A FRIEND IN DEED
President views job as a privilege EDITOR’S NOTE: This article is one in a series profiling the presidents of clubs and organizations in the Abington area. BY KELLY MCDONOUGH Abington Journal Correspondent
Serving as president of the Friends of the Abington Community Library is an honor and good deed, according to Michael Tammaro, of Peckville. Tammaro talks about what an important resource the library is for the community and how The Friends of the Abington Community Library has been around as long as the library itself and is a separate entity from the library board. The Friends of the Abington Community Library is a volunteer-based organization designed to support the library by fostering interest in books and reading, focusing attention on library services, encouraging gifts of books and collections, and presenting programs of interest to the community fundraisers which enables it to contribute to the library
financially. This March will mark Tammaro’s second year as president. “The position was ofTAMMARO fered to me by the president before me. I said sure because it’s just a nice bit of prestige, I guess. That, and it gets me involved with the community more. I feel like I’m doing something good for the library,” he said. Tammaro never knew the Abington Community Library existed until he read an article about Pete Chapla who was showing movies at the library. “I love film and movies and decided to take a ride there. I became friends with Chapla and those coming to the films. They had a cook off contest and it was there I met The Friends of the Abington Community Library board members who asked me to volunteer for a book sale. Before I knew it, they asked me to join the board and that’s how it all
fell into place,” Tammaro explained. Though the organization sponsors a wine-tasting event once or twice a year as a fundraiser and as a thank you to the people who donate to The Friends of the Abington Community Library, the group’s major function is two book sales – one in October and April. These sales, according to Tammaro, bring in about $16,000 - money that is necessary to the library. That money usually goes to purchase books, supplies, DVDs and library materials. What it does not cover are library employee salaries and utilities. There is also a $500 scholarship to any college of choice each year available only to Abington Heights’ students. It’s based on a combination of things, including an essay. It is Tammaro’s job to allocate the funds for that and any other library usage of funds raised throughout the year. “One of the things I enjoy are the movies and speaker and lecture series the library
Interests and hobbies: Photography and videography. As my screen name implies I am a huge film buff. Going to art galleries and theatre. I’m inspired by: George Carlin Favorite place in the world: Sarasota, Florida Favorite book: The Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan My greatest achievement: Becoming the president of the Friends of the Abington Library. My idea of a perfect Saturday afternoon: Not working or being at home. One item I can’t leave home without: My cell phone. puts on,” Tammaro said. “It’s a great way to get the community together. In fact, I’ve been doing f ilm series at the library. I do themes. Fr example, for the 50th anniversary, I did a movie every month to spotlight every decade, starting with the 60s when the library came about.” Last spring, Tammaro conducted a f ilm series that focused on Meryl Streep and her movies and career. He hopes to do another f ilm series in March, perhaps, a Sophia Loren foreign f ilm theme. “I wanted to get involved
more socially and the Abington Community Library sparked something in me,” Tammaro said. The Friends group is currently in need of a secretary. Anyone interested in donating or volunteering time can contact Tammaro at 487.1194. Tammaro’s background includes some college where he studied communications at Mercer County College in Trenton, NJ. He has worked at Diversif ied Technologies based in Scranton on Montage Mountain for more than four years as an imaging specialist.

Area projects to be completed by Leadership Lackawanna
Leadership Lackawanna, the leadership development arm of The Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce, announced the four class projects to be completed during the 2011-2012 program year. As part of the 10-month Leadership Lackawanna (LL) core program, class participants complete various community service projects that help enhance participant’s leadership skills and help foster teamwork. All projects impact the community, address a need, result in a tangible end product and are completed by the end of the program year. The Class of 2011-2012 will complete the following community service projects which help to benefit four area nonprofit organizations: First Friday Scranton StArt! is a collaborative
project with First Friday Scranton which will further the revitalization efforts in downtown Scranton by uniting artists and building owners. The project will be twofold with a live art competition in May where the winners’ work will be unveiled in vacant storefront windows at the June First Friday. Gravity Slope Colliery Authority This project will restore one of the three historic buildings remaining on the Gravity Slope Colliery site in Archbald known as the “Oil House.” The building was used to store bulk shipments of oil that was then pumped into smaller containers to be transported by oilers for lubrication of mining cars, lifts, fans and gears and miners’ lamps. The project will consist of work on roof repair, ceiling
construction, door and window replacement, brickwork, graffiti removal, painting, new stairs and exterior site clean-up and landscaping. Scranton Civic Ballet Company This project consists of a one-day event where Northeastern Pennsylvania children will come together in downtown Scranton to participate and learn about the fun they can have being physically active.

