RANSOMTWP. -At the
RansomTownship Board of
Supervisors Jan. 7 meeting,
resident Bill Auriemma present-
ed concerns regarding a list of
missing and voided town-
ship checks he said nobody
seems to be able to account for.
Auriemma said he does not
knowa lot about the matter, but
that four or five people in the
township who have been look-
ing at this for a while gave him
the partial list to pass on to the
supervisors and solicitor. He
refused to identify those indi-
viduals.
Referring to the list of check
numbers, he questioned wheth-
er or not all of the many checks
recorded as void were actual-
ly voided, or if they may have
been marked that way after
being cashed. He suggested the
township contact the bank in
order to determine if they were
cashed.
Township Solicitor Edmund
Scacchitti said it would not be
difficult to obtain this informa-
tion fromthe bank, but that it
would include an expense, as

CLARKS SUMMIT -The
recent violence at Sandy
Hook Elementary School in
Newtown, Conn., prompted
many parents of students in
the Abington Heights School
District to call and inquire
about the administrations
plans to prevent a similar
occurrence.
In the days following the
tragedy, we have had many
phone calls from parents,
Abington Heights Superin-
tendent of Schools Dr. Mi-
chael Mahon said. It was a
source of great concern.
We, as a school district,
take security very, very seri-
ously, Mahon added. We
conduct safety drills, we bring
in state police officers to look
at our facilities and offer rec-
ommendations, we have audi-
tors come in and offer recom-
mendations, and once a
month, Principal Pamela Mur-
ray, is meeting with our re-
gional police chiefs.
Mahon stressed that while
the district takes many steps
to ensure the safety of its stu-
dents, its not comfortable
providing all of its security
information to the general
public.
We are very slow and hes-
itant to divulge the specifics
of what we do to parents and
people outside the school
district, Mahon said. If we
were to make all that informa-
tion public, it might be of
assistance of someone who

CLARKS SUMMIT
The Borough of Clarks
Summit Police Chief Offi-
cer Joe Laguzzi, 41, of
Clifford Twp. officially
received the oath of office
Jan. 2. He was sworn in at
the regular monthly meet-
ing by Mayor Harry Kelly.
Councilman Roy Davis
motioned the appointment
of Chief
Laguzzi
and it was
seconded
by Coun-
cilman
Herman
Johnson.
With
the begin-
ning of
the new
year, the
council was required to
appoint and reappoint
members of committees
and employees of the Bor-
ough of Clarks Summit.
Council President Gerrie
Carey motioned to ap-
prove committees, but
after questions were pre-
sented by Johnson, the
council agreed to table all
committee positions until
further notice.
As a council person, I
think that we should have
work sessions and discuss
the reappointment of other
people. We have not dis-
cussed anyone but the
chief of police. We should
sit down and talk about
the reappointments of
people, Johnson said.
Johnson said that coun-
cil advertise for the posi-
tions. Borough Manager
Virginia Kehoe said that
she spoke to everyone
involved with committees
in November, and they all
expressed interest in reap-
pointment. At that time
the list was made available
to council members for
review.
In other business, coun-
cil recommended a contri-
bution of 3 percent from
the police for the Police
Pension Board resolution
of 2013, which is the same
as last year. The remain-
ing 2 percent would be
paid by the borough.
Councilman Jenkins ap-
proved the resolution and
it was seconded by John-
son.
The council moved to
discuss parking tickets
and the area near Bedford
Tower Apartments located
at 400 Bedford St. People
are parking on streets and
the borough is unable to
plow. Johnson questioned
whether the street was a
snow emergency route and
the fire trucks are able to
get through. Chief Laguz-

Borough
introduces
parking permits:
Starting this month, Clarks
Summit Borough will offer a
parking permit, according to
Borough Manager Virginia
Kehoe. This pilot program
was suggested by
retailers/businesses and their
employees in the downtown.
Passes are intended to make
parking close to their
business more convenient
and affordable. Recipient will
pay $30 per month. The
program is designed to be
business/retail friendly,
however landlords and
tenants may benefit as well.
Parking permit recipients are
required to be mindful not to
park directly in front of a
storefront/business that is not
their own. Side streets and
end of the blocks are
suggested.
The parking permit, once
purchased, is to be displayed
on the dashboard of the
drivers side of the vehicle
registered. It must be visible
at all times. Purchased
monthly, the permits are color
coded to correspond with
each month.
Permits can be purchased at
the Borough Office, 304 S
State St, 2nd floor, open Mon.
Fri. 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Permits
are valid from the 15th to the
15th of each month.

Tired of being indoors? Missing those summer
days spent at the park? The snowand ice didnt
stop these people fromvisiting Lackawanna State
Park, Dalton for outdoor recreational activities this
past weekend. Some guests took advantage of the
public ice skating rink while others braved a bike or
sled ride.
Perhaps they will inspire you to dig those snow
shoes and fishing pole out of the garage (or rent
some) and head out on a refreshing winter trek or
ice fishing. For ice safety tips, see Page 4.

CALENDAR
Holiday tree collection for
South Abington Twp. is
scheduled for Jan. 19. Resi-
dents are requested to place
the trees only (no bags) at the
curb the night prior to pickup.
The regular weekly collec-
tion schedule for the township
will remain during 2013, ex-
cept for the following holiday
weeks: May 27, July 4, Sept.
2, Nov. 28, and Dec. 25.
According to the township,
the collection hauler is al-
lowed under contract to stop
collection on any given day
due to inclement weather
conditions. If that is the case,
residents are asked to leave
their items out for collection
for the next few days as the
hauler will return the first
clear day to finish the route.

