Couple restoring oldest home in Waverly

BY ADRIANE HEINE Abington Journal Correspondent

Glassblower Kyle Lavery enjoys the sense of satisfaction he gets from finishing a project. “It’s a pretty rewarding feeling every time you make something that comes out the way you had envisioned it,” he said.

Skillful creations F BY JOAN MEAD-MATSUI Abington Journal Correspondent

rom a project’s beginning to end, glassblowing for Kyle Lavery is relaxing. The 26-year-old became interested in blowing glass after he visited the Corning Museum of Glass, in New York, while he was attending Lakeland JuniorSenior High School. “I enjoy working with the material,” he said. “From start to finish you’re working with gravity and heat, along with your tools, to create something that started from a 2100 degree molten mass in the furnace. It’s a pretty rewarding feeling every time you make something that turns out the way you had envisioned it.” Lavery, interested in art as long as he can remember, attended Keystone College in La Plume. There, his course load ran the gamut from drawing and painting to sculpture,

but his focus was glass. “Glass is my medium because it takes a lot of skill to do it. It takes years to learn the basics. When you’re working with glass you have to keep it hot enough so it doesn’t crack, but you can’t get it too hot that it’s uncontrollable. It is very difficult when you’re first starting out,” he explained. Lavery’s glass, including ornaments, paperweights, pumpkins, sea shells, drinking glasses, bowls and vases with prices beginning at $15, will be available for purchase at the Waverly Community House Artisans’ Marketplace to be held Nov. 17 and 18. For those curious to know how a favorite glass vase received its elegant curves or narrow neck, Lavery explained the basics of glass blowing. See Creations, Page 9

C.S. supports S.T.O.P. BY ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER lbaumeister@theabingtonjournal.com

CLARKS SUMMIT- The Borough of Clarks Summit Council voted unanimously at its Nov. 7 meeting to contribute $200 to assist the newlyformed coalition S.T.O.P. (Scranton Taxing Our People) in opposing the City of Scranton’s commuter tax, a one per-

cent tax rate hike on nonresident workers’ earned incomes. Council members also discussed the possibility of imposing a similar tax on Scranton residents working in Clarks Summit, although they were doubtful such a tax would be possible. Borough Solicitor Pat Rogan said he would look into the matter.

In other business, Borough Manager Virginia Kehoe announced that a new budget is ready for preliminary review, and although she said it is extremely tight, it is complete without increasing taxes. During public comment, resident Theresa Barrett lodged See S.T.O.P., Page 4

he streets of Waverly’s historic district are lined with beautiful homes that were built to last. None has stood the test of time better than the landmark home which faces the Waverly Community House. The Greek Revival-style home was built between 1826 and 1828 by the young physician, Dr. Andrew Phelps Bedford. It was the fourth home built in Waverly, but the oldest still standing. Gerry and Val Calpin purchased the home in 2004 after it had stood vacant for six years. The couple, who share an appreciation for historic homes, have spent the past eight years painstakingly restoring it. “It’s an ongoing mission, we take one project at a time,” Val explained. “Our goal is to get back to the original whenever possible.” Some notable facts about the house: * It was home to the (thennamed) Old Abington Post Office. Dr. Bedford served as the second Postmaster from 1832 until 1853. It appears that, what is presently the garage was the location of the Post Office. There is evidenceof a stove for heat and it contains a spiral staircase into a vaulted attic. * There is a trap door under the kitchen floor which leads to a crawl space. Dr. Bedford’s close association with passionate abolitionists led to the belief this may have been used to hide runaway slaves. * The support beams, visible

It was eight or nine years ago when Paul Angeloni of Waverly stopped by the estate sale at the beautiful old home built by Dr. Andrew Phelps Bedford. That’s when he saw it: the doctor’s log books from 1829. The covers were long gone but the pages were intact and perfectly legible. Yellowed with time, page edges slightly frayed, the books were sewn together with thread that still holds. He bought it for $25. “I wanted the book to stay in Waverly,” Angeloni said. “It belongs here. I didn’t want it auctioned off to possibly end up in another state.” The title page features, “Abington, AD 1829- A. Bedford,” in beautiful script, and then the entries begin. Each of the 47 used pages of what appears to be three separate books, lists approximately 20 entries. Each entry states the date, name of individual, service performed and/or medication dispensed and fee applied. In almost every case, even obstetrics, the name logged is the male household member. A sampling of entries includes: * Jan. 9, Philip Stone,

The Holocaust Education Resource Center announced a full-day Professional Development Conference for Educators of grades 7-12 will be held Nov. 29 at Brennan Hall, University of Scranton. Clarks Summit resident Carol Rubel is a member of the Center’s Advisory Committee. The conference, which is being offered free of charge, will include two three-hour workshops, each offered twice in order to allow for smaller, more interactive groups of participants. One workshop will train teachers in the use of the multi-media curriculum available on teaching the Holocaust, “Echoes and Reflections,” which was developed by three leading Holocaust education institutions in the world.

