FACTORYVILLE- For Factoryville Borough Council President Chuck Wrobel it’s all about his council making things happen. “I can not say I have any success stories because I have to give credit to my council. My main focus as president is to run the meetings and keep the peace. I wouldn’t attempt to take credit because we have so many in counChuck Wrobel cil that deserve it,� Wrobel said.

Some of those projects Wrobel and his council have worked on include the city street project where they reconstructed all the sidewalks. Prior to that Wrobel claims a big success story involves seeing the borough’s sewer plant totally revamped because of problems. “We probably have the area’s most updated sewer plant processing.

We’re one of the first to comply with regulations and finished the upgrade and sewering the whole town. The whole borough is hooked up to sewers,�

Wrobel explained.

Other areas the president and his council have worked on include what Wrobel said is tremendous work on their soccer park. “It’s beautiful,� Wrobel said, “and it’s a project that started from the borough and we formed a park authority.

Factoryville is just a beautiful community to live in, and I’m proud of it.�

Future projects include a redevelopment of downtown which is currently only a few

With the Nov. 8 day at the polls 13 days away, the time for research and careful consideration is upon the voting population. Candidates for area political races were invited to share with readers their stance on concerns facing the people they hope to represent, along with a bit of background about themselves and their past service.

ABINGTON HEIGHTS SCHOOL BOARD At Large Tom Brogan Tom Brogan said he cares about the students. He said that’s what led him to teaching, and that’s what led him to run for a position on the Abington Heights School Board.

Brogan taught eighth-grade European history and later American civics at Abington Heights Middle School for 30 years.

Now retired, he said he decided to get into the race in late February after it was reported the school board was considering cutting several programs, including transitional first grade and computer education in the elementary school, eliminating the librarians in the high school and middle school, Latin class and the emotional support class at the high school.

All of those programs were eventually cut, and Brogan said if elected he would try and reinstate some of them.

Brogan added that he feels the years he spent as an educator will be an asset to the school board, as he will be able to offer a different perspective. “I think the board often is making decisions without knowing the implications of what those decisions are. I’ve been a teacher for 35 years, I know what programs work, what changes work. I know that the teachers should always be involved and too often they are

totally ignored ,� said Brogan.

If elected, Brogan said he would work to open communication with everyone: teachers, taxpayers, students and would make it a point to visit the schools.

Michael Fleming As a husband and father of two children currently enrolled in the Abington Heights School District, Michael Fleming applauded the district for being able to avoid a tax increase last year, but said he feels this is unsustainable. He is hoping that with experience he earned as a Director of Transportation and Logistics at Sanofi Pasteur, and as a volunteer with organizations like Our Lady of the Snows Parish Council, he will be able to help the board with some tough decisions he anticipates on the horizon. “I think we’ve got to go in and really scrutinize the budget and see where we can make cuts, or find alternative funding‌and be creative,â€? said Fleming.

Fleming said part of the process for this creative thinking would be to open up the lines of communication and try and hear from as many people as possible.

Fleming added that if elected he will also be interested in the actual physical school buildings, and their condition, and will be making a point of visiting the locations regularly.

Frank Santoriello Frank Santoriello is the only candidate on the ballot currently serving on the Abington Heights School Board. If reelected Santoriello brings with him more than four years experience.

During his time on the board, Santoriello said he has had the opportunity to help keep the See Vote, Page 10

Editor Abington faces an important decision in the upcoming election. Despite receiving $420,000 of unanticipated state funds, the current Board eliminated the transitional first grade program, the elementary computer education program, the high school Latin program and transformed the high school library into a student lounge.

In response to these devastating cuts, my opponents have focused on attacking me rather than proposing solutions. While mudslinging may be the rule in politics, we cannot afford political gamesmanship when our children’s education is at stake. Instead, we must work together towards restoring these vital academic programs.

My opponents continually attack me for being an educator. It’s true – I have devoted my life to educating our children. As an educator, I was a union member. But to suggest that I would place the interests of a union over the interests of our children is reprehensible

and offensive. Actions do speak louder than words and I am confident that if any of my former students are contacted, they will confirm that I have always put my students first and was someone whom they could trust.

My opponents have suggested that if elected, I would use my position on the Board to grant myself additional retirement benefits. My retirement benefits are set in contract and I would be legally prohibited from altering them.

The only consequence of my being elected to the Board would be that a single board member would have training and experience as an educator.

In closing, this election is about what is best for our children and the taxpayers.

The best way to serve our children and the taxpayers is to maintain Abington’s reputation for academic excellence in a fiscally responsible way.

Let’s keep Abington proud.

Vote Tom Brogan for School Board Director at Large.

Editor: In a Pennsylvania Autumn, hearing is believing that what you are seeing is real. The sounds of words singing off your lips like well -written lyric:“Did you see that?” “Can you believe this?”“What magnificent colors!” boggles the imagination. The array of colors can be seen in Pennsylvania alone, the greatest diversity of trees than any other state in the Union. They wash and swash all over the roadsides and mountain regions, inviting observers to behold its grandeur. The East coast’s Grand Canyon: to behold it is to behold Creation itself, for every emotion you are capable of feeling is grasped in an instant, all life you will ever know in front of

you.

Yes this is a rainbow you can walk on, its tapestry a pot of gold. As the winds pick up and the leaves bow down, they invite our ovation, before they descend to the plains, the streets and the walkways.

That’s it. To walk amongst these beauties is to hear them at their best, their creaking voice, like an old Blues song.

At night, yes, that’s the best.

So haunting a sound you’d think Halloween was invented for it. And that’s our happy ending, the promise of our new hope, the promise of our new year, the promise of our hearing these leaves singing that the world is a more beautiful place by our being here.

Lions ‘haunt’ at park

ANTICIPATING Continued from Page 1

we were driving around, we got lost. Not only did we get lost, but Richie’s car began to get very low on gas. We began to panic because we were lost in total darkness on these dirt roads, and we were running out of gas. We were afraid to travel too far because the more we traveled, the lower the gas supply was getting. There were no cell phones in those days, and no way to get in touch with anyone. It was a fairly clear night and there was a three-quarter moon, so we could see once our eyes adjusted to the light.

