As time
passes, I
become more
convinced
that the
world at
least socially
speaking could fit inside a
mason jar.
Last week gave me yet an-
other perfect example.
A text message from a read-
er alerted me to the fire at
Gerritys Supermarket in the
Keyser Oak Center on Mon-
day. (Thanks again, Jim!)
One of the men responsible
for putting out the fire wasnt
a Scranton fire fighter but a
citizen - Navy recruiter Carlos
Martinez.
He spotted flames from the
North Scranton Expressway
and suspended his anniver-
sary dinner indefinitely to
work with Gerritys employ-
ees and douse the base of the
fire with three extinguishers.
City fire fighters attacked the
rest.
As we began talking about
the blaze, Martinez asked
what news organization I was
from. I told him about Go and
our connection to The Times
Leader, and he mentioned his
band, Backdraft, had an up-
coming interview with our
parent paper.
But it was revealed the
following day that Carlos and
I were much closer.
His wife, Gabriela, an active
employee at United Neigh-
borhood Centers of Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania, posted a
link to our story promoting
her husbands heroics. Ive
bumped into her at numerous
events and meetings through
the course of our respective
jobs.
The connection went deep-
er still as Carlos found and
befriended me on Facebook
and recalled our very first
meeting.
My kids showered the Mar-
tinez dogs with seemingly
endless affection at the West
Scranton Hyde Park Neigh-
borhood Watch outdoor mo-
vie event last summer.
Taryn and John couldnt
tear themselves away from
the dogs, and they even co-
zied up to Carlos and Gabby
as Gru and his minions enact-
ed a somewhat evil plan to
steal the moon in Despicable
Me.
My kids LOVED your
dogs! I recalled in an online
conversation.
My dogs loved your kids!
Martinez quipped in reply.
Its truly rewarding to bump
into people under the circum-
stances I did on Monday. Its
also comforting to know that
we still live in an area where
people stop to help their fel-
low man in times of need.
Martinez brushed off the
notion, but I feel that he had
an important hand in averting
a much larger disaster behind
the local supermarket that
night.
Im proud to say I know
him, even if I didnt recall it
at first.

Maria Finn, a spokesperson for the
state police, said that because the inves-
tigationis ongoing, further details could
not beprovided.
After the Feb. 22 Prison Board meet-
ing, Lackawanna County District Attor-
ney Andy Jarbola also confirmed that

However long it takes its going to

The DAs office became aware of the
matter when the complaint was filed

Duffycannot investigate one of his own,

Duffycouldnot address theinvestiga-

If the investigation does not result in

SCRANTON Pennsylvania State Po-
lice and the Scranton Police Department
teamedupWednesdayeveningtoarrest a
manwho allegedly soldcocaine to under-
cover officers over the last several weeks.
Raymond Bennett was arrested and
charged with three counts of delivery of a
controlled substance, two counts of pos-
session with the intent to deliver a con-
trolled substance, and one count each of
criminal attempt to deliver a controlled
substance and criminal use of a commu-
nication facility.
According to an affidavit:
Bennett was taken into custody
Wednesday in the 300 block of East Elm
Street. Upon exiting his vehicle, Bennett
allegedly threw a bag of suspected co-
caine underneath his 2008 Lexus as po-
lice arrested him.
Police discovered 13 bags of crack co-
caine and eight bags of powder cocaine
worth an approximate street value of
$1,500 during the incident.
Bennett was arraigned Thursday, Feb.
23, and held for a $75,000 bail. Aprelimi-

City, state police seize $1.5G in cocaine

Police in Scranton seized this cocaine,

SCRANTON The U.S.
Postal Service said Thursday
that it plans to close the mail
processing center in Scranton
and move operations to the
Lehigh Valley as part of a cost-
saving consolidation plan.
The transfer, according to
the Postal Service, would not
affect retail service, business
mail entry, or vehicle mainte-
nance operations at the cen-
ter. It is unclear how many of
the Scranton Mail Processing
andDistributionFacilitys 300
jobs would be lost.
According to U.S. Postal
Service spokesman Ray Daiu-
tolo, Thursdays announce-
ment about the Stafford Ave-
nue facility comes after stud-
ies nationwide of more than
400 similar centers.
The potential closure
would be the second in three
years in this region. A mail
processing center in Wilkes-
Barre was closed in October
2009. About 100 of the 230
employees found work at the
Scranton center.
Implementation of these
decisions is contingent on
congressional approval of a re-
vised service standard for
first-class mail, which would
make such consolidations
possible, Daiutolo said
Daiutolo said no final deci-
sion on consolidations can be
made before May 15, which
marks the end of a five-month
moratorium on postal facility
closings and consolidations.
The moratorium was
agreeduponlast year between
the Office of the Postmaster
General and a group of U.S.
senators to give Congress
time to study and enact legis-
lation to shape the future of
Postal Service operations.
Other consolidations
The same report recom-
mended consolidating oper-
ations at postal facilities at
Lancaster, Reading and Wil-
liamsport into a center in Har-
risburg.
While news of the study
was hardly welcomed by
workers on Thursday, local
postal employees said they
have been working with legis-
lators to prove their operation
is faster and more cost-effi-
cient than the work being
done at the Lehigh Valley fa-
cility.
If you take the volume of
mail we process every day in
Scranton and dump it at the
Lehigh Valley plant, you are
going to break the back of that
facility, Kevin Gallagher,
president of the American
Postal Workers Union for
ScrantonandNortheast Penn-
sylvania, said of the proposed
changes. We have gone to
(U.S. Sen. Robert) Casey with
numerous facts about our op-
erations that prove the postal
service can save massive
amounts of money by keeping
this service at the Scranton fa-
cility.
Gallagher said the cost of
sorting 1,000 pieces of first-
class mail at the Scranton cen-
ter is $6.29 less than at the Al-
lentown facility. He also said
doing necessary expansion
and renovation work at Allen-
town will take at least a year
in order to make the center
ready to accept the proposed
changes in operations.
The Lehigh Valley facility
cant match the standard of
service we have here in Scran-
ton, Gallagher added. Our
facility is a regional and na-
tional leader inthe processing
of first-class mail.
Continuing to fight
Gallagher also praised
Casey, who petitioned the Of-
fice of the Postmaster General
on Wednesday to further
study the consolidation issue.
Sen. Casey continues to be
concerned about the signifi-
cant impact that the closure of
the ScrantonProcessingFacil-
ity would have on the commu-
nity, which is why he believes
an independent review of the
numbers used to justify the
closings is needed, Caseys
press secretary, John Rizzo,
said.

lectively paid $1,254,085.16 in back

Koldjeski said Thursday that anoth-
er $70,000 was collected since the
time of the email sent at 4:21 p.m. on

$1,320,580.30.
Included in those collections was

tainVillage for the former Walmart de-
partment store in Dickson City near
the Wegmans market.
According to the terms of a settle-
ment unanimouslypassed, 6-0, onFeb.

