Our daughter is dramatic.
That’s being polite.
Paper cuts are apparently suf-

usually come with a steady
stream of tears as Taryn flies up
the steps to get a bandage.
Her speed and often unstea-

another bump or bruise on the

It’s an all-too-familiar scene.
Would she run flying out of
the doors of the elementary
school and be hit by a bus pick-

Would she spontaneously
combust from the pressure?
Anything was possible.
Throughout the week, we as-
sured Taryn that just going to
the contest was an honor. Win

reader from her grade at Wil-

ashamed of.
She drew the always dreaded

SORRY STATE AT WASHBURN CEMETERY
Neighbors say years of neglect have
plagued the final resting place
By RICH HOWELLS
rhowells@golackawanna.com
SCRANTON - Toppled, crooked, and
broken tombstones. Graves sunk into
the ground so far that they can no longer
be identified. A towering dead tree that
slowly splintering onto the ground be-
low. Piles of old tires, mattresses, shin-
gles, lawn care equipment, and Christ-
mas decorations dumped in a heap.
When Scranton City Council Vice
President Pat Rogan assessed the Wash-
burn Street Cemetery for himself on
Thursday afternoon, he found its condi-
tion even worse than what neighbors
had described.
For months, Rogan said he has re-
ceived complaints from dozens of citi-
zens asking that something be done
about the condition of the almost 150
year old cemetery, but after letters to the
owner and the city’s department of Li-
censing, Inspections, and Permits went
without a response, he decided to see
the alleged years of neglect for himself.

ABOVE: A pile of decorations
cleaned from graves lies inside the
Washburn Street Cemetery.
BELOW: The grave of Hugh Rod-
ham, father of U.S. Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton, is among
those of historical significance.
“It’s disgusting. People have their
loved ones here and there hasn’t been
proper care of this cemetery for what
seems like decades in some sections. I
saw at least 100 headstones that are
tipped over, trees and bushes growing
out of graves, branches laying every-
where, huge sections of overgrown
grass, and you can see in back that it’s a
big party area for kids. It’s just a mess,”
Rogan said.
A wooded area in the back corner of
the cemetery, littered with beer cans
and garbage, has crept into the grave-
yard itself, engulfing graves with weeds
and poison ivy. A dumping ground lies
next to this area, filled with shingles,
concrete slabs, and Christmas decora-
tions cleaned from the graves. On the
opposite end, a pile of used mattresses
sits next to a shack with a fence that sur-
rounds tires, broken vacuums, riding
mowers, and more.
There are no front gates, and holes
can be seen throughout the surrounding
fences. Only a few links of a broken
chain to block the entranceway at night
remain, leaving the cemetery open at all
hours. Six vehicles are consistently
parked near the entrance, but no em-

Each candidate expressed
their concerns over the county’s
fiscal health while the only sit-
ting commissioner in the race
made it clear that the county is
out of cash and some proposed
financial plans are nothing but
misinformation.
“Anybody up here who says
they’re going to lower taxes is ei-

Both Jeffers and Scranton res-
ident Elizabeth Randol, the for-
mer county chief of staff and pol-
icy director for the Pennsylvania
Treasury, criticized the current
administration for filling budget
gaps with the sale of county as-
sets.
“We currently are carrying a
$5.1 million structural deficit
that this year was plugged with
the $2.1 million in revenue from
the sale of the nursing home,”
Randol said of the one-time rev-
enue solutions. “Clearly, we’re
all in agreement that the coun-

sessments that were completed

to cautiously approach the ef-
fort.
Wansacz and Jeffers said
something should be done to
complete the process after it has
“gone nowhere” after $5 million
was spent to start it. Saying the
issue is not unique to Lackawan-
na County, Wansacz suggested
that “the answer (to reassess-
ment) has got to come from the
state government.”
O’Brien agreed, saying that

ers hope funds from a proposed
impact fee could be used to train
conservation officers to protect
the county’s watersheds.
“We have to learn our lesson
from the coal days and the In-
dustrial Revolution or we’re
bound to repeat those same mis-
takes,” O’Brien said of the scars
that anthracite coal mining left
on the region’s landscape.
Fox said he outright opposes
shale drilling.
“If we can’t stop it, it should
be heavily regulated,” he said.

