Commuter tax in flux following hearing

BY GERARD NOLAN Abington Journal Correspondent

SCRANTON - After a panel of three judges at the Lackawanna County Courthouse in Scranton heard hours of testimony over three days regarding the enactment of a commuter tax on Scranton’s nonresident workers’ earned incomes, the city and opponents of the tax await the court’s ruling.

Scranton plans to assess a1 percent tax on the earned income of each nonresident worker to balance its budget in 2013 if the court approves the levy. The city currently takes1percent of nonresident workers’ pay and remits the money to their home municipalities.

The burden of proof rested on the city at the hearings Dec.11, 12 and14, which had to establish that a commuter tax was necessary to its financial well being and in compliance with all laws governing distressed municipality recoveries.

Much of the arguments hinged on Act 47’s Serafini amendment, which mandates a three-part test that the city must pass before it can gain approval for a commuter tax.

“You have to prove to the satisfaction of the court that you’ve substantially implemented the provisions of the recovery plan, including those filing for increases in taxes on city residents and increases in municipal fees,” Judge Terrence Nealon said of the Serafini test.

The city was seeking approval to levy the tax for one year in accordance with the provisions under this Act, which grants distressed municipalities special taxing powers. Even if the tax is See Tax, Page 4

old greasy corndogs.

Three-day-old pizza slices.

Stomach aches that last from lunch period through the bus ride home.

School lunches are beginning to lose negative connotations such as these, thanks to recent legislation and efforts of school food service personnel to provide a healthier menu to students.

The Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act was passed by U.S. Congress in 2010 and updated for the 2012-2013 school year. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) website, the act “allows USDA, for the first time in over 30 years, opportunity to make real reforms to the school lunch and breakfast programs by improving the critical nutriSee Healthy, Page 9

TIPS FOR HEALTHY EATING

It is important for students to eat healthy both at school and at home, according to Joanne Pesota, Abington Heights School District food service director and registered dietician.

“This is when we establish the eating patterns of a lifetime,” she explained.

Pesota offers parents three tips to help children develop healthy eating patterns: • Provide whole grains at home and in bagged lunches. If a child prefers white bread, try a white variety of whole grain bread available at the grocery store.

• Use fruits as desserts.

• Offer vegetables and fruits as snacks. Children will eat what is most readily available to them, whether that’s a bag of chips or a bag of apple slices. Cutting up broccoli and celery sticks and leaving them in the fridge makes these healthy foods more available as a snack.

DALTON - Mayor Jim Gray resigned his position as mayor of Dalton at the Dalton Borough Council meeting Dec. 13.

He announced that his elected position must come to an end.

“There are a number of reasons why I should not resign, but I will only say I’m not willing to go in the direction that this Council has been going over the past year; therefore, I effectively immediately resign respectively as mayor of Dalton,” said Gray.

Gray stood up and left during the meeting. He said, “It’s been a long meeting. It’s been a long three years, but I’ll be honest with you. Things aren’t working the right way.”

Board member Bill Montgomery said, “I’m sorry you feel that way, Mayor.”

Montgomery said the board accepted Mayor Gray’s resignation with regret. He entertained a motion to accept Gray’s resignation. Board member Lorraine Daniels made the motion.

Board member Mark Sujkowski seconded it.

“I think that we all feel the same that it’s too bad because he (Gray) has been a pretty good cheerleader for the town of Dalton,” said Montgomery.

“We have about 30 days to find a new mayor.”

In other business, board member Susan Davidson said that according to air quality test reports, the basement has “acceptable” levels of mold.

“In my book, what part of mold is “acceptable”?” asked Davidson.

Montgomery said, “We understand that. At some points, you have to accept the expert’s opinion.”

Davidson said that she wants to move out of the building for the health of the employees.

Board member Aaron Holzman replied, “I’m opposed to moving out of the building. I see no other alternative at this point.”

Sujkowski reflected on Holzman’s comments that all four air quality tests came back passing.

General store returns to its roots

BY ADRIANE HEINE Abington Journal Correspondent

WAVERLY- The Waverly General Store is aptly named.

Despite the building having been home to a variety of businesses over its 182 years, it was built as just that, a general store.

A cornerstone of Waverly’s historic district, the building stands the test of time on the corner of Abington Road and Clinton Street.

Photographs, maps and historical documents attest to the different functions the building served over the years.

“When I was really small, the building was owned by the late Joe Carpenter,” resident Abby Ridall recalled. Ridall was born in 1936, just a few doors up from the store.

“Joe hired a friend by the name of Floyd Richards to run a grocery store there. Then it went on to become Stanton’s

General Store, a little candy store. We’d buy penny candy from Bruce and Annie Stanton. They sold ice cream and a few groceries like bread, eggs and milk. I can remember going up to Stanton’s for vanilla Dixie Cups. We’d lift the lid and lick off the ice cream and there would be a picture of a movie star under there.”

Editor: Today, many people wouldn’t wear a full-length real fur because of the cruelty involved.

But real fur is sneaking into the United States where millions of animals, including dogs and cats are killed by the cheapest and most gruesome killing methods available so Americans can wear and enjoy fur collars, cuffs, gloves, mittens, ear muffs, pet toys, statues, etc. These methods include electrocutions, mass painful gassings, drowning, neck-breakings, toxic chemical injections and animals are often skinned while still alive.

Many are unwittingly wearing this fur believing it to be fake, when sometimes it is real.

