The Clarks Summit Fire Compa-
ny hosted an All You Can Eat
Breakfast With Santa.
See page A4.
A breakfast
to remember
During the Rotary Club of
the Abingtons weekly meeting
at The Inn at Nichols Village
on Thursday, Dec. 15, Rotarian,
JimBrogna, organizer of the
clubs annual Santa Giving
Program, was making his list
and checking it twice.
As his fellowRotarians ar-
rived with wrapped Christmas
presents in hand, Brogna re-
ferred to his list that included
the names of more than 80
children fromthe North Scran-
ton Head Start who will receive
gifts donated by members of
the club. Brogna initiated the
idea of the programto the club
more than five years ago.
One of the women, Carol,
who works at Head Start for a
number of years reached out to
me, Brogna said. I thought
maybe my employer (Allied
Services) could help knowing
that we have so many employ-
ees that they thought they could
assist with something special
for the kids at the Head Start on
this particular holiday. I repre-
sent Allied at Rotary and in the
community ...and a half dozen
of my colleagues adopt head
start children and buy gifts
(through the Rotary effort) in
lieu of exchanging gifts for
each other.
Imactive in the Rotary
Club and we always do things
for the community, he added.
Maybe this would be some-
thing our Rotarians would be
interested in. I brought it (the
idea) to the group knowing that
the club already had a track
record for giving. The North
Scranton Head Start, which
includes economically disad-
vantaged kids fromthis (our)
community, kids are already
obviously pre-qualified based
on their familys economic
disadvantage. The whole goal
of Head Start is giving these
kids an equal opportunity
maybe that little preschool
jump start to get themgoing.
These kids are the happiest
kids in the world. They dont
knowwhat they dont have.
The list has grown to include
more than double the number
of children fromthe inception
of the program. There might
have been 35 to 40 kids the
first yearso they (Head Start)
combined their forces (morn-
ing and afternoon programs)
and I think two years ago, we
doubled the amount of gifts we
gave to the kids. I think we
have more than 80 kids this
year, Brogna continued.
The gifts are sorted in groups
and the Head Start distributes
them, and Obviously, they
come fromSanta, said Brog-
na.
Brogna hands the childrens
wish lists to Rotary members
and tells themwhen the gifts
are due. Members have the
opportunity to pick a childs
name fromthe list.
Our members feel so ful-
filled doing this for a child in
need, said Brogna. If every-
body did something for one
child thats underprivileged,
you knoweveryone is going to
have a great Christmas.

The magic of the Chanu-
kah season will set the stage
for an upcoming Chanukah
Miracle of Magic program
at the Jewish Community
Center of Scranton, 601 Jef-
ferson Ave., Scranton on
Tuesday, Dec. 27 at 5:30
p.m.
Chanukah Miracle of
Magic is the theme of this
years annual celebration.
Illusionist Mark Clark, of
Aardvark Entertainment, a
full-service entertainment
company, performs locally,
in the Poconos and national-
ly and will entertain the
audience with a variety of
magic tricks. Other activities
planned for the evening of
family fun include a balloon
sculptor, dreidel games,
Chanukah crafts and a spe-
cial performance by the
Scranton Hebrew Day
School Junior Choir singing
Chanukah songs.
According to Daniel J.
Cardonick, JCC executive
director, We will light the
menorah and enjoy kosher
Chinese food.
I like to jokingly say that
Chanukah fits into the
theme of many Jewish holi-
days They tried to kill us;
they failed; we persevered;
lets eat. Chanukah com-
memorates the miracle of
light, he said. It marks the
Jewish rebels victory
against the Syrian-Greek
army, which oppressed the
Jews and desecrated the
Temple in Jerusalem. At the
time when the Jews reded-
icated the temple, there was
very little oil left that had
not been defiled by the Syr-
ian-Greek army. Oil was
needed for the menorah in
the Temple which was sup-
posed to burn throughout the
night every night. There was
only enough oil to burn for
one day, yet miraculously, it
burned for eight days, the
time needed to prepare a
fresh supply of oil for the
menorah. An eight-day fes-
tival was declared to com-
memorate this miracle. Cha-
nukah is about celebrating
miracles, and magic is a
Miracle

The Abington Lions Club
is looking for elves to help
with next years Santas
visits.
At one time, the drivers
did 20 to 25 stops per night.
This year unfortunately we
had to cut the route down
due to a lack of volunteers,
said Mark Kusma, the
Abington Lions Club Past
President and 2nd Vice
District Governor of District
14-H.
Currently, the Abington
Lions Club has 31members
and will celebrate its 50th
anniversary of Santa visits
in 2012.
We would visit close to
450 kids, Kusma added.
Thats where weve run into
the problem. As some of the
club members have ma-
tured, theyre not able to
participate like they used to.
Weve been doing this for
49 years. Weve had to scale
back the number of routes
so were not going out to
Dalton and Waverly. Trips
were limited to the Clarks
Summit, Clarks Green and
Chinchilla. This year Santa
visited132 kids. Our hope is
to return back to 450 chil-
dren ballpark but we need to
get more people who are
willing to help with Santa
visits.
In previous years, Santa
routes included visits to
homes in S. Abington
Township, Clarks Summit,
Newton and RansomTown-
ships, Dalton, Waverly,
Clarks Green and Glenburn.
Kusma joined the Lions
Club in 2007 because in
December 2005, someone
called me to say theres a
bad stormand we need a
four-wheel drive. Can you
drive Santa? So I did and I
thought its the greatest
thing in the world. Shortly
after that, I took over the
Santa project and one of the
things we did was to get
away fromthe donation
requests.

