Supervisor Dennis Macheska read aloud a notice stating that Falling Springs Water Works, Inc. filed an application for approval with the Susquehanna River Basin Commission for surface water withdrawal of up to 800,000 gallons of water per day from the Falling Springs Reservoir for use in the development of natural gas wells in the Marcellus Shale Region. Pa. State Police Motor Carrier Enforcement Supervisor Rion Stann was in attendance at the request of the supervisors to explain the current rules in existence for heavy trucks traveling local roads. He talked about weight limits on local roads and local traffic exemptions. He covered the benefits of the Township conducting engineering and traffic studies to watch for excessive damage done to its roads.He said once a company’s trucks are determined to be causing excessive damage, the township can then require them to enter into an excessive maintenance agreement. “That means,” Stann said, “Ransom Township will still take care of all the regular maintenance on those roads…But any excessive damage

Monika Wojtynski, 23, of Clarks Summit, said she thinks the new Anti-Texting Law will make the roads much safer, and texting while driving is ’incredibly unsafe’.
AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER
As of 12:01 a.m. March 8, text messaging while driving is a primary offense according to state law, carrying a $50 fine.
Text law sends ‘serious’ message
Blake Spanel, 23, of Clarks Summit, said he thinks texting while driving should never be an option, as it takes the driver’s hands off the wheel and focus off the road. He said it’s just as easy, but much safer, to make a phone call.

She said she sees it happening all the time, especially with young people. “They’re young,” she said. “They think they are above the law.” Damico said she thinks talking on the phone while driving, however, isn’t as dangerous, especially with the use of a wireless ear piece.

Dictionary. D-I-C-T-I-O-N-A-R-Y. Dictionary. Noun. A book containing a selection of the words of a language and their proper spellings, pronunciations and meanings. Example: Sukanya Roy read through the entire dictionary during summer break in preparation for the spelling bee. Roy, 14, of South Abington Township, said it took her a few months to finish reading the dictionary, but even then her task was not complete. As she moved through the eighth grade at Abington Heights Middle School, Roy said when she came home each day she would complete her homework and then study portions of the dictionary with which she was not yet familiar. She also spent a lot of time studying word origins and
patterns in languages. Her hard work paid off, and not only is she the 2009, 2010 and 2011 winner of The Times Leader/Scripps NEPA Regional Spelling Bee, but she also won the Scripps National Spelling Bee in 2011. According to its website, the National Spelling Bee was started in 1925 as a collaboration of nine different newspapers, and its sponsorship was acquired in 1941 by Scripps, a diverse media company. Its purpose, according to the website, “is to help students improve their spelling, increase their vocabularies, learn concepts, and develop correct English usage that will help them all their lives.” Roy said participating in the bee helped her to grow in many different areas, such as avoiding procrastination. “As far as studying goes,” she said, “it takes

SCOTT TWP. - Canio and Susan Padula aim to purchase a piece of property in Scott Township, at 345 Stone School Road, to fulfill a dream of breeding English Setters, to continue the blood line. The Padulas can purchase the property and install a kennel without advising the township board of supervisors because the proposal falls under the current township guidelines. However, they approached the board, which prompted neighbors to attend a planning commission meeting March 6 to voice concerns over the proposed kennel. The Padulas are requesting a Conditional Use Permit to establish a dog breeding facility “Bayview Setters” to be contained in a barn on the property they want to purchase. They said the kennel would not exceed 25 dogs, all dogs would be housed in kennels inside the barn, and selected dogs would be allowed out at given times rather than the kennel population. The area would be fenced. They want to breed and sell dogs on an intermittent basis. The current town regulations allow for a kennel to be built in the zoned area as long as it does not exceed 25 dogs and has proper noise barriers. Bob Sakosky, Chairman of the Planning Board said, “We have reviewed the ordinance and the ordinance stated that a kennel can be built as long as it is beyond 200 feet of an existing building. We have the regulations in place to protect both the property owner and the neighbors, and there are some things we can enforce and some things we can not. Tonight is simply a hearing to review what is presented to us, we then apSee Kennel, Page 8

dedication and hard work,” two attributes that go along with doing well in any subject. She’s found the things she learned from the spelling bee have also come in useful to her as a freshman at Wyoming Seminary in Kingston. She feels better prepared for her French class because of her language studies in preparation for the bee, and frequently recognizes difficult words in other classes, such as history and biology, that she wouldn’t have known the meanings of, were it not for the bee.

‘Gala’ supports seriously ill children
In1987 an idea became a reality. Two young women from Lackawanna County realized the need to help ease the burden of families with seriously ill children, especially when hospitalized. It was then that Ellen Beechko and Regina Peters combined their thoughts and multiple talents and laid the ground work to form a committee of local restaurateurs to participate in an evening of gourmet splendor, decorations and music. Some 30 restaurants participated (with some remaining today) in the first “Gourmet Gala” at Montage Manor in Taylor. Thus, the fundraiser to support “the House that Love Built” was born. Today volunteers are preparing for the 25th Anniversary Celebration of the Gourmet Gala. This year’s theme is “Moulin Rouge” with Carol Mueller (Chairman) and Carol Chisdak (Co-chairman) leading the way. Jennifer Strackbein, Restaurant Chair, said that more than 50 restaurants will be preparing hors d’ oeuvres and delicacies, including an array of sweet treats. Raffle Committee Chair, Sally Venesky, said the “Basket Raffle” will be ongoing throughout the event and winners will take them home that evening. Each basket is valued at $250. Decorations by John Mackey and music of Ken McGraw and Orchestra. Shown, the 25th Anniversary Gourmet Gala Committee meets to plan for the Ronald McDonald House of Scranton fundraising event.

