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

Lackawanna County will
meet its goal, Jones said there
are some items the program is
still in need of, specifically
gifts for older children.
At this particular point in
time, were looking for gifts
for the older kids, ages 9 to
14, said Jones.
A lot of people think the
name speaks for itself, Toys
for Tots, and people forget
about the older kids.
And, while Lackawanna
County has been fortunate in
being able to achieve its goals
this year, other areas are not
so lucky. Jones mentioned
Wyoming County which, after
being devastated by floods in
September, has seen a dip in
contributions this year.
He added that while Dec.
20 is the official deadline to
make a donation, the founda-
tion will accept gifts after that
date.
In addition to gifts, there
are also opportunities for
those interested to donate
their time, helping to sort out
and collect gifts.
Anyone interested in volun-
teering, locating one of the
100 drop-offs in the area, or
seeking more information can
visit http://www.toysfor-
tots.org/.
As in years past, the United
States Marine Corps is giving
everyone a chance to play
Santa this holiday season.
From now until December
20, the Marine Corps Toys for
Tots Foundation will collect
new, unwrapped toys and
distribute them as Christmas
gifts to needy children in the
community.
Last year, Toys for Tots
Coordinator Gunnery Sgt.
Dennis Jones said the pro-
gram provided gifts for 8,000
children in Lackawanna
County and is expecting more
this year, possibly an addi-
tional thousand people.
Thankfully, he said the ge-
nerosity from those in the
area is going to make provid-
ing gifts for everyone pos-
sible.
It surprises us every year,
Jones said of the areas gene-
rosity.
Even with the bad econo-
my, and people losing their
homes, they still come out
and give every year. This is
my first year as coordinator,
but Ive been around the pro-
gram and its always a nice
surprise.

Local high school students
are once again given the op-
portunity to participate in the
annual Northeast Pennsylva-
nia Regional Bridge Building
Competition on February 11
at the Viewmont Mall in
Dickson City. Organized and
directed by retired Abington
Heights High School physics
teacher, Donald Kieffer, of
Clarks Summit, the competi-
tion is open to students in
grades nine through 12
throughout NEPA.
Kieffer sends around 150
invitations annually to
schools in the region and the
competition normally attracts
between 40 and 50 participa-
nts. Each school is invited to
send three students to the
competition. Kieffer said the
contestants receive t-shirts
with the names of the spon-
sors, certificates and program
books. Each winner is award-
ed a plaque as well as a tro-
phy for his or her school. The
first and second-place win-
ners are eligible to compete at
the International Competi-
tion, which will be held this
year in Las Vegas, Nevada.
There are no entry fees for
the students and their only
expenses, Kieffer said, are the
cost of glue used to make the
bridges and transportation to
the competition.
The objective, according to
a press release from the orga-
nization, is to provide an

With the spin of a drei-
del, one can witness four
Hebrew letters, one print-
ed or engraved on each of
the four sides of the spin-
ning top. When the words
are placed together to
form a sentence, they
reflect and convey the true
meaning of Chanukah:
Nes gadol hayah sham,
which, translated to En-
glish, means, A great
miracle happened there,
(in Israel) referencing the
Chanukah miracle.
In Israel, the Hebrew
letters were changed to
Nes Gadol Haya Po, or
A great miracle happened
here."
The word dreidel is
Yiddish for a spinning top.

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

self in barracks
parking lot,
state police say
Scoutmaster Gary Katz has
led Clarks Summit Troop 160
for the past five years. The
Scouts who spent countless
hours working toward their
Eagle badge under his guid-
ance have joined elite compa-
ny.
I think the perseverance
part of it is most important,
Katz said. Its not an easy
process; its a long road. In the
history of Scouting in Amer-
ica since 1910, there have been
two million Eagle Scouts out
of about a billion boys who
have been Scouts.
If you dont want it, youre
not going to get it, said Katz.
Its easier to quit.
Boys join Scouts at about 11
years of age and go through a
number of ranks, starting with
the fundamental ranks of Ten-
derfoot, Second Class and
First Class. The next two
ranks of Star and Life take
more dedication to achieve.
Star and Life are where the
scouts really start learning
their leadership skills, Katz
said.
Star is awarded when the
Scout serves actively in the
troop in a position of respon-
sibility for at least four
months, performs at least six
hours of community service
and earns six merit badges.
Life is awarded when the
Scout serves actively in the
troop, serves in a position of
responsibility for six months,
performs six hours of commu-
nity service and earns an addi-
tional five merit badges to
make a minimum total of 11.
Once they hit Life is really
where the rubber hits the
road, Katz said.
According to Katz, Scouts
then need to find a service
project in the community.
Once they get approval for
their project, they get the
Scoutmasters approval, as
long as everything meets the
criteria. At that point, the boys
start their project paperwork
which takes one to three
months. Once the project is
approved by the Scoutmaster,
its sent to the Council office.
After the project is ap-
proved by the Council, the
Scout can start. Once the pro-
ject is finished, the Scouts
must complete paperwork to
bring it full circle. During the
process, the Scouts needs to
earn a minimum of 21 merit
badges, 12 of which are re-
quired (camping, citizenship
in the community, citizenship
in the nation, citizenship in
the world, communications,
environmental science, family
life, first aid, personal fitness,
personal management, emer-
gency preparedness or life-
saving, cycling or hiking or
swimming.) Scouts can
choose from over 100 elective
merit badges for the others.
The average Scout usually
winds up with around 26 or
27 badges before they go to
Eagle, some have much more,
some just have 21, Katz said.
It depends on how ambitious
they are.
Once all the paperwork and
merit badges are done, Scouts
can fill out the application to
become an Eagle Scout. After
that, they have a Scoutmaster
conference.
This is where we really
talk about what an Eagle
Scout is and how they should
conduct themselves for the
rest of their life, Katz said.
Once the paperwork is turn-
ed into the Council office, the
Scout meets with three to four
people from the community
and sits in front of a chair-
person for about 45 minutes
where he must answer ques-
tions. If the review is favor-
able, the Scout will be award-
ed the Eagle badge.
Scouts have to be awarded
the badge because it cant be
earned, Katz said. The aver-
age Scout usually makes Ea-
gle between 16 and 17 years
old. Some take a little longer
and some can do it a little
quicker. The youngest scout
Ive had was 13, but weve had
others that have been over 18.
Scouts can continue in
Scouting after getting their
Eagle by earning bronze, gold
and silver Eagle Palms. They
can earn multiples of each by
being active in the troop or
active in Scouting and by
continuing to earn merit badg-
es. After earning the Eagle
award, Scouts need five more
merit badges to earn bronze,
five more for gold and five
more for silver.
Troop 160 has averaged
about seven Eagle Scouts a
year for the last five years,
according to Katz, who said
only about 3 percent of Scouts
earn their Eagle badge and
thinks the service project is
the hardest part of the process.
I think thats the hardest
thing for them to understand,
he said. The project is labor
intensive, it drives them crazy.
Doing the project is the result,
but leading the project is the
lesson. You have to learn how
to do the project, and then you
have to execute it.
Tyler VanGorder, a Life
Scout, is currently going
though the Eagle Scout proc-
ess. He joined Cub Scouts in
first grade and crossed over to
Boy Scouts in fourth or fifth
grade.
VanGorders favorite aspect
of Scouts is the camping trips
where he can bond with mem-
bers of the troop.
Thats the best part, he
said. They are just a lot fun.
Youre with your friends and
you learn some Scout skills. I
think most Scouts will say
that summer camp is their
favorite because its a seven-
day camping trip.
The Scouts have enabled the
Abington Heights sophomore
to become more outgoing and
confident.
I consider myself a rela-
tively shy person, but being in
Scouts, Ive been able to take
a leadership role and instruct
others, he said.
VanGorder has earned 41
merit badges, but is most
proud of the 12 he had to ac-
quire for his Eagle Scout re-
quirements.
For his project, VanGorder
painted tables, repaired and
pained benches, and built and
painted garbage containers at
Comet Park.
Its a long process with all
of the merit badges, camping
trips and all of their require-
ments, but its a very fun one,
he said.
Troop Commander Joe
Gronsky, who earned his Ea-
gle badge in 1970, gives a
message to Scouts who earn
their Eagle badge.
I tell them as much as they
appreciate their accomplish-
ment now, the older they get
the more they will appreciate
it, he said. Scouting is fun
when you are young, but
when you look back as an
adult, you realize it prepared
you for life.
Road to Eagle
Scout arduous,
but rewarding

