COMMUNITY Editor’s Note: In selecting the recipient of The Abington Journal’s annual Lifetime of Service Award, we attempted to choose a person in the community who illustrated R. Matthew Burne, the person in whose honor it is named. When we approached the family of our first honoree with the announcement of a posthumous dedication for the Lifetime of Service Award to R. Matthew Burne, they reacted with the generosity illustrated throughout his life by offering to donate in his memory to a charity to which he was dedicated. Every year, they offer future Lifetime of Service honorees that same ability.

NEWTON TWP. - On Nov. 8, the voters of Newton Township will go to the polls and vote ‘yes’ or ‘no’ for allowing Newton Township to turn over to a Home Rule community, and with that different views have been coming to light.

The purpose of the ballot questions is to determine whether the electors of Newton Twp. in the county of Lackawanna wish to elect a government study commission of seven members. Approval of the ballot question will have the following effect: 1. The elected government study commission will study Newton Township’s existing form of government currently in place; 2. After studying Newton Township’s existing form of government, the elected government study commission will consider the practicality of adopting a home rule charter for Newton Township; and 3. If practical, the elected government study commission will draft and recommend a home rule charter that will be submitted to the voters of Newton Twp. for approval.

Clarks Summit Borough Emergency Management Coordinator Michael A. Filarsky announced that Nov. 9 at 2 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, the federal government will conduct the first nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS). The test will last up to three and a half minutes. During this period, regularly scheduled television, radio, cable and satellite shows will be interrupted as the system is being tested.

The Borough Emergency Management Coordinator’s would like to ensure that all members and the larger public are aware that this event will be just a test, and not a real emergency alert.

“The first nationwide test of the EAS is a huge step toward coordination of all EAS resources,” Filarsky said. “In present day and times all of our citizens and organizations have a right to be accurately informed about emergencies that may have an effect on their daily lives. This nationwide test is a critical step towards this goal.”

The test is being conducted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), as part of their on-

going efforts to keep the nation safe during emergencies and strengthen our resilience against all hazards.

The national Emergency Alert System is an alert and warning system that can be activated by the president, if needed, to provide information to the American public during emergencies. NOAA’s National Weather Service, governors, and state and local emergency authorities also use parts of the system to issue more localized emergency alerts. The test is an important exercise in ensuring that the system is effective in communicating critical information to the public in the event of a real national emergency.

Similar to emergency alert system tests that are already conducted frequently on the local level, the nationwide test will involve television and radio stations across the United States, including Alaska, Hawaii and the territories of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and American Samoa.

Borough of Clarks Summit Emergency Management Coordinators, along with FEMA, encourages the public to use this event as a reminder that everyone should establish an emergency preparedness kit and emergency plan for themselves, their families, communities and businesses.

Also, on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, Commander Bailey will attend a ceremony at the Abington Heights Elementary School. He will lead the student body in the Pledge of Allegiance before speaking to the second grade students of

his daughter Jacklyn’s class about the importance of the day.

“I’ve been going to the school for three of four years,” Bailey said. “I speak to all three second grade classes and take questions from the children.

Children of that age are very inquisitive, so I have to be on the ball. It’s a joy to talk to them; many of them have grandparents who served in wars.”

All VFW members are also invited to the DePaul School at Allied Services for the annual Veterans Day presentation for

Bear Den ‘Pack’ holiday wishes

BY ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER lbaumeister@theabingtonjournal.com

At least 15 soldiers in Afghanistan who are unable to be home for Christmas this year will have gifts and handmade cards to open, thanks to Cub Scout Pack 160 of Clarks Summit.

The Pack’s Bear Den, made up of third grade students, filled the 15 gift bags with books, movies, candy and treats, notebooks and personal hygiene items during their regular meeting at the Clarks Summit United Methodist Church Oct. 27. They also included Christmas cards which they made during a previous meeting.

Cub Scout Alex Nole said his favorite part of the project was picking out items from the large selection of things they had collected and packing them in his gift bag.

Another Cub Scout, Justin Williams, said they could only include items that would not break or melt during shipping.

And, he said, they tried to pick out “something the soldiers would appreciate.”

Ricky Rahique Mirza agreed that that the soldiers will appreciate some of the gifts because they are items they probably aren’t able to get in Afghanistan.

Cathleen Lopez, who initiated the project, said her husband is currently serving in Afghanistan, but is fortunate enough to be coming home

She said she wanted the boys to learn that not every Dad has that opportunity, and the soldiers need their support at Christmas time. She said the gifts will be sent to Charlie Company, which includes 127 men and is stationed in a remote location in Afghanistan.

Lopez’s son, Thomas Lopez, is a Scout in Webelos 2, which is also helping with the project. He said he is glad to be helping and sharing with the soldiers. “We’re doing the best we can,” he said.

The Scouts in Bear Den expressed many “Christmas wishes” for the soldiers, including that they come home safe without being wounded, see their families again, have a good and happy time on Christmas, and they enjoy their gifts.

