and17 condoms as
evidence.
Pope was arraigned Nov. 25
on one count of patronizing
prostitutes and released on
$5,000 unsecured bail. Wuchter
was arraigned Nov. 25 on one
count of prostitution and re-
leasedon$5,000 unsecuredbail.
All charges arepending, andpre-
liminary hearings are tentative-
ly set for Dec. 5.
As of Saturday afternoon, no
charges were filed against Ma-
tis. However, criminal com-
plaints indicate that he will also
face one count of patronizing
prostitutes.
DPW Director Jeff Brazil said
Wednesday morning that both
Matis and Pope were not on the
clock Friday afternoon and are
still employed by the city of
Scranton. They have not been
placed on any form of adminis-
trative leave, and the depart-
ment is performing an internal
investigation, Brazil added.

tion, a new responsibility for Congress
toworkwithhimandnot against himall
of the time.
Approved extensions in the payroll
tax cuts would help offset tax hikes ap-
proved by the county and proposed by
some municipalities, OBrien added.
RyanRinaldi, 18, a senior at NorthPo-
cono High School, said it was an awe-
some opportunityto come see the sit-
ting president in our hometown.
Rinaldi asked why students should
have to move away from areas like
Scranton to find a high-paying job after
graduation and hoped Obama would of-
fer plans to ensure such job creation.
Theyoungmanwhosaidheloves pol-
itics had his photo taken with Obama
during a March 2008 campaign event in
Scranton but was just as excited to see
himspeak as the current commander in
chief. He has kept a political sign auto-
graphed by Obama during the event
since that day.
North Pocono sophomores Corey
Fischer and Blake Bauman both said
they were looking forward to hearing
the president but for different reasons.
Fischer said that many would say
Obama hasnt done enough to be re-
elected.
But you cant do a lot when you have
a Congress that doesnt work with you,
he added.
Bauman said Obama accomplished
what he wanted before the mid-term
election in 2010 and is pushing legisla-
tion that he doesnt believe would pass
so he can run against a do-nothing
Congress.
I personally dont want himtoget re-
elected. I dont like him very much,
Bauman said.
And Scranton Superintendent Wil-
liam King said he had goose bumps
over the opportunity to host Obama at
Scranton High.
Its a huge honor. As far as we can re-
member back, I dont think weve had a
sitting president visit one of our
schools, King said.
Nearly 500 ScrantonHighSchool stu-
dents were set to attend Wednesdays
speech, and Glen Lesh, an Iraq War vet-
eran and SHS health and physical edu-
cation teacher, was selected to lead the
audience in the pledge of allegiance.
Scranton High students Elizabeth
Keathing, Maura McGowan, Nico Far-
gione, Patrick OMalley, and Cara
Browning sang the national anthempri-
or to Obamas remarks.
King, the director of the Steamtown
Marathon, also delivered a small gift
bagtothe president that includedmara-
thon and school district memorabilia.