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

events for children, includ-
ing monthly story times,
presented by a special sub-
group of ACL-TLC called
Story Time Teens, a Hello
Kitty tea, a Pokemon party,
pirate days, spelling bee and
so much more.
According to Taylor Ross,
fourth-sixth grade program
coordinator, the TLC helps
with all library-related pro-
grams, such as the Amer-
ican Girl Holiday. Its a
great opportunity and the
library is a great resource in
the community. The TLC is
looking to help with that by
promoting the library, Ross
said. She also added that
shes most proud of the Bat-
tle of the Books Competi-
tion for fourth and sixth
The Abington Community
Library Teen Leadership
Committee (TLC) was
formed in June 2002 to give
voice to the young adult
patrons of the library cur-
rently in grades 7-12. After
almost a decade, the com-
mittee continues to thrive.
The committee is for those
seeking leadership devel-
opment and volunteer op-
portunities. Its goals are to
assist with library-sponsored
programs and events, to
connect the library to local
schools and organizations,
to help the Friends of the
Abington Community Li-
brary with fundraising
events, to help with collec-
tion development in the
young adult area and to pro-
vide volunteer leadership
opportunities for young
adult patrons.
Abington Community
Librarys Young Adult Li-
brarian and TLC advisor
Sandy Longo said, Abing-
ton Community Librarys
Teen Leadership Committee
financially supports all of
our special programming.
For example, Story Time
Teens hosts a monthly story
time for children, creative
writing for grades four to
six, Yu-Gi-Oh! Dull and
much more, with fundrais-
ing efforts throughout the
year by hosting bakes sales,
a recycle reuse sale in April
and an ongoing Gertrude
Hawk candy bar sale. In
the past, the TLC has hosted
graders because she helped
with discussions and helped
students prepare.
The committee recently
put together the Tween Ad-
visory Board for grades four
and six.
Its an advisory board for
children that are in between
childrens services and teen
services, too old for kid
stuff and too young for
teen stuff. Its facilitated by
members of the TLC; theyll
help develop new services
just for them, Longo said.
A special Camp Half-Blood
program for grades second
through sixth and a monthly
LEGO Club for grades first
through sixth are both com-
ing up in 2012.
The TLC has three events
for children scheduled at the
Abington Community Li-
brary- American Girl Holi-
day on Sunday, Dec. 18, 6
p.m., snow date is Sunday,
Jan. 22, 6 p.m.; Story Time

and member with the recent
passing of Bill Christian,
beloved Bulletin editor for
the club. Bill will always be
remembered for his service

and director of many musical
parodies for the club and
district. Bill was also a past
president. He will be greatly
missed.
Did you know???
In the 1950s, Jonas Salk
made a discovery that revolu-
tionized the treatment of
polio. His vaccine, composed
of killed polio virus, was
given by injection and first
used in a successful trial in
1952. When the vaccine was
pronounced safe and effec-
tive, vaccinations were given
and dropped the number of
polio cases in the U.S. from
more than 45,000 to less than
1,000. What further amazes
me is the fact that he never
patented his discovery. He
never made any money from
it, preferring it to be widely
distributed instead. He is
quoted as having said, Who
owns my polio vaccine? The
people. Could you patent the
sun? Let us recall Salks
generosity of spirit this
Christmas in our giving.
Consider a gift to Rotary to
help eradicate polio world-
wide forever.

upcoming competitions. I
also attended a concert in
Wilkes-Barre. It was fun. I
was very inspired after
watching the people of my
age play so well. Also, I got
my report card which
brought a big smile to my
face. One thing I would love
to mention is that I got an
opportunity to see the Presi-
dent of the United States of
America, Barack Obama. I
felt like the luckiest exchange
student for having received
this rare and extraordinary
opportunity.
His inspiring speech left
me and everybody else in the
hall thunderstruck and in
deep thought. Almost an hour
passed in a blink of the eye. It
was a once in a lifetime
opportunity, which I was so
glad to have grabbed. In the
first weekend of December, I
will go to Wellsboro to cele-
brate the Dickens of Christ-
mas. I will also meet the oth-
er exchange students in the
District again and am really
excited for this trip.

