Seed swap begins April 28 The Abington Community Library, in cooperation with the Abington Community Garden and Lackawanna County Penn State Cooperative Extension, has sprouted a germ of an idea. National Seed Swap Day is normally celebrated Jan. 31, but the Library will begin offering Seed Swaps several times this year. Seed Swaps are a method for exchanging already purchased seed or seeds from certain plants gone to seed.

This provides the opportunity for gardeners to share their extra seeds with others, hold down costs, get feedback on the seeds, and learn how they do in this area. The seed swaps will be held at key times during the year, to correspond with various ‘growing’ seasons: mid-April (cool season spring crops); end of May (summer crops); mid-August (cool season fall crops); and mid-September will allow gardeners to share seeds from their own crops of the previous season. Specific dates scheduled for the swaps are April 28, May 26, August 18, and September 29, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Abington Community Library, 1200 West Grove Street, Clarks Summit. Register by calling 570.587.3440 for each session. At the final swap we will encourage gardeners to bring their own ‘heirloom’ seeds, particularly beans and peas that are not affected by cross-pollination.

Everyone is encouraged to drop off at the Library, unneeded fruit, vegetable and flower seeds in sealed envelopes or in their original packets, clearly labeled with the contents, the year they were purchased and the donor’s name. Seeds must be dropped off prior to each swap so they may be organized for each event. On the night of the each swap, donors will be able to take home the seeds they would like to try. There is no cost to participate and envelopes and pens will be available. Penn State Master Gardeners will also be on hand each evening to answer questions about gardening.

The Library offers a huge number and variety of gardening books. Plan to spend some time perusing the shelves in the 635s. The Library also subscribes to a number of gardening magazines, including: Better Homes & Gardens, The English Garden, Fine Gardening, Green Scene, Mother Earth News, and Organic Gardening.

Finally, check the Library website, www.lclshome.org/ abington, for other programs on gardening and other educational opportunities throughout the year.

‘Traffic light’ system helps fight cancer

BY BEN FREDA Abington Journal Correspondent

BY: ANTONIA CASTRO Abington Journal Intern

The Cancer Treatment Centers of America have recently introduced a new food system called the “traffic light” system as part National Nutrition month in March.

“According to the National Cancer Institute, about one third of cancer patients are at risk of being malnourished, said Nicole Kemp, Clinical Oncology Dietician at the Cancer Treatment Centers of America’s Eastern Regional Medical Center.

Kemp said that in order for the cancer patients to eat healthier, the centers created this simple solution to educate about choosing the right option.

In the system, foods are labeled into three colors based on a traffic light symbolism. For example, red foods and drinks are filled with limited nutrients, yellow foods and drinks are mainly processed foods and green foods and drinks are the healthiest.

Red foods and drinks, are supposed to be eaten only occasionally due to their lack of high amounts of nutrients. Foods that would be considered junk foods would be fall under this color. These foods include fried foods, red meat, sweets, chips, ice cream and sodas. These foods are high in fats, which can raise cholesterol levels and cause weight gain. If less red foods were consumed it would stop an increase in obesity leading to healthier people, Kemp said.

The yellow foods and drinks have some nutritional value but contain fats, sugars and salts, which make them foods to eat in moderation. These foods include whole milk, certain cereals, bars and spreads such as peanut butter. With some nutritional value, these foods can be consumed in smaller portions paired with healthier options to make them a better choice.

Keeping a cancer patients weight stable is important to make sure they remain healthy while enduring their treatments, said Kemp.

The healthiest choices of all the foods are the greens, said Kemp. Loaded with important nutrients needed for a healthy lifestyle, these foods can be eaten on a regular basis.

They consist of whole grain breads, cereals, vegetables and salad. Also included are fruit, low fat milk, fish, eggs and dairy products such as yogurts.

Started in 1988, The Cancer Treatment Centers of America have locations in Illinois, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Washington. They provide patient- centered treatment that combines traditional treatments with state of the art scientifically supported alternative treatments.

They also provides support to patients and family members with counseling.

DALTON – At the Dalton Borough Council meeting held March 10, Dalton Mayor Jim Gray announced a logo/insignia design contest that would help identify the borough of Dalton .

Gray invites high school students from grades seven through 12 who live in the Dalton Borough to participate.

“Even though we’re in the school district of Lackawanna Trail, Dalton has some people from Seminary and also at Scranton Prep. If they want to take part of the contest, that’s fine,” said Gray. “All the student must do is submit a design logo that they have designed to the Dalton Borough Office Secretary Paula Vail.”

Along with the submission, the students must include their name, address, grade and high school. The deadline for entries will be May 13, 2011.

Gray mentioned that the logo contest participants are encouraged to go to the Dalton Community Library to conduct research on Dalton history using reference books .

Gray also mentioned that the winner of the contest will be announced at this year’s Memorial Day services, which will be held in downtown Dalton. The winner will receive a $100 savings bond and unveil their logo at the Memorial Day services. The winner will also be asked to lead the gathering in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Dalton President Bill Salva said to Gray, “Thank you for putting that together.” He also asked him if he was paying the $100 for the savings bond reward. When Gray told him that he was going to pay the $100 from his own pocket, Salva commended him for his willingness , but entertained a motion to award the money from the borough.

“I think that’s commendable on you, but I certainly think Council should consider either matching that or taking that on, and not have a burden on you,” Salva said. The board agreed with the motion for the Dalton Borough to provide the bond.

With questions about the Dalton Borough Logo/ Insignia Contest, call Mayor Jim Gray at 570.563.2789.

Factoryville considers part-time labor position

BY BEN FREDA Abington Journal Correspondent

FACTORYVILLE - At the Factoryville Borough Council meeting held March 9, Councilman Bill Edwards announced that he will no longer be doing manual labor in Factoryville, such as plowing and helping with the sewer.

“My responsibilities have changed. I just can’t help like I used to,” said Edwards.

“Our town is growing, and we need a part-time employee for the time being.”

Edwards made a motion for the borough to assemble a job description and discuss advertising for and hiring a part-time employee at the April meeting. He said that the part-time job will 15 to 20 hours per week and as an on-call basis every other weekend or when there’s a storm.

The board agreed with the motion. Factoryville president Chuck Wrobel said, “Thank you, Bill. You did a tremendous amount of work.”

In other news, Manager Mary Ellen Buckbee said that Lewisburg will have a parade June 25.

“They want to involve us because this is the 75th anniversary of Christy Mathewson’s induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame,” said Buckbee. “They want to tie more of Christy’s life together.” Christy Mathewson, a Factoryville native, was an early inductee into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

The Lewisburg representatives intend to have a commemorative bike tour. The bike tour, for disabled veterans, will begin at Keystone College in La Plume on either June 22 or 23, and end at the parade in Lewisburg June 25. Along the way, they will make several stops, including the Veterans’ hospital in Wilkes Barre . In other news, Director of Community Development Liz Ratchford said that Eagle Scout Jamie Reese attended the park board meeting to present his project.