CARBONDALE The parent
company of Marian Community
Hospital, 100 Lincoln Ave., Car-
bondale, announced Monday
that it will close the facility by
Feb. 28, 2012.
Citing increased competitive
pressures, mounting reimburse-
ment challenges, and a declin-
ing demand for our services,
Maxis Health System President
and CEO Mary Theresa Vautri-
not said more than $3.6 million
in investments into the hospital
were not enough to attract the
needed base of patients.
Following a complete oper-
ational and financial review, we
made the difficult decision that
our multi-million dollar annual
losses could no longer be sus-
tained, Vautrinot said.
Marian had an average of 20
patients per day over the last six
months, according to a release.
The hospital is licensed for 70
beds which it reduced to 35 in
Jan. 2010 because of a steady de-
cline in inpatient care.
Maxis Health Systemcurrent-
ly has 233 full- andpart-time em-
ployees. The system is looking
at the possibility of providing
outpatient services at the Mar-
ian facility.
For 86 years, the IHM Con-
gregation has been recognized
as the face of health care in the
greater Carbondale area. As a
native of the Carbondale com-
munity, I was hopeful that the
1992consolidationof the former
Carbondale General and St. Jo-
sephs Hospitals, that created
Marian Community Hospital,
would endure well into the fu-
ture, Diocese of Scranton Bish-
op Joseph Bambera said in a re-
lease.
However, it is apparent that
present economic conditions in
Northeastern Pennsylvania and
beyond, combined with the cur-
rent climate of health care in
general, continues to be our
lived reality and has forced this
most difficult conclusion.
Marian Community Hospital to close
Business leaders hoping to
learn the ways and means to ex-
pand their business beyond
American borders gathered
Tuesday, Nov. 29, tolearnhowto
avoidthe hiddenperils of selling
their products in foreign mar-
kets.
The International Business
Development Forum at Mary-
wood University, hosted by the
office of Pennsylvania Sen. John
Blake, D-Archbald, brought to-
getherrepresentativesfromlocal
businesses and various govern-
ment and nonprofit entities to
help share the best methods of
startingandmanagingcustomer
bases inforeigncountries.
Speakers from organizations
such as the U.S. Department of
Commerce and the NEPA Alli-
ance took their turn in offering
their advice on conducting busi-
ness overseas.
The importance of foreign
trade to the economy of North-
eastern Pennsylvania cannot be
overstated,Blakesaid. Wehave
70 foreign-owned firms with
business operations in Lacka-
wanna County, and especially in
a down economy, we want to do
everything we can to encourage
both exports and foreign direct
investment inour region.
With the U.S. and Canadian
flags providingabackdrop, trade
relations with Canada received
special attentionfrommany pre-
senters. Paul Gillis, consul from
theConsulateof CanadainPhila-
delphia, was quick to point out
why trade between the two na-
tionswassuchavital part of both
the economy of the region and
America as a whole.
Trade between Canada and
theUnitedStates, valuedat $627
billion annually, is the worlds
largest international trade rela-
tionship, Gillis said. For 35 of
50 states, Canada is the number
oneexportmarket.Morethan8
million jobs in America are sup-
ported by Canada-U.S. trade ev-
ery year, and many of those are
right here inyour region.
Representing the U.S. Depart-
ment of Commerce, AntonioCe-
ballos described the services of-
fered by his agency via the U.S.
Export AssistanceCenter inPhi-
ladelphiaas aMatch.comfor lo-
cal businessesseekingtoexpand
tradeontheinternational stage.
We are aiming to not just in-
troduce businesses to trade rela-
tionships in new foreign mar-
kets, but to create the basis for
long-term trade partnerships,
Ceballos said. So many of the
businesses we see are trading
with Canada, which is wonder-
ful. But we need to help them
buildonthatsuccessandpushin-
tonewmarkets.
Blake praised the turnout for
theevent, whichhesaidincluded
registrations from more than 20
local companies. The forum
couldbecome anannual event.
Nextyear, wemaymoveaway
from hunting season a bit, but
our commitment to local busi-
ness andcommerceis morethan
strongenoughtokeepuscoming
back again and again for these
types of events.

When it comes to Scrantons
future, homeownershipmatters,
and it should matter.
Only three additional speak-
ers addressed council at the cau-
cus, primarily to criticize the
proposed tax increases and
elimination of 29 firefighters in
the mayors budget. Council-
manFrank Joyce saidduring the
regular Tuesday meeting that
amendments are being drafted
by all members of council and
the blow to taxpayers will be

COMMUNITY CALENDAR
This
holiday
season you
can find
something
at the Mall
at Steam-
town that you wont find
many other places in the
country.
In fact, you cant miss it.
Thats because only the
top 10 Suzuki dealers in the
nation were given the Win-
ter Snow Globe display as a
token of their accomplish-
ments in total sales volume
and customer satisfaction
ratings.
Ken Pollock Suzuki, lo-
cated in Pittston, has re-
ceived one of the coveted
10 snow globe displays.
With 265 Suzuki dealers
nationwide, earning this
display is an incredible
accomplishment for AJ
Detrick and the staff at Ken
Pollock Suzuki. The dealer-
ship has been operating in
Pittston for just two years
and has already achieved a
national ranking.
I think that earning this
display is an accomplish-
ment that can be attributed
to the way we treat our
customers in the Ken Pol-
lock Auto Group, said
Detrick, general sales man-
ager of Ken Pollock Suzuki.
The staff decided to dis-
play the award winning
2012 Suzuki Kizashi inside
the snow globe inside the
Steamtown Mall.
We sell a considerable
amount of Kizashis. We
have over 30 in stock, and
we chose to display the
Kizashi not only because of
its recent JD Powers and
Associates award, but be-
cause our customers that
buy Kizashis love them,
says Detrick.
Detrick said the Kizashi
is quickly becoming a pop-
ular, must test drive op-
tion when buying a new car.
Were trading in a wide
variety of cars and sport
utility vehicles because the
Kizashi is an all-wheel drive
vehicle that does not de-
mand the amounts of fuel
that most SUVs require,
Detrick said.
Suzuki also makes a
front-wheel drive version of
the Kizashi, but the all-
wheel drive is in higher
demand in parts of the
country where snow and
tricky driving conditions
make it a very desirable
option.

