RANSOM TWP. - At 5:30 a.m.,
Sept. 8, Dennis Macheska was
on his way to work during Trop-
ical Storm Lee. At that point, he
was able to cross the flooded
road in front of the Ransom
Township Lions Club field in
Ransom.
It (the water) was deep but
not deep enough and I could go
through with my truck. By 6
p.m., they told me it was five
feet deep, said Macheska. This
is the first time the field was
ever flooded and the first time
the water was all the way up
into the next field. Its more wa-
ter than Ive ever seen in all my
life 62 years, added the Ran-
som Township Lions Club Presi-
dent as he pointed to the clubs
pavilion that was submerged in
more than six feet of water in
the kitchen area and approxi-
mately five feet of water in the
garage and nearby bathrooms.
On that day, the Ransom Lions
Club grounds sustained more
than $20,000 in flood damage to
its pavilion located at 3010 Main

were able to purchase a wristband for $5, which allowed them to play games, create sand art, visit a
tattoo and nail salon, get a face painting and jump in bounce houses. Entertainment was provided
throughout the day, including Banjo playing, Zumba, dancing and singing. Above, Ethan Levine watches as

larks Summit Police Chief Lou Vitale redirects
traffic Oct. 13 as Roba Family Farms delivers 21
pumpkins weighing from 200 - 500 pounds each
to the Clarks Summit Borough Building. They will be
stored there until the Abington Business and Profession-
al Association Pumpkin Carving event set for Oct. 29 in
downtown Clarks Summit. I think theyve got a winner
here, said Vitale of the first annual event. The way the
people have consistently come out for the ice sculptures,
this could be a good one. He referred to the associ-
ations annual Clarks Summit Festival of Ice held an-
nually in February. For more on the Pumpkin Carving

CLARKSSUMMIT- Ask
almost anyone involved in ef-
forts to raise awareness or mon-
ey for breast cancer research
why they want
to help, and
they will most
likely mention
that it is diffi-
cult today to
find a person
whose life has
not been af-
fected in some
way by the
disease. Everyone, it seems, has
either had breast cancer, knows
someone who has survived it, or
has lost a loved one to it.
Mary Patterson, a resident at
Clarks Summit Senior Living,
Morgan Highway, however, has
felt the effects of breast cancer
on her life on more levels than
the average person. Not only is
she a survivor, she said, but her
mother and three sisters have all
had breast cancer, and nowher
brothers wife is going through it
as well.
Patterson stressed the impor-
tance of going for mammo-
grams and being educated on
breast cancer. People are so
foolish who dont keep up with
it today, because it is so com-
mon, she said.
She said she looks forward to
a special event planned Oct. 25
by the personal care homes
activities director Gail Ross to
raise breast cancer awareness.
Ross said the tea party style
event will include pink lemon-

COMMUNITY
CALENDAR
Editor:
I amwriting to thank every-
one who helped me and my son
Dylan after we lost everything
in the fire at the Over The Hill
Farm. The tremendous support
we received fromfamily,
friends, and strangers alike has
made it possible for us to start
over. Everything fromthe
thoughtful and heartfelt things
given to Dylan, to the gift cards,
monetary donations and basic
household necessities, are grate-
fully appreciated.
I cannot possibly name here
all of the individuals and orga-
nizations that helped us but I
hope to personally thank every-
one I can. Please knowthat I am
equally grateful to anyone who
donated anonymously as well.
I was born and raised in this
community and it is wonderful
to knowthat people here un-
conditionally help without hes-
itation. Again, thank you to each
and every one of you for your
help and support.
Jesse Sabatelle
Editor,
I have been following closely
the comments concerning
Abington Heights School Board
candidate, for an at large seat,
TomBrogan.
Recently some have been
advocating for Brogan due to
the fact that he is a retired teach-
er and hence would be an asset
to the board with his education
background.
I must disagree.
The adages actions speak
louder than words and you
should judge a person based on
their character have stood the
test of time for good reason.
When it comes to both of those
as far as Mr. Brogan is con-
cerned, he is not, in my opinion,
a qualified candidate for school
board.
As the chairman of the union
grievance board he used his
position to the advantage of the
unions at expense to the tax-
payers. Even the most silly and
petty grievance cost the district
thousands of dollarsthat could
and should have gone into aca-
demics, not polemics.
Currently Brogan is receiving
a pension, as well as full health-
care coverage for he and his
wife all at taxpayer expense. All
the voters need do is look at their
school tax bills, which are cur-
rently due, and see what Brogan
and his kind have wrought.
Having a former teacher on
the board may be a good idea,
but that person has to have edu-
cation and the students, as well
as the taxpayers as priorities, not
the union.
What guarantee do we have
that Brogan will not use his seat
on the board to channel infor-
mation back to the union?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Editor,
Recently someone stated that
they felt that TomBrogan is less
of an educator and more of a
union activist. As a former
student of Mr. Brogan I must
say I sincerely disagree. Mr.
Brogan made class fun and
interesting, which is a pretty
good accomplishment when
dealing with a roomfull of 13
and14 -year -olds. I sit here
writing this as a Graduate Stu-
dent and I have to say that from
my time in Abington Heights
Middle School there were few
teachers who not only believed
in me but made me believe in
myself, like Mr. Brogan did.
For a while I even considered
becoming a social studies teach-
er myself because of teachers
like TomBrogan. Ten years
ago, I was sitting in his class-
roomwhen the 9/11attack hap-
pened. I remember every detail
of that class, including how
TomBrogan kept his compo-
sure and kept our class from
hysteria. I have a great respect
for this man and I find it hard to
believe that anyone who sat in
his classroomwould ever say he
was anything less than an excel-
lent teacher. No one can or
should take that away fromhim.
And I dare say that his work as
an activist is an extension of
himas a teacher.