Dear Editor:
As you are aware, Linda
Munley is not seeking reelec-
tion as Register of Wills.
Since that decision was made
there has been a call to elim-
inate the office of the Register
of Wills and consolidate the
duties of such into the remain-
ing offices. As you recognize,
one of the ways for govern-
mental entities to save money
is consolidation. I believe the
time has come to consolidate
this office. Ms. Munley has a
professional and competent
staff and I do not believe con-
solidation would disrupt the
office. Further, other counties
have consolidated the Register
of Wills office successfully. In
addition, and most important
to our taxpayers, this consoli-
dation will save money.
I wholeheartedly support
consolidation of this office.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor:
I saw that the County gov-
ernment recently increased
taxes again this year on top
of the 38% tax increase last
year. I am glad at least one
of our commissioners, Com-
missioner (Patrick M.)
OMalley, had enough sense
to vote against the tax in-
crease. When is enough
enough?

Their romance got its start
at a ScrantonLions Club

saidLiana.

dinganniversaryat a dinner

She obviouslywas beau-
tiful thenandstill is today,
Pete saidof his wife. She
has anincredible energy
about her that was immedi-
atelyattractive andcontin-
ues tobe.
Followinghighschool
graduationin1960, Pete
accepteda football scholar-
shipthroughthe University
of Florida andtheywere
apart for a while. Theybe-
came engagedshortlyafter-
ward. We decidedthe long
distance thingwas not great,
sowe marriedinthe sum-
mer of1962before Pete
enteredhis junior year, said
Liana.
She was 20andhe was19
whentheymarried.
Whenyougrowup,
youdont have mommyand
daddytocount on. It was my
first time awayfromhome
andI crieda lot for a couple
of weeks. But it was a great
experience because it was
just the twoof us andyou

Approximately125guests
attendedtheir weddingat

Amici. Theyhoneymooned
at Split RockLodge.
We packedeverything

headedsouth, saidPete.
He describedtheir new-
lyweddays livinginFlorida
as TwoYankees inthe
southin1962. Theycame
home tonortheasternPa. in
1965; Pete withhis masters
degree, anda teachingposi-
tioninHazleton. After their
return, theywelcomed
daughter, Ashley.
Are theysurprisedtheir
marriage has endured50
years? No.
If anybodysays there
arent ups anddowns,
theyre not tellingthe truth.
But, youcant reallybelieve
that its 50years. It just
doesnt seempossible.
Where didthat time go?
Liana said.
Weve beenpart of an
extendedfamilysince we
were marriedandI think
theres a shelter thereIts
nice tohave other people
youcanturntowhenyou
have a questionor a little
bumpinthe road, Pete said.
Their support groupalso
includes very, veryclose
friends, accordingtoPete.
Were veryopenwitheach
other. We dont hide our
laundry. Weve always had
that shelter (of friends) as
well.
Pete servedas a social
studies teacher at Hazleton,
WyomingArea andAbing-
tonHeights highschools;
assistant principal at Abing-
tonHighSchool, south
campus; andprincipal of the
highschool. Following

Northeast Charter School
andalsoworkedfor two
years at Lourdesmont
School. Liana workedwith

Intermediate Unit for 29
years as a driver andbe-
tweenruns, staffeddifferent
boutiques inthe area.
One of the traits they
share intheir marriage is an
abilitytolaugh. Pete ex-
plained, We dont have
problems laughingat or

verystructuredandorga-
nized. Whenshe has a job
she starts andfinishes it-
WhenI have a job, before

Theyhave three children:
Ashley, 47, Peter, 45and
Jason, 42, as well as four

Without goodhealthnoth-
ingelse matters, she added.
Anda little romance

piece of jewelry, sometimes
evendesigningit personally.
The 50thwas a necklace
that Pete designedand
James Simrell crafted, she
said.
Her husbandsaidlove is
the spark.
Asuccessful marriage
happens whenyoufall in
love over andover again
withthe same person. That
has workedfor me, Pete
said. Just whenthings are

C
larks Summits new chief
of police might be de-
scribed as an optimist.
Joe Laguzzi, 41, of Clifford
Twp. learned during his 20
years with the City of Carbon-
dale Police Department that
although negative situations
arise on the job, its important
for an officer not to let them
affect him or her.
You see a lot of bad things,
he said referring to run-ins
with drugs, domestic issues
and child abuse cases, and
you dont want to really harp
on them. Those are things you
have to deal with, being a po-
lice officer, but then you want
to move on and look for the
positive things in people.
He said hes always been
community-oriented, and en-
joys getting involved in activ-
ities such as crime watches and
the D.A.R.E. anti-drug abuse
programs in schools.
I believe in being proac-
tive, he explained, getting out
there and doing some positive
things to keep people maybe
from making a bad choice or
making a bad decision.
Laguzzi said one of his goals
as police chief in Clarks Sum-
mit is to employ an open door
policy with members of the
community, both businesses
and individual residents. His
desire: to be visible and avail-
able to the public. He would
like people to feel they are
welcome to come to him with
issues, problems and concerns
to sit down and come up with
solutions.
Another of his goals for the
near future, he said, is to have
ranking officers in the depart-
ment. Currently, other than
chief, the department has only
the rank of patrolman. He ex-
plained that his experience has
been in a department with a
very structured system of ranks
and would like to see that im-
plemented to a smaller extent
in Clarks Summit.
The main goal with that is
that it gives the officers a little
bit of a goal to reach for, La-
guzzi said. The chief cannot be
there all the time, he added,
and although he is only a
phone call away, the officers
need to know they are able to
make good judgment calls and
some command decisions.
The new chief said of the
Clarks Summit department,
Its a good police department.
The officers that are here have
been here for awhile. Theyre
well adapted to the communi-
ty.
One of the most important
lessons learned during his 20
years experience, Laguzzi said,
is to be open-minded. To kind
of look at issues and look at
problems straight onthere
always seems to be more than
one answer, and more than one
solution to solving things.
He looks forward to working
alongside other local police
departments and officers, many
of whom he already knows
from his 12 years on the county
SWAT team.
We need to be there for
them, he said, and they need
to be there for us.
Chief: Look for the positive
After 20 years on the force in
Carbondale, Joe Laguzzi, 41,
aims to bring his proactive
approach to Clarks Summit

