The Official

Guide for
the Clarks

Festival of
Ice is in this
weeks issue
of The
Abington
Journal.
At the Ransom Township
Board of Supervisors meeting,
on , February 6, Eric Moeller,
of Ransom Township, made a
complaint to the supervisors
regarding propane cannons
used during the summer to
scare birds away from a neigh-
boring farm owned by Keith
Eckel.
Moeller told the supervisors
the cannons fire every 15 to
20 seconds from approximate-
ly 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., starting
mid-June and continuing until
around Labor Day. He said his
family hears over 2,100 blasts
a day during that time period.
Moeller contacted Eckel
about the issue in the summer
2007 and followed up with a
letter in February 2008. For
the next three summers, he
heard no cannons. He said he
researched alternatives to the
cannons and concluded that
their use is unnecessary.
But, June 2011 brought a
return of the cannons, he
said. We spent the next 12
weeks in constant contact with
Mr. Eckel, pleading for some
relief from the daily assault on
our ears. He finally stopped
accepting our calls.
Moeller said hes also been
in contact with Supervisor
Dennis Macheska in the past
regarding the issue, but with-
out results.
Every municipality in this
country recognizes that every
individual has the right to
quiet enjoyment of his proper-
ty, he said. The constant
noise which I believe rises to
the level of public nuisance
has become impossible to
ignore. Mr. Macheska has
informed me that the Penn-
sylvania Department of Agri-
culture permits the use of
these cannons, but that does
not mean that my elected town
supervisors can or should
Ransom
residents
argue rights

Over the past eight years,
The Clarks Summit Festival
of Ice, organized by the
Abington Business and Pro-
fessional Association and
scheduled for February 16-
20, has become a much-
anticipated event.
Those involved with orga-
nizing the event say they try
to offer something new each
year, and even theyre
amazed with the way the
event has grown.
We keep on growing,
theres more of everything
going on (this year). Theres
more of everything than
ever before; its going to be
a fun festival. Were defi-
nitely excited, said Clarks
Summit Festival of Ice co-
chair Barry Kaplan.
The event, which will run
Thursday through Monday,
will feature 56 ice sculp-
tures relating to the theme
The Frozen Games 2012
as well as different events
throughout downtown
Clarks Summit.
The festivities will kick
off with a Family Fun Faire
sponsored by State Repre-
sentative Sid Michaels Ka-
vulich on the second floor
of the Clarks Summit Bor-
ough Building at 6 p.m. on
Thursday, Feb. 16.

Area students passion
for engineering was
abundantly apparent last
weekend at the Viewmont
Mall. School districts
from across the area met
Saturday morning for
The Northeast Pennsylva-
nia Regional Bridge
Building Competition.
The competition invited
area students to build a
model bridge and their
basswood structures were
tested by a group of pro-
fessional engineers.
I think I did pretty
well, said Branden Con-
noly of Abington Heights
High School. I distrib-
uted the weight over an
ark. I used a program
called AutoCAD to cre-
ate an ellipse. I made
outside corners tangent
to the ellipse to distribute
the weight along the out-
side.
This year, the 24th
annual competition fea-
tured 35 students com-
peting for recognition of
their engineering skills.
The winners are eligible
for scholarships from
Penn State Worthington-
Scranton and Johnson
College.
It took me about a
week to build, Abington
Heights High School
student Gianna Baldoni
said of her entry in the
competition. It was dif-
ficult but fun.
This seemed to be a
common sentiment
among students who put
in hours of tedious work
to achieve the highest-
quality product.
During the competition,
each student waited their
turn wherein they loaded
their bridge with weight
until the bridge failed.
The students with the
bridges that resisted the
most weight were pre-
sented with a trophy and
a plaque.

Baptist Bible College &
Seminary (BBC&S) President
Jim Jeffery is
proud to live
by the schools
mission state-
ment: We are
focused on
excellence in
biblical higher
education to
develop effec-
tive global Christian leaders.
Jeffery feels his biggest suc-
cess as president is not taking
credit for what God has done
through his outstanding team
of faculty, staff, administrators
and trustees.
It is because of their shared
vision and passion to provide
excellence in biblical higher
education for effectiveness in
global Christian leadership that
much has been accomplished,
said Jeffrey. I celebrate our
alumni that are making a differ-
ence for Christ in 47 nations
and all across the country in
numerous leadership roles also
serving the needs of people.
Jeffery is grateful for the
improvements to the campus,
the new Kempton Athletic
Center, classroom technology
and the new campus entrance-
way.
During his time as president,
he has seen nine new churches
planted in Pennsylvania and
New York City. There has also
been a growth in online educa-
tion, which expands the influ-
ence of BBC & S in undergrad-
uate, graduate and seminary
education.
What Jeffery foresees for
BBC & S is the school contin-
uing to expand its academic
programs in keeping with the
mission.
He believes in growing the
number of both campus and
online students and also feels
that partnering with local
churches to help embrace and
expand its ministry is a plus.
Wed like to be a center for
biblical higher education
through faculty scholarship and
mentoring, he said. Providing
for our students through in-
creased scholarships and grea-
ter value in their education is
key.
As president of BBC & S,
Jeffery is responsible for pro-
viding leadership for the ad-
ministration in furthering the
mission of BBC&S. He be-
lieves it is the administrations
duty to represent BBC&S to
stakeholders.
Some of this takes place by
raising funds for student schol-
arships and campus projects
and by speaking and teaching
not only at BBC&S, but in
churches, conferences and
seminars.
Giving back to the communi-
ty is important to Jeffery.
By serving our community
in churches, helping other non-
profits and through community
service days, we help maintain
our position in the community,
he said.
BBC&S is involved in local
service clubs, the Greater
Scranton Chamber of Com-
merce, volunteer fire and EMS
companies and more.
The school provides summer
camps for children, teens, men
and women and offers sporting
events, drama and music con-
certs that are open to the public.
The Love-Life Marriage and
Family Center on campus meets
the needs of individuals and
families. Students also serve as
employees in local businesses.
Ordained in to the Baptist
He desires to serve God with humility
This article is one in a series
profiling the presidents of clubs
and organizations in the Abing-
ton area.

