WNEP television personality Ryan Leckey will be hosting the event Friday and Entercom Communications Tony Bartocci will cover Saturday.

Scranton creator Conor McGuigan, and State Senator John Blake will join the show, which will again be broadcast on Electric City Television. While they may be the public face of the show, Lackawanna Historical Society Director Mary Ann Moran-Savakinus was quick to give credit to the students behind the scenes. They have to do a lot of research. Its time-consuming. They do get very involved in and they know things about towns in Lackawanna County that I never

knew about. And they have fun while theyre doing it, so its a win-win for everybody, said Moran-Savakinus . The Historical Society wins because we get this great entertaining program, plus we get to work with young people and hopefully instill a value in their local history interest while theyre young so theyll continue that as they get older. And then they win because they get to learn in an entertaining way and really create something brand, new, I think, so its fun. Shawn P. Murphy, fourth grade teacher and public relations coordinator at Riverside Elementary West School, served as advisor to the Riverside students and helped select those who would be involved. I look back at students that Im familiar with that I know are interested in this kind of stuff and are good students. They have leadership skills and theyre reliable. Some of them I
have taught, and some of them I just know from around the school district, Murphy said. Its kind of like enjoying the fruits of the labor because some of the kids that participate in it were either in my class play, which is a local Taylor history play, or did things on an elementary level. Its nice to see them all grown up and basically reaching the next level of all this kind of stuff, which is research. Students often learn national and world history throughout their academic careers, but Murphy believes it is just as important for students to understand their own local roots as well. If you can learn about your own area where youre from, I think then you can make that connection to the rest of the country and worldIts one of many programs that our school district is involved where the students can go out into the community and learn, and not just learn, but also contribute to
the community. Were taking something, were learning from these resources, and were also leaving something behind, Murphy said. We hope they take away an interest in local history, first and foremost. We hope they learn about their own local history as theyre doing it, and we hope that they see that it can be fun to get involved in a local organization, Moran-Savakinus added. The students and the contestants, they noted, wont be the only ones learning something, as the audience often remarks about what they took away from previous shows. Responding directly to questionnaires filled out by previous audience members, the show has developed and become increasingly diverse in its knowledge base over the last three years. Maybe there wasnt a Gouldsboro question or maybe there wasnt a Madisonville question well, there will be
this year, Murphy pointed out. All of the students had about five municipalities to cover and they had so many questions for each municipality, so we feel its more well-balanced across the county this year...The audience members are going to learn lots when theyre there. Thats a great thing. Murphy admitted that he learned much about the area right along with the students, particularly about Luna Park, which suffered a fire in 1916 that led to its closure. Luna Park seemed so ahead of our time the different rides that they had there, the ornate look to the parkIts amazing when drive down Interstate 81 and youre looking across and you can see Nay Aug Park and youre thinking, Wow, Im driving through what used to be Luna Park. It blows my mind, actually, he said. Another neat thing is the Gertrude Hawk (Chocolates) story. I dont want to give too much information because well be giving answers to our questions! While we live in a fast-paced world, he continued, he feels that all residents should take a moment to recognize how we arrived at where we are today. Youre in a car and youre driving around and you just dont pay attention to anything along the way. I think this opens up their minds to what the area used to be like and maybe gets them thinking, What can it be like in the future? Murphy said. Its always good to know where you come from. Its nice to get anyone, especially our youth, to appreciate the past.

Scranton baker among winners of cake challenge

By DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@golackawanna.com

akers from all across Northeastern Pennsylvania, and some outside the area, found their way to Scranton last week ready to put their cakes up to the challenge. The Great Chefs XXII Cake Challenge, a fundraiser for the Womens Resource Center, was held on Wednesday, May 2, at the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel, 700 Lackawanna Ave., Scranton.
Eighteen bakers competed in three categories, beginner, intermediate and advanced, in this event. Each designed a cake based
on this years theme, Around the World. I think they are gorgeous, said Marita Lawrence, chairperson for Great Chefs Cake Challenge. I think we are so lucky to have all these talented bakers. I think each year it gets better and better. Lawrence explained that while this is the 22nd Great Chefs, the cake decorating competition is something added only a few years ago. In the past the Womens Resource Center invited prominent chefs in the area to do demonstrations, but the group changed it to cake decorating and have received positive feedback from the public. Its fairly new. Its just been going on a couple of years, with the cake decorating, but I think the public is really excited about this, said Lawrence. They love seeing the cakes. And they can also vote for their favorite cake (for the Peoples Choice
Award), so I think thats fun for people to do. Sandy Chesak of My Mothers Delicacies won the Peoples Choice Award this year. Awards were also given out to bakers who finished in first place in the beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. Winners were chosen by judges Kim Morrison, a certified master sugar artist, and Colette Peters, the grand prize winner of the Food Networks Cake Challenge.

Approximately 85 percent of the existing facility is going to be demolished and replaced with a new facility that is a smaller, more-intimate venue than what exists today. Creating an open-air feel is among the extensive changes in a $43-million reconstruction project that began April 27 and continued throughout the week with steps such as ripping out seats. The process is expected to move to major demolition work in the next week or two.

