West Scranton resident Mark Denne-

I couldnt do the things that I knew we could do where we were at, so we had to grow. My whole phi-

Council prepares response to mayors lawsuit

SCRANTON The Lackawanna County Court of Common Pleas set a hearing date of Aug. 3 for Mayor Chris Dohertys lawsuit against City Council on June 28, giving council until July 16 to respond to the ongoing legislative battle over the citys Revised Recovery Plan. Giving council and the public a brief account of the hearing during councils regular meeting later that evening, Council Solicitor Boyd Hughes said City Solicitor Paul Kelly, Jr. came prepared to present Dohertys case, but Judge Robert Mazzoni said the only purpose of the meeting was to establish a date for council to answer the petition. (The lawsuit) raises substantial Constitutional issues. I will be presenting preliminary objections to this complaint. I wont state exactly what they are tonight. It will be filed and I believe that our position will be meritorious and have this unfounded complaint dismissed, Hughes stated. Hughes added that Mazzoni himself said he had doubts about the validity of the lawsuit and did not know if the request to force a legislative body to legislate was appropriate. Doherty said in June 22 phone interview that he felt a lawsuit was the only option left to force councils supermajority of President Janet Evans, Vice President Frank Joyce, Pat Rogan, and Jack Loscombe to pass a revised plan. Evans said last week that negotiations were moot when Doherty filed the suit, particularly after months of meetings about the plan resulted in a document that did not reflect councils input. The lawsuit explains that in order for the city to secure $9,850,000 in unfunded borrowing from M&T Bank, a mandatory contingency on approval of the loan is the passage of a Revised Recovery Plan, which would prove the citys future financial stability. The mayors plan includes an increase in real estate tax millage rates by 29 percent in 2013, 20 percent in 2014, and 15 percent in 2015 to eliminate the remaining projected deficits for a total of a 64 percent increase over the next three years with a one percent increase in the non-resident earned income tax. This is unequivocally not a personal fight between the mayor and council or the mayor and me, as some have suggested. This is purely about you, the people. We dont want you to lose your homes and

Unions ask council and mayor to settle differences, negotiate Revised Recovery Plan
TENSIONS RUN HIGH
SCRANTON CITY COUNCIL
SCRANTON Is this problem fixable or is there no hope? Sam Vitris, president of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local 2305, asked City Council. The answer the representative of the citys Department of Public Works received was not one containing much of the latter. After receiving a letter from Mayor Chris Doherty on June 27 informing them that union employees will be paid minimum wage ($7.25/hr.) beginning July 6 due to the citys financial state, Vitris joined Fraternal Order of Police E.B. Jermyn Lodge 2 President Bob Martin, International Association of Fire Fighters Local 60 President John Judge IV, and IAMAW Local 2462 President Eileen Hurchick of the clerical union on June 28 in publicly asking council to sit down and negotiate with the mayor regarding the citys Revised Recovery Plan. At such time the financial situation is cured and adequate funds become available, all employees will be paid the balance of their regular hourly rate, Doherty wrote, adding that voluntary deductions such as AFLAC and New York Life will be temporarily suspended as well. The letter comes on the heels of a lawsuit Doherty filed on June 21 against council in the hopes of forcing them to pass the revised plan. Without a plan, he said the city cannot secure $9,850,000 in unfunded borrowing from M&T Bank, which is requiring the plan as assurance that the money will be and can be repaid. Council refused to

place the plan on the agenda, saying their suggestions were not included after months of negotiation. I dont think its fair to have all the employees making minimum wage, Vitris told council. You know how important it is when you negotiate a contract to see those contracts through until the next one. Its important to us that if theres a way to stop this, we do. Assuring council that employees would still show up for work, the union heads clarified that their respective groups do not support the mayors plan and proposed total tax increases of 78 percent and agree with councils position, but they still want both parties to meet. We do not support any monstrous, unbearable tax increase. Not at all. We just want a workable, viable Recovery Plan, Martin said. Judge said there needs to
be cooperation between council and the mayor, but he does not trust the mayors word, citing a recent agreement signed by himself, Doherty, and Councilman Jack Loscombe that would ultimately settle the 2011 Supreme Court decision in favor of the citys public safety unions for less than half of what is owed. The Department of Community and Economic Development, however, he said would not sign off on the deal, and he feels that the mayor is using this to pressure council into passing a plan. DCED is holding this hostage literally holding this hostage, much like theyre holding the city hostage and (council) hostage to drive a Recovery Plan. I was told specifically, in no uncertain terms by the mayor, quid pro quo his words exactly. You help me get a Recovery Plan and youll have your deal.
Thats a bunch of crap, Judge said. I feel like Im being used as a pawnYou do what you need to do for the welfare of this city If the banking community wants a Recovery Plan, heres $15 million well save you right now if youre looking for some recovery. Council President Janet Evans said she received an email earlier that day from Atty. Thomas Jennings, who represented the police and fire unions in the case, that verified Judges comments. Jennings wrote that the agreement would have achieved labor peace for the foreseeable future and saved the citizens somewhere in the area of $15 million, which he said marks the second time that DCED has prevented the city from resolving its issues.