Forty-year-old Diane Hibble is a
self-proclaimed adrenalin junkie.
She has always been active. At 7
years old, the Clarks Summit native
began taking dance classes and
danced until she was 16. She was
also an avid runner and her ac-
complishments in track and field
and cross country were the subject
of many news stories.
When there werent enough girls
to compete in cross country, they
would put me on the boys team and
I would still often come in first,
said Hibble, a 1990 Abington
Heights High School graduate.
Following her 16th birthday in
1988, Hibble was forced to shelve
her running career when she was
diagnosed with ovarian cancer. De-
spite the diagnosis, she only slowed
her pace briefly to recuperate and
heal following surgery. At that
point, she focused her attention on
martial arts and began practicing
Hung-Gar Kung Fu, where she
excelled and won her division for
Staff and Saber in a national com-
petition.
After graduating from Marywood
University in 1995 with a degree in
fine arts with a concentration in
woodworking and metal smithing,
she packed her bags and told her
parents she was going to Rochester
verly.
For more information, call
878.8212 or email dchibble@com-
cast.net.
Mardi Gras and come here the day
after and work it off. I really like
that Zumba is more of a group ac-
tivity. Zumba is really more of a
party than a workout.
Maria Wilson, Waverly Commu-
nity House director, said of Hibbles
upcoming fundraiser, I cant imag-
ine a better fundraiser that is more
in keeping with what we do at the
Comm. Diane has tremendous ener-
gy and we are extremely grateful
that she is donating her time and
Zumba talent for the benefit of the
Comms recreational facilities. Ev-
erything she does is top shelf and I
suspect that this fundraiser will be
fantastic fun for everyone who at-
tends. This should be a blast and
good for you, Hibble is married to
Charles Hibble, owner of Weichert
Realtors /Hibble and Associates.
She was also a Realtor for many
years, but gave up her license to
pursue her career in art as well as
renovating properties that she and
her husband either flip or rent out.
The fundraising event will be
held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. and the
cost is $10 per person, which in-
cludes an evening of Zumba Fit-
ness, beverages, healthy snacks.
Raffles, prizes and a business card
exchange.
Proceeds from the event will be
donated to the Waverly Community
House, 1115 N. Abington Rd., Wa-
has organized, COMM Together,
a business card exchange fundraiser
to support the Waverly Community
Houses recreation projects and to
continue progress on the play-
ground and the tennis courts.
Id like to enhance ongoing pro-
grams at the Comm to ensure peo-
ple from the community have a safe
and fun place to play, said Hibble,
Thats why the 22nd is a big day
for me because its my anniversary,
said Hibble.
Anyone planning to attend the
event might also want to bring com-
fortable workout clothes and sneak-
ers a 45-minute Zumba dance
session taught by Hibble is also part
of the evenings line up.
Two years ago, Hibble fell in love
with Zumba Fitness, a Latin-in-
spired, calorie-burning dance fit-
ness-party created by Alberto Be-
to Perez. A high school friend
contacted her and encouraged her
to try a class. She began teaching
Zumba fitness classes at the Comm
on January 18.
It is a healthier alternative to
the typical cocktail fundraisers with
unhealthy snacks and cocktail after
cocktail, Hibbard said of the card
exchange fundraiser. This is some-
thing to promote a healthier life-
style. This is the reason the fun-
draiser will be held the day after Fat
Tuesday. People can splurge on
to find a job as a woodworker and
resume her running career.
In 2000, she ran her first mara-
thon in Dublin, Ireland when she
joined a group to raise $3,500 for
the Arthritis Foundation. Since
then, she has completed six other
marathons since.
Three years ago, at the age of 37,
Hibble faced yet another fear head
on when she decided to go for her
first skydive. Today, she is a licens-
ed skydiver with nearly 100 jumps
to her credit.
I definitely believe in taking
chances. Hibble said. I want to
make sure that if there is anything
in life that I want to experience,
even if Im scared of it, I push my-
self to try it and get myself out of
my comfort zone.
She participated in a Polar
Plunge for two consecutive years
as a means to raise money for The
Hubbard Polar Plunge, which ben-
efited The Arc of Scranton.
Hibbles mantra is Never let your
fears live your life for you.
I have fears and believe in con-
quering them instead of becoming a
prisoner to them, she said
Hibble will celebrate the 24th
anniversary of being cancer free on
February 22. One of the ways she
plans to mark that day is to raise
money for the Waverly Community
House as part of a fundraiser she

Diane Hibble will host COMM Together
on Wednesday, Feb. 22 at the Waverly
Community House.
The Lackawanna State Park
boasts 1,445 acres of land, but its
impact on the community, local
economy and surrounding envi-
ronment extends far beyond its
physical borders.
The park offers a wide variety
of recreational activities, such as
camping, picnicking, hiking,
mountain biking, boating, swim-
ming, hunting, fishing, ice skat-
ing, cross-country skiing and
more. Its also a part of a number
of environmental education pro-
grams and statewide environ-
mental initiatives.
Tom and Sharon McArdle, of
South Abington Township, visit
the park about twice a week and
appreciate its year-round accessi-
bility. Sharon said its a great
place to walk without having to
worry about traffic, and its also
a good place to take children.
Its great for our granddaught-
er, she said. She can run and
she can play in the play area.
The couple has hiked and skied
tion programs, such as Get Out-
doors PA, iConcerve PA, Conser-
vation Landscape Initiatives, PA
Wilds Initiative and more.
Drew pointed out if park staff
members are going to make a
difference in conservation, they
cant just focus on the small area
within the parks borders because
its connected to a much larger
picture.
You have to take a broader
look if you want to conserve
something and follow the natural
borders, he said.
While the impact of the park
on the community and environ-
ment may not come as a surprise
to most, an aspect of its impact
perhaps not often thought of is
that of economics.
A May 2010 report on The
Economic Significance and Im-
pact of Pennsylvania State Parks,
conducted by Penn State Uni-
versity, found that visitors spent
an estimated total of $6,880,000
on their trips to the Lackawanna
State Park during 2008.
The report states, this spend-
ing resulted in $6,633,000 in
sales, contributing to 103 jobs
with $2,321,000 in labor income
and $3,649,000 in value added.
This impact begins at seeming-
ly insignificant levels: A mainte-
nance worker mowing the grass,
an educator teaching preschoolers
about the importance of conser-
vation, a friendly clerk working
the cash registers at the pool.
Then, it adds up, and the im-
pact, along with the good reputa-
tion of the park, spreads.
and conservation.
Drew said most of the staff
members are compelled by con-
servation ethics and/or outdoor
interests and are always encour-
aged by hearing that people are
using and appreciating the park.
Its hard to find a time when
theres no one in the park, he
said, and thats good to see.
Frank and Marge Loughney, of
Scott Township, visit the park
three to five times a week during
the summer to go kayaking and
bicycling, and two times a week
during the winter to walk.
Theyve observed albino deer,
otters, turtles and eagles during
their visits.
It really is a hidden treasure,
Marge said, adding that the park
is kept in good shape.
Gary and Norma Weidner, of
Dalton, enjoy the park most dur-
ing the winter when it is more
peaceful as opposed to the sum-
mertime when it gets crowded.
Whenever its a nice day, we
come over for a walk, Gary
said.
There are also a lot of people
who regularly walk their dogs,
one of whom is Harry Curnow,
of Scott Township who walks
Bella, his Boykin Spaniel. He
spoke highly of the staff, and
said, You meet a lot of nice
people.
Not only does the park impact
the people in the community; it
impacts the local environment, as
well.
It is involved in many conser-
vation and environmental educa-
most difficult part of his job is
managing his time and juggling
all the things that sometimes
demand his attention at once. He
also enjoys that aspect of his job,
however, and the variety it brings
day-to-day and season-to-season.
Its never the same thing every
day, he said.
Environmental Education Spe-
cialist Angela Lambert, who is in
charge of a number of environ-
mental and education outreach
programs at the park, agreed. I
could be working with pre-school
kids one day and be at a board
meeting the next, she said.
Drew is entering his third year
at Lackawanna State Park, but
has been with the Bureau of
State Parks since high school
when he started as a lifeguard.
Lambert has been with the park
since 1996 and with the Bureau
since 1986. Both said they just
stumbled into the job original-
ly, but have always had an in-
terest in science, the outdoors
every trail in the park, which
adds encompasses about 18
miles. They also enjoy kayaking
and have observed many different
forms of wildlife while on the
trails and lake, including deer,
pileated woodpeckers, bald eagles
and even a golden eagle.
Tom pointed out that the park
is always well-maintained, and
Sharon added, The staff is very
cordial.
The park staff, while small and
sometimes stretched thin, has a
reputation among park-goers for
keeping the place maintained and
friendly. Park Manager Dustin
Drew said the staff includes a
maintenance department, envi-
ronmental education staff, admin-
istration, seasonal lifeguards and
rangers.
Drew oversees not only the
operations and maintenance of
Lackawanna State Park, but also
of Salt Springs State Park, Arch-
bald Pothole State Park and
Prompton State Park. He said the