Tower plan gets board OK

Authority begins 3-year expansion BY DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@theabingtonjournal.com

CLARKS SUMMIT- Borough Council voted 6-0 to approve Tower Co’s land development plan for a cell phone tower that will be located on a private property on North State Street. The 150foot tower will be in the form of a flagpole and will be able to hold up to five carriers; however the borough is considering having one antenna available for use of the Emergency Management Agency. Council also voted 6-0 to take the first step toward a regional police force by submitting a letter of intent to the Governor’s Center for Local Government Services. According to Kehoe, Glenburn Twp. and Newton Twp. have shown interest in joining the borough in a regionalized police force. The other interested parties must also submit a letter of intent signed at a public meeting to the Center before a free feasibility study can be conducted. Borough president Gerrie Carey, chair of the Finance Committee, announced that the committee is working “proactively” on direction for the sewer billing when the borough’s contract ends in October. Carey also announced the borough will continue to provide the same service for leaf pickup. Councilperson Patty Lawler, chair of the Grant Committee, gave updates on several grants the borough may receive. According to Lawler, a Community Development Block Grant would go toward financing new sidewalks on Depot Street An American Water grant would target Hosfeld or Leggetts Creek. It would bring in up to $9,000 to dredge, deepen, clean, and beautify them with rain gardens. According to Lawler, the Shade Tree Commission agreed to help plant trees, the Laurel Garden Club agreed to donate the plants, and she will reach out the Abington Lions Club for volunteers. A WREN (Water Resource Education Network) grant is specifically for watershed protection. “If we get this grant, we can do both creeks,” Lawler said. Another grant, valued at more than $10,000, could be used for a public interest project, a community improvement project, an economic development project, roadway improvements, or reasonable administrative costs. The tagline for Earth Day in the borough is “Clarks Summit Goes Green: Reduce, reuse and recycle.” As part of Earth Day activities, Lawler will lead a project: “Pickup Our Old Phone Books at Clarks Summit Elementary School” where students will collect old phone books to recycle from April 1-17.The winning class will receive a $100 check for school supplies, a commemorative T-shirt and they will march in the borough’s Memorial Day Parade. Councilman David Jenkins relayed a message from Fire Chief Jake Hoinowski that there will be no burning permits handed out until further notice due to the dry weather. Council voted to accept business owner Barry Kaplan’s request to prohibit parking on the north side of Barrett Street between the hours of 8 a.m. - 1 p.m. April 28 as part of an electronic recycling event. Kehoe announced that The Refill Station, 213 S. State St., is willing to accept used toner cartridges for recycling.

The Abington Regional Wastewater Authority is getting the ball rolling on improvements to the sewage treatment plant. The Authority manages sewage or wastewater treatment for much of the Abington area. According to the Authority’s website, the group collects anything that goes down the drain in Clarks Green, Clarks Summit or South Abington at the Abington Waste Water Treatment Plant on Route 6 in “the Notch.” There, impurities are removed and clean water is returned to Leggett’s Creek, which is the stream that runs through South Abington Park. On an average day, 125,000 gallons of clean water are produced every hour. The Authority has purchased the land across the street from the treatment plant, and the group is currently applying for permits to begin construction on an expansion. “The plant expansion was designed for many reasons, but the heart of the reason was the Abingtons overall, not South Abington, not Clarks Summit, not Clarks Green, but the Abingtons in general are having major infiltration problems,” said Authority treasurer Gloria Lance of South Abington. Infiltration is excess water that flows into sewer pipes from groundwater and storm water. A majority of the area’s underground collection system was built as early as the 1930s, and as a result they are crumbling and this is creating leaks. The groundwater is getting into the sewage system through the leaks and causing the infiltration. These leaks can increase the flow of liquid to the plant from about 3 million gallons per day to almost 19 million gallons per day. That’s 16 million gallons of once clean water that now requires costly treatment. Each municipality owns its own sewer pipes, and is responsible to fix and repair any leaks, but because everything is underground, it can be difficult to figure out the location of the leak. “The sewer plant is managed to handle waste, not infiltration…it has some leeway to handle infiltration,” said Lance. The plant expansion will allow the plant to begin handling infiltration. This is one of the benefits of the expansion, but it’s not the only reason the Authority decided to begin the projected $34 million project. The cracked pipes also forced the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to put a moratorium on new sewer hookups in the Abingtons, which halted construction in the area. “All of a sudden no building…and workers start getting affected,” said Lance. The moratorium and the infiltration inspired the Authority to draft Act 537. Act 537, which was approved by each municipality last year, outlined every area of what needs to be done from monitoring it, to how the cost will be managed. The approval of Act 537 led the DEP to lift the moratorium. The expansion will also help the area meet its Chesapeake Bay Initiative state requirements. The Chesapeake Bay Initiative requires sewage treatment plants in the Chesapeake Bay watershed reduce the amount of nitrogen and phosphorous they allow to be discharged into the watershed. Lance said that the Authority is hoping to begin construction next year and have expansion completed by 2015. For more information, visit www.abingtonwastewater.org/ home.asp.
One family’s incredible voyages BY JOAN MEAD MATSUI Abington Journal Correspondent

