By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES [email protected] NE SCRANTON – For the last

12 years, First Night Scranton WS has been backed by either a local economic development group or the city of Scranton itself. That changes as the non-al- coholic New Year’s Eve cele- bration with roots tied to Boston’s first celebration in 1976 and the local division tackles its first full event as a non-profit organization. “The city gave us a two year commitment,” FNS 2012 Co-Chair Paige Balitski ex- plained. “It was understood from the beginning that a new organization would un- dertake the task of getting non-profit status and build- ing its own committee and volunteers and, of course, funding.” That task, while monumen- AR tal to some, has brought a re-

vised passion and a plethora TS of new ideas to the group. Last year, the successful decision was made to choose an anchor venue, the Mall at Steamtown, to host a wide variety of events. “Because this is a winter event you must always think about how the weather will affect attendance. We were so successful with the mall be- ing the anchor for First Night JASON RIEDMILLER PHOTO / FOR GO LACKAWANNA Scranton last year it only First Night Scranton 2012 Co-Chairs Damian the Magician, left, and Paige Balitski gather as center court of the Mall at Steamtown. made sense to do it again,” The mall serves an an anchor venue for the second consecutive year.

INFINITE

WS IMPROBABILITY RICH HOWELLS NE Before Co- rey Taylor be- gan his excep- tional solo per- formance on Dec. 9 at the Starland Ball- room in New Jersey, he laid down three sim- ple ground rules with the audi- ence. The first two – no nudity and no dancing, at least on his part – were things he assured the audience they would not wish to see anyway. The third, however, is the rea- son I suspect many were there to see him in the first place. “I will not lie to you tonight, and that is my promise,” Taylor told the intimate crowd. People seem to either love or TS loathe the loudmouthed front- man of Slipknot and Stone Sour,

ecky Burke recently became the 22nd player in Louisville women’s Bbasketball history to pass the 1,000 point mark for her career. Burke (Abington Heights) passed that mark with 10 points in a 105-62 victory over Murray State. She has added to that total since then and now has 1,071. AR “It’s great,” coach Jeff Walz said after Burke passed the 1,000-point standard. TS “She has really worked hard over the years, and now her game is starting to evolve.” The majority of Burke’s points have come from outside the arc. She is currently fourth all-time in 3-point baskets with 190. She had five 3s on the way to a team-high 17 points in a 71-42 victory over Portland and four threes in a 14-point night during a 75-71come-from-behind victory over Washington State. The 5-foot-11guard is third on the team in scor- ing (12.5) with 44 rebounds, 19 assists and 12 steals. She’s hit 32 of 81 from 3-point range (.395), 54 of 123 overall from the floor (.439) and has hit 22 of 27 free throws (.815). “Becky has really become a standstill 3-point shooter and I’m really proud of how she has learned to take the ball to the basket,” Walz said.

“She is in great shape, and it is encouraging as a SPOR coach to know that you have someone to go out there and play hard all the time.” The Cardinals, ranked 14th in the country, are 11-2 on the season and face UT-Martin Tuesday in

Louisville. TS
