DALTON- Dalton Police Chief Chris Tolson said the car crash that took the life of Dalton resident Michelle Costello, 51, is still under investigation. Costello was the passenger in a Jeep Compass traveling north on Wilbur Hilll Road in West Abington Twp., on Tuesday, Nov. 29. The driver lost control of the car and hit a tree at 10 a.m. Costello was ejected from the car as a result of the collision and was pronounced dead at the scene from multiple traumatic injuries by Lackawanna County Coroner Tim Rowland. The driver, Costello’s daughter Alicen Costello, 19, suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to CMC by ambulance. According to Costello’s obituary, printed on page C3, a Mass of Christian Burial was held for her on Friday, Dec. 2 at the Church of Saint Benedict, Newton Ransom Blvd., Clarks Summit.
Guests fill the Scranton Cultural Center for the Waverly Community House Annual Sustainers’ Holiday Dance.

MEET THE PRESIDENT
The power of art BY KELLY MCDONOUGH Abington Journal Correspondent
President of the AFA Board Nikki Moser believes art is an important part of our daily lives and that everyone should embrace it. “Everyone should have art in their house and be comfortable with it,” Moser laughed. “And art, especially during bad economic times like we’re going through, is even more important and powerful than ever.” Moser has been president of the AFA Gallery in Scranton for three years and is looking forward to possibly serving another one-year term. When asked why she wanted to be president, Moser said, “I was the gallery coordinator and the president prior to me was stepping down and asked if I was interested in the position. I felt
strongly about how AFA is such a fixture in Scranton. It was an exciting opportunity to get the message out everywhere. I looked at our membership and started really reaching out to college students and high school kids as well as the community at large.” Moser raved about the gallery’s number one fundraiser of the year. Having just finished the Holiday Auction, she said it was really festive and everyone had a great time. She felt the food was great and she couldn’t stress enough how people were really generous, including the artists who donated their work and the people digging deep in their pockets to buy art. Moser explained how the auction is sort of a pay day. The rent is minimal, thanks to the building’s owner Peter Cupple. But

ABOUT THE PRESIDENT ... Interests and hobbies: Chocolate, flea markets, sewing and I’d love to have a huge green house/laboratory some day I’m inspired by: Everything and everyone. For me, making art is responding to the world around you, connecting the threads Favorite place in the world: Cabo Pulmo, Mexico Favorite book: Well, I may have hit the 1,000 books in the house mark so this is a tough one. Top five right now, “The Paper Bag Princess,” “Ferdinand the Bull,” “Practical Demon Keeping,” “Your Inner Fish” and the catalog for the Alexander McQueen exhibition My greatest achievement: That my kids eat curry and are good travelers, and that once in a while a student will tell me (years after the fact) that some thing I said changed their world My idea of a perfect Saturday afternoon: An impromptu pancake/sleigh riding brunch with the goddesses (my best girlfriends) and a half dozen kids or an afternoon of art/music and good food One item I can’t leave home without: Voluspa Cocoa Tamarind perfume.
Fire cancels classes
Fire forces Keystone College to close four buildings. BY DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@theabingtonjournal.com
LA PLUME - Keystone College was forced to close the Art Center, Holman Design Studio, Theatre in Brooks and Oppenheim Family Children’s Center following an early morning fire Wednesday, Nov. 30. Fire officials have not yet determined the cause, but according to the college’s Senior Director of College Relations, Fran Calpin, flames broke out around 5:30 a.m. in the kiln area of the Art Center. Campus security called for help and fire crews from Dalton, Factoryville and Chinchilla arrived on the

he Scranton Cultural Center hosted the Waverly Community House Annual Sustainers’ Holiday Dance on Saturday, Dec. 3. Paul LaBelle and The Exact Change provided entertainment for the black tie event that took place in the center’s grand ballroom. “It is an opportunity for the community of donors and volunteers who support the Comm throughout the year to get together to kick off the holiday season and have some fun,” said Waverly Community House Executive Director Maria Wilson, of the dance which has been offered for the last 35 years.

Lackawanna County’s Adopt an Angel Program has a pressing need for sponsors. The annual program provides holiday gifts to youngsters in foster care or who receive services from the county’s Office of Children and Youth. Currently, sponsors are needed for over 100 children and youth. “We’ve never had to turn kids away,” said William Browning, Lackawanna County Human Services Director. “That would be unprecedented. We’re getting a little nervous.” Last year, the program served 877 youngsters from birth to age 21 through the generosity of local residents. Every attempt is made to match sponsors with a child of the preferred age and gender, although an exact match might not be possible because of the number of children served. Sponsors
receive a letter to Santa from their child and are asked to return the gifts to Children and Youth’s fourth floor office at 200 Adams Ave., Scranton, by December 14. In order to ensure that all children in a family receive an equitable amount of gifts, sponsors are asked to spend approximately $100 per child. Since not everyone is able to afford that amount, potential sponsors are urged to join with others rather than sponsoring a child individually. The program also accepts monetary donations, a new unwrapped gift or a gift card. Each and every contribution is greatly appreciated. To be a part of this longstanding tradition, contact Gloria Liuzzo at 963.6781 ext. 1301, and provide a name, address, phone number and preferences for age and/or gender.