s the Scranton Civic Ballet Company completes preparations this
week for the 25th annual performance of The Nutcracker at the
Scranton Cultural Center, dancers and directors say that the bal-
let is as much a part of their own holiday traditions as it is for audiences
that flock to see it.
They lookforwardtoit eachyear, just like youdo, saidScrantonHigh
School senior Maura McGowan, this years Dewdrop Fairy.
Its the best part of Christmas.
Thats been the case since
1987, when the company first
put on the famed ballet under
Artistic Director Helen Gaus.
Gaus, who formed the Scranton
Civic Ballet Company in 1978,
said the performance changes
slightly each year.
Every year, you have a new
Sugar Plum Fairy, a new Snow
Queen. Im choreographing to
that persons abilities, Gaus
said.
Changes this year include a
comedic pas de deux, or ballet
duet, for the Chinese dance.
Past interpretations have in-
cluded traditional parasols and
Chinese dragons, according to
Gaus.
After 25 years, some things
still remain constant including
special effects that increase the
size of a Christmas tree from10
to 30 feet during the so-called
nightmare scene and fresh snow
falling fromthe sky during The
Waltz of the Snowflakes.
Lighting is controlled by Rich
Larsen, director of the Universi-
ty of Scrantons theatre pro-
gram, and costumes are made
by Clarks Summit resident He-
len Kasarda with additional tou-
ches added by Gaus herself. Ka-
sarda has worked with the com-
pany since its foundation.
SnowQueen Jamie Doyle, an-
other ScrantonHighsenior, said
the day between performances
of The Nutcracker has served
as a kick-off for her familys holi-
day season for several years.
Thats when the Christmas
music starts in my house, after
Nutcracker, Doyle said. That
Saturday, I usually get my
Christmas tree.
For Scranton Prep senior Tori
Sluko, this years performance
also allows her to realize a life-
long ambition: performing as
the Sugar Plum Fairy.
I love partnering with my
partner, Luke (Kameroski), and
its the only solo in The Nut-
cracker. Its been a dream of
mine since I was 2. The choreog-
raphy is just so beautiful, said
Sluko, a Scranton Civic Ballet
student since age 4.
The Nutcracker is what de-
fines winter for me. It sets the
ball rolling.
WHAT: The Nutcracker, present-
ed by the Scranton Civic Ballet
Company.
WHEN: Fri., Dec. 9, 7:30 p.m., and
Sun., Dec. 11, 2 p.m.
WHERE: Scranton Cultural Cen-
ter, 420 N. Washington Ave.,
Scranton.
COST: $14 and $17.

Dear Santa,
All I want
for
Christmas
is a new
pair of
UGGs
The cartoo-
nist and au-
thor who was
dubbed Dr.
Seuss on
acid doesnt
do drugs, nor
does this Eisner Award-win-
ning comics historian enjoy su-
perhero comics, calling graphic
novels too pretentious.
Just who is this Craig Yoe
character? For starters, hes
probably one the nicest and
most interesting geeks Ive ever
met.
I was first introduced to
Craigs work when I purchased
a book called Weird But True
Toon Factoids for my father as
a gift. The factoids were so in-
teresting that I ended up read-
ing the book cover to cover be-
forehedid, andonits jacket was
a picture of an odd looking man
with a large string of hair hang-
ing over his face.
Never did I imagine that Id
be interviewing him at his
kitchen table many years later,
but those kinds of things hap-
pen when you befriend artists.
My friend, Ted Michalowski,
invitedme tojoinone of his Ma-
rywood University art classes
on Sunday as they went on the
road to Peekskill, N.Y., where
Craigs daughter, Victoria, was
hosting life drawing sessions.
The only thing more impres-
sive than the giant stone pillars
and balcony battlement on the
outside of his castle - no, really,
its a castle - was its colorful in-
side, which resembled a mu-
seummore than a home that in-
cluded extensive bookshelves
and priceless art personalized
to Yoe from everyone from
Charles Schultz to Will Eisner.
His love of comics began
when his mother bought him a
subscription to Walt Disneys
Comics and Stories. When he
started reading The Amazing
Spider-Man by writer Stan Lee
and artist Steve Ditko, their
credits fully published as op-
posed to Carl Banks Disney
work, he immediately became
fascinated with those behind
the panels.
As a teenager, he printed a
fanzine in his basement about
comics history, but soonmoved
his art from two dimensions to
three when he answered an ad
seeking a toy designer, which
eventually led himto a position
at think tank Marvin Glass &
Associates, who dreamed up
Lite-Brite, the memory game
Simon, and Mr. Machine, to
name a few.
While working on toys for
The Muppets, he continually
turned down job offers from
some guy named Jim Henson
until he made him an offer he
couldnt refuse creative direc-
tor and then vice president and
general manager of everyones
favorite puppets.
It was great working with
Jim. He was the real deal, a man
of peace and love and certainly
creativity, as we all know, Yoe
recalled.

