RANSOM TWP. - At 5:30 a.m., Sept. 8, Dennis Macheska was on his way to work during Tropical Storm Lee. At that point, he was able to cross the flooded road in front of the Ransom Township Lions Club field in Ransom. “It (the water) was deep but not deep enough and I could go through with my truck. By 6 p.m., they told me it was five feet deep, said Macheska. “This is the first time the field was

ever flooded and the first time the water was all the way up into the next field. It’s more water than I’ve ever seen in all my life – 62 years,” added the Ransom Township Lions Club President as he pointed to the club’s pavilion that was submerged in more than six feet of water in the kitchen area and approximately five feet of water in the garage and nearby bathrooms. On that day, the Ransom Lions Club grounds sustained more than $20,000 in flood damage to its pavilion located at 3010 Main Street in Ransom. The facility is used by the community for wed-

C.S. survivor shares wisdom BY ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER

CLARKS SUMMIT- Ask almost anyone involved in efforts to raise awareness or money for breast cancer research why they want to help, and they will most likely mention that it is difficult today to find a person whose life has Mary Patterson, not been afcancer survivor fected in some way by the disease. Everyone, it seems, has either had breast cancer, knows someone who has survived it, or has lost a loved one to it. Mary Patterson, a resident at Clarks Summit Senior Living, Morgan Highway, however, has

felt the effects of breast cancer on her life on more levels than the average person. Not only is she a survivor, she said, but her mother and three sisters have all had breast cancer, and now her brother’s wife is going through it as well. Patterson stressed the importance of going for mammograms and being educated on breast cancer. “People are so foolish who don’t keep up with it today, because it is so common,” she said. She said she looks forward to a special event planned Oct. 25 by the personal care home’s activities director Gail Ross to raise breast cancer awareness. Ross said the “tea party style” event will include pink lemonSee Survivor, Page 10

PHILADELPHIA- The gift of music is something that can have a positive effect in several aspects of a child’s life, and right now members of the Abington community have an opportunity to give that gift. Abington Heights High School graduate Justin Deutsch is currently collecting instruments for an after-school music program at Kensington Business High School in Philadelphia, where he teaches special education English. Three years ago, Deutsch received a grant from “Little Kids Rock,” a national nonprofit that tries to restore and revitalize music education in disadvantaged public schools.

They will be stored there until the Abington Business and Professional Association Pumpkin Carving event set for Oct. 29 in downtown Clarks Summit. “I think they’ve got a winner here,” said Vitale of the first annual event. “The way the people have consistently come out for the ice sculptures, this could be a good one.” He referred to the association’s annual Clarks Summit Festival of Ice held annually in February. For more on the Pumpkin Carving and a preview at Fall Fun Day Oct. 22, see Page A3.

FACTORYVILLE -At the Lackawanna Trail school board meeting held Oct. 11, board member Judith Johnson made a motion to accept with regret the resignation of board president Dan Naylor, who was absent from the meeting. Vice president Ned Clarke was the interim president for the evening. The motion was seconded by board member Jane Rigard. The board agreed. “I would like to publicly thank Dan Naylor for all his many, many years of Lackawanna Trail school board,” said Johnson. “If you did the math of how See President, Page 7

Friends of the library to host fall book sale

Editor: I am writing to thank everyone who helped me and my son Dylan after we lost everything in the fire at the Over The Hill Farm. The tremendous support we received from family, friends, and strangers alike has made it possible for us to start over. Everything from the thoughtful and heartfelt things given to Dylan, to the gift cards, monetary donations and basic household necessities, are gratefully appreciated.

I cannot possibly name here all of the individuals and organizations that helped us but I hope to personally thank everyone I can. Please know that I am equally grateful to anyone who donated anonymously as well. I was born and raised in this community and it is wonderful to know that people here unconditionally help without hesitation. Again, thank you to each and every one of you for your help and support. Jesse Sabatelle

Editor, I have been following closely the comments concerning Abington Heights School Board candidate, for an at large seat, Tom Brogan. Recently some have been advocating for Brogan due to the fact that he is a retired teacher and hence would be an asset to the board with his education background. I must disagree. The adages ‘actions speak louder than words’ and ‘you should judge a person based on their character’ have stood the test of time for good reason. When it comes to both of those as far as Mr. Brogan is concerned, he is not, in my opinion, a qualified candidate for school board. As the chairman of the union grievance board he used his position to the advantage of the

unions at expense to the taxpayers. Even the most silly and petty grievance cost the district thousands of dollarsthat could and should have gone into academics, not polemics. Currently Brogan is receiving a pension, as well as full healthcare coverage for he and his wife all at taxpayer expense. All the voters need do is look at their school tax bills, which are currently due, and see what Brogan and his kind have wrought. Having a former teacher on the board may be a good idea, but that person has to have education and the students, as well as the taxpayers as priorities, not the union. What guarantee do we have that Brogan will not use his seat on the board to channel information back to the union? David Kveragas, Newton Township

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.

