CLARKS SUMMIT - At its meeting Sept. 12, the Borough of Clarks Summit Council voted in favor of conditional approval, contingent on DEP approval, of a sewer passthrough agreement for a planned townhouse development on Winola Road in South Abington Twp. Discussions regarding the pass-through request were ongoing since June 13, when Attorney Greg Pascale attended a Council meeting representing the developer, Tech 78. At that time, he was told no new connections would be made with South Abington until the Borough’s issues with the township regarding pass-throughs and direct connects were resolved. He then returned to the July 11 council meeting requesting “fairness to [his] client,” who he said was still trapped in the middle of the dispute between the two municipalities. The issue, however, was tabled. At the Aug. 1 meeting, after dis-

Fighting fire with technology BY GERARD E. NOLAN Abington Journal Correspondent

SOUTH ABINGTON TWP. - Among a firefighter’s core principles is the maxim “know your buildings,” according to Keith Grierson, outgoing Chinchilla Hose Company chief. With this imperative in mind, firefighters routinely study buildings and properties in the community to prepare for potential catastrophes. In a firefighter’s vocabulary, this type of disaster preparation is called “pre-planning” because it is, in essence, planning how to plan for a number of possible disaster scenarios if and when they arise. “Pre-planning allows for discussion around apparatus response and manpower levels, exposure protection, rescue needs based on customer, employee or patient numbers, hose line selection, hazmat considerations and mutual aid, See Technology, Page 9

Given the sensitivity of the building layout data, hose company officials enacted measures to safeguard it: The laptop computer features a fingerprint scanner, and all collected data is stored only on the laptop and backed up on a secured hard drive at the station.

SOUTH ABINGTON TWP. – A former baseball coach and substitute teacher in the district will serve as athletic director at Abington Heights High School. Randy Hanyon was hired Sept. 5 as the new director. He had previously served for 12 years as a school teacher in the Pocono Mountain and Philadelphia School districts. The Clarks Summit resident also served as a substitute teacher at Abington Heights and several other local schools including Pittston Area, Valley View and Old Forge. A volunteer baseball coach at Abington Heights in the past, he also coached baseball at Pittston Area. Hanyon listed several reasons as to why he was attracted to the job. “It’s always been a beautiful area,” he said of the greater Abington area. “It’s a very well- run district administratively with great parents, boosters and kids.” Hanyon lives in Clarks Summit with his wife, Stephanie, who is a dentist at Pediatric Dental Specialists, LLC and their two children, Alexander and Anthony. Hanyon said he already feels at home in the district.” “Principal (Pamela) Murray has offered great support,” he said. “She is well aware that I am coming from the classroom and it will be a transition.” According to Murray, Hanyon posSee A.D., Page 5

Lakeland tries to find funding

Student donates book to school

BY SUSAN REBENSKY Abington Journal Correspondent

SCOTT TWP.- A special meeting was prompted by the Lakeland School Board to figure out where the district will come up with additional funding that will be needed to help finance a $6.4 million dollar renovation project. The project has come in above the amount expected by the board. The current high school renovation project, will cost an additional$3.5 million for the roof and mechanical projects that were approved by the board in June, which will now bring the entire project to a figure of $9.9 million. According to Supt. Margaret Billings Jones Ed.D. the district can just not support the entire project. The district has looked at only doing necessary renovations to the high school building, and that will be further discussed at upcoming meetings. Right now the high school renovations need to be approved so that it can be submitted to the Department of Education to be considered for reimbursement. In other business: the board approved a resolution to support the Career Technology Center of Lackawana County in its current legal battle with the Riverside School District and further agreed to increase contributions to the CTC renovation project if Riverside withdrawals. However the resolution did pass with board members Casey Patuk and Mr Stracham voting against the participation feeling that the district could use the funding instead.