School students show leadership in giving Seventh and eighth-grade students from Abington Christian Academy (ACA) delivered over four-hundred non-perishable items to the Scranton Rescue Mission the day before Thanksgiving. The idea for the food drive came from an Association for Christian Schools International (ACSI) Middle School Leadership Conference that the students attended in New Jersey last month. According to eighth-grader Eden Brock, the theme of the conference was Integrity. “Integrity means being the same person on the inside as you are on the outside,” says Brock. “We wanted to express our faith and our concern for people who don’t have enough to eat. We wanted our giving to reflect who we are inside.” To add excitement to the food drive, the junior high students offered a prize to the class thatbrought in the largest number of items with the prize going to the fifth- and sixth-grade class.

Sandy Spangler, left, and Mary Phillip recommend working out with a friend or group of friends.
“Because we come with other people we know…you kind of make each other come, and that helps,” said Spangler. “It’s very motivating to know that people are going to know if you don’t show up. “We try to encourage other people to come and be here together because it is a lot of fun,” she added One of the people Spangler encouraged to join the class was AHMS teacher Mary Phillips of Dunmore, who joined a year ago. Along with her peer support, credits her teacher for keeping her motivated. “He motivates us, and he’s very challenging, and you really leave with a sense of accomplishment when you’re done,” said Phillips. In addition to motivation, Zywicki explained that a teacher or trainer could be a valuable tool for anyone new to working out when it comes time to develop an
exercise program. “If you don’t know what you’re doing, get a personal trainer, or at least get some advice from someone who knows what they’re doing so that they can help you build a program that you feel comfortable with, you understand the exercises, you know how do the exercises, and that it has variation,” said Zywicki. “That’s a mistake, people don’t add variation. Every week they’re doing the same exercises over and over again, and you’re never going to see results like that. Your body is just going to get used to it,” he added Zywicki went on to say that many gyms offer a few free sessions with a trainer, and those who can, should take advantage of that. For those who don’t have access to a trainer, Zywicki recommended doing some type of research on workout programs before starting.

2012 has already dawned – and perhaps you “rocked it in” thanks to Scranton’s First Night. But whether you celebrated or not, best wishes and all good for this new year come to you from the Dalton Community Library, its board, staff and friends. 2012 may begin slowly (in terms of programs at our library), but certainly no less enthusiastically. A special winter reading program for youngsters (and parents) from birth to age 11 begins on January 9 and extends to February 17. It’s called “Warm up with a Good Book” and it involves keeping a log of all reading you’re doing. On February 17, you’ll submit your log to Janet Geeza – or one of the other staff – and you, or the child or children you’ve read to, will be eligible for prizes. There are plenty of great picture books, story and chapter books available at the library and if you can’t find a particular book or one by a favorite author, it may be available within the system and should be in your hands a few days after you’ve requested it. This is one of the great benefits of our county library system. Although our weekly preschoolers’ Story Hour, Tuesdays at 1 p.m., won’t resume until February 6, there will be a very “Special Story Hour” on Tuesday, Jan. 24 at 1 p.m. A guest reader from Friendship House is coming to read to the children and it promises to be

