RANSOM TWP. - Questions regard-
ing the alleged theft of Ransom Town-
ship funds by former Ransom Township
Secretary-Treasurer Kathy Zielinski
were in abundance from residents in
attendance at the regular Board of Su-
pervisors meeting held Oct. 1 at Mount
Dewey Community Center.
According to the Ransom Township
Forensic Audit Report, Zielinski had
allegedly spent more than $98,000 of
Ransom Township funds for personal
expenses. Zielinski, 60, of South
Abington Township, who was charged
Sept. 25 with one second -degree felony
count of theft by unlawful taking,
waived a preliminary hearing scheduled
for Oct. 1 at 10:30 a.m. in Central Court
at the Lackawanna County Courthouse,
Scranton.
At the Oct. 1 meeting, resident Bill
Auriemma asked regarding the legal
proceedings, Whos representing the
rest of the people here?
Solicitor Edmund Scacchitti said the
District Attorneys office is representing
the people of the township, and Au-
riemma asked whether the township
will have any input in the case or in the
possible sentencing.
We will have an opportunity to sub-
mit a victims impact statement prior to
sentencing, said Scacchitti, and in it
we are going to ask for restitution. So,

We have seen an increase in
the number of people using the

CLARKSSUMMIT- The
AbingtonHeights School Board
pickedupdiscussions Oct. 3that
beganmonths agoregardingthe
merits of grade weighting.
AbingtonHeights Assistant
Superintendent of Schools Dr.
Thomas Quinnpresentedthe
boardwithhis thoughts onhow
he thinks the district should
move forward.
Last spring, we hadanun-
derlyingfeelingthat a change in
grade weightingis something
that we want todotoencourage
anincrease inrigor inour high
school curriculum, Quinnsaid.
Withthat inmind, I hada two-
part proposition. The first part
of the propositionwas tolookat
the extra weight giventoAPand
honors courses andhowtodif-
ferentiate betweenthe two. I
thinkpart of the motivationwas
if we have someone whois able
togoeither honors or APandwe
differentiate betweenthe two,
andmake the APmore valuable,
maybe we couldencourage

A
stroll through two of Wa-
verlys historic cemeteries
reveals headstones of Revolu-
tionary War veterans, former slaves
and early settlers, among others.
Whether preserved by vigilant care-
takers or salvaged by a congrega-
tion, the markers share stories with
those who seek them.
Hickory Grove Cemetery
On Miller Road, this cemetery has
been a final resting place for the
dead since 1807. Its 12 acres are
lovingly tended by brothers Paul
and Bob Webb. The pair has been
working the grounds for more than
40 years and they have witnessed
much during that time.
Henry used to call us the ency-
clopedia, Bob Webb said about his
former boss, Henry Belin, the presi-
dent of the cemetery. The brothers
pointed out Belins gravestone.
He was a really good man, a
good friend, he added.
The Belin family built the Wa-
verly Community House as a gift to
the community. Many Belins are
laid to rest in the cemetery.
Hickory Grove Cemetery has
three entrances from Miller
Road. The main entrance is the
closest to Carbondale Road. At
that entrance are the historic mark-
er signs. Turning in there, one is on
the northernmost driveway. Driving
all the way back to the woods, one
comes to the most northwestern
point, an apt start for a walking tour.

For the second year, the brain-
child of Deborah Kennedy will
come to life.
In late summer of 2011, Kenne-
dy got the idea to create an event
that took a Ladies Night Out and
magnified it to combine all types
local retailers.
For the wine diva there will be a
wine pull. Buy a $10 ticket and
youre guaranteed a bottle of wine
valued at least $20.
Like last year, Diva Night will
be held at the Nichols Village
Hotel and Spa in Clarks Summit
from 6 to 9 p.m. Parking space is
limited, and because attendees
deserve to arrive in style, accord-
ing to Kennedy, they will be able
to park in Penn Security Bank,
Weis Supermarket or Penn East
and be shuttled to Nichols Village
in a limo, courtesy of The Limo
Guy. Kennedy and the Diva com-
mittee tried to think of everything.
Tickets are on sale for $20.
They must be purchased in ad-
vance at Penn Security, Abington
Branch, Nichols Village Hotel and
Sonias Contemporary Clothing.
The Sexy Diva, at a light-up bar
provided by MCR productions.
Each Sexy Diva beverage will be
served in a commemorative glass.
Not only will there be beverages
of all kinds available, hors
doeuvres and desserts will be
catered by the Nichols Village.
Thanks to Nichols Village and
Body and Soul, attendees can
receive a complimentary mini
massage.
What girly hangout would be
complete without clothes and ac-
cessories? Sonias Contemporary
Clothing and Pierres will satisfy
the urge to get the inner vogue on
with a mini-fashion show.
A silent auction will feature
opportunities to purchase a trip
for two to New York City for the
Radio City Christmas Spectacular,
a Birchwood Fitness Center mem-
bership and gift certificates for
of things women love to do to-
gether under one roof to showcase
what local businesses can offer.
Diva Night in the Abingtons,
hosted by the Abington Business
Professional Association, has
learned from its maiden voyage
and is hoping to make the event
better every time.
This years Oct. 24 event will
feature 35 local vendors each
highlighting a sample of their
wares for the attendees, with
many items available for pur-
chase. Danielle & Co., The Jew-
elry Room, Chocolate Creations,
Studio RD & Co and Sole to Soul
are just a smattering of the busi-
nesses involved.
Kennedy said she knows from
experience that shopping with the
gals can make people hungry and
thirsty, so Diva Night will feature
a signature drink of the evening,

CLARKS SUMMIT- Most
mothers share the same appre-
hension when they send their
children off to their first day
of school: they wonder if their
child will fit in, have a good
teacher or enjoy school. But
now moms no longer need to
be alone in their worries.
A new ministry in Clarks
Summit called Moms in
Prayer is part of a National
Ministry that allows mothers
to meet and pray about their
children while theyre at
school.
I have been part of this
wonderful ministry for over 13
years. The time commitment
is minimal for the return on
investment. It is important to
have a dedicated time to pray
for our children and the
schools they attend, said
Mary Dingler.
The group in Clarks Sum-
mit began because one mom
wished to pray for her chil-
dren and the school they at-
tended said Dingler.
I will be happy to assist
anyone with either finding a
group or getting one started.
Mom prayer groups exist in
every state in the U.S., as well
140 other countries. In 1984,
Fern Nichols fearfully sent her
two eldest children off to pub-
lic junior high, she asked God
to bring her another mom to
pray with her for their chil-
dren and school. And now
years later her prayer has
grown into something much
larger, a worldwide program.
Nichols serves as president
of Moms in Prayer Interna-
tional. And she recently re-
turned from a trip to Tanzania.
Moms have been praying
together for 20 years there.
I expect great turnouts,
said Dingler of the Clarks
Summit group. Groups meets
one hour each week and are
determine which date/time
works best for them once the
group is established.
Dingler said, The group is
open to women who know a
child in school and wish to
pray for them, grandmothers,
aunts, sisters, cousins, women
youth leaders. Our goal is
to have every school covered
in prayer.
The local Moms in Prayer
ministry will meet every
Wednesday from 8:30 a.m. to
9:30 a.m. at Summit Baptist
Bible Church, 232 Noble
Road, Clarks Summit. All
mothers with children who
attend any school in the
Abington Heights School
District are invited to attend.
For more information on the
local Moms in Prayer group,