History: ‘The Band-Aid House’ According to current co-owner Sam Kamenitzer, the land of Fern Hall was originally deeded to Samuel Meredith, the first treasurer of the United States, a transaction completed by Benjamin Franklin. Today, she and her husband Ed Kamenitzer jokingly refer to Franklin as their ‘real estate broker.’ • The property was purchased in 1823 by Sylvester Johnson, of Connecticut. He and his wife Louisa Wood Johnson then raised their family at that location. Three of their sons, Robert Wood Johnson, James Wood Johnson and Edward Mead Johnson, founded Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Co. At the turn of the century while he was president of the company, James built Fern Hall as his “Country Cottage.” Young neighbors often referred to it as “The Band-Aid House.” • Built from local Pennsylvania stacked field stone, the inn offers 24 rooms with nine bathrooms and nine showers. At the time of construction, showers were a European commodity, rare in America. Most of the original bathroom fixtures are in place today. • The Kamenitzers discovered Fern Hall while visiting their daughter at camp about 13 years ago. They are now the first owners outside the Johnson family in almost 190 years. “We feel like the shepherds of a piece of history and architectural treasure,” Kamenitzer said.

Business run by C.S. native ranked among INC.’s ‘fastest growing private companies’ Inc. magazine recently ranked Gilligan & Ferneman, LLC No. 427 on its 31st annual Inc. 500|5000, aranking of the nation’s fastest -growing private companies. The list represents a look at America’s independent entrepreneurs. Companies such as Microsoft, Zappos, Intuit, Jamba Juice, Zipcar, Clif Bar, Vizio, Oracle, and others gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 500|5000. “One of the keys to our growth has been our ability to change and adjust our technology as the needs arose. When our company was featured on the Dr. Oz show, we had to quickly ramp up to meet the expected response without acquiring additional expense. We were able to do this due to our use of Internet technologies,” said William Gilligan, Company Chief Technology Officer, and a 1979 graduate of Abington Heights High School. Recently relocated to a new office and warehouse in Kissimmee, Fla., Gilligan & Ferneman, LLC, builds, maintains and markets a series of online shopping destinations. The company focuses on locating and delivering comfort-related items such as wicking sleepwear, temperature regulating bedding, bamboo apparel and items designed to “help purchasers sleep better, wake more re-

freshed and remain comfortable throughout the day,” according to the business website. “I think the hardest part was keeping up with all the orders coming in. Managing the people to handle the shipping and customer service questions involved with 873 percent growth has been an interesting experience to say the least,” said Michael Ferneman, Company COO. To make the cut for the 2012 Inc. 500, unveiled in the September issue of the magazine, companies had to have achieved a minimum of 770 percent in sales growth. The companies on this year’s Inc. 500 employ more than 48,000 people and generated more than 40,000 jobs in the past three years. Complete results of the Inc. 500|5000, at www.inc.com/500.

A look ‘inn’side Fern Hall blends history, diversity

BY ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER lbaumeister@theabingtonjournal.com

ne of Chef Donna Vannan’s first memories of cooking took place in her grandparents’ kitchen when she was five years old watching her Uncle Matnor from Malaysia make curry. “I had never smelled or tasted anything so exotic in my life,” she said. “To this day, curry is one of my absolute favorite foods to explore and cook.” Vannan, 45, of Clarks Summit, grew up on a farm in Australia, where she learned to cook from her mother and grandmother at an early age. Since then, she said she’s been lucky to know “amazing people, both chefs and non-kitchen professionals,” from whom she observed and learned. She now works as the full-time chef at Fern Hall Inn, in Clifford, which is owned by Ed and Sam Kamenitzer. “The ‘New American’ menu created fresh each day by Chef Donna Vannan,” Sam Kamenitzer said, “is beyond great expectations...She is as close to ‘Farm to Table’ as it gets...using herbs, veggies and fruits from our gardens and orchard, and local produce, meats and fish fresh daily to put her own Australian signature on all our dishes.” Vannan said she loves working at Fern Hall Inn and finds it an inspiring location to cook. “The place has so much history, beauty and a feeling of home,” she said. “I feel like it was built with the intention of being a place of gathering and entertainment. I feel like there must have been many, many amazing meals served there, and I love the thought of putting my footprint in the history of that.” Fern Hall is home to not only the restaurant and bed and breakfast, but also the Scottish Glen Golf Course and a boat house on the shores of Crystal Lake. Vannan said some of the things she likes most about the inn are its

Over the summer, the inn hosted Australian Outback BBQs on the patio. “In fall and winter,” Vannan said, “we will be offering fantastic Sunday feasts in our dining room in front of the fire with entertainment.” She said there will also be theme nights during the week.

