LACKAWANNA COUNTY-
Lackawanna County Commis-
sioner Patrick OMalley intro-
duced on Nov. 14 a resolution
that, if adopted, will require all
non -union employees of the
county to be residents of the
county.
According to a press release
from the commissioners office,
there are a total of about 50
county employees who live out-
side those boundaries.
The effect of this residency
resolution will lead to additional
real estate taxes, the release
states. The income generated by
the monies will be spent in our
county to businesses, and in turn
will help our economy.
OMalley explained he feels the
economy will grow as a result of
the little things: workers stopping
for coffee, cigarettes or gas on
the way to work and buying their
groceries at in-county stores.
He said although the proposed
resolution is only in its early
stages at this point, his hope is
that it will be finalized and voted
on sometime between now and
January. He said he is following
up a part of his campaign plat-
form and it is important to him.
He said he would like to even-
tually bring it into union contract
negotiations.
Although OMalley is unsure at
this time whether the resolution
will affect current employees who
live out of county, or only those
hired in the future, he said his
plan is to give those hired in the
future six months after starting
the job to move into the county.
He said if it does include current
workers, they will likely have one
year to relocate.

CLARKS SUMMIT - Maitri
and Pari Pancholy will demon-
strate the process of making
Rangoli (sand art) at The
Abington Community Library
host a Diwali Celebration Dec.
8. The sisters have been making
sand art since kindergarten.
Maitri Pancholy enjoys making
peacocks, while Pari prefers
flower designs. The cost for
guests to make a design will be
$1.
The event, from 4 to 6 p.m.,
will feature ethnic refreshments
including a variety of breads,
entrees, and desserts from all
over India. Different types of
music, including vocal music,
classical dance, classical and
current Bollywood tunes will
highlight the day. The cost for
adults will be $5. Refreshments
will be free for children.
According to Dr. Dipti Pan-
choly, event organizer, Rangoli
has a story to tell. In history,
once it was known that a king
was defeated, everyone cele-
brated by decorating their home
using special symbols through
elaborate sand art.
The library is like a temple
of learning, she said. We
thought it would be a good
place to do the event.
Maitri Pancholy thinks the
Ninth-grader Nikitha creates a henna design on the arm of Pari Pancho-
ly. Both girls will participate in the Diwali Celebration Dec. 8 at the
Abington Community Library.

WAVERLY - Making
changes to your diet ulti-
mately involves looking at
what you currently eat,
according to Janet Dunn-
Davenport, healthy cooking
instructor and life coach.
For example, when making
a salad, have you considered
substituting field greens,
escarole, spinach or arugula
for iceberg lettuce which is
without much nutritional
value? Eating more greens
rich in Vitamin A and Beta
Carotene, is only part of
Dunn-Davenports overall
strategy to include healthier
wholesome choices in our
diets.
I can have control over
my health by simply watch-
ing what Im eating and
reducing some thingsBe a
scientist and explore. I hope
to inspire people to eat bet-
ter, to live better and have
more joy in our life, she
said. One way to achieve is
by adding more whole
grains and greens in your
life. said Dunn-Davenport,

or many of the adults in attendance at the Model
Trains Through the Ages event at Steamtown Na-
tional Historic site Nov. 23 through 25 came an op-
portunity to reminisce about the good old days, when tiny
railroad tracks circled the Christmas trees in their homes.
And for many of the children staring wide-eyed at the
working models on display came a time of new discovery
of an old tradition nurtured by their grandparents and per-
haps parents.

(EPA) officials Nov. 20 demon-
strated a newonline database
that displays chromiumpollu-
tion levels in the area around
the former Precision National
Plating site on Ackerly Road.
This is a tool being used by
the public to get a better under-
standing of the work weve
done over the years, said Da-
vid Polish, EPAcommunity
involvement coordinator.
The EPAdatabase, which is
one of only a fewin the nation,
represents a newchapter in the
history of combating hexava-
lent chromiumcontamination
around the site. The chromium
leached into the environment
during operations at the plant,
which closed its doors in1999.
Hexavalent chromiumis a
particularly toxic formof the
element chromium. The chem-
ical has various types of indus-
trial applications, but is known
to cause cancer in humans.
The newdatabase, or data

EDITORS NOTE
Dear Editor:
Nature has again tested
communities in many re-
gions served by Frontier
Communications. The brutal
effects of Hurricane Sandy
have taken lives, destroyed
property and disrupted life
and commerce across much
of the eastern United
States. The men and wom-
en of Frontier Communi-
cations join the nation in
supporting recovery efforts.
I want to thank our de-
voted employees who
worked around the clock to
keep our facilities oper-
ating, even during pro-
longed commercial power
outages. Our technicians
have struggled through
flooding and downed trees
to deploy generators and
backup batteries to keep
telecommunication facilities
functioning. They have used
chainsaws to gain access to
our facilities to repair dam-
aged and severed fiber and
telecommunications lines.
They have risked their per-
sonal well-being and left
their families in their ef-
forts to serve all our cus-
tomers, especially critical
facilities such as 911 emer-
gency centers and hospitals.
They are doing all they can
to restore telecommunica-
tions service as fast as pos-
sible.
I appreciate our call cen-
ter representatives, who
worked non-stop with
customers to coordinate
response efforts. They
have spoken to thou-
sands who have experi-
enced personal loss and
ongoing danger. They
have heard your stories
and truly understand the
magnitude of this histor-
ic storm. They live in
the communities Frontier
serves and are feeling
feel the effects of Sandy
firsthand.
Last, but certainly not
least, I thank our cus-
tomers for their under-
standing and patience
during this difficult
time. Our customers are
our inspiration for in-
novation and the reason
we constantly strive to
create products and ser-
vices that meet their
changing needs. Custom-
ers are at the center of
all we do.

RANSOMTWP. - Conversa-
tion regarding unpaid bills alleg-
edly owed to RansomTownship
by RansomRecreational Shoot-
ing Sports, LLC(RRSS) contin-
ued at the township Planning
Commission meeting Nov. 19.
According to the township,
the business owes money for
engineering services regarding a
rifle development planned for
1500 RansomRoad. For an
unspecified reason, however,
invoices were not sent to the
developer until they were sever-
al months outstanding. After
receiving them, RRSSManager
AndrewMassimilian expressed
doubt that the full amount re-
quested was legitimately owed.
It was noted at the Nov. 9
meeting that Massimilian, who
was present, submitted a check
for a portion of the fees, along
with a letter including a list of
fees he is contesting.
The letter, which was read
aloud, stated the contested
portion of the fees represents
services not reimbursable by the
developer under the Pennsylva-
nia Municipal Planning Code
and include, but are not limited
to, charges for services unnec-
essary to reviewthe plans, bill-
ing irregularities, (e.g. billing
both the township and RRSS
for the same meeting), charges
for meetings where RRSSplans
were not being discussed by the
engineer, charges for mistakes
made by the engineer, charges
for services unrelated to the
engineering.
The letter then requests a
reviewand repeal of those fees.
It was noted the contested fees
total close to $6,000.
Planning Commission At-
torney Donna DeVita informed
Massimilian he will need to
submit a more detailed list of
what he is contesting and why.
He replied he has more details
and will submit thempromptly.
It was noted the current devel-
opment plan is set to expire Dec.
26, and the next meeting is Dec.
17.
Massimilian made a request
for an extension on the plans at
the previous months Planning
Commission meeting Oct. 15.
At that time, however, the Plan-
ning Commission voted 5-1to
table it until the bills in question
are paid or a payment plan
agreed upon.
Massimilian inquired again at
the Nov. 19 meeting whether or
not it is legal according to the
Municipal Planning Code for
the Planning Commission to
delay or deny the application
based on the billing dispute.
Attorney DeVita said she was
not aware of anything in the
code prohibiting it, but that she
would again look into it.
According to Massimilian,
Section 506 of the code states
otherwise.
The Planning Commission,
however, voted again to table the
extension request until the Dec
17 meeting, by which time the
disputed bills may be reviewed.

