Ransom residents argue rights BY ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER lbaumeister@theabingtonjournal.com

At the Ransom Township Board of Supervisors meeting, on , February 6, Eric Moeller, of Ransom Township, made a complaint to the supervisors regarding propane cannons used during the summer to scare birds away from a neighboring farm owned by Keith Eckel. Moeller told the supervisors the cannons fire every 15 to 20 seconds from approximately 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., starting mid-June and continuing until around Labor Day. He said his family hears over 2,100 blasts a day during that time period. Moeller contacted Eckel about the issue in the summer 2007 and followed up with a letter in February 2008. For the next three summers, he heard no cannons. He said he researched alternatives to the cannons and concluded that their use is unnecessary. “But, June 2011 brought a return of the cannons,” he said. “We spent the next 12 weeks in constant contact with Mr. Eckel, pleading for some relief from the daily assault on our ears. He finally stopped accepting our calls.” Moeller said he’s also been in contact with Supervisor Dennis Macheska in the past regarding the issue, but without results. “Every municipality in this country recognizes that every individual has the right to quiet enjoyment of his property,” he said. “The constant noise which I believe rises to the level of public nuisance has become impossible to ignore. Mr. Macheska has informed me that the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture permits the use of these cannons, but that does not mean that my elected town supervisors can or should

A bridge to success BY ALEX SEELEY Abington Journal Correspondent

Area students’ passion for engineering was abundantly apparent last weekend at the Viewmont Mall. School districts from across the area met Saturday morning for The Northeast Pennsylvania Regional Bridge Building Competition. The competition invited area students to build a model bridge and their basswood structures were tested by a group of professional engineers. “I think I did pretty well,” said Branden Connoly of Abington Heights High School. “I distributed the weight over an ark. I used a program called AutoCAD to create an ellipse. I made

outside corners tangent to the ellipse to distribute the weight along the outside.” This year, the 24th annual competition featured 35 students competing for recognition of their engineering skills. The winners are eligible for scholarships from Penn State WorthingtonScranton and Johnson College. “It took me about a week to build,” Abington Heights High School student Gianna Baldoni said of her entry in the competition. “It was difficult but fun.” This seemed to be a common sentiment among students who put in hours of tedious work to achieve the highest-

AN EDITION OF THE TIMES LEADER

Over the past eight years, The Clarks Summit Festival of Ice, organized by the Abington Business and Professional Association and scheduled for February 1620, has become a muchanticipated event. Those involved with organizing the event say they try to offer something new each year, and even they’re amazed with the way the event has grown. “We keep on growing, there’s more of everything going on (this year). There’s more of everything than ever before; it’s going to be a fun festival. We’re definitely excited,” said Clarks Summit Festival of Ice cochair Barry Kaplan. The event, which will run Thursday through Monday, will feature 56 ice sculptures relating to the theme “The Frozen Games 2012” as well as different events throughout downtown Clarks Summit. The festivities will kick off with a Family Fun Faire sponsored by State Representative Sid Michaels Kavulich on the second floor of the Clarks Summit Borough Building at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 16.

He believes it is the administration’s duty to represent BBC&S to stakeholders. Some of this takes place by raising funds for student scholarships and campus projects and by speaking and teaching not only at BBC&S, but in churches, conferences and seminars. Giving back to the community is important to Jeffery. “By serving our community in churches, helping other non-

Favorite place in the world: West Michigan because of raising our family in Grand Rapids, our children and grandchildren who live there along with many friends. Favorite book: The Bible because it is the revelation of God to us. My second favorite is “Pilgrim’s “rogress” by John Bunyan because of what it has taught me about life.

BBC&S is involved in local service clubs, the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce, volunteer fire and EMS companies and more. The school provides summer camps for children, teens, men

and women and offers sporting events, drama and music concerts that are open to the public. The Love-Life Marriage and Family Center on campus meets the needs of individuals and families. Students also serve as employees in local businesses. Ordained in to the Baptist See President , Page 9

has organized, “COMM Together,” a business card exchange fundraiser to support the Waverly Community House’s recreation projects and to continue progress on the playground and the tennis courts. “I’d like to enhance ongoing programs at the Comm to ensure people from the community have a safe and fun place to play,” said Hibble, “That’s why the 22nd is a big day for me because it’s my anniversary,” said Hibble. Anyone planning to attend the event might also want to bring comfortable workout clothes and sneakers – a 45-minute Zumba dance session taught by Hibble is also part of the evening’s line up. Two years ago, Hibble fell in love with Zumba Fitness, a Latin-inspired, calorie-burning dance fitness-party created by Alberto “Beto” Perez. A high school friend contacted her and encouraged her to try a class. She began teaching Zumba fitness classes at the Comm on January 18. “ “It is a healthier alternative to the typical cocktail fundraisers with unhealthy snacks and cocktail after cocktail,” Hibbard said of the card exchange fundraiser. “This is something to promote a healthier lifestyle. This is the reason the fundraiser will be held the day after Fat Tuesday. People can splurge on