For some, the beginning of a new year means it’s time for New Year’s resolutions, and one of the most popular resolutions is getting in better shape. Brian Zywicki, a personal trainer with HITFitness and cycling teacher at Sickler’s Bike and Sports Shop in Clarks Summit, traditionally sees a spike in businesses during the first few months of the year, but anywhere from 60 to 75 percent of those newcomers end up quitting on their resolution fairly early. “There’s a number of reasons (people don’t last),” said Zywicki. “I’d say the number one reason is people will get frustrated because either they don’t see results or they’re measuring the wrong results.” The results on which many of his clients are measuring their success are the numbers on the scale, and they usually get frustrated when the numbers aren’t getting lower. Zywicki explained it’s important for people just starting out to realize that they generally won’t see results until six or eight weeks, and possibly not the results they were expecting. “A lot of people have a hard time with the concept that muscle weighs more than fat,” said Zywicki. “I try to always explain that the more muscle you build, the more fat that’s going to burn in the long run. “I try to tell people that you may not see the numbers on the scale but think about how your pants fit, think about how your shirt fits, think about that kind of thing, and start there, because you’re going to start seeing physical things first, before you ever start seeing numbers change,” he added Another popular reason why some people, who work out by themselves, end up quitting is pure boredom. For this, several of Zywicki’s cycling students recommended working out with a buddy. Abington Heights Middle School teacher and Clarks Summit resident Sandy Spangler joined the class two years ago after hearing good things about the class from her friend and co-worker, Amy Lange. The two began attending the class with a group of friends, and Spangler credits that with her sticking with it.

AH grad graduates basic military training
Local PSWS professor studies ‘greening’ of supply chain practices Dr. Michael D. Michalisin, Professor of Management and Business Program Coordinator at Penn State Worthington Scranton and South Abington Township resident, presented a paper he co-authored, entitled “Sustained Competitive Advantage through Green Supply Chain Management Practices: A Natural-Resource-Based View Approach,” at the 2011 Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management. Supply chain management (SCM) is playing a more central role in helping firms gain and sustain a competitive advantage in today’s business landscape. One of the demands confronting firms and their supply chain members is the deterioration of the earth’s environment and the pace at which society is consuming the planet’s finite resources. As a result, stakeholders are putting intense pressure on firms to conduct business in ways that promote environmental sustainability. The ability of firms to offer eco-friendly goods and services, and do so in environmentally sustainable ways, will require the cooperation of the firm’s supply chain partners, whose supplies (and activities in generating supplies) can significantly affect the environmental impact of the firm’s final product. Consequently, there is growing pressure for more environmentally sound practices to be integrated into supply chain activities. This paper identifies the types of key resources and capabilities underlying green supply chain management (GSCM)
practices for implementing pollution prevention, product stewardship and sustainable development strategies and then demonstrates why they possess the characteristics of strategic assets and distinctive competencies, respectively, and thus are sources of sustainable competitive advantage. The study also provides implications for managers. First, top management should consider greening their firm’s supply chain, not only to comply with regulations, but also to be more competitive and further improve their firm’s performance. The adoption of comprehensive green supply chain management practices will distinguish the firm and its supply chain partners from other supply chains in the business. And second, managers can use the framework developed in this paper as a template in developing best practices. They could refer to this framework to incrementally increase the span of their green practices to incorporate their upstream supply chain partners as well as their downstream partners. In doing so, their firm will engage in system-wide green activities that would benefit every member of the supply chain. A graduate of Penn State with a BS in accounting, Dr. Michalisin received his MBA in finance from Duquesne University and his Ph.D. in strategic management and macro-organizational theory from Kent State University. He is a licensed CPA and has worked in industry at Ernst and Young LLP, Westinghouse and Finalco Group, Inc.

Diocese of Scranton hosting vocation discernment weekend in February The Diocese of Scranton Vocation Office is hosting a weekend of discernment for young men in high school and beyond, ages 16 to 30, Friday-Sunday, Feb. 10-12 at Fatima Center, 1000 Seminary Rd., Dalton. The weekend is designed to assist them in recognizing whether God is inviting them to step forward to offer their
lives as diocesan priests. The program includes a presentation on the basics of praying into God’s will for us, testimony from current seminarians, celebration of Mass, personal prayer, and fraternity. “Many young men have imagined the possibility of being a priest one day. Many have been told by others that
they possess the qualities that would make a good priest. Often as young men consider their future, the idea of priesthood occurs over and over again, even as they look to other possible careers or to the married life,” said Father Jim Rafferty, Diocesan vocation director. “Frequently, young men find peace around their
search to know where God is leading them by talking about their interest in priesthood and by listening to the experience of those who have already decided to enter seminary to become priests.” For more information, contact Father Rafferty at 207.1452 or email RevJames-Rafferty@dioceseofscranton.org.