The auction marketplace, which
is currently in beta, will facilitate
the creation of jobs in northeastern
Pennsylvania, according to Chief
Technology Officer Ted Brunelle.
“We are to the services market-
place what eBay is to the products
marketplace,” he said.
The site offers registered users
the ability to post “jobs” and seek
competitive bids from local busi-
ness owners to have their work
completed, from music lessons to
car repairs. Jobs are targeted by
category including travel, legal ser-
vices and entertainment that are
broken into subcategories to con-
solidate searches and results.
Users need a free account to post
a new job but not to search for
existing work. They can post text
and photos or use an internal
messaging service to connect with
prospective bidders about their
job.
“It doesn’t cost a penny to bid, it
doesn’t cost a penny to post,”
Chief Executive Officer Alex Bru-
nelle said. “It’s the responsibility of
the buyer and the seller… to inter-
act and have their transaction com-
pleted. Our fees are zero.”
The owners plan to earn revenue
through advertising.
Alex Brunelle said programmers
Neil Opet, Craig Simko and Aman-
deep Chorpa put in thousands of
hours to make the site a success.
“I owe the credit of the function-
ality of the system to them.”
The site, the Brunelles said, was
born out of needs that they en-
countered as business and rental
property owners.
“We had a problem, and there
was no service to fulfill our re-
quirements. This is built through
the mother of necessity,” Ted Bru-
nelle said.

“It’s people like Alex and Ted

ta and Tom Marino “to find alternative
funds and grants” to complete the county’s
tory.

get back to basics and “spend on necessities
and not on things that we’d just like to
have.” Jones suggested a close monitoring
of the countywide purchasing program and
stated he would take a $10,000 pay cut if
elected to “lead by example.”
O’Malley said the county must seek to re-

Smallacombe said reassessed taxes on

Regarding Marcellus Shale drilling for

Osama bin Laden’s death ex-

work of the U.S. intelligence and
military forces that hunted the
terrorist down.
“Let the word go forth that the
elimination of this cold-blooded
murderer sends a distinct mess-

For Carney, news Terrorist’s death ‘cathartic’ for U.S.
evokes pride in U.S.
By ANDREW M. SEDER
For Go Lackawanna
Like many Americans, Chris
Carney watched the news re-
ports about Osama bin Laden’s
death Sunday night with a
sense of pride. Unlike many
Americans, he is able to reflect
on his personal role in the war
on terror.
A former 10th District con-
gressman from Dimock Town-
ship, Carney’s resume boasts
experience as a senior terror-
ism and intelligence adviser at
the Pentagon, a commander in
the U.S. Navy Reserve and a
special intelligence liaison
with the Defense Intelligence
Agency.
“It was a pretty big night,”
Carney said. “I was thrilled.”
He said as the news reports
constantly updated viewers
about the killing of the nation’s
Public Enemy No. 1, he began
thinking about his involvement
in the hunt for bin Laden.
Carney was keeping an eye
on bin Laden before the terror-
ism attacks of Sept. 11, 2001
and was involved in multiple
counterterrorism operations
since bin Laden directed at-
tacks that killed thousands in
New York, Washington and a
field in western Pennsylvania.
Watching the television at
his Susquehanna County home
Sunday night, Carney said
when he got word that the pres-
Death of Osama bin Laden
ident had planned to address
Americans at 11 p.m. Sunday,
he knew the news was big and
likely had to do with bin Laden.
News organizations soon
confirmed reports that bin La-
den had been killed by CIA-di-
rected Navy SEALs at a forti-
fied compound in Abbottabad,
a town northeast of Pakistan’s
capital and home to Pakistan’s
national military academy.
That location, and how bin
Laden was able to hide out in a
sprawling compound so close
to the Pakistani president’s
complex, caused Carney to
scratch his head.
“Pakistan has some explain-
ing to do,” Carney said. “To
find out he was basically in Pa-
kistan’s equivalent of our West
Point, there are some questions
that need answered.
“How does the most wanted
man in the world live within a
mile of Kakul (The Pakistan
Military Academy)?” Carney
said.

End of Osama bin Laden does not mean
end of war on terror, expert says.
By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES
chughes@golackawanna.com
ALEXANDRIA, VA – The
death of Osama bin Laden, the
former head of international ter-
rorism group al-Qaida, on May 1
could significantly impact the
work of an area native to in-
crease religious freedoms
around the globe.
Joseph K. Grieboski, 36, a
Scott Township native and resi-
dent of Alexandria, Va., founded
the Institute on Religion and
Public Policy in 1999. It is an in-
ter-religious non-profit, Nobel
Peace Prize-nominated organi-
zation dedicated to ensuring
freedom of religion as the foun-
dation for security and democra-
cy.
He said the death of bin Laden
will mark a significant change in
how he works to build those re-
lations.
“They (al-Qaida) made the
advancement of religious liberty
very difficult
in many ways,
especially as
an American
with an Amer-
ican-based or-
ganization.
Any time I
Grieboski started talking
about reli-
gious liberty issues, certain
leaders of Muslim countries
would feel that ‘This is just a
part of the anti-Muslim senti-
ment coming from the United
States,’” Grieboski said Tues-
day.
“The reality is Osama bin La-
den killed far more Muslims
than he ever killed non-Muslims
in his decades-long execution of
terrorism and the use of vio-
lence. We have a common ene-
my, and that common enemy
has now been dealt with.”
Grieboski said the death of
bin Laden marks as much of a