gler@cox.net. For more in-
formation about Moms in

CLARKS SUMMIT- Clarks
Summit Borough council voted
unanimously to attempt to re-
cover funds owed by the bor-
oughs former tax collection
agency at its meeting Oct. 3.
Don Wilkinson/Centax tax
collection agency is in default
and in the process of filing for
bankruptcy, according to Jamie
Kresge, Clarks Summit repre-
sentative to the Lackawanna
Tax Collection Committee.
Kresge, who approached the
council about the issue in De-
cember, said the agency is hold-
ing an estimated $7 million in
outstanding checks fromresi-
dents owed to all municipalities.
The borough, which has since
switched to Berkheimer Tax
Administrator, will seek to
recover owed tax money from
Travelers Insurance, which
underwrote Centaxs collec-
tions. Kresge suggested council
file a claimas soon as possible,
because other municipalities
will be filing claims as well and
funds may only be available on
a first-come, first-served basis.
He said it was unclear how
much the insurance would pay
or whether the outstanding
checks could be cashed.
Its a rats nest, he said of
the situation. For people to get
the money theyre due, it may
or may not happen.
Council member Herman
Johnson said he wished elected
officials of the Abingtons had
moved to audit the tax agency
when irregularities first ap-
peared.
We are the money keepers
for our residents, he said. We
shouldve done a forensic audit
long ago.
Council passed a motion to
file a claimwith Travelers and
will revisit the issue at its No-
vember meeting.
In other business, council
approved a conditional use
application for Attorney Carrie
A. Buscarini to convert the
property at 108 Stone Ave. into
a lawoffice.
At Council member John-
sons urging, council discussed
forming a committee to explore
the possibility of consolidating
Abington police forces into
one.
Were looking at regional-
ization, he said, explaining that
council was waiting to hear
back fromthe state on the feasi-
bility of the project. He said he
wanted to forma committee to
try to make progress on the
issue.

At the Sukkot Party
Oct. 3, hosted by Rabbi
Benny and Chaney Ra-
poport, directors of the
Jewish Discovery Cen-
ter, Waverly, fun for all
ages included pony rides
and a jumping castle for
children, entertainment
for adults and a barbe-
cue dinner for everyone
to savor.
Rabbi Rapoport said
of the festival, The
Sukkot is about the in
gathering. Its about
celebrating the traditions
with the palm and the
(etrog) citron, eating in
the hut (sukkah) which
represents Gods em-
brace. It reminds us
about the clouds of glo-
ry. The Jews when they
left Egypt, for 40 years
they were protected on
all six sides with mirac-
ulous clouds that shel-
tered and healed them-
To remind us, we have
six sides to this hut
(referring to a hut where
guests enjoyed their
meal). He added, And
its a time for rejoicing
and unity, being togeth-
erso were celebrat-
ing.
For seven days and
nights, all meals are
eaten in the sukkah, a
hut of temporary con-
struction with a roof-
covering of branches.
Sukkot begins the fifth
day after Yom Kippur,
one of the most solemn
Jewish holidays, and is
in stark contrast to Yom
Kippur and observed
with joyous celebration.
Guests gathered to
celebrate the Sukkot
Festival, the harvest fes-
tival, at the centers new
home in Waverly, where
a plan is in development
to a create a space for

chores or household mainte-

severity of medical conditions,
can continue to live at home if
they receive help froma trained
healthcare professional.
The second consideration is a
financial one. Asurvey con-
ducted by a major insurance
company in 2010 estimated that
the average monthly cost for
living at an assisted living facil-
ity is approximately $3,300 per
month, per person. If your par-
ent is able to reside at home with
assistance, the help he or she
needs can be provided for less
cost per month.
To find these home- based
Part 1ina two-part series.
There comes a time in life
when the child becomes the
caretaker for an aging parent.
For some this is a situation that
comes about suddenly because
of a health crisis a stroke or
broken bone, for example. For
others there is a gradual slope
where the parent needs increas-
ing care as time goes on.
The first question that needs
to be addressed is whether or
not the parent can stay in his or
her home. Often many people
are able to continue living in
their homes with some assist-
ance. This help could be as
simple as assistance with daily
services you might contact a
private agency. Any private
agency you consider should be
licensed and accredited by the
appropriate state agencies.
There are also some indications
that the agency you use will
provide a high level of service
for your parent. Some things
that you will find in a reputable
home health agency include:
Astaff that provides respect-
ful and courteous service to the
client.
Asubstitute staff member
available if the regular aide is ill
or fails to showfor work.
Aformal care plan for each
patient that is regularly reviewed
by staff.
The clients physician and
family are kept informed of
progress and any changes.
Aformal complaint process.
In many communities there
are local agencies that provide
services to the elderly for free or
at a lowcost. Volunteers provide
help with basic daily tasks such
as cooking, companionship, or
transportation to appointments.
In Lackawanna County, the
local Agency on Aging, Visiting
Nurse Association, and Te-
lespond Senior Services are
agencies where you can find
more information on home
based services for your aging
parent.
You can also consider hiring
an individual outside of an
agency to provide services for
your family member. If you
make private arrangements with
someone to provide care for
your parent you will have to
verify that he or she is autho-
rized to work in the United
States and will also be need to
pay Social Security and other
required payroll taxes.
If your parent decides to stay
in his or her home, you might
want to consider getting a per-
sonal emergency response sys-
temfor them. This is a system
that allows your parent to call
for help if he or she falls or in
the event of an emergency.
Emergency contact information
for family members, local po-
lice and ambulance services are
kept on file. When the device is
activated, help is sent to the
home and the individuals on the
list are contacted and made
aware that the emergency re-
sponse systemwas activated.
There are many different
resources available online where
you can get more information
about home based care for an
aging parent. They include:
AARP www.aarp.org
Children of Aging Parents
www.capsforcaregivers.org
Eldercare Resource Center
www.eldercare.gov
National Caregiving Founda-
tion www.caregivingfounda-
tion.org
There will be times when it
will not be possible for your
parent to remain at home. Next
time I will talk about finding the
right care facility for your fam-
ily member.

more students to take APcours-
es. We proposed to keep the
current 5 percent for AP. In
order to differentiate, we would
knock the weight for honors
down to 3 percent so there is
some premiumif a student
chooses honors over level two,
but there is a greater premiumif
the student pushes into AP. The
second part of the proposal was
to apply the weight not quarterly,
as is the current way, but once at
the end of the year to the final
grade. The rationale for that was
to say, in a sense by weighting
things quarterly, we distort the
picture of howsomeone is per-
forming.
Quinn thinks some people
have a skewed viewof the pur-
pose of grading.
I believe the purpose of grad-
ing is that one students grade in
a course has nothing do to with
anybody else in the class, he
said. It should be a measure of
their performance relative to
what theyre expected to know.
If teachers and students are
doing the job that they should,
everyone should have an A.
There is still a very strong belief
that the purpose of grading is to
rank and sort. The reason I think
we want to shift the emphasis
toward content is because our
kids are competing against stu-
dents fromall over the world. I
firmly believe we have to
change the culture about what
grading is and what school is
for, but I dont think its going to
be a quick and easy thing to do.
Quinn said he is puzzled by
the districts poor marks on the
PSSAs (Pennsylvania Systemof
School Assessment).
Our high school resultsare
truly baffling, he said. We do
have kids who have grown, but
we have far more who have not.
I cant tell you today why that is.
When I walk down the halls, I
see great things going on in the
classrooms. I see kids actively
engaged in substantive thinking.
Yet we get back numbers saying
not everyone is growing
enough. Its a puzzle.
Students take the PSSAs in
grades 3-8 and again in11th.
Quinn said the district sees a big
drop off in11th grade fromthe
cumulative scores fromthe
previous years.
Board member Frank Sante-
riollo believes a lack of concen-
tration might be a reason for the
lowgrades. You have to take
into account that the PSSAs are
not counted toward college or
graduation, he said. Kids may
not be really doing their best
compared to the SATs. Its an
importance factor.
High School Principal Pamela
Murray, Assistant Principals Mr.
AndrewSnyder and Mr. Marc
Wyandt, the two curriculum
directors, Dr. Mahon and Dr.
Quinn will spend time in the
high school, 45 minutes at a
time, in the back of classrooms.
Were not looking for whos
doing what wrong, Quinn said.
Were looking for whats going
on in the rooms and what kind
of patterns are developing in
multiple rooms. Were going to
talk directly to kids and try to
take as expansive a viewas we
possibly can. Ultimately, wed
like to develop a set of observa-
tions that guides our thinking to
come up with an explanation."
Quinn recommended that the
grade weighting for honors and
APremain as is.

