Former Ransom Township
Secretary-Treasurer Kathy
Zielinski, 60, of South Abing-
ton Township, who was
charged Sept. 25 with one
second degree felony count of
theft by unlawful taking,
waived a preliminary hearing
scheduled for Oct. 1 at 10:30
a.m. in Central Court at the
Lackawanna County Cour-
thouse, Scranton.
The alleged theft occurred
while she was employed as
the Ransom Township secre-
tary-treasurer.
Investigative audits discov-
ered that Zielinski had spent
more than $98,000 of Ransom
Township funds for personal
expenses, according to a po-
lice affidavit.
Zielinski was released Sept.
25 on her own recognizance
by Magisterial District Judge
James Gibbons under the
conditions that she stay away
from township officials and
the township building.
According to the Pennsylva-
nia State Police, during a reg-
ular yearly audit, it was dis-
covered that 46 of Zielinskis
residential electric bills, in the
amount of $8,909.58, had
been intermingled with the
township bills and paid with
township funds. A Bank of
America township credit card
had also been issued to Zielin-
ski to facilitate township busi-
ness.

FACTORYVILLE- Lacka-
wanna Trail Elementary Cen-
ter and High School hosted an
anti-bullying programcalled
Rachels Challenge Sept 26.
The Rachels Challenge
programis named after the
first student killed in the Co-
lumbine High School shoot-
ing in1999, and it is has reac-
hed18,193,274 people. The
programspeaks out against
bullying and helps those who
are depressed or contemplat-
ing suicide by talking about
and promoting compassion
and acts of kindness.
Rachel Joy Scott was the
first person killed in Colum-
bine. And her story is what
created Rachels Challenge
and has saved many lives.
Speaker Bob Sanders said, I
knowin my heart lives were
saved today.
Six weeks before Rachel
was killed she had written a
paper entitled My Ethics,
My Code of Life. In that
paper she challenged the
reader to do randomacts of
kindness and help create a
chain reaction of compassion
and kindness. That paper and
Rachels life are what created
the program.
The event at Lackawanna
Trail was aimed to reach out
to children, teens and adults
about suicide and bullying
and being part of a chain
reaction. This event comes at
a tragic time for the commu-
nity as four teens fromLacka-
wanna County recently took
their own lives. Speaker Bob
Sanders relayed to all who
were in attendance a message,

When rais-
ing a child
with Autism,
so much time
is spent fo-
cusing on the
challenges.
Doug and
Patty Duguay
of Waverly can attest to this
firsthand. Their son, Dou-
glas, 15, was diagnosed as a
toddler. Throughout the diag-
nostic procedure, months
were spent documenting his
deficits, they said. Year after
year, whenever Douglas has
required services, his parents
have had to record all the
ways in which he is different
from other children. Recently
the beauty of those differ-
ences became crystal clear.
Douglas loves garbage
trucks. Since he was as
young as age 3, he would run
to the front window in the
predawn hours every Mon-
day. With glee, he would
ooh and aah at the big,
noisy DeNaples truck. He
soon came to realize that
they also came every other
Wednesday, for recyclables.
Around the time he was 6,
Patty took him out to see the
truck when it arrived at the
end of their driveway. Before

over you in a room where tables and
shelves are close packed with books in
jackets of many colors, prepare to indulge.
Area libraries are getting ready to host fall
book sales. Whether your taste runs to ro-
mance novels or experimental gardening, trea-
sures are bound to surface. But unlike other
pursuits, tracking down book sales is one pas-
sion you dont need to feel guilty about. Book
sales benefit yours, mine and ours.

Funds generated by book sales are greatly
needed said Leah Ducato Rudolph, Abington
Community Library director. Used in the past
to buy furniture or the sign in front of the li-
brary, profits are now more likely used for
new materials. Books purchased benefit the
wider community since they are available to

Editor:
There is a sun that rises in
Pennsylvania but once a year. It
may last a month, sometimes
less. It may showitself early and
set quick or last all four weeks,
until the winds and rains take it
away- not by clouding- but by
separating and dividing. Sep-
arating the leaves fromtheir
branches and thereby officially
dividing the season fromAu-
tumn to Fall.This sunlight
beams fromthe treetops down,
but it radiates fromthe colors
within. It blossoms and bubbles,
popping up newhues each
morning. Its the longest sunrise
and sunset in existence and it
seems four weeks is the perfect
amount of time. Its its own
month, its own day, its own light
cycle. If the Romans sawa
Pennsylvania autumn, they
wouldve made a God out of her,
conquered a country for her- at
least named a road after her.
Forget Cleopatra, Alexander
wouldnt have let this sun set on
his back. But enough philoso-
phic- leave that to the Greeks. It
is enough that we pay homage,
to this newsun, this newGod,
this newautumn.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Editor:
Does your dishwashing or
laundry detergent cause animals
to suffer and die in the infamous
force-feeding Lethal Dose 50
product test? What about your
toothpaste, lipstick, deodorant
or shampoo? Were rabbits
blinded in the Draize Eye Test
to make these products?
Every year millions of dogs,
cats, rabbits and other animals
are tortured and killed for cos-
metics and household products.
Some of these animals are for-
mer pets given up by their own-
ers or sold on free to good
home ads and purchased by
research facilities. There is no
lawthat requires companies to
test their products on animals,
but manyof these companies
continue to use these old and
archaic testing methods, which
are no longer needed.
There are over one-thousand
companies who do not test their
products on animals. They use
more modern and scientific
testing methods. And dont be
fooled by that cute animal on
the bottle of your shampoo, as
this company may still be test-
ing on animals. If you would
like a cruelty-free shopping
guide, go to peta.org. At the

it says cruelty-free lifestyle,

and Dont Test On Animals.

Every year, as students
dash out the door to their
first day of school with new
clothes, new backpacks and
new school supplies, moms
begin to worry. Will the stu-
dent have good teachers and
nice classmates? Will the
homework be overwhelming?
Will the school be safe?
Thousands and thousands
of moms each year turn those
concerns into prayers as they
gather to pray for children
and schools in Moms in
Prayer groups that meet in
every state in the U.S. and in
more than 140 countries
around the world.
In 1984, as Fern Nichols
sent her two eldest children
off to public junior high, she
asked God to bring her an-
other mom to pray with her
for their children and school.
The prayer ministry grew,
with groups now in such
countries as Pakistan, Russia,
China, Cuba and Mongolia.
In fact, Nichols, the president
and founder of Moms in
Prayer International, recently
returned from a trip to Tan-
zania, where the Country
Coordinator organized a
three-day event celebrating
20 years of Moms in Prayer
in her country.
A Moms in Prayer minis-
try has formed locally and
will be meeting every
Wednesday from 8:30 to 9:30
a.m. at Summit Baptist Bible
Church, 232 Noble Road,
Clarks Summit. Those who
have students who attend any
school in the Abington
Heights School District are
invited to attend.
For questions regarding the
Moms in Prayer Group,
contact Mary Dingler at
mdingler@cox.net.

J
ean Starks sunflower gar-
den is joy manifested in
many ways. Located on a
hillside adjacent to her home off
FairviewRoad, the sunflowers
which grewin her garden this
year and every year since 2009
are to Stark, fun to walk
among, an attraction fromthe
road and a surprising color and
size experience, considering
that she had 30 or more varie-
ties.
Some of the varieties included
in her garden named, The El-
isha Garden, after the father of
a gentleman who worked for her
are Autumn Beauty, Aztec Gold
Hybrid, Chianti Hybrid, Double
Dandy, Dwarf Sunspot and
Earth Walker.
Stark said of the garden,
which also hosts a dazzling and
profuse collection of among
others, Dahlias and Cosmos,
The Elisha Garden was my
first naming garden and came
fromthe father of a gentleman
working for me at the time. He
was fromBrazil, knewhis father
was dying of cancer, had visited
himrecently and then got the
phone call of notification of his
death while standing with me
working in the garden.
She designed the beds for
sunflower planting fromthe
beginning of her meadowgar-
den and is enamored by them
because, They are very easy to
plant in large areas and produce
such a fabulous product for the
effort involved. And now, in
October, as the blooms have
faded, Stark looks to the spring
and her next harvest .
She said, I always love being
with my flowers and have all the
best intentions of making next
years garden picture-perfect
with no weeds, manicured edg-
es, solid vegetation. But I realize
it will happen the way it does
and I will enjoy it as much as I
did this years.
While Stark does not collect
preserve the seeds for next
years planting, Sonia Mullally
Communications Director of the
National Sunflower Association
saidthe heads will be ready to
harvest when the back of the
head has turned brown. In
northern areas, this might be
after the first killing freeze. Snip
the head off the plant and rub
the seeds out by hand. If birds or
other pests are attacking , cut the
heads and hang themlike on-
ions often are dried. To ensure
that the seeds are mature, look
for the back of the head to be a
banana yellowto turning brown
before harvest. She suggested
sealing seeds in an air tight
container to preserve, but said it
is critical they have dried com-
pletely before storing them.