Lopez said other packs in the troop are also helping out, as well as some of the Girl Scouts from her daughter’s Troop, 50273.

Continued from Page 1 visor Doug Pallman said he is not in favor of Home Rule and feels the community is very confused on what Home Rule is all about. “I am in no way endorsing Home Rule. It is not the right direction for Newton Township to go. We have been running the township for over 160 years without it and we have the lowest tax rate around, adequate road structure and we do not need to change the way we do things. I am not in favor of supporting yes, I am speaking for my own views only,� he said Pallman said he feels the issue of Home Rule has become more evident since the issue of gas drilling has come forth and they are two separate issues. He added that he feels Home Rule cannot be linked with gas drilling and that it strictly has to do with the governing of the township.

Sarah Lodwick, in favor of Home Rule, is one of seven candidates running for a committee to elect a government study commission. Lodwick said she feels the purpose of the upcoming ballot question is to determine whether the electors of Newton Township wish to elect a government study commission of seven members. She said if people vote ‘yes’ it would mean that the study commission would study Newton Township’s existing form of government, consider the practicality of adopting a Home Rule Charter and draft and recommend a Home Rule Charter that would go to the voters of the township for approval. Lodwick also said that the voters should approve the ballot question so that the seven candidates can protect the township from the negative impacts of gas drilling. “Home Rule is an alternative that allows the residents of Newton to directly address, influence and vote on concerns,� she said.

Pallman said he feels Home Rule is simply voting for a change in government and how issues are handled by the town board. He explained that with a Home Rule Charter anyone can introduce concepts, and with that people tend to lose interest in government. “People need to understand how much this would change government, if the voters approve to do Home Rule, a study will then have to be passed, then that has to go to the voters, then it goes to a

The Home Rule Question as it will appear on the Nov. 8 ballot: Q: Shall a government study commission of 7 members be elected to study the existing form of government of the municipality to consider the advisability of the adoption of a home rule charter; and if advisable to draft and to recommend a home rule charter?

Yes No Seven candidates for a committee to elect a Home Rule government study commission include: John F. Frankowski Carl H. Caswell Carol Mielnikowski Richard B. Scott Michael Grizzanti Philip J. Covalesky Sarah F. Lodwick Sarah Lodwick has lived in Newton Township for more than 25 years. Lodwick said she joined the Home Rule Study Commission Group in order to serve that end.

referendum and then to a charter. You simply do not change government because of gas drilling, gas drilling will still come here and a Home Rule Charter will not stop it,� Pallman said.

As defined, Home Rule allows municipalities to develop a body of law, which a local council can adopt, they can adapt and administer legislation and regulations for the conduct of business and maintenance. It further allows the committee the authority to exercise any power to perform any function not denied by the Pennsylvania Constitution.

They can adopt ordinances and laws in any capacity, except where it is specified by law. Home Rule also shifts responsibility for local government from the State Legislature to the local community, where a township that chooses Home Rule can tailor its government organization and powers to suit its needs. These are only a few of the changes that could occur in Newton Township if Home Rule is approved.

Pallman said, “The Newton Township is always open to hear public comment. We just hired a consultant to advise us on all issues in regard to gas drilling. All of our boards are working on all issues that could affect the township in regard to gas drilling and we are gathering as much information in regard to it as possible. I urge residents to come to our meetings. We sometimes only have two or three people there. Come and speak out. Anyone can introduce a concept‌. â€?

This enables me to plan my dimension and perspective into the carving much better than with the bark still on the tree, as I may be able to use as much as the natural character of the wood as possible. Fans of Treat’s work will have an opportunity to purchase one of his woodcarvings and help the park at the same time.

He noted, “We have six tree sections which were removed from above the carved tree stock which we intend to make carvings from and offer them to anyone interested in purchasing their own custom carving. The carvings will be approximately 4 foot tall and cost $395 each with proceeds used toward further park development expenses. Some options include standing bears, perched eagles and benches.�

This offer is only available to the first six purchase commitments.

when his duties as a member of the Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (M.A.S.H.) unit with the United States Army relocated him to Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas with his wife Elaine, who he married in 1952.

The two moved to Clarks Summit in 1966 where they raised their children: Anthony Robert Koveleski, Lee Ann Koveleski, Christopher Koveleski and Sharon Kelley. The family now includes daughterin-law Carole Koveleski, grandson Michael Koveleski and son-in-law Scott Kelley.

Upon returning to the area, Koveleski was able to return to racing.

Winning the 1970 SCCA National Championship in Road Atlanta, Koveleski set himself apart as one of the top members of the sport, competing in events like the SCCA Can Am series where he finished in the top 10 four times.

Another career highlight was a second-place finish in Brock Yates’ first Cannonball Run in 1971, which extended from New York City to California. Koveleski competed as a part of the Polish Racing Drivers of America Team, a team of which he was co-founder.

He also acted as head of press relations for Newman-Sharp Racing, founded by Bob Sharp.

