Green community. “We’re trying to increase tree canopy cover in Clarks Green over the next 25 years to 40 percent. That’s going to take an enormous amount of planning. The day to day planning will be in someone else’s hands while I focus on this project,� King said. When asked why she wanted to be president, King said
As neighbors in nearby counties are trying to repair damages that occurred a few weeks ago, when the Susquehanna River flooded in early September, as a result of the Tropical Storm Lee, residents from the Abington area are doing what they can to speed up the process. The Abington Community Library is currently collecting donations for the “West Pittston Library Recovery Fund of the Luzerne Foundation� to help the West Pittston Library reopen at a new temporary location. The flood destroyed 14,000 books, all of the computers, the furniture and made the building, located at 200 Exeter Ave., West Pittston, unusable. They are planning to set up a temporary library location at the former American Legion Building on 316 Linden St. in West Pittston, which took on 1.5 feet of water on the first floor during the floods. The owners are currently working to clean that facility for the library to use. “I’ve been in conversation with the director (Anne Bramblett Barr), and their first and foremost response was to find a temporary location, and at least get set up with Internet access,� said Abington Community Library director Leah Rudolph. “Some of the forms and things that people have to get filled out for unemployment, for FEMA (Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration), never mind just their

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Editor: Several months ago a monument honoring Abington area Armed Forces veterans and others was erected in Clarks Summit. Appropriately the emblems of all of the Armed Forces were engraved on the monument. That is, all except one. Not unusually, the emblem of the United States Coast Guard was missing. As a Coast Guard veteran, I found this oversight disturbing, as did other Coast Guard vets with whom I spoke. It was a welcome sign of support when I learned that veterans of other services questioned the absence
of “Charlie Golf’s” emblem. Last week our emblem was added to the monument because of the attention and dedicated action of four men who rightly deserve recognition and thanks. On behalf of the Abington area’s Coast Guard vets I want to extend our appreciation and gratitude to Herman Johnson and Roy Davis of the Clarks Summit Borough Council and to Steuart Bailey and Mike McLane of Abington Area VFW Post #7069 for their roles in resolving this matter. Jeff MacMillan Clarks Summit
Editor: Spring awakes you, Summer exhausts you, Fall embraces you. Pulling us closer to our loved ones by the intimacy of the weathers’ change, culminating in the festivities of the Holiday season. Our clothes get heavier, the nights get longer and our longing to embrace the sounds and lights of the holidays grows ever stronger. Can you compare a moonlit fall night with the colors of the trees twinkling up to the stars and saying “top this!” The houses and the streets lit with a different kind of Sunlight—the stars have actually come to the ground! What exercise do you need
when you’re trying to outrun an Autumn breeze? Everything about this season sings embrace, even the air grabs your lungs and holds onto them with its chill. I have no cause for a defense of the sounds for the radio itself speaks a different language, but there is no more beautiful language that we speak then when we speak with the ones we love, no more beautiful understanding that Nature can reach than God’s Infinite love and no more beautiful embrace, than to fall into this night of this season, into the blanket of its change and into the warmth of its colors.

The event is open to the public and runs from 10 a.m. - 10 p.m. A portion of the day’s admission fees will be donated to the local Komen Northeast Pa. Affiliate. According to Patti Borger, spokesperson for Roba Family Farms, “the decision to choose the Komen organization as the beneficiary of the event was based upon what the organization does for the community in providing free breast health services to uninsured women and men throughout Northeastern Pa.” In addition to the regular attractions the farm offers, special events include a pink ribbon scavenger hunt, and pumpkins painted by local high school and college are students. The pumpkins will be available for a donation . There will also be pink pig races. For further details or directions to Roba Family Farms, visit www.robafamilyfarms.com Dolly Woody, Executive Director for the Northeastern Pa. Komen Affiliate said, “It is wonderful to have a partner such as Roba Family Farms because they understand how families are affected by breast cancer. We are grateful to the Roba Family, Komen Volunteers, and art students from area high schools and universities for sharing their talents and time in helping to make this day so successful. People come to this event to have fun and raise awareness and funds for breast cancer. Seventyfive percent of the proceeds raised remain in NEPA to fund local community education, screening and treatment grants. The remaining 25 percent fund Susan G.

Gift of giving BY DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@theabingtonjournal.com
This year, Dalton resident Lauren Berry did not take time off from thinking of others on her birthday. The Waverly Elementary School fourth-grade student turned 10 on Sept. 27. She celebrated the day with a party at the Waverly Community House, Sept. 23 and instead of presents, asked party guests to bring donations for Marley’s Mission. While forfeiting presents would be an unheard of idea for many 10-year-olds, it wasn’t a difficult decision for Berry. “I have all I need. I don’t need any presents, I have a lot,” said Berry. Berry’s mother, Mary Ellen said she was proud of her daughter’s idea, but not suprised, as it isn’t the first time she has shown an interest in helping others. This summer, for example, Berry set up a lemonade stand in Lewis Lane Park on the corner of Gladiola Drive and Lewis Lane, to help raise money for their neighbor Michael Brunetti, a Clarks Summit native, diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma earlier this year. Berry had decided that she was going to

make a donation to a charity organization a few months ago and after learning about them at the Clarks Summit Centennial, chose Marley’s Mission, which uses horses as therapy for children who have been abused,. “I absolutely love horses, and think that it’s great that they help the abused children. That’s really important, because if you’re abused you’re dented for life, and this kind of helps them get over the fact and start a new life,” said Berry. The party at the Comm raised more than $800 to help Marley’s Mission assist those children, and the staff at the charity are grateful. “I just thought this is a great
testament to the Marley’s Mission’s mission; we stand here to help kids and I can’t tell you how often it is the kids that contact us wanting to help. They have such giving hearts,” said Vice President Rebecca Haggerty. That same night, members of Marley’s Mission Board gathered at a thank you party at the Scranton Hilton to celebrate their Best New Charity award. Marley’s Mission was selected “Best New Charity” in the United States Sept. 17. For more information or to make a donation, visit http:// www.marleysmission.com/.

