INSIDE
Before taking its
holiday break, Our Lady
of Peace School in
Clarks Green held
Journey to Bethle-
hem on Friday, Dec.
23.
See page A5.
Christmas celebration
comes early
ment. As much as Face-
book posters were calling
him names, he said, at the
same time, it was them
telling me how much this
place means to them and
how much they care about
it that theyre getting that
angry and worked up about
the thought of maybe los-
ing what they have here.
That showing on Face-
book showed us that theres
a lot of people who are
passionate about this place
staying open and catering
to the stuff that they like,
he said. Were going to
try to pay attention to that
and really capitalize on
thatand just try to be
what our audience wants us
to be.
One member of that au-
dience is Nick Reuther, of
Moscow, bass player for
the local band Kill the
Coward, which plays a fre-
quently at the club.
Having a place like this
venue in the area is fantas-
tic, Reuther said via e-
mail. The genre that our
band and others like us
play is not appreciated by
the norm of society and
this venue gives us our
opportunity to be our-
selves. They have helped
us gain a local support in
the area by giving us nu-
merous show opportunities
to succeed.
Kill the Coward labels
itself as screamo, hard-
core and metalcore, and
Reuther said the music is
energetic and the lyrics
come from real situations
in the band members
lives. He said the band
started out playing cover
songs, has now recorded
seven of its own and plays
at Eleanor Rigbys about
Purchased by new owners
and placed under new man-
agement in September,
Eleanor Rigbys Bar and
Night Club in Jermyn still
belongs as much to its cus-
tomers - a diverse crowd
largely composed of local
music fans - as it does its
new owners.
A lot of people from the
community really look at
this place as their spot,
said Zach Neil, owner. It
might not be the greatest
thing, or in the past it
might have had its bugs,
but now this is their
home.
One way the crowd
marked the place its own
was by writing on its walls,
first in the mens restroom
and then on the social
media website Facebook.
According to Neil, al-
though the mens room had
to be remodeled for sani-
tary reasons, the Facebook
page continues as an ongo-
ing testimony of the mas-
sive local support for the
business. It reached over
8,000 likes from those
who follow its activity and
new wall posts appear
from those people daily.
Neil said about a month
ago, he posted an announ-
cement on Facebook about
changes that would be
made at the club, including
the possibility of cutting
down on the amount of
heavy metal shows. Angry
comments immediately
followed, flooding the page
with protest.
He said that while get-
ting beat up on Facebook
left him miserable at first,
it was also an encourage-
every other month.
One way the club is try-
ing to be different than
others is by giving the lo-
cal bands opportunities to
open for larger bands that
bring more people in. The
local bands are really the
ones that represent the lo-
cal music community, he
said. And theyre the ones
that do the most hustle to

At this time of year
when winter has official-
ly arrived, the bottom
line is, Its the winter
solstice. When is it go-
ing to start getting
warmer...? This is one
of the most popular
questions asked of Kurt
Aaron, WNEP-TV mete-
orologist, regarding the
winter solstice.
People just want to
know if its going to
start getting warmer,
said Aaron.
The sun heats up ob-
jects, it heats the land
and objects like build-
ings, pavement and oth-
ers. The sun heats these
things and they radiate
heat and that causes air
molecules to vibrate.
The vibration of air mol-
ecules is what gives us
heat. Thats what we feel
as temperature. When
you have less sunlight
and more darkness, its
less time for the sun to
heat up the lower atmo-
sphere so thus, the tem-
perature gets colder be-
cause theres less heat,
less sunlight. So the
winter solstice marks the
beginning of the north-
ern hemisphere tilting
forward 23.5 degrees
towards the sun and
more sunlight. More sun-
light means more heat so
its going to get warmer
and warmer. It takes
time.
Winter began in the
Northern Hemisphere
and summer began in the
Southern Hemisphere at
5:30 a.m. on December
22.
The word, solstice is
derived from the Latin