CLARKS GREEN - Clarks Summit resident, Carmina Rinkunas, who has been fighting breast cancer for almost six years, will be honored at an upcoming luncheon. On Oct. 23, members of the Our Lady of Peace School community are invited to the school’s annual mothers’ luncheon, also known as “Sunday Soiree.” The event will be held from 1 - 4 p.m. in the school gymnasium located at 410 N. Abington Road, Clarks Green. “We will have lunch and unbelievable gift baskets put together by parents,” said Laura Marion, student council moderator. Items to be raffled include an iPad 2; iPod iTouch; a BMX bike; a Vera Bradley basket; an UGG Northface Basket; a Pandora mother/daughter bracelet set; a mini laptop and a digital camera. “This is the first year we are honoring someone and we are calling it ‘Sunday Soiree Goes Pink for Breast Cancer.’ We plan on saying a few words about her strength, courage, perseverance and leadership. She will be given a portion of the proceeds to donate to her charity and she has asked that any money raised be donated to another family in our area that has been affected with breast cancer and the money will go as she wishes.” Marion added, ‘…There definitely will be a donation made to a local family and they can use the money to catch up on medical bills, pay for groceries…It’s a gift to them.”

Carmina and Jarret Rinkunas, shown with funds raised by Our Lady of Peace for the Avon Walk in NYC for breast cancer. For those not attending the luncheon, raffle tickets will be sold at the school. Raffle tickets are $1. This year, the luncheon is open to all moms and will give mother and daughters an opportunity to help to raise money for a cause. “Back in May (The Abington Journal) ran an article about Jarret Rinkunas (son of Carmina) being part of the youth crew for the Avon Walk in NYC. Part of Jarret’s responsibility of being part of the crew was to raise $500 for the Avon Walk. Student council initiated two different fund raisers for Jarret. The first was a ‘wear pink for a $1 day’ and the second was a Popsicle sale. Between the two fundraisers, student council was able to donate $500 to Jarret and the Avon Walk,” said Marion. The event is open to members of the school community. Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for children. To make reservations, call 570.587.4152 or 570.430.7429. Donations may be sent to Our Lady of Peace Student Council in care of 410 N. Abington Road. Clarks Green, PA 18411-2397.

Two from county among honorees BY KELLY LEIGHTON Abington Journal Correspondent

The South Branch Tunkhannock Creek Watershed Coalition and Dorrance Belin, both of Lackawanna County, will be included among honorees at an upcoming gala. The 21st annual Environmental Partnership Awards Dinner, “An Evening for Pennsylvania’s Environment,” will be held Oct. 27 at 5 p.m. at the Woodlands Inn & Resort, Route 315, Wilkes-Barre. The South Branch Tunkhannock Creek Watershed Coalition is being honored for its activities to protect and maintain the South Branch Tunkhannock Creek Watershed. Belin will be awarded the 17th annual Thomas P. Shelburne Environmental Leadership Award. For the past 40 years, Belin has been a constant presence in environmental protection in the area, and is also a founding member of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Chapter of the Nature Conservancy and the Countryside Conservancy. Overall, there are seven honorees, also including Earth Conservancy of Luzerne County, Joseph Orlowsky of Schuylkill County, SEEDS of NEPA, Robert Skulsky of Luzerne County and Bonnie Smith of Luzerne County. The winners are chosen via a nomination process. The dinner, which usually draws about 300, begins with an hour and a half networking reception, to give attendees time to mingle with the award recipients, speakers and other individuals and organizations working for the environmental benefit of the region and also exam-

ine the displays about local projects, said Janet Sweeney, of the Pennsylvania Environmental Council. Emceed by Thomas Makowski from Borton Lawson, the dinner will include Keynote Speaker Secretary Michael Krancer from Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, commentary from Richard Allan, Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and awards. “Now in its 21st year, the regionally acclaimed Environmental Partnership Awards program pays tribute to those organizations and individuals of Northeastern Pennsylvania that have achieved environmental protection or conservation through partnering with others. By presenting these awards, we hope to encourage others in the community to emulate the methods and achievements of the honorees,” said Sweeney. According to Sweeney, the awards were first established in 1990, as an Earth Day project of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Environmental Partners. “In the time since, the awards have

