For President of Dalton Business and Professional Association Gail Rees, it’s all about community and how she can contribute to making things even better.

As an organization, the Dalton Business and Professional Association started in 1989 as a means for the commercial aspect of Dalton to network and flourish. At the time, it was more varied, said Rees, of the business environment. There were more businesses. Now, it’s more of a blend of businesses and professionals.

Rees quoted board member Mary Hart as saying, “We help to create a sense of community.� This Gail Rees is something Rees has strong feelings about. “I enjoy what I do and don’t mind carrying the role of president,� Rees said, which for her has meant serving in the leadership role for eight years.

Rees explained the importance of their events to the community. She mentioned the annual golf tournament. “The

HARRISBURG – Gov. Tom Corbett had many decisions to make when he took office in January, and he looked to Northeastern Pennsylvania to make three of them.

Corbett, 62, selected three cabinet members with deep roots in the region. They are: • Dan Meuser, Secretary of Revenue, of Kingston Township. • Richard J. Allan, Secretary of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, who grew up in Wilkes-Barre and worked in the family business, Allan Industries.

reason why we do this is to provide funding to two Lackawanna Trail High School students with college scholarships.�

Of course, the Dalton Business and Professional Association has events planned year round. From the free summer concerts in the park, which attract audiences from Dalton, the Abingtons and even Scranton, to the October safetythemed Halloween bags for elementary school children in the school district, there’s something always in the works.

CLARKS SUMMIT- The borough of Clarks Summit will receive some needed help to clean creek beds that have led to numerous flooding issues in the past few weeks.

According to borough manager Virginia Kehoe at the Oct. 5 borough council meeting, DEP’s efforts to protect the habitats in the creeks have made it beyond unreasonable to go in and clean the creek beds. “The creeks slowly build up sediment and water starts changing its source and the flood plain changes,� she said.

State Rep. Sid Michael Kavulich’s office is working with the Abington region to come up with a multi-community grant. The $1.5 million Creek Cleaning Grant would be a big asset to the community, according to Kehoe. “We have quite a large number of areas that where the creaks need to be cleaned in the borough,� she said. “Any creek cleaning grant money would be a huge assistance to us because we have significant flood plains in our community,� Kehoe said.

Kehoe estimated flood damage in the borough at around $150,000 from data compiled from a tally she has been keeping from people calling the borough offices with estimates of their damage. “I was very surprised at the amount of damage,� she said. “I knew we had something, but I never though the number would go that high. I’ve spent all of last week going from house to house with residents affected by the flood. I’ve had more in one week than in five and a half years. It’s just that bad.�

Councilman and EMA director Herman Johnson said it’s important for residents to report storm damage so the borough can assist them in their recovery.

Council agreed to set up a meeting with Clarks Green and the state to address recent flooding issues.

According to Kehoe, Sen. John Blake is trying to get FEMA and PEMA to declare the storms from last week part of the Tropical Storm Lee disaster event, so that if properties were damaged residents can get reimbursed. “Lackawanna County was never declared a disaster area, so we were trying to come up with some cumulative damages, some rough estimates that we

Nick Jury, Clarks Summit

Editor: If 100 Senators, 435 Congressmen/Women and one President in Washington, D.C. are serious enough to get the economy in this Country of ours going in the right direction again and really creating more jobs for the 300 million or so American Citizens in this Country, then why is it that more of these 536 people aren’t having the courage to recommend or suggest to all of us American Citizens that we should stop buying products that are exported to the U.S. from foreign countries and start buying more products that are made here in the U.S.? Can anyone of us begin to imagine how many more jobs that would create for Americans, and how much that would help the economy of the U.S.? No doubt it would cost Americans a little more for products that are made in the U.S., but hopefully the products would be of better quality if the companies in the U.S. make it a priority to make sure they are. If the companies in the U.S. were to do just that, then that would probably help this country to have a good and successful economy for all of us Americans.

It would definitely have a huge impact on foreign countries making a lot of money from Americans from exporting their products to the U.S. Who knows, it may even

cause the majority of those foreign countries workers to earn a higher or lower wage then what they’re being paid now in their countries for making those products they’re exporting to the U.S. What sweet revenge that would be for all Americans for all the U.S. companies that have exported so many of their jobs and products that use to be made here in the U.S. to those foreign countries because of cheaper wages, more profits and less faxes.

I just gave my opinion of what I think our 536 representatives should consider doing to start creating more jobs for us other 300 million or so citizens here in the U.S. If they choose not to consider doing it, then maybe all of us Americans should start thinking about replacing all of those 536 elected people starting in November 2012 and future election years, and start electing 536 new people over the course of time it will take to replace all of the current people that are in Washington now. Hopefully the 536 new people would do a better job of representing the rest of us American Citizens in Washington in future years. It’s time to start taking back America, and re-making it into the country it once was.

Let’s do it America.

John Hollenback Greenfield Twp.

Editor: I am responding to a question posed by Daniel Gleason in a recent letter to the editor regarding educators serving on a school board. I believe the question should be: “Should Tom Brogan serve on the Abington Heights School Board?” The next question: “Should the union have a seat on both sides of the negotiating table?” Because Tom Brogan has served as an Abington Heights union leader up until he declared his candidacy for the school board, I believe the answer to both questions is “No.” If elected, Tom Brogan will have a vote to decide how taxpayers should pay for benefits that he receives. Given this clear conflict of interest, although it is legal for Tom to seek a board seat, is it ethical?

As a current Abington

Heights board member, I can assure you that the board receives valuable guidance from the excellent educators in our district. However, the most critical challenge the board faces is the current budget crisis. I believe this financial crisis is in large part due to the costly salary, pension and benefit packages that we are legally and contractually obligated to fund. Recent examples include substantial contract payouts at the NEIU and Valley View. Such contracts are unsustainable. We need independent board members to negotiate fair contracts with our teachers and administrators to avoid cutting programs for our children.

Kavulich visits C.G.

Taking charge

Expert helps women gain control

BY JOAN MEAD-MATSUI Abington Journal Correspondent

BY EMILY CULLEY Abington Journal Correspondent

CLARKS GREEN- This month’s meeting of the Abington Council of Governments was visited Oct. 6, by Pennsylvania State Representative Sid Michael Kavulich from the 114th legislative district. He answered questions posed by the council members concerning natural gas drilling, flood prevention and road maintenance.

He mentioned what he called, “a very unique project” designed to take advantage of money available through a gaming grant involving Mount Airy Casino. He said he hopes grant money can be used to clean and widen area creek beds to their natural borders in an effort to aid in flood prevention. Representative Kavulich said that he is hoping to obtain a grant for $5.5 or $6 million to be doled out over the next three years.

