Editor, On Feb. 16, 2011, the Abington Heights School Board passed a budget against the recommendation of its own superintendent, setting district spending for the upcoming fiscal year without yet knowing the extent of expected state and federal cuts to public education funding. As a result of this foolhardy rush to action, students may be faced with unexpected program cuts.

The board has proposed cuts that, among other things, will adversely affect those students who are most in need of the district’s help.

First, the board has proposed eliminating transitional first grade and emotional support classes at the high school.

Second, the board has proposed eliminating computer training at the elementary schools, although tremendous amounts of taxpayer dollars have been put

into our school’s computer labs..

Third, the board has proposed eliminating librarians in the middle and high schools. There are hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars invested in the libraries, but without librarians, who will run the libraries or teach the students how to use them?

These are just some of the plans outlined by the board.

As the district’s educational reputation fades, so will home values. Ultimately, this could lead to an increase in property taxes.

Let the board know that education remains the number one priority of the district. Let the board know that cuts should not come from educational opportunities for the children.

Scott Twp. man faces charges after standoff

ANNUAL ‘OSCAROO’

Eleanor Gwyn-Jones, Mark Massetti and Michaela Moore, co-chair of the Oscar event at Amici

SCOTT TWP. - An argument between two people developed into a nine-hour standoff involving the Lackawanna County S.W.A.T. team and other local law enforcement agencies that resulted in the arrest of Dwayne Deats, 44, Scott Twp. on Sunday morning. Scott Twp. Police were called to a residence at 130 Grzybowski Road at 1:09 a.m. on Feb. 27 for reports of threats.

“We got called there for a man threatening to kill someone with a gun,” said Scott Township Chief James Romano.

The incident started when Deats allegedly began picking on a teenage girl who was at the residence with her mother, Tina Morgan, described by police as Deats’ girlfriend. This allegedly led to an argument.

According to the police report, Deats allegedly threatened to shoot Morgan’s daughter with a handgun.

The 15-year-old girl made a phone call to her father, Scott Morgan, of Dunmore.

Deats allegedly then told the teen to “get her father in the house” so that he could “blow his brains out.” Deats was allegedly intoxicated at the time.

The teen proceeded to her father’s car when he arrived at the Scott Twp. residence.

Scott Morgan contacted the police from his car.

At 2:30 a.m., a S.W.A.T. team began engaging in a series of unsuccessful negotiations at the residence, according to police reports.

Tina Morgan and her 17year-old son both remained in the house. Police contacted Tina Morgan who stated “there were no threats made and they are not coming out of the house,” according to the police report. Deats picked up the phone and said that “there were no threats made.”

When police asked Deats to step outside, he allegedly refused and told them to “go get a warrant,” according to an affidavit.

Police obtained a warrant from Magisterial District Judge John J. Mercuri after Tina Morgan informed them that although she and her son wanted to leave the house, Deats would not let them.

However, when the standoff began to dissolve after 9:30 a.m., Deats’ son told police “that his father was no (sic) stopping him from leaving” in a written statement.

Tina Morgan and her son came out of the house at approximately 9:30 a.m. and Deats followed at about 10 a.m. No weapons were found on Deats. However, officers removed several handguns and long guns from the residence, according to the police report.

Scott Morgan and his daughter remained at the scene, according to Chief Romano. He said the pair was “held by us there in case we needed them, but then they left. They didn’t do anything wrong.”

According to Chief Romano, no one was injured.

Deats is charged with conspiracy and terroristic threats, according to court dockets. He was held for a lack of $40,000 bail, and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for March 7 at 9:45 a.m.

SCRANTON – As spring draws nearer, it’s also time to celebrate Fat Tuesday in Scranton, and why not benefit a great cause while doing so?

The Leadership Lackawanna Class of 2011 will host a Mardi Gras celebration from 6 to 9 p.m. March 8 at Morganz Pub and Eatery, 315 Green Ridge St. Fat Tuesday commonly refers to the practice of the last night of eating richer, fatty foods before the fasting of the Lenten season, which starts on Ash Wednesday.

The event will benefit Renovating Our Future, a collaborative project between Leadership Lackawanna and the Nancy K. Holmes Library in the Green Ridge section of Scranton. Renovating Our Future consists of converting a storage area into a safe and fun “teen zone” at the library, according to a press release.

Construction manager Eric Weinberg, who is in charge of overseeing and coordinating the construction that will be done as part of Renovating Our Future, said the Mardi Gras celebration will feature drink specials and raffles and the band Dashboard Mary will perform. There is no cost to attend, and all adults are welcome.

“As a team, we wanted to do something in the neighborhood of the library and Morganz came to mind quickly for me,” Weinberg said.

Weinberg said he asked Tony Frable Jr. of Morganz Pub and Eatery if the business would be interested in hosting a fundraising event.

“He didn’t hesitate,” Weinberg said. “He said he’d be happy to do something to support our community and the Green Ridge neighborhood of both Scranton and Dunmore.”

Weinberg said that Renovating Our Future is a group project organized by Leadership Lackawanna to impact a positive change at the Nancy

K. Holmes Library and the surrounding Dunmore and Scranton community.

The library, a branch of the Scranton Public Library and a member of the Lackawanna County Library System, had a need to create a safe and fun place for teens to read, learn and socialize. With the support of “Renovating Our Future,” the group is raising funds to construct such a place at the Library.

The group is in the process of converting a second-floor storage area into a “teen zone” to attract youth to the library, said Weinberg.

“In order to do this, the scope of the project includes construction, plumbing and electrical work, as well as furnishing the space for the youth’s use,” Weinberg said.

Weinberg said he is looking forward to the Mardi Gras celebration night, including raising money for a great project and enjoying a fun night of entertainment.

He hopes they can continue to build awareness of the ongoing project at the Holmes Library and, at the same time, continue to raise funds.

“We set a fundraising goal of $12,000, and we are about halfway there,” Weinberg said.

Weinberg said this is the first year for the Mardi Gras celebration event, and the organizers have been getting a great response from community members.

“Leadership Lackawanna is a great program and the class projects leave a lasting impression on our community,” Weinberg said. “I want to return to the Nancy K. Holmes Library in the future with my grandchildren and show them how a team of individuals together made a difference.”

Weinberg noted that a ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at the Holmes Library April 29. For more information regarding the project, contact Holly Kubicki at 570.5741088 or at holmesteenproject@gmail.com.

Future planting in Factoryville

BY BEN FREDA Abington Journal Correspondent

FACTORYVILLE - At the Factoryville Borough Council meeting held Feb. 9, director of community development Liz Ratchford said that she was able to find a grant through the National Fishing and Wildlife Foundation.

“It will allow us to do some planting along Riverside Drive, along the creek, where we had so much flooding behind the properties,” she said. “This grant allows you to do property owner improvements along the streams to plant trees and repairing material to help stop soil erosion during high water events.”

Ratchford is asking for $10,000 to pay for plant and tree material. “I’ve been able to secure five partners,” she said.

The Men’s Civic Club will provide heavy equipment. The Countryside Conservancy will complete the data testing. The Watershed Association for the Tunkhannock Creek and the Scouts will provide volunteers. Keystone College will help, with the science faculty completing educational requirements and also providing volunteers.

“It’s $10,000 to buy plant material, and we can match it with volunteers and donated equipment,” said Ratchford. She made a motion to apply for it. The board agreed.

Ratchford also made an update on the pavilion plan. “As soon as we get our permits and approval from DCNR (Department of Conservation and Natural Resources), we will be able to start construction this spring,” she said.

