KEYSTONE COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT 2013

By ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER

Mark Kusma, 47, of South Abington Twp., was elected district governor of the District 14-H Lions Club at its convention April 14. A six-year member who was twice president of the South Abington Kusma Lions Club, Kusma said he first got involved with the organization through its Santa project when a friend asked him to drive Santa Claus around to the homes of local children for Christmas. He said his current responsibilities as district governor include overseeing 32 clubs in Lackawanna, Susquehanna, Wyoming and Wayne counties and one Lioness Club in Lake Winola; representing the district at the state level; making decisions that affect Lions across the state; attending quarterly district cabinet meetings; and overseeing several projects such as the sight and hearing programs. What he most enjoys about the club: “While we’re an international organization, the great part is that each club responds to their community. So, every club does what is needed in their community.” At the local level, the South Abington Lions Club participates in an Adopt a Highway

Season of FAREWELLS C

ommencement activities at Keystone College, La Plume May 18 marked a milestone as the final one for Keystone President Dr. Edward G. Boehm Jr. Dr. Boehm is stepping down as president after 18 years, the longest presidential tenure in the history of the college. Dr. Boehm will become President Emeritus and will be succeeded on June 1 by David L. Coppola, Ph.D. as 10th president of Keystone College. For additional photos, see Page 4.

CLARKS SUMMIT- Rachel Gilbert, whose four children attend Abington Heights School District, including three at Waverly Elementary School, expressed her concerns about potential teacher cuts. During the May 1 school board meeting, Abington Heights Superintendent of Schools Dr. Michael Mahon recommended the district not replace three elementary positions that will be left vacant as teachers retire. He said this would result in an approximate savings of $320,000. He also recommended the district not replace an English teaching position at the high school. That cut would save approximately $105,000. “I’m gravely concerned about class sizes in the future,” Gilbert said. “For young kids, the teacher to student contact is so important. The number 26 totally overwhelms me. The average kid that just does what he is supposed to do gets so little attention.” Abington Heights Assistant Superintendent of Schools Dr. Thomas Quinn assured the audience that class sizes are being taken into serious consideration. “I would like to assure you that we share those concerns,” he said. “Ultimately, student achievement has far more to do with the teacher in the classroom than how many kids are in the classroom. I’ll be the first to admit, the more kids there are in the classroom, the harder it can be on a teacher.” Alicia Vogel, a first grade teacher at Clarks Summit Elementary School, added that increased classes sizes also poses additional challenges for instruction to special needs students. “I have 20 (students) this year and that’s a manageable number in first grade,” she said. “Last year, I had 25 and I have a lot of

Brothers united, grateful for community support ‘Pitching In For The Diskins’ will be held May 25 at the Ransom Township Lions Club Playground/Ball Diamond. By JOAN MEAD-MATSUI

Abington Journal Correspondent

Three South Abington Township brothers, Patrick, 27, Joseph, 24, and Michael, 21, Diskin love their home and want to keep it. The family home where the boys reside with their grandmother, Mary Ann Gilarde, was built by their parents, William and JoAnn Diskin,

who died in January 2009 and December 2012, respectively. Also included in the family are JoAnn’s Siberian Huskies, Nick and Angel, which Michael described as JoAnn’s “second priority” and a Rottweiler named Bear . “We owe a lot of money on this house,” said Patrick. Michael added, “My parents built this house…They loved this house and we want to keep it.” So friends of their family approached them with a fundrais-

ing idea they hope will raise as much money as possible, so they can afford to stay in the house in which they were all raised. And when Mary Jo Pasqualichio mentioned the fundraiser idea, “numerous friends stepped up to help.” “Pitching In For The Diskins” will be held May 25, noon to 8 p.m., Ransom Township Lions Club Playground/

ISN’T IT ROMANTIC?

abington journal/joan mead-matsui

Favor for a friend sparks long romance

By Joan Mead-Matsui Abington Journal Correspondent

The story of Kathy and Raphael, or Raphy, Platt’s romance is more about the journey they have traveled together than gifts of flowers and chocolates that are often synonymous with love. “…It’s almost telling a story of two individuals that made it through everything,” said Kathy. “…We got married when we were still in college, so romanticism doesn’t have to be your flowers and your chocolates. I think romanticism in a way is also your struggles…and that to me is sometimes romantic because you did it. You did it together.” Kathy and Raphael, South Abington Township, both 41, were married May 31, 1994, but their story began at Abington Heights High School as Kathy was playing cupid and attempted to arrange a date for her friend with Raphy. “We met because I was trying to set Raphy up with a friend of mine. We really got to know one another because of it,” said Kathy. Prior to dating, “He was the boy who sat in the front of the classroom and I was the girl who sat in the back of the classroom. When my friend said, ‘I’m interested, (in dating Raphy) I said, ‘Let me talk to him. Let me see if he’s interested.’ It went from that point to us being together this long,” said Kathy, noting their bond has spanned 25 years. “You called me and we talked for hours,” said Raphy as the couple reminisced about the days leading up to their first date. “Part of the initial discussion was you were trying to introduce me to a friend.” Many multi-hour conversations followed and opened the door to a strong connection and friendship, that culminated with a first date: lunch at the Glider Diner, Scranton, on a half day of school in January 1987, several months later. And when reflecting back to their first kiss, Kathy said, “It brings us back to being giddy. I remember us being at my aunt’s house and just hanging out and all of a sudden kissing. It was so pure and I don’t know where it came from.” They graduated from Abington Heights High School in 1990 and were engaged in 1992, and while their families wanted a large wedding, they chose a small ceremony. “We had a humble wedding with humble beginnings,” said Raphy. “We wanted to start our lives as just us.” Their honeymoon was about “just

