Nathan is hoping the shirts, priced at

the problemof bullying.
I just want to get the
word out that bullying is
wrong, and its not cool to
do, its not fun for anyone,
(and) its not a good experi-
ence, said Nathan.
Nathan brought the idea
of creating a shirt to his
mother, April Cieslak, a few weeks ago,
who explained to him that he would
need a logo and slogan to put on the
shirt. She said a few hours later her son
had everything he needed.
It didnt take long because I was
thinking about it the whole day, so I al-
ready had the design
planned out in my head,
said Nathan.
With the design of the
shirt ready, Cieslak started
looking for someone to
print them. She said she
talked to a few people but
ultimately decided to go with GC

S
herry Skramstad of Scranton has worn many hats over
her 70 years. Shes was a medical researcher for over a
decade; a special education teacher for 33 years; a free-
lance journalist; a publicist for Monticello Raceway, Goshen
Historic Track, and Pocono Downs; a horse owner, breeder,
and trainer; and an award-winning member of the United
States Harness Writers Association.
All of these things,
she feels, she owes to
her late sister Wendy,
whoshe consideredher
best friendas they grew
up together in New
York. Wendy lived with
Down syndrome and
passed away at the age
of 59.
I dont think I would
have become what I be-
came in any field with-
out knowing Wendy,
Skramstad insisted.
At that young age, I
couldnt appreciate all
the positive contribu-
tions of people with
Down syndrome and I
thought I was going to
become the researcher
that was going to elim-
inate it from the world.
Now I think that they
are the meek that are
supposed to inherit the
Earth.
Wendy alsomade her
an author, as she felt
compelled to tell her sisters inspi-
rational story after some unusual
circumstances following her
death.
When she passed away, her
spirit, believe it or not and I nev-
er used to believe in these things
wouldnt let me sleep. My
horseshadnt done much in
2007, whichwas the year she died.
I hadone horse who hadnt earned
a penny since January 1. After
Wendy died, my horses started to
do incredible things, Skramstad
recalled, explaining that two of
her race horses sudden-
ly began placing first
and second.
The state steward
came up to meand
said, Boy, you must re-
ally know how to live.
You had two of these
happen in two weeks. A
trainer can go a whole
lifetime, awholecareer,
and never have that
happen. One of my fe-
male trainer friends,
who was in the pad-
dock at the time, said,
No, thats her sister
Wendy pushing really
hard fromheaven. And
I laughed, but I trulybe-
lieved that.
One night, I was try-
ing to sleep, and it was
about six weeks after
Wendy died, and I
heard this little voice in
my ear, Sherry, get up
andtype. Tell my story.
In the introduction, I
say the author had no
choice but to obey.
She wrote Wendys Wisdom:
The Challenges and Accomplish-
ments of a Woman with Down
Syndrome in just four months,
but it took two years for the book
toeventuallybepublishedin2010.
It not only chronicles her siblings
life, but it also paints a portrait of
the many facets of her personality.
She was very wise. She didnt
see grays things were black and
white to Wendy, and I frequently

T
o the naked eye, Reps Place on
Jackson Street may seem like any
other corner bar in West Scranton.
But if oneweretowander inthebackand
read the thank you cards and letters
pinned to the bulletin board hanging on
the wall, one would learn of the quiet but
generous actions of a groupwho call them-
selves the Black Sheep of West Scranton.
If thenamedoesnt soundfamil-
iar, thats because they depend on
word of mouth to spread their
mission and do not spend money
on advertising. Instead, 100 per-
cent of their proceeds go to help-
ing children under the age of 18
with illnesses and other issues.
Our charities are children.
Helping kids in need thats our
motto, and thats our mission
statement. We find a sick child
thats out there or a family that
needs our help. Its a kid in need,
not always a sick child, but a child
or a family that needs our sup-
port, explained Treasurer and
Vice President Joe Matyjevich.
Ninety-five percent of the time
they go right through because we
do our homework, and then we
decide on a monetary donation
anywhere from $100 to $1,000.
Two weeks ago, we actually gave
out $3,000 to three different char-
ities.
Matyjevich has been a member
since 1992; the group itself has
been around for over 20 years and
has aided hundreds of children