NEWTON TWP.- The Newton Township Board of Supervisors has a task before them: deciding whether or not to allow gas drilling per a pending ordinance approval. The township held a standing room only public hearing for residents Sept. 19 at the Newton Township Municipal Building. Residents and experts were given an allotted time to speak . George Turner, a licensed geologist was first up and talked about ground water. “If you have ever seen the show Myth Busters, well here tonight we are going to deal with some myths. Ninety-nine percent of your drinking water comes from a mile or so from your home, with the water coming from the rain. Pretty simple. However, Chesapeake (Energy) says gas drilling is safe for water but that is not true,” said Turner. Turner said that when a gas company drills, they dig a mile to a mile and a half into the ground and through groundwater. “Think about that, for a moment, I am not here to speak against gas drilling. I am for drilling if it is done right. Now the gas companies are doing the drilling as cheap as they can. Dimock Twp. is now contaminated, where they have been doing Marcellus Shale gas extraction. They are contaminated with methane gas, and they are not taking responsibility for it,” said Turner. He suggested that residents get their wells tested now. “I am putting it out there for you all to think about it, get your wells tested now. This way if drilling comes to your area, you have the result… before, not after. ” Craig Stevens of Silver Lake Township said gas drills have robbed his family of their property. “I moved here and I was neutral on the issue of gas drilling. However, what has happened to my family has changed my thoughts. July 17, 2007 my grandmother signed a gas lease in her nursing home. She was 95. Chesapeake (Energy) knew this. They also knew she was not the sole owner. They never contacted the other members of the family. She signed. She received $135.10 per acre and they paid her only $15.000. They took advantage,” said Stevens. He added, “You have all the time in the world, get a lawyer, talk to your neighbors, they would offer you one fee and your neighbor a possible different fee, be careful.”
Nicole Jacobs, the field director of Energy in Depth, representing America’s independent natural gas and oil producers, spoke at the forum. “There is a lot of information being presented tonight. Some of the information is true but some of it is not. Hydraulic Fracturing does not contaminate the wells. Yes, truck traffic will increase, but that is temporary, the gas company will hire local people to do a lot of jobs and they will even go as far as paving roads in your town that your town may not be able to afford. Gas drilling will stop our dependency on foreign oil and it should be the landowner’s choice to sign a gas drilling contract not a town board’s decision,” she said, “I do encourage you all to educate yourself on gas drilling, there is a lot to learn. You can take a tour with us, and we will show you it all. .” Keith Eckel, of Falls Road in Newton Township, said that he signed a gas lease and is supportive of it as long as the process is done safely. “I know the Supervisors… are gathering information here tonight. They do have an ordinance in the works, but in all honest logic they don’t have a budget to hire lawyers, researchers and so on. The money is not in our budget. I have leased 300 acres to Chesapeake Gas Company and I am fine with it, I am opposed to the board getting involved. I received $5,753 per acre for a five- year lease and I receive 20 percent of the revenue. I further made sure we discussed setbacks, liability and so on. The township needs to look at this from all angles and then make their decisions.” Scott Hann, who is a member of the Newton Township Planning Commission, said, “ We have looked at all the ordinances. Residential districts are not well- defined when it comes to gas drilling. That needs to be addressed. We need to access land development, zoning ordinances and agricultural areas, natural resources, setbacks on land, ponds, streams and so on, wet lands. Schools also have to be addressed. We need to look hard at the natural gas issue and review them. It is not an easy task, but it is something that has to be done. And these are just a few of the items that will have to be addressed,” he said. The Newton Township Supervisors did not give any indication as to when they will continue the discussion about the ordinances that regulate the possibility of gas drilling in the township.

Just a TASTE F
or the seventh year in a row, the Rotary Club of the Abingtons provided 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” was hosted by the Nichols Village Hotel and Spa, 1101 Northern Boulevard, Clarks Summit, Sept. 25.
John Hambrose, Chairperson of the event, said proceeds from the event go toward the Rotary’s various activities for the next year. The club has about 70 members who get involved in a wide variety of community programs each year, including the annual Fourth of July fireworks at the Abington Heights Middle School, the international student exchange program, cleanups along Routes 6 and 11 and more.
CLARKS SUMMIT- Lawrence E. Young Funeral Home, Inc. has a new Funeral Director Intern and he might seem familiar to those in the community. Eric Parry, a resident of the area his entire life, wanted to serve the community in which he grew. After graduating from Scranton Preparatory High School and the University of Pittsburgh, Parry knew it was time to come home. He decided to attend Northampton Community College to pursue a career in Funeral Service and graduated this past May. He is more than happy with his decision. “When I was going to school at Scranton Prep and then Pitt, I wasn’t really in the community as much and I missed it. Now, since I’m back, I actually recognize and know people when I go out to the store or something…it’s great,” Parry said. Parry’s love for his community extends to his family’s business, Nickie’s Fabulous Hoagies, situated down the road from his internship location . Parry said learning the job of funeral director is something that you learn from watching closely and experiencing events firsthand. “Basically as a director intern, I’m supposed to watch and learn how it’s done. Some things you just can’t learn in the classroom, even though they try to prepare you. Learning how to talk to mourning families is definitely something you have to get used to,” Parry said.
Eric Parry
Another interesting part of the job, according to Parry, is the constant shift in hours. “I can tell you firsthand that the hours can be crazy sometimes. It can be in the middle of the night and we’ll get a call.” When Parry isn’t working and interning at the funeral home, he is an avid golfer and youth football coach for the Abington Jr. Comets, a team on which his brother plays. “I really enjoy coaching the kids. I played football my entire life and finally I had the time to give coaching a try,” Parry said. While at the University of Pittsburgh, Parry earned a degree in Political Science, an interest he learned from his dad, Tom Parry, owner of Nickie’s Fabulous Hoagies, located in Clarks Summit. “My dad was involved in local politics when I was growing up and I think I just got hooked and wanted to learn more about it. Unfortunately, when I got out of college there aren’t many jobs in the economy for that but I’ll always have an interest,” Parry said. When asked if he might be interested in running for some type of office in the future Parry said smiling... “We’ll see.”

Watershed authority talks with the public
Ransom Twp. reviews new maps
The Abington Regional Wastewater Authority held a public forum Sept. 21 at Abington Heights High School to answer questions in regard to the proposed construction of an update to the current sewage treatment plant located on Route 11 in Chinchilla. It was noted that the Wastewater Authority has to perform the needed updates due to a violation it received, and that it is now required to bring the plant up to current mandates for nutrient reduction and modifications. Mike Donohue, Esq., solicitor, noted that the function of the authority is to treat the sewage of the municipalities through the plant and its main interceptor lines, and to operate the collection system as well as to set the budget for the treatment charge, and that the municipalities set the rates charged to the users. “This is what the plant is to do. However, the plant is experiencing deterioration of the collection pipes that led to infiltration bypasses. We are now having cracks in pipes show up and they are getting old. This is one of the many factors that led us to receiving the violation from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection,” he said. The violation noted that the authority has to fully cooperate to correct the wastewater infrastructure, and was forced to close for a few months to come up with a solution and plan to correct the problem. The plant is further in violation of not being up to date in regard to the process of removing nitrates and phosphate nutrients. With the violation overhead, the Abington Regional Wastewater Authority had to start a plan and begin the process of making the corrections and updates to the plant. The authority put in place the requirements needed, determined the type and size of facility, municipal obligations, a memorandum of agreement, designated ARWA as Coordinator, put together a Task Activity Report, as well as a Corrective Action Plan and received approval of the Regional CAP, TAR and Schedule. It further has put together a planning report concerning the three municipalities of Clarks Green, Clarks Summit and South Abington Twp. However, still looming was how to now pay for a $35 million project. “There are many ways to finance this project. You can have in term financing, which is similar to a construction loan, with a term of less than three years; a permanent financing option, which is repaying the new debt over a term longer than three years, typically 10 to 25 years; or bond security, which is a secured by the full faith, credit and taxing power of the township or borough, and normally a general obligation bond receives a lower interest rate,” said Gibbons. Gibbons added that if the municipalities use some cash reserves when they finance, the amount to be financed would be lowered, which could lower the payments. It was explained that the current monthly charges to the municipalities is $23.06 per household, and a projected monthly charge in 2015 could be estimated at $42.28, which boils down to a monthly increase of $19.22, which is less than $5 per week.

