The Stark home is decorated for the holidays by Central Park Flowers. Jean Stark said, “I would have a tree in each room in Florida because we had a big house and then one year, I did a forest of trees and ever since then, I thought a forest is the only way to go because it doesn’t matter what the trees look like. Every tree is going See Glimpse, Page 10

As the Clarks Summit Centennial draws to a finish with the closing ceremony to be held Nov. 26, members of the Centennial Committee reflect on what they feel was the most memorable moment or event throughout the yearlong celebration. Charles Sandercock, Summit Frameworks, Clarks Summit Centennial Committee Member “I got involved with the Centennial Committee early on mainly because at the time I was president of the Abington Business and Professional Association (ABPA), and I was on the centennial committee to help coordinate ABPA activities with the Centennial. The Ice Festival was centennial themed. I didn’t get to all of the Centennial activities because of commitments here (at work) but events that stand out in my mind are the Ice Festival Parade, which was a lot of fun, along with the Ice Festival with the Centennial theme. They worked out well. I enjoyed the talks (historian) Dennis Martin gave and I’m hoping I can catch Charlie Kumpas’ presentation at the closing ceremony. The Ragtime Rumble was a lot of fun. It was great to see everyone and the turnout for that event.” He added, “Personally I’d like See Year, Page 10

Editor: The Chinchilla Hose Company will be initiating an Adopt a Hydrant program at the South Abington Elementary School again this year. This program allows a child (or a group) to “adopt” a fire hydrant in their neighborhood. The child (or group) is asked to keep the fire hydrant accessible to the fire department by shoveling the hydrant clear of snow. We hope that this program will increase the awareness of the important role fire hydrants play in firefighting and additionally foster volunteerism/civic participation in

the child. Some of our township hydrants have special marking poles attached to them to make them easier to see. Children should be reminded not to play with poles and to call the fire department 570.586.5726 if they see one is broken. Anyone interested in Adopting a Hydrant can pick up an Adoption Form at the Shady Lane Road Fire Station or the South Abington Township Borough Building. Adoption Certificates will be provided to those signing up in early December. Thank you, Chief Keith Grierson Chinchilla Hose Company

More than 85 were in attendance when The Abington Journal presented The R. Matthew Burne Lifetime of Service Award to A.M. ‘Oscar’ Koveleski at the Ramada, Clarks Summit Nov. 9. The 78-year-old Clarks Summit resident entered auto racing in 1950 at age 18 and went on to win the 1970 SCCA National Championship in Road Atlanta.

Over the years he has made Kidracers available at fundraising events like the Abington Community Library Pit Stop, the Clark Summit Centennial celebration in August and a Flood Relief Benefit at McDade Park. He and his wife of 59 years, Elaine, moved to Clarks Summit in 1966 where they raised their children: Anthony Robert Koveleski, Lee Ann Koveleski, Christopher Koveleski and Sharon Kelley. Guest speakers at the event included Abington Community Library Director Leah Ducato Rudolph, Clarks Summit Centennial Anniversary Weekend event co-chairs Julia Munley and Barbara Evans, Kidracer demonstrator Emily Ryan, age 8 and former Laurel Run Borough Mayor Dan Gildea.

FACTORYVILLE- At the Nov. 9 meeting of the Factoryville Borough/Clinton Twp. Joint Municipal Sewer Authority, a resolution was passed to help the borough in regard to the collection of delinquent sewer accounts. The resolution, known as Resolution Number 26, was set up for when the borough manager runs into situations of high sewer bills and no payments; the resolution gives the borough legal ground work for the proper procedure collecting fees. The resolution stated that accounts will be listed as delinquent if after 60 days following the deadline for payment, the amount remains unpaid in whole or part, and that the Treasurer shall make reasonable efforts at collecting delinquent accounts and shall send notice via certified mail. If the same account is not made current within 30 days, the property may be subject to a water shut off or the solicitor shall be directed to file a lien which shall include the amount of the debt, attorney fees, filing fees and costs. If the notice to assess attorney fees sent certified mail is not picked up within 30 days, the treasurer shall send an additional notice regular mail . . ” Finally, it was noted that when an account has a balance of over $1,000, the solicitor is directed to proceed pursuant to the Municipal Claim and Tax Lien Law. After hearing the entire resolution, Secretary/ Treasurer MaryEllen Buckbee Buckbee said, “Right now we have 50 customers that are behind in paying their bills, this year has been one of the worst years as far as collecting sewer bills. We have six customers of that 50 that are carrying huge balances and we have people with some slightly high balances, so it is all over the place. I have had people come in and set up payment plans and they are following the schedule and they are making their payments as scheduled, but then again we have some that are not paying at all, so this resolution if passed tonight will certainly help us with collection.” The board agreed to pass the resolution and hoped that the resolution would help with the collection process. In other business: The board stated it is planning no sewer rate increases and noted that the first sewer meeting for 2012 will be held Jan. 2 immediately after the council meeting.