being together,” and did not include a trip until 10 years later, when they took a honeymoon trip to Las Vegas that included front row tickets at a Celine Dion concert. In June 2006, son, Calvin was born, and he is their primary focus now. “I am blessed,” said Kathy of her life. Raphy added, “Blessed is a good way to say it. We have a very healthy marriage,” said Raphy. “We don’t say perfect because there’s nothing really perfect in life.” Kathy is an extrovert. Raphy is more introverted, but they balance one another’s personalities with two different ways of thinking, and most of the time they meet somewhere in the middle. “I love the life we have together. It’s very comfortable coming to a home where you know you can be yourself and relax,” said Raphy. In an effort to keep communication a priority, they take time to talk to one another without distractions from electronics. Long drives to New York City, Philadelphia and their favorite Korean market, a theater performance, tennis and walking are some of the activites they enjoy together. “It comes down to communication. If you’re communicating regularly, or you build a strong channel then you know you can trust the person you rely on,” said Raphy with a nod of agreement from Kathy. Kathy is a school tax collector, Zumba instructor, teacher’s aide and PTO president. Raphy works in finance for Prudential. They are married 19 years and celebrate their love day-to-day.

Reasons to Relay hit close to home for volunteers By Mary Chuff Abington Journal Correspondent

Kathy and Raphael Platt, South Abington Twp., were married in May of 1994, but their relationship dates back to their days at Abington Heights High School.

WWW.THeaBINgTONJOURNaL.COM

Dozens of student volunteers spend months working toward one weekend. Relay for Life of the Abingtons lasts only 16 hours, but it takes much more to ensure the weekend goes smoothly. Relay for Life of the Abingtons is an annual event that takes place over 16 hours from Saturday afternoon to Sunday morning, June 8 to 9. The weekend raises both money and awareness for the American Cancer Society. Although Relay for Life of Abington is a community wide event and open to any interested participants, much of the planning and work is handled by student volunteers from area schools. Although Relay weekend promises fun with friends and a carnival atmosphere, many of the volunteers have much more serious and personal reasons behind their involvement. This is Melanie Fricchione’s first year as an overall co-chair for Relay for Life. But Fricchione is no stranger to Relay. She began shadowing members of the luminaria committee in seventh and eighth grades. As a freshman in high school, she chaired the luminaria committee. Fricchione, Clarks Summit, said she “moved through the ranks” of Relay committees and now serves as one of two overall co-chairs. But for Fricchione’s involvement goes beyond committee work. Both Fricchione’s older brother and sister were involved in Relay for Life of Abington. Fricchione estimates “it’s been about 13 years of Fricchiones on Relay committees.” Fricchione said both her aunt and uncle have had cancer twice,

WaNT TO gO? What: relay for life of the abingtons When: 3 p.m. june 8 through 7 a.m. june 9 How to get involved: sign up for relay for life of abington at www.relay.org an event that was “shaking for my family.” She said raising awareness for the disease that has affected her family is “something that really drives me.” Fricchione said one of her favorite aspects of Relay is the involvement of the students and “coming together for something bigger than us” and high school students who are giving up their Saturday night to be at Relay when they “could be doing something else.” But Fricchione is not the only Relay committee member who got involved because of siblings. Zack Sutter, chair of the logistics committee, first became involved with Relay for Life with his older sister and his friends. Cancer affects millions of people in the United States, a fact Sutter knows all too well. Sutter said his grandmother died from cancer, making his connection to Relay very personal. The Abington Heights senior said he has been a chair on the Relay committee since his freshman year. Much of his work involves set-up and the logistics of the event, such getting the walkie-talkies used by committee chairs. Much of the planning and structure of Relay stays the same from year to year. But Sutter, Newton, said the committees are

always working to engage the community. “We found more ways to get more people involved,” he said. Like many Relay participants, Sutter’s favorite moment of Relay weekend is the Luminaria Ceremony. On Saturday night, lists of names of both cancer survivors and those who have died of cancer are read aloud. Luminarias, paper bags with candles inside, are arranged around the track and in the shape of the word “hope.” The paper bags have the names of survivors or the deceased written on the front. It’s a “pretty beautiful ceremony,” Sutter said. Relay weekend is filled with fun activities and jokes but the Luminaria Ceremony underscores the gravity and importance of the fight against cancer and the ceremony “gets pretty serious,” Sutter said. Like many of her fellow committee members, Elizabeth Bamford’s involvement in Relay began when she was in middle school. Although this is her first year on a committee, the Abington Heights sophomore said she has been involved in Relay for Life since eighth grade when some of her friends started a Relay team. Bamford, South Abington Twp., said she wanted to get more involved in Relay for Life of Abington, so she applied and was named one of two co-chairs for the sponsorship committee. For Bamford, the most important part of Relay for Life is creating awareness for cancer and research. “You can do something about it and help,” Bamford said.

Revitalizing a garden gem After more than 25 years, a committee has been formed to assist in the revitalization of a once gem in the borough of Clarks Summit. According to members of Rocco’s Garden Project, the gardens at Our Lady of the Snows Church, State Street, were once the talk of the town and aside from parishioners, many traveled to have their wedding or First Holy Communion pictures taken there. Rocco’s Garden Project recently sponsored a Garden Cocktail Party to assist in the revitalization. The event was held in the gardens at Our Lady of the Snows May 17 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Live jazz music and appetizers were on the menu. For more information call 570.466.2951.

