GLENBURN TWP. - Mark Young of Border
Realty was present at the Glenburn Twp.
board of supervisors meeting Feb. 21 to again
ask for permission from zoning and sewer
authorities to move forward with a proposed
hotel project along routes 6&11 near Trovatos
Meat Market.
Young explained that the planning commis-
sion was on board to approve zoning, but still
needed permission from the Abington Joint
Sewer Authority in regard to installing sewer
lines for the hotel. Solicitor Malcolm Mac-
Gregor explained that he would be meeting
with Mike Donahue from the Joint Sewer
Authority in the near future to discuss the
issue. Young persisted that the matter needed
to be resolved as soon as possible, explaining
that Hilton, the company that would be plac-
ing the hotel, would not wait.
Tom Wicks from the planning commission
suggested to Young that zoning for the prop-
erty be handled the same way it was handled
for Peoples National Bank. Wicks said that
the bank is classified as a C1 property with a
use variance. The use variance only allows the
bank to operate as a bank. MacGregor agreed
that this action would speed up the approval
process, but would be problematic should
there be a wish to convert the hotel into an-
other type of facility. Wicks also explained
that the fire department needed to be contact-
ed about height restrictions for a commercial
property. He said that these issues would like-
ly be resolved and ready for discussion at the
March planning commission meeting.
A township resident at the meeting present-
ed concerns about the proposed property, such
as a possible increase in taxes and influx of
transients. Supervisor Bill Wicks explained
that the project would be a private enter-
prise and that the township would not be
investing any money in the hotel. He also
explained that the cost to stay in the proposed
property (approximately $100 per night)
would help draw individuals who would not
cause trouble. Young reaffirmed this by say-
ing that a study conducted showed that only
30 percent of the property would be utilized
by gas drillers. The rest of the hotel would be
occupied by travelers wishing for the com-
forts of home.
Wicks explained that Glenburn and Dalton
are on track to be the next townships to ex-
pand and develop as more people move into
the Abingtons. However, he added that the
zoning of Glenburn is in place to protect resi-
dents, as well as future businesses. In re-
sponse to more traffic flow, it was explained
that PennDOT would be in charge of conduct-
ing a traffic study, not the township.
Young also confirmed at the meeting that
the proposed property would be a Hilton
Home2 Suites. More detailed information on
this type of property can be found at http://
home2suites1.hilton.com/en_US/ht/index.do.

FACTORYVILLE The
Lackawanna Trail school board
voted 7-1in favor of advising
board director Joseph Strauch to
take the actions necessary to
satisfy the remedy stated in the
Lackawanna Trail Education
Support Professionals Associ-
ation Grievance #01-2012, dur-
ing its meeting Feb. 13.
The grievance was filed in
regard to a Facebook page, PA
Lions, and a website, ltsd.info,
that Strauch began prior to be-
coming a school board member.
The website is not the schools
official website, but offers Lack-
awanna Trail school district
information, other kinds of
educational information, as well
as items of interest.
The board said they could not
go into the specific details of the
grievance in public, but Strauch
did address the three actions he
will take to comply with the
vote.
He agreed to write a letter of
apology to the Lackawanna
Trail webmaster, and he will
remove the Facebook connec-

Rev. Bill Carter has served as
pastor of The First Presbyterian
Church of Clarks Summit for 22
years and he is just getting un-
packed.
This is a congregation of people
who are always nudging their pas-
tor (Rev. Carter) to get more and
more involved in more and more
mission projects that make a con-
structive difference in peoples
lives, said Rev. Carter. The church
is open 24/7 in a crazy and almost
maddening way, he said .
The congregation has sent its
people to Haiti, dispatches teams of
volunteers to the St. Francis of
Assisi Soup Kitchen. The day fol-
lowing the 2011flooding, approxi-
mately16 church members arrived
in West Pittston with buckets in
hand to assist . Rev. Carter said that
the church relies on creative forms
to communicate its faith through a
variety of arts and music programs
that consistently receive grant
funding fromthe county and the
state to produce arts events.
The year 2012 is a year of cele-
bration for Rev. Carter and mem-
bers of the congregation of the
church on the hill. While this is
indeed a Centennial year, he em-
phasized that his church is a
church that doesnt spend much
time at all thinking about its past.
What it cares about is the present,
God, its community, and its people,
and does this in a lot of lively and
engaging ways.
Rev. Carter described the found-

ing congregation of the church by
a missionary family that decided
they wanted to have their own out-
post of faith in this little railroad
town. He added, The congrega-
tion began with a fewdifferent
dynamics. It was that kind of fervor
of global outreach, and at the same
time, it was some of the movers and

his week, 16-year-old Lackawanna
Trail junior Collin Walsh will cele-
brate his fourth birthday.
Walsh was born in 1996 during a leap
year, which consists of 366 days, as op-
posed to a common year, which features
365.
During leap years, a leap day, or an ex-
tra day, is added to the calendar, February
29, Walshs birthday.
Normally well (celebrate) one of the
days before or after (Feb. 28 or March1) but
sometimes well (celebrate) it both days,
said Walsh of what he and his family do
during years when there is not a Feb. 29 on
the calendar.
According to www.timeanddate.com, leap
years are needed to keep our calendar in
alignment with the Earths revolutions
around the sun.
It takes the Earth approximately
365.242199 days to circle once around the
sun.
With only 365 days in the calendar year,
if an extra day was not added every four
years, almost six hours would be lost
from the calendar every year. As a
result, after 100 years, the calendar
would be off

