Supervisors are in support of HB 955 SOUTH ABINGTON TOWNSHIP - South Abington Twp. manager David O’Neill announced at the board of supervisors meeting, on Jan. 23 that the township support the re-authorization of the House Bill 955 PA fire and EMs Grant. House Bill 955 would reauthorize and extend the Volunteer Fire/EMS Department Grant Program. O’Neill read a letter written by supervisor Mark Dougherty addressed to State Representative Kevin Murphy, Governor Tom Corbett and Senator John Blake, expressing support for re-authorization. Following the reading, Dougherty explained that fire companies across the state apply for the grant every year. The letter was unanimously approved and signed by the board. “This year alone, we applied for a $15,000 grant for the fire side,” said O’Neill. “We were notified last week that the fire company got $12,500. On the EMS side, we applied for $10,000 and they got almost $6,000, so it’s a very worthwhile program in the state.” O’Neill also discussed a proposed update of the current township pave cut ordinance, previously approved in 1985. According to O’Neill, the original ordinance requires, “anybody making a pave cut (to) actually just restore what was there.” He explained that municipalities across the state are starting to adapt to the state code which, in some cases, requires a company restoring more than 100 linear feet to pave half a lane of the

When sports fans settle in front of their televisions to watch the New York Giants take on the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI this Sunday, one area native will be almost as close to the action as you can get. Former Clarks Summit resident and 2006 Abington Heights High School graduate Conor Orr will travel to Indianapolis, Indiana to cover the game for the New Jersey-based newspaper, The StarLedger. A graduate of Syracuse University where he majored in journalism, Orr began working for The Star-Ledger a few days after graduation in May 2010 and quickly found his niche with the publication. “I bounced around in the beginning doing general assignments, but then in October (2010) they put me on the (New York) Jets beat and I’ve been in sports since,” said Orr. When the Jets failed to make the playoffs, Orr began traveling with the Giants. After the Giants grabbed a 24-2 win over the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC wild-card playoffs, Orr began to believe the team had a shot. “The way they beat the Falcons I started thinking they could probably go all the way,” Orr said of the Giants. His hunch proved correct. The Giants followed up the win over the Falcons by defeating the Green Bay Packers, 37-20, and the San Francisco 49ers, 20-17, on the road to advance to play the Patriots in a rematch of Super Bowl XLII. At just 23 years of age, Orr is facing the biggest assignment of his young career. Even with two seasons of covering the NFL (National Football League) under his belt, he’s not completely sure what to expect this weekend. “I expect it to be a completely See Super Bowl, Page 10
MEET THE PRESIDENT
Supporting the heart of the community EDITOR’S NOTE This article is one in a series profiling the presidents of clubs and organizations in the Abington area. KELLY MCDONOUGH Abington Journal Correspondent
As President of the Abington Heights Civic League, Inc., Susan Burke heads a woman’s organization that supports community through its volunteerism. The group is celebrating 80 years of service to the greater Abington area through programming and advocacy efforts. The organization supports many civic projects in the community, including The Abington Community Library, The Community Garden, The Abington Heights Joint Recreation Board
and local parks and fire companies. “We organized and federated in 1931 as the Abington Juniors Club,” Burke said. “We became a 501 C3 nonprofit in 2008 and a member of the Greater Susan Burke Federation of Women’s Club and General Federation of Women’s Club Pennsylvania. Currently, the club has 75 members and Burke said it’s an incredible group that allows her to do her job as a facilitator. Some of the things she facilitates are through neighborhood schools. The Abington Heights Civic League, Inc. sponsors the annual kindergarten vision screening program, the kindergarten classroom Christmas
trees, voter registration packets and scholarships for graduating seniors. It promotes projects dedicated to conservation, education, health and safety, children’s advocacy and public affairs, and members network with other regional non-profit organizations that work to advance community improvement and public welfare. Burke said the work done through fundraising efforts and dedicated volunteers of the Abington Heights Civic League, Inc. makes a difference in the lives of many in the community. All proceeds from the Abington Heights Civic League Dance Academy’s recital is donated to a local family that is experiencing financial difficulties due to a medical problem and has unexpected expenses as a result. “The Abington Heights Civic
League Dance Academy is, by far, the organization’s biggest project,” said Burke. In 1957, the doors to the dance academy opened for children ages 3 to 18 (currently ages 4 to 18 are accepted). The idea was to offer affordable dance classes in order to expose children to the arts. The studio offers classes six days a week that run September through early May. Classes offered include ballet, tap, jazz and lyrical.” Burke enjoys being president of the organization because it does so many wonderful things…things that are centered in the Abingtons. “I was honored to be able to be president and knew it was a great women’s organization,” she said. “We are currently exploring auctions hoping to own our own building and hope to house our dance academy, hold meetings and open space
to offer other organizations to use for their business.” Meetings are held September through June on the first Monday of the month at 7:30 p.m. at the Civic League Building at the The Colburn Complex, 115 Colburn Ave., Clarks Summit. Women ages 18 and older are welcome to join. More information is available at GFWCAHCL@tripod.com. Burke is a graduate of Abington Heights High School and received a certificate from the American Institute of Paralegals. She was a paralegal at the Casey Law Firm which has now merged with Elliott Greeleaf Dean Law Firm. She has been married to Tim Burke, postmaster of the Dalton Post Office, for nearly 20 years and has three children, Jamie, 25; Michael, 17; and Abbey, 16. Burke resides in South Abington Township.

