Purchased by new owners and placed under new management in September, Eleanor Rigby’s Bar and Night Club in Jermyn still belongs as much to its customers - a diverse crowd largely composed of local music fans - as it does its new owners. “A lot of people from the community really look at this place as their spot,” said Zach Neil, owner. “It might not be the greatest thing, or in the past it might have had its bugs, but now this is their home.” One way the crowd marked the place its own was by writing on its walls, first in the men’s restroom and then on the social media website Facebook. According to Neil, although the men’s room had to be remodeled for sanitary reasons, the Facebook page continues as an ongoing testimony of the massive local support for the business. It reached over 8,000 “likes” from those who follow its activity and new “wall posts” appear from those people daily. Neil said about a month ago, he posted an announcement on Facebook about changes that would be made at the club, including the possibility of cutting down on the amount of heavy metal shows. Angry comments immediately followed, flooding the page with protest. He said that while getting “beat up” on Facebook left him miserable at first, it was also an encourage-
ment. As much as Facebook posters were calling him names, he said, “at the same time, it was them telling me how much this place means to them and how much they care about it that they’re getting that angry and worked up about the thought of maybe losing what they have here.” “That showing on Facebook showed us that there’s a lot of people who are passionate about this place staying open and catering to the stuff that they like,” he said. “We’re going to try to pay attention to that and really capitalize on that…and just try to be what our audience wants us to be.” One member of that audience is Nick Reuther, of Moscow, bass player for the local band Kill the Coward, which plays a frequently at the club. “Having a place like this venue in the area is fantastic,” Reuther said via email. “The genre that our band and others like us play is not appreciated by the norm of society and this venue gives us our opportunity to be ourselves. They have helped us gain a local support in the area by giving us numerous show opportunities to succeed.” Kill the Coward labels itself as “screamo, hardcore and metalcore,” and Reuther said the music is energetic and the lyrics come from real situations in the band members’ lives. He said the band started out playing cover songs, has now recorded seven of its own and plays at Eleanor Rigby’s about

At this time of year when winter has officially arrived, the bottom line is, “It’s the winter solstice. When is it going to start getting warmer...?” This is one of the most popular questions asked of Kurt Aaron, WNEP-TV meteorologist, regarding the winter solstice. “People just want to know if it’s going to start getting warmer,” said Aaron. “The sun heats up objects, it heats the land and objects like buildings, pavement and others. The sun heats these things and they radiate heat and that causes air molecules to vibrate. The vibration of air molecules is what gives us heat. That’s what we feel as temperature. When you have less sunlight and more darkness, it’s less time for the sun to heat up the lower atmosphere so thus, the temperature gets colder because there’s less heat, less sunlight. So the winter solstice marks the beginning of the northern hemisphere tilting forward 23.5 degrees towards the sun and more sunlight. More sunlight means more heat so it’s going to get warmer and warmer. It takes time.” Winter began in the Northern Hemisphere and summer began in the Southern Hemisphere at 5:30 a.m. on December 22. The word, “solstice” is derived from the Latin See Solstice, Page 8

Lakeland students run coat drive for their senior project BY T’SHAIYA STEPHENSON Abington Journal Correspondent
With the temperature beginning to drop, two Lakeland High School Seniors joined forces for their senior projects to give back to members of the community and help them combat the cold. Seniors Megan Babcanec, 17, of Jermyn, and Nick Orazzi, 18, of Greenfield Township, hosted a coat drive in the school district during the month of December. They placed containers at the high school, Lakeland Elementary School and Mayfield Elementary School and hung up flyers around the schools to bring
attention to the drive. At the end of the drive on December 16, the number of coats collected was over 200. Although it was a coat drive, there was more winter apparel items collected than just coats, according to Babcanec. “It was mainly coats, but people donated some snow bibs and hats, gloves and scarves, too.” Babcanec describes the premise of a senior project as “helping out someone in the community.” Along with the collection of the coats, the students will also present their project to teachers around April and write a paper on it as part
of the senior project guidelines. The project can be completed during either a student’s junior year or senior year. “I think because it’s starting to get cold out and I wanted people who aren’t as fortunate as us to be able to be warm and have a coat to wear,” Babcanec said about why she chose to do a coat drive as her senior project. Orazzi echoed Babcanec’s sentiments on why he wanted to conduct a coat drive. “I just thought of all the people out there that didn’t have coats, and how fortunate we are…” The collected items were distributed to the United
Neighborhood Center of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Pam Berg, Emergency Services Supervisor for United Neighborhood Centers of Northeastern Pennsylvania, said the items will be sorted and placed into the Angels’ Attic at 410 Olive St. in Scranton, which provides clothing items for those who need them and also serves as a food pantry. Berg said varying sizes of donated coats were collected from the containers, “which is wonderful.” Orazzi said the amount of coats collected was “a big accomplishment” and Babcanec said she was “excited” about the turnout.