turning point for the nation as
the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, that
he orchestrated did.
“9/11 came, and our entire na-
tional psyche changed. Every-
thing about us changed, all be-
cause of the mission, the pur-
pose, the desires, the interests
and the goals of this one man
who was the global embod-
iment, the face of terror,” he
said.
The loss of a single leader to
al-Qaida’s “global network of
loosely affiliated organizations”
brings about new challenges in
the war on terror.
“The one binding force
around that network was Osama
bin Laden. With his death, we
now do not have one al-Qaida.
We have hundreds of al-Qaidas,
all with now their own small
leaders, their own missions,
their own goals,” he said.
“Each and every one of these

The remains of 61 of the 110

victims of the Sept. 6, 1869,
Avondale Mine disaster in
Plymouth Township were
buried in the cemetery on
Sept. 9, 1869. Most were of
Welsh decent and were re-
cently remembered with a
plaque in 2009 on the 140th
anniversary of their inter-
ment.
There are not even 61 tomb-
stones to remember each per-
son individually, and those
that remain were largely
cracked, fallen, or sunk into
the ground. One stone still re-
mains missing to this day.
Linda Scott of Clarks Sum-
mit collected donations and
raised thousands of dollars
for the 2009 rededication
plaque and to repair the large-
ly ignored plot where the re-
mains of the miners rest. As
an advocate of local history,
she said she was “disgusted”
ARTS
by the lack of respect the
graves had been afforded and
decided to take matters into
her own hands, using the
money to pay for new footers
and other necessary repairs,
including piecing some back
together.
“I just wanted to honor
their memory. A poor mother
lost a husband and three sons
that day. Willie Hatton wasn’t
working that day, but he was
in that mine with his dad to
watch him work. He never got
a chance to grow up,” Scott
explained when visiting the
site on Friday.
“It seems strange to say,
but when those guys were
down here in the July heat
lifting these tombstones back
up, I kept telling the miners,

anymore, but their souls are
here.”
Scott also intended to visit
the grave of her grandfather
in another section of the cem-
etery, but could not locate it
because of weeds and over-
growth. As she searched, she
pointed out that many stones
were just thrown into piles
near an adjacent fence, leav-
ing many graves completely
unmarked.
“I had somebody call me a
couple months ago from out
of state. He was looking for
his great grandfather and the
Historical Society couldn’t
help him. They spent hours
walking through the cemete-
ry looking for this man’s
tombstone and never found
it. A lot of them are down and
a lot of them are broke,” Scott
added.
“With Memorial Day com-
ing up, you’ll see a lot of peo-
ple here with their own lawn-
mowers and weed cutters do-
ing their own sites because
Chick Rader won’t do it. He
should be paying for this. It’s
just sickening. It gets me ev-
ery time I come down here.”
Past calls to Rader and
State Rep. Kevin Murphy, she
said, have been ignored. As
she prepared to leave on Fri-
day, she found an elderly cou-
ple digging out their family’s
headstones. The stones have
been buried so deeply that a
layer of dirt and grass covers
them completely, and they
are only visible when they
use a hoe and shovel they
brought from home to dig
them out.
Bob and Dolores Morlang,
both in their late 70s, drove
two hours from their home in
Stony Point, N.Y., just to
maintain the grave, knowing
that no one else will do it.
“I wonder what other peo-
ple do. After me, there is no-
body left to take care of them.
I’m the last of the Morlangs,”
Bob Morlang commented.