words he doesn’t know” in the dictionary. He has already begun to prepare for the second round, a regional spelling bee to be held at the Woodland’s Inn in Plains Township on March 11. “At night after I finish my homework, my dad takes the dictionary and quizzes me on random words,” Iyengar said. “If I don’t know it or know how to spell it, (the word) he’ll show me the dictionary and he’ll make me spell it after I’ve seen it to be sure I know it.” Sometimes he knows the spelling of the words he encounters and if he doesn’t, he will sound out the word. To further prepare , he also refers to a word list on The Scripps National Spelling Bee web site. The National Spelling Bee will be held from May 27 to June 1 near Washington, D.C. Last year, Sukanya Roy, then a 14-year-old eighth-grade student at Abington Heights Middle School, won the National Spell-
ing Bee. According to the Scripps web site, the purpose of the bee is to help students improve their spelling, increase their vocabularies, learn concepts and develop correct English usage that will help them all their lives. The Times Leader has been a sponsor of the Scripps Spelling Bee since 1984, noted Joe Butkiewicz, Vice President and Executive Editor of The Times Leader. “We’re very proud to have the ultimate national winner represent the region but every year is a success because the students have a chance to compete and test their best efforts,” said Butkiewicz.

SCOTT TOWNSHIP - With recent concerns over the condition of the high school roof discovered on a recent tour by board members, the Lakeland School Board voted on Jan. 18 to allow and authorize the preparation of a bid for replacement of the high school roof by Performance Roofing Associates. Jason Bertocki, a representative of Performance Roofing, told the board he remembered when he walked the halls of the school 20 years ago, the roof leaked then and he is concerned over its current state. Board member Stanley Stracham said the board is currently investigating the price of the roofing project as well as all that is involved and is hopeful that it will have a full review of the project at its February 15 meeting The roof was not the only concern brought to the board, as there is a mold condition in the building as well. Stracham stated he did not feel the mold was as big an issue as people are stating. “I don’t feel the mold is as serious as it is being noted by parents but if there is an issue with mold we will handle it,” said Stracham. “You have to know that when you have water and dust and also heat, these factors can create mold.” Jackie Flynn, a senior at the high school, cannot attend classes at the school because she has a severe allergy to mold. Flynn’s mother Kaily, urged the board to do whatever it can so her daughter can return to the building and enjoy her senior year. Stracham informed Flynn that the board will doing what it can to solve the issue. The board also heard from board member Casey Patuk, a Scott Township police officer, in regard to the fact that the school is one of the few school districts in the area that does not have a student resource officer. Patuk noted that a student resource officer is important to the school and can have duties such as parking enforcement, drug enforcement and teaching subjects in safety and drug awareness, as well. After hearing Patuk’s presentation, the board agreed to create a student resource officer position and to look into an appointment of someone at a rate of $20.02 per hour.

