“Warm Your Heart With Art” is the theme for this month’s Clarks Summit Second Friday Art Walk on February 10, kicking off Valentine’s Day weekend.

Organized by the Arts Council of the Abingtons, the event will feature a variety of local artists with everything from paintings, to romance novels, to jazz songs at 13 locations in downtown Clarks Summit.

Duffy’s Coffee House, 312 S. State St., has potential to be the busiest of the venues, as it will host multiple artists throughout the event.

Edwin Doherty, co-owner of Duffy’s, said November was the new business’s first time participating in the event, and he’s glad to be a part of the community by showcasing local art and music.

Referring to this month’s theme, he said, “They can warm their heart with coffee, too, you know.”

David McGrew, Assistant Professor in Baptist Bible College’s music department, heads up a jazz quartet, which will perform from 7 to 9 p.m. at Duffy’s. It consists of him on the guitar and students Paul Raynor on percussion, Seth Lewis on bass and Stephen Merkh on the saxophone.

McGrew said the group will perform “a love-song themed set of songs with a Brazilian twist.” He looks forward to having fun and making music with his students.

Susan Dietrich, of Clarks Green, will be another featured artist at Duffy’s. She does oil paintings and water colors, mostly of nature scenes, and gets her inspiration from times spent sitting by the creek with her children and hiking in the state park.

She said, although her paintings don’t directly tie into a Valentine’s Day theme, her nature themes cause people to think of summer-

‘Warm Your Heart With Art’

BY ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER lbaumeister@theabingtonjournal.com

CLARKS SUMMIT Clarks Summit Council members held a special meeting on Jan. 31 to discuss the possibility of combining with other local municipalities.

Ron Stern, a local government specialist at the Governor’s Center for Local Government Services, gave a presentation to council regarding the process of starting a regional police force.

According to Stern, in order to start the free feasibility study all interested municipalities must sign and send a letter of intent to his office.

Stern cautioned council about joining forces with multiple municipalities from the beginning since many regional forces begin with just two or three municipalities.

“It can sometimes be difficult to get everyone to agree on one subject,” Stern said.

“Start small, build a good foundation, and then expand.”

According to Stern, during his 15 years working for the state, feasibility studies of police forces starting with

He described the paintings as often abstract and impres-

While a student at Abington Heights High School, 2006 graduate Conor Orr never thought that one day he’d be on the sidelines of the NFL’s (National Football League) biggest game.

Now a reporter for New Jersey’s Star-Ledger, Orr, 23, has done just that. He said that, during his week in Indianapolis, Indiana covering Super Bowl XLVI, he “never had so much fun.”

“You go to school and you work to be trained not to be surprised by anything,” he said, “to assess everything with a steady hand. But that (game) was just unbelievable.”

Orr began covering the New York Giants for the Star-Ledger after the New York Jets, his original assignment, failed to make the playoffs. He said it’s been exciting to see the giants go through the whole process and make it all the way to the Super Bowl.

From a professional standpoint, the experience has also allowed Orr to work alongside individuals for whom he holds a great deal of respect.

According to Charles Charlesworth, co-chair of the arts council board of directors, Dorothy O’Connor, of Sole to Soul, first thought of the theme as a way to celebrate Valentine’s Day in the community. Her shop at 535 S. State St. will feature Scranton native romance novelist Tina Gallagher.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor: As the election year unfolds, the electorates’ intelligence has been taken to an all-time low.

Sound bites are common, but know politics plays out in a fashion that all good things come to those who wait - from June to November. With the affluence, not influence of technology, some people’s memories are so short term that planning ahead is impossible. S o dependent are they on technology that they scarcely can think for themselves, the importance of which you need only refer to Thomas Jefferson.

So what does this mean, low gas prices for a prosperous summer? Good news from Europe that solidifies our economy? Another drone attack to wet our appetite? All these things will happen if the body Politic wants the president re-elected.

The show’s no longer funny. Innocent people are suffering, all in the name of the election year.

Local blood donations, global antibiotics focus of Parker Hill event Blood donations to help the American Red Cross of Lackawanna County paired with gifts to help international relief organization World Vision distribute antibiotics during a recent special event at Parker Hill Community Church.