The Lourdesmont Youth
and Family Services will host
the fundraiser, Win a Divine
Dream Vacation Down Un-
der, Oct. 26 at Amici Restau-
rant.
Each ticket is entered in a
raffle, for either a trip for two
to the Outback, Bush Great
Barrier Reef in Australia or a
$10,000 cash prize. The event
is limited to 500 tickets.
The fundraiser will begin at
7 p.m. and include food and a
cash bar.
The idea reflects a fun-
draiser that is different from
others in the area. It combines
adventure with a chance to get
away to relax and renew. Yet,
for those who do not wish or
have the time to travel, there is
an alternate prize of $10,000,
said Dr. John Antognoli, exec-
utive director of Lourdesmont
According to Antognoli,
this has been an annual fun-
draiser for Lourdesmont for
the past 23 years. Each year,
the planning committee picks
a potential destination for the
winner. However, there is
always the alternative of the
$10,000 prize.
Each ticket allows two
persons to attend the reception
and drawing at Amici. It is a
congenial evening to mingle
with old friends and to meet
new friends. Amici is a won-
derful setting, said Antogno-
li.
The restaurant provides the
food for the event and Antog-
noli noted that they are well
known for the quality and
delight of their presentations.
Typically, there are selections
of meat, pasta, salad and des-
serts. Also, there is a cash
bar.
Most importantly, the
funds generated help support
the ministry of the Sisters of
the Good Shepherd at Lour-
desmont, which addresses the
behavioral health needs of
children, youth and families in
our local communities. It is a
way to enjoy a lovely evening
and do good for the communi-
ty at the same time, added
Antognoli.
Antognoli said he looks
forward to greeting our many
supporters and to express our
gratitude for their participa-
tion in our mission to assist
children, youth and families.
We want them to have a very
enjoyable time.
The Lourdesmont Youth
and Family Services, who the
event benefits, provides seven
behavioral health services for
local children, youth and fam-
ilies, according to Antognoli.
Services are delivered in
homes, in schools and in
neighborhoods. A continuum
of community services offers
treatment and supportive pro-
grams in local schools, inter-
mediate schools and high
schools, in homes during tra-
ditional and non-traditional
hours, in enhancing parenting
skills and in providing sub-
stance abuse counseling.
Community-based services
also allow recipients to con-
tinue to take advantage of
natural support systems of
family and community while
receiving the help they need,
he added.
To purchase a ticket, contact
Sr. Terri Jordan at Lourdes-
mont at 570. 702.8360. Prize-
winners do not have to be
present at Amici Restaurant to
win. Additionally, the group
accepts donations at Lourdes-
mont Youth and Family Ser-
vices, 1327 Wyoming Avenue,
Scranton, PA18509

The South Branch Tunk-
hannock Creek Watershed Coa-
lition and Dorrance Belin, both
of Lackawanna County, will be
included among honorees at an
upcoming gala.
The 21st annual Environ-
mental Partnership Awards
Dinner, An Evening for Penn-
sylvanias Environment, will be
held Oct. 27 at 5 p.m. at the
Woodlands Inn &Resort, Route
315, Wilkes-Barre.
The South Branch Tunk-
hannock Creek Watershed Coa-
lition is being honored for its
activities to protect and maintain
the South Branch Tunkhannock
Creek Watershed.
Belin will be awarded the17th
annual Thomas P. Shelburne
Environmental Leadership
Award. For the past 40 years,
Belin has been a constant pres-
ence in environmental protec-
tion in the area, and is also a
founding member of the North-
eastern Pennsylvania Chapter of
the Nature Conservancy and the
Countryside Conservancy.
Overall, there are seven hon-
orees, also including Earth Con-
servancy of Luzerne County,
Joseph Orlowsky of Schuylkill
County, SEEDSof NEPA, Rob-
ert Skulsky of Luzerne County
and Bonnie Smith of Luzerne
County. The winners are chosen
via a nomination process.
The dinner, which usually
draws about 300, begins with an
hour and a half networking
reception, to give attendees time
to mingle with the award recip-
ients, speakers and other indi-
viduals and organizations work-
ing for the environmental bene-
fit of the region and also exam-
ine the displays about local
projects, said Janet Sweeney, of
the Pennsylvania Environmental
Council.
Emceed by Thomas Makow-
ski fromBorton Lawson, the
dinner will include Keynote
Speaker Secretary Michael
Krancer fromPennsylvania
Department of Environmental
Protection, commentary from
Richard Allan, Secretary of the
Pennsylvania Department of

sources and awards.
Nowin its 21st year, the
regionally acclaimed Envi-
ronmental Partnership Awards
programpays tribute to those
organizations and individuals of
Northeastern Pennsylvania that
have achieved environmental
protection or conservation
through partnering with others.
By presenting these awards, we
hope to encourage others in the
community to emulate the
methods and achievements of
the honorees, said Sweeney.
According to Sweeney, the
awards were first established in
1990, as an Earth Day project of
the Northeastern Pennsylvania
Environmental Partners. In the
time since, the awards have
become a highly coveted honor.
Their intent now, as it was then,
is to salute those who bring
diverse groups and individuals
together to solve problems of
common interest and to recog-
nize those who use partnering as
their primary method to achieve
environmental progress, she
added.
The Thomas P. Shelburne
Environmental Leadership was
established in1995, after Shel-
burne who was a highly re-
spected community leader, who
devoted himself, over four dec-
ades, to the protection and im-
provement of Pennsylvanias
environment. Each year, this
award honors an individual who
has devoted a large part of his/
her life to environmental protec-
tion and has proven to be an
inspiring leader and a champion
of partnering, said Sweeney.
This year, Belin will accept this
honor.