From children to seniors
and everyone in between,
Damian the Magician is con-
fident this years First Night
Scranton has something for
everyone.
For the second consecutive
year, Damian is co-chairing
the event alongside Paige
Balitski, which features a
variety of different performers
and activities going on at sev-
eral venues in downtown
Scranton on New Years Eve.
The performances and acts
vary but a majority of them
are tied into this years theme
of Rock In New Years Eve.
A Rock In New Years
Eve is a salute to the music of
the 50s, 60s and 70s, said
Damian.
Damian said one of the
things that appealed to the
First Night committee about
this years theme was the con-
trast compared to last years
Victorian theme.
Last year was a very ele-
gant kind of historic look back
at what the area was like and
the times were like in that era
when cars were just being
released and the telephone
was new and that sort of
thing, said Damian. This
year we wanted something a
little bit lighter, something,
obviously, that had appeal, so
I thought that music was a
natural way to go.
And, because a lot of us
still like having a look back,
we picked some decades, the
50s, 60s, and 70s, because the
music of all of those decades
was very, very good. People
are still listening to it; people
are still loving and dancing to
it.
In the spirit of the theme,
Northern Lights, 536 Spruce
St., will be transformed into a
60s coffee house, The Magics
will perform 50s Doo Wop at
the University of Scrantons
Leahy Hall at 800 Linden St.,
the Vintage Theater at 119
Penn Ave. will host a 70s-style
disco and First Nights head-
liner The Winstons will bring
the sounds of Motown to Elm
Park Church at 712 Linden St.
Theyre one of those vin-
tage Motown types of bands
that are very high energy,
said Damian of The Winstons.
Its going to be kind of
like the old Temptations. You
know, that great sound that
everyone loves.
Those acts are in addition to
several contemporary acts,
some new, and some returning
from last year.
We felt that, rounded out
with rock bands and duos and
an orchestra (the Gene Demp-
sey Orchestra will perform at
the Mall at Steamtown) would
have musical appeal for every
single age level, and you
round it out with your variety
acts, your specialty attrac-
tions, your childrens activities
and, of course, the infamous
carriage rides, said Damian.
What we found was that
was one of many extremely
popular attractions. So much
so that we have doubled it up
this year. The beautiful white
carriage will be back, but they
also have a horse-drawn wag-
on. So were having two vehi-
cles because personally we all
feel that we dont want anyone
who wants to do something to
say, oh, we didnt get a
chance to do it. Were trying
to make it accessible to every-
one.
The carriage rides wont be

With the temperature
beginning to drop, two La-
keland High School Se-
niors joined forces for their
senior projects to give back
to members of the commu-
nity and help them combat
the cold.
Seniors Megan Babcanec,
17, of Jermyn, and Nick
Orazzi, 18, of Greenfield
Township, hosted a coat
drive in the school district
during the month of De-
cember.
They placed containers at
the high school, Lakeland
Elementary School and
Mayfield Elementary
School and hung up flyers
around the schools to bring
attention to the drive.
At the end of the drive
on December 16, the num-
ber of coats collected was
over 200.
Although it was a coat
drive, there was more win-
ter apparel items collected
than just coats, according
to Babcanec. It was main-
ly coats, but people donat-
ed some snow bibs and
hats, gloves and scarves,
too.
Babcanec describes the
premise of a senior project
as helping out someone in
the community. Along
with the collection of the
coats, the students will also
present their project to
teachers around April and
write a paper on it as part
of the senior project guide-
lines. The project can be
completed during either a
students junior year or
senior year.
I think because its start-
ing to get cold out and I
wanted people who arent
as fortunate as us to be
able to be warm and have a
coat to wear, Babcanec
said about why she chose
to do a coat drive as her
senior project.
Orazzi echoed Babca-
necs sentiments on why he
wanted to conduct a coat
drive. I just thought of all
the people out there that
didnt have coats, and how
fortunate we are
The collected items were
distributed to the United
Neighborhood Center of
Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Pam Berg, Emergency
Services Supervisor for
United Neighborhood Cen-
ters of Northeastern Penn-
sylvania, said the items
will be sorted and placed
into the Angels Attic at
410 Olive St. in Scranton,
which provides clothing
items for those who need
them and also serves as a
food pantry.
Berg said varying sizes
of donated coats were col-
lected from the containers,
which is wonderful.
Orazzi said the amount
of coats collected was a
big accomplishment and
Babcanec said she was ex-
cited about the turnout.
It was a great experi-
ence just knowing all of
the people that we helped,
Orazzi said about the out-
come of his senior project.
Words of advice from
Babcanec and Orazzi for
those looking to participate
in a coat drive are, respec-
tively, to be organized and
prepared.
Donations for Angels
Attic can be taken to 410
Olive St., Scranton.

A number of recent
Abington Heights High
School graduates gathered
at their Alma mater on
Friday, Dec. 23 to talk to
the upcoming graduating
class about the college
experience as well as their
personal encounters.
The panel members in-
cluded alumni from the
classes of 2008 through
2011.
Participation in the
event was completely vol-
untary and was held in an
effort to educate the grad-
uating class on what to
expect when they go to
college, join the work-
force or enter the military
service.
The returning students,
placed in the comfortable
setting of the library
lounge, spoke about their
experiences and answered
questions posed by the
senior class.
The message the alumni
tried to relay was to stay
busy, remain focused on
your schoolwork and ath-
letics and be proactive in
all aspects of the educa-
tional experience.
The school board and
faculty organized the
event to show the students
why they do some of the
things they do in their
program, why they con-
duct the program in the
manner they do and how
they strive to prepare the
students for life after high
school no matter the path
they chose to follow.
The school also uses the
graduation panel as a way
to learn from the alumni
about what they wished
they had learned and how
they could improve the
program.