where K.D. could sit with us.
We went hiking, lounging on
dog-friendly beaches, taking
K.D. to play and socialize at
the local off-leash dog park
and tossing tennis balls as far
as we could.
Her passion was playing
fetch and even on the rainiest
of days, we made it happen.
We taught her to swim by
tossing Milk Bones into a
stream, first just a foot off
the bank and eventually,
when her doggy paddle be-
came proficient, all the way
across the water.
Fast forward to 2012, three
children later and K.D. is still
a central part of our lives.
Sure, as the infants came
along, there was less time to
devote solely to her. I re-
member the dejected look on
her face as I came home
from the hospital 10 years
ago with the first baby.
As I whittled the hours
away caring for the infant,
rocking, feeding, diapering
and burping, Id look across
the room lovingly at K.D.
sometimes, remembering
when I had the time to play
with her. She adjusted to her
new reality seamlessly
though, making it her mis-
sion to insure the babys safe-
ty. If the baby was in the crib,
K.D. would lay on the floor
next to it, growling at anyone
who dare drive into the drive-
way or approach the door. As
the years went by, she han-
dled the toddlers with infinite
patience. They tugged at her
tail and tried to ride her and
she graciously put up with
them. They became accom-
plices as the kids tried their
first finger foods and she lay
in vigil below the high chair,
ready to clean up any
crumbs. Before long they
were sneaking her treats,
reading bedtime stories to her
and using her as a pillow.
Doug and I are amazed
that she is 17. She has been
here as three children were
Doug and I adopted K.D.
the dog in early 1995. She
was our first baby and we
were wholly devoted to her.
We had searched long and
hard for the right dog, brows-
ing the animal shelters for
months, until one of the
workers at the Humane So-
ciety gave us a tip.
Come on a weekday, not
Saturday, the workers said.
Dogs get dropped off all
week but most of them are
gone by 10:00 Saturday
morning.
We showed up on a
Wednesday evening and there
she was - a fuzzy, trembling
puppy huddled in the back of
a cage. We knew instantly
she was the one. We had to
lobby our apartment manager
at the time to allow what
would become a bigger dog
into the building.
He was reluctant to sign
the agreement required of
landlords by the Humane
Society, but we were un-
relenting, threatening to va-
cate if we couldnt bring her
home. Once we did bring her
home, we had adjustment
behaviors to contend which
we hadnt anticipated.
It took time for our new
puppy to warm up to her new
humans due to her history.
She had been given as a
Christmas present to a wom-
an who didnt like dogs. De-
spite being just weeks old,
she had not been permitted
inside the womans home,
instead living several months
of her early life tethered to
the end of a chain day and
night, throughout the winter
months. Eventually, the wom-
an got around to dropping
her at the shelter. That was
our lucky day.
Our non-working hours
came to revolve around this
furry mutt. We would spend
our weekends in dog-friendly
places. When it came time to
select a restaurant, we would
only frequent outdoor cafes
born and a second dog joined
our household, but her body
is failing her fast. We med-
icate every meal to make her
more comfortable and treat
her age-related conditions.
We all saw Marley and Me
and we know how it ends.
That was several years ago
and the girls cried themselves
to sleep when the movie end-
ed.
I thought that was going
to be a fun movie! one of
them yelled. They shouldnt
make kids see that!
Were now living it.
I took the kids to see We
Bought a Zoo last week.
One story line is that of Spar,
an aging tiger, who also hap-
pens to be 17 years old. His
owners are struggling with
the same issues we are.
Eventually, he is put down
and for our family, this hit
too close to home. When the
credits at the end of the film
rolled, it turned out that
Spars real name is Katie.
The coincidence did not go
unnoticed.
Then, after a difficult eve-
ning last week when K.D.
could barely get up to go
outside, the tears began to
flow. I dried my eyes as we
discussed with the kids for
the first time that we may
need to help K.D. get to
heaven. Seeing her strug-
gling, they didnt argue, but
the mourning began.
Mom, get me some Tums.
My heart hurts! Lauren
cried.
With some tweaking of
K.D.s medications, we were
able to stabilize her the next
day, prolonging the inevi-
table. I made sure we had
Tums in the house, just in
case.