Breaking the habit The new year can mean a new start for some looking to make a change in their life. And for those hoping to make quitting smoking that change, Dipti S. Pancholy, MD, is offering a few helpful tips. She writes in an email that the first major requirement to quit smoking is making the decision to do it. After that, individuals should write down why it is important for them specifically that they stop smoking. Is it bad breath, or child who has asthma, higher insurance premiums or higher risk of lung cancer, stroke or heart attack? Next, they should set the quit date. Then they should line up a support team, and tell important people in their life about that date, especially a doctor, spouse, friends, coworker and siblings. She warns that cold turkey is not for everyone, and a doctor may be able to provide the guidelines for use of nicotine gum or inhaler or medications to help the attempt be more successful, and said that people who have a coach are twice as likely to quit successfully. Pennslvania’s Free Smoking Quitline, 1.877.724.1090 is another resource that can help. Dr. Pancholy also wants people who try to remember that if they don’t succeed, the attempt is still considered a success. The majority of ex-smokers have made several attempts.

OBITUARIES
With Jane Julius Honchell SEE JANE READ
‘The Giving Tree’ emphasizes sacrifice Shel Silverstein just keeps on giving. In his classic tale of love, generosity and sacrifice, “The Giving Tree,” Silverstein tells the touching story of a tree that loves a little boy so dearly that it sacrifices all of itself to nurture and protect the child, even providing the boy with firewood after it dies. While the boy in the story fails to appreciate all the tree has done for him, readers young and old will be thankful for an unexpected gift from the poet, illustrator, singer and songwriter, who died in 1999 at the age of 67. Thanks to a collaboration among his friends, family, and publisher, HarperCollins, “Everything on It,” a collection of 145 of Silverstein’s previously unpublished poems and drawings came out this year, just in time for the holidays. This posthumous work has many of the characteristics that made his earlier books, such as “Where the Sidewalk Ends,” and “A Light in the Attic,” so endearing to readers of all ages. Like “Where the Sidewalk Ends,” my children’s personal favorite, the new book combines silliness with the sophisticated word-play and use of sound that marks Silverstein as a true poet. Take “A Car with Legs,” for example: A car with legs Instead of wheels Wears out soles But never tires. I’m sure that you Can well afford her – She’s in perfect Running order. Just in case a child might miss the joke, the poem is accompanied by an illustration of a little convertible propelled by four enormous legs decked out in running shoes. Kids in particular will also continue to love the ghoulish quality of some of the poems. People in Silverstein’s poems have a way of disappearing, dying, or meeting the grizzly fates they deserve, but the humor keeps us from feeling too bad about these unfortunates. A favorite of my elder child appears in “Where the Sidewalk Ends.” Back when she was presented with a baby brother, she loved “Dreadful,” which begins with the line “Someone ate the baby,” and ends with “I simply can’t imagine who/ Would go and (burp) eat the baby.” His most recent volume, “How Hungry is Polly?” predicts the demise of a little girl who says, “I’m so hungry I could eat a horse.” Her remark prompts a tired old nag grazing nearby to retaliate, saying: “And when I get insulted/ My appetite runs wild,/ And now I feel so hungry,/I could eat a child.” Another quality that makes children laugh out loud is the gentle naughtiness of some offerings. In Silverstein’s poems, kids belch, scratch, pick their noses, have bad breath and get heroically filthy. He also understood how much children (and, I suspect, some adults) adore poop jokes. In this volume, a puppy obediently poops on a newspaper – while someone is reading it,
WWW.THEABINGTONJOURNAL.COM
and in “Investigating,” a professor trying to figure out “Just how the elephant’s tail was tied/Onto the elephant’s leathery hide” gets an enormous surprise. Need I say more? While young readers love this sort of low humor, they also like Silverstein’s wonderful list poems. My kids were crazy about “Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take the Garbage Out,” from “Where the Sidewalk Ends.” Not only does it have a rollicking rhythm, but it also features a two-page list of all the garbage that piles up. In “Everything on It,” poems such as “Twenty-Eight Uses for Spaghetti,” “The Dance of the Shoes” and “Food” offer more of the same pleasures and demonstrate the poet’s wonderful imagination. One of the reasons adults appreciate Silverstein’s books is that he manages to work in, without being overtly moralistic, many lessons on how to behave, how to look behind a person’s exterior to see his or her true worth and about how to think for oneself. Classic examples include “Rude Rudy Reese,” “Yesees and Noees,” and “In Her…” a poem about a woman who dresses entirely in clothing made from animals. We see her hypocrisy in the illustration - she carries a sign that becomes the poem’s last line: “Save the Whales.” Silverstein was a brilliant wordsmith, but many of the jokes and much of the fun in this and his previous books come from his matchless black-and-white illustrations. You have to see his intricate line drawings to appreciate their humor, but I will tell you that in “Everything on It,” the punch line of many of the poems is visual. For instance, in “The Hat,” a man wears a tall top hat and on the next page, we see why - he has an amazingly tall head. For all its fun and games, “Everything on It” also has a hint of sadness that will touch readers who have loved Silverstein’s work. The book ends with a poem called “When I Am Gone” that asks readers who will write and draw for them when the poet is gone, but ends on an encouraging note by suggesting that his replacement may be themselves. For me, the saddest, sweetest poem in the collection is the one that opens the book. “Years from Now” almost reads as a sort of benediction: Although I cannot see your face As you flip these poems awhile, Somewhere from some far-off place I hear you laughing – and I smile. So read this book, share it with children you love, and laugh, just as Shel Silverstein would have wanted you to do with this, his unexpected gift.

