‘Honorable man’ receives his due BY GERARD E. NOLAN Abington Journal Correspondent

ABINGTON JOURNAL/JASON RIEDMILLER

A flagpole at the Clarks Summit Fire Station, Bedford Street, was dedicated Sept. 17 in tribute to the former Clarks Summit Mayor Anthony ’Tony’ Perry. Perry, who died Dec. 11, 2002, served three terms as mayor of the borough.

flagpole dedication served as a testament to a past mayor’s legacy nearly 10 years after his death. Clarks Summit Mayor Anthony “Tony” Perry, who died in 2002, at 65, was remembered by friends and family in a Sept. 17 dedication ceremony at the Clarks Summit Fire Station on Bedford Street. Those who knew him recalled a public servant who was devoted to keeping residents safe and helping anyone in need. “Tony was a friend to many, and a genuine, good, honorable man who always lived up to his word,” said longtime friend Chris Calvey. “He did many kind deeds for area residents.”

“He basically was just a good citizen,” said Warren Watkins, who currently serves as secretary for the Clarks Summit Fire Company No. 1, but has served in a variety of roles over the years. “He would see things that he felt should be addressed and he would do it.” Sometimes Perry’s addressing of issues drew flak from critics, according to those who knew him. They described the mayor as unwavering in the face of criticism because he did what he thought was in the best interest of residents. Perry’s son, Scott Perry, 45, provided a glimpse into his father’s philosophy on public service. The elder Perry told his son, “Whatever

CLARKS SUMMIT- Jim Maria, Abington Heights Education Association President, thinks teacher negotiations are moving in the right direction. “I’m really encouraged by the recent negotiations that we’ve had and the way that we’ve been able to open up communications a little bit,” Maria said. “Hopefully, we can continue along that vein and come to some reasonable settlement.” Abington Heights Superintendent of Schools Dr. Michael Mahon concurred that talks have intensified. “Both sides are working very hard to try to come to a good solution,” he said. Maria voiced concern over problems that may emerge from public use of the high school track during school hours. “There’s a policy in the district that allows the public See Negotiations, Page 6

A holiday glow BY JOAN MEAD-MATSUI Abington Journal Correspondent

CLARKS SUMMIT- Turn your thoughts for a moment to an old-fashioned holiday card depicting small- town America blanketed in freshly fallen snow with holiday lights twinkling beneath a dusting of snowflakes. Less than a week after approaching members of her committee, Clarks Summit graphic designer, Ellen Beechko reported that they are excited and eager to get busy with a plan, already in the works, that will light up downtown Clarks Summit during the upcoming holiday season.

“I think this is going to be a win-win situation,” Beechko said, “There was a lot of controversy in the community about the lights last year. They weren’t complete. I’d like it (downtown Clarks Summit) to have the quaintness of an old Christmas card with a nostalgic feeling to it.” One idea under consideration includes installing tube lights to outline the buildings in the downtown area; Plan B is to go back to outlining the trees. “We are going back to the way the trees originally looked – doing the whole See Holiday, Page 7

Editor: I am a native of Northeastern Pa. and I know that one of the things that make our part of the country unique is the mining of Anthracite Coal and now natural gas. Also there are many manufacturers of equipment to service these industries located in N.E.PA, which employ thousands of people. I think we would all agree that these industries are vital to our region’s economy. My question to your readers is: how can they support President Obama’s pledge to destroy the coal industry? How can Vice President Joe Biden, who likes to cite his being a native son of this region and Senator Robert P. Casey Jr., a coal-cracker born

and raised, support this policy? How can unions that represent the miners, machinist and other associated trades encourage their members to vote for an administration whose policy will add more workers to the already too long unemployment lines? Is the Pennsylvania energy industry not big enough to save? Is there no room for coal in the plan to make America energy independent? I would appreciate hearing the opinions of your readers to help me understand why anyone would vote for a President, Vice President and Senator who are determined for our energy workers to lose their jobs.

Trail cleanup planned for National Public Lands Day The Lackawanna Heritage Valley National and State Heritage Area will celebrate annual National Public Lands Day with a cleanup event on the Scranton section of the Lackawanna River Heritage Trail Sept. 29.

Make skin ‘bee’have Use a homemade moisturizing honey exfoliating scrub for face and body, particularly during winter months when skin tends to be rough, dry, flaky and itchy. Kelly Baker, Everything Natural manager, whipped up a batch using natural and organic ingredients available at the Clarks Summit store and a recipe courtesy of Yahoo Contributor Elise Marie. To make the scrub: combine 4 cups of sugar, 1 cup organic honey, ¾ cups olive oil and ¼ cup jojoba oil in a large mixing bowl. Spoon the thick golden scrub directly into a glass jar or plastic container with a lid and be sure to keep the scrub nearby a sink, shower or bath. To apply, splash the skin with warm water, take a handful and rub and massage it over skin in a circular motion until exfoliated. Rinse with warm water and pat dry with a cotton towel.