Today we celebrate northeastern Pennsylvanias rich baseball legacy and begin to add a new chapter, Lackawanna County commissioner Corey OBrien said, referencing earlier minor league teams and six baseball Hall of Famers from the region.

University of Scranton students win grant

GO LACKAWANNA/DON MCGLYNN
Children at the Bellevue Childcare Center of the United Neighborhood Centers of Northeastern Pennsylvania will have a new playground thanks to the dogged persistence of a group of University of Scranton students led by senior Kaitlin Dolan, a communication major from Olyphant. Last year, Dolan and a group of students participating in the University of Scrantons Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) program attempted to obtain a grant for a playground at the United Neighborhood Center (UNC) on Emmett Street in Scranton. When their grant application failed to receive funding, Dolan took it upon herself to apply for a Pepsi Challenge Grant. Although it was one of the projects selected to compete for funding in the national grant initiative, and despite generating much community support for the proposal, the project didnt win the competition. Still determined to secure funding for the playground, Dolan and a second group of SIFE students competed for a Lowes Grant awarded through a SIFE organization competition. This effort paid off. The students won a $2,000 grant from Lowes for the playground, which will be built this summer. Michael Hanley, executive director of UNC, said during a recent groundbreaking ceremony for the playground that a playground had been planned since the center was built, however, the center never had the funding to construct it. Dolan, junior Caroline Bligh of Basking Ridge, N.J., senior Jacqueline Sembor of Thompson, Conn., and other students in the SIFE program arranged for the groundbreaking ceremony.

Members of the West Scranton Hyde Park Neighborhood Watch were found serving the community in a different way than theyre used to last week. Several members of the group took part in a Guest Bartender Fundraiser on Monday, April 30 at Kilcoynes in Scranton. Its our first fundraiser of the year, said West Scranton Hyde Park Neighborhood Watch President Karin Foster. We have several new members so we thought it would be a good way for everyone to socialize and get to know one another. The group was able to raise close to $500 during the event from tips and selling 50/50 raffle tickets. The money raised will go toward the second annual West Scranton Hyde Park Community Day scheduled for Saturday, May 12 from 8 a.m. to noon at Jackson Street Skate Park. The Community Day will include a used tire collection, bicycle safety course, plant sale and a shredding event, with shredding provided by AllShred.

SCRANTON CITY COUNCIL
Recovery Plan remains incomplete

Council approves borrowing
SCRANTON City Council unanimously approved the first reading of unfunded debt legislation that will approve up to $26.6 million in borrowing and refinancing during their May 3 meeting, but not before discussing the importance of the citys now late Revised Recovery Plan and how it will play into the citys financial future. In order to pay back 2011 debt, the city was approved to borrow $9.85 million by the Lackawanna County Court of Common Pleas on Jan. 27, and the legislation approves this borrowing as well as the refinancing of $8.6 million in existing debt for a total of $18.45 million. Up to $26.6 million could be approved depending on interest rates, the pricing on the bonds, and other factors.
Councilman Pat Rogan was absent from the meeting, so the first reading was approved with a vote of 4-0. It is expected to be given final approval with a second and third reading at councils meeting on Thursday, May 10. Councilman Bob McGoff said that while he was glad to see the unfunded borrowing on the agenda, he believes the citys Revised Recovery Plan must be tackled immediately, as it was due by April 30. I believe that the next step, the next thing that we need to do, is to confront the Recovery Plan. Demands are being made on the city to implement a Recovery Plan and I know we dont want to rush into something that we dont agree withbut I believe that if we dont begin to act, if we dont become very proactive with this
Recovery Plan and we dont put something in line that the future of the budget is in jeopardy and I think that the future economic status of the city is in great jeopardy, McGoff emphasized. Also, I think we ourselves start to become liable for the failures since we did include it in the budget. At the request of the lending institutions, legislation passed during a special meeting of council on Jan. 30 required council to work closely with the mayor and the citys Act 47 coordinator, the Pennsylvania Economy League, on a Revised Recovery Plan in order to secure a $11.5 million 2012 Tax Anticipation Note. The city declared Act 47 distressed status in 1992, last revising its Recovery Plan in 2002.

banks are more interested in the citys audit being completed on time, as the 2010 budget was not released until 2012 and has historically been late. According to the citys Home Rule Charter, the budget must be completed by May 31; the city expects completion of the 2011 audit by July, Council Vice President Frank Joyce added. Evans also insisted that some form of a payment plan for the Oct. 19, 2011 state Supreme Court ruling regarding delayed collective bargaining awards that are estimated to cost up to half of the citys annual operating budget must be included in the revised plan as well. We cant keep raising taxes. We have to generate money within our own city, and theres many ways to do it and many ways that were overlooked for yearsIm definitely discouraged with having to look at borrowing that amount of money, and what discouraged me a little bit is the fact that (it) doesnt include the arbitration awards, Councilman Jack Loscombe agreed. Im really worried because were jumping through hoops to borrow this, so I dont know where were going to get that money. Council again discussed changing the classification of the city from a second class A city to a third class city, which will allow the city to implement a commuter tax as well as possibly change the structure of city government. A commuter tax will be important to the citys revised plan, Evans said, but Gov. Tom Corbett has not responded to at least two requests from council to certify the citys census results from the last two years, which is legally required to making the change.

