RANSOM TWP. - Kathy Zielinski, Ransom Township secretary-treasurer gave her resignation at an emergency meeting held Monday evening, March 19, after irregularities were found during an audit of the township finances, according to Solicitor Edmund Scacchitti. Details of what the auditors found have not yet been disclosed, and Scacchitti estimated the audit could take another 60 days to complete. He said the auditors presented their findings to the supervisors, who brought them to Zielinski, who immediately resigned. He said the matter was brought to the district attorney’s office Tuesday morning. Supervisor Dennis Macheska, who is acting as secretarytreasurer until a replacement can be found, said Zielinski has been with the Township since 1994. “It’s unfortunate because Kathy was a valued employee,” Scacchitti said, adding that there’s a lot of sadness in the township regarding the situation. He said he is unable to comment further at this time, as all of the details have not yet been revealed.

Editor: Having the opportunity to take Chinese as a language at Abington Heights is a great addition to the language choices. We are thankful for the opportunity to learn the language and about the culture of China. However, we are very disappointed that it will be discontinued for reasons we do not understand. As students of the Chinese level one class, we were looking forward to our second year of the Chinese curriculum. China has become a very influential country in the business world. Chinese students
are learning and studying in English beginning in third grade. Because of this, it is important for Americans to pursue learning the Chinese language and culture. We are asking everyone to work together to find a solution and put the Chinese language back into the Abington Heights curriculum.

py that she has so many people to celebrate with.” Principal Bob Bugno did not think twice when Rosey’s kindergarten teacher, Danielle Lindelman, approached him about having the celebration during school hours. “I said ‘Sure why not’,” Bugno said. “I truly believe that these kinds of experiences for kids are just as important as the math and the sciences and reading as far as developing them as human beings. I think learning about differences and being able to openly discuss situations like Rosey’s is great for kids. It’s OK to be different, it’s OK to have unique characteristics about you. I think we need to recognize those differences in kids, celebrate them and help them be the best that they can be.” According to Cindy Holmes, Rosey, who has Down syndrome, was diagnosed at 13 months of age with leukemia (AML) within 24 hours at Geisinger Janet Weis Children’s Hospital. “From the start, they were very upbeat with her prognosis,” Holmes said. “Kids with Down syndrome have a higher rate of leukemia, but they respond extremely well to treatments. We knew we were in the right place. She underwent seven months of chemotherapy and has been in remission since March 2007. “To be in remission for five years is a big milestone as far as cancer goes and we’re humbled with the support from the school.” Rosey’s special education teacher Sarah Sokso said she is very impressed with the kindergartener’s will and determination to thrive in the classroom despite her challenges. “She’s a miracle,” Sokso said. “She’s an inspiration to everyone. She is so independent, you can just tell with a wonderful job her parents and family did raising her. Every day she has a positive attitude. She loves to learn, she’s like a sponge and she loves to be successful. She loves being able to do things by herself. She doesn’t like a lot of help which is awesome.” Brian Holmes is thankful to live in a community that is so compassionate to his daughter. “I feel very blessed and grateful to have grown up in an area with people who rally around an event like this,” he said. “If something like this raises awareness for childhood leukemia in the area it would be a great thing.”

‘Sit and Sew’ event a success By Elizabeth Baumeister lbaumeister@theabingtonjournal.com
A
patchwork of people, each with different skills and abilities, joined forces at the Abington Community Library to piece quilt tops March17, National Quilting Day. Some stitched the pieces of fabric together, while others ironed out the seams, trimmed the edges, or performed various other tasks. A total of 36 people participated in the event throughout the day, some working from start to finish, and others contributing whatever amount of time they were able. Together, they pieced 25 quilt tops in five hours. The quilts will be donated to children in area hospitals through Project DJ, a local volunteer program, and the event was sponsored and run by the Always in Stitches quilting group. “We call ourselves ‘Always in Stitches’ because we’re always laughing,” said event organizer Susan Potenzano, of Clarks Summit. The atmosphere of the event, although busy, was friendly and welcoming. Linda Newberry, of Scott Township, who has been a member of the group since it started about six years ago, said this same atmosphere exists at all the group’s meetings. “We have fun,” she said. Diana Vass, of Newton, who was ironing seams at a table with Newberry, agreed, saying, “It’s a wonderful group.” She added that although their weekly Tuesday meetings consist mostly of “show and tell” times, members don’t come to show off, but are interested in seeing what others are working on. “A lot of us won’t schedule appoint-