Mardi Gras and come here the day after and work it off. I really like that Zumba is more of a group activity. Zumba is really more of a party than a workout.” Maria Wilson, Waverly Community House director, said of Hibble’s upcoming fundraiser, “I can’t imagine a better fundraiser that is more in keeping with what we do at the Comm. Diane has tremendous energy and we are extremely grateful that she is donating her time and Zumba talent for the benefit of the Comm’s recreational facilities. Everything she does is top shelf and I suspect that this fundraiser will be fantastic fun for everyone who attends. This should be a blast – and good for you,” Hibble is married to Charles Hibble, owner of Weichert Realtors /Hibble and Associates. She was also a Realtor for many years, but gave up her license to pursue her career in art as well as renovating properties that she and her husband either flip or rent out. The fundraising event will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. and the cost is $10 per person, which includes an evening of Zumba Fitness, beverages, healthy snacks.

Tom pointed out that the park is always well-maintained, and Sharon added, “The staff is very cordial.” The park staff, while small and sometimes stretched thin, has a reputation among park-goers for keeping the place maintained and friendly. Park Manager Dustin Drew said the staff includes a maintenance department, environmental education staff, administration, seasonal lifeguards and rangers. Drew oversees not only the operations and maintenance of Lackawanna State Park, but also of Salt Springs State Park, Archbald Pothole State Park and Prompton State Park. He said the

most difficult part of his job is managing his time and juggling all the things that sometimes demand his attention at once. He also enjoys that aspect of his job, however, and the variety it brings day-to-day and season-to-season. “It’s never the same thing every day,” he said. Environmental Education Specialist Angela Lambert, who is in charge of a number of environmental and education outreach programs at the park, agreed. “I could be working with pre-school kids one day and be at a board meeting the next,” she said. Drew is entering his third year at Lackawanna State Park, but has been with the Bureau of State Parks since high school when he started as a lifeguard. Lambert has been with the park since 1996 and with the Bureau since 1986. Both said they just “stumbled into the job” originally, but have always had an interest in science, the outdoors

and conservation. Drew said most of the staff members are compelled by conservation ethics and/or outdoor interests and are always encouraged by hearing that people are using and appreciating the park. “It’s hard to find a time when there’s no one in the park,” he said, “and that’s good to see.” Frank and Marge Loughney, of Scott Township, visit the park three to five times a week during the summer to go kayaking and bicycling, and two times a week during the winter to walk. They’ve observed albino deer, otters, turtles and eagles during their visits. “It really is a hidden treasure,” Marge said, adding that the park is kept in good shape. Gary and Norma Weidner, of Dalton, enjoy the park most during the winter when it is more peaceful as opposed to the summertime when it gets crowded. “Whenever it’s a nice day, we come over for a walk,” Gary said. There are also a lot of people who regularly walk their dogs, one of whom is Harry Curnow, of Scott Township who walks Bella, his Boykin Spaniel. He spoke highly of the staff, and said, “You meet a lot of nice people.” Not only does the park impact the people in the community; it impacts the local environment, as ABINGTON JOURNAL PHOTOS/ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER well. It is involved in many conserLackawanna State Park Manager Dustin Drew, left, oversees the operations and maintenance of the park while Environvation and environmental educamental Education Specialist Angela Lambert organizes and oversees the educational outreach programs at the park.

tion programs, such as Get Outdoors PA, iConcerve PA, Conservation Landscape Initiatives, PA Wilds Initiative and more. Drew pointed out if park staff members are going to make a difference in conservation, they can’t just focus on the small area within the park’s borders because it’s connected to a much larger picture. “You have to take a broader look if you want to conserve something and follow the natural borders,” he said. While the impact of the park on the community and environment may not come as a surprise to most, an aspect of its impact perhaps not often thought of is that of economics. A May 2010 report on “The Economic Significance and Impact of Pennsylvania State Parks,” conducted by Penn State University, found that visitors spent an estimated total of $6,880,000 on their trips to the Lackawanna State Park during 2008. The report states, “this spending resulted in $6,633,000 in sales, contributing to 103 jobs with $2,321,000 in labor income and $3,649,000 in value added.” This impact begins at seemingly insignificant levels: A maintenance worker mowing the grass, an educator teaching preschoolers about the importance of conservation, a friendly clerk working the cash registers at the pool. Then, it adds up, and the impact, along with the good reputation of the park, spreads.