Old Forge Police Captain James Krenitsky, 34, of Old Forge, who has been accused of molesting a 15-year-old girl in 2005, was arraigned Thursday, May 3, and remanded to Lackawanna County Prison in lieu of $25,000 bail. Krenitsky was arrested by Pennsylvania State Police on Wednesday, May 2, and has been charged with involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, indecent assault and corruption of a minor. The woman accusing Krenitsky went to the Lackawanna County district attorneys office on Wednesday, May 2, to report
that when she was 15 she was a victim of sexual assault by a member of the Old Forge Borough Police Department, according to a criminal complaint. The complaint states that the victim, now 23, became a member of the Old Forge Fire Department in September of 2004. The fire department is located at 310 S. Main St, Old Forge, and is attached to the police station. During her time as a member of the fire department, the victim allegedly became friends with Krenitsky, and the relationship became sexual in early 2005. A preliminary hearing for Krenitsky has been scheduled for Monday, May 9 at 11 a.m.

turn, agreed to lease the stadium for 30 years. You wont have an enclosed, dark corridor with no view to the field, which is, of course, what you have now, Schmitt said. Schmitt compared the anticipated look to the popular Coca-ColaParkinAllentown, home of the International League rival Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs, who replaced the former Scranton/WilkesBarre Red Barons as the top affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies. A power point presentation helped Schmitt create a picture of the new stadium in a more than half-hour description of the project at the public hearing at the Scranton Cultural Center on April 25. Not much will remain of the previous PNC Field, which originally opened as Lackawanna County Stadium in 1989. Although the seats will be removed and the concrete in the area will be refurbished, the lower bowl structure will remain in place. The playing field, which was replaced two years ago, will remain as is. The five-year-old home locker room will be preserved. The parking lots and existing utilities will be kept. A groundskeepers bunker in left field also will be retained. Everything else will be new, Schmitt said. Gone will be the entire existing hulking, steel structure and concrete ramps. Among what will be missing will be the entire upper deck and its steep steps. Apartylevel,includingluxury suites and club seats, will be added where the current luxury box and pressbox level exists. Schmitt said the design objectives were to create a 360degree concourse, eliminate the upper deck and provide a choice of seating options whileimprovingthefanexperience while creating a signature feature.
That signature feature will be blending the outfield walkwayintothesideofthemountain,whichprovidesthebackdrop beyond the outfield. What we believe the signature feature is now is the view out beyond the outfield wall, Schmitt said. In the new ballpark, we aim to enhance that feature by extending the main concourse around the outfield, connecting it to the hillside, literally marrying the hillside with the ballpark. So, the hillside is not only a backdrop but a part of the stadium. Without the upper deck, the stadium seating will be reduced but the addition of rail viewing and outfield lawn seating will leave it with a capacity of 10,000, matching the International Leagues minimum requirement. The lawn areas will be on each side of the batters eye, the solid wall beyond the center-field fence to create a backdrop for hitters. There will also be a playground along the concourse in center field. The rail viewing will be provided alongside the concourse around the outfield. There will be 7,500 fixed seats, Schmitt said. The balance will be made up by lawn seats and standing areas. The three sections behind home plate will be premium seatingthatis22incheswide. Those sections will be flanked with 20-inch wide seats. Beyond the dugouts, further down the foul lines, the seats will be 19 inches wide. The renovations include one that will have an impact on play. Outfield dimensions remain the same, but the wall height will be altered from its existing 14 feet to 8 feet, 5 inches, the height at Yankee Stadium in New York. Lowering the height makes it that much more of an intimate experience for fans enjoying the game against the rail in the outfield, Schmitt said, and, it does provide an opportunity that does not exist today for a player to take a stab at one of those dramatic plays where he robs a home run by reaching over the fence.

payments for maintenance and improvements to the stadium. As the company brought in to manage the Scranton/WilkesBarre Yankees, Mandalay has been criticized for its role in declining attendance and a failure to connect with local fans. Matin insisted those days are gone and, in a commitment that was not part of last weeks public meetings about the stadium, said the rebuilt stadium will honor the history of which OBrien spoke. We look at it and see this as a great marketing opportunity, Matin said. Theres such a great baseball history. Were actually in the new ballpark going to build a heritage wall that reflects all that all the way back to the various teams that have played here, highlighting some of the players and some of the special events. Attendance reached its lowest point in the 22-year history of International League baseball in the region during 2011 and the Scranton/WilkesBarre Yankees are spending the entire 2012 season on the road while borrowing temporary home stadiums in six other cities. The view of the 2013 season, however, involved nothing but promise Monday. This is a great day for Lackawanna County because it marks the beginning of the rebirth of baseball in northeastern Pennsylvania along with a continued partnership with
Mandalay Baseball and the New York Yankees, Lackawanna County commissioner Jim Wansacz said. Matin and New York Yankees chief operating officer Lonn Trost were among those who joined local officials for the event. The parties worked through lengthy negotiations to revise the sales agreement for the team to make it work as well as possible for all parties involved. Trost said this was done because it is something that is important to the citizens, its important to the economy and its important for the players that we are going to bring through our system. We dont just want a place for them to be and a place for them to play. We want them to be comfortable in an area. Trost said the Yankees will seek public input to see if the team should keep the name Yankees. If the public wants a change, he said the public would be polled a second time for suggested names. Matin said the search for the next team president and general manager is underway. He is handling those responsibilities in the interim, in place of Kristen Rose, who has taken a new position within Mandalay. Its a very important role for the team president to be out in the community and be more accessible, Matin said, in a commitment to another change from past Mandalay practices. Matin said the commitment is in place for the construction crews to complete work by the April 4, 2013 season opening without any need to ask the International League for schedule adjustments.