or Suzanne White Yeager of St. Paul, Minn. and her aunt, 92-year-old Catherine (Kay) Hammerman of Clarks Summit, amassing their family’s history has proven to be satisfying in many ways. The two documented their family members as original settlers who arrived on the Mayflower in 1564 and uncovered relatives with “extraordinary lives.” Following her retirement and while living in Atlanta, Ga. in 2010, Yeager took on a genealogy project her Aunt Christine White Tyler, 1912-2006, a lifelong resident of Factoryville, had begun years prior. Tyler wrote letters, visited courthouses, made phone calls, read books and uncovered “anecdotal information” through family conversations, but could not document birth, death, marriage and other pertinent facts. Yeager’s work involved documenting her aunt’s findings and adding “everyone from her grandparents down through the youngest generation.” “It’s important to remember that Aunt Christine did not have the benefit of computers when she was doing her research. She spent many years doing her research. I fully utilized my computer,” said Yeager. Tyler was able to trace one
branch of the tree back to 1564 to family members who made their way to America on the Mayflower. The Mayflower passengers were the earliest permanent European settlers in New England. One relative met his future wife during the trip and the couple was married in 1623 in Plymouth Colony. Yeager discovered that her maternal grandmother and grandfather sailed to America in 1911 with her uncle, who was three months old. Yeager said, “What an incredible amount of courage they must have had to make that journey. Almost 300 years before that, relatives on my father’s side made the same voyage on The Mayflower, leaving behind their families and everything they knew.” She added, “Time and time again, I read about relatives on both sides of the family who led extraordinary lives, whether it was crossing the Atlantic Ocean in 1620 or 1911, fighting for freedom in the American Revolution, putting their lives on the line in the Civil War or serving our country in WWII and Vietnam. Having done this research, I can see just how special my family is.” Approximately 15 years ago, she (Yeager) completed another family tree and wanted to update that tree to include new family members and also produce a chart that she could give to everyone on the list. She had
help from Hammerman, who shared stories of the family’s Welsh heritage, as well as her parents’ journey from South Wales to America. Hammerman said, “I felt badly when everybody else was having family reunions and we were not. I would say to my mother as a child, ‘Mom, why can’t we have a reunion?’ And she would say, ‘And have all of your relatives come over from Wales on boats just so you can have a family reunion?’ I never had a grandmother or knew what a first cousin was like; I could not go to an aunt or an uncle’s home because they were all thousands of miles away. I think in many ways that’s why it produced very strong friendships among the first generation, so they could have someone come to their house or they could go to somebody else’s home…” For Yeager, the most satisfying part of her genealogical journey was reconnecting with her many cousins, many of whom she hadn’t talked to in years. “Because we (cousins) live in different cities and see each other only at weddings, funerals, etc., I am hoping this information will help them connect on a more regular basis and also let them know they come from a very large family.” She described the eight months she spent researching and putting the remaining piec-
es of the puzzle together as enjoyable, addictive and frustrating, but in the end, at the completion of her project, she had uncovered stories of “incredible people” who led “extraordinary lives.” “One of the most important lessons I have learned with this project is that my ancestors came to this country with huge amounts of courage, determination, resilience and very little
else. Their legacy has been the hundreds of people on both sides of my family who have lead very successful personal and professional lives. I’m sure they dreamed and hoped that their journeys would lead to better lives for their children and grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren. We owe them a great deal of gratitude for making those decisions to come to America,” said Yeager.

Along with financial woes, the Vargos cited lack of volunteers as another factor in canceling the event. “People don’t realize the physical help that is needed,� said their daughter, Kehleyr. “Our troop only has five members, which is the minimum for a troop. Five people can’t run it (the event) alone.� The Vargos said that the event usually draws 100 attendees, which include children under ten and their families. Supervision is need for a game room in the gym and the various sectioned off areas for the egg hunt. Help is also needed for counting and distributing eggs, which, according to the Vargos, requires at least four people. After advertising for volunteers, the Vargos said they did not receive any response.

Vickie Vargo, right, and her husband, Al, left, have chaired the annual Easter Party, sponsored by Girl Scout Troop 260 in Newton Ransom for the past three years. Their daughter Kehleyr, center, is part of the five-member troop. “People don’t realize the physical help that is needed,� said Kehleyr. “Our troop only has five members, which is the minimum for a troop. Five people can’t run it (the event) alone.�
“I’m truly heartbroken,� said Vickie. “I understand that the community and especially the children are missing out, and I’m very sorry for that. We just can’t do it without the help.� The Vargos said that they had received lots of positive feedback since taking over the event. Community members seemed especially pleased that this was an event made espe-
cially for younger children who would often “get trampled� at other, larger egg hunts. Money raised from this year’s cookie sales will be kept within the troop, with hopes of being able to host the Easter party next year. Those wishing to volunteer with Troop 260 are asked to call the Newton Recreational Center at 570.586.7808.