FACTORYVILLE- Placed before the Factoryville Borough Council Nov.9 was the preliminary budget for their review and consideration for the upcoming new year. The budget does reflect an increase of 1 mil, which is an increase in the budget of $6,800 for the possible purchase of a new highway truck in a couple of years. A mil rate is based on $1 of every $1,000 in assessed tax value. Borough Manager Mary Ellen Buckbee said, “Since I came here in 1994, we have only had one budget increase and that is something the board should be very proud of. The very first increase we experienced was a huge increase, and it was in 2004 and now in this budget there is a slight increase of only a small amount. It goes from last year’s budget of 17.2 to 18.2 and that is only to help with the future purchase of a new town truck. I am very impressed with this board and how hard they have worked to keep budgets done and this is a very fair budget.” The board after reviewing the preliminary budget agreed to pass it with the final approval at the December meeting. Brought forward to the board was a report by Emergency Management Chairman Chris Bergey, who recently met with FEMA in regard to Church Hill Road and a couple other locations in the municipalities. Bergey said he was informed that FEMA will be assisting with the needed repairs on Church Hill due to the recent flooding and rain storms the municipality experienced. Bergey said there are portions of the Church Hill Road in desperate need of repair before winter, and the FEMA Representative gave permission for the highway department to make the needed repairs to prepare for winter. FEMA will complete all repairs in a few weeks. In other business: The board approved the appointment of a roads and maintenance committee to review roads in the municipality; appointed Chris Bergey as the FEMA contact person; announced that the Community Tree Lighting will be held at the town hall Dec. 3 beginning at 4:30 p.m.; appointed Sally Price to the Shade tree Commission for another five years; approved soliciting estimates to replace the carpet in two town offices and approved permission for a Zumba Class to use the town hall upon the solicitor’s recommendations.

Parenthood, Abington Style with Adriane Heine

The future is now

I seem to remember it first came up when Dani was in second grade. “Mom, can I have a cell phone?” I’d laughed out loud. “Absolutely not!” I said, and then proceeded to ask this precocious seven-year-old why in the world that was even on her young mind. “Because Kaitlyn in my class got one for Christmas…when can I get one?” she implored. “I don’t know…when you need one. When you’re not always with me…when I need to find you. Maybe when you’re ten or something.” A few days later I ran into Kaitlyn’s mom at swimming lessons. “Thanks a lot,” I said. “Now my kid wants a cell phone too. “ Kaitlyn’s mom quickly defended herself. She explained that it was time to get her older child, a middle-schooler, a cell phone, and she just couldn’t think of anything else to get Kaitlyn for Christmas. A week later I picked Dani up from a sleepover. While she gathered her sleeping bag and pillow, I asked the mom in charge how it had gone. “Well, little Maddy brought her cell phone,” she said. “It was a disaster. The only other person she knows with one is her mother, but she proceeded to text her constantly. The other girls were so enamored with her pink cell phone in its glittery case that they lost interest

in the games and crafts we had planned.” That was three years ago, when it was easy to say “no.” It made all the sense in the world. Now, however, that seven –year- old is in middle school herself. She started asking after the first day of school, reminding me I had said that ten might be the right age to get one. That, however, was when ten seemed so far away. My question, my barometer, is: does she need a cell phone? Do I need her to have one? I’ve always pushed back against technology, being the last one to own a cell phone, join Facebook and get a Wii for the kids. I want my kids to know that you don’t need to buy the newest gadget on the market to be cool…that it’s really a lot of consumerist hype to make companies rich at our expense. Purchases should be a matter of necessity not gluttony. And what about personal responsibility? When I was a kid, I might have passed a note in class, saying something I shouldn’t have about someone else. But it was only seen by a few before it was crumpled up and thrown away. These days, a misguided text can go viral in minutes, forever damaging the reputation of the sender. Isn’t that an awful lot to put on a ten year old? In addition, kids lose things. Since school started two

months ago, my children have lost a total of three jackets. If they can’t remember to put a coat on when it’s cold out, how are they going to remember their cell phone? Then a few recent incidents started to sway me. I saw a friend of Dani’s texting on the Waverly Deli porch. When I next saw her mom, I asked when they got her the phone. “We were going to wait until she turned 11,” she explained, “but then she had a bullying incident at softball. She was really scared and we were running late and we just decided to give her the phone early.” Another trusted friend had a safety-oriented story. “When I pick Susie up from gymnastics, she waits inside and looks out for me. One night I was a few minutes late and I drove up to find her wandering around the dark parking lot, peering into the windows of the cars that looked like mine. Now I text her that I am there.” A few weeks ago, Dani came home with her own story. Her entire fifth grade class had left homeroom to transfer to their science classroom. The science teacher received a call from the homeroom teacher, saying that someone’s cell phone was going off constantly in their backpack. “Everyone with a cell phone, please go back to homeroom now to check it,” he directed. Every child in the room got up and exited the classroom, leaving only Dani and her science teacher behind. She couldn’t help but stifle a giggle as she told the story, “Mom, I was the ONLY one left.”

District wins state award

A.H. grad speaks on ‘Pluto vote’ BY DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@theabingtonjournal.com

LA PLUMEAstronomer Dr. Heidi B. Hammel, Ph.D., an Abington Heights High Dr. Heidi B. School gradHammel, Ph.D. uate, will share what she has learned over the years, when she returns to the area to give two lectures at Keystone College Nov. 17. “Exploring the Ice Giants: New View of Uranus and Neptune” will be held at 12:45 p.m. in the President’s Dining Room in Hibbard Campus Center, and “Pluto: Planet or Pretender?” at 7 p.m. in Room 208 of Capwell Science Hall. “I am very excited about coming back to the area,” Hammel wrote in an email. My biggest hope is that we get a great turnout of kids and their parents for these talks. I love sharing the excitement of science and exploration with the public. This universe belongs to all of us, and I am happy to share it.” Hammel is an executive vice president of AURA, Inc., a consortium of 37 U.S. members, universities as well as educational and nonprofit institutions, and seven international affiliates. Aura operates world class astronomical observatories including the Hubble Space Telescope, the National Optical Astronomical Observatory, the National Solar Observatory and the Gemini Observatory. She said that she has been offering lectures for years, and credited her time at Abington Heights with her ability. “Much of my communication skill comes from my years in the chorus and band at Abington Heights. Our choral director, Susan Shaute, and band/orchestra director, Irene Dickinson, demanded high levels of professionalism from us even as high school kids. ‘No amateur night in Dixie,’ Miss Shaute would insist,” said Hammel. “I internalized that, and continue to bring that philosophy into everything I’ve done since, whether it is music, science, astronomy, or public speaking.” Those in the area will be able to see how far Hammel has come Thursday.