alton resident Joan New-
man went out of her way
to care for her animals
during the recent Hurricane
Sandy. Newman loaded up her
therapy dog, Trooper, and one
pet fish in a large soup bowl
and headed to the Ramada,
Clarks Summit.
Its a really funny story,
Newman said. I walked in with
my dog and fish in a big soup
bowl. I asked themif it was OK
if I put the bowl on the service
counter. And they let me even
though many people without
power were checking in.
She added that her dog was a
bit hit.
Awoman wrote a song
about himand played it for
everyone in the lobby, New-
man said.
Prior to heading to the hotel,
Newmans pet fish were in
jeopardy when the temperature
of her salt water aquarium
dipped to 40 degrees. Newman
was able to save one fish using
Sternos and a chafing dish to
provide water of the correct
temperature. It was nursed back
to health and is doing well.
Asecond fish did not survive.

GLENBURN TWP. -Glen-
burn Twp. supervisors an-
nounced their proposed budget
for 2013 at a meeting Nov. 20.
The proposed budget, which
is subject to public review, will
be finalized in a month. In-
cluded in the budget are funds
allocated for upgrades to the
township building, employee
salaries, police protection and
road maintenance. The total
budget is $550,461.
The supervisors have bud-
geted $50,000 for upgrades to
the township building. The
upgrades will include a new
roof on the township garage, a
refurbished handicapped-ac-
cessible ramp, painting and
possibly a power generator.
The amount budget for road
work is $130,000 and $114,000
has been designated for em-
ployee salaries. The super-
visors also added $1,167 to
help the Waverly Police pur-
chase three Tasers.
Supervisors highlighted that
the proposed budget keeps
taxes at the same level.
We feel that weve been hit
by enough tax increases, Su-
pervisor Bill Wicks said.
The township will finish this
year with a budget surplus,
which has been a trend in re-
cent years, the supervisors
said.
In other business, Supervisor
Wicks updated the supervisors
on the coalition of municipal-
ities against Scrantons com-
muter tax increase. The group,
called Scranton Taxing Our
People, will challenge the tax
in court Dec. 10. The super-
visors contributed $200 to
S.T.O.P.s legal fund. Wicks
serves on the legal committee
for the coalition.
Weve been meeting with
our attorney to fight it, Wicks
said.

The Marleys Mission Board
of Directors announced U.S.
Senator Bob Casey agreed to
serve as Honorary Co-chair of
the Third Annual Blue Ribbon
Gala Feb. 16, 2013.
I amquite pleased to be a
part of Marleys Mission as the
Honorary Co-chair of this
years Blue Ribbon Gala, said
Sen. Casey. Marleys Mission
is an organization that provides
unique treatment for children
who cannot find help in tradi-
tional settings, and it is very
important to me that this orga-
nization expands with each
year so that more children can
be treated. Moreover, it is im-
portant to me that any child,
regardless of economic back-
ground, receives the help they
need at no cost to them, remov-
ing any barriers to treatment.
Senator Bob Casey has
been a tireless advocate for
children and families in his
career on both a national and
statewide level, said Gene
Talerico, President of Marleys
Mission. We can think of no
better person to spread our
message of hope and healing
than someone who has provid-
ed hope to so many for so
long.
According to the organiza-
tion, among many other mea-
sures supporting children,
Casey introduced legislation
requiring mandatory reporting
of child abuse, improving the
Childrens Health Insurance
Program(CHIP) and increas-
ing availability of quality child
care for economically disad-
vantaged families. Casey sup-
ported legislation that provides
assistance to children in foster
care.

Ribbon Gala are Kathleen
Bolling Bell and Gretchen
Wintermantel, who both volun-
teered on the Gala Committee

(570)587-3258 DALTON - At the Dal-
ton Council meeting, Nov.
8, President Bill Salva
mentioned that Dalton
Council was requested by
the Lackawanna County
Borough Association to
contribute $200 to stop
the commuter tax.
Jared Gard, who repre-
sented Dalton in a meet-
ing about this matter,
mentioned that individuals
who do not live in Scran-
ton, would have to pay a
1 percent commuter taxto
work in Scranton.
President Bill Salva
asked Gard if the tax is
starting at $200 and then
increasing. Gard replied
that it was not discussed.
Salva entertained a mo-
tion to approve the dona-
tion. Board member Bill
Montgomery asked to ta-
ble it until they find out
if the donation is higher
than $200. Board member
Lorraine Daniels assured
that the donation is $200.
Daniels added that she
would like to pass the
motion because it would
help the people of Dalton.
We dont have to take
the second step if it be-
comes expensive, she
said. She made the mo-
tion to donate $200 to
stop the commuter tax.
Nobody seconded this mo-
tion; therefore, the motion
died.
We will not make a
donation at the time, said
Salva. It doesnt mean it
cant be revisited.
In other business, Salva
thanked firefighter Mark
Sujkowski and the rest of
the Dalton Fire Company
for making their firehouse
a shelter for the citizens
of Dalton during Hurri-
cane Sandy.
Sujkowski said that
there was a lot of work
done by the fire depart-
ment and the police. He
gave a copy of the Coun-
ty EMA (Emergency Med-
ical Associates) Respon-
sive Recovery cost to Bob
Carpenter and noted a
local damage assessment.
Right now, the countys
gathering the members
together to submit to the
state to see what sort of
qualifications we have
with the state, but theyre
looking for initial damage
assessments, he said.
.
Salva asked Sujkowski
to host an open-house
training session about
generators.
Sujkowski agreed to
advertise the training ses-
sion.

