CLARKS SUMMITCouncil voted to raise taxes 7 percent in 2012 with the provision that the budget be re-evaluated in January when new council members are sworn in. Returning members of council, including president Gerrie Carey, are hoping the newcomers have fresh ideas to help the borough avoid cutting additional services and lower the taxes. “We, as a council, have to figure out ways to maintain our services and bring more revenue into town,” Councilman Herman Johnson said. “We have to be creative and think outside the box to eliminate our deficit problems.” A 1.75-mill tax increase passed 6-0 on Dec. 8.Councilwomen Barbara Evans was not in attendance. A mill is $1 in tax for every $1,000 assessed in property value. New council members Don Moyer and David Jenkins voiced their displeasure with several items in the budget. “I’m totally against the elimination of the leaf pickup,” Moyer said. “I’m also against raising the sewer bill and eliminating the chief’s position.” Jenkins agreed that the decision to eliminate the chief’s position is not wise. “I think the police chief’s job is a very important job in the community,” he said. “If the public sees we have a department without a chief of police, I don’t think that’s a good image to put forth.”
According to Kehoe, council is not eliminating the position; it is just not replacing Vitale immediately when he retires in April. “Right now we’re budgeting on the side of conservancy,” she said. “We didn’t put money away for a replacement right away, but it’s not a permanent decision not to have a chief once he retires.” Jamie Kresge, owner of Abington Financial Group, strongly recommended that the borough do an audit on the more than two months to cash the checks at his business in South Abington Twp. “There is a lot of money still out there that is owed to the borough,” Kresge said. Johnson said council raised the issue to the Council of Governments (COG), but couldn’t generate enough municipalities to check into the issue. He suggested Kresge attend the next COG meeting to state his concerns. Council approved, by a unanimous vote, Ordinance 2011-6, authorizing the borough to accept the bid from PNC Bank for its $300,000 Tax Anticipation Note (TAN) at 1.99 percent interest. PNC offered a rate of 1.99 percent with a $500 commitment fee while Fidelity Bank offered a rate of 2.29 percent with no commitment fee. Kehoe said the PNC bid would offer a savings of $400. Council approved the 2012 See BUDGET, Page 7

Road to Eagle Scout arduous, but rewarding BY ROBERT TOMKAVAGE rtomkavage @theabingtonjournal.com
Scoutmaster Gary Katz has led Clarks Summit Troop 160 for the past five years. The Scouts who spent countless hours working toward their Eagle badge under his guidance have joined elite company. “I think the perseverance part of it is most important,” Katz said. “It’s not an easy process; it’s a long road. In the history of Scouting in America since 1910, there have been two million Eagle Scouts out of about a billion boys who have been Scouts. “If you don’t want it, you’re not going to get it,” said Katz. “It’s easier to quit.” Boys join Scouts at about 11 years of age and go through a number of ranks, starting with the fundamental ranks of Tenderfoot, Second Class and First Class. The next two ranks of Star and Life take more dedication to achieve. “Star and Life are where the scouts really start learning their leadership skills,” Katz said. Star is awarded when the Scout serves actively in the troop in a position of responsibility for at least four months, performs at least six hours of community service and earns six merit badges. Life is awarded when the Scout serves actively in the troop, serves in a position of responsibility for six months, performs six hours of community service and earns an additional five merit badges to make a minimum total of 11. “Once they hit Life is really where the rubber hits the road,” Katz said. According to Katz, Scouts then need to find a service project in the community. Once they get approval for their project, they get the Scoutmaster’s approval, as long as everything meets the criteria. At that point, the boys start their project paperwork which takes one to three months. Once the project is approved by the Scoutmaster, it’s sent to the Council office.
After the project is approved by the Council, the Scout can start. Once the project is finished, the Scouts must complete paperwork to bring it full circle. During the process, the Scouts needs to earn a minimum of 21 merit badges, 12 of which are required (camping, citizenship in the community, citizenship in the nation, citizenship in the world, communications, environmental science, family life, first aid, personal fitness, personal management, emergency preparedness or lifesaving, cycling or hiking or swimming.) Scouts can choose from over 100 elective merit badges for the others. “The average Scout usually winds up with around 26 or 27 badges before they go to Eagle, some have much more, some just have 21,” Katz said. “It depends on how ambitious they are.” Once all the paperwork and merit badges are done, Scouts can fill out the application to become an Eagle Scout. After that, they have a Scoutmaster conference. “This is where we really talk about what an Eagle Scout is and how they should conduct themselves for the rest of their life,” Katz said. Once the paperwork is turned into the Council office, the Scout meets with three to four people from the community and sits in front of a chairperson for about 45 minutes where he must answer questions. If the review is favorable, the Scout will be awarded the Eagle badge. “Scouts have to be awarded the badge because it can’t be earned,” Katz said. “The average Scout usually makes Eagle between 16 and 17 years old. Some take a little longer and some can do it a little quicker. The youngest scout I’ve had was 13, but we’ve had others that have been over 18.” Scouts can continue in Scouting after getting their Eagle by earning bronze, gold and silver Eagle Palms. They can earn multiples of each by being active in the troop or active in Scouting and by