Chairman
(aka Presi-
dent) of the
Abington
Regional
Wastewater
Authority
Don Snyder
does his best
to uphold the organizations
mission statement. It reads:
Our community and our own
biological viability depend on
clean water. Our communities
use water for drinking, clean-
ing, manufacturing and trans-
porting waste out of our neigh-
borhoods. If not for a waste-
water treatment plant, that river
of waste would pollute Leg-
getts Creek and Lackawanna
River, Susquehanna River and
Chesapeake Bay on its way to
the Atlantic Ocean. Instead, we
collect and treat the waste and
convert it back into clean wa-
ter, in effect recycling it back
into the environment where it
once again is a natural re-
source.
Its not an easy job, but one
Snyder takes to heart. I have
been involved in health and
safety of my friends, neighbors
and residents of this communi-
ty for almost all of my adult
life. Its a career and a commit-
ment to helping people make
decisions that lead to a safer
and happier future, said Snyd-
er.
On howthis approach affects
the ARWA, Snyder explained
that his approach toward the
Wastewater Authority is to do
the same and make thoughtful
decisions that help us live safer
and happier lives in the long
run and to work to explain
challenges and decisions to
people interested in the proc-
ess. In that regard, Snyder feels
they organization is going the
extra mile by placing as much
information as possible on the
ARWAs newwebsite: www.a-

Favorite place in the world: Hawaii
Favorite book: Dale Dubins Rapid Interpretation of

My greatest achievment: Along with my brother and
emergency service workers, the rescue of a man trapped
under a crain. The crain lost its brakes and he sideswiped
over 20 parked cars, to stop the crain from crashing into
Coopers Restaurant. The crain rolled over, trapping him
and many of the cars caught on fire. Burning fuel ran
down the side of the road and under the crain. It was a
successful rescue. Also, training people to work in
emergency services, such as EMTs, paramedics, rescue,
fire and American Heart Association advanced as well as
basic life support programs.

All contributions benefit the
programs and services of the

The Memories in the Mak-
ing art program originated in
California in 1988 at the Alz-
heimers Association Orange
County Chapter. Since those
early days, additional research
supports the power of the
program and explains more
about why it works.
MIM bypasses the dominant
verbal aspects of brain func-
tion and taps directly into the
interior world of the dementia
patient. The person with de-
mentia, overwhelmed by an
inability to articulate, can give
a voice to this inner world
through the use of art materi-
als. By providing a Memories
in the Making art class with
trained facilitators, the associ-
ation provides that person
with a symbolic language of
art and opens up a new chan-
nel for communication for
care-giving staff and family.
MIM focuses on the individu-
als remaining strengths and
promotes well being.
The MIM program asserts
that everyone is an artist and
art is an avenue that can be
used as a means of self-ex-
pression for anyone. Through
MIM, participants also devel-
op a social network of friends
who are also challenged by
the changes associated with
dementia.

formance.
Clark describes himself as
a clown, magician, stilt
walker, balloon sculptor, fire
eater, puppeteer, a living
statue and hypnotist. He will
do close-up magic and gear
his show to the audience.
Basically, there will be
things appearing and dis-
appearing, comedy and may-
be some jugglingWell
see, he said.
His wife, Georgette, co-
owner of Aardvark Enter-
tainment, is a face painter,
stilt walker, juggler and face
painter. She is my lovely
assistant when I do the big
magic shows when I make
her appear and disappear,

his performance appeals to
adults and children alike and
adds to the ruach, or spirit,
(ruach is the Hebrew word
for spirit) to our event.

One of the holiday tra-
ditions my family enjoys
year after year is that of
the giving and receiving
of Christmas cards. Years
ago, it was simple.
Our card would come
out of a box off the
clearance rack or if we
were feeling ambitious, it
would feature a photo of
our one and only depend-
ent at the time, a lab mix
named K.D.
These days, however, we
adhere to the unwritten
law that compels all par-
ents of small children to
send out photo cards of
their adorable, smiling
faces.
Some years, receiving
these cards is easier than
sending them. It is rare
when late November rolls
around and we just hap-
pen to have a fantastic
family photo, one where
we all look presentable.
I am a stickler for try-
ing to include all the
family members in the
photo, not just the chil-
dren.
That stems from the
fact that I hope to receive
the same. I care not only
about how my old college
roommates children look
after all these years. I
want to see her, too, and
that husband of hers.
After all, I knew them
long before they had chil-
dren and Im curious
about how they are doing
beyond their offspring. So
I make a point of getting
my husband and myself
and the dogs in the pho-
to.
This year, we had a late
start. Our third child was
born in mid-November
and, of course, I wanted
the baby in the photo.
We might as well multi-
task and use the annual
Christmas card as a birth
announcement. Still reco-
vering and lost in a haze
of infant-induced sleep-
lessness, I addressed my
family on the way to cel-
ebrate Thanksgiving at my
moms house.
Now, when we arrive,
do not go inside until we
get nana to take a family
photo. Do you under-
stand? This was met
with a cacophony of aw,
mom! (s), the loudest
coming from my husband.
Unfortunately, when I got
home later and excitedly
downloaded the photos, I
was disappointed to see
they were far from Christ-
mas card material. My
husband had put on more
baby weight than I had,
and between our pale
bloated faces and the
fussy-looking baby, we
needed to go back to the
drawing board.
Over the next couple of
weeks, every time we had
company, I asked our
guests to take a family
photo of us. Once, I even
tried the self-timer option.
But getting three children
(one who was too young
to be bribed or threat-
ened), two dogs and a
couple of parents to all
photograph well at once
was too much for this
family. I had long given
up on trying to get them
to dress in red and green
for the photo. Our final,
futile attempts have Dani
in the Eagles jersey shed
slept in and Doug in his
hunting camouflage.
At my wits end with
the holiday quickly ap-
proaching, I settled for
one of those card display
options where you put
several different photos
on one card, so everyone
doesnt have to look good
in a single shot. And the
dogs unfortunately did not
make the cut. I ordered
125 without enthusiasm
for the finished product
as the first few from
friends and family were
delivered in our mail. The
first one I opened was of
a beautiful family on a
beach somewhere, prob-
ably Marthas Vineyard.
All dressed in starched
white shirts and faded
blue jeans, their golden
hair was shining like only
a professional photog-
rapher could make it. I
stared, slack-jawed, at
their beauty, convinced
every part of their lives
must be this perfect. I
felt guilty that their seem-
ingly ideal existence made
mine seem messy and
chaotic.
Post Script: Having just
made it through a high-
risk pregnancy with some
very difficult moments, I
must once again credit
our little corner of the
world. The love and sup-
port extended to us
throughout these past
months was astounding.
From the countless din-
ners that were made for
us, the carpools that were
taken over, the errands
run, the gifts of new and
used baby supplies and
overall concern and care,
we are very lucky to live
in a truly supportive com-
munity where people are
endlessly generous.