eptember is National Honey Month and a perfect time to reap the benefits of this natural sweet gift produced by honey bees from the nectar of plants or secretions of living parts of plants. Catherine Barry, National Honey Board director of marketing, said of the versatility of honey, “One of life’s simplest pleasures is honey and it’s such a versatile ingredient that can easily transition from the kitchen to the gym to the bathroom vanity. Not only can honey be used for its culinary applications, but also as a cough suppressant, in a beauty routine and as an energy booster. Honey is also unique in its color and flavor profile, as there are more than 300 varietals of honey in the United States alone, each with a distinct flavor and color based on the floral source where the bees collect the nectar.” More good news from the board: honey contains naturally -flavored sugars, as well as trace enzymes,

minerals, vitamins and amino acids. “There’s a trick to eating comb honey,” said Ellen McGlynn, Clarks Summit beekeeper and co-founder of Lackawanna Backyard Beekeepers. “You can’t just put it (honeycomb) on bread and enjoy it the in the same way you would enjoy cheese, because the wax in comb honey does get stuck on your teeth.” She recommended cutting the honey in small bite- size squares and spreading it on a whole grain cracker. Try a cracker with a hint of salt and caraway for a blend of salty-

sweet, she said. McGlynn is in her third season of beekeeping on her property. Currently, she has eight hives . “During the spring, that may include adjuga, apples, blueberries, honeysuckle, wild mustard and brambles. The summer honey may include blackberries, sumac, clover, wild roses, coneflower, milkweed and various asters.” Said McGlynn, “Goldenrod is the largest single floral source in my yard. Goldenrod is the honey of choice for mead makers.”

According to Beekeeper Ellen McGlynn, some nectar -producing plants in Northeast Pa. capable of producing distinct monofloral honeys are: Black locust (spring), clear/white and very sweet, similar to corn syrup in taste, color and texture. A substitute for recipes that call for corn syrup. White clover (summer), large honey producers aim for when blending honeys from around the world for generic sale; Clover honey, classic table honey, amber in color with a delicately rich flavor. Japanese knotweed (late summer), dark amber with a reddish hue. Similar to molasses, only less bitter and lighter in texture. Perfect for fall dishes like sweet potatoes. Goldenrod (late summer/early fall), McGlynn’s personal favorite, amber in color with a warm, butterscotch flavor.

SOUTH ABINGTON TWP. The South Abington Zoning Board denied a Pennsylvania American Water Company request Sept. 19 for approval to build a new water pump station within the township. The pump station, which would be built next to one currently on site, would be constructed as part of the installation of a public water system for those affected by contamination from the Ivy Industrial Park. The board felt the water company failed to satisfy the requirements governing the granting of a variance—or special exception—for this property on Griffin Pond Road. The water company representatives said they did not want to postpone the issue further after the board offered to revisit the issue at later. PAWC Attorney Ed Neyhart claimed the company had gone to greater lengths to accommodate the township than necessary. “Our project conforms with the ordinance,” he said. “I will not agree to make it one building because I don’t absolutely know what the feasibility is,” he said. South Abington Twp. resident Mark Steckiel spoke out against the project during public comment. He said 17 property owners had attached their names to a letter objecting to the water company’s plans. “We just do not want this facility in our neighborhood,” Steckiel said. Pennsylvania American Water can appeal the board’s decision in Lackawanna County Court.

Land use discussed BY ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER

RANSOM TWP. - At its meeting Sept. 17, the Ransom Township Planning Commission discussed correspondence from members of the Brenneman family, who wish to purchase land on Newton Ransom Boulevard for recreational use. According to Zoning Officer Bob Lukiewicz, they wish to periodically park a recreational vehicle for weekend use. Lukiewicz said if the vehicle is parked on the property for more than 180 consecutive days, it will be considered a permanent structure and subject to different guidelines.

‘Service before self’ BY KASEY LYNN Abington Journal Correspondent

U.S. Air Force recruits and recruiters donated time to some furry friends at the Griffin Pond Animal Shelter in South Abington Twp. They walked about 30 dogs of all breeds and sizes. This is not the first time the Air Force has donated time to the community. “Every month recruits who are preparing to leave for Air Force Basic Military Training join together to volunteer in the community. Sometimes we work at the Ronald McDonald House, Red Cross, 5Ks, disabled veterans homes, etc.,” said Staff Sgt. Timothy Drolet, a local Air Force Recruiter for Lackawanna and Susquehanna counties.

There is a reason behind all the community service, Staff Sgt. Drolet said. “While active in the Air Force, we typically volunteer monthly. I would like to show them what the Air Force is going to be like,” he said. He ex-

plained that it is important for Staff Sgt. Timothy Drolet, Local Enlisted Recruiter at the Ice Box Complex in Scranton, volunteers at the Griffin Pond Animal Shelter with Jada, shelter dog.

recruits to become active in the community early on because it takes six to nine months to join the Air Force and afterward the Air Force encourages a lot of community service. “The second core value of the Air Force is service before self and we intend to live up to that value,” Drolet said. In the past three months, the local recruits have been busy with the Red Cross, Ronald McDonald House in Scranton and the Scranton Police 5K for the K9 Unit. The local Air Force recruits and recruiters spend a great deal of time out in the community lending helping hands.