Chef Donna Vannan, 45, of Clarks Summit, originally from Tasmania, Australia, brings family recipes as well ideas influenced from all over the world to the table at Fern Hall Inn. One example is the Australian burger “with the lot” (choice of beef, turkey or veggie burger served on a bun with pineapple, fried egg, pickled beet, lettuce, cheese, tomato and onion, all held together by a large steak knife). Vannan cooks with ingredients from the garden she maintains at Fern Hall, which includes old huckleberry bushes, tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, radishes, herbs. “Our food is creative and different and really is homemade,” she said. “I scour the farmers’ markets and local purveyors ...and really try to bring people the best dining experience I possibly can.”

among many others,” Grierson said. “Each building provides a unique situation to responding firefighters.” The information Chinchilla firefighters gathered during pre-planning had been stored on paper. Recently, however, the Chinchilla Hose Company, which serves the most populous municipality in the Abingtons, brought pre-planning into the 21st century with the purchase of a state-of-theart computer system that digitized the process. “Paper’s great to use as a resource, but it’s a little cumbersome,” Grierson said. “We’re the only department in the county to have a computerized pre-plan system. It’s pretty exciting.” As part of the upgrade, the company purchased a heavyduty laptop computer—much like those used by the military—which will be used in the department’s response to disasters. Loaded onto the laptop is high-tech software, which will assist first responders at a scene. The system is also equipped with a printer so that information can be distributed to other agencies as well as individual firefighters at the scene. For the past year, the company has been collecting data,

Citing his dedication to the department, including overseeing fire prevention programs and updating the township’s disaster preparedness infrastructure, the supervisors presented Grierson with a plaque commemorating his tenure. Grierson spearheaded the adoption of a computerized disaster preparedness system, which aims to improve the department’s response to fires, car accidents and other catastrophes. He also worked to update emergency lock boxes located on township buildings so authorities could open them remotely. Grierson, who will remain a member of the company, is set to move to Montgomery Twp. in the near future for a job as manager of a soon-to-be-completed Wegmans market there. A new chief will be elected by the hose company’s members from among current members of the department. In other business, township supervisors approved allocating funds for township pensions for 2013, including $266,000 for police officers and $50,000 for non-uniformed personnel.

cussion, Councilman David Jenkins suggested tabling the issue again until necessary approval of the plans by the DEP. Pascale came to Council Sept. 12 again requesting approval on behalf of Tech 78, and Councilman David Jenkins and Councilman Herman Johnson made recommendations for the approval. Councilman Patrick Williams expressed strong disagreement with those recommendations, saying he believes it to be a “very foolish” decision. “We all agreed that we weren’t going to do anything until we got things worked out with South Abington,” he said. “Mr. Pascale is very persistent every month, and we give a little bit this month, and then we gave a little bit last month, and now we’re saying, ‘OK, great, no problem, go right ahead,’ and we’ve got nothing from South Abington. Does everyone forget that?” Other council members stressed they had not forgotten, but believe the dispute with South Abington and the request from Tech 78 are two separate issues. Council voted 5-1 in favor of the conditional approval, with Williams opposed. Councilman Roy Davis was not present at the time of the vote. Other items on the agenda and under public comment included: • Sewer billing: Council voted 6-0 in favor of an automated sewer billing system. It was pointed out there are more than 100 residents delinquent on payments, and with this new system, their water will eventually be shut off if they do not pay. Johnson stressed the need to educate residents on the changes before they go into effect. • Sheridan Ave Property: Council discussed what to do with a property on Sheridan Avenue that they believe is a