Manufactures from other countries know Americans have a love affair with dogs and cats,

therefore they mislabel them, as faux fur, or rabbit fur, fox.

The Humane Society of the United States is investigating numerous cases where real fur is being sold as fake fur, as many of these items are mislabeled as fake, when in reality they are real fur.

How can we be sure if we are purchasing a fake fur and not a real fur? The Humane Society of the United States has printed information to help shoppers.

Go to HSUS.org and search: “Field Guide to Telling Animal Fur From Fake Fur.” For more information on what you can do to help these animals go to hsus.org or peta.org and type “Fur” in the search bar.

S. Ab. supports ARWA

A treasured secret Williams family pie recipe was passed down to the children of Roy and Anna Williams, including Richard Williams, who later opened Williams Pies in Clarks Summit with his wife, Laurel, shown.

BY GERARD NOLAN Abington Journal Correspondent

SOUTH ABINGTON TWP. - South Abington Twp. supervisors agreed to help back an Abington Regional Wastewater Authority (ARWA) bond to fund an extensive upgrade and expansion project at the authority’s facilities in the spring.

The township would guarantee a portion of the bond proportionate with its 55 percent share in the authority, which also is also composed of Clarks Summit and Clarks Green boroughs. The authority is working on deals to bring others municipalities, like Glenburn Twp., on board.

The guarantee would only come into play if the authority defaulted on repayment of the bond, a rather remote possibility, according to the Michael Donahue, the authority’s attorney.

The authority has received two bids for the bond, which is expected to provide the authority with $23 million for one of the largest projects in the authority’s 45 year history. Officials expect to hammer out the details by next month.

Donahue noted that an alternative to a bond would be a promissory note from a bank. That route, however, could prove more costly because the interest rate would be variable, while a bond’s interest rate would be fixed for the life of the bond. Interest rates are at an all-time low, he added.

The bond would be part of a funding package that includes a $9.7 million lowinterest loan from the state and a $1 million grant in Pennsylvania stimulus money. The project is estimated to cost a total of $34 to $35 million.

“We stand on the goal line,” Donahue said. “We hope to begin construction in April.”

The authority must revamp and expand its facilities to comply with new EPA mandates for sewage plants that discharge treated water into rivers and streams that ultimately terminate into the Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the U.S. Another issue is the sewage collection infrastructure, which is old and crumbling.

Groundwater and storm water often seep into the collection system, overloading the plant and causing untreated sewage to be discharged into Leggetts Creek.

This overflow is called an influent bypass. When it occurs, the plant is subject to fines from the EPA and PA Department of Environmental Protection. The proposed project would increase the plant’s capacity to avoid influent bypasses.

Giles Stanton, the board of supervisors chairman, saw the decision to guarantee the bond as a prudent one.

“We pay for it anyway, one way or another,” he said.

The project is expected to cost $34 to $35 million. The authority has already secured a $9.7 million lowinterest loan from the state.

In other news, the supervisors voted to keep the current tax millage at the current 14 mills in 2013.

Lower rates, including 1 mill for parks and recreation and 1 and 1 quarter mills are allotted for fire protection.

South Abington Twp. plans to pass its 2013 budget at a special meeting Dec.27.

One of the benefits of creating miniature gardens with children is it helps teach them about plants and garden design.

GIFT of a garden Sweet story

BY JOAN MEAD-MATSUI Abington Journal Correspondent

One project for children that can double as a gift for family and friends this holiday season is creating a miniature garden together.

“People’s imaginations run wild and that allows them to do anything they want. They can have a beach or winter scene.

Gardening is all about fantasy – creating a little Eden thing,” said Paul Epsom, Greystone Gardens owner Over the last year there has been an explosion in popularity of using container gardens as decorating items, according to Epsom.

“Whether it’s with plants or hardscapes, people have fun with them (miniature gardens) and they can change them seasonally,” he said.

Yes, even as winter arrives, you can still garden.

A kitchen table covered with plastic is a good place to work, and to get started, you will need a container; soil; stones gathered outside; plants if desired and other accoutrements including miniature arbors, bridges, fencing, a birdhouse and gnomes. Depending on choices, a miniature garden can cost as little as $20.

“It’s just a fun thing for kids to do,” he said. When choosing a container, said Epsom, “You don’t want something that’s going to break down with water, but anything made out of wood – an old crate or seed tray will work, or a small wheelbarrow, pots… it doesn’t have to be expensive.”

To incorporate plants into

Business, tradition date back to 1946

R

ichard and Laurel Williams opened Williams Pies and Country Store Bakery, 2613 Milwaukee Rd, Clarks Summit, about one year ago, but the business and tradition on which it’s based traces back 66 years to 1946, when Roy and Anna Williams opened the Blue Bake Shop on North Main Avenue, West Scranton.

According to a history of the business provided by the current shop, “Everything was made from scratch from the finest ingredients—the cakes, the cookies, the crème puffs and éclairs, the ‘Royanna’ donuts and, of course, the pies.”

“Unlike other area bake shops,” the history continued, “the crust was made not from lard and powdered milk, but from whole milk, flour, butter and eggs. The filling came from real fruit and the custards and crèmes were home-made from an old family recipe.”

In 1951, the business moved to West Market Street, and later to the corner of Blakely and Grove streets in Dunmore.

It closed in 1988 when Roy and Anna Williams retired to spend time with their family, which totaled 11 children and more than100 grandchildren.