There were no lights. There were no stop signs. There were no reflectors of any kind.”

In fact, the moonlight was the only source of light as the afternoon faded to evening out in the Pine Barrens, a naturally preserved area.

“We got out of the car just to stretch our legs, and we were all laughing about being in the dark. But in the back of our minds, we were thinking, ‘Our parents are going to give us hell…’ There was nothing but pine trees around. I was getting testy with my friend…and I was saying, ‘I don’t think this was a good idea.’

But, so help me God, with a deep blackness, with only the light from the moon, I looked down at the ground and there, right at the intersection of these two dirt roads in the middle of nowhere, were the footprints of the Jersey Devil!”

The discovery brought on a hard laughter and according to Moyer, the fright was manifested in the darkness, the calmness and the hopelessness of their situation. It was only to be resolved once they saw the footprints of the Jersey Devil at that intersection.

“We laughed so hard that it uplifted our spirits, and we got back in the car and eventually found our way out.

Someone must have made a devil’s paw or hoof with a three-pronged tamping device and stamped the footprints at that intersection. What are the odds that we would stop in total darkness at that particular intersection during the Halloween season and find those footprints?”

Moyer resides in Clarks Summit and is a retired accountant. He is a sculptor and woodcarver who has exhibited in several one-man exhibits and published two books with two in the works. However, during the Halloween season he reverts to a “state of infantile regression.”

He said, “Like a child, I actually prolong the Halloween date into an entire season. I enjoy Halloween for a month like a child because I’m retired and I have abundant amounts of free time to carve pumpkins and sculpt masterpieces in wood and read. I have a leather-bound version of Edgar Allen Poe and during the Halloween season, without fail, first I read “The Raven” and then “Annabelle Lee.” They get me warmed up and afterward I begin to read the short stories.

He (Poe) is very literary but somewhat verbose and even pretentious writer. I like Poe because at a time when 80 to 90 percent of America was illiterate back in the mid-1800s, he was a Renaissance man and a pretty good mathematician…He’s innovative. He was the innovator for the modern detective story and truly great horror movie…”

Horror provides Moyer with “a childish sense of enjoyment.”

“It’s like being on a rollercoaster. The reason I think most adults like terror is because it’s exhilarating. When you’re afraid, you feel alive.

They like that quick rush of exhilaration.”

ton Road in Waverly during the coming week, across from the Waverly Community House, will find an array of clowns.

Owner, Val Calpin said, “This year I don’t know how or why, but Jerry (Calpin) said, ‘You know what would be funny: Clowns for Halloween.’ I think they’re creepy; Jerry thinks they’re creepy and Riley (their daughter) hates them. We tried not to do the decorations so they’re scary to kids, so it was difficult to find Halloween masks that weren’t really mean clowns. We

just thought it was funny because you either love them (clowns) or hate them. We started buying masks as we found them and then he (Jerry) started buying costumes.” Jerry Calpin made the bodies out of PVC pipes.

Last year, their theme was crows and another year big, black, fuzzy spiders covered their home.

“We don’t really plan it.

Something will strike us when we’re out. The clowns took a while to construct but we worked together as a team.”

S. ABINGTON TWP. - Pumpkin painting, storytelling, a haunted walk and tasty Halloween treats await children10 and younger at the South Abington Park Oct. 30 from 6 -8 p.m.

The South Abington Lions Club is hosting “Halloween in the Park,” a free Halloween party for the community.

Frank Tunis, Club President, said the idea for the event came to him one evening while he was walking in the park, and he realized it would be a great place for the youngsters to have some safe Halloween fun. Roger Wallace, Club Treasurer, said the evening will include a short “Haunted Hallow” walk. . Other activities and refreshments will be available in the park pavilion, and participants are encouraged to arrive in costume with goodie bags, cameras and flashlights.

Tunis said Eckel’s Farm donated a truckload of pumpkins for the children to paint, which provides an example of how the Lions Club works. “The local community is always there for us,” Tunis said.

And the Lions club is there for the community, not only with events such as the Christmas, Easter and Halloween parties for the children, but with programs it participates in throughout the year.Another way the club gives back is through food baskets handed out around Thanksgiving to families in need. Wallace said the club doesn’t always know, however, where those needs exist. Anyone with suggestions can contact him at 570.319.1324.

Wallace said the majority of funding for the club comes from two primary sources: annual spring and fall flea markets and White Cane Day, where they collect donations that enable them to help people who are blind or visually impaired. Tunis said the club is always looking for new members, both men and women. He said the best place to start is by coming to club meetings, which occur the first Tuesday of every month at 6 p.m. at the Chinchilla Hose Company.

He said anyone interested can talk to members, and he is available at 570.903.3137. Or, information is online at southabingtonlionsclub.org.

Wallace said the spirit of the club is based on a desire to help people, and that is what it asks of its members. “What we want them to bring is their motivation to help,” said Wallace.

Focusing on the details of Fall Fun From pumpkin carving to face painting and trick-ortreating to scarecrow making, plenty of events were offered for the family at the Abington Business and Professional Association’s Fall Fun in the Abingtons Oct. 22.

The Abington Business and Professional Association hosted the first Fall

Shining a light on lung cancer

BY DON MCGLYNN Abington Journal Reporter

SCRANTON - November marks the beginning of Lung Cancer Awareness Month, and this year Marywood University will begin the month by offering support and debunking myths surrounding the disease.

The university will host “Shine a Light on Lung Cancer,” a lung cancer awareness vigil that will take place in the Latour Room Nov. 1, at 7:30 p.m.

“We’re part of a national vigil night. Currently, I think, there’s 62 registered vigils going on across the country, and there’s one in Afghanistan and one in Australia,” explained Marywood University Program Director of the Physician Assistant Program, Karen E. Arscott, D.O., M.Sc., AOBNMM. Last year was the first time Marywood participated, with students and community members walking from the campus to Courthouse Square in downtown Scranton.

Last year’s group was enthusiastic, but poor weather conditions kept many from participating. That’s why this year they have decided to move the vigil indoors.

“We want it to be available to a lot more people,” said Arscott. “If you’re outside in the cold, a certain population can’t make it in that weather.”