“Give Locally, Help Globally,” held at Parker Hill’s Dickson City campus on January 28, boosted area blood supplies while separately raising money to buy needed medicine for distribution in impoverished areas of the world.

The American Red Cross received 70 units of blood through the effort and donors filled every available time slot. At the same time, more than $3,200 was raised for World Vision. The organization, through a special matching program, is able to multiply the gift11times, yielding more than $35,000 for life-saving medicine.

The catalyst for the event was one of Parker Hill’s Community Groups, led by Tim and Melissa Knabel. The couple realized how much they took antibiotics for granted when their daughter needed to be treated for an infection. It motivated them to help other families who don’t have such easy access to medical supplies. Other group members assisting with the event included Peg Carota, Tara Gribbin, Marianne Kraft, Brian McGuinness, Jess Schlettert and Jennifer Scott.

Dear Editor: The Nicholson Heritage Association Continues to meet on a monthly basis at the First Presbyterian Church of Nicholson. This year the big project will be the purchasing of the D.L. & W. Freight Station to follow up with plans for renovation. Once the renovation is underway, plans will be worked on as to how we can display historical pictures and documents as well as many items that have been donated by our supporters.

We will plan the 100th anniversary celebration of the Tunkhannock Viaduct, also known as the Nicholson Bridge, for September 2015. The Nicholson Women’s Club will work with us to make that as memorable as the celebration we had in 1990 for the 75th anniversary.

Our association can be supported by becoming a member. Information can be found on our website, www.nicholsonheritage.org or by seeing Lisa Mahalina at the Farmers Supply. Monetary donations are greatly appreciated as are photos, documents or historical items. We will soon be working on getting a Commemorative Postage Stamp approved to coincide with the anniversary of the bridge. This takes thousands of signatures. We look forward to seeing you at the next meeting at 7 p.m. on February 29 .

Marion Sweet, Chair, Nicholson Heritage Association Dear Editor: The future starts tomorrow.

When you wake up and smell the coffee, then pour yourself a bowl of Wheaties (which is the “Breakfast of Champions”), put your glasses on and shake the cobwebs loose. You pick up the paper and realize everyday what non-profit organizations accomplish in NEPA for the good of our citizens and children.

Now magnify this by the thousands across this country.

The majority of us are baby boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, and we have had a great pass.

At present, we have most likely achieved the “American Dream.” But, slowly, our future and dreams are fading fast. As far as tomorrow, most are taking it a day at a time. If you care about our young people, our children and grandkids, how many tomorrows will it take so they have a brighter future? Will they be able to live the “American Dream?”

We are all teachers in our own ways, so pass it on.

We were all given a gift, so pass it on.

I do not enjoy saying this, but Uncle Sam is counting on you. The difference is non-profit organizations do this with love, honor and, most important, they do it peacefully.

How much or how little you can do matters. It’s a team effort. There is little time left before we pass on, so be a mentor, volunteer, perform a service or join a club.

So, as you dress for work this morning, I leave you with this thought. The youth are the future. With positive thinking and an “I Can Do” attitude, we can make their dreams come true.

Kindle: the spark to continue.

Ignite: The flame toward mankind.

Reach within. Embrace Humanity.

a volunteer basis.”

According to Bass, every business would be checked once a year through the program and buildings that present a life hazard would be done twice a year, if not quarterly.

“It’s not done to close business down or fine them to make money. It’s to correct the problems,” Bass said Council agreed to consult with the fire department before making a decision on the matter.

Councilman Patrick Williams announced he is looking for volunteers and funding from local businesses to paint the bridge buttons in the borough. Also, Williams noted that 2012 recycling schedules are available in the borough building.

Council voted to approve Resolution 2012-03 suspending the need to use parking meters during the Clarks

Summit Festival of Ice, Feb. 16-20.

Council accepted the resignation of Jim Burke as its representative to the TTC (Tax Collection Committee) and voted to accept Jamie Kreske as the new representative.

Council voted to adopt Resolution 2012-08 which reduces the Building Inspection Underwriters (BIU) fee for permits by 70 percent. Also, the borough will get an increase in profit from 20 to 30 percent from the fee.