I was exposed to (firefighting) as I was growing up. It was something that I always wanted to do, enjoyed immensely once I was able to get involved with it, and something that I just continued to do ever since. With a bachelors degree in Fire Science from the University of Maryland, he spent his early career in upstate New York learning from his fire chief father, later battled flames in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., and presently mentors his son in the family business. Every area can have unique challenges. I think, for example, in the area that I was in when I went to school in Maryland, we had a lot more multiple residencies in other words, garden apartment buildings, townhouses, highrise apartment buildings, and the like. That can be contrasted with Scott Township,

Gary R. Rymans three-decade career as a firefighter may have given him pride and a wealth of knowledge to pass on to his son, but it also earned him a lot of stories. The second of three generations of firefighters, the 50year-old Scott Twp. resident spent over 30 years risking life and limb in several states, including a run as chief of the Scott Twp. Hose Company, and has been employed as a fire protection engineer for over 25 years. Now in the twilight of his career as firefighter, Ryman spent about four years chronicling his familys tales in the Fire Men: Stories from Three Generations of a Firefighting Family, released in April 2011. I wanted to write down some of the stories, some of my stories and some of the stories from my father, essentially just to capture them. I had no real reason, and I thought maybe it would be something down the road that my kids and maybe their kids would ultimately be interested in. So I kept writing down
where one of the major issues that we have to deal with is water because of lack of fire hydrants, Ryman noted. Friends of mine who are in the fire service have read it and they liked it because it made them remember their own experiences and their own stories, and it brought back things for them. Ive had people read it without fire service experience and what they liked about it was essentially being able to learn what we really do and some of the things that we really see that they had no earthly idea about. Despite his accomplishments, he admitted that he didnt believe his book was going to be published until he wrote his name on the con-
tract after several changes in agents, editors, and publishers, finally publishing with Tribute Books in Archbald. There were a lot of stories that arent in the book that I wrote. I just tried to pick the ones that I thought would help to paint the overall picture. Obviously, some are hopefully amusing, some are tragic, and some are kind of in between. That was also part of it, trying to get a balance or a mix. It wasnt designed, obviously, to be a complete humor book, but on the other side of the coin, I dont think