pretty much encompasses a lot of my life right now and everything is

zi suggested the use of a tow
tag which would constitute as
a warning placed on top of a
parking ticket. After five
days, if the vehicle has not
been moved, it would be
towed. No decision was reac-
hed. The topic will be dis-
cussed at a future meeting.
In old business, the council
discussed the parking meter
ordinance. Before making
any decisions as to whether
to relocate current meters or
purchase new meters, council
members will invite George
Carros, who maintains
Clarks Summit meters to
attend a work session with
recommendations.
At the meeting Feb. 6,
council will discuss a letter
of recommendation sent by
LJ Milo Enterprises, Inc.
regarding a land development
plan. According to Borough
Manager Virginia Kehoe, the
plan is to build a new CVS
on the property located on
the corners of State Street
and Winola Road. This
would adjoin the Donna Bu-
ranich and LJ Milo Enter-
prises, Inc-owned properties.
If the CVS is built, there
would be storm water chang-
es that might alleviate some
minor flooding that currently
affects the property, accord-
ing to council.

CLARKS SUMMIT- A
programused nationally by the
military to help soldiers pre-
pare for anything can nowhelp
you lift grocery bags.
Anational program, Cross-
Fit, has made its way to Clarks
Summit.
Browns Gym, located at
1000 South State Street in
Clarks Summit, offers the
fitness class open for gym
members of all ages. The class
includes varied functional
movements meant to prepare
athletes for encounters of daily
life. Browns was officially
recognized as an affiliate of the
national programin December.
CrossFit trainer, Dustin
LaBar, gives the example of
howthe training can help with
mundane tasks such as bend-
ing to pick up groceries. The
exercises in CrossFit vary each
day and seek to strengthen the
entire body by doing body
weight and cardiovascular
exercises.
The routine of the class is
the same for everyone, its just
held at a different scale, wheth-
er they are 24 years old or 90
years old, LaBar said.
AWOD, or Workout of the
Day, keeps boredomat bay.
Kristen Wiggins, 26, from
Olyphant who started CrossFit
at Browns Gymin late No-
vember, prior to its national
affiliation, defines what she
likes best about CrossFit, You
never knowwhat youre going
to get.
Aclass is offered every day
of the week except Sunday.
Members do not need to attend
every class, but according to
CrossFit trainer Mike Kettel,
most do because they enjoy it.
Sometime in the middle of
the week, the class is focused
on technique rather than
strength training. This gives
the body time to recover and
allows those who have trou-
ble with a technique froman
exercise to improve on it.
Everyone works at their
own pace to complete reps.
Wiggins, said, It feels like a
high school sport, and the
coaches are a good time.
They give you a lot of per-
sonal attention and help with
any questions. If you cant
handle a specific exercise,
they give you a variation to
try.
Aside fromthe workout,
LaBar said he enjoys the
community aspect of Cross-
Fit the most.
When you join CrossFit,
especially ours, we focus on
creating friendship. The
bonds make people better
athletes and it prepares them
for anything and everything
in and out of the gym, La-
Bar said.
According to Kettel,
CrossFit is always compet-
itive because you have peo-
ple who will cheer you on
and want to beat you at the
same time.
CrossFit is not sport
specific. Weve had amateur
and professional wrestlers,
baseball, football, track and
field athletes and everyday
people who seek to get fit
and healthy, Kettel said.
The cost for full gym
access and to join CrossFit
totals of $59.95 per month.

Den or at www.browns-

SOUTHABINGTONTWP.- ASouth
Abington business will soon close its doors
after nearly 20 years of business.
The Blockbuster store at 1141Northern
Blvd., South Abington Twp. will close Jan.
20, according to Stephanie Kopet, a market-
ing executive for the video rental chain.
The lease for this location expired at the
end of November and that is the reason
were closing this location, Kopet said via
email.
The store, which opened in1995, is clear-
ing out its now-discounted inventory, in-
cluding all shelving and other fixtures. The
discounts began in mid-December, she said.
Employees will be offered a position
based off of their desire to relocate and
position availability at the other store in the
area, Kopet added.
The region has seen similar closings of
Blockbuster locations in recent years. Only
two stores remain in the area, according to
Kopet. The closest is in Scranton at 395
Meridian Ave. The other store is located in
Hanover Twp. in Luzerne County.
David ONeill, South Abington Township
manager, said he thinks the building that
housed Blockbuster will soon have a new
tenant.
I havent heard anything for the future of
the building, he said. Typically spaces
such as that which are in the prime location
go pretty quickly. Hopefully it will be filled
immediately.