he holiday gift -giving season is around the corner, and for those creative types who prefer to give handmade gifts the Abington Area Community Classroom is offering “Make & Take” classes as part of the fall lineup. Among the choices that will help to get you motivated to create are “Have You Ever FELT Like This Before?” with wool gatherer, Emily Rancier, who will teach attendees to create a small felt purse using a technique known as “wool roving,” Tues., Oct. 9 and 16, 6:30 p.m. at Clarks Green United Methodist Church, 119 Glenburn Road. She will teach “Silk Scarf Art” with Gwen Harlemen, director of the Verve Vertu Art Studio in Wilkes-Barre, Oct. 18, 6:30 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church of Clarks Summit, 300 School Street. To create felt, Rancier uses a technique that has been practiced for thousands of years using water, soap and agitation, referred to as “wet felting.” She explained, “I enjoy the felting process because it is always surprising. Things happen. It’s magical how a wooly mass can transform beneath your fingers into an authentic fabric, whether it is stiff and thick or light as air. And it’s lots of fun to make a design with silk fibers, yarns, glitz, pieces of fabric and prefelts - the list is endless for what you can try.” To make the purse, participants will use a resist, or a

to come up to the high school and have access to the track, and that’s a wonderful thing except when it overlaps with the physical education classes,” he said. “In the middle of a class, members of the public are essentially mingling with those classes. I have a fear that opens up the district to liability and my responsibility is to the teachers. I wanted to bring it to your attention that we have people who have no clearances in the midst of our students. I hope the policy would be revisited to see if that is a reasonable thing.” The school board has two students representatives this year, Rebecca Fallk, a member of student council, marching band, FBLA, mock trail and Interact and T.J. Murray, student council vice president, public relations officer Interact club, member of SADD club, national honor society, and football, basketball teams.

The past two years, Abington Heights produced a winner at the district level. This year’s national winner will receive a cash benefit of $30,000.” Gerard Hetman, Lackawanna Country Department of Community relations announced that Barbara Giovagnoli, from the county Office of Environmental Sustainability has asked his office to work on a project called Lackawanna County Greensylvania school paper competition, a recycling contest to see which school district in the area can recycle the most.

As part of the proposed plan, the clock tower would be decorated in multi-colored lights, making it a focal point in the hub of the downtown area.” Committee members are in the process of contacting building landlords for permission to move ahead. “We all want it to happen,” she said. “…And we’re trying to come up with something low maintenance.” According to Beechko, to date, the committee has commitments from Everything Natural, Lawrence E. Young Funeral Home, O’Boyle Real Estate, Beta Bread, The Moore Building, Petco building, Gerrie Carey building and Our Lady of the Snows Church and Rectory. Beechko and her committee are seeking help from the community in the form of monetary donations, additional volunteers and residents or individuals to adopt a vacant building. “My goal is to put a committee together involving the whole community - as possibly adopting a building that’s vacant…. We can raise to money to buy the lights, and we are given a discount on power from PP&L…. We don’t want this to be a big burden on anyone; we’d like to have volunteers of all ages and occupations involved.” She added, “We have some people who have come forward, Architect, Kuni Matsui and Highland Associates, who will measure buildings and want to help with the design, and we’re looking for any groups that would like to help line the buildings with lights. A representative from Walsh Electrical Associates will meet with Virginia Kehoe to determine if power is sufficient for all of the buildings. Gerrie Carey, Clarks Summit Borough President and committee member said, “What we want is for people to come forward - anybody who has any interest in helping with lighting up of Clarks Summit. The lights will be left up permanently and will be available for special occasions such as the Ice Festival.” Meetings will be held on Tuesdays, 9:30 a.m. at the Clarks Summit Borough Building. For more information, contact Ellen Beechko at 947.2847. The lighting of the town is scheduled for Nov.15.

Parishes unite for Year of Faith sessions

Expansion in Justus

BY KASEY LYNN Abington Journal Correspondent

BY ROBERT TOMKAVAGE [email protected]

CLARKS SUMMIT- The parishes of Our Lady of the Snows in Clarks Summit and Church of Saint Gregory in Clarks Green will host an Adult Faith Formation Series celebrating the Year of Faith throughout the Universal Church. The Holy Father Pope Benedict issued a year of faith to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council, a landmark in the history of the church. The Year of Faith emphasizes self discovery and a new call to the evangelical, who and what the church is and the church’s identity to the world. “The Year of Faith is an opportunity for us to deepen our faith and to further integrate the Catholic faith into our daily lives,” said Rev. Jeffrey D. Tudgay. The Year of Faith extends from October 2012 to November 2013. The parishes of Our Lady of the Snows and Church of Saint Gregory will host four series sessions throughout the year as their part in the sharing of the celebration of the Year of Faith. Each session will focus on one of the four major documents of the Second Vatican Council. Rev. Tudgay said that the Faith Formation sessions coincide with Bishop Joseph Bambera calling for a calling for the deep adult faith in catechesis.