Summit, has been a apheresis donor for more than 10 years. “I gave over 17 gallons of blood and found out my wife had ovarian cancer,” he said.

The process takes two
hours, and Berardelli feels it’s something money can’t buy. “There’s no pain and the nurses are very kind and gentle, and they have a TV set up for you and movies for you to watch while you’re doing something the good Lord gave you,” he said.” It’s just giving your time and something you can readily share with those in need.” Robert Barry, of Clarks Summit, is a dedicated apheresis donor. , “It’s incredibly important for people with chemotherapy,” he said. “One

Waverly Community House welcomes new development and marketing director BY JOAN MEAD MATSUI Abington Journal Correspondent
For Denise Reinhart, the Waverly Community House (Comm) is a “wonderful treasure” and her goals as the recently-appointed Comm director of development and marketing are to increase both community awareness of all the Comm has to offer to families and individuals residing in our area, as well as to increase donor support. “The Comm has always been a special place,” said Reinhart, a native of Chinchilla. “As young teenagers, my sister and I would ride our bikes from Chinchilla and meet our friends at the Comm. The Comm provides a safe and beautiful place for people of all ages to gather, learn and have fun. Visitors to the Comm at 1115 N. Abington Rd. in historic Waverly may already know Reinhart through her work as executive assistant, a position she held from December 12, 2005 until her promotion in August. Shantel Subnaik, from St Croix, replaced Reinhart as executive assistant. “She’s bright and a quick learner and is a great addition to the Comm staff,” Reinhart said of Subnaik. One of Reinhart’s most rewarding accomplishments while working at the Comm “was finding all the previous recipients

DGK Insurance and Financial Services team members include, from left, Heather Percival, Beth O’Malley, Kathleen Glattly and Anna Jenkins.
A wealth of experience BY ANDY DAVIS Abington Journal Correspondent
FACTORYVILLE - DGK Insurance and Financial Services is an insurance agency that doesn’t lack experience. Founded in 1917, DGK’s mission, according to the company website, is “to be a professional employee-owned company growing without geographic limitation, dedicated to providing peace of mind to our clients through financial strategies, diversified insurance products and other related services.” Serving 5,000 individuals and 2,000 businesses in 16 counties, DGK is also a member of the national Trusted Choice SM program to help serve its clients. A key to the success of the company, according to Anna Jenkins, director of marketing at DGK, is the work experience of each of the employees. Nineteen employees, 14 of whom are women, have more than 265 years of combined work experience. “We have people that have been here for over 25 years who are in our ‘Over 25 Club’ and we’ll have more club members on the way,” Jenkins said. Heather Percival, a sales agent at DGK, is one of the “newbies” at the organization-with a little over one year of experience at DGK. “When they call me a “newbie” it’s because I really am new compared to most of the people here. They all have so much experience,” Percival said. DGK is also fully owned by its employees -- developing an ESOP (employee stock ownership plan) in 1986 and it is something CEO and President Kathleen Glattly feels makes her agency special. “We’re more than just a working team. We’re a family and we love each other just like a family would. Since we all own part of the company and have a vested interest in it, I think it makes us work even harder to make it successful,” Glattly said. DGK provides insurance

and financial services to a wide variety of groups with specific needs. Just some of the options provided are for big businesses, small businesses, farm owners and even nonprofit organizations. The company will meet with a new client for a free evaluation and then based on the needs will offer a full range of personalized products for that client. A slightly new aspect of DGK is their Risk Management program. While the company has always used risk management in the past in combination with some of its different coverages, now DGK is performing risk management individually. “Everyone has different needs and we’ve found there is a big need for risk management and in the past we have always used it, but now we’ll meet with someone to discuss risk management and help them find insurance without necessarily providing it,” Stahlman said. DGK also makes sure their clients are given certain conveniences that other insurance companies might not include. The company’s services include a toll-free phone number, as well as the agents home phone numbers and email addresses to provide round the clock service. “When DGK started out in 1917 it was known as Davis and Jones Insurance. Now we have a fourth generation Davis working with us and we still like to think of ourselves as a family owned businessjust with a lot more families,” Glattly said.