Creating a safer West Scranton

DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@golackawanna.com
he West Scranton Hyde Park Neighborhood Watch is hoping to widen its watchful eye onto area businesses. The Neighborhood Watch held an informational Business Watch luncheon on Thursday, June 28, at Villa Maria II, 1610 Washburn St.
Modeled after Neighborhood Watch, Business Watch takes the neighbors looking out for neighbors concept to the commercial level, creating a partnership between business, law enforcement, and other organizations that represent business interests. This is such a tremendous opportunity for people, said Scranton Police Chief Dan Duffy, who was on hand for the meeting to outline some of the benefits forming a group like this would have for business owners and the city. Number one benefitits additional information that will be fed into the Police Department. The watch would enable business owners to take an active part in preventing and reducing crime by sharing information, raising awareness and improving communication. Duffy explained that there are residents who may feel more comfortable sharing information with a business owner rather than the police. Business owners will then have the option of supplying information

to the police anonymously. Another benefit is having a group will get everyone in the same room at the same time, to voice their concerns. You can have one person whos the president of the association. For instance, Karin (Foster, Neighborhood Watch president) is in contact with me probably on a daily basis, sometimes more, said Duffy. Whether it be through emails, text messages, phone calls, and she speaks pretty much on behalf of the residents of West Scranton. Feedback like this can help Duffy
tailor the Police Department to have a more positive impact on the businesses. If formed, the group would also be a businesses association for the area. The purpose of the meeting was to provide business owners with the information and to gauge their interest. If interested in starting the group, business owners have the option of beginning it on their own or forming under the umbrella of the West Scranton Hyde Park Neighborhood Watch. Forming under the umbrella
could speed up the process, and Foster said she would be willing to work with the group . It was pointed out that this would mean more work for Foster, whos already busy with the Neighborhood Watch, but she said she doesnt mind. It was my ultimate goal to bring West Side back to what we remember its heyday was, and will be again, said Foster. The formation of the Business Watch under the Neighborhood Watchs umbrella would also help the Neighborhood Watch get one step closer toward West Scranton
receiving Elm Street Community status. Jill Murrin, of the United Neighborhood Centers of Northeastern Pennsylvania, explained that The Elm Street Project is a designation that you get through the states Department of Community and Economic Development. The Elm Street Project specifically revitalizes a neighborhood thats adjacent to a downtown area. If West Scranton is approved, it would have a positive effect on area businesses. For businesses, the benefit for you guys would be we would get grants that we would use to improve sidewalks, for example, on Main Avenue, said Neighborhood Watch member Tom Borthwick. Those in attendance seemed interested in the idea and scheduled a second meeting. The Elm Street Project, with the availability to refurbish properties in the West Side, I think is a great idea. Plus, it brings a little pride back to West Side thats been lacking for years because of the deterioration. And like Chief Duffy said, it will help in the law enforcement end of it, and it will be a good thing for everybody, said Carl Savino of Carl J. Savino Jr. Funeral Home. The Business Watchs next meeting will be held at Villa Maria II, 1610 Washburn St., Scranton, on Monday, July 9, at 7 p.m. What the business owners want to see out of the program and what will be the most beneficial to them will be discussed at the meeting.

By DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@golackawanna.com
The Northeast Detachment Marine Corps League Museum in Scranton is open to the public.
The headquarters was built in 1936 . One would think that being located in a structure thats been around as long as the detachments headquarters would make a majority of the area aware of the museum, but Northeast Detachment Marine Corps League Commandant Joel Sofranko said thats not the case. We always kid that were the best-kept secret in Scranton, said Sofranko. People just dont know were here, no matter what we do to get the word out that
were here, when people come up here they go, I didnt know this was here, I live right down the streetthis is amazing, they say. The museum officially began in 1987, but its origins go back a few years before that when detachment member Gerald Maus started making dioramas depicting the Marine Corps engagements in the countrys conflicts over the years. Jerry Maus, Ill call him young Jerry, he was the Marine (and) this was his hobby. Young Jerry started putting
things together upstairs, said West Scranton resident Nick Dunkailo. He was putting things together and started doing more and more and more and (they) built up. The dioramas consist of hand-painted figurines, equipment, handcrafted trees, grass, jungle water and surroundings. Maus used historical data and actual photographs to try and ensure authenticity. He didnt just throw something together and say thats

Who offers 5,700 square feet of warehouse space where you can rehearse as a band, where you can build a soundstage, where you can have a green screen, where you have a theater? Who offers that? Dennebaum asked excitedly. You can record your album and make it sound like a national, international, professional recording. You want to press a CD? You can have a band photograph taken professionally. A CD cover designed professionally. A music video, an (electronic press kit) all made professionally under one roof, and youre working with the same people that are going to understand you, that get you, that know what angle you want to come in at. Its all right here, and thats just music, McDermott added. If youre a business and you want to re-brand, it all applies. Its interchangeable. No matter what creative service you need, its all here The public is kind of disappointed in what they see when it goes to commercial or when theyre flipping through a magazine or local bands that can only afford a CD-R and something from Staples. Were just trying to show people theres another way to do it. As artists themselves, they also hope to give back to the local creative community by hosting intimate, unplugged, invite-only events for bands and implementing a theatrical space for actors and playwrights, among other projects. Its circular. Well have the most creative people in the area centralized here. Businesses want creative work done for them, they support us, meaning we can support the artists, meaning they get support, McDermott explained. This support will be taken to a whole new level when they follow two northeast Pennsylvania-based bands, Underground Saints and Farley, overseas on July 7 to Scrantons Irish sister city, Ballina, in the County of Mayo, where they will be playing in front of an estimated 200,000 people at the River Moy Salmon Fes-