During the lecture “Exploring the Ice Giants: New view of Uranus and Neptune” Hammel will try and bring those in attendance up-todate on the latest news from the most distant planets. “Our views of the planets Uranus and Neptune were revolutionized in the 1980s when the Voyager 2 spacecraft flew by these two worlds. Since then, however, astronomers have used the Hubble Space Telescope, the Keck Observatory, and other astronomical facilities to continue exploring these enigmatic worlds,” said Hammel. “Now called ‘ice giants’ to distinguish them from their larger ‘gas giant’ cousins Jupiter and Saturn, these planets host a wealth of unusual atmospheric phenomena, contain odd interior activity, are surrounded by strange variable ring systems, and have a plethora of distinctive moons.” In “Pluto: Planet or Pretender?” Hammel will try and teach those in attendance the real story behind Pluto’s plunge from planethood. She will describe Pluto’s history and explain the science that is driving a revolution in understanding of our solar system. She will also talk about future exploration of Pluto. “At the end of the talk, we will recreate the vote that took place in Prague in August 2006 that officially removed Pluto from the ranks of the planets. Come, learn, and see how you would have decided the Pluto vote if you had been in Prague,” said Hammel. A question and answer session will follow each lecture. For more information, call 570.945.8145 or email douglas.oneal@keystone.edu.

of 1975 and 1976, and Ortiz, who is trained in bible and theology on the undergraduate level and worked in ministry as a cell group pastor but left that ministry, are credited with bringing to Kerala, India, for the first time, “dialogue on homosexuality inside the conservative churches.” Parelli and Ortiz met at Calvary Baptist Church in Manhattan. Their work in Kerala, India in July 2011 was recently featured in the September 26, 2011 issue of India Today Magazine, “Sex and the Church,” by M.G. Radhakrishanan. Rev. Parelli said, “Jose and I felt immensely proud at the Kerala, India unveiling of the book in Malayalam “The Children Are Free,” knowing we were instrumental in bringing to the Kerala Christian community this scholarly liberating study that debunks the view that Scripture condemns homosexuals. We felt we were witnessing history in the making and that we had a small but significant part in it.” He added, “We were humbled by the appreciation and gratitude shown us by the staff of Trivandrum Theological Forum (of Kerala) who had translated and published the book which we had introduced to them as they made us

an integral part of the launching ceremony of this new (to Kerala) pro-lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) religious publication.” Kerala is an Indian state located on the Malabar Coast of south-west India. According to Radhakrishanan’s article, Christians form 19 percent of the population. Rev. Parelli is the Executive Director of Other Sheep, also known as Multicultural Ministries for Sexual Minorities (MCC), which is a “mostly volunteer, non-profit (501 c.3) organization” with offices is in St. Louis, Mo. and New York City. Rev. Parelli’s ordination credentials are with MCC. Other Sheep is not a ministry of MCC; Rev. Parelli is a member of The Riverside Church, New York. Ortiz is coordinator for Africa, Asia and USA Latinos. Other Sheep was started in 1992 in Latin America, and Parelli and Ortiz came on board in 2005. Other Sheep is, as described on its website, “a multicultural, ecumenical, international Christian organization dedicated to empowering sexual minorities throughout the world. Working in an everexpanding variety of areas, languages and cultures to share the good news that God loves LGBT people as they are and calls them into inclusive communities of faith; To provide programs, support and counseling that build

self-esteem and wholeness, capacity to love and freedom to participate fully in religious and community life; To network with and equip those who seek to challenge existing prejudices and discriminatory practices, especially in the areas of theological and pastoral training, human and civil rights and HIV/AIDS prevention and care.” Rev. Parelli had this to add: “We think that gay evangelical Baptist pastors would say something that would say we gay and Christian and evangelical and Baptist pastors exist. We, gay evangelical Baptist pastors, can’t all be going wrong theologically, we can’t all be backsliding. We can’t all be living in sin….But, a Baptist evangelical can know maybe one story of one Baptist preacher, Steve Parelli who came out as a gay man, can think, ‘Look where he ended up and how did he go down that road.’ When you see how many Baptist ministers worldwide that we have met personally went down the same road, we think that sends the message: Let’s stop and rethink what might really be going on here instead of saying the evangelical Baptist pastor is choosing sin and choosing to live against God’s will in that context of the religious way of thinking.” To learn more, visit othersheep.org.

Carl Noakes, Second Vice President of the Taylor Lions Club recently presented a check in the amount of $200 to Dennis Macheska, Ransom Township Lions Club president and Joseph Fayocavitz. The check will be used as flood relief for damage to the Ransom Township Lions Club field and pavilion incurred from Tropical Storm Lee, which resulted

in more than $20,000 in flood damage Sept. 8. Noakes said, “It’s something we put together to help them with damages they incurred. It’s Lions to Lions – we help everyone and we’re helping our own. We also gave $200 to the Duryea Lions Club. We actually border Ransom Township and even though we don’t border Duryea, they incurred so much dam-

age down there that we helped them out, too. All that we ask is that hopefully our brothers and sisters in the other Lions Club can help because they need all the help they can get. It’s devastation…” Macheska said, “The club really appreciates the help from the Taylor Lions Club. Every little bit helps and it’s a great start to our restoration.”