Prep school schedules scholarship exam for February Area eighth and ninthgraders not already enrolled at Wyoming Seminary College Preparatory School are invited to register for the Wyoming Seminary Scholarship Exam, to be held Saturday, Feb. 4 at the school’s Kingston campus. For 31 years, Wyoming Seminary has awarded merit scholarships to excellent students interested in attending Northeastern Pennsylvania’s premier college preparatory school. Up to 10 fouryear scholarships will be awarded, including one full tuition scholarship, two two-
thirds tuition scholarships, three half-tuition scholarships and four $5,000 scholarships. These merit scholarships are awarded to students who combine outstanding performance on the competitive exam with a solid record of citizenship and academic and extra-curricular achievement. For each subsequent year while attending Wyoming Seminary, these students receive the same amount. Interested students must complete the Sem Scholarship application by Friday, Jan. 27 and register for the
exam. There is no registration fee. Registration will be at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 4 and the exam will be given at 9:30 a.m. at the Upper School campus. During the exam, parents are encouraged to attend a discussion led by Harvie Ruggles, Wyoming Seminary’s Director of College Guidance, on how to maximize their students’ chances for college opportunities.

Pond improvements mean no skating, hockey at BBC Improvements to make the Baptist Bible College and Seminary campus pond off Venard Road fresher and more pristine year-round have eliminated winter skating and hockey from the site. A special aeration system with five units and underwater pipes has been installed in the iconic pond. Its continuous functioning will keep the pond fresher and more pristine yearround. The new process is expected to prevent the pond from completely freezing. The lack of
thick ice will prohibit past activities, such as skating, hockey and sliding, from continuing. The college’s signature pond and the surrounding area is a popular recreation spot for community members. Walkers and joggers frequently use many of the paths on campus for exercise. Other recent improvements have included general cleanup in and around the pond. Baptist Bible College and Seminary is located at 538 Benard Rd., Clarks Summit.

Who plays Henrik Vanger in the new film "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo"?
Last week, over 15 young artists came out to the Dietrich and participated in Holiday Camp for children ages 5 to 12 years old. With guidance from instructors Amy and Steve Colley, they learned how to throw pots on potter’s wheels and created unique 3-D collages from recycled household items. I was quite amazed by the creativity of these students. One student fashioned a giraffe out of toilet paper rolls, a rotisserie chicken container and a yogurt cup. Another student designed a bird from a plastic cup, toilet paper rolls and a few other items. Their 3-D masterpieces were whimsical and full of life. If yo’re looking for art classes to spark your child’s creativity and imagination, Amy and Steve will offer a variety of visual art classes for children this winter at the Dietrich. Students will be able to explore pottery and sculpture, puppetry and 3-D collage. The focus of the January classes will be on pottery and sculpture. During these classes, students will learn to work with potter’s wheels, develop hand-building (coil and slab construction) techniques and create sculptures. For children ages 5 to 8, All About Pottery & Sculpture will be held on Fridays, Jan. 13-Feb. 3 from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Students ages 9 to 12 years old can attend similar classes from 4 to 5:30 p.m. on Thursdays, Jan. 12-Feb. 2. Even very young artists can learn. In Pottery & Sculpture Together, 3 and 4-year-olds and their favorite adults will explore with clay on Fridays, Jan. 13-Feb. 3 from 10 to 10:45 a.m. Preschool pottery for ages 4 and 5 will be offered on Thursdays, Jan. 12-Feb.2 from 10 to 10:45 a.m. Admission to each four-class series is $35. Adults and teens will also be able to experience working with the medium of clay in our Pottery & Sculpture for Beginners series on Thursday nights from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Instructor Steve Colley will show students how to work on potter’s wheels as well as sculpting techniques.