Borough-owned asset, but has been maintained by a neighboring property owner as his or her own for many years. They tabled the matter for further discussion at next month’s meeting. • Traffic on Grandview Street: Resident Marie Van Wie addressed Council regarding a sharp curve near her home on Grandview Street, where she said a stop sign is needed. She pointed out a school bus stop is right around the curve, invisible to motorists until they are upon it. She also said she can not see the road as she backs out of her driveway. “It’s just not safe,” she said, adding that she and her neighbors hope a stop sign will be installed. • Abington Area Community Classroom: Dori Waters and Mary Ann Nichols requested Council permission for use of the lower level of the Borough Building for a “Mystery Maze” event fundraiser Oct. 20. Council voted in favor 6-0. • Other votes: Council voted 7-0 to approve the following: Ordinance 2012-09, in regard to recycling; Ordinance 2012-10, regarding sewer use and Resolution 2012-20 MMO. • Other items discussed: The August Recycling award, awarded to Sole to Soul owner Dorothy O’Connor; The Abington Community Library call on Council for continued funding; The Arts Council of the Abingtons successful Art and Wine Festival this year and a desire to host it on Depot Street next year; a damaged sign that needs replacing in regard to Clarks Summit’s sister city, Ystradgynlais, Wales; bids and quotes; upcoming countywide events; Junior Council, for which applications are being received; the cell phone use policy, which was tabled; correspondence from Mayor Chelik of Mayfield; and the treasurer, building and plant, finance, grant, recycling, public safety, public works, EMA, police and sewer reports.

Boy meets witch. Witch casts spell. Mayhem ensues. By Kasey Lynn Abington Journal Correspondent

ctors Circle opens its 31st season with the magical romantic comedy “Bell, Book and Candle.” The romantic comedy by John Van Druten is directed by David Hunisch of Clarks Summit. According to director Hunisch, the play introduces the character Gillian Holroyd who lives in Greenwich Village, N.Y. in the early 1950s. Gillian, a witch, falls in love with publisher Shepard Henderson who lives a floor above her. The problem: He is engaged to Gillian’s college rival. Gillian puts a spell on the publisher so that he falls in love with her. Comical complications ensue because of the spell and in the end Gillian learns that love is the most powerful spell of all. Publicist Cathy R. Strauch, of Factoryville, and director Hunisch agree that the cast of this show is very good. “[David] has a fabulous cast under his direction,” said Strauch. “Each person is very appropriate for their role. They each bring something special to the stage and they all try to get into the heads of the characters they are playing,” said Hunisch. William Zeranski, who plays Shepard Henderson, Gillian’s love interest, is very enthusiastic about the romantic comedy. The Keystone College employee said he never expected himself to be in a role like this one. “I’m enjoying this though because Brink [Powell] is doing such a good job.” Brink Powell, a Factoryville resident, is the lead, playing Gillian. Providence Playhouse, where the show will be performed, has been under a lot of renovation. “We’ve been good, now we are better,” said

Strauch. Scott Seman is given credit for the renovating and Lana Kristoff with some help from Jeff Ginsberg take credit for the decorating. Strauch is also excited for this performance to take place; she and Hunisch go back a few years. “[He’s] 100 percent professional in all ways, as an actor and director,” said Strauch. This is Hunisch’s second debut as a director with the Actor’s Circle, however, he has been with the group since 2003 and has done a lot of acting as well as professional stage work throughout the years. The cast members and staff are: Powell as Gillian Holroyd, Zeranski as Shep Henderson, Norine Maier as Gillian’s Aunt, Casey Thomas as Nicky Holroyd and George Cosmetis as Sidney Redlitch. Other members of the cast and crew include: Strauch, Producer and Publicist; Seman, Master Set Builder; Bob Spalletta, Lighting Designer; Lana Kristoff, Stage Manager and Set Decorator/Painter, assisted by Jeff Ginsberg, who is also House Manager, along with Jane Foy; Edward Kristoff, Set Detailer and Linda C. Griffiths, Light/Sound Board Operator. Bell, Book, and Candle will run Sept. 20 to 23 and Sept. 28 to 30. Shows on Thursday-Saturday are at 8 p.m. and shows Sunday begin at 2 p.m. Performances will take place at Providence Playhouse, 1256 Providence Road, Scranton. Tickets are $12 General, $10 Senior, $8 Students. A preview will be hosted Sept. 20; tickets are $8 General & Seniors; $6 students. For reservations, call 342.9707 or visit: www.actorscircle.org.