Council recognized Kathy Drake, Barbara Evans and Jim Burke for their services to the borough.

“I commend Mrs. Drake, Mrs. Evans and Mr. Burke for the outstanding work they have done on certain committees to help improve the quality of life in the borough,” said councilman Her-

man Johnson.

Councilwomen Patty Lawler is leading a committee to strengthen recycling in the borough.

“We’re working hard to reinvigorate the recycling program,” Lawler said “We have a meeting with the president of the Abington Business & Professionals (ABPA) to get information about possible grants. We’re also going to ask them to designate a dumping spot in three different areas in the business section for recyclables.”

Lawler also plans to reach out to different civic groups and businesses as part of the Adopt-A-Park program where they would take control of maintaining a park in the borough. She feels this would free up the DPW’s workload to help in other areas, such as recycling.

Council voted to move forward with the project.

In an effort to create a new revenue stream for the Abington Heights School District, Superintendent Michael Mahon, Ph.D., suggested the idea of accepting tuition students in January and elaborated on what that would entail during the school board’s monthly work session on Feb. 1.

The plan would be for the district to identify slots in different grades where there is room for more students without overcrowding the class.

Mahon estimated there are 32 slots available for tuition students in the elementary schools, 11 in the middle school and 10 in each grade level at the high school for a total of 83 slots.

If the district were to charge $7,500 a school year and fill all the slots, it would result in over $600,000 for the district.

“We believe that, truly, the strength of what we do here is the opportunities we offer to students, and we expect, and we don’t know this for sure, that there are students outside Abington Heights who might be willing to pay for these opportunities,” said Mahon.

If the board passes this policy, tuition students who are accepted would be responsible for providing their own transportation to the school. Those students may also be required to reapply for a slot in grade five when they advance from the elementary school to the middle school and in grade nine before advancing to the high school.

Mahon explained that mong the risks involved in implementing this policy is a chance the district could end up taking on a student who may require services that cost more than the tuition they pay.

The board inquired if it was possible to set different tuition rates, depending on a student’s particular needs.

Mahon was unaware of whether that is a possibility.

A decision over whether or not to implement the policy was not made, and the board agreed to continue discussing the matter.

In the event that the policy is approved, Mahon acknowledged there can be some unforeseen risks and suggested the board create an exit strategy.

“I think it would be wise to say, if we’re going in this direction, that the board would retain the right to eliminate or modify the program at the conclusion of any academic year,” he said.

Abington Heights High School Principal Pamela Murray and World Languages Coordinator Marcy Curra were also in attendance at the meeting.

The two recently returned from a trip to China where they had the opportunity to research and study the school system and educational practices, visiting schools in Beijing and Harbin.

They will give a detailed presentation of their experience, titled “Bridging the East and West,” on Thursday, Feb. 16 at 6:30 p.m. at the Abington Community Library, 1200 W. Grove St., Clarks Summit.

The presentation is recommended for individuals in grades seven and up. For more information, call 587.3440.

The school board will meet for its monthly meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 15.

High school students get a glimpse of college life

BY ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER lbaumeister@theabingtonjournal.com

About 20 high school students from local schools and beyond attended “Winter Daze,” a combination of a college visit and spiritual retreat at Baptist Bible College from January 26-29.

The weekend included a variety of activities such as attending college classes and chapel, a financial aid presentation, a concert with the band “We the Readers” from Steamtown Church in Scranton, snow tubing and a live game of “Clue” based on the popular board game.

Sean MacPherson, Director of Enrollment at BBC, said this is the third year the college has held the event as a winter retreat, but it has always hosted college visitation days in the past.

“We want them to get a first-hand day in the life of a BBC student,” he said.

Rachel Ingalls, of Dalton,

was also excited about the snow tubing and movie night in the dorms.

Lackawanna Trail junior Marissa Dunckla, of Dalton, said it was fun being at the college, interacting with the students and seeing what the campus is like. She also said the “We the Readers” concert was good.

All three students enjoyed the sessions with Jeremy Hales, guest speaker from Skyview Ranch in Millersburg, Ohio. During the Friday evening session, Hales spoke to the students ABINGTON JOURNAL PHOTO/ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER about God’s protection and Rachel Ingalls, left, Abington Heights High School; Austin Brown, cen- plan for their lives.