TYLER MILES
For Go Lackawanna
asked her advice on different
thingsShe became a world
traveler. She collected works of
art. She loved going to art gal-
leries inGreenwichVillage, and
she especially likedPicasso and
Marc Chagall. She gave a tour
at the opening of the Guggen-
heim Museum theres a chap-
ter in the book about that, she
described.
Wehadgoneonopeningday
to see the museumWendy
would wax philosophical about
the different paintings that she
was viewing and everybody
who came off the elevators be-
hindus wouldstopandlistento
her explain her thoughts on
each work of art. She had a
whole tour! By the time we got
to the lobby at the bottom peo-
ple were thanking her. Some-
body even gave her a tip.
Skramstad laughed as she re-
membered Wendys incredible
luck.
She was a very, very lucky
and avid gambler. She won all
her color at the roulette wheel
at the largest casino in the
Western Hemisphere in the Ba-
hamas, she noted.
I was gone. I was standing in
the back watching her. I lost all
my chipsShe had a number
system for winning at the race
track. Everybody wanted to be
her partner.
She also had a distinct sense
of humor.
She wonthe jackpot at a bin-
go hall and it was $1,000The
woman came back with a stack
of twenties and put them down
on the table in front of Wendy
and her face was crestfallen.
She said, Thats $1,000? Soshe
took the stack of twenties away
and she said to Wendy, Ill be
right back. She came backwith
her arms loaded with $1,000
worth of singles and she put
them on the table and they fell
into her lap. She said, Now
thats $1,000! She was such a
kick. I enjoyed her so much.
Growing up in the time peri-
od they did, however, wasnt
easy for those with Down syn-
drome despite her obvious in-
telligence, wit, andcapabilities.
When my sister was born in
1948, the doctors toldmy moth-
er that she would never walk,
talk, or be toilet-trained, that
my mother would be better off
placing her in Willowbrook,
where they knew how to take
care of people like this, she
said.
Skramstad pointed out that
an investigative report by Ger-
aldo Rivera of Willowbrook
State School in New York re-
vealed horrific abuse of pa-
tients that led to its closure in
1987 andfederal civil rights leg-
islation protecting those with
intellectual disabilities.
If only my sister had been
born 30 years later, she could
have been the first astronomer
with Down syndrome. She
loved planetary things. Wed go
to the library and shed make
me take out books and read to
her about all the different plan-
ets and shed quiz me about
them. She was amazing.
Their mother and stepfather
becameco-founders of theorga-
nization that would eventually
become The Arc, which pro-
tects the rights of those with in-
tellectual disabilities, and
while Skramstad feels that
much progress has been made
it terms of understanding and
helping those with Down syn-
drome, she continues to edu-
cate people through readings,
signings, anddiscussions of her
book, stopping for an appear-
ance on Aug. 25 at the Taylor
Community Library, 710 South
Main St., Taylor.
Theres still prejudice in
some areas. I want people to
know that people with Down
syndrome, I think, are not
greedy; they are not self-serv-
ing, generallyThey are grate-
ful for the planet that the Cre-
ator gave us, and I dont think
theyd destroy it like we would.
I just thinkthey care about each
other and doing the right
thing, she commented.
Im hoping that the people
who come to Taylor will have
an interest in listening and
learning and sharing their
ideas, their questions, whatev-
er.
At a similar appearance in
New York, one woman she
spoke to was able to pin down
the central message of the book
and Wendys simple, yet pro-
found wisdom.
She said, Wow. Wendy had
a really powerful message if
youjust dont get involvedinall
the grays and you do the right
thing, you live a happy, healthy
life. Thenext timeI haveaprob-
lem, Im going to ask myself,
What would Wendy do? My
heart just swelled when she
said that. That was the whole
purpose of me namingthe book
Wendys Wisdom. I felt sograt-
ified when that woman said
that,
My sister saw things in
black and white it was wrong
or it was right. If you stick to
that, youre OK. You do the
right thing.

SCRANTON A 20-year-old
West Scranton man was
charged with committing an
armed robbery of the Sunoco
Gas Station, 1227 S. Main
Ave., on Aug. 14 in addition to
a separate street robbery just
days earlier.
When questioned by detec-
tives, police said Christian
Matthew Cox of Rock Street
admitted to committing the
robbery because he was re-
cently laid off from his job and
needed the money so he didnt
have to live on the streets.
Cox allegedly
said he dis-
carded the
clothing he
wore during
the robbery
and the gun he
used in an al-
leyway while
he was run-
ning from the scene and
agreed to show detectives
where he discarded the items.
Detective James Pappas re-
covered a BB gun that resem-
bled a semi-automatic hand-
gun in an alleyway near Gerri-
tys Supermarket in West
Scranton that was allegedly
used in two robberies by Cox.
The second robbery was on
Aug. 9 on the 300 block of S.
Main Ave. The victim report-
ed being robbed at gunpoint
and provided a physical de-
scription of the suspect that
met Coxs description.
According to a press re-
lease, Detective Michael
Schultz recovered the victims
access card and brown wallet
with the belongings of Cox
while investigating the Suno-
co robbery. Cox allegedly ad-
mitted to also committing
that robbery and said he stole
the victims gym bag, wallet,
and access card because he
needed money.
Cox was charged with rob-
bery, theft by unlawful taking,
simple assault, and recklessly
endangering another person
for his role in the Sunoco
armed robbery; he was
charged with robbery, theft by
unlawful taking, receiving sto-
len property, simple assault,
and recklessly endangering
another person for the Aug. 9
robbery.
Cox was transported to the
processing center for process-
ing and arraignment.