FALL
borhood dispute It was noted a hear-
ing was set for Oct. 30, at 3 p.m. for
Julian Deuerlein, a tenant of Sunset
Mobile Home Park. According to Zon-
ing Officer Bob Lukasiewicz, a total of
15 non-traffic citations were issued to
Deuerlein, who failed to pay the fines.
The matter involves a neighborhood
dispute residents said has been ongoing
since March. The situation was first
brought to the attention of the super-
visors by Officer Thomas Kreidler dur-
ing his report at the Aug. 15 meeting,
when he said police received reports
about the man who had allegedly been
harassing and terrorizing the neigh-
bors.
Residents also said at the August
meeting they saw him dismantling re-
frigerators and other Freon-containing
equipment and dumping the chemical
onto his rented property. Because it is
an environmental issue, they said they
contacted the DEP for help, but without
success.
Supervisors said at the August meet-
ing they also were in contact with Mary
Beth Nester at the DEP, but were told
the problem is too small for the depart-
ment to handle. At the October meeting,
resident Nancy Weinhardt asked if the
Supervisors had followed up, and Bird
said he had tried contacting Nester
again, but with no response.
Nester could not be reached for com-
ment.
Correspondence from UGI Util-
ities Supervisor Dennis Macheska
read from a notice received regarding a
gas installation stream crossing on Dark
Region Road. Bird explained this is the
property owned by Bud Stann, where a
large section of pipeline is protruding
from the creek.
Road Report During the road
report, Bird said the work to secure the
sliding bank on Ledge Drive is now
complete, thanks to a generous donation
of rocks from Alliance Landfill.
Were hoping that it holds up for us,
he said.
Weight Limit and Roadway Mainte-
nance Ordinance The supervisors
passed a weight limit ordinance, regu-
lating and restricting the operation of
motor vehicles on public roadways in
the township fixing and regulating the
permissible weight and loads to pro-
vide for the maintenance of the roads
should the roadways be damaged due to
heavy loads traveling over them. Brown
explained local traffic will be exempt.
Bills to Ransom Recreational Shoot-
ing Sports, LLCResidents questioned
whether Ransom Recreational Shooting
Sports had yet paid its bills owed to the
Township for the engineers services.
Secretary-Treasurer Sara Griggs said
payment had not yet been received to
her knowledge, but the bills had just
recently been sent.
Andrew Massimilian, of Ransom Rec-
reational Shooting Sports, LLC, who
was not present at the meeting, said via
telephone interview he did recently
receive the bills for the first time and
has questions on them. He said he is
analyzing the bills and will be in contact
with the township soon.
if your question is, whos protecting the
interests of the taxpayers in terms of
getting our money back, the answer is,
well file a victims impact statement
and request restitution in the total
amount that weve determined is mis-
sing.
He later added the cost of the forensic
audit will be included in that sum.
Supervisor David Bird added that he
and Supervisor Bud Brown attended the
hearing that morning, during which time
they spoke with Deborah Bott, Victim/
Witness Coordinator at the District At-
torneys Office, who informed them any
residents who wish may send a letter to
the judge, who will read each one. Bird
said he did not yet know where or to
whom the letters should be sent.
Bott could not be reached for com-
ment.
Bird said the next hearing in the case
is scheduled for Nov. 16 at 9 a.m.
Auriemma asked if the forensic audit
conducted covered every township cred-
it card, not just Zielinskis, over the past
five years.
Scacchitti replied, Every single de-
posit and withdraw going back five
years.
Auriemma also questioned how the
credit card bills and personal checks to
Zielinski passed through the Super-
visors, who signed them. For five
years, he said, you signed bills for
credit cards and never saw a transaction
going to Sams Club, going to Rite
AidThats unbelievable, thats hard to
believe. Why would you sign a check
without reading what you were sign-
ing?
Supervisor David Bird said, Do I feel
like I have a fault in this? Absolute-
ly...Im not going to sit here and lie and
say I didnt. But we did watch what we
signed...Everybody in this roomif you
want to pounce on us, you have every
right. We have fault at this, but we we-
rent 100 percent wrong. We had a pro-
fessional auditor that missed this for
five years.
Supervisor William Bud Brown
said, When this is all overyou come
to the office and Ill show you how slick
it was. I missed it the first
timeYouve gotta see this to believe
it.
Other residents questioned why the
secretary had a credit card in the first
place. Scacchitti said it was needed for
expenses such as office supplies, and a
resident asked why petty cash could not
be used instead.
Petty cash creates a whole other
problem, Scacchitti said. At least a
credit card has an audit trail.
Resident Lisa Levan asked why the
forensic audit only covered the last five
years. Scacchitti said that was the time
period requested by the State Police, but
he could not give a reason.
Trooper Connie Devins, spokesperson
for the State Police, said via a telephone
interview that the statute of limitations
on theft is five years and if the audit
were to go back farther than that, it
would have to be of the townships ini-
tiation.
Resident Hank Rowinski asked, In
the midst of all this, what have we done
so that this wont happen again?
Brown said now when the township
receives a credit card bill and the super-
visors sign the payments, the statement
is attached. The bills are checked now
very carefully, he said.
It was noted, unrelated to the current
prosecution, that the auditors are cur-
rently in the process of looking into the
wage tax records, as Zielinski was re-
sponsible for those as well.

ing included:

Esther Bauer, former Ausch-
witz concentration camp pris-
oner and holocaust survivor,
travels the country recounting
her story of imprisonment,
survival and liberation to stu-
dents as often as she can, so
that they will learn what hap-
pened and see to it that it never
happens again.
Her bounding energy and
joy for life is infectious and
leaves audiences filled with
respect, awe and appreciation
for the indestructability of the
human spirit.
On Oct. 17 at 7 p.m. at Penn
State Worthington Scranton,
she will recount her experi-
ences as a Holocaust survivor,
as well as her message of hope
and determination to live each
day, have fun and be a human
being.
Born in Hamburg, Germany
in 1924, she found herself,
along with her parents, both
doctors, deported to a ghetto in
Czechoslovakia where they
became prisoners. Her father
died six weeks later. After two
years there, she married, and
eventually found herself, her
mother and new husband in
Auschwitz, where her husband
was murdered and her mother
eventually died.
Esther survived and experi-
enced exhilaration at being
liberated. In her lecture, she
will recount all of her experi-
ences as well as her message
of hope and appreciation for
life.
The lecture will be held in
The View Caf in the campus
Study Learning Center. It is
free and open to the public.