Gabby Shefski writes: I had
a busy weekend. Recently I
took the train to another
American exchange students
house. She invited me over to
eat a great Thanksgiving
dinner that she had prepared
all by herself, to show her
host family our traditional
American Thanksgiving
meal. Trs delicieux. That
Sunday, the Rotary here host-
ed an exotic dinner - all the
exchange students in the
country got into groups and
cooked dishes from their
home countries to share with
the other students, the host
families and Rotary mem-
bers. Bon appetite.
Noni Murithi writes: Its
that time of the month again
where I pack up my bags and
move on to the next host fam-
ily. Its Christmas season,
which is a big deal in the
Philippines. This means car-
oling with a pan and utensils
for the equivalent of less than
one penny and also eating
local delicacies like their ever
tasty isaw, better known as
chicken intestines and balut
which is their duck fetus. I
think Im most excited for the
food because it truly is a
unique dish.
Happy holidays and warm
thoughts to you. Ingat po.

general, sewer and capital
reserves and best service
budgets by a unanimous vote
with the stipulation that the
budget be reopened by the
new council. The 2012 bud-
get can be amended until
Feb. 15.
Council also unanimously
adopted Ordinance 2011-7 for
the 2012 tax millage. The
borough has a three-year
contact with J.P. Mascaro for
its trash collection that ex-
pires on Feb. 28, with an
option for two additional
years with pre-determinated
rates. Sam Augustine, sales
director of J.P. Mascaro,
agreed to lock in the current
rate for the next two years.
The contract will save the
borough about $21,000 in
2012 and $43,000 in 2013,
according to Augustine. That
agreement also allowed coun-
cil to save a half mill, going
from 30 mils to 29.5.
Council voted unanimously
to approve the 2012 sewer
rates with an increase from
$40.60 to $43 a month.
PNC Bank would not
agree to refinance the bor-
oughs 10-year Debt Service
Loan, but Landmark Bank is
willing to commit to a rate
of 1.99 percent with no clos-
ing costs. According to Ke-
hoe, any rate under 2 percent
would save the borough
money.
Council voted unanimously
to approve Ordinance 2011-9
for the debt service loan with
the condition that bids are
placed to try to get a better
rate.
After a short executive
session and roll- all, council
voted 4-2 to place a bid for
its police department to han-
dle the Clarks Green police
coverage.
Kehoe suggested to council
that part of the CDBG mon-
ey go toward funding the
Abington Area Community
Classrooms Caf in the
downstairs of the borough
building.
A handicap accessible
front door would benefit the
borough building and save
them money, she said.
Council voted to adopt
Resolution 2011-18, raising
the fee for pave cuts in the
borough from $100 to $200.
Kehoe said that the boroughs
code enforcement officer
Lori Harris would oversee all
pave cuts and fines would be
levied on individuals who
dont request a permit for the
cuts.
Council voted to recess
until Dec. 14 at 5:30 p.m.
and voted to cancel the
scheduled work session on
Dec. 27.

The month of November
was a very successful one
for Troop 160. We held our
annual fundraiser this
month. Troop 160s French
Toast Breakfast was held on
November 12. It offered a
breakfast buffet that includ-
ed French toast, ham, bacon
and eggs. It had a great out-
come and we appreciate
everyone who came to sup-
port us. Also, Troop 160
would like to thank all of
those who sponsored the
event.
Great Expectations was
also held on November 12.
This is a leadership course
that Scouts can enroll in. It
is a one-day course that
teaches Scouts various lead-
ership skills. It was held at
Baptist Bible College and
was very educational for
those who took it. A more
advanced version of this
course is called Great Med-
icine and occurs during the
end of April and the begin-
ning of May.
This month Troop 160 also
went camping. We went
backpacking on the Pinchot
Trail. This trail is located in
the Lackawanna State Forest
off oSuscon Road in Du-
pont. It is named after Gif-
ford Pinchot, Americas first
professional forester. He was
governor twice for Penn-
sylvania, and the first Chief
of the United States Forest
Service.
The Scouts had to carry
all of their gear in backpacks
on their way to the campsite.
The gear included a tent,
sleeping bag, clothes, food
and other gear. The back-
packs weighed between 25
and 30 pounds. The Scouts
carried their heavy packs six
miles to their campsite that
was on the riverside. There
they learned some skills and
had a lot of fun. By the time
dinner came, our dehydrated
meals appeared gourmet.
The next morning the Scouts
hiked another four miles
back to where they started.
Throughout the hike, some
Scouts struggled carrying
their packs. The other
Scouts helped them out by
adjusting straps or by reliev-
ing them of some gear. Ei-
ther way it is important for
Scouts to help one another.
Remember, a Scout is help-
ful.

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

A crowd of about 200 turned out for the Festival of
Trees kick-off event inside the Electric City Trolley
Museum at 300 Cliff St., Scranton on Friday, Dec. 9.
While the festival serves to show the history and cre-
ativity of the region, the kick-off event also served as a
fundraiser for Toys for Tots. Nearly $1,500 was raised
for local efforts, according to Lackawanna County Dep-
uty Director of Arts and Culture Maureen McGuigan.
Last year, $1,100 was raised.
The community event featured small businesses, non-
profits, clubs and more who paid to decorate trees under
the theme Celebrating Northeast Pennsylvania Living.
Along with $20 tickets, $1 votes for the Peoples Choice
Award for favorite tree helped meet the fundraising goal.
First place and the 2010 Peoples Choice Award went
to the Hubbard Bike Club. Club Vice President Brian
Gilboy, 46, of Jefferson Twp., said the club decorated its
own tree with used bike parts, seats and even a helmet
tree topper in the past and decided to join the festival for
the first time this year.

