Taste of the town BY ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER Abington Journal Reporter

After the flooding began Sept. 8 and 9, Proctor and Gamble started putting together a plan at around 6 p.m. on Sept.11to help the communities affected.

The station has been operating from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. since the evening of Sept.11. The service in-

CLARKS SUMMIT- For the seventh year in a row, the Rotary Club of the Abingtons is providing the community with a chance to sample a variety of local foods, including everything from appetizers and entrees to desserts and specialty coffees. The club’s “Taste of The Abingtons” is hosted by the Nichols Village Hotel and Spa, 1101 Northern Boulevard, Clarks Summit, and will be held Sept. 25 from 5 to 8 p.m. Tickets can be purchased for $25 at the door or from any Rotary Club of the Abigntons member. John Hambrose, Chairperson of the event, said more than 100 local restaurants were invited to participate this year and he hopes to have 25 to 30 there. A serving station is set up for each vendor to offer a sampling dish from its establishment. Hambrose said the event benefits its vendors by giving them a chance to reach the community and get the word out about their businesses. And it benefits the community by providing a chance to socialize and taste the different foods the area has to offer. He said it can be especially useful to people

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Editor: Thousands of horses, foals, and stallions are being killed with massive yearlong roundups conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Government helicopters swoop down low and chase these horses to exhaustion until they can’t run anymore and are trapped. Ten percent die from this trauma; some give birth while running; many fracture their legs; and some have to be euthanized. There are more than 41,000 thousand of these horses in captivity. Over 15,000 are crammed into pens and locked. They live “butt to butt” for their entire lives. These conditions are all at taxpayers’ expense. Madeline Pickens, wife of billionaire mogul T.Boone Pickens, said she has offered to take these horses from the government, but the government has refused to give them to her. She has more than 1,000 square miles of land available for these horses to roam. Aren’t we in a deficit crisis? Why doesn’t the U.S. give the horses to Madeline, and save the taxpayers money? Please tell congress, the President, Vice President, the director of the BLM, Bob Abbey, and Secretary of the Interior, Ken Salazar to suspend all wild horse roundups. Ask that they give these horses to philanthropist Madeline Pickens, and save taxpayers millions of dollars. She is committed to this promise of Saving America’s Mustangs and our western heritage.

On Sept. 17, before the best and brightest non-profit groups in the United States and in an “Oscar-style” presentation, Marley’s Mission was selected “Best New Charity” in the United States. The Award, sponsored by StayClassy, a leader in social fundraising for nonprofits, had announced several weeks ago that Marley’s Mission had succeeded in becoming a Top 3 Finalist in the CLASSY Awards in the category of Best New Charity. StayClassy and their sponsors handed more than $150,000 to CLASSY Award Winners in a variety of categories. Marley’s Mission president Gene Talerico was honored that his organization was selected for the award. “To have the ability to be on a national stage competing against quality organizations for such an award is both humbling and flattering,” Talerico said. “To win is breathtaking for all of us in the organization.” Talerico gives credit to the people on Northeastern Pennsylvania for helping the organization continue to grow. “I take the most pride in the fact that we are such a grassroots organization,” he added. “The region has propelled us forward.” The CLASSY Award was accepted by Marley’s Mission Founder & Program Director, April Loposky, who was accompanied to the stage by Rebecca Haggerty, Vice-President of the Board of Directors. Talerico was unable to attend because of prior commitment, but his likeness was present in San Diego. “Our program director April Loposky put a laminated photo of me on a ruler and took it along on the journey. The photo made it on stage when the award was presented and I got to thank everyone via the telephone. Although I couldn’t be there in person, I will there in spirit.” Marley’s Mission has cherished the support of the Northeastern Pennsylvania community since its Grand Opening July 5, 2010. To that end, numerous supporters from the region participated in the “Buy a Mile to San Diego” Program where, for $.72 per mile, supporters could help the Mission send a delegation to the awards ceremony nearly 2800 miles away. The CLASSY Awards are the largest philanthropic awards ceremony in the country, recognizing the most outstanding philanthropic achievements by charities, businesses and individuals nationwide. More than 2,000 nominations were submitted for consideration to StayClassy. After a vetting process, StayClassy posted each nomination as an article on the CLASSY Awards Achievements Blog, putting a national spotlight on amazing philanthropic stories from across the United States. Marley’s Mission generated over 1,000 Facebook “Likes” to reach the Top 25 judging round. Out of thousands of nominations, the judges narrowed the list down to the Top 25 most inspiring and impactful in each category. The Top 10 Finalists were determined by public vote and were announced August 30. After a final round of judging based on specific criteria, the winners were recognized live on-stage at the at CLASSY Awards ceremony in San Diego on September 17.