Yoes career one to admire

Can you hear the train whis-
tles?
Its that time of year again at
the Lackawanna County Chil-
drens Library. The library is
proud to host the Eighth An-
nual Holiday Train Display, on
loan throughout the holiday
season by Scranton resident Jim
Loven. Loven has been a toy
train enthusiast since he was a
young boy and his collection
eventually out grew his home.
Setting up the display has
become a family affair, with his
wife, children, and extended
family all pitching in.
Kathy Loven creates the
Winter Village and the North
Pole scenes with real gumdrop
trees; sons Robert and Josh help
with the scenery and intricate
electrical wiring; and Mr.
Lovens brother, Pete, provides
transportation to the library for
the display. All in all, it takes
about two weeks to get the train
display ready for visitors.
The display measures eight
feet by 16 feet and takes up the
center third of the Childrens
Library lobby. Removable Plex-
iglas sides were installed three
years ago to prevent derail-
ments.
The display features two
Lionel O-gauge trains, including
the Polar Express, running on a
double track mainline. The
trains pass through a summer
city scene on one end and pro-
gress over bridges spanning a
river gorge, through a snowy
mountain to a winter scene
called Winter Village. One track
extends beyond Winter Village
to serve Santas Village at the
North Pole.
A trolley line runs through
the Winter Village over the
river gorge and through the
summer city scene. A few years
ago, Jim Loven added an under-
ground scene, a coal mine
which extends below the coal
breaker of Lackawanna mine
No. 9.
Beneath the coal breaker,
lights illuminate the deep-shaft
coal mine where miniature
miners work hard to find black
diamonds. The history of the
Lackawanna Valley can be in-
troduced to young children by
letting them know how impor-
tant trains and the coal industry
have been to this area.
New this year is a redesigned
river gorge complete with
rocks, plants and water, de-
signed and created by Robert
Loven. There are also several
new train stations, power lines,
more houses and even an A&W
restaurant.
The trains will be displayed
until the second week of Janu-
ary during library hours. For
more information, contact the
library at (570) 348-3000, ext.
3015.
If youre looking for a great
gift for the holidays, the library
is selling boxes of Gertrude
Hawk Chocolates featuring a
commemorative photo of the
Albright Memorial Library for
$20. Stop into the library to get
your chocolate today!

signing theme parks with
Disney, he formedYoe! Stu-
dio, where he works with
his wife, Clizia, in their
home producing toys,
books, and more. Having
written many tomes on the
history of comics, IDW
Publishing gave him his
own imprint, Yoe! Books,
where he republishes many
lost treasures from the
golden days of comics with
added context.
His beautiful books bring
him and a whole new gen-
eration of readers back to a
time when the stories may
have been simpler, but
their history is just as quir-
ky and fascinating. While
he may be a dedicated fam-
ily man, his young son Grif-
fin in his arms throughout
the evening, his profession
has allowed him to never
have to truly grow up. But
in his case, hes not only at-
tempting to stay young at
60, hes hoping to be im-
mortal.
I once read that when a
lot of artists create, its a
way of, in their minds at
least, thinking that theyre
getting some type of im-
mortality, something of
themselves that theyre
leaving behind when they
leave this old dirt ball. For
me, Im concentrating on
books now, and I also draw
and do some comics. Its a
way of making my mark,
not only on a piece of paper
but in life and the world,
Craig mused.
I dont know how much
longer books are going to
last. Digital is taking over,
but when the last dead tree
is cut down to make paper
for a book, I hope to be
printing on that particular
dead tree. I just really enjoy
books.