FILM
Continued from page 14 Film
endured over a decade of non-stop blockbuster adaptations of their favorite superheroes and villainsto mixed results. Sometimes we get Iron Man, but most times we get Spider-Man 3. Even with the best of the best of these movies, we make certain compromises with the big-screen portrayals of these beloved icons. We accept the excuses from suits all the time who say, Well, this cant be like the comic because We accept that theyre two different storytelling mediums. We accept budgetary limits, time constraints, and simply that theyre going to change things. We must not accept these as the standard. Not anymore. Writer/Director Joss Whedon is one of us, and it shows. The Avengers is two hours and 22 minutes of exactly what fans have been asking for. Its funny, its sad, its shocking, its heartfelt, and its fun. Its not some migraine-inducing, sloppy mess that warrants an instant reboot two years later. Its not some mishmash of ideas by 15 different script writers directed by some hack known for buddy comedies or cheesy kids movies. But I digress this is a time to celebrate, not to dwell on past grievances. The Avengers, as if you hadnt already heard, is the story of how six heroes, each introduced in previous Marvel Studios films, must band together under the direction of a secretive law enforcement agency called S.H.I.E.L.D. to fight an invading alien army that was brought to Earth by a power-hungry madman with god-like powers. As Im sure youve also heard,
this is kind of a big deal because this is the first time this has ever been done with the rights to many comic characters spread out across many different studios, it has been legally impossible for most characters to meet in the same movie, and while crossovers are common in the source material, theyre usually too busy telling one person or teams tale in film to add any more characters to deal with. This movie not only does so, but does it well. Each Avenger is given a moment to shine, and some in ways you wouldnt anticipate. The arrogant Iron Man shows that hes vulnerable. Bruce Banner, a.k.a. the Hulk, finds that being sad and lonely isnt all its cracked up to be. Black Widow proves that women dont always have to be portrayed as sensitive, defenseless eye-candy. Hawkeye has an interesting role in the first half of the film that I wont spoil, and he spends the rest of the time proving that archers are actually quite useful on a team that can harness lightning and crush buildings. Even tough guy Nick Fury shows that he has a conscience. To top it all off, Captain America is trying to adapt to a world hes decades removed from while Thor is hoping to reconnect and reason with his adopted brother, Loki, who is hell-bent on destroying the world he loves. Combine all these subplots with the fact that none of these people can just get along long enough to save the world and youve got all the dramatic struggles and flaws that have been built into these characters for decades on full display. Ive known them for that long, yet I was still genuinely surprised throughout the duration of the film, completely thrown off time after time with few moments to recover.
Its also one of the only movies Ive seen that looks and feels more like a comic book rather than an action movie starring superheroes. We not only get absolutely epic action sequences where each characters unique traits and abilities are on display, but we also get to see heroes battling each other before taking on the bad guys, a standard in the comics than always keeps readers debating who would win in a fight. They all don costumes that actually resemble their comic counterparts, and their actions exemplify what makes each individual great. Most importantly, the heroes are really good and the villains are really bad. The stakes are high and casualties are suffered. The one-liners are genuinely witty, and the plot and its many subplots remain interesting. You may think these would be givens, but theyre really not anymore. It also completely avoids the usual clich story arc of: 1. Hero gets or discovers powers. 2. Hero learns to deal with these powers. 3. Hero meets villain, who is usually someone his or her alter ego is connected to. 4. Villain also comes into power, but uses it for evil or is driven mad by it. 5. Hero reluctantly fights villain. 6. Villain dies so he or she cant come back for a sequel for no good reason. Its not perfect, of course, as The Avengers takes for granted that youve seen all the previous films leading up to it and can easily lose those who dont speak science fiction mumbo jumbo in parts. After an action-filled opening, the first act starts out slow until it punches into hyperdrive, which can be overwhelming
at times, but usually in a good way. And while the main conflict is actually quite simple, theres so little to nitpick because therere just so many memorable moments thrown at you that you dont care. Ive been on rollercoasters that were less exciting and emotionally stimulating than this was, so when Whedon throws in added bonuses like the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier and a hidden villain, you truly cant ask for more. Well, maybe you can, but not from this installment in franchise filmmaking. As I said before, this is a triumph for the filmmakers, cast, and crew, but Hollywood screwed up when they released this one because, from now on, these types of movies will constantly be held up the spectacle that is The Avengers. Theyll actually have to hire real screenwriters now with real directors to bring these ambitious scripts to life. The action sequences will no longer be a few punches followed by a few explosions. The actors will all have to seem like they were born to play their roles as they deliver lines that will be quoted throughout pop culture for generations to come. Thats wishful thinking, of course, but considering the overwhelming financial success of the movie during is opening weekend, combined with record-setting reception in overseas markets, I think a few of those empty suits will be forced to take notice. You can pump out Green Lantern or Ghost Rider and make a few quick bucks, sure, but if you want the kind of haul that would make Donald Trump envious, youve got to buck conventions and give the people something they havent seen before. At the very least, give us another one of these. Weve waited long enough.

First Friday welcomes JMPP

Maggie OBrien, Jenny Hill and Andrea Talarico performed in "I I I Me Me Me I I I.
irst Friday Scranton held its monthly art walk this past Friday, May 4, and a new addition to the event was a special performance by the Jason Miller Playwright Project (JMPP). JMPP performed the short play "I I I Me Me Me I I I" four times Friday night. The play tells the story of four characters dealing with the impending end of the world. Each is dealing with this in their own way, and they are so wrapped up in themselves, and their own issues, theyre not communicating with each other. Staging "I I I Me Me Me I I I" seemed appropriate with Apocalypse being the theme for the JMPPs second annual local playwrights invitational, Dyonisia 12, which will run the last two weeks of September. First Friday also gave the group a platform to announce the fall event, and a chance to encourage local writers to submit one-page proposals for Dyonisia 12, for their own short play with the same theme. In between performances, volunteers were seen handing out flyers with program guidelines and a list of other upcoming events. The deadline for Dyonisia 12 proposals is Sunday, May 20. In addition to proposals for short plays, JMPP is also interested in proposals for multimedia pieces and scripts for full-length plays for its 2013 season.

Cultural Center hosts First Friday Art Auction

IF YOU GO
What: First Friday Scranton Art Auction When: Friday, May 11 from 6 to 9 p.m. Where: Scranton Cultural Center, Cost: $10 Info: www.firstfridayscranton.com
irst Friday Scranton Executive Director Jeff Boris said he thinks its going to be hard for someone to leave the third annual First Friday Scranton Art Auction at the Scranton Cultural Center, on Friday, May 11, empty handed. Boris prediction is fueled mainly by the abundance of items those in attendance will have to choose from, including an estimated 40 pieces of art on the auction block, a silent auction featuring gift certificates and merchandise and a wine pull. If you show up to the auction, for the most part, I would say (almost) every single person will come away with something, said Boris. The art auction serves as a fundraiser for First Friday Scranton, with a portion of the proceeds raised going to the artists of the pieces being auctioned off and First Friday Scranton collecting the rest. In addition to a monthly art walk, held the first Friday of every month with art galleries and businesses around downtown Scranton displaying work, the not-for-profit organization also provides trolley bus service and a monthly guide for First Friday. Now in its third year, First Friday Scranton has done what they can to keep the art auction fresh. This year that meant moving the location of the auction from the MAC Gallery on Wyoming Ave., in Scranton, where the event was held its first two years, to the