The Lackawanna State Park boasts 1,445 acres of land, but its impact on the community, local economy and surrounding environment extends far beyond its physical borders. The park offers a wide variety of recreational activities, such as camping, picnicking, hiking, mountain biking, boating, swimming, hunting, fishing, ice skating, cross-country skiing and more. It’s also a part of a number of environmental education programs and statewide environmental initiatives. Tom and Sharon McArdle, of South Abington Township, visit the park about twice a week and appreciate its year-round accessibility. Sharon said it’s a great place to walk without having to worry about traffic, and it’s also a good place to take children. “It’s great for our granddaughter,” she said. “She can run and she can play in the play area.” The couple has hiked and skied

Local students nominated to service academies BY ROBERT TOMKAVAGE rtomkavage@theabingtonjournal.com

Three local students are one step closer to fulfilling their dream of attending a service academy after they were granted nominations by U.S. Representative Tom Marino’s 10th District Service Academy Nomination Board. The board is composed of veterans, academy graduates, business owners, educators and other community leaders. The next step in the process is acceptance into their chosen military academies, a decision made by each academy. Anthony Cerra, son of Anthony and Ann Marie Cerra and a senior at Scranton Prep High School, was nominated to the Naval Academy. “It’s a pretty lengthy process that you need to start early in your junior year,” Cerra said. “Getting nominated is the hardest part. There are many students who apply, but so few who are actually nominated.” Cerra believes his strong schoolwork and patriotism factored heavily into his selection. He was impressed with the academic tradition of Navy and hopes to follow in the footsteps of some of America’s best leaders. “The Naval Academy is a great institution that has produced a lot of very credible alumni, including former president Gerald Ford, John McCain and Buzz Aldrin,” Cerrasaid. “They have made significant contributions to American society and are great role models to follow.” The Clarks Summit resident has taken steps to be ready to succeed should he be granted admission. “The Naval Academy has a rigorous curriculum and I have been preparing myself physically for the challenges that, hopefully, await me,” Cerra said. “I have been running and going to the gym more often to

get in better physical shape.” Kevin Murray, son of Kevin and Pamela Murray and a senior at Abington Heights, was also nominated to the Naval Academy. According to Murray, the academies are looking for students who have the total package. “They really look at how you are as a whole and what service you can provide as an officer in today’s military,” he said. Murray believes a trip he took with the Rotary Club of the Abingtons impacted his nomination. “I think my exchange trip abroad to Venezuela with the Rotary International definitely gave me an advantage,” he said. “That really allowed me to be open and cultured, and I think the board was able to see that I was more open to different things.” Murray is confident that his time spent at Abington Heights has prepped him for the challenges the Naval Academy would present. In addition to excelling in the classroom, he was also a member of the track and field team. “I think it has definitely prepared me both academically and physically,” he said. “(Navy) really looks at sports (participation) and Abington Heights has great sports programs. I think we’re a very strong school academically. The upper-level classes have been challenging, and I think they have prepared me for what I’m going to see should I get selected.” Murray has also honed in on certain subjects that the Naval Academy focuses on heavily. “I’ve been trying to concentrate a little bit more on my physics and science classes because they stress engineering,” he said. “I’ve also been keeping up with my second language by taking AP Spanish classes, trying to maintain the

bilingual aspect that I have gained through the cultural exchange program.” Hannah Tuffy, daughter of William and Lisa Tuffy of Scott Township and a freshman at Cedarville University, has been nominated to West Point. Tuffy applied to the Naval Academy last year, but enrolled at Cedarville University after her admission was denied. “I have been considering attending a service academy for almost three years,” she said. Tuffy believes her active lifestyle helped her receive a nomination. “I feel that I’m well-rounded,” she said. “I’ve always had good grades, played a lot of sports and volunteered at my church. I have been involved with the ROTC (Reserve Officers’ Training Corps) at college. I think re-applying was also a good plus. It showed my dedication.” Tuffy thinks her time spent at Cedarville University will be beneficial should she be accepted to West Point. “I really got a feel for what college life is like,” she said. “It’s a really tough challenge academically and has showed me that going to West Point and spending my life in the military is the direction I want to go in.” During her freshman year of college, Tuffy has worked hard to further develop her resume. “The ROTC program has helped so much,” she said. “I’ve also been volunteering. I’m trying to make my transcript the best I can.” West Point stood out to the Lakeland High School graduate for a few reasons. “I felt the values and ideals of the Army are perfect for me,” she said. “They develop good leaders and I feel that is the most important thing in the military. Also, the way I was treated by them, I knew it was the right place to go.”