educational learning experi-
ence for secondary students to
demonstrate their understand-
ing of scientific and engineer-
ing principles to everyday
experiences, in this case
bridge structures.
Kieffer said the competition
often aids students in making
career choices, and many of
his past students are now pro-
fessional engineers designing
real bridges.
He also pointed out that the
competition helps students
develop analytical thinking
skills, in that once their
bridges are built, they have to
step back and critically ana-
lyze the structures, consid-
ering different factors that
will affect the bridges effi-
ciency and possible changes
that need to be made.
Kieffer said students begin
by observing real bridges
from everyday life and visua-
lizing the forces involved,
thinking back to their science
and technology classes, and
applying what they learned in
the labs. They are permitted to
seek advice from professional
engineers, but must design
and build their own bridges.
Students may spend as little or
as much time as they desire
working on their bridges, but
to properly build a good one
takes about 30 hours.
Contestants must bring their
completed bridges to the event
on February 11 starting at 8:15
a.m. with competition set to
begin at 10:30 a.m.
First, Kieffer said, a panel
of representatives from local
engineering firms will inspect
the bridges for compliance
with the criteria set by the
international competitions
host region. If a bridge is not
up to standard, the contestant
will have the opportunity to
make modifications to bring it
into compliance. Next, contes-
tants will test their bridges
with a testing apparatus con-
nected to a computer pro-
gram, by pouring sand into a
bucket hung from a force
sensor.
According to the release,
the plaque and trophy award-
ed to the first-place winner is
sponsored by CECO Associ-
ates in memory of Angelo
Rosati, and an Architectural
Excellence Award is also
given in memory of Tomas
Kovall, a former Abington
Heights physics teacher who
died of cancer.
Kieffer said any individual
or organization interested in
becoming a program sponsor
should contact him at
651.3286 or dhkieff-
er@alum.lhup.edu.
He is also seeking a co-
director, someone willing to
work with him on the compe-
tition and carry it on after
him. I dont want to see this
program dropped when I am
unable to do it, he said.
For more information on the
Bridge Building competition,
visit www.neparbdgblg.com.
Students interested in partici-
pating should talk with their
teachers or school adminis-
tration for details.

The origin of the toy dates
back to a time when the Greek
armies of King Antiochus
controlled the Holy Land,
before the Maccabees defeat-
ed them and sent them pack-
ing.
The powerful regime passed
a series of laws outlawing the
study of Torah and many of
the mitzvoth. The Jews were
compelled to take their Torah
learning underground.
Dreidel games are a salute
to these Jewish heroes of
yore, as explained on the
website jewishdiscoverycente-
r.org.
Rabbi Benny Rapoport of
the Jewish Discovery Center
at 749 Northern Blvd., Clarks
Summit, said, of course
there are all these rules as to
how you play the game but,
ultimately, its the distraction
that was used when the
Greeks would try to catch
them. It turned into a battle
but after a while they took to
the hills and there was actual
fighting. The Jewish people
fought against huge mighty
armies 20 times their size with
elephants, armor and a small
band of brothers, he added.
The Maccabee brothers stood
up and started a revolt and
they won. The Temple was
defiled. They wanted to take
out the spirituality. The Jewish
people represented the spiritu-
al message, the purpose that
God gave us all of these gifts.
They found one little cruse of
pure oil that still had the seal
and it was only good for one
day but it lasted for eight days.
The light, spiritual light was
able to overcome the material
limitations. It was the message
of triumph of good over evil,
freedom over oppression,
spirituality over material ob-
session. Thats Chanukah.
The dreidel, most common-
ly made of wood or plastic,
has always been part of the
Hanukah tradition and in Rab-
bi Rapoports family, During
the celebration, theres the
concept of the games that we
play, family gathering, and
traditions to give money. You
can play dreidel games with a
group of people. The kids love
it. When the sun sets, we light
the Menorah.
This year, Chanukah is cele-
brated Dec. 20-28. The first
candle of the menorah is lit at
nightfall of the first day of the
holiday.

Are the days leading up
to Christmas flying by for
you? They definitely are
for me. Not only with
shopping and the typical
preparations for the holi-
day, but since we live in
such a vibrant community,
these days in December
have also been filled with
activities that are just
pure fun.
For instance, Tunkhan-
nocks Christmas in Our
Hometown was glorious.
The town, so beautifully
decorated, was filled with
good cheer. During the
festivities, the Dietrich
hosted a homemade coo-
kie walk coordinated by
theater board member
Nancy Aiello. And, boy,
did folks from our area
bake for us.
I have never seen that
many cookies in my life.
Imagine - for one eve-
ning, the Dietrich smelled
more like cookies than
popcorn. We appreciate
everyone who provided
delicious treats for the
benefit, including the
Keystone College students
who baked over 50 dozen
cookies.
We would also like to
thank everyone who came
out and purchased a con-
tainer of delicious coo-
kies. The walk was a
great success.
Terrific crowds of all
ages also came out to our
Holiday Workshop and the
free showings of Emmet
Otters Jugband Christ-
mas. We would like to
thank Cabot Oil & Gas
Corporation for sponsoring
the events.
During those activities, I
especially enjoyed wit-
nessing both children and
adults react with delight
to the Dietrichs Earnshaw
Gallery. Thanks to the
generosity of a few an-
gels who purchased new
Christmas decorations for
the Dietrich (since all of
ours were lost in the
flood) and to patient vol-
unteers who meticulously
decorated, the gallery is a
sight to behold.
If you havent seen it
yet, I really recommend
stopping by for visit.
While in the downtown,
I also recommend stop-
ping in at Tunkhannocks
unique shops. They are
just chock full of gor-
geous items. During
Christmas in Our Home-
town, my husband and I