The treasured secret family

pie recipe was passed down to the children, including Richard Williams, who later opened Williams Pies with his wife.

The business offers more than 50 varieties of pies, such as breakfast pie, pumpkin cheese pie, parfait pie, pudding pie, banana nut, peach crumb, butter pecan, coconut cream, lemon meringue and more.

“We’re all about pies,” Richard Williams said.

In addition, the shop offers hard rolls, assorted bread trays, special “Old World” Milwaukee- style pizza, stromboli and soup and serves breakfasts and lunches made from scratch.

The business features traditional homemade holiday treats, such as baklava, kalache, cinnamon raisin bread and more.

Williams pies sells wholesale to local supermarkets and restaurants, including: Riccardo’s Market, Dunmore; Quinn’s Market, Peckville; Don’s Market, Clarks Summit; Gin’s Tavern, Factoryville; Colonnade Catering, Scranton and Duffy’s, Clarks Summit.

More information about the business can be found online at williamspies.com or by calling 570.586.6133.

PennDOT, police aim to keep roads safe

BY JOAN MEAD-MATSUI Abington Journal Correspondent

While the holiday season can be synonymous with merrymaking with family and friends, it is also a time of year when PennDOT reminds motorists to avoid drinking and drive if they are attending holiday parties.

PennDOT and police statewide are joining forces for “Operation Safe Holiday,” an initiative including seat-belt, aggressivedriving and impaired driving enforcement aimed at keeping roadways safe . Operation Safe Holiday is part of a national program from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.“The program has been in place for several years. Each holiday season local police take

“Through the New Year, police will also use sobriety checkpoints, roving patrols and regular traffic safety patrols to crack down on motorists who are speeding, driving aggressively or driving while impaired by drugs or alcohol.”

Statistics are sobering. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 32,885 people were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes in 2010. Thirty-one

percent (10,228) of those fatalities involved an alcohol-impaired driver. The holiday season is particularly dangerous.

During December 2010, 2,597 people lost their lives in motor vehicle traffic crashes, and 30 percent (775) involved an alcohol-impaired driver. Data showed that more than twothirds (71%) of those killed in December 2010 were in alcohol-impaired crashes where a driver tested at a blood alcohol concentration of .15 grams per deciliter and above. PennDOT Secretary Barry J. Schoch said, “If we all take the simple steps to buckle up, take our time and drive safe and sober, the holidays will be safer for everyone on Pennsylvania’s roadways.”

The opposition consisted of the Lackawanna County Association of Boroughs, which included the group Scranton Taxing Our People, S.T.O.P., and Larissa Pawelski, a Throop resident who works in the city.

Their main strategy was an attempt to prove that the city had not exhausted all possible revenue sources and therefore the commuter tax was unwarranted.

“There’s an obligation on the part of the city to exhaust all of its internal revenues first,” said Armand Olivetti, attorney for the opposition. “And it’s easy to tax someone who can’t vote against you and who has to depend upon driving into work every day for a living...You’re pretty much stuck with the job you have these days.”

A contingent of Abington area officials attended the hearing, including Bill Wicks, of Glenburn Twp.; Ronald Koldjeski, of Newton Twp.; as well as Marnie O’Dea Palmer and Keith Williams, both of Clarks Green Borough.

“I think the city made the case for us,” said Wicks, who is also a member of S.T.O.P.’s legal committee. “I don’t believe they met the burden of Act 47 or the Serafini Amendment.”

BY ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER Abington Journal Reporter

The second annual Comet Classic Speech and Debate Tournament at the Abington Heights High School Dec. 15 was interrupted at 4:30 p.m. by the sound of smoke alarms.

According to Superintendent Dr. Michael Mahon, the alarms were triggered by a large amount of smoke, which was the result of a short circuit in a heating unit inside of one of the school’s classrooms.

Mahon said volunteers responded from the Chinchilla Hose Company and several other fire stations, and after using an extinguisher on the heating unit, they drove out the smoke with fans.

He said there were no injuries or damage to the building other than that of the heater.

Mahon said the school is “very grateful for the quick response” of the volunteers.

Recycling law to start Jan. 24

The Lackawanna County Office of Environmental Sustainability would like to advise all residents that as of January 24, 2013, landfills in Pa. will no longer be allowed to accept electronics under the provisions set forth in the Covered Device Recycling Act (Act 108) of 2010.

Items such as laptops, desktops, monitors, televisions and computer peripherals will no longer be able to be collected via curbside pickup or dumpster refuse. Municipal and private haulers will not be able to dispose of these items in a landfill or other solid waste facilities. The items must be recycled.

Barbara Giovagnoli, the County’s community outreach coordinator and education specialist, noted that the Lackawanna County Recycling Center accepts these types of electronics free-of-charge on a daily basis. This would be the most prudent and environmentally sound way to dispose of them, she said.

Another suggestion she said, might be to donate them to a school, nonprofit organization or a civic/religious group.

The goals of Act 108 are to help protect the environment from hazardous components, illegal dumping and conserving landfill capacity and to get into the habit of recycling to save natural resources.

For further information on either Act 108 or recycling protocol, contact Giovagnoli at 570.963.2017, ext. 1.

James Oliver Moon December 10, 2012

James Oliver Moon, 60, Nicholson, died Monday, Dec. 10, at Tyler Memorial Hospital upon arrival.

Born March 17, 1952, in Niagara Falls, N.Y., he was the son of the late Oliver Dudley and Emma Ashton Moon.