Arscott already knows a few new members who will be joining the vigil this year. The students and faculty from The Commonwealth Medical College are going to be in attendance.

In addition to giving more people a chance to take part, Arscott said that, “having it inside we are able to do more things, too.”

This year’s vigil will feature a performance by the Christian rock band Forgiven, video/ photo slideshow of individuals touched by lung cancer, guest speakers, light refreshments, as well as support and information about lung cancer.

Arscott, a lung cancer survivor, got Marywood involved in the vigil last year. The physician, who never smoked, said

buildings. Wrobel said council has worked with the fire department to purchase land on the edge of town to hopefully get grants for the redevelopment.

And another big project is storm water, a state mandated project that according to Wrobel is a big project for a little town. “We have some strong people working on it. Every council person – we all work together as a team. I can’t express that enough,” Wrobel said.

Wrobel’s hopes for the future include a vision to see the borough building restored. It’s an old historical building that he feels in need of attention. “It’s a beautiful little country community and the people pull together when we have to, “Wrobel said.

“And two of the driving forces are the men’s and women’s civic leagues.” Wrobel couldn’t stress enough how tremendous they have been over the years. “I feel a lot of pride living in Factoryville. I can’t say enough about the community.”

The irony for Wrobel is that, as a child, he used to drive in a poultry truck through Factoryville and claims it’s fate. He’d never dreamed that one day he would be living there. “In 1965, I wound up living in Factoryville and built my home there,” said Wrobel.

Wrobel is a graduate of Dickson City High School. He attended Lackawanna College for

finding out she had the disease was something of a surprise, but she explained that it’s not uncommon for a nonsmoker to get lung cancer.

“I’m a never-smoker, and I’m the face of lung cancer in this day and age, no risk factors whatsoever,” said Arscott.

“Twenty percent of all lung cancers now are never-smokers.”

“Only 20 percent of those with lung cancer are current smokers and 60 percent are people who smoked in the past but quit.”

Arscott said the purpose of this vigil is to create more awareness in the community, and shed some light on the truth of lung cancer that she feels is necessary.

“There’s this stigma attached to (lung cancer), so it’s the least funded of all killer cancers. It gets the least federal money, the least research, because everyone just has this attitude about it. And yet it kills more people than the next four cancers combined, that’s breast, colon, prostate and pancreatic. You take all the people who die of those four cancers and combine them and lung cancer kills more than that, and yet lung cancer gets the least funding,” said Arscott.

In addition to educating, Arscott, a member of the Lung Cancer Alliance also raises money for lung cancer research. She’ll be running the Philadelphia Marathon Nov. 20, as a part of Team Lung Love.

Donations will be taken at the vigil, but Arscott said the main purpose of the night is more to provide information and support.

Registration for the event is appreciated, but not required.

Those who register for the vigil will be eligible to win a trip to Washington D.C. to take part in the lung cancer forum in 2012.

DIVAS night out

BY ANDY DAVIS Abington Journal Correspondent

Women in the Abingtons can officially start planning a night out .

The Nichols Village Hotel and Spa, located in Clarks Summit, is preparing to host the first annual “Diva Night Out in the Abingtons” Nov. 2, from 5:30 - 8:30 p.m. The Abington Business and Professional Association (ABPA) is responsible for putting together a night that will consist of food, desserts, a cash bar, minipampering stations, a fashion show, a silent auction, entertainment and vendors.

Mary Beth Pasqualicchio, a board member

for the association and also a Diva Night committee member, was one of the main people helping design the event. She said an event like Diva Night fits in perfectly with what the association is all about.

“The ABPA is big on serving the community.

Our main goal when we were creating the idea for this event was to just do something fun for the community and I think we came up with something that will be fun for women of all ages,” she said.

This event would not be possible without the help of Nichols Village, according to Pasqualicchio.

“When I was contacted, plans for an event like Diva Night were well

underway and I was told they were looking for a location to host it. It just made sense for us to have the event at our place,” said Matt Capwell general manager at Nichols Village.

“We even created a “tickled pink drink” for the event that people can enjoy,” Capwell said.

Tickets are priced at $20 in advance and $25 at the door. For details on the event, purchasing tickets, acquiring a vendor space, or sponsoring , call 570.587.0505. For information on joining the Abington Business and Professional Association, visit www.TheAbingtons.orgor call 570.587.9045.

RANSOM TWP. - John Cuck, board member of the Abington Little League, addressed the Ransom Township Board of Supervisors at their regular meeting Oct. 3, asking them to consider funding for the Little League.

Cock pointed out to the board members that while many other Little Leagues are funded by their local governments and play on fields constructed and maintained by the towns, the Abington Little League, until it started receiving funding from South Abington Township and the Clarks Green Borough this past spring, has received no contributions from local municipalities.

He said over $420,000 still remains of the original $710,000 mortgage taken out by the Abington Little League for the purchase and construction of the Ackerly Field Complex in 1998.

A handout Cuck gave the supervisors stated that, “All Abington Little League funds are currently derived from player registration fees, concession stand receipts, sign and team sponsorships, fund raising efforts and the recent contributions of South Abington Township and Clarks Green Borough.”

“The Abington Little League,” Cuck said, “needs the support of the local governments.”

He said 51 out of the 836 children registered this year were from Ransom Township, and he hopes the municipality will consider financial support this coming year.

Part of a community

BY BEN FREDA Abington Journal Correspondent

FACTORYVILLE - During their first semester at Lackawanna Trail Elementary Center, students got to see firsthand what it’s like to be part of a community. They learned about many different community-oriented jobs from a visit by a mayor and fire companies and a tour through Factoryville.

On Sept. 28, Mayor Jim Gray of Dalton visited and talked with Dana Naylor’s 2nd grade class.

The students asked him questions about his job including: how he got elected; skills a mayor needs to have; how he helps the community become a better place; the biggest problem he encountered as mayor and what he likes most about his job.

Gray discussed his role as mayor, his daily schedule and his interaction with the Dalton Police Department. He also told them how they can play an important role in the community- even at a young age.

“I learned that the mayor has a very important job and maybe someday I’d like to be one,” said student Mason Zajac.