Abington artists AUCTION work AFA Gallery’s Annual Holiday

fundraiser will be held Nov. 19 By Kelly McDonough Abington Journal Correspondent

hree Abington area artists will include pieces of their artwork at the AFA Gallery’s Annual Holiday Art Auction. The event will take place Nov. 19 with doors opening at 6 p.m. Kristie Miller McMahon of Glenburn has been creating one of a kind jewelry since 1999. “The piece I will be donating to the auction is titled “Petroglyphs,” which features Moretti glass and twisted wire beads with a sterling silver hand wrought chain,” Miller McMahon said. “I choose to donate my jewelry for this fundraiser because I want to support this key organization in our growing local arts community.” This year, Peter Hoffer of Waverly is donating a limited edition relief block print. It is one of a series of works currently included in a group exhibit at Art Works Gallery through Nov. 29. Hoffer said, “AFA is recognized as a valuable cultural community asset and it’s important that artists, members and others support the auction to assure AFA’s continued success. In addition to being our single most significant fund raising activity of the year, the Holiday Art Auction is a lively, festive event and winning bidders are able to take home quality art at very attractive prices.” President of the board at AFA, Nikki Moser of Factoryville, is donating and involved because she believes a community that sup-

She explained that underlying is the exploration of the shifts in a woman’s life as she moves through the beginning of sexuality and the culturally perceived/expected loss of that sexuality with marriage, family and maturity. The reference to mines are the war we leave behind for the next generation. The cast iron references the strength of women and the power of war. Board Member of AFA Gallery and Public Relations Coordinator for the auction Carla Williams said Peter Hoffer of Waverly is donating a limited edition relief block print ‘Watchful that the auction will feature quality work by regional artists from six Eye.’ It is one of a series of works currently included in a group exhibit at Art counties.

MORE THAN MOVIES Dietrich Theater Erica Rogler

This past weekend the Dietrich Children’s Theatre took the stage to perform “Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People’s Ears.” I must say, it was absolutely charming. The kids loved all the animal characters from the iguana to the mosquito, to the python, to the monkey, to the crow, to the rabbit, to the owl, and to the lion. Their costuming was minimal but ever so effective. (Thank you, Sarah Henn) And I just loved when the cast sang their African song as a gift to the sun. These performances were followed by discussions with Fiona Powell of WVIA. And as with most folk tales, there was much to discuss. The kids talked about the difference between telling a story and telling a lie, and taking responsibility for their actions. Pretty heavy stuff, right? But when delivered through the vehicle of a staged folk tale, these tough topics, become easier for children and adults to approach. We would like to thank the Pennsylvania Humanities Council for their funding, and Jennifer Jenkins for writing and directing such a marvelous show. If you missed this production, don’t worry, you will still have a chance to see the Dietrich Children’s Theatre perform in December. Join us on Friday, Dec. 9 at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 10 at 11 a.m. for their production of “Lon Po Po: A Red Riding Hood Story From China”. For these productions, we will travel to the Chinese countryside where three small children bid farewell to their father as he travels overnight to visit their sick grandmother or “po po.” The children are cautioned not to open the door to anyone, as there might be a wolf, or “lon” lurking about. But when there is a knock on the door late at night, is it their po po – or is it really an evil lon po po instead? Admission to these shows will also be free. Tickets are available by calling the Dietrich at 570.996.1500 or at the door. For adults, the Tunkhannock Public Library and the Dietrich Theater will be hosting a book discussion on Stieg Larsson’s novel The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo tonight, Nov. 16 at 7 p.m. at the Tunkhannock Public Library. I can’t wait. There will be so much to See Dietrich , Page 13

Hundreds of images depict the events, the people, the weapons and technology, and the key moments and critical points in the build-up to war, the war itself, and its aftermath. From the build-up of hostility in the years after World War I, through the first German victories in Europe to the escalation of global conflict to include the United States and Japan, and eventually the final collapse of the Axis powers, this book provides the complete picture of the conflict across all theaters.

It traces the course of military, strategic and political events across the globe, documenting the experiences both of combatants and civilians. “American Women and World War II,” by Doris Weatherford. The author relies extensively on contemporary news reporting, magazine articles and personal diaries to chart the experiences of typical American women as they undertook a whole range of new responsibilities to contribute to the all-out war effort. The book focuses on the four broad areas of their involvement, including the nurses who traveled the world to help wounded soldiers; women in the armed forces; women in industry; and women at home, the housewives and mothers whose daily life changed for the worse as they faced wartime shortages or were called as volunteers on the homefront.

‘A Christmas Story’ comes to life at Providence Playhouse

WWW.THEABINGTONJOURNAL.COM PAGE 13A

ABINGTON BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION

Children’s Holiday Coloring Sweepstakes

BY DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@theabingtonjournal.com

Over the years, viewing the motion picture “A Christmas Story” has become a Christmas holiday tradition for many. And with multiple television channels airing the film regularly from now until the holiday, it’s a tradition that’s been made very easy to continue. In order to keep it from getting stale, Actors Circle is offering area residents a chance to see the classic story in a brand new way, live, starting Nov. 17 at the Providence Playhouse. The theater group will hold a staged reading of “A Christmas Story” Nov. 17 to 20 at the theater in Scranton. Adapted for the stage by Phil Grecian, the play’s story is very close to the movie, said director Cathy Rist Strauch. Set in the 1940s, the show tells the tale of Ralphie Parker and his quest for a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. While audience members will be familiar with the plot, Strauch said she feels the experience they get from the play will be something new. “Anytime you can get out and see a live show, the energy you give the actors comes right back to you,” said Strauch. “Even seeing that same show each night, you get a new show. Even with the script, things will change, because of that nuance. For two hours you are part of the action, as opposed to just sitting and watching it.” Strauch first staged “A Christmas Story” at Actors Circle in 2002 after her stepson, Ken Strauch, a fan of the movie, suggested that it would make a good Christmas show. He was right. Strauch said the staging in 2002 was very well received and she had a feeling it would return to the