RANSOM TWP. - New maps were submitted in regard to the Dorothy Richards Estate Subdivision by Ransom Township Engineer John Seamans to the Ransom Township Planning Commission at a meeting held Sept. 19. Seamans said the maps are exactly the same as the ones previously submitted, and no changes have been made to the plans except that the classification of the subdivision has been changed from minor to major. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to grant conditional approval subject to favorable receipt of the Lackawanna County Planning Commission and the DEP Planning Modules. The Ransom Township board of Supervisors also held a special meeting regarding the subdivision immediately following the Planning Commission’s meeting. A unanimous vote was cast to grant conditional approval subject to favorable receipt of the Lackawanna County and Ransom Township Planning Commissions and the DEP planning modules, echoing the Ransom Township Planning Commission’s earlier vote. The next Ransom Township meeting will be held Oct. 3.

ed a comparison of user rates for 2015 to show the public what it may expect. Currently, the township of Moscow pays $60 a month, Benton-Nicholas pays $55 a month and Scranton pays $42.87 and in the year 2015 those rates are unclear for those townships. But in 2015 rates in the Clarks Summit Borough could be $59.82 per month, Clarks Green Borough $54.22 and South Abington Township could be at $52.55. Attorney Michael Donohue added, “These rates are just the rates that the Abington Regional Wastewater Authority has to set, this does not include the rates the each municipality has to set for their own townships, so you basically get a rate from the water authority as well as your municipality that combines into one. Please remember these are rough guesses. We still have to do the bidding process and the prices could go down and yes they could go up but for now we are just giving you the approximate numbers.” With all this in place, the project is to be constructed and completed by 2014, with the construction bids and financing done in 2012 and actual construction to begin in 2013. The Abington Water Authority urged the public to visit its website at www.abingtonwastewater.org for more information and noted that the meeting will be available via video to review on the website as well.

Joint effort leads Toys for Tots
Dalton Library Delights with Mary Keenan Hart
BY ANDY DAVIS Abington Journal Correspondent
The Northeast Pa. Harley Owners Group is assisting the Marines a Motorcycle Benefit for Toys for Tots Oct. 2. The ride will start at Electric City Harley Davidson at noon through Lackawanna County into Luzerne County, finishing at Midtown Sports Bar near the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton International airport in Avoca. A friendly police escort will be Bernadette given to the Menendez ride from police forces along the way. Bernadette Menendez, the treasurer for her Harley Owners Group chapter, is the person responsible for coordinating the event. She said she thinks that this is definitely a good time for a Toys for Tots fundraiser. “There are a lot of kids out there that need gifts. Especially with all of the flooding and disasters we’ve had lately…no child should have a Christmas without gifts,” Menendez said. The U.S. Marines will be seen riding along. Entry fee is an unwrapped toy or cash to be given to the Marines either at Electric City Harley Davidson or Midtown Sports Bar. The public is invited to attend the benefit at Midtown Sports Bar if not participating in the ride. The same entry fee is required. “It really is going to be a great day hopefully. The owner Ron (Wellington) at the Midtown Sports Bar has been great. Besides setting up a special menu for the day, he’s donating a percentage of the profits for the day and also brought in a band to play for us,” Menendez said. Santa may also make a special appearance on his motorcycle that day.

Fortunately the enticing activities at our library give me plenty of information to share with you. Story hour started on Tuesday, September 20 at 1 p.m. All pre-school children, whatever their age, and those caring for them are most welcome. If you’ve never taken your child to a Janet Geeza story hour, you’re in for real treat. Even adults are delighted by her interpretation and presentation of children’s stories. This story hour occurs every Tuesday at 1 p.m. Students in 4-6 grades can attend Kreative Kids Kafe every Monday from 4 - 5 p.m. These young people were delighted to find Craig Czury at their first meeting on September 19. His creative genius led them to discover and express ideas that amazed them. ( A group of adults discovered Craig’s magical talents a week earlier as he led us in a writing workshop - and even had those who protested that “I can’t write” wrote wonderful stories about a special childhood possession.) These Monday Kafe meetings will continue every Monday from 4-5 p.m. and many of the programs will be facilitated by Keystone College students. The Saturday Spotlight program began again on Saturday, Sept. 25. Those attending discussed and recreated sections of “The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet” by Jamie Ford. The novel focuses on the lives of two young Asians, during WWII and then some forty years later. These Saturday programs generally occur on the last Saturday of each month from 10:30 a.m.- noon ( or thereabouts). On October 29, the group will be discussing Pearl S. Buck’s classic work, “The Good Earth.” This 1932 Pulitzer Prize winning novel explores the age old themes of the tensions between young and old, rich and poor, and the stress of social change for the citizens of China. The remaining programs will occur November 19, January 28, February 25, March 24, April 28 and May 19. For more information, contact Janet Geeza 570.563.2014 at the library. Of course, there are other programs that many adults attend. Every Monday at 10:15 a.m., our loyal bridge players convene for their weekly bridge games. And then on Tuesdays at 10:15 a.m., those who love Mah Jong gather to play that game. This summer a new game, Euchre, was added to the schedule and that’s played on
Thursday mornings at 10:15 a.m. Newcomers, whether just learning or skilled at any of these games, are welcome to join the groups. The games are played downstairs and the laughter and general chatter that rises to the first floor of the library certainly indicate many enthusiastic players. Our bi-annual book and bake sale is coming up soon. Saturday, Oct. 22 from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m., you can find plenty of children and adults books ( hard cover and paperback) to keep your brain cells working – and lots of goodies to satisfy your sweet tooth. And when you visit our library, don’t forget to look at the beautiful photographs on display. The photographer is Paul Krenitsky, a Massachusetts resident who is originally from Blakely. His works feature inviting landscapes, animals and unusual objects and can be purchased; the money raised will support the work of the Friends of the Dalton Community Library. There’s also exciting news on the county-wide library scene. For all you Kindle owners, the library now has Kindle books for you to download!! If you’d like to download any of the e-books, check out the library’s web site : <http:// lclshome.lib.overdrive.com/> On this site you’ll find the books available and how to access them. I think I hear all you Kindle owners cheering! Make sure you make note of Friday, Sept. 30 on your calendar. The Lackawanna County Library System is presenting one of its American Masters lectures at 7 p.m. at the Scranton Cultural Center. The speaker is Michio Kaku, the author of “Physics of the Future,” “Parallel Worlds,” “Einstein’s Cosmos,” and many other books. Dr. Kaku is professor of theoretical physics at the City College of New York and his expertise is in the area of string field theory. He has appeared on many CBS news programs ( you may have seen him discussing the safety of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant at the time of the Japanese tsunami in March ), BBC, Discovery, the Science Channel, and CNN. Tickets are available at any of the libraries within the county system – or you can use your library card at the door. Well, that’s about it until next month. Hope to see many of you on the 30th at the Michio Kaku lecture; his comments should leave us with lots to think about!

Stephen Ministers to serve church First Presbyterian Church of Clarks Summit recently commissioned its second group of Stephen Ministers, four members of the congregation who will provide one-to-one Christian care to people facing a variety of personal challenges, such as the loss of a loved one, divorce, a terminal illness, loneliness, unemployment or a spiritual crisis. The church now has seven Stephen Ministers available to help those in need. The new Stephen Ministers at First Presbyterian Church are Gwynne Gilbert, George Harris, Pat Henneforth and Mick Wirth. These caregivers will serve under the guidance of the church’s Stephen Leaders: Rev.
William Carter, pastor of First Presbyterian Church, Clarks Summit, Judy Cutler and John Conklin. Stephen Ministry is a care giving ministry developed by Stephen Ministries St. Louis. Begun in 1975, Stephen Ministry is now in use in more than 10,000 congregations worldwide, representing more than 150 different Christian denominations. Stephen Ministers complete an extensive, 50-hour training program that builds their skills and equips them to handle a variety of caregiving needs. Topics such as active listening, distinctively Christian care, feelings, crisis theory and min-
istering to people in specific situations are covered. A major emphasis of the Stephen Minister training and supervision is on confidentiality. Those receiving care can be assured that their identities and what goes on in the caring relationship will remain private. Said Rev. Carter. “It has been rewarding over the past yearplus to see how this ministry has blessed both the care receivers and their caregivers. This program has enabled the entire congregation to grow as a nurturing community where people are cherished and cared for, and their needs taken seriously, all from a Christ-centered basis.” Those with questions about
the Stephen Ministry at First Presbyterian Church of Clarks Summit or who know someone who needs care and support at this time, can call the church office at 570.586.6306 and ask to have a Stephen Leader be in
contact. Learn more about Stephen Ministry at www.fpccs.org (click on the “Caring Ministries” link under the “Church Program” header) or at www.stephenministries.org.