Reese’s Eagle Scout project will be to build 20 picnic tables at the upcoming park pavilion with help from the Factoryville’s Men’s Club in June. Six of the tables will be handicapped-accessible.

Ratchford said Reese brought a sample of his work to her and Mary Ellen Buckbee.

“He just built a really nice cart for the soccer program to use for heating,” said Ratchford.

President Chuck Wrobel said, “It’s nice to have people like that around town.”

Ratchford also mentioned that Factoryville’s yearly board seat is having an appointment in Clinton Township. “Debbie Fricke will be the Factoryville board vacancy, and she would like to serve another four-year term,” said Ratchford. The board made a motion and agreed.

Fusion of food Bambu presents Shabu Shabu

BY JOAN MEAD-MATSUI Abington Journal Correspondent

S. ABINGTON TWP. - At the Bambu Shabu Shabu and Tapas restaurant located at 639 Northern Blvd., South Abington Township, customers can enjoy a casual dining experience and a Japanese fusion- style cuisine.

On the menu, customers will find a variety of meat; seafood; steak; ribs; Shabu Shabu, which is a Japanese meal cooked and eaten at the table; and Tapas, which owner Vinny Lam describes as “small portions or plates.”

“This is our fourth restaurant,” said owners Vinny Lam. He and his wife Michelle own Kyoto in Clarks Summit, where they have served customers for 15 years. They also own Blu Wasabi in Dickson City; and Bambu U in Scranton.

“This (Bambu Shabu Shabu and Tapas) is a totally different concept. Here you can relax, bring a bottle of wine, enjoy yourself, eat slowly and not rush. It’s a different type of atmosphere than our other restaurants.”

Those who choose to try Shabu Shabu, have a choice of three broths: Japanese Dashi, miso or vegetable.

Once a customer decides on the broth, the Lams offer In addition to Shabu Shabu, featuring Japanese style tabletop cooking, Tapas or “small plates or portions, ”, shown at right, are on the menu.

combination platters from which to choose: three choices of beef, pork, bacon pork or chicken; Seafood Supreme; Surf and Turf; and vegetarian, ranging in price from $14.95 to 19.95. A la carte items are available and include fish cakes, tofu, broccoli, asparagus, oyster and enoki mushrooms, fried soy puff, bamboo shoots and ramen, udon or vermicelli noodles.

Vinny Lam, who trained in a Japanese restaurant, said, “The Chinese call it the hot pot, the Japanese call it Shabu Shabu and the Asian people, from Thai to Korean people, all do the same concept. It’s usually served at a family get-together. You cook a broth and dip. And for anyone who is into vegetables or is a vegetarian, we have a great selection of all kinds of vegetables. You can choose from the combinations or you can have a la carte.”

He added, “This is the best soup you’re ever going to have, because everything cooks in this broth and it brings so much flavor into the soup.”

The dipping sauces available are sesame or ponzu, a citrus-based sauce commonly used in Japanese cuisine.

And for those in the mood for Tapas, Vinny Lam said, “Around here, no one really had Tapas and everyone loves the Tapas. We offer entrees from sirloin steak to sea bass, spareribs, coconut shrimp, and steamed clams.

They’re served as entrees but they’re smaller portions.”

The price range for Tapas entrées is $4.95 to $9.

“But of course, save some room for the dessert,” said Michelle Lam, referring to their chocolate fondue, with a choice of the fruit platter with strawberries, Asian pear, banana, pineapple or apple, or a mixed platter with almonds and walnuts, potato chips, rice crisp, pound cake and marshmallow.

Their dessert menu also includes rainbow sherbet, a variety of ice cream to choose from including vanilla, chocolate and Mochi ice cream featuring vanilla, strawberry and green tea flavors.

In the coming months, Vinny and Michelle Lam plan to add noodle dishes and sushi to their menu.

Weather permitting, the restaurant will also offer customers outdoor dining on the patio.

A Culinary Journey with Stephanie Shimkus

Are you very flexible?

I was driving my kids and their friends to a game the other day and listening to them talk about taking the President’s Physical Fitness Assessment in school. They teased each other about how many pull ups they could do and crunches in a minute. They also talked about their flexibility being a measure of their fitness. Flexibility is an important barometer of how healthy we are in many areas.

Our abilities to bend and stretch in life isn’t just measured by if we can touch our toes. Healthy flexibility means we can bend and stretch in relationships, finances and yes, even diets.

Flexibility in our diets is not a new concept, but it did just get a new name that is a hot trend in food. In 2010, the culinary world finally got just how fabulous a flexitarian diet can be. The word Flexitarian comes from a combination of the words vegetarian and flexible. This describes a group of people who like the vegetarian lifestyle, either because of ethical issues and concerns, or because they realize that eating whole foods from plants has been proven to be one of the healthiest diets around .

But, they can’t imagine giving up a burger on the grill or grandma’s famous chicken noodle soup for good. There is so much evidence that a diet comprised mostly vegetables is good for you. In fact, a study cited on the popular health and wellness website Webmd.com stated that vegetarians live 3.6 years longer than meat eaters and weigh on average 15 percent less than their omnivorous friends.

The movement has actually been documented for the last decade or so, though I assume there have always been vegetarians who occasionally succumbed to the lure of a juicy New York Strip. The reason, I suspect, that 2010 featured more people then jump aboard this way of eating had more to do with the environment than with the ethical reasons for dumping meat now and then. Thanks to the masses taking a cult- like interest in all things food, more people became exposed to the works and books of trailblazing authors like Michael Pollan “Carnivore’s dilemma” and Mark Bittman “Food Matters.”

People watched the documentary “Food Inc.” in horror not only at how our meat is grown, handled and mass produced but also the effects all that beef we eat has on our environment. In his article “How Our Food Choices can Help Save the Environment,” Steve Boyan PhD explained that even more effective than switching to a fuel -efficient car is giving up eating even just one pound of beef per year, per person in the U. S I recently had the opportunity to take my hospitality students from Lackawanna College to

Above, Mary Lou Chibirka, art teacher, teaches at the Abington Senior Center.

Area students created risotto in vegetarian, vegan and meatinclusive varieties.

Wallenpaupack High School’s foods classes to lecture and do a demonstration on this topic. We showed the students three versions of risotto following the trends of the flexitarian diet.

One group made a strictly vegan risotto using no meat or meat by products. The second group made a vegetarian risotto using things like cheese and milk or by-products of animals. The third group built on the first two versions, but added meat to theirs. Suprisingly the group comprised of high school and college- aged students loved the vegan and vegetarian versions.

Though they enjoyed the version using meat, they were unanimous in saying that they could see themselves following a flexitarian style diet to live healthier lives for themselves and for the planet.

Here is Lackawanna College’s version of vegetarian risotto with Crimini mushrooms and aged gouda cheese. Here’s to your health and flexibility.