NorthernWine &Spirits, Inc. products are available
inmost of the areas restaurants, suchas Amici, Basil,

The product andthe producer speakfor them-
selves, whichis enough, but whenyoucouple that
withmypassion, mylove of life andpeople. Well, just
meet me for a glass anda laughandyoube the judge,
addedRinaldi.
Ive hada great interest inwines since the1980s
andbegancollectingwine aroundthe same time. I
grewupina homemade wine-makingfamily, which
bythe way, was quite goodfor dagored. Inthe late
1980s andearly1990s, I became involvedwithseveral
friends, wine andspirit inventors andmakers, dis-
tributors andsuperstars inthe industry. Simplyput in
1996, I was 33years oldandit was nowor never togo
for it andmake mymarkonthe world, he said.
All of the wine is producedat TyCatonVineyards
inSonoma, Calif. Whether youare aware or not,
Caton, the owner, has beenproducingsome of the best
andmost award-winningwines of Sonoma County
for the past 12years. This year he has reacheda pinna-

whyI chose Catontomake mywine andcollaborate

Rinaldi saidhe loves his workwithNorthernWine
&Spirits, Inc. andthe best part is hearingthe compli-
ments frompeople, novice andsommelier alike, and
knowingtheyappreciate the qualityof mywine.
However, Rinaldi saidstartinga wine companywas
incrediblydifficult andstill is.
I spent the better part of sevenyears visitinghun-
dreds of vineyards throughout several countries, al-
ways lookingfor a newor better brandfor mycompa-

Without the support of myolder brother andanin-

CLARKS SUMMIT- Cock-
tails for a Cause, Dr. Rebecca
Schoonovers seventh annual
fundraiser supporting blind-
ness research and honoring
her late friend, eye care pro-
fessional Thom Mann will be
held Oct. 22 at Amici, 1300
Morgan Hwy. Clarks Summit,
from 6 - 9 p.m.
Dr. Schoonover worked
with Mann as a colleague at
the Northeastern Eye Institute
before attending optometry
school. According to Schoo-
nover, Manns widow Lisa got
on board with the event right
away.
He (Mann) served as a
mentor and was very open to
sharing his knowledge with
me, she said. The event is
near and dear to our hearts in
so many ways. Thom was a
friend, husband and father
whose passion for helping
people will be continued
through the advancement of
vision research.
Tom Osborn, who is on the
committee for the third
straight year, shared his me-
mories of Mann.
He was a personal friend
of mine, Osborn said. He
was a terrific guy, great father
and outstanding eye care pro-
fessional. Weve all had rela-
tives and friends suffer blind-
ness or other eye diseases and
that has made us very pas-
sionate about the cause. Were
all very excited about the
event. It benefits two worthy
causes. I think people should
take a close look and come
out to support the cause.
A $40 donation entitles
guests to samplings from the
areas restaurants; open bar,
including martinis direct from
New York City, Miami and
Boston and live musical enter-
tainment by Christian Gratz.
Proceeds benefit Research to
Prevent Blindness, the leading
supporter of eye research
directed at the prevention,
treatment and eradication of
all diseases that threaten vi-
sion and the Scranton Blind
Association.
Along with Amici donating
its space, 10-15 local busi-
nesses will be donating food
and desserts.
It will be like a grand buf-
fet, Schoonover said. Its
cool to me that people would
do that. Our bartender is also
donating her services.
According to Schoonover,
the event has grown into a
success over the years.
Our first year we had the
event at a small townhouse
with tents set up in the yard,
she said. It was actually a
negative, because I didnt
know how to run a fundrais-
er, she said. Over the years,
through my membership with
the Junior League of Scran-
ton, Ive learned how to do a
fundraiser the right way.
The volunteers have put in
so many hours. Everybody
has been donating willingly of
their time.
The event had been held at
Jhons Place in Old Forge for
a few years, but Schoonover
thought moving it to the
Abingtons would maximize
its resources.
A lot of eye care profes-
sionals live in the area, she
said. We felt moving it to
Amici would make it bigger.
With all the volunteers help
its grown into its own realm.
As long as its a positive at the
end, Im happy.
Tickets will be sold at the
door or may be purchased
online through PayPal at
www.icare4eyes.com. Dona-
tions are also being accepted
online through PayPal at
www.icare4eyes.com. For
further details, call Dr. Schoo-
nover at 489.8733.
Through her practice and
charitable work, Schoonover,
O.D. puts patients concerns
first. After three years in com-
mercial eye care, she opened
her private practice, Schoo-
nover Eye Care, P.C. in Peck-
ville, as a way to reach more
patients with quality eye care.
The office specializes in
diagnosing and treating ocular
diseases, while offering cus-
tomer service and a selection
of more than 400 frames and
contact lenses. She has been
trained in both pediatric and
geriatric optometry. Her office
can diagnose and treat visual
problems such as near-sight-
edness, far-sightedness, astig-
matism and presbyopia. They
manage ocular diseases, in-
cluding glaucoma, cataracts,
macular degeneration, dia-
betes, cornea and retina prob-
lems. They can also prescribe
eyeglasses and contact lenses.
In addition to her private prac-
tice, Schoonover sees patients
at her secondary office at
Boscovs Optical, Scranton.
She is a member of the
Northeastern Pennsylvania
Optometric Society and recip-
ient of the Young O.D. of the
Year Award. She served on the
Pennsylvania Optometric
Associations public relations
committee and is an active
member of the Junior League
of Scranton. She is also a
member of Friends of the
Blind for the Lackawanna
Branch of the Pennsylvania
Association for the Blind.
Schoonover donates her
time to St. Josephs Center
and the Womens Resource
Center in Scranton. She sees
helping others as a way to
give back to the community.
With assisting in the creation
of Happy Birthday Hour,
she helps children at the
Womens Resource Center
receive a special gift on their
birthday. While serving on the
committee for the Cinderel-
las Closet event, Schoonover
assists women who are eco-
nomically unable to have a
special prom night.
A toast to a friend
Dr. Rebecca Schoonover with Marina, Josh and Lisa Mann. Lisa is
Thom Manns widow, Josh his 16- year- old son and Marina his 8-
year- old daughter. Oct. 22 will be the annual Cocktails for a Cause, Dr.
Rebecca Schoonovers seventh annual fundraiser supporting blindness
research and honoring her late friend and eye care professional Thom
Mann.