The team had a number of members over the years, including Scott Sharp, Paul Newman, Tom Cruise and Walter Payton.

His career offered him an opportunity to help make the sport safer for his friends.

“In the early days it was a very dangerous sport,” said Koveleski. “The rules and the laws were very loose.”

In an effort to make racing less dangerous, Koveleski joined the board of directors of the Motor Racing Safety Society, which was founded by Karl E. Ludvigsen in 1970.

“The first thing we did was body protection…we were the first ones to try and figure out how to make a collapsible steering wheel work on a standard car,” said Koveleski.

In addition to the collapsible steering wheel, the Motor Racing Safety Society also researched and helped develop safer seats, seat belts, helmets, fire proof suits, shoes and gloves.

“I think I wanted to make it safer because I knew we were going to kill more people if we didn’t,” said Koveleski.

“Five of the races I was in, five of my friends were killed.”

MAN OF ACTION While it would be normal for anyone to want to protect his friends, what set Koveleski apart was that he did something about it. And according to those who have worked with him over the years, this action is a true reflection of his character.

“The thing that I appreciate the most about Oscar is there are creative people, and then there are people who will work alongside you to bring that plan to fruition,” said Leah Ducato Rudolph, director of the Abington Community Library.

“He doesn’t just have grandiose ideas, he will work with you…he’s right alongside you…and will help you make that dream a reality, which I find very exciting and stimulating,” she added.

Rudolph met Koveleski, who lives near the library, a few years ago when Koveleski, being a good neighbor, called the library to inform staff that library air conditioner sounded as though there might be a problem with it.

There was.

In the fall of 2009, following their first conversation, Koveleski approached Rudolph to inquire if he could help with fundraising for the library.

“He sat in on a couple of meetings we had with some fundraising committees…and

eventually we decided what we wanted to do was a hot dog sale,” said Rudolph.

“And he said, ‘Well you know one of the favorite foods of racers are hot dogs. Why don’t you call it the Pit Stop and I’ll be glad to help you with the theme of a pit stop.’”

The library held its first Pit Stop in the summer of 2010, and the event met with such success that a second was held this past summer.

To extend the theme, Koveleski provided the Pit Stop with a Kidracer for the children in attendance to drive.

The Kidracer was designed by Koveleski in 2000 to look and drive like a real race car. Powered by rechargeable batteries, it’s a 47-pound race car, with a two-speed shifter.

Over the years he has made Kidracers available whenever he is able at fundraising events like the Pit Stop, the Clark Summit Centennial celebration in August and a Flood Relief Benefit at McDade Park held last month.

“I started with the pedal cars, but I realized pedal cars were a waste of time, because you’re not supposed to pedal a car, you’re supposed to drive cars,” said Koveleski.

He developed the Kidracer to give children a realistic handson opportunity to start learning to drive.

The move to the Kidracer was a logical one for Koveleski, who was at the center of the slot car boom in the 1950s and 60s.

He began selling slot cars and model kits while he was racing in SCCA events in the mid-1950s and in 1958 founded Auto World, a mail-order company that operated out of his friend Bob Smith’s basement. In the mid-1960s, Koveleski opened an Auto World store on Keyser Avenue, Scranton, and in 1969 founded Auto World Motorsports, a magazine featuring specialty and safety equipment for all types of racing as well as lists of books on auto racing.

In 1962 he teamed with Bob MacLeod and Larry Shaw, and the three started Car Model Magazine, a bi-monthly how-to magazine on model car building and racing.

“We wrote the best catalogs, because we gave the best information. I wrote the catalogs and I wrote a lot of that stuff. I dictated this is how you do it, and explained the weight, the math, the science,” said Koveleski.

“We set the standard for information, photography, clarity and simplicity.”

Koveleski managed to get Car Model Magazine and Auto World (Model Cars) sold at newsstands, which helped generate a demand for the products.

“We had all the stuff listed,

and the kids would buy the catalogs and go into their local hobby store and see if they had it, so the owner of the store would look and say, ‘Auto World?’ So then the owner would start calling the manufacturer,” said Koveleski.

Koveleski believes the magazines helped expand the interest of auto racing to a new audience, and had a strong influence.

“We worked with kids and then the kids grew up, and they grew out of that. Now the kid that was playing with slot cars.

They want a real car, they want to fix it up, they want to paint it, they want to customize it, decorate it. We helped create the hot rod era, the custom era, and got them started in auto racing” said Koveleski.

The magazines and the store gave Koveleski the opportunity to share his knowledge with a large audience.

“I think it’s a love of the sport, and a need to pass it on,” said friend J.J. O’Malley of Koveleski’s work. “He keeps saying we’re getting older and we need to get the kids involved.”

The communications manager for NASCAR Grand Am Road Racing, J.J. O’Malley met Koveleski as a child through his father, John “Ace” O’Malley, a reporter for the Pittston Dispatch, who covered the races at Bone Stadium.