SCRANTON - As part-owners of Kelly’s Pub and Eatery in South Scranton for the last 22 years, Peggy Cosgrove and Kathleen Cosgrove Fritch have seen their share of hot wings. In a new business venture separate from Kelly’s, the sisters have branched out and created a hot wing sauce inspired by the restaurant that’s ready to use out of the bottle. “We told the bottler that we wanted the flavor of finished wing sauce,� said Fritch, 42, of Waverly. “When you go to the grocery store, you’re stuck with Frank’s Red Hot and you have to figure out how to make it.� Whether you prefer mild, medium, or hot sauce, Peggy’s Wing Sauce takes the guesswork out of creating a spicy supper or weekend treat with a kick. The first bottles were finished Feb. 20 and delivered to all nine locations of Gerrity’s Supermarkets on Feb. 24. The 7,200 bottles that retail for $4.98 each were filled in Pennsylvania and made using only products grown in the state, Cosgrove, 41, of Scranton’s Green Ridge section, and Fritch said. A Philadelphia-area food consultant helped guide the sisters through the process, and a launch event organized by John Mackey, Cosgrove’s neighbor, was held March 2 at the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel in Scranton.

Lady Comets prepare for state competition BY JOE BARESS Abington Journal Correspondent
After winning a share of the District 2-4 Class AAA girls’ swimming title, Abington Heights high school prepares for the state championships. Abington Heights swimmer Emma Gromelski raced in the 200 medley relay and the 200 free relay, both of which the Lady Comets finished first at districts. “I was happy with my performance at districts,” Gromelski said. “I dropped time and brought home some medals which really helped my team.” Gromelski is among many Abington Heights swimmers who will race in the state playoffs. “We train every day, both physically and mentally, preparing for states,” Gromelski said. “The girls that have already gone are trying to help the younger girls prepare for what they are up against.” After the two relay victories, Abington Heights held a four-point advantage heading into the final day of competition.
The Lady Comets trailed Hazleton Area by eight points with two events remaining in the district championship before Abington Heights Sydney Gualtieri took first in the 100 breaststroke. Gualtieri recorded the only individual victory for the Lady Comets at districts. “I just knew I had to push myself really hard because I knew I had to do that so my team would win,” Gualtieri said. “That was what I trained all season for and I was nervous, but I just had to put that out of my mind and go perform the best I could.” In the final event of the tournament, the Lady Comets’ 400 free relay team of Gromelski, Morgan Muller, Rachel Smertz and Vanessa Lempicky knotted Abington Heights with Hazleton Area at 279. “My team did absolutely phenomenal,” Gromelski said. “They really stepped up to the plate and performed amazingly. I honestly couldn’t be more proud.” See State, Page 6

Step 1: The attacker, in the blue, extends his arms and begins choking the neck. The defender wraps both legs around the waist of the attacker crossing at the feet. Then traps the right arm by crossing his arms over the forearm. The defender hugs the arm tight to his chest and opens his closed guard. Then he places his left foot on the right hip of the attacker. Finally, he holds his knee tightly into the right side of the attacker, whose right arm is now trapped.

This technique, which is part of Macarra BJJ PA Self Defense Series presented by instructors James Simrell and David Walsh, is “Defense for a choke from inside closed guard”
Step 2: The defender’s right hand will slide from the attacker’s right arm. Then he will grab under the left inside thigh of the attacker, and the left arm and leg will stay in position, keeping the attacker’s right arm trapped. Working all movements simultaneously, the left foot of the defender will push off the hip, bringing the left leg over the attacker’s head to the opposite side of his face. The defender’s right leg will rotate under the left armpit aiming his heel toward the attacker’s head. The defender’s right hand will pull under the left thigh pivoting his body from back to the right.
Step 3: The defender should clamp down with both of legs, over the head and under the armpit of the attacker. Then while holding on tightly to the trapped right arm of the attacker, the defender should move hips upward and at the same time lift the right arm that is grabbing the inside thigh upward.
Step 4: This movement of the defender’s body will sweep the attacker to his back, bringing the defender’s body to the upright position. Then the defender will move his hand from the attacker’s thigh and cross it over the defender’s left arm, trapping the attacker’s right arm close to the defender’s chest. Using body leverage, the defender then extend his hips upward and pulls the attacker’s arm back. The attacker has now committed himself to being arm barred. The attacker is now disengaged.

Gualtieri said her team will look to build off its past success and earn personal bests at states. “We’re really hoping we could re-break the records that we broke in both the relays and do as well as we possibly can,” Gualtieri said. Gromelski said she wants her teammates to have fun and give an all-out effort in the tournament. “There is very tough competition and it’s just an awesome experience to have the chance to be a part of,” Gromelski said. “I just want my girls to give it all they’ve got.” The Class AAA State Championships begin March 14 at Bucknell University in Lewisburg and continue through Saturday.

said. “This is the opportunity that he had to take back to our wrestling room and use it to become a leader and showing the other kids that this is what it takes to get to Hershey.” Calder said Carr’s experience at Hershey will not only help him going into next season but also help the team. “We didn’t have any state qualifiers coming back this year and next year we do,” Calder said. “We’re looking ahead to that being a great asset to have in the wrestling room.” Carr will aim to return to the state playoffs next season in his final year at Abington Heights. “He’s got to get physically stronger,” Calder said. “He’s got to maintain some of the skills he does have and develop some of the new skills that he needs to go and compete at a new level at that state tournament.”