Lakeland High School students Megan Babcanec, 17, Jermyn, and Nick Orazzi, 18, dontated over 200 coats and other items of winter apparel to Angels’ Attic as part of their senior project.
“It was a great experience… just knowing all of the people that we helped,” Orazzi said about the outcome of his senior project. Words of advice from Babcanec and Orazzi for
those looking to participate in a coat drive are, respectively, to be organized and prepared. Donations for Angels’ Attic can be taken to 410 Olive St., Scranton.

The school board and faculty organized the event to show the students why they do some of the things they do in their program, why they conduct the program in the manner they do and how they strive to prepare the students for life after high school no matter the path they chose to follow. The school also uses the graduation panel as a way to learn from the alumni about what they wished they had learned and how they could improve the program.

A Culinary Journey with Stephanie Decker
BY JOSEPH CROFT Abington Journal Correspondent
Three very cool things you’re not using in your cooking Of all the things I’ve learned about food on my culinary journey, the one thing that has taught me the most is, very simply, eating. I tell my hospitality and culinary majors at Lackawanna College that eating and tasting are the most effective and easiest ways to build their professional palates. As humans, we tend to get stuck in ruts of the same 10 or so dinners offered in a cyclical rotation or the same caffeinated drink every morning to get our engines going without ever stepping outside our gastronomic boxes. We like what we know and we lose the incredible gift of exploration when we don’t get out there and try new things. One very cool thing about our bodies is that our taste buds wear out about every seven years and new ones erupt, setting up perfect opportunities to discover new tastes and re-introduce old ones we thought we disliked. Take me, for instance. I hated the taste of bleu cheese for all of my childhood and most of my adult life, but then one day while working at a restaurant, I took my own advice and tried a salad that had a wonderful combination of flavors and textures and paired bleu cheese with a sweet and tangy port wine dressing. It was like magic. The rich tangy cheese danced expertly with the sweet port flavors and my mind started imagining other bleu food combinations. During holiday season, give these very cool foods a try. Broaden your tastes and offer your guests a passport to the incredible and vast world of culinary exploration. Pimentos These sweet, flavor-packed red peppers are available in every grocery store in the north for less than $2 a jar, but our friends in the south truly have a love affair with pimentos. My southern sister-in -law Ericka brought out a bowl of pimento cheese and a plate of crackers on our last visit to South Carolina and even the kids went nuts for it. Pimentos give that punch of flavor to dishes like chicken a la king and turkey tetrazzini. Serve pimento cheese for the holidays and watch it disappear. Hoisin sauce This pungent Asian barbeque sauce is another inexpensive staple you can stock in your pantry. It’s close enough to one of America’s favorite condiments that it is very approachable yet its flavors are exotic enough to substitute Hoisin for your run of the mill sauce and jazz up dinner time. My friend Margie shared a simple recipe she has for Hoisin that is healthy, delicious and gets gobbled up by adults and kids alike. It’s a great simple dinner or a fun addition to a buffet. Meyer lemons Lemons are one of my favorite things in the wy so when I tasted this exotic, floral citrus for the first time in a sushi dish at Morimoto in Philadelphia, I was hooked. The good news about Meyers is that they are coming into season now - December through April. The bad news is they can be difficult to find. Substitute Meyer Lemons for regular lemons in your favorite pie, dessert or savory dish and let your taste buds travel to China - the country that first gave us this funky hybrid fruit. Margie’s Asian Lettuce Wraps Head of iceberg lettuce, leaves carefully peeled off and layered on a platter One lb. ground chicken breast browned with 1 small chopped onion in 1 TBSP canola oil Cup of cooked brown rice ½ cup hoisin sauce Spread a thin layer of hoisin sauce in the center of each lettuce leaf. Top hoisin with brown rice and ground chicken. Roll each leaf up like a burrito and enjoy!