tival during a week-long mini-tour of pubs and concert venues. Seeing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Dennebaum convinced the musicians to allow TwentyFiveEight to film their journey live and uncut, shooting about 500 to 600 minutes a day despite not knowing the band members very well. Theyre two great bands. Why not be a part of that, just the human journey of it? Its something true and honest and something to do with music. How could you lose? Dennebaum said. We want to come back with the most honest, most entertaining documentary about American music and the American struggle of an artist, but take you on one hell of a ride into the unknown, McDermott continued. There are variables about this trip that we dont know. We know our accommodations are taken care of we dont know what that means. We could be in a hotel. We could be in someones basement. We dont knowI cant speak for the band, but for us, this is exciting, and its something that I think needs to be captured. Taking cues from rock documen-
taries like U2s Rattle and Hum, Metallicas Some Kind of Monster, and Bob Dylans Dont Look Back, the crew will take a fly on the wall approach and hope to capture all the drama of touring in unfamiliar territory. When the movie is finished, they plan to send it out to film festivals in September along with creating a Blu-ray containing at least two hours of bonus features, full performances, and deleted scenes. An original soundtrack containing two exclusive songs from both bands is also being crafted along with live recordings of every show on the tour. I think weve legitimized ourselves in other areas, but I think that this one project is going to legitimize us in so many other different aspects of what we do. That is my hope, and that is my dream, Dennebaum related Its just really exciting. For the first time in my life, I feel like Im almost at a point where I can write my own ticket and help other people write theirs. Thats the only reason were doing this. As the bands noisily practice in the background, the pair that started
Tim McDermott works on a promotional video for Scranton StorySlam.
TwentyFiveEight two years ago marvel at their new space but contend that their mission remains the same. Its not the start, because weve been doing this, but moving into here feels like something new, and its going to be something big, McDermott emphasized. Tim doesnt want to drive a Lexus. I dont want to drive a Mercedes. Im totally fine with an SUV. I dont need gold watches. I dont need
fancy suits, Dennebaum listed. We just want to be happy and make a living at it. Every time that we do something that somebody trusts us to do, its the most rewarding experience, at least for me, that Ive had in years. TwentyFiveEight Productions is located at 703 N.

Donato Carl Telesca, 84, of Old Forge, died Tuesday morning, June 26, 2012. He was preceded in death by his wife of 44 years, Mary Pearl Magnani Telesca, in 2004. Born in Dunmore, son of the late Canio and Mary Greco Telesca, he graduated from Old Forge High School and attended Penn State Worthington and the University of Scranton, where he studied business and engineering. Donato began his long career in the plastics industry as an "office boy" at Consolidated Molded Products and worked his way up to sales engineer. He then worked for a number of other plastics firms including Auburn Plastics and Southern Tier Plastics. When Consolidated Molded Products closed, Donato and Pearl, along with their partners, Ned and Marlene Evans, seized the opportunity. They bought equipment at auction and in 1982 founded Northeastern Plastics, where Don served as president until his passing. Don was a member and former president of the Society of Plastics Engineers. With owning a business, Don often commented that he was the president of Northeastern Plastics from Monday through Friday and the janitor on Saturday. Any phone call to the plant on a Saturday would be answered with the sound of jazz blaring in the background. While the plastics industry was Donatos vocation, his avocation was music. Don, a bass player, was a proud member of the musicians unions in both Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. He played with the Gene Dempsey Orchestra among others. Don and Pearl met when he was playing with a big band at Freds in Old Forge. vy; sister, Joan and Bob Jones; five grandchildren and two greatgrandchildren.

He often told his daughters that it helped pay for their educations. His bass was also part of the dcor in the Telesca home, prominently displayed in the living room. Don was a longstanding member of Glen Oak Country Club where he enjoyed his friendships as much as golf. A man of strong convictions, Don frequently aired his opinions in letters to the editor that were printed in local newspapers. Family and friends will remember Don for his humor, his April Fools Day pranks, his love of fine food, wine, the performing arts, and for his generosity. He will also be remembered for his competitive nature and unique way of expressing himself on the golf course. The family would like to thank Dr. Ken Sebastianelli, Dr. Bruce Saidman, and the staff at Hospice Community Care.

side High School graduate Taylor Donahue. Cutting teachers is so obtuse that I am unable to find any reason that justifies it. Donahue offered examples of several cuts she felt that the district could have made to avoid furloughing teachers, including transportation and new technology. In all sincerity, we have looked everywhere, replied Bennie. And, we think what were doing is the most responsible way to move forward and address the challenges that loom ahead. After the meeting, Bennie pointed out that several members of administration, including Superintendent Woods, volunteered to take a salary freezes to help cut costs and avoid furloughs. During the meeting, Bennie said that if the teachers had agreed to a salary freeze, furloughs would have been able to be avoided. Riverside Teachers Association President Paula Bartkovsky said the district agreed in writing to not recommend furloughs if the Association agreed to a salary freeze, but would not guarantee there wouldnt be furloughs in writing. After listening to everyone in attendance, the budget was approved by a vote of 7-2 with board members Carol Armstrong and Shannon Powell Cosminski voting against it. The budget does avoid a tax increase, keeping taxes at 101.82 mills. Avoiding the increase is something that will help many in the area , but some in attendance during the meeting said dealing with the increase was a sacrifice they were willing to make if it could have helped avoid the furloughs. I would say the worst possible thing to do would be to eliminate jobs, said Taylor resident Eugene Gallagher after the meeting. Its not a popular thing to do, but raising taxes could have been an option if you raise them just slightly you may have been able to save some positions tonight. It boils down to what is more important, the education of our young people or the masses of people who are out there struggling daily? To me, I really just think education of our young people is the most important thing.