JUSTUS - According to Brian Mushel, store manager at Justus True Value Home and Garden, the key to the store’s success is simple. “Our service is second to none,” he said. “We take care of our customers.” The store, which has been at its current location since 1989, is in the process of its second expansion. The business added more than 3,000 square feet to its retail location. The project began in May and will conclude with a grand re-opening in October. Each current department will be expanded and sections devoted to farm, horse and pet supplies will be added. “We never had the knowledge of it and we have horse farms all around us,” Mushel said. “People started asking us to carry certain things. We were looking for things that we can carry that the big stores like Lowe’s and Home Depot don’t have. “It all goes back to service. If we just filled our shelves and were a self -serve business, we wouldn’t be here. We love taking care of our customers, that’s why we’re still here.” Mushel, 34, of Justus, has served as manager for 12 years

Dr. Louis J. Giordano September 17, 2012

Dr. Louis J. Giordano, 71, from Clarks Summit, died in his sleep on Sept. 17 at Mountain View Care Center following a brief illness. Born in Throop to the late Louis and Vera (Mancini) Giordano, Louis graduated from Scranton Preparatory School with the class of 1959. He graduated from The University of Scranton and then received his dental training at Temple University Dental School. He served as a Captain in the U.S. Air Force and was stationed in Plattsburg, New York in the late 1960s. Following his service in the Air Force, Louis started his dental practice in Dunmore. He remained a fixture in Dunmore and the dental community for over 40 years. He loved his work and was one of a select few to earn his post doctorate master’s degree in dentistry. As much as he loved his work, he truly enjoyed the great relationships he developed with his patients throughout his career. He was a devoted father to his three children, serving as an assistant coach for many of their sports teams. He served as the President of the board of the Humane Society of Lackawanna County and was a driving force for the North East chapter of the Antique Automobile Association. His hobbies and interests were many and diverse; he was a wine maker, golfer, pilot, train collector, antique car owner, Philadelphia sports fan, avid reader, dancer and gardener. He will be greatly missed by the hundreds of people who had the pleasure to know him. He is survived by his children and former wife Pamela Giordano, son Louis III; two daughters Mrs. Jill Blom and Mrs. Amanda Martino; sister Mary Reilly; two grandchildren Sean and Clara; many nieces and nephews and countless close friends, including his "angel" Patricia Emerick.

Dalton to plow roads BY BEN FREDA Abington Journal Correspondent

DALTON - At the Dalton Borough Council meeting, Sept. 13, President Bill Salva mentioned that he received an agreement from PennDOT for Dalton to plow roads for the next five years, including Turnpike Road, West Main Street and Bank Street. Salva also recited the pay from the agreement: $4,779 for the first year; $4,841.15 for the second year; $4,962.15 for the third; $5,130.86 for the fourth and $11,446.97 for the fifth year. Said Salva, “It worked out in our favor in the past.” Salva said Dalton’s current plow truck is leaking hydraulics. He said that the cost of repair is more than $20,000. He said that the board received a $22,500 price on a different truck, a 1999 International S2500 aluminum dump truck, DT466, from Penn-Hazle Equipment, Inc. “We have to put the old truck out to bid,” said Salva. “We’re hoping we can get back in return from it at least $8 to $10,000, which would bring this truck (the 1999 International) more in the $12,000 area.” Board member Lorraine Daniels reviewed the capital reserve account and said that the board currently has $3,484. The board approved the motion to move forward in obtaining the truck.

CLARKS GREENRepresentatives from Courthouse Square Ventures gave presentations for their plans for the building on 319 North Abington Road that currently holds law offices at this month’s meeting of the Clarks Green Borough Council Sept. 12 at the Borough building. Engineer, Robert Naegele and architect, Jim Rodgers presented the plans for the two buildings on the property and the plans to rent out the rooms as doctor’s offices once the building at the front is rebuilt and the basement filled in to remedy water problems, Rogers explained. “It will be the same building, just refreshed,” Naegele said . The building in the back will undergo an inside renovation. They plan to replace blacktop in the back parking lot with a retention pond that will serve as a water garden to control storm water runoff. Naegele said that current drivewayswill not be altered. Courthouse Square Ventures presented their initial plan to the Clarks Green

Planning Committee and will represent the plans to the committee before council takes action. Jim Kane from the Abington Area Joint Recreation Board (AAJRB) addressed council about the contract with the company Field Turf and the work on the soccer field. Originally, Council had approved the contract for Field Turf to install Astroturf on the soccer field while other projects would be bid out to other companies.

Council voted six to one to approve the change orders to the Field Turf contract.

f the sight of acemetery at night sends a chill up your spine, if the poetry of Emily Dickinson brings tears to your eyes and if the stories of lives long past give you a haunting sense of excitement, the Dunmore Cemetery Tour may be a perfect highlight to your weekend Oct. 7 or 14. The tour, which is a recipient of a Lackawanna County Arts and Culture Grant, will be presented by the Dearly Departed Players beginning both days at the cemetery gates, 400 Church St, Dunmore at 2 p.m. Costumed characters will be in place at several stops throughout the cemetery. Although the event is now in its

ninth year under the Dearly Departed Players, this year is an all new tour with new stops, new stories from the past, new costumes and new exhibits, according to Julie Esty, Artistic Director for the Players. The Dearly Departed Players consists of 14 Lackawanna County residents, ranging from ages 11-85, each of whom Esty said brings their own unique talents to the group. “When you combine our talents,” she said, “we are quite a force. It’s kind of like stars collided or the planets lined up and brought this group of people together in the cemetery. We’ve become like a family

and a well -oiled machine. We work together and even though we have a lot of fun, we get the job done.” Esty said the tour isn’t something that happens overnight, but rather the group works on it year round. From the research, to the costumes, to the rehearsals and all the other aspects , the group works hard to put it all together. The event also includes exhibits and poetry readings (including the works of various poets such as Emily Dickinson and Edward Gorey) starting 30 minutes before the tour each night, as well as a performance See Force, Page 11

Woods Wilson finds inspiration within. “I make art because there is a screaming creative beast inside me that won’t stop until I sit down and make something,” Woods Wilson said. Both artists want to continue to grow as artists and use their skills to earn a living. Their primary motivation, however, is to create for its own sake. “I want to paint no matter where I end up,” Jackson said. “I hope to continue to find quiet

moments to create art,” Woods Wilson said. The exhibit, called “Two Artists from Lake Winola,” will open at the Courthouse Gallery, 1 Courthouse Square, Tunkhannock, with an opening reception Sept. 28 from 4 to 6 p.m. The Gallery is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. The show runs through Oct. 19. For more information on Jackson’s art, see his profiles on Etsy.com and Fineartamerica.com.