When asked of his opinion on how safe or unsafe gas drilling was to the environment by council member Lee Jamison, Kavulich replied that he was “disappointed” with the issue because of the budget cuts to Department of Public Works that limits their monitoring of the drilling companies and that in his opinion the proposed impact fee was not high enough to make a positive impact on the areas affected . He also expressed a desire for a uniform impact fee rather then various fees for various locations. “If you’re going to impose a levy, it needs to be across the state, not county by county.” He said that the safety of the people and the environment of Pennsylvania was the priority. “This gas has been under Pennsylvania for how many millions of years? If we need to wait two or three years to extract it safely, it will still be there.”

During the meeting, Jamison updated council on the proposed system to recover missing earned income tax monies for the municipalities. “There’s really not the support to move forward with this,” he said.

Rick Williams of Clarks Green suggested that each member bring a member of the local Shade Tree Commission to the next meeting to suggest ways they can work together.

“Trees absorb a tremendous amount of water,” he said. Other members agreed that more trees would reduce water runoff and agreed to invite their Shade Tree Commission meeting to the next ACOG Meeting.

ACOG meets the first Thursday of every month at 7:30 p.m. at the Clarks Green Borough building.

The first event, held at Heritage Baptist Church, 415 Venard Road, Clarks Summit, will include the Annual Scarecrow Making Party, complimentary food, entertainment, children’s games, face painting, giveaways and treats.

Pastor Rob Hammaker, of Heritage Baptist Church, said via e-mail, “This is the 8th Annual Community Appreciation Fall Fun day sponsored by Heritage Baptist Church and the ABPA. For the past two years, we have combined efforts to host a great day for our community.”

Hammaker said the day will also feature carnival rides, a hayride, pony rides from 2 to 4 p.m., chainsaw carving, live bluegrass music from 11 a.m. to noon and 12:30 to 1:30 p.m, a magic show with Phil Crosson at 1 p.m., Juggler Rob Smith at 1:30 p.m. and the scarcrow making from 2 to 4 p.m.

ABPA member businesses will be sponsoring their own scarecrows for their businesses and the community is invited to vote for their favorite

business scarecrow pictured on Page A5 this week in TheAbington Journal, news@theabingtonjournal.com. One community voter will win a gift certificate valid at any of the participating stores.

The second event, held Oct. 29 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., which includes trick-or-treating and live pumpkin carving demonstrations, will take place at various businesses throughout downtown Clarks Summit.

Mark Crouthamel, of Sculpted Ice Works, who also works with the Clarks Summit Festival of Ice each year, said he will be using pumpkins of various sizes for the demonstrations, the largest being more than four feet across. He said he will use a variety of different tools for the carvings, from small hand tools to a chainsaw, and will be making designs, all with a Halloween theme, such as scenes with tree branches and a moon, witches, scary and funny faces.

Crouthamel said he has participated in the Clarks Summit Festival of Ice, creating ice carvings since its second year, but has never done pumpkin carving demonstrations before. “I’m excited to do it,” he said.

The events of the day are targeted for all ages, and Crouthamel said he thinks it will be a great afternoon to “get out on a fall day.”

CLARKS SUMMIT- Everything Natural, located at 426 S. State Street in Clarks Summit will present a free lecture by Dr. Hyla Cass, M.D., an expert in the field of integrative medicine and psychiatry.

Barry Kaplan, co-owner of Everything Natural said, “She (Dr. Cass) has taken her training and really developed an understanding and a practice that works with coaching and women’s issues. The lecture she’s going to be doing is essentially a women’s health lecture and a take charge health plan for women. She will be talking to them about how they can destress their lives and do it naturally.”

Her Oct. 19 lecture, “A Take-Charge Health Plan for Women,” will discuss from 7 to 9 p.m., the latest in natural solutions for women’s health, including how to de-stress your life; balance your brain chemistry without drugs; fight estrogen dominance and naturally balance your hormones and avoid blood sugar imbalances and the health problems to which it leads.

Dr. Cass is the author of “Natural Highs,” “8 Weeks to Vibrant Health,” and “Supplement Your Prescription.” She appears regularly on radio, television, including “The View” and “MSNBC’ and in newspapers and periodicals including the Los Angeles Times, The Toronto Star, Cosmopolitan, Time Magazine and People Magazine.

Cass, a pioneer in the field of integrative medicine said, “There is a great deal of scientific evidence for the healing properties of natural products such as herbs, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. There are also modern lab testing methods to detect the underlying causes of symptoms rather than just labeling the condition and treating with drugs to reduce symptoms i.e. not addressing the root cause. For example, many women are given a prescription for antidepressants to treat PMS or menopausal symptoms, when what is needed are dietary and supplement recommendations to balance their hormones.

If that is insufficient, I will prescribe bio-identical hormones. Or if your issue is fatigue or insomnia, I can

recommend some safe and effective nutritional supplements.”

She added, “I use an integrated approach in my evaluation and treatment of individuals with a wide variety of problems. Areas of expertise include nutritional medicine, holistic psychiatry, anti-aging, women’s health (including natural hormone therapy), stress reduction, and natural treatments for allergies, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, attention deficit disorder ADD/ADHD), addictions, anxiety disorders, and depression, including bipolar disorder. I help people to reduce or eliminate psychotropic medication such as antidepressants by correcting metabolic imbalances with supplements. I also have a program for maintenance of optimal health and longevity. Evaluations include a thorough history, and laboratory tests.

I may recommend dietary and lifestyle changes, nutritional supplements, and/or natural hormone therapy.

You can find out more by reading my book, ‘8 Weeks to Vibrant Health’ and by coming to hear me speak at Everything Natural on Wednesday, October 19.”

Cass graduated from the University Of Toronto School Of Medicine, interned at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center, and completed a psychiatric residency at CedarsSinai Medical Center/UCLA School of Medicine.

CLARKS SUMMIT- NAMI Pennsylvania: Scranton Area will host the area’s first ever mental health gala Oct. 20, from 6 - 9 p.m. at the Inn at Nichols Village.

The theme of the event is “An Evening of Hope,” and the goal is to bring attention to mental health issues and raise money for mental health programs in our region, said Marie Onukiavage, executive director of NAMI, or National Alliance of Mental Illness.

“Our guests can expect good food, wonderful company, information and inspiration. As the event theme, ‘An Evening of Hope,’ implies, we hope persons will come away from the gala believing that recovery from mental illness is possible and should be supported by our community; believing that hope exists and recovery is possible,” said Onukiavage, who added that the organization hopes to make the gala an annual event.

Speakers at the event include NAMI Scranton President Owen Dougherty and Scranton Police Chief Daniel Duffy.

Scranton Patrol Officer Joseph Dombroski and Judge Robert A. Mazzoni, who were both awarded the NAMI Scranton Candlelight Award, will also be honored.