Joel Sofranko and Nick Dunkailo joke that the Northeast Detachment Marine Corps League Museum is the best kept secret in Scranton.
DISCOVERED
it, said Dunkailo. He researched a lot of stuff, and then he built. Some of the dioramas even feature materials from the various periods of conflict. For example, sand from the beach of Iwo Jima is used in the World War II diorama of Iwo Jima. The Iwo Jima diorama is also unique in that it is the only diorama that remained on the first floor of the detachments headquarters after the museum was moved to the lower level and the Leatherneck Lounge, a meeting area for the detachment, was moved to the upper level. The several other dioramas that Maus built and donated, which include scenes from World War I, World War II, the Korean War and Vietnam War, are displayed chronologically throughout the museum, and begin with a diorama of Tun Tavern. Tun Tavern was where the Marine Corps originated, said Sofranko.
What they use to do back in the day, they use to stop in for some rum, and they got together and decided they wanted to form a Marine Corps. The first commissioned officer (Samuel Nicholas) was also the owner of Tun Tavern. He was a captain, added Pat Tobin. Tobin and other members of the detachment lead those interested through the museum, offering tidbits like this about the dioramas and the other Marine Corps artifacts on display throughout the museum. Rich Kane, he actually dresses up in his utilities from the (1950s) and gives it a little nostalgic look for the kids, said Joel. Touches like Kanes clothing for the children in attendance, along with detailed historical accounts that the guides can offer, have helped the museum broaden its appeal to all ages. Dunkailo said the tour has something to offer everyone from grandchildren to grandparents, and it gives those in attendance a sense of the Marine Corps history and a look into what it is physically like to be a Marine.
Ill bring one of the rifles out of the gun cabinet, and we always use M1 (rifles) for our ceremonial details, and I show the kids, said Sofranko. They dont realize how heavy that M1 is, its nine and a half pounds. And you let one of those kids hold it, and theyre like, Holy cow, and I try to explain to them you know these guys carried this M1 every minute of their lives. They enjoy the tour, and they get a better understanding of what military service is, added Tobin. The museum doesnt have set hours, but it is available to view by appointment. In addition to private tours, the group also caters to school and camp trips. Those unable to make a set appointment are encouraged to stop by the detachments headquarters on Friday nights, when the Leatherneck Lounges bar is open for business.

And the taxpayers of this city need to band together and run them right out of this town, and the mayor and City Council need to insist that DCED has nothing to say about this agreement, Evans commented, adding that elected officials, rather than appointed officials, should be making the citys decisions. I think its time that the city tells them, Get lost, and we do our own deal, Council Solicitor Boyd Hughes agreed. Vitris acknowledged the past issues between council and the mayor but continued to ask that they settle the matter before pay cuts were necessary. The ball, as I said, is in the mayors court, Evans said. The ball is in all of our courts, Vitris replied. If he wants to talk with five council members, this is the only venue in which it can happen because of the Sunshine Act, so if that pleases him, we can do this publicly. If not, he needs to put pen to paper, call

their unprecedented efforts in seeking and achieving what could have been a mutually satisfactory agreement on these complex issues. I am at a complete loss to understand DCEDs rationale in executing an effective veto of these efforts, Jennings continued in the e-mail, read aloud by Evans. They have no concern for
his friends at DCED and (the Pennsylvania Economy League), and get this straightened out right away. Its up to him, Evans insisted. Were all in this together. All the people of this city are in this. We need to get on with this, Vitris said. I sympathize with all the workers who do a very good job and show up each and every day, but weve got to remember the bottom line here is that 78 percent-plus tax increase, and council is not rolling over for it, Sam, Evans responded.
blacken your credit ratings because you cant pay monstrous tax increases, Evans said Thursday. While Doherty blamed council for including unfunded borrowing in the 2012 budget, making the Recovery Plan a necessity, Evans said that the administration advised council to borrow and they agreed in the spirit of cooperation. Councilman Bob McGoff, who was excluded from the lawsuit because he was the lone dissenting vote against councils 2012 budget and the override of the mayors veto, said councils recent actions have made banking institutions skeptical of the citys finances. Saying that many of councils suggestions for the Recovery Plan were not backed up by hard numbers, he also rebutted councils claim that many of councils suggestions were not included in the mayors plan, though Evans said they were included as optional alternatives, not requirements and were not implemented in plan in their entirety. There are two decision-makers in this city right now the mayor the council president and this problem is not going to be resolved until the two decision-makers get together and make those decisions that are necessary for the well-being of the city, McGoff said. Evans argued that it was not as easy as it sounded, citing past negotiations that fell through at the eleventh hour, including just before the first time Doherty sued council in 2010 when they attempted to trim the 2010 budget by $694,986 after it had already been adopted by the previous council majority. Mazzoni ruled in favor of the mayor. Perhaps the best and fairest solution is to allow the taxpayers of Scranton to vote on the mayors Recovery Plan in the next election, particularly since (the Department of Economic and Community Development) and (the Pennsylvania Economy League) dont want any public input regarding this particular plan. They seem to think that the Act 47 process doesnt need to be followed at this time for this select Revised Recovery Plan, Evans said, referring to required public hearings and comment sessions before adoption of a plan.