Three local students are one
step closer to fulfilling their
dream of attending a service
academy after they were grant-
ed nominations by U.S. Repre-
sentative Tom Marinos 10th
District Service Academy
Nomination Board. The board
is composed of veterans, acad-
emy graduates, business own-
ers, educators and other com-
munity leaders.
The next step in the process
is acceptance into their chosen
military academies, a decision
made by each academy.
Anthony Cerra, son of An-
thony and Ann Marie Cerra
and a senior at Scranton Prep
High School, was nominated to
the Naval Academy.
Its a pretty lengthy process
that you need to start early in
your junior year, Cerra said.
Getting nominated is the har-
dest part. There are many stu-
dents who apply, but so few
who are actually nominated.
Cerra believes his strong
schoolwork and patriotism
factored heavily into his selec-
tion.
He was impressed with the
academic tradition of Navy and
hopes to follow in the footsteps
of some of Americas best
leaders.
The Naval Academy is a
great institution that has pro-
duced a lot of very credible
alumni, including former presi-
dent Gerald Ford, John
McCain and Buzz Aldrin,
Cerrasaid. They have made
significant contributions to
American society and are great
role models to follow.
The Clarks Summit resident
has taken steps to be ready to
succeed should he be granted
admission.
The Naval Academy has a
rigorous curriculum and I have
been preparing myself phys-
ically for the challenges that,
hopefully, await me, Cerra
said. I have been running and
going to the gym more often to
get in better physical shape.
Kevin Murray, son of Kevin
and Pamela Murray and a se-
nior at Abington Heights, was
also nominated to the Naval
Academy.
According to Murray, the
academies are looking for
students who have the total
package.
They really look at how you
are as a whole and what ser-
vice you can provide as an
officer in todays military, he
said.
Murray believes a trip he
took with the Rotary Club of
the Abingtons impacted his
nomination.
I think my exchange trip
abroad to Venezuela with the
Rotary International definitely
gave me an advantage, he
said. That really allowed me
to be open and cultured, and I
think the board was able to see
that I was more open to differ-
ent things.
Murray is confident that his
time spent at Abington Heights
has prepped him for the chal-
lenges the Naval Academy
would present. In addition to
excelling in the classroom, he
was also a member of the track
and field team.
I think it has definitely
prepared me both academically
and physically, he said. (Na-
vy) really looks at sports (par-
ticipation) and Abington
Heights has great sports pro-
grams. I think were a very
strong school academically.
The upper-level classes have
been challenging, and I think
they have prepared me for what
Im going to see should I get
selected.
Murray has also honed in on
certain subjects that the Naval
Academy focuses on heavily.
Ive been trying to concen-
trate a little bit more on my
physics and science classes
because they stress engineer-
ing, he said. Ive also been
keeping up with my second
language by taking AP Spanish
classes, trying to maintain the
bilingual aspect that I have
gained through the cultural
exchange program.
Hannah Tuffy, daughter of
William and Lisa Tuffy of
Scott Township and a freshman
at Cedarville University, has
been nominated to West Point.
Tuffy applied to the Naval
Academy last year, but en-
rolled at Cedarville University
after her admission was denied.
I have been considering
attending a service academy
for almost three years, she
said.
Tuffy believes her active
lifestyle helped her receive a
nomination.
I feel that Im well-round-
ed, she said. Ive always had
good grades, played a lot of
sports and volunteered at my
church. I have been involved
with the ROTC (Reserve Offi-
cers Training Corps) at col-
lege. I think re-applying was
also a good plus. It showed my
dedication.
Tuffy thinks her time spent at
Cedarville University will be
beneficial should she be ac-
cepted to West Point.
I really got a feel for what
college life is like, she said.
Its a really tough challenge
academically and has showed
me that going to West Point
and spending my life in the
military is the direction I want
to go in.
During her freshman year of
college, Tuffy has worked hard
to further develop her resume.
The ROTC program has
helped so much, she said.
Ive also been volunteering.
Im trying to make my tran-
script the best I can.
West Point stood out to the
Lakeland High School gradu-
ate for a few reasons.
I felt the values and ideals
of the Army are perfect for
me, she said. They develop
good leaders and I feel that is
the most important thing in the
military. Also, the way I was
treated by them, I knew it was
the right place to go.

Schools Students Against
Destructive Decisions
(SADD), which currently
consists of approximately 70
members, selects a different
theme each month to show-
case.
The theme for the month of
March is tobacco-awareness
and throughout the month
there will be a display set up
of 55 pairs of shoes to repre-
sent lives lost to tobacco use.
The shoes will be collected
throughout the month of Feb-
ruary and there are written
and vocal announcements
made to the high school stu-
dents as a reminder about the
drive.
School family and consumer
science teacher and SADD
advisor Roseanne Michaels
said the group is collecting
every size shoe from children
to adult.
The group currently has
approximately 20 pairs of
shoes and is accepting dona-
tions from students and mem-
bers of the community.
Michaels, who has overseen
this project from its inception-
four years ago, said the group
prefers shoes in a gently-used
condition and is accepting all
types of shoes. At the end of
March, the shoes will be do-
nated to St. Francis of Assisi
Kitchen in Scranton.
The 55 pairs of shoes rep-
resent 55 lives that are lost in
Pennsylvania daily from to-
bacco use, said Abington
Heights High School senior
Brandon Perigard, 18, of
Clarks Summit.
Perigard has been a member
of Students Against Destruc-
tive Decisions (SADD) since
he was a freshman and this
year holds the position of
Public Relations Officer for
the club .
He believes the actual vi-
sual of the shoes displayed, as
opposed to just a number on
paper, has a bigger impact.
I think the fact that the
shoes are there and empty
impacts it as well because it
represents people that have
actually died as a result of
tobacco-related diseases. So
these were people, Michaels
said about the displayed
shoes.
SADD is open to all mem-
bers of the high school and
anyone who wants to join has
to sign a pledge, according to
Michaels.
For students about to enter
the high school, Perigard
encourages them to join
SADD once they reach the
high school.
I would encourage them to
join it and to live by its mess-
age, said Perigard.
I think to be a member of
SADD or to be an officer or
somebody really active, really
involved, takes a lot of guts,
so to say, because youre real-
ly putting yourself out there
that I dont do this, and Im
proud of it, he said
Msgr. Joseph Kelly, director
of Catholic Social Services
and executive director of St.
Francis of Assisi Kitchen,
said the kitchen accepts dona-
tions of clothing and shoes
and is looking for sneakers for
men and women and also
mens jeans. Sizes from chil-
dren to adult are accepted.
Msgr. Kelly said there is a
drop-off box for donations
open 24 hours a day, seven
days a week and is located
next to St. Francis of Assisi
Kitchen, 500 Penn Ave.,
Scranton.
Members of the community
can take their shoe donations
to the Abington Heights Mid-
dle School, 222 Noble Rd.,
Clarks Summit.