The district will need a preliminary budget ready for public view by Jan. 5 if it wants either option available. Budget discussions will continue during the board’s meetings and work sessions. In other business, the board welcomed its student representative for the year, Alexa Abdalla. Abdalla, a senior at Abington Heights High School, will be reporting to the board each month during its monthly meeting. On Wednesday, she informed the board that the high school will celebrate its homecoming Oct. 22. That same weekend, the National Honor Society will
be holding a Back-to-School Carnival at the high school’s track Oct. 21, from 5 - 9 p.m. The carnival will feature food, provided by Curbside Grill, games, which will be run by the different school clubs, entertainment, including jugglers and live music, a bounce house and a dunk tank. South Abington Township police will provide security. Admission to the carnival is free; tickets and food will be sold at the event. Mahon applauded the effort that went into planning the event. “I do want to acknowledge the tremendous leadership we’re getting from our student leaders at the high school, and across the district, but particularly the
high school,” said Mahon. “The carnival was a student-generated idea… We’re very much looking forward to that, but whether it rains or pours, regardless of the outcome, we’re very grateful
of the effort that has gone into it.” The Abington Heights School Board will meet for its monthly work session Oct. 5.

everyday business, has to be done online. So they needed to get up and running with technological equipment first.” Rudolph became aware of the library’s needs while she and her daughter, Julia, were volunteering at the First Presbyterian Church in West Pittston, Sept. 11. Rudolph paid a visit to the library, located across the street, and was taken aback by what she saw. “All I could think about is, ‘What if that was my library? How would I feel?’ Wouldn’t I hope that someone would show up and help me in some fashion?’” Rudolph presented the idea of setting up canisters in the library and accepting donations to the library’s board of directors the next day, who agreed it was a worthwhile idea. “It’s pretty amazing what she (Leah Rudolph) did for us,” said Barr. “She moved really fast, and we all really appreciate it.” Rudolph said the initial response to the collection has been positive, and she hopes to bring the first donation to the library by Oct. 3. “People have been donating, dropping dollars, we got a $50 bill in there the other day, change, it doesn’t matter, a nickel here, nickel there, pretty soon you have a dollar,” said Rudolph.

PRESIDENT
Continued from Page 1
she thought she could bring a fresh perspective to Clarks Green. “I’ve had the good fortune of being able to live in and visit a number of very nice communities. I’ve had incredible mentors and seen where a few individuals can really make a difference. Although you can’t do everything yourself and be successful, it takes some elbow grease to get things started, and I’ve never been afraid of hard work.” King is a graduate of the University of New York with degrees in English and art (dual majors). She’s worked in industrial packaging com-
panies since 1983. At that time, she worked for Cyklop International as product and marketing manager. From 1993-1995, King worked for Scranton’s Chamber of Commerce. In 1995, King joined EAM-MOSCA, an international company. King handles all of their web development, photography, brochures, video production, press releases and magazine articles. She’s also a Total Quality Management Facilitator for her company and works with employees on team projects. King has lived in Clarks Green since 1993. She is married to Stephen for 28 years and has one son, Spencer, 24.
Meet the President Interests and Hobbies: Avid gardener, golfer, skier, cook, photographer and tree hugger. While not necessarily great at all of them, I certainly have enjoyed the experience and the friends I’ve met in the process. I’m inspired by: My late father, Quentin. My mother told me that she could just see the wheels turning in his head when he came up with one of his ideas and worked through the details. He tackled huge projects and made us all participate. I learned to read electrical schematics and engineering drawings at my childhood dining room table. He wasn’t always easy to live with but he was never boring. Favorite Place in the World: My hometown of Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Think tree- lined streets and progressive leaders. That town should be an inspiration to every community leader. Favorite Book: “Jane Eyre,” Charlotte Bronte My greatest achievement: In my life, raising my son Spencer would have to be my greatest achievement. In Clarks Green, I suppose it’s a toss-up of the close to 600 trees I’ve helped bring into the community or my involvement with the Abington Dog Park. Interestingly enough, while he was an R.A. at college, one of Spencer’s roles was to plan events and encourage students to participate. The idea was to boost community involvement and enrich the college experience. I’m proud of them both. There are hundreds of weekly visits to the park and a real social vibe there. My idea of a perfect Saturday: An exhilarating outdoor adventure in any season, followed by lots of cooking and entertaining. One item I can’t leave home without: My Droid.

I can’t believe we are at the end of September! These past few weeks have flown by. As far as flood recovery is concerned at the Dietrich, we opened a third theater this past Friday. And we hope to open the fourth theater this Friday. We still have a long way to go though. Volunteers keeps coming back to hang drywall, spackle, clean and do a variety of other tasks. We are grateful for everyone’s help to get the Dietrich back on its feet. Donations are still coming in, but we have far to go to pay for the restoration and clean up. If you are interested in making a donation, please call us at 570.996.1500 or send a gift in the mail to the Dietrich Theater; 60 E. Tioga Street; Tunkhannock, PA 18657. We would greatly appreciate the help. Since we are at the end of September, the Dietrich’s Fall Film Festival is winding down. If you haven’t caught a film you hoped to see, the Dietrich will be showing film festival movies all day today and tomorrow. If you haven’t seen “Midnight in Paris,” I would recommend trying to fit its last showing into your schedule. It was pure fun and so magical. Woody Allen got it just right. And, of course, the city of Paris was the perfect backdrop. Visit our website www.dietrichtheater.com for film festival movies and show times. This Saturday, “Airing of the Quilts” will be upon us. I can’t wait because Tunkhannock truly shines for this event. Houses, shops and fences are draped with the most beautiful quilts of various designs and colors. I just enjoy walking up and down Tunkhannock’s streets and viewing these quilts and the beauty of autumn in the Endless Mountains. The Dietrich will take part in Airing of the Quilts by hosting a quilt presentation on “How to Collect Antique Quilts”on Saturday, Oct. 1 at 11 a.m. This year Mary Koval will share her knowledge of quilting that she has amassed during her 35 years of experience as a quilter, appraiser, quilt dealer, collector and fabric designer. Tickets are $8. These “Airing of the Quilts” presentations are so popular that we recommend purchasing tickets in advance by calling 570.996.1509. You won’t want to miss this glorious day of quilts!