On Oct. 5, the fire companies of Factoryville, Fleetville, Nicholson and Dalton visited all of the classes for Fire Safety Week. Firefighter Russell Gow taught the students about fire equipment, fire safety and a firefighter’s role. The students were given the opportunity to

Pink treats at ACA

CLARKS GREEN- Students at Abington Christian Academy came to school dressed down in pink Oct. 21 for a Breast Cancer Awareness Day organized by the seventh and eighth grade classes. During lunch period, they were invited to purchase pink treats and have their hair “pinked” for a dollar donation each to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Eighth grade student Randi Fenton said she first had the idea for the Pink Day when she read on the Internet about another school doing a similar event. She then brought the idea to the administration and her classmates, who helped make it happen.

School Administrator Jan Wells said the students had only a week to organize the event, and did a great job.

“I’m really proud of Randi,” she said. The students baked

and bought all of the treats for the sale, which included everything from pink cookies and cupcakes to Manning’s Ice Cream.

Sharon Arendt, of Sharon’s Salon in Scott Township, volunteered to do all of the hair “pinking,” with the help of her son, T.J., an eighth grade student at the school.

Some of the school staff also had their hair “pinked,” to the amusement of the younger students.

tour an ambulance.

On Oct. 13, Naylor’s class visited local businesses in the community of Factoryville. The students talked with employees of the U.S. Post Office, People’s Bank, Old Joe’s Service Center and Ray’s Shur-Save Market.

“On the tour, we focused on simple yet important rules like crossing the street on the crosswalk, walking on the sidewalks, no parking signs, speed limits, traffic lights, and no talking to strangers,” said Naylor.

Students also planted bulbs across from Ray’s Shur-Save Market under the direction of Liz Ratchford, member of the Factoryville Shade Tree Commission. “We discussed the importance of helping make our local community beautiful,

keeping it clean, and taking care of the community we live in,” said Naylor.

“It was really fun to plant the bulbs and it felt good to make our community a more beautiful place,” said student Kip Oulton.

The class will continue to learn about community when a State Trooper visits.

“As we learn about people who don’t get paid, or volunteers, in our community, I’d like to volunteer more,” said student Faith Dewey. “By having community members visit the classroom, students can get a better idea of what they might want to be someday and how they can be future leaders in our community.”

Are luxury automakers pulling back on standard features?

BY HAN COBLONSKI Luxury is disappearing from the luxury car. At least, based on one

of the most telling factors—the features that come standard on luxury models—it would appear to be the case.

In the past, luxury cars pulled no stops, pouring luxury into every detail, inside and out.

Compared to those luxury cars of yesteryear (even yesterday), today’s standard-feature list often seems downright draconian.

Looking at a cross-section of top sellers, it’s immediately apparent how many basic “luxury” features no longer come with the base model of some car brands. Instead, they

turn up as costly additional “Options” for which the consumer must pay extra. Some models charge extra for leather seat trim.

Some make you pay extra for wood detailing or a sunroof. One popular model even makes you pay more (quite a bit more) to have an automatic transmission.

Still another charges extra for industry-standard 17-inch wheels.

All told, these “extras” can add up to thousands of dollars consumers never expected to pay. More than that, it begs the question whether a base model luxury car that does Please turn to page C9

district’s budget intact in the face of cuts. And, with the district anticipating more cuts from the state in the 2012-13 school year and the current contract negotiations already in progress with the teachers, he feels this experience will be a great benefit.

“I think it puts me in a unique position to help the district with the challenges they face,” said Santoriello.

“It takes a while for someone to get up to speed in terms of how the district is run.”

If re-elected, Santoriello said his main focus will be making sure that in spite of cuts the Abington School District will continue to provide the same quality of education it has in the past.

“We have to maintain the quality of education for the kids.

The kids are our product, and we have to put out a good product, and have done that,” said Santoriello.

Madensky CLARKS GREEN BOROUGH COUNCIL Marnie O’Dea Palmer Marnie O’Dea Palmer, a resident of Clarks Green Borough, was elected three times and served on Clarks Green Council from January 1996 through December 31, 2008. In December 2010, she was appointed to fill a vacancy and is looking to be re-elected.

If elected she said she will promote respect and tolerance among council members in an effort to build consensus on important issues that affect Clarks Green taxpayers, as well as encourage predominantly new officials to pursue municipal training classes.

Keith Williams Keith Williams is a lifelong resident of the borough . This marks his first time seeking public office.

He is a Community Organizer for the Northeast Pennsylvania Center for Independent Living, a non-profit organization serving people with disabilities in 16 counties. His responsibilities include working with county, state and federal legislators to improve communities. He also co-chaired governor-appointed entities responsible for developing plans to administer human services throughout the Commonwealth.

He said he views the most pressing concern facing area residents as the increased costs of providing quality services such as sewage treatment, refuse and recycling, properly maintained roads. And, his goal is to accomplish these essential services in a fiscally sound manner that does not burden taxpayers.

Lynne Earley Lynne Earley is seeking a second term on Clarks Green Borough Council.

Between January 1997 and December 2009 she provided clerical support to the Clarks Green Shade Tree Committee.

“During this time we received state and federal grants exceeding $60,000.”

The Clarks Green resident said if re-elected she hopes to return the refuse and recycling contract back to the budget so that this municipal services could once again be paid through property taxes rather than the current billing system that has been “so troublesome and confusing for residents.”

Barry C. Phillips If elected Barry Phillips said he hopes to provide sound decision making on a Council that some believe have demonstrated careless decision making in the past.

He said he said his biggest concern is that the Joint Sewer Authority with South Abington and Clarks Summit will result in financial increases in the next couple years. “I hope to join council to serve in sound, forward -thinking decision making

Uram noted that he has no major concerns for the Lakeland School District in the future, “I truly feel that the Lakeland School District is in great shape for the future and I am so proud of everyone who graduates here from the Lakeland School District.

Keystone Players unite for ‘BOOK of DAYS’

BY ROBERT TOMKAVAGE rtomkavage@theabingtonjournal.com

T

he Keystone Players will perform “Book of Days,” by Lanford Wilson, Oct. 28 and 29 at 7:30 p.m. and Oct. 30 at 2 p.m. in Brooks Theatre at Keystone College.