ployees could be located.
Charles Newcomb, Sr. has
lived within walking distance of
the cemetery for more than 10
years. He visits deceased family
members two to three times a
week. His son, Charles New-
comb, Jr., said he has com-
plained but never received a re-
sponse from the owner, and he
often brings his own lawnmower
and weed trimmer to clear the
section where his grandparents
are buried.
“This has been going on for a
very long time, but we noticed it
more when my grandmother
passed away two years ago, being
there more frequently,” New-
comb, Jr. said.
“This didn’t happen over-
night. It progressively just got
worse and worse,” fellow neigh-
bor Frank Stefko agreed when
contacted Friday. “It’s in my back-
yard. It’s disrespectful and it’s un-
sightly.”
History of neglect
West Scranton residents said
the issues have been ongoing, at
least since the Washburn Street
Cemetery was owned by John
Rogan - no relation to Council-
man Pat Rogan - over two dec-
ades ago.
John Rogan plead guilty to
theft charges in 1992 for embez-
zling perpetual care funds for
years, serving16 months in Lack-
awanna County Prison, fined
$10,000, and ordered to pay back
the over $200,000 he stole.
With this money not being in-
vested into the cemetery, it fell
into a perpetual state of disrepair
that it appears to never have reco-
vered from. Charles “Chick” Rad-
er, owner of Charles J. Rader In-
surance in Scranton, purchased
the property, along with Abing-
ton Hills Cemetery in South
Abington Township for
$750,000. He also owns the Sha-
dy Lane Cemetery in South
Abington Township.
Despite the change in owner-
ship, neighbors say that little has
changed since Rader took over.
“He probably figures, ‘Why
should I clean this up or fix any-
thing if no one is coming to see
these people?’ But that’s not the
point. What about the people
that are coming there that have
to look at that? I’ve never seen a
cemetery where they needed ‘No
Dumping’ signs posted in the
front entrance. What would give
someone the idea to dump there
unless it looked like a dumping
area?” Stefko asked.
One section of the cemetery
did appear to be recently mowed
on Thursday. Another section
that neighbors say is usually
maintained is the resting place of
the father of U.S. Secretary of
State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Hugh Ellsworth Rodham died at
the age of 82 and was laid to rest
there in April 1993 following a
massive clean-up effort spear-
headed by over 200 volunteers
and several city employees, using
taxpayer money to temporarily
maintain the private property.
Former Mayor Jim Connors
said at the time that it was a pub-
lic safety emergency because of
exposed electrical wires, toppled
headstones, overgrowth, garage,
and pothole-laden roads. Several
of these problems still remain to-
day, however, and at least six
inches of grass and weeds sur-
rounded the Rodham tombstone
on Thursday.
Few answers or solutions
Greg Graziano, the cemetery’s
listed caretaker, could not be re-
ached for comment, but a voice
message said he could not an-
swer due to “medical circum-
stances” and asked that all ques-
tions and concerns be directed to
Rader.
When contacted on Friday,
Rader provided few answers.
“The Washburn Street Ceme-
tery will be ready for Memorial
Sunday, May 8, 2011
Day, but if you recall, during the
month of April, we had one day
without rain, just one, and there’s
nothing I can do with a cemetery
when it’s raining,” Rader said.
“Every three years, someone
calls and complains about some-
thing. I don’t have anything to
say about it.”
Rader declined further com-
ment.
Council President Janet Evans
said on Tuesday that there is “no
acceptable excuse” for the “de-
plorable, inexcusable condition”
of the cemetery.
“For years, I have asked the
LIPs department to go there and
cite the owner, and here we are a
year again later – still no citations
and the situation grows more
and more unacceptable, and
that’s a disgrace not only to those
who are buried in that sacred
land, but to their families who
visit them faithfully,” Evans said.
Scranton Director of Licens-
ing, Inspections, and Permits
Mark Seitzinger said that he re-
ceived a letter from council on
Friday about their concerns over
the condition of the cemetery.
Seitzinger said that Don McKe-
on, the West Scranton inspector,
would conduct an assessment of
the cemetery between Friday
and Monday, May 9.
Whether fined or not, millions
of dollars and thousands of hours
of manpower would likely be
needed to restore the property to
a state acceptable to neighbors.
“The next question’s going to
be, ‘Where’s the money going to
come from?’ But I’ll tell you what
– if he maintained the property
and kept kids out of there, it
wouldn’t be like this,” Stefko
said.
“When my grandfather died in
1977 and my grandmother
bought the plot, they paid a fee to
maintain the cemetery,” New-
comb, Jr. said. “It’s in your con-
tract when you purchase the plot.
You pay for perpetual care – what
happened to that perpetual care
money? That’s what I want to
know.”