Risotto with Crimini Mushrooms and Aged Gouda Ingredients 2 Tblsp. pure olive oil 2 shallots, minced 1 pound sliced Crimini mushrooms 2 cups Arborio rice 4 cups vegetable stock (Kitchen Basics is my favorite) 1 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup grated aged gouda How to: Pour four cups of vegetable stock in a small pot at low to medium heat.

Add olive oil to pot over medium heat. Once oil is hot, add shallots and mushrooms and cook just until tender, fragrant.

Add rice and stir with wooden spoon to coat each kernel of rice. Add about 1 cup of stock and stir constantly over medium to low heat. Continue stirring until almost all liquid is absorbed. Continue to add stock, half of a cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. Once all stock has been absorbed by rice, around 30 minutes, finish risotto with cream and grated cheese and season with kosher salt and cracked black pepper.

Continued from Page 1 and Professional Association and also offering scholarships for graduating seniors from Abington Heights High School.

The 44-year-old South Abington resident has served as a Lion for four years and said he became involved through the Santa Project.

The Santa Project, which has been in operation more than 45 years, delivers the jolly man in red to the homes of local children and their parents.

According to Kusma, a Santa Project form is sent to elementary schools for children in grades kindergarten through two. For those who sign up, Santa Claus will make home visits with gifts for the children. “What made us different is that we took Santa to the kids and that’s not something you see everywhere…”

Past Director Governor Ed Klovensky, a Lion since 1967, has been a part of the Santa Project for 25 years. “Visiting those kids was amazing,” the 81-year-old North Abington resident said.

Joe Skinner, a Lion since 1989, also participated in the Santa Project for several years. “… to see those kids light up, we got back a hundred times what we gave.”

Throughout the year, the 30 members currently in the club hold coffee stops at rest stops located on

Want to go?

What: Health Fair with information and screenings for all ages sponsored by the District 14-H Lions Clubs and co-sponsored by VNA Hospice Home Health.

When: April 16 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Where: South Abington Fire Hall, 113 Shady Lane Road, Chinchilla state Route 81. Kusma said the holidays during which they usually offer the free service include Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day and Thanksgiving. “Kind of the ones where there’s usually a four-day weekend.”

The coffee stops are a free program offered through PennDOT. Bill Fives, Roadside Specialist with PennDOT is in charge of the rest areas in northeastern Pennsylvania.

Fives has gotten to know the Lions Club at the coffee stops during the 12 years he has worked with PennDOT. “They’re just good guys,” he said, adding that they are very accommodating.

Coffee, tea, juice and treats are available for free to travelers, along with baked goods and various food items. Kusma said the products are free and a donation jar is placed at the rest areas.

In addition to the group’s service activities, the Lions Club also col-

lects items from the public, such as eye glasses, hearing aids and telephones to donate back to members of the community who need them.

Skinner said he receives calls from teachers or guidance counselors informing him of students in need of eyeglasses. A visit with an optometrist will be set up for the person in need through the Lions Club. Later, the Lions will then help match him or her with a free pair of eyeglasses.

Throughout their years in the Abingtons, the Lions have also built tennis courts, wading pools and refurbished a little league field.

Members organized a basketball tournament for several years and still participate with Abington Lions Little League.

Lions International hosts an annual Peace Poster Contest. Twelveyear-old Abington Heights Middle School student Kelsey Wynn submitted a poster this year and, according to Kusma, she won at the district level. Kelsey Wynn said that she hopes when people look at the poster she drew they think “peace.”

Anyone interested in becoming a Lion can either contact a member of the club or visit www.Abingtonlions.org.

Skinner referred to the group as an external family and Klovensky said they share camaraderie.

“The Lions are a fun group of men and women interested in making their community a better place to live,” Kusma.

The pipelines, which are buried underground, are monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, Docherty said.

To keep up-to-date on the condition of the pipelines, a device called a Smart Pig is inserted into the pipelines every four to five years that monitors any scrapes, dents, nicks, gauges or rust to the pipeline, according to Docherty. “It really lets us know the condition of the pipes from the inside, so that we can maintain and operate a safe pipeline and not have to worry about if it an old rusty pipe.”

According to the presentation, the pipelines are regulated by “US CFR Title 49, Part 195: The Transportation of Hazardous Liquids by Pipeline.” They are also “enforced by the Office of Pipeline Safety of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation” and are inspected annually by the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Docherty urged anyone interested in digging to call 811, a nationwide number, and alert Buckeye Partners L.P. “You call 811 in this area, Pennsylvania One Call will pick up the phone.

They’ll ask you some information, what are you planning to do, where are you planning to do it and they will take that information about your excavation.

And it doesn’t matter how big or how small, they’ll take the information and they’ll send it to any utilities in the area. So they’ll let the phone company know, electric company, water, sewer, gas company. They’ll let Buckeye know, any other pipeline companies in the area so that we can come out and locate our pipelines and make sure that you can dig safely, without doing any damage to that pipeline that would put yourself at risk and the community at risk.

So 811: it’s free for homeowners, it’s a great service and we encourage everyone to always call before you dig.”

Docherty said that they have been working with developers of Ransom Recreational Shooting and have viewed the plans. “…The plans we saw look real good as far as protecting the pipe-

lines to ensure that any activity that would be taking place over them would not endanger the pipelines.”

Andrew Massimilian, director of operations for Ransom Recreation Shooting Sports, LLC, said that as far as the property on the proposed range, only one of the three pipelines goes through the development area.

Chairwoman Lisa Levan read two letters in regard to the proposed shooting range.

One, from Township Engineer John Seamans, included a section that stated one topic about the proposed range that needs to be resolved: Developers need to obtain a letter from Buckeye stating that they are satisfied with the plans. Seamans said everything included in the letter he wrote has been previously documented in other letters to the developer.

Levan also read aloud a letter from William Kaufell, Director of Environmental Acoustics at Skelly and Loy, Inc. in response to results from a sound study Massimilian had conducted at the land where the proposed range would be located on Ransom Road.

A portion of the letter stated, “The mitigation designs presented in the letter are excellent examples of noise reduction techniques implemented at rifle ranges and how shooting ranges can be constructed to minimize sound emissions….”

The letter listed six comments, including one on the proposed design for the Long Range Precision Rifle Range. “… If the initial construction does not meet the ordinance at the property line, additional features can also be built into the range after construction, as outlined in the letter, to further reduce sound levels as needed.”

Massimilian said in an interview after the meeting that improvements relating to sounds can be added on the Long Range Precision Rifle Range.

The letter ended with, “…

It appears as if the facility would be in compliance with the noise ordinance with the mitigation proposed, although it cannot be examined comprehensively without the plans….”

Kaufell declined to comment.

Ransom Township Planning Commission will meet April 18 at 7 p.m.