Money Matters
Horses pull a wagon at Tunkhannock’s Christmas in Our Hometown.
With Jamie Kresge
New baby? Make a new financial strategy
When baby makes three, budgets sometimes fly out the door, lost in the rush of diaper changes and middle-of-thenight feedings. We all know babies are not cheap and thinking about college tuition sends that figure significantly higher. If you haven’t adjusted your financial strategy to accommodate the needs of your future heirs, here are some key considerations to keep your long-term financial security intact: Up the ante on life insurance Once you become a parent, it is crucial that you make adequate provisions for your child should one or both parents die. But how much insurance do you need? You’ll need to consider things like your earnings and the total amount of your household debt. It’s also a good idea to provide enough to cover the costs of college tuition for each child. If only one parent works outside the home, be sure to calculate the cost of hiring fulltime childcare should the stayat-home parent die prematurely. Once you own a life insurance policy, be sure to update your beneficiary designations after the birth of each child. The price of higher education One of the most common questions new parents ask their financial professionals is, “When should we start saving for college?” And the universally agreed upon answer is: when the child is born. When it comes to the skyrocketing costs of higher education, time and compound interest can definitely work in your favor. And, thanks to provisions in the tax law, there are a couple of attractive college savings options such as state offered “Section 529 plans” and “Coverdell Education Savings Accounts” that can offer significant federal and state tax advantages. Claim those deductions Diapers, pre-school programs, school supplies, braces, daycare - there’s no question parents deserve a financial break. The good news is the government offers several tax breaks for parents that are worth exploring. A common one that many people neglect to take advantage of is a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) offered by many medium to large-size employers. These employer-sponsored plans typically allow you to sock away as much as $5,000 of pre-tax money for child care expenses, reducing your adjusted taxable income. Some employers even offer a company funds match. If you don’t work for a company that offers an FSA, take heart. You may qualify for a child-care tax credit if both parents are working and your child is under age 13. The credit is a percentage (based on your adjusted gross income) of the amount of workrelated child and dependent care expenses you paid to a care provider. The credit can range from 20 to 35 percent of your qualifying expenses. Keep in mind these tax breaks are either/or – you can’t use the same expenses for amounts disbursed from an FSA and to take the
child care credit, too (if you have two or more qualifying individuals and $5,000 in an FSA, you can take credit for up to $1,000 additional expenses not covered by the FSA; with one child, if you put less than $3,000 into the FSA, additional expenses over the FSA amount are eligible for credit but only for the difference between $3,000 and the amount in the FSA). Another big tax perk: The $1,000 annual child tax credit which applies to children under age 17. Couples filing jointly who have one child and earn no more than $110,000 can claim the full credit. The child tax credit is scheduled to drop to $500 in 2013. Put it in writing: The need for a will New parents may assume they don’t need a will because they have minimal assets. But asset disbursement is not the sole reason for a will. This type of document is essential for you to designate a guardian for your child in the event you die before that child reaches adulthood. An attorney can draft a will for you in which you name an executor who would pay your debts and distribute your assets, and to name a guardian for your children. If you have special concerns, such as the support of a minor or disabled child, you may want to set up a more complex estate plan that includes a custodial account or a trust. Your new bundle of joy came into the world with nothing but a birthday suit, but the next 18 years will prove anything but expense-free. Adequate planning now can keep that small addition from creating big financial headaches later. College savings plans offered by each state may differ significantly in features and benefits and the optimal plan for each investor depends on his or her individual objective and circumstances. In comparing plans, each investor should consider each plan’s investment options, fees and state tax implications. State tax treatment varies. For withdrawals not used to pay for qualified higher education expenses, earnings are subject to income taxes at the account owner’s rate plus a 10% federal income tax penalty. Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks and charges and expenses associated with municipal fund securities before investing. More information about municipal securities is available in the issuer’s statement. The official statement should be read carefully before investing.

Davis also suggested that council should consider refinancing a $1.5 million 10-year loan it took out in 2010 to reach a settlement with landowner Peter Amato after he successfully sued the borough when officials closed a portion of Grandview Street to traffic in 2003. Johnson was pleased with the job done by those who worked on the budget for the 2012 year. “The personnel that worked on the budget did a commendable job,” he said. The draft budget for the sewer rate is currently at 43 EDU’s, which would be an increase of 6 percent, according to Kehoe.
Kehoe announced that Clarks Summit Council held a joint meeting with representatives from PennDOT and Clarks Green to discuss the stormwater runoff from Fairview Road. “The state, via, PennDOT, installs and maintains the state roads and puts in the stormwater systems,” she said. “Once they are in, if you are a borough they become your responsibility. If you’re a township, they continue to be the state’s responsibility. Also, a lot of the pipes go underneath the road and dump into the municipalities.” According to Kehoe, the three parties talked about working together on a grant for
stormwater controls. “The ideal situation would be to bring a parallel stormwater system down South Abington Road, but PennDOT doesn’t have the money,” she said. “If they work together with us along with Clarks Green, we might be able to get an H2O grant.” Kehoe also announced that the finance committee suggested the fee for pave cuts be raised to $200 and that council is working to have its code enforcement officer oversee all cuts.