The Glenburn Twp. Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to hire Mark Hopkins as a new road member at its meeting Dec.19. Supervisor Michael Savitsky explained that six candidates were interviewed for the position on Dec.14, with Hopkins being offered the position. Savitsky continued to say that Hopkins accepted the offer and passed the mandatory tests “with flying colors.” Secretary Joanne Benson reported on behalf of township road master David Mennig to say that he is “quite pleased and looks forward to working with the new hire.” Hopkins replaces former road crew member David Hall. Other business at the meeting included the approval for PennDOT crews to enter the township property for work on the bridge on Waverly Road. Savitsky explained that work on the bridge was discussed earlier in the year, but funding was not in the 2011budget. PennDOT recently stepped forward to take over the project. Benson said that when she last spoke to a representative from PennDOT, she was told that work would begin in June and possibly be finished by the start of the new school year. The budget for the new year was approved at the conclusion of the meeting. Savitsky had stated the township’s income was up approximately $6,300 from the previous year after Benson read the financial report at the top of the meeting.

ELEANOR RIGBY’S
Continued from Page 1 get people to come out to the shows and to really spread the word.” Michael Tyahur, of Wilkes-Barre, drummer for Bring the Heat, which plays heavy music, said via e-mail that his band plays at the club once or twice a month and appreciates the opportunities to open for bigger name bands. Tyahur said he also appreciates the fact that it’s not just a “21 plus” venue. “It’s just good to have all ages venues around the area,” he said. He said he’s also seen a lot of changes and improvements take place at the club since the new owners took over, including the addition of a pizza place, relocating of the bar to the other side of the stage, remaking of the old bar into a space for the bands to sell their merchandise, remodeling of the restroom walls, and some sound and stage adjustments. “Overall, it’s turning into a more legit venue than it was before,” he said. Neil said while a lot of improvements have been made, there are still more to come, and the club will also announce a name change sometime in the next month. “It’s going to be a whole new business model,” Neil said. “We’re going to take the things that were good about Eleanor Rigby’s, which were the concerts, the local bands…We’re going to keep all that and we’re going to add something new to it.” The plan, however, isn’t

an entirely new one, but is closer to the original. Neil said it all started in 2009 when an acquaintance contacted him with a proposal to start a night club. He agreed after some “arm twisting” and they started moving forward. Then, he said, several months in, things weren’t working out for the other half of the investment, so he backed out and sold his portion to another friend. The plan included a bar, restaurant and night club, but because of a lack in initial investments, only a bar and a stage were built. Then, Neil said, about four months ago, he got a call from the owner at the time, saying the place was about to go under, and asking if he still had any interest in it. “We thought we could do a better job, so I’m back,” he said. “Zack is back!” The club is currently owned by Neil, who commutes from the Poconos, Rob Bowman, of Carbondale, and Ray Cox, of Jermyn. According to the club’s Facebook page, it will switch over to its new
name, which remains to be announced, sometime after the Texas in July and The Air I Breathe show on December 30. After its grand opening, the bar’s pizza place will be open until 2 a.m., offering delivery until that time within a 10-mile radius. And, he said, the new menu will speak for itself. “It’s not fine food, it’s pizza,” he said. “But it’s pizza the way that no one around here has ever had. It’s old world Italian pizza where it’s fresh mozzarella cheese, the soft cheese, all fresh ingredients.” He hopes people will come try the food, and see the new venue for themselves. And, he said, the club will continue to welcome input and suggestions from the community. “The reality of the situation is, no matter what we put in here - we could put dancing girls and juggling clowns - if it’s not supported by our local community, it’s not going to work,” he said. “And so we want to really be active in the local community and…let this be the everybody’s venue.”

