President of the AFABoard
Nikki Moser believes art is an
important part of our daily lives
and that everyone should em-
brace it.
Everyone should have art in
their house and be comfortable
with it, Moser laughed. And
art, especially during bad eco-
nomic times like were going
through, is even more impor-
tant and powerful than ever.
Moser has been president of
the AFAGallery in Scranton
for three years and is looking
forward to possibly serving
another one-year term. When
asked why she wanted to be
president, Moser said, I was
the gallery coordinator and the
president prior to me was step-
ping down and asked if I was
interested in the position. I felt
strongly about howAFAis
such a fixture in Scranton. It
was an exciting opportunity to
get the message out every-
where. I looked at our member-
ship and started really reaching
out to college students and high
school kids as well as the com-
munity at large.
Moser raved about the gal-
lerys number one fundraiser of
the year. Having just finished
the Holiday Auction, she said it
was really festive and everyone
had a great time. She felt the
food was great and she couldnt
stress enough howpeople were
really generous, including the
artists who donated their work
and the people digging deep in
their pockets to buy art. Moser
explained howthe auction is
sort of a pay day. The rent is
minimal, thanks to the build-
ings owner Peter Cupple. But
the gallery banks on the Holi-
day Art Auction. According to
Moser, the gallery is financially
okay but not great. However,
she stated that there are people

ABOUT THE PRESIDENT ...
Interests and hobbies: Chocolate,
flea markets, sewing and Id love
to have a huge green
house/laboratory some day
Im inspired by: Everything and
everyone. For me, making art is
responding to the world around
you, connecting the threads
Favorite place in the world: Cabo
Pulmo, Mexico
Favorite book: Well, I may have hit
the 1,000 books in the house mark
so this is a tough one. Top five
right now, The Paper Bag
Princess, Ferdinand the Bull,
Practical Demon Keeping, Your
Inner Fish and the catalog for the
Alexander McQueen exhibition
My greatest achievement: That my
kids eat curry and are good
travelers, and that once in a while
a student will tell me (years after
the fact) that some thing I said
changed their world
My idea of a perfect Saturday
afternoon: An impromptu
pancake/sleigh riding brunch with
the goddesses (my best girlfriends)
and a half dozen kids or an
afternoon of art/music and good
food
One item I cant leave home
without: Voluspa Cocoa Tamarind

COMMUNITY
CALENDAR
Lackawanna Countys
Adopt an Angel Program
has a pressing need for
sponsors. The annual pro-
gram provides holiday gifts
to youngsters in foster care
or who receive services
from the countys Office of
Children and Youth. Cur-
rently, sponsors are needed
for over 100 children and
youth.
Weve never had to turn
kids away, said William
Browning, Lackawanna
County Human Services
Director. That would be
unprecedented. Were get-
ting a little nervous.
Last year, the program
served 877 youngsters from
birth to age 21 through the
generosity of local residents.
Every attempt is made to
match sponsors with a child
of the preferred age and
gender, although an exact
match might not be possible
because of the number of
children served. Sponsors
receive a letter to Santa
from their child and are
asked to return the gifts to
Children and Youths fourth
floor office at 200 Adams
Ave., Scranton, by Decem-
ber 14.
In order to ensure that all
children in a family receive
an equitable amount of gifts,
sponsors are asked to spend
approximately $100 per
child. Since not everyone is
able to afford that amount,
potential sponsors are urged
to join with others rather
than sponsoring a child indi-
vidually. The program also
accepts monetary donations,
a new unwrapped gift or a
gift card. Each and every
contribution is greatly ap-
preciated.
To be a part of this long-
standing tradition, contact
Gloria Liuzzo at 963.6781
ext. 1301, and provide a
name, address, phone num-
ber and preferences for age
and/or gender.
Adopt an Angel
seeks sponsors
Letters of invitation have
been mailed to all public
and private schools in the
Northeast quadrant of Penn-
sylvania by the Northeastern
Pennsylvania Bridge Build-
ing Committee, an educa-
tional non-profit, incorporat-
ed and Pennsylvania regis-
tered charitable organiza-
tion. The committee invited
these schools to select three
students to represent their
school in a unique educa-
tional experience that re-
quires no registration fee.
Students are encouraged
by the committee to check
with their teachers or admin-
istration for details. Stu-
dents, parents, teachers and
administrators can also visit
the website at www.ne-
parbdgblg.com for informa-
tion regarding the competi-
tion, which will be held
February 11, 2012 at the
Viewmont Mall in Dickson
City.
The goal of the competi-
tion is to provide an educa-
tional learning experience
for secondary students to
demonstrate their under-
standing of scientific and
engineering principles to
everyday experiences, in this
case bridge structures. This
program attempts to encour-
age youth to investigate ca-
reer opportunities in science,
technology, mathematics and
engineering. The first and
second-place regional win-
ners are eligible to compete
at the International Compe-
tition in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Trophies and plaques,
sponsored by CECO Associ-
ates in memory of Angelo
Rosati, are awarded to the
first, second, and third-place
winners in the competition
and certificates of participa-
tion and commemorative
T-shirts are given to each
participant in the regional
competition. Trophies are
also presented to the schools
represented by the respective
first, second, and third-place
winning schools. Participa-
nts are eligible for scholar-
ships to local colleges/uni-
versities when they are
available. A special Archi-
tectural Excellence award,
in memory of Tomas Kovall,
an Abington Heights physics
teacher who died after a
short and courageous battle
with cancer, will also be
presented.
Organizations interested in
assisting the regional com-
petition can contact Donald
Kieffer at 586.0197 or

and financial services to a
wide variety of groups with
specific needs. Just some of
the options provided are for
big businesses, small busi-
nesses, farm owners and even
nonprofit organizations. The
company will meet with a
new client for a free eval-
uation and then based on the
needs will offer a full range
of personalized products for
that client.
A slightly new aspect of
DGK is their Risk Manage-
ment program. While the
company has always used risk
management in the past in
combination with some of its
different coverages, now
DGK is performing risk man-
agement individually.
Everyone has different
needs and weve found there
is a big need for risk manage-
ment and in the past we have
always used it, but now well
meet with someone to discuss
risk management and help
them find insurance without
necessarily providing it,
Stahlman said.
DGK also makes sure their
clients are given certain con-
veniences that other insurance
companies might not include.
The companys services
include a toll-free phone
number, as well as the agents
home phone numbers and
email addresses to provide
round the clock service.
When DGK started out in
1917 it was known as Davis
and Jones Insurance. Now we
have a fourth generation Da-
vis working with us and we
still like to think of ourselves
as a family owned business-
just with a lot more families,
Glattly said.
More information about the
company can be found on its
website: DGKinsurance.com
or by callimg 570.945.3031.
FACTORYVILLE - DGK
Insurance and Financial Ser-
vices is an insurance agency
that doesnt lack experience.
Founded in 1917, DGKs
mission, according to the
company website, is to be a
professional employee-owned
company growing without
geographic limitation, dedi-
cated to providing peace of
mind to our clients through
financial strategies, diversi-
fied insurance products and
other related services.
Serving 5,000 individuals
and 2,000 businesses in 16
counties, DGK is also a mem-
ber of the national Trusted
Choice SM program to help
serve its clients.
A key to the success of the
company, according to Anna
Jenkins, director of marketing
at DGK, is the work experi-
ence of each of the employ-
ees. Nineteen employees, 14
of whom are women, have
more than 265 years of com-
bined work experience.
We have people that have
been here for over 25 years
who are in our Over 25
Club and well have more
club members on the way,
Jenkins said.
Heather Percival, a sales
agent at DGK, is one of the
newbies at the organiza-
tion-with a little over one year
of experience at DGK.
When they call me a
newbie its because I really
am new compared to most of
the people here. They all have
so much experience, Percival
said.
DGK is also fully owned by
its employees -- developing
an ESOP (employee stock
ownership plan) in 1986 and
it is something CEO and
President Kathleen Glattly
feels makes her agency spe-
cial.
Were more than just a
working team. Were a family
and we love each other just
like a family would. Since we
all own part of the company
and have a vested interest in
it, I think it makes us work
even harder to make it suc-
cessful, Glattly said.