EDITORS NOTES
Editor:
Dr. Stanislaw Burzynskis time has come. A documentary
about his antineo-plastons therapy for cancer treatment has
been nominated as best documentary of 2011. In 1983 the FDA
filed a lawsuit to throw him in jail for 229 years. Nice to know
where your taxpayer dollars are going.
Since then, Dr. Burzynski has won his trial and its great to
hear that his therapy is becoming better known. Who knows,
we may just find a cure for potholes.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 2012 THE ABINGTON JOURNALCLARKS SUMMIT, PA WWW.THEABINGTONJOURNAL.COM PAGE 3A
Its February 29 so happy Leap Year ...and Sadie Hawkins
day. Al Capps wonderful cartoon series where a woman could
chase after the guy she wanted to marry and pop the question
Feb. 29 always made me chuckle. That comic strip was fun to
read, but not everything I read as a kid would ever be labeled as a
fun read.
One of the most memorable short stories I read as a young
teenager was Shirley Jacksons The Lottery. It is my recol-
lection of this story that makes me understand why the trilogy
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins has been a New York
Times best seller and a cant put it down series among young
adults.
So, I have a special alert for all you young adult readers out
there who have devoured any or all of the three books. The
Lackawanna County Library System is hosting an exciting eve-
ning called Hunger Games. Its on Saturday, March 24 from 5:30
-7:30 p.m. at the riverfront Sports Complex ( 5 W. Olive St,
Scranton). It sounds exciting; the library web site indicates there
will be competitions both fun and fierce, light refreshments, and
great prizes (movie passes, Hunger Games merchandise, and
other surprises). The organizers have indicated that some of the
competitions will involve archery, dodge ball, an obstacle course
and theres even going to be an event involving cookie deco-
rating. Admission is simple: just present your library card and a
non -perishable food item. If you dont have a library card, you
can sign up for one that night. To register or find more informa-
tion, go to <albright.org> and click on library event or call
348.3000, ext. 3041.
Now, to focus on the Dalton Community Library. Those of
you who are most observant may already have noticed some-
thing new in the library. If you cant readily identify it, the next
time you come to the library, look on the wall directly behind the
circulation desk. Youll see a brand new electronic bulletin board
which will be fully operational sometime in March. Joe Gib-
bons, the director of public relations for the Lackawanna County
Library System will be placing system- wide announcements on
the board. So if you miss a newspaper article or community note
about a current library event at any one of the county libraries,
youll find it highlighted on this new bulletin board. Keep
watching for the very first announcement!
Gardeners alert! The Friends are beginning to plan their an-
nual Herb Festival which will take place in May. The Friends
will be selling herbs and perennials (in pots and ready to be
planted), will have a presentation focusing on herbs, and will
also be raffling many baskets often filled with garden related
items. The first planning meeting was held Feb. 27 at 5 p.m. If
you are interested in helping with this delightful event, please
give Janet Geeza a call at 563.2014. If you would like to donate a
perennial from your own garden or a basket, wed be delighted to
have you join us.
The remaining library news is not really new, but just a re-
minder of all the events that occur at our library on a weekly or
monthly basis. The pre-schoolers story hour with master story
teller Janet Geeza takes place every Tuesday at 1 p.m. Guest
artists, assisted by Celeste Cali and Janet Geeza work with our
Kreative Kids (4th -6th graders) every Monday afternoon at 4
p.m.
MahJong (Mondays at 10:15 a.m.) and Bridge games (Tues-
days at 10:15 a.m.) continue to attract many players and those
who are anticipating playing Euchre again should contact Janet
Geeza after March 1.
Conscious Conversation participants have began a new ap-
proach to their weekly meetings (Tuesdays at 5 p.m.) - movies
followed by a discussion once the movie has ended. Right now,
they are watching Schindlers List and would be delighted to
have more adults join their group.
And last, but certainly not least, is Saturday Spotlight which
generally meets at the library on the last Saturday of each month
at 10:30 a.m. On February 25, the participants discussed Thomas
Frenchs The Zoo Story: Life in the Garden of Captives which
focuses on the animals and their caretakers in Tampas Lowery
Park Zoo. Dr. Patricia Gross facilitated the discussion. Marchs
book (discussion Saturday, March 24) is The Immortal Life of
Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. Ms. Lacks cancerous tis-
sue cells have been responsible for some of the most important
medical advances in the 20th century, yet her cells were used
without her permission. In addition, her family never learned of
the use of her cells until 20 years after her death. Skloots work
challenges readers to consider the moral issues involved in sci-
entific research and the impact this research has on all of us.
Thats it for this month. Heres hoping I see you at our library!

NEWTON TWP.- At the
February 13 meeting of the
Newton Supervisors, Super-
visor Ron Koldjeski said the
Supervisors are staying in
contact with the towns gas
committee which is progress-
ing well on the issue of gas
drilling.
Currently our gas commit-
tee is reviewing our ordinances
and noting any changes that
have to be done to protect the
town and they are truly doing a
great job. There are a lot of
ordinances and requirements
out there and we need to gather
all the information we can
about the gas drilling industry
and with this formed commit-
tee we are doing just that,
Koldjeski said.
Solicitor Joseph Sileo added,
I am helping to reviews the
gas regulations with the com-
mittee and we are making a lot
of progress, once we get a plan
and a concept together of what
we are seeking to put into place
we will be presenting it to the
Supervisors for their review
and we are making sure we are
covering every aspect that may
come our way.
Sileo said he has further
reviewed the situation on
School Street in regard to a
water runoff. I have reviewed
all the information presented to
me and it is clear to me that the
township does not have any
responsibility for the run off,
but the town should still stay
on top of the situation. We had
someone do construction in
that area and that seems to be
why we have the runoff prob-
lem, and we have been in con-
tact with the property owner
and we are working together to
resolve the problem, he said.
Koldjeski offered an update
on the recreation building pro-
ject, We are currently under-
going a construction project at
our rec center, where we are
putting on a new roof and in-
stalling a new boiler system.
The boiler system project is
near 90 percent complete and
we are waiting for it to be certi-
fied. With the new boiler sys-
tem installed we will be saving
fuel costs and that is a plus for
our township. However, we do
need to look at the rear door of
the building because it is not
closing and the gym door is
also broken, he said. The
board approved a review of the
door repair.
In other business: the town-
ship is working on a subdivi-
sion concerning Maple Drive,
said salt costs are remaining
low due to the lack of bad
weather, tabled the appoint-
ment of John Ray to the rec
committee until further in-
formation is received and
stated that replacement of the
ceiling in the town building
will begin in March.