Afterwards, each participant will each receive a free copy of the “Echoes and Reflections” curriculum and DVD, a resource that otherwise sells for $100. Extra copies will be available for full price. The second workshop addresses bullying, a serious and growing problem in schools nationwide. Though not parallel in any way to the Holocaust, bullying shares that which underlay the beginnings of what became the Holocaust: targeting “the other.” Online registration forms and additional information can be found at jewishnepa.org. Interested persons may also call Tova Weiss at 570.961.2300, extension 6 or Rae Magliocchi at extension 4.

t was at a baseball field in Imola, Italy after baseball practice that Manuela Ela Weidner asked then- professional baseball player, coach and former Dalton resident, Steve Weidner, if she could take his photograph. “I didn’t know him at the time,” said Manuela. “I was waiting with my daughter to take this photo… We were waiting and waiting and it was getting dark. Finally, when I was able to take the picture, Steve said, ‘I don’t know. It’s getting dark. Maybe we can do the picture another time.’ I didn’t want to wait. I had waited a long time.” Steve joked, “She’s Italian. She’s impatient.” “I wanted to take this photo,” she said. “That was an excuse,” joked 36-yearold Italian born Manuela. “I planned everything (the photo – so I could meet him).” She took the photo and it was the beginning of a six-year relationship that culminated at their wedding in Imola, Italy March 4, 2012, and relocation to the United States in late August. They are currently living with family at the Weidner homestead in Dalton. “She wanted to take a picture of me with her daughter and another Canadian coach,” said Steve. “She gave me her number. I called her, we went out for a date and that was it.” Manuela added, “I remember one of our first conversations before the photo. He was wondering if I was Italian.

Lights serve to remember, honor BY KASEY LYNN Abington Journal Correspondent

SOUTH ABINGTON TWP. - Griffin Pond Animal Shelter Human Society, 967 Griffin Pond Road, Clarks Summit, will host a Memorial Tree Lighting Nov. 18 at 4 p.m. The ceremonial tree lighting, which recognizes contributors and volunteers and honors departed pets and loved ones, serves as a fundraiser for the shelter. The tree will be located in the gazebo on the property. For more than 9 years at the Griffin Pond Shelter the ceremony has taken place. “It’s important because it honors pets and people, either that have passed or that are still with us,” said Warren Reed, Executive Director of Griffin Pond Animal Shelter. White lights are displayed for remembrance of a pet or person who has died. Colored lights are displayed in honor of pets and people alive today who brighten the lives of others. Light refreshments will be served, including coffee, hot chocolate and goodies. Books will also be on display at the ceremony, so that the names of those being honored or remembered can be seen. Most of the people who attend are volunteers or adoptive owners and people who have appreciation for animals. The event is open to the public.

A ceremonial tree lighting, which honors departed pets and loved ones, serves as a fundraiser for Griffin Pond Animal Shelter. To add names to the Memorial Book or the Honor book, the cost is $5. Books will be on display for the holiday season. “I have a lot of white lights on the tree for dogs that I remember. They were excellent dogs,” said Reed, “I had a dog for 17 ½ years, it was a, shih tzu that died about a year ago. It didn’t have a mean bone in its body. I have lights for him.” The Griffin Pond Animal shelter was established as the Humane Society of Lackawanna County in 1938 to provide shelter for homeless, unwanted and abused animals. It continues to do so today. Anyone who completes an application can adopt an animal from the shelter between the hours of 12 and 4:30 p.m., daily.

Ransom Township tenant case in flux BY ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER lbaumeister@theabingtonjournal.com

RANSOM TWP. - The Ransom Township Board of supervisors discussed at its Nov. 5 meeting and ongoing issue involving a tenant of Sunset Mobile Home Park, Julian Deuerlein and several fines issued him by the township. Deuerlein agreed Oct. 31 through his attorney at a hearing before Magisterial District Judge James A. Gibbons, to vacate his mobile home by 5 p.m. Nov. 5. In exchange for his departure, the township agreed to reduce the number of zoning violation citations—each carrying a penalty of $500 plus court costs—from 18 to one. As of the time of the Nov. 5 meeting, township officials were uncertain whether the agreement was carried out on Deuerelin’s part. “At about 4:30 p.m. I received a phone call from Julian’s lawyer,” Township Solicitor Edmund Scacchitti said, “and he told me that he and Mr. Hanus’ [the landlord’s] lawyer had agreed to extend the time by two weeks. I said to the lawyer, ‘Well, no one asked me,’ and I don’t think anyone talked to Chief Gerrity.” He said after the phone call, he attempted to reach Gerrity, as well as Gibbons, because the agreement provided that unless someone called by that Wednesday morning, the settlement would go into place. “I intend to let Judge Gibbons know first thing Wednesday morning that we’re going to have to go back to square one unless something is figured out here,” he said. “As I said, the township did not agree to extend the time for Julian to get out of there.” He said it is his understanding that Deuerlein was staying in a hotel, but had

shot by the adjacent property owner with a shotgun, causing a “minor facial injury.” Krieg said he was still hiding in the woods, as the shooter was still in the area. “Upon PSP (Pa. State Police) members’ arrival, Krieg was located in the woods near where he was shot and was bleeding from a pellet wound on his face,” according to the report. “Krieg related before he was shot (that) the adjacent property owner started to bang pots and make noise. Krieg related that the neighbor’s son, Joseph James Taft, then came out of the house with a shotgun. Krieg related that Taft walked to the tree line and pointed the shotgun in his direction and fired one shot. Taft was later identified by Krieg as the shooter. Taft was taken into custody and subsequently confessed to firing the shot at Krieg.” At the time of the report, Taft was waiting for arraignment by the on duty magistrate.