talk about. After all, the book is filled with intrigue, family drama, a love story and murder. I could barely put it down when I was reading it and of course I had to get my hands on the second book in the trilogy immediately after finishing the first. It will be interesting to hear what others think of the main characters Lisbeth and Mikael, their moral codes and more. I know our discussion facilitator Bill Chapla will have lots for us to talk about tonight. And while this novel will probably never be considered a great piece of literature, it definitely is an international sensation that will continue to grow with Hollywood’s release of the film version in December. Admission to the discussion is free, and stay tuned for information about the Dietrich getting the film version. As you can see, the Dietrich is so much more than the movies!

theater company’s schedule at some point. “My husband (Jim Strauch) made the leg lamp from scratch for the show,” said Strauch. “I saved it, knowing one day we’d bring it out again.” And that day is quickly approaching. The cast had a limited rehearsal schedule, due to the Actors Circle’s production of “Hay Fever,” which closed on Nov. 6. Strauch realized she wasn’t going to have a lot of time to prepare for the performance when looking at the schedule, so she decided to put the piece on as a staged reading, but said she’s using the term loosely. “Even though it’s called a staged reading, it’s not your typical staged reading,” explained Strauch. “The play will be acted out, and we’ll have sets, costumes, sound. The actors will just have scripts in hand.” “And, the kids in the cast are so smart they’ll probably have their lines memorized anyway.” The show has a large cast of children, which is something Strauch said she always looks

They’ve been a big help.” Strauch added that rehearsals have been going well, and that she’s is looking forward to seeing the first performance. “It’s definitely a show kids are going to want to see.”

Effect of RUM

Pages & Places at The Everhart Museum, 1901 Mulberry St., Scranton, will offer those in the area a chance to meet Ian Williams Nov. 18, the author of “Rum: A Social and Sociable History of the Real Spirit of 1776.” In the book Williams describes how rum and the molasses that it was made from was to the 18th century what oil is today. Rum was used by the colonists to clear Native American tribes and to buy slaves. To make it, they regularly traded with the enemy French during the Seven Years’ War, angering their British masters and setting themselves on the road to Revolution. The regular flow of rum was essential to keeping both armies in the field since soldiers relied on rum to keep up their fighting spirits. Ian Williams’ book triumphantly restores rum’s rightful place in history, taking us across space and time, from its origins in the plantations of Barbados through Puritan and Revolutionary New England, to voodoo rites in modern Haiti, where to mix rum with Coke risks invoking the wrath of the god, and across the Florida straits where Fidel and the Bacardi family are still fighting over the rights for the ingredients of Cuba Libre. Liverpool born and educated, Williams is a freelance writer specializing in activist journalism. Twice president and twice vice president of the United Nations Correspondents Association, he is a regular contributor to The Nation, China Economic Review, Middle East International, Salon, Open Democracy, AlterNet, and other publications. In August 2005 Avalon Books published Williams’ fourth book Rum, the social and sociable history of the real Spirit of 76, on the forgotten role of Rum in World History. As a longer term project, he has been working on a novel set during the naval wars in the Caribbean during the Napoleonic era and has been conducting his research in tandem with his explorations of rum and its role in history. He has written about rum for the Financial Times, Cigar Aficionado, Carib News, Carib Impact, and Maxim magazine among other publications and has spoken about its developmental importance at several Caribbean conferences.

Scouting Scene With Tyler VanGorder

Cooking skills at work

All ABOARD Canadian Pacific Railway’s (CPR) U.S. Holiday Train will visit northeastern Pennsylvania on Nov. 26 at Steamtown National Historic Site in downtown Scranton from 5:45 to 6:15 p.m., and visitors are advised to plan to arrive at least 15 to 30 minutes early. The train will then depart Scranton for Binghamton, New York on the former Lackawanna Railroad’s mainline, expecting to cross the historic Tunkhannock Viaduct between 7 to 7:15 p.m. Now in its 13th year of operation, the CP Holiday Train program, powered by an army of employee volunteers, has raised more than $5.6 million and almost 2.5 million pounds of food donations for local food banks nationally. In 2010, the train raised over 2,000 pounds of food and collected $433 in cash donations in addition to a CP corporate contribution of $1000 to the United Neighborhood Centers of Northeast Pennsylvania. The musicians, who ride in vintage private cars at the end of the 14-car train, hop out and climb aboard a boxcar in the middle of the train that opens to reveal a stage where they will perform a live holiday concert and invite visitors to sing along.

Headlining this year’s musical spirit of the season is Willy Porter, a top-10 staple on Triple AAA radio stations across the country. Accompanying Porter is Canadian born singer songwriter and country and folk musician, Sydney Grigg. This year, the Holiday Train is launching an activity program aimed to increase awareness of hunger issues by making children part of the solution. “Decorate & Donate” is a fun and educational way for schools and families to help feed their communities. All donations raised in our community stay in our community. To participate: 1. Print and decorate one or more of the Holiday Train designs available at the www.cpr.ca ; click the Holiday Train link and click on “Decorate & Donate” on the right side of the screen. 2. Wrap art around an empty box to be filled with food or cash donations. 3. Take a picture of your artwork and send it to the web site – they will post it on the “Decorate & Donate” photo gallery. 4. Bring the filled “Decorate & Donate” boxes on Nov. 26 and present them to the United Neighborhood Centers representatives. For more information, visit the Holiday Train page at www.cpr.ca.