n its first year, the Marleys Mission 2011-12
Art Contest received 101 entries. The non-
profit organization shared artwork with the
community in an exhibit at the Starbucks in
the Mall at Steamtown earlier this month.
Marleys Mission, which provides free equine
assisted psychotherapy to children who have expe-
rienced trauma, opened the contest to children in
grades kindergarten through 12, asking them to
create a drawing based on the theme Hands and
Hooves on an 8.5-inch by 11- inch sheet of white
paper.
The childrens artwork, which reflected the heal-
ing power of horses that helps children learn to
trust and hope, was on exhibit during Scrantons
First Friday on Dec. 2.
A number of entries were submitted from resi-
dents of Clarks Summit and Scranton, but art con-
test co-chair Jennifer Macknosky said a great num-
ber were from outside the area, including Mary-
land and New York.
It was nice to see that. It shows that Marleys
Mission isnt just in Pennsylvania, that its starting
to spread out, said Macknosky.
During the exhibit, those in attendance were in-
vited to vote for their favorite piece at a cost of
$1. The votes were tallied at the end of the night,
and Gabriele Hanstein, 12, of Scranton, was voted
the Peoples Choice Winner.
Hansteins mother, Leigh, told her about the con-
test, and working off a photograph her father,
Fred, had taken of a horse, she created her sub-
mission.
Painting for the last four years and taking art
classes, Hanstein has been awarded for her art
work twice this year.
She won the 2011 JC Penney Recycling and En-
ergy Conservation Art Contest this summer. Her
original artwork was chosen from 18 states as the
Northeastern regional winner.
Samantha Wilkerson, 11, of Clarks Summit, was
named the runner-up in the Marleys Mission Art
Contest. As part of their prize, the girls art-work
will be featured on a set of special occasion note

choosing Ireland, we want-
ed to have a European
country and the girls run-
ning that exhibit have
friends that studied
abroad.
She added, There are a
lot of different cultures
represented in the Scranton
area so why not make some
sort of a multicultural ex-
hibit? We proposed the idea
to our education clubs and
we had students from each
of the three clubs volunteer
to take a specific country.
We started coming here
once every two weeks and
we met with Lexie (Kelly),
Megan (Swann) and Tom
Gershey. Tom had this
great vision and was telling
us all of the different things
we could do for it. He took
our original plan and made
it into this huge exhibit,
which is phenomenal.
The three university stu-
dent clubs involved with
the planning of the exhibits
are the Council for Excep-
tional Children CEC (S.
Korea exhibit), Association
for Childhood Education
International ACEI (Ke-
nya), both national chap-
ters, and the Student Edu-
cation Club of The Uni-
versity of Scranton SECUS
(Ireland exhibit).
I intentionally took a
back seat with these Uni-
versity of Scranton stu-
dents, who are currently
taking or have taken classes
with me so they could real-
ly make this exhibit their
own task, Dr. Mbugua
said. I was more of a re-
source to the students who
took ownership of this
project. I was a resource
and, for the most part, the
exhibits involve putting
into practice strategies,
One of the goals of Tim-
mys Town Center chil-
drens museum is for chil-
dren to learn through play
and hands-on engagement.
When youre hands on
and youre learning with
your hands, you are inher-
ently taking things in that
you dont necessarily see if
you are looking at a pic-
ture, said Lexie Kelly,
co-founder of the hands-on
museum on the second
floor of The Mall at Steam-
town.
TTC opened its doors in
2009 and is a private,
not-for-profit organization
formed to create a chil-
drens museum in memory
of Kellys son, Timmy, who
died of cancer at age five.
Recently, a group of ap-
proximately 20 students
from The University of
Scranton, long with uni-
versity associate professor
Tata J. Mbugua, Ph.D. and
Tom Gershey, a volunteer
who has a background in
construction and cabinetry
and is currently serving as
an advisor to Timmys
Town Center, TTC, took
time out of their schedules
to help Kelly and her staff
develop an exhibit at the
museum.
Glocalize: Globally
InspiredLocally Made,
is the name given to the
multicultural exhibit by
Megan Swann, TTC devel-
opment director. The exhib-
it promotes the under-
standing of cultural and
ethnic heritage and encour-
ages respect and apprecia-
tion of cultural diversity.
Glocalize is comprised of
three exhibits created by
the students, as well as a
fourth exhibit, a playhouse.
Kelly explained, The
University of Scranton
education clubs have done
exhibits of three separate
countries: South Korea,
Kenya and Ireland. We
(TTC) took the old puppet
theatre and we created a
playhouse. That exhibit
will change and the next
house will be Japanese. It
is a rotating exhibit. It all
tells a story and the idea is
they learn about the culture
by playing in the culture.
The exhibits allow chil-
dren to experience first-
hand a Mexican hacienda,
traditional dress, ethnic
music, recipes, letter writ-
ing to Kenyan school kids
and a variety of cultural
crafts.
Funds for TTCs portion
of the project were provid-
ed by a grant from the
Scranton Area Foundation.
Ellen Maggie Coyne, a
senior at The University of
Scranton, is one of the
students involved in the
development of the exhib-
its. It all started when
Megan Swann talked to me
about getting the education
clubs Im involved with
more involved with Tim-
mys Town Center, Coyne
said. Myself and the other
officers were all for it. So
she arranged for Lexie
(Kelly) and me to be in
touch. We wanted to use
countries that we could pull
resources from, so we
thought of people on our
campus and we wanted
countries that were vastly
different from one another.
So we thought of our pro-
fessors and international
students. We thought were
definitely going to do Ke-
nya with Dr. Mbugua. With
concepts and ideas of dif-
ferent countries the stu-
dents were studying in my
social studies class at the
university. There was sig-
nificant collaboration
among the three different
University of Scranton
student clubs.
She added, The families
and children visiting Tim-
mys Town Center would be
able to get first-hand expe-
rience about the three
countries by interacting
with the materials, the
money, the products, arts
and crafts, pictures and
anything that would stim-
ulate their interest. This is
something students do as
part of my class. Theyre
bringing in ideas already
that they took from the
classroom and then beyond
that, its the clubs and the
university encouraging
those clubs to work togeth-
er
The students raised their
own funds for certain ex-
hibits and were allocated
money from the student
government to fund their
projects.
Gershey provided a plat-
form for the university
students to present their
exhibits and transformed
available space into the
Hacienda.
The current exhibit will
run through Feb. 19.