GREEN Halloween Clarks Summit business to host swap of gently used costumes Oct. 7 BY ROBERT TOMKAVAGE rtomkavage@theabingtonjournal.com

CLARKS SUMMIT- Coldwell Banker Town & Country Properties will host a Green Halloween costume swap Oct. 8 between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Coldwell Banker is allowing children’s costumes (up to the age of 16), which are clean and in good condition, to be dropped off through Oct. 7, at one of the companies three locations: Clarks Summit, 651 Northern Boulevard; North Pocono, 1250 Church Street in Moscow; and their valley office, 130 Main Street in Blakely. Greg Solfanelli, Director of Marketing and Communication and chair of the event for the Greater Scranton region, called last year’s swap “a joyful success.” According to Solfanelli, Coldwell Banker collected over 230 costumes and gave out over 80. They also donated 150 costumes to Goodwill, so other children received an opportunity to enjoy them. “Those who participated in National Costume Swap Day across the country saved cash, not to mention, reduced the waste going into our landfills,” Solfanelli said. “Last year, because of the support from the community and our associates, Halloween was a little greener.” Those donating costumes will receive a token to be redeemed for another costume on the day of the event. The leftover costumes will be donated to local charities. According to Solfanelli, the children’s costume swap is meant to make Halloween healthier for kids and more sustainable for our planet. “The event is community-based and meant to celebrate the true spirit of the Halloween season. It’s an initiative meant to bring healthier and greener alternatives to typical Halloween celebrations,” he said. “It’s also meant to open the eyes of our regions to the benefits of recycling their gently-used costumes here in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

SCRANTON - On Sept. 25, Colonnade owners, Joshua J. Mast and Paul Blackledge’s latest endeavor, “Posh at the Scranton Club” will be ready for members of the local group, Queen Victoria’s Court and their guests. They will debut in grand style the renovation of the downtown Scranton landmark, the Scranton Club, at an upcoming Victorian Tea and Fashion Show sponsored by Queen Victoria’s Court, beginning at 1 p.m. At the show, eventgoers will have an opportunity to catch a glimpse of the building which will be 100 percent completed by mid-October with the opening of the bar and restaurant. Posh is located at 404 N Washington Avenue in Scranton. Queen Victoria’s Court holds a number of charitable events at churches, nursing homes, centennials, as well as for organizations such as Eckley Miners’ Village and the American Cancer Society. Mast said, “We are looking forward to the upcoming Victorian Tea and Fashion Show. It will be our first major event at the club. It’s a charity and Paul and I are very much into helping charities. Margaret (Messana, the organizer of “Queen Victoria’s Court) has done a great job in getting the information to the press and getting a lot of publicity for the event. A Victorian tea fits with when that property was built in 1905 and the interesting thing is that it was a private men’s club, so they wouldn’t have had a Victorian Tea because they wouldn’t have let their wives in. That’s why the Century Club was built for the ladies…” At the fashion show and tea, fashions will range from the turn of the century with the newest fashions dating back to approximately 1920 and include “the best and the elegant fashions” of the Victorian and Edwardian era and the décor at Posh will provide a fitting backdrop for the event. According to Mast, “Paul and I share the same tastes level and appreciation for design and strive to incorporate that into

When you have a great space you can do a lot of fun things with color, fabric and texture. My goal is that people may not always understand it but at least when they see it, they’ll say, ‘I can’t believe I’m in downtown Scranton.” The décor at Posh features a variety of colors including an intensely teal in the hallway, a very bright and vivid color; “Parakeet,” a shade of blue in the bar; “Kimono Violet” in the fashion lounge; and “Mink” in the restaurant…You really need to be in the space to experience it. We’ve added a lot of color, texture and our kind of design and style to this grand property in Scranton. One of the main things we’re doing is in the restaurant we’ll be featuring our signature Scranton toile fabric, which a local company, MTL Fabric is weaving for us featuring 12 city landmark buildings that are woven into the fabric. So we’ll be using that for a lot of coverings of chairs and furniture in the Posh restaurant.” Ten dollars from each ticket sold will be donated to the American Cancer Society and Mast and Messana expect to raise more than $2,000. “It’s a charity event, but at the same time people are going to get an afternoon tea, they’ll get to be in a great space with great service and see a fashion show,” said Mast. The menu will include a salad, scones, tea sandwiches, petit fours, cupcakes and an assortment of desserts. To make a reservation, call Margaret Messana at 570.587.5264 or the American Cancer Society, 570.562.9749. Tickets are $30.