Abington Heights High
School won the 2011-2012
NEIU Scholastic Bowl, ad-
vancing to the state competi-
tion in Harrisburg in the
spring. The competition will
be televised by WVIA-TV.
The kids are really excited
at the opportunity to represent
Abington Heights at the state
competition, coach Tom
Lavelle said. They had a
really close final match
against Scranton High School
that was decided by just one
question.
Lavelle, also a Spanish
teacher and boys and girls
head tennis coach, is in his
seventh year leading the team.
Three years ago, Abington
Heights also won the Radis-
son competition and was the
runner-up at states.
The Scholastic Bowl is an
academic competition for
high school juniors and se-
niors.
Teams participate in two
competitions to determine
who will move on to the
semifinals.
The top three teams com-
pete in a final competition
and are honored at the annual
Scholar of the Year banquet.
I knew we had a talented
team, but the interesting thing
about the Scholastic Bowl is
that often times youre com-
peting against the four bright-
est kids from each school,
Lavelle said. The kids were
motivated to keep trying
hard.
The team also participates
in the WVIA Scholastic
Bowl.

Lions Club president added,
Whether they are rich or poor,
the kids are all the same. People
say, Youre nice for doing
this but what we take out of
it is a lot more than we put into
it. Its about the camaraderie
and seeing the kids eyes light
upthats what makes it all
worthwhile, said Skinner,
He added, We need the people/
volunteers ahead of time
The planning process for the
Santa visits gets underway
months before Santa actually
gears up and heads off to visit
local children, according to
Skinner, and involves purchas-
ing gifts that Santa gives to each
child on his routes.
We gave large coloring
books to kids four and up, regu-
lar size coloring books to two to
three-year-olds, and pop-up
(non-coloring) books to 0 to
one-year olds, said Kusma.
The Lions Club purchases the
books.
Among the projects The
Abington Lions Club is in-
volved with throughout the year
include the Adopt a Highway
project on Routes 6 &11; coffee
stops on I-81, usually on the
northbound side four times per
year on Memorial Day, Labor
Day, the Fourth of July and
Thanksgiving; the fishing der-
by; and scholarships to kids
graduating fromAbington
Heights School District.
Skinner said, One of the
things about the Lions Club that
I always stand very proudly on
is that every single solitary cent
we get fromthe public goes
back to the public
To lend a hand with the 2012
Santa visits, call Kusma at
570.575.4925, and to learn
more about The Abington Li-
ons Club, visit AbingtonLion-
s.org.
Were always looking for
people who are willing to vol-
unteer and newmembers who
are interested in enhancing and
giving back to the community.
Our goal for next year is to be
able to staff the project so we
can return to the normal service
area that includes the Waverly,
Dalton and Newton and Ran-
somareas , said Kusma.

to others at an early age. The Keystone College Op-
penheim Family Childrens Center recently conducted
a food drive to help those affected by the recent
flooding. The three-week drive, coordinated by Chil-
drens Center teacher Erin Srebro, collected non-per-

In fact, we held a public
presentation to explain what lies
ahead in the planning and devel-
opment of our upgrade and its
impact on the community and
the entire presentation video is
available to our ratepayers and
local officials. Very fewmunici-
pal authorities have gone to such
lengths to share information,
said Snyder.
Snyder has been with ARWA
for almost three years and is a
five-year board member of the
Abington Municipal Authority.
Our task is to make hard deci-
sions froma financial and envi-
ronmental standpoint. We have
to balance the responsibilities
for Clarks Green and Clarks
Summit, which are essentials
built-out, and South Abington
Township which is likely to
growconsiderably over the next
20-30 years, Snyder stated. He
also explained howon top of
that are environmental require-
ments that are non-negotiable
and enforced by the state and
federal government. While
planning for present and future
demands, he believes it impor-
tant to stay focused on commu-
nicating as much information as
possible with the customer.
Snyder is most proud of the
decision made to hire the best
professional engineering firm
they could find to help guide
themand their ratepayers
through a challenging time. As a
result, they have been able to
secure grant funding, mitigate
restrictions that were placed on
three municipalities by DEP, and
reduce the occasions when
untreated sewerage is bypassed
through the plant and into Leg-
getts Creek.
Snyder maintains that he is
willing to serve the way his
peers want himto, but that he is
also ready to support someone
who is ready to step up and do
whatever it takes to keep volun-
teers working and sharing the
responsibility as a team.
Snyder is a career agent with
Baltimore Life Insurance Com-
panies who holds numerous
certifications for prior jobs.
He was a patrolman for
Clarks Green borough and fire-
fighter for Clarks Summit and
Chinchilla fire departments. He
then joined Community Med-
ical Center in Scranton as a
paramedic. He moved to Com-
munity Life Support Systems,
Inc. of Clarks Summit as vice
president and operations man-
ager. In1996, he became an
independent insurance agent by
earning his PAAccident and
Health and Fixed Annuities
license. In 2007, he joined Lack-
awanna College as paramedic
administrator and local instruc-
tor. Hes also formerly vice
president of the credit union at
CMC.
Snyder resides in South
Abington Township with his
wife, Daria, who is a registered
nurse and with his son, Don, jr.,
23 and daughter Ashley, 27. He
looks forward to one day having
grandchildren.