According to Pa. State Police, Joseph James Taft, 22, of Clarks Summit, confessed to firing a shot at Henry Krieg, 41, of Scranton. Taft said he was mad at Krieg because he was hunting “their Deer.”

not yet moved his mobile home and belongings off the property. Resident Ed Johnston complained Deuerlein ran over a flowerbed with his truck on the way out that day. Also briefly discussed at the meeting was a public hearing notice regarding an application filed by Falling Springs Water Works, Inc. last winter requesting approval from the Susquehanna River Basin Commission for surface water withdrawal of up to 800,000 gallons of water per day. Supervisor Dennis Macheska noted the hearing is scheduled for Nov. 15 at 2:30 in Harrisburg, and interested parties may attend in person or write letters, which may be sent to an address available by contacting the township office. During the public comment section of the meeting, resident Bill Auriemma questioned whether or not individuals are permitted to hunt on township-owned property. Discussion followed regarding whether or not the property should be posted for liability reasons, but no conclusion was reached and no direct answer given. Actions taken included: Unanimous votes in favor of two Berkheimer tax resolutions, a vote in approval of the chief administrative officers for the noon-police pension plan, a resolution appointing Secretary-Treasurer Sara Griggs as the township’s contact person with PEMA, a Jones Land Swap resolution unanimously approved, a unanimous vote to accept Attorney Donna DeVita as solicitor for the Planning Commission for the next six months and as needed at a rate of $25 an hour and a $1,000 increase to her annual retainer and a vote approving an extension request for the Merkel subdivision.

Marching Lions (and a wolf) break school’s record BY ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER

lbaumeister@theabingtonjournal.com

he Lackawanna Trail Marching Lions placed ninth overall out of 29 bands in the Atlantic Coast Championships Tournament of Bands in Hershey Park Stadium Nov. 4. According to Marching Band Director Katie Lane, this is the highest ranking in the school’s marching band history so far. The color guard placed first, earning a score of 18.8 with its performance of “Be Afraid,” a rendition of the classic story of “Little Red Riding Hood.” Katie Seigle, of Nicholson, a junior, who played the character of Little Red, said the performance added a “dark twist” to the age-old tale. It included a “battle” between her character and The Wolf, with the remaining five members of the color guard performing as the villagers. Seigle gave high praise to her teammates, three of whom she said are in their first year with the color guard and did a great job, even exceeding expectations. Color Guard Instructor Kelly Hopkins said the newcomers did very well blending in, so it was difficult to tell it was their first year. She said she is “so proud” of the whole group, who “did a fantastic job at bringing the characters alive.” She spoke of the group’s

to a tradition of excellence. Older members have learned from the alumni before them to be dedicated and work hard and they pass that down to the younger generations.” Meredith Horwatt, of Dallas, a senior, who plays the alto saxophone, said the marching band is a combined effort of each individual and the group as a whole. She explained because each member did his or her own part well, the band also did well, and this year ended up being “the best year ever.” She attributed this success to the hard work and practice they all completed over the summer, beginning with the music and then focusing on the drill. Both Seigle and Horwatt said one of the best parts of being in the Marching Lions is the friendships they form inside the group with other students they would have unlikely met otherwise. “It’s really a good group of kids,” Horwatt said. And according to Lane, “once a Marching Lion, always a Marching Lion.” “Our alumni come back and help and continue to support the program long after they’ve graduated,” she said. “It has never mattered how small we were in comparison to other bands—we have always had more heart.”

A ‘brainless’ election

A bunch of “brainless” candidates were running for election at Our Lady of Peace School. Seventeen, to be exact. Each one, stuffed with newspaper, took a stand at a scarecrow contest behind the elementary school in Clarks Green Nov. 9. In the weeks before the U.S. Presidential election, each classroom tossed around themes for their scarecrows and voted on their favorite. Then, under the direction of art teacher Peggy Yanul, the students began collecting clothes, shoes and accessories with their theme in mind. Nov. 9 it was time to put the clever concepts on wooden stands donated by Mariotti Lumber Products. With a clock ticking, students

raced to get their scarecrows together. All kinds of scarecrows began to take their stands, such as a scientist gone mad, a French chef, Santa Claus, panda bear, big baby, scuba diver, a crayon and a crazed magician. The scarecrow celebration was the brainchild of PTG President Kim Kelly. But Yanul really pushed their creativity buttons. The celebrity judges, WNEP’s Tom Williams and Mindi Ramsey, Monsignor John Louis and State Representative Marty Flynn cast their votes and the top winners were: a candy monster (3rd place), a witch (2nd place) and an elf (1st place).

Kyle Lavery, a Keystone graduate and Glass Artist, and Facilities Coordinator at The Studio of the Corning Museum of Glass, offered college students and onlookers an opportunity to watch a glassblowing demonstration.

