S
afety awareness is the
main theme of the up-
coming childrens event,
Safety4ALLKIDS Confer-
ence, organized by the Par-
ents Loving Children through
Autism Foundation (PLCTA)
in conjunction with the Dun-
more Fire Department. But,
According to PLCTA Founder
and President Kathleen Walsh,
safety is not the only goal.
Having fun is another big part.
We try to bring the training
in a fun, non-threatening way,
she said.
The free
bi-annual
event, now in its
fifth year, is to be
held at the Dunmore Commu-
nity Center Sept. 29 from
noon to 4 p.m. It will include
various stations for emergency
safety training, which will
accommodate children with
special needs. It is geared
toward children ages 3-13, but
is open to the public, accord-
ing to Walsh. The conference
will feature a variety of chil-
drens activities, such as a
bounce house, face painting,
crafts, food and prizes.
The Dunmore Fire Dept.
will prepare the Scranton Fire
Dept. Fire Safety House, a
two-level trailer which func-
tions as a house fire simulator
to give children hands-on
training and experience in
what to do in case of a fire.
Dunmore Fire Dept. Chief
Christopher DeNaples
said the Fire Safety House
is a good opportunity to
learn about
safety.
Anoth-
er oppor-
tunity at
the event for families who
have children with special
needs, such as those associ-
ated with Autism, will be a
signup for First Alert. The
program, run through the 911
system, notifies emergency
responders of special needs
before they arrive on scene.
Walsh said First Alert is
proven effective, and just one
way PLCTA is trying to make
the area a safer place to live
for children with Autism. A
lot of safety aspects must be
taken into consideration, she
said, and the Safety4ALL-
KIDS Conference attempts to
address as many as possible.
Walsh said she firmly be-
lieves knowledge is power,

CLARKS SUMMIT- Turn
your thoughts for a moment
to an old-fashioned holiday
card depicting small- town
America blanketed in freshly
fallen snowwith holiday
lights twinkling beneath a
dusting of snowflakes.
Less than a week after ap-
proaching 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 con-
troversy in the community
about the lights last year.
They werent complete. Id
like it (downtown Clarks
Summit) to have the quaint-
ness of an old Christmas card
with a nostalgic feeling to it.
One idea under consid-
eration includes installing
tube lights to outline the
buildings in the downtown
area; Plan Bis to go back to
outlining the trees.
We are going back to the
way the trees originally
looked doing the whole

Education Association Presi-

direction.
Im really encouraged by
the recent negotiations that
weve had and the way that
weve 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 Superin-

chael Mahon concurred that
talks have intensified.
Both sides are working
very hard to try to come to a
good solution, he said.

He basically was just a good citizen, said
Warren Watkins, who currently serves as
secretary for the Clarks Summit Fire Compa-

over the years. He would see things that he
felt should be addressed and he would do it.
Sometimes Perrys addressing of issues

EDITORS NOTE
Editor:
I ama native of Northeastern
Pa. and I knowthat one of the
things that make our part of the
country unique is the mining of
Anthracite Coal and nownat-
ural gas. Also there are many
manufacturers of equipment to
service these industries located
in N.E.PA, which employ thou-
sands of people. I think we
would all agree that these indus-
tries are vital to our regions
economy.
My question to your readers
is: howcan they support Presi-
dent Obamas pledge to destroy
the coal industry? Howcan 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?
Howcan 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 ener-
gy industry not big enough to
save? Is there no roomfor 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.

According to Beekeeper Ellen McGlynn, some nectar -producing plants in Northeast
Pa. capable of producing distinct monofloral honeys are:
Blacklocust (spring), clear/white and very sweet, similar to corn syrup in taste,
color and texture. Asubstitute for recipes that call for corn syrup.
Whiteclover (summer), large honey producers aimfor when blending honeys from
around the world for generic sale;
Clover honey, classic table honey, amber in color with a delicately rich flavor.
Japaneseknotweed(latesummer), dark amber with a reddish hue. Similar to molas-
ses, only less bitter and lighter in texture. Perfect for fall dishes like sweet potatoes.
Goldenrod(latesummer/earlyfall), McGlynns personal favorite, amber in color with
a warm, butterscotch flavor.
U.S. Air Force recruits and recrui-
ters 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 com-
munity. Every month recruits who
are preparing to leave for Air Force
Basic Military Training join together
to volunteer in the community. Some-
times we work at the Ronald McDo-
nald House, Red Cross, 5Ks, disabled
veterans homes, etc., said Staff Sgt.
Timothy Drolet, a local Air Force
Recruiter for Lackawanna and Sus-
quehanna 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
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 Scran-
ton Police 5K for the K9 Unit. The
local Air Force recruits and recrui-
ters spend a great deal of time out
in the community lending helping
hands.