become a highly coveted honor. Their intent now, as it was then, is to salute those who bring diverse groups and individuals together to solve problems of common interest and to recognize those who use partnering as their primary method to achieve environmental progress,” she added. The Thomas P. Shelburne Environmental Leadership was established in 1995, after Shelburne who “was a highly respected community leader, who devoted himself, over four decades, to the protection and improvement of Pennsylvania’s environment. Each year, this award honors an individual who has devoted a large part of his/ her life to environmental protection and has proven to be an inspiring leader and a champion of partnering,” said Sweeney. This year, Belin will accept this honor. Tickets can be obtained by calling the NE Office of PEC at 570.718.6507. There are tickets available, beginning at $50 .

Post plans for Veterans Day

EXTRA ROOM ON HER BROOM

with Adriane Heine

Rite of passage

It’s a rite of passage for an American girl. When I was young, being one of four children in a female-dominated family, my mom had a strict rule on the subject. “You can get your ears pierced when you need a bra.” She’d pause and reiterate: “NEED a bar, not WEAR a bra.” Her goals were two-fold: Get us safely past the rough-and-tumble stage where a hoop earring could hypothetically be yanked out in play, and keep us quiet on the topic for as long as possible. I thought that was a good rule to carry through to this generation and was set up to present the argument when it became necessary. Then, about a year and a half ago, my younger sister presented me with a proposition. “Sofia is ready to get her ears pierced. I thought it might be fun for the girls to go together. What do you think?” Dani and her cousin Sofia are four months apart, with Dani being the elder of the two. At the time they were not quite nine yet and no need for bras in sight. Never being one to quell cousin-bonding though, I gave it a moment’s thought. My sister is a highly respected PhD, not known for rash decision-making, or for lending her child to risky behavior. She explained that she had done the research and that Piercing Pagoda had the best track record for employee training on the subject as well as the smallest number of customer complaints. Even though they were coming in to visit for the weekend from New York, she provided the hours when Piercing Pagoda at the Viewmont Mall would have two staff available. This is key, she explained, to getting both your child’s ears done simultaneously to avoid a possible cry and run situation. No one wants their eight year old to have just one pierced ear. Things went smoothly and Sofia and Dani emerged from the mall that winter day, holding hands, wiping tears away and smiling triumphantly. Old enough to listen closely to the associate’s instructions, they took their cleaning and care instructions very seriously, going above and beyond and staying infection-free with no help from their moms. Lauren started mentioning her desire to take the step this summer. “Honey,” I said, “You still have to be held down at the

doctor’s office for your flu shot. I don’t think you’re ready.” She agreed and we moved on. Then, when we were back-to-school shopping last month, I noticed that her eyes were glued to the familiar kiosk as we passed. She said she wanted to go ahead with it and I agreed. We cemented her second-in-line status, selected her earrings and then settled in to observe. The girl in front of her was about her size. As soon as the procedure was done, the girl started crying. Lauren’s face turned pale and she shook her head from side to side. “No…” she whispered. Lauren started third grade and came home from school very happy about her teacher, classmates and subjects. She only had one problem. “Mom, someone asked me today why I don’t have my ears pierced yet.” I explained that ear piercing is far from necessary; we all make these decisions for ourselves and not to let other kids pressure her. Within days, though, she was asking when we could go back to the mall. The whole family happened to be out on errands in Dickson City this past weekend and Lauren asked again. “Alright Lauren,” my husband Doug said, “We will go, but if you don’t follow through and get it done, you are not to ask again until at least your birthday. Do you understand?” That would give us nearly four months to avoid needless mall visits. Once inside the mall, Lauren excitedly picked out earrings and pulled out her Ipod for me to take pictures. She surprised us all by calmly going through with it, bravely wiping away the silent tears that involuntarily fell from her cheeks and smiling through them. Like her sister before her, she took her piercing hygiene routine seriously, proudly completing it more times per day than was necessary. She was so proud to have that bottle of solution and the glittering lobes….clear signs that she had made it through this rite of passage. Now I just hope this means I won’t have to chase her through the pediatricians’ office on flu shot day. Adriane Heine is the Adoption Specialist at Friendship House in Scranton.