SOUTH ABINGTON TWP. - It started a few years back in 1996. The current sewage plant located at 200 Northern Boulevard, Chinchilla, began to have issues with the inflow process, and with increased changes in weather patterns and more rain falling. Problems at the plant have increased with more water. Abington Regional Wastewater Authority Chief Plant Operator and Executive Director Robert M. Davis, said that issues with the plant have to be addressed and that the department has received a violation from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and that violation was received in 2008. “The current plant is in violation of seepage and it received the violation in 2008. The Department of Environmental Protection has given us a time frame to bring the plant up to code and that is what we are planning on doing. In the process however, there has been misinformation out there, so we have scheduled a public hearing for Sept. 21 at 7 p.m. at the Abington Heights High School auditorium to help explain what we need to do,” Davis said. Davis explained that with the heavy rains, the normal flow of the plant is 3 million, however with the increase in rain and snow, the plant is now handling up over 14 to 15 million and could also go up as high as 19, with the plant capacity only geared for 13 million a day. He added, “We have done some work at the current plant to handle the increase in flow, such as changing our sewage pumps to larger ones and we are pushing them hard every day. However, with the water, we do at times have sewage excess which ends up in the storm water and then into the neighboring Leggett’s Creek. It is not a life -threatening amount, but we are aware that this is happening and we are doing everything we can do to fix it. This plant alone serves Clarks Summit, Clarks Green and

South Abington Township. It is a lot for this plant to handle.” Davis added, “When the ground water table goes up, flow increases, and it does push the pumps beyond capacity. We do have to by pass to the creek, and the sewage that is hitting the creek, has been processed and diluted so it is not harmful. However this is a violation and that is why we received the violation from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental

Protection. With the violation, the Abington Regional Wastewater Authority was forced to shut down for seven months to come up with a plan for a solution, and according to Davis, with a lot of hard work, a plan was created and approved to move forward in April 2009. “We are forced due to the plant growing old, to update the plant and upgrade where we have to, we have no choice at this point, and we will recycle and reuse

what we can, but there are certain things that we just won’t be able to do,” Davis added. “We will use whatever we can reuse to keep costs of updating the plant and we have a pretty good plan in place. The way we will pay for the plant is to be through the sewer rates, and we will be putting this out to bid and we will do whatever we can to keep the price low. We will keep the public informed every step of the way and this is why we are holding the public hearing on the 21st. The public can come see what we have to do, ask questions and see how we are paying for things. With the violation we just have no choice, it has to be done.” Davis did add that with the violation, the Authority has until 2016 to complete the project. “I just want to let everyone know that we will keep costs down, but it will take time to develop the plant and to adapt the new plant to the current system,” he said. The Abington Regional Wastewater Authority runs its plant 24 hours a day, seven days a week and the project is slated to begin Nov. 12, 2012 with the bid opening process beginning in August of 2012.

DALTON - At the Dalton Council meeting held Sept. 8, council member Bill Montgomery mentioned that the Dalton Waste Management made Council an offer that the rates will not increase next year if are in charge of recycling. This year, the rates included a 4.7 increase. Montgomery said that he is considering the offer. “If we go with their recycling, we can put out both paper and bottles at the same time,” he said. “They have a single line recycling process. They separate it at some point.” Montgomery mentioned that he received a copy of the letter from the Dalton Waste Management. He suggested for that Council members review a copy of the letter before they make a decision. Montgomery added that the county is going to sponsor a tire recycling event. He mentioned two ways for Dalton might get involved. Dalton residents can bring their tires to stations in either Clarks Summit or Clarks

Green. Or Dalton can host its own station. He also said that the county wants $2 per a regular car tire and $4 per SUV tire. The tire recycling is from Sept. 8 to Oct. 8. “I don’t think that we have that much business anymore,” said Montgomery. “At this point, it’s coming so late I don’t think we have enough time to organize and let people know that this is available for them to get rid of their tires.” Mayor Jim Gray suggested to notify Dalton that Clarks Summit is available. Also, Secretary Paula Vail mentioned that she received an e-mail with the schedules and locations of the recycling stations. She said that she can forward the email. Montgomery agreed with both solutions. In other business, board member Susan Davidson announced a Rabies Clinic at Dalton Streamside Park.

Waverly reviews wetland map BY BRITTNEY PIERCE Abington Journal Correspondent

WAVERLY TWP. – At the Sept. 12 Waverly Township Supervisors meeting it was discussed that new flood insurance maps were sent to the township for review. The maps indicate wetlands and must be reviewed by the Supervisors to ensure that there are no homes in the flood plains. However the township does not permit anyone to build in a flood plain. A requirement sheet and sample ordinance was sent to the township. Solicitor Andrew Hailstone will review the proposed ordinance and submit input at the next meeting. The Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) is enforcing the issue. Bill White will attend the National Flood Insurance program meeting at PennDOT’s Dunmore office. The pavilion is complete, with the exception of the side-

walk and a sign. Township manager Bill White totaled funds spent to date and said everything has been paid for except those two items. White called grant writer Michele Breslin to see about a smaller sign. The required sign size is four feet by eight feet; signs that size are not permitted at a municipal building. In regard to the sidewalk, there is still $11,000 of grant money to spend. Thomas James said estimates for a sidewalk range from $3,700 to $4,400. Shrubbery might also be planted with remaining grant money. Maria Wilson, executive director of the Waverly Community House attended the meeting to express her thanks to the Supervisors for “their tremendous support” in the building of the new Waverly Community House playground. Wilson added that their leadership that made an overall difference to everyone.