With Jane Julius Honchell SEE JANE READ
Two calamities are cause for mourning. The deaths of yet another bookstore and of my hopes for a satisfying read, both within the span of one week, have sent me into a state akin to mourning. Earlier this month, feeling like a vulture circling above a dying beast on the desert floor, I made my way for the last time to Borders at the Viewmont Mall. Any pleasure I might have felt at scarfing up a bag of bargain books was tainted by feeling guilty for profiting from the misfortune of others. My grief only deepened when I dove into the first of what I think of as my “ill-got gains.” I’d been looking forward to reading Antonia Fraser’s memoir about her life with playwright Harold Pinter, and was hoping that finding a terrific book would somehow compensate for the pain associated with its purchase. Sadly, “Must You Go?” disappointed me on just about every count, mainly because it failed to live up to its marvelous potential. By potential, I mean two things: Fraser had a great story to share and what could have been an interesting way to tell it. Just think about it: we have a glamorous, attractive English aristocrat, author of several highly acclaimed histories, who meets a brilliant and famous playwright, and whammo! They fall madly in love. This would be no big deal except for the fact that they are already married – she to a member of Parliament (with whom she’s has six children), he to a distinguished actress. Against everyone else’s better judgment, they leave their respective spouses, move in together and eventually get divorces and marry. They live a highend lifestyle, mingling with other famous people, traveling widely and writing their little hearts out. They have 33 happy, productive years together before this unique partnership ends when Pinter dies after a long struggle with cancer. Now add to this promising story a potentially interesting way to tell it. Fraser uses entries from her diary, tied together by the occasional paragraph or two of explanation or summary, as her narrative device. “Yummy!” I say, licking my chops at the prospect of being treated to an intimate portrait of their relationship and to an in-depth look at two fascinating individuals. I’m just dying to get to know them, and I’m particularly interested in gaining insight into Pinter as a playwright. I was disappointed on both counts. I’m not entirely sure whether the form Fraser chose or her own personality is to blame, but the bottom line is that “Must You Go?” did not deliver in the way I hoped it would. Let’s start with the difference between what this book claims to be and what it actually is. It’s billed as a memoir, and as the students in my Creative Nonfiction class at Keystone College could tell you, a good memoir combines vividly rendered scenes and reflection. If Fraser were in my class, I’d give her a D because she provides very little of either. The nature of her diary is certainly part of the problem because it’s more of a social diary or book of days, used by a busy woman to keep track of appointments, events, parties, meals, what she wore and who she met. Granted, some entries include
quotes and narrative, and granted, Fraser met just about every famous person on the planet (dropping their names with lavish abandon), but I wanted substance: portraits of people, descriptions, and I wanted the author to reflect on and share her insights about the events in her life. I wanted to feel as if I were a fly on the wall, observing the lives of these two people as they lived them. Instead, far too often, I got the likes of : “Coffee at Grosvenor House with Harold. Very hot day. Wore new white pique dress with pink and blue stone necklace.” This is not the stuff of which a good memoir is made. The first of this three-part book, which recounts the couple’s meeting, romance, divorces and marriage is by far the most interesting, and I can almost forgive the lack of description because the plot is pretty riveting. What I can’t forgive is Fraser’s stubborn refusal to delve into the emotional world of these events. Maybe she leaves so much unsaid because of her innate English reticence, but because she fails to examine the effect her choices have on other people, it’s possible that she’s just a very self-involved person. Take her six children, for example. Never once does she even mention the effect her affair with Pinter and her eventual divorce of their father had on her kids, and search as I might, I couldn’t find any response to the pain of ending her own long marriage. My final complaint stems from frustration. I really hoped, as I said, to gain insight into Pinter as a writer, but I found Fraser’s portrait of him curiously flat. True, I did learn that he had an obsession for chauffeur-driven limos, loved playing and watching cricket and that he was a generous romantic who also had a morose and combative side. I also discovered that in addition to being a superb playwright, he was also a poet, screenwriter, actor and director. But I learned nothing about what made Pinter tick as a writer. To her credit, once in a while, Fraser gives us humorous glimpse of the great man. While visiting Haiti, Pinter goes swimming, “…thrashing round and round the pool with great attack, his eyes rolling fiercely. I am reminded of a dog thrown into a pool who wants to get out.” Unhappily, these glimpses are few and far between. If this book has a saving grace, it’s the devotion this couple feels for one another. Fraser’s diary records numerousexpressionsofPinter’slove for her, and in the final segment of the book, which deals with his illness and death, she effectively communicates the combination of fear and denial with which she faces Pinter’s end. I so much wanted to be able to say, “You must go and read “Must You Go?” but despite its interesting moments, in the end I felt cheated. The only bright spot is that I didn’t have to pay full price for this disappointing book. Jane Julius Honchell, who resides in Glenburn Twp., is a well-known features writer and columnist.

the Arts and the County Commissioners sponsoring municipal grants for events such as this. The grant money has been used to outfit the meeting room with a hanging system and is also used for posters, postcards and postage among other necessary items to support the show. The Glenburn Township Supervisors have graciously allowed me to host other shows for various art groups at the Township Building over the years as well…Hanging the show is the biggest challenge and I am lucky to have the help of Maryann Williams every year. We work well together and feel comfortable being honest with our opinions about how things should be hung. Maryann has an excellent eye and is a great help in hanging an aesthetically pleasing show… I would also like to thank Pat Atkins and Patsel’s Restaurant who generously donate several trays of wonderful finger foods for the opening reception every year.” Maryann Williams, Sarah Miller, Sharon Campbell and Pamela Summa are four of the artists who will be part of this year’s show. Williams resides in Dalton and works with watercolor, oil and acrylic mediums but uses watercolor the most “because I really like the transparency of it,” said Williams. “I primarily paint for the enjoyment. I find it relaxing and it gives me a sense of accomplishment when a piece is completed. I am a member of PEPS (Pennsylvania En Plein Air Society), and EMCA (Endless Mountains Council of Arts). The paintings that will be on display at the Glenburn Art show are a watercolor still life and a floral which are among some of the subjects that I really enjoy painting.” Miller, who resides in Lake Ariel, leads a Tuesday painting group and has been “drawing and painting for as long as I can remember.” She said, “The paintings that I will be exhibiting in the Glenburn Township Show include two scenes that are near my home in Hamlin, Pennsylvania. ‘Sap Buckets’ was inspired by the sight of a neighbor’s trees as he collected the liquid to make maple
syrup. ‘The Falls at Varden’ is an autumn scene featuring rocks and water - two of my favorite things… When I was a child my parents encouraged my interest in art by arranging for me to take lessons in oil painting and by providing me with a variety of art supplies.” She added, “A number of years ago I began concentrating on watercolor painting because it is so easy to pack up the supplies I need and carry them to any location. One of my greatest pleasures is to sit outside on a beautiful day and paint some little corner of the world.” Sharon Campbell, of Clifford Township, Susquehanna County, paints exclusively with watercolor. She said, “I love the fact that if done correctly, the white of the paper shows through the layers of color. My favorite painting is a small pink rose. The flower was a gift from our local florist, ‘The House of Flowers’ and has given much inspiration to paint very dark backgrounds and subtle shades of color on the delicate rose petals.” Campbell’s web site is Susquehannawatercolor.blogspot.com. Clarks Summit resident Pamela Summa began painting in her early teenage years with artist, Idabelle Mannear, a family friend. “The last ten or so years I have been painting with the Tuesday Watercolor Group started by artist Sarah Miller who inspires us. I love watercolor, its transparency and how it mingles and settles into the paper. I carry paints and a homemade journal that I make with me at all times, trying to sketch a little here or there. ‘Salt Springs State Park,’ painted from my photo of an overcast, quiet day with other friends and area artists and ‘Gaggling Geese,’ from my photo of group of geese following the leader will be two paintings that will be in the Glenburn Township Art Show. I think almost all my paintings are my favorite, especially putting the time and effort to place what is in your heart and mind on paper, and hope that when others view them, they will have some feelings of their own.” Her blog is http://prswatercolor.blogspot.com.

Twenty years ago, Zarko rewrote Moliere’s “Tartuffe.” Zarko reset “Tartuffe” in 1930’s New York, reimagined as an American crazy-family comedy. Still, it wasn’t easy to update a nearly 400-year-old production. Zarko said there have been some challenges. “The actors and actresses need a certain kind of delivery and physicality,” he explained. “And, frankly, people who are 20-years old or younger don’t automatically know that stuff. To imitate it truthfully might be a challenge for them.” While in the midst of rehearsals, Zarko says the cast and crew are excited about the play and are looking forward to opening day. What’s more, according to the director, audiences will enjoy the unconventional humor that is peppered throughout the production. “It ought to be really funny,” he said. “There is a lot of physical and verbal comedy in it, and the interplay among the characters is marvelous.” To reserve tickets, call the Marywood University Box Office at 570.348.6211, ext. 2161, or visit www.marywood.edu/mtd.

