Social media, like

Facebook, Twitter,

Google+, Pinterest

and LinkedIn, have

changed the playing field in

terms of where businessescan advertise their services,

andwhethertheyrealize it or

not, its changedthe way they

need to advertise as well.

While these services all

give businesses the opportu-

nity to spread word of their

business or product to awider audience than ever be-

fore, if not used properly the

time and resources spent try-

ing to utilize these media

sites could be wasted.

The problem that we noticedwas that, especially in local mar-kets, is that people think that so-cial media marketing is free,

where in reality its not, because itrequiresa lotof time,a lot ofeffortand you have to learn it usuallythrough mistakes, said CharlesSzymanski.

Szymanski and Andrew Torba,both graduates of Riverside HighSchools Class of 2009, foundedKuhcoon in October of 2011 tohelp guide businesses, both local-ly andinternationally, as theyven-

ture into the world of socialmedia.For a fee, the company can pro-

vide businesses with a socialmedia community manager who

will take the lead in managing theoverall efforts of a businesss so-cial media strategy. This can in-clude writing and posting con-tent, monitoring accounts andrunning targeted creative ad cam-paigns.

In a short amount of time, Kuh-coon has alreadyhelped a numberof businesses locally, like BittyBills Ice Cream, and internation-ally, like Burnetts & Struth Scot-tishRegaliaLtd.,a kiltstore basedin Canada,using its in-housetech-

nology, created by Szymanski.Thanks to this technology, and

their experience, the companyhas helped businesses avoid someof the common mistakes manymake when they first start usingsocial media.

The biggest misunderstand-ing when business owners startdoing it ontheir own is they wantto push market. So they want to

advertise in your face. But, thething is social medias not aboutpush marketing, its not about ad-

vertising, its about creating a con-versation around the brand.andyou have to offer something out-side of heres my product, heresmyservice,comeandbuyit,said

Torba.A lot of these local areas, res-

taurants and different types ofcompanies, they create almost

their own brand company, peoplethatreallylikewhat theydo,reallylike the stuff that they get there.But the problem is is that theydont really have a way to fosterthat community, to really bring itup and keep that brand in their

head, added Szymanski.Thats what we really try and

do, is create, almost the content,for (the public) to be able to con-sistently see your company orsee your brand giving them infor-mation they wouldnt get any-

where else.The idea for the business began

a little over a year agowhen Torbawas working for Dino and Fran-

cescos in Moosicand noticedthattherestaurant did nothave a Face-book page.

There was a big opportunityfor them to expand their market-ing reach, essentially for free,through Facebook, said Torba. I

just charged them to set it up, andteach them the basics of it, andfrom there I talked to (Charles)and said, How can we scale thisconsulting idea? Because I knew

right away there was a bigger op-portunity outside justthe local ar-ea, and I wantedto beable totakeit international.

The two eventually came upwiththe ideafor creating a compa-ny that would become Kuhcoon.

Torba shared the idea with fel-low Riverside graduate, VinceSmigiel, who came up with thename for the business.

He is a branding genius, saidTorba of Smigiel. (The idea is)you bring these companies intothe cocoon and you transformthem into a social media butter-fly.

Because the domain name co-

coon.com was already taken, Tor-ba and Szymanski got creativeand changed the spelling to Kuh-coon, and officially began theirbusiness in October of 2011.

A victory at the 10th annualGreat Valley Business Plan Com-petition earlier this year reallyhelped get things started for thebusiness.

Those eligibleto enter the com-petition included students from

the regions 14 colleges and uni-versities along with non-colle-giate entrepreneurs. Kuhcoon

won $50,000 in cash and in-kindsupport, including free officespace for the year at the ScrantonEnterprise Center, 201Lackawan-

na Ave., Scranton, Suite 225.The victoryhelped attract a few

investors to the business, and thfundshelpedKuhcoonincrease itsstaff to13 employees,who are jusas dedicated to making the com-pany a success as its founders.And, they hope to create betweefive to10 additionaljob opportuni-ties in the coming months.

Everyone in this office comes

in here every day, and we all lovwhat we do, said Torba. (Thday) just flies by. Andwhat hap-pens a lot of times is we go homandgetsomefoodand worksommore at home. So its a long day,but its worth it, because its re

warding, and its fun.Torba and Szymanski, both 21,

are the first to acknowledge thatheir idea of fun is a littledifferenthan their peers

Were not your typical collegstudents. We know how to havfun,butwerenotoutatthebareverysingle night of theweek, said

After taking a quick look around, its clear to most people that LaSalle The

Image Makers fine mens clothing store in Scranton is not your average

clothing store.