We could not have asked for a better day for our bus trip to New York City last week. The weather was absolutely gorgeous. When we got to the city we had free time to explore and find a great spot for lunch at one of the city’s fine eateries. Then it was time for “Porgy and Bess.” I can see why this play won the Tony for Best Musical Revival. The music was outstanding and the play was just so powerful. I am still thinking about it. At least two members in our group of 30 participants had seen the play when they were children so it was nice to hear their thoughts on the show we just saw. After the play, we enjoyed a family-style dinner at Carmine’s, which is always so delicious. Speaking of delicious, the food at the Dietrich’s Opening Night Gala Sept. 21 will be absolutely spectacular. Twigs Restaurant and Café, Epicurean Delight, Seasons Restaurant and the Fireplace Restaurant always out do themselves with just the best cuisine. And Hildy and Jeffrey have secured amazing films for opening night too. I can’t wait to see “The Intouchables” and “Moonrise Kingdom.” Tickets to the Gala are $35 each and include food, films, beer, wine and desserts. Call us at 570.996.1500 to make your reservations. The Opening Night Gala will begin 14 days of 16 of the finest foreign, independent and art films that were released in the past few months. Sounds good! Right? After the film festival, Tunkhannock’s Airing of the Quilts will be upon us. If you have not been to Tunkhannock on Airing of the Quilts, I highly recommend it. With the changing leaves and the town draped with beautiful quilts, Tunkhannock is absolutely gorgeous. In celebration of our region’s rich history of quilting, the Dietrich will display quilts by Tunkhannock resident Kent Ward from Oct. 2 through Nov. 15. At this exhibit you will be able to view his unique and colorful collection of scrap quilts. These quilts were machine pieced using computer generated paper foundations. Kent prefers traditional patterns and relies on mistakes either real or planned to avoid machinelike “perfection.” He quilts by hand and often marks the quilt tops using plates and cups as templates. I can tell you first hand that his use of color is just masterful. On the day of Airing of the Quilts, Oct. 6 at 11 a.m., the Dietrich will host a presentation with Joyce Hughes called “My Journey Into Quilting.” Joyce Hughes, a self-taught fiber artist and quilt designer See Dietrich, Page 11

BY MARY ANN MCGRATH

Teenage fans of Science Fiction will be excited by the half dozen new additions to the Young Adult Collection at the Abington Community Library. Set in a future time, the following titles each have their fair share of intrigue, adventure, treachery, romance and the paranormal to provide “good reads” for library patrons in their teens. “Wither,” by Lauren DeStefano. After modern science turns every human into a genetic time bomb with men dying at age twenty-five and women dying at age twenty, girls are kidnapped and married off in order to repopulate the world. “Ashes,” by Ilsa Bick. Alex, a resourceful seventeen-year-old running from her incurable brain tumor, Tom, who has left the war in Afghanistan, and Ellie, an angry eight-year-old, join forces after an electromagnetic pulse sweeps through the sky and kills most of the world’s population, turning some of those who remain into zombies and giving the others superhuman senses. “Legend,” by Marie Lu. In a dark future, when North America has split into two warring nations, fifteen-year-olds Day, a famous criminal, and prodigy June, the brilliant soldier hired to capture him, discover that they have a common enemy. “Hourglass,” Seventeen-yearold Emerson uses her power to manipulate time to help Michael, a consultant hired by her brother, to prevent a murder that happened six months ago while simultaneously navigating their undeniable attraction to one another. “Across the Universe,” by Beth Revis. Amy is a cryogenically frozen passenger aboard the spaceship “Godspeed.” She has left her boyfriend, friends, and planet behind to join her parents three hundred years in the future as a member of Project Ark Ship. “Tempest,” by Julie Cross. Piecing together clues about his father, the Enemies of Time, and himself, 19-year-old Jackson, who views his ability to travel back through time as harmless fun, must decide how far he’s willing to go to save his girlfriend, Holly, and possibly the entire world. Soon he discovers that nothing in his life is what it appears to be, including his own father. The Abington Community Library is located at 1200 W. Grove St., Clarks Summit.