SOUTHABINGTONTWP. -
The South Abington Zoning Board
denied a Pennsylvania American
Water Company request Sept. 19 for
approval to build a newwater 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
fromthe Ivy Industrial Park.
The board felt the water company
failed to satisfy the requirements
governing the granting of a varia-
nceor special exceptionfor this
property on Griffin Pond Road.
The water company representa-
tives said they did not want to post-
pone the issue further after the
board offered to revisit the issue at
later. PAWCAttorney 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
dont absolutely knowwhat the
feasibility is, he said.
South Abington Twp. resident
Mark Steckiel spoke out against the
project during public comment. He
said17 property owners had at-
tached their names to a letter ob-
jecting to the water companys
plans.
We just do not want this facility
in our neighborhood, Steckiel said.

he holiday gift
-giving season is
around the cor-
ner, and for those cre-
ative types who prefer to
give handmade gifts the
Abington Area Com-
munity Classroomis
offering Make &Take
classes as part of the fall
lineup.
Among the choices that
will help to get you motiva-
ted to create are Have You
Ever FELTLike This Be-
fore? with wool
gatherer, Emily Ran-
cier, who will teach
attendees to create a
small felt purse using
a technique known as
wool roving, Tues.,
Oct. 9 and16, 6:30
p.m. at Clarks Green
United Methodist
Church, 119 Glen-
burn 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 thou-
sands 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. Its magical
howa wooly mass can
transformbeneath your
fingers into an authentic
fabric, whether it is stiff and
thick or light as air. And its
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, partic-
ipants will use a resist, or a
thin plastic sheet that will
determine the shape of the
purse as they formthe wool
around it.
...We will also learn how
to make cords for the purse
straps, said Rancier, whose
past includes being a shep-
herd for 25 years and a
spinner for 30 years.
The cost of Ranciers
class is $10 plus $15 supply
cost; registration deadline-
Oct. 2.
According to Dori Wa-
ters, an Abington Area
Community Classroom
organizer, Harlemans class,
Silk Scarf Art will offer
an opportunity to produce a
scarf using a creative and
extremely simple technique
an informal class setting.
You wont believe how
easy these are to make. The
possibilities are endless.
You can do spirals, circles
(designs)anything you
want, said Waters. The
process involves using a
piece of freezer paper.
Whatever you do on the
scarf is mirrored on the
freezer paper, so you not
only end up with a beautiful
scarf, but also paper that
you can either frame, or use
as wrapping paper for the
gift, added Waters. Fee is
$20 plus a $20 supply cost
and registration is open until
Oct. 11.

This is our third year of Christmas in Septem-
ber, and it seems every year its getting bigger and
more popular for the community, said archpriest
Rev. John Kowalczyk. What we want to do is
open this up to the community so it becomes a
major happening. The hall will be stocked with
nearly a million dollars worth of goods.
Rev. John Perich, who grewup with Kowalc-
zyk in Yonkers, N.Y., will sell collectibles, jew-
elry, and Christmas gifts fromaround the world
fromhis own business called Father Johns World
Treasures. He became internationally known
when he used to work for QVC.
Imappealing to people of all different ethnic
backgrounds, said Perich. I knowif they come
here for the festival, they will get unbelievable
prices that will not be able to get in local depart-
ment stores.
St. Michaels is hiring a caterer to provide fes-
tivalgoers with homemade Russian and Ukrai-
nian foods such as pierogies, Italian sausage,
porketta sandwiches, kielbasa sand-
wiches, sopressata and clamchowd-
er for sale, along with potato pan-
cakes and hot wing pierogies .
The hallmark of our church is
our homemade pierogies, said
Kowalczyk. Theyre the best in the
area.
The festival will have two tents
with ten-foot tables for people to sit
and enjoy the food.
The food thats
brought in and the good
that we prepare are
excellent, said hall
manager George Pet-
orak. We have a good
track record of foods
and everything we sell.
We ride on tradition.
One of the main
festivities is a classic
car showSunday. Cars
displayed will include
muscle cars such as
Chevelles, Camaros,
Pontiacs and Impalas
fromthe1950s and
60s. Motorcycles will
also be featured. Dan
Kitchura, in charge of
the car show, hopes to
have more than100 vehicles displayed. Last year,
there were 50 to 70.
I think the event has grown every year, said
Kitchura. We seemto reach people farther away.
I have people coming fromAvoca, Moosic, so its
stretching out pretty quickly. Anyone with a
vehicle to display in the show, can call Dan at
570.876.4610.
Entertainment will be provided by country
singer and member of St. Michaels Center Dani-
elle who will performChristmas tunes and origi-
nal songs such as DreamBig and Country
Broke fromher album. God blessed me with
he talent that I have and its an absolute honor that
I can come out and share it with the community,
especially my church family, " she said.
DJ Greg Bertholf will also provide musical
entertainment.
Church president Joe Krenitsky, president for
more than 35 years, has been supporting this
event through the church committee. Imhoping
for a nice day, he said.
Rev. Kowaczyk calls Christmas
in September a social event for the
area. Were expecting thousands
of people for the weekend, he
said. Someday, well come close

and thats a wonderful thing
except when it overlaps with
the physical education class-

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.