Depending on what corner ofthe business youre in you al-most feel like youre in Scran-tons version of the Smithso-

nian, with sports memorabilialike George Foremans boxinggloves, or antiques like a classicCoke-a-Cola soda machine ondisplay.

We have a lot of history inhere. Im not bragging, buttheres a lot of differentthings inhere, a lot of history, said LeoDAngelo, who owns the storewith his wife, Rita.

DAngelo, who began his ca-reer as a clothing manufacturer,opened LaSalle almost 40 yearsago aftermany ofthe factoriesinthe area closed their doors.

A collector of antiques all hislife, he decided to display someof his collection in the store,which has only gotten largerover theyears thanks to thehelpof those in the area.

Somebody comes in and

says, I got this. You want it? Isay, Yeah. They say I got this.You want to buy it?I say, Yeah.Thats how I collected all thisstuff, said DAngelo.

Sometimes I see somethingin the garbage and pick it out of

the garbage.Over the years, word of DAn-

gelos display has spread aroundthearea andbeyond,and recent-ly two of the countrys most fa-mous collectors got wind of it

and decided to take a trip toScrantonto see whatall the fusswas about.

In May of this year, MikeWolfe and Frank Fritz, the starsof the History Channels televi-sion series American Pickerspaida visit toLaSalle togivethecollection a look.

According to the HistoryChannels website, www.histo-ry.com/shows/american-pick-

ers, American Pickers followsWolfe and Fritz as they scourthecountry for hidden gems in jun-kyards, basements, garages,barns,and in this case a clothingstore, meeting characters andhearing their stories.

DAngelo and his son, LeoDAngelo Jr., said prior to Wolfeand Fritz ever stepping foot inthe store, the show sent a pho-

tographer to take pictures of thecollection andthen an appraiserto give it a once-over.

After thetwo visits,Wolfe andFritz decided to take a look forthemselves, and DAngelothinks they left feeling the tripwas worth it.

I think they were im-pressed, said DAngelo. Theyliked everything in here.

Filming the episode tookaround eight or nine hours, andDAngelo said he enjoyed everyminutehe got to spend with thepopular television personalities.

They were all great guys,DAngelo said of Wolfe andFritz.

They were the two nicestguysI met. They werecordial tothe people outside, they signedautographs for them, they tookpictures with them. Theyre real

gentlemen as far as that goes.In addition to his collection,

the crewwas impressedwith theother thingLaSalleis knownfor.

Delores Messarosh knows herway around Scranton.

The lifelong West Side resi-dentgrew upin the 1400 block ofBryn Mawr Street, and remem-bersriding the trolley downtownto go dancing with friends.

Ifwe missed the laststreetcar,we would just walk back, Mess-

arosh, 89,said duringa recent in-terview at the North SumnnerAvenue apartment she has calledhome for the past 43 years.

After giving up driving nearly20 years ago, Messarosh had noproblem getting around the Elec-tric City on public transit, just asshe had in her youth.

Im very independent, Ill tellyou, she said. If theres a bus go-

ing there, Ill take a bus.That is exactly how Messaroshgot to and from radiation treat-ments at Mercy Hospital whenfirst fighting breast cancer eightyears ago. It was a battle shehoped she had fought and won.

Four months ago, she learnedotherwise. Cancer had returned,in the other breast. And now thetreatment center she needed tovisit was Northeast Radiation

Oncology Centers in Dunmore, ahealthy half-mile walk from thenearest bus stop.

I walk, honey, sheexclaimed.But facing treatment five days aweek for more than a month,even the indomitable Messaroshwondered if she would have thestamina to make the crosstowntrip, complete with walking andtransfers, on her own.

A social worker at NROC rec-ommended Messarosh for theAmerican Cancer SocietysRoad to Recovery program,which matches patients with vol-unteer drivers.

It takes me for a loop, shesaid of the radiation therapy.

Because thereis noshortage ofarearesidentsfacing cancer, ACSis continuously seeking morepeople willing to transport them

to and from medical appoint-ments.

Were always in need of driv-ers said Jill Giomboni, HealthInitiatives Representative withthe local ACS office in Taylor.

From Sept. 1, 2011 through

Aug. 31, 2012, the local ACS of-fice provided 1,692 rides to 55Lackawanna County patients,Giombonisaid, andcurrently has22 drivers.