The University of Scranton
faculty union and adminis-
tration reached a tentative
contract agreement Sept. 26,
according to Faculty Affairs
Council (FAC) Chairman
Michael Friedman.
The negotiations were on-
going since February and the
contract was initially set to
expire Aug. 31, until a 30-day
extension was agreed upon.
Stan Zygmunt, University
of Scranton spokesperson,
said the University is pleased
to have reached the tentative
agreement.
As we move beyond nego-
tiations, he said, we look
forward to working in con-
cert with our faculty to en-
sure that the educational ex-
perience we provide our stu-
dents is second to none.
Friedman expressed similar
sentiment, The members of
the FAC would like to extend
their warmest gratitude to the
members of the Universitys
negotiating team, who put in
a great deal of time and ef-
fort in reaching this tentative
agreement.
A final contract, however,
is yet to be signed, and ac-
cording to Friedman, the
faculty continues to maintain
its minimal compliance, a
status in which FAC mem-
bers uphold all mandatory
duties and temporarily refrain
from those not contractually
mandatory.
The FACs minimal com-
pliance was spurred by the
Department Chair Concept,
a main issue at the bargain-
ing table, which would take
the current positions of aca-
demic department chair-
persons as elected full-time
faculty members and replace
them with administrative
appointees.
Friedman said the Depart-
ment Chair Concept will not
be a part of the new contract,
and the FAC expects minimal
compliance to be lifted soon.
An exception to the status
was made Sept. 28 for the
Loyola Science Center Dedi-
cation, which the FAC en-
couraged its members to
attend if they so desired.
Once the clean tentative
agreement has been prepared,
and both sides agree upon its
contents, the FAC officers
will consult with the mem-
bership about lifting of Mini-
mal Compliance, Friedman
said. Faculty are eager to
resume their usual practice of
going above and beyond the
contractual requirements of
their jobs, but we cannot
recommend that they do so
until we are certain that the
features of the tentative
agreement are exactly what
we think they are.
Friedman explained the
next step is to assemble the
contract from several individ-
ual agreements made during
the negotiating process, and
present the document to the
286 faculty members for
examination. The FAC will
then hold up to three meet-
ings throughout October for
discussion of the contract and
its provisions.
At the end of the month if
the faculty members vote to
ratify it, and it is signed by
representatives from the FAC
and administration, it will go
into effect, extending for
three years to August 31,
2015.

TASTE OF THE
ABINGTONS A SUC-
CESS
Chairman Bob Vielee did
a fantastic job bringing it
all together and appreciates
everyones support of the
recent Taste of the Abing-
tons. President John Ham-
brose writes: The entire
club is grateful to the res-
taurants and other vendors
who generously supported
our event. They provided all
the food we enjoyed and
volunteered their time and
energy in support of the
clubs work in our commu-
nity. We also are thankful
for Nichols Villages hospi-
tality, the support of our
many sponsors, and to the
large number of Rotarians
who sold tickets and donat-
ed their time to planning
and presenting the event.
And without the hundreds
of guests who purchased
tickets, the club would not
have raised the funds it
needs to continue its work
in the community. To help
us thank our vendors and
other supporters, the club
printed its Guide to Fine
Dining and Living which
lists all of our vendors, sup-
porters and sponsors. The
guides were distributed to
our guests and we ask that
our guests use the guide
throughout the year to sup-
port the businesses that sup-
port our community. Copies
of the guide are available
from club members at the
Abington Community Li-
brary. Bob and John would
also like to thank the JOUR-
NAL for their weekly sup-
port of this event.
WHATS NEXT?
Our next venture will be
collecting items for under-
privileged children and bell-
ringing for Salvation Army.
However, do know that Ro-
tarians also like to have fun
and routinely get together to
socialize. Weve been meet-
ing more or less monthly at
local establishments on Fri-
day nights and have a bus
trip to Wine Country sched-
uled for November. So... if
you are looking for a way to
make new friends, Rotary is
also an excellent way to do
that, too.

explainedincremental purchase
costs as the excess cost of a
CNG, LNG, or bi- fuel (using
bothnatural andregular gas)
vehicle over the price of a gaso-
line or diesel fuel motor vehicle
of a similar model.
He saidgrants donot cover
the cost of fuelingstationor
other components of the in-

use natural gas. The purpose of
the grant was toget the ball

said, is for there tobe enough
fuelingstations for natural gas

September signals an end to a
long summer and the beginning
to a great year of scouting ad-
ventures. Troop160s first
meeting of the newscouting
year was held at Stanns Grove,
located near Ransom. Troop
160 also held their shooting trip
at this location earlier in the
year. We are thankful for being
able to use this area and are
looking forward to all of the fun
that will occur throughout the
year.
At this meeting, the new
senior patrol leader and his
assistants officially took control
of the troop. They were elected
at summer camp in July. The
meeting welcomed everyone
back and later we were treated
to snacks.
Later in the month, Troop
160 camped at Gettysburg. The
majority of the campout was
fromSaturday to Sunday. How-
ever some scouts slept over
Friday night. We set up camp at
McMillan Woods. Saturday
morning, we went to Gettys-
burg visitors center. There we
toured the museum, watched a
short filmand viewed the cy-
clorama. Afterward, scouts had
the option of hiking either the
Billy Yank or Johnny Reb trails.
Both trails went around Gettys-
burg and visited some popular
locations and battlefields. The
Johnny Reb is approximately a
five -mile hike and the Billy
Yank is about 10 miles long.
The hikes are a lot of fun and
take up a majority of the trip.
When the scouts finished, they
returned to McMillan Woods.
All of the scouts were split up
into three patrols. Each patrol
planned, bought, cooked and
cleaned up its own meals. The
food varied frombarbecue
chicken to sandwiches. The
night ended with some skits and
birthday cake for Alec Delia.
Sunday morning, we packed
our tents and ate breakfast with
our patrols. Afterward, we had
the option of touring the Eisen-
hower farmor taking a historic
hike through town. Scouts had
the opportunity to complete a
patch and earn a medal. There
are a total of five patches for
touring the museum, visiting
the Eisenhower farm, and com-
pleting each of the three hikes.
The five patches all go together
to forma larger patch. Once it is
complete, the scouts can pur-
chase a medal.
Gettysburg is a very fun and
educational place to camp. It is
a popular trip among us and we
have been doing it for many
years. Camping is one of the
many reasons why we enjoy
scouting. We cant wait until
our next one. Remember a
scout is cheerful.

the Abington Community
Library presents Flow Circus

Flow Circus is the invention
of Paul Miller, a performer
who uses juggling, magic and
other circus art as a teaching
medium.
His local appearance is
designed to help children ages
three to five learn the funda-
mentals of money, but do so
in a playful and memorable
way.
The Flow Circus perform-
ance is part of a year-long
program in Lackawanna
County Library System librar-
ies to teach very young chil-
dren the fundamentals of
money and its uses, and to
equip parents to reinforce
those lessons at home.
It is being funded by a grant
from PNC Foundation as part

million, multi-year initiative
to help prepare children from
birth to age five for success in
school and life.