decisionyoumake, some people are going
tolike it, some people arent....as longas
youdothe right thing, what is best for the
community, younever have toworryabout
it. In1970s, Perryshowedhis backbone
whenhe, as police commissioner, ordered
the Grove Street Bridge closedafter his
sonnoticeddangerous bridge decay.
I saidtohimwhenI was walkingover
there [the bridge], Dad, I cansee the rail-
roadtracks throughthe sidewalk, Scott
Perrysaid.
His father was skeptical at first, but soon
went tothe bridge toexamine it. Sure
enough, it was dilapidatedas his sonhad
claimed. TonyPerrybecame worried
about those whocrossedthe bridge, and
especiallyabout students whopassedover
onbuses toandfromschool.
He closedit onhis own, andwhenthey
[state officials] inspectedit, theyagreed
withhim, saidCarol Perry, Perrys wife of
38years, whoexplainedthat others were
opposedtoclosingthe bridge.
Astate trooper showedup. It was a big
fiasco, saidTonyPerrys daughter, Pame-
la Orue.
That made a lot of people unhappy,
Scott Perrysaid, explainingthat many
didnt like havingtotake analternate route
while the bridge was closed. It was falling
apart. It hadtobe done.
Nowyousee theres a brandnewbridge
there, saidOrue. He won, right?
Whenhe wasnt closingbridges downfor
public safetyor actinginhis official capacities
as mayor or police commissioner or patrolman
over the years, he showedhis softer side, his
daughter said.
Perrylovedtoengage withthe community.
He coachedyouthsports teams. He playedbass
ina band, SouthernComfort, formerlyThe
Funtimers. He drankcoffee andchattedwith
residents indiners throughout the Abingtons,
accordingtohis obituary.
If he wasnt a friendof yours, bythe
time he was done talkingtoyou, he was,
Carol Perrysaid. He woulddoanything
he couldtohelpanybody.
His daughter saidonholidays her father
wouldtake shifts for police officers who
hadsmall childrensotheycouldbe home
withtheir families.
He never forgot what it was like tobe
the lowmanonthe totempole, his son
said.
Scott Perry, nowanassistant chief in
Laceyville, sees himself as retraces his
fathers career path. Workingas a police-
mangives himinsight intohis father.
I didnt realize howmuchI learned
fromhimuntil recently, he said. I have a
muchbetter understandingof myfather.
His father toldhimtoremember toput
helpingothers above all else inlife.
That stays withme onthe jobtodayas a
policeman, he said.
Shortlybefore his death, Perrywonhis
thirdtermas mayor andcelebratedhis 65th
birthday. Inhis last years, he was enamored
of his grandson, ZacharyPerryKarabin.
He especiallyenjoyedtakingZachary
fishingandswimming, accordingtofam-
ily.
In2003, Clarks Summit BoroughCoun-
cil votedunanimouslytoadopt a resolution

trees and not just the trunks, said
Beechko. 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 were trying to
come up with something low
maintenance. According to
Beechko, to date, the committee
has commitments fromEverything
Natural, Lawrence E. Young Fu-
neral Home, OBoyle Real Estate,
Beta Bread, The Moore Building,
Petco building, Gerrie Carey build-
ing and Our Lady of the Snows
Church and Rectory.
Beechko and her committee are
seeking help fromthe community
in the formof monetary donations,
additional volunteers and residents
or individuals to adopt a vacant
building. My goal is to put a com-
mittee together involving the
whole community - as possibly
adopting a building thats va-
cant. We can raise to money to
buy the lights, and we are given a
discount on power fromPP&L.
We dont want this to be a big bur-
den on anyone; wed like to have
volunteers of all ages and occupa-
tions involved.
She added, We have some peo-
ple who have come forward, Archi-
tect, Kuni Matsui and Highland
Associates, who will measure
buildings and want to help with the
design, and were looking for any
groups that would like to help line
the buildings with lights. Arepre-
sentative fromWalsh 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 perma-
nently and will be available for
special occasions such as the Ice
Festival.
Meetings will be held on Tues-
days, 9:30 a.m. at the Clarks Sum-
mit Borough Building. For more
information, contact Ellen Beech-
ko at 947.2847. The lighting of the
town is scheduled for Nov.15.

and a goal of the event is to
empower the children with
lifesaving safety skills.
She stressed the importance
of not frightening them by
adding more fear into danger-
ous situations. Walsh said she
would like to erase the nega-
tive connotations children
sometimes have about law
enforcement officers and
emergency responders, and
replace it with the message
that those people are heroes
who are here to help.
If you want to empower
someone, she said, you give
them information and take the
fear away from them.