Local Christmas tree growers host fundraiser for LTHS students A group of Lackawanna Trail High School students got in the holiday spirit by spending the day at Conifer Corner, a Christmas tree farm in Clinton Township to raise money for a cause. Conifer Corner opened its doors to the students so they could make wreaths to sell for a fundraiser for the school’s music department. Cathy Strauch, secretary of Lackawanna Trail’s Friends of Music, met up with the owners, Eric and Deanne Garver, of the local tree farm at a Lackawanna Trail Craft Fair and spoke to them to see if they could work something out to provide the wreaths. The couple agreed to host the fundraiser and let the students help in making the wreaths. Students who took part in wreath making were Casey and Kerrigan Buck; Taryn and Lauryn Maleski; Cecilia, Janine and Allison Strauch; Amanda and Chris Stutzman; and Gary Weidner. Conifer Corner sells pre-cut and choose and cut Christmas trees of several varieties as well as handmade wreaths and centerpieces. It also sells
Christmas ornaments and gift items as well as its own raspberry jam. Customers can enjoy free homemade cookies and hot beverages while waiting for their tree to be baled and placed in their vehicle. The farm is located on Route 6 west of Factoryville near the intersection with Lithia Valley Road. For more information, call 945.5225.

it concluded there is no danger from electrical wires near the tree. She asked borough if it would remove the tree; however, since it’s in an undedicated alley, it can’t take action. “There is nothing the borough can do, Kehoe said. “In the past, the borough had always worked with trees that are in the public right of way, but it became impossible to afford.” According to Kehoe, the Shade Tree Commission was established in 2005-06 to prioritize the worst trees in the public right of ways. Kehoe said she would contact chair Donna Zagrapan to see if it has any money in its budget to help Klein.

Students, faculty and staff members kick off the holiday season at BBC&S Annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony.
Tree lighting begins Christmas events
Traditions were renewed at Baptist Bible College and Seminary (BBC&S) with the annual Christmas tree-lighting ceremony, held on Nov. 29, to kick off the holiday season on campus. The Christmas tree that stands by the stairwell near the Jackson Hall Rotunda is a nine-foot Douglas fir from Roba Family Farms in Dalton. It was selected and taken to campus by Wayne Stevens, Director of Facilities Administration. The tree’s adornment was added by Ross Janowski, Chad McCall and Tina Lysak, members of the campus facilities team. BBC&S President Jim Jeffery and his wife, Bert,
who have been hosting the annual Christmas event for a decade, led the time of celebration, which included carol singing, reading of the Christmas story and refreshments. Pictures from the treelighting ceremony may be viewed at www.facebook.com/BaptistBible. Christmas decor has been added to many areas on campus, including light posts and windows, with lights, evergreens and festive colors. Offices and hallways are decorated with trees, lights, ribbons and garland to spruce up buildings. Upcoming Christmas events include winter concerts on Dec. 9 and 10. The BBC Music Depart-

This month’s meeting of The Abington Council of Governments drew no quorum. ACOG had hoped to vote in 2012 officers. Ballots were collected and voting will continue when enough members are present to vote. During the meeting, ACOG discussed possibilities for upcoming speakers for the meeting and community projects. Chuck Wrobel, of Factoryville, mentioned the importance of shade tree planting as well as water barrels to aide in water run off prevention. “Rain barrels would be a nice start. Then you can go into water gardens,” he stated. Wrobel went on to explain that water barrels are emptied slowly over time and can be used to water plants in a garden. ACOG secretary Marnie O’Dea Palmer added, “We need some kind of a project… something that would make a mark on the community.” The Abington Council of Governments meets the first Thursday of every month at 7:30 at the Clarks Green Borough Building.

favorite part was “bringing in these really cool pajamas.” Her Christmas wish for the girl who receives them is that she gets a book she likes and a new home. The students expressed many such wishes, echoing the purpose of Scholastic’s Pajama Program. According to a September 2010 Scholastic press release announcing the program’s 10th anniversary, it all began in New York City when “one New York woman noticed children in shelters and group homes sleeping in their clothes because they didn’t own even one pair of pajamas. She filled a shopping bag with new sleepwear and books and began to hand them out to the youngsters, many of whom were abused, abandoned or neglected. Her non-profit Pajama Program marks its first decade of service in 2011.” Julian first learned of the program from a flyer that came with her class’s Scho-
lastic Book Club order and decided to try it. After last year’s overwhelming response, she decided to expand it this year. “We live in a very caring community,” Julian said, “and I thought the Pajama Drive was an ideal opportunity for our students to help other children in need, especially during the holidays.” She especially likes the fact that Scholastic matches each pair of pajamas with a book. Pajama Program founder Genevieve Piturro said in the 2010 release, “For so many needy and abused children, winter means endless cold and scary nights. The winter season is a particularly critical time when these children are most vulnerable to serious colds and illnesses. Warm, clean pajamas help to protect them against night chills and harmful conditions. Emotionally, pajamas are a hug for children who feel lost and alone.” Julian and her students