She also mentioned that the board needs to make rules for the upcoming pavilion, including reservations for parties. She showed the board an ordinance and asked for a motion to advertise it. The board agreed.

In other business, Ratchford offered an annual report for the Factoryville Shade Tree Commission.

“We were able to plant 40 trees last year. We had three grants we were able to do that with. We had 11 volunteer workers last year planting and doing on-going maintenance of the trees in parks.”

She continued, “We’ve mulched and weeded Christy Mathewson Park like we do every spring. We started to focus on rain gardens at the new soccer park. We continued to beautify the memorial garden at the Evergreen Woodlawn Cemetery. The Girl Scouts bought all our annuals so that we will have flowers for the Memorial Day ceremony, so we’ll try to do that again this year.”

The Shade Tree Commission also planted 285 perennial shrubs and grasses and plant 150 daffodils for second graders every year.

It also puts 200 yards of mulch around the borough.

“If you add up all the volunteers and donated material, it’s worth $19,433.35,” said Ratchford. “The equipment donation was $8,997.50 and the skilled labor was $11,000.

The total value of the borough for the Shade Tree Commission last year was $26,312.10.”

“That was a beautiful report,” said Factoryville council member Bill Edwards.

Dalton business aims to cater life’s memorable moments.

BY JOAN MEAD-MATSUI Abington Journal Correspondent

DALTON - The setting at the Inne of the Abingtons in Dalton is best described as peaceful country, according to owner and president John Antolick. Whether clients choose to have a wedding or party indoors in the Ballroom, Ivy or Fireside Rooms or outside in the Garden Pavilion, Antilock said he and his staff are dedicated to “catering life’s memorable moments.”

“We’re still a family-owned business and our niche is family events,” said Antolick.

The Inne has been in the Antolick family since Antilock’s parents purchased the business, formerly known as Palumbo’s, in 1990. Antolick bought the business from his parents in 1999, and today said his wedding and special events business blossomed to include banquets, birthday, anniversary and graduation parties, bridal and baby showers and brunches held throughout the year. Easter and Mother’s Day brunches are also on the calendar for 2011 at $15.95 per person, from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., he added.

In 2010, Antolick said he remodeled the entire front of the building, including the front hall, ballrooms, bathrooms and installed walls and carpeting.

Antolick said, “It has always been a very pretty building and people have come in to see what we’ve done with it and the money we’ve spent on it. A lot of

Inne of the Abingtons’ Chef Greg Laughner prepares all of the meals on premise on the day of the event.

the brides that booked two years ago that are coming back to have their wedding now, their jaws kind of drop when they see what we’ve done here.”

His 2011 calendar includes a wedding every weekend, and Antolick estimated he hosts approximately 150 weddings each year at the Inne of the Abingtons.

This time of the year is busy for Antilock and his staff, which includes his wife Jessica; weddings and events planner Lorie Schneider; wedding coordinator Stacey Madden and Chef Greg Laughner.

“We meet with a lot of people at this time of the year who have just got engaged and are planning their weddings,”Antolick said. “I don’t go home typically until everyone goes home.”

“We designed our (wedding) packages in such a way that everything is pretty much included, including the meal, bar, toast, cake, linens, centerpieces and hors d’oeuvres,” said Antolick. “Everything is made fresh on the premises the day of the event and we’re always looking for new ideas including suggestions from clients.”

Although a sit-down buffet may still be the most popular choice, the Inne of the Abingtons also offers a nomadic package with stations set up around the perimeter of the room, which Antolick said allows guests to flow back and forth.

If Antolick doesn’t have a room large enough for the group, he also offers offpremise catering services.

“By all means, if a customer wants to customize a wedding package, we do that all the time,” said Antolick.

Customizing a wedding package could also mean throwing a wedding with a theme or a seasonal flair.

“Everybody has a dream for a particular type of wedding. Beach and baseball theme weddings are very popular but the Inne of the Abingtons had a Halloweenthemed wedding with a blow-up Frankenstein. The couple made it more like a costume party with fake cobwebs, an inflatable Frankenstein and smoke machines,” said Antolick.

The Inne of the Abingtons is located one mile west of I-81 at exit 199 on Route 524 or two miles east of the intersection of Routes 407 and 524 (Lackawanna State Park).

Cigna donates $500 to Griffin Pond

BY ANTONIA CASTRO Abington Journal Correspondent

CLARKS SUMMIT - On Feb. 15, Cigna employees in Moosic presented Griffin Pond Animal Shelter in Clarks Summit with a check for $500 as part of their Cigna Community Caring Program.

Cigna is a global healthcare company with a mission to help the people it serves improve their health, well-being,

and sense of security.

The community service project, which took place in September, was a oneday project with about six employees involved. The group walked a dozen dogs while the shelter took photographs for its website. The Cigna employees also completed yard work at the shelter, which consisted of cleaning up after the animals, raking and weeding.

The Griffin Pond Animal Shelter was established as the Humane Society of Lackawanna County in 1938 to provide shelter for homeless, unwanted, and abused animals. Each year the shelter receives about 7,000 animals.

“Public funding is the only way the shelter can ABINGTON JOURNAL/ ANTONIA CASTRO keep its doors open,” said Janet Garvey, adult and From left are Cigna employees Stacey Frantz, Jason Loftus, Janet Garvey, Griffin Pond Animal Shelter; and Cigna employees Danae youth coordinator at the Martin, Lea Anna Tonkin and Carolyn Augustyn. shelter.

The event was Mayor Harry Kelly at the reception. held on St. David’s Day, observed March 1. It dates back to 1120 when St. David or Dewi Sant, the patron saint of the Welsh people, was canonized by Pope Callactus the Second. A reception was held at the borough building, featuring Welsh music and Welsh cookies made by Mariellen and Brian Kaeb. According to Warren Watkins, who was in attendance, the symbolism behind the leek, shown above right, is that its strong scent would deter unfriendly people. “The leek has always been representative of the Welsh people,” he said.

The group has already inspired one area resident. Kelly joined the competition after hearing about it during the group’s first weigh-in.

All weigh-ins will take place at the Waverly Deli, located at 705 Clinton St., Waverly.

S. ABINGTON TWP. – South Abington Township will purchase 67 acres of land that will act as “green area” – or recreational area – as a result of a taxpayer request in 2005 for such an acquisition.

According to township supervisors who approved the contract at their Feb. 28 meeting, tax payers have been paying an extra one mil of tax per year to benefit the fund since the Board of Supervisors passed the motion in 2007. This was requested by tax payers as a referendum that was placed on voting ballots in 2005.

Township Supervisor David O’Neill said one mil tax on an average property is about $30 per year. The fund has now grown large enough to purchase the land outright.

The township is buying the land, which runs on the northern side of Waverly Road, for $3,100 an acre from James and Cathy Stone. The land was appraised at $3,500 an acre.

“The land will act as recreational area for the taxpayers of South Abington Township,”

O’Neill said. “This is a great acquisition that was made possible at the request of South Abington Township residents.”

The board discussed the Regional Act 537 Plan being prepared for the three municipalities that discharge to the Abington Regional Wastewater Authority Treatment Plant. The plan is being prepared as a component of a Corrective Action Plan approved by Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources to eliminate bypasses of sewage to Leggetts Creek during high-flow events.

The Regional Act 537 Plan will also address unfunded federal mandates which dictate that ARWA reconstruct its plant to reduce nitrate discharges that eventually reach the Chesapeake Bay. These renovations will reflect in increased sewer billings paid by residents of South Abington Township, Clarks Summit Borough, and Clarks Green Borough.