Recently the Dietrich hosted a movie “Under Our Skin” followed by a Q & A session on the subject of Lyme disease. What a crowd came out! More than 200 adults attended to learn more about this disease that affects so many in our area. The question was asked of those who attended if they were ever diagnosed with Lyme and about two-thirds of the audience raised their hands. From what I learned, it definitely seems like the disease is difficult to diagnose and if not treated can cause a multitude of health problems. We would like to thank Robin Arnold of the Endless Mountains Lyme Disease Support Group for organizing the event and Dr. Cameron, Lyme disease expert, for coming all the way from Mt. Kisco New York to answer our questions. We could hardly believe that the Q & A session lasted 90 minutes, the same length as the movie Under Our Skin, and could have gone on longer. For those of you who are interested in learning more about Lyme disease, you can visit Dr. Cameron’s website lymeproject.com. In addition to hosting educational events, the Dietrich will also present live theatre this month. And for those of you who are ready to be entertained, tonight is the opening night of the Dietrich’s play “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” by Dale Wasserman based on the novel by Ken Kesey. There has been much anticipation and excitement surrounding this communitybased theatre production’s five-day run. I can tell you first hand that the cast is spectacular. And the Dietrich’s Jennifer Jenkins has done a superb job of directing the show. Tickets are available for Wednesday, March 21 at 7 p.m., Friday, March 23 at 7 p.m., Saturday, March 24 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, March 25 at 3 p.m. For those of you who are not too familiar with the novel or play, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” is the about 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 See Dietrich, Page 7

ments on Tuesdays…Even my kids, I tell them not to call me,” Newberry said, laughing. Potenzano said she’s wanted to put together an open house for the group the past few years, but it never worked out. This year, she got the idea to do a service project for Project DJ, and National Quilting Day provided the perfect opportunity. Marjorie Price, of Tunkhannock, has volunteered with Project DJ since moving into the area about 5 years ago, and has been quilting for about 20 years. She said the project was started in Trucksville by a mother who lost her son to cancer, and most of the quilts go to children who are sick in hospitals. She said the group also donated quilts last year to children who were affected by the September flooding in West Pittston, Meshoppen and Tunkhannock. Potenzano said Always in Stitches members also donate quilts and other sewing projects to various charities and organizations. Their latest project involves sewing dresses to be sent to young girls in Kenya, Africa. They also make pillowcases to donate to ConKerr Cancer, a group which then distributes them to children in hospitals. She said the group has completed more than 70 of these pillowcases since mid-January. Always in Stitches also made several quilts which were auctioned to raise money for several community organizations including the Abington Community Library; Curves, for use in their fund raising efforts for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation; Griffin Pond Animal Shelter; Ronald McDonald House; the Divali Celebration and more. Members are currently working on a quilt for Geneva School and another for The Sno Mountain Ski Patrol. The group was started by Retired Senior Volunteer Program facilitator Peg Winter, of Jermyn, and is comprised of about 20 members who meet at the library every Tuesday from 10 a.m. to noon during the months of September through May. Winter said she also teaches a class for “newbies” following the regular group meetings, and many of the current members started off in that class. The group welcomes all skill levels and is always looking for new members. “Anyone’s welcome to join,” Potenzano said. “It’s not a closed group.” Abington Community Library Director Leah Rudolph said the group has done an amazing number of things in the six years they’ve been together. “This Library-based group is so much more than a creative outlet,” she said via e-mail. “It offers friendship, support and community service. Always in Stitches, sewing, laughing, or crying, they do it together.”