To me there is nothing like
autumn with the flaming fo-
liage and the cool temper-
atures. Its the perfect time to
get out there and explore na-
ture. Local naturalist and
WNEP Pennsylvania Outdoor
Life personality Rick Koval
will be back at the Dietrich
Saturday, Oct. 13 at 11 a.m. to
teach us about animals that use
their natural camouflage and
adaptations to avoid detection
in a PowerPoint program
called Camouflage and Mim-
icry: What You See Isnt What
You See. Rick has presented
this program in the past at the
Dietrich to a full auditorium. It
is appropriate for all ages and
is very informative and inter-
active. Admission is free
thanks to funding from the
Overlook Estate Foundation.
In order to reserve a seat for
this event, please call us at
570.996.1500.
We also will have a Contem-
porary American Classical
Guitar Music concert this
weekend Sunday, Oct.14 at 3
p.m. Classical guitarist Jay
Steveskey will perform the
music from the finest Amer-
ican guitar composers. Span-
ning the country, they include
the smooth contemporary
sounds of Andrew York of
California, the jazz influences
of Frederic Hand from New
York City and Ralph Towner
from the group Oregon, the
modernism of Andrew Zohn
from the southeast, Bryan
Johnson from the Northwest
and the unique musical lan-
guages of Own Middleton and
Brian Head. If you have never
been to a classical guitar con-
cert, I would recommend it. It
is so soothing to listen to. Plus
it is quite an experience to see
Jay run his fingers across the
guitar so quickly and with
such agility. Tickets are $10
each and children can attend
for free. They will be available
at the door or you can reserve
them by calling 570.996.1500.
The following weekend will
also be filled with music at the
Dietrich. There will be a Bar-
bershop Vocal Clinic Sat-
urdays, Oct. 20, 27 and Nov. 3
from10:30 a.m. to noon. Pre-
sented by the Endless Moun-
tains Chorus, this workshop is
for anyone who likes to sing,
or would like to sing better.
During this clinic you will see
and hear Vocal Accord, a
quartet whose members have
collectively more than 60 years
of experience, express them-
selves by singing four-part
harmony. You will also receive
a Learning CD and music
that will allow you to learn a
song in four-part harmony
without reading music, plus
you will learn the mechanical,
technical and performance
elements of good quality sing-
ing and what you can do to
become a great singer. This
clinic is for novice as well as

n contrast to its legacy of instant
photography, creating photos
with his Polaroid camera may
take Joe Cummings days,
weeks, even months to capture an
essential moment.
The South Abington artist is one
of five photographers in the U.S. to
have his work selected for publi-
cation in, Cut Off Places, an in-
ternational anthology of poetry and
photography including works from
36 poets and artists fromaround the
world. Six pieces of his work will be
featured in the book to be printed in
Oslo, Norway, which consists of 300
pages of photography, poetry and
artists.
The community will have an op-
portunity to viewthe mediumof
Polaroid instant photography at his
exhibit, One Mile North, at Every-
thing Natural, 426 South State St., as
part of the upcoming Clarks Summit
Second Friday Art Walk. Cum-
mings, the featured artist for Octo-
ber, will offer a limited number of
instant, integral filmportraits at the
event Oct. 12.
It wasnt until 2006 that, by acci-
dent, I noticed a resurgence of Pola-
roid enthusiasts on the internet. Up-
on further investigation I discovered
this interest to be worldwide. Memo-
ries flashing with a newenthusiasm,
I found myself in my parents attic
digging out my old gear, said the
artist.
In his early teens, the first cameras
given to Cummings were two Pola-
roids, using mediumformat, posi-
tive/negative instant filmand in-
troduction. But as a young adult, the
Polaroid camera took a back seat
to his responsibilities of work, car,
apartment, marriage, house, etc
said Cummings. I cant imagine the
amount of filmused or if my Pola-
roid ever left my side frommy early
teens to late 20s. Then...as with most
young adults, life got in the wayI
always had a camera to mark impor-
tant milestones in life.
Cummings has been involved in
instant photography for 42 years.
The Polaroid camera has played a
major role in his introduction to
photography and consequent prolif-
eration in the art eliminating the
need for a lab for development, and
allowing Cummings the opportunity
to experiment at his own pace.

Court will make a royal appearance in

Tea Nov. 11at POSH.
The purpose of Queen Victorias
Court is to help others, said member
Margaret Messana of Clarks Summit.
Their help arrives free of charge to
those who ask for assistance. And
they are willing to help anyone who
asks, said Messana. This appearance
will benefit the American Cancer
Society.
Queen Victorias Court is an enact-
ment of a day in the life of a Victor-
ian woman dating back to 1837-1901.
One woman provides narration while
the others display clothing of the time
period. The ensembles displayed
range from dresses that would have
been worn to attend a tea, shop, re-
ceive visitors at home and other daily
activities. The Court has been doing
this for about three years.
A new face appearing in Queen
Victorias Court this year has been
Chloe Maloney, granddaughter of
Messana, who coordinates the events.
I love to have her be a part of this, I
wish all of my granddaughters would
get involved, said Messana.

Maloney, 17, is a senior at

School who participates in
an event at least once each
year. She said she enjoys
being a part of Queen Victo-

wearing the clothing.
They are so elegant and
classy, said Maloney of the
Victorian dresses. She also
thoroughly enjoys the finger
food at the events.
When she is not time -trav-

We also go to a lot of

Messana said of her grand-

Z
umafilmz, an Abilene,
Texas-based docu-
mentary production
company, is returning to
Clarks Summit Oct. 9 through
14 for its second trip to Pa. this

life in small American towns.
According to a Zumafilmz
press release, the company is
requesting anyone who has old
photographs or memorabilia
relating to the area in or
around Clarks Summit to
bring it to Everything Natural,

Summit, Oct. 9 through12,
between1and 5 p.m. Those
willing to have their material
used in the filmwill be asked
to wait while it is scanned and
copied.
Barry Kaplan, of Every-
thing Natural and President of
the Abington Business and
Professional Association, said
he is excited about the crews
upcoming visit and the films
focus on Clarks Summit.
We love the project itself,
Kaplan said, adding that one of
his favorite aspects of the film
is that it aims to showhow
individuals create community.
He said he believes it also
brings positive attention to the
community of Clarks Summit
and features local businesses
as an important part.
Zumafilmz Owner Carol
Windham, Producer Ricky
Long and Cameraman Phil
Fulton will be recording
around the Abington area, as
well as conducting scheduled
interviews while in town,
according to the press release.
Kaplan said the crewwill film

Clarks Summit is one of six
small towns featured in the
documentary, My Place on
the Planet, which according
to Windham, will be a short
documentary covering differ-
ent aspects of small town life
over various areas, ethnicities
and economic levels. It will
place an emphasis on the sig-
nificance of small towns to
American culture. It will also
feature the towns: Clyde, Tex-
as, Greensburg, Kan., Social
Circle, Ga., Anthony N.M. and
Port Townsend, Wash. I be-
lieve small towns feed cre-
ativity into the culture, Wind-
hamsaid during Zumafilmzs
Clarks Summit visit in Febru-
ary. She then added that she
found plenty of creativity,
patriotismand growth in
Clarks Summit, and was
amazed at the variety of skills
displayed by its residents, from
artists, to musicians to athletes.
Theres just people every-
where who do interesting
things in this town, she said.
According to Windham, the
Zumafilmz plans to enter the
documentary into filmfestiv-
als and hopes to eventually
have it aired on a travel or
history channel. It also plans to
have showings in each of the
six towns featured sometime at
the end of next year.