TRIUMPH

Continued from Page 1 ger of being shut down permanently. The Dietrich fell on hard times in the1980s due to the rise in popularity of VHS, home video industry, and closed its doors. The building was left empty until1998 when Morgan, along with Sandy Vieczorek, Linda Learn, Barb Jones, Margie Young and Ester Harmatz put their heads together to come up with a way to reopen the theater’s doors.

“We just wanted it back in the town,” said Morgan.

“There were a few of us who saw the building was falling down, and we thought it would be a shame if it was bought by someone and torn down, because everyone in the community had such wonderful memories of the theater.”

The four held a meeting with the theater’s then -owner Eric Brown, who offered to sell them the building for $175,000. He offered to hold the mortgage for a year but wanted a $34,000 down-payment within five weeks or he was going to look for another buyer.

The group did not have the money, but went to the local newspaper to tell their story. The four requested the public to send in donations to help them raise the money and save the theater, with a promise that if they didn’t raise the money, they would send anything they received back. By the fiveweek deadline, they had raised$50,000.

“That’s something you can only do in a small town, because everyone knew us,” said Morgan.

Morgan said originally they had planned to get the theater opened and hand it off to someone else.

However, since that time, Morgan, Vieczorek, Jones, Harmatz and Young have all stayed on in different capacities.

As a result, they have been able to view the generosity and love for the theater continue and the Dietrich thrive in a time when locally -owned movie theaters are becoming a thing of the past.

“We have the most wonderful town, and people who love the Dietrich,” said Morgan.

“And it’s not just this area, but the surrounding areas… We have such loyal customers from all around. We’re just so lucky, and we understand that we would not be here if not for their kindness.”

As a non-profit organization, the theater depends on this kindness to stay in business, and Morgan said they see it every year, especially during the festival’s opening night gala, which acts as a fundraiser for the theater.

Tickets for the Gala are $50 and must be purchased in advance. To reserve tickets, call 570.996.1500.

Keystone art students embark on art careers

n a few months, the senior class at Keystone College will be leaving school to embark on their careers. ArtWorks and Afa Gallery in Scranton are inviting the public to witness the beginning of 17 of those careers this Friday.

The galleries will host “Side by Side: Keystone College’s 2011 Senior Exhibition,” which will be on display through April 29, and will begin with an opening reception April 1 from 6 to 9 p.m.

“They’re excited,” said Fine Arts Department Instructor Nikki Moser of the students. “It’s the first time they get to look at a body of their work with an audience.”

The exhibition is the final requirement for the students’ capstone course. The goal is to give the artists the chance to take the first step in being a professional artist, by going off campus to have their work showcased.

Last year, the school held the exhibit at Afa Gallery for the first time, and they were welcomed back again this year.

“It went really well (last year),” said Moser.

“Afa has a gallery committee, and after they reviewed the exhibit, and saw the professional

Less than 10 days until the opening of the Spring 2011 Film Festival, and excitement is mounting!

Starting on Friday, April 8, we will be featuring 17 of the finest foreign, independent and art films released in the past four months during the course of two weeks.

After leafing through a film festival brochure, I can tell you I will be spending a good part of those 14 days in the Dietrich’s Evans Theater. I hope to see “Biuitful,” “Casino Jack,” “The Company Men,” “Even the Rain,” “Kings of Pastry,” “Potiche (Trophy Wife)” and “A Somewhat Gentle Man.”And, of course, there is always at least one great movie that you find out about by word of mouth, so I will probably try to see that one too. If you want to figure out your own schedule of festival films you want to see, visit www.dietrichtheater.com and click on the film festival banner.

Of course, there is no better way to begin two weeks of superb film than by attending our Opening Night Gala. Join us on Friday, April 8, at 5:30 p.m. for just the best hors d’oeuvres, wine, movies and desserts. For the evening, Jeffery, our film buyer, was able to bring in the French comedy “Potiche (Trophy Wife),” which will have only been open two weeks earlier in New York and L.A, and “The Company Men.” Dr. Philip Mosley will be on hand to introduce the films. Plus, we will also be commemorating the 10th anniversary of the reopening of the Dietrich as a movie theater and cultural center. Tickets to the gala are only $50 each and can be reserved by calling 570.996.1500.

A big event for little ones is just around the corner too. Tom Knight and his puppets will be back at the Dietrich for a special show on Thursday, April 7, at 1:30 p.m. You and your young children or grandchildren will have a fantastic time dancing and singing along to Tom’s great skits and songs featuring books, the environment, the solar system and so much more. Admission is free.

We hope to see you there!

Broadway returns to ETC

BY RAFAEL PIMENTEL Abington Journal Correspondent

SCRANTON - The Electric Theatre Company will be celebrating a songwriter with their third annual “Monday Night on Broadway” benefit show, appropriately titled, “Celebrating Sondheim,” at 7:30 p.m., April 4 at 326 Spruce St., Scranton.

The event is a benefit for the company.. According to David Zarko, producing artistic director for the Electric Theater Company, the benefit shows have been fantastic each time. Each performance featured 15 to 20 Broadway actors, with no exception this year.

This years’ cast company and song list were handpicked by Thom Christopher Warren, who has performed in the Broadway adaptation of “Lion King” for nine years. Warren was more careful with his selections this year than in the previous two.

“The difficulty of the music requires preparation, so no one could jump into it like last few times. Sondheim is way too specific. I know many people who could handle the difficult pieces, so I handpicked friends who could do it with little to no practice,” Warren said.

One another difference in this years benefit is how it is being conducted. In the past Warren had chosen to have the actors learn songs,

Monday Night on Broadway returns to the Electric Theatre Company for the third time this year, April 4 at 7:30 p.m., to celebrate the music and lyrics of Stephen Sondheim. Shown are Broadway performers Ta’Rea Campbell, Thom Christopher Warren, Janine DiVita, Preston Truman Boyd, Jim Ferris, Erin Maguire and Richard Kline, seated.

but there was no real show put together until the day of the benefit. It was spontaneous. This year, much preparation has gone into the event. It is the first time that the benefit will have choreography, costume and staging. Another key difference is the length. “Celebrating Sondheim,” will consist of two hour-long acts as opposed to the 70-80 minute shows of the last benefits.

This year, Richard Kline, most known for his role in “Three’s Company” will host the event, which features many Broadway performers, as well as local talent. Loni Ackerman, who has been in “Cats” and “Evita” will perform, as well as original cast mem-

bers from “Evita, ” “Sweet Charity,” “Man of La Mancha” and “Lion King.”

Marywood graduate Sean Patrick Gibbons will also perform, as will several of Warren’s students from his acting class.

The benefit is a review of Sondheim’s works and will feature an eclectic selection of Sondheim’s work, according to Warren.

“It won’t be boring. We are doing variations on familiar songs, so that when people come in to see it, they don’t walk in saying, ‘Oh, I’ve seen or heard that before,’” Warren said.