Juvenile office near skate park will welcome K-9 officers
Scranton Police Chief Dan Duffy hands West Scranton Hyde Park Neighborhood Watch President Karin Foster the keys to a
skate park on Jackson Street. Police and watch members began enforcing new park hours on Thursday.
Chief: Officers have new home

S
CRANTON – Spurred by the
concerns of a neighborhood
watch group over the late
night activity of teens in an area
skate park, Scranton Police Chief
Dan Duffy announced Thursday
that police and crime watch mem-
bers will actively enforce an 8 p.m.
closure of the park each night.
In a surprise announcement, he also
said that the department’s juvenile office
at Jackson Street and North Bromley Ave-
nue will become the city’s West Side pre-
cinct and additionally house the K-9 unit.
A fifth city K-9 officer will be introduced
soon, he said.
“We want a uniformed presence in this
area, and I want to give our guys another
location that they can call home,” Duffy
said. “At the same time, we’ll be able to
build relationships with the people who
come to the skate park here.”
At a watch meeting held Wednesday,
neighbors expressed concerns over
youths utilizing the park in the late eve-
ning hours, destroying park property, us-
ing foul language and possibly abusing
drugs.
Resident Dan Brennan, who moved to
West Scranton in December, said that his
car was burglarized on Monday and a
GPS device was stolen.
In motions approved Wednesday,
watch members unanimously agreed to
keep the park open between noon and 8
p.m. from Monday to Saturday, and from
3 to 8 p.m. on Sunday.
Karin Foster, president of the neighbor-
hood watch, said the main goals of a new
city ordinance is to establish specific park
rules and hours, and to add new accessi-
bility for the general public. She is work-
ing with city solicitor Paul Kelly to draft
the legislation.
“The old story is that kids have no
where to go,” Kelly said. “Let’s bring
them here, but at the same time let’s re-
spect everybody’s rights in the neighbor-
hood. When we do pass this ordinance,
there’s going to be rules.
CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES PHOTO / FOR GO LACKAWANNA
“It’s just another enhancement of being
part of the solution,” Kelly added, noting
the chief’s encouraged public-private
partnership between citizens and the po-
lice.
Duffy did not discuss a location but
said another precinct is planned on the
east side of the Lackawanna River. He
said he’d like to add surveillance cameras
to the area of the skate park on Jackson
Street but acknowledged that it may not
be financially feasible this year.
In addition to welcoming the new pre-
cinct, the crime watch is planning a two-
day event in July where youths will col-
laborate with local artist Ted Michalow-
ski to create a mural to cover existing
graffiti. An existing piece of damaged
playground equipment will also be re-
moved in the coming weeks to make way
for a future community garden.
Neighbors are encouraged to report vi-
olations, including use of the park after
regular hours, to Scranton police, Duffy
told residents on Wednesday.
“If you enforce the small stuff, the big
stuff goes away,” he said.

relentlessly vigilant, the death of bin
Laden has enormous significance in
American and world history.:
Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton, said
that, “Like all Americans, I am pleased
that, after a manhunt lasting more
than a decade, Osama bin Laden is
dead. For far too long, bin Laden evad-
ed justice. But now, it seems as if jus-
tice has finally been meted out to Osa-
ma bin Laden.”
Barletta said he hopes the news
“brings some measure of solace” to
families of victims of 9/11 and other
terrorist attacks carried out by al-Qai-
da. But Barletta also cautioned that
bin Laden’s death does not mean the
end to al-Qaida and other terrorists
who wish the United States harm.

Right now, this is a time for Amer-
icans and other residents of the world
to rejoice and feel proud that one mis-
sion has been accomplished, he said.
“It shows the resolve of the United
States. We’re not going to give up,”
Carney said, noting that it also sends
another message to terrorists who
might have doubted the country’s ef-
forts to bring down al-Qaida. “It shows
them our tenacity.”
SPORTS
One part of the killing of bin Laden
that has raised questions, especially in
the conspiracy theorists’ community,
is why the military conducted a burial
at sea instead of keeping his body.
Carney said the decision was “a bril-
liant idea frankly.”
He said leaving the body behind or
burying it would create a shrine for his
followers. By adhering to the Muslim
requirements that burial take place
within 24 hours and doing it at an un-
disclosed place where no followers
could gather at was the right decision,
he said.