In the section furthest back there lies:
* Reverend W. Fletcher Burgette Sr.
Burgette passed away in 1974. He de-
scended from Thomas Burgette, who
escaped slavery and settled in Waverly.
Thomas last name had been Sumners,
but he changed it in Burkettown, Mary-
land while fleeing his master, to increase
his odds of escape.
The Reverend was a really nice guy,
said Paul Webb. He had a congregation
in Scranton and came here often.
* Behind Burgettes grave, in the
grassy area bordering the woods is
where many escaped slaves are thought
to be buried. There are no gravestones,
probably due to the peoples economic
situation at the time.
The second section from the woods is
the oldest. There one will find:
* Susanna Hall Stones grave, the
oldest in the cemetery, dated 1807. She
was the 20-year -old sister-in-law of
John Miller, a settler of Waverly and
first pastor of the First Baptist Church,
which still stands. When she died, Mill-
er realized there was nowhere to bury
Baptist residents, so he donated the land
for that purpose.
* The Stone family, early settlers of
Waverly, who show their affinity for
interesting names on their gravestones.
According to the names listed, there was
more than one Pardon Stone and she had
relatives Welcome Stone and Thankful
Stone.
* The Potter family plot, which pro-
vides comic relief in their epitaphs:
Husband, Gone but Not Forgotten,
states one. And next to it, simply Wife,
Gone.
* The grave of two former slaves,
husband and wife. Its easy to locate
with its veteran flag. The epitaph on
their shared stone states, Ann Matilda,
wife of Edward Smith, died January
1886. Forty years in slavery, now safe
in the arms of Jesus. Her husband is
decorated as a Civil War veteran.
Bob Webb explained why the stone is
difficult to read.
Its made of marble, which doesnt
last. Those made of granite stand the test
of time.
It is thought that the grassy area in the
same row as the Smiths stone is where
more former slaves are buried in un-
marked graves.
The third section from the woods is
the second oldest. There is located:
* The designated veterans area
where the flagpole stands. A number of
highly decorated veterans are buried
there; however, the exclusion of wives
and other family makes it less appealing
for some as a final resting place.
* The older section for veterans. There
can be found the grave of James Stone,
Revolutionary War veteran.
* John Phillips, another soldier in
the Revolutionary War, has a grave
bearing the flag of a veteran. It shows
that he was born in 1752 and lived to the
ripe old age of 94 years, eight months.
He and his family had survived the Brit-
ish massacre of 360 colonial settlers in
the Wyoming Valley in 1778. He went on
to become a Baptist Deacon, Justice of
the Peace for Luzerne county and Wa-
verly settler. His epitaph speaks to his
time at war:
Here rests Deacon John Phillips
A Soldier of the revolution
Servant of God, well done
Rest from my loved employ;
The battles fought, the victory won
Enter thy Masters joy.
Hickory Grove is the final resting
place to countless prominent families
and founding fathers of Waverly.
In addition, there lie at least two vic-
tims of murder, one a young nurse shot
by her jealous husband in the 1980s and
another young woman whose body was
found on a beach in 1962.
That was a big funeral, Paul Webb
described. Among the mourners were
several detectives. They watched every-
one. I didnt hear if that was ever
solved.
Like every other body in the cemetery,
they were laid to rest facing east.
The freshest dirt lies over a grave less
than two weeks old.
She was brought in from a funeral
home in State College, Bob Webb ex-
plained. The driver of the hearse said he
had driven Joe Paterno in that same car.
Waverly United Methodist Church
Cemetery
Coming back into town from the coun-
try, there is another historic cemetery,
though smaller in size. The Waverly
United Methodist Church, bordering the
Community House, hosts a small burial
ground behind it. Unfortunately, it did
not receive the care and maintenance
that Hickory Grove did over its nearly
140 years of existence. Some notable
headstones:
* Catherine Weidman, born in 1780,
who lived through a portion of the Revo-
lutionary War and the entire Civil War.
* Martin Colvin, a 24 -year -old sol-
dier who died during the Civil War.
* George Keyes, an escaped slave,
blacksmith and then soldier in the Col-
ored Regiment of the Union Army,
whose stone is decorated with the Veter-
ans flag.
There was a vault in the cemetery,
Pastor Barbara Snyder, leader of the
congregation for the past five years,
said. It belonged to the founding pastor
and his family. The vault fell into dis-
repair in the 1950s. Neighborhood chil-
dren were removing bones from it. Par-
ents were finding skulls in their chil-
drens bedrooms. At that time, the
church trustees voted to demolish the
vault.
They buried the bones and bulldozed
the vault, Snyder continued, At about
the same time, the story goes that the
then-pastor cleared the whole cemetery,
knocked down the stones and threw
them over the stone wall.
In recent years the congregation has
taken this on as an ongoing project. The
stones are raised carefully, in order not
to break them, and returned to their orig-
inal place. Members of the congregation
repair and piece them back together with
plaster.
Steve and Hank from Youngs Funeral
Home have come out to help us. Some
of the more fragile, marble stones are
difficult to lift. We want to do everything
possible to preserve them, to give their
final resting place the respect it de-
serves.

Clarks Summit, Pa. OCTOBER 10 TO OCTOBER 16, 2012 50
PECKVILLE- Abington
Heights High School senior
linebacker Jerry Langan
broke free on a blitz and
changed the momentum of
the football game Oct. 5.
With the score tied, 14-
14, and less than a minute
remaining in the second
quarter, Langan stripped
Valley View quarterback
Liam Callejas and Joe
Dietz pounced on the ball
for the Comets at their own
48-yard line. Abington
Heights quarterback Dante
Pasqualichio led his team
into field goal range with a
12-yard scramble and 20-
yard completion to Conor
Dickinson.
I was coming on the
outside, Langan said. I
just went at the quarterback
and knocked it out. It was a
big win and were pretty
excited because theyre a
great football team.
Despite Valley Views
efforts to ice kicker Ryan
Patrick by calling two time-
outs, the senior drilled a
42-yard field goal as time
expired in the first half.
I think it definitely
helped me, Patrick said. I
was getting a little tight on
the sideline and the time-
outs gave me time to
stretch.
I knew I had it. It felt
good.
Patricks field goal was
part of a 20-0 spurt in
Abington Heights 34-14
victory over Valley View in
a key Lackawanna League
Division I contest at Henz-
es Veterans Memorial Sta-
dium.
Defensively, I thought
we did a better job playing
within our schemes in the
second half, and we played
fundamentally sound foot-
ball, Abington Heights
head coach Joe Repshis
said.
Valley View took an
early lead when Rob Cas-
tellani capped an eight-play
66-yard drive with a 2-yard
touchdown run. T.J. Grant
added the extra point to
give the Cougars a 7-0
advantage with 8:25 left in
the first quarter.
The Comets quickly
answered with a touchdown
of their own.
Nathan Hollander return-
ed the ensuing kickoff 66
yards and running back
Quinn Karam did the rest,
scoring his first of two
touchdowns on a 7-yard
run. Patrick added the extra
point to knot the score, 7-7.
We really spend a lot of
time on special teams dur-
ing the week, Repshis
said. Thats a play where
we feel we can score
points. Some players gave
Nate a seam and he ran
with it. It was a great re-
turn.
Castellani, who rushed
for 85 yards on 15 carries,
scored his second touch-
down of the game on a
2-yard scamper to end a
nine-play 75-yard drive that
he kept alive with a 6-yard
pickup on a fake punt in-
side Cougars territory.