Lackawanna Trail senior wrestler Eric Laytos fell just short off the second Class AA State Championship of his high school career while Abington Heights junior Michael Carr faced a tough draw in his first appearance in the Class AAA state playoffs at the Giant Center in Hershey. Laytos reached the gold medal match, but lost to John Rizzo of Richland High School in a 12-3 major decision. “We were the underdog going into it and we knew it,” Lackawanna Trail head coach Jeff Stauffer said. “We just pretty much laid it all out but he (Rizzo) was just too powerful and too technical.” Laytos advanced to the quarterfinals March 8 after pinning Gus Bostdorf of Camp Hill High School. He then pinned Matt Mongera of Seneca High School and defeated Cam Cyphert of Cochranton High School in a 7-2 decision Friday to get into his second gold medal match where he earned second place. “Eric gave it everything he had and he just fell short,” Stauffer said. “Both of us have no regrets from the match whatsoever.” With the loss in the championship match, Laytos leaves behind an illustrious wrestling career with the Lions. In a three-year stretch at Lackawanna Trail, Laytos earned three district championships and one state championship. In his other two trips to states, Laytos finished second and seventh. “It’s a rare thing to get a

Roy was invited to attend by the Times Leader and presented the winner and finalists with their trophies.
Her advice to the contestants: “Don’t be afraid to ask questions when you are at the microphone, because it really helps.” Another thing she found useful was the study guide found on the Scripps National Spelling Bee website, www.spellingbee.com and on www.merriamwebster.com. She said it helps to think about origins and patterns of words and not rush through the spellings, but take as much time as needed. “Most importantly,” she said, “enjoy yourself. Have fun doing it.”

Even if we approve it and make recommendations, the board can say no, make their recommendations or they can just approve it.” Neighbor Jim Kilonsky was not happy with the response . . “I own the house that will be next door to the kennel. We can see the barn from our house and we don’t want it there. Stone School Road is in horrible shape and additional traffic going to a kennel is going to make the road worse. I contacted a real estate agent and they told me my house value will go down if this kennel goes in. I have been trying to sell my house now and can’t. This will make it even worse,” he said. Jack and Paula Banko, who also live near the proposed kennel, expressed concerns. “I have lived in my house for10 years and I am also trying to sell it. We have a horrible road and bad water, now with a kennel, no one will buy our house. Our house has been on the market for three years and no one wants it. We like to have our windows open and now they will have to stay shut. This is not fair to us,” said Jack Banko. Neighbor Jackie Jenkins said , “ I live where the kennel is being proposed and I am not in favor of it at all. Dogs bark . We live

Padula spoke in defense of the kennel. “We didn’t have to bring this to the board and make it public, but we don’t want to hide anything and we were honest about our intent. We will be breeding English Setters and no other types of dogs. I will be breeding two females at a time to hopefully produce ten pups and then they are trained and sold, on an intermittent basis. I would have more cars at my house at one time for Christmas then I will in selling the dogs. I don’t want to hear barking either, I am the closest house and the dogs will be in a self -contained barn and they will not be out all at one time, so there should be minimal barking,” said Padula. He added, “The dogs are a breed of hunting dogs and if we sell ten a year that is a lot…. This will not be a puppy mill. …we are not looking to install big signs advertising our place, and the dogs will be fenced in and never roaming around… .” Sakosky addressed the concerns of the neighbors by stating, “ If there is a problem with the dogs barking and it is ongoing we will see how loud it is and we will test the noise levels. ” Board member Robert Vail Jr. added, “The township cannot decline someone who is follow-
ing the ordinances. If you don’t want the kennel there, then purchase the property. .” The commission approved the Conditional Use permit for the kennel , with one member, Joe Lick, abstaining from vote due to a conflict of interest. Approval included the following guidelines : the only breed of dog to be housed and bred will be English Setters; there is not to

T
wo casts at Abington Heights High School will try and remind theatergoers what is really important when they present “You Can’t Take It With You,” starting March 15. Directed by John Monahan, the play, written by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, tells the story of two families, the Sycamores and the Kirbys. Monahan said he talks with the students each year for input on what play to choose. This year he found a number of students interested in doing a comedy. The director said he’s refrained from choosing comedy in the past because it can be difficult. However this group’s talent and desire for a challenge convinced him to take the chance. Another obstacle that kept him from choosing a comedy in years past was the amount of roles. He said 62 students came out to audition for the 19 available roles in the show. Rather than send more than 40 children away, Monahan decided to try something new and double-cast the show, with each cast performing on a different weekend. “We have 38 students involved on stage, and probably just as many backstage,” said Monahan. “I thought that was better than turning them away if they deserved to be up there.” “I have a lot of admiration for Mr. Monahan with doing this double