Parenthood, Abington Style with Adriane Heine

Learning to say goodbye to an old friend Doug and I adopted K.D. the dog in early 1995. She was our first baby and we were wholly devoted to her. We had searched long and hard for the right dog, browsing the animal shelters for months, until one of the workers at the Humane Society gave us a tip. “Come on a weekday, not Saturday,” the workers said. “Dogs get dropped off all week but most of them are gone by 10:00 Saturday morning.” We showed up on a Wednesday evening and there she was - a fuzzy, trembling puppy huddled in the back of a cage. We knew instantly she was the one. We had to lobby our apartment manager at the time to allow what would become a bigger dog into the building. He was reluctant to sign the agreement required of landlords by the Humane Society, but we were unrelenting, threatening to vacate if we couldn’t bring her home. Once we did bring her home, we had adjustment behaviors to contend which we hadn’t anticipated. It took time for our new puppy to warm up to her new humans due to her history. She had been given as a Christmas present to a woman who didn’t like dogs. Despite being just weeks old, she had not been permitted inside the woman’s home, instead living several months of her early life tethered to the end of a chain day and night, throughout the winter months. Eventually, the woman got around to dropping her at the shelter. That was our lucky day. Our non-working hours came to revolve around this furry mutt. We would spend our weekends in dog-friendly places. When it came time to select a restaurant, we would only frequent outdoor cafes

where K.D. could sit with us. We went hiking, lounging on dog-friendly beaches, taking K.D. to play and socialize at the local off-leash dog park and tossing tennis balls as far as we could. Her passion was playing fetch and even on the rainiest of days, we made it happen. We taught her to swim by tossing Milk Bones into a stream, first just a foot off the bank and eventually, when her doggy paddle became proficient, all the way across the water. Fast forward to 2012, three children later and K.D. is still a central part of our lives. Sure, as the infants came along, there was less time to devote solely to her. I remember the dejected look on her face as I came home from the hospital 10 years ago with the first baby. As I whittled the hours away caring for the infant, rocking, feeding, diapering and burping, I’d look across the room lovingly at K.D. sometimes, remembering when I had the time to play with her. She adjusted to her new reality seamlessly though, making it her mission to insure the baby’s safety. If the baby was in the crib, K.D. would lay on the floor next to it, growling at anyone who dare drive into the driveway or approach the door. As the years went by, she handled the toddlers with infinite patience. They tugged at her tail and tried to ride her and she graciously put up with them. They became accomplices as the kids tried their first finger foods and she lay in vigil below the high chair, ready to clean up any crumbs. Before long they were sneaking her treats, reading bedtime stories to her and using her as a pillow. Doug and I are amazed that she is 17. She has been here as three children were

born and a second dog joined our household, but her body is failing her fast. We medicate every meal to make her more comfortable and treat her age-related conditions. We all saw “Marley and Me” and we know how it ends. That was several years ago and the girls cried themselves to sleep when the movie ended. “I thought that was going to be a fun movie!” one of them yelled. “They shouldn’t make kids see that!” We’re now living it. I took the kids to see “We Bought a Zoo” last week. One story line is that of Spar, an aging tiger, who also happens to be 17 years old. His owners are struggling with the same issues we are. Eventually, he is put down and for our family, this hit too close to home. When the credits at the end of the film rolled, it turned out that Spar’s real name is Katie. The coincidence did not go unnoticed. Then, after a difficult evening last week when K.D. could barely get up to go outside, the tears began to flow. I dried my eyes as we discussed with the kids for the first time that we may need to help K.D. get to heaven. Seeing her struggling, they didn’t argue, but the mourning began. “Mom, get me some Tums. My heart hurts!” Lauren cried. With some tweaking of K.D.’s medications, we were able to stabilize her the next day, prolonging the inevitable. I made sure we had Tums in the house, just in case. Adriane Heine and her husband, Doug, own Dublin’s Pub in West Scranton and are raising their three daughters in Waverly.

Powerball ticket worth $1 million sold in Clarks Summit BY DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@theabingtonjournal.com

The staff at an area Convenient Food Mart helped turn one person into a millionaire this weekend. According to a press release issued by the Pennsylvania Lottery, one Powerball ticket worth $1 million from the drawing on Saturday, Feb. 11, was sold at Convenient Food Mart, 330 Northern Blvd., Clarks Summit. The ticket correctly matched all five white balls, 01-10-37-52-57, but not the red Powerball, 11, for a $1 million secondtier prize, less 25 percent federal withholding, according to the press release. The owner of the Convenient Food Mart, Jerry Zubert, was out of town and could not be reached, but the store’s manager, Maureen Atkins, said this is the largest lottery prize she’s aware of being won from a customer of the store. “I was really excited,” Atkins said after hearing the news. “It’s pretty cool. I hope the person is local.” The identity of the winner was not at press time. The press release stated that lottery officials can-

not confirm the identity of the winner until the prize is claimed and the ticket is validated. Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes. Convenient Food Mart will receive a $5,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

Abington Heights High School SADD club member Brandon Perigard helps with the club’s shoe drive.