The Board noted that it has requested the Joint Sewer Authority Board of Directors to do everything in its power to make costs manageable for ratepayers.

The Board of Supervisors will

meet with members of the ARWA Board in the upcoming weeks to discuss cost-saving ideas.

The board also heard from John Cuck of Abington Little League, who made a presentation requesting funds to benefit the Ackerly Field Complex Cuck said the complex was purchased in 1998 for $330,000 and the five fields were constructed for $380,000. More than $440,000 remains on the original $710,000 mortgage, which is held by the Abington Little League. The complex is completely maintained by volunteers, Cuck said.

Cuck was seeking any funds that South Abington Township might be able to spare for this year or while working on next year’s budget. He said the registration fee for players is $85, although it costs about $147 per player to run the league. The extra money is made up through fundraisers and concession stand revenue.

The Board of Supervisors agreed to discuss contributing to the Abington Little League when working on next year’s budget.

Board member Bill Montgomery, who was temporarily filling in for President Bill Salva, who arrived later, suggested to put a notice on the board for Dalton citizens interesting in donating money to the Abington Memorial Post. He suggested the board contribute $250.

“I would entertain a motion that we contribute $250,” he said. “We’ll work out the paperwork later.” The board agreed.

Also at the meeting, Holzman read aloud from a letter, regarding a highway project. The letter requested that the cement walls on the Route 6 bridge over Route 632, or Main Street, be repaired.

“I was pleased to see that we did finally get a letter from Citgo, saying they did some action,” said Salva. “The letter is dated Feb. 3, so it is only seven days old.

“I had very little feeling in my legs and feet that I couldn’t even drive. After treatment at the Neuropathy Center I can not only drive again but enjoy life like I used to… without pain.”

I had neuropathy in my legs and had very little feeling to the point that I couldn’t even drive my car. I suffered for about three years. I couldn’t stand very long or do many of the regular activities that I loved to do with my wife. I found that I sat around a lot.

I wanted so badly to get my life back to the way I remembered it so when I saw the ad in the paper for the Neuropathy Center I made an appointment right away.

After meeting with the professional staff at the Neuropathy Center I knew that there was hope for me.

After just my second treatment I felt life in my legs again. I couldn’t believe it!

The Neuropathy Center has changed my life in so many ways.

My experience has been terrific! Now my wife Betty and I can continue to enjoy our active life doing the things we love including Polka dancing!!

I would highly recommend anyone who is suffering from Neuropathy pain to make an appointment today. Their caring staff were never to busy to answer any & all of my questions…in fact we always look forward to our visit.

CLARKS SUMMIT – The word community often conjures images of not only those living in the same area, but those who are willing to help out their fellow neighbors.

One Clarks Summit family facing an extreme hardship is finding more support in their local community than they ever thought possible.

Sean and Kim O’Donnell have a little girl, Kaidence, who is about 16 months old.

Kaidence was diagnosed with leukemia in December 2009.

When Northeastern Education Intermediate Unit 19 learned of the O’Donnell family’s news, the organization decided to step in to help with treatment costs.

NEIU 19 decided to run a bracelet sale, with all proceeds benefiting the family.

Joanne Esterline, early intervention service coordinator for NEIU, said the idea for the fundraiser was brought to the organization’s attention by the ConAgra Foundation for Hope, who also holds bracelet sales for families dealing with endometrial and ovarian cancer.

Because Kim O’Donnell is a speech therapist with the NEIU 19 program, Esterline said the group was heavily impacted. “We’re a very tight group, we really are a family,” Esterline said. “Just knowing that we can give them a little bit of peace of mind just makes us feel all the better.”

Esterline said that bracelets are being placed every couple of weeks. NEIU 19 has 20 packets out in the community, including businesses such as Kelly’s in Scranton and Lavender Goose in Peckville. The businesses also display a poster telling Kaidence’s story.

Bracelets can also be purchased by contacting NEIU 19.

“We’re extremely overtaken by the generosity of people – we’ve just been blown away by it,” Sean O’Donnell said.

“We’re blessed. It’s been really neat to see people and how the Lord just takes care of us.”

For more information on the sale or how to contribute, call NEIU at 570.876.9200.

Mandy Colombo, and her two friends, Bobbi Benson, and Caroline DelSole recently participated in the 4th Annual Teens For Jeans. All three girls are members of the 8th grade class at the Abington Heights Middle School.

The girls set-up collection bins at the Abington Heights Middle School and collected 50 pairs of jeans for homeless teens. They then delivered donations to Viewmont Mall’s Aeropostale where they will be distributed to local shelters. The girls said they would like to thank all students and teachers who participated.

Teens for Jeans is a national campaign that empowers teenagers across the country to donate jeans to homeless youth. Spearheaded by DoSomething.org and Aero, this program will surpass 1 million jeans donated to homeless over the past four years. Join the campaign at TeensforJeans.com.

School nurse Marguerite Kranick with student Connor Ocweija.

“There’s an ancient Chinese proverb where they say, ‘I see and I understand, but I do and I remember.’ So we just figured if they did it they would understand it so much better…”

Lisofsky said the idea came about after watching an interactive video tour of Ellis Island at http://teacher.scholastic.com/activities/ immigration/tour/stop8.htm Nine-year-old Will Smith said, while waiting in the medical examination portion of the tour, that immigrants are people who leave their country to go to another country. Third-grade teacher Menichiello said that if an immigrant did not pass the medical examination, an “X” was placed on his or her back and the person was sent to the hospital.

Laila Gillen, 9, who was placed in the “hospital” portion of the tour said that being in the quarantined area meant you were separated from your family.

Lisofsky was in charge of the money exchange portion of the day. As students approached her where she sat at a desk with fake money in front of her, she asked if they had $20.

According to Lisofsky, immigrants had to show that

they had $20 to get into Ellis Island. If a family did not have the money, they had to return to their country of origin.

Mia Barahona, with the alias of 20-year-old Kelsie O’Donell from Ireland, did not have enough money to gain entry to America. Barahona said she was sad about being turned away. “You came all this way and then you have to go home.”

Meanwhile outside of the money exchange room, third-grade teacher Seyer passed out money to those who needed it to gain access.

Newton Ransom Elementary School Principal Bob Bugno said he thinks they did a wonderful job. “…I’m very impressed.

BY T’SHAIYA STEPHENSON

Miss Lisofsky is a first-year teacher and from what the others told me, she really drove this process. Giving the kids a real feel for what it was like in a new country at a time when they knew no one, they knew very little and their prospects were not really clear about what the rest of their life would be like… I think it’s a great way for them to feel, not read about or see in a video, but feel what families went through and understand how complicated the process was.”

Bugno said the teachers got together often to put the program together and put in a lot of time, effort and planning. “I’m very proud of them.”

Amelia Bedelia visits Lackawanna Trail Although the weather was frigid outside, “Amelia Bedelia” warmed the second graders at Lackawanna Trail Elementary Center with laughter. As a culmination of their study of idioms and author Peggy Parish, the students were treated to a visit from book character Amelia Bedelia.

Dressed as the character, complete with her black dress, white apron and hat with flowers, Cindy Reynolds, retired elementary teacher from Mountain View, not only entertained, but shared reading as a fun activity.

Amelia Bedelia is a book character who takes language literally. There are books in a series about her antics.