Park to buy safety equipment with funds

ABINGTON JOURNAL/JOAN MEAD-MATSUI

The Masons, Abington Heights Civic League and Abington Youth Soccer League have provided the Abington Area Community Park with donations to be used toward the purchase of safety equipment. Rowland offered CPR classes to the three groups who provided funding for park safety equipment to reinforce the value of public safety for park visitors. Shown from left, standing along the shoreline of Eston Wilson Lake at the Abington Area Community Park in S. Abington Township are Mark Huggler, Worshipful Master of the Free and Accepted Mason’s Lodge #301 of Waverly; Ronda Schiavone, Abington Heights Civic League; Tim Rowland, Community Life Support Ambulance and Mike Hargrove, Abington Youth Soccer League.

The month of October for Troop 160 was a fun one. This month we tried to instruct the scouts in special types of cooking. This mostly included Dutch oven cooking. A Dutch oven is a big cast iron pot. These have been used for centuries and can cook almost anything. They cook the food by charcoal briquettes evenly spaced on the top and bottom of the pot. The number of briquettes varies on what one is cooking. We started the month with a very informative lesson from one of our boy scout’s fathers. We even had him help a patrol of scouts cook apple cobbler for everyone to eat. It was very good. Our skills were even further tested this month at a campout held at Goose Pond Boy Scout Reservation. The scouts camped in one of the campsites used for summer camp. The scouts cooked apple cobbler, beef stew and corn bread in Dutch ovens. The scouts were also able to do some orienteering during the day. In October, Troop 160 held its annual Halloween Party. Every patrol created its Halloween game that scouts would play for candy prizes. The games ranged from throwing balls into different sized pumpkins to getting wrapped in toilet paper like a mummy. The scouts and

their families came and everyone had a good time. What’s a Halloween party without a good costume party? The scouts wore several costumes. Some of these included Rambo, a cowboy and a ghost. This month we unloaded most of the gear from our summer camp trailer. A lot of the adults loaded their pickup trucks with gear and brought it to the church. The gear was then loaded into our troop closet so we could use the gear throughout the year. We are very thankful that we had a lot of help from the adults. Remember a scout is courteous.

Blue Devils defeat Lions

Mountaineers turn a pair of early Prep turnovers into touchdowns in the rout. BY JOHN ERZAR jerzar@timesleader.com Sports Reporter

DALLAS – Opportunities came early this time around against Scranton Prep. And once again, Dallas wasted little time capitalizing. Prep had turnovers on its first two possessions and Dallas turned them into touchdowns on the way to a 39-6 rout of the Cavaliers in a District 2 Class 3A semifinal high school football game Saturday afternoon, Nov. 12. Dallas improved to 10-1 and will host Valley View (10-1) at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 19, for the championship. The Mountaineers are in the title game for the second time in three years. They last won a district championship in 1999 when they defeated Valley View 7-0. Prep ended its season at 7-4. “The matchup with these guys is tough for us,” Prep coach Nick Donato said. “They’re really no excuses. We had a good week of practice. But right from the get-go, we dug ourselves a hole early and couldn’t get out. I think Dallas had a lot to do with that.” The Mountaineers defeated Prep in Week 2 of the season 48-20 by taking control at the end of the first half and the beginning of the second. On Saturday, they grasped momentum early. Prep fumbled on its first play from scrimmage as tight end Pat Fricke, who caught the game-winning TD pass last weekend against West Scranton that clinched a D2-3A spot, lost the ball after a 10yard reception. Dallas’ Shane Dunn recovered and made a short run to the Prep 39-yard line. Five plays later quarterback Ryan Zapoticky tossed 5 yards to receiver Paul Brace for a touchdown. Brace picked off a pass the next time the Cavaliers had the

Lackawanna Trail eliminated from district playoffs By Joe Baress Abington Journal Correspondent

OLD FORGE- Lackawanna Trail senior full back Eric Laytos ran for 191 yards in its district playoff game at Old Forge Friday, Nov. 11, but he needed a few more in the Lions’ 10-7 loss to the Blue Devils. Lackawanna Trail faced a 4th and 7 on Old Forge’s 30-yard line with less than a minute remaining in regulation. Lions’ senior quarterback Caleb Darling handed the ball off to Laytos, but Old Forge stopped him short of the first-down marker to secure the victory and advance to the district championship game against Riverside. The loss ended 11 Lackawanna Trail seniors’ high school football careers.

“I’m going to miss them so much,” Lions’ coach Steve Jervis said. “We really have a family here and the seniors were a big part of it.” After allowing 37 points in its first meeting against Old Forge this season, the Lions held the Blue Devils to one offensive touchdown. “I think it helped playing the same team twice,” Jervis said. “Our kids hustled, played fast and really played super on defense.” Old Forge kicker Matthew Mancuso broke the scoreless tie with a field goal late in the third quarter to give the Blue Devils a 3-0 lead. Lackawanna Trail answered

with a 64-yard touchdown drive on its ensuing possession. The Lions converted twice on third down and once on fourth down to keep the drive alive. “Our kids are very gutsy and have a lot of pride,” Jervis said. “They played their hearts out.” Laytos capped off the drive with a four-yard touchdown giving Lackawanna Trail a 7-3 lead with 8:34 remaining in the game. The Lions forced Old Forge to punt on its next possession, but failed to put the game away when the Blue Devils recovered a fumble with 4:38 left in the game. See Lions , Page 2

GAR lights up Lakeland, advances to district final Abington Crawford’s four touchdowns help team in continuation of Friday’s suspended game.