The holidays bring families
closer together, and many
people are looking for ways to
create holiday memories with-
out tapping into their Christ-
mas Clubs. Creating a family
tradition doesnt mean that you
have to spend big bucks. There
are a ton of cheap or free family
attractions throughout Lacka-
wanna County that will keep
you within your holiday bud-
get.
Northeast Pennsylvania
hosts one of the most beautiful
light holiday light displays at
Nay Aug Park. Running until
December 31 at 7 p.m., pack
the car and head to the top of
Mulberry Street in Scranton to
enjoy over 100 displays of holi-
day lights. There is no charge
for this holiday treat, but dona-
tions are accepted at the end of
the ride where you can also get
a picture with Santa.
One of my favorite family
activities is the family trolley
ride. Take a train ride with
Santa Claus on Dec. 10, 11, 17,
and 18 when rides depart at
10:30 a.m., noon, 1:30 and 3
p.m. Groups are encouraged to
make reservations at (570)
963-6590. The cost is $8 for
adults and $6 for kids.
Lowes offers free Build and
Grow Clinics on Saturdays at
10 a.m. On Dec. 10, bring your
kids to Lowes to build a Coal
Car. Visit lowesbuildandgrow-
.com for more information.
On Dec. 10, there will be a
Holiday Petting Zoo at the
Mall at Steamtown between 11
a.m. and 4 p.m.
If you are looking for an
inexpensive family meal, then
you might want to stop by one
of the many Breakfast with
Santa events throughout the
area. Most of these events are
fundraisers, so the cost is very
family-friendly. Most events
cost around $6 for adults and
$3 for kids.
One that caught my eye is on
Dec. 10 at Scranton High
School with seatings at 9 and
11 a.m., and it benefits Mat-
thews Mission. Call (570)
961-0818 for reservations. This
is such a wonderful time of the
year to help support fundrais-
ers while you spend time with
your family.
On Dec. 17, bring the family
to a free showing of the Disney
holiday movie, The Search for
Santa Paws, at the F.M. Kirby
Center for the Performing Arts
in downtown Wilkes-Barre.
Doors will open at 12:30 p.m.
and the movie will start at 2
p.m. Pre-movie entertainment
will start at 1:30 p.m. with
choral music, bell ringers,
dancers, and a juggler.
The annual performance of
The Nutcracker, is a treat at
the end of December. Bring
your family to Marywood Uni-
versity on Dec. 26, 27, and 28
for the 2 or 7:30 p.m. perform-
ances presented by the Ballet
Theatre of Scranton. Reserve
your free tickets by calling

The end of the
season will deter-
mine which
teams are cham-
pions.
Its no coinci-
dence, however,
that on an annual basis the high
school basketball teams that end
up being champions seem to keep
finding each other at the start of
the season.
Soon enough, the top teams will
be fighting for division titles and
playoff seeding, then eventually
district championships and state
tournament berths.
First, however, they have to get
through the openers.
Part of what has made the non-
league portion of the schedule so
interesting in recent years is that
the best teams have been so will-
ing to jump right into strong com-
petition.
It certainly helps that, unlike in
football, losses in early non-league
games do absolutely no damage to
playoff hopes. Non-league games
count in the overall record, but are
referred to as exhibitions by
many.
The only impact these games
have on the big picture is in pro-
viding an early indication of which
teams are the strongest at the start
of the season and giving the other
potential contenders a lesson in
what they need to improve on to
be a factor.
On the first night that Penn-
sylvania Interscholastic Athletic
Association teams are allowed to
play games in the winter sports
season, two games will match the
top boys basketball teams from
different divisions against each
other.
District 2s defending cham-
pions in the top two classifications
will meet when Class AAAA cham-
pion Scranton hosts Class AAA
champion Holy Redeemer Friday
night. Both also won regular-
season titles, the Knights in Divi-
sion 1 of the Lackawanna League
and the Royals in Division 2 of the
Wyoming Valley Conference.
Two division leaders meet at
Riverside. The Division 2 cham-
pion Vikings, who also won a
District 2 Class AA championship,
host Montrose, which had the best
record in Division 3 but came up
short of a title through playoffs in
the leagues half-season system.
All three Lackawanna League
powers have key players returning.
Terry Turner, Malik Draper and
Karlon Quiller lead a loaded
Scranton lineup that has the po-
tential to become one of the stron-
gest teams the league has ever
produced.
Scoring leader Jerry Kincel
returns at Riverside, which was
eliminated with a one-point loss to
powerful Communications Tech in
the second round of the state
tournament.
Colby Major is back at Mon-
trose.
The games at Scranton and
Riverside are not the only interest-
ing openers.
On the same night, Holy Cross
is at Abington Heights in an open-
er that annually matches two of
the Lackawanna Leagues top
teams. The Crusaders won the
first-half title in Division 2 last
season when Abington Heights
tied for second place in the second
half in Division 1.
Scranton and Holy Cross are
facing the tough 1-2 punch of fol-
lowing up a Friday night opener
with a Saturday afternoon game.
After playing Holy Redeemer in
the opener, Scranton will come
back against Pocono Mountain
West. Last season, when the
Knights lost only two other games
by two points in overtime and by
four points Pocono Mountain
West ripped Scranton, 71-49, in the
same situation.
Holy Cross is home Saturday
against defending Division 3
champion Lackawanna Trail,
which won the first-half title in
Division 3 last season. Holy Cross
junior Josh Kosin, one of the areas
top big men, will be put to the test
against Lackawanna Trail 7-footer
Steve Miller.
The Crusaders have a different
challenge in the opener trying to
contain J.C. Show, who averaged
15 points per game for Abington
Heights as a freshman.
Lackawanna Trail is at Tunk-
hannock Friday night before tak-
ing on the Crusaders the next
afternoon.
The girls have a high-profile
opener as well, although West
Scranton and Dunmore will wait
until Dec. 11at 1:15 to open their
seasons.
The rare Sunday game features
teams that won both division and
district titles.
West Scranton is trying to re-
place heavy graduation losses
from its Lackawanna Division 1
and District 2 Class AAA cham-
pions. Dunmore will be without
four-year starter Ashley Murray,
but otherwise has much of the
lineup back from a team that won
Lackawanna Division 2 and Dis-
trict 2 Class AA titles on the way
to an appearance in the state
championship game in State Col-
lege.
The marquee openers will not
decide anything. They will, howev-
er, give the best possible preview
of what can be expected in the
season ahead.
Headline openers set pace