OBITUARY
Leonard
Steenburg,
90, a resident
of Clarks
Summit since
2006, died
Saturday, Nov.
17, after a courageous battle
with multiple myeloma. Leo-
nard was born in Cherry Val-
ley, N.Y. on April 14, 1922 to
Jesse and Helen (Morton)
Steenburg.
He attended Cherry Valley
school excelling in sports,
particularly baseball.
Leonard married the love of
his life, Doris Hamm and
owned and operated dairy
farms in Hartwick Seminary
and Elba, N.Y. After his re-
tirement from Niagara Mo-
hawk, they spent time trav-
eling and enjoying a few
months of the year in Florida.
He was a long time resident
of Elba, N.Y. prior to his
living with his eldest daugh-
ter, Joan (Steenburg) Girts in
Clarks Summit. He was an
incredible Godly prayer war-
rior for his three daughters
Joan Steenburg Girts, Cheryl
Steenburg Whitten and Karen
Steenburg Dilcher, son-in-
laws, grand children, great
grandchildren, family and
friends. He was so proud of
all his family as was seen in
the gallery of pictures in his
room.
He served faithfully in vari-
ous leadership capacities at
First Baptist Church of Elba
where he had a longtime
membership. He was inven-
tive and a problem-solver,
able to fix anything. His love
of gardening was evident in
his beautiful roses, various
other flowers and wonderful
fruits and vegetables which
he shared with many. Wood-
working was another passion,
and he created many pieces
for his daughters, grandchil-
dren, and great grandchil-
dren. He enjoyed daily watch-
ing the various birds that feed
at his feeders. Leonard could
best be described as a hard
working, gentle, compassion-
ate man that had a generous
spirit. He loved telling stories
about his life to his children,
grandchildren and great-
grandchildren. His faith in
God and strength will remain
as an inspiration to all who
knew him. He will be missed
dearly by his family and
friends.
Leonard was predeceased
by his wife, Doris (Hamm)
Steenburg; sister Melva
(Steenburg) Nowak; and son-
in-law Larry Girts. He is
survived by three daughters,
Joan Girts of Clarks Summit.,
Cheryl and David Whitten of
Standish, Maine and Karen
and Harry Dilcher of Muncy;
eight grandchildren and their
mates; and 15 great- grand-
children. Visiting hours will
be held from 7-9 p.m., Nov.
20 at First Baptist Church of
Elba, N.Y. The funeral ser-
vice will be held Nov. 21, at 1
p.m. at First Baptist Church
of Elba. Interment will follow
at the Maple Lawn Cemetery,
Elba, N.Y. Arrangements are
in care of Burdett & Sanford
Funeral Home. Local ar-
rangements are being handled
by the Lawrence E. Young
Funeral Home.
Those desiring may con-
tribute in his memory to:
Guiding Eyes for the Blind,
Hospice of Genesee County,
or First Baptist Church of
Elba.

WAVERLY TWP. - Wa-
verly Township could be next
in line for Marcellus shale
money, according to Super-
visors at the Nov. 12 meeting.
At this point only a test well
exists. Township Supervisors
plan to make an ordinance,
but agreed to defer the sub-
ject until there are further
developments.
It was planned to advertise
the 2013 budget after the Nov.
12 meeting. There are no tax
changes in the budget.
Also in the township:
* The Waverly township
newsletter will be mailed the
townships support of the
effort to stop a commuter tax
planned by the City of Scran-
ton.
* Due to the growing pop-
ularity of the new Frisbee
golf course, the township is
considering selling discs to
patrons during the weekend
and normal office hours.
* There has been no update
regarding the township ad-
dress change. Supervisor Dr.
Douglas Klamp expressed
frustration with receiving and
sending mail and Supervisor
Tom Durbin noted how the
address change affects billing
when buying items online as
the address is not found.
Township manager Bill
White said he planned to
speak to the Dalton postmas-
ter again soon.

Anthony
Petrone Jr.,
75, died
Wednesday,
Nov. 21 at
Common-
wealth
Home Health & Hospice
of NEPA shortly after
being admitted. His wife
of 39 years is the former
Patricia Ellen Drury.
They had been residents
of South Abington Twp.
since 1991.
Born May 18, 1937, in
Queens, N.Y., son of the
late Anthony and Jennie
Ciccone Petrone, he was
a 1956 graduate of An-
drew Jackson High
School, Queens and later
furthered his studies in
electrical engineering at
Hofstra University, Far-
mingdale Technical
School and Queens Col-
lege. He was employed
more than 31 years by
Grumman Manufacturing,
where he worked as an
electrical mechanical de-
signer. During his profes-
sional career he received
many honors for his
work. He was most proud
to have worked on the
ground support team for
Apollo 13 and receive
recognition, which in-
cluded having his name
on a plaque placed on the
moon.
He was a faithful mem-
ber of Our Lady of the
Snows Parish, Clarks
Summit, where he was a
dedicated Eucharistic
minister, member of the
Mens Club, an adult aco-
lyte and supporter of the
Tiny Team Christmas pro-
gram. He also served for
many years as a Euchar-
istic minister and guitar
player for the youth mu-
sic ministry at his former
parish, Our Lady Perpetu-
al Help, Lindenhurst,
N.Y. He was a faithful
regular at the First Friday
Mass Mens Group and
Tuesday luncheons with
the retirees of Grumman.
A loving husband, de-
voted father and grandfa-
ther, Anthony will be
sadly missed for his kind
and gentle ways. He was
a self-taught musician
from an early age, and
enjoyed playing guitar,
the piano/keyboard and
most of all, accordion.
One of his greatest joys
was playing for family
gatherings, providing en-
tertainment for all. He
was also an avid chess
player, and in his youth
enjoyed time on his boat
with family and friends.
Tony was a Mr. Fix-It
to all those close to him
and often created a solu-
tion for just about any-
thing broken.
Also surviving are his
son, Anthony III; daugh-
ters, Cara Marie and Jen-
nie; his brother, Joseph
Petrone; sisters, Jean Riz-
zuti, Virginia Parlato,
Gloria Rampolla and Ro-
semary Perry; and grand-
children, Cheyanne and
Angelo Matisko; all live
out of state. He also has
numerous nieces, neph-
ews and cousins.

D. Morse, whose hus-
band, John, is the son of
Linda L. Phillips of
Clarks Summit, along
with 5,500 Sailors and
Marines assigned to the
Enterprise Carrier Strike
Group (CSG) recently
arrived in Norfolk, Va,
following a seven-and-a-
half-month deployment
supporting operations in
the Mediterranean and
the Arabian Seas.
USS Enterprises return
to Norfolk will be the
25th and final home-
coming in her 51 years of
distinguished service. The
aircraft carrier is sched-
uled to be inactivated
Dec. 1, in a ceremony at
Norfolk Naval Station.
While deployed, En-
terprise CSG served in
the U.S. 5th and 6th
Fleet areas of responsib-
ility (AOR), conducting
maritime security oper-
ations, theater security
cooperation efforts and
missions in support of
Operation Enduring Free-

sioned Nov. 25, 1961 as
the eighth ship to bear
the name Enterprise. Big
E was the worlds first
nuclear-powered aircraft
carrier. During her 51
years of service, Enter-
prise deployed 25 times
and participated in every
major conflict since the
Cuban Missile Crisis.
Enterprise has been
homeported in both Ala-
meda, Calif., and Nor-
folk, Va., and conducted
operations in every re-
gion of the world.
The December inactiva-
tion ceremony will be the

ors who have served
aboard the ship.

strated that they not only can
adapt to an evolving market-
place but continue to excel in
both clinical and financial
outcomes.
For the past 30 years,
Allied Services Home Health
has provided services to help
people remain safely at home
when they require the ser-
vices of a skilled clinician,
said Mary Lou Knabel, Al-
lied Services HomeCare

Francene Pisano Dudziec, a northeastern
Pa. native, is trying to help other families
experience the same feeling of family unity
she enjoys with her children while they travel
the state admiring Christmas light displays.
The site was created to use as a guide for
families to visit Christmas lights, holiday
light shows, impressive decorated homes and
inflatable displays that are free to the public.
Dudziec is the creator of LocateTheLight-
s.com, a website designed to list holiday
homes and light displays while helping area
families locate them, whether they are large
public city displays or small ones at a private
residence on Main Street in your hometown.
Its the second best Christmas list to be
on, said Pisano Dudziec.
Knowing that families take pride in the
work they put in to their displays, Pisano
Dudziecs vision was to create a Christmas
light clearinghouse to remove the guesswork
that families sometimes experience when
theycheck out light displays. LocateThe-
Lights.com is a virtual scrapbook that allows
a family in the area to browse a display
throughout the states without leaving the
comfort of their homes.
For more information, contact Francene
Pisano Dudziec 570.510.5352 or lighting-
director@locatethelights.com to be listed.