Set in the heart of “Tornado Alley,” the play presents a quiet, conservative American town that is about to be turned upside down.

When a prominent member of the community dies, Ruth Hoch (played by Kelly Langan) suspects murder. Recently cast as Joan of Arc in a community theatre production of George Bernard Shaw’s “St. Joan” by a director (played by Brandon Doughty), Ruth uses Joan’s determination and courage to uncover the truth. With the support of her husband, Len, (played

by Joseph Croft) and mother-inlaw, Martha, (played by Emily Potter) Ruth battles the town minister (played by Steve Keating)

and a young politician (played by TJ Errigo) to get answers. What she learns, however, is that stirring things up in a small town can be almost as destructive as the winds of a tornado.

According to Jane Honchell, Director of Theatre at Keystone College, the form of presentation makes this play unique.

“It’s so intense, almost cinematic,” she said. “It’s very unusual, but I think some people will be able to relate to the story.”

Pulitzer prize-winning playwright Wilson paints the changes that happen in a close-knit community with dark humor and serious insight. The cast of the play also represents a community, in which seasoned Keystone Players’ veterans are working with talented newcomers to create a dynamic ensemble.

This past week, I visited the Coming Up Taller website online. This organization presents National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Awards annually to outstanding arts and humanities programs that further young people’s intellectual and creative development.

As I was scrolling through their site, I came across a list of reasons as to why the arts are so beneficial to children in school and I wanted to share the list with you. It included: “Art education helps make well rounded students. Art is a great stress reliever for children. The many art forms give children a sense of worth. Art in schools help students develop independent thinking and problem solving skills. Art in schools helps children develop communication skills and creative expression. Art helps children relate better to the outside world.”

After reading through the list, I had to agree. The arts are so beneficial to children.

Through my position at the Wyoming County Cultural Center/Dietrich Theater, I have been able to witness numerous children flourish over the years through art classes at the Dietrich. From watching teens create claymation movies and digital films with art and technology in Digital Arts Camps, to seeing children gain confidence through our theatre arts classes, to observing children’s creativity and problem solving skills develop in mixed media classes with artists-in-residence Amy and Steve Colley.

One of my favorite class series for children that helps develop creative thinking is Trash to Treasures. In these classes, Amy and Steve teach students how to turn a pile of “junk” into artistic treasure.

Students create fascinating 3-D collages with recyclables or household items and end up with unique pieces of work such as a flower made out of plastic bottles, or a robot with a sock for a tongue, or a little race car with wheels made from jar lids.

Amy and Steve have offered this popular class in the past to all ages and will again this November. Students ages five through eight years old can take Trash to Treasures on Fridays, November 11, 18, December 2 and 9 from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Young at Art: Trash to Treasures for Preschoolers will be presented on Thursdays, November 10, 17, December 1 and 8 from 10 to 10:45 a.m. And Trash to Treasures Together for young artists ages three and four year See Dietrich , Page 12

Join as organist Kevin O’Malia improvises the soundtrack on the pipe organ at First Presbyterian.

O’Malia, a native of northeastern Pa., holds Bachelor and Master of Music degrees in church music, with honors, from Westminster Choir College, the school of music of Rider University.

The Poets are shown above presenting an award to Cindy Kausmeyer and James Verano of Abington Travel.

Poetry in motion

BY ALEXA CIAGLIA Abington Journal Correspondent

CLARKS SUMMIT There was a different type of poetry at the Clarks Summit Ramada Wednesday, Oct. 19.

The Poets Party at the Sea is on the agenda for some area residents.

Cindy Kausmeyer, a travel consultant at Abington Travel, organized a cruise with the popular group the Poets from Nov. 10 to 20 on the Explorer of the Seas, from Royal Caribbean.

The number of passengers tripled since last year, with 318 people attending the cruise this year.

“We want to encourage as many people as possible and anyone who wants to join can just call,” Kausmeyer said.

And just a reminder, the Endless Mountains Chorus will be presenting a Barbershop Vocal Clinic at the DieContinued from Page 11 trich starting this Saturday.

Call sing a new song with your the Dietrich at 570.996.1500 fellow attendees in four part for details or to register.

DIETRICH

The package includes three exclusive performances by the Poets, Denise Reichwein Lees, a Royal Caribbean consultant, said.

“If you’re not with the Poets, you don’t get to see them perform,” Reichwein Lees said.

The cruise features a Caribbean itinerary with stops in St. Thomas, St. Maarten, San Juan and Labadee.

When docked, Explorer of the Seas acts like a hotel for the passengers, Reichwein Lees said.

“They can come and go as they please.

They can explore the islands or stay onboard the ship – it’s completely up to them,” Reichwein Lees said.

Between the Poet’s performances, passengers can participate in

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. Admission is free. Call 570.836.8595 for details. Pre-registration is not required.

As you can see, the Dietrich is so much more than the movies.

Erica Rogler is a staff member of the Dietrich Theater.

Karaoke or bingo, and the ship offers a full fitness center and spa, Reichwein Lees said.

During the meet and greet, the Poets handed out an award to Kausmeyer and Abington Travel President James Verano for organizing the cruise.

The Poets also spoke to the passengers about the cruise.

“We hope the band will jam with us,” Kausmeyer said.

Buses leaving from Wilkes-Barre and Dickson City will bring the passengers to New Jersey where the ship will depart for the high seas.

The package includes breakfast, lunch, dinner and 24-hour room service. All entertainment and accommodations are also included.

“It’s About Time!” is the title of the Abington Community Library’s After School Program scheduled for Thursday, Oct.27 from 4 - 4:45 p.m.

The library has a variety of non-fiction children’s books about the history of clocks and how people have measured time over the centuries.

These will be on display for the children to look at and there will also be a few hands-on activities about time, plus the opportunity to make a handy reminder about turning the clocks back Sunday, Nov. 6, as we return to Eastern Standard Time.

The program is recommended for children age five through 10 years. Coming in November: “Meet the Pilgrims.”