HISTORY TAKING SHAPE

POSTCARD COURTESY JACK HIDDLESTONE
T
his postcard, mailed to someone in Belgium in 1925, is one of many cards of this type – Metamorphic postcards- which use objects and human forms to create likenesses of famous faces from history. Metamorphic pertains to, or is characterized by a change of form. This card features Napoleon Bonaparte, 1769-1821, a French General born in Corsica who went on to become Emperor of France from 1804-1815. Note in the postcard that his hat is formed using an Eagle and his nose is formed from a horse’s head. How many other hidden elements can be spotted?
Abington Community Library patrons who are mystery lovers will want to look for five new “whodunits” that were recently added to the collection. “Death in High Places,” by Jo Bannister. Nicky Horn returns from a mountain climbing expedition alone, his friend having lost his life on Anarchy Ridge. That terrible day on the mountain plunges Nicky into a life of deception. His climbing partner’s father is seeking vengeance for the death of his son, and Horn must run for his life through a maze of intrigue and secrets. “A Rhumba in Waltz Time,” by Robert S. Levinson. It’s the Golden Age of Hollywood when ex-Los Angeles police detective Chris Blanchard goes to work for Louis B. Mayer and stumbles into the murders of a photographer and a B-movie actor. Blanchard’s hunt for the killer uncovers a blackmail scheme by the Nazi-infested German American Bund that will cause the deaths of thousands if he doesn’t find and deliver a collection of scandalous photographs. “A Mortal Terror: A Billy Boyle World War II Mystery,” by James R. Benn. On the eve of the Battle of Anzio, Lt. Billy Boyle is sent to Italy to investigate the murders of two officers, seemingly unconnected homicides, except that each body was discovered with a single playing card. Is the murderer set to take out top American brass even as the invasion of the Anzio beachhead begins? “The Blood Royal: A Joe Sandilands Murder Mystery,” by Barbara Cleverly. The setting is London, 1922. The city is war-weary and reeling from IRA atrocities, and Scotland Yard commander Joe Sandilands is further plagued by the threat of a spy ring being run under his nose by a Russian émigré princess. When a war hero is gunned down in his Mayfair home and the life of a popular Englishman is threatened, Joe has only days to root out the person behind the killings. He discovers that the murderer’s motive is more devious than he could ever have imagined. “The Vault,” by Ruth Rendell. London police call on former Kingsmarkham Chief Inspector Wexford, now retired and living with his wife, Dora, in London, to advise them on unsolved murders more than a decade old. He jumps at the chance to sleuth once again, as he follows a complex trail leading back to the original murders. This is a sequel to “A Sight for Sore Eyes.” Upcoming events Saturday, Oct. 1- “Playing with Words: An Introduction to Playwriting with Rachel Strayer,” 9:15 - 11:15 a.m. Grades seven to 12 Wednesday, Oct. 5- “Conversations in Our Community,” 7 - 8:30 p.m. The theme for this series is Insights into Utopian Living – Serving our Communities.

Stephen Wallo, the Youth and Young Adult Minister at Our Lady of the Snows Church and Church of St. Benedict, has known Francois since 2006 and had a direct hand in bringing her in as a guest speaker. “I first met Jackie at a Youth Ministries conference when she was just starting out. She really impressed me as a speaker and I’ve kept in contact since. We were looking to bring in a guest speaker for a while and it’s really great we are able to
have Jackie with us,” Wallo said. Francois, who was featured on the Eternal World Television Network’s (EWTN) hour long episode of “Life on the Rock,” and her visit to Lackawanna County is generating plenty of buzz leading up to her concerts, according to Wallo. “In the past we have had a really great turnout for guest speakers and I expect the same for Jackie. We’re excited to see how many people come out for this event because it really is something for people of all ages and will certainly be a wonderful night,” Wallo said.

From one cultural center to another The Scranton Cultural Center at the Masonic Temple in Scranton will host a benefit exhibit to raise money to help restore and rebuild the Dietrich Theatre in Tunkhannock. The Dietrich Theater in Tunkhannock, shown at right, experienced an estimated $100,000 worth of damage during the recent flood.
The Dietrich Theatre (the Wyoming County Cultural Center) was recently devastated by record flooding. Estimated costs to restore and repair are close to $100,000. The exhibit will take place Oct. 7 in conjunction with Scranton’s First Friday, as well as, the launch of the SCC Electric City Listen Local series. The free exhibit will begin at 5 p.m. on the 4th floor Shopland Hall and run through 8 p.m. Money will be raised through individual donations, sale of artwork and a bake sale. Donations will be accepted until 10 p.m. Photographs in the exhibit were taken by writer/photojour-

nalist and Tunkhannock native, Dale Wilsey Jr. His passion for life and his hometown are evident in his blog where he quotes: “Through the years, my love for the town where I’ve grown up and lived most of my life has grown with me. The subtle nuances and quiet, easy life has become a treasure when I search for peace and calm. Its history and age reveal gems through weathered buildings oozing with character and stories, the sprawling forests where maple, birch and evergreen trees mingle whispering amongst winds that roll over the soft undulations of the Endless moun-
tain ridge lines. Some of my best memories were constructed amongst brooks and creeks that carve paths across the face of the land. But now, the Susquehanna was carving a memory through me that would last until my final days like it did in ’72 to my father and his sisters. My grandmother. All of those who have called Tunkhannock home their entire lives.” All proceeds will go directly to the Dietrich Theatre. Visit the Cultural Center website, www.scrantonculturalcenter.org, for more information and a complete schedule of events. The Scranton Cultural Center is located at 420 N. Washington Ave., Scranton.

GREEN HALLOWEEN® RETURNS TO NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA HOSTED BY COLDWELL BANKER TOWN & COUNTRY PROPERTIES
Local Leader in Real Estate Celebrates ‘Eco-Friendly’ Halloween Costume Swap Again In 2011 CLARKS SUMMIT, PA (August 25, 2011) – National Costume Swap Day returns approximately six weeks from today and Coldwell Banker Town & Country Properties will once again host the event here in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Are you tired of paying for costumes that your child will wear only once? This Green Halloween® costume swap, which will take place on October 8, 2011, between 10 A.M. and 3 P.M., offers a solution that will benefit the environment and your wallet. Last year, because of the support from the community and our associates, Halloween was a little greener,” thankfully expresses Greg Solfanelli, REALTOR® and chairperson for the event, for the Greater Scranton Region. “Our costume swap was a ‘joyful success.’ We collected over 230 costumes during our first swap and gave out over eighty in Green Halloween’s® kick-off year. Those who participated in National Costume Swap Day across the country saved cash, not to mention, reducing the waste going into our landfills. We also donated 150 of those remaining to Goodwill, so other children received an opportunity to enjoy them as well.” Like last year, the purpose of this children’s
costume swap (up to the age of sixteen) is to make Halloween healthier for kids and more sustainable for our planet. This event is community-based and is meant to celebrate the true spirit of the Halloween season. Coldwell Banker is allowing costumes to be dropped off through October 7, the day before the swap, at any one of the companies three locations: (Clarks Summit office) 651 Northern Boulevard, Clarks Summit, PA 18411 (North Pocono office) 1250 Church Street, Moscow, PA 18444 (Valley office) 130 Main Street, Blakely, PA 18447. Children’s costumes, which are clean and in good condition, can be brought to any of these three locations. Those donating costumes will receive a token to be redeemed for another costume on the day of the event. The leftover Halloween costumes will be donated to local charities. “This community swap is a Green Halloween® initiative meant to bring healthier and greener alternatives to typical Halloween celebrations,” states Mr. Solfanelli. “It’s also meant to open the eyes of our region to the benefits of recycling their gentlyused costumes here in Northeastern Pennsylvania. For more information or if you’re interested
in volunteering for the event, please contact Greg Solfanelli at greg.solfanelli@coldwellbanker.com or visit Coldwell Banker Town & Country Properties’ Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/coldwellbankernepa. About Coldwell Banker Town & Country Properties Coldwell Banker Town & Country Properties was formed in October 1999 by Joyce Cornell.