titious environmental group seeking an injunction against a pharmaceutical company. The students play the roles of lawyers, witnesses, plaintiffs and defendants. Lawyers and community leaders serve on the juries and determine the winners of the mock trials. “Participating students learn about our justice system and then put that knowledge into practice in front of real-life judges, lawyers and business professionals,” said Hope Guy, chair of the Young Lawyers Division, in the news release. “During their mock trial experience, students gain valuable presentation and critical-thinking skills that can be put to good use at college and in many types of future careers.” Ratchford,, who won Top Attorney Award in the invitational, said he hopes to someday be a lawyer, like his father, Thomas Ratchford. He is also a member of the Abington Heights Future Business Leaders of America and placed second for business law in the regionals held recently at Keystone College. Laboranti said when Ratchford is in front of
the judge and jury, he is “the three C’s: calm, cool and collected,” thinking on his feet and listening intently to the opposing side, then performing his cross-examinations. “His demeanor is one that is easy to work with,” she said, “because he is naturally inquisitive and goes beyond just the ‘black and white’ aspects of the case. He is a team member who always helps his fellow students and has a positive attitude.” Fried, who won Top Witness Award, is another accomplished member of the team and one of the youngest. He participates in a number of other school activities, such as the forensics team, the marching band and the Interact Group and is the freshman class president. What Fried likes most about Mock Trial is its complicated nature. “I like complex situations,” he said, “and this is, by far, the most challenging thing intellectually I’ve ever participated in.” Playing the role of a witness takes a lot more effort than one would think, he said, and it involves some acting, a lot of quick thinking and various critical skills. He feels
it has also helped him learn to speak more profoundly, eliminating words such as “like” and “um” from his vocabulary. Laboranti described Fried as the team’s “comic relief,” adding that he is also one of the hardest working students on the team. “His biggest assets,” she said, “are his adaptability and his positive energy. He is able to digest new material and come up with new creative approaches to our case theory.” She said all the students and the team, as a whole, have many strengths, including the ability to overcome whatever obstacles are thrown their way, the ability to recognize each other’s strengths and weaknesses and implement constructive criticism and good sportsmanship. Not only is each individual student valuable to the team, but each of the coaches are, as well. Ratchford expressed appreciation for the hard work and coaching put into the team by Laboranti, Jake Gilboy, an Abington Heights teacher, and Joe Barrett, who acts as the team’s attorney advisor.

After a disturbance at the music hall, Hannay meets Annabella Smith, who is on the run from foreign agents. He takes her back to his apartment, but they are followed, and later that night Annabella is murdered. Hannay is forced to go on the run to break the spy ring and prove his innocence.

The international traveling exhibit “Posing Beauty in African American Culture” opens at the Everhart Museum on Friday, Feb. 3 . The exhibit will be on display through April 1 during regular museum hours. On loan from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, “Posing Beauty” explores contemporary understandings of beauty by framing the notion of aesthetics, race, class and gender within art, popular culture and political contexts. This exhibit features approximately 84 works drawn from public and private collections and is accompanied by a book published by W.W. Norton. Also opening on Feb. 3 at the Everhart will be “Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder: Student Art.” Students from throughout Northeast Pennsylvania were invited to submit self portraits and other work as they explored the notion of “what is beauty?” as a means to illustrate how contemporary

In addition to its ongoing regional outreach, the museum has partnered, for the first time, with Scranton’s Sister City, Ballina in County Mayo, Ireland. Museum staff and community partners worked with the Ballina Arts Centre to showcase student work on both sides of the Atlantic. Following its display at the Everhart, “Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder” will travel to the Ballina Arts Centre later in 2012. This project is part of a continuing effort by the Everhart Museum to nurture creativity and showcase artistic excellence by the youth of our region. This collaborative art project emerged from an October 2010 visit by Maureen McGuigan, Lackawanna County Deputy Director of Arts & Culture, to the Ballina Arts Centre.

has not directed an Agatha Christie play for the Actors Circle season. “This is very different from an Agatha Christie play,” Bisignani said of “The 39 Steps.” “A play like Agatha Christie is done very seriously. There might be some humor in it…sometimes, she might plant some funny things in the dialogue or the blocking, but this is a totally different matter. It’s Pythonesque.” In addition to the difference in tone, Bisignani said there is also an increase in freedom with the material this year. He explained that whereas some plays require it to be done exactly as written, “The 39 Steps” actually came with a note from Barlow, telling the director and actors to have fun with the material. Despite this flexibility, Bisignani, a fan of the

The Dietrich Theater, 60 E.Tigoa St., Tunkhannock, will begin its five-day run of the play “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” on Wednesday, March 21. Based on the novel by Ken Kesey and adapted for the stage by Dale Wasserman, the play, directed by Jennifer Jenkins, follows a rowdy misfit, Randle P.

