WILKES-BARRE, PA.
Bob McGuire, den master of
Cub Scout Pack 241, Lehman,
was never more surprised the
day he received a phone call
completely out of the blue
from a former den master,
whom he had never met.
Tom Hillman, of Dallas, told
McGuire he had been looking at
the newspaper and saw a picture
of a Scout troop. The image
fondly reminded Hillman of his
three years as the Scoutmaster
of Pack 241 and of the summer
camping trips he and his son Bill
(now a senior at Lake-Lehman
High School) enjoyed together
at Camp Acahela in Blakeslee.
Hillman came from a Scouting
family - his father and grandfa-
ther were both Eagle Scouts. He
thinks that everything about the
Scouting process prepares and
leads the boys to camping.
While many of the programs and
activities can be done indoors,
getting the Scouts outside and
sleeping in a tent should be the
end result. Just to go away and
work together as a group are
other good things about camp-
ing, Hillman says.
McGuire told Hillman that,
sadly, only 11 Scouts from Pack
241 had participated in summer
camp the previous year.
McGuire and Hillman felt that
the $250 camp fee might make
the cost of summer camp an ex-
pensive option for an average
family. Because Hillman does
not want any Scout to not be
able to go to camp for lack of
funds, he was willing to pay 50
percent of the cost of summer

Boy Scouts Damian Napierkowski, left, and his brother, Blaise, of Cub Scout Pack 241, Lehman, raise their hands because they have
spent summer camping time at Camp Acahela, thanks to the generosity of Tom Hillman, a former pack leader who has contributed to
the summer Scout camping experience. Hillman was presented a plaque by the Scout group in recognition of his contribution.
Dallas man wants to make sure Boy Scouts get chance to
make memories like he did when he was younger.

Accidental butt dials and
occasional glitches in the tele-
phone systemcontributed to an
increase in 911 calls, said Leh-
man Township Police Chief Ho-
ward Kocher during the board
of supervisors meeting on Jan.
7.

sonnel must respond to each
call, even if it is a hang-up, add-

Student athletes at Lake-Leh-
man Junior/Senior High School
have a newway to connect off the
court and on a different level.
The Fellowship of Christian
Athletes group meets twice a
month at the high school to dis-
cuss Lake-Lehman sports, social-
ize with friends and study topics
form the Bible that students get
to choose.
Speakers are also brought into
the meetings to discuss relevant
topics of the students choosing,
from dating to how to be a better
Christian.
The group got its start this
year by former high school social
studies teacher Chip Sorber and
current physical education teach-
er Mike Leskowsky.
My first experience of Chris-
tianity was in college, said Sor-
ber. I didnt go to church when I
was younger, and I had a curios-
ity about it. I got involved in a
Fellowship of Christian Athletes
group. I didnt take to Christian-
ity right away and Im still work-
ing on it.
Sorber started a smaller, less
official group with the same
premise when he coached base-
ball at Lake-Lehman.
It was a small group, about
five to nine kids, he said. This
year I thought Id open it up to
the whole school. The adminis-
tration was really supportive of
it.
Leskowsky, whose family
members are active in the group,
wanted to be part of the fellow-
ship group to help students deal
with a changing society.
I think were going to try to
reverse the trend, the (negative)
direction society is going, he
said. This gives an opportunity
to be more open to faith and it
gives me something to talk about
with the kids.
Sorber believes the legal re-
moval of Christianity within
schools had led to negative con-
sequences, including the inabili-
ty of the U.S. government to pay
its debt to other countries.
We were a Christian nation at
the start, he said. People
need to be exposed to (Christian-
ity). This gives the kids anoppor-
tunity.
The students also chose a ser-
vice project for the holiday sea-
son. They collected canned
goods and nonperishable food
for the Pastors Pantry in Noxen.
The Pastors Pantry is only
open three hours a week but
manages to serve between 25
and 65 families a month. Pantry
organizer Pearl Race said the
pantry depends on food drives
promoted by local service
groups.
We think about Christian val-
ues and this time of year you
want to help the poor and the
needy, said Sorber. Were also
going to do a project around
Easter.
Curtis Swanson, who owns
Curtis L. Swanson Funeral Home
in Hunlock Creek, is a financial
supporter of the group and pro-
vides pizza and soda for the stu-
dents.
I believe in Christian values
and I think kids need them, said
Swanson. I think they are really
lacking those values. People
dont go to church to learn the Bi-
ble anymore.