school with10 guitars, a bass, drum kit and a keyboard, and the program was able to get started last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a slow start, three or four kids, but the ones we had were really interested,â&#x20AC;? said Deutsch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year some other teachers got involved and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been picking up interest. We have15 to 20 kids, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at the point where we have more kids than instruments, and now I need more instruments.â&#x20AC;? In addition to the interest from students at his own school, the program also sparked an interest at Kensington Urban Education. One of the students from Urban Education asked if that school could participate, and as a result, the Business High School now shares the instruments with Urban Education so they can have their own program run by Kristen Arivell, a teacher at Urban Education. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sharing the instruments with them, and ideally what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to do is have it so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough where we can each have our own, and the kids can take them home,â&#x20AC;? said Deutsch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing I was impressed with, when the kids took them home, even the ones who realized it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for them, they brought them back in the same condition.â&#x20AC;? Deutsch said he understands some of his problems could be solved if he kept the program limited to his school, but this gives more students a chance to participate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lot going on after school,â&#x20AC;? Deutsch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And, music is a great way to teach cooperation, communication, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also one

BY DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@theabingtonjournal.com

CLARKS SUMMIT - This weekend, the Abington Heights High School National Honor Society will be host what they hope will be the first of many Abington Heights Homecoming Carnivals. The event will take place from 5 - 8 p.m. at the Abington Heights High School track, Oct. 21, the day before the Comets football team takes on West Scranton High School in their Homecoming game. The carnival, which is student-run, is the brainchild of senior Sara Fulton, National Honor Society Public Relations Officer, who said it took some convincing to make the event happen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To get this initially approved I went to Mrs. (Pam) Murray (principal) probably two or three times with different ideas, and the last time I had a written proposal and that kind of did it for her,â&#x20AC;? said Fulton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The students having been working hard to organize their carnival idea,â&#x20AC;? said Murray. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The students directly involved have developed better organizational skills, communication skills and leadership skills with this endeavor. We are excited for the opportunity that the carnival will provide for the district.â&#x20AC;? Fulton said she, and fellow

Abington Heights High School graduate Justin Deutsch is currently collecting instruments for an after-school music program at Kensington Business High School in Philadelphia, where he teaches special education English.

of the few skills I know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m good enough at that I feel comfortable sharing with other people.â&#x20AC;? Deutsch has taken up a collection of used instruments. So far, he said the response has been good and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been able to collect a few items from friends and Philadelphia, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping for a similar showing of generosity from residents of his hometown. Deutsch is looking for donations of guitars, drums, keyboards, bass guitars and any other instruments people are willing to donate. Those interested in donating should not be deterred if they are in possession of instruments in questionable condition, as Deutsch, who was previously employed by Galluci Music in Scranton, does guitar repairs and is confident he can fix most instruments with problems. For more information, or to make a donation, call 570.563.2557. For more information on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little Kids Rockâ&#x20AC;? program, visit http://littlekidsrock.org/.

classmates Bill Hamersly, National Honor Society Secretary, Mihir Mulloth, National Honor Society Treasurer, Jordan Dinger, National Honor Society Vice President and Erika Sarno, National Honor Society President, have been helping plan the event, and some of the members spent a majority of their summer working on the project. The group quickly realized that they would need more time to pull together the event, originally planned for the beginning of school. So they moved the date to coincide with homecoming. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We realized it was a lot to plan, and we realized we hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t left ourselves a lot of time,â&#x20AC;? said Hamersly. Nobody has ever done anything like this here before, and then for five seniors planning it was a very big undertaking.â&#x20AC;? Changing the date gave the group more time to plan and benefit from the help of administration members, who have acted as advisors for the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been so helpful,â&#x20AC;? said Fulton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They come up with things that 17 and 18-year-olds just wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;? said Hamersly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The janitorial staff needs some kudos too, because they have been so helpful in setting this up, almost as much as the administration,â&#x20AC;? added Fulton.

The later date also gave the National Honor Society a chance to get the entire school involved. The group reached out to all the clubs in the school and offered them the opportunity to run a booth at the carnival. A majority of the clubs jumped at the chance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually not quite an event where every club gets to be involved. Usually maybe a few clubs here and there will get involvedâ&#x20AC;Ś but this is really cool because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just kind of blending everyone,â&#x20AC;? said Fulton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We kind of wanted this carnival to be about school unity, but even just making the carnival is kind of bringing everyone together, sophomores are working with seniors and doing stuff,â&#x20AC;? said Mulloth. Fellow students have also jumped in to lend a hand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of volunteers from NHS, but more surprisingly thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of people that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in NHS that just want to be a part of it,â&#x20AC;? said Mulloth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As well as underclassmen, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of underclassmen interest,â&#x20AC;? said Fulton. The interest from under-