CREATIONS

Continued from Page 1 “The glass blowing starts with a hollow stainless steel tube called a blow pipe. On one end is where the glass is gathered and on the other end is where you blow the air into the pipe to inflate the glass to the size that is desired.” He added that the shaping of the glass is done by the gaffer, a person in charge of the glass being made. “Once the gaffer decides that the work is finished on the blow pipe, it is time to flip the glass around 180 degrees so you can finish the other side of the vessel. This is done by attaching the bottom of the vessel to another stainless steel rod called a puntie. A small amount of glass is gathered on the end of the rod and will act as temporary glue, so the gaffer will be able to work on the other side of the vessel. Once the piece is attached to the puntie and broken free from the blowpipe, the gaffer will finish shaping the vessel until the piece is finished. Once the piece is finished with just a few taps on the steel rod, the vessel will be broken free from the puntie and put in an annealer (oven) to slowly cool down for about 12 hours.” Simple? Not remotely. However, Laver said this process is used for just about all glassblowing. Regionally, his glass is available at the Corning Museum of

throughout the basement, are original and still covered in bark. They most likely came from the site of the home, for it was forest before it was cleared for the purpose of building the house. * The home was built with post and beam construction. Instead of using nails, notches were cut in logs and logs were laid into the notches. Dr. Bedford was born in1800. His parents were early settlers in the Wyoming Valley and survivors of the massacre there during the Revolutionary War. He attended Yale University and answered the call to set up a practice in Waverly. The only doctor in town had died unexpectedly and the growing population created a great demand for his services. He purchased10 acres of woodlands on both sides of Abington Road (then called Main Street) from John Miller and had the property cleared and a home built. Here was a man dedicated to progress in many ways. Some areas he ventured into outside of medicine included: * Opening a general store in 1849 with his close friend, Leonard Batchelor. * Opening a drug store in 1853, which would become his son, Sterling’s, business. * Opening the Waverly Manufacturing Company in1867, a foundry which made agricultural tools. The foundry existed in

the alley between Clinton Street and Church Street, in a barn owned by the doctor. The store was located on Main Street, facing his house. * Opening a hotel with friends based on temperance (abstinence from alcohol) which stood on the corner of the Comm Square where there now sits a bench. It was called The Waverly House. * Traveling to Harrisburg many times to advocate for the railroad to come through Waverly. He proposed that rail travel would overtake the stage coach eventually and wanted his town to benefit from it. The steepness of Waverly’s hills, however, led the train to go through Dalton and Glenburn. * Joining with other prominent residents to purchase12 acres and then donate it to the railroad for the Glenburn train station site. * Being one of Waverly’s first elected officers in1880.

Dr. Bedford medical practice treated patients over a 200 square mile area of heavily wooded terrain. However, he could only be summoned by patients in need via messengers on horseback. He traveled through all kinds of weather on horseback, loaded up with saddlebags full of medicines and tools, as wagons could not reach most of the scattered settlements. Not much about his descend-

ents was recorded, but a trip to the Hickory Grove Cemetery provides many clues. Bedford shares a headstone with two women, one Hannah, designated as his wife, who died at the age of 39, the same year in which a child, Andrew Jr., was born. Other children of his first marriage include William, Theodore and Sterling. The second woman noted on the same headstone is Mary Porter Bedford. She was16 years younger than the doctor. A son, John, born in1854, presumably to Mary, only lived to the age of two. Also laid to rest in Hickory Grove are the doctor’s aged parents, who must have followed their successful son to Waverly. Born in1762 and 1773, Jacob and Deborah lived to 87 and 96, respectively. The doctor lived to age 89, surrounded by family, friends and colleagues in the beautiful house in the town that he helped to build.

Delivery of a baby $3.50 Dr. Bedford often delivered more than one baby in a day and several in a week. He had a flexible payment plan, noting partial payments, payments by goods and services and work done for one patient and paid for by another. “There is talk of the Little School House becoming some kind of a museum or library,” Angeloni said. “Maybe the book could be displayed

Abington artists to ring in holiday cheer BY KELLY MCDONOUGH Abington Journal Correspondent

or Bill Tersteeg of Dalton, the holidays mean warm wishes and a chance to display his talent at the AFA Gallery in Scranton’s Holiday Auction. “The holiday auction is a marvelous opportunity to view work by significant artists in the Scranton area and buy it at a very reasonable price,” said Tersteeg, an AFA board member and part of the annual holiday auction for the past 15 years. The event is a bit different for Oliver Pettinato of Chinchilla. His furniture works being displayed are relatively new to the AFA Gallery. However, he is excited by the possibilities and does not know quite what to expect. He hopes people make investments right before the holidays. A nice memory of AFA Gallery holiday auctions past mean a display by Marylou Chibirka of Dalton one year. It was a portrait of people at an auction. This year, she is set on selling a work entitled, “Five Tulips by the Window.” According to Carla Williams, board member and public relations specialist for the AFA Gallery, this year has something new to tout: A silent auction of 12 pieces on the first floor with a starting bid of $100, allowing new collectors to start building their collections. Even better news is that the live auction of 60 pieces will be held on the newly added and renovated second floor. “We’re so excited to have a much larger space allowing guests more room. We always have great attendance