Keystone College in La Plume and Countryside Conservancy representatives recently gathered to cele-
brate the addition of a 1.25-mile segment to the Conservancys Trolley Trail Project.
Through the donation of a trail license agreement, Keystone College has become the latest partner in
Phase Two (Factoryville to Dalton) of the Trolley Trail, a historic right-of-way that once transported Keystone
students to campus via the Northern Electric Trolley. Both organizations are excited for the non-motorized
recreational trail to extend into Wyoming County and eventually link trail users from Clarks Summit to Lake
Winola.

Pavel Togobitsky came a
long way to become a better
teacher and pastor.
A teacher at Novosibirsk
Theological Biblical Seminary
in Novosibirsk, Siberia, Togo-
bitsky traveled nearly 6,000
miles in October to attend a
one-week on-campus module
for the Doctor of Philosophy
program at Baptist Bible Sem-
inary in Clarks Summit. He
intends to use the knowledge
and degree to help raise the
level of education offered at
Novosibirsk Theological Bib-
lical Seminary.
Even though he is far from
home and family, Togobitsky
said the Baptist Bible Semi-
nary experience is dream
come true.
It has been wonderful,
Togobitsky said.
Doctoral-level programs
include the Doctor of Ministry
and Doctor of Philosophy
degrees. These help students
increase their capacity to
serve in a current ministry or
prepare them to excel in a new
one, such as teaching at the
seminary level. Five different
D.Min. concentrations enable
students to focus on an area of
their choice, such as counsel-
ing and spiritual development,
pastoral ministry, theological
studies, global ministry and
communication.
Doctor of Philosophy stu-
dents are prepared for re-
search, writing and leadership.
Also providing flexibility, the
Ph.D. program allows students
to focus in the areas of Old
Testament, New Testament,
Systematic Theology or Bible
Exposition. BBS doctoral
programs draw students from
around the world. Along with
students from Jamaica and
Canada, Togobitsky was
joined by colleague Evgeny
Bakhmutsky from Moscow,
Russia. Bakhmutsky is the
Vice President of The Union
of Evangelical Christian-Bap-
tists of Russia.
Im really blessed. I like
being here, Bakhmutsky said.
I like the professors, their
wisdom, their openness and
the good spirit. Everyone is
very friendly and programs
are ministry-oriented. The
faculty is open to students and
students questions.
Bakhmutsky came to Clarks
Summit despite some con-
cerns he had for the safety of
his church at home. Churches
in many areas of Russia are in
the midst of a persecution by
government officials. Some
churches practicing outside
the government supported
Russia Orthodox Church have
been destroyed.
Students in doctoral or mas-
ters level programs at BBS
have many options from
which to choose. Academic
programs range from a 30-
credit Master of Ministry -
available in a totally online
format - to the terminal Ph.D.
and Doctor of Ministry de-
grees. Online, on-campus and
hybrid options are available at
each degree level and include
the Master of Divinity pro-
gram, which offers a totally
online option with a unique
one-year paid internship.
The new M.A. degree in
Biblical Apologetics is a dy-
namic program fully accred-
ited online 30-credit hour
program. It is designed to
strengthen and equip pastors
and ministry leaders to better
understand, articulate, defend,
and contextualize the Chris-
tian faith in a credible, com-
passionate and contemporary
manner.

FACTORYVILLE - At the
Lackawanna Trail board
meeting, Nov. 12, Elemen-
tary Center principal Tania
Stoker shared with the board
activities for Veterans Day.
She mentioned that art
teacher Demora created an
art project for elementary
students.
We cut out 600 hands
(cutouts), and made a huge
flag out of those hands, red
white and blue hands, she
said. He (Mr. Demora)
really should be commended
for the work he put into
that.
Stoker showed her fellow
board members a photo of
this flag which has students
names and thank-you mess-
ages to the Veterans. The
actual flag is displayed in the
elementary centers multi-
purpose room.
Stoker also announced that
Mrs. Pardue and Mrs. Fran-
ko created a slideshow using
PowerPoint with photos of
Veterans related to the facul-
ty and staff.
We also had any student,
who did not have pictures,
bring in items for care pack-
ages and we actually got a
wonderful response, said
Stoker. We have so much
stuff downstairs that were
looking for anybody thats
overseas right now who
could use a care package.
We have a lot of families
names coming in but if
theres anybody else who has
any military family members
right now overseas, we can
create some extra care pack-
ages for them.
Stoker mentioned that her
father Ronald Stoker, who
was a Vietnam War veteran,
was a guest speaker at the
elementary center.
In his secondary report,
Principal John Rushefski
announced that the high
school hosted a Veterans
Day program.
Director of Special Educa-
tion Stephanie Russell is
working on the Child Count
report, which looks at active
students who receive special
education service. She is
scheduling Tuesdays at the
high school for greater ac-
cessibility to speak with the
high school teachers and to
schedule IEP (Individualized
Educational Program).
I also formed a commit-
tee to review processes and
procedures in the special
education department, she
said. What were looking to
do is to streamline our com-
munication and our proc-
esses.
Russell acknowledged
high school science teacher
Steve Jervis, whom she
spoke to at IEP meetings.
Hes very accommodat-
ing and very eager to work
with all the students, and do
whats necessary, she said.

Just before Thanksgiving
vacation, about 6 first
through seventh grade stu-
dents from Abington
Christian Academy (ACA)
loaded 20 shoebox-sized
packages into the back of a
car belonging to Louise
Cator, ACAs business
manager.
Some boxes were covered
in colorful wrapping paper.
Others were decorated in
drawings and phrases such
as Merry Christmas or
God Loves You. Inside
the boxes were small toys,
toiletry items, gloves,
markers and candy.
The boxes are headed for
a local Operation Christ-
mas Child (OCC) Drop-off
Center, then to a regional
office in Maryland, where
the boxes will be packed
up and sent overseas to
children in dire circum-
stances in countries such
as Uganda, Cambodia and
the Dominican Republic.
Seth Young, of Clarks
Summit, a first grade stu-
dent, said he is very hap-
py to help kids who dont
have things."
Seventh-grader Eva Rap-
penglueck, of Benton, said
the annual schoolwide pro-
ject is a lot of fun and it
shows children around the
world that someone cares
for them.
She also said the student
body watched a video
showing children in other
countries opening shoe
boxes that had been gath-
ered and distributed by
Operation Christmas Child.
It was amazing to see
children from the other
side of the world getting
shoe boxes like the ones
we packed, she said.
They were so excited to
receive something as sim-
ple as a bouncy ball or a
toothbrush.
Last year over 720,000
children received shoe box-
es full of simple gifts. This
year Operation Christmas
Child announced that it
shipped its 100 millionth
box since it began its min-
istry in 1993.