BY KASEY LYNN
CLARKS SUMMIT- Bor-
ough Council in Clarks Summit
discussed possible newreve-
nue streams at its regular work
session Sept. 25. The first in-
volved the soliciting of ad-
vertisements to local business-
es, to be placed on police and
EMAvehicles.
Councilman Patrick Williams
showed two examples of pos-
sible sizes for the ads, one 6
by16 inches and the other 8
by16 inches. He said they will
be placed on the rear quarter
panel of each side of the vehi-
cles.
Williams said the Borough
will reserve the right to reject
any ads it deems objectionable
or controversial, and the only
other responsibility the borough
will hold is to place the ad
stickers on the vehicles and
later remove them. The ad-
vertisers will be responsible for
designing and purchasing the
stickers.
Councilman Herman John-
son suggested the finance com-
mittee determine the rates.
Another possibility discussed
was that of selling parking
meter passes to local businesses
for the employees. Council
members discussed various
rates and ideas to bring the idea
into effect and determined to
discuss it further with some
local businesses.
Borough Manager Virginia
Kehoe said if it is something
Council would like to move
forward with, a newordinance
would have to be passed to
make it legal.
Council also discussed a
borough-owned property on
Sheridan Ave, questioning
whether it could bring in new
revenue, but after considering
several possibilities and not
coming to any conclusion, the
issue was tabled.
Another itemon the agenda
was the Junior Council, for
which Johnson said two appli-
cations were received. He said
both applicants are young men
and juniors at Abington Heights
High school. Council voted 4-0
in favor of accepting both to the
Junior Council, effective begin-
ning at the Oct. 3 meeting.
Attorney Carrie Buscarini
was present at the meeting
regarding a property she wishes
to purchase on Stone Avenue
for use as an office for her law
practice. Kehoe said plans were
presented to and discussed by
the planning commission, and
added that Buscarini will need a
permit for her sign.
Council members inquired
about parking plans for the
property and Buscarini said she
plans to have a handicapped
parking area designated at the
front of the 108-foot-long drive-
way, which has roomfor six
vehicles, nose to tail. She said
there is also parking available
on the other side of Stone Ave,
should the practice require
more parking spots, which she
does not foresee.
Kehoe said the itemwill be
put to vote at the Oct. 3 meet-
ing.
Other items discussed in-
cluded a proposed cell phone
use policy, which Council voted
unanimously against after brief
discussion; a resolution sup-
porting the police in a new
truck-weighing project, which
Council voted unanimously in
favor of; a letter froma resident
about roads in need of repair;
brush pickups; the possibility of
the borough occupying a table
in the lower level of the bor-
ough building during the Fall
Fun Festival Oct. 20 and an
upcoming informational event
regarding fracking safety in
Montrose, which will be attend-
ed by the EMAcoordinators.

and resources to individuals
with disabilities as they
build and lead their lives in
the community. Its done by
providing advocacy, home
and community supports and
education.
A large part of the focus
now is on the Childrens
Center in Clarks Summit
which has been in existence
since the 1980s. Due to rain
damage and flooding, the
building needs repair, said
Ginsberg..
He spoke about his role of
supporting the board of di-
rectors and overcoming ob-
stacles such as funding prob-
lems. The biggest challenge
is replacing money cut by
the state and federal govern-
ment and the United Way, he
said.
One of the biggest things
people dont understand is
that we provide much need-
ed services across the board
of developmental disabil-
ities. Were not exclusive to
Cerebral Palsy. Its where we
started, but now weve
adapted to all disabilities
including Down syndrome.
Some of the Childrens
Center programs involve an
early intervention from birth
to age three. On staff are
occupational therapists, spe-
cial needs staff, physical
therapists and speech ther-
apists. This staff will go into
homes or a typical day envi-
ronment so that each child
has a specific plan with his
or her family to achieve
goals. Other programs in-
clude a play program called
Lekotek, specifically out of
the Clarks Summit office. It
inspires children to learn
and grow, work with a teach-
er and have parents and sib-
lings involved. Adaptive toys
are available for loan. A play
group meets once each
month and can be a great
resource for parents, he said.
Ginsberg has been work-
ing with the disabled in dif-
ferent settings such as
camps, community centers
and agencies since college.
On his wish list is adding at
least six new board members
and initiating a mammoth
capital campaign for the
new Childrens Center in
Clarks Summit. The plan is
to reach out to businesses
and the community as a
whole. Anyone wishing to
get involved or make a do-
nation can contact: Sarah
Drob, United Cerebral Palsy,
425 Wyoming Avenue,
Scranton 18503. Interested
parties can also go to their
website at www.ucpnepa-
.com.
Ginsberg and his wife
Sandra resides in Scranton.
They have three children:
Jodi, 49; Jeffrey, 47 and
Neil, 44 and three grand-
children, Dehlia, 14; Clay, 18
and Tabatha, 3.

all Lackawanna County li-
brary patrons. Abington is the
2nd largest library in the sys-
tem. Book sales do a commu-
nity good. Not only a time for
willing hands to come togeth-
er in support of the library,
sales are often held in con-
junction with the annual blue-
berry, garlic or lumberjack
festival. Tunkhannock Public
Librarys sale coincides with
the Airing of the Quilts.
We have to have the book
sale, says Tunkhannock di-
rector Kristin Smith-Gary
citing a 40 percent drop in
state aid since 2009. Kudos to
volunteers who sort the Grish-
ams and Greenes from the
motorcycle manuals. Shu Qiu,
director of Dalton Community
Library calls them heroes.
Its no exaggeration. Sorting
and setting up 10,000 books
isnt a job for the fainthearted.
Mine (personal benefit)
A two-pound volume on
ponds, lavishly illustrated, a
softcover how-to manual on
the same topic and a pristine
field guide on North Amer-
ican birds ring up to over $100
in the bookstore. At a book
sale, they cost less than the
price of a latte. Cooking and
art books, biographies and
novels to supply two read-
ersall winter, Caldecott win-
ners for the kids can be had
for pennies on the dollar.
Ours (the planet)
Literally, tons of books
trade hands instead of being
trashed. Books in good condi-
tion can be donated and re-
donated. Intangible rewards
are harder to quantify: knowl-
edge shared, love of reading
nurtured, community fostered.
Much as the funds are needed,
library heads agree that get-
ting literature in the hands of
those who need it is the main
objective. Bibles donated to
the Abington book sale are
given in turn to the county
prison. Tunkhannock library
maintains an ongoing book
sale, a boon to a community
not served by a book store as
well as the many homeschool-
ers in the area.
The one time self-control
may be required is at Dalton
librarys twice yearly book
and bake sale where the home
baked goodies are legendary.
Book sales are a win-win
way to support your local
library. Savvy shoppers check
dates and times (some sales
offer previews) bring a sturdy
bag or two, and honor rules
about using cell phones and
scanners. Museums and his-
torical societies also depend
on book sales to stay in busi-
ness. www.booksalefinder-
.com has information on sales
across the country and can
even send you an email alert.