Patients interested in the ser-vice can learn more throughtheirmedical providers or throughACS, while prospective driversshould call ACS at 562.9749.

Drivers need a valid Pennsyl-

vania drivers license, automo-bile insurance, a clear back-ground and driver check. Orien-tation is provided, and volunteerassignments are flexible. Trans-portation is needed during thedaytime hours during the week,Monday through Friday. Volun-teers candrive theirown vehiclesor the American Cancer Societyvan, where available. While thepatients are from LackawannaCounty, some of their appoint-ments may be in neighboringcounties.

Messarosh, who was sched-uled to attend her last treatmentearlier thismonth,found thattheservice and drivers -- proved agood fit.

Ken is a doll, she said of Dun-more resident and volunteerdriver Ken Quigley, one of the

drivers who transported her dur-ing her treatments.

I am learning a lot from thesepeople, said Quigley, a semi-re-tired social worker. I get mystrength from the people that Idrive.

T

he population of Old

Forge in 1928 was alittle under 400 peo-

ple, and among those resi-

dents was Rose Lillian Mon-

teforte, then Riviello.

A gifted woman, she gradu-ated from Martha WashingtonSchoolof Domestic Arts andSci-ences in July of 1928 when shewas 16 years old. This accom-plishment gave her the abilitytoclothe herself and her family.

She designed and made herown wedding gown with aQueen Anne collar at age 26,which she wore when she mar-ried Angelo Monteforte, fromPittston, at St. Marys Church inOld Forge.

Over the years she found suc-cess advancing from a profes-

sional sample maker for the dif-

ferent factories in Scranton, to asupervisor. She was part of thegarment industry for 60 years.

She began her career makingclothes for her sisters and thenoutfits and gowns for the localdoctors wives. She embroider-

ed handkerchiefs, table runners

and lamp doilies.She was fantastic, I miss her

every day. She was a hardwork-ing, Italian woman, said her

granddaughter Rose Kampert.She worked her whole life

sinceshe wasa teenager. Sheranfactories of hundreds of peoplewhenI wasgrowingup. She real-ly took care of us. She cooked,she washed the clothes, she wasjustalwaysthere forus, and evenaswe got older, evenin our 30sifI needed something, Id call herfirst.

Monteforte served as a men-tor to Kampert, teaching herhow to sew at a very young age,so that by the time she wasaround 13 yearsold she wasableto make her own clothes.

This skill eventually becameapassion for Kampert, who en-rolled in the Pratt Institute aftergraduating from West ScrantonHigh School. She entered col-

The Scranton School Board ap-proved a plan that will allow stu-dents to continue attending class-es at William Prescott Elemen-tary School for the remainder ofthe 2012-2013 school year duringa special meeting on Monday,Oct. 22 at the elementary school.

The motion was approved fol-lowing the release of a lab reportby Guzek Associates Inc. thatstates that no area sampled with-in the school indicates the pres-ence of active mold growth or anairborne microbial concern.

The plan of action was createdby the Health & Safety Commit-tee of the Board of Education inconjunction with Guzek Associ-ates Inc., an environmental con-

sultant hired by the district to in-vestigate mold growth and airquality inside Prescott Elemen-tary.

Based on analytical results weconclude that each of these facil-ities (are) acceptable for use,said Superintendent William

King.The approved plan of action al-

so delegated the power to alterthe duration of the current schoolday to King.

The district is consideringlengthening each school day fromNov. 1 through the end of theyear in order to achieve the state-required 900 instructional hoursand conclude three weeks aheadof schedule. This would allowGuzek Associates Inc. more timeover the summer break to takeaction that would permanentlyeliminate the current mold prob-lem, including the complete re-moval of the cafeteria wall knownto be contaminated.

If we extend the school dayfrom 8:05 a.m. to 3 p.m. studentscould be excused by May 17,

King said. Wed be starting 15minutes earlier and getting out25 minutes later with the newproposal.

lege as a fashion design majorandquickly found that, thanks tohergrandmother, shehad a head

start on some of her classmates.The beginning of fashion de-

sign was a lot of sewing and pat-tern making, and I knew a lot ofthat already, saidKampert. So,I switched to fine arts, figuringthe art background would help

my fashion career anyway, whichit did.

After graduating from Pratt in1994, Kampert startedher careergetting a job with a designernamed Bettina Riedel and even-tually started her own clothingcompany, Love NYC, in 1990.

And as Kampert was getting

her career started, she said shewould still go to her grandmoth-er for advice.