continuing to earn merit badges. After earning the Eagle award, Scouts need five more merit badges to earn bronze, five more for gold and five more for silver. Troop 160 has averaged about seven Eagle Scouts a year for the last five years, according to Katz, who said only about 3 percent of Scouts earn their Eagle badge and thinks the service project is the hardest part of the process. “I think that’s the hardest thing for them to understand,” he said. “The project is labor intensive, it drives them crazy. Doing the project is the result, but leading the project is the lesson. You have to learn how to do the project, and then you have to execute it.” Tyler VanGorder, a Life Scout, is currently going though the Eagle Scout process. He joined Cub Scouts in first grade and crossed over to Boy Scouts in fourth or fifth grade. VanGorder’s favorite aspect of Scouts is the camping trips where he can bond with members of the troop. “That’s the best part,” he said. “They are just a lot fun. You’re with your friends and you learn some Scout skills. I think most Scouts will say that summer camp is their favorite because it’s a sevenday camping trip.” The Scouts have enabled the Abington Heights sophomore to become more outgoing and confident. “I consider myself a relatively shy person, but being in Scouts, I’ve been able to take a leadership role and instruct others,” he said.

A Pennsylvania State Trooper died Saturday morning, December 10, after apparently shooting himself in the parking lot of the Troop P Tunkhannock State Police Barracks in Tunkhannock Township. State Police said Trooper Craig Venesky, 42, of Clarks Summit was found in the barracks parking
lot on State Route 6 at 2:45 a.m. Saturday. State police said they are investigating the shooting but that no foul play is suspected. Venesky enlisted with the state police on September 11, 2000, according to state police. State police have not released additional details about the incident.

The Clarks Summit Police Department is still investigating four break-ins that occurred in the Clarks Summit area in late November. Both Dino and Francesco’s Pizza-Pasta, a restaurant located at 1002 S. State St., and Nearly New Outlet and Consignment Shop, located at 100 Old Lackawanna Trail, reported burglaries on Wednesday morning, Nov. 23. The following Sunday, Nov. 27, Nickie’s Fabulous Hoagies, located at 611 S. State St., and Fiorillo’s Pizza, located in the Summit Square Plaza, reported burglaries. Mike Fiorillo, owner of Fiorillo’s Pizza, said the burglars broke into the restaurant through the back door and stole $100. Tom Parry, owner of Nickie’s Fabulous Hoagies, said the burglars entered by prying open the back door of Pru-
dential Preferred Properties and making their way into his store through a side door that connects the two businesses. Parry was unaware of the specific amount of money taken, but knew it was less than $100. Nothing was stolen from Prudential Preferred Properties. Shelley Robinson, owner of Nearly New Outlet & Consignment Shop, declined to comment on what was taken, but said the burglars also entered her business by prying through the back door. Police Chief Lou Vitale said all four burglaries are still under investigation, but declined to comment on whether or not he thought they might be related. “The Clarks Summit police are handling it,” said Parry. “Chief Vitale has been great to us, and I’m sure him and his department will get it solved.” Dino and Francesco’s could not be reached for comment.