FACTORYVILLE - This season, a pair of underclassmen have stepped up their games to lead the Lackawanna Trail Jr. /Sr. High School boys and girls cross country teams. The top runners for the Lions’ first three cross country meets have been sophomore Devon Clarke for the boys and junior Mollie Siegle for the girls. Both members are fairly new to the team, each in the middle of the second year. Both were great contributors to the team last year, but are a little taken aback on becoming Devon Clarke leaders so quickly. “I am pretty surprised. The only reason I’m not extremely surprised is because Justin (Clarke) did so well so I kind of had high expectations for myself,” said Clarke. Clarke’s older brother, Justin, was a standout on the team while attending Lackawanna Trail. Devon Molly Siegle Clarke credited his success to his brother Justin, now a member of the Keystone College cross country team. “He gives me a lot of tips,” said Clarke. “If you look at our form, they’re pretty similar. Just because he kind of showed me how to do it.” Clarke ran for the team in seventh grade, but opted not to run in eighth and was not planning on going out for the team his freshmen year, until head coach Keith Youtz, who was Clarke’s geometry teacher that year, had a talk with him. After the conversation, Clarke decided to join the team, and it’s a decision which with both are happy. “He’s really talented,” said Youtz. “He came out…and he ended up getting a letter last year. And, now he’s our top guy.” While Clarke has made a lot of progress this year already, he still has some other goals he’d like to accomplish, including
a 74. Scranton Prep’s entire team shot 81 or better. Ryan Brown tied with Lakeland’s Greg Reeves for eighth with a 75. Evan Joyce and Dave Pompey were part of a tie for 14th with 78s, Nick Johnson shot 79, Joe Chaudhari shot 80 and Jack Knowles 81. Other players to break 80 were: Rich Antonio of North Pocono, 76; Lance Nealy of Montrose and Kyle Jackson and

Lions continue winning streak By JOE BARESS Abington Journal Correspondent
TUNNEL HILL – With 9.4 seconds remaining in the second quarter the game still scoreless, Lackawanna Trail faced a thirdand-goal on the Riverside 1. Behind fullback Eric Laytos, Jeremy Greenley punched through a hole in the Vikings defense and stormed into the end zone to give the Lions the lead heading into the half. Lackawanna Trail carried the momentum into the second half and stopped state-ranked and District 2 Class A defending
champion Riverside, 26-14. “Last year we played with Riverside a little bit in the first half but then they totally outmanned us,” Lions coach Steve Jervis said. “I think the difference this year is that our team has more big-game experience and our kids know how to win.” The Lions have won all four games this season. Riverside received the opening kickoff and drove down the field before stalling in the red zone. Laytos forced a Riverside field
goal attempt when he tackled quarterback Nicholas Dranchak for a two-yard loss on third-andgoal. Tim Lebiak missed the field goal. “We had the opportunity on the first drive of the game and that comes down on us,” Riverside coach Evan Prall said. “We’ve got to get that ball in the end zone.” On Riverside’s next possession the Lions deflected a punt giving See Lions , Page 3

Buckhorns too tough for Comets BY ROBERT TOMKAVAGE rtomkavage@theabingtonjournal.com
HAWLEY- Wallenpaupack rushed for more than 400 yards in a 38-14 win over defending league champion Abington Heights in a LFC Division 1 high school football opener at Wallenpaupack Stadium Sept. 23. Buckhorns running back Pat Ingulli led the attack with 302 yards on 24 carries and three touchdowns to help Wallenpaupack pick up its first victory in the program’s history over Abington Heights. “It’s an unreal feeling, especially our senior year,” he said. “We’ve wanted this so bad. Ever since our sophomore year they’ve been beating on us. It was time we repayed them.” Wallenpaupack struck first just two minutes into the game when Brendan Downey connected with Morgen Hatton on a halfback pass for a 61-yard touchdown. Caleb Vogler added the extra point. “We drew it up in practice earlier in the week,” Downey said. “I just had to make the throw, I knew the corner was gonna bite up. It wasn’t the best throw, but Morgen Hatten got it and ran for the touchdown. It was great.” The Comets seemed to get some momentum back on the ensuing drive when Corey Degilio returned the kickoff to the Buckhorns 26-yard line, but quarterback Dante Pasqualichio was intercepted by Ingulli in the end zone to end the threat. The Buckhorns were unable to take advantage of the turnover. Ingulli broke free a 51-yard run to set up Wallenpaupack in Comets’ territory, but quarterback Will Hendel was picked off by J.C. Show four plays later. A penalty during the interception return moved the ball back to the Abington Heights’ 5-yard line. The Comets turned the ball again on their next possession when fullback Jerry Langan was stripped at the Comets’ 36-yard line. Downey capped a 6-play drive with a 12-yard touchdown run. After Vogler’s extra point, Wallenpaupack led 14-0 with 23.9 seconds left in the first quarter. The Comets’ fumble woes continued on their next drive when Quinn Karam lost the ball at the See Comets, Page 3

Lakeland tops Susquehanna again BY TOM ROBINSON Sports Correspondent
SUSQUEHANNA – Lakeland’s defense and special teams shortened the field by a variety of methods early in Friday night’s high school football game against Susquehanna. The Chiefs took advantage, building a 25-point lead in less than 16 minutes without ever having to move more than 33 yards on the way to a 32-8 victory. Lakeland used a punt return, penalty, interception and fumble recovery to set up the scores that broke open the meeting between defending Lackawanna Football Conference division champions.
Susquehanna, the defending Division 3 champion, got into immediate trouble when senior quarterback Sean Stanley was knocked out of the game when Dante DeAntonio threw him for a loss on the second play. That left sophomore Curtis Mill to try to run the offense on a muddy field, in a constant rain against the one defense with the most established success in stopping the Sabers’ veer option attack. “I think the quarterback getting hurt really hurt them,” Lakeland coach Jeff Wasilchak said. “He runs their offense and it’s a very difficult offense to run.”
The Sabers (2-2) did not manage a first down until the defending Division 2 champion Chiefs had opened a 19-0 lead. After Lakeland’s first defensive stop, Ryan Nichols returned a punt 32 yards. The offense needed to move just 14 yards, covering the distance in four plays, for a 6-0 lead on Tyler Brady’s 7-yard run with 8:17 left in the quarter. The Chiefs pinned the Sabers in their own end and Nichols returned the next punt 15 yards. Lakeland had to move just 33 yards this time – only 20 after Susquehanna roughed the punter to restart the drive – for a 12-0 lead
with 4:49 left in the quarter. Nichols ran 14 yards for the touchdown. Lakeland broke open its third straight win since an opening loss when Alex Filarsky scored two touchdowns in a stretch of 1:39 in the second quarter. Filarsky jumped in front of a slant pass and returned the interception 38 yards untouched for a score. On the first play after Lakeland forced a Susquehanna fumble, Filarsky caught a 22-yard touchdown pass from Kyle Kiehart for a 25-0 lead with 8:20 left in the half. Susquehanna crossed midfield just once in the

DeAntonio also made four tackles. As he walked through thick mud that left an instant footprint for every step taken after the game, Wasilchak said the playing surface was the worst one of his teams has ever played on. “I’ve never seen it like this,” he said. Those conditions contributed to a combined seven turnovers, four by Susquehanna and three by Lakeland.