Its a rite of passage for an
Americangirl. WhenI was
young, beingone of four chil-
drenina female-dominated
family, mymomhada strict rule
onthe subject.
Youcanget your ears pierced
whenyouneeda bra. Shed
pause andreiterate: NEEDa
bar, not WEARa bra. Her
goals were two-fold: Get us
safelypast the rough-and-tum-
ble stage where a hoopearring
couldhypotheticallybe yanked
out inplay, andkeepus quiet on
the topic for as longas possible.
I thought that was a goodrule
tocarrythroughtothis gener-
ationandwas set uptopresent
the argument whenit became
necessary. Then, about a year
anda half ago, myyounger
sister presentedme witha prop-
osition.
Sofia is readytoget her ears
pierced. I thought it might be fun
for the girls togotogether. What
doyouthink? Dani andher
cousinSofia are four months
apart, withDani beingthe elder
of the two. At the time theywere
not quite nine yet andnoneed
for bras insight. Never being
one toquell cousin-bonding
though, I gave it a moments
thought. Mysister is a highly
respectedPhD, not knownfor
rashdecision-making, or for
lendingher childtoriskybehav-
ior. She explainedthat she had
done the researchandthat Pierc-
ingPagoda hadthe best track
recordfor employee trainingon
the subject as well as the small-
est number of customer com-
plaints. Eventhoughtheywere
comingintovisit for the week-
endfromNewYork, she provid-
edthe hours whenPiercing
Pagoda at the Viewmont Mall
wouldhave twostaff available.
This is key, she explained, to
gettingbothyour childs ears
done simultaneouslytoavoida
possible cryandrunsituation.
Noone wants their eight year
oldtohave just one piercedear.
Things went smoothlyand
Sofia andDani emergedfrom
the mall that winter day, holding
hands, wipingtears awayand
smilingtriumphantly. Old
enoughtolistencloselytothe
associates instructions, they
tooktheir cleaningandcare
instructions veryseriously, go-
ingabove andbeyondandstay-
inginfection-free withnohelp
fromtheir moms.
Laurenstartedmentioningher
desire totake the stepthis sum-
mer. Honey, I said, Youstill
have tobe helddownat the
doctors office for your flushot.
I dont thinkyoure ready. She
agreedandwe movedon. Then,
whenwe were back-to-school
shoppinglast month, I noticed
that her eyes were gluedtothe
familiar kioskas we passed. She
saidshe wantedtogoaheadwith
it andI agreed. We cementedher
second-in-line status, selected
her earrings andthensettledin
toobserve. The girl infront of
her was about her size. As soon
as the procedure was done, the
girl startedcrying. Laurens face
turnedpale andshe shookher
headfromside toside.
No she whispered.
Laurenstartedthirdgrade and
came home fromschool very
happyabout her teacher, class-
mates andsubjects. She only
hadone problem.
Mom, someone askedme
todaywhyI dont have myears
piercedyet. I explainedthat ear
piercingis far fromnecessary;
we all make these decisions for
ourselves andnot tolet other
kids pressure her. Withindays,
though, she was askingwhenwe
couldgobacktothe mall. The
whole familyhappenedtobe out
onerrands inDicksonCitythis
past weekendandLaurenasked
again.
Alright Lauren, myhusband
Dougsaid, We will go, but if
youdont followthroughandget
it done, youare not toaskagain
until at least your birthday. Do
youunderstand? That would
give us nearlyfour months to
avoidneedless mall visits.
Once inside the mall, Lauren
excitedlypickedout earrings
andpulledout her Ipodfor me to
take pictures. She surprisedus
all bycalmlygoingthroughwith
it, bravelywipingawaythe silent
tears that involuntarilyfell from
her cheeks andsmilingthrough
them.
Like her sister before her, she
tookher piercinghygiene rou-
tine seriously, proudlycomplet-
ingit more times per daythan
was necessary. She was soproud
tohave that bottle of solution
andthe glitteringlobes.clear
signs that she hadmade it
throughthis rite of passage.
NowI just hope this means I
wont have tochase her through
the pediatricians office onflu
shot day.

