SCRANTON- David M. Rana-
koski, Scranton, waived his right
to a preliminary hearing Sept. 1
at the Lackawanna County
Courthouse
and was sent
back to the
Lackawanna
Country Pris-
on.
Ranakoski,
17, was
charged
Aug.18 with
homicide by vehicle, aggravated
assault, possession of a con-
trolled substance, driving under
the influence of alcohol or a
controlled substance, driving a
vehicle at unsafe speeds and
driving while operating privi-
leges are suspended or revoked,
according to a criminal com-
plaint filed with District Magist-
rate James Gibbons.
Ranakoski was the alleged
driver of a Ford Focus that
struck a Jeep on Dark Region
Road in RansomTownship in
May. The crash caused the Jeep
to burst into flames, killing
22-month-old Cole Thomas
Hazelton.
Lackawanna County Deputy
District Attorney Robert Klein
said the next step in the case will
be a pre-trial conference in
about six weeks.
Ranakoskis attorney, Gerald
Karam, declined to comment
when leaving the courthouse.
Members of the Hazelton
family voiced their displeasure
about the proceedings to Klein
outside the courthouse.
The family is understandably
extremely concerned and up-
set, Klein said. I cant make
themwhole again by bringing
Cole back. If they have to yell at
me, so be it, but we just have to
move the trial forward.

W
hen city folks arrived at the Kiwanis Wyoming County Fairgrounds this weekend on Route 6, Meshoppen, the
first thing they were likely to notice were the parking attendants on horseback. Its charming. Its bucolic. It
makes you feel like youve finally arrived in cowboy country. Its also practical and safer, fair volunteer
Marge Singer said. Plenty of other opportunities were offered to soak up the rural atmosphere and, at least for a while,
forget the world of office high-rises and honking horns at the 26th annual event with demolition derby, lawnmower
racing, high-school rodeo and two stages of entertainment.
For those who would missed it or cant get enough, Luzerne County Fair begins Sept. 7 and continues through Sept.
11.For details, call 760.7999.

CLARKSSUMMIT- For a majority
of Americans, the events that happened
Tuesday, September 11, 2001will be
forever engrained in their memories.
The tragedy of four coordinated
suicide attacks by al-Qaeda which took
the lives of thousands, had a profound
effect on many, and for Kathleen
Walsh it reignited a passion.
The Clarks Summit resident said she
was an avid writer for years, but had
stopped shortly after college.
She was moved to put pen to paper
on Sept. 13, 2001when she wrote the
poemThe Day The World Turned

Clarks Summit resident Kathleen Walsh is

ed in the September 20, 2001 edition of

Weis Markets, located at 1020 North-
ern Blvd., South Abington Twp., has
been a staple of the Rotary of the Abing-
tons Taste of the Abingtons, since its
inception. The event is scheduled this
year for Sept. 25.
Weis has been included in the event
every year, and the store hopes to contin-
ue this tradition for years to come.
Its an excellent community event,
said store manager Bill Briganti. We get
to see all of our customers, make some
new acquaintances, and it gives us an
opportunity to showcase our store and
what it offers the people.
Its also a good local thing for the
Rotary. They do a lot of wonderful
things, and I know this is a big fundraiser
for them, so were just glad to be a par-
ticipant.
Briganti said the last few years Weis
Market has served a variety of meats and
cheeses, and will do the same this year.
Weve done the cheeses and meats in
prior years and it seems to go over well.
It lets us introduce all of the specialty
meats and cheese for the upcoming holi-
days and football platters, said Briganti.

CALENDAR
Editor:
Nowthat the debt ceiling has
been raised and the debt default
has been avoided at least until
after the 2012 presidential elec-
tion to President Obamas ad-
vantage, its time for the Demo-
crats and Republicans to stop
the vicious rhetoric between
the both parties and get serious
about doing what is right for all
the American citizens that
elected and sent themto Wash-
ington, D.C. to do just that.
Its debatable which party is
more to blame for the serious
financial debt this country has
accumulated during the course
of many years, and is still con-
tinuing to get bigger, but the
fact of the matter is that both
parties are to blame, not just
the Republicans as the main-
streamAmerican columnists
and radio and TVreporters are
saying it is. Both political par-
ties have the perfect chance and
opportunity nowto come to-
gether for the common good in
a bipartisan way to get the huge
financial debt this country has
nowunder control before it
goes over the cliff its headed
for because of this countrys
past and current political repre-
sentatives actions.
I hope all our elected repre-
sentatives in Washington will
nowcome to their senses and
realize that if they continue to
allowthis country to stay on
the path its been on, that
theyre to blame for what will
eventually happen in the future.
God help all of us if it does
happen.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Editor,
When you go on a road trip,
you need to followthe signs to
arrive at the right place. Going
online can be very much the
same. Look for the .gov at
the end of the web address. If it
isnt .gov, it isnt the real Social
Security website, which is
www.socialsecurity.gov.
Countless consumers nation-
wide are victimized each year
by misleading advertisers who
use Social Security or
Medicare to entice the public
to use their services. In many
cases, these companies offer
Social Security services for a
fee, even though the same ser-
vices are available directly from
Social Security, free of charge.
These services include up-
dating a Social Security card to
showa brides married name,
replacing a Social Security card
and getting a Social Security
number for a child.
These for-profit businesses
may cleverly design their web-
sites, so when people use In-
ternet search engines, their
advertisement pops up. They
may even make their advertise-
ment look similar to the real
Social Security website. Some
of these sites, at first glance,
appear to be affiliated with
Social Security, but upon closer
examination, these are for-
profit companies charging
individuals for a service that is
provided free by Social Securi-
ty.
For instance, a quick Google
search on replacing a Social
Security card brings up paid
advertisements for websites
that charge a fee just to get an
application for a newcard. That
service is absolutely free from
Social Security.
The lawthat deals specifical-
ly with misleading Social Secu-
rity and Medicare advertising
prohibits people or non-govern-
ment organizations, like for-
profit businesses, fromusing
words or emblems that mislead
others. Their advertising cannot
lead people to believe that they
represent or are somehowaffil-
iated with or endorsed or ap-
proved by Social Security or
the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (Medicare).
But that doesnt stop advertis-
ers fromtrying.
For more information, What
You Need to Knowabout Mis-
leading Advertising at
www.socialsecurity.gov/
pubs/10005.html.
When visiting www.socialse-
curity.gov, make sure you look
for the .gov sign along the
way. And remember: If it isnt
.gov, it isnt Social Security.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2011 THE ABINGTON JOURNALCLARKS SUMMIT, PA WWW.THEABINGTONJOURNAL.COM PAGE 3A
CLARKSGREEN- Newto St.
Gregorys Church in Clarks
Green, Rev. John Lapera comes
to the Abingtons believing the
community to be, wonderfully
gifted and with a warmspirit
and special hospitality.
Beginnings and endings
remind us of our vulnerability.
The Paschal Mystery of Christ
carries the truth that life is frag-
ile, there is always some dying
in living and that change is
inevitable. I knowthere is an
ache in everyones heart with
the personal goodbyes for Mon-
signor (John) Louis, with many
other losses our Church now
suffers and with your personal
losses at home. Sometimes we
choose our goodbyes, and
sometimes they choose us. The
latter makes it all the more diffi-
cult. Our task nowis to invest in
the present and look down the
road with the strength of good
memories pressing us all for-
ward, Rev. Lapera stated in a
letter to his parishioners at St.
Gregorys Church.
Born and raised in Carbon-
dale, Rev. Laperas formal edu-
cation includes being a graduate
of The University of Scranton
and Catholic University in
Washington, D.C. where he did
his seminary training. He was
ordained in1984. When asked
why he chose his vocation, he
said, Words cannot adequately
capture personal feelings or
define why. Something inside
kept nudging me to begin the
discernment process. Seminary
formation, support of friends
and family, and Gods Spirit did
the rest.
Since Rev. Laperas ordina-
tion, he was assigned to the
diocese of Scranton to Nativity
Church as an assistant pastor
from1984 until 1988. He then
continued to reside at Nativity
until 1994 and worked at The
Chancery for the diocese in the
Renewoffice and the office for
Parish Life.
Rev. Lapera then traveled to
Minooka where he served as
pastor for ten years at St. Jo-
sephs Church. While there, he
was instrumental in building a
newparish center. Upon his
departure fromSt. Josephs
Church, he traveled South to
Kingston where he spent six
years at St. Ignatius Church,
serving as pastor. He said he is
most proud of howhe was able
to foster a real strong social
justice programwhere he and
his parish supported members
of the community who might
need spiritual, material support
even food and shelter.
This July, Rev. Lapera arrived
at St. Gregorys. He said, I
really would like to spend the
year in study and observation
and decide with the parishioners
what programs well begin.
Were really blessed with young
families committed to the par-
ish, and I would like to foster a
feeling where all families are
welcome. I encourage every-
ones participation in Sunday
mass.
Rev. Lapera invited anyone in
the community interested in
getting involved with the church
or serving in any capacity to call
himat 570.587.4808.