CRANTON The magist-
erial district judge serving
South Scranton will soon
have a new home.
Lackawanna County Commis-
sioners unanimously approved, 3-0,
a lease agreement for a 2,000-
square foot property at 1629 Pitt-
ston Ave., Scranton, owned by Lake
Winola resident Robert J. Osborne
for $1,900 a month at their meeting
on Wednesday, Feb. 22.
The five year, nine month lease begins
April 1 and ends Jan. 31, 2018, which
Commissioner Jim Wansacz said coinci-
des with the end of Magisterial District
Judge Joanne Corbetts first term.
The rental agreement covers all utili-
ties, and the county will be responsible
for phone and Internet service.
The district judges office had been re-
located to the ground floor of the Lacka-
wanna County Courthouse for nearly two
years.
County Director of Public Works John
Eastman said12 possible properties were
reviewed and the approved lease was ne-
gotiated with Osborne down from
$2,600.
Its actually a very good deal, East-
man said. Its a lot less than the last two
weve negotiated for magistrate spaces.
Commissioners also announced more
anticipated savings as they continue to
navigate through the countys financial
obligations.
The first reading of an ordinance for
new general obligation notes was ap-
proved unanimously. The notes, which
will not exceeda total of $880,000, will be
used to refund two bonds from 2002 as
well as the cost and expenses of issuing
the notes.
Michael Vind of Financial S&loutions,
LLC, the countys financial advisor, pre-
dicted the county could save $412,644.62
over the next eight years throughthe new
bond notes.
As we promised, we are looking at ev-
ery option thats available to try to save
money going forward, Wansacz said,
noting that no action on the bond will be
required until a second reading during
their meeting on March 14. This is a
great first step.
Atty. Brian Koscelansky with Stevens
& Lee, the countys bond council, said fi-
nal numbers will be available upon the
second reading next month.
In other business, Controller Gary Di-
Bileosaidthe office has resumedits audit
of the Lackawanna County Prison. The
audit had been stopped due to a business
managers absence and subsequent re-
tirement.
The controllers office is also working
to fill a vacancy after the departure of an
auditor last week, DiBileo said.
Commissioners also reappointed Eu-
gene Dovin of Richmondale to the As-
sessment Board of Appeals.

SCRANTONAt its Feb. 22
meeting, the Lackawanna
County Prison Board dis-
cussed the findings of an
American Civil Liberties
Union report on womens re-
productive health released on
Feb. 15 that found the county
s policies exceptional in some
areas while lacking in others.
Entitled Reproductive
Health Locked Up: An Exam-
ination of Pennsylvania Jail
Policies, the report was com-
piled after reviewing the pol-
icies of the 57 county jails in
Pennsylvania that house
women, focusing on county
jails over state prisons be-
cause the needs of women in
these facilities have never
beensystematically explored
with an aim to help advo-
cates improve womens repro-
ductive health care behind
bars.
The report noted several
positives for our facility and
alsonotedacoupleof areas for
policy improvement. We need
to develop a policy on STD
treatment and bottom bunk
status. Our current practices
are fine, but they are not docu-
mented in policy, Warden
Robert McMillan said.
In addition, we need a pol-
icy on contraceptives.
Current prison policies
Lackawanna County Prison
is credited in the report as the
only county correctional facil-
ity that has a policy that expli-
citly states when a woman
should be taken to the hospi-
tal for delivery. Whilesomein-
dicated their policy is to im-
mediately transport an in-
mate to the hospital any time
an inmate reports labor symp-
toms, this was not part of any
jails formal written policy.
The prisons policy was de-
veloped after a 2007 incident.
Federal inmate Shakira Staten
gave birth to a baby girl in her
cell while incarcerated at the
prison despite reporting her
labor symptoms tocorrection-
al officers and medical staff,
the report said.
The current policy was de-
veloped by the jail medical
staff based on literature from
the American College of Ob-
stetrics and Gynecology and
OB/GYNs, according to the
report.
Lackawanna County Prison
is also the only county correc-
tional facility with clear poli-
cies involving how to support
inmates following a miscar-
riage, including consulting
with the inmate about how to
determine the fate of the fetus
ina way that is sensitive toher
religious and cultural beliefs.
The countys policy states
women are offered counseling
following separation from
their babies after birth or fol-
lowing a miscarriage or termi-

provided regardless of the out-
come of their pregnancies.
Thoughnot required, the pris-
on provides pregnancy tests to
all female inmates on request
and based on the inmates med-
ical history and intake screen-
ing. It has policies about prena-
tal care, prenatal nutrition, the
frequency of prenatal visits, pre-
natal diagnostic tests, andabout
providing abortions to inmates.
It has no policy on requiring
pregnant inmates to use the bot-
tom bunk.
No county jails in Pennsylva-
nia allow women to use contra-
ceptives for pregnancy preven-
tion during incarceration.
Lackawanna County Prison
provides testing for sexually
transmitted diseases and has
policies for testing, but it does
not have policies for treatment.
Policy development eyed
McMillan said some new pol-
icies are being developed as a re-
sult of the report.
The report states that all
women currently on contracep-
tives should receive the same
contraceptives during their con-
finement in our facility. I do not
agree with this recommenda-
tion and amrecommending that
our policy be not to issue contra-
ceptives during incarceration or
release, McMillan told the
board.
While we would allow them
tofinishtheir current supply, we
would not issue any additional
during incarceration.
McMillansaidhe talkedtoDr.
Edward Zaloga, president and
chief medical officer of the pris-
ons health care provider, Cor-
rectional Care, Inc., and this is
his current practice.
Commissioner Corey OBrien
said that they must be cautious
and determine that there is no
medical needfor aninmate tobe
on contraceptives before mak-
ing a determination.