Range receives extension
BY ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER
Abington Journal Reporter
While 47-year-old North
Abington Township resident
Malcolm L. MacGregor, Esq.,
does not have the exact recipe
or secret to balancing legal
work and family, he said,
you try the best you can to
find a balance. He also cred-
ited his wife, Ann and family
with being incredibly sup-
portive of his legal career,
which took a different path in
2011.
The way it all comes to-
gether, is number one. My
wife, Ann makes it all come
together. She is an incredibly
dedicated spouse and my
children, (Joshua, Lily, Sam
and Isabel) parents, siblings
and my wifes family have all
been incredibly supportive of
my legal career. I am lucky to
have such a great family net-
work that is so supportive of
my legal career.
MacGregor described him-
self as a city kid whose
roots have grown out of the
Green Ridge section of
Scranton. He attended The
University of Scranton and
mid-way through in his junior
year decided to attend law
school as a way to hone in on
his love for writing and
speaking. I knew embarrass-
ingly little about law school-
but I was always fascinated
by the law, said MacGregor.
His journey continued as he
graduated from the Catholic
University of Americas Co-
lumbus School of Law.
Fast forward 22 years later
as MacGregor embarked on a
new journey as a partner in
the law firm of McDonald &
MacGregor, LLC, where he
works with clients who are
victims of injury in what is
known as plaintiffs civil trial
work. He and longtime col-
league and friend, Michael
McDonald opened the firm
on Dec. 8, 2011.
In addition to their new
firm, both MacGregor and
McDonald are active in their
respective communities, as
well as in professional associ-
ations. You can either stand
on the sideline, or not try to
contribute, or you can get in
there to contribute and do the
things you need to do to make
your profession better, said
MacGregor, who acknowl-
edges he is a people person.
Among the many orga-
nizations MacGregor has
been involved with is the
Countryside Conservancy,
which is about preserving
open space and working with
landowners to do that. His
mother-in-law, Kathleen Graff
was one of the founding
members. The area up here
(in the Abingtons) is beautiful
and all of the outdoor oppor-
tunities are great trails and
woods my kids love it. I was
on one of the early (conser-
vancy) boards While he
and Ann were involved with
the annual conservancy auc-
tion, admittedly, according to
MacGregor, The pie eating
contest (at the annual tailgate
picnic) was a major hit.
He said, I was one of the
people they looked to for fun
at different events. The tail-
gate picnic is one of my fa-
vorite eventsThose kids
would bury their faces in the
pies. While we were watching
our waistlines, they (the kids)
were diving into banana
cream and chocolate pies.
MacGregor has been the
solicitor of Glenburn Town-
ship since 1995 and has
served through a number of
different boards. He views his
work with the township as
part of the public service
that you give back to the com-
munity. In his role as solic-
itor, he provides counsel to
the elected board on decisions
ranging from legal to practi-
cal items that come before
them. They need guidance
and help and they look to me
for it, and I always try to do
the best I can to give them
good legal advice. I also take
a lot of pride in the fact that
its the taxpayer dollar, so I try
to keep them free of litigation
and things that would bog
down their purpose of making
Glenburn or Clarks Summi-
ta better place to live. He
was also a solicitor for Clarks
Summit Borough and North
Abington Township.
One of the projects Mac-
Gregor has worked on as
solicitor is the ongoing case
against Precision Plating,
which was located at 198
Ackerly Road, and released
large amounts of hexavalent
chromium that can be harm-
ful to humans. Thats not an
issue that can or should be
over immediately. I think the
boards in Glenburn have done
a very good job of being
patient when it wasnt easy to
be patient, so they could find
out the fullest extent of the
contamination and the best
remedies to improve it.
In March, MacGregor will
participate in the Mock
Trial program with The
Commonwealth Medical
College (TCMC) and the
Lackawanna Bar Association.
The event, which is sponsored
by the Lackawanna Bar Foun-
dation, is designed to bring
together the legal and medical
communities, and will assist
medical students in their un-
derstanding of medical-legal
issues. Outside of the legal
arena, he is an outdoorsman
and a sports fanatic. People
know I am a maniacal sports
fan. Ive translated that love
of sports to my kids. Mac-
Gregor has been active for
many years with his children
in Abington youth sports as a
basketball Commissioner and
Coach, as well as soccer
coach. He currently helps
coach his daughter, Isabels,
Abington Youth Basketball
League and girls All-Star
teams and his son, Sams
Catholic 8th Grade boys
league Our Lady of Snows
Championship team.