Bellissimo Pizzeria & Ristorante at 223 Northern Blvd., Clarks Summit, will host a fundraiser for the Kane Family on Monday, Dec. 19, from 6 to 9 p.m. Tickets for the event are $20 and include a buffet dinner. Raffle baskets will be available. This fundraiser is focused on Amy Kane, who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma at the age of 16. At that time, she had surgery to remove tumors. After the birth of her second
daughter, her cancer metastasized to her right lung. Since that time, she had surgery in 2008 and 2009. Kane has been undergoing chemotherapy since May 2011 when CT scans revealed tumors on her right lung and her heart. Kane is now battling Stage 4 osteosarcoma (bone cancer). Donations of raffle baskets and other items are being accepted. To arrange a pick-up, or for more information call 215.913.1725.

quire for his Eagle Scout requirements. For his project, VanGorder painted tables, repaired and pained benches, and built and painted garbage containers at Comet Park. “It’s a long process with all of the merit badges, camping trips and all of their requirements, but it’s a very fun one,” he said. Troop Commander Joe Gronsky, who earned his Eagle badge in 1970, gives a message to Scouts who earn their Eagle badge. “I tell them as much as they appreciate their accomplishment now, the older they get the more they will appreciate it,” he said. “Scouting is fun when you are young, but when you look back as an adult, you realize it prepared you for life.”
Hang up the wreath The Clarks Green United Methodist Church held its annual Advent Workshop and Hanging of the Greens party after worship service on Sunday, Dec. 4. The education department organized crafts for children and a special wreath project for adults while others decorated the sanctuary for the Christmas season. A soup and bread luncheon was held in the fellowship hall which was also decorated with a Christmas tree, candles and greens.

Abington Heights School Board member Michele Tierney, who also sits on the Abington Area Joint Recreation Board (AAJRB), gauged the district’s interest in obtaining access to a new athletic field during the board’s monthly meeting on Wednesday, Dec. 7. Tierney explained that the AAJRB recently received a grant and is hoping to use some of the money to install a turf multi-purpose athletic field on a piece of property close to Abington Heights High School. “This is a multi-purpose (field), so it would be for our softball kids, for baseball, field hockey, all of our sports,” said Tierney. “They (the AAJRB) would like to enter into a conversation with both the athletic director and the school district on the turf field possibility.” Superintendent Michael Mahon, Ph.D., said the district is interested in having a discussion about the field. Tierney, who is also a member of Abington Heights Educational Improvement Organization (AEIO), took a moment to thank the Mike Fleming/Frank Santoriello Committee for donating the balance of funds from its election campaign to the AEIO. Santoriello said he and Fleming, who both won their elections for a seat on the Abington Heights School Board, decided to donate the remaining funds to the AEIO because of the quality work the organization does for the students. Santoriello and Fleming were sworn in by Judge James Gibbons as part of the board’s annual reorganization meeting, held on Wednesday, along with Warren Acker, Cathy Hardaway and Gregory Madensky. Hardaway was re-elected as the board’s president, Acker was re-elected as vice president. In other business, the board approved the hiring of James Mirabelli as the new Abington Heights business manager. Hardaway explained the process of choosing Mirabelli for the job. After reviewing 50 applications, Mahon and Assistant Superintendent Dr. Thomas Quinn interviewed 24 of those applicants.. Twelve were chosen to be interviewed by Mahon, Quinn, Hardaway and school board Treasurer Louise Brzuchalski. Of those 12, five were interviewed by the entire school board. Mirabelli is scheduled to begin the first week of January. Wednesday’s meeting was the school board’s last scheduled meeting for 2011. It will meet again for a monthly work session on Wednesday, Jan. 4, 2012.