OATH OF OFFICE
ADMINISTERED
It is the love of a challenge
that has drawn Misericordia se-
nior Danielle Monelli Yurko
06,13, of Sweet Valley, toward a
career in biochemistry research.
The 30-year-old, who is ex-
pecting twins in July, is also just
months away from finishing her
second undergraduate degree at
Misericordia. Her perseverance
and dedication to her new field
have already brought her hon-
ors.
Yurko is the first Misericordia
student to present at an annual
meeting of the American Socie-
ty for Cell Biology (ASCB), the
largest gathering of experts in
that particular field of science.
The 52nd annual ASCB meeting
was held in San Francisco, Cal-
if., in December and drew more
than 6,000 participants, includ-
ing esteemed researchers from
around the world.
Accompanied to San Francis-
co by her research mentor Ange-
la Asirvatham, Ph.D., associate
professor of biology, Yurko was
one of 300 scientists to present
at the undergraduate session
and one of 3,000 presenters at
the graduate, postdoctoral and
faculty level. Dr. Asirvatham al-
so presented at the event, as she
has for the past seven years.
The research the pair is doing
is ultimately dedicated to find-
ing a faster way to repair nerve
cells damaged by spinal cord in-
jury and multiple sclerosis.
Yurko admits her career path
has been much like a science ex-
periment, full of stops and starts
and changed directions. She
earned her first undergraduate
degree in communications at
Misericordia in 2006 as a non-
traditional student, taking class-
es at night and on weekends
while working full time.
An interest in medicine and
health care and in particular
the new physician assistant pro-
gram drew her back to campus
in 2009. Yet, it was in her first
organic chemistry class where
she found a passion for lab ex-
perimentation.
Her interest in medical re-
search led her to Dr. Asirvath-
am, whose doctoral research in-
volved autoimmune disease.
The two have been working on a
particular portion of Schwann
cell research since January 2012.
Yurko hopes to earn a Ph.D. in
biochemistry and molecular ge-
netics and plans a career in bio-
medical research specializing in
autoimmune and multi-drug re-
sistant diseases.
Sweet Valley woman loves challenge
Dr. Angela Asirvatham, left, and student researcher Danielle Yurko, of Sweet Valley, retrieve frozen
Schwann cells from a liquid nitrogen storage container for use in their biomedical research on nerve
regeneration.
Danielle Yurko, who is
expecting twins, just months
away from second degree.
Walking Into The Light At
Gettysburg, a newdocumentary
produced by Dr. Anthony J. Mus-
sari, of Dallas, offers more than
just a remarkable history lesson
on what remains the most in-
tense military battle on Ameri-
can soil. It also offers a lesson in
self-discovery.
The film is part of Mussaris
ongoing Face of America pro-
ject, which he has developed
with his wife, Kitch.
For Walking Into The Light
At Gettysburg, the two bring 10
students from the North Plain-
field High School in New Jersey
to the Gettysburg National Mil-
itary Park. And not only does the
group find the visit to be educa-
tional and enlightening, but in
some ways, life-altering.
And why wouldnt it be?
Standing on the grounds and
amid the monuments where
there were more than 51,000 ca-
sualties and where more than
7,000 fell to their death, the stu-
dents and those who view the
film are provided with not only
staggering statistics on the battle
of Gettysburg, but also poignant
human stories that made the bat-
tle even more heart wrenching.
The group also receives visits,
courtesy of gifted actors, from
General Robert E. Lee and Abra-
ham Lincoln, who offer thought-
ful perspective on the Civil War.
Throughout the documentary,
Mussari - who was recently invit-
ed to showthe filmat the Gettys-
burg National Military Park -
continuously paints the perfect
backdrop to the tour. Quotes
from Lincoln and Lee frequently
appear on the screen, as do time-
piece photographs, paintings and
video re-enactments. There is al-
so appropriate music and, most
importantly, appropriate senti-
ment.
When the students offer
thoughts on their time at Gettys-
burg during the films final mo-
ments, important lessons are re-
vealed. And as one young teen re-
cites a poem she had written in-
spired by her visit, there are also
a few tears.
Perhaps that is the greatest tri-
umph of Walking Into The Light
At Gettysburg. It teaches. It in-
spires. It captures the emotions
one might feel while standing at
one of Americas most hallowed
grounds exactly 150 years after it
became such a landmark.
For schools unable to take
such a memorable field trip, the
filmin many ways, can take them
there.
Dr. Anthony Mussari, far left, and his wife Kitch, far right, are shown with the students who appear in their new documentary, Walking
Into The Light at Gettysburg.