Natalie Smirne won’t let a spinal cord injury stand in her way When Smirne was 20 years old and a student at Wilkes University, she was riding in a car with a friend. They had a very serious accident, the car flipped five times, and Smirne was thrown from it. She injured her spine at the T vertebrae, causing paralysis from the chest down. Smirne spent a month as an inpatient at Allied Rehab Hospital in Scranton, where she worked with physical therapist Gina Tomassoni, who specializes in working with patients with Spinal Cord Injuries. Smirne had also broken her wrist in the accident, making therapy even more challenging. Still, she says Tomassoni was able to help her gain strength and learn to transfer herself in and out of her wheelchair. “Gina was great,” says Smirne. “She made me feel so much more independent.” Approximately 12,000 people suffer a spinal cord injury (SCI) annually, often resulting in a loss of mobility.

OBITUARY Paul Joseph Gilroy March 12, 2012
Paul Joseph Gilroy, 90, Clarks Summit, died Monday, March 12, in Commonwealth Home Health and Hospice of Northeast PA. after a brief illness. His beloved wife of 50 years, the former Joyce Longstreet, died in 2002. Paul’s selfless devotion to his wife was exemplified by the care he gave her during the 5 years preceding her death. He was born April 24, 1921, in Dunmore and was the son of the late Paul and Josephine Trotta Gilroy. He had lived in Clarks Summit since 1956. He was a 1939 graduate of Dunmore High School. He attended The University of Scranton before transferring to Marquette University, Milwaukee, Wisc., where he received his bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1949. Paul was inducted into the Army on August 7, 1942. Honorably serving his country, he sailed to North Africa in 1943 to escort German prisoners of war to Camp Hamilton, N.Y. After returning to North Africa, he traveled to Italy via British ships. On Friday May 19, 1944, Sergeant Gilroy was one of 11 soldiers who rolled into the town of Gaeta, Italy, in a reconnaissance car while Nazi miners and sappers were engaged in sowing boobytraps and other obstacles in the path of the Allied forces. The Germans expected the Allied forces to assault the strong Nazi fort at Gaeta, but instead the fort was bypassed and the town was taken by Sergeant Gilroy and his comrades. Sgt. Gilroy returned home on leave in 1945 after his service in Italy. The war ended very soon thereafter as
did Gilroy’s service to our country. His professional career as a Mechanical Engineer began when he joined the firms of Dupont, Bellante & Clause, and Babcock & Wilcox, between 1952 and 1957. He continued his career as a Mechanical Engineer, having been employed by VonStorch & Burkavage in 1958, Burkavage & Evans, and retiring from Burkavage Design Associates in 1989. Paul was a devoted parishioner of Our Lady of the Snows Church in Clarks Summit. Paul loved baseball and golf and could always be found watching the Golf Channel and reading Golf magazine. His grandchildren were the joy of his life and he loved talking to them and teaching them tricks. The family would like to thank the physicians and nurses of Commonwealth Home Health and Hospice of Northeast Pa. as well as the 8th floor of Regional Hospital of Scranton for their kindness and compassion. Surviving are two daughters, Christine Ann Gilroy, Clarks Summit, with whom he resided; Paula Jean Gilroy and her husband, Philip Patton, Cedar Falls, Iowa; two sisters, Rose Nardozzi and Catherine Pachuk, both of Dunmore; two granddaughters, Noelle and Elise Patton, both of Cedar Falls, Iowa. He was preceded in death by two sisters, Margaret Greene and Mary Dean.