SCRANTON The citys long-delayed
2010independent audit byRobert Rossi &
Co. was released to the public on Feb. 17
after a Feb. 16 exit conference with city of-
ficials, offering a detailed, albeit dated,
breakdown of the citys finances.
Outstanding documents from several
city departments postponed its comple-
tion for nearly nine months. City Council
Vice President Frank Joyce is expected to
reviewthe audit publicly at the next coun-
cil meeting, as the Feb. 23 meeting was
canceled due to a lack of quorum.
Despite the delays, Rossi and Co. wrote
inaFeb. 16letter attachedtotheaudit that

compliancewithlaws andregulations, the
results disclosed no instances of noncom-
pliancethat arerequiredtobereportedun-
der governmental auditing standards.
The auditor didlist several areas for im-
provement, manyintheOfficeof Econom-
ic and Community Development. Busi-
ness Administrator Ryan McGowan
agreed with these findings and wrote that
the city will take steps to implement pro-
cedures to address these issues.
Financial highlights
The net assets of the city exceeded its
liabilities at the close of the fiscal year by
$31,404,299. Capital assets, such as land,

DUNMORE- Dunmore High
School students were greeted by
agroupof boroughpoliceofficers
as they left the building on
Wednesdayafternoon.
Whiletherewasnoemergency
on the campus, police officers
and PennDOT officials were out
in force to make students aware
of a new law aimed at keeping
themsafeontheroad.
As part of the implementation
of Act 81of the Pennsylvania Ve-
hicleCode, whichtoughensvehi-
cle restraint requirements for
drivers under theageof18, Penn-
DOT District 4-0 and the Lacka-
wanna County Highway Safety
Program teamed up with the
Dunmore Police Department
andschool district officials toen-
surestudents werebuckledupas
they pulled away from the high
school campus.
Six Dunmore officers partici-
pated in the effort, which includ-
ed the distribution of pamphlets
remindingstudentsabouttheim-
portance of seatbelt use and a
seatbelt checkpoint for all stu-
dent-operatedvehicles.
These checkpoints and en-
forcement initiatives are being
funded and organized by Buckle
Up PA, said Kathy Fox, coordi-
nator of the Lackawanna County
Highway Safety Program, refer-
ring to a PennDOT-coordinated
initiative aimed at increasing
seatbelt useamongPennsylvania
motorists.
We are out here to remind all
teens, 18 and under, that they
must buckle up. It is now a pri-
marylawfor themtobuckleup.
Michael Taluto, safetypressof-
ficer for PennDOT District 4-0,
said that the seat belt check-
points were taking place at a
number of other local high
schools, includingNorthPocono
andForestCity, aswell asschools
inLuzerneandPikeCounties.
This is a great example of
teamwork between local and
state agencies, with the safety of
our young drivers at the fore-
front, Taluto said of the check-
points.
According to Fox, the Act 81
law, which went into effect Dec.
27, 2011, is aimedat makingdriv-
ing conditions safer for younger
drivers. Thenewlawalsoincreas-
es the amount of behind-the-
wheel training time for learning

to65hours, andalsorestricts the
number of passengers that driv-
ers under 18 years of age can
transport intheir vehicles.
We are reminding all of our
teens to buckle up, because seat-
belts save lives, Fox said. You

SCRANTON Former North-
eastern Intermediate Unit #19
Executive Director FredRosetti,
11Giardina Dr., Archbald, plead-
ed not guilty on Wednesday to
the 13-count federal indictment
handed down against him on
Tuesday, alleging Rosetti
abused his position of power to
have employees perform per-
sonal tasks and used NEIU ac-
counts to fuel his vehicles and
ship packages to family.
Rosetti served as the head of
NEIU from July 1, 1998 to June
30, 2010, in four-year terms. In
June 2003, according to the affi-
davit, an amendment to his con-
tract allowed Rosetti to be re-
imbursed for unused sick leave
with no time limitations. Fur-
thermore, his 2006 contract re-
moved similar limitations on va-
cation time.
According to the indictment,
Rosetti ordered NEIU employ-
ees to perform personal tasks,
including:
installing a flat screen tele-
vision, audio system, and digital
cable box in his home and a new
stereo in his car;
creating photo montages
of Rosetti family events;
and use the NEIU offices at
1200 Line St., Archbald, as a
storage facility for his family.
He allegedly traveled to Ire-
land, New Jersey, and Alabama,
and made multiple trips to Ita-
ly, Florida, and Arizona without
documenting time off.
Rosetti faces seven counts of
mail fraud, one count of theft
concerning programs receiving
federal funds, and five counts of
engaging in monetary transac-
tions in property derived from
specified unlawful activity.
The U.S. Attorneys Office fil-
ed warrants on Tuesday to seize
three joint bankaccounts shared
with his wife, Kathleen, and his
2010 Lexus. No warrants for his
Archbald home or $240,550 in
cash or equivalent property
were filed as of Thursday after-
noon.
Following his arraignment on
Wednesday and the entrance of
his not guilty plea, Mr. Rosetti
was ordered to surrender his
passport andlimit travel towith-
in the Middle District of Penn-
sylvania.
He is tentatively set to stand
trial on April 23 at 10 a.m. at the
WilliamJ. Nealon Federal Build-
ing and U.S. Courthouse.