Why bring in so many big name actors? Why celebrate Sondheim? Sondheim celebrated his 81st birthday March 22, and according to

Warren, Sondheim should be celebrated while he’s alive. He is one the most eminent writers of American musicals, writing over 20 musicals. His resume includes “West Side Story,” “Gypsy” and “Sweeney Todd.”

“He is the granddaddy of contemporary American musical theater. He helped change how we look at musical theater and brought many bizarre and controversial topics to the forefront. Look at Sweeney Todd, he made him a part of pop culture. Sondheim made it OK to enjoy musicals again,” Warren said.

“His music is intense, exciting, cerebral. The way he syncs music and lyrics is clever but never pretentious.

He creates beautiful melodies, and the music allows itself to be rewritten for every generation.”

With that in mind, Warren and his Broadway friends will present Sondheim for this generation at the Electric Theatre Company.

Tickets and details are available by contacting 570.558.1515, www.electrictheatre.org, or at the box office, Wednesdays through Saturdays 5 p.m. to curtain time. Because these are benefit performances, tickets are not available for purchase on a PlayPass.

Benefit Tickets: $50 general, $45 seniors and students, free post show party included.

According to his web site, Palmiter is a four to 12 who possess common sense Professor of Psychology and Director of about child rearing.”

“I was dealing with a single dad – a cap- the Psychological Services Center at Marytain of industry who was paid a lot of mon- wood University in Scranton. He is on the ey to solve his company’s problems but he Board of Directors of the Pennsylvania Psychological Association and Pennsylvacouldn’t solve the problem to get his teenager to do her homework,” said Dr. Palmi- nia Psychological Foundation; he has a private practice in Clarks Summit; is host ter. and co-producer of a television program, “Early on in the work, I had him do the intervention that I do in the first chapter (of “Mental Health Matters;” and is Public Palmiter’s book), “Special Time,” which is Education Coordinator for Pennsylvania, a one-on-one hour a week of a special kind American Psychological Association. He has completed 30 professional publicaof attention you give a kid. And being the tions; given more than 200 professional problem solver that he was, he thought it workshops; and participated in more than was introducing an unnecessary delay 175 media projects. He has also won a because they weren’t dealing with the national award for his writing, a state award homework. He tried it on faith and came back the following week. I said, ‘What was it like?’ He was polite and he said he couldn’t wait to get to the homework problem. And I asked the teenager what it was like for her, and like a lot of teenagers, she said, ‘I don’t know.’ Well, I said, ‘If sitting in the front row of a Steven Tyler concert was a 10 and eating a cupcake is a one, what was this?’ I barely got the question out of my mouth and she declared with a trembling lip, ‘It was a ten.’ The man couldn’t believe what he was hearing.”

Prior to writing “Working Parents, Thriving Families,” Palmiter had been looking for a book that contained three essential ingredients and so his goal was to provide parents with a book that contained the right material, was “edutaining” and not preachy.

“I had two main reasons for writing this book. It would seem to me that in my years of doing clinical work, that a lot of problems I was seeing in kids could have been avoided, had parents had access to information that is readily available to academics

for his media work and a university award for his work within in the field of psychology.

Most recently, Palmiter was a presenter at the Waverly Community House as part of the Comm’s Family Film and Lecture Series.

“Working Parents, Thriving Families,” which will be available in April, contains 10 chapters or strategies. They are as follows.

Chapter 1 Strategy One: Complete One Hour Each Week of “Special Time” with Your Child; Chapter 2 Strategy Two: Discover, Promote and Celebrate Your Child’s Competencies; Chapter 3 Strategy Three: Monitor Your Child; Chapter 4 Strategy Four: Establish Enjoyable Family Rituals; Chapter 5 Strategy Five: Practice Sound Discipline; Chapter 6 Strategy Six: Promote Healthy Decision Making, Independence and Adaptive Thinking; Chapter 7 Strategy Seven: Take Care of Yourself and Your Relationship with Your Significant Other; Chapter 8 Strategy Eight: Emphasize a Healthy Lifestyle; Chapter 9 Strategy Nine: Establish Collaborative Relationships with Other Important Adults; and Chapter 10 Strategy Ten: Get Help if Your Child is Demonstrating Problems that You’re Unable to Fix. “I tell all of the parents I work with, ‘you’re one of the world’s leading experts on your child. I want to give you the science about a particular decision or concept but it’s very important that you then filter it through the lens of your expertise of your child.’ So it’s a partnership...,” he said.

“My motivation was to try to do a better job at characterizing what signals a need for care and how to get it and what constitutes quality care in a way that engaging to a parent reader. We have shrinking time available for parenting and a stress in America survey findings suggest that about three quarters of those that have a family report their family life is a top stress but only one-third indicate that they’re handling it… Everybody is running and gunning and there’s a lot of confusion about how to parent well in those short bursts of time… I also liken the book to being an efficiency manager to parents.”

With Jane Julius Honchell

‘Rebirth II’ in Scranton

SEE JANE READ Warning: Series is habit-forming.

Every so often, I become addicted. It begins innocently enough: I pick up a paperback at the grocery store, and the next thing you know, I’m scouring bookstores and Amazon.com for other titles in the series, unable to rest until I’ve read them all. Mind you, these aren’t necessarily goodbooks,butsomethingabout them unleashes an unholy craving. Such was the case with Lee Child’s series featuring the enigmatic Jack Reacher.

I’m not sure how to classify the Reacherstories.They’repartsuspense, part action, part detective fiction, part police procedural.

WhatIdoknowisthatJackReacher, whose personality and past are revealed during the course of 15books,isafascinatingguy,and Child really knows how to hook a reader. Since the series does not progress in chronological order, you have to read all the books to piece together Reacher’s life.

Given all the snow days we’ve had this winter, I’ve had ample time to do just that.

Jack Reacher, like his older brother, Joe, grew up on military bases, where their late father served as a Marine. Little wonder then that he would follow the only life he’s ever known. A West Pointgraduate,Reacherservesin the110th Military Police, eventually heading a special investigation unit.

Someofthebooksaresetwithin this time frame, my favorite of whichis“TheEnemy,”published in 2004. However, after 13 years of highly decorated service, due to cutbacks in the Armed Services, Reacher loses his job, leaving the service with the rank of major. Does he find a good woman, settle down and lead a normal life?Noway.Aftersomanyyears of a life that has been controlled by others, Reacher yearns for freedom, and it is how he goes about trying to ensure this freedom that makes him so interesting to me.

Since he’s spent so much of his life at Army bases all over the world and thus has never really known his own country very well, Reacher decides to travel America. He has no set destination, no itinerary; he just gets on a bus, his preferred means of travel, and goes wherever it happens to be heading.

To say that Reacher travels light is an understatement. He has only the clothes on his back and a folding toothbrush; he doesn’t even wear a watch. Until 9/11, he carried no identification, but eventually he breaks down and sticks his passport and an ATM card in his pocket. Every couple of days, he buys a new set of clothes and throws the old one in the trash.