WAVERLY- There were a few guests at the March 12Waverly Township Board of Supervisors meeting, including Maria Wilson and Lou Houck on behalf of the Waverly Community House, or The Comm. Maria Wilson, executive director, expects three vacancies on the Board of Trustees for The Comm and requested recommendations from the Supervisors. In 2009, the Waverly Comm started a “conserve energy project” with the initiative to save on heating costs, insulate and upgrade the heating. The Building and Grounds Committee met and agreed that the project will pay for itself over time with the reduction in heating costs . Wilson also hopes to replace the current lights with period lights as well as replace the steel doors leading to the playground. The township sets aside a portion of their yearly budget for the Waverly Community House and has approved a motion to fund the insulation project as requested for $8,640. In the Manager’s Report, Bill White expressed concern about the tax collection committee and earned income tax. A letter listing all the residents was sent to the township and there was an error of 164 residents not included on the list. White called a
Sewage Treatment Plant upgrade required The Waverly Township Sewer Treatment Plant effluent requirements have changed as a result of the Chesapeake Bay initiative to clean the waters that flow to the Bay. Waverly Township is in the Susquehanna River watershed and the sewage treatment drains to the Bay. Discharge requirements are mandated by the EPA and DEP. The Waverly Township Sewage Treatment Facility is required to meet updated discharge criteria by the end of 2013. To do so, certified waste water treatment operatorsTom James and Steve Bray and ownship Supervisors, have been working with township engineers to ude the most efficient and inexpensive means possible. The Waverly Township treatment plant utilizes a “lagoon system” to treat effluent from the existing sewage collection system. The system, developed and put in place in 1986 at a cost of $1.2 million is efficient, but imited in its capacity to consistently meet ammonia-nitrogen discharge parameters or the pending nutrient reductions. The revised regulations will require substantial reduction in the amount of nutrients in the discharge. Waverly Township is obligated to develop plans. As designed and operated, the existing system will either need to be modified, upgraded or replaced. To identify a cost effective solution, the Township has explored options.

Swimmers reflect on trip to states Five Abington Heights’ swimmers competed in the PIAA Championships. BY JOE BARESS Abington Journal Correspondent
Five Abington Heights High School swimmers raced for the Lady Comets in the Class AAA Swimming and Diving State Championships March 14-15 at Bucknell University. Abington Heights only individual competitor, freshman swimmer Sydney Gualtieri, raced in the 100 breaststroke and placed 30th. “We did a really good job,” Gualtieri said. “We went down there expecting to do about that. Gualtieri also raced in both relays Abington Heights competed in at states. The Lady Comets 200 medley relay team finished 21st while their 200 free relay team finished 24th overall. “They all swam their hearts out, so place didn’t even matter to me,” senior Emma Gromelski said. “We swam some of our fastest times, so I couldn’t be happier.” Gromelski raced in both the 200 medley relay and the 200 free relay at states. “I am very happy with my performance at states,” Gromelski said. The competition there is tough, so all I could shoot for is doing my best and giving it all I could have, which I did.” Senior Vanessa Lempicky also swam in both relays for the Lady Comets. “I think overall we did the best we could,” Lempicky said. “I was really happy with it.” Sophomore Morgan Muller also competed in the 200 free relay and freshman Rachel Smertz swam in the 200 me-
dley relay. “It’s been a long season and I just wanted to end it with a good race,” Smertz said. “I think me and my relay team did all we could to do that against the tough competition.” After winning a share of the district championship and earning a berth in the state tournament, Gromelski swam her final two races for Abington Heights and will graduate at the end of this school year. “The thing I’m going miss most is the bonds I have made with my teammates and coaches,” Gromelski said. “So many good friendships have come from swimming as a Lady Comet.” The Lady Comets will also lose Lempicky from next year’s team. “I’ll miss the team because we’re such a family,” Lempicky said. “It’s not like any other sport.” Gualtieri, Muller and Smertz will return to the Lady Comets next season. Smertz said the state championships will give her experience heading into her sophomore year. “It definitely gave me a taste of really hard competition and will prepare me for competition in the future,” Smertz said. “It showed me how hard I need to work to get to that level.” Besides Gualtieri, Muller and Smertz, the Lady Comets will have 13 more underclassmen returning to next season’s squad. “I think that if the team keeps up the hard work they are going to be a force to reckon with,” Gromelski said. “There is so much talent that I think that if they work hard and stay focused, they are going to have an excellent season next year.”