GLENBURN- It was a few
years ago after reading an arti-
cle in the newspaper about
some puppies born at the Grif-
fin Pond Animal Shelter, that
Chef Michael Bodner of Pat-
sels in Glenburn said he first
had the idea to organize a fun-
draiser for the shelter.
Since then, the restaurant has
hosted Going to the Dogs, a
Lavish Cocktail Gala every
other year, this year to be the
third. The event is set for Sept.
11 at 5 p.m. at Patsels, which is
located on Routes 6 and 11.
Bodner said Patsels hosts
many fundraisers each year, but
he wanted to do one for the
dogs.
I know how much Pat (At-
kins) loves dogs, and so do I,
he said. Pat Atkins, co-owner
of the restaurant, said her
whole team runs the event out
of a love for animals. She said,
The animal shelter is a vital
part of the community that we
all need to support.
Bodner also said it is impor-
tant to him to do what he can
for the animals. Warren Reed,
Executive Director of the shel-
ter, said he is very appreciative
of the restaurant for hosting the
fundraiser.
According to its website,
www.griffinpondanimalshelter-
.com, The Shelter survives
solely on contributions from
the public. The Shelter receives
no money from Lackawanna
County. We do not turn away
our four legged guests in
need of shelter, warmth, and
love...Through the generosity
of Pat and John Atkins, all
money raised will go directly to
the Shelter animals. Thanks!
The cost for the event is
$100. Reservations are required
and can be made by calling
Patsels at 570.563.2000 or the
shelter at 570.585.0516.

Event benefits shelter

The fourth annual Lackawanna Community
Fundraiser to benefit the Boys and Girls
Clubs of NEPA and the Employment Oppor-
tunity and Training Center (EOTC) will be
held Sept. 22, at the Scranton Cultural Center.
The event will feature honorary co-chairs
United States Senator Robert P. Casey and
Monsignor Joseph G. Quinn of Fordham
University.
According to Randy Williams of the La-
velle Strategy Group, Msgr. Quinn will be
serving as the emcee for the evening, which
will include introductions, talking about how
the event has grown over four years, rein-
forcing the reason we attend and the impor-
tance of collaborative community support.
As for Casey, he chaired the event last year
and will return as an honorary co-chair this
year due to his longstanding dedication to
children at risk, said Williams.
Senator Caseys late father, Governor Rob-
ert P. Casey, helped fund EOTCs first parent-
ing and child abuse prevention program
through his Drug Policy Council, Williams
added. Senator Caseys mother, Ellen Casey,
helped establish the first Family Council
when EOTC developed the Scranton Area
Family Center as a collaborative resource for
local families. Senator Casey continues to
actively work to prevent child abuse and ne-
glect, to fund child nutrition and education
programs, to preserve the Childrens Health
Insurance Program and to promote home
visitation programs that help to break the
cycle of poverty. He will speak about the
importance of good corporate citizens and
good citizens of the community.
The event will begin with cocktail hour on
the second floor of the Scranton Cultural
Center, followed by a short program in the
main ballroom. Casey, Quinn and officials
from VaxServe and Sanofi Pasteur will pre-
sent checks to EOTC and the Boys and Girls
Clubs of NEPA.
Williams noted that VaxServe and Sanofi
Pasteur cover all costs associated with the
event. As a result, all money raised from
sponsorships and ticket sales go directly to
our two benefactors, he said.
Following the cocktail hour and the check
presentation, attendees will be served dinner,
followed by dancing to the music of Paul
LaBelle and The Exact Change.
Attendees can once again expect a first
class event with wonderful food, entertain-
ment and inspiring words from our dignitar-
ies, said Williams. Most of all, they can
expect to feel a great sense of pride, knowing
that their support will directly benefit chil-
dren and families in need.
This event is unique in that 100 percent of
money raised from sponsorships and ticket
sales goes directly to EOTCs child devel-
opment programs for infants and toddlers
from families in need and the Boys and Girls
Clubs of NEPA after school and summer
camp programs.
The Lackawanna County Community Fun-
draiser started in 2008 as a result of the vision
of Damian Braga, the senior vice president of
Global Commercial Operations at Sanofi
Pasteur to create a safety net for local, critical
non-profit organizations, according to Wil-
liams.
Over $140,000 has been raised in the first
three years. The 2011 event on Sept. 22 will
be a record- breaking year and will bring the
four year total to well over $200,000, said
Williams.
Tickets are $200. Tables of 10 are available
at $1,800. For details or to purchase tickets or
inquire about sponsorship opportunities, con-
tact Williams at 570.969.6000 or at rwil-
liams@lavellestrategy.com.

dence, which was known as
Bacon Tavern, and served for
22 years. Bacon Tavern was
located on what is nowknown
as Route 92.
On May 2, 1854, Albert D.
Kline was the station agent for
the railroad and appointed
postmaster. He moved the post
office to the railroad station,
Nicholson Depot.
It was in October 1822 when
the post office moved to the
corner of Main and Walnut
Streets under postmaster Fred
M. Williams, was made a third-
class office and rural free deliv-
eries were established. The first
rural carrier was Edward T.
Wilbur. His route 22 miles long
and it took from8:30 a.m. to 3
p.m. to complete. His annual
pay was $648. In1909, under
postmaster Francis N. Boyle,
Walter L. Bell was appointed
rural carrier. It was estimated
that he covered about 300,000
miles in his 25 years of service,
according to research done by
Rev. Garford Williams. Lemuel
Park began his rural delivery
route in1914 and worked more
than 25 years. In1923, the
office was moved down the
street next to what is nowLo-
chens store. Bert D. Stephens
was postmaster .
Layton Wallace was appoint-
ed the postmaster in1936 and
remained as such until 1956.
Nicholson attained its present
second-class rating in1945.
The Post Office Real Estate
section contacted the bank in
1960 and requested an option
on the Werkheiser property.
Bids were opened to provide a
one-story brick building.It was
to be a privately owned taxpay-
ing property provided to the
Post Office Department on a
lease. An agreement was reac-
hed and August 12, 1961was
the dedication. Hugh Saxton
was the postmaster, having
been appointed in1956. Sen-
ator Hugh Scott and Congress-
man WilliamScranton were
among the dignitaries to speak .
Officers in recent years after
Hugh Saxton were Nelson C.
Stull, appointed officer-in-
charge on June 22, 1977; Bon-
nie L. Griffis, appointed offi-
cer-in-charge Oct. 21, 1977;
Robert G. Downer, appointed
the postmaster on Jan. 28,
1978; Leland A. Coy, appointed
officer-in-charge Nov. 3, 1988;
Stephen E. Spencer, appointed
on Feb. 3, 1989. The current
postmaster, Georgina E. Wal-
ters, was appointed on June 3,
1989.
The post office department
has approved Nicholson having
a First Day Cancellation Sept.
9. On this day, outgoing mail
will be canceled with a special
stamp to celebrate the 200th
anniversary of the postal sys-
temin Nicholson.
According to Marion G.
Sweet, Chair of the Nicholson
Heritage Association, the first
post office was established in
Nicholson in1811at the bottom
of Roberts Hill or, as it is now
known, Tunnel Hill. The post
office was known by the name
of Nicholson or Thorn-Bottom.
At that time, there were no
postage stamps and no rural
free delivery. Packages could
not be sent by mail. Letters
were not in envelopes. Rates
were based on the distance that
the letter was sent. Caleb Ro-
berts received his postmaster
appointment fromPresident
James Madison on July1, 1811.
He served for 17 years. The
name Thornbottomwas used
for the post office until Nathan
Bacon changed the name of the
settlement to Baconville and
later to Bacon Town. Bacon
was appointed postmaster by
President John Quincy Adams
on Jan. 4, 1828. He moved the
post office to his place of resi-

StayClassy, a leader in
social fundraising for non-
profits, announced Aug. 30
that Marleys Mission, a local
equine therapy organization
based in Lake Ariel has suc-
ceeded in becoming a Top 10
Finalist in the 3rd Annual
CLASSY Awards in the cate-
gory of Best New Charity.
StayClassy and their sponsors
are offering more than
$150,000 to CLASSY Award
Winners.
Not only does the Mission
have the distinction of being
in the Top 10 Best New Char-
ities nationwide; StayClassy
has further announced that as
a result of public voting,
Marleys Mission has landed
in the Top 3 Best New Char-
ities in the United States. The
mission aims to bring the
healing power of horses and
their positive impact to chil-
dren who have experienced
trauma.
The CLASSY Awards are
the largest philanthropic
awards ceremony in the coun-
try, recognizing the most
outstanding philanthropic
achievements by charities,
businesses and individuals
nationwide. More than 2,000
nominations were submitted
for consideration. After a
vetting process, StayClassy
posted each nomination as an
article on the CLASSY
Awards Achievements Blog,
putting a national spotlight
on amazing philanthropic
stories from across the Unit-
ed States. Marleys Mission
generated more than 1,000
Facebook Likes to reach
the Top 25 judging round.
Out of thousands of nomi-
nations, the judges narrowed
the list down to the Top 25
most inspiring in each cate-
gory.
The Top 10 Finalists were
determined by public vote.
After a final round of judging
based on specific criteria, the
winners will be recognized
live on-stage at the Oscars-
style CLASSY Awards cere-
mony in San Diego on Sept.
17.

Marleys Board asks volunteers
to Buy a Mile to San Diego
According to Marleys Mission President Gene Talerico
the Board of Directors, staff and supporters of Marleys
Mission understand the significance of its recent award
from StayClassy: the ability to bring the healing power
of horses and their positive impact on children who
have experienced trauma to the national stage.
We know the Mission must be represented in San
Diego on September 17, but, how do we get there? Our
hope is to ask our dedicated supporters to help us Buy
a Mile to San Diego. San Diego, Ca. is 2,762 miles
from our campus in Lake Ariel. The cost for the Mission
to be represented by two people at the Awards
Ceremony will be about $2,000. Thats .72 cents a mile.
So we are asking our dedicated supporters to spare
some pocket change and help us buy our miles to San
Diego, he said.
For example: A gourmet coffee costs about $2.50: thats
3 1/4 miles; A McDonalds Quarter Pounder meal costs
about $5.50: thats almost 8 miles; Dinner for two costs
about $40: thats almost 35 miles.
Those interested in Buying a Mile, are asked to send
a donation to Marleys Mission, PO Box 505, Scranton,
PA 18501 or donate online at
http://www.marleysmission.com/donate-now/.