Id bring stuff home. Id bringstuff to Scranton to have herhelpme figure it out. She ran facto-riesconstruction she knew,

said Kampert.She was an important re-

source, and she was a realkindofpillar of emotional support as Iwas growing up. She reallytaught me everythingabout busi-ness without teaching me about

business. How to go through lifeand make ends meet.

ed to be voted on by theboard at their regularly

scheduled November meet-ing.The plan also recommend-

ed continued monitoring ofthe elementary schoolthroughout the year to ensurea safe learning environment.

The continued monitoringwill include thorough clean-ing, water damage inspec-tions, removal and drying of

water damaged areas and

monitoring humidity levels.Guzek plans to continue

his inspection of the schoolover Christmas break.

Since the discovery of themold last spring, Guzek Asso-ciates Inc. has issued otherrecommendations to theschool including building astructure in the cafeteria thatencloses the known, moldy

area and reinforcing the exte-rior of the building where wa-ter was known to be entering.

Guzek said that thus far ev-ery action he has recom-mended to the school boardhas been successfully com-

pleted.Jamie Hailstone, father of

two children who attend Pres-cott Elementary, said he wassatisfied with the job that theschool district had done butthat the issue hadnt yet seenits conclusion.

Thank you for taking abad situation and making itbetter, Hailstone said. Par-ents want to continue to be apart of this process; we wantthe school to re-open.

Parents did express someconcern over potential issuesthat an irregular school day, ifapproved, may create forthem and their children. Onemother asked what a parent

would do if she had two chil-dren who were excused fromdifferent schools at the exactsame time as a result of analtered schedule. King saidthere is no easy answer tothose questions as of rightnow.

King said preliminary dis-cussions have taken placeconcerning the possibility of

establishing a three-week, 8a.m. to 6 p.m. program thatcould be put into place as asubstitute for the final three

weeks of the traditionalschool year in order to reducethe burden on parents.

PRESCOTTContinued from page 7

200th class, the first ceremony un-der new director Dan Duffy, andthe inauguration of what Duffyhopes will be an enduring tradi-tion, in whicheach classwill standfor a fallen police officer. Classes200 and 201 were dedicated to

state Trooper Joseph Welsch, anArchbald native who was killed inthe line of duty in 1977.

McCullons words could nothave been more appropriate.

Your story brought us to tears,said Jennifer Mercereau, one of

Trooper Welschs nieces who wasjust 5 when her uncle was shotwhile attempting to serve a war-rant in Tioga County.

Mercereau and relatives attend-ed to present a bullet-resistant vestto theauthorof a winning essayonbecoming a police officer. That au-thor was McCullon, a 32-year-oldfrom Old Forge who was a stay-at-homefather before deciding topur-suehis dreamof a law-enforcementcareer.

Like your speech said, this is soyou come home every night, Mer-cereau said of the vest.

Members of the troopers familyhave been raising money for sever-al years to providea memorial vestto oneof thegraduates. Thisyear, adonation from the Tri-State Troop-ers Fund will help purchase vestsforthe next year or two, Mercereau

said. Thanks to a donation from

Star Uniform, they also were abletogive $100 Star giftcertificates forbodyarmor to twoothercadets, Ja-son M. Gilbert of Scranton andRobert L. Shupp of Inkerman.

They were three of the mostpowerful statements I have everread, Mercereau said.

For Duffy, the former ScrantonPolicechief andan academygradu-ate who became director earlierthis year, the symbolism of honor-

ing a fallen officer is about respectas well as an important lesson forcadets.

I sat on the edge of my seat aspolicechief fearingthe death ofanofficer said Duffy, whoheldthe po-sition for 22 months. We neverdid.We were very fortunate in thatarea.

Duffy already has brought sever-alinnovations, including a newflagand logo, and hehad the squad carused for training lettered and de-caled in the style ofa municipal po-lice car both to feelmorerealisticfor cadets and to act as a rollingbillboardfor theprogram.And theman who made headlines as chieffor making arrests on his off-timeemphasized that he will continueto uphold high standards for ca-dets, who he hopes will benefitfrom training and discipline in the

style of a workingmunicipal policedepartment.Indeed, Duffy noted how two

prospective applicants failed thepre-entrance agility test by nine-tenths of a second.

Nine-tenths is nine-tenths, he

said. We stick withthe standard

not everybody makes it.But its the new memorial ritesthat seem closest to his heart. Ateach ceremony, the graduatingclass will hang on the schools flagan embroidered streamer bearingthe name of the officer to whichthey dedicated their studies, a tra-dition that began with streamershonoring Trooper Welsch.