ts not uncommon for yearly events, no
matter how long theyve been around or
how popular they are in the community,
to suddenly stop due to any number of rea-
sons. But some events are special, and worth
fighting to keep around. For its organizers,
theannual LatinPrideFestival is oneof those
special events.
The festival, scheduledfor Saturday,
August 25, from11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. at
Courthouse Square in downtown
Scranton, has become a much antici-
pated event for many since its incep-
tion, putting Latino countries culture
on display each year.
Its very nice when you get to see
andlearnabout other cultures andeth-
nicities, said Scranton resident Cesar
Reyes. Its a nice way to reach out to
people andsay, This is where we come
from, this is what we do. I believe we
should have more of that.
Reyes is one of several organizers
who are helping put the event togeth-
er. He said his main responsibilities in-
clude bookingsome of the DJs andmu-
sical acts and acting as emcee for the
event.

they discovered that Pedro Gon-
zalez, the festivals previous orga-
nizer, was not planning onputting
it on this year.
The main goal is actually to
save the festival, because there
wasnt going to be a festival, said
Reyes. And, out of nowhere Blan-
ca (Fernandez) had to start put-
ting it together, start organizing
it.
Reyes said Fernandez, a Scran-
ton resident, took it upon herself
to start planning the event.
The group discovered only six
weeks ago the festival was not be-
ing planned, and had to get to
work immediately to make sure
that the annual event would con-
tinue in the Scranton area.
With the short window of time
to put it together, the planning be-
came even more time consuming
than it normally would be. For or-
ganizers like Reyes, who is in the
process of beginninghis ownbusi-
ness, 5 Star Promotions and En-
tertainment, spare time is scarce.
But he founda way tohelpout, be-
cause he said he believes in the
festival.
Its something thats been go-
ing on for a few years. Everyones
expecting it, everyone knows its
going to happen, and its very im-
portant to actually keep that go-
ing, said Reyes.
Its very important for the peo-
ple in the community. Its impor-
tant also to the locals to show
them something different, just
like people see different things
when we have the Italian Festival
(and) theSt. Patricks DayParade,
its very important.
Reyes added that in many ways
the work hes done with the festiv-
al reflects what hes aiming to do
with his new business.
Basically, were going to be
putting together a lot of shows as
well as community activities
along with this business, said
Reyes.
There were some drawbacks in
having to put the festival together
in six weeks. The length of the
event, for example, had to be cut
from two days down to one, elim-
inating the parade that usually
takes place on the second day.
But, despite the changes, those
involved still feel the festival will
showcase the same spirit in one
day that it usually does in a week-
end.
Its a lot of musicfoodpeo-
ple, its fun, said Sarah Faria.
Faria became involved with the
festival after running into Fernan-
dez at the supermarket. Fernan-
dez shared with Faria the story of
how the group needed to move
quickly to put the event together.
I asked if she needed any help,
and she was like, Yes, I need all
the helpI canget, andthats howI
became anorganizer, laughedFa-
ria.
In addition to the help Faria is
able to provide, her involvement
also marks the first time in years
that the Brazilian community will
be represented at the event, a fac-
tor that also influenced Farias de-
cision to get involved.
I thought it was very impor-
tantsomeone from my commu-
nity had to do itso all the Brazi-
lians would see how important it
is to bring the community togeth-
er, said Faria.
Faria had attended the event in
years past, and said she thought
it was very interesting how all
the different Latino backgrounds
got together, howthey each come
with their culture and how they
showed it.
Faria and her fitness instructor,
Allan Souza, along with their
dance troop, will be displaying
some traditional Braziliandances,
including Samba, Zumba and Pa-
gode.
There will be traditional dances
froman assortment of many more
Latin countries as well as a per-
formance from the local group
Grupo Weepa, a demonstration
from the Scranton Police Depart-
ments K-9 unit, games for the
kids, Latin food and more.
Now that the festival is getting
closer, some organizers have al-
ready started to think about next
year. Reyes said he hasnt decided
if he would be an organizer again,
but hopes that the festival will
continue.
Someone should do it every
year. It doesnt have to be the
same people doing it, someone
should do it. Were hoping that if
someone else does it, they do it
right, (and) they do it for the right
reasons.
Theres still timetoget involved
with the annual Latin Pride Fes-
tival this year, as the organizers
are still looking for sponsors and
volunteers to work the day of the
event.
For more information on the
festival, visit www.face-
book.com/cesars.copacabana or
call 906.1850.
Part of the proceeds raisedfrom
the festival will be donated to the
K-9 unit.