able credit card charges and
checks, amounting to
$99,228.24, stating in the
conclusion that Zielinski
should be held accountable
for the entire amount.
At the Ransom townships
regular Board of Supervisors
meeting held at Mount De-
wey Community Center Oct.
1, the supervisors announced
copies of the 72-page Foren-
sic Audit Report are available
to the public at $19 per copy.
Secretary-Treasurer Sarah
Griggs said copies can be
obtained by visiting the
Township Building on Hicko-
ry Lane and filling out a
Right to Know form along
with a $19 check payable to
Ransom Township.
Many residents had several
questions during the meeting
for the supervisors and Town-
ship Solicitor Edmund Scac-
chitti regarding the audit and
charges against Zielinski. Bill
Auriemma questioned how
the personal checks to Zielin-
ski passed through the Super-
visors, who signed them.
Auriemma asked, For five
years, you signed bills for
credit cards and never saw a
transaction going to Sams
Club, going to Rite Aid, go-
ing to...tires? You never saw
transactions going out to
them? Thats unbelievable,
thats hard to believe. Why
would you sign a check with-
out reading what you were
signing?
Supervisor David Bird said,
Do I feel like I have a fault
in this? Absolutely. Im not
going to sit here and lie and
say I didnt. But we did watch
what we signed...Everybody
in this room, if you want to
pounce on us, you have every
right. We have fault at this,
but we werent 100 percent
wrong. We had a professional
auditor that missed this for
five years.
The Ransom Township
Forensic Accounting Investi-
gation Report states, In or-
der to find the actual dollar
amount of the misappropri-
ations, Ms. Zielinski will
have to prove what credit card
charges were for the benefit
of the Township and to pro-
vide evidence that the non-
payroll checks made payable
to her were to reimburse her
for money spent on the
Townships behalf.
The report continues,
Some of the credit card
changes were clearly not for
the Township transactions. It
then lists a sample of some of
those charges, including:
$796.17 to Bass Pro Online;
$304.18 to Big & Tall Facto-
ry; $1,636.75 to Boscovs;
$1,465.14 to Catherines
(dress shop); $100 to Dioce-
san Annual Appeal Scranton,
PA; $85.46 to Dress Barn,
Hershey, PA; $3,206.06 to
Gerritys; $839.78 to Joes
Kwik Mart; $508 to PA
Nails; $604.48 to Petsmart
and $4,974.51 to Sheetz.
This is just a sample of the
questionable transactions,
the report states. There were
many others.
The report also recom-
mended the township put
better accounting internal
controls in place and stated,
The Board [of Supervisors]
should take whatever action
is required to recover the
amount of the misappropri-
ated funds and reimburse-
ment for the cost of this fo-
rensic accounting investiga-
tion.
According to the police
affidavit, Zielinski served as
township secretary for ap-
proximately 18 years prior to
her resignation in March
2012.
Contemporaneous with her
resignation, Zielinski issued a
personal check in the amount
of $1,065 to the township
toward reimbursement of
misappropriated funds, the
affidavit said.
According to the affidavit,
Zielinski confessed to Penn-
sylvania State Police Corpo-
ral Benjamin Clark July 18
that she used her township
issued credit card for person-
al expenses and claimed she
was unaware of the amounts
involved. Zielinski also con-
fessed that she had paid her
personal electric bills along
with the township bills. She
was surprised to learn that
she had done so 46 times and
was unaware of the amounts,
the affidavit said.
Ransom Township Super-
visor Bud Brown expressed
his feeling of betrayal follow-
ing the arraignment.
Its been a hardship for the
township, Brown said.
When you put your trust in
somebody and they do this to
youit really hurts. It hurts
us as supervisors and it hurts
the township.
Brown added that the Su-
pervisors will be much more
observant of township affairs
in the future.
We will continue to do
business, but it wont be busi-
ness as usual, he said.
Were going to be very vigi-
lant. We just dont want to see
what happened now, happen
again. We cant afford it. It
would ruin our township.
Supervisor Bird, who also
serves as Road Master, ex-
plained the investigation put a
halt on the townships
planned road work.
We had a lot of road pro-
jects scheduled for this year,
he said. We did not do any
of it, only because we didnt
know where we stood with
the audits.
Both Zielinski and her
attorney, Frank J. Bolock Jr.,
declined to comment leaving
the courtroom Sept. 25.

Ransom Township Super-
visors meeting, see the Oct.
10 print edition of The
Abington Journal.

Damion Piotrowski, 22, is a
senior at Keystone College, in La
Plume, where his major is in
business and minor in sports and
recreation. He is in the Amer-
iCorps Scholar program at the
college, and volunteers about
once a week at Oak Leaf Ther-
apeutic Horsemanship Center
in Factoryville, where he helps
out in the stalls and completes
other odd jobs that need to be done. He said his
favorite part about volunteering at the center is
working with the horses.
Being next to them and being with them, he
said, is soothing, and theyre very nice.
He said his work there also benefits his educa-
tion, especially from a business perspective, in
seeing how a non-profit organization operates.
Its different than what a normal business can
do, he said. Its interesting to see the marketing
plans and what the business is doing and the
growth and how things develop. That has all real-
ly helped in school.
Loretta Dragon, owner, founder and executive
director of the farm, said, I like to bring in vol-
unteers. I like college students to come in and
volunteer so they can see how a business runs.
Bria Smargiassi, 13, is an
eighth grade student at North
Pocono Middle School. This
past summer, she began vol-
unteering at Marleys Mis-
sion, where she does barn
chores, helps out with sum-
mer camps and events and
spends time with the horses.
She said her favorite horse is
a tall, dark brown male
named Indy.
She said she enjoys con-
necting with both the horses
and the kids there and feels
its a place where she can say
whatever is on her mind with-
out being judged by other people.
April Loposky, program director and founder
of Marleys Mission, said Bria does a great job
with the horses and is well-liked by the kids.
They (the kids) can look up to her and aspire to
be like her, she said.
Bria said shes thankful for the way everyone
at Marleys Mission accepted her into the
family.
Im so happy they let me into Team Mar-
leys and I will always be apart of it, she said.

Halloween is right around the
corner. There are decorations ev-
erywhere, some are fun and some
can be scary. Here are my thoughts
on the scare factor of the 10 most
popular Halloween decorations.
10. Pumpkins. They dont really
scare me. Come on, they could be a
pie. But they are very pretty when
lit.
9. Scarecrows. Nice, but not
scary. I think its awesome that they
make witch scarecrows.
8. Witches. I dont like them,
especially their noses. They can be
creepy, but not always. I have never
seen The Wizard of Oz, so dont
take my opinion on witches.
7. Zombies. Zombies are cool, but
not really for me. Lots of Halloween
costumes for zombies lately and it
would be easy to make your own.
6. Ghosts. Just arent scary.
Sometimes I feel bad for the kids
who like ghosts when they go trick-
or -treating because the costume is
boring.
5. Masks. These can be the scari-
est part of Halloween because you
dont know who is behind them!
4. Moveable/floating decora-
tions. My neighbor had a ghost
that would float from the porch to
the tree. It didnt really scare me,
but was still pretty cool.
3. Spiderwebs. They are a Hallo-
ween tradition and thats why I like
them. Pretty cool, but no doubt a
little scary. And dont get stuck in
them. 2. Blowup decorations. Yard
decorations are nice, but I dont
think they are necessary. Theyre
just inflatable things that people
call scary. I mean, who is afraid of
Snoopy?
1. Skeletons. I absolutely love
them. Yes, they are scary. But that
is why they are awesome. Its edu-
cational at the same time as creepy.
Mariah Mancuso
MY OPINION
Mariah Mancuso is a third grade student at
St. Marys of Mount Carmel School in Dun-
more. This nine-year-old plans to be a bum-
blebee for Halloween this year, but she really
loved being a baby pumpkin years ago.
Name: Jane Honchell
Hometown: Glenburn
Job Titles: Associate Professor
of Communication Arts and Hu-
manities at Keystone College. She
serves as Director of Theatre at
Keystone
Coolest part of your job: I
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE directing
student productions. Thats the
most fun part of my job, but Im
also crazy about teaching.
What is one production for
which you wish you designed
costumes?: Ive
designed costumes
for many of
Keystones plays
and for local
community the-
atre groups, but I
think it would be
Today, Im more partial to Milky
Ways.
What is the best Halloween
costume that you have ever
seen?: The best Halloween cos-
tume I ever saw was one some-
ones mother made when I was in
grade school. It was a magnificent
Chinese dragon, and three of four
kids fit under it. But my favorite
Halloween costume was one my
mother made for me. I was Little
Miss Muffet, and she included a
bowl and spoon (for my curds and
whey) for me to carry. The best
part was that she took the base
of an old wheeled toy my little
sister had outgrown, and at-
tached a great big spider,
which she made by hand. I
remember that I won a prize!
Any tips or how-
tos on how to make
your own Halloween
costume at home?:
Use found objects!
Plastic garbage bags, old alumi-
num pie plates, paper doilies,
pasta shapes: they all can be
fashioned easily, quickly and
inexpensively into really fun cos-
tumes. You just need a little glue,
some sequins, paint and a lot of
imagination. To me, these original
costumes are the very best kind,
and kids never forget them.
thrilling to design costumes from
some really epic Broadway pro-
duction, like an opera, or a ballet
like Swan Lake or The Nut-
cracker. As far as plays go, I love
designer/director Julie Taymors
work, so I guess I would have
liked to have the vision she had
when she designed The Lion
King.
When you were a kid, what
did you want to be when you
grew up?: When I was a kid, I
wanted to be A: a cowboy; B: a
paleontologist and C: a writer and
teacher. ( I guess one out of
threes not bad!
If you could be a kid again
and go trick-or-treating this
Halloween, what would you
dress as?: Ooohhhh. What
would I wear for Halloween? Id
love to go as Queen Elizabeth (the
first one, NOT the second.). She
had such gorgeous, ornate outfit-
salmost like costumes, when
you think about it!
What is your favorite Hallo-
ween candy?:When I used to go
trick- or -treating as a kid, my
favorites were 3 Musketeers bars.