“Buzz out bullying” is the theme of this year’s “Say No to Bullying and Yes to Love” talent show to be held at the Waverly Community House on Dec. 9 from 7 to 9 p.m. Organized for the third consecutive year as a senior project by Abington Heights High School students, the show will be hosted this year by Chloe Maloney and John Milliken. Maloney said that kids have dreams and when they are bullied, they start to doubt themselves and those dreams are diminished along with their self-esteem. The show also raises money for the Parents Loving Children Through Autism Foundation (PLCTA), a nonprofit organization that gives presentations at local schools, not only on autism awareness but also on bullying. Kathleen Walsh, founder of PLCTA, said bullying is a major problem among today’s youths, affecting children as early as first grade. Two of the things she thinks chileren need are compassion and passion. When they aren’t passionate about something good, she said, they focus their energy instead on lashing out at each other.
Walsh said her goal is to “bring awareness to the problem,” but that can’t be just a one-time thing. The teaching compassion, she said, “needs to be non-stop until we see a change.” Maloney agreed, adding that she hopes the project will be continued by others after she graduates. It has become like a torch, first lit by Maloney’s sister, Chelsea Maloney, along with Milliken in 2009, passed to Marquis Ivey in 2010 and now in the hands of Chloe Maloney. Each year, the show evolves into something a little different than the previous year as new hosts and performers step up to the stage. Maloney said there are 11 individuals and groups signed up with a variety of acts, ranging from singers and dancers to a crew of rappers. This year’s message of following your dreams and putting an end to bullying will also be presented during the show by its hosts. “I am a peace spreader,” Maloney said. “I look forward to getting up in front of the audience and spreading love.” Cost is $5 for adults and $3 for students and children. The Waverly Community House is located at 1115 N. Abington Rd., Waverly. To learn more about the PLCTA, visit plcta.org.

Dear Santa,
SCRANTON – Millions of people across the country heard President Barack Obama’s speech at Scranton High School on Wednesday, Nov. 30, but only those in the room could shout their concerns and encouragement to the commander in chief that frenzied afternoon. The 44th president of the United States used much of his 30-minute speech to tout his American Jobs Act and urge Washington to extend a oneyear payroll tax cut that will expire at the end of the year. The speech was often localized, relating what these taxes mean to the average Scrantonian, and his rally cry to ask “our wealthiest citizens to pay their fair share” in taxes provoked consistent cheers and applause from the reported 1,950 people in the gymnasium. Opening with “Go, Knights!” referring to the high school’s mascot, Obama thanked city resident Donna Festa for allowing him to visit her East Elm Street home before she introduced the president onstage at 2:34 p.m. “Come to my house!” a woman yelled. “Next time,” Obama retorted with a smile. Bringing greetings from Vice President Joe Biden, a Scranton
native, Obama cited the Festas as an example of a typical middle-class American family, but noted that they have good, “steady jobs” while many have it “a lot tougher.” “A lot of you watched your incomes fall or your wages flatline. Meanwhile, the costs of everything from college to health care were all going up. And then, after all that, the financial crisis hit because of the irresponsibility of some on Wall Street. And that made things a whole lot tougher,” he explained. “There’s a sense of deep frustration among people who’ve done the right thing, but don’t see that hard work and that responsibility pay off. And that’s not the way things are supposed to be, not here in America.” Obama sent the American Jobs Act to Congress two months ago, which “independent economists said…would create up to 2 million jobs,” but Republicans in the Senate blocked it. Mentioning another Scranton-born politician, he said Democratic Senator Bob Casey is “already on the program.” “(Republicans) refused to even debate it. Even though polls showed that two-thirds of Americans of all political stripes supported the ideas in this bill, not one single Republican stepped up to say, ‘This is the right thing to do,’” he said, which was met by boos from the audience. Deflecting Republican criticism labeling him as a “tax and
spend liberal,” he noted that taxes on the average middleclass family are lower now than when he took first office in January 2009, giving “working families” a $1,000 tax cut in 2011 that is set to expire in about a month. “Instead of a $1,000 tax cut next year, the typical working family under my plan would get a tax cut of $1,500,” Obama said. “If you’re a small business owner, my jobs bill will cut your payroll taxes in half. So if you’ve got 50 employees making $50,000 each, you’d get a tax cut of nearly $80,000.” The president pointed to Scranton’s history of immigration, with “each successive generation doing a little bit better” by doing their part while “looking out for one another” and compared this to the “simple choice that’s facing Congress right now.” “Are you going to cut taxes for the middle class and those who are trying to get into the middle class? Or are you going to protect massive tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires, many of whom don’t even want those tax breaks?” he questioned. “(Republicans) may have voted ‘no’ on these tax cuts once, but I’m already filled with the Christmas spirit. I want to give them another chance. I want to give them a chance to redeem themselves.” Balancing his serious plea with lighthearted jokes throughout, he told the audience to send the Senate a message this holiday season: “Don’t
be a Grinch.” “Don’t vote to raise taxes on working Americans during the holidays. Make sure to renew unemployment insurance during the holidays,” he continued. “Stop saying ‘no’ to steps that would make our economy stronger. Put our country before party. Put money back into the pockets of working Americans. “Do your job. Pass this bill.” Obama’s Nov. 30 message may have fallen on deaf ears as the Senate voted 51-49 in favor of the Middle Class Tax Cut Act of 2011, falling nine votes shy of the required 60 for the bill to pass. Pennsylvania’s senators split their votes as Casey, the sponsor of the legislation, voted in favor and Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Zionsville, voted against it.