Giving new life to a piece of history

It began with a discovery of cardboard boxes in the basement of the Albright Memorial Library with the word Poetry scribbled in Magic Marker. Inside the boxes were 10 inch film reels in black cases with the hand-written names of famous poets like W.S. Merwin and Gary Snyder. After a little research, the mystery was cleared up. From 1978 through 2001, the Friends of the Scranton Public Library Poetry Series brought nationally renowned poets to the Scranton area for readings and many of those readings were filmed. There was only one problem -the library no longer had the equipment to view the film reels. It is a lesson in how formats change over time and how historic information is lost as a result, said Scott Thomas, the librarys head of information technologies. The library received funding from the Scranton Area Foundation to restore the original reels and convert them to a format that can be accessed by modern technology. The foundation had funded some of the original readings over three decades ago. When we approached them, we didnt know they had funded some of the readings, because, ironically, we could not view the reels, said Thomas. The restoration project focused on two components. First, DVD copies of readings by 42 poets were produced and are now available at the Albright Memorial Library, the Weinberg Memorial Library at the University of Scranton, and the libraries at Marywood University, Lackawanna College and Keystone College. In addition, the readings are being streamed from the Lackawanna Valley Digital Archives (www.lackawannadigitalarchives.org). In the online collection, you can also

view posters that were designed to publicize the original readings. The restoration project also involved producing high quality master files. Right now we cant view the film reels. DVDs will go away and so, eventually, will the digital formats we now use to stream videos on the Internet, said Thomas. We wanted a pristine copy so, in the future, we can convert it to whatever format comes next. We dont want to lose this important piece of American literary history. As David Elliott, professor of English at Keystone College and one of the organizers of the original series, is quick to point out, Thomass last statement is not idle exaggeration. Eleven of the poets who read in the series had won or would go on to win a Pulitzer Prize. Seven would go on to be U.S. Poet Laureate including Scranton native, W.S. Merwin. The styles of poetry and the performances themselves are rich and varied. Gary Snyder mixes an interest in Zen Buddhism and a concern for the environment with cheeky childrens songs. Robert Bly plays the lute and shares the stage with a classical Indian dancer. There is an edgy performance by Etheridge Knight and a dignified performance by coal business owner William Bronk who begins his reading, appropriately enough, with a poem about coal. To view the poetry readings, visit the Lackawanna Valley Digital Archives at www.lackawannadigitalarchives.org or check out a DVD copy at the Albright Memorial Library.

Going organic without breaking the bank

As a mom, I am very conscious of what I am feeding my children. Of course, when I had my first, almost six years ago, I bought everything organic from the formula to organic baby food and even made most of my baby food from organic products. As my grocery bill began to double, I started slacking with buying only organic. After my second child was born, I tried to get back into the organics and for awhile was doing pretty good, but again it was putting a strain on my wallet and thats really when I began couponing. I look at the money that I save from couponing as a way to splurge a little on organics, but with three mouths to fill now, I have looked into alternative ways to buy organic without hurting my monthly grocery budget. A few weeks ago I ran across an article published by the Environmental Working Group, in which there mission is to use the power of public information to
DEAL DETECTIVE
JENNA URBAN
protect public health and the environment. The article was title "Shoppers Guide to Pesticides in Produce" but what caught my eye was the category, the Dirty Dozen. These are 12 produce items that are recommended by EWG to buy organic due to the amount of pesticide residues, or in other words the amount of dirt. They are apples, celery, sweet bell peppers, peaches, strawberries, nectarines, grapes, spinach, lettuce, cucumbers, blueberries and potatoes. This prompted me to revisit the idea of going fully organic. I realize that organic prices are higher, but this year I have decided to save money by growing my own garden. I know its late in the season, but it actually worked out better
for me because many of the plants were marked down and packs of seeds are only a dollar. If this is your first garden, dont bite off more than you can chew. Think about three vegetables that are most important to you, or that you would save the most money. For me, I know that lettuces, green beans and squash were three items that we tend to eat a lot of during the summer. Purchase plants that are already started or buy quality seeds for products that will not require weeks to grow. I was able to get over a dozen plants and three packs of seeds for about $11. According to my grocery budget, I will save about $10 to $15 a week (thats almost $40 a month) for the small investment of $25 I spent on plants, soil and fertilizer. Soon we will be eating organic without having to spend a lot at the grocery store. Do you have a garden? Share with us your thoughts at facebook.com/golackawanna

Toyota of Scranton sponsors bike ride

Normally, a last minute cancellation spells disaster for any organized event, and the Freedom Bike Ride for the Wounded Warrior Project was no exception. The bike ride, which took place June 26 through the 30, is over 200 miles and requires logistical support in the form of passenger vans to carry equipment, wheelchairs, and participants during the five day ride. However, a last minute cancellation left the project in serious trouble. Ride organizer First Sgt. Kevin Bittenbender approached Toyota of Scranton with a request for vehicle support. The ride starts at the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, D.C., proceeds to Leesburg, VA, from there on to Gettysburg, Carlisle, Mifflinburg before finally ending in Lewisburg. The participants, made up of wounded United State veterans and paralympians, utilize hand cycles to complete the ride. They left Mifflinburg on Saturday at 8 a.m. to arrive in Lewisburg for the 10 a.m. start of the Union County Fourth of July parade. The purpose of the ride is to raise awareness for the Wounded Warrior Project, the Challenged Athlete Foundation, and the US Paralympics.