To Everything A Sea-
son: A Collection of Poet-
ry, is the title of 30-year-
old Danica Sorbers book
and some of the pieces in
this collection, or anthology,
reflect her personal journey
presented to readers through
life inspired stories.
The whole idea of it is
emotionally that every hu-
man being goes through
seasons in life. There are
the wintery times where its
dark and your emotions are
down and then there is
spring where everything is
good. Summer is kind of
like youre chilled out and
autumn is the breath right
before winter starts, said
Sorber.
And at this point, Sorber
is personally in the cusp
between fall and winter.
My emotions do follow
the seasons, said Sorber.
This writer grew her lit-
erary roots in Sacramento,
CA, where some of her
thoughts and writing for her
book originated while she
was a student at Encina
High School.
Some of the stuff Ive
written in there, (in my
book) I wrote in high
school.
Readers will find stories
that rhyme in Sorbers book,
but perhaps not in a tradi-
tional sense, with sonnets
and Shakespearean verses.
She explained, One thing
that kind of irks me is that
when people hear the word,
poetry, they might think
sonnets and Shakespearean
and young men going on
and on about the beauty of
their ladylove compared to
a summers day. Poetry
doesnt have to be like that.
You can be sure some of the
stuff in there is going to be
quirky and upbeat, but thats
because of the season its in.
Poetry can always be
thought and emotion evok-
ing and its not just what
you imagine it to be. They
are stories that rhyme. They
have a purpose are not
meant to be poetry on a
page.
Her favorite piece is the
story of Enlightenment,
the woman in the dungeon
telling stuff she has been
living through, according
to Sorber. Enlightenment
was written when I woke up
in the dead of night and had
this idea for a story. I
hopped out of bed, ran to
my desk and wrote
it.thats the final prod-
uct, said Sorber.
Its about a young wom-
an who had her innocence
ripped away from her and
she led this life of pain and
anguish, but in the end, she
was stronger than it. She
came out and she was brave
and courageous. Honestly I
like the twist at the end.
Sorber crosses all genres
of writing and doesnt like
to pigeonhole herself into
one genre. Her works in-
clude inspirational poetry
and a lot of what she refers
to as darker stuff, in-
cluding thrillers, paranor-
mal womens fiction and
horror stories. She is cur-
rently working on a ro-
mance novel. My mind
doesnt compartmentalize
into one genre so Im every-
where. I have works in pro-
gress all over the place,
said Sorber.
She attended Word of
Life Bible Institute in Flor-
ida and New York and Bap-
tist Bible College in Clarks
Summit and has an educa-
tional background in bibli-
cal counseling.
But I love to write, so
why not do that? So, thats
what Ive been doing since
2004.
Sorber works from her
home in Factoryville and
feels she is immensely
blessed with an incredible
family, a home and this
ability to work from home
doing something I love, and
this incredible love for any-
thing literary. I love to write
and I think part of the pas-
sion for that and the desire
to create imaginary worlds
comes from the fact that I
didnt necessarily grow up
in one that I actually wanted
to be in.
She and her husband,
Jeremy, have three children,
Ruth, Timothy and Naomi.
To Everything A Sea-
son was published by Tate
Publishing and Enterprises,
LLC, a Christian publishing
company, in 2011 and will
be available soon through
Amazon.com and at major
bookstores. To learn more

LIBRARY NEWS by Mary Ann McGrath
In lieu of decorating the Childrens Room Christmas tree
with traditional ornaments, the Abington Community Li-
brary is accepting donations of new socks in sizes for in-
fants, toddlers and children up to age 6, to hang on it.
The colorful pairs covered last years tree, with all dona-
tions being sent to St. Josephs Centers Mother/Infant Pan-
try in Dunmore, which helps families of young children

Young library patrons are encouraged to bring in the socks
and hang them on the branches by themselves. The dona-
tions will be accepted throughout the rest of December and

Timely New Non-Fiction
Marthas Entertaining: A Year of Celebrations, by Mar-
tha Stewart. Whether the occasion is for morning, afternoon
or evening, Martha puts her special stamp on each and every
breakfast/brunch, bridal shower or tea and holiday dinner
party celebration.
Each of the unique events was photographed at one of
Marthas various homes or favorite event spaces. The book
is oversized and filled with page after page of food photog-
raphy that also highlights seasonal flower arrangements and
unusual place settings, all with Marthas touch. Recipes
follow at the end of the book and are accompanied by de-
tailed step-by-step techniques for preparing them as demon-
strated by Chef Pierre Schaedelin, Marthas collaborator on
the recipes and menus for this book.
Emily Posts Etiquette: Manners for a New World by
Peggy Post, et al. In this 18th edition, the great-great-grand-

Communication on the Go, Social Networking, Tattoos and
Technology in the Workplace, Todays Families, Manners
for Children and Teens and Dating in a Virtual World. A
Special Features section suggests scripts for handling diffi-
cult situations, sample invitations and announcements, an

and useful reference charts on names and titles, dress codes
for every occasion and wedding budgets.

The Holy Cross Crusad-
ers defensively dismantled
the Lakeland Chiefs by
way of a 64-21 victory
Monday, Dec. 12 at Holy
Cross High School.
Holy Cross jumped out
to an early lead after two
blocks by Katie Purcell,
which led to a layup on
the offensive end and a
7-1 lead.
After the quick start,
the Crusaders continued
to shut the Chiefs down
defensively.
We didnt handle their
man-to-man defense at
all, Lakeland coach Joe
Vadala said. We played
very robotic and did the
same thing every time.
We looked for the next
part of the offense rather
than playing basketball.
Lakeland cut the lead to
five in the first quarter
when Allison Kraky con-
verted a three-point play
toward the end of the
quarter, but Gab Giordano
banked in a three at the
buzzer to bump the lead
back up to eight points.
Purcell increased the
Crusaders lead to 19-6,
scoring five straight
points to start the second
quarter. The Crusaders
outscored the Chiefs,
18-8, in the quarter and
held Lakeland to just one
field goal.
The last two weeks we
worked on trying to vary
what we do to get open
and we didnt do a very
good job at it, Vadala
said. We tended to do
the same thing every time
and you cant do that
against a good team.
Holy Cross didnt let up
in the second half, scor-
ing 10 unanswered points,
including five from Emily
Mineo.
The Crusaders held the
Chiefs scoreless for more
than five minutes in the
third quarter before Alissa

For the untrained observer, track and field
events are a breed of sports confined to warm
weather and outdoor venues. With winter winds
swirling and snowcoating the ground through-
out the winter, local harriers would normally be
out of a venue to showcase their skills in prep-
aration for the spring season.
Enter the world of indoor track.
While most local high schools dont possess
the facilities to host indoor track meets, varsity
teams are able to compete in invitational meets
hosted by colleges and universities throughout
the Mid-Atlantic region.
As teams compete in such events, athletes are
eligible to qualify for a PIAA-sponsored post-
season championship in all indoor track and
field events.
With winter sports in full swing, local track
and field coaches shared some of their plans for
the indoor season, and talked about howsuccess
indoors can help lead to big things for their
teams in the spring.