Hooping into the New Year By ROBERT TOMKAVAGE rtomkavage@theabingtonjournal.com
This year at First Night Scranton, people can twist their way into the New Year. The Whirligig Hoopers, whose motto is “To hoop is to smile with your whole body,” are led by Jenny Hill and Susan Anderson. In its First Night performance, the group will conduct three 20-minute choreographed segments and incorporate the audience into the acts throughout the night. The group has previously done street performances during First Fridays in Scranton and “hooping in the park events” at Kirby Park in Wilkes-Barre and is excited for the opportunity to be featured on a big stage. “People always leave with a smile on their face,” Anderson said of the group’s events. “Sometimes the funniest people are the adults. They are usually reluctant, but once we talk them into trying it, they have a good time.” The idea for the group came when Hill’s sister, Kristen McQuillin, a performer in Japan, brought a

hoop making kit to her wedding a few years ago. “At first I wasn’t able to do it, but I ordered my first hoop that night,” Anderson said. “Jenny and I started going to events with our hoops and would be approached by people asking if we taught classes. After being asked so many times, we decided to give it a shot. It was unexpected, but it has been a lot of fun and a wild experience.” According to Anderson, there are many benefits to hooping.
“There are some big fitness aspects, but it also gives you a big spiritual lift,” she said. “It’s also a great way to exercise and have fun.” For Anderson, hooping has been more than just a fun hobby. “It was life changing,” she said. “It opened up a whole different world.” The Whirligig Hoopers First Night performances will take place at The Mall at Steamtown, 300 Lackawanna Ave. at 7:30, 8:30 and 9:30 p.m.
Magic, juggling and comedy blend together in the Vaudeville-with-a-contemporarytwist style of First Night Performer Mike Simon, of Scranton. Inspired by the classic acts of people like Harry Houdini, W. C. Fields, the Three Stooges and the Marx Brothers, Simon, 24, first developed his interest in Vaudeville and the theater when he was 10 years old. “I love that style of comedy,” he said, “and it’s unfortunate we don’t see that kind of thing today.” According to Simon’s website, “Vaudeville was a theatrical genre of variety entertainment in the United States and Canada from the early 1880s until the early 1930s. He remembers seeing his first magician in first grade, doing research and falling in love with the Vaudeville era.” It was while attending Penn State University that Simon got serious about his interest when he joined juggling and magic clubs at the school. While in college, he and some friends formed a group and started giving performances. He has been performing professionally for about seven years. Simon likes to incorporate audience participation into his shows, and one of his favorite things about performing is watching people enjoy the act. “I love to see the kind of wide variety of reactions you get from the audience,” he said, “from laughter to blank

stares.” Not only will the audience participate in his three 30minute shows at First Night, but Simon’s fiancé, Kaitlyn, will assist him during the acts. The pair has a different set list for each show and plans to incorporate their usual style of classic Vaudeville-meets-modern-daycomedy. Simon hopes a lot of people will come out this year for First Night. “There is a wide variety of entertainment, and something for everybody,” he said. According to his website, Simon “guarantees a fun performance while hoping to capture the spirit of Vaudeville and instill an appreciation for two unfortunately fading arts: juggling and magic.” Simon will perform at the Ritz Theater Lobby, 222 Wyoming Ave., at 7:30, 9 and 10:30 p.m. For more information about Magician Mike Simon, visit www.mikesimonmagic.com.

It’s enjoyable.” It also gives Chaump and the group’s lead singer Rebecca Santoro Hetzel, the Abington Heights Middle School chorus and band teachers, respectively, a Gordon Community Singers, Clarks Summit United Methodist Church, Morgan Highway, Clarks Summit, Tuesdays, 7:30 p.m. No auditions required.

During the past seven years, the group has become best known as a cover band, playing private parties, weddings and clubs. It has earned a reputation for its ability to perform almost any style of music, an its set list covers music from the 1950s to today’s top 40 hits. With this year’s theme of “Rock In New Year’s Eve,” the group’s song repertoire is going to come in handy as it plans to crank out some of the classic songs known by all, as well as some not all that familiar.