Clarks Summit, left and Ross Baver of Bernville, right, were among
more than 600 new students at the campus who spent the Orien-
tation Day of Service volunteering throughout nearby communities.
The Orientation Day of Service introduces incoming students to
the communities surrounding campus and gives them the opportuni-
ty to give back to the community as well.
Freshman Ross Baver of Bernville, said one of reasons he chose
Misericordia was for the community atmosphere he found there and
was happy to take part in the Orientation Day of Service. Baver plans
to earn his undergraduate degree in psychology and his graduate
degree in Misericordias Doctor of Physical Therapy Program. Paint-
ing alongside Adam Candelori of Clarks Summit, at the Back Moun-
tain Trail, the two agreed that it was important and rewarding to help
the community. I think it is great that we get out here to do this
before we get too involved in our classes, sports and other activ-
ities, Candelori said.

The event, presented
for the second year by the
Steamtown National His-
toric Site and its partner,
the Lackawanna Histor-
ical Society, aimed to
provide something for
everyone, whether young
or young-at-heart.
Its primary focus, ac-
cording to a press release,
was on model railroad-
ing as a holiday tradi-
tion, and the program
included various model
train exhibits, demonstra-
tions and races. It was
run by local volunteers,
who contributed model
trains from their personal
collections for display, as
well as their time.
One of those volun-
teers, Dan Emick, 80, of
Scranton, said hes been
interested in trains his
whole life. He said his
favorite train from his
collection is an Amer-
ican Flyer, his first one,
which he got in 1932.
Emick said he has good
childhood memories of
beginning to set up the
train set at Thanksgiving
with his father, and fin-
ishing it by Christmas.
In our day, it was a big
deal, said Ron Moore,
64, of Scranton, another
of the program volun-
teers. Christmas and
trains went together.
He explained this is
why he was there helping
out at the event. He en-
joys doing what he did
when he was a kid and
watching other kids get
excited about the same
thing.
Were being kids this
weekend, he said.
Thats what were really
doing.
The event was well
attended, not only by
locals, but visitors from
out of state, and Emick
said the annual program
grew considerably from
last years.
Mark Brennan, program
spokesperson, described
it as a fun event, say-
ing, It adds a nice touch
to the park. It gives vis-
itors something to look at
and reminisce about.

who has been teaching
healthy cooking, primarily
vegetarian cooking for 10
years. She ascribes to the
creed, Food is our med-
icine.
The Waverly Community
House invites anyone who
would like to learn new and
different ways to take care of
yourself through the process
of making your own great
meals, to attend a demo
holiday Tao cooking class
Nov. 29 from 6 to 8 p.m. in
the Comms commercial
kitchen. Instructors Janet
Dunn-Davenport and Joanna
Bach will teach participants
to prepare healthy simple
festive foods using easy,
delicious and healthy recipes
without all the pressure and
calories. A series of six-
session classes will begin in
January and more informa-
tion will be available at the
demo class.
Eating healthy has been
nearly a lifelong mission for
Dunn-Davenport, whose
affinity for the culinary arts
is part of her lineage that
dates back to her great
grandmother, who had a
logging camp in the Adiron-
dacks and later owned a ho-
tel in New York.
Cooking is part of who I
am, she said. The overall
theme in her cooking classes
is to teach how to cook your
own food efficiently
using healthy food choices.
It doesnt have to be expen-
sive or take a lot of time. It
can be extremely healthy and
fun. I really enjoy cook-
ing. I want to help to inspire
people to get back to that
(cooking)
Dunn-Davenport became a
yoga teacher in the 1970s and
said she was really interested
in cooking her own food.
She has reaped the benefits
and convenience of her own
organic garden and raised her
children teaching them to
cook when they were very
young because I wanted
them to learn how to make
their own food, she said.
So I knew the importance
of thatso I believe in how
much healthier it is to pre-
pare your own food She
has taken many cooking
classes including in New
York at the Institute of In-
tegrative Nutrition and has
traveled to and taken cooking
classes in Thailand, and
French cooking classes in
Vermont.
I happen to love Thai
food. Its very simple, very
healthycoconut milk, coco-
nut oil, organic, lemongrass,
and cilantroI love prepar-
ing soups from Thai-
landIts so bright and deli-
cious. And its all really
fast.
In the cooking classes, she
and Bach will cook cuisine
from around the world in-
cluding Thailand, Turkey,
Italy, India and Syria. The
classes will cover cooking
seasonal vegetarian food
using herbs and whole grains
to make soups, stews, salads
and for juicing and smooth-
ies.
Dunn-Davenport said,
Once we get done, well sit
and well commune eat our
food. It will be a whole
healthy meal.
The cost per class is $50 or
$270 for the series of six
classes, to be held in Janu-
ary.

program will be educational
for guests looking to broad-
en their horizons.
Its a really good way to
show other people about
Indian culture, she said.
Its becoming more popular
in America and this cele-
bration will help people
learn a little more about the
traditions.
Nikitha, a ninth-grade
student, will organize henna
demonstrations. According
to Nikitha, the most popular
designs are peacocks, man-
gos and a variety of floral
designs. Peacocks are the
national bird of India and
mango is the national fruit.
The cost for guests to get a
henna designed on them
will be $2 for children under
10; $4 for all other ages.
According to Dipti Pan-
choly, Diwali is a five-day
festival in which different
prayers are offered each day.
One day is specially set
aside for forgiveness and
throwing out demons and
negativity, one day for
prayer for wealth and good
health to come into the
home. Another day, the
prayer is for wealth to come
into business. Another day is
set aside for feasting.
The final day dedicated to
brothers and sisters.
Wherever the brother
may be, he would try to get
to his sisters home to get
together and exchange pre-
sents, Dipti Pancholy said.
According to Maitri Pan-
choly, one of the traditions is
cleaning the house to help
the gods feel welcome.
Another tradition of Di-
wali is that friends and fam-
ily exchange presents.
Most Indians celebrate
Diwali as the day of home-
coming for King Rama,
according to Dipti Pancholy.
Rama and his queen, Sita,
were placed in exile by his
stepmother as part of a
promise made by the king.
The king promised the
queen that he would give
her any one wish because
she had saved his life. Her
wish was that for 14 years,
her son, who was younger,
would rule. During the exile,
the queen was abducted by
the king of another far away
kingdom, called Lanka.
Through the help of a south-
ern kingdom, Rama was
able to retrieve his queen.
Because it was the darkest
night, they couldnt find
their way back to the king-
dom and the citizens were
concerned that he would get
lost and not find their way
home. Citizens lit oil lamps
throughout the night so that
the couple could find their
way home.
That is the reason why
we still light lamps, Dipti
Pancholy said.
During the events Story
Time, Maitri and Pari Pan-
choly will explain the story
and traditions of Diwali.
The setting off of fire-
crackers, another Diwali
tradition, will take place
outside the library at the end
of the program.
Guests are asked to regis-
ter by Dec. 6 by either stop-
ping at the library or calling
587.3440.