When the play was on Broadway, the cast featured only four actors with three playing multiple roles. The Actors Circle has decided to expand the cast to 14.

Actors will still double up on roles, but with a larger cast more characters have a chance to be on stage at the same time than they would with a cast of only four. “It gives a different flavor to the play. It becomes more like a play,” said Bisignani. “I’m sure the New York play was extremely well done, but I really think it adds to it.”

It should be a blast.” Before leaving for the trip, Orr said he was grateful for the opportunity and credits his parents, Jeff and Carole Orr, with helping him get to this point in his career. “My parents always pushed me in this direction…and helped me realize that this is what I wanted to do,” he said. Orr said his parents noticed his ability to strike up a conversation with anyone, and felt that would be a valuable asset in the field of journalism. That, coupled with his interest and knowledge of sports, which was partially gained while playing for the Comets football team during his four years at Abington Heights High School, gave him the tools he needed for his chosen profession. The New York Giants will take on the New England Patriots at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana, home of the Indianapolis Colts, on Sunday, Feb. 5 at 6 p.m. The game will be televised on NBC.

road instead of simply restoring it. O’Neill pointed to a recent restoration project on Meadow Creek Road with Aqua Pennsylvania as an example of why the township should consider such an adaptation. “We did as much as possible working with them (Aqua Pennsylvania) to try to get them to restore some of the side areas that the trucks had run over,” he said. “Thankfully, they didn’t argue, but we didn’t have a leg to stand on.” O’Neill stated that he, landscape architect Jack Shire and supervisor Joseph Sproul would look over the ordinance and consider an update. Also discussed at the meeting was an application for a dirt and gravel road grant through the Lackawanna County Soil Conservation. O’Neill explained that Jerry Stiles, a member of the conservation and township resident, had researched the dirt portion of Simrell Road and said the area would be ideal for treatment. The estimated cost of the project is $89,000. According to O’Neill, the township will ask for a $57,000 grant to help with the cost. He also explained that, if the project falls through, the township would not have to accept the grant. The board unanimously approved the proposed application. Finally, O’Neill brought up a review of township code section 2516 regarding payment to the Clarks SummitSouth Abington Joint Sewer Authority (JSA). According to O’Neill, the code states that sewer board members are to be paid $250 per year, however, members of the JSA are supposedly paid $100 per meeting. This was confirmed by sewer authority member Gloria Lance of South Abington Twp. who was in attendance. She stated that members are paid $100 for every “authorized meeting” as well as $300 for the year. Dougherty suggested that an investigation be made into whether or not the code section refers to a distinction between township sewer boards and joint sewer authorities. Solicitor Bill Jones said he will review the section.

Lady Chiefs balanced attack dooms Lady Lions BY ROBERT TOMKAVAGE rtomkavage@theabingtonjournal.com
FACTORYVILLE - After falling behind early, Lakeland turned up the intensity on defense and came away with a 61-43 road victory over Lackawanna Trail in a Division 3 girls basketball game on Monday, Jan. 30. The Lady Chiefs forced five turnovers and outscored the Lady Lions, 21-7, in the second quarter. “We picked up our press and that’s what really brings together our offense,” Lakeland senior Allison Kraky said. “We hustled on defense and got our game moving fast. That’s the way we play.” Kraky, who finished the game with 13 points, 12 rebounds and four steals, was one of four Lady Chiefs who scored in double digits. Breann ClaussWalton scored 13 points and grabbed eight rebounds. Alissa Steier chipped in with 11 points and six steals, and Jodie Virbitsky added 10 points and six rebounds. “Any night it can be any three of six girls that score in double figures,” Lakeland head coach Pat Walton said. “They are really unselfish; they really understand our sets, and are running the offenses very well.” Lackawanna Trail held a 12-10 advantage at the end of the first quarter after Natasha Pacholec hit a deep three-pointer at the buzzer. Pacholec led the Lady Lions in scoring with 13 points, including three three-pointers. That would be the Lady Lions’ last lead of the game as Lakeland outscored them 38-14 over the next two quarters. “(Trail) came out hard,” Walton said. “I told my team to expect that, especially playing at their gym. The second quarter I think our defensive pressure just kind of took over See Lady Chiefs, Page 12