said doing it this way has given him less rehearsal time with the cast, requiring the students to do a lot of work on their own time, and so far they’ve been up to the task. In this 1930s comedy, two families are brought together for dinner one night after Tony, the Kirby son, falls in love with Alice Sycamore. Problems arise for the young couple when the Kirbys express their disproval with the Sycamore lifestyle. “Everyone has these quirky little traits,” said Aaron Fleming, who plays Martin Vanderhof in the play. “(My character) likes to collect snakes, one of my sons-in-law collects masks. I suppose back in the day when people saw this it was weirder than it would be now.” “It was written in the 1930s. It has that old fashioned 1930’s feel, which I feel is kind of a golden age for the stage,” said Zoe McNichols, who plays Penelope Sycamore. While the play itself may be old, the message behind it is still very valid. “We decided to do this one because not only is it funny, but it has a really good message about learning to value what’s really important in life, family and relationships over money and material objects,” said Monahan. The public will get a chance to see the results of the hard work when the first cast hits the stage on Friday and Saturday, March 16 and 17 and the second cast on March 22 and 23.

Who plays John Carter in "John Carter"?
Last week the Dietrich kicked off its class series “Here’s Looking at You!” for students ages five to 12 years old. Under the direction of Stephanie Bush, Everhart Museum Educator, students drew self-portraits of themselves and had to think of one word to describe themselves. It was neat to see how engaged these students were in creating their masterpieces. Over the next few weeks they will create even more portraits traditional and imaginative using a variety of media including paints, collage and clay. This class relates to the Everhart’s current exhibit Posing Beauty that is available for viewing at the museum through April 1. We are very lucky to have the Everhart so close to home. We are also fortunate to have the opportunity to see live theatre in our area. I can hardly believe that the Dietrich’s production of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” by Dale Wasserman based on the novel by Ken Kesey is less that a couple of week away. As I am writing this column, the cast and crew are busy painting and creating the set. So much time and talent goes into creating a show and we are the lucky recipients that are able to enjoy it. “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” is the story of a rowdy misfit who lands in a mental hospital to avoid the work farm. At the hospital he doesn’t count on the complex psychological society he’s about to upend, the desperate need of the other downtrodden patients for a leader, or the sadistic control of the calm, smiling head nurse. Mischievous Randle P. McMurphy struggles to discover who really belongs in a mental ward, and realizes that he alone can liberate the patients from the merciless Nurse Ratched. But it just may be the ultimate sacrifice. This community-based production directed by Jennifer Jenkins will be on the Dietrich stage for a five-day run from March 21 to 25. Tickets are available for Wednesday, March 21 at 7 p.m., Friday and Saturday, March 23 and 24 at 7 p.m., and Sunday, March 25 at 3 p.m. You will not want to miss this play. Tickets are $10 each.

New Additions to the Adult Collection “That Woman,” by Anne Sebba. The author, a distinguished historian and biographer, turns her focus on Wallis Warfield Simpson, Duchess of Windsor, who ensnared King Edward VIII and destabilized the monarchy in the 1930s. Born in Baltimore in 1896, Bessie Wallis Warfield endured an impoverished childhood and grew up to live by her wit and her wits, becoming one of the most talked-about women of her generation. Based on new material discovered by the author, this new biography provides fresh insight on the character and motivations of a powerful and complex woman. “Death Comes to Pemberley,” by P. D. James. The author, an acclaimed mystery writer, draws the characters of Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” into a tale of murder and emotional mayhem. Elizabeth and Darcy are living a peaceful, orderly life with their two young sons at Pemberley, Darcy’s magnificent estate, and preparations are underway for their much-anticipated annual autumn ball. Then, on the eve of the ball, Elizabeth’s disgraced sister, Lydia, who with her husband, Wickham, has been banned from Pemberley, arrives in a state of hysteria, shrieking that Wickham has been murdered. While re-creating the world of Jane Austen, P. D. James adds the excitement and suspense of a cleverly crafted crime story.