Shoe drive raises awareness BY T’SHAIYA STEPHENSON Abington Journal Correspondent

Abington Heights High School’s Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD), which currently consists of approximately 70 members, selects a different theme each month to showcase. The theme for the month of March is tobacco-awareness and throughout the month there will be a display set up of 55 pairs of shoes to represent lives lost to tobacco use. The shoes will be collected throughout the month of February and there are written and vocal announcements made to the high school students as a reminder about the drive. Abington Heights High School family and consumer science teacher and SADD advisor Roseanne Michaels said the group is collecting every size shoe from children

to adult. The group currently has approximately 20 pairs of shoes and is accepting donations from students and members of the community. Michaels, who has overseen this project from its inceptionfour years ago, said the group prefers shoes in a gently-used condition and is accepting all types of shoes. At the end of March, the shoes will be donated to St. Francis of Assisi Kitchen in Scranton. “The 55 pairs of shoes represent 55 lives that are lost in Pennsylvania daily from tobacco use,” said Abington Heights High School senior Brandon Perigard, 18, of Clarks Summit. Perigard has been a member of Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) since he was a freshman and this year holds the position of Public Relations Officer for the club .

COSTA DRUGS

He believes the actual visual of the shoes displayed, as opposed to just a number on paper, “has a bigger impact.” “I think the fact that the shoes are there and empty impacts it as well because it represents people that have actually died as a result of tobacco-related diseases. So these were people,” Michaels said about the displayed shoes. SADD is open to all members of the high school and anyone who wants to join has to sign a pledge, according to Michaels. For students about to enter the high school, Perigard encourages them to join SADD once they reach the high school. “I would encourage them to join it and to live by its message,” said Perigard. “I think to be a member of SADD or to be an officer or

somebody really active, really involved, takes a lot of guts, so to say, because you’re really putting yourself out there that ‘I don’t do this, and I’m proud of it,’” he said Msgr. Joseph Kelly, director of Catholic Social Services and executive director of St. Francis of Assisi Kitchen, said the kitchen accepts donations of clothing and shoes and is looking for sneakers for men and women and also men’s jeans. Sizes from children to adult are accepted. Msgr. Kelly said there is a drop-off box for donations open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is located next to St. Francis of Assisi Kitchen, 500 Penn Ave., Scranton. Members of the community can take their shoe donations to the Abington Heights Middle School, 222 Noble Rd., Clarks Summit.

That was a doubleedge sword because I needed to cut out some things and make it higher to meet requirements.” Luckily for McNulty, the sacrifice proved to be a wise one.

Kavulich started discussing sponsorship opportunities for the festival with Kaplan and, when he heard the Family Fun Faire was still available, he jumped at the chance to be the event’s sponsor. “I thought it was the perfect thing,” said Kavulich. “It’s a great family event, great fun. (The Clarks Summit Festival of Ice) is a great event, a lot of people come out to it. We’ve been here in the past. It’s phenomenal what these ice sculptures do, and all in all, it’s…just another one of the great events that go on up here in Clarks Summit and the Abingtons. I’m looking forward to it.” The Family Fun Faire will feature face painting, storytelling with Chris Archangelo, children’s crafts and more. Kavulich will be on hand at the faire and will also participate as a torchbearer in the Clarks Summit Festival of Ice Parade. Torchbearers will run down South State Street during the parade and at the end will light an Olympic Ice Cauldron located by the clocktower. In addition to Kavulich, other runners will include Lloyd Lamm, Lisa Akulonis, Kaplan and more. The parade will depart from the Clarks Summit Elementary School at 7 p.m., proceed down West Grove Street, make a left onto South State Street, continue through town and disperse at the Highland Avenue and Winola Road intersection. The night will close with the Post Parade Performance on the first floor of the Clarks Summit Borough Building. The performance will feature emcee and DJ Jack Martin, the coronation of Festival of Ice Olympians, juggling performance by Rob Smith and All About Theatre Performing Arts School’s presentation of the interactive “Olympic Story.” The Clarks Summit Borough Building will offer events throughout the festival.