Grant approved Waverly Police Chief Kenneth James applied and was approved for a grant through the Office of Attorney General Grant Program. The grant, funded from the Substance Abuse Education and Demand Reduction Fund, will purchase two new preliminary breath testing (PBT) instruments at $500 each. Police departments are the only eligible recipients for funding of a PBT or Field Sobriety Test (FST). The new PBTs will “help officers’ combat D.U.I and Underage Liquor Law violations more effectively,” said James. All officers of the Waverly Police Department will have access for patrol duties.

Supervisor Douglas Klamp said, “It was really well organized and pleasant to be there.” There will a ribbon cutting for the playground open to the public at the Waverly Comm.’s Halloween party Oct. 29. In the Superintendent’s report, James addressed the drainage ditch problem in Lynnwood Road. He said he sent letters to the residents to inform them of the problem and has received one response from a resident willing to clear the ditch. While most of the water is coming from Clinton Street, he said, any water that runs through the ditches flows onto Lynnwood Street. A municipal document stated that the Board of Supervisors or their agents may enter any lands or enclosures and cut open, maintain and repair drains and ditches through to contact homeowners for property to carry water from permission to clean the ditchthe roads. James said he plans es.

N. ABINGTON TWP. With a crisp feeling of fall in the air, Roba Family Farms located on Dexter Road in North Abington Township held their very first Great Pumpkin Weigh -Off Contest, with 25 participants seeking the title of the biggest pumpkin. Co-Owner Sue Roba was thrilled with the first event, “This is our opening weekend and what a great time to host such a event. We are thrilled with the event, we expected a few pumpkins, but we never expected 24 participants and pumpkins as big as we got today, it is amazing.” Roba said that in order to host the event, she and her husband John had to submit a application to the Great Pumpkin Commonwealth Growers and in no time they were on their way to organizing. “When we began organizing the event, and word got out, Bartron’s Tractor and Supply of Tunkhannock came right on board and they contributed the prize money and also the tractors that we used for the day. Our staff was excited and my son made plans to come home from college for the weekend to be here. It was a just an exciting concept for all of us and to see it all come together it is amazing,” said Roba. Gary Adams of Lafayette, N.Y. entered the

contest and was thrilled to be a part of it, “ This is such a great event, and seeing all the pumpkins here today is amazing. We grow pumpkins and we travel to different weigh- offs and everyone is fun and different, today we brought with us our third biggest pumpkin and we are hoping for a win . This year has been a tough year to grow pumpkins with all the rain, but we are thrilled with our entry and we will see how we do,” said Adams. Allison Vitanovec, 5, of Shavertown, was excited her mom brought her to the event, “These pumpkins are really big and I see big pumpkins and small pumpkins and then really big pumpkins. And I am having a lot of fun, these are some great looking pumpkins,” she said. The Giant Pumpkin event featured two categories one for squash and one for pumpkins with three entries in the squash category, 19 in the pumpkin category and one entry in the watermelon category.

Atlantic Fish and Fabulous Foods’ Clarks Summit store has closed but customers can find Chef Amanda Liples and many of their favorites at her Scranton location. Regarding the Clarks Summit store closing, Liples said, “I’d like to thank my customers from Clarks Summit, the Abingtons and the surrounding areas. I really grew close to a lot of my customers and thank them for helping and supporting my business. It was really a personal decision because my parents moved to Haiti and with this store and the store in Scranton, it was just too much. It was a difficult decision but it was time. My mom played such a key role in everything.” Liples took over Atlantic Fish in March 2008 and opened the Scranton store located at 201 Penn Ave., at the corner of Penn Ave. and Spruce St in the PNC Bank Bldg. in August 2010. According to Liples, customers can find a selection of the prepared foods including meatloaf, chicken salad, potato salad and all of the cold salads, chicken strips, brownies, and prepared fish in the case. “And we still do catering,” added Liples.

Students learning to use laptops Fourth-grade students at Wyoming Seminary Lower School are taking part in a new One-to-One Laptop Computer pilot program for the 2011-2012 academic year. Dr. Kip Nygren, Wyoming Seminary president, presented the 30 students with individual new MacBook laptop computers which they will use every day in school. Following the laptop presentation, the students learned how to use and take care of their computers and how to stay safe while using the Internet. The students will use the computers to organize information, complete individual and collaborative assignments, investigate problems, communicate with other students around the world, and create solutions to problems and many other tasks. Fourth-grade teachers Kristine McCarthy and Lisa Bailey have revised their curriculum to include the daily use of the laptops and will assist the teachers in other grades in primary and middle school in preparing for an expansion of the One-to-One Laptop Computer program. School officials expect that within the next few years, all students in grades 1-8 will have individual laptops to use in class. The One-to-One Laptop Computer program is largely supported by the Lower School Parents Association.