Community, family priorities for South Abington man The late Lawrence H. Barlow gave children “ opportunity.” BY JOAN MEAD-MATSUI Abington Journal Correspondent
Some of the words used to describe Lawrence H. Barlow are friendly, family-oriented, community-oriented, kind, devoted, wizard, passionate, compassionate and generous. Barlow, 56, a resident of South Abington Township, died suddenly on February18. According to his wife, Marjorie DeSanto Barlow, Esq., Larry Barlow was a family man, who “loved his kids more than anything,” He never missed a performance, recital, game or event his children were part of, said Marjorie Barlow. During his funeral mass, his daughter, Katya said of her father, “He could probably dance the Nutcracker in his sleep.” One of the phrases she (Marjorie) used to describe Larry was, “a devoted father.” The couple met in1985, and in 2001and 2003, respectively, adopted their children, Katya and her biological brother, Collin, from Russia through World Links Association, Inc. Marjorie said, “It was Larry’s idea to adopt the children. I think it was his involvement with Teen Mercy that he wanted to give these children an opportunity. I remember the conversation. ‘We have to do something to give some child an opportunity.” In 2001, they hosted Katya and
“fell in love with her.” The adoption followed. They also adopted her biological brother, Collin in 2003. Larry’s future plans included taking his children on a trip to their homeland, Russia, and to Ireland where Barlow has family, so the children could meet his cousins. Larry Barlow was born February 26,1955, in Dunmore, son of Harold Barlow, Dunmore, and the late Mary Judge Barlow. He grew up in Dunmore and graduated from Dunmore High School in1973. As a teenager, he spent several summers working on the railroad, as a deliveryman for Gannon’s and for the post office. He was a 1977 graduate of The University of Scranton with a dual major in computers and accounting. Throughout his professional career, he was employed by Credit Union Systems, CUSA Computer Services, Veryss Computer Services, and Contel and LeHigh Data Systems Partner Data Search. Most recently, he was the business manager for DeSanto and Barlow P.C. where he handled bankruptcy and tax work, which involved “numbers crunching,” one of his specialties. Larry Barlow also put his business and people skills to work as an active member of local organizations including Community Life Support
Ambulance, Board Member; Teen Mercy; the Finance Committee of The Church of St. Gregory’s; Chairman of the Board of the Dante Literary Society; Scranton Prep Parents Club; Victor Alfieri Society; Scranton Unico National; and Villa Capri Cruisers. He also earned the Eagle Scout Award through Troop 88, St. Mary’s Dunmore. Tim Rowland, Lackawanna County Coroner and chief executive officer for Community Life Support Ambulance, a nonprofit ambulance service providing 911and medical transportation services in Lackawanna and Wyoming Counties, characterized Larry Barlow as a “wizard.” “Larry was just one of those guys that without even a calculator could figure out things,” said Rowland. Larry joined the nonprofit board approximately eight years ago, serving as finance chairman until the time he passed and bringing his astute business sense to an organization. Rowland worked with Barlow on day-to-day financial issues, but he and Barlow were also friends. “He also became a good friend of mine. But as a board member, it’s not likely that we’ll find someone to replace him. Larry Barlow was one of those guys who would do whatever for the community. He was a community-oriented guy. He was always accessible to talk to and knew everything.” In the works is a building project – a new 8,500 ft. ambulance facility on Keyser Avenue in
Impressions Media acquired by Versa Capital Shitut named President & CEO
WILKESBARRE – Impressions Media announced Monday that it has been acquired by Prashant Shitut Versa Capital Management LLC. Impressions Media operates The Times Leader, several community papers, associated websites and digital media businesses that serve communities in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The terms of the sale were not disclosed. Prashant Shitut has been named president and CEO of the company, effective immediately. Shitut has more than 20 years of experience in the industry. He has held a variety of senior leadership roles at the company, working under different corporate ownerships prior to becoming president in early 2009. He was a recipient of the company’s “Executive of the Year” award in 2007. He completed his graduate studies in Scranton and serves on the boards of a variety of community organizations. “We are very pleased to have consummated the acquisition of Impressions Media,” commented Gregory L. Segall, chairman and CEO of Versa Capital Management LLC. “The company will now move forward as a well-capitalized community newspaper and digital media business that will continue to serve its communities with locally focused content.” Versa Capital Management LLC, which is based in Philadelphia, has diverse investments in manufacturing, food service and media including the companies Polartec, Bell and Howell, Allen Vanguard, Black Angus Steakhouse
chain and Ohio Community Media, which includes newspapers and websites serving communities in northern and western Ohio. “We are thrilled to have the backing and confidence of a well-run company with expertise in a variety of businesses,” said Shitut. “We expect to continue on the path of a vibrant multimedia company. Our growth and achievements clearly indicate that our products and services provide value to our readers and advertisers. “It is exciting to begin this new chapter in our continuing growth with an experienced partner such as Versa,” said Shitut. “We see great opportunity to grow as a multimedia company in Northeastern Pennsylvania.” Shitut credited the employees of Impressions Media for “excellent work.” He added: “They did not get distracted by rumors and remained focused on their mission to serve our readers, clients and the community. I am very proud of their achievements, which are reflected through our audience growth, market share gains and overall standing in the community.” Impressions Media owns and operates The Times Leader, The Sunday Dispatch in Pittston, The Dallas Post, The Abington Journal, Go Lackawanna, and several shoppers and niche publications, as well as many websites. The company also has a thriving new media business. In addition to the news and information websites, the company has launched several digital marketing and advertising products for small to mid-size businesses. Website development, social media marketing, search engine optimization and QR code marketing are among many services provided by the company. In leveraging its state-of– the-art manufacturing facility, the company also provides
printing, packaging and related services to publishing houses in Pennsylvania and surrounding states. Shitut cited several achievements, including a recently published Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC) report that showed that The Times Leader and its branded editions reached more than 70,000 homes on Sunday, and more than 40,000 homes daily, on a five-day average. The Times Leader online audience has continued to grow, too. According to Google Analytics, timesleader.com saw more than 783,000 unique visitors for September 2011, an increase of 26 percent compared to September 2010. “This success allows us to be an active partner in the community, presenting events such as Great Women of NEPA and the local Scripps National Spelling Bee, which led to a local student becoming the national champion speller in Washington,” said Shitut. The company is committed to providing local news for readers in print and online and creating products that help our customers and clients achieve their goals. The company has a history that dates back to newspapers of the Wyoming Valley in the 19th century. In 1907, two papers merged to form The Times Leader. In 1939, three papers merged to create the Wilkes-Barre Publishing Co. In 1978, Capital Cities Communications Inc. purchased the publishing company. Other changes followed: The Times Leader launched a Sunday paper in 1987; in 1996, Capital Cities/ABC merged with Disney; a $15 million production facility was installed in 1997; Disney sold The Times Leader to Knight-Ridder Inc. in 1997; by 2006, Knight-Ridder had sold The Times Leader to the McClatchy Co., which sold the paper to a newly formed Wilkes-Barre Publishing Co.
Scranton that will house the ambulance service offices and the organization’s vehicles. “…This is kind of Larry’s dream to do this…We will certainly at the completion of this project do something in that building to memorialize Larry. We’re looking for someone like Larry to take his place and it’s not likely we’ll find anyone to do that…We are devastated over this (his death).” Larry Barlow was also on the board of directors of Teen Mercy, an organization that helps underprivileged kids and teens who are considered at risk. According to Jerry Bauman, Founder of Teen Mercy, he (Barlow) was personally involved in the organization on all levels including working with the teens, assisting with programming, fundraising, and mentoring teens. “That’s why Larry and I became such close friends because he “walked the talk…When I would say, ‘Hey Larry, I need some help.’ He’d say, “Well, let’s go.” He added, “He could walk up to a complete stranger and have a conversation with him like they were friends for10 years. He was