Sue and Joe Kashuba, both of
Justus, founded the business in
1985.
According to Mushel, the
number of employees varies by
season. Right now, they have14
people on staff. During the busy
seasons of spring and summer
they have up to 20 staff mem-
bers.
If business picks up like we
expect, we plan to hire a few
more people, he said.
Agrand reopening is sched-
uled for October 26, 27 and 28

JUSTUS - According to
Brian Mushel, store manager at
Justus True Value Home and
Garden, the key to the stores
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 since1989,
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 Oc-
tober. 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. Peo-
ple started asking us to carry
certain things. We were looking
for things that we can carry that
the big stores like Lowes and
Home Depot dont have.
It all goes back to service. If
we just filled our shelves and
were a self -serve business, we
wouldnt be here. We love tak-
ing care of our customers, thats
why were still here.
Mushel, 34, of Justus, has
served as manager for 12 years

GLENBURN TWP. - Glen-
burn Twp. residents will soon
have access to an Internet-
based computer program that
will provide reports on ongoing
cleanup efforts at the Precision
National Plating Superfund
cleanup site.
The online database, which
will go live sometime this fall,
will also feature an archive of
information related to the clea-
nup sites history, according to
the Glenburn Twp. supervisors
at their Sept. 17 meeting. The
board viewed a demonstration
of the website in late August at
a meeting with the EPA.
Its kind of a repository for a
lot of data in a computer for-
mat that will help people un-
derstand better whats going on
around their home, whats go-
ing on at the site, Solicitor
Malcolm McGregor said. This
is viewed as a very positive
step forward.
The Precision site has been
treated over the years with a
series of calcium polysulfide
injections, which are intended
to reduce the presence of hexa-
valent chromiuma toxicant
and carcinogenin the soil
and groundwater. The most
recent round of injections be-
gan Sept. 6 and will continue
through November, according
to the EPA on-scene coor-
dinators Web page.
Extensive testing for contam-
ination levels will go on this
month and next and will con-
tinue as needed. The results of
these tests will be posted on the
new database.
The EPA is expected to work
with Glenburn officials provide
a demonstration of the program
to the public at a meeting in the
near future.
Supervisors reiterated that
Precision is still footing the bill
for the cleanup in accordance
with a recent settlement with
the EPA. The board also want-
ed to clarify that testing is be-
ing conducted on monitoring
wells, not private wells.
MacGregor noted that the
board will continue to follow
up with the efforts.
In other business, Canadian-
Pacific Railroad handed over
its blueprints for a communi-
cations tower to be built in
Glenburn to the townships
engineer, who reviewed the
plans for safety and is in con-
tact with the company. Mac-
Gregor said that the towers
erection shouldnt be an issue.

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 Bene-
dict 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 churchs
identity to the world.
The Year of Faith is an
opportunity for us to deepen
our faith and to further in-
tegrate the Catholic faith into
our daily lives, said Rev. Jef-
frey D. Tudgay.
The Year of Faith extends
from October 2012 to Novem-
ber 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 Vat-
ican Council.
Rev. Tudgay said that the
Faith Formation sessions coin-
cide with Bishop Joseph Bam-
bera calling for a calling for
the deep adult faith in cate-
chesis.
Each parish will offer two
days of discussion on each
document. All sessions will be
held on Wednesdays at 10:30
a.m. and 7 p.m.
The first session of the se-
ries will discuss Dei Verbum:
The Mystery of Gods Word
Revealed, Our Lady of the
Snows parish will host the
session Oct. 3 and 17, the
Church of Saint Gregory will
host Oct. 10 and 24. The fol-
lowing sessions will discuss
Sacrosanctum Concilium:
The Church as the Body of
Christ at Prayer, Lumen
Gentium: The Body of Christ
as the Light of the Worldand
Gaudium et Specs: The Soli-
darity of Christs body with
Humanity.
Rev. Tudgay reminded the
community of Saint Augus-
tines words, fides quaerens
intellectum. Translation: faith
seeks understanding.

garding the Year of Faith and

series, call Our Lady of the

CLARKS GREEN-
Representatives from
Courthouse Square Ven-
tures gave presentations
for their plans for the
building on 319 North
Abington Road that cur-
rently holds law offices at
this months meeting of
the Clarks Green Bor-
ough Council Sept. 12 at
the Borough building.
Engineer, Robert Naegele
and architect, Jim Rodg-
ers presented the plans
for the two buildings on
the property and the
plans to rent out the
rooms as doctors 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 in-
side renovation. They
plan to replace blacktop
in the back parking lot
with a retention pond that
will serve as a water gar-
den to control storm wa-
ter runoff. Naegele said
that current drivewayswill
not be altered. Cour-
thouse Square Ventures
presented their initial
plan to the Clarks Green
Planning Committee and
will represent the plans to
the committee before coun-
cil takes action.
Jim Kane from the
Abington Area Joint Rec-
reation Board (AAJRB)
addressed council about
the contract with the com-
pany Field Turf and the
work on the soccer field.
Originally, Council had
approved the contract for
Field Turf to install Astro-
turf on the soccer field
while other projects would
be bid out to other compa-
nies. The other projects,
such as a fence with net-
ting and football goal
posts are on the same
field. It was decided that
Field Turf s contract would
be extended to include
those projects as well.
Council voted six to one to
approve the change orders
to the Field Turf contract.
Councilman Victor Albe-
rigi mentioned that they
are seeking to begin a bi-
centennial committee to
being plans for Clarks
Greens upcoming cele-
bration.