How many films are being featured in the Dietrich’s Fall 2012 Film Festival?

Last week at the Dietrich, over 150 audience members went on a journey back in time with a radio drama and music about the Lattimer Massacre of1897, which occurred near Hazleton. I feel that both Van Wagner’s song and Bill Bachman’s radio piece truly captured this event, which pitted coal company owners, the sheriff of Luzerne County and striking miners against each over with deadly consequences. So much of what we learned about Lattimer is still relevant to our world today from miscarriages of justice to our treatment of immigrant laborers. It was great to hear audience members share their families’ coal mining histories during the discussion segment of the presentation. We would like to thank the Pennsylvania Humanities Council for underwriting this event. In addition to our region’s rich coal mining history, this area also has a strong heritage in quilting. Join us for Tunkhannock’s11th Annual Airing of the Quilts on Saturday, Oct. 6. I am telling you downtown Tunkhannock is a sight to behold draped in hundreds of colorful quilts. On Airing of the Quilts day, you could just spend hours walking up and down Tioga Street viewing all of the quilted creations. At the Dietrich, we will be exhibiting Kent Ward’s collection of scrap quilts. They are absolutely gorgeous! Plus we will be presenting a quilt lecture with fiber artist and quilt designer Joyce Hughes. She will tell her personal story of her journey into quilting. She will also speak about her quilting inspirations. Joyce is currently a finalist in McCall’s quilt design contest. Tickets to the presentation will be $5 each and her handbags and other designs will be for sale before and after her presentation. Tickets can be reserved by calling 570.996.1500 or they can be picked up at the door while they last. Coming up in October, the Dietrich Theater will be kicking off its new season of the “Golden Days of Radio Players.” This free class taught by Esther Harmatz and Hoyt Keiser will take you back to those thrilling days of radio. If you have ever wondered how sound effects were made, or wondered how it feels to stand in front of a microphone and read the lines of a hero or a villain, then this class is for you. Classes will be held on Tuesdays, Oct. 2 through Dec. 4 from 7 to 9 p.m. The class will culminate with a live performance for the public Dec. 4. Sounds like fun. Right?

Snacking on pot-boiler fare can make you sick or satisfied. I have nothing against writers who churn out what is often contemptuously termed “airport pot-boilers,” those paperbacks we pluck from airport news stands and supermarket racks. Just because some authors are inhumanly prolific does not necessarily mean they’re bad writers, but it also doesn’t guarantee they’re good ones, either. For example, two writers, John Sandford and J.D. Robb, have cooked up police procedural series that have much in common, except that Sandford’s “Prey” books leave me hungry for more, while

Robb’s “In Death” novels make me reach for the Alka Seltzer. Sandford’s and Robb’s series have some eerie similarities: Both writers publish under pseudonyms. John Sandford is the pen name of John Roswell Camp, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, while J.D. Robb is the alias of Nora Roberts (nee Eleanor Robertson), the popular romance writer. The protagonists of their series are wealthy, married detectives who specialize in cracking heinous murder cases. Robb’s Eve Dallas lives in a New York City some 50 years in the future,

while Sandford’s Lucas Davenport is firmly rooted in the present in Minnesota. I like to think I have a castiron stomach when it comes to gulping up pot-boilers, but I have to admit I’ve only read two of Robb’s “In Death” books. Frankly, I just couldn’t choke down any more. I suppose the main reason is that while Robb’s concept for a futuristic police procedural is filled with promise, her books in this series are really thinly disguised romance novels -- my least favorite genre. The protagonist, Lieutenant Eve Dallas, appears to be a tough, no-nonsense cop, but she’s perfectly willing to have her hunky, unbelievably perfect, filthy rich husband run interference for her, decide what she’ll wear, and produce miraculous meals from their AutoChef machine. They manage to spend a great deal of time in the sack, where a mere look from hubby can send Eve into paroxysms of ecstasy. They never fight. Gag. All this might be palatable if the writing was any good, but it’s filled with clichés, stilted dialogue, suspiciously convenient “discoveries,” and static, cookie-cutter characters. The

plots are so slow moving and repetitive that I found myself muttering, “Please, please, get ON with it, already!” All this is topped off by a heroine who is hard to like. She’s beautiful, of course, and good at her job, but except in her relationship with Roark, she’s a cold fish – closed off, terse, and without much in the way of compassion or kindness. At the opposite end of the spectrum, we have Sandford’s Lucas Davenport. He, too, is wealthier than any cop who’s not on the take, having made a killing by developing role-playing games for both popular consumption and police training. Lucas is a big man, with rough good looks moderated by several scars, one of which he acquires when Weather Karkinnen, a surgeon he will later marry, performs an emergency tracheotomy on him after he’s been shot. He loves breaking the speed limit in his Porsche, wearing designer duds and spending what little free time he has with his family, which includes baby Sam and Letty, a young girl they adopt after her alcoholic mother is killed in one of the books. He also has strong relationships