MIRANDA LAMBERT
goes on the Record about women in country, MuttNation and being on stage
ountry music singer/songwriter Miranda Lambert has risen from a finalist on USA Networks Nashville Star to a platinum-
selling artist in just a few short years, but success hasnt changed the young artists connection to her music or her fans, as she expressed in an email interview with Go Lackawanna in advance of her Saturday, July 7 concert at the Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain in Moosic/Scranton. Go Lackawanna: For many young musicians, music is a rebellion from
their parents or the life they grew up in, but you worked closely with your father to help launch your career and your music. Why did you take that approach and how did that affect the music you created? Miranda Lambert: I grew up around music, and I knew from a young age it was something I wanted to pursue as a career. My family listened to everything from Motown
to southern rock to hardcore Texas country. My dad taught me to play guitar and write songs when I was a teenager, and he and my mom have always been my biggest supporters. He helped me understand that writing my own songs was the only way I would be able to say what I wanted to say at the beginning of my career. My

mom used to drive me around to radio stations in Texas to try and get them to play my music, and she is still the president of my fan club. Both of them have always encouraged me be a strong woman, to stay true to myself, and to follow my dreams. GL: Do you feel it is easier for women to make it in the country music business than other genres of music or is it more challenging? ML: Country music is being more fully embraced by a wider audience than ever before thanks to great entertainers that are able to cross over and be showcased on all kinds of new media. This helped put a spotlight on our format. The mainstay women country artists are a continuous inspiration to me and push me to work harder, but I do think we need more women in the industry. This past year I released a record, Hell on Heels, with my new trio, Pistol Annies. My friends and fellow Annies, Angaleena Presley and Ashley Monroe, are incredible songwriters and singers, and ladies like them have a voice that needs to be heard. GL: What is it like for both you and your husband, Blake Shelton, to be in the same business? ML: I remember last year Blake and I were both on competing morning TV shows in New York City on the same day, and we got into a funny Twitter match about who would have the most viewers. We support each other whole-heartedly, but we like to have fun with it too! Music is our mutual passion, and we love sharing it with each other. Its great being in the same industry as your husband, as it helps us understand the demands on each others time. We can really encourage each other because weve each had our own unique career experiences. GL: What was the songwriting and recording process like on your latest album? Why did it only take five days to record? ML: After my last album, Revolution, I did a lot of songwriting with my friends Ashley Monroe and Angaleena Presley that ended up forming our debut album as Pistol Annies, Hell on Heels. Then for Four the Record, I was really inspired by a lot of other peoples music. I had a ton of songs picked out, some I had written and some I hadnt, but I had to narrow it down for the record. I wanted Four the Record to sound like a complete and cohesive piece of art, so I decided to stick with a similar short timeline of recording like I did with Revolution. I have worked with my producer, Frank Liddell, on all of my albums, and I trust his opinion in the studio. We always work together to find a sound that we both love; its a great collaboration with him and the musicians. I am at the point in my career where I feel more free to

try out different material and sounds. For each album, I let the music that I love at that point in my life be my guide. People naturally change a lot during their twenties, so my songs reflect that progression. I am still the feisty girl I was on Kerosene, so Angaleena Presley and I wrote my newest single, Fastest Girl in Town, for Four the Record, which sounds like it could have been on my first album. But I am incredibly happy right now and more settled, so I also wanted to have songs on this newest record like Safe and Oklahoma Sky that highlight those feelings. I think Four the Record is probably my most balanced look so far at the many facets of life. GL: What is it like working with two other singers in Pistol Annies, and how is it different from working on music for your solo career? ML: Ash and Ang and I naturally have strong, girl-power kind of personalities. When we first started writing together, all these words that most women want to say but never do just started pouring out of us. We knew the songs didnt quite fit with any of our solo projects, but we also felt they were too good to give away, so we created Pistol Annies and off we went. I love sharing the spotlight with my good friends. They are so beautiful and talented, and we focus on having fun and making music that really speaks to our country roots. Its hard to describe, so we just call it music for housewives. Were working on a second record hopefully to be released in 2013. GL: There are many organizations dedicated to aiding animals. Why, then, did you start the MuttNation Foundation, and what makes your organization special? ML: I love helping animals because they are amazing companions who cannot help themselves. I started MuttNation Foundation in 2009 to raise funds for abandoned and abused animals. I started raising money several years back for the Humane So-
ciety of East Texas, the shelter where I used to hang out and walk the dogs, which we have now been able to turn into a no-kill sanctuary. I have seven rescue dogs, two of them (Delta and Cher) travel with me on the road, but the others are too big to be on the bus with me full time, so its a cause thats very dear to my heart. I have annual concerts to raise funds for MuttNation. We just finished our 5th Annual Cause for the Paws in Beaumont, Texas, which was a blast. We try to help where its needed and are currently building a shelter in Tishom-
ingo, Okla., close to my farm. You can learn more about the foundation on its website (www.muttnationfoundation.com). And we recently started a Facebook page, so please go like it, and remember to love a shelter pet! GL: How has your current tour been going so far, and what can people expect from your upcoming performance in Scranton? ML: My On Fire tour is going great! My shows are always a mix of songs from all my albums plus some rocking cover songs. Its always exciting having new material though, so we will be incorporating a lot of songs from Four the Record during this tour. Fans can probably expect to hear my newest single, Fastest Girl In Town, but also my older hits like Gunpowder and Lead and The House That Built Me. My staging is all about enhancing the music and getting the crowd excited. We use screens in back with graphics reflecting the lyrics and energy of the songs, and I always love having part of the stage extend out into the pit in front, so I can be as close to the audience as possible. I cant wait to bring Little Big Town, Thomas Rhett, and Pistol Annies to rock out with our fans in Scranton.