Waverly cousins win at tournament
Area youngsters excel on the wrestling mat. BY ADRIANE HEINE Abington Journal Correspondent
Cullen Ratchford, 10, and his cousin, Sam Stevens, 7, both won first place at the Abington Rookie Round Robin Tournament at the Abington Heights High School March 4. Both boys wrestle for Summit Wrestling Club and attend Waverly Elementary School. They were coached by Matthew Dailey. The boys have been doing Jiu Jitsu at Pride Lands Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy in Clarks Summit for several years. Pride Lands
is owned by Cullen’s father, Jason Ratchford. Sam started wrestling in the folk or collegiate style two years ago and his cousin joined him at Summit Wrestling this season for the first time. The years of work on the mat proved to be a solid base from which to learn the new style. “Cullen and Sam are on the mat all year round, which may be why they have been so successful,” Jason Ratchford said. “It’s a privilege to coach them. They want so much to train. They love it. When class is over, these two are still working.” Stevens enjoys using the skills that he has devel-

Jason Ratchford saw a need for yearround training to supplement the seasonal pro-
uation while J.C. Show was hitting two free throws to give Abington Heights its last lead. When Maurice Watson fouled out, coach Maurice Watson had originally inserted Pasquale Dimascio into the lineup. After one foul shot, the coach went with his younger son instead. One referee originally sent Tymir Watson back to the bench, saying he could not enter at that point, before another correctly allowed him into the game. Coach Watson said he was not sure of the right ruling at the time and See Comets, Page 11
Keystone wins Ethics Award The National Soccer Coaches Association (NSCAA) of America honored the Keystone College women’s soccer team with the 2011 NSCAA Team Ethics Award. The Giants earned the Silver Award, honoring a season where they went without a single red card, while also earning less than five total yellow cards. In addition to Silver, the NSCAA handed out Gold and Bronze Ethics awards, with just 88 total teams from across all levels of both men’s and women’s college soccer gaining recognition. Thirteen intercollegiate teams received the NSCAA’s Gold Team Ethics Award for completing the entire 2011 season without receiving either a yellow or red card, while a total of 55 teams claimed the Silver Award. The Bronze Award went to20 teams, which is presented to teams that receive no reds and a maximum of 10 yellows. The Giants, under firstyear head coach Noel Cox, finished the season with a 6-10-1 overall mark, their highest win total since a six win 2004 season.

Abington Heights held Maurice Watson to 14 points, more than eight below his average. They held Greenlee to just two points after he scored 15 in the first half. After Taylor pushed Boys Latin into the lead, Abington Heights surged back in front, 52-47, with five minutes left.

Marquis Marshall hit his fourth and fifth 3-pointers of the game with 1:13 and :48 left to cut what had been a 10-point deficit in the third quarter and an eight-point deficit in the fourth to 55-53. T.J. Murray answered at the line each time for Abington Heights. He hit both ends of a one-and-one with 1:02 left for a five-point advantage. Then, he made the front end with 4.8 seconds left meaning that Marshall’s failed 3-point attempt at the buzzer was only for the tie, rather than the win. Marshall, the son of former NBA player Donyell Marshall, had 20 points. He had 11 in the first quarter when the Saints took a 19-10 lead. Show, who had 10 points, and Patrick Calvey each hit two 3-pointers in the second quarter when the Comets raced back to take a 33-26 lead. “We knocked down our shots and never got rattled when they made a big shot,” Show said.

Vehicle shown with optional equipment. 1. The Pre-Collision System is designed to help reduce the crash speed and damage in certain frontal collisions only. It is not a collision-avoidance system and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors, such as speed, driver input and road conditions. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further information. 2. All the airbag (AB) systems are Supplemental Restraint Systems. All ABs (if installed) are designed to inflate only under certain conditions and in certain types of severe collisions: frontal and knee ABs typically inflate in frontal collisions; side and side curtain ABs in side collisions; Roll-Sensing Curtain ABs at a severe tilt degree, roll or lateral G-force. In all other accidents, the ABs will not inflate. To decrease the risk of injury from an inflating AB, always wear seatbelts, sit upright in the middle of the seat as far back as possible and do not lean against the door. Do not put objects in front of an AB or around the seatback. Do not use a rearwardfacing child seat in any front passenger seat. The force of an inflating AB may cause serious injury or death.

The other half goes back into the state where it was raised and Friends of NRA State Fund Committees decide on programs and projects to fund . The State Fund Committee grants funds to qualifying applicants such as shooting ranges, local high school shooting teams and youth clubs (e.g. 4-H, Boy Scouts, etc.).