THROOP Both Mid Val-
ley and Lakeland knew what
the key to the meeting be-
tween the two football teams
would be: who would be able
to control the line of scrim-
mage. The Chiefs proved to
be the better team in that re-
gard.
Lakelands linemen out-
muscled the Spartans to lead
Lakeland to a 23-13 victory
Friday night, Oct. 5 at Mid
Valley in the first league game
for both teams.
Lakeland head coach Jeff
Wasilchak said the reason for
his teams excellent play on
the line was a great week of
practice.
This was our best week of
practice all year and it trans-
lates onto the field, Wasil-
chak said. You play how you
practice. We practiced pretty
well this week so we played
pretty well. By no means per-
fect, but were getting there,
and thats all you can ask for.
The plan for both teams on
offense boiled down to giving
the ball to their respective star
back, junior Chris Roche for
the Chiefs and junior Tyler
Collins for the Spartans, and
letting them grind out yards
behind their lines. A total of
81 of the 109 total plays were
rushing plays, and neither
team threw for more than 53
yards.
Both teams found success
with the run game early, but
Lakeland scored first late in
the first quarter. Senior quar-
terback Kyle Kiehart scram-
bled before hitting fellow
senior Joey Natale with a
quick 5-yard pass in the end
zone.
Mid Valley nearly respon-
ded on the following drive
before a fumble on the Chiefs
9-yard line prevented the
Spartans from getting on the
board. Mid Valley forced a
punt and would score on that
possession. Junior quarterback
Martin Walsh scored on a
1-yard sneak to cap off the
drive.
Mid Valley was in position
to score at the end of the half,
but another fumble gave Lake-
land the ball in Spartan terri-
tory with less than three min-
utes remaining. Three plays
later, Kiehart hit Roche on
one of the few deep passes of
the game, a 30-yard bomb that
gave the lead back to the
Chiefs. Roche would end the
night with 235 yard from the
line of scrimmage and two
touchdowns, a performance
that Wasilchak said he was
greatly pleased with.
Chris does a nice job,
Wasilchak said. He runs
smart, he always gets positive
yardage and he doesnt go
down easily.
Mid Valleys first posses-
sion was a 10-play marathon,
nine of which were runs by
Collins. Collins finished the
drive with a 2-yard touch-
down, which brought the
Spartans within one point
after extra point attempt was
no good. Collins led the Spar-
tans with 179 all-purpose
yards along with a touch-

On Sept. 29 and 30, the
North American Grappling
Association (NAGA) and
hundreds of grapplers invaded
Broomalls, Marple Sports
Arena. The team from Clark
Summits Pridelands Brazilian
Jiu-Jitsu & Mixed Martial
Arts was there in force. NA-
GA is the worlds largest
mixed grappling tournament
circuit with approximately
160,000 competitors world-
wide. It was the Philadelphia
areas annual NAGA Penn-
sylvania Grappling Cham-
pionship No-Gi & Gi tourna-
ment. (No-Gi and Gi refer to
whether or not a wrestling
shirt is worn). The tournament
was expanded to two days
because of the large number
of competitors. Adult compet-
itors and teens (14-17 years
old) were coached by Jason
and Matthew Ratchford. Chil-
dren (13 & under) were
coached by Matthew Ratch-
ford and Jon Stevens.

C M Y K
Grant converted the extra
point and Valley View led
14-7 with 10:17 left in the
second quarter.
On the next possession,
Pasqualichio connected with
J.C. Show for their first touch-
down hookup of the game on
a 27-yard strike after a great
play action fake. Patricks
extra point made the score,
14-14, with 6:37 remaining in
the first half.
I was really pleased with
how the players dealt with
adversity, Repshis said.
They were resilient. Players
in all three phases of the game
stepped up and made plays to
give us an opportunity to
come out with a win.
During the Comets second
possession of the second half,
Pasqualichio and Show
teamed up for a 5-yard touch-
down on a third-and-goal play.
We thought we could get
one-on-one coverage at the
goal line and Dante put it right
where it had to be, Show
said. Weve been working on
that back shoulder pattern and
we finally got it to pay off.
Karam, who finished the
game with 94 yards on 19
carries, scored his second
touchdown on a 7-yard run
early in the fourth quarter.
Patricks extra point gave the
Comets a 31-14 lead.
After Drew Kuzma reco-
vered a fumble by Castellani
during the Cougars next pos-
session, Patrick hit a 23-yard
field goal to end the scoring.
Abington Heights (5-1, 2-1
LFC Division I) will host

ABINGTON JOURNAL/STEPHANIE WALKOWSKI
Abington Heights quarterback Dante Pasqualichio threw two touchdown
passes in the Comets 34-14 win over Valley View.
said. I got to do a lot of things
and I met a lot of people all
across the country and people
from different countries so that
was really cool.
Okrepkie, who is originally
from Clarks Summit but lives
with her parents Kim Pavlick
and Ken Okrepkie in Scott
Township, started taking golf
seriously in seventh grade.
My dad had always tried to
start me when I was really little
but I wanted nothing to do with
it, Okrepkie said. I wanted to
be a Barbie.
Okrepkie said she always
wanted to play a sport that she
could win against the boys.
Ive always been tiny, so
football was never my thing,
Okrepkie said. My dad told
me that golf was the next best
thing and the prospect of beat-
ing a boy was very appealing.
Cerra finds competing
against boys amusing.
Ive heard comments like,
Dont get beaten by the girl
and The girl drove it farther
than you, Cerra said. Its
very entertaining.
Despite playing with the boys
team all season, Cerra and
Okrepkie could not play with
both the girls and the boys
during the district playoffs.
Without Cerra and Okrepkie,
the boys team lost to Montrose
in the semifinals.
Its very frustrating for both
of us, because we love playing
on both teams, Cerra said. No
matter what side we chose we
knew the other side was going
to have a problem.
Although Cerra and Okrep-
kie want to play for both teams,
they are excited to lead the girls
team into the postseason.
It was disappointing but its
behind us, Okrepkie said.
The girls team means so much
to all of us so were happy that
we get to stay on the girls
team.
The Lady Crusaders will
look to earn a spot in the re-
gional tournament, which they
thought they advanced to last
season.
I really want to take the
team to regionals, Cerra said.
Thats been a priority all year
after last years unfortunate
problem.
Last season at the district
championships, the golfers
played a nine-hole round, but
teams need a 400 score require-
ment for 18 holes to qualify for
regionals.
It was more devastating
because we were told we were
going to go, Cerra said. We
got the medals, set the rooms
up and a couple of us had gone
down for a practice round and
then two days before they told
us we couldnt go.
Cerra shot an 81 to win the
District 2 Class AA Individual
Golf Championship Oct. 8 at
Fox Hill Country Club. With
the win, Cerra advances to
regionals. Okrepkie also ad-
vanced to regionals by shooting
a 98, two strokes under the
cutoff score of 100.
The Holy Cross girls team
played in the district team
championships Tuesday.
I want all of us to play the
best that we can and let the
cards fall where they may,
Okrepkie said.
GOLFERS
Lackawanna Trail defeated
Carbondale, 27-7, in a Lacka-
wanna Football Conference
Division III contest Oct. 5 at
Lions Pride Stadium.
Lions running back Jeremy
Greenley rushed for 103 yards
and a touchdown, and also
returned an interception 61
yards for a score.
Fullback Jason Guthrie and
quarterback Zack Goodrich
each added a rushing touch-
down in the win.
Lackawanna Trail (5-1, 1-0
LFC Division III) will host
Old Forge (6-0, 1-0) on Friday
at 7 p.m. in a key division
game.
Last season, Old Forge de-
feated Lackawanna Trail in the