Bruce Matthews, Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, Jerome Bettis, John Cappelletti and others. The two highlights of the auction were trips for two to be Munchaks guest for a Tennessee Titans game and to be John McNultys guest for an Arizona Cardinals game against the Philadelphia Eagles. McNulty, an Abington Heights and Penn State graduate, is an assistant with the Cardinals and was one of the players at the tournament. Aside from the positive reaction to the Country Club of Scranton both the prestigious course and the way the staff handled the dinner and auction the tournament continues to grow in other ways. Proceeds from the tournament have always gone directly to the United Way. One addition was made to the program this year. The Mike Munchak Community Service Scholarship was added for a graduating high school senior from Lackawanna or Wayne County. Philip Mosolino of Carbondale was the first recipient of the scholarship, which recognizes a student who has contributed at one of the sites that benefits from United Way. Mosolino volunteers at the Carbondale YMCA. He served as a coach and mentor to younger students and helped spearhead fundraising efforts. After graduating from Carbondale with a 98.3 average, Mosolino plans to study biology at Bloomsburg. Munchaks name is an appropriate one to have on a community service award. His lasting commitment to the charity golf tournament is a clear example why.
Mike Munchaks commitment and loyalty are unquestioned. Munchak fought through injuries to play 159 regularseason National Football League games in a Hall of Fame career. Every one of them was played for the Houston Oilers. As he prepares for the 20th season since his playing days ended, Munchak is still with the same franchise. The Scranton native is preparing for his second season as head coach with the Tennessee Titans. His entire coaching career has been spent with the franchise after moving with the team from Houston to Nashville. Munchaks loyalty to his hometown was on display this week. The 17th annual Mike Munchak Charity Golf Tournament was held Monday, June 25 at the Country Club of Scranton. The tournament has been such a success that part of the tournament dinner ceremonies included Munchak receiving a crystal award from the United Way of Lackawanna and Wayne Counties. The crystal award recognizes the tournament surpassing a $500,000 in donations to the United Way in its history with this years tournament. Mike is a Scranton boy who is committed to his community, said Liz Vincent, a campaign manager for the United Way, who organized the event with a golf committee made up of volunteers from the business community. Each year, Munchak plans the tournament for a time period he spends in the area with his family. He took the early summer break in Scranton before returning to Tennessee to try to get

the Titans ready for another move up in the standings. Last year, despite missing out on preparation time because of the lockout, Munchak improved the Titans from 6-10 to 9-7 in his first season in charge. The tournament was held at Stone Hedge near Tunkhannock with a dinner at Whistles in downtown Scranton through 2010 until Whistles closed. After a one-year stop at the Inn at Pocono Manor last year when a new site was needed on short notice, the tournament moved to the Country Club of Scranton this year.
Vincent said it brought a smile to her face each day when she drove past the billboard promoting the tournament with the notice sold out added. This is the first year we sold out and we sold out two months in advance, Vincent said. We also sold all our sponsorships. We had 137 golfers and more for our dinner and auction. In all, we drew almost 180. The change was such a boost to an already successful event that Vincent has committed to return there next year. Considering what is going on in the economy, I cant say
enough about the way the community rallied around this tournament, Vincent said. Many volunteers contribute to the success of such an event, but Munchak has been an admirable leader. Munchak brought one of his assistant coaches and gathered five foursomes worth of players from his Scranton-area friends. He contributes to the items that are part of the auctions at the dinner, helping to raise funds well beyond the $225 entry fees and sponsorships. The auction included sports memorabilia from Munchak,

All he does is work on the car. Despite missing two of the first eight races, Thornton is ninth out of 31 drivers in the Penn Can modified season point standings. The win followed third- and fifth-place finishes in his previous two races.
Thank God I have him, Thornton said of his fathers input. I wouldnt be racing if I didnt have him. I couldnt afford to maintain the car. More important family matters have kept Thornton away from the track this season. On the night Penn Cans season opened, Billys second daughter, Aubrey, was born. Thornton missed that race and another when his six-year-old daughter Emily had a dance recital. Penn Can and other tracks

GOLackawanna DISTRICT 17 LITTLE LEAGUE ROUNDUP
Top players come out for All-Star Showcase