What state is the movie "We Bought a Zoo" set in?
One of my of my favorite things to do during this chilly month is to cuddle up with a good book. And one of the books I will be reading is “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” by Ken Kesey. The book is the 2012 selection for “Wyoming County Reads One County, One Book, One Play,” an annual project we present in conjunction with the Tunkhannock Public Library. Join us for book discussions at the Tunkhannock Public Library on Wednesday nights in February led by Bill Chapla and Dr. Marnie Hiester . All are welcome to attend and admission is free. Then in March, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” the play by Dale Wasserman, will come to life on the Dietrich stage for a five-day run. We are currently looking for actors and people interested in working behind the scenes. Auditions will be held by appointment on Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 28 and 29 from noon to 5 p.m. Actors needed are four women, ages 18 to 50, and 12 men, ages 18 to 70. At the audition, actors will be asked to read from the script. Sides are currently available on our website, www.dietrichtheater.com. Please call us at 996.1500 for an audition appointment. During Wyoming County Reads, we also would like to invite you to take part in a “Book Jacket Redesign Contest.” Here is how it will work. Redesign the graphic for the book “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” on an 8 ½ i by 11-inch paper using the medium of your choice (paint, pencil, pastel, photo, etc.) to create an original front cover. The covers will be judged for literary and artistic expression. Entries must be submitted to the Tunkhannock Public Library by Friday, Jan. 27. And yes, there will be prizes. In addition to being chilly, January is also a time to try new things with the start of the new year. At the Dietrich, we have a host of offerings to explore, including pottery, jewelry making, open studio, quilting, knitting and yoga. We are starting a Kundalini yoga class in January. This class offering will be held in addition to our Wednesday Yoga for You class series led by instructor Melissa Russo. Barbara Tierney will show students the gifts that Kundalini yoga, as taught by Yogi Bhajan, has to offer as they explore breath, movement and mantra. Classes will be held on Saturdays, Jan. 14 through February 18 from 10 to 11:30 a.m., Call 996.1500 for more information or to register.

Abington advances in tournament play
BY TOM ROBINSON Go Lackawanna Sports Correspondent
TUNNEL HILL – The loss was the most significant and, yet, the most promising suffered by Lackawanna Trail this season. When the Lions opened defense of their Lackawanna League Division 3 boys basketball title by falling to 0-6 overall, the 53-51 loss at the hands of Montrose on Wednesday, Dec. 21 was the first that really mattered toward the league title and district qualifying. Instead of getting too frustrated by losing the rematch of last season’s all-season division championship game, Lackawanna Trail coach Andrew Kettel found some positives in what he said was “absolutely” his team’s best effort of the season. “In the second half, we played outstanding,” Kettel said. The Lions did so under some difficult circumstances. Starter Matt Flynn suffered a leg injury in the first minute and did not return. Second leading scorer Lyle Sweppenheiser fouled out 36 seconds into the fourth quarter after reserve Tyler Rzucidlo had also left with an injury. “We had two freshmen on the floor against a very good basketball team,” Kettel said. Despite having to go deep into its bench, Lackawanna Trail came from 12 down late in the third quarter to tie the game three times in the fourth quarter. The Meteors eventually pulled out the win on Cameron Dean’s basket in the lane with 19 seconds left and a late miss by the Lions. “It’s not Christmas yet,” Kettel said after the loss. “Last year, we peaked early in the first half (of league play) and had trouble in the second half. “There are a lot of games to play. That’s what the exhibition season is for – to get better. We played real good teams. I think that’s what has See Lions , Page 12

Lady Comets hold off Scranton Prep BY ROBERT TOMKAVAGE rtomkavage@theabingtonjournal.com
SCRANTON- Abington Heights finished on a 12-0 run to defeat Scranton Prep, 48-34, in a first-round matchup of the girls’ Lynett Memorial Tournament at the Lackawanna College Student Union on Dec. 26. The Lady Comets took a 13-6 lead at the end of the first quarter after Lauren Hoyt hit a shot as time expired. Hoyt scored 10 of her game-high 14 points in the first half as Abington Heights expanded its lead to 24-14. “I struggled in the beginning of the year offensively, but I practiced really hard on my shooting before this tournament,” Hoyt said. “I knew I had to show everybody that I was gonna come back.” Scranton Prep (5-2) battled back in the third quarter to take a 31-29 lead. The Classics went on a 10-2 run during the final four minutes led by Tricia Byrne, who scored all nine of her points in the third. “In the third quarter, we started getting nervous. We