CLARKS SUMMIT- Abington Heights used
tight defense and timely scoring to defeat Holy
Cross, 55-42, in the season opener for both
teams on Dec. 9.
We wanted to put pressure on the ball and
make it difficult to get it to the big guy (Kosin)
inside, Abington Heights head coach Ken Bi-
anchi said. I thought our guards did a good job
and I thought our big men did a good job inside,
fronting him and having some help from behind.
Both teams played hard. We were fortunate to-
night that we made a few more baskets than they
did.
The Comets jumped out to a 13-7 lead at the
end of the first quarter. They expanded their
lead to 28-18 at the half as center Jason Bamford
scored six of his 13 points in the second quarter.
The junior also blocked three shots and held

third quarter and held a
51-18 lead heading into
the fourth.
The Crusaders outscored
Lakeland, 13-3, in the
final quarter to secure the
victory.
Kraky led the Chiefs
with six points while
Steier chipped in five.
Giordano scored a game-
high 13 points for the
Crusaders while Purcell
added 12.
Lakeland will look to
improve its offense head-
ing into its next game
against ES Notre Dame at
7:15 p.m. on Thursday,
Dec. 15 at home.
Thats a big part of it,
Vadala said.
We have a lot to work

As Frank Passetti enters his
eighth season as head track and
field coach at Abington
Heights, the veteran track coach
is quick to sing the praises of
the winter track opportunities
his teamworks towards.
All of the indoor track meets
our teamenters are invitations
held at colleges within a reason-
able driving distance, Passetti
explains. We have six meets
scheduled, including our first
meet on December 17 at Dick-
inson College in Carslile. Were
also scheduled for meets at East
Stroudsburg University, Sus-
quehanna University and two
meets at Kutztwon University.
Looking at his returning
lineups, Passetti expects Sean
Burke to be an anchor for the
boys team. Amedalist at the
state level in cross country
earlier this year, the senior
could use the winter as a
springboard to a big outdoor
season later in the year.
Sean is a versatile athlete
with good leadership, Passetti
explains. We hope he can keep
his success fromthe fall rolling
right through our indoor sea-
son.
Looking at his girls lineup,
Passetti describes his teamas
young but talented and ex-
pects the teamto growtogether
over the winter.
Felicia Cadman and Isabelle
Clauss are expected to be strong
performers in distance events
for the Comets, while Taylor
Ross, Erin Jaeger and Jen
Burke also are expected to
feature prominently for Abing-
ton Heights.
Because we dont have a
venue to practice, we mostly
run in the hallways and up and
down staircases in the building
after school, Passetti ex-
plained. But the effort pays
major dividends in the spring,
as our kids are pretty much
ready to go when practice
starts.
Lakeland Chiefs
While both the boys and girls
track and field programs are set
for just one indoor meet at the
moment, boys head coach Art
Davis is optimistic that his team
can use the opportunity as a
great start for the spring season.
At the moment, we are set
for a January 6 meet at East
Stroudsburg University, but we
may add another meet going
forward, Davis explained.
Were excited to see some
veteran athletes compete for us
and to welcome some good
newcomers.
Junior Zack Kreiger and
senior TimVon Storch are back
to run in the 800-meter event,
while senior Paul Szustakowski
and junior Mike Karwaski are
set to provide veteran lead-
ership in the distance and sprint
events, respectively. Junior
Bruce Lindemuth will lead
sophomores Gavin ODonnell
and Chet Anuszewski in the
hurdles, while junior Jake Nol-
dy will compete in the pole
vault.
Frank Baumann and A.J.
Rupp, both sophomores, will
compete in the throwing events.
Freshmen Mark Arzie and
Nathan Morgan will join Szus-
takowski in the distance events.
Its a good mix of experi-
ence for us and the indoor
events give us a chance to see
where we stand heading into the
spring, Davis said of the com-
ing season. Our kids are excit-
ed to get to work.
Davis confirmed that the girls
varsity team, coached by Linda
Stevens, will also compete at
the January 6 meet at East
Stroudsburg University. In-
formation on the teamwas not
available at press time.
Lackawanna Trail Lions
When contacted for informa-
tion on the indoor track pro-
gram, Lackawanna Trail athlet-
ic director Harry Powell con-
firmed that no track and field
activities will take place until a
newhead coach is hired for the
program, following last weeks
resignation of head coach Mark
Johnson.

Messiah College made
The University of Scranton
womens basketball team-
wait.
The Lady Royals waited
more than six minutes for
their first point on Dec. 7
and now coach Mike Strong
will have to wait at least
four more days for his re-
cord-breaking 758th career
victory.
Dori Gyori scored 17
points and grabbed 11 re-
bounds and Scranton never
led as Messiah held on for a
55-49 victory.
Gyori, a 6-foot-2 post
player from Hungary, had 13
of points in the second half
when the Falcons turned
back a comeback attempt.
Whether it was nerves or
their defense, we didnt do
too well in the first half
offensively, said Strong,
who is tied with former St.
John Fisher coach Phil Kah-
ler for the most wins in
NCAA Division III womens
basketball history.
The Lady Royals missed
their first 10 shots and
Messiah opened early leads
of 9-0 and 14-2.Scranton
finished the half shooting
just 6-for-31.
The Lady Royals needed
the final five points just to
get within 28-18 at intermis-
sion.
Katerine Torto hit a 3-
pointer with 1:37 left and
Christina Hiltunen scored on
a drive with three seconds
left.
Scranton got within four
points twice in the final
1:38, but never had the ball
in the second half while
facing a deficit of fewer
than five points.
The Lady Royals were
hurt by nine second-half
turnovers.
I didnt anticipate at the
beginning of the year this
team would be this turnover
prone, Strong said. Were
turning the ball over way
too much, unnecessarily.
Allison Sweeney led the
Lady Royals (3-4) with 12
points and three assists.
Torto added eight points and
a team-high 10 rebounds.
Messiah, which was na-
tionally ranked earlier in the
season, improved to 5-2
with the help of 13 points by
Nicky Hess and 10 by Taylor
Miller.
The Lady Royals are off
until Saturday, Dec. 17 when
they play at Cabrini College
in the first of five straight
road games.