U of S golfer earns honor For the second straight week, a member of The University of Scranton men’s golf team has picked up a weekly honor from the Empire 8 Conference. This time, sophomore Erik Meyer, of Clarks Summit, grabbed the spotlight. The Abington Heights Meyer High School grad was named the conference’s male golfer of the week after shooting a career-low round and five-under-par 67 at the Scranton Municipal Golf Course in Mt. Cobb, in leading the Royals to a 294-334 victory over Baptist Bible College Sept. 5. His previous career-low round was a 72 against King’s College and Wilkes University at Huntsville Golf Club in Lehman, April 10. Meyer’s teammate, junior Charles Hudacek, of Moosic, was honored by the Empire 8 Conference the previous week after shooting an even-par 72 to share medalist honors at the Utica College Fall Invitational. He is a graduate of Scranton Preparatory School.

Lions roar to 3-0 JOHN GORDON For The Abington Journal

WILKES-BARRE – The game plan was simple. Lackawanna Trail coach Steve Jervis wanted his team to control the line of scrimmage and play fast up front against E.L. Meyers High School. The Lions did just that after overcoming a series of early penalties and a 7-0 deficit to beat the Mohawks 35-13 at Wilkes-Barre Memorial Stadium. Trail outgained Meyers 428 to 251in total yards behind a steady balance of passing and a brutal smash-mouth run game. “We did a great job executing the offense against a good Meyers team tonight,” Jervis said. “We do need to focus on Lackawanna Trail defensive tackle Justin Barber makes a tackle. a few things, like penalties

and stop shooting ourselves in the feet.” The feet of the Lion running backs were in full motion combining for 241yards on the ground. Senior running back Jeremy Greenley led all rushers with142 yards on12 carries and a pair of touchdowns. “We try to make it hard for teams to key on any one player,” said Jervis. “We have a group of fast and talented backs and receivers.” The receivers were on display moments after Parrish Bennett’s11-yard scoring run had Meyers staked to a 7-0 lead.

HANOVER TWP. — Lakeland Jr. /Sr. High School scored on five of its first six possessions and, after an early defensive hiccup, clamped down on Hanover Area for a 34-15 win Friday night, Sept. 14, at Memorial Football Stadium in a non-conference contest. Early on, the Chiefs looked to quarterback Kyle Kiehart to move the ball through the air. Kiehart The senior signal-caller responded by going 5-for-6 for 153 yards in the first half. His first of two touchdown passes to tight end Gavin O’Donnell came on a play-action pass from Hanover Area’s 9-yard line for a 13-0 lead just six seconds into the second quarter. “For most of the game, I thought we passed the ball pretty well,” Lakeland coach Jeff Wasilchak said. “Hanover’s looked a little banged up to me after their first two games, but give them credit for playing hard tonight and sticking with it.” Hanover Area’s effort looked considerably further along than it has the past two weeks, though Lakeland (2-1) still presented matchup problems throughout. While Hanover Area (0-3) contained things early on defense, Lakeland’s offensive line simply had too much size, opening up holes for scoring runs from Cody Gonsauls in the first quarter, Tyler Brady in the second and Tim Hackenberg in the third. “Coming out, early, I thought we had two third downs we could have stopped them on,” Hanover Area coach Ron Hummer said. “And they responded with big plays that kept the drive alive and they went on to score. “We’ve just got to try and get better defensively every week.” The lone bright spot for the Hawkeyes came from the running of Brian Belcher, who led all rushers with 142 hardfought yards and two touchdowns.