The Making Strides
Against Breast Cancer
Walk, which started in Bos-
ton in 1993 and has since
raised millions of dollars
for the American Cancer
Society to help fight breast
cancer, is set to take place
in the Wilkes-Barre/Scran-
ton area this year for the
first time.
The walk is scheduled to
begin at 8 a.m., with regis-
tration beginning at 7 a.m.,
on Oct. 1 at Wilkes Uni-
versity.
Tonyehn Verkitus, Amer-
ican Cancer Society staff
member and organizer of
the event, said the Making
Strides Against Breast Can-
cer Walk is important be-
cause it is the only event
run by the American Can-
cer Society to raise money
specifically for breast can-
cer research and awareness.
Verkitus said the goal of
the event is to raise at least
$15,000, and she hopes at
least 500 walkers will par-
ticipate.
Erin McFadden, chair of
the event, said she partici-
pated five years in the
Making Strides Against
Breast Cancer Walk in
Rochester, N.Y., and said of
the days atmosphere, Ev-
eryone wears pink, there
are happy faces, a great
crowd.
McFadden said that be-
sides raising money, the
purpose of the walk is also
to raise breast cancer
awareness, which is a pas-
sion of hers. She said that
one thing many people
dont realize is that men, as
well as women, can get
breast cancer. She also said
shed like to see more of an
awareness of the many dif-
ferent breast cancer-related
programs that are available
in the area.
The walk is unique to
similar events in that there
is no registration fee to
participate. Fundraising is
done mostly via the In-
ternet, where participants
can register and create their
own individual or team
page where their friends
and family can make dona-
tions using credit cards.
According to the Amer-
ican Cancer Societys Mak-
ing Strides website, The
Making Strides event is not
a race; it is a celebration of
survivorship, an occasion to
express hope, and a shared
goal to end a disease that
threatens the lives of so
many people we love.
When you raise funds for a
Making Strides event,
youre helping create a
world with less breast can-
cer and more birthdays -
where breast cancer never
steals another year from
anyones life.
Verkitus said she plans to
have live music playing
during the walk. Participa-
nts are encouraged to bring
water bottles, but there will
also be one or two stops
along the walk for liquid.

Big ideas
for small
businesses
and government and many
other topics, said Zaydon.
When I became president
three years ago, we decided
to honor the people we
asked to speak.
Over the past six years,
weve had wonderful people
in our community talk about
wonderful things, like edu-
cation and responsibility, she
added.
Zaydon said that attendees
of the Keys to a Successful
Future breakfast can expect
to enjoy a wonderful, cater-
ed and delicious breakfast.
They are very informed by
the time they leave. They get
a joy out of seeing people in
The Lackawanna County
Commission for Women will
host its sixth annual break-
fast, Keys to a Successful
Future, on Sept. 13 from 9
a.m. until 11 a.m. at the Par-
ish Center in Dunmore.
This years keynote speak-
er will be Professor Char-
lotte Ravaioli, senior advisor
to the president of Keystone
College.
Jemille Zaydon, president
of the Lackawanna County
Commission for Women,
said that Ravaioli will most
likely speak about educa-
tion, family, career and the
growth of Keystone Col-
lege.
According to Zaydon,
additional honorees at the
event are Major Bea Connell
of the Salvation Army, Don-
na Doherty, the First Lady
of Scranton and Lackawanna
County Commissioner Mi-
chael J. Washo. Zaydon said
all of the honorees have
been very supportive of our
mission.
The breakfast first started
as a legislative breakfast. Its
a very informative event.
There are people in the com-
munity talking about history
the community, as well as
seeing their friends. It is
both a social and education-
al event, added Zaydon.
This is one of the two
fundraisers the commission
hosts every year. The com-
missions main goal is to
help women and children in
Lackawanna County and
make life just a little bit
better for them. There are so
many people out there that
need help, said Zaydon.
For example, the orga-
nization has worked with the
homeless at Christmas, in-
cluding food and clothing
donations. Thats just one of
the numerous examples Zay-
don gave, also including, but
not limited to, working with
St. Francis of Assisi Kitch-
en, Marleys Mission and
Race for a Cure.
The good we do is in a
quiet way. The good we do
for the community is won-
derful. We need and want
people to come to us, said
Zaydon, who first became
involved in the commission
when she was encouraged by
a family friend.
We do a lot of things for
women and children locally.
We are very involved in this
community, she added.
I feel like my college
teaching background has
been so helpful. I loved this
commission since the day I
joined and I still love it, she
said.
In addition to breakfast,
attendees will have the op-
portunity to purchase chanc-
es to win prizes donated by
local businesses.

WAVERLY TWP. - There
was much debate at the Aug.
29, Waverly township meet-
ing.
Community members Bill
Calpin, Peter Capozzi and
Carmen Bilardi expressed
their frustration regarding the
gas issues. According to the
residents, a plan has been two
years in the making and al-
though there have been six to
eight people in the Hilltop
area who have signed up for
gas and signed their letters of
intent, the project has made
no progress.
According to the residents,
UGI Utilities, Inc., a natural
gas and electric utility, will
need to drill under the road
and the township does not
want to see the roads de-
stroyed. The township super-
visors said they never told
UGI it could not drill into the
roads, only that roads need to
be returned to their original
condition. Public works direc-
tor Thomas James said he
receives a letter annually from
UGI asking which roads are
going to be paved and re-
paved. James said the letter
the township received from
UGI said there are no plans
for gas lines or services in the
area. Calpin disagreed. .
In regard to the roads, the
township ordinance states that
when there are two or more
holes dug, roads must be re-
paved for the entire length of
highway that has been opened.
Calpin asked if the super-
visors abided by this rule and
they said they do not, because
they do not dig up the roads.
James made a recommenda-
tion that UGI submit mea-
surements and apply for a
permit with the township.
Manager Bill White will give
UGI the application to com-
plete and get UGI specifica-
tions. There will also be a
future meeting set up with the
supervisors, UGI and con-
cerned community members.
Drew Christian, member of
the Historic Architectural
Review Board (HARB), at-
tended the public meeting to
voice his concern regarding
the Waverly Community
House playground paving.
Mary Ellen DAndrea spoke
about the United Methodist
Church parking lot and its
historical accuracy. There is a
zoning ordinance that requires
parking lots to be paved with
asphalt. Waverly Twp. solic-
itor Andrew Hailstone said
that he does not know if His-
toric Architectural Review
Board would have the ability
to comment, other than as to
the ordinance. Supervisor
Douglas Klamp suggested
that a Historic Architectural
Review Board meeting would
be more appropriate to discuss
the matter. The next Historic
Architectural Review Board
meeting will be Sept. 14, at 7
p.m.
In the unfinished business
portion of the meeting, Super-
visor Bill White said he re-
cently discovered that the
township has been exempt
from changing their signage.
He said that Congressman
Tom Marino requested the
exemption, based on the con-
cept that the signs are visible,
easy to read and have historic
significance.
The Waverly Community
House playground renovation
was pronounced 85 percent
done according to supervisor
Ron Whitaker. On the second
day of construction, the soccer
team and football teams from
The University of Scranton
volunteered. Whitaker said,
(A) ton of people (were)
there, lots of great volun-
teers.

CLARKS GREEN- The
Abington Council of Gov-
ernments (ACOG) resumed
meetings Sept. 1 after a two-
month break for the summer.
They picked up discussions
from the last meeting where
an accounting firm, Fried-
man LLP informed the
council about forensic audits
and what could possibly be
involved for municipalities
trying to track lost tax mo-
nies. Friedman LLP sent the
council a proposal which the
group reviewed at the meet-
ing. The proposal was for the
initial phase of the audit,
which would cover two
weeks. The projected fees
for the work was $30,000 to
$40,000. The audit would
cover the years 2006-2009.
Im disappointed the cost
is so great, said Rick Wil-
liams of Clarks Green. He
added that finding any mon-
ey owed to the communities
would be beneficial and
could potentially change
the political climate.
Council secretary Marnie
ODea Palmer agreed, The
bottom line is, as elected
officials we owe it to the
taxpayers. The council
members decided they
would like a more detailed
proposal from Friedman
LLP, as well as the advice of
council member, Lee Jami-
son, who first proposed the
idea. Jamison was absent
from the meeting, so the
issue was put on hold until
next October.

It was the first time in a
while that something moved me
enough to write, said Walsh.
I just sat down and it came
right out of me. I didnt have to
think about it. Thats been the
case with a lot of the poetry Ive
written, I just feel something
and it has to come out.
The poemwas published in
the September 20, 2001edition
of The Abington Journal, and
was met with positive feedback.
I dont think its the best
piece I ever wrote, but its the
one that touches people, said
Walsh.
I think thats because it
speaks to the heart. Everyone
enjoyed it.
In addition to her artistic side,
the events also inspired in her a
need to give back.
In 2002, Walsh founded the
Parents Loving Children
Through AutismFoundation.
The PLCTAFoundation has
three goals: to provide support
and encouragement for families
who are raising children with
autism; to educate through
meetings, workshops and train-
ing to bring the latest informa-
tion available to families; and to
provide a place where each
child will be accepted.
Through the foundation she
mentors a number of children,
and tries to encourage each one
of themto pick a cause and
work for it.
We all have the ability to
make an impact, said Walsh.
Sunday will mark10 years
since 9/11, but Walsh said she
and her family still try and keep
the memory of that day in their
house, to remember what we
lost as a nation, and remind
themselves of howlucky they
are to be here.
I think that every passing is
a call for us to live. Our re-
sponse to this tragedy should be
to live every day, said Walsh.
Thats the impact it had on
my life, I dont take one day for
granted.
The PLCTAFoundation is
located at 1243 Wyoming Ave.,
Scranton, for those interested in
helping Walsh with her cause.
For more information, visit
plcta.org/ or call 570.341.3388.
And for those wishing to
honor those who were lost
during the tragedy, there are a
number of events planned in the
community.
HEART
Continued from Page 1
The Day The World
Turned Cold
Madness, confusion, fear and
hate
Why has this happened we
yell in rage.
Hearts now broken, victims in
pain
Partners alone, last goodbyes
on cell phones
What must they have been
feeling as
they prayed to God above?
God, please tell me that you
gave them
comfort with your love.
Four planes they took over
with hearts black as coal.
This day we will always
remember: The Day the
World Turned Cold.
Men filled with evil. Will they
prevail?
Reason, sanity, understanding
not there.
People running and screaming
from the crumbling tower.
Who is responsible? Their
leader a coward.
Families now broken from a
loss so unspoken.
Our country is angry. Our
world now divided.
Digging out bodies. Praying
love ones are found
American united together in
pain, keeping faith alive.
The fabric of America is
starting to tear
The human face of this
tragedy is too much too bear.
Please God stretch out your
arms to touch every heart in
need.
Bless all your children. For
today our country bleeds!