ArtsEtc...
Christmas is just a couple
of days away, and excitement
surrounding the big day is
definitely mounting, espe-
cially for my family. You see,
my little niece Audrey El-
izabeth will celebrate her
first Christmas with us here
in Tunkhannock. And I cant
wait. It will be a joyous time.
When she gets older, you can
count on the fact that her
uncle and I will take her to
the Dietrich during holiday
visits for a movie or two. If
she were old enough now, we
would definitely have to see
Alvin and the Chipmunks:
Chip-Wrecked.
I know, I know, kids mo-
vies are not for everyone, but
dont fear, Hildy and Jeffrey
have brought in three other
movies for the holidays. You
can watch Robert Downey,
Jr. and Jude Law on the big
screen as Holmes and Wat-
son in the new flick Sher-
lock Holmes: A Game of
Shadows. Another thriller
that we are showing is The
Girl with the Dragon Tat-
too. I have read all of the
books in the Stieg Larsson
trilogy and am looking for-
ward to seeing the American
movie version of the first
book. Did I mention Daniel
Craig plays the role of Mi-
kael Blomkvist? For some
folks, myself included, that is
reason enough to see a mo-
vie.
We will also bring in We
Bought a Zoo, starring Matt
Damon and Scarlett Johans-
son this Friday, Dec. 23. This
movie looks super family-
friendly and heart-warming.
There are lots of movie op-
tions at the Dietrich for
Christmas.
And if you are still looking
for a present for almost any-
one on your Christmas list,
Dietrich movie bags make
great gifts. Each bag is beau-
tifully wrapped and contains
two movie tickets, two bags
to bring in for the Dietrichs
famous popcorn and two
bags of candy. They make
wonderful presents for em-
ployees, teenagers, families,
etc., and there is nothing
quite like an evening at the
movies spent together. Gift
bags can be purchased at the
theater during movie show
times. Please call the theater
at 996.1507 for more in-
formation about movie bags
or to purchase bags during
our office hours.
During Christmas break,
our artists-in-residence Amy
and Steve Colley will offer a
Holiday Camp for young
artists ages five to 12, from
9:30 to 11 a.m. on December
27, 28 and 29. Students will

Local author Nancy McDo-
nald takes a look back at the
impact Scranton audiences
had in the arts in her new
book If You Can Play Scran-
ton-A Theatrical History,
1871-2010.
McDonald will sign copies
of her book, a theatrical histo-
ry of America as seen through
the famous performers who
came to the Scranton area
between the years 1871 to
2010, at the Steamtown Na-
tional Historic Site on Sat-
urday, Dec. 24 at 11 a.m.
The main purpose I wrote
it is that so we dont lose the
history, said McDonald.
They spend a lot of time
talking about the coal mines
and industry, but nobody did
the art section until I did. And
thats why I wanted to do it,
because I just didnt think it
should be lost.
A summa cum laude gradu-
ate of Marywood University,
McDonald started the book as
the thesis for her masters
degree. She reworked it into a
book and published it in 1981.
The book was well received
upon its initial release and, at
the urging of a friend, she
decided to update it.
I rewrote some, and added
information to the earlier
chapters, said McDonald.
I added the chapter on
That Championship Season
and the last chaptergoes
through the people at Mon-
tage.
The title of the book comes
from the old saying- If you
can play Scranton, you can
play anywhere, popular in the
turn of the century among
performers when Scranton
was a must-stop destination
for anyone trying out a new
play or different act.
Nowadays, it doesnt pay;
its cheaper to open it on
Broadway and gamble, but the
days of the turn of the century
they would try out in different
towns, said McDonald.
And, Scranton was one of
those towns that was sophisti-
cated enough because they
had so much theater, and they
had so much opera, and so
much music, that they knew
whether or not the play was
going to succeed or if they
had to change things.
During these tryouts, the
people involved with the show
would have an opportunity to
gauge what aspects of the
performance worked and
which ones didnt. Scranton
audiences became one of the
best tools to find this out.
If they didnt like you, you
knew it, said McDonald. In
the vaudeville days, they
would just start a loud hiss
that would go through the
whole theater. I dont know
how it sounded, but people
who were here described it to
me and said once you heard it
you never forgot it, and the
critics were very severe.
If you were not good, they
would tell you and it didnt
matter if you were the most
important actor in the country.
You either made them happy
or you knew you were going
to be told about it. So, you
were pretty sure you were
going to get an honest review.
And they werent, particularly
in the old days, quick to give a
standing ovation. If they did,
you knew you had to be pretty
good.
This level of honesty was
appreciated, and, as a result,
some of the most popular
performers came to the area at
the height of their popularity,
including Edwin Booth whom
McDonald described as the
greatest Shakesperian actor
that America every produced.
The book also includes a
wealth of information about
performers from the area, the
stories of some surprised and
fascinated McDonald herself.
There were people I didnt
know anything about, said
McDonald. Lillian Raymon-
di, she was a girl from
South Side that I knew noth-
ing about that became a Met-
ropolitan Opera star, and, a
couple other people that I
really didnt know until I went
back searching through Dr.
(D.E.) Jones files for local
people.
Dr. Jones files are held at
the Lackawanna County His-
torical Society where McDo-
nald said she did a lot of re-
search for the book.
One of the great assets to
this community is this Histor-
ical Society, said McDonald.
They have a lot of records
that people arent aware of
that they should be aware of.
You can come in and speak
with the director or the librar-
ian and if they have some-
thing, theyre more than happy
to help.
The Historical Society is
located at 232 Monroe Ave.,
Scranton. For more informa-
tion, call 344.3841.