CLARKS SUMMIT- Clas-
sical Conversations, a nation-
wide home-school support
organization, held an open
house for parents and chil-
dren to attend on Nov. 22 at
Heritage Baptist Church, 415
Venard Rd., Clarks Summit.
The program is geared
toward equipping parents and
students with the classical
tools of learning so that par-
ents are empowered to be
their childs primary teach-
ers.
According to Bonnie Ja-
nus, Director of Classical
Conversations of Clarks
Summit, the program started
in August and now has an
enrollment of 48 students.
Its been going great,
Janus said. The students
seem to enjoy it and weve
been organizing some
Moms Night Out and fam-
ily potluck dinners to bring
everyone together.
The program currently has
four Foundations classes for
students age four through
sixth grade and three Chal-
lenge classes (A, B, and 1)
for students from seventh
through 10th grade.
Janus said there was a de-
cent turnout for the open
house, despite the short no-
tice.
We had a few people
come today and we will be
planning a few more open
houses in January, February
and March, she said.
Several students in Janus
Challenge B class said they
enjoy the program more than
their everyday workload.
They especially enjoy the
fact that they get to meet new
people.
The Challenge B class is
currently working on Science
Fair projects and will partici-
pate in a mock trial in the
spring.
According to Janus, there
will be an information ses-
sion for prospective students
on Dec. 13 from 5:30 to 7:30
p.m. in the Ryon Community
Room at the Abington Com-
munity Library. The library
has offered a lot of support to
the program, according to
Janus.
They have given us a dis-
play with all the books that
we use for the program,
Janus said. I thought that
was very nice and we are
very thankful for their help.
Anyone interested in the
program can contact Bonnie
Janus at 586.2449.
Classical Conversations
holds open house at church

Participating in an open house at Classical Conversations are, from left,
apprentice teacher Becky Paull, Grace Paull, Garrett Sespico, Ryan
Paone, Chloe Nunemaker, Asher Boekestein, Josiah Steier and Sebas-
tian Pospieszalski.
The American Red Cross
will host a blood drive on Dec.
16 from noon to 6 p.m. at the
Clarks Summit United Metho-
dist Church, 1310 Morgan
Hwy..
Shannon Ludwig, communi-
cations manager for the Amer-
ican Red Cross Northeast PA
Blood Services Region, said
the organization has had had
an extremely low turnout for
the region for the entire year.
Weve had a lot of inclem-
ent weather such as the snow
storms, flooding and rain.
Weather is always a big factor
in blood donations, he said.
Ludwig pointed out that
blood donors are helping acci-
dent victims, cancer patients
and sometimes babies. A par-
ticular concern is apheresis
donations. This is a special
kind of blood donation that
allows the donor to give just
one part of their blood. Plate-
let apheresis allows the donor
to donate platelets, the tiny
cells that help control bleed-
ing.
Advances in medical tech-
nology and treatments would
not be possible without plate-
lets, but there is still no way to
manufacture them. They must
come from dedicated platelet
donors. Another reason is that
platelets only last five days
and a constant supply is need-
ed. A donor may be able to
give up to three patient doses
in a single donation. By com-
parison, it takes the combined
platelets from approximately
12-18 traditional whole blood
donors to get the same
amount.
Jim Berardelli, 78, Clarks
Summit, has been a apheresis
donor for more than 10 years.
I gave over 17 gallons of
blood and found out my wife
had ovarian cancer, he said. I
know its a very important
thing for cancer people to
have.
Berardelli stressed how
helping makes him feel good
and that hed rather be a giver
than a receiver.
People who are very sick
need this, so Im grateful Im
healthy and can do this, he
said.
The process takes two
hours, and Berardelli feels its
something money cant buy.
Theres no pain and the nurs-
es are very kind and gentle,
and they have a TV set up for
you and movies for you to
watch while youre doing
something the good Lord gave
you, he said. Its just giving
your time and something you
can readily share with those in
need.
Robert Barry, of Clarks
Summit, is a dedicated aphere-
sis donor. , Its incredibly
important for people with
chemotherapy, he said. One
person can benefit three peo-
ple. The first time they (the
Red Cross) asked me to do it, I
said Id give it a try. After the
first time, I thought it was a lot
more work, but realized I
couldnt wimp out. It might be
a little bit more taxing, but
youre providing what no one
else can provide.
Those wishing to learn more
about becoming an apheresis
donor can contact the Amer-
ican Red Cross at
1.800.432.8045 ext 2235 or

Giving the gift money cant buy
BY KELLY MCDONOUGH
Abington Journal Correspondent
For Denise Reinhart, the
Waverly Community House
(Comm) is a wonderful
treasure and her goals as
the recently-appointed
Comm director of devel-
opment and marketing are
to increase both communi-
ty awareness of all the
Comm has to offer to fam-
ilies and individuals resid-
ing in our area, as well as
to increase donor support.
The Comm has always
been a special place, said
Reinhart, a native of Chin-
chilla. As young teenag-
ers, my sister and I would
ride our bikes from Chin-
chilla and meet our friends
at the Comm. The Comm
provides a safe and beauti-
ful place for people of all
ages to gather, learn and
have fun.
Visitors to the Comm at
1115 N. Abington Rd. in
historic Waverly may al-
ready know Reinhart
through her work as exec-
utive assistant, a position
she held from December
12, 2005 until her promo-
tion in August. Shantel
Subnaik, from St Croix,
replaced Reinhart as exec-
utive assistant.
Shes bright and a
quick learner and is a
great addition to the
Comm staff, Reinhart
said of Subnaik.
One of Reinharts most
rewarding accomplish-
ments while working at
the Comm was finding
all the previous recipients
of the Belin Arts Scholar-
ship in preparation for the
45th anniversary celebra-
tion of the winners of that
prestigious award. It was a
daunting task which took
more than a year, but with
the help of several search
engines like ZABA and
whitepages.com, I was
able to locate all except
for the first recipient.
As director of devel-
opment and marketing,
Reinhart works on all as-
pects of development and
marketing for the Comm
and acts in a support posi-
tion to executive director
Maria Wilson. She collab-
orates with and assists the
development committee
with capital fundraising
efforts, including capital
campaigns, identifying
donors and directing de-
velopment-related special
events and programs. She
is also responsible for
publicizing all events, pro-
grams and classes offered
at the Comm as well as
producing monthly news-
letters and the annual cal-
endar/ad book.
Prior to joining the
Comm, Reinhart was man-
ager of Pinewood Estate,
part of Bok Tower Gar-
dens in Lake Wales, Flor-
ida which, much like the
Comm, is on the National
Registry of Historic Plac-
es.
Pinewood Estate was
the winter home of Char-
les Austin Buck, vice
president of Bethlehem
Steel, and is open 364
days a year for public
tours and a six-week
Christmas at Pinewood
holiday open house, said
Reinhart.
When I got married in
1971, my husband Bill was
a school teacher in New
Jersey, Reinhart added. I
moved to New Jersey and
lived there for over 30
years. When my husband
was offered early retire-
ment, we opted for life in
Florida. After four years
there, we decided to look
for a house in the Abing-
tons so I could be near my
sisters, Joanie and Bonnie,
and my Mom and Dad
when they were here in
the summers.
Reinhart noted that her
parents, Marge and Rick
Girello, have been the
greatest influences in her
life. They have taught me
to love, work hard and be
kind, she said.
She currently resides in
Waverly with her husband
and two cats, Lillybell and
Papillon. In to her work at
the Comm, her hobbies
include cooking, reading
and dance.