andtheir families inthat time. Cur-
rently, they have 33 active mem-
bers who meet once a month at
Reps Place.
It was a group of guys who ac-
tually got together at one of the lo-
cal establishments and heard of
someone that was in need. They
passed the hat around to get some-
thing started to try and help the
child who needed help and it
evolved from there, Matyjevich
said of the Black Sheeps origins.
We hear of a charity and we push
the money right back out.
We basically gave parents of a
sick child money for lodging and
gas whentheir childwas inthehos-
pital, so then it just evolved into
helping kids in need. We just try to
help kids any way we can, Ser-
geant-at-Arms Larry Spathelf, Sr.
continued.
We have our meetings on Sun-
day. We start with a meal and then
we do our general business and
then were done. We just figure out
whowere goingtohelp, Joe writes
out the checks, and everyone goes
home happy. Its a good feeling.
New members are typically
brought in by other members and
voted by majority into the group,
with some coming from families
the group has helped in the past.
Theirranksincludefirefighters, po-
liceofficers, mailmen, publicworks
employees, businessmen, lawyers,
chefs men from all walks of life.
And while they are strictly a male
organization, they are quick to
credit their girlfriends and wives
with their ongoing support.
The wives and the girlfriends
do help out. They make the food,
they sell the tickets, theyll watch
our holes at the golf tournament,
and theyll help get the prizes.
Theyrenot excluded, but it started
as a groupof guys andweve kept it
that way as a private organization,
Matyjevich clarified. We wouldnt
be here if they didnt say, We know
what youre doing, and its a very
good cause.
Their causes are also decided by
a majority vote, and in addition to
helping kids with illness or special
needs, theyve alsodonatedmoney
tocancer benefits, theScrantonPo-
lice Departments K-9 Unit, Little
Leagues, those affected by house
fires, and other charity organiza-
tions. Typically, though, they ask a
family towrite a letter tothe group
explaining their situation and the
men read it and vote on it at their
monthly meeting.
Somehow the word gets out
therethat wedowhat wedo. Some-
one will approach us or make a
phone call to a member or a friend
of a friend or sometimes you read
something in the paper, Spathelf
explained. Well sit here while
somebody reads a letter andtheyll
be 33 guys crying.
Theguyreadingwill say, I cant
read it anymore, and he passes it
ontosomebodyelse. Anillness can
popupanytime, but weretryingto
do what we can, Matyjevich add-
ed.
Its unbelievable. Its just heart-
wrenching, but were here to help
families, Spathelf emphasized.
The families keep in touch with
us. They let us know whats going
on and how things have worked
out.
It is a financial burdenona fam-
ily when a sick child is there, and
thats the last thing we want them
worrying about when they have to
worry about their kid, member
Dave Lesh said. We try to help
ease the burden that falls upon a
family. Its something very little,
but its something.
Much of their funding comes
from two annual fundraisers the
Black Sheep hold: the Spring Fling
at the Taylor Hose Company,
which was held in April, and the
Golf Tournament at Pine Hills
Country Club, 140 S. Keyser Ave.,
Taylor, scheduled for Saturday,
Aug. 25at 1p.m. Bothevents are in

For $20 a person can have a
decent night out in many
venues in Scranton, but at
The Olde Brick Theatre on
Sunday, Aug. 26, it can buy
you a trip in a time machine.
To offset production costs
of Dyonisia 12, the second
annual Jason Miller Play-
wrights Project Invitational,
the Project and the Scranton
Public Theatre will hold the
Providence Speakeasy, a par-
ty with a Prohibition-era
theme featuring live jazz mu-
sic by the Mark Montella
Band, surprise guest singers,
a cocktail tasting, and more.
The location itself just sort of
lends itself to something like that.
We are located behind Stirnas
Restaurant, so the place is tucked
back and out of the way. The thea-
ter is very small; it only seats
about 100 people, maybe a little
more. The walls are exposed
brick. It can get dark in there
when we dont have the house-
lights on. It looks the part, so to
speak, so it just seemed natural
that we would want to turn the
theater into a speakeasy, ex-
plained Sarah Stachura, project
associate with the Jason Miller
Playwrights Project and part of
the volunteer committee that or-
ganized the speakeasy.
Aspeakeasy was a place where
people would gather if they want-
ed to enjoy illicit pleasures, you
could say. During the 1920s, Pro-
hibitionwas ineffect, anda speak-
easy was a place where you could
enjoy a cocktail or two and also
music at the time that might not
have been the norm. A speakeasy
was usually run by local people
and obviously the alcohol and the
things that they would enjoy were
made by themselves, and we like
to think of ourselves as sustaina-
ble and local as well. Were pro-
ducing the work of local play-
wrights, and thats what we try to
do throughout the year.
An hors doeuvre buffet made
up of donations from local busi-
nesses will be set up on the stage,
and candlelit cocktail tables will
line the vintage-decorated venue
in lieu of the theaters usual seat-
ing. Guests are encouraged to
wear period costumes inspired by
jazz-era or neo-burlesque fashion,
and prizes will be awarded for
jazziest flask, most festive fas-
cinator/hat, and other catego-
ries, such as vintage vixen.
I was a director and a play-
wright and an actor in last years
festival, so, of course, I was all
about making this years bigger
and better, and if we have to raise
a little money todoso, thenImall
for that, Stachura said.
We want to make sure that all
the local artists that were lucky
enough to have help us out re-
ceive some sort of compensation
for their time and effort. It takes a
lot of work to put on a show, and
were firm believers that everybo-
dy should receive a little reward
for their hard work.
Last year, Dyonisia was funded
by grants and money frompartici-
pants own pockets, so this year a
committee was formed to raise
the funds. The Jason Miller Play-
wrights Project Invitational will
be held the last two weeks of Sep-
tember, containing 12 short plays
by local writers inspired by the
theme apocalypse and present-
ed during two alternating profes-
sional programs. The project is
determined to pay all play-
wrights, directors, actors, and
productionstaff a stipendfor their
work.
The Jason Miller Playwrights
Project itself is committed to pro-
ducing and nurturing local writ-
ers. We do stage readings
throughout the year of work that
was written by local writers. Wed
lovetodofull productions all year,
but we cant afford it, Stachura
noted, a participant herself since
2009.
But at least with a stage read-
ing were able to nurture the local
writer and perhaps encourage
them to put of a full-fledged pro-
duction. Were all about doing ev-
erything we can to help out local
playwrights and get their work
noticed. Were here for the local
art community, and we just want
to get bigger and better.
The Project is made up of local
stage and screen writers who
work with the Scranton Public
Theatre at The Olde Brick Thea-
ter to challenge and encourage
each other in the creation of new
scripts. It is named for Pulitzer
Prize and Tony Award-winning
actor and playwright Jason Mill-
er, the Theatres artistic director
for16years until his deathin2001.
Among his goals for the Theat-
re was a writers forum, sothe Pro-
ject continues to take submis-
sions from regional playwrights
year-round.
Tickets for the speakeasy are
$20 in advance or $25 at the door
and include food and a limited
open bar. $5 a la carte tickets are
available for an optional menu of
micro performances to be offered
backstage throughout the eve-
ning, including a 1930s-syle cock-
tail tasting in the greenroom, a
spiritual consultation in the
wings, and an intimate improvisa-
tional comedy experience or pulp
drama peep show in The Bur-
lesque Dressing Room.
Its going to be a lot of fun. We
are going to have a couple surpris-
es. Its not going to be like any-
thing weve seen in Scranton for a
longtime. Wevegot alot of talent-
ed folks on our roster helping us
out with the event, Stachura
said.
Not only are you going to pay
$20, which is a great deal, for food
and wine and things like that, but
youre also going to get great mu-
sic and a great variety of enter-
tainment. Andyouget todress up.
Who doesnt want to do that?