Did you knowhorses can be
heroes?
Ahero is someone who does
brave or noble things to help
others. Ahorse can be a hero to
a person who is sad, lonely or
scared when the animal helps
himor her overcome those feelings. Horses can also help people who are sick or in pain to get better
through physical therapy.
Some farms have horses that are used as therapists, and to some people, those horses are heroes.
Oak Leaf Therapeutic Horsemanship Center in Factoryville is one such place. Loretta Dragon, owner,
founder and executive director of the farm, said she thinks of her 14 horses as her partners in helping peo-
ple who have difficulty, autism, CP (Cerebral Palsy) and strokes.
Marleys Mission in Lake Ariel (soon to move to Newton Township), is another place where horses are
heroes. It is a non-profit organization with the motto Horses Healing Children. It gives free equine-based
(having to do with horses) therapy to children and families who have experienced trauma (had really bad
things happen to them).
Both of these places have many heroes besides the horses. These are the people who volunteer their time
to help take care of the horses and get involved in the programs there. Read about two of those heroes below.

Dont let anything keep you
from making your kids feel
100 percent of compassion,
kindness and safety.
During the entire program,
the audience was silent. Three
sisters attended together:
Amanda Madan, Lackawanna
Trail High School and Melis-
sa Madan and Morgan Madan
Lackawanna Trail Elementary
Center all saw the program at
the school that same morning
but wanted to see the program
again.
I saw it during school and I
just wanted to see it again,
said Amanda.
Karen Rozanski, a native of
Colorado, who lived near
Denver for years said she was
attending because of parental
concern and advocacy for the
program. She said its close to
home for her because she
lived near Columbine High
School and the recent movie
theater shooting in Colorado
this past summer.
Sanders said 160,000 stu-
dents skip school every day
out of fear of bullies or of
being alone. Sanders said the
problem is that children want
to feel accepted, they want to
know that theyre not alone.
He added, If youre a stu-
dent thats a have, dont let a
day go by where you dont
help a have not.
He told the audience to
fight for the hearts of chil-
dren, to push the stuff hes
saying because children are
dying.
Many students from Lacka-
wanna Trail came to watch the
presentation again and many
got involved in Rachels Chal-
lenge. Lackawanna Trail
School District has a banner
for the students to sign to
show commitment to Rachels
Challenge and to random acts
of kindness. The district aims
to be part of the chain reaction
that Rachel Joy Scott talked
about in her paper.

Rachels Challenge visit:

Students fromlocal
schools, as well as schools
around the world, gathered
last Wednesday morning,
Sept. 26 around their flag-
poles to pray.
The annual global event,
See You At The Pole was
attended by students in
Abington Heights, Lake-
land and Lackawanna Trail
school districts. This years
theme was Awaken.
At Abington Heights
High School, student leader
Lizzie Walker told the
group of more than 50
circled around the flagpole,
Our God is so limited in
our heads, reminding
themHe is much bigger
than they can imagine.
He is powerful enough,
she continued, to flip
Abington Heights High
School upside-down for
him.
The students then divid-
ed into smaller groups to
pray individually for their
school, friends, country
and community.
The numbers:
At Abington Heights
Middle School, about 25
students showed up at 7
a.m. for the beginning of
the event, a number that
doubled by about 20 min-
utes later.
At Abington Heights
High School, about 55-60
students and nine adminis-
tration/faculty members
were present throughout
the event.
At Lakeland High
School, 26 students attend-
ed the event, which lasted
about 45 minutes, accord-
ing to student leader Be-
thany Spears.
At Lackawanna Trail
High School, a group of 19
students gathered for
prayer, according to student
leader Gabby Sunseri.

In a ceremony Sept. 20, the
students and faculty at Scran-
ton Preparatory School cele-
brated the schools desig-
nation as No Place for Hate,
having completed a year of
anti-bias and anti-bullying
programs.
The school received an
official designation banner to
commemorate its completion
of all requirements. To earn
this distinction, the school
formed a No Place for Hate
committee, adopted a resolu-
tion pledging to promote
equality, harmony and respect
at the school and implemented
a number of anti-bullying
awareness projects.
Projects completed included
an in-service program for
faculty that provided anti-
bullying training for all staff
members. They also held a
schoolwide essay contest on
prevention of bullying. Addi-
tionally, Scranton Preparatory
School students devoted a
special issue of the school
paper to the topic of bullying .
Prep gains
recognition
Abington Heights Middle
School will hold assemblies
Oct. 5.
Alvin Law, a motivational
speaker, will speak to the
students about tolerance, di-
versity and mutual respect.
As a school community, we
are committed to fostering
respectful relationships, and
we want to make sure that all
our students understand how
their words and actions can
help or hurt each other, said
Middle School Assistant Prin-
cipal Eduardo Antonetti.

long, the men who worked on
the truck asked his name.
Do you want to work on a
garbage truck someday? they
would ask as he stood with his
mother in his pajamas. You
better not take my job, Dou-
glas, they would tease. Patty
marveled at how friendly the
drivers, Fernando and Jose,
were to her son. The interac-
tions quickly became a favor-
ite part of Douglas routine.
Douglas looked forward to
them coming, she explained.
They would always blow
their horn and let Douglas
watch them use the crusher
mechanism. It was really good
for his socialization skills
because they engage him. It
makes his day every time.
A few years ago, they
brought him a present. The
driver of the recycling truck
and company owner Patrick
DeNaples Jr., heard that Dou-
glas birthday was coming.
We need to get him a pre-
sent, he said. Hes so excited
about garbage trucks. De-
Naples and his coworker,
Dino, arrived one Wednesday
with a remote control, toy
garbage truck. Anytime he
wants to come down and tour
the plant, wed love to have
him, said DeNaples. Patty
Duguay took him up on his
offer this past summer. At the
business site in Dunmore,
they were met by DeNaples
son, Mike.
Mike stopped what he was
doing, Duguay explained.
He showed us around and
even took Douglas for a ride.
He gave Douglas books about
garbage trucks and a bright
yellow shirt, just like the guys
on the truck wear. Everyone
there was so polite and so nice
to us.
Douglas posed in front of
countless trucks while his
mother snapped photographs.
One of his favorites was the
oldest truck in the yard, the
first truck the company own-
ed.
Since the tour, Douglas
wears his yellow DeNaples
shirt to bed every Sunday
night, his mom said. That way
he is ready to greet his friends
on the truck early Monday
morning. Just when Duguay
thought the generosity could
not be topped, it was.
Douglas turned 15 on Au-
gust 30, she said. That Mon-
day the garbage truck with the
regular team drove down the
street, followed by Patrick
DeNaples Jr. in his recycling
truck. Horns were blowing
and the men yelled birthday
wishes. Douglas was absolute-
ly thrilled when they present-
ed him with a personalized,
huge, toy truck. His name and
the DeNaples name are both
painted on it. I cant tell you
what it meant to him.
They just out-do them-
selves. Its a wonderful feel-
ing, knowing that people care
so much for Douglas.
Patrick De-
Naples Jr. , in
truck, and his
team presented
Douglas Du-
guay, in front,
with a person-
alized, huge, toy
truck on his
birthday.