BUDGET Continued from Page 1A special needs students and I’m in full agreement of including them, but at Clarks Summit Elementary we have one learning support teacher that is responsible for working with three grade level teachers, kindergarten, first grade and second grade. If the necessary supports aren’t provided in the buildings, we’re going to see some decreases in student achievement in my opinion.” Quinn added, “There is some guided research that says if we take the class size issue and fiscal reality that school districts face, a legitimate cap to think about is 26 (students). “We’re looking at that as a ceiling,” he said. “We recognize that there are some grades that are fundamentally important for lots of different reasons. We look at kindergarten and we’re not going to let it get that high. We can’t let it happen at first grade, either. According to Quinn, as many as three or four elementary schools may have class sizes in one grade level, likely between grades two through four, near or at 26 students,

depending on how the enrollment changes throughout the summer. “What we try to do from the outset, regardless of consideration of staffing, is to get the group of kids that would be most effectively put together with the teacher that they have been assigned. As we proposed not the replace the positions, we know there would have to be some shifting involved to get those numbers where they would do the least amount of damage. “Quite frankly, we know we’re pushing on the edge of our effectiveness.” According to Quinn, if they positions were not eliminated, the larger class sizes would be in the high teens. Helene Magnotta addressed the board regarding the district’s intrusion policy. “My concern is that there is a plan, and that it’s practiced, reviewed and updated,” she said. According to Quinn, the district has conducted lockdown drills at the middle school and high school with the police departments. “In both cases, we learned several very important things from their own observations about mistakes we had existing in our current plan,” Quinn

said. “We intend to do the same thing in the four elementary schools before the year is over, but we want to do it in a more sensitive way. According to Quinn, the process will be be described as “safety drills,” rather than a lockdown. At the May 1 board meeting, Business Manager James Mirabelli presented a draft budget with a deficit of just over $2.5 million. “Since then, we’ve made several changes to the budget in the last two weeks,” he said. “There were several revenue clarifications based off things that we know now. There was the removal of the Chinese program for a $7,500 deduction; the debt service schedule was updated to reflect a loan that was paid off at $180,000 a year; we removed four teachers, three elementary and one English and replaced a

counselor and middle school position.” The board voted, 6-3, for a zero tax increase in the 201314 preliminary general fund budget of $45,051,000. If the vote holds through the final budget passage, the tax rate would remain at 117.35 mils. A mill is $1 for every $1,000 in average assessed property value. Board members Warren Acker, Francis Santoriello and Cathy Hardaway voted against not raising taxes. “I see a structural deficit developing that is growing year by year,” Acker said. “I think that if we have a zero tax increase, you really start to build yourself a hole. At this point in time, I think it’s prudent to say that we need a tax increase.” The board must pass a final budget by June 30. It is currently planned for the June 26 board meeting.

Hootenanny held at ACA Abington Christian Academy recently hosted a hootenanny, a folkmusic singing party with roots in Scotland, the Appalachians and the hippie movement of the 1960s at the school. The large Fellowship Hall at Abington Christian Academy rang with laughter and verses of “She’ll Be Comin’ Round the Mountain,” “This Land is Your Land,” “Country Roads” and other folk songs. Musician Duncan Perry led the group with accompaniment on his

banjo. Academy Kindergarten teacher Dan Summers and dialectic teacher Timothy Zieger—both accomplished musicians—helped lead the hootenanny by singing and playing their guitars. Zieger believes that making music is not just for highly- educated and highly -skilled musicians. Formal and informal music is a basic element of the academy’s curriculum, according to School Administrator Jan Wells.

Earth Camp aims to expand imagination By Linda Scott Abington Journal Correspondent

Earth Camp can expand a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imagination, help them explore the outdoors, learn new skills, build friendships and more, according to its organizers. Students entering 5th, 6th or 7th grade in the fall at Abington Heights Middle and Our Lady of Peace schools can register for this camp. The camp, a state -approved project is funded in part by the Abington Heights Education Improvement Organization (AEIO) and you. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The camp takes what they learned in the classroom and adds to it by the learning experiences in the summer,â&#x20AC;? said Diane Hepford Lenahan, AEIO program co-chair. Additional sponsors include: Lackawanna Heritage Valley Authority, Earth Box, Lahey Family Fun Park Inc. and Wegmans. This is the 6th year for the camp held at Hillside Park by Clarks Summit State Hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a year of transition. The previous director left the area and we are bringing on a new camp director,â&#x20AC;? said Tim Sheffler Earth Camp Co Chairperson. His son Ryan attended the camp for several years and enjoyed it. The new director, Steve Lott teaches grades 5 through 8 at Abington Heights Middle School. He teaching specialty is science and technology. His undergraduate degree is from Le-

high University and his masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degrees are from Washington State, in zoology, and University of Scranton, in education. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I liked the challenge of building programs. I am hoping for the best year with some improvements.â&#x20AC;? Also new this year is a partnership with Keystone College. Paul Devine, a recent Keystone College graduate with a degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education is the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representative and assistant camp director. His future plans include obtaining a substitute teaching position in the area or somewhere in the state. He served as a Health and Fitness counselor at Earth Camp the past two years. The camp consists of three components: Health and Fitness, Art and Science and Environment. Health and Fitness will enable the campers to learn about nutrition and exercise. Art has a nature theme and can include such projects as making solar prints or nature photos. Science and Environment will lead campers to the pond for water samples or fishing. The campers will travel to Birchwood Tennis and Racquet Facility to learn to play tennis. A trip is also planned at Keystone College to explore the Water Interpretative Trail. Visiting professionals will share their knowledge of golf, orienteering, geocaching. Also, pottery with

There are six camp counselors and two for each group. They hail from Keystone College, Marywood University and Bloomsburg University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During the interview, we asked each candidate which component they wanted to work with,â&#x20AC;? said Lott. Lott and Devine contemplated goals for the camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope the campers have a good time and learn a lot and build new friendships,â&#x20AC;? said Lott. Devine hopes to see the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reactions and find out what sparks their interests.