Koveleski helped O’Malley get his career started by having him edit the “ABCs of Slot Car Racing,” an informational pamphlet on slot cars, and by having O’Malley act as announcer at some of the races Koveleski organized at Pocono International Raceway.

“That was the first time I ever did PA announcing, so that was another door he opened for me,” said J.J. O’Malley.

J.J. O’Malley was just one of a number of area youngsters who Koveleski took under his wing over the years, trying to help guide them. The most recent resident to benefit from Koveleski’s experience has been 16-year-old Clarks Summit resident Jerry Tunney.

Tunney, a NASCAR hopeful, recently earned a full scholarship to a prominent racing school, Race 101 in North Carolina.

“Oscar is an amazing guy,” wrote Tunney.

“He has helped me tremendously since I met him earlier this year, everything from car

setup to marketing. His knowledge and advice comes from experience, so who better to learn it from than him.”

And, J.J. O’Malley will be the first to tell you that advice doesn’t stop once you’re an adult. He was working in public relations for Watkins Glen International, N.Y. in 1989 when it hosted a Ford GT40 reunion.

“It was supposed to be a onetime deal,” said O’Malley.

“It was a big event, and Oscar came up to me after and was asking me ‘What were we going to do next?’ And he suggested a (SCCA Can Am Series Reunion.)”

J.J. O’Malley liked the idea and the two went out, signed on a number of drivers, including former champion Danny Hume, and organized the event in 1990.

The successful event helped the staff at Watkins Glen realize the drawing power of events like the Can Am.

participant, winning the event six times, or in a volunteer capacity.

During his time as mayor, Gildea said he viewed Koveleski as an invaluable asset.

“The contribution he made to that race, he made my job a lot easier. He was a guy I could call for advice,” said Gildea.

“He just has a great love for that hill, and more of us should have that passion for any activity in our lives.”

The passion Koveleski has shown for the Giants Despair Hill Climb is the same he’s shown in all of his endeavors.

And it doesn’t seem like that passion is going to die down anytime soon.

“I’ll never stop racing life. I think life is the best sport of all.

Live it well,” said Koveleski.

Koveleski added that he’s hoping this article will inspire others to join him in this race and find a cause that interests them enough to volunteer.

AN ‘INVALUABLE ASSET’ He recommended those in“He’s an idea man, he has tons terested in racing to volunteer of ideas. I just wish we had the time with the SCCA; for more manpower to implement all of information visit www.sccathem,” said former Laurel Run .com.

Wonderful ‘Wizard’

By Kelly Leighton Abington Journal Correspondent

T

he Scranton Prep Players, the drama society at Scranton Preparatory School, will present “The Wizard of Oz” at the Bellarmine Theatre in several performances this month.

Performances will take place Nov. 11, 12, 18 and 19 at 7:30 p.m. and matinee performances Nov. 13 and 20 at 2 p.m. A preshow will preclude all performances, beginning 30 minutes before the scheduled start time.

Director Ann Moyles, also a teacher at Scranton Prep, said she chose this play because it’s one of her favorites. “For the past three years, I have stuck with dramas and comedies. I was in the mood for something different and I thought this play would be fun.”

“The ‘Wizard of Oz’ came together very well. We definitely have the right people in the right roles,” she added. “It’s a great experience for all the students involved.”

According to Moyles, the play has more than 125 students involved in the production. “The auditions are open to everyone in the school, not just members of the

Scranton Prep Players, so we always get a mix of old and new faces,” she said. “It’s interesting to see who shows up and the variety of students keeps it new and fresh.”

Additionally, the students are very hands-on for all aspects of the play. Students create all of the scenery, costumes, backdrops and props. “I’m so proud of that,” said Moyles. “I love working with my students. They do such a great job” Moyles said she enjoys the entire directing process, but some of her favorite rehearsals are when “the students start becoming comfortable in their characters.”

“I love watching the show evolve into their own,” she added. “Overall, ‘The Wizard of Oz’ is a great play. ages People of all will love this performance. It’s a timeless and classy play. It’s also fun and wonderful.

We’re having a blast.”

The Scranton Prep Players is one of the largest extracurricular activities at the school and the company puts on two performances a year.

Tickets for the performance cost $6 for children under 12, $8 for students and $10 for adults. Tickets will be available at the door, but are also available for pre-purchase at the box office. Moyles noted that there is reserved seating, so she encourages patrons to consider purchasing tickets prior to the event.

The Bellarmine Theatre is in Scranton Prep High School, located at 1000 Wyoming Avenue in Scranton. The box office is open from 2:45 -3:45 p.m. and 6 -7:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. For school at more in570. forma941.7797. tion, contact the

What star in the new movie "In Time" hosted Saturday Night Live four times?

In less than two weeks the Dietrich Children’s Theatre will take us on an adventure to West Africa. On Friday, Nov. 11 at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. and Saturday, Nov.12 at 11 a.m., they will perform “Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People’s Ears.”