We were joined at the
Schwartzs by a group of very
close friends. Additionally,
our daughter Ellen, a sopho-
more at Muhlenberg College
in Allentown was able to
come home and be with us.
Her school actually closes for
Yom Kippur. Our son, An-
drew, a Civil Engineer work-
ing in the Philadelphia sub-
urbs, was unable to come
home for Holy Day this year,
said Abby Smith.
Part of the fun of the break
fast celebration is cooking
with wonderful food, said
Abby, who brought her home-
made Noodle Kugel (Pud-
ding) to the Schwartz home
before the Yom Kippur Holy
Day started. Every family
that was there brought some-
thing to eat, whether a main or
side dish, drinks or desserts.
Wonderful food was in abun-
dance to feed the 25 or so
people that were together to
break fast after our Holy Day.
The break fast meal, which
is traditionally centered on
fish and dairy products, in-
cluded bagels; smoked salm-
on; creamed and pickled her-
ring; egg salad; tuna fish;
white fish salad; Blintzes;
noodle pudding; fruits; juices;
wine and homemade desserts.
Yom Kippur is the holiest
day of the year and is called
the Sabbath of all Sabbaths,
she explained. Yom Kippur is
the holiday that brings all
members of congregations to
their individual synagogues,
and within their circle of
friends who gathered to ob-
serve the break fast, were
three denominations or sects
of the Jewish faith: Reform,
Conservative and Orthodox
Jews.
According to Jewish tradi-
tion, on Rosh Hashanah, God
inscribes each persons fate
for the coming year into a
book, the Book of Life, and
waits until Yom Kippur to
seal the verdict.
During Yom Kippur, peo-
ple of the Jewish faith come
together to pray, atone for our
sins, to remember our ances-
tors, and search for ways to
better ourselves in the coming
year, said Abby.
On an individual level, for
Abby and Herb Smith, Yom
Kippur evokes thoughts of
prayer and meditation; atone-
ment; asking forgiveness to
those we have sinned and
granting forgiveness to those
who have sinned against us;
remembrance of dearly de-
parted; counting blessings;
being in Temple all day and
fasting from sundown to sun-
down.

ON A ROLL
COURTESY JACK HIDDLESTONE
SCOTT TWP. - In a move
that could not be helped, the
Lakeland School Board ap-
proved to move ahead, with the
proposed needed repairs to the
high school. The board ap-
proved to go ahead with the
purchase of $3.5 million in
bonds at an interest percentage
rate of 2.637. With that the
board has approved to pay back
a total amount of around $4.5
million over the next 18 years.
The district is planning to
use the bond funds to replace
the current high school roof
and mechanical equipment,
with bids proposed to come in
the month of October, from
contractors.
With the approval of the
bond the board also moved to
approve to submit a high
school renovation plan, with an
estimate of $6.5 million. The
board will submit the proposal
to the Department of Educa-
tion for consideration of a re-
imbursement.
The board will review the
first phase of the roof work
and then proceed with the next
phase

It is hard to believe that the
Dietrichs Fall Film Festival is
winding down. I have to agree
with our film bookers Hildy
Morgan and Jeffrey Jacobs
that this festival was the best
yet. My favorite film of the
festival was The Intouchables.
It contained all the ingredients
of a stellar film comedy,
heart, a little sadness and in-
spiration. I just loved seeing it
in a full theater and hearing
the audience react to it. If you
havent seen it yet, there is still
time. The Intouchables will
be showing this Thursday, Oct.
4 at 7:30 p.m. It is definitely a
must see.
Even though the festival
officially ends this Thursday,
the Dietrich invites you to join
us on Friday, Oct.5 at 10 a.m.
at the Tioga Bistro, which is
across the street from the Die-
trich for a Post-Festival Dis-
cussion. Facilitated by film
buff extraordinaire Hildy Mor-
gan, this event, will give you
the opportunity to talk about
the significance of some of the
films in the festival, ask ques-
tions and meet other foreign,
independent and art film
goers. There is no need to
register for the discussion. Just
show up.
Then on Saturday, Oct. 6 the
Dietrich and the rest of Tunk-
hannock will be celebrating
quilts for our towns 11th An-
nual Airing of the Quilts. It is
a rain or shine event. Fiber
artist and quilt designer Joyce
Hughes will be at the theater at
11 a.m. that day for her pre-
sentation on My Journey Into
Quilting. During this talk she
will share how she got in-
volved in quilting as well as
her design inspirations. She is
currently a finalist in McCalls
quilt design contest. Tickets
are $5 each to the presentation
and can be picked up at the
door or reserved before hand
by calling 570.996.1500. After
Joyces presentation, her hand-
bags and other designs will be
for sale at the Dietrich. The
Dietrich will also be exhibiting
Tunkhannock resident Kent
Wards scrap quilts for Airing
of the Quilts through mid No-
vember. View this unique

that are machine-pieced and

have Fern Boyces 80-Year-Old
Quilt on display. The quilt
blocks were created by her
mother and then put together
by Fern and five friends. Its a
gorgeous quilt with a wonder-
ful story.
On Airing of the Quilts, the
Dietrich will also have hand-
painted pumpkins for sale as
well as scarecrows and yummy
pumpkin baked goods. All
proceeds from these sales will
help underwrite cultural and

lthough the old church building at
14001 Church Hill Road, Clarks
Summit, is no longer a place of
worship, for some, it is still a place
of peace.
Transformed by Scranton business owners
Todd and Amy Jones into an artisans mar-
ketplace, the structure still contains a rustic
feel and relaxed atmosphere, according to
many of the employees and artisans associ-
ated with the store called Willow Tree Shop.
It was a sanctuary, said Chandra Ruyak,
who works and sells her handmade jewelry
there. It still is.
She added that when the church building,
which Amy Jones said has a history dating
back to the 1890s, was turned into a store, its
integrity was preserved.
The Willow Tree Shop has experienced so
much enthusiasm already from our new
neighbors here in Clarks Summit, Jones
said. We are very excited to be opening this
second location here.
She said she and her husband opened Wil-
low Tree Shops first location in Scranton
about six-and-a-half years ago, and as the
business continued to grow, they felt the need
to open a second location in their hometown.
Both shops feature items for sale by local
artisans, from dog clothes, to homemade
soap, to food items, to refurbished antique
furniture and more. The Clarks Summit loca-
tion will also begin offering various craft
classes starting Oct. 4 in its studio.