and facilitated many special events for children, including monthly story times, presented by a special subgroup of ACL-TLC called Story Time Teens, a Hello Kitty tea, a Pokemon party, pirate days, spelling bee and so much more. According to Taylor Ross, fourth-sixth grade program coordinator, the TLC helps with all library-related programs, such as the American Girl Holiday. “It’s a great opportunity and the library is a great resource in the community. The TLC is looking to help with that by promoting the library,” Ross said. She also added that she’s most proud of the Battle of the Books Competition for fourth and sixth
graders because she helped with discussions and helped students prepare. The committee recently put together the Tween Advisory Board for grades four and six. “It’s an advisory board for children that are in between children’s services and teen services, too old for “kid stuff ” and too young for teen stuff. It’s facilitated by members of the TLC; they’ll help develop new services just for them,” Longo said. “A special Camp Half-Blood program for grades second through sixth and a monthly LEGO Club for grades first through sixth are both coming up in 2012.” The TLC has three events for children scheduled at the

Scouting Scene
Festival raises funds, spirits
With Tyler VanGorder
Troop 160 fundraiser a success The month of November was a very successful one for Troop 160. We held our annual fundraiser this month. Troop 160’s French Toast Breakfast was held on November 12. It offered a breakfast buffet that included French toast, ham, bacon and eggs. It had a great outcome and we appreciate everyone who came to support us. Also, Troop 160 would like to thank all of those who sponsored the event. Great Expectations was also held on November 12. This is a leadership course that Scouts can enroll in. It is a one-day course that teaches Scouts various leadership skills. It was held at Baptist Bible College and was very educational for those who took it. A more advanced version of this course is called Great Medicine and occurs during the end of April and the beginning of May. This month Troop 160 also went camping. We went backpacking on the Pinchot Trail. This trail is located in the Lackawanna State Forest
off oSuscon Road in Dupont. It is named after Gifford Pinchot, America’s first professional forester. He was governor twice for Pennsylvania, and the first Chief of the United State’s Forest Service. The Scouts had to carry all of their gear in backpacks on their way to the campsite. The gear included a tent, sleeping bag, clothes, food and other gear. The backpacks weighed between 25 and 30 pounds. The Scouts carried their heavy packs six miles to their campsite that was on the riverside. There they learned some skills and had a lot of fun. By the time dinner came, our dehydrated meals appeared gourmet. The next morning the Scouts hiked another four miles back to where they started. Throughout the hike, some Scouts struggled carrying their packs. The other Scouts helped them out by adjusting straps or by relieving them of some gear. Either way it is important for Scouts to help one another. Remember, a Scout is helpful.

A crowd of about 200 turned out for the Festival of Trees’ kick-off event inside the Electric City Trolley Museum at 300 Cliff St., Scranton on Friday, Dec. 9. While the festival serves to show the history and creativity of the region, the kick-off event also served as a fundraiser for Toys for Tots. Nearly $1,500 was raised for local efforts, according to Lackawanna County Deputy Director of Arts and Culture Maureen McGuigan. Last year, $1,100 was raised. The community event featured small businesses, nonprofits, clubs and more who paid to decorate trees under the theme “Celebrating Northeast Pennsylvania Living.” Along with $20 tickets, $1 votes for the People’s Choice Award for favorite tree helped meet the fundraising goal. First place and the 2010 People’s Choice Award went to the Hubbard Bike Club. Club Vice President Brian ABINGTON JOURNAL PHOTO/ALEX SEELEY Gilboy, 46, of Jefferson Twp., said the club decorated its Shirley Eagen, co-chair, Abington Arts Council, is shown with the own tree with used bike parts, seats and even a helmet council’s tree.