This production is based upon the Caldecott Medal wining tale of an exaggerating little mosquito who tells a fib to an iguana who then puts sticks in his ears to keep from hearing such nonsense. This scares the snake, which frightens the rabbit, which startles the monkey…and soon, that one little fib has grown into such a big lie that the sun cannot rise and the whole animal kingdom is plunged into darkness. Join us to find out what happens.

Along the way, you will learn a couple of Swahili words and will interact with the cast of jungle characters. This is a great activity for families with children of all ages. These shows are sponsored by the Pennsylvania Humanities Council and admission is free.

Tickets are available by calling 570.996.1500 or at the door.

In addition to a November production, the Dietrich Children’s Theatre will be back in December with performances of “Lon Po Po: A Red Riding Hood Story from China.” Join us on Friday, Dec. 9 at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 10 at 11 a.m. for these shows, and see how this story is similar to and different from the Red Riding Hood tale we grew up with. After each show, storyteller Fiona Powell will discuss the tale with the audience. I always love to hear what kids have to say about each production. These performances are also funded by the Pennsylvania Humanities Council.

Speaking of discussions, the Dietrich Theater and Tunkhannock Public Library will be presenting a book discussion on Stieg Larsson’s “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” later this month. Pick up a copy of the book at your local library or bookstore or dust off your own copy and start reading.

We will meet to discuss this thriller at the Tunkhannock Public Library on Wednesday, Nov. 16 at 7 p.m. The discussion will be facilitated by Bill Chapla and all are invited to attend. Admission is free.

This will be the perfect time to discuss the phenomenon behind the novel before the December release of Hollywood movie of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. And of course, you can view this much-anticipated film on the Dietrich’s screen. I can’t wait to see Daniel Craig in the role of Mikael Blomkvist.

Alternative exercise

Waverly woman teaches NIA technique

BY JOAN MEAD-MATSUI Abington Journal Correspondent

W

hen Laura Ancherani found an ad for an alternative exercise program in the back of a magazine, she thought, “No one teaches this around here and this is something I’d really like to do. I kept saying to my mom, (Leslie Gleason) ‘When dancers get older what do they do if they don’t want to dance professionally?’ Some dancers have that enjoyment for dance but they don’t want to be professional dancers. I never had a desire to be a professional dancer but I love to dance – the way you work through your emotions when you’re dancing.

I thought there have got to be other people out there who like to dance but as they get older, they don’t have that option anymore.”

Ancherani is referring to the NIA Technique, a sensorybased movement practiced in more than 45 countries.

“NIA is designed to move in accordance with the way the body is designed, so you’re not doing these hard, pounding workouts…each workout has a name and a focus, which is another unique point to NIA. So NIA brings that component of sensing your body into the workout as well…,” said Ancherani.

Before deciding to join the NIA movement, she researched the program for a year or so to determine if it (the program) was something

she wanted to teach.

NIA, an acronym for “Neuromuscular Integrative Action,” draws from “disciplines of the martial arts, dance arts and ing arts” healand every class offers a combination of 52 moves that correspond with the main areas of the body: the base, the core and the upper extremities.

The classes are taken barefoot to “soul-stirring music” designed “to connect the body, mind, emotions and spirit.”

Debbie Rosas and Carlos Rosas, NIA creators and founders, chose to eliminate repetitive jumping commonly associated with aerobic exercise from their program. Their concept is a blend of eastern holistic principles with dance and martial arts including modern dance; yoga; Tae Kwon Do; Alexander Technique; Jazz dance, Aikido; Feldenkrais Method and Duncan Dance. NIA training series includes several progressive belt levels with the Black Belt representing the highest level of mastery. Ancherani is a certified NIA White Belt Teacher. All belt levels include 50 or more hours of education in the form of movement, in-

re of Scranton’s “The Dance Studio,” a former Pennsylvania Governor’s School for the Arts semi-finalist and two- year scholarship recipient to NEIU#19’s Art’s Alive program for dance; and was accepted to DeSales University dance program-1998.

Off the dance floor, Ancherani is an award-winning photographer, accessory designer, student and executive director of the Abington Business and Professional Association. She atre resides in Waverly of Scranton with her husband, from 1996Anthony and daughter, 1999. She is the former As- Lorelei.

Pet owners, young and old, will find two new additions at the Abington Community Library of interest.

Although part of the juvenile collection, the two books address dog and cat behavior and training basics in ways appropriate for adults as well as youngsters. Look for: “How to Speak Dog!” and “How to Speak Cat!” both by Sarah Whitehead. Dog owners will discover why their pet wags his/her tail, and how to know when their pet wants to play. Find out how to talk to your dog so he’ll respond in just the way you want, from training him to sit and stay, to letting him know it’s time for a walk. Dog language comes to life in this handbook and exciting games and tricks make learning how to speak “canine” fun and rewarding. Cat owners will learn to understand why their pets purr, and how they train their humans to pet them. Also owners will learn how they can train their cats to come when called, sit up and play fetch.