When baby makes three,
budgets sometimes fly out the
door, lost in the rush of diaper
changes and middle-of-the-
night feedings. We all know
babies are not cheap and
thinking about college tuition
sends that figure significantly
higher. If you havent adjusted
your financial strategy to ac-
commodate the needs of your
future heirs, here are some key
considerations to keep your
long-term financial security
intact:
Up the ante on life insur-
ance
Once you become a parent,
it is crucial that you make
adequate provisions for your
child should one or both par-
ents die. But how much insur-
ance do you need? Youll need
to consider things like your
earnings and the total amount
of your household debt. Its
also a good idea to provide
enough to cover the costs of
college tuition for each child.
If only one parent works out-
side the home, be sure to cal-
culate the cost of hiring full-
time childcare should the stay-
at-home parent die premature-
ly. Once you own a life insur-
ance policy, be sure to update
your beneficiary designations
after the birth of each child.
The price of higher educa-
tion
One of the most common
questions new parents ask
their financial professionals is,
When should we start saving
for college? And the uni-
versally agreed upon answer
is: when the child is born.
When it comes to the skyrock-
eting costs of higher educa-
tion, time and compound in-
terest can definitely work in
your favor. And, thanks to
provisions in the tax law, there
are a couple of attractive col-
lege savings options such as
state offered Section 529
plans and Coverdell Educa-
tion Savings Accounts that
can offer significant federal
and state tax advantages.
Claim those deductions
Diapers, pre-school pro-
grams, school supplies, brac-
es, daycare - theres no ques-
tion parents deserve a finan-
cial break. The good news is
the government offers several
tax breaks for parents that are
worth exploring. A common
one that many people neglect
to take advantage of is a Flex-
ible Spending Account (FSA)
offered by many medium to
large-size employers.
These employer-sponsored
plans typically allow you to
sock away as much as $5,000
of pre-tax money for child
care expenses, reducing your
adjusted taxable income.
Some employers even offer a
company funds match.
If you dont work for a com-
pany that offers an FSA, take
heart. You may qualify for a
child-care tax credit if both
parents are working and your
child is under age 13. The
credit is a percentage (based
on your adjusted gross in-
come) of the amount of work-
related child and dependent
care expenses you paid to a
care provider.
The credit can range from
20 to 35 percent of your qual-
ifying expenses. Keep in mind
these tax breaks are either/or
you cant use the same ex-
penses for amounts disbursed
from an FSA and to take the
child care credit, too (if you
have two or more qualifying
individuals and $5,000 in an
FSA, you can take credit for
up to $1,000 additional ex-
penses not covered by the
FSA; with one child, if you
put less than $3,000 into the
FSA, additional expenses over
the FSA amount are eligible
for credit but only for the dif-
ference between $3,000 and
the amount in the FSA).
Another big tax perk: The
$1,000 annual child tax credit
which applies to children un-
der age 17. Couples filing
jointly who have one child and
earn no more than $110,000
can claim the full credit. The
child tax credit is scheduled to
drop to $500 in 2013.
Put it in writing: The need
for a will
New parents may assume
they dont need a will because
they have minimal assets. But
asset disbursement is not the
sole reason for a will. This
type of document is essential
for you to designate a guardi-
an for your child in the event
you die before that child reac-
hes adulthood.
An attorney can draft a will
for you in which you name an
executor who would pay your
debts and distribute your as-
sets, and to name a guardian
for your children. If you have
special concerns, such as the
support of a minor or disabled
child, you may want to set up a
more complex estate plan that
includes a custodial account or
a trust.
Your new bundle of joy
came into the world with noth-
ing but a birthday suit, but the
next 18 years will prove any-
thing but expense-free. Ade-
quate planning now can keep
that small addition from cre-
ating big financial headaches
later.
College savings plans of-
fered by each state may differ
significantly in features and
benefits and the optimal plan
for each investor depends on
his or her individual objective
and circumstances.
In comparing plans, each
investor should consider each
plans investment options, fees
and state tax implications.
State tax treatment varies. For
withdrawals not used to pay
for qualified higher education
expenses, earnings are subject
to income taxes at the account
owners rate plus a 10% feder-
al income tax penalty.
Investors should consider
the investment objectives,
risks and charges and expens-
es associated with municipal
fund securities before invest-
ing. More information about
municipal securities is avail-
able in the issuers statement.
The official statement should
be read carefully before in-
vesting.

The Abington Council of
Governments drew no quo-

ACOG had hoped to vote
in 2012 officers. Ballots
were collected and voting
will continue when enough
members are present to
vote.
During the meeting,
ACOG discussed possibil-
ities for upcoming speakers
for the meeting and com-
munity projects.
Chuck Wrobel, of Facto-
ryville, mentioned the im-
portance of shade tree
planting as well as water
barrels to aide in water run
off prevention. Rain bar-
rels would be a nice start.
Then you can go into water
gardens, he stated.
Wrobel went on to ex-
plain that water barrels are
emptied slowly over time
and can be used to water
plants in a garden.
ACOG secretary Marnie
ODea Palmer added, We
need some kind of a pro-
ject something that

ACOG
meeting
BY EMILY CULLEY
Abington Journal Correspondent
CLARKS SUMMIT --
Council held a work session
Oct. 25 to discuss whether the
borough should make an offer
for the Clarks Green police bid
request. It will be up for a vote
at tonights regular meeting.
Councilman Herman Johnson
feels the borough has to keep
in mind the best interest of its
own community before taking
on additional responsibilities.
The issue is how we can
afford what we have now and
how to maintain what we have
now, Johnson said.
Councilman Roy Davis sug-
gested that council form a
committee to decide if it
should take action.
Members of council planned
to meet for a short time after
the meeting to discuss their
options and possibly again on
Dec. 6 to further consider the
proposal.
Council will decide at next
weeks meeting if it plans to
pass an 8 percent tax increase
in 2012 to compensatefor the
falling earned income tax reve-
nue.
Borough Manager Virginia
Kehoe opened two bids for the
TAN (Tax Anticipation Note)
bid opening. Fidelity Bank
offered 2.29 percent while
PNC Bank offered 1.99 per-
cent. According to Kehoe, the
borough is paying a rate of
2.25 percent this year. Council
will vote on the bids tonight.
Davis also suggested that
council should consider refi-
nancing a $1.5 million 10-year
loan it took out in 2010 to
reach a settlement with lan-
downer Peter Amato after he
successfully sued the borough
when officials closed a portion
of Grandview Street to traffic
in 2003.
Johnson was pleased with
the job done by those who
worked on the budget for the
2012 year.
The personnel that worked
on the budget did a commend-
able job, he said.
The draft budget for the
sewer rate is currently at 43
EDUs, which would be an
increase of 6 percent, accord-
ing to Kehoe.
Kehoe announced that
Clarks Summit Council held a
joint meeting with representa-
tives from PennDOT and
Clarks Green to discuss the
stormwater runoff from Fair-
view Road.
The state, via, PennDOT,
installs and maintains the state
roads and puts in the storm-
water systems, she said.
Once they are in, if you are a
borough they become your
responsibility. If youre a town-
ship, they continue to be the
states responsibility. Also, a
lot of the pipes go underneath
the road and dump into the
municipalities.
According to Kehoe, the
three parties talked about
working together on a grant for
stormwater controls.
The ideal situation would
be to bring a parallel storm-
water system down South
Abington Road, but PennDOT
doesnt have the money, she
said. If they work together
with us along with Clarks
Green, we might be able to get
an H2O grant.
Kehoe also announced that
the finance committee sug-
gested the fee for pave cuts be
raised to $200 and that council
is working to have its code
enforcement officer oversee all
cuts.
Elizabeth Klein updated
council on the status of the tree
that had fallen on her property
on Summit Avenue. She had
PPL evaluate the situation and
it concluded there is no danger
from electrical wires near the
tree. She asked borough if it
would remove the tree; howev-
er, since its in an undedicated
alley, it cant take action.
There is nothing the bor-
ough can do, Kehoe said. In
the past, the borough had al-
ways worked with trees that
are in the public right of way,
but it became impossible to
afford.
According to Kehoe, the
Shade Tree Commission was
established in 2005-06 to pri-
oritize the worst trees in the
public right of ways. Kehoe
said she would contact chair
Donna Zagrapan to see if it has
any money in its budget to
help Klein.