CLARKS SUMMIT- Comedian
Kerri Pomarolli will just about dance
herself right out to center stage at Bap-
tist Bible College in Clarks Summit.
The Dearborn, Mich. native will per-
formOct. 12 at the Phelps Student Cen-
ter at Baptist Bible College.
Pomarolli said she found her comedic
calling at age 2 when her parents taught
her to tell jokes. I think people thought
I was a midget at parties. If they had
taught me math, maybe Id be an ac-
countant right now? lol she said in an
email interview.
But instead of comedy her mother
was pushing her into dance classes. By
the age of 11, Pomarolli was on her way
to becoming a professional dancer when
she was diagnosed with Scoliosis. After
a spinal fusion surgery, her dreams of
dancing were over. But Pomarolli did
not turn to comedy right away.
When I was no longer able to dance
in the way I wanted, I reached out to a
local theater. I got the acting bug too and
have been acting ever since, said Poma-
rolli.
At the age of 17, Pomarolli performed
in the Greek Operetta The Bacchae in
Italy. She continued acting through
college and received her Theater BFA
fromthe University of Michigan. After
college she moved to Los Angeles and
completed a two- year programat Sec-
ond City. But the Michigan native found
it hard to keep her faith pursuing acting
in Los Angeles. It was about that time,
Pomarolli claims that God told her that
she was to do stand-up comedy.
Pomarollis go-to joke? She said, If
someone says Say something funny
my husband taught me to say nice
shirt!
Soon after turning to comedy, Poma-
rolli landed a performance at the world
famous Hollywood Improv and her
career exploded fromthere.
Pomarolli has made 29 television
appearances on shows and networks
such as The Tonight Show, Comedy
Central, The View, Nick at Night,
ABC, NBCandFOXamong others. She
is not only a veteran of TVbut she of
writing as well.
The comedian has published three
books, her most recent one being,
Guys Like Girls Named Jennie. In
addition she has also had eight articles
published in Radiant Magazine and her
column in Chronicle Christian Newspa-
per was voted Best Column, First Place
by the Fellowship of Christian Newspa-
pers.
Pomarolli has been able to keep her
faith and her sense of humor throughout
her life fromscoliosis to her career ups
and downs, and has made a name for
herself in the comedy world. As her
mother said on Pomarollis website,
shes a good girl.
Well, in all honesty, I really call my-
self an evangelist who happens to do
comedy. I never set out for that. But God
knewI had a big mouth and He could
use me to talk about him. Howmany
comedians can say theyve seen salva-
tions and healings after all the jokes? I
can and I love it, said Pomarolli.
I amexcited to be on a college cam-
pus because that age group is my favor-
ite audience. They are old enough to get
my sarcasmand still young enough to
knowtheir journey is just beginning. If I
can influence someone in school to use
this time wisely and maybe not make a
lot of the mistakes I did. Ive done my
job. And I love it.
Pomarolli is the guest performer for
the Celebration on the Summit. Exec-
utive Director of Communications &
Marketing at Baptist Bible College, Ken
Knelly said, Celebration on the Summit
is a special annual time that helps re-
connect alumni and friends with
BBC&S and each other. Numerous
events are popular and fun.
Celebration on the Summit will take
place Oct. 8 to13 and will include, the
performance by Pomarolli, post-comedy
fireworks, a Bible conference on Major
Lessons fromthe Minor Prophets,
Alumni Meet and Greet, Alumni
Awards, soccer and volleyball games, as
well Homecoming and Family Day
festivities.
These are unique events that attract
many area residents, who are able to
enjoy the showand post-event fireworks
on campus, said Knelly.

event. For more information about Po-

SPORTS
Clarks Summit, Pa. OCTOBER 3 TO OCTOBER 9, 2012 50
I
n 2012, Abington Heights High
School and the rest of the Lacka-
wanna League hosts cross country
teams. However, 50 years ago the sport
barely existed in the area until the
vision of a newcoach, John Kelly.
Kelly created the cross country team
at Abington Heights in1963.
I ran cross country in college and
then I went to Oregon for my masters
degree and worked with Bill Bow-
erman who was one of the great track
and cross country coaches of all time,
Kelly said. When I got the job at
Abington Heights, they were looking
to start a cross country programand I
was excited to do it.
Kelly recruited athletes who ran
track among others looking to compete
in a fall sport.
I think at Abington the kids were
hungry for something like that, Kelly
said. Alot of themwerent cut out to
be football players and soccer wasnt a
sport in those days.
Because of the lack of cross country
teams in the area, Abington Heights
didnt have the opportunity to race in a
district meet.
Because our record was so good,
we were selected to go to the neigh-
boring regional meet to compete with
the best teams fromthe Allentown and
Bethlehemarea,1963 Abington
Heights cross country teammember
Larry Edwards said. Our teamwon
that regional and one of our runners,
Frank Tilley, was the champion.
Because of the teams success,
Abington Heights earned a spot in the
state championship meet at the Penn
State University Golf Course.
There were between100 and 200
runners in the race, and that was the
biggest race any of us had participated
in, Edwards said. When the gun went
60 years running: A.H. set the pace

The Abington Junior Come-
ts cheerleaders showed their
skills at the annual Northern
Area Junior Football League
Cheer Competition in Strouds-
burg Sept. 29.
Nearly 150 Abington area
girls, accompanied by their
coaches and families, met in
the predawn hours of the
damp, chilly morning. The
group caravaned through the
fog-filled Poconos to be host-
ed on the field of the Monroe
Saints. The cheerleaders had
been practicing an average of
four nights per week since
mid-July to hone their skills
and perfect their routines.
Ages 7-14, the girls are
coached by Abington Heights
High School cheerleaders and
volunteer parents.
The all-day event got off to
a rocky start. Wet field condi-
tions caused a lengthy delay,
which was eventually ended
by a Board vote to begin. The
Abington girls had more than
wet grass and cold to contend
with though, as one of their
own, Ashley DeRiso, 12, a
member of the A South team,
suffered a dangerous fall from
a mount.
During the delay, Ashleys
mother, Dawn DeRiso, ex-
plained, Ashley and her team-
mates were warming up and
running through their routines.
The grass was wet which
caused her to slip and fall out
of a mount. She landed head
first and lost consciousness
briefly, but luckily there was
an EMT in the crowd who
checked on her. She sipped
water and rested but then she
became nauseous. Thats when
we called for the ambulance.
The other cheerleaders
were amazing, DeRiso con-
tinued. The paramedics were
stunned at how all the girls
from her team and the others,
reacted. They took the fallen
player pose like when a foot-
ball player is down on the
field. Even the little C team
girls were down on one knee.
As they loaded her in the am-
bulance with her head taped to
the back board, she was smil-
ing. They were all chanting
her name.
Ashley was taken to the
Pocono Medical Center where
she was treated for a concus-
sion and released. On Sunday,
Ashley was recuperating at
home.
Abington sent six teams to
the competition. The A teams
are composed of girls ages
12-14 who have not yet en-

REACHING AGREEMENT
Diffcult fnancial times often compel some drivers to go without automobile
insurance. Drivers who drive uninsured should know that, if they fnd themselves
being sued for causing accidents, they will have to arrange to hire an attorney
who can defend them in a law suit. If they are found liable for causing damages, a
judgement will be entered by the court for a specifc sum of money based on the
extent of the damage proved in the lawsuit. This could be a considerable amount.
If the liable party is unable to pay the full amount of the judgement the party who
obtained the judgement becomes a creditor and could institute legal proceedings
to collect the money.
Have you been injured in an accident with an uninsured driver? Or maybe youve
been hurt and the insurance company doesnt want to pay? If so, please call me.
ImAmil M. Minora and I have years of experience representing clients in a
wide variety of personal injury cases, so you can be confdent that I can help you
win the money that you deserve. And I am happy to take these sort of cases on
a contingency basis, which means you dont pay until you win. call (570) 961-