In recent years, online penny
auctions have grown tremen-
dously and the new book Pen-
ny Wise: The Complete Guide
to Saving Money with Online
Penny Auctions can help
those interested become a part
of it.
A penny auction is a bid-
ding-fee auction. Participants
purchase bids at a pre-set price
to use in the online auctions.
Each bid typically increases
the auction price of the item by
a penny. When time expires,
the last participant to have
placed a bid wins the item,
with the additional cost being
the final bid price plus ship-
ping.
Written by Baptist Bible
College (BBC) Executive Di-
rector of Communications and
Marketing Ken Knelly and
former BBC web designer
Joshua Waldron, the book
explains the origins of the
penny auction industry, the
business model behind the
sites, basic fundamentals and
various auction formats, ways
to know when to bid and when
not to, developing an online
identity; methods of tracking
your success, recognizing red
flags and problem sites, mone-
tizing your wins and how to
start your own website.
Its a very different way of
buying things, and if youre
not focused on what youre
doing, and youre not prepared,
you wont get value for what
youre doing, or you might
lose your money, said Knelly.
Knelly was first made aware
of penny auctions by his friend
and co-author of the book,
Waldron.
In the preface, Waldron
explains that he discovered
penny auctions in 2009 and by
December 2009 he launched
the website Penny Auction List
(http://pennyauctionlist.com/).
The website was the first fil-
tered directory of penny auc-
tions on the Web and features
penny auction tips, strategies
and news.
As more penny auction sites
opened and closed, Waldron
felt a book was needed.
There really wasnt a book
out there on the whole busi-
ness of how it works, a penny
auction for dummies-type
book, said Knelly.
Waldron, who now lives in
Virginia, reached out to Knelly
and the two began work on the
book communicating through
email, Google docs and over
the phone.
After running the website,
Waldron was very familiar on
the subject, but Knelly ad-
mitted he knew very little
about the subject when the
process began, but said his 13
years of experience working in
newspapers helped him learn
about the service quickly so he
could write about it.
I always kind of viewed it,
when I was in journalism, as
the same kind of thing of try-
ing to make ideas clear or help
people understand things, said
Knelly.
My contribution is really
the editing, the structure and a
good bit of the writing. (Wal-
dron) did some of the writing
as well. There is a website that
goes with it. I wrote the con-
tent for that; he did the de-
sign.
Knelly said one of the things
that attracted him to the project
was the opportunity to work
with Waldron and he also felt
it could be a good first project
of sorts for his business, Clear-
berries.
Clearberries guides commu-
nication strategies for busi-
nesses and nonprofits. Its work
includes writing and editing,
public relations consulting and
a range of other related com-
munications services.
Although Penny Wise is
not officially Clearberries
first book, Knelly did use a lot
of the skills the business offers
in putting it together.

berries.com.

Entertainer Gerard Mayer
has a new CD available for
the holidays.
His first CD raised more
than $12,000 for The Re-
gional Dialysis Patient Fund,
according to Mayer. The
fund provides blood pressure
monitors, medications and
transportation to and from
dialysis usually three times a
week.
Home for the Holidays:
Gerard Mayer and Friends
released Dec. 1.
The CD features Mayer on
vocals, Dr. Henry Yeager, an
area nephrologist, on trum-
pet, Sean Flynn on rhythm
guitar, John Lewis, lead guit-
ar,and Mark Woodyatt, vio-
lin and viola.
The album also features
the St. Mary of Mount Car-
mel Church Youth Choir
under the direction of Liz
Sottile, on Calling The Chil-
dren.
In addition to his work as
an entertainer, Mayer is em-
ployed as a dialysis nurse by
Davita, which has units in
Allied Moses Taylor, Re-
gional Hospital in Scranton,
Old Forge, Dunmore, Childs
and Tunkhannock.
Thats the connection,
said Mayer.
Combining both occupa-
tions, I came up with the
idea of a CD and the dialysis
patient fund.
The CD is priced at $10
and is available at Joe Nar-
dones Gallery of Sound, The
Moses Taylor Hospital Gift
Shop, Magdon Music and
Great Temptations Bake
Shop.
It is also available by mail
order for $15.

patients and ... it makes a
great gift, Mayer said.
Checks should be made
payable to Gerard Mayer, 32