While some local water-
ways may appear ready for
ice fishing, Walter Dietz,
Pennsylvania Fish and Boat
Commission Regional Ou-
treach & Education Coor-
dinator, Sweet Valley, ad-
vises anglers to insure they
test the ice along the shore-
lines and along the way as
they head out to their fishing
spot.
Some of the waterways
have early ice on them. Ive
even seen anglers on a few
waterways; however its a bit
scary in my opinion. Weve
had a few days of really cold
air temps, but thicker ice has
not had a lot of time to
form, said Dietz. Plus
there may be a heavy blan-
ket of snow over ice that is
insulating it and keeping it
from forming thicker ice.
Ice conditions will vary
depending on where you
live; according to Dietz.
Waterways up in Wayne
and Susquehanna County
may be starting to get decent
ice, while those down here
in Luzerne and Columbia
County have only thin ice.
For ice safety information,
refer to the PA Fish and Boat
Commissions Ice Safety
Tips for Anglers, or visit
Ice Safety Page: fishand-
boat.com/safety.htm; Ice

PLAY Newsletter: fishand-
boat.com/anglerboater/
play/2011play/01win-
ter2011play.htm.
The Pennsylvania Fish and
Boat Commission reminded
anglers of the dangers of ice
fishing and offers the fol-
lowing safety precautions.
For more information re-
garding ice safety, visit
fishandboat.com/safety.htm.
* When arriving at the
waters edge, anglers should
visually survey the ice.
Look for open water areas,
and look for signs of recent
changes in water levels. Ice
sloping down from the bank
because the water level
dropped, or wet areas on the
ice because the water level
rose, can be an indicator of
a very dangerous condition.
* Listen for loud cracks
or booms coming from the
ice. This can indicate dete-
riorating ice.
* Look for clear blue ice.
New ice is stronger than old
ice and usually has a blue
tint.
* Remember that ice
thickness is not consistent.
* Beware of ice around
partially submerged objects
such as trees, brush, em-
bankments or structures. Ice
will not form as quickly
where water is shallow or
where objects may absorb
sunlight.
* A lifejacket or float
coat should be worn at all
times while on the ice.
* Anglers should use an
ice staff to probe ahead of
them. If the ice staff punch-
es through then the anglers
should retreat back to shore
slowly.
* Anglers should always
carry a pair of ice awls in
the case that they do go
through the ice so they can
self-rescue.
* Anglers should never
go out on ice that has
formed over moving water
such as a river or stream.
* Anglers should never
go out on ice alone.
* Anglers should always
let someone know plans
and expected return.
Walter Dietz, Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission Regional Outreach & Education Coordinator, Sweet Valley, advises anglers to insure
they test the ice along the shorelines and along the way as they head out to their fishing spot. Shown is an area of Lackawanna State Park.

Thirty budding
thespians took to the
Dietrich stage last
week as the theater
launched a new season
of After School Theat-
re Arts (ASTA) under
the direction of drama
coach and Dietrich The-
ater Executive Director
Jennifer Jenkins. During
the first week of After
School Theatre Arts, mid-
dle school and high school
students started to learn
what theatre is, played ice-
breaker games and participa-
ted in theatre exercises. These
exercises focused on enuncia-
tion, teamwork, concentration
and listening. Students also
auditioned for parts in their
upcoming show. What is so
great about After School The-
atre Arts is that everyone who
auditions gets a part and the
skills they learn in the class
will be useful throughout their
lives. We would like to thank
Wells Fargo, Fern and Bob
Boyce, the Overlook Estate
Foundation and the Penn-
sylvania Council on the Arts
for sponsoring this free pro-
gram.
In addition to theatre arts,
the Dietrich will focus on
literature with our upcoming
Wyoming County Reads
project. Now is the time to
borrow, buy or download a
copy of this years selection
Ragtime by E.L. Doctorow.
We invite you to join us for
all of the events associated
with Wyoming County
Reads. We will start off the
project with a free concert at
WVIAs Sordoni Theatre
Sunday, Jan. 27 at 3 p.m.
During this special event,
pianist Gary Boerckel, host of
Music to My Ears on
WVIA-FM, and soprano Ber-
nadette Boerckel will perform
rags from the 1890s to the
1990s, narrating the story of
the rise and revival of one of
Americas most enduring
musical styles. Featured selec-
tions include music by Scott
Joplin, Zez Confrey, William
Bolcom and excerpts from the
musical Ragtime based on the
E.L. Doctorow novel. The
program will be recorded for
later radio broadcast and a
light reception will follow.
Admission is free to Ragtime
From Barrelhouse to Broad-
way and it has been sponsored
by the Apple Wagon Antique
Mall and Sandy & Ron Viec-
zorek. Free transportation will
be provided from the Dietrich
Theater to WVIAs Media
Center. The bus will depart
the Dietrich at 1:30 p.m. Res-
ervations are required. Please

to the Clarks Summit artist. Inspira-
tion for many pieces of art she has
created comes from a variety of
sources, including places she has
traveled, such as Burano, an island
near Venice.
When she takes those photographic
images back to her glass-enclosed
studio, which is flooded with natural
light, the process of sketching, plan-
ning and painting begins. Cunning-
ham described the emotions she feels
when she is painting: Being im-
mersed in a painting is focused,
thought- provoking work that is also
blissfully satisfying.
Clarks Summit Second Friday Art
Walk featured artist, Cunningham
will exhibit her pastels at Sonias
Contemporary Clothing, 120 South
State St. Jan. 11.
I think its the greatest feeling to
see the color come on to the surface
and then as I add more layers to the
surface, watch the image evolve. Its
an amazing feeling to watch as every
shape and stroke of color becomes
something that I envisioned.
Cunningham discovered pastels
approximately four years ago.
Though she has also painted in oils,
the artist partial to pastels for several
reasons: texture, variety
of colors available and
convenience of work-
ing with a dry medium.
Because I dont
have an opportunity to
paint full time, I can
leave it and come back
to it. I could pick up
wherever I left off, she
said.
While she described
her artistic style as
realism, in some of her
work she said she bor-
ders on a painterly
approach, in which
she adds her own artis-
tic style. Her repertoire
encompasses still life;
townscapes; landscapes
Pastel works by Lisa Cunningham are shown.