The state Supreme Court ruled 6-1on Oct.

or Act 47, does not supersede the Policemen
and Firemen Collective Bargaining Act, or
Act111, meaningthat thecitycouldnolonger
delaycollectivebargainingawards becauseof
the citys economic state. Previous estimates
have ranged from$20 million to $30 million.
As of the close of the fiscal year, the citys
governmental funds reported combined end-
ingfundbalances of $2,568,746, adecreaseof
$5,342,390incomparisonwiththe prior year
balance. The largest decrease was in the gen-
eral fund of $4,538,584.
Total general fund revenue was
$55,345,423 for 2010; the general fund total
revenues were down $3,120,018 fromthe pri-
or year. This was duetoless revenuereceived

Other highlights
The city did not have a formal investment
policy, according to the audit. In 2008, the
city entered into an investment policy with
PNC Advisors to provide for current income
and preservation of capital for risk tolerance.
They were replaced on Sept. 21, 2010 with
Penn Security for $10,000 and with Fidelity
Bank for the remaining assets and the Work-
mens Compensation Fund.
Rossi & Co. did not audit the financial
statements of the Sewer Authority, Parking
Authority, andtheRedevelopment Authority.
Those financial statements were audited
by other auditors whose reports were fur-
nished to Rossi &Co.
Additionally, it was notedthat Scrantonre-

jean said.
Those who gave said they do-
nated in order to see county gov-
ernment continue to move for-
ward and, in some cases, for a
chance to network with others.
My contributions to JimWan-
sacz and Corey OBrien were
based on my personal friendship
andmydesiretoseethemcontin-
uetobethemajoritycountycom-
missioners, Prejean said.
Koldjeski said that being a
county employee doesnt make
you a second-class citizen, pre-
cluding one from making cam-
paign donations. He supported
the campaign based on OBriens
philosophy to get property own-
ers to pay delinquent real estate
taxes in full.
Its not as much a political do-
nation as it is a golf outing, East-
man said of his attendance at a
tournament in September. Its
an excellent opportunity for net-
working.
Commissioners announced
that department heads would be
required to reapply for their jobs
under a county efficiency effort
announcedinJanuary. BothWan-
sacz and OBrien dismissed sug-
gestions that any employee who
gave a campaign contribution
would receive better considera-
tion after reapplying for their po-
sition.
It would be completely false,
Wansacz said of the notion.
Were not worried about that.
What this administration is wor-
ried about the three of us, Co-
rey, Pat (OMalley) and myself
isgettingthebest possiblepeople
involved in Lackawanna County
government and going forward.
We do not look at campaign
records. We do not look at who
gave donations. All I can tell you
is we find the best possible peo-
ple.
No sitting directors donated to
the OMalley campaign for com-
missioner, according to cam-
paign finance records.
Wansacz said many of the first
meetings he hadwithcounty em-
ployees were during interviews
conducted during the reapplica-
tion process.
OBrien and Elkins said the
county conducts yearly evalua-
tions for department directors
and deputy directors.
Inadditiontothis beinganan-
nual evaluation, this is a new ad-
ministration, OBrien said. We
have the responsibility to make
sure that we bring into this ad-
ministration the people who we
feel most comfortably canget the
job done that were trying to get
done.
Commissioners said the appli-
cation and interview process has
been exhausting, but some
fantastic applicants have come
through the door, Wansacz said.
There are a lot of qualified in-
dividuals who are out of work
right now. What we found is that
its beenaveryenlighteningproc-
ess. We found a lot of ideas and a
lot of suggestions as were going
through this on how we can im-
prove things.
As the process continues, com-
missioners said Wednesday that
they intendto announce appoint-
ments and reappointments as
they become finalized.
On Friday, Elkins confirmed
the appointment of Joe DArien-
zo as the newdirector of commu-
nications and Joe Refice as the
deputy director for human re-
sources.
DArienzo will be paid $48,000
andRefice will earn$56,000. Pre-
vious salaries were $58,081 and
$61,248, respectively.
Neither have givento the Wan-
sacz, OBrien, or OMalley cam-
paigns.

SCRANTON It didnt take
long for a prime opportunity to
come Rebecca Battles way.
The 47-year-old West Pittston
native spent 20 years in Los An-
geles, Calif., where she worked
as a film professional before re-
turning home last fall. While
still working in California, she
had slowly moved from moving
pictures to still images.
What started as a hobby
started to really become seri-
ous, the documentary photog-
rapher said. I realized, What
am I doing here? It just doesnt
make any sense. My family is
still back east, my parents are
aging. It just didnt make sense
to be in L.A. any longer.
In October, I made a major
life move and then I got an exhi-
bition, so whatever doubts I had
about leaving L.A. were quickly
gone. I made the right decision.
That exhibition of Battles im-
ages focused on abandoned in-
dustrial buildings, Factorium,
opens First Friday, March 2, at
Camerawork Gallery, 515 Cen-
ter St., Scranton, with a recep-
tion from 6 to 8:15 p.m.
I hadbeenattractedtoalot of
abandoned buildings because
America has changed with out-
sourcing and things like
thatTheres some eerie beauty
behind (the buildings), she ex-
plained. Its a commentary on
America, but it also fits with my
artistic sense. Anybody can take
a picture of an empty building,
but I wantedto put a little added
twist and texturize it, changing
it to sepia tones and putting that
artistic signature behind it.
Inall, 10 vertical photos of fac-
tories of yesteryear fromWilkes-
Barre, West Pittston, and areas
surrounding Los Angeles were
selected fromthe more than 200
Battle has captured.
Digital photography has
helpedthe evolutionof her work
over the last 15 years. The first
digital camera she owned was a
gift that changed my life.
No longer concerned with
howmany frames she had left in
a roll of film, she let her imag-
ination and shutter run wild.
Digital opens upawholenew
world because you can take any-
thing and editorialize all of the
pictures downtoget that perfect
image.
Eventhe process behindsome
of Battles work in the exhibit
fits the old-meets-new mentali-
ty. Some pictures, like the first
one taken for the series that fea-
tures the former Stegmaier
Brewery in Wilkes-Barre, were
taken using film cameras,
scanned, and altered digitally.
The country is far fromthe in-
dustrial giant it once was, she
said.
We were mighty powerful in
terms of industry. We revolu-
tionized not only the country
but the world. We created a mid-
dle class, it made us the most
powerful nation, Battle said.
Now all you have to do is drive
in your old neighborhood and
look around you and say, What
happened?
In her former Los Angeles
neighborhood, Battle saw an
artists colony transformed by
developers with high-rise con-
dominiums replacing beautiful
bungalows. Her artist state-
ment says that the Factorium
series has aneyetowardgentrifi-
cation, a process of renewal in
decaying areas, but even renew-
al has a cost.
Scranton, she said, is getting
the process right through a revi-
talized arts community, where-
as Los Angeles got it wrong in
other instances.
The upcoming exhibit, which
continues until April 2, is a
proud homecoming for Battle.
In L.A., yes, I had my friends
and colleagues, but this is differ-
ent, she said. I have lifelong
friends here, my family is com-
ing, my extended family, so Im
very excited and proud of this.
Thats whats going to make this
infinitely more special than Los
Angeles.
Im proud to be part of the
Scranton art walk.