Oliver was the superintendent for the Glen Oaks Country Club, Waverly, for many years.

A Nicholson resident, Jim, as he liked to be called, was a 1970 graduate of Abington Heights High School, Clarks Summit.

He was employed by Glen Oaks Country Club, where he worked as an assistant golf course superintendent for many years.

More recently, he was a caretaker for a number of private residences.

Jim’s work was his hobby. He enjoyed grounds keeping work and turf maintenance.

As he often said, he really liked to see things grow. He had a number of professional certifications and memberships, such as the

Pocono Turf Grass Association of Pennsylvania.

Also, he was a skilled mechanic. He liked nothing better than to take an engine apart and make it work better than it had before.

However, the pride and joy of Jim’s life was his dog, Annie, a black Labrador retriever mix. While she will miss her beloved owner, Annie is being well cared for by friends.

Surviving Jim are his brother, Dudley Moon, Selkirk, N.Y.; a nephew, Christopher Moon, Big Sky, Mont.; and three nieces, Amanda Nickerson, Selkirk, N.Y.; Abigail Mahon, Ravena, N.Y.; and Martha MoonRenton, Sea Girt, N.J.

Woman’s Club convenes for holiday luncheon ABINGTON JOURNAL/KRISTIE GRIER CERUTI

President Hollie D’Agata welcomed members and guests of the Waverly Woman’s Club Dec. 12 at Glen Oak Country Club for their annual Holiday Luncheon.

She announced that the club’s Attic Shop has undergone a name and logo shift and mentioned a new presence on social media website Facebook. The new name and logo, The Vintage Pleat at The Attic Shop, will reflect modern touches, while still continuing the tradition of the club.

The upscale consignment shop has been opening its doors since March 1950 at the Waverly Community House and has continued to be successful with the volunteer help of Waverly Woman’s Club members. The logo was designed

by Keen Bean, she said.

Attic Shop Chair people are Carole Bauman, Dottie Hood and Kathy Johnson.

D’Agata said member Kristin Walsh will be the new publicity representative for the club.

Gavigan, who has been teaching for 12 years, is also registered dietitian with B.S. in nutrition and family and consumer sciences education. She is part of the middle school’s Family and Consumer Sciences team.

The team includes Sandi Graham, a coordinator of the family and consumer sciences education program at Marywood University, with 20 years of experience and a B.S. in Family and consumer sciences and an M.S. in sports nutrition; and Linda Wall, a first- year teacher with a B.S. in family and consumer sciences education.

lifestyle through hands- on experience in the kitchen. The curriculum at the middle school encompasses culinary basics, meal planning and discussion of nutrients in meals, sanitation and portion control.

According to Gavigan, in the 5th grade, most recipes are individualized. Children make an individual Chex mix, which allows them to practice dry measurements and oven safety.

“The recipes are simple, but touch upon all aspects of cooking, safety as well as proper dishwashing and cleanup. Also as part of the 5th grade curriculum, we learn about the digestive system and review, ‘What’s on my plate,’ the government program that helps children to learn the importance of fruits and vegetables in our diet.”

In the sixth grade, the cooking becomes more complex as students prepare a chicken dinner.

tion and hunger safety net for millions of children.”

At a local school district level, this means a lot of changes, improvements and tweaking of the lunch lines.

Joanne Pesota, Abington Heights School District food service director of 33 years, has seen a lot of changes implemented in the system since she first started her career, and she said the new guidelines have not made things easy. While she agrees wholeheartedly with the concept and values behind them, she said practical implementation is the difficult part, especially when similar guidelines are lacking in the students’ homes.

“We need all the support we can get from the parents and the community,” she said.

According to Pesota, the improved lunch program is experiencing a smoother takeoff in the high school than in the middle school, partially because the older students are more health-conscious than younger ones, often due to activities such as sports. She said the main way parents, especially those of middle school students, can help improve their children’s health is by feeding them at home according to the same nutritious standards by which they are required to eat in the school cafeteria.

The lunch menu at the high school, which is almost identical to that of the middle school, includes: a diverse selection of fruits and vegetables such as carrots, broccoli, kiwi, packaged apple slices, grapes and more; salads made with romaine lettuce; daily meal specials such as whole grain pasta with chicken parmesan made with unbreaded white meat

THE HEALTHY HUNGER-FREE KIDS ACT OF 2010 According to the Abington Heights School District website, the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act includes the following key points in order to “improve child nutrition programs and make meals and offerings more nutritious”: • Half of the grains offered must be whole grain-rich.

• Milk selections include fat free (flavored and unflavored) and 1 percent fat unflavored only.

• Students are required to take at least 1/2 cup of fruit or vegetable with every meal.

• The components for reimbursable meals must be identified near the serving line.

• A variety of vegetables must be offered daily and there is a weekly minimum for legumes, beans and peas and dark green and red and orange vegetables.

• Products must not contain trans fats.

• There is now a minimum and maximum allowance for meats and meat alternates, bread and bread alternates and calorie levels. Limits are based on the age of the children to insure proper portion size.

• The single menu planning approach will be food based menu planning for all age groups.

• The act increases the focus on reducing the amounts of saturated fat, added sugars and sodium.

• The act also strengthens local school wellness policies with an emphasis on classroom celebrations, fundraising options, vending machine choices located anywhere on school property and school stores.

Ten tips for hands -on helpers

Cooking with your kids Joan Gavigan, Abington Heights Middle School Family and Consumer Sciences teacher suggested a recipe from the 5th grade curriculum.