“In every walk with nature, one receives more than he seeks”- Scottish born American naturist and author John Muir (1838 – 1914) is credited with this quote that I always find to be true during the treks I have taken in Pennsylvania’s state sarks. The beauty and the benefits of those hikes were always greater than I could have anticipated. Hiking author and local resident Jeff Mitchell will be back at the Dietrich at 11 a.m. this Saturday, Feb. 18 for a free presentation on “Hiking Through the Natural Beauty of Pennsylvania.” This talk will showcase pictures of Pennsylvania’s beautiful parks and natural areas, including hiking trails and waterways, with a focus on locations in northeastern Pennsylvania. During his lecture, Mitchell will explore hidden waterfalls, expansive vistas and isolated wild areas known only to a few people. Several new pictures have been added from last year’s presentation and Jeff’s book “Hiking the Endless Mountains” will be for sale at the presentation. Mitchell is the District Attorney of Wyoming County and the author of “Hiking the Endless Mountains,” “Backpacking Pennsylvania,” “Hiking the Allegheny Forest” and “Paddling Pennsylvania.” He is a board member of the Countryside Conservancy and the Keystone Trail Association. In addition to offering a hiking presentation, the Dietrich will host a few upcoming craft classes with Esther Harmatz who will teach “Jewelry Making: Easy Earrings & Bracelets” from 6 to 9 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 10. In this class, participants will have fun learning about different types of jewelry attachments and easy wire wrapping techniques as they create a pair of earrings and a bracelet. Esther will cover how to make neat loops and coils, add bead embellishments and how to use a peg template. I took this class previously and think it’s really an essential class for anyone interested in learning how to make jewelry. Admissionis $60 which includes all necessary materials. Esther will also teach a class called “Jewelry Making: Expressions in Fused Glass” from 6 to 9 p.m. on Monday, March 5 and from 7 to 9 p.m. on Monday, March 19. In this class, participants will learn the basics of small

Newcomers are always welcome and are encouraged to drop in to find out more about the club. New Adult Fiction “A Parliament of Sies,” by Cassandra Clark - Fourteenth century Britain, under the rule of King Richard II, is the setting for this medieval mystery. Amid civil unrest and threats to the king’s reign, Abbess Hildegard is called upon by the Archbishop of York to act as his spy in Parliament. The nun, known for her loyalty and intelligence, must face murderers, traitors, noblemen and madmen to solve a puzzling scheme. “Shadows in Flight” by Orson Scott Card - The three children of Bean, called Ender, Carlotta and Sergeant, share his genetic mutation that gives brilliance and a short life. In order to give scientists on Earth a chance to find a treatment, if not for Bean, then for his children, they board a ship to the stars, a near-light speed ship that propels them into the future. The novel comes to a climax when the ship’s life support begins to fail and Bean’s children must save themselves. “Out of Oz” by Gregory Maguire - Once peaceful and prosperous, the Land of Oz is in chaos.

He must put away his guns and assume the duties and dignity of the head of a noble house.

In an effort to raise the money they’ve turned to Kickstarter, a fundraising platform for creative projects where project creators keep complete ownership and control over their work. Anyone is able to donate as little as $1 or the full cost of the project. The group currently has over $6,000 raised on Kickstarter, and has until Friday, Feb. 23 to reach their goal if

Chiefs remain undefeated

Burke ties record at Louisville Becky Burke ended a slump in a big way on Saturday, Feb. 10. The senior from Abington Heights High School tied one school record while leading the way as the 20th-ranked University of Louisville set another in an 89-62 women’s basketball victory over Syracuse University. Burke had been scoreless for two straight games before scoring a career-high 28 points. She tied a school record by hitting eight 3pointers while the Cardinals set a school record by making 18 shots from 3point range. Shoni Schimmel also hit six 3-pointers as Louisville shattered its previous record of 14. Louisville, 7-5 in the Big East and 18-7 overall, had lost three straight. The Cardinals hit 58.1 percent of their 31 attempts from long distance. Burke hit her f irst two shots, one from each corner, during a game-opening, 20-4 run. “After I hit my f irst three, I think everybody kind of gave a sigh of relief,” Burke said in an Associated Press story. A career 1,000-point scorer, she was averaging 11.4 points per game despite the slump. Syracuse used a 19-8 surge to get within 51-42 on the opening basket of the second half. Burke then hit two straight 3-pointers to put Louisville back in control. She added two more, 1:25 apart, to tie the school record with 3:12 left. “I just kept shooting and the crowd was great,” Burke said in the AP story. “It was a really good time overall.” Burke has started 24 of 25 games for the Cardinals. She leads the team in 3pointers with 62, is third in scoring and steals and fourth in assists.