Wayne Morgan, Youth for Christ Wilkes-Barre Director, told the crowd before the concert, “Hopefully tonight we are rocking you spiritually, but we also get to rock your faces off with a concert.” The students broke up into groups to plan See You at the Pole Rally events for Sept. 28 at each of the local schools and then reassembled in front of the stage for an energized concert. Adam Agee, Lead Singer for Stellar Kart said afterward of the crowd, “I thought they were amazing. They were rowdy and loud.”

P&G is also offering Bounty cleaning products. “We got in touch with the Delaware plant on Sunday morning to see if they could help us out and within six hours they brought the trailer,” Fried said. In addition, since Sept. 8 at 8 a.m., a Tide “Loads of Hope” truck has been located near the Pampers trailer in the Walmart parking lot, compliments of the company’s headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio. The “Loads of Hope” truck was created by

Who directed "Midnight in Paris"?

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We at the Dietrich can’t even begin to express our appreciation to the wonderful community of northeastern Pennsylvania. So many folks have come forward help. From volunteering, to providing food and supplies, to giving much needed financial support, children and adults of all ages have been so generous with us. I just can’t think of a better to place to live. And thanks to everyone’s hard work and dedication, we are in the middle of our 9th Annual Fall Film Festival. That’s right, we are partially open for business. We were able to host the Opening Night Gala, and festival films and the new movie Contagion are currently playing on the two screens in the expanded side of the Dietrich. After the events of the past few weeks, it will be nice to escape at least for an hour or two into the world of movies. We will definitely have that chance with the film festival – fourteen days of sixteen films. And I would bet you, some of our die-hard festival goers will see all sixteen of the movies. I especially want to see “Everything Must Go”. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Will Ferrell in a serious role. Plus the documentary “Buck” about a true horse whisperer looks fascinating. Speaking of documentaries, I think viewing “Rejoice and Shout” should be an interesting history of gospel music. If you have yet to determine what festival movies you would like to see, visit our website www.dietrichtheater.com for a complete listing of all sixteen films’ show times and summaries. Festival will run through September 29. While we are partially open for business, we still have a long way to go…The Dietrich was devastated by the flooding. The original side of the Dietrich’s HVAC system needs to be replaced. We also need all new carpet in the theater.

Arts Alive to hold final show

Lacawac Sanctuary’s “Arts Alive” musical program wraps up the 2011 season with the classical oboe music of Molly Raum, on Saturday, September 24. The evening will feature an assortment of compositions by some of the greatest classical composers ranging from baroque masters to the more contemporary and familiar. Staged in the Watres Lodge parlor, the evening offers virtually a private performance experience . The historic parlor provides a setting rich in ambiance, historic significance and great acoustics. Raum studied musicology at Cornell University and studied the oboe with maestro Joshua Siegel. She was previously the English hornist with the Prince Edward Island Symphony, performed with Mela Tenebaum, and has been a participant in the Indian River Festival. She is currently a freelance soloist, a member of the International Double Reed Society and performs with the Delaware Valley Opera and Chamber Orchestra as well as appearing at the Ritz Company Playhouse. She currently teaches music privately in Kenoza, N.Y. Lacawac invites guests to join other audience members for a delicious catered dinner with Raum and company in the antique laden dining room of the historic lodge. The dinner is optional, and follows the concert at 6:30 p.m. For information and reservations for concert or dinner, call 570.689.9494, or email info@lacawac.org Dinner reservations must be made no later than Sept. 21.

Church hosts Saturday collection BY DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@theabingtonjournal.com

CLARKS SUMMITThe members of Our Lady of the Snows Church in Clarks Summit are trying to make sure all students have the proper materials for their education. The church hosted the Third Annual Share Jamaica Collection Sept. 17 and will hold another Sept. 24, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. in the church parking lot. The collection is part of the twinning project the church has with a Passionists Mission in Jamaica. The twinning program gives the parish the opportunity to become involved in the Jamaican parishes, schools, Mandeville College, Mt. Calvary Retreat Center and the Manchester Infirmary. This Saturday, volunteers will be collecting materials and then sending them to the mission. “We’re collecting things for the school,” said volunteer Grace Dawgert. “The school is a preschool program that goes up to second grade,” added volunteer Denny Dawgert. “So …we’ve asked people to bring school supplies for that age group.” “We’ve been trying to get notebook computers for the teachers or the parishes themselves. We’ve also been looking to get Leap Frog electronic games so they have more of the same supplies our kids have.” Our Lady of the Snows has been involved with the twinning project for the last three years.