The public hearing for
the Flood Plain Manage-
ment Ordinance took place
during the Waverly Town-
ship Meeting on Tuesday,
Nov. 28.
Supervisors discussed the
ordinance and it will be
voted on at the next meet-
ing. There has been no
progress on the E911 ad-
dressing problem. The pur-
pose of the address change
is for ambulance services
to find houses easier.
There have been changes
in the address for some but
for the ones not changed
yet it is still at a standstill.
Supervisor Atty. Andrew
Hailstone has received no
response from the letter
sent on November 18. A
motion was passed to send
out a contact list of every-
one Waverly Township has
spoken to regarding this
problem to Senator Patrick
Toomey.
Township manager Bill
White finished the sewer
budget and the proposed
2012 budget will be passed
at the next meeting.
The issue of drug testing
for commercial drivers
license holders was raised
by public works director
Thomas James. He ex-
plained nothing prohibits
drug testing but it is not
required. Waverly Town-
ship has decided there is
no need for drug testing.
There is also no legal ef-
fect if the township choos-
es not to drug test CDL
drivers.

Traditions were renewed
at Baptist Bible College
and Seminary (BBC&S)
with the annual Christmas
tree-lighting ceremony,
held on Nov. 29, to kick
off the holiday season on
campus.
The Christmas tree that
stands by the stairwell
near the Jackson Hall
Rotunda is a nine-foot
Douglas fir from Roba
Family Farms in Dalton. It
was selected and taken to
campus by Wayne Ste-
vens, Director of Facilities
Administration. The trees
adornment was added by
Ross Janowski, Chad
McCall and Tina Lysak,
members of the campus
facilities team.
BBC&S President Jim
Jeffery and his wife, Bert,
who have been hosting the
annual Christmas event for
a decade, led the time of
celebration, which in-
cluded carol singing, read-
ing of the Christmas story
and refreshments.
Pictures from the tree-
lighting ceremony may be
viewed at www.face-
book.com/BaptistBible.
Christmas decor has
been added to many areas
on campus, including light
posts and windows, with
lights, evergreens and
festive colors. Offices and
hallways are decorated
with trees, lights, ribbons
and garland to spruce up
buildings.
Upcoming Christmas
events include winter con-
certs on Dec. 9 and 10.
The BBC Music Depart-
ment will present three
concerts, one on Friday
and two Saturday, featur-
ing music that highlights
the Christmas celebration
of the birth of Jesus
Christ.
The concerts include
performances by the
Chamber Singers, Concert
Chorale, One Accord and
others.

A group of Lackawanna
Trail High School stu-
dents got in the holiday
spirit by spending the day
at Conifer Corner, a
Christmas tree farm in
Clinton Township to raise
money for a cause.
Conifer Corner opened
its doors to the students
so they could make
wreaths to sell for a fun-
draiser for the schools
music department.
Cathy Strauch, secretary
of Lackawanna Trails
Friends of Music, met up
with the owners, Eric and
Deanne Garver, of the
local tree farm at a Lack-
awanna Trail Craft Fair
and spoke to them to see
if they could work some-
thing out to provide the
wreaths.
The couple agreed to
host the fundraiser and let
the students help in mak-
ing the wreaths.
Students who took part
in wreath making were
Casey and Kerrigan Buck;
Taryn and Lauryn Ma-
leski; Cecilia, Janine and

Students at Waverly Ele-
mentary School are wishing
for a holiday season filled
with happiness, family, nice
homes and lots of fun gifts.
But not for themselves.
These are the wishes stu-
dents expressed on behalf
of children who dont have
the same comforts they do,
children in need and chil-
dren without permanent
homes waiting to be adopt-
ed.
Jilda Julian, a teacher at
Waverly Elementary, first
organized the pajama drive
last year for her fourth-
grade class as a part of
Scholastic Book Clubs
The Great Bedtime Story
Pajama Drive. This year,
she decided to include the
other two fourth-grade
classes as well. The stu-
dents are collecting new
pajamas to send to Scholas-
tic, which will match each
pair with a new book to be
given to a child in need.
One student, Jackie Ven-
tura, from Mrs. Ostrowskis
fourth-grade class, said, I
liked bringing the pajamas
in for the kids that need
them.
Julian pointed out that
Venturas family does foster
parenting, so she under-
stands what its like for the
kids who will receive the
gifts and knows how spe-
cial it will be for them.
Ventura agreed, saying
the children love to receive
things like new pajamas,
books and stuffed animals.
Another student, Nick
Colombo, from Julians
class, said his favorite thing
about the pajama drive was
getting the pajamas and
giving them to people who
really like [them]. He said
he brought in a bright green
and pink pair, which he
helped his mom pick out at
the store, and he hopes
whoever receives them will
like them and the book.
Allie Nealon, from Mr.
Collinss fourth-grade class,
brought in a pair with plaid
pants and a t-shirt with the
words love, peace, happi-
ness on it. She said her
favorite part was bringing
in these really cool paja-
mas. Her Christmas wish
for the girl who receives
them is that she gets a book
she likes and a new home.
The students expressed
many such wishes, echoing
the purpose of Scholastics
Pajama Program.
According to a September
2010 Scholastic press re-
lease announcing the pro-
grams 10th anniversary, it
all began in New York City
when one New York wom-
an noticed children in shel-
ters and group homes
sleeping in their clothes
because they didnt own
even one pair of pajamas.
She filled a shopping bag
with new sleepwear and
books and began to hand
them out to the youngsters,
many of whom were
abused, abandoned or ne-
glected. Her non-profit
Pajama Program marks its
first decade of service in
2011.
Julian first learned of the
program from a flyer that
came with her classs Scho-
lastic Book Club order and
decided to try it. After last
years overwhelming re-
sponse, she decided to ex-
pand it this year.
We live in a very caring
community, Julian said,
and I thought the Pajama
Drive was an ideal opportu-
nity for our students to help
other children in need, es-
pecially during the holi-
days. She especially likes
the fact that Scholastic
matches each pair of paja-
mas with a book.
Pajama Program founder
Genevieve Piturro said in
the 2010 release, For so
many needy and abused
children, winter means end-
less cold and scary nights.
The winter season is a par-
ticularly critical time when
these children are most
vulnerable to serious colds
and illnesses. Warm, clean
pajamas help to protect
them against night chills
and harmful conditions.
Emotionally, pajamas are a
hug for children who feel
lost and alone.
Julian and her students
are collecting the pajamas
through December 9 when
they will be sent to Scho-
lastic and anyone in the
community who would like
to donate a pair of new
pajamas, any size from
newborn to adult, can drop
them off at the school by
that date.

Buzz out bullying is
the theme of this years
Say No to Bullying and
Yes to Love talent show to
be held at the Waverly
Community House on Dec.
9 from 7 to 9 p.m. Orga-
nized for the third consec-
utive year as a senior pro-
ject by Abington Heights
High School students, the
show will be hosted this
year by Chloe Maloney and
John Milliken.
Maloney said that kids
have dreams and when they
are bullied, they start to
doubt themselves and those
dreams are diminished
along with their self-es-
teem.
The show also raises
money for the Parents Lov-
ing Children Through Au-
tism Foundation (PLCTA),
a nonprofit organization
that gives presentations at
local schools, not only on
autism awareness but also
on bullying.
Kathleen Walsh, founder
of PLCTA, said bullying is
a major problem among
todays youths, affecting
children as early as first
grade. Two of the things
she thinks chileren need
are compassion and pas-
sion. When they arent
passionate about something
good, she said, they focus
their energy instead on
lashing out at each other.
Walsh said her goal is to
bring awareness to the
problem, but that cant be
just a one-time thing. The
teaching compassion, she
said, needs to be non-stop
until we see a change.
Maloney agreed, adding
that she hopes the project
will be continued by others
after she graduates. It has
become like a torch, first
lit by Maloneys sister,
Chelsea Maloney, along
with Milliken in 2009,
passed to Marquis Ivey in
2010 and now in the hands
of Chloe Maloney.
Each year, the show
evolves into something a
little different than the
previous year as new hosts
and performers step up to
the stage. Maloney said
there are 11 individuals and
groups signed up with a
variety of acts, ranging
from singers and dancers to
a crew of rappers. This
years message of follow-
ing your dreams and put-
ting an end to bullying will
also be presented during
the show by its hosts.
I am a peace spreader,
Maloney said. I look for-
ward to getting up in front
of the audience and spread-
ing love.
Cost is $5 for adults and
$3 for students and chil-
dren. The Waverly Com-
munity House is located at
1115 N. Abington Rd., Wa-
verly. To learn more about
the PLCTA, visit plcta.org.