New Fiction Series for Teens Anara is a world crumbling to devastation, its only hope a master, his apprentice, and the mysteriously powerful and illegal ancient relics they collect. “The Relic Master,” a four-volume series, was created by Catherine Fisher.

“The Dark City” (Book 1) Galen, a master of the old Order, and his sixteen-year-old apprentice, Raffi, have heard rumors of the secret relic that could help save Anara. The Watch, Anara’s tyrannical governors, have heard the rumors, too, and want the relic for themselves. Raffi and Galen set out to hunt for it in the dark city of Tasceron.

“The Lost Heiress” (Book 2) It is up to Galen and Raffi to find the lost heiress of Tasceron before the Watch do. Her whereabouts are unknown but her life is in grave danger. On their quest, they must decide whether or not to trust Carys, a former Watchspy.

Her help might be the only way to find the lost heiress.

“The Hidden Coronet” (Book 3) If Flam’s Coronet exists, this legendary ancient relic might be the only way to defeat the evil power that is destroying Anara, but the Coronet has not been seen for centuries. Raffi and Galen must enlist Carys’s help to find it, but she is a dangerous ally with her connection to the Watch.

“The Margrave” (Book 4) Raffi knows he is being hunted, even if Galen doesn’t agree. He knows what is after him and it is too terrible to face, hidden in the deepest, darkest part of Anara. The fate of Anara rests on Raffi facing his greatest fear in the conclusion of the series. Evil is unmasked, loyalty is tested, and the greatest secret in all of Anara is revealed.

Upcoming Events The Friends of the Library Fall Book Sale will be held Saturday, Oct. 29 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Clarks Summit United Methodist Church, Morgan Highway, across from the library.

Saturday, Oct. 29 Saturday Story Hour will be held from 11 to 11:45 a.m. presented by Marywood University Students. The theme is “Halloween” children ages three to seven are encouraged to come in their costume.

With Jane Julius Honchell SEE JANE READ

Unusual book offers both tricks and treats for teens and adults.

TheimageonthecoverofRansom Riggs’ debut novel features a young girl with long, curly hair wearing a beruffled dress, Mary Janes, and an inscrutable expression, standing with her arms held stiffly at her sides. At first glance, the picture appears to be a typical vintage photograph, but on closer inspection, we see that the child’s feet are hovering about six inches above the ground.

Spooky! As my eye traveled

down to the title, I was hooked.

Who wouldn’t want to read a book called “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children”?

I found this little treasure last summer in a Chicago bookstore, but waited to tell you about it because it makes a perfect read for Halloween. It’s hard to categorize this book by genre, since it combines history, horror, fantasy, science fiction and romance in what is essentially a coming-of-age

that the photographs inspired the characters. While a few of the pictures have been slightly altered, most are originals, and boy, are they strange, eerie, and subtly disturbing! In addition to the little levitator on the cover, there is an old woman, hunched over in profile,smokingapipe;achildin a bunny suit is slumped on a sidewalk, crying; a little girl, tombstones in the background, staring into a pool, where the images of two girls are reflected; and one of two little boys, in disturbing clown makeup, sitting back-to back, one with a streamer unraveling from his mouth. I don’t have any desire to reread the book, but find myself paging through it repeatedly, just to marvel over the images.

“Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” is a tricky book, and one that is full of visual treats. Another plus is that it won’t rot your teeth like all that candy you scored on Halloween.

story. Although billed as a “young adult” novel, like the Harry Potter series, “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children”appealstoolderreadersbecause of its complexity, historical background, and interesting family dynamics.

As a child, Jacob’s favorite person was his grandfather, Abraham, whose stories about hiding from monsters with a group of other children fascinated the boy.

But by the time Jacob reaches his mid-teens, he realizes that the monsters were Nazis, and begins to see the old man as pathetic, probably senile, and embarrassing. All this changes when Jacob finds his grandfather cut to ribbons and dying in the woods behind his house. The authorities believe Abraham was attacked by wild dogs, but Jacob is convinced he saw a horrifying creature with a mouth full of tentacles lurking in the shadows. Jacob sinks into depression, obsessed by his grandfather’s dying words: “Find the bird,” so his parents send him to a shrink, hoping to snaptheboybacktoreality.However, when Jacob finds a letter among his grandfather’s effects from a Miss Peregrine, he travels

with his father, a devout birdwatcher, to a small island off the coast of Wales, to find the orphanage where Abraham spent his childhood and to unravel the mystery of the old man’s past.

What the 16-year-old discovers there is a crumbling orphanage that was hit by a German bomb on September 3, 1940. I particularly enjoyed Riggs’ evocation of the desolate building, with its dusty hallways, abandoned bedrooms, and disintegrating stairways – the perfect haunted house. Although his first visit to the deserted orphanage disappoints Jacob, he feels compelled to return to the place, and when he does, much like Alice in Wonderland, he enters a portal that takes him back in time to the day before the bomb falls.

Lo and behold, Miss Peregrine and her strange charges still live!

And trust me, her charges are strange. Each possesses peculiar powers. For example, one girl can make fire with her hands; another can levitate herself. There is an invisible boy, and one chubby little fellow who can reanimate the dead. Jacob falls in love with the girl who, in an earlier time, was the love of his grandfa-

ther’s life. I won’t spoil the book for you by telling you what happens next, but from the moment Jacob enters this mysterious time warp, he is faced with a difficult decision: will he remain in a world where, as in Peter Pan’s Neverland, no one grows up, or will he return to his own time and take up the work of becoming an adult?

While fascinating and sometimes downright frightening, the book is not without its flaws. We don’t get to spend enough time with the peculiar children to see their personalities truly develop, andtheending,althoughexciting in an adventure movie sort of way, feels muddled and incomplete–probablysothatRiggscan write a sequel.

However, what saves the book, what makes it worth buying even if you don’t like the story, are the 40 or so astounding vintage photographs that accompany the text. Riggs began collecting the unusual images at garage sales and flea markets, and later was able to borrow more from several renown collectors, eventually accumulating hundreds. If we think about which came first, the photographs or the story, my vote is

Abington Heights swept the doubles matches while defeating Williamsport, 3-1, in the District 2-4 Class AAA Championship.