LOCAL COLLEGE SPORTS RECAP
R
ich Rossi wrapped
up a big season
and a great career
with the Sacred Heart
football team.
Rossi (Riverside)
played wide receiver his
first two seasons with the

tight end his last two
seasons. That didnt slow
his performance one bit.
Rossi caught 39 passes for
513 yards and five touch-
downs this season. That gave
him a total of 147 receptions
for 1,798 yards and 13 touch-
downs for his career. The
receptions and yardage are
second best in Sacred Heart
history. His touchdowns are
sixth best.
He had his best season as a
junior catching 51 passes for
704 yards and five touch-
downs. The 51 receptions are
fifth all-time on the Pioneers
one-season record list.
Sacred Heart finished 5-6
on the season.
COLLINS HELPED
FALCONS

ished with 121 kills, fourth
best on the team, 88 digs and
15 blocks, tied for second on
the team.
The Falcons posted a 10-17
overall record and a 3-7 mark
in the Colonial States Athlet-
ic Conference.
POINTS FOR BLUMER
Sophomore Jenna Blumer

team defeat TCU in another
show.
Oklahoma State returns to
action hosting New Mexico
State Sunday in Stillwater.
PALMER IN THE RUNNING
Joshua Palmer (Abington
Heights) saw limited action
with the Connecticut mens
tennis team this fall, but the
freshman should see more
action next fall when the
Huskies lose five players via
graduation.
Palmer posted a 2-2 record
in singles and a 2-2 record in
doubles. He finished fourth in
doubles and was 1-1 in singles
at the Brown Invitational and
posted a 1-1 mark in singles
at the UConn Invitational.
GRIFFIN SEES ACTION
Junior Pat Griffin (Abing-
ton Heights) played backup
quarterback with the Ithaca
football team.
Griffin, a 6-foot-1, 220-
pounder, hit nine of 14 passes
for 83 yards. He also carried
the ball four times for 16
yards, including a 5-yard
touchdown run in a 21-7 loss
to Salisbury. It was his first
touchdown as a collegian.
The Bombers finished 4-6.
DUO WITH WARRIORS
Red-shirt sophomore Tho-
mas Chesko (Valley View)
and true freshman Ray Dom-
inguez (West Scranton) were

burg football team. The War-
riors finished 3-8 on the sea-
son.

pound defensive back, had 64
tackles, including 40 solos,
and two interceptions. He

ses for 198 yards, which aver-
aged out to 14.1 yards per
reception.
CRAIG SEES ACTION
True freshman Morgan
Craig (Abington Heights)
played in 10 games as a back-
up tight end and a special
team performer for the Villa-
nova football team.
The 6-foot-4, 255-pounder
caught two passes for 23
yards.
The Wildcats finished 2-9
on the season.