According to Onukiavage, NAMI chose speakers “who would be examples of what a difference changing perceptions could make in the lives of people with mental illness in NEPA.” “In addition to being the affiliate spokesperson, as the NAMI Scranton President, Owen Dougherty helps to establish goals and priorities that support the NAMI Scranton mission of improving the lives of persons

with mental illness in NEPA. He is responsible for organizing the board and members to work towards achieving those goals,” said Onukiavage.

NAMI also asked Chief Duffy to speak because the Scranton Police Department “has embraced the Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) effort in Lackawanna County. CIT is a pre-booking jail diversion program designed to improve outcomes of police interactions with people in mental health crisis,” added Onukiavage.

According to Onukiavage, NAMI Scranton “works on a daily basis to change people’s perceptions of mental health and mental illness. We hold several events throughout the year that are open to the public and are meant to raise awareness, but we realize awareness can also be created with one huge event that can raise financial support as well as encourage new attitudes.”

Onukiavage added that “the board realized that in these tough economic times, when many organizations are facing budget cuts, it is often difficult to provide the small things that can enhance treatment and support a person’s recovery. All proceeds from the gala will go into a fund meant to support and enhance a person’s recovery.”

The event is open to the public and costs $50. There will be a raffle, including gift certificates to local businesses, sessions with a personal trainer, an hourlong massage from Rejuven Essence Spa, Tupperware baskets and a two-night stay at Nichols Village Hotel & Spa. The Inn at Nichols Village is located at1101Northern Boulevard in South Abington. To purchase tickets, contact NAMI at 570.342.1047

WAVERLY - The Waverly Community Church, 101 Carbondale Rd. Waverly, will host a guest speaker the weekend of Oct. 14-16. Missionary/evangelist Lucien Behar will speak using scripture on his topic “Maximum Living for Ordinary People.”

Behar has worn many hats in his religious life. As a teacher, he has been a visiting professor at Wesley Biblical Seminary in Jackson, Mississippi for seven years. As a pastor, he served as an assistant pastor at both West Morris Street Free Methodist Church in Indianapolis, Ind. and First Free Methodist Church in St. Petersburg, Fla. He is currently a full-time evangelist speaking to schools of evange-

office, said having worked with Noonan since 2005 made him an easy choice.

Corbett said Noonan is a decision maker who had the background for the job. Noonan is a Marine Corps veteran of the Vietnam War and worked for the FBI before coming to the AG’s office as senior agent/lead investigator.

“I asked Frank to become senior agent when Cliff O’Hara retired in 2009,” Corbett said. “He can work with people, and he can make decisions. And I felt it was important to have a state police commissioner from outside of the state police ranks. Frank brought a fresh perspective to the job.”

Corbett said Noonan has been traveling around the state meeting troopers.

“He’s a leader and he’s lead-

lism, church growth seminars, revivals, pastor’s conferences and men’s retreats.

“He’s a dyLucien Behar namic speaker and a powerful evangelist,” said Pastor James Cohen of Waverly Community Church. “He has a powerful testimony.”

Behar was born in Cairo, Egypt. He was born into a Jewish life, but became a believer in Christ through British missionaries. Behar and his wife of 50 years, Molly, recently spent four years as missionaries in Belgium. They returned to the U.S. in 2007. They have two children: Lee, who lives with his wife Brooke in Chattanooga,

Tenn. and Janet, who lives with her husband Tim Lescalleet in Murphy, N.C. The also have seven grandchildren: McKenna, Emelin and Knox Behar and Jacob, Noah, Joylin and Faith Lescalleet.

This will be Behar’s second appearance at Waverly Community Church. “We had him coming ten years ago. We are looking forward to having him again,” said Cohen. “He’s a well-seasoned evangelist.”

The Behars are available for ministry in the U.S. and around the world.

“Maximum Living for Ordinary People” will be hosted Oct. 14 and 15 at 7 p.m., Oct. 16 at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. For more information, call 570.587.2280 or e-mail www.waverlycommunitychurch.org.

ing,” Corbett said.

Corbett said he met Allan a number of times, but didn’t know him very well. He said he looked at Allan’s background and was certain he was the man for the DCNR job.

“Again, we wanted someone who could manage and who could make decisions and Rick fit that bill,” Corbett said. “He had a business background and a lot of community involvement.”

Corbett said people skills are important in the DCNR position because of the extensive contact with the public.

“The job is all about people enjoying the outdoors,” Corbett said. “Rick understands that and he knows the environment.

He’s a sportsman too. And Ellen Ferretti has done an outstanding job as deputy secretary. They make a great team.”

Corbett said Meuser is facing incredible challenges in the Department of Revenue. He

said a major announcement will be coming within the next 30 to 45 days, but the governor wouldn’t tip his hand on what that might be.

“Let’s just say we will be enforcing rules that are already out there,” Corbett said.

He said one of the areas being looked at is the state lottery system to make it more efficient and increase play.

Corbett said he deliberated long hours before he selected whom he would entrust to help him run the state.

“I looked for people of quality,” Corbett, of Allegheny County, said. “And I wanted a geographic balance as best that I could attain. The Northeast did pretty well. They are three great people and that’s why I put them in key positions.”

The governor was quick to note that when decisions are made, they are not made by region – they are made in the best interests of the entire state.

Wyoming Seminary students create flag Third-grade students at Wyoming Seminary’s Lower School recently marked the tenth anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon by creating a mural-sized paper flag and posting it in the school’s Atwood Foyer. By dipping their hands in red paint and pressing their palms and fingers onto long strips of white paper, the 30 students created the flag’s seven red stripes.

They also cut stars and placed them on a blue field. Then the students, assisted by their teachers Sharon Conway and Elizabeth Gover, assembled the flag and pinned it to the bulletin board in the foyer. Seen after completing the flag project and reading their paragraphs are, from left: Oliver Lew, Kingston; Zachary Kane, Clarks Summit; Ethan Kruger, Shavertown; Jonah Pascal, Forty Fort and Max Liu, Kingston.

CLARKS SUMMIT - If anything could be considered a bright spot to tragedy, it would be that it gives others the chance to volunteer and help, and recently two area teens did just that.

Following the floods in neighboring counties, Amogh Prahalad, 15, and Ajna Prahalad, 13, of Clarks Summit, organized a clothing drive for the victims.

“We read about the devastation in the newspapers, and we decided to contribute and help them out,” said Ajna.

Amogh, a freshman at Scranton Prep, and Ajna, an eighthgrade student at Our Lady of Peace, Clarks Green, sent out pamphlets to their classmates and teachers, as well as members of the community, outlining items needed.

The children of P.K. and Dr. Sheela Prahalad, whose office located at 319 North State St. acted as a drop-off zone for donations, Amogh and Ajna were able to collect 14 bags full of clothes in two weeks that they donated to the American Red Cross.