Reynolds-as-Bedelia told students that she had received a phone call that morning from their principal, Mr. Jeff Gregory, asking her to substitute for the day. She then read the book “Teach Us, Amelia Bedelia” while she engaged the second graders with her antics, beginning with the first thing on the list, call the roll. They laughed, cheered and tried to clear her confusion.

Using the series of books as her guide and taking the idioms literally, the maid Amelia Bedelia continued by working through the list of chores she had been given by her boss, Mrs. Rogers. Engaging the group of children, she had them removing spots from a sundress with scissors, putting bulbs in pots, changing the sheets and towels, separating the eggs and running the iron over the tablecloth. Their cheers of “encore” as she finished were witness to how much they enjoyed her visit.

Book character Amelia Bedelia entertained the second graders at Lackawanna Trail Elementary Center with her literal interpretations of idioms. Here she shows off her “dressed chicken” as the children joyfully looked on.

CLARKS SUMMIT - Seven students from Abington Heights Middle School, 1555 Newton-Ransom Blvd., know what counts: math.

Kevin Hu, Ethan Ross, Ben Oon and Dalton Wu comprise a team for Mathcounts, a national middle school competition for children in grades sixth, seventh and eighth. Neel Mehta, Anthony Horvath and Sukanya Roy compete as individuals.

The students recently competed in the Northeast Chapter Mathcounts Competition.

The Mathcounts team from Abington Heights Middle School took first place at the competition, solidifying their spot as a team at the States portion in Harrisburg on March 18 and 19. The team also made it to the states portion last year.

The schools in the Northeast Chapter are Delaware Valley Middle School, Marian Catholic Elementary School, Abington Heights Middle School, Dingman Delaware Middle School, Lakeland Junior/Senior High School, Scott Elementary School, Mountain View Elementary School, Mountain View Junior/Senior High School, North Pocono Middle School, TRACC Home School, Tunkhannock Area Middle School and Western Wayne Middle School.

Bonnie Xiong, coach for the team, formed the Mathcounts

Club a year ago. Xiong is a professor in the math department at The University of Scranton who runs the club once a week throughout the school year. The club, also called a workshop, consists of practicing math problems.

Xiong said in the competition there were two rounds: the individual round and the countdown round. For the individual round, Roy took first, Oon took second, Wu took third and Hu took fifth. In the countdown portion, two children compete against each other for a spot.

Hu took first place for the countdown round while Roy took second, Oon took third and Wu fourth place.

Xiong will travel with the children to the state competition. “As a team, we did a pretty good job… I think learning is the most important thing here.”

Xiong said everyone has been improving.

Shu Qiu, Dalton Community Library Director, has two children involved with the Mathcounts team, Penn and Dalton Wu. She said when she asked her two sons, who are in fifth and seventh grade, respectively, what they thought about Mathcounts, one answered “fun” and the other one answered “pretty fun.”

“To my surprise they did this well,” said Qiu. “This is really more than what I expected we could achieve by participating.”

CLARKS SUMMIT - Approximately 60 Newton Ransom Elementary School third-grade students took a trip in time Feb. 28. Some traveled from Italy, some Spain; several wore names tags listing their homeland as Ireland. They crowded into a variety of classrooms at the school. No matter which country they hailed from, they had one destination in mind: America.

The students, each given a fake identity, a pre-determined amount of money and a backstory, traveled throughout seven stations.

Some traveled alone, others were paired into families.

The students were reenacting what it was like when immigrants came to America via Ellis Island.

The activity was done in conjunction with their curriculum, according to Lori Carroll, a learning-support teacher at the school.

“They’ve been working on the unit for two months now.

We were trying to get them to have some type of simulation so that they could feel like they were going through it. We showed them all videos, and we read stories, but we wanted them to actually be able go through it…”

Third-grade teacher Lynn Lisofsky, who developed the idea, along with other teachers, including Chrissy McAndrew, Mary Ann Menichiello and Gina Seyer, said that after teaching the students about it they wanted the students to actually go through the process of Ellis Island. Lisofsky said

this borough and we don’t have a key to that building or a Knox Box key or access to that building, our standard protocol is to have the Comm. center call the business owner,” said Chief Hoinowski. “If the business owner is out of town per se and they didn’t give Comm. center or anybody else another key holder to that building… Our next issue is (to decide) do we see a hazard, and if we see a hazard we’re going to tell the cops we’re going to take the door off...”

Borough councilperson Herman Johnson mentioned the possibility of adding a grandfathered section to the ordinance or a part that determines if preexisting businesses will need a Knox Box or if it will begin with new business opening in the borough.

Council Vice President Roy Davis said he can see the positive aspects of Knox Boxes, but that the choice should be left up to the business owner. “If we encourage or promoted the voluntary aspect, that would be a plus, to see how our business community reacted to that…”

The possibility of implementing a street-parking ban on Bedford Street was also discussed at the Feb. 22 meeting. As the proposed ordinance stands, the ban would feature no-street parking on the residential side of the street, and no parking from the corner of West Grove Street to 20 feet past the fire hydrant.

Because the fire station is located at Bedford Street, Hoinowski said no parking on the right side of the 400 block of Bedford would be optimal for the company and the usage of fire engines.

Johnson brought up the issue of burn permits to council members and those in attendance.

Currently, a burn permit can be obtained at no charge through the fire department, according

ABINGTON JOURNAL/T’SHAIYA STEPHENSON

The Knox Box key, shown above with the red lanyard, is located in every piece of fire apparatus at the Chinchilla Hose company. to an interview with Johnson following the meeting. The permits are valid for one year.

Johnson said he wants the permits to be available at the borough building, where they are available to the public five days a week.

Hoinowski said that in 2010 there were 320 burn permits issued and the majority of items being burned includes yard debris. Davis said if burn permits are a borough ordinance, the borough should be in charge of enforcing them.

Council person Patrick Williams brought up the borough ordinance that houses must be numbered and pointed out that there are houses in the borough that are not numbered. Davis suggested the borough approach the post office about obtaining a list of houses that are not numbered, and send a copy of the ordinance to those houses.

Also discussed at the meeting was the possibility of reevaluating providers for police pension.

Three years ago, council passed a resolution stating that every three years it would evaluate providers of police pension, according to Borough Manager Virginia Kehoe in a Feb. 25, interview. The Police Pension Board currently has the final say, according to Kehoe, but the resolution stated that the borough council would be in charge of the decision. The Pension Board is equally represented by police and council members.

The topic will be discussed further at the next meeting, tonight, March 2, at 7 p.m.

At the March 2, Clarks Summit Borough meeting, council members will discuss the possibility of adopting a Knox Box ordinance. Nine out of 40 municipalities in Lackawanna County have adopted a Knox Box ordinance, according to Chinchilla Hose Company Assistant Fire Chief Sean Connolly.

A Knox Box is a locked box outside of a structure that contains keys to the building. “For the Knox Box to be opened, the Lackawanna County 911 system has to enter a code that releases the Knox box in the fire apparatus,” said Connolly.

South Abington Township adopted a Knox Box ordinance Jan. 22, 2001. South Abington Township Manager David O’Neill said the ordinance was approved upon the request of the Chinchilla Hose Company.

Connolly said the fire department closely followed Dickson City’s Knox Box ordinance when it was modeled. In South Abington Township, Knox Boxes are required for businesses that have an automatic fire alarm system or a fire sprinkler system, according to the ordinance.

In each piece of fire equipment there is one box. Connolly said the fire department has the key to open any box, but the only way to gain access to the key is through the Lackawanna County Communication Center.