and hope additional people join in the fun this year,” said Williams. Williams detailed how the AFA Gallery’s mission is to foster an appreciation of the visual arts and provide support to regional artists. She said an AFA Family Cookbook will be available for sale at this year’s auction. The raffle piece is a framed 20-inch by 12- inch linocut watercolor entitled, “Atlas Today” by Mark Ciocca. Ciocca said, “My current body of work is a reflection of personal, social and political observations through the media of relief prints and watercolor. The series is on a smaller scale in comparison with my previous works in order to accommodate news that seems to occur at an ever increasing speed.” Those interested in attending this year’s AFA Gallery Artist for the Arts Holiday Art Auction “Building Art Collections for Over 20 Years,” should expect to find original high quality work by regional artists auctioned at a party in time for holiday gift giving. A variety of media from oil, watercolor, sculpture and photography to pottery, furniture- making and stained glass will be featured. The event takes place Nov. 17 at 6 p.m. at the AFA Gallery, 514 Lackawanna Avenue, Scranton. Tickets are $25. Price includes hors d’ oeuvres, desserts, champagne and open bar and live music by Friends of Doug Smith. Ken Rivenburg will serve as auctioneer. To RSVP call 570.969.1040. Tickets available at the door. Mark Ciocca’s work ‘Atlas Today,’ a framed 20inch by 12inch linocut watercolor serves as this year’s featured raffle piece.

Indraloka Animal Sanctuary’s more than 170 residents include horses, cows, mules, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese, dogs, cats and one peacock.

Be Life event to benefit animal SAFE HAVEN BY KASEY LYNN Abington Journal Correspondent

Be Life Café, 639 Northern Boulevard, Clarks Summit, will host a benefit for the Indraloka Animal Sanctuary, Mehoopany Nov. 24. Indraloka Animal Sanctuary, one of only a few all-species animal shelters in the United States, is a 501(c) nonprofit organization. The Sanctuary’s more than 170 residents include horses, cows, mules, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese, dogs, cats and one peacock. The animals have been able to find a home at Indraloka since 2005. Before then, founder, Indra Lahiri had her sanctuary in Bucks County, where she was raised. Her sanctuary required more space, so she moved to northeastern Pa. “People are kind to the animals here and it’s a beautiful environment,” she said. “Indraloka never euthanizes (except to relieve suffering when death is inevitable),” said Lynn Braz, Community Outreach Coordinator for Indraloka Animal Sanctuary. “Indraloka does not adopt out animals, except kittens on occasion. As a sanctuary—rather than a shelter—the animals who find their way to Indraloka have survived some of the worst cases of animal torture imaginable. Indraloka nurses them back to health and gives them permanent refuge and care for the remainder of their lives.” Indraloka in Mehoopany, is less than one hour’s drive from Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. The pastoral beauty of the Sanctuary draws school groups from around the area for programs created to serve high school ecology clubs, children with special needs and teenagers learning about good stewardship. She said they are much more than a sanctuary for

animals. “We provide emotional sanctuary for humans, too. Our volunteers schlep from Scranton, Philadelphia, WilkesBarre, Clarks Summit, Abington, New Jersey and New York, just to be with the animals in the peaceful environment Indraloka provides. The benefit will include a dinner at 6:30 p.m. serving a prix fixe menu. Seating for the dinner is limited and requires reservations. At 8:30 p.m., the general public is invited to stop by Be Life Café and enjoy live entertainment by local musicians Jason Carlyle and Steve Kurilla, while learning about Indraloka and its important work on behalf of animals and the environment. Barry Kaplan, owner of Everything Natural, Clarks Summit, will be on hand to present Indraloka with a donation check. There will also be a 50/50 raffle drawing for more than $2,500. The public can buy tickets at the event or online at www.indraloka.org/5000raffle-to-rescue/. You do not have to be present to win. All proceeds from the evening will be donated to Indraloka Animal Sanctuary. “We here at Be Life are hosting the event for Indraloka Animal Sanctuary because we believe in supporting the life of these beautiful and loving animals, life that many other people would disregard or overlook,” said Rebekah Carlyle, owner of Be Life Café. “Indraloka’s work is groundbreaking and the fact that this sanctuary exists right here in NEPA, in our own backyards, is a testament to how wonderful our community is here,” said Braz. For reservations, call 570.926.8045. For information contact Alaina Dietz at 570.687.7432 or Rosewood70@hotmail.com, or Lynn Braz at 415.279.0777 or lynn@lynnbraz.com.

Shel Silverstein, erstwhile cartoonist for adults, never planned on writing for children, until, in 1964, “The Giving Tree” was published, followed by a collection of poetry for children, “Where the Sidewalk Ends.” Those books and his subsequent work have delighted tens of millions of readers around the world, making him one of the most popular and best-loved children’s authors of all time, renowned also for his work as poet, playwright, illustrator, screenwriter and songwriter. Children who attend the Abington Community Library’s Saturday Story Hour Nov.17 from 1 to 2 p.m. will have a chance to listen to some of Silverstein’s stories and poems, read aloud by students from Marywood University’s Education Department who have volunteered to present a series of Story Hours at the library. Recommended age is three to seven and pre-registration is requested. There will be activities and a special bookmark craft as well. Stop in or call the library (587.3440) to register. November has been designated as “National PTA Family Healthy Lifestyles Month.” The Children’s Room at the library is featuring a display of books from the collection in cooperation with the South Abington PTA and Lackawanna County Medical Society Alliance’s “I Can Be Healthy” program. Children can be motivated to care about eating well, to learn about “MyPlate,” and the value of eating grains, fruits, vegetables, proteins, and healthy snacks, plus the benefits of keeping fit with exercise and activity from this collection of “kid friendly,” colorful titles.