natemoneytous knowingwhat wedo. Our
members go out andreachout to themand
the money we get fromthat is howwe help
the children. Our sponsors help us a great
deal, Spathelf said.
Once people find out what we do, they
just seemto be always there when we need
them. Theyre just a phone call away.
The guy at Pine Hills said its one of his
bigger tournaments of the year, so our suc-
cess rate is very good, Trustee Nick Azza-
relli added.
Organizingthe fling, withall its foodand
beverages donated by local residents and
businesses, and the 36-team, 18-hole tour-
nament with raffles and prizes is no easy
task, but they find that every member
comesthrougheverytimetomakethemon-
going successes.
We do what it takes. Everyone in the or-
ganization rolls their sleeves up when it
comestimetoworkingthebenefit, working
the golf tournament, and going out there
andlookingfor sponsors. Weall dowhat we
need to to make sure it is a success at the
end, Matyjevichacknowledged.
We have an outpouring of support. You
can count on your fellowsheep to do what
they saidthey were goingtodoWeve had
people join the organization for what we
did. Wehelpedason, adaughter, oragrand-
child, and, in turn, they became members
andthey couldnt do enoughfor the organi-
zation.
Matyjevich noted that even the strug-
gling economy has only had a negligible
effect ontheir fundraising efforts.
The families feel that (economic) hit
too, but were still able to help them, Lesh
said.
Its reallybeensurprisingthelast couple
years with the economy. The people have
been great, Trustee Jack Hubshman