CLARKS SUMMIT -
Landsdowne Creek, near
Moes Southwest Grill in
Clarks Summit, will have
green leaves growing close
to it. This is because the
Clarks Summit Shade Tree
Commission and other vol-
unteers planted almost 300
trees and shrubs on Sat-
urday December 3. Weeks
before that, they also grew
11 crab apple trees.
The volunteers pushed
wheelbarrels full of mulch
and soil for the new trees
and shrubs they planted on
the ground near Lands-
downe Creek.
Municipal arborist Josh
Arp gave a speech explain-
ing the general benefits of
trees. Arp talked about the
many barriers that trees
affect, including visual bar-
rier, sound barrier and even
crime barrier. He explained
what the trees will provide
for us including color, val-
ue, wildlife, and communi-
ty.
We as a Shade Tree
Commission have chosen to
focus on planting this entire
area for the health of the
local community, both resi-
dential and commercial,"
said Arp.
Forestry professional
Mike Gockley from Clarks
Green educated the volun-
teers about how trees bene-
fit the waterways.
By planting these trees
and shrubs, we are provid-
ing stability, keeping water
temperatures cooler and
reducing sediments in the
stream, said Gockley.
It will also help prevent
flooding by removing water
out of the soil and help
reduce surface runoff, he
added. Its also a huge
water life benefit. Birds and
squirrels will benefit by
providing nesting habitats
and providing food because
some of them will be fruit
trees.
Gockley also said trees
act as buffers by stopping or
slowing down pollutants,
which flow to the Chesa-
peake Bay.
The goal of the Shade
Tree Commission is to not
only increase tree canopy
from 33% to 40% but also
to fulfill the Chesapeake
Bay Initiative.
President Obama signed
a law to protect the Chesa-
peake Bay" said the Com-
missions president Donna
Zagrapan. The Shade Tree
Commission was one of the
first organizations to volun-
teer to protect the Chesa-
peake Bay.
Landsdowne Creek flows
into Summit Lake, which
eventually flows down-
stream into the Chesapeake
Bay.
The Pennsylvania Amer-
ican Water Company pre-
sented the organization with
a grant of $2,500 to pay for
the trees, shrubs, mulch,
soil and educational tips
from Mike Gockley and
Josh Arp.
The purpose of the grant
is to clean up debris and
reforest the areas of Lands-
downe Creek, said Zagra-
pan.
The Shade Tree Commis-
sion had a decent turnout of
people who gave their time
Saturday morning to plant
the trees and shrubs.
I think its wonderful
that people are willing to
come out on a Saturday to
volunteer their services,
said Stephen Page, super-
visor of the project.
Volunteering gives them
an appreciation for the com-
munity and for what we are
trying to accomplish with
the streams, said Gockley.
Im very happy with the
turnout but there will al-
ways be more project for
more people to volunteer,
said Zagrapan.
Mulch was provided on
Saturday by Albert J. Visel-
li.

SCRANTON Millions of
people across the country heard
President Barack Obamas
speech at Scranton High School
on Wednesday, Nov. 30, but
only those in the roomcould
shout their concerns and en-
couragement to the commander
in chief that frenzied afternoon.
The 44th president of the
United States used much of his
30-minute speech to tout his
American Jobs Act and urge
Washington to extend a one-
year payroll tax cut that will
expire at the end of the year.
The speech was often local-
ized, relating what these taxes
mean to the average Scranto-
nian, and his rally cry to ask
our wealthiest citizens to pay
their fair share in taxes pro-
voked consistent cheers and
applause fromthe reported
1,950 people in the gymnasium.
Opening with Go, Knights!
referring to the high schools
mascot, Obama thanked city
resident Donna Festa for allow-
ing himto visit her East Elm
Street home before she in-
troduced the president onstage
at 2:34 p.m.
Come to my house! a
woman yelled.
Next time, Obama retorted
with a smile.
Bringing greetings fromVice
President Joe Biden, a Scranton
native, Obama cited the Festas
as an example of a typical mid-
dle-class American family, but
noted that they have good,
steady jobs while many have
it a lot tougher.
Alot of you watched your
incomes fall or your wages
flatline. Meanwhile, the costs of
everything fromcollege to
health care were all going up.
And then, after all that, the
financial crisis hit because of
the irresponsibility of some on
Wall Street. And that made
things a whole lot tougher, he
explained.
Theres a sense of deep
frustration among people
whove done the right thing, but
dont see that hard work and
that responsibility pay off. And
thats not the way things are
supposed to be, not here in
America.
Obama sent the American
Jobs Act to Congress two
months ago, which independ-
ent economists saidwould
create up to 2 million jobs, but
Republicans in the Senate
blocked it. Mentioning another
Scranton-born politician, he
said Democratic Senator Bob
Casey is already on the pro-
gram.
(Republicans) refused to
even debate it. Even though
polls showed that two-thirds of
Americans of all political
stripes supported the ideas in
this bill, not one single Repub-
lican stepped up to say, This is
the right thing to do, he said,
which was met by boos from
the audience.
Deflecting Republican crit-
icismlabeling himas a tax and
spend liberal, he noted that
taxes on the average middle-
class family are lower nowthan
when he took first office in
January 2009, giving working
families a $1,000 tax cut in
2011that is set to expire in
about a month.
Instead of a $1,000 tax cut
next year, the typical working
family under my plan would get
a tax cut of $1,500, Obama
said. If youre a small business
owner, my jobs bill will cut
your payroll taxes in half. So if
youve got 50 employees mak-
ing $50,000 each, youd get a
tax cut of nearly $80,000.
The president pointed to
Scrantons history of immigra-
tion, with each successive
generation doing a little bit
better by doing their part while
looking out for one another
and compared this to the sim-
ple choice thats facing Con-
gress right now.
Are you going to cut taxes
for the middle class and those
who are trying to get into the
middle class? Or are you going
to protect massive tax breaks
for millionaires and billionaires,
many of whomdont even want
those tax breaks? he ques-
tioned.
(Republicans) may have
voted no on these tax cuts
once, but Imalready filled
with the Christmas spirit. I want
to give themanother chance. I
want to give thema chance to
redeemthemselves.
Balancing his serious plea
with lighthearted jokes
throughout, he told the audi-
ence to send the Senate a mess-
age this holiday season: Dont
be a Grinch.
Dont vote to raise taxes on
working Americans during the
holidays. Make sure to renew
unemployment insurance dur-
ing the holidays, he continued.
Stop saying no to steps that
would make our economy
stronger. Put our country before
party. Put money back into the
pockets of working Americans.
Do your job. Pass this bill.
Obamas Nov. 30 message
may have fallen on deaf ears as
the Senate voted 51-49 in favor
of the Middle Class Tax Cut
Act of 2011, falling nine votes
shy of the required 60 for the
bill to pass. Pennsylvanias
senators split their votes as
Casey, the sponsor of the legis-
lation, voted in favor and Sen.
Pat Toomey, R-Zionsville,
voted against it.

in the community who send
generous contributions
throughout the year, but be-
cause of the economy, shes
being very cautious.
Mosers future plans include
sustaining whats going on
already. But shed like to look
outside the area for artists in
order to broaden peoples per-
spectives on what is happening
in the current art world. By
bringing in outside artist to be
showcased in Scranton allows
our artists to be showcased
outside the area, Moser said.
In discussing things Moser has
done as president that shes
proud of, shes quick to credit
others. AFAis a huge ma-
chine. Its a collective group
working together and we have a
spectacular board.
She also mentioned the iron
exhibition. The Keystone Iron-
works is funded by Arts En-
gage Child Youth Services.
Keystone College is also part
of it and Moser explained how
she simply linked people to-
gether like a big train. Some-
thing else Moser is excited
about is the gallery nowjuries
work.
Comfortable in her role as
catalyst, Moser tries to get
everyone involved. She stated
that you can have all the great
ideas in the world but that you
need people to pull everything
off.
Moser had numerous exhibi-
tions over the years, including
MICAFound Public In-
stallation, Art on the Edge, a
juried exhibition in Hawley and
a juried installation exhibition
at Mountain Jamin Hunter,
NewYork. She is an instructor
at Keystone College and co-
founder of Keystone Iron-
works. She also owns Sugar
Jones, a design and fabrication
company since1991. Moser is
an artist in education NEIU19
for the literacy-based artist in
residence.
When not busy with her art,
Moser, of Factoryville, spends
time with her two children: Eli
Moser Blake, 11and Georgia
Moser Blake, 9.