The staff at an area
Convenient Food Mart
helped turn one person
into a millionaire this
weekend.
According to a press
release issued by the
Pennsylvania Lottery, one
Powerball ticket worth $1
million from the drawing
on Saturday, Feb. 11, was
sold at Convenient Food
Mart, 330 Northern Blvd.,
Clarks Summit.
The ticket correctly
matched all five white
balls, 01-10-37-52-57, but
not the red Powerball, 11,
for a $1 million second-
tier prize, less 25 percent
federal withholding, ac-
cording to the press re-
lease.
The owner of the Conve-
nient Food Mart, Jerry
Zubert, was out of town
and could not be reached,
but the stores manager,
Maureen Atkins, said this
is the largest lottery prize
shes aware of being won
from a customer of the
store.
I was really excited,
Atkins said after hearing
the news.
Its pretty cool. I hope
the person is local.
The identity of the win-
ner was not at press time.
The press release stated
that lottery officials can-
not confirm the identity of
the winner until the prize
is claimed and the ticket
is validated. Pennsylvania
Lottery Powerball winners
have one year from the
drawing date to claim
prizes.
Convenient Food Mart
will receive a $5,000 bo-
nus for selling the win-
ning ticket.

throw their hands in the air
and tell me too bad.
Macheska told Moeller,
Thank you, but I believe
there is nothing we can do
about that, to which Moeller
replied, Im sorry, but thats
not a good enough answer.
Solicitor Edmund J. Scac-
chitti, Esq. told Moeller the
first thing to do would be to
examine zoning ordinances
and promised to research the
topic for the next meeting.
Eckel, who was not present
at the meeting, said in a tele-
phone interview that his fam-
ily has farmed the land on
which the cannons are used
since 1981. He pointed out it is
located in an Agricultural
Security Area, meaning that
normal agricultural practices
on that land are protected by
the Department of Agricul-
ture.
This is nothing new, he
said. When sweet corn is
maturing, it is very attractive
to birds. And by law, farmers
cannot sell any corn that has
been contaminated by birds.
He explained the cannons
are a humane way of keeping
birds away, and theyre used
from the beginning of July
until just after Labor Day,
firing from about 7 a.m. to 7
p.m.
He said the cannons are
only used for protecting sweet
corn, and the reason they we-
rent used from 2008 through
2010 was that the farm rotates
its crops, also planting toma-
toes and pumpkins.
Theres no solution unless
we were to stop growing sweet
corn, he said, adding that the
cannons do their job.
I will defend my right and
other farmers rights to nor-
mal agricultural practices, he
said.
Another topic of discussion
at the meeting was the possi-
bility of closing off a narrow
dirt section of Dark Region
Road, a proposal that was first
made at a meeting eight
months ago after a car crash at
that location in may took the
life of 22-month old Cole T.
Hazelton.
Bud Stann, of Dark Region
Road, inquired as to whether
anything had been done to
move forward with that pro-
posal. The supervisors assured
him the issue is still being
investigated.
Stann doesnt believe any of
the residents of the road op-
pose the idea of closing it off
and having a key or swipe
card for them to get in.
As far as I can see, he
said, the liability to the town-
ship would be so much dimin-
ished by closing that road
offand it would be very
reasonable to have gates there
with keys for emergencies.
Supervisor William Brown
suggested it may be helpful to
have a petition signed by the
residents of the road, stating
they are in favor of the plan.
The supervisors noted the
township received correspond-
ence from the Lackawanna
County Highway Safety Pro-
gram regarding an open forum
on drugs and alcohol for par-
ents and teens, and that in-
formation will be posted on
the front door of the township
building.
Under administrative ac-
tions, was the appointment of
Zoning Officer Robert Lu-
kiewicz, who will now handle
zoning permits at the fee of
$35 a visit plus mileage.
Macheska noted that two
men had been seen around
town selling meat and fish out
of the back of a Toyota with
N.Y. tags. Please dont buy
anything from them, he said.
In the road report, Super-
visor David Bird said the bid-
ding for roads to be worked on
this year is in progress. He
also said the road crew will
work on trimming trees along-
side the roads to give them
more sunlight so they will dry
out faster, leaving less ice.
The next regular meeting is
to be held at 7 p.m. on Mon-
day, March 5 at the Township
Building on Hickory Lane.

Kavulich started discuss-
ing sponsorship opportuni-
ties for the festival with
Kaplan and, when he heard
the Family Fun Faire was
still available, he jumped at
the chance to be the events
sponsor.
I thought it was the per-
fect thing, said Kavulich.
Its a great family event,
great fun. (The Clarks Sum-
mit Festival of Ice) is a
great event, a lot of people
come out to it. Weve been
here in the past. Its phe-
nomenal what these ice
sculptures do, and all in all,
itsjust another one of the
great events that go on up
here in Clarks Summit and
the Abingtons. Im looking
forward to it.
The Family Fun Faire will
feature face painting, story-
telling with Chris Archan-
gelo, childrens crafts and
more.
Kavulich will be on hand
at the faire and will also
participate as a torchbearer
in the Clarks Summit Festiv-
al of Ice Parade.
Torchbearers will run
down South State Street
during the parade and at the
end will light an Olympic
Ice Cauldron located by the
clocktower. In addition to
Kavulich, other runners will
include Lloyd Lamm, Lisa
Akulonis, Kaplan and more.
The parade will depart
from the Clarks Summit
Elementary School at 7
p.m., proceed down West
Grove Street, make a left
onto South State Street,
continue through town and
disperse at the Highland
Avenue and Winola Road
intersection.
The night will close with
the Post Parade Performance
on the first floor of the
Clarks Summit Borough
Building.
The performance will fea-
ture emcee and DJ Jack
Martin, the coronation of
Festival of Ice Olympians,
juggling performance by
Rob Smith and All About
Theatre Performing Arts
Schools presentation of the
interactive Olympic Story.
The Clarks Summit Bor-
ough Building will offer

bridge was determined by
dividing the load supported
by the bridge mass.
Zachary McNulty of Poco-
no Mountain West finished in
first place.
I wanted to go light,
McNulty said, firmly grasp-
ing his trophy. I tried to
build a small and simple
bridge. That was a double-
edge sword because I needed
to cut out some things and
make it higher to meet re-
quirements.
Luckily for McNulty, the
sacrifice proved to be a wise
one. The student said that the
victory was a big surprise to
him, being that he is a first-
year participant in the compe-
tition.
He plans to keep up his
hard work as he hopes to be a
civil engineer one day.
High school juniors have
the benefit of learning from
their bridges shortcomings in
order to come back stronger
for next years competition.
Moreover, this years winners
will be eligible to rebuild
their bridges for an interna-
tional competition in Phila-
delphia set to be held on May
1.
Although he might apply a
few changes, McNulty says
he wont mess too much
with the design. .