classmen has allowed the group to feel positive about the possible continuation of the carnival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want it to be something that will be repeated in years to come, and obviously if they do repeat it next year theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know what an undertaking it is. But when you see underclassmen take such an interest in it that sort of gives us hope that it will be here next year too,â&#x20AC;? said Hamersly. The carnival will feature games for students of all ages, performances from the marching band, school chorus, cheerleaders and school bands, speeches from the football coaches and Superintendent Michael Mahon, as well as a bonfire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea was for this to be a district-wide event. We figured if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to put this on, why not open it up to the whole community. So students, kindergarten through 12th grade and their families are welcome,â&#x20AC;? said Hamersly. Food will be available through Curbside Grill the day of the event, and admission to the carnival is free. For more information, visit http://www.ahsd.org/.

concert. Mitchell said what she likes most about performing with Mostly Opera is the rare chance to sing for people who enjoy the same type of music. She said she also enjoys meeting and working with the other singers. “It’s a lot of fun, especially the show,” she said. “I mean, it’s Broadway.” Putting on a show like “The Best of Broadway” is not only a lot of fun, however, it is also a lot of work. Mitchell said the singers meet for practice every week for a month and a half before the show, as well as put in up to two hours a week of practice on their own at home. Mitchell said what she thinks people will enjoy most about the concert is “being able to listen to their favorite music live.” Tinsley said it is a fun concert with good food. “It’s lively music,” she said. “It will bring back memories, I think.” The event begins with Hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar at 6 p.m. and the dinner concert at 7 p.m. The cost is $55.

Who plays the character of Ariel in the new movie "Footloose"?

For all of you history buffs out there, Dr. Sheldon Spear will be back at the Dietrich tonight at 7 p.m. for a discussion on the Semi-Public Executions that took place in Tunkhannock and WilkesBarre from 1893-1909. Northeastern Pennsylvania had its share of spectacles, and Dr. Spear will examine the legal and social environment that surrounded them between 1893-1909. At first I was surprised to learn that so many folks took part in this grisly for of entertainment, but after giving it a second thought, I realized that we still have a fascination today with high profile cases such as the Casey Anthony and O.J. Simpson trials. Admission to the lecture is free. It should be an interesting evening of local history. Call us at 570.996.1500 for details. On a more pleasant note, the Dietrich will be hosting a Barbershop Vocal Clinic at the end of the month. Join the Endless Mountains Chorus on Saturdays, Oct. 29, Nov. 5 and 12 from 10:30 a.m. to noon for this three sessions series. Through the clinic you will see and hear internationally ranked quartet “Anything Goes” express themselves by singing four part harmony on the Dietrich stage, learn how to make four voices sound like five or six, sing a new song with your fellow attendees in four part harmony without reading music, receive a “learning CD” and music that will allow you to learn a song in four-part harmony without reading music, and learn the three elements of good quality singing and what you can do to become a great singer. This was a popular event last fall and we look forward to great participation this year as well. All that is needed to attend is a desire to learn. Admission is free. Call 570.836.8595 for details. Preregistration is not required. Another fun workshop that is coming up for adults is our Mosaic Design class with artist-in-residence Steve Colley. Come out on Wednesdays, Oct. 26, Nov. 2, 9, 16, 30, and Dec. 7 to learn the basics of creating mosaics from design to creating a mold. Admission is $90 and all materials are provided. When we offered this class a couple of years ago, it was amazing to see all of the beautiful projects that came out of it. It was so inspiring that we just had to bring the class back. I am really thinking about attending. For more information or to register, please call us at See Dietrich, Page 13

ple Cellist of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and Williams had the opportunity to play the same piece under composer John Williams’ direction, something Loh said very few musicians have had the chance to do. Loh said the extra guidance seems to be paying off. “I listened to her (Henkelman) today. She played through the piece…and she sounds beautiful. I couldn’t be happier with how she sounds,” said Loh. “The piece is very desolate, desperate, sad and she’s able to capture all of that.” The piece is just one of several by composer John Williams, whose work Loh said will fill up about 75 percent of the concert. In addition to Williams compositions, the program will also include works from Dan Elfman (Batman), Howard Shore (Lord of the Rings) and Klaus Badelt and Hans Zimmer (Pirates of the Caribbean). Loh said he predicts the concert will be a fun night for the audience, and to add to their enjoyment he is encouraging those in attendance to come in costume. The NEPA Philharmonic will perform “Harry Potter and Friends” at the Scranton Cultural Center in Scranton Oct. 21 at 8 p.m. and at the F.M.