A tip for all Christmas cookie bakers:
Store a clean popsicle stick in your
dry ingredient bins, such as sugar and
our. Instead of using a butter
knife or another straight edge tool, the
popsicle stick can be used to level
the scoop when measuring out your
ingredients as well as, sweep away any
excess.

he University of Scranton
womens basketball team
was insearchof offensiveoptions.
The Lady Royals may have lo-
cated the formula to get their
seasonturnedinthe right direc-
tion when Alison Sweeney and
Erin Boggan led the way
Wednesday night in an 82-75
victory that continued the pro-
grams dominance over visiting
Marywood University.
I still think the pieces are there
for us to be successful, Scranton
coach Mike Strong said after his
team began the process of recover-
ingfromits first1-3start since1990.
Theyre just not sewn together
yet.
Four straight road games to be-
gin the season made it clear that
the Lady Royals needed to formu-
latemoreoffensiveoptions toreach
their accustomed level of success.
Sweeney, a sophomore guard,
had an outstanding shooting night
in the home opener to match a ca-
reer-high with 31 points. Boggan
gave the team an option in and
around the paint while adding 19
points and 11 rebounds.
Freshman point guard Linday
Fluehr showedthe ability to get the
ball to the right spots while posting
11 assists.
Once Sweeney and Boggan gave
Marywood players it had to stop,
Katherine Torto and reserves
Christina Hiltunen and Sidney Jac-
ques showed the ability to take ad-
vantage of more space while hitting
from long range.
I knew, especially after losing
four senior starters, that different
people were going to have to step
up this year, said Sweeney, who al-
so had 31 in a late-season game
against Landmark Conference
champion Juniata College as a
freshman. I knew after last year
that I would have to be one to step
up, but also that a lot of girls would
have to.
Sweeneyis leadingtheteamwith
an average of 18.6 points per game.
She was 10-for-17 from the floor, in-
cluding 6-for-9 from 3-point range,
and 5-for-6 from the line.
Boggan, a 6-foot-1 junior forward
fromDanbury, Conn., has becomea
valuable inside presence after
transferring fromDivision I Gardn-
er-Webb where she appeared in 23
games in two seasons. She is sec-
ond on the team with 11.6 points
per game andfirst inrebounds with
10.6.

Carbondale native fired by
Astros
General manager Ed Wade has been
fired from the Houston Astros by new
owner Jim Crane.
Wade, a Carbondale native, said
Monday that he is disappointed he will
not be with the team when prospects he
added arrive.
I do think the work we have done
with regard to depth in the system will
be saluted in due time, Wade said,
according to the Associated Press. We
had a lot of work to do when we first
got here.
Wade joined the team in 2007. He
spent the previous two seasons as a
scout after serving as general manager
of the Philadelphia Phillies from 1998 to
2005.
The Phillies made the postseason
five times since Wade left, including in
2008 when they won the World Series.
If this turns out the way the Phila-
delphia experience did, then good for
them, Wade said.
Jones put on injured list
Former Lackawanna College wide
receiver Donald Jones has been placed
on injured reserve by the Buffalo Bills,
ending his season.
Jones started in all eight games he
played. Buffalos fifth-leading receiver is
sidelined with an ankle injury.
In his second season as a profession-
al, Jones caught 23 passes for 231 yards
and a touchdown.
Jones is missing from the lineup as
Scranton native Mike Munchak, a
first-year head coach, brings the Ten-
nessee Titans to Buffalo for todays
National Football League game.
The Titans are 6-5.
Scranton student-athletes
honored
The Landmark Conference recog-
nized 248 student-athletes, including 43
from the University of Scranton, on its
Fall Academic Honor Roll.
Five cross country runners who
graduated from local high schools were
included among those honored at
Scranton.
Holy Cross graduates Jason Bohenek
and Benji Brust and Scranton Prep
graduate Chris Cummings were named
from the mens team while Scranton
Prep graduates Kathleen Druther and
Cara Notarianni were among the selec-
tions from the womens team.
Chargers win RAFL title
The Electric City Chargers won the
Regional American Football League title
when they won a battle of unbeatens
from the New York Predators, 18-16.
Both teams went 10-0 in the RAFL
regular season and took 13-0 overall
records into the championship game.
The Chargers beat the Philadelphia
Braves, 42-6, and the Philadelphia
Gators, 34-16, in the first two rounds of
the playoffs.
Prep, VV runners compete

Scranton Prep sophomore Tessa
Barrett was 34th in the girls race and

Country Championships at Sunken
Meadow State Park, N.Y.
Barrett, one of 86 runners, finished