N
ow in their senior
year at Emerson Col-
lege, film students
Tyler Weinberger and
Edgar Rosa are start-
ing to seriously make
plans for their future, and the com-
munity has a chance to help make
that future a little brighter.
The two are in pre-production on
Twice Two Makes Four, a 20-
minute short film about the Haw-
thornes, a couple struggling with
the impending death of their 7-
year-old daughter.
Each parent deals with the childs
fate differently. The mother, unable
to accept it, demands second opin-
ions from doctors, while the father
lets go of all hope and turns to
handcrafting his daughters coffin.
The film was written and direct-
ed by the duos classmate, Joel
Soh, to serve as his capstone pro-
ject.
It was the quality of material that
attracted Weinberger and Rosa to
the project. Weinberger is a pro-
ducer and cinematographer on the
film and Rosa is a producer and
marketing director.
The two see the film as some-
thing that can have a life outside
of just being a school project.
Were going to enter it in film
festivals, and were hoping it can
be a breakout thing, said Wein-
berger.
The classmates are looking to
make a professional-quality film
and have acquired the help of pro-
fessional casting agent Jen Rudin.
Jen has cast both Hollywood
movies and Broadway shows, said
Rosa. Most recently, shes worked
on The Princess and the Frog and
The Incredibles.
The film will also be shot with
an RED EPIC camera.
Its a professional digital cinema
camera. A lot of primetime televi-
sion shows are shot on that. In
Time was shot on that, said
Weinberger.
The cost of renting the equip-
ment, paying for Rudins services,
not to mention the costs of a pro-
fessional grip and lighting equip-
ment, the actors fees, production
design and transportation have giv-
en the film a professional-sized
budget.
Preparing to start filming Twice Two Makes Four in the Waverly area starting the first week of March are, from left, Edgar Rosa, Joel
Soh and Tyler Weinberger.

New Adult Fiction
A Parliament of Sies, by Cassandra Clark - Fourteenth
century Britain, under the rule of King Richard II, is the
setting for this medieval mystery. Amid civil unrest and
threats to the kings reign, Abbess Hildegard is called upon
by the Archbishop of York to act as his spy in Parliament.
The nun, known for her loyalty and intelligence, must face
murderers, traitors, noblemen and madmen to solve a puz-
zling scheme.
Shadows in Flight by Orson Scott Card - The three
children of Bean, called Ender, Carlotta and Sergeant,
share his genetic mutation that gives brilliance and a short
life. In order to give scientists on Earth a chance to find a
treatment, if not for Bean, then for his children, they board
a ship to the stars, a near-light speed ship that propels
them into the future. The novel comes to a climax when
the ships life support begins to fail and Beans children
must save themselves.
Out of Oz by Gregory Maguire - Once peaceful and
prosperous, the Land of Oz is in chaos. The Emerald City
is mounting an invasion of Munchkinland, Glinda is under
house arrest and the Cowardly Lion is on the run from the
law when who should return to Oz but Dorothy. This book
is the conclusion to Maguires Wicked Years Series.
Books Burn Badly by Manuel Rivas - On August 19,
1936 at the beginning of Spains tragic civil war, Fascist
soldiers piled up books and set them alight. The stories of
Hercules the boxer, of a young washerwoman and of the
son of a judge who uncovers his fathers hidden library
provide a colorful tapestry, but even as the singed pages of
the burned books that contain them fly away on the breeze,
the stories live on.
The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson - After 20
years in the Roughs, Waxillium Ladrian has been forced
by family tragedy to return to the metropolis of Elendel.
He must put away his guns and assume the duties and
dignity of the head of a noble house. Then he learns the
hard way that the mansions and elegant tree-lined streets of
the city can be even more dangerous than the dusty plains
of the Roughs.

The producers estimate they
will need an additional
$20,000 to complete Twice
Two Makes Four the way its
envisioned. In an effort to
raise the money theyve turn-
ed to Kickstarter, a fundrais-
ing platform for creative pro-
jects where project creators
keep complete ownership and
control over their work.
Anyone is able to donate as
little as $1 or the full cost of
the project.
The group currently has
over $6,000 raised on Kick-
starter, and has until Friday,
Feb. 23 to reach their goal if
they want to see any of the
funding.
Its all or nothing, Rosa
said of Kickstarter, which
only awards an artist money if
the full goal is reached.
While that is what the film-
makers are hoping for, Wein-
berger said the duo will begin
shooting the film in early
March, regardless of the out-
come of the Kickstarter pro-
gram.
If we dont hit the mark, if
we dont get the $20,000,
well still shoot, but well have
to do a lot of rearranging, he
said.
The crew plans to shoot
scenes for the film in Boston,
Utah, Scranton and Waverly.
A Waverly native and an
School graduate, Weinberger
secured the local locations for
the film, where the two will
shoot March 2-11. Hes excit-

Step 1: Attacker takes your back, tying
up both arms and controlling your head
movement. Place both hands on your
forehead with palms facing out. This
defense will keep the attacker from
being able to push your head down-
ward.
Step 2: Move your arms in a straight
downward motion, keeping tension on
the attackers arms. Pinching in and
trapping the attackers arms, bring your
left foot behind the attackers right leg
at the same time.
Step 3: Roll forward with your head
tucked, dropping to your right knee
and throwing the attacker over your
right shoulder. Keep the attackers
arms trapped while rolling over.
Becky Burke ended a
slump in a big way on Sat-

The senior from Abing-
ton Heights High School
tied one school record
while leading the way as
the 20th-ranked University
of Louisville set another in
an 89-62 womens basket-
ball victory over Syracuse
University.
Burke had been scoreless
for two straight games be-
fore scoring a career-high
28 points. She tied a school
record by hitting eight 3-
pointers while the Cardi-
nals set a school record by
making 18 shots from 3-
point range.
Shoni Schimmel also hit
six 3-pointers as Louisville
shattered its previous re-
cord of 14.
Louisville, 7-5 in the Big
East and 18-7 overall, had
lost three straight.
The Cardinals hit 58.1
percent of their 31 attempts
from long distance.
Burke hit her f irst two
shots, one from each cor-
ner, during a game-open-
ing, 20-4 run.
After I hit my f irst three,
I think everybody kind of
gave a sigh of relief,
Burke said in an Associ-
ated Press story. A career
1,000-point scorer, she was
averaging 11.4 points per
game despite the slump.
Syracuse used a 19-8
surge to get within 51-42
on the opening basket of
the second half. Burke then
hit two straight 3-pointers
to put Louisville back in
control. She added two
more, 1:25 apart, to tie the
school record with 3:12
left.
I just kept shooting and
the crowd was great,
Burke said in the AP story.
It was a really good time
overall.
Burke has started 24 of
25 games for the Cardinals.
She leads the team in 3-
pointers with 62, is third in
scoring and steals and
fourth in assists.