OBITUARIES
Captain
Robert James
McCarty,
United Air-
lines/USN.
Ret., 83, of
Clarks Sum-
mit, died Wednesday at Gino J.
MerliVeteransCenter. He was
the husband of the former Jill
Ann Kleinheinz. The couple
had been married more than 29
years.
Born Dec. 13, 1927, in
Brooklyn, N.Y., son of the late
Peter F. and Louise J. Botsford
McCarty, he and his family
moved to Clarks Summit in
1990 from Denver and had
lived in San Francisco, as well.
He grew up on Long Island in
the town of East Rockaway. He
was a graduate of St.Agnes
High School, Rockville Cen-
tre, Long Island, N.Y., and
furthered his studies at Swarth-
moreCollege, Swarthmore;
Adelphi College, Long Island,
N.Y.; St. Francis College, New
York City; and later the Uni-
versity of San Francisco.He
proudly served his country as a
U.S. Naval aviator in both
World War II and the Korean
War. Honorably discharged, he
was awarded the Victory Med-
al and American Theater med-
als. Motivated to join the Navy
following the attack on Pearl
Harbor, he enlisted at 17 and
trained as a pilot. His passion
for flying led him to a long,
successful career as a United
Airlines captain after discharge
from the Navy. He entered his
eternal life on the same date
that motivated his career, 70
years later, his life coming to a
full circle. Bob was a faithful
member of Our Lady of the
Snows Church, attending Mass
and receiving communion
daily for most of his almost 84
years. He also was an originat-
ing founder of the Padre Pio
Adoration Chapel at Our Lady
of the Abingtons Church in
Dalton. He spent many hours
there until his health declined.
An avid outdoorsman, he en-
joyed hunting, particularly elk
in the west with his sons. Fish-
ing and golf were also pas-
sions. He had a beautiful
swing, perfected by hitting
hundreds of empty cans under
the tutelage of his uncle as a
young boy. He was a member
of Glen Oak Country Club and
served on various committees.
The family sincerely appre-
ciates and thanks the dedicated
care provided by the staff at
Gino J. Merli Veterans Center
First Floor Dementia Unit in
Scranton, as well as those who
have helped from Veterans
Administration over the course
of Bobs illness. Prior to his
entrance to Gino Merli, he was
given kind and compassionate
care from Traditional Home
Health and Hospice, who as-
sisted his wife in caring for
him at home.
Surviving are six sons, Rob-
ert and Michael, Boulder, Co-
lo.; Thomas and wife, Laura,
San Francisco; Matthew, U.S.
Army/Ret., Austin, Texas;
Daniel and fiance, Kelli
Hoertz, San Francisco; and

Crusaders center Josh Kosin
to three first half points.
He did a very good job,
Bianchi said of Bamford.
Jasons long and he made
his presence felt tonight. He
had several blocks and went
to the boards on offense. We
need that kind of effort from
him and he knows it.
Comets guard Kevin El-
well made two first-half
three pointers and finished
the game with 10 points and
three rebounds.
Kosin, who finished with
14 points and seven re-
bounds, scored seven points
in the third quarter to cut
the Comets lead to 34-29.
Abington Heights was able
to put the game away in the
fourth quarter by making 20
of 24 free throws to seal the
win. The Crusaders convert-
ed just six of 13 free throws
in the final quarter and 13
of 24 in the game.
Comets guard J.C. Show
scored six of his game-high
20 points in the fourth quar-
ter.
It wasnt pretty, but we
play very well together and I
think we did a pretty good
job defensively, Show said.
We had a couple letdowns
in the second half, allowing
them to shoot a lot of free
throws. Overall, it was ugly,
but well take the win. It
was a tough shooting night,
youre going to have those,
but the most important part
of the game is defense. If
you can play defense, you
put yourself in position to
win any game no matter
how many points you score.
Connor Callejas and Casey
Gaughan each added eight
points for Holy Cross in the
loss.
The Comets returned just
one starter from last season
in Show, a sophomore.
Bianchi was pleased with
his young teams effort.
We tell them all we want
you to do is play hard and
have fun, he said. As long
as youre playing hard and
having fun, Ill accept that,
win or lose. Theyre going
to make mistakes, but we
try to work on them and
keep them down to a mini-
mum. I think they did that
tonight.

Henry
A.Pappy
Sobolak Jr,
65, of Lenox
Township
died Friday
morning at
home after a courageous bat-
tle with cancer. His wife of 13
years is Theresa Corazza So-
bolak.
He was born in Elizabeth,
New Jersey on October 7,
1946, son of the late Cathe-
rine Butchko Sobolak. He was
a graduate of Springfield
High School Clark New Jer-
sey and, upon graduation,
enlisted in the United States
Marine Corp and served hon-
orably in the Vietnam con-
flict, receiving two Purple
Hearts and the Bronze Star.
After returning from Vietnam,

husband, father, stepfather
and grandfather. He was the
founding father of The Sons

enjoyed his German Shep-

very active in the veteran

helping them receive the ben-
efits they deserve. Pappy was
a one-of-a-kind man and left a
lasting impression on every-
one he met, and he believed
in living life to the fullest.
Overcoming many trials in his

anyone who needed it, he
would jokingly be known to
say, I cant take the pres-