Albright is the place for legal resources

Laws and Institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind, Sir Francis Bacon. Laws can be found in institutions such as libraries. This is a good thing because public libraries, often called The Peoples University, are open to everyone free-of-charge regardless of background or income.
The Albright Memorial Library makes it possible for everyone, attorneys or laymen, to find law resources quickly and easily. Law publications such as the U.S Code, Code of Federal Regulations, Purdons Pennsylvania Statutes and Consolidated Statutes Annotated, Pennsylvania Code, Westlaw, and other titles can all be found in the Reference Department. The Albright Memorial Library has been a government documents library since 1895 so we have a wide array of Federal legal resources. The United States Code is a collection of books of the permanent laws of the United States. The Code of Federal Regulations is another federal government legal resource that contains permanent regulations of different agencies in the government. The library also has United States Reports starting in 1936 which contain cases presented before The United States Supreme Court. The last of the federal government legal resources are the Statutes at Large. Every law, public and private, ever enacted by the Congress is published in this resource in order of the date of its passage. The librarys collection begins with the 1960 edition and continues through the present. The library also has a great collection of Pennsylvania legal resources. One of the most popular is the Purdons Pennsylvania Statutes, which con-

tain legislative branch actions. Another series of books called the Pennsylvania Code contains judicial and executive rules and regulations. The Pennsylvania Reporter can be used to find cases heard before the Supreme Court, Superior Court and District Courts. Other state resources available in the Reference Department include the Pennsylvania Tenant and Landlord Law, Pennsylvania Child Custody, and Pennsylvania Domestic Relations Lawsource. Something many may not know is that the popular online legal database, Westlaw, is available for free at the library. Westlaw allows the user online access to state and federal law cases that can be searched by case citation or by keyword. Law forms and some of the librarys print collection are also accessible through Westlaw. One of the most useful features of Westlaw feature is the nutshell books on legal materials. These books are reference sources that provide quick and to-the-point information about legal issues. Some of the topics covered include real estate finance, American legal system, and elder law. The library has many other legal titles, both in the Reference Department and in the Adult Departments circulating collection. Upcoming additions to the Reference collection include 101 Laws Forms for Personal Use, and Represent Yourself in Court: How to Prepare & Try a Winning. If you have any questions about the resources mentioned in this article, please stop by the Reference Department, call us at 348.3000 ext. 3008 or email us at refdept@albright.org. All of these services are free with your library card. If you do not have one, come in and get one today.

ticularly those involving children or neighbors or people they know or anything like that, is affected by it in one way or another. I think that to a certain degree it, and I talked about this in the book a little bit, hardens you to certain things, and on the other side of the coin, it makes you want to avoid certain things. For example, you have to work through these incidents and you have to remain focused on them in order to do the job, but because of doing all this, I guess, I dont find movies or TV shows where the boys dog gets shot entertaining. Sad things like that I just avoid because Ive seen enough real world tragedy that I really dont go looking for it on TV for entertainment. The finished product, however, has a happy ending. My son had not that long before (he) turned 18, which meant he was of age to be able to go inside, as we put
it go into the building. You dont know when that first time is ever going to come as far as a real situation, and I didnt know if I would be around when that happened, as far as being on that particular incident with him, he continued. So when it turned out that I was and actually got to be on the line with him his first time inside, that was, to me, almost like a fairytale way of being able to end the book. But it really did happen! While he has done several signings, the fourth free Writers Showcase at New Visions Studio and Gallery on Saturday, May 12 will mark the first time that the author will read excerpts from his book aloud to a live audience, and Ryman continues to tread on entirely different territory as he pursues a masters degree in American History, researches his thesis, and begins work on a fiction novel about his soonto-be former profession. I think itll be fun. I hope it gets a good reaction, Ryman said of the reading. All I can really bring is just my stories, and I hope that people find them interesting.

Scranton Cultural Center. The Cultural Center had always been looking to get involved in First Friday, so they were more than happy to host for usand were very thankful for that, said Boris. Just considering what it stands for, its one of the most historic buildings in Scranton so it makes us a little more visible, which is always good, especially for the arts. The arts can be a little underground at times, so its good to be on top of the pile going hey, check out whats here. Boris said he feels the change in location will also result in a change in dynamic to the auction. Whereas in years past everything was happening in one space at the same time, the Scranton Cultural Centers setup will allow different events to be separated.

Almost every single person we approached was like, First Friday is a great thing for this area. Amidst all the changes this year, one thing that will be the same is the return of professional auctioneer Ken Rivenburg who will once again act as master auctioneer, auctioning off this years collection of works, almost exclusively done by area artists. Almost 100 percent of (the artists) are from this area, if not even just Scranton proper, said Boris. The one or two that arent, someone recommended them, so theres ties either way. Everyone has a tie. Live entertainment will be provided by progressive jazz fusion band Rogue Chimp, and former Lackawanna County Commissioner Mike Washo will serve as emcee.