Students from Abington Heights High School recently visited the Clarks Summit Pizza Hut as part of their prevocational skill development programming. The trip was arranged by Cleveland Elmy, the high school’s health and physical education department chairman, and Mari Hendershot, the special education teacher. The students were trained by Elmy to prepare breadsticks, personal pan pizzas and stuffed-crust dough. The final training session involved students preparing their own pizza to eat for lunch.

Fifty-two students and recent graduates of Wyoming Seminary College Preparatory School in Kingston have been named AP Scholars by the College Board in recognition of their exceptional achievement on the college-level AP (Advanced Placement) Examinations. Students take AP examinations in May after completing college-level courses at their high schools. The College Board recognizes several levels of achievement based on the number of year-long courses and exams. Sheena Syal, of Dalton, a senior at Wyoming Seminary, qualified for the AP Scholar award by completing three or more AP Examinations with grades of 3 or higher. Most of the nation’s colleges and universities award credit, advanced placement or both based on successful performance on the AP Exam. More than 1,400 institutions award a year of credit to students presenting a sufficient number of qualifying grades.

The origin of the toy dates back to a time when the Greek armies of King Antiochus controlled the Holy Land, before the Maccabees defeated them and sent them packing. The powerful regime passed a series of laws outlawing the study of Torah and many of the mitzvoth. The Jews were compelled to take their Torah learning underground. “Dreidel games are a salute to these Jewish heroes of yore…,” as explained on the website jewishdiscoverycenter.org. Rabbi Benny Rapoport of the Jewish Discovery Center at 749 Northern Blvd., Clarks Summit, said, “ …of course there are all these rules as to how you play the game but, ultimately, it’s the distraction that was used when the Greeks would try to catch them. It turned into a battle but after a while they took to the hills and there was actual fighting. “The Jewish people fought against huge mighty armies 20 times their size with elephants, armor and a small band of brothers,” he added. The Maccabee brothers stood up and started a revolt and they won. The Temple was defiled. They wanted to take out the spirituality. The Jewish people represented the spiritual message, the purpose that God gave us all of these gifts. They found one little cruse of pure oil that still had the seal and it was only good for one day but it lasted for eight days. The light, spiritual light was able to overcome the material limitations. It was the message of triumph of good over evil, freedom over oppression, spirituality over material obsession. That’s Chanukah.” The dreidel, most commonly made of wood or plastic, has always been part of the Hanukah tradition and in Rab-

bi Rapoport’s family, “During the celebration, there’s the concept of the games that we play, family gathering, and traditions to give money. You can play dreidel games with a group of people. The kids love it. When the sun sets, we light the Menorah.” This year, Chanukah is celebrated Dec. 20-28. The first candle of the menorah is lit at nightfall of the first day of the holiday.

n its first year, the Marley’s Mission 2011-12 Art Contest received 101 entries. The nonprofit organization shared artwork with the community in an exhibit at the Starbucks in the Mall at Steamtown earlier this month. Marley’s Mission, which provides free equine assisted psychotherapy to children who have experienced trauma, opened the contest to children in grades kindergarten through 12, asking them to create a drawing based on the theme “Hands and Hooves” on an 8.5-inch by 11- inch sheet of white paper. The children’s artwork, which reflected the healing power of horses that helps children learn to trust and hope, was on exhibit during Scranton’s First Friday on Dec. 2. A number of entries were submitted from residents of Clarks Summit and Scranton, but art contest co-chair Jennifer Macknosky said a great number were from outside the area, including Maryland and New York. “It was nice to see that. It shows that Marley’s Mission isn’t just in Pennsylvania, that it’s starting to spread out,” said Macknosky. During the exhibit, those in attendance were invited to vote for their favorite piece at a cost of $1. The votes were tallied at the end of the night, and Gabriele Hanstein, 12, of Scranton, was voted the People’s Choice Winner. Hanstein’s mother, Leigh, told her about the contest, and working off a photograph her father, Fred, had taken of a horse, she created her sub-