HONOR ROLL
SCOTT TOWNSHIP- The
Lakeland School Board ap-
proved the resolution to share
and support interest in the
Lackawanna County Area
Vocational Technical School
Career located at 3201 Rock-
well Ave., Scranton during its
meeting held Feb. 15.
The board did state that its
approval was depended on
the approval of the other
schools involved, which in-
clude Carbondale Area, Dun-
more, Forest City Regional,
Mid-Valley, North Pocono,
Riverside, Scranton and Val-
ley View.
If the districts approve the
resolution they are agreeing
to support the building in-
frastructure renovations, re-
pair and replacement of elec-
trical and mechanical sys-
tems, and the purchase of
equipment for the instruc-
tional purposes.
The district is responsible
for a portion of the repairs
and that figure is based on
the districts number of stu-
dents . Career Technology is
very important to our stu-
dents, and Career Technology
is becoming more and more
popular with our students
and we need to support it
whenever we can, said
board president Mary Retz-
bach.
In other business, the
board agreed that the roof
needs to be replaced and
agreed to research costs and
repair time. The board
agreed to approve the agree-
ment proposal between the
district and Burkavage De-
sign Proposal of a district-
wide update in an amount
not to exceed $9,500.

tion PA Lions.
While I do not believe that
the board is authorized to direct
an individual board member to
take any specific action, I wish
to demonstrate my goodwill
and consideration for the bet-
terment of the school district by
voluntarily complying to the
full legal and physical extent
possible, said Strauch.
Strauch also agreed to re-
quest that the owner of the
website ltsd.info, Cathy
Strauch, shut the site down.
The site is currently up and
running and Cathy said she has
no plans of shutting it down, as
it has become a useful tool for
at least one parent in the dis-
trict.
Christy Clarke, a parent of
Lackawanna Trail students, was
in attendance at the meeting on
Feb. 13, and asked board mem-
bers, Have any of you taken
the time to go to Mr. Strauchs
website and look at the in-
formation, the wealth of in-
formation?
I personally go to that web-
site more than the school web-
site for a number of reasons.
One of which, half of the links
of the school website dont
even work.
She also explained that the
schools official website links
and athletic postings are out-
dated, while Strauchs website
provides updated information
and algebra help.
You have no idea the in-
formation youre taking away
from our kids by ruining this
website, said Clarke. My kids
go to this website daily.
In other business, Lackawan-
na Trail elementary principal
Tania Stoker announced that
Wyoming County United Way
hosted a coloring contest for
students.
Students colored a duck for
the summer duck derby in
Tunkhannock, said Stoker.
Second-grade student Owen
Lisk won the contest, and will
be a duck mascot for the derby.
Second grade student Logan
Wentz won second place and

kilter by approximately 24 days.
It might seem unusual to some
to only have a birthday on the
calendar once every few years.
But Walsh said when growing up
he never gave it much thought.
I was just used to it, said
Walsh. My parents told me that
my birthday only came every four
years. At first I was confused I
kept asking them about it and
they were just like Thats just
how it happens.
Even though it was never of
concern to Walsh, he said that
when Feb. 29 appears on the cal-
endar it gives him a little more of
a reason to celebrate.
Most of the time well cele-
brate more than when it happens,
said Walsh.
Walsh resides in Fleetville with
his parents Joe and Sarah Walsh.
He said he enjoys playing soccer,
Xbox and skateboarding. He is
currently studying to take the test
for his Drivers license Learners
permit.
I can get my permit (this year).
Its a good thing I dont have to
wait until Im 16 in leap years for
that.Id be 64, joked Walsh.

According to church histori-
ans, John Pittman and Don
Keen, who are compiling in-
formation as part of an ongoing
history project using church
documents and memorabilia, on
August 3, 1911, Margaret Gib-
bons invited several women
fromthe Clarks Summit com-
munity to her home for the
express purpose of organizing a
Christian missionary outreach.
Approximately one year later on
Aug. 23, 1912, a organization
called the Dorcas (Greek for
Tabitha) Society, was formed to
look into the possibilities of
starting a church. Anna Cole-
man became president. These
two womens groups soon reac-
hed100 members who ap-
proached the Presbytery in
Towanda, who requested ap-
proval to proceed with plans for
a newPresbyterian Church in
Clarks Summit.
gramknown as The Year of the
Bible, which began in early
January. Currently, 91people
have accepted the challenge to
read the entire bible in one year.
Linda Young, Centennial
co-chair, said regarding the Year
of the Bible, Fromthe very
beginning, we have wanted this
Centennial Celebration to be
less about the past, more about
the present and most about the
future.
Centennial Committee mem-

Bill Carter, pastor; Don Keen,

The first congregational
meeting was held October 11,
1912 and there were105 charter
members. The Nickelette Build-
ing, located in the vicinity of the
former Comerford Theater,
which today houses the Citizens
Plaza, served as a temporary
place of worship until a perma-
nent church could be built. At a
meeting of the congregation
Nov. 12, 1912, two brothers,
Nelson N. Nichols and George
H. Nichols donated a piece of
land on the east side of South
State Street, formerly known as
Northern Electric Blvd. They
offered to sell the church an
adjacent lot for $500. The Dor-
cas Society purchased and pre-
sented it to the Church. Approx-
imately one year later, on Aug.
13, 1913, to get away fromthe
dust and noise of the trains, the
lots were exchanged for two
larger parcels on School Street.
The church was formed at a
time when there was no Presby-
terian church in the Abingtons,
according to Keen. One of the
ways members are celebrating
the centennial is through a pro-