dings, reunions, gradua-
tion parties, bachelor
parties and a host of
events which average to
28 to 30 rentals per sea-
son. The rental fees
charged throughout the
year by the club help to
pay its financial obliga-
tions to the Lions Club
International, State and
Local; fund community
projects such as the an-
nual Breakfast with
Santa, food baskets
during the holidays and
eye glasses for children
from families in need.
The Lions Club is a
non-profit organization
and the Ransom Town-
ship Lions Club received
its charter in the 1970s,
according to Macheska.
The Ransom Township
Lions Club is not eligi-
ble for any help from
the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, or
FEMA, because Lacka-
wanna County was not
declared part of the di-
saster area, and the Li-
ons Club did not have
flood insurance since
the field is not located
in a flood plain and had
never flooded in the
past.
Among the amenities
available to renters at
the Ransom Township
Lions Club field are a
pavilion, rest rooms, a
softball field, volleyball
area and two horseshoe
pits with lights for
nighttime play. Most
people refer to this as
the baseball field be-
cause it has been here
forever, said Macheska.
Macheska said, Well
have it (the facility) nice
again and well bring it
back. Theres a lot of
work to do yet. We tried
going to the Lions In-
ternational and they
pushed us for some kind
of loan. Our club is not
that big, with 12 mem-
bers who are up in age.
Its a hard uphill battle...
The Lions Club is ask-
ing the community for
help in the form of do-
nations or donation of
materials. We also need
volunteers...
Among the items lost
or destroyed in the flood
were: a John Deere 400
Lawn Tractor; Interna-
tional Low Boy Tractor;
two Swisher Trail Mow-
ers; Honda 4120 48-inch
mower with bagger;
Lawn Boy 5 hp 20-inch
lawn mower; Troy Chip-
per/Vac mower; Home-
lite Weed Whacker;
1700- psi electric power
washer; Craftsman Leaf
Blower; Campbell Hau-
senfeld Air Compressor;
Craftsman 8 -amp Bat-
tery Charger; bench
grinder horse; volley-
ball net; Vulcan Com-
mercial Double Oven
Gas Stove; two-18 cubic
foot refrigerators; micro-
wave oven; 20 -gallon
electric water heater;
200- amp Electric ser-
vice panel with break-
ers; 17 sheets - inch
mold resistant sheet
rock; seven rolls R19
insulation; 15 gallons
exterior stain and three
gallons latex mold re-
sistant enamel paint for
the kitchen.
And with more than
14 events booked for
2012, repairs must be
completed by next years
rental season. We have
to get this done by next
year. We need volun-
teers, we need materials
and we need help.

to give the kids the best and
safest we can.

if Cuck could present more
financial information on the
field and Douglas Klamp added
supervisors would, Definitely
keep it in mind.
There will be a resolution
passed that makes the grounds

ed free fromPenn State Uni-
versity. There will be Young

the playground and township
property.
The Multi-Municipal Flood
and Water Project is a proposed
project to clean area streams.
The requested grant would
include $1.2 million per year for
three years, reaching a total of
$3.6 million. Township manag-
er Bill White remarked the

many board meetings he
came to it would probably
be astounding.
Jane Rigard made a mo-
tion to appoint Carol Sel-
wood to be the new school
director to replace Naylor.
It was seconded by Judith
Johnson. The board
agreed.
In his superintendents
report, superintendent Mat-
thew Rakauskas also ex-
pressed his gratitude for
Naylors 18 years of ser-
vice to the board of educa-
tion. Congratulations on
18 years and I wish him
well, said Rakauskas. At
the same time, although
shes not here tonight, Id
like to welcome Carol Sel-
wood to her newly appoint-
ed position on this board.
Also in his report, Ra-
kauskas mentioned that the
district hosted a productive
Act 80 Day, which featured
workshops throughout the
school district recently. He
thanked Rick Barone, a
retired guidance counselor,
for leading an anti-bullying
program workshop.
It fits very nicely with
our anti-bullying policy,
said Rakauskas. He also
mentioned that the Lacka-
wanna Trail Elementary
Center hosted a pink
dance to raise money for
breast cancer awareness
month.
We dont have a final
tally now, but a great deal
of money was raised for
breast cancer awareness
and research, all local, he
added. The dance was a
success.
In other news, high
school principal John
Rushefski began his sec-
ondary education report by
thanking Naylor for his
service. Hes always been
a friend to the high
school, said Rushefski.
Were going to miss him.
Rushefski also thanked the
board for supporting high
school trips, including a
ski trip to Stowe, Vt. from
February 2-4, 2012 for the
ski club.
In her special education
report, Leslie Harrington
also commented on Act 80
Day. She also said teachers
of grades K-3, general
education teachers and the
special education teachers
had a professional devel-
opment day helping chil-
dren with learning dis-
abilities through accommo-
dations in the general edu-
cation classroom.
In her curriculum and
resources report, curricu-
lum coordinator Janice
Joyce spoke of Act 80 Day.
She said that grades K-2
worked on changing of the
report cards. The report
cards will be going out the
beginning of November
with a new reading series,
Joyce said.
For grades 3-6, Joyce
said she taught the stu-
dents how to look up stu-
dent data and class data
using the program Member
Center.

cult economic times.
Those who will not be at

This will be the fifth drive

organized. In years past,
members from the cross coun-
try, soccer and football teams,
among others, have participa-
ted.
They have been very suc-
cessful, he said. Last year
we collected over 400,000
pounds of food just from kids
going door to door.