executive director of the
County Commissioners
Association of Pennsylva-
nia, such a resolution is not
uncommon or unusual both
at the county and local mu-
nicipal levels. He said, how-
ever, it is much easier to
carry out countywide.
Hill explained the com-
mon reasoning behind it is
that an individual working
for the citizens in a county
should know the citizens,
understand the issues and
be involved in the county.
He added that some believe
those being paid out of the
countys tax funds should
be county taxpayers.
OMalley echoed these
sentiments. He believes
living in the county makes
a county worker a better
citizen in the community.
In the big scheme of
things, he said, I think its

detailed data on the precise
levels of contamination for
each test.
Atime slider feature al-
lows a user to access data hun-
dreds of tests at well locations
for any time in the last 40
years, beginning with the first
testing well constructed in
1970. The wells test surface
water and groundwater at dif-
ferent levels of rock under-
ground.
Some wells are nested,
which means they are designed
to test contamination at differ-
ent levels underground in the
same location. The viewer
sorts data for each layer of
rock under the site.
The geology of the region is
unique, EPAonsite coordinator
Ann DiDonato said, noting that
the much of the rock is frac-
tured, or cracked, and the un-
derground layers are irregular.
Despite the uneven geology of
the site, EPAcontractors have
determined the dimensions of
the contamination plume,
which refers to the affected
area.
Theyve done an amazing
job tracking these areas down,
DiDonato said, noting that the
dimensions of the plume are
fairly well-defined now.
EPAcontractors, funded by
Precision National Plating,
have initiated several rounds of
calciumpolysulfide injections
into the ground. Calciumpoly-
sulfide converts the hexavalent
chromiuminto a trivalent
form, which does not have the
same toxic characteristics.
The injections have worked
well, according to Ann DiD-
onato, the EPAs onsite coor-
dinator for the Precision site.
Occasionally, the levels in a
particular well will spike, a
phenomenon that the officials
call rebounds. DiDonato said
the rebounds indicate that
some of the chromiumrecently
dislodged fromwithin a rock
fracture, or crack, and released
into the aquifer.
Overall, however, concentra-
tions are dropping. There is no

Last weekend the Dietrichs
Fassett Studio was filled with
candy, creativity and holiday
spirit as local baker Gina Sher-
wood and her daughter Carly (a
budding baker and future culi-
nary school student) taught
teens and adults the basics of
building and designing their
own gingerbread houses. Gina
had the class split up into five
groups to work on their own
gingerbread creations. Even
though each group started out
with the same materials, each
house looked unique based on
the architectural details and
designs that were incorporated
into each structure. The work-
shop was free of charge thanks
to Gina, Carly and the Tunk-
hannock Business and Profes-
sional Association.
This class will hopefully
inspire some newcomers to the
upcoming Gingerbread House
Contest that is part of Tunk-
hannocks Christmas in Our
Hometown. Contest rules can
be found at www.tunkhannock-

tion will follow the show. We
would like to thank the Penn-
sylvania Council on the Arts
for sponsoring this program.
While at the radio show or

T
he title of Karl Neuroths
exhibit at Laura Craig
Galleries is appropriately
titled, Natura Sensus which in
Latin means sensuous nature.
Laura Craig, gallery owner, said
of his collection of work, Karl
Neuroths artworks resonate with
a sense of presence, and what is
right. His rich, and yes, sensuous
use of color, line and texture de-
scribe a wide range of subject
(often expressed in abstract
terms) and provide a glimpse into
the deeper sense of the reality he
experiences in the process of cre-
ating his artwork. This is a gift.
Craig categorizes his works in
the exhibition, which will run
through Dec. 7, as mixed media
to a greater or lesser degree.
Prints, drawings, paintings, and
other material, including wood or
other objects of interest to Neu-
roth, are bonded by archival
means to a cradle, which he may
then in-paint, or paint out, draw
on or otherwise manipulate dur-
ing the course of creating a piece,
said Craig. Black and whites

Karl Neu-
roth said
the art in
his exhibit
is centered
on pattern,
although I
got really
involved in
trying to
make the
pattern
more subtle
and at the
same time,
I think a
little more
enigmatic
or complex
by not using
ink at all on
some of
those
prints.
A deeper sense
Said Laura Craig of Karl Neuroths work: Black and whites may sit with many
colors, frenetic drawings reside with silent white on whiteThe results are
always fresh, exciting, and creative.

Its the idea of being able to assem-
ble a whole wall, or just a few pieces
or it could be larger and larger, with
more and more prints. I really like the
idea that the person who acquires the
work is able to have a hand in arrang-
ing the overall pattern.

A special book cart will
be set aside in the Chil-
drens Room at the Abing-
ton Community Library
during December to hold
the picture book collec-
tion of Christmas and ho-
liday books for easy
browsing by parents and
children. Look for old
favorites and classics as
well as some new titles
just purchased, such as the
following:
Fa La La by Leslie
Patricelli. The star of this
book for toddlers is an
exuberant baby excited
that Christmas is on its
way. He/she narrates a
host of holiday activities:
picking out a tree, car-
oling, and awaiting San-
tas arrival, while the il-
lustrations add personality
and humor to the text.
Christmas Parade by
Sandra Boynton. Boyn-
tons menagerie of cows,
mice, ducks, chickens,
pigs and hippos march
across the pages and her
rhyming text brims with
holiday cheer.
The Christmas Quiet
Book by Deborah Under-
wood. Furred animal-chil-
dren explore quiet times
of the season, such as
snow angel quiet,
knocking with mittens
quiet, mistletoe quiet,
listening for sleigh bells
quiet and finally,
Christmas morning
quiet.
Just Right for Christ-
mas by Birdie Black.
Scraps of red cloth, first
from a cloak sewn for a
princess, find their way
into a jacket for the kitch-
en maids mother, a hat
for badgers pa, gloves for
squirrels wife, and final-
ly, a scarf for mouses son
create gifts that felt just
right on Christmas morn-
ing.
Christmastime by Ali-
son Jay. Secret clues, plus
hidden allusions to classic
Christmas carols, turn this
picture book into an inter-
active holiday treasure
hunt, as each page tells a
story of a Yuletide adven-
ture in Santas sleigh, end-
ing at home in time for a
comfy Christmas morning.
The Christmas Tug-
boat: How the Rockefeller
Center Christmas Tree
Came to New York City
by George Matteson and
Adele Ursone. The daugh-
ter of a tugboat captain
narrates an account of the
long-ago year she helped
her father deliver the
enormous tree to New
York City by way of the
Hudson River. Paintings
by illustrator James Ran-
some capture life on the
tugboat but also depict
wider views of the city,
the river, and the towed
barges unusual festive
cargo.
Christmas Wombat by
Jackie French. Wombat
embarks on an eventful
Christmas Eve journey
that transforms him from
homebody to world trav-
eler overnight. He stum-
bles across plentiful sup-
plies of carrots, his favor-
ite snack, stares down
some reindeer, and curls
up to catch naps on the
back of Santas sleigh.