joined the fun, I think youll
be captivated and want to

piece.
Does your child or grand-
child love to read and/or
create his or her own sto-
ries? If so, a writing contest
under the auspices of PBS
(our local station, WVIA)

Celeste Cali will facilitate
this months discussion and
the concluding discussion of
this book will occur Feb. 23
with me, Mary Hart, as the
facilitator.
And so this ends with
hopes that you will find that
some or maybe all of
these activities will provide
an impetus to visit our li-
brary. Our staff is always
willing to help you find
answers to your questions
about good books to read or

Books by women authors
top the list of novels added as
the new year begins at the
Abington Community Library.
Look for the following addi-
tions:
The Childs Child, by
Ruth Rendell writing as Bar-
bara Vine. This novel-within-
a-novel is about brothers and
sisters and about the violence
that can be provoked by socie-
tys taboos. Grace and An-
drew Easton inherit Dinmont
House from their grandmother
and move into the house to-
gether, an ideal arrangement
until novelist James Derain,
Andrews friend, arrives. Tur-
moil sets in at Dinmont House
and Grace escapes into read-
ing a manuscript, a long lost
novel about a brother and
sister born just at the close of
World War I. Their disgrace
uncannily mirrors that of the
present-day siblings.
The Buzzard Table, by
Margaret Maron. Judge Deb-
orah Knott, her husband, Dep-
uty Dwight Bryant, and Lt.
Sigrid Harald, visiting from
New York, are faced with a
string of suspicious murders
that sets Colleton County,
North Carolina on edge. Just
who is the enigmatic Martin
Crawford, who claims to be
the long-lost nephew of Deb-
orahs friend, Mrs. Lattimore?
And do the long-buried Latti-
more family secrets have any-
thing to do with the murders?
The Shortest Way Home,
by Juliette Fay. Sean returns to
Belham, Massachusetts after
spending twenty years in the
Third World and must interact
with his steely aunt, his overly
dramatic sister, and his quirky
nephew, in addition to recon-
necting with a woman from
his past. He has to wonder if
the bonds of love and loyalty
might just rewrite his destiny.
Centerville, by Karen
Osborne. On a Saturday after-
noon in 1967, Centerville, a
sleepy Midwestern town, is
changed forever by one devas-
tating explosion. Set against
the backdrop of the civil
rights movement and the esca-
lating Vietnam War, the book
tells the story of how four
lives become entwined, as the
townspeople face sudden loss
and new realities.

Kaylors works, which

Kaylors finely crafted

wants to do us harm.
While the district is com-
mitted to improving its secu-
rity measures, Mahon be-
lieves that all decisions
should be carefully thought
out.
We do want to make
improvements and be sensi-
tive about how to keep our
kids safe at school, but we
dont want to make hasty,
bad decisions, he said. We
recognize there has to be a
comprehensive approach to
increasing student safety.
Mahon warned about the
danger of what some
schools are now doing in the
aftermath of the latest shoot-
ing, including active shooter
drills.
We cannot make our kids
afraid to come to school,
Mahon said. We cannot
overreact and take actions
that make kids frightened.
Our effort is to do meaning-
ful things, but not frighten
our kids from coming to
school.
According to Mahon, the
district has been taking steps
to ensure that potential prob-
lems are solved in the best
possible manner.
We have been training
our staff and administration
over the past two or three
years in conflict resolution
and de-escalation tech-
niques, Mahon said. Our
hope is that as we continue
to train people, we will be
able to deal with those kinds
of things in a better way, and
lower the pressure as op-
posed to increasing it.
Mahon added the district
is exploring the opportunity
to offer mental health
screenings to help identify
problems before they be-
come greater.
According to Mahon,
Robert Bugno, Principal of
Newton Ransom and South
Abington Elementary
schools, said the best way to
prevent problems is to find
the children now who are
detached, bullied, odd, or
removed, and better include
them in our school commu-
nity.
In other business, Mahon
discussed his concern that
the districts charter school,
Howard Gardner, could take
students away from the dis-
trict, if they continue to cut
programs such as Mandarin
Chinese and Latin.
They had the wisdom to
take exactly what we were
doing here and run with it,
while we failed, as adults, to
figure out a way to keep it
here, despite no lack of or
resources from the school
board, Mahon said regard-
ing the Mandarin Chinese
program which was elim-
inated at the end of the 2011-
12 school year after the dis-
tricts teachers union won a
labor dispute.
SECURITY
JERMYN- Martin Lambert,
a senior at Lakeland High
School, recently experienced
firsthand the communications
operations in one of the big-
gest media markets in the
country.
Lambert, along with three
other students from his En-
glish class, Brian Pember,
Margaret Mary Markowski
and William Demyan, traveled
to New York City with their
teacher, Evelyn Burke. Lam-
bert operated broadcast cam-
eras at the Current TV studio.
I want to go into film mak-
ing and communications after
high school, Lambert said.
It was a cool experience.
According to Burke, teach-
ers are allowed to take mem-
bers of their class on a field
trip for either future careen
purposes or to expand on the
lessons they are studying.
All four students are musi-
cians and are interested in
pursuing careers in film or
television media, Burke said.
I drove them to New York
City and we met with a for-
mer student, Jenna Trojnacki,
who works at Current TV, and
she gave us a tour of the stu-
dio.
According to Lambert, the
students were shown exactly
what it takes to produce a
quality program.
I learned the depth of the
communications industry, he
said. When you are watching
television, you dont realize
how much really goes into it
and how many people and
jobs it takes to execute
smoothly.
The students also oversaw
sound production in the stu-
dio. According to Burke, the
students were shown how
background music is incorpo-
rated into television programs.
It was all things that Im
interested in, Lambert said.
To see it in application was
really surreal.
After graduation, Lambert
hopes to attend Ithaca College
in New York to study film

The Montdale resident has
been interested in films even
since he was a young child.
Ive wanted to go into film
production for as long as I can
remember, Lambert said. I
think the first time I tried to
make a movie I was about five
years old. Its always been
what I wanted to do.
Lambert has participated in
the theater department at La-
keland during his high school
career.
Ive acted in the school
plays during the past few
years and have worked on the
tech crew, he said.
Lambert, 18, is the son of
Angela and Mike Lambert.