IF YOU GO
It may
seem odd to
say that a
band Ive nev-
er seenbefore
brought back
old concert
memories for me, but Anthrax
isnt just any thrash metal band.
Theyve gone through plenty
of other personnel changes over
the last 31 years, and their big
comeback, the long-anticipated
albumWorship Music, almost
didnt happen for that same rea-
son. Luckily, Joey Belladonna,
whosangforthebandinthe80s
and early 90s, has since joined
the band full-time.
In my opinion, theyre the
most underrated member of
The Big 4 with Metallica,
Slayer, andMegadeth, astheyal-
ways seem to be the opener
whenever they play together.
Unlike the other aforemen-
tioned titans of hard rock, you
can still catch Anthrax in small-
er, more intimate clubs despite
them just playing Yankee Stadi-
umlast September.
OnFeb. 6, I drovedowntosee
one of these smaller shows at
Crocodile Rock in Allentown,
but they made it feel much big-
ger. Thepresenceof another un-
derappreciatedthrashmetal act,
Testament, certainly helped
that. Anthrax soldiered on de-
spite drummer Charlie Benante
and bassist Frank Bello having
toleavethetour duetoCharlies
mother, who is also Bellos
grandmother, passing away.
With their openers stepping
in to fill the void, they blew
through a career-spanning,
crowd-pleasing set, ending with
I AmtheLaw,apersonal favor-
ite given its comic book roots.
The only people more happy
to be there than the packed-in
audienceseemedtobetheband,
who I dont think stopped grin-
ning the entire time. Guitarist
Scott Iangot the crowdriledup,
lead guitarist Rob Caggiano
ripped through every song, and
Joey jumped around the stage
like a man half his age. At 51, he
seemed more into it than ever,
goofing around and shaking
fans hands as he ran up and
down the front row. (And stop-
ping to give my bald head a no-
ogie as I shot photos.)
IendedupattendingtheMon-
day show by myself, which is
what brought me back. Myme-
tal-tinged tastes didnt exactly
line up with my friends, so I
spent many nights driving all
over the tri-state area with no
GPS and no willing companion.
In this setting, youre sur-
rounded by strangers but youre
never trulyalone. As youturnto
your fellowconcert-goer to chat
inbetweensets or hoist a crowd
surfer off your shoulders, you
catch a brief glimpse into the
lives of others like yourself.
As I stood on the side of the
stage later that evening, I was
amazed to see an elderly couple
watching the show from the
sound booth. They were bob-
bing their heads and throwing
the horns. The manevenwore a
Spineshanktourshirt, soIdoubt
this was just some relative of a
band member who agreed to
support them. They stayed for
the entire set, andnoone batted
an eye at their presence.
I mused to a friend recently
that Imgettingtooold for the
pit despite being under 30. You
start to question whatever was
so great about dodging fists and
piling on sweaty people in the
first place. NowI realizethat Im
going to have to accept this as a
routineaspect of mylife, lest I be
shown up by this humble little
pair at least twice my age.
There seems to come a time
when people declare them-
selves too old for whatever
theyonceenjoyed. Concertswill
likely bring me the same joy for
yearstocome, sowhygiveit up?
MaybeIll bepurchasingseatsin
thebackmorethanI usedto, but
my passion for the live experi-
encehasonlyintensifiedafterin-
terviewing many of the bands
Ivebeenlisteningtoever sinceI
was a misunderstood teenager.
Besides, Im not really sure
that people understand me any
better now. But at least I know
Imnot the only one.

SCRANTON Hundreds sup-
ported the locally founded
equine therapy organization,
Marleys Mission, as it held its
Second Annual Blue Ribbon Ga-
la on Feb. 18.
The non-profit organization
provides therapy to children
who suffer from depression or
anxiety as a result of abuse.
We see kids from eightdiffer-
ent counties, all free of charge.
We work strictly on donations,"
said founder and programdirec-
tor April Loposky. We see all
types of trauma. Weseemedical,
sexual, physical, grief, and,
more recently, military trauma.
Organizers were over-
whelmed by last Saturdays
turnout, whichraisedmore than
$100,000. The gala had been
sold out for three weeks.
"The turnout was overwhelm-
ing, and the support from the
community has been great,"
said board member Jody Corda-
ro.
Students from the Scranton,
Dunmore, Mid Valley, River-
side, Carbondale, Honesdale,
and Blue Ridge school districts
created artworks including cen-
terpieces based on the horses
that have become synonymous
with the local agency.
Loposky gave flowers to past
gala co-chair Jeanne Giallorenzi
and Vice President Rebecca
Haggerty, thanking them and
other committee members for
their belief in the agency which
was named Best New Nonprofit
in the 2011 Stay Classy Awards.
"Im overwhelmed with the
support that the community has
shown on a daily basis," said Lo-
posky. "You are family, new and
old. You embraced us, and I can
never thank you enough for ev-
erything you do for us."
Marleys Mission president
and Lackawanna County First
Assistant District Attorney
Gene Talerico distributed the
Golden Bridle awards to Jim
Barrett of Road Scholar Trans-
port, Bobby Soper of Mohegan
Sun at Pocono Downs, and Ja-
son Wiggins and Barbara
Moody Heffner of Mortgage
Network.
Saddle of Hope awards were
given to Ashley Occhipinti and
Michelle Occhipinti Koelsch or
Occhipinti Dance Studio, the
choreographers of the organiza-
tions various flash mobs; and
Spirit Reigns awards were given
to Zoe Haggerty, Isabella Corda-
ro, and Katie Talerico.
"These young girls did an in-
credibly amazing job over the
holidays, single-handedly to
make sure families that needed
help received help," said Taler-
ico.
In addition, Blue Ribbon
awards were given to Kathleen
Bolling Bell, Judy Detter, and
Bridget Cabets. The Friendship
House in Scranton received the
Gateway Award for collaborat-
ing with Marleys Mission in the
healing of children.
Organizers said Saturdays ga-
la was a great night.
"It was magical and inspiring
to see amazing people including
the students, dignitaries, and
other non-profits, Haggerty
said. Were all under one roof
working on a cause."
Gala the mane event