“Everything is recorded and logged in when the Knox Box is opened for a business, for security purposes for the department and also for the business open,” said Connolly.

“It keeps a log every time the key is taken out of the box for a fire department.”

According to Connolly, a Knox Box is required on the face of the building within visible distance for the fire department to make access.

Currently there are approximately 40 Knox Boxes in South Abington Township.

“The Knox Box is installed to the business. It’s up to the property owner to order the Knox Box,” said Connolly.

He estimated that depending upon which Knox Box model is purchased, the box plus installation would cost approximately $300.

Every time that the fire department is dispatched to a business, they request the release of the Knox Box. “That way when we arrive, we’re ready to go open up the Knox Box and make entry in the event there is a fire,” said Connolly.

All though the boxes are located outside of the building and hold the keys to the building, Connolly said they are designed to be tamper-proof.

“It’s a very secure system.” Connolly said Knox Boxes are quick and effective and save time for the fire department. “I think it’s something all municipalities should look into.”

In the new movie "Rango", what type of creature is Johnny Depp’s character?

As you are reading this, there is just one week to go until the opening night of “Frankenstein,” and boy, the excitement is building.

I can hardly wait to see the final product. It always amazes me to see how theater productions come together. Not only have the actors, stage managers and director been busy preparing for the show, but the crew has been putting in extra long hours as well.

Sandy Vieczorek, Sarah Henn, Alice Edwards and Millie Ryczak have been creating the most spectacular costumes for the production. Bob Kulow and Laurel Radzieski have been tailoring the perfect sound and lighting designs for the play, respectively.

Jerry Jenkins and many volunteers have been working on the set.

Through all their hard work and leadership, all the pieces of this project will fall into place during this final week of rehearsals.

Join us at the Dietrich for our community-based production of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” on March 9, 11 and 12 at 7 p.m. or March 13, at 3 p.m. Tickets are $10 each and can be purchased at the theater’s ticket booth or by calling 570.996.1500. I am delighted that Jennifer Jenkins’s stage adaptation is very true to Shelley’s book, and I look forward to observing the audience’s reaction as this novel is brought to life on the Dietrich stage.

Speaking of the novel, we held our final Wyoming County Reads discussion of “Frankenstein” at the Tunkhannock Public Library last week.

Bill Chapla did a great job of guiding us through a discussion on the feminist aspects of the novel, and we also shared our views on the balance between nature and technology. As I anticipated, there were a variety of opinions shared, which is exactly why “Frankenstein” is such an enduring novel.

The topics in her book are as relevant today, or even more so, than when Mary Shelly wrote it in the early 1800s. We would like to thank Bill Chapla and Dr. Marnie Hiester for leading this year’s discussions.

Dietrich brings Frankenstein to life

LIBRARY NEWS

BY MARY ANN MCGRATH

Abington Community Library patrons looking for something out of the ordinary for a “good read” might want to browse the new Large Print fiction and check out one of the following: “Up from the Blue” by Susan Henderson. Circumstances force Tillie Harris to reach out to her estranged father for help, a choice that means facing the painful memories she’s been running from since she was a little girl and reliving 1975, the year that changed everything when her mother disappeared.

“The False Friend” by Myla Goldberg. For 20 years, Celia has blocked out the actual events of the day her best friend Djuna disappeared. Everyone assumed Djuna had been abducted while walking home from school along a forbidden road, but Celia’s subconscious knows the truth behind the lie she told that day. She returns to her hometown to confess, but no one believes her, not even her boyfriend Huck.

“Dead Spy Running” by Jon Stock. From a bomb threat at the London Marathon to a CIA black site in Poland and on to India, where a spectacular assassination plot threatens to throw world politics into chaos, this spy novel from a new thriller writer sets a breakneck pace.

“Nashville Chrome” by Rick Bass. In 1959, Maxine, Bonnie and Jim Ed Brown recorded songs that topped country and pop charts, rivaled only by their longtime friend, Elvis Presley, but the Browns’ celebrity couldn’t survive a changing world, and the bonds of family began to fray along with their fame. It is Maxine, now ailing and alone, who hungers for just one more chance to secure her legacy.

“Love, Charleston” by Beth Webb Hart. Saint Michael’s new rector may be the answer to Anne Brumley’s prayers, an answer for which she has been waiting ever since she heard the words “stay and wait” coming from the bell tower of the old Charleston church all those years ago. Roy Summerall can’t believe he has been called to pastor a congregation in highbrow Charleston, but whatever his personal feelings, he will do his utmost to minister to the flock.

Coming later this month: Personal finance programs for all ages, from preschoolers through adults. Information about the whole series and how to register will soon be available.

From now through April 11, the library system is sponsoring “On the Same Page in Lackawanna County” with a series of discussions at local libraries of the featured book, “The Surgeon,” by Tess Gerritsen. Free paperback copies of the book are available in limited numbers. Inquire at the Circulation Desk.

BY DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@theabingtonjournal.com

TUNKHANNOCK- This month, a number of Wyoming County residents have become familiar with Mary Shelley’s classic novel “Frankenstein,” and starting next Wednesday, the Dietrich Theater will be bringing the creature to life.

The Dietrich Theater will present the play from March 9 to 13 as part of Wyoming County Reads, a program sponsored by the Wyoming County Cultural Center and the Tunkhannock Public Library.

Each year, the two groups encourage everyone in the community to read the same book and offer book group discussions at the Tunkhannock Public Library.

Three years ago, when the book chosen was Oscar Wilde’s “Our Town,” another element was added to Wyoming County Reads: a live performance of the work.

The new component was such a hit that the following year, the theater hosted a second production, this time of John Steinbeck’s “Grapes of Wrath.”

“The format worked so well that we wanted to do it again, but we didn’t know what to do, and then someone said, ‘How about ‘Frankenstein’?” And that’s all it took,” said “Frankenstein” director Jennifer Jenkins.

First published in 1818, the play tells the story of the scientist Victor Frankenstein, who reanimates a dead body then feels guilt for creating such a thing.

When the Frankenstein monster realizes how he came to be and is rejected by mankind, he

seeks revenge on his creator’s family to avenge his own sorrow.

Although there are a number of theatrical versions available, Jenkins decided to adapt the book herself, after noticing a number of differences between the book and some of the scripts.

“The concept is to stay as close to the book as possible, and this adaptation of the play for the stage is very close to the book,” said Jenkins.

Jenkins said one of the main differences between the book and some of the scripts she read is the way the Frankenstein monster is represented.

While most people are probably familiar with the Boris Karloff interpretation from the film version of “Frankenstein,” which depicts the monster as slow and dumb, the book paints a much different picture of the iconic character.

“The monster in the movie is this big, lumbering figure, and that’s not at all how Mary Shelley wrote it. In the book, he’s very fast, and intelligent, and he picks things up very quickly,” said Jenkins.

The variation is one that Jenkins said surprised a lot of people, including her cast, which is comprised of Debbie Buck, Caleb Carlin, Tim Danielson, Bronwyn Frazier, Owen Frazier, Jericho Hendershot, Molly

Henn, Christopher Mirabelli, Rich Ryczak, Emily Sandercock, Doreen Schottman, David Swanson, John Tillman and Matt Wallikas.

Jenkins assembled the cast through auditions, and the group has been rehearsing since early February.

“Rehearsals have been going great. I have a great cast, and they’ve been a lot of fun,” said Jenkins.

Jenkins said now the cast is anxious to perform the play in

front of a live audience.