Scouting Scene With Tyler VanGorder

Boy Scouts lend Cub Scouts a hand The month of January for Troop 160 was not spent cowering inside from the cold. Instead, Troop 160 thrived upon this opportunity and had its “Polar Bear Campout.” at Camp Acahela on Jan. 21.

The Souts had a lot of fun although it was cold.

They learned and practiced a lot of Scout skills. This included several lashings and winter first aid skills.

Lashings are complex knots that, when done correctly, can be used to build common structures such as a ladder or a bridge. The Scouts slept outside in tents and endured the temperature which dropped to eight degrees during the night.

This month was also the Cub Scouts’ Pinewood Derby. This is a competition where the Cub Scouts race homemade cars. These Scouts spend hours working and perfecting their cars.

When they are finished, they race them on a narrow track, three cars at a time, and the winner is declared

after a series of races.

Although the main goal of the event is to win the races, there is also a beauty contest.

Some of the Scouts went all out and were able to create some very impressive vehicles.

The journey from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts is a fun one. Boys start at the rank of Tiger and go through the ranks of Wolf, Bear and Webelo 1 and Webelo 2. This goes from first through fifth grade and the Scouts learn valuable skills that can be carried over into Boy Scouts.

They also have a lot of fun taking part in events such as the Pinewood Derby.

The Boy Scouts hosted the Pinewood Derby. Every year they do their part and help out the Cub Scouts by running the event.

I would like to thank all of the Boy Scouts who volunteered and helped with the races.

Remember, a Scout is helpful.

Pack 160 Cub Scouts get ready to start the Pinewood Derby races.

The oil painting titled “River Rock” by Susan Dietrich will be on display at Duffy’s Coffee House.

Keystone College sophomore Codie Jones creates a number of different products, including headbands, made from soda can tabs.

Codie’s Creations Keystone student offers unique green jewelry and accessories

BY JOSEPH CROFT Abington Journal Correspondent

A

t first glance, Keystone College sophomore Codie Jones appears to dress like a college student.

A closer look at her ears, however, reveals jewelry that may be considered out of the ordinary. Her self-made earrings feature recycled soda can tabs.

Jones, 20, explained that accessories made from soda tabs first came to her attention when she attended Mountain View Jr./Sr. High School.

“Some of the soccer girls were wearing (bracelets), and I just thought it was so cool,” she said. “So, I went home that weekend, and we recycle the cans, so I went through all of them and started pulling all of the tabs off and cleaning them. Then I just tried to figure out how they did it and came up with it all on my own – my own design.”

After about six months of concentrating on making only bracelets, Jones started experimenting with making different products, such as earrings and belts. She was also encouraged by her mother, Sue, to start selling her products at local craft shows near her home

in Lenoxville. Jones explained that, since she was about 6 years old, she can remember her mother selling Native American crafts at area shows and fairs. Growing up in that environment

Codie Jones’ earrings, made from soda tabs, will be available to purchase at events like Tunkhannock’s Founder’s Day, Fall Fest at Elk Mountain and the Harford Fair.

fueled her artistic side, she said.

“I was definitely a very creative child,” Jones said with a laugh.

After working with only soda tabs, Jones decided to branch out and see what other materials she could reuse for jewelry. She now uses a variety of mediums, such as playing cards, Capri Sun pouches, dominos and Scrabble pieces. Jones has also brought her work into the classroom for various presentations.

“I love seeing the students’ reactions,” she explained. “(The products) are not something you see every day.”

Using her skills as a business major, Jones hopes to soon establish her own business selling her products. She explained that she envisions an online base, possibly called “Codie’s Corner Creations,” a tribute to how she got started.

“When I was younger, my mom kind of just made it (the name) up, because I usually just had the corner of the table to myself, so it was ‘Codie’s Corner.’”

Until then, Jones can be seen selling her products, alongside her mother, at events such as Tunkhannock’s Founder’s Day, Fall Fest at Elk Mountain and the Harford Fair.

What star from "The Office" also stars in the new movie "Big Miracle"?