BY MATTHEW SHUTT For The Times Leader

WILKES-BARRE – GAR turned on its offense as quickly as the lights turned out the night before, converting its first offensive possession of Saturday afternoon’s game into a touchdown after only five plays and kept the scoring coming in a 42-21 defeat of Lakeland in the District 2 Class 2A semifinal tilt at Wilkes-Barre Memorial Stadium. With the win, GAR (10-1) advances to the district final, pitting the Grenadiers against Wyoming Area at WilkesBarre Memorial Stadium Friday night, Nov. 18. “It was a weird situation to play last night and have to come back,” said GAR head coach Paul Wiedlich

through a handful of Lakeland would-be tacklers for a 21-7 lead. Lakeland answered with its next possession, marching 13 plays in 66 yards that ate up almost seven minutes of action before Kiehart barged into the end zone from two yards away. Aside from cutting into the lead, Lakeland’s long drive kept GAR’s big-play offense off the field until TIMES LEADER PHOTO/ DON CAREY there was just a minute to Darrell Crawford #8 of GAR runs away from Lakeland defender go in the half, effectively Cody Delfino on his way to a touchdown late in the third quarter keeping the game within of a game Saturday, Nov. 12. reach at 21-14 with two quarters to play.

Wright sandwiched two fourth-quarter scores around a 100-yard kickoff return touchdown from Lakeland’s Ryan Nichols, the only offense the Chiefs could manage against GAR’s defense. “The past few weeks now our defensive line has really started to take charge,” said Wiedlich Jr. “They’re really doing one heck of a job up front and every time they do that we’re going to be in a good position to win.”

outplayed in playoffs BY TOM ROBINSON Go Lackawanna sports correspondent

SCRANTON – Abington Heights High School soccer coaches Steve Klingman and E.T. Hunter saw stretches of the first round of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association playoffs where their teams were able to battle with some of the state’s top Class AAA teams from the Philadelphia suburbs. Ultimately, their opponents were much more accustomed to the high level of play and consistently maintained control. Central Bucks East, a state finalist last season, won a state first-round game by shutout for the fifth straight year when it eliminated the Comets, 3-0, in the second game of a doubleheader at Memorial Stadium Tuesday night. In the opener, Strath Haven shut out the Lady Comets, 2-0. See Outplayed , Page 2

Running for a cure Whitney Lukas of Scranton will be among 25,000 people from across the country and around the world to be part of the 18th annual Philadelphia Marathon Nov. 20. The 19 –year- old is taking on this physical challenge to honor her aunt, who was diagnosed with multiple myeloma a few years ago. This will be Lukas’ first event with Team In Training (TNT), The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s sports endurance training program. Team In Training was suggested to Lukas earlier in the year when she was thinking about participating in a marathon. She asked her friend and she trains for marathons and she said Team In Training. “With Team In Training you get to accomplish something you never thought was possible to do on your own, while also having a chance to make a difference in the lives of other people,” said Lukas. Participants have the option of running or walking a full or half marathon, cycling a 100-mile century ride, or completing a triathlon. In addition to weekly training sessions under the guidance of a certified coach, TNT offers clinics on nutrition, equipment, injury prevention and safety. Participants are also given tools to help them fundraise. TNT also arranges airfare and lodging to send participants to the event of their choice. Teams are now forming for the spring season, which includes St. Anthony’s Triathlon, BMO Vancouver Marathon, and New Jersey Marathon at the Shore. For additional information, please call the Eastern Pennsylvania Chapter at 610. 238.0368; or visit www.teamintraining.org/epa.

Despite an injury that kept her on the sidelines for much of the season, Druther was still able to cover the 60000meter course in 24:31 to finish 50th overall. She was followed in the Royal lineup by sophomores Mary O’Neill (Middletown, N.J./Middletown North) and Abigail Kearns (Scranton/Holy Cross) in 57th (24:41) and 97th (25:26).

Sophomore Ariana Moliere (Brockton, Mass./Fontbonne Academy) and junior Shannon Lavelle (Hicksville, N.Y./Holy Trinity) rounded out the Royals’ top five in 171st (26:29) and 182nd (26:43. In addition, freshman Elizabeth Joyce (Stroudsburg /Stroudsburg) competed for Scranton today and placed 221st in 27:41. Sophomore Taylor Ludman of runner-up Dickinson College won the individual title in 22:33. With three runners finishing in the top 10, Johns Hopkins won the team championship with 78 points, followed by Dickinson (99), Elizabethtown (108), Haverford (120), and Grove City (289).

OUTPLAYED Continued from Page 1 Strath Haven held Abington Heights without a shot for 46:54 from just before its first goal until right after its second. Central Bucks East held Abington Heights without a shot for the last 19:10 of the first half and the first 12:30 of the second half. That stretch ended with the Comets getting two strong opportunities to tie the game. Passes by Brian Mattern and Tommy Steinbach set up a quality chance for Kevin Elwell inside the penalty area. Jacob Nesteruk deflected Elwell’s attempt. Matt Hoyt got to the rebound. Nesteruk tipped Hoyt’s shot just enough that it rolled about a foot wide of the left post. “The kid came up with a big save,” Abington Heights coach Steve Klingman said. Nesteruk made one more tough, sprawling save on Elwell with 19 minutes left while protecting a two-goal lead. The bulk of the chances, however, belonged to the Patriots, who compiled a 24-6 advantage in shots and 9-2 in corner kicks. Those advantages were 17-2 and 9-1 in the first half. “At the state level, Double-A to Triple-A is a big step,” said Klingman, whose team made its last state appearance in Class AA in 2009. The Comets play Class

CAVALIERS Continued from Page 1 ball as neither Prep receiver in the area was looking when quarterback Tom Timlin threw the ball. Zapoticky scored on a 6-yard run soon after, completing a brisk 51-yard scoring drive for a 13-0 lead at 5:03 of the first quarter. “It was really important,” Dallas running back/linebacker Jim Roccograndi said of getting the quick lead. “Prep is a good football team. They beat Valley View. We knew coming in we wanted to get up quick.” Dallas also got up big by halftime, punching in two more scores for a 26-0 lead at the break. The Mountaineers went on another quick scoring drive on their next possession, with Zapoticky scoring on a 7-yard run for a 19-0 lead after one quarter. Fullback Garrett Artsma, who has received more carries in recent weeks, had a 38-yard run on the second play of the drive. “We wanted to establish being a physical team,” Dallas coach Ted Jackson said.