ONLY
YESTERDAY
By Samantha Weaver
It was American humorist and columnist Josh Billings who made
the following sage observation: Reason often makes mistakes, but
conscience never does.
You think there are a lot of lawsuits being heard in the courts
these days? Statistics show that half of the suits filed never even
make it to court.
In France in the 1700s, capital punishment was not uncommon,
and criminals thus condemned were decapitated by the countrys
Chief Executioner. This position was hereditary, which posed a prob-
lem when, in 1726, the holder of that title, Charles-Jean-Baptiste
Sanson, suffered an early death, leaving his 7-year-old son, Charles,
to take up the grisly duties. It was obvious to all that a child could
never wield the heavy axe required for the decapitations, so it was
deemed acceptable for a helper to actually perform the executions.
Only the official office-holder could put the official seal on the act,
however, so the poor boy had to witness every one. It wasnt until the
ripe old age of 12 that he began to take over the full duties of the
office.
When famed inventor Alexander Graham Bell died in 1922, he
was dictating a memo. His final words were, So little done, so much
to do!
If youre a fan of big brass, you might want to head to Millersville,
Pa., in May. Every year during that month, the town celebrates In-
ternational Tuba Day, with some 50 tuba players on hand to sere-
nade the crowd.
Theres been much public conversation about the growing girth
of Americans in recent decades. Its not just people who are gaining
weight, though; between 1996 and 2006, the average motor vehicle
made in the U.S. gained 500 pounds.

Connor Martinez is challenged
each day he goes to Dallas wres-
tling practice.
When he is not going head-to-
head against Kris Roccograndi, a
three-year starter with the best
record on the Mountaineers,
Martinez works out with the
teams bigger wrestlers.
The competition against big-
ger wrestlers keeps Martinez pre-
pared because he generally wres-
tles at 182 pounds with Rocco-
grandi situated in the 170-pound
class.
Connor wrestles up a weight
class or two from his actual
weight to help the team, Moun-
taineers coach Mike Richards
said. Hes a trooper. Hell do any-
thing he can to help the team.
Hes a tough kid. Hell go out
and wrestle at 182, even though
hes at 165 or 166.
Martinez does more than just
occupy that higher weight class.
He has won more than two-thirds
of his bouts, including all at last
weeks Wyoming Valley Confer-
ence Wrestling Tournament
where he shut out Lake-Leh-
mans Brady Butler, 8-0, in the fi-
nal for the title.
Martinez joined Roccograndi
and defending district and re-
gional champion Dominic De-
Graba, who each pulled out two-
point decisions, to give Dallas its
first three champions in the four-
year history of the event. Logan
Brace (160) and Ryan Monk
(285) also made the final to help
the Mountaineers place fourth
out of 14 teams.
Butler was one of two Lake-
Lehman finalists. Unbeaten Aus-
tin Harry won the title at 132
pounds to help the Black Knights
place fifth in the team standings.
The tournament title was the
first by Martinez as a high school
wrestler.
Martinez tries to see the ad-
vantages he has while going
against bigger opponents, con-
centrating on using his edge in
quickness rather than dwelling
on the difference in weight.
I think that the way I wrestle I
do better against heavier kids,
he said. My hearts in it. Im not
going to give up until the end.
Richards and Martinez were
confident in his chances to reach
the final, based on his second
seed.
Once in the final, Martinez put
together an impressive perform-
ance for a major decision.
I knew that was going to be
my toughest match, said Marti-
nez, who reached the Northeast
Regional last year as a sopho-
more by finishing third in the
District 2 Class AA Tournament.
I was just going to wrestle the
same as any other match. I tried
to stick to my game plan.
By joining DeGraba and Roc-
cograndi at the top of the podi-
um, Martinez helped Dallas
match Wyoming Valley West as
the only schools with three
champions in the tournament,
which was conducted Jan. 4-5 at
Lake-Lehman.