Weis supports Griffin Pond with Paws for Pets By Linda Scott Abington Journal Correspondent

In honor of National Pet Month, Weis Markets in Clarks Summit and other stores hosted events in May to bring awareness of the Griffin Pond Animal Shelter. Its Paws for Pets program focused on the importance of adopting animals. During the month, the store accepted dry and wet dog and cat food, blankets kitty litter, toys and cleaning supplies in a box placed near the front. The box will remain until the end of the month. Monetary donations are also accepted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each cashier asked the customers

if they would like to donate $1, $3 or $5. A coupon with that amount was scanned into the register and the store was given credit for the donation. Each cashier worked very hard to get the donations,â&#x20AC;? said Angie Mitchell, General Merchandise Leader. During the first week, the cashier with the most donations won a $15 gift card. Red bracelets with the slogan Paws for Pets could be purchased for $1. According to Darrin Long, Front End Manager, at Weis â&#x20AC;&#x153;We set out with no set goal. During the week of May 5, Weis Market in Clarks Summit was No.

1 in the district and No. 3 in the chain.â&#x20AC;? All donations will be given to the Griffin Pond Animal Shelter in South Abington Township. On May 19 shoppers could stop by to see a few of the animals the society has available for adoption. A picture board contained many pictures of animals looking for a new home. Marissa Ford, a three -year volunteer was holding Baby Bunny. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I take the animals to events so people can see them. People enjoy and love them and then want to adopt them. I always leave the society with a smile,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Mike Dunio, there with Bagel, a Beagle and Fox Hound mix, said he went to the shelter looking for a dog. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I loved animals- cats and dogs. I could see they needed help getting the dogs out for exercise.â&#x20AC;? The day he visited the shelter, he adopted Bagel and and stayed on to volunteer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is getting the animals out so they can get exposure and possibly become adopted.â&#x20AC;?

She was a 1946 graduate of West Scranton High School and furthered her education studying voice and music at Marywood University, Scranton, under the direction of Sister Davidica, I.H.M. Her love for music provided her the opportunity to study opera under the direction of Madame Naun of the Metropolitan Opera, New York City. Her final coach and mentor, Professor Norbert K. Betti, a well -known area music instructor, helped her accomplish her true potential as a mezzo soprano. It was Betti who also introduced to her loving husband of 63 years. Before devoting her life to her family, she worked for T. M. Miller Casket Co., Scranton, and the Third National

Theodore Varady May 14, 2013

Theodore Varady, 61, Dalton, died Tuesday, May 14, in Memorial Sloan-Kettering New York, N.Y., after a long, courageous battle with cancer. His wife of 35 years was the former Vicky O’Dell. The couple was married Sept. 24, 1977. Born Aug. 24, 1951, in New Brunswick, N.J., he was the son of the late Stephen and Mary “Mamie” Hryhorcoff

South Abington Twp. discusses sewer plan By Linda Scott Abington Journal Correspondent

SOUTH ABINGTON TOWNSHIP- The South Abington Township supervisors met May 13 to discuss funding for a sewer project. The funds would be used to dismantle two pumping stations and replace them with a new gravity line. The supervisors at a future meeting will vote on two interest loans.

Option 1 has a tax free rate of 2.49 percent, fixed for seven years. The interest rate will automatically adjust to 65 percent of the then- current Wall Street Journal National Prime Rate with a floor of 2.00 percent and a cap of 5.00 percent for the term of the loan (192 months) Option 2 tax free rate of 2.74 percent fixed for 11 years. The interest rate adjustment is the same as option number 1. “We need a commitment

letter from the lending institution Penn Security Bank and Trust. Then we will follow the necessary steps of advertising to adopt the ordinance. After it is adopted, it will be sent to the state for review and to see if the state approves or disapproves the ordinance,” said Solicitor William Jones, Esq. The next scheduled meeting May 27 has been canceled due to the Memorial Day holiday.

Classic comedy with a ‘Real Housewives’ theme By Kevin Kearney Abington Journal Correspondent

Clarks Summit-based Ghostlight Productions will present its fifth annual Shakespeare in the Park production with the light-hearted “The Merry Wives of Windsor,” giving the Bard’s classic comedy a modern-day makeover with a “real housewives” theme. The performances will be held at South Abington Park Fridays, May 24 and 31 and Saturdays, May 25 and June 1, at 6:30 p.m., as well as Sundays, May 26 and June 2, at 2:30 p.m. The performances are free to the public. In one of Shakespeare’s most groundbreaking plays, merry mayhem ensues when a large and lusty lothario named Falstaff decides to woo two beautiful but married women, Mrs. Ford and Mrs. Page. Offended by the advances, the wives decide to teach Falstaff a lesson. What follows is a series of mischievous deceptions and misunderstandings, especially when one of the wives is suspected of cheating on her husband. “It has a lot of the same elements of the soap opera,” said director Jeremy Kemmerer, explaining why he decided to give the production a modern-day spin. In that vein, the production is set in 21st-century Brooklyn, with the wives and their cohorts frequenting spas and bars. Despite a somewhat scandalous plot, the story is “merry” and comedic and also offers moral messages

like faithfulness and trust, said Rachel Luann Strayer, who plays Mrs. Ford. “It’s really a light-hearted and fun production,” she said. Kemmerer added, “We wanted to make it accessible to kids and families.” It was Strayer and her husband Jonathan who founded Ghostlight and who came up with the idea of having the plays in South Abington. “We wanted to do theater in the community, and Shakespeare in the Park was a popular concept around the country. We thought it was a wonderful idea,” she said. Last year Ghostlight performed the tragedy “Romeo and Juliet,” so this year the group decided to do a comedy. The plays have attracted up to 1,000 spectators, and Strayer hopes they continue to grow. “I really like how it draws the community together, and especially the kids,” Strayer said. “You have 9- and 10-year-old kids who are just enraptured. I love that.” Watching Shakespearean plays, as opposed to reading them, gives children – and adults – a better understanding of the language, Strayer said. “Shakespeare is meant to be seen,” she said. Ghostlight does not charge admission to its pro-

with “Mr. Rooney,” a former vaudeville performer. Later, she trained with Tony Grant Sr. where she performed on his weekly television show. Additionally, she studied with David Blight in Wilkes-Barre and performed on his television show. Through Blight’s studio, she danced on the Ted Mack Amateur Hour in NYC and became a three- time win-

Who directed “Star Trek Into Darkness”?