At a recent Faith First
Educational Assistance
Corporation award cere-
mony, generosity was on
the rise. Faith First Educa-
tional Assistance Corpora-
tion is an organization that
brings together families,
schools and businesses so
local communities can
benefit fromschool choice
programs, namely scholar-
ship assistance for private
Christian schools, Pre-K
through12th grades.
The story begins with
two moms who share a
church, a private school and a deep sense of gratitude.
Alexandria Jackson , momof two girls had applied for tuition
aide, but her application was delayed and her family was not going
to be awarded funding fromFaith First Educational Assistance
Corporation at their 7th Annual Scholarship Awards Programto be
held at Summit Christian Academy in Clark Summit. The applica-
tion was turned in on time, but the necessary documentation which
would have rendered the family eligible was received too late.
Shannon Parry, a momof four who also applied for funding and
was present at the awards program, was scheduled to receive two
scholarships for her school-age sons. Parry asked the Director of
Faith First Educational Assistance Corporation, Dr. Alberta C.
Wilson, if she could sacrifice one scholarship for one of her sons so
that Jacksons family could receive a scholarship for their daughter
for this school year. The request was approved. When Parry was
asked why she would sacrifice her second award during such tight
times, she said, It was the right thing to do.
Faith First Educational Assistance Corporation is supported via
the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program(EITC) by local
businesses such as Penn Security Bank and Trust, The Dime Bank,
WAWA, Inc. and others. For more information visit http://

In an age of unpreceden-
ted violence directed at
children, often by children,
psychologists, religious
leaders, teachers, psychia-
trists, and nurses agree:
compassion can and must
be taught. Indraloka Ani-
mal Sanctuary, based in
Mehoopany, teaches com-
passion in northeast Pa.
Hosting area school
groups, including students
from Scranton High
School, Scranton Prep,
Abington Heights and pri-
vate childrens clubs, In-
draloka helps children of
all ages understand the
value of life.
In his book Compassion
Made Easy, Northwestern
psychology professor Dr.
David DeSteno found that
humans frequently find it
easier to feel compassion
for animals because of ani-
mals ability to display
unconditional love. Once
children begin to develop
deeper compassion towards
animals, that compassion
can be expanded to include
humans more and more,
even humans who are con-
sidered difficult to em-
pathize with.
At Indraloka, students
from pre-K through high
school learn about farm
animals, the environment
and the choices they make
daily to contribute to their
own health and a kinder,
greener world, while inter-
acting with the once-fright-
ened but now calm and
loving animal residents of
Indraloka.
So much of what we do
in our everyday lives in-
volves degrees of stress and
at such a quick pace, said
Mike Freidlin, science
teacher at Abington
Heights and faculty advisor
for the popular 8th-12th
grade ecology clubs. The
time we spend at Indraloka
Animal Sanctuary is quite
the opposite. The animals
remind us of what is most
important...compassion,
sincerity, friendship and
patience. Their pace is de-
liberate and with purpose.
As an educator of many
years, I can, with genuine
honesty, claim that the time
I have spent with my stu-
dents in the company of the
animals at Indraloka is as
valuable a classroom lesson
as any I have ever given.
What we take from the
sanctuary are lessons
quickly incorporated into
our own lives, and not soon
forgotten.
Marie Donnelly, a teacher
at Scranton Prep added,
My students learned not
only about the conditions in
which animals lived prior
to coming to the sanctuary,
but also how much work it
takes to keep the animals
healthy and happy.
Donnelly, who also serves
as faculty advisor for the
schools Students for the
Ethical Treatment of Ani-
mals club, said behavioral
change in her students has
begun because of their visit
to Indraloka. The students
worked directly with the
animals. Talking about
their [the students] role in
the life and death of ani-
mals is a bit easier now,
Donnelly added.
Indraloka sits on 30 acres
of Mehoopany farmland,
and contains four barns and
numerous smaller structur-
es that house 160 animals,
including horses, pigs of all
sizes and breeds, cows,
mules, sheep, goats, chick-
ens, turkeys, cats, geese,
ducks, three dogs and one
peacock.
Indraloka also provides
workshops and events on
numerous topics. On Janu-
ary 13, the sanctuary will
host Family Storytelling,
an afternoon of traditional
Native American and new
tales about animals told
around a bonfire, coupled
with an introduction to the
animals at the sanctuary,
and including hot cider and
treats. For those looking for
a workshop closer to home,
Learn to Talk with Your
Animal Friends, a four-
week course, will be of-
fered by the sanctuary at
Everything Natural in
Clarks Summit on Sunday
afternoons during the last
two weeks of February and
first two weeks of March.
In keeping with Indralo-
kas mission to foster re-
spect and care for the envi-
ronment as well as animals,
Marywood University ar-
chitect students, led by
assistant professor of archi-
tecture Kate OConnor,
employ sustainable building
methods when creating
additional structures for the
sanctuarys growing res-
cued animal population.
Local organizations that
provide instrumental sup-
port to Indraloka include
P&G, Everything Natural
in Clarks Summit, Mary-
wood University and the
ASPCA.