Clarks Summit, Pa. OCTOBER 19 TO OCTOBER 25, 2011 50
JERMYN- The Lakeland
High School football team
made visiting team Dun-
more work to stay undefeat-
ed this past Saturday,
Oct.15.
The Bucks got on the
scoreboard early, in their
19-6 victory over the
Chiefs, scoring on their
first possession, two min-
utes into the first quarter
for a 7-0 lead.
Austin Seamon, who fin-
ished the game over 200
yards rushing, made it into
the end zone for Dunmore
on a 14-yard run. Seamon
came up with 51 of his
yards, on three carries, dur-
ing the Bucks first posses-
sion.
I feel incredible, its the
first time I ever beat Lake-
land in my career, and I
really owe it to my blockers
tonight, said Seamon.
We knew how tough of a
team they were, we did a lot
of film studies on them.
The Chiefs showed that
toughness on their next pos-
session, answering right
back, and putting together a
11-play, 60 yard scoring
drive that ended with one-
yard Ryan Nichols touch-
down run.
On defense, Lakeland
kept Dunmore from scoring
again during the first half.
Lakeland, trailing 7-6,
looked poised to steal the
lead, moving the ball to the
Dunmores 2-yard line.
Quarterback Kyle Kiehart
handed the ball off to J.J.
Rojenches on fourth and
goal, but Dunmore stopped
him and the Chiefs turned
the ball over on the one-
yard line.
After forcing Dunmore to
punt on their following pos-
session, the Chiefs found
themselves in the red zone
again, but couldnt make it
into the end zone, turning
the ball over on downs on
the Bucks 10-yard line.
Dunmore extended their
lead to 13-6 in the third
quarter, scoring on a 1-yard
Jordan Dempsey quarter-
back keeper that capped off
a 13-play, 75-yard scoring
drive.
Forcing the Chiefs to punt
on their following posses-
sion, Dempsey found his
way to the end zone again,
on the Bucks following
possession, on a 2-yard run
to give the team a 19-6 lead
they held on to.
The now 4-3 Chiefs will
try and bounce back from
the loss this Friday when
they take travel to take on
Honesdale High School.

Eric Montella made it through his sec-
ond playoff in less than two weeks Mon-
day, Oct. 17, landing a spot in the Penn-

ation Golf Championships in the process.
The senior fromAbington Heights High
School shot a 7-over-par, 79 in the PIAA
East Regional at Golden Oaks Golf Club in
Fleetwood to tie three other players for the
final three available spots.
Montella was in the exact same spot 12
days earlier in the District 2 Champion-
ships at Elmhurst Country Club.
The left-hander is part of a large group
fromDistrict 2 that will be involved in the
championships Oct. 24-25 at Heritage

Both PIAAEast Regional boys cham-
pionships were won by District 2 entries.

CLARKS SUMMIT Tyra
Abdalla and Allie Pusateri
played the roles of bracket
busters for two days in the
District 2-4 Class AAA girls
tennis doubles tournament.
Their Abington Heights
High School teammates,
Courtney Ostrowski and
Alexa Abdalla, however,
eventually came away with
the gold medals Oct. 12 at the
Birchwood Racquet Club.
The sixth-seeded team of
Tyra Abdalla and Pusateri
knocked off the tournaments
third and second seeds before
winning the first set from the
top seeds in the final.
Ostrowski and Alexa Ab-
dalla recovered for a 6-7
(4-7), 6-1, 6-1 victory.
They were playing amaz-
ing, Alexa Abdalla said.
They were hitting some
shots weve never seen be-
fore.
They deserved to win that
first set.
Ostrowski and Alexa Ab-
dalla had lost just six games
in six sets while advancing to
the finals. They faced famil-
iar players when the finals
turned into an all-Abington
Heights match for the second
straight year.
Were used to it because in
practice, we always play each
other, said Ostrowski, who
was part of the championship
doubles team for the second
straight year. When it comes
down to a competitive thing,
its kind of tough.
Tyra Abdalla, Alexas sister,
and Pusateri started Wednes-
day with their second straight
upset. They beat second-seed-
ed Annette Deutsch and Sarah
Lehman of Wallenpaupack,
6-4, 6-4.
Ostrowski and Alexa Ab-
dalla, who started Wednes-
days action by breezing past
Maggie Manchester and
Trisha Synoracki of William-
sport, 6-1, 6-0, will play in

After losing in the Class AAA dis-
trict championship game last season,
the Abington HeightsHigh School soc-
cer team is hungry for another chance
at the district title.
With senior goalie Connor Pacyna in
front of the net, the Comets have an
opportunity to reach their goals.
I feel that we have a solid chance at
winning the district championship,
said Pacyna.
Abington Heights coach Steve Kling-
man attributed a lot of the teams suc-
cess to Pacyna.
Hes a smart keeper who knows the
position, Klingman said. He comes
up with big saves when we need them.
Pacyna lives with his parents Mari
and Gary Pacyna in Clarks Summit. He
started playing soccer when he was 5
and played with most of the current
high school teammates since age seven.
He did not play goalie until age nine.
When Pacyna played for a travel team,
the Abington Ambush, his teammate
suffered heat exhaustion and had to
leave the game.
The coach asked if anyone wanted
to play goalie so I raised my hand,
Pacyna said. Ive loved it ever since.
Pacyna said he enjoys the contact and
physical play of the goalie position.
He has good hands and hes fear-