I came across the following quote from Albert Einstein and liked it: “If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” I agree with Einstein; folk tales are wonderful tools to use to learn about the human experience. They can teach us about courage, honesty, responsibility and so much more. Their themes tend to transcend culture and time and can be enjoyed by folks of all ages. For the past year, the Dietrich Children’s Theatre has been presenting stageversions of folk tales from around the world to the community. These productions have prompted audience discussions about many universal topics and have taught us about Russian, Native American, West African and Indian cultures. To close out the year, the Dietrich Children’s Theatre will take us on another adventure with its production 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. to attend a free performance. During this show, we will visit 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? Tickets are free to this production as well and can be picked up at the Dietrich Theater ticket booth or reserved over the phone by calling 996.1500. We would like to thank the Pennsylvania Humanities Council for sponsoring these performances. In addition to presenting live theatre on December 10, the Dietrich will also host a Kundalini Yoga donation class with instructor Melissa Russo from 10 to 11:30 a.m. During this class, you will be invited to experience the gifts that Kundalini yoga has to offer as you explore breath, movement

Art Walk welcomes artists of all ages BY JOAN MEAD MATSUI Abington Journal Correspondent
By Mary Ann McGrath Abington Community Library patrons busy shopping for the holidays can put driving time to good use with an audio book selected from the year-end bonanza of titles just added to the “Talking Book” adult collection. The following halfdozen are just samples of the more than 100 new titles on the shelf: “Sacred Hearts,” by Sarah Dunant --The year is 1570 and in the convent of Santa Caterina, Serafina, the 16-year-old daughter of a noble family from Milan, willful, emotional, sharp and defiant, fights against her incarceration. Meanwhile, outside the convent walls, the Counter Reformation begins to purge the Catholic Church and impose on the nunneries a regime of oppression. “Running from the Devil,” by Jamie Freveletti -- Thrown, unhurt, from the wreckage of a hijacked plane in the mountains near the Venezuelan border, Emma Caldridge can do nothing but watch as guerillas take the other passengers hostage. Using her prowess as a marathon runner and her scientific knowledge as a chemist to stay alive, she discovers an injured passenger, secret government agent Cameron Sumner, separated from the group. Finding Emma and Sumner depends on the Department of Defense, whose officials turn to a former military officer, Edward Banner, for help. “The Paris Vendetta,” by Steve Berry -- Only by matching wits with a terrorist-for-hire, foiling a catastrophic attack and plunging into a desperate hunt for a lost treasure secreted by Napoleon Bonaparte can Copenhagen bookshop owner Cotton Malone hope to avert an international financial anarchy. “Fatal Secrets” by Allison Brennan -- FBI agent Dean Hooper has been chasing Xavier Jones for years on moneylaundering and tax-evasion charges and doesn’t need or want an Immigration and Customs Enforcement senior agent, Sonia Knight, second-guessing his every move. The Bureau is ordered to join forces with ICE, implementing a team effort by Hooper and Sonia. “My Name is Memory,” by Ann Brashares -- Daniel Grey has “the memory,” the ability to recall past lives and he has spent centuries falling in love with the same girl. Life after life, he and Lucy Broward have been drawn together only to be torn apart. From 552 Asia Minor to 1918 England and 1972 Virginia, the two souls share a long path of seeking each other. “The Gift,” by Cecelia Ahern -- Lou Suffern is immune to the holiday spirit that delights everyone around him, but one frigid morning, he uncharacteristically buys a cup of coffee for Gabe, a homeless man huddled outside his office building, and then prolongs his charitable streak by getting Gabe a job in the mailroom. Disturbingly, Gabe always seems to be in two places at once, resorting to unorthodox methods to show his patron what truly matters and how precious is the gift of time. Library Sock Tree Donations of socks for infants, toddlers and young children (to age six) can be made at the library during December. The socks can be hung on the tree in the Children’s Room as decorations. After the holidays, they will be sent to St. Joseph’s Center, Dunmore, for distribution through the Mother/Infant Pantry. The Abington Community Library is located at 1200 W. Grove St., Clarks Summit. Visit our website, www.lclshome.org/abington to register online for events or call the library at (570) 587-3440.