TAYLOR - West Scranton jumped out to a 17-4 lead at the end of the first quarter and never trailed in the contest, defeating Lackawanna Trail, 43-25, in the consolation game of the girls’ Taylor Lions Tournament at Patrick C. Revello Gymnasium on Wednesday, Dec. 28. “We came out and were real effective defensively,” West Scranton head coach Leo Ciullo said. “We were seeing the ball well and we got a couple turnovers. We went on a little run and got the lead going into halftime.” The Lady Invaders were led by center Katie Hart. The sophomore scored 17 points, grabbed nine rebounds and blocked five shots. “She’s doing a good job getting open,” Ciullo said. “She’s showing the girls where the ball needs to be and our guards are doing a good job getting her the basketball.” Marissa Pazzaglia, also a sophomore, added 10 points, seven rebounds and six steals. “She brings a lot of energy to our team and is becoming more effective offensively as the season goes on,” Ciullo said. Both Hart and Pazzaglia were selected to the all-tournament team for West Scranton. Natasha Pacholec, an alltournament selection, led the Lady Lions with five points and five rebounds. Shannon Jones added four points and eight rebounds for Trail. West Scranton (4-4) started the second quarter on a 7-2 run, but Lackawanna Trail scored the final four points. The Lady Lions then opened the second half on a 4-0 run to cut the lead to 24-14 with 6:32 left in the third quarter, but the Lady Invaders scored the next five points to regain a comfortable advantage. West Scranton forced Lackawanna Trail into 27 turnovers, including 11 in the first quarter. “It was good defensive pressure, but I don’t think we were mentally ready in the first quarter,” Lackawanna Trail head coach Errol Mannick said. “We had a few mistakes in the beginning and got into a hole. That was the difference in the game.” See Lady Lions, Page 13

In her first season on the swim team, Abington Heights High School freshman Rachel Smertz already haz a positive impact on the team’s success. BY ROBERT TOMKAVAGE rtomkavage@theabingtonjournal.com
“I think she will do really well in districts, definitely in the top three,” said AHHS swim coach Mary Gromelski.
CLARKS SUMMIT Freshman swimmer Rachel Smertz, 14, has been a key part of the Lady Comets’ success this season. Abington Heights head coach Mary Gromelski thinks Smertz’ strong work ethic has led to her early accomplishments. She finished first in the 200 individual medley in the Lady Comets 100-84 win over Dallas on Dec. 13. In the Lady Comets 101-83 loss to Hazleton Area on Dec. 15, she finished second in the 100 backstroke. Smertz had three wins in the Lady Comets’ 113-72 win over Wyoming Valley West (500 free, 200 individual medley, and 200 medley relay) on Dec. 22. “She’s dedicated and a hard worker,” Gromelski said. “The whole team is pretty much working really hard and pushing each other. She has a great attitude. She wants it and loves it. She likes doing it and I think it shows in her performance. She’s really doing a great job as a freshman.” Despite being young, Gromelski thinks Smertz can be a big factor in the postseason.
“I think she will do really well in districts, definitely in the top three,” Gromelski said. According to Gromelski, Smertz is a valuable asset to the team because of her versatility. “Right now, we’re just playing around and learning about her,” Gromelski said. “She’s really a utility for us. Wherever we have put her, she’s really met the challenge. She started off very strong in the backstroke, that was her strongest event as an age-group swimmer, but we’re also finding out other things she can do.” Smertz started swimming competitively at a young age and fell in love with the sport. “I started when I was 5 years old in the age-group swim league,” she said. She enjoys going up against the other athletes and the bond she has developed with her teammates. “I like the competitiveness (of the sport) and my team,” Smertz said. Although she’s only a freshman, Smertz has adjusted well to the varsity level. “I think my endurance and