* The Waverly Community House will hold its ninth annual Commu-
nity Pledge of Allegiance on Sept. 12. The ceremony was moved back a
day to allow members of the community to commemorate the events
of 9/11 at their own places of worship or elsewhere. The event started
on the first anniversary of 9/11 and has been held every year consis-
tently rain or shine, Executive Director Maria Wilson said. The beauty
of the ceremony is that its a very simple ceremony, she said.
Wilson expects many groups and organizations from the communi-
ty to be a part of the event. Clarks Summit VFW Post 7069 will coor-
dinate the flag raising along with the playing of taps. The Clarks Sum-
mit and Dalton Fire Departments, students from the Waverly pre-
school, representatives from Waverly Township and surrounding
townships along with local police and firefighters are expected to
attend.
* The Clarks Summit Fire Company will host a Commemorative
Blood Drive on Sept. 10 from10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at their fire house locat-
ed at 321 Bedford St.
* At the first Lakeland High School home football game Sept. 9, the
school will fly a flag from ground zero at the stadium in honor of 9-11.
Community observes 9/11
Compiled by Rob Tomkavage
The event, which is hosted every year
on the second Sunday of September, hap-
pened to fall this year on Sept. 11, the
tenth anniversary of the terrorist attacks.
According to Walsh, this years event will
be special in that the ride will be dedi-
cating a 9/11memorial in Nay Aug Park
to the City of Scranton. This dedication
will take place at the fairgrounds at 11:30
a.m. While the ride serves as remem-
brance of a tragedy, it also celebrates a
life.
Walsh said it is more of a joyous event
to see howmany people honor himIts
heartwarming to see it growing each
year.
Argonish was killed at age 26 on Au-
gust 27, 2007 during an ambush in Af-
ghanistan. His parents are Nancy and
Michael Argonish of Peckville, and his
son Jakub is now12.
According to the rides website, Jan
was an amazing young man who loved his
son Jakub, his family, his friends, and his
fianc Talia. Jan enjoyed going quad rid-
ing with his son, listening to country mu-
sic, and classic cars. Jan is deeply missed
by his family, friends and the countless
others he touched over his lifetime.
Walsh noted that something Argonish
said a lot, which became his personal
motto while he was in the National Guard,
was, no worries. The family adopted
this motto for the ride and various mem-
orabilia featuring the phrase, including
bracelets, mugs and T-shirts, can be pur-
chased on the website. Ashort biography,
photos, a map and more information
about the ride can also be found on the
website, which is www.jansride.com.
to participate for a donation of $20 each,
plus $10 each for passengers. Registration
will be open from8 to11p.m. the day of
the ride and pre-registration is available
online at www.jansride.com.
Talia Walsh, fianc of the late Sgt. Ar-
gonish and main organizer of the event,
said the proceeds fromthe ride go to the
Sgt. Jan-Michael Argonish Memorial
Fund, which was set up through the
Scranton Area Foundation to help local
injured soldiers and their families. Part of
the proceeds fromthis years ride will also
go toward the visit of author and motiva-
tional speaker MatthewSandford who
will speak to local veterans.

I cant believe Septem-
ber is already here. Time
just goes by so quickly.
This month the Dietrich
truly has something for
everyone.
For little ones, the Die-
trich Childrens Theater
will be back with live
performances this Friday,
Sept. 9, at 10 a.m. and
1:30 p.m. and Saturday,
Sept. 10, at 11 a.m. They
will be presenting Lon
Po Po: A Little Red Rid-
ing Hood Story from Chi-
na.
In this story, three small
children out in the Chi-
nese countryside bid fare-
well to their father as he
travels overnight to visit
their sick grandmother, or
po po.
The children are cau-
tioned not to open the
door to anyone, as there
might be a wolf, or lon,
lurking about. But when
there is a knock on the
door late at night, is it
their po po or really an
evil lon po po instead? I
think kids will have a fun
time finding similarities
and differences between
the Red Riding Hood sto-
ry they are familiar with
and this one.
The show is very inter-
active and audience mem-
bers will learn a few Chi-
nese words from the pro-
duction.
After the show, storytell-
er Fiona Powell and the
cast will take the audi-
ences questions about the
play. We would like to
thank the Pennsylvania
Humanities Council for
sponsoring the production.
All ages are welcome to
attend. Admission is free
and tickets will be avail-
able at the door or by
calling 570.996.1500.
The next big event at
the Dietrich is Sept. 14, at
7 p.m. Beatles scholar
Kenneth Womack will give
a multi-media presentation
that brings the story of

Patrons of the Abington Community Library who en-
joy its large print collection will find new titles, both
fiction and non-fiction, ready for circulation this week.
Newcomers on the large print shelves include:
Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of
Remembering Everything by Jonathan Foer. After a
year of memory training, the author found himself in the
finals of the U.S. Memory Championship. Here he draws
on cutting-edge research, a surprising cultural history of
memory and tricks of the mentalists trade to transform
the readers understanding of human remembering.
Dont Lets Go to the Dogs Tonight by Alexandra
Fuller. The authors memoir of her African childhood is
a diary of an unruly life in a frequently inhospitable
place, told with humor that is sometimes hilarious, as
she looks back with both rage and love at the life of her
extraordinary family.
The Idea of America by Gordon S. Wood. This book
helps us to recapture the fears and hopes of the gener-
ation that fought the American Revolution and its at-
tempts to translate their ideals into a working democracy.
Wood observes that what may simply seem like audacity
to 21st century readers was considered radical in the 18th
century.

This fall, the Waverly
Community House will of-
fer The Art of Illustration

ages with instructor Jennif-
er Kozlansky.
This class will teach the
basic skills of an illustrator
and you will learn from

The final project will be an
expressive woodcut-style
illustration using a gouache
on acrylic method.
Interested in the challeng-
es of communication in the
field of advertising, Kozlan-
sky started designing mar-
keting collateral for local
businesses, and became key
in helping a local start-up
manufacturing company
grow to a multimillion dol-
lar nationwide leader.
Through her freelance com-
pany, Brim Advertising &
Printing Services, she has
worked with dozens of cli-
ents such as WYOU, O&N
Aircraft and Mercy Tyler.
She attended Ringling
College of Art and Design,
receiving a BFA with hon-
ors in Illustration. She also
studied in Florence, Italy at
the Studio Art Centers In-
ternational, taking post-
graduate art history courses
and an internship at a de-
sign studio in Florence,
where she drew illustrations
for the Museo de la Speco-
la, the largest Natural His-
tory Museum in Europe.

Waverly Comm teaches Art of Illustration
As early as 1972, the Nation-
al Park Service was consid-
ering the creation a cultural
coal park recognizing the sig-
nificance of the Lackawanna
Valleys anthracite industry in
the industrialization of the
nation.
In 1988, with the develop-
ment of Steamtown National
Historic Site, the National Park
Service realized that there was
a wealth of supportive re-
sources in the Lackawanna
Valley. With a strong belief in
the future of the Lackawanna
Valley, a community task force
was formed to develop the
regions historic, economic,
cultural and natural resources
for heritage, preservation, edu-
cation and tourism.
In 1991, the plan for the
Lackawanna Heritage Valley
was published to explain the
ideas for the valley with a pro-
vided cost and benefit analysis.
In April of that year, the Lack-
awanna Heritage Valley was
designated as the first State
Heritage Park in Pennsylvania
with the Lackawanna Heritage
Valley Authority (LHVA) as
the managing entity.
In 2000, it was designated as
a National Heritage Area by
the United States Congress in
recognition of the regions
unique contribution to the
American experience.
The Lackawanna Heritage
Valley includes the Lackawan-
na River watershed in parts of
Lackawanna, Luzerne, Susque-
hanna, and Wayne counties.
Preserving the rich history of
the Lackawanna Valley has
become a central tenant of the
Lackawanna Heritage Valley
Authority. As a result, the
Lackawanna Heritage Valley
Authority tells the story of
immigrants who came here to
build a new life and ended up
building a new nation through
the development of anthracite
mining, textiles, steel manu-
facturing, printing, trolleys and
railroad building.
Lackawanna Heritage Valley
Authority is focused on renew-
al of the environment, of the
economic base, and of pride
and a sense of place.
As part of its mission, the
Lackawanna Heritage Valley
Authority supports various
environmental organizations,
students, educators, municipal
governments, residents, vis-
itors, and historic and cultural
sites - including the Lackawan-
na Historical Society. The
Society participates in the
Lackawanna Heritage Valley
Authoritys monthly round-
table, which provides various
groups the opportunity to net-
work and collaborate on activ-
ities and projects.
Additionally, the Society
receives financial support for
many preservation and in-
terpretive projects and pro-
grams from the Lackawanna
Heritage Valley Authority.
The Lackawanna Historical
Society is proud to celebrate
the 20th anniversary of the
Lackawanna Heritage Valley
State and National Heritage
Area during its 2011 annual
dinner Sept.14.
To mark this milestone, the
Society is pleased to welcome
Monsignor Joseph G. Quinn,
vice president for university
mission and ministry at Ford-
ham University, New York
City. Msgr. Quinn, the found-
ing chairman of LHVA and
former pastor at Scrantons St.
Peters Cathedral and St. Rose
of Lima Church in Carbondale,
is our special guest for this
years annual dinner, and will
introduce the world premiere
of a WVIA documentary titled
Legacy: The Story of the
Lackawanna Heritage Valley.
The event is set for Sept. 14,
at the Scranton Cultural Cen-
ter, 420 N. Washington Ave.,
Scranton. The evening begins
with cocktails at 5:30 p.m. and
dinner at 6:15 p.m. with the