He said, “Music takes people on a journey,” and he enjoys bringing people along with him on that journey. Besides playing at Camelot, Mercado said XpoZure will play at churches, benefits, festivals, weddings, and wherever a capable and experienced band might be needed in Clarks Summit and neighboring areas. “We love to play music,” he said. “We love what we do.”

The fall production of “The Boys Next Door” marks a milestone for professor and director Dr. Brian Maxwell. According to Maxwell, the show, which opens next week, is a comedy by Tom Griffin that also deals with serious issues such as compassion and mental handicaps. After nearly 25 years of leading two plays a year, he will celebrate 50 productions on the Baptist Bible College stage. Dr. Maxwell says he doesn’t feel much different than when he started, and he certainly doesn’t feel 25 years older. “I love what I do and I am grateful I get to do it,” Dr. Maxwell said. “Every year, God works on me and I am changing and growing. I’m a better person than I was 25 years ago, but I don’t feel any older.” He never envisioned spending that much time at the school, but doesn’t have any regrets. “It’s been a wonderful experience,” Maxwell said. “I love teaching, directing shows and working with the students. It’s a very positive environment.” Although he was initially hired to teach Speech Communications, he was soon asked to undertake the production of a play. “A Man Called Peter” was the first production he selected in 1987. Maxwell still enjoys teaching that the speech class to this day and introduced a communications program at the school in 2001. Students can choose between an emphasis on theatre or writing. “It’s my first chance to interact with the new freshman,” he said. “It’s a great experience.” Well-known titles have been joined by new and adapted stories over the years, bringing crowds of students, alumni, faculty, staff, and community

members to the Phelps Student Center twice annually, in the fall and spring. Productions include dramas, comedies, and musicals. They range from classical theatre like “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” to more contemporary dramas like “The Women of Lockerbie,” to lively musicals such as “The Sound of Music.” Participation in a play directed by Dr. Maxwell means hard work, late nights, and an experience students take with them long after the curtain falls on the their last performance. “Students will hopefully take away a deeper sense of themselves, more confidence, and a greater understanding of theatre and the power of the performed word,” Dr. Maxwell said. “I want my students to have a love for it, and I want them to understand that if God has made you to do something, when you do it - He smiles. “Theatre is really a corroborative effort. I like that I get to challenge and work with my students.” Among his most memorable productions was 2007’s “And Then They Came for Me: Remembering the World of Anne Frank” by James Still, a unique retelling of the holocaust experience by contemporaries of Anne Frank. Opening night featured a forum discussion with a holocaust survivor. During the summer of 2008, Dr. Maxwell was invited to present a workshop, “Teaching the Holocaust through Theatre and Collaboration,” at the 6th Annual International Conference on Holocaust Education at Yad Vashem in Israel. “I learned a lot from that experience,” he said. “Speaking at the conference and

spending two weeks in Israel, it was an extraordinary opportunity.” It may seem obvious to his students, or to anyone who knows Dr. Maxwell, that he was made to do what he is doing - directing, performing, guiding, and inspiring. But this niche that seems so natural now was not quickly found. It wasn’t until he was in his college years he was pointed in the direction of theatre and dramatic ministry. “I grew up in a small farming community, I am the first to graduate from college,” he said. “I remember as a kid I loved watching television, but I wasn’t confident enough to try out for any plays in school. I finally went to Cornerstone University and a friend of mine said ‘you should be taking speech and theatre.’ Then I had my first drama class, and that was it. “Over the years, his focus has shifted a little from the final product to the process and experience of the students involved. “I think I am learning to enjoy the process more,” he said. “I think I see it is more important. I am learning, too, that not everyone is going to like the plays I choose. A couple years ago I took a risk with “Women of Lockerbie,” but it was a play I wanted to investigate. I wanted to experience that.” Students who have participated in theatre at the college have had unique opportunities past graduation to continue with their passion for drama. Involvements include professional theater, acceptance into Ph.D. programs, and even starting a theater production company. Jonathan Strayer and his wife, Rachel, are 2003 graduates and are the founders of Ghostlight Productions, a