Performances are scheduled for Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, March 9, 11 and 12, at 7 p.m. and March 13, at 3 p.m.

A performance scheduled for March 10, at 10 a.m. is already sold out.

Tickets are $10 and can be purchased by calling 570.996.1500 or by visiting the Dietrich Theater’s ticket booth at 60 East Tioga St., Tunkhannock.

Sharing a journey to harmony

BY JOAN MEAD-MATSUI Abington Journal Correspondent

WAVERLY - Peter Amato’s journey from recovery to selfdiscovery has been ongoing for more than 16 years. He is an ordained lay monk, a certified yoga instructor, owner of Inner Harmony Wellness Centers, a seasoned traveler, a Ph.D. candidate in mind-body medicine, a meditation master, a psychotherapist with 16 years of sobriety to his credit and the author of “Soul Silence.”

“Soul Silence” was released in November 2010. “My book is part life story and part how to evolve your life journey to move through the seven levels of human consciousness, to move beyond the mind, intellect and ego and have a direct experience of your heart, your, spirit and your soul,” said Amato, who opened the first location of the

Inner Harmony Wellness Centers in May 1997.

The facility combined conventional medicine with complementary and alternative therapies offering “a holistic, patient-centered health and wellness care including cancer care, cardiovascular health, eating disorders, smoking cessation, weight loss and stress management.”

He currently owns and operates Inner Harmony Wellness Centers in St. Martin, which includes the Inner Harmony Yoga Institute and Inner Harmony Yoga Studio; the Center for Integrative Medicine at Inner Harmony, PC, located on the campus of Mercy Hospital in Scranton; the Inner Harmony Yoga Studio at Uno Fitness on Olive Street in Scranton. He is also a partner in the Integrative Life Center in Nashville, an

outpatient integrative health model, which merges various forms of health, healing and recovery. When Peter Amato he is not in St. Martin, he resides in Waverly.

“The journey I teach is to experience our higher self through meditation and yoga, which has been alive for over 10,000 years,” said Amato. “The book offers stress reduction practices for quieting the mind as well as powerful spiritual exercises to take ones awareness to the timeless state of being.

“Anyone searching for a direct experience of a higher power will find it in ‘Soul Silence.’

Twelve steps offer a great guide, but no path or manual. This was why HCI Communications

asked me to write the book.

They saw a void in the traditional system,” added Amato.

“The 12-steps of Alcoholics Anonymous saved my life.

They are a guide to move beyond the hooks of the mind and ego, help you become clean and sober, and help you to grow up and come home to a higher self within without attachment.”

In 2004, Amato “planted the seed” that would grow the hundreds of pages of notes, ideas and presentations he had given worldwide into “Soul Silence.”

He said, “I would say it took five to 10 years for the book to percolate, develop a life of its own and become a manuscript.”

Amato has traveled and studied meditation and stress reduction with world leaders and pioneers in their respective fieldsand was ordained as a lay monk under Nobel Peace Prize

Zen Buddhist monk author and poet Thich Nhat Hanh in the Mahayana tradition of Buddhism. He is also certified in primordial sound meditation and studied directly with Deepak Chopra.

“Soul Silence” has been an opportunity for Amato to share his experience as what he referred to as “a living laboratory of the unfolding journey of human consciousness.”

“At the Wellness Center, I work in guiding people in lifestyle and wellness coaching, offering customized organic nutrition programs and biofeedback for individuals,” said Amato. “At some point in the near future, we will be offering our 200- and 500-hour teacher training certification in Scranton as well. Inner Harmony yoga is rooted in hatha, raja and bhakti yoga. Therefore, it is classic

yoga rooted in an inward focus and a meditative awareness. .”

While the title Amato originally assigned to his manuscript was “The Only Way Out Is In,” the publishers decided to call it “Soul Silence.”

“No problem. I like it,” said Amato.

His book is available at Anthology Bookstore, Possibilities Bookstore in South Scranton, Inner Harmony Wellness Center at Mercy Hospital and online at Amazon.com or www.innerharmonywellness.com/meet-peter Amato said he does see private clients regarding Lifestyle and Wellness Coaching, Customized Nutrition Programs, and private meditation and yoga sessions at the Wellness Center from June through November.

Dedication key for pianist

BY JOAN MEAD-MATSUI Abington Journal Correspondent

’La festa, Scranton,’ will be on display at Cameraworks.

Gallery owners exhibit their work This Friday, as part of first Friday in Scranton, artists Rolfe Ross and Bernie Andreoli will be hosting a showing of their work at their gallery Camerawork.

The gallery is dedicated to hosting exhibitions of fine photography made by local photographers. It was originally started by Ross, Michael Poster and Ivana Pavelka, but when Poster left the gallery, they brought in Andreoli.

The gallery does show other artists’ work. When the three attempted to line up shows for March, Ross and Andreoli realized they both had work never shown before, so they decided to show those photographs.

The artists, who were both members of the Northeast Photography Club, met 15 years ago and have been enjoying photographic adventures together since.

Ross began taking pictures in high school when he was 16, but didn’t get serious about it until 25 years ago when he took a few workshops. Although

he photographs people now, Ross originally started off making photos of nature and wildlife.

Andreoli works on wedding photography, which just began as a hobby for him 20 years ago.

Though the gallery is a business in itself, the two men work at other occupations as well. Andreoli is an electrical engineer with a few businesses and Ross is a construction manager.

No matter how they got started, both men said they love photography and traveling with other people with that purpose in mind.

The images in this show are some of the products of their adventures together, they said. Everything and everyone at any time is subject as they roam the streets making their art.

The gallery is in the recently renovated Casey Laundry building and is downstairs, below the Marquis Gallery located at 515 Center St., Scranton.

The show is free for the month with the same hours as the Marquis, but with opening night hours set for 6 to 8:30 p.m.

NEWTON TWP. - Show 11-year-old Christopher Langan a piano, and chances are he will play a tune.

Aerosmith is one of his favorite rock bands and “The Piano Man” by Billy Joel is one of his favorite songs, but he also performs jazz, Christmas music and some more romantic pieces.

Langan, a resident of Newton Township and a fifth grade student at Abington Heights Middle School, has tickled the ivories and entertained crowds in restaurants and in the lobby of the Grand Floridian in Disney World while on a family vacation. He is no stranger to competition.

“I’ve done this at my house. I’ve done this at my piano lesson. I can do this…

Here’s the moment I’ve been waiting for… It’s now or never. I just have to play,” said Langan, who will use his own words, or mantra, to calm his nerves and remain upbeat for his upcoming performance at Carnegie Hall in New York in April. Dressed in a tuxedo, he will perform George Gershwin’s “Jazz Prelude No. 1.”

He selected Gershwin’ s piece when the one he had originally selected, “A Sailor’s Song,” didn’t fit the bill.

Langan has practiced

countless hours, including piano lessons with Yvonne Alling of Blakely, resulting in a list of accomplishments since he began playing four years ago.

According to Alling, “Approximately 250 students were involved in the competition sponsored by the Northeastern Pennsylvania Music Teachers Association.

Forty-two students were selected from these, representing students from teachers in the northeastern sixth of the state of Pennsylvania.

She added, “Since transferring to my studio in January of 2010, Christopher has had to entirely change his technical approach to the piano and increase the amount of repertoire he studies at any one time by tenfold. He is an ambitious student who aggressively and enthusiastically tackles any challenge I can find for him. Christopher chose the Gershwin “Jazz Prelude No. 1” for its upbeat rhythms and bursts of technical brilliance. The piece is easily high school-level repertoire, but is also performed by professionals due to its crowd-pleasing characteristics.”