Of all the things Ive learned about food on my culinary
journey, the one thing that has taught me the most is, very
simply, eating. I tell my hospitality and culinary majors at
Lackawanna College that eating and tasting are the most
effective and easiest ways to build their professional palates.
As humans, we tend to get stuck in ruts of the same 10 or
so dinners offered in a cyclical rotation or the same caffei-
nated drink every morning to get our engines going without
ever stepping outside our gastronomic boxes. We like what
we know and we lose the incredible gift of exploration when
we dont get out there and try new things. One very cool
thing about our bodies is that our taste buds wear out about
every seven years and new ones erupt, setting up perfect
opportunities to discover new tastes and re-introduce old
ones we thought we disliked. Take me, for instance. I hated
the taste of bleu cheese for all of my childhood and most of
my adult life, but then one day while working at a restau-
rant, I took my own advice and tried a salad that had a won-
derful combination of flavors and textures and paired bleu
cheese with a sweet and tangy port wine dressing. It was
like magic. The rich tangy cheese danced expertly with the
sweet port flavors and my mind started imagining other bleu
food combinations. During holiday season, give these very
cool foods a try. Broaden your tastes and offer your guests a
passport to the incredible and vast world of culinary explora-
tion.
Pimentos
These sweet, flavor-packed red peppers are available in
every grocery store in the north for less than $2 a jar, but
our friends in the south truly have a love affair with pimen-
tos. My southern sister-in -law Ericka brought out a bowl of
pimento cheese and a plate of crackers on our last visit to
South Carolina and even the kids went nuts for it. Pimentos
give that punch of flavor to dishes like chicken a la king and
turkey tetrazzini. Serve pimento cheese for the holidays and
watch it disappear.
Hoisin sauce
This pungent Asian barbeque sauce is another inexpensive
staple you can stock in your pantry. Its close enough to one
of Americas favorite condiments that it is very approachable
yet its flavors are exotic enough to substitute Hoisin for your
run of the mill sauce and jazz up dinner time. My friend
Margie shared a simple recipe she has for Hoisin that is
healthy, delicious and gets gobbled up by adults and kids
alike. Its a great simple dinner or a fun addition to a buffet.
Meyer lemons
Lemons are one of my favorite things in the wy so when I
tasted this exotic, floral citrus for the first time in a sushi
dish at Morimoto in Philadelphia, I was hooked. The good
news about Meyers is that they are coming into season now
- December through April. The bad news is they can be
difficult to find. Substitute Meyer Lemons for regular lem-
ons in your favorite pie, dessert or savory dish and let your
taste buds travel to China - the country that first gave us this
funky hybrid fruit.

get people to come out to
the shows and to really
spread the word.
Michael Tyahur, of
Wilkes-Barre, drummer
for Bring the Heat, which
plays heavy music, said
via e-mail that his band
plays at the club once or
twice a month and appre-
ciates the opportunities to
open for bigger name
bands.
Tyahur said he also ap-
preciates the fact that its
not just a 21 plus venue.
Its just good to have all
ages venues around the
area, he said.
He said hes also seen a
lot of changes and im-
provements take place at
the club since the new
owners took over, includ-
ing the addition of a pizza
place, relocating of the bar
to the other side of the
stage, remaking of the old
bar into a space for the
bands to sell their mer-
chandise, remodeling of
the restroom walls, and
some sound and stage ad-
justments.
Overall, its turning
into a more legit venue
than it was before, he
said.
Neil said while a lot of
improvements have been
made, there are still more
to come, and the club will
also announce a name
change sometime in the
next month.
Its going to be a whole
new business model, Neil
said. Were going to take
the things that were good
about Eleanor Rigbys,
which were the concerts,
the local bandsWere
going to keep all that and
were going to add some-
thing new to it.
The plan, however, isnt
an entirely new one, but is
closer to the original.
Neil said it all started in
2009 when an acquaint-
ance contacted him with a
proposal to start a night
club. He agreed after some
arm twisting and they
started moving forward.
Then, he said, several
months in, things werent
working out for the other
half of the investment, so
he backed out and sold his
portion to another friend.
The plan included a bar,
restaurant and night club,
but because of a lack in
initial investments, only a
bar and a stage were built.
Then, Neil said, about four
months ago, he got a call
from the owner at the
time, saying the place was
about to go under, and
asking if he still had any
interest in it.
We thought we could
do a better job, so Im
back, he said. Zack is
back!
The club is currently
owned by Neil, who com-
mutes from the Poconos,
Rob Bowman, of Carbon-
dale, and Ray Cox, of Jer-
myn. According to the
clubs Facebook page, it
will switch over to its new
name, which remains to be
announced, sometime after
the Texas in July and The
Air I Breathe show on
December 30.
After its grand opening,
the bars pizza place will
be open until 2 a.m., of-
fering delivery until that
time within a 10-mile radi-
us. And, he said, the new
menu will speak for itself.
Its not fine food, its
pizza, he said. But its
pizza the way that no one
around here has ever had.
Its old world Italian pizza
where its fresh mozzarella
cheese, the soft cheese, all
fresh ingredients.
He hopes people will
come try the food, and see
the new venue for them-
selves. And, he said, the
club will continue to wel-
come input and suggesti-
ons from the community.
The reality of the sit-
uation is, no matter what
we put in here - we could
put dancing girls and jug-
gling clowns - if its not
supported by our local
community, its not going
to work, he said. And so
we want to really be active
in the local community
andlet this be the every-
bodys venue.