Although he has nothing to hide, Reacher goes to great lengths to be, well, unreachable.

He has no permanent address, no cell phone, no driver’s license, no credit cards. He pays for everything in cash so as not to leave a paper trail, and when he checks into a cheap motel or hotel, he gives a false name, usually that of anobscurebaseballplayerorperhaps some long-dead Secretary of State.

Obviously, the police officers he encounters in his travels take a dim view of all this, and often arresthimforvagrancy,runhimout oftownorsuspecthimofwhatever crime they’re trying to solve.

What frequently happens, however, is that these small-town cops find themselves needing help, so they end up reluctantly making use of Reacher’s talents.

For one thing, Reacher is 6foot, 5-inches tall and 230 pounds worth of raw power. If he doesn’t have a weapon handy— andhecanusethemallwithgreat accuracy—he’sperfectlycapable

WWW.THEABINGTONJOURNAL.COM

of killing with his bare hands.

When he has to fight, which is regularly, he is fast, vicious and deadly. If his opponents are lucky enough to survive, chances are good they’ll be spending quite some time in traction. In addition, Reacher is very smart. He’s got a way with numbers and logical reasoning. Although he’s a man of few words (think Clint Eastwood in a camouflage uniform), he knows how to get other people to talk.

Part of the enigma that is Reacher concerns his paradoxical relationships with other people. On one hand, he is alarmingly uninvolved with his own family. Although he loves his mother and brother very much, he rarely sees or even calls them. In Child’s first book, “The Killing Floor,” published in 1997, Reacher hadn’t spoken with his brother in seven years,andalthoughheknowsJoe works for the Treasury Department, he has no idea what Joe does until Joe is brutally murdered.

Likewise, in “The Enemy,” his mother, who is French and lives in Paris, is dying. Reacher has no clue until Joe finally manages to get in touch with him. If you’re wondering how Joe could be a characterintheeighthbookinthe series, since he dies in the first one,rememberthatthestoriesare not told in chronological order.

On the other hand, Reacher does form caring and often lovingrelationshipswiththewomen he encounters on his travels. He treats them kindly and seems very sensitive to their needs. Likewise, he sometimes forms brief friendships with male characters, and he remains loyal to his former Army team, going to their aid in “Bad Luck and Trouble.”

AllIcanmakeofthisisthatReacher is only really comfortable with short-term relationships.

When his women get serious, he leaves on the next bus.

In addition to his craving for freedom and anonymity, Reacher is moved to take action when he feels someone has suffered an injustice, when he encounters people—especially children— whocan’tprotectthemselvesand when he knows there are dirty secrets that must be exposed.

When he was a little boy, his mother worried about what he would do with his uncommon physical strength. “Your job is to dotherightthingwithit,”shetells him, and Reacher has never forgotten those words. In book after book, Reacher stubbornly does the right thing, even when doing so puts him in mortal danger .

At times, he works to see that justice is served within the law, but often he acts like an avenging angel. He has no qualms about delivering his own form of justice, which almost always results in the death of his target. Conveniently, he never gets caught. In many ways, he reminds me of James Bond, minus the tuxedo, toys and sexism.In addition to creating an intriguing character, Child is very good at describing the environments Reacher occupies, and his fight scenes are riveting and horribly violent. I have to admit that the violence in a few of the books in this series repulsed me, but most of time, I was cheering on our hero—and Reacher is a hero, a man you’d want to have in your corner if you were in big trouble.

The Reacher series is not great literature by any means, but it provides a great escape, and one that can become addictive, so read at your own risk.

“Bricolage: REBIRTH II” Visual Concepts Spring 2011 Class Exhibition will be on display April 1 through 26, with an opening reception April 1, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Green Being 334 Adams Ave., Scranton.

Complimentary treats and refreshments will be served. There will also be live music by Mark Woodyatt.

“Bricolage: REBIRTH” started as an assignment given by Ted Michalowski to his Visual Concepts class at Marywood University.

The assignment was to create a bricolage dimensional work, incorporating a freewheeling use of materials, the theme being Rebirth.

This theme brought interpretations from the secular to sacred, social to seasonal, recycling to resurrection, ecological to enigmatic. Materials were gathered ad

These scrounged materials were manipulated so that they no longer resembled that of their original purpose, in order to create something much more beautiful.

This way of working was introduced to Ted Michalowski by his bricolage mentor at Syracuse University’s ISDP-MA Illustration Masters Program, the master bricoleur, Gene Hoffman.This is an exhibition of the 14 solutions by the 14 students.

Students in the exhibition are Karl FilsAime, Chris Hesser, Mickie Eberz, Victoria Porter, Isela Lopez, Meredith McDevitt, Carolyn Armstrong, Therese Dechent, Kayla Evanina, Brent Smith, SUBMITTED PHOTO Brooke Burdick, MagMaggie Clauss, “Circle of Life,” aluminum cans, copper wire, gie Clauss, Stephanie felt, fabric, coffee holder, 2011, shown above.

In addition to Tom Knight’s Puppet Show and the film festival, the Dietrich’s spring and summer quilting classes will be starting up next week. In Quilting for Kids, children will be able to discover early American quilting techniques as they create classic bear’s paw quilts.

Students will also learn about color as they work with fabrics that are inspired by the great outdoors.

For the spring and summer Intergenerational Quilting classes, students will create double pin wheel quilts as they learn quilting techniques.

In this class, students will see how to create movement through the use of light and dark materials. Both series of quilting classes will be held on Wednesdays from April 6 through July 20.

Quilting for Kids is from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. and Intergenerational Quilting is from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Students are invited to join at any time. Admission is $6 per class and all materials will be provided.

During the week, the students will meet again and decided how their work will be displayed.

“As an artist, that’s part of the process, taking ownership of how their work is going to be presented,” said Moser.

Moser added that she has been impressed with the work the students have been producing for the exhibit, and encourages the community to come out and support the exhibit, citing the quality and variety of the work as reason enough to attend.

“Side by Side” will feature a number of mediums taught at Keystone College, La Plume, including jewelry making, painting, digital photography, traditional

photography and ceramics.

Adam Barndt, Melissa Carestia, Karen Clark, Dana Gabel, Sarah Keen, Shawn Killian, Lauren Sieg, Kalli Snodgrass and Brandon Szuch will have their work displayed at Afa Gallery, located at 514 Lackawanna Ave., Scranton.

Marlene Adams, Peter Dinicolas, Thomas Harrington, Erin Kaercher, Kate Mulusky, Desiree Prush, Brandon Sperger and Carolyn Walker will have their work displayed ArtWorks Gallery, 503 Lackawanna Ave., Scranton.

level of the students’ work, they were really impressed, and eager to have them back.”

Due to space, Keystone College wasn’t able to exhibit every student’s work at once last year, and held three exhibits at the gallery three consecutive weeks in a row.