DALTON- At the Dalton
Borough Council meeting,
Sept. 13, President Bill Salva
mentioned that he received an
agreement fromPennDOTfor
Dalton to plowroads for the
next five years, including Turn-
pike Road, West Main Street
and Bank Street. Salva also
recited the pay fromthe agree-
ment: $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 Daltons current
plowtruck is leaking hydrau-
lics. 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, a1999 International
S2500 aluminumdump truck,
DT466, fromPenn-Hazle
Equipment, Inc.
We have to put the old truck
out to bid, said Salva. Were
hoping we can get back in
return fromit at least $8 to
$10,000, which would bring
this truck (the1999 Interna-
tional) 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.

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 Cul-
ture Grant, will be presented by the
Dearly Departed Players beginning
both days at the cemetery gates, 400
Church St, Dunmore at 2 p.m. Cos-
tumed characters will be in place at
several stops throughout the ceme-
tery. Although the event is nowin its
ninth year under the Dearly Depart-
ed Players, this year is an all new
tour with newstops, newstories
fromthe past, newcostumes and
newexhibits, according to Julie
Esty, Artistic Director for the Play-
ers.
The Dearly Departed Players
consists of 14 Lackawanna County
residents, ranging fromages 11-85,
each of whomEsty said brings their
own unique talents to the group.
When you combine our talents,
she said, we are quite a force. Its
kind of like stars collided or the
planets lined up and brought this
group of people together in the cem-
etery. Weve 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 isnt something
that happens overnight, but rather
the group works on it year round.
Fromthe 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 Emi-
ly Dickinson and Edward Gorey)
starting 30 minutes before the tour
each night, as well as a performance

A
rtists Ali Woods Wilson and
Benjamin Jackson, whose
paintings will soon be on dis-
play at the Courthouse Art Gallery,
Tunkhannock, enjoy to show their art
jointly.
The two recently exhibited at the
Dietrich Theater together, and when
Woods Wilson got an opportunity to
display her pieces at the Courthouse
Art Gallery in Tunkhannock, she in-
vited Jackson to join her.
I think we show well together,
Woods Wilson said of how Jacksons
work and her own are complementary.
For instance, both like to experiment
with various media.
I especially like experimenting with
different media and discovering new
techniques that I dont normally see,
Jackson, 24, said.
Woods Wilson agreed.
I love mixing media up, she said.
I love experimenting with color, aque-
ous paints and inks, pages from dis-
carded library books and interesting
papers.
The two even have similar career
aims.
Secretly, I would love to manage a
gallery someplace beautiful, Woods
Wilson said.
Some days I feel like Id like to
open my own gallery, Jackson said.
Other days I feel like Id like to move
to a city and sell my work on the
streets.
As for artistic philosophies, Jackson
finds a succinct expression of his in
literature.
One of my favorite quotes was
written by the author Tom Robbins: It
is the function of the artist to call atten-
tion to what life does not. I feel like
this is sort of why I started creating
art, Jackson said.
Woods Wilson finds inspiration
within.
I make art because there is a
screaming creative beast inside me that
wont 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, how-
ever, 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

show runs through Oct. 19.

W
hen he vis-
ited the
Lower East
Side Tene-
ment Museum in New
York in 2002, writer/
producer Jay Kholos
remembered the stories
his grandfather had told
him so long ago.
They (Jewish people)
really werent wanted,
Kholos said, explaining
why his grandfather fled
Russia as a young man.
The Cossacks would be
coming through and raid-
ing the villages.
Kholos grandfather
escaped the pogroms of
Eastern Europe and came
to America, entered
through Ellis Island, and
worked hard to earn
enough money to send
for his future wife Kho-
los future Bubbie to
join him in the new land
of opportunity.
I got the idea in 2002;
in 2003 the play opened
off-Broadway and ran for
16 months, Kholos said.
The writer/producer
recently arranged another
run for the play, which
will play in Philadelphia
starting Oct. 7. But first,
A Stoop on Orchard
Street will play at the
Jewish Community Cen-
ter in Wilkes-Barre.
You dont have to be
Jewish to enjoy this play,
Kholos said with a
chuckle. But it couldnt
hurt.
Seriously, he said, he
believes the setting in
Manhattans Lower East
Side and the characters
dreams of a better life
resonate will resonate
with many Americans
whose ancestors emigrat-
ed from other countries.
The story isnt auto-
biographical, he said,
except that he sprinkled
some family names into
the script.
If you attend you will
meet an old Vaudevillian
named Ben who will look
back on his life, in partic-
ular the year 1910. That
was a particularly chal-
lenging time for young
Benny, who felt he had to
become the man of the
house when his father,
Hiram, abandoned his
wife, Ruth, and two chil-
dren.
Seeking to fill the void
in Ruths life, a neighbor
falls in love with her. He
feels terribly guilty, ter-
ribly conflicted because
shes still married, Kho-
los said, referring to the
lyrics of Another Mans
Wife.
As to how the play
turns out, Kholos advised
you to join the audience
and find out in person.
It is a very romanti-
cized version of what life
was like, he said. We
show a little of the hard-
ship of 12 people living
in a place that has enough
room for four, but we
really delve into the
hopes and dreams of
people in a tenement
house.
They had no televi-
sion, no radio, just the
socializing with their
group on the stoop, and
the gossip.
There was always
hope on the stoop.