After a strong third quarter against
Elk Lake on Friday, Feb. 10, the La-
keland Chiefs remain undefeated in
Lackawanna League Division III sec-
ond half play with a 69-53 victory.
Senior guard Alex Filarsky nailed
four 3-pointers in the third quarter to
lead Lakeland on a 25-6 run to start
the second half.
In the first half we started slow-
ing the ball down and not playing at
our speed, Filarsky said. I think
after halftime we started playing our
game and thats when we started to
see the score go up.
The Chiefs stormed out of the
gates behind the hot shooting of ju-
nior guard Eric Grabowski. Grabow-
ski scored Lakelands first seven
points and nine of the teams first 11
en route to an 11-2 run.
Getting off to a good start gives
you a little bit of a cushion to relax,
slow the ball down and try to play
your game, Filarsky said.
Junior guard Kyle Kiehart scored
the Chiefs next nine points and fin-
ished with 13 points in the first half.
Despite the early lead, Elk Lake
fought back to take the lead in the
second quarter. The lead changed six
times in the second quarter before
Elk Lake tied it at 25 before the end
of the half.
After making just two 3-pointers in
the first half, Lakeland hit five in
the third quarter.
We went in at halftime and I said
that good threes are coming off drive
and dishes, not just throwing the ball
to each other, said Lakeland coach
Dave Rosenkrans. We hit a few in
the second half, which was great.
The Chiefs coupled their offensive
onslaught with stifling defense to
give Lakeland a 50-31 advantage at
the end of the third quarter.
The past three weeks weve been
emphasizing defense and weve done
a really good job holding teams to
single-digits in quarters, Rosenkrans
said. Thats one of the things that
these guys realize is that if were
going to compete with teams like
Holy Cross, Riverside and Montrose,
weve got to play defense.
The Chiefs stretched the lead over
20 points in the fourth quarter. Fil-
arsky secured the victory with a
monstrous block with less than four
minutes left in regulation to go
along with his four 3-pointers that
Chiefs

the bench and T.J. Murray add-
ed six points, five rebounds and
three assists for Abington
Heights.
After dropping their first
three games of the second half,
the Comets have won three
straight.
We had lost four straight
(overall), but we just keep stick-
ing together, Showsaid. We
continue to work hard in prac-
tice. Two of our last three
games, we were able to play
well as a teamand I think thats
been the key to our success.
The Comets (16-5, 3-3 Div.1)
were scheduled to host Scran-
ton High School in their final
regular season game on Tues-
day, Feb. 14.
VICTORY
dergarten, since I was about
5 years old, he said. My
dad got me involved, but I
wasnt really that into it until
the end of seventh grade.
Thats when I started wres-
tling during the spring and
fall and decided that I want-
ed wrestling to be my main
sport.
When asked about a favor-
ite match from his career,
Carr reflected on his junior
high days.
I had a match that went to
triple overtime, he said. I
was truly totally exhausted
after it. It was one of the
hardest things I can ever
remember doing, but I got
the win.
Over the years, the junior
has admired the skill and
grace that top wrestlers ex-
hibit on the mat.
If youre watching a good
wrestler, you grow to appre-
ciate some of the moves and
the style, Carr said. You
Abington Heights wrestler
Michael Carr is in the midst
of a breakout season and his
coach thinks even better
results could be on the hori-
zon.
I would say hes a solid B
performer right now, Abing-
ton Heights
head coach
Chris Calder
said of Carr.
He still has a
lot of room to
improve. A lot
of great things
can happen to
him in the
postseason to propel him
into next season. I look for
his postseason to be an A to
A+. I expect to see him in
Hershey at the end of the
year as one of the last guys
to leave the arena at 152 lbs.
as a state medalist.
Calder has been pleased
with Carrs development
under his guidance.
Hes really good on his
feet and is getting better,
the second-year head coach
said. Hes continuing to
improve. Hes being coach-
able and is open to improve-
ment. The more coachable
he is, the better he wrestles.
According to Calder, the
junior has certain skills that
have led to his success.
Hes the leader in the
room in number of take-
downs and percentage of
takedowns on his feet, Cal-
der said. Thats whats
opening him up for his
wins.
Carr started wrestling at a
young age and found his
niche in the sport during
middle school.
Ive been going to tourna-
ments and meets since kin-
really look at it as an art.
Some of the things you
watch a wrestler do, you will
say thats beautiful.
Carr has several moves in
his arsenal that have been
critical to his wins this sea-
son.
Ive really gotten profi-
cient at takedowns and es-
capes, he said. Also, if I
can get an arm bar in, I usu-
ally get the pin.
Although Carr is not a
team captain, he has worked
with the younger wrestlers
who have shown dedication
to the sport.
I have tried to pull some
of the guys in the right di-
rection that I know want to
have a good high school
career, he said. If I know
they want to take it seriously,
I help them out as much as I
can.
The Dalton resident credits
his head coach for pushing
him to work hard all the
time, despite his success.
Hes shown me to leave
my ego at the door, Carr
said. I came in as a fresh-
man after a great year as a
junior high wrestler. I
thought I was really great,
but he showed me that Im
never going to be the best.
There is always going to be
someone better and I always
have to keep working to get
there.
Carr, who has a record of
28-4 this season and finished
5-0 in Lackawanna League
Division 1 matches, is hop-
ing to end the season on a
positive note.
I want to finish in the top
three at regionals and make
it to states, he said.
Carr, 17, is the son of John
and Cecilia Carr.