The two said they are happy with the outcome, but not surprised.

“We knew the community would help. We were expecting a huge outcome, and we got it,” said Ajna.

“We want to thank my mom’s patients that helped out with the process by bringing all the clothes in. They helped out a lot,” added Amogh.

The two said they have participated in community service

projects in the past, but this is the first time they were in charge of one. They said they enjoyed the process and would consider doing something like this again if the opportunity presented itself, but first they will finish this drive.

The two are still collecting items for the Red Cross. They said they have been informed that the organization is seeking donations of other items, like cleaning supplies and food.

Those donations can still be dropped off at Dr. Prahalad’s office. For more information, call the American Red Cross at 570.836.2626.

Approximately 250 students capped off a week of festivities Friday at the Lackawanna Trail Jr./Sr. High School Homecoming Dance held at the school in Factoryville. The dance ended a week of events funded by the Lackawanna Trail Booster Club.

Numerous events were planned throughout the week for the students. Wednesday was the annual Lion Idol program. Eleven students performed for the high school at an afternoon assembly, students voted and the finalist performed at a evening performance at the high school beginning at 6 p.m. . After the program, attendees were invited to the annual school bonfire behind the high school at 7 p.m.

Lackawanna Trail played Mid Valley Friday night, Oct. 7. Candidates for homecoming queen and court were introduced during halftime of the football game.

inspiration behind the event comes from two-time cancer survivor and fifth grade teacher Lois Foley.

“The event grows every year,” she said. “Everybody really shows support for such a small community. It’s a very giving district.”

Gallagher thinks the event is beneficial for students to see their service reap benefits.

Peiffer explained that the addition of the trees would benefit both the city and the school.

staff members wore “Pinked!” shirts in support of breast cancer awareness.

The next celebrity bartending night, Oct. 17, is to feature a number of doctors: Dr. T. Brutico and Dr. Krafchin from 5:30 6:15 p.m.; Dr. Auriemma and Dr. Frattali from 6:15 – 7 p.m.; Dr. C. Brutico and Dr. Freiman from 7 - 7:45 p.m.; and Dr. Majernic and Dr. Mackery from 7:45 - 8:30 p.m.

Dr. Howard Davis and his daughter, Nurse Practitioner Ashley Davis, will be taking their turns Oct. 24. Ashley bartended at the same event last year, and said, “It was just great to see so many people from the area come out to support such a great cause.” Harold added that it was also good to see so many people there from all walks of life.

As health care professionals, both agreed that it is important for people to be educated about breast cancer. Early detection, they said, is extremely important, yet even with many recent advances in technology which increase the sensitivity of mammography, many people, especially young girls, fail to go in for regular screenings. Both noted that this is very crucial, as 12 percent of all women develop breast cancer and only 15 percent of those who do have a family history of it.

Ashley said it’s difficult to find a person whose life has not been affected by breast cancer in some way. If someone hasn’t been a patient him or herself, she said, their mother, their sister or their friend has. She said she’s always seen a good turnout for the bartending nights, and hopes the large number of people will continue to show during the next weeks in support of the cause.

The final celebrity bartending night, Oct. 31, will feature nurses from Community Medical Center.

GRANT Continued from Page 1 can record,” Kehoe said. “There is a minimum that the county has to achieve before FEMA will consider it. The borough is asking anyone else who has suffered storm damage to report it as soon as possible.”

The borough voted to keep in place the pay –as- you- go system with the Abington Regional Wastewater Authority that has been offered for the past three years. “The cost is going to continue to go up,” Kehoe said.

“This is their way of trying to soften the blow.”

At the meeting, a resident expressed his concerns about the parking situation on Bedford Street, near Bedford Towers.

Police Chief Lou Vitale said parking is now restricted to one side of the street to help traffic flow better.

Kehoe added that the borough is using Office of Community Economic Development grant money to work on storm water, sewer and curbing repairs under the Bedford Towers as part Resolution 2011-15, which voted on by council.

The project will bring the curbing out and define very clear parking spaces that will be off the street. Once this project is done, sometime in the spring, parking should be done within the curb area and not in the street. “That should help a lot,” Kehoe said.

Councilman Roy Davis added the borough officials and police officers have taken necessary steps to alleviate the problem.

“Eliminating the parking one side of the street took a lot of thought and initiative on the part of council and our police department,” he said. “Safety was our main concern in terms of getting the (fire) trucks up and down the street.”

John Cuck, a board member from the Abington Little League gave a presentation to council asking for financial help for renovations at the fields.

Upcoming in November, the association will focus on Black Friday Trim-a Tree in Dalton “where we involve school children. They attend and hang their homemade ornaments on the tree. The borough puts up the lights, there’s caroling and cocoa.

It’s truly a wonderful event,” Rees said.

Rees elaborated on how the Dalton Business and Professional Association tries to support a lot of other events and organizations in the community, such as the Dalton Fishing Derby and Dalton Community Library, because funds are limited. And the association is also open to supporting non-profit organizations. “A couple of years ago, I introduced the idea of a block party in late September. It was a get -together featuring non-profit groups. This might be a periodic event we’ll introduce now and again,” Rees added.

Rees attended Keystone Junior College where she studied liberal arts for two years. She then went to

“We feel that little league is a very important part of the greater Abington community,” Cuck said. “Last year, we had 836 children in the Abingtons register to play during our summer and fall seasons. Clarks Summit had159 of those, the second largest faction of the eight municipalities.

“We are very grateful and have a special relationship with Clarks Summit in that we use the Sheridan Avenue complex for many of our games,” Cuck said. “That is a great benefit to the league, for which we’re very dependant.”

According to Cuck, the fences at the Sheridan complex have been a danger risk and need to be replaced. He would also like to expand the dugouts.

Cuck said the Ackerly complex in Glenburn, which was constructed in1998, was funded entirely by the Little League and has left them with a sizable debt.

“The land cost $330,000 and the fields cost $380,000,” he said. “We had no federal, state or local financial assistance; therefore we’re saddled with a large mortgage of over $420,000.

Until last spring, we had no government funds to help us.

Last year, Newton Twp., S. Abington Twp. and Clarks Green contributed. Otherwise, all of our current funds are derived from player registration, team sponsorships and signs in the outfield, fundraising activities and most importantly the concession stand. That’s our life-blood.

“Our little league is the most expensive at $85 and we don’t like charging that much to the public,” Cuck said. “The reason we charge that is because of our mortgage. People don’t understand that the field is not paid for by the community. We hope you can help us out. It would help kids out and allow them to continue to play baseball and really enjoy that American summertime ritual.”