I came across the follow-
ing quote from Albert Ein-
stein and liked it: If you
want your children to be
intelligent, read them fairy
tales. If you want them to
be more intelligent, read
them more fairy tales.
I agree with Einstein;
folk tales are wonderful
tools to use to learn about
the human experience.
They can teach us about
courage, honesty, respon-
sibility and so much more.
Their themes tend to tran-
scend culture and time and
can be enjoyed by folks of
all ages.
For the past year, the Die-
trich Childrens Theatre
has been presenting stage-
versions of folk tales from
around the world to the
community. These produc-
tions have prompted audi-
ence discussions about
many universal topics and
have taught us about Rus-
sian, Native American,
West African and Indian
cultures.
To close out the year, the
Dietrich Childrens Theatre
will take us on another ad-
venture with its production
of Lon Po Po: A Red Rid-
ing Hood Story from Chi-
na. Join us on Friday, Dec.
9 at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
and Saturday, Dec. 10 at 11
a.m. to attend a free per-
formance.
During this show, we will
visit the Chinese country-
side where three small chil-
dren bid farewell to their
father as he travels over-
night to visit their sick
grandmother, or po po.
The children are cau-
tioned not to open the door
to anyone, as there might
be a wolf, or lon lurking
about. But when there is a
knock on the door late at
night, is it their po po - or
is it really an evil lon po po
instead?
Tickets are free to this
production as well and can
be picked up at the Dietrich
Theater ticket booth or
reserved over the phone by
calling 996.1500. We would
like to thank the Pennsyl-
vania Humanities Council
for sponsoring these per-
formances.
In addition to presenting
live theatre on December
10, the Dietrich will also
host a Kundalini Yoga do-
nation class with instructor
Melissa Russo from 10 to
11:30 a.m.
During this class, you
will be invited to experi-
ence the gifts that Kundali-
ni yoga has to offer as you
explore breath, movement

By Mary Ann McGrath
Abington Community Library patrons busy shopping for
the holidays can put driving time to good use with an audio
book selected from the year-end bonanza of titles just added
to the Talking Book adult collection. The following half-
dozen are just samples of the more than 100 new titles on the
shelf:
Sacred Hearts, by Sarah Dunant --The year is 1570 and in
the convent of Santa Caterina, Serafina, the 16-year-old
daughter of a noble family from Milan, willful, emotional,
sharp and defiant, fights against her incarceration. Mean-
while, outside the convent walls, the Counter Reformation
begins to purge the Catholic Church and impose on the nun-
neries a regime of oppression.
Running from the Devil, by Jamie Freveletti -- Thrown,
unhurt, from the wreckage of a hijacked plane in the moun-
tains near the Venezuelan border, Emma Caldridge can do
nothing but watch as guerillas take the other passengers hos-
tage. Using her prowess as a marathon runner and her scien-
tific knowledge as a chemist to stay alive, she discovers an
injured passenger, secret government agent Cameron Sumner,
separated from the group. Finding Emma and Sumner de-
pends on the Department of Defense, whose officials turn to a
former military officer, Edward Banner, for help.
The Paris Vendetta, by Steve Berry -- Only by matching
wits with a terrorist-for-hire, foiling a catastrophic attack and
plunging into a desperate hunt for a lost treasure secreted by
Napoleon Bonaparte can Copenhagen bookshop owner Cot-
ton Malone hope to avert an international financial anarchy.
Fatal Secrets by Allison Brennan -- FBI agent Dean
Hooper has been chasing Xavier Jones for years on money-
laundering and tax-evasion charges and doesnt need or want
an Immigration and Customs Enforcement senior agent, So-
nia Knight, second-guessing his every move. The Bureau is
ordered to join forces with ICE, implementing a team effort
by Hooper and Sonia.
My Name is Memory, by Ann Brashares -- Daniel Grey
has the memory, the ability to recall past lives and he has
spent centuries falling in love with the same girl. Life after
life, he and Lucy Broward have been drawn together only to
be torn apart. From 552 Asia Minor to 1918 England and 1972
Virginia, the two souls share a long path of seeking each oth-
er.
The Gift, by Cecelia Ahern -- Lou Suffern is immune to
the holiday spirit that delights everyone around him, but one
frigid morning, he uncharacteristically buys a cup of coffee
for Gabe, a homeless man huddled outside his office building,
and then prolongs his charitable streak by getting Gabe a job
in the mailroom. Disturbingly, Gabe always seems to be in
two places at once, resorting to unorthodox methods to show
his patron what truly matters and how precious is the gift of
time.
Library Sock Tree
Donations of socks for infants, toddlers and young children
(to age six) can be made at the library during December. The
socks can be hung on the tree in the Childrens Room as deco-
rations. After the holidays, they will be sent to St. Josephs
Center, Dunmore, for distribution through the Mother/Infant
Pantry.

At Kathleen Barretts art
studio in the lower level of the
Waverly United Methodist
Church at 421S State St., stu-
dents have been preparing for
the upcoming Second Friday
Art Walk to be held in Clarks
Summit on Fri., December 9,
from5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The art walk is hosted by the
Arts Council of the Abing-
tons.
In her studio approximately
one month ago, a group of art
students ages 6 through15,
contemplated, sketched and
painted. They were seated at
the long tables or positioned
with paintbrushes in hand at
easels scattered throughout the
room. Natural light flooded the
roomas Barrett, a full-time
artist, guided her students
through a natural progression.
I thought that it (the art
walk) is a perfect way to show-
case my students work. I want
to give my students that full
experience: making their work,
being creative and then putting
it out in the world and getting
feedback frompeople who are
viewing it (the art) fresh for the
first time. I love that whole
notion. The Christmas card
painting class is going to do
prints of the paintings and
were going to have Christmas
cards to sell because I like
themto have that notion that
they can make a sale fromtheir
art. I like themto have the full
experience of being creative. I
thought the holidays are the
perfect opportunity so theyre
going to bundle themin sets of
four with ribbon and theyll
have themfor sale at a modest
price for the show.
Approximately 30 of Bar-
retts students enrolled in her
childrens art and adult oil
painting and painted furniture
classes, will exhibit their art at
the Moore Building, 421S
State St., in Clarks Summit as
part of the art walk. Mediums
to be represented will include
oil on canvas and gouache on
canvas, some drawings in
graphite and charcoal on dif-
ferent types of paper, and
painted furniture.
The first student showwe
did (in July) was tremendously
successful, Barrett said.
One of her students, 12-year-
old Phillip Misterman of
Clarks Green was working on
a winter scene, an oil painting
on canvas titled, The Scout
Friend or Foe.
Mrs. Barrett told me there
was going to be a winter show
so I decided to do a winter
scene and I thought Id do
something fromAmerican
history, Misterman said.
In addition to the student
exhibit at the Moore Building,
Charles Charlesworth, co-chair
of the arts council board of
directors along with Charles
Sandercock, announced three
newvenues will participate in
the art walk: Steve Pronko on
State Street, Duffys Coffee
Shop and Danielle and Com-
pany.
The list of venues will in-
clude Steve Pronko on State
Street, Angels Galeria, Duffys
Coffee Shop, Danielle and
Company, Jaya Yoga, Kidaz-
zle, Paulettes Pretty Purses,
Mary Koczwara Hair Salon,
Beta Bread, Edward Jones,
Cloe and Company, Every-
thing Natural, Sole to Soul, the
Moore Building and Mono-
gramMuse.
All the venues that are retail
shops will be having the same
discounts they offered during
the Holiday Open House and
Small Business Saturday so
please support the shops that
support the Art Walk, Char-
lesworth said. Get your map
initialed by every venue on the
map and be registered for a
free print by one of our fea-
tured artists.