Last week when I stopped downstairs to see the Dietrich’s “After School Theatre Arts” students busy preparing for their upcoming production, I couldn’t help but be filled with enthusiasm and hope for their futures.

Through this program, directed by the Dietrich’s own Jennifer Jenkins, students are not only learning about theatre arts, they are learning invaluable life skills such as community involvement, perseverance, creativity and communication skills which are so key to all aspects of life.

Jennifer has the students do fun vocal and physical warm-up exercises at the beginning of each rehearsal.

These warm-up exercises show students the importance of projecting their voices and enunciating as well as the value of physical exercise.

A different student leads these exercises each day so that they all develop the confidence to be able to stand up in front of a group and lead.

The group also participates in improv games at the end of class.

Improvisation is a necessary tool for an actor, but it also teaches students how to respond and interact with confidence in a variety of situations that may arise in life that they may have otherwise felt uncomfortable with.

What I think the students are learning the most is to not be afraid to use their creativity and imaginations as they develop their characters, write the script and build the set.

Fostering the development of children’s imaginations is so important.

As Albert Einstein, one of the world’s greatest intellects, once said, “Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.”

The “After School Theatre Arts” students will perform their production “Life on Mars” on Saturday, Feb. 25 at 11 a.m.

Tickets are $5 each. Call the Dietrich at 996.1500 for more information.

Speaking of productions, the Dietrich Theater will present A.R. Gurney’s “Love Letters” this weekend, starring two local legends in Hildy Morgan and David Zarko.

The idea that many times people are not the person they appear to be and can be hidden behind masks was the inspiration for “Kelly Cottontai,” a photograph by Lackawanna Trail junior Mahalia Mailey.

Celeste Belknap drew inspiration from her 99-year old great-grandmother for her color pencil drawing, "Simplicity."

The work of Lackawanna Trail High School’s Mahalia Mailey and Abington Heights High School’s Celeste Belknap is currently on display at the Everhart Museum as part of the “Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder” exhibit.

The exhibit is on display through April 1 and serves as a complement to the winter exhibit, “Posing Beauty in African American Culture.”

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 youth see themselves and their cultural identities.

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.

the years was just incredible.” he said. “To just watch them work and see how they approach things and see how they talk to people…that’s an experience you can’t really measure.”

Orr hopes his experience will enable youth from his hometown of Clarks Summit to also follow their dreams after high school.

“I hope it means that they think this is something that they can do,” he said. “It’s just hard work, and I guess that’s a good lesson to learn.”

At the time of this interview, Orr was still on his way back to New Jersey with the rest of his news team, and was planning to attend the parade for the Giants in Manhattan and soon returning to covering the Jets.

“I can’t complain,” he concluded. “They (The Star-Ledger) pay me to watch sports, so it’s the best job in the world as far as I’m concerned.”

Orr’s stories, including his coverage of the Super Bowl, can be found online at http:// www.nj.com/starledger/.

“The whole point is to connect communities again,” Kern added.

Kern and Ellsworth closed their presentation by stating that, although they have received a grant from Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), they still need to raise $145,000.

“Our organization exists on donations,” Ellsworth stated.

Anyone wishing to donate or to learn more information on the “Trolley Trail” project or the Countryside Conservancy can visit www.countrysideconservancy.org.

Comm hosts Pinewood Derby

The Waverly Community House (Comm) will once again host the Cub Scouts of Troop #152 for the second annual Pinewood Derby at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 25.

The Cub Scouts and their families and friends will gather at the Comm for fun and healthy competition.

The Pinewood Derby is a racing event for Cub Scouts in the Boy Scouts of America.

With the help of their parents, Cub Scouts build their cars from wood, usually from kits containing a block of pine, plastic wheels and metal axles.

Cub Master Don Murphy organized the first Pinewood Derby on May 15, 1953 in Manhattan Beach, California by Pack 280c.

Murphy’s son was too young to participate in the popular Soap Box Derby

races, so he came up with the idea of racing miniature wood cars. The cars had the same gravity-powered concept as the full-size Soap Box Derby cars, but were much smaller and easier to build.