A new Stephen Hen-
drickson display is ready
to be viewed at the Die-
trich Theater, along with
antique toys, displayed by
Patrick Robinson and
Mark Mitchell, Amy Col-
leys doll house all ready
for Christmas, and more.
The public is invited to
experience these displays.
Stephen Hendrickson,
production designer for
the CBS hit, The Good
Wife, spins a different
theme for the holidays
every year at the Dietrich
Theater.
Displays that patrons
may remember, including
the Winter Circus, were
swept away by the Sep-
tember flood, but Hen-
drickson has completed his
new display entitled, On
Christmas Eve, who let
the monkeys in.
This display tells a story
that each onlooker is in-
vited to discover. Children
can push buttons and
make the figures move,
around and around, up and
down.
Hendrickson divides his
time between New York
City and Tunkhannock.
His creative mind has
already conceived ideas
for displays at least three
years from now.
First, he collects figures
and pieces of the sets.
Then the ideas come
flooding in. Then the pro-
duction begins and contin-
ues over many months.
All of the holiday dis-
plays will be at the Die-
trich Theater through the
end of the year.
They can be viewed any
time the theater is open or
by appointment.
For more information,
call 996.1500.
Dietrich Theater hosts new display
Consider it an early
Christmas gift to fans of
Scrantons original music
scene. And The Money-
notes, the citys overly ani-
mated pop-bluegrass-rock
outfit, will reunite for one
night, Thursday, Dec. 22, at
The Bog, 341 Adams Ave.,
Scranton.
The band stopped per-
forming in Aug. 2010, ac-
cording to drummer Setty
Hopkins, arguably at the
height of its popularity.
Its never been off the
table that wed do some-
thing again, Hopkins said.
The group became known
for off-beat, up-tempo
songs that featured the
combined vocal talents of
Pat Finnerty (bass), Mike
Quinn (guitar, mandolin),
and Mitch (guitar) and Roy
Williams (piano, mandolin,
guitar). Hopkins and Brian
Craig (washboard, percus-
sion) complete the outfit.
Originally formed in
2006 under the name Dr.
Horsemachine and the
Moneynotes, the band re-
leased the full-length al-
bum New Cornucopia!
between two EPs 2007s
This Year We Hunt and
2009s On The Town, On
The Vine through Prai-
rie Queen Records. They
also recorded two sessions
for www.daytrotter.com.
A trip back to The Bog
marks a true return to form
for And The Moneynotes,
and its one they hope fans
will support.
Were hoping for a blow-
out, Hopkins said. We
have a lot of friends, and
we want them all to be
there.
Playing close to Christ-
mas will help foster a prop-
er homecoming show.
Its our early Christmas
present, Hopkins said.
Along with the live per-
formance, Hopkins hinted
that material recorded for
an album never officially
released could be available
next Thursday.
Some of that material
was performed for a music
video series for The Week-
ender, a sister publication
of Go Lackawanna, in
March 2010.
While the Dec. 22 per-
formance is billed as a one-
night reunion show, there
may be more for And The
Moneynotes down the road.
As we left things last
time, nothings written in
stone, Hopkins said.

Clarks Summit, Pa. DECEMBER 21 TO DECEMBER 27, 2011 50
Dave Morgan and Mike Bare-
sse, two students of Jason
Ratchford at Pridelands Brazi-
lian Jiu-Jitsu in Clarks Summit,
each won Cage Fight 9 Mixed
Martial Arts fights on Nov. 25
at Lackawanna College.
Morgan won his professional
flyweight fight over Evan Velez
by a unanimous decision with
several guillotine attempts,
according to Ratchford.
I knewgoing in, I had a
wrestling advantage so I used
that to my strength, Morgan
said. Up at Pridelands, theyve
got me going with my jiu-jitsu
and my boxing so I used a lot
more of that.
Baresse defeated Mark Man-
giardi in an amateur middle-
weight fight, in which Mangiar-
di tapped out in the second
round after Baresse held himin
a fierce guillotine choke.
He made the mistake of
going in for a double-leg kick
down on me, Baresse said. I
pretty much capitalized on what
me and my coach (Ratchford)
were going over in the locker
room, just sinking my armin
deep on a standing guillotine.
Ratchford coaches both fight-
ers and is the lead instructor at
Pridelands Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Pridelands not only has a Brazi-
lian Jiu-Jitsu program, but also
an MMAprogram.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a sys-
temof ground fighting, throws,
submissions, chokes and take-
downs, Ratchford said. MMA
is a mixture of everything, in-
cluding Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu,
freestyle Greco-Roman wres-
tling, kick boxing and anything
else you can think of.
Ratchford started training in
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in1999 and
after about 12 years earned a
promotion to black belt on June
26.
I believe in my jiu-jitsu so
much, Ratchford said. I be-
lieve that if someone wants to
compete or train or really learn
jiu-jitsu, whether it be for self
defense or for fighting at the
professional or amateur level, I
believe that once they try my

ABINGTON HEIGHTS -Abington Heights se-
nior Tiffany ODonnell scored the last eights points
for the Lady Comets, giving bington Heights a 48-
45 victory over Holy Redeemer at home on Dec. 14.
The Lady Comets held a 46-45 lead when ODon-
nell stepped to the free throw line with less than 20
seconds remaining in regulation. She missed the
front end of a one-and-one, but crashed the boards
and pulled in her own rebound, giving herself anoth-
er opportunity to add to the Lady Comets lead with
14.8 seconds left in the game. ODonnell nailed both
free throws, putting Abington Heights up by three.
She knows the game, and she plays very well,
Abington Heights coach Vince Bucciarelli said.

FACTORYVILLE - Lakeland had three
players score in double figures in its 63-
54 victory over Lackawanna Trail in the
consolation game of the Lackawanna Trail
Invitational on Dec.17.
It was good (to get the win), Lakeland
head coach Dave Rosenkrans said. Kyle
(Kiehart) just came back last night, so we
were kind of out of it a little bit in that
game, but we had a little more team
chemistry tonight.
The Chiefs opened the game on a 10-2
run and led, 19-10, at the end of the first
quarter.
We try to keep the crowd out of the
game, thats a big thing, Rosenkrans said.
In three out of the four games, we jump-
ed out to first quarter leads. This time, we
actually held on to one. Hopefully, these
guys will turn it on now.
Point guard Eric Grabowski, who fin-
ished the game with 13 points and five
steals, forced four turnovers in the first
quarter.
Erics a good player, Rosenkrans said.
He was excellent distributing the ball and
was more under control on offense today.
The Lions cut the lead to six points at
the half. Matt Lochen and Lyle Sweppen-
heiser each hit a three-pointer in the quar-
ter for Trail.
The Lions started the second half with
an 8-2 run to tie the game with 3:37 left in
the third quarter. Stephen Miller, Trails
seven-foot-one center, scored 10 of his 23