Learn “feline” as a second language with the help of this handbook.

The Abington Community Library has announced holiday closings during the month of November. It will be closed Nov. 8, Election Day, Nov. 11, Veterans’ Day and Nov. 24, Thanksgiving Day (it will close at 5 p.m. instead of 9 p.m. Nov. 23).

“We Both Read Series” Parents of emergent readers are encouraged to check the library’s Parenting Shelf in the Children’s Room for selections from this series. The unique format of this series is designed to allow parents and children to share the reading of a book by taking turns reading aloud. Parents read the more complex text and storyline on the left-hand pages, and children read the right-hand pages, which feature text written at a specific early reading level. Developed with reading education specialists, the series brings parents and children together for a new reading experience and faster reading development.

Look for two new titles: “About Dogs” – by Bruce Johnson and Sindy McKay. Designed to be read with very beginning readers, this book features fun information about the world’s most popular pet.

It covers some of the breeds, and some of the special jobs dogs do, including serving as rescue dogs and guide dogs.

Young dog lovers will find great photos and interesting facts while practicing their skills.

“A Pony Named Peanut,” by Sindy McKay. Jessica’s mother has sent her to spend the summer with her aunt and uncle in the country. At first she hates life in the country, but then she meets a special pony that has been rescued from an animal shelter. Slowly, she begins to think that this summer might not be so bad after all.

The Abington Community Library is located at 1200 W. Grove St., Clarks Summit.

found the crafting of this tale and Ackerman’s language both spellbinding and informative.

There are four copies and two sound recordings of this work available in the county library system...and for you e-book owners, it’s available on Kindle and the Nook.

And then on Monday evening, Nov. 7 at 6:30 p.m., we are joining with the Albright Library in the program “Scranton Reads.” We will be discussing, with Linda Mennicucci as our facilitator, Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451,” a sci-fi story of a firemen (and one particular firefighter) who don’t put out fires, but rather start them in order to destroy books. The goal is to maintain a civilization devoid of knowledge and ideas. It’s a scary world, and the novel’s impact is as strong on the contemporary reader as it was 50 years ago when it was first published. If you are interested in joining us, contact Janet Geeza at the library, 563.2014, as there still may be a few copies of the book available for your use.

Don’t forget that Kindle e-books have joined the offerings available through our county library system. If you have a Kindle and would like to download one of the library’s Kindle holdings, find out about the holdings and “how to” at <http://lclshome.lib.overdrive.com/ > And do peruse the lovely photos at our library. Paul Krenitsy, a former Blakely resident is the photographer and his photos ( already mounted) are for sale – to benefit the Friends.

In addition, the Friends’ Fall Raffle is in process. This fall you could wins a portable Garmin GPS (5 inch), its case and portable friction dashboard mount. If you already have a GPS, perhaps it might make a nice gift for a parent, a child, or for someone who travels and is often renting a car. Tickets are available at the circulation desk. All money made by the Friends is used to support the library’s needs, so we hope you can purchase a picture or a raffle ticket.

That’s it folks... enjoy all your Halloween goodies – and the remaining days of our lovely fall weather. The flakes will be flying before you know it.

Civic League delivers laughs for local good

BY JOAN MEAD-MATSUI Abington Journal Correspondent

Tuesdays hold story hour treat The brisk morning temperatures, the nippy breezes and the flying golden, brown and scarlet leaves tell me it’s apple picking time...and even better, the time to choose my favorite pumpkin for carving. Most porches on my street have visitors – carved pumpkins to scare or delight - and my morning walks really make me smile.

Even the Dalton Community Library is in the spirit; there’s a glowing friendly pumpkin at the desk and lots of reminders that Halloween is almost here all around the library. And Oct. 22, if you walked by the pumpkin and down the stairs, you would have found many Daltonians and visitors busy selecting books – and goodies ( many of which sported pumpkin themes) at our fall book sale. We thank all who prepared the books for the sale, worked the sale, baked , and those who came to find books and sweets; it was wonderful to see so many book lovers in one spot. And the support you gave our library is so vital to allowing us to serve the community.

Thanks one and all!

I wish you all could have been at the library October 24 when the Kreative Kids met.

Ten 4 th – 6 th graders participated in a watercolor painting program; in less than one hour they had created some amazing paintings of pumpkins in a variety of autumnal settings.

And they even took time to comment on the appealing aspects of each other’s work.

Our thanks to the volunteers who guided these youngsters so enthusiastically, Lexie Langan and Danielle Karwaski from Keystone College, and a most talented water color teacher, Cindy Reynolds; the children really enjoyed the session!

Kreative Kids meet every Monday afternoon from 4-5 p.m. If your child is interested in joining, call Janet Geeza at the library (563.2014) and she’ll answer your questions and register your child (children) for the program.

Then, those of you whose pre-schoolers are looking for a special treat on Tuesdays, don’t forget the story hour at 1 p.m.