Where was the new movie "New Year’s Eve" filmed?
Are the days leading up to Christmas flying by for you? They definitely are for me. Not only with shopping and the typical preparations for the holiday, but since we live in such a vibrant community, these days in December have also been filled with activities that are just pure fun. For instance, Tunkhannock’s Christmas in Our Hometown was glorious. The town, so beautifully decorated, was filled with good cheer. During the festivities, the Dietrich hosted a homemade cookie walk coordinated by theater board member Nancy Aiello. And, boy, did folks from our area bake for us. I have never seen that many cookies in my life. Imagine - for one evening, the Dietrich smelled more like cookies than popcorn. We appreciate everyone who provided delicious treats for the benefit, including the Keystone College students who baked over 50 dozen cookies. We would also like to thank everyone who came out and purchased a container of delicious cookies. The walk was a great success. Terrific crowds of all ages also came out to our Holiday Workshop and the free showings of “Emmet Otter’s Jugband Christmas.” We would like to thank Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation for sponsoring the events. During those activities, I especially enjoyed witnessing both children and adults react with delight to the Dietrich’s Earnshaw Gallery. Thanks to the generosity of a few “angels” who purchased new Christmas decorations for the Dietrich (since all of ours were lost in the flood) and to patient volunteers who meticulously decorated, the gallery is a sight to behold. If you haven’t seen it yet, I really recommend stopping by for visit. While in the downtown, I also recommend stopping in at Tunkhannock’s unique shops. They are just chock full of gorgeous items.

We proposed the idea to our education clubs and we had students from each of the three clubs volunteer to take a specific country.

concepts and ideas of different countries the students were studying in my social studies class at the university. There was significant collaboration among the three different University of Scranton student clubs.” She added, “The families and children visiting Timmy’s Town Center would be able to get first-hand experience about the three countries by interacting with the materials, the money, the products, arts and crafts, pictures and anything that would stimulate their interest. This is something students do as part of my class. They’re bringing in ideas already that they took from the classroom and then beyond that, it’s the clubs and the university encouraging those clubs to work together”
“Glocalize: Globally Inspired…Locally Made,” will be on display at Timmy’s Town Center through Feb. 19.
The students raised their own funds for certain exhibits and were allocated money from the student government to fund their projects. Gershey provided a platform for the university students to present their exhibits and transformed available space into the
Hacienda. The current exhibit will run through Feb. 19. Timmy’s Town Center is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. For more information, call 341.1511 or visit timmystowncenter.org.

The colorful pairs covered last year’s tree, with all donations being sent to St. Joseph’s Center’s Mother/Infant Pantry in Dunmore, which helps families of young children with clothing and equipment. Young library patrons are encouraged to bring in the socks and hang them on the branches by themselves. The donations will be accepted throughout the rest of December and will be delivered to St. Joseph’s Center after the holidays. Timely New Non-Fiction “Martha’s Entertaining: A Year of Celebrations,” by Martha Stewart. Whether the occasion is for morning, afternoon or evening, Martha puts her special stamp on each and every breakfast/brunch, bridal shower or tea and holiday dinner party celebration. Each of the unique events was photographed at one of Martha’s various homes or favorite event spaces. The book is oversized and filled with page after page of food photography that also highlights seasonal flower arrangements and unusual place settings, all with Martha’s “touch.” Recipes follow at the end of the book and are accompanied by detailed step-by-step techniques for preparing them as demonstrated by Chef Pierre Schaedelin, Martha’s collaborator on the recipes and menus for this book. “Emily Post’s Etiquette: Manners for a New World” by Peggy Post, et al.