ODonnells rebound on
the Lady Comets final pos-
session was just one of
Abington Heights many
second chance opportuni-
ties. The Lady Comets shot
poorly in the first half and
fell behind early after Holy
Redeemer went on a 6-0 run
to start the game. Despite
the slow start, Abington
Heights grabbed a slew of
offensive rebounds.
Getting that second or
third shot helped us out a
great deal because we we-
rent hitting the first shot,
Bucciarelli said. It helped
pull us back into the game.
The Comets scrappy play
gave Abington Heights a
slim 20-15 lead late in the
second quarter, but Sara
Altemose nailed a three-
pointer as time expired to
cut the Lady Comets lead
to 20-18 at the end of the
half.
The third quarter had four
lead changes, but Abington
Heights finished the quarter
strong, scoring eight
straight points. Katherine
Rosencrance and Caitie
Nealon each had four points
during the 8-0 run.
Despite the deficit, the
Royals crawled back into
the game with 16 fourth-
quarter points. Holy Re-
deemer cut the lead to one
behind Alana Wilsons six
straight points, but Abing-
ton Heights came up with
two big stops with less than
a minute to play to help the
Comets secure the victory.
It was big and they came
through, Bucciarelli said.
That was a very good team
we played tonight so I was
proud of my girls.
ODonnell led Abington
Heights with 14 points
while Rosencrance added
11. Paige Makowski led the
Royals with 11 points.
The Comets will face off
against East Stroudsburg
High School at 7:15 Thurs-
day, Dec. 22, at home.

Kat Rosencrance came up with 11
points for the Lady Comets in the
teams win over Holy Redeemer.
Abington Heights senior
wrestler Dylan Berardelli
finished last year strong and
is looking to build off that
success this season. He fin-
ished fourth at districts and
advanced to the Northeast
Regionals, despite an 8-19
regular season record. Al-
though he lost in the first
round of regionals, head
coach Chris Calder thinks the
experience was a valuable
one.
It was very important for
him, Calder said. He
peaked at the right time. We
want our guys to peak around
districts so they have a good
chance to get to the regional
and state tournaments. Both
mentally and physically, he
was at the right point at the
right time.
Berardelli was voted as a
co-captain this season along
with juniors Nick Senuk and
Josh Slocum.
Hes one of the hardest
workers we have, Calder
said. He takes it to heart
when the team doesnt live up
to expectations and pushes
them to do the best they can.
Berardelli currently has a
record of 8-2 on the season.
He went 3-1 during the Naza-
reth Invitational and won by
forfeit against Pittston Area.
He also won four of five
matches in the Penn Manor
Invitational this past weekend.
According to Calder, Berar-
delli has improved as both a
wrestler and team leader over
the years.
Hes added more moves to
his arsenal and has also be-
come more and more of lead-
er for guys to follow, he said.
He always learns from his
mistakes and makes the best
of things the next time out on
the mat.
Calder thinks Berardelli
will benefit from the move
from 215 lbs. to heavyweight.
I think it will be a lot bet-
ter for him, Calder said. He
will be one of the most agile
285 lb. kids in the area. He
can attack the legs and take
guys down. I think that will
benefit him a lot. He also has
the ability to pummel and
hand-fight upper body wise.
Hes going to be good on his
feet from the neutral position
and will need to score there to
control matches.
The Craig brothers, Evan
and Morgan, won the last four
district titles at heavyweight
and will be a tough act to
follow.
They left big shoes to fill,
but Dylan wants to make his
own mark, Calder said.
Calder expects Berardelli to
be a contender for medals at
the end of the season.
I definitely see him as a
high placer at districts and a
regional qualifier, he said. I
also expect him to be one of
the people scrapping for the
top three places at regionals.
Berardelli was also a mem-
ber of the football team and
participated in the shot put
and javelin events as a mem-
ber of the track and field
team.
The Comets return to action
on Dec. 31 at the Selinsgrove
Tournament.

points in the quarter to cut
Lakelands lead to three. Mill-
er also pulled down 20 re-
bounds and blocked eight
shots.
This is our third year play-
ing Miller. We know hes good
and we know hes going to
score, Rosenkrans said. We
just try to keep him to 15 to 20
points and hope for the best.
Kiehart scored nine of his
game-high 24 points in the
fourth quarter and the Chiefs
ended the game on a 9-4 run in
the last 1:11 to seal the win.
Today we played as a team
and got the win, Kiehart said.
Im glad to be back; its been
so long. I love this team;
theyre all my boys.
Mike Striefsky added 10
points for the Chiefs. J.J. Ro-
jenches scored eight points
and grabbed four rebounds.
Sweppenheiser chipped in
with 14 points and six re-
bounds for the Lions and Matt
Lochen scored seven.
Rosenkrans is confident that
when healthy, the Chiefs can
play with anyone in their divi-
sion.
I told the kids I feel there
isnt a team out there that we
cant compete with, he said.
Theres going to be some
good games, but you get a
couple wins and get some
confidence.

place theyll never go anywhere
else.
Ratchford also has a back-
ground in judo, wrestling,
mixed martial arts and boxing.
He surrounds himself with
people who have experience in
all the elements of fighting.
The best fighters in MMA
are the most well-rounded
fighters, Ratchford said. I
really think that my program
offers the best well-rounded
training you can get your hands
on.
Morgan grewup wrestling
and enjoyed the close bonds he
formed with his teammates and
coaches. He said Pridelands
provides this same family-ori-
ented environment.
Its different fromany other
club that Ive been associated
with in MMA, Morgan said. I
like going up there and being
able to be myself.
Baresse attributes a lot of his
success and the evolution of his
fighting to Ratchford and the
Pridelands program.
It took that dedication to
Jasons programand Brazilian
Jiu-Jitsu to really perfect the
submissions and the defense
and it paid off in this last fight
because I finished it, Baresse
said. I got the guillotine.
Ratchford started Pridelands
about two years ago in Green
Ridge. When his student base
grew, he needed to move to a
bigger location in Clarks Sum-
mit across the street fromJJ
Bridges, where he has been for
less than a year.
I opened my academy be-
cause I really have a passion for
teaching, Ratchford said. I
love seeing people getting better
and love seeing people reach
goals that they never thought
were possible.
Ratchford also offers a year-
round special of free Brazilian
Jiu-Jitsu classes for 30 days.
The childrens programranges
fromages six to14 while the
adult programincludes ages 15
and up.
Jiu-Jitsu is really for every-
one because its based on tech-
nique and leverage, Ratchford
said. I have one student whos
actually 70.
Ratchford hopes his students
can understand the theory be-
hind jiu-jitsu and pass that
knowledge on to their children
and students.
I want to see thembecome
great teachers, Ratchford said.
I want to see all of thembe-
come people who can express
what I taught themand show
the next generation, which will
be even better than them.
The next MMAevent for
some of Ratchfords fighters is
scheduled at 7 p.m. Feb. 10 at
the Woodlands Inn and Resort.