The audition was held at Marywood University.

Langan’s accomplishments include a superior rating in the National Federation of Music Clubs-Gold Cup Festival, a superior

ABINGTON JOURNAL/JOAN MEAD-MATSUI

Eleven-year-old Christopher Langan of Newton Township will perform at a Carnegie Hall recital in April.

rating for a historically diverse, memorized, 10-piece program in the National Piano Playing Guild Auditions and a superior rating in the Pennsylvania Music Teachers Dorothy Sutton Competition, as well as performances at Penn State University in a State Gold Medal Recital, the Roland Keyboard first-ever National Keyboard competition, The Mall at Steamtown, Mountainview long-term care and the Gino Merli Veterans Center.

Langan, who is always more excited than nervous before a performance or audition, said of the Carnegie Hall audition, “I play better when I’m more energetic so she (my piano

teacher) made me run up and down the stairs a couple of times.”

From now until his recital at Carnegie Hall, Langan’s regimen will include practicing scales and patterns and completing exercises to “stretch his fingers” and increase flexibility.

He said, “I’ll learn pieces for other competitions but I will keep on practicing that song (Gershwin’s “Jazz Prelude No. 1”) over and over again,” said Langan.

“The parts I didn’t know as well at the competition I’ll work on them a lot until April.”

He resides in Newton Township with his parents Sharon and Chris Langan and sister Morgan.

U of S brings France to Scranton The University of Scranton is one of approximately 90 universities nationwide to host the Tournées Festival, a 15-year-old program offered by the French American Cultural Exchange. The film festival, presented by the University’s World Languages and Cultures Department, will run March 1 to 3 and 7 to 8 in the Pearn Auditorium, Brennan Hall.

All showings begin at 7 p.m. and admission is free.

The festival will commence March 1 with “Coco Avant Chanel,” or “Coco before Chanel,” a film that explores the life of fashion designer Coco Chanel

before her empire was launched.

“Paris,” an ensemble film highlighting Paris’ diverse population, will be screened March 2. “Le Chant De Mariées,” or “The Wedding Song,” illustrates a friendship between Muslim and Jewish teenagers in Nazi-occupied Tunis, March 3. “35 Rhumsm,” or “35 Shots of Rum,” March 7 focuses on the relationship between a widowed father and his university-student daughter. The festival concludes March 8 with “La Belle Personne,” or “The Beautiful Person,” based on Madame de Lafayette’s 1678 novel “La Princesse de Cléves”.

Delaware Valley graduate volunteers time at museum Abington Piano Academy

Delaware Valley graduate Rachel Demalder, shown above, who holds a B.A. in Art History at Boston College recently volunteered her time at the Pike County Historical Society, Columns Museum, to complete an exhibit.

The title of the exhibit is “Every Picture Tells a Story,” and its goal is to connect a person from Pike County with a work of art completed by the person. The exhibit will be on display through May 2011.

‘Elmo’s Green Thumb’ will visit Mohegan Sun Arena, Wilkes-Barre March 3 through 6.

‘Elmo’s Green Thumb’ at arena

Sunny isn’t just the weather forecast on Sesame Street - it’s also the name of Elmo’s sunflower friend. Join favorite friends on a musical adventure as they help Elmo find a new home for Sunny when Sesame Street Live "Elmo’s Green Thumb" performs at Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza from March 3 through 6. Elmo has raised his sunflower, Sunny, from a seed, but his floral friend has outgrown the flower pot. Elmo and friends find Big Bird’s garden the ideal place for Sunny to flourish and grow but they are too excited to wait. Rather than let Sunny follow nature’s course, Abby Cadabby, Sesame Street’s fairy-in-training, casts a spell to make Sunny grow. The spell does just the opposite and, instead of growing, Elmo and all of his friends shrink.

While Abby searches for just the right words to reverse the spell, Elmo, Zoe, Telly and friends explore Big Bird’s garden from a smaller perspective and learn some big lessons about patience, overcoming their fears and appreciating the role that each creature plays in our

ecosystem – from dancing ladybugs and beautiful butterflies to grouchy beetles that scavenge the garden floor. Will being small help Sunny grow tall?

Like television’s Sesame Street, each Sesame Street Live production features timeless lessons for all ages. The universal appeal of each Broadway-quality musical production continues long after preschool.

Performance for "Elmo’s Green Thumb" are scheduled for March 3 at 7 p.m., March 4 at 10:30 a.m. and 7 p.m., March 5 at 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. and March 6 at 1 and 4:30 p.m. at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza 255 Highland Park Boulevard, Wilkes-Barre.

Tickets for the event rang in price from $13 to $55.

For more information, call 570.970.7600. To charge tickets by phone, call Ticketmaster at 800.745.3000. Tickets may also be purchased at the Pennstar Box Office at Mohegan Sun Arena or online at www.ticketmaster.com. For information online, please visit www.sesamestreetlive.com.

In these classes, students will also learn about famous artists in addition to working with different mediums.

Admission is $35 to each four-class series.

Call the Dietrich at 570.996.1500 to register.

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

Continued from Page 11

book discussion last week, the Dietrich’s After School Players presented their musical “Doo Wop” at Dietrich High this past Saturday. The cast of middle school and high school students did a fantastic job! The play was very high-energy, and I just loved all of the dancing and music. Their performance for family and friends was the culmination of a two-month theater arts program under the direction of Carl Canedy and Patti Dunning. We would like to thank Carl, Patti, assistant director Dakota Moore and choreographer Judy Weist of Stage Door Dance Studio for their dedication to the project.

While After School Players has ended, the Dietrich will be starting up a mixed media art series for children in March. In these classes students will be able to explore the arts by working with a variety of mediums. They will create pottery, paintings, drawings, collages and sculptures. Amy Colley will teach a preschool class Saturdays, March 12 through April 2, from 10 to 10:45 a.m. She will also be offering a similar Mommy and Me series Fridays, March 11 through April 1, from 12:30 to 1:15 p.m.

Steve Colley will be teaching a mixed media class

Comets find help off the bench

BY DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@theabingtonjournal.com

After a rough start, the Abington Heights High School girls basketball team quickly turned things around and finished the regular season 16-5, earning a bye in the first round of the District II Class AAAA tournament.

A portion of the credit for the Lady Comets’ improvement can be attributed to the emergence of shooting guard Nikki Williams as a consistent offensive threat off the Nikki Williams bench.

“She’s the best shooter in the school I’d say, boys and girls teams,” said assistant coach Tom Kusy.

Fans saw a glimpse of Williams’ talent last season when as a junior. With several players in foul trouble, head coach Vince Bucciarelli put her in the game during the Lady Comets’ 60-44 win over Nanticoke in the District II Class AA semifinals.

Williams entered the game and scored four quick points for Abington Heights. The game was a highlight for the 18-year-old Abington area resident. She saw little playing time last year, but has been a regular on the court this season.

“She knows her role, her role is our shooter,” said Bucciarelli.

“We’re not afraid to put her in there, and we try to work the ball to her to get that shot off for us.”

Throughout the season, Williams’ shooting accuracy has been a boost to the entire offense, creating scoring opportunities for other players as well.

“If teams are sitting back, double-teaming Maggie Fruehan and Joetta (Hashem), and we need someone to open her up, coach and I have been putting her in,” said Bucciarelli.