FIRST NIGHT
Continued from Page 1
Magic, juggling and come-
dy blend together in the Vau-
deville-with-a-contemporary-
twist style of First Night Per-
former Mike Simon, of
Scranton.
Inspired by the classic acts
of people like Harry Houdini,
W. C. Fields, the Three Stoog-
es and the Marx Brothers,
Simon, 24, first developed his
interest in Vaudeville and the
theater when he was 10 years
old.
I love that style of come-
dy, he said, and its unfortu-
nate we dont see that kind of
thing today.
According to Simons web-
site, Vaudeville was a theat-
rical genre of variety enter-
tainment in the United States
and Canada from the early
1880s until the early 1930s.
He remembers seeing his first
magician in first grade, doing
research and falling in love
with the Vaudeville era.
It was while attending Penn
State University that Simon
got serious about his interest
when he joined juggling and
magic clubs at the school.
While in college, he and some
friends formed a group and
started giving performances.
He has been performing pro-
fessionally for about seven
years.
Simon likes to incorporate
audience participation into his
shows, and one of his favorite
things about performing is
watching people enjoy the act.
I love to see the kind of
wide variety of reactions you
get from the audience, he
said, from laughter to blank
stares.
Not only will the audience
participate in his three 30-
minute shows at First Night,
but Simons fianc, Kaitlyn,
will assist him during the
acts. The pair has a different
set list for each show and
plans to incorporate their
usual style of classic Vaude-
ville-meets-modern-day-
comedy.
Simon hopes a lot of people
will come out this year for
First Night. There is a wide
variety of entertainment, and
something for everybody, he
said.
According to his website,
Simon guarantees a fun per-
formance while hoping to
capture the spirit of Vaude-
ville and instill an apprecia-
tion for two unfortunately
fading arts: juggling and
magic.
Simon will perform at the
Ritz Theater Lobby, 222
Wyoming Ave., at 7:30, 9 and
10:30 p.m.

Mollie Edsell, 12, of North
Scranton, has only been play-
ing the guitar for three years,
but is already writing her own
songs and will perform for
the second year in a row this
year at First Night Scranton.
It all happened quickly,
Edsell said, when asked how
the gig came about. It was
one day last year, when she
had just left her music lesson
at Gallucci Palooza Music.
She was tagging along at the
call-to-artists party with her
mother, Jennifer, a volunteer
coordinator and former co-
chair of First Night Scranton.
She was playing on her Dean
zebrawood acoustic guitar
and, from there, found herself
signed up to perform two
30-minute sets at Northern
Lights Espresso Bar for the
New Years Celebration.
Edselenjoyed playing to a
packed house at Northern
Lights. She also said she
enjoyed listening to the other
performers, including Rob
Harvey, with whom she per-
formed a duet.
Shes excited about this
years theme of Rock in New
Years Eve and will incorpo-
rate it into her three 30-min-
ute sets. She will play some
of her own songs, as well as
pieces from her favorite artist,
Taylor Swift, and others.
It was Taylor Swifts song
Fifteen that inspired Edsell
to learn guitar in the first
place. Her father, Robert
Edsell, has also played the
guitar since he was a teenager,
and her brothers, Brody, 15,
and Teagan, 16, are both mu-
sicians. Her mother also plays
the piano and ukulele.
Shes singing and making
music all day long, Jennifer
Edsell said. Shes just a mu-
sical kid.
Edsell said its difficult to
put a label to her music, but it
has a folk-like sound. She
writes happy songs about
whats happening around her,
and puts a lot of thought into
her music.
She has also played at her
school, Northeast Intermedi-
ate, on First Friday at the
Woman Empowered event
and other events. She s enjoys
First Night and looks forward
to it each year. Its very busy,
theres a lot going on, theres a
lot of people, and its festive,
she said.
Her First Night perform-
ances this year will be at the
AFA Gallery, 514 Lackawan-
na Ave. at 7:30, 8:45 and 10
p.m.

Mollie Edsell, 12, of North Scran-
ton, will perform for the second
consecutive year at First Night
Scranton.
This year at First Night
Scranton, people can twist
their way into the New
Year. The Whirligig Hoop-
ers, whose motto is To
hoop is to smile with your
whole body, are led by
Jenny Hill and Susan An-
derson.
In its First Night per-
formance, the group will
conduct three 20-minute
choreographed segments
and incorporate the audi-
ence into the acts through-
out the night.
The group has previous-
ly done street perform-
ances during First Fridays
in Scranton and hooping
in the park events at Kir-
by Park in Wilkes-Barre
and is excited for the op-
portunity to be featured on
a big stage.
People always leave
with a smile on their face,
Anderson said of the
groups events. Some-
times the funniest people
are the adults. They are
usually reluctant, but once
we talk them into trying it,
they have a good time.
The idea for the group
came when Hills sister,
Kristen McQuillin, a per-
former in Japan, brought a
hoop making kit to her
wedding a few years ago.
At first I wasnt able to
do it, but I ordered my first
hoop that night, Anderson
said. Jenny and I started
going to events with our
hoops and would be ap-
proached by people asking
if we taught classes. After
being asked so many
times, we decided to give it
a shot. It was unexpected,
but it has been a lot of fun
and a wild experience.
According to Anderson,
there are many benefits to
hooping.
There are some big
fitness aspects, but it also
gives you a big spiritual
lift, she said. Its also a
great way to exercise and
have fun.
For Anderson, hooping
has been more than just a
fun hobby.
It was life changing,
she said. It opened up a
whole different world.
The Whirligig Hoopers
First Night performances
will take place at The Mall
at Steamtown, 300 Lacka-
wanna Ave. at 7:30, 8:30
and 9:30 p.m.
Hooping into the New Year