Abington Journal Correspondent
Caddie Ries, 11, of Tunkhannock,
will have her work shown at the
Second Friday Art Walk.
The Dietrich Childrens
Theatre will take us on an
adventure to China with
its production of Lon Po
Po: A Chinese Red-Riding
Hood Story at the Dietrich
Theater in Tunkhannock.
Performances are at 10
a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Fri-
day, Dec. 9 and at 11 a.m.
on Saturday, Dec. 10. Per-
formances are free and
open to the public.
The folk tale adapted for
the stage and directed by
Jennifer Jenkins contains
words in Mandarin Chi-
nese and reinforces valua-
ble lessons about telling
the truth and what real
courage is.
We like to take ancient
stories that cross all cul-
tures and show kids how a
familiar tale like Red Rid-
ing Hood might be told in
China, said Jenkins. Its
good for them to experi-
ence how children from
different backgrounds are
similar to them in
thoughts and feelings.
Characters are played by
local actors Laurel Rad-
zieski, Doreen Schottman,
Rich Ryczak and David
Swanson.
Radzieski, a graduate of
Keystone College, has
appeared in other Dietrich
Childrens Theatre shows,
most notably as both the
fierce Wolf and the clever
Cat in Peter and the
Wolf. She also has ap-
peared in A Midsummer
Nights Dream and The
Vagina Monologues and
is a lighting and costume
designer and writer.
Doreen Schottman is
making her debut with the
Childrens Theatre and
was last seen at the Die-
trich in Frankenstein.
She has a strong back-
ground with improv, dance
and childrens theatre.
Bringing live theatre to
children is as fun and ex-
citing to the cast members
performing it as it is to
the children watching it,
said Schottman.
Rich Ryczak has ap-
peared in other shows for
the Dietrich Childrens
Theatre and was last seen
as the sneaky Coyote in
Coyote: A Native Amer-
ican Trickster Tale. He
also played Grandpa Joad
in The Grapes of Wrath
and DeLacey in Franken-
stein.
David Swanson was last
seen as the Creature in
Frankenstein at the Die-
trich and as Tom Joad in
The Grapes of Wrath.
He has also thrilled hun-
dreds of children as Gin-
ger in the Dietrich Chil-
drens Theatres The Gin-
gerbread Man. He is also
a singer and dancer, hav-
ing appeared in South
Pacific and The Drowsy
Chaperon.
Jenkins has worked with
Stephen Sondheims
Young Playwrights orga-
nization, which encourag-
es school age children to
express themselves
through writing. She has
appeared onstage with
childrens theatre compa-
nies such as Studio59 and
The Cookie Company. She
has also worked with the
Manhattan Theatre Club
and the PBS series Great
Performances for Thir-
teen/WNET in New York.
Lon Po Po is a 45-min-
ute show. Tickets are free
and can be reserved by
calling 996.1500 or picked
up at the Dietrich Theater
ticket booth while supplies
last.

ABINGTON- Often, enter-
tainment is the first thing
to get cut from budgets
during trying economic
times, but thankfully, the
Abington Community Li-
brarys Second Saturday
program is a music series
that can fit into anyones
budget.
In its second year, the
free concert series features
a different group perform-
ing at the library the sec-
ond Saturday of every
month. The program will
continue this Saturday,
Dec. 10, with the band Von
Storch performing from 1
to 3 p.m.
Every progressive com-
munity in the United States
has a program where librar-
ies offer concerts. It ele-
vates the part that our own
library plays in our com-
munity, and also elevates
our own quality of life for
everyone living here, Bar-
bara Cohen said.
Cohen, the guitar player
of Von Storch, came up
with the concept for Sec-
ond Saturday with ACL
Director Leah Rudolph
after Von Storch performed
at the ACL in February of
2010 as part of the Clarks
Summit Festival of Ice.
The performance was
well received and the two
discussed the benefits of
having live music regularly
at the ACL. That Septem-
ber they launched Second
Saturdays.
The series gives those in
the area a chance to see
live music that they might
not normally be able to
either because theyre not
old enough, or they lack
the desire to attend a live
show presented a club.
Cohen, who picks the
performers, said she strives
to showcase the caliber of
musician who exhibits ex-
cellence and professional-
ism, and so far hasnt had a
problem filling the bill.
This area, I dont know
if people know this our not,
but because its located so
near to the Delaware Water
Gap, which is a haven for
some of the greatest jazz
musicians anywhere, and
New York City, we can pull
and showcase musicians of
that caliber and we have,
said Cohen.
Judging by attendance,
those in the area seem to
agree, as the event has be-
come a much anticipated
event for many since its
inception.
It has grownand the
audience has grown, Co-
hen said.
The project has also
grown in scope. In addition
to the musical artists, start-
ing in September the li-
brary also started hosting
different visual artists.
Their work is featured at
the library during the per-
formance. This month the
library will showcase the
work of Leigh-Ann Sjo-
gren.
It really speaks to the
mission of the project,
which is to have the library
serve as a hub for the arts,
music, the visual arts and
literature, Cohen said.
Now that the program is
really starting to grow, Co-
hen said her hope is that it
can continue.
Up until now, Second
Saturday has been funded
mainly by grant money. At
the time of this interview
the library was waiting to
hear if they were approved
for another grant that
would fund the program.
But for now Second Sat-
urday is alive, and Cohen
said they will continue to
put on the quality of enter-
tainment those in the area
have come to expect with
Von Storchs performance
this weekend.
Von Storch features Co-
hen and bass player Joe
Cole playing jazz standards
from the Great American
Song Book. This perform-
ance will also feature a
special guest, saxophone
and flute player Julian Spa-
racino.
Julian and Joe play in a
band together, Exact
Change, Cohen said.
Its just something a
little different. The horn
brings a little different dy-
namic and I really enjoy it.
And Julian is really a mas-
ter hes been playing all his
life.
Cohen went on to add
that in addition to the grant
money, the program is also
funded by local donations.
Those interested in mak-
ing a donation, or for more
information on the pro-
gram, call 570.587.3440.

upcoming production of
Night Mother.
The theater company is
looking for women, age 40 and
up for mother and daughter
roles.
The play, written by Marsha
Norman, is frequently de-
scribed as a play about suicide.
Although the play does indeed
deal with suicide, it is about a
lot of things, most particularly
control -- who has it, who
wants it and the extent a person
will go to obtain it.
Show dates are scheduled for
May 10 to 13 and 18 to 20.

LACKAWANNA TRAIL-
Lackawanna Trail High
School will showcase its boys
and girls basketball teams at
its annual Meet the Lions
event and fundraiser at 7 p.m.
tonight, De.c 7 in the Lacka-
wanna Trail High School
gymnasium.
The event gives parents,
students and fans of the Li-
ons basketball program an
opportunity to meet members
of both teams at the varsity,
junior varsity and junior high
levels.
We have players family
and friends as well as students
come, said boys varsity bas-
ketball coach Andrew Kettel.
Its just a fun night of basket-
ball before all the games and
everything starts.
Before the introduction of
team members, the Lackawan-
na Trail Elementary School
teachers will face off against
the junior and senior high
school teachers in a basketball
game.
Player introductions will
follow the faculty basketball
game. After player introduc-
tions, the teams will participa-
te in drills.
We tried to mimic Mid-
night Madness (University of
Scranton event) where a cou-
ple nights before we play our
first game we introduce the
guys and girls teams, Kettel
said.
A DJ will provide entertain-
ment for the event which also
includes a 50-50 raffles, prizes
and snacks.
Kettel initiated the Meet the
Lions event five years ago
when he started coaching the
boys varsity basketball team.
My first year I had the idea
to just try to get some com-
munity support behind the
team and bring some excite-
ment to our basketball pro-
gram and to the season ahead
of us, Kettel said. It has

THE END OF the season
will determine which teams
are champions.
Its no coincidence, how-
ever, that on an annual ba-
sis the high school basket-
ball teams that end up be-
ing champions seem to keep finding each
other at the start of the season.
Soon enough, the top teams will be
fighting for division titles and playoff
seeding, then eventually district champion-
ships and state tournament berths.
First, however, they have to get through
the openers.
Part of what has made the non-league
portion of the schedule so interesting in
recent years is that the best teams have
been so willing to jump right into strong
competition.
It certainly helps that, unlike in football,
losses in early non-league games do abso-
lutely no damage to playoff hopes. Non-
league games count in the overall record,