mbiebel@timesleader.com
I have nothing against writers
who churn out what is often
contemptuously termed air-
port pot-boilers, those paper-
backs we pluck from airport
news stands and supermarket
racks. Just because some au-
thors are inhumanly prolific
does not necessarily mean
theyre bad writers, but it also
doesnt guarantee theyre 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
Sandfords Prey books leave
me hungry for more, while
Robbs In Death novels make
me reach for the Alka Seltzer.
Sandfords and Robbs 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 pop-
ular romance writer. The pro-
tagonists of their series are
wealthy, marrieddetectives who
specialize in cracking heinous
murder cases. Robbs Eve Dal-
las lives in a New York City
some 50 years in the future,
while Sandfords Lucas Daven-
port is firmly rooted in the pre-
sent in Minnesota.
I like to think I have a cast-
iron stomach when it comes to
gulping up pot-boilers, but I
have to admit Ive only read two
of Robbs In Death books.
Frankly, I just couldnt choke
down any more. I suppose the
mainreasonis that whileRobbs
concept for a futuristic police
procedural is filled with prom-
ise, her books in this series are
really thinly disguised romance
novels -- my least favorite
genre. The protagonist, Lieu-
tenant Eve Dallas, appears to be
a tough, no-nonsense cop, but
shes perfectly willing to have
her hunky, unbelievably perfect,
filthy rich husband run interfe-
rence for her, decide what shell
wear, and produce miraculous
meals fromtheir AutoChef ma-
chine. 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
its filled with clichs, stilted
dialogue, suspiciously conve-
nient discoveries, and static,
cookie-cutter characters. The
plots are soslowmovingandre-
petitive that I foundmyself mut-
tering, Please, please, get ON
with it, already! All this is
topped off by a heroine who is
hard to like. Shes beautiful, of
course, and good at her job, but
except in her relationship with
Roark, shes a cold fish closed
off, terse, and without much in
the way of compassion or kind-
ness.
At the opposite end of the
spectrum, we have Sandfords
Lucas Davenport. He, too, is
wealthier than any cop whos
not on the take, having made a
killing by developing role-play-
ing games for both popular con-
sumption and police training.
Lucas is a big man, with rough
good looks moderated by sever-
al scars, one of which he ac-
quires when Weather Karkin-
nen, a surgeonhe will later mar-
ry, performs an emergency tra-
cheotomyonhimafter hes been
shot. He loves breaking the
speedlimit inhis Porsche, wear-
ing designer duds and spending
what little free time he has with
his family, which includes baby
SamandLetty, a younggirl 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 whojoinhiminhunt-
ing down killer after killer.
However, while Lucas is a de-
voted husband, father, and
friend, he has a darker side. He
sometimes suffers from crip-
pling bouts of depression, and
part of him enjoys violence. He
gets in trouble regularly be-
cause he plays by his own rules,
but he has good instincts and
isnt afraidtofollowthem. He is
also appealingly aware of his
own inadequacies. In short, hes
very human.
In addition to creating inter-
esting, multi-faceted, and thor-
oughly believable characters we
cant help but care about, Sand-
fordis areal craftsmanas awrit-
er. 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 won-
derful portraits of the land and
weather of Minnesota. The only
qualm I sometimes have with
the Prey novels is that theyare
very violent, and the killers are
often twisted in stomach-turn-
ing ways. Regardless, Sanford
is a master of suspense. Some-
times the suspense is due to the
fact that we knowthe identity of
the killer long before the police
do; at other times, we are guess-
ing right along with the detec-
tives. No matter what plot de-
vice he uses, its clear that Sand-
ford really understands the
genre, and as a reader, its com-
forting to be in the hands of a
real pro.
I realize that J.D. Robbs 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
Sandfords Prey series wont
be everyones cup of tea. If you
feel the need to lap up gruel that
doesnt require any digestive ef-
fort on your part, J.D. Robbs
pot-boilers are perfect fare.
However, if you like an easy
read that has a little more meat
on its bones, put John Sand-
fords books on your menu.

FACTORYVILLE
Lackawanna Trail High
Schools dominating
start to the season
shows no signs of stop-
ping anytime soon.
The Lions tallied 580
yards on offense to blow
by Western Wayne 46-
21 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 quarter-
back Zach Goodrich
was the model of effi-
ciency, completing sev-
en 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 bal-
anced big-play threat
shown by both the pass-
ing and running game
makes the Lions of-
fense tough to stop.
Weve trained so
hard, we want to pound
the ball right down on
them, Murazzi said.
Then when they get
tired were gonna throw
on them. You cant stop
us. Were gonna do any-
thing to get the ball in
the endzone.
Western Wayne
showed some fight
early. After Greenley
broke a 56-yard touch-
down 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 at-
tempt, the Wildcats took
an early 7-6 lead.
The Lions immediate-
ly answered back, fin-
ishing a quick drive
with a short rushing
touchdown by Zedar.
Another long touch-
down, 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 Wild-
cats 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 over-
come the massive lead
the Lions built.