The unfortunate thing about itis that the streamers will continue

to be tied on,and they wont stop,Duffy said.

Mercereau and her family knowthat all too well.

I have like three memories ofhim, she said of her uncle. Andthey were all in his uniform.

TerryThompsonisjust16,aScrantonHighSchoolstudent

with dreamsof makingit bigon the stageand screen.

Ijust triedoutformyfreshman year play andloved it,

said Thompson,whowas tappedforthe roleof Lysanderin Shak-

espeares AMidsummerNights Dream.Already, though, he has learned a thing or two about Shakespeare so

much so thatduring a recent actingworkshop at the West Side Senior

Center he tiptoed very carefullywith his question about a certainstar-crossed play.

All that wacky stuff about thecurse of the Scottish play? Its justB.S., instructor Rudy Caporaso re-plied, before continuing with thelesson.

Perhaps. But interviewed byphone a few days later about anupcoming production that TheREV Theatre Company plans to

stage withyouth participatinginthe classes hosted by UnitedNeighborhood Centers of North-eastern Pennsylvania,he hesitat-ed before invoking the name.

Maybe the 400-year-old curseholds some weight with Caporasoafter all?

Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth!heburstout.There,I said it!

Cursed or not, the Bards tragic

tale of a bloodthirsty Scottish kingremains one of Shakespeares mostpopularworks,withsomeofitslinesamong the most famous in Englishliterature. It is set to be performedJan. 18 and 19 by students takingpartin eightweeks ofdramaclasseswith REVs Caporaso and RoseyHay. The pair are co-artistic direc-tors of the New York-based compa-nythatstaged MidsummerNightsDream, its take on the classic, for

freein NayAugParklastsummerasthe inaugural production of theScranton ShakespeareFestival.

While the classes began in lateSeptember, Lackawanna Countyyouths in grades 6 through 12 stillhave an opportunity to participatein upcoming classes, and in Janu-arys performances, said April Hol-gate,coordinatorofUNCsIllumina-tion YouthArts Program.

Free workshops are scheduledfrom4 to8 p.m.on Oct. 29, Nov. 5and Nov. 26 at the center on Jack-son Street in West Scranton, withfree dinner for participants, Hol-gatesaid.

Students whowould like to take

part in Januarys play must attendat least one workshop, Holgate

said,followed by a two-weekinten-sive program in early January. In-terested students should call Hol-gate at 961.1592 ext114.Sponsoredby a county ARTS Engage! grant,this program is UNCs first theateractivity that is aimed solely atteens.

REVs Hay remembered attend-ingherfirsttheaterproductionat5,when her mother took her to seethe play Peter Pan in her native

London, an extraordinary eventthat stays with her to this day. SheandCaporasofeelstronglythatpar-ticipating in theater not justwatching does young people aworld of good.

Itshugelyimportantintermsofbuilding their self-esteem, theirconfidence, said Hay.

Theater should not be elitist,Caparaso said, stressing the com-

panys desire to bringlive perform-ance toas many peopleas possible.To that end, Hay said ScrantonShakespeare Festival hopes tostage a four-day run in Nay Augnext June, mounting a productionof The Comedy of Errors.

For Thompson, whose appear-ance at a session last weekwas hisfirst, becoming a professional per-former is very much thegoal.

Iwanttobefamousoneday,he

said resolutely.Caporaso cautioned against

fame for fames sake, to whichThompson replied his drive ismoreprofound.

I like theidea of makingmyselfinto somebody that Im not, hesaid, and trying to embody thatcharacter.

Thompson and a small group ofteens sat in a circle on the orangecarpet in an upstairs room, listen-ing as Caporaso and Hay talkedabout how to realistically projecttheir characters through body andvoice. They walked through ran-dom improvisation, role-playing,heated exchanges of Shakespear-

ian insults and, finally, a bit ofpractice from the Scottish play it-self.

I call it Macbeth, Hay addedlater, dismissingthe curse. I thinkthats an old wives tale.

Thompson,joined byfellowSHSstudent Patrick Sawyer and WestScrantonsiblings Victoria andDes-

tiney Hunsinger, stalked about theroom reciting lines uttered by thewitches whosespells dogMacbethand are cited by some as the verything that gave rise to the legend-ary curse.