T
hirteen-year-old Ga-
briele Hanstein, Scran-
ton, said she was not
familiar with Marleys Mission
until her grandmother showed
her a newspaper that contained
information regarding the mis-
sions 2011art contest.
It just seemed like a lot of
fun when my grandmother
showed it to me in the paper,
said Hanstein, a seventh grade
student at St. Pauls School,
Scranton.
She entered the contest and
was voted the 2011Peoples
Choice Award winner. Her
winning entry was a drawing of
a horse using colored pencils,
watercolor and ink as her medi-
ums, and she found her in-
spiration for her drawing from
a photograph taken by her
father, Fred Hanstein.
According to Nicole Severs,
Marleys Mission Blue Ribbon
Gala Art Committee co-chair,
the theme of the Second An-
nual art contest is What Does
a Forever Home Mean to
You? reflecting the fact that
Marleys Mission has just pur-
chased 32 acres of land in
Newton Township and will
serve as the forever home for
the Mission. All entries for the
art contest must be postmarked
and/or received by Dec. 3. The
contest is open to children
kindergarten through12th
grade fromacross the United
States.
Severs added, In my opin-
ion, the Art Contest allows
children across the country to
be a part of something so in-
credibly life changing in our
community. In art, there is no
right or wrong, its a personal
connection felt by the heart. By
participating in the Art Contest,
participants have a means to
express themselves. Marleys
Mission is all about the chil-
dren and the Art Contest allows
us to give children an opportu-
nity to make a difference in the
world by raising awareness and
supporting such an important
organization.
Courtenay Degnon, Marleys
Mission Blue Ribbon Gala Art
Committee co-chair added, I
was so honored to be asked to
be a co-chair for this years art
contest and centerpiece project
for Marleys Missions 2013
Blue Ribbon Gala. The pieces
that were displayed at Star-
bucks in Scranton last Decem-
ber, as well as the centerpieces
that were on display at the gala
in February, were magnificent.
My hope is that each parent or
teacher, while working with
their children, shares with them
an age appropriate piece of
information about what Mar-
leys Mission is and howthey
help children. I can definitely
see the future through our chil-
drens eyes. I knowthat their
artwork will inspire many to
learn more about this amazing
organization and hopefully
inspire themto help out so that
many children can have a
brighter future.
The public will have an op-
portunity to vote for a Peoples
Choice Winner at the First
Friday event at Starbucks, in
the Steamtown Mall Dec. 7,
6:30 to 8 p.m. Severs noted that
supporters can come and cast
their vote for a $1with all pro-
ceeds going directly to the
mission to help children who
have suffered abuse and/or
trauma.
The Third Annual Marleys
Mission Blue Ribbon Gala is
on the calendar for Feb. 16,
2013. For more information

Gabriele Hanstein, Marleys Mis-
sion 2011 Art Contest Peoples
Choice Award winner, said she
found her inspiration from a pho-
tograph taken by her father.
Want to enter the art contest?
According to Nicole Severs, Co-Chair Art Committee Marleys Mission Blue
Ribbon Gala, the art contest guidelines are as follows:
* Children should illustrate their interpretation of this years theme on a
8.5 by 11-inch sheet of white paper. White cardstock is acceptable, but not
construction or lined paper.
* The illustration must be depicted horizontally.
* Children can use crayons, pastels, markers, Tempera or watercolor
paints. NO lead or colored pencils;
* Artwork must be the childs own creation;
* Tracings and direct copies of other art cannot be considered;
Once submitted, all entries will become property of Marleys Mission. By
submitting the artwork, permission is granted to Marleys Mission to
produce and reproduce the artwork as well as the childs first initial and
last name and childs age.
All entries must be postmarked and/or received by Mon., Dec. 3.
Tips:
* Use eye -catching color. Bolder colors reproduce well. Light -colored
artwork will not show up if reproduced in the future.
* Be careful with erase marks and pencil outlines.
* Fill up the page and be careful not to have the drawing get too close to
the edges of the paper.
* Make sure facial features on people and animals are bold so they will
reproduce well, if they are reproduced in the future.
* Be creative! Make it your own. There is no right or wrong with your
interpretation of what the theme means to you.
Art contest information and forms to be completed and taped to the back
of each childs entry can be found at marleysmission.com under the Blue
Ribbon Gala link and clicking on the 2012-2013 Art Contest tab.

Having barely recovered
from eating myself into
oblivion during the annual
Thanksgiving feast, youd
think that the last thing Id
want to contemplate was a
book about food, but Mi-
chael Ablemans Fields of
Plenty is so gorgeous, pas-
sionate and thought-provok-
ing I couldnt resist. At this
time of year, when we cele-
brate the harvest, it seems
fitting to read about the men
and women who feed us. The
books subtitle: A farmers
journey in search of real food
and the people who grow it,
explains the premise of this
memoir of this three-month
pilgrimage across the United
States Ableman made with
his elder son, Aaron in a
cranky VW Bus a few sum-
mers ago.
The Ablemans odyssey
focuses on 25 farmers, from
California to Maine, who,
whether they produce figs,
artisanal cheeses, potatoes,
salad greens, ice cream or
free-range chickens, are de-
voted to organic, humane,
sustainable practices. Al-
though the people we get to
meet raise an astounding va-
riety of food, they have a lot
in common. Their farms,
which range from tiny roof-
top plots in big cities to per-
haps 200 acres, are miniscule
when compared to the 10,000
or more acres on a typical in-
dustrial farm. They are pas-
sionate about flavor, quality
and the land they husband
and would probably agree
with Bob Cannard, a Califor-
nia farmer, most of whose
produce winds up in the
kitchen of Alice Waters fa-
mous restaurant, Chez Pa-
nisse, in that they strive to
create a truly healthy food-
production ecosystem, one
that somehow blends the will
of the farmer with the will
and wisdom of nature.
You may be tempted to
think that the farmers in this
book are just trying to cash in
on the current interest in or-
ganic foods, but most have
been at their calling for 20
years or longer, and some,
like John and Ida Thurman,
growers in the rural black
community of Pembroke
Township in Illinois, learned
to farm organically from
their parents and grandpar-
ents because their financial
circumstances wouldnt al-
low anything else.
The chapter, titled Mar-
gins, that introduces us to
the Thurmans is probably my
favorite. It takes us first to
the infamous Chicago hous-
ing project, Cabrini Green,
which was built in the 1950s
to, as Ableman puts it:
warehouse poor, unemploy-
ed and primarily black resi-
dents. Here, in the shadows
of the prison-like project, ur-
ban farmers are busily at
work growing heirloom to-
matoes on tiny plots fertil-
ized by compost that consists
of everything from cherry
pie filling to discarded arug-
ula salads and steaks from
the garbage of high-end res-
taurants. According to the
author, every major city now
has elements of guerrilla
gardening, where growers
transform abandoned lots,
vandalized pocket parks,
rooftops and even sidewalk
soil, into plots of food and
flowers. Later, when we visit
the Thurmans, we learn that
sustainable farming can have
important socio-political
implications.
The collards, sweet pota-
toes, beans and pasture-
raised chickens the Thur-
mans grow provide food for
the locals and for a neighbor-
hood in Chicago that would
otherwise never see any
fresh food, the author ex-
plains, pointing out that the
neighborhood in Chicago
where the Thurmans sell
their produce at a farmers
market does not have a sin-
gle grocery store. Living as
we do, in an area where there
seems to be a grocery store
on every other block, I took
for granted that all Ameri-
cans had easy access to fresh
food until I read this book.
The passion of the farmers
in this book for flavor and
freshness, their pride in the
quality of their produce re-
minded me of the best corn I
ever ate. We lived, at the
time, in a suburb of Pitts-
burgh, and had been invited
to a friends cabin for a party.
We were tasked with provid-
ing the corn that would be
wrapped in damp burlap and
roasted over the coals a few
hours later. The farmers who
grew the corn a pair of el-
derly sisters were regarded
locally as being a little pecu-
liar, since the old gals would
only sell you corn if you
waited while they picked it
and promised to eat it the ve-
ry same day. However, every-
one agreed their corn was
spectacular. And it was:
plump ears bursting with fla-
vor, so crisp and sweet I
couldnt stop eating them. I
dont think I realized, until I
had a tiny plot of my own and
reveled in eating a sun-
warmed tomato right in the
garden, that that corn was so
delicious because it was
grown with a passionate
commitment and eaten with-
in hours of its picking. When
you read Fields of Plenty,
youll quickly realize, as I
did when I ate that corn and
those tomatoes, that the plas-
tic-wrapped, hot-house
grown produce thats been
languishing in a cooler for
days, and that we normally
consider to be fresh, will
never, never taste as good as
the foods the farmers in this
book grow.
Just as eating lovingly hus-
banded food is a sensual
pleasure, so is this book it-
self. Everything about it --
from the thick, creamy paper
of its pages, to Ablemans
splendid photographs and
equally evocative prose and
the tasty recipes from the
farmers that accompany
each chapter makes Fields
of Plenty a delicious book
about stewardship, family
and dedication to quality. Af-
ter reading it, youll want to
take your own field trip to
search out the delicious food
available at farm stands,
farmers markets, and, if
youre lucky, in your own
back yard.