Recently, local hiking au-
thor and Wyoming County
District Attorney Jeff Mitch-
ell took us on an adventure
through photos of the nat-
ural beauty of northeastern
Pennsylvania. More than 150
children and adults came out
to find out more about the
hiking trails that are avail-
able for us to explore
throughout the region. The
presentation has me interest-
ed in returning to Ricketts
Glen State Park during the
summer to hike its magnif-
icent waterfall trails. At the
presentation, Jeff made his
book Hiking the Endless
Mountains available for sale
and they sold out. We would
like to thank Jeff for gener-
ously donating his time and
book proceeds to the theater.
The Dietrich will be host-
ing another free event March
10 from 9 a.m. to noon.

disease and documents per-
sonal accounts of individuals
whose lives have been af-
fected by it. Dr. Daniel
Cameron, M.D., M.P.H, will
conduct a Q & A session
following the movie. This
event has been sponsored by
the Endless Mountains Lyme
Disease Support Group. I
am definitely interested in
learning more about the
diagnosis, prognosis, treat-
ment and prevention of the
disease. All are welcome to
attend. For more information

Six students at Bap-
tist Bible College are
practicing the pronunciations of
several Yiddish phrases including
this one, which translates, May God
protect us fromall evil and may He
protect our souls. The language is
scattered throughout the script of
their upcoming play, AShayna
Maidel. The title is another Yiddish
phrase, which translates a pretty
girl, referring to an inner beauty.
The play is written by Barbara
Lebow, and will be directed by BBC
Professor Brian Maxwell March1, 2
and 3 in the Phelps Student Center at
7:30 p.m. It will also include original
music composed by Seth Mitchell
and performed on piano by Jeremy
Kemmerer, both former Baptist
Bible College students.
The story is of two sisters, one
who survived Nazi concentration
camps during the Holocaust and the
other who was raised as an Amer-
ican, reunited after being separated
for 20 years. Maxwell described it as
a meaningful, historically relevant
story about familial love and the
power of hope.
He said he chose the piece partly
because it allowed his students to
dig deep into character develop-
ment.
I have been blessed to collaborate
with hard-working, talented students
who are willing to continue digging
deeper, always looking for more,
said Maxwell.
The two sisters, Rose Weiss and
Lusia Weiss Pechenik, will be played
by Lennae Warren, an online student
who lives on campus with her hus-
band James, and Hannah Sayre, a
senior majoring in Communications
Drama.
Warren said what she likes most
about the play is acting as sisters
with Sayre, her best friend since
childhood. It hardly requires any
acting, she said.
Warren also played Kitty Verdun
in Charleys Aunt at the college
and said she chose to try out for A
Shayna Maidel because she loves
the beauty of the story and the chal-
lenge the role holds in capturing
many different emotions.
Sayre has been involved in seven
different productions at the college
in the past, and said she wanted to be
in this one because of the beauty of
the script and the delicacy and sacred
quality of the subject matter.
I have found this experience
beautiful yet haunting, Sayre said.
I have become protective of the
story and the characters. This is a
part of history that is slowly becom-
ing nothing more than a page in our
history books. While the characters
we portray are fictional, the history
of the situation is real. Having the
chance to honor those who were
[the characters in the story] is a privi-
lege.
It was Sayres interest in AShay-
na Maidel that initially prompted
her roommate, Rachel Frazier, a
senior majoring in Sacred Music, to
try out for the play, which will be the
first she has taken part in at the col-
lege. Frazier said Sayre described the
play to her shortly before tryouts,
and she was so intrigued, she decided
to come along.
I have not regretted that deci-
sion, she said.
Frazier will play the role of Hanna,
a childhood friend of Lusias who
experienced the Holocaust with her.
Her character appears throughout the
play in flashbacks Lusia has of her.
Collis Bryant, a junior majoring in
Drama, will play the role of Duvid,
Lusias husband who was arrested
six years before and hasnt seen his
wife since.
Bryant said he ran the lights for
The Boys Next Door last semester,
and enjoys acting and would like to
pursue it for the glory and honor of
God.
This has been a very challenging
role for me in more ways than one,
he said, and Dr. Maxwell, along
with the rest of the cast, has been
very encouraging to me fromthe
very beginning.
Chad Finke, a sophomore major-
ing in Pastoral Ministries, will play
the role of Mordechai Weiss, and
also played Norman Bulansky last
semester in The Boys Next Door.
In his biography in the programfor
AShayna Maidel, Finke thanked
the cast of the play for always mak-
ing himfeel welcome, the gentle-
men at Elan Gardens for helping
the cast with their Yiddish, and Jesus
for his redemption and life.
Traci Thompson, a junior major-
ing in Communications Drama, has
acted in five previous productions at
BBCand will play the role of Mama.
She described her character as a
steady, loving-spirited woman whose
strong faith in God is woven into her
every thought and action.
Acting out the scenes has never
gotten old, Thompson said. We
have been rehearsing all semester
and I find myself living and acting
the scenes as if it were the first time.
The characters and script are so
beautifully crafted that I find it easy
to keep the scenes fresh and alive.
Maxwell said he believes those
who attend each performance of A
Shayna Maidel will experience an
enjoyable, entertaining, moving and
meaningful evening.
Ticket information can be ob-
tained by calling the BBCbox office
at 585.9000.