better than
hanging out
backstage
with some
of your fa-
vorite musicians?
Well, a few things, actual-
ly.
With this job, you never
know who you’ll be rubbing
elbows with or calling up
week to week. I’ve inter-
viewed politicians, business
owners, community leaders,
actors, writers, artists, co-
medians, and musicians,
each having their own dis-
tinct quirks and person-
alities.
Sometimes it’s easy to
get swept up in their lives,
and every once in a while,
something more comes out
of that half-hour or so you
share – it’s just not always
in the way you’d expect.
ARTS
Once the initial shock
wore off, my pessimistic
side took over and said, “If
it sounds too good to be
true, it probably is.” After
all, I’m sure this guy does
hundreds of interviews, and
I doubt mine really stood
out that much from the
rest.
Sevendust opened for
Avenged Sevenfold at the
Mohegan Sun Arena in
Wilkes-Barre. My little
brother’s favorite band is
Avenged, so I knew I’d be
taking him to the show
whether this fabled meeting
Offspring and Lit at Mon-
tage Mountain. I remember
not being able to see much
from my cheap lawn seats,
but it was a nice, easy-
going introduction into my
lifelong passion for live
music.
For me, it was just anoth-
er show, but for him, this
was something he’d remem-
ber for the rest of his life.
I knew that because he is
just like I was at that age –
a quiet, introverted geek
who enjoys his escapism.
He wears his headphones
almost constantly, just as I
did, and the music offered
the reason, understanding,
and motivation that many
of my peers at the time
didn’t.
Eventually I got over the
teen angst, and I’m sure he
will too, but in that mo-
ing outside on a tour bus?
So, I let it go.
Lajon eventually got up
and walked in the back
without a word exchanged,
but as soon as the lights
came on and the headliners
began, Justin’s face lit up
brighter than the flames
that shot up from the
stage.
Here was a kid that I
hadn’t seen smile in weeks
acting like a total goofball
in public, waving his hands
in the air and taking pic-
tures like crazy.
As he posed for one with
the stage behind him and a
huge grin on his face, it
was clear that I made the
right decision.
He was completely enam-
ored by what he was wit-
that we had another metal-
head in the family, and the
earlier disappointment I felt
faded and made way for
pride as I watched my little
brother give the horns.
All the autographs or
bragging rights in the
world can’t top that first
concert feeling. Sometimes,
when the best laid plans go
awry, it can often be for
the best, as it simply makes
way for other opportunities.
Or, in this case, it forces
you to see the one in front
of you the entire time.
Thanks, Lajon.

the opportunity to talk to
Lajon Witherspoon, the lead
singer of heavy metal act
Sevendust, I was beyond
thrilled. Here is a band I
had listened to since I was
about 14 years old, and
their music had gotten me
through some rough times
throughout my life.
After seeing them several
times in concert, it was
surreal to have their singer
only a phone call away.
We ended up talking for
about 20 minutes, and he
was as nice and accommo-
dating as I expected him to
be. He was humbled by any

to secure two tickets, just
in case.
My cynicism was not
unfounded. The day of the
show, I left a voicemail
message for Lajon as well
as a text, but received no
response. As a last ditch
effort, I contacted the tour
manager and asked if there
was any possibility of this
happening, but he said that
security was only allowing
about 10 people backstage
and they were already over
their limit.
Either Lajon hadn’t
checked his phone or he
just didn’t want to let me

was fine by me. Maybe I

OSCOW – Four of the most
impressive streaks in Lacka-
wanna County high school
sports continued Monday when the Val-
ley View boys and Abington Heights
girls claimed Lackawanna Track Con-
ference Division 1 titles.
Valley View won its 41st straight con-
ference meet and sixth straight division
title with an 87-63 victory over host
North Pocono.
Valley View’s Mike Fazio leads North Pocono runners Paul Almedia, right, and DeShaun Boone in the 200 meter race on
Monday at North Pocono.
Abington Heights extended its
streaks to 31 meets and five cham-
pionships with a 114-36 rout at De-
laware Valley.
Winning championships is busi-
ness as usual for the Cougars and
Lady Comets, but this season’s ti-
tle had extra significance for Valley
View, which returned to Division 1
after winning five straight titles in
Division 2.
“It was a lot more special,” Val-
ley View coach Brian Kearney said.
“Not taking away from any other
year, but it was special moving up
and being able to win our division
anyway.”
North Pocono was the defend-

ing Division 1 champion and en-
tered the regular-season finale un-
defeated and tied for the lead.
The Cougars quickly establish-
ed control by winning the first sev-
en events on the track, including
two relays, one of which was a
school record time of 8:12.7 by
Ryan Campbell, Aaron Wilkinson,
Jordan Siddons and Brandon Bed-
nash in the 3200.
Valley View opened a 51-22 lead
before North Pocono won on the