Those interested in learn-
ing to sing and read Welsh
are in luck.
In preparation for the
North American Festival of
Wales in Scranton on Labor
Day weekend 2012, there
will be free classes on sing-
ing and reading Welsh on
the first and third Saturday
of every month at the First
Congregational Church in
West Pittston.
The classes begin Sat-
urday, Sept. 17, and run
from 2 to 4 p.m. The classes
are free to the public.
The North American
Festival of Wales is a com-
bined event sponsored by
the Welsh National Gaman-
fa Ganu Association and the
National Welsh-American
Foundation, said Warren
Watkins, treasurer of Na-
tional Welsh-American
Foundation and a member
of the Welsh National Gy-
manfa Ganu Association.
They are separate orga-
nizations from Wales, USA,
Canada and other countries.
We gather every Labor Day
weekend for fellowship,
singing, choir presentations,
individual presentations,
eating, banquets, et cetera.
Watkins said that this is
the first time such a class
has been offered. The class
will be taught by a local
gentleman who is schooled
in the Welsh language, said
Watkins, adding that other
local people fluent in the
language may assist with
teaching as well.
Years ago our local St.
Davids Society attempted to
have a Welsh teaching class,
but it fell through when the
teacher was not able to be
available, said Watkins.
Welsh is a very difficult
language to learn, more
difficult than Latin. The
class members will learn the
fundamentals of the lan-
guage, word pronunciation,
reading of Welsh reading
material and many other
aspects of the language that
will make them able to
speak and read Welsh.
Watkins added that attend-
ees will learn a language
that they can carry with
them the rest of their lives.
Hopefully trips to Wales
where they can utilize the
language will be planned.
Greater appreciation for
Welsh traditions and their
Welsh heritage can be ex-
pected from festival attend-
ance. Also, meeting fellow
Welshmen from all over the
U.S., Canada, Wales and
England is a plus to attend.
Naturally I would en-
courage anyone with a
Welsh background to attend
and help continue a Welsh
tradition that goes back
many years, said Watkins.
Also to try and get younger
persons with Welsh back-
grounds is a must for the
future.
According to Watkins,
they are expecting around
1,500 Welshmen and friends
to attend the 2012 festival,
noting that the festival is
held in different places each
year.
It has been many years
since the festival has been
in the northeast, where there
is a large bed of Welsh-
men, said Watkins. We
would help members and
friends would attend even if
it was for one day of the
scheduled four. It takes a
year of planning to put the
event together which in-
cludes selection choirs and
entertainers from Wales to
come and participate.
Theres nothing like 1,400
voices plus choirs singing at
one time. If shivers down
the spine are to occur, it
will happen during the sing-
ing.
The First Congregational
Church is located at 500
Luzerne Ave, West Pittston.

570.905.9074 or

terested in attending.

The Jason Miller Play-
wrights Project has commis-
sioned a collection of short
works from preferred local
writers to begin an annual
celebration of new plays in
Scranton Dyonisia.
In 1977, a troupe dedicated
to the production of local
original work called Scranton
Theatre Libre produced a
program of three original
plays titled Dyonisia 77.
Scranton Theatre Libre went
on to merge with another
company to become Scranton
Public Theatre. The Jason
Miller Playwrights Project
decided to co-op the name of
that program presented some
34 years ago in recognition of
Scranton Public Theatres long
dedication to the production of
local, original work including
Coaltown Breaker, The
Fire Down Below, and The
Last Thoughts of Gino Merli.
This inaugural Dyonisia
takes its inspiration from cross
section outline of rooms that
remains in the wake of the
demolition of the former Pub
Charles at Linden Street and
Penn Avenue. Each author has
written a scene set in one spe-
cific room of The Providence
Arms, a nondescript, fiction-
al boarding house in The
Electric City. The scenes are
of various genres and are set
at different points of time in
history. They will be perform-
ed in two acts by an ensemble
of actor/directors with support
from additional guest actors.
The 2011 writers include:
Jonathan Caws-Elwitt, Tom
Flannery, K.K. Gordon, Alicia
Grega, Jack McGuigan, Mau-
reen McGuigan, Mark Meier,
Sarah Stachura Regan and
John Pivovarnick. The actor/
director ensemble includes
Stephen Pauley, Carla Reck
and Alex DeVirgilis, in addi-
tion to Regan and Pivovarnick.
Guest actors include Conor
McGuigan, Eric Lutz and Bob
Balitski. Jason Miller Play-
wrights Project coordinator
Alicia Grega is producing the
event with support from
Scranton Public Theatre.
Shows will be offered
Thursday through Saturday at
8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.
from Sept. 22 to 25. Seating is
limited; reservations will be
secured only with advance
ticket purchase. A $10 dona-
tion is requested to offset the
cost of playwright commis-
sions, actor/director stipends,
and production costs including
sets, costumes. Visit
www.SubverseAphrode-
sia.com/dyonisia.aspx to pur-
chase tickets.
Individuals and businesses
interested in sponsoring this
and future programs of the
Jason Miller Playwrights
Project are also encouraged to
inquire. Non-musical, full-
length scripts by regional play-
wrights are now being accept-
ed by the JMPP for consid-
eration in its 2012 season.

lowing the struggle of a
fire captain dealing with
the time after 9/11, will be
the Bloomsburg Theatre
Ensembles first show of
this Seasons Bonus Series.
Tickets are priced at $12,
$9 with the Bonus Ticket
Package, and can be pur-
chased for the limited en-
gagement run by calling

semble invites any fire
companies in the area to
bring in a boot to place in
the lobby for donations
during the run.
Written just 12 days after
9/11, Ann Nelsons The
Guys reflects the swirling
emotions of the nation.
Grief, disbelief, confusion,
but above all, hope, unity
and strength. A fire cap-
tain must write eulogies
for eight of his men who
have been missing since
entering one of the towers.
The show will run Sept. 8
through 11.

The Hexagon Project cele-
brated its fifth year with an
opening on First Friday in
Scranton, this past Friday,

Gallery 503 Lackawanna
Ave.
There will be a special
student showing September
11 at ArtsWorks from 6 to 9
p.m.

Heights High School art
students participated in the
Hexagon Project.

pated in this project are Joey
Hamersly, Evan Petrini,

Keisling, Celina Mahalidge,
Kate Crowley, Emma Black,

Michaels, Eleanor Wilson
and David Lange.
The Interdependence Day
Hexagon Project showcases
hexagons created by junior
high and high school stu-
dents both regional and
worldwide, for its celebra-
tion in September.
Students are asked to ad-
dress issues of social justice,
human rights, civil society,
democracy, freedom of
speech and religious wor-
ship, womens childrens
rights and the environment
through research, dialog and
the arts process in any medi-
um.
The goal of the project is
to communicate a unifying
theme about Interdepend-
ence through the production
of art that reflects skill in
various media, processes
and techniques and exhibit
these works in a public fo-
rum. To demonstrate inter-
dependence by working col-
laboratively through art-
making and theater activ-
ities, during a public exhibi-
tion opening in order to
concretize the spirit of inter-
dependence for attendees.
To demonstrate, in an in-
ternational forum, that
young people are aware of
and can respond to the is-
sues and concepts surround-
ing interdependence through
artistic expression by the
creation of virtual gallery
and blogspot on the Interde-
pendence Day Website.
For more information,
visit www.interdependence-
daynepa.org.
Hexagon celebrates
5 years of student art
p.m. in Evans Hall. The
exhibit at Keystone College
features the work of artists
Augustin Mona, Michelet
Calice (known as Najee)
and Henry Robert Derazin.
Though these artists
works are distinct from one
anothers, they embrace
some common themes, in-
cluding elements of Haitian
history and cultural evolu-
tion. Most notably in their
paintings, all three artists
explore the devastation of
the earthquake that struck
Haiti in 2010.
The Moscow Clayworks
exhibit features the clay-
works of artists Lissa Jean-
not, Ronald Meys, Burgeon
Neptune and Jude Gilot.
Each artists work is unique
in style and function, but
all reflect the hardship of
creating artwork in an im-
poverished country devas-
tated by natural disasters.
Both exhibitions are in-
tended to raise public
awareness of contemporary
art in Haiti as well as to
offer financial support to
Haitian artists. All proceeds
from the sale of artwork
will be returned to the art-
ists, with the galleries tak-
ing no commissions on pur-
chased work.
Its amazing to see such
an outpouring of artistic
creation in Haiti, in a socie-
ty that is so deprived of
material wealth and modern-
day comforts said Drake
Gmez, director of the Lin-
der Gallery. Such creative
perseverance is always a
sign to me of great artistic
sincerity. Art never comes
easily, but it is particularly
difficult in times of strug-
gle.
The Keystone exhibit is
part of the colleges 2011
Interdependence Day cele-
bration, launched in re-
sponse to the tragic events
of September 11, 2011. Ad-
ditional Interdependence Day
events at Keystone include

activist Rev. Djaloki Des-
sables Sept. 7, a lecture by
political analyst and reporter
Salena Zito Sept. 15, and a
fair highlighting the theme
of global interdependence
also Sept. 15.
Three Haitian Painters
will be on display at Keys-
tone College in La Plume
Sept. 18 through Oct. 21.