Doing it that way meant the students’ work was only on display for one week, and only one group was able to have work on display during Scranton First Friday art walk.

This year, however, thanks to ArtWorks involvement, the school will be able to display the work of all 17 students on the same night, for the entire month.

“We’re excited that ArtWorks wanted to participate this year,” said Moser.

“We were looking for an opportunity to have the pieces up a little longer, and there’s an excitement about First Friday that we wanted everyone to experience.”

Nine of the artists will have their work displayed at Afa gallery, eight at ArtWorks Gallery.

BY KELLY LEIGHTON Abington Journal Correspondent

Morgan Faist, Madison Lee, and Maggie Reppa proudly show off their original watercolor paintings they did as an end result of three sessions with Cindy G. Reynolds, retired teacher from Mountain View Elementary School.

Watercolor paint inspires students Twenty years ago, teacher Pat Carpenter fulfilled her student teaching with second grade teacher Cindy Reynolds at Mountain View Elementary. The experience turned into a friendship that has lasted throughout the years. Reynolds retired after 35 years of teaching, but has found new opportunities to utilize her time and talents.

One of her favorite pastimes is watercolor painting. Ironically, her first class was funded by a stipend she received for acting as a cooperating teacher for Carpenter, who was a student at Marywood University at the time.

Reynolds’ love and skill in the medium have grown into sharing with adult and student classes. As a result, Reynolds recently presented three sessions to Carpenter’s gifted class at Lackawanna Trail Elementary Center.

Madison Lee, Maggie Reppa, and Morgan Faist participated in the sessions, which resulted in their own framed paintings that they were able to take home. During the first session, the girls learned that everything is composed of shapes and that concept enabled them to draw whatever they see. “I think it was really fun. I didn’t know I could every draw this well. I’m really glad I got the chance to do it,� said Reppa. During the second session, their drawing skills were refined by having them focus on daffodils and the shapes that make the flowers.

During the final session they drew daffodils, painted them in watercolor and framed them. “I never believed I could paint. I was amazed with the finished result. She really is an amazing instructor,� said Lee.

CARBONDALE- At just ten years old, Abigail Molnar has accomplished something that most artists strive for- having not one, but two of her paintings on display at the Second Anniversary Juried Art Exhibition in the Main Street Gallery in Carbondale.

Molnar, a fifth grade student at Our Lady of Peace School in Clarks Green, has been interested in art since she was in kindergarten. However, she didn’t start painting until about two years ago, when she was in third grade.

Now, she takes formal painting lessons for an hour each week to help with her craft. “I like to do landscapes with acrylics,� she said. Molnar added that she gets her inspiration for her paintings by a few things, such as fellow artists and their paintings, calendars and photos.

Molnar submitted her paintings to the exhibit, and was “excited� when she learned that two of them were chosen to be displayed. Opening night was held March 25, and Molnar said she was thrilled to attend.

Not only did she attend the opening night celebration, but she sold her first painting that evening as well. “It was so exciting,� she said, of knowing that her artwork will be hanging in someone’s home.

Additionally, Molnar enjoyed going to the show and seeing other artists’ contributions besides her paintings. “It was so cool to walk around and look at what other people

had done,� she said. Overall, the gallery chose 49 pieces of art to display from 31 regional artists for this exhibit.

Molner’s mother, Tia, said that it is “pretty amazing� to see her daughter’s artwork displayed along with other “such accomplished artists� during this exhibit. “It is very neat,� she added.

Besides painting, Molnar is actively involved in several other hobbies. Her favorites include skiing, basketball, cross country and forensics, in which she participates in the dissection of literature. She is

considering art as a future career, but is also interested in marine biology.

The Second Anniversary Juried Art Exhibition, which is comprised of all work done locally, runs until April 29.

The Main Street Gallery is located at 27 North Main Street, in downtown Carbondale. For more information, contact Tony Pachick, the gallery director of the Main Street Gallery at 570.877.9698.

Keystone students offer free tax assistance Keystone College students Katelyn Chambers, Nichelle O’Brien and Carol Longcoy each plan to pursue careers as professional accountants. This spring, they’re learning what it’s like to experience a busy tax season and provide valuable assistance to those who need their help.

Chambers, Meshoppen, O’Brien, Clarks Summit and Longcoy, Archbald, participate in Keystone’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program under the direction of Associate Professor of Accounting Kevin Vinson.

The students and Vinson prepare tax returns for lower income and elderly individuals who otherwise might be unable to prepare their own taxes or afford an accountant or tax preparation service.

“Each spring, we manage to save a total of approximately $10,000 in tax preparation fees for our clients,” said Vinson. “That’s a significant benefit to the people we serve.”

The Keystone VITA team began work in January and will continue until the April 18 tax deadline, serving about 100 taxpayers. People make appointments and bring their tax information to campus. One of the three Keystone students prepares the return and it is then reviewed by Vinson. All of the students have taken the necessary accounting courses at Keystone and passed a certification test to meet VITA requirements.

“This is exactly what I want to do after I graduate from Keystone,” said O’Brien. “We’ve been able to help people and gain valuable experience at the same time.”

Those are exactly the sentiments of Clarks Summit residents Dorothy and Jack Wasser. The couple has been coming to Keystone for the last five years to have their taxes prepared.

“We just love coming here each year,” said Dorothy Wasser. “There’s never any problem and we know the job is going to get done correctly. These students provide a really valuable service and we’re glad they are here.”

The students’ pen pals are 4th graders from Letort Elementary School in Lancaster. The two classes have been exchanging letters since September, 2010. Each student spent time in front of a classroom camera where it was possible to see and hear a pen pal while speaking.

The two classes have ongoing communication during the school year. The class also uses Skype to allow outside experts to share information with them.

Clarks Summit, Pa.

Former Comet joins Royals

Carl Danzig, head men’s basketball coach at The University of Scranton, did not have to travel far to land his first recruit for the upcoming 2011-2012 season.

In fact, he didn’t even have to leave his house.

Danzig announced that his eldest son, Ross, a former standout at Abington Heights High School who spent this past season at Blair Academy, N.J., will join the Royal men’s basketball team next year.

The younger Danzig will fill in the gap created by the loss of Zach Ashworth, a 2011 second-team AllAmerican by National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) and two-time Landmark Conference Player of the Year (2010, 2011), in the Scranton backcourt.

In three seasons at Abington Heights, Ross Danzig poured in 1013 points to lead the Comets to a 78-11 record (.876), including a 29-3 mark his senior year, under head coach Ken Bianchi.

During this span, Abington Heights won three Lackawanna League titles (20082010) and two Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) District II AAA championships (2008, 2010), including an Elite Eight appearance in 2010.

A two-time first-team all-Lackawanna League selection, Danzig averaged 17 points, seven rebounds and three assists per game.