Seasons of life JOAN MEAD-MATSUI Abington Journal Correspondent
“To Everything A Season: A Collection of Poetry,” is the title of 30-yearold Danica Sorber’s book and some of the pieces in this collection, or anthology, reflect her personal journey presented to readers through “life inspired stories.” “The whole idea of it is emotionally that every human being goes through seasons in life. There are the wintery times where it’s dark and your emotions are down and then there is spring where everything is good. Summer is kind of like you’re chilled out and autumn is the breath right before winter starts,” said Sorber. And at this point, Sorber is personally “in the cusp between fall and winter.” “My emotions do follow the seasons,” said Sorber. This writer grew her “literary” roots in Sacramento, CA, where some of her thoughts and writing for her book originated while she was a student at Encina High School. “Some of the stuff I’ve written in there, (in my book) I wrote in high school.” Readers will find stories that rhyme in Sorber’s book, but perhaps not in a traditional sense, with sonnets and Shakespearean verses.
She explained, “One thing that kind of irks me is that when people hear the word, “poetry,” they might think sonnets and Shakespearean and young men going on and on about the beauty of their ladylove compared to a summer’s day. Poetry doesn’t have to be like that. You can be sure some of the stuff in there is going to be quirky and upbeat, but that’s because of the season it’s in. Poetry can always be thought and emotion evoking and it’s not just what you imagine it to be. They are stories that rhyme. They have a purpose are not meant to be poetry on a page.” Her favorite piece is the story of “Enlightenment,” the woman in the dungeon telling stuff she has been living through,” according to Sorber. “’Enlightenment’ was written when I woke up in the dead of night and had this idea for a story. I hopped out of bed, ran to my desk and wrote it….that’s the final product,” said Sorber. “It’s about a young woman who had her innocence ripped away from her and she led this life of pain and anguish, but in the end, she was stronger than it. She came out and she was brave and courageous. Honestly I like the twist at the end.” Sorber crosses all genres

of writing and doesn’t like to “pigeonhole” herself into one genre. Her works include inspirational poetry and a lot of what she refers to as “darker stuff,” including thrillers, paranormal women’s fiction and horror stories. She is currently working on a romance novel. “My mind doesn’t compartmentalize into one genre so I’m everywhere. I have works in progress all over the place,” said Sorber. She attended Word of Life Bible Institute in Florida and New York and Baptist Bible College in Clarks Summit and has an educational background in biblical counseling. “But I love to write, so why not do that? So, that’s what I’ve been doing since 2004.” Sorber works from her
home in Factoryville and feels she is immensely blessed “with an incredible family, a home and this ability to work from home doing something I love, and this incredible love for anything literary. I love to write and I think part of the passion for that and the desire to create imaginary worlds comes from the fact that I didn’t necessarily grow up in one that I actually wanted to be in.” She and her husband, Jeremy, have three children, Ruth, Timothy and Naomi. “To Everything A Season” was published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, LLC, a Christian publishing company, in 2011 and will be available soon through Amazon.com and at major bookstores.

Holy Cross defeats Lakeland
BY JOE BARESS Abington Journal Correspondent
The Holy Cross Crusaders defensively dismantled the Lakeland Chiefs by way of a 64-21 victory Monday, Dec. 12 at Holy Cross High School. Holy Cross jumped out to an early lead after two blocks by Katie Purcell, which led to a layup on the offensive end and a 7-1 lead. After the quick start, the Crusaders continued to shut the Chiefs down defensively. “We didn’t handle their man-to-man defense at all,” Lakeland coach Joe Vadala said. “We played very robotic and did the same thing every time. We looked for the next part of the offense rather than playing basketball.” Lakeland cut the lead to five in the first quarter when Allison Kraky converted a three-point play toward the end of the quarter, but Gab Giordano banked in a three at the buzzer to bump the lead back up to eight points. Purcell increased the Crusaders’ lead to 19-6, scoring five straight points to start the second quarter. The Crusaders outscored the Chiefs, 18-8, in the quarter and held Lakeland to just one field goal. “The last two weeks we worked on trying to vary what we do to get open and we didn’t do a very good job at it,” Vadala said. “We tended to do the same thing every time and you can’t do that against a good team.” Holy Cross didn’t let up in the second half, scoring 10 unanswered points, including five from Emily Mineo. The Crusaders held the Chiefs scoreless for more than five minutes in the third quarter before Alissa See Lady Chiefs , Page 2