Return kick-starts Comets attack BY ROBERT TOMKAVAGE

CLARKS SUMMITNathan Hollander is making a habit of creating big plays on special teams. The Abington Heights junior returned the opening kickoff of the high school football game 87 yards for a touchdown, after registering a 93-yard kickoff return touchdown Sept. 8 against Dallas. Hollander’s touchdown was just the start of the Comets onslaught. Abington Heights quarterback Dante Pasqualichio threw for more than 100 yards and two scores, and three different players scored rushing touchdowns in the Comets 42-7 over Williamsport win at The Pit Sept.15.

“I muffed the kick, but going through the middle anyone can run through that hole,” Hollander said. “It’s a real good job by the team.” Abington Heights’ tailback Quinn Karam, who rushed for 83 yards on 10 carries, scored on a 3-yard run with 4:41 left in the first quarter to stretch the Comets lead to 14-0. After a Williamsport Millionaires fumble in Abington Heights territory, Pasqualichio connected with J.C. Show for a 32-yard touchdown to make the score 21-7 in favor of the Comets. “The linemen gave me a lot of time,” Pasqualichio said. “I was able to read the defense real easily and the receivers ran crisp routes. I just had to put the ball

“He’s a big threat out there,” Pasqualichio said of Williams. “And, he has real good hands.” Show closed the first half with a 1-yard touchdown run to give the Comets a 42-0 lead heading in the locker room. The second half didn’t start any better for the Millionaires as Comets defensive lineman recovered a fumble two plays into the third quarter. Williamsport was able to end the shutout when backup quarterback Christian Diggs connected with tight end Tyler Gardner for a 12yard touchdown with 4:49 left in the game.

Trailled 13-7 after a missed extra point. The second quarter featured Trail continuing its dominance on the ground. Greenley rumbled for 98 of his yards and recorded both of his scores, including a 51-yarder that put the Lions up19-7. His11-yard touchdown and another1-yard sneak by Goodrich had the Lions cruising at halftime by a 32-7 margin. Meyers had a shining moment in the third quarter when Bennett scrambled for 32 yards, but the offense could not muster up much after that on the ground. Bennett finished with100 yards on 20 carries. The Mohawks relied on a 49-yard strike to Matt DeMarco from Teaguen Labatch to cut the lead to 32-13. Trail closed the scoring with a Pete Murazzi 34-yard field goal.

Each look at the 2013 ES reveals a new reason to be captivated. Gaze past the bold, sharp lines and discover the generous headroom and legroom of the interior.

ACOG resumes

The Abington Journal♦Clarks Summit, PA

“No kid is ever seeking anything when he joins a gang. It’s never happened, not once. It is always the case, always, that they are fleeing from something.” Nationally renowned gang-member interventionist Rev. Gregory Boyle, S.J.

BY EMILY CULLEY Abington Journal Correspondent

CLARKS GREEN- The Abington Council of Governments resumed monthly meetings Sept. 6, after a two-month summer break. This meeting focused on municipal reports from the participating communities. Bill Wicks representing Glenburn Twp.mentioned that at the last Glenburn council meeting they expressed distress concerning the possibility of a commuter tax in Scranton. “We have an interest in assembling with our neighboring municipalities… we should be represented,” Wicks said.” Others at the meeting agreed that a commuter tax might not be beneficial to their communities. Patty Lawler, representing Clarks Summit Borough, spoke of the changes in recycling in Clarks Summit, where they have switched to single stream, rather than having residents separate the different types of recyclables. She mentioned that Clarks Summit has a new recycling system for commercial properties. There are two dumpsters available to them, with two free parking meter uses to the business that recycles the most. She says both recycling changes have been, “positively received.” Also mentioned was as tire collection day Sept. 28 in Clarks Summit at the Department of Public Works building from 4 to 8 p.m. There is a $2 fee for each 15- inch or 18- inch tire, without the rims and dry.