camp for the Scouts, reserving
the other 50 percent for the
family to pay as a commitment
on the part of their Scout to
attend the camp.
The project became compli-
cated when Hillman realized
there were at least four levels
of participation at Camp Aca-
hela, a Boy Scout camp in Bla-
keslee, including a Parent and
Pal weekend and a day camp
for mothers attending the
camp. Hillman was completely
invested in the idea by that
time and was still willing to
assist entire families to enjoy
the camping experience.
Last April, Hillman stood be-
fore the Scouts and parents of
Pack 241 and said, You dont
know me. As a parent, I still
look back happily at Scouting
and I want to make sure you
and your kids go to summer
camp.
This year, Cub Scout Pack
241 sent about 40 of its Scouts
and their parents to summer
camp at Acehela.
Blaise Napierkowski, his
brother, Damian, and their
mother, Christine, from Jack-
son Twp., enjoyed the experi-
ence.
Swimming in the cool pool,
campfires and the water rock-
ets, Blaise said, recalling high-
lights of a 3-day trip to the
camp with his Mom and broth-
er. Next year would be the year
for an all-week trip to the camp
for him, he said.
The pack awarded Hillman
an appreciation plaque for his
generosity.
At its November pack meeting, Cub Scout Pack 241, Lehman, presented Tom Hillman of Hillman Security and Fire Technologies with
a recognition plaque and a thank you card signed by all the Scouts. The Scouts are shown here with Hillman, back left, and Bob
McGuire, Cubmaster, back right.

Sweet Valley, has always beenin-
volved in her churchs youth
group and enjoys being able to
discuss her beliefs with her
school peers.
I think this is something
thats right, said the track and
soccer player. You dont see this
in schools. I like the atmosphere
and talking to the same people
week to week.
Mahoney likes to reflect on
how her faith carries her
through different situations.
You think you have a lot of
troubles and bad situations, but
if you put God into it, you know
it will get better, she said. It
comes out good in the end.
Mahoney said now she can
connect with students her own
age on the topics she finds most
important.
If people ask me about (my
faith), Ill tell them, but a lot of
people arent involved, she said.
But Im not afraid to talk about
it.
Rachel Leskowsky, 14, of Leh-
man, said her father initially got
her involved in the group, but
she enjoys socializing and talk-
ing about Christian topics with
her friends.
(Christianity) is about hav-
ing a better life, she said. I like
the idea of eternal life.
Zach Brucher, 15, of Sweet
Valley, likes being with people
his own age while learning more
about God.
It makes me feel good that I
can be forgiven for my sins, he
said about his faith. (In this
group) I get to hang out with
friends andlearnabout God. You
know (about Christianity) as
much as the person next to you,
he said.