small theatre production company based in Clarks Summit. “My involvement with Dr. Maxwell changed everything,” Jonathan Strayer said. “God used him to add focus to my life. He encouraged me to go to graduate school, and he encouraged me to pursue theatre in service to God - and that is what I am doing.” Maxwell knew his former pupils were destined for big things. “I think it’s extraordinary,” he said of them starting their own company. “They are both gifted artists in their own right. I still stay in contact and work with them. In fact, I remain friends with many of my former students. According to Maxwell, the couple present a production of “Shakespeare in the Park” every summer and auditions are open to the public. They also are expected to start their first full season of production sometime next year. Hannah Sayre, a senior Communications major, plans to teach theatre. She wants to affect others in the same way she has been impacted by theatre at BBC. “After each production I have come away with something different,” she said. “I have learned it is safe to feel deeply and let people see it. I have also learned how to work as a team to produce something beautiful, working together and seeing how we are each gifted in a different area.” Whether through directly touching the lives of students, ministering to community members, or the extended impact of graduates, Maxwell and his work at the college have reached thousands of lives in the 25 years he has served.

Chiefs fall to Bucks

SPORTS

OCTOBER 19 TO OCTOBER 25, 2011

Comets vs. Comets

BY DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@theabingtonjournal.com

JERMYN- The Lakeland High School football team made visiting team Dunmore work to stay undefeated this past Saturday, Oct.15. The Bucks got on the scoreboard early, in their 19-6 victory over the Chiefs, scoring on their first possession, two minutes into the first quarter for a 7-0 lead. Austin Seamon, who finished the game over 200 yards rushing, made it into the end zone for Dunmore on a 14-yard run. Seamon came up with 51 of his yards, on three carries, during the Buck’s first possession. “I feel incredible, it’s the first time I ever beat Lakeland in my career, and I really owe it to my blockers tonight,” said Seamon. “We knew how tough of a team they were, we did a lot of film studies on them.” The Chiefs showed that toughness on their next possession, answering right back, and putting together a 11-play, 60 yard scoring drive that ended with oneyard Ryan Nichols touchdown run. On defense, Lakeland kept Dunmore from scoring again during the first half. Lakeland, trailing 7-6, looked poised to steal the lead, moving the ball to the Dunmore’s 2-yard line. Quarterback Kyle Kiehart handed the ball off to J.J. Rojenches on fourth and goal, but Dunmore stopped him and the Chiefs turned the ball over on the oneyard line. After forcing Dunmore to punt on their following possession, the Chiefs found themselves in the red zone again, but couldn’t make it into the end zone, turning the ball over on downs on the Buck’s 10-yard line. Dunmore extended their lead to 13-6 in the third quarter, scoring on a 1-yard Jordan Dempsey quarterback keeper that capped off a 13-play, 75-yard scoring drive. Forcing the Chiefs to punt on their following possession, Dempsey found his way to the end zone again, on the Bucks following possession, on a 2-yard run to give the team a 19-6 lead they held on to. The now 4-3 Chiefs will try and bounce back from the loss this Friday when they take travel to take on Honesdale High School.

Nothing getting by AHHS goalie BY JOE BARESS Abington Journal Correspondent

After losing in the Class AAA district championship game last season, the Abington HeightsHigh School soccer team is hungry for another chance at the district title. With senior goalie Connor Pacyna in front of the net, the Comets have an opportunity to reach their goals. “I feel that we have a solid chance at winning the district championship,” said Pacyna. Abington Heights coach Steve Klingman attributed a lot of the team’s success to Pacyna. “He’s a smart keeper who knows the position,” Klingman said. “He comes up with big saves when we need them.” Pacyna lives with his parents Mari and Gary Pacyna in Clarks Summit. He started playing soccer when he was 5 and played with most of the current high school teammates since age seven. He did not play goalie until age nine. When Pacyna played for a travel team, the Abington Ambush, his teammate suffered heat exhaustion and had to leave the game. “The coach asked if anyone wanted to play goalie so I raised my hand,” Pacyna said. “I’ve loved it ever since.” Pacyna said he enjoys the contact and physical play of the goalie position. “He has good hands and he’s fearSee Goalie, Page 2