ALEVILLE – North
Pocono’s hopes of a
fourth Wyoming
Valley Conference boys’ vol-
leyball title in the last five
seasons took a major hit
Thursday night, but the
way the Trojans rallied after
a rough start against Holy
Redeemer shows that they
still are a serious threat to
win a fifth straight District 2
Class AA championship.
The Trojans won their first 11
matches before falling to the
Royals, 25-13, 28-26, 17-25, 25-22
in the showdown between the
last two unbeatens in the confer-
ence.
“Without a doubt, as a new
coach coming in, I wanted to
keep the continuity and keep ev-
erything together, and we did
that,” said Bill Kline, who was
named to replace Chris Summa
just before the start of preseason
practice. “I was around the pro-
gram because my son (Will) was
on the JV team, so I knew what
was here.
“We had no different expecta-
tions than to be where we were
going into tonight. I was very
confident in the boys and they
have responded.”
Although they could not pull
out a win, the Trojans even had a
response to Holy Redeemer’s
blazing start in which the Royals
seemed to win every battle at
the net while opening a 22-9
lead. North Pocono won more
points the rest of the way (77-
73) but was unable to get those
that it needed to close out wins
in the second and fourth games.
“After Game One, we went
toe-to-toe with them,” Kline
said.
North Pocono had a 9-4 lead
early in Game Two, lost the ad-
vantage, then had it back with a
chance at the winning point
twice.
Pete Alexis, a 6-foot-11 Penn
State basketball recruit, had the
kills that prevented the Trojans
from clinching after leads of 24-
23 and 26-25.
Holy Redeemer’s Peter Alexis hits the ball over North Pocono’s
Brent Bisignani, left, and Dom Verdetto, Thursday night at Poco-
no High School.
North Pocono made him
work, but Alexis finished with
24 kills.
The Trojans led, 23-9, in
Game Three but had to fight off
a rally that slowed their momen-
tum some going into what
proved to be the final game.
Cory Hannon served five
straight points for a 21-18 North
Pocono lead in Game Four, but
Alexis had three more late kills,
including on the deciding point.
Holy Redeemer had a big
week, first beating Coughlin,
which started the week in third
place, then breaking the tie at
the top.
“We were looking at this en-
tire week: Coughlin Monday
and North Pocono Thursday,”
Alexis said. “When you looked
at it, everything about the sea-
son built up to these two match-
es.”
Robert Wingert had a strong
all-around game for the Royals
with 39 assists, 14 service
points, six kills and four blocks.
Dom Verdetto had 10 kills and
Sunday, May 8, 2011

seven blocks for North Pocono.
Ryan Rinaldi had 20 assists,
three kills and four blocks. Tim
Cummings had seven kills,
three digs and 10 service points.
Matt Bartkowski had five kills
and three digs. Hannon had 12
service points.
“We’re going to see them
again,” Kline said. “This was a
league match.
“The next time we face them
is going to be a bit more impor-
tant, in districts.”
Holy Redeemer’s toughest re-
maining league challenge is
with Abington Heights, which
moved into third place at 10-2
with a pair of wins. The Royals
host the Comets May 17.
The latest win for Abington
Heights was 25-17, 24-26, 25-15,
25-23 over Dallas Thursday.
Drew Shumaker had 11 kills
and three digs, Andy McLane
had 10 service points and nine
kills and Eric Wasser had 35 as-
sists and 15 service points for
the Comets.

Orr to play
bigger role
S ON CAMPUS
ophomore Emily Orr
(Abington Heights) is
pitching for the Fairfield
softball team, which is currently
28-18 overall and leading the
Metro Atlantic Athletic Confer-
ence with a 10-2 mark.
Orr, a left-hander, has a 2-1
record with a 3.41 earned run
average. In 12.1 innings, she’s
given up 17 hits and six runs, all
earned. She’s walked five and
struck out seven.
The highlight of the season
was a five-inning no-hitter in an
8-0 non-league victory over Hart-
ford. A second-inning walk cost
her a perfect game.
“Emily has become a strong
competitor this spring,” coach
Julie Brzezinski said. “I honestly
consider her a ‘pitcher’ and not
just someone who pitches. She
knows the game and her oppo-
nents’ weaknesses and uses her
off speed pitches to keep them
off balance.”
Orr is one of four pitchers
behind senior standout Sarah
Minice.
“Emily has been limited as the
duties after Minice has been
streamed out,” Brzezinski said.
“Next year, however, she will be
one of three pitchers and we are
really looking forward to her
continued improvement with all
facets of her pitching game.”
DOYLE NAILS HER SHOT
April Doyle picked the perfect
place to set the school record in
the shot put – in the Penn Relays.
Doyle (Lakeland) is a sopho-
more at Kutztown University and
one of the top performers in the
weights with the women’s track
team.
At the 177th Penn Relays,
which drew close to 20,000 high
school and college athletes and
drew over 100,000 fans, Doyle
finished third in the Eastern
College Division on opening day
last Thursday. Her 46-4 effort is a
Kutztown record, the top throw
in the PSAC and 13th best in the
country in Division II, an NCAA
Sophomore pitcher Emily Orr is expected to play a more significant
role on next season’s Fairfield softball team.