SCRANTON- Cavaliers quarter-
back Griff DiBileos 19-yard touch-
down pass to Tom Burke with un-
der a minute remaining in the first
quarter held up as the game-winner
as Scranton Prep edged Abington
Heights 6-2 in a LFC Division 1
game at Scranton Memorial Stadi-
um Oct. 15.
Burke made a great catch,
Scranton Prep head coach Nick
Donato said. Tommy just went up
and got the ball and Griff (DiBileo)
put the ball where he had to put it.
Today was a tough day for of-
fenses with the weather. Trying to
throw the ball with the wind or
against the wind was very diffi-
cult.
Abington Heights threatened to
get on the scoreboard late in the
first quarter, driving the ball down
to the Cavaliers 17-yard line, but
Brandon Pacyna missed on a 34-
yard field goal attempt after Scran-
ton Prep linebacker Marshall Ku-
pinksi sacked Comets quarterback
Dante Pasqualichio for an 8-yard
loss.
A host of Comets defenders
tackled Kupinski in the end zone
for a safety early in the second half
for the only Abington Heights
points.
Im happy with the effort (from
the defense), Abington Heights
head coach Joe Repshis said. The
kids played hard for 48 minutes.
That is something we can take
away from the game as a positive.
With the Cavaliers facing a
fourth-and-one from their own
31-yard line, Donato sent his of-
fense back on the field. It nearly
backfired when DiBileo fumbled
the exchange, but running back
Clem Rinaldi grabbed the loose
ball and picked up the first down.
Clem made a real big play when
we gambled, Donato said. Thank ABINGTON JOURNAL/STEPHANIE WALKOWSKI

RANSOM TWP. - This
month, Lackawanna Trail
School Districts Colin
Domnick tasted victory for
the second time on the
state level, winning the
12-year-old American Bi-
cycle Association (ABA)
Pennsylvania State Cham-
pionship at Cedar BMX in
Ransom.
The feeling of winning
the title was not anything
new for Domnick, who
won the 11-year-old ABA
State Championship last
year. But even though it
was familiar, he said victo-
ry tasted just as sweet.
It feels really good, I
was really excited. I
worked really hard for it,
said Domnick.

who is champion. Domnick
finished the year with 56
points at the ABA State
Championship races, held
at Cedar BMX the week-
end of Oct. 1 and 2, to end
the year on top of his com-
petition.
Domnick said he was
confident coming into the
year that he could win the
title again, and he put in
the work necessary to re-
peat.
In addition to racing
twice a week on Thursdays
and Saturdays at Cedar
BMX, he said he also did a
lot of push-ups, sit-ups,
pull-ups and sprints on his
bike on a dirt road behind
his house in East Benton
to get ready for the season
and defend his title.
The now two-time state
champion credited the hard
work and a love for the
sport with his success.
Domnick began racing
four years ago, after re-
ceiving a BMX bike for his
birthday. The bike came
with a one-day free mem-
bership to Cedar BMX, so
he brought his birthday
present to the track and
almost instantly fell in love
with the sport.
I love the intensity of it.
Its the fastest pace sport
Ive ever done. I used to
play baseball, basketball
and football, but I quit
those other sports for rac-
ing, said Domnick.
All the action of BMX
took over.
It was that action and
excitement that helped
Domnick stick with it
when he first started, and
was just learning the sport.
He also credited an abun-
dance of encouragement
and support from those
around him as to why he
stuck with it.
Personally, I dont think
I was very good when I
first started, said Dom-
nick.
My parents (Kim and
Nicholas Domnick)
thought I had potential,
and encouraged me to keep
with it. It worked out. And,
the older kids at the track
helped me a lot too.
Today Domnick rides a
custom made G.H.P. (Greg
Hill Products) bike, which
was designed by Domnick
and his father, and assem-
bled by Dave Jons from
Cedar Bike Shops in Dick-
son City and Scranton, also
one of the track sponsors.
As the season wraps up,
Domnick will be putting
his bike away soon for a
few months and taking out
his snowboard, which he
said he enjoys doing dur-
ing the break in the sea-
son.
And, he assures that that
is just a break, as he plans
to continue to compete
again next year, and be-
yond, with his ultimate
goal to participate in the
Olympics.
Cedar BMX is located at
1826 Red Barn Village
Rd., Clarks Summit. For

of the drive slipping into
the flats for a 16-yard gain
and Tomasetti ran four times
for 15 yards. The duo com-
bined to rush for 163 yards
on 25 carries with Febbo
going over the 100-yard
mark with 111 yards. All
told, Old Forge rushed for a
season-high 415 yards on the
night a credit to its quickly
developing line of Joey Bru-
no, Paul Papi, Tyler Clark,
Anthony Trotta and Ryan
Paulish.
The Blue Devils defense
continued to get it done,
stopping the Lions on three
plays after Rosiak and Lay-
tos combined for 12 yards to
pick up Trails first, first
down of the game. Then on
third-and-7, Carey electri-
fied the crowd.
Stepping up in the pocket
to survey the field at about
his own 25-yard line, the
senior signal caller took off
up the middle of the field
and picked up the first
down. But Carey wasnt
done. After getting by the
first wave of defenders to
the Old Forge 40, the first-
year starter turned on his
jets and went the distance,
play, 80-yard drive with a
35-yard touchdown run
down the visitors sideline
one play after Dave Argust
turned a high snap on a punt
formation into an 11-yard
gain to give Old Forge a
first down. Matt Mancuso
drilled the first of five extra-
points on the night and the
Blue Devils led 7-0 with
2:39 left in the first quarter.
The defense held Trail
(5-2 overall, 0-2 LFC) again
to just three downs and punt,
but Carey fumbled the ball
on Old Forges next play
while trying to avoid pres-
sure from the Lions. On the
next play, Rosiak went 48
yards on an inside reverse to
get the pre-season favorites
within 7-6 when the extra
point snap was botched.
The Blue Devils again
went on a methodical drive,
reeling off 12 plays to go 76
yards before Carey found
paydirt with 6:53 left in the
quarter for the 14-6 lead.
The drive was fueled by
the running of senior Lou
Febbo and junior Brian To-
masetti. Febbo carried four
times for 22 yards and
caught the only pass attempt