The Monsignor McGowan Cornerstone Awards committee has announced that Dr. James and Mary Lou Burne have been named as the recipients of the 2011 Cornerstone Award. The award will be presented at the 5th annual Monsignor McGowan Cornerstone Awards program to be held Oct. 2, at 5 p.m. at Marywood University. Honorary co-chair for the event is Sister Adrian Barrett. The McGowan Cornerstone event is being held to honor the memory of the beloved clergyman, Monsignor Andrew J. McGowan, well-known throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania as an academic supporter and leader in the community. The mission of the Cornerstone Committee is to continue his legacy of service and dedication by recognizing students and community leaders who most reflect his spirit, leadership, and service. In addition to the Cornerstone Award, seven Monsignor McGowan Cornerstone Scholarships will also be presented to students at schools and institutions where Monsignor devoted his time and service. The award focuses on students who show a commitment to the local community and a desire to invest in it. Students from Allied Services dePaul School, Keystone College, King’s College, Marywood University, Misericordia University, Mount St. Mary’s University, and the University of Scranton will be honored. Dr. Jim and Mary Lou founded the Family-toFamily Thanksgiving Food Basket Program in the spirit of community service that was respected and supported by Monsignor McGowan. Since 1986, the Burne’s have served over 325,000 people. Family-to-Family

Science scholar to speak in Scranton Michio Kaku, theoretical physicist, professor, futurist, bestselling author and popularizer of science, will be the featured speaker for the Lackawanna County Library System’s American Masters Lecture, Sept. 30, at 7 p.m. in the Scranton Cultural Center. Tickets are available at Abington and Dalton Community Libraries A serious scholar with a chair in theoretical physics at the City University of New York and special expertise in Einstein’s unified field theory, Dr. Kaku is also one of the most widely recognized scientists in the world. That’s due to his books and many television appearances, in which he strives to make complicated subjects under-

standable to non-scientists. He is a regular on network and cable news programs and has been seen on “60 Minutes,” “Good Morning America,” PBS’s “Nova” and “Innovation,” and on numerous science specials, including PBS’s “Stephen Hawking’s Universe,” “Science Odyssey,” and “Einstein Revealed.” He also appears regularly on the Discovery Channel, the Learning Channel and A & E. His books have been popular successes, too. They include “Hyperspace and Visions: How Science Will Revolutionize the 21st Century,” “Visions,” “Parallel Worlds,” and “Physics of the Impossible.” Dr. Kaku’s latest book,

“Physics of the Future: How Science Will Change Daily Life by 2100,” is based on interviews with over 300 of the world’s top scientists. In it he presents revolutionary developments in medicine, computers, quantum physics, and space travel that will forever change our way of life and alter the course of civilization itself. He graduated from Harvard University in 1968 summa cum laude and first in his physics class. He received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of California at Berkeley in 1972, and been a professor at CUNY for almost 30 years. He has also taught at Harvard and Princeton. As a scientist his goal is to

complete Einstein’s dream of a “theory of everything” with an equation that will summarize all the physical laws of the universe. He is the cofounder of string field theory, a major branch of string theory. “Michio Kaku is one of the giants of American culture,” said Mary Garm, Library System administrator. “He is a dynamic, exciting lecturer, and his talk will be of great interest to young people and adults alike.” The American Masters Lecture is part of the Library System’s Matthew F. Flynn Library Lecture Series. It was established by a group of community-minded individuals who wanted to support the tradition of presenting impor-

tant speakers in the community. Among those providing grants and gifts in support of the American Masters Lecture are Scranton Area Foundation, the Briggs Foundation and Wayne Bank. Dr. Kaku’s presentation takes the place of one by Richard Clarke, which was previously announced. This year, the lecture is being held in conjunction with “Pages & Places,” the literary festival that will take place in downtown Scranton the following day, Oct.1. According to Garm, Tickets for the event can be obtained by showing a library card at any Lackawanna County Library System library or the Scranton Cultural Center box office.

Factoryville Board discusses water collection

C.G. council discusses sewer BY EMILY CULLEY Abington Journal Correspondent

CLARKS GREEN- The September 12 meeting of the Clarks Green Borough Council discussed various issues regarding the sewer system and the roads of the community. The first issue was that of flood plains in Clarks Green being revised to include fewer homes than previously. The council voted to amend the flood plain ordinance, originally from 1978 to comply with the updated flood plains and will contact the affected residents. The next topic discussed was that of sewer work for the sections under Belmont and Clark Streets. A test needs to be performed to show which sections of the joints in the system need to be grouted. Council voted to bid out the work. Council member Jill Shanrock mentioned that Clarks Summit noticed infiltration into their system that seemed to be coming from Clarks Green. Council agreed to look into the matter. Also mentioned: the sewer line under Abington Road which is in need of repair in compliance with the recently- passed Act 537 plan of the Abington Regional Wastewater Authority. There are three sections of the system in need of repairs, each at a cost of approximately $31,520. According to the Act, the work needs to begin this year but does not have to be completed for four years. Council voted to bid out the first section of the sewer and an additional bid including the first section and second sections to see which way would be more cost effective.