The Robert Spagna Lackawanna Track Conference Championship Meet is scheduled for Tuesday, May 8 and the District 2 Championships follow a week later. At a time when coaches are becoming particularly cautious about just what is

the right workload for their athletes, the Jordan Relays remain viable as a proper transition from the regular season to the postseason. The Abington Heights girls and Valley View boys completed LTC Division 1 championship seasons Monday, April 30 then turned in Jordan Relay Class AAA titlewinning efforts three days later. It is our girls favorite event of the year, Abington Heights coach Frank Passetti said after the Lady Comets won the Class AAA girls title for the sixth straight year. Abington Heights was responsible for two of the six records that fell with Taylor Ross and Erin Jaeger taking part in both. Its kind of a relaxed atmosphere where they get to do events that they do not
normally do, Passetti said. It comes at a good time of the season where they finished up with their dual meet season, theyre getting ready to go into the league meet and then into districts. Holy Cross finished second behind Scranton, a Class AAA school, in the LTC Division 2 boys race. Scoring against other teams of their size at the Jordan Relays, the Crusaders continued their climb in the sport with the Class AA championship. Montrose, another Class AA team that goes against a mixture of AAA and AA competition in the regular season in Division 2, won the other girls championship. Although many more events, including those on the field will be part of the league, district and state events to come, both the Crusaders and Lady Meteors showed they can be a factor in the postseason. Its a nice way to ease into the busiest time of your sea-
son and get ready for districts and leagues, Passetti said. Ross, Erin Jaeger and Michaelina Holmes were each on two winning relays for the Abington Heights girls. Missy Burke and Holmes followed Ross and Erin Jaeger for the record time of 9:48.89 in the opening distance medley, which featured an 800 leg, followed by two 400s and a 1600 anchor. Jenn Burke, Briana Jaeger, Ross and Erin Jaeger formed the record-setting, 4x800 relay team that finished in 9:43.77. The Valley View and Mid Valley boys and the Lakeland girls all set records in the 4x100 relay, which unlike some of the specialty events from the Jordan Relays, will be part of the meets that remain. Robert Castellani, Tyler Phillips, Nyeem Wartman and Garrett Rupe set the Class AAA boys mark for Valley View in 43.48 seconds. Antonio Russo, Matthew

Tanner, Ronnie Tomasetti and Kyle Laniewski set the Class AA boys record for Mid Valley in 43.51. Lakeland established the Class AA girls record when Tori Doyle, Sarah Larkin, Emily Williams and Cassidy Jenkins finished in 50.49. Honesdale added a Class AAA girls record in the 4x400 relay. Holy Cross matched Valley View by posting 56 of a possible 60 points and winning their classification in four out of six events. The Crusaders top athletes gave a hint that they can handle a heavy workload in a big meet. Andrew Nelson and Albert Milner were each part of three winning relays for Holy Cross. John Milner, Joe Merli and Rico Galassi were on two winners. Phillips, Wartman, Rupe, Brandon Jackson and Brandon Bednash were each part of two winning relays for Valley View.

East-West All-Star Game returns

HIGH SCHOOL NOTEBOOK
NEWS
Lackawanna County will be well represented today, Sunday, May 6 when the Pennsylvania State Football Coaches Association East-West All-Star Game returns after a one-year hiatus. Abington Heights coach Joe Repshis, a West Scranton graduate, will be the head coach of the East team in the game that will be played at Gateway High School in Monroeville at 2 p.m. Riversides Evan Prall, another West Scranton graduate who has been working with defensive backs and special teams, and Lackawanna Trails Steve Jervis, who has been working with the offense, are among the assistant coaches for Repshis. DeVaughn Chollette of West Scranton, J.J. Fives of Scranton Prep, Joe Dolan of Abington Heights and Mike Galantini of Valley View are all on the East roster for the game, which involves graduating high school football players. The East-West Game was held in Altoona from 2001 to 2010 for the top players not selected for the Pennsylvania roster for the Big 33 Game. Plans call for the game to rotate annually and be played in an eastern site next season. Corry Areas Homer DeLattre is the head coach of the West for the game, which is sponsored by Childrens Hospital of Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh-based Red Zone Media, in conjunction with Attinick Media, will broadcast the game. It can be heard online at redzonemedia.com, easternpafootball.com and westernpafootball.com. Alex Panormios will be the play-by-play announced. His broadcast team will also include Chris Kucharski, the editor of northeastpafootball.com, and Eddie Walker, who is part of game broadcasts for Fox Sports Radio The Game in Scranton. BOYS TENNIS Unbeaten Lackawanna League division champions Abington Heights and Scranton Prep are among the teams in

Division 1: Abington Heights 12-0, Delaware Valley 10-2, Wallenpaupack 7-5, Scranton 7-5, Honesdale 3-9, North Pocono 3-9, West Scranton 0-12. Division 2: Scranton Prep 11-0, Valley View 8-3, Montrose 6-5, Mid Valley 3-8, Western Wayne 1-10. Division 3: Holy Cross 7-2, Dunmore 5-4, Riverside 0-9.
Western Wayne is 9-1. Holy Redeemer stopped North Pocono, 25-17, 25-17, 2518, in a battle between the Wyoming Valley Conferences last two unbeatens on Thursday, May 3. WRESTLING High school wrestlers who are called for a third stalling violation will receive a stiffer penalty beginning in the 2012-13 season, according to a National Federation of State High School Associations press release. In addition to picking up two points, the opponent will receive a choice of position on the restart following the third stalling call. The NFSHSA Wrestling Rules Committee made the decision at its annual meeting last month. Most NFSHSA rules recommendations are subsequently followed by the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association. The change to the third stalling penalty resulted from the committees desire to encourage wrestlers to wrestle aggressively by providing greater incentive not to stall, Dale Pleimann, the rules committee chair, said in the press release. No one likes to see a wrestler disqualified for stalling. The hope is that by increasing the third stalling penalty, a wrestler who has been penalized twice will be encouraged to pick up the pace. In another change, the dual meet weigh-in procedure will we adjusted to align with the random draw of starting weights.