For Go Lackawanna
Focusing on certain drug
stores, as I mentioned last
week, can help you zero in on
items that you can obtain for
free with store rewards and
specific coupons.
Rite Aid is very similar to
CVS, which I previously dis-
cussed, by offering customers
a chance to earn rewards with
a few different programs in-
cluding the Wellness+ store
loyalty card. Rite Aid offers
three member tiers, and once
you read 500 points you get
the choice of one wellness
reward.
Once you activate your
card, its easy to redeem cou-
pons and start earning points.
Visit the stores Load2Card
section online at www.ri-
teaid.com/wellness to man-
age coupons loaded onto your
computer or smartphone.
When you scan your Well-
ness+ card at check out, the
register will automatically
recognize eligible coupons.
You can earn up to 20 percent
off your entire purchase for an
entire year, among other re-
wards.
Up Rewards are similar to
CVS Extra Care Bucks. Both
offer rewards on certain pur-
chases that can be used to-
wards your next purchase.
Browse the Rite Aid circular
for featured Up products that
will be tallies on your receipt.
Use the Up Rewards like cash
on most items to take money
off your next purchase. The
Wellness+ card is free and
necessary to earn rewards
while shopping at Rite Aid.
There are some great sav-
ings at Rite Aid through a
program called AdPerk, which
has members watch short
video ads to earn credits for
printable coupons. After join-
ing AdPerk, spend a few min-
utes watching videos and then
print your coupons. Combine
these offers with manufacturer
coupons to get even deeper
discounts.
Once again, knowing a
stores policy on coupons is
important. Rite Aid accepts
manufacturer coupons from
newspapers, magazines, and
printed from your computer.
The coupons earned through
AdPerk are considered store
coupons and can be stacked
with manufacturer coupons.
There are also coupons in the
weekly fliers that will say
store coupon or manu-
facturer coupon. Make sure
to differentiate between the
two to get the best results.
Rite Aid also offers the easy
Single Check rebate program.
These deals are normally
featured in the stores ads and
typically run for an entire
month. Visit www.riteaid.com
and click on Single Check
Rebates on the homepage.
Fill in the information from
your receipt, and youll receive
a check in the mail for all of
your rebates. You can submit
as many rebates as you like,
but be sure to wait until the
end of the month to request
your check.
If youve gotten items for
free at Rite Aid, share your
tips with us at www.face-
book.com/golackwanna.

t may surprise some
people to learn that the
chart-topping Irish rock
bandThe SawDoctors have
roots in punk and reggae
music, but for lead guita-
rist, songwriter, and vocal-
ist Leo Moran, all music is
good music.
As one of two founding
members of the internation-
ally renowned act, Moran
has stuck with the band
sincetheir inceptionin1986
because its not only al-
lowed him to keep making
good music, but to express
himself in his own voice.
I thinkwerealizedthereason
all music is good because peo-
ples true personality comes out
throughit. Punkreallywasnt re-
ally goodbecause they were put-
ting on an accent; punk really
was good because the singers
were singing in their own ac-
cents, and then when we real-
izedthat andthe penny dropped
that thats actually howyouhave
toexpress yourself inyour own
accent and with your own
words, Moran said while recall-
ing The Saw Doctors forma-
tion.
When we did that, we real-
ized thats exactly what they
were doing. Its just that they
were doing it from different
parts of the world with different
accents and different vocabula-
ries.
Theres a universal nature to
their sound and lyrics, however,
that he believes transcends
those borders.
We love simple music our-
selves, and we always try to
write songs that we like our-
selves and get to the chorus
quickly and try and keep it hoo-
ky and try to keep it interesting.
Were just lucky enough that
enough people, I suppose, agree
withus that thesongs arelikable
andthey obviously touchpeople
in some way, Moran explained.
Were always just hoping that
the next song is one that will
work for us.
That next song is often a hit,
having achieved 18 Top 30 sin-
gles in Ireland, including three
number ones. The 2011 holiday
season brought another sur-
prise hit for the band when they
released a cover of Downtown
featuring original singer Petula
Clark.
It was some experience to
work with such a legend, an en-
tertainment legend of the 20th
and 21st century. God almighty,
it was very exciting, Moran
beamed.
The Saw Doctors are also
well-loved in the States, making
a stopat Penns Peak, 325Maury
Rd., Jim Thorpe, on Friday,
March 2.
In general, people are the
same the world over regarding
audiences. But American audi-
ences are very diligent. Irish
people kind of have it built-in
that they come in late and they
congregate around the bar
more. Americans generally
come to shows early and they
get settled in and they really fo-
cus on the songs and the music
whereas Irishpeople sometimes
have a tendency to focus on the
other element of the night out,
he noted with a laugh.
While he hopes their music is
reflective of their homeland, its
themes tend to reach listeners
all over the world during their
consistently lauded tours.
Well always be looking
around to try take things from
our environment and from the
way people speak around us and
from the way people think be-
cause, generally, the bits in
songs that people love are those
things that are just the really ob-
vious things that everybody
knows but they just maybe dont
hear them pronounced or hear
them stated, in music anyway,
he said.
You can still really move up-
on those really obvious things
and put them into a song and
people cansee themselves inthe
pictures of the song.
While Moran feels that fellow
founder, singer, songwriter, and
rhythm guitarist Davy Carton
enjoys their upbeat songs the
most, Moran admits that he pre-
fers the more serious side of the
band.
I love Same Oul Town be-
cause it kind of balances out.
Were generally known for our
good humor and our upbeat
boisterousness, and Same Oul
Town is the opposite. Its about
somebody living in the same
place for too long and being
bored and wondering what
theyre really doing and being a
bit philosophical about it all.
While I love all the upbeat ones,
I like the idea that that one ex-
ists and some of its comrades in
order to balance out the spec-
trumof emotions that were able
to deal with, he said.
While it took much dedica-
tion to turn his hobby into a way
of life, Moran considers himself
lucky at least and blessed at
best.
Imtoo oldto be retrainedfor
any further employment, I
think. But I just love it. I love do-
ing it. I love the traveling. I love
all the aspects of it. I love the re-
cording. I love the writing. I love
going to different cities and
meeting different people and
eating different foods and drink-
ing different drinks. Its a won-
derful lifestyle. Were very, very
lucky, he emphasized.