Area wrestlers head to regional competition

Abington Heights High School senior heavyweight Morgan Craig picked up where his older brother Evan left off, winning the Class AAA District II heavyweight wrestling title. Morgan Craig defeated Frank Bruno of Wallenpaupack, 6-0, in the final after pinning his first three opponents.

“Morgan has been wrestling really, really well,” said Abington Heights coach Chris Calder.

“He’s had two weeks of great performances.”

The senior, who moved up this season from 215, made quick work of his first three competitors.

“I just went out and did my best to take care of business,” Morgan Craig said. “My dad (Dane) always tells me in long tournaments

His district title is the fourth straight for the Craig family, and he acknowledged the significance of the feat.

“We’ve been talking about it and we both want to see the family legacy continued,” he said.

Looking forward to regionals, he is focused solely on his own wrestling and is not worried about who he might face.

SCRANTON - The Lackawanna Trail High School basketball team season came to a close following a 47-35 loss to Hanover Area in the District 2 Class AA boys basketball quarterfinals Feb. 26 at Scranton High School.

Down by one point coming into the second half, the Hawkeyes rode to victory following an explosive third quarter where they outshot the Lions 18-3.

“We’re thankful for the win, obviously. Any time you’re in the playoffs and you get a win you’re thankful, so we’re happy with that. I’m happy with the way we finished.

Lackawanna Trail opened the game strong with center Stephen Miller scoring two quick baskets to put the Lions up 4-0. The Hawkeyes answered back with nine unanswered points to end the first quarter up 9-6.

Hanover Area extended their lead to six points in the second quarter, but the Lions refused to lie down, and slowly chipped away at the lead.

Miller, who finished the game with 15 points, tied the game for Lackawanna Trail at 16-16 grabbing an offensive rebound and pointing it back for two points.

A Matt Lochen free throw put Lackawanna Trail up 17-16 at the close of the first half.

“It was just another match to show what I need to improve on,” he said. “I have to work on moving my feet and focusing on some of the little things.”

Calder said Fruehan has the potential to win regionals and place in the state tournament, but needs to get into the mentality of not worrying about losing and just wrestling.

There is a sense of urgency for the senior at regionals, knowing that he could be wrestling in his last matches as a Comet.

“I have to open myself up as a wrestler because there might not be a tomorrow,” he said.

“Next week is when it really counts. I’ll either be going to Hershey or my career will be over.”

Fruehan (20-6) will face off against Pottsville’s Ty Gardner (30-6) in the first round.

Dylan Berardelli took home fourth place to become the third Comet to advance to regionals.

“I didn’t start off the year well, but I’ve worked pretty hard and obviously it’s paid off,” he said.

Calder has been pleased with Berardelli’s progress during his junior year, after he competed sparsely on varsity last season.

“He’s exceeded all of our expectations,” Calder said.

“He’s given the team everything he has. He’s had some rough spots throughout the season, but he always keeps his chin up.”

Berardelli knows it will be a difficult task to advance to states, but has some familiarity with several opponents he might face.

“I’ve already wrestled a few of the kids I might see,” he said. “Obviously with District XI being in our region, it’s going to be a hard tournament.

I hope to come out with some success, but it will be tough.”

For Lackawanna Trail, defending state champion junior Eric Laytos repeated as Class AA district champion at 215, pinning Matt Rosensweet of Western Wayne just 52 seconds into their match.

“I was aggravated and really wanted to win it,” Laytos said.

“The matches are a lot more important now. I’m practicing hard and doing everything I did last year. You can’t really slack off now these last couple weeks.”

Lions’ head coach Jeff Stauffer believes Laytos is up for any challenge and is staying focused to the task at hand.

“Eric is a kid who keeps stepping it up,” he said. “He’s gonna take each match as they come.”

Laytos (39-1) will square off against North Penn’s Nathan Stettler (30-7) in the first round.

Chris Dixon (135) and Marvess Rosiak (171) each finished in third place for the Lions.

Dixon dropped down in weight classes this season to have a better chance at advancing to the state tournament.

“I am very proud of how the season went, both on and off the boards. It was great to see Zach break the school record and have Quinn and Dan f inish higher at districts than last year.

It was amazing to watch how Annie and Mia, both freshmen, without any diving experience, progress so quickly and become extremely competitive within the district,” said head coach Steve Schmaltz.

This was Schmaltz’s f irst season as diving coach.

into a four- minute overtime period.

Kraack fouled Crestwood’s Alex Culver and sent him to the line for a one-and-one early in the first overtime. Culver missed the first free throw, giving Abington Heights the ball with a chance to take the lead. Senior Justin Klingman nailed a three pointer on the ensuing possession and gave Abington Heights a three-point lead, which was the largest lead by either team since the third quarter.

With about a minute left in the overtime period, Show took the game into his hands again when he stole a Crestwood pass and went coast-to-coast for the go-ahead layup.

After a Crestwood timeout with 33.2 seconds left in overtime, Piavis drew another foul.

But this time he nailed two free throws to give Crestwood a one-point lead.

od, neither team scored until Klingman scored on a layup off a pass from Show with 1:40 remaining. Unlike the first overtime period, which had five lead changes, Abington Heights held the lead for good.

But the Comets couldn’t pull away from Crestwood.

A few possessions later, Klingman drew a foul and nailed both free throws, giving Abington Heights a four-point lead, which was its largest since the second quarter. Piavis made it a one-possession game when he made one of two free throws. After an Abington Heights timeout with 55.5 seconds remaining, Klingman found Zach Morano for a layup, giving the Comets a 48-43 lead.

Crestwood cut the lead to two when Wojnar knocked down a three pointer with 15.7 seconds remaining. Crestwood fouled Trip Lenahan on the ensuing possession and sent him to the free throw line for two shots. Lenahan missed both, leaving the door open for Crestwood.

Wojnar again drove the length of the floor and took a three pointer, but it was off the mark. Show pulled down the rebound ending the game.

Show and Klingman combined for 37 of the Comets’ 48 points, including 12 of the team’s 14 points in the overtime periods.

Piavis scored a game-high 23 points for Crestwood. Piavis and Wojnar combined for 38 of Crestwood’s 46 points, including all their overtime points.

With the victory, the Comets will face Holy Redeemer in the District 2 Class AAA semifinals March 1, at the time of this paper’s publication.

Abington Heights’ James Fruehan, shown above, advanced to regionals at 152 after finishing in second place.

make a run at states my senior year,” he said. “I knew that 135 would be tougher at districts, but hopefully it will pay off at regionals if I can place in the top three.”

He suffered his first loss of the season to Darren Stucker of Meyers in the district semifinals, and is working hard to avenge the loss if they have a rematch.

“He cradled me, that was his main move and he’s very tough,” Dixon said. “I’ll be working with the coaches this week on trying to defend that move if we meet again.”

Dixon (30-1) will face Towanda’s Caleb Willey (38-5) in the first round.

Rosiak, a junior, is aware of the tough competition on the horizon, and is putting the time

in to improve his chances.

“I’ve been working hard trying to get better,” he said.

“I’ve got a tough road ahead of me, but I’m gonna try my best.

The coaches ask me everyday in the room what I need to work on.”

Coach Stauffer said that although Marvess didn’t get the result he was looking for at districts, he advanced and has a chance to place in regionals and get to states.

“Marvess entered districts as the number one seed, but it just didn’t pan out for him,” Stauffer said. “Unfortunately he wasn’t able to do what we hoped for, but he still has a shot at redemption.”

Rosiak (33-10) will grapple with Wyalusing’s Mike Cobb (32-2) in the first round.