“A good team needs to be able to rely on its doubles play,” Abington Heights coach Tom Lavelle said. “They came through for us.”

Scranton Prep was in command from the start of the District 2 Class AA Championship in which it defeated Wyoming Seminary,

3-0.

The quick final made up for a long two days, which included a suspended semifinal match Thursday at Kirby Park that the Classics picked up Friday on their home courts to defeat Valley View, 3-1, before traveling to Birchwood.

“We played very well (Friday),” Scranton Prep coach Kathleen McKenna said. “It was a tough tournament for everybody with the stop and start because of weather.

Lackawanna Trail shuts out Susquehanna

BY ROBERT TOMKAVAGE

SCRANTON- Scranton Prep sophomore Tessa Barrett had a very successful freshman year on the cross country team, but that didn’t stop her from working hard during the off-season.

That dedication to the sport led to an Tessa Barrett undefeated season for Barrett. She also set course records at every meet except for the one at Lakeland.

“I did a lot of summer training,” she said. “I did a lot of cross-training: swimming, biking, using the rowing machine at Brown’s (Gym). I think that really contributed to my success.”

Barrett always had a love for running, but didn’t start competing until ninth grade.

She credited her coach, Jeff Dorunda, for her maturation as a runner and the team’s improvement as a whole.

“He’s really great,” she said. “We do a lot of workouts. I run with the boys a lot. We do two or three workouts a week, going on long runs. We have a great program that has developed a lot over the past two years.”

The sophomore said she enjoys the sport because it’s a way to escape from the daily grind for a while.

“For me, it’s really a big de-stressor,” she said. “I love just coming out of school and going out for a run.”

Barrett, who finished third at districts and 34th at states last year despite battling an injury, is poised to have a bigger impact in both events this year, but isn’t putting any added pressure on herself heading into the big races.

“I really would like to improve on those finishes,” she said. “Last year, I was injured going into districts and states. I really feel healthy and ready this year, but however the race goes, (it goes). That’s how I feel about every race. I just try to achieve a better time than

Lions back on track LACKAWANNA TRAIL-After losing two division games, the Lackawanna Trail Lions defense recorded its first shutout of the season in an 18-0 victory over Susquehanna High School Oct. 21.

The Lions’ defense stopped the Sabers three times in the red zone to help end Lackawanna Trail’s two-game skid and give the Lions their first divisional win.

“Any time you play against the veer offense you have to be very disciplined and they [Susquehanna] run it as well as anybody,” said Lions coach Steve Jervis. “The defensive line did a nice job controlling the line of scrimmage and didn’t give the quarterback enough time to make See Lions , Page 3

CLARKS SUMMIT- Trailing by one point with 2:15 remaining in the fourth quarter, West Scranton executed an eightplay 66-yard drive that was capped by a 36-yard field goal from senior kicker Noe Herrera with 25 seconds left in the game.

The kick gave the Invaders a 17-15 victory over Abington Heights in a Lackawanna Football Conference Division I game at Comets Stadium Oct. 22.

“There was a lot of pressure,” Herrera said. “My teammates knew it was up to me and I couldn’t let them down.”

During the Comets’ final rally, Abington Heights quarterback Dante Pasqualichio found J.C. Show for a 47 yard completion to the West Scranton 30-yard line, but time expired as players were scrambling for the loose ball when Show tried a lateral.

Abington Heights was able to break a scoreless tie in the closing seconds of the first half when Brandon Pacyna hit a 28yard field goal.

The Comets were in position to add to their lead late in the third quarter, but Invaders’ defensive back Malcolm Sweeting intercepted a Pasqualichio pass and raced 95 yards down the sideline for a touchSee Comets , Page 2

Honesdale hangs on to defeat Lakeland

BY DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@theabingtonjournal.com

Honesdale’s high school football team managed to stop a Lakeland comeback, and hang on for a 20-19 win over the visiting Chiefs Oct. 21.

Trailing 20-13 in the fourth quarter, with just under three and half minutes to play, the Chiefs went on an impressive scoring drive that started at their own 20-yard line.

Fueling the charge was Lakeland quarterback Kyle Kiehart, who connected on six of nine passes for 65 passing yards on the drive. Kiehart, who finished the game 170 passing yards, connected with Alex Filarsky on a 7-yard touchdown pass to put the Chiefs within one point.

The Hornets stopped Lakeland’s two-point attempt and got the ball back with just 44.5 seconds left in the game, enough time to take a

knee and end the game with a victory.

“We were having a tough time stopping them on that drive…unfortunately they got the touchdown, but we stopped the two-point conversion and

got the win, and that’s the main thing,” said Honesdale’s head coach Jim Ludwig.

“I know Lakeland is a physical team, a quality team…I knew they

were going to come in and play hard and give us a tough game. It’s always a tough game against them.”

The Chiefs found themselves trying to climb out of a hole early in the game after Honesdale’s Nick Hessling, who finished the game with 91 rushing yards, scored on a 2-yard touchdown run in the first quarter, and Malick Torres on a 3yard touchdown run in the second quarter to give the Hornets a 14-0 lead.

Lakeland answered back on its following possession. Positioned on the Chiefs’ 12-yard line, Kiehart attempted to run the ball in for a touchdown, he fumbled in the end zone, but it was recovered by Chief Tyler Brady, making the score 14-6.

Joyce said.

She also happens to be near the top of her class academically, according to Joyce.

But Cox also has another passion besides volleyball- the arts.

She is co-directing this year’s Fall Play at Lackawanna Trail with two other students. According to Cox, the play had been cancelled because of budget cuts until she and her codirectors decided to take on the task of organizing the play themselves.

“The fall play this year will be ‘The Complete History of America (abridged!)’ and we’re already working really hard for it to be a hit when it opens the first weekend of December,” Cox said.

Cox credited her mother for her passion for the arts and has been a part of the drama club since she was in eighth grade.