AAA opponents in only some of their Lackawanna League Division 1 games and don’t meet any who are potential state threats. “They play at this level most of the matches they play,” Klingman said. “It’s not just the size of the schools, but the level of play. “Day in and day out, they’re seeing games that are tough games.” Central Bucks East’s Sean Jenkins had a hat trick, scoring on headers in each half before adding a late penalty kick for the third-place team from District 1. The Abington Heights girls had not been challenged often during an unbeaten season in which they outscored 16 opponents 72-5 while

winning Lackawanna Division and District 2 Class AAA titles. “I knew it would be a much harder team that we faced all year, but I also know that the girls have that ability in them,” Hunter said after Strath Haven scored a goal midway through each half and outshot Abington Heights, 16-3. “Not having that competition all year sets us back whereas they play at this level every single game in their league. “Our playing level is on par with their playing level, but the amount of time that they get on that plane is just so much more important.” Kirsten Miller and Hart Clemens scored for Strath Haven.

“They’ve been playing great and we wanted to see if we could match up. I mean, they shut down Valley View, they pounded Delaware Valley during the game. So we wanted to see if we could be more physical.” Dallas scored again the next time it had the ball. Zapoticky hooked up with receiver Jason Simonovich on a 26-yard TD pass, completing a 12-play drive and giving the Mountaineers a 26-0 lead. In all, Dallas scored touchdowns on six of its first seven possession of the game. The only time the Mountaineers didn’t was at the end of the first half when Zapoticky knelt down twice to run out the clock. Zapoticky was sharp once again, connecting on 10-of-13 passes for 125 yards. The first-year starter boosted his touchdown pass total to 22 on the season. He also went over 1,500 yards passing. Roccograndi finished with 126 yards on 15 carries, marking the seventh time he has gone over 100 yards in a game this season. Prep prevented a shutout with a touchdown late in the game against the Dallas reserves.

Two members of The University of Scranton softball team have been recognized for their achievements in the classroom. Senior catcher Ashley Vosilla, of Dix Hills, N.Y. and senior infielder/pitcher Kelly Zaccheo, of Scranton were recently named Scholar-Athletes by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) for the 2011 season. To qualify, a student-athlete must have a cumulative grade point average of at least a 3.5 on a 4.0 scale. In three seasons, Vosilla, a nursing major, has started 66 of 74 games and holds a career batting average of .328, with 11 home runs, four doubles, and 48 RBI. She has also hit safely in 41 games, including 17 multi-hit games, and is currently sixth all-time in Royals’ history in home runs. This past season, Vosilla batted a career-high .394, with two doubles, three home runs, and drove in 17 runs to earn first-team all-Landmark Conference honors. She was also a second-team all-conference selection in 2009 and has been named to the conference’s Academic Honor Roll in each of the past two seasons. Zaccheo has started 85 of 88 games. She holds a career pitching record of 8-10, with a 3.49 earned run average in 116 1/3 innings of work. During this span, she has struck out 51 batters while walking only 19. When not on the mound, she has played extensively at shortstop and holds a career batting average of 226, with seven doubles and 17 RBI. Zaccheo, who majors in biomathematics and philosophy, is a two-time member of the Landmark Conference Academic Honor Roll. This past spring, the Royals finished with 18-14 overall record, including a 7-5 mark in the Landmark Conference, under then head coach Colleen Moyer. Scranton also qualified for the Landmark postseason tournament for the third time in four years.

The Flood Plain Management Ordinance has been reviewed by the township’s engineer and solicitor; both have made their comments and the ordinance has been forwarded to the Planning Commission. It has been advertised for public hearing and passage in a meeting Nov. 28, at 7 p.m. The 2012 budget is being finalized for the proposal to be advertised. The Supervisors will advertise for community members to comment. A public hearing will be scheduled for Dec. 12 to decide how to proceed based on comments from residents. Supervisor Douglas Klamp added that they are trying to build a capital fund for projects and

equipment that requires attention during the year. They are also looking at changing the sewer fees for next year. The addressing issue is still at a standstill. Senator Pat Toomey received an unsigned letter from Harrisburg stating that municipalities need more than one zip code since there is more than one municipality with the same name. White said he does not know what to do at this point except to continue the pursuit. Atty. Andrew Hailstone suggested forwarding the letter back to Senator Toomey along with contact information for Harrisburg. The matter was discussed at the Oct. 31 meeting as well. .

Supervisor Thomas Durbin added, “We owe our residents some explanation of what’s going on.” Their course of action on Oct. 31 was to compose a letter to the community, contact their resources if there is no cooperation or progress, send the letter. A resolution has been sent to the Planning Commission for the flood plains. An email was received from Ned Slocum, Waverly Township’s engineer who reviewed the plans and shared his comments. Presently the Supervisors have sample drafts of the new flood plain and they plan to advertise for a public hearing for the ordinance.