Vegetable Pizza Yield one 8 by 12 -inch pizza ½ cup bell pepper, shopped 1 onion, medium, chopped ½ cup sundried tomatoes, chopped 2 teaspoons Italian seasonings 2 Tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 8 by 12 -inch pizza crust 2 Tablespoons olive oil ½ cup low -fat mozzarella cheese, shredded Sauté onions in a pan in olive oil until they begin to caramelize.

Add green pepper.

When green pepper softens add sundried tomatoes, seasonings, salt and pepper.

Brush the pizza crust with olive oil and spread vegetable mixture over the crust.

Sprinkle pizza with shredded cheese.

Carolyn Northerner’s 19th Century Dolls are seldom seen by the public. One of the dolls is child sized, created by Cuno and Otto Dressel in Germany to exactly resemble the daughter of the artist. She is displayed among many other costumed dolls from France, Austria and Germany. Easy to miss is a tiny sled with a boy and dogs that was commissioned by explorer Admiral Byrd for his daughter.

Brought back by popular demand is Amy Colley’s family dollhouse. It was salvaged by her father for his two daughters and furnished by her mother. It is complete with rugs, lights, family photos and many more loving details. Displayed with moonlight coming in the windows and snow on the ground, it fires the imagination with Christmas expec-

Who directed "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey"?

MORE THAN MOVIES Dietrich Theater Erica Rogler

It is hard to believe that Christmas is almost here. If you are looking for entertainment for you and yours over the holiday break, the Dietrich is the place to go.

Gather up your friends and family and enjoy some Hollywood fare and the best popcorn around at the Dietrich. We will be showing “Lincoln,” “Les Misérables,” “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” and “Monsters, Inc.” in 3-D. I can’t wait to see Lincoln.

There is so much acclaim surrounding that film. Did you know that Steven Spielberg spent twelve years doing research for this movie, which is based on Doris Kearns Goodwin book Team of Rivals? That’s right – he recreated Lincoln’s Executive Mansion office accurately, with the same wallpaper and books Lincoln used.

I’ve heard a few folks say that Daniel Day-Lewis and Sally Field are exceptional in their roles as Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln, respectively, and that they are planning to see the movie again.

I also want to see “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” and “Les Misérables” since I read both of those books growing up.

“The Hobbit” is the prequel to the “Lord of the Rings” series, and from the trailers, it looks just as amazing as those films. And “Les Misérables” has an incredible cast including Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway. This is the first movie where every single song in the film was recorded live on set to capture the actors’ performances as opposed to prerecording the music and having the actors lip sync to it on set.

Speaking of movies, Dietrich Theater gift bags make perfect gifts for just about anyone on your holiday gifting giving list. They are wonderful for movie buffs, teachers, teens, families, customers and employees.

Movie bags are beautifully wrapped by Dietrich volunteers and contain two tickets, two bags to bring in for popcorn and two candies.

Stop by the theater anytime to purchase them or call 570.996.1507 to order any quantity in advance.

In addition to movies, the Dietrich will be presenting its annual Holiday Camp over the break. On Dec. 27 and Dec. 28 from 9:30 to 11 a.m., students ages five to See Dietrich, Page 11

Parenthood, Abington Style with Adriane Heine

A clean house on a budget

BY MARY ANN MCGRATH

Holiday car trips with children along might lend themselves to “listening time” for the whole family. Plan to check out one of the new audio books on CDs for youngsters that were just purchased at the Abington Community Library.

“Like the Willow Tree: Portland, Maine, 1918 – the Diary of Lydia Amelia Pierce,” by Lois Lowry. Lydia, a fiercely independent girl, and her older brother, Daniel, must grapple with a new world that is nothing like the one they used to know when they are taken to be raised in a Shaker community following the death of their parents during the Spanish influenza epidemic.

“Christina’s Ghost,” by Betty Ren Wright. Christina is a lonely girl who is forced to spend some time with her grumpy Uncle Ralph in an isolated mansion, reluctantly joining forces with him when she encounters a ghost and a mystery.

“Ballpark Mysteries: Books 1 – 5,” by David A. Kelly. Join forces with Mike Walsh and Kate Hopkins as they encounter mystery and danger at five different ballparks across the country. Listen to “The Fenway Foul-Up,” “The Pinstripe Ghost,” “The L. A. Dodger,” “The Astro Outlaw,” and “The All-Star Joker.”

“Liar & Spy,” by Rebecca Stead. When 12-year-old Georges moves into a Brooklyn apartment building, he meets Safer, a boy his own age, who is also a self-appointed spy.

Safer recruits Georges and assigns him to tracking the mysterious Mr. X who lives in the apartment upstairs. Safer becomes more and more demanding and Georges more reluctant to carry on with the spying as he wonders how far to go for a friend.

“Ghost Knight,” by Cornelia Funke. Eleven-year-old Jon Whitcroft never expected to be confronted by a pack of vengeful ghosts at his new boarding school. Together Jon and his new friend, Ella, must work to uncover the secrets of a centuries-old murder while being haunted by terrifying spirits.

“D’Aulaire’s Book of Greek Myths,” by Ingri and Edgar Parin D’Aulaire. This classic work is read aloud by four superstars of the entertainment world who capture the drama and humor of the authors’ retelling of the stories of the gods and goddesses of ancient Greece.