The Scouts receive awards and trophies for their achievements, including most original car design, placement within their dens and, of course, being the fastest in the pack.

Scouting is a familybased program that combines fun, learning, life skills and values to promote character development and leadership training.

Anyone interested in Scouting may contact Ethan Cannella at 241.8120, or check out the fun, most Monday and Thursday nights at the Comm from 6 to 7 p.m.

Rotary continues its funding for the eradication of polio New member inducted Rotary Club of the Abingtons recently installed a new member, Anneli Frelin, Ph. D. sponsored by Tata Mbugua.

Dr. Frelin, from Sweden, works for the University of Gavley in education (online), lives in South Abington Township with her husband, Anders, and daughters, Elise and Emma.

So close to eradication Despite a sagging global economy, Rotary clubs around the world have succeeded in raising more than $200 million in new funding for polio eradication. The fundraising milestone, announced at Rotary’s annual International Assembly in San Diego, was reached in response to a $355 million challenge grant from the “Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.” All funds have been earmarked to support polio immunization activities in affected countries where this vaccine-preventable disease continues to paralyze children. Rotary started the global fight against polio, and continues to set the tone for private fundraising, grassroots engagement and maintaining polio at the top of the agenda with key policy makers.

Since 1988, the incidence of polio has plummeted by more than 99 percent, from about 350,000 infections annually to fewer than 650 cases reported in 2011. The wild polio virus now remains endemic, meaning its transmission has never been stopped, in only four

countries: Afghanistan, India, Nigeria and Pakistan. However, on Jan. 13 India marked a full calendar year without a case, paving the way for the virus’ imminent removal from the endemic list. But other countries also remain at risk for polio cases imported from the endemic countries. In Africa in 2011, Chad and the Democratic Republic of Congo had significant outbreaks.

Also in 2011, a small cluster of polio cases in China, which had been polio-free for a decade, was attributable to a virus from Pakistan. Reaching children with the oral polio vaccine in the disease’s remaining strongholds is labor and resource-intensive due to a host of challenges, including poor infrastructure, geographical isolation, armed conflict and cultural misunderstanding about the eradication campaign.

Rotary members not only reached into their own pockets to support the Gates challenge, they engage their communities in a variety of creative way. To date, Rotary club members worldwide have contributed more than $1 billion toward the eradication of polio, a cause Rotary took on in 1985.

over five municipalities tend to not work out.

Council members will reach out to nearby municipalities to see if there is any interest in forming a partnership.

“We will see if there is serious interest,” said borough manager Virginia Kehoe. “If so, then we will hold a meeting to sign the letter of intent.”

Stern also told council that’s it’s important to find “good fits” when looking for partners.

“Typically, we see boroughs merging with boroughs and townships with other townships,” he said.

According to Councilman Herman Johnson, the regional police force is being considered with the best interest of the residents in mind.

“We want to provide the same level of service, but don’t have the funds to do it,” he said. “We want to find a way to keep the status quo.”

While the switch to a regional police force likely would not pay immediate dividends, Stern explained to council that, over time, it could be beneficial.

“I can’t guarantee savings the first year,” he said. “You can expect prices to go up before they go down, but established regional departments have seen a 24 percent savings long-term.”

Lady Comets too much for Lady Trojans

BY JOE BARESS Abington Journal Correspondent

CLARKS SUMMIT -After a heartbreaking loss to North Pocono earlier in the season, the Lady Comets made sure the Lady Trojans had no chance for another fourth-quarter comeback by taking a 48-20 victory on Feb.2.

In the teams’ first meeting, North Pocono outscored the Lady Comets, 13-6, in the fourth quarter en route to a 31-30 victory at North Pocono High School. This time around, Abington Heights put the game away early.

“Losing to them gave us the momentum to want to come back and bury them deep,” said Abington Heights senior guard Lauren Hoyt. “I think we did a pretty good job of doing that.”

Hoyt fueled the Lady Comets on both ends of the floor. She finished with 11 points, 11 steals and eight assists.

If she comes in with that energy every game, we’re tough,” said Abington Heights coach Vince Bucciarelli. “Her defense made the whole defense work harder tonight.”