CLARKS SUMMIT- Two Clarks Summit residents will run in the 211 ING NYC Marathon for Ryan’s Run to benefit Allied Services Nov. 6. Both participants, John S. Farrell, MD and physical therapist Cathy Guzzi, DPT, will run in the 2011 NYC Marathon as part of the Ryan’s Run team for the second consecutive year. WNEP’s Ryan Leckey will lead the Allied Services team. For Guzzi the reason is personal. “As a child, I knew the marathon was a big event and always begged my Dad to go early so he could watch the elite runners going by,” said Guzzi. “I am so excited to actually be running in the event this year. I’ve often thought of running a marathon, but have always shied away from the distance. This time is different. Running with Ryan for Allied is my motivation.” Guzzi related how working at Allied and last year having had a chance to treat Ryan for a hip flexer injury because he ran too fast made a difference. “And Ryan has told the world about his injury and treatment, so I’m not breaking any HIPPA laws by saying so,” said Guzzi. Guzzi feels the fundraising part of the race for Allied technology is key to community involvement. “We’re purchasing a Bioness functional electrical stimulation for neurologically- impaired patients. It stimulates the muscles to work, for example, in stroke patients. There is hope for other technology as well.” If you had asked Guzzi four years ago if she could have run the marathon, she would have said no. She had two serious operations, but ran for two minutes at a time and then walked a minute until she could build her endurance and strength. “I enjoy every run I take now,” Guzzi said. And that includes having competed in more than10 triathlons and having just completed a half Ironman. But, this November will be her first marathon. “Everyone I work with is on a mission to help people of Northeastern Pennsylvania. I firmly believe in the heart and soul of this company of doing their best for their patients.” Guzzi also believes in Leckey as a leader representing this area. “He’s one of the nicest people I’ve met in my life. What he’s doing for Allied – he really believes in and has gotten involved with staff and patients. We could not have chosen a better person to represent the marathon. But, wow, someone made a great deci-
sion.” Dr. Farrell became involved with the race when a friend and fellow runner told him how wonderful it was to raise money for Allied Services. He explained that the race usually involves 45,000 runners, but receives 500,000 applicants. It’s a lottery run. Farrell grew up in the Clarks Summit and his father and brother are both physicians. As a specialist in body musculoskeletal and breast imaging for Radiological Consultants and Advanced Imaging Specialists in Dunmore, he has seen many patients who have benefited by Allied Services. “Allied touches your life in some way or another if you live in Northeastern Pennsylvania. We’re lucky to have such an organization in our community. Rehab is such an important part of the recovery process and healing process. I see the value and necessity of rehab,” Farrell said. Farrell has competed in numerous 5K and trail races and four half marathons and his first marathon last October at Steamtown and admitted that the training is grueling. A big part of his reason for participating in Ryan’s Run is the charity aspect. “The stereotypical viewpoint is it’s for stroke patients, but rehab at Allied is so much more and so is the technology they have to purchase. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. I’ve been impressed to hear how many people I know that have been touched in one way or another,” Farrell said. According to Allied Public Relations Specialist Julie Judge, because of the success of last year’s effort, Allied moved up from a community level charity to a bronze level charity, and as such will have 20 runners in this prestigious race. All funds raised will be used to update therapy equipment and technology at Allied’s John Heinz Rehab Hospital in Wilkes-Barre and Allied Rehab Hospital in Scranton, which will benefit both children and adults with disabilities and injuries in Northeast Pennsylvania. Acquiring state-ofthe-art technological equipment will also help maintain Allied Rehab and Heinz Rehab as rated in the top four percent of rehabilitation hospitals nationwide. Readers who would like to make a pledge, in either Farrell or Guzzi’s name, can visit www.allied-services.org/ryansrun. For a pledge of $26.20, donors will receive an official Ryan’s Run 2011 exercise shirt and wristband. For questions or to make a donation, call Allied Foundation at 570.348.1407

Senior completes dugout project BY ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER lbaumeister@theabingtonjournal.com
SOUTH ABINGTON - In September 2010, Gina Baruffaldi of South Abington Township, now 17, and a senior at Abington Heights High School, began a senior project to rebuild the dugouts at the Abington Area Community Park field, Route 307. One year and a lot of cooperation, meetings, fundraising letters, phone calls, waiting and hard work later, the project is complete. The original target date, Baruffaldi said, was April of last year, but because of uncooperative weather, it was delayed. On Sept. 19, however, she was finally able to stand on the field observing the new dugouts with satisfaction and pride. “I’m happy it’s done,” she said. “I like them. They’re a big change from what it was.” The old dugouts had wooden floors and walls, which Baruffaldi said were falling down. The new ones sit atop concrete floors, have metal frames, chain link fencing and solid wooden roofing. Steve Smith, General Contractor, said not only are the new dugouts a better quality than the previous, they are also larger, with the width in-

beating his best time of 18:48 before the season ends. In addition to the cross country team, Clarke is also a member of the band, plays violin, saxophone, is a member of the soccer team, track and field team and indoor track and field team. He is also preparing to compete in Lion Idol, the school’s version of talent contest American Idol. The15-year-old Factoryville resident is the son of Robert and Christy Clarke. Siegle said her success this year also came as a surprise, but something Youtz credited to a lot of effort paying off. “She’s a hard worker,” said Youtz. “She shows up in the summer. A lot of the kids don’t do much until the season actually starts and then they show up and start running, but she works hard and she’s getting better. That’s why I think she moved up to the front.” Siegle played field hockey her freshmen year, but decided to switch and join the cross country team as a sophomore. “I liked running a lot more, it was something I was passionate about,” said Siegle. “I decided my senior and junior year I was going to do cross country, but I went to a track camp in Shippensburg, and decided I should start earlier.” The move paid off. Last year she was the top finisher for the Lady Lions at the district tournament, finishing in 44th place overall. This year, Siegle said her goal is to improve at districts and finish in the top 30. She also said she is hoping to finish a race under 23 minutes. So far this season her best time is 24:45. In addition to the cross country team, Siegle is also a member of track and field team, student council, Interact Club and Recycling Club. The 16-year-old Nicholson resident is the daughter of Tabitha and Phillip Siegle. Lackawanna Trail’s next meet will be Oct. 4, at Mountain View, where they will take on Western Wayne, Carbondale, Forest City and Honesdale. The race begins at 4 p.m.

creased by 2.5 feet and the depth by 3 feet. Last year Buraffaldi had many different ideas for her senior project, but knew she wanted to do something for the community, she said. She decided to re-build the dugouts when she came to the field for her sister Anna’s softball games. She said the other fields her sister’s team played on had much nicer dugouts, but, “When I came here for the games, I realized it didn’t look nice.” She said she’s glad the girls now have a

Baruffaldi said what she liked most about working on the project was what it taught her about “having to be cooperative with everyone and having to listen to everyone.” She said the hardest part was waiting on the weather, but it was definitely worth it.

Smith said he was impressed with the project. “She was thinking out of the box,” he said. “When I was approached about someone doing a dugout for their senior project, there was no way I could say no.

Riverside then recovered an onside kick, giving the Vikings the ball at midfield with two minutes left in the game. “They’ve got huge