justments during the timeouts. I’m proud of the way the kids played.” Lady Comets’ guard Tiffany O’Donnell, who battled foul trouble throughout the first half, provided a big lift when Abington Heights (6-1) needed it the most. The senior scored seven of her nine points in the fourth quarter, including a three-pointer with 4:45 remaining as the Lady Comets outscored the Classics, 19-3, in the final quarter. “I wasn’t playing the best in the first three quarters and I sat out the second quarter because of foul trouble,” O’Donnell said. “I knew that I needed to get my head in the game in order for us to pull off the win. “It’s awesome to get revenge on them since they beat us last year (in the Lynett championship game). We’re all just pretty happy.” O’Donnell added a conventional three-point play just over a minute later to start the Lady Comets’ final run. She added
Former Abington Heights High School (AHHS) standout Becky Burke briefly returned home during the Christmas break before heading back to Louisville University where she will lead the Cardinals into conference play. “It’s so great to go back and see everybody,” Burke said. “Knowing that I have the support from back home is the best feeling ever.” Burke scored 2,162 in her career at AHHS and earned a myriad of honors, including Pennsylvania Class AAAA Player of the Year, Women’s Basketball Coaches Association High School All-American honorable mention and McDonald’s AllAmerican nominee. She also earned first team all-state honors and All-Region Player of the Year her junior and senior seasons. “We played some tough teams while I was here,” Burke said. “Obviously, it’s an entirely different level, but I think that got my foot in the door for what I would be seeing in college.” After choosing Louisville, Burke immediately saw action her freshman year and played in all 38 games. She averaged 20 minutes a game and led Louisville in free throw percentage, shooting 88.4 percent.

Lady Lions are headed Comets stay undefeated to consolation round BY JOE BARESS Abington Journal Correspondent
TAYLOR- The Riverside Vikings gained the lead early in the first quarter and never relinquished it, enroute to a 53-26 victory over the Lackawanna Trail Lions on Monday, Dec. 26 at the Taylor Lions Club 25th Holiday Basketball Tournament at Riverside High School. Lackawanna Trail struck first when Natasha Pacholec scored on a lay-up to give the Lions a 2-0 lead. However, the Lions struggled to move the ball against the Vikings’ full court pressure and fell behind after a Riverside 8-0 run. “We didn’t pass out of the zone press initially,” Lions’ coach Errol Mannick said. “We tried to dribble through it and it ended up giving them four or six points off lay-ups.” Riverside stretched the lead to 12-4 before Clarissa Eggleston cut the lead in half
with four straight points. Riverside then rattled off six straight points on its way to an 18-9 lead at the end of the first quarter. Madison Haduck scored seven points in the quarter for the Vikings. The Vikings increased their lead to double-digits in the second quarter and took a 28-12 lead into halftime. The Lions fought back in the second half, outscoring Riverside, 8-6, in the third quarter led by Eggleston’s four points. Toward the end of the quarter, the Lions cut into the lead when Brianna Smarkusky blocked a shot that started a fast break. Melissa Grimm fed Shannon Jones down low for an easy lay-up to cut the Lions’ deficit to 34-20. Despite the run, Riverside blew the game open and outscored the Lions, 19-6, in the fourth quarter. Rebecca Mekilo scored nine of the Vikings’ fourth-quarter points while

gotten us better.” The Lions had only been competitive late in one of their five non-league losses when they found themselves in a tight contest in the fourth quarter of the consolation game of the Lackawanna Trail Invitational against Lakeland. Against Montrose, which again joins Blue Ridge as the top challengers to Lackawanna Trail’s title defense, the Lions led early and played well late. Sweppenheiser scored the first five points of an eightpoint streak to a 16-7 lead late in the first quarter. Colby Major then drained a three-quarter court shot for Montrose at the buzzer. “We were dead until that happened,” Montrose coach Todd Smith said. Major’s bomb started a 15-point streak in which he had 10 points to put Montrose up, 22-16, midway through the second quarter. The Lions never led again. Steve Miller finished with 25 points, 14 rebounds and four blocked shots to lead Lackawanna Trail. The 7foot-1 senior center had 11 points and six rebounds in the last 10 minutes to lead the comeback from a 45-33 deficit. “I thought we played great until the fourth quarter,” Smith said. “Then, Miller took over. He’s tough when he gets it by the rim.” The Lions forced ties at 47, 49 and 51 before Dean hit his game-winner. Major led Montrose with 22 points and three steals. Dean had 16 points and eight rebounds. Jordan Smith had seven assists, including one on the game-winning shot. Sweppenheiser had 10 points and Nick Sujkowski had five assists in the loss.