with his boss and some of the detectives who join him in hunting down killer after killer. However, while Lucas is a devoted husband, father, and friend, he has a darker side. He sometimes suffers from crippling bouts of depression, and part of him enjoys violence. He gets in trouble regularly because he plays by his own rules, but he has good instincts and isn’t afraid to follow them. He is also appealingly aware of his own inadequacies. In short, he’s very human. In addition to creating interesting, multi-faceted, and thoroughly believable characters we can’t help but care about, Sandford is a real craftsman as a writer. His plots are ingenious, his dialogue is very realistic, funny, (and often pretty raunchy), and his descriptions are vivid and evoke the settings he clearly knows very well. Throughout the series, we become intimate with the geography of the Twin Cities, and are treated to wonderful portraits of the land and weather of Minnesota. The only qualm I sometimes have with the “Prey” novels is that they are very violent, and the killers are often twisted in stomach-turn-

midway through the tour by the Scranton Civic Ballet under the direction of Helen Gaus. Esty said last year the dancers performed a piece in memory of the children who worked and died in mills and mines. “This year,” she said, “the students will dance in memory of the dance teachers who are buried in Dunmore and elsewhere who were here in Scranton—Alexi Ramov, Marie Shunk, Constance Reynolds, Jimmy Sutton, J.F. Siegel—just to name a few.” She added, “Helen Gaus does amazing work. Her students are fabulous and we are happy to have them join us again.” Exhibitors include: Tom Costello, who will exhibit the embossing works of his ancestor P.W. Costello; Ed Snyder, a cemetery photographer from Philadelphia and Dorothy Loney, of Scranton, who travels all over photographing famous graves. The Genealogical Research Society of NEPA will be on hand with information for those wishing to find out about their ancestors or preserve their family history. An “After Funeral Dinner” sponsored by the Dunmore Historical Society will also be held immediately following the tour Oct. 7. It will be held at the Dunmore Civic Center on Monroe Avenue, and includes ham, mashed potatoes, a vegetable, cake, coffee and soda. The cost of the dinner is $8 and all proceeds benefit the historical society. “We discovered a lot of people were hungry after the tour,” Esty said, “so they can go afterward and have a decent meal and the Dearly Departed Players will be there chatting it up and answering questions.” More information can be found at the Dearly Departed Players’ Facebook page or by calling 570.558.1060. ing ways. Regardless, Sanford is a master of suspense. Sometimes the suspense is due to the fact that we know the identity of the killer long before the police do; at other times, we are guessing right along with the detectives. No matter what plot device he uses, it’s clear that Sandford really understands the genre, and as a reader, it’s comforting to be in the hands of a real pro. I realize that J.D. Robb’s fans are legion, and that some of them will want to stone me for not being able to stomach her “In Death” series, and that John Sandford’s “Prey” series won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. If you feel the need to lap up gruel that doesn’t require any digestive effort on your part, J.D. Robb’s pot-boilers are perfect fare. However, if you like an easy read that has a little more meat on its bones, put John Sandford’s books on your menu.

Lions run past Wildcats

BY CORY BURRELL Abington Journal Correspondent

FACTORYVILLE – Lackawanna Trail High School’s dominating start to the season shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. The Lions tallied 580 yards on offense to blow by Western Wayne 4621 Sept. 21 and keep the Lions’ season perfect. Trail went with its usual run-heavy attack. Senior Jeremy Greenley ran for two touchdowns and led the team with 139 yards. Fellow senior Pete Murazzi added a touchdown and 132 of the Lions’ 375 rushing yards. Along with the ground game, senior quarterback Zach Goodrich was the model of effi-

the ball right down on them,” Murazzi said. “Then when they get tired we’re gonna throw on them. You can’t stop us. We’re gonna do anything to get the ball in the endzone.” Western Wayne showed some fight early. After Greenley broke a 56-yard touchdown run in the opening minutes of the game, Western Wayne senior Robbie Siclari answered back with a 61-yard touchdown of his own. Because of the Lions’ failed point-after attempt, the Wildcats took an early 7-6 lead. The Lions immediately answered back, finishing a quick drive with a short rushing touchdown by Zedar.

ciency, completing seven of his 10 passes for 156 yards, including a 59-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter to sophomore Liam Dougherty. Dougherty also caught a 49-yard touchdown pass from junior running back Jonathon Zedar and ended the night with 123 receiving yards. “The play action just killed them,” Goodrich said. “My line protected me really well and it just opened up the plays.” Murazzi said the balanced big-play threat shown by both the passing and running game makes the Lions’ offense tough to stop. “We’ve trained so hard, we want to pound