MUST
see!
Ever since I first learned to
read, books have been the fri-
gates on which Ive embarked
to find wonderful, sometimes
life-changing, adventures.
Usually, I have no trouble
finding a book to talk about in
this column, but with this Feb-
ruarys deadline fast approach-
ing, not a single book Id read
recently had captured my inter-
est enough to make me want to
share with you. I was getting a
little desperate, but my daugh-
ter called and recommended a
novel by Sara Levine, one of
her colleagues at the School of
the Art Institute of Chicago,
called Treasure Island!!! .
The book arrived on Valen-
tines Day, andas I readthe first
paragraph, a tiny breeze made
the sails of my imaginary craft
flutter. What could be more fit-
ting, for a novel that sends a
reader off on a voyage of horri-
fied delight, than one in which
a nameless 25-year-old slacker
narrator becomes obsessed by
Robert Louis Stevensons clas-
sic, Treasure Island? Our
heroine and I use that term
very, very loosely finds her-
self becalmed in a meaningless
existence. Although she is a
college graduate, she has held
only a series of brainless, mini-
mum-wage jobs, and is cur-
rently a part-time assistant at
The Pet Library, .
When Adrianna, our narra-
tors sister, forgetfully leaves
some library books at the lat-
ters apartment, our gal begins
to read Treasure Island, and
the character of young Jim
Hawkins becomes her inspira-
tion. She compares her life to
his, and comes up with the
metaphor that will urge her to
change her life.
If life were a sea adventure,
I know: I wouldnt be a sailor,
pirate, or cabin boy but more
likelya barnacle clingingtothe
side of the ship, she realizes.
As she tells her best friend, Re-
na, she wants to discover how
she can become a hero in my
own life. She write out a list of
the qualities she most admires
in Jim Hawkins: boldness,
resolution, independence, and
horn-blowing. Deciding that
these are the core values of
the book, she resolves to em-
ulate them and begins to make
changes in her life.
At this point, you might be
thinking that Treasure Is-
land!!! is the feel-good story
of howa youngwomanevolves
from passivity to positive ac-
tion, but no its not that sim-
ple, predictable or boring. In a
dazzling spoof of the standard
self-help process, the narrator
takes action all right, but her
choices are self-serving or
wrong-headed at best and de-
structive and manipulative at
worst. Boldness is her first
goal, so she steals a big chunk
of money from the Pet Library
and uses it to buy a Yellow-
naped Amazon parrot named
Little Richard, intending to use
him to beef up the librarys
humdrum collection. She
plans to teach Richard to
squawk not Pieces of eight,
but Steer the boat, girlfriend!
the librarys owner is not
amused, and although our girl
deludes herself into thinking
that she has acted boldly by
walking away from the library
with Richard in tow, but she
has, of course, been fired.
Out of a job and broke, she
moves into her boyfriends
apartment, conveniently for-
getting that this was her idea,
not his. Lars is a sweet, com-
passionate, logical young man,
and they really seemto care for
one another, so all goes well for
a while, but then she begins
spending Lars money on her-
self, and eventually, he asks her
to leave. She has nowhere to go
but home and moves in with
her parents and her sister, who
has also moved back home be-
cause she cant afford to live
alone either.
Before you can say Shiver
me timbers, our narrator is
trying for the second of Jim
Hawkins traits: being reso-
lute. Her determination to dis-
cover Adriannas secret boy-
friend creates a domestic tem-
pest that destroys her sisters
happiness and threatens to cap-
size her parents marriage.
The thing is, the author
seems to dare you to dislike
this girl, and you want to hate
her but you cant. Yes, she
does terrible things, and yes,
she makes disastrous, selfish
choices, and yes, she never
until the novels satisfying con-
clusion seems to have a clue
that she is the problem, but
shes so darn funny and outra-
geous and awful that you cant
help but like her in a perverse
sort of way.
In addition to serving up a
hearty helping of interesting
and beautifully rendered char-
acters, she infuses the novel
with references to contempo-
rary culture, and gives us a
writers voice that is witty, sure,
and blazingly original. Youll
barrel through this fast-paced
book in a couple of hours be-
cause you wont be able to put
it down. Then youll want to
flip back to page one and im-
mediately start reading it again
because, even though it blows
along like a gale-force wind, it
is not a simple, slight, or pre-
dictable book. Between bouts
of laughter and gasps of dis-
may, Treasure Island !!!
makes you think.
On my second reading, I
honed in on a conversation the
narrator has with Beverly
Flowers, the last in a long line
of therapists shes seen over the
years. Beverly is a Personal
Healer, a sort of New-Agey
massage therapist who tries to
help our heroine rid herself of
her obsession with Jim Haw-
kins. Beverly says that Long
JohnSilver, not Hawkins, is the
novels center, and describes
him: Charismatic personality,
repellant morally speaking,
and its amazing how he gets
around on that one leg, she
says.
Yikes! Suddenly I realized
that Beverly is describing our
narrator to a tee. Our girl may
not have a wooden leg, but she
is handicapped by her preoccu-
pation with herself and her de-
nial of what that self has be-
come. She claims tohave noin-
terest in Treasure Islands pi-
rates, but ironically, it turns out
that she is the pirate in Levines
story an outlaw who, in at-
tempting to transform herself
into a bold, resolute, independ-
ent, horn-blowing woman,
eventually discovers that the X
that marks the spot on her per-
sonal treasure map is near at
hand, requiring only a short
drive in the familys Taurus to
find.