DIETRICH

Author: Gift a child with a local book

Laugh to Live owner and author of the children’s book “Wartz And All,” Jeannine M. Luby of Scranton, is teaming with three organizations that serve children throughout northeastern Pa. to put a happy story into the hands of the children they serve.

Luby’s new initiative seeks individuals and corporations who give, to purchase copies of “Wartz And All” to donate to the Children’s Advocacy Center: A Child Abuse Intervention Center; United Neighborhood Centers of Northeast PA and the Women’s Resource Center of NEPA. Each organization provides valuable services to children and their families and can benefit from the donation of books to their centers so the children they serve can own their own copy.

“The children we serve could benefit for a day, a year, a lifetime…from good reading, especially, a happy book,” said Mary Ann LaPorta, Executive Director of the Children’s Advocacy Center of NEPA. Luby’s goal is to deliver several copies of “Wartz And All,” which is recommended for ages 4 to 8, to each of the three organizations so that children can leave the centers with their own book. She hopes that one day the children can even visit the Lackawanna River Heritage Trail that inspired the story and its setting.

While the initiative is being kicked off during the holidays, it will be an ongoing program. Luby said, “We all dig a bit deeper to give more around the holidays, but the needs of these children don’t stop once the decorations are down. Children experience pain and upheaval in their lives throughout the year. While I don’t think a book will erase their pain, I do hope this happy story of a frog and his friends learning to accept one another, no matter their differences, will provide a lift at a time when these children need it most.”

Books can also be purchased anytime online at WartzAndAll.com. A bit about the organizations receiving book donations: • Over 2,000 children per year enjoy programs that are part of the children and youth department of United Neighborhood Centers. Held at three childcare centers, UNC’s before and after-school programs give children a fun, active, enriching, supervised and safe environment 12 months a year, including teacher work days and vacation days.

• The Children’s Advocacy Center/NEPA is a Child Abuse Intervention Center, which provides forensic interviews and medical assessments for child victims of suspected sexual and physical abuse and neglect. The Center also provides training and educational programs to all segments of the community in regard to recognizing, reporting and preventing child abuse.

• The Women’s Resource Center WRC serves children through its Sexual Assault Intervention Program, Safe House and Transitional Housing.

A jazz noel One of the joyful holiday traditions in the Clarks Summit area is the 11 p.m. Jazz Christmas Eve service at the First Presbyterian Church. The bustling congregation on the corner of Stone Avenue and School Street has offered this holiday gift to the community for over a dozen years. This year, however, the impact extends even further.

Rev. Bill Carter, pastor of the church and leader of the Presbybop jazz quartet, was wondering what he could do to support those recovering from Hurricane Sandy. His thoughts turned to his friend Carl Wilton, pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Point Pleasant, N.J. The Point Pleasant church is located just blocks from the high-water mark of the hurricane’s storm surge and has many members who have been flooded out of their homes.

At the same time, Wilton

was feeling concern for his church members, who will be having a very different sort of Christmas this year in the storm’s aftermath. He contacted Rev. Bill Carter to say, ‘Wouldn’t it be a great thing if the Presbybop Jazz Quartet could do a benefit here for hurricane relief to lift people’s spirits?” said Wilton.

Together, the two hatched plans for a live benefit concert of Christmas carols set to a jazz beat. The “Jazz Noel” concert took place Dec. 17 in Point Pleasant Beach. Admission was free and a free-will offering raised funds for the church’s hurricane-relief efforts. Advance contributions had already covered all the expenses of bringing the band to town, so every penny raised have gone to help displaced people in the area.

All students interested in working on stage or backstage are welcome. The theme for this production is “Under the Big Top.” Admission is free.

As you can see, the Dietrich is so much more than the movies.

My house has never been cleaner. I had forgotten how having a crawler in the family affects everyone’s attention to clean floors. Sarah just turned one, and she not only has attentive parents, but also hypervigilant big sisters watching over her. Our anxieties are heightened by two facts: Sarah is deeply entrenched in the mouthing stage, and a dear family friend of ours recently lost a toddler to choking.

Needless to say, cleaning house has become a team sport. I’ve always prided myself on not being overly neat. I hate to watch friends or family stress so much about the perfection of their home that they are unable to host a playgroup.

Everyone in the house, including the kids, is anxious, waiting for mom or dad to snap at the slightest sign of disarray. I’ve quelled the obsessive-compulsive side of myself and tried to focus on providing a comfortable, “lived-in” home in which the kids can thrive. All the fussing over perfection in decorating and spotlessness was not going to benefit the children in any way. In fact, the stress caused by an overly neat parent could be damaging to a child’s psyche.

People may gasp at this admission, but I used to clean every two weeks. That was as long as I could ignore the piles of dog hair accruing in the corners. If people happened to be stopping by and it was well into the two- week period, I’d just lower the lights. Then, a few years ago, I went to work full- time. With my newfound

income and less time on my hands, I hired a cleaning lady.

She came only once every two weeks, but it was glorious. She cleaned UNDER things. My house looked like a different place after she left.

When I became pregnant at an Advanced Maternal Age, she became even more important.

“Tell Doug you need her EVERY week,” my mother said, worried about my blood pressure and doctor-recommended bed rest. And so she came. And it was good.

Sarah was born a little early, and through her first few months, I needed my cleaning lady even more. Sarah didn’t like to be put down. Her tiny, bird-like body begged to be held all the time. My cleaning lady was great with kids. She made us all feel better. And the house sparkled.