Outfielder Nick Ivanoff, first baseman Kyle Lipowitch, second baseman Mike Zaccheo and pitcher James Dunning, who have helped West Scranton to a share of the District 11 American Legion League lead, represented the team Friday, June 29 in the All-Star Showcase at Connell Park. Derek Drasba, a pitcher who just finished his junior year at Old Forge High School, took part as a representative of South Scranton. South Scranton and Valley View, the other teams tied for the lead with West Scranton, each had six players involved. The All-Star Showcase has its roots in the Pennsylvania American Legion state All-Star Game and Scouts Showcase, which until 2010 advanced top players through various steps until the best in the state played in an East-West Game. Pennsylvania Legion baseball dropped the program last year, but District 11 kept it alive on the local level, inviting players from the Wyoming Valley League to join them at Connell Park. The program expanded this year to include District 15, the league that has teams in Wayne, Pike, Susquehanna and Wyoming counties. Weve continued it, hopefully thinking theyll bring it back on a state level, District11president Jeff Kovaleski said. With the group expanded to 70 players, the All-Star Showcase dropped the simulated game portion of the 3 -hour workout for scouts. From the things we wanted to see, having as many kids as we had, how do you get them all into a game? Kovaleski said. Position players were tested in the 60-yard dash and throws. Pitchers were tested for speed on their fastball, then asked to throw a variety of pitches while being observed. Players also had a chance to show what they could do in batting practice. Representatives from 10 colleges were in attendance and data that was collected on all the players will be shared with any interested coaches and scouts. Lipowich ranked third out of 13 District 11 infielders in throwing speed at 77 miles per hour. Dunning was third in speed out of six District 11 pitchers at 79 mph. District 11 players produced the
fastest 60-yard dash, outfield throw and infield throw in the entire field. Green Ridge outfielder Jake McCarthy ran a 6.71 in the 60-yard dash. Dickson City shortstop Vince Rebar ran a 6.75, making him the only other player below 6.9. Valley Views Billy Williams, who ran the fourth-fastest 60 out of 30 District 11 players, had the fastest throw overall among outfielders at 79 mph. South Scrantons Jamal Wilson was clocked at 78 from the outfield. Valley View third baseman Collin Ferguson was clocked at 81 to lead all infielders. Dunmore first baseman Mike McDonald was at 79 mph. Matt Staback, another Valley View player, had the fastest throw among catchers at 79 mph and had the best release time of the three from District 11. Pittstons Trent Grove threw at 78 mph and had the fastest release. Carbondale/Lakelands Eric Grabowski and Valley Views John Kranick each threw 82 mph as pitchers, the best from District 11. Brian Stepniak of Back Mountain (84 mph) and David Mariggi of Plains (83 mph) were the best overall. The workouts also served to help pick District 11s team that will compete in the Commanders Cup against all-star teams from other leagues in August. The other District 11 players in the All-Star Showcase were: outfielder Joe Natale and catcher Tyler Brady of Carbondale/Lakeland; outfielder Justin King, third baseman Chris Rebar and pitcher Adam Sosnowski of Dickson City; outfielder Mike Villa, shortstop Joe Palochko, third baseman Alexander Judge and catcher Jim Petrucci of South Scranton; outfielder Connor Kranick and second baseman Liam Callejas of Valley View; first baseman Ryan Gerrity of Green Ridge; second baseman Joseph Dombrowski of Moscow; third baseman Tyler Ksiazek and pitcher Kevin Elwell of Abington; and outfielder Kevin Klatt of Dunmore. Ivanoff, Lipowitch, Zaccheo and Dunning have helped West Scranton go 9-3. South Scranton and Valley View are also 9-3. All three teams have clinched spots among the six teams in the playoffs, which begin July 8. Green Ridge is still in title contention at 9-4 with three games remaining. Moscow is 7-6 and appears to be headed to the playoffs.

and passed Mike Nagel Jr. for the lead on Lap 20. He went on to his first win since July of 2010. Were having a real good season for the weeks weve been there, Thornton said. Weve been very competitive. Thornton is the owner of Thornton Graphix, an Old Forge business he started nine years ago. The business produces interior and exterior signs, full color printing and vehicle printing. Thornton runs the business during the week while his father builds engines and works on the 2011 Teo race car he obtained in the offseason.
Penn Can is nice because its closer to home than most other tracks, Thornton said. With the Friday night schedule, you dont tie up the whole weekend. Thornton leaves work early on Fridays to prepare for race night, knowing his father has the car ready to go. Bill Thornton owned a race car in the 1970s and early 1980s and helped other drivers after that, exposing his son to the sport at the same time. Billy Thornton made his debut in the Sportsman class at Moc-ATek in Wayne County in 1999. He moved to the higher-level Modified division in 2000 and was Rookie of the Year at Moc-A-Tek. After moving to Five Mile Point in Kirkwood, N.Y. for the 2003 and
2004 seasons, Thornton settled in at Penn-Can where he has finished as high as third in the final season point standings. Although moving from 15th to first in the tight confines of a short track like Penn Can is an impressive accomplishment, Thornton does not expect to contend for the season title. Thornton expects to miss a couple more races to vacation with his growing family. I dont really look at the points much, he said. Other things in life are more important. You learn that over the years. Racing may not fit as the top priority at this point in Billy Thorntons life, but with his fathers help, he still finds way to succeed in the sport.
Hes my crew chief; hes my crewHe does everything. Hes the only guy Ive got. He maintains my car all week. Hes retired now. All he does is work on the car.Billy Thornton said of Bill, his father