Davis agreed to attend a Little League meeting to discuss the issue further. Councilwomen

Barbara Evans praised Cuck for his initiative to get the programs to their current state.

“I think what makes the community great is people like you who step up to the plate,” she said.

Mayor Harry Kelly announced that the borough will take part in a one-week White Ribbon Campaign against pornography from Oct. 30 to Nov. 5. Residents will be asked to put a white ribbon on their door or car if they support the cause.

On the issue of discounted unmetered electric rate on the streetlights, the borough received a much lower quote from Constellation Energy than the one previously offered by Liberty Electric and voted to accept the new proposal. According to Kehoe, the new agreement will save an estimated $7,600 a year.

MORE THAN MOVIES Dietrich Theater Erica Rogler

This past week Margie Young, Dietrich Theater Program Director, and I decided to get our creative juices flowing by taking classes at the theater.

Margie opted for a jewelry -making class and I chose a beginner Photoshop class.

So far my Photoshop class has been pretty interesting. Instructor Jennifer Kozlansky started out the course by asking us what we hoped to get out of the class and by having us share our photography with the her and the other students. Jennifer also gave us tips on how to take photos so we don’t have to spend too much time using a photoediting program. I can’t wait to see what we learn next week.

During the jewelrymaking class that Margie took, she and the other students in the class learned how to create handmade clay beads.

They experimented with designs and layers and left with a fashionable bracelet and two pairs of earrings.

According to Margie, “The class was very satisfying. It was thrilling to actually make something so artistic and beautiful.

Plus, Esther is a very organized and patient teacher.” I too have taken Esther Harmatz’s classes in the past and can attest that she does an excellent job.

If you are interested in taking a course in jewelry- making from Esther this fall, you still have an opportunity. She will present an Introduction to Glass Fusing class Mondays, Oct. 24 from 6 to 9 p.m. and Nov. 7 from 6 to 8 p.m. In this workshop, you will learn the basics of small piece fused glasswork.

Each student will create a fused glass item, which will be finished, polished and wire wrapped. Admission is $60 and all materials will be supplied.

Esther will also be offering Jewelry Making Basics Monday, Dec.5 from 6 to 9 p.m. In this three-hour class, you will have fun learning about different types of jewelry attachment and easy wire -wrapping techniques.

Esther will show you how to make neat loops See Movies, Page 12

BY MARY ANN MCGRATH

A practicing local physician by profession, Wazique Mirza, who counts writing as a lifelong hobby, is the author of the recently published novel, “Zero Point,” a political thriller set in present-day Pakistan. Dr. Mirza will be on hand at the Abington Community Library Tuesday evening, Oct. 25, at 7 p.m. to discuss his book.

His presentation will conclude with a book signing. The program is for adults and pre-registration is suggested.

Dr. Mirza’s novel begins with the assassination of Malik Jahangir, the man who would be Prime Minister of Pakistan, cut down during a public rally at the peak of his election campaign. Subsequently, Dr. Kamran Haider, a brilliant trauma surgeon, and Sana Aziz, a female reporter, are unwittingly caught in a conspiracy that involves political ambitions, regional dominance and motives rooted in a race for the natural resources of the region.

New Non-Fiction for Adults “It Looked Different on the Model: Epic Tales of Impending Shame and Infamy,” by Laurie Notaro. Humorist Notaro makes misstep after riotous misstep as she shares tales of marriage and family with candor and laugh-out-loud prose.

“The Triple Agent: the Al-Qaeda Mole Who Infiltrated the CIA,” by Joby Warrick. In 2009, Humam Khalil al-Balawi, a Jordanian double agent who had infiltrated the upper ranks of al-Quaeda, promised to lead the CIA to America’s Enemy No. 1, Osama bin Laden.

Warrick, a reporter for the Washington Post, narrates the account of a CIA operation gone horribly wrong, as Balawi , who appeared poised to become America’s greatest double agent in fifty years, instead detonates a bomb and deliberately takes the lives of seven of the agency’s operatives involved in the war on terror.

“A Tale of Two Lives: the Susan Lefevre Fugitive Story,” by Marie S. Walsh (a k a Susan Lefevre). Sent to prison at age 19 on a minor drug offense, Susan Lefevre chose to escape from the Michigan penitentiary where she was incarcerated. She spent the next 32 years living the life she had always planned. She married, raised three children and lived a busy life with many friends and neighbors, all the while carrying the secret of her past. Here, she tells the story of her eventual capture and the courtroom drama that decided her fate.

“Cocktail Hour Under the Tree of Forgetfulness,” by Alexandra Fuller. Tim and Nicola Fuller, the author’s parents, hopscotched from Kenya to Rhodesia to Zambia, restlessly trying to establish a home. War, hardship, and tragedy seemed to follow the family even as Nicola courageously fought to hold on to her children, her land and her sanity. The family at last found an African kind of peace in the Zambezi Valley on the banana and fish farm where Tom and Nicola plan to spend their final days. The author wrote of her African childhood in “Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight.”

Dalton resident exhibits Marywood University will present a photography exhibition titled “Spare Parts” by Susan Scranton Dawson opening on Oct. 22 in the Mahady Gallery, located on the first floor in the Shields Center for Visual Arts. An opening reception will be held Oct. 22 from 6 to 8 p.m.

The artist will conduct a Gallery Talk Oct. 26 at 3 p.m. in the Mahady Gallery.

The exhibition includes large photographic composites integrating urban and natural elements.

“Spare Parts,” as Dawson says, are “Parts of a puzzle that may fit together.”

She says her work is “a process of seeking and winnowing. Being quiet enough to be aware of what attracts and what translates, shopping for your heart in your surroundings and finding your ground.”

An active member of the community, Dawson is a longtime resident of the area, currently residing in Dalton. She is on the Board of Directors for

Keystone College, a board member for Countryside Conservancy, and the chairperson on the Board of Directors for the Willary Foundation.

A landscape photographer, Dawson is represented by Laura Craig of Laura Craig Galleries, Scranton. Since 2006, she has exhibited work at galleries including Laura Craig Galleries, AFA (Artist for Art) Gallery, the Everhart Museum, and Keystone College. Recent solo exhibitions include Around Here at the Hope Horn Gallery at The University of Scranton and As Is at Laura Craig Galleries. Her commissioned work can be found at The University of Scranton in the DeNaples Student Center, at Community Medical Center in Scranton and at Mohegan Sun in WilkesBarre.

nization’s Blue Ribbon Gala.

This will not be the first time Marley’s Mission has tapped the artistic talents of the area’s youth.

Last year, the group asked area schools to invite their students create table centerpieces for its Blue Ribbon Gala, a major fundraiser for the organization, scheduled this year for Feb. 18 at the Hilton in Scranton.