Another long touchdown, this time from Murazzi, put the Lions ahead 21-7 at the end of the first quarter. Trail continued to pound Western Wayne, scoring 34 unanswered points before the Wildcats managed to score again off a 44-yard run from Siclari. Siclari ended the night with 186 yards from the line of scrimmage and two touchdowns. Senior Cameron Chism-Brungard scored another touchdown for Western Wayne in the fourth quarter, but it was not enough to overcome the massive lead the Lions built. Western Wayne had

net, which when wet, can weigh as much as 400 pounds, not including the weight of the fish. The bait used in the commission’s nets consists of cheese trimmings, soy and molasses. Wnuk said, “It’s a pretty simple device…and I’ve caught as many as 30,000 fish in a single net. So when there are a lot of fish, they catch a lot of fish. They work very well.” Channel Catfish are stocked once per year and plans are to stock in the next few weeks. “I request 3,000 fingerlings (2 inches) per year,” said Wnuk. “The number we get is variable based on hatchery conditions. Over the last 10 years, the lake has averaged 2,738 fingerlings per year.” To learn more about fish stocking by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, visit fish.state.pa.us.

Warriors down Comets BY ROBERT TOMKAVAGE

MILFORD- Delaware Valley senior quarterback Brian Schor showed why several Division I college football programs, including Miami University in Ohio where he will enroll next fall, wanted him to join their team. He led a 10-play 74yard drive in the fourth quarter Sept. 22, after Abington Heights had pulled to within one touchdown. After getting sacked for an 11- yard loss, Schor connected with wide receiver Eric Pizarro for a 38- yard completion. Schor also rushed for 26 yards on the drive, including a 5-yard touchdown run with 5:53 left in the game to give the Warriors a 27-14 lead. “It was just at the time of the game where I had to make something happen and I ended up making a good

hile Robert T. Wnuk, area fisheries manager for the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, noted there are many thousands of Bullhead Catfish in Lake Lackawanna at Lackawanna State Park, only one Channel Catfish was found as part of the commission’s scheduled catfish survey on the lake Sept. 19. “We’re out here looking at the Channel Catfish today. It’s a species that doesn’t reproduce naturally in this lake, so we stock them. When we stock fish like that, it does cost money to raise them and put them in the lakes, so we like to make sure it’s working…that we’re getting a return for all of the money we’ve spent,” he said. “Only one catfish was caught in all the nets combined.” The survey event allowed biologists an opportunity to determine the success of previously stocked juvenile catfish and natural reproduction in that lake, and the public was invited to the demonstration of catfish sampling methods to observe staff in action and learn more about catfish and other fish species in the lake. The commission wants to see more of the Channel Catfish due to a demand for them. “Anglers love to catch them. They get very big – up to 35 to 40 pounds. They’re a very popular sport fish, ” said Wnuk. A Pennsylvania style trap

play,” Schor said. “We said ‘We have to buckle down and get one in the end zone’ and that’s how we won the game.’” Delaware Valley sophomore linebacker Matt Wagner set the tone early when he intercepted a pass from Abington Heights quarterback Dante Pasqualichio and returned it 32 yards for a touchdown. After Brendan Paulison’s extra point, the Warriors led 7-0 less than in minute into the game. The Warriors were threatening again on the next drive, but Comets’ linebacker Drew Kuzma intercepted a Schor pass at the Abington Heights 14-yard line.

Delaware Valley running back Joe Santiago, who finished the game with 129 yards on 18 carries, scored his first of two touchdowns on a 34-yard run with 8:00 left in the second quarter. On the ensuing drive, Abington Heights drove the ball down to the Warriors’ 12-yard line, but Pasqualichio was intercepted by linebacker Connor Decker ending the threat. Delaware Valley was unable to convert the turnover into points as Paulison’s missed a 40-yard field goal attempt. Delaware Valley started the second half just as they See Comets, Page 14

The Oneonta State field hockey team, with Abington Heights High School graduate Bridgette Robinson serving as captain, is on top of the State University of New York Athletic Conference standings after a breakthrough victory Sept. 21. Oneonta allowed just seven shots during a 1-0 victory for its first win over Cortland State in 23 meetings since 1992. Cortland has won 14 of the 15 SUNYAC championships and has won three national championships since the last time it had lost to Oneonta. Robinson played the entire Cortland game as a defensive midfielder, helping limit the defending conference champions to two shots and one penalty corner in the first half. Oneonta followed up the milestone win by allowing only two shots, none in the second half, of a 6-1 romp over Oswego State Saturday. Robinson played all but the final 10:35 when the game was in hand. The Red Dragons lead the SUNYAC at 3-0. They are 6-2 overall, including 2-2 in games against teams that have been ranked in the top 20 this season. Oneonta has won three straight, outscoring league competition, 11-1, since a 3-2, doubleovertime loss to sixth-ranked Skidmore, which shares the nation’s best record at 8-0.Oneonta gained votes in the coaches’ national Division III Top 20 poll last week and moved into position to potentially join the rankings this week.

Scranton Tennis Club crowns champs The rain was annoying, but did not stop play in the annual Labor Day Blind Draw tennis tournament at the Scranton Tennis Club. A total of 50 club members took part in the round robin style event. Champions in the Mixed Doubles event were Howard Conrad and Cierra Beck, who defeated Joe and Diane Bailey in the final. Conrad and Beck, who each finished as runner up in his/her respective Club Championship doubles event, used Beck’s solid ground strokes and Conrad’s speed and volleying to knock off the husband-wife team, who were runners up in the STC mixed doubles event last month. To reach the final, Beck and Conrad eliminated the brother-sister team of Terry and Jennifer Briggs, while the Baileys edged Tim Aikman and Ann Conrad. In the Men’s Doubles Division Bob Cullen and Joe Vinson were the champions, winning the decisive match against Joe DeOrio and Ken Strauss. Morey Moritz and John Azzarelli finished one point behind the DeOrioStrauss team to finish in third place.