SCRANTON- The Lakeland Chiefs boys
basketball team had not won a district playoff
game since 1984.
This years squad was aware of the schools
long drought and determined to end it.
Led by pressure defense and balanced scor-
ing, Lakeland defeated Hanover Area, 72-58,
in a District 2 Class AA first-round game Feb.
25 at the Lackawanna College Student Union.
The guys knew the situation we were in,
(Lakeland) had not been in the district play-
offs since 1984, Lakeland head coach Dave
Rosenkrans said. Im happy for them. We
didnt play our best basketball today and still
pulled out a win. The kids have worked hard
all year. Its nice to see that their hard work is
paying off.
The Chiefs created seven steals and out-
scored the Hawkeyes 15-3 in the last four
minutes of the first quarter to take a com-
manding 22-9 lead.
Hanover Area answered with a run of its
own in the second quarter, with an 8-1 spurt
to end the first half, making the score 35-31.
Hawkeyes point guard Jeorge Colon scored
10 of his 15 points during the quarter to lead
the rally.
Weve been trying to reiterate all season to
the kids: even though you get up, you have to
stay up, Rosenkrans said. We went back
into a lackadaisical type of defense and they
clawed their way back in the game.
After Hanover Area (9-14) cut Lakelands
lead to 44-43 with 2:21 left in the third quar-
ter, Alex Filarsky and Eric Grabowski nailed
back-to-back 3-pointers to put the Chiefs back
up by 7. Grabowski scored nine of his game-
high 22 points in the quarter. The junior also
contributed eight assists and three steals.
Lakelands Eric Grabowski drives past Hanover
Areas Martin Steve. The junior scored 22 points.

SHAPE UP WITH SIMRELL a weekly fitness training series
This technique is part of the Macarra BJJ PA Self Defense Series, presented by
instructors James Simrell and David Walsh, Defense for Haymaker Punch.
Goal: When working with partner, work on the fundamentals of the technique. You
want to learn the technique without using strength.
Repetitions: 20 times each side.
Feel great, look great
and live longer.
Step1: The attacker in the blue throws a
right haymaker punch. Defense steps
forward with the right foot keeping the left
arm extended out straight deflecting the
punch. On the defense, the head and chin
should be tucked behind the left arm that
is extended.
ABINGTON JOURNAL/DON MCGLYNN
Step 2: The defender should slip his
right hand under the left armpit of the
attacker, grasping the center of the
back.
Step 3: The left hand of the defender
slides down the arm of the attacker
and grips his right tricep. With a
slight bend in the defenders knees,
he should pivot on the toes of the left
foot, moving hips counter-clockwise
into the attackers abdomen. Do not
lose contact. The attacker has now
committed himself to be thrown.
District 2 will be well represented
when the 2012 PSFCA (Pennsylva-
nia Scholastic Football Coaches
Association) East-West All-Star
game kicks off May 6, at Gateway
High School in Monroeville, a sub-
urb near Pittsburgh.
Among the 34 players chosen for
the East team, seven are from Dis-
trict 2- DeVaughn Chollette, line-
backer, West Scranton High School;
JJ Fives, linebacker, Scranton Prep;
Mike Galantini, defensive tackle,
Valley View High School; Joe Do-
lan, offensive lineman, Abington
Heights High School; Nick Bartoli,
offensive lineman, Wyoming Area
High School; Joe Parsnik, Coughlin
High School and Tony Morgante,
offensive lineman, Crestwood High
School.
Morgante will not be playing in
the game due to the fact that a player
is only allowed to participate in two
all-star games that are played during
the school year prior to graduation.
Morgante has played in the UNICO
Game and The Chesapeake Bowl
already this year.
Were very fortunate this year
that District 2 has great representa-
tion , said Abington Heights High
School head coach Joe Repshis.

Step 4: Now with 3 movements working
together, extend legs upward. Look over
your left shoulder and pull the attacker
up and over your right shoulder. Throwing
the attacker to the ground, place your
right knee into his chest and extend your
left leg out straight.