“Last year the art was such a big hit. People just enjoyed walking around and seeing what the kids created, and the different ideas of what a first-grade class made compared to what a senior in high school would

do… it was really a spectacular showing of talent and what their understanding is of Marley’s Mission and how horse therapy helps children,” said Wintermantel.

Following the gala, Rebecca Haggerty, Marley’s Mission’s Vice President, approached Wintermantel and co-chair of the art committee Jen Macknosky about the art contest, and the group ran with the idea.

“It will give the public a chance to see what great art these kids can do,” said Wintermantel.

The organization has not decided how the drawings for First Friday will be cho-

sen; whether they will divide the judging into age ranges or have all the children compete against each other, but Wintermantel said regardless of how they choose to do it, everyone will have a chance.

“It’s all equal, it’s all from their hearts, and that’s what makes it so great. We’re really excited about that, and we’re really excited about getting people to participate,” said Wintermantel.

After the show, Marley’s Mission will select the best ones and have them made into special occasion blank note cards that will be sold to benefit Marley’s Mission.

animal characteristics are a result of the animals’ own foolishness.

Three of Kipling’s classic folktales from India will be enacted on stage. Young and old alike can watch how the elephant, cat and camel came to have characteristics that they still have today. Rich Ryczak, who plays the camel, remembers that “I loved Kipling’s ‘Just So Stories’ since I was a kid. It’s great fun to play out the tales and experience bringing these stories to life.” Laurel Rad-

zieski, who plays the cat, has performed in several Dietrich Theatre Children’s Theatre productions, including her role as the fierce wolf and the clever cat in “Peter and the Wolf.” She is a graduate of Keystone College and is a talented lighting and costume designer and writer. Doreen Schottman plays the djinn (genie) in “Just So Stories.” She has a strong background in children’s theatre, including improvisation and dance. David Swanson plays the elephant in this play, show-

ing his versatility by past roles of the Creature in “Frankenstein,” and Ginger in “The Gingerbread Man.” Director Jennifer Jenkins brings distinguished experience with her to the Dietrich Theater, including Stephen Sondheim’s Young Playwrights, and the PBS series Great Performances for Thirteen/WNET in New York. Sarah Henn, costume designer, makes the show come alive by creating simple, but convincing costumes. For more information call 570.996.1500.

Factoryville Men’s Club members volunteered and continued to work to complete the picnic pavilion. Building materials for the pavilion are being purchased with the assistance of a grant from the Community Conservation Partnerships Program from the

Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.

Keystone College students helped the Factoryville Shade Tree Commission plant rain gardens at several wet areas at the Joint Municipal Park. Plant material for this project was donated by Tom Stark, Stark Farms. The rain garden and rain barrel project aims to help naturally control and manage storm water. Rain gardens reduce runoff by allowing rain water and runoff to naturally soak into the ground and allow plant materials to absorb this water. Rain barrels take roof water and hold water for use in gardens during dry periods.

These volunteer activities will continue throughout the park this fall. Upcoming work dates will include planting trees, another rain garden and finishing the picnic pavilion. For details future work dates and how to volunteer, call 570.945.1014 or visit www.factoryville.org or the Factoryville Borough page on Facebook.

Clarks Summit, Pa.

Senior looks for strong finish to high school soccer career

BY DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@theabingtonjournal.com

CLARKS SUMMIT- Abington Heights High School senior Tom Steinbach has been one of the soccer team’s most consistent offensive threats for the last three seasons, and he’s looking to end his time with the Comets that way.

The Clarks Green resident finished second in scoring during his first season on the varsity team, his sophomore year, with eight goals in Tom Steinbach league play, and 14 overall.

He led the team in scoring last season with nine goals in league play, and 11 overall, to enter this season with a total 25 goals.

“He added four goals this year, so he’s close to 30 goals,” said head coach Steve Klingman. “So, for a high school career, he could finish with 35, 40 goals.”

Even if all Steinbach brought to the table was his scoring ability, he would be considered a great benefit to any team, but Klingman said the 17-year-old offers a number of other skills that make him a valuable asset to the Comets.

“I think his biggest asset is his work rate, he’s got a good technical level….but I think his work rate makes a big difference,” said Kingman.

You always hear that 110 percent and all that, but Tommy’s the kind of kid, his motor never stops.”

“Maybe it’s my work ethic. I do really like soccer, with that and skiing it’s just like give a 100 percent or not do it,” added Steinbach.

Whatever the reason, the effort Steinbach has put on the field over the years has been noticed and appreciated by his coaches and teammates, as well as his speed.

“I think in any sport, whatever it is, football, baseball, basketball, soccer, you need speed, and it’s one of those things you can’t teach,” said Klingman.

“And, with Tommy, it’s almost to the point of times where we actually want him to slow down a little... he’s done a great job, he’s been playing well for us.”

Golfers advance to states

BY TOM ROBINSON Sports Correspondent

ELMHURST – Ryan Brown won his District 2 boys’ golf championship more than nine hours into the event with a calm birdie on the first sudden-death playoff hole with darkness approaching.

The work Brown did before noon Oct. 5, however, put him in position to contend for the title.

Brown, who started on the sec-

ond hole at Elmhurst Country Club, birdied four of the first seven holes and five of the first 11.

By getting to 3-under after seven holes, Brown took an early lead, which he held through most of the first 18 holes. His 3-under, 33 on the first nine was the best nine-hole score by any of the 80 players in the field, including the 16 who played 27 holes to determine the champion and eight

qualifiers for state play.

Brown and Lakeland’s Greg Reeves each shot even-par, 72 for a one-shot lead over Holy Redeemer sophomore Mariano Medico and defending state champion Brandon Matthews of Pittston Area.

While Brown was winning the district title in one playoff on the first hole, Erik Montella of Abington Heights and Reeves

were back out on the last hole in another playoff where they worked their way into the state tournament.

After the top 16 golfers played their extra nine hole, five had to keep playing.

Brown and teammate Dave Pompey, Montella and Reeves all eventually advanced to state play.

“I thought we executed pretty well,” Valley View head coach George Howanitz said. “We have a good crop of seniors that are very good leaders. They have done a nice job for us the last six weeks.”

Valley View picked up some early momentum when defensive end Mike Galantini sacked Comets quarterback Dante Pasqualichio, which created a fumble he also recovered.

The Cougars capitalized on the turnover when Pat Jeffers scored on 6-yard run five plays later to cap the drive. The extra point was missed by Luke Brady, but Valley View led 6-0 with 9:37 left in the first quarter.

Pasqualichio was intercepted by linebacker Nick Krehel on the Comets’ next possession, but Cougars’ threat was quickly ended when J.C. Show intercepted Valley View quarterback Liam Callejas just two plays later.