Western Wayne’s record now stands at 1-2. All four of Lackawanna Trails’ wins have been by at least 22 points. Despite the large margins of victory, Jervis

said the team must look past the wins and prepare for the work that lies ahead. “ I always tell our kids a football season is a marathon, not a sprint,” Jervis said. “You enjoy the win, [but] we’ll be right back to work on Monday.” Lackawanna Trail’s next game will take place on the road 7 p.m. Friday against Mid Valley.

They’re physical, they run it very well and have great team speed.” Lucas Markowitz, who caught six passes for 82 yards, added a 30-yard interception return for a touchdown. Warriors’ defensive back Kyle Clark sealed the win when he intercepted Pasqualichio with 1:26 remaining in the game. Clark also picked up 26 yards on a fake punt earlier in the game.

Knights top Cavaliers OBITUARY [email protected]

SCRANTON- Scranton High School used a balanced offensive attack and opportunistic defense to defeat Scranton Prep, 43-21, in a Lackawanna League Division I football contest at Scranton Memorial Stadium Sept. 21. Scranton sophomore running back Jake McCarthy finished the game with 173 yards on 20 carries and three touchdowns. Knights quarterback Marlinn Waiters completed 7 of 14 passes for 186 yards and two touchdowns. Scranton Prep took an early 7-0 lead when running back Marshall Kupinski capped off a four-play 59-yard drive with a 10-yard touchdown run with 8:49 left in the first quarter. Kupinski gained 91 yards on 21 carries. Scranton came back with a scoring drive of its own when Waiters connected with Jim McNally on a 14-yard touchdown to end a five-play 64yard drive. McCarthy found Matt Gorton on a halfback pass for the two-point conversion and the Knights led 8-7 with 6:17 remaining in the first quarter. “The kids responded very well,” Scranton head coach Mike Marichak said. “They never give up, and we have some big play kids like Jake (McCarthy) and Karlon (Quiller).” The Knights momentum continued when linebacker Mike Conrad intercepted Cavaliers quarterback Griff DiBileo at midfield. On the next play, Waiters connected with Karlon Quiller on a 45-yard completion when Quiller snatched the ball away from a Prep defender. McCarthy capped the short two-play drive with a 5-yard

Carleton A. Connell Jr.

BY ROBERT TOMKAVAGE

August 25, 2012

Carleton A. Connell Jr. of Clarks Summit, died Aug. 25 after a brief illness. He was 90. His former wife, Margery (Lombard) Connell died in December 2001. “Skinner” as he was known to all, was the son of the late Carleton A. and Lydia T. Connell. He was born in Scranton and was a lifetime resident of the Abingtons. He graduated from the Fessenden School in West Newton, Mass., and The Hill School, Pottstown. He attended Lafayette College until the United States entered World War II, at which time he joined the U. S. Army Air Corps. He served in North Africa. Upon returning from the service, he worked for The Murray Company in Scranton prior to becoming General Manager of the Lackawanna Mills Paper Company. In 1952 he purchased Kucks Village Art and Frame Shop, located on Adams Avenue in Scranton. In 1955 he moved the business to Clarks Green, renamed it the Abington Frame Shop, and operated the business for 50 years until his retirement in 2005. Although Connell was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, fishing and golf, his greatest excitement and satisfaction came from listening and dancing to great music. Dixieland Jazz and the big band arrangements of his youth were his

touchdown run. Alvaro Fernandez added the extra point to give Scranton a 15-7advantage. DiBileo answered right back on the next drive with a 54-yard touchdown to Dan Ryan. Despite a missed extra point, the Cavaliers cut the deficit to 15-13. McCarthy found the end zone for the second time on a 27-yard run with 11:31 left in the second quarter. After Fernandez’s extra point, Scranton led 22-13. “Jake’s a very good athlete,” Marichak said. “If you give him a crease, he has the speed to break it and his vision is tremendous.” On the ensuing possession, the Knights defense forced Prep into a three-and-out. McCarthy scored for the final time on a 45-yard dash with 7:13 remaining in the second quarter, giving Scranton a 29-13 lead. “The defense stepped up when we needed them,” Marichak said. “(Prep) made

some big plays, but you’re gonna expect that out of them because they are a good football team. Our defense has kinda been bend, but don’t break and we came up with a couple good stops.” Scranton Prep put together a 12-play 86-yard drive that was capped by a Kupinski 8-yard touchdown run late in the second quarter. Jake Stafursky ran in the two-point conversion to pull the Cavaliers within 8 points at the end of the first half. After stuffing the Cavaliers on a fourth-and-one play from midfield on the first drive of the second half, Scranton extended its lead with Waiters scored on a 1-yard quarterback sneak. Quiller ended the scoring with a 22-yard diving, fingertip catch with less than a minute remaining in the third quarter. Quiller finished with five catches for 167 yards. Scranton Prep (3-1, 0-1) will host North PoconoSaturday afternoon.