Lackawanna Trail High
School athletes Marvess Ro-
siak and Eric Laytos and Val-
ley Views Mike Galantini
won titles Saturday night, Feb.
25, in the District 2 Class AA
Wrestling Championships at
Lake-Lehman High School.
Laytos, a 2010 state cham-
pion, and Galantini each re-
peated as district champions.
Rosiak squeezed out a 1-0
victory over Western Waynes
Garrett Enslin at 170 pounds.
Laytos posted a 12-4 major
decision over Western
Waynes Matt Rosensweet at
220.
Galantini pinned Lackawan-
na Trails Ben Lehman in 3:39
in the 285-pound bout to close
the night.
Host Lake-Lehman edged
rival Dallas, 182.5-181.5, for
the team championship.
Lackawanna Trail was fifth
with 118 points. Valley View
was eighth and Scranton Prep
was 13th out of 14 teams.
Blue Ridges Zach Edwards
joined Rosiak, Laytos and
Galantini as the only cham-
pions from the Lackawanna
League.
Lehman, along with any
wrestler who finished in the
top three in his weight class,
qualified for a berth in next
weekends Northeast Regional
at Williamsport.
Caleb Darling gave Lacka-
wanna Trail a fourth regional
qualifier when he beat Valley
Views Troy Uhrin, 5-3, in
overtime in the 182-pound
consolation final to take third
place.
Valley Views Matt Judge
(126) and Michael Cipilewski
(152), Scranton Preps Patrick
Creedon (120) and Lackawan-
na Trails Billy Lee (132) set-
tled for fourth place.
Scrantons Mark Granahan
and West Scrantons Tom
Hendry captured titles at the
District 2 Class AAA Wres-
tling Championships Saturday
night at Hazleton Area High
School.
Granahan repeated as cham-
pion, posting the only tech-
nical fall of the final round
when he beat Honesdales
Zach Smith, 16-0, in 3:28 at
160 pounds.
Hendry won the 120-pound
title with a 3-0 decision over
Delaware Valleys Frank Ca-
rozza.
Lackawanna League Divi-
sion 1 champion Delaware
Valley dominated on the way
to the highest winning score
in Class AAA tournament
history.
The Warriors won the title
with 239 points, 107 ahead of
second-place Wyoming Valley
West.
Delaware Valley had final-
ists in half of the 14 weight
classes, winning four titles.
Scranton was eighth, Abing-
ton Heights 10th and West
Scranton 11th in the 13-team
field.
C.J. Palmer of Delaware
Valley, who beat Kyle Krasav-
age of Wyoming Valley West,
9-7, at 126 pounds, was
named Outstanding Wrestler.
Delaware Valleys Lou De-
Lauro was named Coach of
the Year.
Paul Fox of West Scranton
received the Sportsmanship
Award from the Lackawanna
Chapter of officials.
Michael Carr of Abington
Heights reached the 152-
pound final where he lost,
11-6, to Matt Hammerstone of
Crestwood to finish third.
Abington Heights head
coach Chris Calder thinks
with a few tweaks, Carr has to
potential to make a run at the
state tournament.
His focus this week is go-
ing to be opening up and hav-
ing a more offensive and re-
laxed mentality, Calder said.
Instead of sitting on a lead,
he has to continue to build the
lead by being open and ag-
gressive. Hes one of the lead-
ers in the district in wins. Our
hopes are for him to be a state
qualifier. The more exposure
you get guys earlier on, the
more relaxed they become.
Carr (36-5) has a bye in the
first round of regionals.
The top four in each weight
class reached the Northeast
Regional next weekend in
Bethlehem.
Greg Pascale of Abington
Heights (106) and Joe Baress
of West Scranton (195) fin-
ished third.
He had an outstanding
performance at districts,
Calder said. His goal coming
into the year was to be a re-
gional qualifier and thats
come true. Whatever he does
at regionals is a bonus. Hes
one of our most improved
wrestlers.
Pascale (28-13) will grapple
with Northamptons Michael
Scheetz (10-8) in the first
round of regionals.
Scrantons James McNally
(138) and Shane McTiernan
(152) and Dylan Berardelli of
Abington Heights (285) were
fourth.
The second-year coach was
critical of Berardelli, but be-
lieves he has the talent to
advance to states with the
right mindset.
His performance has been
OK, a C- at best right now,
Calder said. Hes not wres-
tling to his potential. I know
hes ready to break out, you
can see it. Its just a matter of
confidence. He needs to open
up and allow himself to wres-
tle at a higher level of compe-
tition and not hold back.
Berardelli (25-10) will face
off against Shikellamys Dan
Karpinski (14-13) in the first
round of regionals.
The fifth-place finishers
included Nick Senuk of
Abington Heights at 126, Ni-
yaz Bakradze of Scranton at
132 and Kameron Van Wert of
West Scranton at 285.
Stephen Caple (106) and
Jon Kobrynich (152) of West
Scranton; James Fayocavitz
(113), Matthew Carr (132) and
Patrick Kearney (220) of
Abington Heights and Dan
Stuckart (170) of Scranton
finished sixth.

SEMIFINALS
To have seven players se-
lected and recognizedsays
something about the type of
players that are coming out of
our leagues and our districts .
Repshis was named an as-
sistant coach for the East team
in 2007, and was named head
coach this year.
The opportunity to coach
some of the finest football
players in Pennsylvania, its a
great honor and privilege,
said Repshis.
The PSFCA East-West All-
Star Game was established in
2001 to give some of the top
high school football players in
the state a chance to showcase
their talents on a larger stage.
After the top 34 players are
picked for the Big 33 Game,
which puts a team from Penn-
sylvania against a team from
Ohio, the next 68 players, 34
from the East and 34 from the
West, are invited to play in the
East-West All-Star Game. The
game took a one-year hiatus
in 2011, but is back this year.
This is the 11th game in the
series of the East-West All
Star Game, and players that
have played in the past have
gone on to have very success-
ful careers in various levels of
college football and some
have even played professional-
ly, said Repshis.
Repshis will have five prac-
tices to get to know his team,
two April 22, two April 29
and one May 5, but there will
be at least one player hes
familiar with. Dolan, an
Abington Heights senior from
Ransom, has been selected for
the team.
Its a big honor. I know its
a big game and even being
considered was an honor, and
being picked was just a dream
come true, said Dolan.
Like a majority of the play-
ers in the game, Dolan, the
son of Joe and Terry Dolan,
will continue his football ca-
reer in college playing for
Shippensburg University in
the fall, but he said hes happy
to have one more chance to
play for his high school coach.
Hes a great coach, hes
one of the best coaches in the
areaand he helped me so
much. He helped me get to
where Im going to be next
year, said Dolan.
Joining Repshis on the side-
lines will be Lackawanna
Trail head coach Steve Jervis,
who was selected as an assist-
ant coach this year.
Kickoff is scheduled for 2
p.m. May 6, at Gateway High
School in Monroeville.

Filarsky finished the game
with 14 points, including four
3-pointers and four steals.
I just started hitting 3s,
Filarsky said. Thats my place
on this team.
The Hawkeyes took a one-
point lead on a Shaquille Rolle
3-pointer with 6:48 left in the
fourth quarter. Just 11 seconds
later, Grabowski answered with
a 3-pointer on a fast break.
We had a huge lead, but
they came back on us, Gra-
bowski said. We just wanted
to stay a safe distance ahead of
them. I was hoping for that
shot in transition and got it to
go.
From that point on, Lakeland
outscored Hanover Area 15-3
to seal the victory.
Lakelands Kyle Kiehart
scored eight of his 19 points in
the fourth quarter and the
Chiefs made eight of their 11
free throws in the quarter.
Lakeland (18-8) will play
Meyers (21-2) tonight at 7:45

Lakelands Alex Filarsky finished
with 14 points in Lakelands win