provisional effort.
“It’s awesome and the best
feeling ever to set a school record
at the Penn Relays,” Doyle said.
“I had a lot of adrenaline during
the event. Everybody was cheer-
ing and clapping so that added to
the excitement. When I let my
first throw of the finals go, it felt
almost perfect and I knew it
would be a personal best when I
let it go.”
Doyle traveled to Shippens-
burg last Saturday for the Paul
Kaiser Invitational and won the
shot (45-2), finished second in
the discus (128-6) and had a
ARTS
personal best in the hammer to
finish fourth (143-8).
She will compete in the PSAC
Championships next weekend in
Slippery Rock. She was named
Freshman of the Year in last
year’s meet after finishing first in
the shot (44-2), 10th in the discus
(108-09) and 15th in the hammer
(132-10). She’s improved on all
three marks this season.
STINE IN THE RUNNING
Albright senior Gabby Stine
(Valley View) is competing in the
Middle Atlantic Conference Out-
door Track Championships this
weekend.
“Gabby has qualified in the
3000 meter steeplechase,” coach
Deneen Ebling said. “I also ex-
pect her to run a leg of the 4x800
relay.”
The versatile Stine has career
marks in the 800 (2:42.27), the
SPORTS
1500 (5:25.88), the 5000
(21:43.39) and the mile (6:03.40).
She prepped for the MAC meet
by posting a 1500 time of 5:37.29
in the Paul Kaiser Classic at
Shippensburg.
“Gabby continues to be a quiet
leader on the team and strives to
improve her performances,”
Ebling said.

Chapman and freshmen Isabelle
Clauss, Erin Jaeger, Missy Burke
and Jen Burke were all prominent in
Thursday’s title.
The Jordan Relays, with their
56-year history, is one of the area’s
most prestigious events.
With field athletes sitting out and
without a league title on the line or
the combination of district titles and
state qualifying berths at stake, it
does not, however, have the implica-
tions of the meets that are ahead at
Scranton Memorial Stadium.
That allows the event to have
different meaning to different teams

Valley View is about to see if it can
move up from Class AA to Class
AAA champion on the district level
after moving from Division 2 to
Division1champion in the LTC
regular season.
“Being on this track for the first
time this year gives the kids a look at
some of the competition they’re
going to face,” Valley View coach
Brian Kearney said. “Even though
it’s just relays, it gives you some
idea.”

AA titles, has at its base the strength

Lake not only took the first-place
Class AA points, it also beat the
winning Class AAA team in half of
the six boys’ races and one of the
girls’ events – both1600 medleys,
plus the distance medley and 3200
relay on the boys’ side.
“We wanted to come down here
and make a statement,” Squier said.
“We haven’t had a chance to run
against the Division1and 2 teams.

know that we’re running up there,
too.”

We want you to know that you can feel good about the future of
healthcare in Scranton and Northeast Pennsylvania – because the
future is brighter for you, your family and our community.
Mercy Scranton, Mercy Tyler and Mercy Special Care are now affiliated
with Community Health Systems, Inc, one of the
nation's leading operators of acute care hospitals. As part of this
relationship these facilities join a broad network of 11 other hospitals
in Pennsylvania. One change you'll notice today is the renaming of the
hospitals to Regional Hospital of Scranton, Tyler Memorial Hospital,
and Special Care Hospital. While the names have changed the spirit of
compassion established by the Sisters of Mercy will continue.
This new relationship will allow us not only to continue providing

quality care in the community, but also keep jobs right here at home.
In fact, our local hospitals and economy will benefit from at least
$68 million for upgrading services and facilities over the next five years.
The employees, physicians, and volunteers throughout the Scranton,
Tunkhannock and Nanticoke areas now have the opportunity to learn
what more than 80,000 other healthcare professionals across the
country already know – they are part of a national organization
dedicated to creating great places for people to work, physicians to
practice medicine, and patients to receive care.
Looking to the future, we will work diligently to continue to earn your
trust and support. The outlook for healthcare really is brighter for our
communities, so let’s all take a minute to smile together.