Jenny Hill, left, and Susan Anderson of Whirligig Hoopers will perform
hoop tricks at First Night Scranton.
First Night Scranton chose
a theme of classic music to
ring in the new year, but for
The Winstons frontman
Jumpin Joe Phillips, cele-
brating classic soul and Mo-
town is a year-round event.
Along with its own origi-
nal music, the band will run
through its crowd-pleasing
Memories of Motown
review, which includes clas-
sic cuts from The Tempta-
tions, The Four Tops, Diana
Ross and The Supremes,
Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye
and other legends of the
time songs Phillips guar-
antees everybody will
know.
That was an era of clas-
sic, classic music. Some-
times I think, What would
be the classic music from
this new music out here
today? Theyre doing
theyre own thing and I
dont take nothing from
them. Times change. Theres
nothing you can do about it
except change with it or just
stick with what youre doing
and make the best of it, he
said.
I want to be a part of
what I think is the greatest
era of music of all time,
Phillips added. Thats the
only era I really want to do.
I mean, when you get the
feeling of hearing these
classic songs that we do,
theres nothing like that.
The Winstons will play at
the Elm Park Church at 712
Linden St.

Aaron said, In the
months ahead, we look
forward to longer days,
warmer temperatures.
The winter or December
solstice is celebrated
throughout the world as a
time of change with holi-
days, festivals, and rituals
that date back to ancient
history.
In ancient Rome, they
would celebrate the Win-
ter Solstice for seven
days. Back then, the an-
cient Romans would free
their slaves and make one
a mock king. That one
slave was given the free-
dom for seven days to do
whatever he wanted. He
lived high on the hog.
He would eat whatever he
wanted, take whatever
women he wanted, but
typically at the end of the
week, he was killed.
Thats how the Romans
did it; the Norwegians
tied it into the Christmas
tree. Europeans had tradi-
tionsso theres a lot of
tradition around the holi-
day, said Aaron.
He added, The Fest of
the Yule Log was a pre-
Christian festival observed
in Scandinavia at the time
of the December Solstice.
Fires were lit to sym-
bolize the heat, light and
live giving properties of
the returning sun

One of my of my favorite
things to do during this chilly
month is to cuddle up with a
good book. And one of the
books I will be reading is
One Flew Over the Cuckoos
Nest by Ken Kesey. The
book is the 2012 selection for
Wyoming County Reads -
One County, One Book, One
Play, an annual project we
present in conjunction with
the Tunkhannock Public Li-
brary.
Join us for book discussions
at the Tunkhannock Public
Library on Wednesday nights
in February led by Bill Chapla
and Dr. Marnie Hiester . All
are welcome to attend and
admission is free.
Then in March, One Flew
Over the Cuckoos Nest, the
play by Dale Wasserman, will
come to life on the Dietrich
stage for a five-day run.
We are currently looking for
actors and people interested in
working behind the scenes.
Auditions will be held by
appointment on Saturday and
Sunday, Jan. 28 and 29 from
noon to 5 p.m.
Actors needed are four
women, ages 18 to 50, and 12
men, ages 18 to 70. At the
audition, actors will be asked
to read from the script. Sides
are currently available on our
website, www.dietrichtheater-
.com. Please call us at
996.1500 for an audition ap-
pointment.
During Wyoming County
Reads, we also would like to
invite you to take part in a
Book Jacket Redesign Con-
test.
Here is how it will work.
Redesign the graphic for the
book One Flew Over the
Cuckoos Nest on an 8 i by
11-inch paper using the medi-
um of your choice (paint,
pencil, pastel, photo, etc.) to
create an original front cover.
The covers will be judged
for literary and artistic expres-
sion. Entries must be sub-
mitted to the Tunkhannock
Public Library by Friday, Jan.
27. And yes, there will be
prizes.
In addition to being chilly,
January is also a time to try
new things with the start of
the new year.
At the Dietrich, we have a
host of offerings to explore,
including pottery, jewelry
making, open studio, quilting,
knitting and yoga. We are
starting a Kundalini yoga class
in January. This class offering
will be held in addition to our
Wednesday Yoga for You class
series led by instructor Melis-
sa Russo.
Barbara Tierney will show
students the gifts that Kunda-
lini yoga, as taught by Yogi
Bhajan, has to offer as they
explore breath, movement and
mantra.
Classes will be held on
Saturdays, Jan. 14 through
February 18 from10 to 11:30
a.m., Call 996.1500 for more
information or to register.