FACTORYVILLE- With more recent rains in the Factoryville area, water collecting on Lindley Avenue, between Jackson Street and the borough line near the Shupp Property, raised concerns. And at the Sept. 14 Factoryville Borough meeting, Robert T. Doble P.E.,P.L.S. presented the board with two possible solutions that could help correct the problem. Doble noted that his firm reviewed the area in both wet and dry conditions and noted that situation is that the water comes from the upper part of Lindley Ave. from the Reynolds St. area and enters the intersection of Jackson St. and Lindley Ave. where it enters a parallel system which runs along Lindley Ave. for a distance of about 800 feet. He added that the water then enters a drainage system which passes through the Shupp property, where it runs a distance of over 300 feet to the south branch of the Tunkhannock Creek. Doble said that the 800 -foot run is partially blocked and little water enters the system which is serviced by a single small inlet at the driveway at the Mowakowski property located at the corner of Jackson St. and Lindley Ave. and a group of inlets at the corner of Jackson St. and Lindley Ave. With this report, it was noted that the properties to the east of the run are subject to high ground water issues and the west side of Lindley Avenue suffers the worse from high ground water. After explaining to the board the problem, Doble provided solutions to the problem for the board to review. Option one: Install an 800 -foot run of pipe along Lindley Ave. with a combination

of storm sewer that will drain the surrounding ground similar in concept to a French drain, and should include a number of sump type inlets to serve as cleanouts to allow proper flushing and to catch any shoulder runoff. Inlets and cross pipes from the west side of Lindley could aid in solving issues on that side of the road. Option two: A combination of cleaning the existing system and establishing parallel swales/ditches with rain gardens to enhance appearance. Doble noted that the presence of water flowing into the Shupp junction box does indicate that at least some of the existing system is functioning. More of the solution is going step by step with a series of inlets until cleaning is no longer available, then shifting to either ditches or new culvert could be a possible solution. Option one, according to Doble, comes with a price tag of $152,500 and option two with a price tag of $75,400. Councilman Bill Edwards said, “ I know what has to be done and we do have to replace piping and drains, so what I am thinking is get one of those sewer cameras and put it down the system and see where there are blockages, then maybe we can replace it piece by piece and help with the water issue. I know this is not the best solution but it is a possible fix for now if we can not get a grant, I don’t want to wait five years to do this though.” Doble agreed to put a camera in the system and get an assessment of it, due to the fact that if the board decides to seek the grant, it could take up to 2 to 3 years for a grant and could also require a matching process. The board will be reviewing all information and seeing which option they will seek .

the barrels. She said that where the barrels are located at the plant, rain water also collects in the barrel, which takes up space that could be used for the skim off the overflow. “Right now we should consider putting the barrels under a roof so that the rain water does not get in to them. Further, a ramp has to be installed to handle the weight of the barrel. We have to install a concrete ramp and it can not be a wooden ramp, due to the fact of the weight of the barrels.” Buckbee also presented a report from John Scheuer, P.E. Senior Project Engineer of BCM Engineer, in regard to the plant for the board to review. Scheuer recommended that the barrels be placed over the grating of the bar screen and holes drilled or punched at the bottom of the barrels. Scheuer said that with this procedure the accumulated water will drain from the bottom and the screenings to eventually dewater. He also mentioned the access for the chemical barrels. He suggested that a larger door or garage door be installed at the control building for easier access for the chemical barrels. He added that with the renovation, some structural changes would have to be done to the building, and that a concrete pad would have to be installed which would help bring the existing door to the building floor. The board agreed to review all the information presented before any decision was to be made. The next meeting will be held Oct. 12 at 6 pm.

Senior big part of Lady Comets success

CLARKS SUMMIT- Abington Heights girls tennis player Courtney Ostrowski experienced success last season and is continuing her winning ways this year. The senior won District 2 Class AAA singles title last season and teamed with Morgan Fayocavitz to win the doubles district title and advance to states. Ostrowski also helped lead the Lady Comets’ team to an appearance at states a year ago. Ostrowski is undefeated in singles matches this season at 6-0. The Dalton resident first started playing tennis at the age of three and has been hooked on the sport ever since. “My sister got me into it,” Ostrowski said. “She played before me and was a role model to me. Through practice I’ve gotten better and just enjoy it. I’ve grown to love the sport.” According to Abington Heights head coach Tom Lavelle, Ostrowski has certain skills that set her apart from many of her competitors. “She does a good job creating opportunities for herself by being pro-active on the court,” Lavelle said. “She forces her opponents to hit uncomfortable shots to gain momentum in points. She also has a really good ability to control the ball.” Lavelle thinks the senior captain leads by example on the court. “She has been doing a good job keeping herself and her teammates focused and motivated during matches,” he said. Ostrowski feels her ability to control the points against her opponents is her best asset on the court. “I try to stay focused in each point, play my own

JERMYN- Senior running back Ryan Nichols ran for 233 yards on 29 carries and the Lakeland High School Chiefs (2-1) handed the G.A.R. Grenadiers (2-1) their first loss of the season last Friday with a 34-31 victory. G.A.R. was playing without starting quarterback Darrell Crawford and Shakir Soto, a standout lineman. Early in the game, both team’s defenses struggled to settle into their game plans. On the first play from scrimmage, backup quarterback Corey Moore hit wide receiver Shaliek Powell in stride for a 67yard touchdown. An extra point put G.A.R. up 7-0 . “We knew not to panic, he made a good catch and we missed some tackles on that first play,” said Ryan Nichols, Lakeland senior defensive back and running back.