Caught in the middle, Laura and her friend, Dr. Stacy Jones of the CDC in Atlanta encounter a deadly plot by white supremacists in Atlanta that is linked to the disaster in Tampa. “Porch Lights,” by Dorothea Benton Frank. Captivated by Sullivan’s Island’s natural charms and inspired by colorful South Carolina Low Country lore, widowed Jackie McMullen, her ten-yearold son, Charlie, and Annie Britt, Jackie’s mother and the family matriarch, share a memorable and illuminating summer. The story is told in Annie’s and Jackie’s alternating voices. “The Map of Lost Memories,” by Kim Fay. The search for an elusive treasure becomes a journey into the darkest recesses of the mind and heart for archaeologist Irene Blum, the recipient of a rare map believed to lead to a set of copper scrolls that chronicle the lost history of Cambodia’s ancient civilization.

Scouting Scene With Tyler VanGorder

Camporee takes scouts to Boston October was a very fun month. The beginning of a great scouting year started with an excellent trip: the Boston Historic Traveling Camporee. This trip was unique because it was organized by the Dan Beard council. This council includes numerous troops within northeastern Pennsylvania. They all were invited and approximately 200 scouts attended. There has been a traveling Camporee every two years since 1990. Some previous trips included Williamsburg, Washington and Niagara Falls. The Boston trip occurred from Oct. 6 to 8. We left early Saturday morning on four buses. Before we got to Boston we stopped at Old Sturbridge Village. We ate our lunch and toured the site. Sturbridge Village was an actual village and still exists today. We were

able to walk around the village to learn about rural New England life from 1790-1840. The town was very large and educational. Other than the buildings, there were costumed historians, farm animals and live demonstrations. Touring the area made history come to life. After a couple more hours of driving, we stopped for an early dinner at an Old Country Buffet. Once we arrived in Boston, we were amazed by the city. That night, we visited the Harvard Museum of Natural History. The museum had several exhibits and we were able to roam freely. Exhibits included minerals, dinosaurs, bugs, marine life and much more. One of my favorite rooms was the glass flower exhibit. The room contained hundreds of flowers made entirely of glass. The flowers were so detailed it was almost impossible to dis-

tinguish them from their real counterparts. They were made by Leopold and Rudolph Blaschka over a hundred years ago. We soon left the museum and headed to our campsite. We stayed at Camp Resolute, where we arrived very late at night. This made it challenging to pitch our tents, but this also made it fun. Sunday morning we had breakfast at the camp. Afterward we had a religious service. This was a big day and we toured several of Boston’s historic attractions. The hike that we took is called the Freedom Trail. Famous sites included Boston Common, the

Boston Massacre site, Paul Revere’s house, Old North Church, the USS Constitution, Bunker Hill and many more. The hike went all around town and was very educational. Boston is a very interesting city and was responsible for a lot of change within early American history. That night after our hike we had an exclusive guided tour of Fenway Park. We had a knowledgeable guide who told us a lot of information about Red Sox history. We got to see places that the typical person would love to see. We saw their Hall of Fame, party boxes and sat inside the press box.

‘Matt Flynn Community Tribute’ set for Nov. 17 In May 2011, the Scranton Cultural Center at the Masonic Temple lost not only its Executive Director, but also its greatest supporter: Matt Flynn. Now, to honor him and carry on his commitment, the Scranton Cultural Center will host the Matt Flynn Community Tribute Nov. 17 at 7 p.m. Flynn led an extensive effort to restore the SCC to its prominent place in the community as a center for the arts, education and culture. The Scranton Cultural Center established the Matt Flynn Facilities Fund in his honor and all proceeds of this event will benefit this fund. The night will feature local

And please join us tonight, Wednesday, Nov. 14 at 7 p.m. for a free history presentation with Dr. Sheldon Spear. His lecture will focus on a variety of historically significant events that transpired in northeastern Pennsylvania. Dr. Spear will discuss topics including frontier warfare before and during the American Revolution, anthracite-based industrialization and the growth of the labor movement. He will also show us how these and other developments fit into American history as a whole. Again, admission is free. As you can see, the Dietrich is so much more than the movies. Monday morning we awoke, packed all of our gear into the buses and ate breakfast. Once we were finished, we left for Concord, Mass. There we hiked the Minute Man trail. It is named because of the famous battles at Lexington and Concord that helped start the Revolutionary War. We hiked around the town and viewed several placed where fighting occurred. A long and entertaining weekend had sadly come to an end. Once the hike was finished, we traveled home. We stopped for dinner at a Home Town Buffet. Overall, the Boston trip was a lot of fun Scouts received an exclusive guided tour of Fenway Park during a Boston Historic Traveling Camporee.