Popular local band Groove
Train is one of the returning acts
performing at 2012: First Night
Scranton.
Groove Train will help get the
night started, taking the stage at
the Showmobile, 200 block of N.
Washington Ave., at 7 p.m.
The group has graced the stage
of the yearly event held on New
Years Eve in downtown Scranton
several times before, and is ex-
cited to have been asked back.
Were honored to have been
asked, said Dave Chaump.
Its something thats very
unique, to have a chance to be a
part of a family-oriented event
on New Years thats not centered
around alcohol. Its enjoyable.
It also gives Chaump and the
groups lead singer Rebecca San-
toro Hetzel, the Abington
Heights Middle School chorus
and band teachers, respectively, a
chance to play a venue where
their students can come and
watch.
Every year we do this, stu-
dents from the middle school
and high school come down to
support us. Its great, said
Chaump.
During the past seven years,
the group has become best
known as a cover band, playing
private parties, weddings and
clubs. It has earned a reputation
for its ability to perform almost
any style of music, an its set list
covers music from the 1950s to
todays top 40 hits.
With this years theme of
Rock In New Years Eve, the
groups song repertoire is going
to come in handy as it plans to
crank out some of the classic
songs known by all, as well as
some not all that familiar.
Groove Train released its first,
self-titled album this summer,
and plans to include some of the
songs from the album in its set.
Chaump is s excited for every-
one to hear the new songs.
Were pumped. Were hoping
everyone comes early to hear
Groove Train and stays to hear
the other acts, said Chaump.
We want to thank the First
Night committee and acknowl-
edge all the work they do. They
volunteer and put in a lot of
their time and our hats off to
them for putting forth the effort
and giving the community some-
thing to be proud of.
Groove Trains album is avail-
able on its website.
To purchase the album, for

Middle and high school
students will have the oppor-
tunity to take the stage this
winter at the Dietrich Thea-
ter in Tunkhannock.
From Jan. 4 to Feb. 25,
interested children can at-
tend classes that will im-
merse them into the world of
theatre arts.
Jennifer Jenkins, director
of theatre arts at the Die-
trich, explained that this is a
brand new program with
hopes of getting older chil-
dren more interested in the-
atre.
Theatre is a great venue
for kids to express them-
selves in, she said. When
they enter middle school and
high school, there isnt
much time to explore that
kind of freedom. Ive also
found that it helps to bolster
self-esteem.
During the program, par-
ticipants will experience
the whole nine yards of
putting on a performance
themed around life onMars.
Jenkins said the students
will create characters, write
scenes together and learn
about what happens back-
stage.
Similar programs have
been offered in the past for
younger children, but this
will be the first aimed at
older students.
Its the perfect place to
experience theatre for the
first time, said Jenkins.
Everyone is welcome and
everyone gets a part.
Jenkins, who has served as
director of theatre arts for
three years, worked profes-
sionally in New York City
theatre for 20 years. She
recalled being involved in a
drama club in middle school
where she and other mem-
bers created their own show.
It was a lot of fun. I
wanted to give back that
experience and open up that
world to kids.
Admission to the program
is free and all experience
levels are welcome.
Classes will be held
Wednesday and Thursday
afternoons from 3:30 to 5:30
p.m. at the Dietrich starting
Jan. 4. The program will
conclude with a live per-
formance on Saturday, Feb.
25 at 11 a.m. Space is limit-
ed to 30 students and regis-
tration isrequired. Reserva-
tions can be made by calling

Clarks Summit, Pa. DECEMBER 28 TO JANUARY 3, 2011 50
TUNNEL HILL The loss
was the most significant and,
yet, the most promising suf-
fered by Lackawanna Trail
this season.
When the Lions opened
defense of their Lackawanna
League Division 3 boys bas-
ketball title by falling to 0-6
overall, the 53-51 loss at the
hands of Montrose on
Wednesday, Dec. 21 was the
first that really mattered to-
ward the league title and dis-
trict qualifying.
Instead of getting too frus-
trated by losing the rematch of
last seasons all-season divi-
sion championship game,
Lackawanna Trail coach An-
drew Kettel found some posi-
tives in what he said was ab-
solutely his teams best effort
of the season.
In the second half, we
played outstanding, Kettel
said.
The Lions did so under
some difficult circumstances.
Starter Matt Flynn suffered
a leg injury in the first minute
and did not return. Second
leading scorer Lyle Sweppen-
heiser fouled out 36 seconds
into the fourth quarter after
reserve Tyler Rzucidlo had
also left with an injury.
We had two freshmen on
the floor against a very good
basketball team, Kettel said.
Despite having to go deep
into its bench, Lackawanna
Trail came from12 down late
in the third quarter to tie the
game three times in the fourth
quarter.
The Meteors eventually
pulled out the win on Cam-
eron Deans basket in the lane
with 19 seconds left and a late
miss by the Lions.
Its not Christmas yet,
Kettel said after the loss.
Last year, we peaked early in
the first half (of league play)
and had trouble in the second
half.
There are a lot of games to
play. Thats what the exhibi-
tion season is for to get
better. We played real good
teams. I think thats what has