SCRANTON The Dunmore
girls and Abington Heights boys
used overwhelming defensive
pressure early to breeze through
the District 2basketball quarter-
finals Friday night.
Dunmore forced 10 first-quar-
ter turnovers and opened a 19-
point lead in the first quarter on
the way to a 55-14 demolition of
Wyoming Seminary in a Class
AAgirls game at Scranton High
School.
Abington Heights forced nine
first-quarter turnovers and took
a 16-point lead in the opening
moments of the second quarter
before settling in for a comfort-
able, 45-30 victory over Tunk-
hannock in a Class AAA boys
game at Carbondale.
CLASS AAA BOYS
Abington Heights (20-5) led
14-0 after one quarter and added
the first basket of the second
quarter.
Tunkhannock missed all 12
first-quarter shots and Abington
Heights turned two of the Ti-
gers nine turnovers into easy
baskets.
They came out trapping,
Tunkhannock coach Bob Miller
told The Times Leader, and we
worked on it a ton at practice.
Sometimes its just hard to sim-
ulate that kindof size andspeed.
They did a great job execut-
ing it.
Brian Stephensons basket 30
seconds into the second quarter
started a 6-0 streak by Tunkhan-
nock, but the Comets again
turned turnovers into two easy
layups while rebuilding the lead
to 22-8 at the half.
Kevin Elwell had 15 points
and Jamie Egan added 11 for
AbingtonHeights, whichplayed
without leading scorer J.C.
Show.
Scranton Prep knocked out
defending champion Holy Re-
deemer, 38-34, in the second
game of the doubleheader at
Carbondale.
The teams traded the lead six
times in the fourth quarter be-
fore the Royals missed a poten-
tial go-ahead 3-pointer with
three seconds left.
Mac Temples put the Cava-
liers ahead to stay, 33-32, on a
layup with 1:57 left.
James Fives scored 11 points
to lead Scranton Prep, which
more than doubled Holy Re-
deemers rebound production.
In another game, Dallas de-
feated North Pocono, 64-58, at
Pittston Area High School.
Shane Dunn scored 20 points
while Paul Brace had 17 points
and 11 assists for Dallas.
Brace helped overcome a six-
point North Pocono lead in the
final four minutes by having a
hand in six of the seven straight
baskets the Mountaineers pro-
duced.
Jack Williams had a game-
high 21 points and grabbed nine
rebounds for North Pocono. Bil-
ly Morrell added 12 points and
12 rebounds while Marty Kelly
had 11 points.

SCRAN-
TON Rebec-
ca Mekilo had
taken 10 shots
Friday night
and missed 10
times.
With River-
side trailing Meyers, 38-32, as
the midway point in the fourth
quarter approached, Mekilo
made one more daring move.
Taylor Bertos steal took
away a possible fourth Meyers
shot on the same possession.
Bertos pass sent Mekilo up the
right side in a hurry.
A strong drive resulted in
Mekilo not only breaking her
scoring drought, but also draw-
ing a foul for the three-point
play that sparked a 12-1 run
that allowed the Lady Vikes to
finally overcome the Mohawks.
The only Meyers basket in
the final four minutes was a
harmless score at the buzzer to
make the final margin, 44-41, in
Riversides favor.
We got some steals and easy
baskets and we got plays down
the stretch from girls who have
been making the plays all year,
Riverside coach Jack Mekilo
said.
Kellie Nash was one of those
players, dropping nine of her
game-high 19 points in the
fourth quarter.
Mekilo was another.
Her offensive struggles were
part of the reason Riverside
trailed by as 12 at halftime. Her
defensive effort was a big part
of the reason the Lady Vikes
were able to remain close until
the shots started falling.
Berto and Madison Haduck
took care of the scoring in the
first half of the comeback, each
hitting two 3-pointers during
the third quarter, cutting six
points off Riversides deficit.
At the same time, Mekilo
was making five of her nine
steals.
Playing the game of a coachs
daughter, Mekilo anticipated
her opponents moves to jump
into passing lanes and got on
the floor after loose balls.
I knew I wasnt playing too
well on offense, Mekilo said.
That really made me step it
up on defense.
Then, after being scoreless
for nearly 28 minutes, she
produced all six of her points
in the final 4:10.
I was off in the first quar-
ter, Mekilo said. I knew my
team was going to come back
to me.
They had faith in me, so I
had faith in myself.
After Nash cut through the
lane and scored for a 39-38
lead, Mekilo added to it by
hitting one of two free throws
with 2:46 left.
Meyers used a free throw to
get back within one, but Meki-
lo and Nash each converted
both ends of one-and-ones in
the final 53 seconds.
It was not easy, but Nash and
Mekilo made sure the Lady
Vikes made it through the first
round of the Class AA field,
which figures to be the high-
light of both the District 2
boys and girls tournaments.
Because of its superior
depth, the starting field in
Class AAA girls had a slightly
better cumulative win-loss
record than the Class AA
group.
The Class AA bracket, how-
ever, features an intriguing
combination of Lackawanna
League teams in the semifinals
after a quarterfinal round that
produced three games decided
by a total of 10 points.
Montrose and Riverside,
which meet Tuesday, are the
only two teams to have beaten
six-time defending champion
Dunmore this season. The
Lady Bucks face Mid Valley,
who has been pursuing Dun-
more for four years, in a re-
match of the state semifinal
that Dunmore won last year.
Like Riverside, Mid Valley
faced a double-figures deficit at
the half, but the Spartanettes
managed to knock off the top
Class AA team from the Wyom-
ing Valley Conference.
The Class AA boys bracket
has by far the best combined
record among its teams with
seven winning squads, includ-
ing four 20-win teams. Two of
those 20-win teams had to go
head-to-head Saturday, making
the GAR-Riverside loser one of
the top teams in the state in
any class to be eliminated at
this stage.
The teams that can survive
these two tournaments are also
those most likely to make noise
for District 2 on the state level.
Riverside relentless in
important win over Meyers

Jerry Kincel tracked down a

Vishnesky took it fromthere,

banking in a shot while falling
down at the buzzer.
Kincel, who struggled to a 5-