Project will be exhibited at
Moscow Clayworks in Mos-
cow from Oct. 10 through

I send you the head of a Dachshund to-day
Wait for the next part. Dont throwthis away.
Two funny feet towards you trot, Dear Friend, oh please, forget

add the tail."
This Card nowmakes my dog complete, It is not intended for

Poetry for students
Pianists James and Tsuka-
sa Waltich will present a
performance of jazz and
classical works for piano as
part of the 2011 Salon Con-
cert Series at The Music
Studio, 106 Colburn Ave.,
Clarks Summit. The per-
formance will take place
Sept. 18, at noon.
Jazz pianist James D.
Waltich has played many
festivals, concerts and jazz
clubs in New York, New
Jersey, Washington D.C.
and Pennsylvania. He has
worked with Grammy
Award-winning bassist
Steve Gilmore, drummers
Glen Davis and Marko Mar-
cinko, George Young of
NBC TVs Saturday Night
Live, and saxophonist Billy
Smith, who has composed
for Freddie Hubbard and
Coleman Hawkins. Waltich

Afternoon

Comments, ink-wash
drawings by Susan Kendrot
will be exhibited at the
AFA Gallery through Sep-
tember 24.
Much of Susans current
work stems from emotions
evoked by certain, newspa-
per, magazine, book, TV
and movie images. The
works are not representa-
tive of any one individual,
culture, race or nation, but
are comments on public
reactions as humans to
situations within or beyond
control.
Many of the figures are
enraged: most are in pain.
Has some terrible injustice
or horrific misfortune be-
fallen them? Have they
been robbed of health,
savings, dignity, freedom?
Is the anger from frustra-
tion or that fanned by rhet-
oric? The viewer is left to
determine what is repre-
sented and its possible
cause.
The technique used in
producing these drawings
is the same as that used to
produce a monotype plate
but the image is made
with Chinese ink on a non
porous paper which be-
comes the finished prod-
uct. This surface allows
the ink to be brushed on
and wiped off with various
tools, cloth, fingers, q tips,
adding and subtracting ink
as required to achieve the
desired effect. It is an im-
mediate and direct ap-
proach reflecting the char-
acter of the images.
The Afa Gallery is locat-
ed at 514 Lackawanna
Ave., Scranton. For more
information, call
570.969.1040.

SPORTS
Clarks Summit, Pa. SEPTEMBER 7 TO SEPTEMBER 13, 2011 50
J
.C. Show put on a perform-
ance Saturday afternoon,
Sept. 3,contributing in ev-
ery phase of the game against
Hazleton as the Abington
Heights Comets downed the
Cougars 28-14 at The Pit in
Clarks Summit.
The sophomore receiver
caught eight passes for 116 yards
and two scores. He also inter-
cepted a pass while playing cor-
nerback, and he recovered a
fumble on a special teams play.
All of our players were resil-
ient today, said Abington
Heights Coach Joe Repshis. We
responded well in the second
half after some fundamental
mistakes early.
The Comets were fundamen-
tally sound on the opening offen-
sive series of the game. Junior
quarterback, Dante Pasqualichio,
led Abington Heights on a 65-
yard drive in just over two min-
utes that took just seven plays.
It appeared that the series was
going to be cut short on third
and seven from the Comets 38
-yard line. Pasqaulichio was
seemingly wrapped up in the
backfield when he spun free and
completed a 13-yard shuffle pass
to senior tailback Corey Degilio
that kept the drive alive.
Two plays later, Show caught a
pass down the right sideline and
rumbled 45 yards down to the
Cougar one- yard line. Sopho-
more running back Quinn Ka-
ram took it in from there on a
one- yard plunge and staked the
Comets to a 7-0 lead after one
quarter.
After a failed Cougar drive,
junior wide receiver Jamie
Henzes fielded a punt at the
Cougar 46 -yard line to open the
second quarter. He raced 42
yards down the sideline where
he was pushed out at the four-
yard line. Once again the Come-
ts called Karams number as he
bulldozed his way into the end
zone to give Abington Heights a
14-0 lead with 11:42 to go in the
first half.
Hazleton had a drive stalled
halfway through the second
quarter as a result of back- to
-back penalties. The Cougars
were whistled for nine penalties,
totaling 60 yards in the game.
Despite the flags, Hazleton
still showed signs of life just
before halftime. Senior running
back Brian Campbell burst
through the line and sprinted 22
yards to the Cougar 44. Howev-
er, another penalty seemed to
kill their momentum, and on the
very next play, Show stepped in
front of a Chad Hoffman bullet
pass and returned it 56 yards
down to the Cougar 10-yard line
as time expired.
Hazleton appeared to have
adjusted their game plan at the
half and came out running the
ball on a series of sweeps that
seemed to perplex Abington
Heights defenders. Senior You-
sef Guzman shed two tackles
and broke off a run to the out-
side for 13 yards early in the

DALTON - The second annual Go
Green Bike Tour will take place Oct. 1
at the Lackawanna State Park, Dalton.
The site will serve as the beginning and
end point of the tour. Bill Kern, Coun-
tryside Conservatory executive director,
said he was pleased with how the inau-
gural event ran last year and is hopeful
for an even bigger turnout this year.
It went great, Kern said. We had
over 100 riders last year. Everyone
seemed to enjoy the route we planned
out. We received a lot of positive feed-
back, so we decided to do it again.
Were shooting for 200 riders this year.
Because of an increase in sponsors we
were able to reduce the registration fee,
so were hoping to attract more riders.
There will be seven different bike
routes available: a one-mile beginners
trail, a 16.8-mile intermediate trail, an
18-mile expert trail, a 18.2-mile begin-
ners trail, a 29.3-mile intermediate
trial, a 62-mile trail and a route for
parents and children under 12.
In addition to the many bike routes, a
trail hike will also be offered this year
for a cost of $10.
This year we added a hiking cate-
gory as an option, Kern said. We
recognized that not everybody rides
bikes, but would like to participate. We
thought it was a nice touch to add.
Participants will be treated to live
music preformed by local classic rock
band, High Falls. A variety of food
including hot dogs, hamburgers, veggie
burgers and beverages will be provided.
All riders must wear a helmet to par-

SCRANTON- The Scranton Prep
Cavaliers snapped a 14-year losing
streak to Lakeland High School, de-
feating the Chiefs, 26-20, in a Lacka-
wanna Football Conference contest at
Scranton Memorial Stadium Sept. 3.
I thought we did a great job and
played hard the whole game, Scran-
ton Prep head coach Nick Donato
said. We just hung in there. Defen-
sively we had a rough first half, but
they are a very good offensive team.
Both defenses were a little suspect, it
came down to the second half. Both
defenses tightened it up and our kids
made a big drive at the end when it
counted.
The Cavaliers were led by running
back Marshall Kupinski, who was a
part of all four Scranton Prep touch-
downs.

Kupinski scored on a four-yard

has had the disease for almost
25 years. She says that thus
far, support has been terrific
and growth has been consis-
tent.
We continue to get new
support from first-timers,
said Bell. We also have peo-

CARBONDALE- With a
dominant rushing attack
and stifling defense, the
Lackawanna Trail Lions
demolished Carbondale
High School at Andrew
J. Cerra Stadium Sept.
2.
The Lions capitalized
on every opportunity and
built an insurmountable
lead en route to a 43-12
victory.
On Carbondales first
play from scrimmage,
the Chargers fumbled
and Lackawanna Trail
dived on the football at
the Carbondale 30-yard
line. The Lions built on
the turnover with a six-
play drive that ended
with a one-yard touch-
down run by Eric Lay-
tos.
On the ensuing posses-
sion on 3rd and 12,
Lackawanna Trail junior
Justin Barber forced
Carbondale quarterback
Joe Gigliotti out of the
pocket and into the arms
of Laytos, forcing the
Chargers to punt. Barber
constantly broke through
the Chargers offensive
line in his first game
back after a two-game
suspension at the end of
last season.
It was great. They
accepted me back, Bar-
ber said. We worked
hard this summer and
we showed it tonight,
pulled it together and
came out with the win.
After his suspension
Barber came back ready
to work in the offseason,
according to Lackawanna
Trail coach Steve Jervis.
He didnt miss a
week of workouts all
year long, Jervis said.
Whatever happened last
year is in the past. Hes
a whole new kid.
On their second pos-
session, the Lions drove
85 yards to increase
their lead to 14-0. Lay-
tos kept the drive alive
when he converted on
4th and 2 in Carbondale
territory. Marvess Ro-
siak capped off the drive
with a 26-yard touch-
down run.
Before the end of the
first quarter, the Char-
gers threatened to move
into Lackawanna Trail
territory, but the Lions
forced and recovered the
loose ball to give Lacka-
wanna Trail another
scoring opportunity.
The Lions immediately
took advantage of the
turnover when running
back Jeremy Greenley
darted to the end zone
for a 47-yard touchdown
run. Greenley added an-
other rushing touchdown
on Lackawanna Trails
next possession giving
the Lions a 27-0 lead.
Carbondale finally
answered the Lions
scoring barrage when
Brandon Sales returned
the ensuing kickoff for
an 85-yard touchdown.
The return cut the def-
icit to 27-6 before the
end of the half.