Supervisors choose sewer plan BY BRITTNEY PIERCE Abington Journal Correspondent

WAVERLY TWP. - A decision was reached at the Sept. 10 Waverly township meeting regarding the sewer treatment upgrade. Township engineer Ned Slocum presented the Supervisors with options and estimated costs. They decided on a normal hydraulic treatment that will reliably keep them within the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) guidelines to convert ammonia nitrate to a non-toxic level. A motion was made to direct Milnes Engineering to start the design process.

Rev. Gregory Boyle, S.J., founder of Homeboy Industries, spoke at The University of Scranton about reasons children join gangs. Boyle said people need to find a sense of pride and that a job is the remedy. Homeboy Industries employs thousands of former gang members in its facilities that include a bakery, farmers’ markets, restaurants and manufacturing plants. It is home to the world’s largest tattoo rePHOTO COURTESY UNIVERSITY OF SCRANTON moval facility

‘Invest’ rather than incarcerate Gang-member interventionist shares insight on his ‘Homies’ at university discussion. BY TIM TYMON Abington Journal Correspondent

Nationally renowned gang-member interventionist Rev. Gregory Boyle, S.J. emphasized the importance of understanding and compassion when combating gang violence at a University of Scranton roundtable discussion Sept. 17. Boyle, founder of Homeboy Industries, and other event coordinators, hoped to inspire local officials and invigorate Operation Gang Up, an initiative started last year to quell gang activity in northeastern Pennsylvania. Boyle and two former gang members with him spoke to a group of community and faculty leaders that included members of law enforcement, educational authorities, university departments heads, mission students and members of the local justice department. Homeboy Industries is a nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles whose mission is the intervention and rehabilitation of gang members with the goal of replacing them successfully into society. Boyle formed Homeboy Industries in 1988 and has been working in the field since.

“I’m an expert on nothing,” said Boyle, “but for 25 years I’ve worked with gangs in the gang capital of the world.” Homeboy Industries is located in Los Angeles neighborhoods known for youth violence. Boyle said he has buried 133 young people as a result of gang violence during his time in service to the community. Edward Rodriguez and Marcus Avery, former Los Angeles gang members who also spoke at the event, said their fathers had been killed in gang-related shootings and as a result of gang affiliation they spent 10 years and six years incarcerated, respectively. Boyle then spoke about the importance of understanding the reasons children join gangs in order to fight it effectively. “No kid is ever seeking anything when he joins a gang,” Boyle said, “It’s never happened, not once. It is always the case, always, that they are fleeing from something.” Although this sentiment is contrary to the belief popularly held by law enforcement officials and the public that children are lured into gang life by drugs, money or sense of community, Boyle said his is the correct outlook. And along with that unconventional outlook comes an unconventional

approach. “All we could do was surround him with love and the promise of rebuilding,” said Boyle, in reference to one particularly troubled “Homie,” his term of affection for all ex-gang members affiliated with Homeboy Industries. “What if we were to invest in people rather than endlessly try to incarcerate our way out of this,” he added. This concept of love first and worry later seems to be working. According to a university study mentioned by Boyle, Homeboy Industries experiences a 70 percent retention rate, which is the inverse of the 30 percent found at other, similar programs around the country. Though it does not exist here to the same extent as it does in Los Angeles, criminal gang activity has been on the rise in northeastern Pa. State senator John Yudichak spoke at the conclusion of the event about Operation Gang Up, a regional initiative created by Yudichak and U.S. Congressman Lou Barletta. “It’s about educating and being educated,” said Yudichak. He added that he felt the region’s high unemployment rate may be a cause of local gang activity. He said one-third of youth in the region are living in poverty and not earning high school diplomas.