Ive always loved acting, andwhenI getolder, I wantactingto bemy profession, said Victoria, who

previously took part in UNCsyouth theater program.

Her sister admitted that whilethe language of Elizabethan En-gland might seemstrange at first,itbegan togrowon her.

When you listen and get downto the basics of it, Id rather speaklike thatthan howwe speaktoday.

West Scrantonnative TheoLencicki willbe proving theold saying

you cant go home againwrong this weekend.

The West Scranton HighSchoolgraduate will be in townFriday through Sunday, Nov. 2

through 4, aspartof thetouringcompany of West Side Story,presented by the BroadwayTheater League of NEPA, at theScranton Cultural Center.

Its always exciting to comeback to Scranton. Its great tohavethe opportunity, especiallysince I was there with Hair-spray and Young Frankensteintours. They are always welcom-

ing with opening arms, and itsgreat to see the hometowncrowd, said Lencicki.

Lencicki said hes also excit-ed to be returning to the area

with a production hes suremany are going to love.

Written by Arthur Laurents,

with music by Leonard Bern-stein, lyrics by Stephen Sond-heim, and conception and cho-reography by Jerome Robbins,West Side Story was inspiredby William Shakespeares playRomeo and Juliet.

Set in New York City in themid-1950s, the musical tellsthestory of two rival street gangs,the Jets and Sharks, of different

ethnic backgrounds, and amember of the Jets, Tony, whofalls in love with Maria, the sis-ter of the leader of the Sharks.

At the end of the day (its)

about how love cant survive ina world with hate, said Len-cicki. I dont want to spoil the

endingof what happensto char-acters, but its a really powerfulmessage.

LencickiplaysRiff in theplay,leader of the Jets and Tonysbest friend.

Riff is parallel to MercutioinRomeo and Juliet, who is Ro-meos bestfriendwhereI amTo-nys bestfriend, explained Len-cicki. Hehas beenorphaned by

his family. He lives with Tony,so his family is his gang and ev-eryonelooks to himas thelead-er to make the decisions.

Its been a really great expe-

rience, and its been a role thatIve wanted to play for a while,so Im excited to have the op-portunity.

Lencicki first performed inthe play in 2010 at the GatewayPlayhouse in Long Island, N.Y.asa memberof theJets. Hesaidhes happy thatthis timearoundhe would be tackling the role ofRiff.

I think, as far as my musical

theater background, its a greatrole that incorporates the act-ing as well as the singing, be-cause Riff does sing two of thesongs in the show as well asthe dancing, saidLencicki.Soits a very versatile role thatshowcases a lot.

Lencicki started showcasingwhat he could do Oct. 29 whenthetour officially began in Elmi-

ra, N.Y. West Side Story willbe on tour until June makingstopsin up to 80 cities. Thecastwill be performing in Erie onThursday, before coming to the

Scranton Cultural Center.I think the show will remainfresh and exciting throughoutthe tour, but its great that(Scrantons) one of the firststops. Thatthey canexperienceit fresh out of the gate, saidLencicki. I think theyre goingto get a great show.

And, in addition to givingtheaudience a great show, beingthe only member of the cast

from the area, hes also lookingto show the cast and crew agood time while theyre intown.

Ill be showing them theElectric City, laughed Len-cicki.

We have five shows thatweekend, so its pretty jam-packed, but if I could hop in mycar and show them West Side

HighSchooland take themoverto the hot spots over in WestSide, I think it would be a per-fect opportunity, especially giv-en the show were doing.

West Side Story will open the Broadway Theater League of NEPAs season on Friday, Nov. 2 at the Scranton Cultural Center.

BUFFALO, N.Y. Former

Lackawanna College receiver

Donald Jones is enjoying the

most productive of his three Nation-

al Football League seasons with the

Buffalo Bills.Jones caught his third touchdown

pass of the season last week, scoring

from 15 yards in a 35-34, home-field

loss to the Tennessee Titans. With

the Bills (3-4) off for their bye week,

Jones already has 20 catches, three

short of his total last season.

When Buffalo lost David Nelson to atorn anteriorcruciate ligament in his kneeearlierin theseason,Jonestook over at theslot position in three- and four-receiversets.

Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrickand Jonesare gradually becoming more comfortableworking together. That showed in thetouchdown pass against Buffalo.

I had to trust my guys; makesure wereon the same page and the timing was pre-cise, Fitzpatrick said of touchdown pas-ses toJones andSteveJohnson inthe thirdquarter. Releasing it before they weremaking their breaks.

Donald did a great job.