Cieslak said she felt a connec-
tion with Joseph F. Schillaci,
president of GC Sweats, who
was also passionate about the
cause.
Immediately we gave thema
discount, because of the nature
of it. I thought it was so admira-
ble of Nathan that I couldnt get
involvedfast enough. Theresno-
body that wasnt bullied at one
time in their life, including me,
said Schillaci.
After coming on board, Schil-
laci helpedmakesometweaks to
the design, and shared the news
of Nathans project with his son
Rocco A. Schillaci II, Esquire,
who, also being able to sympa-
thize with what some children
are forced to go through, spon-
sored the T-shirts through his
law firm, Schillaci Law, LLC,
paying for a portion of the pro-
duction cost.
I thought it was a great idea
and a great cause for such a
youngkidtowant toget involved
in, said Schillaci II. I think its
really in the forefront right now.
With social media, bullying is
not what it used to be. Its not
stealing your lunch money and
pushing you on the playground,
its really a psychological game.
Bullying has changed for chil-
dren in the last 10 years. After
school, children used to be able
togohome andbe safe, but now,
because of the popularity of
Facebook and texting, the bully-
ing can followstudents home.
Its more serious, added
Cieslak, a teachers aide in the
Old Forge School District. You
have children committing sui-
cide over it. Ive obviously, and
fortunately, havent been in a
school district where thats hap-
pened, but it has happenedlocal-
ly. So, its serious, and I think we
need to take it seriously.
One way to have the problem
taken more seriously is to create
awareness and also educate chil-
dren and adults on what to do if
they are being bullied, witness
bullying, orif theyaretheonedo-
ing the bullying.
Nathans T-shirt campaign
will hopefully be able to have an
impact onboth, withaportionof
the proceeds from the shirts be-
ing donated to the PACERs Na-
tional Bullying Prevention Cen-
ter.
The nonprofit organization,
whichwas originallyestablished
as an advocacy for children with
disabilities, became involved in
bullying prevention about 10
years ago, according to Julie
Hertzog of PACER.
We had so many parents con-
tacting us about bullying situa-
tions, said Hertzog.
The stories we were hearing
were heartbreaking andthey im-
pacted us, especially as an advo-
cacy organization.
PACER developed resources,
primarily online, for children.
The donations from Nathans
project will be going to help and
continue the development of
those resources.
But possiblyevenmoreimpor-
tant than the money they will be
receiving will be the potential
impact Nathan will be making
on his community, as Hertzog
explained that peer-generated
projects usually have a larger ef-
fect on children.
When a young person like
Nathan takes action like
thisthe message has just a
much stronger impact when its
comingfroma peer, andwe hear
that from students all the time,
said Hertzog.
Adults can talk about this to
kids, and its important that
adults model thepolicies andset
the procedures andrules, but its
really the kids themselves that
have such an influence in this
topic, and its really their social
issueand theyre probably the
ones that can take the strongest
action to remedy it, said Hert-
zog.
Members of Old Forge, and
surrounding communities, may
have already proven Hertzogs
theory true, as Nathan was able
to sell 75 shirts in three days.
He came in originally for 12
shirts and said, I want to sell
them to my friends, said Schil-
laci.
Andthenthis kindof all esca-
lated, said Nathan.
Cieslak said the family didnt
have to make any phone calls for
the sale of the first run of shirts,
with word of mouth bringing
members of the community to
them, who were also passionate
about their cause.
I know a lot of the parents
that bought themwere (saying),
This is so important. This is an
amazingthingthat Nathanis do-
ing, Alot of comments and a lot
of positive feedback, said Cies-
lak.
The positive feedback will
most likely continue in the com-
ingweeks, asNathanandSchilla-
ci plan on notifying the sur-
rounding school districts, about
the T-shirt sale.
Nathan has requested permis-
sion from the Old Forge School
District to sell the shirts in the
district. Old Forge Elementary
School Principal Nicole Vanlu-
vender said she is unaware if a
decision on that has been made
yet, but addedthat sheispleased
with Nathans project.
I couldnt beprouder of his ef-
forts, said Vanluvender.
He really stands up, in every
situation, for what he thinks is
right.