The Dietrich Children’s Theatre recently delighted families and young children at the theater with their stage version of “Peter and the Wolf.” It was absolutely enchanting! I loved the music, colorful set and costumes, of course, the beautiful story. During this interactive play, audience members learned a little Russian and helped Peter and his friends on their adventure. We would like to thank the Dietrich’s own Jennifer Jenkins for directing the play and the Pennsylvania Humanities Council for funding the production. In early June, we will continue celebrating live theatre with a bus trip to Broadway to see Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella.” Join us June 5 for this fun-filled trip. Before the show, we will have time to explore the city. And after the show, Douglas Carter Beane has arranged for a Q & A session with the cast of Cinderella. This will be a first for us. Douglas Carter Beane wrote the new book for this magical Broadway production, and he is also a part-time resident of Tunkhannock. After the Q & A, we will enjoy a family-style dinner at Carmine’s on Broadway. Tickets are $235 each and include bus transportation, an orchestra ticket to Cinderella, dinner (including tips and tax) and a contribution to the Dietrich Theater. Call the Dietrich Theater at 570.996.1500 to sign up. And you don’t want to miss 4th Friday in Tunkhannock this month. On May 24, we will present Open Mic at 7 p.m. Come prepared to get on stage or to be entertained. We welcome musicians, poets, storytellers, comedians and other performers. Then at 8:15 p.m., Nygel Metcalfe will take the stage for a spoken word performance. He is a fourth year literature student at St. Stephen’s University. Nygel moonlights as a writer, coach and consultant for the Breaking Ground Poets. Admission is free. Doors open for Open Mic signups at 6:30 p.m. Reserve your slot early. Call the Dietrich at 570.996.1500 for more information. Then Sunday, May 26 from 5 to 8:00 p.m., the Dietrich will host the Breaking Ground Poets Poetry Slam. In this live competition, members of the Breaking Ground Poets will perform original poetry over the course of three rounds before a panel of judges. The focus of a poetry slam is not the written word, but rather, it is a celebration of the art of oral interpretation and performance with emphasis on the interaction between poet and audience. You’ll find a diverse range of work within the slam, including heartfelt love poetry, searing social commentary and more. Breaking Ground Poets is a Tunkhannock-based group

Breaking Ground Poets to bring slam poetry to Dietrich On May 26, join the Breaking Ground Poets at the Dietrich Theater as they present their annual Breaking Ground Poets Poetry Slam. In this live competition, members of the Breaking Ground Poets will perform original poetry over the course of three rounds before a panel of five judges. Performers will offer a diverse range of styles and subject matter and audiences can expect to experience heartfelt love poetry, searing social commentary, uproarious comic routines and bittersweet personal confessional pieces. Performers are asked to present to content that does not exceed a PG-13 rating. With this in mind, the event is recommended for ages 14 and up. The festivities will be hosted by local writer, Amye Archer. Archer is known as the creator and host of the

Prose in Pubs Reading series, a bi-monthly event that allows writers to read their work in a casual setting. As master of ceremonies, Archer will prepare the audience for what the Breaking Ground Poets will present and how the competition will be judged. In the past two years the Breaking Ground Poets have made themselves a prominent group in the local literary community and performers will utilize their creativity, writing and performance skills in hopes of gaining the glory of winning the slam. The Breaking Ground Poets is headed by Tunkhannock High School teacher, Katie Wisnosky. Each new school year brings new writers including Tunkhannock students and youth from the community, as well as new goals and challenges. This year the group is focusing

on the promotion of creative writing, public speaking, emotional literacy and civic engagement within the youth writing communities of NEPA. The Breaking Ground Poets believe that they can build a stronger generation of readers, writers and thinkers through storytelling and positive reinforcement. That means that this slam isn’t just about the poets, it’s about the support and encouragement that the audience will supply by coming to witness some amazing performances. A poetry slam is a celebration of the art of oral interpretation and performance and this event will emphasize interaction between the poets and the audience. And audiences can expect high quality work. The slam will adhere to standards based on national competitions. Poets will have roughly three minutes per

poem, and each performance will be scored by a panel of five judges. Performers will be penalized and will receive point-deductions if they go over time or present work that exceeds a PG-13 rating. Deductions will also be given to poets who supplement their performances with costumes, props or music. The poets will be armed with only their words, voices and presentation skills as their equipment. The Breaking Ground Poets Slam will be held May 26 from 5 to 8 p.m. Doors will open for seating at 4:30 p.m. Tickets are $5 and can be purchased at the door. Performers will present original works only. For more information on the Breaking Ground Poets, visit their Facebook page. For more information about the slam, call the Dietrich at 570.996.1500.

WAVERLY TWP. - Waverly Township’s wastewater treatment facility upgrade is progressing.

A.H. girls win district track title

West Chester’s Nicole Smith, an Abington Heights graduate, won the 800 meter race at the PSAC Outdoor Track Championships.