C.G. talks shade trees

BY EMILY CULLEY Abington Journal Correspondent

CLARKS GREEN- This month’s Oct. 10 meeting of the Clarks Green Borough Council dealt with The Shade Tree Committee and the 2012 budget. Chris Peiffer, a Chesapeake Bay forester with The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), addressed council, saying that in 2007 the DCNR was asked to identify communities with the Tree City status that were doing an excellent job expanding the tree canopy cover. “Clarks Green seems to have taken the lead in addressing this project,” he said, referring to the DCNR project of increasing the urban tree canopy.

According to a handout prepared by the Clarks Green Shade Tree Committee, “The Abingtons (Clarks Green, Clarks Summit, South Abington, and Waverly) were chosen as the first communities to lead the Urban Tee Canopy project based on their location within the Chesapeake Bay Watershed and active shade tree programs.”

The Clarks Green Shade Tree Committee’s goal is to increase the canopy by 40 percent in 40 years. In order to reach the goal, the committee must plant 35 trees per year. “In order to reach our goal it requires a team of devoted people and funding,” said Shade Tree Committee, chairmen, Mike Gockley, who presented to council the committee’s desire to be upgraded to a commission and to have a place in the borough’s budget to better fund the purchase of trees and promotional materials.

Council agreed that the Shade Tree Committee should be a part of next year’s budget, but

decided to gather information about the differences between a committee and a commission before voting. Council President Marie King mentioned that trees are still available for planting.

The council moved on to preliminary discussions of the 2012 budget. A request was made from the Abington Little league for a donation, prompting a discussion regarding the number of donations the council should budget, considering the donations come from taxpayer money. Council voted on projects, such as sewer line repairs on Belmont and Clarks Street.

Councilwoman Jill Shanrock reported that the paving along the bottom part of Belmont was completed, with the upper half slated for work next year. She also mentioned an Agility program with PennDOT to repair sections on Fairview road.

Council voted on a pay-as- yougo rate for the Abington Regional Wastewater Authority.

Councilman Todd Zimmerman announced after six years on council that he will be resigning at the end of the year in order to dedicate more time to his new post as chairmen of Summit Christian Academy.

JERMYN- A parent in the Lakeland School District recently brought forward to the School Board Oct. 19 that her child, a student there, had become sick after being exposed to possible mold that is allegedly present in the school buildings. The district immediately took action and according to Superintendent Margaret Billings- Jones, Ed.D the district has brought in a company to test the buildings to see if mold is present.

Board member John Uram confirmed that he did receive a call from a parent that stated their student had experienced adverse effects from the mold that is suspected to be in the school, but that has yet to be confirmed. Dr. Billings- Jones stated that upon initial investigation the school has normal air quality levels and there is no cause for alarm at this point, but that testing will continue and that the district will do what has to be done, if anything, to correct a possible issue with mold, once the test results are returned to the district.

The board approved the termination of the 2011-2012 agreement between Sprint Sports Injury Treatment Center and the Lakeland School District for Athletic Training effective October 24, and then approved an agreement with Procare Physical Therapy for the remainder of the school year of 1,250 hours at a cost of $19 per hour for a total of $23,750. The board did not discuss the decision for the change of providers at the meeting.

Board member John Brennan noted at the meeting that he needed to make a clarification in regard to the upcoming school board elections, and announced that he will not be seeking another term, but that his name will still appear on the ballot.

Brennan said that his recent change in work schedule will not allow him the proper amount of time as a school board member, “I have a change in work

schedule, and I have been missing a lot of workshops and getting here late for some meetings and it is not fair to my coboard members and it is not fair to the district either. I have been on the board for almost 20 years and it was a tough decision but I know it was the right decision and I am very proud of all the accomplishments this board has been able to do,” said Brennan.

With the announcement of Brennan not seeking re-election, the board honored board members who also will not return to the board. Brennan presented Certificates of Appreciation for Service to Edward Lubash, who has been on the board since 1998, Richard Koruszko, who served the board since 1987 and Paul Lemoncelli, who has been on the board since 2002.

The following positions were also appointed and approved by the board: Megan Judge Gagliardi for the 2011-2012 school year as a Special Education Teacher at Step 1 at a salary of $38,557, pending all clearances; Joel Lemoncelli as a Social Studies permanent substitute teacher for 2011- 12 at Step 1 at a salary of $38,557; Assistant Girl’s Basketball Coach Lindsay Kraky, Head Boys Track Coach Art Davis, Head Girls Track Coach Linda Stephens, Three Assistant Girls Track Coaches: Jason Tochelli, Carl Fron , Jim Perry; Mock Trial Advisor Charles Barlow and Volunteer Baseball Coach Dave Doud.

In other business, the board approved the induction of the former Lakeland Students and coaches to the Lakeland Hall of Fame; approved to enter into a agreement with Cost Management at no cost to the district, to audit the district’s telecommunications and utility bills in an effort to save money; approved the transportation of a special needs student to National Health Services in Honesdale at a cost of $134.15 per day, and approved a salary adjustment for the Technology Director Jeff Price from $46,366.06 to $52,000.00 for the 2011-12 school year.

Commendations The board approved a resolution to commend the Lakeland School Board members and Superintendent of Schools, who have implemented academic, extracurricular programs and addressed the facility to provide a meaningful and a productive education for the students of the district. It was noted that the current board excelled in the following areas: establishment of a full- day kindergarten and completion of a building renovation; high attainment of Annual Academic Yearly Progress as established by the state, for the past nine years; use of technology; increasing computers to more than 900 in the district; attainment of college credits for students through the three- course engineering program through Penn State University and RIT; adoption and purchase of a new Saxton Math series for all students in grades K-6. The motion noted other accomplishments: introduction of Spanish for all students at the Junior High School level; adoption and purchase of a new Prentice Hall Literature Series for all students in grades 7 – 12; introduction of a Mandarin Chinese course through online technology interaction; introduction of a Wellness and Fitness Program; addition of a principal, nurse and guidance counselor in every building; upgrade of facilities which included security cameras in all schools, carpet and locker replacements, replacement of exterior doors; acquisition of $4 million in grants and maintenance of a low rate for taxpayers and fiscal responsibility while building a healthy fund balance to secure quality education for current and future Lakeland students.

The resolution, which featured more than 22 successful additions to the district by the board and superintendent was approved by all 8 members to be placed in the official minutes of the meeting.