Afterward, I got a chance to gather some of the scouts’ opinions of the Boston trip. Michael Robinson said, “I enjoyed seeing Paul Revere’s house and devouring the delicious food that Boston had to offer.” Wyatt Sebring said, “My favorite part was Fenway Park.” Nathan Gronsky added, “Hiking the Freedom Trail was a lot of fun.” Joey Fulton said, “I had a lot of fun getting lost, and the rest was pretty cool, too.” The month ended with a Halloween party. On Oct. 25, Troop 160 hosted a party. Scouts dressed up in creative costumes and their families were invited to attend. Each patrol had its own game and candy was given out for prizes. The evening ended with a costume contest that rewarded people for their hard work. When we left, we had pockets full of candy. October was a great month and everyone enjoyed it. Remember, a scout is cheerful. Tyler VanGorder has the rank of Eagle in Boy Scout Troop 160 from Clarks Summit. He is a senior student at Abington Heights High School.

Abington Heights’ defensive back Dante Pasqualichio returned two interceptions for touchdowns in the Comets’ 13-6 win over Valley View in a District 2 Class AAA semifinal on Saturday, Oct. 10. They will play at Berwick for the district title Nov. 17.

Comets advance

BY TOM ROBINSON Abington Journal Correspondent

CLARKS SUMMIT- Dante Pasqualichio acted on a pre-snap hunch midway through the first quarter. Pasqualichio reacted as a pass pattern developed early in the second quarter. Both plays resulted in Pasqualichio stepping in front of Valley View passes that he returned 29 yards for the only Abington Heights touchdowns Saturday afternoon, Nov. 10, in a 13-6 District 2 Class AAA football semifinal victory at Comets Stadium. Pasqualichio, who doubles as the Abington Heights quarterback, found a new way to produce points on a day when defenses dominated. The only Valley View touchdown came one play after an interception set up the Cougars at the Comets 12. “We always have the approach that we can also score points on defense,” Comets coach Joe Repshis said. Repshis and Pasqualichio credited assistant coach Brian Fahey with helping position the defense to make what ultimately proved to be the game-winning play. Pasqualichio’s work at quarterback also helped him recognize an audible similar to one he calls. “I sort of read the quarterback,” Pasqualichio said. “He made a change in his call. I read stop.” When Liam Callejas took the snap and threw a quick pass out to the left sideline, Pasqualichio was there wait-

ast fall, a group of 10 girlfriends got together for a simple run in the Waverly countryside. They ran to honor their strong bond, their health and the memory of one of their mothers, Denise Wright. Wright represented to them what it truly means to be a wife, a mother and a friend. Throughout her long battle with cancer, she was flanked by her girlfriends. They went to appointments with her. They sat with her in bed, drank wine and laughed. They kept her going like any good girlfriend should. Then when they had to, they served as her pallbearers. Their devotion made a lasting impression on the group. This year they decided to grow their ranks at the 2nd Annual Friends Keep Us Going 5K Run/Walk, Oct. 27 in Waverly. The event was held in Wright’s memory and was open to all who wished to honor the true spirit of friendship. There were 10 women on the race committee, friends for more than 20 years. Some had been known each other since their days at Our Lady of Peace School and the others met at Scranton Prep. “I read a quote recently that said, ‘Friendship isn’t a big thing. It is a million little things,’ ” Leah Kane, one of the race organizers said. “We truly did ‘a million little things’ over the past six months and the result was an incredible tribute to Denise’s memory and the true spirit of friendship.

She called them, ‘The Force.’ It has been fun getting to know them and seeing ourselves in each other.” Preliminary figures indicate that the race raised between $25,000 and $30,000 for the Foundation for Cancer Care. “We are all incredibly humbled by and thrilled with this result,” Kane said. “Especially considering that when we started planning back in May, we were asking ourselves, ‘Do you think we can get 50 people there?’ ” “As President of the Foundation for Cancer Care, I am absolutely blown away by the efforts of the ‘Friends’,” Margo Opsasnick said. “This is an amazing group of women.

This phenomenal effort will allow us to serve many women in many different ways. It is quite fitting that Denise’s memory will continue to support cancer patients through the efforts of friends. “I would like to see all or some of these funds earmarked for a specific program bearing Denise’s name. There are a number of areas where these funds can be used; for instance, to promote breast cancer screenings, to allow women with no insurance to have genetic testing and counseling or therapeutic assistance such as psychological counseling, nutritional counseling or complimentary services such as massage therapy.” Denise’s husband, Joseph Wright, commented on the bond between his wife and her friends. “As you can see, Denise had such a strong bond with a group of friends who had given her tremendous strength and comfort during her seven- year struggle with breast cancer. When talking with several of the participants at the race who are facing similar challenges, it became apparent to me that the role of friendship in challenging times is something just about all of us can strive to give and hope to receive at different times of our lives. This event tried to recognize the qualities of friendship.” The race committee offered special thanks to: · The Waverly Community House and Waverly Township, Waverly Township Police, Dalton Fire Company and Community Life Support for providing a “beautiful and safe setting” for the race. · Matt Rosetti, Matt Byrne and the team at Scranton Running Co. for sourcing race shirts and bestowing gift cards to race winners. · Ashlee Thomas, Assistant Director of My Gym Scranton, for leading activities for children . · Joe Nardone and SoundParty for “the great tunes to get our feet moving.”