is to stay in downtown Scran-
ton, within the First Friday
footprint.
We want to be somewhere
thats in walking distance of our
former space so that our regular
customers wouldnt have to go
too far out of their way from
what they were used to, she
said.
The travel may be a short one,
but its not without challenges.
Hopingtomake the move a little
more painless, OBrien and
OConner have taken to crowd-
source-funding website Indiego-
go.com. The deadline for dona-
tions was Saturday, Aug. 18.
We have the funds to get
started, at least, OConner said.
Were just hoping Indiegogo
can help us with the renovations
and our sound equipment and
maybe building a little nest just
so were not crossing our fingers
in October when the next
months rent comes.
LOOKING BACK
When the Vintage closed its
doors at 119 PennAve. inJune, it
came as a shock to many. Since
September 2009, that address
had been the Vintages home. It
now houses a print shop.
The building owners were
just looking to do something dif-
ferent, so we had to find some-
where else to go, OConnor
said. We had15 days to move. It
was a bit of a surprise to us, but
weve tried to keep the ball roll-
ing.
This isnt the first time the
Vintage has had to change loca-
tion. Originally foundedinJanu-
ary 2009 as a revival movie-
house at 222 Wyoming Ave., the
venue quickly outgrewthat spot
as it transformed into some-
thing of a one-stop destination
for all things art related. Over
the years, the Vintage has host-
ed plays, poetry readings, con-
certs, discussions and exhibits
of all kinds.
We call that arts integra-
tion, where youre bringing art
into other contexts and also in-
termingling, exchanging and in-
terchanging between the differ-
ent arts, Ted Michalowski, a
Marywood University and Keys-
tone College art instructor said.
Its always good because artists
need to support each other as
well as befriend each other.
From that comes collaboration
and growth.
Michalowski, who participa-
ted in Rhythm of the Region II,
one of the last art events the Vin-
tage heldbefore goingonhiatus,
believes the venues open-armed
eclecticism makes it a valuable
contributor to the burgeoning
NEPA art scene.
On the other hand, for people
like Pamela McNichols, even
more significant may be the Vin-
tages all-ages inclusivity.
In March, McNichols and her
daughter Zoe held the first-ever
Scranton StorySlam at the ven-
ue. Originally conceived as
Zoes high-school senior project,
the mother-daughter duo decid-
edtocontinue holdingslams fol-
lowing the success of their Vin-
tage debut.
We need to create an atmo-
sphere for our young people so
they have something to do, so
that theyre not just goingtopar-
ties all the time and so they can
become involved with a music
scene and with other different
kinds of art and culture, she
said. The local art scene is awe-
some. Great theater. Fantastic
music. Thats where a place like
the Vintage fits in, for example,
providing a place for musicians
to perform that isnt a bar.
Dan Rosler knows what thats
like. The lead singer and guita-
rist for A Fire with Friends cred-
its the Vintage with helping his
band find its footing when the
group was still in its formative
days.
When our previous practice
space was not working out,
Theresa andConor offeredtolet
us practice there, Rosler said.
Theygaveus aplacetostart, re-
ally. A lot of the first shows we
ever played were there. We had
both of our CD release shows
there. I have a lot of great memo-
ries at that place.
MOVING FORWARD
At press time, the Vintages In-
diegogo page had surpassed its
goal $3,500, earning$3,646with
15 hours left to increase that
amount, anestimated$1,000 ad-
ditionally raised through fun-
draising events at the Houdini
Museum and the bar Merts in
Scranton. The Steamtown Orig-
inal Music Showcase, set to take
place the first weekend of Sep-
tember, will also donate a por-
tion of its proceeds.
Therehavebeenpeoplecom-
ing out asking if they can donate
a portion of this or that,
OBrien said. Its a lot of little
things, but the support has been
overwhelming and every dollar
is helping.
Viewing their unexpected
move as a blessing in disguise,
OBrien and OConnor are using
it as an opportunity to evolve.
Not only are they actively seek-
ing a larger space for their new
home, the Vintage owners are al-
so concocting ideas for new of-
ferings, as well. Among such of-
ferings are plans for new cre-
ative workshops and classes.
Just as our history has pro-
ven, the Vintage has a mindof its
own, OBrien said. Its such a
community-minded venture
that it reallydepends onwhat di-
rection the community wants it
to go in. As long as that support
is there, were willing to do any-
thing and everything.
Regardless of what changes
the Vintages new location and
continued evolution bring, how-
ever, OBrien remains commit-
ted to the philosophy with
which he founded the venue
years ago.
The biggest problem in the
arts is the barrier that is often
created. While Im a firm believ-
er that the arts are something to
be honored, treasured and re-
spected, all too often it becomes
this ostentatious institution
with an attitude that its only for
the elite. Thats so wrong. Art is
for everyone, regardless of age
andregardless of experience lev-
el. Wherever there is a void, that
is what we want to fill. Its some-
thing meant to be open and in-
viting, a true community.

Previewing
the up-
coming
season in most high
school sports involves
assessing returning ath-
letes and reputations of
established programs.
Better impressions are
formed when the first
contests are held, but
even then the compari-
sons must be weighed
against differing compe-
tition and challenges.
The Lackawanna League
golf season is much easier
to assess after just one day.
All of the teams with any
chance of competing for
titles attend the season-
opening Jackman Memorial
Tournament each year at
Scranton Municipal, giving
a strong hint as to who will
be the top teams and indi-
viduals in the season ahead.
As is often the case, it
was Scranton Prep that left
the strongest impression
Friday.
The Cavaliers won the
team championship by 16
strokes and had four of the
top seven individuals, in-
cluding Moosic residents
Evan Joyce and Nick John-
son.
The Jackman title does
not assure regular-season
and post-season champion-
ships for Scranton Prep, but
it does make it clear that
the teams wishing to pur-
sue those titles will have to
find a way to beat the Cava-
liers.
A year ago, Abington
Heights, Scranton Prep and
North Pocono went 1-2-3 in
the Jackman. Those teams
produced half of District 2s
eight state qualifying boys
players. Abington Heights
and North Pocono tied for
first in the Lackawanna
South, just ahead of third-
place Scranton Prep and
North Pocono ultimately
emerged as the District 2
team champion.
It was great to get the
title back from Abington
Heights, said Joyce, who
shot 74 to finish third for
the Cavaliers behind indi-
vidual champion David
Pompey (70) and low soph-
omore Chris Cerminaro
(73). Its kind of like a
kickoff to the year. Were
always pumped to win it.
Whoever wins it, it gives
a little confidence going
into the season.
Pompeys confidence
should be soaring. He ral-
lied to the title with a re-
markable 5-under-par, 31 on
the back nine, including a
hole-in-one at the par-three
12th hole.
It was a very good day,
said Johnson, who shot 74.
To win the Jackman is
spectacular. Its a very pres-
tigious team tournament to
win and to win as an indi-
vidual.
Its a great win for Dave
Pompey to take that one
home.
Joyce was dominant early
and Pompey was even
stronger late.
Johnson was steady while
posting the tournaments
second-best score among
juniors. He put his driver
within 70 yards on 14, his
fifth hole, knocked his ap-
proach to four feet and
posted his only birdie of the
day.
I just hit it solid all day,
Johnson said.
The 49th rendition of the
pre-season golf tournament
leaves the distinct impres-
sion that Scranton Prep will
once again be a solid team
all season.
Cavaliers make a
good first impression