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 74-
yard drive in the fourth
quarter Sept. 22, after
Abington Heights had
pulled to within one touch-
down.
After getting sacked for an
11- yard loss, Schor connect-
ed with wide receiver Eric
Pizarro for a 38- yard com-
pletion. Schor also rushed
for 26 yards on the drive,
including a 5-yard touch-
down run with 5:53 left in
the game to give the War-
riors 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
play, Schor said. We said
We have to buckle down
and get one in the end zone
and thats how we won the
game.
Delaware Valley sopho-
more linebacker Matt Wagn-
er set the tone early when he
intercepted a pass from
Abington Heights quarter-
back Dante Pasqualichio and
returned it 32 yards for a
touchdown. After Brendan
Paulisons extra point, the
Warriors led 7-0 less than in
minute into the game.
The Warriors were threat-
ening again on the next
drive, but Comets lineback-
er 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 Pasqual-
ichio was intercepted by
linebacker Connor Decker
ending the threat. Delaware
Valley was unable to convert
the turnover into points as
Paulisons missed a 40-yard
field goal attempt.

W
hile Robert T. Wnuk,
area fisheries man-
ager for the Penn-
sylvania Fish and Boat Com-
mission, noted there are many
thousands of Bullhead Cat-
fish in Lake Lackawanna at
Lackawanna State Park, only
one Channel Catfish was
found as part of the commis-
sions scheduled catfish sur-
vey on the lake Sept. 19.
Were out here looking at
the Channel Catfish today. Its
a species that doesnt repro-
duce 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 its work-
ingthat were getting a
return for all of the money
weve 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 pre-
viously stocked juvenile cat-
fish and natural reproduction
in that lake, and the public
was invited to the demonstra-
tion 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 Cat-
fish due to a demand for
them. Anglers love to catch
them. They get very big up
to 35 to 40 pounds. Theyre a
very popular sport fish, said
Wnuk.
A Pennsylvania style trap
net, which when wet, can
weigh as much as 400
pounds, not including the
weight of the fish. The bait
used in the commissions nets
consists of cheese trimmings,
soy and molasses. Wnuk said,
Its a pretty simple de-
viceand Ive caught as
many as 30,000 fish in a sin-
gle 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 num-
ber we get is variable based
on hatchery conditions. Over
the last 10 years, the lake has
averaged 2,738 fingerlings
per year.

stocking by the Pennsylvania
Fish and Boat Commission,

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 Ath-
letic Conference standings after a break-
through 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 de-
fending 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 Sat-
urday. 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, double-
overtime loss to sixth-ranked Skidmore, which
shares the nations best record at 8-0.Oneonta
gained votes in the coaches national Division
III Top 20 poll last week and moved into posi-
tion to potentially join the rankings this week.
Robinson played midfield as a freshman
before moving to defense for her sophomore
and junior seasons. She is now a defensive
midfielder in a new alignment.
During her college career, Robinson has
played in 57 games, including starting in 45 of
her last 47 games.

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 Becks solid ground
strokes and Conrads 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 Mens Doubles Divi-
sion Bob Cullen and Joe Vin-
son were the champions,
winning the decisive match
against Joe DeOrio and Ken
Strauss. Morey Moritz and
John Azzarelli finished one
point behind the DeOrio-
Strauss team to finish in third
place.

Kelsey Deveney of Dalton/
Lackawanna Trail, was named
2012 Colonial States Athletic
Conference Field Hockey
Player of the Week and Honor
Roll for the week ending Sept.
16. A senior at Gwynedd-
Mercy College, she totaled
two goals and an assist for the
Griffins during their 1-1 week.
In Thursdays 4-1 loss to de-
fending national champ The
College of New Jersey, Deve-
ney scored the games first
goal to give the Griffins an
early lead. She followed that
up by dialing up a goal and an
assist in the Griffins 3-1 win
over visiting Alvernia on Sat-
urday.
Deveney named player of
the week and honor roll
Crossword answers from Page 4
the best showing against
Lackawanna Trails de-
fense this season. The
Wildcats 21 points are
most any team has scored
against the Lions tough
unit. Lackawanna Trails
head coach Steve Jervis
said the team allowed
some big plays but was
overall extremely pleased
with the way his team
slowed down the Western
Wayne.
[Western Wayne head
coach] Keller is a quality
coach, Jervis said. You
have to be very disciplined
to stop his offense I am
very, very proud of how
hard our kids played to-
night.
The win moves the Li-
ons record to 4-0. West-
ern Waynes 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 mara-
thon, not a sprint, Jervis
said. You enjoy the win,
[but] well be right back to
work on Monday.
Lackawanna Trails next
game will take place on
the road 7 p.m. Friday
against Mid Valley. West-
ern Waynes next game
will also be at 7 p.m. Fri-
day against Montrose.
LIONS