The Lady Comets came storming out of the gates with a 12-0 run to start the first quarter. Abington Heights held the Lady Trojans scoreless until Alyssa Hamill made a layup with 30 seconds left in the quarter. Junior forward Katherine Rosencrance scored six of the team’s 12 points in the first quarter.

Abington Heights topped its 12-point first quarter with a 20-point second quarter.

The offensive success started on the defensive end where the Lady Comets held North Pocono to three points in the second quarter and opened up opportunities for points in transition.

“We kept switching up the defenses so I think that got into their heads,” Hoyt said.

“We just kept playing strong and the defensive end defiSee Lady Comets , Page 13

BY ROBERT TOMKAVAGE rtomkavage@theabingtonjournal.com

S. ABINGTON TWP. - Summit Christian Academy remained unbeaten after defeating Central Baptist Christian Academy, 54-22, in a NY Penn League contest on Feb. 2.

The Patriots started the game on a 14-4 run over the first four minutes and led, 20-6, at the end of the first quarter.

“We try to push as hard as we can at the start of each half,” said Summit Christian head coach Dan Cross. “It’s important that you always start out with a bang and go as hard as you can in the beginning to build a cushion and give the guys a lot of confidence.”

Michael Butts, who finished with 16 points, 10 rebounds and three steals, hit back-to-back three-pointers in the middle of the first quarter to key the Patriots’ run.

Butts converted 10 three-pointers as part of a 35-point effort on Jan. 27 against Triboro and has continued that momentum the last few games.

“That was a really fun game,” he said of the Triboro contest. “Tonight I was a little off, but it’s kind of sticking with me a little bit.”

The senior has excelled in his first season as a member of the Patriots.

“I’ve enjoyed my time here,” Butts said. “I’ve really bonded with the team See Patriots , Page 14

Hoyt then nailed a deep three-pointer at the buzzer to give the Lady Comets a 32-5 lead at the end of the half.

“As soon as the ball left her hand, I knew it was going in,” Bucciarelli said.

“That was a big lift for us.”

With the buzzer beater, the Lady Comets scored one point more in the first half than they scored in the entire game against North Pocono earlier in the season.

Senior guard Tiffany O’Donnell scored a gamehigh 16 points for Abington Heights. Hamill and Elizabeth Lisiecki led North Pocono with five points apiece.

Hoyt led the second-quarter charge with her intense play. Early in the quarter, Hoyt forced a jump ball, which kept the Abington Heights’ possession alive.

She followed that up with a steal and a basket to increase the Lady Comets’ lead to 16-2. A few possessions later, Hoyt forced another turnover which led to Abington Heights’ 10th unanswered point. She also had a few assists in the quarter, including a pass to Chloe Shook that gave the Lady Comets a 29-5 advantage toward the end of the second quarter.

Lochen’s favorite basketball player of all time is John Stockton.

“I respect him so much because of his work ethic and that he always found the other team’s weakness,” Lochen said of Stockton.

The Lions have an 8-11 overall record and a 3-1 record in Lackawanna League Division III second half play.

“We are not having the year I had hoped for, but we are really starting to come together as a team,” Lochen said. “We have started to score more, which forces teams to take some pressure off of Stephen (Miller) and gets him open.”

Lochen said the team’s goal is to win the rest of its games in the second half. He hopes this will give his team an opportunity to defend its league title.

Lochen and the Lions will face off against Blue Ridge at 7:15 p.m. Friday at Blue Ridge High School. In the first meeting between the two teams this season, Lochen led Lackawanna Trail in scoring with 28 points, but the Lions lost, 76-72, at home.

After the conclusion of his wrestling career, Rosiak is looking forward to graduation and to playing volleyball in the spring, which he describes as his “fun sport.”

He is interested in continuing his football career in college, but before leaving the wrestling mats for good, would like nothing more than to prove himself on the big stage.

“My first goal is to win the district championship, then place in the top three in regionals, which would get me into the state tournament,” he said . “I took a good step in that direction last year, but I want to leave wrestling on a high note.”

“He’s a wrestler that can perform in practice, but you really see his best stuff come out in the matches,” Stauffer said. “He’s really picked it up since the start of the year, and we know he has great potential to do well in the regional tournament.”