Mike Strong became the all-
time leader in career coaching
wins in National Collegiate
Athletic Association Division
III womens basketball Sat-
urday with a 46-43 victory
over host Cabrini College in
Radnor but he wasnt on the
bench when the record be-
came his..
Strong was ejected for the
first time in his 921-game
career after receiving two
technical fouls midway
through the second half.
I should probably say I did
it on purpose, but I didnt,
Strong said. I slipped. Both
technicals were deserved.
The good news is that it emo-
tionally charged us and we
finished.
When the Lady Royals held
on at the end, Strong improved
to 758-163 in his 32-year ca-
reer, allowing him to break a
tie at 757 with Phil Kahler, the
retired St. John Fisher coach.
Strong was not, however, on
the bench when the record
officially became his.
Erin Boggan led Scranton
with 11 points while adding
eight rebounds and three
steals. Lindsay Fluehr had 10
points, five rebounds, three
blocked shots and three steals.
Tayler Pallotta, a junior
from Dunmore, had eight
points and 11 rebounds to help
Scranton improve to 4-4.
Im very humbled and very
proud, Strong said. Were
fortunate that we have so
many Philly-area alumni. If
we were not going to get it in
Scranton that it could happen
here. This achievement is for
all the players, assistant coach-
es and staff. Its a celebration
for all of us.

CLARKS GREEN - The
Clarks Green Borough Coun-
cil began discussions during
this months meeting regard-
ing the new police contract.
Council opened the police
bids from Clarks Summit and
South Abington. The cost of
South Abington policing
Clarks Green for three years
would be $252,850 and
$434,026 for five years . The
cost of Clarks Summits ser-
vice for three years would be
$217,609.55 and $372,961.93
for five years .
The current contract is with
the South Abington police and
Council agreed it is very satis-
fied with theat service.
Council member Marnie
ODea Palmer stated, I feel
safe with South Abington. It
was also stated that South
Abington does have more
officers on staff than Clarks
Summit.
However, the Clarks Sum-
mit police feel that if hired,
they would be able to fulfill
the contract without hiring
additional officers.
In other business, council t
discussed the tentative budget
for next year. As of the meet-
ing, the projected total expens-
es of the borough for 2012
would be $1,013,741 with the
balance at the end of the year
being $396,726.
However, certain points of
the budget need to be adjusted,
such as new insurance rates,
changes to the borough pay-
roll and a fee paid to the tax
collecting agency, Berkheimer.
Council decided to discuss
and then vote on the budget as
well as the police contract at a
continuation of the meeting to
be held on Thursday, Dec. 29
at 7 p.m.
Council passed two ordi-
nances. Ordinance 2-2011
grants the Shade Tree Com-
mittees request to be granted
Shade Tree Commission sta-
tus and Ordinance 3-2011
which addresses the increased
sewer rate.
The rate will be increased to
$492 per dwelling unit. The
new ordnance also provides
for council to decide on a
billing schedule once Penn-
sylvania Water Company
stops the billing in October
2012.
Also mentioned at the meet-
ing was that council secretary
and real estate tax collector ,
Janice Brown celebrated her
10-year anniversary with the

WAVERLY - Maryellen
Dandrea attended the Wa-
verly Township meeting held
on Monday, Dec. 12, the last
meeting of the year, to get
the supervisors opinion on
saving the historic school-
house, at 1208 N. Abington
Rd.
Dandrea stated the
schoolhouse is in very poor
shape but feels it is worth
saving. The immediate con-
cern is the schoolhouse sur-
viving the winter because it
is basically a shell of a
building, according to
Dandrea.
One idea is to install rub-
ber roofing with an overlap
that could last two to three
years, giving the Historical
Architectural Review Board
(HARB) enough time to
gain funding. A general
contractor was called for
estimate on the price of cov-
ering the roof.
There are several options
to restoring the schoolhouse.
A job corp. is starting in
2012 where volunteers could
be recruited, using Keystone
historical preservation funds
or contributions and volun-
teers from the community.
The schoolhouse is con-
siderably deteriorated and
supervisor Thomas Durbin
remarked on how much
money taxpayers are willing
to put into the restoration.
Depending on the grants
available, supervisors would
be in favor of the preserva-
tion, however, they intend to
try to get feedback from the
community before moving
further.
In the fall/winter news-
letter, the community will be
asked for its opinion on sav-
ing the schoolhouse. Ideas
can be submitted via e-mail
or on the townships website
at www.waverlytwp.org.
The meeting schedule for
2012 was decided in the
managers report. Waverly
Township meetings are the
second and last Monday of
the month with the excep-
tion of January 3, 2012
Tuesday and May 29, 2012,
which are both Tuesdays.
Meeting times can be
viewed on the townships
website..
The final copy of the
Flood Plain Ordinance, ordi-
nance #137, was presented
by solicitor Atty. Andrew
Hailstone and approved by
supervisors.