both distractions and are both dangerous. She said of the new law, “I think it’s wonderful.” Others, however, feel the law isn’t such a good idea. Jerilynn Bytheway, 43, of Newton, said she thinks it’s a “stupid law,” because texting is just one of many distractions facing drivers on the road. “If you can listen to the radio and have kids fighting in the back seat while driving,” she said, “using your phone is no different.” She said she believes it is possible to text and drive responsibly. Domenic Rosiak, 21, of Nicholson, said he thinks it depends on the driver. “There are good drivers, and there are bad drivers,” he said. While he can see the purpose behind the law, he said he also sees no problem with texting while driving on a dirt road with no traffic. Blake Spanel, 23, of Clarks Summit, said he can see both sides. And while he’s glad the state has put a ban on texting, he hopes it doesn’t ban talking on the phone while driving. He said texting responsibly is not an option, and he feels it’s a lot easier and safer to just make a phone call. Erin Waters, Spokesperson for PennDOT, said the department wants to educate citizens on the dangers of distracted driving, especially as technology advances and people become more and more comfortable with multi-tasking. She said driving should be a person’s primary task when they are on the road, whether it’s the law or not. “There are several studies that confirm you aren’t paying attention to the roadway when distracted,” she said, adding that reading or sending the average text message is equivalent to closing your eyes for five seconds while traveling the length of a football field.

Happy Hatters convene Domenic Rosiak, 21, of Nicholson, said he understands the reasoning behind the new law, but doesn’t think it will be very effective. He feels it is possible for a driver to text responsibly, especially if he is on a road with no traffic.

CLARKS SUMMIT- The Abington Heights School Board decided to implement a change in the way grades in the district are calculated during its work session March 7. Currently, students in the high school enrolled in honors and advanced placement (AP) courses have their final grade increased 5 percent each quarter, on the midterm and on the final exam. Starting next year, students taking an honors course will have their grade increased 3 percent, AP courses 5 percent, and rather than increase the grade six times per year, the district will do it once at the end of the year on the students’ transcripts. The final grade the student receives overall for the year on the transcript will be the same as it would have been if it had been added six times, but the district feels that by doing it once a year it will give the students a better idea of where they stand, and what they actually earned. “What happens because of the way we do it?” said Assistant Superintendent Thomas Quinn, Ph.D. “Well, one of the consequences are there are some milestone thresholds in the academic world that we actually tend to push kids over if they get close enough.” Two examples Quinn gave of this is a student actually earning an 87 for the quarter, but being put on the honor roll and, in what he described as an extreme example, a student in one of these classes could be failing the course with a 63 but still pass. These examples are all ramifications of the increase being added six times per year. “In a sense, what occurs to me is we protect our high achieving kids from confronting their actual achievement, because we inflate our periodic reports of what that achievement is,” said Quinn. The transcript students send when applying for college will
have the increased grade. In other news, Superintendent Michael Mahon Ph.D., announced that the district will not be offering the Mandarin Chinese program next year to comply with the ruling made by a hearing examiner late last month. The district started offering the class in 2010 through a partnership with The University of Scranton. In 2010, The University of Scranton’s Asian Studies Program was in the process of trying to establish a Confucius Institute, a nonprofit public institution that aims to promote Chinese language, culture and support Chinese teaching internationally. The university was looking for a high school to partner with in the hopes it would make their application more appealing. Abington Heights became that school, and China’s Henan College of Education gave both schools a partial grant and provided each with a teacher to teach the classes. The Abington Heights Education Association filed a charge of unfair practices with the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board in November of 2010, stating the class was in violation of the teachers’ contract, as the teacher was not a member of the bargaining unit. The hearing examiner ruled in favor of the association February 24. Mahon explained the district attempted to resolve the matter on their own, promising the association, among other things, that no language teacher would be furloughed while the program was in place. “What the association wanted was we had to agree this would only be two years long, and while the initial plan was to have it for two years, it’s not for me to say we’re going to cut a potentially good program after two years.” Board members said the response they have heard from the community over the elimination of the program has been negative. The board will meet again for its monthly meeting March 21.