All Abington match decides doubles champs By Tom Robinson Sports Correspondent

CLARKS SUMMIT – Tyra Abdalla and Allie Pusateri played the roles of bracket busters for two days in the District 2-4 Class AAA girls’ tennis doubles tournament. Their Abington Heights High School teammates, Courtney Ostrowski and Alexa Abdalla, however, eventually came away with the gold medals Oct. 12 at the Birchwood Racquet Club. The sixth-seeded team of Tyra Abdalla and Pusateri knocked off the tournament’s third and second seeds before winning the first set from the top seeds in the final. Ostrowski and Alexa Abdalla recovered for a 6-7 (4-7), 6-1, 6-1 victory. “They were playing amaz-

ing,” Alexa Abdalla said. “They were hitting some shots we’ve never seen before. “They deserved to win that first set.” Ostrowski and Alexa Abdalla had lost just six games in six sets while advancing to the finals. They faced familiar players when the finals turned into an all-Abington Heights match for the second straight year. “We’re used to it because in practice, we always play each other,” said Ostrowski, who was part of the championship doubles team for the second straight year. “When it comes down to a competitive thing, it’s kind of tough.” Tyra Abdalla, Alexa’s sister,

and Pusateri started Wednesday with their second straight upset. They beat second-seeded Annette Deutsch and Sarah Lehman of Wallenpaupack, 6-4, 6-4. Ostrowski and Alexa Abdalla, who started Wednesday’s action by breezing past Maggie Manchester and Trisha Synoracki of Williamsport, 6-1, 6-0, will play in the state doubles tournament Nov. 4-5 in Hershey.

The left-hander is part of a large group from District 2 that will be involved in the championships Oct. 24-25 at Heritage Hills Golf Resort in York. Both PIAA East Regional boys’ championships were won by District 2 entries. North Pocono took the team title with a 307, one stroke ahead of Manheim Township, the other team to advance.

The duo combined to rush for 163 yards on 25 carries with Febbo going over the 100-yard mark with 111 yards. All told, Old Forge rushed for a season-high 415 yards on the night – a credit to its quickly developing line of Joey Bruno, Paul Papi, Tyler Clark, Anthony Trotta and Ryan Paulish. The Blue Devils defense continued to get it done, stopping the Lions on three plays after Rosiak and Laytos combined for 12 yards to pick up Trail’s first, first down of the game. Then on third-and-7, Carey electrified the crowd.

RANSOM TWP. - This month, Lackawanna Trail School District’s Colin Domnick tasted victory for the second time on the state level, winning the 12-year-old American Bicycle Association (ABA) Pennsylvania State Championship at Cedar BMX in Ransom. The feeling of winning the title was not anything new for Domnick, who won the 11-year-old ABA State Championship last year. But even though it was familiar, he said victory tasted just as sweet. “It feels really good, I was really excited. I worked really hard for it,” said Domnick. Racers accumulate points all season, from April to November, to determine who is champion. Domnick finished the year with 56 points at the ABA State Championship races, held at Cedar BMX the weekend of Oct. 1 and 2, to end the year on top of his competition. Domnick said he was confident coming into the year that he could win the title again, and he put in the work necessary to repeat. In addition to racing twice a week on Thursdays and Saturdays at Cedar BMX, he said he also did a lot of push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups and sprints on his bike on a dirt road behind his house in East Benton to get ready for the season and defend his title. The now two-time state champion credited the hard work and a love for the sport with his success. Domnick began racing four years ago, after receiving a BMX bike for his birthday. The bike came with a one-day free membership to Cedar BMX, so he brought his birthday present to the track and almost instantly fell in love with the sport. “I love the intensity of it. It’s the fastest pace sport I’ve ever done. I used to play baseball, basketball and football, but I quit those other sports for racing,” said Domnick. “All the action of BMX took over.”

Lady Comets sweep Classics

Colin Domnick, shown above, won the 12-year-old American Bicycle Association (ABA) Pennsylvania State Championship

It was that action and excitement that helped Domnick stick with it when he first started, and was just learning the sport. He also credited an abundance of encouragement and support from those around him as to why he stuck with it. “Personally, I don’t think I was very good when I first started,” said Domnick. “My parents (Kim and Nicholas Domnick) thought I had potential, and encouraged me to keep with it. It worked out. And, the older kids at the track helped me a lot too.” Today Domnick rides a custom made G.H.P. (Greg Hill Products) bike, which was designed by Domnick and his father, and assembled by Dave Jons from Cedar Bike Shops in Dickson City and Scranton, also one of the track sponsors. As the season wraps up, Domnick will be putting his bike away soon for a few months and taking out his snowboard, which he said he enjoys doing during the break in the season. And, he assures that that is just a break, as he plans to continue to compete again next year, and beyond, with his ultimate goal to participate in the Olympics. Cedar BMX is located at 1826 Red Barn Village Rd., Clarks Summit. For more information, call 570.586.1146, or visit http://cedarbmxpark.com/.

Quinn Karam accounted for 65 yards on 17 carries for the Comets.