la return to the starting lineup this
season for the Old Forge golf team.
Blue Devils coach Joe DeStefano
expects the rest of the starting li-
neup to fluctuate throughout the
season.
Sophomore Cameron Carpenter
showed that he could be ready to be
the top newcomer to the lineup
whenheshot 95Friday, August17at
Scranton Muni to match Cantarella
for the teams best score in the Jack-
man Memorial Golf Tournament.
Our numbers are in the 20s,
DeStefano said. We have a lot of
kids playing who are pretty close to
each other.
Senior Vince Talarico, junior Rob-
ert Donovan and sophomore Cam-
eron Carpenter were the others in
the starting lineup for the season-
opening tournament.
Seniors Jared Heckman, Dave
Chromey, Tyler Cavalieri and John
Vols could all make the lineup at
times this season, along with some
of the teams younger players.
As a young team, we hope to
grow throughout the season, DeS-
tefano said.
The Blue Devils are part of the
Lackawanna Leagues new format,
which has replaced geographic divi-
sions with enrollment-based divi-
sions.
Itsagoodthingfromthefact that
we are playing smaller schools;
schools our size, DeStefano said.
But, its harder travel and some
courses we have not seen before.
The Blue Devils were seventh in
the 12-team Lackawanna Southern

The challenges are plentiful for the Riv-
erside girls tennis team.
The Lady Vikes return just one player
who has ever started a varsity match as
they prepare to move to a more difficult
schedule with less hope of title conten-
tion.
We lost nine or 10 girls, Riverside
coach Robert Thomas said. Were start-
ing fromscratch. We have four returnees,
but only one girl who started a varsity
match ever.
Senior Samantha Keoonela, a part-time
starter at second doubles, is that player.
She is likely to move up to singles play
this season.
Junior Ashley Fuentes and sophomore
Morgan Gable played exhibition matches
last year and have a chance to join Keoo-
nela in the singles lineup.
Senior Kayla Creedon, the other re-
turnee, is likely to be part of the doubles
lineup.
Riverside went 6-5 to tie Elk Lake for
first place in Division 3 last season before
losing a championshipplayoff tothe Lady
Warriors, 3-2.
The Lackawanna League has eliminat-
ed divisional play this year.
Abington Heights, which was the un-
beaten Division 1 champion the last two
years, and Scranton Prep, which was the
unbeatenDivision2championduringthe
same span, are likely to battle for the title.
The smaller schools are less likely to
contend.
It gave us something to fight for, Tho-
mas said of the divisional format. For
myself and the Elk Lake, Holy Cross and
Dunmore coaches, I cant imagine theyre
too thrilled about this.
Instead of playing just Division 2 and 3
teams, Riverside will play all the Lacka-
wanna teams.
I preferred it the other way, Thomas
said, but Ive always enjoyed playing
Honesdale and North Pocono in the past.
This will give the girls a little diversity
as well.
The Lady Vikes open Tuesday, August
21with a rematch of last years Division 3
championship match then host West
Scranton Thursday.

TOMROBINSON
For Go Lackawanna W
est Scranton en-
ters the Lacka-
wanna League
girls tennis season with a
new coach, a new lineup
and a new schedule.
Jenn Spott is the Lady In-
vaders third coach in three
seasons.
Sophomore singles player
Arianna Goldstein is the only
returning starter fromlast year.
The Lackawanna Leagues re-
turn to a complete round-robin
schedule could give West
Scranton a boost after strug-
gling in the top division for the
past three years.
Spott is in her second year as
an autistic support and special
educations teacher at West
Scranton. She played tennis for
Misericordia University after
beingpart of the teamat the for-
mer Bishop Hannan High
School in Scranton.
Goldstein is a likely singles
player.
The Lady Invaders will play
every other team in the Lacka-
wanna League while looking to
end a 19-match league losing
streak that dates back to the
2010 season. West Scranton
went just 2-32 combined while
playing the other biggest
schools during the years the
Lackawanna League split
teams up based on enrollment
size.
It will be a new set of players
trying to take advantage of the
somewhat relaxed schedule.
The remaining starters from
last years team graduated.
We spread the word out
fromlast year because we knew
the girls were graduating,
Spott said. We will have a lot of
girls who are going to be
switching around between sin-
gles and doubles.
Emily Flatt, a newcomer to
the program, is the only senior
on the team.
Junior captain Sara Skori-
towski, a likely singles player,
won on the roster last year but
not part of the starting lineup.
Coletta Remke, who may play
singles, and Kaitlyn Tokash,
whoprobably will play doubles,
are juniors who have joined the
team.
Some of the freshmen will
be part of the starting lineup,
Spott said. That will be good
for us over the next four years.
Spott said Nicole Sinclair,
one of the freshmen, probably
will be in the doubles lineup.
West Scranton faces a tough
opener Tuesday, August 21
against Abington Heights,
which has won 25 straight
league matches and claimed
the last two Division 1 titles.