RESIDUAL EFFECTS
If the injury you suffered in an accident left any long-lasting effects, it could signif-
cantly affect your damages award. For instance, residual injury such as scarring
or chronic back pain can boost damages awards because they will adversely affect
injured individuals for many years to come. The more serious the disfgurement or
injury effect, the higher the damages can be expected to be. Long-lasting injury effects
do not necessarily have to be clearly visible to pose the potential for further com-
pensation. Emotional injuries can also be compensated. While emotional injuries are
more diffcult to demonstrate, a capable attorney can help accumulate proof that stress,
embarrassment over physical injuries, depression, and strains on family relationships
have been experienced.
Determining the damages awarded for residual injuries can be a complex and subtle
process. Thats why you need to call me. My name is Amil M. Minora and I have
spent years dealing with all aspects of personal injury law so that I can provide you
with the representation that you need to get the money that you deserve. And remem-
ber, Im happy to take these cases on a contingency basis, which means you dont pay
until you win. Please call (570) 961-1616 to schedule a free initial appointment to
discuss the merits of your case. My address is 700 Vine St., Scranton. Im here
to help.

HINT: It is now widely accepted that accident victims suffer from post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD), which can exert lasting emotional effects.

December is the month of
giving and spending time with
loved ones. Troop 160 wanted
to participate in the holiday
cheer by giving back to its
community. Two Eagle Scout
projects took place this
month. There are community
service projects that are com-
pletely organized by boy
scouts. Planning, organizing
and completing a project is
one requirement to earn the
rank of Eagle Scout. The first
project took place Dec. 8. It
was operated by Andre Ca-
mayd. The project took place
in a section of the Lackawan-
na River in Jermyn. The pur-
pose was to clean up the area
surrounding the river. There
was a large amount of trash
within the small area. The
trash consisted of televisions,
beds, tires, furniture, grocery
carts, signs and much more.
Although it was cold, the
scouts worked hard and were
able to really improve the
area.
There was another Eagle
project this month. Michael
Parry operated his project at
the Newton Recreational Cen-
ter Dec. 15. He led several
scouts in the painting of the
buildings exercise room. The
rooms paint had become
faded and was peeling off.
The scouts scraped off a lot of
the bad paint and added sever-
al coats of beige paint to the
walls. It was amazing how a
new coat of paint improves a
room. The scouts worked hard
and were able to play some
basketball upstairs when they
were finished. Overall, Troop
160 tries to show that it appre-
ciates their community.
This month, Troop 160 held
elections for various lead-
ership positions. Scouts hold
these titles for a year and need
them to advance in rank. It
teaches them myriad of skills
and encourages responsibility.
New patrol leaders were
picked and five new patrols
were formed. The names of
the new patrols are the Black
Mambas, Duck Tape Patrol,
No Exit Patrol, Medallion
Patrol and the Hiii Power
Patrol. The scouts in these
patrols will be together until
elections in another year.
Concluding the year was
Troop 160s White Elephant
Holiday Party. At this event,
scouts bring gag gifts and
exchange them randomly with
other scouts. The presents are
very creative and entice
laughter among the boys.
Once all of the gifts are ex-
changed, we consume a varie-
ty of cookies and snacks.
Troop 160 wishes that ev-
eryone had a great holiday
and a wonderful new year.
Remember a scout is courte-
ous.

the bank charges fees for such
inquiries. He said the super-
visors will have to decide if it is
worth the expense.
Auriemma said he does not
want to be involved in the mat-
ter, but is simply the messenger
informing the supervisors of the
lists existence. He said, howev-
er, My personal feeling is...to
find out what happened is mon-
ey well spent.
Scacchitti said he will look
into it if given a copy of the list.
Resident Hank Rowinski
agreed with Auriemma, Right
nowweve got so much egg on
our face, I think we should take
a little extra effort to resolve
some of these questions that
people have. And if its a matter
of spending some money to
look into Bills questions, I
really think we should do that.
And this way, were all get-
ting along, were doing what
were supposed to do to resolve
this and get beyond, he said,
referring to the recent theft case
involving township funds, and a
plea at last months meeting
fromScacchitti for the township
residents to turn the page and
move on.
And the only way we are
going to do this, Rowinski
continued, is by answering
peoples questions. Its probably
something very simple in book-
keeping, but we should all know
that.

ship held its reorganization for

SALVATION ARMY BELL
RINGING REPORT
It was announced close to
$10,000 was collected by
Rotary Club of the Abingtons
during their bell-ringing at the
Wine and Spirits Store in
Clarks Summit during the
month of December. This tops
last years collection. A huge
thank you to all who partici-
pated in the bell-ringing, or
donated. It was the first year I
did this that I can honestly say
I may have gotten sunburned
and truly didnt need a winter
coat! My personal favorite
observations: a mother of
three young boys who lined
them up and dutifully gave
each of them a $1 bill to put
into the kettle for charity;
another woman who asked me
to help her out of her car and
handed me a folded up bill for
my help for the kettle. It was a
$20. People are so amazing
and generous.
HEAD START GIFTS