Janet Geeza leads the storytelling, craft making, and song sessions. Yes, this is a story hour with many pluses and well worth the trip to the library. If you’d like more information, call Janet Geeza at the library and she’ll be happy to welcome you and your child to the group.

Mornings at the library are equally busy. Every Monday at 10:15, you’ll find a group of people playing Mah-Jong; on Tuesday at the same time, our bridge players meet for many lively hands of this game; and then, on Thursday, Euckre players meet for yet another challenge. All groups meet downstairs; newcomers or old hands at any of the games are always welcome. In fact, each group loves to share its passion for its favorite game. Stop by and have a delightful morning.

You’ll make it a habit.

At 10:30 a.m. Saturday morning (usually the last Saturday of the month) the library features our Saturday Spotlight reading group. Our November 19 (a week early because of the Thanksgiving holiday) selection is Diane Ackerman’s “The Zookeeper’s Wife.” In this book, we learn of the most creative way that the zookeepers in Warsaw, Poland protected 300 Warsaw ghetto Jews and numerous Polish resisters from the ravages of the Stuka bombers. Most critics have

POSTCARD COURTESY JACK HIDDLESTONE

This 1908 postcard creation with multi-dimensional aspects, including locks of blonde hair and threaded dress adornments, was postmarked in Chalindrey, France. The postmark further denotes that it was stamped at the Haute –Marne department in the Champagne-Ardenne region.

An opportunity to laugh cares and troubles away will be available when doors open at 6 p.m. at the upcoming Abington Heights Civic League, Inc.’s “Comedy Night” fundraiser Nov. 17. The League will present, “A Night of Laughter with Wise Crackers Comedy,” featuring comedians Averall Carter and John Knight at the Ramada Plaza Hotel in Clarks Summit.

It is our club’s largest and most important annual fundraisers; we are in our 7th consecutive year of hosting a “Comedy Night” fundraiser.”

She added, “The Abington Heights Civic League Inc., has been very fortunate over the past several years to partner with Scott Bruce and Wise Crackers Comedy Clubs to provide us with the best nationally recognized comedians that are hysterical yet appropriate…”

Murray invites you to enjoy an evening out in the middle of the week and help to raise funds for the League, a 501 (c) (3) woman’s organization celebrating its 80th year of service and volunteerism to the greater Abington area. Their projects include

support of many civic group such as Abington Community Library, The Community Garden, Abington Heights Joint Recreation Board, Clarks Summit State Hospital, local parks and fire departments.

She said, “Our annual fundraiser is the primary means of fulfilling our vital mission and our ongoing efforts to improve our community. In the past seven years the Abington Heights Civic League, Inc. has donated over $40,000 to local charities, conducted vision screening on hundreds of children entering our Abington Heights kindergartens, provided affordable dance lessons to our local children and endow a number of scholarships for deserving students.”

Local businesses that have provided support year to year to the League include Cunningham & Saunders, PC, Global Risk Management, Peoples Neighborhood Bank, Citizens Savings Bank, Penn Security Bank and Senior Assistance Program.

Tickets for the Abington Heights Civic League Comedy Night are $35, pre-sale only, and are available through Nov. 11 through a civic league member or by contacting 570.677.6941.

Freshman experiencing success at Colgate

BY ROBERT TOMKAVAGE rtomkavage@theabingtonjournal.com

Jimmy McLaughlin has been a factor on the men’s soccer team at Colgate University from the moment he stepped on the field for the Raiders. The freshman with Abington Heights High School ties scored the gamewinning goal in a 1-0 victory over Jimmy Syracuse in McLaughlin the first game of the season.

“It was a great way for him to start the season, but had he not scored, I think he still would have been confident in his abilities,” Colgate men’s soccer head coach Erik Ronning said. “It’s my hope that he produces a little more for us in some key games that we have coming up.”

McLaughlin, who has started all 17 games, was already named the BRINE Patriot League Rookie of the Week twice this season. He is currently tied for fourth on the team in points with four, tied for fourth in goals with one, and tied for third in assists with two.

According to Ronning, McLaughlin impacts the team in many ways.

“He has adjusted very well to the college game,” Ronning said. “He doesn’t shy away from bigger players, he’s been able to adjust to the physical play and speed of the game, and is very confident under pressure. Those are big things for a young player.

“He creates many scoring opportunities for our team and is dangerous every time he touches the ball. If an opposing team tries to take him out, it opens up chances for others. His impact on the game goes beyond the state sheet.”

Lion reaches milestone

BY JOE BARESS Abington Journal Correspondent

LACKAWANNA TRAIL- A Lackawanna Trail High School senior reached a milestone during the Lions’ 42-6 victory over Montrose High School Oct. 28 at Lions Pride Stadium.

Senior fullback Eric Laytos surpassed the 1,000 yards rushing mark for the second straight season to help improve the Lions to 7-2.

“It’s a phenomenal accomplishment,” Lions’ coach Steve Jervis said.