experience is helping me,” she said. She credits the coaching staff for improving her technique and for encouragement after meets. “They help me when I’m down after having a bad race and they help me perfect my strokes,” she said of the coaches. The Clarks Summit resident hopes to keep improving throughout the season and peak toward the end. “I just want to improve, drop times and get my best times at districts,” Smertz said. Smertz is also a member of the tennis and track and field teams at Abington Heights. Last March, as a member of the Abington Gators 14 and Under swim team, Smertz, along with Morgan Muller, Sydney Gualtieri and Krista Brickel, broke the record time in the 200-free relay previously set in 1999. Smertz is the daughter of Michele and Alan Smertz and resides in Clarks Summit. The Lady Comets will be in action on Jan. 10 at 4:30 p.m. when they travel to Elk Lake High School.
SCRANTON - Abington Heights claimed its fourth championship while playing in its seventh straight final in the Ninth Annual Lynett Memorial Tournament. Tiffany O’Donnell and Breanna Toro were part of a balanced offense and contributed to a strong defensive effort that carried Abington Heights to a 39-29 victory in the final, held on Dec. 27. The game matched the two Lackawanna League teams with the best overall records this season and the most impressive recent histories. Dunmore, the last unbeaten from the league, suffered its first loss since last season’s state Class AA championship game. The Lady Bucks (6-1) have won the last six Lackawanna Division 2 and District 2 Class AA titles. Abington Heights finished the night on a sixgame winning streak and with the best overall record among league teams at 7-1. The Lady Comets had won four straight Lackawanna Division 1 titles before falling short last season when they still managed to win a second straight district title, claiming the Class AAAA championship. The Lady Comets opened the tournament with a fourth-quarter rally for a 48-34 victory over defending champion Scranton Prep. They locked up the title by shutting down a Dunmore rally, thanks to a defensive adjustment that changed O’Donnell’s assignment to Alexa Gerchman in the man-to-man defense. Gerchman drew a third foul on Lauren Hoyt by posting up and continued to set up down low, forcing Abington Heights coach Vince Bucciarelli to acknowledge it would be dangerous to keep Hoyt there defensively. “We felt like (Tiffany) would be a little stronger down there and she didn’t have the three fouls,” Bucciarelli said. O’Donnell held Gerchman, Dunmore’s alltournament representative, without a field goal for the final 13 minutes. She matched Katherine Rosencrance for the Abington Heights scoring lead with eight points and was named as the See Lady Comets , Page 13

From story times to craft times to game and trivia nights, the Abington Community Library at 1200 W. Grove St. in Clarks Summit, is much more than a place from which to borrow books - especially for children. Lori Kareha, of Clarks Green, said she and her children enjoy visits to the library together every other week. Her oldest son, Brady, 7, participates regularly in various after-school activities there, such as Story Hour. When asked what he enjoys most about visiting the library, Brady said, “Getting books.” Then he added, “And story time.” Kareha said the programs at the library have aided her son a lot in learning to read, and she believes he is one of the best readers in his class because of it. Brady also participates in a “Make-it, Take-it” Craft Time. Some of the things Kareha said Brady remembers from the craft times are making an apple sun-catcher and planting a corn seed and watching it grow. “Mrs. McGrath always has great craft ideas,” she said

“Mommy, mommy! I’m going to the playroom!” This enthusiasm for visiting the library is common among its young patrons, and McGrath said the children’s staff has a variety of fun activities and programs planned for them through mid-February. One is a winter reading club which will be held from January 9 through February 17. She said the theme of the reading club will be “Warm up with a good book” and the idea behind it is to give children something to do while the weather is too cold to play outdoors. “We want to encourage visits to the library,” she said. “And it’s a nice place to come when it’s cold outside.” Instead of including a set list of books to read, McGrath said the Winter Reading Club will provide incentives for participants to read books of their own choosing. She wants the program to feel more personal to each individual.