Around Sarah’s first birthday, though, I noticed something. When the cleaning lady came, I found myself moving from room to room, trying to stay out of her way and keep a very active, healthy toddler busy. Then it dawned on me. I don’t need her anymore. I’m not working outside of the house; I’m not sick and I no longer have a very needy infant.

There was another variable affecting this decision, my older girls. Dani and Lauren, No. 1, need to learn how to clean and No. 2, need money.

They are preteens who should be getting some training in household chores beyond picking up after themselves.

They don’t get an allowance,

PAGE 11A

they get paid for work, and there’s not much work being offered to them.

So I sadly bid my friend goodbye, expressing my hope that one day, she will return to us. Then we got to work.

Vacuuming did not initially go well and it’s still far from up to par. The first attempt by my 11 -year -old ended in tears.

“Why are you so hard on me?!” (Because when you finish a room, I expect the dog hair to be gone with you.)

Dusting, however, has been mastered. The last time I let them help, they were too young.

They were preschoolers and saw it as fun, a game and the cleaning products as toys. They would empty an entire aerosol can of wood polish on one table before I grabbed it away. Pushing the button on the can was so much fun. Windex would be sprayed on the sliding glass doors with such a heavy hand that a whole roll of Bounty wouldn’t wipe it dry. Now, they get it. They know where to use the Pledge, the Windex and the microfiber dust cloth. Bathrooms are a breeze and time spent with the Swiffer is both fun and productive.

With Sarah and two dogs on the floor, as well as a husband who goes hunting regularly and “forgets” to remove his boots nearly as often, vacuuming has become part of my exercise routine. We are cleaning so often that the girls have begun to accrue spending money. Last weekend, Dani went out with her Nana and later informed me she not only bought Christmas gifts, but also her own lunch.

I never thought I would be excited about cleaning, but I am. My older kids are earning money, learning skills and feeling good about their abilities.

My baby is safe. I am better exercised and have more pocket cash. They are cheap labor, after all.

A purpose of the program was to collect shoes to be sent to Webuye, in East Kenya, along with money for the shipping costs. The church partnered with “Encouragement Inc” to help Kenyan children in need of shoes.

For two and a half weeks this summer, Pollock, along with a friend, visited Kenya as part of a mission program. She said, “We saw such a need. While I was there, I saw a lady who didn’t have shoes, so I was able to give her my shoes. She was ecstatic and said it was her first pair of shoes ever…It is such a small thing to us, but it’s such a huge thing to them.”

FACTORYVILLE- Led by senior guard Kyle Kiehart, Lakeland Jr./Sr. High School defeated Lackawanna Trail, 66-47, in an opening-round game of the Cal King Memorial Tournament held at Lackawanna Trail High School Dec. 14.

Kiehart, who finished the game with 26 points and 13 rebounds, broke Bobby Morcom Jr.’s alltime scoring record of 1,477 points.

“It means a lot,” Kiehart said. “Throughout the years, this has been my goal. It’s a great accomplishment, but it’s even better that we got the win.

“I thought we did pretty well in the first half. They were shading to my side and other guys stepped up huge on the boards and got some points."

Chiefs’ senior point guard Eric Grabowski contributed 15 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds.

Lakeland senior forward Tyler Brady added 11 points and 6 rebounds.

Freshman Tony Harding had 7 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds.

“When all of us score, we’re a hard team to stop,” Kiehart said. “When we’re all on and getting rebounds we’re a very good team.

We need to do that every game to compete with the teams on our schedule.”

Lackawanna Trail led, 16-15, at the end of the first quarter when Dylan Harris sank a 3-pointer from the corner in the final seconds of the quarter.

Lakeland’s Kyle Kiehart (30) broke the school’s all-time scoring record in the Chiefs’ win over Lackawanna Trail.

Lakeland closed the third quarter on a 9-3 run, including a basket by freshman Nate Morgan as time expired, to take a 45-40 lead into the fourth quarter.

“We’re trying to get some play out of our younger guys this year,” Lakeland head coach Dave Rosenkrans said. “I played about 11 guys in the rota-

tion tonight becuase we’re trying to find some guys who can play out there.”

Sophomore Ross Fauquier led Lackawanna Trail with 17 points and 6 rebounds. Matt Decker added 12 points and 5 rebounds for the Lions.

Lakeland outscored Lackawanna Trail, 21-7, in the fourth quarter.

“I think we were getting

“Additionally, she will be a key member on our relays.”

KILZI BOUNCES BACK – Injured most of last season, Elizabeth Kilzi played in just five games at the end of the year for the Roger Williams women’s basketball team. But the senior has bounced back this season.

“Liz really had to be a leader from the sidelines,” coach Kelly Thompson said of last season. “It wasn’t exactly the junior year we had planned for her.”

This season, Kilzi (Abington Heights) is back in the lineup and the Hawks have won four straight and are 5-4 on the season. She started off slowly in the shooting department, but in the last three games she had 18 points in a 69-46 victory over Colby, 14 points in a 76-60 triumph over Western New England, 10 points in a 54-47 victory over Brandeis and 16 points in a 68-62 COURTESY JIM O’CONNOR-NJ SPORT PICS victory over Connecticut Katie Paterson, shown, at the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Swimming College. at Marywood in October.

Rosenkrans believes his three senior starters have developed a good chemistry over the years.

“This is the fourth year we’ve had them together,” he said. “The three of them are a nice combination.”