Crew from Old Forge dom-
inated every facet of the
game in a 37-6 victory
Lackawanna Trail High
School in an important
Lackawanna Football Con-
ference Division III game at
Veterans Memorial Stadium
Oct. 14.
The Old Forge Blue Devils
defense set the tone early,
forcing a three-and-out se-
ries to open the game as
defensive end Cory Stuart
and linebacker Jorden Sekol
made big stops as Old Forge
swarmed to the Lions, bruis-
ing rushing combination of
Marvess Rosiak and Eric
Laytos.
Old Forge (5-2 overall, 2-0
LFC) gave the ball right
back after a three-and-out,
but Sekol came up with two
more stops on the ensuing
Trail possession and the
Lions were forced to punt
again.
From there the Blue Dev-
ils offense went into high
gear.
Colin Carey capped a 12-
sprinting between Trail de-
fenders all the way to the
endzone for the 76-yard
touchdown and a 21-6 lead
with 2:46 left before in-
termission. Carey who was
also named Homecoming
King at halftime - finished
the night with 144 yards
rushing on 11 carries, and
also threw for 114 yards.
Another senior got in on
the act when Argust inter-
cepted Zach Goodrichs
third-down pass on the ensu-
ing possession to set up Old
Forge at their own 39. After
a five-yard penalty on the
Blue Devils for illegal pro-
cedure, Carey hit Argust in
stride for a 66-yard scoring
strike, and a 28-6 lead with
1:46 left in the second quar-
ter.
Old Forge had one more
shot to add to its lead in the
first half when Sekol reco-
vered a fumble at the Trail
25, but a holding penalty
nullified a 25-yard touch-
down run by Febbo, and the
Lions held the Blue Devils
to go into the locker room
down 28-6.
The Blue Devils opened
the second half with a six-
play drive to the Lions 10-
yard line on a 17-yard run
by Febbo, and a 35-yard
scamper by Tomasetti. But a
fumble on second down gave
the ball to Trail at its own
10.
Three plays later the Lions
were forced to punt, and
after a high snap allowed the
Old Forge defense to jail-
break into the endzone, Trail
punter Pete Murazzi stepped
on the line in the back of the
endzone for a safety before
Jake Manetti blocked the
kick.
The safety was the only
score of the third quarter,
and the Blue Devils led 30-6
heading into the final stan-
za.
On their final possession
of the game, Old Forge
scored again as Febbo bust-
ed through the right side of
the line and sprinted 42
yards down the home side-
line and into the endzone for
the final touchdown.

The Abington Junior
Comets competed in their
annual regional competition
in early October .
The South Division of the
Northern Area Junior Foot-
ball League (NAJFL) compe-
tition was held Oct. 1 at West
Scranton. The North Division
competition was held Oct. 8
at Abington Heights High
School. Abington has both a
South and a North team, due
to the large number of mem-
bers on their squad.
Each cheerleading squad is
split into three age groups
encompassing second
through sixth grade. Each
team performs three cheers,
the Hello cheer, the
Hometown cheer and the
Dance cheer.
The South competition
included teams from the fol-
lowing school districts: West
Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Val-
ley View, North Scranton,
Abington Heights, and Mon-
roe. The Comets A South
team, comprised of seventh
and eighth graders, took two
seconds and a third place.
The Comets B South
team, including fifth and
sixth graders, took first place
in all three cheers. The
Comets C South team, com-
prised of second through
fourth graders, took a first
and two seconds. Valley
Views A, B and C teams
were highly competitive.
Their A team placed first in
all three cheers; their B team
placed second in all three
cheers and their C team dis-
placed Abington for two
firsts, followed up by a sec-
ond.
The North Division is
comprised of teams from
Western Wayne, Lackawanna
Trail, Tunkhannock, Carbon-
dale, Blue Ridge and Abing-
ton Heights. The Comets
North team nearly swept the
competition. Both the A and
B teams took first place in
all three cheers. The younger
C team won two firsts and a
second, being displaced from
the top spot only in their
dance cheer by the squad
from Carbondale.
All those practices actual-
ly paid off, said Sydney
Dana, 12, an Abington
Heights Middle School sev-
enth grader who competed
for the Comets A Team
North. I love everything
about being on the team. Its
all about being with friends
and working hard together.
Sportsmanship is really im-
portant too. All the teams
show good sportsmanship but
the Western Wayne Wildcats
were really great. They
cheered us on and came and
talked to us too.
The Wildcats won the
competitions Spirit Award
for excellent sportsmanship
this year at the North compe-
tition.
The Abington Junior
Comets cheerleaders started
practices in mid-July this
year. The girls were coached
by graduates of the program
who are now cheerleading
for the Abington Heights
High School or at the college
level, as well as by volunteer
moms.
Its really challenging,
Sandy Dana, an A Team
coach explained. We start
off in July practicing four
nights a week and weve
gone to mandatory practices
four or five nights a week
for the past few weeks. The
girls work so hard, but it
feels really good when its all
done.
The Abington Junior
Comets will continue to
cheer at their divisions
weekly football games for
the rest of the season.

unable to produce any points.
We played very good de-

played hard.