Tournament on Saturday,

Cars made by the Facto-
ryville Cub Scout Pack 175
were rolling down the track
at the annual Pinewood
Derby held on Saturday,
Feb. 11 at the Fellowship
Hall of Dalton United
Methodist Church.
Cub Scouts from Pack
175 showed their creativity
and building skills by mak-
ing and designing their
own cars. The ranks, which
entered the derby, were the
Webelos, led by Victor
Purdy, the Wolf Den, led
by Dan Demora, and the
Bear Den, led by Danielle
Vokes.
Scouts were given a
block of wood, wheels and
axles to make the cars.
Fathers of the Scouts vol-
unteered to weigh the cars
which needed to be five
ounces or less to enter in
the race.
I think the Pinewood
Derby is nice. I got to work
on a car with my family,
said Pack 175 Cub Scout
William Dixon from Dal-
ton. Its fun because we
hang out with friends and
win prizes.
I made a car and got to
race it in the racetrack,
said Pack 175 Webelo Da-
mian Howard from Facto-
ryville. Its a lot of fun for
the kids, added Damians
father, Kevin Howard. It
brings them all together.
Cubmaster Brian Kanuik
set the cars on a wooden
downhill track three at a
time and an electronic eye
recorded first, second and
third place of each car. Cub
Scouts watched with antici-
pation as their cars zoomed
down the race track.
They sat behind red Do
Not Enter tape under ta-
bles surrounding the track.
Wolf Den Leader Dan
Demora announced the
results while assistant Cub-
master Eric Garver record-
ed them on a laptop. The
top three finishers of each
rank advanced to the finals.
There were also adult
races and a race for the
slowest car. Trophies were
given to Cub scouts whose
cars finished from first
through fifth place.
Michael Kanuik finished
in first place, Victor Ka-
nuik in second, Austin San-
ko in third, Mathhew Ganly
in fourth and Richie Coc-
chini in fifth .
Evan Garvers car won
slowest car overall. In the
adult races, Daniel Snyder
came in first place, Lucas
Wescott, finished second
and Thomas Vokes was
third.
The trophies were spon-
sored by Kanuik Oil Com-
pany..
I enjoy what the Cub
Scouts enjoy, said Joe
Kanuik.. Im still a kid at
heart.
Kanuik and his daughter
Lauren Kanuik are both
drag racers. Joe races at
5-Mile Point at Mac-a-Tek,
which is near Hamlin. Lau-
ren races at Numidia Drag-
way in Catawissa.
Trophies were also
awarded to Cub Scouts for
the decorations of the cars.
Categories for these tro-
phies included Silliest Car,
Best-Looking Car, Most
Scout-Like, Most Futuristic
and more. These cars were
judged by Pastor Brian
Lucas, pastor of Dalton
United Methodist Church
and Factoryville United
Methodist Church.
Anything that benefits
children is wonderful, said
Lucas. Personally speak-
ing for the church, were
behind this wholeheartedly,
especially Scouting pro-
grams. This particular
event is fun.
Food and raffles were
sold at the Pinewood Derby
to raise funds for the
Scouts. The Pinewood Der-
by raised funds for events
for the Cub Scouts includ-
ing their trip to Battleship,
New Jersey on March 31.
The food was sponsored
by Conifer Corners, a Fac-
toryville farm. Conifer
Corners also sponsored
patches and ribbons, which
were given to the Cub
Scouts for participating in
the derby.
Were always looking
for more kids to join the
Cub Scouts, said Tracy
Wescott, whose three sons
are all Cub Scouts.
Also on Saturday, Boy
Scout Troop 175 from Fac-
toryville had two Senior
Division teams compete in
the annual Klondike Derby
at Goose Pond Scout Res-
ervation.
The Klondike Derby
challenges Scouts from
throughout the region with
events that test teamwork,
strength and outdoor
knowledge.
To prepare, troop mem-
ber practiced first aid, fire
building, ladder building
and knot tying over several
weeks. Once at the Derby,
Scouts are required to car-
ry their own supplies and
rely on teamwork to com-
plete the various challenges
included in the all-day
event.

FACTORYVILLE - The
Factoryville Sewer Author-
ity will have a new truck
this spring if everything
goes as planned.
During last months Fac-
toryville Borough Council
meeting, the board approved
the purchase of a new truck
for the department since the
current truck needs more
repairs than it is worth.
During the meeting held on
Wednesday, Feb. 8, an up-
date was given on the truck.
The board approved the
purchase of a 2012 GMC,
eight foot bed, one ton/3500
pickup in the amount of
$22,000 and further ap-
proved the purchase of a
plow package in the amount
of $4,800 to also be in-
stalled on the truck. The
new truck will be purchased
through a state bid from
COSTAR and is slated to
arrive sometime in the
spring.
The board also addressed
the issue of ongoing bacte-
ria at the current sewer
plant.
Sewer Operator Steve
Swift said, We are still
struggling with some bacte-
ria but we are working on
it. The Department of Envi-
ronmental Protection (DEP)
was here and we passed,
and they confirmed that our
department is doing every-
thing we can to stop the
bacteria.
Solicitor Paul Litwin
questioned if the DEP was
concerned that an area of
the sewer plant needs cov-
ering to stop freezing and,
according to Swift, the top-
ic was discussed but no
decision was made by DEP.
Litwin advised the board
that the engineer and the
contractor should be con-
tacted and updated about
the situation because it
should be covered to stop
the freezing of certain
equipment.
Litwin stated, We are
currently in a time frame
and, once it is gone, we will
not be able to doing any-
thing with the building. I
am advising that you con-
tact the developers and get
them up here to look at the
plant before it is to late.
The current sewer plant is
experiencing freezing due
to winds that cross over it,
causing equipment to freeze
and stop working.
Councilman Bill Edwards
added that he felt the plant
needs covering to protect it
from being exposed to the
weather.
Factoryville Borough to buy new truck
BY SUE REBENSKY
SOUTH ABINGTON -
South Abington Twp.
manager David ONeill
proposed a resolution to
declare Feb. 24 P.E.E.R.
Day at the board of su-
pervisors meeting on
Monday, Feb. 13.
The resolution explained
that three residents at
Willowbrook Assisted Liv-
ing Center had recently
graduated from the Penn-
sylvanias Empowered Ex-
pert Residents, or P.E.E.R.
Project.
The program, conducted
through Serving Seniors
Inc., is geared to em-
power residents to become
advocates within the facil-
ity and to enhance their
ability to self resolve con-
cerns for themselves and
other residents of the fa-
cility.
The resolution named
Joan Glowinski, Regina
Lavetsky and Ruth Hug as
graduates and urged ev-
eryone to commend these
wonderful volunteers.
The resolution was
unanimously approved by
the board. The graduation
ceremony will take place
on P.E.E.R. Day, Feb.
24, at Willowbrook As-
sisted Living Center.
Also discussed at the
meeting was the proposed
re-subdivision of James
Connollys property on
Baker Lane.
According to ONeill,
Connolly requested that
the township vacate the
portion of Baker Lane
attached to his driveway.
Currently, the township
must pass through Con-
nollys driveway to gain
access to the township
storm drain.
Vacating the property
would result in access to
the drain changing to the
bottom of Shady Lane
Road.
As requested by the su-
pervisors, Connolly com-
pleted surveying work of
the property, which
ONeill presented to the
board.
Solicitor Bill Jones sug-
gested the supervisors
draw up a petition to va-
cate the property, which
Connolly would have to
ask his neighbors to sign.
Following signage of the
petition, the township
could vacate the property
and ask Connolly for an
easement, which, accord-
ing to ONeill, he is will-
ing to give.
ONeill also announced
that Jack Davis has for-
mally resigned from the
township planning com-
mission.
According to the letter
read by ONeill, Davis
has moved out of the
township, which prompted
his resignation.
The supervisors unani-
mously accepted the resig-
nation and agreed to work
on a replacement for Da-
vis, with possible candi-
dates to be proposed at
the next board of super-
visors meeting, Feb. 27.