fronting him and having some help from behind. Both teams played hard. We were fortunate tonight that we made a few more baskets than they did.” The Comets jumped out to a 13-7 lead at the end of the first quarter. They expanded their lead to 28-18 at the half as center Jason Bamford scored six of his 13 points in the second quarter. The junior also blocked three shots and held
For the untrained observer, track and field events are a breed of sports confined to warm weather and outdoor venues. With winter winds swirling and snow coating the ground throughout the winter, local harriers would normally be out of a venue to showcase their skills in preparation for the spring season. Enter the world of indoor track. While most local high schools don’t possess the facilities to host indoor track meets, varsity teams are able to compete in invitational meets hosted by colleges and universities throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. As teams compete in such events, athletes are eligible to qualify for a PIAA-sponsored postseason championship in all indoor track and field events. With winter sports in full swing, local track and field coaches shared some of their plans for the indoor season, and talked about how success indoors can help lead to big things for their teams in the spring.

CLARKS SUMMIT- Abington Heights used tight defense and timely scoring to defeat Holy Cross, 55-42, in the season opener for both teams on Dec. 9. “We wanted to put pressure on the ball and make it difficult to get it to the big guy (Kosin) inside,” Abington Heights head coach Ken Bianchi said. “I thought our guards did a good job and I thought our big men did a good job inside,

Scranton’s Strong will have to wait BY TOM ROBINSON Go Lackawanna sports correspondent
Messiah College made The University of Scranton women’s basketball teamwait. The Lady Royals waited more than six minutes for their first point on Dec. 7 and now coach Mike Strong will have to wait at least four more days for his record-breaking 758th career victory. Dori Gyori scored 17 points and grabbed 11 rebounds and Scranton never led as Messiah held on for a 55-49 victory.

Gyori, a 6-foot-2 post player from Hungary, had 13 of points in the second half when the Falcons turned back a comeback attempt. “Whether it was nerves or their defense, we didn’t do too well in the first half offensively,” said Strong, who is tied with former St. John Fisher coach Phil Kahler for the most wins in NCAA Division III women’s basketball history. The Lady Royals missed their first 10 shots and Messiah opened early leads of 9-0 and 14-2.Scranton finished the half shooting just 6-for-31.
The Lady Royals needed the final five points just to get within 28-18 at intermission. Katerine Torto hit a 3pointer with 1:37 left and Christina Hiltunen scored on a drive with three seconds left. Scranton got within four points twice in the final 1:38, but never had the ball in the second half while facing a deficit of fewer than five points. The Lady Royals were hurt by nine second-half turnovers. “I didn’t anticipate at the beginning of the year this
team would be this turnover prone,” Strong said. “We’re turning the ball over way too much, unnecessarily.” Allison Sweeney led the Lady Royals (3-4) with 12 points and three assists. Torto added eight points and a team-high 10 rebounds. Messiah, which was nationally ranked earlier in the season, improved to 5-2 with the help of 13 points by Nicky Hess and 10 by Taylor Miller. The Lady Royals are off until Saturday, Dec. 17 when they play at Cabrini College in the first of five straight road games.

20 points in the fourth quarter. “It wasn’t pretty, but we play very well together and I think we did a pretty good job defensively,” Show said. “We had a couple letdowns in the second half, allowing them to shoot a lot of free throws.

Crusaders’ center Josh Kosin to three first half points. “He did a very good job,” Bianchi said of Bamford. “Jason’s long and he made his presence felt tonight. He had several blocks and went to the boards on offense.

Kosin, who finished with 14 points and seven rebounds, scored seven points in the third quarter to cut the Comets’ lead to 34-29. Abington Heights was able to put the game away in the fourth quarter by making 20 of 24 free throws to seal the win. The Crusaders converted just six of 13 free throws in the final quarter and 13 of 24 in the game. Comets’ guard J.C. Show scored six of his game-high