After Collins touchdown,
however, the Spartans would
be held scoreless. Mid Valley
head coach Frank Pazzaglia
said Lakelands size and
strength began to take its toll
on the Spartans as the second
half wore on.
They just out-physicaled us
up and down the line, Paz-
zaglia said. Their size was
just too much for usThat
will come to haunt us all over.
We just dont have the size to
match up with big people.
Eight plays after Mid Valley
score, Roche ran for a short
touchdown of his own to push
the lead to eight.
The Chiefs benefited from
several key turnovers down
the stretch, one of the biggest
being a fumble in Mid Val-
leys end zone. The Spartans
recovered the fumble but were
unable to advance out of the
end zone. The resulting safety
pushed Lakelands lead to
double digits at 23-13.
The Spartans forced a fum-
ble by Lakeland on the fol-
lowing drive and recovered at
their own 20-yard line. Anoth-
er turnover, this time off an
interception from Kiehart on
the first play of the drive,
once again took the ball out of
the Spartans hands.
The Chiefs burned as much
time as possible in their final
drive of the game, earning
three first downs on the pos-
session. Mid Valley was not
left with enough time to over-
come the 10-point deficit and
would eventually turn the ball
over on downs with just more
than a minute to go.
The win puts Lakeland at
4-2. Mid Valley falls to 3-3.
Despite earning the win, Wa-
silchak said his team would
also need to put the win past
them and get ready for next
weeks game as well.
There are no breaks in our
division, Wasilchak said.
You ask any coach in the
division and theyll tell you
that. Theres no easy wins.
Lakelands next game is at
home at 7 p.m. Friday against
Dunmore.
CHIEFS
Tyra Abdalla and Allie
Pusateri were part of an all-
Abington Heights champion-
ship match last year as dou-
bles tennis partners.
Monday at Birchwood Rac-
quet Club, they created anoth-
er by each winning their
semifinal singles matches.
An Abington Heights
championship was already
secured when they took the
court for the District 2-4
Class AAA girls tennis sin-
gles final which Abdalla
claimed with a 6-1, 6-0 victo-
ry.
Abdalla, the top seed who
had lost just three games in
four sets Friday at Kirby Park
to reach Monday, defeated
North Poconos Cara Perotti,
6-1, 6-0, in the semifinals.
Pusateri eliminated Crest-
woods Kristi Bowman, 6-2,
6-0. The sixth seed, Pusateri
also won twice Friday, in-
cluding rallying in the quar-
terfinals to defeat third-seed-
ed Maggie Manchester of
Williamsport, 0-6, 7-6 (7-4),
6-2.
Pusateri will take another
shot at winning a doubles title
beginning today.

ABINGTON JOURNAL/NATALIE MENNICUCCI
Scattered rain did not stop Tunkhannock residents from airing out their quilts for the annual display.
Local church, Nativity B.V.M., displayed numerous quilts on their front porch for this years event.
Something Blue Bridal Boutique on Main Street in Tunkhannock
added to the creative atmosphere of the Airing of the Quilts
event by displaying quilts to represent dresses Oct. 6.
Visitors to the Endless Moun-
tains region exit the Trolley
provided to shuttle individuals
around Tunkhannock to visit
numerous quilt-related
events. The Dietrich Theater
was one of the shuttle stops
and had quilts on display and
a fiber- artist guest speaker. .
MAYFIELD- Mayfield
resident Heather Clendenning
shares the gift of music to
people interested in learning
inside Mayfield Music Studio.
There she teaches students
and young adults to sing and
play instruments.
I love teaching music to
kids, said Clendenning. I
love to see their energy and
their enthusiasm, and nurture
their positive spirits and confi-
dence. When I finally figure
out howto explain something
to somebody and they get it,
its just so cool.
Clendenning teaches those
as young as five years as long,
but she prefers young children
to be accompanied by their
parents, so they are able to
help at home.
Practice is critical even
when they are five and six
years old, said Clendenning.
If a parent is involved, the
learning process is expedited.
The more that they can play
and the better that they can
play, the more stimulated they
are to learn and the more they
want to come back for more
lessons.
Although most of her stu-
dents are in elementary and
high school, Clendenning
teaches all ages. In the past,
she tutored college-level stu-
dents in piano proficiency.
She prepares students for
two recitals per year: a spring
and a holiday recital in De-
cember, both performed at the
Waverly Community House.
Each student performs two
pieces frommemory. The
next recital will be Dec. 21.
Clendennings first career
was in fashion merchandising,
in which she received a degree
fromMarywood University.
After marriage, she decided to
stay at home with her chil-
dren. She taught themmusic,
including the piano. She also
volunteered voice lessons to
children at church, where she
started a choir. It occurred to
her then howmuch she loved
music and teaching.
I decided that giving free
music lessons was so reward-
ing to me, I just kept doing it,
she commented.
Aformer resident of Glen-
burn, Clendenning was raised
in a musical family. As a stu-
dent she attended Abington
Heights High School, along
with her brother Bill Clenden-
ning and her sister Sharon
Clendenning-Bove. Her
brother, Class of 1981, was a
drummajor in the marching
band who played trombone
and sang in the chorus. Her
sister, Class of 1988, played
oboe in the schools orchestra
and was chosen one of the few
best oboist in the All-Eastern
United States High School
Orchestra. She also played
bells in the marching band
and sang in the chorus.
After receiving her under-
graduate degree there, Heath-
er Clendenning returned to
Marywood University to
study music while still contin-
uing to teach. She graduated
in 2011with a Bachelors
degree in music and a Certifi-
cation in music education.
After years of teaching music
by appointment only, she
decided to pursue it full-time.
Clendenning teaches voice
and piano five days and week-
ends by appointment. She
hired additional teachers,
including Bill Roditski, who
retired frompublic education
but teaches music technology
violin, guitar and accordion at
the Mayfield Music Studio.
The students are very
interested and dedicated to
learning and practicing, said
Roditski. They have wonder-
ful support fromtheir parents.
Heather always approaches
artistically fromthe compos-
ers standpoint, and the stu-
dents showthat.
Roditski mentioned that
Mayfield Music Studio stu-
dentsattend many school
districts including Lackawan-
na Trail, Lakeland and Pitt-
ston Area.
Clendenning said that she
will not put a limit on how
many students attend the
studio because she will add
teachers to the staff when
needed.
At this point, I can just
keep adding teachers .
Students and parents enjoy
Clendenning as a music
teacher.
I think she works very well
and gets them(students) moti-
vated, said Greenfield Town-
ship resident Suzy Tierney,
whose five children, students
of La Salle Academy in Jes-
sup, attend the Mayfield Mu-
sic Studio. She provides a
warm, friendly, and loving
environment while giving
lessons so they want to learn.
Shes very accommodating.
Lackawanna Trail student
Alyssa Walker, who studies
voice, said, Imlearning a
lot. I love music, so Imhav-
ing a blast learning with
Heather because shes a good
teacher.
Anyone interested can ap-
ply at Mayfield Music Studio,
435 Whitmore Ave. Mayfield
or call 570.947.2040 Mon.-
Fri. from2 to 8 p.m. and Sat.-
Sun. by appointment.