CLARKS SUMMIT - This
year, the fans in the stands
at the Abington Heights
High School football games
are going to be as organized
as the players on the field,
thanks to the Blue Crew.
The Blue Crew, the
schools newest club, will be
selling blue T-shirts to the
Abington Heights student
body. The T-shirts are priced
at $10 and will gain the stu-
dents free admission to any
home, regular season sport-
ing event during the year.
The goal is to get the
school together in an orga-
nized body and cheer for the
team, just like a regular
student section would, but a
little more organized, we all
have the same outfit on,
said Blue Crew founder
Kevin Murray.
The whole Blue Crew
student section has been a
long-standing tradition, but
just the addition of the T-
shirts, and trying to get us
organized, has gone on the
last few weeks and every-
ones been very supportive,
especially the football
team.
Murray said he is also
hoping this encourages stu-
dents to come out to even
more high school sporting
events, as the club is plan-
ning on attending at least
one sporting event for each
school team to support the
athletes and the school.
A member of the schools
basketball and track and
field team, Murray under-
stands the importance of a
strong fan base, and said
part of the inspiration for
the club came from hearing
an outcry from his fellow
students for more school
spirit.
The 17-year old South
Abington Twp. resident
spent last year abroad in
Venezuela thanks to the
Rotary Club of the Abing-
tons. He returned to the area
in late July and rather than
take some time off, he got
right to work starting the
Blue Crew about a week
ago.
He credits his classmates
and the faculty at Abington
Heights High School with
being able to get the Blue
Crew together so quickly.
Im not the only one
whos doing this, there are a
lot of people helping, said
Murray. Just to name a few,
theres a lot, but Jake Good-
man, Kate Grow and Cali
Crapella, theyve all helped
out a lot.
(Athletic Director Jere-
my) Ruby, Chris Calder
(Abington Heights High
School teacher), and the
three principals (Pamela
Murray, Andrew Snyder and
Marc Wyardt); theyre our
advisors, and theyve been
supportive.
The Blue Crew has also
found help in the communi-
ty.
Tom Parry, owner of
Nickies Fabulous Hoagies,
has donated the Blue Crew
their first 100 T-shirts, and
will donate another 100
once they sell out.
I think hes doing a great
thing for the district and the
community, said Ruby of
Parry. These are tough
economic times, and we
really think hes doing an
amazing thing for the local
community. So, I want to
say kudos to Tom, as well as
the senior students for com-
ing together joining forces
here for their classmates and
their school.
This is a fun idea, I think
Kevin and his friends are
doing a great job. Were
looking forward to seeing
this come to fruition at the
school, were all for school
spirit and making the events
that much more enjoyable.
Murray said, based on the
initial reaction hes gotten,
he believes they will be able
to sell the first 200 shirts
easily.
He has even received in-
quiries from parents asking
if they would be able to
purchase the shirts, and the
school is looking into
whether or not it will be a
possible to make another
shirt for members of the
community.
The T-shirts will be avail-
able to purchase at the main
office in the high school
and at the Comets next
home football game Sept. 17
against Tunkhannock.

third period. That run was
followed by an impressive
60-yard jaunt down the right
sideline by Campbell that led
to a touchdown. The score cut
the Comet lead to 14-6 fol-
lowing a missed extra point.
Abington Heights wasted
no time in responding to the
Cougar score. Sophomore
running back Sean Rock
ripped off a 46-yard run down
to the Hazleton 20 -yard line.
Three plays later Pasqaulichio
hit a diving Show in the cor-
ner of the end zone with a
beautiful 16-yard touchdown
pass that extended the Comets
lead to 21-6 with 8:41 to go in
the third quarter.
The Cougars last real
chance to remain in the game
came on their ensuing offen-
sive drive. Hazleton continued
to pound the ball to the out-
side and drove out top their
40 -yard line. Hoffman than
executed a quarterback keeper
and sprinted 29 yards down to
the Abington Heights 30. The
yellow flags appeared once
again and a chop block penal-
ty negated the quarterback
scramble and brought the
drive to a screeching halt.
It was Show time once
again when the speedy receiv-
er lined up as the long snap-
per on an Abington Heights
punt.
Show hiked the ball and
sprinted downfield, diving on
a Hazleton muff at the Cougar
41 yard line.
I just snap it and get down-
field as fast as I can, said
Show. Pacyna had great hang
time and all of us on special
teams got down there.
Three plays later, junior
receiver, Conor Dickinson,
got up there as he made a
sprawling, leaping grab be-
tween two defenders who
sandwiched him. Dickinson
held on to the ball as he
slammed to the ground, keep-
ing the drive alive on the third
and two play.
Pasqaulichio hit Show from
18 yards out this time in the
opposite corner of the end
zone. The touchdown made it
28-6 with 11:53 remaining in
the contest.
The two corner routes
were out and ups that Dante
and I have worked on, Show
said. We made adjustments
to the way they were playing
us at half time and it paid
off.
Show attributed the big
night to the total team effort.
This is what is great about
football, he said. Everyone
came in and contributed.
Coach Repshis agreed
about the team effort.
Sure there are things we
need to shore up on defense,
Repshis said. But as we rely
on players like J.C. to lead,
the mistakes will be eliminat-
ed.

The Abington Heights and
Lackawanna Trail High
School field hockey teams
will both have to deal with
some changes in order to
experience success this sea-
son.
Abington Heights
The Lady Comets will
have to learn to adjust to a
new coach, as Erica Suitch
will take over the duties from
Michelle Lacoe.
Suitch played field hockey
for years at Crestwood, and
was a member of the
schools 2003 and 2004 state
championship teams. She
was captain of the 26-0 team
in her senior season.
After high school, Suitch
played one season at the
University of Richmond,
followed by three for Hof-
stra.
She comes to the team
with coaching experience
working with the USA Field
Hockey Futures program at
its Kingston location as a
coach and for the Valley
Styx indoor club team.
Suitch was hired in early
August, and hasnt been
working with the Lady
Comets that long, but said so
far her team is eager to
learn.
The girls are anxious and
excited for the season, which
is good, said Suitch.
Right now were working
focusing on the fundamen-
tals.
Suitch said shes happy
with the way practice has
been going, and a few of her
players have already made a
strong impression on her, she
pointed out sophomores
Mallory McCoy, Paige Nota-
rrianni and Sarah Beamish,
as well as senior Jess Mahler
as her four players to watch.
I feel they are going to be
the strongest on the team,
said Suitch.
Mahler will be a co-cap-
tain of the team along with
senior Katie Jaeger.
Abington opened their
season Sept. 2 with a 2-1 loss
at home to Wallenpaupack.
Mahler scored for the Lady
Comets
Lackawanna Trail
The Lady Lions start this
season with a little more
stability than Abington
Heights.
The team finished 13-5-2
last season, earning a trip to
the District 2 Class AAA
championships, where they
lost 5-0 to Wyoming Valley
West.
The team brings back sev-
eral players, including Alexa
Rzucidlo, Aliza Furneaux,
Alyssa Mallory, Courtney
Ditchey, Cameron Crock,
Shelby Croasdale and Clar-
issa Eggleston, who all saw
substantial playing time last
season.
Also returning will be
head coach Sandy Spott,
who enters her 22nd season
as head coach, recorded her
300th career win last season.
Still, with so much return-
ing talent, Spott said the
team has a lot to which they
need to adjust.
I think were going to do
well, but the four players that
I did graduate were a loss,
said Spott.
One of the players lost to
graduation was defensive
threat Kayla Grunza, and
Spott is currently figuring
out who will replace her.
The shift on defense has
also promoted the coach to
implement a new, faster de-
fense to capitalize on the
teams speed.
We have a lot of speed,
thats a big benefit for me.
Lackawanna Trail opened
it season with a 5-1 win at
home Sept. 3 against Hazle-
ton.