THROOP Mid Valley found
what other teams who faced
Lackawanna Trail High School
might have thought did not
exist: Away to contain the Li-
ons explosive offense.
The Spartans held Lackawan-
na Trail to season-lows of 21
points and 91rushing yards in
Friday nights 34-21victory over
the previously-undefeated Li-
ons.
Mid Valleys defense made
big plays all game, including an
early fourth-down stop that led
to the Spartans first scoring
drive of the game and seemingly
constant pressure of Lions
senior quarterback Zack Good-
rich that resulted in several
sacks.
Mid Valley head coach Frank
Pazzaglia said his teamwas
dominant in every area of play.
That was by far our best
overall effort, offensively and
defensively, Pazzaglia said.
Theyve [Lackawanna Trail]
been scoring a ton of points. I
thought defensively we did a
real good job stopping them.
The Spartans relied on junior
Tyler Collins to lead the ground
attack, and he did not disap-
point. Collins pounded his way
to130 yard on 23 carries. He
said the key to his success on the
ground was the excellent play of
the teams line.
My line played great to-
night, Collins said. I wouldnt
have got as many yards as I did
without their blocking.
Collins presence on the
ground opened the game up for
Mid Valleys passing game.
Junior quarterback Martin
Walsh threwfor three touch-
downs and177 yards. Senior
Ron Tomasetti made things easy
for his quarterback, using his
speed and height advantage to
the fullest to catch six passes for
a game-high160 receiving yards
and two score.
The Lions went blow-for-
blowwith the Spartans in a first
half. Goodrich answered a 48-
yard touchdown pass to Toma-
setti with a 20-yard touchdown
of his own to junior Matt Harris.
Senior MatthewTanner
squeezed into the end zone on a
goal-line sneak for another Mid
Valley touchdown to give Mid
Valley a13-6 lead at the end of
the first quarter. Senior Pete
Murazzi came back to put the
Lions ahead with a five-yard
rushing touchdown to open the
second quarter. Murazzi ended
the night with 41of Trails 91
rushing yards, second to senior
Jeremy Greenleys 73 yards, and
the Lions only rushing touch-
down.
Asecond passing touchdown
by Walsh and a two-point con-
version by Tanner put the Spar-
tans ahead again. Greenley
broke off a huge kickoff return
all the way to Mid Valleys10-
yard line, but was just barely
tripped up before he could
score.
Aseries of penalties and ag-
gressive plays by the Spartans
defense pushed the Lions back
to the16-yard line. Lackawanna
Trail missed a field goal attempt
with less than two minutes in the
half.
Mid Valley launched a quick
drive that caught the Lions off-
guard. The Spartans covered
ground fast and ended the half
on another deep Tomasetti
touchdown that gave Mid Valley
a 28-14 lead.
Greenley intercepted a pass
froma hurried Walsh and re-
turned it for a touchdown to
bring the Lions within a score in
the third quarter. Lackawanna
Trail, however, was unable to
find its rhythmon offensive
after the interception. The Li-
ons offense was held scoreless
in the second half and did not
pick up a first down in the fourth
quarter.
Mid Valley would score again
on another quarterback sneak by
Tanner early in the fourth quar-
ter to make the score 34-21. The
Spartans were content to burn
time for much of the remainder
of the game en route to the win.
In the Lions had their lowest
offensive production of the
season, especially in the second
half. Lackawanna Trail head

tered high school. The B team
girls range from10-12 and the
C team from 7-10. Abington
has such a large number of
girls in their cheerleading
program that they split each
age group into two teams
which they label as North and
South, resulting in two A
teams, two B teams and two C
teams.
Each team performed three
cheers for the judges, the Hel-
lo cheer, the Response or
Hometown cheer and the
dance. The Hello cheer is
customarily done at home
games as a greeting to the
away team. Response cheers
are geared to rally hometown
fans and elicit planned re-
sponses from the stands. The
final, most involved and leng-
thy cheer is the dance routine.
It is performed to upbeat mu-

mounts, stunts, fast dance
steps and tumbling passes.
The cheerleaders will con-
tinue to perform at the weekly

CHEERLEADERS
off it was like a stampede run-
ning down a wide fairway.
The Comets finished ninth
and set a precedent for cross
country at Abington Heights.
We competed hard and
right away the Abington
Heights cross country team
was seen as a very successful
team, Edwards said. I believe
a lot of underclassmen were
inspired to join the tradition in
future years.
It didnt take long for the
teamto climb to the top. In the
teams third year of existence,
Abington Heights earned the
state championship. A1965
cross country teammember
Stephen Johnson credited
Kelly with the teams immedi-
ate success.
He brought out the best in
all of us so we never felt we
were starting fromscratch,
Johnson said. We started from
having confidence that we
could compete with anyone
and win and we did.
The Comets were riddled
with injuries throughout the
season but returned to full
strength in time for the state
championship meet. Johnson
finished 21st while two of his
teammates Brian Egan and
TomSlalomplaced fifth and
18th.
We all waited outside a
building across fromthe Penn
State University Golf Course
for the results when a man
walked out the side door and
said, Is the coach fromAbing-
ton Heights here?, Johnson
said. Thats when we knewwe
won the state championship.
Johnson graduated from
Abington Heights in1967. One
of his greatest accomplish-
ments was placing12th in the
BirminghamVulcan Marathon
in1984, but nothing compares
to the Comets accomplish-
ments in1965.
Other than my split times
and the finish line, Ive largely
forgotten that day, Johnson
said. The exhilaration of win-
ning the state championship 47
years ago is still with me.
After coaching at Abington
Heights for three years, Kelly
finished his doctorate at
Springfield College. He then
moved on to St. Cloud State
University where he created
another program.
We started a human per-
formance laboratory where we
did a lot of research and stud-
ies, Kelly said. We did a lot
of quality work on some really
outstanding athletes. It was a
big health program.
Despite spending just three
years as Abington Heights
cross country coach, Kelly will
never forget the athletes who
helped himcreate a successful
cross country program.
I can still picture in my
mind the kids who ran and they
were some really outstanding
kids, Kelly said.

Acouple of things bit us,

a penaltythat movedus back.
We kindof shot ourselves in
the foot all night, but we played
prettywell at the endof the
game. Thats part of having21
newkids out onthe football
field, theymake mistakes.

The play helped set up a 4-yard touchdown run by Pasqualichio.

Cavaliers defeat Trojans
University of
Scranton head
mens basket-
ball coach Carl
Danzig an-
nounced that
seniors Travis
Farrell and
TimLavelle of
Clarks Green and junior Tommy
Morgan will serve as teamcap-
tains for the upcoming season.
Lavelle, a Scranton Preparato-
ry graduate, has been a mainstay
in the Royal backcourt through-
out his career, appearing in 71
games as a key reserve. He tied
his career-high with14 points in
a 92-62 victory over Maritime
College in the opening round of
the Radisson Invitational last
November. He also scored in
double figures on three other
occasions last season.
The Royals will open the
season by hosting Oneonta State
in the first round of the Radis-
son Invitational on Friday, Nov.
16, at 7:30 p.m. in the Long
Center.
Prep graduate named captain
Tim Lavelle
the reason for the offenses
struggles came fromfalling
behind in the second half and
being unable to establish a good
balance between the pass and
run.
By letting it go to a two-score
game, we felt like we had to
throwthe ball a little more in the
second half and we didnt want
to, Jervis said. We wanted to
throwwhen we wanted to, but
when youre down, you have to
throwwhen you dont want to.
Jervis gave credit to Mid
Valley for making big plays
when they need to throughout
the game.
We gotta give credit to them
[Mid Valley], Jervis said.
Their kids made a couple big
plays at crucial times. We had a
couple opportunities to make
some of those plays and we just
didnt make them. Thats part of
the game.
Jervis said he wants the team
to improve on tackling, controll-
ing the line of scrimmage and
the little things over the course
of next week. Jervis said despite
suffering the first loss of the
season, the teamwill only im-
prove fromhere on.
Imvery proud of our kids
effort, Jervis said. This is a
marathon, its not a sprint. Were
gonna get right back at it next
week.
Pazzaglia said, as proud of his
teamas he was for the win, his
focus was on preparing the team
for their next game again Lake-
land.
We gotta get a couple of guys
healthy so hopefully we can
match up with Lakelands size,
Pazzaglia said. Theyre very
very big, very strong. Imjust
worried about matching up with
them.
Mid Valleys record now
stands at 3-2. Lackawanna Trail
falls to 5-1. Lackawanna Trails
next game will take place at
home at 7 p.m. Friday against
Carbondale Area. Mid Valleys
next game will be home at 7
p.m. Friday against Lakeland.