Deadline approaches for Belin scholarship
At Kathleen Barrett’s art studio in the lower level of the Waverly United Methodist Church at 421 S State St., students have been preparing for the upcoming Second Friday Art Walk to be held in Clarks Summit on Fri., December 9, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The art walk is hosted by the “Arts Council of the Abingtons.” In her studio approximately one month ago, a group of art students ages 6 through 15, contemplated, sketched and painted. They were seated at the long tables or positioned with paintbrushes in hand at easels scattered throughout the room. Natural light flooded the room as Barrett, a full-time artist, guided her students through a natural progression. “I thought that it (the art walk) is a perfect way to showcase my students’ work. I want to give my students that full experience: making their work, being creative and then putting it out in the world and getting feedback from people who are viewing it (the art) fresh for the first time. I love that whole notion. The Christmas card painting class is going to do prints of the paintings and we’re going to have Christmas cards to sell because I like them to have that notion that they can make a sale from their art. I like them to have the full experience of being creative. I thought the holidays are the perfect opportunity so they’re going to bundle them in sets of
The Dietrich Children’s Theatre will take us on an adventure to China with its production of Lon Po Po: A Chinese Red-Riding Hood Story at the Dietrich Theater in Tunkhannock. Performances are at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 9 and at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 10. Performances are free and open to the public. The folk tale adapted for the stage and directed by Jennifer Jenkins contains words in Mandarin Chinese and reinforces valuable lessons about telling the truth and what real courage is. “We like to take ancient stories that cross all cultures and show kids how a familiar tale like Red Riding Hood might be told in China,” said Jenkins. “It’s good for them to experience how children from different backgrounds are similar to them in thoughts and feelings.” Characters are played by local actors Laurel Radzieski, Doreen Schottman, Rich Ryczak and David Swanson. Radzieski, a graduate of Keystone College, has appeared in other Dietrich

Mediums to be represented will include oil on canvas and gouache on canvas, some drawings in graphite and charcoal on different types of paper, and painted furniture. “The first student show we did (in July) was tremendously successful,” Barrett said. One of her students, 12-yearold Phillip Misterman of Clarks Green was working on
a winter scene, an oil painting on canvas titled, “The Scout Friend or Foe.” “Mrs. Barrett told me there was going to be a winter show so I decided to do a winter scene and I thought I’d do something from American history,” Misterman said. In addition to the student exhibit at the Moore Building, Charles Charlesworth, co-chair of the arts’ council board of directors along with Charles Sandercock, announced three new venues will participate in the art walk: Steve Pronko on State Street, Duffy’s Coffee Shop and Danielle and Company.

Quality entertainment at a responsible price those in the area seem to agree, as the event has become a much anticipated event for many since its inception. “It has grown…and the audience has grown,” Cohen said. The project has also grown in scope. In addition to the musical artists, starting in September the library also started hosting different visual artists. Their work is featured at the library during the performance. This month the library will showcase the work of Leigh-Ann Sjogren. “It really speaks to the mission of the project, which is to have the library serve as a hub for the arts, music, the visual arts and literature,” Cohen said. Now that the program is really starting to grow, Cohen said her hope is that it can continue. Up until now, Second Saturday has been funded mainly by grant money. At the time of this interview the library was waiting to hear if they were approved for another grant that would fund the program. But for now Second Saturday is alive, and Cohen

The play, written by Marsha Norman, is frequently described as a play about suicide.
Although the play does indeed deal with suicide, it is about a lot of things, most particularly control -- who has it, who wants it and the extent a person will go to obtain it. Show dates are scheduled for May 10 to 13 and 18 to 20. The Providence Playhouse is located at 1256 Providence Rd., Scranton. For more information, call 587.5922.

‘Meet the Lions’ at LTHS
Lackawanna Trail High School will introduce the public to this year’s boys and girls basketball teams tonight. BY JOE BARESS Abington Journal Correspondent
LACKAWANNA TRAILLackawanna Trail High School will showcase its boys and girls basketball teams at its annual Meet the Lions event and fundraiser at 7 p.m. tonight, De.c 7 in the Lackawanna Trail High School gymnasium. The event gives parents, students and fans of the Lions’ basketball program an opportunity to meet members of both teams at the varsity, junior varsity and junior high levels. “We have players’ family and friends as well as students come,” said boys varsity basketball coach Andrew Kettel. “It’s just a fun night of basketball before all the games and everything starts.” Before the introduction of team members, the Lackawanna Trail Elementary School teachers will face off against the junior and senior high school teachers in a basketball game. Player introductions will follow the faculty basketball game. After player introductions, the teams will participate in drills. “We tried to mimic Midnight Madness (University of Scranton event) where a couple nights before we play our first game we introduce the guys and girls teams,” Kettel said. A DJ will provide entertainment for the event which also includes a 50-50 raffles, prizes and snacks. Kettel initiated the Meet the Lions event five years ago when he started coaching the boys varsity basketball team. “My first year I had the idea to just try to get some community support behind the team and bring some excitement to our basketball program and to the season ahead of us,” Kettel said. “It has See Lions , Page 2