Former Abington Heights High School (AHHS)
standout Becky Burke briefly returned home dur-
ing the Christmas break before heading back to
Louisville University where she will lead the Car-
dinals into conference play.
Its so great to go back and see everybody,
Burke said. Knowing that I have the support from
back home is the best feeling ever.
Burke scored 2,162 in her career at AHHS and
earned a myriad of honors, including Pennsylvania
Class AAAAPlayer of the Year, Womens Basket-
ball Coaches Association High School All-Amer-
ican honorable mention and McDonalds All-
American nominee. She also earned first team
all-state honors and All-Region Player of the Year
her junior and senior seasons.
We played some tough teams while I was here,
Burke said. Obviously, its an entirely different
level, but I think that got my foot in the door for
what I would be seeing in college.
After choosing Louisville, Burke immediately
sawaction her freshman year and played in all 38
games. She averaged 20 minutes a game and led
Louisville in free throwpercentage, shooting 88.4
percent. During Burkes freshman year, the Cardi-
nals made a run the NCAAnational championship
game where they faced the undefeated University
of Connecticut.
I think people kind of knowthe excitement
fromwatching the NCAAtournament so its a

SCRANTON- Abington
Heights finished on a 12-0 run
to defeat Scranton Prep, 48-34,
in a first-round matchup of the
girls Lynett Memorial Tourna-
ment at the Lackawanna Col-
lege Student Union on Dec. 26.
The Lady Comets took a
13-6 lead at the end of the first
quarter after Lauren Hoyt hit a
shot as time expired. Hoyt
scored 10 of her game-high 14
points in the first half as
Abington Heights expanded its
lead to 24-14.
I struggled in the beginning
of the year offensively, but I
practiced really hard on my
shooting before this tourna-
ment, Hoyt said. I knew I
had to show everybody that I
was gonna come back.
Scranton Prep (5-2) battled
back in the third quarter to
take a 31-29 lead. The Classics
went on a 10-2 run during the
final four minutes led by Tricia
Byrne, who scored all nine of
her points in the third.
In the third quarter, we
started getting nervous. We
were throwing the ball away
and they were making a run,
Abington Heights head coach
Vince Bucciarelli said. Tricia
Byrne is a tough kid. The way
she goes, they go and she was
hurting us. We had some mis-
cues on our defensive assign-
ments, but we made some ad-
justments during the timeouts.
Im proud of the way the kids
played.
Lady Comets guard Tiffany
ODonnell, who battled foul
trouble throughout the first
half, provided a big lift when
Abington Heights (6-1) needed
it the most. The senior scored
seven of her nine points in the
fourth quarter, including a
three-pointer with 4:45 remain-
ing as the Lady Comets out-
scored the Classics, 19-3, in
the final quarter.
I wasnt playing the best in
the first three quarters and I
sat out the second quarter be-
cause of foul trouble, ODon-
nell said. I knew that I needed
to get my head in the game in
order for us to pull off the win.
Its awesome to get revenge
on them since they beat us last
year (in the Lynett champion-
ship game). Were all just pret-
ty happy.
ODonnell added a conven-
tional three-point play just over
a minute later to start the Lady
Comets final run. She added

whole other level to actually


play in it, Burke said. Youre
playing for your life at that point
so its a pretty exciting feeling.
Burke played 36 minutes in
the national championship and
scored five points but the Cardi-
nals lost to the University of
Connecticut, 76-54.
Burke started all 32 games
her sophomore season. She led
the teamin three-point field
goal percentage, shooting 35.8
percent frombehind the three-
point line. She also ranked sec-
ond on the teamin points per
game and free throwpercent-
age. Louisville earned an
NCAAtournament bid again
during Burkes junior year.
Louisville upset Xavier Uni-
versity in the second round, but
lost to Gonzaga in the Sweet
Sixteen.
Burke is nowthe senior lead-
er of the Cardinals, who rank
12th in the ESPN/USAToday
Coaches Poll and14th in the AP
Top 25. Louisville lost just two
games so far this season to
defending champion Texas A&
Mand No. 8 Kentucky.
Were a young team, Burke
said. I think were playing
pretty well right now, but ulti-
mately it matters howwere
playing in March.
Louisville starts the heart of
its schedule Jan. 3 when the
Cardinals play Big East Confer-
ence opponents, including No.
2 UConn and No. 3 Notre
Dame.
The Big East is what matters
and its when were going to
play our best competition, but I
really think were growing up,
Burke said. Some of these road
games in the pre-season have
gotten us a lot tougher.
Burkes favorite part about
playing for Louisville is the
support fans give to the Cardi-
nals.
We see all these places and
they dont get close to the
amount of fans that we get,
Burke said. Its really a bless-
ing to have the fan support and
the interest that the people of
Louisville have in us.
Burke will try to lead the
Cardinals to their fifth straight
win when they play Tennessee-
Martin University at noon to-
day, Dec. 28 at home.