College Roundup

By Bill ArsenAult

West Chester’s Nicole Smith just missed the blue ribbon at last year’s PSAC Outdoor Track Championships but the senior from Clarks Summit (Abington Heights) came through with flying colors this year. Smith captured the 800 meter race in Millersville with a time of 2:15.89. She posted a 2:15.75 in the prelims Smith also ran the leadoff leg of the 4x400 which finished eighth in the eighth best time in school history (3:58.56). The Golden Rams finished ninth in the team standings with 39.5 points. Last year, the transfer from Towson State finished second in the 400 meter dash at the league meet. ELLSWORTH WITH CHAMPS – The Shippensburg women’s track team captured its fourth straight PSAC title and sophomore Lauren Ellsworth was a key performer for the Warriors who totaled 151 points. Ellsworth (Lackawanna Trail) finished 5th in the 100 meter dash (12.34) and 7th in the 200 meter dash (25.64) and she ran the second leg on the winning 4x100 relay which posted an NCAA Division II provisional time of 47.10. Ellsworth was also part of the indoor track team that captured the PSAC title. The outdoor title gave the Raiders a triple. They also won the cross country title in the fall. MATSKO WAS BUSY – Indiana junior Krista Matsko (Abington Heights) competed in two individual events and with two relay teams at the PSAC Outdoor Track Championships. Matsko finished 3rd in the 400 meter hurdles (1:02.40)

Comets outlast invaders By CoRy BuRRell Abington Journal Correspon-

CLARKS SUMMIT – It was a classic showcase of playoff pitching, and Abington Heights’ junior Dave Manasek was more than ready for the challenge. “This is probably the best defensive game I’ve seen,” Manasek said. “Our fielders came up big.

SCRANTON – The biggest individual performance was placed right in the middle of an impressive team effort. Abington Heights junior Tessa Barrett outran a decorated opponent, destroying a 28-year-old meet record while helping fuel a comeback that carried the Lady Comets past Hazleton Area to the Class AAA girls championship in the District 2 Track and Field Championships at Memorial Stadium in Scranton. Barrett’s record effort in the 3,200-meter run May 14 helped Abington Heights win the title for the fifth time in seven years. One day earlier, Lakeland captured the Class AA boys championship. Athletes and teams from the area excelled during the two days of district track championships. Barrett and Jessica Kurey led Abington Heights to its title. Gavin O’Donnell and Mark Arzie helped lift Lakeland to its championship. Cassidy Jenkins won a pair of titles while helping the Lakeland girls tie for second in Class AA. Each of the champions qualified for Friday and Saturday’s Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association Championships at Shippensburg University. Barrett, who won a state indoor title at 3000 meters, confirmed her status as a threat in the outdoor 3200 while outrunning Regan Rome, the Dallas junior who finished second in the state in Class AA cross country last fall. Barrett stayed on Rome’s heels for the first 2000 meters then surged into the lead as the sixth of eight laps began. She led the rest of the way to finish in 10:32.78, well below the record of 10:52.24 set by Honesdale’s Renee Robbins in 1985.

Rome finished in 10:37.81. “Having such great competition in our district is what gets me out the door running,” Barrett said. “It’s really great to have them on your heels the whole way or for me to be on their heels.” Rome finished third in the state 3200 last season when 10:38.40 was good enough to take the title. According to milesplit.com, only Unionville’s Courtney Smith has run a faster 3200 than Barrett and Rome this season. When Jenn Burke followed Barrett in, taking 4th place, the combination of the 15 points the two produced in the 3200 put Abington Heights into the team lead to stay. The Lady Comets pulled out the title, 102-93, over Hazleton Area by outscoring the Lady Cougars, 32-18, in the final four events. Barrett came close to another prestigious record earlier in the day, holding off another of her frequent distance track and cross country opponents. Barrett and Honesdale’s Summer Hill each broke five minutes with Barrett’s 4:56.19 coming just 1.15 seconds short of the 1995 record set by state champion Lisa Roder of Wallenpaupack. After winning the 3200, Barrett said she actually felt like she pushed harder in the 1600. She scratched from the 1600 in Shippensburg to concentrate on the 3200. “I actually killed myself in the 1600, then for (3200) I sort of took a step back,” said Barrett, who spent the time between races with her legs propped up in her car in an attempt to drain lactic acid and bounce back fast. “I think it showed that my strength is actually in the distance.” Jessica Kurey also played a big role in the team title.

He finished four seconds behind the winner. Clarke came back to capture the 5,000 meter run in 15:31.69. He beat the runnerup by nearly nine seconds. MECKE IN RELIEF – Sophomore Mason Mecke (Lackawanna Trail) posted a 1-2 record and a save pitching mostly out of the bull pen for the PSU-Berks baseball team. The 6-foot, 200-pound righthander worked in nine games and in 22.1 innings gave up 31 hits and 25 runs, 22 earned. He walked 19 and struck out 12. The Nittany Lions finished 14-24 overall and 7-8 in the North Eastern Athletic Conference. The team, with just two seniors on the roster, was beaten 4-3 by PSU-Harrisburg in the NEAC tourney title game.

in the Regionals. BIG YEAR FOR SAWICKI – Sophomore Kaitlyn Sawicki (Lackawanna Trail) earned Colonial States Athletic Conference honorable mention for her play with Keystone softball team. She also earned the team’s sportsmanship award. The first baseman hit .286 (40-for-140) with seven doubles, three home runs, 21 RBI and 31 runs scored. In the field, she made eight errors on 317 chances (.975). The Giants finished 24-21 on the season, the victories a school record. They were beaten 14-6 by Neumann in the CSAC championship game. PISANCHYN DOES THE JOB – Sophomore Dan Pisanchyn (Abington Heights) spent most of the season as the designated hitter for the Wilkes University baseball team and the 6-foot-3, 200-pounder did what was expected of him – hit the ball. Pisanchyn batted .344 (33for-96) with six doubles, two triples, 20 runs scored and 26 RBI. He also saw some action at first base and handled 20 chances without an error. The Colonels finished 21-15 overall and 9-12 in the Freedom Conference.