SPORTS BRIEFS
The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
Knights Bantam Major team
was finally challenged for two
consecutive weekends in No-
vember before returning to its
dominant ways the day after
Thanksgiving.
The Knights got at least three
points fromseven different play-
ers and 21 saves from Gavin Le-
wis inan11-0rout of SuffolkPAL
to start a weekend sweep.
After beating Suffolk again,
6-2, the Knights continued to
possess thebest recordintheAt-
lantic Youth Hockey League.
The Knights won one game
andtiedthe other against strong
opposition each of the previous
two weekends. They started
with a 2-2 tie against Long Is-
land Nov. 19 then ended the se-
ries with a 5-4 win to hand the
Gulls their first AYHL loss.
Dennis Smirnov had a hat
trick in the game that left
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton(now11-
0-2-0) on top of the AYHL.
The previous weekend fea-
tured hat tricks by Paul DeNa-
ples of Moscow and Smirnov in
consecutive games. DeNaples
led a 6-4 win over the Connecti-
cut WolfPack before Smirnov
hada five-point effort andDeNa-
ples scored two more goals in a
6-6 tie.
We cancredit our fast start to
hard work, Alex Vasko, the
coach of the team for 1997 birth
year players andyounger, saidin
a story on the league Web site.
We prepare the same way every
week.
Our main goal is player de-
velopment andcompetingat the
national championships.
The Knights showed their
ability to compete on a high lev-
el earlier in November by win-
ning the BantamMajor Elite Di-
vision title at the Bauer Interna-
tional Invitational in Chicago.
After starting with a 5-5 tie
against the Mississauga Sen-
ators from Ontario, the team
gave upjust sixgoals total infive
straight wins, including a 6-3
championship game victory
over Detroit Compuware.
Youthhockeyreport.com
ranks the Knights third in the
country in their age group while
myhockeyrankings.com has the
team sixth.
The Knights had won their
first seven games in the AYHL
by a combined margin of 66-14
before hitting tougher games in
mid-November.
The teamfeatures three Lack-
awanna County players DeNa-
ples, Patrick West fromDickson
City and Elijah Latimer, a defen-
seman from Carbondale. Along
with a strong international fla-
vor, the roster has other north-
east Pennsylvania players in Da-
vid Eifert from West Pittston,
Ryan Flanagan from Duryea,
and defenseman Marcus Joseph
and goalie Lewis, both from
Mountain Top.
DeNaples had a goal and four
assists in the Nov. 25 rout while
IvanProvorov hadtwogoals and
three assists, Nikita Anistraten-
ko had two goals and two as-
sists, and Nikita Pavlychev had
two goals and an assist.
Bantam Major team remains dominant
By TOMROBINSON
For Go Lackawanna
While Boggan handled the in-
side, the Lady Royals had their
best shooting night on the out-
side, going11-for-19 from3-point
range while scoring 23 points
over their season average.
Hiltunen was 2-for-3 from
long range to provide eight
points in 11 minutes.
Scranton improved to 33-0 in
the series with Marywood,
which started in 1975.
The game was tied until Bog-
gan hit two free throws for a 67-
65 Scranton lead with 6:30 left.
Marywood was still within
two points until it started a
streak of nine straight misses as
Sweeney and Jacques were hit-
ting back-to-back, 3-pointers for
a 75-67 lead.
Some of our girls who come
from outside the Scranton area
dont know the intensity of the
rivalry, Strong said.
The intensity showed in ef-
forts by the Pacers, who feature
six Lackawanna County players,
increasing their awareness of
what it would mean to beat the
nationally prominent program
that the Lady Royals have built
in 32 seasons under Strong.
Ashley Murray, a freshman
from Dunmore who had also
considered Scranton, kept pace
with Sweeney early.
Sweeney had Scrantons first
eight points for an 8-5 lead with
17:20 left in the first half.
Murray had 11 points in the
first 8:50, including joining Riv-
erside graduate Morgann Ha-
duck for back-to-back 3-pointers
to cut Scrantons lead to 17-16.
Marielle Thorsen led Mary-
wood with 17 points, including
13 in the second half.
Murray and Mariah Schaeffer
had 12 points each while Ha-
duck had 10 in just 17 minutes
off the bench. Allison Bruet had
five assists and four steals.
Marywood (4-2) had a four-
game winning streak broken
when Scranton went 7-for-8
from the line in the final 45 sec-
onds to seal the victory.