After a Comets’ punt, Tyler Phillips burst through the defense for an 84-yard touchdown run to end a 3play 85-yard drive giving the Cougars a 13-0 lead with 2:28 remaining in the first quarter.

“Tyler Phillips has a lot of speed,” Howanitz said. “Our hopes are that if we can get into the open field, he can break one at anytime.”

Callejas was intercepted for the second time early in the second quarter when linebacker Jerry Langan picked off the Valley View signal caller. The tough Valley View defense forced the Comets into a threeand-out.

Pat Jeffers scored his second touchdown of the game to cap an 8-play 91-yard drive with a 54-yard run.

Brady added the extra point to give the Cougars a 20-0 lead with 3:38 left in the second quarter.

Leading by example

good one. Alyssa has started for me for four years and is more of the type of person that leads by example…always finishing first in sprints and always working her hardest. It’s the type of thing you want your younger players to learn,” Spott said.

Mallory feels that Spott is directly to thank for her growth as a player.

“She’s been great to have as my coach for four straight years. Just having her around…she’s the kind of coach that allows you to joke around with her a little bit but knows how to get serious when the time comes.

Just learning from her has been huge for me,” Mallory said.

When Mallory was a freshman at Lackawanna Trail High School, she had no idea she was going to be starting on the field hockey team right away.

“I really had no idea what to expect. It was a really great honor to be the only freshman starting that year because we almost won the state championship. I looked up to the older players so much that year.”

When asked if she sees herself in some of the freshmen on her team now, Mallory didn’t hesitate to answer.

“Oh, definitely. I think they know if they have any questions or need help with anything they can ask me,” she said.

Mallory added that she had one of the goal for her last season.

“Make it a memorable one. I don’t want any regrets,” she said.

The switch also gives Steinbach a chance to be more involved with the team’s defense, which he feels is a main factor in the team’s success this year.

“Our defense has been playing really well, we haven’t given up that many goals. I think maybe two or three goals all season, which is really good,” said Steinbach.

So far this season the defense has helped the team to an overall record of 9-0, leaving Steinbach confident in the team’s chances for success in the upcoming postseason.

The team will try to improve that record when they take on North Pocono High School, during the time of this paper’s publication Oct. 11, and when they travel to Delaware Valley Oct. 13, at 6 p.m.

Mid Valley added to its lead 25 seconds later after sacking quarterback Caleb Darling and forcing a fumble.

After recovering the fumble, the Spartans scored on the next play from scrimmage on another Russo touchdown run.

Greenley scored a rushing touchdown for the Lions late in the fourth quarter but after a failed onside kick and a 34-yard completion to Tomasetti on third down, Lackawanna Trail had no chance to keep its undefeated season alive.

“They’re a power running team so they did move us but we kept on throwing and our quarterback had a nice game throwing the football,” Pazzaglia said.

On nine possessions, the Lackawanna Trail offense had six turnovers on downs and a lost fumble while scoring just two touchdowns.

“We were careless with the ball,” Jervis said. “We didn’t sustain our blocks and we did not communicate up front.”

The Lions will try to bounce back against Old Forge at Old Forge High School while Mid Valley faces off against Holy Cross Friday at 7 p.m. at home.

Elmhurst welcomes new champion

BY DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@theabingtonjournal.com

After a quarter of a century, Elmhurst Country Club has a new Ladies Club Champion.

Leslie Salomon defeated defending club champion Ruth Dettore in the championship flight held Aug. 14.

“I was thrilled, it was really unbelievable,” said Salomon.

“It’s always been the talk, ‘Will anyone ever beat Ruth?’ I think everyone was surprised that this is the year that it actually happened, myself included.”

Dettore had won the title 25 years in a row, and after defeating Marie Gregg in the semifinals, she was looking to make it 26. Standing in her way, however, was Salomon, who was coming off a victory against Sharon Smith.

This was the sixth year Salo-

Area residents shine at Steamtown Marathon

BY TOM ROBINSON Sports Correspondent

SCRANTON – Peter Kemboi turned his first visit to the Steamtown Marathon, Oct. 9, into an overall victory.

For Renee Skelly, the first entry in any marathon resulted in the top finish among women.

Both Kemboi and Skelly had to hold off Lackawanna County runners to claim their titles.

Kemboi broke away from a pack that included Scranton’s Matt Byrne and Dickson City’s Kevin Borrelli, the event’s only two-time champions, during the sixth mile and finished in 2:19:26, the second-best time any runner has produced since 1999.

“I like this course,” said Kemboi, a Kenyan who lives and trains in Kentucky. “It is very steep.

“I train on steep hills when I run.”

Byrne and Borrelli eventually finished second and third.

Samantha Snead, a 23year-old from Moscow who was also running her first marathon, was second in the women’s race after closing the gap from more than five minutes to the final margin of 23 seconds.

Nancy Werthmuller from Scott Township was one of three Lackawanna County runners to claim age group titles. She was first among 12 women in the 60-64 age group with a time of 3:46:10.

Tony Cerminaro from Jermyn (70-and-over men) and Kaleen Lavin from Dunmore (22-25 women) also won age group titles.

Cerminaro, 75, has won his age group in all 16 years of the marathon’s history.

Clarks Summit’s Tom Kusy was second among men in the 60-64 age group in 3:34:11.

Victoria McGrew of Factoryville was third in the 3034 women’s age group in 3:18:49 and Ellen KrantzBuskovitz of Mayfield was third in the 35-39 women’s age group in 3:19:06.

Jim Cadden, a 48-year-old from South Abington Township, was 62nd overall out of 1,861 finishers in 3:05:29.

Paul Keeler, 34 of Clarks Summit, was 76th overall in 3:08:08.

mon had competed in the championship, only making it as far as the semifinals in years prior.

But, after spending more time this year working on her game, she was able to advance to the championship round.

“I have been practicing,” said Salomon. “I played an awful lot this year, and it was a good year, something clicked.”

Salomon, who said she was averaging 72 holes of golf a week, picked up golf almost 20 years ago, after being urged by a friend, Smith, to join a Thursday night league at Shadowbrook in Tunkhannock. “(Sharon) said I should join because I would enjoy it, but I was playing softball at the time, and I was saying, ‘I don’t really want to play golf, I think golf is stupid,’ and then I decided I’d try it, and I really loved it,” said

Salomon.

Right from the beginning, Salomon had an impressive ability to drive the ball, making her a threat in competitions even as a beginner, but it would take some work before she would be looked at as a real contender.

She said she began to put serious work into her short game about six years ago, and credits the time she put in with her current success.

“I started playing a lot more,” said Salomon. “And, I just I think golf is that kind of game where if you play it a lot you develop the skills you need.

This year, some of the other members of the club took notice of Salomon’s improvement, and commented on more than one occasion that it could be her year to take the championship, Salomon wasn’t as convinced.