“That’s not only a feather in his cap, but it’s a credit to the entire offense, especially the offensive line.”

On the Lions’ opening touchdown drive, Laytos rushed for 42 yards on three carries. Senior Josh Symuleski capped off the scoring drive with a one-yard touchdown run.

Laytos reached the milestone on a 25-yard touchdown run in the second

quarter to give the Lions a 14-0 lead.

Laytos finished the game with 115 yards rushing on nine carries and two touchdowns.

Later in the quarter, Laytos also contributed on the defensive side of the ball when he forced a fumble on a quarterback sack. On the ensuing possession, senior quarterback Caleb Darling handed the ball off to Laytos twice. The two plays resulted in 27 yards rushing and Laytos’ second

Team USA earned three medals over the weekend between 2011 Skate Canada and the 2011 Cup of Nice. Ashley Wagner earned bronze in the ladies event at Skate Canada, while Keegan Messing took gold and Mary Beth Marley and Rockne Brubaker won bronze at the 2011 Cup of Nice.

In the second ISU Grand Prix Series event of the season, Wagner was in second after the short program and finished in third overall, earning her fifth medal at a Grand Prix event in her career. In her only other appearance at Skate Canada, Wagner placed fifth in 2007.

In the men’s event, Adam Rippon a Clarks Summit native, finished fourth in the short program and the free skate to finish fourth overall and Ross Miner improved upon a ninth place finish in the short program to finish sixth overall.

BY TOM ROBINSON Go Lackawanna sports correspondent

DIMOCK – When the Class AAA boys’ race was over Oct. 26, Abington Heights High School senior Sean Burke described his plan for the District 2 Cross Country Championships.

That description sounded remarkably similar to the actual race he had just run.

“The first mile I just wanted to sit back a little bit in fifth or sixth place and kind of see what happened,” Burke said after covering a wet 3.1.-mile course at Elk Lake High School in a winning time of 16:35. “The next mile, I wanted to pick people off.

“About a half-mile from the finish, I wanted to put it all on the line.”

Burke moved up from fifth place before the midway point in the race. He worked his way to the front of the pack, then over that final half-mile, opened what wound up being a 10second margin over Valley View’s Aaron Wilkinson.

Burke and the Dallas team, which won in Class AAA boys, were the only new champions.

The Dallas girls and both Holy Redeemer (Class AA) teams repeated titles along with individuals Luke Jones from Elk Lake, Reagan Rome from Dallas and Marissa Durako from Holy Redeemer.

Abington Heights and Scranton Prep each qualified one boy and one girl for Saturday’s

touchdown of the game.

Between Laytos’ two touchdown runs in the second quarter, Caleb Darling threw touchdown passes to sophomore Jonathon Zedar and senior Matt Aten giving the Lions 28 points in the quarter and 35 points in the first half.

“Our quarterback has come so far,” Jervis said. “He did a nice job spreading the ball around tonight and he’s

The game started out slow, both teams unable to find their rhythm offensively early on. The scoring began when Michaelina Holmes received a perfect pass right through the middle of the defense from Emily Sullivan. Holmes, a freshman and starting her first career playoff game, blasted the ball past the West Scranton goalkeeper with 21:09 remaining in the first half of the game. The comets led 1-0 and never looked back as they started a shooting frenzy.

ing for the rest of the game.

Out of three total goal keepers used by Abington Heights, the only times the they were given a chance to touch the ball Thursday night were in warm-ups and an errant pass nearing the end of the game.

Comets coach ET Hunter was very proud of the way his team played for the entire game.

“It was great to see us come out in this weather and really get after it. It was obviously not the best weather to play in but our girls came out and knew what they had to do. It was really a great effort by our entire team the way they never stopped playing hard and I’m proud of them,” Hunter said.

The championship game will be played on November 3 at Dunmore High School against Pottsville High School. Hunter is anticipating the game to be a good one.

“I just got to see them play for the first time tonight. They’re really athletic team from what I could see. Our girls are going to have to be ready and I know both teams are going to come out hard.

It should be a great game,” Hunter said.

DUNMORE- The Abington Heights High School boys soccer team had some extra motivation before their quarterfinal game even began Oct. 26.

After learning that second-seeded Coughlin was knocked out of the district tournament earlier in the day, the Comets made sure they would not suffer a similar fate, as Abington Heights routed Tunkhannock, 6-2, in a District 2 class AAA quarterfinal game at Dunmore High School. The Comets improved their overall record to 15-1-1 with the victory, and advanced to the semifinals of the district tournament. Tunkhannock sees See Finals, Page 2

A failed onside kick by the Trojans on the ensuing kickoff sealed the victory for the Abington Heights Comets and gave them their first league win of the year.

Repshis was more than proud of the way his team played.

“I think everyone on our team knew we had a chance to win this game, even when we were losing. I can’t even describe how proud I am of this team. We’ve been in some close games all year that could’ve gone either way and this team deserved a win like this. I’m happy for them,” Repshis said.