“Jason can be a presence on defense when he knows where he’s supposed to be,” Bianchi said. “On offense, I don’t want him to settle for jump shots. Everyday, he works on his moves inside. I want him to take the ball to the basket and get fouled, but he’s coming along.” Malcolm Sweeting led West Scranton with19 points and four steals. “Malcolm’s a great player and an ever nicer person,” Show said. “I have nothing but good things to say about him. We really tried to focus defensively on stopping him and a couple other guys, like Cullen Fanning and Louie DiBileo. I think we were able to do that for the most part tonight.” Mason Marsico added eight points and five rebounds for the Invaders.

After a strong third quarter against Elk Lake on Friday, Feb. 10, the Lakeland Chiefs remain undefeated in Lackawanna League Division III second half play with a 69-53 victory. Senior guard Alex Filarsky nailed four 3-pointers in the third quarter to lead Lakeland on a 25-6 run to start the second half. “In the first half we started slowing the ball down and not playing at our speed,” Filarsky said. “I think after halftime we started playing our game and that’s when we started to see the score go up.” The Chiefs stormed out of the gates behind the hot shooting of junior guard Eric Grabowski. Grabowski scored Lakeland’s first seven points and nine of the team’s first 11 en route to an 11-2 run. “Getting off to a good start gives you a little bit of a cushion to relax, slow the ball down and try to play your game,” Filarsky said. Junior guard Kyle Kiehart scored the Chiefs’ next nine points and finished with 13 points in the first half. Despite the early lead, Elk Lake fought back to take the lead in the second quarter. The lead changed six times in the second quarter before Elk Lake tied it at 25 before the end of the half. After making just two 3-pointers in the first half, Lakeland hit five in the third quarter. “We went in at halftime and I said that good threes are coming off drive and dishes, not just throwing the ball to each other,” said Lakeland coach Dave Rosenkrans. “We hit a few in the second half, which was great.” The Chiefs coupled their offensive onslaught with stifling defense to give Lakeland a 50-31 advantage at the end of the third quarter. “The past three weeks we’ve been emphasizing defense and we’ve done a really good job holding teams to single-digits in quarters,” Rosenkrans said. “That’s one of the things that these guys realize is that if we’re going to compete with teams like Holy Cross, Riverside and Montrose, we’ve got to play defense.” The Chiefs stretched the lead over 20 points in the fourth quarter. Filarsky secured the victory with a monstrous block with less than four minutes left in regulation to go along with his four 3-pointers that

Comet is working to improve

BY ROBERT TOMKAVAGE rtomkavage@theabingtonjournal.com

Abington Heights wrestler Michael Carr is in the midst of a breakout season and his coach thinks even better results could be on the horizon. “I would say he’s a solid B performer right now,” Abington Heights head coach Chris Calder said of Carr. “He still has a lot of room to improve. A lot of great things Michael Carr can happen to him in the postseason to propel him into next season. I look for his postseason to be an A to A+. I expect to see him in Hershey at the end of the year as one of the last guys to leave the arena at 152 lbs. as a state medalist.” Calder has been pleased with Carr’s development under his guidance. “He’s really good on his feet and is getting better,” the second-year head coach said. “He’s continuing to improve. He’s being coachable and is open to improvement. The more coachable he is, the better he wrestles.” According to Calder, the junior has certain skills that have led to his success. “He’s the leader in the room in number of takedowns and percentage of takedowns on his feet,” Calder said. “That’s what’s opening him up for his wins.” Carr started wrestling at a young age and found his niche in the sport during middle school. “I’ve been going to tournaments and meets since kin-

dergarten, since I was about 5 years old,” he said. “My dad got me involved, but I wasn’t really that into it until the end of seventh grade. That’s when I started wrestling during the spring and fall and decided that I wanted wrestling to be my main sport.” When asked about a favorite match from his career, Carr reflected on his junior high days. “I had a match that went to triple overtime,” he said. “I was truly totally exhausted after it. It was one of the hardest things I can ever remember doing, but I got the win.” Over the years, the junior has admired the skill and grace that top wrestlers exhibit on the mat. “If you’re watching a good wrestler, you grow to appreciate some of the moves and the style,” Carr said. “You

really look at it as an art. Some of the things you watch a wrestler do, you will say that’s beautiful.” Carr has several moves in his arsenal that have been critical to his wins this season. “I’ve really gotten proficient at takedowns and escapes,” he said. “Also, if I can get an arm bar in, I usually get the pin.” Although Carr is not a team captain, he has worked with the younger wrestlers who have shown dedication to the sport. “I have tried to pull some of the guys in the right direction that I know want to have a good high school career,” he said. “If I know they want to take it seriously, I help them out as much as I can.” The Dalton resident credits his head coach for pushing him to work hard all the

time, despite his success. “He’s shown me to leave my ego at the door,” Carr said. “I came in as a freshman after a great year as a junior high wrestler. I thought I was really great, but he showed me that I’m never going to be the best. There is always going to be someone better and I always have to keep working to get there.” Carr, who has a record of 28-4 this season and finished 5-0 in Lackawanna League Division 1 matches, is hoping to end the season on a positive note. “I want to finish in the top three at regionals and make it to states,” he said. Carr, 17, is the son of John and Cecilia Carr. The Comets next meet is the Lackawanna League Tournament on Saturday, Feb. 18 at Scranton High School.