Emma Gromelski turned a second chance into the secondplace finish that Abington Heights needed to salvage a tie Tuesday night, Jan. 31, when it faced Scranton Prep in a battle of Wyoming Valley Conference Northern Division swimming unbeatens at The University of Scranton’s Byron Complex pool. The 100 butterfly race was repeated at the conclusion of all events because of a problem with a touchpad the first time the race was held. Gromelski moved up from third in the race that was disregarded to second in the race that became official, picking up one more point for the Lady Comets and taking one away from the Classics to force the final outcome of 85-85. Scranton Prep sophomore Mia Nonnenberg remained the winner in the 100 butterfly. She also won the 200 freestyle in a pool record time of 1:55:31 and was part of a winning 400 freestyle relay team. The Classics had the race winners, but the depth of a larger Lady Comets roster paid off. Nine of the 11 contested

Maria Telincho, Rebekah Campo and Katie Voitik joined Nonnenberg in producing two individual and one relay win for Scranton Prep. Gromelski was also part of the only Abington Heights win which came in the opening 200 medley relay. Both teams are 3-0-1, behind Delaware Valley (4-0) in the standings.

Ryan Sebastianelli, Kris Muzzi and Cooper Legg all had one individual and two relay wins for Scranton Prep.
SCRANTON - Scranton Prep outscored Abington Heights, 11-3, in the second quarter and held on for a 39-29 victory in a Lackawanna League Division 1 girls basketball game at the Xavier Center on Friday, Jan. 27. Maura Byrne scored seven of her 11 points during the run that gave the Classics a lead they would never relinquish. “In Wednesday’s game, Maura struggled a little bit offensively and was a little down,” Scranton Prep head coach Ross Macciocco said. “I told her, ‘Friday is going to be your night.’ It was a good time for her to step up and hit some shots. She’s a senior and wanted to have an opportunity to beat this team one time during her senior year. She stepped up and played hard.” Maura Byrne hit her first five shots, including a three-pointer midway through the second quarter to give the Classics their first lead of the game. “My teammates were giving me awesome passes and setting great screens for me,” she said. “We were all very nervous because we knew that the rest of the (second) half kind of depends on this game. We were nervous, but excited. I think that got us pumped up to play to play better.” Tricia Byrne scored 17 points and grabbed nine rebounds for the Classics. The sophomore was happy to get the win on a night dedicated to fighting cancer. During ‘Pink Night,’ the teams combined to raise $5,400 for breast cancer research. “We’re obviously out there for the cause to See classics, Page 12

After 46 years of dedicated service, Dr. Ventre retired in 2009. Ventre’s other great love was her family. She

Antoinette Eve Jaditz, 91, of Clarks Summit, passed away Wednesday, January 25. Born in Brooklyn, PA, daughter of Anthony and Scholastica Sklanka, she was the youngest of nine children. After graduating from Brooklyn High she moved to Dickson City in 1936 and became a beautician, working in Bethlehem prior to marrying her husband, Ted, in 1945. They enjoyed 62 years together before he passed away in 2008. She was the mother of five children, Barb, Sue, Mary Lou, Steve and Ted; grandmother of 13 and great-grandmother of seven. She eventually became a self-employed beautician in Clarks Summit, and had many long lasting relationships with her customers. Her shop was forum for debate, idea exchange and a source of personal fulfillment and enjoyment for her. A gifted seamstress and excellent cook and canner, she dressed her children in stylish clothing and preserved the fruits of the home garden. She was very proud of her family and emphasized education, hard work and thrift. The family wishes to thank the staff of Willowbrook Care Facility and Abington Manor for the diligent care and attention they gave to Eve. Arrangements are entrusted to the care of the Lawrence E. Young Funeral Home, 418 S. State St., Clarks Summit. To send online condolences, visit www.lawrenceeyoungfuneralhome.com.