CLARKS SUMMIT - Abington Heights has a lot
of experienced athletes returning to its boys and girls
swim teams. The Comets return senior swimmers
Seth Pinches and Toli Epsom and senior diver Dan
Jasinski, junior swimmers Tom Jubon, Jason Kohn,
Pat Conahan, Matt Pettinato and Matt Bruzzano and
sophomore swimmers Matt Remus, Dan Stevens and
Walker Kay.
The boys team has a lot of kids with a lot of talent
that decided to be serious this year, said co-head
coach Mary Gromelski.
Swimmer Steve Sorokanich and diver Zach Burns
were the only boys to graduate off last years squad.
The Lady Comets return senior swimmers Emma
Gromelski and Vanessa Lempicky, senior divers
Quinn Gibbons and Marisa Gretz, junior swimmer
Kristie Furiosi, sophomore swimmer Krista Brickel
and sophomore swimmer/diver Annie Gromelski.
Coach Gromelski is also excited about the group
moving up from the Abington Gators.
The girls freshman class has talent, depth and
discipline, she said. I cant wait for our first meet to
see how they perform.
Diver Katy Bills and swimmers Karlie Jaeger, Kim
Barren and Rebe Sproul graduated from last years
girls team.
The teams first meet will be Dec. 9 at home
against Holy Redeemer.
I expect to see school records broken this year,
Gromelski said. We have a lot of talent and depth. If
we can stay healthy, I think we can go far.
Our team is focused and everyone has been swim-
ming for a long time. They have dedication and a
good work ethic. They are not just really good swim-
mers; they also excel in academics, music and art. Its
very much a well-rounded team.
First-year coach Mike Labagh is excited about the
talent and mindset of the team.
I was very impressed with how disciplined the
swimmers were, he said. We have a very hard-
working group. After the first practice, I saw how
they had all the fundamentals down. That makes it
easier to help them refine their strokes. Hopefully, we
will see a lot of improvement throughout the season.
The girls and boys teams will look to build off
AHHS coaches hoping
depth equals success

FACTORYVILLE- By the
end of this years basketball
season most of the practices
are going to blend together in
the memories of the mem-
bers of Lackawanna Trails
varsity basketball team, but
head coach Andrew Kettel is
confident that one will stand
out.
The team traveled to The
Naismith Memorial Basket-
ball Hall of Fame in Spring-
field, Mas. on Friday and
Saturday, Nov. 25 and 26 for
a special practice.
We usually go to the Pre-
season NIT (National In-
vitational Tournament) in
New York, but (Kettel) want-
ed to do something a little
bigger this year and get the
team motivated. It was an
awesome trip, said senior
shooting guard Matt Lochen.
It was kind of like a tradi-
tion the preseason NIT
tournament and it was great.
We always had a blast, said
Kettle. But this summer, I
was watching the Hall of
Fame induction and I thought
it would be neat to be able to
take my guys up there.
Kettel discussed the idea
with the teams booster club
to see if the team had the
funds for the trip, and then
the school board for permis-
sion to take the players. Both
groups approved.
We really appreciate the
school board and booster
club supporting our trip and
giving us the opportunity to
go and do something like
that. And, hopefully its a
memory that these guys will
have for a long time, said
Kettel.
The team boarded a bus to
Springfield after a practice at
Lackawanna Trail High
School on Friday, arriving at
the Hall of Fame on Saturday
at 8 a.m. for a two-hour prac-
tice on the Hall of Fames
court.
They had hoops from all
different ages of basketball,
said Lochen of the court.
That was really neat,
added senior guard Lyle
Sweppenheiser. They have
(plaques) of all the people in
the Hall of Fame around (the
court). So, we were playing
with all the plaques of the
players who have been in-
ducted to the Hall of Fame.
After practice, the boys had
a chance to view the exhibits
in the Hall of Fame.
It was a real learning ex-
perience, because you look at
all the history. Its pretty
cool, said center Stephen
Miller.
It was really cool getting
to learn the history of how
basketball started, said
Sweppenheiser. I liked see-
ing the Michael Jordan stuff.
They had a big exhibit on
him and that was cool.
In addition to the educa-
tional value, the trip also
gave this years Lions team a
chance to get to know one
another and bond as a team.
With the New York trip,
everyone sits on the bus and
goes down and everyone is
kind of in their own group.
But with this, we were all in
a hotel together, so I think it
was more like team bond-
ing, said Sweppenheiser.
Everyone mixed in with
everyone. We wouldnt nor-
mally have hung out with the
freshmen as much as we did
down there. It was a good
team-bonding trip overall.
The Lions are hoping that
team bonding will equal
success on the court, as they
start their season on Friday,
Dec. 9 when they take on
Tunkhannock on the road.

title last season. Seniors
Steve Miller, Matt Lochen
and Lyle Sweppenhieser

Nick Sujkowski and sopho-

We hope that we have a

Kettel said. Its a well-

tough game.
Admission to the event is

The only impact these

indication of which teams
are the strongest at the start
of the season and giving the
other potential contenders a
lesson in what they need to
improve on to be a factor.

are allowed to play games in
the winter sports season,
two games will match the
top boys basketball teams
from different divisions
against each other.
District 2s defending
champions in the top two
classifications will meet
when Class AAAA cham-
pion Scranton hosts Class
AAA champion Holy Re-
deemer Friday night. Both
also won regular-season
titles, the Knights in Divi-
sion 1 of the Lackawanna
League and the Royals in
Division 2 of the Wyoming
Valley Conference.
Two division leaders meet
at Riverside. The Division 2
champion Vikings, who also
won a District 2 Class AA
championship, host Mon-
trose, which had the best
record in Division 3 but
came up short of a title
through playoffs in the
leagues half-season system.
All three Lackawanna
League powers have key
players returning.
Terry Turner, Malik Drap-
er and Karlon Quiller lead a
loaded Scranton lineup that
has the potential to become
one of the strongest teams
the league has ever pro-
duced.
Scoring leader Jerry Kin-
cel returns at Riverside,
which was eliminated with a
one-point loss to powerful
Communications Tech in
the second round of the
state tournament.
Colby Major is back at
Montrose.
The games at Scranton
and Riverside are not the
only interesting openers.
On the same night, Holy
Cross is at Abington
Heights in an opener that
annually matches two of the
Lackawanna Leagues top
teams. The Crusaders won
the first-half title in Divi-
sion 2 last season when
Abington Heights tied for
second place in the second
half in Division 1.
Scranton and Holy Cross
are facing the tough 1-2
punch of following up a
Friday night opener with a
Saturday afternoon game.
After playing Holy Re-
deemer in the opener,
Scranton will come back
against Pocono Mountain
West. Last season, when the
Knights lost only two other
games by two points in
overtime and by four points
Pocono Mountain West
ripped Scranton, 71-49, in
the same situation.
Holy Cross is home Sat-
urday against defending
Division 3 champion Lacka-
wanna Trail, which won the
first-half title in Division 3
last season. Holy Cross ju-
nior Josh Kosin, one of the
areas top big men, will be
put to the test against Lack-
awanna Trail 7-footer Steve
Miller.
The Crusaders have a
different challenge in the
opener trying to contain J.C.
Show, who averaged 15
points per game for Abing-
ton Heights as a freshman.
Lackawanna Trail is at
Tunkhannock Friday night
before taking on the Cru-
saders the next afternoon.
The girls have a high-
profile opener as well, al-
though West Scranton and
Dunmore will wait until
Dec. 11at 1:15 p.m. to open
their seasons.
The rare Sunday game
features teams that won
both division and district
titles.
West Scranton is trying to
replace heavy graduation
losses from its Lackawanna
Division 1 and District 2
Class AAA champions.
Dunmore will be without
four-year starter Ashley
Murray, but otherwise has
much of the lineup back
from a team that won Lack-
awanna Division 2 and Dis-
trict 2 Class AA titles on
the way to an appearance in
the state championship
game in State College.
The marquee openers will
not decide anything. They
will, however, give the best
possible preview of what
can be expected in the sea-
son ahead.