Racing Scouts enjoy event OBITUARIES BY BEN FREDA Abington Journal Correspondent

Cars made by the Factoryville Cub Scout Pack 175 were rolling down the track at the annual Pinewood Derby held on Saturday, Feb. 11 at the Fellowship Hall of Dalton United Methodist Church. Cub Scouts from Pack 175 showed their creativity and building skills by making and designing their own cars. The ranks, which entered the derby, were the Webelos, led by Victor Purdy, the Wolf Den, led by Dan Demora, and the Bear Den, led by Danielle Vokes. Scouts were given a block of wood, wheels and axles to make the cars. Fathers of the Scouts volunteered to weigh the cars which needed to be five ounces or less to enter in the race. “I think the Pinewood Derby is nice. I got to work on a car with my family,” said Pack 175 Cub Scout William Dixon from Dalton. “It’s fun because we hang out with friends and win prizes.” “I made a car and got to race it in the racetrack,” said Pack 175 Webelo Damian Howard from Factoryville. “It’s a lot of fun for the kids,” added Damian’s father, Kevin Howard. “It brings them all together.” Cubmaster Brian Kanuik set the cars on a wooden downhill track three at a time and an electronic eye recorded first, second and third place of each car. Cub Scouts watched with anticipation as their cars zoomed down the race track. They sat behind red “Do Not Enter” tape under ta-

bles surrounding the track. Wolf Den Leader Dan Demora announced the results while assistant Cubmaster Eric Garver recorded them on a laptop. The top three finishers of each rank advanced to the finals. There were also adult races and a race for the slowest car. Trophies were given to Cub scouts whose cars finished from first through fifth place. Michael Kanuik finished in first place, Victor Kanuik in second, Austin Sanko in third, Mathhew Ganly in fourth and Richie Cocchini in fifth . Evan Garver’s car won slowest car overall. In the adult races, Daniel Snyder came in first place, Lucas Wescott, finished second and Thomas Vokes was third. The trophies were sponsored by Kanuik Oil Company.. “I enjoy what the Cub Scouts enjoy,” said Joe Kanuik.. “I’m still a kid at heart.” Kanuik and his daughter Lauren Kanuik are both drag racers. Joe races at 5-Mile Point at Mac-a-Tek, which is near Hamlin. Lauren races at Numidia Dragway in Catawissa. Trophies were also awarded to Cub Scouts for the decorations of the cars. Categories for these trophies included Silliest Car, Best-Looking Car, Most Scout-Like, Most Futuristic and more. These cars were judged by Pastor Brian Lucas, pastor of Dalton United Methodist Church and Factoryville United Methodist Church. “Anything that benefits children is wonderful,” said

Factoryville Borough to buy new truck BY SUE REBENSKY Abington Journal Correspondent

FACTORYVILLE - The Factoryville Sewer Authority will have a new truck this spring if everything goes as planned. During last month’s Factoryville Borough Council meeting, the board approved the purchase of a new truck for the department since the current truck needs more repairs than it is worth. During the meeting held on Wednesday, Feb. 8, an update was given on the truck. The board approved the purchase of a 2012 GMC, eight foot bed, one ton/3500 pickup in the amount of $22,000 and further approved the purchase of a plow package in the amount of $4,800 to also be installed on the truck. The new truck will be purchased

through a state bid from COSTAR and is slated to arrive sometime in the spring. The board also addressed the issue of ongoing bacteria at the current sewer plant. Sewer Operator Steve Swift said, “We are still struggling with some bacteria but we are working on it. The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) was here and we passed, and they confirmed that our department is doing everything we can to stop the bacteria.” Solicitor Paul Litwin questioned if the DEP was concerned that an area of the sewer plant needs covering to stop freezing and, according to Swift, the topic was discussed but no decision was made by DEP.

Litwin advised the board that the engineer and the contractor should be contacted and updated about the situation because it should be covered to stop the freezing of certain equipment. Litwin stated, “We are currently in a time frame and, once it is gone, we will not be able to doing anything with the building. I am advising that you contact the developers and get them up here to look at the plant before it is to late.” The current sewer plant is experiencing freezing due to winds that cross over it, causing equipment to freeze and stop working. Councilman Bill Edwards added that he felt the plant needs covering to protect it from being exposed to the weather.