Senior guard Tim Lavelle, of Clarks Green played a key role in the men’s basketLavelle ball team’s victory at Mt. St. Mary, N.Y. Dec. 6, helping him earn The University of Scranton Athlete of the Week honors for the period ending Dec. 9.

Lavelle, a Scranton Preparatory graduate, scored 12 points to go along with three assists and a steal in the victory, which improved the Royals to 6-0. But it was his play at the end of the first half that was a big reason why the Royals were able to overcome a 13-point first-half deficit.

With the Royals trailing by 11, Lavelle canned a 3-pointer with 1:35 to play in the half to cut the deficit to single digits. On Mt. St. Mary’s ensuing possession, Lavelle made a steal and lay-up 20 seconds later, to bring the Royals within 30-24, the deficit they would carry into halftime.

Lavelle also had four points and six rebounds in Scranton’s 67-54 loss to Merchant Marine Academy Dec. 9, in the Long Center.

Turf field coming to Abington Area park

BY JOAN MEAD-MATSUI Abington Journal Correspondent

SOUTH ABINGTON TWP. - Work on a field turf project at Abington Area Community Park, South Abington Township, continues as shown, despite a setback from Hurricane Sandy in October, which caused a delay of a few days, according to Tim McCoy, project manager.

“The stone base under the turf is meant to drain and stabilize the poor soils, but some areas are so bad that we needed to bring in a Geo-technical engineer who recommended a heavy grade fabric be used in those areas. It is the same material that PennDOT uses when

building roads over swampy areas. The recent rains are not helping matters,” said McCoy. “The exiting clay soils on the site do not drain well and so the ground becomes saturated and holds water like a sponge after every rain and snow. This was the biggest problem with the original grass field.

The turf will alleviate that problem, but preparing the site has been difficult.”

The installation of Geotextile and Stone Base is in progress at this time and turf material is schedule to be delivered Dec.19. Field Turf is the lead contractor on the project and Land Tek is the subcontractor for Field Turf.

The current contract with

Field Turf is $892,099.74.

McCoy added, “They have removed the existing top soils and are installing geotextile fabric and stone that will form the base under the synthetic turf. The concrete curbing around the perimeter of the field, along with the supports for the fencing and netting has also been installed.”

He noted the project is running close to the original schedule and should be completed by middle to late January. Paving may be delayed until the spring if the asphalt plants close due to the weather. The walkways and parking area will be started pending stabilization of sub grades.

“Over the past few months, Emma has done a great job adapting,” Striker said. “Her addition has provided us with greater opportunities to put together competitive relays.

ing the hardware and software necessary to make the vehicle run.

Each team must focus on technical goals of EcoCAR 2.

These are: construct and demonstrate vehicles and powertrains that reduce fuel consumption, reduce well-towheel greenhouse gas emissions, reduce criteria tailpipe emissions, and maintain consumer acceptability in the areas of performance, utility and safety Competition requirements and deadlines are scored throughout each academic year with a final competition in the summer of each year.

Regula developed an interest in automotive and fuel efficiency early on and gained a larger interest during his junior year of high school.

Currently, as a Chemical Engineering major at The Pennsylvania State University, he is a member of the mechanical team, which is assigned to work on designing and fabricating components for the fuel system, power units and electric motor.

Regula, a senior, is also the vice president of The Pennsylvania State University’s chapter Omega Chi Epsilon, the National Honor Society for Chemical Engineering.

He believes the conversion to green energy is crucial for the environment, the economy and the automotive industry.

“Cars produce emissions that are horrible to the environment,” Regula said. “We want to help our environment and become green because it helps our environment, as well as our pockets.”

The EcoCAR 2 competition enables Regula to apply classroom knowledge to solve a real-world problem and to learn how students can work side by side to accomplish mutual goals.

“I love being able to work with engineers that have a similar passion for HEVs to help solve a problem that continues to grow,” Regula said. “I enjoy the hands-on

experience of getting to see what goes into making hybrid electric vehicles. I also enjoy getting to build hybrid electric vehicles and see how well they can perform.”

Regula and other competitors face the challenge of using innovative technology to create better vehicle efficacy and reduce petroleum consumption while maintaining consumer acceptability and usability. In addition, the outreach team works to plan educative and interactive events for children to inform them on science and math oriented fields in hopes of sparking genuine interest.

After completion of his senior year, Regula plans to attend graduate school to research the use of lithium ion batteries in hybrid cars and how they can help them run more efficiently.

“I believe very much in global warming and the role that carbon dioxide emissions play in the process,” Regula said.

Regula, 21, is determined to help make lower those emissions in the environment.

“Making vehicles green and more efficient will play a big role in being able to do that,” he said.

He is the son of John Regula and Bernadette Rudolph.

During the second year of the competition, students will build the vehicle and continue to refine, test and improve vehicle operation. At the end of years two and three, the re-engineered student vehicle prototypes will compete in a weeklong competition of engineering tests. These tests are similar to the tests GM conducts to determine a prototype’s readiness for production. The Greenhouse gas, Regulated Emissions, and Energy in Transportation (GREET) model, developed at Argonne National Laboratory, will be used to assess a well to wheel analysis of the greenhouse gas impacts of each technology approach the teams select.

During the competition in Yuma, Ariz. in May, student teams will demonstrate the vehicles.

A.H. students earn spots in district band Abington Heights High School music students earned a position in the PMEA District 9 Band.

They will attend the District 9 Band Festival at Blue Ridge High School in January.