I relied on the embossed

proper lighting; it is a work
that I think has some merit.
Its the idea of being able to

lex Chapman experi-
enced an accomplished
career as a member of
the Abington Heights girls
soccer team. It just didnt end
they way she would have liked.
Just a fewgoals away from
breaking the schools goals
record, Chapman suffered an
ACL(Anterior Cruciate Liga-
ment) tear, ending her season.
Despite the disappointing
end, Chapman characterized
her years on the teamas en-
joyable.
I met a lot of great friends
and have a lot of great memo-
ries that will last for the rest of
my life, she said. The team
was really closeespecially
this year. We were like a big
family.
Winning the district title all
four years was a lot of fun.
While it was difficult not
being able to finish her season,
Chapman credits her team-
mates for easing the pain and
frustration.
The girls definitely showed
a lot of support, she said.
They visited me after the sur-
gery and offered to give rides
because I cant drive.
They made it 10 times eas-
ier.
Watching the teamplay in the
district and state playoffs was
tough for the all-region player.
It was hard sitting and
watching my teammates play,
Chapman said I wish that I
could have helped. When I was
watching, I sawthings that I
knewI could help with, but
obviously I couldnt. I just tried
to be as supportive as possible.
Abington Heights head
coach E.T. Hunter described
Chapman as a player to be
counted on in a big situation.
She was a standout player
and a really natural forward,
Hunter said. She had dry
spells like all good players do,
but when she bounced back she
was very difficult to control
and hold back.
Hunter added that the seniors
mentality was always positive,
even after the injury.
Along with her ability as a
player, she has a very good
head on her shoulders, he said.
Her demeanor and attitude is
always positive. She was always
very supportive of the girls. Her
commitment to the teamdidnt
slowdown at all after her in-
jury. She was on the sidelines
for every game and practice.
Champan hopes to be able to
return for the spring track and
field season to compete in the
javelin and shot put events.
Ive been doing everything
the trainers tell me to do, she
said. They are really great and
are always encouraging me.
Chapman has been in rehabil-
itation three times a week at
ProCare Physical Therapy.
Ive been lifting to build up
my upper body strength just in
case Imable to compete, she
said.

PECKVILLE- Allentown
Central Catholics combina-
tion of a stingy defense and
punishing running game
proved to be too much for
Abington Heights High
School football players.
Vikings running back
Colin McDermott rushed
for 256 yards on 35 carries.
The senior also scored all
three Central Catholic
touchdowns in their 23-0
win over the Comets in a
PIAAClass AAAfirst-
round contest at John Henz-
es Veterans Memorial Stadi-
umNov. 24.
Weve been feeding the
ball to Colin all year, Al-
lentown Central Catholic
head coach John Cupples
said. Hes a workhorse and
our offensive line has been
doing a great job.
Abington Heights threat-
ened early, moving the ball
to the Allentown Central
Catholic 29-yard line, but
JCShowwas unable to haul
in a fourth down pass from
quarterback Dante Pasqual-
ichio near the goal line.
Pasqualichio came away
with the only Comets take-
away of the game, when he
intercepted Central Catholic
quarterback Anthony Beck,
ending the Vikings drive.
Central Catholic broke
the scoreless tie with 6:35
left in the second quarter
when McDermott capped a
12-play, 73-yard drive with a
3-yard touchdown run. The
Vikings were unable to
convert the extra point when
Jamie Henzes recovered the
fumbled snap.
I think the difference
maker was our offensive
line getting a complete push
upfront, McDermott said.
It was just awesome.
The game really turned
when Ryan Beville returned
a Comets punt 62 yards to
the Abington Heights 2-
yard line. Apenalty on the
Vikings sideline moved the
ball back to the17, but
McDermott scored five
plays later on a 2-yard
touchdown run.
There are a lot of big
plays that can happen over
the course of the football
game, Abington Heights
head coach Joe Repshis
said. They made a play
with the punt return that
gave themsome momen-
tum. They are a very athletic
and physical football team. I
give themall the credit in
the world.
On the first drive of the
second half, McDermott
picked up 56 yards, includ-
ing a 44-yard touchdown in
which he broke several
tackles on his way to the end
zone, stretching the Vikings
lead to 20-0 with11:16 left
in the third quarter.
Whatever it takes,
McDermott said of his long
touchdown run. This was a
big win for us.
During the Vikings next
possession, McDermott
broke off a 47- yard run
down to the Abington
Heights 6-yard line, but the
Comets defense held touch,
forcing a 22-yard field goal
by Rob Fidati.
Imextremely proud of
our players, Repshis said.
They played the full 48
minutes and never quit.
They had a great season and
a lot to be proud of. It wasnt
the result we were looking
for but Imstill extremely
proud of them.
On the ensuing drive,
Abington Heights moved
the ball down to the Central
Catholic 9-yard line, but
three straight incompletions
ended their scoring chance.

the effort of our team in
both areas.

by the Snow and they