spread the ball around,” Lackawanna Trail head coach Steve Jervis said. “At times tonight, we got into a little bit of a rhythm, but I wish we could have found that rhythm later in the game when we really needed it.” Dunmore got on the board when quarterback Brandon Kujawski connected with Seamon for a 21-yard touchdown with 1:07 left in the first half. Mike Boland missed the extra point. Lackawanna Trail forced two Dunmore turnovers in the first half, but was unable to turn the miscues into points. The Lions gained just two and three yards on their possessions following the takeaways. “The real difference was that we forced two turnovers in the first half, but weren’t able to convert,” Jervis said. “We played our butts off on defense in the first half, but I give credit to them. The came back in the second half and wore us down a little bit.” Dunmore gained control of the momentum on its first possession of the second half and did not relinquish it for the rest of the game. The Bucks drove 68 yards on 17 plays to take a 12-6 lead on a Seamon 3-yard rushing touchdown. Josh Zilla added the extra point to give Dunmore a 13-6 advantage with 11:52 remaining in the second quarter. “I’m proud of the kids,” Henzes said. “They came back when we needed to come back.” After a Lackawanna Trail three-and-out, Dunmore struck again when Buckley scored on a 13-yard run in which he dragged several Lions’ defenders into the end zone. The junior rushed for 139 yards on 14 carries. “I thought I was going to be stopped, but it was all the hard work from the off-season,” Buckley said. “I just kept going.” After Lions’ quarterback Zack Goodrich was intercepted, Seamon dashed 56 yards to stretch the Bucks’ lead to 26-6 with 8:53 left in the third quarter. The senior gained 144 yards on 20 carries. Dunmore scored on its fourth consecutive possession when Buckley rushed 61 yards for a score to give the Bucks’ a 32-6 lead with 6:29 remaining in the third quarter. Greenley, who rushed for 70 yards on 14 carries, scored his second touchdown of the game on a 1-yard run to cut the Bucks’ lead to 32-12. Jonathon Zedar’s pass fell incomplete on the two-point conversion attempt.

“It wasn’t pretty, but it was effective for us.” The Lady Comets nearly made it to the half in a tie. Lower Dauphin took a corner kick from the left side, which resulted in a scramble among multiple players from each team before Naomi Giovino knocked it in for the Falcons in the final minute. After Christman tied the game, Melanie Coles made four saves over the next 14plus minutes to maintain the tie. She finished with 17 saves. “That’s the best I’ve seen her play in the years I’ve been with her,” said Hunter, the thirdyear coach. Coles was unable to hold on to Samantha Hockley’s header from close range off a Taryn Messick corner kick with 16:32 left. The Lady Comets seemed ready to clear a corner with 9:20 left, but Messick kept it in play and nailed a left-footed shot from 25 yards out on the right wing into the far corner. Haley Vozzella closed the scoring with 10 seconds left.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2012

On her second stop of the tour, Susan Corbett met with students working on a project for the TV studio. Kayleigh Glennon, 5th grade and Olivia Hancock, 5th grade, interviewed the First Lady on her views of bullying.

First Lady Susan Corbett speaks to students in grades 5 through 8 about public speaking, arts and academics as part of her ‘Opening Doors’ initiative Nov. 8.

Pa. First Lady at A.H.M.S.

Pennsylvania First Lady Susan Corbett visited Abington Heights Middle School in Clarks Summit Nov. 8 as part of her “Opening Doors” initiative. She observed the after-school activities program which has helped make Abington Heights a “School to Watch” by the National Forum to Accelerate MiddleGrades Reform. Corbett spoke with middle school students, teachers and administrators during a schoolwide assembly. She also observed clubs and activities including, TV studio, Science Olympiad, jewelry making, mural club, open gym, Math

Counts, glee club and rock band. The visit officially launched Corbett’s Opening Doors initiative in the northeast region of the state. Opening Doors aims to identify middle school students in Pennsylvania who are likely to drop out of high school and then provide them with guidance and support to stay in school. “Abington Heights Middle School has successfully developed an after-school program that keeps students engaged while providing opportunities to explore new interests,” Corbett said. “I applaud school administrators and faculty for their commitment to ensuring

promising futures for Pennsylvania’s youth.” The Abington Heights Middle School after-school activities program offers 41 different activities and clubs with more than 400 students participating. “Our after-school program strongly contributes to students feeling valued, supported, empowered and inspired,” Michael Elia, principal of Abington Heights Middle School said. “Due to these feelings, students report a willingness to try new things, an increase in self-efficacy and worth, and a better overall satisfaction during their middle school years.”

ABINGTON JOURNAL/ALEXANDRA BATSON

During her tour of the school, Susan Corbett had the opportunity to interact with students. First she stopped in the Science Olympiad room to speak with Courtney Toroni, 7th grade, right, Tom Hildebrand, 8th grade, center and Steve Lott, chaperone, left, about scientific activities they’ve been working on so far this year.

The Chiefs responded with a minute remaining in the first half on a 10yard run by Roche to give Lakeland a 21-10 advantage heading into the half. Lakeland received the kickoff at the start of the first half and put together a 77-yard, six-minute touchdown drive to give the Chiefs a 28-10 lead. A minute later, GAR responded on a 38-yard touchdown pass from Moore that bounced off the hands of a Lakeland defender and fell into the arms of Sickler for his second touchdown of the game.