W
hen Clarks Summit
native Jessamyn Re-
inhard, a woman who
has recently experienced sev-
eral health setbacks, needed
help moving into an apart-
ment, the Lackawanna Col-
lege football team jumped at
the opportunity.
Jody Cordaro and SCE
Environmental Company also
donated two trucks and drivers
to assist in the effort.
Reinhard lost her leg several
months ago due to multiple
health problems, and now is
having complications includ-
ing problems with her other
leg, along with recently being
diagnosed with diabetes. As a
result, she had to move out of
a cottage in which she was
living, put her furniture and
belongings in storage in a
PODS unit, and move in with
her mother. She recently
found a ground level apart-
ment that satisfied her needs
and was ready to move in, but
on that day the PODS unit
could not complete its deliv-
ery because of low hanging
wires in the neighborhood.
She had to put the unit back
into storage and start saving to
hire movers.
Thom Welby, a family
friend, called Lackawanna
College head football coach to
see if some of his players
would be willing to help with
the move.
The answer: a resounding
yes.
All 52 players on the team
volunteered, although Duda
was only able to bring about
20.
According to Welby, the
players were an enormous
help with the entire process of
the move.
They had the 14 foot
PODS storage container emp-
tied and loaded onto trucks in
about 20 minutes in Laflin,
he said. In Dunmore, they
had an assembly line moving
things into the apartment.
One of the guys picked up
a dryer and carried it by him-
self. It was a sight to see.
According to Reinhards
mom, Christine Johnson, the
players had four rooms of
furniture moved into the
apartment in under 30 min-
utes.
The apartment in Dunmore
is located at street level, mak-
ing it easier for Reinhard to
roll in and out in her wheel-
chair.
Shes so excited to have her
own place again, Welby said.
Johnson was grateful for the

It was unbelievable, Rein-

still wouldnt be moved in.
They were so generous and so
nice. I really cant put it into
words. All I can say is it was a
blessing and something that
wont be forgotten.

Its already October, the leaves are
falling and frost will be with us soon.
But if this reality saddens you, theres
another side to the story. Look around.
The trees are resplendent with gold,
reds and burgundys, the air is crisp and
a walk is again invigorating. And how
great to hear the crunch of the fallen
leaves as one walks along a wooded
path. WilliamCullen Bryant defined
this season so well: Autumn, the years
last loveliest smile.
And I guarantee you, if you walk into
our library, youll bring Autumns smile
with you as you observe - or even par-
ticipate in the wide variety of activ-
ities in every corner of the building.
The library is sure to be full of excit-
ed shoppers on Saturday, Oct. 20 from
9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for our seasonal book
and bake sale. Patrons always find that
the books are easy to peruse as they are
all set up by categories. In addition to
fiction, non fiction, and mystery, there
are plenty of great childrens books for
you to add to your own book shelves.
And the bake sale always features some
great delicacies all ready for an imme-
diate nibble or to save for nice addition
to your dinner table. Dont miss this
great sale.
Of course, there are other exciting
programs that continue on a monthly
basis. Pre-schoolers are treated to a
story hour every Tuesday at 1p.m. Janet
Geeza makes sure to incorporate sing-
ing and finger play into these story
sessions. And these preschoolers are in
for a big treat come Friday, Oct.12 at 11
a.m. The FlowCircus is coming to our
library. Its a fantastic juggling perform-
ance which features acts that involve
skill and daring. This event is sponsored
by PNCBank and the Lackawanna
County Library Systemin order to
encourage financial literacy in children.
For those who attend, there will be lots
of great items to take home. Parents,
make sure your children get a chance to
experience this wonderful program!!
Kreative Kids, which was begun last
year under the guidance of Janet Geeza
and Celeste Cali, features a brand new
option for 3-6th graders. On the fourth
Monday of each month at 4 p.m., its
Lego Building. The first meeting oc-
curred on Sept. 24 and12 young people
held a knitting needle, Andrea can get
you started.
We havent forgotten our devoted
bridge players (Tuesdays at 10:15 a.m.)
and Mah Jong enthusiasts (Mondays at
10:15 a.m.). Your games continue as
scheduled and , of course, newcomers
are always welcome.
Octobers book selection for our
Saturday Special is the classic Chicano
novel, Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo
Anaya . The discussion, facilitated by
Jeremy White, a member of the Scran-
ton Reads Committee, will be held on
Saturday, Oct. 27 at 10:30 a.m. Ultima,
a curandera, plays a central role in this
novel and helps her grandson to discern
his own way through complex moral
issues. She is a model of tolerance and
understanding, an invaluable aid to this
child as he matures.
October has lots to offer the young
and the not so old at our library.
If you or your children (grandchil-
dren, too) have never tried any of our
programs, why not try one out? And
dont forget to get to our book/bake sale
on Oct. 20. The price of the books is
right and there are titles that we guaran-
tee will appeal to all age groups. See
you on the 20th.
had nothing but rave reviews for the
experience and the chance to be cre-
ative with hundreds of LEGOpieces.
The LEGOs were donated by The
Friends of the Library and other gener-
ous souls. If youd like to donate some
LEGOs to the group, just let Janet Gee-
za know(563.2014). The more LEGOs
available, the more options these kids
will have as they stretch their imag-
inations and depend on their own cre-
ativity. And dont forget, the traditional
Kreative Kids programs for 3-6th grad-
ers continue on all other Mondays (4
p.m.) during each month of the school
year.
Next, we have some additions to the
adult programs. Every Thursday at
10:15 a.m. Andrea Jones will teach
Western/American Mah Jong. It is
different fromChinese Mah Jong (
which will still be played every Monday
at 10:15 a.m.) in that racks are used to
hold players tiles and some cards. In
addition, the Western/American version
features some distinctive plays which
set it apart fromthe Chinese game.
And then, on the second Thursday of
the month, Oct.1, at 1p.m., Andrea
Jones will begin a knitting group. Knit-
ters with or without skills can join the
group and Andrea will mentor you as
you learn howto knit and pearl- or as
you work with very complicated pat-
terns. All are welcome!!
Dont be shy. Even if youve never

SOUTHABINGTONTWP.- Kevin
Young, Assistant Volunteer Coordinator for
the Griffin Pond Animal Shelter and presi-
dent of the Griffin Pond Animal Shelter
Volunteer Association, reported that he and
volunteers have collected supply donations
in excess of $25,000 retail value to aid the
shelter as part of its fall Pet Supply Drive.
The drive is currently in its ninth year, and
Sept. 30 volunteers delivered the supplies
collected from28 barrels at 22 locations in
Lackawanna County, with dropoff points at
area employers and schools. Since we only
did about half the amount of locations, we
are going to do it again with the schools and
some businesses that wish to do in Febru-
ary, said Young.
Some of the items donated include1,380
pounds of cat litter, 914 pounds of dry dog
food, 93 pounds of puppy food, several
hundred pounds of dog treats and rawhides,
568 cans of dog food, 1,004 pounds of dry
cat food, 24 leashes, 46 collars, dog sham-
poo and cleaning supplies such as dish-
washing liquid, laundry detergent, paper
towels and office supplies. Young and vol-
unteers sort and inventory the supplies and
deliver themto the shelter located at 967
Griffin Pond Road in the Ivy Industrial
Park, Exit 197 off I-81in Clarks Summit.
The shelter goes through1,000 pounds
of cat litter per week. Thats over 50,000
pounds of litter per year the shelter needs,
said Young. In my mind, this is a very
successful drive.
Among the local employers that aided in
the drives success are Sandvik Steel, Na-
tional Book Company, HarperCollins Pub-
lishers and Cinram, said Young.
Among the fundraisers organized by the
shelters volunteer association are the Hallo-
ween parade and the Pet Walk. Some of the
hands- on projects the association has
spearheaded for the shelter include fencing
two 60 foot by 30 foot runs with a price tag
of $8,000. It took us three years to raise
that (money), said Young.
In the last two years, the group has spread
240 tons of gravel on a pathway. ...This is
what we do. We do the things the shelter
cant afford to pay somebody to dothat
they cannot afford to have done. We raise
our own money
According to Young, Griffin Pond Ani-
mal Shelter receives no money fromthe
federal government, state, county or city.
Everything is done by donations of the
community. This is what this drive does. Its
the awareness
Donations of pet food and supplies are
accepted yearround. For information re-
garding donations and pet adoptions, call