“I was playing pretty good, and a couple of my friends said, ‘this could be the year Leslie, this could be the year,’ and I said, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah.’”

Salomon said the idea that she was going to be the new club champion didn’t really enter her mind until the 14th hole.

“One of the points where it struck me, we had gone to the 14th hole and I was up four at that point, this was the first time the status of the match had come up, (Ruth) said, ‘I’m in trouble,’” said Salomon.

The two have been friends and golfed together for years, and while Dettore said she wasn’t happy to lose, she felt good for her friend.

“I was happier for her than I was disappointed for myself,” said Dettore. “The look on her face…it was a joy to behold.

ver since she was two-and-a-half years old, Nicole Stefko dreamed of becoming Miss Comet.

She said it was at a Memorial Day parade in Clarks Summit when she first saw the twirlers marching up the hill and wanted to do the same. So, she picked up a stick and started twirling. Then, she said, when she saw Miss Comet, she proclaimed, “I wanna be that.”

The now 16-year-old junior at Abington Heights High School currently lives that dream.

It didn’t, however, come easy, and it didn’t come overnight.

Stefko said she began taking twirling lessons at three years old from Double “R” Twirlettes in Scranton, where she still attends. Many years of practice and hard work later, she was finally ready to try out for Miss Comet.

The process of being

selected as Miss Comet included a prerequisite of being on the band front, creating her own routine and going to interviews and tryouts.

It took about two weeks to create her big routine, Stefko said, and two months to practice it. She said the hardest part was matching the twirls and twirling sequence. “It has to feel good when you twirl it,” she said, “but it also has to look good.”

Stefko lives in Clarks Summit with her father and grandparents, who, she said, along with her aunt, have been very supportive of her twirling and the many other activities she’s involved in. She said she and her friends are also very supportive of each other, as many of them are also involved in twirling. “They were super happy for me,” she said.

Besides twirling, Stefko said she participates in many other extracurricular activities and hobbies: She

is dual-enrolled at Penn State Worthington in the Information Sciences and Technology program, has played violin in the school orchestra since fourth grade, earned a black belt in Tang Soo Do from UTA Karate in Dalton, sings with the choral society of NEPA every Tuesday, owns three horses and four mini horses which she rides and drives competitively, volunteers at Saint Joseph’s Center in Scranton and is a People to People student ambassador. She said last summer she visited Italy, France, Switzerland, Austria, Vatican City, Germany and Liechtenstein.

She said her responsibilities as Miss Comet, in addition to performing her own routines during shows, include overseeing the band front as a whole, creating routines for the twirlers, helping the color guard captain make routines, and helping the twirlers with their questions.

“Miss Comet,” Nicole Stefko, shown above, 16, is a junior at Abington Heights High School.

She said she also works closely with the band front coach, band director and drum majors.

What she enjoys most about being Miss Comet, Stefko said, is the knowledge that 21 girls look up to and rely on her for their routines. And, she said,

“To be the representative of Abington is just an honor in itself.”

After high school, she said she hopes to finish her undergraduate degree at Penn State and then attend The University of Scranton for a Master’s Degree in Computer Science.

Newton auditors request reports

BY SUSAN REBENSKY Abington Journal Correspondent

NEWTON TWP. - On Sept.

26, Wilbur Waltz, a member of the Newton Township Board of Auditors submitted a letter to the Newton Township Supervisors requesting information so that Board of Auditors, which includes Waltz and David Kveragas, could review all documents, including bills and receipts in regard to the township’s Recreation Center, located on Newton Ransom Boulevard.

Waltz and Kveragas said they want to research what has been done in regard to the center and to further insure it is worth the investment. Recently Newton Township approved to undertake a mortgage for the current Recreation Center which is in need of roof repairs, as well as an update to the current heating system and other updates, in the amount of $450,000 for 15 years. The board members explained that they have received grants to help pay for the repairs, and also have money available in a capital reserve fund and money market account.

Board members noted that there is a daycare center located in the Recreation center that pays rent that also helps defray costs.

Waltz said he requested to review the accounts/records, not limited to audit reports, financial statements, invoices for all expenditures, bills, vouchers and receipts. He said he also requested to review township leases and contracts for the calendar years of 2010 and 2011 to Sept. 15.

However, according to Waltz, as of the Oct. 5 work session meeting, he had not received a response from the township and wanted to know why. Waltz at the work session requested a response from the board as to why he had not heard from them and if and when he will get access to the information he requested. Solicitor Joseph Sileo voiced his concern over the legal issues of what the board should and should not allow to be reviewed under the request. He added that request from Waltz was not made in the correct way to obtain information.

“Right now you have a letter of request that has been submitted by an elected board of auditors. Everything he is requesting it is available at public meetings and I know he has not been at meetings. We have professional auditors that review the records and under the description of board auditors elected by the town, their only function is to set the road master salary. I have no problem considering this as a request -to -know, but they do not have the right to audit books,” said Sileo.

Sileo added, “From a legal

point, I don’t think it is appropriate for this board to give any information if there is no basis, it applies to the function, and that does not apply to them. They only have the right to review the information. Further, I feel it is inappropriate to entertain a request as independent auditors. Many things they requested, once again, are public record. I have heard that people are calling them and asking questions. Why are they not here asking questions? If they want the information, I recommend to them that they request the information as a citizen and we have five days to respond to their request.”

Vice Chairman Ronald Koldjeski said, “Reading their letter, I don’t disagree with this. We have hired auditors, if he is asking for this under the right -to –know, he can have it. I know we give you the auditor’s reports, financial records and other documents. Everything you are requesting is public information and has been available at all the meetings in regard to the Rec. center, including the financial statements. You do have a right to look at the audit and our finances at the meetings, the legal aspect that is at issue, because there are certain things per the solicitor that you cannot see and that is a legal issue.

Kodjeski added, “We have been thinking about what has to be done to the Rec. center.

It is a town building and we do have to maintain the building. Right now the building is not energy efficient and we need to fix that, with a new roof and boiler and heating system that will help a lot and with these improvements we should be saving close to 50 percent on our heating and fuel costs.

Please understand as a board we do have to maintain the town buildings and the decisions in regards to the Rec center were all done at public meetings….” .

Kveragas, who holds the position of one of the independent auditors said, “I don’t think the board did anything wrong, Wilbur and I are simply asking to see the records, we understand repairs must be made, it is a Rec. center and it is viable and our concern is it worth putting money into, that is why we are requesting the records to review.

After a lengthy discussion period, it was recommended by the solicitor that Kveragas and Waltz resubmit their request as citizens and not as the appointed Board of Auditors. The board agreed to entertain another request from Waltz and Kveragas and urged them to submit their request as soon as possible. When it is received, the board will contact the solicitor .