He set a meet record at the Lasagna Invitational in Wyalusing then suffered his first loss of the season the next day in Lock Haven while falling short by inches to take second with another impressive effort. Kyle, for the last three years, has been going to invitationals in the winter and spring, Prall said. It was his idea to go up there.

Davis has also done well in the shot put, finishing first in five of six LTC Division II meets, but he feels he has his best shot at keeping up with and outperforming bigger opponents in the discus.

Penguins even things up The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins split two games in Newfoundland to return to Wilkes-Barre tied, 1-1, in their best-of-seven Calder Cup Eastern Conference semifinal series against the St. Johns IceCaps. The teams were scheduled to play Game Three Saturday night, May 5, at the Mohegan Sun Arena, followed by a game today, Sunday, May 6 at 4 p.m. and Tuesdays 7 p.m. game. Defenseman Joey Mormina scored the game-winner on a short-handed goal 2:38 into the third period of Wednesdays 3-1 victory to even the series. The IceCaps won the first game, 3-1 on Tuesday, May 1. For coverage of Saturday nights Game Three, see www.golackawanna.com/ sports. Scranton/Wilkes Barre Yankees extend winning streak The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees went on a five-game winning streak April 27 through Wednesday, May 2 to improve to 14-9 in the International League and move into a battle for the North Division lead. The Yankees knocked the Lehigh Valley IronPigs out of the lead with three straight wins. Heading into the weekend, first baseman Steve Pearce was third in the IL with a .372 batting average. Former University of Scranton coach named to hall of fame Bob Bessoir, who coached the University of Scranton to mens basketball national titles
(1.20) is ninth. In her three seasons with the Huskies, Pientack is averaging .394 with 170 hits, 112 runs scored, 37 home runs and 134 RBI. Behind the plate, Pientack made just four errors on 428 chances (.991) this season. The versatile player was the teams first baseman as a sophomore and third baseman as a junior. In her three seasons, she made just 21 errors on 811 chances. Bloomsburg earned an NCAA Division II Tournament berth despite the fact that the Huskies were beaten 10-9 to Indiana in the PSAC title game. IUP is also going to the tournament. Arcure chipping in Scranton Prep graduate Steve Arcure is not having a big season at the plate but the senior outfielder is still a valuable player for the William & Mary baseball team. The 6-foot, 170-pound lefthanded hitter, is batting .238 (24-for-101) with six doubles and two triples. He has 12 RBI and 20 runs scored and has three stolen bases. In the field, he hasnt made an error on 48 chances. Arcure is a career .282 hitter (150-for-532), with 31 doubles, six triples and three home runs. He has 83 RBIs and has scored 97 runs. In the field, hes made just one error on 221 chances (.995). Steve has battled through a difficult season personally, but continues to try to be a senior leader, said coach Frank Leoni. He had a good stretch in the middle of the season where he was moved to third in the batting order. Still, there is no way that Leoni will put a veteran presence like Arcure on the bench as the season winds down. We need Steves contributions down the stretch as we contend for a spot in the league (Colonial Athletic Association) post-season, the coach said. Lynn helps Raiders Freshman Makenzie Lynn of Carbondale had a solid first season pitching for the Ship-
in 1976 and 1983, has been named to the Middle Atlantic Conference Hall of Fame as part of the conferences 100year celebration. Bessoir led the Royals to 14 conference titles in the MAC and four Final Fours. Bessoir ranks seventh in Scranton history with 838 career rebounds, including a school record 43 in his final game, a 78-76 victory over Kings College March 5, 1955.

Davis qualified for districts for the first time as a sophomore, finishing 10th. He scored points for the team on the district level for the first time last season, but is aiming toward closing out his career in the state meet. To get there, Davis will need to repeat what he has done in invitationals. Competing along with his teammates earlier this year in East Stroudsburg, he threw a career-best 160-2. Davis set the meet record of 152-5 at Wyalusing. With the league meet ahead on Tuesday, May 8 and the District 2 championships a week later, Davis is completing his preparation for the postseason.

He was not pleased with his 2011 effort and went right back to the work in the summer, getting additional coaching on his technique. Assistant coach Ken Bednash has worked with Davis this season, including helping him match his weight training to what is most useful for the throwing events. Hes doing a phenomenal job in the weight room, Prall said. Hes got great dedication and great heart. He loves the sport and is extremely coachable. Hell come down to the weight room at 8 oclock after meets. Hes one of the most dedicated athletes Ive ever had.