We collected gifts for 74

TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9, 2013
SPORTS
CLARKSSUMMIT Focus and mental tough-
ness. These are two qualities successful athletes in
virtually every sport possess. Senior Abington
Heights wrestler Mike Carr (Clarks Summit) is no
exception.
Its early into the high school season, but Carr is
already looking forward to a return to the state com-
petition.
Carr has good reasons to be confident. As a junior,
he posted a 40-8 record at the152-pound weight
class. He also placed second in the district competi-
tion, third in the regional competition and qualified
for states.
Carr did not place in the state competition, but said
the experience of competing at that level was eye-
opening.
When you get to that level, everyone has a differ-
ent mental approach, Carr said. I didnt have that
mentality that Imgoing to beat this kid into the
groundAt states, whoever is more aggressive
wins.
This year, Carr said he has matured and takes a
different mindset into each match.
Losing is not on my mind, Carr said. I dont
even worry anymore. I step on the mat, let instinct
take over and I knowImgoing to win.
So far his approach has paid off. Carr is10-1on the
season and has the best winning percentage on the
teamand second-most wins, behind junior Greg
Pascales11-2 start.
Carr credited his change in attitude to opening up
his offensive game as well.
If Imthe one making the moves, I take control,
Carr said. If you get the first shot, that sets the tone
for the rest of the match.
Abington Heights head coach Chris Calder said
Carrs attitude has not only improved his individual
game, but also helped himbecome a better leader on
the team.
Hes grown up quite a bit, Calder said. He helps
the younger guys focus and is the teamplayer every-
one needs.
Mike Carr is not the only one in his family who
wrestles. His younger brothers, freshman Nick Carr
and junior Matt Carr, are also on the teamand Mike
Carr said he has seen the two develop, especially
Matt, with whomhe spars.
[Matt is] pound for pound, just as strong as I am
and quicker, Carr said. I see himreaching states.
Carrs parents have been supportive of all their
sons interest in wrestling, paying for various sum-
mer clinics, wrestling camps and tournaments. Carr
said his father set up a wrestling gymwith every-
thing you can think of in the basement.
Upon graduation, Carr plans to attend Navy boot
camp at Naval Station Great Lakes located near
North Chicago, Ill., and enter Navy Seal training.
Carr still has the better part of his final high school
wrestling season. He stands at 85 wins in his career
and is quickly closing in on the100-win milestone.
Carr said he has his eye on a different goal.
[Getting to100 wins] is nice to say, but Immore
focused on placing in the state tournament, Carr
said. If I get 100 wins on the way, its just a bonus.
Mike Carr defeated Delaware Valleys Dan Favaro, 5-1,
in a 170-pound match Jan. 3.
A.H. Comets senior
dominates on the mat
BY CORY BURRELL
Dan LaMagnas first experience in semi-profes-
sional football was with the Scranton Eagles in
1996. Six years of playing football with the Scran-
ton Eagles and Wilkes-Barre Blaze led to a few
tryouts in the Arena and Canadian Football League
before injuries led LaMagna into coaching.
Entering his 17th year of semi-professional foot-
ball and seventh year with the North East Penn-
sylvania (NEPA) Miners, LaMagna was elected by
Minor League Football Hall of Fame Director
Dick Suess to be inducted by a 10- person board
into the 2013 Minor League Football Hall of Fame
class.
Head coaching positions with the Scranton Ea-
gles, Southern Tier Green Machine and the Miners
and seasons as an Assistant Coach with Lackawan-
na College motivated LaMagna to obtain a Mas-
ters degree at East Stroudsburg University in Sport
Management.
Minor League Football News (MLFN) was
founded in1994 as a printed eight- page newsletter.
The Hall of Fame was started in 2004 with the
first induction ceremony held in Las Vegas.
The 2013 class, consisting of 11inductees from
around the country, will be honored at the Minor
League Football Hall of Fame Banquet in Las
Vegas, Nevada Jan. 10, 2014 followed by a Semi-
Professional Football All-Star Game the following
day in which LaMagna will assist.

SCRANTON- Abington Heights came
out with a plan, and executed it to near
perfection.
The Comets hit four 3-pointers and
scored 25 first quarter points during their
61-52 win over Scranton Prep in a Lacka-
wanna League Division 1 high school bas-
ketball opener Jan. 4 at the St. Francis
Xavier Center.
Comets senior guard Kevin Elwell,
scored 8 of his 15 points in the quarter, to
spark the early run.
The plan from the beginning was to
shoot them out of the 1-3-1 zone that they
were playing, Elwell said. We came out
and were confident with our shots. Weve
been working on them all through practice,
and it paid off.
Elwell believes the teams balanced scor-
ing was a big factor in the victory. Three
players scored in double figures, while T.J.
Murray scored eight points and Jason
Bamford added five.
It was very important, he said. Every-
one was looking to pass the ball, and we
were looking to get the best shot on each
possession.
Abington Heights scored 7 of the games
first 9 points, and led 25-13 at the end of
the first quarter.
We just needed to get off to a good
start, Abington Heights senior guard Ja-
mie Egan said. Once we did, we had the
momentum and we once hit a few more
shots everything opened up.
Scranton Prep started the second quarter
on a 7-4 run, but Elwell and Egan each
made a 3-pointer for the Comets to limit
the damage.
I told them at practice yesterday,
Youre gonna get shots, youve got to
make them, and they did, Abington
Heights head coach Ken Bianchi said.
Scranton Prep began the third quarter on
a 6-0 run and James Fives and Matt Know-
les each scored five points in the third
quarter to pull the Cavaliers within 7
points of the lead.
Bianchi credited the Scranton Prep de-
fense for making things difficult for the
Comets offensively after the first quarter.
They wouldnt allow us to do some of
the things that we wanted, he said. We
just turned the ball over too many times.
You cant come down and not even get a
shot. That enabled them to cut into the
lead.
After a technical foul call on the Abing-
ton Heights bench midway through the
fourth quarter, Prep scored four unanswer-
ed points to cut the Comets lead to 50-47.
Comets guard J.C. Show, who finished
with a game-high 19 points, converted a
bank shot with 2:25 left in the game.
J.C. hit a big one that gave us a little
breathing room, and then we were able to
build on it, Bianchi said.
Abington Heights converted 11 of 13 free
throw attempts in the fourth quarter to seal
the win.
Matt Knowles and Noah Beh led Scran-
ton Prep with 14 points each. Mac Temples
added nine points and two assists.