This past season, Danzig contributed 13 points, five rebounds and four assists per game at Blair Academy, which finished with a 16-7 record and won the New Jersey Prep Class A state championship under head coach Joe Mantegna.

The younger Danzig joins a Royal basketball program coming off its third Landmark Conference title and third NCAA tournament appearance in four years under his dad. Scranton finished the 2011 season with a 20-6 record and is now 191-79 (.663) in 10 seasons under his father’s direction.

MARCH 30 TO APRIL 6, 2011

Louisville season comes to end Abington Heights graduate Becky Burke was held scoreless Saturday night when Louisville had its women’s basketball season come to an end with a 76-69 loss to Gonzaga in the round of 16 of the NCAA Division I women’s tournament.

Burke came off the bench to play 12 minutes. She missed her only shot, a 3-point attempt, and had two rebounds.

The junior guard had 12 points in

three tournament games.

Burke’s best game came in the second round when Louisville, the seventh seed in the Spokane Regional, knocked off second-seeded Xavier, 85-75.

Burke played 16 minutes, sixthmost on the team, and scored 10 points while grabbing two rebounds and making a steal. She hit all three of her 3-point attempts, missed two other shots and went 1-for-2 from

the line.

The Cardinals opened the NCAA Tournament with an 81-62 win over Vanderbilt.

Burke had two points and two assists in 11 minutes. She was 0for-5 from the floor, missing four 3-pointers, and went 2-for-2 at the line.

AH tennis team setting season goals

BY RAFAEL PIMENTEL Abington Journal Correspondent

CLARKS SUMMIT - Coach Tom Lavelle and his Abington Heights High School Boys’ Tennis team return this season after making it to the first round of state championships last year. The team went 10-0 last season within their league and went 2-0 in playoffs before losing in the first round of states.

Although the team lost its number two singles’ player in Ken Doolittle and its number two doubles team, it retained some key players. In fact, the team kept number one player, Josh Palmer, a senior at Abington Heights High School.

According to Lavelle, Palmer has been the team’s top player since his freshman year. Palmer won in singles’ districts the past three years, won doubles’ in districts in his sophomore year, went undefeated last season up until his only loss at states, and won with his teammate in doubles’ at states, although it was not enough for the whole team to advance.

The loss of three key players means that there will be three new players in the starting lineup. Lavelle said he is awaiting the new lineup.

“It’s an exciting change. We’re definitely excited with the opportunity for new starters who had been on the team but were not able to start in the past.”

The team will be welcoming new players in one or two freshman. With the new team members and lineup changes, the season will center on a learning curve, according to Lavelle.

“We’ll be working on goal-setting, big picture goals and defining attainable goals for ourselves: learning to ‘play a point’ by being proactive on the court, creating offense as opposed to simply reacting and recognizing opportunities,” Lavelle said. “These are goals we can work on in practice, the fundamentals. If we can perfect those, that’s our window.”

Lavelle also mentioned the team’s excitement for competition this season.

“We’re excited for the upcoming season. There’s always some strong competition. We’ll be opening against Wallenpaupack, who always has a good team since they start playing tennis at the middle school level. The kids are well prepared. We’re not taking anything for granted this season.”

Area volleyball teams optimistic

BY DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@theabingtonjournal.com

With a number of players returning, both the Abington Heights and Lackawanna Trail high school volleyball teams are looking to improve on their records from last year, and hopefully finish with postseason success this year.

Abington Heights The Comets finished last season 12-4, and made it to the first round of the District playoffs.

The team, who had a starting lineup made up of mostly juniors last season,

Eric Washo serves in the Abington Heights scrimmage against Lackawanna Trail

lost only one player to graduation this season, cocaptain Kody Pasqualichio.

With six seniors returning, head coach Dan Phillips is optimistic about his team’s chances this season.

“It’s nice when you have that experience coming back,” said Phillips.

“These guys put in a lot of work in the offseason, at least half of our six returning, if not more, did club in the offseason, plus the open gyms that I run. The possibilities are really good, we just have to work hard and put our nose to the grind.”

Among the players returning this season are captains Dan Brazill and Andrew McLane.

“They were captains last year with Kody, so we went from tri-captains to cocaptains,” said Phillips.

“They’re sort of coaches in one aspect.”

And, despite the experience the team has coming back, Phillips said that with a group of promising newcomers this year, no one was a lock at any position for a starting assignment.

“Everything was open, that was one thing we said to them. We said, ‘guys,

you may have started varsity last year, that doesn’t mean you’re guaranteed a starting spot this year,’” said Phillips.

Phillips said with this year’s talent he is hopeful his team can return to the playoffs.

Lackawanna Trail The Lions finished 5-7 last year, just missing the playoffs. The team suffered a few more losses in players than Abington Heights this year, including Justin Shaw, Jake Bedford and Mike Harvey to graduation.

Even with the losses, the team does have a strong core group, middle setter Lyle Sweppenheiser, setter Don Demarest and middle hitter Jordan Rose, returning to the team.

“They all started before, and Jordan and Donny played AAU during the offseason,” said head coach Deb Wozniak.

In addition to the starters the team also has Dave Boslough, Matt Lochen, Mike DelPrete, Andy Dietrich and Mark Jenkins, as well as a number of promising newcomers filling up the roster this year.

“I think we have a lot of

potential,” said Wozniak.

“There are a lot of possibilities to try a lot of different things this year because we have 22 kids on the team. We really had a jump

in numbers. It’s nice to see that level of involvement.”

Wozniak said the team’s goal this year is to make the playoffs, and she feels they have the talent to do it.

Clarks Summit fighter remains unbeaten

BY TOM ROBINSON Abington Journal Correspondent

SCRANTON – James Cianci was tested, but he protected his unbeaten record Saturday night in the Pro Feature, the next-tolast bout of Cage Fight 7, a Mixed Martial Arts card at the IceBox Sports Complex.

Clarks Summit’s Cianci

admitted that fatigue was becoming a potential factor before he finished off Patrick Paulo (5-2) of Bloomsburg in the second round to improve to 5-0.

“He took me to a different stage of the fight that I haven’t been to before,” Cianci said after going through a hectic, five-minute first round to finish

Paulo on a rear naked chokehold tap-out at 1:55 of the second round. “I know what it’s like to be exhausted and go back in there.”

The win left Cianci, a 2004 Abington Heights graduate, with the impression that he will have to adjust his training to continue to move up in the

sport.

“I think I need to do more strength and conditioning work,” he said.

“I’ve just been doing sparring to take care of it.

“I think I’ll have to adjust and do more of that type of training separately.”

Adding to the test for Cianci Saturday was that he dropped down 10

pounds to fight at bantamweight (135 pounds).

“That takes a lot out of you,” he said. “I had to get in position where I could get a submission, but once it (the chokehold) was in, it was over.”

Cianci’s win was part of a card of three pro and 11 amateur bouts that drew a crowd of about 3,000.