G
erry McNamara won a nation-
al title in his first year as a
college basketball player.
Now, the Scranton native is threat-
ening to do the same in his first year
as an official member of the Syra-
cuse University coaching staff.
G-Mac was elevated from gradu-
ate assistant to assistant coach
early this season in the after-
math of sexual abuse allegations
against Bernie Fine.
While McNamara has worked
with the back-court players
under head coach Jim Boe-
heim, The Orangemen have
kept rolling. They entered
Saturday nights game at
the University of Connec-
ticut with a 28-1 record
and the number-two
ranking in the country.
Syracuse is enjoying
some of its best times
on the court since
Boeheim and McNamara first worked
together on the way to the NCAA
Division I mens basketball title in
2003.
McNamara joined current New
York Knick Carmelo Anthony as
Syracuses selections on the Final
Four all-tournament team. McNam-
aras six 3-pointers in the first half
helped the Orangemen defeat Kan-
sas, 81-78, in the championship
game.
Before graduating from the school
in 2006, McNamara had many more
big moments, often producing them
in the postseason.
McNamara set a school record
with nine 3-pointers while scoring 43
points in an 80-75 win over Brigham
Young in the first round of the 2004
NCAA Tournament.
A first-team Big East all-star in his
junior and senior years, McNamara
left his mark on the Big East Tourna-
ment as its Most Outstanding Player
in 2006. His series of clutch late-
game efforts helped Syracuse play
its way into one more NCAA Tourna-
ment trip with four close wins, in-
cluding one over top-ranked UConn,
on the way to the tournament title.
McNamara is a graduate of Bishop
Hannan, where he also found imme-
diate success, playing in the first of
his three state championship games
as a freshman. McNamara led the
Golden Lancers to a state title as a
senior and wound up scoring more
than 5,000 points combined in high
school and college 2, 917 with
Bishop Hannan and 2,099 with
Syracuse.
After playing professionally in
Greece and Latvia, as well as in the
NBA Development League and Sum-
mer League, McNamara returned to
Syracuse as a graduate student and
graduate assistant in 2009.
McNamara lives in Syracuse with
his wife Katie and son Gerry.

TOP STORY
The return of Diana DAchille
and Taylor McKeown, two of the
top scorers in the nation, has led
to Marywood University being
selected as the Colonial States
Athletic Conference womens
lacrosse favorite in a poll of the
conference coaches.
Marywood received five of
nine first-place votes to finish
ahead of Gwynedd-Mercy Col-
lege, which received three.
Its an honor to be recog-
nized by our fellow CSAC coach-
es, Marywood coach Rob
Brooks said. We are excited for
this upcoming season.
The Pacers went 8-0 in the
conference and 13-5 overall last
season when they lost to Gwy-
nedd-Mercy in the CSAC final
and reached the ECAC playoffs.
DAchille had 79 goals and 21
assists and McKeown had 72
goals and 12 assists while both
were first-team CSAC all-stars.

LOCAL COLLEGE SPORTS ROUNDUP
Poll: Marywood lacrosse
team favored in CSAC
TJ Burns lived up to his
billing and then some.
Burns (Abington Heights), a
senior at the College of New
Jersey, was named Diver of the
Meet at last weekends Metro-
politan Conference Champion-
ships in Piscataway, N.J..Burns
not only captured the 1-meter
and 3-meter dives but he
smashed his own school re-
cords in doing so.
The biggest performance
came in the 11-dive 3-meter
where he scored 601.30 points
to better his previous school
record (525.05). The runner-up
in the event scored 370.50
points.
In the 1-meter, Burns totaled
538.30 to top his old school
record of 533.15. He beat the
runner-up by 199.10 points.
Last season, Burns finished
second in both dives at the Met
Championships but went on to
earn All-America honors at the
NCAA Division III Champion-
ships seventh in the 1-meter
and ninth in the 3-meter.
Athletes making this years
NCAAs will be announced in
early March, but it appears that
Burns is a cinch to earn a
berth. The championship is set
for March 21-24 in Indianapo-
lis.
SOLID MEET FOR GIBBONS
Hamilton senior Megan
Gibbons (Abington Heights)
captured the 100 freestyle at
last weekends New England
Small College Athletic Confer-
ence Womens Swim Cham-
pionships in Middletown,
Conn. Her time was 51.50
which put her over the NCAA
Division III B cut.
Gibbons also finished third
in the 50 free (23.85) and
fourth in the 200 free (1:52.67).
The latter was a personal re-
cord and bettered the B cut
time.
Gibbons also earned a B cut
time when she swam the an-
chor legs on the 200 medley
relay which finished fifth in
1:46.84 and the 400 free relay
which finished fourth in
3:32.73. She also swam legs on
the 400 medley relay which
finished fourth in 3:54.93 and
the 800 free relay which fin-
ished sixth in 7:46.96.
Like Burns, Gibbons must
wait to see if she will make the
NCAA Division III Champion-
ships. She competed in the
meet the past two seasons and
was an honorable mention in
the 50 and 100 free and the 400
medley relay last year and in
the 50 free as a sophomore.
MORE HONORS FOR LIDDIC
After being named Lehigh
Valley Small College Player of
the Year a week ago, Muhlen-
berg senior mens basketball
player Spencer Liddic picked
up a pair of honors this past
week.
The 6-foot-5, 215-pound
senior forward from Clarks
Summit (Abington Heights)
was named to the Centennial
Conference first team. Its the
third straight season hes been
a first-team selection. With his
honorable mention pick as a
freshman, hes only the sixth
player in league history to be
named four times and the first
Mule to gain the honor.
Liddic was also named to the
Capital One Division III Aca-
demic All-America second
team this week. He was a first-
team choice last season.
SILEO, GREENE IN
RESERVE
Junior Kayla Sileo (Holy
Cross) and freshman Amanda
Greene (West Scranton) have
been seeing reserve duty with
the Misericordia womens
basketball team this winter.
Sileo, a 5-foot-7 forward, is
averaging 5.2 points and 2.9
rebounds with 21 assists and 12
steals.
Kayla has been a solid con-
tributor all season long, coach
Dave Martin said. She works
extremely hard and has really
given us a scoring threat com-
ing off the bench.
Greene has played in 13
games and has scored 11 points
with 15 rebounds, four blocked
shots, four assists and two
steals.
Amanda has continued to
show improvement throughout
the season, Martin said. She
had her best game recently
when she scored nine points
and had eight rebounds in a
win over PSU-Altoona.