play drive that was set up by
a 31-yard punt return by Pat
Marino. The extra point was
missed and the Cavaliers led
6-0 with 4:19 remaining in
the first quarter.
Lakeland quickly respon-
ded with a touchdown of
their own, just 19 seconds
later when Ryan Nichols
raced 73 yard for a score on
the first play of the drive.
Nichols added the extra
point giving the Chiefs a 7-6
lead.
The Cavaliers regained the
lead on the ensuing posses-
sion as Kupinski scored on a
12-yard touchdown run to
end a four-play 62-yard
drive. The touchdown was
set up by a 45-yard comple-
tion from quarterback Tom
Timlin to receiver J.J. Fives.
Lakelands Jon Sekelsky
intercepted Timlins two-
point conversion attempt.
Scranton Prep led 12-7 with
2:28 left in the first quarter.
Nichols put Lakeland back
in the lead less than a min-
ute later, scoring on 48-yard
touchdown run. Nichols
added the extra point to put
the Chiefs ahead 14-12. The
senior running back rushed
for 186 yards on 14 carries,
including 147 in the first
half.
Timlin was intercepted by
Lakeland linebacker Kyle
Kiehart on the Cavaliers
next possession, but the
Chiefs could not capitalize
on the turnover as Scranton
Prep defensive end Ryan
Rudalavage recovered a Ni-
chols fumble at the 22 yard
line.
On the next play, Scranton
Prep quarterback Griff DiBi-
leo connected with Rock
Magnotta to the 45 yard
line, however Magnotta was
stripped of the ball, which
was recovered by Lakelands
J.J. Rojenches at the Cava-
liers 42.
The Chiefs generated
points off the turnover when
Kiehart found Alex Filarsky
for a 31-yard touchdown.
After a missed extra point,
Lakeland led 20-12 with
6:55 remaining in the second
quarter.
On the Cavaliers next pos-
session, DiBileo connected
with Kupinski on a screen
pass for a 30-yard touch-
down, the result of a seven-
play 62-yard drive. Marino
was stopped by Lakelands
Billy Thomas on the two-
point conversion attempt.
The Chiefs led 20-18 with
3:27 to go in the first half.
DiBileo completed five
passes on seven attempts for
80 yards, while Timlin had
11 completions on 22 passes
for 174 yards.
Weve been back and
forth with them, Donato
said. We told both of them
that they were gonna play.
We decided to start Timlin,
he had a good scrimmage
last week. We told DiBileo
youre gonna get right in, I
have a lot of confidence in
you, too. Thats how we plan
on using them all year.
The Cavaliers recovered a
Nichols fumble at the Chiefs
39-yard line to start the
fourth quarter, but Scranton
Prep failed to capitalize on
the good field position.
After a Lakeland three-
and-out, punter Alex Fil-
arsky booted a 62-yard punt,
putting the ball at the Cava-
liers 13-yard line with 7:37
left in the fourth quarter
Timlin engineered a 12-
play scoring drive eventually
hitting Kupinski on a 14-
yard touchdown pass with
2:56 remaining in the game.
Kupinski was stopped on the
initial two-point attempt, but
a Lakeland face mask penal-
ty gave Scranton Prep anoth-
er shot, which Kupinski con-
verted giving the Cavaliers a
26-20 lead.
We knew we were locked
back deep, but I told the
guys in the huddle that
weve done this before from
freshman year, we can get it
done, Timlin said. We just
took it play by play and got
that one to punch through. It
feels great to get a win like
this for the program.
Kupinski sealed the victo-
ry when he intercepted a
Kiehart pass on third-and-
nine from the Chiefs 23-yard
line.

While the Abington Heights
and Lakeland high school
boys soccer programs lost
several key players from
teams that advanced to district
title games a year ago, both
coaches have high expecta-
tions for the upcoming season
due to the talented players
who are returning.
Abington Heights
The Comets lost ten seniors
who contributed significantly
from last years team, includ-
ing all-conference selections
Justin Klingman and Brian
Levy at center midfield, and
James Loboda at forward. The
team also lost full-time start-
ers Connor Ellsworth and
Willie Steinbach at outside
defender and Eric Wasser in
goal. Zach Burns and Oguz
Cangoz were contributors at
midfield, Matt Sopinski was a
key reserve on defense and
Dan Brazil saw time as a for-
ward.
At goalie, senior Connor
Pacyna is expected to be the
starter. According to head
coach Steve Klingman, Pacy-
na will get good competition
from sophomore Justin Por-
piglia.
They are both solid goa-
lies, Klingman said. Hope-
fully goaltending will be one
of our strengths.
Junior Ryan Patrick, who
was an all-conference selec-
tion last year, returns as a
starter at center-back. He will
be joined by senior Brian
Mattern.
The starters at outside de-
fender will be senior Mark
Garbin and sophomore Sante
Romaldini. At center mid-
field, the starters will be se-
nior Johnny Loboda, who is
moving from defense, and
junior Matt Hoyt.
Senior Ian Williams returns
as a starter at outside mid-
field. The other starter at the
position is expected to be
senior Seth Pinches. Senior
Tommy Steinbach, the teams
leading scorer last year, re-
turns as a starter at forward.
He will be joined by junior
Kevin Elwell.
Ben Kalmanowicz, who
started last season as an out-
side midfielder, is expected to
contribute on defense and
midfield after he returns from
a fractured leg. According to
Klingman, Kalmanowicz will
be out until at least late Sep-
tember.
The lone senior reserve for
the Comets is Brian Vietz at
defense/midfield. Junior Ca-
leb Overholser could see
some time at defense/mid-
field.
We are pretty experienced
up the middle, Klingman
said. We have some seniors
on the outside, but they
havent seen a ton of time.
A large group of sophomore
reserves will provide depth for
the Comets. Jeremy Cum-
mings, Joe Dietzer and Justin
Levy may see time on either
defense or midfield. Chris
Ferrario, Tyler Julian and
Sebastian Barry could see
time at midfield. Tarek Khalil
and Steve Pelaez are expected
to contribute at forward.
A lot will depend on how
our sophomores develop
throughout the season, Kling-
man said.
Yaser Al-Kameshki, a fresh-
man, may see some action as
a midfielder.
The Comets finished last
season with a 16-3 record.
They won the Lackawanna
League and advanced to the
District 2 Class AAA title
game, losing to Coughlin, 1-0.
Our first goal is to repeat
as league champions and we
should be in the ballpark if we
play well, Klingman said.
For many years Abington
Heights has dominated the
league, but the last few years
it has started to even out. A lot
of teams are getting better,
including Scranton Prep,
Mountain View, Delaware
Valley, Honesdale and North
Pocono. Our second goal
would be to win the district
championship and advance to
states.
The Comets opened their
season at home against Ho-
nesdale Sept. 2 .
Lakeland
The Chiefs return eight
players who saw significant
time on varsity last season.
Seniors Jim Germain and
Adam Wychowanec, and ju-
nior Bradley Strong return as
starters on defense. Nate
Wnuk, a senior, returns as a
starter at midfield. Junior
Casey Albino, who led the
team in scoring last season,
and sophomore Ray Lines, are
expected to contribute heavily
in the midfield, while junior
Matt Morell and sophomore
James Blevins will be the
primary forwards.
According to head coach
Joe DePasquale, sophomores
Scotty Cortes and Cody Mor-
com are competing for the
staring goaltender spot. Fresh-
man Alex Rieder should also
see time at the varsity level.
After finishing last season
with 17-2-2 record and ad-
vancing to the District 2 Class
A title game where they fell to
Mountain View, coach De-
Pasquale has high hopes for
his team.
My expectation is to win
the district championship, he
said. Were coming together,
he added. We have some
freshmen that are going to
play so we are trying to get
them to gel together and be
ready for the season.
The Chiefs lost goaltender
Chris Vojick, center mid-
fielder Jimmy Marcinko, out-
side midfielder Taylor Chiesa
and defender Ian Hoyle off
last years squad.
DePasquale views Forest
City as the biggest threat in
the division given their suc-
cess in recent years.
The Chiefs opened their
season at home against River-
side Sept. 2.

This year, both the Abing-
ton Heights and Lakeland
High School soccer teams
will be competing in Divi-
sion 1 of the Lackawanna
girls soccer league.
Abington Heights
The Lady Comets made a
splash in their first season of
Division 1 play, after switch-
ing from playing in the
spring to the fall, last season.
The team tied with Scran-
ton Prep for second place in
the league, and won the Dis-
trict 2 Class AAA champion-
ships, and advanced to the
first round of the PIAA state
playoffs.
Several players from last
years team will be returning
this season, including Alex
Chapman, Maggie Scanlon,
Emily Sullivan, Emma
Black, Sarah Sopinski, Isa-
belle Clauss, Abbey Burke,
Katrina Helcoski, Lexi Thiel
and Melanie Coles.
With so many players com-
ing back, many are expecting
the team to repeat last years
success, but head coach E.T.
Hunter is quick to point out
its going to take a lot of hard
work to return to the cham-
pionships.
We have a lot of work to
do on our game, said Hun-
ter. Our game resembles
what it was last year, but
theres room for improve-
ment.
Were currently working
on strategy and defense.
Hunter said hes very hap-
py with is the leadership hes
seen from the upperclass-
men.
We have a lot of lead-
ership coming from all the
returning players, said Hun-
ter.
They have all been excel-
lent with the underclassmen.
Lakeland
Standing in the way of
Abington Heights this season
will be the Lady Chiefs.
Lakeland moves from Divi-
sion 3 to 1 this season. The
team finished 11-0-1 last year
and won the District 2 Class
A championship.
Returning to the team this
season is Dana Prudente,
Isabelle Standefer, Heather
Smith, Mora Hoyle, Megan
Tweedy, Tia Newberry and
Morgan Sedorovitz.
Head coach Amanda Vi-
tazkovich said the returning
players are great leaders.
The upperclassmen are
great leaders who lead by
example. They do the little
things that count and have a
wealth of experience to draw
on, said Vitazkovich.
Vitazkovich takes over as
head coach this year after
serving as an assistant coach
under Joe Kovaleski for the
last two years, and said shes
confident her team will be
able to make the adjustment
to be competitive in the new
division.
We have been working
very hard to be competitive
in the new division. If our
younger players adjust to the
speed of a varsity game, we
should be competitive with
the other teams in our
league, said Vitazkovich.
Lakeland and Abington
Heights will face off against
each other Sept. 21, 6 p.m.,
at Abington Heights High
School.

2010. Following initial ques-
tions of whether she would
be fully functional afterward,
she beat the odds and is now
able to breathe, walk, talk
and live. Uhl has been a con-
stant contributor for P.A.R.
for Parkinsons over the
years.
Saunders, also 45, is fight-
ing an inoperable form of
pancreatic cancer. He will
soon be participating in a
clinical trial at Thomas Jef-
ferson Medical Center in
Philadelphia.
Jay was someone we all
knew because we grew up
together, Bell said. We felt
it would be important to rec-
ognize his disease.
That goes to show the wide
reaching charity of P.A.R. for
Parkinsons. Its important
for us to recognize there are
other people with other prob-
lems, Bell noted. The
thought is that research for
one can help another.
Tickets are still available
for the event and come in two
formats: Golf Package tickets
are $225 and include greens
fee and cart, driving range,
lunch, cocktails and dinner;

Kern is thankful for all the