Dermott (Abington Heights) started all 31 games for the Keuka baseball team which finished its season with a 1219 record. McDermott, an infielder, was the team’s third leading hitter. He hit .359 (37-for-103) with three doubles, 16 runs scored and 19 RBI. The Storm finished sixth in the North Eastern Athletic Conference with a 6-8 record and wrapped up the season with a doubleheader sweep of Hilbert and won nine of their final 12 games. BRADY HELPED OUT – The Chowan softball team captured the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association regular-season and tournament titles and went on to the NCAA Division II Atlantic Regional in California, Pa. and junior Kayla Brady (Abington Heights) saw action with the Hawks, who finished 26-23 on the season. Brady played in 29 games and started seven and saw action as an infielder. She was mainly used as a pinch runner and a defensive replacement. She batted .125 (2-for-16) with two RBI and 10 runs scored. The Hawks saw their season end with losses to California (13-0) and Lock Haven (10-2) Scranton. Sherman batted in the first and only run for the Invaders in the seventh inning and managed to get to first base as the tying run, but West Scranton would come no closer to tying the game. Abington Heights improved to 9-5 on the season. West Scranton ended the season at 5-9. The seventh-seeded Comets were scheduled to face second-seed North Pocono on the road May 21 in the Class AAA quarterfinals.

FISHING Continued from Page 13A City got, and most of all the exposure our overlooked water got. It really surprised the anglers how big and feisty the fish in Lackawanna River are,” said Gondella. “The water level on Saturday was about as good as it could be, Sunday however, water levels dropped dramatically and fishing was extremely tough on the Tunkhannock Creek. Fish were active both days, but Sunday was a much harder day as an angler.” Plans are in the works for the Second Annual Coaltown Throwdown but Gondella said, “Next year we will be utilizing only the Lackawanna River.

Shane Becker, Bowmanstown, took up fly fishing approximately three years ago, but has been fishing “his whole life,” and was one of the fly fishermen who participated in the competition this weekend. He said, “Most of us fly fishermen tie our own flies, so we’re creating an object that imitates a life form in the water trying to catch a fish…You’re out in nature enjoying it and with the sound of the water, it’s just great…There’s a lot more thought involved in fly fishing, so it’s more of a challenge and I like to be challenged. You’ve really got to fool the fish.” To learn more about Troutlegend, visit troutlegend.com.

Long ball dooms Lady Chiefs By TOM ROBinsOn For The Abington Journal

KINGSLEY – Lakeland was six outs away from advancing in the District 2 Class AA playoffs My 20 when Mountain View broke loose with a six-run inning to instead end the Lady Chiefs’ season. The Lady Eagles did all of their scoring with none out in the bottom of the sixth inning, including the last three runs on a Cassidy Kastawa home run, to rally for a 6-4, homefield victory. Lakeland appeared to be in control early with Alissa Steier striking out the first six batters and eight of the first nine. The Lady Chiefs scored twice in the third inning and added runs in each of the next two innings to open a four-run lead. The Lady Chiefs missed out on potential big innings by having runners thrown out during two of the three

innings in which they scored. In turn, they aided Mountain View’s outburst with two infield miscues against the first batters. “We started off strong,” Lakeland coach Brian Wagner said. “We made a mistake on an error and a popped bunt that we should have caught in the air and some of our baserunning mistakes came back to haunt us. “But they fought and hard and, for the most part, they played well.” Rachel Chrzan and Katie Walsh each had two hits for Lakeland, which went 7-5 to tie for third and finish one game out of the Lackawanna League Division 3 lead during the regular season. Chrzan doubled twice and drove in the last Lakeland run. Walsh twice led off innings with infield singles and came in to score each time. Georgia Verrastro added a solo homer with two out in

the fourth inning. Courtney Parchinski had a pair of sacrifice bunts and scored a run. Steier finished with 10 strikeouts. “In the first three or four innings, we barely could get a bat on the ball,” said Mountain View coach Tom Rudzinski, a former Lakeland coach. “Our girls have been resilient. We’re a good hitting team and our two power hitters came through.” Megan Stenzhorn was held to a single on a bases-loaded blast to the fence down the left-field line to drive in two runs and cut the lead to 4-3. Kastawa followed by sending a ball over the left-field fence for the game-winning homer. Lakeland put two runners on in the seventh inning before Mountain View pitcher Catlin Tague got the final out.

There were butterflies in my stomach as I negotiated the prison parking lot. I hadn’t been to this one before and prisons tend to have very stringent protocols. I parked and found my way inside to the visitor reception area. I told the guards the nature of my business and the name of the inmate I was to meet with. The two men looked at me and then at each other. “She’s not going into General,” one said with a look of concern. “No,” replied the other. “I’ll go find him. We’ll do this in an interview room.” The last time I interviewed a birth father in jail, he was angry and accusatory. But I thought this one might be different. My research at Children & Youth had revealed that this man had been the one to lodge three of the eight reports of suspected abuse regarding his son. The phone call transcriptions showed real concern for baby S., now toddler S., who lived with the birth mother and a series of ever-changing paramours. He had expressed concern also for the new babies, S.’s half-siblings, who came into the family year after year. I braced myself as they led the birth father in and he reached for the phone on the other side of the glass. “Hello,” he said softly. “You Ms. Heine?” “Yes, I am,” I began. “Thank you for agreeing to meet with me.” Here was a man about my age, looking calm, subdued, and like he was listening intently. “I’m here because the state has asked me to write a child profile for your son. You know that he is in foster care and parental rights will most likely be terminated. The profile is a detailed life story used to match him with potential adoptive families. Another purpose is so that, when your son is older, he can read it and find answers a lot of questions he might have.” My interviewee nodded and I continued. “I got his birth records, pediatric records, school records and reports from Children & Youth. What I need from you is more about the family. If you can tell me about your medical history, ethnicity, where you grew up, religion, what school subjects and sports you liked… all this may be helpful to your son one day.” “Okay, sure,” the father said