TAYLOR- The Riverside
Vikings gained the lead early
in the first quarter and never
relinquished it, enroute to a
53-26 victory over the Lacka-
wanna Trail Lions on Monday,
Dec. 26 at the Taylor Lions
Club 25th Holiday Basketball
Tournament at Riverside High
School.
Lackawanna Trail struck
first when Natasha Pacholec
scored on a lay-up to give the
Lions a 2-0 lead. However, the
Lions struggled to move the
ball against the Vikings full
court pressure and fell behind
after a Riverside 8-0 run.
We didnt pass out of the
zone press initially, Lions
coach Errol Mannick said.
We tried to dribble through it
and it ended up giving them
four or six points off lay-ups.
Riverside stretched the lead
to 12-4 before Clarissa Eg-
gleston cut the lead in half
with four straight points. Riv-
erside then rattled off six
straight points on its way to an
18-9 lead at the end of the
first quarter. Madison Haduck
scored seven points in the
quarter for the Vikings.
The Vikings increased their
lead to double-digits in the
second quarter and took a
28-12 lead into halftime. The
Lions fought back in the sec-
ond half, outscoring River-
side, 8-6, in the third quarter
led by Egglestons four points.
Toward the end of the quar-
ter, the Lions cut into the lead
when Brianna Smarkusky
blocked a shot that started a
fast break. Melissa Grimm fed
Shannon Jones down low for
an easy lay-up to cut the Li-
ons deficit to 34-20.
Despite the run, Riverside
blew the game open and out-
scored the Lions, 19-6, in the
fourth quarter. Rebecca Meki-
lo scored nine of the Vikings
fourth-quarter points while
Kellie Nash added six.
We worked really hard and
we did a lot of good things but
we just missed lay-ups, Man-
nick said. You cant stay in
the game if you dont make
lay-ups and free throws and
those are the two things were
struggling with.
Eggleston led the Lions
with 10 points. Riversides big
three of Mekilo, Nash and
Haduck scored 47 of the
teams 53 points. Nash and
Mekilo each had 17 points
while Haduck chipped in 13.
With the victory, the Vik-
ings advance to play Nanti-
coke at 7:30 p.m.today, Dec.
28 in the tournament finals.
The Lions will face West
Scranton in the consolation
match-up at 6 p.m. today.
We need to just keep work-
ing on fundamentals, Man-
nick said. Until we can make
these easy shots, I dont care
who we play. Were not going
to win.

gotten us better.
The Lions had only been
competitive late in one of their
five non-league losses when
they found themselves in a
tight contest in the fourth
quarter of the consolation
game of the Lackawanna Trail
Invitational against Lakeland.
Against Montrose, which
again joins Blue Ridge as the
top challengers to Lackawan-
na Trails title defense, the
Lions led early and played
well late.
Sweppenheiser scored the
first five points of an eight-
point streak to a 16-7 lead late
in the first quarter.
Colby Major then drained a
three-quarter court shot for
Montrose at the buzzer.
We were dead until that
happened, Montrose coach
Todd Smith said.
Majors bomb started a
15-point streak in which he
had 10 points to put Montrose
up, 22-16, midway through the
second quarter.
The Lions never led again.
Steve Miller finished with
25 points, 14 rebounds and
four blocked shots to lead
Lackawanna Trail. The 7-
foot-1 senior center had 11
points and six rebounds in the
last 10 minutes to lead the
comeback from a 45-33 def-
icit.
I thought we played great
until the fourth quarter,
Smith said. Then, Miller
took over. Hes tough when he
gets it by the rim.

49 and 51 before Dean hit his
game-winner.
Major led Montrose with 22
points and three steals. Dean

ABINGTON JOURNAL PHOTO/STEPHANIE WALKOWSKI
Patrick Calvey finished with four points in the Comets win over Hones-
dale.
two steals, an assist and
rebound in the quarter.
I told her to start playing
like youre capable of play-
ing, Bucciarelli said. She
was just going through the
motions and wasnt playing
her game, but I was happy
with how she came through
for us.
Chloe Shook scored eight
points and grabbed four
rebounds off the bench for
the Lady Comets.
She gave us some good
minutes and did a great
job, Bucciarelli said. I was
happy for her and I was
happy for Lauren Hoyt. Lau-
ren finally came through.
She was struggling and I
think this broke her out of
it.
Breanna Toro contributed
nine points, eight rebounds
and six blocks for the Lady
Comets. Melanie Coles add-
ed six points and 14 re-
bounds, including nine on
the offensive end.
Maura Byrne scored nine
points for the Classics while
Emily Pritchyk added six

before fouling out.
The Lady Comets were
scheduled play Dunmore in