did in the first with a quick
touchdown. Santiago scored
on a 32- yard run that was
set up by a 34 -yard comple-
tion from Schor to Lucas
Markowitz. Paulisons extra
point gave the Warriors a
21-0 lead with 10:48 remain-
ing in the third quarter.
Abington Heights put
together a 7-play 75-yard
drive on the next drive that
was capped by a 17-yard
touchdown from Pasqulichio
to fullback Jerry Langan on
a screen pass after the
Comets quarterback escap-
ed several defenders.
The Comets continued
their momentum when run-
ning back Quinn Karam
scored on a 2-yard plunge to
end a 16-play 73-yard drive.
After Ryan Patricks extra
point, Abington Heights
trailed 21-14 with 9:13 left
in the fourth quarter.
Im very proud of the
way my players came out
and fought in the second
half and had an opportunity
to win the football game,
Repshis said.
Delaware Valley is a very
good football team. Theyre
physical, they run it very
well and have great team
speed.
Lucas Markowitz, who
caught six passes for 82
yards, added a 30-yard in-
terception return for a
touchdown.
Warriors defensive back
Kyle Clark sealed the win
when he intercepted Pas-
qualichio with 1:26 remain-
ing in the game. Clark also
picked up 26 yards on a
fake punt earlier in the
game.

December, completing her
studies in environmental
science in 3 years.
Robinson played for the
Summit Styx, Clarks Sum-
mit and Mr. Delaneys Stick-
gals club teams locally while
in high school. She played
on Chaos, a Pennsylvania
team that won the 2008 USA
Hockey Regional Rumble
title in Virginia Beach, and
represented the Pocono Re-
gion in the Keystone State
Games.
While at Abington
Heights, Robinson was a
three-year varsity player and
a team captain as a senior.
She led the teams midfiel-
ders in scoring each of her
last two seasons and had the
game-winning goal to clinch
the Lady Comets Wyoming
Valley Conference Division
2 championship in her senior
year.
Robinson also played four
years on the Abington
Heights soccer team.
Oneonta is enjoying re-
surgence in field hockey.
The Red Dragons were 6-13
in 2008 for their 11th losing
record in a 15-year stretch.
While Robinson has been
in the program, Oneonta has
improved to 8-10, 12-8 and
14-7. She was named team

SCRANTON- Scranton
High School used a balanced
offensive attack and opportu-
nistic defense to defeat
Scranton Prep, 43-21, in a
Lackawanna League Division
I football contest at Scranton
Memorial Stadium Sept. 21.
Scranton sophomore run-
ning back Jake McCarthy
finished the game with 173
yards on 20 carries and three
touchdowns. Knights quarter-
back Marlinn Waiters com-
pleted 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 touch-
down to end a five-play 64-
yard drive. McCarthy found
Matt Gorton on a halfback
pass for the two-point con-
version 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
touchdown run. Alvaro Fer-
nandez added the extra point
to give Scranton a 15-7ad-
vantage.
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
Fernandezs extra point,
Scranton led 22-13.
Jakes a very good ath-
lete, Marichak said. If you
give him a crease, he has the
speed to break it and his vi-
sion 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, Mar-
ichak said. (Prep) made
some big plays, but youre
gonna expect that out of them
because they are a good foot-
ball team. Our defense has
kinda been bend, but dont
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 Sta-
fursky ran in the two-point
conversion to pull the Cava-
liers 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, finger-
tip 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 PoconoSatur-
day afternoon.

Carleton A.
Connell Jr. of
Clarks Sum-
mit, died
Aug. 25 after
a brief ill-
ness. He was
90. His former wife, Mar-
gery (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 Col-
lege 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 Scran-
ton prior to becoming Gen-
eral Manager of the Lacka-
wanna Mills Paper Compa-
ny. In 1952 he purchased
Kucks Village Art and
Frame Shop, located on
Adams Avenue in Scranton.
In 1955 he moved the busi-
ness to Clarks Green, re-
named it the Abington
Frame Shop, and operated
the business for 50 years
until his retirement in 2005.
Although Connell was an
avid outdoorsman who en-
joyed hunting, fishing and
golf, his greatest excitement
and satisfaction came from
listening and dancing to
great music. Dixieland Jazz
and the big band arrange-
ments of his youth were his
passion. A weekend rarely
went by that Skinner was not
traveling somewhere in the
Pa./N.Y./N.J. area to listen to
music and take over the
dance floor, as only he
could. Through the years he
encouraged and supported a
host of organizations in the
area that were dedicated to
the preservation of Jazz and
big band music.
Surviving are a sister, Ann
Connell Davis, who resides
in North Carolina with her
husband Homer. Three chil-
dren, Alexis Connell Davis
and husband Charles; Jack
Connell; Jill Connell Caden
and husband Rodney, along
with six grandchildren; Tyler
Davis and wife Beth; Todd
Davis and wife Emily; Mat-
thew Caden; Shawn Caden
and partner Kate OMalley;
Whitney Garner and hus-
band David and Madeline
Connell. Three great-grand-
children, McKenzie Davis,
Jacob Davis and Phaedra
OMalley Caden, along with
best friend and loving com-
panion Alice Jones.
He was preceded in death
by his brother James L.
Connell and his longtime
companion Nancy Sand-
ercock.
The family will receive
friends on Saturday, Sept.
29, from 10 to 11 a.m. at the
Lawrence E. Young Funeral
Home, 418 South State St.,
Clarks Summit.
In lieu of flowers, dona-
tions may be made to the
charity of your choice.