Several upperclassmen return to swimming and diving teams CLARKS SUMMIT - Abington Heights has a lot of experienced athletes returning to its boys and girls swim teams. The Comets return senior swimmers Seth Pinches and Toli Epsom and senior diver Dan Jasinski, junior swimmers Tom Jubon, Jason Kohn, Pat Conahan, Matt Pettinato and Matt Bruzzano and sophomore swimmers Matt Remus, Dan Stevens and Walker Kay. “The boys team has a lot of kids with a lot of talent that decided to be serious this year,” said co-head coach Mary Gromelski. Swimmer Steve Sorokanich and diver Zach Burns were the only boys to graduate off last year’s squad. The Lady Comets return senior swimmers Emma Gromelski and Vanessa Lempicky, senior divers Quinn Gibbons and Marisa Gretz, junior swimmer Kristie Furiosi, sophomore swimmer Krista Brickel and sophomore swimmer/diver Annie Gromelski. Coach Gromelski is also excited about the group moving up from the Abington Gators. “The girls freshman class has talent, depth and discipline,” she said. “I can’t wait for our first meet to see how they perform.” Diver Katy Bills and swimmers Karlie Jaeger, Kim Barren and Rebe Sproul graduated from last year’s girls’ team. The teams’ first meet will be Dec. 9 at home against Holy Redeemer. “I expect to see school records broken this year,” Gromelski said. “We have a lot of talent and depth. If we can stay healthy, I think we can go far. “Our team is focused and everyone has been swim-

ming for a long time. They have dedication and a good work ethic. They are not just really good swimmers; they also excel in academics, music and art. It’s very much a well-rounded team.” First-year coach Mike Labagh is excited about the talent and mindset of the team. “I was very impressed with how disciplined the swimmers were,” he said. “We have a very hardworking group. After the first practice, I saw how they had all the fundamentals down. That makes it easier to help them refine their strokes. Hopefully, we will see a lot of improvement throughout the season.” The girls’ and boys’ teams will look to build off

THE END OF the season will determine which teams are champions. It’s no coincidence, however, that on an annual basis the high school basketball teams that end up being champions seem to keep finding each other at the start of the season. Soon enough, the top teams will be fighting for division titles and playoff seeding, then eventually district championships and state tournament berths. First, however, they have to get through the openers. Part of what has made the non-league portion of the schedule so interesting in recent years is that the best teams have been so willing to jump right into strong competition. It certainly helps that, unlike in football, losses in early non-league games do absolutely no damage to playoff hopes. Nonleague games count in the overall record,

It’s pretty cool,” said center Stephen Miller. “It was really cool getting to learn the history of how basketball started,” said Sweppenheiser. “I liked seeing the Michael Jordan stuff. They had a big exhibit on him and that was cool.” In addition to the educa-
tional value, the trip also gave this year’s Lions team a chance to get to know one another and bond as a team. “With the New York trip, everyone sits on the bus and goes down and everyone is kind of in their own group. But with this, we were all in a hotel together, so I think it was more like team bonding,” said Sweppenheiser.
“Everyone mixed in with everyone. We wouldn’t normally have hung out with the freshmen as much as we did down there. It was a good team-bonding trip overall.” The Lions are hoping that team bonding will equal success on the court, as they start their season on Friday, Dec. 9 when they take on Tunkhannock on the road.

Fans can meet the boys starting five as well as the other basketball players and coaches at Lackawanna Trail. All of the proceeds raised from the night go to the basketball program. The boys basketball team starts its season at 7:15 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 9 at Tunkhannock High School. The girls’ basketball team will play at 7:15 p.m. Monday, Dec. 12 at Western Wayne High School.

teams. The Crusaders won the first-half title in Division 2 last season when Abington Heights tied for second place in the second half in Division 1. Scranton and Holy Cross are facing the tough 1-2 punch of following up a Friday night opener with a Saturday afternoon game. After playing Holy Redeemer in the opener, Scranton will come back against Pocono Mountain West. Last season, when the Knights lost only two other games – by two points in overtime and by four points – Pocono Mountain West ripped Scranton, 71-49, in the same situation. Holy Cross is home Saturday against defending Division 3 champion Lackawanna Trail, which won the first-half title in Division 3 last season. Holy Cross junior Josh Kosin, one of the area’s top big men, will be put to the test against Lackawanna Trail 7-footer Steve Miller. The Crusaders have a different challenge in the opener trying to contain J.C. Show, who averaged 15
points per game for Abington Heights as a freshman. Lackawanna Trail is at Tunkhannock Friday night before taking on the Crusaders the next afternoon. The girls have a highprofile opener as well, although West Scranton and Dunmore will wait until Dec. 11at 1:15 p.m. to open their seasons. The rare Sunday game features teams that won both division and district titles. West Scranton is trying to replace heavy graduation losses from its Lackawanna Division 1 and District 2 Class AAA champions. Dunmore will be without four-year starter Ashley Murray, but otherwise has much of the lineup back from a team that won Lackawanna Division 2 and District 2 Class AA titles on the way to an appearance in the state championship game in State College. The marquee openers will not decide anything. They will, however, give the best possible preview of what can be expected in the season ahead.