I was supposed to stop at the first down marker but I saw the corner was overplaying me and I just slipped him and settled in by the end zone.

Abington Heights Comets tame Tunkhannock Tigers BY ROBERT TOMKAVAGE Abington Journal

CLARKS SUMMITAbington Heights quarterback Dante Pasqualichio completed 11 of 16 passes for 256 yards and two touchdowns, leading the Comets to a 35-6 victory over Tunkhannock at Comets Stadium in a nonleague game on Sept. 17. The Comets struck first when sophomore running back Quinn Karam capped off a 4-play 70-yard drive with a 3-yard touchdown run. The key play of the drive was a 74-yard completion from Pasqualichio to Corey Degilio. Brandon Pacyna added the extra point to give Abington Heights a 7-0 lead with 8:29 left in the first quarter.

"I had a lot of time, I just got my feet set and the receivers were just getting wide open and making good plays," Pasqualichio said. "Everything started clicking and we just started rolling." Tunkhannock committed their third turnover of the game on their next possession when Comets’ defensive back Jamie Henzes recovered a fumble at the Tigers’ 32-yard line.

The team is only four games into the season, but so far one of the Abington Heights High School’s soccer team’s biggest offensive threats is turning out to be center midfielder John Loboda. The senior scored three of the Comets five goals in the team’s season opening shutout over Honesdale on Friday, September 2. Due to rain, three of the team’s games were postponed and Abington had almost a week and a half off. The Comets went back to action on Thursday, September 15, and Loboda picked up right where he left off. He scored a goal in the team’s 4-1 win over North Pocono on Thursday, and a goal in the team’s 5-0 victory at Scranton on Friday, Sept. 16. Scranton Prep was the first team to keep Loboda scoreless in the team’s 2-1 home victory on Monday. While his stats are impressive, Loboda’s impact on the team isn’t a surprise to his coach, teammates or the team’s fans. The Waverly resident has been a key component to the team’s success since moving from the junior varsity team to the varsity team his sophomore year.

Lackawanna Trail not only scored five touchdowns on offense but also tallied three combined touchdowns on defense and special teams to keep its undefeated season alive. Eric Laytos barreled into the end zone on a 12-yard run to cap off a nine-play drive in the first quarter giving the Lions a 7-0 lead. After stopping Meyers on the ensuing possession, the Lions blocked a punt giving Lackawanna Trail the ball at the Mohawks’ 34 yard line. The Lions took advantage of the short field and gained a 14-0 lead on an 8-yard touchdown run by Jeremy Greenley. A few possessions later the Lions forced a punt deep in Meyers’ territory and blocked the kick.

team’s upbeat attitude has contributed to their success. The Lady Comets are in first place of the Lackawanna League Division 1 with a 6-0 record. “We all cheer on our teammates,” she said. “We try to keep each player up during a match and we keep a good attitude on and off the court.” After falling in the District 2-4 Class AAA final last season, Ostrowski is focused on making a deeper postseason run this year. “I’m really committed to making it far in states this season and see how it goes, or

at least make it far in districts again,” she said.” Ostrowski has been contacted by several Division 1 tennis programs about joining their teams after graduation. “I want to go to the University of Pittsburgh, Syracuse University or St. Joseph’s University, she said. “Those are my top schools right now. I keep in touch with their coaches.” Courtney, 17, is the daughter of Dianne and Thomas Ostrowski. The Lady Comets will host Delaware Valley High School on Sept. 21 at 4 p.m.

And, when it came to actually get in there in and play the game, Loboda’s four older brothers, Dima, James, Denis and Roma, all gave him some good competition to help him get better. All four are former members of the Comets, and Loboda played on the same

team with James, Dennis and Roma. The three are gone now, which is something of a reminder for Loboda that he’s now one of the senior members on the team, and his role has changed a little bit. “It’s definitely changed that I need to be a leader more,” said Loboda. “Last year I left it up to that senior group to kind of talk to everyone on the field, and now it’s our job, not only me but other seniors too.” Loboda said it’s a job everyone has been adjusting to nicely, and is making him and his teammates confident in what they can do this season. Loboda is the son of Gregg and Mary Jo Loboda. The Comets will take on Delaware Valley at home today, Wednesday, Sept. 21 at 4 p.m.