solemnly. “I heard his mom doesn’t have him anymore. That’s good. Is he in a good place?” I assured him that his son was in a loving foster home with two of his half-siblings, and that he was well. “Can you tell me about your medical history? Are there any diseases or chronic conditions that run in your family?” “I’m fine,” he said. “No problems at all except maybe allergies in the springtime. Beyond that, I don’t know. I didn’t know my parents. They said my mom was a crack addict and a prostitute. I grew up in foster care and different places.” “Do you know where you were born?” I asked. “Wilkes-Barre,” he replied. “Didn’t have much of a childhood. My foster homes mostly were no good. Abused, molested, you know. The whole thing.” “Tell me about your education,” I said. “Where did you go to school? Did you play any sports?” “I never went to a regular school,” he answered softly. “By the time I was old enough they sent me to a state school and hospital, so it was like, institutional, you know?” I nodded that I understood. “But when I was 11, I was doing real well and I was moved up to the residential cottages at Friendship House. When I heard you worked there it brought back real good memories.” He smiled and stared off. “Those were the best years of my life,” he smiled. “They let us play football there. I was on a team. I did real well in history, too. That was my favorite. I lived there for about five years. The staff treated me with respect. They were kind. I did so well they said I was moving to a group home. I thought I’d learn skills for when I had to go out on my own. They said it was a place I’d get training for independence.” “But it was rough. There was no respect and people were mean. When I was 16, I threatened to run away and they told me to go ahead. So then I was on the streets.” “I tried getting a job but I was no good at anything. Some guy on a street corner made me an offer and I started selling weed. Sure wish I hadn’t, but I was hungry.” “How did you meet your son’s mother?” “A friend introduced us. I was in prison at Waymart and she started writing me. When I got out we got a place together. I got a job in a factory but I

Page 15

wasn’t making enough to cover the bills. I kept asking her to get a job but she wasn’t interested, then she got pregnant. I started dealing on the side to keep us afloat and I got busted. A month after my son was born, she was with a new man, and he was mean.” “I know,” I said, “I read the reports.” I knew that when the man I was interviewing was not in jail, he would pay child support. Police reports indicated that the new paramour extorted money from him, stating, “I’m the man of the house now and it’s going to cost you $50 to see your son.” I also knew that the first stepfather of little S. was a violent criminal who wound up in prison on serious charges. The stepfather who came along next was worse, much worse. “I need to ask you about your strengths,” I said. Many times, the parents I interview are stumped by this question. It’s something we need to be able to offer to their offspring. “What is good about you?” He looked up and thought for a moment. “I love my kids. I have two others; they live with their mothers who both let me see them when I’m out.” He paused and went on. “But the thing about me is- put me in a bad situation and I’ll make it worse.” He was done talking about his strengths. That was all I was going to get. “For example, the state let me out last year. They put me in a halfway house. I had no job, no money.” He looked down at the table. “I couldn’t go buy a deodorant at the corner store. So what did I do? I robbed a bank.” “Were you armed?” I asked. “No, nothing like that. I got five years. And I got to tell you, I’m an outsider in or out. The young guys who come in here, I don’t understand their music or the way they talk. I’ve been in one kind of institution or another my whole life.” It was then I understood that he would most likely continue to be. It was all he had ever known. The man who sat before me was nearly the same age as me but suddenly I saw him as the child he had once been. He had never been given a chance. “When S. gets adopted, I’ll never see him again?” My heart sank as I answered him. “That would be up to his adoptive family. You have the right to ask.” I drove away from the prison with a lump in my throat. I mourned this man’s loss of innocence when he was just a precious child born in WilkesBarre 40 years earlier. At home later I cried for the traumatized little boy who no one tried to save. The system has come a long way, I thought, trying to reassure myself. S. and his younger siblings have a chance. Every child deserves a safe and loving home.

Senior fielder sparks Lady Comets By ROBERT TOMKAVAGE rtomkavage@theabingtonjournal.com

Abington JournAl photos/stephAnie wAlkowski

Alex Dequeiroz slides into third base. Her RBI double in the fourth inning sparked Abington Heights’ rally.

S. ABINGTON TWP- When Abington Heights was in desperate need of a clutch hit, senior right fielder Alex Dequeiroz delivered with a RBI double in the bottom of the fourth inning. “That was huge,” Abington Heights head coach John Kelly said. “We couldn’t get anybody on (base) with less than two outs. We finally did and Alex got us going. We got a couple hits right behind her and the bats stated to come alive.” Two first inning errors by Abington Heights allowed Lake-Lehman to gain a 1-0 advantage. “We played a little nervous in the first few innings,” Kelly said. “Our third baseman and pitcher and freshman. This is all new to them, there is a lot of pressure. Once they got into the game and relaxed a little bit, the bats starting coming around and that was the difference.

Lake-Lehman built on their lead in the third inning when Vicki Cadwalader drove in Sarah Stacey. Following Dequeiroz’s double, Alivia Pleyvak tied the game when she blooped a single over third base. With Lake-Lehman threatening the regain the lead with runners on second and third with one out in the top of the fourth, Abington Heights’ pitcher Paige Harris went to work. The freshman induced two straight ground outs and kept the runner at third base on a single before striking out the final batter of the inning. “Paige is very tough,” Kelly said. “When somebody gets on, she buckles down. She stayes very positive and is very seasoned for a freshman.” The Lady Comets broke the game open in the bottom of the fifth inning. The combination of small ball and power produced five runs Freshman second baseman Cassie Toth led off with a double, and after

two straight bunt singles by Kiana Sladicki and Kelsey Sarafinko, Claire Laktos lined a single off pitcher Jordan Hodle’s glove, driving in two runs. The next batter, Dominique Emmett, added an RBI. Then, after Dequeiroz reached base, Casey Wrobel homered over the centerfield wall. According to the junior, she was unsure if it had the distance off the bat. “I was hoping,” she said. “I was holding my breath running to first

(base), then as soon as I saw it (was out), it was just a relief.” Harris slammed the door once more in the top of the sixth. After Kirsten Cope and Miranda Dembowski each singled with one out in the inning, Harris got the next two batters to pop out. Third-seeded Abington Heights (10-4) will host on Wednesday, May 22 at 4:30 p.m.

Casey Wrobel and coach John Kelly celebrate her home run.
